Transmural ablation of all the pulmonary veins: Is it the Holy Grail for atrial fibrillation cure? - Figure 1
Eur. Heart J. (2010), 31 (22), 2708-2711; 10.1093/eurheartj/ehq241 - Click here to view abstract
Schematic of the anatomo-functional arrhythmic mechanism and common ablation strategies in paroxysmal and long-standing/persistent AF. (A) Active triggers arising from the atrial myocardium within the PVs and other thoracic veins (CS, vein/ligament of Marshall, and the SVC) are shown in green. Autonomic ganglia and nerves are shown in yellow. Abrupt changes of fibre orientation along the PV antrum and posterior LA wall favouring anatomic re-entry or high frequency rotors are also shown. (B) The two most common approaches for paroxysmal AF: segmental PV isolation for electric disconnection of triggers within the veins; and circumferential ostial PV isolation (one-by-one linear ablation of the PVs). (C) Simultaneous isolation of the ipsilateral PVs, encircling the antrum and additional linear lesions between the superior and inferior PVs. (D) Combinations of more than two techniques are usually necessary for a successful outcome in long-standing or persistent AF. These approaches include (i) PV isolation; (ii) isolation of the thoracic veins and non-PV triggers; (iii) additional linear lesions such as the 'mitral isthmus' line connecting the mitral valve and the lesion encircling the LIPV, a 'roof' line connecting the lesions encircling the left and right PVs, a 'right atrial isthmus' line, and an 'anterior' line connecting the roof line to the mitral annulus anteriorly; (iv) ablation of complex fractionated activity; and (v) ablation of autonomic plexuses. CS, coronary sinus; LAA, left atrial appendage; LIPV, left inferior PV; LSPV, left superior PV; RIPV, right inferior PV; RSPV, right superior PV; SVC, superior vena cava.
Tilt testing and neurally mediated syncope: too many protocols for one condition or specific protocols for different situations? - Figure 1
Eur. Heart J. (2009), 30 (18), 2174-2176; 10.1093/eurheartj/ehp290 - Click here to view the abstract
This figure shows very schematically the different possible afferent pathways of neurally mediated syncope and how tilt testing and the different drugs can act on these different triggers. Tilt testing and nitroglycerin provoke central hypovolaemia by increasing venous pooling; isoproterenol, increases the adrenergic nerve tone, as happens in those cases triggered by fear or pain; clomipramine enhances central serotonergic activity as probably happens in some syncopal centrally induced syncopal episodes.

Illustration of the potential impact on outcome (survival vs. sudden death) of the interaction between two arrhythmogenic substrates (acute myocardial infarction or heart failure, and mutations causing arrhythmogenic diseases) and predominantly protecting or damaging clusters of common genetic variants (SNPs). As the cluster of SNPs of a given individual reflects the inheritance by the parents, this interaction is clearly governed by chance.

Individualized mechanistic-based atrial fibrillation management. Various non-invasive substrate based atrial mapping can help to improve phenotyping of AF patients. These may include: (A) atrial pericardial adipose tissue assessment using CMR from Mahajan et al.60; (B) atrial fibrosis detection using LGE-CMR from Daccarett et al.46; (C) non-invasive mapping of AF rotors from Haissaguerre et al.130; (D) assessment of pro-coagulation state; (E) assessment of sympathetic tone from measurement of subcutaneous nerve activity from Robinson et al.123

Genetic screening in acquired long QT syndrome? CAUTION: proceed carefully
Eur. Heart J. (2016) 37(18) doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehv620 - Click here to view the abstract
The molecular mechanism underlying congenital (cLQTS) and acquired long QT syndrome (aLQTS). The lower panel shows the distribution of QTc duration in health (green line), aLQTS (orange), and cLQTS (red line). The circles display the genetic architecture of the QTc duration, consisting of rare variants (mutations) with a large effect on QTc (red circles), common variants with an intermediate effect on QTc (orange circles), and very common variants with a small effect on QTc. The middle panels show that in aLQTS relatively fewer pathogenic mutations (e.g. mutations in non-pore regions of cardiac ion channels) or multiple common variants may cause mild QT prolongation at baseline and facilitate further QT prolongation upon exposure to acquired triggers. In comparison, in cLQTS, a disease-causing mutation in a transmembrane region of a cardiac ion channel may lead to clinically manifest QT prolongation at baseline, which is further prolonged upon exposure to acquired triggers.
Genetic variants and disease: correlate or cause?

(A) Expression pattern of Irx3 and connexins in the ventricular conduction system (VCS). Irx3 is expressed in the mature His-Purkinje system. Connexin 40 (Cx40) is co-expressed with Irx3 in the VCS. In the distal Purkinje fibres, Cx43 expression overlaps with that of Cx40. Cx43 is the only significantly expressed connexin in the working myocardium. (B) Schematic illustration of the Iroquois protein structure and the variants reported by Koizumi et al. All Iroquois proteins possess a highly conserved TALE-homeobox domain (TALE-HD) and an Iro motif. Both of the variants found in the probands with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation reside in the C-terminus within a region of unknown function.

Varsha Bhosle suicide: Police to question Asha, Lata
A police official said they had recorded statements of Asha's sister Usha, maid Dipali Mane and driver Vijay.
Mumbai: Even as the last rites of Varsha Bhosle, daughter of playback singer Asha Bhosle, were performed on Tuesday, police remained clueless about the reasons behind her suicide. Police officers investigating the case said they would record statements of Asha, who might be able to reveal the reason behind her 56-year-old daughter's suicide. A police official said they had recorded statements of Asha's sister Usha Mangeshkar, maid Dipali Mane and driver Vijay.
"Close family members have not been questioned yet since they are still in a state of shock," the police official said. The officer said police would soon record the statements of Asha, her elder sister and legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar and Varsha's former husband Hemant Kenkre. Police officials, however, said the Belgian pistol, with which Varsha allegedly killed herself, was registered in the name of Anand, Asha's youngest son and it was kept safely in the house.
Varsha was on Monday found dead with two bullet injuries in her head. She was the second of the three children of Asha and Ganpatrao Bhosle and stayed mostly with her mother in the posh Prabhu Kunj building in Mumbai. Police suspect that she committed suicide on Sunday night, but also said that the neighbours did not hear any gunshot.
Varsha's viscera sample has been sent for test. Police sources said the woman's post-mortem report confirmed she died of haemorrhagic shock due to bullet injuries. Three loaded cartridges were found in the pistol.
Varsha, who used to work as a freelance journalist, was divorced from sports journalist Hemant Kenkre. She wrote columns for web portal Rediff.com, The Sunday Observer and the Gentleman magazine, among other freelancing projects. She had also sung songs for some Hindi and Marathi films and performed in some concerts with her mother. She was depressed for many years and had tried to commit suicide in 2008 and 2010 by consuming sleeping pills.

(Ed. Note: It's an Olympic year in the NHL. So, naturally, we decided to use the trappings of the Winter Games to preview all 30 teams for the 2013-14 NHL season. Who takes the gold? Who falls on their triple-axel? Read on and find out!)
The Calgary Flames closed out the 2012-13 campaign much the same way they closed out the three that preceded it. By playing their last game of the regular season, then cleaning out their lockers and going their separate ways for the summer, having failed to unlock any of the extra levels.
Yes, it's been four years of postseason-free hockey, although there is cause to be at least somewhat uplifted if you're a Calgary fan: this time around, the Flames decided to do something about it, moving Jay Bouwmeester, and more importantly, Jarome Iginla, finally, belatedly, signifying the Flames' intention to rebuild rather than bless this mess.
Will the Flames be better this season? More than likely not -- not when your best players were traded and/or not replaced, albeit for the greater good. Not when Matt Stajan looks to be your top-line centre. But that doesn't mean this will be another disappointing season for Calgary, because circumstances have changed.
Rather than sitting back, head in hands, and blindly hoping that management's belligerence regarding a rebuild will pay off, then succumbing to despair after realizing it won't, this year's Calgary hockey fan gets to start the year in despair and watch it slowly but surely begin to dissipate. From that perspective, while the Flames are likely going to be a tire fire, but there's a good chance that for the first time in half a decade, they could finish the season on a positive note.
Apart from when the season mercifully ended, it's slim pickings for highlight of the year. But we'll go with this slick scoring play versus the Nashville Predators from young, promising defenceman T.J. Brodie.
As mentioned, the big departures happened at last year's trade deadline, as the Flames big adieu to Bouwmeester and long-time superstar captain Iginla, attempting to cobble together one decent package by trading him to both Boston and Pittsburgh at the same time. (It didn't really work out, as the club soon discovered you can't do that. Thus, after some confusion, Iginla went to Pittsburgh only, but then made it up to Boston by going there in the offseason.)
Not much else went on in Calgary this summer. Blake Comeau was traded to Columbus, T.J. Galiardi was acquired from the Sharks, and the big offseason move was a trade that saw Alex Tanguay and Cory Sarich head to Colorado for David Jones and Shane O'Brien. Jones is no Iginla-in-his-prime, but he should help to assuage the loss of Iginla's strength on the wing.
In goal, the Flames added Joey MacDonald and Karri Ramo, who could split time, considering goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff may or may not have retired. No one really knows. Whatever. He did his part last season, playing poorly enough in goal to finally necessitate the rebuild he'd helped the Flames avoid in seasons prior by playing well. Give him a statue, I say.
Forward: The first thing you need to know about this group of Flames: they are not strong down the middle. We'll let Flames Nation explain just how dire things are:
The current depth chart for the Flames at center, according to capgeek, begins with Matt Stajan, moves on to Mikael Backlund, and then progresses (regresses?) to Blair Jones. Corban Knight appears set to take over as a 3rd or 4th line center, but he has never played an NHL game and with Sean Monahan coming in this year (a prospect whom I was hopeful the Oilers could select) this could result in the Flames dressing two rookies at center along with a developing 2nd line center in Backlund and perennial whipping boy Matt Stajan.
I shouldn't have to tell you that that is not a good thing.
When you're leaning on Matt Stajan, well, you're probably falling over.
As they have been for years now, Calgary's far, far better on the wing, where Jones, Michael Cammalleri, Curtis Glencross, and Lee Stempniak give them a full core of bona fide top-six, veteran wingers. In addition, Sven Baertschi looks poised for a breakout campaign, and Galiardi will likely get plenty of opportunity to be a top-six guy.
But, again, considering the thin crop of guys between these wingers, it seems hard to believe this decent wing group will be able to do much damage.
Defense: It's not much more formidable on the back-end for Calgary. Mark Giordano and Dennis Wideman are capable, two-way defencemen that will likely be called on to create a lot of offence in addition to preventing the opposition from doing the same. In order for the Flames to be competitive, Giordano especially is going to have to have an All-Star season. With Bouwmeester off the books and little else behind him, this is his blueline for the time being (although one could argue it has been for awhile).
Kris Russell and T.J. Brodie, perhaps the brightest spot in a dark 2013 season, round out the top-four.
Goalies: In past years, the Flames have been a poorly-constructed team that remained in contention thanks in large part to the play of Miikka Kiprusoff. But that finally ended last year, when Kiprusoff fell of completely, exposing the rest of the team. As mentioned, it remains to be seen which Kiprusoff we'll see or if we'll even see him at all.
No Kipper means the Flames will run a one-two punch, if you can call it that, of Joey Macdonald and Karri Ramo. Stop snickering. I SAID STOP IT.
Bob Hartley returns for his second season behind the bench in Calgary. When he arrived, he was taking over a team that had just loaded up for another run. Now he's running a rebuild. That changes his job a little -- it will be interesting to see if he's allowed to keep at this all year or whether Jay Feaster gets frustrated with the inevitable losing to come and makes a chance.
Yes, that would be a hasty and short-sighted thing to do, but I don't have a lot of faith in Feaster, the Flames' GM. After all, look at the team he has now.
It will never not be "Red Hot Flames", which I'm pretty sure actually is a montage song.
T.J. Brodie. Brodie is fun to watch, and on a team with nothing to lose except most of their games, he should be allowed a little more creativity this year. Bob Hartley loves him, calling him the most pleasant surprise of last season, and if anybody in Calgary is poised for a breakout campaign, it'll be him.
Iginless. This is the first time in a generation that the Flames will play a full season without Jarome Iginla. Watching them adjust to his absence -- seeing who fills the leadership void, and who gets anointed as the next one -- is going to be fascinating.
Jay Feaster. From his mishandling of this club all along to the Ryan O'Reilly offer sheet waiver fiasco that, mercifully, never happened, he never ceases to amuse.
They're bad. Seriously, so bad. Summing up the Flames' issues, Kent Wilson has said "they need everything". They're almost an expansion team.
They will lose often. But it's seasons like this where young players get opportunities to grow and to shine. By the end of the year, it's likely the Flames will have identified their bright spots and some of their future stars, and there will be a glimmer of optimism for the future.

Patients Prefer Physicians' Recommendations of Health Apps
Doctors always have had a lot of influence with their patients. And now, as healthcare continues to evolve via new technology, this physician influence extends even to health apps.
Mitchell Research and Communications, in a recent survey of baby boomers, found that doctors have quite a bit of influence with patients in terms of their recommendations for apps for chronic and life threatening diseases. Among 600 baby boomers questioned in the survey, the consensus was that "they are more willing to download a health and wellness app based on their doctor's recommendation and were much less likely to download an app recommend by their family or friends," according to a review of the survey by John Pugh, the director of digital communications at Boehringer Ingelheim's Global Centre in Germany.
(You can read Pugh's post on apps here on the PSFK website, or click here for the Mitchellreport.)
Among the specific findings based on the baby-boomer responses to the Mitchell survey:
* 5% would download an app recommended by their friends
* 18% would download an app recommended by their family
* 60% would download an app recommended by their doctor
"Patients with chronic or life threatening conditions were 70 percent more likely to download an app to track their medical issues, while only half of users would download an app looking for general information or weight loss help," Pugh wrote.
In addition, according to Mitchell roughly 1 in 4 (24%) of the nation's 78 million baby boomers own smartphones.
Mitchell's findings indicated that Boomers are likely to download apps, and they are in a life stage where they need to monitor their health:
* Almost half (49%) have downloaded six or more apps.
* More than one-fourth (28%) have downloaded between 1-5 apps.
Mitchell also noted that one-quarter of Boomers (24%) have either been diagnosed with heart disease (15%), diabetes (7%) or both (2%).
"Seven-in-ten (70%) with diabetes are likely to download a mobile app dealing with diabetes," Mitchell said in a statement. "Half (50%) with a heart condition would download a heart disease app. People with serious diseases will download apps to help them live longer."
The Health 2.0 Con will begin next week in San Francisco. It will be focused on Mobile Health applications, and Developer' Challenges. The big question being asked is will patients (consumers) pay for eHealth and mHealth?
What do you think?

Lindsey Gergely recently represented my brother. Originally he was charged with 3 felonies and 3 misdemeanors. Lindsey worked day and night and met with my brother numerous times in jail to gather all the information she could. I never thought I would ever meet a lawyer who cares so much about her clients but she definitely does. She went above and beyond and in the end my brother was found NOT GUILTY on all charges. Lindsey is an amazing attorney and I would highly recommend her. I could never thank her enough for what she has done for my family.

We hired Lindsey Gergely for our son who was in very serious trouble for aggravated assault, domestic battery, false imprisonment and several misdemeanor charges. These serious charges he was facing could have resulted in many years in prison.
Fortunately, we had Lindsey Gergely as our attorney. Her experience, hard work and dedication is unsurpassed. After a three day trial by jury our son was found not guilty on all charges!! The courtroom was full and everyone in attendance was very impressed with Lindsey Gergely.
We are extremely pleased with our favorable outcome and would highly recommend Ms Gergely. She is a competent, confident, professional and compassionate attorney. If you are in need of representation there is without a doubt no need to look any further. We will always highly recommend Lindsey Gergely.

Lindsey was a angel. I was in trouble (criminal charge). She did such a great job and I never even had to go to court. She is a miracle worker. She is efficient, smart and trustworthy. I am so happy! She saved my life and my reputation!

The al Qaeda terrorist network posed a threat to the United States for almost a decade before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Throughout that period -- during the eight years of the Clinton administration and the first eight months of the Bush administration prior to Sept. 11 -- the U.S. government worked hard to counter the al Qaeda threat.
During the transition, President-elect Bush's national security team was briefed on the Clinton administration's efforts to deal with al Qaeda. The seriousness of the threat was well understood by the president and his national security principals. In response to my request for a presidential initiative, the counterterrorism team, which we had held over from the Clinton administration, suggested several ideas, some of which had been around since 1998 but had not been adopted. No al Qaeda plan was turned over to the new administration
We adopted several of these ideas. We committed more funding to counterterrorism and intelligence efforts. We increased efforts to go after al Qaeda's finances. We increased American support for anti-terror activities in Uzbekistan.

And that is indeed what happened contrary to the lies put forth by one Mr Clarke and 60 Minutes.
Please feel free to use this pic (it's mine, no copyright).
It's Richard Clarke and Rand Beers who should be defending themselves, after all, they wee the ones who did nothing about the attacks against us by Al-Qaeda, and by not responding, they only emboldened Al-Qaeda.
These two flak's for John Kerry will whither on the vine, once the light of day is shown upon their connections to the Kerry Campaign, and once again, they will be exposed for the frauds they are
Despite what some have suggested, we received no intelligence that terrorists were preparing to attack the homeland using airplanes as missiles, though some analysts speculated that terrorists might hijack airplanes to try to free U.S.-held terrorists. The FAA even issued a warning to airlines and aviation security personnel that "the potential for a terrorist operation, such as an airline hijacking to free terrorists incarcerated in the United States, remains a concern."I have to chime in at this point and say that we should have been ready for this. If we aren't ready for such contingencies, then we're to blame. But I dont' blame Condi or GW for this personally. We all share the responsibility.
I heard that we still can't knock down a rogue plane over DC. That's just wrong. We need to iron out those problems and be better prepared.
We also need to talk about what we'll do when a nuke goes off in a large American urban center. It's not being discussed nearly enough yet. That's the same kind of thinking (ignoring the inevitability) that got us into 9/11.
That and distraction. Truman did very well with containing Soviet expansionism in Berlin and Greece, and a juggling act can only be carried on for so long before the inevitable comes to pass.
But even given Truman's personality and personal shortcomings, I thing he was horrified at the possibility the public would learn just how much his predecessor had bargained away. He kept the lid on as well as he could, but our adversaries were not playing by his rules.
The funny thing is, the American public probably would have supported him had he taken the steps then that were really necessary. And he might be remembered as the American president who accomplished what had to wait for Reagan to come along to get done. -archy-/-
I ain't heard tell of the muslum terrorists pulling off a successful raid around Billings or Helena lately. And as for Missoula, I reckon the Hmong who settled thereabouts from Laos would take care of any problems of that sort just fine.
Bump! And thanks for the analysis.
Yeah, it seems one can be for or against a war in a democracy. It also seems one can change his mind. But one had best be very careful about communicating these personal views. Kerry and Fonda were neither considerate nor principled. I think they both wanted media attention and to lead a trend. And I think Kerry wanted to save his hide. He obviously valued his carcass more than anyone else's.

Symbian 3 and 4 Progress
Development is moving forward on Symbian, a mobile phone operating system that is largely under free licensing. Version 3 should show all its planned features by the first quarter of 2010.
As developer Victor Palau writes in the Symbian blog, 30 of the 43 new features are already in the code. Among the functions that have been missing in Symbian and will be part of the next version are some desktops. Up to now Symbian mobile phones had rudimentary home screens and then only with the option to display bookmarks for applications. Things have moved along from there. HD videos and song recognition familiar to iPhone apps were added. Hardware accelerated graphics are also noticeable in the camera function. CalDAV support and integration of Qt 4.6.1 in the Symbian 3 SDK are further features.
Developers also addressed the double-click function found in many touchscreen menus that works inconsistently in some mobile phones by introducing the Single Tap solution.
Qt for Symbian is available under LGPL in the repositories of the Symbian Foundation. The Symbian Product Development Kit (PDK) named S3 PDK3.0 already has Qt. While Symbian 3 is approaching completion, Symbian 4 is already in the works. Symbian provides an overview of the future version in their features list.

Kill and Chill: Restructuring Canada's Beef Commodity ChainBy: Ian MacLachlan (author)Paperback
More than 4 weeks availability
DescriptionBoth horrified and fascinated by a visit with his geography students to the Canada Packers Lethbridge plant, Ian MacLachlan searched for a book that would explain the main features of the Canadian meat packing industry. Finding very little available, he set about writing an account of the industry that is both an economic geography and economic history. Comprehensive in its treatment of the whole system surrounding the Canadian beef industry, Kill and Chill offers a history of the structural changes in Canada's cattle and beef commodity chain, beginning with calf production and cattle feeding on farms and feedlots. It goes on to describe the changes in cattle marketing, the historical development of meatpacking-in particular the emergence of Canada's 'Big Three' meatpacking firms-and the rise of meatpacking unionism. Carrying the story almost to the present with the takeover of Maple Leaf by the McCain family in the mid-1990s, the work concludes with a discussion of current trends in retail beef marketing.

... disgusting. I disinfected mine, but it still grossed me out. After we looked at all the fish up close, we had the opportunity to jump off the boat! I got some cool videos of that. I got sort of sunburnt, so a nice shower back at home base felt good after a busy day. Everyone got all dressed up, we ate dinner, then listened to a talk about how we can go further with GLA, 7 elements and the Dominican Republic. Lots of pictures were ...

Every single person besides the mentors (who completely downplayed this day to a little walk in the woods) was on the verge of death. I even took off my shirt so I was only in a sports bra. I'm not really the type of person to wear minimal clothing like that around people, but it was actually that hot. When we finally made it to the top and I collapsed on ...

... farm this guy has with 1 million bees! We got to walk a little trail to go see them and try some honey comb! Somebody told me honey comb was bee throwup after I tried it so I got pretty grossed out. The final stretch of cement came after the tour. I'm honestly so happy to be done with shoveling heavy cement into buckets in the 95 degree sun. Back at home base, we have lots of lizard friends. They all live in our room. I'm just kidding I hate ...
Today's highlight was dinner at Bliss, an Italian restaurant situated in a converted hotel.

Maggie Aderin-Pocock, 44, is the first to admit that she doesn't look like a space scientist. The mention of her career has surprised many, including the Queen of England. "When I got my MBE, the Queen said a few words and then she asked me what I did in life. When I told her that I was a space scientist, she was physically shocked," says Aderin-Pocock. "It's a curve ball for some people because they expect me to say something different."
On the day of our meeting Aderin-Pocock looks like a housewife from a bygone era: dressed in a 1950s-style dress, she offers me tea and muffins in her home in Guildford, a middle-class town to the southwest of London, where she has lived for the past seven years with her husband Martin and their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Lauren.
Red-brick houses line streets with names like Appletree Court and Cinnamon Gardens. For someone whose life ambition is to travel 35m miles to Mars, the Aderin-Pocock home is a surprisingly down-to-earth choice.
"You can see the stars a little better in Guildford than in London," says Aderin-Pocock, who plans to convert a garden shed into an observatory. "I go into the back garden, away from the street lamps, and lie in the middle of the lawn to look at the stars."
It is an important consideration for someone who designs optical equipment for satellites and telescopes, including a small part of the James Webb, the planned successor to the Hubble telescope. The Webb, which is a joint European Space Agency/Nasa venture and scheduled to launch in 2018, has a mirror 21 feet in diameter and a sunshield the size of a tennis court. By looking at infrared light, it will allow scientists to peer deeper than ever before into the universe.
"It is a huge beast," says Aderin-Pocock. "It went through some difficulties recently and was almost cancelled by the American government because it has overrun its budget. But it has survived."
Since becoming a mother, Aderin-Pocock divides her time between running Science Innovation, a company that educates children about space, and presenting television programmes for the BBC. Although these roles have typically been reserved for greying white men such as Sir Patrick Moore and Bill Nye, Aderin-Pocock has won audiences with her approachability and enthusiasm.
"People in the profession sometimes look at me and think: 'Who's this one? She's not one of us,'" says Aderin-Pocock. "But then we start doing the science and they realise that I am just as enthusiastic and competent. The barriers disappear and we get caught up in the science."
In the living room we drink tea overlooking a garden with an apple tree. Paintings and photographs from travels fill the small room: Japanese cranes hang beside an aboriginal painting and a deflated silver whale balloon belonging to her daughter. On a coffee table a family of Tanzanian sculptures huddle together. Aderin-Pocock has covered their heads in bright wool caps, as if protecting them from the cold. "My father came over from Nigeria in the late 1950s and said he remembered feeling cold for the first time," she says. "The first thing he did was buy a really thick coat."
Except for a carpet ringed in celestial-looking spheres and books on the history of astronomy, there is little in Aderin-Pocock's home that reveals anything about her scientific pursuits or what has been the biggest influence in her life: the moon.
Born in 1968 to Nigerian parents and raised in Camden, north London, Pocock has often said that she looked to the moon because life on earth was so hard. Her parents divorced when she was four years old and she moved homes 13 times. She also suffered from dyslexia and was put in remedial classes, "expected to do little more than play with safety scissors and glitter". When she expressed interest in becoming a scientist, teachers pointed to her warm nature and encouraged her to become a nurse instead.
For comfort Aderin-Pocock turned to television programmes such as Clangers and Star Trek, and was drawn to characters like Spock, a human-Vulcan caught between two opposing worlds.
"Growing up in London at that time, I was a black kid in a mainly white area and I often got teased," says Aderin-Pocock. "Although I had never been to Nigeria, I was scared that if I said 'I'm British' the other kids would say, 'No, you're not. You're black, you're not from here.' That led me to feeling a bit lost, like I did not belong here or there. That's why space was brilliant: space was all-encompassing.
"If you look at the earth from space, you don't see the divisions," adds Aderin-Pocock. "Space almost unifies the earth, because when you look at the earth remotely, you get the feeling that we're one. Down here it often doesn't feel that way."
Aderin-Pocock credits her family, especially her father, for giving her the confidence to pursue science. He came to the UK with aspirations of becoming a doctor but circumstances never allowed it and he took a job making pizza dough for a PizzaExpress restaurant on Arlington Road. Encouraged by her father, Aderin-Pocock excelled at school and earned her doctorate in mechanical engineering at London's Imperial College.
Over the years Aderin-Pocock has had a varied career, from designing handheld landmine detectors for the Ministry of Defence to working on the Gemini telescope in Chile and building an instrument that probes the heart of stars. These days she is determined to get more children involved in science, a profession that is still dominated by men in both the UK and the US.
"There aren't enough people going into science, especially girls," says Aderin-Pocock. "The structure of the UK is changing. We used to be a manufacturing society, but most manufacturing can be done elsewhere and more cheaply. We've become a knowledge economy but to have that, we need to have people coming through with ideas. It's a matter of getting science out there and showing the difference we can make in people's lives."
After finishing tea we walk into the garden, which is planted with sage and raspberry canes. Lauren, dressed in pyjamas, trails behind with a bowl for collecting fruit. Aderin-Pocock takes a seat near the apple tree and looks towards the house. "I'm quite a restless spirit and I find it hard to be static," she says. "But I love this house, the structure of it, its traditional layout, and that it was built to last."
Considering Aderin-Pocock's tumultuous childhood and, indeed, her lifelong passion for outer space – a void without definitive boundaries – it is hardly surprising that what she appreciates most about her home is its sturdiness. And her motherly image, which she promotes by taking her daughter to every public performance, including up on stage at a recent talk at the Royal Albert Hall, is perhaps her way of grounding what has been a complicated and unusual life.
More than 40 years since discovering her love of outer space, Aderin-Pocock is still determined to travel to Mars. "I don't know if I'll ever get there but the fact that I have that aspiration means that I have achieved so much more than I ever would otherwise," she says. "You've got to find your dream and then do it. It could be hard work. Trust me: being a space scientist with dyslexia is hard work."
Favourite thing
"It's a bit bizarre but it makes me smile every time I see it," says Aderin-Pocock, pointing to a map in the kitchen. "It is a record of my daughter's travels. She accompanies me everywhere and has made just under 50 flights to date. As a space scientist I want to travel into space, but I want to have a good look at the earth first."

Earlier this morning, Scott Lowe posed the following question: What if hypervisors shared a file system? The concept here is that most hypervisors (notably VMware and [soon] Hyper-V) have a clustered file system that is used to extend the capabilities of a group of hypervisors into such things as dynamic resource sharing, failover/failback, HA, etc. The natural extention of this, when looked at from a longitudinal viewpoint, is extending the same basic model into the cloud.

Likes: Very convenient, keeps everything together and is lightweight and compact.
Dislikes: My spice shaker cap was broken on arrival..

There's plenty of room in the pouch to fit in a couple more spice shakers and oil bottles to switch up your meals a bit. This also fits nicely in the GSI Outdoors Bugaboo Backpacker Cook System pouch as well!
Dislikes: It's not really a "dislike", but you might as well throw in the little collapsable whisk as well! That would pretty much complete the kit!
Likes: This utensil kit is compact and sturdy. The quality is much better than I expected

Last year, sports writers were licking their chops at a young pitcher named Zach Greinke.
Said Rob Neyer in a June 4, 2004 column, "I don't know that we've ever seen a 20-year old pitcher quite like Greinke. … This kid's the real thing, the best young Royals pitcher since Kevin Appier, and maybe a lot better than that."
The reason Neyer and many other sportswriters loved Greinke was his range of velocity. He throws five pitches, including two different kinds of curveballs. His fastball can get up to about 93 mph, and one of his curveballs will dance over the plate at a lazy 63 mph. And he'll hit every speed in between.
His rookie season was about as commendable as you can get for a 20-year-old phenom: 8-11, 3.97 ERA. But this year, Greinke didn't just fall victim to the sophomore slump, he deserves to have it named after him.
He's started 18 games. His team has only won three of them. And Greinke has only won one of those.
He's 1-11, and his ERA Atkinsed up to 6.20. Don't ask him about Rick Ankiel anytime soon.
But we can't write off a 21-year-old in his career.
Still, Greinke may become the first person to lose 20 games in a season since Mike Maroth lost 21 in 2003.
Maroth was only 25 when he endured a torrential season for the '03 Tigers. But in that same year, 20-year-old Jeremy Bonderman also lost 19 games his rookie season.
Look at Bonderman now: 11-5, 3.99 ERA. Some said he was a favorite to be the Tigers' representative in the All-Star game.
Greinke has nothing to fear. The losses will come because he's pitching for a Royals team that is dead last in runs scored.
The numbers probably wouldn't look so bad because the Royals are winning just 34 percent of their games. However, they only win 17 percent of Grienke's games, and his personal win-loss percentage is half that.
But the personal numbers don't look too good.
In 50 fewer innings than last year, Greinke already has as many walks as he did last year (28) and has already given up three more earned runs yet has struck out 42 fewer batters. To his credit, however, he does have 2 complete games this year — something he didn't do in '04.
And the kid's a stick. He stands at 6'2, yet according to his ESPN.com Player Card he weighs only 175 pounds. He obviously needs to put on a few (but not to the C.C. Sabathia extreme) before he looks — and pitches — like a 15-game winner.
Edited: bhw
EDIT: fixed graf about percentage about the Royals winning in Greinke's starts. I suck at life.Powered by Sidelines

A trip to Westminster Abbey has risen in the last year from pounds 3 to pounds 4. Entrance fees for the Tower of London have in-creased by 19 per cent and now cost pounds 7.95 per adult and pounds 21.95 for a family.
A visit to Hampton Court will cost 8 per cent more than last year and English Heritage sites have gone up by 5 per cent.
Patricia Yates, editor of Holiday Which, published by the Consumers' Association, said: 'Such increases, at several times the rate of inflation, are now putting national heritage out of bounds for the great number of visitors, particularly families.
'The pricing seems to be aimed at the once in a lifetime tourist market; 80 per cent of visitors to the Tower, for example, come from overseas.
'Tourist attractions or not, there's simply no reason why anyone should be deprived of the chance to enjoy our national treasures because of high prices.'
Historic Royal Palaces, which runs the Tower of London and Hampton Court, say that higher entry fees are required to pay for restoration work and refurbishment.

"We have to figure out how we defend. It doesn't matter if you have five bad defenders, as a team you can accomplish a lot. That's where we have to get a whole lot better."
"It's not just about the defenders because we must defend well as a team starting with the frontrunners and make sure that in the midfield things are tighter."
"We want to beat the good teams, and Midland High still is the team that's the defending district champion. We know these other teams and they know us. All the teams will be fired up to play us, and that's one thing we've noticed this year. Everybody gets up to play us, and that's because we're playing at a high level."
"It's tough to defend just one player on that team. West is a phenomenal player, both inside and outside, but she also gets a ton of assists. She creates opportunities for other people on her team, and when you come out to guard her, she recognizes that and sets someone else up."
"It's always nice going into a game knowing you've got (to defend) one of the better players on the team. It gets you a little extra motivated before the game, definitely."
"There's obviously individuals on our team who aren't the best defenders, me being one of them. One-on-one, if I'm playing against somebody, they are going to score on me often. But I have great teammates who play good help-side defense."

Diddy is being sued for $1 trillion.
Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks has filed a lawsuit against the hip-hop superstar accusing him of being behind the 2001 September 11 terrorist attacks in New York and stealing a poker chip from her that was worth "100 zillions of dollars".
The woman also claims she and Diddy - real name Sean Combs - once dated and the 41-year-old star is the father of her 23-year-old son so wants $900 billion in child support while "loss of income" makes up the other $100 billion.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Valerie accuses Diddy of sexually assaulting her children and breaking one of her child's legs.
While a Los Angeles judge denied her request for a restraining order against Diddy, he did set a hearing for Monday (31.01.11).
This is not the first time Diddy has faced legal action in recent months.
Last September, he was sued for $12 million for age discrimination by Francesca Spero, who alleged she was sacked by his firm Bad Boy for being old and disabled, after she was laid up with hip surgery in 2008.
According to the 51 year old's legal claim, Diddy was "unsympathetic to her condition" and tried to push her out of the company.

20 Great Ways To Use Cell Phones In Coaching

For the first time, Collegiate Baseball is exploring many of the technological advantages coaches can gain with smartphones.

Schreiber Discovers Breakthrough Technique
One of the most creative uses of cell phones is being utilized at Alvin Community College. Jason Schreiber, assistant baseball coach at Alvin Community College (Alvin, Tex.), listened intently to a lecturer speak at a convention.
"That person said that we retain 10 percent of what we hear, 50 percent of what we do and 90 percent of what we teach someone else," said Schreiber.
"A light went on in my head when I heard that. I was fascinated with the 90 percent figure. I wondered if my players might be able to teach me about certain baseball concepts they were having trouble with on the field which would allow them to learn concepts more efficiently. The big problem was that there was not enough time in practice to have my guys teach.
"Then it hit me that my guys could teach me concepts they were having trouble with via the video capability on their cell phones. Every kid has a cell phone with video capability.
"What I discovered was remarkable. Not only did I know for certain my players understood what we were teaching through these videos they made. I learned kids today take great pride in the videos they produce — so much so a player's sense of urgency goes up dramatically when you have them teach a skill they do not perform well. Often the result is that player finally understands the concept and performs better on the field."

Iowa Western's Incredible Coaching Wizard
One of the most incredible stories in college baseball history is unfolding at Iowa Western Community College.
Located in Council Bluffs, Iowa near Omaha, this school has accomplished what many thought was impossible — three NJCAA Division I national championships over the last five seasons all under an amazing coach named Marc Rardin.
In the 57-year-history of the NJCAA World Series, Iowa Western is the only Iowa junior college ever to win this prestigious event and the first Northern District representative to win it all.
In 12 seasons at Iowa Western, Rardin has led the Reivers to eight NJCAA World Series, won 10 consecutive regional titles and eight Northern District titles. Consider the tremendous challenges his teams face every season.
Many high profile NJCAA Division I baseball programs offer 24 full ride scholarships for baseball. His program has the equivalent of 10 full rides.
No player in the last 12 years has been given a full ride, and typically he gives out 1/2 scholarships to his athletes. All outdoor activity stops for 3-plus months from mid-November through February as practices take place indoors because of bone chilling weather.

SPECIAL REPORT: Cardinals' Potent Running Game
The University of Louisville has put up staggering stolen base numbers over the past eight years under Head Coach Dan McDonnell.
During the past two seasons, the Cardinals have stolen 150 bases (second nationally) in 2013 and 133 in 2014 (second nationally). In his first year with Louisville in 2007, his ball club swiped 153 bases (second nationally).
In six of the eight years, his teams have pilfered at least 89 bases. His tough-minded teams also refuse to allow pitchers to throw inside as his batters have been hit 100 or more times in five of the eight years and ranked first nationally in 2013 with 129 hit by pitches, second in 2012 with 115 HBP and sixth last season with 109 HBP.
Having more men on base and stealing efficiently allows his teams to have more runners in scoring position which has allowed Louisville to score over 400 runs seven of the eight years he has been with the Cardinals.

U.C. Irvine's Gillespie Explains How To Stop Stealers
With the home run becoming increasingly rare in college baseball, the running game on offense is more important than ever.
In 2010, the year prior to BBCOR bats being mandated for use by college programs, NCAA Division I programs averaged 0.94 home runs per game, according to the annual statistics' trends compiled by the Association.
In 2011, that average dropped nearly in half to 0.52 with the new bats in use. The last two years, Division I teams have averaged 0.42 home runs per game in 2013 and 0.39 in 2014 — the lowest home run numbers in over 40 years.
Programs which are adept at stopping the running game of opponents have a big advantage when it comes to winning in today's game.
Few coaches in college baseball have the track record that U.C. Irvine Head Coach Mike Gillespie has when it comes to shutting down base stealers.

Set, In mathematics and logic, any collection of objects (elements), which may be mathematical (e.g., numbers, functions) or not. The intuitive idea of a set is probably even older than that of number. Members of a herd of animals, for example, could be matched with stones in a sack without members of either set actually being counted. The notion extends into the infinite. For example, the set of integers from 1 to 100 is finite, whereas the set of all integers is infinite. A set is commonly represented as a list of all its members enclosed in braces. A set ...
