According to a new pilot study, published in IOP Publishing's Journal of Breath Research, there are six markers in the breath that could be candidates for use as indicators of stress. The researchers hope that findings such as these could lead to a quick, simple and non-invasive test for measuring stress; however, the study, which involved just 22 subjects, would need to be scaled-up to include more people, over a wider range of ages and in more "normal" settings, before any concrete conclusions can be made, they state. Lead-author of the study, Professor Paul Thomas, said: "If we can measure stress objectively in a non-invasive way, then it may benefit patients and vulnerable people in long-term care who find it difficult to disclose stress responses to their carers, such as those suffering from Alzheimer's." How the study was done The study, undertaken by researchers at Loughborough University and Imperial College London, involved 22 young adults (10 male and 12 female) who each took part in two sessions: in the first, they were asked to sit comfortably and listen to non-stressful music; in the second, they were asked to perform a common mental arithmetic test that has been designed to induce stress. A breath test was taken before and after each session, whilst heart-rates and blood pressures were recorded throughout. The breath samples were examined using a technique known as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and then statistically analysed and compared to a library of compounds. Two compounds in the breath – 2-methyl, pentadecane and indole – increased following the stress exercise which, if confirmed, the researchers believe could form the basis of a rapid test. A further four compounds were shown to decrease with stress, which could be due to changes in breathing patterns. Breath profiling "What is clear from this study is that we were not able to discount stress. It seems sensible and prudent to test this work with more people over a range of ages in more normal settings. "We will need to think carefully about experimental design in order to explore this potential relationship further as there are ethical issues to consider when deliberately placing volunteers under stress. Any follow up study would need to be led by experts in stress," Professor Thomas continued. Breath profiling has become an attractive diagnostic method for clinicians, and recently researchers have found biomarkers associated with tuberculosis, multiple cancers, pulmonary disease and asthma. It is still unclear how to best manage external factors, such as diet, environment and exercise, which can affect a person's breath sample. "It is possible that stress markers in the breath could mask or confound other key compounds that are used to diagnose a certain disease or condition, so it is important that these are accounted for," said Professor Thomas. The researcher's initial assumptions are that stressed people breathe faster and have increased pulse rates and an elevated blood-pressure, which is likely to change their breath profile. They emphasise, however, that it is too soon to postulate the biological origins and the roles of the compounds as part of a stress-sensitive response.

Data on 1,020 metformin-treated type 2 diabetes patients revealed those who took canagliflozin attained lower fasting plasma glucose and showed greater improvements in glycemic control, body weight and blood pressure at 52 weeks than those who either took sitagliptin or placebo followed by sitagliptin. However, canagliflozin was linked to higher rates of genital mycotic infections and adverse events related to osmotic diuresis compared with the other treatments, researchers reported at the 73rd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association.

Assuming UR keep releasing one new clan per year, there's probably gonna be a new one this spring/summer. What do you think their new ability is gonna be? My top picks are:
1. Protection: Power and damage. There's been a lot of new Protection: cards lately and I believe this is to make cards like Uranus, Graksmxxt, Spyke, Robb Cr and Caelus Cr less overpowered. Having it as a bonus instead of an ability would also make it difficult for Toro and Rolph users.
2. Copy: Bonus. This is often a good alternative to SOB that doesn't get too overpowered. I highly doubt Copy: Ability will ever become a bonus (just imagine copying SkrumxxT).
3. -6 Opp. damage min 4 (or something similar). Yeah this is kinda unconventional but I think it's possible. You'd have to rely on poison, +life and -life abilities to beat this clan. Perhaps a way to popularize Freaks?
4. Heal 2 max 11. Pretty much an opposite to Freaks.
– I want to know what bonuses you think are LIKELY, and not which ones you wish for. –
Second thought could you immagine the glove from super smash brothers and on his last evolution have glitter like MJ's glove and be an 8/8 ability -3 power min 6 XD
Well, I would like to point out that I logged on to my PC to play (normally play from the iphone), and I've noticed that the backgrounds seem to be frozen.
I would believe this gives us a clue as to the new clan. Eskimos? Yetis?
It's gonna be an ice clan!

... and unique experience which also strengthened my believe in a long term tourism potential for Venezuela which has so much to offer and is so little explored by travelers. Before heading to Colombia I took a flight via Caracas to Barcelona to meet again with Natacha, my friend from Barcelona and Audrey and Cyrril, the owners of the posada in Santa Fe. After catching up with those fantastic people and exploring opportunities to buy a beach house for 12k Euros, I was ready to leave for ...
No surprise I was up for sunrise, but our lot was planning a 7am departure anyway. Headed off to a nearby river mouth to see more wildlife – masses more hawks, especially ospreys and herons breakfasting on fish, plus a red breasted kingfisher. Also stopped for a dip where the water was clear – the palafitos bogs empty straight into the lake, plus it is quite polluted from all the boat traffic and ...

I talked to one of the military there - one of the two young men who were working to an older woman in charge. No problem talking to me, happy working there, asked what the military did in England (Olympic security, Iraq, Afghanistan), thought he�d be in the army a year or so before looking for something else, happy, he�s from another town in the same state.

The work he was very proud of was with the National Guard, where he helped to give a socialist ethic to place the National Guard (police) as protectors and helpers of all and especially in the poorest areas.

... to lose any momentum they have gained on downhill stretches so their technique for sharp, blind corners with huge cliffs beside them was to drive into them at full speed (often on the wrong side of the narrow road) with one hand on the horn. Somewhat scary. Anyway, 3 or 4 hours over the mountain pass, 1 break down, 1 flat tire and several near fatal accidents later we pulled into Puerto Columbia and found ourselves possibly the kitschest little hotel in the world. ...

Fun Food: What's Red and Green and Delicious?
My sister texted me a picture of her brunch last weekend—eggs Benedict with tomato and spinach. "Christmas food!" she wrote. And she was right. Somehow, the natural green and red turned the year round dish into something with holiday flair. So I set out to find other foods that are (almost) naturally red and green. (Except for this red and green velvet cake, which was just too cool not to share.) Eat red and green and be merry!

Marketing at TUM
Marketing is essential for organic growth of firms - it creates, communicates, and sustains value for businesses. Understanding and addressing needs of customers is critical to build and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. This importance is also reflected in Peter F. Drucker's famous quote: "Because it is the purpose to create and maintain a customer, any business enterprise has two basic functions: marketing and innovation."
In our research we focus on understanding new phenomena in the field of marketing that are driven by changes in technology and in society. Apart from theoretical implications, our findings should have implications for decision-makers - managers, consumers, and other stakeholders. We are also open to collaboration with companies in order to push forward theoretical and practical knowledge in the field.

Being skint at university is all part of the student image. It's bohemian, it's smelly, it's grimy and it's cool. It's not hard to come across groups of students competing on who's got the lowest bank balance.
The skint image is alright for a few months, but sooner or later it's going to get to you; particularly when the rosy-cheeked exchange student next door runs downstairs to welcome a Ocado van, full of French cheese and fresh pasta, all paid for on their mum's credit card, while you swallow down a tin of supermarket own baked beans for the fifth time that week.
You may begin to ask yourself, "Should I break away from the cool crowd and get myself a job?" The truth is, having no money and eating rubbish food for prolonged periods of time is actually quite depressing. A part-time job can work really well with some degree disciplines, where you canhave as little as two hours teaching time per week.
Your university website is a good place to start looking for a job, as they usually have apage dedicated to classifieds for part-time jobs that would be suitable for a student. There will also be noticeboards around campus, a careers service, and some will have job fairs.
And even for jam-packed degree subjects, there are ways of making money; you just have to be creative about how you do it. The convenience factor will come into play when looking for a job, and as a fresher, your campus bar may seem very appealing. Most universities pay their staff quite well, and you can expect a bit more than minimum wage.
But Tom Spindler, 23, from Leeds University has a warning. He worked in his union during his first year at university: "Serving your friends up drinks all night is not as great as it sounds.
They all want to be served first, and they always want it for free! I eventually got sick of serving up snakebite instead of drinking it." But most bars, clubs, cafés and shops will welcome students to come and work for them, and pride themselves on offering flexible working hours.
Walking around the town centre of your university, you'll see adverts in shop windows showing vacancies. Word of mouth is also definitely a good way to hear about flexible jobs suitable for students. Be warned, however, that some workplaces may pressure you to work more hours than you had originally intended.
Ollie Marsh, 25, from York University ended up working full-time in the kitchen of a pub for his entire second year. "The managers would rota us down for loads of shifts and would be really unwilling to make changes," he says. "I used to feel completely obliged, and my university work definitely suffered. I had to work twice as hard in my final year to make up for it."
Everyone can have a different experience with part time jobs, but the key for the university student is to ensure that your employer is flexible. This will make your life much easier, when it comes to the start of a new term and all of your lecture times have changed, when your dissertation is due the next day, or when a party that you absolutely cannot miss falls on a shift day.
Another thing to think about is doing something for your career. Sally Burrows, 20 from Manchester University has recently signed up to a childcare agency, where she gets contracted out to different schools and nurseries in the area. "I'm lucky in that I know I want to go into child psychology after uni," she says. "The job is great because it's flexible; I can increase or decrease my hours depending on my availability. It's also really rewarding and I know it will look good on my CV." She found out about the job on her university's job page for students.
You also have to be creative within your situation. Alice Swan, 21, from Nottingham University lives with the landlord's son. She cleans the house every Wednesday and the landlord pays her £40 for it. Tim Fitzgerald, 21, from York University can make £50 in two hours busking on his violin in the touristy areas.
You can also use your talents to create potential money for yourself. Make jewellery and sell it to local shops, set up an orange juice stall on campus, design a club night, sell your paintings, set yourself up to take photos at weddings, run a dance class, teach swimming lessons, do some freelance writing for publications, or write a book for Mills & Boon.
There are so many options and you just have to find what's right for you, and don't worry if you haven't yet discovered your talent there's always the less exciting but ever-reliable university careers service.Reuse content

Welcome to our main directory of free crochet edging patterns, which also includes patterns for trims, borders, and other edges. Whether you need edgings for clothing, linens, pillowcases, baby blankets, afghans, scarves, or other projects, you'll find plenty of options to choose from.
With this set of patterns, you can learn how to crochet a variety of different types of edgings - from vintage to contemporary, in a wide range of techniques and styles.
01 of 21
Shell stitch is a terrific choice for crochet edging. There are many different ways to crochet shell stitch and all of them will work well for the border of a blanket, a pillow case, or really just about any item at all. This is a very simple, straightforward classic version of the shell stitch used as an edging.
02 of 21
Shell Stitch Edging - Holiday Version
No matter which holidays you celebrate, or don't celebrate, this color-themed edging pattern will come in handy. Work it in the classic red and green for Christmas, trade that for blue and white for Chanukah, or mix it up and use different colors for seasonal patterns throughout the year.
03 of 21
This simple, but interesting, edging pattern evokes powerful images of world travel and architecture, among other things. It is not only beautiful but is also interesting to crochet. It is easy but unique.
04 of 21
This edging features lacy v stitches and crochet picots. The pattern includes instructions for turning corners, which makes it handy for finishing blankets and other projects that are rectangular or square shaped. It was originally designed as a baby blanket edging but works for a wide range of other projects as well.Continue to 5 of 21 below.
05 of 21
This edging utilizes half double crochet stitches along with shell stitch. The pattern includes corner instructions, which makes it appropriate for use on baby blankets, afghans, throws, pillows, linens, placemats, potholders, dishcloths and any other rectangular or square project you can think of. You can also use it without the corner for edging sheets, pillowcases, towels or other items that need a simple finish. It is another example of a good use of shell stitch for borders.
06 of 21
This edging pattern is one of the simplest designs since it is just single crochet stitch. It's so easy that many of you won't need a pattern at all.
Despite the simplicity of this edging, or perhaps because of the simplicity, this is a pattern that that can be used over and over. It works especially well for blankets (and other items) that are super colorful, very textured or otherwise "busy" because it is a simple, polished finish for the piece.
07 of 21
This scalloped lace edging includes a corner and is suitable for use on blankets, afghans, linens, pillows, and any other square or rectangular project.
This edging can be finished with either ribbon or yarn; both sorts of embellishments are optional, and they can be omitted. When used, they offer a fancy touch that can be wonderful on special items.
08 of 21
Take an inexpensive everyday towel and add a crochet edging to it to make it something special. This project is a fantastic example of how crocheted edgings make plain linens look so much more finished and attractive. This is a really quick and affordable project that you can bookmark for gift making, whether at holiday time or throughout the year.Continue to 9 of 21 below.
09 of 21
This lace trim features beautiful but simple heart designs in an alternating pattern. The trim is ideal for applying to sheets, pillowcases or anywhere you need a straight edge without a corner -- perhaps you could even use it across the top of a blanket or across the bottom of a curtain.
This pretty lace design is crocheted using the filet crochet technique. The pattern is charted, and the chart tiles seamlessly, allowing you to crochet as much or as little of the design as you happen to need.
Cli...ck here to get the heart chart for crocheting the lace trim.
10 of 21
This simple edging utilizes treble crochet stitches, single crochet, and surface crochet slip stitches. This pattern includes corner instructions. In many ways, it is a basic crochet shell stitch pattern but the little details make it slightly more special, especially when worked in two complementary colors as shown.
11 of 21
This scalloped trim is just about as easy as it gets, but it's also interesting to crochet. The turning chains create scalloped edges. When you're finished crocheting, add a bit of ribbon to complete the design. The trim can be made exactly the right size for any small project and will give it a truly special touch.
12 of 21
This edging works perfectly with a cotton dishcloth design but could be adapted for other purposes. If you need an edging with a corner, be sure to take a look and see if this edging could suit the project you have in mind. Remember that you can use different yarn or crochet thread for working the edging as needed for the project.Continue to 13 of 21 below.

Checkerboard patterns can have any kind of trim and often have something simple like the single crochet edging mentioned above. But if you want to make something more dazzling for the eye, try adding a checkered pattern to the edging as well. Of course, this checkered pattern could also be a special touch to an otherwise plain blanket. Have fun playing with this one!

Bat Wing Soup
Quick look
- prep 10 min cook 15 min
- serves 6
Convenient stewed tomatoes are the base for this spooky soup that gets extra richness from cream added minutes before serving. It's nicely flavored with garlic (to keep those vampires away!) and garnished with toasty bat wings. (They are a snap to cut out of white bread — see instructions below.)
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) stewed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 6 slices bread, crusts removed
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1
In a saucepan, sauté garlic in oil until tender. In a blender or food processor, process garlic and tomatoes in batches until smooth. Return all to the pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Add cream and heat through.
- 2
To make bat wings, remove crusts from bread. Flatten with a rolling pin. Using a kitchen shears, cut each slice in half diagonally, cutting wavy lines to resemble bat wings. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread with butter; sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake at 400°F for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Add two wings to each bowl of soup. Serve immediately.

my initial consult was very detailed . DR P did a thorough explanation of my surgery with my implants under the muscle. They also showed me the sample implants so i could feel them and imagine them on my body. his post off nursing staff explained in details what i would need to do prior to surgery . His staff also made sure i was comfortable with all details of arrival and post op care. They took my blood and did a complete check of my vitals . DR WHITE explained his role in my surgery / Anethesia . DR WHITE was so kind and detailed . He did a thorough review of my medical history and talked to me about the importance of Anethesia and my comfort . The surgical team was amazing . Not once did i feel any concern. I was assigned my own private nurse in recovery . I was so surprised to see my surgical bra was actually pretty and comfortable. I went home relaxed and slept peacefully. That night the head nurse called to make sure i was resting and comfortable.

Wealth Mobility
This paper examines the wealth mobility of a panel of mature American men between 1966 and 1981. Although greater persistence exists than within the income distribution, a sizeable degree of movement within the wealth distribution is observed. Slightly more than half of the households changed quintiles. However, the magnitude of the movement was modest, with 78% of the moves to an adjacent quintile. Movements into either extreme of the wealth distribution were relatively rare. Really big moves, from the poorest to richest group, were extremely rare, with the probability of a black making such a move within fifteen years approximately zero. © 2001 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

FDA Approves Roche EGFR Mutation CDx for NSCLC
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this week approved Roche Molecular Systems' cobas® EGFR Mutation Test as a companion diagnostic for erlotinib (Tarceva), the cancer drug it also approved for the first-line treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients whose tumors show EFGR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 substitution mutations.
The agency said it based these approvals on the results of a randomized, multicenter, open-label trial comparing erlotinib to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in patients with metastatic NSCLC whose tumors showed EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 (L858R) substitution mutations.
FDA noted that Roche's cobas is the first companion diagnostic it has approved to detect gene mutation associated with a type of lung cancer, adding that EGFR mutations are exhibitied in about 10% of NSCLC cases.
"The approval of the cobas EGFR Mutation Test will allow physicians to identify non-small cell lung cancer patients who are candidates for receiving Tarceva as first-line therapy," said FDA's Alberto Gutierrez, Ph.D., director of the Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health, in a statement. "Companion diagnostics play an important role in determining which therapies are the safest and most effective for a particular patient."
Tarceva, which is co-marketed by Genentech, received initial FDA approval in November 2004 for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC after failure of at least one prior chemotherapy regimen, the agency said.

Servicers Need Full Toolbox to Improve Loan Mod Success Rate
Many believe that the only way to improve the high re-default rate on modified loans - said to be more than half in some cases - is to reduce the principal for borrowers.
In recent weeks, the federal government has taken steps that indicate it may now be willing to allow residential mortgage servicers more autonomy in offering mortgage modification options to borrowers. If that's so, we can hope for a significant increase in the success rate for modified loans.
The U.S. government has said it would lend as much money as necessary to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to keep them solvent. This virtually unlimited government support for the GSEs may presage changes to the Obama Administration's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), including allowing servicers to reduce borrowers' principal balances. Indeed, FHA also has said it would allow servicers more latitude to assist borrowers who are running into financial problems but have not yet missed a payment. Under the new policy, servicers can offer distressed borrowers forbearance or even a reduction in principal under the FHA-HAMP program; previously, a homeowner had to miss several payments before servicers could consider these options. The FHA-HAMP program will now let servicers reduce the principal amount of an FHA-insured mortgage by up to 30 percent.
Currently, the HAMP program allows the GSEs to forbear, or defer, a portion of principal until the loan is paid off and to waive interest on the deferred amount, but it does not allow for principal reduction. But many believe that the only way to improve the high re-default rate on modified loans - said to be more than half in some cases - is to reduce the principal for borrowers, particularly those with negative equity. Indeed, modifications where servicers have reduced principal have among the lowest re-default rates in the industry.
Many of the largest servicers have already been granting significant principal reductions on loans held in their own portfolios. And these modified loans have performed better than those serviced for the GSEs. The reason: portfolio lenders have more flexibility in offering principal reductions.
According to a report by the OCC and the OTS, portfolio lenders reduced principal for more than 17,000 borrowers in the third quarter of 2009. By contrast, Fannie and Freddie combined did less than 150.
Not only have portfolio lenders reduced principal amounts on more loans than the GSEs have, but the relative performance of these loans is much better at the portfolio lenders. Portfolio lenders had re-default rates of 12 percent after three months and 25 percent after six months, compared with Fannie's re-default rate of 27 percent after three months and 44 percent after six months, according to the OCC-OTS report. Something new needs to be done Clearly, the standard treatments have been tried and they haven't worked. Something new needs to be done. For starters, it may be time to accept a basic truth, that it may be more appropriate for a borrower not to keep their mortgage debt - yes, even under modified conditions. In a large number of cases, short sales may be more appropriate than any other remedy.
Distressed mortgages represent an interesting and exciting opportunity - and a huge one - for servicers of troubled assets in the coming years. Clearly the need for servicing these assets is overwhelming, given the record number of delinquencies and foreclosures. But servicers must be given the ability to use all the options at their disposal if more mortgage modifications are going to work.
The mortgage servicing industry was built for a performing environment, from technology issues to even the way workflow is allocated, where you streamline processes the best you can. But delinquencies and foreclosures have never been as widespread as they are now. Therefore, the current environment has been an overwhelming challenge for the servicing industry.
The sheer volume of modifications on this current level is still very much a new experience for most loan-servicing companies that report people with a wide variety of backgrounds - from rental-car service representatives to former chief executives of small mortgage brokerages that went under - are applying for these jobs. Many of these new collectors, however, "don't understand all the programs, so there is a lot of slippage in that area," says Duwaine Thomas, director servicing management, Fannie Mae, adding: "It's trench warfare out there."
Distressed assets, as a percentage of all the mortgages we service, represent more than half of our business.
Where servicers have fixed revenues, like when servicing GSE loans, cost-savings become more important. It's understandable why they work the way they do given their size, scale and the types of portfolios they have. Focus on the best outcome However, where the issue is "let's explore the best possible workout for this loan," you focus on the best outcome. When you're dealing with severely distressed assets, the approach has to be dramatically different.
For example, the HAMP program would be more successful - for borrowers, investors, servicers, and the government - if servicers were given greater flexibility to reach the goals that the government wants to accomplish.
For instance, the government wants the borrower in a modified mortgage to have a 31 percent debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. There are several ways to get to that 31 percent DTI, including an interest rate reduction, principal forbearance, and principal forgiveness. Right now, servicers must try the other methods first before they can contemplate principal forgiveness. Owners of the loans have been very reluctant to grant forgiveness since it means taking a loss on their investments.
If a 31 percent DTI ratio is the goal, let the industry figure out which of those approaches makes the most sense. Let the servicer choose which combination of those approaches is going to get to that DTI target.

Civil Engineering
Civil engineering was developed as a discipline around the middle of the 18th century. John Smeaton was the first person to actually call himself a "Civil Engineer". He formed the Smeatonian Society the forerunner of the first engineering society, the Institution of Civil Engineers in England. The term " Civil " was used to describe engineering works which were not exclusively military in nature and included the design and building of a range of structures such as roads and bridges, canals, railways, tunnels, water supplies and sewers. The first charter of the Institute of Civil Engineering read as follows: "the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man, as the means of production and of traffic in states, both for external and internal trade, as applied in the construction of roads, bridges, aqueducts, canals, river navigation and docks for internal intercourse and exchange, and in the construction of ports, harbours, moles, breakwaters and lighthouses, and in the art of navigation by artificial power for the purposes of commerce, and in the construction and adaptation of machinery, and in the drainage of cities and towns."

I was wondering if the card readers in the X5 will have some future proofing, and be able to work with cards of larger capacities. That is as they come available. The Ibasso DX50 is believed to offer that feature. But a double reader with that feature would be double the benefit.
Not really.
Okay, it is a bit more complicated so bear with me here. SDXC comes in two standards: the current one we are using is the 3.0 version that also define SDHC. With 3.0 standard, SDHC and SDXC have the same pins configuration and power requirement. The difference is, SDHC uses FAT32 for formatting while SDXC uses exFAT. However, FAT32 supports up to 2TB, same as exFAT, so you can format a SDXC card with FAT32 and the SD reader itself should not know the difference. However, exFAT is a Microsoft thing so if you plug a FAT32 formatted SDXC card into a Windows PC, it will always ask you to reformat it back to exFAT - this is Microsoft way of trying to trick people to stick to exFAT. With a compatible card reader however (like the one inside X3), even a Windows PC will allow read/write on FAT32 formatted SDXC card. So in theory, X3 should support up to 2TB of SDXC card, right? Well, not so fast.
At current stage, the reading/writing speed of v3 standard is enough (SD is max'ed around 256GB while microSD is max'ed around 64GB). But once we move toward 1TB and 2TB, the reading/writing speed will likely not be fast enough. To solve this, the version 4.0 will replace the current version 3 standard. With version 4 card, it will requires extra pins and different power requirement. V4 card reader will be backward compatible to V3 card, but the V4 card will not work on V3 reader. So the simple truth is, though iBasso claims the DX50 is future proof, it really isn't - if the future 2TG SDXC card is V4 standard, neither DX50 or X3 will be able to read it. At this point, no one really know when V4 standard will be used, so claiming future compatibility is mostly just a wishful thinking.

The Microsoft Bogeyman
Nothing got members of the working group more upset and caused the chair to threaten banishment more than complaints about Microsofts involvement in the drafting of the specification. Midway through the process, Microsoft and Meng Wong negotiated a convergence of SPF with Microsofts Caller ID for E-mail specification. While many participants objected to working with Microsoft simply on principle, the biggest objection had to do with intellectual property rights. Microsofts contributions to Sender ID are based on their Caller ID for E-mail specification, and they make unspecified patent claims on this technology. Many participants and outsiders, including free software luminary Richard Stallman, spoke up in objection to the Microsoft license for this technology, which effectively prohibits its inclusion in programs using any major open-source license.For insights on security coverage around the Web, check out eWEEK.com Security Center Editor Larry Seltzers Weblog. The working group has issued a request to Microsoft to clarify its position with respect to its intellectual property claims. Microsoft employees on the working group say they are working on their response, but that it needs the appropriate approvals, which have not yet been completed. Andy Newton, one of two chairs of the IETF MARID working group, says of the licensing issue that "it is the working group that decides if it can abide by the terms of any license for any claimed IPR within any document it wishes to standardize. In short, the working group will decide the issue." Next page: DRIP, CSV, DMP, RMX, FSV, DVP, SPF, DK, C-ID
The IETF has no formal objection to standards based on patented technology, but there is a part of the standardization process that deals specifically with intellectual property issues. Some have observed that the Microsoft patents are probably defensive in nature (against so-called "patent trolls") and asserted that the real threat is not the existence of patents, but a license to that patent that is too restrictive.

Assessing the impact of violence on Aboriginal communities.
After the program went to air, a live online discussion was held with reporter Liz Jackson, producer Virginia Moncrieff and Jane Lloyd, Coordinator, NPY Domestic Violence Service.
Read excerpts of the report, "First Steps" from the WA Health Department on child sexual abuse in indigenous communities. (PDF. 5Mb)

Broadcast: 03/09/2001
Reporter: Liz Jackson
"What's at stake is the survival of Aboriginal people."Aboriginal leader Patrick Dodson directs his warning as much at his own people as at the wider community. He is talking not about reconciliation, Hansonism or native title, but about the epidemic of violence in indigenous communities.This life and death subject was taboo territory for decades. For Aboriginal people, it was a matter of shame. For non-Aboriginal people, it opened up accusations of racism. Now, finally, it is being discussed. Four Corners travels outback Australia to assess the impact of violence on Aboriginal communities and how those communities, governments and key agencies are dealing with it. Reporter Liz Jackson finds Aboriginal women and children have a low premium in a system that offers them little protection but affords leniency to their abusers.Jackson meets victims like Rosemary, a regular at the Halls Creek safe house in the Kimberley. A week ago she sought refuge after her husband bashed her on the head. The next day he broke her arm. Now she's back again.Young Aboriginal men talk to Jackson about their attitudes to women. Is it OK to hit a woman? No, says one man, except..How to tackle the crisis? Some ideas run counter to prevailing opinion: Should violent Aboriginal men be locked away, possibly increasing the risk of deaths in custody? Should the wider community get involved, or is this interfering in Aboriginal self-determination?As Australia begins to debate physical violence against Aboriginal women, there is another, more sensitive issue to be confronted: child sexual abuse. It's a key concern for Aboriginal leaders, with evidence suggesting sexual abuse may be driving high rates of suicide among teenagers.The incidence of child sexual abuse appears to be horrific. Four Corners has obtained previously unpublished data showing unusually high rates of sexually transmitted diseases among Aboriginal children.As a woman elder asks: "Who's going to be our next generation?""For Shame" was first broadcast on ABC TV on Monday September 3, 2001.

Many people tend to think of Miami, Orlando, or Fort Lauderdale when planning a trip to Florida, but those people are missing out on one of the best cities in Florida. Although Jacksonville is best known for golfing or perhaps the Jaguars, this city has much more than just sports. Jacksonville is the biggest city in Florida and the twelfth largest city in the United States. Just south of Georgia, this city is set near the beach and is surrounded by urban parks, and of course, golf courses. More from this guide...
How should we direct your call?
Golfers flock to Jacksonville for many reasons. Golf tourism is a big money-maker for Jacksonville with winters mild enough to encourage golfers all year. People come to watch the PGA Tour and The Players Championship. Northeast Florida offers over 70 private and public golf courses for its visitors and locals to enjoy. If you're not into golf or you don't want to spend every day at the beach, there is still plenty to do in Jacksonville. Consider planning a trip to Adventure Landing or the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. You can also see exotic animals at the Catty Shack Ranch and Wildlife Sanctuary. Jacksonville is also within driving distance to many of the islands off the coast of Southern Georgia, opening up your vacation options drastically.
You can visit Jacksonville any time of the year. During the summer, be ready for 90 degree days that feel hotter because of the humidity. If you come during the summer, you will join hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world with summer being prime beach season. If you want hot, sunny days spent on the beach, then summer is your season, however, book your hotels early since it's a busy time of year for Jacksonville.The shoulder seasons, April to June and September to October, offer the best prices and some of the best weather for this Florida city. Since hotel and plane ticket prices tend to escalate during the summer, you can get a better deal during the late spring and early fall. It is a little riskier weather-wise, but an occasional rain shower doesn't detract from the temperate weather, which hovers between 70 and 80 degrees during these months. If you want to save some money and avoid the crowds, then the shoulder seasons are worth the risk.If you're headed to Florida for the beach, then you may want to stay away from late fall to early spring. During the winter, it does get chilly. While it rarely drops below freezing, the temperatures do get down to the low 40s during the coldest months of winter.There is still plenty to do during the winter months in Jacksonville like visiting one of the many museums; however, beach lovers won't be pleased if they try to plan a trip to Jacksonville during the winter. For those who love sports, art, or music, you can find plenty of indoor activities to enjoy.

Below are reviews of the city of Jacksonville, FL from an actual visitor's perspective.
This hotel is close to the ocean/beach and many restaurants, a grocery store, liquor store and Target!
The beach was fun for our group. We had dinner on the water in downtown Jacksonville. It was great that night.
The city of Jacksonville was wonderful we had a great time. We visited several places and the atmosphere was great. It was about 60 of us visiting the University of Jacksonville for homecoming and family day. My cousins is a football player on the team and we will be back very soon.
The waterfronts were well maintained and appealing.
Jacksonville is a great city and the hotel my group stayed in was downtown on the river so there was plenty to do.
There are plenty of things to explore. I recommend the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.
St. John's Town Center was a great find for our dining and shopping experiences.
Jacksonville beach is very nice.
We liked the downtown area and the whole foods market. Many museums to visit.
Jacksonville has great activities for families.
I enjoyed visiting Jacksonville as it is very close to Big Talbot Island and not too much traffic.
My family had an eventful weekend in Jacksonville. All of the places selected for our reunion were easy to get to, very scenic, and enjoyable all around. The fireworks show that the city sponsored was awesome. Some of my family members are talking about visiting again just to see the amazing fireworks spectacular put on by the city.
Shopping in this city is the best. Every major brand at factory outlet discounted prices. If you love a deal like I do, then this is your place.
The food, shopping and people. Matthews, Metro Diner, and 13 Gypsies were all top notch.
People were so friendly and food at the hotel was outstanding, that Chef needs to receive a reward from the company. Try her meatloaf/garlic potatoes, out of the world.
Jacksonville is a great place to visit. I will be back.

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Repair and Maintenance Costs

Never overpay. Check prices with our estimator
Verified by mechanics, reported by drivers like you
Ask a mechanic in our community
Our experts translate recalls into plain English
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander ProblemsHVAC Temperature Knob Hard to Turn
The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) temperature control knob may be hard to turn. Mitsubishi Motors has released a service bulletin out outlining the necessary repairs. Repairs involve installing a new air blend door lever and link, lubing the blend door track, and installing a filter on top of the blower motor housing to prevent entry of dirt and debris. If the temperature control assembly has been damaged it will require replacement also.
Erratic HVAC blower motor operation may be caused by a failed blower motor and/or blower motor resistor. Our technicians tell us that if the blower motor resistor fails the blower motor should be checked. If the blower motor fails its functional test in should be replaced along with the failed blower motor resistor.
The AC may not blow cold air due to a failed pressure switch. A failed switch will require replacement to restore proper AC operation.
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander QuestionsI only have cold air on drivers side passenger side is warm...reason (1 answer)
Air conditioning was working fine 2 days ago and then all the sudden it just stopped working the blower does not work I can turn it over to heat and I can feel a little warm air coming out of the vent but it's only because it's air being forced in from outside when the window is cracked. ...
the car had been cranking over slower everytime for the past 2 weeks and it finally went out, cant find the starter tho.
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander RecallsWindshield Wipers Stop Working

Give me some space
Its not easy to live a life
That is going at this pace
Cant stand the shadows
Sitting there, watching me
Starring from the side lines
All i want to do is be free
To live a life of my own
Take me away from this curse
Before it turns evil
Before it gets worse
Stop looking at me please
Im about to scream
I cant take it anymore
Please tell me this is a dream
Everywhere i turn i see them
Waiting for me to make my mistakes
But i wont make one, at least i hope
i can hear their hissing as if their snakes
Cant you hear it?
Its loud and clear
Everywhere i turn i hear it
Its a noise i try not to fear
Cant you see it?
Please send help, im going crazy
But how can you save the unsaveable
Hurry and figure it out, my visions going hazy

Again this is very good. One thing though: grammar. Capitalising the word "I" just makes it easier to read, as does the use of apostrophes. Still a good poem though.

The Losh Cause – Predictive text for 2008
By Chris Losh | 10 January 2008
January - a time for expensive skiing holidays and looking forward to the year ahead. In the absence of a salary that permits me to take part in the former, I thought I'd don a shawl, root out the crystal ball, and have a go at the latter.
So, 2008 will be the year when…
…Absolut finally gets sold
At last the protracted business foreplay comes to an end and the Swedish government puts Vin & Sprit up for sale. An unholy bidding war breaks out between Bacardi-Martini, Pernod Ricard and Fortune Brands. The bids increase by the day, and vicious amounts of mud are slung as each company calls in its hard-line PR militias in an effort to persuade the Scandinavians that they are worthy recipients of their legacy.
In the end, disgusted by the spectacle before them, the Swedes sell the vodka to a co-operative of Nordic trout fishermen for NOK2,000, before donating the remaining several hundred brands of aquavit, schnapps and herring-flavoured liqueur to charity.
…Constellation unveils a bold new strategy
There are angry scenes at a shareholders' meeting for the world's biggest wine company as Constellation announces a major shift in policy. "We've decided not to buy anyone this year," a spokesperson announces. "Instead we're going to concentrate all our efforts on selling more of what we already have."
Investment analysts brand the revolutionary approach as unworkable, while wine columnists protest at the irresponsibility of a strategy which threatens to deprive journalists of a prime source of easy copy.
In any event, the new policy only lasts until February when Constellation pays US$2bn for a 2,000-case-a-year family winery in Luxembourg.
"It was just too good a deal to turn down," a board member reveals. "The Elbling grape is going to be huge."
…Rappers turn to Port
Proving that it's not just the mean 'muthaz' in Cognac who have their fingers on the pulse of youth fashion, there is first surprise then delight in the Douro when it turns out that the gangsta rap community is turning to Port.
The craze begins when Jay-Z releases "Brothaz, pass the Taylaz… but only to the left", and soon sees urban clubs from LA to Detroit selling 'sparkling ruby' cocktails of young Port and Cristale.
Busta Rhymes' 'Crusted get me busted, an' tawny make me horny', from his platinum album 'Straight outta Pinhao', wins a Mobo. And the influence of the Port shippers doesn't end there. By the end of the year, gangsta rappers are wearing tweed jackets and bright red corduroy trousers, and saying "My word what a bore!" to each other as they compete in a meaningless sailboat race down the Mississippi.
…SABMiller moves into government
Consolidation in the beer industry moves to a whole new level, as SABMiller puts together an audacious bid for several Eastern European countries. "Of course, we're interested in the brewing potential," the company says, "but the large armies are an added attraction as well."
The bid fails when the various parties are unable to agree a price for the Slovenian state smoked sausage industry.
…'Tap' water takes off
A Californian entrepreneur kickstarts a new craze with his bottled water concept: Tap. Pumped straight from the mains into plain plastic bottles, the brand is billed as 'healthy, hydrating and carbon neutral'.
"We haven't had to ship it anywhere - it just comes from my kitchen, so there's no carbon footprint," says the brand's owner, Randy Squirrel. "Plus it's got chlorine in, so it'll zap any bugs you got."
Tap is lapped up by the skeletal glitterati of LA who see a couple of glasses as a cheap substitute for a meal.
…The Champenois sort out their supply problem
With growing pressure on grapes in north-east France, the Champenois, in a rare display of unanimity, agree to an emergency expansion of the region's vineyards.
"It is only a small increase," says a spokesman for the CIVC. "We have pushed the boundaries out by 200km to the south and 50km to the west. If you consider how big Australia is, it's not so much really."
… Aussie rivers flow Cabernet
Meanwhile in Australia, following another dry summer wine producers hit on an innovative solution to their drought problem: using surplus wine to water their parched vineyards.
"With millions of litres of glut wine sitting in tanks, and the country's rivers at an all-time low, it seemed the obvious solution," says Brett Tooley of Wallaby's Wanger Winery.
However, the move meets opposition from Australian water companies who are worried that the low price of Australian bulk wine could destabilise the marketplace.
