After an assignment/quiz is over it would be nice if all of the students who didn't complete it got a 0 instead of a blank grade. http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=163525

I disagree. I think there is a big difference between not submitting the work, and submitting work but it being so bad it gets graded 0, and so the quiz/assignment should distinguish these two cases - as it does now.
There should be the option, in the gradebook, to treat 'not submitted' as equivalent to 0 for the purposes of computing the course total grade - and this is already possible, using different aggregation methods.
Therefore, I think that this bug should be closed won't-fix.
As described in http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=194659#p848092, the issue is more about user friendliness than capability.
Yes it is possible to set a whole category in the gradebook to aggregate including empty grades. But this causes unwanted consequences.
1. What if that same category contains several offline assignments or manually graded assignments? Students' grades would be very low until the teacher graded it. If the weighting for an ungraded assignment was set to zero until it was graded it might work.
2. However, this means that teachers would have to change the weighting every time a new assignment was given to the students. After recycling a Moodle course I would then have to return the 200-300 assignments to zero weighting...not fun.
3. The issue is further exacerbated if you have different groups with different assignments. We can't control which group and which assignment will/will not count using weighting and aggregation including non-empty grades.
Additionally, with younger students a blaring zero is needed to emphasis that that particular assignment must be done or was missed.
I envision a solution similar to the 'upload a file' assignment with the following options for teachers:
1. If student does not do assignment by due date - give zero
2. Allow for possibility to do assignment after due date with penalty and option to email notification to teacher.
3. To differentiate between a real 0 and a non-attempted 0, student can get feedback - NOT COMPLETED. Perhaps this can even be a user input field like with the grade boundary feedback.
4. Select which groups these conditions will apply to (including the ALL GROUPS option).
Bottom line, as teachers with 100s of students, we rely heavily on the automated feedback that quizzes can give. However, if Moodle doesn't clearly tell these students that they didn't do the assignment, the teacher, once again has to do the chasing.
Please reconsider creating a fix to this problem. It seems to be one of the few issues with Moodle2 that stops me from using quizzes on a daily basis.
I agree with Amir and your solution.
Additionally, I found it very useful in the Assignment module too. Specially that now (in 2.4), we have a third date representing the cut-off of that activity. If student dos not submit that assignment by the cut-off date, grade = 0 and send a feedback indicating "not submitted".
I believe this would be a significant improvement and would reduce the activity correction time for teachers who have hundreds of students.
I think the introduction of the cut-off date and being able to grant extensions makes something like this possible. Perhaps even an option of what should happen to the grade if a student hasn't submitted by the cut-off date - similar to the options we have when a quiz hits the time limit.
Perhaps the following options - if the student has not submitted by the cut-off date..
assign a grade of 0 with feedback - Not submitted
assign a grade of 0
nothing - leaves the grade as a dash
I agree with Tulio. This feature would be extremely beneficial to teachers with hundreds of students who would rather not have the tedious task of manually replacing the dash with a 0 for every non-submitted assignment. And I like Lisa's suggestion that it be an option, especially for those who do not wish to aggregate empty grades.
I have spent a couple of hours trying to set up a scenario in gradebook where students' grades are calculated with the zero automatically by unchecking "aggregate only non empty grades" in full view in categories and items, but that also excludes quizzes and assignments that haven't been made available yet. This is, as far as I can tell, impossible.
The problem here is that the "aggregate only non empty grades" does not take into account assignment date. Even if I hide the assignment I want aggregated as a zero until a specified date, it is calculated as a zero in gradebook. This makes the feature useless for what we are actually asking for in this tracker item.
The easiest solution is to aggregate empty grades as zeroes only after the assignment opening date has passed. This would motivate students to complete quizzes while allowing them to see, as a percentage, where they stand at that point in the year.
Some of my faculty are panicking as our semester draws to a close. They just realized that non-attempts are not being calculated into the final scores, so students are receiving highly-inflated course grades. Many of these faculty wonder why Moodle isn't automatically putting in a 0 for these non-existent quiz attempts.
I understand the checkbox in Full View, but intuitively, I think this should be common behavior on the Quiz itself (and not to change a setting in Full View, which isn't the friendliest place to instructors).
I'm also unsure of the reasoning Tim provided as the dissenting opinion. If a student doesn't do work, its a zero, case closed. This is the same behavior we all experienced in grade school. No assignment at the due date? Sorry, you receive a 0.
Bottom line is that the automatic course score turns out to be very misleading. I think we should revisit this.
I have instructors at my university asking for this feature, too. Otherwise, this is a manual process and prone to human error, especially in a very large course.
I would like to see this change, and I am hearing the same from faculty I support. If a Quiz has a deadline, then there should be an option to register a zero score when the deadline hits, and it should probably be the default behavior. Aggregating empty grades has undesired consequences, as others have already described. I also find that adding zeros manually is a less-than-ideal work-around. When you override grades in the gradebook, they do not report back to the activity, but the grade should be in both places. Forgetting to add zeros will result in effective grade errors. The grade history could reflect the fact that a non-submission is not the same as a submission with no correct answers. I believe that the correct way to ignore these zeros – if that is the desired behavior – would be by dropping some number of lowest grades. It is not necessary to set a closing date when you create a Quiz, but if you have done so, it is probably because the work needs to be submitted by a certain time in order get credit for it.
I would like to add my voice to the well expressed sentiments of Tulio, Lisa, Amir, Kevin – and others explaining why this functionality is so important. I have received the request for "automatic entry of zero for quizzes once the due date has passed" from faculty members – as recently as February 12, 2015.
The new single view https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Single_view in 2.8 will most likely solve this issue for many.
While I do think an automatic 0 would be nice, because the quiz tool can also be used as a learning activity, there may be times an instructor may not want the automatic 0 (although I have yet to think of one).
After discussing this on a conference call with other institutions using Moodle, I tested to see if an assignment activity automatically grades students with 0 points after the cut off date. In my instance of 2.7.11, it does not, not even with workflows set.
But I can see a valid case for instructions to want students who haven't completed quizzes to receive a 0 instead of a blank grade.
Unfortunately it's issues like this one, that go unaddressed even though many users are commenting, which have caused me to wonder if it's time for our district to outsource for a paid LMS. There are great LMS out now, fully formatted for tablets and cell phones with incredible capabilities. Moodle is quickly falling behind as a full-fledged LMS for larger institutions. Of course there are many institutions around the world that can't pay for a LMS but there are even free, albeit limited, systems that could replace Moodle. It is very sad because I love open source and would love to see Moodle be competitive but it seems like Moodle has become very heavy and a directed overhaul is nearly impossible.
I want to voice my support for resolving this issue. Assigning a 0 when a student does not complete a quiz/assignment by the deadline is a very common use case.
I also want to suggest an approach to a solution:
Add an option for the following: If a student has not started any attempts when the deadline is reached, then a new attempt is created for the student and immediately auto-submitted. This will (a) lead to the student having a 0 instead of no grade after the deadline, which addresses this issue, MDL-25620 (https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-25620), and (b) will then allow the student to review the correct answers after the deadline if that has been enabled, which addresses this other long-standing issue, MDL-20329 (https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-20329).

The best answer is mattress. The relationship between the first pair of words, BARN and FARM, is that of part to whole—one word is a part or piece of the other. Therefore, the second pair of words must also have a part-to-whole relationship. A mattress is part of a bed.

Four men stand at the front of the room, three looking predictably San Diego: toned-down formal, eschewing ties, or jackets, or both.
Then there's the fourth. His style looks part open-collared coolness and part Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.
The man with the the frizzy, gray-flecked, shoulder-length beard and matching tangle of locks, Greg Koch, is the CEO and co-founder of Stone Brewing Co. He's outlining a hope for the local tourism industry. He tells an audience of suits and flannel that he wants the San Diego region to become as synonymous with craft beer as Napa is with wine. Not to sell more beer, he says, but to draw more tourists.
He throws down this accusation: Grand Rapids, Mich., is doing a better job promoting its breweries ("they're wonderful!" he notes) than San Diego. He cites an online poll to determine Beer City, USA. Grand Rapids got 27,005 votes. San Diego got 300.

We can treat water problems like traffic problems – claimed water solutions: low flush toilets, water-efficient faucets,etc. - claimed traffic problem solutions: solved by diamond lines, metering light, light rail, bus only lanes, etc.
All these solutions are, in the end, limited when the full tilt "smart growth" buzzword con turns into dumb growth - water shortage, and stop and almost go traffic congestion.

Here you go with your bizarre logic again, Ben. So water use is down by almost *twenty* percent over the past 12 years while the city's population has grown, and this is somehow just a 'buzzword con', a set of gimmicks to pull the wool over all our eyes?
a resident of Monta Loma
on May 9, 2011 at 7:17 pm
of course water use goes down with rising population. The biggest culprit in water use is landscaping. We've already reached to point that future growth will cut total landscaping of our town as buildings are put over land where we earlier put lawns.

text: Posted May 15, 2011 I think it is fair to say that both Catelyn Tully and Cersei Lannister cause some problems in their respective households. Either foolhardy political moves, silly actions, arrogance, whining, and general, I guess what you would call, stupidity. So, who do you think was worse for their family?My vote is for Cersei. While many of Catelyn's actions, if not all of them, backfire in spectacular fashion or outright fail (Tyrion's trial in the Eyrie, Renly-Stannis conference, Robb's promised marriage to a Frey), one could argue, and I think effectively, that they were all out of love. Catelyn, though inept, was taking steps that I genuinely feel she thought were for the best. I'd say the only one that, on any level, made no sense was releasing Jamie. That was idiotic and ridiculous and the way that she dismisses it as a "mother's love" made my head hurt and probably gave me cancer.Cersei, on the other hand, is a completely different animal. She, through an accident of birth, was granted great looks and high station and has taken that as an actual mark of ability. Meaning, she has done nothing to get where she is yet still thinks she is the equal of Jamie's martial prowess and Tyrion's mind condensed into one form. This arrogance is allowed to persist in that, when Cersei's schemes fail or she is outwitted, she blames it on her sex as a cop out instead of realizing that she is not, in fact, the greatest thing since sliced bread. She is power hungry, cold hearted, and, fair to say, a slut. Did I mention that she's incestuous AND a drunk? Hard to imagine that a person with all these qualities is a bad mother, right? Don't worry, she managed to raise Joffery who is sadistic, cruel, dishonorable, spoiled, soft, and maniacal. Also, right after having her husband murdered and when the realm probably would've benefited from a smooth transition, she can't control said psychotic son, who promptly executes the only hostage that was keeping the North from open rebellion.Cersei, while on the subject of the family, manages to drive away Tyrion and make him a bitter enemy even though he does, by all rights, save King's Landing while Cersei was getting drunk and getting ready to have Illyn Payne go Mortal Kombat on the entire court. Drives Jaime away, her twin brother/lover, with a combination of her cruelty and her lack of understanding of the situation he is in. Essentially, causes the death of of her father via her paranoid rantings of Tyrion murdering Joffery causing the trial and that whole fallout. Then, after that entire shitshow, drives away her uncle, Kevan, and refuses to give up being Queen Regent and why? Because Cersei wants to be queen. She doesn't care about her children, her father, her brothers, her family. All she cares about is her legacy and getting as much power for herself as she can get her dainty little hands on. She lacks the intelligence and the political machinations to scheme competently and so, to get what she wants, uses the manipulation tool that every whore in King's Landing does. Pitiful ho. Life for Cersei, if it doesn't end at an early age, would be over when she was 40 or 45, whenever her beauty left her and would just be a miserable, stuck up bitch. Catelyn is inept, but she's at least coming from a genuine and honorable place, even though some of her ideas deserved to get her a back hand or at least a quizzical, one eyebrow raised look. She also managed to raise a pretty badass gaggle of children that weren't born of incest so, she's got that going for her too. Cersei is just a a self-centered, high born prostitute with an extremely high opinion of herself. Yuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On January 16, 2012, Mexico enacted the Law on Public-Private Partnerships (Ley de Asociaciones Público Privadas) ("PPP Law"). The new PPP Law is intended to regulate the formation of partnerships between the public and private sectors in an effort to provide services and build infrastructure to improve social welfare and increase investment levels in Mexico.
Since assuming office in 2006, President Felipe Calderon has aggressively lobbied for increased investment in infrastructure in Mexico. In 2007, President Calderon launched the National Infrastructure Program ("NIP") to increase the competitiveness of Mexico's infrastructure. For President Calderon, investing in infrastructure is the way to economic and social development. In November 2009, President Calderon proposed the PPP Law as a compliment to NIP. It took two years for the Mexican Congress to approve the law. We reported on NIP and President Calderon's proposal for the PPL Law here.
The PPP Law implements a framework for public-private partnerships to allow better cooperation between the Mexican government and the private sector regarding the construction of infrastructure. The PPP Law is limited to new projects and implementation of its methods are optional. However, it cannot be applied to certain projects and activities reserved for the government, such as the oil industry.
Under the PPP Law, the private sector is permitted to submit its own proposals to relevant government agencies, either when opportunities are identified by the private sector or in response to a government agency's identification of the types of proposals it is willing to receive. The proposed project may not be awarded directly to the proposing party without undergoing customary tender procedures. However, in order to generate interest in the private sector, when a proposal leads to a tender offer, the promoter is reimbursed for the costs of project feasibility studies and is afforded a premium of up to 10 percent in the evaluation of the offer.
The PPP Law allows the government to enter into contracts with a private company for up to 40 years. In order for a private company to enter into a public-private partnership agreement, its sole corporate purpose must be to carry out the activities necessary to fulfill the agreement and develop the corresponding infrastructure project.
The PPP Law provides more legal certainty for private investors. It contemplates equal distribution of risk, access to financing, step-in rights of the government agency involved, the circumstances under which an agreement may be amended, and contractual penalties and sanctions in the case of default by one of the parties to the public-private agreement. Finally, under the PPP Law it is foreseen that disputes concerning a public-private agreement, as well as the permits and approvals necessary for the development of the project, will be resolved by arbitration.
With the implementation of the PPP Law, President Calderon anticipates that Mexico will be able to increase development of its infrastructure by enticing private investment with improved legal protections. The PPP Law is intended to address the need for schools, hospitals, and other infrastructure projects which will be developed with better quality and in areas that the government has been unable to fulfill.
Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP has been at the forefront in representing developers and investors in "public/private partnership" projects. There is a wide variety of potential forms of public/private ventures so it is essential to retain a law firm with the actual experience to address every issue that arises in the course of implementing a successful project. We have negotiated, documented and implemented transactions pertaining to developments ranging from malls and shopping centers, stadium and convention centers, theme parks and manufacturing and industrial complexes to the development of infrastructure including roads, sea and airports, marina complexes, bridges and low income or senior housing projects, among others. We understand what it takes to negotiate, document and close public/private ventures, making us a leader in this area of the law.

Welcome back wheel house job one -- Rizzo and it's great to be joined by Victor -- there's always a ton. Just talked about with Victor but what's interesting here is I I know -- talk a lot of boxing and I was just heard a piece on you in the daily news. It's as you former obviously we know the issue of emerged as a reformer and outspoken advocate of clean sport to found a second career. And receptive audience in the world of boxing so how did you. -- now we know you're a musician you got in the nutrition and now in a boxing how how did this a transformation happen. We'll make it thank you very much John employees for having me. And really I had worked in the past back in 2003 during the buckle air pollution mostly. And then in 2009 and I worked a couple of sides so what are reward Edison Miranda and -- in November when he won -- title Ramallah. -- And then then made -- 2010. My local bank here in San Mateo. I was and they're making a deposit bank manager walk up and set it up like introduce shooter sort of what my other. Clients when he took an error. And so we met to talk -- discovered that my daughter Veronica that was training with. It's -- my spousal. At undisputed boxy and so Carlos. We had a meeting next -- -- following date yet but on -- establish the computer -- nutrition program for a and then I end up working out over the course of the next three years. Opening humans next eight fights. And -- 2012 feet. He became -- boxing writers association fighter of the year. Victor how difficult was it for you to get into this strategist obviously. The didn't have the background before or at least we didn't know about it. And you jump right in it seems like you're already latching on to certain people and obviously now promoting an event that's that's that's pretty cool. Well you know I have to say that I am I'm very grateful that no meat so letter and another one back. -- -- and a tiny planet is -- female boxer bar let us ours who Wada and Olympic bronze medal in London I went over there what Kirk. Editor. Trader at the time I was a police officer in Houston at least orders. And they call up and so we wanna come out -- is going to work you can't really sure what are pure. Many questions are likely to comment and they said absolutely so Marlon came out here and that. These helpers true -- compare the world. Ships and not a -- and they're not only post anything you basically so that he's got up. They have and if you got a neo Nazis -- -- if you want access to become -- -- and do so. And so eventually I enroll. Student are all area. -- program based -- our status. For our -- He became a police source of trees sixty. Look at Albert tested there -- A Victor Conte is a good enough to join us Jon Lundberg -- on the real us and I 57 game. Is hard for people who hold your your past against you. When you when you go into these different different type of those situations you have to explain yourself over and over again. I do what I understand that people everywhere I that these suspicious about all the right questions. But unclean. All the athletes I work with McCleon -- handle as many as possible in two. A voluntary. 44 cent interest sixty by testing an artery that is also. And roll. I think at this point at the box and cannot marry -- sponsored. Either somewhere between trying to explore all. Different fighters. So I -- Understand that there will be those who will never forgive me if there's a little -- Our -- ever get another opportunity Utley in second chances and I have publicly ultra. -- boosters -- extraordinary. And I'm very grateful that there have been those at the elite level of boxing out. I decided to get used to -- Victor there's a quote for new here in the Mercury news about a year ago where you said boxing is the red light district of sports it's the only place that will have me now. I understand that maybe it's it's is not as conventional as other professional sports are in terms of Major League -- now so how do you see boxing. Well if you go back and look at what I says publicly weigh in December of 2004. I was invited -- -- easy tornado warning that mark this year a bit. There is a Santa Claus Easter Bunny -- compare -- elite level of sport and -- at least 50% of the elite athletes specifically I was talking MLB players use steroids and 80% -- stimulus. Nobody thought I was surprised at those trying to you know save everybody does and that's okay. Here we are a decade later I think most people are seeing what I was saying then try not to be true. So specifically in boxing. You know once I started rolling people -- -- -- -- -- some of these major world championship. Fighters immediately we have positive drug that's. And I think now people do understand there's there's there it is rampant in boxing and implement it like it is others sports. The differences. In boxing the objective is bodily harm. It appears there's nothing that you're Ballmer and sore. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I think it's even more important. Boxing and MMA is combat sport general. Up there in the start going our random -- and simply because -- Long term slot big damage there are four more right now which it'll. We're talking to Victor Conti here on 957 game Jon Lundberg Brazil. In terms of where we are right now in sports in general. Mainstream sports is it better or worse are the same in the question that I never get a a straight answer for -- is how culpable all our. The -- themselves. Well first of -- I don't believe. Walk around the world anti doping association or Major League Baseball or you -- well. I don't believe and we get these executives at a genuine error occurs in catching these athletes are really well. -- the study just came out. And here we are a decade -- I'll go and the awareness certainly much greater. Effort from 20122013. Water every quarter 8% increase the number out there are gaps so -- getting better. I don't think it is. Interesting because I'm here sitting you're thinking. The opposite. I'm not hearing about these problems come out as much I'm not sensing it but. If the numbers you say are true then it is even more of -- of a problem right now Victor. Well let's you have to look at the design. Of the testing let's just for a moment Kate Major League Baseball. Okay. -- basically. How the rise in their contract attached. 375. Players per year which is about 30%. Of the -- however. They only test about fifty players. So why if you have the right you're serious about catching people and and curiosity and as well at the picture -- -- when they're using. Right that's 30% of players. Are the only first. How do you think they get to that 5% of those sixty players and how Howard to have some. Highly questionable to -- the guy I talked to a very high profile Major League Baseball player I am. Ask him how many times that he has been tested. Challenge they implemented their children here I'll eat trees we're talking a lot that. One time. Tonight appears -- -- past 11 time one it is so. Their kids are -- publicly over and over and over criticized -- -- -- And others say let them see you opposing -- and of course the court but on the chilly in the back or wide open. It at that time frame during the offseason -- in the picture I think that they use drugs contractual work that that's credit program. That they developers either power base that -- dropped to its. What they basically do the first passed state big ticket extra training camp are announced that you know you're going to be. There -- -- as to what I haven't -- it -- now -- -- some reason that you're going to be targeted. That is the and it is great -- -- -- -- drugs. They're trying to go I'm sorry catch up I know you mentioned too last year that there was a certain type of testosterone that you could take essentially if you're a baseball player by the time you leave the clubhouse of a game day. It's in and out of your system by the next time you show up to the ballpark is that still true is that. It's true that is true you. Accordions. And shell holes and -- holes. They have little light sabres called pro incumbent thirty flavors that contains 75 milligrams. Just how thorough guys pop is after the game where they know they're going to be tested for the game. And they wait electronic -- don't they take -- -- after the game. Two get help with. Recovery and tissue repair. By the time they wake up the next morning and come to the ballpark. They're gonna -- below the border one. -- acting orange greens and gels or holes. On the same day that they're playing games and especially in what order fronts writers I mean Lance Armstrong once struck. Tour France titles and the use lottery for the -- out. He indicated that it was using testosterone in an oral form on -- -- access tour and the tour. And they never used -- more extensive it's called CIR -- extra pressure testing which can differentiate between synthetic and natural testosterone. They're basically only using the straps. You have an elevated spoke for about 41 PE ratio that it forty go to a hearing they won't take it straight sample used this. Which is open nail on the call and tell us which can track. I don't believe they can't protest that followed Armstrong -- a urine sample using this methodology. So there's.

It's appropriate that Adam Ant should feature his name in the title of this sprawling comeback album, as many of its 16 songs are plainly autobiographical, from the affectionate paeans to Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, to the digs at psychiatry in "Shrink".
It's a feisty, assertive affair, but let down by weak production and a lack of musical focus, Ant and co-producer Boz Boorer darting about stylistically from goth-grunge to hillbilly blues to industrial metal. The only time he really sounds passionate is "Cradle Your Hatred". That and "Vince Taylor", a rockabilly tribute to the British singer are the best cuts here.

Trauma to the spinal cord promotes a complex cascade of pathophysiological events that result in greater injury than was initially sustained and which contribute to inflammation, demyelination, axon injury and an unfavorable environment for neural recovery. The factors which drive this cascade continue to be identified and critically evaluated since each may serve as a target for the rationale design of new therapies to mitigate injury and to promote repair and regeneration. Work in our laboratory during the previous funding period indicates that serine proteases of the kallikrein (KLK) family are among the complex cascade of enzymes now recognized to be deregulated with spinal cord trauma and furthermore that several KLKs are novel mediators of neurotoxicity, astrogliosis and demyelination. Importantly, we discovered that KLKs exert their cellular effects by cleaving thereby activating G-protein coupled receptors termed Protease Activated Receptors (PARs). As cell surface receptors, PARs endow the cell with the ability to respond, or to over respond, to the rapidly changing proteolytic microenvironment that occurs at sites of CNS trauma, inflammation and blood brain barrier breakdown. The CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS to be tested in the proposed studies is that proteolytic activation of select PARs regulates unique cellular responses in the traumatically injured spinal cord and that these receptors can be differentially targeted to prevent secondary injury and to promote repair. If this hypothesis is correct, PARs may serve as targets for the development of new therapies. Four complementary Aims that focus on cellular, molecular and systems outcomes are proposed to test this hypothesis.
In Aim 1, we will determine the effects of genetic targeting of PARs on neurobehavioral recovery in a murine model of traumatic spinal cord injury.
In Aim 2, we will use genetic and pharmacologic loss and gain of function approaches to establish the role of PARs in mediating the cellular effects of SCI-related PAR agonists (KLKs, thrombin and plasmin) in primary spinal cord neurons, astrocytes and oligodendroglia and their sensitivity to neurotoxic agents in vitro.
In Aim 3, we will dissect the molecular signaling and gene expression profiles that are elicited by each protease across neurons and neuroglia and the PARs responsible for mediating these effects.
In Aim 4, we will determine the effects of PAR-pharmacotherapy on neurobehavioral recovery in murine traumatic SCI. The proposed studies will identify new receptor based mechanisms regulating the SCI microenvironment that are potentially highly amenable to therapeutic intervention and given the widespread expression of PARs in the CNS, are likely to be of fundamental significance to understanding injury and repair mechanisms in a wide range of neurological conditions.
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating often paralyzing condition with an annual incidence of 15-40 cases per million in the USA and an estimated annual cost of more than $7 billion. Efforts to improve understanding of SCI pathophysiology have already resulted in the development of specific clinical strategies for management, but there remains no drug treatment that effectively improves outcome. Interventions that target the injury that occurs after the initial trauma have the chance of improving functional outcomes, including bowel and bladder control, hand grasp, limb mobility and breathing. The proposed studies will determine the role of protease activated receptors in mediating neural injury in cases of spinal cord trauma and whether these highly druggable receptors can be targeted to improve recovery at cellular, molecular and behavioral levels in a murine SCI model. The long-term goal of these studies is to develop new therapies for SCI patients.

HTC One Max International Version - Red Exclamation and Reboot
So I was on my way to unlocking my boot loader and rooting the phone when i ran into this issue. (running device on AT&T)
The phone is stuck on a Red Exclamation Point and then it reboots to a white HTC screen every minute or two.
Where I was at in the process my bootloader was "unlocked", "tampered" displayed. I had even backed up with TWRP. The thing was I couldnt get the USB Debugging turned on. I turned it on before I started the process and was having trouble finishing with superuser and rooting the device. I had been trying forever to setup the S-OFF Feature to NO AVAIL.
Once I unlocked on HTCdev and then setup TWRP I just could never get the phone back to normal.
Once again this is the INT'L Version of the HTC ONE MAX and I just don't know where to turn next.
Please help. I am without phone and just purchased yesterday.
TIA - Mark

Okay so now I need some HELP.
I took out the SD Card and the SIM Card and the Bootloader screen comes up.
My choices are FASTBOOT, RECOVERY FACTORY RESET, SIM LOCK etc.

Re: HTC One Max International Version - Red Exclamation and Reboot
I've tried all sorts and Still can't get s-off using firewater. I've enabled usb debugging and unticked fast boot in power options and unknown sources is ticked. I've set up ads folder on c: drive with all files in there including firewater and it finds device using add devices but when firewater runs it gets to chugging 1 then goes to command prompt and I've tried loads. Tried rumrunner and that gets to end and says to prey and reboot device and run again. I have unlocked bootloader on HTC one max t6ul stuck on s-on, running vipermax 2.0, twrp installed and super user. It's rooted and everything and still can't get it to change to s-off to fix the fingerprint reader. Is this going to be able to be fixed? as it's really doing my head in now.. Kind regards Tim

Hotplugging with Udev, HAL, and D-Bus
Hardware which just works is what every user wants. Current Linux distributions go a long way to fulfilling that dream. In this article, we will be investigating how the hotplug system works.
Is it really that difficult? You only wanted Linux to launch the right program when you attached your new digital camera, but the operating system has decided to sit this one out. This scenario is all too common, although the situation has started to improve. Linux should handle any kind of hardware correctly, but the ability to manage USB and Firewire devices plugged in or unplugged while the computer is running (known as hotplugging [1]) has become increasingly important. This article explains what a modern Linux system does with the devices you attach to it, and why not everything works as planned.

|Re: Urgency field added
|Thu, 27 Jul 2006 22:07:55 GMT
Thanks, Andrew. This is very helpful. I think I can soldier on for a while without being able to match an exact subset of Urgencies. Sorting by Urgency turns out to be a bit perplexing. I thought I was going to get a list sorted by the semantic value of Urgency. That is, issues would sort in this order: Blocker, Urgent, Normal, Low, blank. But the sorter treats Urgency as a string and sorts the issues alphabetically: Blocker, Low, Normal, Urgent, blank. Any workaround here?

I bet you remember that time your mum asked you to teach her how to use a computer, a tablet or smartphone.
It's the same thing seniors hate about technology; it's hard to grasp at first but they also love it because it is convenient and useful.
According to a McMaster study by its Department of Health Ageing and Society, elders think of new technology as friend or foe.
The study, funded by the Labarge Optimal Aging Initiative and through a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), took place over six months and involved interviews with a group of 35 older adults with vehicles equipped with at least two AVT features such as lane departure warning systems, blind spot monitors, back-up cameras and GPS systems to examine seniors' perceptions and use of these technologies.
"Older adults have a longer driving history with different types of automobiles, but haven't learned to drive in a high tech car," says Gish. "I was interested in how this technology is changing the experience of driving for older adults and what opportunities or anxieties it's presenting."
She says the seniors in her study learned how to use these features without difficulty– in many cases reporting that the technology made them feel safer, but says they also used them selectively.
For example, while participants said they felt comfortable– and often preferred– to use back-up cameras to help them park in areas with lots of other cars and pedestrians, they also turned off other features, like adaptive cruise control– a system that automatically adjusts vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance from cars ahead– reporting that they sometimes felt uncomfortable relying on the technology to do the work of driving for them.
"They're developing a critical relationship with AVTs," she says. "For example, they might do a shoulder check rather than relying solely on the car's blind spot monitor. They tend to think through whether they're going to use their own skills, the technology or a combination of both."
But then again, it just takes effort to learn and use something efficiently, right?
It was in the remake of Total Recall where identification technology allowed companies to directly advertise to consumers in need of a solution for their troubles. This technology is rising today, much to us consumers loving or hating the fact that it is.
I'm a travel agent so I believe this would benefit me. But some consumers may find it annoying.
Now, new technology allows advertisers to identify your vehicle. Upon identification, they would present you a product or service that would benefit your car.
According to CBC Radio Technology Columnist Dan Misener, there's a new "Vehicle Recognition Technology" walking in our midst.
Here's how it works according to him:
These are large, digital screens, three in a row, each about 12 metres wide and 3.5 metres high. And they have built-in cameras that take photos of nearby traffic.
So if you're stopped at a traffic light near one of these billboards, the camera will capture an image of the front of your vehicle, and computer vision software will identify the type of car you're driving.
And then, based on that information, the billboard will change to show you a message targeted to the kind of person the system thinks you are. So a black convertible might trigger a different ad than a blue hatchback, for example.
To be honest, all billboards would need are high-tech gadgets and cameras that would allow them to identify a vehicle then target the right consumers. I mean, Google AdSense and even cookies do that to us (unless you clean your browser).
It has me thinking of possibilities. Hmm…

If anything, commuting is a big pain. The troublesome public transportation had done little to make life convenient for commuters. There's always rush hour.
For private car users, the rush hour means long, tiring rides. But it beats having to compete with people in coaches.
In China, the traffic troubles are far worse. But they have a new idea that may revolutionise the world of public transportation as we know it.
Welcome the straddle bus technology.
In this 3D demonstration of the straddle bus idea, the project designers wanted to resolve troubles for high road space demand, slow speeds, long trip times and increased motor queuing.
We've tried double deck buses and increasing number of bus lanes as well as creating more overpasses and underpasses.
So, the straddle bus would help resolve matters for almost everyone because it would allow cars to travel underneath. The same goes for conventional busses. Meanwhile, straddle buses would be speeding headlong above.
Watch this video and see how awesome the idea truly is!
It's no question that productivity improves when you can take your mind off of one thing and focus on another. Multi-tasking has only done so much for individuals. Unfortunately, we can't always multi-task driving because, you know, accidents.
Humour aside, everyone expects driverless cars by 2020. At least a fully-automated one at that. While you can get semi-autonomous vehicles in the market, which can identify other cars on the road along with an anti-collision system that can save you at that one, last dire minute, it's not a fully-automated car.
It's not a self-driving car.
Experts are saying the UK and the rest of the western world can get its first full self-driving car by the year 2020. According to Ford Product Development Head Raj Nair, self-driving cars would be on the roads by 2020.
According to Continental, the time for self-driving cars may also arrive by 2023. Despite a few faults here and there, such as possible heavy reliance on GPS and mapping technologies as our navigation apps can do, a decade would be enough, according to Continental Chairman of the Executive Board Imar Degenhart.
But the industry would bring about 320,000 jobs and a £51 billion boost to the United Kingdom. That's research from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
So maybe you can do some office work by then while your car drives you to work or home. And that's an awesome feeling for salespeople like me!
I'm always stoked when I read about advanced vehicle technologies. With the help of Elon Musk, Tesla's guiding light in creating its revolutionary electric cars, I can't help thinking if there's still a better way to travel.
Then I read about Hyperloop technology. While SpaceX and Amazon are developing rockets that would conserve much of the expenses needed to travel to space, Elon Musk is also competing in public transport.
Hyperloop will have passengers and cargo sit in pods. The pods would be propelled from city to city in low-pressure tubes on stilts above cities. While electric car sales would go down once this futuristic, science fiction-possibly-turned-science-fact is perfectly executed into practice, Musk will be remembered as an epic revolutionary in world transport development.
According to Hyperloop's engineers, the tubes will have travel pods go over 1,000 km/h. Pillars will even out bumps, which guarantees people would feel safe while travelling in hyperspeeds.
However, some experts raise some serious troubles in the development of tube-based travel.
According to Aston Business School Professor David Bailey, vacuum travel propelling people up to 700mph is not comfortable at all. Aside from such, his concern is the development of the system. Using pylons and stilts can be expensive. However, he stresses the project, while quite a fantasy, is something he'd really love to see.
I mean I would want to point out the negative parts of the project, but anybody who's seen things materialise from science fiction, like me with electric cars, would really want to see this happen!
New Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller said VW can take the technical, mechanical and financial strain of refitting 8.5 million Volkswagen cars in Europe fitted with illegal emissions-control software. He claims it is good development.
Several Volkswagen models, including Audi, would face auxiliary emission control software reprogramming for 3.0 litre diesel engines regulators found rigged.
The new statement comes after the car manufacturer is accused of defeating emissions exams with illegal software, explaining the lack in decline in Europe's pollution levels.
Meanwhile, due to the costs of diesel recalls and compensation payments for its manipulation of CO2 emission levels, Volkswagen had paid out about €8.7 billion (£6.1 billion)
According to Mueller, cleaning up the emissions scandal will take up several months as regulators continue their investigations.
The German KBA motoring watchdog has approved VW's solution for more than 90 per cent of the affected vehicles. Aside from the 3.0 litre vehicles, models with 1.6 litre and 2 litres will have their solutions by the end of the month.
Volkswagen's environmental scandal had made big news after more than 11 million vehicles were rigged with emissions-defeating software that regulated its emissions during examinations.
Volkswagen cars are not the only ones under investigation. Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn is under investigation under assertion that Winterkorn played a huge role in the diesel emissions scandal, which left 11 million Volkswagen cars worldwide emitting more fumes than advertised or verified.
Winterkorn said he had no knowledge of software that could hide the emissions of their vehicles. However, several individuals stress he had an idea of the unfolding events but turned a blind eye.
Investigators would grill any other car manufacturer who had used the 2 liter Volkswagen engine controlled via software to limit their emissions during examination. Investigators point to three senior managers in Porsche and Volkswagen as commissioners of the specialized "cheating" software. Meanwhile, Audi is uncertain whether its vehicles had poor emissions, noting that Audis could be widely implicated in the case.
Audi produces about 15 per cent of the Volkswagen vehicles sold in 2015. About 13,000 Audis exist in the United States. The scandal has rocked the country and the tarnished reputation could cost the sales of Volkswagen vehicles worldwide. Volkswagen had lost about $30 billion of its initial value in the market.
Volkswagen had apologised to its investors and consumers. It began with America, apologising to owners of diesel cars that they had betrayed their trust in the quality worksmanship of Volkswagen. The loss of Volkswagen could mean Germany's stability. Volkswagen brings in substantial tax revenue and 250,000 jobs in the country.
You might say that making an omelette is the simplest thing in the world and even I can do it. I admit, I can. But I know about many people who couldn't make an omelette perfectly. While this scrumptious meal is quite simple, it means patience and understanding how small details need great attention. I mean serious attention.
If you could show me how awesome you could make an omelette better than these two or than me, then you've got a challenge!
I'm quite a fan of golf and I must say, the Irish Open is something I look forward to after the first quarter of every year. However, it also means a greater number of people in the area, high levels of traffic in Belfast and hotel accommodations becoming more difficult.
This year's Irish Open is at the Royal County Down. If you're planning to travel by a car, by a bus, you might want to go early. Here are the schedules.
Its hours will be:
Once you land on Castlewellan Road roundabout, you just need to walk five minutes to Royal County Down.
If you'd like to know more, here's the official travel guide!
Delphi Automotive's Self Driving Audi SQ5 SUV is set to begin a 3,500 mile driverless journey from California to New York. The car has just left San Francisco and will arrive on April 3 for a car show in New York. Meanwhile, two people will "live" inside the car as it drives in case of any emergency.
Delphi's car includes 20 sensors, four raders and a laser mapping system to guide itself throughout the terrain it's to travel. The coast-to-coast test will showcase the capabilities of the automated vehicle and an attempt to be the longest automated drive attempted in North America.
Delphi said that drivers on the road shouldn't be afraid of the driverless vehicle should they pass by it.
The company is one of the biggest automotive electronics and safety systems suppliers. The car is to acquire 2.3 TB of information through cameras, radar and its laser mapping technology for future research and development.
Observers and analysts praise Delphi's new test with the growing interest of the car industry to develop driverless vehicles, which may be in production in 2020.
Along with Delphi, Google and Tesla Motors intend to improve self-driving vehicle technology in the next few years.
