Nigeria is a nation of dramas. If not, how can one explain how a sitting Governor planned to enter another country (outside of West Africa) with proper documentation?
This was the plight of Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, who planned a trip to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj on Wednesday evening.

He plans was cut short when it was discovered at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, that his Umrah visa to Saudi Arabia had expired.
Mr. Bello had flown in a domestic flight from Abuja to Kano, surprisingly to validate his visa before his trip.
How the Governor was cleared by immigration staff still remains a mystery. It was gathered that he had already boarded the Saudi Arabia bound aircraft and sat on his reserved seat.
According to our sources, his aides busied themselves with rectifying his travel documents.
At the peak of the processing at the Saudi Arabia consulate in Kano, it was discovered that the Kogi State's visa had expired.
Shamefacedly, he disembarked from the flight.

The obviously angry Mr. Bello went to Kano State Government House, where he passed the night.
It is not certain whether Mr. Bello cleared himself later today with the Saudi Authorities.

I was not early to the precious metals trade by any means. But I was lucky enough to get advice from a friend in 2007 that convinced me to go long gold from around $900-1050 and silver from $9-12.
Like many others, today I face a conundrum. Should I sell at least some of my position? It seems greedy not to, yet I haven't trimmed at all so far.
Why not sell after a 433% runup? Greed? Hopefully not. I like to think it's a lack of alternative. I've considered flipping silver profits into more palladium, but that idea just seems meh for now.
Cash Out?
Perhaps silver longs should trade bullion for US dollars. Roll the cash into an Ally CD at 1.2%, maybe. With real price inflation running at 5-10%, and taxes owed on the meager interest, that CD should return an impressive -7% annually. Seems like a very effective way to wipe out savings, but I'll pass.
I recently added to Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) shares, bought some Southern Copper (NYSE:SCCO) and Pan American Silver (NASDAQ:PAAS), but frankly have not seen many tantalizing equity opportunities lately. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and other high-flyers look incredibly overpriced here, but I have thus far resisted any illogical urges to short stocks (hold the line, it's easier to be long PMs than short stocks).
So for now, I plan on holding silver. The only way a substantial pullback seems likely is an end to Fed printing. Not in the cards, in my opinion.

Thank you for crunching the numbers and posting the collected data, why i luv wxunderground as its pages can be enjoyed by the Pro as much as the layman and to do so its takes lots of work i.e. a luv for science.
As to not post on another blog my theory on how a weather influencing device might have something to do with weather around the NE to mid west/ western Atlantic/upper Gulf of Mexico,i'll just leave my latest blogbit's link (http://www.wunderground.com/blog/vis0/comment.htm l?entrynum=120).
If one is interested in that someone states they created a device to influence weather and is using it now (since 1970s) read my blog. At worst think of it as scifi, and when its discovered to be real/factual wonder what if this device were used before the really big gas shortage occurs ~2036 (official estimates takes into consideration China's population using 50-% more more vehicles than they use now).
As to NAMING THE WINTER STORMS try the rules i posted PAH-LEASE (http://www.wunderground.com/blog/vis0/comment.htm l?entrynum=115), now back to enjoy weather info/maps & obs,peace

Wide receiver Victor Cruz has signed his $2.879 million tender with the New York Giants. Two people familiar with the contract told The Associated Press on Friday that the restricted free agent with three years in the NFL had signed the tender while he works on a long-term deal with the Giants. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the signing has not been announced publicly. Had the 26-year-old Cruz not signed before Monday, the Giants' offer could have been reduced to $630,000 for the 2013 season. The Giants could have matched any offers Cruz received from other teams. Cruz skipped all of New York's offseason program, but will be required to show up at training camp beginning in late July. An undrafted free agent in 2010 out of Massachusetts who became a star with the Giants as they won the 2011 NFL title, Cruz is coming off a Pro Bowl season.

Connecting EMC/NetApp shelves as JBOD to a Linux machineWednesday, April 29th, 2015
Let's say you have old shelves of either EMC or NetApp with SAS or SATA disks in them. And let's say you want to connect them via FC to a Linux machine and have some nice ZFS machine/cluster, or whatever else. There are few things to know, and to attend in order for it to work.
The first one is the sector size. For NetApp – this applies only to non SATA disks (I don't know about SSDs, though), and for EMC this could apply, as far as I noticed, to all disks – sector size is not 512 bytes, but 520 – the additional 8 bytes are used for block checksum. Linux does not handle well 520 blocks – the following error message will appear in the logs:
Unsupported sector size 520.
To solve it, we will need to identify the disks – using sg3_utils (in Centos-like – yum install sg3_utils) and then modify them to block size of 512 bytes. To identify the disks, run:
sg_scan -i
/dev/sg0: scsi0 channel=3 id=0 lun=0
HP P410i 3.66 [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0xc] /dev/sg1: scsi0 channel=0 id=0 lun=0
HP LOGICAL VOLUME 3.66 [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0x0] /dev/sg2: scsi3 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em] hp DVD A DS8A5LH 1HE3 [rmb=1 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x5] /dev/sg3: scsi1 channel=0 id=0 lun=0

FUJITSU MXW3300FE 0906 [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0x0] /dev/sg13: scsi1 channel=0 id=10 lun=0
SEAGATE SX3300007FC D41B [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0x0] /dev/sg14: scsi1 channel=0 id=11 lun=0
SEAGATE SX3300007FC D41B [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0x0] /dev/sg15: scsi1 channel=0 id=12 lun=0
SEAGATE SX3300007FC D41B [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0x0] /dev/sg16: scsi1 channel=0 id=13 lun=0
SEAGATE SX3300007FC D41B [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0x0] /dev/sg17: scsi1 channel=0 id=14 lun=0
SEAGATE SX3300007FC D41B [rmb=0 cmdq=1 pqual=0 pdev=0x0]
So, for each sg device (member of our batch of disks) we need to modify the sector size.
Two ways to do so – the first suggested by this post here, is by using sg_format in the following manner:
sg_format –format –size=512 /dev/sg2
Another post suggested using a dedicated program called 'setblocksize'. I followed this one, and it worked fine. I had to power cycle the disks before the Linux could use them.
I did notice that disk performance were not bright. I got about 45MB/s write, and about 65-70 MB/s read for large sequential operations, using something like:
dd bs=1M if=/dev/sdf of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000
dd bs=1M if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdf oflag=direct count=10000 # WARNING – this writes on the disk. Do not use for disks with data!
Fairly disappointing. Also, using multipath, when the shelf is connected to one FC port, and then back to another, showed me that with the setting:
path_grouping_policy multibus
I got about 10MB/s less compared to using "failover" flag (the default for Centos 6). Whatever modification I did to the multipathd.conf, I was unable to exceed this number when using multiple access. These results were consistent when using multibus or group_by_serial, however, when a single path was active and the other was passive, It clearly showed better. I did modify rr_min_io and rr_min_io_rq, but with no effect.
The low disk performance could suggest I need to flush the original disk firmware, however, I am not sure I will do so. If anyone is reading this and had different results – I would love to hear about it.
XenServer 6.5 PCI-PassthroughThursday, April 16th, 2015
While searching the web for how to perform PCI-Passthrough on XenServers, we mostly get info about previous versions. Since I have just completed setting up PCI-Passthrough on XenServer version 6. 5 (with recent update 8, just to give you some notion of the exact time frame), I am sharing it here.
Hardware: Cisco UCS blades, with fNIC. I wish to pass through two FC HBAs into a VM (it is going to act as a backup server, and I need it accessing the FC tape). While all my XenServers in this pool have four (4) FC HBAs, this particular XenServer node has six (6). I am intending the first four for SR communication and the remaining two for the PCI Passthrough process.
This is the output of 'lspci | grep Fibre':
0b:00.0 Fibre Channel: Cisco Systems Inc VIC FCoE HBA (rev a2)
0c:00.0 Fibre Channel: Cisco Systems Inc VIC FCoE HBA (rev a2)
0d:00.0 Fibre Channel: Cisco Systems Inc VIC FCoE HBA (rev a2)
0e:00.0 Fibre Channel: Cisco Systems Inc VIC FCoE HBA (rev a2)
0f:00.0 Fibre Channel: Cisco Systems Inc VIC FCoE HBA (rev a2)
10:00.0 Fibre Channel: Cisco Systems Inc VIC FCoE HBA (rev a2)
So, I want to pass through 0f:00.0 and 10:00.0. I had to add to /boot/extlinux.conf the following two entries after the word 'splash' and before the three dashes:
pciback.hide=(0f:00.0)(10:00.0) xen-pciback.hide=(0f:00.0)(10:00.0)
Initially, and contrary to the documentation, the parameter pciback.hide had no effect. As soon as the VM started, the command 'multipath -l' would hang forever (or until hard reset to the host).
To apply the settings above, run (for a good measure. Don't think we need it, but did not read anything about it): 'extlinux -i /boot' and then reboot.
Now, when the host is back, we need to add the devices to the VM. Make sure that the VM is in 'off' state before doing that. Your command would look like this:
xe vm-param-set uuid=<VM UUID> other-config:pci=0/0000:0f:00.0,0/0000:10:00.0
The expression '0/0000' is required. You can search for its purpose, however, in most cases, your value would look exactly like mine – '0/0000'
Since my VM is Windows, here it almost ends: Start the VM, and if it boots correctly, Install Cisco VIC into it, as if it were a physical host. You're done.
XenServer 6.0 with DRBDWednesday, January 18th, 2012
DRBD is a low-cost shared-SAN-like solution, which has several great benefits, among which are no single point of failure, and very low cost (local storage and network cable). Its main disadvantages are in the need to constantly monitor it, and make sure it does what's expected. Also – in some cases – performance might be affected greatly.
If you need XenServer pool with VMs XenMotion (used to call it LiveMigration. I liked it better then…), but you cannot afford or do not want classic shared storage acting a single point of failure, DRBD could be for you. You have to understand the limitations, however.
The most important limitation is with data consistency. If you aim at using it as Active/Active, as I have, you need to make sure that under any circumstance you will not have split brain, as it will mean losing data (you will recover to an older point in time). If you aim at Active/Passive, or all your VMs will run on a single host, then the danger is lower, however – for A/A, and VMs spread across both hosts – the danger is imminent, and you should be aware of it.
This does not mean that you will have to run crying in case of split brain. It means you might be required to export/import VMs to maintain consistent data, and that you will have a very long downtime. Kinda defies the purpose of XenMotion and all…
Using the DRBD guid here, you will find an excellent solution, but not a complete one. I will describe my additions to this document.
So, first, you need to download the DRBD packages. I have re-packaged them, as they did not match XenServer with XS60E003 update. You can grub this particular tar.gz here: drbd-8.3.12-xenserver6.0-xs003.tar.gz . I did not use DRBD 8.4.1, as it has shown great instability and liked getting split-brained all the time. Don't want it with our system, do we?
Make sure you have defined the private link between your hosts, both as a network interface, as described, and in both servers' /etc/hosts file. It will be easier later. Verify that the host hostname matches the configuration file, else DRBD will not start.
Next, follow the mentioned guide.
Unlike this guide, I did not define DRBD to be Active/Active in the configuration file. I have noticed that upon reboot of the pool master (and always it), probably due to timing issues, as the XE Toolstack did not release the DRBD device, it would have started in split-brain mode, and I was incapable of handling it correctly. No matter when I have tried to set the service to start, as early as possible, it would have always start in split-brain mode.
The workaround was to let it start in passive mode, and while being read-only device, XE Toolstack cannot use it. Then I wait (in /etc/rc.local) for it to complete sync, and connect the PBD.
You will need each host PBD for this specific SR.
You can do it by running:
for i in `xe host-list --minimal` ; do echo -n "host `xe host-param-get param-name=hostname uuid=$i` " echo "PBD `xe pbd-list sr-uuid=$(xe sr-list name-label=drbd-sr1 --minimal) --minimal`" done
This will result in a line per host with the DRBD PBD uuid. Replace drbd-sr1 with your actual DRBD SR name.
You will require this info later.
My drbd.conf file looks like this:
# You can find an example in /usr/share/doc/drbd.../drbd.conf.example #include "drbd.d/global_common.conf"; #include "drbd.d/*.res"; resource drbd-sr1 { protocol C; startup { degr-wfc-timeout 120; # 2 minutes. outdated-wfc-timeout 2; # 2 seconds. #become-primary-on both; } handlers { split-brain "/usr/lib/drbd/notify.sh root"; } disk { max-bio-bvecs 1; no-md-flushes; no-disk-flushes; no-disk-barrier; } net { allow-two-primaries; cram-hmac-alg "sha1"; shared-secret "Secr3T"; after-sb-0pri discard-zero-changes; after-sb-1pri discard-secondary; after-sb-1pri consensus; after-sb-2pri disconnect; #after-sb-2pri call-pri-lost-after-sb; max-buffers 8192; max-epoch-size 8192; sndbuf-size 1024k; } syncer { rate 1G; al-extents 2099; } on xenserver1 { device /dev/drbd1; disk /dev/sda3; address 10.1.1.1:7789; meta-disk internal; } on xenserver2 { device /dev/drbd1; disk /dev/sda3; address 10.1.1.2:7789; meta-disk internal; } }
I did not force them both to become primary, as split-brain handling in A/A mode is very complex. I have forced them to start as secondary.
Then, in /etc/rc.local, I have added the following lines:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online while grep sync /proc/drbd > /dev/null 2>&1 do sleep 5 done /sbin/drbdadm primary all /opt/xensource/bin/xe pbd-plug uuid=dfb02709-2483-a11a-cb0e-eac0fb05d8e2
This performs the following:
- Add an additional core to Domain 0, to reduce chances of CPU overload with DRBD
- Waits for any sync to complete (if DRBD failed, it will continue, but you will have a split brain, or no DRBD at all)
- Brings the DRBD device to primary mode. I have had only one DRBD device, but this can be performed selectively for each device
- Reconnects the PBD which, till this point in the boot sequence, was disconnected. An important note – replace the uuid with the one discovered above for each host – each host should unplug its own PBD.
To sum it up – until sync has been completed, the PBD will not be plugged, and until then, no VMs can run on this SR. Split brain handling for A/P configuration is so much easier.
Some additional notes:
- I have failed horribly when the interconnect cable was down. I did not implement hardware fencing mechanisms, but it would probably be a very good practice for production systems. Disconnecting the cross cable will result in a split brain.
- For this system to be worthy, it has to have external monitoring. DRBD must be monitored at all times.
- Practice and document cases of single node failure, both nodes failure, host master failure, etc. Make sure you know how to react before it happens in real-life.
- Performance was measured on a Linux RHEL6 VM to be about 82MB/s. The hardware it was tested on was Dell PE R610 with a very nice RAID5 array, etc. When the 2nd host was down, performance resulted in abour 450MB/s, so the bandwidth, in this particular case, matters.
- Performance test was done using the command:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M of=/tmp/test_file.dd oflag=direct
Without the oflag=direct, the system will overload the disk write cache of the OS, and not the disk itself (at least – not immediately).
- I did not test random-access performance.
Xen VMs performance collectionSaturday, October 18th, 2008
Unlike VMware Server, Xen's HyperVisor does not allow an easy collection of performance information. The management machine, called "Domain-0" is actually a privileged virtual machine, and thus – get its own small share of CPUs and RAM. Collecting performance information on it will lead to, well, collecting performance information for a single VM, and not the whole bunch.
Local tools, such as "xentop" allows collection of information, however, combining this with Cacti, or any other SNMP-based collection tool is a bit tricky.
A great solution is provided by Ian P. Christian in his blog post about Xen monitoring. He has created a Perl script to collect information. I have taken the liberty to fix several minor things with his permission. The modified scripts are presented below. Name the script (according to your version of Xen) "/usr/local/bin/xen_stats.pl" and set it to be executable:
For Xen 3.1
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; # declare... sub trim($); #xen_cloud.tar.gz # we need to run 2 iterations because CPU stats show 0% on the first, and I'm putting .1 second betwen them to speed it up my @result = split(/n/, `xentop -b -i 2 -d.1`); # remove the first line shift(@result); shift(@result) while @result && $result[0] !~ /^xentop - /; # the next 3 lines are headings.. shift(@result); shift(@result); shift(@result); shift(@result); foreach my $line (@result) { my @xenInfo = split(/[t ]+/, trim($line)); printf("name: %s, cpu_sec: %d, cpu_percent: %.2f, vbd_rd: %d, vbd_wr: %dn", $xenInfo[0], $xenInfo[2], $xenInfo[3], $xenInfo[14], $xenInfo[15] ); } # trims leading and trailing whitespace sub trim($) { my $string = shift; $string =~ s/^s+//; $string =~ s/s+$//; return $string; }
For Xen 3.2 and Xen 3.3
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; # declare… sub trim($); # we need to run 2 iterations because CPU stats show 0% on the first, and I'm putting .1 second between them to speed it up my @result = split(/n/, `/usr/sbin/xentop -b -i 2 -d.1`); # remove the first line shift(@result); shift(@result) while @result && $result[0] !~ /^[t ]+NAME/; shift(@result); foreach my $line (@result) { my @xenInfo = split(/[t ]+/, trim($line)); printf("name: %s, cpu_sec: %d, cpu_percent: %.2f, vbd_rd: %d, vbd_wr: %dn", $xenInfo[0], $xenInfo[2], $xenInfo[3], $xenInfo[14], $xenInfo[15] ); } # trims leading and trailing whitespace sub trim($) { my $string = shift; $string =~ s/^s+//; $string =~ s/s+$//; return $string; }
Cron settings for Domain-0
Create a file "/etc/cron.d/xenstat" with the following contents:
# This will run xen_stats.pl every minute
*/1 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/xen_stats.pl > /tmp/xen-stats.new && cat /tmp/xen-stats.new > /var/run/xen-stats
SNMP settings for Domain-0
Add the line below to "/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf" and then restart the snmpd service
extend xen-stats /bin/cat /var/run/xen-stats
I reduced Ian Cacti script to be based on a per-server setup, meaning this script gets the host (dom-0) name from Cacti, but cannot support live migrations. I will try to deal with combining live migrations with Cacti in the future.
Download and extract my modified xen_cloud.tar.gz file. Extract it, place the script and config in its relevant location, and import the template into Cacti. It should work like charm.
A note – the PHP script will work only on PHP5 and above. Works flawlessly on Centos5.2 for me.
Graphing on-demand Linux system performance parametersTuesday, May 20th, 2008
Current servers are way more powerful than we could have imagined before. With quad-core CPUs, even the simple dual-socket servers contain lots of horse-power. Remember our attitude towards CPU power five years ago, and see that we're way beyond our needs.
When modern servers are equipped with at least eight cores, other, non-CPU related issues become noticeable. Storage, as always, remains a common bottleneck, and, as an increase in expectations always accommodate increase in abilities, memory and other elements can be the cause for performance degradation.
'sar' is a known tool for Linux and other Unix flavors, however, understanding the contexts within is not trivial, and while the data is there, figuring what is relevant for the issue at hand becomes, with more disk devices, and more CPUs, even more complicated.
kSar is a simple java utility which makes this whole mess into a simple, readable graphs, capable of being exported to PDF for the pleasure of the customers (where applicable). It parses existing sar files, or the extracted contents of 'sa' files (from, by default, /var/log/sa/). It is a useful tool, and I recommend it with all my heart.
Alas, when it comes to parsing 'sa' files, you will need, in most cases, either to export the file into text on the source machine, or use a similar version of sysstat tools, as changes in versions reflect changes in the binary format used by sar.
You can obtain the sysstat utils from here, and compile it for your needs. You will need only 'sar' on your own machine.
An important note – you will not be able to compile sysstat utils using GCC 4.x. Only 3.x will do it. The error would look like:
warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type `unsigned char…
followed by compilation errors. Using GCC version 3.x will work just fine.

Nuclear Weapons
Trump Says He Wants to Expand U.S. Nuclear ArsenalSpeaking from behind his desk in the Oval Office, Trump also declared himself "very angry" at North Korea's ballistic missile test.
Trump's Press Conference Nearly Defies DescriptionFunnier than "The Apprentice," scarier than "The Walking Dead," Trump's talk is one for the ages—or until next time.
Accepting Nuclear North Korea And Working to Limit RiskPyongyang's nuclear facilities must be properly monitored, rather than kept hidden.
U.S. Warns North Korea Over Use of Nuclear WeaponsMattis' remarks come amid concern that North Korea could be readying to test a new ballistic missile, in what could be an early challenge for Trump's administration.
Trump on Nukes: 'Let it be an arms race'"We will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all," Trump said in an interview, after his controversial Tweet that called for an expansion of nuclear weapon capabilities.
General Trump and His Nuclear LabyrinthDonald Trump's pronouncements on nuclear weapons are reminiscent of General Douglas MacArthur's playbook in 1952.

Did a great job, on time, easy communication, good value. Will use Flamur again.
Really great friendly team. Left the place neat and tidy - nothing was too much trouble. We had to wait a while for them to fit us in but then again I would be worried if the turned up the next day! Value for money yes - not the cheapest but by no means most expensive. Would be happy to have them back again.

The snow outside
is swirling round
it goes to the ground
without a sound.
red lights flicker
with green and blue
Twinkling lights
of every hue
all around
you hear the souds
that show st.nick
is coming to town
a stack of presents
under a tree
around it gather
a blessed family
for on this day
dear Crist was born
and all the angels
played trumpets and horns.
Yes I can see,
th cheer family brings,
But Alone I shall walk
on this Christmas eve.

Happy Birthday to me!!!
... of nowhere vs in a Walmart parking lot. So much more refreshing! We took advantage of the quiet beautiful morning to do some yoga outside in the sun. I wanted to spend my birthday lying on the beach so we decided to drive into south beach in Miami. We stopped at a casino on the way and spent 10$ on slots. The big prize was 60000$ but sadly we left empty handed. No Birthday luck! There was a lot of traffic on the way to Miami but the views were beautiful and it was a hot sunny day so ...

Day 5: I went to Miami beach for breakfast as today will be the last day of me visiting attractions here, I went to Big Pink right on the beach, They had almost anything you could think of on this menu from chicken and waffles to fajitas to salmon teriyaki sandwich wraps. I ended up going twice. The first time I had the fajita sandwich with chicken and the 2nd time I had ...
Miami, Tuesday 29th - Friday 1st
In the morning, our first impressions of our hostel are further cemented by a rather lack luster breakfast of cold, soggy white toast with jelly and cream cheese accompanied by the worst coffee ever. Definitely the worst included breakfast of the entire trip. We spent the day recovering from the previous two days and preparing for the following day with a stroll on the beach, laundry, some delicious eats (burritos in the Miami beach park and sushi for ...
Time to Go Home
... Ocean near FLL. It is now sunny and hot. We have a snack at the Oasis Caf� – known for their rocking chair booths. Casey bids a fond farewell to the beach. We arrive home to 30 degree weather with a forecast of snow in the near future. I'm wondering... should we have purchased some of the "I survived Spring Break 2013" Tee Shirts? ...

We made it off the plane and headed to the long line for immigrations, we just wanted to get through it as quick as possible to make sure our luggage made it.

Epigenomic Regulators
Epigenetics refers to the governing of gene expression by natural chemical modifications of a cell's DNA or histones (proteins that help control DNA transcription) without any change in the DNA sequence itself. Epigenomics, in turn, describes the large-scale effects on cellular function of interrelated collections of epigenetic modifications. Epigenomic factors play an important role in cell differentiation and the regulation of key cellular processes. Substances capable of regulating gene expression, and hence cell function, through high-level epigenomic mechanisms may hold great therapeutic promise and are the subject of active drug development at DURECT.
DURECT's Epigenomic Regulator Program is a collaborative effort between DURECT and the Department of Internal Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), the VCU Medical Center and the McGuire VA Medical Center. The program capitalizes on more than 20 years of research by Shunlin Ren, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Internal Medicine at the VCU Medical Center and a recipient of multiple grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for metabolic disease research.
This program builds on the discovery of a family of compounds that may have therapeutic utility in a wide range of diseases and syndromes, both orphan in nature and affecting broader patient populations. DUR-928, the lead compound in this program, is an endogenous, orally bioavailable small molecule that modulates the activity of nuclear receptors playing a key regulatory role in lipid homeostasis, inflammation, and cell survival. DUR-928 appears to be highly conserved across animal species.
Compelling animal data in the areas of lipid dysregulation and acute organ injury—from 8 preclinical disease models involving 3 animal species—are driving the exploration of potential human indications and clinical development strategies.

It is not necessary to arrange an appointment to appear at an Embassy or Consulate in person. ESTA approval authorizes a person to travel to the U.S. under the VWP, but does not guarantee that you are admissible to the United States. Upon arrival in the United States you will be inspected by a Customs and Border Protection officer at a port of entry who may determine that you are inadmissible under the VWP or for any reason under US law.
Approved travel authorization are valid for a period of two years, or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. Visitors will have multiple trips to the United States without having to re-apply for another ESTA. The US Department of Homeland Security recommends that you apply for ESTA authorization as soon as you know you will be traveling to the United States under the VWP.

Report: Chris Brown Flips Out, Smashes Window After GMA
Chris Brown's Tuesday appearance on Good Morning America didn't exactly go without a hitch.
Promoting his new album F.A.M.E. (Forgiving All My Enemies), the singer, 22, was visibly irked during an interview with show host Robin Roberts as she asked questions related to his 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna. (Brown tried to move the focus back to his new record when Roberts asked about a relaxed restraining order between the former couple and other legal issues.)
PHOTOS: Chris and Rihanna over the years
After that tense chat, TMZ reports that Brown flew into a rage in his dressing room -- screaming and smashing a window by throwing a chair at it. (The shattered glass was visible from outside the building at 43rd street and Broadway in Manhattan.) Brown was later photographed storming out of the studio with his shirt off.
GMA sources also told TMZ that Brown "pre-approved" Rihanna-related questions prior to his sit-down with Roberts.
After the incident, Brown wrote an angry Tweet, even mentioning Charlie Sheen: "I'm so over people bringing this past s**t up!!! Yet we praise Charlie Sheen and other celebs for their bulls**t."
PHOTOS: Infamous star mugshots
Brown quickly deleted that post, writing simply:"All my fans!!! This album is for you and only you!!! I'm so tired of everyone else!! Honestly!! I love team breezy!!"

Terrence Malick Speaks
Returning to his more genre-based roots for the first time in nearly two decades, Paul Verhoeven is finally back this year. Teaming with one of the finest actresses in cinema, Isabelle Huppert, Elle follows a successful businesswoman who is attacked and then enacts revenge in a cat-and-mouse game. While it won't get a release in France until September, and currently has no U.S. distribution, today brings the first trailer.
"I had a strong feeling with this one that I was doing something that I'd never done before, which applied when I made RoboCop," the director said last year. He added that it's "a mystery story. Part of the film consists in Isabelle Huppert's character finding out if the rapist is somebody she knows. But there are other elements in the story, about her mother and father, her son, her lover, her best friend."
It also stars Laurent Lafitte and Anne Consigny, and you can see the trailer below. Also added is the poster and images for one of our most-anticipated films of the year.
When Michelle, the CEO of a gaming software company, is attacked in her home by an unknown assailant, she refuses to let it alter her precisely ordered life. She manages crises involving her 75-year-old sex kitten mother, her imprisoned mass murderer father, her spoiled and immature son, her ex-husband and her lover, all with the same icy equanimity. This is the approach she brings to the situation when it appears that her assailant is not finished with her. As the mysterious stalker hovers in the shadows of her life, taunting her, Michelle cooly stalks him back. What emerges between Michelle and her stalker is a kind of game, a game that soon spirals out of control.
Elle hits theaters in France on and is awaiting U.S. distribution.
Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it'd be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list.

Project Description
My client wants to purchase this template [url removed, login to view] and have it modified in exactly this way :
• Home page is "Projects"
[Projects will be sub pages, the project name is the sub menu item]
• Other page menu items include "About", "Contact" and "Blog" and in future, "Press/Awards"
• "Blog" to be auto linked to Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter feeds
• "Contact" to use a form, no email listed
• Ability to manage Projects and Blog by myself with the ability to:
o add projects
o delete projects
o edit project names, images and descriptions
o rearrange projects
o rename projects
o fully manage the blog, including the ability to edit or delete posts added automatically from other social media if it's not to my liking
It needs to be pretty much exactly like Februe's homepage [url removed, login to view] which scrolls through an image gallery, except I want that full size scaleable background gallery for every project page. Only the "About" and "Contact" pages will have an additional floating palette above a stationary background image (which would be screened say with nice pinprik black matrix or something nice like that). Here's a nice screening technique I really like: [url removed, login to view] [He also likes the screening/matrix effect on this template [url removed, login to view] - The screening is only required for those pages with text, ie About and Contact]
I don't want any pop-ups when users press a menu or project name, I want it to go straight into a full background gallery with the menu still visible.
The gallery slider should be smooth fade effect 7 secs, [url removed, login to view] long please.
I will purchase and provide the template and supply the images for the backgrounds along with a list of project names. We would expect to use Contact Form 7 for WP for the Contact Page.
The project will be hosted on my server.
You will customise the template to the above requirements

How to understand building and planning regulations
What are planning and building controls? Why do they exist? Can you deal with them yourself or is it best to ask a specialist? As with any task, you can decide for yourself when you know exactly what's involved.
First of all, it's important to understand what planning and building regulations are. It's easy to think of them as restrictive, bureaucratic tools put in place purely to thwart your ambitions. However, they're essential safety mechanisms which have been designed to protect you, your neighbours and the local environment.
The regulatory bodies will give you permission to carry out your plans unless there are very good reasons not to - in which case they must explain their decision. And if you disagree, you have the right to appeal against it.

The major reasons underlying the remarkable global rise in obesity remain unclear. While, diet composition and life-style factors such as physical activity undoubtedly have important roles in determining body composition, maternal overweight (OW) status ( BMI >25) at conception may be a critical synergizing factor. In clinical studies, we found that maternal OW status significantly increased risk of OW (i.e. the % above the 95th percentile) at 6 months of age, in infants born with normal body weights. Our overall objective is to investigate interactions in the offspring, between an obesegenic environment (consumption of a high-fat diet, HFD) and prior exposure to maternal OW during gestation. To this end, we have developed a rat model in which metabolic and endocrine abnormalities akin to obesity in human subjects were reproduced prior to conception. Exposure to maternal OW did not influence birth weight/size of offspring. However, offspring from OW dams when fed a HFD became obese to much greater extent compared to offspring from lean dams on the same diet, without changes in caloric intake. Offspring of OW rats also developed hyperinsulinemia, adipose tissue hypertrophy and showed lipogenic gene expression. Based on our preliminary studies, we hypothesize that increased glucose flux into adipose tissue and accelerated lipogenesis causes obesity in the offspring of OW dams when fed a HFD. The proposed studies are aimed at understanding the underlying differences in energy balance and insulin signaling prior to the development of obesity in the offspring.
In Specific Aim 1, indirect calorimetry will be utilized to examine if gestational OW decreases energy expenditure in the offspring.
In Specific Aim 2, we will test the hypothesis that maternal OW leads to skeletal muscle insulin resistance in the offspring, consequently increasing glucose partitioning into adipose tissue, lipogenesis and fat mass accretion. This will be addressed via hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp experiments using labeled tracers, and will reveal the status of insulin sensitivity in the individual tissues (skeletal muscle, adipose and liver) and whole-body glucose flux. Studies examining responsiveness of adipose tissue to insulin signaling via IR-PI3K-Akt to increase lipogenic gene expression and de novo lipid synthesis and will be performed in Specific Aim 3. Finally, Specific Aim 4 will employ physical activity prior to conception as an intervention and will test the hypothesis that increased physical activity (treadmill running) in the OW dams prior to conception will improve offspring insulin sensitivity and mitigate increased adipose tissue anabolism. Overall, these studies will elucidate important metabolic mechanisms in the offspring altered by maternal OW and high-fat diets, which may contribute to increased susceptibility to obesity.
Maternal overweight (OW) during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of OW in the offspring. While, the underlying reasons remain unclear, using a new model of maternal OW in the rat, we have identified that, post-natal high-fat diets significantly exacerbate development of obesity in offspring of OW rats. We will examine changes in glucose flux and the synthesis of fat in the adipose tissues of OW offspring. These mechanisms may underlie the predisposition of the offspring to gain more fat relative to muscle mass, leading to obesity. These studies will elucidate mechanisms that are altered in the offspring due to maternal OW and provide novel opportunities for intervention and prevention of obesity.

The last leg..
... most unique, fascinating, endlessly surprising place in the world becuase I'm not that well travelled, but I'd put money on it. The three days I spent there were brilliant. I even found another couple of Dali's and Picasso's on display in the Peggy Guggenheim museum. They say it's because it's had so many different global influences over hundreds of years and been the seat of huge power it's evolved the extraordinary way it has. It's hideously crowded, smelly and expensive, but it's ...
... and the GPS was set to take us by the shortest route - well, it might have been the shortest route on a map but the narrow roads in the Devon countryside slowed us down considerably. At times the laneways were just wide enough for two cars to pass - the sides of the road were high hedges with no verge.
We arrived safely in Torquay and found the Model Village. It was opened in 1962 and has been added to up to the present day. It ...
So the journey begins!
after a week long of 21st birthday celebrations, leaving dos and saying goodbye to loved ones..my journey finally begins! very emotional morning saying goodbye to mum and dad, brother and his girlfriend and my cousins..still trying to get over the fact that it's real! soo many different emotions!! excitement and nerves being the main ones! goodbye England! see you next ...
Cardiff to Plymouth
... Church. As we left this precinct we saw a sign pointing to the oldest surviving house in Plymouth, situated behind St Andrews Church so we went to have a look. The house, called Prysten House, was built in 1498 as a merchant's house and now contains a restaurant called The Greedy Goose.
Back at our hotel we checked in and are delighted to find that our room overlooks Sutton Quay an area with a marina, a number of restaurants and The Mayflower Steps.
And we are off.
