description: June 24, 2010—Wildlife Conservation Society researchers at the Bronx Zoo found that captive cheetahs were attracted to Calvin Klein's "Obsession for Men" fragrance. That and other scents were tested in the wild to see if big cats would approach camera traps used for behavioral studies.

transcript:
Scientists have discovered a few big cats in captivity have an 'obsession' for a well-known men's cologne.
A study conducted at the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo indicated that among a number of perfumes and colognes tested, Calvin Klein's "Obsession for Men" was the top choice of interest to the two cheetahs at the zoo.
Other fragrances were tested with some other big cats at the zoo.
Pat Thomas, General Curator, Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo:
"Some would encourage this really powerful cheek rubbing behavior where these big cats would literally wrap their paws around a tree and just vigorously rub up and down. Sometimes they would start drooling , their eyes would half close, it was almost like they were going into a trance. And they would spend minutes rubbing up and down an object that we would sprayed with certain perfumes or colognes. We knew that cats would respond to various perfumes and colognes because it's sort of 'in zoo lore' ... we've know about that for years."
Smell is an important sense for all cat species, and investigating scents is common, especially those in an artificial setting which lacks the variety of new and old scents found in a natural environment.
Pat Thomas, General Curator, Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo:
"Big cats engage in cheek rubbing behavior to either deposit scent, or pick up scents from other cats,  there's very likely a territorial component to that, enabling them to mark territories, and there's some evidence that they're also picking up reproductive cues from members of the opposite sex."
WCS researchers conducted testing at zoos with tigers, and later with cheetahs.
Man-made and natural scents are used as 'olfactory enrichment' tools at the zoo.  The scents are sprayed inside animals' enclosures to keep the animals active and engaged, both for their mental and physical well-being and for the viewing public's benefit.
SOUNDBITE: Pat Thomas, General Curator, Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo.
1:27 clip 1 "but it can also be used to aid in field research.  You can apply scents to camera traps, to induce the target animals you're looking to photograph close to cameras, so you can get an idea of the species that are in the habitat you're studying."
In the wild, WCS says its researchers deployed Obsession for Men and other  fragrances at camera traps in Guatamala.  They say it has enabled them to get more precise estimates of jaguar populations in one of the most important jaguar refuges in the Americas: the Maya Biosphere Reserve.
Pat Thomas, General Curator, Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo:
"Perfume companies closely guard their ingredients and formulas. So, we don't know really what's in a given perfume."
The knowledge about wild animals' interest in scent has also been used in setting up 'hair traps' where scientists can collect hair follicles from some species of wild cats  for DNA research.  When the animals rub tree bark, for example, they leave behind hair, which scientists can use to extract DNA from the hair follicles to identify diversity in the animal's population.
Loss of habitat due to human agriculture and development and illegal killings has caused several wild cat species to become endangered. Thomas is mindful that some people could mis-use this knowledge about scents, but he pointed out that "Obsession for Men" was NOT the best performing fragrance in the field, and declined to reveal which perfumes or colognes were the best lures for all cats in the wild.
In fact, a similar experiment conducted in the wild found that big cats did not express much interest in the scents offered.

Scoring was retarded, you could've watched the fight from the moon and seen it was 30-27,
You haven't seen the fight???? Why comment then?
Officials put themselves in that position and get paid for it, getting criticised when they get it wrong comes with the territory.
Rob McCrum, Pro BW. www.bjjscotland.co.uk
Rewatched it last night, still saw the Che v Riddle fight as 30-27 Riddle, so did the lad I watched it with...
However the one funny thing, which does in a way reflect the old - depends where you are sitting / viewing from - rewatched the Te Huna v Jimmo fight - on the night sat cageside I had it 10-9 Jimmo first round then 2 rounds 10-9 to Te Huna, didnt say anything to my mate but he scored it as 10-9 Jimmo first but 10-8 Te Huna in the 2nd round - also, having seen it from a different angle, I could kinda see where the 10-8 came from, Jimmo in the first landed the big kick and some GnP but the GnP was sporadic and not brutal, where in the 2nd Te Huna absolutely battered Jimmo for the 2nd half of the round, very dominant etc, as my mate mentioned if those kind of blows had been landed whilst the fight was standing it would be a 10-8 no problem.....
So, maybe the judge who gave Te Huna the 10-8 had the ideal view to see Te Huna smashing Jimmo, hence the 10-8 that seemed a bit off at the time?
Think thats the kind of thing that does show how hard the judges have it, I was there and from my angle the GnP from Te Huna didn't look as brutal as it did when watching it back with a clearer view of the action....
I think you need to see either fight before commenting on them though.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Ok watched the fight and as I expected I agree that Mills as James put it was wrestle fucked.
still doesn't change my view of things though. I watched the fight from my comfy chair on my big screen TV with multi camera shots. The judges had none of these. If you look at the score cards, judges Chatfield and Harris only disagreed on the result of one round rnd3 and Harris and Watts disagreed on rnd1, there isn't that much to separate them.
one thing is very clear to me, three judges sitting in three separate positions around a cage with three different views came up with three different decision. The system works, they all saw a different fight.
mid way through rnd3 there was a point where Riddle is in half guard on top of Mills, from the camera angle you see his right elbow moving up and down and a fan can assume that he is raining blows to the body, Mills is clearly throwing elbows to the body and leg of Riddle. Now take the camera down about a foot to the level of the judge and its a different story, first even if he can see the arm movement from Riddle the judge can not assume anything, he can see the blows from Mills so that's what he scores.
I can see where the results came from and imagine the judges for the most part sat there thinking I can't see a fucking thing here, in the end it was the right decision that came through so happy days. For what's worth I had it 29-28 Riddle, I don't think he did enough to take the first, I was very close though.
As I said, I was cage side, scored it from the view I had there 30-27 but from a different viewpoint - i.e TV, I still scored it 30-27. I did however change my mind on the scoring of the Te Huna fight having seen different angles.
Riddle dominated that fight as much as I wanted Mills to snot him. Though Mills scissor kick was rather sweet to say the least.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
There's getting a different score in a tight fight that could be scored either way based on the fairly subhective hudging criteria and there's being plain wrong.
That fight was 30-27 Riddle all day every day and to score two rounds to Mills is unacceptable.
Agree that I can't see 2 rounds to Mills, like wise I don't see all 3 going to Riddle either. Just my opinion.
Think the judge on watching the replays will know he made an error. Think there should be more ex fighters judging fights like ricardo almeida in the ufc surely this would be good for the sport. Was wondering if anyone knows the background of the judge who scored for mills. Again not a witch hunt on the judge just wondering??????

Family Says They Did Tip Gay Server, Didn't Leave Note
After a gay server at a New Jersey restaurant said a customer denied her a tip and wrote her a hateful note on the receipt, a local family contacted NBC 4 New York and said their receipt shows they paid a tip and didn't write any such note.
Dayna Morales, a former Marine and a server at Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater, posted a photo on Facebook earlier this month, showing the bill with a line through the space for a tip. The photo of the receipt showed someone had written, "I'm sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle."

Student suspended, kicked off football team for bullying after writing poem for class assignment
On Friday, at Rittman High School just outside of Akron, Ohio, junior Nick Andre's composition class assignment was to write a poem about something that makes him mad.
Andre, who plays for Rittman's 1-7 football team, chose to vent his anger about the team's disappointing season, reports Cleveland Fox affiliate WJW.
"I got told to write a poem and I did," the defensive end explained.
Here's a snippet of the poem, entitled "Stupid":
Losing season
Nonstop passes from best friend to best friend
Continuously doing what doesn't work
Another few lines go:
Dropped passes but yet still the superstar
Yeah, right
Where's my scholarship?

J. Cole dedicates video to slain seven-year-old
Listen to J. Cole on iHeartRadio
J. Cole is speaking out against the war on drugs in the music video to his TLC-assisted single "Crooked Smile."
The music video - which debuted on Wednesday - depicts a police raid on J. Cole's house that ends in tragedy when his little sister is accidentally shot by an officer. As the video fades to black a mournful rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" plays, then a message flashes, dedicating the video to seven-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones.
Back in 2010, Aiyana was shot and killed in Detroit in a law enforcement raid similar to the one depicted in the video. J. Cole concludes the video by asking people to "please reconsider your war on drugs."
Meantime, Roland Lawrence of the Justice for Aiyana Stanley-Jones Committee says J. Cole's efforts will hopefully "call us all to the table" to address the issue of injustice in America and around the world.
Watch the video for "Crooked Smile" below:

Need suggestions for dealing with 9 year old who thinks he's a teenager
HELP : ) Ok my 9 year is about to become a big brother again. I have concerns as he is constantly acting out. Not in a physicial or abusive way just the way that he talks back and the sarcasm that comes out is getting to be a bit much. I have tried taking away things. His response was I don't care (secretly I know he does but still hard to deal with that answer) The last couple of months have been hard between homework issues ( smart boy but hates homework), being cranky with his younger brother etc... I thought I had a few more years before I had to deal with what I remember as teenage years. Any suggestions on creating a bit less stress around my house would be great. He's a good kid just need some advice for the days when he is like this because not much that I say or do matters right now to him.
17th June 2014 11:33 PM #2
Hi mommytobe3,
Firstly, you are not alone - lots of parents go through a 'teenage problem' time earlier than expected. This is particularly the case with bright child who might develop quicker emotionally than their peers. It does sound this could be the case with your son.
How do you think he finds school? Is his homework interesting/ challenging enough? If not then you could talk to the school about meeting his interests/ intellect better or perhaps you could informally extend his homework questions/ studies yourself. I wonder if this would help him to become more motivated in this area.
Coupled with this your son is adapting to the idea of having a new baby - perhaps he has been told by well-meaning adults that he needs to be the grown up brother and he is not a little child anymore? He still needs to know that he is your little boy and he is not being 'pushed out' by the new baby's arrival. What does he say about the new baby? I would encourage you to organise weekly time you/ his dad can spend with your 9 year old one-on-one doing something he really enjoys (it needn't be expensive - spending time looking at a map together or taking photos together etc) so that he can look forward to this quality time.
In terms of resources for parenting teenagers gently and effectively, Dr. Sears has some excellent advice such as this article 8 Ways to Raise a Moral Child.
Also have a look at When Toddlers Become Teens by Little Hearts Gentle Parenting for an inspiring approach.
Let me know your thoughts.
Warm wishes,

Hi there,
After adding / editing an entry on my database, I'd like a "success" message to appear on the results page.
Is there some PHP code that can check the condition of whether the previous action performed was adding / editing an entry on the database? (Obviously the results page should only display the message if this is the case but not at any other time).
In my PHP index the 'add' and 'edit' code both end with the "header('Location: .');" function so that it runs back through the index to the code that compiles data and redirects to the results page. If you 'include' the results page at the end of the add/edit code, it causes undesired multiple submissions of the new entry each time you refresh the results page.
I've got a feeling I might need to use 'sessions', which I've yet to get to grips with...
Any ideas gratefully received (but let me know if you need more info in the meantime),
function success($success = false){
if($success == true){
// show your message
return false;
Sorry, could you expand on this please. I'm guessing this function would be used as an include but I can't see quite how it would tell whether data has been added to / edited in the database and then be able to use that information as a conditional factor. And I can't see that this is a built-in function either.
I do it with a session variable. If you don't use sessions yet then it's as easy as calling session_start() in most (or all) of your pages. Then just after inserting data into the database do something like this:
$_SESSION['message'] = 'Data added successfully';
And on the subsequent page read the value once, display it and delete so that it won't appear again:
if (isset($_SESSION['message'])) {
echo $_SESSION['message'];
I often use this approach (in a more elaborate way) and it works well. I run the code above on every page so that I don't have to remember about it and just store the message into the session whenever I need to display it to the user.
Great - thanks so much. I thought that may be the case and found another site which also advised this course of action.
Sorry, I know I'm being immensely thick, but what would be the correct command to display the SESSION variable statement?
I enter this directly after the insertion of data into the database via the form (I assume I only need to use the "session_start()" function here and not again after redirecting to the next page?):
$_SESSION['message'] = 'Data added successfully';
header('Location: .');
Then this after it has been redirected to the last part of the index:
if (isset($_SESSION['message']))
echo $_SESSION['message'];
$pagetitle = 'Results';
include 'results.html.php'; //RETURNS TO RESULTS PAGE
And this is how I am attempting to display it on the results page:
<?php echo ($_SESSION['message']); ?>
But am getting this error message (referring to where I am trying to display it):
Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION
I've tried a good few things now and just can't seem to get it to work. I realise I am echoing it twice (in the index and on the actual results page) and that I will therefore likely need to change the "echo" statement set just before the session is unset, but I'm not sure what I'd need to change it to.
You need to execute session_start() on every page that wants to use the $_SESSION variable.
Ah, knew I was being idiotic - thanks!
I have got it working if I use the below snippet of PHP directly on the results page - is this the best way?
Or is there a way of doing it using the code in the index (and keeping the whole start/if/unset session protocol there) so that you only need to output the one variable on the results page?
I'd imagine you'd just need to use a slightly different command in place of echo, just to re-state what the variable is after checking the session is open, so that it can then be echoed out on the results page, but I can't figure out what that would be.
if (isset($_SESSION['message']))
echo $_SESSION['message'];
It all depends on how you structure your code. When I create a php application I always execute all page requests through a single index.php and keep my html in separate files - templates. This keeps most of my code clean. I start the session and read the message in index.php so it is done on every page, I pass the message to the template. Then the template just checks if there is any message passed and displays it if necessary. In a simplest way it would look like this:
// initialize template object
$tpl = new Template();
if (isset($_SESSION['message']))
// pass the message to the template
$tpl->assign('message', $_SESSION['message']);
// decide what template to display based on the URL, for example results.tpl
$tpl->setTemplate($_GET['page'] . ".tpl");
// perform various necessary tasks on this page which are performed in their own php files
include $_GET['page']. ".php";
// display the template
And then results.tpl:
<? if(isset($message): ?>

<?=$message ?>

<? endif; ?>

Some other page elements...

This is a very simplified example, don't use this code as it is insecure where it uses $_GET directly in include. Even if you don't use any template engine and only use includes it is good idea to use a separate file for html - or at least split the php file into two parts - the first one does any php logic that is necessary and the second displays the page.
If you don't use a single index.php then you can put all the code that has to be executed on each page into a separate file and include it in every php page that is executed.
These are only ideas - how you structure your code is up to you but try to keep it organized as it will be helpful in the future
Cool, thanks.
If you don't want to use session variable then you can use
$msg = 'Data edited successfully';header("Location: index.php?msg=$msg");exit();
and your listing index.php page you can use
if(isset($REQUEST['msg']) && $REQUEST['msg'] != NULL){echo $_REQUEST['msg'];}
and if you don't want both query string msg message or session variables then post the successfully message using curl post method. There are so many options there. Ajax can be also used.
I wouldn't put the actual message in the GET or POST variables. Both can be modified by the user, and displaying any unfiltered user input on your page is dangerous. At the very least, it leaves your page vulnerable to XSS attacks. What happens when a user goes to index.php?msg=some malicious javascript code hijacking cookies or something? An attacker could mass email people a link to your page with msg=whatever and do all kinds of nasty things.
If you want to use the GET or POST variables to display error messages, think of something like this instead:
if ((isset($_GET['msg'])) && ($_GET['msg'] != null))
switch $_GET['msg']
case '1':
echo "This is message #1";
case '2':
echo "This is message #2";
case '3':
echo "This is message #3";
Good point about not putting msg directly into the url. But I also think that msg shouldn't be put into the url even if it is encoded into 1, 2, 3 as shown above. My reasoning is that a url is an address that should point to a certain content - and the message actually is not the content of the page, it's just a temporary message that says what action has just been performed for the user and it doesn't really belong to the content of the page at the given url. Url's can be bookmarked, can be sent to others via email, can be put on other web pages, etc. - and if a user bookmarks a url which ends with ?msg=1 then every time he visits this bookmark he will see the message displayed while of course the message is about something that occurred long ago and is not relevant to this visit and describes something which is not true and can be confusing. Therefore, I believe it's best to use sessions for this purpose whenever possible.
At worst, if I really could not use a session for some reason I would encode the message behind some random generated key that would expire as soon as the message has been displayed. The message would be stored on the server in a database or even plain text file. For example, the script that has just made some change in the database creates a file with a random name 028f9faab6c5100b4bf37818b2.txt and with a content 'Data added successfully'. Then the user is redirected to the next page with the url ending with ?msg=028f9faab6c5100b4bf37818b2. The script on the next page reads the message from the file and deletes the file. So if someone bookmarks this page then despite the ?msg= parameter present he will not see the message any more, which is good.
Yeah, I agree with you. I prefer to use sessions as well and don't really think that things like messages/notices should be in the GET variable. I just wanted to make sure he was aware of some of the security implications involved with the method blogaddition suggested.
Thanks for all this guys. The book I'm learning from is pretty thorough about avoiding putting sensitive material in the GET and POST variables, so I've opted just to check/echo/end a session using a snippet of PHP within my results page, which seems to be the simplest thing and keeps a clean, safe URL.
Ideally I like to keep all the PHP code in a separate index file, but having just this one piece can't hurt.
Thanks again,
I'm having a few problems sending a variable via a session.
$_SESSION['message'] = 'THIS ATTRACTION HAS BEEN EDITED:' . ' ' . $attraction_name;
header('Location: .');
Display page:
<?php session_start(); if (isset($_SESSION['message'])) { echo $_SESSION['message']; unset($_SESSION['message']); } ?>
Using the above, if the attraction 'St. Paul's Cathedral' ($attraction_name) was used (having first been sanitized with mysqli_real_escape_string for entry into the database), the echoed output via the session would be:
'THIS ATTRACTION HAS BEEN EDITED: St. Paul\'s Cathedral'.
Obviously it is not being converted by htmlspecialchars (hence the backslash) but I can't figure out where I can use that function. I've tried using it in various places and even tried creating a variable to be used specifically for the session (all to no avail) i.e.:
$attraction_name_session_output = htmlspecialchars($attraction_name, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
It also obviously works if I use the below, but I would have thought that poses a security risk given user-generated content is being run through a session? Or should I not worry given this is not entered into the database?:-
$_SESSION['message'] = 'THIS ATTRACTION HAS BEEN EDITED:' . ' ' . $_POST['attraction_name'];
Any ideas? Thanks!
Sorry, of COURSE it needs to be output as a variable converted via htmlspecialchars rather than $POST['attractionname'], so ignore the last suggestion of the above.
I now realise it's something to do with magic quotes but have the appropriate code included at top of my controller so not quite sure what is causing the problem...


text: After five seasons of living off MTV's wallet, Jenelle Evans is going to have to get a real job. I know, I know. If you are an employer would you hire her? Nope. No one will. Do you think she has been saving those MTV paychecks for the past five seasons? Nope. She probably thinks she can make a living making appearances at clubs. Umm, no. She will be in jail way too much for that. Oh, or in court trying to get custody of her latest child back after she loses her child after she gets arrested. She will probably try and land another reality show or shoot porn. I actually think the rest of the cast from that season will be just fine and move on with their lives. She won't and will be in the headlines for a few more years as this all plays out and which jail she will call her new home.

Hello all- Miss Jess here that's my teacher name- I apologize for the slightly belated post- my computer is acting up. Someone needs a time-out!
I teach a beginner modern class for seven to ten year old in the 'Horton Style'. You may have heard of the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre company- they are probably the most famous devotees of this technique (as opposed to other styles of modern from pioneers such as Martha Graham, Erick Hawkins, or Merce Cunningham who have their own ways of moving and specific dance vocabulary)
Speaking of vocabulary: I was 'quizzing' my little students on names of steps and the name of the famous teacher whose style we are following.
Miss Jess: What is the name of the man who made up these steps? (The answer is 'Lester Horton'. )
My kids: 'Lentils Hummus!?'
Isn't that a healthy twist of word play? I wonder, if I ever become a famous teacher and my name becomes morphed into snack titles, what would I be?
Jessica Ruhlin: jambalaya Rhubarb! Jello Ramen!
What a legacy I'm going to leave.
A less-amusing teaching moment came the other day in an at-risk school where I teach a mix of modern, jazz, and hip hop to second and third graders. One of my second graders said, 'Miss Jess, it smells like weed in the bathroom'.
It makes me upset that a second grader knows what weed is, let alone can identify the scent of it. It did in fact reek of the reefer so I went in and sprayed some perfume in the air to try to mask the smell.
I wish I could make life and school better, safer, and more pleasant for all of my students. I would want it to be as magical as Hogwarts. If I could, I would concoct a potion like 'Amortensia' from Harry Potter- the famous love potion, which is specifically pleasing to the individual's tastes- turn it into an air-freshener and douse the hallways with it. Harry for instance, smells: the woody handle of a broomstick (quidditch), a flowery scent associated with the Burrow (Ginny), and his favorite dessert- a treacle tart.
So here's the formula:
1. The smell of an item used during a favored activity
2. A loved one/ or place of loved ones
3. Favorite Dessert
I would smell: My stinky disgusting ballet shoes, weed and crayons from a school where I teach, and baklava.
Mmmm mmm mmmm. That's the smell of love. What's in your bottle?
Until next time- your tiny dancer- Miss Jess

Conjugate Heat TransferLuke T. Gritter, Jeffrey S. Crompton, Sergei Yushanov, and Kyle C. Koppenhoefer
AltaSim Technologies
Columbus, OH
This is an application brief describing the concept of Conjugate Heat Transfer, which is important in many industrial processes, such as quenching.
In this brief, they simulate the heat transfer with and without phase transformation to analyze the rate of heat dissipation with respect to the flow conditions of the coolant media. The fluid flow conditions could then be modified to produce a more regular distribution of heat extraction in a 3D quenching model. This allowed them to stipulate quench conditions for maintaining a uniform temperature gradient, resulting in a more homogenous micro-structure within the final component shape, while reducing residual stresses in the component.

The UFC had another big cull this week and cut a few Brits as well as some big names.
Is it getting to the point now that Dana will ditch anyone who doesnt win or is it just lads who have lost in 'boring' fights?
Is it now win at all costs or does he still like a good split decision tear up?
Im sure he does, (and bonus's seem to point towards this), but if you lose the aforementioned tear up and then your next fight, there is a good chance you would get cut so has it become saftey first on the big show?
Its a long hard route back to the UFC if you get cut
Thoughts people...

Jones is actually moving up to heavyweight he said in a recent interview and also mentioned fighting Cain.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared today that partially hydrogenated oils, the primary source of trans fat in processed foods, are not "generally recognized as safe" for use in food. The agency is moving to ban the artery-clogging fat in the American diet, a move it said could prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths from heart disease each year.
Trans fats, found in processed foods like crackers, cookies and pizza, are considered harmful because they increase risks for heart disease by raising bad cholesterol levels and lowering good cholesterol.
FDA's proposal is subject to a 60-day public comment period. If it becomes final, partially hydrogenated oils would be considered food additives and could not be used in food unless authorized.
The ruling would not affect naturally occurring trans fat found in small amounts in certain meat and dairy products, FDA said.
"While consumption of potentially harmful artificial trans fat has declined over the last two decades in the United States, current intake remains a significant public health concern," said FDA commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D. "The FDA's action today is an important step toward protecting more Americans from the potential dangers of trans fat."

I read few threads about this problem. And try all .zip compressed software like: winrar, winzip, send to compressed folder in windows 7, but it doesn't works.
Is there a way that i can upload my items to graphicriver? Thank you,
Oh I don't know about this problem. Didn't happened with me lately. Is that a browser issue or simply a bug?
It happens when you try to upload something else (not .zip indeed) to the "preview image set" field. If you decide to upload that set (which is not so smart for this option will never come back) don't forget: your set has to be zipped.

If you have been stented with METAL stents can you have an MRI done???
yes you can. there also seems to be a bit of confusion over whether you can have a resection following insertion of a metal stent. My Dad had an MRI and a resection after having a metal stent. Surgeons views differ, we were fortunate to find a highly skilled and experienced liver surgeon.
Yes we were originally told that if my dad had the metal stents put in he who never be able to have surgury. We have heard other wise and are are currently seeing a new surgeon to see what he thinks. I don't think he would even be looking at my dad if he didn't think surgury was still possible.
Also we found out that the stents are titanium a nd MRI friendly! Whew thats a relief because we really want another MRI done CT scans are just not cutting it!!
Thank you Jules

Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that travels throughout the body in the blood. It has many important functions and is used by all of the cells in your body. It is part of the outside layer of cell membranes and helps in the production of vitamin D and hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
Cholesterol comes from two sources. Our liver produces it, and we obtain some cholesterol in our diet from foods like meat and dairy products.
High cholesterol
Your liver makes most of the cholesterol you need. This guide is primarily about a problem that millions of people have, which is excess cholesterol floating around in their blood. (Healthy and unhealthy cholesterol levels are defined in Step 5, Cholesterol Testing.)
There are steps you can take to keep your cholesterol under control. Starting at about age 20, all adults should get a blood test on a regular basis to see if their cholesterol levels are in good shape.
When there is too much cholesterol in the blood, the excess can build up on the inner walls of arteries throughout the body, forming scar tissue and plaque (fatty deposits in the arteries). This build-up of plaque is referred to as atherosclerosis.
The plaque deposits harden and narrow the wall of the artery, reducing or stopping blood flow. In addition, the hard and inflexible artery may tear. The body forms a blood clot to try to repair the tear, but the clot may block blood flow too.
When blood flow is blocked because of narrowed arteries or a clot, serious tissue damage can occur. The result can be a heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular problem.
Watch an animation showing how plaque buildup and blood clots can cause a heart attack.

ONTARIO - A stolen semi-truck led law enforcement on a chase this week that reached speeds of 80 mph on local streets before its driver was captured with the aid of a police dog.
Albert Charles Strong, 32, of Pomona was arrested after the Wednesday chase that started in Ontario and ended in Pomona, police said.
Strong was arrested on suspicion of felony evading and possession of a stolen vehicle.
"Given the size of the vehicle and that it's a big rig, driving at that speed on surface streets definitely is dangerous," Ontario police Sgt. David McBride said.
Ontario police officers received a call at 8:18 p.m. from a motorist who spotted a stolen semi with no trailer attached heading north on Archibald Avenue.
McBride said the caller knows the owner of the rig and recognized the Freightliner. The semi had been stolen Dec. 31 in Ontario.
Police officers caught up to the semi near the corner of Mission Boulevard and Grove Avenue but it sped away.
The semi was driven west on surface streets before stopping at Towne Avenue and Philadelphia Street in Pomona.
Strong then jumped out of the tractor and fled, according to police.
Ontario and Pomona police officers and San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies surrounded the neighborhood.
After searching homes for nearly an hour, police officers found Strong in a motorhome in the 2700 block of Dickerman Place, near his residence.
A Pomona police dog bit the man before he was taken into custody.
"It looks like it was relatively minor injuries," McBride said.
Strong was taken to a hospital for treatment. He was later booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.

Utah continues to face the powers of the Pac-12. This time, it is all about golf.
The Utah men's golf team heads to Los Angeles to compete in the 54th Annual Pac-12 Conference Championship, which begins Monday at the par-70, 7,236-yard Los Angeles Country Club.
Five Pac-12 teams are ranked in the top 10 nationally, led by defending conference champions and No. 1-ranked California. The Golden Bears are joined in the top 10 by No. 4 Washington, No. 5 UCLA , No. 7 USC and No. 9 Stanford.
The first two rounds begin Monday at 9 a.m. (MDT), followed by the third round Tuesday. The final 18 holes will be completed Wednesday. Six golfers from each school will compete with the top five individual scores from each round comprising the team score.
In 2012, Ute freshman Myles Sullivan tied for 27th and led the Utes with a nine-over par 293 (76-73-72-72). Sullivan has missed the 2012-13 season with an injury.

Rising Oil Prices: It's About More Than What You Pay At The Pump
For many Americans, U.S. oil dependence has become a concern for reasons ranging from climate change and environmental protection to national security and the economic impact of higher gas prices. But there are other important impacts of our oil dependence, including how foreign oil contributes to the U.S. trade deficit and how rising oil prices decrease American jobs – both particularly salient issues on the current U.S. political agenda.
A recent article from Daily Finance shines light on the 2010 trade deficit, more than half of which is from petroleum-related products. In 2010, the U.S. petroleum-related trade deficit was $256.9B, which represents a 29.6 percent jump from the 2009 petroleum trade deficit. This rise is largely due to increased prices, as the consumption of petroleum-related products in the United States grew by only 1.9 percent from 2009 to 2010 while the price per barrel of oil grew 31.1 percent to $74.66. An issue currently receiving a lot of attention in Washington, the $61B worth of cuts to the national budget sought by the U.S. House of Representatives, is equal to only one fourth of the country's 2010 petroleum-related trade deficit.
Numbers that large can be hard to put into perspective, so let's look at how this affects the average American. The graph below shows the U.S. petroleum-related trade deficit per capita (left axis), which is closely related to oil prices (right axis). In 2010 the petroleum-related trade deficit per capita was $832 and has ranged from $600 to $1200 in the past several years. This translates into each American household sending roughly $2,155 out of the U.S. economy in 2010 to pay for oil.
Rising oil prices not only increase the trade deficit, they decrease the number of jobs in America. As energy prices rise, businesses and consumers must spend more on energy and thus have less to spend elsewhere. In his presentation at our recent conference on state and federal roles in climate policy, Mark Doms, Chief Economist at the Department of Commerce, explained that when the price of oil goes up by just $10 per barrel, it translates into a loss of tens of thousands of jobs per month, or up to a quarter of a million U.S. jobs per year. Instead of losing jobs in order to maintain our use of oil, we should focus on creating jobs by investing in domestically produced alternative fuels and vehicles.
In June 2008, oil prices spiked to $145 per barrel, and Americans paid for it at the pump as gas prices reached $4 per gallon. We could be headed into a similar situation, as oil prices rose above $105 per barrel earlier this month and are expected to continue to rise in 2011 and 2012. Because we rely on oil, a resource that is concentrated in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries or OPEC, we face oil prices that are much higher than a competitive market would yield. This makes U.S. gasoline susceptible to price shocks, and American consumers pay more at the pump than they would in a competitive market.
Here we have highlighted two other important reasons why Americans should care about rising oil prices: they increase the U.S. trade deficit and can decrease domestic jobs. As oil prices continue to rise, these negative economic trends will also worsen. In order to mitigate the impacts of rising oil prices, we need to work towards a clean energy economy and promote the use of domestic alternative fuels and energy efficiency. This would decrease our oil dependence, making the United States less susceptible to rising oil prices while also creating more jobs here at home.

From the Associated Press:
Four sea turtles are back in the open ocean after being restored to health with help from the South Carolina Aquarium.
The Herald of Rock Hill reports that the turtles were released at the South Carolina coast Saturday as a crowd of well-wishers cheered them on.
The aquarium's sea turtle rescue program admits 20 to 30 sea turtles each year. It has rehabilitated and released nearly 130 sea turtles and is now treating 11 patients, staying an average of nine months.
The turtles released Saturday include a 70-pound juvenile loggerhead found by canoers stranded on a sandbar near Fripp Island in June.
Another was a 9-pound juvenile Kemp's ridley sea turtle, the most endangered species that was found stunned by cold near Cape Cod, Mass.

and if so can u change the red color to bright green
thanks in advance
How does this post fits into tag of bt3 boot help.as its not belong to booting problem and don't suggest people to edit according to your likings as this is completely useless demand.second that is not a fancy distro like windows filled with crap graphics,crashing apps.its great pen-testing distro made after so much efforts and hard-work.and for your password problem install it on hdd then change the default password with the hard one.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

2001 Nissan Maxima Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2001 Nissan Maxima based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
One or more wires in the engine wiring harness may break at the harness bend near the right strut tower. Symptoms include: Check Engine Light illumination, rough idle, drivability problems, and/or an inoperative air conditioner. Any broken wires will need to be repaired.
The ground inside mass air flow (MAF) sensor can corrode and possibly cause drivability problems. The corrosion is enough to affect the sensor data but not enough to create a trouble code. Diagnosing this can be difficult because it won't always illuminate the Check Engine Light.
Software/programming updates to the Engine Control Module (ECM) are available to help solve some issues with Check Engine light illumination.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate indicating a primary ignition signal fault. Many times the cause is an ignition coil(s) that has failed. The problem in the coil causes the spark energy to feedback through the wiring harness into the other coils. If this is not repaired, it can damage the other coils (blistering on the coils may be seen).
The AC system may blow warm air due to refrigerant loss caused by a leaking low pressure AC hose. These hoses commonly develop a leak at the hose crimp connection.
Oxygen sensor failures are common due to fluid leaks from the power steering pump. The power steering pump typically leaks directly onto the sensor and causes the wiring to fail. If the leaks are not repaired when the oxygen sensor is replaced, the sensor will fail again.
The idle speed control motor may fail and possibly damage the engine's engine control unit.
If the power steering pump develops leaks, it can drip onto the lower control arm bushing causing the bushing to deteriorate. A knocking noise will be heard when driving over bumps and it may become more difficult to control the vehicle.
The crankshaft angle sensor may stop functioning. Failure of the sensor may cause an inability to regulate the engine's timing, causing the car to drive poorly or fail to start.

Liberty Wins Double Overtime Thriller Against Winthrop, 12-11
Morgan Becker's sudden-death goal in the second overtime period gave Liberty a 12-11 win over the host Winthrop Eagles on Sunday afternoon at Eagle Field. The victory secures a top-four finish in the Big South Conference for the Lady Flames and a berth into the conference lacrosse championship, which begins on April 26.
With the win, Liberty improves to 8-8 (4-2 Big South) overall on the year. Winthrop falls to 9-7 on the season and 3-3 in conference clashes.
Winthrop scored a trio of quick goals to open the contest. Claire Feeney notched the first two goals for the Eagles off of assists from Danielle Ellis on both plays. After having her first shot attempt turned away by Liberty goalie Kristen Masullo, Winthrop's Logan McCarthy scooped up the rebound and whipped the ball into the back of the net to put the Eagles on top 3-0 with 25:50 remaining in the opening stanza.
The Lady Flames' Amber Nichols put the visitors on the scoreboard, firing a shot into the top of the goal off of a free-position attempt at the 23:14 mark on the first half. Just under five minutes later, Liberty's Jen Moyer also scored on a free-position attempt to pull the Lady Flames within one at 3-2.
Winthrop's Krista Frowein scored to push the home team's lead back to two at 4-2 with 11:30 left until the halftime break.
With under 10 minutes to play in the first half, Masullo turned away a shot by the Eagles' Shannon Gallagher and the ball was scooped up by defender Chloe McIntosh. The Lady Flames worked the ball up the field to Kacie Fogle. The sophomore raced past the Winthrop defense and bounced a shot under the stick of goalie Camille King, making the score 4-3 in favor of Winthrop.
Liberty tied the score with 4:39 remaining in the opening stanza. Sam Struss circled the back of the net and delivered a pass to attacker Kallie Britton in front of the net. The Liberty freshman received the ball and flicked it into the goal, evening the score at four apiece.
The Eagles notched a man-up goal with 2:30 left in the half to take a 5-4 lead into the break.
The Lady Flames tallied a quick goal with just over a minute elapsed into the second stanza. Candice Parsons split the Eagles' defense and fired a shot into the top of the net to even the score at five each.
After Winthrop went back on top with a goal at the 26:44 mark of the second half, Liberty once again tied the score a mere 38 seconds later. Nina Dunay assisted on Nichols' second of three tallies during the contest.
Gallagher and Feeney notched back-to-back two scores to put the Eagles on top, 8-6, with 19:45 remaining in the contest.
Beginning at the 18:21 mark of the second stanza, the Lady Flames reeled off three consecutive goals to take their first lead of the contest. Struss tallied the first goal, before Jen Freymond tied the game with her 22nd score of the year. Morgan Becker put the visitors on top 9-8, scoring her 23rd marker of the season off of a free-position attempt with 14:24 left until the final horn.
In a game full of momentum shifts, Winthrop jumped back in the lead with two scores, the second of which came with 8:42 remaining in the contest.
The Lady Flames tied the contest less than a minute later as Nichols registered her third score of the game and 12th of the year. Liberty took the lead with 4:31 left in the final half. Struss found the back of the net on a free-position attempt for her second marker of the contest.
With less than a minute showing on the game clock, Winthrop's Gallagher scored off of a helper from Alyssa Blevins, sending the match to overtime with the score tied at 11.
During the first overtime, Liberty tallied two shots, but could not put it in the back of the net. Winthrop registered its lone shot on the final play of the period, but Gallagher's attempt sailed high, sending the game into the second overtime.
Gallagher grabbed the draw control to begin the second overtime. The Eagles' attacker promptly turned the ball over and it was scooped up by Struss with 2:38 remaining in the period. After a shot by Struss sailed high, the Lady Flames ended the game as Becker lined the ball past King, giving Liberty the 12-11 victory.
For the contest, Winthrop outshot the Lady Flames, 35-28, and controlled 18 draws to the visitor's nine. Liberty held the edge in ground balls, 20-14, and caused turnovers, 8-7.
Masullo finished the game with 11 saves in between the pipes for Liberty, while King stopped four shots in the loss.
Liberty will play its final regular-season contest of the season on Saturday at Longwood. Game time against the Lancers is scheduled for 1 p.m.

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer
MARYSVILLE — Marysville Middle School made changes in the way students are taught and it's showing up in test scores.
The state annually recognizes the top 5 percent of public schools making academic progress. Statewide, 381 schools received Washington Achievement Awards this spring, including 29 schools in Snohomish County.
The awards recognize general excellence, good test scores in reading, writing, math and science, improved graduation rates, notable progress in large populations of students from low-income families and in schools where the gaps in achievement between disadvantaged students and their peers are closing.
Marysville Middle School got its award for narrowing that gap.
The majority of the school's 865 students are from low-income families. About 40 percent are minorities.
In 2009, only 51 percent of the Marysville Middle's eighth-graders met state standards in reading, the lowest score in the school district. By 2012, 71 percent of eighth-graders met the reading standards. That's a 20 percentage point increase. Likewise, in math, the scores went from 33 percent of eighth-graders meeting state standards in 2009 to 60 percent in 2012, an increase of 27 points.
During the same time, the average scores in the district went up only 3 percentage points in reading and 12 points in math. Statewide, the average was a loss of .3 percentage points in reading and a gain of 5 points in math.
Marysville Middle School Principal Susan Hegeberg is adamant that her teachers "don't teach to the test" to get those results.
Instead, Hegeberg said, it's a matter of focusing on getting kids up to state standards in a rigorous academic environment that includes extra math and reading classes for those who need it. Lessons are made relevant to the students and critical thinking is encouraged. Teachers collaborate on curriculum projects and student behavior problems. Above all, the teachers have a dogged, parentlike concern for students.
The staff at Marysville Middle has worked very hard, said Assistant Superintendent Gail Miller.
"The award for closing the achievement gap is, I believe, one of the most difficult to get," Miller said. "This kind of progress requires the efforts of every staff member to support a school-wide focus on achievement. The entire community should be very proud of this continuing success."
Dana Wojcik has been a science teacher for seven years. She previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry. In her classroom, she calls her students "scientists."
"They take that seriously because they aren't mimics who copy and memorize information. They are mapping the universe and figuring out their gene pool. They absorb the information and come to their own conclusions," Wojcik said. "What we study is real and pertains to their lives."
Tyler Mann teaches language arts. Standardized tests are not scary in this school because the students focus on reading and writing all the time, Mann said.
One of his classes is titled Literacy Lift. The students started the year reading anywhere from a second-grade level to a fifth-grade level. Despite the differences in abilities, the students study the same topics. They read a lot of nonfiction, history and science.
"The school got the award because we read all the time, every day," said student Kailea Warouw, 12. "We challenge ourselves. We get better."
Robert East used to offer science and math to gifted students. Now he teaches a "second dose" math class. East talks about baseball game statistics in order to engage kids who struggle, and he got the kids to learn fractions by helping them make flowerboxes.
"We use math to build stuff," said student Angel Reyes, 12, who made two large planter boxes that are connected by a bench. "It's better than doing math problems from a book."
Working with disadvantaged children is about social justice, East said.
"Many of the teachers here are first-generation high school and college graduates," he said. "We know that learning is about perseverance. And if we don't get to these kids now, it will be much harder for them to break the cycle of poverty."
School volunteer and parent Sandy Leerhoff has watched the improvement at Marysville Middle School.
"The achievement award is well-deserved. I know how hard these teachers work," Leerhoff said. "One of most important changes the school made was starting what they call the Power Period. This advisory time has made a huge difference."
During the first 25 minutes of each day, students get help to finish their homework. They make up tests, organize their work binders and generally get extra attention.
"It's a time when kids take ownership of their work under the teacher's watchful eye," language arts teacher Che-Mai Gray said. "They know I am going to be on them like a mom. I push them to work harder because I care and because failure is not an option. The students know we have their backs."
Gray and her teaching partner Karin Hoover have spent all of their 13-year careers at Marysville Middle. They, too, have seen the progress of the past few years.
"We also got to this point because we are creative and we like to have fun with the kids," Hoover said. "We are generous with praise."
Principal Hegeberg said the job to get scores up at Marysville Middle isn't complete, but she hasn't needed a new staff to offer a new approach at her school.
"In our society we need to build our teachers up," Hegeberg said. "At this school, the teachers have many gifts and talents. We have no money for special programs, but our teachers are allowed creativity and so we work in the arts and other subjects as part of the curriculum."
Eighth-grader Shawn Burton agrees. This week he created a 3-D model of an airplane on the computer. He already knows he wants to go into computer engineering.
"We got the achievement award because the teachers care about the students," Shawn said. "They know what the students need. They want to bring us into the real world."
