My research builds upon the groundbreaking work of scholars Dan Edelstein, Robert Morrissey, and Glenn Roe in the burgeoning field of the digital humanities. By utilizing the search capabilities offered with the digitized ARTFL version of Diderot's Encyclopédie (the masterful Enlightenment work totaling 28 volumes published between 1751 and 1772), I find that the carefully designed "macroscopic" methodology of Edelstein and his colleagues must be tempered by ongoing "microscopic" analysis of digitized source material. Thus, digital tools designed for historical research have both remarkable value and noteworthy limitations. The use of sequence alignment programs and massive online databases can yield important new insights in cultural history, but these findings must be balanced by "close" reading of documents relevant to the research question(s) at hand.

Akexander Rivera and his wife, Ileana Vidal, did business in North Philadelphia, authorities claim, but they called Tacony home. The couple are unlikely to return home anytime soon after their convictions last week on numerous federal drug charges.
Rivera (a.k.a. "Reds), 29, of the 4100 block of Barnett St., will be sentenced to a mandatory life-in-prison term, while Vidal (a.k.a. "Diana"), 25, will face a mandatory minimum of 10 years when they next appear before U.S. District Judge Juan R. Sanchez. Rivera will be sentenced on Feb. 29 and Vidal on March 2.
Rivera was convicted at trial of conspiracy, along with possession and distribution of cocaine, crack and heroin. He also was convicted of gun possession in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Vidal was convicted of conspiracy only.
Rivera led what investigators labeled the Alexander Rivera Narcotics Distribution Organization (ARDO) in and around the intersection of Indiana Avenue and Lawrence Street, as well as other areas of the city, from February 2006 to September 2010. The drug ring dealt in cocaine, crack, heroin and PCP.
An indictment released by the U.S. Attorney's Office last November named 15 additional co-defendants in the case, all of whom have pleaded guilty to various roles in the organization. Several co-defendants testified against Rivera and Vidal at their trial.
The drug ring used violence to protect and maintain its drug territory, which included vacant properties and residences in North Philadelphia, authorities said. That's where the traffickers stashed and dealt drugs to customers.
Specifically, the charges alleged that on Sept. 26, 2006, Rivera wounded an innocent bystander while engaged in a shootout with a rival dealer; on Aug. 14, 2007, one co-defendant and two others kidnapped and tortured a person who owed drug money to Rivera; and on Dec. 24, 2009, Rivera and a co-defendant hired a third person to shoot a rival drug dealer.
The indictment says authorities recovered three handguns, ammunition and more than $19,000 in cash from the Barnett Street residence, but does not state that drug transactions took place there. ••

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
1977 Recipe Book illustrated by Colleen Conroy
TRIVIA NOTE: In January, 1997, national news stories reported that Jeff Smith was named in a sexual assault and sexual harassment suit involving seven under-aged boys. Six people in the suit, said the abuse occurred while they worked for Smith at the Chaplain's Pantry, a restaurant he operated in Tacoma in the 1970s. The seventh alleged that Smith abused him after picking him up as a hitchhiker in 1992.
Comedian Jay Leno reported the story's silver lining during his monologue on THE TONIGHT SHOW - "Michael Jackson's got a new chef." When Jay heard that Jeff Smith paid three million dollars to a young boy over the allegations, he remarked "Gee, he really is Frugal. Michael Jackson paid 20 million!"
Smith's attorney denied all allegations. Ever since the story broke, Jeff Smith's TV association with PBS stations nationwide dried up and he hasn't been seen since. Retiring to private live, Smith spent his time traveling and researching a book on biblical foods. Born January 22, 1939 in Seattle, Washington, Jeff Smith (who had a heart valve replaced in 1981) died from heart disease in his sleep on Wednesday, July 7, 2004. He was 65. Smith is survived by his wife, Patricia, and two sons.

A troubling trend is emerging in the halls of higher learning. After nearly 30 years of rising African-American enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities, blacks are turning their backs on some of the country's elite institutions. At the University of California at Berkeley, 10% fewer blacks sought entry for the fall term this year than last; applications at the University of Michigan have dropped 25%. While some, such as Northwestern University, report a rise in black applicants, educators say numerous historically diverse public schools throughout the country are seeing a drop. "This is of serious concern," says William B. Harvey, director of the Center for Advancement of Racial & Ethnic Equity.
But it should surprise nobody. After all, the red flag came last June when the U.S. Supreme Court declared the affirmative-action program at the University of Michigan unconstitutional. Public schools like Michigan can consider race but, as they weigh applications, officials can't use such mechanical means as awarding extra points to minority students. So schools have restructured applications to ask more questions about family income and the sorts of cultural experiences that will enrich campus diversity. Outreach, in many cases, now focuses on income rather than race. Still, schools are struggling to battle the perception among blacks that affirmative action has been killed. And that perception, educators say, has shrunk the pool of black applicants.
But the restructuring of affirmative action isn't the only problem. The number of school reps recruiting in poorer neighborhoods has also declined sharply because state budget crunches have slashed outreach and funding programs. Moreover, blacks have been hit hard by steadily rising tuitions that are far outpacing increases in the college grants reserved for low-income students. All of this has created a "chilling effect" on black students, says Richard W. Black, assistant vice-chancellor for admissions and enrollment at Berkeley. Getting black admissions up is imperative. Here's how:
HELP WITH ADMISSIONS Universities such as Michigan and Ohio State University responded to the Supreme Court ruling by adding short essay questions to their applications. Students are asked to discuss how they can add to campus diversity or how they have overcome obstacles. Michigan is also holding seminars on what makes a good answer to the questions, educating high school counselors on how to help applicants, and recruiting more students to mentor new applicants. More schools should do that, too.
BOOST PUBLIC FUNDING California has cut school funding to the bone, forcing UC schools, for example, to hike tuition 14% this year. Reviving grants that cover enrollment fees for low-income students is crucial. At the same time, more money needs to be pumped into federally funded Pell Grants, which aren't keeping pace with tuition hikes. Without access to resources that help them attend college, say educators, blacks simply won't apply.
CREATE EFFECTIVE OUTREACH Much of Northwestern's success stems from aggressive recruiting at black high schools. While that's harder for public universities to do, schools should lean on the private sector to fund such initiatives as OSU's Young Scholars Program. It puts 120 promising low-income sixth graders on a college track. Universities also would do well to mimic a program at Rutgers University. There the student NAACP chapter took matters into its own hands by organizing a weekend-long event that allows 30 to 60 high school students to ask questions about the financial aid and admissions policies and campus life at the New Brunswick (N.J.) university. "We felt like there's a problem because people aren't coming here," says Lauren D. Byrd, a 19-year-old junior and president of the student NAACP program. "We felt it was our duty to show them what Rutgers can do for them."
Actually, Lauren, it's the responsibility of everyone -- schools, students, parents, and legislators -- to make sure African Americans don't turn their backs on higher ed.

England Men joint top after win over Wales
8 April 2014
With two wins in two and an impressive goal difference, England Men faced Wales knowing a win would put them top of the table on day four at the Commonwealth Water Polo Championships.
Wales on the other hand were without a win, having drawn their first game with Singapore and losing against Malta yesterday.
England took the lead after two minutes courtesy of Sean King. Wales' best player in the first two games, Dan Laxton, equalised moments later, forcing Andrei Iosep to bring on Joe O'Regan, Jake Vincent and Tom Curwen. The changes gave England fluidity and power going forward, putting the Welsh under real pressure.
Goals from Adam Scholefield, O'Regan and two from Curwen gave the English a 5-1 lead at the end of the first quarter.
England continued to dominate in the second quarter, increasing their lead to 9-1 before half time as they closed down all of Wales' chances.
Final Score: England 11 - 3 Wales (5-1, 4-0, 2-0, 0-2)
Wales struggled to create any real scoring opportunities during the third quarter and the period finished 11-1.
Wales' Carl Wyatt and Dan Laxton found the back of the net to win the fourth quarter, but England claimed their third win and went joint top of the league with Malta.
Final Score: England 11 - 3 Wales (5-1, 4-0, 2-0, 0-2)

Cube Entertainment Threatens Legal Action For Author Of Fake Article Claiming Trouble Maker's Hyuna Is Pregnant
(Photo : Facebook)
Executives at Cube Entertainment are fuming after a phony article was reportedly circulating online, claiming Hyuna of the K-pop duo Trouble Maker is two-weeks pregnant with her Trouble Maker bandmate Hyun Seung's child.
The lawyers at Cube Entertainment, the label that represents Trouble Maker as well as Hyun and Hyuna's other groups, the wildly successful acts BEAST and 4Minute respectively, are pursing legal action due to what they feel is clear malicious intent, according to the publication eNEWS.
"The fact that the person who spread the rumors wrote it in an article format, it's evident that the author meant to cause harm," read an official company statement from Friday.
"We plan on requesting a police investigation and will take firm legal action against this."
Formed in 2011, Trouble Maker is infamous for their risqu music videos and photo shoots. The group's sexually charged choreography and palpable chemistry has led many fans to speculate whether Hyun Seung and Hyuna are dating, a rumor they have yet to confirm or deny.
According to the website allkpop, there were two phony Trouble Maker news items, both believed to have come from the same person.
"The rumors were disguised as a news article, making it easy to accept as facts by [fans] who may come across it," a Cube Entertainment rep explained.
"They even made another [phony] news article containing a fake response from us [Cube Entertainment]. This fake agency response supposedly read, 'she's going to have the child.'"
A different Cube spokesperson claimed it was the predictably rabid media feeding frenzy that followed, before the news articles were revealed to be false that provoked the hardline response from the record label.
"As the related rumor spread, we were contacted with a lot of questions," the spokesperson said.
"We decided that we are unable to sit and watch the defamation of character of these young artists. We decided to request a police investigation."

This research aims to identify and map mercury contamination and pollutants known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) within sediment in the Mersey estuary and assess, where possible, where the pollutants have come from. These pollutants are found both at the surface and at depth in the sediment.
The Mersey estuary (north-west England, UK) has a heavily industrialised drainage basin, which dates back to the 18th century. It is approximately 5000 km2 and is widely regarded as one of the most polluted estuaries in Europe.
High concentrations of mercury (>2 mg/kg) in these sediments can be linked in part to the chemical factories in the Widnes–Runcorn area. In particular, the alkali, bleaching and detergent industries developed in this area in the mid-19th century used the Castner-Kellner process for large-scale sodium hydroxide and bleach production, which uses mercury.
This pollution, plus that from other industries and domestic coal-burning, has released many tonnes of mercury into the estuary over several decades. In addition to this, the sediments in the Mersey estuary are also contaminated with POPs from the dockyards, shipping, chemical works, oil refineries and sewage works situated in close proximity to the Mersey, its tributaries and the Manchester Ship Canal.
As sediment moves around the estuary, it accumulates in sediment sinks, which can also accommodate concentrations of various contaminants. These toxic substances can be released having a harmful impact on the ecosystem and biodiversity.
Four different methods of sampling were used: manual corer, Marlow corer, Mackereth corer and Day grab. Sampling sites in the middle estuary were accessed by hovercraft, using GPS to accurately locate each position. Shallow cores were collected by manually driving plastic tubes, fitted with a stainless steel basket core catcher at the base, into the exposed sediment.
Sediment cores and grab samples were then frozen and stored in the dark to avoid any chemical change and then transported to the laboratory. Core samples were defrosted and sampled. Grab samples were homogenised and prepared in an identical manner to the core samples. A total of 203 sediment samples were subsequently analysed for mercury content. Eight shallow cores were collected for POPs analysis.
This survey showed that mercury in sediments remain elevated (~2 mg/kg) throughout much of the Mersey estuary and that mercury is associated with the organic matter. Surface sediments showed a change from high mercury concentrations upstream and lower values in the outer estuary, in line with distance from major chemical works and the adjacent eroding salt marshes.
Mercury in surface sediments collected from the inner and middle Mersey estuary had higher mercury concentrations compared to the outer estuary. The distribution pattern can be explained in part by the presence of fine-grained muds along the margins of the upper estuary and fine to medium-grained sands, as well as gravelly sands, towards the outer estuary.
The upper metre of salt marsh sediments was most contaminated with mercury (~4 mg/kg) and represents a potential threat to near surface dwelling aquatic organisms existing in these environments. In the cores, a decrease in mercury content was observed at the surface indicating a possible recent decline in mercury contamination within the Mersey estuary since the 1980s.
The survey of surface sediments and sediment cores collected in the Mersey estuary has revealed mean PAH concentrations of 2316 µg/kg and mean PCB levels of 123 µg/kg, which reflects the industrial and urban history of the area.
In comparison to other UK estuaries, the sediments in the Mersey are less contaminated in PAHs than the Tyne and Tees estuaries but have higher concentrations of PCBs than the Humber or Thames estuaries.
This study has also shown that sediments of the inner Mersey estuary are approximately 30 times more contaminated in PCBs than the Liverpool Bay area into which the Mersey river discharges. However, no clear pattern of declining PCB concentration from inner to mid to outer estuary was observed. It is suggested that this is the result of sedimentary reworking, tidal scouring and the localised point source effects of industrial discharges.
Mercury (Hg) is one of the most important heavy metals in estuarine and coastal sediments. This is due to its toxic effect on marine invertebrates and tendency for the methyl-Hg to bio-accumulate up trophic levels, where it can enter humans via the ingestion of fish and shellfish.
Persistent organic pollutants are a suite of organic compounds which do not degrade. They can remain in the environment (e.g. the Mersey estuary) and can be transported long distances. They can be present in human and animal tissue and are thought to have impacts on human health.
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are POPs.
PAHs can come from biological, geological or combustion sources such as wood, coal or oil burning. They are also found in traffic fumes and a high density of riverside industries, e.g. chemical works, power stations, sewage works, docks, boat dismantlers, oil refineries, paper works etc.
PCBs are man-made compounds, which were widely used as plasticisers and heat-transfer fluids in the manufacturer of such products as transformers. Their use is now banned in the UK due to their high toxicity if released into the environment, but residues persist and significant amounts continue to enter estuaries, such as the Mersey, through rivers, ocean currents and the atmosphere.

What's On Your Mind? University of Texas Researchers Testing Mind-Controlled Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
The basic underlying technology at work is EEG-monitoring electrodes; a user wears a skull cap with a series of electrodes connected to it, and the whole package detects brain signals. Researchers, having identified typical brain activity patterns that people evince when they see repetitive visual patterns, use the patterns to allow them to trigger events on a device.
Credit: MIT Technology Review
Currently, they're working in the lab with a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, and with the EEG technology, they're attempting to allow users to perform typical mobile computing tasks such as launching an app, choosing contacts, selecting a song from a playlist, or turning the device on or off. According to the MIT Technology Review, so far the team has successfully demoed the ability to launch and interact with an app by focusing on a blinking icon. Speed apparently depends on the individual user, but the researchers say that its test subjects could perform an action about every five seconds and achieved an accuracy of about 80% to 95%.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
"Several years ago, a small keypad was the only input modality to control the phone, but nowadays the user can use voice, touch, gesture, and eye movement to control and interact with mobile devices," Samsung's lead researcher Insoo Kim told Technology Review. "Adding more input modalities will provide us with more convenient and richer ways of interacting with mobile devices."
Obviously, this technology has a long way to go before it can be efficient at all, let alone make it out of the lab and become generally available, but Samsung's efforts here should be lauded. Any technology that helps people overcome an infirmity is good technology.

Temporomandibular Disorders: Problems With the Disc
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
The articular disc provides a cushion between the ball and socket of the temporomandibular (TM) joint. It is very common for the TM joint to painlessly click or pop while opening or closing. These sounds are related to the ball (condyle) of the joint passing over the disc as the jaw opens or closes. Such painless noises are not a cause for concern.
As a result of joint stress or injury to the jaw joint, the disc and its band of connective tissue can become stretched out, allowing the disc to shift out of its normal position (disc displacement). As the joint moves, the disc can:
- Become stuck in front of the condyle, locking the jaw.
- Fold over itself. Sometimes the condyle then presses on soft tissue that is normally protected by the disc, causing pain and swelling.
Often treatment of a displaced disc will also help relieve the accompanying muscle tension or spasm. Splint therapy temporarily creates space between the TM joint's ball and socket, allowing the disc to gradually return to its original position.
Surgery is rarely appropriate but may be used in severe cases involving disc tearing or chronically disabling disc displacement.
The pain and dysfunction related to a displaced or damaged disc are common temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms. But not all TMDs involve disc displacement. Some TMDs are exclusively muscle-related.

text: What is the true benefit of having a Centrino mobile PC, or any other wireless-ready PC, if you have wireless access to Internet and networks but, all the holes in security are left open and are easily hacked? 2005-04-17 09-56-48 SOURCE: KevinT One of the major advantages of Centrino processor is its built in Wi-Fi capability. But it's better that you don't use Wi-Fi in your network if you don't have proper security in place. It's just the same as leaving the key of you car in the lock itself so that anyone can just turn the key & take the car. If you don't have proper security on you Wi-Fi network, anyone can use it for the Internet, and that may take a lot of bandwidth. But the major risk is that a person can easily access all your shared computers & its data. This risks all of your company data. Prakash Padariya System Engineer Accenture prakash2757 AT gmail.com www.accenture.com 2005-04-17 09-57-29 SOURCE: KevinT From the PC maker, your wireless is open, yes, for convenience. If you only use one or two of your own wireless nets, add MAC filtering and WEP and you're G2G. I have several Centrinos which I prefer for my laptops and battery savings. You have to pick and choose and be very security aware of the 'likelihood' of someone attacking you on an open wireless network if you are war driving or hot spotting.

Was it really an accident that Formula 1 racer Niki Lauda suffered at the 1976 German Grand Prix or was it perhaps a skillfully aimed blast from Thor's mighty hammer? Following the UK spot that was launched online this week, we now not only have the first domestic trailer for Ron Howard's upcoming true-life racing drama Rush (courtesy of Yahoo!), but also a full gallery of new stills released by Universal Pictures. There are 12 images and all, some of which you can scope out below. For the rest, and to see each one full size, be sure to head over to our database. A return to drama after directing 2011's The Dilemma, Howard's new film tells the story of the legendary rivalry between Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) as they aimed to take over the world of Formula 1 racing - until Lauda was involved in a horrific crash that nearly killed him. Despite his accident, however, which left the Austrian driver with severe facial burns Scripted by Peter Morgan, who previously worked with the director on the 2008 acclaimed drama Frost/Nixon, the new movie also stars Olivia Wilde and Natalie Dormer. Look for the film in theaters on September 20th. This certainly looks like a return to Oscar season form for Howard, but does it excite you and make you want to see it in theaters? Could this be either Hemsworth or Bruhl's first chances to pick up an Academy Award nomination? Let us know your thoughts about the new trailer and images in the comments section below!

Monks are OP in running away.
Roll, roll, roll your monk,
Gently down the map.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Survival is but a roll
Mistweaver is just as any other healer so yeah...Not a problem if you have +3 people!
As enhc, I haven't felt pressured by a WW monk yet, at all in PVP. Feels like they do next to 0 damage.
Easiest class I've faced yet. And I'm a friggin rogue. I should be a faceroll for most classes....
all i know is that they stun me when i hit them with charge stun, like everyone else
little do they know, their fear and inability to face the warrior without blanket ccing him only feeds his rage bar
feel like they suck worse than rogues lol
I'm not going there to die. I'm going to find out if I'm really alive. I have to.
I am not an expert in PVP, but so far with the little PVP i had they are not overpowered in damage, but they are kinda overpowered in movement, since if they want to disengage, they can create huge gap (dont know exactly, but im guessing like 150 yard gap) in a second.
So if you dont kill it with a stun+burst when he is low and he wants to get the hell out of there he will.
Well, can't say, only faced them at levels 20-68, and i killed them all with my warrior tank...
to be honest, this isn't unexpected, paladins and shamans both have poor histories with their dps specs being pvp viable.
i find mistweavers frustrating to kill due to their mobility and control, they have a lot of potential as healers, i think monk/mage/rogue might be a really really solid comp given the weaknesses of priests currently and the monk replicates a lot of the priest's offensive control. i think few people are playing them because other healers are better (coughdruidsshamanscough) and that people have still not quite figured out how they synergize with other classes.
windwalkers i think are undertuned i have no played one personally but from what i hear their mechanics are a bit clumsy to use.
i personally think blizz intentionally undertuned monks because of how powerful death knights were.

As a WW Monk with almost full Dreadful Glad, I can tell you, Monks are sub par in PvP. Brewmaster is even worse than WW, don't even bother with them. They have extremely shitty PvP survivability compared to the other tanks (especially the OP Blood DKs)
Never tried out healing Monks, heard they do better than WW and Brewmasters, but that's not saying much.
WWs have ZERO CC breakers. I think they are the only melee DPS spec in the game with 0 cooldowns to deal with stuns and fears. If you get caught up in one (which is about 5 times per fight), then you're pretty much fucked. Don't bother relying on that 2m PvP trinket, because you'll only be feared/stunned again 2 seconds after you use it.

UPDATE: I'm happy to let you know that we are offering "3D Interior Design Service" all across India. Affordbale Service which will Enable you to control Time & Money. Validate all your Renovation Ideas before you start Spending Money 👍
Home owners have lot of thoughts and concerns when they start thinking about Home Renovation. Of all the biggest one is "How much will it Cost?"
Frankly, there is no easy way to know exact numbers until you show your place to Contractor or Interior Designer, who works out a plan and then starts making Estimate.
It depends on the requirement and options Home Owners select. There is more then one way to do certain thing. Choose POP on wall; create False ceiling; Plane corners of POP; Flooring can be done in several style. How many Electric points are needed in all. In kitchen same idea applies for platform , Tiles; Bathroom you select items of different price range, some of these are commode seats, taps , cocks; In bedroom again Flooring and Ceiling.
Also read previous post where we explained that approximate cost could be Rs 500 per sft in Economic Home Renovation and then same thing if done in Deluxe way would cost Rs 1000 per sft.
These prices are for city like Mumbai but any other city Pune Bangalore Delhi Chennai etc would fall somewhere near same price. Only thing that differs is labour cost. Cost of Building material mostly stays within small range.

Just how much Steve Marlet's likely departure influenced Fulham's awful first-half display is open to debate but they never recovered from a spell ofembarrassing Everton domination in which Rooney's skills and pace were influential as Gary Naysmith, David Unsworth and Steve Watson put the hosts in total control.
But the second period was nowhere near as one-sided and Fulham scored through substitute Barry Hayles, created a hatful of chances and but for Everton goalkeeper Richard Wright they could even have nicked a point. Rooney was back for his first start of the season, and his influence was immediate. Fulham left out Marlet, who is almost certainly on his way out of the club with Marseille the expected destination. Before the goals deluge, Everton full-back Unsworth almost conceded a dreadful own goal as he passed back to Wright without looking to see the goalkeeper was stood just behind him.
The pair watched the ball roll wide of a post. Everton struck instantly from that moment of embarrassment as Watson won possession and fed Rooney. When the ball came back to Naysmith just outside the box, he rifled a low drive inside Edwin van der Sar's left-hand post. Fulham's reply came from a Junichi Inamoto drive which cannoned away off Alan Stubbs and a Steed Malbranque shot then struck Unsworth on the six-yard line. The ease with which Everton were able to run at and expose Fulham's back line was emphasised when Rooney surged from halfway and found Naysmith charging up in support with a fierce drive which flashed over the crossbar. A minute later Everton cut Fulham to pieces again. Rooney's cross-field ball was flicked to Watson by Naysmith, and ended up being fed into the path of Unsworth galloping into the box on the left. The big defender unleashed a low drive inside the far post for the second. Fulham responded with a Malbranque cross which Louis Saha fell over, unmarked, on the six-yard line.
That just about summed them up. Everton were clearly in the mood now and from a well-worked free-kick 25 yards out, Stubbs' rising drive hit the top of the post before bouncing to safety. But on 35 minutes, Fulham's defence was caught out again as the hosts grabbed their third. Naysmith headed down a free kick, Rooney forced Alain Goma into an error before trying to screw the ball in from almost on the byline. Watson was there anyway to blast the ball home from a couple of feet. Fulham replaced Sylvain Legwinski with Hayles at the break, and the striker's first involvement was a a tackle and a booking on Naysmith.
Whatever rookie boss Chris Coleman said at the break, Fulham at least emerged for the second half prepared to run and tackle. And Wright was finally being tested. He saved full length from Malbranque and then turned away substitute Malik Buari's header. Rooney almost got himself on the scoresheet when Watson's fierce midfield challenge on Goma sent the ball straight into the young striker's path. He raced down the left and tried to chip van der Sar but the Dutchman was able to pullthe ball down to safety. Wright had to save twice more from Malbranque and Hayles before Fulham scored. It came on 69 minutes when Hayles turned in the box to fire home Malbranque's right-wing corner. The tiring Rooney was taken off in the 74th minute as Nick Chadwick came on, but still Fulham dominated play to the increasing distress of the home support. Naysmith missed a sitter but the chances were mainly coming Fulham's way, Saha heading wide on 77 minutes and then Boa Morte's clever chip on 82 minutes had to be clawed out from under the crossbar by Wright.

All three Indian Land schools were locked down Tuesday, Jan. 29, after a man was seen near campus carrying what was thought to be a gun, but turned out to be a popular recreational replica.
Lancaster County School District Safety Director Bryan Vaughn said the incident happened about 2:20 p.m. just as students at Indian Land Elementary School were being dismissed for the day.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
Hello All,
I have a small non-technical question to ask everyone about your experience in developing BlackBerry applications (Sorry if the question seems wasting your time).
Can anyone provide an overview about the development time required, complexity of development, handling the issues etc, for a BlackBerry Java application, when compared to development of an Android or an iPhone application for a 2 yrs experienced person, who is solely depending on BB docs, support forums and search options for reference.
Your views would be very much helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you so much simon_hain. I was also spending more time on UI itself and face issues also in UI, just wanted to know views from other developers as well. So that was very helpful answer
I don't have any direct experience on other mobile platforms with the exception of BB10. But I have ported some non BB apps to BBOS, so have seen other people develop in other platforms.
For me, the issue with BB programming are the gotchas, things which are potentially simpler on other platforms (including BB10), but can bite hard on BBOS. In my experience these are (sort of in order of importance/difficulty):
a) UI - other platforms provide external UI definitions, like XML classes
b) Networking - other platforms just have one method to send/receive data
c) Event Thread - other platforms hide this better
d) Location FInding - like networking, other platforms have just one method to get a location
e) Permissions - other platforms do this prior to installation
f) Problem reporting - especially in the Field - other platforms have things like Bugsense
g) Third party libraries - these seem to be more available on other platforms, for example Android where they can get at the hardware.
But my experience suggests of these, by far the most time will be spent on the Ui, because of the different interactions that need to be supported (trackpad and touch screen) and the different form factors (screen size, shape and resolution) that need to be supported.
So when developing for BB, I suggest that you focus on:
a) Flexible Ui Design - make sure your Ui is developed with BB in mind, look at the different screen sizes and resoltuions and make sure that the Ui is designed to look OK on all these. Simple expample, expect to scroll on landscape format screens.
a) Application design - try to separate the UI from the business logic. I personally find it difficult to implement, but I always keep the data out of Ui classes.
Still haven't answered your question have I! Well in fact I think that if you have a good understanding of BlackBerry and have developed on it for 2 years, then you will know how to cope with the issues (b) - (g) above. Then I susggest that you can create an application just as fast as on any other platform. It just won't look as good. So Simon's +20% is the time spent fine tuning the UI.
People will argue with this, complaining about how complex the APIs are etc. but to be honest, in my experience when developing you spend more time doing other things like developing test cases, testing, documentation and so on, and these apply to other platforms too. What proportion of the time in a project do you actually spend coding?
Just my opinion.
Hello peter_strange, most of my time is spent on UI design and coding. Since I develop apps for different customers, they usually compare BB apps with other platforms regarding network speed, features supported, UI design and overall development time required as well. UI designs are not mere simple basic components, with minimal customization, they are most probably complete customization, which require handling of different interactions. Most important problem is not a problem as though, I have no in-person assistance(guidance) but now having 2 yrs of experience I don't depend on that. But sometimes due to deadlines/pressure I would be badly in need of advice and discussions. Sometimes for issues which I face, I won't get answers even after searching, which again consumes time and some turn out to be bugs in the platform, which customers don't accept.
So I just wanted to know how to handle these sort of issues on my own, so that I can show some improvement in my development skills. I thought may be people @forums can help me out.
Thank you for giving a detailed view on BB development, it would be very helpful for me.

Cape Cod Dreaming by the Beach - Perfect for families to share!
Relax by escaping to our newly refurbished and decorated classic Cape Cod cottage, just a short walk, 4/10 of a mile, to sandy Pleasant Street Beach on Nantucket Sound. It is walkable to Forest Street and Red River Beaches. Swim, collect shells with the kids, fish from the jetty, or just take in the breathtaking sunsets. Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac in a tranquil neighborhood, our cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is the perfect family getaway. The level backyard is a safe place for children to play, and our large deck is the place to be for the evening barbecue or cocktails with family and friends.
Historic downtown Chatham is Cape Cod at its best with tasty restaurants, unique shopping, and fabulous art galleries. Downtown Harwichport is just as close, and offers wonderful shopping, restaurants.
We accept credit cards!!!
The newly created Cape Cod Rail Trail bike path is a quick bike ride away and provides miles of riding fun and beautiful scenery, while connecting many Cape Cod towns for you to explore.
Make this the year that you enjoy Chatham for the first time or return to create new memories that last a lifetime.
We accept credit cards!!!
This is our second year staying at this cottage but our sixth summer going to Cape Cod. We upgraded for more space but got a lot more than that.
The cottage is very comfortable and nicely decorated. It has all of the modern necessities. Everything you need in the kitchen, washer and dryer, cable tv and wifi. It has a beautiful deck in the back and a nice flat and comfortable area in the yard to play and relax. The hammock is great and the outdoor shower is amazing.
The owners are great to work with. Very responsive and sent back my deposit right away.
It's on a nice side street that has little traffic and is in a nice quaint area of chatham. It is very close to the beaches, and 10 minutes from downtown.
This cottage is everything that is mentioned on this website. You won't be disappointed! We love it!
This has been our first experience in the Cape, so we did not know what to expect. We found the house precisely as described, clean, cozy and quaint, with lots of space and light, fully furnished and supplied with anything you might need, including wine glasses!.
there are few beaches nearby, 2 within walking distance.
the yard is clean, with a spacious deck and patio furniture if you like to dine outdoors; my daughters and I truly enjoyed shower outside - what a perfect thing after a day at the beach. The house is located in a quaint neighborhood, with slow traffic, so it's a dream for the bikers and the kids playing.
Overall, we loved the house, and we definitely plan to go back next summer.

He was last seen in Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela and this time once again he would be playing a character that would be hatke from the rest of the actors
Abhimanyu Singh's upcoming flick promises to expose the racquet of godmen prevalent in India. The makers of the film are of the opinion that India can arguably be named the land of the babas as there are numerous devotees who would blindly surrender themselves to godmen.
After having been praised for his role in Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Abhimanyu will be playing the role of Global Baba. Talking to a leading daily the dashing dude says, "It's a satire on all the babas, who manipulate people in name of religion. You can call it an expose. We have taken references from real-life babas and you will see their traits in my character. Though the appearance wouldn't replicate any particular baba, the traits would easily remind the viewers of the respective godmen."
Now we can only wonder which baba would be the target of this film. Watch this space to find out more on this.

Goldsmith Takes the Helm as New City Attorney
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
Aired 4/19/09
Tom Fudge : This past election had some exciting races for sure. But none of the runs for public office in San Diego generated much of it. Unless, you consider the race for San Diego City Attorney. Not normally a contest that leads to much, if any, fascination. But former City Attorney Mike Aguirre was so accomplished at inspiring and irritating people that his race for re-election was hard to ignore.
Aguirre lost, having alienated nearly all of the groups that have the ability to sway a local election. And he's been replaced by Republican Jan Goldsmith, a former Superior Court Judge and former member of the California Legislature.

Would-be visitor frustrated
Your airport in Castlegar is "serviced" by Air Canada, with three daily flights from Vancouver.
In winter most of these flights offered are canceled daily. We tried for three days to get to your airport during Christmas season to spend valuable time with family and two excited grandchildren.
We have asked Air Canada by email why they offer a product they cannot deliver in winter time. No reply so far.
Do you have stats on the number of flights canceled each year and what it is at Castlegar airport that makes flying in and out impossible?
You must have very many unhappy, stranded visitors in your region that will tell all their friends and family not to bother coming to your town by air. Not good for tourism and business, I know.
Please explain to many of us why this is happening.

B.C. Lower Mainland
Ed. note
This is a situation all-too-familiar here in the city with the unfortunate nickname "Cancelgar."
To simplify things, it's a basic issue involving terrain, weather and visibility. New software is apparently available which can greatly increase the capability of planes to get in and out of West Kootenay Regional Airport, and the City of Castlegar has made the offer of some $300,000 toward buying it as part of its June 2012 pitch for WestJet service. This would make travel to and from Castlegar more predictable and reliable.
We await word on whether WestJet will choose to service Castlegar and area. It may be forthcoming as early as January, 2013.

late Old English turnian "to rotate, revolve," in part also from Old French torner "to turn," both from Latin tornare "turn on a lathe," from tornus "lathe," from Greek tornos "lathe, tool for drawing circles," from PIE root *tere- "to rub, rub by turning, turn, twist" (see throw (v.)). Expression to turn (something) into (something else) probably retains the classical sense of "to shape on a lathe" (attested in English from c.1300). Related: Turned; turning.
To turn up "arrive" is recorded from 1755. Turn-off "something that dampens one's spirits" recorded by 1971 (said to have been in use since 1968); to turn (someone) on "excite, stimulate, arouse" is recorded from 1903. Someone should revive turn-sick "dizzy," which is attested from mid-15c. To turn (something) loose "set free" is recorded from 1590s. Turn down (v.) "reject" first recorded 1891, American English. Turn in "go to bed" is attested from 1690s, originally nautical. To turn the stomach "nauseate" is recorded from 1620s. To turn up one's nose as an expression of contempt is attested from 1779. Turning point is attested by 1836 in a figurative sense; literal sense from 1856.
mid-13c., "action of rotation," from Anglo-French tourn (Old French tour), from Latin tornus "turning lathe;" also partly a noun of action from turn (v.). Meaning "an act of turning, a single revolution or part of a revolution" is attested from late 15c. Sense of "place of bending" (in a road, river, etc.) is recorded from early 15c. Meaning "beginning of a period of time" is attested from 1853 (e.g. turn-of-the-century, from 1921 as an adjectival phrase).
Sense of "act of good will" is recorded from c.1300. Meaning "spell of work" is from late 14c.; that of "an individual's time for action, when these go around in succession" is recorded from late 14c. Turn about "by turns, alternately" is recorded from 1640s. Phrase done to a turn (1780) suggests meat roasted on a spit. The turn of the screw (1796) is the additional twist to tighten its hold, sometimes with reference to torture by thumbscrews.

A severely burnt Dunedin man wants to thank those who helped him as his skin melted.
Shannon Taylor, 22, was in the back yard of a friend's house in Port Chalmers working underneath a Ford Falcon station wagon with the motor running.
He said he had incorrectly wired the fuel pump, which caused a spark, ignited fumes and created a "flame ball" at the rear of the car and he had caught fire.
"I rolled out and I ran up and down the path trying to put myself out."
The screams of his friend's girlfriend alerted two people to act and "save my life".
After hearing the screams, Port Chalmers Pool supervisor Lyndon Johnston emptied a fire extinguisher on the station wagon and a neighbour, Tracey Loach, put Mr Taylor in a cold shower.

He had severe burns and nerve damage to the left side of his body but the cold shower stopped more skin melting.
"It could have been a lot worse. I could have lost a lot more skin."
The second-degree burns had left no skin on his left arm and hand, which could be permanently damaged and require skin grafts, he said.
"I can barely sit up or walk. I can't do anything."
In hospital, he was woken by nightmares of "flashbacks of flames".
He had fallen out of bed three times yesterday attempting to walk and lacked the energy to attend a meeting with his pregnant partner and midwife.
Mr Taylor hoped to be discharged from hospital for the birth of his second child in 10 weeks.
He was philosophical about the "freak accident".
"I would have done things differently but you can't turn back time and what's happened has happened and there will be a lot of recovery."

Family woes have not kept Prince Jackson from being a regular 16-year-old -- albeit one with really good connections.
As his younger sister recovers from a suicide attempt on June 5 at UCLA Medical Center in L.A., the son of Michael Jackson has been spotted out and about several times.
On Tuesday, he had girlfriend Remi Alfalah on his arm for the premiere of the new season of "True Blood" at the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. Prince kept things casual in jeans, while his date rocked a fancier LBD.
[Related: Red Carpet Photos From the 'True Blood' Premiere]
He was also seen shopping with Remi at Barneys New York on Friday and taking in a mixed martial arts event at UCLA's Pauley Pavillion -- on the same campus where Paris is located -- on Sunday afternoon.
The teen did take time to visit Paris at the hospital last week, even though in the weeks leading up to Paris's suicide attempt, the siblings had reportedly argued over her recent desire to spend time with their mother, Debbie Rowe.
Prince, Paris, and the entire the Jackson clan have had a particularly trying time recently.
Besides the situation with Paris, they've dealt with the start of the wrongful death lawsuit that Prince and Paris's grandmother, Katherine Jackson, has brought against concert promoter AEG Live. The Jackson matriarch claims that the company didn't properly investigate Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter because of the drugs he administered that caused Michael's death in 2009. Both Prince and Paris are expected to testify in the case.
On top of that, the family will be commemorating the fourth anniversary of MJ's death on June 25.
They must feel like the oldest teenagers ever.

"We're eating our seed corn."
That's what a fellow teacher said to me in the mid-1980s. A few years earlier, Oregon, where I was teaching, had passed a property tax limitation law, and schools were beginning to feel the pain.
New teachers were warned they may not be rehired. Budgets for textbooks and educational materials were slashed. Principals stared at the floor as they refused teacher requests for a few dollars to fund worthwhile classroom projects.
"Seed corn" refers to the sacks of kernels farmers store away for the next planting season. They know if they eat or sell the seed, even for the best of reasons, they put their futures in peril.
If we eat our educational seed corn by cutting school funding still further – we're already 49th in the nation – we'll be balancing the state budget by placing our children's futures, and therefore the future of Arizona, in jeopardy. Yet that's what the Republican-majority state legislature looks like it's planning to do. It's a jaw-droppingly foolish idea.
If we continue to slash our already meager education budgets whenever we run low on state funds, we'll to launch into a self-perpetuating Cycle of Ignorance.
Here's how the Cycle of Ignorance works. It begins with the drastic underfunding of K-12 schools. Students who might otherwise succeed, if teachers had the time and resources to help them, will end up failing and dropping out. It will be difficult or impossible for them to find work that pays a living wage, so they will become financial burdens on the state. Too many of them will end up in our costly prison system. What we "saved" on the front end by shorting their educations will be spent many times over, both in state funds and in the deplorable loss of human potential.
Lots of students who don't drop out will sleepwalk through class and end up with little to show for their years in school but a high school diploma. These graduates are only slightly better off than the drop outs and often have similar futures.
Many students, of course, will graduate high school with the ability and desire to continue their educations. But unaffordable college tuition combined with limits on enrollment will cut their dreams short. Most likely, they'll end up earning less than they would have with more education. They'll pay far less taxes over their lifetimes, so state revenues will continue to fall.
Out-of-state businesses that require a highly educated workforce won't even consider Arizona when they think about relocating. They know they won't find the skilled workers they need, and they'll shudder at the thought of sending their own children to Arizona schools. Some of our best in-state businesses will make the same calculation and flee. The result will be fewer high paying jobs – there goes more income tax revenue – and fewer businesses paying taxes as well. Our tax base will shrink as our budget problems increase.
That's our likely future if we slash our K-12 and higher education budgets even further than they've already been cut. Too many adults will be on welfare or in prisons, while too many others will be in low paying, dead end jobs. Too few job-creating, tax paying businesses will set up shop in Arizona.
Our quality of life will be significantly worsened, and we won't have the most vital raw material needed for a sustained economic recovery: well-educated workers. All these problems will mean our tax revenues will continue to dwindle, so we will be forced to … I'll bet you saw this coming … make even more cuts in education.
And so the Cycle of Ignorance perpetuates itself, spiraling downward every time it goes full circle. And it begins with the ignorance of anyone in government – elected official or bureaucrat – who believes we can cut school funding without dire consequences.

In the fight for quality drama there can be only one winner; Doctor Who! Enter the arena, Steven Moffat; who has retaliated to claims by erudite sparring partner Stephen Fry of the 'infantilism' of British TV- by defending Doctor Who as a show for the whole family.
Moffat responding to claims by Fry that shows like Doctor Who and Merlin were 'Chicken Nuggets' at the BAFTA screening of The Pandorica Opens, said that the high end show could not be compared to 'junk food'.
"The comparison with chicken nuggets? This is very, very high-end, very, very high-quality show. It has absolutely no comparison with junk food at all and Stephen knows it. That's Twitter he's thinking about! Stephen loves Doctor Who so don't worry about it."
"Doctor Who was designed specifically to be a family programme. That's what it's for. It's the junction between the children's programmes and the adults' programmes. It's the one that everybody sits and watches."
He also joked that Fry was just trying to sound 'grown up'.
Stephen Fry criticised the BBC at the Annual BAFTA Television Lecture yesterday, commenting that the old Auntie Beeb should make adult dramas that were not 'pompous and 'academic' but that 'surprised' and 'astonished' audiences.
Which in Moffat's and most Who fans sounds vaguely like a certain 13 part series that airs on Saturday nights.
"It's a rather brilliant idea. Why don't they make a television programme that everybody wants to watch? We should do that more often. It surprised me that it took me until I was 47 to be working on a show like that.â€
Fry was scheduled to write an episode of Who for the second series but the un-produced script was dropped and replaced by (2006 episode) Fear Her, the lowest ranking episode of the new breed of Who in the Doctor Who Magazine poll of the 200 best episodes – coming in a lowly 192nd .
Fry also played the role of The Minister of Chance in 2001's Seventh Doctor Webcast series Death Comes to Time.
The Pandorica Opens airs this Saturday at 18:40 on BBC 1 and BBC HD.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar feels that the national cricket team is making a fool out of itself in the ongoing one-day series against England in UAE.
"They have made a fool and joke out of themselves in the first two matches. And if they do not improve quickly I fear they could lose the series 4-0," said Akhtar after Pakistan suffered second straight defeat in the four-match series on Wednesday.
Captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who led Pakistan to a stunning 3-0 whitewash against England in the Test series, has also come under fire for his captaincy not only from Akhtar but also former captain and coach Waqar Younis.
"Misbah needs to be more strict with the players. The way Imran Farhat, Umar Akmal and Shahid Afridi got out today, I think Misbah needs to tell them what is expected of them as senior players.
"When Umar was batting and trying needless strokes, what was Misbah doing? He should have spoken to him. If Misbah doesn't get strict and press the red button I don't think we can win this series," Akhtar insisted.
Akhtar also felt that Misbah needed to be more aggressive as captain in the one-dayers.
"We have the best spinners in the world but they were not turning the ball even in day time. I think instead of containing roles Misbah needs to be use them to get wickets. He should be attacking more with his field placements and bowlers."
Waqar had also echoed similar views after the match, urging Misbah to be more proactive.
"He has to realise that he can't play the waiting game in one-day cricket. It worked and works in Test cricket but you can't sit around waiting for things to happen in one-day cricket. I think he needs to attack more," Waqar said.
Pakistan now trail the series 0-2 after defeats in the first two matches and Waqar said, "I also feel too many changes in the team after every match does not send out the right message."
Akhtar and Waqar also believed that the experiment of playing Umar Akmal as a wicketkeeper was a big mistake on part of the team management.
"I don't know what they are thinking. But I would always play a specialist keeper. Adnan Akmal is the best choice and he is no mug with the bat. You can try Umar in T20 cricket but in 50-over format you need a proper keeper," Waqar said.
Akhtar said that Pakistan needed to play a specialist keeper and at same time search for a stumper, who can bat as well.
"In the past we have had Moin Khan and Rashid Latif who were good keepers who could bat well. I think it is a mistake going in without a regular keeper," he said.
Both the former greats also criticised the attitude of the batsmen in the ODI series, pointing out that most of the players had been around for years and needed to shoulder responsibility.
"I don't know what was the hurry today...we were going at a run a ball and the batsmen got self destructive. They need to understand someone has to carry the responsibility of playing through the innings. It was pathetic batting from our players," Akhtar said.
He also said Pakistan's inconsistency in performance stemmed from a lethargic attitude and being lazy.

From Animal Advocacy's Facebook page:
Some time ago Panchita was caught up in a net, which left deep cuts all over her body. She managed to make it to this hotel where animal advocates nursed her back to health for 3 months. Every day she returns to rest after being out to sea. She is now pregnant and expecting within a month.
Panchita, you definitely deserve some R&R after your struggles!
A kitteh named Sugar survived a 19-story fall from her owner's Boston apartment.
Sugar landed on a small patch of mulch, which helped lessen the impact of the fall. Animal Rescue League of Boston assistant manager Mike Brammer said Sugar's "flying-squirrel"-like ability to glide also helped her survive the harrowing ordeal.
Sugar's hoomin, Brittney Kirk, who was tracked down via a microchip implanted in her cat, says she left the window open so that Sugar wouldn't get too hot. "[I]f there were a cat to fall 19 stories and to be fine, I think it would definitely be Sugar, because she's a pretty special cat," she said.
Special, indeed! Thank goodness kittehs have nine lives!

Glucagon |
Glucagon has a major role in maintaining normal concentrations of glucose in blood, and is often described as having the opposite effect of insulin. That is, glucagon has the effect of increasing blood glucose levels. Glucagon is a linear peptide of 29 amino acids. Its primary sequence is almost perfectly conserved among vertebrates, and it is structurally related to the secretin family of peptide hormones. Glucagon is synthesized as proglucagon and proteolytically processed to yield glucagon within alpha cells of the pancreatic islets. Proglucagon is also expressed within the intestinal tract, where it is processed not into glucagon, but to a family of glucagon-like peptides (enteroglucagon). Physiologic Effects of GlucagonThe major effect of glucagon is to stimulate an increase in blood concentration of glucose. As discussed previously, the brain in particular has an absolute dependence on glucose as a fuel, because neurons cannot utilize alternative energy sources like fatty acids to any significant extent. When blood levels of glucose begin to fall below the normal range, it is imperative to find and pump additional glucose into blood. Glucagon exerts control over two pivotal metabolic pathways within the liver, leading that organ to dispense glucose to the rest of the body:
Glucagon also appears to have a minor effect of enhancing lipolysis of triglyceride in adipose tissue, which could be viewed as an addition means of conserving blood glucose by providing fatty acid fuel to most cells. Control of Glucagon SecretionKnowing that glucagon's major effect is to increase blood glucose levels, it makes sense that glucagon is secreted in response to hypoglycemia or low blood concentrations of glucose. Two other conditions are known to trigger glucagon secretion:
In terms of negative control, glucagon secretion is inhibited by high levels of blood glucose. It is not clear whether this reflects a direct effect of glucose on the alpha cell, or perhaps an effect of insulin, which is known to dampen glucagon release. Another hormone well known to inhibit glucagon secretion is somatostatin. Disease StatesDiseases associated with excessively high or low secretion of glucagon are rare. Cancers of alpha cells (glucagonomas) are one situation known to cause excessive glucagon secretion. These tumors typically lead to a wasting syndrome and, interestingly, rash and other skin lesions. Although insulin deficiency is clearly the major defect in type 1 diabetes mellitus, there is considerable evidence that aberrant secretion of glucagon contributes to the metabolic derangements seen in this important disease. For example, many diabetic patients with hyperglycemia also have elevated blood concentrations of glucagon, but glucagon secretion is normally suppressed by elevated levels of blood glucose. |
