H.S. Roundup: Beach Channel Kicks Adams From Top Spot
Two of the better Queens' soccer programs have acknowledged that it will come down to their matchups this season that will decide the PSAL Queens B1 division crown.
Adams and Beach Channel had played to a 1-1 tie on September 15 but Dolphins midfielder Dewey Johnson wasn't happy with the result. It wasn't due to how the team played but for the senior, the appearance in that game would be quite brief.
It was not to his liking however as Johnson's challenge on Adams midfielder Fernando Rubello resulted in a high kick to the chest and incurred a red card. Beach Channel was down one man for the rest of the game and Johnson, watching idly by on the sidelines, was itching to make a contribution the next time.
Almost playing like man possessed, the midfielder was all over the pitch last Friday afternoon and contributed to a Dolphins' crucial 2-1 win over John Adams at Beach Channel.
Johnson was fired up because he had felt the team was let down by his ejection from the first game. Beach Channel and John Adams were first and second respectively and the first cold, wind swept day alongside the Jamaica Bay pitted two squads that expect go deep in this year's playoffs.
Johnson made his first impression and it would happen soon after the whistle blew to begin the game. In the second minute, Johnson stepped in front of an Adams attempted pass through the midfield and bounced a one hop cross pass to Dave Scott.
The striker, camped out just behind the Adams defense, quickly turned upfield and kicked a low level shot past Adams goalkeeper Daniel Neto for a 1-0 lead.
Adams intended to use their 4-5-1 formation to spread the ball wide and to feed their quick footed and star forward Kenneil Haye, to put the ball in the net.
Beach Channel would hold off the Spartans attack and kept a 1-0 lead into halftime. The second half would start with a rough Adams' challenge, which upended Dolphins forward Marlon Velasquez just as he was inside the goalscoring box.
Senior midfielder Erik Rengifo would convert on the penalty kick to make it 2-0 Dolphins. It looked as Adams would capitulate but they would push back in a fast and furious 20 minutes left in the game.
Haye, who was frustrated enough on the day to get a yellow card for his outbursts, finally converted on a goal to make it 2-1.
John Adams, with a heavy wind in their favor, would push Beach Channel back on their heels, scrambling to get the game tying goal to accomplish a point.
The Dolphins (7-0-1, 22 points) would hold off the furious attack and the final whistle gained them an commanding five point lead over Adams (5-1-2, 17 points) in the B1 division.
"They played like they always do with heart, they took advantage of the wind and they used it. When we actually wake up and play hard, our team should know that a team like Beach Channel will never give an inch or space and can take advantage when we do things wrong," said Adams head coach Hector Navarette.
Dewey Johnson, credited with the assist, was more than pleased to make a contribution. He apologized to his teammates and knew he can make a difference out there.
"He told me to play my game and help my players. When I'm in the field, I want to give 110% percent," Johnson said. "I was upset. I felt like I let my team down. My goal was to dribble and pass the ball and make plays for every player on my team."
The division rests in the hands of the Dolphins and as confident as they are in grabbing the B1 title, Stanco has stressed there are higher goals to accomplish.
"(Dewey) knew he had a lot to prove and wanted to show the team he was capable of playing against Adams. We also didn't have Roman (Ivanov) and Edwin Andrade in our lineup. (Edwin) he's played amazing," Stanco said.
"Adams played a heck of a game. Both teams didn't dominate but things happen for a reason. I told the team that the sky is the limit."
Division titles are nice but a Dolphins team with the utmost confidence believes that a PSAL championship trophy, instead of a division title, would look much better in the BCHS trophycase.
FRHS Goes To Mayor's Cup
If one word could describe what occurs when 170 public, private, catholic and independent cross country school teams gathered at Van Cortland Park last Saturday, especially in the case of Far Rockaway cross country coach Eric Stein, he says the term 'electric' might come to mind.
"When you see all those kids running at the finish line and you recognize of your own kids at the finish line, it's an amazing feeling," Stein, the second year head coach of the cross country program said.
Hundreds of runners competed at one of the largest cross country gatherings in the eastern seaboard. Stein believes the Seahorses accomplished individual and team goals that was much to his satisfaction.
In individual races, Ahmad Sharhan finished in 15th out of 334 runners in the 2.5 mile run Varsity race to win a medal for placing in the top 30 with a time of 14.44.54.
In overall team competition, Far Rockaway finished 17th out of 48 teamsto race and were second out of ten Queens high schools overall to run.
Celaya finished third overall in the 1.5 mile race at the PSAL freshman/sophomore city championships at Cunningham Park on October 10. Abdullah Saleh finished fourth in the 2.5 mile race.

Berube had been the Flyers coach for two seasons, compiling a 75-58-28 record. He is the third NHL coach to be fired since the conclusion of the regular season last Saturday, joining Buffalo's Ted Nolan and Toronto's Peter Horachek. Berube had been an assistant with Philadelphia for six seasons before gaining the top job three games into the 2013 campaign when the Flyers replaced Peter Laviolette.

Dozens of ex-NFL players have died with signs of brain damage, potentially caused by repeated hits to the head in games. Comments from Facebook:
American football is, and always has been, a violent sport. Players who don't believe they are permanently damaging their bodies are just kidding themselves.
Maybe it's the money, fame or love of the game, but reports of players with brain disease, and seeing ex-pros like Earl Campbell (who now needs a walker or wheelchair) further emphasizes this.
Bill Reed
I love watching the game, but these cases are additional convincing evidence pointing to the long-term dangers to the players — dangers that probably aren't even cared about until long after they've left the game.
Roger Katz
Players' lawsuits against the NFL are a joke. It's all about money, and these players were paid enough.
They know what they sign up for, to play football. They could have been professional ultimate Frisbee players, but they chose football.
Harry Papers
Former NFL players showing signs of brain disease is not good news for football.
I'm not sure if the league can do anything to totally eliminate these types of injuries, but the new rules on helmet-to-helmet hits have to help.
Tony Nacelewicz
Football is a very physical sport with a lot of body contact. If all of that wears down a body, why think it would have no effect on the brain?
DarQuita Wright
Helmets are a big part of the problem. They don't protect the brain; they protect the skull.
They also give you the courage to hit harder.

Four pill first line regimenSep 25, 2005 just find out that I'm Hiv positive , my Doctor told me CD count 230 VL 180,000 which is very high I will start meds next week four pills a day one of them is Truvada with other three pills which I can't remember their names it's suppose to be a new program , he told me I will qualified and I will do very well , my concern is the side affect and also do you think my viral load will come down , please advise . Thanks, JS. |
Response from Dr. PieroneHello and thanks for posting. If this is a new program does this mean a clinical trial? If so, there will typically be an informed consent document that details the study. The other possibility is that your provider may have Truvada along with Norvir and Reyataz. This would add up to 4 pills a day. Most contemporary regimens are very effective (viral loads almost always come down, usually to undetectable) and potential side effects depend on the medications. Feel free to post with more information when you find out about the new cocktail that you are considering. | ||||||||||

We went to see Paloma Faith at the Apollo, Manchester, recently. It was nice to see her posting on Facebook, encouraging fans to shoot pictures and send them in. I noticed this at the last minute, so snatched up the Pentax Q with 5-15mm lens. On reflection, with a bit more time to think, I would have taken the Q adapter and the FA series 43mm f/1.9 lens - a "35mm-equivalent" of 236.5mm would have been perfect for some nice close ups. Sue did well with her Olympus XZ-1, which had a bit of pulling power and helped her get closer.
It was a terrific show, and at least I managed a few images that showed a bit of what went on. Here's a selection:
Next time I will be better prepared!

Lil' Eddie's Annual Food Drive
The annual food drive has been organized by Sam Knudsen to honor his father's belief in helping the less fortunate in our society in a practical way. All San Bernardino County Public Defender employee's participate by money donations that are used to purchase food products from Coscto. All food items are donated to the non-profit group Youth Hope, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping homeless and runaway youths. Mr. Knudsen wrote of his motivations to organize the food drive in the following brief explanation:
"I grew up on a golf course. No, I wasn't playing golf; my Dad was a greenskeeper. He was responsible for landscape management of the golf course and surrounding clubhouse grounds. Ownership would often complain that the birds and squirrels and such were 'pests' and were 'fouling' the area. Being an outdoorsman and nature lover, this angered him to no end and he did what he thought was right."One of the yearly seasonal duties was overseeding the course – spreading grass seed over the entire course for uniformity of growth. Every year he would make sure he ordered just a little too much seed (usually several 25-lb. bags). He would keep the extra seed hidden in the corner of the maintenance shed and out of sight. When the owners weren't around, he'd take a handful or two of seed and throw it on the tin roof of the shed and wait. Without fail and within minutes, you would hear the pecking of the birds and feet of the squirrels on the tin roof -- nowhere near the clubhouse to 'foul' anything. When the owners and executives would come to the maintenance yard and see (and hear) all the animals, they were dumbfounded. To my Dad, the sound was pure symphony.
To my Dad, the point was simple; he got his job done but never forgot the other guy. He never forgot the difference between the 'Haves' and 'Have Not's.' I guess that lesson really stuck with me."

Sorry Mr SteelAblity for your fowl mood but I must be way too dumb to feel your pain.
I wondered how the board would spin this win in a negative light and I have to admit, I didn't expect this to be the way. Count me as dumber than a box of rocks, but ecstatic about a road victory and keeping the Ravens in sight in the division.

The referee said that you hit Brian Sipe too hard. Did you hit him too hard?
I hit him as hard as I could - Jack Lambert
Bad calls could have affected the outcome of this game...but, the Steelers would not let that happen...however, it did make the score a lot closer that it probably should have been...
I'm on the side of folks who are ecstatic about the win with every possible extenuating circumstance working against the team, but they came through in the end and truly earned the win and absolutely deserved every ounce of that victory. But just because I can't understand how such a performance that made me so happy could elicit the opposite reaction from another Steeler fan doesn't make it okay for me to call him an a$$hole on the board. That's a no-no, Ghost. You know that.

Man just think a few weeks ago I thought we didn't deserve to be in the same league with these guys with the way we were playing.. We ALL thought we needed Ben to score 40 plus to carry our team to A victory over a high powered team.
Yesterday we beat a team playing Steeler football, Hitting hard, tackling well and yes pounding the Rock (on the Road mind you). How in the world can there be anything to be mad at with this game.. We just won a Road game.. The Ravens coming up twice doesn't look so dang on scary now..
Regardless of tongue-in-cheek from SteelAbility, we have heard these complaints on the board before. Why don't the Steelers dominate given their TOP and talent on offense.
I have watched a lot of NFL games this season and people don't realize how many of these games come down to one possession in the last half of the 4th quarter. Been trying to locate some stats on average winning margin this season compared with previous but haven't come across any. I would not be surprised if the average win margin is down on average from past seasons.
That hit was necessary,because after that hit cruz was scared to catch anymore passes over the middle.
Steelers defensive performance reminiscent of seasons past
By Alan Robinson
Published: Tuesday, November 6, 2012
Steelers cornerback Keenan Lewis breaks up a first-quarter pass intended for the Giants' Hakeem Nicks on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Steelers defense yards per game averages since 2005:
2008 237.2 *
2012 262.6 *
2007 266.4 *
2011 271.8 *
2010 276.8
2005 284.0
2006 300.3
2009 305.3
* Leads NFL
This is the Steelers defense everyone expects, yet it isnt.
The Steelers are No. 1 overall and tops against the pass, No. 7 against the run and No. 9 in fewest points allowed familiar territory for a defense that has led the NFL three of the past five seasons. But to James Harrison, this defense has a different feel.
The stars arent the stars any longer, partly due to injuries to Harrison and the still-sidelined Troy Polamalu. The schematics are changing on a weekly basis because of the rapid evolution in the passing game. Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau has never needed to be more creative or constantly adaptive.
Still, the Super Bowl champion Giants couldnt net a single positive yard in the fourth quarter Sunday and managed only 182 yards in all. It was the second time in three games a Steelers opponent was kept below 190 yards, something the rest of the NFLs other 31 defenses have done only seven times.
I dont think were at that (previous) level this (Giants) game was one situation where we were able to come through and do that, but we still have a long road to go to get to where we want to be with our alignment, our assignment keys and so forth, Harrison said. Were taking steps in the right direction, but we still made a lot of mistakes and left plays out there we could have made.
The sacks (14) and takeaways arent there yet halfway into the season, yet the Steelers (5-3) are better statistically than they were a season ago.
I just think that were growing and doing it better, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. Were not doing anything differently. Weve had some young guys playing situational football, like (nickel back) Cortez Allen, and hes starting to play a lot better now. So theres nothing different schematically, but the packages are bigger now than they were earlier in the year.
One difference maker is outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley, who forced a fumble and had two quarterback hurries in the fourth quarter alone as the Steelers rallied from 10 points down to beat the Giants, 24-20, their biggest win in more than a year. Only a few weeks ago, a finding-its-way defense couldnt get off the field in the fourth quarter while losing leads to the Broncos, Raiders and Titans.
I dont think we ever went away, truth be told, Woodley said. Were all just doing what we are supposed to do. Were just playing like the Steelers play football. Were just happy to get some things together.
Woodley has been bothered by a troublesome hamstring injury but is ranked as the leagues No. 3 outside linebacker performance-wise, ahead of Clay Matthews.
Cornerback Keenan Lewis, who has significantly upgraded his play despite being called twice Sunday for pass interference, allowed one catch for 10 yards while being targeted five times.
The arrows been pointing up with Keenan, Tomlin said. Hes been consistently challenging and competing on just about every throw. Hes a big reason why weve been hot in the back end in recent weeks.
Ryan Clark, arguably the Steelers defensive MVP to date, grades out as one of the NFLs highest-ranked defensive backs, even as he and Will Allen subbing for Polamalu alternate between free and strong safety.
Despite minimal production from the defensive line Ziggy Hood, for instance, has seven tackles on 149 snaps the defense is playing with visibly more confidence than before.
I think Larry Foote said it best: This team looks kind of familiar, Ike Taylor said on TribLive Radio. Its a no-nonsense offense and defense, the way were closing games out, and were finally getting off the field on third down. Youre finally seeing that physical style of play.

The promotional video almost makes it all pathetically endearing, but mostly it's just pathetic.AdvertisementThe Royals, Kansas City's Triple-A affiliate, are moving to a brand new stadium next year — and to really start fresh, the ball club let their fans suggest new mascot ideas. They sorted through over 1,500 submissions, held an online vote, and then went with the people's choice. The in-transition website would like to desperately remind you that the name was "voted on by you, the fans." In other words you, the fans, are the ones responsible for your new mascots: Stormy, Vortex, and Casey.The team's press release reads:Advertisement"The team name recognizes the importance of weather in the metro area and across the state," said [VP and GM Martie J.] Cordaro. "It also, in a whimsical way, pokes a little fun at the variety of weather we experience here."In addition to the team name, the Storm Chasers have two new mascots to provide that aura of whimsy. Stormy is a loveable green furry fellow who wears his weather vane beanie cap as a badge of honor. His sidekick, Vortex, is an inflatable mascot that looks like - well, a vortex. Fan-favorite Casey will remain with the club as a Storm Chaser.Frankly, this whole thing has the same dubious tone as my middle school yearbook's superlative awards, when the kid with an encyclopedic knowledge of World War II army tanks was voted "Most Athletic." But it seems to be for real. Let's just hope that the Omaha office has figured one thing out and we can expect brave, storm-chasing widow Dr. Jo Harding to throw out the first pitch come April.Sponsored[H/T Trevor]Royals will become Storm Chasers [Omaha World-Herald]Reply53 repliesLeave a reply

Steamboat Springs What better way to celebrate the Irish holiday weekend than Irish music and an Irish play?
"It's really an evening of Ireland," director Stuart Handloff said. "The choice of an Irish play on St. Patrick's Day weekend it all coincided. But this is not just a coincidence."
Handloff left his actors on stage Wednesday night as he praised the teen-agers' ability to play such mature roles in "Dancing at Lughnasa," which premieres March 15, 16 and 17. Music from the local Celtic folk band the Shenanigans will precede the performances.
"Meryl Streep played this role in a movie. A dramatic production like this with high school students is really challenging," Handloff said, adding their aptitude has far exceeded his expectations.
The group of high school actors stood on stage at Steamboat Springs High School rehearsing their parts with eloquent Irish accents and a comfort that even amateur adult actors could not fake.
Handloff even brought in an Irish man who lives in Steamboat to assist the young actors with their accents.
Sophomore Rory Clow said the class listened to Irish CDs and students would take turns around the room practicing their new dialect.
"He would make us say it over and over again," Clow said of Handloff.
Students said Handloff enjoys giving them challenging scripts and that he chooses eccentric plays for the spring performance.
Although the students had never heard of the original playwright, they said Friel is well known in Ireland.
Alex Handloff, who plays Michael, narrates "Dancing at Lughnasa." Michael recollects various conversations from his childhood over a three-week period during the Festival of Lughnasa in poverty-ridden Ireland in 1936.
"Dancing represents the last moment of happiness, joy and excitement in their meager lives before the family completely disintegrates," Handloff said.
The family is on the edge of surviving in the midst of depression
"It's about the family connections made and then they're torn apart," said sophomore Holly Dye, who plays Christina.
Junior Beth Ludwig said her biggest challenge is trying to play a developmentally disabled person.
"But it's all in good fun," Ludwig said.
Ludwig and Clow both play Rose. Handloff acquired two casts for this play a swing cast and an opening cast not only to watch his back in case of an emergency but also to get as many students involved as possible.
"(Stuart) likes to make the spring play more vanguard so it's challenging to high school actors," said junior Ian Noyer, who plays Uncle and Father Jack.
Handloff's drama students produce a play every semester a musical in the fall and a dramatic play in the spring.

The point? Fear.
If the computer does not fear you it will fuck up all over the place. You must let it know, firmly and forcefully, that you are quite capable of bashing it to microscopic bits. I walk into a god damned room at my work and the computers just start fucking working. Because they know... THEY KNOW that it is I, Baron Randolph Rackovitz, who encompasses their doom!
And nerds wonder why they never get laid.
Wouldn't it be funny if the N.C. Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors just went ahead and certified the guy since his work is so good?
Yes, time travelers will almost certainly be limited to early 21st century communications technology.
Why? Because time travelers are probably pretty stupid. I mean, aside from inventing TIME TRAVEL!!!!!!!!!
Methinks the Occam's razor argument against this drivel is a wee bit stronger than the "where are the cell towers?" argument here. I can imagine a man from 1928 seeing a picture of what looks like a man holding a phone from, say, 1840 wondering "if he's a time traveler, where's the wire?". Well, if he's traveling from 2010 instead of 1928
I believe he's talking about positional notation rather than base. Roman numerals could be considered Base10 but they can not be considered positional. They use sign-value notation instead.
I don't see the point however. As mentioned above, physicists derive their own math all the time.
Are you sure about 11 and 12? The French continue using discreet words for numbers up to 16, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they developed that from some hexadecimal system of the past. Especially since Italian goes strait to "Ten and One" (undici) without discreet words for 11 or 12 much less 13-16. Spanish has 1-15 discreet but not 16. 1-12 being discreet seems to be a purely Germanic thing; English, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian all do it, but neither the Slavic languages nor the Romance languages that border the Germanic group do so. In fact, the only non-germanic language that uses words like "eleven" and "twelve" (which mean "one left (over ten)" and "two left (over ten)") is Lithuanian and it uses them all the way to 19 (devyni-olika "nine left (over ten)").

I just dusted off a couple of C-64s, an Amiga 500, a Sun 3/50 and an Apple IIc the other day. They were filthy. And on top of the box of cables I needed to get at.
1. Go to Miata.net.
2. Search for "icehawk alignment"
3. Victory
You'll get a lot of argument over wether a rally-type setup (soft springs, hard dampers, lots of travel) or a track-type setup (hard lowering springs, hard dampers, on the bumpstops all the time*) is superior for auto-x. Personally I prefer the rally-style setup, especially for a dual-use car.
My CSP 1st gen Miata runs the icehawk alignment on stock springs with re-valved Koni yellows on the lowest perch, 63 mm FatCat bumpstops, 2nd gen rear hats for more travel, biggest front sway-bar I could find and no rear sway. It's fairly quick in class. Much quicker than the STS cars, but that's down to tires, diff and power more than suspension.
* Miatas are designed to use the bump-stops under load so that's not as bad as it would be for most other cars.
Yea. The 1st Amendment violations here pale in comparison to the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendment violations. No warrant? Check. Deprived of property without due process? Check. Specifically NOT informed of the accusations levied against them? Check.
Hell, they just need to quarter some troops in this guy's house and they'll have shitcanned half the Bill Of Rights in one case.
Really? All I can figure out is that you are a pretentious wannabe pedant who can't fathom the meaning of "certain respects" because that would get in the way of your headlong rush to attempt to stun us all with your mighty intellect.

By Miss. State Athletics
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A three-run home run by Florida's Austin Maddox lifted the sixth-ranked Gators past Mississippi State 4-1 in a Southeastern Conference baseball game played Sunday afternoon at UF's McKethan Stadium.
Florida won all three games of the weekend for its first series sweep from the Bulldogs since the Gators enjoyed back-to-back sweeps in the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Florida improved to 16-3 overall and 3-0 in league play with its fifth straight win. MSU fell to 11-9 and 0-3.
The Bulldogs failed to get the key hit Sunday afternoon. M-State stranded 13 total base runners in the game, including 10 over their final four at-bats. MSU left the bases loaded in the sixth and seventh innings. The Bulldogs stranded a pair in both the eighth and ninth innings.
Inability to score runs again meant another solid Bulldog pitching performance went for naught. Nick Routt threw the first two innings before being lifted for precautionary reasons. Caleb Reed (0-2) threw a career-best 5.1 innings, allowing three hits and one run (earned), with three walks and two strikeouts.
Reed was lifted after a one-out walk to Kamm Washington on a 3-2 pitch in the eighth inning. Ben Bracewell followed in relief and was touched for a single by a Preston Tucker and Maddox's sixth home run of the year.
For the weekend, Bulldog pitching allowed 16 runs and 22 hits to one of the conference's best offensive ball clubs.
MSU grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second inning on Wes Thigpen's second home run of the year. The Bulldogs finished with seven total runs in the series – three of those coming on the long ball.
The Gators tied the game when an error opened the door in the home half of the second inning.
The Bulldogs then had a chance to grab the lead but squandered golden opportunities in both the sixth and seventh innings.
Winning pitcher Kevin Chapman (1-0) was the final of five Gator pitchers used on the afternoon. Chapman threw 2.1 innings of shutout relief, allowing two hits with four strikeouts and a walk.
MSU out-hit Florida, 8-6. For the Bulldogs, Powers had three hits, while Thigpen also had multiple hits.
The Bulldogs host Memphis at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Dudy Noble Field. Conference play resumes next weekend when Georgia comes to town. Game times are 6:30 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Durable case! This case fits the iPhone 4S extremely well. The color is true red as pictured, and the rubber pvc is so much better than silcone ones Ive tried in the past. There is a slight lip on the front whereby your ear will not be flush to the phone but it doesnt hurt or bother me. The slight transparency looks great against the black of the phone. I couldn't have asked for a better price and its so durable (I havent dropped it so I dont know how durable in that sense). The only thing I noticed is if you have a screen protector on the phone, the case is so tight that it starts to lift up the protector slightly at one edge, but with a little effort in adjusting its fine. Will be getting more colors!

Fits like a glove Really like this case. Fits like a glove, is stylish, and does exactly what it's supposed to do. I especially like the gripper areas on the sides of the case, easier to get out of my pocket. A great bargain for the price.

(She sang softly to herself, waiting in line at the bakery.) And what do you know? The Internet has obliged! AdvertisementToday.com reports it's the work of Erin Keaney, a 43-year-old Toronto comic. "I wanted my girls to know that I love my body," she explained. "I just don't think we should feel like we have to be somebody else," she added. "Just be your best you." As a bonus, Keaney reminds me just a little of Doctor Who's Donna Noble, as played by Catherine Tate. Perhaps alternate with the just-dropped "Partition" video? Reply50 repliesLeave a reply

The Miguel Hernández University (MHU) of Elche and the Reproduction Unit of the Vistahermosa Clinic of Alicante (Spain) have presented a unique system that simulates the environment of an embryology laboratory and avoids the waste of valuable human biological material and breakages of medical equipment.
The Embryologist Station Training (TEST) consists of a console and a software that allow beginners to train the process of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Microinjection, one of the current most successful techniques of assisted reproductive techniques. The simulator will facilitate a better understanding of the whole process to students, but also will help to students and practitioners to improve their sensitivity with the controls and their capability for the immobilization and capture of sperm, the positioning of ovules and sperm microinjection.
"We have slightly adapted the control panel of a micromanipulator to make cheaper the product but we get the same precision as the original. Thus, with only two controllers and two joysticks students can be trained into the different phases of the procedure without supervision," said Federico Botella, leader of the Research Group Webdecision from the Center of Operations Research (CIO) Institute at the MHU. The console is easy to use, compact and portable. You only need a single USB cable to connect the console to a computer or laptop, so you can practice out of the embryology laboratory at your own pace.
Real micromanipulators offer no numerical support. All the process is visual. The embryologist has to focus pipettes and position objects in a 3D world that is viewed in two dimensions across the microscope. The software designed in the MHU offers two levels: beginner and expert. In the first mode, the system provides numerical aid, such as the position of the pipette or changing the colour of the tail of sperm when it is immobilized. The software also includes some warnings, as broken needle or pierced ovule. These warnings also appear in expert mode, but here the user has no numerical indications during the process. Also, Federico Botella explained: "During the training, different types of oocytes and sperm appear randomly so that the future professionals gain experience with a variety of diseases and complications. In addition, the software will keep track of successes and failures during the tests."
The EmbryoTraining project began through the collaboration between Federico Botella and Dr. José-Jesús López-Gálvez, director of the Reproduction Unit. The Vistahermosa Clinic has offered the University Specialist course in Human Reproductive Biology since 2001, where students practice ovule fertilization. The problem is that the equipment is very expensive and sometimes breaks during practices, and becomes unusable for the next day's work. At the same time, valuable human biological material is discarded, mainly oocytes, and so does clinical material such as needles and pipettes. According to Professor Botella: "When I met Dr. López-Gálvez he suggested the idea of developing a computer simulator that would make training easier and cheaper. At the WebDecision Research Group of the CIO Institute we studied the process from graphic and audiovisual material recorded in the hospital laboratory and considered it viable."
From 2008 both entities signed several R&D contracts to develop this idea and later the University applied for a national patent. Afterwards, the researchers created the spin-off company Nidoweb, which is located at the Science and Business Park of the MHU. The company is developing both the hardware and the software and has acquired the rights to exploit the patent. The console was designed at a company in Ibi. Finally, the multinational pharmaceutical company Merck became interested in the project and was granted exclusive rights to launch the product.
Merck will soon launch the simulator (TESTconsola+TESTicsi v1.0) although several reproduction centres are interested in acquiring it already. To protect the technology, the University has applied for the international PCT patent. "This first simulator covers the process of Sperm Microinjection, but we're considering designing other simulation applications related to other assisted reproduction techniques, both in humans and in animals, using our TESTconsola," said the Spanish researcher.

If you have thousands of friends on Facebook, most of them are not your real friends, reports The Sunday Times of London.
According to a recent study by Oxford University professor of Evolutionary Anthropology Robin Dunbar, a human brain is limited to keeping up with about 150 meaningful relationships, regardless of how many Facebook friends you might have. This is in line with Dunbar's earlier research on the matter, in which he concludes that there exists a theoretical "sweet spot" for the number of relationships a human can effectively manage. Throughout history, people have formed social groupings of about 150, as larger groupings quickly begin to deteriorate and lose social cohesion.

The 'Health-e-Space' website has gone online in Moray, Scotland, aiming to encourage individuals to play an active role in personal health matters by providing them with a series of online tools and information.
The website allows anybody living in Moray to become a member and to obtain local health information, links to recommended websites and suggestions on how to live with health conditions. Its sister website, the 'Health-e-Space Community', serves as a social networking platform for people to share their health concerns and experiences among them in the Moray area.
Egypt, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are the first countries to win preliminary approval for Internet addresses written entirely in their native scripts. Since their creation in the 1980s, Internet domain names have been limited to the 26 characters in the Latin alphabet used in English, as well as 10 numerals and the hyphen. Technical tricks have been used to allow portions of the Internet address to use other scripts, but until now, the suffix had to use those 37 characters.
An announcement Thursday by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, known as ICANN, paves the way for an entire domain name to appear in Cyrillic or Arabic by the middle of this year. Applications for strings in other languages are pending.

If Your Password Is 123456, Just Make It HackMe. Back at the dawn of the Web, the most popular account password was 12345. Today, its one digit longer but hardly safer: 123456.
Despite all the reports of Internet security breaches over the years, including the recent attacks on Googles e-mail service, many people have reacted to the break-ins with a shrug. According to a new analysis, one out of five Web users still decides to leave the digital equivalent of a key under the doormat: they choose a simple, easily guessed password like abc123, iloveyou or even password to protect their data.

Hundreds of tech volunteers spurred to action by Haiti's killer quake are adding a new dimension to disaster relief, developing new tools and services for first responders and the public in an unprecedented effort. "It really is amazing the change in the way crisis response can be done now," said Noel Dickover, a Washington, D.C.-based organizer of the CrisisCamp tech volunteer movement, which is central to the Haiti effort. "Developers, crisis mappers and even Internet-savvy folks can actually make a difference."
Another volunteer project forged in the quake's aftermath is a cell phone text-messaging system that has helped the U.N., Red Cross and other relief groups dispatch rescuers, food and water.
The World Economic Forum today released its study on Scaling Opportunity: Information and Communications Technology for Social Inclusion, an analysis of how ICT is evolving to address the social and economic needs of the poor. The study notes that, as 4 billion people have access to the global communications infrastructure, the opportunity to create innovative and inclusively tailored solutions for connecting the unconnected is extraordinary.
Along with highlighting the rapid adoption rate of mobile phone usage within emerging economies, the report focuses on the question: Whats next?
Hackers are attacking consumers with an exploit of Internet Explorer (IE) that was allegedly used last month by the Chinese to break into Google's corporate network, a security company said Monday.
That news came on the heels of warnings by the information security agencies of the French and German governments, which recommended that IE users switch to an alternate browser, such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera, until Microsoft fixes the flaw. In a Monday alert Websense said it identified "limited public use" of the unpatched IE vulnerability in drive-by attacks against users who strayed onto malicious Web sites.

A man who ran a music-sharing website with almost 200,000 members has been found not guilty of conspiracy to defraud at Teesside Crown Court. Alan Ellis, 26, was the first person in the UK to be prosecuted for illegal file-sharing. He operated the site, called Oink, from his flat in Middlesbrough from 2004 until it was closed down in a police raid in October 2007. In that time Oink facilitated the download of 21 million music files.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation is advising people to be careful when evaluating donation programs related to the earthquake in Haiti as one security firm is already seeing scam e-mails circulate. People should apply a "critical eye" to requests for financial donations following Tuesday's earthquake in Haiti, which caused an unknown number of deaths and severe damage to the country's infrastructure.
Scam e-mails are already emerging. Symantec noted a so-called 419-style e-mail that purported to come from the British Red Cross. A 419 scam, named after the number of a statute in Nigeria's criminal code banning the practice, is one in which an e-mail or a letter implores a person to send money for some bogus reason.
With communications in Haiti ravaged by an earthquake, tech-savvy residents turned to Twitter to send pictures and news of the destruction while others used the Web service to mobilize appeals for aid.
Harrowing personal accounts, heart-rending pictures and rallying cries for relief for quake-ravaged Haiti spread swiftly on Twitter as the microblogging platform once again became a key communications tool during disaster. Haiti solidarity groups sprang up on social network Facebook, meanwhile, including one that quickly attracted more than 142,000 members, and video of the aftermath of the 7.0-magnitude quake appeared on YouTube.

Facebook is trying to strengthen security on its Web site with some outside help. Computer security company McAfee Inc. will now scan and repair the computers of Facebook users whose accounts have been compromised, the company said Wednesday. The scanning process will be added to the steps that Facebook already makes the users of such accounts go through if they want to reclaim their pages.
Facebook says spam and viruses affect a tiny percentage of its users. But hackers are increasingly targeting the social sites as they become a core part of the Web. Spokesman Barry Schnitt said Facebook spends a lot of time and resources to keep users' accounts secure.
The cyber threat environment is constantly changing and becoming more challenging with every day that passes. Malware grew last year at the highest rate in 20 years. Multiple security reports showed that more than 25 million new strains of malware were identified in 2009.
Forecasts suggest that 2010 will again see unprecedented growth in malware and the trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Not only will the cyber attack volume escalated dramatically, but the sophistication of malware delivery modalities will also become much more sophisticated and dangerous. In addition, social networking sites will become major targets of choice for cyber criminals.

Despite the prevalence and popularity of social networking sites like Facebook, almost a third of respondents said that they preferred to meet friends face-to-face, although 44 percent said the internet made it easier to keep in touch with them. More than seven in 10 children said their most common use of the Internet was for gaming, while 59 percent said that they used the worldwide web in the course of doing their homework. The youngsters from Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Poland also expressed a strong sense of social responsibility, with 90 percent saying it was important to look after the planet, and 74 percent saying they recycled regularly.
They've never known a world without the Internet, but they still prefer to meet their friends offline.

Violent video games have "a much bigger negative influence on kids" than pornography, a leading porn star has claimed. He said parents should be more worried about the harmful effects of such games. Mr Jeremy's comments were made at a session called the Great Porn Debate during the Consumer Electronics Show, CES, in Las Vegas. His comments angered gamers, who accused him of "ignorance".
Mr Jeremy also urged parents to play their part in preventing children from accessing adult websites. He said the industry already does all it can to protect youngsters. "Parents can block this stuff and need to stop blaming porn for a bad case of parenting," Mr Jeremy told BBC News.
Hackers calling themselves the Iranian Cyber Army briefly hijacked the home page of China's top search engine, Baidu Inc, on Tuesday weeks after doing the same thing to Twitter.com.
Media carried screenshots of Baidu's home page showing a message: "This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army" against a dark background and the flag of Iran. The group hacked popular microblogging website Twitter in December replacing Twitter's home page with the same headline and an anti-American message.
A wireless industry group said mobile phone conversations are safe from eavesdropping, even after a German security expert released the code for unscrambling calls made using most of the world's cell phones. Concerns spread last week that cell phone calls could easily be intercepted after encryption expert Karsten Nohl unveiled his research at Europe's largest hacking conference, in Berlin.
The London-based GSM Association said on Thursday that it has spent the past few years figuring out ways to thwart hackers who might try to tap into wireless calls using Nohl's research, which it first learned of in 2007.
People who post intimate details about their lives on the internet undermine everybody else's right to privacy, claims an academic. Dr Kieron O'Hara has called for people to be more aware of the impact on society of what they publish online. "If you look at privacy in law, one important concept is a reasonable expectation of privacy," he said. "As more private lives are exported online, reasonable expectations are diminishing."
The rise of social networking has blurred the boundaries of what can be considered private, he believes - making it less of a defence by law. We live in an era that he terms "intimacy 2.0" - where people routinely share extremely personal information online.
The new year will usher in some interesting new changes in the world of malware and cyber-attacks, according to one company's predictions for 2010. Watchful eyes will have to be kept on mobile phone apps, Google Wave accounts, file sharing and peer-to-peer networks -- cyber-criminals will target those in greater numbers, according to predictions released by Kaspersky Labs, a provider of Internet threat management solutions for combating malware.
"Given the growing sophistication of threats -- it's no longer just an e-mail saying, Please click on this attachment,' and you get infected with something -- the schemes are much more elaborate than that," said Roel Schouwenberg, the company's senior malware researcher.

Got an e-mail list of customers or readers and want to know more about each such as their full name, friends, gender, age, interests, location, job and education level? Facebook has just the free feature you're looking for, thanks to its recent privacy changes. The hack, first publicized by blogger Max Klein, repurposes a Facebook feature that lets people find their friends on Facebook by scanning through e-mail addresses in their contact list.
Using a simple scraping tool, a marketer could then turn a list of e-mail addresses into a rich, full-fledged set of marketing profiles, with names, pictures, ages, locations, interests, photos, wall posts, affiliations and names of your friends, depending on how users have their profiles set.

ricky101 | Yes she is a good dog but I just worry that she will not protect me if something did happen. If shes in the garden and she hears a noise at night she will bark. Also I don't want to be a pain but how can I stop her from jumping up on me? out of the family im the only one she jumps on. She Is my dog and its me who walks her but never jumps on anyone else |
wolfy dog |
She must be really stable not to bark yet. I think it is a good sign. The best protectors are the ones who are not afraid of strangers. The barkers will probably hide behind you or snap out of fear. I think when she matures she will start warning you. WD never barked at strangers either at that age. But when one of our nephews ran up to me WD immediately positioned himself between the boy and me. I was pleasantly surprised. |

Colonel Shawn Shumake (USA), Director, Office of Legal Policy, Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, DoD
Chairman Miller and Members of the Committee, thank you for extending the invitation to the Department of Defense to comment on the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) and explain how we educate our servicemembers, their families, and private industry about it. The Department recognizes the fundamental importance of the SCRA. No other statute provides the breadth of benefits and protections for servicemembers as are found in the SCRA. It protects those who have dropped their own affairs and taken up those of the nation.
Purpose and Importance of the SCRA
The purpose of the SCRA is no less lofty than to provide servicemembers' peace of mind, knowing that while they put their lives at risk to protect this great nation, their personal affairs and economic interests will be protected. They and their families will be relieved from many of the day-to-day strains and pressures that the rest of us are more easily able to handle.
The SCRA's protections are broad and diverse. It protects servicemembers from evictions, default judgments, and foreclosure. It allows them to delay judicial proceedings and to cap their interest rates. It provides them and their spouses certain tax relief. It does more for our servicemembers than any other single law by shifting—at least temporarily—some of the burdens associated with military service from the servicemember to others more capable of bearing those burdens.
Congressional Efforts to Strengthen Enforcement of the SCRA
Congress continues to play the most critical role in protecting our servicemembers and their families. To ensure that the SCRA could be aggressively enforced by those it is designed to protect, the 111th Congress passed the Veterans' Benefit Act of 2010.[1] This law could have the most broad-reaching effect of any single change to the SCRA since the overhaul and update of the SCRA in 2003. The Veterans' Benefit Act of 2010 clarified that servicemembers and others that it protects could seek civil enforcement through the courts and receive monetary damages and attorneys' fees. It also clarified that the Attorney General has similar enforcement authority on behalf of servicemembers and other aggrieved persons.
Although many courts had found that such a private right of action was implied, others have resisted this interpretation, leading to the almost unconscionable conclusion that servicemembers had benefits and protections that could not be enforced. In Hurley v. Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas,[2] which recently received front page coverage on the New York Times,[3] the court initially ruled that a Michigan National Guardsman whose home was illegally foreclosed on and sold to a third party while the Guardsman was deployed to Afghanistan, had no legal remedy. Only through expert legal counterattacks by the servicemember's attorneys was the court persuaded to reverse its position—but only after adding six months to the already protracted litigation. Just the danger of such daunting impediments to the enforcement of smaller claims could leave servicemembers wronged, and without remedy. The Veterans' Benefit Act of 2010 ended such worries.
Substantive Changes to the SCRA
Congress has for the last several years recognized the burdens that military service places on servicemembers through a number of substantive changes to the SCRA designed to relieve some of the burdens associated with military service.
The 110th Congress recognized these burdens and amended the SCRA in 2008 to extend the 6% interest rate cap for pre-service mortgage obligations. This interest rate cap, which had been in effect for decades, had previously only applied for actual periods of active duty. This amendment extended the interest rate cap for pre-service mortgage obligations for an additional year after leaving active duty.[4]
At the same time, Congress also temporarily amended the SCRA to extend protections from foreclosure on pre-service mortgage obligations from 90 days to nine months after the servicemember leaves active duty. Under these conditions and during this time, no servicemember can be foreclosed on absent a court order.[5] This extension to nine months would have reverted by law to the previous 90 days on January 1, 2011. In one of its last acts, the 111th Congress extended this sunset provision for two years.
Additional Statutory Protections Addressing the Burdens of Service
In February 2009, the 111th Congress provided $555 million in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to expand the pre-existing Homeowner's Assistance Program (HAP) benefits to address unique economic pressures faced by military personnel who are required to relocate during adverse housing market conditions. Congress added another $300 million for HAP in 2010.
HAP seeks to minimize the amount of financial harm—including risk of foreclosure, credit damage, or bankruptcy—that servicemember and civilian beneficiaries may experience when they are compelled to relocate under military orders. As of January 27, 2011, HAP has assisted 4,483 homeowners at a program cost of $674 million. Another 4,643 homeowners are currently being evaluated for eligibility.
On May 20, 2009, the 111th Congress recognized that because most servicemembers are not homeowners, but rather are renters, they faced particular difficulties when their landlords were foreclosed on. The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009,[6] provides significant protections when such servicemembers face possible displacement. Although the above two statutes do not directly amend the SCRA, they recognize that servicemembers face challenges with their housing that puts them at greater risk than the rest of the country.
The Education Process
These amendments to the SCRA and the other powerful statutory provisions discussed above, show Congress clearly recognizes the difficulties of military service. Of course, the protections and benefits from these and other laws mean little if our servicemembers do not know about them.
The Service secretaries are directed to ensure that their members know about the benefits and protections of the SCRA and of other similar laws. This educational process involves coordinated and overlapping efforts to alert the servicemembers and their commanders of these benefits and protections and then to ensure that the proper counselors are there to help the servicemember fully understand the nuances of the laws and receive everything the laws promise their full benefits and protections. The Department has worked closely with the Department of Justice, which has enforcement authority under the SCRA. Together DoD and DOJ have trained attorneys in the military legal assistance program so they are well prepared to answer service members' questions and identify potential violations of the SCRA. The military legal assistance program provides the first line of defense for our servicemembers; however, if they are unable to resolve the matter, the servicemember may be referred to private counsel or seek representation through any number of state and local pro bono programs. The DoJ has also intervened on behalf of service members when necessary to protect servicemember's rights and interests.
The Department's efforts to educate service members and their families center around the installation and the various reserve component mobilization and demobilization processing centers. These reserve component processing centers are particularly critical because two of the most important economic protections and benefits—the 6 percent interest rate cap and the extension of foreclosure protections—only apply to pre-service obligations. Accordingly, those most likely to benefit from these protections are Reservists and National Guardsmen called to active duty.
Because each of the Services has the authority to best determine how to provide the necessary training and counseling, the Department has asked the Services to set out how they educate their members about the SCRA. The timing of the Committee's request did not allow time to gather the data and then organize it to show the many ways the information is presented to the servicemember; therefore, that information will be submitted separately to the committee as soon as possible.
[1] Section 303 of the Veterans' Benefit Act of 2010, Public Law 111-275, October 13, 2010, amended the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 USC App. § 501 et seq) by adding at the end new title VIII, Civil Liability. This title contains new sections of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act: 801, Enforcement by the Attorney General; 802, Private Right of Action, and 803, Preservation Of Remedies. These have been codified as sections 50 USC App §§ 597, 597a and 597b.

The History of Valentine's Day
Did you know that more than one billion Valentine's Day cards are given in the United States every year? Of those, teachers get the most Valentine's Day cards of anyone; children get the second most. No doubt that kids LOVE Valentines Day and bringing this fun holiday to your class can be a delightful learning experience. There is a mysterious universal appeal to Valentines Day that causes millions of people around the world to exchange tokens of affection each year on February 14. So how did these Valentines Day traditions begin and who is St. Valentine? With a little bit of searching, I found that History.com is a fantastic resource to uncover some of the mystery about this annual holiday. Here are some interesting facts that we found: *Legend has it that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome and was ordered to be put to death when he continued to perform marriages after Emperor Claudius II had outlawed it (so men would be better soldiers) *Another legend says that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of one of his jailers while in prison and actually sent the first "valentine" greeting to her before his death- a love letter signed "From your Valentine," *Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages (written Valentine's didn't begin to appear until after 1400), and the oldest known Valentine card is on display at the British Museum. *Valentine's Day as we now know it began to be popularly celebrated around the seventeenth century in Great Britain. *The first commercial Valentine's Day greeting cards produced in the U.S. were created in the 1840s by Esther A. Howland. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap."

hey i wonder if you guys could help me out.. been absent for a while.
i've had an idea, using some kind of motion sensors, track the movement of an individual subject in a room to alter the mix of a musical composition based on their location.
Using three to five sensors (preferably usb), divide the room into zones with a speaker placed in each zone, with an overall aim to create an study zone for a child with ADHD.
any help would prove invaluable.
The lack of responses might be related to the lack of questions in your post…
There are a large number of ways to deal with this. Do you control the lighting in the room? How exact does it need to be? Only one subject?
Off the top of my head, is sounds like you could use a webcam for this task, mounted as high as possible. I'd look at the cv.jit objects for motion tracking ideas.
