5 years after Virginia Tech shootings, actions of officials amid deadly rampage on trial
CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. (AP) ' Jury selection began Monday in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the parents of two Virginia Tech students killed during a campus rampage nearly five years ago.
The trial is being held in Montgomery County Circuit Court in Christianburg. University officials will be asked to defend their actions of April 16, 2007, when a student gunman killed 32 people and then himself on the Blacksburg campus. It was the most deadly shooting spree in modern U.S. history.
The jury pool was being drawn from the county, home to Virginia Tech, with attorneys selecting nine jurors, including two alternates. The trial is expected to last all week.
"I know all of you have heard about the shootings that occurred on April 16, 2007," Circuit Judge William Alexander told jury prospects, who filled benches in one half of the courtroom. "Just because you know something does not disqualify you from the jury."
One prospective juror was released after she said she knew one of the victims.
Top Virginia Tech officials, including President Charles Steger, are scheduled to testify in the trial brought by the parents of Julia K. Pryde and Erin N. Peterson. Those families have said they are seeking a full accounting of the morning of the campus carnage.
The Prydes and the Petersons were the only eligible Virginia Tech families who didn't accept their share of an $11 million state settlement.
Their attorney, Robert Hall, has said he will show that university officials botched the response to the 2007 shootings by waiting more than two hours to alert the campus after the first two victims were fatally gunned down in a dormitory. Steger, who has defended his actions and the actions of other campus officials, will be testifying publicly under oath for the first time, Hall said.
"There isn't one person on that campus who hasn't wondered, 'That could have been me,' " Hall said in an interview before trial.
Hall has said Steger also sought to cover up the university's actions, an accusation the state has labeled false. The university has said the suit has no merit.
A state panel that investigated the shootings concluded that officials erred in not sending an alert earlier. The delay in issuing a campus warning also cost Virginia Tech a $55,000 fine from the U.S. Education Department. The school is appealing.
Hall has listed more than 30 witnesses he intends to call, including the chief of the campus police force. The state's witness list totals approximately 50 people.
Alexander told prospective jurors he expects the trial to last one week, but warned it could run into next week. Several prospects said that presented problems for them.

"The co-occurrence between depression and ME/CFS is explained by partially overlapping aberrations in inflammatory, oxidative and nitrosative (IO&NS) pathways. Both disorders are accompanied by systemic inflammation, characterized by increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and increased levels of acute phase reactants; diminished levels of antioxidants, including zinc and coenzyme Q10 and antioxidant enzymes; O&NS damage to fatty acids, proteins and DNA; dysfunctional mitochondria; a lowered ?-3/?-9 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio; increased translocation of gram-negative bacteria, and aberrations in intracellular signal transduction and apoptosis pathways." (5)
"The emerging view that CFS is a medical syndrome caused by a peripheral and central activation of IO&NS pathways, which are secondary to a number of trigger factors. The latter include psychological stress, sustained strenuous exercise, viral infections, bacterial infections and any other condition which is accompanied by IO&NS, for example autoimmune disorders, cancers, radiation therapy, and so on. The above mentioned trigger factors may activate NFkb, whereby NFkb functions as a 'smoke sensor' that detects the above mentioned threats and acts as a switch to turn inflammation and O&NS on and off." (7)
"Our results suggest that ingestion of low concentrations of T-2 toxin affects the TLR activation by decreasing pattern recognition of pathogens and thus interferes with initiation of inflammatory immune response against bacteria and viruses. Consequently, mycotoxins could increase the susceptibility of humans and animals to infectious diseases. Then, mycotoxins, especially T-2 toxin, could play a determining role in lowering the immune response of pigs to these bacterial and viral infections." (18)

You say Poblano, I say Pasilla (Pah-SEE-YA). They are one in the same, I recently discovered--at least, in California grocery stores. (I found a blogger who clears up the confusion here.) I love Mexican food, but I can't handle really a lot of spicy heat. Poblano peppers are perfect, because they are rather mild once they are cooked.
Fine Cooking." The original recipe boasts that it's a quick (and great) way to use leftover chicken. I didn't have any, and so I decided to make my own shredded chicken. I chose chicken thighs, because they are a good price. For flavor I added bay leaves, whole peppercorns and my homemade Mexican spice (you could use taco seasoning). If you have a Trader Joe's near you, I like these reduced-sodium chicken flavor concentrates (no MSG). You could use plain water, though.
The fresh tomato sauce was the best part of this recipe, IMO. It was so good, that I wish I had doubled it-- so, take my advice!

Pulling the ball back off a play-action fake, Zach Mettenberger rolled right, cocked back his right arm and floated a throw to an uncovered Jarvis Landry.
Before the ball spiraled from the LSU quarterback's finger tips, the play call against Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl oscillated from brilliant to deranged over the one-second span until the ball fluttered over the finger tips of the outstretched Landry, who broke open on a flat route.
Landry peeled himself off the Georgia Dome's turf. Mettenberger squatted and shook his head. And LSU watched a sure first-down conversion on an routine second-and-2 morph into a subject of scrutiny.
"The coaching staff called a great play," Landry said. "It's just unpredictable. Who would have thought that we'd miss the pass by a hair?"
The postgame critique picked up more fodder on third-and-2 at the Tigers' 48 — a scenario where the choice to turn and hand off seemed evident.
Instead, Mettenberger took a three-step drop. Yet Clemson's Malachi Goodman plowed into right guard Vadal Alexander, won a split-second tussle and stuck his right paw up to knock down the throw. LSU punted, and Clemson quarterback Tahj Boyd drove his team for the game-winning score in a 25-24 victory.
And it's a prime example of why LSU coach Les Miles is keen on addressing the four-minute span where LSU can close out victories in preseason practices running up to the season opener Aug. 31 against TCU.
"We'll talk four minute, four minute is kind of a sore point for me," Miles said Sunday. "I want to practice it significantly in these next couple of weeks."
On Tuesday, Mettenberger frowned and drummed his fingers on a podium when the subject of finishing off opponents was broached. The topic, pointed to by Miles as the difference in knocking off Alabama and snagging a shot at an SEC title game, has been oft discussed inside the Charles McClendon Practice Facility.
"It's a drill that we usually work a couple times a week," Mettenberger said. "Obviously, everybody knows our history (from) last year losing a couple games late. We're just trying to reassure the fact that we can close out games."
So in trying resolve the problem, is it simply a matter of execution? Or is there an aspect of the Tigers' philosophy of trying to close games that could be revamped with the arrival of new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron in Baton Rouge?
Since his arrival, Cameron has stressed the Tigers offense will look to be on the attack and assertive in its style, but will there be a temptation to fall back on the old NFL standby of running the ball, burning clock and forcing opponents to burn timeouts?
"We just want to keep it managable," Landry said. "The last thing you want to do is get behind the sticks on first down and second and third, then everyone in the stadium knows what you're doing."
Parsing the statements of the Tigers skill players, it appears there's a likelihood LSU might be assertive as time wanes — a mentality warmly greeted around the LSU program.
"It puts a team in that calm state," running back Alfred Blue said. "You want to keep attacking and attacking to put them away. The faster you do that, the sooner you can think about all the other things."
Yet Landry said the approach is fundamentally and traditionally based on what looks the Tigers see at the line of scrimmage, a mentality that would seem to square up with how LSU approached Clemson. The ACC foe packed the box, anticipating LSU would follow standard procedure and hand off. Instead, they called three consecuctive pass plays.
"The things coach Cam and the offensive staff are developing right now will help us attack defenses, whether it's quickly or vertically," Landry said."Coach Cameron is going to do a great job getting us in the right sets and the right formations so that when the defense presents (its looks) we can be ready to adjust and attack them on each play."
Cameron and Miles have said the scheme hasn't been dramatically overhauled, outside of perhaps an implied change of pushing the ball vertically and reading out progressions differently. Right guard Trai Turner said the same logic exists in evaluating what LSU does in its four-minute offense.
"It's definitely a little more balanced, and we really still run the same plays," Turner said. "It's just about executing. It's not too big of a change."
And the question of largely standing pat systematically raises the other portion of the subject. Holding all other variables constant, were LSU's woes simply tied to the wrong play call from the coaches box?
That's a murkier matter.
"That's a tough answer," Turner said. "At the end of the day, the quarterback can audible out of it or you can stick with what the offensive coordinator called on that play. With that, it can be a touchy subject, and I don't know if there is a right answer."
There's no better example than the loss to Alabama.
It's easy to forget LSU led 17-14 when it took over on its 19 with 7:43 left in the fourth quarter.
Before three failed running plays deep in Crimson Tide territory and a missed 45-yard field goal, Mettenberger picked up first downs with completions on back-to-back thrid-and-6 situations to keep the drive trudging forward. Don't forget his 27-yard completion to Odell Beckham to the Bama 32 with 2:45 showing on the clock either.
Chewing up four minutes of clock and picking up three first downs left little reason to be skeptical.
And the stats offered some evidence for the impending play calls sent in to the huddle. On the season, LSU executed 157 snaps in the area between its opponents' 40-yard line and 20-yard line, running the ball 68.1 percent of the time for an average of 5.4 yards per carry.
That night, Alabama limited LSU to 3.5 yards each hand off. Yet given the field position and time left, running the ball still seemed to have some logic. If the Tigers got in a bind, they had shown they could convert through the air, picking up 14 first downs passing against the Tide.
On first down, LSU called a dive play with fullback J.C. Copeland to the left side. Next came second-and-7, another run call out of a power I on toss-sweep right by running back Jeremy Hill, who lost three yards after being swarmed under by three defenders.
Facing third-and-10, Miles remained conservative in calling a toss power play that netted 4 yards before Drew Alleman pushed a 45-yard kick wide left.
LSU never disguised its intentions during the sequence, going with a two-tight end set and and Power I formation. On Hill's failed sweep, wide receiver Russell Sheperd shifted in from the slot. All total, eight men were at the line of scrimmage for LSU. And on third down, they shifted tight ends Chase Clement and Travis Dickson to the right side of the formation — a nod toward the direction of the run.
So, the question is whether an alternative approach might have produced a different outcome lingers.
"The play call against anyone else might have been a great play call, you know?" Landry said. "Our ability and the things we were doing that night, it seemed like everything was working for us. An unpredictable scenario took place at the end."
Still, the entire issue is distilled to a simple essence.
"Any offense in that situation has the same mentality," Mettenberger said. "Get first downs and wins."

UC Hastings has long been known for its strong support of students who wish to pursue careers in public interest and social justice law.
The school has had a Social Justice Lawyering Concentration since 2007. Each year, the college graduates law students who go on to work in public service agencies and public interest organizations around the country.
Those students frequently get their start at unpaid summer positions, beginning after their first year of study. Each year, the UC Hastings Public Interest Foundation (HPILF) raises funds for stipends to make this work and vital job experience possible.
This year, HPILF raised more than $70,000, which will fund $4,000 stipends for 22 students. Yet more than 82 students applied for summer grants this year.
Jessie Cassella, co-president of HPILF, said the group was only able to provide 13 grants last year. "Our auction was really successful this year, and we've been fortunate to receive additional donations from students, alumni, and faculty.
"As I read through these applications, I was struck by how each person deserved a grant. If I could fund each of them myself, I would!" Cassella said.
Grant recipients consistently report the summer work launched their careers. "The HPILF grant leveled the playing field so I was able to choose what I wanted to do based on my passion and commitment to serving low-income communities, and not based on financial need," said 3L Nancy Li, who received a 2013 HPILF grant for her summer work at the Sacramento County Public Defender's Office.
For 2L Sonya Rahders, the grant means she can continue working for gender equality and reproductive justice. Rahders has a BA in Sociology with a minor in Women's Studies from UCLA, and is the incoming Editor-in-Chief of the Hastings Women's Law Journal. She has also served as president of UC Hastings Law Students for Reproductive Justice, and as co-director of development for HPILF. She is completing course work for the Social Justice Lawyering Concentration.
This summer, she will be at the ACLU of Southern California's Reproductive Justice, LGBT Rights and Gender Equity Project. When describing her motivation for public interest work, Sonya explained, "I came to Hastings because I believe that the law has tremendous power to effect social change, and I feel like I have a real responsibility to use my educational privilege to make that change happen. HPILF and the Social Justice Concentration provide invaluable resources and a strong community that have reminded me this work is not only necessary, it is actually possible."
Students work at state and federal agencies and groups that serve the environment, the LGBTQ community, domestic violence survivors, children, immigrants, local tenants, the disabled, and others.
Agencies and placements include:
"HPILF is a student-run organization. HPILF's work enables our students to gain meaningful legal experience and improve the lives of hundreds of Californians," said Nancy Stuart, Associate Dean for Experiential Learning. "I'm happy to support their efforts to fund summer grants to make this work possible, and hope you will too!"
It's not too late to fund one of the more than 60 students who did not receive a grant for their work this summer. To learn more how you can contribute, click here.

I am a new muslim and this is my 2nd ramadan fasting. My family is still disbeleivant and I pray and fast without their knowledge. At home, I pray only fajr and Isha prayers, and other prayers I pray outside ( i.e. at school, at muslim center or at friend's house). Whenever I pray at home I lock my bedroom door and pray. My sister also shares bedroom with me. This is what happened when I was praying Isha prayer at home. I locked the door before I started praying but somehow it didn't lock. I prayed first rakaa and I got up from sujud and reciting alfatiha and suddenly my sister opened the door. i got scared and i did not finish praying isha at that time i let her in. and after few hours i prayed isha again. i just want to know, what is the ruling on not praying while you intended to pray 4 rakaa and what should I have done.
We congratulate you for the blessing of Islam, and we ask Allaah to make you steadfast and to help you and strengthen your faith. And we ask Him to guide all your family and your siblings, so that you will be a means of their success.
If you are afraid to declare your Islam and fear that some harm may be befall you, or if you want to delay telling people until you have learned more about Islam and are able to call your family to Islam, there is nothing wrong with you doing that. There is also nothing wrong with your stopping the prayer if you are afraid that someone will see you.
The basic principle is that when the Muslim has started an obligatory prayer, he is obliged to complete it, and it is haraam for him to stop it, unless he has an excuse.
The fuqaha' have listed some excuses which make it permissible to stop the prayer. These include:
- Fear of being harmed by an enemy or a wild animal.
- Fear for one's wealth or property, such as if a person is praying and someone comes who wants to take his property, or he fears that his mount will run away.
- Stopping the prayer in order to save someone from a fire or from drowning, or fear that a blind man may fall into a well.
See Radd al-Muhtaar, 1/654; al-Mabsoot, 3/2; Kashshaaf al-Qinaa', 1/380.
If you fear harm to yourself if any of your family see you praying and find out that you are a Muslim, there is no sin on you if you stop praying at that time, then pray after the danger has passed, which is what you did.
You should strive to learn the rulings of Islam and keep company with good believing women, who will help you to obey Allaah. Think about the best way to call your family to Islam and strive to do that, for they are the most entitled of all people to your good treatment and da'wah.
May Allaah help us and you to do that which He loves and which pleases Him.
And Allaah knows best.

Los Angeles punk
Chris Harris
In 1983, KTTV Channel 11 News aired a series of reports on Punk Rock and "punkers" in Los Angeles area. It's a fascinating over-view of the West Coast Punk bands, people and fashions, though at times veers into self-parody, as reporter Chris Harris pitches his story with all the earnestness of an Alan Partridge, who thinks he's uncovered a Pulitzer-winning scoop of teenage "violence, abuse and self-destruction", only to find it's all just a bit of fun.
Harris kicks off his 5-part investigation with a look at a riot in Mendiola's Ballroom, explaining what happened and asking that always pertinent question:
"Did the police use excessive force?"
I think we know the answer to that. Three cheers then, for Harris as he states quite categorically that violence was the exception and not the norm with "punkers".
Listening to some of these young people talk, one could almost imagine they were talking about current events and OWS, as they discuss hopes for change, and that "the world will get better." Plus ca change…
The series includes rarely seen footage of many of LA's punk bands, and has interviews the likes of Spit Stix and Lee Ving of Fear, Keith Morris of Circle Jerks, Nick Lamagna and Felix Alanis from RF7.
Also, look out for a young Flea, seen here just prior to his quitting Fear and joining the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Panther Ridge is a non-profit conservation center in Wellington, Florida that provides a home, haven and hope for some of the world's most majestic and endangered big cats.
Judy Berens founded Panther Ridge in 1999. Today she provides a home to nearly two dozen such animals (as well as numerous barn cats and horses). Most of them are rescued from threatening situations in which they had been abused, abandoned or neglected. Panther Ridge's custom-built facilities are among the finest in the world, providing the cats with native-like habitats, protection from the elements, ample rule to roam, stimulation, and daily attention to their medical needs.
Once a cat is accepted by Panther Ridge, its needs are met for the rest of its natural life; never again will it be in need of a home, or be at risk of neglect or mishandling. Such a lifetime commitment is challenging – and very costly. For example, the cats at Panther Ridge consume some 100 pounds of meat and supplements every day. Many also have chronic health problems that require continuing veterinary care. What's more, as the number of abandoned, neglected or abused animals continues to grow, we feel an urgent need to expand our facilities so that we can help more animals, while still maintaining our high standards.
Panther Ridge relies heavily on contributions from corporations, individual patrons and veterinary facilities.
In addition to sheltering exotic cats, Panther Ridge is both an education and research facility. School groups are able to visit, interact with, and learn about endangered species in an intimate experience that few zoos could ever replicate. Panther Ridge also works cooperatively with other conservation centers around the world; shares information about the cats' nutrition, medical care, breeding and behavior; and helps to raise money for the protection of big cats and their habitats. Panther Ridge is accredited by the Feline Conservation Federation and the USDA; and is permitted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Panther Ridge Conservation Center applied for 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation status in 2003, and is registered with the state of Florida under the Solicitation of Contributions Act. A copy of the official registration (# CH15293) and financial information may be obtained from the Florida Division of Consumer Services by calling 1-800-425-7353 (toll free from within Florida). Registration does not imply endorsement, approval or recommendation by the state of Florida.
About Judy Berens
Judy Berens, founder and director of the Panther Ridge Conservation Center, has been fascinated with animals her entire life. A graduate of Vassar College with an MBA from the University of Miami, she became a highly successful equestrienne for many years.
It wasn't until she reached her mid 40s that she was able to pursue her goal of working with exotic cats. This effort ultimately led to the creation of Panther Ridge.
In the early 1990s, Judy had the inspiration to become legally licensed to own an exotic pet. She pursued the permit process for 18 months and, when finished, chose an ocelot as her first cat. That first cat, Sabrina, helped Judy begin a journey of learning and personal growth that now encompasses a family of 18 cats and eight species.
Over the years, Judy and Panther Ridge have expanded their mission to include interest in worldwide conservation with an emphasis on endangered species.

The countdown to the eagerly-awaited British & Irish Lions tour to Australia intensified at the weekend with the final round of pool action in the Heineken Cup and the Amlin Challenge Cup.
As we all tick off the days until the team depart Down Under, ESPNscrum will cast an eye across the action and pinpoint those players eligible for the elite tourists who are pushing their selection claims with strong performances. But luckily there is still a lot of rugby to be played until the squad board the plane for Hong Kong and plenty of time for hopes to rise and fall.
15. Stuart Hogg (Glasgow)
His team-mate Peter Horne may have stolen the headlines with a match-winning try against Northampton, but he could not completely overshadow the contribution of Hogg who shone on his return to the Glasgow line-up.
14. Chris Ashton (Saracens)
The England winger didn't see a great deal of the ball during his side's crucial Heineken Cup victory over Edinburgh but when he did he made it count with a try in each half - the second a majestic score courtesy of an Owen Farrell cross-kick.
13. Brian O'Driscoll (Leinster)
The veteran centre shrugged off the disappointment of seeing the Ireland captaincy pass to Jamie Heaslip by returning to what he does best - inspiring those around him with his own endeavour. There's still plenty of life left in BOD who also notched his 32nd Heineken Cup try in the process.
12. Paddy Wallace (Ulster)
Ulster may have been some way from their best in edging out Castres, but Wallace did not shy away from the task and his efforts helped to wear down their hosts at the Stade Pierre Antoine.
11. Simon Zebo (Munster)
The Ireland international grabbed a hat-trick of tries as Munster powered past Racing Metro at Thomond Park and grabbed a place in the last eight of the Heineken Cup at Leinster's expense. Just the latest eye-catching display from one of the rising stars of Irish rugby.
10. Jonathan Sexton (Leinster)
Sexton orchestrated a vital bonus point win for Leinster at Exeter that may not have been enough to keep their euro hopes alive but it did serve as the latest example of his superb game management - with the odd bit of sublime handling thrown in for good measure.
9. Conor Murray (Munster)
Murray get his side on their way with the opening try at Thomond Park and was pivotal in making sure the hosts made the most of their one-man advantage and notched the bonus point that would prolong their Heineken Cup campaign.

The all-action loose-head produced a Man of the Match performance against Exeter - solid at the set-piece and a dynamo in loose and most devastatingly with ball in hand.
2. Neil Clark (Exeter Chiefs)
Clark typified the gutsy showing from Chiefs against Leinster at Sandy Park with the hooker also burrowing over for a try. This was Exeter's first Heineken Cup appearance and they have not looked out of place once thanks to the efforts of Clark and co.
3. Matt Stevens (Saracens)
The Sarries tight-head delivered an assured performance in difficult conditions at Vicarage Road. A steadying force at scrum time, Stevens also got on the end of an excellent driving move to claim a try.
4. Steve Borthwick (Saracens)
The Sarries skipper led by example as his side bowed out at Vicarage Road with victory over Edinburgh. His usual steadying presence at lineout time, Borthwick was just as active in the loose as spurred his side on to their eventual bonus point triumph.
5. Donnacha Ryan (Munster)
Singled out for praise by Munster boss Rob Penney following their victory over Racing Metro, Ryan looms large as real Lions prospect - sure to be at the heart of Ireland's forthcoming Six Nations campaign.
6. Kelly Brown (Saracens)
Brown's hunger for work during his side's Heineken Cup victory over Edinburgh could not be questioned with the Scotland international racking up an outstanding 15 tackles to help stop his countrymen in their tracks.
7. Tommy O'Donnell (Munster)
The up-and-coming Munster back-row racked up some pretty impressive stats against Racing Metro - galloping a match-leading 72m with ball in hand to put his backs to shame while getting his hands dirty elsewhere.
8. Jamie Heaslip (Leinster)
If you were in any doubt as to why Heaslip was handed the Ireland captaincy for the Six Nations, the player himself offered a powerful reminder of his prowess as his side saw off Exeter. A try was due reward for his standard-setting work rate.

It is thought that dicyanopolyynes could be potentially abundant interstellar molecules, although their lack of dipole moment makes it impossible to detect them through radioastronomical techniques.
Recently, the simplest member of this chemical family, cyanogen (NCCN), was indirectly probed for the first time in interstellar space through the detection of its protonated form toward the dense clouds L483 and TMC-1. Here we present a second firm evidence of the presence of NCCN in interstellar space, namely the detection of the metastable and polar isomer isocyanogen (CNCN). This species has been identified in L483 and tentatively in TMC-1 by observing various rotational transitions in the 3 mm band with the IRAM 30m telescope. We derive beam-averaged column densities for CNCN of 1.6e12 cm-2 in L483 and 9e11 cm-2 in TMC-1, which imply fractional abundances relative to H2 in the range (5-9)e-11. While the presence of NCCN in interstellar clouds seems out of doubt owing to the detection of NCCNH+ and CNCN, putting tight constraints on its abundance is still hampered by the poor knowledge of the chemistry that links NCCN with NCCNH+ and especially with CNCN. We estimate that NCCN could be fairly abundant, in the range 1e-9 - 1e-7 relative to H2, as other abundant nitriles like HCN and HC3N.

AngularJS sites are a joy to build, maintain and visit. But testing them? "Joy" is probably not the word. The dynamic, single page nature of these sites means that most of your standard testing approaches have to be thrown out the window. Here are a few common mistakes and how to prevent them.
Don't do it! Everything might look fine in preview mode, but for reasons outlined below, it's unlikely that the changes will be consistently visible once you launch the experiment. You're gonna have to write some code!
Your site probably loads quickly, which is great for your visitors but confusing for the Optimizely snippet. If your experiment code modifies elements that are added dynamically after page load, it may work in local preview mode — it may even work sometimes when the experiment is running. But the delay between DOM ready and the element's actual appearance is a dangerous time during which your code will happily execute, find nothing to modify, and return.
You can solve this problem with a simple polling pattern, but at CROmetrics we usually take advantage of our own Eric Newland's jQuery-onMutate plugin . Whatever route you choose, just be sure you take nothing for granted in terms of what's on the page when your experiment runs.
If your code involves filling form inputs, you can't get away with a simple
$('input-selector').val('New Value');
That's because
in this context refers to Optimizely's and Angular won't be listening for changes from elements selected by that library. Instead, try
window.jQuery('input-selector'.val('New Value').change();
to make sure your update registers and passes site validation. (This is as good a time as any to remind you that
itself may or may not be present at the time your experiment code executes.)
A typical A/B test involves running a script every time a page loads. If a visitor navigates back to the page, the page loads again, the script runs again, and they see the variation again. Perfect. AngularJS sites don't work that way, though.
Navigation in an Angular site is not about page loads — it's about routes and views. Imagine a visitor navigates to a page on your site, your experiment code runs and they see the variation. So far so good. But then they navigate to another part of the site and come back. There's no page load, so your code won't run again. They'll see the original (unmodified) version of the page. There go your results!

The concept of committing a transaction is necessary to separate preliminary estimates from final sales. Many types of connectors exist, for example:
Here's how to implement
for each of these scenarios.
For software that considers all transactions final, you will create a transaction directly using the
"commit": "true"
flag in the
API call.
Creating transactions directly in
status is covered in
Statement Clutch Be Aloha by VIDA VIDA BZqmAj
For software that permits transactions to be verified after creation, transactions are created with the Commit flag set to false. Transactions that have not been committed are stored with the status code Saved. They are considered to be provisional; they will not be reported to a tax authority until they have been verified.
Your back-end system should provide a way for your management team to review
transactions and perform reconciliation. A good way to design a verification process for a back-end systems team is to call
Womens Cofre Cotogross Mini Calf Hair Satchel Cartujano Espaa A8AWACE2C
and pass in the parameter
$filter=status eq Saved
. This API call will list all transactions for your company that have not yet finished reconciliation, and you can use this to display a queue of transactions to be reconciled.
When a transaction has been reconciled and is final, your software will use the
Nile shoulder bag Grey Chlo XHbHxTl38w
API call to mark the transaction as committed. Here's how to commit a transaction:
Now that you have this process in place, let's verify that your connector can set up a one-stage transaction correctly. This test case is required only for connectors that use one-stage reconciliation.
Some companies prefer to have multiple stages of reconciliation. In this case, a transaction can go through three statuses:
, and
The three stages work as follows:
In the two-stage reconciliation process, additional verification features are available. When you call
, you can optionally choose to assert that the transaction's amount matches an amount in a different ledger. Here's how the
BAGS Shoulder bags Corsia SCNGP4e0g3
call works:
Marks the end of a successful implicit or explicit transaction. If @@TRANCOUNT is 1, COMMIT TRANSACTION makes all data modifications performed since the start of the transaction a permanent part of the database, frees the resources held by the transaction, and decrements @@TRANCOUNT to 0. If @@TRANCOUNT is greater than 1, COMMIT TRANSACTION decrements @@TRANCOUNT only by 1 and the transaction stays active.
Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions
transaction_name APPLIES TO: SQL Server and Azure SQL DatabaseAPPLIES TO:
Is ignored by the SQL Server Database Engine. transaction_name specifies a transaction name assigned by a previous BEGIN TRANSACTION. transaction_name must conform to the rules for identifiers, but cannot exceed 32 characters. transaction_name can be used as a readability aid by indicating to programmers which nested BEGIN TRANSACTION the COMMIT TRANSACTION is associated with.
@tran_name_variable APPLIES TO: SQL Server and Azure SQL Database
Is the name of a user-defined variable containing a valid transaction name. The variable must be declared with a char, varchar, nchar, or nvarchar data type. If more than 32 characters are passed to the variable, only 32 characters will be used; the remaining characters are truncated.
DELAYED_DURABILITY APPLIES TO: SQL Server and Azure SQL Database
Option that requests this transaction be committed with delayed durability. The request is ignored if the database has been altered with
. See the topic
Control Transaction Durability
for more information.
It is the responsibility of the Transact-SQL programmer to issue COMMIT TRANSACTION only at a point when all data referenced by the transaction is logically correct.
If the transaction committed was a Transact-SQL distributed transaction, COMMIT TRANSACTION triggers MS DTC to use a two-phase commit protocol to commit all of the servers involved in the transaction. If a local transaction spans two or more databases on the same instance of the Database Engine, the instance uses an internal two-phase commit to commit all of the databases involved in the transaction.
When used in nested transactions, commits of the inner transactions do not free resources or make their modifications permanent. The data modifications are made permanent and resources freed only when the outer transaction is committed. Each COMMIT TRANSACTION issued when @@TRANCOUNT is greater than 1 simply decrements @@TRANCOUNT by 1. When @@TRANCOUNT is finally decremented to 0, the entire outer transaction is committed. Because transaction_name is ignored by the Database Engine, issuing a COMMIT TRANSACTION referencing the name of an outer transaction when there are outstanding inner transactions only decrements @@TRANCOUNT by 1.

Lots happening in the world of Irish genealogy, so today I will bring you the highlights.
CHANGES AT THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF IRELAND (NLI). Going to Ireland this spring or summer to research? Be aware that the National Library has changed its hours for the reading rooms. Beginning this week, the new reading room hours will be Monday to Wednesday 9:30 to 19:45, Thursday and Friday 9:30 to 16:45, and Saturday 9:30 to 12:45. Also, a new boon for researchers--you can now pre-order manuscripts, books, and microfilms BEFORE your visit. Your materials will be ready for you when you arrive. While at the NLI, you can also reserve items for the next day. This change is a very important time saver for family historians. When I researched the Wandesforde papers in the manuscript reading room, a good third of my time was spent filling out order forms and waiting for the runners to retrieve the files. While the runners were prompt and service was wonderful, I did lose valuable research time waiting for files. This change provides us with tons more time for research. Remember that PREPARATION is the key to a successful research trip to Ireland!
IRELAND REACHES OUT TO DESCENDANTS OF EMIGRANTS. Thanks to my friend Rosemarie, who made me aware of a new program that is being launched in Ireland to identify and to welcome the descendants of emigrants. That's correct--not only are we searching for our ancestors, Ireland is searching for us! This summer, a family and local history celebration will be held for descendants of emigrants from southeast Galway. If you have Galway ancestors, be sure to check out the upcoming WEEK OF WELCOMES : IRELANDXO.ORG
DICK EASTMAN ARTICLE ON IRISH PENSION RECORDS. Dick Eastman recently published a blog article about Irish pension records being made available (for a fee) online by Irish-Genealogy.com. The pension records and forms are important to many researchers because they can contain information that is lacking due to the loss of census records. However, I would urge readers to read the comment section after Dick's blog post, as the comments contain valuable information regarding the records.

Wapakoneta notches league win over Kenton
Sports Editor
A strong start in the fourth period by the Wapakoneta Redskins allowed them to pull away Thursday for a victory over the Kenton Wildcats.
Leading by nine, 42-33, entering the final period, the Redskins quickly pushed their lead to 15 in less than 2 minutes and to 20 points another 2 minutes later.
The result was a 62-43 win in a Western Buckeye League varsity girls basketball contest in the Wapakoneta High School gymnasium.
Although the Redskins led virtually the entire game, they had to work in the second half to gain control.
After a 22-9 first-period lead, Wapak saw Kenton's Brooke Bostelman grab 13 points by the end of the half, as the Wildcats reduced their deficit to six, 30-24, at halftime, outscoring Wapak 15-8 in the period.
The Redskins' response the second half was to faceguard Bostelma, trying to deny her touches as much as possible, using Morgan Miller, Megan Fisher and Faith Hensley for the assignment.
"Those three did a nice job, especially Morgan Miller. She's kind of our defensive specialist anyway," Allen said. "We had good help side defense, too, so not only did those three individuals do a nice job of faceguarding her, the other four did well with team defense."
Although Bostelman tallied another 13 points in the second half, Wapak coach Rusty Allen believes faceguarding Bostelman took her out of the flow of Kenton's offense.
"We watched a little film on her," Allen said. "She scored against 30 against Defiance, so we knew she was capable of scoring points. We went into tonight saying we're going to try to slow her down.
"She got 26 points but 12 were from the foul line, so she had to work for them.
"We really slowed her down. It may not look like we slowed her down in terms of the box score, but she wasn't in the flow of the game."
The Redskins increased their lead to after three periods, 42-33, and doubled up Kenton, 20-10, in the fourth.
Sara Warner notched 20 points to lead Wapak. Carly Buzzard added 16 points, and Megan Watt notched 11, including seven in the first quarter with Warner sitting due to foul trouble.
"Sara had 20, and Buzzard logged a lot of minutes tonight. Those two did a good job," Allen said. "Hats off to Megan Watt. She kind of carried us when Sara got in foul trouble."
Wapak reached 60-plus points on the scoreboard Thursday, now doing so in all five of its games this season.
Although the Redskins put up 60 in a loss Tuesday to Allen East, Allen was displeased with his team's execution that night.
The coach evaluated Thursday's offensive performance, with just one day off between games.
"We were much better. We slowed down a bit," Allen said. "Our execution offensively was better. We had more patience and took care of the ball better."
Allen noted the progress of sophomore post Riley Culver after Thursday's game.
She is starting to see increased minutes after missing the season opener with an injury.
"Riley had some nice minutes for us tonight," Allen said Thursday. "We're trying to get her back into the flow of things, trying to get her confidence up. When people miss, even two weeks, that's a big deal. It takes a lot to get back into the swing of things. You've got to be in shape. She's starting to get back into game shape.
"If we can get her going, we've got some good things to look forward to. Scheduling-wise, it will work out for us."
The Redskins won the junior varsity game Thursday, 46-31.
Blasia Moyler scored 20 points for Wapak.

Home > Newsroom > News Search > Alamance Regional Medical Center Opens Healing Garden
Published on May 21, 2014
A new healing garden has opened to patients and visitors of Alamance Regional Medical Center. The two-acre garden is the final part of a series of building projects that added a new cancer center, expanded the emergency department and brought larger, more modern operating rooms online at the hospital.
The landscaped healing garden is filled with trees and flowering plants surrounding a walkway that snakes through it. "This garden adds so much to the care we are able to give our patients and the support we can provide their families," says Cone Health Executive Vice President and Alamance Regional Medical Center President Preston Hammock. "Chemotherapy patients can look out upon this beautiful space while undergoing treatment. Families and visitors can find solace walking through nature. Our employees can unwind by taking lunch or dinner at one of the tables along the garden's edges. We are very thankful to have this garden."
The $1.3 million project was a gift to the hospital from the community. "The hospital takes care of the medical needs," says Ted Chandler who was co-chair of the Cultivating Hope Capital Campaign. "The community's efforts add those extras that lift the spirit and make a hospital stay a better experience." The fund-raising campaign exceeded its goal, raising more than $3 million to add patient-centered amenities, such as the healing garden, to the new cancer center. Supporters of the campaign include hospital employees, local businesses and community members.
On the end of the garden closest to the hospital, sits a large round work of art called "The Serenity Sculpture." It is the work of Matthew Placzek who created it to evoke healing qualities in the mind, body and spirit. "Through the efforts of the community and this healing garden, those qualities all come together at Alamance Regional," says Hammock.

SamMobile reports that Samsung is scheduled to unveil the Galaxy S IV on March 14th at a press event in New York City. The information comes from Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin, who has a decent track record with unannounced smartphones.
Previous rumors suggested that Samsung might announce the Galaxy S IV on March 15th or March 22nd, so most of the industry insiders are expecting some kind of event in March. Last year Samsung announced the Galaxy S III on May 3rd in London, so it would be surprising to see them announce their next flagship device a couple months earlier this year.
According to SamMobile, the Galaxy S IV is rumored to include the "Exynos 5 Octa (8-Core) CPU, Mali-T678 (8-Core) GPU, 4.99″ SuperAMOLED Full HD Resolution Display, 2GB of RAM, 13 Megapixel Rear facing Camera capable of shooting 1080p Full HD Videos at 30FPS, 2 Megapixel front facing camera capable of shooting 720p HD Videos and run Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box."
If this Samsung reveal date is accurate, it could be a major blow to HTC who has their own press event scheduled for tomorrow. HTC is widely expected to announce their next flagship phone (codename M7) and rumors suggest it could go on sale by March 22nd.
That means HTC could have their flagship device in retails stores before Samsung, but Samsung could persuade smartphone buyers to delay their purchases by revealing details of the Galaxy S IV before the HTC device goes on sale. Expect more details in the coming weeks.
Update: Chris Ziegler of The Verge reports that the Galaxy S IV will "definitely" be announced on March 14th.

Proponents try new message on immigrant tuition
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Advocates are touting the economic and educational benefits of allowing young illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition, trying out a new pitch in their effort to lower educational costs for high school graduates brought illegally to the U.S. by their parents.
In a news conference Monday, leaders from several of Oregon's largest business groups said the tuition measure would help ensure an educated workforce.
"We all know that access to post-secondary education leads to significantly higher wages for individuals and increased economic success for businesses," said Greg Miller, a senior official from Weyerhaeuser Company and a board member at Associated Oregon Industries. "By providing this opportunity for more students, we're strengthening the state's economy."
The issue has stoked strong emotions on both sides for years. Critics say the state shouldn't subsidize tuition for people who won't be able to legally work in the United States when they're done with school. Critics also contend that providing benefits for illegal immigrants creates incentives for people to cross the border illegally, and offers illegal immigrants a financial benefit that isn't available to American citizens living in other states.
"Somewhere along the line somebody's got to start thinking straight on this issue," said Jim Ludwick, a vocal opponent of illegal immigration. "If we give a $20,000 discount to a student who can't use their degree because they can't work here, how much sense does that make?"
Lawmakers will hear from the public in committee hearing on Wednesday. The measure seems primed for success this year with support from Gov. John Kitzhaber and legislators from both parties. Two years ago, a similar measure passed the Senate but did not get a vote in the House amid opposition from Republican leaders.
Twelve other states allow resident tuition for illegal immigrants, according to the National Immigration Law Center. Colorado lawmakers are considering similar legislation that has already passed a Senate committee.
The economic arguments are not new, but proponents are putting a sharper focus on them after failed efforts in years past.
"Without tuition equity, many Oregon students will not be able to get above a high school education and will not have access to an associate or bachelor's degree and the increased earning potential that comes with both," said Andrew Colas, president and chief operating officer of Colas Construction of Portland and a board member at the Oregon Business Association.
Representatives of the Portland Business Alliance and the Oregon Association of Nurseries also backed the measure, House Bill 2787. Twelve lawmakers have signed on as co-sponsors of the measure, including three Republicans.
The measure would allow illegal immigrants to pay resident tuition at Oregon's seven public universities if they've graduated from an Oregon high school and lived in the United States for at least five years, at least three of them in Oregon. They'd have to sign an affidavit swearing they'll apply to legalize their immigration status as soon as they're legally eligible.
Illegal immigrants can't legally work in the United States, but proponents say President Barack Obama's push for a federal immigration overhaul could create a pathway to citizenship for many. They say children have no control over the decision to immigrate without legal documents.
Resident tuition and fees for 15 credits at the University of Oregon, the average course load, are currently $9,310 per year. For nonresidents, it's $28,650.

I've spent the last 9+ years breathing the hot air of marketing soothsayers. It's unavoidable. Whether you're a CMO or Brand Manager, a Creative Director or Account Planner, or a Media Planner or Marketing Analyst, you've been subjected to all the "new" and "change" and "disruption" of the industry. And while there is fire somewhere deep in all that smoke, I'm not sure the size and direction of it is represented well through all the talking head puffery.
Back when I was a talking head myself, my sole role at the Agency being the "Innovation Guy," I presented to a global CMO, 3 hours worth, on all the new. But my partner and I anchored our presentation with the simple fact — humans don't change much. And we don't. What and who we are change at the pace of glaciers. "How" we are changes like the wind. It's easy to get caught up in the new "how." Industries are being built on leveraging the ever-changing "how" of our "real-time" lives. But the key to staying ahead of the next how is to start from what and who — rooting yourself in what doesn't change helps you evaluate meaningful change and differentiate it from chaos or noise.
So rather than talking about what is changing in marketing and advertising, let's start with what doesn't change. Branding and advertising have always been about influencing and teaching through story. Stories have been one of the most powerful media agnostic forms of teaching since the birth of language. The difference today is the format and medium of that storytelling is no longer as simple as an oral tradition passed on in small geographically constrained ways. It's not as simple as a written document reproduced and distributed with wide reach at high latency. In fact, it's beyond reach and speed. Stories now have more reach and speed than ever before, but they also take on limitless shapes, forming and reforming across mediums in place and time, shaped continually by many tellers and retellers.
Marketers are struggling with how they best influence that story. And in the process, they are experimenting with new forms of storytelling.
But I think there is a very different (and complementary) approach. While stories, at their best, can inspire people to think and feel differently, and even to act, they aren't very effective at teaching people how to act. Marketing isn't just about branding and advertising, it's about helping people buy, use, and advocate for your product/service. The more disruptive the "how" of your product, the more time you need to spend teaching people the "how." If stories aren't enough, what are?
Games are not stories. It is interesting to make the comparison, though: Games tend to be experiential teaching. Stories teach vicariously. Games are good at objectification. Stories are good at empathy. Games tend to quantize, reduce, and classify. Stories tend to blur, deepen, and make subtle distinctions. Games are external—they are about people's actions. Stories (good ones, anyway) are internal—they are about people's emotions and thoughts. A Theory of Fun For Game Design - Raph Koster
Could games be the answer? Not directly, no. I am NOT saying you should build "gamification" into your marketing plan. You have to go deeper into what a game really is:
They are ""iconified representations of human experience that we can practice with and learn patterns from."
The risk, and probably aversion to this train of thought, is that you end up with very rational, practical communication that does nothing for you. It's more than that. I'm not talking product demos, product cut-aways, making ofs, etc. Games have a more powerful impact. They influence in more subtly fun ways.
Games have these characteristics: They present us with models of real things—often highly abstracted. They are generally quantified or even quantized models. They primarily teach us things that we can absorb into the unconscious as opposed to things designed to be tackled by the conscious, logical mind. They mostly teach us things that are fairly primitive behaviors, but they don't have to. A Theory of Fun For Game Design - Raph Koster
Primitive behaviors — now you're talking. That's the power of games. You simplify complex reality into the core essence, create methods for learning the patterns and actions of that reality that are fun, and people actually change their behavior as a result.
I started this whole thing off with marketing and advertising. Here's what I'm proposing: to leverage the power of games in a marketing context, you have to move beyond simple gamification tactics. You have to define the essence of your experience, then build fun ways for people to learn the patterns of that experience.
More on that to come…

Information Sciences Major Requirements | Information Sciences Minor Requirements | Course Descriptions
The central organizing concept of this major is information — its structures in verbal, visual, and quantitative forms; its storage, analysis, evaluation, processing and communication by both machines and people. The program depends on current technologies and continues to evolve as technologies change. Students can expect curricular additions and should consult with their adviser early and often to be aware of pending changes.
The curriculum ranges widely across several disciplines, all of which are represented in the core requirements. They include computing, linguistics, cognitive psychology, communication theory, organizational communication and management, mathematics, data and information technologies, and language.
Computing represents an important dimension of this major, but students also are expected to be thoroughly grounded in human language, human information processing, and communication. This helps ensure against narrow technical preparation, which too often leads to rapid obsolescence in rapidly changing fields, and it prepares students to make the most creative and useful applications of various information technologies.
A goal of the program is to train students to conceptualize and solve information problems in interdisciplinary situations. A core introductory course focuses on information problems; most of the courses require projects, and many demand group work. A research project or internship is also required of all majors. Moreover, each student negotiates an individual area of emphasis. This requirement is an opportunity to apply information principles to a particular problem area or to gain further tools for a specific career direction. Students also develop a personal portfolio that documents many of their skills and areas of expertise. Finally, students complete an advanced information problems capstone course which integrates skills and knowledge acquired in the major.
Career paths for Information Sciences graduates are changing rapidly and UW-Green Bay graduates report that the breadth of this program has been important to them. Some have essentially created their own positions. Some have pursued graduate work. Others have entered a wide variety of jobs after graduation in areas such as programming and software design, advertising, marketing and sales, systems analysis, and human resources. The required portfolio has proven to be an excellent means of attracting the attention and interest of prospective employers or for admission to graduate schools.
The minor in Information Sciences focuses on information problems, information technologies, and information structures. It can be structured with or without programming skills.
In addition to the major and minor in Information Sciences, UW-Green Bay also offers a disciplinary major and minor in Computer Science. The programs in Information Sciences and in Computer Science all require early and frequent consultations with faculty advisers.Students may study abroad or at other campuses in the United States through UW-Green Bay's participation in international exchange programs and National Student Exchange. Travel courses are another option for obtaining academic credits and completing requirements.

When a patient is in the hospital, he or she often needs to be given medicines or fluids or have blood. Sometimes this is done through a central line or catheter. A central line is a tube that is put into a large vein, usually in the neck, chest, arm or groin. The line may be left in place for several weeks. The risk of infection increases with the increased duration of time a central line is in place.
If bacteria or other germs get into a central line, they can enter the bloodstream and cause an infection. Signs of such an infection may include fevers and chills. Sometimes, the area around where the tube has been inserted into the vein becomes red or sore.
These types of infections are serious. They often can be treated successfully with antibiotics and removal of the central line.
At Cedars-Sinai, many precautions are taken to prevent central line associated bloodstream infections, including:
As part of its commitment to improving the quality of care given to patients at Cedars-Sinai, the rate of central line infections is monitored carefully.
California hospitals are required to report these infections to the
cheap new Keds Triple Kick Metallic Linen cheap get to buy outlet shopping online QtknZQwCSF
and the National Healthcare Safety Network, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The California department is required to adjust the data for risk factors according to the federal network's protocols. The risk adjustment methodology uses national data to compare the actual number of infections to the expected number, based on the age and health of the surgery patients.
The chart below shows the rate of central line-linked bloodstream infections that occurred in patients in the Adult Intensive Care Units at Cedars-Sinai vs. the expected number.
What Is the Standardized Infection Ratio?
The standardized infection ratio is a summary measure used to track infections at a national, state or local level over time. The ratio compares the actual number of infections reported to what would be predicted, adjusting for risk factors that have been found to be significantly associated with differences in infection incidence. A lower number is better. Impact onStandardized Infection Ratios After 2015 Rebaselining
The National Healthcare Safety Network instituted the new 2015 baseline time period for the number predicted calculation. The data included in the 2015 baseline will serve as a new reference point for comparing progress. CDC expects that hospital standardized infection ratios will increase and shift closer to 1. This shift reflects nationwide improvement in infection prevention from the previous baseline time period.

Therapies with inconsistent cardioprotective efficacy: Many of the cardioprotective therapies that have failed in the clinical setting did not show consistent and robust cardioprotection in the experimental setting. This can be attributed to methodological limitations of the pre-clinical studies including lack of randomization, non-blinded treatment allocation, non-blinded data analysis, lack of standardized animal AMI/HF models and acute IRI protocols, and the lack of rigor in statistical methods. Therefore, more rigorous testing of novel cardioprotective therapies in the experimental setting are required to ensure that only the most promising therapies are investigated in the clinical arena.
To address this, the aim of Working Group 4 (CONSORTIUM) of our EU-CARDIOPROTECTION COST Action will be to set up a European Cardioprotection Consortium (ECC) for multi-center experimental testing of new cardioprotective therapies in clinically relevant small/large animals, and for testing new cardioprotective therapies in proof-of-concept clinical studies in patients subjected to acute IRI including ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients.
Working Group 1: New Targets
The majority of the experimental studies investigating novel cardioprotective therapies have focused on targeting well-established signaling pathways/targets, many of which have not proven to be beneficial in the clinical setting. In some respects, this may have been because the therapy had not been optimized in terms of the experimental setting (dose, acute versus chronic administration and timing of therapy), and in this regard, there is an opportunity to optimize the treatment approach. In other cases, in which treatments have failed, novel therapeutic targets and strategies need to be discovered in order to improve the translation of cardioprotection from the laboratory to the clinical setting. These new cardioprotective strategies should focus on (a) discovering new therapeutic targets in novel cardioprotective pathways within the cardiomyocyte and (b) other components of acute IRI outside of the cardiomyocyte such as the microvasculature, inflammatory cells, and platelets. Potential novel targets for cardioprotection include i) inflammation targets such as macrophages/lymphocytes, RNA/DNA, and inflammasome; ii) novel mechanisms of cell death such as necroptosis and pyroptosis; iii) extracellular matrix; iv) fibroblasts; v) endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle; vi) platelets and vii) novel mitochondrial targets(
Hausenloy et al., 2017b
); and viii) novel insulin targets and zinc-transporters targets associated with sarcolemma, sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum and mitochondria in hyperglycemic, failing and aging heart (

, rates are still expected to go up sometime this year, which is great news if you've been discouraged by the next-to-nothing interest rates banks pay on your savings. But if you have a home equity line of credit or a credit card with an interest rate tied to the rates set by the Federal Reserve, you may be looking at higher payments.
This news can make a big difference if you're on a tight budget, because your payments can go up later this year. If rates do go up, what will it mean to your monthly payments?

at which of your bills will go up when the central bank raises interest rates.
If you already have a low fixed-rate mortgage, you've got nothing to worry about (as long as you don't move and take out a new mortgage). But if you have a home equity line of credit or an adjustable-rate mortgage, you could see your rate -- and payments -- rise. But what will it actually cost you?
Let's say you have a $50,000 balance on a home equity loan that is currently on a 15-year repayment schedule. At a 4.5 percent interest rate, the monthly payment is $382.50. But at a 5.5 percent rate, it goes up to $408.54. And if the rate rises another percentage point to 6.5 percent, the payment goes up to $435.55. The difference on a mortgage with a bigger balance -- say $250,000 -- is even larger. (You can use this home affordability calculator to run the numbers for your own situation.)
Most credit card programs carry variable rates. That means that when interest rates in the economy begin to rise, credit card rates may adjust as well. While you probably won't see a drastic change immediately, it could well be a "frog in the boiling pot of water" situation; gradual rate increases don't feel so bad at first, but over time they make it difficult to pay off the debt ( this calculator can tell you how long it will take you ). It will be even worse if your rates are already steep and continue to rise.
If you don't have a low rate already, consider consolidating debt with a low-interest credit card or personal loan. If you can't qualify due to credit problems, a credit counseling agency may be able to help you lock in lower rates and pay off your balances in five years or less.
Most auto loans carry fixed interest rates but a few have variable interest rates. Auto buyers probably don't need to worry too much about rising rates, Edmunds.com Chief Economist Lacey Plache told us back in January. "Auto makers can and (I expect) will subsidize lower auto loan rates so as not to scare off buyers and lose the strong sales momentum they are enjoying at present," she observes.
If you have a car loan at a decent rate, stick with it. If you will be shopping for a vehicle, shop carefully for the right car and the right auto loan before you walk into a dealership.
Whether rates will increase this month or later this year, the truth is your credit score will likely

What about this sentence. Does useage of Follow up need a hyphen? To me it appears as a noun in this sentence, but (the) does not fit in front of it.
"This column should be listed as OK if no follow up error is determined"
Posted by: Glenna | June 26, 2013 at 06:37 AM
Hi, Glenna. Your "follow-up" is an adjective and needs a hyphen.
You can put "the" in front of it: "This column should be listed as OK if the follow-up error is determined."
Yes, "the" changes the meaning of your sentence, but it does work in that construction.

This is a good post, but it is not entirely accurate. For example, the subject of an email might be "Follow-up to our October meeting." Here, follow-up functions as a noun, but placing "the" in front of follow-up would be awkward ("The follow-up to our October meeting") and perhaps inaccurate. It is not the case, then, that "if you cannot insert the before follow up, you know the phrase is a verb."
Posted by: doug | October 02, 2013 at 01:24 PM
Hi, Doug. You may choose not to place "the" in front of your subject, but you could. It might be slightly awkward, but there's really nothing wrong with it. That's why you know the phrase needs a hyphen.
In contrast, if your subject were "Please Follow Up on Our October Meeting," "the" would make no sense before "follow up." That's how you know the hyphen would be wrong there.
Thanks for the interesting example.

The HTC Incredible S was launched in The Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy yesterday, and normally-blonde Girls Aloud member Sarah Harding even went as far as to dye her hair black to match the handset.
Featuring in both the initial photoshoot and being the face of the phone, if you like, Harding's new look was designed to match the sleek black finish of the new handset. That, or to help her win a part in the next Twilight movie.
"Doing the shoot for the HTC Incredible S really brought out my dark side," she said. "It's the first one I've done since changing my hair colour so it was fun seeing the shots; it felt like I was looking at a different person. What a cool mobile phone to be the face of, I love the slick matte-black design that plays on all the amazing stuff that it's got going on inside. It's the perfect accessory to compliment my new hair colour!"
The HTC Incredible S is a Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy exclusive, and is now available in around 800 stores countrywide. It features a 4.1-inch Super LCD touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera with 720p video shooting ability, and, mercifully, doesn't know any of the words to Love Machine.
