Document Type
We estimated the frequencies of PON1 and PON2 variants (linked genes) in two hospital samples taken from the northern (San Jose´ Hospital, SJH) and eastern (Clı´nica Las Condes, CLC) parts of Santiago, Chile, using the polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction endonuclease digestion. The two hospital samples have different degrees of Amerindian admixture (SJH, 34.5%; CLC, 15.9%), which is reflected in the observed frequencies of the PON1*B allele (SJH, 43.1%; CLC, 33.7%) and the PON2*S allele (SJH, 86.3%; CLC, 77.6%); both allele frequencies are significantly different between samples. The frequencies of the combined PON1–PON2 genotypes *A/*B-*C/*C, *A/*B-*S/*S, and *B/*B-*S/*S and of the haplotypes PON*A,C and PON*B,S were significantly different between the SJH and CLC groups. None of the genotype frequencies deviated significantly from those predicted by the Hardy–Weinberg equation. No linkage disequilibrium was found between the PON1 alleles and any of the PON2 alleles in either group (all p 0.05). In our samples 38.52% (SJH) and 26.25% (CLC) of chromosomes must have the haplotype PON*B,S, presumed to be related to the risk of coronary artery disease. Twenty-four of 193 (12.4%) SJH individuals and 7 of 122 (5.7%) CLC individuals were homozygotes for this haplotype. Finally, our data indicate ethnic-groupdependent genetic differences in the vulnerability to toxic organophosphorus.

I got my hands on Apple's newly unveiled iPad mini at the company's launch event Tuesday, and for those of you who can't wait for the Nov. 2 release, here are some initial thoughts.
Like the iPhone 5, the first thing I noticed about the 7.9-inch tablet was how light it is. And, as Apple executives promised, it does fit comfortably in one hand. (One tech analyst who was also at the event told me he was able to slip the device, which is 7.9 inches tall by 5.3 inches wide, into his back pocket, though he worried about sitting down and breaking it.)
Although the mini's screen doesn't boast the high-resolution retina display found on the latest 9.7-inch iPads, I found the images to be sharp and clear. And, compared with the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD, it was nice to have that extra 0.9 inches of screen size.
Despite Steve Jobs' prediction that consumers would have to "sand down" their fingers to properly use a smaller tablet, I had no problems tapping out a typo-less email to a co-worker from the mini.

Winter, and the associated snow, ice, cold and climatic nastiness that goes with it, will be with us Canadians shortly.
You know that winter tires will make your ride safer if you're driving in winter. You know that you should probably install a set, because they're a good idea.
If you ask someone you know who owns winter tires, they'll tell you they make a big difference for grip, handling, traction and all-around confidence.
They'll tell you, as well, that winter tires pay for themselves the first time you stop clear of an accident situation, rather than winding up in it.
Here's a look at a few key benefits you can expect by installing a set, especially on your newer car, truck or SUV model.
Compromise-free: Winter tires have both a flexible rubber compound and unique tread design that's made exclusively for use on snow, slush and ice and in cold temperatures.
With no compromises made for other seasons, drivers will benefit from significantly increased traction during acceleration, notably shorter stopping distances, and a drastic increase in directional stability at speed.
Where all-season tires are a little bit good in the heat and a little bit good in the cold, winter tires specialize in cold-climate driving, and it shows.
With the compromise-free, cold-climate engineering behind winter tires, drivers can enjoy the cold-weather travel season with peace of mind to spare for themselves, or anyone using their ride.
Maximized AWD performance: All Wheel Drive (AWD) is a favourite bit of powertrain hardware with Canadian shoppers in numerous vehicle types.
Today's latest models have more fast-acting, precise and sophisticated all wheel drive systems than ever, and whether you drive a Subaru, Ford, Acura Hyundai or Mitsubishi, your ride's AWD system reacts with millisecond precision to low-traction situations to keep you and your family safe by supporting you in maintaining vehicle control.
So, if you've invested in AWD, why not consider maximizing the system's performance with a set of winter rubber? Remember: the only way to increase the amount of physical traction between a vehicle and the road's surface is through the tires.
Proper tires for the season gives your AWD system plenty more grip to work with, allowing it to do its job with maximum effectiveness.
Not just for snow and ice: Did you know that all-season or summer performance tires get really, really hard when it's cold outside? Since effective traction relies on tires being soft and malleable against the roads surface, hard tires can be a recipe for disaster.
In cold weather, even on dry roads, the softer, more flexible rubber used in the construction of winter tires provides that all-important give that all-season tires lose when it's cold out.
Translation? Even on dry roads, winter tires work better in the winter.
Longer tire life: It goes without saying, but hey, it's worth a mention. Swapping to a set of winter tires will extend the life of your all-season rubber, while it sits the season out in your garage. This can help offset the up-front cost of your winter tires. Many drivers prefer to mount their winter tires on a set of black steel wheels, and leave the gleaming factory alloys away from the salt and sand.
Enhanced safety system functionality: Never before have automobiles worked so hard to keep drivers and their families safe. Today, highly advanced stability control systems, braking control systems and even hazard-detection features like pre-collision auto-braking are becoming more common.
Remember, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, traction assist and stability control systems don't make traction. They simply help maximize the use of traction that's available. Provide these systems with more physical grip by installing winter tires, and they'll work better at keeping you and yours safe.
Thirty feet: In most driving situations, thirty feet isn't a major distance. It's about as long as a pair of Ford Focuses. The distance across a small intersection. At the highway speed limit, you're covering thirty feet three times per second.
But, when you've got to stop for a red light at a busy intersection covered in snow and ice, that 30 becomes a very, very big deal.
Thankfully, a decent set of winter tires can easily slash 30 feet or more from your stopping distances on snow, possibly making the difference between avoiding and entering an accident.

Work type:Faculty/Academic Staff
Major Administrative Unit / College:College Of Agriculture And Nat Resources
Department:Packaging 10002634
Salary:75000.00-80000.00 Salary Commensurate with Experience
Location:East Lansing
Categories:Full Time (90-100%), Tenure System Faculty, Administrative/Business/Professional, Research/Scientific
Position Summary
The School of Packaging in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State University is seeking qualified applicants for an Assistant Professor position as a Packaging Value Chain expert. This is a tenure stream system position with a research/teaching/service (45%/45%/10%) assignment beginning as early as August 2018.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop a nationally and internationally-recognized program in the value creating role of packaging in various types of supply chains, ranging from traditional retailing and e-commerce of a wide range of products to virtual products in non-traditional contexts. The holistic value of a packaging system involves trade-offs between a series of competing values. Value for a consumer can be experiential, contextual and subjective. Value for the retailer depends on the product's profitability and contribution to cash flow. Value related to logistics includes the cost and efficiency of production, distribution and information/inventory management. Value related to sustainability includes beginning and end-of-life scenarios. Packaging plays a key role in reducing food waste and loss, and contributes to food security. The total system value depends on balancing these needs. Beyond physical protection and resource optimization research could include the role of packaging in information management, including traceability and supply chain data collection.
Research should employ basic and applied sciences while addressing the issues and opportunities inherent in the changing supply chain. MSU encourages interdisciplinary collaboration. Potential cross-university collaboration represents a unique research opportunity that is not available elsewhere, with other renowned programs at MSU, like Supply Chain Management, Biomedical Science, Engineering and production agriculture; and the international out reach of Agriculture, Food and Resource Economics, as well as The Axia Institute. Potential product areas include packaging for food, medical products, consumer goods, as well as industrial products such as automobile parts. Research support facilities available include the Composite Materials and Structures Center, the Center for Advanced Microscopy, and the Institute for Cyber-Enable Research (iCER), home to MSU's High Performance Computing Center (HPCC) among others, in addition to available facilities within the School of Packaging.
As the premier Land Grant University , MSU has strong interrelated programs across the spectrum of food, health, and sustainability and is committed to linking food, environment, and human health. The School of Packaging (SoP), founded in 1952, is the leading institution in packaging education and research. As the only university offering a Ph.D program in packaging, the School of Packaging at MSU attracts students from a variety of disciplines from around the world. The school is poised for significant growth that will support MSU goals. Furthermore, the highly collaborative and productive faculty proves a very positive environment for professional growth and program expansion. The School's reputation was largely founded on the creation and application of fundamental knowledge related to distribution and dynamics, as it affects value of packaged goods. Recognizing the need to continue and bolster this important line of inquiry, a strategic plan developed by the faculty has identified "Packaging Distribution and Value Chain" as one of three key platforms that form the basis for its research, teaching and outreach missions. The other strategic platforms are Packaging Materials and Sustainability, and Food, Health and Biomedical Packaging. We anticipate several faculty hires in the next few years.
The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State University is committed to achieving excellence by creating and sustaining an accessible and inclusive culture that values cultural and academic diversity. We are an equal opportunity/ affirmative action employer. The CANR is particularly interested in candidates of all backgrounds who are committed to the principle that academic excellence is achieved through open access and proactive inclusion.
MSU enjoys a park-like campus with outlying research facilities and natural areas. The campus is located in the city of East Lansing, adjacent to the capital city of Lansing. The Lansing metropolitan area has a diverse population of approximately 450,000. Local communities have excellent school systems and place a high value on education. The University is proactive about its obligations under the ADA, and provides individual accessibility plans to students and employees with disabilities. Michigan State University is also proactive in exploring opportunities for employment for dual career families, both inside and outside the University, and respects all family forms.

My Kill Adore Him is a collection of poems from Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize-winner Paul Martínez Pompa. The book's title is a homophonic translation of the Spanish word maquiladora, which translates into English as "factory" or "sweatshop." With a unique, independent voice, Martínez Pompa interrogates masculinity, race, language, consumerism, and cultural identity in poems that honor los olvidados, the forgotten ones, who range from the usual suspects brutalized by police to factory workers poisoned by their environment, from the victim of a homophobic beating in the boys' bathroom to the body of Juan Doe at the Cook County Coroner's Office. Some of the poems rely on somber, at times brutal, imagery to articulate a political stance while others use sarcasm and irony to deconstruct political stances themselves.
"This is one tough, smart poet. The poems of Paul Martínez Pompa are gritty and visceral, but never cross the line into sensationalism. They are poems that vividly evoke the urban world, especially Chicago, without ever lapsing into urban cliché. They are poems that seek justice for the Latino community without ever resorting to the overheated language that all too often consigns poetry of social conscience to oblivion." — Martín Espada, 2008 Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize judge
84 pages
"In his breathtaking debut poetry collection, Martinez Pompa bursts onto the contemporary Latino scene with literary guns ablaze. He is precisely what we need right now: a brave poet just as critical of himself as he is of others. Within the pages of this clever and brutally honest text lie the words of an old soul—who just happens to be a young poet. Martinez Pompa's youth and aged wisdom coexist in each and every poem, resulting in a fresh, yet deadly serious new voice that is not to be trifled with. . . . Highly recommended reading for anyone on the lookout for what comes next in Latino poetry." — Multicultural Review
"Paul Martinez Pompa's My Kill Adore Him, winner of the 2008 Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize, vividly captures the traumatic experiences of many Latino/a immigrants. . . . Pompa's sensitive eye doesn't take us with the men who find a job for that day, but lingers on the man left behind, the man who will not make any money that day." — Kenyon Review Online
". . . My Kill Adore Him is an exciting and tough collection of very well-composed and accessible poems. It's been a while since I tore through a book of poetry and really enjoyed the read. . . ." — Harriet, a Poetry Foundation blog
" My Kill Adore Him is a collection of poetry from Paul Martinez Pompa focusing on the issues of masculinity, race, and who people are. . . . An entertaining and thought provoking work, highly recommended." — The Midwest Book Review
"Martinez Pompa's collection engages the urban landscape and how its cultural and historical legacies extended south into the border and Mexico itself. . . . As a first collection, My Kill Adore Him . . . is definitely a find, with its impressive range of Latino literary influences, from Herrera to Andres Montoya, to Martin Espada. With such poetic energy and intensity in one book, there's no doubt that Martinez Pompa's next collection will engrave him on the literary map." — El Paso Times
Finalist, 2009 Book of the Year Award for Poetry, ForeWord Magazine

If futures are low, then the market is probably low, and if they are high, the market has a better chance of opening high, according to Zacks. To interpret Dow Jones figures for futures, it is important to understand how they affect the stock market.Continue Reading
A future is a contract that is standardized for selling and buying a specified item with a standardized quantity at a given date and a market-determined price, explains Zacks. Investors can conduct future business through commodities such as currencies, oil, corn and many others, but individuals don't have to own a commodity to get into future contracts.
Dow futures depend on the renowned Dow Jones industrial average (DJIA). A total of 30 stocks make up DJIA, and each future contract is 10 times the value of DJIA. For instance, if the trading of DJIA is at 10,000, the value of the future contract is at $100,000. A 1 unit rise in the value of DJIA translates into a $10 rise in the value of the future contract, as Zacks explains.
There are risks involved when trading the Dow futures because the DJIA experiences fluctuations influenced by factors such as geopolitical events. Investors need to understand these risks well before trading in futures, according to Zacks.Learn more about Investing

Bianca, my sister says. She says it three times, like the charm in a story. Soft, deliberate.
"I'm awake," I say, before I even really know if it's the truth.
Her voice is careful in the dark, like she's afraid she'll startle me, breathing the words instead of speaking them. "There's someone at the door."
The way she leans over me is careful too, like she's trying to keep me calm. It's silly, though. Of the two of us, I'm the one who's never loud. I'm the one who keeps still and doesn't make a fuss.
Outside, the night is strangely pale. Snow has collected on all the window ledges and made its way up the glass, shutting us in like a tomb. In the clear space above the little drifts, it just keeps falling.
Then, without warning, the pounding comes again, echoing from downstairs, booming through the front hall.
"Wait here," she says, taking her cardigan from the back of the desk chair and after a second, the heavy wooden bat.
She leaves, and the whole house is as dark and still as the dead. The power's been out since this afternoon. After a second, I reach for the Coleman lantern beside the bed and turn it on. Then I throw back the covers and follow her.
The lantern casts a dim circle of light, making shadows in all the corners. At the top of the stairs, I stand and listen.
Her feet are light, almost soundless on the floor runner. Then I hear her voice, loud and ferocious, speaking close to the door. "Who are you and what do you want?"
The answer is muffled, low. A man's. "Please, my car went off the road. About a half a mile up Ashbury Drive. It's stuck in the ditch and there's nothing around. Please, if you don't let me in, I'll die out here."
The door distorts most of the sound, but I can still hear the way his voice catches on the last part. Outside, the snow is falling in huge, silent washes, drifting up the sides of the house. It collects in deep hummocks, heavy, soundless, and by morning, we might be buried completely.
"Coral," I say, because if we leave him there on the front steps, he'll freeze. "You have to let him in."
She turns and sees me, standing at the top of the stairs. It's too dark to see faces, but the way her head moves side to side, I can almost watch her making up her mind.
"Oh, all right, fine." She turns the thumb lock and the deadbolt, then steps against the wall before opening the door. Her other hand is tight on the handle of the bat.
The man lumbers inside, shaking the snow from his hair. He's so big that for a second, he seems to fill the doorway, looming in dark silhouette against the white night sky behind him. Then he steps into the light and I can see that it's just his coat. It's a huge down-filled sausage of a coat, swelling out around his body.
He marches in place on the mat, stomping his feet to knock the snow off. He's wearing gray canvas sneakers. A heavy winter parka, but canvas sneakers.
"May I hang up your things?" I say, starting down the stairs.
Coral gives me a quick, incredulous look, but doesn't move to stop me.
The man is peeling out of the coat, dropping snow all over the hall runner, sprinkling the deep wild rose pattern with white.
"I'm sorry," he says, looking truly abashed. "I'm so sorry about the floor. If you want to get me a towel or something, I'll mop it up."
"Why don't you have boots?" I say, coming close enough to see the stubble on his chin, dark and slightly uneven. A little monogram on his shirt cuff, the letters HLD intertwined in navy thread. To smell the wild, acrid tang of his wet hair.
His face is long and almost delicate, younger than I would have guessed. His eyes are brown, dark-lashed, slightly close-set. "Excuse me?"
"Boots. You're wearing a heavy winter coat, but you have no boots."
"Oh," he says, glancing down. "God, would you look at me. Poor planning, I guess."
But the tone of his voice is apologetic. He doesn't meet my eyes when he says it.
"Would you like something hot to drink?"
He nods, letting me take the coat. He's very tall and almost as broad, but he keeps hunching his shoulders like he's trying to make himself smaller.
"Your shoes have no laces," I say as I start for the kitchen. Behind me, I can feel Coral move, choking up on the bat, but she doesn't do anything. It's just an observation.
In the kitchen, I heat milk in a saucepan and add sugar and salt and chocolate syrup. I do it in the dark. As I stand there, warming my hands over the stove, waiting for it to boil, the stillness comes suddenly alive with the sound of breaking glass. When I look around though, the source is mysterious, hard to make out in the dark.
Then I see it.
One of the panes in the kitchen door is gone and a hand is reaching in through the empty space to turn the lock. It's a square, stubby-fingered hand and I go across to the knife block and take out the cleaver before coming up to the door.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I say, leaning close to peer through the glass.
There's a man on the back steps and when he sees me staring out at him, his eyes go wide. "Oh good lord!" he yelps, almost stumbling into the drifted peony bed. "You scared the bejeezus out of me!"
I rest my hand against the door. The wind blowing in through the shattered pane is frigid. "I think that's something I'm supposed to say, considering that you're the one breaking into my house."
"I didn't know anyone was here," he tells me. "No cars out front and the whole place looks deserted. I didn't mean to cause trouble, just needed to find somewhere warm." His teeth are chattering and he's trying to work the feeling back into his hands, rubbing them up and down his arms.
I slip the cleaver into the pocket of my robe and open the door.
We're standing in the kitchen, facing each other across the linoleum, when there's a flare of light and Coral is behind me, holding the lantern and looking thunderous. "What's going on?"
"This gentleman was just looking for someplace to shelter for the night and then he stuck his hand through our window. I thought that since he wanted to see our kitchen so badly, he might as well come in."
Coral says nothing, only holds the lantern up, studying him with her jaw set and the bat hanging menacingly in her other hand. He's a small man, with a hard, foxy face and a high go-to-hell arch in his eyebrows. His hair hangs in a ragged shock over his forehead, but he keeps his beard trimmed in a neat little patch just around his mouth. He's wearing no coat at all.
The other visitor has followed Coral and is standing back by the refrigerator with his hands in his pockets and his shoulders slumped. It doesn't really work. He still looks very big.
"Well," I say, looking around at all of them. "It seems to be a bad night for passing through. I'm sorry, you two haven't met."
Our first visitor steps away from the wall, moving with the slow, weighty grace of an animal. "Jim Maxwell," he says, offering his hand. Their eyes meet in a fast, furtive glance, highly charged and gone again.
"Carter Boyd," says the other and then they both drop their hands and look away.
On the stove, the milk has begun to hiss and foam in the pan and I go to pour it while Coral covers the broken window with a piece of cardboard and the men sit across from each other at the table with the lantern plunked down in the middle.
"Do you two ever think about moving closer to town?" says Jim Maxwell in low, conversational way. "It's pretty lonely out here."
"We don't mind it," Coral tells him. "I'm good around the house and Bianca keeps a nice garden in the summer. We manage."
"Your name isn't Jim," I tell him softly, handing him his cup. "Or else you're wearing someone else's shirt. Maybe both."
He doesn't answer. For the next few minutes, both men hunch over the table, drinking their hot chocolate, avoiding each other's eyes.
Coral is sitting at the head of the table, looking tired and annoyed at having company in the middle of the night. "Bianca," she says, getting to her feet. "Do you want to go ahead and bring some blankets down from the attic while I get a fire started?"
"I'll give you a hand with that fire if you like," says Jim Maxwell, whose name is not that and whose shirt belongs to someone else.
Out in the front hall, I start up the stairs, then hear the floorboards creak when Carter moves behind me. He catches me by the elbow and pulls me into the alcove under the staircase, pressing his hand against my mouth.
"You have to get him out of here," he whispers, and I can smell the chocolate on him, and something else too, all fear and sweat, and over that, the light, clean smell of snow. "It's not safe having him in this house."
I take his hand away from my face. "What are you talking about?"
"Look, I don't want to scare you, but right now, you got to listen to me. I guess you know that he's not Jim Maxwell and I might as well tell you that my name's not Carter. Me and him, we're both off the same transport truck. They were moving us out to Willby, but then the roads got bad and we went off the highway."
"Weren't there any guards with you?"
"There were," he says. "But you don't need to know the details. And now there's twelve real bad guys wandering around this godforsaken stretch of country in the snow. They're all hard customers, but he's the worst. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed some poor sucker to get that fancy coat he came here with. Man's vicious as a dog and he'll kill you too without a second thought."
The way he says it is supposed to make me shrink in terror. Remind me that the other visitor is big, eminently powerful. That he's alone with Coral, who is stoking the fire and doesn't know the man beside her is a criminal.
It would be reasonable to think all that if both of them didn't look so thoroughly disreputable. If Coral were a fool.
I look up at the man who isn't Carter. The maddening thing is how I can't see his face. If I could, I'd be able to read the truth in the shape of his mouth, see his secrets in the lines around his eyes. "How did you know that he came here with a coat?"
He doesn't answer, just draws in his breath as I step past him and out of the alcove.
"Come back here," he says.
But I don't, just start for the sitting room, and he follows me. He's not panicked, not hurrying, but I can hear the soft fall of his footsteps. I can feel his hand when it reaches to catch hold of me, inches from the back of my robe.
"I was kind to you," I say. "So was my sister."
We're standing on the hall runner, with the wild rose pattern damp under my feet and the cleaver in my pocket bumping gently against my thigh. He moves behind me, sly and cautious, edging closer.
I touch the cleaver handle, the worn-smooth wood. "How long have you been escaped, really?"
"Two weeks." The voice is lower, the soft, apologetic pitch of the man in the monogrammed shirt. He's standing ahead of me, filling up the sitting room doorway. "The part about the transport truck is true. There was a break on one of the state pen trucks two weeks ago and a whole bunch of us just ran. I'm real sorry. You have to know that no one meant to bring this to your door."
But I'm not so sure he's right about that. The foxy one is so close I can feel his breath stir my hair. The air coming off him smells like rage, and there may have been a man on that transport truck who seizes opportunities and kills indiscriminately, but he isn't the man with the stolen shirt and the apologetic eyes. No, if he's anywhere, it's standing right behind me.
Soon, he'll reach for my throat, but just now, we stay still, deep in the thrall of the silence and the snow. With our arms limp and our eyes open against the dark, we might as well be sleepwalking.
When Coral appears, it's like a whisper. A slender shadow behind the man in the doorway, bat in one hand, the fireplace poker in the other. The end of the poker glows red-hot, and I know the strange electric calm can't last.
She swings the bat in a short arc, more precision than force, and the man in front of her hits the floor with a soft gasp and doesn't get up. Behind me, the foxy one grabs my collar. His hand is rough, but uncertain in the dark and I turn out of his grasp.
"Ungrateful," I say as I sidestep him, swinging the cleaver so that it slashes across his outstretched hand. "I let you in after you broke my window!"
He hisses and yanks his hand back. I hack again and this time connect with his shoulder, but it's only a shallow cut. I'm not strong enough to sink the blade anyplace bony. I need to find his soft spots, but the hall is dim except for the fading glow of the poker and the lantern light shining weakly from the other room. And then he's right in front of me, beating at my face and my neck, trying to hold me.
Coral is dancing around us. I can hear her there, see the dark frantic shape of her, but the hall is dark and narrow and she won't swing the bat. I could actually die in my own front hall because my sister is too scared to hit me.
Then the man in the monogrammed shirt is between us, fighting his way in front of me and ripping the cleaver from my hand. Behind him, Coral is screaming, screeching, beating at him with her baseball bat and then her hands. But the big man doesn't even glance at her, just stands over the smaller one and buries the cleaver in his chest.
For a long, painful, moment, there is only the irregular pattering sound of blood falling in a sloppy cascade, and then the foxy one slips heavily to the floor and the other man falls with him, kneeling over the body, breathing in huge, whining gasps. Blood is running down the back of his neck from the place where Coral hit him, soaking into his shirt. I sink beside him, feeling weightless and numb. Time passes.
Then Coral is standing over us, lantern in hand. The light shows a festival of blood, spreading on the carpet in huge, ragged-edged splotches. They look like roses.
"Who are you," I say to the man beside me. "And what do you want?"
"I'm the hard case from the transport truck," he says, sounding tired and drowsy. The cut on the back of his head isn't slowing. "I'm the hard customer that our friend here told you about. But I ain't the only bad man in the world."
"What do you want?" I say again, and my voice sounds very small.
He shakes his head, eyes slipping closed. "I just didn't want to freeze to death."
Our common prompt for March is the fairy tale Snow-White and Rose-Red.

Khalil Gibran Quotes About AwakeningQuotes about: Awakening
Each thing that exists remains forever, and that very existence of existence is proof of its eternity. But without that realization, which is the knowledge of perfect being, man would never know whether there was existence or non-existence. If eternal existence is altered, then it must become more beautiful; and if it disappears, it must return with more sublime image; and if it sleeps, it must dream of a better awakening, for it is ever greater upon its rebirth.
Like the ocean is your god-self; It remains for ever undefiled. And like the ether it lifts but the winged. Even like the sun is your god-self; It knows not the ways of the mole nor seeks it the holes of the serpent. But your god-self does not dwell alone in your being. Much in you is still man, and much in you is not yet man, But a shapeless pigmy that walks asleep in the mist searching for its own awakening.

Movavi Mac Cleaner vs. MacPaw CleanMyMac Review
CleanMyMac by MacPaw is Mac cleaning software that's popular for its functionality and stylish interface; however, the settings are complicated and some useful features are missing. There's a good alternative to CleanMyMac: Movavi Mac Cleaner. It has a simple, intuitive interface and several important options not included in CleanMyMac. In this Mac Cleaner 2 vs. CleanMyMac 3 review, we've undertaken a detailed comparison between the latest versions of these two programs based on the following parameters:
1.User Interface
Mac Cleaner is a good CleanMyMac alternative: easier to use, clear settings, stylish design
The interface of CleanMyMac is functional and well-designed. However, it's not very intuitive for inexperienced users. Mac Cleaner is much easier to use if you just need to clean out your Mac as quickly as possible without diving into complicated settings. Plus, the text on the buttons and menu items is larger in Mac Cleaner, so working with its interface is more comfortable for all ages.
2.Cleaning, protection and optimization tools
Mac Cleaner excels at finding and deleting duplicates;
CleanMyMac includes a few extra handy features
Both programs are equipped with a number of helpful features, though their practical value to the user is different. Below, you'll see a comparison table covering the main features.
|Comparison parameters
|MacPaw CleanMyMac 3
|Movavi Mac Cleaner 2.2
|Cleaning log files and cache
|Removing large and old files
|Deleting unused languages
|Deleting duplicates
|only iPhoto duplicates*
|Trash cleanup
|Removing user apps
|Removing system apps
|Shredding files
|Startup optimization
|Mail optimization
|Virus protection
CleanMyMac offers a few extra small but useful features: for example, you can clean mail downloads and attachments or delete iTunes junk. Mac Cleaner is the better choice if you need to quickly and safely free up as much disk space as possible; the classic ways of deleting programs take too much time, but Mac Cleaner will find and remove all duplicate files without your having to look through dozens of folders. Mac Cleaner also now includes a built-in firewall control panel and virus protection.
*MacPaw offers a separate product – Gemini the Duplicate Finder – which costs $14.99. Mac Cleaner, on the other hand, includes all the core functionality in one package, so you're not paying extra for those features.
3.Support and help
Both programs offer professional support for their users;
Mac Cleaner's support is a little more comprehensive
It's very important to have access to professional technical support at all times. Movavi and MacPaw both provide email support to help you solve problems, as well as illustrated guides showing you how to use the different capabilities. Mac Cleaner also offers a convenient live chat channel.
|Comparison parameters
|MacPaw CleanMyMac 3
|Movavi Mac Cleaner 2.2
|Live chat
|all-in-one manual
|detailed how-to's
|Community (Facebook and others)
4.Price and trial limitations
Both programs are affordable and offer a free trial
The price for the full version is comparable for both products: you can buy each for $39.95 for one license. With such a reasonable price, you don't need to spend time looking for keygens and license code generators to try and bypass the system. Both programs let you clean up to 500 MB without license activation, so you can try them out before making a purchase decision.
It's up to you which program to choose, as they're both affordable, safe and functional. Why Mac Cleaner is a great CleanMyMac alternative? It's worth it to opt for the Movavi software if you're looking for:
- Simple and user-friendly interface
- A full range of cleaning options
- Integral virus protection and firewall
- Email and live chat day-and-night support
- An affordable price

And the worst of it is, they probably don't care or even realise the damage they've done. It's not just the being unfaithful; it's the loss of our being able to be parents any time soon."

He's more than another guy who misses the potty when he goes.
This drunken hipster used the wrong receptacle in the wrong bathroom in the wrong apartment.
The man, whom police didn't identify, was found in the home of an East Village couple around 7 a.m. Saturday urinating in their bathroom sink.
It turned out the man was staying in another apartment in the building at First Avenue and East 13th Street. He was too inebriated to find the right apartment when he got home.
The couple whose apartment the man invaded called 911. But after cops showed up, they thought better of pressing charges.

Sub Vokes spares Koumas' blushes with late winner against 10-man Azerbaijan
Wales 1 Azerbaijan 0
Teenage substitute Sam Vokes scored his first international goal to give Wales
victory over Azerbaijan and allow manager John Toshack to breathe a huge sigh of
Vokes, signed in the summer by Wolves from Bournemouth, came off the bench to
give a youthful Wales side a deserved victory in their opening World Cup qualifier.
Before the 18-year-old's close-range winner, Wales had toiled to break down an
ultra-defensive Azerbaijan side who had Brazilian-born forward Fabio Luis Ramim
sent off.

Sam Vokes (L) of Wales celebrates with Ashley Williams after scoring for Wales
The one thing Wales could not have afforded was to lose this match ahead of
Wednesday's much tougher trip to Russia.
But when Jason Koumas saw a penalty, and his follow-up volley, saved in the
second half, it looked like Wales were going to be denied a victory their industry and confidence merited.
Wales opened their bid to qualify for South Africa 2010 fielding a side which
included five players still eligible for the under-21s, with Wolves youngster
David Edwards given the chance to stake a claim for a central midfield role.
The five players in question now have over 50 senior caps between them, and
this was the acid test of Toshack's largely enforced youth revolution.
Jason Koumas of Wales shows his frustration after missing a penalty
Toshack's reign has been one of constant change, and Edwards' inclusion in an attacking midfield role for his sixth cap was at the expense of veteran Carl Robinson, a fixture in the team for four years.
Azerbaijan's new boss, the German legend and former Scotland manager Berti Vogts, was in charge for his first competitive match.
Wales started with pace, enthusiasm and plenty of neat passing.
A cross delivered by Koumas from the right was plucked from the head of Edwards
by goalkeeper Kamran Agayev, then Joe Ledley drove wide from 18 yards.
Tottenham's Gareth Bale surged past three men on a fine run into the box before
being blocked, he felt, unfairly.
Azerbaijan replied with a 25-yard effort from Branimir Subasic, saved well by
Wayne Hennessey before another effort from the same player flew over the bar.
Sasha Yunisoglu was booked for pulling back Earnshaw, with Wales continuing to
move forward as teenage Spurs full-backs Bale and Chris Gunter surged down the
flanks at every opportunity.
But the visitors to Cardiff were a much better side than Wales had encountered
in their four previous meetings with Azerbaijan, who managed only one draw and
three defeats in those games.
Ramim was a constant threat but Wales went close after 28 minutes when Bale's
free-kick deceived Agayev with Earnshaw almost reaching the loose ball. Gunter
then had the rebound scooped from his toes a yard out.
Sam Vokes scores the winner forWales against Azerbaijan
Two minutes later Agayev made a stunning flying save to touch away a 30-yard
strike from Koumas. Edwards then eased himself into a shooting position on the
edge of the box and saw his left-footed effort curl just off target.
The promise was there from Wales but the cutting edge was missing.
Clearly Craig Bellamy would have been a quality asset, but he will not be
available until the October games with Liechtenstein and Germany.
Azerbaijan sent on Agil Nabiyev for Djavid Huseinov at the break, with Ramim
booked for using his elbow on Bale after 48 minutes, which other referees may
have considered a red-card offence.
The Macedonian official, Aleksandr Stavrev, then seemed to compound the error
by demonstrating exactly what he had punished.
Azerbaijan were increasingly content to sit deep and defend in depth, inviting
Wales to open them up. But this was one of those days when Koumas could not find
the telling passes.
Chris Gunter of Wales is brought down by Rashad Sadikhov of Azerbaijan for a penalty
Bale was booked for taking a free-kick too quickly, a split second before the
referee's whistle.
Frustrating was creeping in, mistakes being made without pressure as Wales
looked for inspiration.
Toshack took off Earnshaw after 61 minutes, sending on the more physical Ched
Then Koumas was booked for stupidly kicking the ball high into the empty
seating after a free-kick was harshly awarded against him.
Worse was to follow after 66 minutes when Gunter was brought down in the box by
Rashad Sadikhov and Koumas stepped up for the penalty.
He saw his first effort blocked by Agayev, who then did well to catch the
Azerbaijan were reduced to 10 men a minute later when Ramim was booked for
pulling back Koumas.
The referee at first looked to not realise it was the forward's second booking,
but eventually the red card was produced.
Next into the book was Huseinov, before Wales sent on Vokes for Edwards,
another forward, as they searched for the breakthrough.
Wales pressed forward with growing desperation, and Vokes saw a fine header
from Bale's cross saved brilliantly by Agayev, who was booked for an obscure
offence only seen by referee Stavrev.
But from the resulting corner Wales finally got their goal.
Bale's corner curled into the box and Vokes and Ashley Williams both went for
The ball broke in the six-yard box for Gunter to lunge in and Vokes to finally
crack the ball home from a couple of yards.
With two minutes to go, Robinson was brought on in place of Koumas.
Wales boss John Toshack revealed he was 'pleased and relieved' by the slender victory.
'I am satisfied with the result and the performance. Azerbaijan
have improved considerably over the past two years and they provided a very
serious test for us.
'We dominated the match and heads could easily have dropped after the penalty
was missed. They were bouncing and our lot were deflated.
'But we kept going, refused to let it bother us for long, and fully deserved
the winner. We were easily the better team."
He added: 'In such games you have to be patient, but after they went down to
10 men I felt we would be able to do it.
'But I was still pretty nervous right to the end because in such situations
you can always see opponents nicking something at the end when you have been on
top for a long time.
'Gareth Bale was outstanding, and made the difference for us at times. But I
was still pleased and relieved at the end."
Azerbaijan boss Berti Vogts said: "This is a big lesson for us. Most of my
players are not used to playing in such a big stadium or on such long grass.
'None of my players perform on anything but very hard pitches with little
grass. Only about four of them even had longer studs to use.
'But we have shown that Azerbaijan football has improved. We defended very
And he praised Wales' teenage full-backs Bale and Chris Gunter. He said: "Both
of them were outstanding, Wales had a lot of very young boys out there who have
big futures ahead of them.
'The result is a bad one for us, but I am not a dreamer. I do not believe that
anyone other than Germany and Russia will qualify from this group.
'But we must believe that when Russia and Germany come to Baku, we will be
able to surprise them.'

RALEIGH, N.C. - The Meredith College Athletic Department hosted the annual awards banquet Wednesday, April 24, to celebrate the 2012-2013 accomplishments of the seven Avenging Angel teams and all student-athlete participants. Athletics Director Jackie Myers recognized the 63 student-athletes who earned at least a 3.0 grade point average during the 2012 calendar year, including eight named to the Vice-President's Club for earning a perfect 4.0.
All seven head coaches present the Dean Burris Coach's Award annually to the individual who best exemplifies the qualities a coach looks for in a student-athlete. An advocate for Meredith athletics during his tenure with the college, Allen Burris joined Meredith in 1969 as the dean of the college and professor of history and retired in 1998 as senior vice-president for academic affairs. Burris and his son joined the event as a special guest for the first time during Myers' leadership, and she presented Burris with a custom Meredith blanket to honor his legacy.
Meredith boasted 27 USA South All-Conference selections, one Player of the Year, one Rookie of the Year and seven All-Sportsmanship recipients this year. Six of seven varsity teams earned an opportunity to compete in the conference championships for their respective sport.
Head Volleyball Coach Fiona Barkley presented senior softball player and two-time President of the Meredith Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Sara Cranford with a gift of appreciation. Cranford and all future SAAC presidents will be recognized with a plaque hanging in the halls of the Weatherspoon athletic and activities building alongside team special award recipients.
The evening concluded with a video highlighting the Avenging Angels' throughout the year.

Katherine Behar, ed. Object-Oriented Feminism. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2016. 296 pp.
Review by Jesse Bordwin
Object-oriented criticism and feminist theory are not obviously compatible—their commitments and assumptions seldom overlap—but that tension is precisely what energizes the new collection Object-Oriented Feminism. Embracing the discomfiting acronym OOF with a wink and a nod, the assembled writers argue for bringing a feminist ethics to the study of objects while raising the possibility of revisiting the political and cultural forces that align women with the material world. This project is in many ways a reproach against object-oriented scholarship that subtly re-enforces antifeminist formations or seems detached from the human, evinced in Katherine Behar's introduction, on the well-intentioned and ontically-destructive erasure of Playboy Bunnies from object-oriented ontology, and Maria Gržinić's critique of "OOO's objectification and commodification of humans" and "humanization of capital itself" (p. 219). A number of essays—those by Elizabeth A. Povinelli and Adam Zaretsky stand out—perform OOF as practice, often reshaping the tools of object analysis by estranging us from them. Timothy Morton ties object-oriented ontology (OOO) to the weird feminist essentialism of Luce Irigaray by way of Plato, Jacques Lacan, and Looney Tunes, confirming his place as one of the most persuasive and inimitable apostles of object-oriented criticism. Behar, who edited the volume, also delivers its most incisive intervention when she proposes a system of affinity through deathliness to counter the material turn's latent vivophilia, which threatens simply to substitute the human subject with the networked individual. "Vivophilia," she writes, "says that most things in the world are, in some significant way, as alive as I am. Necrophilia says that I am, in some significant way, as dead as are most things in the world" (p. 128). Here and in moments throughout the collection are insights that startle and excite and that bring into sharp focus the audacity of claiming an ethics, as Irina Aristarkhova puts it, for "the most inanimate, life-free things out there" (p. 60).
Yet for all its shining parts, the volume never quite coheres. From the title on, Object-Oriented Feminism seems to proffer theoretical comprehensiveness or a manifesto's élan vital, but the essays offer no cohesive picture or vigorous articulation of an emergent practice. The absence of a clear intellectual genealogy and the diffuseness of attention, though likely intentional, pose certain problems for the audience. Most readers will leave Object-Oriented Feminism with an understanding of the movement as an unambivalent feminist critique of object-oriented thought's implicit antifeminism. Yet as many will remember who attended the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts conferences where OOF coalesced—and recordings of those panels are available online, for those who did not—the most vocal challenges to object-oriented feminism have come not from new materialists or speculative realists, but feminist scholars who see OOF as appropriating feminist intellectual history and energy, leaving in its wake an enervated politics. This collection is a much-needed beginning—and object-oriented feminism will continue to incite us to reimagine our current methodologies and theoretical attachments—but one that could benefit from more fully embracing its past.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.– Billy Donovan pushed his career record to 7-1 in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament after his Florida Gators (35-2) defeated the UCLA Bruins (28-9) 79-68.
The game started with a disconnected first few minutes before Florida's outside shooting ignited for a quick stretch.
Guard Michael Frazier was integral in a 16-5 first half run from the 14:43 mark until the 9:18 mark in the first half. During the spurt, Frazier hit three of Florida's four three pointers and the Gators were able to extend their lead to as many as nine points. UCLA would battle back though, getting the deficit to three, but that was close as they would get. Florida guard Scottie Wilbekin's missed three at the buzzer ended the half, unable to replicate his end of first half heroics from the Pittsburgh game.
The second half would begin with the Gators taking control, extending their lead to 11. UCLA, to its credit, would not go quietly into the Memphis night, battling back to — at one point — only a one-point deficit before Florida forward Dorian Finney-Smith sunk a long jumper to extend UF's lead to three.
Scottie Wilbekin would takeover from there, piloting the Gators to the finish with circus layups and the poise that earned him SEC Player of the Year honors.
Florida was led in scoring by guard Michael Frazier who had 19 points. Freshman Kasey Hill led UF with 10 assists and senior Will Yeguete led in rebounds with seven.
For UCLA, the Bruins were led by guard Jordan Adams who had 17 points, guard/forward Kyle Anderson sat atop the box score in rebounds and assists with nine and five respectively.
Florida advances to play the Dayton Flyers in the Elite Eight. This will be the Gators fourth consecutive Elite Eight appearance, a school record.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
Over the years I've run various Linux distributions on my desktop. Each new distribution or update has been a learning experience. During this time, I have also discovered that – unfortunately – many Linux users still choose to support those companies who don't support the Linux platform.
In this article, I'll examine this issue closely, and I'll also offer tangible solutions to these issues as well.
Define a Linux PC
There are few things in this world that frustrate me more than the scenario below:
Did you catch where things went wrong here? Out of ignorance and misunderstanding, some newer Linux users will visit their nearest big box store to pick up a new PC assuming it will work flawlessly with Linux. If their intent was to simply run the operating system that the PC came with, then purchasing a local computer in this manner would be fine.
Sadly though, these newer users have been led to believe that popular Linux distributions will work on every piece of hardware you throw at it.
While it's true that, out of the box, distributions such as Ubuntu have more new and legacy hardware support, PCs from big box stores were custom designed with specs for the latest version of the Windows desktop. In other words, it's like installing OS X on a PC.
Yes, it's possible to do. However, running OS X on a Mac is surely going to offer a smoother user experience since the hardware was setup for that operating system. So when I hear people complain about how a specific desktop Linux distribution didn't install as expected on a PC designed for Windows, I find myself rolling my eyes.
To be ultimately fair to newer Linux users, most of them have no idea that desktop Linux distributions can be pre-installed from select PC vendors. For those Linux users who know better and still choose to purchase from companies that don't support Linux supporters' preferred platform, it should come as no surprise if things go poorly during a Linux installation.
After all, the PC clearly states it was built for Microsoft Windows.
Hardware compatibility hurdles
More than legacy software, it's the ability to install a distribution that will make or break a first time experience for a new Linux user. This has been true for years and even today it remains valid.
Certainly, buying PCs pre-installed with Linux solves this issue. But what about for those people who aren't in the market for a new PC? Surely, we can't expect everyone to rush out and buy a new computer just to run a specific Linux distribution?
The truth is, being able to install Linux on any desktop PC we wish is one of the most attractive advantages to the Linux desktop. And this leads us to depending on good information as to which components should be sought out for our existing PCs.
Hardware compatibility lists, or HCLs, are lists designed to ensure users have a firm grasp of which hardware works with Linux and which doesn't. Unfortunately, they're usually dated, poorly put together and more often than not, plain wrong.
I've seen these HCLs state that PCs specifically designed for Linux had poor compatibility. Not only was this wrong and misleading, it further demonstrates why HCLs don't work. User edited lists are flawed since we can't determine the skill level of the person entering the information.
Issues with HCLs only add to perceived Linux hurdles by pushing FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt) front and center, even when that's not the intent of the list itself. One might even call this an unfortunate event of "happenstance."
Wireless devices and peripherals
One of my favorite things to berate is the current state of Linux wireless devices, as Linux distributions present it. I realize I bring this up far too often, however it's relevant to this article.

One Direction decided the best way to celebrate being in a boy band for 1,000 days (roughly three years) is by releasing the poster for their 3-D summer blockbuster,
The guys released the poster Thursday evening, the same day they took to Twitter to thank their fans for all their support on what is now a 1D holiday of sorts. "Wow! Thank you so much for your support! #1000daysof1d! It's been amazing! Love you," Niall Horan tweeted.
Louis Tomlinson added, "1000 days of being in the band ? Wow that really is incredible :) Amazing that you guys have shaped our career! Thank you so much x."
The poster for the August 30 release not only celebrates the band, but also their stoutly loyal Directioners. It was compiled using fan photos from around the world; fans have been submitting photos to the band's site since February.
A digital version will launch in May, featuring more photos as well as an app for fans to locate their snapshots in the collage.
Director Morgan Spurlock recently held a Twitter Q&A, where he opened up about working with the guys on the concert film/documentary. The flick follows the guys on their Take Me Home tour, which they will bring to the States in June.
"[It] can be a little unnerving with a camera in your face all the time, but you build trust over time, now I'm just like a piece of furniture. The lads have been both in front of & behind the camera. They've been filming each other on the tour bus & on day's off; great footage. We spend a lot of down time with the band, with their families & friends," he teased. "We really wanted you to see what their 'normal' lives are like."
Additionally, on the #1000daysof1d anniversary, the guys officially debuted their Madame Tussauds wax statues in London. The statues, much like the real band, will be on their own world tour, making stops in New York City and Sydney.

Treating herpes can be tough, but with Wartrol treatment, you can do it without experiencing any pain. The use of FDA Approved ingredients makes this product one of the best remedies. Having sores and blisters around your genitals can be embarrassing. So, you need to buy Wartrol to eliminate this painful and embarrassing infection. Let's look at how the remedy works;
The success of Wartrol revolves around its active ingredients. The primary component is the Salicylic Acid.Studies have revealed that this acid promises the fastest results in treating herpes. The salicylic acid forces warts to peel off gradually. It also removes calluses and corns. It can take between two weeks to four weeks to start showing results. Just like other keratolytic drugs, salicylic acid aims at increasing the level of moisture in your skin and dissolves those substances that make our skin cells to cramp together. Consequently, those skin cells shade off quickly.
Additionally, Wartrol contains other active ingredients that facilitate quick recovery. The Ethyl Alcohol is an antibacterial component that works to fight the warts virus. It also helps other active ingredients of Wartrol to penetrate the surface of the skin quickly.
Another active ingredient is the Polysorbate-80 that facilitates the dissolving process. It makes other elements of the product efficient. Finally, Wartrol contains Flexible Collodion, which gets rid of the itching caused by herpes. It works to eliminate the sores or wounds found on the surface of your skin. As a result, the healing process speeds up.
Why use Wartrol?
The ingredients in this treatment are FDA approved. As such, there are side effects because this remedy is safe; it does not cause any harmful side effects. You can watch how Wartrol works from honest user reviews. It is a DIY type of treatment. It does not call for hospital care. You can apply it from the comfort of your home. Moreover, it is easy to use.
Works for both men and women.
The treatment guarantees super-fast results. Typically, it takes three weeks to have the desired results. Herpes can cause stigma in society, and most people want to get rid of this infection as soon as possible. Some people think that seeing the doctor is the only sure way to treat them, but honestly, this is a misconception. Wartrol treats herpes painlessly and more efficiently. So, what are you waiting for? Buy today and reap the benefits.

This Is Bull City
Golden Belt Arts—Durham may not have the historical status of the famed Greek city-state, but it does have a colorful past of its own. In This Is Bull City, artist Casey Robertson has reimagined Durham's history through the lens of his own travels across the U.S. Robertson's intent is for his viewers to delve into Durham's past and come away with a renewed appreciation for the city and its storied history. Robertson's irreverent narratives take on such Durham stalwarts as tobacco, athletics and music in a way that both playfully tweaks and celebrates the subject matter.

Welcome to the official website of the Center for International Human Rights!
Human Rights Seminar Series 2017-2018
Forgotten Crises: Issues and Responses
During the academic year 2017-2018, the Center for International Human Rights (CIHR) will focus on human rights crises that are commonly overlooked. In an effort to raise public awareness to protracted crises that have not received enough attention and a proper response, CIHR will shed light on situations both here and abroad. We will critically examine the role of state actors and of intergovernmental, as well as non-governmental, organizations in these crises and the way in which they have attempted to address the challenges posed by them. Particular attention will be given to (1) governance deficits and non-traditional security threats and challenges as contributing factors to these crises and (2) an understanding of the reasons for their relegation to the periphery of responsive action.
For any questions, please contact:
George J. Andreopoulos, Professor of Political Science, John Jay College and the Graduate Center
Assistant to the Director
Aline Shaban, Undergraduate Student, John Jay College
