Catholic University law school Professor Mary Leary was among the expert panelists invited to present at a Sept. 9 panel sponsored by Microsoft to gather data and insights about the role of technology in child sex trafficking.
Six academic researchers, all funded by grants from the software giant, spent the day at the Microsoft Silicon Valley Campus in Mountain View, Calif., discussing a significant problem that remains largely off the radar of the American public.
According to the U.S. National Human Trafficking Resource Center, the internet has been identified as a primary platform that pimps, traffickers, and johns use to buy and sell children for sex in the United States. But what isn't well known is exactly how technology facilitates child sex trafficking or how technology can be used to fight it.
Leary contributed an assessment of judicial opinions and the role of technology in child sex trafficking cases at the conference. Fellow panelists discussed some of the insights gained as their research projects progress.
According a statement from Microsoft:
"We are energized by the insights we anticipate will emerge from these researchers' efforts and look forward to applying the knowledge gained to continue our collaboration with public and private sector leaders to make a substantial difference in the fight against trafficking and child sexual exploitation."
Leary was awarded a grant from Microsoft in 2012 to examine the use of technology in child sex trafficking cases as demonstrated in published judicial opinions. Her work also explores the acceptance of this digital evidence in courts and whether it differs between state and federal level cases.
Leary is among the nation's foremost experts on child sex trafficking and related crimes. She recently accepted an invitation from the International Association of Chiefs of Police to serve as an advisory member for its Child Sex Trafficking Toolkit for Law Enforcement Initiative.

Nearly a decade ago, Pixar brought us a story about an anxious clownfish who embarks on a life-altering adventure through the ocean, desperate to find his son, who was snatched up by a fish-collecting dentist. Last month, I had the opportunity to visit Pixar Studios to screen the film ahead of this week's 3D release. Not only was it a dream come true to get to visit Pixar Studios, but going there to see one of my favorite Pixar movies was a treat, to say the least. And Finding Nemo 3D did not disappoint. It helped that I hadn't seen the movie in a while, but seeing it again on the big screen, added to the 3D upgrade made the movie feel almost new again. From the sound of it, Pixar put a lot of work into the movie's 3D upgrade, and it shows in the finished product.
As I mentioned when discussing the Partysaurus Rex screening, the Pixar Studios lobby is decorated with various statues and artwork, paying tribute to Pixar films. This includes a really cool Brave tapestry, and a 3D display featuring Dory and Marlin swimming face-to-face with Bruce the shark. Just outside of the building are statues of well known Pixar icons Luxo Jr. and his ball. It also looks like they set up a big stone arrangement, similar to the one featured in Brave in the grassy area. You can check out some photos in the gallery below.
The trip to Pixar Studios included a screening of Partysaurus Rex, an interesting lesson on how 3D technology is being used to upgrade older Pixar movies, some dinner (a tasty buffet and cupcakes for dessert!), and finally, the screening of Finding Nemo in 3D. The in-house theater is pretty roomy, with red chairs and a dark ceiling that lights up with twinkling (and shooting) stars when the rest of the lights go out. Once I was able to get over my excitement at getting to see Finding Nemo on the big screen at Pixar Studios, I focused on the movie itself. With its vibrant colors and beautiful ocean setting, Finding Nemo is a film that benefits well from a 3D conversion. The colors and textures seemed especially enhanced, offering a really great visual experience in addition to a fantastic story. As an adventure story and a tale of friendship, family and bravery, Nemo holds up really well. It's still as funny and heartfelt as it ever was. I'd definitely recommend fans of the film (especially those who haven't had the opportunity to see it on the big screen) check it out.
The next day, we visited the Aquarium Wing of the Academy of Sciences to speak with co-director Lee Unkrich, Stereoscopic Supervisor Bob Whitehill and Director of 3D Production Josh Hollander to talk about revisiting the movie and its 3D makeover.
Unkrich sounded very pleased with what Bob Whitehill and his team did with Finding Nemo, in 3D.
They're really good at creating these really visually dynamic, immersive 3D experiences, but without distracting from the story-telling at all. For these - we don't really call them conversions - these 3D versions of the film, as well as the new films that we make, that we put out in 3D - we love 3D but we never want the 3D to distract in any way from people's experience. We don't want to have a bunch of gimmickry and stuff flying out of the screen. It's just not our core philosophy about how to us 3D.
From what Unkrich says, it sounds like CG animated movies have an advantage over live action films when it comes to 3D conversion. He compares the process to having a time machine, in a way...
The whole process of converting 2D to 3D is getting better - getting more sophisticated, but at the end of the day, it can't be replaced by actually shooting in 3D in the first place. And that's where we're lucky in our world - in this world of CG animation - that it's like we're able to get into a time machine and go back and reshoot the movie. It's the same movie. The movie hasn't changed in any way, but it's like we're able to go back in time on the set and shoot the movie with a 3D camera instead of a 2D camera. So everything that you see, every bit of dimensionality is all true 3D. When we make our movies, we construct virtual sets. Everything is virtual, it's in a computer but it's a set. And there are objects and characters in space, and if you're now filming it with a 3D camera, you're getting a true dimensional experience. And it's just never the same with the conversions, I think.

This is a tremendously broad topic, but perhaps with the linguistic liberty of this forum - in terms of its ability to branch out using translations - it would be rather interesting to discuss a little certain works from differing genres. I'm always on the look-out for various translations on different writers, but it's been some time since I've had the time to sit down with the classics (ordinarily, I spend my time with much later historical and modern texts, both fiction and non-fiction).
I've read a few of Martial's epigrams as well as Juvenal's 10th Satire (and a little of his 7th) in the Latin, of which the latter satirist was especially difficult, given the vocabulary, references, etc. It was a bit disheartening, but with those sorts of crude and snarky comments of his, I think it's worth it; translations can often too easily either under- or over-exaggerate his vulgarity, or else be unable to transfer some of the nuances over to the English. It'd be fascinating to hear some of everyone's views: any particular preferred satirist?

Fire fighters appreciated
Written by Larry Rice, Ainsworth Thursday, 16 August 2012 13:31
On behalf of all of us in north central Nebraska and the Niobrara River valley ... thank you firemen from Gothenburg and many other communities miles away from the scene of the recent fires that burned thousands of acres and destroyed over a dozen homes.
I couldn't believe the number of fire departments, equipment, men and women fire fighters who responded to assist our local firemen and I could hardly believe the stories of fast moving flames and extreme heat coming from these rough canyons. We are thankful no one lost their life especially when the wind changed and pushed the flames in various directions.
In the Ainsworth Fire Hall, I heard numerous stories about close calls and incidents related to the fight to stop the fires. One said "You know Gothenburg sent some guys up and they've got a guy with a plane flying guys up and back in shifts."
So, thank you fire fighters in small communities all over our state. I guess it's just something they do. They hear about someone in need and they load up and go help.
I'm sure I can speak for many in our area. Thanks again.

Can We Make it to the Bottom?
Welcome to the third day of first grade.
We are building a chest, ha ha. It's a big chest, hee hee. And after we slam our chest together we make our bottoms real smooth (snort!), and make small holes in our bottoms (gak!).
And I won't make a joke about bottoms getting nailed. Nope. I have too much dignity about using a joke about a bum.
Day three of every woodworking class is when people loosen up, drop their polite facades and start to let their real personalities emerge. Bad jokes ensue. Teasing begins. And that is usually the day when someone – not me – begins to smell a bit funky.
OK, this time it is me. What is that smell?
— Christopher Schwarz
P.S. These chests are the full-size, real-deal examples of "The Anarchist's Tool Chest," from the book of the same name. The form is based on research I did on about 50 or so chests. The book has both delighted and enraged readers. You can read more about the book at ShopWoodworking.com.

Starting in March of 2010, in addition to great sound and reliable performance of AKG's wireless systems, users will have a new tool to browse, monitor, and control their wireless microphone and IEM systems: their iPhone®. With the introduction of their new iPhone application - which will be available for free in Apple's iTunes® store – AKG has effectively streamlined the workflow for wireless microphone monitoring and configuration by linking Harman's HiQnet® protocol to the iPhone and iPod® Touch app via Wi-Fi® network.
The new application can be used to monitor wireless system parameters and radio frequency connections on stage for some of AKG's most popular wireless microphone systems, including the DMS 700, the WMS 4000/4500, and the IVM 4 in ear monitoring system. The user can easily browse through the entire wireless system within the device list, monitor each device and it's parameters separately within the stripe view, or use the RF monitor for checking the radio frequency connection of each wireless device.
"With the introduction of our new iPhone application, AKG has continued to build on the industry-leading versatility offered with our wireless microphone and IEM systems," said Philipp Sonnleitner, product manager for HiQnet and system integration. "AKG users now have the ability to control and monitor every aspect of their wireless systems from the palm of their hands anywhere on the venue."
The iPhone application is connected via Wi-Fi to a wireless router, which is connected to the AKG HUB 4000 Q. The application can be used side by side with Harman Pro System Architect® because the entire system is based on Harman's advanced HiQnet® protocol.

DON'T FORGET TO READ THE SEQUEL TO THIS POST...10 More Ridiculous Rapper Chains
Rappers love their jewelry. Some rappers don't even have their own homes but as long as the ice is right, it's all gravy like Fat Joe's dinner table. I've seen some cool rapper chains...but I've also seen a lot of terrible ones. More often than not rappers seem to buy chains for reaction rather than thinking "is this something I'll actually wear a week from now?" Here are the 10 most ridiculous rapper chains.
Berg's chain wasn't the worst looking one around, but I just don't understand why this guy has (or should I say had) a Transformers symbol around his neck? Was he in the movie? I used to like to watch The Flintstones but I also have a grip on reality and don't need an iced out Barney. If you love a certain cartoon tell people on Facebook...not your neck.
Yung Joc's chain says "Hustlenomics." It could also seriously injure a baby. The worst thing about this chain is just how big and terrible it looks...kinda just like a hunk of metal hanging off his neck. The person wearing it doesn't help the situation either. The "H" is for horrible.
Cowabullshit. Why would a grown ass man want this chain? Isn't your chain supposed to impress women? Imagine screwin' a chick with Bart Simpson hangin' on her titties? Yeah sure Bart's happy but you look like a tool.
Yes Ghostface used to wear a dinner plate around his neck...he also used to wear a gigantic eagle on his arm. And while the plate does look ridiculous, it also opened the door for everyone to rock chains. Hit your mom's china cabinet, get some rope and your in business. Even little Ghostface rocked it:
"Ya colors too bright." Not too sure what to say about this one. It looks like someone shitted out coloured diamonds and this is what happened. It's not that surprising since the guy is wearing 3-D glasses. I'd need to be in a drug induced coma to wear this.
Unless you ARE Jesus Christ, don't do this. The worst part is that some people probably mistake it for Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince wearing sunglasses. The question remains: Are those sunglasses iced out Ricky is rockin' real or fake?
If you are gonna drop serious dollars on a chain, make sure it doesn't look like it was a 2 for 1 special at the flea market. This shit is just ugly. The "Map Of New York City" portion on top looks like it would break off mad easy and the colours give New York City a sort of Fruity Pebbles vibe. I hope Busta kept the receipt.
* NOTE - T-Pain started off as a rapper and still raps. He counts.
According to T-Pain on Twitter, this chain cost him $410,000. I'm pretty sure there are kids in Ethiopia right now playing darts with a picture of Teddy P. I get the joke. It's a big ass chain and it says "Big Ass Chain." Hilarious. You know what else is funny? How dumb it looks.
There are so many things to dislike about Sean Kingston that it makes it challenging to just focus on the chain. That being said, I'm gonna do my best. First of all why? Does anyone look at this and go "yo Sean that is dope man." He's lucky those crayons don't come out the box 'cause if he wore this around me I'd go straight colouring book status on his eyes.
I don't know who Skool Boy is but I do know he has the most ridiculous chain I've ever seen. Look, I love chicken wings but you don't see me with an iced out 10 piece around my neck do you? I'd imagine even the person he bought this from looked at him like "n*gga is you crazy?" It has gotta be rough when your chain has more buzz than you.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Georgia's defense minister visited his troops in Afghanistan on Friday, a day after seven Georgian soldiers were killed in a huge truck bomb blast at their base in the deadliest single attack on international forces this year.
The bombing was the latest strike in an intense insurgent campaign to hit both international and Afghan forces as foreign troops prepare to end their mission next year after 12 years of war. Foreign forces are increasingly turning over most security responsibility to the national police and army after training them.
Defense Minister Irakli Alasania cut short an official visit to Brussels on Thursday to travel to Afghanistan. A statement from the former Soviet republic's defense ministry said Alasania met with his Afghan counterpart, Bismillah Khan Mohammadi and visited troops wounded in the bombing.
Afghan official Mohammad Omar Zwark said a suicide attacker drove the truck into the entrance of the camp in Helmand province Thursday in Now-e-Zad district and detonated it.
"It was a huge truck full of explosives," Zwark said. "The blast was very strong."
The explosion at the outer wall caused a building inside to collapse, killing the Georgians, NATO spokesman Col. Thomas Collins said.
All seven killed were members of the same Georgian unit, which had been deployed in Afghanistan only since April, the country's defense ministry said.
Last month, three Georgian soldiers were killed in an attack at another Helmand base in Musa Qala district.
Known as a Taliban stronghold, Helmand has been the scene of some of this year's fiercest fighting, with local police frequently coming under attack by insurgents trying to grab back territory.
Thursday's bombing brought to 12 the number of international military personnel killed in Afghanistan this month, and the attack was the single deadliest incident this year for the coalition. On May 5, seven Americans and one German soldier were killed in a single day in three separate attacks.
Georgia, which has aspirations of joining NATO, has 1,545 troops serving in Afghanistan.
This week, countries in the NATO alliance met to lay out a new plan for ending their combat mission in about 18 months and shifting into a training and assistance role for the Afghan forces more than a decade after the U.S.-led invasion to oust the Taliban regime for sheltering al-Qaida's leadership after the Islamic extremist group launched the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attacks in the U.S.
NATO did not agree, however, how many noncombat troops it will maintain in Afghanistan after that — a key unresolved question about how to help stabilize the impoverished, insurgency-wracked nation in the years to come.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said this week only that the total size of the noncombat mission force will be "significantly smaller" than the tens of thousands of U.S.-led troops in Afghanistan now, and that decisions about force numbers after 2014 will come later.
There are about 100,000 international troops in Afghanistan, including 66,000 from the United States. The U.S. troop total is scheduled to drop to about 32,000 by early next year. Most of the pullout is set for the winter.

Many, many business owners I know have had at least one failed partnership in the past. Relationships are messy. That's just how the world works.
You've probably heard the saying "you don't know what you don't know". That's true when founders and partners are starting a business and thinking about what their relationship will be. Of course, no one thinks that their relationship will sour. I suspect few people get married thinking 'we're going to divorce'. Personally, I'm not a big fan of marital prenup agreements for many reasons; but it's incredibly important to have a prenup when you're starting a business. Generally speaking the rules are codified in a shareholder agreement if you're a corporation or an operating agreement if you're an LLC. Everyone has these agreements. But few 'first time' business owners know the important questions you need to work out with your co-founders and for some strange reason most attorneys don't bother to make any attempt to guide or coach people through thinking about the issues. I don't mean to be cynical but perhaps it's because attorneys make a heck of a lot more money dealing with the breakup of a partnership once it's gone bad rather than writing an agreement in the first place.
Either way, most people building their first company don't know what they don't know. I can testify from personal experience that not asking the right questions upfront can lead to pain.
I recently ran across this article from On Startup titled "Important Questions Startup Co-Founders Should Ask Each Other" (http://onstartups.com/tabid/3339/bid/99/Important-Questions-Startup-Co-Founders-Should-Ask-Each-Other.aspx). It's a great article and I encourage you to read it.
Breaking up is always hard to do; but most entrepreneurs will struggle through at least one bad business marriage in their life and it's always best to work out the hard questions when everyone still loves or at least likes each other.

My nephew is 4.5 years old and he was terrified of the 2nd trailer shown in front of Robots. He buried his head in grandma's lap and had to be told a few times "it will be over soon". The PG-13 rating out to clue in the parents. As far as Hasbro goes well supposedly the collectors "never" see a child wanting Star Wars toys. LOL! There are probably more than we think there are. There were several children present on 4/2 getting a few ROTS figures. Mainly Vader though. Some were pretty young.

The price of oil hovered below $88 a barrel on Thursday as mounting evidence of ample seasonal U.S. crude stocks was partly offset by ongoing worries over the Middle East.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for January delivery was down 27 cents to $87.61 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 62 cents to finish at $87.88 per barrel on the Nymex on Wednesday.
Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, was down 46 cents to $108.35 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
Oil prices have struggled for direction after figures Wednesday from the Energy Information Agency showed U.S. oil inventories well above average for this time of year, suggesting that demand from the world's largest economy may be a little less than anticipated over the winter months.
However, offsetting that impact on prices is a growing concern that Syria might be readying chemical weapons to use against rebels trying to overthrow the regime of President Bashar Assad. Worries over an escalation in the conflict have ratcheted up fears of a supply disruption of crude from the Middle East.
On Thursday, Germany's Cabinet also approved the dispatch of German Patriot air defense missiles to protect Turkey against possible attacks from Syria, a sign that tensions in the region were far from easing. It was also a major step toward a potential Western military role in the Syrian conflict.
Syria isn't the only Middle East concern. In Egypt, five people died and over 600 were injured in clashes between supporters and opponents of President Mohammed Morsi, the democratically-elected leader who has assumed near-absolute powers.
"The oil price should not fall any further, as this is precluded above all by the ongoing risks to supply due to the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East," said a report from Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "Alongside Egypt, Syria, Gaza and Iran all remain latent trouble spots, thus justifying a risk premium on the oil price."
In a commodities report, Goldman Sachs forecast the average price for benchmark crude in 2013 at $105.50 per barrel and at $99 per barrel in 2014.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
— Heating oil rose 0.22 cent to $2.9929 a gallon.
— Natural gas added 1.8 cents to $3.718 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Wholesale gasoline was up 0.74 cent to $2.6452 a gallon.

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: Red Sox could still get better
May 04. 2013 10:07PM
AS THE Red Sox have steamrolled their way to the top of the American League at the start of a season most expected would at best be spent in sports purgatory, among the mediocre, a question has emerged: Will it last?
Things have gone so historically well to this point - the 2013 edition was by the calendar the earliest Sox team ever to record 20 wins, and the first AL club in a decade to reach that mark by May 3 - it's a question built around wondering what could go wrong, really. Wondering when reality will set in. Wondering how the team could yet wind up precisely where they were predicted to be.
It's a question with a negative connotation, for sure - but not necessarily one that can't be met with a positive answer.
Because there are actually reasons to think these Sox could still get even better.
Of course, it'd be silly to expect that record-wise they'll be better than they'd been through Friday, considering they were winning 69 percent of their games and on pace for 112 wins. Reasonably thinking, that's not a sustainable pace for any team, let alone one still in the process of proving itself after a last-place finish led into an offseason makeover.
However, there are a variety of indicators to suggest there is sustainability in the ways the Sox have been winning, and when those factors are considered along with some of the obstacles the team has already been forced to overcome, and the general landscape of their league and their division, it's hardly a reach to foresee this club strengthening its claim as legitimate contenders moving forward.
Here's are five reasons why:
.?Injuries. Their record has been mighty enough to hide the ailments, but through Friday the Sox had their everyday shortstop, right fielder and designated hitter for a combined 49 of a possible 87 games. In addition, their original closer has already been to the disabled list, then basically as soon as he came back they had to shut down his replacement due to arm soreness, and they were forced to endure three Alfredo Aceves starts when they lost a member of their rotation for a few weeks. Just imagine what Boston's record might be (or could be) if it had been (or becomes) fully healthy.
.The nature of their victories. It's not as though the Sox are pulling rabbits out of hats to earn an addition to the win column. Sure there's been some drama - thanks largely to Daniel Nava - but for the most part Boston's wins have been by the book that posits solid starting pitching, good bullpen work and timely hitting as an effective prescription.
There's been no gimmick to it, really, and it's not as though they're relying on a single recipe or circumstance, considering that entering Saturday it hardly mattered if they were at home (11-5) or on the road (9-4), facing a righty (13-6) or a lefty (7-3), if they homer (11 wins) or if they don't (nine wins). They're not reliant on a single strength, and that's a good thing.
.Underperformance. The Sox offense was supposed to be a question this season, but even after being shut out on Friday their 148 runs were third-most in the majors. They're 15-2 when scoring at least five times. Yet look at the batting average of Stephen Drew (.186), the on-base percentage of Will Middlebrooks (.233), as well as the combined home runs from Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury (1), and even as productive as Mike Napoli has been to this point, it's hard to envision the Sox offense won't be even better.
.The schedule. The knock on the Sox' hot start has been the schedule. Well, after playing five series against AL East teams, plus three others against teams leading their division at the time of the matchup, it might get even easier. The Sox leave Texas tonight and it's not until May 31, in the 56th game of their season, that they'll face another team that entered Saturday with a winning record.
.Strikeout pitchers. As good as the Red Sox' pitching staff has been - it entered the weekend fourth in the AL with a 3.54 earned run average - it hasn't necessarily been because of great luck, as the .294 average the Sox have yielded on balls in play leaves them in the middle of the pack. However, under first-year pitching coach Juan Nieves the Sox were averaging 9.7 strikeouts per nine innings, which is second only to the Tigers, and which should enable them to control their results if it continues. For what it's worth, Nieves spent the previous five seasons as part of the coaching staff in Chicago, and all five years the White Sox finished better than average in strikeouts per nine.
In part because of their pitchers' propensity for strikeouts, Red Sox games have to this point generally featured less action than the typical AL contests. Boston's staff has also issued the third-most bases on balls, while its offense began the weekend ranked second in both whiffs and walks, so in total 35 percent of plate appearances in Sox games this season have ended without the ball being put into play. League-wide, the average is only 29.6 percent.
Stat of the week: Through Friday, the Red Sox had combined for one home run from the first three spots in their batting order. That was five less than the second-fewest in the AL (Houston has six).

It's Not Me, It's You
This Valentine's Day, as you throw chocolates and champagne in your shopping cart (or on your Pinterest board), consider adding an extra item: generosity.
I know it sounds cheesy—of course you know generosity isn't stocked in supermarkets—but stick with me. The idea of moving Valentine's Day away from dinner reservations and singles awareness towards a day of generous acts began in 2011 by Sasha Dichter, Scott Case, Ellen McGirt, and our own Katya Andresen.
The premise is simple.
Today, think about how you can be generous and then…just…be generous.
Want to spread the love but don't know how? Try some of these on for size:
- Write a note to someone you admire.
- Look people in the eye and say, "Thank you."
- Donate to your favorite cause.
- Call someone you appreciate, and tell them why they're important to you.
- Buy coffee for the person behind you in line.
- Use the hashtag #SM4SG (social media for social good) to spread good cheer.
- Share your smile.
My generous act? I'll try a few, but will start with this: Thank you. Thank YOU for reading this post, participating in our community, and inspiring me to be a better person. YOU have made my life sing.
Whether you're in a relationship, single, or in some sort of 'it's complicated' status, this Valentine's Day, let's all make a difference with generosity.
Love this - and I'd love to take it a step further and suggest that we try to do things like this on a regular basis. It takes so little to be kind to another, and the rewards are endless!
Agreed, Angie! Small acts of kindness have a big ripple effect. Thanks for reading.

Necrotizing enterocolitis is the death of tissue in the intestine. It occurs most often in premature or sick babies.
Necrotizing enterocolitis occurs when the lining of the intestinal wall dies and the tissue falls off. The exact cause of this disorder is unknown. It is thought, however, that a drop in blood flow to the bowel keeps the bowel from producing mucus. The mucus protects the gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria in the intestine may also be a cause.
Most of the time, this problem develops in an infant that is ill or premature. It is likely to occur while the infant is still in the hospital.
Babies at higher risk of the condition include:
Symptoms may come on slowly or suddenly, and may include:
Treatment for a baby that may have necrotizing entercolis include:
The infant will need surgery if there is a hole in the intestines or inflammation of the abdominal wall (peritonitis).
In this surgery, the doctor will:
The bowel is reconnected after several weeks or months when the infection has healed
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a serious disease. About 1 in 4 infants die from it. Early, aggressive treatment helps improve the outcome.
Get emergency medical care if any symptoms of necrotizing enterocolitis develop. Infants that have been hospitalized for illness or prematurity are at higher risk and should be watched for this problem.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The threatened layoff of all U.S. meat inspectors for two weeks is a misguided way to cut federal spending and flouts the government's responsibility to assure a reliable food supply, a key lawmaker said on Wednesday.
Without federal inspectors on hand, the 6,290 U.S. meat and poultry plants would have to halt operations and would lose an estimated $10 billion in production. Some grocery stores could run short of meat and prices for meat could shoot up.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has said repeatedly the furloughs might be unavoidable under automatic spending cuts scheduled for March 1. The USDA has not said when they might occur, but it would give at least 30 days' notice to employees.
"I am concerned that your plan to furlough (meat) inspectors is impractical and misguided, as it could prevent FSIS (Food Safety and Inspection Service) from meeting its responsibilities to packers, processors and consumers," wrote Texas Republican Michael Conaway, chairman of the House Agriculture subcommittee overseeing crops and risk management.
Conaway asked for a detailed explanation of how the USDA would carry out overall budget cuts of about $2 billion and how it would keep the meat supply moving. Ranchers and farmers "need you to manage these cuts in a way that protects them from as much harm as possible," he said
Vilsack was expected to testify on Tuesday, three days before the cuts would take effect, at a House Agriculture Committee hearing on rural economic conditions. It would be the first opportunity for lawmakers to ask him directly about the USDA's plans.
Meat packers and processors say food inspectors should be counted as "essential" personnel who need to stay on the job during a government shutdown, which was their status in the past. Vilsack said in a February 12 letter that, although furloughs are "the least desirable option," there was no other way to satisfy the impending cuts.
"Unlike other budget scenarios, such as a short-term government shutdown, the exemption provisions of the sequestration statutes do not include exceptions that would be applicable to FSIS inspection activities," wrote Vilsack.
If the budget cuts take effect, up to one-third of USDA's 100,000 employees might be furloughed, the USDA says. The Forest Service might close hundreds of campground and picnic sites, while 600,000 poor women and children would be dropped from a program that provides additional food to them.

Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory disorder of the airways. A person with asthma may not feel symptoms all the time. But when an "asthma episode" (also called an asthma attack) occurs, it becomes hard for air to pass through the airways. The result is breathing difficulties, wheezing, coughing, or other symptoms.
To understand asthma, it is helpful to understand how air moves in and out of the lungs:
Travel into the lungs and see the bronchial tubes.
Need Quicktime?
Classic asthma symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing, happen when the airways become narrow and blocked. Three things happen during an asthma episode:
People with asthma have very sensitive airways that are constantly on the verge of over-reacting to asthma triggers. It doesn't take much for the airways to become inflamed, constricted, and filled with fluid.
Asthma can be triggered by just about all of the same things that trigger allergies. It also can be triggered by cold air, exercise, and other factors. Possible asthma triggers include:
A key step in controlling asthma is to identify which of these triggers make your asthma worse, and then work to eliminate or avoid them. Sometimes it takes exposure to more than one of these factors before an asthma episode is triggered.
While you can't control some things, like cold viruses, you can avoid being around others who are sick. Take common-sense approaches and manage what you can.

10 NBA Players Who Changed Their Jersey Numbers
A week ago, LeBron James took his Instagram to ask fans if he should wear no. 6 or go back to no. 23 this season. Recently, James announced that since he's with his old team, we'll be seeing him rock his old 23 again for the Cleveland Cavaliers. But he's not the first athlete to switch it up once he switches teams. The same way girls change their hairstyles after a big life decision, NBA players change their numbers to signal something new.
The big story here is that right before James left Cleveland to hit South Beach, he said he was going to change his jersey number from 23 to 6 out of respect for Michael Jordan. He even said the NBA should retire MJ's number league wide. James might be going back on his initial thought but it's all good with MJ, who said to ESPN's Chris Broussard "I'm cool with it. I don't own a number."
Here's a list of few NBA players that wore different numbers in their careers.

Ashley King - Over the weekend my colleague John Kinsley wrote an analysis on why he believes Nintendo bowing out of E3 is the worst thing the company could have done this year. While I agree that it was a surprising move, I don't share his opinion on Nintendo's decision. With the May 21st unveiling of Microsoft's next Xbox, the gaming industry at large will be focused on what Microsoft and Sony will be bringing to E3. It's akin to two linebackers going head to head while Nintendo's in the background, kicking field goals.
The last line sums it up really. Gamers care about the games not statistics or what the box is going to look like.
A damage control article from a website called WiiUdaily? nothing new here folks
Isn't E3 the general public presentation for the gaming community? That its Nintendo chance to people who don't own their system?
There is only Sock Gnome logic in trying to defend this: something is missing.
Sadly people have been saying just that since the N64. Including myself.
Might be smart for them but i love it when any firm shows off new hardware and games at a conference.
Anyways i believe that Nintendo was terrified of the other two overshadowing their conference which is why the abandoned their usual E3 conference in favor of Wii U directs.

Various cabinet styles and sizes combine with the base and top for a truly signature look for now and whatever's next.
In 2007, Chuck Saylor, founder of izzy+, created the Audrey modular storage cabinet collection for izzy. Saylor has more than 21 patents and three decades of furniture industry experience, including senior management positions in marketing, design and sales with Haworth, Inc. and Knoll. In 1976, during what he might call a defining moment, Saylor, Dick Haworth and Harold Wilson led the design and development of the first pre-wired steel panel system in the office furniture industry. Saylor's work currently is being shown at New York's Museum of Modern Art.Chuck Saylor saw Audrey as the byproduct of izzy's research around furniture for collaboration – at home, school or the office. He envisioned Audrey as a platform for people to share their ideas, store project files and create highly personally space. Audrey was seen as a perfect fit for executive or open plan offices, as well as residential décor. Its highly customizable character was attractive to designers, who could create a one-of-a-kind product with each material and color selection, as well as mix materials horizontally and vertically within an assembly.

Dobie Gray, a smooth balladeer and soul singer who scored his biggest hit in the early 1970s with "Drift Away," has died. He was 71.
Gray, who had cancer, died Tuesday at his Nashville home, said Charlie Andrews, his attorney.
Before he adopted the name of Dobie Gray — a nod to sitcom character Dobie Gillis — the singer recorded under other names before breaking through with 1965's "The 'In' Crowd," which became a top 20 hit. He also had success that year with "See You at the Go-Go."

Walker takes in sights on eve of big league debut
HOUSTON -- Top Mariners pitching prospect Taijuan Walker arrived at Minute Maid Park on Thursday and took in the sights, even though he won't officially be added to the club's roster until just before his Major League debut on Friday.
"I'm pumped to be here," Walker said after playing catch with a football with teammates in the outfield prior to Thursday's series opener with the Astros.View Full Game Coverage
HOUSTON -- Top Mariners pitching prospect Taijuan Walker arrived at Minute Maid Park on Thursday and took in the sights, even though he won't officially be added to the club's roster until just before his Major League debut on Friday.
"I'm pumped to be here," Walker said after playing catch with a football with teammates in the outfield prior to Thursday's series opener with the Astros.View Full Game Coverage
The lanky right-hander couldn't stay with the team during Thursday's game since he won't be on the 25-man roster until the Mariners create an opening Friday. But Walker, who turned 21 two weeks ago, soaked in the stadium and visiting clubhouse and got an early opportunity to picture what it's going to feel like for his first big-league start.
"I couldn't help but smile," Walker said of his first steps out onto the Minute Maid turf. "It's a nice park, too. I'm excited to have a big crowd in there and pitch in a big league stadium. But it's really going to hit me when I'm the mound tomorrow right before my first pitch."
Walker was the Mariners' first selection in the 2010 Draft as a supplemental first-round selection (43rd overall) out of Yucaipa High School in California. And while he's been on the fast track, that journey has seemed slow at times for the youngster.
"I've been working hard, especially this year," Walker said. "Getting sent back down to Double-A [Jackson], I knew I had a lot of stuff to work on. So, I've been trying to go out there every day with a purpose, with something new to work on. It's been going good for me. This year has been going well. Just to finally get the call up, it feels like all the hard work I've put in is finally paying off."
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Walker is regarded as one of the premier young right-handers in the game, having pitched in the past two All-Star Futures Games and been listed as the Mariners No. 1 prospect and the No. 4 overall prospect in baseball by MLB.com.
Walker went 7-10 with a 4.69 ERA in 25 starts last year for Jackson and was 4-7 with a 2.46 ERA in 14 starts for Jackson this season before getting promoted to Triple-A Tacoma, where he went 5-3 with a 3.61 ERA in 11 games.
In 141 1/3 innings this season, Walker has 160 strikeouts and 57 walks with a 1.196 WHIP. He was the youngest player in the Pacific Coast League this year and will be the fifth-youngest player in Mariners history to make his debut as a starting pitcher at 21 years and 17 days.
Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik has set about a 160-inning limit for Walker this season, which means he'll likely only start about three games with Seattle before being shut down. But he's not worrying about that right now.
"I'm just going to go out there and take it day by day, one start at a time," he said. "Whenever they decide to shut me down, they will. But as of right now, I'm going to prepare like I'm going to pitch the rest of the season."
Zduriencik said the decision to call up Walker now was to help "set the tone for Spring Training next year," but he declined to get specific on how much the youngster will throw after being used for 126 2/3 innings last year.
"We are going to be careful," Zduriencik said. "We aren't going to do anything crazy with Taijuan. I think the biggest factor is that he's going to get experience pitching up here. And even if it's short-lived and short innings -- a smaller sample than we might do with someone else -- that's the important factor. He's going to get his feet wet. He's going to understand what it's like to be on a big league mound and have a big league club behind him and the experience of being in a big league ballpark. I think all those things are a positive for him."
When Walker found out he was getting promoted on Wednesday, he immediately called his mom in California.
"She'd already found out through Twitter," Walker said, grinning. "She's always on Twitter, really active. So it wasn't much of a surprise when I called her, but it was still exciting. We face-timed and my brother and sister were there. I got on the phone and they just started screaming. It was awesome."

Is the racecourse flat? Will I find many cobbled segments? ↓
The course includes almost all the most beautiful and important monuments, streets and squares of Rome. At the same time, we contained the number of the direction changes (77) and that of cobblestones kilometers (about 7 located mainly along the start and finish area). There are some hills but not of great importance. For more information, see the page dedicated to the route and altimetry.
What temperature should I expect in Rome ? ↓
These are the averages of the last editions: min 8° - max 18°
What's the minimum age to take part in the marathon? ↓
If you reside in Italy you must be 20 or older on the race day. If you do not reside in Italy you must be 18 or older on the race day.

You have two options: to present a membership card of a Club of athletics federation affiliated to the IAAF or a medical certificate valid for competitive athletics (D.M. 18/02/1982), to download the relative form from the "How to enter" page of www.maratonadiroma.it, that will be matched to the Runcard (insurance coverage on accidents) that you can purchase by Rome Marathon Organization (or that if you already own because you participated already in Italy, in a race before the Rome Marathon).
I reside in Italy, I am no member of any running club - and I want to run the Rome Marathon. What shall I do? ↓
You have four options: 1) membership with a club affiliated to the FIDAL 2) membership with a Sports Promotion club (EPS) 3) membership with the Rome Marathon Running Club, 4) Runcard: See the special section on the Regulation. Resident and not in Italy, can not participate with the sole medical certificate.
I am member of a FIDAL-affiliated club. What do I need to get registered? ↓

I'm Italian but I reside abroad. What do I need to get registered? ↓
The country of residence is taken in consideration, not the nationality. You have two options: to present a membership card of a club affiliated to the IAAF or submit a medical certificate valid for competitive athletics (D.M. 1(/02/1982) that will be matched to Runcard that will be given by the organization of the Rome Marathon (or that you already own because you participated already in a race, before the Rome Marathon).
I?ve registered, paid and submitted all the required documents. Why I haven?t been assigned a bib number yet? ↓
We need to carefully scrutinize all documents. We check the copy of the payment and the validity of your membership card. If everything is correct, we give the ok to the system. This operation could take from 3 to 10 working days. In the days close to the change of registration fee, times could take longer, considering the large number of requests that come to us all together. Subsequently, the system will assign the bib number and you confirmation letter will be available in your reserved area.
By what standard is my bib number assigned? ↓
It depends on your marathon PB in the last 2 years. Should you not have one, or have one older than 2 years, you will be assigned to the last starting corral.
I have not received my user ID and password to access my private area, what shall I do? ↓
E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. For urgent enquiries, call +39 06.40.65.064.
I have paid and sent all the required documents. How can I check that my registration has been successful? ↓
Enter your reserved area with the User-Id and the password you received when you first register. When a registration is complete and the bib is assigned, a confirmation letter becomes available for download.
By when do I have to submit the required documents? Can?t I provide them at the expo, when I come to pick my bib? ↓
As reported in the Rules, the maximum time to send all the documentation is the day of the last registration deadline. If you do not provide the right documentation before the deadline, your application will be considered "in pending". You'll be able to regularize your registration at the "Pending Desk" at Sport Expo The Marathon Village bringing the missing documents, but you risk to find a long queue.
Which Credit Card do you accept? ↓
VISA and MASTERCARD only. But you have also other payment option (see Rules - Methods of payment)

I registered - but didn?t pay yet. How can I pay now with credit card? ↓
Enter your personal area, logging in with your user-id and password. To calculate the registration fee will be consider the date of payment, not the date when you signed up.
By mistake I made the payment twice, what should I do? ↓
Generally, no more than one transaction is authorized. For peace of mind, however, we suggest you to send a screenshot of the payment to firstname.lastname@example.com, explaining what happened. In the eventuality of a payment actually gone through twice, we will proceed to refund. Please note the time necessary to get the money back depends only on your bank.
I purchased the medal engraving service. How will I get my medal engraved? ↓
Together with the bib, you will find a medal engraving voucher. Keep the voucher in the bag you'll use on the race day. Once you'll have collected your bag after the finish, go to the medal engraving tent and hand your medal and the voucher to the staff. Your medal will be engraved in a few minutes.
I have not purchased the medal engraving service ? but now I want it. What shall I do? ↓
Enter your personal area on maratonadiroma.it. Select the service. Pay it with credit card.

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian's Cleavage Show Up at Nuggets vs. Lakers Game 7 (Photos)
The basketball knowledge of these two are minimal at best.
But, this is about being seen, showing boobs, wearing stilettos and getting in US Weekly.
Mission Accomplished…
That is solid cleavage right there.

A white man convicted of burning down a predominantly black church because he was angry about President Barack Obama's election was sentenced Thursday to nearly 14 years in prison.
Michael Jacques was convicted in April of various charges in connection with the fire, including conspiracy against civil rights and damage or destruction of religious property. He was sentenced Thursday to 13 years and 10 months in federal prison.
A federal judge also ordered the 27-year-old Jacques to pay nearly $1.6 million in restitution to the church and its insurance company.
Prosecutors say Jacques and two friends burned down the Macedonia Church of God in Christ in Springfield the night of Obama's 2008 election in an act of racism. Jacques has said he was at his parents' house that night.
Benjamin Haskell and Thomas Gleason pleaded guilty to the civil rights charges. Haskell was sentenced to nine years in prison. Gleason is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 18.
Prosecutors said the men burned down the church on Nov. 5, 2008, hours after Obama was elected as the nation's first black president. The church was under construction at the time of the fire and no one was inside. A few firefighters suffered minor injuries fighting the blaze.
Prosecutors said all three men confessed to the crime and implicated each other. But Jacques later recanted, saying authorities wore him down during a long interrogation as he suffered withdrawal from addictions to Percocet painkillers and cigarettes.
During closing arguments at Jacques' trial, prosecutors said his racism reached the "boiling point" when Obama was elected. They said he often used racial epithets and expressed anger that minorities were taking over the country.
Jacques' attorney, Lori Levinson, called the sentence "extraordinarily heavy" and said Jacques plans to appeal.
"He continues to maintain his innocence," Levinson said.
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said in a statement that she hopes the sentence "sends a strong message that we will bring all of our resources to bear in order to protect the civil liberties of every citizen."

Call it the "Jennifer Lawrence stock rally".
As hackers try to steal credit card data from Home Depot and naked pictures from Hollywood celebrities, cybersecurity companies are seeing big gains.
Shares of both Palo Alto Networks and FireEye — two of the hottest stocks in the security world — are on fire today. Palo Alto rallied 5.6%, and FireEye popped nearly 9%. Both stocks are currently trending on StockTwits, a social media discussion platform for traders.
"Cyber security stocks are ripping on news of a possible security breach at Home Depot," @StockTwits wrote on Twitter.
Home Depot confirmed on Tuesday it has teamed up with banks and law enforcement to look into some "unusual activities" tied to its customers.
This comes mere hours after private photos of Lawrence and other celebrities were leaked all over the Internet this weekend due to an apparent breach in their Apple iCloud accounts. The iPhone maker said hackers forced their way into the private photo collections by repeatedly guessing passwords or answers to their security questions.
This isn't the first time a major hack caused a security firm to rally. Earlier this year FireEye stock jumped after Target grappled with a gigantic breach that impacted some 40 million customers.
Seizing on the dramatic increase in cyber attacks, both companies went public in recent years. Palo Alto raised $260 million in June 2012 when it starting trading on the New York Stock Exchange, while FireEye raised $304 million from its 2013 IPO on the Nasdaq.
The two cyber stocks have moved in different directions this year. Despite Tuesday's rally, FireEye is down 23% in 2014. Investors have shown far more love for Palo Alto, which is now up 56% so far this year.

Extruded Brass Hammers
Buy extruded Brass Hammers here, at The Hammer Source!
Made from extruded Brass. The extruded heads are typically a bit harder since the process compacts and aligns the metal grain. Their dimensions are a bit more precise as well. These hammers all have heavy duty Hickory handles. Other sizes may be available, e-mail or call us for more information, 877-496-2537. Made in the UK.
Hardness comparisons can be found here.
Generally, brass is considered to be non-sparking. However, The Hammer Source does not guarantee any hammer to be non-sparking. Hammers can pick up other materials during use and those materials, like iron or steel, can be imbedded in the brass and cause sparks. Soft metal hammers like copper, aluminum and brass should be reground and dressed before each use in a critical environment.
To help find what you need, you can search by metal type (Nickel-Aluminum Bronze, Extruded Brass or Yellow Brass).

MONTGOMERY | A bill that would allow people to carry pistols in their vehicles if they are on their way to a practice has cleared a hurdle in the Alabama House.
MONTGOMERY | A bill that would allow people to carry pistols in their vehicles if they are on their way to a practice has cleared a hurdle in the Alabama House.
The House Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee voted 5-3 in favor of the bill on Wednesday. It is opposed by some law enforcement officials who have argued it would give criminals a way to get around the law requiring them to have a permit to carry a concealed firearm. Some sheriffs have said it would reduce the amount of money their departments receive from selling pistol permits.
The sponsor, Republican Rep. Becky Nordgren of Gadsden, said the bill would encourage people to learn to use the weapons they have at home.
"If you have a weapon at home, I encourage you to learn how to use it," Nordgren said at the meeting.
But Democratic Rep. Napoleon Bracy of Pritchard said the bill would give a possible criminal an excuse when law enforcement officers find a pistol in his or her car and there is no permit to carry a concealed weapon.
"A person can ride around with a gun and say, 'I'm just going to the range,' when he's really up to no good," Bracy said.
Several committee members said people are getting out their guns in the wake of gun violence and need to learn how to use those firearms.
Voting for the bill were committee chairman Republican Rep. Micky Hammon of Decatur, Republican Rep. Allen Farley of McCalla, Democratic Rep. Charles Newton of Greenville, Republican Rep. Dickie Drake of Leeds and Republican Rep. Wayne Johnson of Ryland. Voting against the bill were Shiver, Bracy and Republican Rep. David Standridge of Hayden.

Study BI 1182.51 is an open-label safety and pharmacokinetics study of tipranavir plus ritonavir (TPV/r) alone or in combination with a second boosted PI in highly treatment-experienced patients with >3 PI mutations at codons 33, 82, 84 and 90. Patients were randomized to receive twice a day either:
All patients received a preselected, investigator-defined, optimized background regimen. For the first 2 weeks, all patients received a ritonavir-boosted single PI regimen. After 2 weeks of single PI treatment, tipranavir was added to the dual-boosted PI arms.
Overall, the combination of tipranavir with other PIs was well tolerated, with the same adverse event incidence in all arms. The most common adverse event was diarrhea (5-15%), followed by nausea (4-13%). Most gastrointestinal side effects improved after the second week. The incidence of laboratory abnormalities was similar in all arms, with elevated triglycerides as the most common one.
The efficacy of tipranavir plus ritonavir alone in the first 2 weeks was better than that of the other boosted PIs, with a 1.15-log drop in viral load compared to only about a 0.2-0.3-log drop in the other boosted-PI arms. When tipranavir was added to other boosted PIs, there was further viral load reduction of about 1 log. After week 4, however, the viral load started to return to baseline. As for drug levels, when tipranavir was combined with either amprenavir or lopinavir, there was a slight increase in tipranavir levels. Unfortunately, tipranavir decreased the levels of other PIs significantly. The minimum concentration of drug in plasma (Cmin) values for amprenavir, lopinavir and saquinavir were reduced by 51%, 45% and 84%, respectively.
In summary, tipranavir plus ritonavir alone or in combination with other PIs seems to be well tolerated. However, the efficacy of tipranavir plus ritonavir alone or in combination in this HIV treatment-experienced group was not that great after 4 weeks. This cannot be explained only by the negative drug-drug interactions shown here. It is also possible that most patients in this trial were preselected to have at least 3 out of 4 protease-associated mutations (33, 82, 84 and 90), which can cause up to a 2.2-fold change in the half-maximal inhibitory concentration of tipranavir (phenotypic cutoff = 2). It is very likely that when tipranavir is approved, it will be used in salvage therapy where double-boosted PIs are commonly used. Given the negative pharmacokinetics seen with amprenavir plus ritonavir, saquinavir plus ritonavir and lopinavir plus ritonavir, further studies need to be done to determine the optimal dosing of these combinations.

Feeling dumb all of a sudden
If you drive 40 miles to the next town at 40 miles per hour and return at 20 miles per hour, what is your average speed for the round trip?
In which U.S. state capital city does water boil at the lowest temperature?
Words such as "faculty" or "troupe" belong to what special category of nouns that names groups composed of members?
I used to think straight A's in high school and graduating from college with honors made me a pretty smart woman.
Then I sat through a high school quiz bowl competition.
It's a combination of "Jeopardy" and "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?"
Six students each from two opposing schools play individually, buzzing in quickly to answer obscure questions. If the response is correct, the kids collaborate as a team for bonus points.
Although self-control was sometimes difficult, I did manage to resist the urge to raise my hand or blurt out answers.
Maybe that's because I didn't know as many answers as I thought I should and fear of failure kept me quiet.
I sat there listening intently as these teenage brainiacs found answers to such things as: What is the smallest whole number less than one times 10 to the 4th power that includes the letter A?
Quiz Bowl is a fantastic academic competition that broadens knowledge and encourages confidence. What the kids don't already know, they learn from listening.
As a matter of fact, one of the answers has already come in handy for me as allergy season hits full swing:
There is considerable clinical evidence that pressing a finger strongly to the region immediately below the nose can inhibit what reflex reaction?
For those who won't sleep until they get them, here are the answers to the above questions: 26.7 mph, Santa Fe, collective nouns, one thousand and sneezing.

Its everywhere on the web. Just type vinay kumar groin injury. Virat Kohli's quote after the toss - "We have rested Shikhar Dhwan to accommodate Pujara while Vinay Kumar has groin issue so Mohit Sharma is in"
Also can be seen at

You only get a free modification if he's ruled out of the whole series, so that has to happen first. It looks like he's just out of this match but could play the 5th.
why there is no competetion for Bangladesh-SA Women but for WI-NZ ?
and i think you should make more competetion like, ind-'A'-WI-'A also.
and ALL ODIs . minnows like ireland, kenya matches also
We haven't been able to get the squads for Bangladesh-SA Women.
If you've been around a while, you'd notice we've increased to cover a lot of extra competitions. We can only handle so many, but thanks for your suggestion.
Yeah, I have noticed that you have added a lot more competition than before.
Thanks for that!
No problem, tell your friends about it and help us to spread the word
Dear James,
I think adding competitions for Afganistan-Kenya will add more fun than U19 and Women.
thats my opinion, because we get more information/data/stats on them than U19/Women.
Thanks for the suggestion
Please create new competition only after you have the squad. Otherwise its of no use.
I would like Manish Tiwari in place of dhawan coz dhawan will play for chandigadh women team vs. Kenya women team,dhawan will hit 200 not out for sure
Namibia should play southafrica A team
Namibia would love to have pujara, Peterson, Trott,dhawan and Cowan in their side.
Irfan Pathan replaces injured Vinay Kumar for Sri Lanka tour. The BCCI statement added that "Vinay Kumar is expected to regain match-fitness in three weeks.

Synthesis and Quality Control of Arctic and Nordic Sea T/S Observations for the CASAMS Database
OCCI Funded Project: 2007Abstract
The goal of the proposed work is to quality control the Arctic and northern North Atlantic temperature and salinity observations which are currently being assembled as part of a larger international collaborative synthesis.The data being compiled are relevant to the study of the ocean carbon system, in particular, as it pertains to the quantification of decadal to centennial large-scale inventory changes.The temperature and salinity quality control will be performed at WHO1 in an international collaboration with members of the CASAMS (CArbon data Synthesis, Arctic Mediterranean Seas) working group. CASAMS is one of three groups (the other two focused on the Atlantic and the Southern Ocean) working to combine carbon related observations which were not possible to include in the Global Ocean Data Analysis Project synthesis. The Global Ocean Data Analysis Project included only observations made between 1990 & 1998 and to the south of 60°N, and was not able to obtain permission to include many of the observations which are available for the present effort.Working members of CASAMS, will have access to the entire Arctic/Subarctic database, as well as the data compiled by the other two working groups. Therefore, the intention is that the work proposed here will lead to at least two further studies: the first would extend the PI'S current, NOAA and NSF funded investigation into the oceanic transport and divergence (source and sinks) of dissolved inorganic carbon and anthropogenic carbon in the Atlantic Basin further north across the Arctic region to connect with the Pacific; the second would be to investigate possible changes in the advection and source/sink status of carbon in the Greenland/Iceland/Norwegian Seas and North Atlantic Ocean through the study of repeat transect data. The proposed effort will allow us to strengthen recently formed collaborative ties to the European community investigating carbon and carbon change in the Arctic and Subarctic as we provide the predominantly biogeochemically oriented CASAMS group with a physical oceanographer's perspective.
