Sony Computer Entertainment was proud to let it be known that great
progress has been made in the one month since PlayStation 3 became part of
Stanford University's Folding@home program, a distributed computing project aimed
at understanding protein folding, misfolding and related diseases.
"The PS3 turnout has been amazing, greatly exceeding
our expectations and allowing us to push our work dramatically forward,"
said Vijay Pande, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University and
Folding@home program lead. "Thanks to PS3, we have performed simulations
in the first few weeks that would normally take us more than a year to calculate.
We are now gearing up for new simulations that will continue our current
studies of Alzheimer's and other diseases."
The PS3's inherent skill at protein folding is largely due
to its Cell Broadband Engine, which is amongst the fastest in the network and
is bested only by the fastest GPUs. According to Sony, more than 250,000 unique
PS3 users have registered to the program in just one month. PS3 users are
delivering nearly 400 teraflops, representing more than half the
computing capacity of the network's 700 teraflops at a single moment.
"We continue to be thrilled with the ongoing
contributions of the PS3 user community in helping the Folding@home program
study the causes of many different diseases that afflict our society,"
said Masayuki Chatani, Corporate Executive and CTO Computer, Sony Computer
Entertainment Inc. "As we move forward, we are issuing a call to action
for all PS3 owners around the world to download the Folding@home application
and help this cause. These PS3 fans can also be part of history as the
Folding@home distributed computing program inches closer to achieving a
petaflop - a measure of computing power that has never before been reached."
In related PS3 Folding@home news, tomorrow will see the
release of an application update that will further enhance program by improving
in folding calculation speeds, increasing visibility of user location on the
globe and giving the ability for users to create longer donor or team names. PS3
users can download the new update version 1.1 by restarting the Folding@home
Earlier this month, IBM and Mayo Clinic announced that they have successfully adapted and tested the Cell Broadband Engine for use in medical imaging.

Montenegro Police Chief visit to INTERPOL underlines commitment to international police cooperation
LYON, France – Identifying areas where Montenegro can further benefit from INTERPOL's global tools and law enforcement network was the focus of today's visit to INTERPOL's General Secretariat headquarters by Montenegro's Police Director, Slavko Stojanović.
Cross-border law enforcement initiatives to tackle crimes ranging from human trafficking to financial fraud, as well as cooperation in identifying and locating international fugitives, were on the agenda during Mr Stojanović's meeting with INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.
"INTERPOL is a strategic partner for Montenegrin police in exchanging intelligence data through the implementation of modern services and global tools in fighting all forms of organized crime," said Mr Stojanović.
"It is through this strong cooperation with INTERPOL that the Montenegro Police directorate has participated and contributed to a number of important projects, notably Pink Panthers and Infra-Red, which have resulted in a significant number of arrests internationally.
"The INTERPOL family can count on Montenegro police as valuable partner in the fight against all types of organized crime," concluded Mr Stojanović.
Secretary General Noble highlighted how Montenegro's police are ensuring it remains safe for its citizens, business and visitors through its use of INTERPOL's global tools. In addition to being in the top 10 users of the world police organization's Stolen Motor Vehicles database and in the top 15 for checks against the Stolen and Lost Travel Documents database, the overall number of searches of all INTERPOL databases by Montenegro makes it the second highest in the world in terms of search-to-citizen ratio.
"Montenegro is a model INTERPOL member country in many ways, punching well above its weight in terms of its size and population," said Mr Noble.
"It is not just through their use of INTERPOL's global databases that Montenegro's authorities and Police Director Stojanović consistently demonstrate their commitment to the safety of their citizens and visitors.
"It is also Montenegro's willingness to engage with the global law enforcement community at all levels, from installing the latest technology for faster fingerprint exchange and identification, to their involvement in operations to locate and arrest dangerous international fugitives, which makes them a key player in global law enforcement," concluded the INTERPOL Chief
Accompanied by Mr Milan Tomic, Deputy Director, Head of Criminal Police Department, Mr Dejan Djurovic, Head of INTERPOL's National Central Bureau in Podgorica and Ms Selma Mehovic, Head of international police cooperation, Director Stojanović also visited INTERPOL's Command and Coordination Centre and was briefed on the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation due to open in Singapore in 2014.
In addition to hosting the INTERPOL European Regional Conference in 2010, Montenegro was the 100th member country officially visited by Secretary General Noble. In 2012 Montenegro became just the second country in the world to benefit from the deployment of a special INTERPOL support team during the summer tourist season to ensure that Montenegrin police benefitted from rapid access to information about foreign tourists if required.

ESPN Preview:
Linsanity had nearly reached its peak when Jeremy Lin hit a game-winning 3-pointer to defeat the Toronto Raptors last month.
While the hoopla surrounding Lin has since cooled a bit, interim coach Mike Woodson is starting to create a buzz of his own.
After New York's brutal losing stretch, Woodson seems to have the Knicks back on track and will look to stay undefeated when the Raptors visit Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.
Mike D'Antoni resigned two days after the Knicks (21-24) suffered their sixth straight defeat March 12. A change at the top seems to have a made a world of difference for New York, which finds itself 3-0 under Woodson.
After blowing out Portland 121-79 in Woodson's first game Wednesday, the Knicks completed a home-and-home sweep of Indiana with Saturday's 102-88 road win.
"Our hearts are right in it, and it was a total team effort," Woodson said. "I couldn't be more proud of the team than I am (Saturday). I happen to have a great group of guys and a talented bunch. We just have to keep them playing at a high level. If we do that, we have a chance."
Lin had a team-high 19 points to go with seven rebounds and six assists while Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony each scored 16.
"Coach Woodson, he's more of -- he's a player's coach," Stoudemire said. "It's a matter of us as players playing hard for him and trying to get these wins.
"We're still looking to make our mark. We're still looking to improve in the playoff standings."
Sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks appear to have a good shot at doing just that if they can keep things going. New York has outscored opponents by an average of 23.7 points during its run while holding teams to just 39.1 percent from the floor.
"I just think it's we have all 15 guys right now on the same page buying in, and that's the biggest thing, is that we're playing together. I don't think there's any major changes philosophically from a coaching standpoint," said Lin, who led the way during New York's seven-game winning streak Feb. 4-15.
Lin came up especially big during win No. 6 of that run, posting 27 points and 11 assists while hitting a 3-pointer with less than a second left to defeat the Raptors 90-87 on Feb. 14.
Toronto (15-30) dropped to 2-2 on its five-game road swing with Saturday's 107-103 loss to Charlotte. Jerryd Bayless continued his impressive play with 29 points, but after building a 10-point halftime lead the Raptors were outscored 38-14 in the third quarter and couldn't recover.
"As much as it's a learning curve for us, I don't think there's any excuses," center Jamaal Magloire said. "This is a game that we could have very easily won, no matter what the circumstances are. I'm more or less speechless about what happened (Saturday) to us and very disappointed."
Bayless, who has missed both meetings with New York this season due to injury, has averaged 21.8 points on 54.3 percent shooting while starting each of the last five games for injured point guard Jose Calderon (sprained right ankle).
Bayless, however, may have to continue his scoring surge off the bench. Calderon, who has averaged 17.0 points and 10.5 assists against the Knicks this season, is expected to return and start Tuesday.
The Raptors have dropped five of six in this series, with their only win coming 90-85 at MSG on Jan. 2. Andrea Bargnani scored 21 points in that matchup but averaged just 12.8 on 35.6 percent shooting in his first six games back after missing nearly two months with a calf injury.
Seems New York fans have their very own Vince Carter at the end of his run in Toronto. Unsurprisingly, he admits to not trying. This makes my blood boil and I'm not even a Knicks fan.

Insurance Trades Hail Flood Program Borrowing Boost
Insurance industry officials are voicing strong support for the legislation signed into law Sunday by President Obama that raised the borrowing authority for the National Flood Insurance Program by one-third.
Those praising Congress for its action include the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America, the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies and the American Insurance Association.
Governors Andrew Cuomo of New York and Chris Christie of New York also thanked Congress for its action.
"The IIABA strongly supports raising the NFIP borrowing authority in order to ensure that NFIP policyholders who had the prudence to purchase protection and have been paying their premiums receive the claims payment they are due," says Charles Symngton, IIABA senior vice president of government affairs.
Symington says some experts estimate that damage from Sandy could generate as many as 139,000 claims, but without an increase in the borrowing authority only about 12,000 of these could have been covered from existing funds.
Nat Wienecke, PCI senior vice president federal government relations, adds, "PCI commends Congress for making this important issue a priority at the start of the Congressional session."
Tom Santos, AIA vice president for federal affairs, says, "Ensuring that the NFIP is able to pay claims will provide much needed help to the victims of Sandy and assist in the recovery of the affected communities."
In his comments, Jimi Grande, NAMIC senior vice president of federal and political affairs, reiterates NAMIC's call for Congress to include the Safe Building Code Incentive Act in the broader Sandy relief package to be considered later this
"As we help the victims of Sandy recover, it's also important that Congress consider what can be done to prepare for the next storm," Grande says.
With every dollar of federal spending subject to scrutiny, studies have shown that every dollar of spending on disaster mitigation equates to four dollars in savings from reduced losses, Grande says.
"Strong building codes have repeatedly been shown to be the most effective and efficient means of reducing losses from storms, and Congress can help encourage their use by including the Safe Building Code Incentive Act in the broader Sandy relief package to be considered later this month."
In a joint statement, Cuomo and Christie say the congressional action was a necessary and critical first step toward delivering aid to the people of New Jersey and New York.
"While we are pleased with this progress, today was just a down payment and it is now time to go even further and pass the final and more complete, clean disaster aid bill," they add.

Prince of power: Fielder's clout earns him MVP
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
The Home Run Derby captain who dismayed D-backs fans by not placing hometown favorite Justin Upton on the NL team for Monday's long ball exhibition endured jeers and boos because of his decision, but he won the fans over with his long blast to left-center field on Tuesday night.
"Yeah, I don't know if I transformed [the fans], but I understood," said Fielder, who chose teammate Rickie Weeks and Dodgers slugger Matt Kemp to the NL Derby team over Upton. "I didn't take it too personal. I mean, I probably would have booed myself, too, if I was an Arizona fan. That just shows you how much Justin means to them."
Fielder became the first Brewers player to hit an All-Star Game homer and attain MVP status, which is quite an accomplishment, considering that the franchise was born in 1969 as the Seattle Pilots and moved to Milwaukee a year later. The short list of great Brewers players includes a pair of Hall of Famers: Robin Yount and Paul Molitor, who both amassed more than 3,000 hits but never attained this particular honor.Fielder's blast came off the Rangers' C.J. Wilson -- lefty hitter off left-handed pitcher -- and erased a 1-0 AL lead. "That's what good players do," Upton said about Fielder. "He wore it from our fans all week. I don't know if that was warranted or not. That's for everybody else to really decide. But he stepped up." Fielder has also done all of this in his walk year, heading toward free agency. He enters the second half of the season leading the NL with 72 RBIs and is second in homers behind Kemp with 22. The Brewers are in contention to win the NL Central for the first time and at 49-43 are tied with the Cardinals for first place, a game ahead of the Pirates and four in front of the Reds. Fielder said he hasn't felt the requisite pressure that free agency usually brings because the Brewers are such a potent team. "Whenever you have a good team, at least I feel like nobody has a bad year on that team," Fielder said. "When you're focused on winning and your team is winning, the personal achievements will come. But if you're not winning, it's that much harder. This year, I wanted to go in with the focus of winning because we have the best team I've been on so far. I went in focusing on that." Fielder, of course, is a core Brewer player. He was taken by Milwaukee with the seventh pick of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft and has played almost seven seasons in Milwaukee, having led the NL with 50 homers in 2007 and 141 RBIs two years later. He's on track to hit 40 or more homers for the third time and surpass the 100-RBI mark for the fourth time. Fielder's future in Milwaukee is uncertain, with most pundits speculating that the Brewers will not be able to re-sign him.
"I think it's going to be very emotional," Fielder said. "Last year, I was guaranteed for one more season and I had no choice about coming back. Still, my last at-bat in Milwaukee was emotional, so I can't imagine what it will be like this year with me not signed for next season."That, of course, is months away. Getting back to the matter at hand, Fielder became the sixth player to win a Home Run Derby and later capture an All-Star Game MVP. He won the Derby two years ago in St. Louis and was thus named captain this year under a new format in which that captain chooses the other three players swinging for his league. As it turned out, the Upton snub may have been costly. The NL was out-homered by the AL, 76-19, on Monday and Fielder was the only NL hitter to make it to the second round. He hit nine in all. Robinson Cano of the Yankees won it with 32, including 12 in the final round. Almost every time Fielder and Weeks came to the plate on Monday, they were booed by the Chase Field fans, and that continued into the pregame introductions on Tuesday. Only after Fielder homered in the game did all that turn around. Asked if he might have done it differently, considering all the trouble, and simply picked Upton, Fielder said, "Absolutely not." Just like in the fourth inning on Tuesday night, Fielder stood his ground.

This lost is on Casey. Raps didn't lose this game because of their defence or offence or even *gulp* the play of Bargnani(he was actually pretty good tonight). Casey's substitution/rotation is just terrible. I don't really know what he's doing.
I mean, Raptors had a pretty good 1st quarter. Then in the 2nd he put together a lineup of: Amir, Davis, Kleiza, Ross and Lucas. Who the fuck would score? why would you put a bunch of non scorers on the floor at the same time?
Casey's rotation this year is garbage. Bargnani or DeRozan or Lowry(when he's healthy) has got to be on the floor all time.

From sponsored child to English teacher
The desire to write back to her World Vision sponsor helped inspire Sangla to learn English. Today, she has become an English teacher in Thailand.
* * *
This afternoon, students in grade 3 will meet their new English teacher. Every student waits with anticipation to see what the new teacher is like.
At once, the class — noisy and disorderly like sparrows — becomes quiet. The sounds of shoes on the ground grow louder and louder, and then the new teacher arrives.
She is younger than all the female teachers in the school. Like any other teacher, she wears a scout uniform— a khaki short-sleeve shirt with a pink and blue scarf and a khaki knee-length skirt.
"Good afternoon. I'm your new English teacher. My name is Sangla Nantheppong. You can call me Teacher La." She turns around and picks up a piece of chalk and writes her name on the blackboard. The children smile with excitement.
* * *
Sangla remembers the first time she received a letter written in English from her sponsor. And every year, she received a Christmas card from her sponsor. She remembers well every word written in them. She wanted to write back to her sponsor and thank her for her care and kindness, but she could not write or read English. She had to ask the project staff to help translate the letters for her.
She made a vow that one day she would write a letter in English by herself.
But there were barriers to achieving that dream.
Sangla's father, Sukam, and her mother, Chansuay, were farm laborers in Thailand. Her father had been jobless for a long time. They earned around US$3.50 a day, which was not enough for their family of four. Poverty and debts caused the family to argue often. Sangla's sister, who is six years older than her, had to leave school after completing grade 6.
Every night, Sangla had bad dreams because she was afraid that she might have to leave school like her sister. She cried and could not stop crying. She loved going to school every day.
Sangla wanted to share her family's burden, so she tried to earn some money for her school supplies by helping to make bread in a shop near her home. She earned around US$3 a week.
Then Sangla joined World Vision's child sponsorship program when she was in primary school. Besides receiving school uniforms, shoes, and school supplies, she and her family also attended a camp organized by the project every year, which helped with the family tensions.
Sangla was happier when family friction lessened. This is what the project hopes to see throughout the community: harmony and warmth in families.
Sangla's school grades were consistently good, and she was an example to younger children in her community. More importantly, the vow she made came to pass, and she learned to write to her sponsor.
"I like English, because I like to read and write to my sponsor," Sangla says. "I'm very happy to know that there is someone who cares for me."
Because of World Vision's support, Sangla attended school every day and went on to complete her Bachelor of Arts degree in English at Naresuan University in north-central Thailand.
"If I don't have knowledge, I will not be able to achieve anything successful. Having an education is very important. It enhances our skills and provides us with opportunities," Sangla says.
The child sponsorship program brought transformation into her life by empowering her. Today, her love for the English language is creating a new generation of English teachers, as Sangla now teaches English to 185 students in grade 3 in Manit Wittaya School, a private school in Chiang Rai, in northern Thailand.
"I have dreamed of teaching English ever since I was a child, and it has come true." Sangla laughs. "Being a teacher is tiring, but it is fun. I like children, because they are innocent. They want to learn many subjects from teachers who care and love them."

Lowry was the first one in the locker room and quickly out of the building didn't say anything refused any post game comments. Trouble? Unhappy? I wonder what's going on?
Twitter I duuno how to embed tweets though it is link you
uh oh.. hope this doesnt turn into TJ Ford/Calderon all over again
Ya, im puzzled as to why lowry hasnt started//given more minutes.
All will be forgiven cause the recent play has got to have a lot of teams interested in Calderon right now with, Especially with BC pushing for the potential Rudy Gay deal, if Calderon continues to play stellar its less we have to give up in whatever deal BC is cooking up and better believe there are deals coming.
Hopefully Lowry isn't too discouraged though..
I remember there was a thread here a week or so go about Turner being better than DeRozan. After watching this game, do you guys still think Turner is better than DeMar
DeMar is the 2nd best SG in the East. The only guys that you can make an argument with being better than him is JR Smith and Monta Ellis.
I noticed Lowry left for the locker room early as well. I feel he should have been given the chance to finish the game. He only played 17 minutes, and he's arguably the best player on the team
This game it really showed, but I have been thinking it a lot lately. DD seems to be able to score with very little effort. Not too many nights anymore where he shoots too much. He can get around opponents and make nice plays at the basket. I wonder why he doesn't do it more often?
Of course, other teams defences vary, some better than others. But it seems like his body can do more now than his own mind gives him credit for. I think his skill set exceeds his basketball in-game thinking. Which makes me think he hasn't topped out yet. With additional experience, better play and use of his new skill set will improve.
anyone else happy theres no more 2 pg's lineups?

Tech CU Awarded $494,902 in Dispute With Ex-CEO Ken Burns
Outgoing Patelco Credit Union President/CEO Ken Burns was ordered to pay nearly a half million dollars to a former employer to settle Technology Credit Union's claims against him, claims that include self-dealing and breaching loyalty.
Tech CU, according to final arbitration award documents from 2011 obtained by Credit Union Times, said then-CEO Burns had applied for the Patelco job – which he got in 2009 – while simultaneously, unbeknownst to the Tech CU board, he became involved in efforts to merge the two credit unions. That bid ultimately failed.
The $1.7 billion Tech CU – a San Jose-based institution that itself last year failed in its bid to become a bank – also accused Burns of taking confidential strategic documents with him when he moved over to the $3.9 billion Patelco in Pleasanton, Calif.
The arbitrator awarded Technology $466,277 in damages and an additional $28,625 in legal fees, both to be paid by Burns, according to the documents filed with the American Arbitration Association Employment Arbitration Tribunal.
However, arbitrator Dana Welch did not award TCU any punitive damages, saying in the June 15, 2011 decision, that "while Burns' breaches were egregious, they do not rise to the level of malice necessary to award punitive damages."
Burns recently announced he would be leaving Patelco this summer, citing his desire to seek new challenges.
According to the arbitration documents, the dispute with Tech CU began in 2008 when Burns was contacted by executive search firm O'Rourke, Mitchell & Associates, asking if he would be interested in the Patelco CEO job.
During initial discussions regarding the Patelco position, Managing Director Gene O'Rourke and Burns first discussed a merger between the two credit unions.
Burns approached TCU Chairman Mical Brenzel in November 2008 regarding the merger, but did not mention he had applied for Patelco's CEO position, according to the arbitration documents.
Burns also signed a non-disclosure agreement with Patelco that permitted the exchange of information; however, Burns did not tell anyone at TCU about the agreement, the arbitration documents said. Further, email communications between Burns and O'Rourke indicate the two discussed keeping the employment negotiations from the TCU board.
O'Rourke told Credit Union Times on Wednesday that Burns made the decision to keep the information from his board. Further, O'Rourke said he thinks Patelco had initially made the merger a priority over hiring Burns; however, Patelco was struggling financially in late 2008 after assuming the assets of troubled credit unions Cal State 9 and Sterlent, and O'Rourke said the NCUA was pressuring Patelco to select a CEO quickly.
"So where the merger was the horse pulling the cart, in late January (2009) the regulatory pressure got intense, and I think this turned Patelco's thinking, saying maybe what we should do is pin down the leadership transition problem that is causing all this angst with the regulator," O'Rourke said. "Let's reverse course, grab Ken, and then continue with the merger."
Formal merger discussions kicked off in February 2009, after Burns had received a job offer from Patelco in late January, the arbitration documents said. The merger negotiations included an agreement that Burns would be the CEO of the combined credit union; however, at the time, Brenzel had no idea Patelco had already made Burns an offer, which included a $100,000 bonus for the successful completion of the merger and a 2.8% mortgage, the documents said.
It wasn't until April 13, 2009, when Burns submitted his resignation, that the TCU board would learn about the offer.
After conducting additional due diligence without Burns, who had left TCU April 27, TCU terminated merger discussions. In her letter, Brenzel cited the potential erosion of TCU member capital, the failure of Patelco to adequately recognize loan losses, and the situation with Burns.
The arbitrator determined that Burns violated his fiduciary duty by breaching the duty of loyalty, duty of confidence, and engaging in self-dealing, the documents said.
He was also found to be liable for unfair competition, as well as fraudulent concealment for failing to disclose that he was seeking the Patelco CEO position during merger negotiations.
Finally, Burns was also determined to have "misappropriated TCU's Three-Year Strategic Plan", considered a trade secret, when he took the document with him to Patelco, the documents said.
The award required Burns to return the strategic plan and pay $466,277 in damages to compensate TCU for the costs from the aborted merger ($50,775), the cost of an executive compensation survey initiated by TCU that Burns used to negotiate his Patelco salary ($752), costs to recruit and compensate new CEO Barbara Kamm ($146,927), disgorgement of Burn's salary and bonus from October 2008 through April 2009 ($230,432) and disgorgement of Burns' 2009 paid time off ($37,390).
TCU filed a suit in San Francisco County Superior Court in July 2011 to enforce the award, but filed to dismiss the case in August, indicating it no longer needed the court's help in seeking payment of the claim against Burns.
Tech CU, Patelco CU and Burns all declined to comment.


text: Because they lost power to the water cooling system, they needed to vent the pressure that's building up inside.My suspicion is that as the temperature inside the reactor was rising, some of the metal cans that surround the fuel may have burst and at high temperature, that fuel cladding can react with water to produce zirconium oxide and hydrogen.That hydrogen then will be part of the gases that need to be vented. That hydrogen then mixes with the surrounding air. Hydrogen and oxygen can then recombine explosively. So it seems while the explosion wasn't directly connected with the nuclear processes, it was indirectly connected, because the hydrogen was only present because of what was going on in the reactor core.

This study is provided by Resource Center for Minority Data (RCMD).
Current Population Survey, 2005: Unemployment Insurance (UI) Non-Filers Supplement (ICPSR 4689)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census; United States Department of Labor. Bureau of Labor Statistics
This data collection is comprised of data from the January, May, July, and November iterations of the 2005 Current Population Survey (CPS). In each of these months, two sets of questions were administered: the basic CPS questions, and a supplemental survey questionnaire on the topics of unemployment insurance and unemployment compensation. The supplement interviews were conducted in two rotations of four separate months (January, May, July, and November) in 2005 then merged into one dataset.
The CPS, administered monthly, is a labor force survey providing current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States. Specifically, the CPS provides estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment. Data from the CPS are provided for the week prior to the survey.
The supplement was designed for proxy responses, meaning a single respondent could provide answers for all eligible household members, provided the respondent was a household member and met the sampling universe criteria. The supplement was asked of persons in the labor force aged 16 years and older, who met one of the following specific labor force conditions: (1) unemployed individual on layoff, (2) unemployed job seeker who worked in the last 12 months, (3) unemployed job seeker who last worked more than 12 months ago, (4) unemployed job seeker who worked before beginning to search for a job, but responded with "refuse," "don't know," or "blank" to the CPS labor force item of when last worked, and (5) individual not currently classified as unemployed but has not worked in the last 12 months. If any person in a household was eligible for the supplement, then the entire household was included in the dataset.
The supplement contained person-level questions structured to determine whether or not an individual had applied for unemployment compensation. Individuals who had applied for compensation were asked if they had received the compensation. If they had not received any compensation, then the individuals were asked why they had not received the compensation. Data are also provided on the number of unemployed persons. Demographic variables include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income.

Geographic Coverage: United States
- 2005
- 2005 (January, May, July, and November)
Unit of Observation: individuals within housing units
Universe: The basic CPS universe consists of all households in the civilian noninstitutional population of the United States. The supplement universe was civilian non-institutional population, age 16 and older, who had completed the CPS labor force interview and met specific conditions related to being unemployed, and whose month-in-sample was four or eight. If the household had any person eligible for the supplement, then the entire household was included in the dataset.
Users are strongly encouraged to refer to the User Guide (produced by the Principal Investigators), which contains not only information about the basic CPS survey, but also detailed technical documentation specific to the supplement. In particular, Attachment 8 of the User Guide contains the supplement questionnaire.
The universe statements for each variable are defined in either the basic or supplement record layout, which are located in Attachments 6 and 7, respectively, of the User Guide.
ICPSR removed all FILLER and PADDING variables from the data. As a result, the column locations in any ICPSR-released data product (e.g., codebook and setup files) will have column locations that are not consistent with locations described in the User Guide.
Sample: A multistage probability sample was selected to represent the universe of approximately 56,000 households per month. Approximately 73,000, 72,000, 71,000, and 71,000 housing units were selected for sample from the mixed sampling frame in January, May, July, and November 2005, respectively. Based on eligibility criteria, 11 percent of these housing units were sent directly to computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI). The remaining units were assigned to interviewers for computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI). Of all the housing units in the sample, about 61,000 were determined to be eligible for interview in January, and 60,000 in each of the other three months. Interviewers obtained interviews at about 56,000 of these units in January, and 55,000 in each of the other three months.
Weight: The data contain one weight variable (PWSUPWGT) which is to be used for tallying records in the file. Users are strongly encouraged to refer to the User Guide for additional information on the weight was derived.
Mode of Data Collection: computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI), computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI)

Acanthosis nigricans is a skin disorder in which there is darker, thick, velvety skin in body folds and creases.
Acanthosis nigricans can affect otherwise healthy people, or it can be related to medical problems. Some cases are genetically inherited. The condition is most commonly seen among people of African descent, in part because it is easier to see in darker skin.
Obesity can lead to acanthosis nigricans, as can some endocrine disorders. It is often found in people with obesity-related insulin resistance.
Some medicines, particularly hormones such as human growth hormone or birth control pills, can also cause acanthosis nigricans.
People with lymphoma or cancers of the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tracts can also develop severe cases of acanthosis nigricans.
Acanthosis nigricans usually appears slowly and doesn't cause any symptoms other than skin changes.
Eventually, dark, velvety skin with very visible markings and creases appears in the armpits, groin and neck folds, and over the joints of the fingers and toes.
Less commonly, the lips, palms, soles of the feet, or other areas may be affected. These symptoms are more common in people with cancer.
Your health care provider can usually diagnose acanthosis nigricans by looking at your skin. A skin biopsy may be needed in unusual cases.
If there is no clear cause of acanthosis nigricans, your doctor may order tests. This may include:
Because acanthosis nigricans usually only changes the skin's appearance, no treatment is needed.
It is important, however, to treat any underlying medical problem that may be causing these skin changes. When acanthosis nigricans is related to obesity, losing weight often improves the condition.
Acanthosis nigricans often fades if the cause can be found and treated.
Call your health care provider if you develop areas of thick, dark, velvety skin.

text: An effective and efficient means to practice sight-reading on a regular basis without having to retrieve music from the library, hand the music out to the band, collect it after rehearsal, reassemble the music in score order, and file it back in the library. Available in three volumes, each book provides one hundred short pieces (average length is 25 measures with a total of approximately ten hours of sight-reading practice) and saves valuable rehearsal time. For effective rehearsal planning, an index is provided in the score with key signatures, meters, and primary rhythmic figures to provide assistance in creating lesson plans. The music is arranged in a flexible manner so that it can be adapted to a wide range of ensemble sizes with varying instrumentation. The exercises feature various key signatures and meters, key changes, meter changes, accidentals, reversal of rhythms, repeats of various types, hemiola, and isolation of various sections of the ensemble. Books 1 and 3 are Easy to Medium Easy and Book 2 is Medium Easy to Medium in difficulty. The books can be rotated in use so there is always new material for students to read. An invaluable tool for the efficient preparation for sight-reading contests, allowing many opportunities to sight-read in class using the least amount of time possible!

It's funny people are saying Kakashi's stupid for not using chidori inside Kamui. It will kill the plot. Rin's death should be uncovered and Kakashi and Obito exchange dramatic moments cannot be discarded. Also you should consider Obito transforming into a good guy and helping out in beating Madara's ass once and for all. We'll never know.
Soooo stop saying Kakashi's stupid. Enjoy the moment. Liver blow and hook in the face is enough for now.

Gcmc is a front-end language for generating G-code, SVG, and DXF for CNC mills, lathes, laser cutters, and other numerically controlled machines employing G-code, SVG, or DXF. The language is a context-free grammar created to overcome the archaic format of G-code programming, but can be used more generally for many targets. Gcmc aims to be more readable and understandable than G-code and enable programmatic designing. Gcmc makes extensive use of vector mathematics to support the 3D nature of CNC machining. It handles units as millimeters, mils (inch), degrees, and radians and performs automatic conversions where necessary.
foma is a compiler, programming language, and C library for constructing finite-state automata and transducers for various uses. It has specific support for many natural language processing applications such as producing morphological analyzers. Although NLP applications are probably the main use of foma, it is sufficiently generic to use for a large number of purposes. It comes with an xfst-compatible interface and regular expression language. The library contains efficient implementations of all classical automata/transducer algorithms: determinization, minimization, epsilon-removal, composition, and boolean operations. More advanced construction methods are also available: context restriction, quotients, first-order regular logic, transducers from replacement rules, etc.

The GNU Modula-2 compiler is one of a number of front end languages to GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection). As such, it has been designed to coexist with other GCC languages. For example, it can be used in mixed language projects and it can catch C++ exceptions and throw exceptions which can be caught by C++. Users can also exploit conditional compilation and full gcc backend optimization and architecture coverage. GNU Modula-2 can produce position independent code and can easily produce shared libraries from modules. The compiler provides a swig interface file generator option, which allows scripting languages such as Python to import modules written in Modula-2 and also catch exceptions thrown by Modula-2. The compiler translates PIM2, PIM3, PIM4, and ISO dialects of Modula-2.

Good coach, arguably the greatest coach in Raptors history(i still think it's Lenny). Very underrated. Not a big fan when he got fired because the Raps that time i believe had a .500 record or maybe just a couple of games under .500. I know the "expectations" that year was to make the playoffs but the Raptors i thought got worse under Triano. And i don't think they made the playoffs that year.
But anyway, this is not a "bring back Sam" thread lol. Mitchell is now an analyst for NBA TV and for TSN March Madness. And i think he's done a great job, i think he's a great analyst, he tells it like it is. Still looks weird seeing him on TSN along with Jack Armstrong talking hoops lol. Anyhow, i hope we see more of Sam Mitchell as an analyst this time for the Raptors on TSN in the future.

Word is, Derozan was the leading scorer for USA's Select team... Jay Triano is the coach. Hmmmmm. Just thought that was interesting.

DeMar dropped 46 ...... No defense, but his handles are not as bad as I thought. In transition, he is deadly. Casey, let 'em run.

Is it just me, or is he looking awfully "Iguodala-ish" with them GUNS. Dude looks Ripped!
Can't wait to watch the vids after work. Thanks for posting guys.
I barley got through 3 minutes of watching that Drew League crap. That was not basketball, I have seen better energy and intensity in a 40 plus men's league. Playing ball like that does improve your game at all, it just reinforces bad habits and gives a player a false sense of ability. Putting uniforms on these guys and calling it a league is a scam, they may as well have been going shirts and skins.
"The Drew League's goal was to help young people form meaningful relationships on the court that would spill over into the neighborhood, as well as build an institution that would bring top local high school, college, and pro players back to the community. -DrewLeague.com"
It's sole purpose is to entertain a crowd and bring people together in a positive, light-hearted environment.
Not sure if you're aware, but South Central LA is a pretty rough area.
Anything that offers these kids a sense of community and a 'way out'; or a GLIMPSE of it anyway, is a good thing in my books.
While I agree that you will not find alot of "Fundamentals" in these games; I think its great for Young, Inner-City kids to get a look at some VERY good ball players, who happened to come out of the same tough circumstanced that they did.
Not to mention, these games are great for Cardio/Endurance training.

If you're hittin open Jumpers all day at Drew League, I don't see how this doesn't offer some translation to NBA.
Hitting an open Jumper is hitting an open Jumper, is hitting an open Jumper. Whether you do it in Practice, in a Game, or in a Pick-Up game.
Nailing a tough, contested Lay-up is still nailing a tough, contested lay-up.
Yes, the level of defense is different, but one could argue the level of defense is different even at Practice. It's all about how seriously YOU take the game with which you are playing in. Demar seems to take it seriously, and uses it as a time to brush up on his Jumper. Not a bad idea. Rather him hit jumpers against these guys, then by himself in the gym somewhere.

Let's also not take away the fact that Demar individually actually spent much time working on his game. Playing/practicing and earning experience on the USA Select Team, rumour is being the top scorer. Working out as well in Italy, Las Vegas, and LA.
Drew League for Demar could build confidence, and brush any rust off for him, because players do tend to come into training camp not holding a basketball for a couple weeks. I've never been against Drew League, he's participated in it every year he's been in the league, and has improved a part of his game every single year. Not to say Drew League was the reason, also not to say it wasn't.
Demar is still very raw, and came into the league with sub-par skill and very good athleticism. He's got A LOT of growing room left.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
The point is, is that this League isn't supposed to be High Competition, In-your-face Defense, Super Intense etc.
That sort of thing gets people killed round those parts!
Its supposed to be fun, up and down, strut-your-stuff BBall.
You can't expect NBA-level Defense when half the guys playing in it, aren't NBA-Level.
And while its not my favourite style of basketball to watch, I'll support it for what it stands for and what it means to the community. Who knows, maybe Demar and BJennings wouldn't be in the NBA today if it weren't for Drew League.
You guys should have watched the 2nd quarter, when Demar went HAM.
I also like the effort that he was giving on both ends, especially when the game got a bit serious in the 4th quarter.
It's also not bad that he gets to practice 1 on 1 moves, since his team did not run any plays at all.
I dont create controversies. Theyre there long before I open my mouth. I just bring them to your attention.

Obviously summer league games arent the best way to analyze a player and his true abilities but you can still get a feel of a player and what they are capable of doing. Check out NBA rising star DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors showing off his improved game during the LA Drew League semi-finals and championship games. DeMar seems to have tightened up his handle a bit and worked on his shot.
Has anyone seen this: http://blip.tv/ballislife/demar-dero...finals-6316143
He looks like he is ready for the contact and the open looks
I know it's just the LA Drew League, but I do see some sort of improvement in his game. There seems to be more consistency in his three point shot. One more thing that I found funny, at 0:36, did he just attempt the infamous Dirk fadeaway with the leg out?
P.S. Mods feel free moving this to the "Everything DeChosen" thread if you want...
I felt he improved too. Drew League isn't exactly NBA competition, but it's a place where you can find spots of improvement.
Demar's handles look nice, his jump-shot is looking confident and better, and he has certainly gotten bigger. I really hope this translates into a game.
I'd rather see him trying to create shot and the one dribble, kobe fake and pass....
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
thanks for this update! He looks much more solid, and i'm glad he's been working on his jump shot. I still have hope for Demar and I love that he's a gym rat. only good things can come when Kobe is your idol and mentor.
Some more amateur competition for DeMar

Story highlights
- Delegates are resolved to champion their message on or off the convention floor
- While they awaited shortened schedule, delegates attended parties and other events
- Delegates are aware that the compact convention schedule will streamline GOP message
Republican National Convention delegates remained undaunted on Monday with Tropical Storm Isaac washing out big opening day festivities.
But some events, meetings, and networking opportunities around the convention went on as scheduled, despite gusty winds, light rain and a darkening forecast for Gulf Coast areas now in the path of the giant storm.
The delegation from Ohio still had their breakfast with party luminaries who included Sen. Rob Portman, previously vetted for the No. 2 spot on the ticket, and Craig Romney, one of Mitt Romney's sons.
"We are conducting ourselves as if we're at the convention and prepared to trumpet our message to the American people even though we're not on the convention floor," said Clarence Mingo, an Ohio delegate and first-time convention attendee.
GOP officials were forced to scrap Monday's main events due to Isaac, which passed west of Tampa but churned through the Gulf of Mexico during the day. It was predicted to strengthen into a hurricane taking aim at the northern coast.
Republican Party officials instead will squeeze the program into three days, starting Tuesday with the lengthy roster of speakers largely intact.
Isaac also caused transportation problems for Republicans trying to get to Tampa. Delegates whose flights were delayed arrived weather-worn but prepared for a possible storm and for the pending parties.
"I packed a flashlight! Never done that before," Cyndy Aafedt of North Dakota told CNN. "I even went and bought batteries before I came."
Sunday night, many delegates imbibed at a party at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, home of baseball's Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Others attended a beach party hosted by U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.
Iraq War veteran and Kentucky delegate Mark Metcalf, who has attended a number of previous conventions, said he was inspired despite the lousy weather.
"I'll take a bad day in the U.S. versus a good day anyplace else. The phrase the 'American way of life' is not empty. It means something," he said.
Although there were no big speakers, delegates packed in a full day of activities with meetings, working luncheons and plenty of networking.
"I'm definitely looking to see what other organizations are hosting events," said Orit Sklar from the Georgia delegation who is looking forward to attending panel discussions and roundtables.
She planned to attend "Nuestro Noche," an event focused on Latino issues.
"It's been a great opportunity to learn and see how the American political process plays out on the highest levels," said Mingo, who is also an auditor for Franklin County, Ohio. "The enthusiasm has served to sustain any amount of energy loss I might have had."
Still, the delegates are aware that the shortened schedule means their message will have to be streamlined. Mingo and fellow Ohio delegates have tried to talk up Republican Party values wherever they go — even while shopping.
"Going forward we must have a compact message with a great a lot of force," Mingo said. We don't need a tropical storm message, we need a hurricane message."

As you view the list of names, please understand that there may be more than one way to spell each one. This is because there is not a direct transliteration from the Gurmukhi* alphabet to the English alphabet. (Note: Most of these spiritual names are from the Gurbani** language.)
The emphasis of your spiritual name is on how it is pronounced, so it is important to use the correct naad (sound current), when speaking your name, and when teaching others how to pronounce it. Whatever spelling makes the most sense to YOU, and helps you and other people to pronounce your name correctly, is the best spelling to use. We have suggested a common way to spell your spiritual name, but remember, the most important thing is the correct pronunciation.
Please listen carefully to the sound byte (pronunciation) of your spiritual name. Start pronouncing your name slowly, feel it, and let it resonate within you.
Note that most of these spiritual names can be used by either a male or a female (Singh or Kaur), except as indicated. The few names that can only be used for one gender or the other are indicated by having Singh or Kaur added to them in this list.
*Gurmukhi is the alphabet of the sacred language of the Sikhs
** Gurbani is the sacred language of the Sikhs
