Dengue fever (pronounced UK: /ˈdɛŋɡeɪ/, US: /ˈdɛŋɡiː/) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are acute febrile diseases, found in the tropics, and caused by four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae. It is also known as breakbone fever. The geographical spread includes northern Australia, northern Argentina, and the entire Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Honduras, Costa Rica, Philippines, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mexico, Suriname, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Bolivia, Brazil, Guyana, Venezuela, Barbados, Trinidad and Samoa. Unlike malaria, dengue is just as prevalent in the urban districts of its range as in rural areas. Each serotype is sufficiently different that there is no cross-protection and epidemics caused by multiple serotypes (hyperendemicity) can occur. Dengue is transmitted to humans by the Aedes aegypti or more rarely the Aedes albopictus mosquito, which feed during the day.
The WHO says some 2.5 billion people, two fifths of the world's population, are now at risk from dengue and estimates that there may be 50 million cases of dengue infection worldwide every year. The disease is now epidemic in more than 100 countries.

As an interim president took office at Palo Alto's Sofia University this week, students demonstrating outside the school demanded replacement of the three-member board that hired him and a return to the institution's founding principles.
Students said they were committed to the school's mission of the study of psychology in the holistic style known as "transpersonal," which incorporates things like mindfulness and meditation, but are concerned about their futures following the abrupt firing last month of 12 administrators and senior faculty members.
Psychologist and author Fred Luskin, who was among those fired, said he would continue to teach this quarter even if he doesn't get paid because "this is a lovely band of students, committed to being a little different and marching to their own drum, which has created an atmosphere of cordiality."
Luskin, a researcher and writer on forgiveness, ran Sofia's review program for research ethics and taught clinical assessment and research design. The author of "Forgive for Good" and other self-help books, Luskin also co-founded the Stanford Forgiveness Project and teaches classes there on happiness, emotional intelligence, meditation and forgiveness.
Sofia's Interim President Frank Ellsworth said Monday he had reviewed the school's finances and "our numbers are solid.
"The operating budget should reflect a break-even for this fiscal year," said Ellsworth, who was president of Pitzer College from 1979 to 1991, in an emailed statement.
But students said the school would not be the same after the loss of key faculty members fired Dec. 19 by departing president Neal King. Besides Luskin, others fired included the school's cofounder, psychologist Robert Frager.
The students are seeking the resignation of current board members, all but three of whom resigned in the past month, and a slate of new leadership proposed by longtime faculty members.
"Some of the people they let go have been people who inspired me the most," said student Kevin Pinjuv, who came to Sofia in 2011 as a doctoral candidate after earning a political science degree from Vassar College and working in Washington, D.C.
"People are losing their advisers, their dissertation chairs, their major professors. It's been very dramatic and messy and heartbreaking."
Sofia, which until two years ago was called the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, is a 38-year-old nonprofit institution accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. It reports a full-time-equivalent enrollment of 526 and offers on-campus as well as online degrees in psychology, with a bent toward the discipline's spiritual, emotional and creative aspects.
After King's arrival as president in 2011, the school changed its name from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology to Sofia University and said it would add an undergraduate program.
But discontent emerged this past fall after King announced one 10 percent, across-the-board salary cut and then another. Seven out of 10 trustees resigned, King himself resigned and Frager said he had filed a complaint with the California Attorney General's Office.
Besides losing faculty members, students said the firing of the school's clinical coordinator, who set up internships with local mental health agencies, would hurt their programs.
Pinjuv, for example, has worked at Momentum for Mental Health in San Jose and at Sofia's own counseling center, the Community Center for Health and Wellness. Others said they had worked at counseling centers overseen by the Salvation Army and by Family and Children Services of Silicon Valley.
Doctoral student Maytal Shalev said she moved here from Israel to attend Sofia because of its alternative approach to the study of psychology. Shalev, who holds undergraduate degrees from Tel Aviv University, said she could have continued there to get licensed but came to Sofia because it aligned with her "authentic belief system.
"I've made a big investment to be here, and that's one of my big concerns," she said.
Doctoral student Susan Pearson, a former massage therapist in Chicago with a degree in history from Northwestern University, said she chose Sofia specifically for its transpersonal focus and is concerned about the loss of faculty.
"There's been a lot of discussion around whether it would be worthwhile to boycott the school, but I don't think it's in the students' interest and it doesn't seem to be in the interest of the school either," Pearson said.
"We believe in the qualities of the school, in the idea of transpersonal education. It's not just about receiving a degree; it's about being around people with a common point of view that includes a very inclusive and welcoming atmosphere."
Ellsworth, the new president, said he would establish a task force made up of students, faculty and staff to address the school's finances, and a second task force to address strategy and planning.
"I have spoken with multiple students, faculty and staff in person, who have all voiced their concerns, and it is my hope that by implementing these task force measures Sofia can move forward into a positive and sustainable future," Ellsworth said in the emailed statement.

Hi everyone,The following code:
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
echo TIMEDIFF('2013-07-12 10:00:00','2013-07-11 10:00:00');
Raises the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function TIMEDIFF() in
Any Idea what is wrong with how I use "TIMEDIFF" ?Thanks
Hi deotpit,
There is no function TIMEDIFF in PHP, I expect the function you want is date_diff.
I might be confusing it with mysql "TIMEDIFF".In that case, how do i calculate time differenes using PHP? If I want to show the difference in hours between 2013-07-26 10:00:00 and 2013-07-26 10:30:00, how do I do it?Thanks
Check the answer to this question on Stack Overflow, it gives an example of how to get the difference between two dates/times.
OK, I got it. not what I expected (I'm used to SQLServer) but it seems I can go on from this point.
It was also the second result in google for a search for "time difference php".
deotpit: is it really that hard to use google?
I know where you're coming from, probably 90% of the questions that get asked here on the forum could be answered by searching google, but we can't just answer 'google it' all the time or it'd be a pretty empty forum.
I found answers in "sitepoint" forums more satisfactory then those at "Stack overflow"...
There was also the second result in Google for a search for "time difference php".
Check your MySQL database..
Just to follow up a bit on what @AdMx said.
The other responders showed you how to calculate a time difference using php functions. Which is perfectly understandable give that this is a php forum. However, if you want your database to do the calculations then just make a select statement and execute it.
$sql = "SELECT TIMEDIFF('2013-07-12 10:00:00','2013-07-11 10:00:00');";
By doing this you can calc the difference between two datetimes columns without having to query the column values and then convert to php's format. Of course these sort of functions tend to be database specific so it can limit flexibility.
He didn't say much My problem is solved whereby another post where fertburner suggested to change column type to "TIME". Only then the code you posted worked.It turned out to be a MySql problem but I didn't recognize it at the beginning. I've been doing MySql for 2/3 days only. Before that I was working with SQLServer where I didn't have to distinguish between t_sql and SQL. Now I'll have know to where HTML extends, PHP, MySQL not mentioning CSS Javascript and much more.. Knowing which forum to ask a question is a skill for itself.
It's also slower to do statements like this in mysql, because mysql will not use it's query cache when you're using time and date functions in select statements.
you can use
$datetime1 = date_create('2013-07-12 10:00:00');
$datetime2 = date_create('2013-07-11 10:00:00');
$interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');
Thanks a lot brainworkinindia. That is very helpful. Ofcourse i'll need to change the format definition to get it in time.
Interesting. The mysql manual seems to disagree: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/query-cache-operation.html
I'd be a bit surprised to find out that querying to datetime values and then computing the difference in php is faster then doing it in mysql.
However, I'd be completely shocked to find out their either approach would make a bit of difference at the application level.
Ah, actually you're right
There are plenty of date related functions that will have this impact though: CURDATE() CURRENT_DATE() CURRENT_TIME()CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() CURTIME() NOW() UNIX_TIMESTAMP() with no parameters
Worth knowing

RIOT-20 Black Leather Boots
Reviewer: BMC
i ordered these boots in the size i normally wear and they fit perfectly, they are a pain to lace up though because the straps get in the way of the laces, after you lace them up they are fine, the zipper allows you to easily take them on and off, they can get a bit heavy after a long day

Cincinnati Reds 2, San Francisco Giants 1: Giants offense needs more shutouts from pitchers
For a second consecutive day, the best thing we can say about the Giants offense is "Hey, we didn't get shutout."
After throwing four consecutive shutouts earlier this week, the Giants needed shutouts Friday and against Saturday to win. They didn't get it in either.
Normally, when a pitcher shuts down the Giants offense, it's hard to totally credit the pitcher with that. Normally, the Giants help him out.
But as much as I'd like to avoid doing this, I'd have to give Mat Latos credit.
It was the fourth game that he did not walk a batter this season, although his 115-pitch outing was the most pitches he has thrown in a game without a walk.
But Latos is usually around the plate. He hasn't walked more than two in a game in his last eight outings.
He'd get ahead of the Giant hitters, then had them on their heals, as they rolled ground ball after ground ball to his infielders.
That is until Brandon Belt smacked a one-out triple in the ninth, leading to the Giants' only run.
So once again we find ourselves searching for silver linings.
- The Giants wasted a quality start from Barry Zito. Zito allowed only one run in six innings after miraculously avoiding the landmines he planted. Zito walked six out of eight batters during one stretch, including three in a row resulting in the Reds' first run.
- Belt had a nice at-bat to get that triple, one of the Giants' only two hits. Belt, who has been scuffling of late, did not start, but got his triple in a pinch-hitting role.
- The Giants still lead the NL West by one game as the Dodgers lost again, suffering their fifth shutout in six games. That's enough to put a smile on any Giants fans face. Even the Diamondbacks loss, staying four games back.
- Joey Votto left in the fifth inning with a sore knee. He figures to sit out Sunday's game.
- Brad Penny made his 2012 Giants debut out of the bullpen throwing 2 1/3 hitless innings. He retired all seven hitters he faced.
Ryan Vogelsong returns to the mound to face Bronson Arroyo in the series finale at 1:05 p.m. Sunday. The Giants look for a split of the series and a 5-2 homestand before heading East to conclude the first-half of the season.

In case you haven't heard, the Fallout franchise is now in good hands. Last week, Interplay sold
the Fallout intellectual property rights to Bethesda Softworks for $5.75
million, which is just pennies when taking into account the franchise's emotional
pull on PC gamers.
Word of this development was first spotted on the No Mutants
Allowed forum, along with the 8-K
government filing:
Under the APA, the Company sold all of its rights to the IP to Bethesda
for a total amount of $5,750,000.00 payable to the Company, subject to various
conditions, in three cash installments. The first installment of $2,000,000.00
was paid following closing when $200,000.00 was paid to the Company and
$1,800,000.00 was deposited into an escrow account to satisfy various
liabilities. The Company expects to have fulfilled its obligations under the
APA and to receive full payment during the third quarter of 2007. The Company
had previously, on June 29, 2004, entered into, an exclusive licensing
agreement with Bethesda, regarding the IP which was superseded by the APA.
The good news for Fallout
fans is that the series is gaining the stability it needs to survive to make it
to its second sequel. Interestingly enough, right after selling off the IP to
Bethesda, Interplay is licensing Fallout for rights to develop an Interplay-branded
Fallout MMO. Bethesda will receive
from Interplay 12 percent of sales, subscription fees and other revenues
generated by the upcoming MMO.
While this development may not have any huge effect on the
development of Fallout 3, it ensures
that we may see a fourth and fifth game should Bethesda (and the market) see

The Republican victory means the GOP will control the Arkansas Senate in 2013. Republicans laid claim to at least 18 of the chamber's 35 seats, giving the party an edge it last saw during a special session in 1874.
Arkansas was the last state in the old Confederacy to never have Republicans control a legislative chamber since the post-Civil War period.
State GOP Party Chairman Doyle Webb said Tuesday he believed the results showed that voters wanted a "viable two party system" in the state.
"They want a check and balance on the Democrat Party," Webb told The Associated Press. "By the end of the night, I think you'll see we've achieved a majority in the Arkansas House as well."
Democrats held a 53-46 majority in the House enteri! ng the election, but in races decided by late evening Tuesday showed Republicans with a 44-41 lead, with 14 races yet to be determined. Former Rep. Fred Smith of Crawfordsville is returning to the House as a member of the Green Party.
Also in the House, three Republican candidates whose racially charged writings surfaced this year lost out to their Democratic rivals.
Republican Rep. Jon Hubbard, who called slavery a "blessing in disguise" in a 2009 book, lost to Democratic challenger Harold Copenhaver, and Democratic Rep. James McLean beat out Republican Charlie Fuqua, a candidate and former House member from Batesville who advocated the deportation of all Muslims in a 2011 self-published book.
Rep. Loy Mauch, who called Abraham Lincoln a "war criminal" in one of a series of letters to a newspaper, also lost to Democrat David Kizzia.
Republican leaders distanced themselves from the remarks by Hubbard, Mauch and Fuqua and withdrew campaign funding, bu! t stopped short of asking the three to withdraw their candidacies. Dem ocratic Gov. Mike Beebe called the comments "embarrassing" but said he didn't believe they represented the state or Republicans.
Hubbard also wrote that African-Americans were better off than they would have been had they not been captured and shipped to the United States. Mauch said Jesus condoned slavery.
Fuqua, who served in the Arkansas House from 1996 to 1998, wrote there is "no solution to the Muslim problem short of expelling all followers of the religion from the United States," in his book, "God's Law."
Hubbard wrote in his self-published book, "Letters To The Editor: Confessions Of A Frustrated Conservative," that "the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise."
All three defended their writings to various media outlets and said critics had taken their comments out of context. Fuqua told The Associated Press that his remarks were "fairly wel! l-accepted by most people."
Former Harlem Globetrotter Fred Smith became the second Green Party candidate to be elected to the state Legislature Tuesday. Smith won the state House 50 race in east Arkansas after a judge Tuesday ordered votes not to be counted for his opponent, former Democratic Rep. Hudson Hallum, who had pleaded guilty to election fraud conspiracy. There was no Republican in the race.
Smith had given up the seat in 2011 after a theft conviction, but became eligible for the seat when his conviction was set aside.
Richard Carroll, another Green Party candidate, was elected to the state House in 2008 after Democrats refused to seat Dwayne Dobbins, a former lawmaker who resigned to avoid a felony sexual assault conviction.

Alessandro Matri's Milan return was met with uncertainty. Luca Cetta charts the path to his return and wonders where he fits in.
Adriano Galliani promised action post-PSV. A lean summer to that crucial Champions League play-off was filled mostly with talk surrounding Keisuke Honda and Adem Ljajic. The former remained in Russia, the latter chose Roma. Galliani urged fans to sit tight and wait until progression was confirmed. In customary fashion, the Vice-President left big moves until late in the window.
In adding to the squad, Galliani looked to the past. One player stole the headlines. The 2007 Ballon d'Or winner and Rossoneri favourite son Kaka was released from Real Madrid to ensure a smooth passage back to Milanello. Galliani was coy on whether he could land the Brazilian, but then he usually is. And so, Kaka returned amid much fanfare.
Before Kaka was another return, one met not with enthusiasm, but apprehension. Nine seasons after leaving the San Siro, with stops in Prato, Lumezzane, Rimini, Cagliari and Turin, Alessandro Matri wears the black and red again.
News of a potential move was met negatively during the PSV qualifier. A banner reading 'Matri, no thank you' was unfurled, amongst others. Fans perceived the signing as unnecessary given their attacking strength in comparison to that of the defence, highlighted during the opening round defeat at Verona.
Yet Massimiliano Allegri claimed the €11m move was required given Giampaolo Pazzini's knee injury. Galliani and Allegri deduced their last pieces of the summer puzzle lay in attack, not defence. There, Milan's main signing was Matias Silvestre, arriving on loan from Inter as cover for the injured Daniele Bonera. Regular central defender Cristian Zapata has struggled through the opening fortnight this term.
Adding a dimension to the Matri switch is his understanding of Allegri and his tactical system. They both enjoyed a fruitful time at Cagliari towards the end of the last decade. In his first season Allegri guided the Rossoblu to ninth. In Matri's second season he notched 13 goals in 38 games. It opened their paths to Milan and Juventus respectively.
In Turin, Matri became an Italian international and won consecutive Scudetti. Antonio Conte admitted he wanted the player to stay, calling the sale a sacrifice. "Matri is the striker who has scored the most goals here over the last two years. Technically speaking, I wasn't expecting his sale or that of Emanuele Giaccherini. But Milan made an offer. I would never have sacrificed him if we were not in an economical crisis."
Matri scored 27 Serie A goals in 69 appearances for Juve. The goals were instant following his January 2011 switch. Nine in 16 games was a good return, even if it was felt he arrived overpriced at €18m.
Matri was leading scorer with 10 strikes in 2011-12 as Juve pipped the Rossoneri to the championship, plus a further eight in their title defence, generally as a reserve. He netted a goal every 125 minutes last term, the best of any Juventus player. As a comparison, the player he replaces, Pazzini, scored 12 goals at a rate of every 136 minutes.
Despite his penchant for goals, the welcome home was mixed at best. Galliani evoked memories of Filippo Inzaghi's 2001 Milan switch last week. Since then, only Nicola Legrottaglie has moved directly from Juve to the Rossoneri. Matri joins illustrious company in making such a move – Fabio Capello, Paolo Rossi and Roberto Baggio amongst the names. He also takes Pippo's No 9 shirt. That furthers the narrative, but we are talking about two different strikers, even if they share a fox-in-the-box instinct.
Allegri sees his role as a critical one: "Matri played a crucial role for Juventus and he is the player we were looking for. Mario Balotelli, who is extraordinary, needs someone of Matri's characteristics by his side. They make the perfect partnership."
It's a reunion for the pair. Both Matri and Balotelli wore the Rossoblu shirt of Lumezzane in 2005-06. There, Balotelli made his professional debut aged 15. He featured twice, although Matri did not take the field on either occasion, out injured. When Matri returned, Balotelli was off to Barcelona for a trial. It didn't work out and once back at Lumezzane, Mario resumed in the youth sector.
Gazzetta dello Sport suggested on Sunday Matri and Stephan El Shaarawy will contest for the starting position alongside Super Mario in a 4-3-1-2 formation. This was pre-Kaka. On Monday the pink paper opted for a Balotelli-Kaka frontline, with Riccardo Montolivo behind. That could also be the role the Brazilian takes. Allegri has a week to figure that out.
Allegri was steadfast in his desire to land Matri, whom he believes can aid Milan in the upcoming months of the season. Conte's words after the sale were also telling. But the fans must now be convinced he is worth the price-tag and the fuss in gunning for his capture compared to a defensive reinforcement.

Jim Nill on NHL Draft and Dallas Stars: 'It's going to be different'
Stars general manager Jim Nill may have dashed fans' dreams about the team trading up in the NHL Draft to acquire No. 1 prospect Seth Jones.
Speaking with NHL.com on Wednesday, Nill didn't rule out the possibility of trading up, but he wasn't too keen about the proposition either.
"I know historically to move up at the draft it costs you assets and we're trying to build up assets," he said. "Unless it was just something that I thought was a no-brainer, we'd move up, but I'm very comfortable where we're picking and I know we're going to get a good player."
The Stars have two first round picks and two second round picks, giving them four of the top 54 picks in the draft, which begins June 28.
"It's a good draft," Nill said. "There's a lot of good players and there's going to be a lot of good players in the second round. It's a strong draft. … There's good forwards, there's good defensemen. If you want smaller, skilled guys, they're there. If you need some bigger power-forward guys … it's a good variation of players."
But the draft picks won't be the only additions to the Stars this offseason. Nill promised more, with some subtractions as well.
"I think we're going to be active," he said. "I know I need to make changes. We need to get … our team has to get better. That's my game plan -- I need to make some changes. It's going to be different."

"We've done volunteens and student volunteers in the past, but the thing that we're doing differently this year is recruiting students who are interested in medical careers," Brenda Harrison, director of community relations at Saint Mary's, said. "This gives them an opportunity to not only volunteer but to also sort of intern and see what medical careers are all about."
Saint Mary's partnered with the Norman Career Services (NCS) at Arkansas Tech University and worked with high school counselors, as they have in previous years.
"This is a vision of our chief nursing officer," Harrison said. "The purpose of this is to decrease wait time and increase patient satisfaction. So on one side, we're giving these wonderful students opportunities but we're working with them to help the patients, too."
Volunteers had to fill out an application and go through an interview process. They needed a letter of recommendation, as well as references. They also had to pass a background check and a drug screen.
The NCS selected students in medical fields and sent emails to them informing them about the volunteer program.
"I was indecisive about whether or not I wanted to be a doctor or go into something like physical therapy," Dusty Furr, a sophomore biomedical major at ATU, said. "I decided to give this a try to see if it would push me to go for the whole doctor thing."
Furr began volunteering in the ER department two weeks after she began at the hospital. She said it has been a good look into the field of medicine.
"Just to see the patients say, 'This is the best hospital I've been to,' it definitely tells me that I'm doing my job right," Furr said. "We really have to learn the art of communication to deal with patients."
Carlee Hinkle, a sophomore biomedical major at ATU, said the volunteer program has been a really good opportunity.
"I just wanted to see the different sides of a hospital to get a good feel of everything," Hinkle said. "I've learned how to talk to and comfort patients. I've seen a lot."
Hinkle said the hospital is helping her make decisions about what area of medicine she wants to get into.
"I'm narrowing down what I don't what to do," Hinkle said, "There's just a lot of things I don't know yet."
Raven Henry will finish up her paramedic education soon but will continue as a sophomore nursing student at ATU. Henry received the opportunity to work with Pat Torricko, CNO at Saint Mary's.
"My biggest shock was seeing a man that was really dying," Henry said. "It was an eye opener and I thought, 'I'm going to have to woman-up because this is real.'"
Henry said she enjoyed being able to experience what a career in nursing will actually be like.
"There's so much stuff you can see at the hospital," Henry said. "It gives you a lot of experience. I like it and I'm looking forward to coming back next year."
Diana Herrera, Saint Mary's volunteer coordinator, said this is a more intensive volunteer program that lets students get more involved in hospital procedure.
She said the program allows them to see the students grow.
"The college students are great this year," Herrera said. "They know what they're doing, they know how to move around and they know how to help."
College students are not the only ones with the opportunity to be part of this new program. Out of the 40 student volunteers, Herrera said more than half of them are high school students.
Matt Laws, a high school sophomore, said he has always been interested in medicine and thought the volunteer opportunity would be a good idea. He said he wanted to see what a hospital was like. Being at the hospital has changed his idea for his future.
"I originally wanted to be a pediatrician, but now I'm thinking about being a surgeon," Laws said.
Other high school students are taking advantage of the chance to see the behind-the-scenes aspects at Saint Mary's.
"I want to be a pediatrician eventually," high school junior Maliha Aniqa said. "I thought this volunteer experience would give me experience and get me used to the hospital environment."

hi there.
im Alex. A couple of years ago i found a rock sitting above ground, bang in the center of the worn desire line that makes up a semi-local footpath of southern England. From two meters this thing seemed strange, dark in colour, the middle of a path on its own etc. So i picked it up and straight away i could see what appeared to be fusion crust, regmaglypts and stress fractures. The rock is only 2 inches accross and does not adhere to a magnet.. Although i dont have a rare earth magnet. Only around 35% fusion crust is still visible, although this hasn't affected all it's characteristics. i have never found a rock that i consider to be a meteorite more than i do this one, dispite the internal corrosion. I believe it to have fallen many hundreds of years ago, and perhaps shattered or broken on impact. this however is only speculation, as the beautiful british weather has taken its toll. any advice?
Hello there. Could we have some nice daylight photos, The colour balance is a little shot in these photos.
Cheers Lewis

"How can we possibly determine that?!"
those have been on college humor for a while, I get a kick out of em everytime.
"Stop, no hints.... Helicopter"
I can't believe CH is still going... I remember seeing my first naked college *****es on that site...
If I am remembering correctly, I think their first venture into this type of production quality was "Street Fight: The Lost Years". It was a multipart series in which they spoofed on the characters of the game as they went on trying to live normal lives. It was hilarious.
This take on Batman being dumb as bricks is pretty funny. I like the one where he keeps getting caught tying to disappear. "Harvey, can we trust him?" LOLZ
New ones for those who liked the last episodes. I can't stop laughing at the one with the Penguin.

Tiger Woods' Ex-Caddie Williams to Write Chapter on Former Boss
After being fired by Tiger Woods earlier this week, ex-caddie Steve Williams is determined not to end the 12-year relationship so soon, at least not without some parting words.
Telling his hometown TV station in New Zealand that he plans to write a tell-all book about his career, Williams shared news that there would be an "interesting" chapter specifically on his scandal-clad former boss.
Since there was no confidentiality clause in his contract with Woods, there would be no reason for him not to write about their relationship, he stated.
"It will just be one of those interesting chapters in the book," Williams told the station, according to USA Today. "You learn a lot from reading [biographies.] I'm a big reader of those. Mine won't be any different."
The pair, who began their relationship in 1999, has been known for their close camaraderie throughout their employment. Williams aggressively defended Woods on the greens, took part in each other's weddings – though both are divorced now – and spent time together on and off the course.
Williams also stuck by Woods' side during his infidelity eruptions in 2009, which kept him off the field and out of several major tournaments.
Regardless of the long-time service, Woods announced on his website that it was "time for a change."
"I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think it's time for a change. Stevie is an outstanding caddie and a friend and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments. I wish him great success in the future."
Williams expressed his shock and disappointment in regards to the termination and shared with TVNZ, "I'm not disappointed in the fact that I got fired, I'm just disappointed in the timing of it, given how loyal I've been to him. That obviously didn't mean much to him."
"I'm a stickler for loyalty, I stuck with Tiger through a difficult period when a lot of people thought I should have left his side when things weren't going as they should have been going."
Though he lost respect for the golfer after he learned of his multiple infidelities, he thought it would be earned back through time and effort.
He was planning for another successful partnership with Woods, already having been a part of 13 major championships. And with new coach, Sean Foley, in the lineup and a major change in swing, Williams was excited for a new start.
But the sudden turnaround left him feeling betrayed and hurt. "I was prepared to hang in there through thick and thin," he revealed to the New Zealand Herald. "Whatever respect he may have earned back, he's just lost."
Despite the loss, Williams is prepared to start again with Australian golfer Adam Scott, whom he has been recently working with part-time due to Woods' previous leg injury.
"I'm excited about it, the last few weeks carrying with Adam has kind of opened my eyes a little bit," he told TVNZ.
Williams' book is not planned for release until after his caddie career is over. What new insight on Woods his chapter will reveal only time will tell.

Watch Michael Fassbender's 'Frank' Band Perform on 'Colbert'
On "The Colbert Report" last night, Michael Fassbender popped by to promote his new film "Frank," where he plays the mysterious lead singer of a band called Soronprfbs. But after the requisite interview segment, the actor hopped on stage with his "Frank" co-stars and performed the band's tune "I Love You All." If you're going to promote a movie with a fictional band, "The Colbert Report" is certainly the place to do so.
Those looking for a chance to swoon at Fassbender in rock god mode might be a bit disappointed because as in the film, he donned a large, papier-mache mask, covering his entire face. It looks cumbersome, but Fassbender being the talented guy he is, still manages to get a decent vocal out of the thing.
Rounding out the band were his co-stars Maggie Gyllenhaal on keyboards, Domhnall Gleeson on keyboards, Francois Civil on guitar and Carla Azar on drums.

Planets is a fun, interactive program for many-body gravity simulations. The emphasis is on play: it's easy to add in planets, zoom in and out, change the physical constants, save and load configurations, etc. It's designed to be easy enough for a kid to enjoy, but that hardly precludes adults.
Active-DVI is a DVI previewer and a programmable presenter for slides written in LaTeX. The previewer features color anti-aliasing, inclusion of images with alpha channel and blending, encapsulated Postscript file inclusion, Gpic specials to display pictures, correct treatment of many inlined-Postscript specials, page background settings, and Japanese pTeX DVI extension support. To present your DVI files, it features basic effects for presentation (pause, delay, dynamic text color change), annotations displayed on demand (similar to pop-up balloons), hyperlinks from slide to slide or to other files, replay of previously recorded parts of the display, text movements, page transitions, embedded applications, and scratching on slide to interactively modify the text on screen. Its special effects are set and launched from within your LaTeX source file via the macros of the advi.sty LaTeX package provided by the distribution. In addition, Caml hackers can program new and fancy Active-DVI effects in the source code of the presenter.
Generally, mod_ocaml is a flexible apache module for use of INRIA's powerful OCAML interpreter as a Web scripting language (with functional and imperative features). Simply embed OCAML code between HTML on your pages, like you do with PHP, mod_perl, etc. After modifying some settings, you can use almost any interpreter for providing dynamic content on your HTML pages.

CIL is a frontend for the C programming language which facilitates program analysis and transformation. CIL will parse and typecheck a program, and compile it into a simplified subset of C. For example, in CIL, all looping constructs are given a single form and expressions have no side effects. This reduces the number of cases which must be considered when manipulating a C program. CIL has been used for a variety of projects, including CCured, a tool which makes C programs memory safe. It supports ANSI C, as well as most of the extensions of the GNU C and Microsoft C compilers. A Perl script acts as a drop-in replacement for either gcc or Microsoft's cl, and allows merging of the source files in your project. Other features include support for control-flow and points-to analyses.

Active Surveillance
Some prostate cancers grow very slowly and may never become symptomatic or life-threatening. For such a slow-growing cancer, the pain, stress, and side effects of treatments may outweigh the benefits of treatment. However, it is not clear which prostate cancers may grow quickly and which grow slowly. Once prostate cancer is found your doctor will do regular tests and look for any symptoms that may suggest growth.
Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy uses medications to seek out cancer cells and destroy them. For example, one drug used to treat prostate cancer blocks the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow and spread. Targeted therapy may be used in combination with other treatments for advanced prostate cancer.
Possible side effects include:
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Decreased appetite
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- A skin reaction called hand-foot-and-mouth disease
Vaccine Therapy
Vaccine therapy works by boosting an individual's own immune system to find and kill cancer cells. It works much like a regular vaccine, but it is not preventive. It is generally used in men who have not had success with other hormonal therapies.
Possible side effects include:
- Fever and chills
- Fatigue
- Back pain
- Nausea
- Pain and stiffness in the joints
- Headache
Special Considerations
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take the medication as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Ask what side effects could occur. Report them to your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor before you stop taking any prescription medication.
- Do not share your prescription medication.
- Medications can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one medication, including over-the-counter products and supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills as needed.

Phantom Wealth and False Expectations
This is the eleventh of a series of blogs based on excerpts adapted from the 2nd edition of Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth. I wrote Agenda to spur a national conversation on economic policy issues and options that are otherwise largely ignored. This blog series is intended to contribute to that conversation. —DK
It is a curious thing. Unless we stuff it in a mattress, we expect whatever money we don't immediately spend to grow in perpetuity without effort. We do not expect the same of real wealth. Buildings must be maintained. Machinery must be replaced. Knowledge must be updated. The trust and caring of a community must be continuously renewed. Skills must be practiced. Even wild spaces must be protected from predators, particularly human ones. All of these require a real investment of our time and life energy.
Only phantom financial assets, the product of financial bubbles and fancy accounting tricks unrelated to the production of anything of real use, can grow effortlessly and perpetually—producing phantom expectations that, in the aggregate, can never be fulfilled.
Financial planner Thornton Parker has pointed out phantom wealth expectations are likely to be an issue for baby boomers who built up financial assets during the stock market boom in anticipation of a comfortable retirement. Just as their collective decision to put money into the stock market during their working years helped inflate share prices, so their collective decision to take it out during their retirement deflates those prices, leaving them in potentially desperate straits.
The problem is not confined to retirement accounts. It applies as well to the endowments of foundations, universities and other nonprofits. It applies to the public trust funds of libraries and municipalities, college savings funds, the reserve accounts of insurance companies, personal trust funds and much else.
Wall Street's phantom-wealth machine has created phantom expectations far in excess of the real wealth available to satisfy them.
Financial figures that get thrown around in relation to the credit crash and financial bailout of 2008 defy both reality and imagination. The financial assets of the richest one percent of Americans before the crash totaled $16.8 trillion, representing what they understood to be their rightful claim against the world's real wealth. To put that in perspective, the estimated 2007 U.S. gross domestic product was $13.8 trillion and the total federal government expenditures that same year were only $2.7 trillion.
System Failure? Look Upstream
Why it's important to address our economic problems at their Wall Street roots.
Clearly the $16 trillion worth of financial assets that evaporated globally between mid-September and end of November 2008 as the market value of the world's publicly traded corporations' share prices fell by 37 percent was phantom wealth—and that was only in publicly traded stock shares. Much of that phantom wealth has since been restored by a stock market recovery, without a corresponding recovery of jobs that put people to work producing real goods and services.
Welcome to the Alice in Wonderland world of phantom expectations.
It isn't necessary to know the details of Wall Street's esoteric inner workings to recognize we are dealing with a system that is delinked from reality and operating with no one at the helm.
Nor does it take special genius to recognize when folks are moving around trillions of dollars in secret transactions to generate billion dollar bonuses for themselves and cannot explain in a credible way where the money is coming from or where it's going, and cannot make a credible case it is serving a beneficial purpose, they are probably up to no good.
Beyond the more visible economic, social, and environmental consequences of Wall Street excess, it has also destroyed the integrity of the money system and created expectations that society has no means to fulfill. No one is even asking how the inevitable loss of unfulfillable expectations might be fairly distributed. A given dollar doesn't come with a marker that tells us whether it was earned through productive labor or is a product of financial manipulation and accounting tricks.
When the Fed creates money with a wave of an accountant's magic pen, it is creating phantom financial assets. This can be sound policy if the phantom financial assets put unemployed people to work creating real wealth by producing real goods and services of real value. If the Fed's pen is used simply to re-inflate financial bubbles or keep Ponzi schemes afloat, it is simply playing accounting games to hide the real problem and delay the inevitable reckoning.
The sooner we realize the real nature of the problem, seek an orderly resolution of the unrealizable phantom wealth claims and give priority to directing money to where it will put people to work creating real wealth to meet real needs, the greater our hope for a viable future.

Yes, but it's important to understand that what is designated as the mental body is not a disembodied experience. The experience of the whole body (sabba kāya) still includes a refined experience of the body. Peṭakopadesa 7.72:morning mist wrote:It's true that " permeating the body" mentioned in the jhanas refers to the mental body rather than the physical body, because the perception of five sense objects & sense desires, perception of the things of the kama loka have been left behind in jhana.
- The twofold bodily and mental pain does not arise in one steadied in directed thought and evaluation, and the twofold bodily and mental pleasure does arise. The mental pleasure thus produced from directed thought is joy, while the bodily pleasure is bodily feeling.
- Just as the bath-powder when inside and outside saturated with moisture, adheres and does not scatter, so the body of the meditator in the first jhāna is permeated with joy and pleasure from top to bottom, from the skullcap to the feet and from the feet to the skullcap, skin and hair, inside and outside. And he dwells without falling back. Thus he dwells like a Brahma god.
[Q.] Joy (pīti) and pleasure (sukha) are said to be formless phenomena (arūpa-dhamma). How then can they stay permeating the body?
[A.] Name (nāma) depends on form (rūpa). Form depends on name. Therefore, if name has joy, form also has joy. If name has pleasure, form also has pleasure.
Again, form born from joy causes tranquility of body, and when the entire body is tranquillized there is pleasure due to the tranquility of form.
Therefore there is no contradiction.
- Mind-produced form (cittajarūpa) suffuses every area where there is kamma-produced form (kammajarūpa).

By Stephen E. Morgan, CEO of American Clean Energy
Recently I was attempting to help my 6-year old assemble a puzzle. I suggested that he start with pieces that have smooth edges and work from the outside, in. As usual, he ignored me and promptly began force-fitting pieces into places where they were not going to fit without the help of a sharp instrument. Our society takes a similar approach when it tackles complicated problems like the energy puzzle facing the nation. We start with our minds made up as to what the completed picture should look like and we coax and argue the pieces of the puzzle into place--usually with the same outcome as my son who, after repeated failed attempts to get a meaningful picture, gives up in frustration with a partially solved puzzle. What we need is a Comprehensive Energy Policy. That effort starts with a thorough review of the issues related to production, transportation and use of all available energy resources, identifying and where possible, quantifying the problems attendant to each. It proceeds with fact based discussion of all possible solutions, examining their effects and likely outcomes--finding the edges that fit together. It culminates in a coherent picture, one in which all parts fit together without the benefit of having parts lopped off or worse discarded because they don't fit with our pre-conceived notion of what the end state should look like. I submit this is exactly what our political, policy and business leaders need to do to craft a coherent energy policy for this nation.
Much of the recent debate regarding a national energy policy has focused on what we call it, not what it does for us. Is it a National, Renewable or Clean Energy Policy? Much of the discussion is focused upon which market segments should be winners and which losers. We are not in a position to be picking winners or losers. We do not yet fully understand what the final picture can and should look like. The current energy mix has evolved over a very long period of time and admittedly not always rationally. However, significant economic value exists in the energy production and delivery infrastructure built over the last two centuries that, as a practical matter is not going to be stranded or discarded without significant legal, economic and societal damage. From an engineering and operational standpoint we couldn't replace it all overnight anyway. Arguing stridently to do so, regardless of motivation, will not help us solve this puzzle it will simply delay solution or worse cause us to give up in frustration as we have several times since the oil embargo in 1973. Would we build the energy infrastructure we currently have if we started with a clean sheet of paper? Perhaps not, but that is not relevant to the debate. We are starting with the puzzle already partially assembled.
Our job is to finish assembling that puzzle in a way that solves current problems and attempts to anticipate and avoid future problems. This task requires us to take a fundamentally different approach focused on long term viability, security and sustainability of the energy mix that is the very foundation of our standard of living. A viable Comprehensive Energy Policy need not be prescriptive, should not pick winners or losers or prefer one form of energy over another. It should however rest firmly on a base of scientific facts and an understanding of economic and societal costs and benefits. It can and should be informed by debate and input from every sector. In short, it should be the process whereby we architect the energy production and transport vision that takes us through this next century. If we will create this process, regardless of what we call it, I am confident that we can solve the complicated energy puzzle that confronts the world, not just our economy. I am also confident that when the pieces of that puzzle get assembled we will find that renewable energy and energy efficiency turn out to be the critical pieces we are looking for! --Stephen E.

The SpaceX launch of the Falcon 9 on the first of the NASA COTS missions code named CRS-1 took place at 8:35pm on Sunday evening. Night launches always create challenging conditions for launch photography, but also some offer some great opportunities as well.
One of the great shots is the long exposure streak shot as the rocket launches and heads off towards the east into the skies. This was enhanced on this launch by some thin clouds that diffused the flames from the rocket engines as it passed through them.
Our launch gallery includes the erection of the Falcon 9 on the pad a few hours before the launch followed by the launch itself. READ MORE »

The Teen Choice Awards: The only night of the year when millions of fans can tune in to see pink-haired ballerinas, on-stage fire pits and most importantly, an up-close-and-personal view of Harry Styles' butt.
One Direction took the stage with their latest single "Best Song Ever" to open Sunday's (Aug. 11) show, which honored entertainers in categories covering music, television, movies, sports and more as voted by actual teens.
The Pop Art-themed set filled with a flurry of red and yellow confetti as Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson slapped hands with the screaming fans who surrounded the stage. The group scored big, taking home awards for Choice Music Group, Choice Group Single for "Live While We're Young," Choice Love Song for "Little Things" and Choice Summer Tour.
Other big winners were musicals Pitch Perfect and Glee, for which star Lea Michele delivered an emotional tribute to the late Cory Monteith, who died of accidental overdose last month.


text: As fgs reiterated, tension loss is less relevant to stringbed behavior, than loss of resiliency/elasticity. Deadness has to do with dynamic properties of the string (such as dynamic stiffness). I think you can still control the ball with natural gut at super low tensions, as you still have that linear response and pocketing due to high elasticity/resiliency (even though power can become unmanageable). It's dead polys that become totally uncontrollable, afterall, why people can control fresh polys at 30s lbs?

The lawsuits are piling up in the case of alleged fuel contamination disrupting two businesses in Hawaii's helicopter tour industry. Attorneys representing Air Kauai and Island Helicopters have filed a $3 million lawsuit against Tesoro Hawaii, claiming the fuel provider sold them tainted Jet-A aviation gas that resulted in maintenance problems and a loss of business. Tesoro, however, has filed a counterclaim against the two helicopter operators and the state's Department of Transportation (DOT), saying the fuel, which was refined and transported by Tesoro, was likely contaminated by the DOT equipment that it was stored in and dispensed with at Lihue Airport. The state has filed a counterclaim against Tesoro, Turbomeca and Turbomeca's parent company, Safran Group, alleging fuel production issues, engine problems or a combination of both are responsible for the excessive engine coking Air Kauai and Island Helicopter's Eurocopter fleets are having. No accidents or injuries have been associated with this matter. For related news

The fiscal cliff PR war
The fiscal cliff negotiations are at such a standstill that not even aides to President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) talked Tuesday.
And the way the White House sees it, there won't be further face-to-face talks between the two leaders until Boehner says he's willing to raise income tax rates. If you believe Boehner's leadership team, it'll be a long December because he's nowhere close to caving on raising rates.
Story Continued Below
( GOP risks rift with right on taxes)
In this high-stakes battle over trillions of dollars in budget cuts and tax increases, the lack of any visible movement shows the fight right now is all about politics, not policy. Obama and Boehner are locked in a struggle for public opinion, the weapon that provides the upper hand in the negotiations.
The advantage, at this point, clearly belongs to Obama. Senior administration aides say the president doesn't want to go over the fiscal cliff — but he's willing to if Republicans don't yield on tax rates. And multiple polls find the public is on Obama's side, showing that voters will blame the GOP if no deal is reached.
Republicans are desperate to gain political ground — and say Monday's counteroffer by Boehner at least gives them hope of turning public opinion back in their favor.
( Ryan, Rubio plot GOP's path)
The proposal by Boehner and other top House Republicans — including Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) — sought to disarm Obama of his talking point that Republicans had no plan to avert the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and sequestration. That's the technical term for tens of billions of cuts to the Pentagon and domestic programs. Both take effect in January.
The White House didn't get any heads up about the GOP plan, a sign that the offer was for public consumption not private negotiating. It was received by email just moments before Boehner and his staff unveiled it to reporters. There was confusion among some House Republicans whether the offer was real, or just a "messaging document" to help them in their slow-motion showdown with Obama. When the media treated it as a serious offer, Republicans were gleeful.
The GOP proposal — which raises $800 billion in revenue while keeping current tax rates where they are — is precisely half of what Obama wants. And Republicans vow it's all that can pass Congress. Republicans would provide the revenue mainly by eliminating unnamed loopholes and tax deductions. Unreasonable, Republicans ask? Hardly, they say.
Republicans say they're taking a long view. They acknowledge they'll be blamed in the short term if the country plunges off the fiscal cliff. But they believe Obama will hardly want to face another recession, let alone a GOP House vowing to stop all legislation in its tracks.
( Also on POLITICO: Nearly everyone has thoughts on the fiscal cliff)
Polls show that Republicans have a long way to go in their effort to paint Obama as intransigent. A new Washington Post-Pew Research Center survey shows 53 percent say the GOP would be to blame if a deal isn't reached, and 27 percent would hold Obama accountable.
Figures like those cause real concern on the Republican side. A half-dozen senior GOP aides acknowledge that the longer Obama is able to maintain his grip on poll numbers, the more likely it is the GOP will have to cave and accept higher marginal tax rates.
Either way, this week will reveal much about where the negotiations are heading.
If talks don't resume soon, it means Obama is holding firm to his hard line of Clinton-era tax rates. Obama signaled some openness Tuesday in an interview with Bloomberg News, refusing to rule out a middle ground top tax rate of 37 percent.

text: msscha Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) April 1, 2011 Another day, another Aiptasia! Had to kill a big one today that my wife noticed...Aiptasia X seems to be doing the job, I think maybe I'm just hitting them accidentally or something and that's why they keep popping up? Who knows. I've killed off the same aiptasia with Aiptasia X for months now! I suspect in my case that not all the anemones are aiptasia (I know I had a variety of hitchhikers when I started my tank). I find keeping a peppermint shrimp has worked for me pretty well. The Caribbean varieties are known aiptasia eaters, though they don't take out big ones. Do seem to keep proliferation in check! One of the guys at the LFS said that he finally got rid of them by using a real hypodermic needle and stabbing into the sides rather than using what comes standard with the box. Might try that! That looks like snail to me, probably nassarius if you have them. They are notoriously slimy! Edited April 2, 2012 by msscha Share this post Link to post

Clover sounds like a typical Netherland Dwarf. They can be sweet, but they can pack a big attitude into a little body can't they?
When they chase each other does it every escalate? Or what happens exactly? Many times this is a dominance display.
Chasing and a little hair pulling is okay, but now that Toby is reaching sexual maturity, his hormones could cause major conflicts, so just watch to be sure it doesn't turn into a full blown fight.
It sure is amazing how different bunny personalities are. And now that more people are keeping them with them in their homes, they are able to really see this.

Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics has revealed author Rhianna Pratchett as the lead writer of the 2013 reboot of the series.
The Somerset-born Pratchett has helped pen plenty of games in the past, including Mirror's Edge, Prince of Persia 2008, Overlord and Heavenly Sword.
"I grew up playing Tomb Raider, uncovering the world's secrets and unearthing its treasures; I have lived and died as Lara Croft, but nothing comes close to the challenge of re-writing her," said Pratchett.
"Seldom do we get the opportunity to re-imagine and reinvent a legend, so getting my narrative hands on Miss Croft was a once-in-a-life-time opportunity. It was going back to the genesis of video game action heroines and exploring how to make such an iconic character meaningful and relatable for gamers today."
Despite only being officially revealed today, Pratchett has been involved in the game since the beginning. "Rhianna has been working on the game with the narrative from its early inception," Crystal Dynamics studio head Darrell Gallagher.
"There is no doubt that Rhianna has brought a depth and credibility to Lara, a heroine who will really connect with today's gamers."
Square recently also announced Camilla Luddington as the vocal talent and performance actress behind the upcoming reboot.
The game has also been embroiled in a touch of post-E3 controversy after executive producer Ron Rosenberg said Lara would have to defend herself against a would-be rapist. Square Enix has since said Rosenberg "misspoke" and distanced itself from the comments.

By the Numbers: President Obama's 2014 State of the Union AddressPosted by on January 30, 2014
6,778 total words.
40 words devoted to housing finance reform.
0 housing finance reform proposals from the Obama administration in 5 years
1 bill in Congress that protects taxpayers from ever again having to foot the bill for a housing crisis by ending the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and explicitly preserves the 30-year fixed rate mortgage.
That bill – the Protecting American Taxpayers and Homeowners Act, the PATH Act.
"Instead of perpetual bailouts, Americans want meaningful reform of our housing finance system. That is why the House Financial Services Committee passed the PATH Act to give Americans the sustainable housing finance system we need – sustainable for homeowners so they buy homes they can actually afford to keep, sustainable to taxpayers so they will never again have to bail out Washington's failed housing programs, and sustainable for our economy so we avoid future cycles of boom, bust and bailout. If the president truly believes in the need to address housing finance reform, as he said in tonight's speech, he has come to the right place." -- Chairman Jeb Hensarling, 1/28/14

Any suggestions as to the identity of this beetle please ?
It was taken on 21/08/2011, I thought I was being clever taking a picture against a coin for size reference, but sadly I can't now remember, (or tell), which coin it was (1p or 2p). Should have used the reverse side.
It was found indoors, the location is Hertfordshire, we do have a very large Oak tree about 60ft from the house.
Many thanks,
I think it might be a summer chafer, Amphimallon solstitiale
But that would suppose the coin is a 2p piece, since that species is about 20mm long.
Many thanks for the prompt reply, 7 minutes, amazing !
You're welcome [smiley]

Just for fun, I wondered about a little recording project you might all like to participate in.
I have a basic blues in F backing track. If those of us who have some recording facility each play a chorus, I'll mix it all together on the track and post the final result.
If there are loads of people interested I'll maybe do a few more, but for now I can cope with about 8, so the first 8 that express an interest I'll send an mp3 of the backing track.
All you need do is record one chorus and send me back just the saxophone part as a wav file (44.1 kHz please) and I will put it all together - the SOTW blues.
The next round will be a little way off, but anyone interested should now email me, not PM (as my inbox is hard to manage):
and choose the SOTW blues option from the dropdown menu.
All the finished tracks will be uploaded on the SOTW BLUES RECORDING page]

Two days before Arkansas played Michigan, the senior insisted the freshman was fine. Sure, he had been struggling to score in games. But Waithe said his offensive skills were evident during closed practices.
"He has a lot of things he hasn't shown you guys yet," Waithe said. "So I think he's going to be OK."
Mickelson made Waithe look like a genius last Saturday, coming off the bench to score 11 points on 5 of 6 shooting in Arkansas' 66-64 win against the Wolverines.
The Jonesboro native knocked down his first bucket on a turnaround jumper that rolled in during the first half. He scored Arkansas' last field goal on a well-timed pick-and-roll with point guard BJ Young, too, helping the Razorbacks remain unbeaten at home this season.
Arkansas called it a confidence-building performance for Mickelson, who has been contributing with his defense and shot-blocking abilities. So the Razorbacks (14-5, 2-2 in Southeastern Conference) hope the offensive production will continue when they play Auburn (12-7, 2-3) in Bud Walton Arena at 8 p.m.
"Sometimes when you make that first shot, man, you get confidence," Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. "I thought that relaxed Hunter. He looked more relaxed than anything else in the game against Michigan. Hopefully we'll see much more of that Hunter Mickelson."
Mickelson enters tonight's game averaging 4.8 points and 3.8 rebounds a game. He's also ranked No. 20 in the nation in blocked shots (2.6), collecting at least one in each of Arkansas' 19 games this season.
But his offensive performance had lagged behind his defense. Mickelson had scored in double figures in two of his first 18 games and was shooting 38.7 percent from the field. Mickelson managed just seven points on 2-for-13 shooting (15.4 percent) in four SEC games, too.
Mickelson said he didn't get discouraged by the offensive struggles and keep working. Now, his performance against Michigan is a sign his offensive skills are closing the gap on his defensive production.
"Five out of six, that's a pretty good start if I'm going to close it," Mickelson said."
Mickelson agreed with Anderson, too, saying knocking down his first shot against Michigan was important.
"The first one is probably the mindset," Mickelson said. "You make the first one then you've got a chance to make the other ones that you put up. You miss the first one it's kind of the opposite effect.
"But that first one kind of rolled in for me so it kind of helped out the rest of the way."
Mickelson's efforts were much-needed, considering Waithe went down with a calf strain two minutes into the game. Mickelson played 23 minutes — which was the fourth-highest total in his career — and also finished with four rebounds and two blocked shots in the win.
His performance impressed Michigan coach John Beilein, who said he had watched Mickelson on the AAU circuit.
"You've got to be patient with him while he develops because he's got a chance to be a great player eventually," Beilein said after last Saturday's game. "He's not there yet, but he will be."
Waithe is doubtful for tonight's game because of a calf injury, meaning Mickelson will have more responsibilities in a frontcourt down to three healthy forwards (Michael Sanchez and Devonta Abron are the others) and a roster with eight scholarship players.
So Arkansas guard Mardracus Wade said the Razorbacks need offensive contributions from everyone against Auburn tonight. That, of course, includes Mickelson.
"It's going to be very important," Wade said. "I think he understands what we need from him. ...
"I think he's going to step up to the plate."
Mickelson said he is up for the challenge after gaining some much-needed confidence on offense against Michigan.
"I'm out here working every day just like everybody else and it kind of paid off," Mickelson said about his performance against Michigan. "That's a good feeling."

A recognizable mural on the Evans building is coming down as part of Spartanburg Community College's renovation plans.
A recognizable mural on the Evans building is coming down as part of Spartanburg Community College's renovation plans.
David Benson, the muralist and retired Dorman High School art teacher, had hoped to save "A Tribute to Southern Past," but college officials said they are returning the building to the way it appeared in the 1920s, when it opened as Frank Evans High School, and the mural didn't fit with those plans.
The mural was painted in the early 1980s as part of a public art project after Spartanburg County purchased the building from the school district and had it renovated into the Evans Human Resource Center to house various human service functions.
Cheri Anderson-Hucks, the college's director of marketing and public relations, said the college has plans to include a portrait of the mural and its description on a "wall of history" inside the newly renovated Evans building. The wall also will feature mementos of the building from the 1920s to the present, she said.
When reached by phone Friday, Benson said he was "extremely disappointed" to see the mural removed. The college had offered Benson the mural, but he said he didn't have any way to store it.
The mural was painted on concrete panels that weigh 75 to 100 pounds each, Benson said.
"There is so little local art — particularly outside art — left, so it's a sad day for me," Benson said.
Benson supports the college renovation efforts to convert the building into its downtown campus, but he had hoped college officials would reconsider their plans to replace the mural with windows.
Donnie Love, the historic architect for the project, said in an earlier interview that the building initially was constructed in 1922, and a wing was added in 1925. Love said that since the mural wasn't painted during the period of significance, windows would be installed.
The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Once renovations are complete, the building will be certified as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Here it goes. I installed the 15
day trial of Zone Alarm to see how it is. Didn't like it so I decided to uninstall and it refused to do so. I then made the mistake of doing a hard delete in the program files menu. Since then, I have lost internet connection and have not been able to gain it back even with a new network card. I've done a search here on the forums and I hear remnants of the program stay about so it looks like I got destroyed. I have no idea what to do, can anybody offer any advice on fixing this problem and getting my internet up and running. I have Vista. Thanks.

CAU Takes Losses
On The Road
To Miles College
Fairfield, AL – One week after losing to local rival Morehouse College, the Clark Atlanta University Panthers endured a tough conference loss on the road against the Golden Bears of Miles College, 28-7. Clark Atlanta falls to 1-5 and 1-3 in the SIAC while Miles improves to 5-1 and 3-0.
Miles gained 338 yards on offense, while holding Clark Atlanta to 184 total offensive yards. The Golden Bears rushed for 143 yards on 42 attempts and threw for another 195 yards. Clark Atlanta rushed for 106 yards on 37 attempts and passed for only 78 yards.
Antwan Flower for CAU tied the game at 7-all with 1:12 left in the first quarter on a 1-yard touchdown run and after an Austin Casillas PAT.
Miles College then put together a 6 play, 66-yard drive just before halftime to score as Thomas connected with Antonio Pitts on a 29-yard touchdown pass to give Miles a 14-7 lead. Thomas and Pitts would hookup again in the third quarter on a 19-yard touchdown pass with 4:43 left to give Miles a commanding lead.
Floyd Graves completed Miles' scoring on a 2-yard touchdown run to cap off a 5 play, 39-yard drive in the fourth quarter with 5:45 left.
Morehouse Turnovers
Help Tuskegee Tigers
It was the battle between the big cats as the Maroon Tigers of Morehouse squandered prime scoring opportunities and turned the ball over to the Tuskegee Golden Tigers, who cashed in the gifts for a 21-14 victory.
Quarterback Donnay Ragland, threw back-to-back interceptions in the second quarter, which Tuskegee converted into a 14-0 lead.
Ragland got one of the touchdowns back in the third quarter when he darted four yards into the end zone. The touchdown was set up by a 38-yard punt return by Thomas Williams.
Tuskegee got its final touchdown on an 80-yard drive with 2:44 left in the fourth quarter. Derrick Washington ran it in from the 3 yard line.
New Hampshire Buries
Georgia St. In 44-21 Win
Andy Vailas threw four touchdown passes and Nico Steriti scored three touchdowns in New Hampshire's 44-21 victory over Georgia State on Oct. 6.
Georgia State's Ronnie Bell threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Albert Wilson to tie the game at 7 in the first quarter, but New Hampshire (4-2, 2-1 Colonial Athletic Association) scored the next 31 points to seal the victory. The Wildcats rushed for 332 yards and finished with 624 in total offense.
New Hampshire's Vailas threw for 252 yards, and Steriti rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns. Harold Spears added six catches for 94 yards and a score.
Ben McLain threw two scoring passes in the fourth quarter for Georgia State (0-6), 26 yards to Emmanuel Ogbuehi and 47 yards to Wilson. McLain and Ronnie Bell, however, combined to throw three interceptions, and the Panthers lost two fumbles as they remain winless on the season.
Clemson Runs, Passes,
Beats Ga. Tech 47-31
CLEMSON, S.C. – Tajh Boyd threw for a career-high 397 yards, but both he and his coach agreed he could have played better in No. 15 Clemson's 47-31 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday.
But Boyd and the rest of the offense settled down, running 93 plays and gaining 601 yards. It is the fourth time the Tigers (5-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) have gained more than 500 yards this season.
DeAndre Hopkins had 173 yards receiving on seven catches and two touchdowns, Andre Ellington ran for 82 yards on 24 carries and Clemson ran 93 plays to just 60 for Georgia Tech (2-4, 1-3), leaving offensive coordinator Chad Morris happy after a rough opening two possessions.
For all the offense, it was still a defensive play that turned the game Clemson's way. Right after Boyd threw a 35-yard touchdown to Hopkins that put the Tigers ahead 38-31 with 10:29 left in the game, Georgia Tech bobbled the kickoff and had to start from its 2 yard line. Tigers linebacker Spencer Shuey sniffed out an option pitch two plays later for a safety that crushed the Yellow Jackets' chances.
No. 6 S. Carolina
Dominates UGA
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Connor Shaw threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, Ace Sanders had a dazzling 70-yard punt return touchdown and No. 6 South Carolina's defense dominated fifth-ranked Georgia in a 35-7 victory on Saturday.
The Gamecocks (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) won their school-record 10th straight game with a performance that marked them as an Eastern Division front-runner – and maybe showed they're capable of even more.
South Carolina grounded "Gurshall," holding Georgia's stellar freshmen Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall to 76 yards combined. The Bulldogs (5-1, 3-1) finished with 224 yards, less than half their season's average coming in.
Georgia Southern Beats
Western Carolina 45-13
CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Georgia Southern totaled 614 yards on the ground as they beat Western Carolina 45-13 in a Southern Conference showdown on Oct. 6.
The Eagles (4-1, 3-1) scored on their first two possessions when Darreion Robinson broke free for a 48-yard touchdown run and Dominique Swope ran it in from 5 yards out to give Georgia Southern an early 14-0 lead. Robinson finished with 124 yards on 11 carries, and Swope rushed 20 times for 117 yards.
Western Carolina (1-5, 0-4) scored its first points of the game on Troy Mitchell's 11-yard run, cutting the lead to 14-6 at the end of the first.
Georgia Southern's defense dominated, and its running game continued to impress as the Eagles outscored Western Carolina 31-7 the rest of the way. William Banks and James Dean added 101 and 95 yards rushing, respectively, and two scores.
