I use old free ZA v.10.2 with Win7-64 + Avast (I hate soft incompatibility - I tried once newer ZA version but got massive problems with browser and win system, so I got back). I have 2 questions.
1) Does this version still works properly (I mean updating malvare, etc) or it's better just use MS firewall with additional interface?
2) I can see in Event Logs next record:
"Name resolution for the name cm1.zonealarm.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded." What it means and how I can fix it.

are racing towards a future vision in which humans can regrow
failing organs and essentially obtain
immortality. Along the way, they're shooting for the more
obtainable aim of curing a number of diseases (cancer, Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's, and paralysis, to list but a few) using stem cells.A
critical problem though is how to direct
stem cells to become the proper tissue type. Within
the human body, there are a rich variety of cells -- endothelial
cells, muscle cells, blood cells, osteoblasts (bone), and nerve cells
to name but a few. At some point in the development of the
human body, these cell lines were created by a biochemical signal
which instructing stem cells to become the particular cell
type.Experimentalists at Cambridge University and Rice
bioengineers Oleg Igoshin and Jatin Narula have examined one of these
critical biochemical signals. Based on a computer model
developed at Rice and experiments at Cambridge, they believe that a
trio of regulatory proteins known as the "Scl-Gata2-Fli1 triad"
controls the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), the
self-renewing cells the body uses to make new blood cells.In
healthy adult humans, each day HSCs are responsible for the creation
of 100 billion new white and red blood cells. HSCs are also
capable of "self-renewing" if the bone marrow is
damaged.The research at Rice delved into looking at the three
regulatory proteins and developing an mathematical model for how they
interacted with HSCs. In their model, the proteins act as a
bistable switch, with two states -- "replenish HSC" and
"differentiate". The system ignores extraneous
signals and throws the switch only when a signal persisted.Igoshin,
an assistant professor in bioengineering at Rice, comments,
"We don't yet have the experimental verification that this is
the master-level regulator for HSCs, but based on our model, we can
say that it has all the properties that we would expect to find in a
master-level regulator."Jatin Narula, a Rice graduate
student, adds, "In examining the results from the model, we
found the triad did have the characteristics of a master regulator.
The first time it's switched on, all the cells stay on. It also
handles deactivation in a controlled manner, so that some cells
differentiate and get deactivated and others don't. Finally, it has
the ability to discern whether or not the level of signal is present
only for a short burst or for a significantly long time."Rice
researchers hope that the regulatory triad motif reappears in other
types of stem cells, possibly leading to more breakthroughs.The
results of the study are published in
the journal PLoS
Computational Biology.


text: I was rewatching the first couple of episodes of DS9 and, after listening to the conversation Sisko has with Dax in Quark's Bar near the beginning of the episode "A Man Alone," it dawned on me how much the Trill's experience mirrors that of transgenderism. Obviously those who are transgender transition slowly over time, and in the Trill's case, it happens conceivably over a few hours on the operating table (although, this is 24th century medicine, so it probably happens over a few minutes--I haven't seen "The Host" in a long time). Still, the concept of switching genders and having everyone around you deal with the consequences of that is very similar. In a quote from "A Man Alone," while Sisko and Dax are having dinner together, they have the following exchange: I found this eerily similar to the experiences of transgender people. Sisko is having a hard time processing that his old male friend is now a female. He basically explains that he is adapting slowly, that it's just uncomfortable for the time being while he adjusts to the changes. Jadzia is still Dax, so to speak, just with a slightly different feminine lilt to her personality. It's still Dax on the inside, with all of the same memories and experiences. In a similar fashion, transgender people and those around them experience a major life transition. It takes time for friends and loved ones to adjust to the changes. Some people can't adapt properly, and friendships can be broken. Obviously, it's not a straight, 1:1 conversion between the two. It's not an exact metaphor. And, most glaringly, it likely wasn't the writers' initial intent to portray a metaphor of transgenderism, but it just struck me as fascinating how often the experiences of Trills and transgender people coincide, especially when the symbiont acquiring a new host results in a gender variance. Has this ever occurred to you? I'd love to hear your thoughts.


text: Triano has said that Numero Ocho will most likely return for Wednesday's game against the Magic. The big question on everyone's mind is will he start or not? A question as of yet unanswered by Triano. I'm really liking how JJ and the team are playing with Jack starting. I feel Ocho should come off the bench with limited minutes until he gets his legs back. And even after he gets back into game shape I think it's best that he backs up JJ. The team is playing it's best ball so far this season. Why not stick with what seems to be working? What do you guys think.

Cuts can and have alreadybeen made. See Boley, Titus Young and others.
Maybe Idzik has properly concluded that there are NO NFL GMs as dumb as Tannenbaum left out there who will offer him even a conditional seventh for Teblow and has decided to just cut the POS.
Lord hear our prayer
No, it's this guy:
You didn't know?
Please let it be something to do with the releasing/looking to deal Mark Sanchez. Please oh sweet baby Jesus.
More likely than not though it will be that Tebow is to be released.

Discussion in 'Face Plant' started by blaster11, Sep 29, 2012.
Let me guess he was just trying to get smart and was searching for some information......
Had the same injury about a decade ago after crashing my little XL250.
Everything works just fine now, tho I always have advanced warning when it's going to rain. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
Damn dude, lots of breaks and dislocations! Do you have hardware still in there? I see it's your first post as well...welcome!
incredible story, and recovery.
Thanks! Nope, no permanent hardware although the whole thing was held together with pins for a number of months while it healed.
Good luck with your recovery. I did this Nov 23rd.can't wait to ride.I know I could but don't want to chance it yet.
It's quite interesting how much more movement I have in all my toes and that the numbness that I was experiencing is gone as well since the screws were removed. I went and hung out with some folks today and watched them ride, foot is feeling better every day. I am putting more weight on it today but still using a crutch as it is still quite sore. The way things have progressed in just a couple of days I am sure that in a week I will be back to where I was just before they removed the screws.
Well I got the screws out on the 20th and I was supposed to wait until tomorrow to unwrap my gift but I just couldn't wait! Thanks Doc!!! Here is what it looks like with one screw removed, another one mostly backed out, and the pin he uses for a guide, I can't say I exactly understand the pin guide thing but it seems to work so what the Hell.
The gauze wrap came off and then the clear covering and pad which was a bit soaked through.
Left side of foot
and top of foot
As you can see there are a couple of stitches in each one of the entry/exit wounds, which will be ready for removal on Sunday the 30th, I plan on doing those myself.
After taking the bandages off and examining my foot it appears that the swelling is way less and the pooling of blood is way less as well. The foot is looking much more like the other one in size and color, which should make it way easier to get into a riding boot.....when its ready
Things are progressing well and I am able to tolerate a bit more weight each day. I think I have only taken 5 or 6 pain pills since the removal of the screws. I just hate taking meds but then again I am probably a bit grumpy because I am not taking them.....ok definitely more grumpy!
I have to say that I was concerned/worried about what to expect when I went in for the screw removal. Now several days have passed and nothing bad has happened so it really was no big deal.
Planning of my next big adventure can continue......Merry Christmas!
As to using the wire as a guide:
Less digging/stripping tissue from bone with a big tool(insert PAIN here). Also keeps you from stripping out the head of the screw(just went from a minor procedure in the office to a trip to the O.R.).
OK, but once they find the screw head how do they get the screwdriver in the head? Does the screwdriver have a hole in it that the wire slides through?
Ding Ding Ding. Winner winner, chicken dinner.
Tools are cannulated as well as the implants.
Cannulated got it....now that gives me something to use my Google Fu on. I understand now!
Saddle up. If I don't get him back in saddle, I'll have to buy some Pickle Stickers soon
Well this morning we removed the stitches from the incisions, everything looked good. Now all I have to do is start working my way back into a shoe but that won't start to happen until later this week.
It's weird how the small advances are the ones which make the largest difference, for example last night was the first night in three months I have been able to get up and walk to the bathroom, although a bit gimpy, I still walked without assistance. Nice!
So I went for my first ride since the accident today, about 80 miles! Probably a bit premature by doctor standards but I needed it and it is New Years day so I wanted to start off the new year right. No problems and my foot feels fine, I probably won't go for another ride for a little while longer...probably when I am more comfortable in a shoe. Overall a very happy day for me.
So today was the first day of the transition back to regular shoes. The plan was/is to wear a regular shoe for an hour and then back to my boot for 4 hours. Lets just say that those words are more easily written than executed...wow was that hard on my foot today!!!!:eek1 I think I did about 3 hours total in a regular shoe today and my foot is FRICKING KILLING me! More stitches please, ok just kidding. :huh I guess I am going to have to take it a bit slower, I thought I was going to have to leave work and come home today it got so bad. Whine off.
Just a small update...the transition back to a shoe is going pretty well. I have been able to wear a regular shoe all day for the past 3 days. When I get home from work my foot is still swollen and sore but I am making progress. Usually the swelling goes down over night if I haven't pushed too hard the previous day. I am riding a stationary bike about 4 days a week now for 30 minutes each session which I think is pretty good considering. Next week I will start with some leg presses and calf strengthening exercises....all in moderation and what I can tolerate. It seems that if I push it a bit and make it sore and then rest it for a day or so it comes back stronger, I don't know if this is good but it seems to be working. I also went riding this past weekend and put on about 400 miles....it sure was good to be back riding again. Unfortunately I still can't get my foot into my riding boots so I have been wearing hiking boots, not the best I know.
Great news!!
Yep, I am really happy with the progress I have made. Everyone always asks what type of physical therapy I am doing and the answer is that the doctor did not prescribe any other than walking....that when I get the strange looks. :huh He is like the #2 orthopedic surgeon in the country and every time line he has given me has been dead on so I have to keep believing at this point. A lot of riding and training to do this year.
Last night marked an major milestone. At first, Blaster was filled with trepidation leaving the knee scooter outside his reach in a public bathroom. Scared that he'd be left marooned if someone stole it. Then he proudly zipped around town, really the envy of every little kid who wanted one. Then the knee scooter fulfilled its' duties as shopping cart to the kitchen and to the Great Room and back.
For a while now though, it has sat idle staged at the foot of the bed, much like you might poise a fire truck awaiting for the next big alarm fire. Then last night, the knee scooter was called to action. He threw his leg on her, and zipped out of the bedroom. While you never forget how to ride a bicycle nor a knee scooter, he was bit shaky on it as it had been a month since he had been using it daily.
The door to the spare bedroom squeaked open, and Blaster returned on foot. Yes, that was the final ride for the knee scooter. I guess this officially symbolizes closing the chapter. Time to refurb the broken knob and get the knee scooter sold in the next month.
Today, is also marks the end of the schedules for transition from his metal boot to his hiking boot. Nothing but a few more months before he's 100% show-ready!

Jennifer Garner Introduction
When making a list of perfect girlfriends, Jennifer Garner should be at the top because not only as is she beyond pretty, she can kick ass too. Plus, she stands by her man Ben Affleck at sporting events.
Jennifer Garner Life Story
She went from earning $150 a week as an understudy to staring in her own TV show, while you were probably wasting your time at college. Not bad for one of the stars of Dude, Where's My Car. Garner also had small roles on TV's Felicity (Keri Russell), and in the big-budget flop Pearl Harbor Kate Beckinsale. But she's probably best known for playing agent Sydney Bristow on Alias (Melissa George). The show had a successful five-year run, and showed Hollywood that the cute girls-next-door can also save the day. Her butt-kicking on the small screen helped earn her the role of Elektra in 2005's Daredevil Ellen Pompeo movie, where she met the future father of her child, Ben Affleck. The film also spawned the Elektra Natassia Malthe movie.
The funny side of Garner can be seen in every girlfriend's favorite movie, 13 Going on 30. If you like the date-movie version of Jennifer Garner, you're in luck, as she can be seen next in the movie The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009), which is about a man haunted by the spirits of his exes. After that, Jen will star in the Ricky Gervais comedy The Invention of Lying (2009). Apparently she is a huge fan of Ricky Gervais' comedy.
Jennifer has a role in the 2010 release Valentine's Day

I also base my beliefs on the fact that health insurance costs are out of control;
I also believe change was needed because despite the absurd costs our health care system was ranked 37th in the world in the last survey by the WHO, somewhere near Morocco, Cyprus, and Costa Rica. We can argue about how the countries were ranked but one thing is certain; our system is simply not good enough. Also, in the current system people who refuse to get health care are already a drain on tax payers.
Add all of the above up and any logical conclusion must include the idea that change was necessary.

Somehow I just don't see Harlem Born/Bronx Native/CUNY Graduate/General/Joint-Chiefs-of-Staff/National-Security-Advisor/Secretary-of-State Colin Powell (R) endorsing Barack Obama for President again like he did in 2008.
It's not likely to happen this time!
If he's listening to political talk radio every day to and from work, for an extended period of time each way, it's no wonder his rhetoric has gone over the top.
That sh*t is toxic.
Lot of people b*tch about NPR being liberal-leaning, and I can see that, but they're by far the best radio station for politics. The general douchebaggery of talk radio sensationalism and political shock-jocks is simply not evident on national public radio. NPR isn't about personality nor daily "finding a new way to paint the other side as evil" talking points.
My advice to Warfish is to listen to NPR or music, stay away from right/left wing radio. Talk radio is the jerry springer of politics
All we have been hearing the past couple days out of the libs about Bain Capital and Romney's speech is just pure distraction tactics to keep us from talking about the real issues.
By spreading this garbage, the libs bought themselves two days where they didn't have to talk about the issues or Obama's record. Plain and simple.
Most people don't see through the crap but some of us do.
Of that 44 million, how many are truly cases where they have a legitimate case that we, the public, should be supporting them.
Fromt he things I've heard, not many at all.
And as a reminder, that 44 million starts after the existing 80-100 million ALREADY covered in some form by the State.
Agree to disagree. The problem is with the individuals, not the system. Irresponsible people who prioritize other things ahead of insurance, then complain when they get sick and can't pay. Thats not systemic, that a bad decision, one they should suffer the consequences of fiscally.Add all of the above up and any logical conclusion must include the idea that change was necessary.
The answer, as I see it, is not fullscale Nationalization (as many prefer) or this worst-of-all-world mandate-private-profitmaker system of Obamacare.
The answer is to hold people accountable. If you could afford insurance, and the vast majority can in fact if it was a priority and they sacrificed other comforts, but choose not to get it, thats on them. I (the taxpayer) owe them nothing but disdain.
As I see it, this current step is simply the next step on the way to Ken's favored system, full National Single-Payor State Healthcare. There will always be some sob story, some bleeding heart cause for why the NEXT few millions NEED us to help them, right up until 99% is covered, then and only then will some say "screw whats left".
I just wish there was more honesty about that desire. I can understand supporters of a 100% State System, even if I disagree. What I will never agree with is using bleeding heart sob stories about X, Y or Z, using VERY partial info about that person/family, misrepresenting whats happened and why, to make out that someone who made a household income of $60,000 with two fulltime workers, somehow couldn;t afford health insurance whilst driving a new SUV and living ina five-bedroom house in the burbs.
The truly poor. The disabled. Soldiers. Them I will support supporting, healthcase wise, forever. Obviosuly I am not a hardcore, not against a real system of support for the needy. The not-so-needy looking to milk the system with aligator tear tales of "need" which is really their own bad decision making......not so much.
And your 44 million is more than than truly needy people in need.

I think you mistake me for someone who cares, in any form, what you think of me, or is dumb enough to fall for your psudo-intellectual chin-rubbing "well, I didn't say THAT exactly, you're misunderstanding my intents and nuance....."right, because the only way to think is the Warfish way. Think like Warfish or you are a biased idiot. I get it, it has been on display here for years. If people don't think exactly like you they are biased and stupid.
You claimed I couldn't back my claim and was making it up, and living in some fantasy world. I backed it, backed what I heard, with the sources.
Simple as that.
The rest of your personal-grudge-based gurning is just that. Irrelevant to me.
Then don't try. Because I do not care what you think, or think of me, now or ever. It's a derail and distraction to even discuss it.This post is proof positive of your inability to have an adult conversation
Ignore button is right up over there, under user CP. Just spare me your girlish whining.
You're welcome.
There are some that healthcare is used for everything frpm the common cold,
or they just feel well. For me the less time I spend in a doctors office the happier I am. The over use of doctors visits makes it cost more for everyone.
Maybe higher deductibles for office visits is the answer at least one of them.
Everything every politician does is calculated. But Romney went to the NAACP (he was invited) and said to them pretty much the exact same thing he has said throughout his campaign. NAACP is about equality and Romney treated them the same way he treats any of his audiences. To falsely cater to them, like Biden bordered on doing, is demeaning. But he gets away with it b.c he plays for the same team as them.
Anyone who says he wanted to get booed to win over racists is just a fool. I know we now live in an era where people don't care whether or not they get bad press b.c they just want the exposure but that is not true with politicians. No politician wants to get booed. There is a such thing as bad publicity in politics.
Basically everything that has gone on in the media (and it is the media that created this) has basically undermined everything we have been trying to achieve over the past 60 years with regards to racial equality. Do they really want Romney to lie to the NAACP just so he can get an applause? If I was a member I would take it as an insult to my intelligence that someone would speak before me and lie to my face just to get my support.

To go along with her newest, Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, Katy Perry has released a massive smash-up single and video of all the hits from her Teenage Dream album.
This inventive video, paired with a remix by Chicago-based producer Tommie Sunshine, lets Katy do it all again, from last Friday night to repping the West Coast California girl style.
Perry has also taken a bit of inspiration from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and launched a "golden ticket" contest. One lucky winner will find a golden ticket in their Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection album that entitles them the chance to walk the red carpet for the premiere of her forthcoming concert film
If that isn't enough for fans, the singer was also recently featured in a new Adidas commercial entitled We All Run that features the Jacques Lu Conte Thin White Duke remix of her current single, "Part of Me."

* Prices may differ from that shown
My son was suffering from sore itchy painful toes. The skin between his them was flaky, dry and red. They itched so badly that it was causing him to bleed through scratching. I looked it up on the internet and it matched the description for Athletes Foot. I think the problem was that his feet got wet in the particular trainers he was wearing and he'd kept them on all day; also these trainers were making his feet sweat.
Athlete's Foot is a fungus called dermatophytes which lives in and feeds off dead skin, it multiplies under the right conditions causing a problem. Shoes etc can make your feet moist, warm and dark this can cause the fungus to grow. I'd heard of it and knew what it was but what I didn't know was that it is can be passed from person to person from towels etc. Also I didn't know that it can get infected so needs treating.
I popped to Tesco to have a look for something to treat it with. I bought Scholl Athlete's Foot Powder containing Tolnaftate antifungal for 3 or 4 pounds. I settled on a powder rather than a cream, as I thought it would be easier to just sprinkle this over his toes and could be put directly in socks- also cream can feel uncomfortable on, especially when wearing socks. It does state that in severe cases use in conjunction with Foot Spray or cream. This powder is not for use on under 3 year old's, and not for your scalp.
It is as easy to use as I thought it would be, you wash and dry your feet twice a day and apply. I just sprinkled liberally onto the affected area at bedtime and popped some in his socks; it didn't irritate the skin. The powder just looks like talc, not quite as 'smooth' as body talc but not rough either; it doesn't smell of much.
I was amazed at how quickly it worked over night really. Certainly within days his feet were back to normal, the fungus didn't grow back either. I threw the trainers away and only on one or maybe two occasions has he suffered from this since, but again a quick sprinkle gets rid of it.
I would recommend this foot powder, it worked. I still have almost a full tub left so good value for money too.
5 Stars.
Athlete's foot is a horrible problem with a hilarious medical name if you imagine it's being said by someone with a heavy cold. Admittedly, some suffer from a case of Tinea Pedis worse than others but even mild cases are enough to drive you to distraction. Once in a while, I get a mild case of Tinea Pedis (even with the heating on full blast). If you've never had it, you are a lucky sole (yep, I meant to say that). As such last time it started rearing it's head after a day of being on my feet all day, I went right to the shops to pick up a treatment for it. They didn't have my usual go to brand so I picked this stuff up instead.
===That means I'm an athlete right?===
Wrong. Athletes foot is called that because it is common in athletes as their athleticism and showering habits tend to leave them with the perfect conditions to contract and pass on this horrible little issue. It's a fungal infection caused by a group of fungi called Dermatophytes that like warm, damp, dark places. It's easily spread in public showers at gyms and such but you don't really need to do much to have these little mushrooms run wild between your toes though so don't think you'll never get it.
It's only when you accidentally don't dry your feet off or if you've sweated a lot over prolonged periods of time that they'll multiply and run riot. When they do, you'll get really itchy, sore, red bits between your toes. Your skin will flake and peel and it'll basically feel like you've got a constant paper-cut between your toes. My pinkie toes are the worst for it since they are really close to the next toe, the towel sometimes doesn't get in properly. If you don't treat it, mostly it will be a nuisance, but it can get very serious going as far as septicaemia or having bone infections set in. Though your toes would probably have to turn black before that would happen and I'd have thought that might encourage anyone to pop down to their local supermarket and sort themselves out.
===Who's Shoes?===
The Scholl brand was founded by William Mathias Scholl in 1906 in Chicago and made their name for making foot related products. They are currently owned by Reckitt Benckiser (well, it's actually SSL international but that's who owns THEM) who also own brands like Durex and Clearasil. In theory then, they know what they are doing by now! The bottle ever so nicely gives you their contact details too so you can get in touch to tell them what you think.
The postal address is
Scholl consumer products LTD
103-105 bath road
The phone number is 0500 455 456 but if that's not good enough there's another one on their website 08000 742 040. The website in question also has a "contact us" form that can be found here: http://www.scholl.com/en-GB/contact-us.raction. That's probably the easier option!
===What made me go for this one? ===
Partly I picked this stuff up because the usual brand I use was out of stock but mostly I picked this up due to a total mistake on my part. I had looked at the bottle in a hurry and thought, for some reason, that it was a spray. It's a similar shape to a deodorant can and the top looks like a lid that comes off. That would be completely wrong. It's actually a talc like powder and the bottle has a little twist top to open the holes in the top. At first I was a little annoyed when I discovered my mistake but as I was already home I decided to just give it a bash. The bottle is fairly boring with clunky designs (it has changed from the picture on here) with an almost cartoon picture of a foot against a yellow and blue background and Athlete's Foot Powder in big letters on the front (yes, I really was being blind) It states lower down that it treats the fungi and prevents re-infection. The bottle looks a bit childish especially in comparison to the very medical, grown up looking bottle that it used to be. That being said, it also doesn't scream out "OMG FUNGAL INFECTION" while it's sitting in your basket in your local shop like the old bottle did. That has to be a plus!
===Powdering my Toes===
The instructions suggest using the powder twice daily and to use on your socks etc for extra protection. It also says you should use it for two weeks after symptoms go away. Being fed up with my itchy little toe, I decided I'd opt for extra protection. I actually went a little overboard with the use of it just to make sure. I've been applying it every morning when I get up and after every shower. I've also been applying it after particularly long days at work or out and about when I've gotten a little sweaty and again at bed time. I've tipped the bottle into my socks before I put them on too.
The first time I used it, I squeezed the bottle. Big mistake. You'll get covered in powder if you do this. A couple of light shakes will give you more than enough powder to cover a whole foot. I noticed at first it had a faint pleasant smell, similar to normal talc, but that smell has since faded and I can't pick it up. I've found the easiest way to apply the powder without making a total mess is to put some powder into one hand and sit your foot with your other hand beneath it, ready to catch any excess powder. Sprinkle the powder from your hands onto your toes and then rub it in as best your can between your toes/ all over you foot if you want. Then take the hand from below and rub the excess in with your other hand. If you don't you'll get powder all over your floor/ trousers/ sofa. I've also developed a bad habit of clapping my hands afterwards to get rid of extra powder because it creates a fun little dust cloud but be careful as you aren't supposed to get this in your eyes.
===The results===
I've been very impressed with this stuff. I will admit, it's not as quick to apply as the sprays you can get, however I have found it has worked a lot better than them. The sprays are always quite cold and sting my feet if I have athlete's foot. The powder was a lot more comfortable to use. It wasn't cold and it didn't sting for a start. As well as that, it left my feet feeling dry and fresh rather than like they had a coating of spray on them that then made me worry about getting it on the carpet. I was also much more confident that the powder had covered the right area; trying to spray in between your toes while keeping the canister upright and cover the right areas is a bit of a nightmare! The little bit of extra time spent has definitely been worth it. Within seconds of my first application, my little toe sighed with relief. Within two days the itchy red soreness had completely gone, only leaving behind the skin that had peeled from the athlete's foot. Two weeks later and I am completely healed
===Any downsides?===
Using this powder regularly has made me realise how sweaty my feet are at all times. Whereas before it didn't really bother me, now I can tell when my feet aren't bone dry and I feel a bit gross for it. The only other downside is that occasionally it does get a bit messy when you're using the powder; it's not always possible to catch it all or stop the white marks showing up. If you're wearing black, make sure you wash your hands before you touch yourself!
===The Ingredients===
The list of ingredients on the bottle is fairly small. The Active ingredient is Tolnaftate and the rest seems to be made up of Corn Starch and Talc. It does say on the bottle that sometimes it can actually cause itching or irritation and states if it is severe you should stop. I'd have hoped you wouldn't need the bottle to tell you that though!
===The Price===
At first I thought the price was really high at £4. Having used the powder now, I don't think that is too high. I still have tonnes of the stuff left and it can be easily stored by closing the cap. The use by date is may 2015 so it'll keep for a long time. As it does say you can use it for prevention of the fungi, I'll probably use it every few weeks to give my feet an extra anti-fungal treat, but I probably will switch to using normal talc to keep my feet dry from now on.
===The Verdict===
Despite my initial fury that I'd have to waste time applying this stuff, I've been well and truly put to rights. The powder, in my mind, well outshines the sprays that are available. It has worked quickly and effectively at getting rid of my Athlete's foot and stopping me whinging. The £4 price tag may seem hefty, but you get more than enough (75g is loads when it's as light as talc!) of the stuff for your money making it totally worth it. I'd give this a full five stars.
Both me and my other half are plagued by the uncomfortable and horrible condition of athelet's foot. We do martial arts together and it can be a bit off putting to our teamates when they see the state of our feet and toes in bare feet on the floor during a match or a training session. We have tried lots of things over the years to erradicate the problem. Sometimes they work, but usually the fungus will gradually creep back.
We have been using Scholl Foot Powder for a few months now and it has proven to be really effective in my opnion. A 75ml white plastic container will cost you just about £1.60 We bought ours from Tesco). It has a picture of an infected foot on the front which is pretty angry looking.
You lift the lid, just much like a tin of talcum powder, and you will see the little holes where you sprinkle the stuff from. Apply is liberally to all over the foot and especially between the toes becuse this is where it gets really warm and moist and where the fungal infection likes it best as conditions are great there for it to multiply.
I manage to sprinkle mine all over the floor and get shouted at by my other half, but it's easy enough to clean up afterwards. Therefore I usually put a towel down first to stop this from happening. I don't feel an immediate relief from the symptoms but after a day or so I stop scratching and gradually the symptoms will subside My other half really also rates this stuff very highyl.
The active ingredient is called Tolnaftate 1% which is an antifungal remedy and boy it is good stuff. It is gentle yet effective at the same time and really does help us both erradicate this painful and irritating problem we both have.
It is messy to use but I also use it up quite quickly as I also sprinkle it inside my socks and my shoes just to make sure that my feet are completely covered in the stuff.
Really recommended by the both of us.
review also posted on Ciao as sorehead
I have been very prone to Athletes foot since I was really young, my feet just need a hint of moisture and they are all cracked and itchy. So after having to get in my turtle pond (don't ask), I was fully expecting the onslaught I received! When I next went shopping I was excited to see a special offer in Tesco on Scholl spray and powder (£1.62 each) so I had them and a Canesten cream!. It was blitzing time.
This product comes in a white plastic bottle, with the typical talcum powder lid - that is you turn it to reveal the dispensing holes. The main colours are blue and yellow and there is a picture of a poor infected foot on the front, with the typical areas affected by Athletes foot highlighted in red. This reinforces the idea this is a targeted product that will get to work on your problem. The product is 75g of soft thick white powder.
The back of the bottle displays the usual directions, safety and product into. It tells us the active ingredient is Tolnaftate (1% w/w) which is a strong antifungal. Apparently one of the best available without prescription. It is recommended to use in conjunction with the spray and cream in severe cases, which I did. Mine wasn't particularly severe in terms of area affected, but it was very itchy and painful and I am mighty impatient! It's important to note this is not to be used on children under 3 years old
This product is really gentle; there is no friction from applying it, you don't even need to touch the area. Being powdered it is brilliant at preventing moisture which can of course exacerbate Athletes foot. I did not experience immediate relief when I used it as I did with the cream and spray, but you know it's going to be good since it keeps between your toes as dry as possible. I used it twice a day, in the morning after showering and again in the evening after giving my feet a good wash and dry. I kept this up for over a week after my feet healed to prevent reinfection. (my routine was cream then spray then powder). I would also use this to give my socks and shoes a light dusting.
All in all it's been really effective in conjunction with the other treatments. My feet started to heal pretty quick, and this was great at keeping my feet a moisture free zone. When I took my socks off to wash my feet before the second application, I could still see the powder in between my toes, even if I'd been out that day walking about. I do generally get little recurrences though, and I have to start treating again. It seems to take a lot of beating in me once it gets a hold (it's always been this way) and I don't lay any blame for this at the feet of Scholl.
It should last more than long enough to clear up your infection and continue treatment afterward. You get plenty in the bottle, although I do tend to be a bit heavy handed with it as ensuring I get it between all my toes does mean I use more than is probably necessary! And it can be quite messy, best to apply it over a towel or something as you will get it on the floor! I truly still find it lasts well though. And let's face it, when you think of feet you think of Scholl, don't you? It's a brand defintely worth £1.62 in my opinion.
It has been a few years since I suffered with this nasty little thing. I only had it for a week or two, but what a foulsome ailment to have! It really serves little purpose and all it does is make you body conscious. When I did suffer with it, I thought my foot was disintegrating, so I went to the doctor for advice and I was advised just to try some powder. This is one of the treatments that I tried and I am pleased to say that it did work for me.
The Scholl range was already familiar to me, as I had a pumice stone in my room. The pack was only three pounds, so the price seemed fair at the time. The idea is to apply the powder to the affected area and then leave it to recover. It is not the world's most enjoyable task applying powder to what is essentially a fungal infection, as you have to get into the nitty gritty. Athlete's foot, if I recall can be flaky, itchy and at times rather painful. There is a tendency to want to keep playing with the affected area and this makes it worse and can also cause the infection to spread further.
It applies like a talc, no real smell to it, which is good and leaves a matte like dust on the area. This dries the foot out and stops excess moisture getting into the area, which will fuel the ailment further. I had to use the powder for about a week then the symptoms begun to dissolve. Not instant or overnight results, but if you can resists the urge to touch then it works quicker. A pack of this powder should see you through the treatment and I found that a light dusting was all that was needed to sort the problem. Messy at first too, so use a tissue or towel to collect the remaining powder as you use it.
I use scholl athletes foot powder as I have had problems in the past with itchy red patches that were painful. I now use scholl powder after showering at the gym and when doing anything where I think the powder will help keep my feet dry and infection free.
I think the scholl powder is great for me. Its very easy to use. I just sprinkle a bit on and then if needed I rub it in carefully. I don't need to mess about and it takes no more than a minute to use this.
The scholl brand is one I trust and at £3.29 a tube I think that I get a good deal with this. Each tube has 75 grams of powder in. I know that sounds like very little, but it is enough to last a couple of months.
At times when I have had itchy bouts I use the scholl twice a day to keep everything as itch free as I can. I wash and dry my feet first and then use the powder on them. Its easy to do that.
I think the powder is very light. It feels lighter than normal talc does. You need to get used to the light feel and try not to over do the scholl when using it. That way the powder still works but lasts longer.
Scholl powder has tolnaftate in it as well as talc. The tolnaftate is what works as an anti fungal to clear foot infections. It does need to be used regularly to do that.
Sometimes I have had to use this and the scholl foot cream at the same time. They work great together and soon clear things up for me.
I would recommend the scholl powder as it is easy to use and works great. You need to use it twice a day, every day for up to 10 days to see full results and keep using it even when redness fades for a few days to really clear any infection.
Having been a dancer and also spending a lot of time either in the gym or going hiking I have always had a problem with athletes foot especially when the summer arrives but it can be a problem all year round. Athletes Foot is a nasty, very irritating foot infection which is actually a fungal infectioon in your feet, it can be treated with a number of sprays, creams and also powders and I have found that I tend to rotate the type of product I use depending on how bad the infection is and I tend to turn to Scholl Athlete's Foot Powder if the skin has cracked at all or if it is painfully sore.
The reason for this is that the sprays which I find really effective are also very painful if they are used on cracked skin whereas there is no irritation with the powder. You foot should be washed and thoroughly dried before applying the powder, I find that the powder is fast working however it pays to use it for a number of days even after the infection has cleared up to ensure it does not return and personally once the cracked skin has healed I tend to also apply a cream or the spray as well.
The powder is good as you can also apply a light coating to the inside of your trainers and also gym socks as well to provide extra protection.. It costs £3 to £3.50 for a 100g bottle however the range of products are sometimes part of a 3 for 2 offer in Boots so look out for that as the product will last a long time if stored correctly.
Overall this is an effective powder gto eases the symptoms of athletes foot, reducing irritatuion and ultimately getting rid of the problem.
I don't know what it is about my feet but every summer I end up getting overhot feet and athlete's foot. Over the years I have tried numerous products - aerosol cans were incredibly painful to use, creams seemed to be ineffective and shops own brand powders made a mess of the carpets without making any difference to my feet.
I eventually stumbled upon the Scholl athlete's foot powder - and what a relief it was to find a product that worked and worked quickly. You can find it on Amazon for £3.25 for 100g.
The directions for use say you should wash and dry your feet first, and then dust the powder over your feet - especially in-between your toes. It is also recommended to dust some inside your shoes, socks or tights, and to store it at less than 25c.
The packaging is a plastic tube with a twistable top, rather like what you get with talcum powder. As you turn the top part, it lines up the holes in the lid with the holes in the top of the tube therefore allowing you to pour out the powder. I suppose this method is as accurate a way as you are going to get at spreading the powder but you will still find that plenty of it will miss your foot and end up on the carpets. There is also no immediate impact or pain relief, you just see the powder is on your foot, you put your socks and shoes on and carry on as normal. However within 1 to 2 days you will notice the athlete's foot infection has stopped itching and within a week it will have cleared up. I have often made the mistake of stopping using it at this point; if you do so the athlete's foot will come back. It is best to continue using it twice a day for the next week and you should be ok
In conclusion, this product is wonderful. It works quickly, does not cost the earth and will last ages (I bought mine 3 or 4 years ago and just noticed it still has another year on the best before date)
I'd never had athlete's foot until recently and didn't realise that it could be so uncomfortable. Athlete's foot is a fungal infection mainly affecting the skin on the foot which causes scaling, flaking and is also very itchy. I decided to give Scholl Athlete's Foot Powder a try, and I must say it is very effective.
I purchased this from Boots for around £3.19 for a 75g tub. It is very similar to a regular talcum powder in its appearance and application. The tub is a handy design as it has a sifter on the lid to allow easy dispensing of the product.
The powder is easy to use. Basically make sure the affected area is dry and clean, which for me was only between the little toe on my left foot. Then dust the area liberally with the product, between toes and if necessary, for added protection, you can also dust on to socks. I didn't bother dusting my socks as my infection was quite minor.
It recommends that you repeat this twice daily, and continue for 2 weeks after the infection has cleared up. For me, the infection was cleared up within the week which really impressed me, since the product was quite cheap I did not expect the reults to be so quick.
It does state on the packaging that it is not suitable for children under 3 years old. Also if the condition doesn't clear up within 10 days then you must consult a doctor.
A great, easy to use product that works really well, a thumbs up from me.
Scholl Athlete's Foot Powder; is a topical antifungal for the prevention and treatment of Athlete's Foot / Contains Tonaftate, an antifungal medication for treating Athlete's Foot Fungi.

A middleweight title fight between Sengoku champion Jorge Santiago (22-8 MMA, 6-1 SRC) and Kazuo Misaki (22-10-2 MMA, 3-2 SRC) – initially expected for this weekend's Sengoku Raiden Championship 13 event – is now targeted for the organization's currently unannounced Sengoku Raiden Championship 14 show.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported the bout in May.
Although initially expected to take place at Sunday's show, it's now likely to headline the Japanese-based Sengoku Raiden Championship 14 event on Aug. 22, a source close to the organization today told MMAjunkie.com.
Sengoku Raiden Championships 13 takes place June 20 at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo. Featherweight champ Masanori Kanehara vs. Marlon Sandro headlines the show.
Santiago and Misaki first fought in January 2009. The fight materialized after Santiago won the 2008 Sengoku middleweight grand prix. He then pushed his win streak to nine fights by scoring a come-from-behind fifth-round submission victory over Misaki. The Japanese fighter refused to tap from the rear-naked choke and went unconscious before the referee halted the fight.
After that title win, Santiago fought highly regarded Polish competitor Mamed Khalidov in a non-title fight. Khalidov extended his undefeated streak to 18 fights and stopped Santiago via first-round TKO at Sengoku Raiden Championships 11 in November.
However, in an immediate rematch in which the belt was up for grabs, Santiago avenged the defeat and stopped Khalidov via unanimous decision at Sengoku Raiden Championships 12 in March.
Santiago next meets Misaski, who's 1-1 since the loss to Santiago. Misaki, who was once ranked as one of the world's top-10 middleweight fighters while competing in PRIDE Fighting Championships, rebounded for a technical-submission win over Kazuhiro Nakamura in August but then suffered a dramatic TKO loss to striker Melvin Manhoef in December.
For the latest on Sengoku Raiden Championships 13, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

Don -
My discussion was focused primarily on the non dual plugged setup, the D35-1 kit. I said that but you cut off your quote:
I have this kit on my /7, so I feel I know a good bit about it. If you look at the first picture posted by donbmw of the D35-1 kit, the wires to-from the coils are just as they are in a standard points system, although the Red wire seems to be extra. The Brown wire is the switched ground that used to go to the points but now uses the Dyna box to indicate when to switch the "points" open so that the coils can collapse and generate the spark.The Dyna III does not eliminate the wasted spark setup on Airheads, at least for the non dual plugged package.
The second picture has two dual plug setups. One is D35-1 so that's that same as above. The D35-2 is indeed different...I've never really paid much attention to dual plug wiring for Dyna. It appears that 12v is coming to each coil and if the Brown and Black wires act as switched grounds, then it appears that the D35-2 setup can switch one coil independent of the other. Further evidence as you point out is the need for a tach module because the D35-2 kit will fire each coil half as often, resulting in the wrong tach reading. The tach monitors the collapse of the coil to determine the RPM. So that evidence seems to point to the D35-2 setup as not a wasted spark.
From what I understand, the longer the "points" are closed, the coil is being saturated deeper and deeper, resulting in a stronger spark when the field collapses. But the time of saturation should be not be too long as the coil will heat up. This can be a concern when doing maintenance work with key on-ignition off and the points closed...the coils can become very hot over a period of time. Whether the change to a non-wasted spark situation with the D35-2 results in too long of a time for saturation, I doubt it but it's something to consider. It could mean a slight affect on the coil life, but it's probably not quantifiable.
Timing of a wasted spark system with the D35-1 package lets you use a timing light on either spark plug wire to see what is happening to the other cylinder. This is where you might see the ghost S-marks. But with the D35-2 kit, you would have to move the timing light back and forth on the plug wires to see how the other cylinder is firing. This is probably the difficulty mentioned in previous posts about trying to get both sides timed correctly in this situation.

Intel, partners looking to manufacture 64-bit mobile processors
Date: Thursday, October 31st, 2013, 10:30
Category: Hardware, News, Processors
Never doubt the power of the mobile processor business.
According to Forbes, at the ARM developers conference today, Intel partner Altera announced that the world's largest semiconductor company will fabricate its ARM 64-bit chips starting next year. The announcement sent shockwaves through the technology industry as Intel is desperately trying to break ARM's supremacy in the mobile market. Unlike Intel, ARM Holdings of the U.K. doesn't manufacture chips but its designs are licensed and used worldwide in the mobile industry.
"It's huge. Imagine ARM's most powerful and technologically advanced 64-bit processor built on Intel's leading-edge fabs. A duo that will be hard to beat," explains Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight 64.
But this is just the beginning of a much larger endeavor for the chip giant as Intel is even willing to compete with semiconductor foundry leader TSMC for the business of its fiercest rivals, like Nvidia or Qualcomm.
"Intel will build Apple's, Qualcomm's Snapdragon or the Nvidia Tegra for the right price. Now, the question is, are they ready to pay that premium [to ARM] and feed their direct competitor? But that would actually make business sense for everyone," adds Brookwood.
With Intel ready to open up its leading-edge factories to whomever is willing to pay a premium, chip prices could actually come down, with the other foundries (TSMC, UMC, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, IBM or SMIC) feeling the pressure to compete.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by MadaBidyoni, Nov 19, 2012.
How fans are called?
Telephones, I would think.
Peter F Hamilton fans can call themselves Starflyers.
Found a few here:
Spice Heads.
Okay I just made that up.
I quite like that. I guess you could have 'Dibbers and Weirders as well. Damn, you could spend all night playing this game
Only by people who want a punch in the face.
They call themselves that all the time.
I used to think that Whedoniac was a term you'd use for a fan of Joss Whedon, and then discovered I couldn't find any references to anyone other than myself using the term.
Considering Dune is another word for desert I suggest Deserters!
I've also heard 'Whovian' used many times. Seems a bit awkward though.
I believe the most common name used for them is Whedonites.
MLB your mouth is talking.
^Yeah, you might wanna look to that.
Hey, I used the funny face!
Serious point though, it's not a term that British fans tend to use to describe themselves. I think it comes from American fandom, and it winds British fans up no end, hence my joke. We rubbed along for years just being called "Doctor Who fans".
I suggest you check out tumblr. Perhaps it's just the old guard that resists the Whovian term.
It may be more of a generational than nation thing.
Doggystyler? Cowgirler?
Never mind.
Yeah, it's totally lame. I don't think that many fans actually use it. It's more of a epithet. Generally it's just Star Wars fans that's used.
Maybe it's a bit of both? I don't know any other British fan who calls themself a Whovian (or who doesn't detest the term!) - but then I don't think I know any fan under the age of 35 either!
I know not this tumbler of whom you speak.
All these posts have been tagged "whovian":
And yes the majority of tumblr seems to be under 20, especially in hugely popular fandoms like Who.
Sorry. It was only intended as a "Deck the Halls" pun, but I can see how it might be misinterpreted. Won't happen again.
Separate names with a comma.

When not hanging out with MOA Members I hang out with many long-distance endurance riders of the Iron Butt Rally variety. While I can't say there are as many different schemes for GPS use and navigation as there are riders, that almost seems to be the case. At one end of the scale are riders who plan their routes on the computer, download the route to the GPS, and follow that route. At the other end of the spectrum are riders who navigate with a map and use the GPS to know exactly where they are and to find things like fuel or food. In between are those who plan on a map, enter some waypoints, and route waypoint to waypoint on the fly.
You can add to the mix the ability to have music, weather radar, pairing with a telephone, and other bells and whistles.
If you don't ride in much rain one of the inexpensive Garmin Nuvi units would be a good first GPS. I have an older Nuvi 265 that I use for its data tabble, detailed street level maps, and points of interest (gas, food, fuel, etc). It is mounted along side either a 276C or BMW Navigator III which I use for routing from waypoint to waypoint. I always have a map for overall routing and almost never ride the route (fastest or shortest) I can find on the GPS.
Voni uses a Garmin 2610 - she has had three of them over the years. I resisted giving up a voltmeter display and control buttons for years but find the Nuvi touch screen very nice to use.

I link my iPhone using google maps into my earbuds and set a destination. I usually have a paper map in the top window of my tank bag but find it very helpful to have voice commands in unfamiliar areas. Looking to upgrade to a more dedicated GPS - but can't quite justify the price of the full on motorcycle / waterproof units yet.
Thanks for all the advice, everyone.
For what it's worth, I found this: http://www.gpscity.com/pdfs/zumo3502013.pdf
It's a $100 rebate offer on the Zumo 350LM. I did check with Garmin, and the rebate offer is valid.
My fleet: 2015 R1200GS, 2017 Toyota Prius Prime (plug-in hybrid)
I love my BMW Nav IV (Garmin) I like that it is motorcycle specific and waterproof. Easy to operate since my car navs are also Garmin. Will work fine with gloves on too. I purchased the BMW mounting bracket and had the dealer install it.

- Brazilian Grand Prix
Ferrari considering Vettel protest
- Race:
- Brazilian Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Sebastian Vettel
Ferrari is "evaluating footage" from Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix that could result in it protesting the outcome of the race and ultimately the outcome of this year's drivers' championship.
The footage in question shows Sebastian Vettel overtake Jean-Eric Vergne's Toro Rosso while yellow warning lights are still illuminated in his cockpit. The suggestion is that he may have overtaken in a yellow flag caution zone, which is illegal, although immediately after the move a green light is showing and some versions of the footage appear to show a green flag waving at the pit exit - before he overtook Vergne.
Flags and trackside warning lights tend to take precedence over the in-cockpit light system, so if a green flag was waving at the marshal post at the end of the pit lane, Vettel was within his rights to make the pass.
Ferrari press officer Luca Colajanni told the Associated Press: "We're looking at the video. We have until tomorrow to file an appeal."
Under the FIA's Sporting Code an appeal, "The period during which an appeal in review may be brought expires on 30 November of the year during which the decision that is liable to review has been handed down, if that decision is likely to have an effect on the result of a championship."
Should an appeal be successful, the most likely outcome would be a post-race drive-through penalty, which would be handed out in the form of a 20-second penalty. If applied to Vettel's race time from Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix it would drop him to eighth, which would be enough to drop him behind Fernando Alonso in the drivers' championship.

EducationWatch: PS22 Chorus Saved By The Music
New York-based public school choir receives donation from VH1's Save The Music Foundation
Laurel Fishman
Staten Island, N.Y.-based Public School 22 Chorus received a $30,000 donation for a new keyboard lab from VH1's Save The Music Foundation in late September. Comprised of fifth-grade students, the PS22 Chorus has become a viral phenomenon in generating more than 11 million views of its performance videos on the Internet since 2006. PS22 Chorus Director Gregg Breinberg taught his students songs by artists such as Tori Amos, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, and Lady Gaga and recordings were posted on YouTube, generating both high viewer totals and international acclaim, and leading to the choir playing local festivals and opening for Australian alterna- rock band Crowded House in New York. Many of the students from PS22 come from disadvantaged backgrounds, with some in special education and ESL (English as a second language) programs. Now PS22 Chorus members will have new opportunities to create music using a new keyboard lab.
In related news, study results released earlier this year by Chorus America, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, substantiate that children who sing in choirs are more likely to experience scholastic and social improvement. As detailed in the organization's 2009 Chorus Impact Study, 80 percent of educators stated that children in choirs demonstrated improved academic achievement and social development, and 90 percent of educators said singing in a choir helps keep students engaged with school. Some 71 percent of parents responding to the survey said their choir-participating children have become more self-confident and self-disciplined, and 69 percent reported that their child's memory skills have improved. According to the study, of the estimated 42.6 million people singing in choruses nationwide, 10.1 million are children.
A NAMM Foundation-funded study released in late June found inner-city youth in secure residential treatment centers can greatly benefit from structured recreational music-making as part of their rehabilitation. Participating youngsters at the Bethesda Children's Home in Meadville, Pa., demonstrated significant improvements in both school and work performance and behavioral skills while experiencing less depression, negative self-evaluation, anger, and interpersonal problems compared to a control group not participating in music activities. Playing hand drums, other percussion instruments and an electronic keyboard allowed the music-making kids to express feelings nonverbally, which improved self-control, self-esteem, empathy, and tolerance.
Designed to recognize and encourage the professional development and career advancement of female music creators, ASCAP Presents… Women Behind The Music is a new series produced by ASCAP's Rhythm & Soul Team. The program kicked off in Atlanta on Aug. 25 with a showcase headlined by GRAMMY-winning songwriter Kandi Burruss. Women Behind The Music events were also held in Hollywood, Calif., and New York in September. The New York event featured an educational panel with songwriters Cri$tyle "The Ink" Johnson (Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body"), Kristal "Tytewriter" Oliver (Raheem DeVaughn's "Customer") and Pen Up Girls (Karina's "See You Later"). The panel punctuated the discussion by creating an original song, accompanied on piano by GRAMMY-winning songwriter/producer/keyboardist James Poyser.
With an international network of concerts showcasing music's power to raise awareness and reaffirm a commitment to tolerance and humanity, the 8th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days has been taking place throughout the month of October. The initiative was developed in response to the 2002 kidnapping and murder of The Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl by Pakistani extremists. In addition to being a journalist, Pearl was a musician who joined musical groups in every community in which he lived. Among those dedicating October musical performances to Pearl was the Kamuela Philharmonic, whose Waimea, Hawaii, concert playbill acknowledged music as a universal language that can "diminish hatred, respect differences and reach out in global friendship." Since 2002, Daniel Pearl World Music Days has grown to more than 3,100 dedicated performances in 85 countries.
Charles Snowdon, a University of Wisconsin-Madison psychology professor, and David Teie, a National Symphony Orchestra cellist and music teacher at the University of Maryland, recently released a study examining the effect of music on monkeys. For the study, Teie composed original music featuring characteristics similar to a monkey's frequency, tempo range and vocal expressions. The "fear" music evoked feelings of discomfort and anxiety, while "affiliative" music caused a calming effect. The study concluded that monkeys interpret rising and falling tones differently than humans, while also noting the monkeys were disinterested in listening to music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Miles Davis and Led Zeppelin but exhibited a calming response in listening to Metallica.

Clarkson University Prof Finds Lake Erie Algae and Ice Make a Nice Mix in Winter
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/sediment-trap.jpg .]
Ann Arbor, Mich. -- Clarkson University Biology Professor Michael R. Twiss has been working with colleagues and students from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Ontario, to study Lake Erie over the past five winters during mid-winter, a time when the lake is more than 70 percent covered by ice.
Twiss and his colleagues documented very high concentrations of algae thriving in the water below the ice and even within the ice itself -- this despite dark conditions and cold temperatures that were a fraction of a degree above freezing and expected to inhibit microbial growth.
These remarkably high concentrations of algae in the surface water under the ice in winter exceed blooms of algae observed in the spring. The growth of algae in winter also removes nutrients from the water so that nutrients are lower by the time spring arrives.
Both of these observations have important implications to managing the Lake Erie sport and commercial fishery -- multi-million dollar industries in the United States and Canada.
The voyages were made possible through collaborations with the Canadian Coast Guard, which operates a Class 1 icebreaker on the lake in the winter, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which has a scientific research vessel that conducts scientific monitoring during ice-free seasons.
The research will help guide lake managers in Canada and the United States, as they consider winter conditions in attempting to understand the ecology of Lake Erie, one of five that comprise the North American Great Lakes. This collaborative research will also help the State of New York and its neighbors better manage water quality and ecosystem function in Lake Erie.
"Since Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes, it is the both the coldest and warmest -- therefore, it is an important sentinel for climate change in the region and one we need to continue learning more about," says Twiss.
Results of the study, "Diatoms abound in ice-covered Lake Erie: An investigation of offshore winter limnology in Lake Erie over the period 2007 to 2010," are reported by Michael Twiss, Mike McKay, Rick Bourbonniere, George Bullerjahn, Hunter Carrick, Ralph Smith, Jennifer Winter, Nigel D'souza, Paula Furey, Aubrey Lashaway, Matt Saxton and Steve Wilhelm in Volume 38, No. 1, of the Journal of Great Lakes Research, published by Elsevier, 2011.
The Journal of Great Lakes Research is published by the International Association for Great Lakes Research (IAGLR), a scientific organization made up of researchers studying the Laurentian Great Lakes, other large lakes of the world, and their watersheds, as well as those with an interest in such research. IAGLR members encompass all scientific disciplines with a common interest in the management of large lake ecosystems on many levels.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

At least 10 Syracuse men's basketball players since 2001 have been allowed to practice and play after testing positive for banned substances when they should have been suspended, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Syracuse officials responded Monday by saying they informed the NCAA of possible problems with the university's testing policy and that the association is investigating the matter.
"We self-reported issues with drug testing to the NCAA, and there is currently an ongoing inquiry," Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs, said in a statement.
"The inquiry does not involve any current SU student-athletes," Quinn added. "To ensure the integrity of the ongoing process, we are unable to comment further at this time."
Athletic director Daryl Gross told the Syracuse Post-Standard that the university made its report to the NCAA "years ago." He echoed Quinn's statement that no players on this year's team are involved. The Orange are 30-1 and ranked second in the country.
"We know what kind of kids we have here. We have good kids who are in compliance with all NCAA rules and university policies," Gross told the Post-Standard.
NCAA spokeswoman Stacy Osburn said only that the self-report was more than a year ago.
In a three-month investigation, Yahoo! Sports talked to sources who said Syracuse violated its own drug policy in "failing to properly count positive tests; and playing ineligible players after they should have been subject to suspension."
No names of players were revealed in the Yahoo! report, but sources told the website that the group could include members of the 2002-03 team that won the national title.
"I don't know anything about it," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim told Yahoo!. "I would not comment on anything like that. Good luck with your story."
Boeheim declined to comment Monday when contacted via telephone by The New York Times. The NCAA has not commented.
Yahoo! reported that Syracuse could be subject to the NCAA's "Willful Violators" clause if it knowingly violated its policies. If that goes into effect, the four-year statute of limitations can be dismissed, Yahoo! reported.
The investigation revealed details of Syracuse's drug policy:
— With each penalty, the head coach is to be notified as well as the player's parents or guardian. The player was not subject to missed playing time, but had to attend drug counseling sessions and would be tested on a regular basis for the rest of the player's eligibility at Syracuse.
— Testing positive a second time meant automatic suspension from practice and playing. After drug counseling, the player could not return to the team until a counselor cleared him.
— Testing positive a third time meant the player "was subject to termination of eligibility and expulsion from school, barring special intervention by the athletic director."
Also in the report, two sources told Yahoo! that one player kept playing after failing four tests and another played after failing three.
The Yahoo report comes in the aftermath of the firing of former Syracuse assistant coach Bernie Fine. He was accused of sexual molestation by a former Orange ball boy and his stepbrother. While charges have yet to be filed against Fine, he was fired in late November.

This is an awesome service and got me looking in the right direction.
This worked for my dishwasher too! The left side of the door was leaking. I took the vent off, cleaned it, and now it has stopped leaking! yay! Just wanted to let you know that this must not be too uncommon.
I cleaned out the door vent and two holes on the upper spray arm, both of the very end holes on each end, that were plugged up. No more leaks.
I am so glad I stumbled across this sight.

Apple acquires indoor mapping firm
Apple has acquired a Silicon Valley start-up, WiFiSlam, which makes mapping applications for smartphones.
Apple confirmed the acquisition, but declined to give details. The news was reported by the Wall Street Journal, which quoted a person familiar with the matter as saying that Apple paid around $US20 million ($19.1m) for the company.
"Apple acquires smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans," an Apple spokesman said.
WiFiSlam develops technology that provides indoor tracking and similar services. Big tech companies such as Apple and Google have been racing to provide more and better map applications for users. Google's application, Google Maps, is widely accessed on Google's Android platform and Apple's rival iOS platform.
The acquisition of WiFiSlam follows Apple also purchasing Australian mobile app search engine Chomp in February last year for a reported $US50m.

Stratton holds first Vermont Open
STRATTON -- The Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships have left town, but in its place, is the first Vermont Open, which will take place March 14-17.
For nearly 30 years, the U.S. Open called Stratton Mountain its home. But last year, event organizers packed up and moved the show westward, to Vail, Colorado, where the Open wrapped up last week.
"The U.S. Open may have left, but the heart and soul of snowboarding lives on," said Pete Christy, entertainment organizer.
The three-day snowboarding competition will take place on the mountain's main face, where riders will compete in a rail jam on Friday, a halfpipe competition on Saturday, and a banked slalom race, called The Washed Up Cup, on Sunday. Prizes will be awarded to the best riders.
DJs, bluegrass and punk/ska bands will perform all weekend. Christy said the music will flow from the main base, to Grizzly's Bar, to the Green Door Pub, for some late-night entertainment.
From the kick-off party to the DJ's final beats on St. Patty's Day, slopeside music will be great accompaniment to the on-mountain throwdown. Competitors have access to all parties and events. For spectators, most music events are free.
Christy, the food and beverage manager at Green Door Pub, a restaurant near the mountain, said the event started to take shape when the mountain community pulled together to see through to its creation.
The Washed Up Cup is an actual trophy which resides at the Green Door, and Christy said winners have their name placed on the Cup that feature a dog-tag inscribed with their name.
Curt Gurry and Amy Herman will defend the Cup, which has sort of become the main event, according to Christy. And the halfpipe and quarterpipe contests are built as a "throwback" to old school snowboarding.
The committee in charge of the Open raised $10,000 for the event, and Stratton Resort matched that amount to create the prize pool.
Regular skiing and riding will be permitted during the Open. Registration is still open. Interested competitors can register at vermontopen.com, and general information can be found at stratton.com.
The first Vermont Open is sponsored by Stratton Mountain Resort, Foley Caterpillar, Vermont Country Store, Thebault Design, Tim Ward & Greg Gawlick, Sarah Garay, Wataah, Vew-Do Boards, Science Apparel, Gringo Jacks, Shut Skateboards, Ipath, Driven Studio.

DENVER Two young children and a woman were killed and a third child was wounded in a shooting at a northeast Denver house, police said Wednesday.
The wounded child was in critical condition at Denver Health Medical Center.
The shooting appeared to have been isolated, and there was no indication a shooter was on the loose, police Major Crimes Cmdr. Ron Saunier said.
Police declined to say whether it was a murder-suicide. The names and relationships of the victims werent immediately released. Relatives told Denver media outlets the woman was the mother of the children, and her husband had left their home Tuesday night to cool off after a quarrel.
Liliana Castro told The Denver Post the woman was her sister and that her sisters husband told her he had come home Wednesday morning to find the bodies.
Police Chief Robert White called the deaths a horrible tragedy.
The house where the bodies were found is in an industrial area of warehouses and a trucking terminal, near the National Western Stock Show complex.
Neighbor Debbie Martinez said the house was recently remodeled, and she saw a family of five two adults and three children move in about six months ago.
They seem like outgoing people. They didnt bother anybody, she said
