NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Lipscomb University Director of Cross Country and Track & Field, Bill Taylor, has announced the addition of former Bison Benton Reed to his coaching staff. Reed will serve as an assistant coach and as the program operations coordinator.
Reed's coaching duties will include cross country and track & field, with his primary focus being the development of the men's distance runners. He will be the primary recruiter for the men's cross country and distance athletes.
Coach Reed competed for Lipscomb Cross Country and Track & Field from 2008-2012. He served as a team captain for two years and qualified for the Atlantic Sun Championships multiple times.
In 2012-13 Coach Reed served as an assistant coach at The College of the South, a Division III university. In that role he assisted with coaching and recruiting distance runners and helped bring in one of the best recruiting classes in school history.
This past summer Reed married Lipscomb Cross Country and Track alumna Emily Longden. The couple moved back to Nashville, and Benton joined the Lipscomb Cross Country and Track programs as a volunteer assistant coach.
Taylor said, "We are really excited that Benton is here and was able to step into the position immediately. Benton is an incredible person and a very hard worker. He is a young coach with good experience, tons of potential and a huge desire to learn all he can. Being an alumnus, he knows our culture, understands our philosophy and wants to help Lipscomb reach the highest levels of success. He is a terrific fit and will do an incredible job here. I look forward to working with Benton, as we continue to build upon the success we have already had, and take the program to the top of the nation."
It was also announced that Jeremy Brading has joined the program as a volunteer assistant coach working with the pole vaulters.
"Jeremy is a great person and a huge asset as we develop our athletes in the pole vault. We have been growing in the vault and are rather young. His expertise and influence will make a huge impact."
One additional coaching staff announcement was made. Assistant Coach Luke Syverson will take on the duties and title of recruiting coordinator.

About this vehicle
Because we offer several of these vehicles, this vehicle details page is meant to show you our offerings for a specific model and color, not a specific vehicle. If you want to buy one of these vehicles, click the buy now button and that will connect you with a Sales Consultant. The Sales Consultant can then tell you what specific vehicles we have available in this category and you can look at things like mileage, price, and physical location.
What to expect when purchasing a DASHUB Select vehicle
The vehicles offered here are former rentals. The rental companies only let vehicles serve as rentals for so long, and then they are sold. We are offering you these vehicles for sale at ridiculously low prices (wholesale). Because this process might be different than anything you've done before, we're going to explain a little bit about what to expect when purchasing one of these vehicles.
Vehicle Condition
These vehicles are in very good driving condition and have been professionally maintained by the rental company. However, they were rental vehicles, so they may have minor dents and scratches, the tires' tread might be a bit low (or you might get lucky and get one with a newer set of tires on it), or you might see some curb rash. We try to save you money every step of the way, so we don't run these vehicles through a detailer, or through a body shop for these minor imperfections. Because of this, the vehicle may benefit from a bit of light reconditioning when you receive it. But it's your choice to do that work or spend that money.
Viewing the Exact Vehicle
Once you've selected the exact vehicle you'd like to purchase, we will work to obtain pictures of that vehicle for you so you can see it. In the meantime: use the stock images on this page to see if you like the general look and feel.
Vehicle Delivery
When you purchase a DASHUB Select vehicle it is delivered directly to you (an address of your choice). There is no option to pick up the vehicle yourself. We have a professional logistics department that will walk you through the entire process. Don't worry. It's easy. You select your vehicle, pay for it, and then it shows up where you want it.
All vehicles are AS-IS WHERE-IS. No refunds will be issued related to vehicle condition.

Are there any non-contractible connected topological rings?
Of course, such a thing cannot be a (topological) algebra over the reals.
(I have a vague memory of having a glance at an erticle by Lurie in which some (for me) rather esoteric theory of higher categorical structures gave rise to topological rings that would have some very nontrivial topology, but I know nothing about that field(s) and, well, I just don't remember... Maybe someone can provide less "esoteric" examples! :) )

Science-based organisations and Government need to make greater efforts to engage the public with the sciences, according to a new report 'Science for All' published on 9 February 2010 by The British Science Association, as part of the UK Science and Society strategy commissioned by the Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS). The Science for All Group's report, Science for All, was released along with a number of supporting documents.
Science-based organisations and Government need to make greater efforts to engage the public with the sciences, according to a new report 'Science for All' published on 9 February 2010 by The British Science Association, as part of the UK Science and Society strategy commissioned by the Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS). The Science for All Group's report, Science for All, was released along with a number of supporting documents.
FSTC is part of this important initiative in the person of Professor Salim Al-Hassani, Chairman of the Board of FSTC, who is member of the Science for All Group.
"Science for All" identifies an urgent need to build on approaches developed in recent years for engaging the public with science in new and fresh ways. It lays out a roadmap for all science-based organisations, government and other interested groups, to commit to take action. The report, commissioned by BIS from an expert group, draws on the Government's previous consultation, and on seven pieces of wider research.
Roland Jackson, Chief Executive of the British Science Association, who chaired the expert group said: "In our report we make explicit the different purposes and reasons for public engagement and set out a detailed action plan for increasing its effectiveness.
Widely shared ownership of the action plan is essential, since so many different organisations and people are involved in public engagement, for so many different reasons. We are therefore seeking to develop an open process for developing and implementing our recommended actions. We will be exploring ideas for this over coming weeks and welcome suggestions and offers to participate and contribute."
The report and action plan contains around 60 actions and proposed actions. It is hoped that societal groups will work in partnership with government, funders, employers and science communication organisations to deliver this action plan. Actions include:
- Ensure all public funders of the sciences have mechanisms in place to support and recognise public engagement
- All Government R&D contracts to the private sector to require delivery of an appropriate plan for public engagement
- Develop a competency framework for public engagement, and explore how these competencies might be embedded into existing or developing professional development frameworks
- All scientific research papers with any public interest dimension to have a plain English summary giving context and implications, for public and media consumption
- Set up a pilot 'public compact', to enable concerted action on national issues by government, public sector bodies, businesses and members of the public
- DCMS and publicly-funded cultural institutions to demonstrate commitment to recognising science as a part of our culture
- Explore and promote the role of social media as a mechanism for engagement with the sciences.
The report Science for All focuses on three key challenges identified by the Group:
First, public engagement is still a relatively new and emerging field, and our understanding of many aspects is only now developing. We therefore felt that a vital focus should be:
- A wider understanding of why, when and how the public engages with the sciences.
Second, although there are many organisations and individuals working in this area, and much parallel activity in different sectors, we discovered that there was a significant lack of joined-up working and sharing between those who are involved. We identified a further challenge therefore to develop:
- Supportive networks and mechanisms for increasing effective engagement
Third, although there is now compelling evidence of the vital role public engagement plays in sustaining a healthy culture for science, there are still significant barriers to individuals who wish to embrace engagement because of institutional cultures which marginalise or undervalue engagement. Our third challenge therefore is to work towards:
- A professional culture that values, recognises and supports public engagement with the sciences

News Coverage on Casino Gambling
Senator: Casinos Should Pay for 'Fair' ElectionsJessica Bakeman
A state Senator and reform advocate Monday proposed generating revenue for campaign finance reform by charging licensing fees to casinos in New York, should they be allowed to operate in the state.
Sen. Liz Krueger, D-Manhattan, and Bill Samuels, Rochester-native and chairman of Albany-reform group New Roosevelt, addressed arguments against using taxpayer dollars to finance elections by suggesting the state collect $8 million annually from each of seven casinos in licensing fees.
The Legislature voted last year to enact a Constitutional amendment allowing seven casinos to operate in the state. The newly elected Legislature would need to approve it again this year, and then the question would go to voters.
"We need to do public financing of campaigns in New York state. We need to get out of the business of having people with huge amounts of money and special interests deciding who wins elections in New York or even who has the right to run for election in New York State," Krueger said at a Capitol news conference Monday. "And we can do this with a relatively small amount of money every cycle."
Krueger said $56 million is a conservative estimate of what it would cost to finance elections.
Democrats and advocacy groups have pushed for a public option modeled after New York City's, which matches small campaign donations at a 6-to-1 rate. The aim would be to "level the playing field" for non-wealthy candidates.
Cuomo has said he supports publicly financed elections, and he is also trying to reform the state's disclosure laws.
Republicans have opposed using taxpayer dollars to fund elections.
"If we're going to bring casinos into New York state, let's have them pay for our campaigns," she said. "They are coming here to make an enormous amount of money from themselves."
Krueger said a fee of $8 million annually would not serve as a deterrent for casinos looking to locate in New York, as it would be a small percentage of what the prospective casinos' annual revenues.
The senator said she is "agnostic" on the casino issue – she could easily argue for or against legalizing them in the state. But she said she is a pragmatist, and she believes casinos will likely be allowed in New York regardless of whether she opposes it.
So she's pushing for there to be a public benefit from the casinos' operation – not only through collecting money for public education, but also for "fair elections."
Samuels offered several examples of when Cuomo advocated for publicly financed elections but questioned whether he has worked to bring that goal to fruition.
"We want to box him in," he said. "We're going to hold you accountable. And we want it to take effect in 2014, when you're running for re-election."
Cuomo said at a meeting in Albany Monday that there are many issues worth funding, not just campaign-finance reform.
"We have to fund education," he said. "We have to fund roads and bridges. We have people who need homes in the Rockaways—they have to be funded. We're rebuilding form Hurricane Irene; we have to finish doing that.
"We have a lot of important issues, and an indivudial legislator can have their own particular interest, but at the end of the day, we have to fund a lot of top priorities," he continued.

Fire Department Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a fire engine come when you call for an ambulance?
Because firefighters arrive first, and can begin medical treatment before the ambulance arrives. Time is a critical factor in the final outcome of a medical emergency. For example, if someone has experienced a heart attack, injury or illness that makes them stop breathing, the patient has a better chance of full recovery if they receive oxygen within four minutes or less.
Is Outdoor Burning Allowed in Lake Oswego?
No, all outdoor burning is illegal throughout the Portland Metropolitan area and is mandated by DEQ, not the Fire Department.
Recreational Backyard Burning Permits are allowed and can be obtained by contacting the Fire Marshal's office at 503-635-0275. There is no charge for the permit, but there are rules and regulations that you must comply with during a recreational burn.
Can you tell me whom to call to have my chimney inspected?
Look in the yellow pages under Chimney Sweep.
Where can I get my child safety seat inspected?
Lake Oswego Fire Department hosts a quarterly Child Safety Seat Clinic at the Main Fire Station located at 300 B Avenue. Check our "News and Event's" site for upcoming dates. Or, you can call the Child Safety Resource Center at 503-656-7207 for an appointment.
Does the Fire Department help get cats down from trees?
No. Cats eventually climb down on their own when they are hungry or thirsty.
Where can I get information on Smoke Detectors?
Call the Fire Marshal's Office at 503-635-0275 and ask to speak to a Fire Prevention Officer.

The impulse to strike out into the unknown, to see what's over the horizon is as old as humanity. Today, a whole new horizon beckons. Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to 9 billion Sun-like stars with planets similar to Earth. Astronomers are racing to find habitable worlds, including any that might exist in the neighborhood of our Sun. But if we find one, how will we ever get there? How long will it take? What rocket designs might one day conquer the voids of space? Faster Than Light! The Dream of Interstellar Flight will dazzle audiences with virtual rides aboard spacecraft of the future.

From Sharon Harvey Rosenberg: A Return to Frugal Living

Ballet Booty Yoga & My Cheap Discount on Yoga Blocks: $2.50 vs $10.99
Yoga blocks are those soft bricks that enable beginners & intermediate yoga wannabes to complete difficult poses & stretches. I've been waiting for a good price and we found yoga blocks for $2.50 each in the Dollar Store-esqe bins in the front of Target.
As a bit of comparison shopping, I walked to the back of the store and found yoga bricks in the sporting goods sections for $10.99 each. What a price difference.
Yoga is great for stress, conditioning and great for relieving pressure and strain in my wrists & hands. My yoga classes represent one of my best investments in my future.

My buddies rave about yoga. I should really try it something. I'm just not a sit around and contemplate type of gal though (despite the benefits).
- The Great Randovski said...
I'm a huge yoga fan. I can't function if I miss a session. My brother is on his high school crew team and he referred me this unbelievable DVD that shows how to do yoga techniques while you train as an athlete. The DVD is focused on rowing, but it has other applications as well. The concept is that with the breathing techniques, stretches and meditation the athlete will get a workout experience unlike any other... Supposedly, these breathing techniques do not allow the body to overtrain - whether you are a novice or an elite athlete. What's more, these various techniques essentially give you a high altitude workout at sea level... And, after every workout you are invigorated as opposed to being sore. It's pretty cool. A little expensive ($59.99) but it's absolutely worth it if you are a training athlete. The DVD is called "The Rower." They have a website that explains more about it:

Hey Kimber:
Thanks for your comment.
You may like power yoga. Lots of movement and activity.
Yoga push-ups are so brutal.
Great Randonvski:
I also hate to miss a session of yoga. A yoga workout makes me feel chilled, stretched out and blissed out. I work out with tapes and a personal trainer. I share the session with a group of women and have a session with my family also.

With 2 museums, a variety of gardens and endless miles of greenery, Golden Gate Park is perhaps best described as the playground of San Francisco. Originally home to massive sand dunes, construction began in 1871 to create a park that would be bigger than Central Park in New York. The green oasis now attracts 13 million visitors each year.
Civil engineer William Hammond Hall and horticulturist John McLaren together designed a public park filled with recreational amenities and a tremendous variety of flora and fauna. That was not exactly an easy task for a piece of fairly barren 'beach'; nevertheless, as many as 60,000 trees were planted within 4 years time. Over the years, the park was expanded and more and more and gardens, museums and other buildings were added.
The Japanese tea garden is an extremely popular part of the park. This garden was originally created for the 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition and comprises several winding trails, idyllic ponds, Japanese bridges and elegant sculptures – all brought together in perfect harmony. Naturally, there is also a tea house where traditional Japanese tea is served – with a fortune cookie.
The largest lake in Golden Gate Park is Stow Lake, where you can rent a boat or pedal boat and make your way around Strawberry Hill. This island is located in the middle of the lake and owes its name to the wild strawberries that once grew here. It is also the highest point in the park. Between the trees, you can enjoy fantastic views of the park, the Golden Gate Bridge and the city. The island can be accessed by 2 bridges that lead to the trail that ends at the top of the hill. Don't forget to check out the waterfall that crashes down from the rocks.
"Strawberry Hill offers fantastic views of the Golden Gate Bridge"
Right next to the beach at the west end of the park are 2 eye-catching structures: 2 Dutch-style windmills embedded in the green landscape. Since the soil in this area was still quite barren, these 2 windmills were needed to pump groundwater in order to irrigate the numerous grassy fields and gardens. Nowadays, they are no longer in use and serve as little more than decoration. At the foot of the North Windmill – also known as the Dutch Windmill – is the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden, which is in full bloom in March and April.
A real eye-catcher is the California Academy of Sciences, which opened in 2008 and was designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano. Sustainability was the primary focus during construction of the complex, which features a 'living roof': a complete garden with around 1.7 million plants.
Inside are the Morrison Planetarium, Steinhart Aquarium, Kimball Natural History Museum and the 4-storey Rainforest of the World dome. Worth visiting is the Earthquake exhibit, which simulates the worst earthquakes in the history of San Francisco (in 1906 and 1989). Visitors can relive the quakes in the Shake House: a reconstructed Victorian building with views of the famous coloured houses (the Painted Ladies) on Alamo Square. You can also clearly feel the difference between the 2 quakes. 'Fun' might not be the right word to describe this experience, but it's definitely sensational.

The Old Burial Ground is located in Harvard Square, on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Garden Street. Some history of the development of this site, provided by the Cambridge Historical Commission, appears below.
The first cemetery in Newtowne was "without the Common Pales" on the south side of Brattle Street, probably between present Ash Street and Longfellow Park. Being outside the perimeter fence, it was not safe from wild animals, and was discontinued before the West End fields were opened for settlement in 1634. No trace of this cemetery has been found.
The Old Burying Ground was established inside the pales before 1635. Initially, it covered only about an acre, but its size doubled as more of the Common was enclosed. The construction of Christ Church in 1760 established both the line of Garden Street and the western boundary of the cemetery, while the First Parish Church was built much later, in 1833. In many New England towns the burying ground was placed next to the meeting house, but that was never the case in Cambridge; here, the churches were built after the cemetery.
As the only cemetery in Cambridge for nearly two hundred years, the Old Burying Ground received a cross section of the population, from paupers to Harvard presidents. Burial spaces in the early years were not permanently marked, and the cemetery contains many more remains than are in the 1,218 known graves. Most of the monuments are slate headstones with scalloped shoulders. The oldest, dated 1653, belongs to Anne Erinton, but the stone may have been placed later, as headstones did not come into general use until the 1670s.
The earliest headstones have death's-heads of medieval origin. This motif changed to winged cherubs under the influence of the Renaissance and finally to graceful urn-and-willow patterns in the Neoclassic period. The late-17th- and early-18th-century gravestones are the most striking, with inventive epitaphs and details. The finest are the six stones by Joseph Lamson, whose straightforward naturalism and inventive use of detail are seen in the 1692 stone of William Dickson.
Interspersed among the traditional markers are the late-18th-century altar stones denoting the wealth and social standing of their owners, who were largely Anglicans. As in Britain, upper-class families wished to be interred in burial vaults rather than in caskets placed directly in the ground. The John Vassal tomb is the most elaborate. This structure marks an extensive subterranean vault; when last opened in 1862, it contained twenty-five caskets, including that of Andrew Craigie, who had acquired the family's Christ Church pew and burial plot along with the Vassal estate in 1792.

From staff reports
Lawrenceburg's Arin Nikki Harvey was awarded a $500 Power of Life Scholarship by the Kentucky Blood Center, the agency announced.
A graduate of Anderson County High School, Harvey plans to attend Kentucky State University this fall, according to a news release.
Since 2010, Kentucky Blood Center (KBC) has awarded more than 500 scholarships to Kentucky high schools that host blood drives. The school earns the award based on the number of donations at blood drives hosted by the school.

News staff
The news wasn't all bad during Monday's Anderson County Board of Education work session, but it was pretty darn close.
Board members heard a fairly dire review of the district's finances as they prepare to decide on a tax rate for the coming year.
The Anderson County School Board voted to extend bid requests for the old Glensboro Schoolhouse for an additional 30 days at its regular meeting Monday evening.
The schoolhouse, which has been sitting at the corner of the high school property since the 1990s, has sat vacant and deteriorated for years. In March, the school board was told that it is the rightful owner of the building and, in order to have the building removed, would need to, first, surplus it, then, pending the state's approval, accept bids for its removal.
When Saffell Street Elementary School Principal Todd Wooldridge decided to nix the idea of a Back to School Open House in favor of teacher home visits some questioned his decision.
"I think some in the community were nervous about it, but the kids and the teachers were excited about it. We are continuing work on building relationships with families outside the school building," he said. "It's always good for kids to see us outside the school setting, get on their own turf just to break the ice."
Anderson Community Education, located at 219 East Woodford St., Lawrenceburg has announced its schedule of fall classes.
For more information or to register for classes, visit the center, call 839-3754 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The center also offers community education programs including Students with a Goal for those 17 to 24 who need to further their education; Jobs Academy and workplace assessments; computer literacy; college preparation; Apple Corps; and Trailblazers volunteer opportunities.
Robert B. Turner open house Aug. 8
Open House at Robert B. Turner Elementary School is planned for Aug. 8.
Kindergarten, first, and second grades will visit from 4:45 to 5:30 p.m.
Third-, fourth-, fifth-graders will visit from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m.
Parents and students will be able to visit classrooms.
Refreshments will be served in the cafeteria.
TIPS night at ACHS Aug. 8
TIPS night at Anderson County High School from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 8.
Registration begins at 6 p.m.
Sixth grade open house set at ACMS
Anderson County Middle School will host an open house for incoming sixth-graders from 5:30 to 7 p.m. July 26.
The school supply list for sixth-graders is: Binder/Trapper Keeper; 8 three-holed pocket folders; markers, crayons, or colored pencils; composition notebook (science); 1 five-subject notebook (math); pencils; loose-leaf paper; 1 highlighter; index cards (literacy); and dry erase markers (math).
Daycare rates at Robert B. Turner Elementary School will drop $5. Rates at Saffell Street Elementary School will rise $5.
Currently, parents are charged $45 for one week of daycare per child. For families with more than one student, the cost of the second child is $35 per week or $10 per day.
"The goal is to ensure all daycares are self-sufficient and fund themselves," schools superintendent Sheila Mitchell said.
Several Anderson County teachers were among those honored during the 30th annual Excellence in Teaching Awards ceremony at Campbellsville University.
The university honored 199 teachers from 70 Kentucky school districts during the event, and announced "Pay It Forward" scholarships totaling nearly $200,000, according to a news release.
Each of the teachers honored will receive a $1,000 scholarship to be used toward any online master's degree program at the univer-sity.
Students graduate from EKU
Twelve area students were among the 1,909 graduates at Eastern Kentucky Uni-versity recently.

As I've mentioned in previous posts I feel lucky that in my job I get to meet some pretty amazing characters who have contributed to this nations history. I came across an elderly gentleman the other day who had slipped out his chair at home. I was working a day shift on an RRV and was sent to assess him and stand the crew down if need be.
Not knowing the extent of inury, if any, I took the full kit and caboodle with me into the address. I was initially welcomed by his wife "Thank you Doctor for arriving so quickly!" I explained that I was a Paramedic and I would check her husband and see what we could do for him. On being led into the living room I was introduced to "Harry" (name changed for confidentiality).
Harry was sat in his armchair and seemed uncomfortable. For someone who was approaching his 84th birthday he looked remarkably fit for his age. Harry cut to the chase and explained that he did not want to go to hospital and all that was wrong was his legs were getting more and more tired easily. A very active chap Harry still danced at the local City Hall and other venues on a weekly basis with his wife.
Medically wise he had no history of trauma or any pre-existing conditions. Apart from a history of "wear & tear" on his back from years of jumping out of planes! Harry explained that he was a former Paratrooper and had seen action during the Second World War. Recently he had been on a 12 hour coach trip which had played havoc with his circulation and caused pain and stiffness in his legs and joints. This he put down as to why his legs were getting tired and the reason he had slipped out of the chair.
After assessing Harry and taking the normal obs I had contacted control and stood the crew down and was advising Harry to be seen by his GP. In these situations I tend to contact the GP myself so I can pass on any observations or concerns first hand. It also ensures that the patient will not get fobbed off as so often happens. A home visit was arranged for around lunch time and whilst I completed the necessary paperwork to leave for the GP I was treated to a perfect cup of tea and some biscuits. (This was turning into a most pleasant shift!)
I asked Harry about his regiment and he went on to say how on D Day his company lost a third of its men and by the third day of the invasion there was only twelve of them left! He had been involved in bitter street fighting with the Germans as his unit had been deployed on the wrong side of the river near to their objective and so had found themselves "in the thick of it! " Paratroops in the British Army were still relatively new and lots of experimental devices were used for transporting kit. Most of this was attached to the paratrooper whilst jumping. And most of it failed according to Harry!
Harrys wife was amazed at his openness of his exploits around D Day and she said that he had never talked about the war before. So I felt honoured that Harry trusted me to share in his memories. At times he was bitter in retelling some of the horrific events that he saw and even took part in. After the war he met his wife and settled down but kept active as much as possible. The few bad landings from his parachuting days had left him with back problems and limited mobility in his neck but he never let this stop him from doing anything.
Paperwork signed, kit collected and with a firm shake of Harrys hand I left him to await the GP. A very proud man was Harry…and it made me check myself that my life, my job and any problems I had were nothing in the great scheme of things.
"What manner of men are these who wear the Red Beret?"

Bt is paying big benefits, for farmers who plant Bt corn hybrids and even for producers who don't.
In a recent study published in the journal Science, agricultural researchers estimate farmers in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin received cumulative economic benefits of nearly $7 billion between 1996 and 2009 through the planting of Bt corn hybrids, with benefits of more than $4 billion for non-Bt corn farmers alone.
Scientists estimated that in Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin, corn borer populations in adjacent non-Bt fields declined by 28 to 73 percent, with similar reductions recorded in Iowa and Nebraska.
Researchers attribute the collateral benefits to areawide suppression of corn borers.
In the February 2010 issue of Farm Industry News, we reported that Michael Gray, extension entomologist, University of Illinois, credits the low corn borer populations to the high use of Bt corn hybrids. (http://farmindustrynews.com/business/20-things-you-need-know-now?page=6)
Researchers noted that the value of the Bt technology highlights the importance of adherence to refuge requirements to slow the corn borer's ability to develop resistance to Bt.

Early Birds May Get Better Grades in College
Getting more ZZZ's at night doesn't necessarily translate to more A's on report cards, according to a new study that examines college students' sleeping habits.
The study -- presented last month at "SLEEP 2011," a meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies -- found that although a class schedule with later start times allows college students to get more sleep, it also gives them more time to stay out drinking at night. As a result, their grades tend to suffer.
"Later class start times seemed to change the choices students make: They sleep longer, and they drink more," said co-lead author Pamela Thacher, associate professor of the Department of Psychology at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y.
Thacher speculated that drinking more alcohol, which is known to disrupt sleep, may reduce the benefits of getting more sleep.
"The effects of later class start times might include more sleep," she said in a news release. "But this might be offset by lower quality sleep, which in turn might affect their ability to engage, intellectually, with their coursework."
At the University of Colorado, students say they try to craft their schedules around the times they feel most awake.
Nyall Hasty, a CU junior, was taking a late afternoon biology course.
"I just woke up from a nap," he said, as he emerged from his class at about 4 p.m. He said he dozed off during a lecture on photosynthesis.
Ideally, he'd take classes from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., he said, because he gets sleepy in the afternoon. He agrees with the study that when students have later classes it tempts them to stay out later.
CU junior Ariel Aguilar, who is studying computer science and psychology, said she tends to stack her classes up in the morning. During her freshman year, Aguilar said, she made the mistake of taking to many continuous classes that ran late into the afternoon and would fall asleep in her programming course.
Thacher, co-author Serge Onyper and their research team studied 253 college students.
The authors noted that the results are much different from previous studies of school start times in middle and high school. Those studies show numerous benefits of later school start times, which tend to decrease truancy, improve mood and indirectly promote learning.
In a study published in 2008 in Behavioral Sleep Medicine, Thacher found that 60 percent of student participants at a liberal-arts college reported engaging in a single night of total sleep deprivation once or more since starting college. Statistical analyses found that pulling an "all-nighter" was associated with lower grades.

Veteran POWs recall misery of North Korean captivity
-- Pictured giggling on a park
bench, 89-year-old Lee Soon-sang and his
wife, Kim Eun-hae, look as though they met
just yesterday.
In fact, they married more than 60 years ago.
But for half a century, Kim believed her
husband was dead, missing in action during
the Korean War (1950-53).
Then in August 2004, a telephone call came
from China. "I thought someone was trying
to make money off me. I got many calls like
that over the years from China, but I didn't
pay attention," she said.
READ: Chosin: The battle Hollywood
This was no ordinary call. The voice on the
other end of the line shook her to the core.
It really was her husband.
"I asked, 'Are you really alive?'
He answered, 'Yes, I am alive.'
Then I asked if he knew so and
so, and he did know them.
That's how I knew it was real."
When they finally met, they
barely recognized each other.
"He was so skinny, he was
wobbling in," recalled Kim. "I
could only recognize his nose."
In contrast Lee couldn't
believe how well fed his wife
looked. "She looked like one of
those landlords from the old
days," he said. "And the
propaganda, that all South
Koreans are starving to
death ... that Americans are
taking all the rice and only
giving back rotten flour ... I
only heard this kind of
propaganda, so I thought she
was dead.
"We just held each other and
Lee Soon-sang had been
captured by the North Korean army in 1953,
two days before the Armistice was signed.
He spent three-and-a-half years in a
prisoner of war camp and was then sent to
work in the notorious coalmines at Aoji,
North Korea -- also a production site for
gunpowder. There he had remarried and had
children -- though he said he never forgot
about life before the war. "Life in North
Korea was hard', he said. "So I always
thought about my hometown. Even though I
believed my wife was dead, I always thought
I'd go back one day."
Decades later, in 2004, a "broker" got in
touch -- they are middlemen who make their
living smuggling people in and out of North
Korea. "He told me that Kim Eun-hae and my
son were in China with lots of money, that I
should take the money and go back to North
Korea to live a better life."
Aged 77 by then, he had managed to save up
20,000 North Korean won (approximately US
$150) selling cigarettes. "In North Korea,
that's a lot of money. You could buy a small
house with that. I gave that to my wife and
said, 'I'm going to pick acorns, I'll be back in
two or three days.' That's how I left."
He said he meant to return. But he never
He won't talk about the family
he left behind. "I'm happy
now. You're my wife," he told
But the bitterness of his
choice is a reality for many
whose lives and loyalties were
split by a divided Korea.
Why the Korean War still
matters Lee attends a lunch organized
for prisoners of war like him --
a group of about a dozen men
who meet three times a week,
all of whom were held captive
in the North long after the
1953 Armistice agreement
when Pyongyang agreed to
return all prisoners of war.
Kim Sung Tae left his adopted daughter
behind in North Korea when he fled in 2001.
"How can we see each other unless there's
reunification?" He's 81. He does not expect
to see her again.
He described the terrible hardships of his life
in North Korea, especially the six months he
spent in a prisoner of war camp. "We were
fed just a few hundred grams of grain a
day," he recalled. "I would wake up in the
morning and grab handfuls of lice from my
body. That was normal."
For more than a decade after, his life was
spent in a succession of regular prisons,
often in solitary confinement in a cell no
larger than the size of a crouching man.
"When I came back to South Korea, I asked
them to take me to a prison here so I could
compare. It was like paradise. South Korean
prisons treated their prisoners better than
North Korea treated their citizens."
According to South Korea's Defense Ministry,
8,343 former servicemen have returned to
the South since 1953. Eighty of those men
escaped through a third country decades
after the Armistice was signed. Based on
their testimony, the Seoul government
believes there are still some 500 POWs living
in the North. Kim Sung Tae feels the
government should do more to bring them
Recently, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihi-jae
repeated his call for North Korea to resolve
the issue of former servicemen and other
abductees kept by the North. Pyongyang
claims they are there of their own free will.
And in the absence of actual talks between
the two countries, Seoul has little leverage to
orchestrate their release.
Men like Lee Soon-sang and Kim Sung Tae
are living proof that Pyongyang is wrong. But
many Korean war veterans are now well into
their eighties -- no longer at an age where
fleeing across treacherous borders is
particularly feasible. Men whose fate was
sealed when they were taken prisoner 60
years ago may never see freedom again.

JOHNNY Mullins has left Oxford United after his loan was ended by Rotherham United.
The Millers are facing an injury crisis, so exercised the 24-hour recall option on the defender's deal with the U's.
It is a significant blow for United, with Mullins one of their most consistent performers since joining last month.
The 27-year-old made eight appearances, scoring twice.
U's boss Chris Wilder said: "Johnny has done well for us but we understand the situation at Rotherham with injuries and their decision to recall both of their loan players.
"These things happen in football and we move on."
Michael Raynes, Harry Worley and Andy Whing are in contention to fill the gap in central defence for United's home game against Northampton Town on Saturday.

Review: Cut The Rope
Cut the rope is one of the more famous iPhone games, being famous as a casual game, and is not dissimilar to angry birds in terms of fame and ease of play. It was released in 2010 as a paid app, with a free version, a "Christmas gift" becoming available in Christmas the same year, with a unique set of levels, with a Christmas theme to the levels, which can act as a sort of demo for the game, for anyone unwilling to pay money based on concept alone.
The basic concept behind the game is a physics based puzzle around the game mechanic of cutting ropes (as the name of the game suggests) and trying to get a large piece of candy into a monsters mouth. This is done through cutting ropes to free the candy, and cutting specific ropes free (using touch to simulate the slicing of the rope) to swing the candy in specific directions through the use of cutting specific ropes at specific times so that the candy gains the correct momentum when it is completely free of all constraints.

Related Product Information
Fix and Perm reagents are designed for use with all commercially available flow cytometers. Alignment and compensation should be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Typical staining and scatter patterns are shown below in Figure 1.
Clinical Research Applications: Flow cytometric analysis with monoclonal antibodies has historically been restricted primarily to cell surface molecules. For this reason, intracellular antigens such as cytoplasmic or nuclear enzymes, oncoproteins, cytokines, immunoglobulins, etc., were largely excluded from such analysis. Also excluded have been cytometric studies designed to address the cytoplasmic localization of some well established membrane-associated molecules such as CD3 and CD22. Fix and Perm reagents allow intracellular antigen analysis with the equivalent ease as cell surface antigens. The only prerequisite is the availability of suitable antibody conjugates. Most commercially available monoclonal antibody conjugates can be used with the FIX & PERM reagents. However, some determinants are sensitive to the fixation step. This and optimal fixation time may have to be empirically determined for each antibody conjugate.

Materials Required but Not Included:
Phosphate Buffered Saline containing 0.1% NaN 3 and 5% FBS
12 x 75 mm tubes
Sheath Fluid
Pre-cooled Absolute Methanol
Use of Fix & Perm Reagents:
Fix and Perm reagents are intended for the fixation (Reagent A) and permeabilization (Reagent B) of cells in suspension. This procedure facilitates antibody access to intracellular structures and leaves the morphological scatter characteristics of the cells intact. Specific formulations reduce background staining and allow simultaneous addition of permeabilization medium and fluorochrome-labeled antibodies.
Storage and Stability:
Fix & Perm reagents should be stored and used at room temperature. They are stable for the period shown on the package label when stored as directed. Do not use reagents if a precipitate forms or discoloration occurs. All antibody combinations should be stored at 2-8°C in the dark.
Fix & Perm Kit Components should never be frozen.
Warning: Reagent A of the FIX & PERM Kit contains formaldehyde which is toxic, allergenic and a suspected carcinogen. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. All antibodies contain sodium azide as a preservative.
- For each sample to be analyzed add appropriate volume of the conjugated antibody directed to the cell surface marker(s) of interest and/or the appropriate isotype control(s) to a 5 ml, 12 x 75 mm tube.
- Pipette appropriate volume of adjusted cells (equivalent to 1 x 106 cells) into each tube containing the conjugated antibody or isotype control.
- Vortex each tube gently to mix, and incubate for 15 minutes in the dark at room temperature.
- Add 100 μl of Reagent A (Fixation Medium) and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Wash once in 3 ml PBS + 0.1% NaN3 + 5% FBS.
- Centrifuge for 5 minutes at 300-350 x g, aspirate the supernatant, and vortex to fully resuspend the cell pellet.
- Add 100 μl of Reagent B (Permeabilization Medium) and the recommended volume of the FITC- and/or PE- conjugated intracellular antibody or the corresponding isotype control.
- Vortex 1-2 seconds and incubate for 20 minutes.
- Wash once in 3 ml PBS + 0.1% NaN3 + 5% FBS.
- Centrifuge for 5 minutes at 300-350 x g and aspirate the supernatant.
- Resuspend cells in sheath fluid for immediate analysis or in 0.5 ml of 0.1% paraformaldehyde fixative solution for storage at 2-8ºC in the dark. Fixed cells should be analyzed within 24 hours.
A modification of this protocol using precooled absolute methanol has been shown to give better results for certain cell cycle antigens such as BrdU, Ki-67, and PCNA when using FITC-conjugated antibodies. This modification is not recommended when using PE-conjugated antibodies.
Methanol Modification
- For each sample to be analyzed, add 100 μl of adjusted cell volume (equivalent to 1 x 106 cells) to an appropriate 5 ml, 12 x 75 mm tube.
- Add 100 μl of Reagent A (Fixation Medium) and incubate for 2–3 minutes at room temperature.
- Add 4 ml of pre-cooled absolute methanol (0–4°C) and vortex.

When you listen to surround sound you'll notice quite a few improvements over stereo:
• The sonic clarity is enhanced because the center channel anchors the sound and eliminates any phantom image shifts that we take for granted in stereo.
• There is no sweet spot per se. — Actually, the whole room becomes a sweet spot in that you can move around freely and never loose the sense of clarity, dimension and spatial continuity. One listener described it perfectly as an "audio sculpture" in that, just like

International Law Enforcement Academy Has Grand Opening, Feb. 6, 2006
by Jack Swickard, 505.624.7729
ROSWELL, N.M., Feb. 22, 2006 — The grand opening of a $5.4 million building to house the International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) was held on Wednesday, February 22, by members of the state's Congressional delegation and top officials of New Mexico Tech.
See ILEA homepage.
U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce and Daniel López, president of New Mexico Tech, were the featured speakers at the event, which was held at the Roswell International Air Center.
Thirty-four senior law-enforcement officers from the African countries of Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique, South Africa and Swaziland attended the grand opening, along with government officials from throughout the state.
(Left to right: Dr. Daniel H. López of New Mexico Tech; Rep. Steve Pearce; Mrs. Joseph Skeen; Sen. Pete Domenici)
After the grand opening speeches, Domenici, Pearce, López and Mary Skeen, wife of the late U.S. Rep. Joe Skeen of New Mexico's Second Congressional District, flipped switches and cut the ribbon with a small explosion.
"My friend Joe Skeen and I began our efforts to bring ILEA to Roswell in 1999. I know Joe would be very proud to see this project come to fruition. ILEA helps bring strong international partnerships and sound law enforcement strategies to combat crime across the globe. By training foreign law enforcement officials in criminal justice matters, we are benefiting both our partner nations and our own country through future alliances and opportunities to work together," Domenici said.
On Tuesday, Domenici and Representative Steve Pearce applauded a decision by the State Department to extend the New Mexico Tech team's contract to operate ILEA another five years. The pair wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in May of last year advocating the extension. ENMU-Roswell, Sam Houston State University and SAIC partner with New Mexico Tech to operate ILEA.
"It is fitting that with a new building comes a new operating agreement. This extension means that the same great team headed by New Mexico Tech will continue to provide their expertise to law enforcement around the world. Not only is it good for our efforts to fight crime and terrorism, but its also good for the local economy and diversity of Roswell," Domenici said.
Dignitaries attending the opening included Roswell Mayor Bill Owen; Iris Chavez, representing U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman; Thom Browne of the U.S. State Department; Judy Armstrong, provost of ENMU-R; Richard Ward, dean at Sam Houston State University of Huntsville, Texas; and David F. Williams, Jr., vice president of Science Applications International Corp.
Ground was broken for the Academy's new classroom and administration building in January 2005.
The 24,500-square-foot building will enable as many as 100 students to receive instruction in up to six languages, plus English. The building's unique features include high-tech interpretation booths, a high-speed, wireless computer network, and a fountain that runs inside and outside the building.
When the International Law Enforcement Academy opened for classes in September 2001, it operated from temporary quarters at the ENMU-R Performing Arts Center. The classroom at the center could accommodate up to 35 students.
The following year, the Academy moved to remodeled quarters at the former Walker Air Force Base NCO Club just south of the new building on Gail Harris Drive. This structure included a classroom that could seat 50 students.
The Academy has shared the building and grounds with the Youth Challenge Program.
To date, 1,866 students from 68 countries have attended senior management courses at the Academy. Classes have been taught in 25 languages through the use of simultaneous interpreters assigned by the State Department's Office of Language Services.
Some of the countries that have sent students — mid- and senior-level law-enforcement officials — to the Academy are Latvia, Uzbekistan, Swaziland, Croatia, Costa Rica, Russia, Malaysia, the People's Republic of China, Cambodia, Uganda, Moldova, Paraguay, Mauritius and Hungary.
Students at the Academy have included the head of environmental law enforcement for Brazil, an art theft investigator from Poland, prosecutors from Namibia, and a member of the core group reforming Philippine National Police.
The senior management courses taught at the Academy are divided into four modules:
- Criminal Justice in a Global Environment
- Modern Policing Strategies
- Key Issues in Policing
- Global Trends and Emerging Issues in Transnational Crime
Classes range from discussions on leadership and human resources to ethics in policing and the effects of corruption. Human rights receive strong emphasis in the program.
Van Romero, vice president for research and economic development at New Mexico Tech, oversees the Academy program. Frank Taylor, retired New Mexico State Police chief, is general manager of the Academy.
The Academy was established in Roswell and New Mexico through the efforts of Sen. Domenici and Rep. Skeen.

Whether you play Monopoly, the craps table at your local casino, or a game of Warhammer, we're sure you're all familiar with dice - those little cubes of luck and chance.

I was never a Fighting Fantasy sort of person - I was, in fact, more of a Choose Your Own Adventure kid - but regardless, the same is true of all of them. You'd play along for a few rounds and some kids would take far more seriously than others, but inevitably you'd give up and 'bookmark' your way to the seemingly impossible ending (possibly ignoring dice rolls in the process).

Our Jive instance is called Matrix (matrix.juniper.net)
Short and catchy and make sure the URL matches
Avoid Jive's product nomenclature since this has changed multiple times (ClearSpace -> Jive SBS -> Engage).
Be aspirational about what you want the system to provide or be at your company
Riffing off of your company's culture never hurts
Re: Branding the Communitytmaurer Feb 28, 2012 2:20 PM (in response to delmblad)
Avoid anything that is going to box in or limit what people think your solution delivers, and think both current employees as well as newcomers.
To Kevin's point above, if it isn't short and catchy, it will be like naming your kid Alexander - it will get a nickname, and not necessarily one that you get to approve of or that carries the appropriate meaning.
Re: Branding the Communityjessekane Feb 28, 2012 2:44 PM (in response to delmblad)
I agree with both Kevin and Tracy. As a communications person first, I strongly believe everything should tie back to your overarching corporate brand. But beyond that, approach your design with a clean slate so that your site is more about what you want to be, not where you're at now. We've done that with our site which aligns with our corporate brand, but otherwise looks, feels and reads very different from any other intranet we have today. Below is a sample of our help community. In our old way of thinking, we would have called it something like "User Training Resources Library" instead of the simple and "Self Help."
Re: Branding the CommunityAndrew Kratz Feb 28, 2012 2:53 PM (in response to delmblad)1 person found this helpful
Naming your community is also a great opportunity to "get social" and run brainstorming session(s), crowd-sourcing, or a contest to name the site. Of course the irony is you don't yet have a social network to do any of this, but the old school tools will suffice for now. If you are thinking through adoption of the platform you are probably already looking to pull in "early adopters" to help your roll out be a big success. Consider using those early adopters to help name the site. Getting their buy-in is critical and by having them involved in activities such as this makes it "their community" instead of a corporate roll-out. That pays dividends down the road!!
We had a very traditional hierarchy as a large company so we conducted a contest but we made sure that the 7 or 8 choices we gave were all cleared with legal and the management team. So those details just depend on your culture and level of empowerment.
Happy to discuss further if you like.
Good luck!!

I agree that branding names should be kept short and simple, but another option you can offer to your stakeholders would be to add to character into your Community brand. As part of our adoption strategy, we have an avatar character that helps users learn the basics, tips and tricks to Community from our "Community Ambassador." A visual with a character may help!

We used the ideation module in Jive itself to collect and vote on ideas. Before we named the community, we just called it Jive. The nice thing about the ideation is that people can vote up as well as down. We ended up choosing the name that did not get any down votes, which we thought was very important for a global company, since some people were voting down due to the fact that the name would be hard to say in their language or have awkward connotations. Coincidentally, that one also ended up with the highest score.
As far as addressing the concerns of legal, internal comm, etc., we kept our contest open ended. We didn't promise that we would pick the one with the most votes necessarily. Nor did we have a drop-dead date by when we would close the voting. That gave us the leeway to close it when we thought we had a good option, and avoided the risk of having to go with the highest vote at a certain point in time. We also encouraged the people who had concerns about the appropriateness of the options to vote and tell others to do the same. Without being sneaky, they got their voice heard, and we all ended up happy.
Our community is named Vox, by the way. It's from the Latin Vox Populi, which means "Voice of the People."

Hello Deana.
Here at Bupa we've had our Jive platform for almost 3yrs now - and we called it "Bupa Live".
Not hugely imaginative, but we thought that the word 'Live' suggested a move of conversation and assets to a Live, Global Community, available 24 hours and accessible anytime, anywhere.

At Column we call it Column Knowledge since that is remains the sites main focus. If we expand it to other areas we may call it Column Connect or something more universal.
Re: Branding the Communityannemarie.steen Mar 2, 2012 3:25 AM (in response to delmblad)
Hi Deana,
This is how we did it.
We had some brainstormsessions about the name and our desired goals for use with the early adoptersgroup.
We chose to name our Jive "Meetingpoint 2.0", because people were allready used to the name Meetingpoint for our former sharepointsystem.
Then we had a logo designed with a pay off "explore your circle".
We tied the introduction of "MeetingPoint 2.0" to an allready planned event (our annual inspirationevening).
Invited all participants (45) the next day to join the group "Inspirationevening"
Put up posters in our different companies with photo's of the early adopters, with the text "Meet me @MeetingPoint"
Made some fun movies about using Jive in the Getting Started Space
Within 4 weeks we had our desired 150 members sign up.
Now we're 5 months later. I believe everybody knows the name. About 20% is active user.
With enthusiasm,
Annemarie Steen

Congressional Staffers Told To Pretend NSA Leak Docs Don't Exist; So How Are They Supposed To Respond?
from the i-prefer-not-to-be-governed-by-the-insane deptLast week, we thought it was ridiculous enough that the DoD (of which the NSA is a key part) had reminded all staff that they were not allowed to look at any of the leaked NSA documents, even if they came across them in the press. If they spotted any, they had to alert various security officials and delete what they saw "by holding down the SHIFT key while pressing the DELETE key for Windows-based systems and clearing of the internet browser cache." As we noted at the time, pretending these documents aren't public does not make much sense, and suggests a government agency that does not want to live in reality.
Now we can add Congress to that list as well. Senate staffers have now been told not to look at the leaked documents, and similarly that they need to "contact the Office of Senate Security for assistance" if they happened across any of the documents accidentally. Once again, this is insane because it means Congress should deny reality and pretend to live with its collective head in the sand -- which is no way to govern.
However, the much bigger deal is that if this were actually obeyed (and it's not), this would effectively hinder Congress's required duty of oversight of the NSA to prevent abuse. If the very Congress that's supposed to monitor the NSA's practices, and which has already been directly lied to by the intelligence community is now being told that it can't even look at the leaks to understand what's going on, how the hell are they supposed to do their oversight job?
Furthermore, last week, we pointed to some video of Rep. Grayson on the House floor giving an impassioned speech about the leaks... and displaying many of the leaked NSA docs blown up on an easel. If Congress isn't allowed to look at them, but Congress is also presenting them on the floor of the House and broadcasting live on C-SPAN and YouTube for the world to see... was the rest of Congress just supposed to avert its eyes while Grayson spoke? Is that a reasonable world?

Poor finishing upsets Mancini
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini bemoaned his side's finishing ability after making hard work of their 3-1 victory over QPR.
QPR withstood considerable pressure to cancel out Yaya Toure's opener through Bobby Zamora and it needed a quick response from Edin Dzeko to restore City's lead. Ryan Nelsen went close to another equaliser late on but Carlos Tevez gave the scoreline a more convincing look with his fourth goal of the campaign in injury time.
Mancini, for whom the match was his 100th in charge in the Premier League, told ESPN: "I think we played well in first half, but we have one problem at the moment - when we have a chance to score we don't score and the game can change. We had this problem in the first game and against Liverpool."
He added: "In the second half we didn't play well. We were too slow, but in the end it's important that we took three points."
City goalkeeper Joe Hart kept 17 clean sheets last season but Zamora's close-range header means he has still not recorded one this term. But with seven points from three games, captain Vincent Kompany does not think alarm bells should be ringing yet.
The Belgium international said: "No it doesn't matter. We've always proved to be solid come difficult times. Come December, January and February we'll show it. At this time everyone tries to play the game nicely. We left ourselves exposed but at the end of the season we won't do that."
The defeat left QPR still looking for their first win of the season while their former City boss Mark Hughes is still to triumph away from home since taking charge. But Rangers are much changed from the side which narrowly avoided relegation having signed 12 new players over the summer.
Hughes felt his side were unfortunate not to take something from the game. He said: "I think we are a little bit disappointed. In the first half we restricted them to a few chances and the most problems we had were from set pieces. In general play I thought our shape was good.
"But we were working hard without putting them under enough pressure to affect the game going the other way. I thought we addressed that in the second half and really put a shift in and caused them some problems. I thought we were in control of the game.
"Obviously when we equalised it was a real body blow to concede so soon after that. If we had maintained the position at 1-1 maybe we could have caused them even more problems."
