Smoking prevalence is higher amongst individuals with schizophrenia and depression compared with the general population. Mendelian randomisation (MR) can examine whether this association is causal using genetic variants identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
We conducted two-sample MR to explore the bi-directional effects of smoking on schizophrenia and depression. For smoking behaviour, we used (1) smoking initiation GWAS from the GSCAN consortium and (2) we conducted our own GWAS of lifetime smoking behaviour (which captures smoking duration, heaviness and cessation) in a sample of 462690 individuals from the UK Biobank. We validated this instrument using positive control outcomes (e.g. lung cancer). For schizophrenia and depression we used GWAS from the PGC consortium.
There was strong evidence to suggest smoking is a risk factor for both schizophrenia (odds ratio (OR) 2.27, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.67–3.08, p < 0.001) and depression (OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.71–2.32, p < 0.001). Results were consistent across both lifetime smoking and smoking initiation. We found some evidence that genetic liability to depression increases smoking (β = 0.091, 95% CI 0.027–0.155, p = 0.005) but evidence was mixed for schizophrenia (β = 0.022, 95% CI 0.005–0.038, p = 0.009) with very weak evidence for an effect on smoking initiation.
These findings suggest that the association between smoking, schizophrenia and depression is due, at least in part, to a causal effect of smoking, providing further evidence for the detrimental consequences of smoking on mental health.
The Mid-Atlantic Twin Registry (MATR) is a population-based registry of more than 60,000 twins primarily born or living in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Researchers may utilize the MATR for administration of research services, including study recruitment, data or sample (e.g., DNA) collection, archival dataset creation, as well as data collection through mailed, phone or online surveys. In addition, the MATR houses the MATR Repository, with over 1700 DNA samples primarily from whole blood available for researchers interested in DNA genotyping. For over 40 years MATR twins have participated in research studies with investigators from a range of scientific disciplines and institutions. These studies, which have resulted in numerous publications, explored diverse topics, including substance use, smoking behaviors, developmental psychopathology, bullying, children's health, cardiovascular disease, cancer, the human microbiome, epigenetics of aging, children of twins and sleep homeostasis. Researchers interested in utilizing twins are encouraged to contact the MATR to discuss potential research opportunities.
Dietary Zn has significant impacts on the growth and development of breeding rams. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of dietary Zn source and concentration on serum Zn concentration, growth performance, wool traits and reproductive performance in rams. Forty-four Targhee rams (14 months; 68 ± 18 kg BW) were used in an 84-day completely randomized design and were fed one of three pelleted dietary treatments: (1) a control without fortified Zn (CON; n = 15; ~1 × NRC); (2) a diet fortified with a Zn amino acid complex (ZnAA; n = 14; ~2 × NRC) and (3) a diet fortified with ZnSO4 (ZnSO4; n = 15; ~2 × NRC). Growth and wool characteristics measured throughout the course of the study were BW, average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), feed efficiency (G : F), longissimus dorsi muscle depth (LMD), back fat (BF), wool staple length (SL) and average fibre diameter (AFD). Blood was collected from each ram at four time periods to quantify serum Zn and testosterone concentrations. Semen was collected 1 to 2 days after the trial was completed. There were no differences in BW (P = 0.45), DMI (P = 0.18), LMD (P = 0.48), BF (P = 0.47) and AFD (P = 0.9) among treatment groups. ZnSO4 had greater (P ≤ 0.03) serum Zn concentrations compared with ZnAA and CON treatments. Rams consuming ZnAA had greater (P ≤ 0.03) ADG than ZnSO4 and CON. There tended to be differences among groups for G : F (P = 0.06), with ZnAA being numerically greater than ZnSO4 and CON. Wool staple length regrowth was greater (P < 0.001) in ZnSO4 and tended to be longer (P = 0.06) in ZnAA treatment group compared with CON. No differences were observed among treatments in scrotal circumference, testosterone, spermatozoa concentration within ram semen, % motility, % live sperm and % sperm abnormalities (P ≥ 0.23). Results indicated beneficial effects of feeding increased Zn concentrations to developing Targhee rams, although Zn source elicited differential responses in performance characteristics measured.
The National Project on Achievement in Twins (NatPAT) began in 2017 as part of the third funding cycle of the Florida Learning Disabilities Research Center, a program project grant funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Development. NatPAT will have a nationally representative sample of elementary school-aged twins in the United States. The overall goal of the project is to uncover salient factors, including genetic and environmental influences, which contribute to the co-development of reading and math performance during the critical developmental period of elementary school. Here we present the specific aims, methods and materials, and future directions of the project.
Nutsedge species are problematic in plastic-mulched vegetable production because of the weed's rapid reproduction and ability to penetrate the mulch. Vegetable growers rely heavily on halosulfuron to manage nutsedge species; however, the herbicide cannot be applied over mulch before vegetable transplanting due to potential crop injury. This can be problematic when multiple crops are produced on a single mulch installation. Field experiments were conducted to determine the response of broccoli, cabbage, squash, and watermelon to halosulfuron applied on top of mulch prior to transplanting. Halosulfuron at 80 g ai ha−1 was applied 21, 14, 7, and 1 d before planting (DBP), and 160 g ai ha−1 was applied 21 DBP. In all experiments, extending the interval between halosulfuron application and planting reduced crop injury. For squash and watermelon, visual injury, plant diameters/vine runner lengths, marketable fruit weights, and postharvest plant biomass resulted in similar values when applying 80 g ha−1 21 DBP and with the nontreated weed-free control. Reducing this interval increased injury for both crops. Visual crop injury and yield reductions up to 40% occurred, with halosulfuron applied 14, 7, or 1 DBP in squash and 1 DBP in watermelon. Broccoli and cabbage showed greater sensitivity, with injury and plant diameter reductions greater than 15%, even with halosulfuron applied at 80 g ha−1 21 DBP. Experimental results confirm that halosulfuron binds to plastic mulch, remains active, and is slowly released from the mulch over a substantial period, during rainfall or overhead irrigation events. Extending the plant-back interval to at least 21 d before transplanting did overcome squash and watermelon injury concerns with halosulfuron at 80 g ha−1, but not broccoli and cabbage. Applying halosulfuron over mulch to control emerged nutsedge before planting squash and watermelon would be beneficial if adequate rainfall or irrigation and appropriate intervals between application and planting are implemented.
Owing to the interplay between the forward Stokes drift and the backward wave-induced Eulerian return flow, Lagrangian particles underneath surface gravity wave groups can follow different trajectories depending on their initial depth below the surface. The motion of particles near the free surface is dominated by the waves and their Stokes drift, whereas particles at large depths follow horseshoe-shaped trajectories dominated by the Eulerian return flow. For unidirectional wave groups, a small net displacement in the direction of travel of the group results near the surface, and is accompanied by a net particle displacement in the opposite direction at depth. For deep-water waves, we study these trajectories experimentally by means of particle tracking velocimetry in a two-dimensional flume. In doing so, we provide visual illustration of Lagrangian trajectories under groups, including the contributions of both the Stokes drift and the Eulerian return flow to both the horizontal and the vertical Lagrangian displacements. We compare our experimental results to leading-order solutions of the irrotational water wave equations, finding good agreement.
There are high rates of obesity and low self-esteem in patients with psychosis. The occurrence of negative voice content directly about appearance is therefore plausible. Derogatory comments about appearance are likely to be distressing, increase depression and contribute to social withdrawal.
To systematically assess the occurrence of voice content regarding appearance and identify correlates.
Sixty patients experiencing verbal auditory hallucinations at least once a week in the context of non-affective psychosis completed a measure assessing positive and negative voice content about appearance. They also completed assessments about body image, self-esteem, psychiatric symptoms and well-being.
Fifty-five (91.7%) participants reported hearing voices comment on their appearance. A total of 54 (90%) patients reported negative voice content about their appearance with 30 (50%) patients experienced negative appearance comments on a daily basis. The most common negative comment was 'the voices tell me that I am ugly' (n = 48, 80%). There were 39 (65%) patients who reported positive voice content on appearance. The most frequent positive comment was 'I look as nice as other people' (n = 26, 43.3%). Negative voice content about appearance was associated with body image concerns, paranoia, voice hearing severity, depression, worry, negative self-beliefs and safety-seeking behaviours. Positive appearance voice content was associated with greater body esteem and well-being and lower levels of depression and insomnia.
Voice content about appearance is very common for patients seen in clinical services. Negative voice content may reflect – and subsequently reinforce – negative beliefs about one's appearance, low self-esteem, worry and paranoia.
The period before the formation of a persecutory delusion may provide causal insights. Patient accounts are invaluable in informing this understanding.
To inform the understanding of delusion formation, we asked patients about the occurrence of potential causal factors – identified from a cognitive model – before delusion onset.
A total of 100 patients with persecutory delusions completed a checklist about their subjective experiences in the weeks before belief onset. The checklist included items concerning worry, images, low self-esteem, poor sleep, mood dysregulation, dissociation, manic-type symptoms, aberrant salience, hallucinations, substance use and stressors. Time to reach certainty in the delusion was also assessed.
Most commonly it took patients several months to reach delusion certainty (n = 30), although other patients took a few weeks (n = 24), years (n = 21), knew instantly (n = 17) or took a few days (n = 6). The most frequent experiences occurring before delusion onset were: low self-confidence (n = 84); excessive worry (n = 80); not feeling like normal self (n = 77); difficulties concentrating (n = 77); going over problems again and again (n = 75); being very negative about the self (n = 75); images of bad things happening (n = 75); and sleep problems (n = 75). The average number of experiences occurring was high (mean 23.5, s.d. = 8.7). The experiences clustered into six main types, with patients reporting an average of 5.4 (s.d. = 1.0) different types.
Patients report numerous different experiences in the period before full persecutory delusion onset that could be contributory causal factors, consistent with a complex multifactorial view of delusion occurrence. This study, however, relied on retrospective self-report and could not determine causality.
Whole-grain cereal breakfast consumption has been associated with beneficial effects on glucose and insulin metabolism as well as satiety. Pearl millet is a popular ancient grain variety that can be grown in hot, dry regions. However, little is known about its health effects. The present study investigated the effect of a pearl millet porridge (PMP) compared with a well-known Scottish oats porridge (SOP) on glycaemic, gastrointestinal, hormonal and appetitive responses. In a randomised, two-way crossover trial, twenty-six healthy participants consumed two isoenergetic/isovolumetric PMP or SOP breakfast meals, served with a drink of water. Blood samples for glucose, insulin, glucagon-like peptide 1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), peptide YY, gastric volumes and appetite ratings were collected 2 h postprandially, followed by an ad libitum meal and food intake records for the remainder of the day. The incremental AUC (iAUC2h) for blood glucose was not significantly different between the porridges (P > 0·05). The iAUC2h for gastric volume was larger for PMP compared with SOP (P = 0·045). The iAUC2h for GIP concentration was significantly lower for PMP compared with SOP (P = 0·001). Other hormones and appetite responses were similar between meals. In conclusion, the present study reports, for the first time, data on glycaemic and physiological responses to a pearl millet breakfast, showing that this ancient grain could represent a sustainable alternative with health-promoting characteristics comparable with oats. GIP is an incretin hormone linked to TAG absorption in adipose tissue; therefore, the lower GIP response for PMP may be an added health benefit.
To describe an outbreak of bacteremia caused by vancomycin-sensitive Enterococcus faecalis (VSEfe).
An investigation by retrospective case control and molecular typing by whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
A tertiary-care neonatal unit in Melbourne, Australia.
Risk factors for 30 consecutive neonates with VSEfe bacteremia from June 2011 to December 2014 were analyzed using a case control study. Controls were neonates matched for gestational age, birth weight, and year of birth. Isolates were typed using WGS, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was determined.
Bacteremia for case patients occurred at a median time after delivery of 23.5 days (interquartile range, 14.9–35.8). Previous described risk factors for nosocomial bacteremia did not contribute to excess risk for VSEfe. WGS typing results designated 43% ST179 as well as 14 other sequence types, indicating a polyclonal outbreak. A multimodal intervention that included education, insertion checklists, guidelines on maintenance and access of central lines, adjustments to the late onset sepsis antibiotic treatment, and the introduction of diaper bags for disposal of soiled diapers after being handled inside the bed, led to termination of the outbreak.
Typing using WGS identified this outbreak as predominately nonclonal and therefore not due to cross transmission. A multimodal approach was then sought to reduce the incidence of VSEfe bacteremia.
We have observed the G23 field of the Galaxy AndMass Assembly (GAMA) survey using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) in its commissioning phase to validate the performance of the telescope and to characterise the detected galaxy populations. This observation covers ~48 deg2 with synthesised beam of 32.7 arcsec by 17.8 arcsec at 936MHz, and ~39 deg2 with synthesised beam of 15.8 arcsec by 12.0 arcsec at 1320MHz. At both frequencies, the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) noise is ~0.1 mJy/beam. We combine these radio observations with the GAMA galaxy data, which includes spectroscopy of galaxies that are i-band selected with a magnitude limit of 19.2. Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) infrared (IR) photometry is used to determine which galaxies host an active galactic nucleus (AGN). In properties including source counts, mass distributions, and IR versus radio luminosity relation, the ASKAP-detected radio sources behave as expected. Radio galaxies have higher stellar mass and luminosity in IR, optical, and UV than other galaxies. We apply optical and IR AGN diagnostics and find that they disagree for ~30% of the galaxies in our sample. We suggest possible causes for the disagreement. Some cases can be explained by optical extinction of the AGN, but for more than half of the cases we do not find a clear explanation. Radio sources aremore likely (~6%) to have an AGN than radio quiet galaxies (~1%), but the majority of AGN are not detected in radio at this sensitivity.
Weaning of beef calves is a stressful event that negatively impacts health and performance. A variety of interventions have been proposed to reduce stress and improve gains following weaning. This study used 288 7- to 8-month-old calves from two separate locations, to examine four different weaning strategies, as well as the impact of shipment. Calves were blocked by weight and sex, and then randomly assigned to one of four treatments: abrupt weaning (AW), where calves were separated from the dam on day 0 (D0) and allowed no further contact with the dam; fence line (FL), where calves were weaned on D0 but had fence line contact with dams for 7 days; nose flap (NF), where on day -6 calves received a nose flap that interferes with suckling, then had the flap removed and were weaned from the dam on D0; and intermittent separation (SEP), where calves were removed from dams for 24-h intervals on day -13 and day -6, then weaned on D0, but allowed fence line contact with the dam for 7 days. Each treatment group was further divided into two subgroups, one of which was shipped early (D0 for AW, day 7 for others) or shipped later (day 28). Body weight and sickness were recorded for all groups. Results showed a negative impact on gain for early shipping compared to later shipping, and poorer gain in AW calves than most other treatments. Results of the analyses of morbidity were inconclusive. This study found that delayed shipment following FL weaning improves performance under common management conditions for the US cow–calf industry.
A national need is to prepare for and respond to accidental or intentional disasters categorized as chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE). These incidents require specific subject-matter expertise, yet have commonalities. We identify 7 core elements comprising CBRNE science that require integration for effective preparedness planning and public health and medical response and recovery. These core elements are (1) basic and clinical sciences, (2) modeling and systems management, (3) planning, (4) response and incident management, (5) recovery and resilience, (6) lessons learned, and (7) continuous improvement. A key feature is the ability of relevant subject matter experts to integrate information into response operations. We propose the CBRNE medical operations science support expert as a professional who (1) understands that CBRNE incidents require an integrated systems approach, (2) understands the key functions and contributions of CBRNE science practitioners, (3) helps direct strategic and tactical CBRNE planning and responses through first-hand experience, and (4) provides advice to senior decision-makers managing response activities. Recognition of both CBRNE science as a distinct competency and the establishment of the CBRNE medical operations science support expert informs the public of the enormous progress made, broadcasts opportunities for new talent, and enhances the sophistication and analytic expertise of senior managers planning for and responding to CBRNE incidents.
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection can cause serious illness including haemolytic uraemic syndrome. The role of socio-economic status (SES) in differential clinical presentation and exposure to potential risk factors amongst STEC cases has not previously been reported in England. We conducted an observational study using a dataset of all STEC cases identified in England, 2010–2015. Odds ratios for clinical characteristics of cases and foodborne, waterborne and environmental risk factors were estimated using logistic regression, stratified by SES, adjusting for baseline demographic factors. Incidence was higher in the highest SES group compared to the lowest (RR 1.54, 95% CI 1.19–2.00). Odds of Accident and Emergency attendance (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.10–1.75) and hospitalisation (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.36–2.15) because of illness were higher in the most disadvantaged compared to the least, suggesting potential lower ascertainment of milder cases or delayed care-seeking behaviour in disadvantaged groups. Advantaged individuals were significantly more likely to report salad/fruit/vegetable/herb consumption (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.16–2.17), non-UK or UK travel (OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.40–2.27; OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.35–2.56) and environmental exposures (walking in a paddock, OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.22–2.70; soil contact, OR 1.52, 95% CI 2.13–1.09) suggesting other unmeasured risks, such as person-to-person transmission, could be more important in the most disadvantaged group.
We studied the genetic diversity and the population structure of human isolates of Histoplasma capsulatum, the causative agent of histoplasmosis, using a randomly amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) assay to identify associations with the geographic distribution of isolates from Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia and Argentina. The RAPD-PCR pattern analyses revealed the genetic diversity by estimating the percentage of polymorphic loci, effective number of alleles, Shannon's index and heterozygosity. Population structure was identified by the index of association (IA) test. Thirty-seven isolates were studied and clustered into three groups by the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA). Group I contained five subgroups based on geographic origin. The consistency of the UPGMA dendrogram was estimated by the cophenetic correlation coefficient (CCCr = 0.94, P = 0.001). Isolates from Mexico and Colombia presented higher genetic diversity than isolates from Argentina. Isolates from Guatemala grouped together with the reference strains from the United States of America and Panama. The IA values suggest the presence of a clonal population structure in the Argentinian H. capsulatum isolates and also validate the presence of recombining populations in the Colombian and Mexican isolates. These data contribute to the knowledge on the molecular epidemiology of histoplasmosis in Latin America.
Introduction: Although use of point of care ultrasound (PoCUS) protocols for patients with undifferentiated hypotension in the Emergency Department (ED) is widespread, our previously reported SHoC-ED study showed no clear survival or length of stay benefit for patients assessed with PoCUS. In this analysis, we examine if the use of PoCUS changed fluid administration and rates of other emergency interventions between patients with different shock types. The primary comparison was between cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic shock types. Methods: A post-hoc analysis was completed on the database from an RCT of 273 patients who presented to the ED with undifferentiated hypotension (SBP <100 or shock index > 1) and who had been randomized to receive standard care with or without PoCUS in 6 centres in Canada and South Africa. PoCUS-trained physicians performed scans after initial assessment. Shock categories and diagnoses recorded at 60 minutes after ED presentation, were used to allocate patients into subcategories of shock for analysis of treatment. We analyzed actual care delivered including initial IV fluid bolus volumes (mL), rates of inotrope use and major procedures. Standard statistical tests were employed. Sample size was powered at 0.80 (α:0.05) for a moderate difference. Results: Although there were expected differences in the mean fluid bolus volume between patients with non-cardiogenic and cardiogenic shock, there was no difference in fluid bolus volume between the control and PoCUS groups (non-cardiogenic control 1878 mL (95% CI 1550 – 2206 mL) vs. non-cardiogenic PoCUS 1687 mL (1458 – 1916 mL); and cardiogenic control 768 mL (194 – 1341 mL) vs. cardiogenic PoCUS 981 mL (341 – 1620 mL). Likewise there were no differences in rates of inotrope administration, or major procedures for any of the subcategories of shock between the control group and PoCUS group patients. The most common subcategory of shock was distributive. Conclusion: Despite differences in care delivered by subcategory of shock, we did not find any significant difference in actual care delivered between patients who were examined using PoCUS and those who were not. This may help to explain the previously reported lack of outcome difference between groups.
Introduction: Point of care ultrasound has been reported to improve diagnosis in non-traumatic hypotensive ED patients. We compared diagnostic performance of physicians with and without PoCUS in undifferentiated hypotensive patients as part of an international prospective randomized controlled study. The primary outcome was diagnostic performance of PoCUS for cardiogenic vs. non-cardiogenic shock. Methods: SHoC-ED recruited hypotensive patients (SBP < 100 mmHg or shock index > 1) in 6 centres in Canada and South Africa. We describe previously unreported secondary outcomes relating to diagnostic accuracy. Patients were randomized to standard clinical assessment (No PoCUS) or PoCUS groups. PoCUS-trained physicians performed scans after initial assessment. Demographics, clinical details and findings were collected prospectively. Initial and secondary diagnoses including shock category were recorded at 0 and 60 minutes. Final diagnosis was determined by independent blinded chart review. Standard statistical tests were employed. Sample size was powered at 0.80 (α:0.05) for a moderate difference. Results: 273 patients were enrolled with follow-up for primary outcome completed for 270. Baseline demographics and perceived category of shock were similar between groups. 11% of patients were determined to have cardiogenic shock. PoCUS had a sensitivity of 80.0% (95% CI 54.8 to 93.0%), specificity 95.5% (90.0 to 98.1%), LR+ve 17.9 (7.34 to 43.8), LR-ve 0.21 (0.08 to 0.58), Diagnostic OR 85.6 (18.2 to 403.6) and accuracy 93.7% (88.0 to 97.2%) for cardiogenic shock. Standard assessment without PoCUS had a sensitivity of 91.7% (64.6 to 98.5%), specificity 93.8% (87.8 to 97.0%), LR+ve 14.8 (7.1 to 30.9), LR- of 0.09 (0.01 to 0.58), Diagnostic OR 166.6 (18.7 to 1481) and accuracy of 93.6% (87.8 to 97.2%). There was no significant difference in sensitivity (-11.7% (-37.8 to 18.3%)) or specificity (1.73% (-4.67 to 8.29%)). Diagnostic performance was also similar between other shock subcategories. Conclusion: As reported in other studies, PoCUS based assessment performed well diagnostically in undifferentiated hypotensive patients, especially as a rule-in test. However performance was similar to standard (non-PoCUS) assessment, which was excellent in this study.

Bought this monitor and returned it the same day because although I have an Nvidia GTX 560 video card, it was not powerful enough to scale resolution up to 4k HD.
With the video card I have I was unable to go higher than 1080p !! So, before you buy this monitor,
please sure you have the right video card with HDMI 2.0 and/or a Display port.

Jaguars coach Doug Marrone returned to Orchard Park Sunday wearing a hoodie with the words "Bold City" written in big letters across the front. It was funny, given his history of conservative play calls.
But Marrone was emboldened Monday by the Jaguars' seventh straight loss. He fired offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and benched quarterback Blake Bortles in moves he hopes will spark their struggling offense.
"It wasn't anything negative, [Marrone] just decided to make a move," Hackett told NFL Network. "I guess he didn't think I was good enough, that's the only thing I can think of. It's a shock.
"I knew Doug had thought about it. I guess the football gods had it out for me. We started off hot, had so many injuries, we were a completely different team. Guys busted their butts, but you can only do so much. I wish I could've figured something out."
Hackett had been with Marrone since their Syracuse days. Bortles had started 75 consecutive games and is still owed another $34 million. Cody Kessler will start next week against the Colts.
Bills trying to strike right balance with Josh Allen's running: "We don't want him to get hurt. There's got to be an understanding that those build up over time," coach Sean McDermott said. "I've been around two mobile quarterbacks before – both Cam (Newton) and Donovan (McNabb) – and that's an ongoing conversation what seems like every week. How much running is too much? How much is not enough? There's a fine line there that we have to continue to try and find every week. One week, it could be more than we want, and one week, it may be less. We've just got to continue to drill down on that."
Film review: Mark Gaughan gave Allen a 4.0 out of 5. "You want to see Allen show accuracy from the pocket, make some elite athletic plays and protect the ball," Gaughan wrote. "Triple check." On the defensive side of the ball, veterans Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes worked twist stunts to perfection.
Kubiak's QB report: "Decisive running action makes Allen very difficult to defend, and puts defenses in a bind when they play man-to-man coverage," QB analyst Jim Kubiak wrote. "If teams blitz, they better sack the quarterback or account for Allen with a spy, otherwise they risk giving up huge plays."
Fournette suspended one game for role in brawl against Bills: The Jaguars offense was toast after its best player, Leonard Fournette, was ejected Sunday. Now they'll be without him for an entire game.
Matt Milano continues to make big plays for Bills' defense: Milano's third interception tied him for the league-lead among linebackers.
High marks for CBS' Archuleta: TV critic Alan Pergament is a fan of Adam Archuleta's work as a game analyst.

Skeptics wondered if Serena Williams would be ready for the Australian Open after pulling out of the Hopman Cup early this month with a sore knee.
To use her favorite expression: "Come on!" Serena has shown no signs of a four-month layoff in the season's first Grand Slam, cruising to the women's final in Melbourne without losing a set.
Williams, gunning for a seventh Australian title, faces German Angelique Kerber in Saturday's final. Serena is seeking her 22nd Slam singles title, which would tie Steffi Graf for the most in the Open era.
Last July, she completed her second "Serena Slam," winning Wimbledon to hold all four major titles at once. Roberta Vinci stunned her in the U.S. Open semis to stop a season slam. She seems ready to make another run.
Williams beat Maria Sharapova with typical ease in the quarterfinals. It took her 20 minutes to blank Agnieszka Radwanska in the first set of the semis. Radwanska is no slouch. She'll be third in the next world rankings.
Serena is No. 1. But it's no longer about being the best in the world, or even the best of all time. She's making a case as the best female athlete who ever lived.

Agility to Supply UPS with CNG Fuel Systems for 445 Additional Trucks
Santa Ana, CA, April 1, 2015 — Agility Fuel Systems, the leading designer and producer of natural gas fuel storage and delivery systems for heavy duty trucks and buses, announced today that UPS has ordered 445 of its new 160 DGE Behind-the-Cab CNG fuel systems for delivery in 2015. UPS has led the industry in the adoption of natural gas in heavy duty on-road trucking and with this new order, will be operating almost 1,600 heavy duty trucks equipped with CNG or LNG fuel systems supplied by Agility. These trucks, once fully deployed, are projected to run more than 230 million miles annually and with Agility's comprehensive field support, are achieving up-time results that are comparable to diesel trucks.
Agility has worked closely with UPS to develop and engineer custom specifications for their applications and has provided installation, training and in-servicing support to enable successful deployment and rapid expansion of natural gas in their heavy duty truck fleet.
Agility has also supported the UPS natural gas rollout with its portable fueling solution, enabling new LNG trucks to be fueled at the production plant where they are built and quickly placed into service.
"As an early adopter, UPS has been a role model for trucking fleets introducing natural gas into their operations. We are proud to have worked with UPS over the last several years to support their natural gas rollout. Today's announcement is further validation of our technological leadership, innovative and space saving fuel system designs, reliability and industry-leading field support," said Barry Engle, Chief Executive Officer of Agility Fuel Systems.
Agility Fuel Systems, headquartered in Santa Ana, Calif., is the leader in the development of safe, reliable and cost effective natural gas systems for heavy trucks and buses.

As vanilla turns into price greater than silver, crime takes over the Madagascan commerce
Vibrant moonlight mirrored off broad banana leaves, however it was nonetheless arduous to see the blue twine laced via the undergrowth, a tripwire meant to ship the unwary tumbling to the bottom.
"That is the best way the thieves come," says the vanilla farmer, reducing his voice and sweeping his flashlight beam over a ditch.
Every evening the farmer, Ninot Oclin, 33, patrols his land within the foothills of a volcano in Madagascar, barefoot, with a bolt-action rifle slung over his shoulder. If he hears somebody fall, he is aware of one more bandit is making an attempt to steal his profitable crop of ripening vanilla.
The plush mountains in Madagascar's northeast produce about 80 per cent of the world's vanilla, probably the most costly flavours. Its value has soared, reaching greater than $600 a kilogram final yr, or about $270 a pound – greater than silver – in contrast with $50 a kilogram in 2013.
Rising western demand for the flavouring is partly driving the value spike, with vanilla utilized in every little thing from ice cream to alcohol to cosmetics. Provide was diminished by a cyclone that ravaged crops final yr on the island, which lies off the coast of southeast Africa.
With the proper local weather and soil for rising vanilla, the Sava area of Madagascar is within the midst of an financial increase.
So-called vanilla mansions have sprung up above conventional thatched grass huts. Even the humblest properties usually boast photo voltaic panels and LED lights that make once-dark villages glow by evening. Gleaming SUVs ply the damaged streets of Sambava, the vanilla capital, the place bustling markets line the roadsides.
The windfall, nonetheless, has come at a price. Vanilla's excessive value, mixed with rampant poverty and a corrupt, weak state, has made the crop a favorite goal of violent prison networks.
The story of the vanilla commerce in Madagascar is one in every of risks and rewards, and may be informed via three very important hyperlinks within the chain that delivers the flavour from the fields to port, the place it's exported to the world.
The peasant: gruelling work, at all times on guard
Most vanilla nonetheless comes from small farms, like Oclin's, the place the work is backbreaking.
Vanilla vegetation must be nurtured for 3 to 4 years earlier than bearing pods. The flowers bloom every year for 24 hours and should be instantly pollinated.
Melipona bees in Mexico, the place the Aztecs first used vanilla, initially did this job, however the bugs by no means existed in Madagascar. So every season, about 40 million vanilla vegetation are fertilised by hand utilizing a toothpick-sized wood needle.
As soon as pollinated, a flower produces inexperienced beans inside two months; the vanilla perfume is tucked inside in hundreds of little black seeds and an oily movie. The beans start fermenting as soon as picked, so growers should shortly discover patrons.
The arduous work doesn't hassle Oclin.
"The issue is safety," he says, explaining that thieves will assault and kill farmers for his or her vanilla pods.
So not solely does he patrol his plot of about 3,000 vanilla vines, he pays three males to face guard each evening throughout the 4 months earlier than the summer time harvest.
The lads are armed with double-pronged fishing spears and golf equipment, plus Oclin's rifle. Every evening, a vigilante group patrolling native plantations stops by with a half-dozen males armed with golf equipment and machetes.
"Each vanilla plot can be guarded," Oclin says.
With little public belief in a corrupt police drive and justice system, mob justice usually prevails when a suspected thief is caught.
In April, an area militia captured a thief with just a little over 3lb of freshly picked vanilla. He was overwhelmed with sticks till he collapsed, then hacked to demise with machetes, based on residents. It was simply one in every of dozens of comparable "vanilla murders" over the previous two seasons.
However arrests do occur.
On sooner or later this yr, "we had 33 convictions", says Volozara Sakina Mohamady, the director of the jail in Antalaha, one of many Sava area's important ports. "Principally for vanilla."
Regardless of the dangers, Oclin has seen a small payoff from the vanilla commerce. He now has a smartphone and a Fb account, and his one-room residence has a TV and satellite tv for pc dish powered by photo voltaic vitality.
The intermediary: 'With vanilla, life is good'
In Sambava, within the shade of a mango tree, Pascale Rasafindakoto, 44, a "commisionnaire", or intermediary, waits with dozens of his friends for lower-level sellers to reach from the countryside with small plastic baggage of vanilla beans.
The aroma, texture, and bean measurement (greater is best) are examined and a value negotiated.
Typically, Rasafindakoto ventures into the countryside in a battered automobile looking for offers. His journey again may embrace a compelled cease at one of many frequent roadblocks, the place the police anticipate a payoff to go.
"I've by no means had any issues with gendarmes," he says, smiling. "I work with them. I've to offer them one thing so they're my pals."
With beans spoiling so shortly, growers have little bargaining energy. They usually get a lot much less cash for his or her beans than middlemen like Rasafindakoto obtain when promoting the beans to a central curing facility.
"We've been poor for too lengthy," says Dominique Rakotoson, 55, a longtime farmer in Sambava who represents 100 households of vanilla growers. "Regardless of the value hike, most farmers stay poor as a result of they promote their crops straight away, or too early."
Tales of commissionaires swindling growers abound. In addition they are extensively accused of reducing general high quality by mixing good and unhealthy vanilla.
"The middlemen is the place the shady enterprise goes on," Rakotoson says.
Rasafindakoto shrugs off discuss like this. His household now has a brand new home with a flat display screen TV and makes frequent journeys to the seaside to barbecue with pals.
The vanilla commerce is tough work, he says, so why not benefit from the good occasions whereas they final?
"With vanilla, life is good," Rasafindakoto says. "It has sped up and we will dwell it absolutely."
The exporter: 'It's like cocaine in Latin America'
Michel Lomone presides over his warehouse in Antalaha, watching a small military of aproned ladies curing, sorting and packing tons of dried vanilla into bins for export to multinational flavouring and perfume firms.
Whereas rich by native requirements, Lomone's greatest concern is similar as Oclin's: theft.
"There isn't a safety of products or of individuals," Lomone says. "The system of justice is rotten. There's whole impunity. It's like cocaine in Latin America. They get the little guys, however not the pinnacle."
Lomone says lots of of kilos of vanilla have been stolen from his warehouses through the years. All his workers are frisked after they go away work.
"The pods are so small and priceless it's straightforward to cover them," he says. "It's like with diamonds in South Africa."
Lomone produces the best high quality "bourbon" vanilla, utilizing a curing approach that takes months.
"Vanilla takes persistence," Lomone says.
This yr, with provide much less affected by unhealthy climate, the value could dip, however vanilla's price is anticipated to remain far above historic norms.
Lomone says he was involved concerning the increase's impact on native tradition, with individuals doing no matter they'll to get wealthy fast.
"Now in Madagascar, it's not an issue of poverty to eat, however of social poverty," he says. "It's concerning the competitors to maintain up with others making quick cash. It's not good. We are able to't maintain going like this."

WBForrester needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 144 designs submitted by 37 freelance designers.
I'm not sure if I want it incorporated in the actual logo, but the brand theme/slogan we've decided on is: "Behind every great school is a great social network"
BuddyUp.org promotes student retention and academic success by empowering students to connect beyond the classroom. We use our online social networking platform (BuddyUp) to facilitate these relationships and, over the course of the next 3-5 years, we plan to impact the lives of over 4.4 million students. We have been in closed beta for the past 9 months, and are launching nation-wide this Fall.
About the product: BuddyUp gives students an easy way to connect beyond the classroom, in ways that impact academic success and retention. For students, BuddyUp represents an easier way to find study buddies and organize study groups on campus, while at the same time, simply getting to know your classmates. As a student you can search for buddies by course, language, location, major or common interests (using #tags).
I love simplicity. I like friendliness but not so big on playfulness. We'll be releasing a mobile app in early 2015. We sell to universities (so far) but college students are our users.
BuddyUp has been my life since I launched it last year, (the concept inspired by my experience failing a Stats class), and we have grown rapidly. We are passionate about helping students and we are inspired by the idea of bringing the power of social networking to the world of higher education.

Nora's Bathtime Routine & Bathtime Giveawayposted by Andrea | 09/1/2012
UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
As many of you know, we've had quite the time trying to get Nora to sleep… EVER! However, one thing we've been doing every night she was only about 2 months old (in attempts to help her sleep better) is a relatively simple bathtime / bedtime routine.
We personally feel like this helps to calm her down and "signal" that we're starting the bed-time process — even if it does take her 3 more hours to actually fall asleep.
It doesn't work every night, but this girl LOVES her baths, so it's worth it!
Every evening after dinner, Dave gives her a nice warm bath and lets her splash around for a bit. Then we bring her into her nursery with the lights down low, change her diaper, put lotion on, and get her PJ's on. We read a couple books, I feed her, and she falls asleep.
Then we pray that she STAYS asleep 🙂
The whole process takes about 30 minutes and it's a great chance for Dave and I to each spend a little one-on-one time with Nora. Plus I feel like we're instilling some sort of routine into her day — which is definitely good for her, and it sure makes me happy.
Isn't she cute!
For one of my shower gifts, I got a big set of Johnson & Johnson bath-time products — and we've been using them every night for the past 9 months. My favorite is the Lavender bedtime bath products because I love the smell… or maybe it's because I'm hoping it will make Nora sleepy.
Either way, baby bath products are a super practical (and clutter-free) gift idea for any new mom, or anyone you know with small children. And for a limited time, Johnson & Johnson is offering a special Baby Essential Pack that would make such a perfect gift. The set is available only at Walmart and Walmart.com through September 14.
The Baby Essentials Special Pack includes Johnson's Baby Lotion, Johnson's Head-to-Toe Wash, Johnson's Shampoo, Johnson's Baby Bubble Bath, and Desitin Creamy.
Oh, and just because Nora loves her bathtime SO much, I'm giving away a huge set of baby bathtime goodies — which includes the Johnson's Baby Essentials Pack.
The Giveaway:
Today, one lucky reader will win a Johnson & Johnson prize pack; full of bath-time goodies for any baby in your life. The pack includes:
- Johnson's baby essentials special pack
- Johnson & Johnson tote
- Neutrogena beach ball
- Froggy wash mit
- Bath tub toy organizer
- Tub lights
- Foam letters
How to Enter:
1. {required} Leave a comment on this post. What is/was your favorite baby bathtime routine or activity? And if you don't have a baby, just tell me who you would give this prize pack to if you win!
If you are reading this in your email or feed reader, please visit the actual blog post to enter. Email entries, Facebook comments, and Twitter messages will NOT be counted.
(1) Johnson's prize pack as described above.
This giveaway ends at 10:00 pm on Monday, 9/03/2012 and is open to US residents, 18 years or older. I will use And the Winner Is to select the winning comments at random. Winners will be notified by email and noted at the top of this post. Winners must respond within 48 hours of notification to claim their prize or I will choose a new winner. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery and feel free to contact me with any questions you have. Good luck!

My 13 mos old has always loved everything about bath time and she now signs "bath" when she is ready for it!
Shante Robinson09/03/2012
If I won this Bathtime Giveaway, I would give it to myself because I am pregnant with a baby boy and due at the end of September! I am very excited and looking forward to bonding with my baby while giving him baths. I will take a lot of pictures to send to my husband who is currently stationed overseas until next year!
We have always gone with the 4 B's = Bath, Books, Bottle, Bed!
I would give this prize pack to my best friend Sara, she just had her baby this February and she loves her "tubby time"!
I love teaching my boys how to splash the water. They always made the best surprised and happy faces! Oh, and that it was bed time soon after!!!
I'd give the prize pack to my co-worker.
Nita Ronyak09/03/2012
I love playing with toy boats in the bathtub with 1 year old grandchild, Blaze. He likes to make engine noises as we drive the boats, and sometimes the larger boats carry the baby boats around in the water. I want him to enjoy his bath time as a fun time of the day!
MJ Gerd09/03/2012
The last thing we do as the lights go out is sing a couple of quiet songs.
Love your giveaways….Thank you! I love they way my children smell after a bath…so cuddly!
I usually give our youngest her bath at nighttime and she loves to splash in her tub.
I would give this to my friend who is starting over after 15 years between her girls!!! She is teaching her daughter to drive while pregnant!!! Fertility issues has been the reason for the gap and never thought that she would get the blessing to raise another girl. She has nothing left and this would be well needed!!
I would be giving this to a friend that just spent 15 hours in labor with her first child. I think she needs any help she can get. 😉
Meagan Bailey09/02/2012
My Michael is 2. When he was 6 months to a year old we would give him a bath with johnson and johnson's lavender baby wash, dress him in his pjs, give him a bottle or cup of will, and rock him to sleep singing this little light of mine. He still has to have a cup of after bath and rock. If we try to sing now he will not go to sleep instead he sings along. I miss the old days.
Meagan Bailey
I love smelling her warm, damp hair as I read her bedtime stories to her.
Mindy C09/02/2012
I'd give it to a friend who just delivered her baby last week!
One of the nurses where I work is having her first baby this month..would love to give this to her!

Sophie Turner's 'Game of Thrones' rise: 'The best drama class I could have hoped for'
Sansa Stark is nobody's victim.
Just a year after many fans were outraged by the Game of Thrones character's wedding-night rape, the latest in a litany of abuses, the young lady of Winterfell gained sweet vengeance at the end of last season, releasing her captured attacker's hounds and watching them devour him.
Sign up for the Postcards from Westeros Newsletter
Sansa, who once dreamily envisioned life as a princess, is perhaps the HBO drama's most-transformed character — and now a rising power, as Thrones opens its seventh season Sunday (9 ET/PT).
"She went from being the young, innocent girl who saw the world through rose-tinted glasses and transitioned to being a prisoner but also a listener, adapting under the watchful eye of her captors," says actress Sophie Turner, 21, who was 13 and acting in a school theater group 100 miles from London when she was chosen to play Sansa in 2009.
"It's only in the past couple of seasons that we've seen her become a leader in her own right and emerge as quite a powerful force in the game."
Sansa is not part of the triumvirate — King in the North Jon Snow (Kit Harington), her half-brother; dragon queen Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke); and reigning Westeros monarch Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) — on a collision course for dominion over the Seven Kingdoms, but the grisly death of her abusive husband Ramsay Bolton may be more of a start than a conclusion.
Harington recalls how Sansa subtly relished Ramsay's demise.
"That's who Sansa is going to be in the future. She's as brutal as any of them," he says. "Before, she was a victim in many ways. Now, she is very much a protagonist, someone who's driving the story."
Jon wouldn't be Winterfell's lord and Ramsay wouldn't be dog food without Sansa's earlier intercession at the Battle of the Bastards, when her shifty but accomplished ally Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish (Aidan Gillen) came through with the military forces needed for victory.
That triumph marked another major turn for the young woman, previously subjected to so much suffering at the hands of one-time fiancé King Joffrey; his mother, Cersei; the manipulative Littlefinger; and the murderous Bolton clan.
Turner says Sansa doesn't want to rule Westeros. But after being ignored by male counterparts in earlier combat planning, despite her intimate knowledge of the Boltons, she appears to be channeling a different kind of queen — Aretha Franklin — in the battle's aftermath.
"She believes she deserves a bit of respect for saving everyone's life, which I think is reasonable," Turner says, displaying a deft, dry wit. "She doesn't necessarily feel stripped of the title she deserves, but she definitely feels underappreciated."
Turner, by comparison, has no trouble getting respect in the entertainment industry.
The actress spoke by phone from Canada, where she's filming 2018's X-Men: Dark Phoenix, her second outing as super-powered Jean Grey. She has a lead role in an upcoming sci-fi film, Time Freak; and she moves far away from Sansa and Winterfell as a blond, tattooed Alabama wild child in Huntsville, an upcoming film co-starring Dylan McDermott.
"Game of Thrones has been amazing. It's been the biggest drama class I could have ever hoped for, but it's also been an incredible platform. It's got a huge amount of visibility," she says.
Harington, 30, is impressed by Turner's development as a person and an actor.
"It's crazy going from having this 13-year-old girl that you feel protective over, who's sweet and innocent and keeps running up to you and telling you not to smoke, and then watching (her) grow over the years into a fascinating, intelligent, incredibly funny and witty young woman," he says.
Turner remembers being unfazed as a novice actor joining an esteemed cast that included Headey, Sean Bean, Michelle Fairley and Peter Dinklage.
"I was probably just coming out of that phase, at 13, where dressing up and sword-fighting was really exciting. I was part of a theater company … and I probably played it a million times with friends on stage," she says, although she had less familiarity with Thrones' more adult storylines. "It was only the sex, probably, that kind of shocked me a little. I didn't really know what to make of it. I didn't know you could do half the stuff that they say in the script."
The rewards of early success have come with some minor challenges.
"There are insecurities you have when you're growing up, just normally, but then you need an Instagram account to promote your project and all of a sudden the little insecurities you have are being shouted at you by all your followers," Turner says. (In a reflection of that public scrutiny, she declines comment, with a playful laugh, when asked about her relationship with singer Joe Jonas: "I'm happy in my personal life, yes.")
Having 20-year-old Maisie Williams (who plays Sansa's younger sister, Arya) around, especially early on, helped.
"She's been my rock, and I think I've been hers. She's kind of my sister, my best friend, my soulmate," Turner says. Both recently got matching tattoos— 07/08/09 — reflecting the date they were hired.
Turner sees the sisters, who didn't get along as young girls, as two sides of the same coin, battling gender norms in a patriarchal society.
"They're opposites in probably every way. Arya is very impulsive, quick to fight, incredibly brave and stands up in the face of fear-mongering. Sansa takes her time with things. She'll fight with her mind and doesn't show her cards too quickly," she says.
Turner won't say whether the pair, who have been separated since Season 1, will reunite, but she would love to see it happen, predicting "they'd work amazingly as a team."
For now, Sansa will be dealing with the two most prominent men in her life, Jon and Littlefinger, who wants her beside him as he seeks his elusive goal: The Iron Throne.
Sansa honed her political skills watching the scheming Littlefinger.
"He's been taking Sansa under his wing and watching her grow into this formidable — and less readable — player," says Gillen. "They are equals now, almost. I think they both know what the other is up to."
Sansa's once-distant relationship with Jon has improved. She saved him on the battlefield and alerted him to a looming threat with a foreboding update on the Stark family motto: "Winter is here."
"She's older and wiser, not as innocent and naïve," Turner says. "They're finally working together."
At the same time, Turner notes, Jon didn't say anything about Sansa when he was proclaimed King in the North in the Season 6 finale, an omission noticed, if silently, by Littlefinger.
"You see (Littlefinger) giving Sansa almost an 'I-told-you-so' look. I think she knows he can get her to that place of recognition she doesn't feel she's getting," Turner says. "He came through when she needed him at the Battle of the Bastards. He's proven himself to her and she's thinking, 'Well, maybe we are a good team after all.'"
Will there be conflict over Littlefinger's desire for the Iron Throne? That seat of power might end up a mangled mass of metal if the fight for the Seven Kingdoms is just an intramural skirmish before the war against the White Walkers.
"The power of storylines moving toward an intersection is something everybody's been waiting for," Gillen says. "The very first imagery of the first episode of Game of Thrones concerns the threat from beyond the wall."
Whoever rises and falls during the seven-episode season, followed by six final episodes due in 2018, Turner isn't betting against Sansa.
"She made it through Ramsay, Littlefinger, Cersei, Joffrey. I think she can make it through this."
