--- 0 to 100 mph in 6 sec. Drayson B12/69EV - the KillaCycle team designed and built the pack---Blog - in EnglishPosted by Eva Håkansson 09 Jul, 2012 01:54:03
Video clip of testing of the Drayson GT race car B12/69EV at MIRA facility in England. (If you are in a hurry, start at 1:13 min)
This car clocked zero to 100 MPH in 6 seconds, with very conservative software limits in place for these initial tests.
Drayson has a lot planned for the B12/69EV GT car, so stay tuned.....
The KillaCycle team designed and constructed the battery pack for this vehicle. Mavizen put us together with Drayson and worked all the
logistics. Derek Barger pitched in to help with a portion of the fabrication on this huge pack made from A123Systems cells. Bill did most of the design work, while Eva did most of the fabrication work on the pack.
Some links to more information about the car and about Drayson Racing
Mavizen: http://www.mavizen.com/
This pack uses the new upgraded version of the A123Systems 26650 M1 cells (Called the "M1B" model 26650, not to be confused with "B grade" cells.) In addition to the nifty black stripes printed on the end of the cells, they have more than 10% higher power output and about 10% more energy content in the same size cell. The M1B cells each weigh a touch more than the standard M1 cells.

Damp, Mould and Wall Paints
Why do I need to use a Primer and Undercoat?
- Primers help you paint stick. Undercoats cover bold colours and dark marks. Our Primers and Undercoats do both.
Why is stain block better than normal emulsion?
- Walls can get stained easily, especially when you have kids or pets. If you just paint over them with normal emulsion chances are they'll come back once the paint is dry. Our Stain Block will cover them up permanently.
Why use a spray paint?
- Speed, spraying makes it quick and easy to use. It doesn't leave any brush marks. And there are no brushes to clean up after.
Why do I need to use a Primer & Undercoat?
- Primers help paint stick. Undercoats cover dark marks and bold colours. Our Primers & Undercoats do both.
How to cover up interior damp?
- You always need to find and fix the problem causing damp. Once that's done use our Damp Seal to cover any damp stains on your walls.
Why is stain block better than normal emulsion?
- Stain Block is a Wall Primer to use under your emulsion. It's made to block stains and stop them showing through your top coat.
Damp is causing wood to rot, how do I fix and prevent this?
- There are many potential causes for both wet and dry rot, it's best to call a reputable tradesman for an assessment if you aren't sure of the root cause, it generally comes down to a combination of humidity/condensation and poor ventilation. Once the root cause has been identified and fixed, the damaged wood can be repaired. Rotten timber should be either replaced, or cut away and filled. A good quality primer and topcoat should then be applied, this will keep the moisture out of the wood and prevent further rot from occurring.
Can I use damp seal paint on wallpaper?
- This would not stop the damp damaging the wall paper. And even though it would cover the damp stain, it could still cause the wallpaper to come away from the wall and peel off. You should remove the wall paper, then use damp seal and then you can put new wallpaper over it.
Are your products safe to use in the kitchen?
- Our products are mostly safe to use in Kitchens, bathrooms and other interior rooms. Just give the back of the tin a read to double check.
Does your anti-mould paint come in clear colour?
- Our Anti-Mould paint comes in a clear coat. This means you can paint over the top of any coloured paint without it changing colour.
How soon after applying mould killer can I apply paint?
- When using our Mould Killer Spray you can paint over as soon as the surface is dry. This will vary from job to job depending on how much spray has been used and the temperature of the room.
- Why do I need to use a Primer and Undercoat?

Side by Side
|Today, many states are considering including some special education training in their certification requirements for general education teachers.
At Syracuse University's education school, a leader in embracing inclusion, general education and special education teachers are taught together and receive dual certification at the end of the four-year program.
Douglas P. Biklen, the chairman of the inclusive education department at the private university in Syracuse, N.Y., says the faculty there found that a lot of coursework was duplicated in the special education and general education programs, and decided that all education students would benefit from a combined degree.
The program has been popular, he says.
"We were a little worried, because whether or not they were interested in elementary or secondary education, they were coming to this inclusive program," he notes. "We were pleased to find out the students came in large numbers."
Today, many states are considering including some special education training in their certification requirements for general education teachers. Last year, 22 states required elementary teachers and 21 required secondary school teachers to study some coursework related to students with disabilities, according to an Education Department report to Congress in December. But only 11 states required general education teachers to have practical experience with disabled students before receiving certification.
"The general education teacher needs to understand, basically, how the disability affects a child's ability to learn," Hehir says. "They should also expect that they have available to them competent help."
Teachers' union leaders say that many districts do not plan well for inclusion, leading to problems for both teachers and students.
Too often, inclusion occurs as "a collision in the night," says Ed Admundson, the chairman of the National Education Association's Caucus for Educators of Exceptional Children. The 2.3 million-member NEA has worked to push districts and administrators to put aside enough funding to train teachers adequately and to provide the support that they and their disabled students need, Admundson says.
And often, the perceived reluc-tance by a teacher to have a class that includes a disabled child stems from the teacher's previous bad experiences with inclusion, he adds.
The 5,000-member West Virginia Federation of Teachers, an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, successfully lobbied for state laws giving teachers more of a voice in student placements after the state urged schools to embrace full inclusion.
The laws, enacted in 1994, gave general education teachers a seat on the individualized education plan team. Further, if a disabled child is placed in a regular classroom but the teacher feels the placement was a mistake, the teacher can call another IEP team meeting after 30 days to review the decision.
The changes "slowed down what we perceived to be wholesale inclusion," says Bob Brown, the West Virginia union's executive director. "It brought some sense and meaning to what's going on."
Calling for a moratorium on inclusion that year, the union released a survey of 1,121 teachers that found that 87 percent did not believe inclusion would benefit general education students and 78 percent did not believe it would help the special education students. The root of the problem, the union concluded, was inadequate resources and preparation, as 77 percent of the teachers said they had received one hour or less of training in inclusion.
An October 1996 report in the 40,000-student Howard County, Md., district echoed those findings. Responses from a survey of 475 middle school teachers found that "almost two-thirds of the teachers (64 percent) believe that inclusion detracts from their ability to fully serve the needs of the general student population." Only 21 percent of the teachers thought inclusion met the needs of special education students.
|Parental resistance also may dampen enthusiasm for inclusion, many administrators say.
When Congress amended the IDEA last year, education and disability-rights advocates pressed for a range of changes that, while more expensive and cumbersome for administrators, could help general education teachers become more comfortable with their new role.
One of the changes the advocacy groups have embraced is a requirement that a disabled student's general education teacher participate in meetings on the student's individualized education plan, or IEP. Such meetings, required by the IDEA, determine the education path that a disabled student will follow.
Diane Schust, a lobbyist for the NEA, says the union had pressed for the mandate for several years because teachers often were not informed of disabled students' needs. Often, a teacher would not even be allowed to see a copy of the student's IEP and would not be given any information on the child's disability, she says.
Further, the IDEA amendments require that a disabled child's coursework be tied to the general classroom's curriculum. States and districts also must include disabled students in assessments, making modifications or giving an alternative test where necessary.
Juleen Hanberg, a special education teacher in rural Lapoint, Utah, has been working with school officials there to set up inclusive classrooms. She says many of her colleagues, particularly those teaching in upper grades, feared having disabled students in their classes. Not only did the teachers not know how to adapt and modify the curriculum to meet the students' needs, she says, but some also were intimidated by the students' behavior and worried that a child might become uncontrollably violent.
The 6,445-student Uintah district has worked to allay those fears by keeping a special education teacher in the classroom or on call should problems arise. School officials have also assured teachers that if a child is violent or disruptive, they will make a change in placement quickly, Hanberg adds.
Administrative support, from problem-solving skills to leading workshops, is also a crucial piece of the puzzle, teachers say.
Many times, enthusiastic and open-minded teachers do not receive the support they need from principals, other administrators, and their peers, says Ann Perez, a teacher in the 29,000-student El Dorado County, Calif., schools and distinguished-teacher-in-residence at California State University-Sacramento.
Teachers who attempt to create inclusion programs on their own "turn into Joan of Arc," says the strong-willed teacher who moonlights as a ski instructor on weekends. "They get beat up pretty quickly" by administrators, other teachers, and sometimes parents.
Parental resistance--most often from parents of nondisabled students who worry that their children's education might be slighted--also may dampen enthusiasm for inclusion, many administrators say. At Taylor Elementary in the 18,300-student Arlington County, Va., district, Principal Ralph E. Stone set up committees of parents and teachers that meet every few weeks to address concerns and solve problems stemming from the school's inclusive programs.

Halo The Flood Pdf
About the Book:
Halo The Flood Book
Author: William C. Dietz
Publisher: Tor Books; Reprint edition
Publish date: February 28, 2012
Pages: 432 eBook pages can be different
Language: English
Genres: Military science fiction
This epic Sci-Fi tell the story of the Spartan Super Soldier John/Master Chief, as he awakes from cry sleep in the middle of a great battle upon the ship The Pillar Of Autumn. Instantly John is engaged with a huge amount of glitches, as the ship's captain Captain Jacob Keyes, and the ships A.I. unit Cortana, announce that the ship will be crash landing on the impending Ring-World Halo (hence the name of the series). After crash landing on Halo, Master Chief is challenged by the stories key enemy, a group of numerous species of aliens known as The Covenant, whose foremost resolution is to ride the cosmos of other species to achieve religious freedom.
The Main clash in this book is Man vs. Alien, as Master Chief must somehow find a way off Halo, and back to Earth. The subject is about the struggle of Human race against its new arch rivals The Covenant. Being as though the Book is based off of the game, it was hard for the author to waif too far from the real main plot, but in his slyness he is fully able to tell a handful of small stories going on simultaneously that Master Chief is trying his escape.
Halo is something that is 2nd nature to lads of my generation. Everybody and their mom knows of the well-known Halo trilogy. It is an ordinary mark of Good vs. Evil. I indorse this book to anybody who would like to discover a perplexing new Sci-Fi. The book is truly diverse from what people would expect from the game, as the book goes more in depth of Master Chief's considerations and intentions, it really gives u a trace of what Master Chief most of gone through as he was facing what you were reading.
Consequently, the book helps you explore the HALO universe and not only that, it is a very well written story. To sum up, "THE FLOOD" is a solid piece of writing that deserves more consideration than it is getting. This book is for anyone who adores the halo series and wants to build on to the halo story and to acquire more about the flood but be ready to draw in one of the best story's you'll ever read in the halo trilogy. I'd recommend this book to every single person out there older than 14 and people who played the award-winning X-Box game "Halo: Combat Evolved" Overall, this book is very enjoyable to read.

Best results?
For searching or for driving customers to a site?
Google... they have 70% of the search traffic.
My first priority for searches is not other than Google and after it Bing AOL, Ask and Alta Vista I use. I find these also helpful to find new results on early pages that may be can't find on Google earlier.
I would like to recommend Google for the best result
Originally Posted by eshopwiz

I beg to differ. Basing from the latest statistics, Google still holds around 85% of searches done on the web. Yahoo + Bing has 13%. Ergo, at the moment, there is only one SE worth optimizing for.
I guess it's Google for almost everyone. It's the fastest and most used Search engine ever.
Google is the best at the moment.
Time Attendance, Payroll, HR Software
Both are very good search engine it is difficult which one is better. if you seen quality wise Google is best choice. it's give you quality results as compare to others.
I prefer Google because most of search came from Google but Yahoo and Bing are not ignorable because People also aware about Yahoo and Bing , So don't forget work with yahoo and bing.
Google is the first search engine recommended by experts at the UC Berkeley Library, but they note that only about half the web is indexed by Google. They recommend using Yahoo! and Exalead as supplementary tools -- but they advise against using meta-search or clustering tools...
Google is king of all search engine. It's service are better than Yahoo.
It is also known as king of all search engines.
I prefer google always
because it give always Accurate result
Originally Posted by jimmyb45

Google receives far more visitors than Yahoo, so they're the more important engine to target with SEO. With that said, never rely solely on Google for your traffic; diversify with other search engines like Yahoo, Excite, etc, and also build organic links.
Linkbuildr.com - Highly effective link building services.
It would take at 2 -3 years from now for any contender to match Google as Search engine. They are just too good. I don;t believe Yahoo would overtake them. It would me any new company, but not Yahoo or Bing.

Rome: Engineering an Empire
Conquest, Lust, Murder., Revenge, and the power of unrivalled technology, these are the cornerstones in the foundation of the Roman Empire. For more than 500 years, Rome was the most powerful and advanced civilization the world had ever known, ruled by visionaries and tyrants whose accomplishments ranged from awe-inspiring to deplorable.
One characteristic linked them all ambition and the thirst for power that all Roman emperors shared fueled an unprecedented mastery of engineering and labour.
The Romans built magnificent palaces and colossal stadiums that dwarfed anything built previously. They left an imprint on technology that looms large over all that we create, and their advancements in engineering–arches, barrel vaults, domed ceilings, water distribution systems–still influence modern construction.
This documentary chronicles the spectacular and sordid history of the Roman Empire from the rise of Julius Caeser in 55 BC to its eventual fall around 537 AD, detailing the remarkable engineering feats that set Rome apart from the rest of the ancient world.
This documentary features extensive state-of-the-art CGI animation. The insights of engineers, archaeologists and historians from around the globe add rare depth to segments on Hadrian's Wall, Caesar's Bridge, the aqueducts, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Baths of Caracalla and more.
We'll go inside the remains of Emperor Nero's lavish Golden Palace for a rare look at how one of Rome's most notorious megalomaniacs lived.
The documentary also features exclusive never-before-seen footage shot on a diving expedition in the water channels underneath the Colosseum channels once used to flood the arena for bloody mock naval battles.

But to those who are I would like to say that I am so sorry it took me this long to get back. Sorry for making you all wait for an update. It was cruel injustice, I am aware.
All I can say as justification for my extended tardiness is that I had a LOT going on in my life. A lot of things that my conscience would not allow me to ignore, regardless of my passion for writing. Let's just say I wandered to deep into emotions that I ended up lost. If that makes any sense.
Having said all that, I am back now with no intention of leaving until we reach the end of this story.
If you would like to follow me on this journey once again I sincerely request that you skim through the previous updates so we can carry forward. It's been so long I may need to do so myself.
Look forward to an update early next week.
Friends, let's finish what we started.

Ryan to back budget deal
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan announced today he will support the budget agreement reached by GOP leaders with the White House though he also declared, "We simply can't keep doing business this way."
Ryan, who is in line to become House speaker, slammed the closed-door negotiations that produced the two-year agreement, telling reporters yesterday the process "stinks."
In this morning's announcement, the Janesville Republican promised a different approach if he's elected speaker. Still, Ryan said his vote was determined by whether there was a better alternative. He said the deal will strengthen safety net programs, "allow us to return to regular order in our budget process" and fund the needs of troops.
"What I've heard from members over the last two weeks is a desire to wipe the slate clean, put in place a process that builds trust, and start focusing on big ideas," Ryan said. "What has been produced will go a long way toward relieving the uncertainty hanging over us, and that's why I intend to support it. It's time for us to turn the page on the last few years and get to work on a bold agenda that we can take to the American people."

ESPN is making big changes at Summer XGames…
Although no press release has been published by ESPN, it is official:
Moto Super X has been dropped from the X Games program for Summer 2011. This, unfortunately, means that the X Game's "Adaptive" Moto Super X division has also been tabled. The decision is due to budget constraints within the X Games franchise. For the same reason, the Adaptive Skateboard Jam has also been cut.
Daniel Gale, AAS Director and official Sport Organizer for all Summer XGames "Adaptive" programming, notes that, at this time, he still hopes that the 2nd annual Adaptive Snowboarder X will return to the Winter X Games at Aspen, Colorado, in 2012.
He adds that "Adaptive Action Sports will continue to work with ESPN and the X Games to develop new and exciting programs within the current X Games program format. In the meantime, we will be at the AAS Booth in the Team ESPN tent in the Summer X Games Village. Please plan to visit!"
AAS continues to officially support the Extremity Games' adaptive motocross race. (For information on the Extremity Games, visit www.extremitygames.com)
To keep Adaptive Moto X momentum going, AAS proposes forming a coalition of individuals and organizations interested in developing an adaptive motocross series. "We all have contributed," says Gale, "in creating a new sport and that sport deserves a permanent home."
If you are interested in being a part of the "Adaptive Motocross Coalition" or have additional questions regarding the X Games events, please contact Daniel Gale via email at email@example.com.

Red Hat dumping Nasdaq for NYSE
Submitted by Ty on November 28, 2006 - 11:00am
Red Hat expects its shares to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange beginning December 12, the Linux seller said earlier this month.
The Raleigh, N.C.-based company said it expects the move away from the Nasdaq market "will increase Red Hat's visibility among investors, reduce trading volatility and offer more efficient pricing," said Chief Financial Officer Charlie Peters in a statement. The company's stock will be listed under the symbol RHT.

It is probably a good idea to state the obvious early on in this piece. That the continued divergence in how consumers are accessing content means that print sales will decline further in 2013.
It's the same prognosis offered at the beginning of 2012 and, indeed, 2011. We have seen alarming rates of circulation decay in some categories, particularly weeklies and the men's market. Yet 2012 was arguably most conspicuous for the lack of high-profile closures. There is also a cautious positivity about the future of magazine brands, as the stronger publishers have driven innovation in platform delivery, better-enabled the magazine reader to access content wherever they want and started to derive significant revenue from their digital platforms.
This year is therefore a potentially very exciting and defining one for the "hybrid multiplatform content experience" formerly known as magazines. It's a year when the pace of change and innovation will accelerate, engendering fear and inertia in weaker businesses while encouraging entrepreneurial thinking and the creation of new revenue streams in others.
However, the most significant event that will influence magazine brands over the next 12 months has probably already happened. If forecasts were correct, tablet penetration in the UK had doubled by the time publishers returned from their Christmas break. One in five of us may now own one. It's now a case of what we do with it.
This ubiquity of devices will dramatically expedite some of the trends and developments that we have seen recently. By the end of 2013, tablets will account for a significantly greater proportion of circulations. The bigger screen and the more "lean back" user experience of a tablet compared with a smartphone will lead new and lapsed magazine readers to trial in greater numbers. Once purchasing titles through the much-improved platform storefronts (eg. Apple Newsstand), there is also evidence emerging that these readers/users are positively exposed to and showing a propensity to buy other titles.
Making magazines work across the wider proliferation of devices and sizes is a real challenge for 2013, particularly for the more design-oriented brands. The user experience consumers expect across devices is something publishers are going to have to think about very carefully. Customers progressively want more than a basic replica of the print experience, and what they seek is also shaped by the different mindset they tend to have according to the device being used.
Brand footprints will continue to grow into new areas. Publishers must continue with experimentation ithe digital space, commercialising as-yet-untapped audiences (eg. social). Some will work, capturing the imagination of an audience and commercial partners, and some won't. Brands such as Men's Health and Runner's World are examples of those that have got it right and already derive significant revenues through e-commerce and services. Developments such as Grazia's "buy direct" shopping facility will stimulate more "affiliate" revenue streams.
Magazines need to be constantly evolving their propositions to meet consumer demands. The bigger publishing houses will have to sharpen their behaviour and be more nimble and quicker to learn, as smaller players such as ShortList Media and Time Out have demonstrated that there are tangible rewards in being brave. The confidence to fail fast, learn faster is not a traditional publishing trait due to the historic cost of innovation, but lower investment experiments will be more prevalent in the coming months.
Advertisers now value data very highly. Magazines have lots, from growing subscription sales to editorial touchpoints, competitions and offers. These should start to provide not only new and incremental revenue streams, but also augmented value for traditional advertising packages. And they can more easily demonstrate readers' levels of interaction with commercial content. For publishers, there are huge benefits to be derived from taking advantage of the opportunity to deepen the meaning behind each individual interaction.
But it does need investment in systems and skilled resource. There will be better control of production levels and more bundling strategies in print this year to cut costs. These budgets must be shrewdly reinvested into multiplatform solutions and the right kind of talent.
Magazine brands also need to diversify revenue streams through creating new real and virtual brand content and experiences. Wired is a fabulous example of how to take a brand into new areas such as pop-up stores and conferences. Condé Nast's fashion college, Cosmopolitan's publishing of erotic short stories and Nuts' expansion into branded package breaks (stag dos) are other recent innovations in this space. Brands such as BBC Good Food have been doing this for years, of course, but continuing reductions in copy sales income will stimulate more lateral thinking in this space.
Publishers also generate great content. Advertisers want more content-led solutions that work across platforms. Editorial teams are well-placed to create these ahead of creative agencies. They should do more.
In a digital world, print does still matter. Luxury brands still relish the environment and, in some categories (eg. fashion and home interest), both advertising and content favour the canvas of print. And to quote Nicholas Coleridge, "considered content and space, calm curated ideas which have been meticulously researched and put together" are very compelling for lucrative audiences who seek valued, stimulating, entertaining, targeted and trusted content.
Even in the battered weekly mass marketplace, circulations may be declining, but revenue is pouring in from retailers as some newspapers become less relevant for certain key female audiences. If they can establish meaningful fulfilment partnerships with the right advertisers, then the weeklies can potentially replace lost circulation revenue.
This could be a good year. Readers have a relationship with magazines that is unique and hard to replicate with other media. Customers are prepared to commit cash to brands they have a deep and valued relationship with and content they value. Publishers will need to get better in 2013 at identifying what readers value most and monetising it on whatever platform customers engage with them on. Those that don't might be doomed.

Boca's David Young turns passion for arcade gaming

Sometimes, just giving in to an impulse can lead to profitability.
That impulse came to Boca Raton entrepreneur David Young four years ago while he
was stopped at a red light in front of a game-repair store. The Funhouse pinball machine displayed at the shop rekindled his childhood passion for arcade gaming. He purchased
it on the spot.
The Funhouse became the first of Young's personal game collection. A year and
14 games later, he was forced to rent a warehouse to store his machines.
One day in 2002, Young was taking delivery of yet another pinball machine at his warehouse. A stranger approached him and offered to buy the game for $5,000. The next day, Young's first customer brought along a friend, who bought $20,000 worth of games.
It wasn't long before Young recognized the absence of a national business dedicated to the home
user of commercial coin-operated games. He followed his philosophy of "build it and they will come",
and BMI Gaming of Boca Raton was born.
The company today is one of the largest online retailers and distributors of new and refurbished arcade
games - jukeboxes, pinball machines and coin-operated games -- delivering to clients as far as Europe
and Japan. A total of 175 games are on working display at BMI's Boca Raton showroom, while more
than 500 gaming products are available at its Web site, https://www.bmigaming.com.
Pinball and video arcade machines make up 70 percent of sales, but the company also sells table tennis,
air hockey, foosball, pool and shuffleboard table games in addition to soda machines, snack machines,
slot machines, neon signs, kiddy rides and games that print tickets to be exchanged for gifts.
Melrose Park, Ill.-based Stern Pinball President Gary Stern describes Young as "one of the movers and
shakers of pinball retailing" who does a good job in spreading pinball gaming and "beating the drums."
Over the last three years, Young has used the Internet to fuel BMI's growth, conducting 90 percent of
its business online. The strategy has meant sales of $4.5 million in 2004, and revenue is expected to
double this year. According to Young, the company became profitable after its fifth month of
business and has continued to be profitable.
Young's clients range from college students, Baby Boomers, Wall Street traders, athletes, movie celebrities
and rock stars to churches and U.S. military bases.
The home-gaming market, nonexistent five years ago, has been spurred by several factors. The growth of
the Internet has made it easier to match buyers and sellers, the Sept. 11, 2001, cocooning effect has kept people at home and the rise of the Baby Boomers with spending power has fed demand for home-gaming.
Young now spends 80 hours each week single-handedly updating the 350-page Web site, managing his
seven employees and traveling to visit clients and gaming conventions around the country.
"As long as you love what you do, it's not work," said Young, a self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur,
who previously founded a semiconductor business and personal computer manufacturing company.
"I get charged up doing what I do."

Simplest way to use CoreOS with Wordpress?
I would like to do as little system admin as possible on a wordpress blog (so I can focus on writing than futz with SA). My ideal system would do auto-updates in terms of OS security, auto-backups of wordpress, and have an intrusion detection email notification system (perhaps something like opensource Tripwire...still looking on this). I understand that I can't count on auto-updating Wordpress.
My current thinking is to use a single instance of CoreOS (due to it's os level automatic updates) and a docker container for Wordpress. I've looked around for tutorials on how to best do this and I found a question that indicated some issues (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/mysql-and-wordpress-dockers-do-not-keep-running).
Consequently, I am wondering if it's worth going the CoreOS/docker route on this or is it better to stick to something like Ubuntu LTS (probably v14) with auto-security updates?
Thanks for your help.

Even as the Federal Drug Administration has made strides to prevent drug shortages, doctors, pharmacists and veterinarians still find themselves scrambling to fill prescriptions when drugs have been recalled, discontinued or back ordered.
The shortages are the result of manufacturing and economic factors, said Sarah Clark-Lynn, a spokeswoman for the F.D.A.
Some companies decide to discontinue drugs for business reasons, others have problems with their raw material suppliers and still others find manufacturing deficiencies that compromise the safety and efficacy of the drugs, she said.
"It's always a problem no matter where you go because it's on the manufacturer level," said Nancy Scanlon, the pharmacist in charge at Hunterdon Regional Pharmacy, part of the Hunterdon Medical Center system.
The pharmacy most recently experienced shortages of Adderall and Armour Thyroid, she said. When they are faced with a shortage, she said, they check with other pharmacies in the patient's area or find another medication in the same class of drugs that would be an appropriate alternative.
"It can be a big inconvenience for patients if they've been stable on a medication for a number of years," Scanlon said. "Changing can be a little disruptive … but being without any medication is far worse than being with a temporary change until what they can get is available again."
Sterile injectables have been of major concern for the F.D.A. and the industry, Clark-Lynn said.
A little less than a year ago, President Obama issued an executive order with the hope of resolving increasingly frequent and severe drug shortages. It orders the F.D.A. to get better advance warning of impending shortages, expedite its reviews of manufacturers' applications to make any critical drugs in short supply and prevent price gouging.
Early notification by pharmaceutical companies has made a huge difference in the F.D.A.'s ability to prevent shortages, Clark-Lynn said, adding that more than 200 shortages have been prevented since the executive order went into effect and more than 100 so far this year.
Following passage of the F.D.A. Safety and Innovation Act in July, the agency has received daily calls and e-mails from manufacturers about potential problems, giving it time to work with the company to solve its problems and to look for alternative sources, she said.
Scanlon said the F.D.A.'s Listserv notifies her of impending shortages, but not always in a timely manner.
"If you get them in a timely manner, you can kind of prepare yourself," she said. "It's pretty hard to predict what's going to be unavailable."
Veterinarian Chadd Tindall said pets also feel the pain of drug shortages. Where most years, he might have a shortage of one or two drugs a year, the number this year rose considerably.
"At least six of the major medications that we use have gone on back order or recall in the last eight months, not including the ones that we routinely use," said Tindall, who runs Mobile Veterinary Services in Delaware Township.
Heart worm-prevention pills, antibiotics, such as doxycycline to treat Lyme disease, anesthetics and behavioral medicines are among the drugs that have been in short supply, he said, adding that shortages can last two weeks or two months.
"For most orders, back orders and recalls are just an inconvenience if they're short-term," he said. "If they're discontinued, that's a whole other problem."
Tindall said he switches the animal to another medication, checks local pharmacies because the drugs for people and pets are often the same or, if the drug is discontinued, finds a compounding pharmacy, a type of pharmacy that produces custom-made drugs.
"It's more of a hassle than anything else," he said.

One of the great things about having young children in the house is the fact that books are always on-hand. LOVING this title right now.
"I'm a pout-pout fish
With a pout-pout face,
So I spread the dreary-wearies
All over the place."
We can all learn very meaningful lessons through these fine works of literature. Plus, I am more likely to actually COMPLETE a book if it has nice colorful images alongside the story.

Well? Apparently the side boob trend is so 2013 -- because Kendall Jenner went commando at the MuchMusic Video Awards. She showed off what can only be described as a "double side vag" or something to that effect.
Yes, my friends ... Kendall opted to leave her underwear at home for the evening, and she wasn't even the least bit subtle about it. I mean, plenty of celebs have gone commando on the red carpet before, but Kendall most definitely took the concept to a whole new level in her floor-length gown. It had two slits going all the way up to the hip, exposing, well, almost the sides of her vag.
I'm not kidding. How in the hell she managed to keep the piece of material covering her lady bits in place is beyond me.
Uhhhhh ... seriously?!?
Obviously Kendall was going for a certain level of shock value with this little number, but don't you think it's just a little bit much, especially for an 18-year-old? Sure, wearing skin-baring looks is kind of her thing, but it almost seems like she's running out of ideas as far as what will make her fans' jaws drop to the floor. Honestly, the only way she can really get any more attention from here on out is to show up on the red carpet totally naked -- though something tells me that might be frowned upon.
There's no denying that Kendall has an amazing body and looks pretty darn gorgeous in this dress -- but she doesn't have to try so hard to impress the crowd. A couple of slits up to her mid-thigh range would've done the trick, don't you think?
What do you think of Kendall's "side vag" debut?

Earlier this month, U.S. special operations forces seized another al Qaeda operative in Tripoli, and, were just hours away from potentially launching an additional raid to capture Ahmed Abu Khattalah, the aforementioned terrorist involved in the Benghazi attacks, CNN reported.
However, U.S. officials [Obama administration cronies] told CNN that, "With the Libyan government dealing with public outcry about the U.S. incursion into Libya, the White House became worried any raid in Benghazi could destabilize, and potentially bring down the fragile Libyan government."
Mr. Khattalah had openly operated in Benghazi for months and was interviewed by CNN's Arwa Damon, CNN reported.
Of course, the Obama administration's anxiety about evoking a negative reaction from the Libyan people, and consequently its reluctance to send U.S. Special Ops to capture Ahmed Abu Khattalah, raises the old question of whether the White House' failure, last year, to rescue the four Americans killed in the Benghazi attacks, was also due to similar anxieties, including potential public outcry from the Libyan people, anger from the Libyan government, battling Al Qaeda terrorists in Benghazi in light of the President's promise that support of the Libyan rebellion would not entail sending boots on the ground - and a looming Presidential election.
Ultimately, the Obama administration's inaction during the 2012 Benghazi attacks raised a host of questions, which were never really answered.
Defense Department officials, the likes of former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey, and U.S. Army Gen. Carter Ham, offered up contradictory statements - often contradicting their own statements - about the Benghazi debacle.
However, one of Panetta's contradictory statements is one of my all-time favorites from the Benghazi fiasco.
As I noted previously:
Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta offered up two contradictory explanations as to why there was no military operation to rescue U.S. officials who were under attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.
During an October 2012 press briefing, Panetta claimed he was lacking real-time information at the time, and as a result of not having this information, he felt he couldn't send the FAST platoons, and other forces that were deployed in the region, into "harm's way" in "that situation". Hence, he made the decision not to send the forces to Benghazi.
However, during a hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee in February of 2013, Panetta offered up a different excuse [prevarication]: There was no conscious decision, on his part, not to send forces to Benghazi, into "harm's way". But rather, the reason why U.S. forces did not head out to Benghazi was because the attack at the U.S. consulate had ended before they could get off the ground. And, Panetta added, there was no reason to assume that the CIA annex would later come under attack - despite the fact that there were two attacks on the annex, more than four hours apart.
Two different, contradictory, explanations from Panetta; par for the course, for this administration...

taking the living wage to the regions?
I've commented on the reasons why we should be campaigning for a "living wage" from the student halls of Kings College to the streets of Johannesburg, via the skyscrapers of the City and even across Europe. Friends have been advocating this too and even Obama's new labour secretary, Hilda Solis.
Just reading Mil's post and David Semple's post over at Liberal Conspiracy about regional minimum wages, after San Francisco's decision to increase its minimum wage, it reminded me that we need to push the councils where we live to define what the minimum hourly wage needed to live about the poverty line is - this may be different from city to city (compare London & Liverpool) and region to region (compare the South East and the North East). We also need to get the organisations that employ us to join the growing coalition of "living wage employers".
Obviously, we don't all have "living wage units" like at the GLA in London, but the "minimum income standard" project run by the JRF provides a well researched measure of how much a worker needs to earn to avoid the effects of poverty, such as ill health, poor levels of child development and social exclusion and not just related to the consumer price index. Calculations can even be made for different family types. Have a look at http://www.minimumincomestandard.org/cost_calculator/reckoner/index.htm and campaign in your workplace with our toolkit here!
What about the merits of a basic income? Don Paskini blogs that Namibia has introduced this whereby every citizen gets 100 dollars per month without being means-tested. This is paid for through more progressive taxation on those in poverty and higher taxes for those well off. I'm keen to find out more about this and will blog about basic income soon.

Many students having difficulty understanding Shakespeare would be surprised to learn that he wrote in modern English. But, as can be seen in the earlier example of the Lord's Prayer, Elizabethan English has much more in common with our language today than it does with the language of Chaucer. Many familiar words and phrases were coined or first recorded by Shakespeare, some 2,000 words and countless catch-phrases are his. Newcomers to Shakespeare are often shocked at the number of cliches contained in his plays, until they realize that he coined them and they became cliches afterwards. "One fell swoop," "vanish into thin air," and "flesh and blood" are all Shakespeare's. Words he bequeathed to the language include "critical," "leapfrog," "majestic," "dwindle," and "pedant." —A (Very) Brief History of the English Language (WordOrigins.org)

I have no idea what this piece of furniture is called... I've heard so many different names. A dresser? A credenza? A sideboard? I think sideboards have cabinets so it's probably not that. I'm using it in my bedroom so we'll call it a dresser. Whatever it is, I'm in love with it.
One word: messy!!! A few more words: a lot of hard work!!! A neighbor saw me working and said, "it will be worth it though". I wasn't so sure. Here are the drawers after being stripped
I just kind of rolled my eyes about the MCM furniture purists, but after seeing the quality of wood and craftsmanship that went into this piece, I'm a believer!
I was really nervous doing this and thought for sure I was going to end up destroying the piece. It turns out I'm really happy with the final results!
up close
and from the top
I'm so proud of myself. I'm allowed to say that, right? Well, it's my birthday today so maybe just today I can say that. I just didn't think I'd ever be capable of something like this.
Here's the process I used, in case you're curious
wash the dresser down
apply Citristrip
wait overnight then scrape with plastic scrapers
wash off remaining stripper
have husband get into crevices of dresser to remove stuff I'm too lazy to get to
sand with 100 grit
wipe down
sand with 220 grit
wipe down
let dry overnight
wipe down with tack cloth
brush on stain
after 15 minutes wipe off stain with cloth
wait overnight
3 coats poly, sanding with 400 grit and wiping down in between coats

Abstract: The article discusses formal aspects of the notion of context as needed in AI applications. We advocate the use of Martin-Löf's intuitionistic type theory to formalize and implement contexts. Through many examples belonging to the domains of computational semantics and knowledge based systems, we show that the built-in notion of context in intuitionistic type theory is a structure rich enough for representing most of the features that characterize contexts in an AI perspective. The fact that many recent theorem provers are built on the different theories of types suggests new perspectives in the development of AI applications.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present a novel method of image segmentation based on multiresolution analysis. The main idea consists of the extraction of image parts which are coherent and are enclosed by a coherent region classified to another type. Segmentation is processed in two steps. The first, consists of pixel classification into predefined types and the second is detection of the hierarchical structure of an image. The method is presented here on examples being biomedical images but it may be also applied to analyze other types of images.

Abstract: Irrelevance relations are sets of statements of the form: given that the 'value' of Z is known, the 'values' of Y can add no further information about the 'values' of X. Undirected Graphs (UGs), Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and Chain Graphs (CGs) were used and investigated as schemes for the purpose of representing irrelevance relations. It is known that, although all three schemes can approximate irrelevance, they are inadequate in the sense that there are relations which cannot be fully represented by anyone of them. In this paper annotated graphs are defined and suggested as a new model for graphical …representation. It is shown that this new model is a proper generalization of the former models: any irrelevance relation that can be represented by either one of the previous models can also be represented by an annotated graph, and there are relations that can be represented by an annotated graph but cannot be represented by either one of the former models. The question of whether this new model is powerful enough to represent all the irrelevance relations, as well as some other related questions, is still open. Show more

Abstract: In [8, 11] the expressive completeness of the Propositional fragment of Duration Calculus relative to monadic first-order logic of order was established. In this paper we show that there is at least an exponential blow-up in every meaning preserving translation from monadic logic to PDC. Hence, there exists an exponential gap between the succinctness of monadic logic and that of duration calculus.

Cut-and-Paste Is a Skill, Too
I have a confession to make: Today I plagiarized multiple documents at work. I took the writing of others and presented it to my supervisor as if it were my own. It was an open secret that my entire report, written "by Jason Johnson," had been composed by others and that I had been merely an editor. Instead of a reprimand, I was rewarded with a post-briefing latte.
But on some level, it still felt wrong. Before coming to work at my current company, I spent most of the past 15 years as an educator, advising students from second-graders to college seniors that taking the work of others and presenting it as your own is morally wrong and intellectually dishonest. I've fretted over proper citations and labored with students over the highly subjective art of paraphrasing.
Now I watch my former teaching colleagues grade papers not simply by marking a dangling participle here or an incomplete thought there, but by Googling phrases from their students' work, searching for the suspected source of yet another cut-and-paste job. I wonder if that's really what teachers should be doing. As kids today plagiarize more and more from the Internet, the old-fashioned term paper -- composed by sweating students on a typewriter as they sat elbow-deep in reference books -- has no useful heir in the digital age. It's time for schools and educators to recognize the truth: The term paper is dead.
Students' work today looks more like the slick work report I had "written" than any original academic achievement. The problem isn't due to a dramatic decline in young people's moral character, nor the rise of the Internet and its endless bounty. The problem is that schools have relied too long and too heavily on the paper as the most significant method of evaluating students. But that's going to have to change.
Internet plagiarism is growing at a rapid pace, according to recent studies and the anecdotal evidence I hear from my former colleagues in education -- and there's no end in sight.
Research papers -- of varying lengths, written without the instructor's direct supervision -- are an academic staple. They've been a successful way for teachers and professors to evaluate students because they allow the students to create something that tangibly displays their skills and knowledge without using any class time. But despite all its attractive qualities, the paper is an extremely weak link in academic assessment, largely for the same reasons that it has been successful -- the work is done outside the classroom.
Schools have responded by upping their use of academic integrity pledges and search engines such as TurnItIn.com, which checks student work against a large database of previously written material. But the rise of such measures hasn't reduced plagiarism at all; in fact, students and teachers are more likely to spar over plagiarism than ever before.
Young people today are simply too far ahead of anything schools might do to curb their recycling efforts. Beyond simply selling used term papers online, Web sites such as StudentofFortune.com allow students to post specific questions and pay for answers.
Enterprising young scholars can also upload their completed homework assignments, and the site will broker a sale to someone who is stumped while using the same textbook. For a fee of $1, for instance, user "brittanymarie" from "calloway country high school" can get the answer to this burning query: "During the process of transcription, DNA serves as the template for making what?" The people behind StudentofFortune, not so far removed from their school days themselves, say this isn't cheating -- it's just a chance for students to "ask their colleagues for help on difficult problems."
The proliferation of sites like these leaves teachers with an even more vexing problem: how to test what students really know. The time-honored paper now teaches students a very different skill set, one that appears to be unintentional and largely unrecognized -- but one that's much closer to what I do at work these days. One university professor, writing anonymously on his "concernedprofessor" blog, notes that students today create "hyper-plagiarism which becomes harder and harder to catch. While these chimera-esque papers can, most of the time, be easily spotted through the mixing of language styles, clever students can pass these off throughout their academic careers with little worry."
My transfer from education to the world of business has reminded me just how important it is to be able to synthesize content from multiple sources, put structure around it and edit it into a coherent, single-voiced whole. Students who are able to create convincing amalgamations have gained a valuable business skill. Unfortunately, most schools fail to recognize that any skills have been used at all, and an entire paper can be discarded because of a few lines repeated from another source without quotation marks.
The most obvious choice for teachers and schools is to simply change the way they assess students. Schools could turn to in-class assignments as a more reliable way of evaluating what students know and how well they can express it. The problem with this is that it takes up valuable teaching time, and in-school resources for such assignments, from libraries to technology, vary greatly.
Nevertheless, the educational system needs to acknowledge what the paper is today: more of a work product that tests very particular skills -- the ability to synthesize and properly cite the work of others -- and not students' knowledge, originality and overall ability.
I envision a time when TurnItIn.com's database contains millions of essays on Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre." At that point educators may finally understand that no high school student will be able to write another original word on the subject.
So let's declare "The paper is dead" before the database makes the declaration for us. And let's recognize what the paper has become, so that we can declare, "Long live the paper!" firstname.lastname@example.com

While there are no commandments that you need to follow, however, there are some key preventative measures to be taken and also blunders to be prevented while picking a supplier for email appending.
- Go with high quality and also non-rate:
Remember your company purposes for investing in e-mail appending companies. Your objective is to upgrade and also cleanse your existing data source as well as get to call info of prospective customers. Your purpose is not to almost handle anything as long as it comes low-cost! When you discover vendors quoting different figures for their solutions, only do not compromise and also choose the least expensive provider or the most costly one. Price does not assure quality. See to it you connect plainly exactly what your assumptions and needs are and also whether the vendor will certainly have the ability to deliver them. We can work on the price and quantity of data when you make certain that your business's track record is not at stake!
- Disregarding the significance of Opt-In and Opt-Out e-mail alternatives:
Your brand name has a track record. Do not allow negligence damages your brand's online reputation. While selecting a supplier for e-mail appending and e-mail address, make sure they can provide 100% opt-in e-mail option. The opt-in email indicates that when upgrading the database with email ids, they should send a welcome email or approval based e-mail to evaluate the validity of the e-mail id. The e-mail id likewise makes certain that particular privacy is appreciated as well as they can opt-out if they do not want to participate in e-mail projects.
- Evaluate your vendor alternatives very carefully:
When you walk into a store, every product has different options to select. Do you merely grab the very first item that you look? Or do you thoroughly consider your choices before picking a thing that will fit your needs and budget? As a client, don't just purchase the companies of the first supplier you encounter and also do not be seduced by sugar-coated business talk! Do your research and seek the response to concerns like – how long have they remained in the market, that are their customers, where are they positioned, which industry/sector do they excel at and so forth. Understand that if you have had the ability to identify a vendor with honesty as well as condition, in most cases they will not over guarantee. Though they are keen to attract a new customer, they as well have an online reputation to preserve! Listing Building: The numerous Sources
- Trusting your personal resources for checklist construction:
The procedure of e-mail appending starts with you! You should supply your supplier with an existing data source for them to update. So don't let any stone unturned in collating an exhaustive and also extensive database. Make sure that you have the ability to generate maximum data via organic ways – sites, social networking sites, calls, events/promotional campaigns, client recommendations as well as whatever other means you can consider. Taking into consideration that company emails lapse at the rate of 3-6% on a monthly basis, you will probably still call for appending solutions, however, make certain that your very own data source is an excellent one!
- Do not pile on as well as exaggerate your individualized messages:
Remember that your purpose is to attract as well as retain clients and listened to get your message. It is essential to send suitable messages to customers, however, don't overdo it. Additionally, though including an individual note like "Dear Tom" or "Hello Sophia" is sure means to grab consumer interest. Emails manually sent are taken into consideration of sending personalized messages.
So when you invest in e-mail adding companies do not expect to get instant outcomes. Additionally, in specific situations, there will certainly be undelivered emails and also some unhappy consumer problems! Do not be disheartened. Plan your projects perfectly as well as slowly you will certainly get suitable actions. Whatever you do, make certain you do not make the common mistakes!
