Design: Cohort surveillance study. Methods: We conducted laboratory-based surveillance for meningococcal disease in Gauteng Province, South Africa. HIV status and outcome data were obtained at sentinel sites. Incidence in HIV-infected and uninfected persons was calculated assuming a similar age-specific HIV prevalence in tested and untested individuals. Risk factors for death and bacteremia (as compared with meningitis) were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression. Results: From 2003 to 2007, 1336 meningococcal cases were reported. Of 504 patients at sentinel sites with known outcome, 308 (61%) had HIV serostatus data. HIV prevalence amongst cases of meningococcal disease was higher than the population HIV prevalence in all age groups. The incidence of meningococcal disease in HIV-infected individuals was elevated in all age groups with an age-adjusted relative risk of 11.3 [95% confidence interval (CI) 8.9–14.3, P < 0.001]. The case-fatality ratio (CFR) was 20% (27/138) amongst HIV-infected and 11% (18/170) amongst HIV-uninfected individuals [odds ratio (OR) 2.1, 95% CI 1.1–3.9]. On multivariable analysis, CFR was greater amongst patients with bacteremia (35%, 29/82) compared with meningitis (7%, 16/226) (OR 7.8, 95% CI 3.4–17.7). HIV infection was associated with increased odds of bacteremia (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.5–5.0). Conclusion: HIV-infected individuals may be at increased risk of meningococcal disease. The increased CFR in HIV-infected patients may be explained by their increased odds of bacteremia compared to meningitis. aNational Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD), a division of the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS), Johannesburg, South Africa bSchool of Public Health, South Africa cSchool of Pathology, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa dHubert Department of Global Health, Rollins School of Public Health, and Division of Infectious Diseases, School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA eEpidemic Intelligence Service Program, Office of Workforce and Career Development, USA fDivision of Bacterial Diseases, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

l'Oréal Colorista Spray Review
A few weeks back I tried the l'Oréal Colorista Washout in #DirtyPink. Despite the warning on the back, I was stubborn, and wanted to see whether it would turn my dark hair pink at all. It didn't. However, there's still hope for us dark-haired ladies that want coloured hair without bleaching first. The Colorista range also contains a few coloured sprays, that offer one day of brightly coloured hair on any base colour. They wash out after one wash so they're super temporary. I'm going to give them a go today, and let you know what I think!
l'Oréal gave me three of the Colorista sprays: #hotpinkhair, #turquoisehair and #pastelblue hair. The pastel colours from this range are more geared towards blonde hair, but should still work on dark hair. I'm going to try them all! My personal little goal is to create the mermaid hair look, which I think is really cool. I'm naively going in without a plan and going to try to get the look by just spraying random strands of hair with the different colours. Let's hope that works.
Starting with #pastelblue, as I'm most curious to see how this one will perform on dark hair. Before you get started, make sure to drape a towel over your shoulders or wear an old T-shirt. It's going to get messy. I donned my good old Evanescence hair dying tee, and used it as a spray shield.
Right away I was super impressed. Look at that colour payoff! For a colour that's made specifically for blondes, it performs incredibly well.
Let's try #hotpink, then. This one looks really good as well! It definitely comes out as a true pink. Much better than what the dye gave me, haha!
Moving on to #turquoise. Just like the other two colours, this one performs very well. It gives an intense colour payoff.
The spray comes out of a little nozzle, which makes it pretty easy to control where you're spraying. I found it easiest to spray from really up close as you lose the least spray that way and get an intense colour right away.
When you're done spraying, you're supposed to give your hair a minute to dry, and then brush it out. Be careful when doing this, the hair sticks together because of the dye and it's a bit hard to comb through. Also be sure to use a plastic comb that you can wash afterwards, you will get a lot of colour transfer. Brushing or combing the hair does make it look a lot better though, so I don't recommend skipping this step.
After combing, go over your hair with a layer of hairspray to seal the colour in and prevent it from transferring to your clothes.
And here's my finished look! Errr… Hahaha I'm pretty sure the "random strands method" isn't the right way to go about achieving mermaid hair. If you're going for something more complicated like what I was trying to do, it may be better to ask a friend to do it for you. Go in with a plan, people. If you just want to cover the bottom of your hair or some strands with one colour, you can do it yourself perfectly well. The spray is really easy and straightforward to use. The only thing I struggled with is getting it to "blend" nicely so it wouldn't look blotchy or have a straight line at the top. I think blending nicely should be possible to do by gradually spraying from further away as you move up to create a gradient, but that'll definitely take some practice (or experience with graffiti sprays).
I'm super impressed by #pastelblue! I actually think that might be my favourite one, as it's the biggest contrast with my natural colour which really makes it stand out. The other two definitely look great too, though.
Don't wear light clothing under this, as it will transfer through friction or when it gets wet. I tried to fishtail braid my coloured hair before going out the door to get a bit more of a subtle look, but I'm afraid more of the colour ended up on my hands than what stayed in my hair. When I went to wash my hair in the evening, the colour was completely gone in three shampoos.
Final verdict? Positive! I think this is a very fun, easy and approachable way to have bright hair for a day. It's just a spray coating so don't expect it to last or not transfer. The colour payoff is amazing though, and makes it worth it in my opinion. I would definitely use this again!
l'Oréal Colorista Spray is available at drugstores for around €8.

Here was something I tweeted a few days before Super Bowl 50:
You will never guess which were the two years this team made the Super Bowl, and which were the two they missed it pic.twitter.com/1QtaQYTUtl
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) January 30, 2016
The 2012 Broncos were awesome. Peyton Manning, while not having the scorched-earth campaign he would enjoy a year later, still led the NFL in ANY/A and Total QBR, and received 19.5 of 50 votes for Most Valuable Player (Adrian Peterson picked up the other 30.5). The Broncos finished 2nd in points and 4th in yards, while on defense, the team ranked 4th in points and 2nd in yards. Perhaps more impressively, the Broncos defense ranked 1st in Net Yards per Attempt, and in the top three in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and yards per carry.
The Broncos did have an easy schedule, but they were one of four teams that stood head and shoulders above the rest of the NFL, along with the Patriots, Seahawks, and 49ers. Of course, a Joe Flacco pass to Jacoby Jones, combined with a Rahim Moore blunder, wound up ruining the dream season.
The 2013 Broncos became the first and only team in NFL history to score 600 points in a season. The Denver defense was much worse, though, as Elvis Dumervil was now a Raven, while Von Miller and Champ Bailey combined to start just 12 games due to injury. The Broncos ranked 22nd in points allowed, 19th in yards allowed, and 17th in net yards per attempt. This one a one-sided team, and probably a worse one than the 2012 version. Of course, this Denver team made it to the Super Bowl.
In 2014, Manning declined significantly, but his season-long numbers were still pretty darn good: in fact, he ranked 3rd in passing value over average. C.J. Anderson proved to be Denver's best running back of the Manning era: in the final 8 games of the regular season, he rushed 162 times for 767 yards (4.73) and 8 touchdowns, while also gaining 290 receiving yards and catching two more scores. The defense, with a healthy Miller, DeMarcus Ware to replace Dumervil, was much better, too, and received Pro Bowl seasons in the secondary out of Chris Harris, Aqib Talib, and T.J. Ward. While Denver did rank 16th in points allowed, much of that was due to the fast pace and high-scoring offense (the Broncos also faced the most passing attempts in the NFL, with 641): Denver ranked 1st in net yards per attempt allowed and 4th in yards per carry allowed. But the pass rush disappeared in the playoff loss to the Colts, while a clearly injured Manning was a disaster.
Then, this year, the Broncos were about as one-sided as the 2013 edition, albeit in a different direction. And, of course, Denver won the Super Bowl, as perhaps an even more extreme version of the 2000 Ravens. Based on DVOA, Denver ranked in the top 5 in both offense and defense in 2012 and 2014, while ranking 15th in defensive DVOA in 2013 and 25th in offensive DVOA th syear.
So what does it all mean? One takeaway, of course, could be that balance be damned: having one dominant unit is the best way to make it to the Super Bowl. That would be an understandable conclusion from analyzing four team seasons of football, but would not hold up under any significant sample. In general, being really good on offense and defense is a much better formula than being excellent on offense or defense, and mediocre on the other side.
Another conclusion? The playoffs are a random mess, and the best way to win a Super Bowl is to have as many lottery tickets as possible. In 2004, the Steelers went 15-1, but they did not win the Super Bowl until a year later. In 2005, the Colts started 13-0, but Indianapolis didn't win the Super Bowl until a year later, either. In 2011, the Packers went 15-1, but Green Bay won the Super Bowl the prior year; in '11, the Packers lost to the Giants in the team's first playoff game. The Patriots had a number of great teams from 2005 to 2013, but none of them won it all; the 2014 version was not the best team New England had during that stretch (and maybe not even the 2nd or 3rd best), but that was the one that won the title.
No team exemplifies this more than Baltimore. The Flacco Ravens made the playoffs year after year — in '08, '09, '10, '11, '12, and '14 — giving the Ravens a bunch of lottery tickets. The one team that pulled through in 2012 didn't stand out — during the regular season — as much different than any of the other Baltimore teams.
So perhaps the real lesson from the 2015 Broncos about how to win the Super Bowl isn't about how to go from very good to great, but rather to be very good for a long enough stretch to finally take home the trophy.

who would win a fight lucas or ness.
You mean who would WIN a fight? I would say lucas because he has a few better moves than Ness, for example Ness has that stupid yo-yo that is so weak.
Lucas is mainly slower than Ness (in terms of attack speed). However, the real question here is, who's the better player?
When I've fought Ness, I've been able to stand a chance, but when I fight a Lucas, I never hit the floor.
lmao Lucas!! hes would when he controls so well def my fav character along with pikachu

Posts Tagged 'sodium intake'
What is a sodium-restricted diet for hypertensive patient ?
Many patients with hypertension are sodium sensitive, meaning their blood pressure increases after they consume excessive amounts of sodium and decreases after they reduce their sodium intake.
Such patients may be prescribed a sodium restricted diet, which usually limits sodium consumption to 2 grams a day.
If your patient must comply with such a diet, help him make the change.
Along with his dietitian, provide nutritional counseling soon after his hypertension is diagnosed.
Include the family or caregiver in your teaching, especially if she prepares the patient's food at home.
Your patient must understand which foods and drugs contain sodium.
Explain that the most common sources of sodium are table salt, processed foods, drugs, and softened water.
Common table salt consists of 40% sodium and 60% chloride, so if he takes in 6 grams of salt, he's actually consuming 2.4 grams of sodium.
Tell him to be alert for products that list sodium ingredients such as sodium benzoate and sodium citrate.
Also, teach your hypertensive patient how to read food labels for sodium content.
* Sodium-Free: less than 5 mg of sodium per serving.
* Very Low Sodium: 35 mg or less per serving.
* Reduced Sodium: sodium content reduced by at least 25% of usual level.
* Light Sodium: sodium content reduced by at least 50% of usual level.
Caution your patient about foods that claim to be low in sodium.
If the sodium content is less than 5 mg per serving, he can eat the food without concern.
If it's higher than 5 mg, he'll need to include the amount in his calculation of sodium intake for the day.
If necessary, he should ask his physician or pharmacist to recommend alternative drugs with little or no sodium.
The DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is a diet promoted by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (part of the NIH, a United States government organisation) to control hypertension.
The Dieatary Glycemic Index menus and diet plans will help you to apply the DASH diet.

It's hard to think about Tomorrow when you're bogged down in Today. Today brings carpooling, dirty laundry, tired kids, picky eaters, messy homes, friend problems, struggles in school or sports. Today is all-consuming.
I've always told my kids to live one day at a time. And I still believe that. However, while living one day at a time, it is also important to keep Tomorrow in the back of your mind.
You see, Today, our children are just "our children." But Tomorrow, our children are going to be other peoples' husbands and wives, and the parents of our grandchildren. They're going to be bosses and presidents and CEOs. They are going to be politicians and doctors and firefighters and teachers.
How you raise your kids Today will determine who they will be Tomorrow. And how we love and guide our children Today will determine what Tomorrow looks like for a lot of other people.
I know that sometimes it's hard to see past Today. Pain or drudgery or loneliness can fog up our ability to see anything past the present moment. I've been through seasons of life like that. But somehow, someway, we have to dig down deep and still give our kids the love and support and guidance they need because Tomorrow a lot of folks are depending on "our children".
I want my kids to make a positive impact in their world. I want them to help and lead others. I want to know that the years I sacrificed for them were not in vain and that they are paying the love and compassion forward to their own kids and grandkids.
Tomorrow, I don't want to look back on Today and have regrets.

text: What's the problem, Bucky? Your winter wiper blades lifting off at speed? You're passing a transport in two inches of slush, your blade is making a nice arc half an inch off the glass, you can't see the end of the hood, and you don't know whether to $hit or go blind? Is that the problem? Is it? You may need the WiperWing, a mod for the UrS cars to keep that blade firmly on the glass, yours for only a small annual fee - ah, it's Christmas, you can have it for free. Unlike the Type 44, the airfoil on the UrS4 is part of the wiper blade assembly. For us in the Northern climes, the regular blades freeze up in winter, so I run rubber-sheathed winter wiper blades. These, of course, have no foils, so they lift off the glass at speeds above 100 kph. I installed a auxiliary spring which held the blade down up to 120 kph, but this is hardly satisfactory. So - I've installed a wing off a Type 44 on my UrS4 drivers side arm. Just tested it out today in freezing rain - got up to 120 kph with no lift, but the ice covered road prevented higher speed testing (too many 60 kph drivers about). I've written up the mod with photos - it's in a 260 KB .pdf file. Anyone who wants it is welcome to it. Looks like a winner so far. Fred Munro '94 S4

Smallmouth Bass
Rainy Lake's smallmouth bass is some of the best in Northern Ontario, if not North America. The structure of the north arm of Rainy Lake is ideal bass habitat. Smallmouth bass fishing on Rainy Lake is truly an avid fisherman's outdoor adventure.
Rainy Lake's Smallmouth Fishery, Rated Amongst the World's Best!
The structure of the north arm of Rainy Lake is ideal for smallmouth fishing. There are hundreds of islands with baseball to basketball sized boulder shoals and reefs coming off of them. Large areas of cabbage and pencil weed alongside these shoals and reefs create unbeatable habitat. Crayfish, baitfish of all kinds, and especially smelt are the main forage.
Spring fishing (pre-spawn) in May and early June is done off of any point or reefs with some sandier areas in behind. Fish congregate and stage in water around 14′ -18′ deep, waiting for the water temperature to warm up. This is the time when tube jigs, grubs, and jerkbaits work best. Plastics can also be thrown to the shores. When the ice goes off the lake, smallmouths move up into the very shallow water and start to feed. Slow moving plastics thrown shallow and retrieving slowly back is productive. During the first couple of weeks in June, the spawn is on. We prefer you do not target bedding areas. Fishing on the outer edges or points adjacent to these areas will pay off. Fish must be released very quickly.
During the summer months, the fish are found in many areas of the lake. Some school up and chase the smelts in the deep water's away from the structure. Others can be found in the huge cabbage beds in shallower water. Depending on the weather of the day and evening, topwater bites are awesome. Windier days weightless plastics or weighted tubes or grubs can be thrown towards the wavy points or banks. Jigging in deeper water, trolling, fly-fishing, casting crankbaits and other methods can all be used.
Fall fishing, probably the best of the year, is done on the sunken humps and rocky deeper points. This is when Rainy Lake fishing really begins to shine. The smallmouth school up in the hundreds. This is also the time of year when you really know what "fish eating smelt" is all about. The bellies on these fish are incredible. Weights in the 3 – 5 lb range are average, and 5 to 7 pounders are also fairly common. A 19 inch fish on Rainy Lake is now in the 4 to 4.5 lb range.
Our catch-and-release policy on smallmouth bass will ensure that Rainy Lake's North Arm will continue to have a world-class bass fishery.

Discussion in 'Rugby League Forum' started by DSM5, Apr 25, 2010.
JWH just gave away a really dumb penalty, Dragqueens rolled down and scored a try. Idiot off side.Â
ok then....
He can't tackle still, that part hasn't developed yet. he is aggressive and has a go at big shots, but seems to miss more than he makes. Should develop into a good player if he can be taught a tackling technique
ok then...he needs to be told that one needs to get onside before making the tackle. easy for some, difficult for JWH. Â
Drop the bone DSM5, he has gone. Was JWH best mates with Orford?
Seems a strange axe to grind DSM. The bloke has gone, for reasons that none of us may fully understand. Good luck to him. And if he contributes to the Rooters losing even better.
Put him in the ben walker sandpits
Fair enough.
I don't know why anybody really cares that we let this guy go. I can't think of any player that Manly has let go in the past that turned out to be the wrong move. If Manly really wanted to retain JWH they would have. I wouldn't trade JWH for any of Manly's current top squad. Let it go, just like Cuthbo, who cares.
JWH is just as irrelevant as his political 'initial-sake'!! Gone.

"I am pretty much fed up with the negative, defensive situation we in the automotive companies nowadays are so often put in," Dr Wolfgang Reitzle (pictured), head of Ford's Premier Auto Group, said at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show.
Reitzle discarded his prepared remarks and instead spoke passionately about the auto industry and a future that might include dealerships with their own test tracks and vacation packages sold along with certain cars.
Car companies should stop thinking of themselves as manufacturers of "sheet metal boxes" and define themselves as "mobility enterprises", he said.
"In the future, it must not only be that we sell cars. You can buy mobility from us," he said.
For instance, Dr Reitzle suggested that a globe-trotting customer might pay Ford $US50,000 for a "mobility package", which would provide a car wherever in the world it was needed.
Reitzle also said car makers have much to learn from the fashion industry and companies such as Wal-Mart, which know how to package an experience and make shopping pleasant.
He had harsh words for the typical American car dealership, which he called a "parking lot with a roof".
He called the widely-spread American practice of offering rebates a "disease" that cheapens a brand. "This comes from creating unattractive products which nobody wants that can only be sold by rebates," he said.
Reitzle criticised financial analysts who put great value on Internet companies but consider the automotive industry to be a poor investment. "I think we are the future economy," he said. "Because there is no substitution for the car, it will always grow."
Reitzle heads Ford's luxury car division, representing the Jaguar, Aston Martin, Land Rover, Lincoln and Volvo brands. The company is planning to place greater emphasis on sales of its luxury vehicles.
"Last year we sold more than 1,000 Aston Martins and I tell you, a few hundred went to these dot-com millionaires," Reitzle said, generating a huge laugh. "Even in this way we have an advantage."
Reitzle said catering to individual customers will become increasingly crucial to survival.
"My prediction is that the last step of personalisation will take place in the big dealerships," he said. "The big, strong dealers will not only have a service shop, they will also have a shop for personalisation, where the dealer can change parts, make the interior a personalised interior. You can change the colors. You can change it after a year."
Reitzle said a new Premier Auto Group dealership will open soon near Phoenix that will have all five Ford luxury brands under one roof and will include two test tracks, including one simulating off-road conditions.
The group has moved its headquarters to Irvine, California, where it will open a design studio, Reitzle said. A second studio in London will design branded merchandise for sale along with the cars, he said.

For years my lunatic Apple friends have asked me: "when are you going to get a Mac?". When I finally did, they started asking me: "when are you going to get an iPhone?". As iOS is growing increasingly more useful with good notifications and over-the-air updates, my answer has been trimmed down to when it has a Gmail app that's as good as the Android one. "Gmail with IMAP works great" is the usual knee-jerk reaction and "what's so special about the Gmail app?" the followup question. I'm thinking perhaps it's time I change my stock answer. I think my new response will be: sync.
This morning on my way to work I was listening to Macbreak Weekly. A bunch of my heroes, including John Gruber, were talking about iCloud sync and the problems some of them were experiencing. Tonya had factory reset her iPhone several times trying to get contacts to sync properly. Andy jokingly suggested the merging of contacts was painful and would sometimes merge 17 different versions of the same contact into a lean 12. Chris suggested it was a good idea to make sure you had a backup of the contacts, calendar and email setup you considered "canonical", before embarking on your iCloud adventure. When the team started talking about the supposed iOS 5 battery drain, iCloud was almost universally assumed responsible for this.
Grubers level-headed approach was that, while he apparently had no problems himself, he did believe Apples iCloud transition was going to be monumentally difficult and compared it to stepping from solid ground on to a boat while carrying valuable trinkets. Transitioning MobileMe customers to a new free setup, making sure not only calendars, email and contacts sync, but also documents, was bound to generate some headaches, but they'll pass in time, he suggested. I agree, I'm sure things'll improve once Apple is on the boat.
Perhaps there is something to be said about Apples approach to sync. As much as they tout that "the truth is in the cloud" — as Yogi Berra would say: that's only true when it's true. It's no secret Apple loves native apps. Native apps run faster, smoother, nicer than web-apps. You'll hear many chant this, they might even use allegories such as "being closer to the metal" when describing why a web-app can never be as good as a native app. Let me tell you this: Yogi Berra doesn't care. If it works, it works. If the app is good, it's good. If things sync, things sync. And if they don't sync properly, they don't sync properly.
Googles overarching approach to sync is to not sync. Push the changes immediately. When you add a bookmark to your Chrome browser, a teensy signal is immediately sent to Googles bookmark sync server pushing the change. When you finish typing a word in Google Docs, changes are saved. There is no sync, because there are not copies of files anywhere. There is only one file. There is only one email. There is only one contact. You'll never have to worry about whether your Android phone, tablet, or Macbook has the most recently edited version of your document, or which one has the most complete contact, or which calendar you added an event to. Because everything is always in sync. It just works.
You'd think it would get muddy if you scratched the surface and peeked underneath. If you do, you'll find that Android sync is actually asynchronous, and that if you use Google Docs' offline editing capabilities, you'll actually end up with some of the same sync challenges that Apple is facing: which version is the right version? Somehow I've never once had a problem with this, though. I don't know if it's because Google started with the web-apps and built native apps and offline sync at a later time, but I have no trust issues with Google getting my sync right. I know that if I visit google.com/contacts and edit a contact, my changes will propogate to all my devices seamlessly. I never have to worry about losing contacts, losing appointments, losing emails, getting corrupt data, or even backing up. While these words may smell like famous last words, I wouldn't even think of backing things up. I expect it to work, I trust that it will work, and has done so far.
Compared to the flaming hoops I had to jump through to get just calendars, contacts and Gmail to sync on my wifes iPhone, using an Android device is just a relief.

Fortunately thanks to lace weave closures achieving a more realistic and perfect blend will not result in your hair becoming too thin and break off. lace closure an oblong or circle shaped hair piece usually made of lace that is attached to a cornrow base and then secured around the perimeter to give the appearance of hair coming out your head.
Check out Icool hair Top 5 reasons why you should choose for a lace closure when rocking your next install:
1.Texture Isn't An Issue: Closure pieces come in every texture you could possible think from Silky Straight remy to Afro-Curly Mongolian. So let your hair down and experiment with different textures that you usually shy away from due to the difficulty of trying to create that perfect blend.
2.Versatile Parting: If you invest in a quality lace base closure be ready to fool the world into thinking your weave is nature. Lace base closures are designed with medium density and bleached knots to give off the appearance of a natural scalp. Also, allowing you the option to part anywhere on the closure, as well as pull your hair off your face while still creating the effect of a natural hairline.
3.Ideal Color: Ladies with the closure piece you no longer have to worry about damaging your real strands trying to color match your weave to your leave out. Although most lace closures come in natural black and natural brown, the closure itself still has the cuticle in tact, giving you the ability to chemically lighten or darken it to your desired color without causing any damage to your weave or real hair.
4.Low Maintenance: We can't think of anything else more low maintenance than being able to protect your strands while having absolute styling versatility. Besides the normal cleansing of your hair and scalp every 1-2 weeks, and everyday styling and maintaining, adorning a closure requires very little to no maintenance depending on how you install it. Simply wrap your hair like lokshari.com or wear a bonnet at night and you should be all set!
5.Perfect Protective Style: The sole fact that your hair is completely braided and protected underneath your weave and closure allows for optimum protective styling. Allowing your crown the break it needs from everyday wear and tear such as flat-ironing, product build-up, excessive styling, sun damage, etc. Like the rest of your temple, sometimes your hair just needs a break!

Students are trained to become decision-makers while focusing on the academic specialization that they choose in light of their professional goals. With the diversity of courses and specializations available, students can develop expertise in several areas of business administration, shape their career plans, all while preparing their entry into the business world through company internships.
In M2, students have access to a wide range of specializations, which then determine the Master's degree that the student will finally receive:

We LOVE Snow Days!!
the boys and their Nonna
Caleb kept pelting me with snowballs.
I just love how happy they look.
J.D. watched it all from the cozy foyer.
Well, now, you know you can't have a snow man without pool noodles. ; )
I finished off the snow man by adding the eyes and mouth. : )
You can imagine their joy when they announced school closings for today. Almost all the neighborhood kids were out, sliding down the hill in Betsy's front yard this morning. Joshua and Caleb spent two hours straight out there again this morning.
Now Joshua and his buddies are at Jacob's house. Caleb is right here beside me, playing iPad. Dan is in his room, not napping, in fact now he says he needs to go "whoo-whoo" (potty), so I'm off to help. Oh, the joys…

Minerva wonders if there is a conspiracy afoot to phase out doctors altogether. Readers of the Postgraduate Medical Journal (2001;77:337-9) are reminded this month about the chief nursing officer's 10 key roles for nurses in the NHS Plan. It seems that in future nurses will be required to order diagnostic tests, to make and receive referrals to particular specialists, to admit and discharge patients with specified conditions, and to run clinics. Minerva wonders if the PMJ will be renamed the PNJ in future.
We hear and read a lot about violence among children and teenagers in the United States but far less about bullying. When almost 16 000 children completed the World Health Organization's health behaviour in school aged children survey in 1998 a shocking 30% admitted that they been involved in moderate or frequent bullying (JAMA 2001;285:2094-100). A fifth described themselves as bullies, while 17% claimed they had been the victims of bullying. Not surprisingly, both perpetrating and experiencing bullying was associated with poor psychosocial adjustment.

Why is transit a partisan issue?
Christie, McDonnell ... many Republican governors are oppsing high-speed rail spending in their states ... What's going on? Is it that transit is a public sector industry? If that's the case, then why the hatred for bicycling? Or do conservatives simply oppose everything liberals advocate? Do libertarians just support sprawl because liberals hate it?

Project Management
Signs Manufacturing™ can be totally responsible for site surveying, permitting, manufacturing, installing, and maintaining your signs locally or nationwide.
Signs Manufacturing™, a Watson Family owned and managed corporation, has been building quality signs and shipping them worldwide since 1979.
Every member of the Family has a University business degree. We are schooled in the management of diverse projects, and have done so for many years.
Signs Manufacturing™ understands manufacturing and scheduling. We are regularly inspected by Underwriter's Laboratory and Intertek and approved for the manufacturing of UL or ETL listed signs – meeting the highest design, structural manufacturing, electrical, and installation standards in the world. Our staff includes engineers.
Our family's electrical, electronic, computer programming, and IT backgrounds often prove invaluable to our customers, particularly those with or desiring Electronic-Message-Centers. We can write/modify computer programs in many languages.
Because of the above, we manufacture signs for many customers who have us arrange installation in other areas, having remote sign companies install them under our direction and guidance (often many sign companies in multiple locations at the same time.) We maintain responsibility, and offer the conveniences of one-stop shopping and centralized billing.
We also manage sign service and maintenance requirements for regional and national companies. Again, we are responsible, and convenient. One phone call or email to us and we take care of the rest.
The largest Site Surveying task we performed was a survey of 28 sites containing over 5,000 varied signs. The detailed report virtually filled a CD.
(We install and maintain signs in Northeast Texas for other sign companies and their customers. This is how the sign industry works. We have a worldwide network of qualified associates we have worked with successfully over almost 30 years! There is no such thing as a "national" sign company with employees everywhere in America.)

book review
Keith Devlin is a well-known populariser of mathematics, author of many books and appearing regularly on American radio as "The Math Guy" In this latest offering he walks us through the astounding mathematical capabilities of both plants and animals, and on to the abstract abilities of humans.
"Tribute to a Mathemagician" is the third book in a series of publications based on the Gathering for Gardner meetings, a regular gathering of enthusiasts who share Martin Gardner's interests in mathematics, magic and puzzle creation. Martin Gardner, the father of recreational mathematics, has influenced readers all over the world with his "Mathematical Games" column in Scientific American, which ran for 25 years.
It's never easy for me to read a work of fiction based in and around a world I'm familiar with. Quite often I find that the author will make some small error of fact, perhaps about something very minor, which then stops me from enjoying the book as a whole because I begin to wonder what other facts, in areas that I know nothing about, are also incorrect.
This book is a curious mixture of biography, history and mathematics, all neatly packaged into an entertaining and enlightening read. In essence it is a biography of the brilliant and eccentric mathematician, John von Neumann, who began life, much like many of the other great mathematicians, by being able to do basic arithmatic before other children could speak and with an ability to calculate exceptionally well before he even went to school.
Measurement is a tricky business, and rarely leaves the thing measured unchanged, as Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states at the quantum level. But statistician David Hand has gone back to the foundations, examining measurement right across the various disciplines: psychology, medicine, physical sciences, economics, the social sciences and elsewhere. He must treat in a unified manner scales used to measure phenomena as different as pain, retail prices and magnetism.
This charming book is in its second edition (the first was published in 1994). It is about integers, with a short section for each number between 1 and 200, and a line for each between 201 and 999. There are "boxes" for interesting facts and definitions, such as "perfect number", and a few "large numbers" also make the cut, including 1729, the subject of a famous anecdote about Hardy and Ramanujan, and 101000, the googol.
It feels like we've always known that the universe began with a Big Bang, and like the Big Bang could never have been called anything else. But this is far from the truth, as Simon Singh explains in this overview of the state of human knowledge about the beginning of everything (or, as Calvin of "Calvin and Hobbes" preferred to call it, the Great Kablooie).
Most of us could not work without a computer, or have a good time without a CD player, and yet we know very little about the way computers work or the quantum mechanical principles behind lasers. These two subjects involve complex concepts and it is not easy to explain them in a brief book. Nevertheless, "A shortcut through time" manages to present a clear and enjoyable crash course on quantum computers, a science which lies at the intersection between quantum mechanics, computer science and mathematics.
Infinity is more than simply the biggest ever number, and even this simple description has caused problems for mathematicians throughout the ages. From the ancient Greeks to Newton, from Newton to present-day mathematicians such as Cristian Claude and Boris Pavlov of New Zealand, infinity has posed both practical and conceptual problems.
This book from Professor Sir Michael Marmot (knighted for his services to epidemiology and understanding health inequalities) is concerned with a very simple question: why do people of higher status have better health and live longer than those of lower status?

All eyes were on Fox's hit show 'Empire' last night. The season two premiere brought the ratings and star appearances. Peep Game
Via Hollywoodreporter:
The one-hour episode easily outperformed everything else on TV last night — and this week, if you exclude football — with an average 6.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 16 million viewers. Compared to previous episodes, that's only eclipsed by the March finale as the highest-rated ever. It's a much-needed dose of good news for Fox. The No. 4 network followed Sunday's all-time low Emmy ratings with a soft premiere for Minority Report and a disappointing start for Scream Queens.
Advertisers are betting big on Empire's new season. In The Hollywood Reporter's recent cover story on the drama, the asking price for a 30-second spot in the Sept. 23 premiere was revealed to be a staggering $750,000. And the rest of the season will see the same amount of time going for as much as $600,000. (That's in the range of peak American Idol.)

It's meant to be kept in the cupboard until December but I doubt very much that I will be able to last that long!!! It's the most beautiful colour. It took me ages to decide between the red and the green but I'm so pleased that I went for the red. V

These tasty Sticky Baked Chicken pieces had me thinking of homemade Chinese food and imagining how this sauce would taste on chicken wings. It was sweet and sticky and after attempting to eat the chicken with a knife and fork, I abandoned my efforts and went in with my fingers. Deee-licious!
I loved serving the mild tasting food (rice and broccoli) with this Sticky Chicken so that is would complement and not try compete with the sweet taste of the chicken. Getting the chicken ready was super easy, just mix the ingredients together in a pot on the stove top, arrange the chicken in the dish and pour the sauce over top. Try turn the chicken a few times while it's cooking so you get an even coating all over the chicken.
Don't be afraid to use up the yummy sauce to dress your rice. After I took these pictures, I went back and bathed my rice in the sauce. Was sooo good! I'm really happy I made extra as I ate the leftovers for lunches for a couple days after. I may have drove my lunch partners a little crazy with the delicious smell but I did end up sharing. 😉
Sticky Baked Chicken
- 3 lbs chicken pieces ,
- ½ cup soya sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- ½ tsp mustard powder
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- salt and pepper to taste
Pat your chicken dry with a paper fowl. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Combine the other ingredients on the stove top to create sauce.
Grease a baking dish and place seasoned chicken in the dish. Pour the sticky sauce over top of the chicken. Cover the dish with foil and bake in a 350 F oven for 1 hour or until chicken is cooked through. Try to turn the chicken a few times to get an even coating of the sauce on the chicken.
