Our Master of Science in Physician Assistant (MSPA) program takes 27 months to complete. The first 15 months of the program are dedicated to the didactic education, along with the participation in a clinical mentorship program. The last 12 months of the program involve students pursuing their clinical clerkship rotations, which offer the students clinical education experiences in primary care, surgery, and emergency medicine
Click here for the curriculum map and a list of course descriptions. Please be advised, while the PA Program at CMU requires specific courses as prerequisites for enrollment, and many applicants may have significant health care education and employment experience, the program does not award advanced placement in the program.
Central Michigan University's PA Program offers the benefit of a mentorship for all first-year students. Although the program shares the critical requirements and expectations of many MSPA programs, there are two key areas of emphasis which make this program relatively unique. Specifically, we educate students with a focus in providing and supporting primary and rural healthcare. This is achieved through the clinical problem solving coursework series with the clinical mentorship experience and the summer II semester procedures course incorporating the Society of Critical Care Medicine's Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) curriculum.
Starting in mid-January of the didactic year, each student undertakes a one-day-per-week mentorship for seven months, in which he or she shadows a local primary care practitioner and performs supervised hands-on patient care. The mentorship opportunity allows students to apply their knowledge and skills in a clinical environment, to further enhance their clinical practical skills and build their confidence before pursuing the second year of studies.
Our unique mentorship program allows students to:
Students spend the last 12 months of the program completing eight core clinical clerkships. Students are required to return to campus at the close of each rotation to complete their end-of-rotation summative evaluation which is a formal examination and case presentation or simulated patient encounters using standardized patients or high-fidelity simulators.
The core clinical clerkships are:
Emergency Medicine
An introduction to triage and stabilization of patients with life threatening conditions and procedures performed in the emergency department. Emphasis is placed on skills required to perform and document a problem oriented history and physical, formulation of a differential diagnosis, order and interpret tests necessary to confirm or rule out a primary diagnosis and provide patients with appropriate patient education. The student will also learn strategies for interacting with patients and/or families in various levels of stress.
A practice of the evaluation, documentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the wide range of problems common in primary care and family medicine. The student will develop proficiency in office procedures commonly performed in a family medicine office.
The development the skills necessary to evaluate and manage patients with a variety of surgical problems. The clerkship will provide students with the opportunity to develop an understanding of the role of the surgeon, anesthesiologist, assistant surgeon, circulating nurse, scrub nurse, scrub tech, recovery room, surgery floor nurses, aids, and techs in the care of the surgical patient.
The focus is on in-depth evaluation and ongoing treatment of patients with complex problems and/or chronic illness. Students learn the skills necessary to evaluate and manage the effects of chronic disease on multiple body systems and to perform or assist in procedures commonly done in internal medicine.
The elective rotation is designed to reinforce education in an area requiring additional training, enhance clinical education in a specialized area, or to further a student's education in an area of particular interest.

United States President Barack Obama appointed Denis R McDonough, one of his top foreign policy advisors and longtime trusted aide as his next Chief of Staff.
Denis R McDonough, who is a foreign policy advisor in the Obama administration and currently serves as Deputy National Security Advisor, would replace Jack Lew, who has been nominated by US President as his next Treasury Secretary.
"I have been counting on Denis for nearly a decade, since I first came to Washington when he helped set up my Senate office," Obama said Friday at the White House as he made a series of other personnel announcements.
"He's been one of my closest and most trusted advisers on my presidential campaign, on my transition team. He has been an indispensable member of my national security team as well.
"Denis has played a key role in every major national security decision in my presidency, ... in the war in Iraq to winding down the war in Afghanistan, from our response to natural disasters around the world like Haiti and the tsunami in Japan, to the repeal of Don't Ask-Don't Tell, to countless crises in between day and night," he said.
"Denis insists on knowing for himself the real-world impact of the decisions that we make, so away from the cameras, without a lot of fanfare, he's visited our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan repeatedly, hearing their concerns, finding out what they need, and then making sure to follow up.
"He travels to Walter Reed again, without fanfare, to spend time with our wounded warriors, getting to know them and what we, as a nation, can do to take care of them and their families," Obama said.

Subject: HBX October 2008 challenge FF: Sometimes
This story is in response to the October 2008 HBX challenge. It's set during their last night in Paraguay.
I wrote it in a half hour, I hope it's readable.
All mistakes are my own.
Honest feedback is appreciated.
I don't own JAG, but if I did I would put out Harm and Mac outfits for Halloween. Masks and everything.
By TR
Mac woke with a jolt. A jolt of what she wasn't sure, but a jolt just the same. She woke reaching for someone. Who exactly she wasn't sure, but reaching just the same. When her hand encountered warm sheets, her nose detected the stale thick air of the Paraguay heat, her senses returned and she remembered who she was reaching for. She could feel him in the room, that thump in her chest, that weight in her gut. A signature that had been distinctly his since the moment they'd touched hands in the rose garden an eternity ago. It took her a minute to locate him, when she did, she knew the waves of tension rolling off of him, had been the catalyst to her waking. She could always feel it when he was stressed or hurting. Many times she'd counted on that particular gift to let her know when things were going awry with him. Her form of protection for him, even when she wasn't near to draw her sword and ward off the demons in person. She sighed, it was good to know that even in that hell hole, some things hadn't changed. Their connections, such as it was, remained in tact.
She could barely make him out sitting in a chair, his form silhouetted against the blinds on the windows. He was slumped over, his face in his hands. Slowly she shook off the fatigue, and got to her feet. He didn't look up as she approached him. This fact alone was alarming. Softly she said his name, placing her hand on his back and rubbing lightly as she did so. He winced, and that one small reaction lanced through her breaking her heart just a little bit more. They would never be what she'd hoped for for so long. She was sure of it.
"Harm," she said again, even as she attempted to remove her hand from his back. He caught her wrist as it slid over his shoulder.
"No." His voice was like gravel. "No, keep touching me. I don't remember the last time you touched me."
She nearly gaped. After the way they'd left things she'd assumed he'd written her off for good. Clearly he hadn't. And clearly he was distraught. Whatever else he may be to her, or she hoped he'd be, he was still her best friend, and if he wanted her to touch him. Touch him she would.
"You okay?" She asked, in almost a whisper. She dropped to a squat at his side, still touching him, trying to catch a glimpse of his eyes. He had them closed, then covered them with his hands.
He didn't answer, just shook his head.
"Sometimes you piss me off Mac. And sometimes you make me worry. And sometimes you make me jealous. And sometimes you make me forget my own name." He raised his head. Looked at her with glassed over gray blue marble eyes, and the emotion housed within stole her breath away. "Sometimes I lash out because I too easily forget that I need you. Sometimes even after all these years, I'm still not used to the feeling of needing another human being. And sometimes that pisses me off!"
He stood up, but didn't pace away lest her hand fall from his back. He hesitated, sat again, scrubbed his hands over his face. "I don't want to be pissed anymore Mac. Or afraid. Or jealous. Or…" He reached over and touched her wherever he could reach, on her thigh, between her knee and hip. "I don't want to hurt anymore. I don't want to hurt YOU anymore Mac. Do you get that? I'm just…" he ran his had through his hair, pulled a little. "I just don't know what to do about you!"
"What do you want to do?"
He sighed and looked away. "I want to believe you, that you don't want Webb."
He stopped her as she tried to protest.
"I know what you said. But you're good hearted enough to try not to hurt me. You went through hell with him Mac. And I know you. I know when your protective spirit ignites you can bond very quickly with the person you're protecting."
"Are you trying to throw me into his arms Harm? Is that what you want?"
"Is that a place where you want to be?"
She looked him directly in the eye. "No."
"Where do you want to be Mac?"
"Sit back and I'll show you."
Slowly he sat up straight, when his arms dropped his side, she lowered herself into his lap. "This is where I want to be. But again, is that what you want?"
"Do I want to throw you into his arms? Not a chance. But something tells me he's not going to give up. What he wants is you, I could see it in his eyes."
"Webb knows where my heart lies Harm. And…" She hesitated, wary of pouring out her heart when she still didn't know his full intentions.
"And?" He prompted.
She sighed. "And if I love you, it doesn't matter what he wants."
It was Harm's turn to gape, moments before her pulled her in close and closed his eyes. "Sometimes you're all I know." He said against her hair. "And I'm sorry for everything I said that hurt you. I just felt so...separated from you. I can always feel your presence Mac, and you were just...gone. And I didn't know what to do. It scared me to death. And I tried not to need you, but that didn't work either. You were gone. And I just want to be where you are." He lifted her chin, kissed her mouth ever so gently. "Sometimes all I know is that I want to be where you are."
Touched beyond words, she wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him on the forehead. Holding him to her, she let him feel her close, reconnect. Until she heard him whisper against her cheek, "Sometimes I forget that I love you and it makes me a little crazy, but God help me, I do love you."
He could feel her smile against his cheek. "Sometimes," she said. "That's all I need."
He turned his head and took her in, mouth, body, and soul.
End of scene? Good? Bad? Arthropluera?

EPL Match Report and Analysis: Fulham 2, Manchester City 2December 3, 2016
Manchester City had plenty of chances in a first half which certainly saw efforts on goal, though the tempo of the game was slower than might have been expected.
City moved the ball around well with David Silva and Sergio Aguero causing all the problems you would expect from two such talented players, while Clint Dempsey looked like Fulham's biggest threat.
Mark Schwarzer was certainly the busier of the two goalkeepers, tipping over an effort from Silva and beating away a shot from Aguero.
"Kun" Aguero it was who opened the scoring for City midway through the first half, continuing with play and sliding home his shot into the far corner after the entire Fulham defence had stopped, thinking an offside would be called. Silva slid the pass into Aguero's path and he did the rest, netting his seventh goal of the season already.
A minute after half time the same man made it two-nil.
Edin Dzeko rose magnificently to steer a header down to Aguero on the edge of the box and he angled a right-footed drive inside the far post to beat Schwarzer again—incredibly netting his eighth goal in City's five league matches already.
This was just sixty seconds into the second period and it looked for all the world that City would go on to record another victory in some comfort, but they reckoned without the determination and finishing ability of the home side who were to stun them with a double set of strikes of their own.
Bobby Zamora smashed in a fine finish for Fulham after 55 minutes to bring them back within one goal.
Picking up the ball on the edge of the area from Dempsey, he took one touch and turned to lash into the top corner of Joe Hart's goal with his right foot, leaving the England stopper with no chance.
And it was left to Danny Murphy to seal an equaliser for the home side as he latched onto a pass from Zamora, steadied himself and placed it to Hart's left side—only for a huge deflection to send the ball completely the opposite way and squirm over the line for 2-2.
City threw on Carlos Tevez and Adam Johnson to try and swing the match back in their favour, but time ticked down and they were unable to really create any decent goalscoring chances.
Yaya Toure launched a shot goal-wards from 30 yards, which was in danger of taking the head off of a spectator but didn't trouble the Fulham goal, while Zabaleta also sliced well wide from distance.
Roberto Mancini cut a frustrated figure on the sideline as he watched his side surrender a two-goal lead in the second half and his words from last week, where he moaned about his side not being clinical enough, will be echoing in his players' ears after this draw against Fulham.
City rise top of the table—briefly, until Manchester United finish their game against Chelsea, where they comfortably lead at the break—with the point from today's game, but having been in such a commanding position they will see it as two points dropped.
Fulham meanwhile continue their winless start to the season under new boss Martin Jol, though with this point they will rise off the bottom and out of the relegation zone, and will take some heart and hope for future matches after coming back from a seemingly lost position.
A lot of work remains for both teams to achieve their respective aims for the season but City will at least be pleased that they remain unbeaten in the league, while acknowledging how difficult it will be for them playing away from home after each of their six group matches in the Champions League this season.
Sergio Aguero continues to hugely impress and will surely be one of their key men to achieve success on all fronts this season.
Full time from Craven Cottage—Fulham 2, Manchester City 2.

Dont forget that the Orcs were easily manipulated and used as puppets by the Legion where the Night Elves fought them off alone. The Orcs came to destroy Azeroth, not save it as you claim. And lastly, without Malfurion there would be no Azeroth for multiple reasons, one of the main ones being he defeated Xavius inside the Emerald Dream. Not a lot is known about that other than the Emerald Dream somehow keeps the fabric of existence in tact. Xavius was one of Sargeras's top commanders and infiltrated the emerald dream with his army. That is why the druids had to go into the emerald dream shortly after the war of the Ancients, to keep the existence of the world from being lost forever. Where were the mighty orcs then?

After decades of chugging cheap, watery lagers, America has been reborn in the church of beer. Even your corner bar has six craft offerings on tap, and your grocery store probably has an entire aisle devoted to independent, small-time brewers.
But while the big guys like Anheuser-Busch and Miller Brewing have had to make room for their craft cousins, there's still shockingly little diversity when it comes to popular brewing styles.
"Stouts and pale ales are omnipresent," says Matt Simpson, a.k.a. The Beer Sommelier. "You see bars with 20 craft beers on tap, and 19 are one or the other."
While Simpson says he loves stouts and IPAs, "there are a lot of great styles that were really loved by craft beer fans 10 or 15 years ago that have fallen off," he says.
Here are seven of them, and excellent exemplars of each.
Usually light in alcohol—4% to 5% ABV—and light in color, this style produces a wheat beer with a delightfully tart kick. "It's fermented with lactobacillus, which is the bacteria that sours milk," Simpson says. "It gives this style of beer a refreshing, bracing tartness." He says it's a brew you can drink all day long, and a good one to sample if you enjoy saison- or farmhouse-style beers.
One to try: Dogfish Head Festina Peche
"You almost never see this around, but if you like porters and stouts, it's similar and just fantastic," Simpson says. Baltic's have the base character of a big stout—some chocolate notes and maybe a little coffee. "Rich, slightly sweet, without much hopping," he says. "Also, very little bitterness and very drinkable." The best of both worlds between lagers and more complex ales, he says.
One to try: Smuttynose Baltic Porter
Medium-light in body, golden in color, and about 5% ABV, this style tends to produce smooth, clear, clean beers. "This is basically what American lagers were like in the 1800s, and what many want to be again now," Simpson says. He calls this a "great football season beer," and says you'll also see it referred to as "dortmunder." If you like traditional American lagers like Budweiser or Coors, this is similar "but with a ton more flavor and body."
One to try: Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold
As the name implies, this beer originated in the Flanders region of Belgium. "Very tart, but also very clean and bracing," Simpson says. "Medium bodied—about 7% ABV—this is a rich and fruity ale." He says it's a great beer to sip if you like cheese, and is a nice change of pace for guys who like Belgian fruit beers.
One to try: New Belgium La Folie
"You see barley wines all over the place these days, but not a lot of old ales, which are similar," Simpson says. This style falls right in between ales and barley wines. "Tops out around 8% to 9% A.B.V.," he says. "Slightly nutty with some caramel and molasses, some malt, and maybe some dry fruit character, depending on how it's aged."
One to try: North Coast Old Stock Ale
There are plenty of light Belgian beers on the market, and also huge "quadrupels and tripels," Simpson says. "Dubbels fall in between." On the darker side and somewhere between 6% and 8% ABV, these beers tend to be "effervescent, lightly fruity, and malty," he says. "Worth checking out if you like Belgian ales."
One to try: Chimay Red
"Boy, is this hard to find. But it's a wonderful style," Simpson says. Traditionally, brewers would freeze a double bock-style beer. Because water freezes faster than alcohol, the brewers could then "scoop away" some of the frozen surface water and end up with a very concentrated version of the style, Simpson says. "That's an eisbock." Typically in the 10% to 12% ABV range, this beer "doesn't pair well," he says. "Sip it by itself in a snifter." (Ironically, he says it gets better as it warms up.)
One to try: Kulmbacher Eisbock

An 18-year-old former Roxbury man was sentenced to 16 to 20 years in state prison yesterday after pleading guilty to charges that he repeatedly raped a Beacon Hill woman at gunpoint in November 2004.
Zaquan Martin, who was 16 at the time of the attack, was indicted as a youthful offender, meaning he could receive the same sentence as an adult if convicted. Otherwise, at most Martin could have been committed to the Department of Youth Services until his 18th birthday.
Martin pleaded guilty in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston to three counts of aggravated rape, two counts each of kidnapping, armed robbery, and assault with a dangerous weapon, and one count each of home invasion and gun possession.
Prosecutors have said Martin forced the woman into her Joy Street apartment. When the woman's roommate came home, he tied her up while ransacking the apartment, prosecutors have said.
The crime scared women in the neighborhood, who received whistles from police. Police arrested Martin after three days of investigation, saying they had found a gun and personal items belonging to the victim in his home.
Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said he is pleased with the guilty plea because Martin will face substantial time in prison and his victim will be spared the ordeal of testifying.
"It was a terrifying and horrible crime," Conley said in an interview yesterday. He called the victim a "very strong woman" who was "prepared to look Zaquan Martin in the eye and identify him as the perpetrator of this brutal crime."
Martin's attorney, Pierre Monette Jr., said the plea deal was the best option for Martin, who Monette said could have faced 25 years or more in prison if convicted at trial.
"Unfortunately, he made an extremely unwise decision when he was 16 years of age that now that he's an 18-year-old he has taken responsibility for," Monette said in a telephone interview.
(Correction: Because of an editing error, a story in yesterday's City & Region section about a guilty plea in a rape case misstated the court. It was Suffolk Juvenile Court in Boston.)

Odom Academy's farm is growing
Published 4:24 am, Wednesday, September 4, 2013
The Odom Organic Farm is doubling in size and soon goats will become part of the school's backdrop.
The expansion and additional livestock at Beaumont ISD's Odom Academy come courtesy of Prairie View A&M University, which has sponsored the agriculture program since its inception last year, said Lloyd Hebert, county extension agent for the university's Cooperative Extension Program.
Odom Organics produce stand closed for several weeks in July after city inspectors determined it had failed fire, electrical and health inspections. The stand was brought up to code before school started.
The program set aside about $6,000 this year for the farm to expand its garden five times its current size and add more livestock, said Horticulture Teacher Will Humber.
The garden fence will be torn down and replaced by the Burr Ridge Fence Co. The land size will increase to about the size of a football field and a barn will be constructed in the rear, Humber said.
Hebert doesn't know how many goats Odom will receive, but Humber said he also wants to build a shelter for them before they arrived.

Officials have confirmed that an animal killed in January in southwestern New Mexico by a federal employee was a female Mexican gray wolf.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made the announcement Wednesday, saying genetic tests confirmed it was a small, uncollared wolf.
In January, an employee with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services shot what officials described only as a "canine." The employee reported the shooting because the animal looked like a Mexican wolf after closer inspection.
Federal officials have been tightlipped about the case. They have not said what prompted the employee to shoot the animal.
The case has been submitted to the U.S. Attorney's Office for review.
The Fish and Wildlife Service says tests are still under way to help determine the wolf's pack association.

Danny B 2/6/2014 1:07:44 AMMy cork was in there very well. Took a few minutes of cursing, while SWMBO laughed.

joel5493 2/6/2014 1:13:17 AMI have mine in a Brooklyn Brewing stange. I think the less of it you look through (i.e. on the side of the glass as you're pouring), the pinker it looks. And yeah - super fluffy head, even had some bubbles on the bottom of the cork.
Gary Dzen, Boston.com 2/6/2014 1:14:20 AMFirst thing get from the smell is a pretty equal split between citrus and what I'm guessing is hibiscus flowers. Something floral.

Gary Dzen, Boston.com 2/6/2014 1:17:23 AMAm I crazy to smell something peppery here? Smells spicy.
joel5493 2/6/2014 1:17:35 AMThe label definitely doesn't lie, this guy is floral for sure. I'm not sure if that's a citrus twang in the aroma or just some sort of sharpness I can't put words to. Some sort of fancy soap?
Gary Dzen, Boston.com 2/6/2014 1:18:00 AMI get the same sharpness, Joel. I smell pepper, but maybe that's the flower.
by Gary Dzen via twitter 2/6/2014 1:19:11 AMAroma from @NightShiftBeer JoJo: Bright citrus evenly matched by hibiscus flower. I get something spicy, sharp, peppery.
Danny B 2/6/2014 1:19:20 AMThat sharpness in the smell is definitely from the hops. Cascade? Chinook? I have a dark IPA on tap I made with these two.
Gary Dzen, Boston.com 2/6/2014 1:20:46 AMHere's the hop bill: Amarillo, Chinook, Cascade. Dry hopped with Sorachi Ace, Cascade & Legacy.
Gary Dzen, Boston.com 2/6/2014 1:21:02 AMOK folks dig in. Drinking time.
joel5493 2/6/2014 1:21:03 AMAlmost as sharp as UMass (up 20 on LsSalle right now). We're talking hoops too, amiright?

The Earthquakes have not given up hopes of bringing Simon Dawkins back this season although the Tottenham striker was loaned Thursday to struggling Aston Villa.
A San Jose official said the Quakes will try to acquire Dawkins in the June transfer window. But for now, the winger will finish the English Premier League season with the Villas. The Birmingham club is 19th out of 20 EPL teams.
The Earthquakes have tried to acquire Dawkins but so far Tottenham's price has been too high for a permanent move to Major League Soccer. The player said last year that he didn't want another loan deal but also wanted to continue playing for the Quakes.
Dawkins, 25, had revived his career in San Jose the past two seasons scoring 14 goals in 53 appearances while mostly playing as a left-side midfielder. He had a major role in the Quakes' record-setting offense last year.
"The past two seasons with San Jose have really kick-started my career," Dawkins told the club's website. "I never lost my belief and everything I've been through has made me stronger mentally as a player and as a person.
"I worked for two years to get over my injury and regain my fitness and now I'm really motivated to make the most of this opportunity at Villa."

Re: re.search for worldwide palcic history
In reply to:
re.search for worldwide palcic history
Hi Linda, Paul and George:
Welcome to our "Palcic Page".
Donal and I have corresponded a few times by e-mail, so I was aware that he had some relatives in England (and a lot of other places). Thanks for your information.
As you have probably gathered, from reading the other postings, there is a strong possibility that the Palcic name originated in Europe, most likely in today's Croatia (assuming that there was only one origin). From what I have found, Croatia and Slovenia, with over 100 each, have the most directory listings of people with the Palcic surname. The United States comes in third with a little less than 100 (we are not as rare as you might have thought). I checked the phone directory for England, but I didn't find any Palcic listings there. I guess you somehow managed to evade at least the directory that I was working with.
I thought I had the United States pretty much figured out, with fifteen core (Palcic, Palcich, Palsic) family groups, and thirty one immigrants. But then the Ellis Island records became available (at www.ellisislandrecords.org), with 99 Palcic entries, so I guess it's now back to the drawing board for me.
The other Linda Palcic you were referring to is from Canada, and she also has Croatian roots, as you do. I haven't heard anything from her in quite some time, but I assume that she is still working on her family genealogy. There are a lot of Palcics in this world, so I would guess that there are also at least a couple more named Linda. I have a niece in the United States who was Linda Palcic until her name was changed when she married.
Hope to hear from you again.
Best regards,
Daniel Palcic

This basically means that the new camera will end up somewhat cheaper than the original, which currently sells for about €350 in Euroland. Mind you, the original camera launched at €500+, but it quickly dropped to €399 and for a brief moment it was available for €299.
We still don't know how Samsung plans to price the wifi only version, but it's safe to assume that it will end up north of €300. Still, this doesn't sound too cheap, as entry level dSLRs and micro-four-thirds systems sell for about the same money.

Fun-killing fireshow-flunking ZOMBIE COMET ISON only LOOKED alive
Space rock just 'furious fragments', say boffins
The images that appeared to capture the resurrection of Comet ISON have turned out to be nothing more than a few snaps of the space rock's ghost, as it has continued to fade from view.
After the comet seemingly came back from the dead after sputtering out just prior to perihelion*, astroboffins are now coming to the conclusion that it actually probably did die at the time – and that subsequent pics of the comet have merely captured some leftover dust.
In the most recent telegram from the International Astronomical Union, Matthew Knight of Lowell Observatory has reported the comet steadily fading after it re-emerged from perihelion, while Karl Battams of the Naval Research Laboratory says that the comet is not looking good in the Saturday images from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory's Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (SOHO/LASCO).
"There is no visible nucleus or central condensation; what remains is very diffuse, largely transparent to background stars, and fading; it appears that basically a cloud of dust remains from the nucleus," he writes.
The scientists conclude that the comet is likely to have started fragmenting nearly 12 hours before perihelion, when a sudden surge in brightness was seen, but some of the dust particles were able to survive after it broke up, leaving behind the ghost of ISON.
The comet was supposed to put on a spectacular show in the night sky early this month, but Spaceweather.com now reckons that even experienced astrophotographers could have trouble finding its remains.
"No one knows for sure what is inside that fan-shaped cloud. Possibilities include a small remnant nucleus or a "rubble pile" of furiously vaporising fragments," the site said.
"Experienced astrophotographers might be able to capture the comet's fading 'ghost' in the pre-dawn sky of early December, but a naked-eye spectacle is out of the question." ®

Welterweight contender Floyd Mayweather Jr. (41-0, 25 KOs) doesn't have a problem with giving Amir Khan (25-1, 17 KOs), the 140-pound champion, the homefield advantage by traveling to the UK to face the boxer at Wembley Arena - provided that Mayweather defeats IBF champion Zab Judah (41-6, 28 KOs) later night. Mayweather returns on September 17th to challenge WBC champion Victor Ortiz. As far as the fight between Khan and Judah, Mayweather says the boxer with the better chin will win.
"I would love to come to Wembley and fight. The British fans would love to see me fight Amir Khan and I'm pretty sure the Filipino fans would want to see me fight [Manny] Pacquiao. The American fans would love to see me fight anybody. [Khan vs. Judah] will all come down to who wants it more, who is the better fighter and who has the better chin. I fought Judah at 147 pounds. Both are explosive fighters. It's a good fight to watch," Mayweather told The Guardian.

What does percentage mean?
Definitions for percentagepərˈsɛn tɪdʒ
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word percentage.
Princeton's WordNet
percentage, percent, per centum, pct(noun)
a proportion in relation to a whole (which is usually the amount per hundred)
share, portion, part, percentage(noun)
assets belonging to or due to or contributed by an individual person or group
"he wanted his share in cash"
The amount, number or rate of something, regarded as part of a total of 100; a part of a whole.
A high percentage of secondary school leavers take a gap year.
A share of the profits.
She gets a percentage for every vacuum cleaner sold.
Benefit or advantage.
There was no percentage in staying at home.
Origin: From per centum, "for every hundred", + -age.
Webster Dictionary
a certain rate per cent; the allowance, duty, rate of interest, discount, or commission, on a hundred
Origin: [Per cent + -age, as in average. See Per, and Cent.]
In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%", or the abbreviation "pct." For example, 45% is equal to 45/100, or 0.45. A related system which expresses a number as a fraction of 1,000 uses the terms "per mil" and "millage". Percentages are used to express how large/small one quantity is, relative to another quantity. The first quantity usually represents a part of, or a change in, the second quantity, which should be greater than zero. For example, an increase of $ 0.15 on a price of $ 2.50 is an increase by a fraction of 0.15/2.50 = 0.06. Expressed as a percentage, this is therefore a 6% increase. The word 'percent' means 'out of 100' or 'per 100'. Although percentages are usually used to express numbers between zero and one, any ratio can be expressed as a percentage. For instance, 111% is 1.11 and −0.35% is −0.0035.

kero kero bonito, intro bonito
Konichiwa, dear readers! As I have returned from the glorious and strange land of Japan, I thought this month I'd review the fantastically Japanese Kero Kero Bonito's debut album. Imagine if BMO, Finn and Jake from Adventure Time decided to do a jam session, filled with whistling, beats and keyboards sung half in English, half in Japanese – the result is Kero Kero Bonito. Sick Beat samples Super Mario 64's beats and boops whilst name dropping Tomb Raider, whilst Cat vs Dog is sung entirely in Japanese punctuated with the occasional "meow!" for good measure. The album reminds me of Bjork in the 90's – pop gone weird in a good way. Kero Kero Bonito have managed to produce an album of bubblegum pop so sweet I'd recommend visiting your dentist immediately as all of your teeth have now rotten from the sugar rush.

OT: I need to vent..witout having my SO judged by people we know, new update
We agreed to purchase a pair of reading glasses and see how she did. I bought those yesterday and today was the first day that she used them with her school work. OMG was I shocked at her handwritting. It has been nearly illegible for a few months. She was writting so clear that I could read those words. I showed Daddy a Sample from Tuesday morning and the one from today. I asked what he thought and he shook his head yes!!!!! I am so excited for my LO. We are going to go back to the Opthamologists office on Monday to look at frames. No one else in the area carries them as small as we are going to need. My baby (not so much of a baby anymore) is the size of a toddler and most places don't have frames that small. My LO will be able to see so much better in just a few weeks. YEAH!!!
Thanks to everyone for all of your support and words of encouragement to help me get him on the same page.

McGrady scores 29 as Rockets beat Jazz 95-69 to stay alive
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, April 28, 2008
AP Sports Writer
Tracy McGrady scored 29 points, Luis Scola added 18 points and 12 rebounds, and the Houston Rockets staved off elimination Tuesday night by routing the Utah Jazz 95-69 in Game 5 of their first-round series.
Dikembe Mutombo grabbed 10 rebounds as the Rockets cut their series deficit to 3-2 and forced Game 6 in Utah on Friday night.
Now, the Jazz can end the series at home, where they went 37-4 during the regular season. But it's no guarantee _ Houston was the first team to beat Utah in Salt Lake City during the regular season and won Game 3 there last Thursday.
The Rockets did everything they hadn't done for most of the series. They shot well, hit their free throws and got valuable production off the bench.
Houston came into the game with the lowest scoring average of any playoff team (85.5) and was shooting only 39.9 percent from the field and 65.7 percent from the free throw line in the series. In Game 5, the Rockets shot 47 percent (37-of-79), went 15-of-19 from the line and outscored Utah's bench 26-9.
The Jazz, meanwhile, endured their worst offensive performance of the season, setting a season-low point total by eight. They shot 36.5 percent (27-of-74), went 2-for-9 from 3-point range and 13-for-23 from the free throw line. They also committed 18 turnovers and were outrebounded 46-38.
Carlos Boozer led Utah with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Deron Williams had 13 points and six assists.
Houston coach Rick Adelman had Shane Battier and four reserves on the floor to start the second quarter and the second unit took control of the game.
Backup point guard Bobby Jackson, who shot 1-for-10 in Game 4, swished a 3-pointer with 10:24 left in the first half to give Houston its largest lead of the series at 25-16. Jackson picked up a loose ball _ Utah's seventh turnover _ and hit two free throws a minute later.
Late in the half, Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko fought for an uncontested rebound and lost it out of bounds, a sign of how Utah's night was going.
Houston led 43-32 at the break without much help from McGrady, who scored 11. The Jazz mustered a season-low point total for a half after the Rockets' bench outscored their reserves 18-0.
McGrady hit a jumper 14 seconds into the third quarter, but then gave away two careless turnovers to help Utah cut the lead to seven. But McGrady drove for a layup and Scola converted a three-point play as Houston rebuilt a double-digit lead.
The Rockets used a 12-0 run to stretch their lead to 70-48. McGrady swished a jumper over Matt Harpring with eight seconds left in the third quarter to put Houston up 74-55. Harpring stepped out of bounds at the other end, a fitting end to another dismal quarter for Utah.
The Jazz couldn't make a serious threat in the final quarter as they continued to miss easy shots and bobble away turnovers. Sloan benched his starters with 3:42 left and Houston ahead 87-67.
Adelman took out his starters with 2:08 left. McGrady and Alston smacked hands with their teammates as they confidently walked to the bench.
Notes:@ The Rockets led at halftime for the first time in 12 playoff games against Utah over the past two seasons. … The Jazz had won their last three Game 5s when holding a 3-1 series lead. … Mutombo had at least 10 rebounds in a playoff game for the first time since 2005. … Boozer has double-doubles in four of the five games.

Biggleswade History Society Project Plan
Projects completed May 2006 to January 2014:
- Full transcription of the 1851 census for Biggleswade – Mike Strange
This is not being made available to the public; there is a look-up facility for members or those who
purchase one of our publications (one surname printed out per purchase)
- In-depth reorganisation of storage of photographs – Mike Strange
This is the structure of our photographic records.
- Detailed recording of photographic records – Indexing and scanning by Roy Chadwick and Penny Gilbert
- In-depth reorganisation and cataloguing of storage of artifacts – Tim Haddow and Mike Strange
- Transcription of 1915 Qualification of Electors and Jurors – Babs Elsworth
- Publication of "Townsfolk of Biggleswade" – Ken Page, Mike Strange, Eric Lund and Jennifer Lawrence
Volume 1 – 2007, Volume 2 – 2008 and Volume 3 – 2009.
- 2008 – Succeeded in getting the name entry on the Biggleswade War Memorial corrected for Private Victor John Milton who gave his life in WW1 Click to see the War Memorial Event
- Transcription of the Rose Lane School Registers – Babs Elsworth and Peter Horn – also see below ….
- Transcription of Spong's Directory & Almanac 1914 contains 1300 heads of household – Jean Strange
Follow the link down to Trade and Residents Directories on our Research page.
- Added an on-line listing of the interviews the Society has carried out with Biggleswade townsfolk and other Biggleswade Society audio recordings
- Provided an on-line surname list from the school admission registers – Mike Strange
- Summer 2010 two of our committee members undertook the logging and photographing, of burials of some important people within the grounds of the Biggleswade Cemetery Chapel using Council records to locate the plot numbers. This included a number of Commonwealth Commission Graves. This was to provide background information for the Heritage Open Day to take place in September.
- Biggleswade buildings. Photographs taken of houses and buildings in Biggleswade with builders plaques and other features. – Chris Johannesen. These are available on this web site here
- September 2011 We had concern as to the future of Biggleswade Common, knowing that in the past approaches had been made to extend rights to excavate for gravel. The common is known to be one of a few, in this country, left intact and undisturbed. Aerial photographs show evidence of settlements, which have yet to be fully investigated. Therefore, an application was submitted to English Heritage for listed status. This is currently in their hands.
Projects in the pipeline:
- In-depth reorganisation and cataloguing of storage of ephemera, maps and books – Sandra Ransom
- The Biggleswade History Society's First World War Project – The main focus of the project, begun in July 2013, is to build for Biggleswade an archive of the town's First World War soldiers, those who died and those who survived the conflict. What better way to remember and honour them? This is an ambitious undertaking which the Society aims to tackle in stages over a five year period, ending in November 2018, the centenary of the end of the First World War. Click for a detailed description and illustrated description.
Ideas for the future:
The History Society would like to undertake a number of projects in the future; there are two main limitations:insufficient willing and skilled volunteers and funding. Given that these could be overcome by members with sufficient enthusiasm, knowledge and skill and with aid from grants we would like to:
- Produce a Biggleswade Heritage Trail booklet to support and expand on a leaflet. Ken Page has supplied the outline content for these and detail from the heritage plaques; this can be seen here.
- Produce Volume 2 of the "Heritage Trail" book. Volume 1 includes the High Street and Market Square; our next objective would be Shortmead Street. It was said that you could be born and buried in this street and want for nothing else; sadly no longer a true state of affairs but it does have a number of buildings and sites of interest and these are portrayed in our Research section under Roads.
Ideas Shelved due to Lack of Resources or Interest:
- Reinstate the "Beating the Bounds" ceremonial walk around the parish boundary as an annual event in Rogation Week, between the fifth Sunday after Easter and Ascension Day.
- Have a town museum.

CHRISTINA - posted on 09/06/2009 ( 30 moms have responded )
We moved from West Virginia to Oklahoma for my husband to get a better job because the economy wasn't doing so well and we were having trouble surviving. Once we got to Oklahoma we moved in with my parents and my hubby got a truck driving job that was suppose to be regional and he was suppose to be out for 7 days home for like a day and a half. Well that isn't the case. He usually out for about 3 wks if we are lucky and then i might get to see him for a day and a half if I'm lucky. We have a 7 year old boy and a 3 year old little girl. and they both wanna see daddy when daddy comes in but there never seems to be enough time when hes home. i feel like someone is being left out and i think its usually me. i don't mean to sound selfish but it really hard on the marriage not to get to send TIME with each other. and for course when its time for my hubby to leave again he gets real grouchy. i didn't know that being a trucker wife was going to be so hard. i feel like I'm alone in the world. left to do everything myself, i know all I'm doing is complain but I'm hoping being able to talk to someone that understands might help.

Devis Mangia insists he has "an excellent rapport" with Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini, but feels the pressure ahead of Parma tonight.
The patron warned they have to "resolve the travel taboo" that has seen the Sicilians fail to score a single goal away from home this season.
"We are a young side who have faced some very tough teams so far, including Lazio, Milan, Udinese, Roma and Juventus," argued Mangia.
"We have the worst away record in Europe? I don't think about such things. Don't forget we are the same team who have earned 18 points from an available 18 on home turf.
"I have an excellent rapport with President Zamparini. We speak often and, whether you believe it or not, he always pushes me to make my own decisions.
"Football is a business now, so he is the boss and I am an employee. Therefore he can comment on how I perform, while I just have to stick to my work."
There are further problems as they travel to the Tardini, because Fabrizio Miccoli and Abel Hernandez are out injured.
"I won't complain. I have a squad that is eager to work and we'll change our system, but in my view the starting XI are always the best in the world."

Shah Jahan demanded formality in his imperial portraits, but he encouraged innovation in other pictorial genres. His master artist Payag created this intimate landscape of convincing depth by omitting the sky and focusing on the forest's shadows and textures. Further demonstrating his skill, Payag ambitiously foreshortened the body of the wounded nilgae (blue antelope) and captured the sly posture of a hunter camouflaged behind young bulls.
Hunting with a matchlock rifle is Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Shah Jahan and heir apparent to the Mughal throne. After Shah Jahan fell ill in 1657, Dara Shikoh and his younger brothers (including Shah Shuja) engaged in a bitter battle for succession. His brother Aurangzeb emerged triumphant as the next Mughal emperor.

Peripheral vascular disease
Peripheral vascular disease refers to a cluster of conditions in which atherosclerosis, or narrowing of blood vessels, occurs in the peripheral circulation, particularly in the legs. Peripheral vascular disease, unlike myocardial infarction, has a relatively low risk of death but causes substantial disability as affected limbs are at higher risk of amputation and infection.
The link between peripheral vascular disease and tobacco use was described in the early 1900s by Buerger after whom one form of vascular disease, rarely seen among non-smokers, is named.
Tobacco use acts to increase risks and severity of peripheral vascular disease in two ways: first, by accelerating atherosclerosis so vessels narrow and blood flow diminishes, and second, by increasing risks of diabetes, which itself damages vessels by accelerating atherosclerosis.

The Storm that he Does Not Calm – He will Protects You From.
When circumstances are beyond our control, what we really believe will surface. The depth of our faith in God's character and promises will become evident, as will any doubts or uncertainties we may have
At times, God does allow the pressures of life to build so that we can learn how to deal with them from a position of Faith and Not Fear.
When the storms come and life gets hard, we tend to get upset and wonder how soon the difficulty will end. But God wants us to focus on Him in times of Trouble (Storms). As we do, we will discover that He is doing important spiritual work that we cannot see during the "storm."
Philippians 4:6-7 (NASB) is a promise you can claim: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your heart and your minds in Christ Jesus."

WASHINGTON - Lawyers in the C.I.A. leak case said Thursday that they expected I. Lewis Libby Jr., Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, to be indicted on Friday, charged with making false statements to the grand jury.
Karl Rove (seen at right, watching his rear), President Bush's senior adviser and deputy chief of staff, will not be charged on Friday, but will remain under investigation, people briefed officially about the case said. As a result, they said, the special counsel in the case, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, was likely to extend the term of the federal grand jury beyond its scheduled expiration on Friday.

std for bradford assay - (Feb/11/2009 )
How u usualy prepare std for the bradford assay when your lysis buffer is RIPA?
I don't know but my std curve with ripa abd BSA is funny/
Hi Sara,
Sure, Bradford very sensitive to any detergents presence. If you sample prepared in buffer with a detergent (like RIPA) you should use other methods to determine total protein concentration. I would recommend BCA assay (like one from Pierce # 23225)
Good luck,
The detergent is throwing everything way off. I always dilute the bradford reagent with water and then just add 1ul of the protein sample to 1mL of the reagent. My standard curve with BSA is always gorgeous and I seem to get accurate quantification of the samples. If you really want to be accurate, you can do one sample of bradford with 1ul of Ripa alone. This is the "background" absorbency the buffer and detergent is contributing to the protein sample readings and you subtract this from the sample readings. However, the buffer is being diluted 1:1000 so it really is minor.
Thaknks Guys,
I will try the less amount of lysis buffer and let you know what will happen.
rkay447 on Feb 12 2009, 10:43 AM said:
rkay447's results notwithstanding, using bsa for the standard with the bradford method gives erroneous results with many (if not most) proteins. it has been found that bgg (bovine gamma globulin) is a better standard to use for many proteins when using the bradford protein assay.
we found that to be the case for all of the proteins that we routinely isolate (we checked the results with several different methods using both bsa and bgg as standard). you may want to confirm this for your protein of interest, as well.
of course, the best standard to use for any protein assay is the purified protein with which you are working.
I have heard this myself and never paid much attention to it. I was told that BSA binds up approximately twice as much bradford reagent than the average protein so your calculated sample concentration from a BSA standard curve is much lower than reality. I've always meant to do the standard curve with IgG and compare to BSA standard done at the same time. Just seems like I'm in too much of a hurry and just want to know the sample. Also, I usually do bradfords with a curve when trying to get relative concentration amoung many unknown samples and always get great results. If I just need a rough idea of the concentration of a single sample I just take the od595 of the one sample and calculate according to a curve I've previously done. Not the most accurate by any stretch of the imagination but it gets me close enough to set up IPs. I have a labmate who just multiplies the od595 by 15 and surprizingly it gets pretty close to the concentrations I get when I do a full out bradford with curve.
if it works for you then, by all means, continue (not that you need my permission).
we required more accuracy (we were developing new purification methods and needed to give accurate recovery data, plus we're a bit anal).

Tessy Lou comes forward as a closet romantic
Published 11:10 am, Wednesday, February 11, 2015
Tessy Lou Williams calls herself a casual girl when it comes to the topic of Valentine's Day. Flowers? Chocolate? There's no preference.
"Either can be fine," she said with indifference.
Williams, of Tessy Lou and the Shotgun Stars, though has a different notion about performing on this particular Valentine's Day because she'll be doing so for the first time at the third annual Valentine's in Valentine bash.
"I didn't make it out there last year, but a couple of my band players did," she said. "I'm very excited to play this time around."
Tessy Lou and the Shotgun Stars join Crooks, Mike and the Moonpies and headliner Joe Ely at the annual event hosted by Big Bend Brewing Co.
Williams hails from Montana but moved to Austin to pursue her music career. Coincidentally, her parents were also in a band back home, but Williams wasn't ready to stay in Montana.
Leaving Montana was an emotional leap for Williams — so much so that it is the name of her first album. But she explained that the move was necessary for her music.
"It affected my perspective so much and my mind's expansion was pretty vast," she said. "My eyes opened up in a lot of ways and even pushed my creativity. You can't really do that in Montana. You'll always be a Montana band. That's not the thing in Austin."
While she's in the hullabaloo of Austin's music scene, she finds a distinct pleasure in playing West Texas. Having performed in Monahans an Fort Davis and now Valentine, she's witnessing a shift in the perception of West Texas as a viable stop for musicians.
"In some ways it does remind me of Montana because it doesn't have as many people, but there are some great venues there," she said. "West Texas is becoming a destination and has a pretty artsy thing going for it. A lot of people I know feel that way and I love coming out there. It's a great change of pace."
For her first time playing the event, Williams has only one piece of advice for the audience.
"They all better bring their dancing boots," she said.
But does that mean she won't perform any love songs for the Valentine festivities? Not necessarily. Williams may not get swept up in the heartfelt holiday, but she is a romantic.
"Well, I can be one. I guess I'm a closet romantic," she said. "In my mind, I'm not forwardly romantic but my music is more so because that's my outlet."
As far as candy versus flowers, she said, "it's nice to receive either, but I'm likely not going to say 'no' to chocolate," she said.
