text: //[[Documentation]] *LMNtal Java System Overview The LMNtal compiler (''lmnc'') first compiles LMNtal source files into intermediate code. The intermediate code is then translated into Java programs, which is in turn compiled into Java bytecode and packaged into a .jar (Java archive) file. The created .jar file can be executed using the ''lmnr'' command. Alternatively, you can use the ''lmntal'' command to compile LMNtal programs into intermediate code and execute it interpretively (rather than translating them into Java). When invoked without a source filename, both ''lmnc'' and ''lmntal'' will enter the read-eval-print loop (REPL) mode in which expressions are executed interpretively. The system comes with a library API. In addition, you can define your own libraries to be used with your programs. See '''How to create libraries''' (below) for details about libraries. LMNtal programs transtaled into Java bytecode run an order of magnitude faster than the interpreted intermediate code. *How to Use // ('''Note to Cygwin users''': When you run LMNtal (version 0.80 or earlier) on // Cygwin, please use ''lmnc_cyg'', ''lmnr_cyg'', and ''lmntal_cyg'' // instead of ''lmnc'', ''lmnr'', and ''lmntal''. The ''_cyg'' suffix is not // // necessary for version 0.81 and up.) **Using shellscripts (Windows, Cygwin and UNIX/Linux) On Windows, Cygwin and UNIX/Linux, shellscripts in the ''bin'' directory facilitate compilation and execution. We suggest you add the path of the ''bin'' directory to the PATH environment variable of the underlying operating system so that ''lmntal'', ''lmnc'' and ''lmnr'' commands are searched and found automatically. Otherwise you must explicitly specify the path of these commands. ***Preparing libraries (Skip this step unless you have your own library) Prepare compiled libraries (how to make lirary .jar files will be explained below) and put them in the ''lib'' directory. ***Compilation $ lmnc foo.lmn Compiler options can be specified either before or after the filename. $ lmnc -O2 foo.lmn $ lmnc foo.lmn -d The following commands execute the intermediate code intermediately rather than creating a .jar file. $ lmntal foo.lmn $ lmnc foo.lmn --interpret ***Execution of the .jar file $ lmnr foo.jar Runtime options must be specified '''after''' the .jar filename. (ok) $ lmnr foo.jar -g (no) $ lmnr -t foo.jar ***Interactive execution (Read-Eval-Print loop) $ lmntal The system enters the interactive when a filename is not specified in the command line. Enter an LMNtal expression (that can spread over multiple lines) and hit the return key twice to execute it. you can also tell the system to start execution with one newline by giving the ''--immediate'' option. The following list shows some interactive-mode commands: :q - quit :h - see help :trace | :notrace - set trace mode :verbose [0-9] - set verbosity level :shuffle [0-3] - set shuffle level Here is an example of an interactive mode session: % lmntal [PRESS ENTER] LMNtal version 0.83.20061129 Type :h to see help. Type :q to quit. Enter an empty line to run the input. # A=f(f(f(f(f(A))))), c,c, ( c, X=f(Y) :- X=g(Y) ) [PRESS ENTER] [PRESS ENTER] f(g(g(f(f(_4)))),_4), @601 # A=f(f(f(f(f(A))))), c,c, ( c, X=f(Y) :- X=g(Y) ) [PRESS ENTER] [PRESS ENTER] g(f(f(f(g(_24)))),_24), @604 # :q [PRESS ENTER] % **Doing manually (Windows 9x etc.) ***Compilation ++When standard or user-defined libraries are used, add their .jar files into the classpath. ++Compile the source file: $ java runtime.FrontEnd foo.lmn ++foo.jar will be created. ***Execution ++Add foo.jar into the classpath. ++When standard or user-defined libraries are used, add their .jar files into the classpath. ++Invoke the Main class (in foo.jar) as: java Main *Command-line options There are many options for compilation and execution. Popular options include: -t - trace mode -v[0-9] - set verbosity level ( -v = -v5 ) -s[0-3] - set shuffle level ( -s = -s3 ) -g - graphical (visualizer) mode To see the list of all available options, do: lmntal --help A Verbosity Level expresses how verbosely an LMNtal process is displayed. 0: silence 1: default 2: expand link names 3: shows the contents of rulesets just compiled 4: expand operators 5: expand atoms 6: expand rulesets A shuffle Level expresses how randomly the execution goes on. 0: (default) use an atom stack for each membrane (atoms are selected in a LIFO manner) 1: atoms are selected in a system-defined order (which is not random or LIFO) 2: select atoms and membranes randomly from a membrane 3: select atoms, membranes and rules randomly from a membrane The graphical Mode (experimental) visualizes program execution. A graphical window will be displayed that visualizes the evolution of hierarchical graph structure. Computation proceeds step by step by pressing the space bar or clicking on the 'Go ahead' button. Atoms can be dragged to arbitrary positions so that the graph may look better. To terminate the execution, close the window manually. *How to create libraries A library is a program that is prepared (compiled) separately and added to the classpath. A library can be used also with a program running under the --interpret option. By using shellscripts in the ''bin'' directory, you can invoke LMNtal after adding all .jar files located in the ''lib'' directory to the classpath. You can also use the source code of the library by giving the ''--use-source-library'' option, in which case the .lmn files in the ''lib/src'' directory will be read and compiled on demand. To create your own program library, compile the program with the ''--library'' option: lmnc --library libhoge.lmn java runtime.FrontEnd --library libhoge.lmn (Windows 9x) Then, move the .jar file to the ''$LMNTAL_HOME/lib'' directory. *Classes built by the translator -General rules --One Java class will be created for each ruleset (= a set of rules located in the same 'place' of the membrane structure in the source program). --The class name will be ''Ruleset''('''rule_set_ID''')'. --When the compiled program contains a module definition, a class ''Module_''('''module_name''')' will be created in the ''translated'' package. ---The class has a static method ''getRulesets()'' that returns a list of rulesets contained in that module. -For non-libraries: --The ruleset classes belong to the package ''translated''. --The class ''Main'' will be generated in the default package. -For libraries: --The ruleset classes belong to the package ''translated.module_''('''library_name'''). *System rulesets -A '''system ruleset''' is a set of global rules, namely rules applicable to every place in the membrane structure. For instance, built-in arithmetics (that evaluates x=1+2*3 to x=7, for example) is implemented as system rulesets. -A programmer can define his/her own system ruleset by defining the ''system_ruleset'' module. //-There are three kinds of system rulesets: // ++Built-in system rulesets that cannot be modified by users // ---Proxies for trans-membrane links fall into this category. //---Currently, they are processed in InterpretedRuleset //even when the translator is used. //++Built-in system rulesets that are described in LMNtal and //can be modified //---Arithmetics falls in this category, but the current implementation //handles arithetics much like i. //++LMNtal ?v???O??????????W???[???????????????isystem_ruleset?j //i. ? ii. ??ATranslator ?????R???p?C????? runtiem.GlobalSystemRuleset //?N???X????B //??? iii. ??Aruntime.SystemRulesets ?N???X?????????B *Bugs -A large LMNtal program may create a Java class definition that is too large to be compiled by your Java compiler. -The ''aggregate'' construct have not yet been implemented. However, you can use the standard library module ''nlmem'' to copy or kill cells with an indefinite number of free links. -Shuffle levels 0-2 can be specified as a runtime option, while shuffle level 3 must be specified also at compile time.

If you don't want the coffee table to be the focus of the room, choose one with a glass top and a finish that blends with others in the room, as in this example. This will keep the eye interested in all the items in the room, not just one layer of the design. Metal bases with glass tops are another good choice to keep rooms feeling open. They're also great when you have a special rug and don't want to block views of it. Keep your glass cleaner handy, though, as there is no way around fingerprints. Keep in mind that with most glass tops — if they are not inset — you'll see a green tint on the sides. You can order a speciality glass that doesn't have this tint, but it's more expensive.
First think about what you need your coffee table to do for you, or what your room is missing, then pick a table that provides the solution. Before buying a table, mark the footprint with painter's tape so you can see the scale of the piece in the room and how that affects the surrounding furniture. If you have a very large room and a large coffee table, you can break up the scale of the table by flanking it with pairs of ottomans or benches, as in this example. When there's a party, they can be moved out of the way for better circulation, but for everyday use these extra seats help connect the sofa at one end and the pair of chairs at the other end. Be sure to use a pair of ottomans — not just a single one.
Coffee tables are frequently the central focus of a living area and therefore have a tremendous impact on a rooms decor and ambiance. A wise choice can create a feeling of style and harmony whilst a poor choice can make a room look disordered and can overwhelm the other furniture, making the room look smaller and feel less unified. The choices that you make regarding the size, shape, cost, material and style of the coffee table are thus vitally important to making your living room a welcoming space and setting the tone that you desire for your home.
Before beginning your search for the perfect coffee table you should therefore work out what it is that you want from it. Do you want it to be purely ornamental- to create a modern and stylish statement, or are you more interested in its functions- do you plan to eat from it, place drinks on it, store magazines in it or use it as a display cabinet? You also need to consider the cost of any piece that you plan to purchase. It is often a good idea to set a maximum budget before you begin your search. This should prevent you from even considering purchases that you may later regret. Coffee tables can be bought as cheaply as twenty dollars, however they can also cost in the thousands. It is a good idea to have an idea of your budget so that you do not fall in love with a table that is far out of your reach.

Using surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization technology, we identified and purified two novel metal binding protein biomarkers (among others) of 11.7 and 13.3 kDa respectively, whose content was elevated in the cerebral spinal fluid of early Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia cases, in comparison to cognitively normal controls. Further analysis indicated that the levels of both these proteins correlated with the levels of ß-amyloid (Aß) content and the extent of AD dementia assessed by Mini-Mental State Exam in the same patients. Additionally, we found that these changes were mitigated by treatment with anti-inflammatory drug treatment. Following purification and protein sequence analysis using a combination of mass spectrometry and protein database search, we found that the two biomarkers corresponded to known proteins involved in immune inflammatory responses, namely cystatin C and psoriasin.
Cystatin C is known to be a key component in the regulation of humoral and cell mediated immunity in the periphery, and has recently been found to possess similar functions in astroglia and dendritic cells. Psoriasin is a novel CD4+T lymphocyte chemotactic protein involved in the inflammatory skin disorder psoriasis. Recent studies have indicated a genetic association of a cystatin C gene polymorphism with late-onset AD. Cystatin has also been reported to exhibit altered expression (in the CSF) in AD, as well as other amyloid and non-amyloid based neuroinflammatory disorders. Currently there is no published evidence linking psoriasin to neuroinflammatory disorders. However, it is believed that psoriasin serves as an immune responsive protein in psoriasis and other inflammatory skin disorders (in atopic dermatitis, mycosis fungoides, Darier's disease, and lichen sclerosus et atrophicus).
The primary goal of this application is to continue exploring the relationship between these two immuno-inflammatory biomarkers with AD dementia, specifically their temporal pattern of expression in the presence and absence of anti-inflammatory drug treatment, and their involvement in Aß peptide generation. We will test the hypothesis that immuno-inflammatory events related to cystatin C and psoriasin may be involved in the onset and progression of AD dementia. The proposed studies will provide novel information on diagnosis, treatment, and possibly prevention of early AD dementia

Dear To Her Credit,
Continue Reading Below
I am an authorized user on my husband's credit card. We are separating. I am willing to assume half the debt on the card and move it off his card and onto mine. But, if he doesn't pay his portion, can they come after me for his portion?
The other way I can do it is to leave the balance on the card and make payments to that card to pay off my balance. I could keep track of the payments as proof that I was paying off my portion. But again, I don't want them to come after me if he spends the money I put down as payments and the entire balance is still due.
Any guidance would be appreciated. He had the card before we got married and added me. But since the debt was acquired during our marriage, I wonder if I'm accountable since we were married. We live in Idaho.
- Mandy
Dear Mandy,
You are correct, unfortunately. The Idaho office of the Attorney General states that, "In Idaho, a community property state, both spouses may be responsible for any debts incurred while they are married. Even individual debts may appear on each spouse's credit report."
Your liability is not the result of being an authoirzed user, as authorized users typically are not held responsible for any balances on the shared card. However, you may be jointly liable for this debt because you lived in a community property state when the debts were incurred.
As a result of this joint responsibility, if one spouse doesn't pay, the other one must, or risk credit damage and collection actions. The credit card company doesn't see it as his share and your share. They see one debt, and if they can't collect from him, they'll try to get the entire balance from you.
You are also right to be concerned about your soon-to-be-ex paying his share of the credit card bill. Past financial habits are hard to break, and you know his habits well. If you're worried that he'll not only let you make the payments, but spend more on the accounts, you're probably right.
The first thing to do is to notify the credit card company about the divorce and ask them to freeze the account. You can do that by calling or writing to the credit card company. If they won't freeze the account because you are just an authorized user, ask your husband to freeze the account, or seek legal help. Freezing the account stops him from adding to the problem. Do that today.
Next, look to the divorce court for help with the debt. The divorce court can't change your obligations to the credit card company. However, it can divide up your community assets and decide who should pay each debt. If the court says, for example, that your ex should pay half of the credit card debt, and he doesn't pay, he can be in trouble with the court.
If possible, you should try to have all community debts paid for as part of the divorce settlement. You and your husband may be able to each apply for individual cards and transfer your share of the balances to them. Better yet, maybe you have community property, such as a motorcycle, boat or investments, that you can sell to pay off all your joint debts.
You'll need good legal help as you go through a divorce. You have a lot at stake, and the rules can be complex. When you're starting a new life on your own, the last thing you need is to be tied to old debts with your ex. Find a way to ditch the joint debt so you can move on.

Book Trade Show Representation
If you are wary of the cost for a booth at the world's biggest book fairs, not to mention the travel cost, consider to have your book displayed there. Check out ForeWord who is one of the companies who offer this service.
They write:
By exhibiting in the ForeWord cooperative booth, your titles may potentially generate rights interest from foreign publishers (typically, a foreign rights deal includes a non-refundable advance and a royalty rate of 7 – 8%.) So, with no out-of-pocket expense – except for the $175 exhibit fee to have your title displayed at the ForeWord booth – you have a chance to earn an unexpected windfall – in the best scenario.
Among other International Book Fairs ForeWord exhibits at:
London International Book Fair April 16-18, 2012
BookExpo America June 5-7, 2012
both are $175 per title or $600 shelf (5 books)
However the best option and the world leader in book contract sales is the
Frankfurt Book Fair October 10-14, 2012
To accurately describe the Frankfurt Book Fair, one word cannot be avoided: "overwhelming." The numbers alone are daunting: nine show halls, more than 6700 exhibitors, publishers from over 100 countries, and a stunning 150,000 !!! attendees. Luckily, with excellent train / metro services, ample hotel space, and German efficiency, Frankfurt's just the place to pull off such an event. Historically, ForeWord's booth is across from Random House assuring fantastic traffic. Worldwide Audience.
$175 per title – $600 shelf (5 books)
Representatives from ForeWord direct visiting agents and reps to the appropriate shelves (books are arranged by genre), pass out literature, and collect business cards and contact information when interest in a certain title is expressed. ForeWord will then pass on the contact info to the corresponding publisher.
It is a chance for small publishers to sell foreign rights. In the worst scenario you loose $175.

If you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride.
That's the message Boulder B-cycle and Sir Richard's Condoms want to deliver to Boulderites using the city's bike-share system.
B-cycle partnered with the local condom company to put sponsored safety messages on its 150-bicycle fleet. Below a slogan from Sir Richard's there will be reminders to obey traffic signs, use hand signals, stay off sidewalks and pedestrian malls, and, of course, wear a helmet.
"It's not necessarily our job to get safety messages out there, but we feel we have a responsibility," B-cycle Executive Director James Waddell said Monday. "We wanted to do it in a fun way where people are probably more receptive to it.
"We're in Boulder, so we want to be innovative and fun."
Waddell said the messages already have been attached to about half of the city's bikes. With only one person to do the job at 22 stations, it's taking some time. There will be more in early 2014, when B-cycle plans to expand to 39 stations and 250 bicycles.
"We're excited to be partnering with another great local Boulder company," Lindsey Delp, director of brand and digital development for Sir Richard's, said in a news release. "Sponsoring the B-cycle safety message with the Sir Richard's safety message is a natural fit."
Kevin Bell, B-Cycle's marketing and communications manager, said this kind of sponsored safety messaging for a bike-share program is the first of its kind.
The partnership came to be when Waddell was reading a newspaper article about Sir Richard's and decided to reach out.
"I saw that they were expanding, which I thought was a nice play on words," Waddell said. "I looked at it and I thought, 'We're trying to find somebody to sponsor our safety message,' and thought that'd be a good connection."
He also said that although there are some "pretty strict" signage rules that limited some of the campaign ideas, there's no concern about the "moral police." He doesn't feel that the condom ads are too in-your-face, though they do show wrapped condoms and where to get them.
The other slogans from Sir Richard's include "Think global, love local," "Wear a helmet and a condom, but not at the same time" and "Try one on, just not in the store."
B-Cycle officials expect to have the safety messages on every bicycle within a few weeks.

Hi Bill.
It was nice talking to you yesterday. I am trying to look for a tennis court betwen your place and my work place and I came across this website called Global Tennis Network. I typed in the zip code where I am at and one of the zip codes in Corona too, I found several listings but I am not familiar with most of it, maybe you can check out the website and let me know which one will be alright. I also found the Promenade Park, it looks nice from the google pictures. Also, the tennis court near me is called Reid Park and not Reed Park, my apologies to that. Reid Park is also on the website. Please let me know which is the best from the list between our area if you have a chance and I will also keep searching. I hope to play with you soon sometime next week.
Thank you.
Thank you Bill for the reply.
I will try to call you and set up some playing time.

Billy Beane
Oakland A's General Manager and subject of the bestselling book, Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game - currently a major motion picture.
Considered one of the most progressive and talented baseball executives in the game today, Billy Beane has molded the Oakland Athletics into a perennial postseason contender since assuming the general manager's duties shortly following the 1997 season. He shattered antiquated MLB beliefs that big payrolls equated wins by implementing unorthodox (by MLB standards) strategic methodology that inevitably led one of the worst teams in the AL with one of the lowest payrolls, to three American League West Division titles. Beane's strategy has since opened the eyes of many top sports executives and CEOs around the country who now utilize the "Moneyball" methodology.
"Arrangements for the appearance of Billy Beane made through Greater Talent Network, Inc. New York, NY"
Work the conference like a pro with insider tips from the RIMS Conference Programming Committee. You'll learn the ins-and-outs of the conference, where sessions are held, how to maximize networking throughout the conference, and the best way to navigate the Exhibit Hall.

PHOTOS - An American student's guide to the best nightlife spots in Dublin - slideshow
When my friends and I arrived in Dublin for our study abroad last fall, there was much we didn't know.
One night, early on, some drunk men buzzed the intercom for my friend A.'s apartment. Safely inside, we had this conversation through the intercom:
Drunk Men: "Hi, we're here for the craic!"
A: "Um... there's no crack here..."
Drunk Man: "We're here for the craic! Can we come up?"
A: "No...Can you please leave?"
Drunk Man: "God, I love you."
It took us awhile, but we eventually figured out that 'craic' wasn't an illegal drug. We stopped going to Temple Bar, made Irish friends, carved Barack Obama's face into a pumpkin for Halloween, served the most un-American Thanksgiving ever (orzo was involved), and fell in love with Ireland.
One of the largest initial hurdles was not having a quality filter for various establishments around Dublin; sure, we could find a pub, but we didn't know where the good ones were, or where people our age hung out (see the aforementioned period of going to the Temple Bar: Not where Irish college students hang out.)
Through a lot of inquisitiveness - we actually wrote our numbers on slips of paper and forced them into our fellow students' hands at the end of each class - and some helpful new friends, we found the following nightlife resources for the college student visiting Dublin. We lived near St. Stephen's Green, so the list is southside (Dublin 2) oriented.
Restaurants -
Salamanca - (St. Andrew's St) Excellent tapas for a low price (try to get there in time for the early bird prix fixe menu).
The Winding Stair - (40 Lower Ormond Quay, Dublin 1) one of the best restaurants I visited in Dublin, in both decor and creativity of menu. It's pricey. On the northside, a few blocks from O'Connell St.
The Farm - (3 Dawson St) Organic local produce prepared for you.
The Counter- (Suffolk St) If you're an American missing home, grab a burger at this bastion of California culture.
PHOTOS - An American student's guide to the best nightlife spots in Dublin - slideshow
Pubs and Bars-
Porterhouse - (Nassau St. location) Frat night every Wednesday, but it's up to American visitors to bring additional frat beyond the DJ playing part of "American Pie". It's also the largest independent brewery in Ireland, if you're a fan of local brews. Another draw? They stock Rekorderlig Strawberry-Lime Cider, which will change your life. I'm desolate without it in the States. At Porterhouse it's 6 euro, but you can find it at Cassidy's (42 Camden St) for 2.50 if you want to drink it at home.
The Bleeding Horse - (Upper Camden St. and Charlotte) A very old pub at the end of Camden St. Not exceptional for any specific reason, but it's ancient and beautiful, and became the regular hangout for my friends when we were there.
The Bank on College Green -(Dame St.) Drinks are pricey, but the beautiful ceiling is worth seeing. 20 College Green
The Stag's Head- (1 Dame Court) A classic old authentic pub.
The Temple Bar- Although this falls under the category of Places Not Worth Visiting, it does so with fond memories. The Temple Bar is a district full of pubs that cater to tourists; if you're going to visit it, try the eponymous pub The Temple Bar and be prepared for crowds.
PHOTOS - An American student's guide to the best nightlife spots in Dublin - slideshow
Looking for your fellow students? We got tired of being hit on by 60-year-old men in the Temple Bar district, and migrated to these places instead.
The Pav - Trinity's campus bar (but non-Trinity students can often get in). Beer and Bulmers here is comparable to at MacTurcaills and Doyles, but you can also grab cheap cans of cider and beer- ask about their special if you're buying more than one.
MacTurcaills -(15 Townsend Street, Dublin 2) On the North side of Trinity, with prices comparable to the Pav (3.50 for pints), and a frequent venue for Trinity club nights out.
Doyle's -(9 College Street, Dublin 2) Similar to MacTurcaills, with less sitting room but an area for dancing upstairs.
Ginger Man -(40 Fenian Street, Dublin 2) Recommended to us as a place the Trinity sports teams hit up (other than the Pav).
Workman's Club -(10 Wellington Quay, Dublin 2) Located along the quay, the Workman's club has a rooftop bar open to the sky.
PHOTOS - An American student's guide to the best nightlife spots in Dublin - slideshow
Clubs -(Clubs were not particularly our scene, but we tried a few.)
Coppers - (Harcourt St.)The official name is Copperface Jacks, but don't refer to it as such. This seedy place is where everyone will ask you if you've been. It's not worth the hype unless you're looking for an anonymous hookup, which is practically guaranteed with admission.
Whelans - (Wexford St. off Camden) Much more our scene; the sort of club that plays The Smiths, which is a breath of musical fresh air from all that One Direction, but perplexing to dance to.
The Lost Society -(Powerscourt Townhouse, South William Street, D2) Dubstep in an 18th-century mansion, which makes for a bit of a trip.
D2 -(60 Harcourt Street - Dublin 2) This place feels like a high school dance, but sweatier. We might have had an okay time had not both a bouncer and another guest of the club made racist comments to my friend. Also, drinks are expensive and the crowd tends toward the teenage.

Another sign that it's Dwight Howard or bust for the Rockets' this offseason: The Clippers-Celtics negotiations for Boston coach Doc Rivers.
If the Clippers work out a deal with Boston to get Rivers, who has three years left on his contract with the Celtics, then Chris Paul would have a coach he likes and be happy to re-sign with the Clippers rather than test the free-agent market where the Rockets had hoped to be a suitor.
The Boston Globe reported today that talks between the Celtics and Clippers for compensation for Rivers are at an impasse. The Celtics would send Kevin Garnett to the Clippers but Boston wants Eric Bledsoe, center DeAndre Jordan and picks in return to free Rivers from his contract. The Clippers don't want to part with Bledsoe.
The Globe's Baxter Holmes reported via Twitter that NBA sources estimate there's a 60 percent chance of Rivers' coaching the Clippers next season. 30 percent chance he's back in broadcasting and 10 percent that he is still coaching the Celtics.
With Howard described as the Rockets' No. 1 free-agent choice and Paul as "1-A," then Houston's pursuit of the Lakers center will become more intense on July 1 when they can officially contact him if Paul is off the market.
In a weekend of sourced reports, ESPN said the Clippers were also looking at a sign-and-trade to get Howard to switch locker rooms at Staples Center but the Los Angeles Times said the Lakers wouldn't go for that, they'd either sign Howard or let him go as a free agent to free up salary cap space for 2014.
And for those jumping ahead to connect the dots on Rockets coach Kevin McHale then being a possible replacement for Rivers in Boston, it's good to remember that McHale has two years left on his contract in Houston and the Rockets aren't expected to be letting him go anytime soon.

Their expenses represent numerous aspects of the lives of two young girls of means, including purchases of clothing and furniture as well as expenses for rent, education, entertainment, and transportation. Their income derived from stocks in banks, railroads, and other companies, as well as real estate. Hannah came of age in 1841. For the next three years, the book records only the accounts of Lydia, who herself came of age in 1844.

Deja Vu
AU-Post BD: The Cullens are back in Forks when Renesmee encounters a new student. Who is she? What does her appearance mean for the Cullens? More importantly, why are they all suddenly feeling a familiar sense of Deja Vu? Canon Pairings/Multiple POV
Well this is just a little idea I came up with and decided to try and turn it into a medium length story. I always write about Bella and Edward on FF. So thought I'd give an Alice and Jasper story a try for a little change, and post it on here as well. The story will have similar themes to twilight, but with no stupid wolves (So no Jacob imprinting on Nessie, YAY), Alice is human, and Jasper's story of how he came to be a Cullen is slightly different, but that all part of the story and will be revealed in due course. However I can assure you the plot will differ greatly from the original as the story proceeds. Also I can't remember Alice's parents names I'm not even sure if the books told you them, so I'm calling them Marie and Martin. Sorry I know it's probably incorrect, but I do know Cynthia was her human sister's name.

Alice POV.
My mother and I had just collected our luggage at Seattle airport, and made our way to the new car, as she'd sold the old one, as it was just another reminder as she so delicately put it.
When we arrived in the parking lot the silver Volkswagen Sirocco, my mother had arranged to be waiting for us, was sitting there gleaming, with a huge bow tied around it as if it was a gift. Not a chance, she'd probably spent a fortune on her latest impulse buy, making good cause of the huge divorce settlement she'd received from my father, because of his success with the biggest newspaper in NYC.
As I dumped my bags in the trunk, I dreaded the two hours I'd be stuck in the car with her for, and decided to grab my iPod from the minimalist amount of things we'd brought with us by hand. The rest would be delivered at our new house, by a New York haulage firm tomorrow.
I made my way into the front seat just before my mother. As she arrived she excitedly exclaimed ''So this is Washington kid''. I groaned inwardly.
I love my mother Marie dearly; she is my mom after all. But it's like she's just never grown up, she's like a forty year old teenager.
It's like she seems to think everything will just go away by acting this way, almost as if by being young and carefree again, she can change the past. I can barely remember what she was like once upon a time before...Cynthia left us.
It feels like so long ago yet it was only 3 years, and it tore my parent's marriage apart, now this is what brings us here.
Mom interrupted me from my thoughts by trying to make awkward conversation, by pointing out the things that had changed from when she was last here.
We were headed for Fork's, the sleepy little town my mom grew up in, where nothing exciting ever happened and it constantly rained. I knew I was going to hate it, I'd miss my dad, I'd miss my friend's, but never as much as I miss my sister, nothing can compare to that.
At this point, I decided to block out any more awkward conversations by putting my iPod on and leaving my mom to reminisce silently to herself. The first song on the playlist was Leona Lewis Yesterday, and as I listened to the lyrics...
They can take the future, and the plans we made.
They can take the music that we said we would play.
All the broken dreams take everything, just take it away.
But they can never have yesterday.
They can take the future that we'll never know.
They can take the places that we said we would go.
All the broken dreams take everything, just take it away.
But they can never have yesterday.
...my mom was no longer the only one reminiscing....
I was back in my bed in my bedroom of our New York penthouse, I recognised it immediately from the pale pink decor, and the bundles of that season's clothes lying everywhere, I was addicted to shopping, what can I say?.
I was thrashing around and moaning in my sleep. Next second I was wide awake, screaming and with my back covered in sweat. My father came rushing into my room telling me not to worry; it was just a bad dream. It had felt so vivid though, my mom and Cynthia, in a car with a huge truck skidding across the highway towards them, and nowhere for them to go. It was heading straight for my beautiful sister's side of the car that was when I woke up. I didn't tell my dad about it though; I didn't want to relive it.
I knew what this memory was, it was my dream, and I can remember it all too clearly. It was the night before the fateful day; if only I'd known then it was a premonition and not a dream.
The next memory came flooding into my head, before I could think anymore.
I was sitting by the huge plasma screen TV in the lounge, and mom and Cynthia came in. My eleven year old sister meant more to me than anything in the world; we were like carbon copies, except Cynthia was a miniature version of me.
She was dressed in a white and navy sailor style outfit, with white ankle socks and navy pumps, she looked so adorable. Her black hair the same shade as my own, although just in a more childlike style, as it hung by her shoulders.
They announced they were heading to the mall, and asked if I wanted to join them, but being on my period, even shopping didn't sound fun, so I refused.
The next memory came flooding on me, even though I didn't want to remember this particular one.
I was curled up on the couch with ice-cream, watching a Friends box set in my pyjamas, and hadn't even noticed night-time had almost fallen, and that everyone had been gone for hours. Then as the door opened I looked up to see my dad, and looked to the clock on the wall. He was never home as early as 7pm, something must be wrong. My suspicions were even further aroused, when two police officers followed him through the door and into the lounge.
"Alice honey, we need to talk, can you put the TV off", he said through choked tears. "Sure dad, what's up", I asked, praying I didn't get the answer I was expecting, yet dreading at the same time.
He pushed back the tears and told me the story, something to do with a skidding truck, crashing into the car, on the way to the mall. I can't remember the details; I must have blocked them out. All I know is my sister, my beautiful little sister was gone, and I'd never see her again, and my mother was in hospital.
I felt my dad cradle me in his arms as I broke down, we didn't say anything just cried.
As I sat in my father's arms I remembered my dream again. I hadn't realised this morning they'd been wearing the same clothes as they had in my dream, but they were, and now Cynthia's gone, and I could have prevented it. I could have prevented it. I could have prevented it.
I came back to myself as my memories began to mock me, but there was no denying they were right. If only I'd known then that it wasn't a dream but a premonition, and I could have told them not to leave that day, and then Cynthia would still be here, and my mom and dad would still be together, and I wouldn't be sad, but happy at home in NYC.
After mom's divorce was finalised, she decided this was what we both needed, a fresh start. I however defined it as running from the past. There's no point though, the past can't be erased, and I know because I've tried, all I know is the future can be undone...
And now we're here...
So guys that was the first chapter, what did you think? Please review and let me know. I really wanted to try something different from my usual, so this is it, and I haven't tried before, so any feedbacks gratefully appreciated.
I don't own the song either; it was Yesterday by Leona Lewis...
Thanks for reading, please review =)...x

On Friday afternoon, Brooklyn Bridge Park will officially open a roller rink at Pier 2, a new five-acre recreation area with fitness equipment, shuffleboard and basketball courts that opened in mid-May.
And on Friday night, Prospect Park's new rink plans to host the first of its weekly roller skating parties run by Lola Star, whose popular Dreamland Roller Rink closed in Coney Island in 2010. The first party is "Flashdance" themed, complete with a red carpet and circus performers.
With a third rink, this one at Riverbank State Park in Hamilton Heights, also being renovated, New Yorkers who still love going for an old-school spin are wondering if the pastime—which calls to mind preteen birthday parties and 80s icons, such as Olivia Newton-John in the film "Xanadu" or Cher with her roller-themed "Hell on Wheels" video—is making a resurgence in the city.
"I think roller skating is definitely coming back and going to bigger than ever," said Ms. Star, whose real name is Dianna Carlin. "I feel like people are looking for something to do [at night] without just going out to a bar, something to do when you go on a date."
Officials at the 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park, which also features soccer fields and picnic areas, thought roller skating fit perfectly into the park's mission—not to mention its facilities.
"We have these great big flat piers and we were looking for wonderful uses that would captivate the widest range of folks to come down," said Brooklyn Bridge Park president Regina Myer. "Skating is something that really is across age groups and across interest groups."
And since Pier 2 opened in May, the roller rink has already started to attract visitors in advance of its official opening on Friday.
On a recent sunny weekday, Robert Nicholas, 35 years old, watched his children Diamante Dillon, 7, Damani Brathwaite, 5, and Anaya Dillon, 9, slowly navigate the rink, amused and undeterred by their frequent falls.
"Nothing's changed," about the skating experience from when he was a child, Mr. Nicholas said. "It's a good thing they put this down here for us to get our skate on."
The 180-foot-long oval rink at Brooklyn Bridge Park is operated by Michael Feiger of New York Skating LLC, a former owner of Empire Roller Skating Center in Brooklyn, which was more than 60 years old when it closed in 2007. The rink will be open daily during the summer from 10 a.m. to 10 or 11 p.m. and will also have evening adult skating sessions accompanied by a DJ.
Roller skating exploded from a childhood pastime to entertainment for grown-ups in the disco era of the 1970s and 1980s. That period "was really the peak of roller skating because disco music is perfect roller skating music," Mr. Feiger said. "Anything that's good to dance to is good to skate to."
But as people turned their attention to other fitness crazes and sports, roller rinks struggled to keep up, particularly with increases in property taxes on their large spaces.
Roller Skating Association International, a trade organization that represents rinks and manufacturers since 1937, estimates there are about 1,200 roller rinks open in the U.S., down from a high of between 1,600 and 2,000 in the 1980s. But its executive director, Jim McMahon, said there is evidence of people lacing up their skates again, with their 800 roller rink members opening 14 new rinks last year, double the number in recent years.
Mr. McMahon said the industry has rebounded by moving to the edges of cities where taxes are lower and investing in sophisticated sound systems and finishes. "It would not be unusual to see one of the nicest sound systems in the community being in the local roller rink," Mr. McMahon said, "with a lighting system that would be equal to a rock concert."
It has also helped that the sport has acquired a retro chic vibe as well, Mr. McMahon added, with roller skaters appearing in recent music videos by Cage The Elephant, Avicii and Beyoncé.
The roller skating scene in New York City went through a bit of a slump when three rinks closed within a short period of each other in 2006 and 2007, followed by Dreamland Roller Rink in 2010. In recent years, it has also rebounded with more opportunities to skate in parks and with private clubs.
More than 20,000 people have visited Prospect Park's Samuel J. and Ethel LeFrak Center since it was converted from a 16,000-square-foot ice rink to a roller skating rink in April. The park is expecting more than 50,000 people to have visited by the time it returns to an ice skating rink in mid-October.
Requests for members of Central Park Dance Skaters Association to choreograph and perform dance skate routines are on the increase lately, as are the number of spectators at the group's dance circle, which has taken place in Central Park since 1978, said the organization's President Bob Nichols.
"Roller skating has been there all along, it is the perception of skating in the popular imagination that has changed," Mr. Nichols said. "There was an assumption that we were frozen in time—in the retro roller disco era—wearing the same outfits and dancing to the same music."
"The truth is that the culture around skating has continued to evolve along with the rest of the world," he said.
Skaters at Pier 2—at least those who aren't looking at the floor trying not to fall—get a view of lower Manhattan, One World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty as they glide around the rink.
Roller skating "really never goes out of fashion," said rink operator Michael Feiger. "The fun continues to evolve as you get better and better."

So, Ebscohost has an app. So does VisualDx. FirstConsult has an app, but MD Consult has a mobile web version.
I'm just trying to make sense of this, so I can sound like I know what I'm talking about as I roll this mobile stuff out to my customers. So far, not working!
But here's a blog that might help: iMedicalApps. The site bills itself as "mobile medical app reviews and commentary by medical professionals."
iMedicalApps features sometimes lengthy reviews, including pricing information where applicable. You can choose a device type (iPhone, Android, Blackberry) or filter by medical specialty, though the filter isn't working on my older version of Internet Explorer.
Some of my favorite articles are those listing "top apps" for various constituencies such as "internal medicine residents" or "medical students on clinical rotation."
iMedicalApps also presents relevant news stories, such as the "Mobile Medical News Roundup," and reports on recent clinical studies, like "Hospital hand washing compliance improved using a mobile app.

Gov. Martin O'Malley's announcement of $650 million for transportation projects in the Washington suburbs is welcome news for some Marylanders, but it also highlights serious concerns about how new gas tax money is allocated ("O'Malley announces nearly $650M for county transportation improvements," July 9).
Every major state transportation project since the mid-1990s has gone to the Washington region. Just the four largest projects in that period — the Inter-County Connector, the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and completion of the Metro system's Blue and Green lines — total over $5 billion.
When will Baltimore area commuters and taxpayers receive their rightful share of state transportation money?
Recently funded Baltimore projects are comparatively small in terms of both cost and impact on congestion. But dozens of shovel-ready projects exist, ranging from new MARC stations to finally finishing the decades-long rebuilding of the I-695 Beltway.
Instead, these projects languish for lack of funding as Baltimore commuters pay into a system that doesn't return their fair share. To add insult to injury, commuters pay again by enduring endless construction for whatever does get built because the state relies on phasing in the work rather than fully funding entire projects that would deliver meaningful mobility improvements.
The Baltimore region has waited patiently for the past two decades as big ticket projects went to the Washington suburbs. It's time that Baltimore area leaders and residents demand a fair share of gas tax revenue and serious investment in our transportation system.

STANFORD, Calif. – Top-ranked Connecticut's record 90-game winning streak is over.
The Huskies never led and were beaten by No. 9 Stanford 71-59 on Thursday night, ending a remarkable run that drew national attention and acclaim to women's basketball.
Stanford was the last school to beat coach Geno Auriemma's team, in the 2008 NCAA semifinals.
Jeanette Pohlen hit five 3-pointers on the way to a career-high 31 points and the Cardinal (9-2) had the Huskies' number at last — a huge number at that. Stanford won its 52nd straight at Maples Pavilion in a rematch of last season's NCAA title game won 53-47 by two-time defending national champion UConn.
Last week, the Huskies (12-1) topped the 88-game winning streak set by John Wooden's UCLA men's team from 1971-74 by beating No. 22 Florida State 93-62, then won their 90th in a row this week at Pacific.
Huskies star Maya Moore was held to 14 points on 5-of-15 shooting. UConn hadn't lost since an 82-73 defeat to Stanford on April 6, 2008, in the Final Four at Tampa, Fla.
Pohlen sealed it with six free throws in the final 42.5 seconds. She shot 8-for-15 overall and had nine rebounds and six assists. Nnemkadi Ogwumike added 12 points and six rebounds and Kayla Pedersen 11 rebounds for an inspired Stanford squad that held a 43-36 advantage on the boards.
Moore's 3-pointer with 10:50 left cut Stanford's lead to 48-44, then Pedersen answered moments later on the other end. Moore tried to will her team back late, scoring eight straight during one stretch. But she missed the front end of a one-and-one off the rim with 1:42 left that could have made it a four-point game.
Kelly Faris scored 19 points and Bria Hartley added 14 for the Huskies, who never found their usual dominant form while playing in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 7,329-plus for this highly anticipated, nationally televised showdown between the top programs from either coast.
UConn was headed home from the Bay Area on what certainly would be an extra-long redeye flight out of San Francisco. The team just beat the big East Coast blizzard to get here, leaving at 6:30 a.m. Sunday. UConn played at Maples for the first time since Dec. 28, 1993, and Stanford has won all three meetings in the rivalry on its home floor.
For the Cardinal, this was a long time coming. Coach Tara VanDerveer, who joined the elite 800-win club last week, thought about that championship loss for months and felt her team missed a big opportunity, saying it fueled her to be a better coach and did the same for her players. Stanford hasn't won it all since 1992 despite making the last three Final Fours.
Stanford led at halftime for the third straight time facing UConn, having blown a 20-12 edge at the break in the title game last April.
Moore missed her initial four shots and didn't score her first points until knocking down a 3 at with 3:14 left in the opening half. The two-time national player of the year came in averaging 24.8 points and received a rousing ovation from the Stanford crowd when starting lineups were introduced, though Auriemma was booed.
