Tales from abroad: Panama
This past August, 11 Carnegie Mellon students traveled to Panama for a week to participate in a medical brigade. A medical brigade consists of a team of student and medical professional volunteers organized into a mobile medical unit, setting up temporary day clinics to diagnose and treat patients for free. We were joined by one student from Albion College, two students from the University of North Carolina, and many nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and nursing students from Samuel Merritt University in California. For three days, we visited the two communities of Chriqui Viejo and Soloy.
Memorable moments: Beth Aguila
While shadowing a nurse practitioner for the day, I saw one family that I will never forget. The family consisted of a mother who was eight months pregnant, her two sons, and a grandmother. They had walked for nearly an hour and a half to visit our temporary day clinic.
The two children and the mother had all of the typical issues plaguing the community — severe dehydration, vitamin deficiencies, parasites, and fungal infections. However, it was the grandmother who captured my attention. She was nearly 80 years old, and she had come to the clinic to watch the two boys while her daughter was given a checkup. Although she seemed remarkably healthy for an 80-year-old woman, we realized that she had severe tachycardia — a condition in which a person's heart rate exceeds the normal range for a resting heart rate.
We discovered that the grandmother usually goes for an entire day without drinking water or eating. Since food and water are so scarce for her family, she often gave up her share for her pregnant daughter and grandchildren. The nurse and I then attempted to explain to her the importance of eating and drinking at least seven glasses of water a day, especially in such a hot region.
However, it was not this learning experience that made me remember them; instead, it was the pure joy and gratitude the grandmother and her family felt toward us that was memorable. For the rest of the day, every time the grandmother saw me, she would grab my hand and thank me profusely. This experience showed me how just 20 minutes of providing care to a family who almost never gets the chance to see a medical professional can mean the world to them.
Memorable moments: Eda Akyar
While on the brigade, we encountered many truly amazing and memorable Panamanians whose stories were uplifting, to say the least. As a non-native Spanish speaker, I worried about my speaking abilities upon arrival in Panama. I had taken seven years of Spanish and studied abroad during the summer for seven weeks in Madrid, Spain after my first year at Carnegie Mellon; however, due to the fact that we would be working with Spanish speakers who had no English education — unlike many Spaniards in Madrid — in addition to some Panamanians who knew only their own indigenous language, I knew I would face the challenge of a language barrier.
But after a week of complete immersion, I felt as if I had gained all of my speaking abilities (and confidence) back.
On the third day of our brigade, I had a chance to shadow a doctor. Toward the latter part of the day, one of the providers pulled me aside; she needed help translating. After working through two patients with her, she told me to go ahead and just try my own patient. And so, with the provider's supervision, I took a history of my own patient, explaining to the provider all of the patient's health conditions and lifestyle, diagnosed the patient, and produced some recommendations for medicine and dosage.
I then saw three more patients on my own. Although we were working in rather uncomfortable conditions — a lack of proper lighting or air conditioning leaving us drenched in our own sweat — I had never felt happier in my life.
Being able to communicate with the patients, I established a comfortable relationship with them. I was able to empathize with them, which made me more determined to provide the best care that I possibly could. With the provider double-checking my every decision, I made recommendations for each patient, considering family history and environmental factors including home life and typical working conditions. The best part of the whole experience was walking the patient over to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine that I recommended — the gratitude I saw in each patient's face was indescribable.
Ultimately, our brigade provided free medical care to nearly 700 patients in only three days. Our Carnegie Mellon brigade was able to raise and deliver over $60,000 worth of medicine to Panama. The medicine we provided helped patients with a wide range of illnesses, spanning from vitamin deficiencies to heart murmurs. The brigade experience was truly one of a kind, and we all look forward to our next brigade to Panama this coming summer.

Michel-Schlumberger Merlot le Sage 2009
Michel-Schlumberger Wine Estate:
The estate was founded in 1979 and named Domaine Michel by Jean-Jacques Michel. A native of Switzerland, Michel formed a special attachment to Sonoma County.

The estate was founded in 1979 and named Domaine Michel by Jean-Jacques Michel. A native of Switzerland, Michel formed a special attachment to Sonoma County. After a two-year search, he planted his roots in Dry Creek Valley because of its cooler microclimates and its abundance of well-defined benchlands (his model was as much the uplifted benches of the Mc Peninsula as Napa's Rutherford Bench). He found a series of benchland soils in the Valley's Wine Creek Canyon with excellent exposures that were especially well contoured for growing grapes. With his partner Ridgely Bullock, Michel planted fifty acres of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, and chardonnay-uncommon varieties for Dry Creek Valley, then and now. Today Michel-Schlumberger has a well-earned reputation for its excellent Bordeaux varieties. We have long believed in blending these varieties for complexity, and our red wines have harnessed the ripe, raw power of the new world with the elegant reins of the old. For example, our merlot has consistently shown well-knit aromatics and richly structured flavors-unusual characteristics for what is known in California as a soft, "entry-level" wine. Likewise our cabernet is prized for its classic claret balance, depth of fruit, and nuance. These are wines of finesse. The special growing conditions of Dry Creek Valley give its wines a character of elegance. The relatively cool growing season nourishes a distinctive balance in the Valley's grapes, ripening them slowly and evenly. The French would say point, or just right. Both red and white wine grapes retain a measure of acidity, lending themselves to making exuberant wines with lively flavors. The red wine grapes also typically have healthy levels of tannins. These are unabashed tannins, and the better cabernets in particular wear them like a nicely tailored suit. Acidity provides freshness and lift; tannins provide immense flavor interest that bring a person back again and again. Both allow a wine to age handsomely. Notched into the western edge of Dry Creek Valley like a small amphitheater, Wine Creek Canyon nicely sets the stage for ripening point. The Canyon juts into the coastal range just at Dry Creek's temperate mid-section, piercing the Valley's western flank. Michel-Schlumberger's rolling benches buttress the Canyon's northern hillsides, and generally slope south, an exposure that gives them a full day's worth of sun. At the same time, vineyards on these benches are closer to the ocean than most-the Pacific is only seventeen miles away. Shortly after five o'clock the ocean air arrives, and during the ripening season Michel-Schlumberger's vineyards are among the first to cool down. At the end of a working day, if you were to walk along the forest at the western edge of our vineyards, you would experience this change of climate firsthand. It is the time of day when the sun has closed upon the horizon and shadows are cast long over the vines. Ahead, on the terraced uplands to the north, grow the treasured Jackson clones of cabernet. Most of those vines are still in sunlight, and should you step out into that light, you would feel the heat of a western day. But here in the shadows a distinctly cool and constant breeze has begun to flow out of the trees and into the vineyards. This breeze feels remarkably like air conditioning. Its noteworthy cooling power goes a long way toward explaining how grapes in this little pocket canyon can ripen fully, and succulently, without losing their composure. Tasting Room We offer wine tasting and a tour of the estate to guests by appointment at 11:00am or 2:00pm daily. Read less

A San Rafael real estate investor was charged Tuesday with bid rigging and mail fraud, federal authorities said.
Michael Navone was charged amid an ongoing investigation into fraudulent activity at public real estate foreclosure auctions in Northern California. Prosecutors said they filed the charges in conjunction with a plea deal accepted by Navone.
The government said his plea agreement is one of 40 reached so far in the investigation, which has been conducted by the FBI and the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division.
Authorities said the crimes occurred during 2009, 2010 and 2011 in San Francisco and San Mateo County. The point of the conspiracy was to acquire property at noncompetitive prices, prosecutors said.
Navone allegedly conspired with others to arrange auction winners in advance. He also made and took payoffs to divert money to other conspirators that should have gone to mortgage and debt holders, prosecutors said.
Navone is charged with two counts of bid rigging, each of which carries up to 10 years in prison, and two counts of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, each of which carries up to 30 years in prison. The charges also carry potential fines of $1 million or more.
The terms of the plea offer were not released. Navone could not be reached for comment, and federal court filings do not list a defense attorney in the case.

When you are using an RDBMS datastore you need to specify how your class will map on to the relational datastore. This part is termed Object-Relational Mapping. This is not required for other types of datastore. When you are persisting to RDBMS datastores you are mapping a series of objects into a series of datastore tables in a schema. These tables are interrelated using foreign-keys. With JPA1 you can define almost fully this object-relational mapping in the MetaData (or in annotations if you so wish).
The design of the persistence layer of an application requiring object-relational mapping can be approached in 3 ways.
DataNucleus can be used in all of these modes, though provides significant assistance for Forward Mapping cases. In particular, when using this mode you can use the DataNucleus SchemaTool to generate the datastore schema, based on a set of input classes and MetaData files. It should be noted though that DataNucleus SchemaTool also provides modes of operation for updating an existing schema, and hence can also be used for Meet in the Middle Mapping. Additionally, it can be used as a validation mechanism when designing your system in Reverse Mapping mode, where it will inform you of inconsistencies between your classes and your datastore schema.

Will my courses transfer?
Mohawk Valley Community College's transfer equivalency site is intended as a guide for our prospective students and is continually updated with new equivalencies as they are determined.
The information on our TES system is provided as a guide to how previous college credit work may transfer to MVCC. Please note: There may be some programmatic variations in how some transfer credit is applied. Final determination of transfer credit acceptance is ultimately made by the Dean of your Academic Center. You must provide official transcripts of all completed coursework in order for transfer credit to be applied.
I have read the above statements, and I am ready to see how my courses can transfer into MVCC!
To see all the courses listed for all the years, click on the "VIEW ALL" when you select the school you would like to view!
If you are interested in seeing how your courses can transfer out of MVCC to another institution.
SUNY Transfer Appeal Process
If you do not agree with Mohawk Valley Community College's decision on the granting or placement of credit that you earned at a prior SUNY institution, you have the right to submit an appeal to either Dr. Richard Quest, Dean of the Rome Campus, or Dr. Maryrose Eannace, Vice President for Learning and Academic Affairs.
While each campus has a slightly different transfer appeal process, you should be prepared to provide reasonable material to support your case, such as the course description or syllabus in question. The campus transfer representative will explain the process to you and let you know exactly what materials are needed.
Once all of the required information is received, the expectation is that the transfer appeal representative will provide you with a written response within 15 business days. If the decision finds merit to change the course to meet a major requirement, the representative will notify you, the chairperson and/or program coordinator, and will see that the change is made to your student record.
If the decision is unchanged, or you have not received a response in 15 business days, you may take your appeal to the SUNY System Provost by submitting the Student Transfer Appeal Form along with requested materials.
The SUNY Provost will respond to your appeal within five business days from receipt of the completed appeal application. If the decision finds merit to change the course to meet a major requirement, the receiving institution will be notified to take appropriate action.

Volvo China Open. Levy Lifts the Trophy April 27 2014
Alexander and Trophy / Getty Images
Apart from a wobble during the final round, carding a double bogey six on the fifteenth hole Alexander cruised to victory. A last round -3 under par 69 was enough to see off the challenge of Tommy Fleetwood, at one point the lead was only one shot. Alexander replied to his double on 15 with birdies at 17 and 18, to post the winning score of-19 under par;
"I didn't feel pressure, it was a difficult putt, difficult pin position, my ball was in the divot. It was a difficult shot, I made double bogey but I knew I was playing well and I was only thinking about my game."
"I hit one of my best shots on 17. I didn't feel pressure on the golf course because I'm confident. I just played my golf and focussed on the target. I saw Tommy made a birdie on the 17th but I like the pressure."
Of the smile that he has been wearing all week, Alexander had this to say;
"You need to take the pleasure on the golf course and keep the smile because if you are upset about a missed shot or not lucky because you make a lip out or something like that, it's not good to have this feeling on the golf course. You need to enjoy and have the smile."
Tommy Fleetwood fired a last round -4 under par 68, but in the end it was not good enough to catch the runaway leader. He congratulated Alexander on great play;
"We aim for wins, but today I didn't really have a chance. I had to play outstanding golf, but Alex has led from Friday, and that's one of the hardest things you can do. What a performance from him."
Alvaro Quiros finished third, his expected charge in the last round did not materialize, he carded a par round of 72, and final score of -13 under par. Six shots behind his playing partner, and the man he was trying to catch, Alexander.
Henrik Stenson, who needed to win here to overtake Tiger Woods at the top of the World Golf Rankings carded a final bogey free round -7 under par 65, to finish T5. He really wants that number one spot;
"It's really tight and I just need to play better if I want to get to that spot. And I should have to play better than I have done earlier on this year if I want to get to world No. 1, that's for sure,"
Low round of the day went to Anders Hansen, a -9 under par 63. He finished alongside Henrik and Ian Poulter.

You don't remember bumping into anything. Yet somehow, you have a shin full of bruises and a whole lot of questions. There are plenty of reasons for easy bruising, the discoloration caused by a trauma that ruptured blood vessels just under the skin. Check out the surprising explanations behind your sore spots and learn which ones are harmless and which ones need attention.
You're getting older
As you age, two things happen to your skin: It loses protective layers of fat, and the production of the structural protein collagen slows down. That means thinner skin that's more susceptible to bruising. "This is incredibly common in the 60+ population," says Gary Goldenberg, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at The Mount Sinai Hospital. "It takes a lot less trauma to create a bruise than it ever did before in your life."
You never miss a chance to sun yourself
A long history of sun exposure (especially skin-damaging sunburns) will leave you with thinner skin--and more bruises--even faster. "You lose collagen as you age, but the UV light damages it even more," says Goldenberg. While you can't turn back time, you can prevent future sun damage (and, in turn, a future of easy bruising) with a good SPF.
Don't miss these 3 spots most people forget to apply sunscreen to.
You take a daily aspirin
It's the most common reason why you're waking up with random bruises, says Goldenberg. Aspirin, as well as blood thinners, work by disabling the platelets that cause blood to coagulate or clot. With thinner blood and less clotting cells, even a minor trauma will leave a mark.
Bruising aside, should you really be taking a daily aspirin?
It's just your skin tone
If you have fair, thin skin, you're naturally more susceptible to bruising even from minor bumps and bangs, says Goldenberg. "Those of us with more adipose or fatty tissue won't see a spot from the same level of trauma." Another culprit: varicose veins, spider veins, or naturally more prominent veins. Smacking one of those against the coffee table is bound to leave a mark.
You have vasculitis
That's medical-speak for a group of diseases that causes inflammation of the blood vessels. It's often characterized by red bruises called purpura, which result from those inflamed blood vessels bursting. Vasculitis is believed to be an autoimmune disease or a result of a long-time chronic disease like hepatitis, but nobody knows exactly what causes it. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and numbness or weakness in a hand or foot. If this sounds like you, it's best to see your doctor; she may prescribe medications to ease your symptoms and reduce the inflammation.
You need more citrus in your life!
True vitamin deficiencies are rare in the US, but they do become more common with age. "In fact, the reason people put lemon and limes in their drinks is because vitamin C deficiencies are common in alcoholics," Goldenberg says. Vitamin C is important in wound healing and the production of collagen, an important structural component of skin. Without enough of it, your blood vessels are out in the open and more likely to rupture. Signs you need more vitamin C (and a trip to the doc for a blood test): fatigue, depression, bleeding gums, swollen joints, nosebleeds, and dry hair and skin.
You have purpuric dermatosis
Another vascular condition, this one means that blood leaks out from very small capillaries, resulting in thousands of teeny tiny orange and purple bruises. "This is fairly common in the elderly, especially in the shin area, and can look like cayenne pepper from far away," Goldenberg says. The most severe cases could cause itching, but prescription topical creams and good sunscreen habits are enough to rid yourself of the condition.

Their once ace has an ERA over 4.5 and Carlos Gomez is their top power guy. I think they throw in the towel. Will be interesting to see if anyone gets traded (Gallardo, Weeks, A-Ram if he ever comes off the DL).
Thursday: Fade Houston (bet on Toronto) A game.
Toronto wins on the A game. Tor/Hou now goes to the double dip chase on Friday, 9 games left on Hou trip.

When the Dynamo take the field Saturday against D.C. United, it will mark the eighth season in Houston for the men in orange. Hard to believe that it's already been seven years since Brian Ching took the Bayou City by storm, scoring four goals in the first match at Robertson Stadium.
With that in mind, we take a look back at the past seven home openers in Dynamo history:
Houston Dynamo vs. Colorado Rapids
Date: April 2, 2006
Result: W 5-2
Recap: In the inaugural match for the Houston Dynamo, Brian Ching became an immediate Houston hero, scoring four goals in a 5-2 victory over the Colorado Rapids. Alejandro Moreno put the icing on the cake with a stoppage-time bicycle kick that earned MLS Goal of the Week honors.
Houston Dynamo vs. LA Galaxy
Date: April 8, 2007
Result: T 0-0
Recap: After raising the 2006 MLS Cup championship banner, the Dynamo were unable to pull out a win on the field in their home opener. Pat Onstad and the defense held on for a shutout despite a late red card to defender Ryan Cochrane.
Houston Dynamo vs. FC Dallas
Date: April 6, 2008
Result: T 3-3
Recap: In the MLS home opener, the Dynamo fell behind 2-1 and 3-2 to their in-state rivals, but a sensational 93rd-minute goal from rookie Geoff Cameron, making his first start, lifted Houston into a tie.
Houston Dynamo vs. Columbus Crew
Date: March 21, 2009
Result: T 1-1
Recap: Brian Ching and Guillermo Barros Schelotto traded second-half goals as the Dynamo earned a point against the defending MLS Cup champions.
Houston Dynamo vs. Real Salt Lake
Date: April 1, 2010
Result: W 2-1
Recap: Brad Davis converted two second-half penalties two minutes apart as the Dynamo pulled out a 2-1 win over defending MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake in the 2010 home opener.
Houston Dynamo vs. Philadelphia Union
Date: March 19, 2011
Result: L 1-0
Recap: A fifth-minute Danny Califf goal was enough for the Philadelphia Union who pulled out a 1-0 victory to spoil the Dynamo's 2011 home opener at Robertson Stadium.
Houston Dynamo vs. D.C. United
Date: May 12, 2012
Result: W 1-0
Recap: In the inaugural match at BBVA Compass Stadium, the Dynamo and D.C. United looked destined for a draw before Brad Davis' 67th-minute goal brought the crowd to its feet and gave the Dynamo three points few will ever forget.

If you've seen the predecessors to "The Avengers" — "Iron Man" (2008), the Edward Norton version of "The Incredible Hulk" (2008), "Iron Man 2" (2010), "Thor" (2011) and "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011) — part of the new entry's fun is seeing how each of those films' central characters reacts when demoted from sole hero to just another ingredient in a superhero stew. If you haven't seen them, that particular thrill may be lost, but you can still follow the plot well enough to take a good guess at our heroes' back stories.
Disney is releasing the new film; and, even though each of the others came from Universal or Paramount, partner Marvel Studios has managed to maintain an amazing degree of continuity. Mark Ruffalo has inherited the dual role of Hulk/Bruce Banner, but Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Evans have returned as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Thor and Steve Rogers/Captain America, along with Scarlett Johansson, Clark Gregg, Stellan Skarsgard, Gwyneth Paltrow and Tom Hiddleston in supporting roles. Samuel L. Jackson had cameos as Nick Fury in a few of the earlier movies; now that Fury emerges as a full-fledged player, his presence pulls the whole series together.
The plot, such as it is, once again involves the tesseract, an apparently infinite power source that looks like a glowing Rubik's cube. While Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. is running experiments, Loki (Hiddleston) snatches it away, somehow making Dr. Selvig (Skarsgard) and Cliff Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) his slaves. Fury and his cohorts — Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Johansson) and Agent Coulson (Gregg) — recruit the others. Not always easy: Captain America must be defrosted from 70 years in a block of ice, and Bruce Banner has to be cajoled into giving up the solitary life he's constructed to keep his Hulk self at bay.
But, you know, like the whole world is at stake, so who can refuse?
The rest of the plot boils down to: Loki and his forces invade the Earth; the Avengers battle him; and everybody scrambles to possess the tesseract. Outside of that, the purpose and setup for each individual action scene had evaporated from my brain before I reached the parking lot.
The best way to describe all the things director/co-writer Joss Whedon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Serenity") does right is to compare the film to Michael Bay's "Transformers" franchise. First of all, you can actually distinguish the characters here, whereas, having missed the original "Transformers" craze, I could never tell Optimus Prime from Minimus Secundus or Pessimus Tertius or whoever those walking scrap heaps were supposed to be. In addition, we know what each Avenger's powers and limitations are; what the goals of each side are in any given clash. The final New York battle scene is almost as excessive as Bay's endless blow-'em-ups, but, both visually and story-wise, it's relatively clear what the stakes are, and who's doing what for which reason.
While Whedon displays admirable restraint and intelligence, there are few moments of inspiration. Outside of a string of excellent wisecracks — Downey gets almost all the good lines — and one bit with the Hulk, there is never the sense of giddy excitement that, say, "Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol" creates numerous times. While no one is likely to be hugely disappointed, no one is likely to be totally juiced either.

Dimension Data, a global ICT solutions and services provider, recently announced the results of its 2012 Global Contact Center Benchmarking Report, which includes data collected from 637 contact centers in 72 countries across the Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, and Middle East and Africa. This year's report found that rapid adoption of emerging communication channels – much of which is enabled by new mobile and smartphone devices, wireless connectivity and social media – is making a significant impact.
As a result, organizations are now rushing to provide additional service channels as consumers demand varied types of collaboration when they engage with organizations. The telephone is no longer a consumer's primary point of contact with an organization, while at the same time, mobile and social media interactions are increasingly making the contact center's role more important than ever.

"Women Leading By Example" is the theme of the historic Junior League of Pittsburgh, an organization dedicated to promoting voluntarism and nurturing the potential of women to take leadership roles and to improve the surrounding community.

Since 1922, the women's organization has been a pillar in the community for accessing and meeting its needs. As they celebrate their 90th anniversary, they are even more committed to continuing their work and the rich legacy of their sisters before them.
"It is incredible to think of the legacy and community impact that the women before us have left," said Christina Johansen, president of the JLP. "We are just so proud to have been a part of the Pittsburgh community for 90 years. The women who came before us have been trailblazers and it's inspiring to be entrusted with that legacy."
During its 90 years, the Junior League has been instrumental in founding some of the city's most notable institutions, such as Vintage Senior Community Center in East Liberty, the Children's Museum, the Transplant Recipients International Organization Inc., Three Rivers Adoption Council and many more. They also partner with organizations like KaBOOM!, to build playgrounds for children in underserved areas. They have also given out scholarships and $500,000 in grants in the last 10 years.
"We have always been looking for where there is a need, how to be impactful and how to fill those needs," said Johansen. "Our goal, whether the next 10, 20 or 90 years is to continue to develop women and our training so that we continue to make that impact on the community."
Thelma Lovette Morris, the first African-American president of the JLP (1990-1991) and daughter of civil rights leader Thelma Lovette, said the Junior League is an opportunity for women, especially African-American women, to expand one's horizons and make lifelong friendships. "Our world is bigger than our own African-American community." Morris, who is now a resident of Arizona, said she is pleased to see how the Pittsburgh league is growing and encourages their continued efforts to the community.
In October the JLP held its 90th anniversary gala at the Children's Museum and welcomed Toni Freeman, president of the Association of Junior Leagues International Inc. as the keynote speaker.
"We were honored to have her join us. She's an inspiration as a leader and a woman; and is impressive both in her professional capacity and volunteer capacity," said Johansen.
"The League has had a long standing commitment to community service and has been nimble as the community's needs change and are ever changing," said Freeman. "We are dedicated to community service and the opportunity to work with other women."
While in years past, the League has lacked African-American participation; Freeman said she has seen more of a presence in recent years. She told of when she joined her local League, how there were only three African-Americans in her class and now there are many more. "There has been a great effort for casting and making this organization diverse," she said.
Morris said there is often a stereotype associated with the League of it being exclusive, but that it is not true. Like Morris, Johansen, said the League is open to all. "We are committed to diversity of all kinds, except sex. We embrace diversity and it bring us a fresh perspective, helps us to make better decisions and have a greater impact."
Johansen said the JLP is always looking for new members and will be accepting new members in the summer. Applicants must be at least 21 and have a desire to give back.
Morris says to women, if there is an interest and a want to volunteer and make an impact, then the Junior League is for you.

Stetson University was founded as DeLand Academy in 1883 by New York businessman Henry A. DeLand, and in 1889 was renamed for John B. Stetson, the nationally known hat manufacturer and philanthropist who gave generously to the school. The university has been independent since it was founded, but had a historical relationship with the Baptist denomination. That relationship was dissolved in 1993.
Florida's first private university, Stetson University today has two campuses and two satellite centers along the Interstate 4 corridor. The historic main campus in DeLand houses the College of Arts & Sciences, School of Business Administration and School of Music. The university also includes the main College of Law campus in Gulfport/St. Petersburg, the Tampa Law Center in downtown Tampa and the Stetson University Center at Celebration in the Orlando area.
Stetson University serves a diverse student population of 3,700 in nationally recognized undergraduate, graduate and professional programs. The university's four colleges and schools offer more than 60 majors and minors in 13 degree programs. There are 256 full-time faculty members, 95 percent of whom hold Ph.D. or equivalent degrees, and there is an 11 to 1 student-teacher ratio. Stetson is consistently ranked among the best universities in the South in U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges" edition.

Angela Sweers, a Hope College sophomore and nursing major from Williamston, has won one of only 10 scholarships nationwide in the 2008 "A Nurse I Am Scholarship Program" sponsored by Cherokee Uniforms.
Selection is based on an essay written in response to the inspirational nurses film "A Nurse I Am." Entrants are asked to explain how viewing the film changed or enhanced their perception of nursing as a career and to use one of the nurses in the film as a role model in explaining why someone should purse nursing as a career. Scholarship winners each receive $2,000.
"The winning essays were thoughtful, creative and represented students whose writing skills are exceptional," said Wendell Mobley, director of Cherokee's A Nurse I Am Film & Scholarship Program. "Cherokee Uniforms appreciates the hundreds of students who participated in this year's scholarship application process."
Sweers was chosen for her essay "Nursing: A Career of Compassionate Heroism." In advocating for the career, she wrote, "Pursuing a nursing career can be synonymous with pursuing a career of heroism if all aspects of compassionate, holistic nursing care are met. Therefore, an individual who actively displays compassion, and has the desire to help others while encouraging them through some of the hardest circumstances of their lives, should consider pursuing nursing as a career."
Sweers is interested in pursuing her nurse practitioner license after Hope and is currently planning to focus in the area of labor and delivery or pediatrics. She will use the scholarship award for tuition during the forthcoming 2008-09 school year.
Her involvement in the nursing program at Hope has included membership in the Hope Student Nurses Association, and serving on the Nursing Curriculum Planning and Evaluation Committee. Her activities at the college have also included the student-organized Dance Marathon fund-raiser for Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, the College Chorus and intramurals. She is the daughter of Michael and Janice Sweers of Williamston and a 2006 graduate of Dansville High School.
Cherokee Uniforms is the leader in the design of fashionable scrubs for nurses and other health-care professionals. The company provided a grant for the production of "A Nurse I Am" as a film for nurses and nursing students out of concern over the number of nurses leaving the profession within the first few years of practice.
In addition to Hope, the schools with winners in this year's scholarship program are Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, Calif.; the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA); the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, Md.; Coppin State University in Baltimore, Md.; Pensacola Christian College in Pensacola, Fla.; Davis & Elkins College in Elkins, W.Va.; and the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Coping With an HIV/AIDS Diagnosis
For most people, the hardest part of adjusting to life with HIV isn't the physical issues -- it's the emotional ones. HIV treatment has changed so drastically in recent years that the medical side of HIV has become much easier to tackle in most parts of the world. Newer HIV meds have increasingly few side effects, people on HIV treatment may live just as long as their HIV-negative counterparts, and many people need only take medications once or twice a day to keep HIV in check for many years. Yet for all of the advances in science and medicine, the stigma surrounding HIV persists. For this reason -- and because, let's face it, HIV still is a serious disease to have -- coping with your diagnosis can be areal challenge.
If you're dealing with the emotional aspects of finding out you're HIV positive, here are some important things to keep in mind -- and resources that can help as you adjust to living with HIV.

Plasmid vector for yeast and E. coli - (Mar/22/2012 )
I am looking for a good plasmid vector system to express a human protein of (with N terminal His tag) in both yeast and E. coli. The protein doesnt have much post translational modifications except couple of acetylation in internal lysine residues. I will be synthesizing the gene; hence it doesn't really matter if the vector has His tag in it or not. The gene insert will be 1000 bases approx.
Is there any vector which can be used in both systems? (I doubt it though.) Please suggest me a vector for both systems which worked great for you. I would prefer if they have commonly used antibiotics such as kanamycin, etc. Please let me know the typical yield you get with such system, if you dont mind. I would appreciate your help/suggestion.
Also, do you think acetylation might be signification for protein's activity? The protein's function is hydrolysis.
Clonetech should have some ...e.g. pGBK T7
No comments on yield ...i do not work with yeasts!
Thanks pDNA, for your reply.

University of Kansas
Spring recruits rejuvenate Kansas basketball
It was the first week of April, just days after another agonizing NCAA Tournament loss, and Kansas coach Bill Self was forced to attend the Final Four in Atlanta.
The wounds were still fresh. Self couldn't bring himself to watch the tape of KU's Sweet 16 collapse against Michigan — no need to watch Trey Burke rip out his heart again — and he always hated being at the Final Four without his own players.
This was the destination, the ultimate goal for every Kansas team. And if Self was being honest with himself, there was another reason this trip felt more hollow than usual. He had just watched four seniors play their last game, and freshman Ben McLemore would almost assuredly leave early for the NBA Draft.
If you asked Self about the Jayhawks' prospects for next season, he would tell you how excited he was about his latest five-man recruiting class: A group of highly ranked players, but no guaranteed program-changers. The Jayhawks would be talented, and young, and good. But Self wasn't sure if they'd be in "the game," a nice way of saying that he wasn't sure if the Jayhawks could be Final Four contenders with their current roster.
"We were incomplete," Self says.
Nearly six weeks later, on a Wednesday in May, Self picks up the phone in south Florida. It's a beach day in Miami, and Self has plans to go to the Heat playoff game that night with his son, Tyler. Days earlier, Self had watched his daughter, Lauren, graduate from KU. And this was a moment to recharge the batteries after a spring that couldn't have gone much better.
In a span of six days in May, the Jayhawks added No. 1 overall recruit Andrew Wiggins and Memphis transfer Tarik Black. With the addition of Wiggins, a 6-foot-7 swingman, and Black, a 6-foot-9 banger, the Jayhawks moved from a fringe top-20 squad to a Final Four contender.
But even more than the immediate impact, the addition of Wiggins could have long-term ramifications for a program that has won nine straight Big 12 titles. But to understand the power of Wiggins, you first have to learn how Self and Kansas emerged even stronger after a thudding loss in March.
"I'm not predicting greatness or anything like that," Self says. "But I think we put ourselves in a position, where if things fall right, we can be in the game… again."
Kurtis Townsend was already on the road in West Virginia when his phone started buzzing. It was last October, and Townsend, a Kansas assistant, was on his way to visit a senior guard named Xavier Rathan-Mayes at Huntington Prep in West Virginia.
But on this day, Huntington Prep coach Rob Fulford was calling with a nice surprise.
Andrew Wiggins, the best junior basketball player in America, was re-classifying as a senior at Huntington Prep.
"Would you guys have a scholarship for Andrew next season?" Fulford asked.
A 6-foot-7 native of Thornhill, Ontario, Wiggins had the pedigree of a world-class athlete. NBA guard for a father. Olympic sprinter for a mother. And on the day he decided to join the Class of 2013, Townsend was on campus to remind Wiggins that Kansas could be an option.
"I just happened to be there that day," Townsend says.
Seven months later, after Wiggins surprised college basketball by choosing Kansas on May 14, Townsend still recalls that day. In the past six years, Kansas has won one NCAA title and earned four No. 1 seeds, but Self and his staff have done it largely on the backs of solid recruits that came to Kansas and transformed into stars.
During the same period, Kansas produced just two one-and-done players (Xavier Henry and Josh Selby) and neither has found a comfortable role in the NBA. The perception, Townsend says, was that superstar recruits couldn't flourish in the Kansas system.
"I think Andrew was good for us," Townsend says, "because there's been people out there saying, "Well, Kansas is always good, but they don't get the one-and-dones. They don't get the superstar." Because the ones that we've had, Xavier, Josh Selby, they haven't had stellar (NBA) careers.
"I think Andrew kind of answered that. We can take a kid who is that level of player, and plug him in."
In fact, Wiggins started paying dividends just hours after he signed with Kansas. On the same day, Townsend went to the airport to pick up Black, a 6-foot-9 forward who was hoping to graduate from Memphis early and play his final season at a basketball blue-blood.
By the time Black arrived on campus, the basketball office was still buzzing about Wiggins. Six days later, Black signed on for a year at Kansas.
Self believes Black, who averaged 8.1 points for Memphis last season, can be a vital piece on a young team.
"This kid has a man's body," Self said. "And he's played in big-boy games. And he scored basically 1,000 points at Memphis in three years.
"… This kid has a chance to be a huge impact for us, and I'm looking at him as a guy that will get points and rebounds."
Now comes the next step. Seven of the Jayhawks' eight newcomers are expected on campus the first week of June, with Wiggins the only exception. Self plans to sort through Wiggins' summer schedule this week. It could include a spot on the Canadian team at the U-19 World Championships, which start June 27 in Prague. But Self is being cautious, open to whatever Wiggins wants to do. He points out that Wiggins has spent the last two years away from home at Huntington. Some time back home, he says, might be beneficial.
"When he gets in here, he's gonna have an abundance of expectations and pressure on him, which will put pressure on himself to work so hard. But I don't want to make it where it's an unbelievably long year, either.
"He's gotta be fresh, so we just gotta make sure we handle this right."
Rejuvenated from the spring, Self is already thinking about the future. That includes the continued development of sophomore forward Perry Ellis, and the continued maturity of junior guard Naadir Tharpe. And Self says the Wiggins' signing has motivated his staff to hit another "home run" in the 2014 recruiting class.
From the aftermath of a NCAA Tournament gut-punch, and a mass exodus of talent, Self and Kansas are in the game again.
"The spring couldn't have gone any better," Self says. "Andrew comes with such publicity. It just seems like it gave our program a momentum boost."

ISFJ Personality Type – Protector
Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging type
We are lucky that Protectors make up as much as ten percent the population, because their primary interest is in the safety and security of those they care about – their family, their circle of friends, their students, their patients, their boss, their fellow-workers, or their employees. Protectors have an extraordinary sense of loyalty and responsibility in their makeup, and seem fulfilled in the degree they can shield others from the dirt and dangers of the world. Speculating and experimenting do not intrigue Protectors, who prefer to make do with time-honored and time-tested products and procedures rather than change to new. At work Protectors are seldom happy in situations where the rules are constantly changing, or where long-established ways of doing things are not respected. For their part, Protectors value tradition, both in the culture and in their family. Protectors believe deeply in the stability of social ranking conferred by birth, titles, offices, and credentials. And they cherish family history and enjoy caring for family property, from houses to heirlooms.
Wanting to be of service to others, Protectors find great satisfaction in assisting the downtrodden, and can deal with disability and neediness in others better than any other type. They are not as outgoing and talkative as the Provider Guardians [ESFJs], and their shyness is often misjudged as stiffness, even coldness, when in truth Protectors are warm-hearted and sympathetic, giving happily of themselves to those in need.
Their reserve ought really to be seen as an expression of their sincerity and seriousness of purpose. The most diligent of all the types, Protectors are willing to work long, hard hours quietly doing all the thankless jobs that others manage to avoid. Protectors are quite happy working alone; in fact, in positions of authority they may try to do everything themselves rather than direct others to get the job done. Thoroughness and frugality are also virtues for them. When Protectors undertake a task, they will complete it if humanly possible. They also know better than any other type the value of a dollar, and they abhor the squandering or misuse of money. To save, to put something aside against an unpredictable future, to prepare for emergencies-these are actions near and dear to the Protector's heart. For all these reasons, Protectors are frequently overworked, just as they are frequently misunderstood and undervalued. Their contributions, and also their economies, are often taken for granted, and they rarely get the gratitude they deserve.
Notable Protectors:
- George H.W. Bush
- Jimmy Stewart
- Mother Teresa
- Tsar Nicholas II
- King George VI

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | April 5 2006
[VIDEO] MSNBC: Pianka's
Dr. Pianka: What nobody wants to hear, but everyone needs to know
[VIDEO] UT Scientist Backpedals on News Report
Local Austin News Station Spreads apology piece for Pianka
Professor's "Kill 90% of Population" Comments Echo UN, Elite NGO policies
UT professor criticized over comments about impending pandemic
Top Scientist Advocates Mass Culling 90% Of Human Population
The elite have created a religion of genocide and the nation's universities are the churches for the communication of an environmental jihad that threatens to decimate the human species as we know it.
The furore surrounding the comments of Professor Eric R. Pianka, who told a crowd at Arlington UT that 90% of the world population need to be culled to solve overpopulation, have been characterized on the one hand by an expected outrage but on the other by a sycophantic mainstream media who have collaborated to spin the story and obfuscate the real issues.
Pianka's back-peddling and his whimpering cries of protest that if we don't control population then viruses will (unquestionably parroted by a completely biased local NBC news piece) is again ridiculed by the facts, as outlined by Shawn Carlson, Ph.D. in his excellent article.
"The data stand utterly against this idea. Plagues have run rampant through human populations throughout time. Millions have died. Huge fractions of some populations have been wiped out. But the net death rate has never come close to the fractions that Pianka envisions. Virulent diseases that kill quickly tend to burn themselves out. Natural selection creates less lethal varieties because an organism can't spread if it kills its host before it can propagate. The flu pandemic of 1918 (the influenza virus is championed by Pianka) may have killed 50 million people, but that was only about 5 percent of those infected. Moreover, every year sees medical advancements—screening techniques improve, as do our methods of creating new vaccines and treating illness of all kinds."
The Associated Press article and local TV news pieces focused entirely on Pianka's pleas of innocence and whitewashed or completely omitted what he actually said in his speeches. Pianka claims he is merely trying to warn humanity against coming plagues while he snickers in front of a slide of glowing skulls and carries with him an ebola plush toy. If Pianka wants to warn the world as he claimed in the news interview then why were cameramen at his speech asked to turned their cameras off as Pianka told the audience that the world wasn't ready to hear what he had to say? This is a total contradiction and exposes Pianka for the liar he is but the biased self-proclaimed 'journalists' didn't pick up on it.
The establishment press twisted the report to make Pianka seem like the victim. The real story is the fact that 95% of his peers, fellow scientists, professors and students cheered and applauded his public declaration that ebola, a disease that liquefies the internal organs of its victims in a torturous insufferable manner, should be used to kill 90% of humanity.
Universities are like Jim Jones cults and the religion of genocide is the kool aid. Almost uniformly they brainwash an army of impressionable students with the propaganda of population control and mass death. It is important to emphasize that in all our combined experience and canvassing views from friends and family members this subject crops up again and again. The academic elite are obsessed with population reduction and they have trained hundreds of thousands of followers to embrace the same lust for death.
This is the religion of the global architects and it is their manufactured justification to usurp all our freedoms. If we are stripped even of the right to live what will happen to our property, our freedom of speech, our freedom of movement and our right to bear arms?
This is about corporate criminals creating religious ideology for environmentalist technicians to carry out an environmental jihad.
Meanwhile, the real environmental dangers are ignored.
- The unrestrained use of depleted uranium which is poisoning the skies of the war torn Middle East and then drifting westward to infect our skies.
- How genetically modified foods are dangerous to humans and fundamentally affect the food chain.
- Cross cloning of humans and animals to create hybrid chimeras, many in tax-funded Universities, including the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine, a practice that opens the doors to untold bizarre and freakish developments in cloning with no ethical debate whatsoever as well as deadly viruses and pathogens.
There is a clear crossover between the madcap worlds of ecology and bio-ethics. Princeton University's Peter Singer -- probably the world's most well-known bioethicist, advocates the right of parents to be able to kill their own newborn babies. Singer compares babies to mackerel, writing, "Since neither a newborn infant nor a fish is a person, the wrongness of killing such beings is not as great as the wrongness of killing a person."
Try and imagine the world that Singer is advocating, where parents unhappy with how their baby looks or if it has a minor disability go outside and throw it in the trash as they would food that had passed its sell-by date. Singer is routinely protested in Germany and Austria by family members of Holocaust victims but his speeches in America are usually well received by the academic elite.
Pianka and Singer both owe their allegiance in part to the strata of eugenics, which is defined as the study of hereditary improvement of the human race by controlled selective breeding. Except in this instance Pianka goes a step further, arguing that humans should be sacrificed for the good of mother Earth.
Eugenics was embraced by the Nazis after Adolf Hitler managed to pass a law in 1934 enabling the mass sterilization of anyone the state deemed to be 'feebleminded'. At the same time in the US, 35 states had laws enabling forced sterilization of those considered defective. From the 1920's to the late 1970's, 60,000 to 100,000 people were sterilized across the nation after being termed imbeciles by dubious review panels.
Julian Huxley, the brother of Aldous Huxley and the first director of UNESCO, knew that after the Nazis gave its implementation a negative slant, eugenics had to be re-branded and it became known as 'bio-ethics' and 'transhumanism' and was introduced to the universities.
People like Singer and Pianka are aiding this anti-human movement gain traction again as social Darwinists and Malthusians dominate the halls of academia.
We received an e mail from one of Pianka's followers, Rebecca Calisi, who is a Biology student at Arlington UT.
Betraying the warped and deranged belief system that Calisi has been indoctrinated into, she actually goes a step further and calls for the eradication of not 90% but 100% of humans from planet Earth!
"There is NO DENYING the natural world would be a better place without people - ALL people! Not a selective bunch. Get it straight," rants Calisi.
Of course! There's no denying the fact that wiping out humanity 100% is the sane, rational and reasonable thing to do! The temerity of Calisi to even couch the horror that she is advocating in such sober context is absolutely chilling and sheds light on the cold and calculating mind set of these demons.
"To liken Pianka to Hitler, etc., is the most absurd, ignorant comment anyone could make. He has spent his career trying to PROTECT life," says Calisi.
She is right and we apologize for this error. To liken Pianka to Hitler is being unfair on Hitler because Hitler only said certain people were a disease whereas Pianka says we all are! A closer parallel can be drawn with Charles Manson, as George Ou of ZD Net writes in reference to the Dr. Carlson article,
"After speaking with Dr. Carlson on the phone, Carlson pointed out that Manson who isn't nearly as charismatic as Pianka had his followers killed around 7 people whereas a future "Piankian" would try and kill 5,000,000,000. Dr. Carson also noted that Pianka like Manson technically never advocated anyone's death but that he merely would like to see it happen. The difference between Piankians and Manson's "family" is that the Piankians work in the scientific field with access to potential weapons of mass destruction."
Calisi says that the only people not applauding Pianka at his UT speech were, "moronic creationists, angry that Pianka informed them they are not the "highest" creatures on this planet."
That's strange because unless someone changed the food chain last night it appears that humans are still sitting at the top. The same species that gave us Mozart, Beethoven, the Sistine Chapel, space travel and the Internet.
Calisi even laments that Pianka, a man who once lived in total isolation for 10 years with no human contact, has already come to the understanding that he is ready to sacrifice his own children and grandchildren for the betterment of the planet. This is absolutely sick and yet Calisi relates it as if it's urbane and rational thinking.
This is a clear and present danger to us that outweighs Al-Qaeda, Iran and North Korea combined. Why? Because Dr. Death types across academia and their followers have access to the very weapons of mass destruction that would enable them to enact their 'final solution'. Both UT Arlington and UT Austin have contracts with Sandia National Laboratories which includes research related to "chemical and biological weapons." Openly stating a desire to see 90% of humanity wiped out by means of releasing a bio-weapon and also having access to biological weapons is in our eyes an alarming precedent.
In addition, in 2003 biological weapons watchdogs asked the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) to suspend biodefense funding for the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston due to the Medical Branch's secrecy about its research on biological weapons agents and its refusal to comply with federal biosafety guidelines.
But the federal government isn't interested, preferring instead to use the Patriot Act to harass artists who use harmless bacterial material for exhibitions.
Where is this all leading?
When biological terror reigns down on US cities will Pianka and his ilk, those who openly advocated such a scenario and had the means of implementing it, be subject to investigation? Or will it be blamed on terrorists while everyone is forced into quarantine concentration camps and martial law is declared?
It is on this basis that we are now seriously considering legal action against Pianka and UT. Without divulging our legal strategy, this clear incitement to genocide which a state funded organization is promoting should cease immediately.

Scalextric is the most successful slot car racing set brand, with over 50 years in the business. They have a huge selection to choose from and there really is something for everyone. You could use to buy a complete set, with tracks, cars and controllers and then continue to add to this set with more pieces of tracks and different cars from F1 to the Mini Cooper.
Scalextric came from the Scalex brand of Minimodels Ltd, which was a clockwork powered race car system that first appeared in 1952. The inventor Mr B Freddie Francis first showed the Scalextric Cars at the Harrogate Toy Fair in 1957 and the demand for this popular toy became too much for Minimodels which was sold to Line Bros Ltd in 1958. The Scalextric brand was further developed by converting the metal cars to the plastic mould which we use today, they also changed the track from the original rubber to plastic. When the Line Bros Ltd company collapsed the Scalextric brand was sold off and became part of the famous Hornby Railways.
Here in the Toy Shop at WWSM we stock a full Scalextric range located on the following shelves:
Digital Accessories shelf – everything is becoming digital and Scalextric is too. Choose from a selection of sets and track accessories on this shelf.
Micro Scalextric Sets shelf – these sets are ideal for the younger slot racer and the perfect introduction to the action-packed world of Scalextric. You can choose from a My First Scalextric Set or we have a Disney Cars set too.
Formula One shelf – on this shelf you can choose your favourite car or your favourite driver or even both. There are both new and old models of Formula One cars, from Maclaren, Williams and Jenson Button's Brawn GP Car.
Road, Rally & Touring Cars shelf – think of your favourite brand of car and you will find some great models on this shelf. Mercedes, Jaguar, Ford, BMW to name but a few.
Car Spares shelf – on this shelf you will find a range of spare that provides everything you need to fine tune a Scalextric car to get the maximum performance from it on the track. This range offers a range of gears, motors, compound rubber tyres and aluminium wheels.
Track & Accessories shelf – if you want to extend your course you can choose from a selection of different length, size and curved types of track. Or there is even a range of affordable Track Extension Packs.
Power & Control shelf – on this shelf you can find some different hand controllers and some power transformers. Both of these are very important for you to be able to race!
We hope you enjoy looking at all the Scalextric products we have to offer here in the Toy Shop at WWSM. Select your desired shelf from the left-hand menu.

Seven-time champion Roger Federer put on an evening masterclass after world number one Rafael Nadal laboured his way through to the third round at Wimbledon.
A breezy win over Gilles Muller of Luxembourg under the roof on Centre Court carried Federer through, while Nadal found a way past old foe Lukas Rosol on the same stage after staving off a major scare.
Swiss fourth seed Federer - aiming to eclipse the record of seven open era titles that he shares with Pete Sampras - cruised to a 6-3 7-5 6-3 win over Muller in barely an hour and a half, with the match interrupted when referee Andrew Jarrett decided to close the roof as rain clouds drew near.
"I am happy I made it, because it was a bit of a serving contest, and was tough with the rain delay. I was glad to get the break in the second set. You have to keep working hard," said Federer, who showed no ill effects from a tumble when coming to the net.
Earlier, there had been the threat of another storm for Nadal, who eventually battled back to beat Rosol 4-6 7-6 (8/6) 6-4 6-4 and avenge his defeat by the big-serving Czech two years ago.
The French Open champion dropped the opener and had to save the second set in a tie-break, in which he was 5-3 down, before finding the momentum to eventually end Rosol's brave challenge.
"I needed to find the solution. Finally I did, and that is the most important thing," said the Spaniard, who will tackle Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan in round three.
"I arrived here after winning Roland Garros with less pressure, so I had more confidence.
"I said before the tournament that this year I feel a little bit better physically."
While Federer was able to continue his match under the roof, play on the outside courts was called off just before 8pm as wet weather set in for the night, with more unsettled spells expected over the next couple of days.
On Court Two, former Wimbledon champion Leyton Hewitt was a set down to Poland's Jerzy Janowicz at 7-5 4-4 when the covers came on.
Elsewhere earlier on day four, number eight seed Milos Raonic continued to impress as the Canadian saw off America's Jack Sock 6-3 6-4 6-4 to reach the last 32.
Raonic, though, is keeping his prospects in perspective, despite being many people's dark horse to challenge the top four.
"It might sound a little bit harsh, but I have not too much feeling for it," the 23-year-old said. "I want to do much better than I have to this point and than I have today."
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was made to wait again for his victory over Sam Querrey of America, coming through an epic clash 4-6 7-6 (7/2) 6-7 (4/7) 6-3 14-12 which had been held over from Wednesday, with the deciding set tied at 9-9 overnight.
That match concluded on Court Two, after 19-year-old Australian wild card Nick Kyrgios caused an upset by coming from two sets behind to knock out 13th seed Richard Gasquet, beating the Frenchman 3-6 6-7 (4/7) 6-4 7-5 10-8 after saving nine match points.
"It was an unbelievable match out there. The first time I have been two sets to love down, come back and won. It's an amazing feeling. I am so proud," said Kyrgios, who looks destined to break into the top 100.
Fifth-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka saw off Lu Yen-hsun of Chinese Taipei 7-6 (8-6) 6-3 3-6 7-5.
John Isner, meanwhile, won the second longest men's tie-break in Wimbledon history when he claimed the first-set breaker 19-17 against Jarkko Nieminen, before going on to close out victory over the Finn in straight sets.
The American, the last from his country left in the men's singles, is no stranger to the record books in SW19 - having in 2010 played out an extraordinary 11 hours and five minutes first-round match with Nicolas Mahut, eventually claiming the deciding set 70-68.
Gael Monfils, who was Wimbledon junior champion in 2004, bowed out too as he went down in five sets to 20-year-old Jiri Vesely. The big-serving Czech won 7-6 (7/3) 6-3 6-7 (1/7) 6-7 (7/9) 6-4 in more than three hours on Court 12.
Tenth seed Kei Nishikori of Japan defeated American Denis Kudla 6-3 6-2 6-1, while Spain's Tommy Robredo, seeded 23rd, also moved through to the last 32 after seeing off Adrian Mannarino of France 6-4 6-1 7-6 (7/5).
