Fifty-five boys and 61 girls, aged 5-16 years, took part in a 15-week longitudinal study of stress and upper respiratory infectious illness. Life events, social support, and psychological coping were measured, and hassles and mood were assessed repeatedly throughout the study period. Upper respiratory symptoms were recorded daily, and episodes of upper respiratory infection were verified by clinical examination. Forty-eight verified episodes of infection were recorded from 41 participants (35.3% of the total sample). Life events and social support interacted in predicting the occurrence of infection, whereas hassles interacted with avoidant psychological coping, independently of age, gender, family composition, social class, negative affect, parental perceived stress, parental smoking, or alcohol consumption. The duration of symptomatic episodes was negatively associated with problem-focused coping, and positively related to avoidant coping. Hassle levels were elevated 3 weeks prior to symptom onset. These results indicate that the impact of life stress on vulnerability to infectious illness in children is moderated by psychological coping and social resources, and that different psychosocial factors influence the occurrence and duration of infections.

Elio Martinelli was born in 1921 and went on to study set design at the Institute of Fine Arts in Florence. He later began to focus on interior design and shop fitting, it was here that he started to design his own lighting systems to complete his commercial projects.
Elio founded Martinelli Luce in 1950 and specialised in selling electrical materials for installers.
Thanks to his spirit of innovation, Martinelli started to create a wide portfolio of lamps for interiors, with a greater and greater attention for their use at home.
His creativity allowed him to design and to manufacture lighting systems with a strongly innovative design from a form and technological view.
Elio Martinelli was inspired by nature and geometry and created functional lighting systems manufactured with materials used depending on their characteristics.

Turn with me now sisters and brothers to the Third Book of the Prophet Obama, where we find the text of today's message. Our savior's other two books have given hope to millions, hope indeed for the overturning of the impious and cruel economic regime of those rascally republicans, the world of white hegemony where the "white man's greed rules a world in need" according to the forerunner Jeremiah, who as we have seen, was not worthy to untie the shoes of the One who came after.
Now in the latest revelation, Obama--may he always be praised--spells out explicitly what his tormentor, Joe the Plumber, tried to drag out of him prematurely with that disrespectful interjection about socialism--may he languish eternally over at Pajamas TV! His kingdom was not yet come, so premature speech about what the One would reveal, in the fullness of time, shows even the demonic republican plumbers know him, and are afraid!
From "A New Era of Responsibility: Renewing America's Promise. The President's Budget and Fiscal Preview", or the Third Book Of Obama, we see that not economic growth and vitality, but fairness, is what America needs most. And it is not fair that some should have more than others, in particular, the top 1 per cent. Though these one percenters create most of the wealth, they are keeping too much of it for themselves. This too shall cease, sayeth the Lord Obama:
While middle-class families have been playing by the rules, living up to their responsibilities as neighbors and citizens, those at the commanding heights of our economy have not."
"Prudent investments in education, clean energy, health care and infrastructure were sacrificed for huge tax cuts for the wealthy and well-connected."
"There's nothing wrong with making money, but there is something wrong when we allow the playing field to be tilted so far in the favor of so few. . . . It's a legacy of irresponsibility, and it is our duty to change it."
As some other prophet or other once said, first shall be last and last shall be first. The Lord Obama means to bring heaven to earth by overturning the rule of the rich, taking from the lions and giving to the lambs. Already the undeserving rich around the world have given up 22 trillion in wealth, according to the plan for fairness now underway. And it's only beginning dear ones--TARP II and Son of Stimulus are coming soon. The dawn of fairness and equality is breaking, and soon we shall all be living in the light of the Lightworker!
Let us give thanks dear children, while we await our cut of the spoils. That 13 dollars a week will sure feel good--that, and seeing how the mighty 1 percent are fallen!

Nice podcast, but the shot you took at me late in the program was disingenuous. I didn't JUST advocate that we're going after DERON WILLIAMS. I also said that we now have flexibility to make a move for a Jennings, Gay, Williams, etc. And I had previously expressed a little surprise at how you guys poo poo'd any thought of the Hornets being aggressive THIS offseason in attempt to try to get our big 3 in place for this October. Jennings/Gordon/Davis or Gordon/Gay/Davis or Williams/Gordon/Davis (or some other reasonable addition) is not too far-fetched to ponder over and consider IMO.
Rumors are Rockets could move Kevin Martin to Minny for #18. What about 14 and 18 for 10? Or would you do 16 and 18 for #10?
Good work fellas, you've really been on point in providing lots of content in the build up to the draft.
What do you think about this trade? Since going for the rockets 14 and 16 would be too much and the celtics 21 and 22 too little, what about this? Celtics-14 Rockets-10,22 Hornets-16,21 That means we can go get a Leonard than Teague or go lamb/Marshall and then sully?
16 is too far of a drop for me. I think you have to stay at 10 to see if someone drops. If no one you like drops, then you can trade down but I say for 14 and 21. (2nd rd picks might be in play as well) ..... But I'm not a fan b/c what if you trade down b/c you like marshall zeller lamb and sullinger but they all get picked from 10 to 13? Then youre kinda screwed. In short, too risky. Take the guy you want when you have the chance.
Love the concept, but wonder if 16 and 21 are enough. The problem is the players 10-20 are so evenly ranked (to me) that I can see Marshall and Sullinger both gone before 21, Marshall gone before 14, and Leonard gone before 14. So you are left with Sullinger at 16, which is fine if you really wanted him all along and you think you can get him at 16. But who do you take at 21? Teague is a reach, so you may be left with Quincy Miller and other players who have never come close to living up to their potential. The 5th tier is big step back from the first four tiers, and losing a shot at Marshall (Leonard, Lamb, etc) may be too much to give up to get the bonus 21/22 pick. This is even more true if you can get back into the end of the 1st round some other way to get Teague or some one else.
Honestly, I would pretty much give anything up in a trade besides Gordon and Davis to move up to five and get Kidd-Gilchrist if he's still there. We have Davis, who one day will be able to be the best player on a contender, and Gordon, who when healthy, can be a second best player on a contender. There is no way MKG couldn't be your third option on a finals team. He, like Davis, will be able to immediately impact the defensive end. His rookie year he'll probably be everything Trevor Ariza was, but with more intangibles and drive.
I like it. Also keeps plenty of cap space to sign a solid mid level big and a superstar pg. Or a tyreke evans or james harden to be the 6th man
I believe the Hornets have a high quality starter at SG in Gordon (hopefully), and Skynet will develop into a high quality starting PF. So my choices at 10, assuming we keep it, will come from the following positions PG and C because I don't see an SF worth picking at 10. I see the draft as having four tiers that might apply to the Hornets at 10. The tiers are: 1. Davis 2. Robinson, MKG, Beal 3. Barnes, Drummond, Lillard, Waiters 4. 10+ players. (If any of the players in the first three tiers but Drummond fell to 10, I'd pick him.) The good news is it looks like Detroit at 9 will take Henson, who is a so similar to Skynet I doubt we want him. So we have our choice out of my 4th tier at 10. I'll say upfront Rivers isn't an option for me at 10. To me, he is a player without a position. He can't shoot or score well enough to play SG, and his 0.9 assist/turnover ratio in college says he can't be a PG either. He isn't good at any one thing. So he is a generalist guard with the physical attributes of a tweener guard. In other words everything about Rivers screams not good enough to play PG or SG to me. So for me I want Marshall or Zeller at 10, which is ironic because I prefer Duke and Duke players over UNC and UNC players the overwhelming majority of the time. I'll also take dark horse pick Sullinger at 10. It's easy to guess that Sullinger's "medical red flag" is something new. If we get the 2010-11 version of Sullinger, because his injury isn't permanent, we will all say Dell stole him. [Oh my god, I wrote this while listening and finished typing this paragraph just before you both said your #6 player on your draft board. And I don't think Sullinger has to have surgery!] Now the crazy part. I think we get back into the draft at the end of the 1st round, possibly begining of the 2nd round. Maybe we trade Jack for the pick (if we draft a PG); maybe we buy a pick. My guys to look for there are Miles Plumlee, a C, (I said I like Duke guys) and Jeff Taylor, a SF. Both are athletic Seniors with a good start on an NBA skillset, and Plumlee started on a NCAA championship team. If we could come out of this draft with three 1st rounders like Skynet, Marshall/Lillard, and Plumlee/Taylor, that is three quality guys at three different positions. I would expect them all to be in our top 10 players from Day 1. Skynet a likely high quality starter, Marshall/Lillard a fringe starter, and Plumlee/Taylor a quality 2nd teamer.
What information tells you that Rivers can't score? That seems in direct contrast to everything else I've read/seen. Admittedly in the past I've payed little attention to college basketball so I'm not great at seeing how a player's skills transfer to the NBA. I've also never paid this much attention to the draft since were usually not very high in it. Otherwise, (per usual) I think you're spot on!
Z, I watched Rivers play! He is an inefficient scorer who gets his points by being a volume shooter. The high volume of shots makes up for his inefficient shooting. Even though he often drives close to the rim he has a hard time finishing there. His outside shooting is also weak. I bet you can find numerical analysis of his college season somewhere.
My big board above matches your comments almost perfectly I think :) although I'm not high on plumlee at all.
My quinticential long winded comment: There's been a lot of hype for us to get Marshall but I remember earlier there was a lot of conversation that seems to be forgotten about how much EJ10 needs the ball in his hands to be effective. If Gordon is running the pick and rolls, slashing, and running isos then what kind of point guard do you want, one who can't knock down a shot or one who can catch and shoot? I'm not saying its the worst thing ever, certainly Rondo and Peirce were able to work that same problem out but to me Jack is perfect next to Gordon. I like George Hill there too but I don't think the difference between Hill and Jack is significant enough for the upgrade. Remember Hill and Collison battled over starting rights. With the discussion of drafting a point guard, remember two seasons ago Jack led the second unit but would often play during crunch time as the two next to CP3. He can play the off guard without the ball in his hands. He and Vasquez can play at the same time. I would love to see us trade up Evan Fournier (sp?) or Quincy Miller. In general I hate Free Agents who weren't good until their contract year. Dragic isn't the point guard of the future for any team, he's a great backup. Lowry has the look of the player that will get a fat contract and then do nothing (remember Posey?). Ryan Anderson without Dwight is Channing Frye so good luck with that. I wouldn't kill our cap for contracts that will walk right as we're trying to compete for Noah or Deng. I like both players but the notion that "Cap room is there to be used" is exactly what creates the Okafors, Rashard Lewis', and Amare's of the league. If we've learned anything its that value is important and money needs to be spent scrupulously.
My Big Board for the Hornets: (Not a best available but talent+best fit) 1 A Davis 2 T Robinson 3 M Kidd-Gilchrest 4 H Barnes 5 B Beal 6 D Lillard 7 J Sullinger 8 D Waiters 9 K Marshall 10 T Zeller 11 J Lamb 12 J Henson 13 A Rivers 14 M Leonard 15 R White 16 T Jones ... 46 A Drummond ..... If we dont draft a pg, trade back into the end of the 1st for Marquis Teague!
I'd really like to see us draft Marshall and resign Landry and play fast break basketball all the time with Monty's defense. Oh and Nash is a free agent I'd really like for him to come in and teach Marshall and Vasquez.
Never said Jack is the future I said I like him as a Backup which means he wont start on the playoff team, I said he has leader qualities & is vocal & I wasn't making the argument about who fits better in MIA I was just using Ray as an example of a veteran superstar who will have to take a pay cut to raise his chances to win a ring.
Yes, OKC built through the draft but they had 3 top 5 picks we are not going to get that. Perkins is a leader and a vet on that team he had been to two nba finals with boston. Nash doesn't fit MIA or NYK system.(D'antoni is gone.) Lebron, Wade, and Melo demand the ball too much. Ray allen probably will go to miami, but he is nowhere the same player as Nash. Ray Allen will be James Jones 2.0 in MIA. Ray Allen plays without the ball, Nash controls it. Nash would be perfect fit for Denver/Dallas/Orlando with all their shooters.(Orlando if dwight stays) OKC-Perkins SAS- David Robinson Show me a year when Jack started on a playoff team. Jack is not the future.
Nash knows its late in his career & he may not be in the league much longer & money really doesn't seem to be the main issue for him. if a player says they are willing to play for The Knicks or The Heat they are willing to cut their pay to win now because Im sure they know those teams situation, for example reports say Ray Allen wants to join the Heat now, not because they can offer him the most money, but because he wants the best chance to get a ring & will cut his pay to do so. Nash wont express intrest in a team thats not looking at a title no matter what the pay is. About us building through the draft, it's the first step of a rebuild. OKC built through the draft & it seems they're on the right path & last year only had Fisher(the team was 38-11 when they got him,so it's safe to assume that they where good without him & had the best record in the west)& Mohammad(whom didnt play more than 25min in a game the entire season)as the only players with 10+yrs on the team, also I think Im the only one on this site that likes Jack, I really like him as a backup pg, but he stepped up & played the starter role, I think he's a leader. If you watch their scrimmages & hear him on the court he is very vocal & demanding of his teammates. I dont think it's a "Me first" attitude, we needed a scorer last year with Gordon hurt & Jack had to fill that role when we needed instant scoring & some people look at that as being selfish but at the time he was the best guy for the job & had to do it.
Why not Nash? It wouldn't be his top pick but its better than Phoenix. Lakers/NYK/MIA will not pay enough. I think he ends up in portland, dallas, or pheonix. Schrodinger's Cat you don't know what happens till you open the box. I hate to tell ya'll this but if you plan to build through the draft and get no veterans the team will go south fast. For example, Washington wizards-why Nene/Ariza/Okafor are there good character/leadership, and Sacramento kings will not get better till they find it. I don't doubt Monty but a player talking to a player is going to be more effective than Monty telling everyone. If we do not get leadership on the team basketball purgatory here we come. We need Kaman or Landry back, at least, for a big man vet. Can't find the ropes till someone puts you on them. (I don't consider Jack a leader something about his game screams "me 1st".)
Great podcast, guys. I'm extremely nervous, but in an oddly fun/excited way. I like Marshall at 10, but I think for balance we'd need to sign a scoring big man to put next to Davis (ie, Kaman)...
Change it to...? It is a nice TV. Thomas was on the Pan Am team. They did well and some agreement says 2 players from that team go on the select team. He is one of the two. http://www.katc.com/mobile/news/hornets-lance-thomas-named-to-team-usa-select-team/
I say either draft Marshall at 10 or trade up to #5 and try to get Barnes or MKG as mentioned in the podcast. Rumor has it that the Rockets are after both Sacramento's #5 and Toronto's #8, so we'll have to pounce on that #5 pick if that's something Dell is interested in. Rockets Rumor: Dwight Howard? http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/46492/rockets-set-sights-on-moving-up-in-draft
Hoping Meyers Leonard or Andre Drummond fall to #10......if both are gone there's no problem for me taking Rivers at 10......
Adding to Andrew's comment- Top 5 teams in the league: Bulls-Derek Rose Thunder-Russell Westbrook Spurs-Tony Parker Celtics-Rajon Rondo Heat-Can live w/o one b/c they have 3players that put them over the salary cap
Leonard or Drummond? First of all, have you watched Leonard's game? Jason Smith + 1 inch = Leonard. As far as Drummond goes, do we really want to take another Uconn big man (a la Okafor and Armstrong)? How's that working out for us? Lol. Why not gamble with our second pick? Take a shot. Draft Perry Jones III at 10 and we'll have the versatile SF that we NEED in today's NBA. Guys like Drummond, Leornard or Zeller are one dimensional "safe" picks. Little risk, little reward. With a little work, PJIII could play the 3,4, or 5 (in a pinch). And as for Rivers or Marshall, take a look at the NBA champions for the last decade. Tony Parker is the only big time PG to really make a difference.
Lebron James is a point foward always handling the ball. -2012 Jason Kidd-2011 Rajon Rondo-2008 Tony Parker- 2007,2005,2003 Gary "the Glove" Payton-2006(yea he was old) Chauncey Billups_ Detriot 2004 Lakers used the triangle offense point guard isn't as effective.
I'm with George on this one. I disagree with a lot of what has been said by you two. Leonard and Drummond are both prospects that I don't want to see in a Hornets uniform. But it certainty isn't because they are "safe" prospects. They are boom or bust players. They lack the polish to be top players for the next three years, but they have the athletic abilities that GMs love.
That was my hands comment and I'm pumped that it was in the pod cast, glad some one saw and enjoied it!! :D
Trade: Rockets get: Warriors 7th pick, Jarrett Jack, Dorrell Wright Hornets get: Rockets 16th pick, Kyle Lowry Warriors get: Chandler Parsons, 10th pick -Rockets obviously kinda lose, but if they really wanted to move for someone and nothing else was opening up..
I can see that trade going down. It would get us out of having to amnesty Jack, get us a PG and the player I think we should draft (Perry Jones III) should still be there at 14.
Oh my board: 1) Davis 2) Kidd-Gilchrist 3) Beal 4) Robinson 5) Barnes 6) Drummond 7) Lillard 8) Marshall 9) Waiters 10) Rivers 11) Sullinger 12) Henson 13) T. Zeller 14) Lamb 15) T. Jones
My hope is that we are able to trade 10 for 14 and 16 and draft Leonard and Marshall. Though I would be scared that one of them would get picked early. Either way I can't wait 'til Thursday!
Not that high on Leonard and to be honest I'm not really sure what all the hype is about. Marshall, however, is definitely a player I get excited over. And let me just say that absolutely love the name you're posting with. One of my favorite verses of any song of any genre of all time.
Lol thanks for the props on the name. But yeah, it's not that I am saying Leonard can come in from day 1 and be a good starter but I think if you let him develop with Davis and let Monty teach him, he has all the physical tools to become a great starter. Another thing I love is that I don't hear people bashing his motor which is always huge for Bigs.
Thanks. Basically I went to work today and it loaded. I couldn't play it while working, but it loaded. Then I came home and it still worked. I even refreshed the page after posting and it worked. Can't explain it but I am happy it happened.

When you finish the Jhoto part and you are able to travel to Kanto you get to chose one Kanto starter? If so, I think it should be in the article, if not, then no! ;)--YukitoOoO 18:07, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

If a move has 100% accuracy, like Earthquake, it only hit 99.6% of the time in Generation I. Does it continue to do so in Gen II? Hotmedal 07:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Shiny Pokemon
Um... Wasnt generation 2 the first to have a shiny pokemon to be in the main storyline? (its says so in the trivia section of PMD explorers of time and darkness) --Usyflad10 05:41, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- Quote that trivia: "This is the second game to feature a shiny Pokémon as part of the main storyline, with the first being the Generation II main series." Umm... yup. —darklordtrom 08:28, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Ending in 2001?
I don't understand, the generation did not end with the American release of Pokémon Crystal, it ending when Ruby and Sapphire were released right?--Midnight Blue 01:57, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yes as I understand it the same applies for other Generations as well as is shown below:
- Generation I ended when Pokemon Gold/Silver were released thus starting Generation II
- Generation II ended when Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire were released thus starting Generation III
- Generation III ended when Pokemon Diamond/Pearl were released thus starting Generation IV
- Generation IV will end when Pokemon Black/White are released thus starting Generation V
Therefore one generation ends when a another set of paired games are released, Remakes don't count. Pday2387 10:23, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Prototype Pokemon Names
I was digging around my old website to find some nifty tidbits to add to Bulbapedia, and I found this page: G/S Prototype Names I didn't make any of this up, a lot of it actually came from Bulbagarden and PokeFor back in the day. Some of the interesting names:
- Xatu & Xoqo for Natu & Xatu, respectively
- Trillix for Misdreavus or Sneasel (the name "Misdreavus" is on the list, but given to Sneasel, while Misdreavus is named "Trillix"... Another piece of evidence for "Trillix"
- Duglari for Dunsparce
I wonder if some of this can appear SOMEWHERE, obviously most likely on each Pokemon's page... Whaddya think? - Nick15 06:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
re: English-language release
Wikipedia says Sep 4, everything else says Oct 13, both for Australia, and both before the 15th; either one's right or both are wrong. We get pushed aside for everything as it is... Frugali 00:06, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know where Bulbapedia got the date from, and Wikipedia is not even sourced so who knows. I can't find anything. --HoennMaster 04:45, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Incorrect Trivia?
I was reading this article when I came across this:
"Generation II is the only generation where: Each Pokémon has a different sprite in each game (except for Unown and a few others)."
This doesn't sound right to me. Gen I had different sprites for all of their Pokemon, so Gen II isn't the only gen to do this. In addition, Pokemon Crystal didn't make new sprites for the Pokemon - they picked a sprite from G/S and animated it. So I think this part should be removed. Coronation 01:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- There's also "Generation II is the only generation where the National Pokédex cannot be completed without another generation[...]," which doesn't make sense to me. I'm pretty sure you can't obtain Dialga and Palkia, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Ho-Oh and Lugia, and the Legendary Dogs (among others) in Black/White without obtaining them from a previous generation. Please correct me if I'm wrong. // SzayelAporroGranz 03:59, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- At the first comment in this topic: I think that means that the sprites differed between games: i.e. Silver and Gold had different sprites whereas Red and Blue shared sprites.
- The second point is correct in that the article is incorrect. —darklordtrom
"Two-stage, cat-like evolutionary line"
Should we list out the Pokémon in this category that were introduced in the other generations?
- Generation I introduced Meowth/Persian
- Generation III introduced Skitty/Delcatty
- Generation IV introduced Glameow/Purugly
- Generation V introduced Purrloin/Liepard
It just seems appropriate, especially as readers who aren't aware of this fact might want to know what the other evolutionary lines are. Also, Generation I also points out the fact that a damaging move varying in type was not introduced and lists those that were in later generations, so it'd also improve consistency. Haxorus 03:59, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
You know the same thing is true with fossil pokemon there wasn't two two staged evolution pokemon nor was there any new fossil pokemon,Shouldn't this be notified somewhere in the article?

I did a fair amount of sleeping Fairy - I went to bed at 8.30 and didn't get up until 2 I did excuse myself from work as I was trapped upstairs for a while Couldn't manage the stairs down
So, meant to let you all know what I was up to this weekend but I think I just got caught up with being super busy
We took the Guides (20 of them) to London Saturday for a sleepover. Sounds simple.... well, no trains for most of our journey to London - we were lucky though, we had a spesh bus laid on for us No messing with the great unwashed for us We then dumped our stuff at the venue and split up into 4 groups to play the London game live - we had 6 random destinations to visit and 6 chance cards that had to be opened at certain times that could throw our routes off track! We had to divert at one point and didn't quite manage all our destinations in the allotted time We then had dinner and back to our venue for "sleeping" (hahahaha!) On Sunday we then did "three peaks" - the Emirates Cable car, the Monument (Fire of London), and the Orbit (Olympic Park). There was a ridiculous amount of walking involved, and stairs, and by the end I couldn't walk and climb stairs Had a fab time though, and so did the girls so that's the important thing
Sorry I haven't had a chance to read back..... am taking the excuse that we have a new thread so I am excused
I hope everyone is ok
Get me, up in time for a morning check in
Hope not too much change Dove and Chicky..... I hate change
Hahaha Dove

Happy birthday Kefaroony
I am officially pooped The Brownies had a whale of a time and I did a lot of standing around while they did their bits.... climbing wall, inflatables, various crafts and a silent disco - this one was fun
Hosta, I'd try what Fidget is suggesting in the first instance
Just made it back from the snowdrops!!
Only joking
Am having a bonkers day tomorrow..... my friend who is a Brownie leader had asked me to help her take her group of Brownies to Alexandra Palace tomorrow where they will take part in all kinds of fun activities to celebrate 100 years of the Senior Section (Rangers to those who might have been one - ages from 14/5 to 26). We will be surrounded by all manner of guiding members.... it's going to be mental, and loads of fun I'm being picked up at 7.45 on a Saturday Thank God for Sunday!
Hope we are ok.
Lyn, hope your day hasn't been too bad. Good luck with your Dad.
Wonky, hope you get your lie in/quiet morning..... not sure the weather is going your way I'm afraid

FRIDAY, Aug. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Statins increase the risk of developing diabetes, but only in individuals already at risk of the disease, and the benefits of statins in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and death outweigh the risks, according to a study published in the Aug. 11 issue of The Lancet.
To determine the vascular benefit and diabetes hazard profile of statins, Paul M. Ridker, M.D., from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and colleagues analyzed results from a clinical trial involving 17,603 individuals free of vascular disease or diabetes who had been randomized to treatment with 20 mg rosuvastatin or placebo and followed for up to five years.
The researchers found that only individuals with at least one major risk factor for diabetes had an increased risk of diabetes (28 percent greater). However, these individuals also had a significantly reduced risk of vascular disease and death, although the risk reduction was smaller than for those without major risk factors for diabetes. For those with diabetes risk factors, a total of 134 vascular events or deaths were avoided for every 54 new cases of diabetes diagnosed. For those without diabetes risk factors, a total of 86 vascular events or deaths were avoided with no new cases of diabetes diagnosed.
"For our patients, we hope these data ease concern about risks associated with statin therapy when these drugs are appropriately prescribed for cardiovascular risk reduction as an adjunct to dietary discretion, increased exercise, and smoking cessation," Ridker and colleagues conclude.
Several authors disclosed financial relationships with drug companies, including AstraZeneca, which funded the study.

Sega's online broadcast coverage of their Tokyo Game Show presentations includes nearly every new title set to grace their main stage events: the next games in the Yakuza series for PSP and PlayStation 3, the ambitious and kinetic Vanquish for Xbox 360 and PS3, a new Shiren the Wanderer, and an unannounced game that is almost certain to be Valkyria Chronicles 3 on the PSP.
In order to gain as much exposure as possible, most titles will be given time on stage twice. Demonstrating the Yakuza series' importance to both publisher and public, especially given recent international interest and availability, 2011's zombie-infested Yakuza: Of The End clambers in front of the cameras thrice over.
A session relating to teen popstar game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA 2nd is one of four segments excluded from the webcasts, but will instead appear for ten minutes at a time starting at 10:30, 13:55, and 15:25 Japanese time on the Saturday, and 11:05 and 13:30 on the Sunday.
The times given in the schedule are Japanese Standard Time. Pacific Daylight Time is 16 hours behind, Eastern Daylight Time 13 hours, the UK 8 hours behind, and Central Europe 7 hours. Essentially, west coast Americans will find that most events are within normal waking hours, while viewers in Europe, Africa and the Middle East are better placed to watch afternoon presentations.
Sega will be broadcasting via http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sega-tgs2010 and http://tgs.sega.jp/2010/stream/.

Contractionary Policy Is Still Contractionary
I guess the question is whether this deficit madness will ever end. I'm sure there are spending cuts and tax increases I'd be fine with... in normal times. But we aren't in normal times. We're in a period of high unemployment. Both spending cuts and tax increases are contractionary. Cutting the deficit is contractionary.

Microsoft pledged to match rival Amazon Web Services (AWS) prices on cloud compute and storage services and fired the first shot in what could become a price war by reducing the cost of its virtual machines and cloud services by 21 to 33 percent.
The no-holds-barred pricing move came as Microsoft announced the general availability of its Windows Azure Infrastructure Services platform, a head-to-head competitor to AWS.
Microsoft has been providing the Azure IaaS service in preview mode since June. But, the general availability announcement means businesses can subscribe to the Azure IaaS service and get support and service-level agreements (SLAs) of 99.95 percent uptime.
Microsoft partners that have been working with the cloud infrastructure services during its lengthy trial period say the move will help them offer customers lower-cost cloud application and development/testing services that promise higher reliability and uptime than on-premise IT.

Everyone's Favorite Serial Killer
If we've learned anything from Miami native Jeff Lindsay's first three Dexter Morgan books and the Showtime series they spawned, it's that compulsive murderers can be nice people too. The title character has proven himself to be a loving boyfriend and husband, model father, and topnotch blood spatter analyst for the Miami-Dade Police Department. Sure, there's that thing about him ritualistically chopping up hundreds of human bodies. But, hey, nobody's perfect.
This Tuesday, the fourth novel in Lindsay's saga, Dexter by Design, will arrive fresh as a new kill at Books & Books for a reading and signing by the author. This time around, Dexter has just returned with wife Rita from a honeymoon in Paris, and he can't wait to get back to family fun, work, and a little bit of dismemberment.

UnNews ATBF Column - Do not feature this article!
I know you want to, but just don't. There's no point to it. It's a waste of bits, a pathetic attempt by the author to garner praise and adulation for his questionable "talent" as a writer. You'll only encourage him to write more, and if there's one thing we don't need around Uncyclopedia, it's any more of that.
Send a message to this dick. Tell him his idea of humor is slightly more evolved than belch language. Oh, sure, he throws in the occasional thesaurus-derived phrase in to make us think, "oh isn't he just so erudite!". Don't fall for any of it.

We Were Once Together, But I Still Miss You
It was our first anniversary, he written me an amazing poem.I was flattered to be with such an amazing guy, i wished to spend my entire life with him.
Well I was wrong, one week after our annie he brokeup with me.
No reason did he mention, i was left heart broken i was crushed from the inside, since then i believed that it was my fault it was something i had done wrong.
Well this depression had come because i'd been REJECTED, first time in my life someone had broken up with me, someone i loved so sincerely someone i cared so much about.
I later foun out that he had tried getting back with the girl he dated before me. Unlucky that girl was and still is my classmate.
For the next few months i spent in depression. I ate ice cream. I agree it sounds stupid but thats what i did.
One Valentines day i cried and ate ice-cream remembering the times we had together and looking at all the happy couples holding hands, staring in each others eyes, WHY COULDNT MY STORY BE LIKE THIS?
He did get back to me and ask me out.
I being so naive said yes.
He lied to me a couple of times it later became so frustating that we broke up again.
We met each other again.
And realised the big blunder we had made in our lifes.
Things were about to take a U-Turn.
We went back to the time.
A 2years back.
When i dint know that guy and he dint know me.
i do still miss him.
and have to admit
I love him...
i pray to God each day that i want to get married to him someday...

They had already been attacked and were receiving a lot of information suggesting that the safety situation would deteriorate further. Given the limitations on their ability to work, and the likelihood that they would be attacked again, we agreed with them it would be wise to pull back.

Plastic surgery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plastic surgery is a surgery that is done to change the way a person's body looks or works.[1] Some plastic surgeries can change both. Work can be done on someone's bones, cartilage, muscles, fat, and skin.[2]
The two most common forms of Plastic Surgery are Reconstruction (fixing body parts that have been damaged) and Cosmetic (changing size shape or color of body parts without fixing damage). An example of reconstructive plastic surgery is fixing a part of the body that has been burned. An example of cosmetic plastic surgery is a surgery called a "Face-Lift" (pulling the skin of the face tight so that someone looks younger).

Teleflex buys Semprus BioSciences
Teleflex Inc., a Pennsylvania medical device company, said Monday that it has bought Semprus BioSciences, a Cambridge spin-out from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Under the agreement, Teleflex said it has made an upfront payment of $30 million. Teleflex added that it may be required to make certain additional payments based upon the achievement of certain regulatory and revenue milestones over the next several years.
According to its website, Semprus is focused on reducing the health complications associated with medical devices such as infection, blood clots, improper healing, and cell overgrowth.
As a result of the transaction, Teleflex is acquiring Semprus' Sustain technology; Sustain is a long-lasting, covalently bonded, non-leaching polymer that is designed to reduce the attachment of platelets and blood proteins at the surface of medical devices, Teleflex said in a press release.
In a statement, Benson Smith, Teleflex's chairman, president, and chief executive said, "We believe Semprus' novel technology provides distinct advantages over other surface and coating technologies currently on the market with its dual-functionality, ability to work in blood products, and long-term duration."
Semprus was launched by David Lucchino and Christopher Loose. As graduate students at MIT in 2006, Lucchino and Loose developed a business plan that took first place in the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition.
In December 2010, Semprus BioSciences completed an $18 million Series B financing round co-led by SR One, the corporate venture capital arm of GlaxoSmithKline, and Foundation Medical Partners, a national health care venture capital investment firm with a strategic relationship with Cleveland Clinic, Semprus says on its website.
Leerink Swann, a Boston-based investment bank focused on health care, served as sole advisor to Semprus on this transaction.

Drummer Dan Skum was recruited in 2001, while Pegadeth joined on second guitar in 2002. In September 2008, the band released a 12 song CD, Crucified For Our Beliefs. In 2011, co-founding bassist Ugly Lenny quit the band, to sing and play guitar for a new self-named quartet.

Apple chairman Steve Jobs just may have found the magic formula for getting people to pay for songs they download. Apple's new iTunes Music Store is the first paid music service to eliminate monthly fees and let people burn songs to an unlimited number of CDs. You can even copy songs to the iPod portable music player. In the first 18 hours after the Music Store went live on April 28, buyers paid for an estimated 275,000 songs (for 99¢ a track or about $10 an album) according to Billboard magazine's daily news service.

Create an account now!Grand Rapids is an awesome location for a college student! Downtown Grand Rapids is beautiful, and offers a wide variety of events every weekend! Grand Rapids is also home to Detroit's minor league baseball, basketball and hockey teams! Games are cheap and extremely fun! Grand Rapids is also very well known for their brews!
Read Morethere's a lot of student life on campus, and off campus there is a lot to do as well. Grand Rapids is known for its lively events!
Read MoreGrand Rapids is FULL of stuff to do, especially if you have the money to do it. But if you're the typical broke college kid, then your budget will eliminate a lot of the local attractions. Fredrick Meijer Gardens is literally right across the street and for just a couple bucks you can get in and see all the beautiful exhibits. If you have a car on campus or know someone who does, you can always drive to Krispy Kreme for free donuts (when the hot-light is on) and go window shopping at the mall or thrift-store shopping for fun DIY projects to decorate your room. If you don't have a car or money then you can always have a movie night with your roommate(s). Staying in or going out, if you want to have fun you can find a way.
Read MoreThe dorm you stay in always have events going on and you can join others if it is possible.
Read MoreMost if the student events go on during the week, however Cornerstone is right across from Mejier Gardens. There is also a lot to do downtown, especially Artprize during the fall.
Read MoreGoing to Chapel, Evensong and also taking a ride down town it's all just awesome
Read MoreThe school is less than 10 minutes away from downtown Grand Rapids, which means the possibilities are endless! Great theatre, lots of great coffee shops and restaurants, outdoor iceskating in the winter, a new comic books store, tons of city-wide special events, ArtPrize in the fall, and the Grand Rapids Art Museum are some of the great options.
Read MoreHang out with friends Longboard Frisbee Golf Billards etc.
Read MoreCornerstone is definitely in a good location! There is so much to do in Grand Rapids! In the fall there is Art Prize downtown where you can see unique art all around downtown! We also have a great mall, tons of movie theaters and the Devos place which has tons of expos and things going on every week! Grand Rapids have great restaurants and its just a busy, fun city!
Read MoreI am impressed by how Cornerstone often has stuff going on for students to do on the weekends. On campus, there are sports, along with intramurals, different clubs to join, and events throughout the year. Off campus is even better, there is a ton to do in Grand Rapids! There are restaurants everywhere (any chain you can think of on top of many other unique ones), a movie theater 5 minutes away, a mall 10 minutes away. Also, Cornerstone is only a short drive from downtown GR, where there is a lot more to do. (Artprize in the fall, swing dancing on Tuesday nights, concerts, etc.) There are always fun things to do if you are willing to find them.

The melonworm moth has a brown head and a white-tipped abdomen with bushy hair-like scales. Its white wings have a narrow dark band around the margin and span up to 43 mm.
Egg - Deposited singly or in small clusters on the foliage, the white eggs gradually turn dull yellow before hatching. Variable in shape, each egg is about 0.5 mm in diameter.
Larva - About 1.5 mm long, the newly hatched pickleworm larva is almost colorless except for slightly darker jaws and a black spot on each side of the head. Third and fourth instar larvae are about 6 to 12 mm long and pale yellow with dark spots, each spot containing a large bristle. The dark-headed fifth instar larva has a yellow-green body with no spots and may be 25 to 30 mm long.
The slender, greenish melonworm larva has two thin white stripes down its back in all but its first and last instars. It is 25 to 30 mm long when fully grown.
Pupa - Enclosed in a thin silken cocoon, the white pupa turns reddish-brown soon after forming. Pupae are about 16 mm long.
Host Plants - These two caterpillars infest only cucurbits. Though the pickleworm prefers summer squash, it may severely damage cucumber and cantaloupe also. Watermelon, muskmelon, winter squash, pumpkin, and gourd are rarely damaged by this pest. The melonworm prefers foliage of muskmelon, squash, cucumber, and pumpkin. It very rarely attacks watermelon.
Damage - Unlike the melonworm which is primarily a foliage feeder, the pickleworm causes important economic damage to fruit. Young pickleworms usually feed for a time among small leaves at the growing tips of vines or within blossoms. A favorite place is the large staminate flower of squash where larvae hide under the ring of stamens at the base of flowers.
When about half grown, pickleworms normally bore into sides of fruits and continue to feed there causing internal damage and producing soft excrement. Both young and old fruits are attacked, but they prefer young fruits before the rind has hardened. Pickleworms make holes in the rind. After the rind has been punctured, the fruit soon rots, or, in the case of cantaloupes, becomes "sour." As the infestation increases, young fruits and flowers are damaged. Growing vines sometimes become riddles with holes and cease to grow.
Life History - Pickleworm moths migrate northward from Florida in the spring. They usually appear in the Raleigh area by early July. Eggs are deposited singly or in small clusters on hairy surfaces of plants. Approximately 3 days later young pickleworms emerge. After feeding for two weeks ore more larvae spin thin cocoons within rolled leaves and pupate. Five to 7 days later, a new generation of moths emerges. In North Carolina, pickleworms complete two full generations and a partial third, if food is available and there is no early frost. The life cycle of melonworms is similar.
Insecticide applications should begin immediately when pickleworms or their damage appear. A few plants of a susceptible squash variety would help detect the first appearance of pickleworms, especially by the presence of insects in flowers. Make applications at weekly intervals after picking fruit and never just before. Apply in later afternoon to minimize bee kills. For recommended insecticides and rates, consult the current North Carolina Agricultural Chemicals Manual.

I'm enjoying mixing up artists in this series. My favorite of all is the meet-up of El Anatsui and Renoir, #225. Artists used in this series are Yayoi Kusama of dot fame, El Anatsui, Renoir, Joan Mitchell, Kandinsky, Schwitters, and some artist whose names I forgot to note before cutting up their paintings. OOps, sorry.

Well, I've been busy with two things - my upcoming Tiny Town exhibit, and working on getting my honey a functional website. I still have a few things to do for my exhibit, and some tweaks on the website, but in general, I'm feeling pretty good about both. Here's the tiny show card that I made to handout to people. It's the size of a business card.
Here's a framed piece that will be shown in the small gallery space that I'm exhibiting in, that shows the postcard that I use for Tiny Town (at the top,) an altered card (in the middle) and a copy of the reverse of that card. When the exhibit ends, that piece will be un-framed and the card mailed out. The remaining unaltered card will be made into the last of Tiny Town. I might send it to the Utrillo Museum in Sannois, France. What do you think? Should I do that?

Navigating within a Document
Moving the blinking insertion point within a document window enables you to insert text in a specific place. As required by the Golden Rule (page 48), you should use voice commands to move the insertion point. There are a number of commands you can use in Dictation mode to get the job done (Table 4.2):
- Go To and Move To commands move the insertion point to the beginning or end of the document.
- Move commands move the insertion point a specified number of words, from 1 to 99.
- Insert commands move the insertion point before or after a specific word or phrase.
- Arrow commands move the insertion point right, left, up, or down one character or line at a time. (These commands work in Dictation and Command modes.)
Table 4.2. Navigation Commands
To move the insertion point here: |
Say this: |
The beginning of the document |
The end of the document |
The number of words backward that you specify |
The number of words forward that you specify |
Before a specific word |
After a specific word |
Before a specific phrase |
After a specific phrase |
One character right |
One character left |
One line up |
One line down |
To move the insertion point:
In Dictation mode, say the appropriate command (Table 4.2). The insertion point moves accordingly:
- When you move to a location after a word or phrase, the insertion point appears right after that word or the last word in the phrase .
- When you move to a location before a word or phrase, the insertion point appears right before the space preceding that word or the first word in the phrase —unless there is no space before it.

You mean "blowed up"
- Emmitt Smith

Cause we believe this, too, shall pass. Like when Sanchez fumbled into an ***.
With how Colin Kaepernick and Kirk Cousins played today for their respective teams I have a feeling either Alex Smith or Cousins could be legitimate targets for us to replace Sanchez as our guy next year
There aren't many options out there in FA unless we think somebody like Matt Flynn can be the guy to lead us back to the playoffs
After watching the Lions/Packers game again, I retract my earlier statement that Flynn has a shot at being a legitimately good QB. The incompletions he threw weren't just incompletions, they were abortions. I think your best case scenario with Flynn is like an 80-85 QB rating guy.
I believe it will be Sanchez. Unfortunately
I can't wait for the day we trade or release Sanchez
Believe you guys will go with Mike Vick

This book examines interracial intimacy in the beginning of the twenty-first century, an era rife with racial contradictions in which interracial relationships are increasingly seen as forward-thinking symbols of racial progress, even as old stereotypes about illicit eroticism endure. With extensive qualitative research, this book examines the racial dynamics of everyday life for lesbian, gay, and heterosexual Black/White couples. It disputes the notion that interracial partners are enlightened subjects who have somehow managed to "get beyond" race. Instead, for many partners interracial intim ... More

Tomorrow's Tech Today
Supercritical Technology: The Power of 21st Century Clean Coal
Click on a number to learn about the technology behind each process.
Process 1: Boiler & Nitrogen Oxide Control
Supercritical power plants are highly efficient, creating more energy per ton of coal used. Within the boiler, low-NOx burners impede the formation of NOx by lowering the temperature of the flame to control the way coal combusts.
Process 2: Turbine & Generator
Turbines consist of fan-type blades attached to a shaft that are rotated by steam from the boiler, converting the kinetic energy of the steam into mechanical energy that is distributed over the grid.
Process 3: Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
An SCR further controls NOx emissions by injecting product into the air stream as it passes over a catalyst, causing the NOx to be converted to nitrogen and water. The SCR also assists with mercury control.
Process 4: Dry Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)
The dry ESP removes virtually all particulates from the air stream in addition to some mercury. The dry ESP uses electrodes to place an electric charge on the particles, which are captured on an oppositely charged plate. The particles are then shaken from the plates and collected.
Process 5: Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Scrubber
SO2 is dramatically reduced by "scrubbers," which inject a limestone and water mixture into the air stream, where it reacts to capture or "scrub" the SO2. Scrubbers also help control mercury.
Process 6: Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)
The air stream passes through the scrubber into a wet ESP, which will remove fine particulates and other constituents. Wet ESPs use multiple high-voltage fields to attract the particles to an electrode, which is then washed with water to capture the constituents, including some mercury.
Process 7: Cooling Tower
Condensed steam from the generators is cooled through a high-efficiency water evaporation system and recycled back to the plant for reuse. Water vapor is emitted from the cooling towers during this process.

Here you will find jobs that employers want to advertise to MSC Southeast students and alumni within the Winona and Red Wing surrounding areas. Job openings are categorized by academic area.
A recent article in USA Today speculates that in today's economy a two-year degree might be more valuable than a four-year degree. The article states that the trends indicate some of the mid skill jobs that disappeared during the recession are coming back and might signal a more lasting growth in areas such as Mid-level managers and medical records specialist, just to name a few. Shannon Schell, Director of Recruitment at Southeast Technical explains that two year colleges are smart choices for students today saying, "They can get in, get an education, and start on their career path many times in two years or less depending on the program. Students are also able to take their education on to a 4-year school, complete a bachelor's degree, and finish with less debt."
The bright outlook in a variety of technical level careers means that students beginning an associate degree spring semester 2013, for example, could start earning associate degree salaries as early as 2014. The U.S. Census Bureau affirms that associate degree holders earn an average of $400,000 more in a lifetime than high school graduates. CareerBuilder.com reports that some of the associate programs with the hottest career prospects today include Accounting, Nursing, Information Technology, Applied Science, Paralegal Studies, Medical Specialties, and Electrical Engineer. In addition, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS)reports that those with associate degrees earn an average of 17 percent more than someone with a high school education and 41 percent more than someone with less than an a high school education. It also reports that the unemployment rate of associate degree holders is markedly lower than the national average.
Studies show that there are a number of associate degrees that will allow their holder to earn high wages with little or no on-the-job training or experience. The BLS is also predicting that healthcare will be among the fastest growing industries this decade. It is projecting over 1.2 million Registered Nurse job openings this decade. Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technicians and Radiologic Technologist and Technicians also made the list.
By 2018 eighty-five percent of new jobs in Minnesota will require some post-secondary education. More than half of these will require a two year degree or less. Schell conveys, "Two year colleges have great relationships with the business community and are able to provide the education and skills that employers are looking for today." Just a few of the initiatives that the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System have put into place are to align academic programs to turn out the right numbers of graduates in the right professions, to ensure that students are learning on top of the line equipment and technology that they will encounter in the real world and provide more hands on experience to students as they prepare for their futures.

November 2007, Getting Started With Interim Office Space
November 30, 2005
I have received quite a bit of email with requests to document as much as I feel comfortable the progress made on opening the new search firm in November of 2007 and what I am doing between now and then. There is also interest on the recent office space search, phone set up, etc. and also when it happens again next year. Well if readers find it interesting I can do that although I am not sure how exciting this is going to be. So I put my wealth of marketing and PR knowledge to work and came up with the subject line and category for the blog, November 2007. Can you tell I spent a lot of time on it? Office space There was only one stipulation I had when I started looking at office space, a 1-year lease. How else can I open the new firm and have space for it next year if I still have a lease somewhere else? I preferred a space in/near the Warehouse District or in/near the University of Minnesota. I set off on three different paths. The first scenario, a sub-lease or sharing office space. That is what I had been doing before with a friend of a friend from college. They had a large space and had 350+ sq. ft. they were not using. The thing with sharing office space is you have to feel comfortable with the other people and that you and they feel secure in the literal sense. The situation I had before with office sharing was perfect and I was hoping for something similar this time. It also saves on costs like a fax machine, Internet connection, and general expenses. I sent an email to friends and to the Warehouse District Business Association but did not find anything with right amount of space at the right time. The second scenario, executive suite space. Being able to write one check to one person had great appeal to me. Combing office space, phone, fax, parking, Internet and other amenities is a great idea when you are doing office space for one. There are many such spaces available in the Warehouse District and near downtown. I settled on one option, Union Plaza OffiCenter located at 333 Washington Avenue North Suite 300. Sue Ribe is the contact person and she can be reached via email, email@example.com. The only draw back is if you do not need all of the extra amenities. I am a Headhunter and so I need basic things like a phone with caller ID, high-speed Internet connection, infrequent access to a fax machine, and a refrigerator for caffeine and to store leftovers from lunch. They have a great location, the staff is top notch, professional setting, 1-year lease, and space size that is good for what I need. The issue, it is more than I need. They just provide more services than I would use and of course with that come a bit of a higher cost. Don't get me wrong, I strongly recommend this location for anyone who is looking for this type of service. The third scenario, simple low cost space. There were not many options in the Warehouse District so I took my search to the area around the University of Minnesota. The area is close enough to home and helps me save time to get to my volunteer activities on campus. The area had quite a few options. The best situation and the one I decided upon is the University Technology Enterprise Center (UTEC) in Dinkytown. For those reading not familiar with Minneapolis or the U of M area, Dinkytown is the business area on the north side of campus. The UTEC building is home to many start-up companies and non-profits. They have offer many support services like the executive suite programs like phone/fax, Internet, copying, etc but they offer it a la carte or you can take care of it on your own. I went for it on my own. UTEC is the former Marshall High School so the building is not a traditional office building but is very functional. Parking is convenient with 24-hour access. Doug Walker is the contact person at UTEC and can be reached via email, email@example.com. After 60 days I still have many things in boxes. I decided that if I needed things I would find them. I figure after four months or so if I had not needed some of this stuff that I can start tossing it out and/or recycling.

First Baseball of the Season - C
Our oldest, C had his first baseball game of the season! By the time we were done with the game, let's say it wasn't exactly a good evening for him. :( They lost 8-1, but the point is that they did their best! That is what counts!!
Funky Clouds
I was outside cleaning up the yard and I noticed the cloud had a funky shape to it. It was just rolling.. So I went in and grabbed the camera and took those two.
