John recognized that the body swell Jupiter is not easy. Breket that have kept the original and some are strengthened, especially the front and back of the body must be calculated so that the scooter can go big.
After that, the body construction grip front nose dimensions changed because Next-G is sharp and wide. How to apply also to time use the back. Dipapas order and re-designed according to the length and width dimensions of the middle and back.
Not to connect with the right angle plate so that the burden of a new tail can be arrested. Change how the body enggak refer to Next-G. To note, that the transmission system been tomy. When the engine start, automatic cash teeth into one. Unfortunately, when asked to kru's X-16 tomy and nothing can explain how to operate the gear shift Next-G.

Some wonderful music news I just found out.
Everyone's curious when the songs from episode 10 would be released.
The answer is March 25th, 2009, since it'll be a special CD with the Limited Edition release of volume 5.
I can't wait to own Takako's Junai Generation. Among others.

Yes, the ending song is amazing. I ordered it from cdjapan and am waiting for it to arrive. At work, I listen to it on YouTube, although it is probably posted there illegaly. At least I have already paid for mine!
The ending song is really based on real Shinto prayers, according to this article I read. It certainly feels that way when I listen to it, like it is a real spiritual song.
I feel that something is missing in the episodes where the ending song is not there. Between the opening and ending songs, we get both sides of Nagi and the whole series. It has a "crazy" side and a "shrine maiden" side, and it is not really complete without both of them. (Although it goes a bit randomly from one to the other and back, at least in this first season.) Between them, the songs bring back the atmosphere of the whole show. That is how I feel.

Funny how no one mentions anything so long after the soundtrack has been released.
Pretty much good old Kousaki this time as well, the unassuming, melodic tracks in the soundtrack such as Hajimari, and Hidamari are my favourites.
So Yamamoto cried when he first sampled the tracks...

Damn, Daitetsu's singing is good. Takako's awesome, but in an entirely different context.
Sawashiro Miyuki turns on her full prowess after holding back in the series, way better!
And there's the obligatory Shirigeya, Shirigeya... stuck in my head...

I initially thought it's just a rip of what they sang in the anime, but it doesn't seem that way. I only bothered about Shirigeya at first.
Jin's singing here is definitely better. Still, a bit disappointed it's not full-song length.
EDIT: Jin's song is my fav in the list now.

Was there a full version of Takako's karaoke song? I don't have time to search for it..
For some strange reason, even though there was a karaoke episode in the anime yet there were no mentioning of there being image songs for this series.

I'm actually fairly cool on the Character Karaoke CD since the music without the characters takes away from the humor. Still, you gotta love Daitetsu's track for sheer awesomeness as well as Nagi and Takako's tracks which retain their sense of fun and hilarity.
Not exactly an album I'll be coming back to over and over.

A lot of useful safety information has been written up here.
Information and training
See Heather's very complete explanation of all the safety training you need to do. The only adjustments for the Knight lab are that you should read the CSAIL chemical hygiene plan (not the Biology one) and you should do the Knight lab specific chemical training. Both of these are linked below.
General safety resources
Much of the labs safety references including MSDS's are kept on the short bookshelves in the hallway between 32-311 and 32-321.
CSAIL Chemical Hygiene Plan
The CSAIL Chemical Hygiene Plan is available online at CSAIL CHP and also in the hallway between 32-311 and 32-321. To make changes to the document, contact Austin Che.
Once you've read this document, sign the compliance form posted on the bulletin board outside 32-306.
Lab chemical training
If you've never had lab specific chemical training before, have Tom or Reshma take you through it. For renewal training (done on a yearly basis), you can just read through the lab specific chemical training linked below. If you have any questions or want to suggest modifications, talk to Reshma.
Lab specific chemical training <--Read and familiarize yourself with this.
(Template from Kathleen Gilbert, EHS, x3-8409. Modified and extended by Reshma.)
Once you've completed this training, sign the compliance form posted on the bulletin board outside 32-306.
Chemical storage
Acetic acid and other organic acids
From Kathleen Gilbert, EHS, x3-8409
Acetic acid is tricky because it is an organic acid that is ignitable and it is more compatible with other organic flammables than with inorganic acids. Acetic acid can be stored with the flammables in a flammable cabinet without a secondary container. If Acetic acid is stored with inorganic acids, it should be in a separate secondary container since it is incompatible with inorganic acids. Trifluoracetic acid is also an organic acid so the same rules apply as with acetic acid.
You do not need the acids stored in a closed [secondary] container. A gray bin is fine.
Equipment validation testing
- Autoclave validation
- Run the eye washes and showers weekly to check that they are working.
- Inspect the satellite accumulation areas for hazardous waste.
Waste disposal
Some brief instructions on how to properly dispose of waste in the lab.

Please be aware that the purpose of this page is to provide information on some of the most relevant Archives holdings relating to this often-asked question. Because of staff and time limitations, the BGC archivists can spend no more than a half-hour helping an individual researcher; we have to focus our efforts on gathering the material and making it available. In order to find all the materials in the Archives on this particular topic, you will need to personally go through the guides to the various Archives collections available at this Web site and in the Archives Reading Room in the Billy Graham Center building in Wheaton, Illinois. If your request will take longer than the half hour we can provide, you will either need to come to the Archives yourself to do the necessary research in our collections, arrange for someone to come and do the research for you, or pay to use the Archives' research services.
You can also do further independent searching of the online database to explore what the Archives has on a wide variety of subjects. You will find only a very small sampling of the Archives actual documents on this Web site. Most of our Web pages only describe what is at the Archives in Wheaton. In most cases you must visit the Archives to use our collections, unless a collection (or portion of it) is available through inter-library loan or as a short-term loan for a fee. You may also find it helpful to visit Wheaton College's online catalog to its libraries and archives (including the Billy Graham Center Archives).

Putting a Stamp on Good Causes
Would you pay more for a postage stamp if the extra money went to support a cause you consider important? Many people would, and do. It's the idea behind semipostal stamps. You may be familiar with the Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamp, but might not know about its history or the semipostal stamp concept.

I was amongst the tens of thousands of people affected and this is my story.
Let's start by spelling out some objective truths: 1) Severe weather is nobody's fault, airlines included; 2) Whatever the quirk of fate, Easyjet was particularly badly affected; 3) Airline passengers' consumer rights are incredibly vague and open to interpretation; 4) The expressions 'no frills airlines' and 'customer service' cannot sit together in the same sentence.
So here's what happened. The night before flying I was informed by email that my cheap £30-worth Easyjet flight had been cancelled. Amidst a flurry of "we are sorry for any inconvenience", I was also offered the chance of a refund (which is in line with EU Regulation 261/2004, see here).
Meanwhile, I swiftly went on to book an alternative route with another carrier which, through a combination of last minute-booking and high season, ended up costing me £168.
So far so good. However, here's where complications started. Go on the Easyjet website and see for yourself. A customer-based business with a visible contact page within reach? You've got to be joking, you pedantic customer.
And yet, the British Airways website is only two clicks away from giving out an email and phone number and, hear hear, even the kings of no-frills at Ryanair.com seem to have the words "Contact Customer Services" visible straightaway on the home page.
If you've chosen Easyjet, however, the ordeal has just begun.
In fairness, their home page does sport the word 'Help', albeit in tiny writing, at the top. Fine, you think.
When you click on it, you're presented with a list of 33 "items" ranging from "Add speedy boarding" to "Booking ski accomodation". No mention of refunds or cancellations - you'd have thought that after three weeks of solid travel disruption for thousands, the two items would be amongst Easyjet's top priorities.
The 33rd item on the list, however, reads "Our FAQ and contact details". With a sigh of relief, the customer can click on it. However, still we're nowhere near the end. A page appears with a massive header that says "Check the status of your query" (which, it turns out, you can only do if you've opened an "EasyJet account" - more of which later). Below follow nine options. Still none of them mention the words refund or cancellation.
When the puzzled customer scrolls down, he's presented with "236 answers available", in smaller fonts, divided up into 24 separate pages. Luckily, questions related to cancellations or refund now appear in the first lot, because until four days ago, to spot the word "cancelled" or "refund" you'd have to scour page after page until striking lucky.
Anyway, when you finally click on "What can I do when my flight was cancelled, what are my options?" you are then presented with two options: free rebooking or refund.
When you select "please click here" next to "refund", you are taken to a drop down box. You enter your email address, stick your flight details and booking reference in and then you are also kindly presented with a list of additional expenses - in particular, "alternative carrier" or "overnight accomodation" that can be reimbursed. It may sound promising but, like a certain woman once said: "You ain't seen nothing yet".
After typing in the details, you can attach a receipt (i.e. ticket for alternative flight) and Easyjet assures you that your query will be dealt with as soon as possible.
Call me an ageist pig, but it's hard to imagine some people of a certain age, like my parents, being able to navigate such a torturous online maze.
Surely though, a company as prestigious as Easyjet will cut you some slack with easy access to a telephone number, right?
Well, try and find out for yourself. Going back to the above mentioned FAQ page with "236 answers available", you can either scavenge through them all or try the keyword search. When I typed in "telephone", I was presented with options leading up to this page.
"What is your telephone number?", it reads. Except that there are nine options that don't include a related answer. You still have to scroll down. And down. Where it finally lists the opening hours of Easyjet's "Customer Experience Team" and below a list of countries to pick from.
Once you click on the country of choice, you are finally informed of a number. Incidentally, the prices range from 10p a minute in the UK to a piss-taking 1.03€ a minute in Germany!
If you do call, you are immediately informed that the queues are long and waiting time can approach half an hour. I guess that would put off quite a few people. If you're phoning from Germany, just waiting for your turn can cost you more than the actual flight.
Anyway. A couple of weeks after my first enquiry, Easyjet replied with an automated email. Signed by one "Nina Honarmand, Customer Experience Champion" (seriously), the message announced the reimbusement of my cancelled flight within 5-10 days but also informed me that my claim for the alternative flight could not be processed as my attachments were not in PDF, JPEG or BMP formats.
So I immediately repeated the whole process making sure that I'd attach my receipts in JPEG format.
Three days later, the very same e-mail came back. Identical. "Nina Honarmand, Customer Experience Champion", again informed me that the cancelled flight would be reimbursed within 5-10 days but that my claim for the alternative flight could not be processed as my attachments were not in PDF, JPEG or BMP formats.
Then it said "please click here and we will be more than happy to assist you further". I did click "here" and look where it took me.
Remember earlier I mentioned opening an "Easyjet account"? Well, here it is. I don't remember ever opening one. So I went for the third option: "If you do not have an account...Create a New Account". But as soon as I started the process, the system informed me that my e-mail was being picked up as part of an already existing account.
So I went back. Perhaps I had opened an account after all. Option two is for people who have forgotten their password. I went through it and, sure enough, it said that "a new password will be sent to your email address shortly".
I checked my email inbox and, voila', Easyjet just sent me a message. Perhaps we're seeing the end of this, I thought.
Wrong. The email informed that my password is, literally: (none set).
Desperate, I tried to type in "none set" or "noneset" as the password to my alleged pre-existing account, by neither worked.
"Have you tried to complain?", I hear you asking. Yes, but -again- in order to be forwarded, the online complaint form has to include your "Easyjet account" details, so jack.
I accept that all airlines are being inundated with queries and requests these days and that customers may have to be extra patient and hold on for more than a reasonable number of days. I accept all that.
What I don't accept is the notion that, in 2010, a 'no-frills' airline can get away with total lack of basic customer service and a ridiculously user-unfriendly website that feels like bouncing against a brick wall.
And I'm sorry to say, but if all of the above is the best Ryanair's biggest competitors can manage, gobby Michael O'Leary can sleep safe and sound - total air traffic domination is within his reach.

Hotels label themselves as 'luxury' or 'boutique' so often nowadays that the terms have lost any real meaning.
But a genuine slice of paradise can be found nestled between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales at Angel Barn.
Debbie Temple and Richard Greaves have converted a derelict 15th century barn into a charming home from home for six people.
An undeniable labour of love, the couple worked with painstaking care to bring the accommodation to an unprecedented standard.
Angel Barn is situated in Lower Skennerkeugh adjacent to the couple's other venture, A Corner of Eden, which features bed and breakfast accommodation of equally high standard.
Also on the site is the Shepherd's Hut, a stand-alone railway cabin converted into a romantic hideaway for two. Just 90 minutes' drive from Manchester, we were lucky to arrive at the site in glorious autumn sunshine – perfect to appreciate the tranquil location.
We were greeted by the barn's resident hens – responsible for producing delicious eggs which are free-range in the strictest sense – and Debbie and Richard, who proudly show us around.
Downstairs, the barn features a large, covetable kitchen and dining room, with a splendid gas oven and cooker, state-of-the-art fridge freezer and all the mod cons you require to really feel at home.
The lounge area is perfectly designed to promote peaceful conversation and relaxation, though there is a flat-screen TV hidden in a corner for those not ready to completely abandon mundane civilisation.
We were thrilled. The weather turned cold enough for us to use the log-burning fire – what could be more perfect for a cosy night in with loved ones?
Upstairs, three bedrooms are uniquely styled, all en suite, with the master featuring a stunning bathroom with a large stand-alone tub.
Classic and unique styles happily meet everywhere and each detail has been carefully thought through by the owners, from hair straighteners to labelled walking maps.
The barn is also sustainable, with a ground-source heat pump, photovoltaic electricity panels and water from a natural spring.
Even the carpets are made from Cumbrian Herdwick wool, while insulation from local sheep's wool keeps everything toasty.
Though the barn is self-catering, each party is welcomed by a champagne hamper full of homemade delicacies, local goodies and treats.
The couple like to keep full details as a surprise – suffice to say there are plenty of nibbles for the first night, delicious local produce for breakfast and delectable home made bread – as well as the all important bottle of bubbly.
Cooking in that kitchen is a pleasure rather than a chore and as keen cooks, Debbie and Richard have kitted it out with all the top-quality equipment you could need, as well as staple spices, oils and other basics.
On leaving the barn, visitors are treated to a range of options for exploring the local area.
Walking is a must, be it a stroll through the fields to nearby villages or a hike up the Howgills or Wildboar Fell.
Away from the tourist magnet sites of the Lake District, you can be gone for a good couple of hours without bumping into anyone else, which makes a welcome change.
Cycling, fly-fishing, kayaking, watercolour painting and paragliding are all options and Debbie and Richard are happy to advise.
The nearest pub, The Fat Lamb, is just a 10-minute walk away and offers a traditional menu, as well as boasting a large garden overlooking a nature reserve.
Ravenstonedale makes a picturesque visit, offering two further pubs, while the towns of Kirkby Stephen and Brough are a short drive or cycle away, both boasting their own unique charms.
Back at Angel Barn, you can enjoy a gin and tonic at the site's private balcony and feel a million miles away from the humdrum of life.
Angel Barn is a real treat and is rightfully growing in notoriety, recently winning the Westmorland Gazette's Places to Stay award 2012.
The only question to ask is have you been good enough to stay there?

Counting cards means taking note of the card tally as the dealer goes through the deck. By tallying, you will be in a position to know which cards are likely to appear for the dealer and you in the next hand. With that little information, you can ascertain when to make a small bet.

Ĝuu La Praktika Bit Of Blackjack Karto Counting Ĉe Slot Jar
Card counting strategies are many. However, the easiest and the best system is what is referred to as the High-Low strategy. This strategy requires that the player keeps a simple mental computation of 3 groups of cards. Every time a high number appears on the table (the face cards and 10s), the Blackjack card counting player subtracts one from his or her tally. Every time the twos and the sixes appear the Blackjack card counting player to the tally. The 7s, the 8s, and 9s are ignored.
To illustrate the above, if the running tally is plus three, the implication is that the cards that will appear later on might be high, giving the player a chance to bet big. In the event that the tally drops to negative two, the dealer will enjoy high odds because of the subsequent low cards. This means the player will then have to bet small. The count will definitely drop to zero when the deck is shuffled.

I love a good turnaround story, and for investors, there's no greater turnaround story right now than the housing market.
I wasn't convinced at first. But now, after a few months of steady progress, I'm a believer. Take the latest new home sales data. Americans ramped up new-home buying to the fastest pace in two years — the 389,000 annual pace blew expert estimates out of the water. And last week, both September housing starts and building permits surged to a four-year high.
So it comes as no surprise that the residential construction industry's profits are forecast to surge 641% this quarter. General building materials companies are headed toward 73% bottom-line growth, and even home improvement stores stand to profit –earnings are expected to rise 29%.
Impressive numbers to say the least, but if you can't properly capitalize on that growth, it's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. That's why I'm going to run down three of the most promising housing plays that you might want to consider owning now. And a bonus: Two are set to announce earnings next week.
Automating the Homebuying Process
Ellie Mae (NYSE:ELLI) is a huge beneficiary from the growing regulatory demands placed on lenders. That's because its Encompass software handles business and management functions for mortgage originators. In fact, this software is so good that it reduces the average cost per mortgage by $3,000. So it comes as no surprise that between Encompass 360 and its Datatrac software, this company is responsible for handling nearly a third of the national volume of loans.
When you buy Ellie Mae stock, you're buying into one of the best-performing companies in the application software industry. While the rest of this industry is headed toward just 12.8% earnings growth this quarter, analysts expect Ellie Mae's bottom line to surge 122.2%!
Ellie Mae reports earnings after the close Oct. 31. Given its track record of stunning earnings surprises, it shouldn't disappoint.
America's Luxury Homebuilder
Based in Pennsylvania, Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL) is the 15th-largest homebuilder in the industry, and it has been on fire lately. This company is known for building luxury homes across 20 states, drawing in $1.5 billion in revenue in the most recent fiscal year. With operations across dozens of major suburban market and metropolitan areas, Toll Brothers has its finger in several pots, including land developing, golf course management, landscaping services and even mortgage services.
One glance at this conservative stock's Portfolio Grader page tells you just how far TOL has come in the past year. And while TOL has surged 91% in the past 12 months, its run isn't over by a long shot. This quarter, Toll Brothers is expected to post 32% sales growth and 167% earnings growth. And given that the past two quarters have brought triple-digit earnings surprises (yes, you read that correctly), I can't wait for Toll Brothers' next earnings announcement, due in early December.
Laying the Foundation for a Recovery
Of course, all of the materials that go into a house have to come from somewhere, and that's where Eagle Materials (NYSE:EXP) comes in. This is a top manufacturer of cement, concrete and drywall. Within the cement industry, Eagle Materials stands out in terms of bottom-line growth and return on equity and its 0.8% dividend yield.
And just like TOL, EXP has vastly improved in the past year. But it's not too late to get in on this stock's incredible run. For its Oct. 29 earnings announcement, analysts expect 24% sales growth and 236% earnings growth. And when we consider that analysts have upped their estimates by nearly 10% during the past three months, I expect Eagle Materials stock to grab headlines when it reports earnings.
In a world where emerging markets are slowing down and Europe is at a standstill, it's refreshing to see bright spots like this in the U.S. economy. Even Warren Buffett recently said on CNBC that the housing market has turned a corner, and I agree. So while these companies announce ballooning profits this quarter, there's no excuse not to get in on the action.
And as three A-rated stocks, I consider ELLI, TOL and EXP a great place to start.

BOSTON � In a little-remembered but revealing footnote to John F. Kennedy�s presidency, original art from a Superman comic book promoting youth fitness is now�on display at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
The Man of Steel answered the Prince of Camelot�s call for help in "Superman�s Mission for President Kennedy,�� drawn by prolific artist Al Plastino, whose illustrations evoke memories of a simpler time when the nation�s two biggest heroes worked together to get soft American youth in shape.
In 1963, the Kennedy White House collaborated with Superman�s publisher, then called National Periodical Publications, to promote the President�s Council on Physical Fitness.
"I don�t know if I should laugh or cry,�� said Evelyn LaChance, who�d been a teenager in Nashua, N.H., when Kennedy was elected. "It seems so innocent like watching �I Love Lucy� reruns. It�s a little sad how things have become so complicated.��
Answering President Kennedy�s call to promote youth fitness, Superman naturally flew through a window, cape fluttering, into the Oval Office.
Standing beside Old Glory and a painting of a sailboat, the president told the Man of Steel: "Superman! Even for a man who can move mountains, the assignment I have for you might be difficult!"
After hearing about American students who were too tired to continue hiking through "faraway Switzerland�� after Superman rescued them from a landslide, JFK tells the Man of Steel: "Once we lose our physical alertness, our mental alertness will vanish as well.��
"Our forefathers were hardy folk because they walked to school, chopped trees and tilled the soil,�� the president told Superman. "But modern inventions like the auto and the tractor have made our youth soft.��
"I agree, Mr. President,�� replied Superman. "And I�ll do all I can to help close the muscle gap.��
History intervened and Superman only finished the job after the president�s assassination.
"Superman�s Mission�� was in production in November 1963, when Kennedy was killed and the project was put aside. With encouragement from President Lyndon Johnson, the story was published in mid-1964 as a special tribute to the slain president.
Museum Curator Stacey Bredhoff called "Superman�s Mission�� "a relic from that period of time that shows the president using pop culture to find a way to speak to young people.��
"It�s fun to see all these iconic figures, the President, Superman and John Glenn in a comic. I think it shows the depth of President Kennedy�s commitment to physical fitness and the idea a strong country needs strong citizens,�� she said.
The display in the Document Room showcases 10 storyboards by Plastino whose fanciful story combined patriotism, plot twists and social commentary.
Pastino�s images are black-and-white and would have been colored later by a different person. The final panel is presented in color, as seen by readers.
With Kennedy-esque "vigor,�� Superman accepted the executive request and, in short order, trained out-of-shape American kids to run long distance and lose weight by melting off fat in underground hot springs he transforms into "a Turkish bath.�� In the most inventive sequence, Superman restored the "confidence�� of two underachieving twin track athletes by taking them to the moon to run hurdles and pole vault in limited gravity.
On the story�s last page, it was announced the original artwork would be donated to the Kennedy Library, which was in the early stages of its planning at the time. That promise wasn�t kept until last year.
Bredhoff said in 2013 when Plastino � then 90 � learned his original art was to be auctioned, his family contacted the library to see if it had ever received the promised�work. After searching the archives, staffers told Plastino�s family the art had never been sent to the museum.
In December 2013, a month after Plastino died at 91, DC Comics acquired the original drawings and donated them to the library, where they are now part of the permanent collection, Bredhoff said.
Visiting with his mother from Meriden, Conn., Anthony Lally said "Superman�s Mission�� "didn�t seen to have too much action�� compared to today�s comics and graphic novels. "I guess kids were different then,���said the 15-year-old.
"Most things were,�� his mother answered.

The federal government says the coalition has some "serious questions to answer" over its conduct in the Peter Slipper case.
Federal Court judge Steven Rares on Wednesday dismissed the sexual harassment case taken by staffer James Ashby against the former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Justice Rares said the case had been brought by Ashby "for the predominant purpose of causing political damage to Mr Slipper".
He found Mr Ashby acted in combination with fellow staffer Karen Doane and former federal minister Mal Brough to "advance the interests of the LNP and Mr Brough".
Mr Brough has been preselected as the Liberal National Party's candidate for Mr Slipper's seat of Fisher at the next federal election.
A spokesman for Attorney-General Nicola Roxon told AAP the government welcomed the judge's decision, which "clearly" found Mr Ashby "abused the process of the court".
"This shows how dangerously wrong and misleading (shadow attorney-general) Senator (George) Brandis can be in prejudging court matters," the spokesman said.
"The coalition will have some serious questions to answer about their own conduct."
Senator Brandis previously accused Ms Roxon of politically "managing" the sexual harassment case against Mr Slipper.
The commonwealth negotiated a $50,000 settlement with Mr Ashby after he included the government in his action against Mr Slipper.
Cabinet minister Peter Garrett also urged Senator Brandis to answer "serious questions".
"He was the one that made a call on this case when he shouldn't have," Mr Garrett told reporters in Sydney.
"He's the one that needs to answer questions now because there's clearly been an abuse of process and the court has found accordingly."

After a national search, the Einstein Department of Medicine has recruited Simon Spivack, M.D., M.P.H., as the new Chief of the Division of Pulmonary Medicine. Spivack is a physician-scientist in the Human Toxicology & Molecular Epidemiology Laboratory at the New York State Department of Health's Wadsworth Center in Albany, and an Associate Professor of Pulmonary and Critical Care in the Department of Medicine and of Environmental Health Sciences in the School of Public Health at SUNY Albany.
Dr. Spivack's NIH funding and research expertise centers around the nexus of lung cancer, human genetics, early detection, and epidemiology. His present projects use analysis of DNA recovered from cells in exhaled breath, a technique he pioneered in the hopes that his group can potentially detect cancer at an early stage, when treatment may be most successful.
In particular, Spivack's lab has looked to see if the DNA they captured had been methylated. Spivack and colleagues have analyzed the detailed methylation patterns of a number of tumor suppressor gene promotors. They believe that categorizing patients according to these methylation patterns can potentially evaluate a patient's predisposition to lung cancer. Indeed, a recent study by his group showed statistically apparent differences between never-smokers, former and current smokers, and those with lung cancer.
Dr. Spivack will be in the Bronx several days a week this fall to become acquainted with the Division. He will relocate his research laboratory to Einstein in early 2008.
Having led the Division for the past decade, Spivack's predecessor, Dr. Thomas Aldrich, has decided to pursue other interests at Montefiore, including research and teaching.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After taking the first two matches of a three-game home stand over the weekend, the MIT water polo team dropped a 14-7 decision to nationally-ranked No. 14 St. Francis (N.Y.) on Sunday afternoon.
The Terriers led, 3-1, after the first period and 7-2 at halftime before going on to the 14-7 victory. Mark Artz was the high scorer for the Engineers with three goals. John Preis added a pair of markers and Mike Smith-Bronstein and Brian Gardiner each scored once. With the loss MIT falls to 6-10 on the season while St. Francis improves to 12-5.
Freshman goalkeeper Columbus Leonard had nine saves in the loss.
The game was MIT's final tune-up before the Division III Eastern championship next weekend at Johns Hopkins University. The Engineers have played in the final of that tournament every year since 1999 and have captured the championship five times. Their first game is Saturday, October 25 versus Washington & Jefferson at 2:15 p.m.

Everyone is hoping that the shockingly disappointing December jobs report was an anomaly caused primarily by bad weather. I am, too, but I'm not entirely convinced the lousy numbers can be shrugged off on the polar vortex.
Continue Reading Below
The U.S. added a meager 74,000 jobs last month despite December typically seeing a surge in hiring in seasonal retail sales for the holiday shopping season.
Something an analyst told me a few days ahead of the release of the monthly labor numbers -- when everyone still believed the U.S. had likely added 200,000 or more jobs last month -- has gotten stuck in my head.
We were talking about the economic prospects for 2014 and the analyst said he believed stock market investors were in for a bumpy ride. He noted that stocks soared to record highs last year not necessarily because strong corporate revenue growth had pushed companies' profits higher. Instead, stocks jumped thanks to the Federal Reserve's easy-money policies and profits rose due to cost-cutting measures that in many cases meant large numbers of layoffs.
A few days later retail giant Macy's (NYSE:M) announced it was slashing 2,500 U.S. jobs in an effort to save $100 million a year. Macy's stock leaped the next day. That's great for investors but not so much for those facing layoffs.
Then banking giants Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), all reported quarterly profits that beat Wall Street's expectations this week. All three banks slashed payrolls last year: BofA announced plans in October to cut more than 4,000 jobs; JPM reduced its workforce by 7,557 last year (with plans to cut thousands more in 2014) and Wells Fargo shed 6,200 jobs.
Troubling Labor Market Trends
These huge job cuts aren't solely about boosting profits and stock prices. In Macy's case, it's about the shifting habits of shoppers, who increasingly would rather shop online than schlep out to the department store. That irreversible trend doesn't bode well for big retailers, just ask the shareholders and employees of struggling electronics retailer Best Buy (NYSE:BBY).
At BofA, JPM and Wells Fargo, the job cuts are coming mainly from the mortgage origination units, a direct result of a slowdown in the home lending and refinancing sector.
Home financing, and consequently the broader housing sector, could also see headwinds in 2014 as the Fed moves forward with its policy of scaling back the stimulus programs initiated in the wake of the financial crisis.
Mortgage rates have risen more than a full point to about 4.5% from 3.3% last spring, just about the time Fed Chief Ben Bernanke began strongly hinting that the Fed would begin tapering its bond purchase program known as quantitative easing before the end of the year.
In December, Bernanke kept his promise, announcing that the Fed would reduce its bond purchases by $10 billion each month starting in January with an eye toward ending the programs by the end of 2014. That will undoubtedly push mortgage rates higher.
Meanwhile, federal, state and local governments continue to scale back. The Labor Department reported last week that public U.S. payrolls were trimmed by 13,000 in December, part of a years-long trend, especially since state, county and municipal budgets have tightened since the 2008 financial crisis. Research by the Economic Policy Institute shows that since the end of the 2009 recession total public employment has significantly declined while private job growth has recovered, albeit in fits and starts.
All these structural flaws in the labor markets and I haven't even mentioned the labor-force participation rate, which is at its lowest level in 35 years.
Cutting off Unemployment Benefits Might Not Help
As has been widely reported, the headline unemployment rate fell in December to 6.7% from 7% a month earlier, despite the paltry number of jobs created. The reason the rate fell, as has been the case throughout much of the recovery, was because hundreds of thousands of Americans (347,000 in December) left the workforce, many out of frustration that they can't find a job.
When people stop looking for work altogether they are no longer counted by the government as part of the overall workforce, which reduces the number of unemployed and lowers the unemployment rate -- for all the wrong reasons.
Ironically -- or perhaps cruelly -- a proposal to extend emergency unemployment benefits for 1.3 million out-of-work Americans is currently stalled in Congress, even as the ranks of the long-term unemployed are approaching unprecedented levels. According to the Economic Policy Institute, the share of the workforce that is long-term unemployed (out of work for more than six months) is "nearly twice as high today as it was in any other period when we allowed an extended benefits program to expire following earlier recessions."
Some will argue that cutting off their benefits will force these people to go out and get a job. Or it may force them out of their home and into the street.

Abstract: A Truly Cold Case: The Search for North Carolina's Lost Colonists
The fate of the sixteenth-century Lost Colony is one of the most compelling mysteries in early American history. Conjecture as to what became of them began when their former governor, John White, returned in 1590 to find the colony deserted and only the word "Croatoan" carved on a post of the fort's palisade. In the ensuing 430 years explorers, scholars, novelists and a host of conspiracy theorists have offered their ideas as to what happened to the 180 colonists. I will discuss several of the ideas for their fate and provide a framework for testing these theories involving the known history & archaeology. This will allow the audience to see for themselves what the various theories have to offer. I will also discuss why this mystery continues to capture the imagination of the scholarly and popular audience alike and what the importance of the site would be should it ever be found.

Some happy, some not so happy :)
Kudos to Claire Mathieu and the PC for not only including the list of papers, but also the list of abstracts !! Finally !!
As a public service, here's a TeX-formatted PDF of the list of abstracts, for those who find serif font easier to read than a stream of text on a web page. Warning, it's 44 pages long, and will have formatting errors. I wrote a perl script for the overall parsing and did lots of local fixing by hand for math-mode stuff, but it's not perfect.

There were no Amar'e Stoudemire spinning, post-up buckets or hard drives to the hole by Carmelo Anthony.
But there was plenty of spirited defense, 3-point missiles from Steve Novak and dunks from J.R. Smith as the Knicks destroyed the slumping Jazz Saturday night, 113-84, at the Garden.
Stoudemire is out for the regular season with the announcement he needs debridement surgery to clean out his right knee, and Anthony missed his third straight game with a swollen right knee.
But the Knicks (38-22) didn't miss a beat as they pummeled the Jazz with Smith pumping in 24 points and Novak collecting 20 points in 26 minutes. That makes 60 points for Smith in his last two games. He scored 36 in the Knicks' 95-94 loss to the Thunder on Thursday night.
Novak drilled 7 of 12 shots, including five 3-pointers. Smith, with a series of ferocious driving dunks to go along with his perimeter game, shot 9-for-16. The Knicks are 5-5 in games Anthony has missed this season.
"Some games you come out after news like Amar'e's down or you kind of rally and come together,'' Novak said. "That's what you saw. At first you get the news and you're down. Then you rally together.''
The Knicks led 75-45 with 4:15 left in the third quarter and went up 32 points late in the fourth. They held Utah to 38.5 percent shooting.
"Defensively, we just kept scraping and scratching,'' coach Mike Woodson said. "Our assignments were pretty much on the money. I thought defense really won the game for us.''
The slumping Jazz finished its four-game road trip 0-4. The Jazz fell to 32-31 and into an eighth-place tie with Mike D'Antoni's Lakers for the final Western Conference playoff spot.
It was a big win for the Knicks' psyche as they embark on a brutal five-game Western swing, where they face Golden State, Denver, Portland, the Clippers and the Jazz again.
Anthony's status is officially "day to day'' and Stoudemire is out six weeks.
"I was more impressed not with our offense but our defense,'' Jason Kidd said.
The Knicks took a 55-38 lead at halftime after Novak got hot midway through the second quarter, bagging three 3-pointers in a four-minute span. With Stoudemire out, the reliance on Novak's 3-point shot will increase and the Knicks set nice, new back screens for their 3-point sniper.
"We're not a better team without those guys, but we have to find other ways to score,'' Novak said.

Call Server: Call Server Is Unreachable
From DocWiki
Call Server Is Unreachable
|Problem Summary
|The Call Server is unreachable.
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|A configured component is unreachable in any one of the following three conditions:
|Recommended Actaion
|In this example, all three services (Unified ICME, IVR, and SIP) have been configured. The central controller reports that IVR Service and SIP are IN_SERVICE, but it does not report the status of the Unified ICME Service to the Operations Console for some reason. When this occurs, Operations Console reports the status of Unified ICME as UNREACHABLE. Operations Console aggregates the status of the various components of the device to arrive at device status. It sees that two of the components (IVR Service and SIP) are in SERVICE, but Unified ICME is UNREACHABLE. Operations Console shows the status of the Call Server as UNREACHABLE even though IVR Service and SIP are actually in service.
Check the network environment for connectivity, as well as the actual state of the server.

MOUNT HOLLY -- A former TD Bank teller has been indicted on charges of stealing nearly $100,000 from a customer's account, and her 'victim' -- who triggered the investigation by complaining about suspicious account activity -- was indicted for allegedly filing false tax returns that led to a $545,000 tax refund from the state.
Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi announced Tuesday that Lisa Jarvis was indicted for allegedly stealing nearly $98,445 from the customer's account over a two-year period starting in 2009.
Jarvis, 32, formerly of Willingboro, who now lives in Norcross, Ga., is free on $5,000 bail.
Kenneth Costello, 49, formerly of Willingboro, was indicted for filing four fraudulent tax returns for the 2008 tax year that resulted in the $545,384 refund from the New Jersey Treasury Department.
Bernardi said Costello eventually diverted the funds to multiple financial institutions, purchased a $40,000 vehicle and used some of the money for living expenses.
Costello attempted to file an additional tax return that would have yielded an additional refund of $228,000, but it was denied by the treasury department, the prosecutor said.
Jarvis was working as a teller at the TD Bank on Levitt Parkway in Willingboro when Costello opened the account in November 2009 and deposited the tax refund check, Bernardi said.
Over the next two years, Jarvis used a duplicate debit card to withdraw $98,445 from the account.
The investigation began after Costello told bank officials and township police about suspicious transactions on his account.
Jarvis was indicted on theft and other charges, while Costello was indicted on money laundering and other charges. The indictments were returned June 21. Arraignments will be scheduled soon in Superior Court.
The investigation was conducted by the New Jersey Treasury Department, Division of Taxation, Office of Criminal Investigations, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office Financial Crimes Unit, and the Willingboro Police Department.

Syrian government forces took control of the city of Qusayr early Wednesday in a major setback for rebels trying to topple President Bashar Assad.
The government announced that its forces had retaken the city, which had been in rebel hands for the past year, after two weeks of fighting and were now moving through the neighborhoods they had captured disarming explosive devices that the rebels had left behind.
Rebels, confirming they had abandoned Qusayr, said they had left "dozens of fighters" behind to protect wounded civilians.
The final moments for the rebel presence in Qusayr, which once had a population of about 30,000, came after days in which rebels in other parts of Syria vowed to send reinforcements. But only a few were able to reach the city, which sits near the border with Lebanon, and they reportedly were as poorly equipped as the force they were sent to help.
News reports said that Syrian government forces and fighters from the Lebanese group Hezbollah allowed the rebels to withdraw to the nearby town of Dabaa.
There was no official word on rebel or government casualties. A rebel spokesman last week had said his forces had taken "heavy losses" in the fighting.
The strategic blow, however, might be severe. Qusayr was an important way station for rebels smuggling arms and people into Syria, and the Reuters news agency quoted a Syrian general describing the city as a linchpin in efforts to break the grip the rebels have held on much of central Syria since last summer.
"Whoever controls Qusayr, controls the center of the country and whoever controls the center of the country controls all of Syria," Brigadier General Yalya Suleiman told Beirut-based Mayadeen television, Reuters reported.
The battle marked the first major intervention by Hezbollah in the fighting, and its participation was considered a key element in the rebel defeat. The Hezbollah presence also set off an outcry from the rebels' primary backers, including the United States, which demanded last week that it withdraw its forces.
Last week, Hezbollah fighters returning from Qusayr said that the city had been largely cleared of rebels then and that they were laying siege to the few areas where rebels remained.
The rebel retreat came after a day in which the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks the fighting, reported that government planes bombed rebel positions and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent reported that the Syrian government had denied it entry into the city because fighting still raged
In addition to the city itself, rebel forces lost control of a number of nearby towns and villages in the government offensive, and their once strong grip on much of the countryside appears to have waned. The meager rebel reinforcements that reached Qusayr took more than a week to arrive, a sign that they could no longer move freely to the city, and at least one group of reinforcements was ambushed by the Syrian army as it tried to reach the city.
An anti-government activist in the city of Yabrud, south of Qusayr, said that some fighters also had traveled from Yabrud to Qusayr to the support the rebels. But the rebel reinforcements were small in number and no better equipped than the fighters they were going to aid.
"The groups who are coming have very little ammunition," said Yazed al Hasan, a spokesman for the Farouq Brigades, one of the main rebel groups in Qusayr.
It was unclear how many civilians remained in Qusayr when the rebel forces withdrew. The Syrian Opposition Coalition, an umbrella group for the opposition against the government, repeatedly said in the final days of the battle that thousands of civilians were trapped by the fighting.
But most civilians had left the city, others said.

About NuMe
NuMe's trademark curling wands and flat irons set themselves apart with a suite of innovative technologies. Solid-ceramic plates infused with crushed tourmaline produce a field of negative ions, counteracting the positive ions that produce static electricity and dry, unruly locks. The plates' floating design keeps them in full contact with hair during every shift of the hand to prevent awkward creases. Other features are professional-grade refinements on classic equipment: a 360-degree swiveling cord helps avoid tangles for people who like a lot of spinning around in their morning routine; powerful but nonburning infrared-heating elements take just 6–10 seconds to fully warm up; and an ultra-precise control switch allows for temperatures ranging from 140 to 450 degrees.
More than a decade of research and development has gone into these formulas and inventions, but the stylists behind them know that their true test is in the transition between the lab and the bathroom mirror. Accordingly, they keep a YouTube channel populated with reviews, tutorials, and styling tips to help create long-lasting curls or sleekness.
