text: Good News, Bad News For Wheat April 26, 2013 09:39 AM Tweet This year's hard red winter wheat crop could see as much as a 25% abandonment. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email It has been a "good news, bad news" week for wheat farmers. First, the good news – both public and private sources continue to inject dollars into R&D efforts in hopes of accelerating yield and quality gains. The latest such example comes from the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Wheat Alliance and Kansas Crop Improvement Association, which announced they will collectively fund more than $1.4 million in wheat research for the 2014 fiscal year. The funding will go toward continuing wheat research at Kansas State University. Much of the funding will go toward the core facets of new wheat variety development, including improved disease control and resistance, improved insect control and resistance, quality assessment and genetic mapping and trait identification. Dollars will also be allocated toward advanced breeding technologies and new agronomic equipment. This year, scientists were asked to submit proposals and were awarded funding based on alignments with the three groups' particular research goals. "Collaboration allows our organizations to better prioritize research funding needs and to get the most out of wheat producer dollars," says Daryl Strouts, president of KWA. Kansas Wheat CEO Justin Gilpin notes that Kansas farmer funding of wheat research is at an all-time high. Much of the funding comes through a 1.5-cent fee collected on every bushel of wheat sold in the state through the KWC, plus royalties collected on licensed public varieties through the KWA. "These research projects, along with the investment in the new Kansas Wheat Innovation Center, clearly demonstrate that wheat farmers put money back into advancing their industry," he says. On to the bad news: Bloomberg is reporting up to a 25% abandonment of the 2013 hard red winter wheat crop, attributing the losses to the droughty start of the season, the coldest start ever for the wheat-growing season in Kansas, plus freezing weather across the southern Great Plains this spring. Bloomberg arrived at the figure by compiling and averaging 11 analyst estimates. Some analysts are predicting a total output drop of as much as 27%. Societe Generale is predicting a 15% rally in Kansas City wheat futures to $8.50 a bushel by the fourth quarter, Bloomberg reports. Back to news

Did you know that we have royalty in our genes? It's true!
We can trace our family line through fifteen Kings directly back to Cerdic, King of the West Saxons (circa 519 AD) through our immigrant ancestory Joseph Bolles (1608-1678). Joseph Bolles was born in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England.
Bolles is descended from Lored Alaine Bolle (circa 1216 AD) of Swineshead, Lincolnshire. It is through Joseph's grandmother, Anne Goodrick, that we can follow our royal line of decent.
Joseph Bolles first settled in Wells, ME with his wife Mary in 1640. They later moved to Kittery, ME having purchased land from the famous Maj. Charles Frost, Commander-in-Chief of the Militia of King Philips War. Frost married their daughter, also named Mary, though ten years her senior.
Joseph Bolles is the grandfather of Lydia Frost (Pierce/Greenleaf*) who's great-great grandaughter, Pheobe Adams, married Nathaniel Currier. They were the great-great grandparents of Jenny Currier.

|Non-Myeloablative Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Mobilized Hematopoietic Precursor Cell Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies in High Risk Patients and in Patients With Debilitating Hematologic Diseases
|Brief Summary
The are a variety of cancerous diseases of the blood and bone marrow that can be potentially cured by bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Diseases like leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma are among the conditions that can be treated with BMT.
Some patients with these diseases can be treated with medical chemotherapy alone. However, patients who relapse following chemotherapy are usually not curable with additional chemotherapy treatments. The only option known to provide a potential cure if this occurs is BMT.
Allogenic transplants are cells collected from relatives of the patient. The transplant requires additional high intensity chemotherapy and radiation in order to destroy cancerous cells. In the process, many normal bone marrow cells are also destroyed. This is the reason for transplanting stem cells. The stem cells help to build new functioning bone marrow, red cells, white cells, and platelets. In addition, the immune cells from the donor are implanted into the recipient s body and help to fight off infection and kill remaining cancerous cells.
Unfortunately, the powerful doses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy associated with allogenic BMT have toxic side effects and often make BMTs too dangerous to attempt in many patients.
In order to reduce the complications of BMT, and make it a safer available option for patients with cancers of the blood and bone marrow, researchers have developed a new approach to the BMT.
In this study researchers plan to use stem cells collected from the blood stream of patient s relatives rather than from the bone marrow (blood progenitor/stem cell transplant). In addition, researchers plan to use low doses of chemotherapy and no radiation therapy to reduce side effects. The majority of the cancer killing effect will be the responsibility of the stem cell transplant rather than the chemotherapy.
|Detailed Description
Patients with malignant and non-malignant hematologic diseases including severe aplastic anemia (SAA), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute and chronic leukemias, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma (MM) can now be cured by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). This curative effect has been ascribed to the use of high dose chemo-radiotherapy and the anti-tumor or anti-bone marrow effect of the allograft. Dose intensification of conditioning regimens in attempts to reduce disease recurrence has been largely unsuccessful because of increased toxicity and mortality. Indeed, most evidence now points to donor-derived T-cells as being the principal modality leading to the complete eradication of both malignant and non-malignant host hematopoietic cells.
The assumption that successful allogeneic BMT relies on the myeloablative effect of intensive but hazardous chemo-radiotherapy has largely restricted this therapeutic modality to patients with malignant or life-threatening hematologic disorders under the age of 55 years. Treatment-related mortality increases substantially with age, prior intensive treatment with chemo-radiotherapy, worsening performance status, and co-morbid medical conditions. An unacceptable risk of death from conventional BMT renders many patients ineligible for what may otherwise be curative therapy.
Several in vitro studies have demonstrated the existence of donor-derived CD4 and CD8 positive lymphocytes with specific reactivity for the patient s leukemia. These cells provide a potent graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. This GVL effect is best seen in patients with CML relapsing after BMT, where a single infusion of donor lymphocytes has been shown to induce complete remission. In addition to the potent anti-leukemia effect of these cells, there is now strong evidence that donor T-cells are capable of completely eradicating residual host hematopoietic cells in a non-myeloablative transplant setting (graft-versus-marrow) leading to successful and complete donor hematopoietic engraftment.
Non-myeloablative allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplants are currently being investigated in phase I/II trials assessing engraftment efficacy and toxicity at a number of transplant centers. Preliminary data, including our own experience with greater than 150 patients undergoing this type of procedure, have shown a high rate of complete donor engraftment with a low toxicity profile. Two recent studies investigating non-myeloablative allo-transplantation in standard risk patients revealed an extremely low rate of transplant-related complications and mortality.
The decreased risk of transplant-related complications associated with non-myeloablative transplants expands the eligibility of transplant candidates as well as opens the possibility to evaluate non-myeloablative regimens in patients at high risk for complications with standard transplantation. Besides hematologic malignancies, allogeneic BMT has been shown to be curative in a number of debilitating hematologic diseases which may behave in a relatively indolent fashion, such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and refractory anemia (RA) or refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS). However, the 30% risk of treatment-related mortality (TRM) with standard myeloablative allotransplantation usually precludes these patients from potentially curative therapy, because of concerns about shortening life in patients with these disorders. In this protocol we investigate non-myeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation in two groups of subjects where standard allogeneic transplantation is considered to have unacceptable toxicity.
Group A: Subjects with hematologic malignancies with factors putting them at high risk for transplant related complications and mortality, including prior intensive chemo-radiotherapy and co-morbid diseases.
Group B: Subjects with hematologic diseases (both clonal and non-clonal) associated with reasonable longevity not currently considered for allogeneic BMT because of prohibitive procedural mortality with conventional BMT (enrollment closed October 2010).
In this protocol, eligible subjects are treated with an allogeneic PBSC transplant from an HLA identical or single HLA antigen-mismatched family donor, using an intensive immunosuppressive regimen without myeloablation in an attempt to decrease the transplant related toxicities while preserving the anti-malignancy and/or anti-host marrow effect of the graft. The low intensity non-myeloablative conditioning regimen should provide adequate immunosuppression to allow stem cell and lymphocyte engraftment. T-cell replete, donor-derived, granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized PBSCs will be used to establish hematopoietic and lymphoid reconstitution. We will add back lymphocytes in recipients with less than 100% donor T-cell chimerism in an attempt to prevent graft rejection and enhance a graft-versus-malignancy effect.
The primary endpoint of this study is transplant related mortality (200 day survival). Other end points include engraftment, degree of donor-host chimerism, incidence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD), transplant related morbidity as well as disease-free and overall survival.

Scheme 48 has a static linker that produces stand-alone heap images from module descriptions. The programmer specifies a particular procedure in a particular structure to be the image's startup procedure (entry point), and the linker traces dependency links as given by open and access clauses to determine the composition of the heap image.
There is not currently any provision for separate compilation; the only input to the static linker is source code. However, it will not be difficult to implement separate compilation. The unit of compilation is one module (not one file). Any opened or accessed structures from which macros are obtained must be processed to the extent of extracting its macro definitions. The compiler knows from the interface of an opened or accessed structure which of its exports are macros. Except for macros, a module may be compiled without any knowledge of the implementation of its opened and accessed structures. However, inter-module optimization may be available as an option.
The main difficulty with separate compilation is resolution of auxiliary bindings introduced into macro expansions. The module compiler must transmit to the loader or linker the search path by which such bindings are to be resolved. In the case of the delay macro's auxiliary make-promise (see example above), the loader or linker needs to know that the desired binding of make-promise is the one apparent in delay's defining package, not in the package being loaded or linked.

How to contribute to Mutopia
The Mutopia archive consists entirely of contributions from people around the world. If you would like to contribute, there are several ways in which you are able to help. These include typesetting music that we don't already have, proofreading music to check for errors, and updating music to a newer version of LilyPond for better quality output and easier updating.
Typeset Music
New contributions to Mutopia are always welcome. Simply typeset the music using the free LilyPond software, add the necessary headers, and send it to us at <contributions (at) MutopiaProject.org>. It is a good idea to check that the music is not already present in Mutopia, and that no one else is working on it (using the projects in progress page). Note that it is vital to check that the source you have used is out of copyright.
We reserve the right to refuse files submitted to Mutopia if we feel that they are in any way unsuitable.
Check Copyright Status of Source
If you are contributing music you have composed yourself, then this doesn't apply to you. If you are contributing classical music, however, even if it is your own arrangement, then you need to check that the source of the music you're going to enter is out of copyright. For our purposes it has to meet the following criteria. This ensures that the music is in the public domain in as much of the world as possible.
- The composer, lyricist, arranger and editor must all have been dead for at least seventy complete years.
- The work must have been published prior to 1923.
For example, our version of Handel's opera Giulio Cesare (HWV 17) was edited by Friedrich Chrysander, and the source edition was published in 1875. Handel died in 1759, and Chrysander died in 1901, so this edition is in the public domain. More information about these rules is available on the Wikipedia Public Domain page.
Incidentally, it is worth remembering that some older editions are heavily edited and can be rather error prone. For all new contributions we insist that you tell us the source you used when transcribing the music. This is to ensure as far as possible that all contributions are from public domain sources. Note that contributions listing a facsimile/reproduction source are discouraged as they may have additional legal complications. If you spot any possible copyright violations, please let us know.
It is up to the contributor to decide what terms the music is released under. The three possibilities are described on the license details page. By submitting music to Mutopia, you are declaring that you have the legal right to release the work under the terms chosen.
Why LilyPond?
LilyPond (lilypond.org) is free in the sense that you don't have to pay for it, and also that the source code is available for you to look at, recompile and even improve. It is available for both Unix-like operating systems (eg. Linux, Mac OS X) as well as Windows. If you have already entered music in another free typesetting program then it may be possible to convert it into LilyPond format. Check LilyPond's documentation for more information.
Proofread/Check Music
If you find any errors in the music on Mutopia, please send us an e-mail (<contributions (at) MutopiaProject.org>). Simply describe the mistake in as much detail as necessary. We will check the error and correct the version on Mutopia. No technical knowledge of LilyPond is required, although if you want to supply an updated .ly file you are welcome to do so.
The same goes for mistakes or inconsistencies in the metadata (eg. piece title, composer, opus, etc.) on Mutopia. If you spot any problems, please do let us know. They are easily corrected.
Update LilyPond Syntax
One of the goals of Mutopia is not only to provide free sheet music of high quality, but to enable people to make their own arrangements, transpositions or editions of that sheet music with the minimum of difficulty. This is made challenging by the fact that LilyPond is not entirely backwards compatible with .ly files produced for earlier versions. Although those earlier versions remain available for free, they don't always run easily on modern operating systems.
Consequently, it is helpful if experienced LilyPond users could help us update some of the files in Mutopia which use very old versions of LilyPond. This also allows pieces to take advantage of the improvements in LilyPond's rendering over the last few years. If you are willing and able to do so, please get in touch. Searching for music by LilyPond version is possible from the advanced search page.

The Globe's Gordon Edes quotes Dr. Craig Morgan as saying the treatment prescribed by the Red Sox -- and which Schilling has now agreed to follow -- has no chance of success:
If [the Sox' plan] was successful, I think it would be the greatest thing known to man. But, unfortunately, that's not the case. That's like wishing for the best-case scenario. Wishing isn't going to make it happen. Within a week or two of the cortisone shot, he's unable to exercise due to pain, then it's over.Edes also reports that the Red Sox, thinking that Schilling's shoulder would not stand up to the rigors of a full season, initially proposed that he sign a half-season contract, and pitch about 100 innings. Schilling said no to that idea.

by Hugh Gilmore
After failing to learn Spanish by watching "Sabado Gigante" on Univision every Saturday night for years, I broke down and admitted that I'd learn more if I took a course somewhere. Some books written in Spanish had never been translated to English. If I wanted to read them I'd have to learn the language.
And the same necessity applied if I wanted to watch Spanish movies and not miss half the action because my eyes were following the subtitles. I'd failed to learn Spanish the easy, casual, TV-watching way. I'd need to go back to school.
Admission of helplessness is always a necessary first step. Congratulations, Senor, but where will you take this course? That question occurred to me in early July. I started investigating by going to Google and typing in: "learn Spanish language Philadelphia." That helped narrow down the choices to 3,960,000 possible websites.
An hour or so spent browsing led me to think that no area school, institute, academy, or even private tutor operating out of the back of a lunch truck, offered Spanish 101 during July or August. Since it wouldn't be wise (for me, at least) to start at the 102, 201 or higher levels, I'd just have to wait for September. Waiting was not easy because I was pretty hepped up to get going.
In the meantime, I still had to find a place that offered Intro Spanish. Because I am old and lazy, hate being inconvenienced and never want to do homework again, I established the following criteria for the school: It had to be near my house, meet at least weekly, be taught by a competent teacher, and muy importante – cheap. I called Mary Zell at the Chestnut Hill Center for Enrichment.
"Sorry," Mary said. "We won't be offering Spanish in the fall."
So much for the close-to-home aspect.
Meanwhile, financially speaking, how much was a course in Spanish worth to me? The area's universities charge between $1,500 (Arcadia U.) and $4,500 (U. of P.) a course a semester. And I'd probably need at least four semesters to learn enough Spanish to do what I'd like to be able to do: read written Spanish and comprehend spoken Spanish. (I have no hopes to ever be able to speak it out loud, or with my head held higher than a pillow.)
Hence, if I took Spanish at the college level, I'd need to spend somewhere between $6,000 and $18,000 over two years. Too much money.
Philadelphia and Montgomery Community Colleges charge a saner rate of about $500 a part-time course (including fees), so that seemed where I was headed. My only hesitations came from not liking the commute and being reluctant as a writer and businessman to commit blocks of daytime that I was sure would eventually conflict with my regular life.
They do offer night courses, I know, but night commutes seem even more daunting. They remind me of how I spent my thirties – pursuing my master's degree in the dark. A morning course somewhere, probably CCP, seemed just the ticket.
By the way, you might well ask: aren't there a lot of YouTube clips that offer language instruction? Yes, of course. You wouldn't believe the range of what I've seen – everything from wonderfully helpful to downright wacky, with a lot of weird incompetence in between. And the Free Library of Philadelphia has a wide range of CDs and DVDs one can borrow.
But I wanted to be in a class so I could hear the language spoken directly to my ear, hear people struggling to get their pronunciation correct and have a teacher correct me immediately whenever I began speaking my own private, unshared, language. Being a person who spends a lot of time learning on his own, I also found the idea of a group effort, led by a teacher, very appealing.
That was my dinner research report while my wife, Janet, and I were at Hokka Hokka one August night this summer with our friends Edith and Richard Stetser. Edith is the mainstay of Arcadia University's French department, in addition to being the world's number one holder of useful information.
"Cheltenham Township Adult School," Edith said, "and the classes are usually very good."
And so, for a measly $78.00, I enrolled for ten Monday evening sessions. The course catalog description said that students should show up for class with their copies of "Spanish Now, Level 1," by Ruth Silverstein.
Our teacher would be Jonathan Needham, Ph.D., a graduate of Middlebury College, well known for its excellent language programs. I was keenly looking forward to my new experience.
Came the night for the first class, I arrived fifteen minutes early, a bit nervous but eager to learn. I hadn't been on the students' side of the desk for any subject since around 1980. What would the teacher be like? Would
I enjoy being in a class? Why were the other people taking this class?
El Profesor said hello in Spanish, ¡Hola!, took roll, closed the door, and then began to instigate the most terrifying hour and a half I've spent in years.
(To be continued …)

This year several elementary school teachers--mainly Writing Project teachers--from California, Colorado, Mississippi, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Oregon, and the Philippines sent each other podcasts and poetry and responses on a weblog, Youth Radio: Connecting Youth Voices to the World. These teachers have created a space where young writers and voices can connect with news stories about their communities, their schools and their interests!
That's all fine, but on this webcast Paul Allison and Lee Baber talked to two of the teachers behind this project, Glen Bledsoe and Kevin Hodgson. We never got to the student work because we spent the entire time learning more about each of these teachers as musicians and creative people outside of the classroom.
It's fascinating to hear the differences between the music that Lee and Glen share with us, and to imagine Kevin's sax! Yet what we all share is a passion for living creative, passionate lives in and out of the classroom.
We had a great time together, and we invite you listen in.

The Book of Leviticus (Greek;Λευιτικός /"Relating to the Levites), [1] is the third book of Moses and the Old Testament. The English title, Leviticus, comes from the Latin Vulgate version of the Greek OT (Septuagint, LXX) Leuticon meaning "matters of the Levites" (25:32, 33). Whilest the book addresses issues of the Levite's responsibilities, much more significantly, all the priests are instructed in how they are to assist the people in worship and the people are informed on how to lead a holy life.
The Book of Leviticus is quoted in the New Testament on 15 occassions.
Leviticus contains extremely specific details of the laws and priestly rituals. The first 16 chapters and the last chapter make up the Priestly Code, with rules for ritual cleanliness, sin-offerings, and the Day of Atonement, including Chapter 12 which mandates male circumcision. Chapters 17-26 contain the Holiness Code, including the injunction in chapter 19 to "love one's neighbor as oneself" as later confirmed by Jesus in the Gospels. The book is largely concerned with "abominations", largely dietary and sexual restrictions. The rules are generally addressed to the Israelites, except for the prohibition in chapter 20 against sacrificing children to Molech, which applies equally to "the strangers that sojourn in Israel."
Authorship and writing
Christian and Jewish tradition holds that God dictated the Book of Leviticus to Moses as He did the other Books of the Law [2]
The authorship and date issues are resolved in the verse: "These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai" (27:34; cf. 7:38; 25:1 and 26:46). In the bible, the fact that God gives these laws to Moses appears 56 times in Leviticus. In addition to recording detailed prescriptions, this book chronicles several historical accounts relating to the laws [3] The Exodus is dated to have occured ca. 1445 BC and the tabernacle is estimated to have finished one year later [4] Leviticus picks up the record from Exodus, it is likely that this was revealed in the first month (Abib/Nisan) of the second year afte the Exodus. So, the Book of Numbers beings after that in the second month (Ziv; cf. Num 1:1).
Modern scholarship sees the Bookf o Leviticus as a product of the Priestly source and therefore dates it to the fifth century BC.
Major Theme
Points to develop:
- How to have access to God through appropriate worship and
- How to be spiritually acceptable to God through an obedient walk.
Even though the book contains a great deal of law, it is presented in a historical format. Immediately after Moses supervised the construction of the tabernacle, God came in glory to dwell there; this marks the close of the book of Exodus (40:38).
There is no geographical movement of the people of Israel. They are situated at the foot of Sinai, the mountain where God came down to give His law (25:1; 26:46 and 27:34). They are still there
- Laws pertaining to Sacrficice
- Beginnings of the Priesthood
- Prescriptions for Uncleanness

2014 vs. 2015 Nissan Murano - Styling Showdown
One of the Original Crossovers Gets a Reboot
Since its introduction, the Nissan Murano has had a reputation for avant-garde styling, with the 2003 model having a surprisingly sleek shape and profile compared to the generally much boxier offerings of its competitors at the time. The second-generation model that debuted for the '09 model year was more of an evolutionary step rather than the radical segment-shaker the original was. The one exception was the controversial CrossCabriolet, a model considered by many to be an answer to a question nobody asked. The 2015 Nissan Murano is probably the biggest styling change since the model's introduction more than 10 years ago.
Looking back at the Resonance concept, it's clear that show car was a relatively thinly disguised preview of the next Nissan Murano. The sheetmetal is not quite as aggressively creased, and it has "real" door handles, but aside from those details, the '15 Murano brings most of the Resonance's details to the showroom. With the smaller Juke finding a surprisingly receptive audience, Nissan decided to get a little more aggressive (but not too aggressive) with the new Murano's styling. Nissan's now-signature "boomerang" lights front and rear are present on the Nissan Murano, which flank the front "V-Motion" grille, which is also a signature styling element on the recently introduced 2014 Nissan Rogue. Without a doubt, the '15 model's front and rear styling is significantly more aggressive than its predecessor. Likewise, the sculpting of the doors and fenders is much more pronounced on the '15, with its predecessor just having relatively subdued arches over the wheelwells.
In contrast to the chiseled exterior, the interior of the 2015 Nissan Murano is more refined, with more rounded sculpting and shapes, a larger center display screen, and a significant reduction in the number of physical button controls. The '15 model also sees the addition of woodgrain accent trim in the cabin, in contrast to the silver-painted plastic of last year's model, giving it a more luxurious look.
One constant that has been part of the Nissan Murano since its introduction is the powertrain combination of Nissan's well-proven VQ35DE 3.5L V-6 mated to Nissan's ubiquitous CVT automatic. Output is unchanged on the 2015 model at 260 hp and 240 lb-ft, but Nissan claims fuel economy gains of as much as 20 percent thanks to powertrain calibration refinements, better aerodynamics, and a lighter overall curb weight.
We think Nissan struck the right balance between aggression and elegance with the 2015 Nissan Murano, giving it enough distinctiveness to stand out from the crowd, without being so in your face as to be off-putting to its target audience. What do you think of the 2015 Nissan Murano's styling?

Houston coach Kubiak collapses at halftime, Texans lead Colts 24-12 after 3 quarters
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
HOUSTON – Houston coach Gary Kubiak collapsed leaving the field at halftime of the Texans' game Sunday night against Indianapolis and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Kubiak hunched over and dropped to his knees at the 24 yard line and was immediately surrounded by medical personnel. He was lifted off the field on a stretcher and taken by cart to the ambulance.
The Texans didn't say what was wrong with Kubiak, but did say he didn't have a heart attack. The team said the 52-year-old coach was conscious and was with his family as he was taken to the hospital.
Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips took over as coach in the second half.
The Texans led the Colts 24-12 at the end of the third quarter.
Kubiak's collapse came a day after Denver Broncos coach John Fox was hospitalized in North Carolina as he awaits aortic value replacement surgery. The 58-year-old Fox will have surgery in a few days and will miss several weeks while recuperating.
Fox had been told earlier about his heart condition and was hoping to put off the operation until February. As part of his trip to North Carolina over the Broncos' bye week, he met with his cardiologist in Raleigh and was told to seek medical attention immediately if he felt any discomfort. On Saturday, Fox became dizzy playing golf near his offseason home in Charlotte and was taken to a hospital, where tests revealed he couldn't wait any longer to have surgery.
The Colts scored nine points in the third quarter, highlighted by a 10-yard TD pass from Andrew Luck to T.Y. Hilton on a third-and-10 to make it 24-12.
Adam Vinatieri kicked field goals of 30 and 35 yards in the second and third quarters for the Colts, who struggled offensively.
Case Keenum threw three touchdown passes to Andre Johnson for Houston, the last a 5-yarder with 39 seconds left. The TD came after Keenum scrambled 22 yards for a first down.
In the first quarter Keenum, making his second career start, connected on a 62-yard scoring pass to Andre Johnson on the third play of the game, and added a 41-yarder with 4:21 left. It marked the first time since 2010 that Johnson caught two TD passes in a game.
The Colts were playing their first game since losing star receiver Reggie Wayne for the season. Wayne tore his right ACL in an Oct. 20 win over Denver and had surgery.
Texans running back Arian Foster, who missed practice earlier in the week with a hamstring injury, left late in the quarter with a back injury and the team said he wouldn't return.

Insurers are finding themselves on the back foot with the variety of powerful new forces at play.
There is a solution—in a word, it's customer-centricity. But attaining it is difficult, especially for insurers that are impeded by siloed organizations, inflexible legacy systems, and business and operating models that are centered on the corporation or its products.
This report takes a comprehensive view of the new business context and the need for customer-centricity. It examines the digital enablers of customer-centricity, and suggests the steps insurers should take on their transformation journey—tackling the inevitable conceptual and execution challenges along the way.

Upgrading a CPU (part 2)
Intel CPU Overview, Motherboard Compatibility
In part 1 I attempted to help navigate the tangled thickets of AMD processors, figure out if a CPU upgrade without upgrading the motherboard is worth it, and what to get. Today I'll give a quick review of Intel processors, and then dive into how to remove an old CPU and install a new one.
A reader kindly informed me that in part 1 I neglected to discuss server CPUs. It's been awhile since I had to think about server CPUs, so that will have to wait for another article. I'm going to ignore mobile processors as well, for the time being, and continue talking about desktop processors.
Intel Processors
Like AMD, Intel has several different processor lines, but it's simpler to figure out what Intel CPU goes with which motherboard.
There are three different motherboard socket types for the current generations of Intel processors: LGA 775, LGA 1366 and LGA 1156. Sockets LGA 1366 and LGA 1156 are the newest generations.
Socket LGA 775 is also known as Socket T. LGA stands for "Land Grid Array." It supports these CPUs:
- Celeron Dual-Core
- Pentium 4
- Pentium Dual-Core
- Core 2 Duo
- Core 2 Quad
Some older motherboards may not support Pentium D or Core 2 Duo CPUs. The Intel Processors and Boards Compatibility Tool is helpful, though it only includes Intel motherboards.
LGA 1156 supports:
- Core i3
- Core i5
- Core i7
These are all dual- or quad-core CPUs. Socket LGA 1366 supports only i7 processors.
Chances are you aren't thinking of upgrading an i-series CPU because they're so new, but if you are your options are simple. If you have a board older than Socket 775, you might as well go for a new board and CPU.
The price range from the Celeron dual-cores to the hotrod i7s is vast, from around $50 to over $1,000.
Prerequisites to a CPU Upgrade
You will need an anti-static mat to lay parts on, and a wrist grounding strap. Static electricity is the mortal enemy of electronics; these are cheap and easy insurance. You will also need isopropyl alcohol or special cleaning fluid made to clean off thermal paste, a plastic putty knife, and some clean microfiber cloths.
You may need to upgrade to a better CPU cooler. The stock coolers that come in the retail packaged processors are usually adequate. The better aftermarket coolers are quieter, and cool to a lower temperature. The better air coolers are big, so make sure you have enough room. Water coolers are wonderful, very quiet, small, and have the most cooling power, but they are also the most expensive.
Many aftermarket heatsinks have complicated mounting brackets that require removing the motherboard, so buyer beware.
Always read your product instructions! Your product manufacturer knows quite a bit more about the right way to do these things than your average random Internet dweeb.

In 2009, Lay's potato chips started an advertising revolution and brought its potato growers into the spotlight. Ads for Ocean Spray cranberry juice feature "farmers," but are those guys real farmers or actors? A new campaign from McDonald's features real-life farmers and ranchers who actually supply food to the restaurant chain. In mid-December, McDonald's chief marketing officer, Neil Golden, tweeted from @McDListenTour, "1 thing we're doing is telling our farm 2 fork story abt our foods. Ads debut in Jan." On Jan. 2, McDonald's launched a series of ads featuring three of its "third-party suppliers," according to Ad Age. Dirk Giannini (no relation to the author), a lettuce grower in California; Frank Martinez, a Washington potato grower; and Steve Foglesong, a beef producer in Illinois, are each featured in a series of web and print ads in magazines such as Cooking Light and a television ad that can be viewed on YouTube and the McDonald's website. All of the ads highlight the freshness of McDonald's products, but each farmer offers an additional unique perspective. Martinez's ads focus on the opportunities that farming in America has afforded his family. Giannini's ads center on stewardship, and Foglesong's ads focus on multigenerational farming. Will consumers, influenced by previous ads claiming to feature farmers, believe that Giannini, Martinez and Foglesong are the real thing? Many of our Facebook followers didn't believe Martinez was a real potato grower when we posted his TV commercial prior to the launch of the ad campaign. Truth be told, Martinez is a real potato farmer, Giannini's family has been growing lettuce in the Salinas Valley for four generations and Foglesong is a former president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. Will consumers believe the farmer angle or will they see the ads as simply a sustainability promotion by McDonald's? Back to news

Southern hospitality turned out to be key on CBS's wildly popular Survivor: The Australian Outback, as the final two contestants spoke with soft drawls and took a much more hospitable approach than devious Richard Hatch, the Machiavellian winner of the first Survivor series.
Tina Wesson, a tiny, 40-year-old nurse from Tennessee, emerged victorious over Texan heartthrob Colby Donaldson, 27. Wesson, who was proclaimed the $1 million winner live at the CBS studios in Los Angeles tonight, was chosen by seven of the last castaways voted off the show.
Four members of the jury wanted Wesson to get the prize, while three voted for Donaldson.
The mother of two, who was extremely emaciated after 42 days in the rugged Outback, said she planned to use her prize money to pay off her home and her best friend's home, and to establish a charity fund with the remainder.
"I think I have evolved," Wesson wrote in her journal at the start of tonight's three-hour episode. "I have developed into more of a strategist."
Surprisingly, Wesson was not even supposed to be on the show. It was revealed during Survivor's post-finale reunion segment that she was originally an alternate and only found out she was going to Australia two weeks prior to the scheduled start date. "My husband kept telling me, 'Honey, they'll call,'" Wesson remembered.
Runner-up Donaldson, whom many expected to emerge as the grand prize winner, took home $100,000.
"Trusting people in this game will get you in trouble," Donaldson said at the beginning of the finale. He could have come out on top, had he not made the fatal mistake of choosing Wesson as his final co-competitor (over Michigan chef Keith Famie) at the group's last tribal council.
Like the first Survivor series, the winner was kept secret until the final show. To ensure against a media leak, CBS kept the final votes sealed in a locked container until host Jeff Probst counted them live on TV.

When retired Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis was informed that he had lost $3.778 million through unauthorized investments made on his behalf without his permission, his reaction was predictable.
"Ray was shocked and surprised," said Andrew Kagan, Lewis' lawyer.
Lewis and former Ravens linebacker Tavares Gooden are part of a group of 16 current and former players who have filed a lawsuit against BB&T Bank for almost $60 million allegedly lost through unauthorized bank transfers made by BankAtlantic, which was later acquired by BB&T, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by The Baltimore Sun.
Gooden allegedly lost $515,000 through an unauthorized bank transfer.
"Ray had no idea this was going on," Kagan said Friday in a telephone interview. "A lot of them had no idea this was going on until we sat them down and went over the bank records. Ray and Tavares were both very shocked and surprised by what happened.
"Ray doesn't want to talk to the media at this time. At the end of the day, my goal is to make my clients as whole as possible. Hopefully, we can make that happen."
Kagan said no court dates have been set and no depositions have been scheduled yet.
"It's probably going to take a little while to hear back from the court," he said. "That will happen in due time."
The lawsuit involves the players accusing the bank of allowing disgraced financial advisor Jeff Rubin and his former firm, Pro Sports Financial, to open accounts in their names and place tens of millions of dollars in unauthorized investments without their permission.
"This didn't happen at BB&T," BB&T vice president of corporate communications David White said. "Unfortunately, we inherited the responsibility for it when we acquired BankAtlantic. Because this is pending litigation, we cannot comment further."
The majority of the money went to a failed casino bingo project in Alabama that was deemed illegal under Alabama law in July of 2012. Rubin has been banned from the securities industry.
The lawsuit alleges that the bank developed a "close business relationship with Pro Sports, Rubin and other Pro Sports employees," including a special division "dedicated to targeting and servicing athletes and others in the sports industry."
The lawsuit alleged that BankAtlantic allowed: "unusual, suspicious and extraordinary withdrawals from accounts opened in the name of each plaintiff that were neither within the scope of the service identified in the client services agreement nor authorized by the plaintiff in whose name the account was opened. BB&T had actual knowledge that certain transactions on the plaintiffs' accounts were unauthorized and exceeded the scope of the plaintiffs' client service agreements with Pro Sports."
Kagan characterized the situation as a true cautionary tale but emphasized that it's hard to say what could have been done to avoid what happened to the players.
"Everyone can learn by seeing what happens to other people," Kagan said. "In the end, nothing could prevent this other than the bank doing their job in a proper manner. There's nothing you can do if money is allowed to be wired out of accounts without permission.
"With all the banking controls, you would never expect this. ... This affects so many people because the players have families and are active in their various communities. It hurts everyone, unfortunately."

So, now I'm Knight. And I promise to give you the maximum
Again greet you all with my regular column. If the NHL started in time, as it should, at this time I would be going overseas and the season in Dallas. But those plans thwarted lockout and no one knows when the league gets going again.
On the one hand, I am sorry, because at my age it is a pity everyone match that of the NHL come. And then there will be no fun to jump into it again. But nothing can be done, I take it as reality. You always need to think positive, so I am pleased that I can get on some time for our Knights. About no other options during the lockout, I even considered, it is clear.
And now we have ahead of Wednesday's match at the O2 Arena against Slavia. What I know, was just the ticket on Monday great interest, which I'm obviously very happy. Everywhere erodes, that in 2004 the hall was sold out and everyone is curious to see if this works again. Yeah, I should happy about it, but there was nothing ahead guaranteed. I am a realist. Moreover, not Crosby or Malkin, with them it would be easier ...
Anyway, will be great when fans arrive as much as possible. When we then Sazka Arena played eight years ago, we were guests as Kladno. This time we will be home, so we can accommodate more than just our fans. And because we did, we want to indulge in comfort. And I can promise them that we as Knights to give the maximum. Mainly it will be an experience for our younger players who have never had the chance to play in front of so many people.
Probably from me waiting for enough people, well let's see ... The fact is that I do not consider themselves the only preparatory match for Overseas regulím I could not get on. But there's nothing you can do about it. I know that I hand maximum. And if it be enough? That's another thing ...
It is true that I had in the last few days a lot of worries.
The biggest problem is the incredibly high fuse. When I learned the amounts that nearly had me omejvat. For our budget figures are huge, so we were worried that we do not somehow able to solve.
We face off against Slavia, I want to thank that has been very accommodating. Like other teams, which are still at the O2 Arena will compete. It should take against us and Cervus (Roman Cervenka), so I wonder what his show. At least see if it got to worry when we compete against each other in the NHL.
I must still return to a Saturday event looking for new Knight, which we organized together with the people of Sport. I must say that I loved it and I came upon it on a completely different idea. When one sees that makes children happy, it gives it a lot of energy. And right now there a lot of need. So once again congratulations to winners, but not only them. Thanks to all who came. I was really pleasantly surprised at how many talented children there appeared.
On the Web iSport.cz then I saw claimed in interviews that they will from that moment, what with me zatrénovaly, more at home practicing. One thing is what they say about someone with a microphone in hand, but the main thing is to make them last. And now comes the important role of parents is to cleverly and positively motivated.
On Wednesday at the O2 Arena in sight! And then of course on Friday with us at Kladno.

Jagr is with you, not as hockey player in America for lockout but happily in possession of Jagr's stolen properties which were taken from Jagr by darebák Kevin Constantine some months ago. Very strange to Jagr, very close personal friend Mario Lemieux does not aid Jagr in tracking thief to Montreal even with Jagr's assurances that such deeds would encourage Jagr to perhaps return to play for Pittsburgh in some future time. Instead Constantine himself contacts Jagr, seeking to return zbytečný Jan but also willing to give other Jagr's things back if Jagr paint his garage for some reason. Obviously Jagr does not wish to do this, but very much wanted goods returned and so Jagr throw Kip's still-broken body (make reparations for your war crimes, terorista Crosby!) into paints and sort of roll him around garage, finish rychle with only minor inconvenience of Kip's ustavičný screaming in pains.
Jagr very pleased to possess former clipped hairs again, also Furby and other items, however this is great problem also. Jagr's insurance company now want returned the US $17 millions that Jagr value all items at, simply because items are no longer gone! What kind of hovadina is this? Jagr's compliance in this is not even possible, because day after insurance check arrives Jagr places $17 millions bet on keno at Tropicana Atlantic City, Jagr needs big win to pay various věřitelé, but amazingly Jagr does not become victorious in this. Even worse, Constantine insist on returning Jan along with stolen items, so Jagr is now again responsible for providing floor space and toilet for both Jan and Kip (even though Jagr does not wish this in any way), and without checks from National Leagues Hockey of Dallas this is simply not possible. This insurance company will have to eat its own junk.
Hasan and end at the top? I do not accept it, with nothing nehazardoval
This time I can not write about anything other than Dominik Hasek, who finally ended the career. This is the main home - hat off to what he could. It is one of the best goalkeepers in the history and in the world of Czech hockey incredibly famous.
I will never forget how fielded at the Olympics in Nagano. For me, no one never fails to shine as an individual in this collective sport. It was incredible.
His career in the NHL was amazing, even though overseas came later in life, thus forcing others to change their style. It was an incredibly powerful that can read the game. Quickly analyze everything and immediately decided what to do.
It would be useless to repeat what has had successes. Rather, I stopped at present, and that in the NHL, I do not find any team. Honestly - for bosses clubs is terribly difficult question goalkeeper, the goalkeeper is the only one. If you took the attacker and clicks it, nothing happens. So do the defenders. But with the goalie? That's the trouble, if it does not work. Therefore, every careful.
The owner of the club must consider all the circumstances. That is why I now need to Kladno during the lockout did not Ondra Pavelce, even though I know it's great. We gave Honza Chabera confidence, because we know how it is very sensitive, if you do post on this change.
Hasan would go to the farm, but also there is a problem. On farms they want to give a chance to younger, to get the full experience. Because how else are they to get over the fact that they catch?
It is clear that Hasan got huge respect. And I certainly do not agree with voices that gambling with your name, making several return. These speeches are stupid. Or, it should be at the top end. Why? If it were so, it would be like one who is over twenty-five years, he did not have the right to live? When properly man knows that it is on top?
When he likes something, why should not it do next? Have to worry about what to say to others? I do not accept this. It is like when someone walks in his youth like to go through the forest and suddenly at the age would have said it was him at the feet hurt terribly, you'd better not go anywhere. After all, that's ****. He loved hockey, gave him everything.
Just be sure to not go somewhere to skate. When he felt he could turn very well prepared, and find out if it is not a concern, why not do it? In addition, he after many times already announced the end of their careers, something always won. Maybe last won the title with Pardubice, when he was 45 years old. That's a wonderful thing.
I take this view: It's always better to go on the ice with the fact that I was a little worse than the other, than sitting in a pub and making clever as I used to be good in the past. So I'm not surprised that it still wanted to continue, when it felt.
Hasan you probably did not want to wait, so decided this. Ends. Which certainly can not erase what hockey did. For all this he must be applauded.

Im a bit new to this, I have a class requiring the use of BlueJ, I found the portable version on SourceForge and would like to have it run from the USB but as it requires the JDK. I am having very little success, I have tried installing it to the USB (Both BlueJ and JDK) created a bat file setting the path to the bin folder then tried running BlueJ but yet to no avail. The portable app works on any machine with the JDK installed, is there any way of redirecting paths via windows or the portable app itself so it looks for the Java libraries on the USB stick?
any help would be appreciated.
