text: Well now this is a weird story and to get it all in I should start from the beginning. First about two weeks ago my phone died and i went to plug it in and would only go to the bootloader screen. Tried many times and finally went to boot thought nothing of it really just kinda pushed it off as no big deal. Now this time it happened again did the same thing as before and managed to get the phone to boot no big deal. Then powered the phone down later that day cause i had to go into a place and the volume button wouldn't work to reduce the ringer (thinking this is where my problem is but i will go on). Tried to reboot and was simply stuck at M. I thought this is weird working earlier today not stuck. Tried to boot into recovery impossible. Then im like damnet something must have messed up. I SBF to stock and still same result. Now just by playing around im messing with the volume and camera button at boot and i manage to get it to boot. So i proceed to use this to boot the next few times. Rerooting and putting a new rom on. Last night however the phone died and I managed to get myself into the same problem. No recovery but can get into boot loader. Now my question would be if the volume down button is malfunctioning or the volume up would that possible cause this problem. Since holding the volume up button can put you into the bootloader. Then if this switch was malfunctioning at some instance then in fact good the volume down button prevent booting? My next step would be to tear the phone apart and see if the there is something obstructing it or if its just broken. I have no problem tearing it apart im up for an upgrade im just trying to make it last time Galaxy nexus. Any input on the situation is helpful and I thank all in advance. Edit: Tore the phone down and found the metal on the volume down key had fallen off. So I put the phone back together with the volume key out of it and used a flat head to make a connection on the two contacts of the button ... still say result. Im out of ideas now and really don't know what to do. Do I try to sbf again and see if it accomplishes anything or do i buy a parts phone and make some switches on components? ANY ideas are helpful... Thanks

It appears George Zimmerman's attorneys may not be using the "Stand Your Ground" law in his defense after all in his trial for the 2012 shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.
His legal team decided yesterday to skip an immunity hearing where the "Stand Your Ground" defense would be heard that was slated for April.
The defense argues it's because they don't have time to prepare for the "Stand Your Ground" hearing and the trial.
"We don't have time … to spend two weeks or so" on an immunity hearing, O'Mara said outside a Sanford court Tuesday morning. "Our focus is to get [Zimmerman] to a jury and get acquitted."
Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder, but under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, he is entitled to immunity if he can prove he shot and killed Martin Feb. 26, 2012 in self defense. If self defense were determined, all criminal proceedings would have to stop, and Zimmerman would walk free.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain, says he shot the 17-year-old in self-defense after he saw the young man acting suspiciously in his neighborhood in Sanford, Florida. An April 22 hearing was expected to determine whether Florida's self-defense laws shielded him from prosecution.
But Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara told a judge Tuesday that he didn't need time in April for pretrial motions. He told reporters that he could still file a motion for immunity when the trial begins June 10, or later if a civil case arises.
Zimmerman's defense appeared to question the credibility of a teenage girl, identified only as Witness 8, who claims she was on the phone with Martin just moments before he was shot.
Witness 8 told authorities that Martin told her that he was scared of a strange man following him. She also said that that after hearing the shooting over Martin's phone, she was hospitalized for trauma, but she admitted later to prosecutors that she had not.

Mid-Market Mall Plan Continues to Move Forward
The Board of Supervisors voted 9-0 Tuesday to reject an appeal of the project's environmental review, drawing praise from supporters who say the glass-fronted mall, known as CityPlace, is exactly what's needed to transform the area plagued by crime, empty storefronts and homelessness.
The proposed CityPlace is a five-story, 90-foot-tall building with 375,700 gross square feet, of which about 260,000 will be used for retail, at 935-965 Market St. between Fifth and Sixth streets.
"The Board of Supervisors did the right thing for the Central Market neighborhood and for our entire city by rejecting the appeal of the CityPlace environmental review," Mayor Gavin Newsom said in a released
"By approving CityPlace today, San Francisco took another major step toward transforming the Central Market neighborhood and restoring Market Street to its original role as our city's 'Main Street.'"

Magnet motor line uses permanent magnets
Marathon Electric magnet motor line, SyMax was introduced at the EASA Convention in Denver, Colo. The SyMax motor uses a permanent magnet design that makes it more efficient than a traditional induction motor, the company said.
Dean Nienhuis, Marathon Electric director of marketing, said, "The combination of magnets and motors will provide increased efficiencies and advanced control features."
Currently there are two SyMax models available – SyMax FHP (NEMA 48 frame) and SyMax IHP (182-215T frame). This series of motors incorporates a radial flux design, which reportedly delivers high torque, high efficiency and increased power density, providing system maximization and the potential to eliminate sheaves and belts, gearboxes and chains in certain applications. SyMax also features the patented Max Guard insulation system and IP54+ rated enclosures for long motor life in strenuous environments.
SyMax-i FHP has IntelliDrive, an embedded electronic control system with proprietary algorithms allowing the power to be easily controlled while maintaining a high efficiency level. It is expected to be available later this year.

The unthinkable happened over the weekend: A deal between the U.S. (and other world powers) and Iran. The winners and losers of the preliminary deal, in which Iran agreed to stop producing near-weapons grade uranium in exchange for a reduction of some sanctions, were becoming pretty apparent across markets Monday morning. However, some may be just knee-jerk reactions, analysts caution.
\"More difficult will be the process to reshape bi-lateral relations while virtually every regional player in the Middle East seeks ways to cope with an Iran that\'s no longer geopolitically encumbered,\" says Stratfor, a Texas-based forecasting firm.
Here\'s a quick rundown of who is winning and who is losing and why:
Oil: WTI crude is down around $1.40 to under $94 a barrel and Brent is down $1.81 to $109.22 a barrel.
Oil and Iran: In a nutshell, the deal opens up prospects for a bigger deal down the road, and eventually Iranian oil could come flowing back through global markets, crushing that supply curve. Already, it looks like oil shipments from Iran to China, India, South Korea and Japan could be increased after the EU plans to loosen a ban that kept European insurers from insuring oil shipments from Iran. In addition, a further tightening of U.S. oil sanctions against Iran should be off the table, say analysts at Commerzbank. Hedgeye\'s Keith McCullough says Brent has medium-term downside to $85 a barrel. However, JCB Energy says don\'t crazy on shorting oil futures \"on the basis of a reduced global risk premium,\" because that existing embargo on Iranian crude is not going anywhere. Crude exports will remain almost 1.5 million b/d below levels seen in 2011. Goldman Sachs also says the immediate impact of this deal remains limited, even with an ease of that ban on shipping insurance, largely because of that crude-export level staying unchanged, at least for now. Read also how Goldman is bearish on lots of commodities for next year.
Gold: Down about $14 to $1,230 an ounce, gold is getting kicked, dropping toward levels not seen since the summer.
Gold and Iran: The biggest factor that has gold on the run is the removal of a major geopolitical risk: a Middle East war involving Iran. \"Gold and oil have to be de-risked now that no war is imminent, the price of both will show a removal of the war premium,\" says Yves Lamoureux, of market advisory firm Lamoureux & Co. Even more, it could lead to a \"bear trap,\" he says. If oil gets and stays below $90, that will spook a lot of other markets, causing bears to pile on dropping assets, \'trapping\' investors, he explains. Gold wasn\'t having a great time of it before the Iran deal broke. Last week marked gold\'s biggest loss in 10 weeks on increased taper chatter.
Dollar: Hit a six-month high against the Japanese yen on Monday.
Iran and dollar: The dollar has peeled back some overnight gains, but it\'s still higher across the board, with Iran playing into things. The surprise deal has pushed oil prices lower, and cheaper oil prices are viewed as good for growth. That has helped equity markets, with stock futures up, and the greenback is catching some of that tailwind against the yen, a currency where investors go in times of extreme worry. Away from the dollar, watch for continued pressure on commodity-sensitive currencies, like the Australian and Canadian dollars, says analysts at Societe Generale. Simon Smith of FxPro says the Iran deal isn\'t necessarily a big win for the dollar, which has gained as the yen has largely taken the brunt of the falling safe-haven premium, and the euro has weakened on more talk from ECB officials. He says there are \"many hurdles to this temporary deal becoming permanent.\"
Equities: So far, so good. Stock futures are up, as investors seem to liken it when a Black Swan like Middle East warfare goes away.
Stocks and Iran: If oil prices are lower, that\'s ultimately good for stocks, because cheaper oil can help growth. And if companies want to see earnings rise after falling or holding stable, then increased growth is needed, says Nordea strategist Henrik Drusebjerg.
Here\'s an even more optimistic assessment from Anthony Samaha of forexsurvivor.com:
\"I believe the world will change 180 degrees after that deal – mainly after June 2014 when Syria war is off. It is a relief to peace builders (real estate, energies, commodities) while it would be devastated for the war portfolio such as technology and defense sectors,\" says Samaha.
Some airlines and travel stocks in Europe were gaining, boosted by lower oil prices, while oil majors were under some pressure, something that could be repeated in the U.S. at least on Monday. Otherwise, Fed tapering timing continues to matter most for investors.

Modern Universities
The end of the medieval period marked the beginning of the transformation of universities that would eventually result in the modern research university. Many external influences, such as eras of humanism, Enlightenment, Reformation, and revolution, shaped research universities during their development.
By the 18th century, universities published their own research journals, and by the 19th century, the German and the French university models had arisen. The German, or Humboldtian model, was conceived by Wilhelm von Humboldt and based on Friedrich Schleiermacher's liberal ideas pertaining to the importance of freedom, seminars, and laboratories in universities. The French university model involved strict discipline and control over every aspect of the university.
Until the 19th century, religion played a significant role in university curriculum; however, the role of religion in research universities decreased in the 19th century, and by the end of the 19th century, the German university model had spread around the world. Universities concentrated on science in the 19th and 20th centuries and become increasingly accessible to the masses. In Britain the move from industrial revolution to modernity saw the arrival of new civic universities with an emphasis on science and engineering. The British also established universities worldwide, and higher education became available to the masses not only in Europe. In a general sense, the basic structure and aims of universities have remained constant over the years.
The University of Constantinople, founded as an institution of higher learning in 425 and reorganized as a corporation of students in 849 by the regent Bardas of emperor Michael III, is considered by some to be the earliest institution of higher learning with some of the characteristics we associate today with a university (research and teaching, auto-administration, academic independence, et cetera). If a university is defined as "an institution of higher learning" then it is preceded by several others, including the Academy that it was founded to compete with and eventually replaced. If the original meaning of the word is considered "a corporation of students" then this could be the first example of such an institution.[4]
If the definition of a university is assumed to mean an institution of higher education and research which issues academic degrees at all levels (bachelor, master and doctorate) like in the modern sense of the word, then the medieval Madrasahs known as Jami'ah ("university" in Arabic) founded in the 9th century would be the first examples of such an institution.[5][6] The University of Al Karaouine in Fez, Morocco is thus recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest degree-granting university in the world with its founding in 859 by Fatima al-Fihri.[7] Also in the 9th century, Bimaristan medical schools were founded in the medieval Islamic world, where medical degrees and diplomas were issued to students of Islamic medicine who were qualified to be a practicing Doctor of Medicine.[6][8] Al-Azhar University, founded in Cairo, Egypt in 975, was a Jami'ah university which offered a variety of post-graduate degrees (Ijazah),[6] and had individual faculties[9] for a theological seminary, Islamic law and jurisprudence, Arabic grammar, Islamic astronomy, early Islamic philosophy, and logic in Islamic philosophy.

Follow Up to District Budget Meeting - May 18, 2012
Thank you to those who were able to attend yesterday's District Budget Update Meeting. For
those who missed the meeting, below are my remarks as well as Vice Chancellor Kevin
McElroy's PowerPoint presentation
Your active participation in the planning necessary to get through this fiscal crisis is appreciated!

Chancellor Thor's Budget Update – May 17, 2012
After seeing the governor's May budget revision on Monday, the senior management team felt it was important to let everyone know as soon as possible about our growing concern about the district's budget. Those administrators are here with me today.
I'd also like to recognize members of our Board of Trustees who have joined us.
We are here because we are now four years into the most serious budget crisis California has ever faced. For the past few years, we have been fortunate to have one-time dollars to close our budget deficit . Our hope was that by the time we'd exhausted those dollars, California's economy would have rebounded.
Unfortunately, that has not happened. Someday, California surely will recover. In the meantime, there is no clear end in sight to our continuing budget shortfall.
Due to a variety of still-evolving circumstances, the district must expedite planning to bring our expenses into line with our shrinking revenues. In other words, the moment we'd hoped would not arrive is here – and a little sooner than expected. We need to have a preliminary plan in place by the end of June to reduce our expenses by an additional $13 million before the end of 2012-13. That comes on top of the $4 million in cuts and position eliminations that we are implementing July 1.
What I have just laid out is the worst-case scenario. It is not unrealistic to think it may come to pass. If circumstances improve, it may be a little less severe. Still, we are compelled to plan responsibly for the worst-case scenario.
One reason we must begin preparing now is that we will not have a complete picture of our financial situation until after the November election. Waiting until after the election would not give us the time we need to work through the details of downsizing in a thoughtful and strategic way.
Governor Jerry Brown is banking on voters approving his package of sales- and income-tax increases in November to balance the 2012-13 budget. Passage of the governor's tax initiative would stave off the most brutal cuts for community colleges, public universities and K-12 schools. It takes a balanced approach to ending the state deficit. However, there is also a competing tax measure on the ballot, for which a major advertising campaign is already under way. It is backed by a wealthy civil rights attorney named Molly Munger and is endorsed by the statewide PTA. This ballot measure focuses on funding K-12 schools only. It does nothing at all for community colleges.
A recent poll showed Gov. Brown's tax proposal has only 54% voter support. The Munger initiative is polling within 1 percent of the governor's initiative. Only one of the tax measures can win. Let me emphasize: Only one of the measures can win, the one that gets the most votes, and both could lose.
If the governor's tax measure passes, it will put us closer to our best-case scenario, which Vice Chancellor Kevin McElroy will describe for you shortly. But the truth is that even the best-case scenario is really only the lesser of two evils. If the Munger tax measure passes with a higher number of votes, or if voters reject both measures, the worst-case scenario is inevitable.
Uncertainty about the election's outcome in November isn't the only risk we face.
We think the governor's proposed budget for 2012-13 is unrealistic in its revenue projections. If state revenues do not materialize as projected – as they have failed to do for the past few years – we again will be facing deep mid-year cuts.
On top of that, the district has its own ongoing structural deficit, meaning that our budgeted expenses exceed our revenue.
A big contributor to our structural deficit is the two years of declining enrollment we've experienced. This enrollment drop has driven down our state apportionment funding. Unless we are able to bring our enrollments back up – which we do not currently anticipate – our base funding will remain at a lower level for a number of years to come. In that case, we need to permanently adjust our staffing downward to reflect funding for a lower number of students.
The district has been addressing our structural deficit for several years now using one-time funding, what we called the stability fund. Current projections tell us that our one-time funds will run out in 2012-13 even under the best-case scenario.
Budget planning is always a balancing act. Although it is essential that we continue to reduce our expenses, at the same time we must retain a level of programs and services that allow us to serve enough students to reach our funding base. And that requires people to teach and keep the colleges running.
As you will see, our budget assumptions have not changed dramatically. However, the collective evidence now points to the need to plan for the worst. That is what we are being advised to do by the state chancellor's office.
We have allowed time for your questions at the end. But now I want to ask Vice Chancellor McElroy to give you a high-level overview of how the district's fiscal situation has changed since our last round of town hall budget meetings. He will give you the broad outlines of our situation. We will be coming back to you with more detail at future town halls.
Kevin McElroy's budget presentation:
Before we move to questions, I would like to thank everyone whose hard work has brought us this far in meeting our fiscal crisis. I very much appreciate your dedicated and thoughtful work. Through your collective depth of knowledge and great caring, we have so far been able to minimize the impacts on both students and staff. I am incredibly proud of the work we have done to keep the district solvent, functioning well and moving forward.
Unfortunately, the situation is at a turning point and we must now prepare for additional cuts. It will take all our ingenuity, discipline and team effort to bring the district through this crisis. As distressing as this is for all of us, I believe we are up to this task. The results of our planning efforts over the past few years are the best evidence I can offer of how important good planning is.
I want to assure you that we will continue to engage in strategic discussions to maximize our revenues and effectively address our budget problems.
We also are working hard to recover lost enrollment. Both campuses are offering robust summer sessions, and Foothill is offering two summer sessions this year.
We will keep our course schedule as stable as possible for students.
We are continuing to work aggressively on generating additional revenue through entrepreneurial partnerships, grants and donations.
We must all work together to operate at full efficiency and exercise all possible economies.
We are being careful to maintain legally required reserves and a small cushion to deal with future surprises.
We continue to look for opportunities to move positions into other funds as an alternative to layoffs.
And we will aggressively continue our statewide advocacy efforts.
In closing, should you want to share with your colleagues who were unable to attend what was covered today, here are the CliffsNotes.
Due to a variety of changing circumstances, we must prepare quickly for the possibility of significant budget reductions sooner than expected. Depending on the outcome of the election, cuts and position eliminations could begin as soon as early 2013.
We need to plan for new ways to do our work and serve students within the limits of substantially reduced revenue. I am calling upon all of you to contribute to this planning effort. We need the campuses and Central Services to complete their preliminary plans for worst-case reductions by the end of June so together we can fine- tune them over the summer for final review in the fall and then presentation to the Board of Trustees.
This schedule will give the campuses time to coordinate their efforts in dealing with the impacts of further reductions. It will enable us to go through our shared governance processes and meet our legal obligations.
With a careful, collaborative and transparent process, I am confident we will arrive at the best possible response to this uncertain situation. I cannot tell you exactly what is in store for us. But I do know Foothill-De Anza will continue to be a great district. It will just be smaller and look a little different, no matter which scenario plays out.
So what can you do?
Actively participate in the planning process and advocate for your ideas.
Spend conservatively.
Definitely vote in November. On your own time, in your private life, please let your family, friends and neighbors know what's at stake with the competing tax initiatives.
In these stressful times, it's so important to treat yourself and others well.
And thank you for all that you do on a daily basis for our students and our communities.
Linda Thor

April 30, 2013
Improving the utilization of viral hepatitis testing and management was the subject of two oral abstract sessions at the 3rd International Conference on Viral Hepatitis (ICVH 2013), which took place in late March in New York City.
Mark Iscoe (from Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, N.Y.) presented the results of a prospective, anonymous study examining a convenience sample of more than 2,100 emergency department and pharmacy patients (Abstract 6). Of them, 72% responded that they would get tested for hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) if a free test was offered; 69% responded that they would also elect to have HIV testing in conjunction with hepatitis testing. These results suggest strong acceptability of integrated screening for viral hepatitis and HIV.
Leah Savitsky (from the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute) presented self-reported performance data from 186 clinics caring for 9,943 HIV-infected patients (Abstract 15). Overall screening and counseling for HCV was accomplished in 93%, but a wide range of scores between clinics suggested that some facilities had need for additional quality improvement. One way to achieve such improvements may be through the use of a clinical decision support tool within an electronic medical record system; a presentation by Andrew Hamilton (from the Alliance of Chicago) showed that this approach appeared to improve HCV testing rates and referral to care in 31 federally funded community health centers (Abstract 46).
Vincent Soriano, M.D., Ph.D., (from Hospital Carlos III in Madrid, Spain) presented data from Madrid finding that, although rates of acute HCV are low (~1%/year), they are increasing among HIV-infected men who have sex with men in that city (Abstract 12). By way of additional warning of potential HCV infection trends, he also pointed out that the historically low acute HCV rates contrast with very high rates of syphilis in the same group (~20%). Soriano concluded that preventive measures for sexually transmitted infections, as well as periodic HCV screenings, are warranted.

Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) announced plans late Monday to accelerate its second, third and fourth quarter dividends so that all three are payable in December, becoming the latest in a slew of companies to move dividends forward ahead of the looming fiscal cliff deadline.
Continue Reading Below
The Redwood Shores, Calif.-based software maker said the move will results in a cash dividend totaling 18 cents a share, payable on Dec. 21 to stockholders of record on Dec. 14.
Oracle becomes the latest company to either accelerate a dividend or declare a special dividend this month, as the failure of the U.S. to resolve fiscal issues by the end of this year could cause dividend taxes to more than double to 39.6% starting next year.
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison is set to save some $56.5 million in taxes due to the acceleration, including about $48.94 million in dividend taxes, should dividend tax rates be increased to the nearly 40% that is under consideration. He owns about 1.1 billion shares of the company.
Oracle said Ellison did not participate in the dividend deliberations.
Other companies paying dividends this month include Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS), which accelerated its payout to December last week, as well as Costco (NASDAQ:COST), Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS), Brown-Forman (NYSE:BFB) and luxury watch maker Movado (NYSE:MOV).
Oracle did not respond to a request from FOX Business regarding why it was accelerating the dividend, though other companies, including Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), have specifically cited the fiscal cliff for the acceleration.
The dividend will be paid in lieu of the regular dividends that Oracle had planned to pay at the end of each quarter of 2013. The board won't be able to consider and approve of a dividend until the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which ends in August, Oracle said.

Volunteers spent the day repainting a section of the park's fence, planting new trees and bushes, and assisting the Parks Department in the installation of barbeque grills and picnic tables.
"This project is about making Cooper Park more accessible to its residents," said Reyna. "A family picnic area will provide the Cooper Park community with greater access to healthy, outdoor activities and will help foster stronger ties among neighbors and families."
Reyna contributed $2.45 million in funds to renovate the park, located on Maspeth Avenue and Sharon Street between Olive Street and Morgan Avenue,
Longterm plans for the park include renovated tennis courts, an upgraded dog run, renovated basketball and handball courts, new volleyball courts, a new skate park, landscaping and pathway improvements. Likewise, a private operator will bring a new Farmers Market to Cooper Park this summer.
"There is something for all park users in this diverse community to enjoy," Thayer added.

At P&A Gas services we can professionally install brand new boilers at competitive prices. Our range is huge with leading brands such as:
- Worcester Bosch
- Valliant
- Baxi Potterton
- Ideal
- Ariston
- Ferroli
- Vokera

All of the boiler installations in Upper Walthamstow which we fit are rated A for efficiency and burn the minimum amount of fuel possible. Hundreds of pounds could be saved by switching to a A-rated new boiler, if you are currently using a lower rated model.
We provide many boiler options suiting your needs and budget. It is important that once a year your boiler gets serviced so that any problems that you are not aware of do not go unmissed. Having your boiler serviced makes sure that it is still safe to be used and manufacturers warranties are upheld.

Our engineers are skilled at repairing many boiler faults and will be able to spot what exactly is preventing your heating system from working.

If you are worried about your current boiler not doing the job properly, you may want to consider replacing it with a more updated model. The amount of money you could save with a boiler replacement in Upper Walthamstow largely depends on what kind of boiler you are currently using and if it is a lower rated model.
We can offer different types of boiler such as combi boilers which are a cost effective way to heat a home as they do not require an external hot water tank, they draw directly form the mains supply.
We have system boilers which save space within the home but do need a cylinder for storing hot water and we also have heat only boilers which are the more traditional models for heating systems linked to separate hot water cylinders. Contact the boiler specialists today to find out more about your boiler care, replacements and boiler repairs in Upper Walthamstow.

Navy Seal needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 253 designs submitted by 60 freelance designers.
Please watch this http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNe…1/20091121 When I saw the W5 Program on CTV on Nov. 21, 2009 I believed that this treatment was an answer to prayer because my wife of 34 years was loosing her will to live as MS was draining the life out of her. I asked our friends to pray and I went to seek out the treatment I saw on W5 . I discovered that angioplasty is not ethical to use for treating Multiple Sclerosis. The doctors know and can do the procedure but would loose their license if they treated MS patient for blocked veins. We were forced to travel to Poland to have the operation done on December 29, 2009. My wife's extreme fatigue is gone, so is the constant headache, and the double vision. She sleeps better, has regained full bladder control and wakes up refreshed. It has been found that up to 90% of MS patients have blocked jugular or azygous veins and that blood refluxes, that is the blood is forced back into the brain rather then draining away. Iron deposits are found around MS lesions. When the blocked veins are opened up with angioplasty (a balloon is used to open the vein, a stent is sometimes inserted to keep it open), there are immediate improvements for the patient. MS symptoms either disappear completely or are greatly reduced. I want to make this available for every MS patient.
There are 800,000 MS patients in the USA and about 75,000 in Canada. There are another one million in Europe. MS patients and their families are our primary target. The existing MS Societies and care givers are financially supported by drug companies who sell $8.8 billion worth of drugs to MS patients. The demand for the Liberation treatment is growing and the MS patients are becoming angry at not being allowed to be treated now. "Unproven, placebo effect, more testing is needed, " is the message from the "professionals". Essentially MS patients are being told "stay in your wheel chairs and shut up until we tell you it is OK for you to get the Liberation treatment". There is huge tidal wave of anger is growing against the MS establishment. The Reformed Multiple Sclerosis Society is going to unite them and get the legal changes necessary to allow patients to decide and assess risk and to be able to obtain early treatment before all facts are known. For the record the mode of action for Aspirin is not known to this day.
Strength, power, take charge, in your face, back off attitude.
The logo which will be the key part of the web page design is going to reflect the attitude that made America America and sent the British packing. Listen to Johnny Horton's Battle of New Orleans.
There is a huge, fat, comfortable, complacent, multi billion dollar MS establishment out there and their influence and control is being challenged. The website will be looking for members and support.

With the win, Stetson improves to 3-16, 3-8, and snaps the Buccaneers' five-game winning streak. Meanwhile, ETSU drops to 11-8, 8-4 in A-Sun play.
"Obviously, this is a tough loss. There's no way to sugarcoat it," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "Players make plays and lately we've been able to make plays, but give Stetson credit because tonight they did. I liked our chances in overtime, but we just didn't have the energy we needed."
In a contest featuring 13 ties, Stetson used several offensive runs in both the first and second halves to stay in the game. The Hatters trailed 34-31 at halftime and by as many as six with just over 10 minutes left in the game. However, at that point Stetson enjoyed some more offensive efficiency and went on a 13-2 run, grabbing the lead at 52-51 and owning as much as a six-point advantage with left in regulation.
With just over two minutes left, though, a 3-pointer by ETSU freshman guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), a steal seconds later by junior forward Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.), and another three by Pigram tied the game at 66 with 2:08 remaining. From there both teams had their opportunities to score, with Stetson's Anthony Register missing a shot with two seconds remaining to take the game to overtime.
In the extra frame, the Bucs led twice on baskets by forward Dillion Sneed (
For the Hatters, Register led four players in double figures with a game-high 19. E.J. Gordon and Garfield Blair each pitched in 11, while McMillen finished with 10. Stetson forced ETSU into 24 turnovers on the night, grabbing 11 steals.
ETSU got a team-high 17 from junior guard Travis Strong (

President Obama will soon renew work on a fiscal cliff resolution, cutting short the first family's trip to Hawaii, commander in chief's birthplace. The president may leave as early as this morning. Congress, meanwhile, is expected to file back into the nation's capital on Thursday.
Here's where they left off: President Obama last Friday said he wants a pared-down plan that would prevent middle class tax hikes and keep unemployment flowing for 2 million Americans by Jan. 1. "This is something within our capacity to solve. It doesn't take that much work," the president said in a nationally televised address."We just have to do the right thing. So call me a hopeless optimist, but I actually still think we can get it done."
The president's remarks came less than 24 hours after House Republicans staged a revolt against the GOP leader, John Boehner; under his plan, taxes would increase for Americans earning more than $1 million—roughly 0.3% of the population—but that proved too much for the adamantly antitax wing of the Republican House. Earlier in the week, in efforts to try to strike a bargain, Obama relented on his stance to raise taxes on Americans making more than $250,00 and said he would agree to moving that figure to $400,000.
President Obama made a smart decision to return to D.C., as did Congress. The public relations nightmare that would arise from Obama continuing his vacation—where he golfed, spent 90 minutes at the gym and visited a Marine base—would surely, in turns, distract from any dialogue and take on a life of its own.
Considerable work awaits the pols' return to D.C. The two parties remain considerably apart. It's unclear whether moderate Republicans can muster support for a compromise bill, especially after Boehner failed to gain enough votes for his bill. Make no mistake: Senate Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, have given no indication that they would stall the process. It's House Republican that seem most likely to prevent any bill containing tax increases to pass, and Democrats have vowed to include tax hikes in any bill. (Though, you can see that the exact level where the increases begin remains fluid.)
What's at stake? Possibly a recession in the first half of the new year, brought on by the series of tax hikes and spending cuts that will take effect next Tuesday. And how can we monitor investor sentiment? Keep your eyes on the sleep-well-at-night stocks, like Procter & Gamble, Ford and Coca-Cola. Large caps like these are bought when investors seek safety. Threat of a recession will likely trigger that. Also, monitor bellwethers like Apple and FedEx. Both serve as excellent measures of sentiment—highly trafficked shares of companies with a wide, international business.
Stock nudged higher after the opening bell. The Dow Jones industrial average added 0.2% to 13,159.37. The S&P 500 rose 0.1% to 1,427.62. And the Nasdaq composite increased 0.1% to 3,016.97.
Some stocks seeing early morning activity: Exxon Mobil rose 0.8%. Chevron gained 0.5%. Conoco increased 0.1%.
Two tech stocks propped up the Nasdaq. Research in Motion jumped 6.1%. Facebook gained 0.6%.
Nearly all attention this week will center on the fiscal cliff. Precious few economic reports will come. The Case-Shiller Home Price index this morning will be released at 9. New home sales and consumer confidence figures come tomorrow; an earlier measure of consumers showed Americans have limited their spending in this crucial holiday season, weighed down by uncertainty about their paychecks next year.

Fans encouraged to wear pink to promote breast cancer awareness
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 16, 2013) – Looking to avoid its longest losing streak of the season, the ETSU Lady Bucs will welcome the Mercer Bears to the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center on Saturday, Feb. 16, at 1:30 p.m. This home tilt will be highlighted as the annual "Play 4Kay" game to raise awareness about breast cancer and the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. Fans attending Saturday's game are encouraged to wear pink.
ETSU (6-14) (4-9) aims to right the ship but must do so against another team seated in the top-tier of the Atlantic Sun standings, the Mercer Bears. After dropping road contests to the top two teams in the league, the Lady Bucs welcome third-place Mercer who has rolled off 10 consecutive wins dating back to Jan. 5. To corral the Bears, ETSU hopes the long layoff between games has allowed the team to rest and get healthy, in particular junior forward Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.). To find success against MU, the Blue and Gold must take better care of the ball after averaging 21 turnovers per game in their recent, three consecutive losses which has resulted in an average of 23 points off these miscues for the opposition in said contests.
The matchup between the Lady Bucs and the Bears will be the 25th all-time meeting between the two schools, a series in which ETSU leads with a 14-10 overall series advantage. ETSU and MU met earlier this season in Macon, Ga. where the Bears topped the Lady Bucs, 79-64. In this contest, the Blue and Gold had no answer for three Mercer players totaling 60 of the team's 79 points, while ETSU featured only one scorer in double-figures.
For more on Saturday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Lady Buccaneers, but Lady Bucs is also acceptable.
ETSU (6-14, 4-9) looked to snap a two-game losing streak when they traveled to Fort Myers, Fla. to take on the Atlantic Sun-leading Florida Gulf Coast Eagles. The Lady Bucs took an early 5-4 lead before the first media timeout of the half, but FGCU finally found their groove and went on a 13-0 run over the next six minutes. ETSU was held without a made field goal for 11 minutes while the Eagles closed the half on a 33-16 run to up their advantage to 37-21 at the break. ETSU continued the cold shooting and kept allowing FGCU to capitalize on the Lady Bucs' turnovers into the second period. The Eagles kept a large a lead for much of the stanza as ETSU could not get anything going, en route to a 70-48 defeat. Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.) led the Lady Bucs with 14 points, while Maria Bond (Macon, Ga.) added 12 points off the bench.
Saturday's contest in the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center will be the 25th all-time meeting between the two teams. The Lady Bucs and the Bears met earlier this season, on Jan. 21, when MU topped ETSU, 79-64. In this recent matchup, ETSU looked to build upon their victory over Kennesaw State two days prior when they faced the Mercer Bears inside Hawkins Arena. The Lady Bucs got off to a fast start again, scoring the first five points of the contest. Mercer answered with a run of their own, followed by another streak by ETSU, pushing the lead to as many as nine. Mercer responded quickly and took the lead with two minutes remaining in the period and took a 41-37 lead into the break. In the second stanza, the Lady Bucs battled back to tie the game with eleven minutes remaining, but the Bears answered with a 22-12 run over the final eight minutes to seal the game, 79-64. Destiny Mitchell posted her second consecutive double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds, while Cara Bowling added nine points.
After being inserted into the starting lineup for the first time this season against North Florida on Jan. 26, sophomore guard Cara Bowling has successfully responded to the promotion. Following scoring 14 points in her first game as a starter this season, Bowling has kept the momentum going with strong offensive performances since. In the Elizabethton, Tenn. native's last five games, she is averaging 12 points per game, including a season-high tying 15 points vs. Northern Kentucky on Feb. 4. The sharpshooter has also fired at a 42 percent clip from behind the arc in these contests.
The Lady Bucs have recently discovered the most offensive production through points in the paint. ETSU is currently averaging 30 points in the paint per game, including an average of 36 points in its past five. In the win against Jacksonville, the Blue and Gold recorded 50 points in the paint, the most since scoring 50 as well on Jan. 31, 2011 in a 100-62 victory against Mercer in Johnson City.
The Blue and Gold have outrebounded the opposition in 15 of the 20 games this season and enter Saturday's game with a plus-6.8 rebounding margin (43.6-36.8), ranking first in the A-Sun … in a loss at FGCU, the Lady Bucs outrebounded the Eagles by 20, 53-33 … the Lady Bucs' plus-6.8 rebound margin currently ranks in the top 30 nationally.
The emergence of redshirt-sophomore Tiana Burley (Camilla, Ga.) has provided a badly-needed inside presence for the Lady Bucs. In the transfer's first action as a Lady Buc due to NCAA regulations, the forward came off the bench and posted a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds in a loss to Appalachian State. This performance awarded Burley A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honors on Dec. 26. Burley also came up huge off the bench in the win against Jacksonville (1/28) when she posted season-highs of 22 points and four blocks as well as 11 rebounds in only 20 minutes of play. On Feb. 4, the sophomore forward was awarded Atlantic Sun Women's Basketball Player of the Week by College Sports Madness. After being inserted into the starting lineup against Northern Kentucky due to injuries amongst the team, Burley dominated from the start and scored 16 points before the midway point of the first half. In total, the sophomore forward scored 20 points and ripped down 11 rebounds. The Camilla, Ga. native followed this with another double-double against Stetson with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Burley is currently averaging 8.3 points and 5.1 rebounds for ETSU.
After being inserted into the starting lineup at the beginning of conference play, Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.) has answered the call and has been stellar in league play. In her first start of the season at USC Upstate, Randall tallied 16 points and was 4-of-6 from behind the arc. The junior guard followed this performance with strong showings at Lipscomb (13 points, 4 rebounds), at Northern Kentucky (9 points) and at Kennesaw State (18 points). Randall is currently averaging 8.2 points per game in Atlantic Sun action.
In addition to running the team as a true freshman point guard, Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.) has shown no fear at the free throw stripe with the game on the line. At Lipscomb and at Kennesaw State, McQueen stepped the line and buried clutch free throws down the stretch to seal the game in the Lady Bucs' favor. McQueen currently is ninth in the A-Sun in free throw shooting at 73 percent.
Currently the Lady Bucs are averaging 5.2 blocks per contest, good for tops in the Atlantic Sun. ETSU swatted a season-high nine shots in a loss at Stetson on Feb. 9. The Blue and Gold are led by Tosha Austin's (Chattanooga, Tenn.) one block per game which ranks in the top five individually in the league. Austin also currently ranks tied for 16th all-time in blocked shots in Atlantic Sun history with 120 rejections.
Destiny Mitchell has scored in double figures in ten out of the eighteen games she has played in this season and is averaging 11.8 points per contest … Mitchell scored a season-high 26 points in the opener at High Point back on Nov. 10 and added 14 points and 16 rebounds in the 10-point win vs. Memphis to close out the month of November ... Mitchell is currently eighth in the A-Sun in scoring (11.8), second in rebounding (8.6), fourth in steals (2.6) and fourth in field goal percentage (48.9).
Mitchell is well on her way to become the 21st Lady Buc to join the 1,000-point club ... She is on pace to break the 1,000-point mark near the end of February as she registered 347 points as a freshman and 367 points as a sophomore for 714 total points... through ETSU's first 20 games of the 2012-13 season she has scored 212 to move her career total to 926 .. if Mitchell scores in similar fashion in the next two years as she did as a rookie and as a sophomore, she will put herself in the top-10 in Lady Buc history.
After a solid start to the season for the now eligible transfer, Serena Clark (Tucker, Ga.) has really turned it on when it comes to Atlantic Sun action. Through the first 13 games of league play, Clark is averaging 8.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, including back-to-back double-doubles at Lipscomb and at Northern Kentucky with 10 points & 14 rebounds and 16 points, 10 rebounds & seven steals, respectively.
The Lady Bucs have been a tough team to beat when it comes to the second half of the season (games played from January-March) … since January of 2008, ETSU is 80-38 (.678) in the months of January through March, including a program-best 19-3 mark in 2009-10.
Through the early portion of the season, ETSU has gotten strong contributions from its bench. On the season ETSU averages 25 bench points per game, including a season-high 44 points off the bench against Memphis. Key reserves Maria Bond (6.1 ppg) and Brianna McQueen (9.2 ppg) have been vital for the Lady Bucs.
The Lady Bucs have enjoyed a lot of success since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06 … since joining the league, the Lady Buccaneers have averaged 15 conference wins a year, including a league-best and school record 18-2 mark in 2009-10, three Atlantic Sun Tournament titles (2008-2010), and two regular season championships (2008 and 2010) …in total, ETSU is 103-42 (.710) against conference foes since moving into the A-Sun … the Lady Bucs have also won 83 of their last 115 games against conference foes (includes the 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 A-Sun Tournaments).
Destiny Mitchell recorded 11 double-doubles in her rookie season and she finished the 2011-12 season with four consecutive double-doubles before going down with her knee injury against UNF on Feb. 12 … in those 11 games, Mitchell averaged 17.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 2.7 steals in 33.5 minutes of work, while also shooting 53 percent from the field (81-152)... Mitchell had 10 more double-doubles in 2011-12... after earning her first double-double of this season on Nov. 30 against Memphis (14 pts., 16 rebs.) and after posting three consecutive double-doubles at Kennesaw State (18 pts., 10 rebs.), at Mercer (17 pts., 13 rebs.) and vs. North Florida (12 pts. 14 rebs.), Mitchell now has 25 so far in her career.
Since the 2002-03 season the Lady Bucs are 106-18 when the they hit the 75-point plateau, including 76-14 since the 2006-07 season... recently, ETSU put up 86 to defeat Lipscomb by 22 and earn the 106th such victory.

As you walk the streets of downtown Portland, you might notice a number of homeless teens. When life takes a turn for the worst as a teenager, it's crucial to know where to go to receive support. Portland Oregon and West Hollywood are attractive locations for homeless teens due to the premiere teen support programs available there. Recently a group of student designers, a foundation, and a university decided to take the West Coast homeless teen story a bit further.
Homeless teens and fitting in
Reasons for teen homelessness vary. One common reason for leaving home is the feeling of being an outsider. Enter Outside In, Portland's nationally recognized teen shelter. Outside In brings teens together in a safe environment so that they can literally and emotionally begin to build the feeling of home and belonging from the outside, in.
Recently Outside In partnered with Portland State University's (PSU's) Department of Architecture to rethink shelter for homeless teens. This included social systems and design thinking for homeless youth—systems that were born out of conversations and collaborations with designers, the teens themselves, and those who help the teens solve problems in their lives on a daily basis.
An exhibit inspires: collaborative design with the other 90 percent
It is hard to capture all of the contributors in a complex collaboration that addresses difficult issues. PSU Professor Sergio Palleroni, known for his sustainable architecture work with PSU's premiere program and for his Basic Initiative design projects, recently combined forces with influential collaborators, including Portland's Mercy Corps, the Portland Museum of Contemporary Craft, and the Smithsonian National Design Museum Cooper-Hewitt in New York. Together they drove a comprehensive second iteration of an exhibit called "Design with the Other 90%: CITIES," which shared 60 urban solutions for people living in temporary settlements across the globe. This exhibit, shown recently in Portland, became the perfect ignition and collaborative inspiration for the Portland Teen Homelessness project—it illuminated new ideas used by other shelter projects and provided a focal point for the project as it developed. Palleroni stood at the fulcrum several times, simultaneously developing content for the exhibit and helping students develop their own solutions separately.
Producing nine potential kick-off solutions
Palleroni, along with another professor, Teddy Cruz, supported their PSU Master of Architecture Design students through the completion of nine well-thought-out solutions addressing teen homelessness.
Each proposal stands as a shelter "organism" that connects kids to their street families or social tribes of support. Each focuses on both creating stability for homeless youth who are uncomfortable with society and improving communication with a society that is uncomfortable with homelessness. The shelters stand as social systems designed to connect the teens physically and emotionally, literally and figuratively, through open spaces and points of intersection where they can gather together and feel safe. As part of the next phase of the project, the students are seeking feedback from the Portland community.
Ultimately what I like about this entire project is the move in design toward collaboration. Product design is shifting from self-reference and showcasing design trends of the past to social solutions arrived at through community and design collaboration. We are seeing this design trend emerge inside companies, among entrepreneurs, and in design school curriculums.
Opening the invitation to the Portland community
In the initial public presentation of the nine designs Palleroni said, "We plan to continue this public design process over the next year with open public design charrettes and workshops. After this public input, our goal is seeing some of these ideas generated in the studio and beyond."
The presentation ended on an interesting note. Peter Schoonmaker, who started and who runs Portland's Pacific NW College of Art's MFA in Collaborative Design, shared a student project called Blight. This Dwell magazine-like project illuminates something we typically don't want to look at—homelessness—in beautiful form.

Hello, Saki.
Thank you for the wonderful extension, it works nicely, but I have a problem. I need to show some loaded files in UploadPanel manually (not by clicking 'Add' button).
I tried to loadData in UploadPanel's store, they even are shown in the list.
But the delete button is not displayed (cursor hand still shows when moved onto place where it has to be). When I add another file (using 'Add' button) and click on 'Remove all' button, JS error occurs, seems like store data needs 'input' elements. Looking to source of UploadPanel, I found that store's data's input elements are got from FileUploadField. How should I configure input field for data for initial load? Or may be there is a more correct way than loadData to UploadPanel's store?

This week is the celebration of Valentine's Day, or Singles Awareness Day, or Galentine's Day, or red-heart-candy-on-sale day – however you choose to celebrate. I found a number of images in the Descartes Pascal collection of glass plate negatives to inspire your Valentine activities.
For the ladies, a pouffy sleeve pairs well with a game of cards; it is too cold to attempt an outdoor game just yet, though.
Gentlemen, grab your high collars, hats, and handkerchiefs, and hit the town.
Another option: you, your special someone, and some giant fur gloves make three!
More information on Pascal and his materials in Special Collections is available here. If your curious about what a glass-plate negative is, an exhibit about the process and more examples are available online here. Even if you're solo these days, give thanks for whatever photography equipment you have, because chances are it's much more user-friendly than glass plates.
