OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. – The Harvard baseball team split a nonleague doubleheader on Saturday at New York Institute of Technology at President's Field. NYIT scored a pair of unearned runs to take the opener, 3-2, before Harvard came back for a 10-6 win in the nightcap.
The teams will continue their weekend series tomorrow with another twinbill.
In the opener, NYIT's (2-10) Ryan Campbell was the game's only multiple-hit player in a pitcher's duel between Eric Eadington and Marcos Perez, going 2-for-2 with a pair of walks and a run batted in.
Eadington allowed just four hits while striking out eight in his 5.0 innings of work. Perez relied more on his defense but scattered five hits and three walks while striking out three in 4.2 innings. Ryan Dillabough earned the win in relief with 2.1 scoreless innings. Dan Berardo took the loss after allowing a hit and walking one in 0.2 innings of relief.
Harvard took a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning on a bases loaded single from Cole Arledge but it was the only offense for a Crimson team that stranded seven runners and had four thrown out on the base paths.
NYIT tied the game in the fifth and went ahead for good in the sixth after a no-out error was followed by a one-out seeing-eye single by Campbell.
In the second game, Harvard erupted for a season-high 17 hits while benefitting from six NYIT errors in the official rulings.
The top of Harvard's order did the damage as Sam Franklin went 4-for-6, Marcus Way went 3-for-3 with three RBI and Danny Moskovits, Jeff Reynolds and Dillon O'Neill all had two hits.
Reynolds helped stake the Crimson to a 5-0 lead in the second inning with a two-run single to left. With the score 5-3 in the seventh, Way launched a solo homer to right and Andrew Hatch followed with an RBI single to give the Crimson a 7-3 lead. Harvard put the game out of reach in the eighth as Way, Moskovits and Sean O'Hara drove in runs in consecutive at bats.
Max Perlman took the win on the mound, striking out six batters in 5.0 innings in which he scattered five hits. Ben Sestanovich struck out four batters in 4.0 relief innings to earn the save.

Who doesn't love a treat of chocolate? The Chocolat Frey Chocobloc comes in a variety of flavors: Milk, Dark, Orange, White. These are the perfect size for a 3:00 p.m. snack at the office or even toss one into the diaper bag so you have it while your kids play at the playground. Ok maybe you can share a piece as well. The flavors are rich and smooth and you just can't stop with one "bloc". Using only authentic ingredients including rich cocoa beans, whole roasted nuts and Swiss milk, Frey's bean to bar process leaves nothing to chance. All steps have been honed to perfection to produce high quality chocolate creations. This process ensures consistency in delivering the distinctive and indulgent taste experience that has become the hallmark of Chocolat Frey.
For those days when you want to reach for a tub of ice cream, grab one of Chocolat Frey's larger chocolate bars instead. Available in Milk Crunchy Nuts (holy loads of hazelnuts yum), Dark Crunchy Nuts (healthy right?) and Blond Crunchy Almonds, these are also nice to give as a just because gift to a coworker, friend, child's teacher and more.
For kids, the individually wrapped chocoblocs are perfect. No mess and no fuss. While we have pretty nice weather year round in California, Spring means
- Saran aka Cling Wrap
- Colorful Twine or Ribbon
- Jumbo Self-Adhesive Jewels
- Small Tassels or other hanging accessories with a jump ring
- Chocolat Frey Chocobloc Minis
- Scissors
2. Place the Chocolat Frey Chocobloc Minis (top side down) in a row with about an inch spacing in between. This allows for you to pinch together and tie.
3. Fold over the cling wrap several times just on the backside.
4. Cut a small piece of twine or ribbon and after pinching together the cling wrap, tie in place. Repeat until all the minis are secure.
5. Flip over and tie the ends of the cling wrap together to form the lei.
6. Peel and stick the jewels over the twine or ribbon and attach a few tassels or feathers or other accessory your child likes.
7. Voila - ready to wear and snack on!
These are perfect to give to your children for Easter as well as fun for them to make for their friends. Heck you can give these year round to anyone! They are simple to make and can be personalized with color, fun jewels, stickers, ribbon and much more. Plus who can resist the delicious Chocolat Frey inside?

I am new to Linux and a non-technical end user. I searched Forums for promotion of mint and found about promotion tools like t-shirts, banners, blogging, displaying batch on website.etc but could not find any way to promote Live DVDs. In India, even 256 kbps is defined as broadband. Many home users have limited Mb plan, as surfing do not consume much Mbs, for them 800 MB is too time consuming and sometimes costly affair. They prefer to purchase DVD for Rs 100/- (USD 2) and then can of course share it with friends for free.
I have some thoughts about spreading Mint. I think hard copies of DVDs are great way to market Mint. The question is - how to reach to end users?. These are my thoughts
DVD should contain a small booklets which has mint manual, link to forum, a small articles of advantage of Linux and the Advantage of Live DVD. Booklet could also advise user to install it inside Vitualbox. A small intro of Virtualbox would be handy. Again explaining License and liberty to copy and distribute would be beneficial too. - This will gain their confidence and remove / reduce fear.
1. Give Live DVD with popular Magazine related to computer technology. The collaboration can be worked out. Either offer very cheap DVDs or include to cost of DVD in the magazine. Then publishers would give some percentage to mint foundation.
2. Offer DVDs at cheap price in Retail shops – stationary shops keeping computer items like pen drive, cords, computer hardware stores etc. Retails shore owners generally do not demand extra money, if they are assured of some credit if we are ready to take back sold DVDs.Malls can also be approached too.
3. Free giveaways. Give a free laptop pre-configured with Dual Boot of Win 7 and Linux Mint or just Mint. Run a contest or a lucky draw. Participant will have to donate minimum amount say, USD $ 5. After you get double amount of the the item to be given free, you do a lucky draw and offer lucky participant a laptop.
4. You can also collaborate about lucky draw with hardware vendors, Laptop vendors and let them do the marketing.
5. Tech Geeks can approach Schools, Colleges to educate mint and offer free DVDs to Teachers and DVDs at a nominal price to students.
6. Tech Geeks can approach Computer training institutes to teach / introduce linux or mint. Make students aware of virtual machines like virtualbox, so that they can toy with any Guest OS. (I was not aware of Virtualbox till I came across the name in forums).
I know this can be very demanding Job. It also requires one to be technically sound. Just wished to share my thoughts.

The VAB consists of two County Commissioners, one School Board Member, and two citizen members, one who is appointed by the County Commission and must own homestead property within the county, and the other who is appointed by the School Board and must own a business occupying commercial space within the school district. Authority for the VAB is vested through Florida Statute Chapter 194.
Address: The Value Adjustment Board Office is located at 1115 Manatee Avenue West.
Phone number: (941) 741-4058
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
All VAB petitions filed with the Value Adjustment Board Clerk appealing determinations of the Property Appraiser must have the petitioner's signature (original or electronic), and must be accompanied by the appropriate filing fee of $15 per parcel (see below). Faxed and emailed petitions WILL be accepted; however, these petitions will not be considered complete and timely filed until the appropriate filing fee has been received by the Value Adjustment Board Clerk.
A petition filed by an unlicensed agent must be signed by the taxpayer or include written authorization from the taxpayer.

*denotes an approximation in date
The return of an incomplete petition shall not grant a waiver nor extend the filing deadline for the petition. Petitions filed after the deadline are considered "Late Files" and are forwarded to the Special Magistrate or VAB Attorney for review. A late filed petition must be accompanied by a statement of the reasons for the late filing and any documents that support that statement. A hearing will not be scheduled unless the Special Magistrate or VAB Attorney finds there is "good cause" for the late filing. Petitions postmarked by the deadline dates, but received after those dates, are considered late. Petitions are not to be returned to the Property Appraiser's Office.
You are encouraged to contact the Property Appraiser's Office to discuss your issue prior to filing a petition; however, requesting or participating in an informal conference with the Property Appraiser's Office does not extend the petition filing deadline.

Clerk of the Circuit Court,
Value Adjustment Board Clerk

Bradenton, FL 34205
Petitions shall be filed with the appropriate filing fee, as follows:
Single petition - $15.00 per parcel
Single petition for: 1) condominium association, cooperative association, or homeowners' association; and 2) more than one contiguous, undeveloped parcel – if the Property Appraiser determines such parcels are similar in nature (the petitioner must obtain the determination from the Property Appraiser, and file the determination with the petition) - $15.00, plus $5.00 per additional unit/parcel.
The Value Adjustment Board has adopted Resolution R-17-094, the Value Adjustment Board Local Internal Procedures.
The process is governed by the Florida Department of Revenue, Florida Administrative Code Rules Chapter 12D-9, containing uniform rules of procedure for hearings before Value Adjustment Boards and Special Magistrates; Chapter 12D-10, containing rules applicable to the requirements for hearings and decisions; and Chapter 12D-51, containing standard assessment procedures and measures of value/guidelines. You may view these and other Rules/Property Tax Information at the Department of Revenue website.
State law requires a partial payment of taxes on properties that have a Value Adjustment Board petition on or after the payment delinquency date (normally April 1, following the assessment year under review but this date can vary). If the required partial payment is not made before the delinquency date, the Value Adjustment Board will deny your petition. The last day to make the partial payment before the delinquency date is generally March 31. Review your tax bill or contact your Tax Collector to determine your delinquency date.
Petitioners should be aware that even if a Special Magistrate's recommended decision has been issued, a partial payment is still required before the delinquency date. A Special Magistrate's recommended decision is not a final decision of the Value Adjustment Board. A partial payment is not required only if the Value Adjustment Board makes a final decision on a petition before April 1. The payment amount depends on the type of petition filed on the property. View the Department of Revenue information sheet for partial payment requirements.
Partial payments must be made at the Manatee County Tax Collector Field Services & Collections Department located at:
1001 3rd Ave W.
Suite 240
Bradenton, FL
All payments must be in U.S. Certified Funds. Appointments will be required in order to make a partial payment. Please contact the Tax Collector's Office at 941-741-4835 or at 941-741-4832 to schedule an appointment.
In counties with populations of more than 75,000, the Value Adjustment Board shall appoint special magistrates to take testimony and make recommendations on petitions filed with the value adjustment board. (Chapter 12D-9.010, Florida Administrative Code)
Attorneys – Andrea Johnson, Rinky Parwani

australianmap.net - mapping Australia's nuclear sites ...
Once you've selected a site and wind direction, click on the place marker for information on resettlement and radiological control zones.
This interactive map illustrates two key points about nuclear accidents.
- Nuclear accidents can spread radioactive fallout over a very large area.
- The radioactive fallout pattern can be very random − it depends on prevailing weather patterns and topology. You might be reasonably close to a nuclear accident and be largely unaffected ... or you might live a long way away but suffer much greater impacts because of local weather patterns.
(The sites listed in the map are potential nuclear power sites in Australia, as discussed in a 2007 report by The Australia Institute. The fallout map is taken directly from the Chernobyl disaster. The map makes no allowance for local weather conditions, topology etc. at the Australian sites. More info here.)

Afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms will stay in the forecast for three more days before a drier pattern builds in just in time for Independence Day in South Florida.
Monday afternoon is likely to see scattered showers and storms, with locally heavy rains possible. Look for storms to start firing by mid-day and carry into the evening hours. Highs will be around 89 with showers and storms ending Monday night and temperatures staying around 79.
Tuesday will start with early sunshine followed by afternoon thunderstorms and highs around 88.
A pattern of morning sunshine and afternoon storms is likely to carry until Wednesday before a new area of high pressure builds in and dries us out a little bit before the holiday.
The tropics remain quiet this week with no development expected for the next several days.

SAN LORENZO — Multiple San Lorenzo high schools received death threats Thursday and Friday prompting some schools to evacuate, district officials said.
Staff at San Lorenzo High School received the first threat Thursday around 10 a.m. from an unknown person on the phone who mentioned a bomb. The 1,300-student campus was evacuated for about an hour as the Alameda County Sheriff's deputies searched the campus. After finding nothing, students returned to class, district officials said.
On Friday, staff at the San Lorenzo High campus received a death threat around 10 a.m., as did the shared Royal Sunset High and East Bay Arts High campus. This time, the threat was delivered on the phone by an electronic voice device, according to Sharon Lampel, district spokeswoman and assistant superintendent of human resources. Only the last word, "dead," was clear in the message, Lampel said.
Lampel said students at San Lorenzo High were not evacuated Friday on the advice of the sheriff's department, but the 600 students at the combined Royal Sunset and East Bay Arts campus were evacuated for about an hour until the campus was deemed safe by law enforcement.
Following their return to class, students finished both days without incident and departed for a two-week winter break.
Lampel said it is unknown whether the threat made Thursday came from the same source as Friday's threats.
"We don't want to overreact and we don't want to underreact. We just want to make sure the students were safe," Lampel said, adding, "We do everything we can. Our campuses are pretty wide open. Student safety is our absolute number one priority."

Day three and (nearly four!!) of occupying Shell's drillship the ´Noble Discoverer´. (What a pathetically ironic name.)
It's been a tough couple of days but I'm getting my second wind now - especially seeing how our action - seven kiwis sitting on a drillship - has caused such a roaring avalanche of disapproval to rain down on the big yellow Shell.
When we last talked to the team up at the Greenpeace office they told us this is essentially one of the longest, if not the longest running direct actions in Greenpeace NZ history! That makes us proud because Greenpeace NZ has a long and proud history of direct action in defence of the planet.
It's not comfortable up here but our discomfort is a small sacrifice and well worth making to raise so much awareness about what Shell want to inflict on the Arctic and its people.
And thank you for all the wonderful messages of support - they are truly helpful. You sustain us more than muesli bars.
What an outrage that Shell claim they have the ability to clean up after a spill in the one of most stunning and inhospitable environments on this planet.We are still being buffeted by strong winds but woke to a stunning sunrise and blue sky this morning. Our camp has been getting cosier each day. Solar panels placed to catch the sun and tarps deflect the wind. We have hammocks and sleeping bags filled with instant heat sachets, which takes most of the night chill off.
Our days are spent hanging banners in high winds, making the camp ship-shape or using various gadgets to upload these blogs and images. I've even done my first tweets ever!
We have a great team up here and between the seriousness of our campaign and keeping camp going we have many witty moments so spirits are high most of the time.Stand up for what we all stand on!From Ra at the occupied Shell drill ship.

With global news about maternal mortality like this out of the United Kingdom and this from the World Health Organization, and with the US still ranking 50th in the world in maternal mortality, it's clear that even in developed nations, we still have work to do. In the UK, 20 out of 22 maternal deaths from 2006-2008 resulted from substandard care; usually failure to deliver antihypertensive medications to treat excessive systolic blood pressure, but also other basic failings such as poor diagnosis and failure to act on obvious serious disease.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hosted a day long session of the CDC/ACOG maternal mortality interest group during the College's 2012 Annual Clinical Meeting. The goal of the meeting was to share information about maternal mortality review (MMR) efforts and how some states are transforming reviews into action. Several states shared their experiences and the 18 presentations are now available.
Dr. Maurice Druzin reported from the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC) that findings from the CA-PAMR (California Pregnancy-Associated Review) are being used to develop a Preeclampsia Toolkit. This collection of checklists and brief guidelines will outline best practices in recognizing and treating preeclampsia, the second leading cause of maternal death in California. the Toolkit will address issues throughout pregnancy and in outpatient clinis and emergency departments as well as Labor & Deliver units. The goal is to improve both maternal and perinatal outcomes among California's 530,000 annual births, which comprise 1/8 of the nation's total births. The Toolkit will be publicly available in late 2012. The Preeclampsia Foundation is playing an active role in this effort, representing patient interests and information needs.
Elliott Main, MD, CMQCC's Medical Director and chair of the CDC/ACOG maternal mortality study group, said,"The CMQCC Preeclampsia Toolkit represents an ongoing commitment by the California Department of Public Health, Maternal Child and Adolescent Health Division to address preventable causes of maternal mortality and improve health outcomes for all California mothers and their newborns. CMQCC has the ability to leverage the volunteer efforts of an incredible team of expert clinicians from obstetrics, maternal fetal medicine, emergency medicine and anesthesia to address all facets of the preeclampsia issue in developing this Toolkit."
Other states such as New York, Illinois, Alaska and North Carolina also reported on their efforts to develop quality improvement programs based on MMR findings and health disparities.
While a bit oversimplified, the process of MMR boils down to this:
So what's the problem? For starters, states with Maternal Mortality Review programs sometimes delay reporting their findings, whether due to scarce resources, or because they fear a public relations issue. States that don't have an MMR program either don't have the resources - data collection and analysis is time consuming and expensive - or don't have enough maternal deaths to produce statistically significant data.
Two potential solutions to the latter problem are 1) aggregating state data across the nation and 2) including the harder to collect but extremely meaningful data that would come from "near misses" - cases that include severe maternal or perinatal complications.
Does your state have a pregnancy checkbox on its death certificate? Does it have an MMR program? Would you be interested in advocating for one? Let us know.

On Monday we kicked off a campaign for Rare Disease Day to raise awareness of research, especially into two rare diseases, myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and sarcoma. We hoped to reach 500 participants in our MPN research initiative and 800 participants in our Sarcoma Community by today, and are happy to say that with your help we enrolled about triple the usual numbers compared to the average week. We reached our goal this week for MPN and are just a few participants shy of 800 for Sarcoma — definitely something to be excited about!
A big thank you to everyone who joined our research initiatives or helped spread the word. You really made a difference! We're still enrolling participants so if you or someone you know has one of these diseases, we encourage you to get involved.
Over the next two weeks we'll be posting more news and stories about both MPN and sarcoma, so stay tuned!

Today we have a guest entry by Jeff Johnson, the videographer who is accompanying us in the field.
brazil fieldwork 2012 from Jeff Johnson on Vimeo.
Documentary filmmaking and paleontology are a lot alike. Its all about being in the right place, at the right time, with the right kind of eye. We are eight days into this expedition and I'm learning a lot. Not just about paleontology, geology, and biology but also about the people who do this work and what it takes to be successful at it. As a documentarian, it's always hard to know what you're getting yourself into until you're in the thick of it. Will your subjects be willing participants? Will the visuals translate into a compelling story? And in this particular instance, what kind of creatures will I shake out of my boots in the morning? But my biggest concern at the start of this project was how to dissect the scientist's process so that an audience with little or no concept of scientific method could learn and appreciate the work. Every day here the team makes discoveries. Some important, others not as much and I have already accumulated hours and hours of footage (a preemptive apology to my editor). Much of it consists of team members walking or staring intently at the ground (it must have been a paleontologist who coined the phrase "looking for a needle in a haystack"). However, in between the somewhat mundane reality of this sort of fieldwork are some of the most beautiful moments I think I have ever captured. And I'm not talking about the fossils or even some of the breathtaking landscapes that northeastern Brazil has to offer. No, the most valuable footage I have collected thus far are of the team members themselves. Enraptured and passionate, they are beaming with enthusiasm for what they do, not necessarily about their own specific field of work but more so with all the possibilities that come with new discovery. Their curiosity for our world knows no bounds and it's something I profoundly admire. When this trip is over and the final edit is complete, the story will surely be one of a paleontological expedition, but also one that will hopefully inspire us all to reflect on how we perceive this world.

So, yesterday, as the whole world was boggling over how Sarah Palin managed to spend $150,000 on clothes and accessories, I read this Slate piece, in which Nina Shen Rastogi goes on a pretend shopping spree at Saks and tries to do it herself. (In fact, she managed to, though $63,000 of that was jewelry.) And one of my first thoughts was, "I couldn't do that if I wanted to, because they wouldn't have enough stuff in my size." Granted, Shen Rastogi was shopping "as" Sarah Palin, who obviously has no trouble finding things that fit at department stores. But it got me thinking.
So of course, being a fan of the online window-shopping, I had to determine just how much I could spend on high-end designer fat clothes if I were really trying. I didn't limit myself, as Shen Rastogi did, to stuff that would actually be Palin-appropriate. (If I had, we'd have a much shorter list and lower number here). I just painstakingly went through everything available (online) in my size at the stores where Palin ran up the infamous bills — Saks, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, and Barney's — and picked out every single thing I would buy if neither money nor closet space were an object. I don't know where the fuck I'm going to wear a dozen different evening dresses, but they're pretty, and since I have unlimited funds in this fantasy, I probably also have loads of charity events and opera openings and whatnot to attend.
I restricted myself to stuff I, personally, would wear — at least in theory. (I know some of the Anna Scholz stuff would look like ass on me because it's too long-geared, for instance, but the shape is otherwise right for me. Unfortunately, a wide selection of plus petites is just as much a fantasy as having the money to afford all this.) Also, I could have run up a much bigger tab by really splurging on shoes and handbags, but the whole point is that I'm trying to see what I could get in terms of plus-size clothing. So I limited myself to 3 pairs of shoes and 3 bags at each store. I didn't look at jewelry at all, so we can just pretend I spent $63,000 on that, too.

Total: $10, 314.97
Oh wait, Barney's doesn't seem to carry plus sizes at all (at least not online). Which means I'm not buying shoes or bags there, either.
Total: $0
Add $63K in imaginary jewelry, and it's $105,776.87, still well short of Palin's and Shen Rostagi's bills.
What have we learned from all this? Well, first, I'm pretty sure I got a hell of a lot more clothes than Palin did for the money, because there's no such thing as a multi-thousand-dollar suit for fat chicks (at least, not at those stores). If a fat woman were running for office at that level, she'd still be in suits that cost under $1,000, 'cause that's all that's out there. Some of the career wear for fatties is very well made and plenty expensive, but if you buy the only argument in support of Palin here — that women of her stature are expected to dress a certain way, and it costs that kind of money — then a fat woman who aspired to be a woman of Palin's stature and look the part would be shit outta luck.
And of course, it goes without saying that a woman who wears over a size 24 is already shit outta luck. Everything I'm saying here about upper-class fat women being shut out of dressing like their peers goes quadruple for fat women who are sized out of high-end department stores.
Also, is Tadashi really the only fucking designer making plus-size evening wear? (What happened to Carmen Marc Valvo's plus line?) There are loads of dresses that cost over $1,000 in Saks's straight size section, and some a lot more than that, but only one over $500 in "Salon Z." Again, if fat women want to move in the circles where women blow a couple thou on a dress for one night, we don't even have the option of dressing to the same level. We've got to show up to our charity events and opera openings in gowns that don't cost much more than the average bridesmaid's dress.
Now, real-world me is perfectly happy about this, since I'd like someone to shoot me if I ever think there's a good reason to spend more than $500 on a dress. But fantasy-world me is pissed. I have all this pretend money, and I can't even look the part, because someone decided that fat women don't deserve fancy clothes. I mean, of course, with all that pretend money, I could hire a pretend tailor to make whatever I wanted, which is probably exactly what fat women who are loaded do. And of course, pretend bespoke is way more awesome than pretend off-the-rack anyway. But the point is, a fat woman could not spend $150,000 on clothes at those four department stores if she wanted to. (I didn't actually do the math, but I bet if you added up every item available in plus sizes, you wouldn't hit $150,000.) And in an abstract, will-never-fucking-affect-me way, that really blows.

I think that we need to have as many clinical trials as possible. At least two companies have announced clinical trials of subacute spinal cord injury: Geron (embryonic stem cells) and Alceres (Cethrin).
NACTN is currently studying the natural course of spinal cord injury in the first 12 months (Source) and, since 2009, they are planning to test riluzole treatment of acute spinal cor dinjury (Source).
NASCINet is focused on chronic spinal cord injury, which we define as more than a year after injury and at least 6 months of stable neurological status. NASCINet will be initially doing trials in parallel with ChinaSCINet, assessing umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell transplant and lithium.
Somebody asked for the names of centers that are involved in NASCINet. So, far, we are discussing the clinical trial with the following organizations:
• New Jersey Medical School and Kessler Institute of Rehabilitation.
• Thomas Jefferson School of Medicine and Magee Rehabilitation.
• Shriner's Hospital in Philadelphia
• Brackenridge Hospital in Austin
• Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City
• Long Island Jewish Hospital in Long Island
• Shepard Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta, Georgia
• Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan
• University of Colorado in Denver
I want to emphasize that this is still at the stage of "discussion". We are having investigator meetings right now, exploring what can and cannot be done. The trials have been proposed to the investigators and we have had substantitive discussions. There are still major obstacles that must be overcome, including finalizing the clinical trial protocol, application for regulatory approval, training and vetting of the centers, and successful fundraising.
I am in China now and about a dozen investigators from the centers will be attending meetings in Beijing and Kunming, to see what is being done in China and to participate in a consensus conference to determine the rehabilitation protocol can and should be in the United States for the trial.
I am renaming this topic to North American Spinal Cord Injury Network and sticking it, so that it can become a resource. I am getting a lot of the same questions asked over and over again. People should also check out http://nascinet.org
Dr. Young
The plan of having actual clincial trials in the US that provide a treatment for chronic injury is very exciting.
Your saying the first phase would be 6 months of observation of people standing?
I don't understand the reason for this, maybe I am missing something.
How much would that cost and couldn't that money raised be better used to go to an
actual treatment phase trial?
Any talks with Hopkins or University of Maryland?
Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

shoaib malik
ms Dohni
I saw some here say Dhoni is lucky . yes he is .
Luck always favours the brave.
R_D exactly well said lol
but to answer his question... dhoni should have used seasernth in the middle overs after malik and afridi was out... keep pathan's one over for the end... he could have easly used the older pathan for at least one over during this pressure time of pakistan... face it pakistan not only lost malik but afridi also in the same over... older pahtan could have bowle the next over..and next seasernth...
well pakistan didn't play good... the total score of 157 on that pitch was nothing... india was lucky to get nazir out..
The best test match ever
all i have to say is - If Misbah Ul Haq didnt replace his head with a pumpkin, Pakistan wouldve won quite easily.
I mean hes got their slowest bowler bowling, why can't he back himself and smash the ball going for a boundary and if you mistime it, at least you know you tried. Instead he made a stupid decision a very low percentage shot and he will be thinking about how he couldve played that ball for weeks to come.

India would have won VERY comfortably. He was by far the best Pakistani batsman on that day. Pakistani fans to look at their 'stars' if they insist on blaming their team for losing not the gallant Misbah-ul-Haq

Great Human Odyssey
Season 43 Episode 12 | 1h 53m 7s
Our ancient human ancestors once lived only in Africa in tiny bands of a few thousand hunter-gatherers. Then we moved out of our African cradle, spreading rapidly to every corner of the planet. How did we acquire the skills, technology and talent to thrive in every environment on earth? How did our prehistoric forebears cross the Sahara, survive frigid ice ages, and sail to remote Pacific islands?

I am new to jave and I have one qoestion. I am asked to code DAO layer only,
I can write the code like in DAO layer we write to post some field to the database. I can write the method but I dont know if it really works or not.
As I dont know how to trigger the method in the first place as it doesn''t have a UI.
How do we trigger to run a DAO method only when there are no other flow which triggers this method to run.
In short how to test or debug if this and only this method is working. I need this immediately for my work so please reply as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Besa Shahini is one of an increasing number of well-educated and widely-travelled young Kosovar women. But Besa is also one of the few who've returned from abroad. She is the co-founder of IKS, the Kosovar Stability Initiative (in Albanian: Iniciativa Kosovare per Stabilitet), an independent, non-profit think tank, which conducts empirical research on the social and economic situation in Kosovo. "I was convinced," says Besa, "that in a place where no reliable data can be found, the only way to really change policy and have an impact was through detailed empirical research."
Like hundreds of thousands of Kosovars, Besa had to flee Kosovo during the 1999 war. She was 16 at the time. She found permanent refuge with cousins living in Canada, entered school and graduated from the York University in Toronto in 2004 with a major in Political Science and Public Administration.
For Besa, growing up in Kosovo during the Milosevic era was a period of great change:
"I remember being very confused about who I am and what I believe in, confused about my heroes and my enemies, and most importantly, about who I was: a Yugoslav, a proud Pioneer, an Albanian, a Kosovar? On Christmas Day 1989, at age 7, my brothers and I proudly sang Pioneer songs in Serbian and Albanian at my mother's workplace before we received our New Year's presents. Then, in 1990, my mother lost her job – just like thousands of other Albanians who did not accept the revocation of Kosovo's autonomy and the new Serb rule. No more presents at mom's work. I also stopped being a Pioneer".
"In autumn 1990, at the start of the new school year, when I was nine, all the Albanians at my primary school, myself included, were prevented from going back to school. It was one day that autumn, on my way home, that I saw my 1st grade Serbian language teacher, with whom I got along with so well, dressed in a soldier's uniform – and walking to the Yugoslav Army base east of Pristina. We looked at each other sadly and said nothing. Not even 'hello'."
Besa Shahini
For the next nine years – from 1990 to 1999 – Kosovo Albanians ran a parallel education system, using a curriculum different from that of Serbia. Classes for high school and university students were organized in private houses. Most primary school children were allowed back into their schools, where Albanian and Serb students attended different classes.
"In 1993, when I was 11, our history lessons changed drastically," says Besa. "Partisan 'heroes' from WWII turned into Serb enemies, and Albanian 'traitors' who cooperated with the Germans in WWII turned into heroes – this, for having helped found Albanian schools in Kosovo, the first of their kind since Kosovo fell under the rule of what became Yugoslavia in 1913.
In 1997, at the age of 15, Besa was listening to bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Nirvana, and – since Serb authorities had destroyed the Albanian editions or removed them from the National Library – reading Herman Hesse in Serbian. She was trying to live a normal teenage life, all while trying to avoid the Serb checkpoints that kept springing up around town. She was also a regular at demonstrations organized by Albin Kurti against the discrimination of Albanian students.
It was that year that Besa's brother, first cousin, and two best male friends went abroad to study and work – to Slovenia, the UK, and Germany, respectively."Boys from my school, 15 to 17 years old, would emigrate illegally to Europe in groups of 2 to 3 in hopes of finding employment and better schooling – and to escape police harassment".
In Pristina, Besa remembers, the situation worsened. "In 1998, when I was 16, I was woken up one morning by the sound of Serb bombs in the villages around Pristina. I was rebelling against my parents and against everything that was happening in Kosovo. I dreamed of joining the Kosovo Liberation Army and peeling potatoes for them, thinking that fighting for human rights in Kosovo was the only way I could give some meaning to my teenage life."
Even after having studied and lived in Canada for many years, Besa dreamed of coming back. "I always planned to go back to Kosovo. I constantly felt guilty for having had the opportunity to live a better life abroad, compared to the rest of the people of my age who remained in Kosovo."
In 2003, Besa joined ESI as a researcher, and begun working in the municipalities of Viti and Gjilan, as well as contributing to ESI's documentary on Mitrovica. In 2004 Besa and two of her colleagues set up IKS . "I wanted to set up a Kosovar equivalent of ESI, an organization that would use its sources in Kosovo to access information, to strengthen the arguments that we were presenting, to start policy debates."
IKS has focused on the problems of urban planning and development in Pristina. "Through IKS I learned a lot about Kosovo," says Besa. "Finding out that – contrary to popular belief – the city of Pristina did not have more than 250,000 inhabitants was a shocking discovery. The official figures ranged from 300,000 to 650,000. After months of detailed research, looking at all the data indicators we could find, from school enrolments to old and new municipal household surveys to voting lists, we kept coming up with a figure of 250,000. […] The municipal policy geared toward accommodating up to 650,000 people was based on wrong data!"
It was a battle to get the conclusions accepted, Besa says. "In 2006, I attended a conference on 'good governance and urban planning' with over 150 participants working on urban and spatial planning in Kosovo, both internationals and Kosovars. I gave a short presentation... The then Director of Urban Planning of Pristina Municipality, furious that I was criticising the planning process in the city, and even more furious about the positive feedback I was getting from the audience, stood up and accused me of falsifying data, of being paid by the UN Habitat Office (a sworn enemy of his Planning Department), and [threatened] to take me to court for disrupting the urban planning process in Pristina. I knew then that our report on Pristina had had some impact!"
So did it matter then that she, a young, foreign-educated woman, was challenging the authorities in Kosovo, nearly all of whom were run by men? Besa says: "This did matter – it made my job both harder and easier at the same time. At first, no government official I had to work with or interview would take me seriously, but this was mostly because of my age. I had to prepare well for meetings in order for people to see me as being on the same level as they. Later, when I had to present our findings, some of which provoked quite uncomfortable debates (on population numbers in the capital, municipal budget expenditures, mismanagements in municipal governments, etc.), it actually proved beneficial to be a young woman. I have been told that I did not look too threatening to the officials whom I would debate on television…"
Besa also started to encourage IKS researchers to look at the position of women across Kosovo. "Women cannot be empowered in a society that is poor and where they have to cling to traditional patriarchal structures in order to survive economic difficulties. During our research in villages in Kosovo, a common [explanation for] why not all girls are sent to high school was that 'Educating children costs money and girls, when they grow up, marry into another family, which makes them a dead investment; their education, which could lead to future employment, will only bring benefits to the family into which they marry'. When financial resourses are scarce, the family decides to educate the boy."
What this calls for, Besa says, is publicly funded education – not only tuition, as it is now, but also material resources, "books and the provision of transport, which are not affordable for poor families."
Besa is currently living in Berlin, enrolled at the Hertie School of Governance. She says:
"A masters degree in public policy brings added perspective to my work. Being reminded of all the actors involved in policy making and the challenges they all face – this makes it so much clearer for me how important the work of an independent think tank is in ensuring that policy making is a well-informed and transparent process."

Royal Society SE Asia Rainforest Research Programme
How can we conserve one of the most species-rich rainforests on the planet?
Earthwatch scientist Dr. Glen Reynolds' research may hold the key to managing Borneo's rainforests and the plants and animals that depend upon them.
The once-vast rainforests of Borneo drew Dr. Reynolds from early in his career. Though the forests have been cut and burned for decades to support local communities, he has been active in raising awareness and working to preserve the incredible number of plant and animal species on the island. Most exciting to Dr. Reynolds are programs he is building along with Malaysian and international groups that promise economic growth together with environmental protection. Could palm oil and tourism help save the rainforests of Borneo?
Spreading the word about the importance of Borneo's rainforests is a passion for Dr. Reynolds - a passion he shared with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when he took them on a guided tour of the 43,800-hectare (169-square-mile) Danum Valley Conservation Area. The royal couple has a strong interest in conservation and the welfare of animals such as orangutans and proboscis monkeys. The highlight of the tour was an elevated walk through the forest canopy for the royal couple, whose support is an important step toward protecting the region.
Earthwatch scientist Dr. Reynolds' research may hold the key to managing Borneo's rainforests and the plants and animals that depend upon them.
Can Borneo's rainforests recover from damage and survive climate change?
"By working with us, you will be contributing not only to the knowledge base, but directly to the conservation and restoration of the rainforests of Borneo and the wider region."
Dr. Glen Reynolds
Earthwatch Scientist

Hey guys! I'm totally stoked to present to you with another tutorial! In this fun new lesson, we'll be learning, "how to draw a fantasy girl", step by step. This chick has matching colors and patterns as her soul creature, the fairy dragon. You don't understand how much fun I had creating this girl and the dragon, the coloring was the most adventurous part. If you'd like to get your inspiration juices flowing, be sure to checkout Pandora Radio, which includes tons of cool music, related to the band or song you insert as a channel. What else is cool is that you can add a variety of music to the channel by adding diverse types of songs or artists. I totally urge you to check it out since I've found out about SO much heart pumpin' music, to get those hands speedin' for art creation. So, this tutorial is pretty long, mainly because of the little dragon character and the clothes for the girl. I made sure I tried keeping the girl as simple as possible with the clothing and hair style. Before this change was made, I had long hair with two longer strands streaming from the sides of her ears. It was cool, but it was too complex. I'm planning on doing another anime/fantasy styled drawing, but on a gryphon rider. Well, I've gotta plunge outta here, I hope you'll have an epic time with this tut. Thank you SO much for viewing and don't forget to leave behind your thoughts on the tut!
