Probably Not Effective Treatments
Tinnitus aurium is the technical term for ringing in the ear, although it may actually involve sounds better described as buzzing, roaring, or hissing. The noise can be intermittent or continuous and can vary in pitch and loudness. Most people have experienced tinnitus occasionally for a minute or two. However, some people have tinnitus continuously, over long periods of time. It can range from a minor annoyance to a serious and nearly intolerable condition.
Exposure to loud noise can lead to tinnitus, as can ear obstructions, ear infections , otosclerosis (abnormal bone growth in the ear), head injuries, or heart and blood vessel disorders. In some cases, treating the underlying disorder will relieve the tinnitus. However, in many cases, the cause can neither be found nor treated.
One approach involves covering up the noise to make it more tolerable. This includes using hearing aids or tinnitus maskers (devices worn in the ear that emit pleasant sounds), or simply playing music to cover the noise. Avoiding loud noises, nicotine, aspirin, caffeine, and alcohol may help, since these often aggravate tinnitus.
Drugs such as carbamazepine, benzodiazepines, and tricyclic antidepressants may be tried, although none of these have been proven effective for tinnitus.
Proposed Natural Treatments
There are no well-documented natural treatments for tinnitus.
Several studies have evaluated Ginkgo biloba extract for treating tinnitus, but the results have been conflicting. 2-7,18 While some small studies found benefit, the largest and best-designed of these trials found no benefit. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 1,121 individuals with tinnitus were given 12 weeks of treatment with standardized ginkgo at a dose of 50 mg 3 times daily. 8 The results showed no difference between the treated and the placebo group.
A separate set of researchers performed an additional study on ginkgo for tinnitus, and then additionally conducted a meta-analysis (statistically rigorous review) of the published data. Their conclusion: The evidence is strong enough to state that ginkgo does not benefit tinnitus. 20
One double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that zinc deficiency was common in people with tinnitus. 21 Zinc supplements appeared to help, but the study was too small to provide statistically meaningful results. In contrast, another small double-blind, placebo-controlled study of people with tinnitus did not discover frequent zinc deficiency and failed to find any benefit with zinc supplements. 12
Vitamins A and E in combination, vitamin B 12 , glutamic acid, ipriflavone , oxerutins , and periwinkle have also been suggested for the treatment of tinnitus, but as yet the supporting evidence for their use remains far too weak to rely upon. 9-10,13-15
Melatonin may improve sleep in people with tinnitus; however, it doesn't appear to have any effect on the tinnitus itself. 16,17
Very weak evidence, far too weak to rely upon at all, hints that the supplement CoQ 10 might be useful in some cases of tinnitus. 22
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a specialized type of magnet therapy that has been studied as a possible treatment for tinnitus. However, a review of 5 randomized trials comparing real rTMS to sham rTMS in 233 people with tinnitus found limited evidence to support its use for this indication. 24 The authors highlighted the need for more studies with larger sample sizes.
Several studies of acupuncture for tinnitus failed to find benefit. 1,11,23 In fact, acupuncture was found to be ineffective as treatment for tinnitus symptoms in a review of 13 low-quality randomized trials with 616 patients. Only one of two open trials showed long-term improvement. 25
Biofeedback , massage therapy , and hypnosis have also been tried, but the results have been mixed at best. 1

Drug Device Combination Products Market (Drug Eluting Stents, Infusion Pumps, Photosensitizers, Orthopedic Combination Products, Wound Care Combination Products, Inhalers, Transdermal Patches, Intraocular Implants and Drug Eluting Beads) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/30/2014 -- Drug Device Combination Products Market was valued at USD 66.0 billion in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 115.1 billion in 2019.
Browse the full report with complete TOC at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/drug-device-combination.html
Drug device combination products are therapeutic products that combine a drug and a medical device chemically and/or physically, to beproduced as a single product. These products can be designed for local as well as systemic drug delivery.With the advances in medical technology, medical devices have changed their definition to more complex devices which assist in improving the efficiency of drugs in therapeutic treatments. These innovations have also made it difficult for regulatory agencies to classify and provide guidelines for safety and validation of these products.Newer developments in drug device combination products have yielded several products for targeted drug delivery within the body. Clinical trials for drug device combination products are more comprehensive and expensive coupled with complications as compared to those required for individual drug and device.
Growing elderly population combined with rise in risk for cardiovascular diseases, asthma and various other chronic disorders contribute to the growth of this market particularly in emerging economies of Middle East, India and China. Moreover, technological advancessuch as biodegradable implants coupled with increase in access and recognition of these technologies in emerging market, will serve as an opportunity for investors to invest in.
The global market for drug device combination products has been studied from the perspective of current widely used various product types.The report provides a detailed analysis of drug eluting stents which are segmented into coronary stents and peripheral vascular stents while the infusion pumps include implantable infusion pumps and ambulatory infusion pumps. Inhalers include metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and nebulizers. The others segment comprises intraocular implants and drug eluting beads. The market estimations for transdermal patches, orthopedic combination products such as bone graft implants and antibiotic loaded bone cements, wound care combination products and photosensitizers have also been provided in the report for the forecast period 2013-2019.
The overall market for drug device combination products is fragmented owing to number of small players involved in respective product segments. In 2012, transdermal patches accounted for the largest share by revenue at USD 25.1 billion of the total drug device combination products market. However, due to the product recalls and consequent stringent regulatory approval procedures, the overall market revenue is expected to decline during the forecast period in the U.S and Europe.The market for inhalers accounted for the second largest share at over USD 20billion in 2012. It is estimated that the global market for inhalers will grow at a CAGR of over 8% from 2013 to 2019, owing to its high incidence rates of asthmatic and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.
Geographically, North America dominatedthe global market for drug device combination products in terms of revenue generation and is expected to maintain its position throughout the forecast period. Theadoption of drug eluting stents, implants, growing elderly population and rise in incidences of hypertension and obesity in the U.S., is expected to contribute to the leadership of the North American market. Europe was the second largest regional market for drug device combination productsin 2012, owing to the increased demand for drug eluting stents and infusion pumps.
The global drug device combination products marketis segmented as follows:

The file cache is turned on by default. The file cache settings are contained in a file called nsfc.conf. You can use the Server Manager to change the file cache settings. For more information about nsfc.conf, see the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP9 Administrator's Configuration File Reference.
From the Server Manager, select the Preferences tab.
Select File Cache Configuration.
Select Enable File Cache, if not already selected.
Choose whether to transmit files.
When you enable Transmit File, the server caches open file descriptors for files in the file cache, rather than the file contents, and PR_TransmitFile is used to send the file contents to a client. When Transmit File is enabled, the distinction normally made by the file cache between small, medium, and large files no longer applies, since only the open file descriptor is being cached. By default, Transmit File is enabled on Windows, and disabled on UNIX. On UNIX, only enable Transmit File for platforms that have native OS support for PR_TransmitFile, which currently includes HP-UX and AIX. It is not recommended for other UNIX/Linux platforms.
Enter a size for the hash table.
The default size is twice the maximum number of files plus 1. For example, if your maximum number of files is set to 1024, the default hash table size is 2049.
Enter a maximum age in seconds for a valid cache entry.
By default, this is set to 30.
This setting controls how long cached information will continue to be used once a file has been cached. An entry older than MaxAge is replaced by a new entry for the same file, if the same file is referenced through the cache.
Set the maximum age based on whether the content is updated (existing files are modified) on a regular schedule. For example, if content is updated four times a day at regular intervals, you could set the maximum age to 21600 seconds (6 hours). Otherwise, consider setting the maximum age to the longest time you are willing to serve the previous version of a content file after the file has been modified.
Enter the Maximum Number of Files to be cached.
By default, this is set to 1024.
(UNIX/Linux only) Enter medium and small file size limits in bytes.
By default, the Medium File Size Limit is set to 537600.
By default, the Small File Size Limit is set to 2048.
The cache treats small, medium, and large files differently. The contents of medium files are cached by mapping the file into virtual memory (currently only on UNIX/Linux platforms). The contents of small files are cached by allocating heap space and reading the file into it. The contents of large files (larger than medium) are not cached, although information about large files is cached.
The advantage of distinguishing between small files and medium files is to avoid wasting part of many pages of virtual memory when there are lots of small files. So the Small File Size Limit is typically a slightly lower value than the VM page size.
(UNIX/Linux only) Set the medium and small file space.
The medium file space is the size in bytes of the virtual memory used to map all medium sized files. By default, this is set to 10485760.
The small file space is the size of heap space in bytes used for the cache, including heap space used to cache small files. By default, this is set to 1048576 for UNIX/Linux.
Click OK, and then click Apply.
Select Apply Changes to restart your server and put your changes into effect.

Things certainly have been coming up roses for Real Salt Lake forward Fabian Espindola.
Not only did he become a new father just over a month ago, eight days later he scored what proved to be the game-winner at Seattle to become RSL's all-time leading scorer in club history, but he hasn't stopped there. The good times continued to roll Saturday night against Chivas USA as Espindola added his fifth and sixth goals of the season in a 3-0 win at the Home Depot Center.
"He's something else," said midfielder Kyle Beckerman of Espindola. "He's able to finish a lot of chances that some other forwards can't. We hope he can continue that for the rest of the season."
Espindola actually sent his first two shots of the game up high into the stands, but he didn't let that get him down or stop his attacking.
"No. I'm trying to keep going when something bad happens," he said. [You have to] keep going and going, and today I scored, so it's going good."
During RSL's three-week break from MLS action, the team went through several brutal training sessions. Throughout the hard work, Espindola and his form continued to stand out, something coach Jason Kreis took note of.
"Fabian has worked incredibly hard over the last two and a half weeks, much to his chagrin, I think," Kreis said. "He's not the guy that loves to train all the time, but he's really put it in the last two and a half weeks, been incredibly sharp in the training sessions and I think what we saw tonight was a player that got rewarded for all the work he has put in. He had a fantastic game-changing performance for us tonight."
Espindola certainly showed his versatility with his two scores – the first goal came on an assist from Beckerman, as the RSL captain sent a perfectly timed ball in from the right side, with the Argentine connecting to score on a well-placed header.
The second goal, on the other hand, showed both Espindola's speed and touch on the ball. A through ball from Ned Grabavoy found the Argentine streaking down the right side. He carried the ball into the box where he beat former teammate Rauwshan McKenzie before taking one more touch and sending a clinical finish to the back left corner.
And having many training sessions with Espindola last season may have actually hurt McKenzie in this instance – Espindola is a natural left-footed striker, and with him coming down the right side, he usually prefers to cut back to the middle to hit a shot with his favored foot. But this time, Espindola caught McKenzie leaning that way and instead stepped over with his left and pushed it right and by the defender before beating Kennedy to the far post with a left-foot in-swinger.
"When you're on the field, you try stuff. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not," said Espindola of his sweet step-over.
So while things have been especially terrific for Espindola lately, Saturday night's win wasn't too shabby for the rest of RSL Nation either.
"I'm pleased," said Kreis. "What's not to be pleased about? I thought it was the most complete performance we've had this year."

Cazenovia Pierce Smith, editor of the Cazenovia Republican, filmed a quick trip he took around Cazenovia with his video camera the morning of Oct. 17.
The route begins on Route 92, turns left onto Route 20 and continues down Albany Street through the village of Cazenovia.
Then, portions of Fenner, Burton, Burr, William and Linklaen streets can be seen, before a right turn is made onto Seminary Street and then another right turn is made onto Sullivan Street.
Cazenovia Middle and High schools can be seen following left turn onto Emory Avenue, and another left turn is made onto East lake Road. The video ends after a right turn is made into Lakeland Park.

Walks Lead To Losses, Losses Lead To September Exits: A's 2, Angels 1
Somebody wake Scioscia up: Escobar needs to knock off with the walking leadoff batters. Too late now, they've lost this one, and no small thanks to yet another series of crappy plays, including a botched 3-6-1 would-be double play that should have gotten Escobar out of the seventh.
The Angels will be watching this postseason from the sidelines. They're screwing up the small stuff, losing close games, and powerless and/or incompetent at at the plate.
Update: Just embarrassing. .500 WPCT since July 16.
Labels: angels, athletics, recaps
Not THAT embarrassing. Heck, the vaunted Red Sox, the team that has been #1 in most power polls the majority of the season, were 13-14 during the month of June.
well you at least have the Dodgers to console you and watch the coming months - at 2 games back with two teams ahead of them, they're in much better shape here on Aug 3rd.
You should'nt give up on your team so easily. You know every team goes through these stretches. No other AL West teams have what it takes to win it.

It is possible that the main title of the report Chromosome 18, Monosomy 18p is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Chromosome 18, Monosomy 18p is a rare chromosomal disorder in which all or part of the short arm (p) of chromosome 18 is deleted (monosomic). The disorder is typically characterized by short stature, variable degrees of mental retardation, speech delays, malformations of the skull and facial (craniofacial) region, and/or additional physical abnormalities. Associated craniofacial defects may vary greatly in range and severity from case to case. However, such features commonly include an unusually small head (microcephaly); a broad, flat nose; a "carp-shaped" mouth; large, protruding ears; widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism); and/or other abnormalities. Rarely (i.e., in about 10 percent of cases), Monosomy 18p may be associated with holoprosencephaly, a condition in which the forebrain (prosencephalon) fails to divide properly during embryonic development. Holoprosencephaly may result in varying degrees of mental retardation, other neurologic findings, and/or extremely variable midline facial defects, such as the presence of a single, central front tooth (maxillary incisor); closely spaced eyes (hypotelorism); an abnormal groove in the upper lip (cleft lip); incomplete closure of the roof of the mouth (cleft palate); and/or, in severe cases, absence of the nose and/or cyclopia. Cyclopia is characterized by fusion of the eye cavities (orbits) into a single cavity containing one eye.
In some individuals with Monosomy 18p, additional physical abnormalities may be present. Such findings commonly include a short, webbed neck; a broad chest with widely spaced nipples; relatively small hands and feet; and/or an unusually small penis (micropenis) and/or undescended testes (cryptorchidism) in affected males.
Monosomy 18p is usually caused by spontaneous (de novo) errors very early in the development of the embryo that appear to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically).

One Manchester student injured in minor school bus crash
February 21. 2013 11:16AM
MANCHESTER - A Manchester West High School student was taken by ambulance to the hospital for treatment of neck and back pain after a school bus collided with a car on South Willow Street Thursday morning, according to a fire official.
District Chief Michael Gamache said 23 West High students were on the bus, heading for the Manchester School of Technology when the collision happened just after 10 a.m. The student taken to the hospital was the only one injured.
Acting West High Principal John Rist was on the accident scene, and the students were to be brought back to the high school.
The bus was jarred in the collision which Gamache described as minor. Both the car and bus could be driven from the scene, he said.

Brits adopt 'safe surfing' habits
Confidence grows but viruses remain a problem
Nine in 10 Britons take security precautions when surfing online, according to a new survey which goes against previous research that suggested Britain was a nation of cyber-security slackers.
The upbeat poll of 2,000 Brits, commissioned by the British Computer Society (BCS), also found that 92 per cent of online shoppers take active precautions to protect themselves against fraud. Two in three people (64 per cent) have internet access at home.
The BCS reports that its study "demonstrates growing public confidence in the safety of the internet". Shoppers spend an average of £164 per month online. The number of Brits who have purchased over the last 12 months increased from 15.2m to 17.4m.
BCS chief executive David Clarke said: "The fact that the British public are ensuring that their computers are protected from the potential pitfalls of the internet is very encouraging. Installing anti-virus software and a firewall is vital; likewise using a dedicated payment service, or secure payment area of a website when purchasing online. Without taking these precautions, users can run into many problems including losing files or releasing personal banking information."
The study looked at how consumers used home internet access. Two in three (65 per cent) said they used the net for online research or learning, while online purchasing (58 per cent), reading information or news online (46 per cent), and online banking (43 per cent) also came out as popular online activities.
However, 32 per cent of those polled still cited concerns about the security of online banking as a worry, against 34 per cent who were happy to run their accounts online. A significant minority (eight per cent) claimed to have been a victim of online fraud while 42 per cent said they'd been a victim of viruses or spyware infestation. One in five said they had lost data as a result of a computer virus.
The BCS maintains a website about the latest net security threats which can be found here. Get Safe Online also serves as a useful resource for net safety tips. ®

Terrifying Superstitions in Horror Cinema
There are many theories as to why Friday the 13th has become synonymous with bad luck, but we don't want to jinx ourselves by pondering the reasons. Instead, we're looking at ten films that play on our superstitious beliefs revolving around urban legends and other cringe-worthy folklore — and there's no genre that does it better than horror. Each film forces upon its protagonists a gateway to their nightmarish anxieties, usually by way of something like a book, a name, or a sound. Once the dark harbingers grab hold, all the four-leaf clovers, horseshoes, and number sevens in the world can't help them. Feel lucky this Friday the 13th by checking out our unfortunate bunch past the break.
Apparently Virginia Madsen didn't get the memo about the age-old Bloody Mary game, which requires its players to bravely call the name of the supernatural entity several times while gazing into a mirror in a darkened room. Madsen does just that in 1992's Candyman. Trading the tale of a baby-murderer for an urban anxiety legend about a woman in a public housing project that couldn't get 911 to come to her rescue, Bernard Rose's film twists the terrifying myth onto his leading lady. Eventually Madsen's character finds herself evading a dream-like figure while her life transforms into an uncanny version of the frightening story.

Midland Univ. moves ahead with Blair campus plans
Midland Univ. moves ahead with Blair campus plans
FREMONT, Neb. —
Officials at Midland University in Fremont say they plan to acquire the former Dana College campus in Blair in July.
The Fremont Tribune reports Midland President Ben Sasse announced Thursday the private university planned to "have the keys in hand" by July 19, and then would launch a fundraising campaign.
Midland officials hope to raise $11 million in the next 18 months as they work to expand to the campus in Blair, about 20 miles from Fremont.
University officials say the move is needed because of steadily increasing enrollment.
Plans call for Midland students to be on the Blair campus beginning in 2015 or 2016.

Police identify victim of fatal Milford crash as Merrimack manBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
December 20. 2013 10:51AM
MILFORD — Police have identified the victim in a two-car accident on Route 101 on Wednesday morning as Eric M. Lecuyer, 29, of Merrimack.
According to Capt. Chris Nervik of the Milford Police Department, on Wednesday around 10 am, Lecuyer's 2006 Toyota Highlander, headed west on the Route 101 bypass, crossed over into the eastbound lane into the path of a 2001 Chevy pick-up driven by Richard Benotti, 78, of Temple.
The pick-up hit the passenger side of the Highlander and both vehicles went off the road on the eastbound side of the highway. Benotti was not injured in the accident, but Lecuyer was pronounced dead at the scene.
Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be a factor in the crash, said Nervik.
The accident is still under investigation. Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call Milford Police at (603)249-0630.

I'm not familiar with Ontario Provincial law or Canadian Federal laws, but what the cowardly piece of filth did would be considered a hate crime in some US States:
Its definitely harassment and even threatening based 100% on racial prejudice.
I shouldn't be surprised people think this is OK or even funny. It is the Internet after all.
If the piece(s) of filth that threw the banana peels had the courage of their convictions they would have confronted Simmonds personally to let him know they didn't like him because he is black. Instead they anonymously & cowardly threw banana peels at him. The perpetrator(s) is a pathetic loser, just like the pathetic losers on the Internet that try to rationalize this act as being funny or immature.

Our hotel provided proximity to the Victoria and Albert Waterfront, with views of Table Mountain to take your breath away.
The rolling fog flowing over the flat mountain top seemed like a cascading waterfall; locals call it the tablecloth.
The waterfront has an abundance of shops and great restaurants and is also the ferry point to Robben Island, our tour of which was hosted by a former political prisoner - a moving experience.
Our guided travels brought us to Cape of Good Hope, where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet.
Tours included Boulders Beach, where a protected penguin colony has been established, Kirstenbosh National Botanical Gardens, Cape Winelands touring and Table Mountain via a slow rotating tram that carries you up the 1,085-metre mountain.
Up top there's a café, gift store and a great walking trail offering incredible views.
Our journey continued up the east coast, the Garden route, visiting and staying in Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital and home to the Cango caves.
In Plettenberg Bay, our stay at the Hog Hollow Country Lodge was an experience never to be forgotten. The villa is something where stars would go for privacy.
At Knysna Elephant Park, we touched, fed and walked holding the trunks of these massive animals. In Durban, we walked the Golden Mile.
Sunny beaches stretched as far as the eye can see.
In KwaZulu Natal province, the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park at 960 square kilometres, is home to the Big Five African game animals, the lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard.
Our expert guide took us deep within the reserve when our vehicle stopped abruptly; a white bull rhino emerged from the bush and brushed the vehicle on its way past.
Swaziland - This is a country within a country ruled by a king. Along with a game of golf at our hotel, we visited a glass and candle factory where it was impossible to hold back on purchases. A quick border check later brought us back into South Africa. At Kruger National Park, the world-renowned reserve of 19,485 square kilometres, we spotted and caught on camera an elephant rocking a tree to to get an Amarula fruit, with all of us cheering it on. Before ending our South Africa tour in Johannesburg, we travelled the panorama route with stops at three Rondavels (a Westernized version of an African hut).
Zimbabwe - A walking tour of Victoria Falls presented plenty of photo opportunities. Other excursions included a helicopter ride over the falls and gorge; an elephant-ride safari; and a game drive at the Stanley and Livingstone Private Game reserve, ending with dinner under the stars.
Botswana - We drove to Chobe National Park, which has one of the largest concentrations of elephants in the world, and watched several charge at each other. January and February are Africa's summer when temperatures averaged 28C. No rain was encountered during our travels.
This trip gave us a better understanding of Africa. The people are so full of joy despite the hardships and challenges they face.
This vacation left us smiling from beginning to end, with so many treasures bought along the way.
Never had we had a vacation where it is on our minds each day, drawing us back to where the adventure is alive and well.

As they do for every major holiday and would-be birthday, the Carey family visited the Milford graves of their young daughters this past week — this time to mark the 10-year anniversary of a tragedy whose pain will likely never fully disappear.
As they do for every major holiday and would-be birthday, the Carey family visited the Milford graves of their young daughters this past week — this time to mark the 10-year anniversary of a tragedy whose pain will likely never fully disappear.
On July 24, 2002, an early-morning natural gas explosion at 65 Main St. ripped apart the four-unit apartment building where the family lived, leaving 4-year-old Iris in fatal cardiac arrest as an ambulance raced to the hospital and 5-year-old Violet still trapped in the rubble, dead. While parents Tara and Heath Carey and eight other tenants escaped safely, the blast shattered windows in nearby buildings, including the town fire station.
"They were such a major part of our lives," said the girls' grandmother, Cindy Germain of Sandwich, speaking for her daughter, Tara, this past week. "When this comes around, it's very painful."
The couple received a $17.1 million settlement in 2006 shortly before a lawsuit was scheduled for trial. They have tried to rebuild their lives in Sandwich by having three additional children and volunteering at local schools. But two state investigations never identified what sparked the gas, nor what caused the blaze — only ruling out criminal activity.
Mark McDonald, a former utility worker who now heads a group focused on pipeline safety, believes many homes relying on natural gas could still be at risk.
"That's really been one of my motivators, to make sure that doesn't happen again," said McDonald, who has referred to the Carey girls during safety talks given across the country on behalf of the New England Gas Workers Association. He thinks the Hopkinton explosion could have been prevented.
A 2003 report from the then-Department of Telecommunications and Energy reported residents hearing a loud, strange noise in the basement shortly before the blast, described by one as "like a tea kettle ready to burst." Several residents said they also smelled gas shortly beforehand.
Those sounds, McDonald believes, came from a steel pipe that was likely corroded and had possibly been lined with a plastic sleeve, a cheaper and easier makeshift repair common to the industry. When the surrounding pipe corroded far enough, McDonald speculates, it snapped, taking the sleeve with it and dumping gas into the building.
Attorneys for the Careys would later focus on a pipe fitting, made by Inner-Tite Corp. of Holden for NStar. But neither a joint probe by the state fire marshal and Massachusetts State Police nor an investigation by the energy department pinpointed a cause.
"The vast majority of incidences, we rarely know the ignition source," Fire Marshal Stephen Coan said, citing the typical "catastrophic damage" in such cases. The explosion also hindered the examination of the cause, though recovered parts were sent to an independent lab for testing.
While it couldn't tie violations to the explosion, the energy department's pipeline safety division did find that NStar had ignored regulations calling for regular inspections of the building's interior gas pipes for corrosion, leaks and maximum allowable pressure. The department sought to fine the utility $200,000, the maximum allowed by law.
But NStar appealed the fine, and in a 2008 settlement with the division agreed to pay $50,000 and follow the rules. Under the agreement, NStar acknowledged the division's previous findings but no responsibility or wrong-doing.
NStar spokeswoman Caroline Pretyman called McDonald's theory speculation, "not backed by any investigation's findings or tangible knowledge of the case." She said the company was still "deeply saddened" by the tragedy and that it gives top priority to public and employee safety, looking to turn rare explosions into an "obsolete" event.
After the Hopkinton blast, the Legislature and then-Gov. Mitt Romney raised the maximum daily fine from $1,000 to $50,000, and the overall penalty cap from $200,000 to $1 million. The state also required utilities to report their findings and their remediation plans from the home corrosion tests, mandated every three years, and the leak tests, mandated every five.
"That's a significant change," said energy Undersecretary Barbara Kates-Garnick, who oversees the renamed Department of Public Utilities.
McDonald, though, questions how often utilities are actually fined, and says that his talks with their workers have shown that more and more corroded pipes with plastic sleeves are failing.
"What if Hopkinton starts happening everywhere?" he asks. He's working on legislation with Rep. Lori Ehrlich, D-Marblehead, to require more transparency from utility companies and to establish rules for consistently classifying and fixing gas leaks.
In the settlement, NStar paid $12.5 million and Inner-Tite $4.5 million, with the company still making products. Building owner Leonard Pearson, who rebuilt the apartment complex, paid $175,000. None of the parties admitted fault.
In Hopkinton, Fire Chief Ken Clark, then a lieutenant, recalled racing from home to help oversee the rescue and recovery. Many of the firefighters responding from his department and neighboring towns had young children, he said, and received emotional support from fire marshal staff.
"That was a tragic night for Hopkinton," Clark said. "That was a tragic night for the family. That deeply affected a lot of the guys for a long time."

The NCAA would have been justified applying the death penalty to the Penn State football program. It chose not to. But it did hit Penn State hard.
The NCAA fined Penn State $60 million, banned it from participating in a bowl game for four years, and will allow players current and coming in to transfer.
It's tough for most of us to read about Penn State without shaking our head, or our fist. The damage the school did is incalcuable; this wasn't about cheating. This was about ruining the lives of very young men. This was about being more concerned about image than evil.
The penalties the NCAA assessed are more than justified.
So was removing the statute of former football coach Joe Paterno. Onlookers could see little as the school pulled it up and hauled it away.
We've seen enough.

Well, what don't you understand?
The basic idea is that you start with 12 life points, 12 pillz, and you
must reduce the life of your opponent using your fighters in a
maximum of 4 rounds.
Each fighters got 2 mains stats: Power (blue) and Damage (red).
When you choose a fighter to play a round, you can spend some/all of
your pillz on him, that will increase his Attack (attack = power * pillz).
The Attack of your character represents his odds to win the round (ex
if you got an Attack of 10 and your opponent an Attack of 5, you get
twice more chances to win the round that him). You can still lose the
round, but you got much more chances to win. When you win the
round, you reduce the life of your opponent by the Damage of your
Special abilities and bonus will be activated as you get stronger and
they will modify the numbers (reduce/increase damage, reduce/
increase power, reduce/increase attack, block ability, block bonus,
strike back, team ability, etc.. etc.. they are many and we add new ones
Then everything is a matter of strategy, chance, careful spending of the
pillz and outsmarting your opponent.
At the end of each match, you get experience points, virtual money
"Clintz" (to use on the market to exchange fighters), fighters level up
I hope this help, please let me know if you need more informations
NN-K_Jun Imperator NASTY NOYP! Saturday 13/05/2006, 06:01
Hey, I think the best thing you can do is learn your characters and choose which you want to level up. You can choose more than 1. Concentrate most of your pillz on that character when playing against someone. Not all of it though. Then, when he levels up, you can choose other characters to level up again. you can choose which character you want in your deck by going to collections, and removing or putting them on the deck, so you can level up all your characters envenly, choose maybe up to 14 characters on your deck. And keep playing even though you know you cant win.
Johnny Typhoon Senior Tuesday 30/05/2006, 07:20
Amen. That is the basics of this game and why I actually like it. Win,lose,I'm the guy with the grin.

CyrilleBerger: I'm aware of those points, but my hypothetical argument still stands. I mean that hard core patent infringement covering all platforms would be harder for microsoft, and if it went insanely general (which is perfectly possible) it would bring it into conflict with apple.
I know that the alternative platforms are off the radar, including even bada, but they can't accuse android of infringing something and then ignore another platform doing the same thing.
On the other hand...
The apple-microsoft agreement relates to design patents, ie soft not hard technology, and even then with a non-copying proviso which basically means that they have an agreement not to troll each other but can sue for genuine infringement.
The VFAT stuff is not such a big deal, for a start because the last of the android-relevant patents on that will have expired a year from now, and because these are just "tasters" that microsoft opens its negotiations (threats) with. They also threaten a very large number of relevant patents which may not be relevant but expensive to prove that. I can only remember microsoft using VFAT to sue TomTom, because they knew they would cave in, and more recently motorola, because they needed something that they stood a chance of succeeding with and they were prepared to use one of their expiring trumps.

By Kristina Taylor
With less than a week until the first BCS Standings of the season are released, college football fans were treated to a weekend of exciting football that shook the polls. It was a dangerous weekend to be ranked in the top five, as No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 all lost this past Saturday.
No. 11 Florida 14, No. 3 LSU 6
Despite only having 47 yards of total offense and just 16 on the ground in the first half, Florida remained calm, cool and collected. The Gator rushing attack came alive in the second half as Mike Gillislee ran for a career-high 146 yards and two touchdowns as the Gators down the 3rd-ranked Tigers 14-6. This was one of the best SEC old school defensive matchups as Florida kept LSU out of the endzone for the first time this season.
North Carolina State 17, No. 4 Florida State 16
After a disappointing loss to Miami a week ago, North Carolina State overcame a 16-point deficit in the second half to upset No. 4 Florida State. On fourth and goal, senior quarterback Mike Glennon found Bryan Underwood for a 2-yard TD pass with 16 seconds remaining. The Wolfpack's win shakes up things not only in the ACC but also in the BCS.
No. 6 South Carolina 35, No. 5 Georgia 7
Sixth-ranked South Carolina dominated the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs from start to finish as the Gamecocks put together one of its most complete efforts on the season. Steve Spurrier's team finished with 392 yards of offense while holding the Bulldogs' offense to a season-low 224 total yards.
No. 7 West Virginia 48, No. 9 Texas 45
No. 7 West Virginia now seems to be the team to beat in the Big 12. Heisman frontrunner Geno Smith passed for four touchdowns and has yet to throw an interception this season. Sophomore running back Andrew Buie added two touchdowns and a career-high 207 yards including a 5-yard TD run with 1:18 left that helped the Mountaineers knock off the ninth-ranked Longhorns 48-45.
After an eventful September, October has been nothing short of thrilling in college football. Conference matchups dominate the remaining schedule and teams will jockey for position in the BCS Standings on a weekly basis. It's the same old story from the SEC as Alabama is expected to debut as the top team in the first BCS Standings. But teams from the Pac-12 (Oregon) and Big 12 (West Virginia) will challenge for the top spot in the land.
This coming Saturday, the game to watch is No. 3 South Carolina visiting No. 8 LSU. The Gamecocks will look to make a statement against the Tigers who are looking for a bounce back win of their own. Expect defense to be the calling card of this matchup. On the offensive side of the ball, No. 21 Texas A&M visits No. 24 Louisiana Tech in a matchup of very balanced offenses. Louisiana Tech could make a strong case as a BCS buster with a victory over the Aggies.

Five years later, as President George W. Bush launches a Commission on Mental Health to recommend changes in the nation's treatment system for mental illness, Imagining Robert: My Brother, Madness and Survival, is making rounds again as a one-hour documentary. The true story about two brothers and their family's experience with schizophrenia is enough to move an audience not only to tears-but also political action. The New York premiere of the film is scheduled for June 11, 2002 at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, sponsored by the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) New York City Metro affiliate. A panel discussion with Jay and Robert Neugeboren and representatives of Fountain House, Project Renewal, and NAMI NYC Metro also will be held. On June 27, NAMI also will present the film at its national convention in Cincinnati, as part of the theme "Building Communities of Hope." A panel discussion at the convention will include producer Larry Hott, Project Renewal director Jim Mutton, NAMI national board vice-president Patricia Warburg Cliff, and NAMI Stigmabusters coordinator Stella March. Funded in part by the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities, Imagining Robert premiered on April 28 at Smith College. Award-winning novelist Jay Neugeboren who wrote the memoir on which the documentary is based, retired last year from the University of Massachusetts This past week, the film was presented to legislators at the State House in Boston. It also will be shown at the Massachusetts State Hospital in Tewksbury on June 20. "Imagining Robert will make an important contribution to public education and dialogue about mental illness in the months ahead," said NAMI Executive Director Richard C. Birkel, Ph.D. "It provides a very human look at the harshness of the past and the present promise of recovery. It should remind all of us, as a society, that no one-not any individual, nor any family-should ever be abandoned." Photographs, transcripts and a calendar of screenings are available at www.imaginingrobert.org. The film is available through Films for the Humanities & Sciences at www.films.com or 1-800-257-5126. Information about the filmmakers, Larry Hott and Diane Garey, who have won an Emmy, Peabody and two Academy Award nominations for previous works, is available at www.florentinefilms.org. For almost 40 years, Robert lived in a mental health system in which his treatment changed with every new doctor or potential cure. He has been in state hospitals, city hospitals, halfway houses, group homes, treatment center, jail cells, and briefly, independent apartments. A turning point came when he was doing well enough to be moved from a locked ward at South Beach Psychiatric Center on Staten Island, but his psychiatrist refused. The doctor dismissed his brother Jay's complaints, saying sarcastically: "Talk to the Governor." As a professional writer, Jay was a formidable advocate. Like many NAMI family members, he wrote the Governor, insisting that there had to a better way to treat his brother. The Governor responded, just as many NAMI families today are hoping that President Bush's commission will respond by opening doors to better treatment and recovery. Today, Robert lives at Project Renewal, a sunny residence in New York for people with mental illness, some of whom were once homeless. He has the freedom to come and go, and in the film, spends time with his brother on several outings. Their interaction is moving and at times funny. Themes of family and history predominate. Schizophrenia is presented as something terrible that happened to them-but clearly not the essence of their souls. In addition to the Massachusetts program of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the film is funded by the Animating Democracy Initiative of Americans for the Arts, funded by the Ford Foundation; the Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Journalism and the Carter Center; and the Massachusetts Media Award, a program of the Boston Film and Video Foundation and Massachusetts Arts Council.

woah, i was just about to say that and I'm a lingua latina loser!

but awesome workMagistra wrote:
the imperative usually begins the sentence

Both words can mean "unfortunate", yet from different points of view.

Infelix denotes a lack of of prosperity, of good luck. The opposite is felix (surname of L. Sulla denoting he was a favourite of Fortuna).

Miser draws attention to someone's sorry state : "wretched, pitiable". The opposite is beatus.

So you can be infelix without feeling miser, and you can be miser without being infelix (if you are a poor little rich boy).

Both words are often put together : miser atque infelix, Cicero says.

bingley wrote:
I put miseri first and then changed it to infelices, since that was a recent vocabulary item. What is the difference?

It was generally speaking a good idea, but here it implies that the particular appearance of each fugitive is important, or even that each fugitive has got many appearances.
Specie means "from the point of view of appearance in general". Cf. Caesar : Hi omnes lingua... inter se differunt "All these differ from each other in language...", although there are many languages.

I put specibus (which should have been speciebus) because I assumed a different appearance for each of the fugitives. Was that wrong?

Ablative absolute was more natural here because it allows to express anteriority.

Hac exercitatione difficillima optime confecta ostendisti te in studiis latinis multum proficere. Feliciter !
I like the ablative absolute, but present participles was one of the themes for this unit, so that's what I went with.

It was a Super Saturday for the West Boylston/Tahanto Regional High School football team.
For only the second time in program history, the Lions are Super Bowl Champions.
Led by a ferocious defense, West Boylston/Tahanto defeated Leicester, 14-6, to capture the Division 5 Super Bowl on Saturday morning at Worcester State University's John F. Coughlin Field.
The top-seeded Lions finish the season with a 12-1 record, the most wins by a football team in school history.
The undefeated 1988 team, which went 11-0, was the school's first Super Bowl champion.
The defending D-5 champion Wolverines, the third seed in the postseason tournament, end their season at 10-3.
To put a little icing on the cake, it was West Boylston/Tahanto head coach Dave Tinglof's 39th birthday.
"This (Lions) team played great and, as usual, our defense came through, as it has all season." Tinglof said. "They played awesome. I am so proud of these guys."
With light snow falling throughout the game, both teams relied on their running games.
After the West Boylston/Tahanto defense forced Leicester to punt on four downs on its first possession, the Lions took over at midfield.
Keeping the ball on the ground, West Boylston/Tahanto alternated carries by senior fullback Mike Pace and junior running back Devin Desautels to move the ball to the Wolverine 2 in nine plays.
With 4:45 left in the first quarter, senior quarterback Steven Gould bulled his way into the end zone.
Behind blocks by senior captain Matt Loureiro and junior tight end Kyle McCubrey, Desautels motored around right end for the two-point conversion.
The Lions owned an 8-0 lead.
On its next possession, Leicester, also relying on its ground game, put together its best drive of the contest.
The Wolverines engineered a 16-play drive, culminating in a 1-yard plunge by junior quarterback Drew Mazzeo. There was 7:32 left in the first half, with Leicester using nearly eight minutes on the touchdown drive.
On the two-point conversion attempt, Loureiro, at his defensive end position, hammered Leicester back Nicholas Kenneway to the ground to keep the Lions in the lead, 8-6.
The two teams exchanged possessions during the remainder of the first half, but neither could mount a credible drive.
West Boylston/Tahanto held an 8-6 advantage at the break.
The third quarter was fought in the trenches, with both team's defenses making big plays.
However, early in the fourth quarter, the Lions scored the winning touchdown.
On the first play of the frame, West Boylston/Tahanto was stopped on fourth down from the Wolverine 7 after engineering a 10-play drive.
The Lions' defense, once again, stood tall, and forced Leicester to punt in four downs.
West Boylston/Tahanto took over on the Wolverine 39. With the weather deteriorating, Tinglof decided to take a chance and put the ball in the air.
The gamble paid off.
On first and 10 from the 39, Gould rolled to his left and threw a 38-yard strike to junior split end Bryan Hayes, who had been double-teamed the entire game.
Two plays after Hayes' catch, the Lions were knocking on the door.
On third and goal from the Leicester 1, Pace burst into the end zone for the game winner thanks to blocks by Loureiro and McCubrey.
The two-point conversion run was no good.
The West Boylston/Tahanto defense held the Wolverines on their next possession, and then the offense was able to run out the clock.
"We moved the ball when we had to," Tinglof said. "Mike Pace, Steve Gould, Ben Tasker, just all of them, had great games."
Pace, as he has done all season, gave credit to the offensive line, known as "The Horsemen."
"They (Leicester) have a real good defense, but the Horsemen came through," Pace said of the winning touchdown. "They knew what they had to do, and I just followed my blockers."

Solar project panned, but wins approval in ConcordBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 16. 2014 12:08AM
CONCORD — The Executive Council on Tuesday approved a $1.2 million grant from the state's renewable energy fund for a solar project in Peterborough, but not without protest from Councilor Chris Sununu, R-Newfields, whose tough questioning of project proponents prompted a mild rebuke from the governor.
Councilor Debora Pignatelli, D-Nashua, said the plan by Water Street Solar of Lowell to install ground-mounted solar panels near the Peterborough Waste Water Treatment Plant would create the largest photovoltaic array in the state.
"It will also set an example for other municipalities looking to save on energy costs," she said.
The array will generate nearly one megawatt of power (947 kilowatts), and will be nearly twice the size of the largest existing solar generator in the state — a 500-kilowatt array atop the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport parking garage, according to Jack Ruderman, director of the Sustainable Energy Division at the Public Utilities Commission.
Peterborough will use the electricity for its waste water treatment plan, community center and other town buildings, with the surplus going into the grid for sale as solar-generated energy. The town is guaranteed a cost of 8 cents per kwh, compared to its current average cost around 9 cents per kwh.
Water Street Solar will own and operate the generator.
Sununu questioned the estimated savings for Peterborough from the project, and called the approval "a drastic mistake." He said the project sponsors did not document the projected savings of $240,000 to Peterborough in electricity over the next 20 years.
"You guys are creating assumptions so you can get to a positive return and get this approved," he said.
That led to an angry response from PUC Chair Amy Ignatius. "It's fair for you to disagree," she said, "but it's absolutely unfair to suggest we are somehow cooking the process here to get to a certain result."
Sununu continued to press the senior project developer Joe Harrison from Water Street Solar on Peterborough's energy costs, after which Gov. Maggie Hassan said, "I think it's important to address the people who come here to provide us with information in as supportive a way as possible."
Pignatelli said after the meeting that she was "appalled" at the way Harrison was treated.
Sununu was unapologetic. He acknowledged the state law that requires the PUC to promote solar energy and other renewables, but said public funds are being thrown away on a project that was good for Peterborough but a poor investment for the state.
"The law says we have to do solar," he said after the meeting, "but it doesn't say we have to do bad solar."
Harrison admitted in a later interview that Peterborough does not have a guaranteed savings contract. "They are taking some risks," he said. If market prices drop below 8 cents per kwh, Peterborough is stuck at 8 cents. "But if prices go up to 11 cents, then they save more."
Ruderman pointed out that generating more solar electricity to help utilities meet renewable energy requirements is an additional benefit from the project, along with reducing carbon emissions by an estimated 522 tons per year.
The total cost of the project is estimated at $2.6 million, with the balance raised by Water Street Solar, a subsidiary of Borrego Solar of Lowell created exclusively to manage the Peterborough project.
The proposal was approved on a 3-1 vote, with Pignatelli, Councilor Chris Pappas, D-Nashua, and Councilor Colin Van Ostern, D-Concord, in favor.
Construction is expected to start in the fall and wrap up in the spring of 2015.
Judges confirmed
In other action, the council confirmed three new judges to the Superior Court: Charles S. Temple of Concord; Lawrence A. MacLeod Jr., of Lebanon; and David A. Anderson of Portsmouth.
David S. Forrest of Temple and Elizabeth M. Leonard of Concord were confirmed as judges to serve on the state's Circuit Court.
The council accepted the resignation of Thomas E. Bamberger as judge in the Ninth Circuit Court in Nashua.
