Communication Office, Vermont Department of Health, 802-863-7281
Mark Bosma, Public Information Officer, Vermont Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, (800) 347-0488
BURLINGTON – With record rain levels in May, near record levels in June, and periods of heavy rain predicted this evening, the Vermont Department of Health and Vermont Emergency Management are reminding everyone to heed warnings and take all precautions to protect health and safety.
Stay tuned to local news for current information and plan ahead for power outages and potentially moving to higher ground.
Never walk or drive through flooded areas. Even a few inches on the road can cause your vehicle to hydroplane and crash. The power of rushing water can quickly erode and wash out roadways, making them hazardous.
Prepare for power outages. Fill water containers now in case the power goes out and you lose the use of safe running water for drinking or cooking. Power up your cell phones and flashlights now, just in case. If the power goes out, keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to keep foods safe.
Stay well away from downed power lines and trees even if if looks like there's clearance. With current conditions, a tree halfway down can come crashing down without warning. Electricity can travel through water and hurt or kill you.
Beware of high waters: When it floods, rivers, streams and roads may carry harmful bacteria and chemicals. High waters mean that favorite swimming areas may be too dangerous for boating, swimming and recreation at this time.
Private drinking water wells may be affected by flooding. If there is a change in quality – odor or taste of well water – assume that it is contaminated, take all precautions and get it tested to make sure it is safe to drink.
For health and safety information before and after a flood visit: http://healthvermont.gov/enviro/water/flood.aspx#cleanup

Metallica to Perform 'Black Album' in Its Entirety in 2012
In news that should prove far more exciting for Metallica fans than their recent collaboration with Lou Reed, the metal legends have announced plans to perform their multi-platinum self-titled effort — commonly referred to as 'The Black Album' — in its entirety next year.
There's a catch, however: so far it looks like they'll only be doing these shows on the summer European festival circuit – with the first date happening in the UK, where Metallica will be headlining the 10th annual Download Festival at Donington Park on June 9.
The concert will mark Metallica's eighth appearance at Donington, which has served as Download's home as well as the site of the Monsters of Rock Festival. They've been away for awhile, however, which drummer Lars Ulrich acknowledged in the band's statement announcing the show. "Six years is way too long to be away from the hallowed grounds of Donington Park," said Ulrich. "We are beyond psyched and feel privileged to come back once again to soak up the energy and vibe of the most legendary of festival sites."
The festival's organizers share the band's enthusiasm. "I am absolutely bowled over that Metallica will be playing The Black Album at the 10th anniversary of Download," said Live Nation VP Andy Copping. "The album is up there as one of the greatest albums of all time, everyone knows the songs. The Download Festival has come a long way since we first started in 2003, and to have Metallica back to help us celebrate this milestone is just fantastic."
With sales of over 15 million units, 'The Black Album' is the most successful album of the SoundScan era. Spawning three Top 40 singles and reaching No. 1 on a variety of worldwide charts — including Billboard's Top 200 Albums tally — it cemented Metallica's status as one of the biggest bands in the world. In the years since, Metallica has dedicated itself to relentlessly looking forward, adjusting its image and its sound, sometimes to the chagrin of fans who only wanted another 'Enter Sandman.' (Editor's note: or another 'Kill 'Em All.')
Those fans will have their chance to relive those memories next summer, but they'll have to start saving up for tickets (and plane tickets) now. Festival sales start next Friday at 9 AM through the Download website.

LA Kings eager to lift Stanley Cup in Game 5
LOS ANGELES (AP) Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals is the hottest ticket in Hollywood.
Fans are paying hundreds of dollars for the cheapest seats at Staples Center on Friday night. Thousands more are expected downtown, simply hoping to be nearby when the Los Angeles Kings claim the Cup for the second time in three years.
The Kings are trying to block out every iota of anticipation. They know they can't think about anything but the first period against the New York Rangers, or they'll likely face another cross-country flight in what's already the longest postseason in NHL history.
When the Kings closed in on a sweep in the Cup finals two years ago, they were besieged by phone calls, ticket requests and overwhelming attention. They promptly went out and lost twice to the New Jersey Devils before finally finishing in Game 6.
"I guess practice makes perfect," Mike Richards said Thursday after a light skate at the Kings' training complex in El Segundo. "I think everyone is more equipped now, or more ready for it, more aware of what the distractions are and how they can present themselves, and what you need to do to push them away."
The Rangers are in their best spot in the series after winning Game 4 in New York despite Los Angeles' overwhelming control of the final 30 minutes. And though they're 0-2 at Staples Center in the series, the Rangers largely played well – and never trailed – in those two overtime losses.
Goalie Henrik Lundqvist took control of Game 4 with 40 saves, and he's eager to steal another win that would make the Rangers' unlikely quest awfully interesting.
"I know if we win (Game 5), they're definitely going to feel the pressure," Lundqvist said. "We were in that spot playing Montreal. The closer you are to your final goal, obviously you tend to think more. That's just the way you work. It's hard not to."
Here are five things to watch when the Kings attempt to wrap up their second championship in 46 seasons of existence:
GET STARTED: In three of the four games in this series, the Kings have never led in regulation after falling into an early 2-0 hole. That's hardly a formula for a Stanley Cup champion, and Los Angeles is determined to get going more quickly in Game 5. Jarret Stoll said the first period was a major topic of conversation even before the Kings disembarked from their flight home early Thursday morning.
"We know we can do more, especially at the start of games," Stoll said. "That's going to be our focus going into Game 5."
FATIGUE FEARS: The Kings are playing their 26th game of the postseason, matching the 1987 Philadelphia Flyers and the 2004 Calgary Flames – also coached by Darryl Sutter – for the longest playoff run in NHL history. What's more, the Kings are playing their 64th playoff game in the past three years, setting another league record and closing in on their 10th series victory in that span.
Yet physical fatigue hasn't seemed to be much of a problem for the Kings – even for the star players who also suited up at the Sochi Olympics. They also realize the Rangers have played just one fewer playoff game this spring.
"Yeah, it's a lot of games, but it's why we play," Stoll said.
PUCK POSSESSION: The Kings got back to their puck-dominating style of play in the second half of Game 4, outshooting the Rangers 15-1 in the third period. Los Angeles did it too late to finish a sweep, but the finish reminded the Kings how they play at their best. Los Angeles' success is built on defense and puck possession, particularly in clearing the puck out of their own end quickly. If the Rangers can't figure out how to get the puck away from the Kings, they'll have to hope Lundqvist stands on his head again.
"You've got to make plays through traffic," Martin St. Louis said. "We've got to put pucks in areas where we can get it, because if you don't, they bring it right back, and you can never get into your forecheck. (In Game 4) we were trying to get the clock down to zero. We'll have to be better this time."
LONG ODDS: Although the Rangers' task seems straightforward when celebrities at the Garden raise four fingers, the players realize the enormity of their challenge. Of the 26 teams that have faced a 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup finals, only six teams avoided a sweep and only three extended the series to a sixth game. New York addressed the size of the task by splitting it into four bits.
"We're just pretty excited to still be here," Derick Brassard said. "We're going to try to steal a game and go back to the Garden for Game 6, and if we do, everything can happen."
PRESSURE GAME: The Kings didn't mind when Chicago claimed all the pressure in the Western Conference finals rested on Los Angeles, even while the Blackhawks faced the same 3-1 deficit currently staring down the Rangers. Lundqvist hit much the same notes about the Kings' advantage Thursday, but New York also realizes what's at stake.
"We've got plenty of pressure on us to perform, too," Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh said. "If we're not ready, they're going to take advantage."

Monday, August 6, 2012
Headley has told me several times he'd like be part of the team's long-term plans. It means something to him that the Padres drafted, signed and developed him. The team's sour finish to the 2010 season left him with a sense of unfinished business here.
Headley likes being a team leader. Sunday, for example, he checked on several teammates to see who'd go with him to chapel service. If the team has a bad game, Headley takes on the responsibility of answering questions from reporters. He's reliable, both on and off the field. When the Padres staged a BBQ picnic for players and their families after a day game last month, Headley, along with his wife and young child, was among only a few players who showed up. I'm not slighting any of the players who didn't attend. Their personal time is precious in the thick of a season. To me, it was another sign that Headley enjoys being a Padre.
I still think the front office is open to trading Headley this offseason. It's possible that the Padres (along with some in the media and fan base) overestimated his trade value this summer. Hearing and reading some of the trade chatter, I Tweeted that Headley was being puffed up into a hybrid of Schmidt-Brett-Rolen and Brooks Robinson.
Then again, put Headley in the National League Central, and he may put up big numbers -- something like a .280 batting average, 40 doubles, 28 home runs and a .380 on-base percentage. He's told me that, yes, he's imagined what life would be like in a home ballpark that's more suitable to power hitting. Nevertheless, Headley has handled the frustrations of Petco Park better than many other Padres regulars have over the years. He's homered in his last two games at PNP, marking the second time, and first since April 2009, that he's homered in consecutive games in San Diego. The home run he hit on Saturday night was especially impressive, an opposite-field shot to left-center.
Here's another thing to like about Headley: He's in the lineup every day.
He doesn't duck difficult pitchers. That he doesn't require a platoon partner increases Bud Black's tactical flexibility. I also suspect he'd be unhappy about having to sit on the bench. You'll have to trust me on this one: that's not always the case. Some players are happy, even relieved, to be part of a platoon.
3 comments:
I'm hoping he hits another 8-10 home runs and gets another 30 -35 rbi to make padres brass think twice about getting rid of him. i know gyrko is waiting in the wings but lets see what he can do in the show before we trade off one of, if not our best hitter.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 7, 2012 at 3:40 PM
I was in favor of trading him this last deadline but if we do implement plans to move the fences in, this should help slightly increase Chase's numbers at home. I would offer him a 4 - 5 year deal, eating a couple years of his free agency.ReplyDelete
I gotta say, Chase is unequivocally my favorite player on the squad. I can recall during the early stumbling of 2011 when Ludwick and Bartlett were citing the home park and it's canyon-esque dimensions for their struggles. Of course, statistically they were spot-on, but there was Chase, essentially saying "evolve or die".ReplyDelete
As @Ipro said, I really wanna wait on Gyorko, just because Headley has been fantastic. See if he's comfortable in the outfield, and if not, no reason you can't hang onto him or move him for other pieces. I'm only worried that Byrnes might have his hands tied financially with Street/Quentin/Maybin eating up $20 million next year to offer Headley a well-deserved extension.

SOURCE: Immunovative Inc.
November 26, 2012 07:24 ET
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Nov 26, 2012) - Immunovative, Inc. ("IMUN" or the "Company") (OTCQB: IMUN) has today announced that Immunovative Therapies, Ltd. ("ITL") has successfully completed upgrades to its state-of-the-art Jerusalem (Israel) GMP cell manufacturing facility and it's GMP operations in order to comply with the anticipated increased demand and higher level of GMP compliance requirements of advanced clinical trials. The timely completion and validation of this GMP manufacturing facility enables the Company, from a logistics standpoint, to launch a Pivotal Phase II/III trial as planned during early 2013.
The upgraded facility includes two class 10,000 clean room facilities containing class 100 clean operation areas for open procedures (one for AlloStim™ and one for AlloVax™). The facility has interlocked rooms with increasing levels of pressure and air quality. Separate rooms are designed for personnel flow and materials flow with airlocked rooms for sterile gowning for workers within the facility. Clean space for inventory and finished product storage, product packaging and shipping is also included. Improved packaging and shipping methods have been transferred to the manufacturing facility extending the shelf life of formulated AlloStim™ from the previous 4h to 72h. This technological advance allows the formulation to be conducted in Jerusalem under highly controlled GMP conditions and the finished product packaged and shipped by specialized overnight courier to the point-of-care.
The GMP facility, operations and quality systems batch and lot release safety, identity and functional testing have successfully passed a mock FDA inspection performed by the Biologics Consulting Group. These facility and operational upgrades, including the results of the mock inspection and additional validation study reports of QC safety testing methods for sterility and endotoxin detection have been submitted to the US FDA in an informational amendment to the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) section of ITL's Investigational New Drug (NDA) application.
ITL has completed the Installation Qualification (IQ) validation process for the upgraded facility and the Operation Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ) using mock media fill technology are now being initiated. Once PQ is successfully passed, an initial three trial production runs will be conducted and, if successful, the facility will be brought on-line in or about April 2013. These new facilities are designed to be scalable and the production processes are designed in a manner that anticipates adding automation to the process steps in the future for pilot and commercial scale production.
The upgraded GMP facilities incorporate new closed, sterile system technologies for reducing the number of high-risk open procedures in the manufacturing and formulation processes. Technology for a rapid microbiological method (RMM) is also being added in order to detect any potential product sterility failures within 24h (traditional sterility testing requires 14 days). Future upgrades will include automated filling and vialing equipment that is currently being tested and modified for use with living immune cells by the ITL research and development team and is being prepared for transfer to the production facility.
Dr. Michael Har-Noy, founder and CEO of ITL, stated: "Our talented research teams have excelled in developing solutions for a variety of problems encountered in attempting to mass produce living cell products with consistent identity and functional characteristics batch-to-batch. We are very pleased with the progress for developing new manufacturing technology solutions and the rapid and cost-effect manner in which these technologies are being transferred to the manufacturing floor. We are also pleased that we have been successful in developing technology enabling the economical distribution of our formulated cell products. The investments in research and development and these new GMP manufacturing facilities is consistent with our strategic plan to become the world's leading authority for the mass production and distribution of living cell products."
Seth Shaw, CEO of IMUN, stated: "ITL has succeeded in developing technology and building new GMP facilities without the huge capital expenditures that other biological firms have required at this stage of development. This is a credit to the expertise and talent of the ITL management and research teams. The new GMP production facility has enough capacity to support our planned clinical operations over the next 2-3 years. The investment in manufacturing expertise in-house places IMUN in a strategic position to seek partnerships with firms with marketing capabilities by indication and territory that normally would not consider licensing of a cell-based product due to lack of manufacturing expertise. Further, the timely completion and validation of this GMP facility puts us in a position to launch a pivotal trial as planned in early 2013."

This is yet another book in Pen and Sword's 'Voices from the Front Series', and this one again is authored by the Imperial War Museum's Oral History expert Peter Hart. The 2nd Norfolks began the war as a regular Battalion, and went to Northern France in 1939. During a tour on the Maginot Line the Norfolks won some of the British Army's first gallantry medals of the war. Back with the BEF in May 1940, the Norfolks found themselves in the thick of the fighting back towards Dunkirk.
As interesting as Dunkirk was, it's the chapters about the British Army in Britain in late 1940 and 1941 that really interested me. How a shattered Army rebuilt itself, and how regular Battalions found themselves diluted with territorials and conscripts, and how county regiments found themselves taking in recruits from all over the country and the Army abandoned its local recruiting policy. The Army – and its officers and men – had a lot of learning to do in a very short space of time, and the memories of ordinary soldiers during this period that I find fascinating. Much of this period was spent firstly guarding the coast against invasion, and secondly exercising and familiarising with new equipment.
After the threat of invasion subsided with Hitler's invasion of Russia, Britain found herself facing a second theatre of war in the Far East. Accordingly the 2nd Norfolks were sent to the Far East. They landed first in India, and there are some fascinating stories about the passage East and the period spent acclimatising in the sub-continent. The Norfolks spent some time quelling civil distubance in India too, with the rise of Gandhi's national congress beginning to pose problems for the Raj.
After acclimatising to the Far East – a difficult process for western constitutions – the Norfolks went up to Kohima, in time for the pivotal battles around the Indian-Burmese Border there and at Imphal. What follows is a most insightful account of a Battalion fighting in extremely trying circumstances, at a critical point of the war. One account tells of how a Norfolk soldier hid with his section in the jungle and observed hundreds of Japanese pass by, only yards away – such was the intensity of the war in Burma.
I am a great fan of these Oral Histories, and particularly those that focus on the experiences of ordinary soldiers and junior officers – so often the people at the point of the sword, but for so long the people we have heard the least from. Thank god for projects like this that finally give them a voice. And the experiences of this 'ordinary' Battalion, from the BEF to Burma, encapsulates the British Army's journey from 1939 to 1945 perfectly.

US Debit Card
The U.S. Debit Card is a magnetic-stripe bankcard that federal agencies can use to make payments to individuals, and is a flexible method to pay for miscellaneous or nonrecurring outlays, or to allow government employees access to cash for their official duties.
The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, uses the flexibility of this card to lower the cost of having cash funds outside of the general account.
Fiscal Service developed the debit card to reduce the workload for accountants, staff, auditors, ERP (enterprise resource planning) integration, and other areas.
How does the U.S. Debit Card work?
Federal agencies can load the card with any amount of value, and then issue the card to a federal payee.
Once issued, the card may be used at automated teller machines (ATM) to make cash withdrawals, or at point-of-sale (POS) terminals to make retail purchases.
- The card may be disposable, where a fixed amount of value is loaded onto the card, and, once this value is spent, the card can be discarded.
- The card can also be reloadable if the agency makes multiple payments to the payee.
The U.S. Debit Card may be issued immediately to a payee in a federal agency's field office, or from a central office and mailed to the payee or distributed some other way. All value loaded onto the cards is PIN protected and backed by a commercial bank.
For detailed information about using debit cards for your transactions, see U.S. Debit Card

Kanye can say it; UNH students can't sing alongEDITORIAL
September 21. 2017 6:53PM
"I ain't saying she a gold digger,
But she ain't messin' with no broke n*****."
It's been 12 years since Kanye West hit #1 with "Gold Digger."
The young women currently attending the University of New Hampshire were in grade school at the time, but apparently, they appreciate the classics.
Someone posted video of members of Alpha Phi sorority, singing and dancing along to the song, to the "All Eyes on UNH" Facebook page this week, complaining that the video of many white women using the n-word "is a showcase of ignorance."
This Orwellian group aims to "expose injustice at UNH." It has exposed its own intolerance for students having some fun.
Dean John T. Kirkpatrick wrote an email saying, "The use of that word runs counter to our values." He also reported the sorority to its national chapter.
All for singing along to a Kanye West song, not quoting from the Klan handbook. Of course, both would be constitutionally protected speech, safe from the censure of a state university. UNH said yesterday that it was not investigating Alpha Phi, as it had previously stated.
UNH has no business policing which songs students can sing at a sorority. Administrators need not leap into action whenever someone gets offended on social media.
If the sisters of Alpha Phi want to sing, we say, as West put it, "get down, girl, go 'head, get down."

The Hyperhidrosis Program at Cedars-Sinai's Division of Thoracic Surgery provides a permanent cure for excessive sweating in the hands, feet and armpits. The procedure offers a 98 percent change of a cure for hyperhidrosis. Our surgeons, who have performed over 1,000 procedures, are among the world's most experienced with this special procedure.
Hyperhidrosis, an overproduction of perspiration in the hands, feet and sometimes the armpits, affects one in 200 Americans. It prevents these otherwise healthy people from doing the things they would like for fear of embarrassment or simply an inability to grasp items firmly.
People with hyperhidrosis often:
- Are embarrassed to give a simple handshake
- Are afraid to touch another person or hold hands
- Smudge papers when handling them
- Have anxiety or difficulty concentrating
- Wash or wipe their hands constantly
- Are unable to hold and swing a golf club or baseball bat
- Are uncomfortable or unable to play a musical instrument
- Have wet hair and burning eyes due to sweat
- Have difficulty applying and wearing makeup
- Have difficulty with a necktie
- Hide their hands under the dinner table
- Are embarrassed to handle documents or other items in public
Cedars-Sinai physicians have pioneered research and published articles on modern endoscopic techniques. The Hyperhidrosis Program, in conjunction with the surgical team in Thoracic Surgery, use smaller instruments (a three-millimeter compared to a 10-millimeter endoscope), allowing for smaller incisions, which typically results in less pain and a shorter recuperation period.
At Cedars-Sinai's Hyperhidrosis Program, patients receive an effective and permanent cure, called video-assisted thoracic endoscopic sympathectomy. We invite you to read on or to call 1-800-CEDARS-1 (233-2771) for more information or an appointment.

This books text structure is set up like a comic book, because it has characters and speech bubbles. I love this book as I learned a lot about fossils and I am interested in them. My favorite part was when they made fossils.
I think this would be a great book for any kid to learn about fossils and to use for a report on fossils because of all of the information it gives. Teachers could also use this book to teach a science lesson on fossils. There are some nice illustrations with details.

It's simple: post about moments when you have been a dick. Primarily in WoW, but if you are really happy to tell, what the hell, IRL too.
I'll start.
On one of my (many many) alts, a druid, I was with a friend in Uldaman. I was the tank and he was the healer. Anyway, it was a pretty neat group and we were breezing through pretty much everything. We reached Grimlok and downed him. No trouble. He drops Grimlok's Charge: http://www.wowhead.com/item=9416 . Of course, I need on it. A warrior DPS does too. He wins. I say, mildly annoyed, "WTF". He answers back "WTF you noob, druids cant wear polearms!" I was wearing another polearm, and said "lol, look at what I am wearing." he then answered "w/e, bastard-dick".
My friend initiated a vote-kick. Reason "Calling my friend a bastard-dick."
He got kicked!
Another guy then called us noobs and left too. We turned to the last stranger and asked: "You got something to add?" He hadn't and stayed until the end.
Evil has never been so delightful!

Phone hacking update: Ex-employees 'clarify' Murdoch evidence
Chairman of News International, James Murdoch, was yesterday (21 July) seemingly forced to defend evidence he gave to the culture, media and sport select committee on Tuesday, after it was called into question by two former employees – ex-News of the World editor Colin Myler and lawyer Tom Crone.
According to reports, last night Crone and Myler released a statement seeking to "clarify" a significant piece of Murdoch's evidence.
In the committee session, MP Tom Watson had asked James Murdoch if, when he signed off a settlement payment to Gordon Taylor, he had seen or was made aware of an email "suggesting hacking was more widespread than had been admitted". And James Murdoch replied no, "I was not aware of that at the time".
But in their statement, Myler and Crone claim his recollection of what he was told "was mistaken".
In fact, we did inform him of the 'for Neville' email which had been produced to us by Gordon Taylor's lawyers.
Following Myler and Crone's statement, Murdoch issues a single line statement: "I stand behind my testimony to the select committee."
According to a BBC report, Watson has said he will now ask police to investigate this evidence, while committee chair John Whittingdale, was quoted as saying that it will be asking Murdoch to respond and clarify this.

Hi all. The other Friday (Good Friday) I left for work. My fiance was back getting ready for work about 15 minutes later, and the dog was barking. He came out to see what the dog was barking at, and the dog was barking at a chair in the dining room. Fiance looks above chair, and from the chandelier I have a hand made blown glass ball hanging from about 9 inches of twine. The ball is spinning wildly counter-clockwise. Sweetie feels his hands all around to see if there is a draft or something (even though a draft would never spin the ball like that). After a minute or so, he grabbed his phone and videotaped it. It was spinning so hard and so fast, that the twine wrapped tight, and it eventually spun in the other direction. Minutes later, he left for work, and the ball was still going. The ball was spinning really centered, and was barely moving the rest of the chandelier. It is very hard to re-create how the ball was sppinning, because it usually spins off center pretty much.
I spoke to him twice during the day, and even that evening we were talking to friends about weird things that happened in the house, and up in Salem when we visited. Not one mention of this spinning ball. So we get home from our visit, and are getting ready for bed, and he says "Oh man ! I forgot to show you this !" And showed me the video on his phone. He is questioning how and why he would be able to forget about something so weird. I am questioning the meaning.
I bought the ball at a fundraiser last year for my daughter's friend who died from cancer a few months later. The anniversary of his crossing is April 19th. I feel that if it were him, he would have done something so that I would see it, not my fiance, whom he never really knew. Any feedback on who or what this is would be greatly appreciated.
Good Friday visitor

I'm home tonight, supervising a New Year's Eve party with a group of 14-year-old girls. Since they do not require my constant presence–to put it mildly–there is plenty of time to surf the web. I came across this video at the Sun. It isn't embeddable, so you have to follow the link to watch it; this is a screen shot:
The video is of a guy named Jeb Corliss, who flies while wearing a bat suit. I haven't quite figured out how he does it, but he is for real. The miracle is that he is still alive. The Sun video includes an interview with Corliss. This video, from YouTube, isn't quite is good but is still pretty remarkable. It includes a little of the Switzerland footage near the end:
Corliss is one of those outliers who may or may not be crazy, but who push the envelope of human experience in a way that generally winds up benefiting us all.

I have used this technique for the Stunted Shardhorn, Fel Flame, and Water Strider. Sometimes they spawn in areas you can't battle. To move them out of the area (ie: inside a tree, in water, in fire, etc) you need a Priest to Mind Control a non battle-pet critter. Use that critter to attack wild battle pet with one hit and it will run away. Then release your critter and start combat with the battle pet.
Has anyone found a way to do this with another class?

SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Police say suspected rebels have killed three men in Indian Kashmir ahead of voting in general elections this week.
A police officer, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, says militants stormed the home of a village headman in Batgund village late Monday, killing him and his son.
The militants also shot and killed another village official in nearby Amlar village.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
More than a dozen rebel groups have been fighting for Kashmir's independence from India or merger with Pakistan since 1989. Armed rebels and separatist politicians have urged Kashmiris to boycott the vote.
It was not immediately clear if the killings were meant to dissuade people from voting.
Voting is scheduled to be held in the two villages on Thursday.

The August rains were indeed a blessing for so many! However, for our building project, the rains did put us a little behind schedule, but we are in full swing to get back on track with the warm, dry weather now upon us. North of the hospital you can now see the full outline of the new patient wing addition, and groundwork also continues in front on the new entrance, three-story addition, and the boiler room. We are excited about the progress and continue to be thankful for our community's support.
We are also excited about the addition of three new physicians to our medical staff and community. I am hoping you had a chance to meet them and their families at our reception this week. I was pleased to see the interview by Carol Bronson with our new internist, Dr. Racheal Hauser, who was raised in Medicine Lodge. When asked about why she chose Pratt, Dr. Hauser commented on the good number of medical providers we have here full time, and that "It's a strong, strong medical community." I feel the same way! For a community the size of Pratt, we are so fortunate to have the complement of primary care providers and specialists that we do.
Granted, we don't have some specialists that you may think we need. I can assure you that the PRMC board and staff keep foremost in our minds what our community wants to see regarding the provision of healthcare in Pratt, and what we can reasonably accomplish. Our board, physicians, and leadership recently spent many hours reviewing and updating our strategic plan, and I look forward to sharing information about that process in my next column, after the board has approved it at their September meeting.
My door is always open, and I encourage you to contact me at any time with your thoughts.
Susan Page is president and CEO of Pratt Regional Medical Center.

NIJ stopped funding awards under this program in fiscal year 2011.
View a
detailed list of awards made under this program from fiscal years 2008-2010.
On this page find:
Enhanced DNA laboratory capacity is critical to the ability of crime laboratories to meet the increased demand for DNA testing. Law enforcement officers are realizing the importance of collecting, preserving and submitting forensic evidence from both violent and nonviolent crime scenes. This is resulting in sharp increases in submissions of DNA evidence to the nation's public crime laboratories.
Under this program, NIJ funded novel and innovative ways to improve the efficiency and capacity of public forensic DNA laboratories by developing and adopting an improved laboratory process. Laboratories could use funds to purchase Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), additional equipment or robotics, or an expert system. Or they could hire additional personnel or contractors to implement their process. NIJ's objective is to publish successful and carefully evaluated novel efficiency improvement methodologies. These are intended to serve as models to be considered by other forensic science laboratories.
In 2010, NIJ modified the program to fund implementation of novel technologies resulting from ongoing research and development projects to improve capacity or efficiency of forensic DNA laboratories. FY 2010's program was designed to fund incorporation of novel technologies, through validation studies, into state and local government forensic laboratories performing DNA analysis.
Some DNA Unit Efficiency projects produced gains in efficiency, capacity and overall process that could be useful to other laboratories experiencing similar problems. Below are some projects from this program that yielded noteworthy results.
Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (2009)The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) was seeing an increase in casework submissions and could not decrease its turnaround time. This produced a growing backlog. In January 2009, the Palm Beach County Law Enforcement Planning Council, composed of all county chiefs of police, assembled a DNA/Law Enforcement Working Group. Its task was to investigate options for decreasing the DNA backlog and turnaround times. Among the Working Group's findings:
The NIJ Efficiency Improvement Program grant monies allowed the Biological Processing Laboratory (BPL) to open at the Boca Raton Police Department in April 2012. Evidence from the three largest county southernmost law enforcement agencies is now screened at the BPL before DNA evidence is submitted to the PBSO.
The final report for this project is forthcoming.
University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, Department of Forensic and Investigative Genetics (2009)The University of North Texas Health Science Center undertook a project to develop an expert system for automated forensic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) data analysis.
The objectives of the project were:
The expert system software programs were developed and updated to fully automate the analysis of high-quality raw and annotated mtDNA sequence data. When the expert system is unable to complete the automated analysis of challenged data, the software directs the analyst to the specific area for review and serves as a decision-support tool. This aids the analyst in resolving the data and delivering a result or directs the analyst to reanalyze. The three software programs linked contiguously evaluated mtDNA sequence data faster and with less error and generated a haplotype report.
Read the final report, Development of an Expert System for Automated Forensic Mitochondrial DNA Data Analysis (PDF, 130 pages).
Louisiana State Police Crime Laboratory (2008)In the mid-2000s, the Louisiana State Police Crime Laboratory (LSPCL) found that the increased rate of DNA testing requests was outpacing its ability to turn cases around, making it impossible to eliminate the backlog. Using NIJ's Forensic DNA Efficiency Improvement Award, LSPCL devised a multifaceted approach to enhance efficiency. The new process included Lean Six Sigma projects, equipment upgrades, validation of robotics and moving to a paperless environment. As a result, productivity increased 280 percent and the backlog decreased by 85 percent. DNA requests completed each month increased by 68 percent since 2008. Furthermore, LSPCL changed its culture, primarily through the Lean Six Sigma projects. These changes created a stable platform from which to make the equipment, personnel and available resources more efficient.
Read the final report, Increasing Efficiency of Forensic DNA Casework Using Lean Six Sigma Tools (PDF, 125 pages).
University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, Department of Forensic and Investigative Genetics (2008)The Center's Field Testing Division identified steps in the analysis of mtDNA for reference samples that could:
The resulting new laboratory process offered more efficient amplification, sequencing and analysis of mtDNA. It greatly enhanced throughput capabilities, decreased unit costs, and decreased the amount of time needed for laboratory processing and data review by analysts. Enhanced LIMS capabilities included autofill worksheets and reagent calculations. These increased throughput and decreased human error. Each step or procedure added, modified or further optimized for high-throughput processing has been validated.
Read the final report, Development of an Integrated Workflow from Laboratory Processing to Report Generation for mtDNA Haplotype Analysis (PDF, 145 pages).

Microsofts anti-piracy program cracked
Indian breaks the unbreakable
By Nick Farrell: Thursday 23 June 2005, 07:16
A BANGALORE programmer has managed to break Microsofts anti-counterfeiting system called Windows Genuine Advantage.
Vole has always touted the WGA as unhackable, in the same way that the White Star Line considered its famous tub, the Titanic, to be unsinkable.
According to rediff.com, Debasis Mohanty managed to cracked WGA through an "easy-to-exploit" weakness in the software. So no surprises there then.
Mohanty posted a proof-of-concept programme on Vole's security mailing list.
It shows how the WGA validation check can be tricked to generate key codes on illegal copies of the software. The trick is to use a secondary Microsoft validation tool called 'genuinecheck.Exe'.
Vole has confirmed that Mohanty has managed to crack the WGA, but claimed the hack represented very little threat. So that is all right then.

Yahoo recently announced it is releasing a new browser plug-in for use on any platform — a 'search browser' as they coin it, to be called Axis. And like anything scheduled for release nowadays, is supposed to totally revolutionize the way we use the Internet.
So I decided to check Axis out. At it's core, it's a dynamic search bar that sits at the bottom of your normal browser window. When called up, it will help you complete search terms and show you previews of websites that change as you refine your search with additional terms.
It's designed to work with the most current versions of the four major browsers — Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple Safari. Note that for Internet Explorer you need Version 9, which as you may know by now requires Windows 7. So for those Windows XP users still out there, you will have to use Firefox or Chrome with Axis, or upgrade your entire operating system.
Once installed, Axis just sits there out of the way on the bottom of the screen until you click on it and start typing. Once you do, it shows trending searches (weird that "Yahoo Axis" would be at the top of that list, huh?) that change as you type. Also, previews of websites start showing up so you can see where you might want to go. It's a lot more efficient than a Google search, which we suppose is probably the point.
Yahoo also is making an app for iOS that will do essentially the same thing, but as a stand-alone that is not plugged into a Web browser.
At first glance this is nothing we haven't seen before, so I don't know how revolutionary it's going to be. But it is pretty well put-together, and it's by far the most unobtrusive of its ilk when not in use. Personally, that latter fact scores a lot of points with me.
You can try it for yourself while it's in beta. Let me know if you agree with me or not! Will this be something you'll be adding to your browser?

Yahoo!'s new Axis browser is one of the most innovative evolutions in the browser market. It isn't a contender for the desktop market but shines in iOS, where the Axis app is WAY faster/better than Safari for iPhones and iPads. It's bookmarking functionality doesn't compare to iCrumz.com but a valiant effort!

EL DORADO A University of Arkansas study shows the test scores of El Dorado junior high students are outpacing scores of similar south Arkansas students since the start of a scholarship program for El Dorado Public School graduates.
The report by UA's Office of Education Policy released Sunday tracked scores of students taking the Arkansas Benchmark tests starting in 3rd grade five years ago when the scholarship program began. It shows that 8th-graders in the district now average 743 in math and 790 in literacy compared to averages of 725 in math and 765 in literacy among similar students in other south Arkansas districts.
The scholarship program — called El Dorado Promise — began with $50 million promised by Murphy Oil Corp. Officials with the program say 1,239 students have received scholarships.

Great to see that Zend Framework implements a PuSH publisher and client, with Hub "coming soon" #indieweb
Researching #wordpress plugin API as prior art for my activitystreams events framework. Yuk. Yuk yuk yuk.
Let's try them out: emphasised, strong,
"Some quote" Barnaby Walters
I added some HTML→Twitter microsyntax routines to my #POSSE helpers library: https://github.com/barnabywalters/php-helpers #indieweb
Updates to #php-mf2: vastly improved handling of combined microformats. http://waterpigs.co.uk/php-mf2
I updated the #php-mf2 web demo again, now you can try out the classic microformats compatibility. http://waterpigs.co.uk/php-mf2/
Updated php-mf2 with improved handling of children keys, updated the demo to output JSON and time taken;
#symfony2 Security component is a beast. Once I've got it sorted, there's a BIG tutorial on it's way. The symfony components have taught me a huge amount, so improving their documentation the least I can do.
Tom Morris just tried it, and I can hack offline, with inline docs and code completion for both language functions, imported packages and my own classes. PHP+Netbeans.
Just put in a few solid hours working on https://github.com/indieweb/php-mf2/ — it's now at v0.1.6 and has preliminary support for the microformats-2 canonical JSON representation. As always it is installable via composer via
"mf2/mf2": "0.1.*"
Wow, PHP 5.4 delivers on it's promise of improved performance. I'm seeing <1/2 the memory usage of 5.3.8
I made a minimal proof of concept gist to demonstrate @symfony's Event Dispatcher: https://gist.github.com/fa693c8b79a356c1325d
I decided to use Monolog for logging in #php, and I haven't been disappointed. The ability to log PHP to Chrome is nice too.
Anyone know a good way of integration testing how a web app communicates with twitter? I want to make my testing better so I can test syndication, but I'm not entirely sure how to go about it.
As always, the classes are available on Packagist: https://packagist.org/packages/activitystreams/activitystreams #php
I'm making a set of PHP5 classes to represent activitystrea.ms data in applications: https://github.com/barnabywalters/php-activitystreams #indieweb

Matt and I have added yet another new feature to SA. This new feature will automerge your posts together if you were the last person to post in a thread in x amount of time (Right now the time is 24 hours). We are still playing around with the time right now to see what works best for SA.
Don't worry though, if a thread has died off and you come back to get it going again, and you were the last to post as well, the posts would be merged and the thread will be bumped!
The primary purpose is to cut down on load times, and although it's probably not noticeable, every little bit adds up and helps in the long run!
Feel free to try out here in this thread if you like. Make a post, come right back make another post. You will see both posts but one will have a title that says Automerge or something, refresh and your two posts are now one.
Any questions or concerns let us know!

HOUSTON (AP) - Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords will undergo surgery on Wednesday to replace a piece of her skull removed by doctors after she was shot in January.
The surgery was confirmed to The Associated Press by a person familiar with Giffords' care. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the information has not officially been released.
Doctors had to remove the portion of Giffords' skull due to brain swelling caused by the gunshot.
Since then, she has worn a helmet while undergoing intensive rehabilitation in Houston to re-learn how to walk and talk. The surgery comes just days after Giffords returned from Florida where she watched her astronaut husband rocket into space.

BULAWAYO'S two million residents are being asked to flush their toilets all at the same time once every three days as the city grapples with a worsening water crisis.
There is not enough water in the reticulation system and waste is not moving for days. The build-up is causing sewer pipes to burst all over the city, say council officials.
Now engineers are recommending that every household must flush their toilets at 7.30PM every three days when water services are restored across the city during the on-going water shedding.
Simela Dube, Bulawayo's director of engineering services, said: "We need to flush our toilets at the same time to push all the waste that will just be under the surface as residents would be using little water to flush toilets during water shedding hours."
In a statement, council spokeswoman Nesisa Mpofu added: "Every household is requested to flush their toilets systematically at 7.30PM the very day when water is back after the 72 hours of water shedding.
"This is done to prevent any sewer blockages as we anticipate longer periods without water in the reticulation system. Please note that this is in addition to the normal flushing that will occur during the day.
"This is due to the recent water shedding programme by council which has seen a reduced amount of water entering the sewer system."
Two of Bulawayo's five water supply dams have already been decommissioned and the water levels have reached critical levels at the remaining dams – the result of the worst drought in south-western Zimbabwe in almost four years.
A long-mooted plan to build a pipeline to draw water from the Zambezi River has reached implementation stage after the Chinese government committed US$2,2 billion for the project – but it will not be complete for at least another two years.
As a long-term solution is being pursued, Bulawayo residents are going for up to two weeks without water. The worst hit areas are Entumbane, Harrisvale, Old Pumula, New Magwegwe and New Lobengula.
Council spokesman Mpofu explained: "Water, unlike electricity, takes long to move from the nearest reservoir to the point of consumption particularly if the latter is far. Also water flows to low lying areas first.
"The residential areas that are not receiving water are all high altitude areas and will always be the last to receive water."
I wonder. What will happen to the streets when the "great flush" works?
