Children and parents make caterpillar crafts on Thursday night in the children's section of the Turlock Library. The library, which was built in 1968, was intended to serve a population of 30,000. ...

On Tuesday evening, kids crammed into the children’s section of the Turlock Library to hear a story. It was past 7 p.m., the Library’s normal closing time, but the tables in the main room of the library were still occupied by people reading books and newspapers, and every computer was in use. Even at this late hour the Library was alive with activity. “If you go to the Turlock Library after school gets out there is no room for people to sit. There are people laying on the floor,” said County Librarian Vanessa Czopek. The Turlock Library has outgrown its 10,000 square foot facility on Minaret Avenue. Librarians and county officials agree that the Library experiences more use than it was intended to handle. “The Turlock Library is undersized for its population,” said Vito Chiesa, Stanislaus County District 2 supervisor. Chiesa, along with about 15 other Turlock and Stanislaus County officials, has formed a committee to research the possibility of building a bigger library in Turlock. There are currently no funds set aside for a new library. Chiesa said that he wanted to have a shovel-ready project planned out in the event that stimulus funds became available.“I just want to be ready. I just want to make sure Turlock is in line for those funds,” Chiesa said. When the Turlock Library was dedicated in November of 1968, it was intended to serve a population of up to 36,000 people. That included residents of Turlock, outlying rural populations, and several small communities in northern Merced County. According to the Stanislaus County Library’s latest profile on the Turlock Library, the library is now serving a population of over 70,000 people. The facility on Minaret Avenue housed a collection of 50,000 volumes when it first opened. It now holds a collection of almost 88,000 items. County Librarian Vanessa Czopek said that the current Turlock Library is lacking a community meeting room or an area big enough for children’s programs. “We are using every square foot of the current library to the maximum,” said councilman Kurt Spycher. The library location committee, which does not have an official name, has held two meetings. Spycher said that it is very early on in the planning stage, and the committee is still brainstorming ideas for possible locations for a new library. The group is considering several existing locations, including the police station on Starr Avenue. The building will be vacated when the new Public Safety Facility is built. The current police station is within walking distance of several schools, a key feature in the location of a new library. Spycher said that the ideal size for a new library would be about 30,000 square feet. The committee is also considering the possibility of building a new library, or expanding the library at its current location, according to Chiesa. For the time being, however, there are no funds available for expansion. “Keeping libraries at the current day schedule is a challenge. Expanding on that right now would be almost impossible,” Chiesa said.Czopek said that the Stanislaus County Library system is funded by a one eighth of a cent sales tax. That money is not coming in the way it used to because of the recession, said Czopek. The Stanislaus County Library has experienced a system wide reduction in open hours and number of staff members. If the funding were available, however, Czopek said that the Stanislaus County Library would like to expand its Turlock branch. “I think the community deserves a larger library,” Czopek said.

Knotting of a guidewire during internal jugular vein catheterization in an infant: A case report.
Central venous catheterization has been frequently used in pediatric patients in wide variety of conditions. Several authors have described about various complication of central venous catheterization in pediatric patients and reported complication rates of 3% to 6%. Knotting of guidewire as a complication of central venous catheterization has been reported in adult patients, but knotting of guidewire has not been reported in infants. Therefore we report an infant who experienced a knotting of guidewire during internal jugular vein catheterization which was successfully removed without any adverse events. We suggest that knot formation is possible in infants and there should be a high suspicion if resistance is felt at the time of catheter advancement.


An internal combustion engine, such as a diesel or a gasoline engine, includes an engine block defining a plurality of cylinder bores. During operation, pistons reciprocate within the cylinder bores during combustion events to generate mechanical power. Each cylinder bore may include a cylinder liner in which the piston reciprocates, and the cylinder liner may be fitted into the cylinder bore. Cylinder liners allow an engine block with a particular cylinder bore configuration and size to be used with different diameter pistons by simply changing the cylinder liners for a particularly configured engine. Additionally, the cylinder liners may be removed and replaced if worn or damaged.
The inner surface of the cylinder liner, also known as a running surface, serves as a sliding surface for piston rings of the piston. An outer surface of the cylinder liner forms a coolant circulation space for cooling the cylinder liner. During the combustion events, the cylinder liner is subject to high loads and stresses, including thermal stresses. Because the piston rings slide on the running surface of the cylinder liner, and the cylinder liner bounds at least a portion of the combustion chamber, heat is transferred from an interior side of the cylinder liner to an exterior side of the cylinder liner.
WIPO Publication WO 2013/190175 A1, entitled “Piston Engine and Cylinder Liner” describes an exemplary cylinder liner arranged partially inside an engine block and within a cooling jacket.
Although effective for certain engine configurations, the cylinder liners, and particularly those installed completely within an engine block, may not be able to cope with the demands of higher powered engines. As in-cylinder temperatures produced by the higher powered engines are greater than those of previous engines, the seal material of conventional cylinder liners are no longer able to handle the resulting higher temperature demands without degrading to a point of failure due to thermal distress. Accordingly, there is a need for an improved cylinder liner.

Q:

Making a web service, which approach?

I have made a Java EE 6 application where a user can browse a set of questions, add new questions and so on. The user can optionally log in so that he/she gets "credit" for adding the question or reporting it as bad.
Now I want to make a iPhone application where the user can do pretty much the same. So the answer is web service I assume. I have not worked with web service before but I see there are at least to alternatives: SOAP and REST.
Which one should I choose? I want the user to be able to log in from the application as well a as browse the questions in the database...pretty much many of the actions you can do on the web site.
I don't know much about the security and overhead they introduce.
Also I want the user to be able to retrieve the list of questions thorugh the web server and have the option to save it, so he/she won't need to have internet unless he/she wants to update it. Can I achieve this with both web services?

A:

You can take a look at this previous SO post for some guidance. I would recommend using REST, it seems to be less messy than SOAP and Java has support available for it as shown here.
Through the use of annotations, you can simply created a facade to which users will connect. In turn, this facade will call the relevant logic which I am presuming you already have.


It’s way too early to start throwing around the “b” (for “bust”) word for Josh LeRibeus. After all, he’s only been in the NFL for one season, during which he earned moderate praise when he stepped in for an injured Corey Lichtensteiger. On the other hand, a team that trades away three No. 1 picks and a No. 2 for one player, as the Redskins did for RG3, had better be getting a Day 1 starter when it drafts someone in the third round at a position of need.

LeRibeus, the 71st player taken in the 2012 draft, wasn’t that in 2012 of the Redskins. Not even close.

In his rookie season, the 6-3, 315-pound guard from Southern Methodist (where he was a teammate of fellow Redskins Richard Crawford and Aldrick Robinson) saw action in just five games, but didn’t see the field at all until Week 9.

Part of that could be Mike Shanahan’s man-crush on Lichtensteiger, who he drafted while still with the Denver Broncos and brought to Washington before the 2011 season. When your primary job is backing up the player your coach considers the best lineman on the team, you’re probably not going to see a ton of playing time under normal circumstances. LeRibeus did replace an injured Lichtensteiger during the playoff game against Seattle and more or less held his own.

LeRibeus was originally valued for his versatility in being able to play guard and center. But so can Lichtensteiger, and the Redskins’ signing this week of Kevin Matthews might be an indication the coaching staff doesn’t have total confidence in either should starting center Will Montgomery go down.

2012 stats

Excuse me, this is a lineman. He has no stats other than: Games played — 5; Games started — 0; and, Fumble recoveries: — 0. Move on, nothing to see here.

What are the odds he’s a factor in 2013?

It doesn’t bode well (for Leribeus) that Lichtensteiger signed a new four-year contract in the off-season. Still, there are no guarantees in the NFL.

According to a Bleacher Report writer's opinion, “Lichtensteiger’s contract is worth a modest $17.5 million and does not guarantee he will be the unquestioned starter heading into the season. A strong camp from LeRibeus could push Shanahan to make a decision at the wire and give the nod to the younger, healthier man.”

Health, versatility and familiarity with Shanahan’s system are huge assets for a Redskin offensive lineman, and LeRibeus has all three. For the time being, he at least provides quality depth along the offensive line — something the Redskins don’t have in abundance.

That alone virtually assure him a spot on the roster. And if age or injury gives him a chance to move into the starting lineup, it’s quite possible he settles in there for the next 10 years.

Colchester Castle

Colchester Castle was built just after the Norman Conquest. It has a huge, largely intact early Norman keep with a similar design to the Tower of London’s White Tower.

Roman Origins

Colchester, or Camulodunum as it was then, was the capital of Roman Britain. It was a city for veterans of the Roman army with a city centre dominated by a temple dedicated to Emperor Claudius.

The town was still important in the early medieval period. William the Conqueror raised Colchester Castle shortly after the Norman Conquest around 1071.

The castle was constructed over the remains of the Roman temple. The keep covers a huge area measuring 46m by 34m (152 by 112 feet). It is the largest keep by ground area in England.

The keep bears a striking similarity to the Tower of London’s White Tower. Colchester has the same basic rectangular design with an apsidal projection on its south east wall and it is thought that Bishop Gundulf of Rochester was responsible for the design of both.

This part of England was subject to a number of Danish raids at around this time and it seems that construction of the keep was halted at least once by a raid or threat of a raid. Part way up the wall, just below first floor level there is clear evidence of an embattled parapet which was probably a temporary measure in the face of a threatened Danish invasion in 1083.

The keep uses the foundations from the ancient Roman temple as a base and its structure incorporates Roman bricks and clays from the town as well as local stone. The final height of the keep is unknown, though it is believed to have been two or three stories high with its principal residential apartments in the upper floors.

There isn’t anything left of the castle’s curtain wall. Though there is evidence of a forebuilding and barbican with flanking turrets at the front. The outer bailey’s walls probably extended out to join on to the town walls at some point.

King John Attacks

Colchester Castle has only been besieged once in its history. In 1215 a number of barons rebelled against the unpopular King John I of England. They invited Prince Louis of France (later King Louis VIII) to take the English throne. In 1216 Colchester was held by Louis’ supporters and King John was forced to besiege and capture it.

The castle remained in royal hands, but by the 13th Century it had become a county gaol. It continued in the role, but did gradually become more ruinous until in 1683 John Wheely, a local ironmonger, was licensed to pull it down to use the stone for building material. Fortunately the task proved too much for him and he stopped after the first couple of stories.

In the early 18th Century it changed hands into private ownership in the Gray family. In the 1740s Charles Gray extensively renovated and restored the building, adding a library and study and landscaping a private park around it.

Addition to Colchester Museum

In 1922 the castle and its parkland were gifted to the town. In the 1930s the current roof was installed and it was converted to a public museum.

The castle is still home to the Colchester Castle Museum. It was extensively refurbished in 2013-14. It showcases international quality archaeological exhibits from 2,500 years of Essex and Cochester’s history.

The museum runs a range of events throughout the year and can be hired as a wedding or corporate event venue. The museum has won awards and is recognised as one of the most popular visitor attractions in the East of England.

Facilities available at the castle include toilets, nearby parking, a gift shop and vending machines for drinks and snacks. From April to November there is also a cafe open in the park. Unusually for an early medieval castle, disabled access is good with two accessible lifts, accessible toilets and disabled parking close by.

DENVER — The nation’s newest state, if rural Colorado residents had their way, would be about the size of Vermont but with the population of a small town spread across miles of farmland. There wouldn’t be civil unions for gay couples, new renewable energy standards, or limits on ammunition magazines.

After all, those were some of the reasons five counties on the state’s Eastern Plains voted on Election Day to approve the creation of a 51st state in the first place.

A day earlier, a majority in Washington and four other counties on Colorado’s Eastern Plains voted yes on the creation of a 51st state. The Associated Press

Secession supporters know the votes were symbolic, designed to grab the attention of a Democratic-controlled Legislature. They say the vote results emphasize a growing frustration in conservative prairie towns with the more populous and liberal urban Front Range, which has helped solidify the Democrats’ power.

“We can’t outvote the metropolitan areas anymore, and the rural areas don’t have a voice anymore,” said Perk Odell, 80, a lifelong resident of Akron in Washington County, which voted to secede.

The five counties share borders, cover about 9,500 square miles and have a combined population of about 29,200. Four of the counties – Philips, Yuma, Kit Carson and Cheyenne – border Kansas. They are solidly Republican areas that have long identified more with Kansas and Nebraska because of their agricultural background than with Denver.

Towns such as Akron, population 1,700, were founded in the 1880s along railroads and thrived as agriculture producers, booming in the 1900s during grain shortages. They began a decline in 1920s that continued through the Dust Bowl and their populations have decreased or remained stagnant since then.

What remains are tight-knit communities where grain silos are sometimes the tallest structures around.

Other parts of the state, meanwhile, have grown. More than 80 percent of Colorado’s 5 million residents live on the Front Range. The counties that voted to secede currently have only two state representatives and one state senator.

In some ways, the feelings of being ignored date to the days of Colorado’s gold rush, when miners flocked to the Front Range, said Dr. Tom Noel, a history professor at the University of Colorado at Denver.

“Ever since the gold rush, those areas have been places that people rush over, and I think that’s still how people feel – like people are just whizzing past them at 80 miles an hour,” Noel said.

But for the cluster of rural counties to become a new state, Colorado lawmakers would have to sign off, followed by Congress – a scenario that even supporters of the plan say is highly unlikely.

Long shot though it may be, supporters of the 51st state movement say they believe they’ve succeeded in getting their message across that lawmakers at the state’s Capitol aren’t listening to their concerns.

One of the concerns that weren’t heard was about a proposal mandating that Colorado’s rural cooperative electric associations get 20 percent of their energy from renewable sources by 2020, up from 10 percent. The bill was approved by Democrats without Republican support.

Republicans next year plan to propose making state Senate seats be apportioned by land mass instead of population to grant a bigger voice to the sparsely populated areas. Republicans hold 28 of the 65 seats in the House and 17 of 35 seats in the Senate.

Not everyone’s behind the concept of secession. Six other counties that had the measure on the ballot rejected it, including Weld County, where elected officials first raised the question.

Akron resident Charles Johnson, 69, said there were many unanswered questions about how secession would work, like what the state would be called, where the capitol would be and how schools would be funded. He also didn’t like the message a secession vote would send.

“The sad thing is it makes us all just look like whiners out here,” said Johnson, a retired teacher and former superintendent. On a recent trip to Texas to visit family, he said it was a few minutes before relatives started questioning him about the secession movement.

“I’m saddened that people, maybe, see us in a lesser light,” Johnson said.

Kim Weninger, 55, doesn’t see it that way. “I do think that we do have to send a message to the Front Range that you aren’t the only people in the state,” she said.

New restrictions on firearms, including banning magazines that hold more than 15 rounds, were among the slew of legislation that only highlighted an urban versus rural divide, she said.

“I have people tell me all the time that I have no reason to have a gun. Well, you know what? We have rattlesnakes in our yards. We have coyotes that get a hold of our cats. I need a weapon to protect animals, to protect myself. But somebody in Boulder is not going to understand that,” she said.

JUPITER, Fla. -- Nearly a quarter century ago, when I first started writing about golf for the Associated Press, Bob Green, who lugged around the label "AP Golf Writer" for 26 years, gave me these words of advice: "You can never write too much Jack Nicklaus." Which leads me to a lovely Thursday morning at The Bear's Club, three charming young First Tee golfers and Nicklaus, the legend who can't do enough for the game.

As a camera crew and a slew of technicians scurried to set up the shoot for what will be a TV promotional spot for The First Tee sponsored by the Royal Bank of Scotland that will debut during the broadcast of the Masters, Nicklaus chatted with a threesome who could easily be his grandchildren. None of them had ever seen Jack hit a shot when he was really Jack, but they all knew who he was and what he had accomplished. That is part of the magic of golf.

Just as impressively, Nicklaus knew the back story of each of the youngsters and was impressed with what they had accomplished, journeys, he stressed, that were more important and more difficult than winning golf tournaments. "Each of them found like a father or a mother figure in The First Tee," Nicklaus said. "With what they have experienced in their lives, they could have followed the good things of life or the bad things of life and, in part because of golf, they chose the good things."

Donnie Ray Black, 18, is an African American from Pittsburgh. His father was killed when Donnie was 3 and his mother struggles with mental illness. He has graduated from high school and works at Wendy's to help the family pay its bills. He has been in the First Tee for four years and has had Jack Ligday, an executive for Citizens Bank, an RBS subsidiary, as a mentor.

Katie Hickey, 16, lived in five different foster homes between the ages of 4 and 6 as her mother struggled with alcoholism. Eventually, her grandparents won a custody suit and early on dealt with angry outbursts that got Katie in trouble in school. Her grandparents eventually enrolled her in a First Tee program in Fort Smith, Ark., which has proven to be a life-changing event.

Sara Diaz, 17, grew up in Chihuahua, Mexico and moved to the United States at the age of 12, unable to speak English. She is in The First Tee of San Antonio and is ranked No. 1 out of 641 in her high school class. She is also a bundle of energy not shy about poking fun at a living legend.

"I saw photos of you when you had long, blonde hair," Diaz said to Nicklaus. "You were good looking." That prompted a laugh from Jack who shot back, "What do you mean were?"

Nicklaus worked with the trio on reading putts, stroking the ball on the greens and later, bunker play. It was as if a paint-by-numbers student spent a morning being taught by Picasso.

A debt of gratitude anyone who cares about golf owes to Tiger Woods is that he has reminded all of us of how great Nicklaus was, and he has focused attention on Jack's achievements for a generation who never saw Nicklaus at his best. As remarkable as Woods has been, he is still four short of Nicklaus' record of 18 professional major championships.

Tiger put Jack back on golf's radar screen, and that's extremely important in an instant-gratification age in which whatever happened last night is the greatest thing ever to occur. And when we go back and look at the Nicklaus record we become acutely aware of a distinct advantage Woods has in chasing Jack. Tiger knows where the finish line is. He knows he needs to get to 18.

Once Nicklaus sprinted past Bobby Jones (13 total majors) and Walter Hagen (11 professional majors) he had no finish line. Remember, Jack was second in 19 majors. Do you think if someone had said to Nicklaus back then, "Jack, you are going to need to get to 22 majors" that he wouldn't have figured out a way to do it? I'm betting the over on that.

For a quarter century Nicklaus was at the center of a seemingly endless series of golf greatest moments. Perhaps all you need to know about Jack is that his first PGA Tour victory was a major -- the 1962 U.S. Open -- and that his last PGA Tour victory was a major -- the 1986 Masters.

Not only were they the bookends of a brilliant career, they were two of the more remarkable tournaments ever played. In 1962, the 22-year-old Nicklaus knocked off reigning King and local legend Arnold Palmer in an 18-hole playoff at Oakmont for the U.S. Open title.

And then there was the 1986 Masters, when the 46-year-old Nicklaus -- written off by just about everyone except himself -- shot 65 on Sunday and 30 on the back nine to win. The last two hours of his final round are among the most electric stretches of performance in the history of sports.

"The First Tee teaches the lessons of life," Nicklaus said at The Bear's Club. "It takes kids off the streets and puts them on an entirely different life path. Donnie said to me, 'The First Tee totally changed my life.' How do you put a price tag on that? I'm very proud to be a part of The First Tee, and I'm very grateful that RBS is bringing the story of the First Tee to a wider audience."

There are few who have taken the story of golf to as wide of an audience as Nicklaus. He's done it with style and class off the golf course that have been as impressive as his accomplishments on it. He and his wife Barbara have revitalized the Honda Classic, the PGA Tour stop in Palm Beach Gardens this week, with Barbara directing the charitable end and Jack using his leverage to help attract quality fields.

Nicklaus spent Wednesday playing in the pro-am to help hype the Honda, and he spent three hours Thursday filming a promotional spot for The First Tee, giving three special young people the thrill of a lifetime -- a personal lesson from one of the game's greatest. Bob Green was correct. You can't write too much Jack Nicklaus. And Jack can't do enough for the game he loves. It makes you appreciate all the ways in which he is a champion.

If not, you’ll be fine as long as you study the material in the previous lesson.  This chapter only comes into play in our next Foothill College course, CS 83B. Today, we consider
what happens to a quantum system – for us a qubit – when it’s allowed to evolve over time. We’ll add a few more words to our vocabulary.  Terms like "Hamiltonian," "energy eigenkets"
and the famous "Schrodinger equation."  We've met a few of the operators corresponding to the key measurables in our spin-1/2 world.  The computer scientist’s ever present Sz,
as well as the very useful Sx and Sy. Imagine that instead of measuring the x, y or z-component of spin, we decide to read off the total energy – the sum of potential and kinetic energy
-- of our quantum system.  The observable for that quantity is called the Hamiltonian.
Developing the equation for this new measurable requires a little first year physics, so I’ll spoon feed you a few results. When I’m finished, you’ll see something that should look
familiar.  Like all operators in C-2, it’s a 2x2 matrix. This matrix is the measurable corresponding to the system’s total energy – the spin-1/2 Hamiltonian.   And we solve it just like
we solve any operator.  We compute its eigenvalues – the allowable energies that appear when we look at the system – and eigenvectors – also known as eigenkets --  that
correspond to those energies. When you follow along in the chapter, you’ll see that the energy eigenkets are the same two vectors that we got when we solved the S-z observable:
ket-plus and ket-minus.
Well, what about time evolution? Remember how any vector in our state space can be expanded along an observable’s basis?  Well that’s till true.  Take any state vector.  We can
express it as a superposition of the energy eigenkets. But now there’s something new.  Since we're allowing the states to evolve in time, the expansion coefficients must be
functions of time --  functions that, for the time being, are unknown. Now, a short footnote to the physicists:
I’m presenting the Schrodinger, not the Heisenberg, picture of evolution, which is why we can say that the observables remain fixed and the states, or kets, are the thing that
change over time.
In any event, this leaves us with one final challenge.  To find the actual formulas for the two unknown functions. I’d like you to say hello to the Schrodinger equation.  It provides the
framework that enables us to solve for the unknown time-dependent expansion coefficients. When the smoke clears, our original state vector  -- which can be any vector in the
space – will be expressed as a superposition of the energy eigenkets, and the coefficients of those eigenkets will be functions of time. Let’s pause for a second and notice what
happens if the state whose evolution we’re trying to compute happens to be one of the energy eigenkets. The time evolution doesn’t seem to change anything, since vectors that
differ by a mere scalar -- especially a length one scalar -- are considered identical states.
Because of this, energy eigenkets are often called "stationary states."  They don’t change – they’re stationary. Now, energy is nice, but we may want to study one of our other
observables, say Sy.  Do we have to do everything  all over again? No. We just solved a time-dependent expansion along the energy basis, so all we have to do is convert that solution
from the energy basis to the S-y basis. Now it’s time to say “thank you” to our old friend the dot-with-the-basis vector trick. We take our evolving ket, currently expressed in terms
of the energy basis, and dot it with the two S-y basis vectors to get the coefficients along the that  basis.
Now we know what we can expect to see if we measure this other observable, S-y, at any future time t.
That’s a lot to take in so I’ll summarize. ONE: Compute the energy eigenkets for the system.  But for quantum
computing, they’re always the same, ket+ and ket-, so
there’s nothing really to do. TWO:  Expand our vector of which is the same as the Sz or preferred basis. THREE: Solve the Schordinger
equation to get that state’s energy at any future time t.  Again, I did this for you, so nothing to do. FOUR: For any other observable that we plan on measuring, say for example
S-y, we dot the time-dependent solution with each of S-y’s eigenkets. And FIVE: We declare victory.
In the final section of this chapter, I’ll pick some initial state, and we’ll do this for all three observables, Sx, Sy, and Sz,  and after we get the answers, we’re going to go a step further.
We’ll compute their evolving expectation values.  This is just as easy as computing ordinary expectation values, only we’ll have a time variable, t, in all of our answers. What we get
tells us how the expectation value of the three observables evolves in time. It’s a three-dimensional vector – which we can think of as a spin direction  that precesses about the
axis of our magnetic field. It’s called "Larmor precession," and the surprise here is that it will reproduce the original, classical, naïve and incorrect, model of our spin-1/2 electron
in full classical detail, but with a different interpretation than we initially expected two chapters ago. And, there you have it.  A summary and introduction to the final installment in your
lightning education in quantum mechanics.  Whatever path you plan to take – or took -- I hope you find this week’s material enlightening.


Synergistic effects of oxidation and deformation on erythrocyte monovalent cation leak.
The normal red blood cell (RBC) membrane is remarkable for its durability (eg, preservation of permeability barrier function) despite its need to remain deformable for the benefit of microvascular blood flow. Yet, it may be hypothesized that the membrane's tolerance of deformation might be compromised under certain pathologic conditions. We studied this by subjecting normal RBC in viscous suspending medium (20% dextran) to elliptical deformation induced by application of shear stress under physiologic conditions (290 mOsm/L, 37 degrees C, pH 7.40) in the presence of ouabain and furosemide. Measurement of resulting net passive K efflux ("K leak") demonstrated that shear-induced RBC deformation causes K leak in a dose-dependent fashion at shear stresses far below the hemolytic threshold, an effect shown to be due to deformation per se. To model the specific hypothesis that oxidatively perturbed RBC membranes would be abnormally susceptible to this potentially adverse effect of deformation, we treated normal RBC with the lipid peroxidant t-butylhydroperoxide. Under conditions inducing only minimal K leak due to either oxidation alone or deformation alone, deformation of peroxidant-pretreated RBC showed a markedly enhanced K leak (P less than .001). This highly synergistic oxidation-plus-deformation leak pathway is less active at low pH, is neither chloride-dependent nor calcium-dependent, and allows K efflux to be balanced by Na influx so there is no change in total monovalent cation content or cell density. Moreover, it is fully reversible since deformation-induced K leak terminates on cessation of shear stress (even for oxidant-treated RBC). Control experiments showed that our results are not explained simply by hemolysis, RBC vesiculation, or development of prelytic pores. We conclude that oxidation and deformation individually promote passive leak of monovalent cation through RBC membranes and that a markedly synergistic effect is exerted when the two stresses are combined. We hypothesize that these findings may help explain the abnormal monovalent cation leak stimulated by deoxygenation of sickle RBC.


I know that rarity precedes extinction,

Like that of the purple orchid in my garden,

Whose sudden disappearance rattled me.

Jane, in her way, is also beautiful.

And therefore near extinction, I suppose.

She is certainly rare and fragile of bone.

She insists she is dying, day by dubious day,

And spends her evenings looking at photographs

Of her mother, who never believed in love.

Rare Jane, I worship you. But I can’t deny

You access to the endless

With its river of cold stars.


Hurricane Matthew caused Devastating flooding in Fayetteville NC

Photo above is a Family Photo in Waist-High Flood Waters @Walking Trail Way, Grays Creek By Bianca Sanders

Hurricane Matthew has come and gone and done a lot of damage in its path. Locally in Fayetteville NC, the Power has been out for over 70% of the residents. There have been massive amounts of flooding and damage from trees falling on houses and cars. There is a notice to boil all water at least until Thursday, October 13th, due to a break in the main water line. Here at Need T-shirts Now we have been fortunate that we did not have any major damage.

There are lots of smaller communities around that have been getting evacuated due to whole towns submerged in water. In the city of Lumberton, there are 1000s that are currently trapped in.

Hurricane Matthew first struck Haiti and Jamaica with reports of more than 800 victims that lost their life due to this storm in Haiti alone. After going through Cuba and making landfall in central Florida and making its way up the southern east coast states Matthew finally arrived. There were reports that one of the Red Cross shelters also was flooded early on and everyone needed to get evacuated.

There have been reports that more than 50 roads are closed and there is currently a curfew from 7pm to 7 am. I've read that you will also want to boil your water before drinking. We will get back to business as normal as everything clears back up.

Watch This Video Below

Below are some photos of the flooding in NC

Being Prepared

The majority of us were not prepared for this hurricane. We had plenty of time to try to prepare but others probably like my self-didn't take it seriously. For future references, there are some things that you should always have just in case of a storm like this.

Water: You can not have enough water. Not only was the power off but we had an advisory to boil the water before use. I tried to go to the grocery store the next day and no one in the city had water. I ended up paying $21 for a 24 qty case of Fiji water from a local store called BJ's

Generator: Having a generator is a good idea. It may take days or even weeks for your power to get cut back on. A generator may keep your fridge or freezer on saving your food from spoiling and maybe a few other appliances

Batteries: Batteries are also a good idea to keep handy. Batteries can be used for your flashlights and small portable radios.

Food: It is a good idea to keep food that won't spoil as fast such as can goods and other nonperishable items.

Safety Bag: A bag with some of the items above along with clothing just in case you need to evacuate your house quickly due to damage or flooding.

Cash: Keeping cash on hand is also vital. If the power is down, it may take weeks for ATMs or credit card machines to work. Keeping cash may be critical in getting needed supplies.

Floatation devices: I now recommend some type of flotation devices especially for children just in case of severe flooding. A blow-up raft would be nice to have.


Jared the joke

I admit I have never had any use for Prince Jared Kushner. Indeed, while I have spent much of my career saying much about how every Jew has the duty to love every other Jew, I must admit I have nothing but contempt for Jared.

There’s just something about him, something so nauseating. I think mostly it’s that he has so little ability and yet seems to have so little recognition of that. He is the very epitome of the old saying about someone being born on third base who thinks he hit a triple.

Jared has been very successful and yet has actually achieved nothing in his life, has failed at almost everything and yet keeps climbing higher and higher.

For those few poor souls who still use AOL, of which sadly I am one, you know that when you sign on to your email account, up pops a screen that has the latest news from that most trusted source of news, AOL. It goes from one screen to the next, usually about 50 in all, letting you know all they think you need to know.

Let me pause here for a second to mention how truly terrifying it is that most Americans, especially most young Americans, get most of their news from Facebook. The absurdity of that explains almost everything wrong with society today, and there is quite a bit wrong, more and more wrong each and every day.

Indeed, I truly don’t recognize the world that I grew up in, so much has changed and so much not for the better. I know most of us tend to romanticize the good old days, but I do clearly remember my early days and remember clearly that people were more decent, kinder and that when it came to news, you had very trusted sources, filled with journalists who had devoted their entire lives to finding and reporting the truth.

The truth is that when we just had NBC and ABC and CBS, we had news organizations that didn’t care about the bottom line, had reporters all over the world and had seasoned journalists who cared about nothing else but finding the best available version of the truth.

You could trust and rely on Walter Cronkite, my journalistic hero, and David Brinkley and Ted Koppel, one of the most impressive people I’ve ever interviewed. And you could count on the reporters at the New York Times and the Washington Post, reporters backed up by experienced editors. Please note by the way that almost everything we know about the Trump administration’s dangerous misdeeds is the result of stories in the Times and Post. If it weren’t for those papers, Russian stooge Michael Flynn would very likely still be national security advisor and wives beater Rob Porter would still be staff secretary, handling top secret documents.

But while thankfully we still have the Times and the Post, we scarily also have Facebook which has no journalists, doesn’t understand what journalism is about, cares only about the bottom line, and yet somehow in this crazy world in which we live is the go to source for news for most people.

It is no wonder the Russians used it as their main vehicle to spread falsehoods, to mess with our democracy and to do all they could to get Trump elected. When I was a kid, we were taught to hate and fear the Russians, to realize that the Russians were a force for evil and were always up to no good. I remember vividly watching ‘Rocky and Bullwinkle’ cartoons, which featured a couple of Russian spies, Boris Badanov and his sidekick Natasha. It taught even young kids watching cartoons to understand the Russians were not our friends.

And so, while I don’t know what Robert Mueller will eventually find, I do find it disturbing and revealing that the Russians wanted Trump to win. Why? Why would our enemy want him to be our leader? And why when Trump has something critical to say about virtually everyone, has he to this very minute never found one bad thing to say about Vladimir Putin, who is Boris Badanov in the flesh. Why?

Anyway, I digress. One other person that Trump likes is Prince Jared, which kind of makes him this country’s most powerful Jew. Why, I keep wondering, are so many who are the most famous, most powerful, most wealthy among us, such creeps. Eliminate all the Jews involved in the sexual harassment scandals of the last few months and the scandal is but a tiny blip. Literally almost half of the famous men caught with their pants down have been Jews. Something to think and worry about.

But let’s get back to Jared. The AOL story was about how he may very well lose his security clearance at the White House. Seems that even after a year, he has not yet been approved to have a permanent security clearance, which means the FBI has found stuff about him that gives them pause, and that should give us pause.

The AOL report begins by saying that “Jared Kushner was born a simple rich boy” and then goes into great detail about how his whole life has been about achieving things not because he deserved or earned them, but because he or his daddy could afford them.

Jared, who got lousy grades in high school, got into Harvard just months after his father made a $2.5 million donation to the university. Jared got into graduate school at New York University, just weeks after his father made a large gift to the school. Jared took over his father’s real estate empire when his dad was in jail for tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions and other crimes. Oh and to give you a sense of the moral fiber of the Kushner mishpachah, Kushner was found guilty in part thanks to evidence provided by his sister’s husband. Out of revenge, daddy Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, had them videotaped while having sex and then showed the video to his sister. Jared’s business acumen was shown when he bought 666 Park Avenue, paying the most money ever paid anywhere for a building. He actually paid far more than it was worth. But remember that Jared once said that “real estate is porn for rich people.” Jared took a huge financial bath on the property, but just when it seemed he might have to declare bankruptcy as a result, he was rescued when a Chinese company bought a piece of the building, right after Trump was elected and Jared was put in charge of US-China relations.

I could go on, but the bottom line is that everything Jared has achieved is because he or his father bought it for him. Indeed it is fair to say that the only things Jared has truly done right is be born into a rich real estate family and marry into a rich real estate family.

He makes me sick. He makes me sick because he was fine when his father in law absurdly put him in charge of more than a dozen big jobs, from totally revamping how government operates to solving the opioid crisis to achieving a peace deal in the Middle East. He is not qualified to do any of those and yet thinks he is the best who can handle all of those. And oh as to his political chops, please note that it was Jared who urged Trump to fire Jim Comey. Jared thought it would be good for Trump and we all know how that worked out.

I despise Jared for his arrogance, despise him for his ignorance and despise that he makes himself out to be the prince of the Jews when in fact he is a walking example of the worst Jewish stereotypes. I cringed watching that AOL report. And I cringe when he calls himself and the missus Ivanka, Orthodox Jews. If they act or dress as Orthodox Jews, then I am a Buddhist monk.

Let’s take the Middle East piece of his portfolio. The guy really believes he can do what no one else has been able to do, not Dennis Ross or Bill Clinton or anyone with far more experience and wisdom. But he thinks he’s oh so clever and so he spent a whole night sitting up with the corrupt and greedy and equally arrogant crown prince of Saudi Arabia, sure his silver tongue could charm the Saudi prince to do stuff that will make it possible for the Jewish prince to bring peace. Jared is so stupid he doesn’t realize that of course the Saudi prince let him think he is going to help make peace. Boy, is Jared going to be shocked when he turns to the Saudi prince to deliver, and he finds out he has no intention of truly helping. Never did.

I found it particularly telling and hilarious this week when Jared and his flunkies in the Trump administration charged with making Middle East peace were practically urinating in their pants because Palestinian president Abbas went to the United Nations and made what they saw as a major and historic concession.

In his speech, Abbas recognized Jerusalem’s holiness to Jews. Yep, that’s what he did, but the reaction by Jared and his boys made you think Abbas asked Bibi out for dinner and a movie.

There Jared was, sitting right behind US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley as Abbas made his historic speech, telling us what is as obvious as that the sky is blue.

In a nauseating statement, Jared’s boys said “We appreciated the opportunity to listen to his speech,” adding “We were hoping to hear some new and constructive ideas, and the recognition that Jerusalem is holy to Jews in addition to Muslims and Christians is a step in the right direction.”

Hard to imagine a tinier step. How pathetic it is, how desperate Jared and his boys are that they grabbed onto a statement acknowledging that Jerusalem is holy to Jews as if it was some big whoop. But considering that Jared has been working on peace for more than a year and has nothing to show for it, I guess you gotta take what you can get.

Why peace is not going to happen now was seen by how the Israelis reacted. While Jared and his boys were overjoyed with what Abbas said, in his response to Abbas’ speech, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said of Abbas that “rather than driving just 12 minutes between Ramallah and Jerusalem, he has chosen to fly just 12 hours to New York to avoid the possibility of peace.”

Okay. For his part, Netanyahu said Abbas “offered nothing new. He continues to flee from police and continues to pay terrorists and their families.”

Please know that now that the Israeli police have recommended that Bibi be charged with a series of corruption related crimes, you can be sure he will become even more intransigent, inflammatory, will do all he can to make trouble so that he can paint himself as the tough guy who can handle the Palestinians and Iran. Even though it was under his watch that last week, an Israeli jet fighter was shot down for the first time in decades and an Iranian drone flew into Israeli airspace.

Everything his whole life has come easy to Jared, has been handed to him on a silver platter. Boy, is he in for a surprise when he finds out that peace in the Middle East is not something daddy can buy him.

Recombination rates of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates with both erm(B) and mef(A) genes.
Erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates containing both erm(B) and mef(A) genes have a higher rate of multidrug resistance (MDR). We investigated the relationships between the presence of erythromycin resistance determinants and the recombination rate. We determined the mutation and recombination frequencies of 46 S. pneumoniae isolates, which included 19 with both erm(B) and mef(A), nine with only erm(B), six with only mef(A), and 11 erythromycin-susceptible isolates. Mutation frequency values were estimated as the number of rifampin-resistant colonies as a proportion of total viable count. Genotypes and serotypes of isolates with the hyper-recombination phenotype were determined. Twelve S. pneumoniae isolates were hypermutable and four isolates were determined to have hyper-recombination frequency. Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates with both erm(B) and mef(A) genes did not show a high mutation frequency. In contrast, all isolates with a hyper-recombination phenotype contained both erm(B) and mef(A) genes. In addition, the recombination rate of isolates with both erm(B) and mef(A) genes was statistically higher than the rate of other isolates. The dual presence of erm(B) and mef(A) genes in some pneumococcal isolates may be associated with high recombination frequency. This may be one of the reasons for the frequent emergence of MDR in certain pneumococcal isolates.

Garson Mark Caruso, alias dictus, Garcon Mark Caruso, Appellant
v.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation, Appellee.
No. 671 C.D. 1988.
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.
Submitted on briefs August 9, 1988.
April 10, 1989.
Submitted on briefs August 9, 1988, to President Judge CRUMLISH, JR., Judge COLINS, and Senior Judge BLATT, sitting as a panel of three.
*55 Bernard S. Shire, with him, Mark J. Shire, Shire & Bergstein, for appellant.
Christopher J. Clements, Assistant Counsel, with him, Harold H. Cramer, Assistant Chief Counsel, with him, John L. Heaton, Chief Counsel, for appellee.
OPINION BY JUDGE COLINS, April 10, 1989:
The present matter was initially decided by this Court in an unreported decision in Caruso v. Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, (No. 671 C.D. 1988, filed November 15, 1988) (Caruso I). However, subsequent to that case being submitted for our review, but prior to the filing of our decision therein, this Court issued its decision in Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver Licensing v. Manuel, 119 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 264, 546 A.2d 1336 (1988) which conflicted with the decision in Caruso I. Accordingly, appellant, Garson Mark Caruso, alias dictus, Garcon Mark Caruso petitioned for reconsideration of his case so that the conflict between Manuel and Caruso I could be resolved.
The pertinent facts are as follows. Because appellant had accrued seven (7) points on his driving record in 1981, he was required by the Department of Transportation (Department) to take and pass a special examination. As he failed to pass the examination, he was informed by the Department on August 12, 1982, that his operating privilege was suspended until he passed the examination.
Appellant was then cited on December 10, 1982, for driving while under suspension pursuant to Section 1543 of the Vehicle Code (Code), 75 Pa. C.S. §1543.[1] Upon *56 receiving appellant's certified record of conviction, the Department revoked his operating privilege for a period of six (6) months on March 25, 1983. Subsequent to the expiration of the six-month period, appellant took no action to have his operating privilege restored.
On June 28, 1987, appellant was cited for driving while his operating privilege was revoked pursuant to Section 1543 of the Code. Subsequent to his guilty plea to this charge, the Department notified him on November 4, 1987, that his operating privilege was revoked for a period of two (2) years. Appellant filed an appeal and a hearing de novo was held before the Court of Common Pleas of Washington County. The trial court dismissed appellant's appeal by order dated February 19, 1988, and it is from this order that appellant brings this appeal.
The trial court found that the Department had met its burden of proving that appellant pled guilty to driving while his license was under revocation, and that he was under revocation as of the date of the violation. Therefore, the trial court found that the Department acted *57 properly in revoking appellant's operating privilege for two (2) years, as provided in Section 1543(c)(2) of the Code, 75 Pa. C. S. §1543(c)(2).
The issue presented is whether appellant should have received a two-year revocation of his operating privilege pursuant to Section 1543(c)(2) of the Code or a six-month suspension pursuant to Section 1532(b)(2) of the Code, 75 Pa. C. S. §1532(b)(2), when his initial revocation period had expired but he had not taken steps to restore his license.
In Manuel, Manuel's operating privilege was revoked for six months beginning on March 28, 1984. Although the revocation period expired, he failed to restore his operating privilege until August 5, 1987. Two months prior to the restoration of his operating privilege, however, Manuel was cited for driving with a revoked license and the Department imposed a two-year revocation of his license pursuant to Section 1543(c)(2).
On appeal, the trial court applied Section 1532 (b)(2)[2] and limited Manuel's new revocation to six months. The Department appealed that decision. This Court noted that revocation and suspension dates must end on a date certain, citing Commonwealth v. Parfitt, 286 Pa. Superior Ct. 279, 428 A.2d 991 (1981). Accordingly, we concluded that Section 1532(b)(2) was properly applied to Manuel's case, since Section 1532(b)(2) provides for a six-month suspension period in situations where a driver *58 was cited for driving prior to restoration of a license, although the revocation period had expired.
Based upon the foregoing, we adopt the reasoning of Manuel in the instant matter. Although Manuel involved driving while under revocation and the instant matter involves driving while under suspension, it is clear that both revocations and suspensions must end on a date certain, Manuel; Parfitt, and should receive equal treatment in cases such as the present matter.
Because appellant was cited four years after his revocation had expired, we hold that the Department should have applied the six-month alternative penalty provided by Section 1532(b)(2) of the Code.
Accordingly, we vacate this Court's previous order, reverse the order of the trial court and remand to the Department for a recomputation of the penalty to be imposed against appellant.

ORDER
AND NOW, this 10th day of April, 1989, the order of November 15, 1988 at No. 671 C.D. 1988 is hereby vacated. The order of the Court of Common Pleas of Washington County in the above-captioned matter is reversed and the Department of Transportation is directed to recompute the suspension period in accordance with this opinion.
Jurisdiction relinquished.
NOTES
[1]  Section 1543 provides:

(a) Offense defined.  Except as provided in subsection (b), any person who drives a motor vehicle on any highway or trafficway of this Commonwealth after the commencement of a suspension, revocation or cancellation of the operating privilege and before the operating privilege has been restored is guilty of a summary offense and shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of $200.
. . .
(c) Suspension or revocation of operating privilege.  Upon receiving a certified record of the conviction of any person under this section, the department shall suspend or revoke that person's operating privilege as follows:
(1) If the department's records show the person was under suspension . . . on the date of violation, the department shall suspend the person's operating privilege for an additional one-year period.
(2) If the department's records show that the person was under revocation on the date of violation, the department shall revoke the person's operating privilege for an additional two-year period. (Emphasis added.)
[2]  This section provides an alternative from the penalty provided in Section 1543(c)(2) which controls when a person was under revocation on the date of a violation. Section 1532(b)(2) provides in pertinent part:

(2) The department shall suspend the operating privilege of any driver for six months upon receiving a certified record of the driver's conviction of a subsequent offense under the following provisions:
. . .
Section 1543 . . . .

Our mothers didn’t teach us how to act and feel with grey hair and wrinkles. They never talked about how the transition felt. Do the rules change? Do people’s reaction to us change when white starts to show? Is that the end of our sexual attractiveness and the beginning of old age and decrepitude? In any case, I’ve decided to take the leap and blue is my theme color (to match my eyes). . . . . . #goinggray

I much prefer them. Here I was opening them in a slow-cooked garlic, parsley and white wine broth. Once opened, I removed them and cooked the juices and broth down for 20 minutes with a bit of tomato, after which I added the almost-cooked linguine to toss it briefly with the cooking juices.

I once made a silly remark that the apple in her Cézanne-like painting didn't look perfect, and she said something that changed my life. "Jonell, beauty is not about being perfect. It's about looking at the scars and imperfections and the things that don't quite fit. Beauty is in the differences." Thank you, Mrs. Miller. Ever since I can't look at an apple without thinking of Cézanne's apples. I see the beauty in the bruises, the irregular shape, the variations in color; I remember that he didn't

These dishes are best made, I'm told, with the freshly ground flour, which I can buy straight out of a jute sack at the market. It's so prized that it even has a DOP. In Lucca, chestnuts are often marked simply "neccio," the local dialect, and you also see Farina di Neccio della Garfagnana. I also used it in my Thanksgiving stuffing.⠀ .⠀ .


This invention relates generally to security devices incorporated into paper banknotes, in particular the use of a xe2x80x9cthreadxe2x80x9d which is made part of the paper banknote.
Threads have been used as a security device in paper banknotes for some time. A typical conventional thread is composed of metallized PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), i.e. a PET carrier layer supporting a metallic layer. The thread is typically either woven into the paper of the banknote, or hot foil stamped onto the banknote. In this specification, the word xe2x80x9csubstratexe2x80x9d will be used to refer to the web or other receiving sheet, including paper banknotes.
In one prior application where the thread is stamped onto the substrate under the application of heat and pressure, the PET carrier layer is stripped away from the metallized film after the thread has been applied. Alternatively, the PET carrier layer and the metallized film may, as a final step, be applied together to the substrate under the application of heat and pressure. In the first case the PET carrier layer is stripped away after the metallized film has been applied to the substrate, while in the second case it is not. The foregoing two alternatives have certain disadvantages. In the first, the heat sensitivity of the substrate may make it impossible to hot foil stamp the thread reliably. And in the second case, where the PET carrier layer and the metallic film are applied together to the substrate as a final step, the added thickness due to the PET carrier layer may cause web winding and sheet stacking problems if it is applied, for example, to a roll of paper or plastic film.
The present invention provides key improvements in the make-up of the thread, and to a standard thread application machine used previously to apply adhesive-coated threads to a substrate. With these improvements, the machine becomes capable of applying pressure-sensitive security threads onto a plastic or paper substrate, without the application of heat and without the PET carrier layer being applied.
Accordingly, this invention provides, for application to a substrate, a security thread comprising:
a carrier layer having opposed surfaces,
a first release layer on one of said surfaces,
a second release layer on the other of said surfaces,
a metallic layer outward of said first release layer, and
an adhesive layer outward of said metallic layer.
Further, this invention provides a method of securing a metallic layer to a substrate, comprising:
providing a security thread which consists of
a carrier layer having opposed surfaces,
a first release layer on one of said surfaces,
a second release layer on the other of said surfaces,
a further layer outward of said first release layer, said further layer being said metallic layer, and
an adhesive layer outward of said metallic layer;
bringing said substrate into contact with said adhesive layer and causing the adhesive layer to bond the metallic layer to the substrate, and
peeling the carrier layer away, so that it separates from the metallic layer at said first release layer.
Finally, this invention provides an apparatus for securing a metallic layer to a substrate, the metallic layer being part of a security thread which includes:
a carrier layer having opposed surfaces,
a first release layer on one of said surfaces,
a second release layer on the other of said surfaces,
a further layer outward of said first release layer, said further layer being said metallic layer, and
an adhesive layer outward of said metallic layer;
the apparatus comprising:
means for bringing said substrate into contact with said adhesive layer in order to cause the adhesive layer to bond the metallic layer to the substrate, and
means for peeling the carrier layer away, so that it separates from the metallic layer at said first release layer.


Tehachapi Municipal Airport

Tehachapi Municipal Airport  is in Tehachapi, Kern County, California. It covers  and has one runway.

The airport was established in 1929 originally to support an air mail route between Tehachapi and Bakersfield, but after the 1952 Kern County earthquake Tehachapi became inaccessible by roads or rail, and the airport saw an emergency relief airlift for several weeks.  There are hangars and an industrial park on the south side of the airport, and in 2009 the city was planning an expansion to include a taxiway and hangars on the north side.

In 1974 Golden West Airlines scheduled de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters to Los Angeles (LAX). The flight is in the August 1974 OAG but not in the March 1975.
