A rural Underwood home burned to the ground last Wednesday evening.

No one was injured in the fire, which may have started around the home's heating unit, but officials deemed the house a complete loss.

According to a press release from the Otter Tail County Sheriff's Office, dispatch received a report of a house fire at 33567 255th Street at 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 13. The call came from a nearby resident; the homeowners were not home at the time the fire started.

Deputies responded to the scene along with the Underwood and Battle Lake fire departments, Battle Lake Rescue Squad and Ringdahl Ambulance.

Heavy smoke and flames were visible on arrival. Firefighters were able to quickly bring the fire under control.

The case remains under investigation, though initial determination was that the fire started in the home's basement in the area of the heating unit.

RFC: Highlighting portions of code

by martin (Friar)
on Jun 26, 2007 at 17:54 UTC ( #623463=monkdiscuss: print w/ replies, xml ) Need Help??

Esteemed fellow monks:

More often than not, a piece of Perl code can say more than so many words of prose. When discussing code, or concepts that can be illustrated with code, I sometimes wish I had a simple way of highlighting portions of that code, while still presenting it in typewriter style and offering the whole snippet for download.

This is not about syntax highlighting or fancy HTML. It would be sufficient to switch between two font weights or something, in order to draw attention to certain passages.

Such passages could be the corrections I made in somebody else's script, for example.

How could that be achieved?

We need to consider two aspects: How can we express this feature in our writeups? How could it work?

One way to express it might be some sort of minimal markup to toggle between normal and highlighted text. That markup would have to vanish in the downloaded source, of course (rule 1). It would be nice if it could be used anywhere within a line (rule 2). For the author or editor, it should not damage the readability of the source code too much (rule 3). Writeups written without this feature in mind should not change in appearance (rule 4).

To implement the feature, the PerlMonks engine would presumably need a new set of filters to render our highlightable code sections in the contexts that matter (viewing, editing, downloading). I won't go into details here, as I am just a happy user so far and ignorant of any internals.

As to a possible syntax, this could take us some consideration, but I have come up with a first draft. Please feel free to comment on either the request in general or the suggested syntax.

Unsurprisingly, maintaining source readability turns out to be a tough requirement. Perl has such a rich syntax by itself that hardly any in-line symbol can be added that would be clearly distinguishable as alien and at the same time not obscure anything.

  • Highlightable code blocks need a new set of enclosing tags to avoid any ambiguity. I suggest <hcode>.
  • Source lines are written as is, just as in ordinary code blocks.
  • Tab characters should be avoided and replaced by the appropriate number of blanks.
  • Our minimal markup -- turning highlighting on and off -- is achieved using extra lines.
  • A line containing at least two but none other than ^ (caret) and . (dot) characters modifies the appearance of the previous line: Each character above a caret will be highlighted, all others not.
  • A non-code line forces the next line to be treated as code, whatever ist is. That way a row of dots can be used to guard a similarly looking code line.

<hcode> use strict; use warnings; print the_time(), "\n"; sub the_time { return scalar localtime @_; ...........^^^^^^ } __END__ </hcode>
In this example, only the word scalar would be highlighted -- rendered in boldface, say.

With respect to rule 3, I found it easier to mentally filter out funny looking lines than funny looking embedded character sequences from Perl source. I prefer dots to underscores to let those lines appear more as a unit.

The second best solution I considered allowed only complete lines to be highlighted. It would require the whole code block to be indented and reserve the first column to certain control markers, somewhat like unified diff output.

Anyway, I think such a feature could be quite useful. I hope it will neither be too difficult to get implemented nor the final solution too awkward to become popular. Have fun!

    I don't really have an opinion on wether a feature like this is needed, but if it's implemented, it might as well be implemented in a way that still leaves the raw code compilable...

    <hcode> sub the_time { return scalar localtime @_; #..........^^^^^^ } </hcode> nothing special needs to be done with the d/l code links.

Re: RFC: Highlighting portions of code
by shmem (Canon) on Jun 26, 2007 at 21:21 UTC
    If it's code, it's code. To highlight any parts, just use whatever you would do with these doing a code revision, or writing code in a way readable to less informed programmers, that is: use comments.

    IMHO that's the better solution, since following your proposals, highlighting would be lost downloading code.

    _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                                  /\_¯/(q    /
    ----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
    ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

Re: RFC: Highlighting portions of code
by graff (Chancellor) on Jun 27, 2007 at 03:24 UTC
    I'll second shmem'e response: explanatory comments (or just clear code layout with well chosen names for vars and subs) are the best way to draw attention to specific details in code that you want others to read and understand.

    Puttering around with what amounts to ASCII-art will be tedious, and well beyond the patience, attention span or mental capacity of many who (try to) post code here. It'll get especially unwieldy when someone feels compelled to use fairly long lines of code with highlighted stuff at the end.

    Even though I kinda like dhoss's suggestion to make sure that "highlighting directives" are really nothing more than commented lines in the code, I have to ask: well then, why not just say a few words in those extra comment lines, instead of counting out periods and carets?

Read Suffering from Buffering and get back to us on whether you can figure out your problem, and whether you understand buffering issues better.

(Random hint, you're probably writing to STDOUT, so replace OUTPUT_HANDLE with STDOUT in your snipppet.)

in reply to Using HTML::TableExtract

Hi, Okay, coming rather late (about a year) to the discussion...

I can't bear to see a thread go unfinished, especially when I've blatantly copied the original poster's code and edited it into working (the example web site used below is of personal interest to me and my loved ones):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use LWP::UserAgent; use HTTP::Request; use HTML::TableExtract; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(timeout => 10); my $url = ' +func=browse'; my $request = HTTP::Request->new('GET',$url); my $response = $ua->request($request); if ($response->is_success){ my $te = new HTML::TableExtract( headers => ['Request ID','Summary +'] ); $te->parse($response->content); foreach my $ts ($te->table_states) { foreach my $row ($ts->rows) { print (join("\t", @$row)."\n"); } } } else { print "Error: ".$response->status_line."\n"; }
N.B. this node isn't worth ++ing; it would only encourage this kind of behaviour :-)

There is no lack of variety when it comes to your hamster's housing. You can build a veritable city for your hamster with different combinations of cages, tubes, tunnels, penthouse suites and a variety of other features, which are as much fun for you as they are for your hamster. On the other end of the scale, your hamster can easily live in a simple wire cage or in an aquarium.

Wherever you decide that your hamster should live, consider these points:

Housing/Cage Style

Aquariums: Both glass and plastic aquariums can be used as hamster housing. Plastic Hamster Cages are lighter and therefore easier to clean than glass, but scratch easier.

Both glass and plastic aquariums have the advantage of being draft-proof; therefore, shavings and bedding remain inside (and not all over your floor!). They are easy to clean. However, glass and plastic aquariums accentuate temperatures so they can become quite hot and even dangerously so in direct sunlight. In addition, unless you add a specially designed top that takes add-ons, standard clip-on water bottles do not work (although they can be adapted with the use of stick-on Velcro pads). Aquariums are not suitable for a clip-on exercise wheel, although a freestanding wheel can be substituted. You must keep in mind that a freestanding wheel will take up more space in your hamster's home than a clip-on wheel.

If you decide to use an aquarium as your hamster's home, you must cover it securely so that he cannot escape and to keep out your other household pets. Wire mesh tops or ventilated plastic tops designed specifically for these purposes are available. Don't use a solid cover, or condensation may form inside the aquarium, heat will be trapped and there is no air circulation/ventilation - all of which can make your hamster sick.

Hamster Cages: Traditionally hamster cages have a plastic base with a rigid, snap-on wire top, but you can also find cages with a solid plastic base and a snap-on, ventilated clear plastic top. Cages are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and sometimes have exercise wheels. Some wire-topped models are two stories or more high. Although these cages may seem plain when compared to housing that is more elaborate with tubes and tunnels, they are relatively inexpensive and you can enhance them by adding various hamster furnishings and toys. Additionally, air flow in these cages is better than in an aquarium and it is easier to attach water bottles and accessories than it is in an aquarium.

Hamster cages generally have some type of "house" in which the hamster can hide. If your hamster's cage doesn't have a house, there are plastic, wood or ceramic houses available. You may also use something made out of cardboard such as a box or toilet tissue roll.

Tube Cages:Some cages are designed as a series of plastic tubes. Hamster Cages With Tubes can be more difficult to clean than the traditional hamster cage. You must also ensure that the connecting tunnels will be large enough for your hamster to pass through when he is fully grown and your hamster may try to eat the plastic, which can result in injury or escape.

Hamster Habitats: Clear, plastic tank-like habitats designed for hamsters and other small rodents provide many options. Created to take various add-ons such as tunnels, tubes, spinners, tree houses, slides, ladders, penthouses and sky towers, these clear condos provide a varied environment in which your hamster can exercise and play. This style of housing most closely simulates the tunnel habitat in which hamsters live, but it can be expensive and more difficult to clean than the standard hamster cage.

Your hamster's home should be large enough to provide ample room for his exercise wheel, sleeping area, food-hoarding area and toilet area, with room left over to scamper about. It is best to provide the largest habitat possible.

The door must close firmly so your hamster cannot push it open and escape. The doors should open outward rather than inward. If you use an aquarium with a wire-mesh or plastic top, make sure that the top fits snugly over the sides and that the hamster cannot squeeze out. Your hamster's cage must not have sharp edges or broken wires that may cause injury.

If the cage is plastic, make sure there are no exposed edges through which the hamster could chew and make an escape.

Ko and Shin share big lead after third round of Women's Australian Open

Lydia Ko at the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open

Lydia Ko jumped to an early lead Saturday in the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open, but opened the door for Jiyai Shin with two bogeys on the back nine.
Associated Press

Series: LPGA Tour

Published: Saturday, February 16, 2013 | 12:30 p.m.

CANBERRA, Australia -- Jiyai Shin of South Korea and 15-year-old amateur Lydia Ko both shot rounds of three-under 70 on Saturday to surge six shots clear of the field heading into the final day of the LPGA Tour's season-opening ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.

South Korean-born, New Zealand-based Ko jumped to an early lead at Royal Canberra with birdies on the second, fourth and sixth holes. She allowed Shin to retake a share of the lead with bogeys on No. 12 and 14 before making another birdie on the final hole to finish 17-under 202.

"When I was coming down the 18th I wasn't pretty happy with what happened. There were a couple more birdie opportunities that I did miss, so I said, `Lydia just have a birdie down the last hole and just be happy with that hole,'" Ko said. "I guess it worked. It's quite mentally hurtful when you do make bogeys along the way after you've been playing pretty good."

Two-time Women's British Open winner Shin kept pace, making an eagle out of the green-side bunker on the par-5 sixth, but gave up a chance of an outright lead when she had a bogey on the penultimate hole.

"I was too short to watch the eagle," Shin said. "First day and second day I made a good birdie with that hole so I was thinking I had a chance to birdie, but I was surprised it was in."

Beatriz Recari of Spain had a 71 to finish third. Top-ranked Yani Tseng also hit a 71 to finish a stroke back with a group of five players at 9 under, along with overnight leader Mariajo Uribe of Colombia, who shot a forgettable 79. They were joined by France's Gwladys Nocera, who was the day's best performer with a round of 65.

Stacy Lewis of the United States, the 2012 LPGA Tour Player of the Year, is 10 strokes off the lead after a 69, while four-time tournament champion Karrie Webb also had an improved performance with a 69 to sit another stroke back and seemingly out of contention.

Ko said she was looking forward to the challenge of going head-to-head with Shin in the final round.

"I've seen her play before at the Canadian Open and then on TV," she said. "She's a pretty accurate player off the tee, so in that way we could be pretty similar. She's a great player and there are things that I do need to learn from her."

Shin said the leading pair realistically only have each other to worry about, though the low scoring of the opening three rounds mean a late challenger cannot be ruled out.

"This makes it comfortable for us because we just focus -- I just focus about her score and she also just kept looking at my score," Shin said. "But this course has a lot of chance to birdie, a lot of par 5s, so I'm still keep watching for other players. First day Lydia hit a 10 under, I hit an 8 under, so all players had a chance to make the lower scores."

Published: Tuesday, December 20, 2011 | 5:21 p.m.

Imagine winning two of golf’s biggest trophies only a couple of months apart. Then, right when it looks as though a dream season can’t get any better, competing against a limited field of stars and beating Tiger Woods on the last day when no one gave you much of a chance.

That’s how it was for Mark O’Meara in 1998.

And that’s why he can appreciate how difficult it was this year for Graeme McDowell to follow up on a blockbuster season.

“I was winding down in my career, so it was a little different,” O’Meara said Monday. “But I know Graeme a little bit. Look, it’s hard to live up to the hype. All of a sudden, you feel like every major you should be in contention. You’re thrust into the limelight. It heightens the expectations that people place on you.

“And sometimes, there’s a little bit of a letdown.”

O’Meara scooped up a career’s worth of magic in 1998 when he birdied the last two holes to win the Masters, and at age 41, became the oldest man to win two majors in one season when he captured the British Open in a playoff at Royal Birkdale. If that wasn’t enough, he went to Wentworth for the World Match Play Championship and wound up facing Woods in the 36-hole final. All square with seven holes remaining -- three of them par 5s -- O’Meara beat him with a birdie on the last hole.

McDowell’s season in 2010 was eerily similar.

He won his first major in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, and then topped that with a week in Wales that felt better than a major. The Ryder Cup came down to the final match, and McDowell hit a 6-iron to 15 feet for a birdie on the 16th hole to take the lead and go on to win the cup for Europe.

Wrapping up his season in an 18-man field at Sherwood, he rallied from a four-shot deficit and made a pair of 20-foot birdie putts on the 18th hole to beat Woods in a playoff. No one had ever come from more than two shots behind to beat Woods in any pro tournament.

The encore proved more difficult than McDowell realized.

“No doubt the expectation levels were cranked up,” he said last week at Lake Nona during a corporate day for Ecco golf shoes. “I played like a man who wanted it really, really badly. And you can’t want it so badly that you get in your own way.”

As he looks back on a year in which he had as many top-10s as missed cuts -- seven each -- McDowell wishes he would have taken more time off. He spent the holidays with his family in Northern Ireland, and then flew across two oceans to Kapalua to start the new season. He shot 62 the last day and missed a playoff by one shot, and then again flew halfway around the world to Abu Dhabi and tied for third.

Not a bad start.

Finally, he gave himself a four-week break to recharge and reflect. He’s not sure he accomplished either.

“It was a switched-on break, not a switched-off break, and I think there’s a difference,” he said. “There’s a huge difference between taking two, three, four weeks off in the middle of the season because you never really switch off. And when I did switch back on, things felt different. My swing wasn’t there. My head wasn’t there.”

He had a one-shot lead at The Players Championship until closing with a 79. He never missed a shot in practice at the British Open, then chopped his way to a double bogey on the opening hole at Royal St. George’s and wondered what hit him.

“Last year, everything went right,” he said. “This year, everything went wrong.”

Even so, McDowell figures he learned more about himself during a winless 2011 than when he felt as though he won everything in 2010.

The greatest lesson?

“That your own expectations are dangerous,” he said. “The good times in golf and bad times in golf are so different. As golfers, we’re unbelievably good at berating ourselves when things go wrong. We’re not so good at giving ourselves credit when things go right. And there’s something to be learned there.”

Was it that bad a year?

He only made it through two rounds of the FedExCup playoffs, and he only made it to the weekend at one major. Still, he fell only seven spots in the world ranking and finished the year at No. 13. It was only two years ago that McDowell was thrilled to crack the top 50.

He earned 158 world-ranking points, slightly more than Rickie Fowler. It wasn’t all bad.

“I probably earned enough world-ranking points for a top-50 or -35 player. In the past, that would have been a great season for me,” McDowell said. “All of a sudden, it’s not a great season for me. It’s a huge disappointment. Have I really changed that much in a couple of years? It’s the perception of what’s good.

“I started experiencing great highs, and all of a sudden I needed so much more of it,” he said. “When the game wasn’t giving me them as readily, I was getting frustrated with myself. I went into the year promising I wouldn’t make these mistakes. Even though I knew the pitfalls, I couldn’t stop from falling in them.”

A year ago, McDowell didn’t want his year to end. This year, it couldn’t end soon enough.

He carries a lighter load home to Northern Ireland this week to spend Christmas with his family. McDowell no longer has possession of the U.S. Open trophy. Memories of the Ryder Cup are not as fresh. Woods won the very tournament where McDowell beat him a year ago.

He can only hope he is bringing with him something that ultimately proves as valuable as any trophy -- perspective.

“The biggest thing I learned this year was to never take anything for granted,” McDowell said. “And to realize that expectation levels are dangerous.”

PG&E Named One Of America’s Best Corporate Citizens Utility Ranks 37th among United States Companies in "100 Best Corporate Citizens" List Published by CR Magazine

Release Date: April 15, 2013
Contact: PG&E External Communications (415) 973-5930

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has once again been named to the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list — a comprehensive ranking of Russell 1000 publicly held U.S. companies that best advance corporate responsibility and sustainability through disclosure, policy and performance. This is the sixth consecutive year that PG&E has been included in the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list.

"At PG&E, our commitment to sustainability spans our ongoing work to strengthen our core operations and provide safe, reliable and affordable service, to our numerous initiatives in areas such as clean energy, workforce development, environmental stewardship and community engagement," said Ezra Garrett, vice president of community relations and chief sustainability officer for PG&E. "Our placement on the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list demonstrates our ongoing commitment across these areas."

To identify the 100 Best Corporate Citizens, companies were evaluated on 298 data points of disclosure and performance in seven categories: environment, climate change, employee relations, human rights, governance, finance and philanthropy. Selected companies successfully demonstrated, through publicly available data, their robust efforts to drive disclosure, policy and performance in these categories.

"The publication of CR Magazine's 14th annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens list shines a spotlight on companies like PG&E with a strong commitment to transparency and responsible practices," added Elliot Clark, CEO of CR Magazine. "Each year we are pleased to witness the growing commitment by corporations in an effort to improve their performance."

All data was collected and analyzed by IW Financial, a Portland, Maine-based financial analysis firm serving the Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) investment community. The full 100 Best Corporate Citizens list is posted on {CR Magazine's} website. An article about the 100 Best Corporate Citizens appears in the March/April 2013 issue of CR Magazine.

PG&E's annual Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Report, available at,details PG&E's commitment to sustainability. The report covers PG&E's progress in areas such as public and employee safety, gas and electric operations, environmental performance, diversity and inclusion, customer energy programs, financial results and economic vitality.

PG&E recently announced that it was named one of the nation's three most sustainable large utilities by Target Rock Advisors, and has also been included in Target Rock's 2013 Sustainable Utility Leaders Index (SULI).

Sewell Stipend to Attend the APHA Annual Meeting 2014 Call for Applicants

We are accepting applications for 2014 Sewell Stipends. The deadline is July 24, 2014.

History and Purpose of the Sewell Fund

The late Dr. Winifred Sewell worked with several professional associations during her long career in medical and pharmacy librarianship/information technology. This led to her appreciation of the key role that librarians and information professionals can play in raising the quality of health care. Convinced that interacting with public health and pharmacy colleagues would forge a much deeper understanding of the users’ roles and needs, she established the Grace and Harold Sewell Memorial Fund, Inc. (The Fund) to provide financial support to librarians and information providers who plan to attend the annual meetings of the American Public Health Association and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.

The Fund aims to increase librarians’ effectiveness at providing reliable/relevant information to health care professionals in the fields of public health and pharmacy. To achieve this purpose, the Fund awards reimbursement funds to librarians and other information professionals to defray association membership/registration/travel and per diem expenses of attending and/or participating in activities of the American Public Health Association (APHA).

Love Child: Grunge goddess Courtney Love opens up

By Randy LoBasso
Add Comment Add Comment | Comments: 2 | Posted Jun. 19, 2013

Share this Story:

A lot of people had those dancing bears for a while. Grateful Dead was all the rage.
I had a friend named Ian Franklin who was punk—like, a total death-rocker punk—and her version of rebelling was turning into the biggest fucking deadhead ever.  She was my first, like, Jewish-American princess friend, and I met her one time in a soup kitchen, and she had this brand new Volkswagen Jetta with dancing bears. We were in San Francisco, and she goes, “I’ll just have the water and the salad,” and I was like, whoever that is that needs to be my new girlfriend. Because she’s a genius. She just came into a soup kitchen with a bunch of hungry punks and ordered the water and the salad. And, you know, we and she actually did sound for the Breeders, did sound for Nirvana. She ended up being a really good sound, a well-respected sound person.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a punk rebelling by going hippie. I imagine it’s usually the other way around.

She was so into it! I actually went to a Dead show with her, and I mean … I’m sure I’ve been taken to many of them as a child, but I have no memory of them, and it was so just not me. I’m gonna go sell out and do a TV show, and then that’ll be like a six-month break, and then we put the single out. Then next year, we’ll do all the festivals and stuff.

What kind of TV show are you doing?

I can’t tell you, but it’s a really big one.  Your mind’s gonna boggle. Listen, your mind’s gonna boggle even more when they announce it.

OK, so …

Trust me. I know what I’m doing. It’s a network, dude.

It’s a network, but is it reality or is it scripted?

Yeah, it’s kind of … it’s reality.

It’s tasteful. You know, it took them 15 years to convince me to do this shit, and I finally said yes … I’m like, okay, I’m gonna do it. I will tell you this: It’s hilarious. That’s all I can tell you.
I’m in a good position, and it’s a good place, and I really think … the fly-over states have some weird opinions about me still. I’m always considered crazy or whatever, and it’s like, God, I haven’t taken drugs since like 2005. It sucks.  You know what I mean? Like, it’s just, whatever. Actually, as much as it’s, like, a shocker, it’s also going to clean up the garbage about, you know, who I am to some extent. I mean, the deal is sort of made, and I didn’t really have a choice, and I was like, “Never say never.” That’s all I can tell you. It’s not a proper network show. It’s not like some VH1 show, you know. It’s not—I’m not looking for love. Let’s put it that way.

That’s good to know because if that were the case, I’m not sure if I could watch it.
I can’t really take those shows.
I wouldn’t do that to anybody. I wouldn’t do it to myself. But you’re just gonna have to wait on that one. It’ll be good.

Have you ever considered releasing the rehab tape demos that you recorded?
Not really. They’re not that good. If they were really good, I would, but they’re not that good. Maybe in five years, I’ll revisit that, and I’ll change my mind, but if they were great, I would. They’re really naïve, and you know, naïve can be great. It’s just not that good right now.
The other thing I wanted to clear up was the stuff on Huffington Post about you looking for bandmates on Craigslist.
What went on with that?
It was totally true. I put an ad on Craigslist, and it said, “Hole-type band looking for Melissa Auf Der Maur’s type bass player,” and I got one response. That’s true.

I don’t know why it became such a big story, but there it is on Newsday. I got one response from a girl that went to Juilliard for four years, and I was like, “OK, Juilliard destroys people; I can’t deal.” But I love Shawn [Dailey], our bass player. Melissa won’t do it unless Eric does it—and that’s never, ever, ever going to happen. As much as I love Shawn, he’s who I’ll probably always record with, but I’m looking for a girl bass player, and they seem to have gone off to be artists or extreme sports people or something. Where the girl bass players used to be there, now it’s slim pickin’s.

Thurs., June 20, 8pm. $35. With Starred. Theatre of Living Arts, 334 South St. 215.922.1011.

Hawes offers early Sixers observations

Even though he’s 25-years-old Spencer Hawes is entering his seventh season, which qualifies as an older statesman on this young 76ers team.

Hawes offers early Sixers observations

Even though he’s 25-years-old Spencer Hawes is entering his seventh season, which qualifies as an older statesman on this young 76ers team.

Hawes, who returned to non-contract drills on Wednesday after twisting his right knee in drills on Monday, has some interesting observations as the Sixers prepare for a two-game trip to Europe, beginning with Sunday’s game against host Bilbao of Spain.

He says so many frontcourt players have been banged up that it has been hard to judge, but he sited the work of 6-foot-8, 260-pound Royce White.

“I think Royce has come in and made a good impression with his versatility,” Hawes said.

White’s story, about his fear of flying is well documented, but he was a first round pick last season with Houston and could be a player to watch for the Sixers.

Hawes also likes the work done by Thaddeus Young, who may be asked to be even more of a perimeter threat than in the past. Young has attempted just 34 three-point field goals over the previous three seasons.

“Thad looks good stretching his shot out, playing a little further out,” Hawes said.

This is all part of a plan to open up more space on the court.

“Coach (Brett Brown) is asking us big to space further out,” Hawes said. “It is going to be an adjustment period to it, but I think we have been receptive to the idea.”

That could mean even more three-point opportunities for Hawes, who was 31 for 87 (35.6 percent) from beyond the arc last year.

“I was shooting two’s earlier and coach gave me a hard time so I figured I better step back,” he said laughing.

Hawes has liked what he has seen of rookie point guard Michael Carter-Williams. In the beginning of camp, Hawes said that MCW was “like a deer in headlights” but added virtually all first-year players are like that in the beginning.

“The last couple of days he has adjusted and slowed himself down and got back to playing with his strengths," Hawes said.

Hawes, a free agent after this season, has seemed to relish being among the leaders on the team. And he says Brown made a favorable impression in his first training camp.

“I have been impressed how hands on he is from the starting five to the last guy in camp,” Hawes said. “He is extremely focused on teaching everybody no matter their position or standing.”

Hawes says he is looking forward to the European trip, which concludes with Tuesday’s game in Manchester, England against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

He also expects to be cleared to play. “My knee feels good,” he said.

While training camp for any team provides positive vibes, Hawes understands the Sixers will experience their share of growing pains.

“It’s a work in progress the way we are trying to change the system here and style of play with getting up and down the court a little more,” he said. “There have been times it looked good and times it looked (bad) and you have to expect that.”

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth: Gluten-Free Bakery Sweet Christine’s Opens May 17th

Sweet Christine's Bakery

Gluten-free dessert-lovers rejoice: Sweet Christine’s Bakery of Kennett Square has moved to a bigger and better location, and in celebration of the opening, they are throwing a party next Saturday. Party-goers can expect live music, discounts on goodies and, of course, tons of sweet gluten-free treats to taste test. (But trust us, these treats are totally delicious: here’s proof.)

But the best thing about the gluten-free bakery's new digs isn't the grand-opening party (although that is pretty sweet), it's the awesome perks the new larger space will allow: the bakery now has space to host gluten-free cooking classes—so you can finally, finally master the art of making gluten-free pizza crust—along with with birthday parties and meetings of celiac support groups. Meaning: the new Sweet Christine's won't just be a bakery, it'll be a go-to spot for the gluten-free community to gather. Pretty neat, huh?

The launch party will be an all-day event, beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m. on May 17th. Everyone is welcome—all you've got to do is head to 503 Orchard Avenue in Kennett Square with an empty belly and a sweet tooth. Happy taste-testing, folks!

North Shore Beach Club: “We Are Not to Blame for LGBT Pool Party Cancellation”

This week, Philly LGBT party producer Josh Schonewolf (Songbird, Mr. Everything) announced on Facebook that his weekly LGBT swim party at North Shore Beach Club, Drink or Swim, had been canceled. The post generated a lot of comments from disappointed swimmers and some who called North Shore homophobic. That latter comment stems from a situation in 2013 when several events were canceled following a particularly disorganized QFest event.

Schonewolf told me that, prior to being canceled, he’d received “five different excuses,” before eventually being told that they wouldn’t be doing any promotional events. “The way they went about it was really dismissive,” he told me. “This event meant a lot to a lot of LGBT folks, and they wouldn’t even schedule a meeting to discuss bringing it back. … It’s a hot mess.”

PHOTOS: Boys of Summer Pool Party at North Shore Beach Club

Friday night about 100 muscle-y souls braved the rain to enjoy PhillyGayCalendar’s Boys of Summer 2014 kickoff pool party at North Shore Beach Club. The affair was the first in a weekend long parade of parties that raised money for the long-running LGBT events calendar. The following day there was a car wash on Camac Street (a video soon to come), followed by the big party at Voyeur nightclub and, on Sunday, an afternoon BBQ to close out the annual event. I’ve got photos of the pool party below.

TONIGHT: Josh Schonewolf’s Big Gay Pool Party Kicks Off at North Shore Beach Club

drink or swim north shore beach club

Philly party producer Josh Schonewolf has a lot of great ideas, but I think this one takes the cake: Tonight is the debut of his weekly pool party at North Shore Beach Club, Drink or Swim. Schonewolf says the parties will happen every Monday throughout the summer — or until it gets cold — and feature surprise performances (drag queens! songbirds!), a revolving selection of local DJs, and your chance to see your Man Crush Monday and Woman Crush Wednesdays in the skimpiest getup imaginable.

Phoenix Designer Levi Christiansen: 100 Creatives

Meet the furniture designer.
Meet the furniture designer.
Matt Chenot

Phoenix is brimming with creativity. And every other year, we put the spotlight on 100 of the city's creative forces. Leading up to the release of this year's Best of Phoenix issue, we're profiling 100 more. Welcome to the 2014 edition of 100 Creatives. Up today: 78. Levi Christiansen.

Spare, sleek, sturdy.

Levi Christiansen's furniture is all of the above. He launched his eponymous line of home goods, including tables, chairs, and accessories, in November of 2013 and then executed a successful Kickstarter campaign to raise $10,000, which went toward newer tools and locally sourced materials.

Matt Chenot

The 28-year-old designer is based in downtown Phoenix. "I'm always working on a new piece of furniture, a photo project, or some décor related item," he says, adding that his next big project involves launching a new chair design and décor in fall or early winter.

I came to Phoenix with a little bit of money, and a lot of ideas.

I make art because there is an unbearable inner guilt and shame if the desire to create is ignored. It's all very Catholic I suppose.

I'm most productive when I'm alone.

My inspiration wall is full of mostly furniture designs I'm jealous of and creatives who are innovative thinkers.

I've learned most from. . . I think learning is a curation of experiences, But anything that challenges my perspective, ideas, or what I create is usually a steep learning curve. If someone can define learning the most from one thing, I think they are going about life all wrong.

Good work should always. . . sometimes good work is dramatic and wrought with implication. Sometimes good work is good just good because it's beautiful. Sometime good work is good because it is funny. Good is content in the proper context.

The Phoenix creative scene could use more people like Vidal Sassoon, and more shared art studios.

Dimensions4.45 x 1.93 x 0.39 inches (113 x 49 x 9.9 mm)
Weight2.47 oz (70 g)
the average is 5 oz (142 g)
Physical size1.8 inches
Resolution128 x 160 pixels
Pixel density

Pixel density - The pixel density of a display represents the number of pixels over an area of one inch. It’s measured in “pixels per inch”, or ppi. The higher the number, the more detailed and good-looking the display is.

114 ppi

Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.

CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access. A technique of multiplexing, also called spread spectrum, in which analog signals are converted into digital form for transmission. For each communication channel, the signals are encoded in a sequence known to the transmitter and the receiver for that channel. The foremost application is digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800MHz band and 1.9GHz PCS band. CDMA phones are noted for their excellent call quality and long battery life.

1900 MHz

Positioning - This field shows the positioning systems supported by the device. There are three main types: GPS, A-GPS and GLONASS. GPS - This is one of the most widespread global positioning technologies, developed and maintained by the U.S. government. It uses satellites in order to detect your location. Works best in clear weather. A-GPS - A-GPS stands for Assisted GPS and is the industry standard for positioning and navigation. “Assisted” means that it can use local wireless networks, in addition to satellites, for quicker and more precise localization. GLONASS - GLONASS is a global positioning system, developed by the Russian Federation. It’s very similar to GPS, but isn’t so popular in cell phones.

Your phones radio is not reading to cricKet's network properly, or cricKet just added their third generation to your wireless market. Faster data speed, if your phone or network allows.

Someone help!

by skintech    Jan 16, 2006, 8:53 PM

I have been with T-Mobile forever with my sidekick 2. Now I want a PDA that is faster when it comes to surfing the net. My question is: should i go with the Treo 650 or the new Sprint Pocket PC 6700? Which is better and is Spints internet as fast as Verizons? Verizon is expensive for me 45.00 a month to surf the net so Im looking into Sprint. Anything will be faster than T Mobile, right? Thanks....

Re: Off the boil

Posted by ESC on October 15, 2005

In Reply to: Off the boil posted by Rachel on October 15, 2005

: What is "off the boil?"

: I suspect it means not excited (hot) to do something. But I have to use it in a play and it seems to imply that my husband stopped wanting to have sex. Is it always meant to be sexual? Or does it apply to other things as well? Thanks.

I've never heard it in the U.S. I'll check my reference books. It makes me think of old wood cookstoves. If you wanted a pot or kettle to boil, you moved it to a hot part of the stove right over the firebox.

Understanding How Federal Health Laws Are Published and Organized

Understanding How Federal Health Laws Are Published and Organized

As a physician, it is important that you keep abreast of what is required of you under rapidly changing federal laws. But to follow the law, you must be able to find it in a sea of gibberish and the strange sets of numbers and abbreviations following the common names of laws. If you have ever been frustrated by this, let’s take away some of the mystery.

Federal health law normally comes from two sources: Congress and federal agencies. Only Congress makes statutes, while agencies make administrative regulations. Statutes are initially only found by using the common name (and abbreviations and numbers that follow common names) such as the Affordable Care Act, “Pub. L. 111-48, 124 Stat. 119.” Later, portions of some of these statutes will be cut and pasted into the appropriate United States Code, (such as 42 U.S.C. 1395nn.) Regulations adopted by agencies such as CMS, OIG, and HHS will be accompanied with the citation, “Code of Federal Regulations” (i.e.,42 C.F.R 411.350) and/or the Federal Register (i.e., 72 F.R. 51012). Let's look at how these laws get these confusing abbreviations and numbers, and what they mean.

Acts of Congress
The Constitution grants to Congress the power “to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper.”  Traditionally, these acts were printed on parchment. Congress will usually give the act a common name, such as the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.”  (Although others, such as “Obamacare” may stick.)  Individual Acts of Congress, are numbered chronologically in the order in which they become law. (Public Law 111-48 is the 48th law passed by the 111th Congress.) At the end of the term of Congress, the various acts are placed in a sequential bound set of books called the “United States Statutes at Large,” (citations look like this: “64 Stat. 980”). But this only tells a part of the tale.

Acts of Congress are like grocery bags in that a single act often contains provisions for many different organizations who depend upon them — with a paragraph here on “defense,” and a section there on “taxes”— but with no organization.  Even when the acts are bound together in a volume of session laws, they are basically like bags on a shelf.  You can’t find anything — even if you know generally when the act was passed.

How do these acts get organized so that we can find them? Simple. Somebody has to put the “groceries” away in an organized fashion. That’s where the Office of the Law Revision Counsel (LRC) of the U.S. House of Representatives springs into action and the United States Codes (U.S.C.) come into being.

The United States Code is divided into "titles" (based on overall topics) numbered 1 through 51. Title 42 contains Medicare and Medicaid statutes (for example, “Stark Law” was originally 42 USC §1395nn). The United States Code is actually a “revisionist’s history” in which the LCR editors take virtual scissors (and paste) to Acts of Congress, in an effort to carry out Congress’ intent of adding to, deleting, and modifying laws. Pieces of a single act may end up in many different volumes, and are usually completely renumbered to match the paragraphs of the U.S.C.  The Roman numerals are not important under the U.S.C. because the Code numbering system is unique, (there is only one 42 U.S.C. §1395nn, while there are many Title XVIIs used by Congress.)

While the U.S.C. is better organized for finding things than official acts or public laws, there are still problems. Until an act is placed into the U.S.C., it can be difficult for mere mortals to find something like the “Sunshine Act,” (because it is actually a small part of the ACA, not a free-standing law.)

Adding to the misery, when Congress or an agency refer to, add to, take away, or amend a law (seemingly just to annoy us,) the government won’t use the simpler U.S.C. system. Instead, the government uses the original chapters, titles, and sections contained in the original loose-leaf “Pub. L” or “Stat.” version. (Example, the “Sunshine Act” in ACA was an Act to Amend Title XI of the Social Security Act — and not the United States Code Section where the amended statute could more easily be found.) Although necessary, this can drive a person crazy unless you actually work on Capitol Hill and cross-reference for a living.

“Alphabet Agency” Regulations
 Congress enacts major legislation, but may delegate day-to-day rule-making to what are commonly termed the “alphabet agencies,” which are actually part of the executive branch of government. CMS for example, is part of a department headed by the President’s Cabinet-level appointee, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS.)

Regulations of the alphabet agencies are first published in the federal register (see below) and in the C.F.R. volume matching the enabling statute or Act of Congress under the U.S.C. Thus, Medicare regulations are published in the multi-volume 42 C.F.R, which matches the volume number of Medicare statutes under 42 U.S.C. It is often difficult to know whether there are federal regulations in addition to a Congressional Statute. (For example, Stark Law is comprised of both Statutes 42 U.S.C. 1395nn. and three different versions of federal regulations under 42 C.F.R. 411.350 et seq.)

The Federal Register
Much like a cash register, the Federal Register is published daily and records everything the government does. The federal register is not good for finding things if you do not have the volume and page. It is said to be where the government “thinks out loud.” Anything can go into the Federal Register, including proposed rules for public comment, or public laws prior to codification. Because the Federal Register is published daily, it serves the useful purpose of providing an immediate volume and page number for government action (such as 72 F.R. 51012.)  However, because the Federal Register is only organized in chronological order, it does not match the U.S.C. or C.F.R. numbering system.

So how do you find laws and regulations? Fortunately, we have the Internet. All of the statutes, codes, and regulations are published in full text on the Internet. To find them, it is often easiest to look up an article written by healthcare professional or lawyer that contains a hyperlink to the law discussed, then simply “click.” I can’t promise what you read will make sense, but at least you will understand what all the abbreviations and numbers mean.

Research grants

This grant scheme is intended to support physiologists in their first permanent academic position or returning to a permanent position after a career break. Funds of up to £10,000 are available for a 12-month period, to provide support for their research or to provide seed-funding to start a new project.

Funds can be used to conduct pilot studies, develop a new technique or finalise a project. Funding cannot be used to fund PhD studentships or pay staff, to pay for attending conferences, personal salary or general office costs. However, the grants offer flexibility and animal costs, experimental consumables, and small equipment purchases (excluding PCs) are permitted.

In 2015, there will also be additional funding for projects that have a potential impact on the Replacement, Refinement and/or Reduction of animals in research (the 3Rs). This funding is possible through collaboration with the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs). Applications considered for this ear-marked funding must fit within at least one of the 3Rs:

  • Replacement - methods that avoid or replace the use of animals
  • Reduction - methods that minimise the number of animals used per experiment
  • Refinement - methods that minimise the suffering and improve animal welfare

Applications for the 2015/16 academic year closed on 8 March 2015.

The small print

Research Grants are available to physiologists returning to a permanent position after a career break or who are less than two years into their first permanent academic position (at an institution in the UK or Republic of Ireland) by the time the grant starts. Any period of maternity or paternity leave taken during the first two years of appointment is excluded from this restriction. Applicants must hold a PhD and be in-post before the start of the award. Please note that current fellowship holders are ineligible.

Applicants can either be a full Member or Affiliate of The Society, or have previously presented a talk or a poster at a Society meeting. Applications from non-members need to be sponsored by a full Member of The Society.

Applications should be physiological in nature and should not overlap with existing funding. Each application will be considered by 3 peer reviewers identified by The Society. The marking scheme for the grant review process can be downloaded below.

Applicants that are submitting a proposal with a potential 3Rs impact should clearly indicate this on the application form. These applications will also be assessed by the NC3Rs. The NC3Rs scoring criteria can also be downloaded (see below).

The applicant’s host institution must be willing to administer the award, and a maximum of two awards will be made to each host institute.

Successful applicants are expected to take up their funding in September 2015, and will be asked to submit an end of grant report and a financial audit of spending no later than three months after the end of the grant. If such a report is not submitted the holder will be deemed ineligible for any other funding from The Physiological Society. Any funds not used at the end of the grant period must be returned to The Society.

The Physiological Society is committed to the principles of diversity, equality and inclusion, and thereby welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds.

High-fat diet-fed nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2-null mice demonstrate increased susceptibility to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis without peripheral insulin resistance.

P. J. Meakin1, S. Chowdhry1, S. V. Walsh2, J. F. Dillon1, J. D. Hayes1, M. L. Ashford1

1. Biomedical Research Institute, University of Dundee, Dundee, United Kingdom. 2. Department of Pathology, University of Dundee, Dundee, United Kingdom.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Many individuals exhibit simple steatosis, but a significant proportion develop non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), with some progressing to cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. However, the molecular events underlying this change are not understood. It is postulated that progression of steatosis to NASH is mediated by two metabolic insults: increased delivery of free fatty acids to the liver in association with peripheral insulin resistance and the subsequent increase in oxidative stress through the production of reactive oxygen species. Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a master regulator of cellular adaptive responses to oxidative stress and has been implicated, using a methionine and choline-deficient diet, in the inhibition of liver steatosis (1-3). Thus failure to adapt to metabolic and oxidative stress may be associated with increased susceptibility to NASH. Consequently, we have examined the effects of high-fat diet on hepatic pathology and biomarkers of fatty acid metabolism and inflammation in livers of wild type and Nrf2-null mice, and explored whether these outcomes correlate with peripheral insulin resistance. Wild type and Nrf2-null mice were fed a regular or high-fat diet for 24 weeks, prior to analysis of livers. Both genotypes on regular diet displayed normal glucose homeostasis, whereas on the high-fat diet wild type mice became glucose intolerant, which was resisted by Nrf2-null mice. Independent histopathological scoring of wild type livers showed no evidence of steatosis on regular diet and mild NASH following the high-fat diet. In contrast, Nrf2-null livers displayed mild NASH on the regular diet and severe NASH with cirrhosis on the high-fat diet. Quantitative RT-PCR of wild type mouse liver mRNA showed greater up-regulation of anti-oxidant response genes in response to high-fat diet than Nrf2-null livers. At mRNA level, significantly greater fold increases (n = 11; values are means ± S.E.M. compared by t-test) were noted for the fatty acid metabolism genes, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (1.43 ± 0.09, p < 0.05) and fatty acid synthase (2.20 ± 0.21, p < 0.05) in high-fat diet Nrf2-null, compared to wild type, livers. Nrf2 mouse high-fat diet livers also had significantly greater mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines: e.g. cyclooxygenase-II (2.25 ± 0.10, p < 0.05), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (2.05 ± 0.13, p < 0.05) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (9.52 ± 0.50) compared to wild type. Thus the absence of Nrf2 markedly accelerates the development of NASH driven by dietary fat excess, but this is not associated with a deterioration of peripheral insulin sensitivity.

Where applicable, experiments conform with Society ethical requirements

Were Missing Petite Blondes Heather Hodges, Kelli Bordeaux, Paige Johnson, Holy Bobo and Lauren Spierer Abducted by a Facebook Predator, Cops Have No Clues.

As more and more time passes by the missing person and/or kidnapped cases of petite blondes Heather Hodges, Kelli Bordeaux, Paige Johnson, Holy Bobo, Lauren Spierer and others appears to be the work of a serial sexual predators who has  a specific type of female that he seeks out.  Cops claim the cases of the missing petite blonde females are not related, oh really?

The FBI has not released any information about the profile of a possible perp in any of the cases, so what is really going on?  The one common denominator is that all of these missing person and/or kidnapped females had posted photos and bios of themselves online with Facebook or Myspace or "other" social networks including information about what town or city they lived in and where they hung out.

The never ending list of missing and/or kidnapped petite blonde females that have plagued the southern Midwest for the past several years continues to grow with no cell phone activity, no credit card activity, no suspects, no persons of interest and apparently no clues for the local cops who have no answers for the grieving relatives in several states.

In at least 9 cases of missing petite blonde females from the southern Midwest the women disappeared from public streets, no homes or apartments were broken into, none of the women’s boyfriends or husbands or fathers or brothers are a suspect in their disappearance, there are no images of the women from surveillance cameras on the street, they all just disappeared into thin air, someone knew where to find them when they were out.

The FBI has not listed Heather Hodges, Kelli Bordeaux, Paige Johnson or Lauren Spierer on their Kidnappings & Missing Persons website page, see . The FBI has not released a profile on the man who is known to have kidnapped Holly Bobo, so why are they holding back, what are they holding back?

How Online Predators Make Use of Your Facebook Profile, see

In my opinion in the missing and/or kidnapped cases of petite blonde females Heather Hodges, Kelli Bordeaux, Paige Johnson, Holy Bobo and Lauren Spierer, the women have been removed from the area by a predator using Facbook online information;
1). Heather Hodges was removed from Rocky Mount VA on Monday April 9th 2012.
2). Kelli Bordeaux was removed from Fayetville NC on Saturday April 14th 2012.
3). Paige Johnson was removed from Florence KY on Thursday September 23rd 2010.
4). Holly Bobo was removed from Darden TN on Wednesday April 13th 2011.
5). Lauren Spierer was removed from Bloomington IN on Friday June 3rd 2011.

I feel that these very attractive petite blonde females were unknowingly getting a lot of attention online through their Facebook page or MySpace or any ad they may have posted online.  I have found through multiple infidelity investigations that young females and males post way too much information about themselves along with provocative photos on FaceBook and MySpace. All of these very attractive females, Heather Hodges, Kelli Bordeaux, Paige Johnson, Holy Bobo and Lauren Spierer had FaceBook pages or online ads with photos of themselves.

Whenever I get a missing person or infidelity case that involves a young male of female, 18 to 28, the first place I go to find additional information on them is Facebook where I will find multiple photos of them along with their friends at various bars and social functions, names, locations, dates it is all there. I can locate anyone within 48 hours from information posted on their Facebook page, if I can so can others.

Heather Hodges of Rocky Mount VA went missing April 9th, 2012, Heather Hodges has long blonde hair and blue eyes she is 22 years old. Heather Hodges is 5′ 1″ tall and weighs about 100 pounds. The Missing Persons Database lists Heather Hodges with the nickname "Tink", see .

Heather Hodges was living on Shady Lane just off of Highway 220, see location on map CLICK HERE.

Kelli Bordeaux, 23, was last seen early Saturday morning, April 14th, 2012, leaving Froggy Bottoms bar 6326 Ramsey Street Fayetteville, NC, her husband did not know that Kelli was going to to the Foggy Bottoms bar while he was in Florida. Kelli Bordeaux had posted some very revealing photos of herself on Facebook, see CLICK HEREKelli Bordeaux has long blonde hair, she is 5′ 0″ tall and 99 lbs, the private first class, is stationed at Fort Bragg, she was reported missing on Monday by base officials, police said. Froggy Bottoms bar is next to I-295 see map CLICK HERE.
