I am currently working on a design/build project on a local colleges fraternity house. The house is owned by the college, I am having a hard time classifying the type of construction and use group of the building. The project is a toilet and shower room renovation. The house itself was built in 1890 and since then has had one addition. The renovation is located in the addition and the addition is constructed of 8″ CMU exterior walls with brick veneer and the interior walls are constructed of 2×4 wood framing and 1/2″ drywall. Also the project is located in Ohio. Would anyone be able to give me an idea of the type of construction and use group?

Government & Press
Appearing on CNN shows Thursday night and Friday morning, law enforcement analyst and former FBI Supervisory Special Agent James Gagliano slammed former FBI Director James Comey in context of the Justice Department’s IG report for having been “the least equipped lifeguard” to lead the FBI who “created a culture around him of young, callow, inexperienced agents.”
These people can be so predictable. Hours after his angry outburst during Thursday’s White House Press Briefing, Playboy writer, Sentinel Newspapers editor, and CNN political analyst Brian Karem was given a hero’s welcome on Erin Burnett OutFront to expand on his squabble with Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders over the detention of illegal immigrant children.
First reported by The Daily Caller’s Joe Simonson, the Department of Justice’s Inspector General report on the Hillary Clinton e-mail probe found on Thursday that not only were “numerous FBI employees...in frequent contact with reporters” when they shouldn’t have been, but they “improperly receiv[ed] benefits from reporters,” including food, golf trips, and tickets to sporting events.
On Thursday, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough took to the airwaves to repeat the claim from Boston Globe reporter Liz Goodwin that "children are being told and their parents are being told that they're being taken off to the showers. And that they'll return. And they never return."
A day after MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews called out President Trump for “coming out like a kiss butt” in dealing with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, the liberal pundit reveled on Wednesday in comparing Republicans to North Korean soldiers and comments by Tennessee Republican Senator Bob Corker that GOPers are part of a “cult” for enthusiastically backing President.
If you weren’t sure whether a certain phrase in the headline was a word, it’s a no but MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews tried on Tuesday night to make it one. Describing President Trump’s attempts at currying favor with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, Matthews told one of his panels that Trump didn’t come off like someone skilled in “political communiques,” but instead “like a kiss butt” and “it’s outrageous the way he talks.”
Cuando la prensa a sabiendas tergiversa reportes sobre estadísticas para imponer su narrativa particular, tal como lo hizo con un estudio de Harvard acerca del huracán María y las muertes que supuestamente ocasionó en Puerto Rico, contribuye al empeño de convertir el duelo boricua en balón político para fines electorales.
CNN global affairs analyst and anti-Trump Republican Max Boot has had a rough day with this Trump-Kim summit. So, it was natural for him to repeatedly dismiss the Singapore gathering on Monday’s CNN Tonight as something that “any previous president could have done” and it was only Donald Trump who foolishly decided to make North Korea’s dreams come true and legitimize them on the world stage.
Less than two hours before the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore, MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews and panelists Elise Jordan and Bobby Ghosh declared that President Trump is a “wannabe despot” who wants to “fulfill his fantasy” by ruling the country with an iron fist while having more affection for dictators like North Korea’s Kim Jong-un than U.S. allies.
A Net Neutrality-free Internet – is the Internet status quo. It’s “The Internet as we know it.”
Everything you knew about the Internet the first two-plus decades – is what you know about the Internet now.
Everything else being flung at you by the Media-Left – is just ideological monkey poo.
When media knowingly and willfully misreport data stories in service of a narrative, as with the Harvard study on deaths related to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, they contribute to the ongoing effort to commodify grief for political gain.
If politicians are the most self-centered group of people in America, the news media is a close second. That pompousness was on display during the Tuesday edition of CNN’s The Situation Room as a segment was dedicated to political analyst April Ryan shouting at White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders over the national anthem protests by NFL players. Also in that segment, CNN Tonight host Don Lemon suggested that it was “fake patriotism” to simply believe in standing for the Star-Spangled Banner.

Another bill that has passed the General Assembly will increase in the speed limit. Senator Brett Guthrie represents Butler and Warren Counties sponsored the bill.
He said you can drive from Lake Michigan to Gulf Shores of Alabama and Kentucky is the only state where you can’t drive 70 miles-an-hour. However, there were several bills that didn’t make it through. Those include funding for the Bluegrass Airport where the Comair crash occurred, money for Wolf Creek Dam repairs and legislation for the Math and Science Academy at Western.
“My challenge is to figure out, is how at the end of the session is we sit down and people work together to see bills go forth that need to pass,” Senator Guthrie said.
One of the other bills that didn’t make it through the General Assembly was House Bill One, sponsored by Speaker Jody Richards of Bowling Green. This bill would have restored university projects that were vetoed by Governor Fletcher during the last budget cycle.
The mood on Western Kentucky University’s campus about the General Assembly’s failure to compromise on House Bill One can be described just like the weather ... dreary.
“Obviously there’s a little bit of disappointment, I’m sure. Obviously there’s some dismay especially among some folks who weren’t following this daily,” said Robbin Taylor, assistant to the university’s president.
The bill would have allowed funding for seven projects at Western. Three of those were to be paid by the state. The other four were agency funded, however the university needs the state’s approval for the bonds to begin the work.
“We cannot do these projects. We will be delayed until the General Assembly does at some point, hopefully, go back and revisit these projects,” Taylor said.
While many of the projects are on the back burner for now, some of the university’s money can be spent on a few, small improvements to the campus.
“We spent some of our own cash to do some of the parking improvements and we are currently doing that,” Taylor said.
University money has also been use on other projects.
“We spent some of our own cash for some of the improvements in the fine arts center to deal with some HVAC issues that are a real problem for that building and we’ve done planning and design on Van Meter and Preston Center,” Taylor said.
While those on the hill are disappointed House Bill One didn’t make it through this session, they say our legislators fought for the university’s projects.
“They did everything they could to try and negotiate to try and get our things done,” Taylor said.
Now they’re heading back to the drawing board and looking forward to brighter days in the next session.
Taylor said if the governor calls a special session, those with Western will lobby for House Bill One to be put on the list.

Plans unveiled for apartments targeted at first-time buyers
York-based property specialist, Helmsley Group, has revealed plans for a new development aimed at helping first-time buyers in York.
The new development, Luna, is located on Fifth Avenue, near Tang Hall Lane and, subject to planning approval, will be made up of 50 one and two-bed apartments.
The latest plans have been unveiled following the company’s success with first-time buyers at Clifton Moor and more recently at its Aura development, which saw all 14 apartments reserved within two weeks following its launch.
The gated apartment scheme at Luna is within walking distance of the city centre and is planned to benefit from private parking, individual gardens and superfast hyperoptic broadband.
Each apartment will have secure under-cover bike storage, as well as parking spaces equipped with EV charging points.
The apartments are proposed for the site of the former Cherry Tree House care facility, which was closed earlier this year following a strategic property review by the NHS.
Max Reeves, development director at Helmsley Group, said: “We’re proud of the legacy we’re building in helping first-time buyers and families access high quality, affordable housing in and around York.
“We know there is a lot of demand for housing in York as the city has a lot to offer for individuals and businesses, but often what’s on offer is out of the price range of first-time buyers.
“By creating more homes at Luna aimed specifically at first-time buyers, we plan to transform a site with an underutilised, vacant building and give more people the opportunity to enjoy living close to the city centre.”


Eimear Cook lied in her evidence about two meetings she had with Rebekah Brooks, the former editor's defence counsel told the court.
Cook admitted under cross-examination that a meeting at a friend's home had probably taken place in September 2005 - 10 months later than she had initially claimed.
Jonathan Laidlaw QC also questioned Cook's police statement in which she said Brooks had told her about being accused of assaulting her then-husband Ross Kemp.
He told the court: "Mrs Brooks was not the subject of an accusation of assault, or the subject of the police being called until November 2005 ... Not only did it not happen, it could not have happened."
Cook replied: "I did not make it up ... I have no grievance against Mrs Brooks personally."

MUSANZE – Police in Musanze district are searching for a man who allegedly attacked Gacaca court judges who were trying his case in which he is accused of destroying property during the 1994 Genocide.
The incident happened in Mpenge cell in Musanze town.
Police identified the suspect as Iddi Abdal Aziz Baziruwiha, the National Youth Coordinator in the district.
It is alleged that Baziruwiha reacted after the judges found him, his father and two sisters guilty of looting and destroying a house which belonged to Ansila Mukambuguzye.
According to eye witnesses, Baziruwiha grabbed one of the seating judges by the neck, while his sister cheered him up, before residents intervened to stop the fight.
The president of the traditional judges in Musanze, Shakira Niyotegeka, confirmed the incident, explaining that court had ordered each of the convicts to pay a fine of Rwf800,000 that will contribute to Rwf5m , the value of the destroyed property.
According to sources, Baziruwiha, who is also a commissioner in the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission, disappeared immediately after the incident.
Gacaca convened yesterday and sentenced Baziruwiha to one year in jail for fighting the judges, while his sister was sentenced to 6 months for similar misconduct.

Bike Rent & Where to Ride: Pittsburgh, PA
A colleague & I will be visiting Pittsburgh PA in the next 3 weeks for business, and would like to continue training while away on business (from Johannesburg, South Africa).
We're busy training for a local stage race - the Sani2C
Awesome 3 day race, you can Google for the website using the above name for more information.
We need advise please on the following:
- Where to rent mountain bikes (at reasonable rates)?
- Where can we do rides of about 50 miles & about 2500ft ascend?
Last edited by JMJ; 04-08-2013 at 06:33 AM.
There are probably 20 different parks to ride within an hour of Pittsburgh. None of them will have 50 miles of trail or a ton of elevation. However the trails can be up and down and technical enough to tire out pretty much anyone in 30 miles or less. Most group rides are more like 15 or 20. Almost no trails are marked and maps are rare so you'd be better off with a local guide.
Which part of town will you be staying in? That'll determine which park makes sense. Sorry, no idea where to rent a real mountain bike. If you're in my part of town I'd be happy to show you some of my favorite technical singletrack. Here's the latest sample within the city limits:
Crater Trail - April 5th 2013 - YouTube
And trails an hour out of town:
Moraine State Park - March 30th 2013 - YouTube
Group rides are sometimes posted to the PORC website so that's a good place to start.

Re: Bike Rent & Where to Ride: Pittsburgh, PA
I am not sure of the dates that you will be coming but there is a brady's run park 6 hr race on May 5th. You and your partner could do it solo or as a two man team!
Great people, technical riding, and good climbs.
You can check it out on bikereg.com or ask me.
As far as renting a bike...i am not sure. Maybe you could rent a demo bike for riding.

Sorry to say, but outside of true mountain biking hotspots, bike rentals (particularly for serious mountain biking use) can be few and far between. I can't recommend any shops off hand b/c I never had to rent in Pittsburgh. If no one replies with help, I'll ask a friend and try to post some info.
As far as getting some distance with a bit of climbing in: there are a bunch of trail systems close by, but none are going to be 50 miles without repeating some of it. However, I think that loops around the lake at North Park (on the MTB trails) would be able to approach 50 miles easily (you might need 2 or 3 loops; I doubt it would be 4, but maybe ....), of course it depends on your exact course) and, while it is "flat", there is a lot of smaller climbs. I don't know what it would add up to, but I'll try to find old GPS logs.
Here's the maps for North Park (look for the North Park, Central and South maps):
Parks Department Maps
Here's the location of the Park with respect to Pittsburgh:
Boyce Park also has nice riding, but is probably a little more confusing and you won't be able to "just crank" as much.
I second Moraine for a lot of fun.
Another option, east of Pittsburgh, about 1 hour, is the Laurel Highlands. There are some longer options there (see Laurel Mountain then Suggested Routes which is 24 for one loop):
LHORBA : Mountain Bike Rides
Many Thanks to all the responses, I will be investigation all the options mentioned.
We are staying in the Washington/Houston area.
I found this website with equipment hire - any thoughts: Great Allegheny Passage | GAP | Mountain Biking - PA Pennsylvania Ski Resort | Four Season Resort | Seven Springs Mountain Resort - 7 Springs
That website is for the seven springs ski resort. I go downhill biking there in the summer. It is an hour drive from pittsburgh or where you will be staying. The GAP trail is an old railroad route that has been converted into a pedestrian trail. It isn't mountain biking but is a good road bike or cross bike trail.
Near Washington Pennsylvania, Hillman state park has good mountain biking. People around here sometimes refer to that park as bavington.
There's bike rental downtown: Bikes and Rates | Golden Triangle Bike Rental
And bike share with Dirty Harry's: Bike share program under way in Verona - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
That's about all I'm aware of though.
If you're staying in Washington, Bavington (aka Hillman State Park) will be your best bet.
You'd have to repeat some stuff to get in 50 miles, but there's a lotta trail out there. Definitely good to have a guide if possible (there's lots of rides out there on Sundays) but there are some maps around, but I'd definitely recommend having GPS just in case you get turned around.
Frick park is awesome, so is Boyce.
Laurel Highlands will give you plenty of elevation change, too.
Oh noes. I'm going to drink the Kool-Aid.
So, if you're south of the city, getting to Verona for bikes is going to be annoying ... unless you ride North Park or Boyce.
Here's another thought: you could probably get bikes in Ohiopyle (google for shops) and either ride near there (which is still Laurel Highlands area) or take a slight drive and ride Quebec Run -- which is a really cool wilderness area. I've never ridden Quebec Run, but I've hiker there (and helped mountain bikers we found in the middle of friggin' nowhere). Talking to any potential rental shops in Ohiopyle might give you more ideas.
Getting to Seven Springs area isn't bad from Washington (basically a straight shot on interstates, maybe 1 hour or so drive). Seven Springs also ties into a lot of the Laurel Highlands trails, so you can do non-downhill there. You can also try to find the "Month of Mud" trail at Seven Springs which you could do loops on.
Sorry to semi-hijack the thread, but where's the trail head for that Crater Trail? (specifically, that is. I know it's in Frick somewhere).

During the second Test match between India and Australia, the Cricket Australia will pay tribute late legendary cricketer Dean Jones. The Boxing Day Test match will be played at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), which was Jones's home ground in domestic cricket. On September 24, Jones has died of a heart attack in Mumbai. The late cricketer was in India as part of IPL's official broadcaster commentary team and was staying in a bio-secure environment in a Mumbai hotel.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, a bay of seats will be covered by a banner paying tribute to Jones throughout the Test match. There will also be a video tribute during Tea on Saturday at 3.24 p.m. recognising Jones's Test number, 324 and his highest first-class score of 324, scored against South Australia on the MCG in 1994.

He played 52 Tests and 164 ODIs during his international career between 1984 and 1992. Also Read - India vs Australia Test 2020: KL Rahul And Rishabh Pant Are Dangerous Player, Australia Captain Tim Paine Wary of Threat Ahead of Boxing Day Test

In Tests, he scored 3631 runs at 46.55 including 11 centuries and 14 half-centuries while in ODIs, he struck 6068 runs at 44.61 with seven hundreds and 46 fifties.

Earlier, Indian and Australian cricketers wore black armbands and observe a minute's silence ahead of the first ODI of the three-match series in November.

Ahead of the Pakistan Super League playoff match between Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings, the cricketers, coaches, umpires came together to pay a heartfelt tribute to the late Australia cricketer Dean Jones.

The cricketers and other match officials stood in the shape of 'D' alongside a life-size cardboard cut out of Jones with 'Forever in Our Hearts, Deano ' flashing on a giant LED screen.

Meanwhile, Australia beat India by 8-wickets in the first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as the hosts will look to continue the winning momentum. Team India will also miss Virat Kohli, who has been granted paternity leave, and Mohammed Shami who has ruled out of the Test series after sustaining an injury in opening Test.


This paper details the basic principles and instrumental systems as well as applications of hyperspectral imaging system in the biomedical field. The development of an HSI system that combines recent advances in several photonic technologies, including an AOTF, a 2-D CCD detector, and imaging fiber optics. The integration of these technologies leads to a versatile and powerful imaging system that can rapidly record spectral images of samples. This imaging system could find useful applications in medical diagnostics applications where rapid in vivo detection of complex samples is required. The HSI technique has the potential for in site optical diagnosis on tissue and it can be use for guidance of surgical intervention and treatment. The optical diagnostic approaches may either be an imaging modality or a spectroscopic modality. The spectroscopic diagnostics may also provide real-time assessment of tissue response to therapy.

In 2015/16 nationally 26% of female offenders reported having experienced some form of domestic abuse at some point in their adult life, compared with 14% of men. Women were also twice as likely to have experienced non-sexual partner abuse, family abuse and stalking. Women were considerably more likely to have experienced sexual assault or an attempted sexual assault as men, with 20% of women saying they had experienced this since ages 16 compared with only 1 in 25 men (4%)24.
Unresolved trauma and chaotic lifestyles can keep female offenders in the revolving door of offending. Many are suffering from complex issues involving mental health, substance misuse and sexual exploitation. Most women in contact with criminal justice are still subject to generic systems & practices evolved in response to men’s offending. Tackling the root cause of female offending requires gender specific approaches. The Hampton Trust has developed a trauma informed, group work programme designed to engage women and tackle vulnerabilities unique to female offending.
We are working in partnership with Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner and Hampshire Constabulary to pilot an intervention for females as part of a conditional caution. WaDE (Women & Desistance Empowerment programme) will include two workshops designed to assist female offenders to live safe, offence-free lives, promoting desistance and managing the effects of previous trauma including historic domestic/sexual abuse. It also promotes opportunities for women to exit sex work.
Post arrest an eligibility criterion will triage women to WaDE, providing opportunities for diversion to tailored women’s services. This will include previous offending history, admittance of offence, views of the victim and whether WaDE has potential to adequately address, support and reduce risk of offending. Two workshops co-facilitated by The Hampton Trust practitioners will meet the complex needs of female offenders. Content includes: offending behaviour, impact of offending behaviour, trigger behaviours, attitudes/thinking, historic abuse & exploitation, vulnerability/protective factors, self-esteem, health & wellbeing and goal setting.
This pilot is currently taking place in Portsmouth. During the next twelve months we will share case studies on the website.

PIVOTAL TECHNOLOGIES RECEIVES MAJOR CUSTOMER WIN FROM TEXAS INSTRUMENTS
Pivotal's SOC subsystems will enable TI to deliver products to market faster
PASADENA, Calif., March 6, 2000-Pivotal Technologies Corp., a leading provider of analog and mixed-signal subsystems for System-on-Chip (SOC) applications, today announced it has received a major customer win from Texas Instruments (TI). TI is utilizing Pivotal's 0.18u Fulcrum[tm] analog and mixed-signal on-chip component products, including the 10-bit, 30 MHz pipelined and calibrated Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC); a 12-bit, 180 MHz Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC); and high-speed CMOS Phase Locked Loop (PLL).
K.C. Murphy, president and CEO of Pivotal Technologies, stated, "We are very proud to support TI in the development of one of their leading edge SOC designs. TI's use of our subsystems highlights our strategic positioning in the marketplace. The ability to purchase the complex, time-consuming elements of the design directly from Pivotal means that TI will be able to deliver its product within critical market windows."
"Providing portions of the design as an SOC subsystem becomes a differentiating factor in this equation," continued Murphy. These blocks are complete, hard IP blocks that once proven in silicon, look more like reusable products that can be assembled on silicon substrate, much the same way packaged products are assembled on PCBs (printed circuit boards)."
"The semiconductor market is influenced by a strong economic reality--those companies that get their products out first, gain competitive market share," said Sandeep Kumar, business manager, Texas Instruments. "The ability to incorporate Pivotal's SOC sub-systems directly into chip solutions can provide us with a time-to-market advantage."
About Pivotal Technologies
Pivotal Technologies Corp. (www.pivotaltech.com), founded in 1997, is a leading provider of communications and multimedia subsystems for the System-On-A-Chip (SOC) market. One of the first companies to address the need for integrated mixed-signal/RF/DSP blocks in deep submicron technologies, Pivotal has proven to be instrumental in helping semiconductor companies, systems manufacturers and fabless companies meet the technical and cost requirements of their markets. The company leverages proprietary architectures, embedded test methodologies and worldwide manufacturing partnerships to develop and prove mixed signal components and complete physical interfaces for applications such as Ethernet, cable modem, and video graphics and display.

NEW YORK, August 10, 7:07 /ITAR-TASS/. The U.S. Air Force has delivered four new air strikes against the Islamic State militants in Iraq, the United States Air Force Central Command said on Saturday.
The U.S. military used drones and combat planes to destroy several armored personnel carriers and a truck, which, they claimed, the insurgents used for attacking peaceful civilians. In view of the critical situation in Iraq, U.S. President Barrack Obama on Thursday authorized the delivery of surgical strikes against the positions of the Islamic State militants in case there was a threat to American diplomats and military.


Manchester United v Crystal Palace
United in ominous form this season
Manchester United are in relentless form and keeping pace with joint leaders Man City in the early stages of this season. Jose Mourinho's side are unbeaten and their only dropped points came in a 2-2 draw at Stoke City. United come into this weekend's game off the back of five successive wins in all competitions. The latest victory came on Wednesday in a convincing 4-1 win at CSKA Moscow in the Champions League.
The signing of Romelu Lukaku has made a huge impact already with the former Everton striker scoring ten goals in nine games for United. Two of those came in Russia and the Belgium international has netted in his last five appearances for the club. But their defensive strength, backed up by outstanding goalkeeper David de Gea, has also been a significant part of their recent success with six clean sheets already during this campaign.
Hodgson needs miracle to get Palace out of trouble
It has been a disastrous start to the season for Crystal Palace with the Eagles already onto their second boss after the dismissal of Frank de Boer. His replacement, Roy Hodgson, has a huge task on his hands to guide the team to safety after Palace's run of six successive league defeats. The team are also without a goal in the competition and there have been no signs of optimism in the camp.
Hodgson's first league game was a 1-0 defeat at home to Southampton and Palace were hammered 5-0 at Man City last weekend despite keeping the scoreline level until the 44th minute. The loss of Christian Benteke only adds to their problems with the striker facing six weeks out due to a knee injury. The return of attacker Wilfried Zaha cannot come soon enough, although he will not be back until after the international break following this weekend's trip to Old Trafford.
Impossible to make a case for visitors
This looks a complete mismatch and it is no surprise to see United 1.182/11 favourites for victory. No-one can complain about this price which looks more than fair with United winning ten consecutive top-flight games at home to Palace. Everything points to a home win but obviously their odds are only worth adding to an accumulator so we will have to look elsewhere to back Mourinho's men.
If you like long shots, then look no further than Palace. But there is no logical explanation to justify backing them even at odds of 23.022/1. The visitors have never beaten United in 16 previous Premier League clashes and could not be coming in to this with worse form. The Eagles have offered no signs of promise and it is hard enough seeing them score a first goal let alone pulling off a monumental upset.
Pointless Palace would gladly take a draw but there is absolutely no temptation to back this outcome at 8.415/2. It is almost impossible to make a case for a stalemate with the quality of United bound to prove too much for the visitors. Only one of their last ten clashes has ended in a draw and this came at Selhurst Park. A home win is the only plausible result this weekend, but to find any semblance of value alternative markets must be targeted.
Expect United to take control in the second half
Palace's resistance only lasted one half before being blown away by City and it may be a similar story this weekend. United's second-half form this season is excellent with the side winning each home league game after the break by at least two goals. Eight of United's 17 league goals have arrived in the final ten minutes of matches so there is every chance of more late goals against Palace. It looks well worth backing the hosts to cover a one-goal handicap in the second half at appealing odds of 6/4 (Betfair Sportsbook).
The Eagles are the only team in Europe's 'big five' leagues yet to score a goal in league competition this season. Palace are as short as 11/8 (Betfair Sportsbook) to end this run by finding the net at Old Trafford this weekend.
Mike Dean has taken charge of four games this season sending off Raheem Sterling controversially after his goal celebration at the end of Man City's win at Bournemouth. Dean handed out five red cards in 36 games during the last campaign.
Back Manchester United -1 to win second half handicap @ 6/4 (Sportsbook)

Diagnostic potential of YKL-40 in bladder cancer
YKL-40 is a glycoprotein, which is thought to play a role in inflammatory conditions and tissue remodeling. Although it has been investigated in numerous cancers, there is very limited knowledge about the role of YKL-40 in bladder cancer. In this study, our aim was to determine the levels of YKL-40 in the sera and urines of the patients with bladder cancer, and compare it to urinary bladder tumor antigen (BTA), a tumor marker that can be used in the diagnosis of bladder cancer.
The study was comprised of 2 major groups as 65 healthy controls and 67 patients with bladder cancer. The patient group was also divided into subgroups according to tumor stage and grade. Serum and urine YKL-40 levels and urine BTA levels in controls and patients were determined using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.
Serum YKL-40 and urinary BTA levels were significantly elevated in patients and all patient subgroups compared to healthy controls. Urine YKL-40 levels, on the other hand, were significantly elevated in all subgroups except low stage (Ta) and low grade, compared to controls. Although serum YKL-40 levels could not differentiate any subgroup from one another, urinary BTA could only differentiate low stage (Ta) from all invasive (T1-T4) cancers. However, urine YKL-40 levels were significantly elevated in all invasive subgroups (T1, T2-T4, and T1-T4), compared to low stage (Ta).
In summary, urine YKL-40 levels can be used to assist BTA in the diagnosis of bladder cancer as a marker for early invasiveness and thus help determine its treatment regimen.

For the pragmatic foreign investor barred from strategic sectors by state-imposed limitations, the best opportunities often appear through the cracks of a centrally planned economy. Watch the trends set by China’s five-year plans and it’s possible to predict many. It is a safe bet, for instance, that Internet censorship will continue to fuel alternative sources of entertainment. China is the only major economy where cinema profits grow because streaming services are inaccessible to people here, whereas elsewhere online flicks are hammering cinema revenues. Combined with President Xi’s campaign to regain Party control over universities, limited web access will also continue to fuel interest in foreign education, either abroad and through joint ventures (foreign schools cannot operate independently in China). Finally, China’s prohibition of global social media means that it’s Christmas every day for Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, China’s top search, e-commerce and social networking companies respectively.
In an old Chinese joke, tourists spot a farm where a cat is drinking milk from a valuable antique bowl. They cunningly buy the cat and ask the farmer for the dish as well. “I would never part with that,” the owner says. “It helps me sell a cat a week.” It often seems that China’s main export commodity is hope. But with the right mix of curiosity, courage and discipline, a growing number of international venturers can hope to join the minority of China investors that tangibly benefit from the opportunities presented by the single biggest thing happening in business today.

Vaisala is offering calibration services for its instruments for measuring carbon dioxide levels in food and medicine manufacturing.
Vaisala is expanding its ISO/IEC 17025 accredited carbon dioxide calibration services. In the initial phase, these will be offered for the Vaisala CARBOCAP Carbon Dioxide GMP250 Series. Later during 2018, the service will also be available for the Vaisala GMP220 Series.
The new accredited calibration service addresses the quality system requirements of demanding safety and manufacturing processes, especially in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Accurate carbon dioxide measurement helps maintain correct pH-levels in cell cultivation and optimal indoor or process air. Incorrect readings may lead to costly and incorrect decisions or even danger to life in the most critical applications.
“Instrument calibration is important for any business using measurement data in decision-making. Even the best high-performance measurement instruments require regular calibration to ensure they continue to provide the most accurate data possible. The accredited calibration is very important especially to organisations working in the life sciences of Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) regulated industries”, says Juha Ryödi, Head of Vaisala’s Life Cycle Services. “With this service expansion, organisations working in these strictly regulated industries or medical laboratories using the ISO 15189 requirements for quality and competence now have the optimal calibration system for their high quality Vaisala instruments. The usage of the manufacturer’s ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration service will assure the critical requirements for continuous accuracy set by the regulations.”
Vaisala’s accredited CO2 calibration service covers all the requirements set by the regulatory bodies, helping to ensure compliance and process quality. Finnish Accreditation Service (FINAS), a member of International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), audits Vaisala calibration services regularly by assessing the quality and management systems and the technical capabilities to perform the service, like measurement traceability to the international SI-units.
The accredited calibration provides a certificate with as-found and as-left results, which when needed includes a calibration curve adjustment to deliver the best accuracy. The Vaisala accredited calibration service comes standard with three calibration points to ensure the full functionality of the instrument over the sensor’s stated measurement range. Additionally, up to six customer specified calibration points can be added to cover operationally critical conditions.

N.B. post-secondary fees jump
New Brunswick's post-secondary students will be digging deeper into their wallets to pay for their education, Finance Minister Blaine Higgs announced on Tuesday.
Tuition fees are set to go up at universities and colleges across the province and the provincial government is retooling how it distributes student aid.
Higgs announced an annual $200 tuition increase for all post-secondary students during his budget speech Tuesday.
A tuition freeze was put in place under Shawn Graham's former Liberal government.
"Tuition fees have not increased over the past three years at universities and the past five years at colleges," Higgs said.
"As such, our government will be capping modest increases at $200 per full-time college and university student."
Higgs also said his government would reinstate the parental contribution for student financial assistance, meaning students' eligibility for loans will hinge, in part, on what their parents make.
The parental contribution was eliminated under the previous government. Higgs said reinstating it will save the province $1.6 million.
Schools reforms pitched
While the education budget remains steady overall, Higgs hinted at other possibilities for change, including school amalgamations and shared-service programs.
"Many of our 321 schools are filled to less than 60 per cent their capacity," he said.
"We must develop long-term strategies to make certain we have the right number of education facilities located in the right places Moreover, we must determine if there are simpler ways to administer support to our schools."
The finance minister did not indicate which schools, if any, the provincial government would consider closing, nor how administration may changes.

The world is drawing towards its end; like the Ruler’s son, it begins to die. Tormented by the fever of the passions, which have been excited in Capharnaum, the city of business and pleasure — it is too weak to go itself to the Physician who could cure it.
It is for its father, for the pastors, who, by baptism, gave it the life of grace, and govern the christian people as rulers of the holy Church — it is for them to go to Jesus and beseech him to restore the sick man to health.
St. John begins this account by mentioning the place where they were to find Jesus: it was at Cana, the city of the marriage feast, and where he first manifested his power in the banquet hall; it is in heaven that the Man-God abides, now that he has quitted our earth, where he has left his disciples deprived of the Bridegroom, and having to pass a certain period of time in the field of penance.
Capharnaum signifies the field of penance and of consolation, which penance brings with it. Such was this earth intended to be, when Man was driven from Eden; such was the consolation to which, during this life, the sinner was to aspire; and because of his having sought after other consolations — because of his having pretended at turning this field of penance into a new paradise — the world is now to be destroyed.
Man has exchanged the life-giving delights of Eden for the pleasures which kill the soul and ruin the body, and drawn down the divine vengeance.

Five Years Later, Baby Michael Case Remains Mystery
Posted March 1, 2004 3:44 a.m. EST
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — It has been nearly five years since the discovery of Baby Michael.
Back in March 1999, a Cumberland County resident found the newborn's body in a ditch beside a road.
Officers could not identify the infant, so they named him Michael after the patron saint of law enforcement.
The community came together to give him a burial. Investigators never found his mother.

Linux developers are already aware of the vulnerability affecting the Realtek driver (RTLWIFI) that allows attacking devices over a Wi-Fi connection, and a fix has to be incorporated into the operating system kernel in the short term. «The bug is serious. It is a vulnerability that triggers data over-the-air remotely over Wi-Fi in the Linux kernel if we are using the Realtek driver, ”said Nit Waisman, lead security engineer at GitHub. ArsTechnica.
Attacks that exploit this vulnerability to execute malicious code on a vulnerable machine have not yet been identified. Waisman says that 'in theory, this flaw is exploitable. In the worst case scenario, it will be a denial of service.
Driver failure can be exploited when an affected device is within range of radio signals from a malicious device. If Wi-Fi is on, no end-user interaction is required to trigger exploitation. Notice of Absence functionality, built into the Wi-Fi Direct standard that allows two Wi-Fi devices to connect, is one entry into this vulnerability.
If Wi-Fi is turned off, or the controller is not from Realtek, the fault cannot be exploited. While there is still no evidence of attacks, the possibility of malicious code being injected that can be done only by being within the reach of devices controlled by malicious agents requires caution.

This pacamara varietal and relationship coffee is from Jorge Rivera, owner of Santa Rosa farms. The effort he puts into his crop is evident in every single cup.
It is our seventh year of a coffee relationship with Finca Santa Rosa, owned and operated by our good friend Jorge Rivera. He and his brother Jose Roberto founded the farm in 1979, and it was a bit of a rough start. A decade long civil war broke out in El Salvador that year, and coffee prices dropped to catastrophic lows. As a result, the coffee farm was converted into a much easier to maintain pine tree plantation. But the brothers never gave up on their dream of operating a truly great specialty coffee farm. After many years and the end of the war, El Salvador hosted its first Cup of Excellence competition, and the brothers decided to finally plant the coffee they had wanted to for all these years. They also maintained many of the trees on the land to provide the necessary shade for the coffee. This makes the farm look very unique too, with the coffee blossoms interspersed between the tall pines.
The farm is also unique because it exclusively grows pacamara varietals, which were bred specifically for this farm.
The farm is located on the slopes of El Pital, one of the highest peaks in El Salvador. Explore the map to find out more.

The lowdown on installing and maintaining a tankless water heater
It is time to replace your home water heater with a new one. The hard part is done as you have decided to go with a tankless water heater system. However, what does it take to have it installed?
If you are unfamiliar with tankless water heaters, they are on demand-type water heaters. Therefore, you will never run out of hot water as it will heat the water as long as you need it.
However, there are some things you need to know regarding putting in your new tankless water heater and how to take care of it so that it provides you hot water for years to come.
How do you prepare to install your tankless water heater?
There are a few basic things you need to know to prepare for installing your new water heater.
First, you need to take out the old one and ensure that there is a gas ventilation outlet if your new tankless water heaters runs on gas and it is required that it have a vent.
If you live in a cold climate, make sure you have a damper installed so that the cold air can’t come back in.
You should make sure that there is an electrical outlet nearby that runs 120V. You will need that for plugging in your heater.
How do you install your water heater?
Once your preparation is done, it is time for the install. If you aren’t handy or need technical work done, such as a gas line, you might want to consider hiring a professional. However, if you are sure of your skills, here is how to put that water heater in.
You can put in your water heater in two distinct ways. You can either mount it flush against the wall or you can install it in the wall between studs using a stud finder.
Be sure to route water supply pipes to your heater. The water utility pipe should lead to the inlet, and the pipe leading to the house is in the outlet.
Install a shutoff valve near both inlet and outlet lines. You might also want to consider installing a pressure release valve should your unit call for it.
Finally, using union fittings, you can finally make your connections at the inlet and outlet. Once done, run the water for a few minutes to ensure hot water is delivered.
How do you maintain a tankless water heater?
Now that you have your water heater installed, you want to maintain it, so it stays in optimal condition. Here are a few maintenance tips to keep in mind.
- Use a water softener to prevent a buildup in the tank and pipes. That buildup can cause erosion, which is damaging to your tank.
- Get a flush kit to remove buildup on a regular basis. Usually, once every three months is adequate.
- Have your tankless water heater checked by a professional at least once a year. Like your furnace and central air systems, your water heater must get checked to take preventative action that you might not be aware of inside your tank.
A tankless water heater is a great choice for many households. They are cost-efficient, possibly saving you hundreds annually. Furthermore, they provide you unlimited hot water that is especially good when you have teenagers who shower endlessly and leave you no hot water for your relaxing bath at the end of a long workday.
However, when you choose to go with a tankless water heater, you want to be sure that you install it correctly, especially since it is attached to your natural gas line. If you have any doubts about your skills, you should probably consider a professional to prevent issues.
Once you have your tankless water heater installed, now it comes time to keep it running. Following a few simple maintenance tips will keep your hot water tank providing you luxurious warmth for a long time.
Taking proper care with your tankless water heater will allow you to reap the benefits of it for years to come.

At first I thought it was only my home state of Florida, which tends to be inconsistently idiotic! But the trend is spreading across the country. What will be next? Thing is, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. This book is about two consenting adults doing what they want in privacy.
Sure, we writers tend to have a pretty liberal view of censorship but after speaking to some of my non-writer friends who have read the book, I realized it's not just writers who find this ridiculous. One lady told me she didn't think the book was much racier than the old Harold Robbins books she used to read.
But what can we do about it? Speak up. I wrote my local library a letter telling them I wanted access to books like Fifty Shades. I haven't heard back yet, but it was important to me to let them know my feelings. I'm only one person but if others do the same, maybe they will listen.


LONDON—Arsenal might be the only English club that makes it through to the knockout rounds of the Champions League this season.
A day after Manchester United and Manchester City both missed the chance to qualify, Chelsea conceded a last-minute goal to lose 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday and risk missing out for the first time since Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003.
Leverkusen advanced alongside Arsenal, which beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 through two goals by Robin van Persie, while APOEL also went through in one of the biggest surprises in Champions League history.
APOEL drew 0-0 at Zenit St. Petersburg to become the first ever Cypriot side to make it past the group stage.
Elsewhere, AC Milan twice equalized but Spain playmaker Xavi Hernandez scored in the 63rd minute to give defending champion Barcelona a 3-2 win and top spot in its group. Both teams had already secured a spot in the knockout round.
Valencia routed Genk 7-0 for the biggest Champions League win ever by a Spanish side, Porto kept alive its hopes of advancing with a 2-0 win at Shakhtar Donetsk and Olympiakos won 1-0 at Marseille.
Dortmund dominated the opening exchanges against Arsenal and had the home side under pressure even after injuries to Sven Bender and Mario Goetze midway through the first half.
But Van Persie headed in Alex Song’s 49th-minute cross at the far post and tapped in with four minutes left to take his season tally to 21 goals and end Dortmund’s resistance.
Japan forward Shinji Kagawa got a goal back for the German champions deep in injury time but Arsenal clinched Group F with one of its six matches remaining.
With the Premier League having provided seven of the last 14 finalists, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he was surprised his club was the first English club through — but not that his rivals were finding things tough.
“The level has gone up a lot. You never win an easy game in the Champions League,” Wenger said. “I have 150 games in the Champions League as a manager and they are never easy.”
Arsenal has 11 points from five matches, four more than Marseille. Olympiakos is a point further back after substitute Giannis Fetfatzidis scored in France with eight minutes remaining, while Dortmund has four points and must beat Marseille on Dec. 6.
But Dortmund will be without Bender for that game after the midfielder broke his jaw in a challenge on Thomas Vermaelen. Coach Juergen Klopp said Bender needs surgery in London before he can return to Germany.
Chelsea looked on course to complete an English double over the Bundesliga — and maintain the west London club’s record of reaching the knockout round in each of its nine straight tournament appearances — when Didier Drogba put the Blues ahead in the 48th.
Instead, Leverkusen equalized in the 73rd as Sidney Sam drew out goalkeeper Petr Cech before crossing for Switzerland striker Eren Derdiyok to head into an empty net. Manuel Friedrich then scored another header in injury time to pile further pressure on Blues manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Villas-Boas, who led Porto to last season’s Europa League title, has already presided over four Premier League defeats in his first 12 domestic matches.
Leverkusen is through with eight points, while Chelsea and Valencia are tied on seven with an identical goal difference. Chelsea must now beat Valencia or hold the Spanish side to a 0-0 draw when the teams meet at Stamford Bridge for their final group game.
“We will need Stamford Bridge completely behind us to get the intensity right and the emotions right for the game,” Villas-Boas said. “It’s in our hands to qualify.”
Valencia is in superior form after Roberto Soldado’s first-half hat trick contributed to its mauling of Genk.
“This was a very important game for us. It was a final,” said Soldado, who scored in the 13th, 36th and 40th to take his tally this season to 13 goals in all competitions. “Fortunately, it was a game that gave us a lot of confidence which we will take forward.”
Jonas hit a 10th-minute opener, while goals from Pablo Hernandez, Aritz Aduriz and Tino Costa turned a win into a rout in the second half.
With APOEL goalkeeper Urko Pardo in fine form, the only things that held up APOEL’s progress on Wednesday were the flares lit by fans that twice interrupted the game in Russia by covering the field in smoke.
With Porto scoring two late goals in Ukraine, APOEL leads Group G with nine points, one ahead of Zenit. Porto is a point further back.
“I think our result can be an example for teams from non-football and small countries,” APOEL coach Ivan Jovanovic said.
The Cypriot club has an annual budget of about ($13.5 million U.S.), roughly one seventh of what Barcelona paid for Zlatan Ibrahimovic when it made the Sweden striker its record signing in 2009.
Ibrahimovic scored for Milan on Wednesday but could not stop his former club from clinching top spot in Group H.
Milan midfielder Mark van Bommel gave Barcelona the lead in the 14th minute with an own goal and, despite Ibrahimovic’s leveler, Lionel Messi’s twice-taken penalty ensured the defending champions went into the break in front.
Kevin-Prince Boateng pounced in the 54th to get Milan back into the game, but Messi slotted the ball through a throng of defenders for Xavi to seal the win.
“If this game had been more decisive than I would have focused more on defence,” Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said. “Milan is a great team with a great history. It really means something to win here.”
With Milan also through, Viktoria Plzen won 1-0 at BATE Borisov in the other Group H game.
