Porosity Testing
Test method Porosity Testing with High Voltage standards: AS 3894.1, ASTM D4787, ASTM D5162, ASTM G62, EN 14430, NACE SP0188, NACE SP0490, NACE SP0274
The test method is based on the fact that all electrically insulating coating materials have a much higher dielectric strength than air.
For testing, one sets the corresponding test voltage for the coating thickness on the POROSCOPE®. Alternatively, one can also enter a testing standard and coating thickness. The POROSCOPE® will then automatically set the corresponding test voltage. One connects the specimen with the earth cable and moves the electrode slowly over the surface to be tested. If the electrode passes a crack, a short voltage drop will occur – a sparkover. An optical and acoustic signal indicates the pore, and the pore count is increased by one step.

Site Plan Control
What is Site Plan Control?
Site Plan Control is a form of development control provided to municipalities through the Ontario Planning Act. No one can undertake any development which is subject to Site Plan Control unless the City has reviewed and approved specific plans. Once the plans are approved, a site plan agreement is generally executed. This agreement contractualy binds the owner to develop and maintain a site in accordance with the approved plans and the terms of this agreement.
Building permits are not generally issued until site plan control requirements are addressed.
What is the purpose of Site Plan Control?
The Site Plan Control process allows City Staff to review and approve the following:
- Building siting and site design;
- Building massing;
- The relationship of the proposal to surrounding land uses;
- Driveways, curbing and traffic direction signs;
- Loading and parking facilitates,
- Emergency vehicle routes;
- All pedestrian accesses, such as walkways and ramps, and their proposed surfacing;
- Landscaping for the site and for the protection of adjoining lands;
- Refuse and other waste material storage and collection areas;
- Grading and servicing;
- Need for City and Regional road widenings; and
- Exterior design of buildings, including character, scale and appearance
Site Plan Control ensures that City, Regional and other agency standards and requirements are met.
Do I Require Other Permits or Permission to Develop?
Depending on the location of the property that is intended to be developed, additional development permits and approvals may be required. Please contact City Staff to determine what additional permits and approvals may be required prior to the issuance of a Building Permit.
Application for Site Plan Control Approval and for Amendment to an Existing Site Plan Agreement are available in the Planning and Development Department, Second (2nd) Floor, Port Colborne City Hall, or by clicking on the following links:

Being an aspiring writer, I always have a soft spot for films about writers. I've always found writers to be extremely interesting characters, adding a unique element to any film. Though I love them, I don't think it is my bias talking when I say the 1937 biopic film the Life of Emile Zola was a surprisingly entertaining and fascinating film.
As the film's title suggests, this film is about the life of struggling author Emile Zola (Paul Muni). The film opens with Emile living in a rundown apartment with his friend Paul Cezanne (Vladimir Sokoloff), worried about making his rent. Emile tries to make a living writing, publishing what was considered to be scandalous material though it was steeped in truth. Refusing to sway to the masses and write something he didn't believe, Emile's reputation made him undesirable as an employee. Emile gets his big break when he meets a street prostitute named Nana (Erin O'Brien Moore) and is inspired to write a book of the same name. Selling like wildfire, Emile continues to write for years, amassing wealth and reputation with each new book. Writing to try and fix the injustice of the world, Emile has no problem calling out and pissing off organizations, states or even countries. Emile writes for years until he is comfortable. Only then does he begin to slow down.
Meanwhile the French Army is in the middle of a scandal as they believe they have found a traitor. The man accused is Alfred Dreyfus (Joseph Schildkraut) and he is sentenced to life in prison though he insists he was innocent. The military eventually realizes they have the wrong man. Dreyfus actually was innocent. Unwilling to look bad in the public eye, Colonel Piquart (Henry O'Neill) decides to cover-up the mistake and keep Dreyfus in jail. After years of being wrongfully incarcerated, Dreyfus' wife Lucie Dreyfus (Gale Sondergaard) realizes her husband is truly innocent and desperately tries to get him free. Lucie enlists the help of Zola, who is now retired. Realizing that he has gotten complacent in his old age, Zola decides to once again try and make a difference in the world with his words and writing. As he begins to speak out against the military, his country, which previously supported his radical ideas, turns on him, labeling him as bad a traitor as Dreyfus. Refusing to back down until justice is upheld, Zola fights for Dreyfus' freedom.
My favorite aspect of this film was the main character, Emile Zola. I found him to be a very interesting character. A man who started out poor and wanting, unwilling to sacrifice his principals for money or success, as his fame grew, Zola did not allow it to change him. He continued to advocate for truth and justice through his books. Even when he grew old, though he got a little complacent, Zola stayed true to himself and his nature, rising to the occasion that was presented to him. I found Zola to be a truly genius character.
The Life Of Emile Zola was another film that I thought I was going to hate and ended up really liking. I thought the film was a little bit long. Some of the scenes could have been tightened up a little bit. I thought Zola was a tremendous character and would assume that this, considering the film's material, was a somewhat controversial film when it was released. Though it had the content to be controversial, the film beat out a long list of contenders to win the 1937 Oscar Best Picture including The Awful Truth, In Old Chicago, Stage Door, Captains Courageous, Lost Horizon, A Star is Born, Dead End, the Good Earth and One Hundred Men and a Girl. The film also gave Joseph Schildkraut a win for Best Supporting Actor and also won Best Writing. I give this film a 7.5 out of 10, another film that took me pleasantly by surprise.

"Hamas rejects any one-sided change in the government without the agreement of all parties. No one told us anything about any decision to change and no one consulted with us about any change in the unity government. Fatah acted on its own in all regards," said Sami Abu Zuhri, Hamas' spokesman, according to Ma'an News Agency.
Fatah's representatives claimed that despite the decision being ultimately endorsed during the PLO Revolutionary Council's meeting on Tuesday evening, it has been extensively debated with all government members in the past months.
However, speculation emerged that Abbas' unilateral dissolution of the joint Fatah-Hamas government could have come in reaction to leaked reports detailing Hamas' secret ceasefire negotiations with Israel, the Times of Israel reported.
Hamas' political bureau confirmed that an indirect communication exchange with Israeli authorities relating to a potential long-term extendable ceasefire took place. Nonetheless, its spokesman flatly denied having reached any form of tangible agreement.
PLO officials refute the speculative claims that Hamas' negotiations informed the cabinet's decision to resign. According to the Wall Street Journal's report, the unity government collapsed over the lack of progress in reconciliation efforts and continuous disagreement over the reconstruction activities in Gaza.
"This is becoming the umbrella for our failure. We had a golden opportunity to set a paradigm as a state and we failed," Munther Dajani, a political-science professor at Al-Quds University told the Journal.
The Palestinian unity government was sworn in on June 2, 2014 following the signing of Hamas-Fatah reconciliation agreement in April. The pact was intended to end a seven-year long schism between the two major Palestinian players and mark off a period of political rapprochement.
Yet, the Israeli fifty-day offensive in Gaza last summer and Abbas' hesitant condemnation of Israeli raids in the West Bank, sparked disputes in the newly formed government and slowed the reconciliatory process.
"There are obvious difficulties upon which the government resigned. So there should be a new government to increase its role especially in Gaza Strip," commented Wasel Abu Yusef, member of the PLO Executive Committee, on the situation, Ma'an News Agency reports.
The PLO Executive Committee together with the former cabinet headed by Rami Hamdallah is now deliberating whether or not to include Hamas and factions operating in the Gaza Strip as full members of the new government.
Abbas is against appointing Hamas' representatives into high-ranking government positions and making them equal political partners as this could result in the U.S. suspending their funding for the PA's activities in the West Bank.
However, as Dr. Mustafa Barghouti said, "Many, many Palestinian parties and the opinion of the silent majority of the Palestinian people, and some members in Fatah" would support including Hamas in a new government.
This April, Hamas and its affiliated youth organisations secured a landslide victory in student council's elections at universities across the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In the absence of a feasible parliamentary alternative, the student council's elections have become an important indicator of Palestinian political ambiance.
Potential failure to incorporate Hamas' officials into the new cabinet could therefore void the future government of its legitimacy and popular support. According to Dr. Barghouti, it would also aid Israeli efforts to separate the West Bank from Gaza and consequently open the door to its full annexation.

Great maps communicate something about the era in which they are published. This US map, first published in National Geographic in December of 1940, is a cartographic gem. This map included two insets that tell much about the time it was published. One inset shows the population shift between 1930 and 1940, following the devastation of the droughts of the 1930s. Another inset shows the Army Service Command Areas and Naval Districts as the US prepared to enter WWII. Any map collector will delight in the balance between features and extraordinary detail.

This may be the wrong forum for this. Where can I put this with all the other guesses about the next generation?
I was playing around (with a spreadsheet I have here) and I think I found an ideal spread of 3 configurations close to the current. I think I heard rumors of battery size options a while back, that's what got me thinking about this.
S (or S battery level 1)
$28k, 28kwh, 100miles (125hp)..."100 miles*, same price as before, more power!"
*for real this time
SV (or S battery level 2)
$34k, 36kwh, 125miles (162hp)
SL (or S battery level 3)
$40k, 44kwh, 150miles (200hp)..."150 miles! 200 horsepower!"
I think this is a perfect spread. There's the marketing angle of 100 to 150miles and 125 to 200hp. There's the chassis angle: 28kwh is only 36% smaller than 44kwh, so wasted space in the battery bay isn't too bad. There's charging: Chademo goes up to 49kw, which is close to the max power a 44kwh battery can pull, typically based on the max charging rates (charging power over energy) of most packs used today.
Notice also that this would be a 150 mile car. Although it would be a high price point, it would be in (wishfully) 2015, at least a year before Model E, and the smallest range option would be at the current price point. While being slightly higher range. Slightly higher, but at the milestone 100 mile number*.

Hubli (Karnataka): The BJP ministry in Karnataka was in serious trouble late Saturday as one minister loyal to the party's former leader B. S. Yeddyurappa said he had quit the cabinet and a few other ministers said they were ready to do so.
Infrastructure Development minister Sunil Valyapure told reporters in this north Karnataka town that he has faxed his resignation to chief minister Jagadish Shettar as he wants to attend a rally Sunday at which Yeddyurappa will formally launch his regional party. Hubli is about 370km from Bangalore.
Agriculture minister Umesh Katti said in Davangere in central Karnataka, about 270km from Bangalore, that he and other ministers supporting Yeddyurappa will meet Shettar Monday to protest Saturday's disciplinary action against two other followers of the former BJP chief minister.
He said ministers backing Yeddyurappa were ready to quit if the party continued with such steps.
Valyapure's announcement about his resignation and Katti's threat came hours after BJP sacked cooperation minister B. J. Puttaswamy from the Shettar cabinet and suspended Lok Sabha member G. S. Basavaraj from the party for openly working for Yeddyurappa's new regional outfit – Karnataka Janata Party (KJP).
Valyapure said he will attend the Sunday rally at Haveri, about 350km north of Bangalore, at which Yeddyurappa will take over as KJP president.
Katti and two other ministers, C. M Udasi, public works, and M. P. Renukacharya, excise, however, gave no indication whether they will attend Sunday's rally at Haveri.
Udasi, who hails from Haveri, said in Davangere that Yeddyurappa has asked ministers and BJP legislators supporting him not to attend the rally.
"Yeddyurappa has said that this government is formed by us and it should complete the term (assembly's term expires May next). Hence the question whether I will attend (the Haveri rally) or not does not arise," he told reporters.
Renukacharya also said that he has no invitation to attend the Haveri rally and he intended to stay on in the Shettar ministry till it completes the term.

Legoland Florida announced details of its planned waterpark Tuesday, saying the park will include an build-your-own raft ride and an interactive water playground.
The park is set to open "in time for summer 2012." It will include a number of attractions currently featured at the Legoland water park in California, including a Build-A-Raft lazy river, Twin Chasers tube ride, and the Duplo Splash Safari for toddlers.
"True to our mission, the water park attraction has been designed for families with children ages 2 to 12 and will add hours of water play to an already full day and move Legoland Florida into a multi-day experience for vacationers," said Adrian Jones, Legoland Florida's general manager.
Legoland first announced plans for the water park during its grand opening in October.
Admission to the water park will be a $12 upgrade to the normal price of a park ticket. Children under 3 years old will be an additional $3. Access to the water park will be included with the new Legoland Premium annual pass.
Guests who want to spend a second day at Legoland pay $15 for park admission, plus $12 if they want to add on the water park attraction, said park spokeswoman Jackie Wallace.
Legoland described key areas of the water park as follows:
"LEGO Wave Pool – Families can catch a gentle wave or simply cool off in this perfectly sized wave pool where the waves are just big enough for all ages to enjoy
Twin Chasers – Friends ride tubes 375 feet down an intertwining pair of enclosed water slides before plunging into a refreshing pool below
Splash Out – The thrill seekers of the family can ascend to the tallest point of the water park attraction and choose from one of three unique slides, then speed down a 60-foot drop and "splash out" into the water below
Joker Soaker - A fun, interactive playground with various lengths, heights and types of slides that offer something different for every member of the family. Guests can wade in the surrounding pool and be surprised with a torrential spill from a 300-gallon bucket
Build-A-Raft River - Families can imagine, design and build a unique LEGO vessel and set afloat on a maiden voyage around the 1000-foot-long lazy river, set amongst playful LEGO Friends, flowering vegetation and palm trees
DUPLO Splash Safari – Toddlers will rule at this water play area with shorter slides and interactive, larger-than-life DUPLO creatures"

Yule is the Pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice. Since Samhain, the nights are getting longer and the days are hence shorter since the death of The God. The pinnacle of darkness happens at the Winter solstice, normally around Dec 21, For Pagans, this is a happy time, the God is reborn on this night to the Goddess and it signals the return of light back to the land.
The Celebrations for the Winter Solstice have been going on since the beginning of written history. Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Christian have all celebrated this time of the year. Today's modern celebrations are heavily infused with the symbols and reasons of the ancient Pagan traditions, that to explain them all, would and will have its own post on my blog, see my last post..
The Winter Solstice is also celebrated in many different countries in varied ways. Argentina, Australia, China, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Greece, India, Iraq, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Romania, Scotland, Sweden, Syria, and Venezuela. Yule is the one time a year that the whole world comes together in celebration in many different religions and culture, for no one owns the celebration, it is a worldwide event.
The earliest recorded Yule celebration is from 840 A.D. in the Ynglinga saga, a recording of the Christianization of northern Europe, most notably Norway. The celebrations and toasts are for the Norse/Viking God Odin, then to Njoror and also Freyr. The Yule Log as it is known today is also from Northern Europe, and is intended to bring prosperity and protection from evil into the home it was in. Our Yule Log is typically the main trunk of the previous year's Christmas Tree and we burn it on this night to celebrate the gradual return of the light into Spring time.
For Wiccans we celebrate the birth of the God in rituals, spells, and feasting. There are public or Open Circles for those who wish to celebrate Yule with others or for people new to Paganism and wish to see what a ritual is. Since we are Sols, we don't have open circles, ours is a home based practice. Foods associated with Yule and should be included in some way to your Yule meals are: Nuts, Fruits, such as Apples and Pears, cakes soaked in cider and Pork are traditional for the meal. Drinks would include: Cider, Apple cider is a personal favorite, Wassil, lambswool, hibiscus, or ginger tea.
May Everyone have a wonderful Winter Solstice, no matter how or when you celebrate it. 🙂
Take Care and Blessed Be to All,

Cops: New Haven man cut haircut short to use scissors in stabbing
STAMFORD -- A 21-year-old man sitting down for a haircut allegedly grabbed scissors and slashed another in the back Tuesday in the South End, police said.
David Davis, of Cedar Hill Avenue, New Haven, was arrested shortly after the incident when Stamford patrol officers and a police dog found him in a nearby Henry Street apartment. Officers took him into custody when they initially found he was wanted on a warrant for failing to appear in court and later charged him in the stabbing after an investigation, Stamford Police Capt. Richard Conklin said.
The victim, identified as a 21-year-old Stamford man, was taken to Stamford Hospital to receive treatment for his wound. Davis is being held on $5,000 bond and is due in court March 22.
In a statement, police said Davis was getting a haircut at 126 Henry St. when the victim approached in what Davis called an "aggressive manner," so he picked up scissors to protect himself. Davis slashed the man in the back, police said.
Stamford Police Lt. James Matheny said the victim was wearing a heavy coat when he was stabbed so it was difficult to say whether the wounds were serious. He said there was a considerable amount of blood on the man's clothing.
Shortly after the stabbing, yellow police tape cordoned off the sidewalk of 124 and 126 Henry Street as residents remained on the sidewalk. Some yelled at police officers, saying officers searched their homes without a warrant.
Police officials at the scene said the door of 124 Henry St. had been open when they spotted Davis. Authorities also received an anonymous phone call that the stabbing suspect was in the home, police said.
Staff writer Jeff Morganteen can be reached at email@example.com or 203-964-2215.

[B][U]DC Deckbuilding: Green Lantern[/U][/B]
This variant is mostly about theme, centering around the Green Lantern-verse characters with frequent allies and featured cameos from [I]Blackest Night[/I] into [I]Brightest Day[/I] (so many cards are centered on that story).
Seeing as how Rebirth is going to include Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz, I'm assuming there'll be compatible main deck cards to add/swap when that set drops in addition to those oversized hero cards.

Friday the boys and I spent most of the day at Rose's house playing with the kitties. Stella came over also to join in on the fun. The boys had a blast running around and playing with Rose and the cats. Our reason for going over was to visit and pick up a laptop that Rose was nice enough to let the boys have. We will use the laptop for computer games for the boys. All of Ryder's therapists comment on how visual he is so we are thinking computer games will be really good for him! That morning I was not the best mom in the world because for breakfast I let the boys talk me into giving them popcorn!
This morning we went to the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium for the World of Pets Expo. I had been watching the weather for the past few days which was saying we were supposed to get some snow this weekend. Yesterday the weather forecast changed a bit and said we would miss the snow and if anything just get a dusting. So we decided to still go to the Expo since it is only about 30 minutes away from our house.
The boys had so much fun and were so well behaved! They loved looking at all of the animals such as these...
They also had fun watching the dogs doing agility...
They also had fun watching the dogs doing agility...
We also got to see a bunch of cats because there was a cat show at the Expo. I always like going to cat shows and seeing what people are showing right now. I did find myself being very critical of the Maine Coons I saw at the show though. I have a very big opinion about what I feel a Maine Coon should look like and there was one at the show that was far from my vision! I kept my mouth shut around the "cat people", but I made sure to immediately call Rose. The boys also enjoyed seeing the horses, goats, sheep, rabbits, snakes (Ben was not find of this part), birds, ferrets, and TONS of dogs! Zak was so good about giving the dogs his hand to smell before petting. Every dog we walked by Zak would stop and put his hand out for the dog to smell/lick, but he would get upset if the dog ignored him.
We were inside for about 3 hours and had a big shock when we went to walk to the car. It had started to snow while we were inside and there was about 3 inches already! The boys thought it was fun walking through the snow to get to the car even though I did not. It took us over an hour to get home! The roads were not very good and there were cars pulled over all over the roads. As we got to our community there was a car stopped in the middle of the road which caused everybody else to stop and then drive around this car. Our car did not appreciate this stopping and began to act up the rest of the drive home. For a bit Ben had to hold the wheel at 90 degrees just to drive straight! Did I mention I HATE SNOW!!
Robin LOVES snow
VZ sat on the table and watched the snow falling
Ben measured and we have about 6 inchesI am just hoping when I wake up in the morning all of this nasty snow is gone. Tomorrow we are going to have dinner with Rich & Laura so we can drop Zak off for his sleepover. On Monday Ryder and I will once again be spending the day at Hopkins for his appointments with the audiologist, kidney ultrasound, and opthamologist.

Buick Encore Shortage Caused by Unforeseen Demand
Sales of the Buick Encore compact CUV are "triple or quadruple" what the automaker initially expected, Buick spokesman Nick Richards tells Automotive News. The demand has exceeded GM's projections, which has led to a shortage of the Korea-assembled small crossover.
The Buick Encore sold 12,252 units in the first six months since its arrival in January. That number exceeds that of the Buick Verano's first six months on the market, and the Encore's pace far exceeds analysts AutoPacific's and IHS Automotive's annual estimates of 13,600 units and 18,500 units, respectively. Through July, Encore sales reached 15,428 units and Buick says that July sales were the best yet for the crossover.
GM has acknowledged it underestimated U.S. demand for the Encore, and that the shortages are primarily due to that miscalculation. Production has been boosted, but capacity is limited because the Encore shares the assembly line with its platform-mate Opel Mokka, which is itself a hot seller in Europe.
"We're kind of creating this segment," Richards told Automotive News. "We're learning as we go."
That segment is about to grow, as the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and rumored Mercedes-based Infiniti QX30 will soon join the entry-level premium small crossover party, though it's unclear how expensive those vehicles will be. For now, though, Buick can enjoy being one of the few brands to offer a genuinely subcompact CUV.

Mo. disasters cost $36M; far less than expected
Confronted by a spate of natural disasters, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon cut funding for education and stockpiled tax revenues two years ago while committing $150 million to respond to the deadly Joplin tornado and widespread flooding.
As it turns out, most of that money never was spent - nor needed - for disaster aid.
Missouri's final tab from a disastrous 2011 totaled a little over $36 million, according to figures compiled for The Associated Press by the state's budget chief. That's merely a quarter of the amount Nixon had committed.
The rest of the money - about $114 million - went to other government purposes, though exactly what it was used for is not clear.
"It would have gone into the big budget picture," said Linda Luebbering, the director of Nixon's Division of Budget and Planning.
There was no dollar-for-dollar accounting of the leftover disaster money. The cuts to colleges never specifically were restored. The money simply got absorbed into the pool of general revenues spent on government operations and services during 2012 and 2013, Luebbering said.
That revelation provided an "I-told-you-so" moment for some lawmakers.
"To me, it was an overreach on his part - nothing illegal or unethical about it - (but) we thought at the time that the numbers were too high, and it turned out that they are," said House Budget Committee Chairman Rick Stream, a Republican from the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood.
A Nixon spokesman declined to comment, but Luebbering said even with the benefit of hindsight, the administration would not have done anything differently. She said the state's costs were lower than expected, in part, because insurers and the federal government paid more than initially anticipated.
But Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Kurt Schaefer said Nixon's $150 million set-aside was "absurd" and a prime example of the Democratic governor's "budget manipulation practices" that have allowed him to redirect money as he wishes.
"There simply was no objective evidence that there was any reasonable basis to withhold that money," said Schaefer, a Republican from Columbia, the home of the University of Missouri.
The governor was quick to act when disasters struck. In May 2011, he pledged $25 million to help recover from flooding in southern Missouri. Later that month, a tornado killed 161 people and injured hundreds of others in Joplin. Nixon raised his disaster-aid pledge to $50 million while cutting a roughly equal amount of general revenues from education and other state services out of the upcoming budget.
When that new budget began on July 1, 2011, Nixon again raised the state's disaster-aid commitment to $150 million while citing growth in state revenues. At the time, cleanup was ongoing in Joplin and the federal government had declared another disaster because of flooding on the Missouri River.
"At that time, we were just trying to be conservative and make sure that we were prepared to cover it," Luebbering said. "We didn't scientifically come up with the number."
For the Joplin tornado alone, insurers reported losses of over $2 billion, according to the state insurance department, which quit collecting data on the nearly 20,000 insurance claims last October. That's at the upper end of the $1.5 billion to $2 billion of claims that the state insurance department had predicted in July 2011.
The federal government's share of the costs from the 2011 tornadoes and flooding stands at $250 million, compared with $36.4 million for the state and $27.6 million for local entities, according to figures from Nixon's budget office.
Of the state's share, just $7.6 million has been paid so far.
Since the disasters, Missouri's finances have improved. The state began a new budget this month with a surplus. Yet the public colleges and universities that lost money in 2011 because of the anticipated disaster costs never specifically had that money restored.
After Nixon's disaster-related budget shuffling in 2011, lawmakers changed the way they write the budget to reduce the governor's flexibility to increase spending or shift money among certain programs.
Stream said he hopes state officials have learned an important budgeting lesson. When disasters strike, officials should realize that the bills won't come in immediately and should place any set-aside money in a special account that can be tracked and budgeted as needed, he said.
"Then it can be used for purposes the Legislature wants to use it for, not the governor's desires or whims," he said.

Latest Cold and Flu News
MONDAY, Dec. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Only one in five college students at eight North Carolina universities reported getting a flu shot during the 2009-2010 flu season, according to a new study.
The findings show the need for colleges and universities to develop new strategies to vaccinate students, such as giving flu shots at sporting events or during campus-wide, day-long campaigns, the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers said.
Their Internet survey of more than 4,000 college students in late October and November 2009 revealed that rates of seasonal flu vaccination ranged from 14 percent to 30 percent at the eight universities. That's far below the U.S. government's 2020 Healthy People goal of 80 percent coverage for healthy people ages 18 to 64.
Students were more likely to say that they'd received the seasonal flu vaccine from a private doctor or clinic, rather than from student health services, where it was available free of charge.
The study was published online in the December issue of the Journal of American College Health.
"Influenza virus is contagious and is known to circulate through college campuses, enhanced by close living quarters, typical social activities and low vaccine coverage," lead author Dr. Kathy Poehling, an associate professor of pediatrics, said in a Wake Forest news release.
"With influenza virus already being detected this November, it is likely to increase in the next one to three months and may overlap with exam periods. Although it is hard to predict the severity of the coming flu season, we usually have more influenza activity after a mild season like last year's," she noted.
These and other findings show the need for colleges and universities to use multi-pronged approaches to encourage more students who live on and off campus to get the annual flu vaccine, the researchers said.
Although young people usually recover from flu, death from flu is possible. A yearly seasonal flu vaccine (either the flu shot or the nasal-spray flu vaccine) is the best protection against the flu, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When more people on a campus get flu vaccines, less flu will spread through the school community.

Car Review: 2014 Mazda6 i Grand Touring
From the time we saw the first teaser images of the 2014 Mazda6 i Grand Touring, there was no doubt that this new Mazda had some mojo! The midsize car segment is very competitive, and after a week driving the new 6, we came away with a favorable view of this car's possibilities.
The hot new Mazda6 Grand Touring proudly wears its equally skin-deep beauty on its sleeve with a sense of confidence reserved for the real deal and not for pretenders. An evolution of the TAKERI Concept, Mazda's new midsize features the brand's KODO "Soul of Motion" design language, which is inspired by the movement of animals in the wild – their ability to showcase power in its purest form combined with agile finesse. KODO's prominent personality, inside and out, easily distinguishes the Mazda6 from competitive people movers, whose personalities seem to have been relegated to match their prudish exteriors. The Mazda6 makes no excuses for its muscular manner, nor does it need to. With pronounced sheet metal strokes, the vehicle evokes a controlled intensity, seemingly moving yet standing still. Not meant to be ignored, the stunning Mazda6 presents an uncommon but welcome appeal of emotion to the midsize segment. With 19-inch alloy wheels and dual exhaust with bright outlets, the new Mazda6 has that It factor that some rivals can only dream about!
The zoom zoom statement continues into the cabin with black leather seating that can stand up to much more expensive sedans. As tested, the highly-optioned Mazda6 Grand Touring offers Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio connectivity, a 5.8-inch touchscreen display, a rearview camera, HD Radio Technology, Pandora, Sirius Satellite Radio, dual-zone climate control, an auto-dimming rear view mirror with Homelink, an 11-speaker Bose Surround Sound System, a TomTom-based navigation system with real-time traffic alerts, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support and memory settings, a four-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, those upscale leather-trimmed seats with front seat heaters and paddle shifters. Standard interior equipment for all Mazda6 models include a push-button start, a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, cloth seat upholstery, power windows with a driver's side one-touch auto open/close feature, sliding sun visor extensions, a 60/40-split fold-down rear seat, carpeted floor mats, six-way manual driver's seat adjustments with lumbar support, steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, an AM/FM/CD/MP3 six-speaker audio system, auxiliary and USB connection ports as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel, parking brake and shift knob.
There is so much room in the 2014 Mazda6 i Grand Touring that it's hard to believe at times that you're actually in a midsize sedan!

Raw photographs of Madonna posing for a recent fashion shoot have been leaked online.

The 52-year-old singer is seen looking pale and tired, with wrinkled hands and arms covered in bulging veins.

Whoa. Now THIS is a party.
Every part of my body hurts as I type this. Somehow I think I managed to pick up tuberculosis, athlete's foot and Ebola all within a few blocks. And I've never felt better.
I've never been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Full Moon Parties in Thailand, nor Carnival in Rio. But I can imagine that Amsterdam's Koninginnenacht/Koninginnedag (Queen's Night and the more officially recognized Queen's Day) is right up there.
First, the parties. The night before Queen's Day is loaded with house parties and concerts at various clubs. Things get going at about 7pm Thursday and end around 7am Friday.
Second, the canals. On Day 2 (the official holiday) you'll see hundreds of boats of all sizes, 90% of them complete with a DJ (and sound systems that would put most nightclubs to shame) and multiple beer kegs. People arise anywhere from 11am to 3pm (one friend failed to arise at all, missing the boat that he organized for some 20 people) to head out on these floating nightclubs.
Third, the streets. Each neighborhood and almost every street has a dance party happening right out on the cobblestones. It's mostly house and techno music of the oont-ss oont-ss variety, but with dozens of top DJs the sounds are smooth and the beats infectious. (One of the photos below shows a guy called DJ Dante spinning from his living room - his set was one of the best of the day). And there are pockets where more subtle music exists too (latino, jazz, etc).
Fourth, and most importantly, the people. I've never seen a happier mass of people anywhere. It's essentially a city-wide block party, and Amsterdammers and visitors alike seem to have shed any pent-up surliness that may have built up over a long winter. 700,000 visitors come to the city for the festivities each year.
It really is something to see - literally smiling faces everywhere. Mostly everyone is decked out in orange too, although some people contrasted that with their own shade of green as the day wore on.
Book your ticket and hotel room now for next year...
Not a popular boat with the ladies
The good
The beer
Trust me, the view from the front was worse. Much worse.

This shorthanded goal isn't possible without some effort by the Bruins' Brad Marchand, but what sloppy defense from the Kings.
With the Bruins on a penalty kill, Marchand takes the puck by himself into the Kings' zone, getting around Drew Doughty, the last line of defense. Doughty drops his stick in the process and screws up the breakaway, but thanks to Jeff Carter's lazy clear—and Marchand's fortunate position—the Bruin gets the rebound, maneuvers around Anze Kopitar and puts it in for a 1-0 lead.
Take a look at where the Kings are after the original shot. Three of them seem to be having a chat with goalie Jonathan Quick! Were they trying to figure out who should apply the slightest pressure to the one guy threatening to score?
Thanks to Marchand's fourth shortie of the season, most in the league, Boston won, 3-2.

In a seminar, I heard that the unitary aspect of representations was important physically, because in quantum mechanics unitarity is closely tied to the conservation of probability. Could someone explain why this is so?
After a bit of thought, one vague connection I can think of is that a matrix generated by a Hermitian matrix, $$U =e^{iH},$$ where $H$ is Hermitian is bound to be unitary . As Hermitian matrices correspond to observables, this must have some signficiance. Though, as I said, I still have the faintest idea.

(CNN) -- Forget the burned jerseys. Never mind The Letter. LeBron James won titles in Miami but his heart was in Cleveland, and he's ready to go home.
James told Sports Illustrated for an essay published Friday that he'll leave the Miami Heat for the Cleveland Cavaliers -- a sensational return to his home region that he devastated when he left via free agency in 2010.
"I always believed that I'd return to Cleveland and finish my career there," the four-time NBA MVP said in a piece he wrote with SI's Lee Jenkins. "I just didn't know when."
"I looked at other teams," the 29-year-old wrote, "but I wasn't going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy."
No terms were released, and the Cavs said no contract had been signed as of early Friday afternoon. When James will sign the contract has yet to be determined, Cavaliers Senior Vice President Tad Carper said.
Numerous reports say that the maximum salary in the first year of a contract for an 11-year NBA veteran, like James, is $20.64 million, though there are exceptions.
His move marks the end of a four-year partnership with stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami -- a run that saw James get his first two NBA titles.
But the return to the Cavaliers, which drafted James in 2003, allows the prodigal son and his native community to reconnect after a separation that shook both. The lakeside city that is long starved for a professional sports championship embraced him Friday.
How James is going to make $1 billion
Fans drove past his Cleveland-area home and honked horns after the news spread. Patrons at a restaurant gushed when a reporter asked what they thought of the move.
"LBJ's coming home! Can't wait! Championship!" a man told CNN affiliate WEWS.
"Cleveland fans are trying to figure out how to unburn their LeBron jerseys," Twitter user nic_johnston44 wrote.
Pat Riley, the Heat president who lured James away in 2010, said Friday that although he was disappointed, "no one can fault another person for wanting to return home."
"The last four years have been an incredible run for South Florida, Heat fans, our organization and for all of the players who were a part of it. LeBron is a fantastic leader, athlete, teammate and person, and we are all sorry to see him go," Riley said.
What about The Letter? "We've talked it out"
In 2010, James and marquee free agent Bosh left their teams to join Wade in Miami -- with James, looking for NBA championships, famously announcing his move in an ESPN special called "The Decision."
After reaching four straight NBA finals with Miami, James exercised his contract option this summer to become a free agent two years early.
James was a Cleveland hero, growing up some 45 miles away in Akron and starring seven years with the Cavs. But his 2010 departure -- and the way he did it, telling ESPN that he was "taking my talents to South Beach" -- rankled the people of Cleveland, with fans burning James jerseys and stomping on his likeness.
Internet responds with LeBron memes
If those fans torched the figurative bridge, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert vaporized it with a scathing letter blasting James' "cowardly betrayal" and, in a forecast that didn't quite pan out, promising that the Cavs would win an NBA title "before the self-titled former 'king' wins one."
How could James return to the team after that?
"I've met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We've talked it out," the Sports Illustrated story reads. "Everybody makes mistakes. I've made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?
He also addressed Cleveland fans' negative reaction to his Miami move.
"It was easy to say, 'OK, I don't want to deal with these people ever again.' But then you think about the other side," he wrote. "What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react?"
So he felt OK to return to Cleveland, where he feels he has unfinished business. In his first Cavs stint, he won two league MVP awards and went to the NBA finals once, but won no ring.
The interest was mutual, and the Cavaliers made their intentions known when they shipped off Jarrett Jack, Sergey Karasev, Tyler Zeller and a future first-round draft pick to clear the salary cap space necessary to sign James.
James joins a Cavaliers team that has struggled, making no playoffs and picking first three times in the NBA draft since James' departure. Those picks were two-time All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, UNLV's Anthony Bennett and University of Kansas phenom Andrew Wiggins, all currently in Cleveland's possession.
James: Miami was "almost like college"
In the SI piece, James said he'd still have left for Miami if he had to do it all over again. It could be described as the college experience that he never had.
"Miami, for me, has been almost like college for other kids," James, who went pro straight out of high school, said in Sports Illustrated. "These past four years helped raise me into who I am."
His ties to his home, he said, pulled him back.
"My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn't realize that four years ago. I do now."
Bringing trophy to Cleveland "most important"
James' Instagram account Friday had a photo, showing him in a Cavaliers jersey, said: "I'm coming home."
In the SI piece, James wrote that his "goal is still to win as many titles as possible, no question."
"But what's most important for me is bringing one trophy back to Northeast Ohio," he wrote.
"I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver," James added. "We're not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I'm realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010."
White House takes notice
The news generated intense interest as soon as it broke, around 12:30 p.m. ET Friday. Three of the top 10 trending terms on Twitter were almost instantly related to James.
It even came up in the daily press briefing at the White House. When asked, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said he didn't know if noted NBA fan President Obama had a reaction to James' move.
But Earnest added: "The fact that he has made this decision is a testament to the kinds of values that he has incorporated into his life and he says that he is interested in instilling in his children."
"I think it is a pretty powerful statement about the value of a place that you consider home," Earnest said.
Professional athletes weighed in. From Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson on Twitter: "Congrats to my man @KingJames on Cleveland! Too bad we don't have the #Sonics #NoPlaceLikeHome."
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith said on Twitter: "I'm happy Lebron is going to CLE....not that he owes anyone anything but he means more to that city than anywhere else in the world! Iconic."
CNN's Michael Pearson, Eliott C. McLaughlin, Jason Durand and Jill Martin contributed to this report.

We managed to sneak 10minutes with the band I heard someone deem 'nu-hippy' via e-mail (we were limited to 10 questions by order of the label) just before the festival and this what they had to say...
1> If Boy Hits Car was morphed into a book, what would the overview say?
Follow the path of your heart.
2> Has it been a challenge to be taken seriously on a creative level with the bland 'pop-nu-metal' tag looming?
No, if anything it is the commercial aspects of this business that have been the challenge; certain radio stations in the States haven't played us. Creatively, though, we have been taken seriously and we are continuously garnering positive responses from our album and live shows from fans and critics alike. As far as the "pop-nu-metal" tag, I've never heard that, a lot of people search for the right tag to label us with and no one is really sure what to call us. Two different fans came up with the most creative comparisons so far: one told us "if Rage Against The Machine and the The Doors fucked you guys would be the baby." Another told us "You guys sound like Ravi Shankar on crack!" I don't know how accurate either is, but they're interesting.
3> What are your influences (both musical and non-musical)?
Too many musical influences from our early days to list (check out the video interview footage on our website: boyhitscar.com where we answer this in detail). These days all of our influences come from the joys and the heartbreaks of life. We listen to our hearts and we write and play straight from the heart.
4> What affects to you hope/think/know your music has on your fans?
We hope our music brings people together and inspries them to follow their heart.
5> Is there any one moment which defines you as Boy Hits Car?
No ONE moment. However, our songs and live shows represent a multitude of moments which define who we are as a band.
6> How do you feel about mosh pits?
Mosh pits can be a great arena to release pent-up aggressions and dance and express oneself. They can sometimes look beautiful. They can also become ugly when you see meanderthal meatheads using the mosh pit to inflict harm on others in order to make them feel better about their small brains and their small dicks.
7> If there was to be a world government and you were all put in charge, what two serious things would you do and what two silly things would you do?
I don't think any of us would ever want to be in charge of any govenment. We're not about the people, we ARE the people. But I'd like to have an optional naked day annually to celebrate the human body.
8> For anyone who has not heard boy hits car how would you describe your sound?
9> Are you looking forward to reading?
Playing Reading is something we've dreamed of and imagined for years, we're quite looking forward to it.
10>Are there any bands you think our readers should check out?
Bands to check out: Fela Kuti rules. Also listen to Miles Davis, Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie, Dead Kennedy's, Fugazi, Minor Threat...to name few. Oh yeah, listen to Ravi Shandar also...
We'll hopefully do a much more indepth face to face interview with Boy Hits Car in the near future when they return to our little island. In the meantime visit boyhitscar.com.

I've had the pleasure of helping thousands upon thousands of women achieve their dream body. I'm talking about conquering the presence of unsightly cellulite and stubborn lower body fat – and replacing it with beautiful lean muscle.
Here's me at age 44…
What makes this photo remarkable is that just a few years prior I was riddled with cellulite, overweight and never exercised in my life. I know what it takes. And I know how to get you there – no matter where you're starting from.
If you're reading this and you're tired of living in a body you know could look a lot better, if you struggle to decide what clothes will best hide your "out of shapeness", if you're constantly fighting a losing battle with food, if you exercise but never see "results" and quite simply, are totally fed up with how you look – then pay close attention.
Today you have ALL the ingredients you need to get the body you deserve!
Let me explain…
You see, no one wakes up one day and magically pushes the "change my body" button and poof…shazam, the miraculous process of transformation takes place overnight.
But what does happen, is that life events come together in a way that jump-start your transformation. The "change switch" is flicked ON and the chain reaction begins. In fact, you'll find these changes fuel themselves and without "trying" – your metabolism is racing, you're firing on all cylinders and your body keeps changing right before your eyes.
The problem is, most people miss this passing window of opportunity to make dramatic change possible.
Don't be one of them!
Maybe once upon a time you were a gym addict, working out 3 times a day, doing classes and weight programs….but that was then and now you've just hit 40, you've had 3 children and suddenly you realize, the body you once had is long gone….well to be honest, you don't recognize it (fill in the uncomfortable details aka cellulite, sagging and flabbiness).
Maybe you're in pretty good shape for your age but just can't get lean! And you are not prepared to accept "good" – you want "great"! But no matter what you do, or how well you eat, you have a soft pudgy layer of body fat that won't budge.
Or maybe you are like many women I know, who has allowed that extra glass of wine at night to creep in, one has become two or even three or more. And despite working out and eating "OK", you've packed on the weight in every place imaginable, back boobs bra fat included!
I share these stories to let you know you are not alone…and to reassure you, if you really, really, really want it – you CAN have your best, ultimate, kick-butt body no matter what your age, fitness level, weight or body type and this can be the first day of your "dream come true" transformation.
As "Your Aussie Transformation Coach" I specialize in "hard cases" – I've heard thousands of stories, seen hundreds of photos and read the heart touching details of so many women's unsuccessful attempts to change their body – and shared the incredible elation of realizing, "I CAN do it…and YES…I AM doing it"! The scale is dropping, my body is changing, my clothes are looser, I look and feel like a new person – I know it and everyone else can see it!
Right now, I'm going to share with you some of the most powerful insider "behind the scenes" secrets that I've discovered are the key to dramatic, lasting, long-term change.
1. Don't Miss Your Sign Post!
My Uncle once gave me some very wise advice…"Belinda, don't get so caught up in life, that you miss the sign posts"!
In other words, as we travel along the pathway of our life, from time to time, sign posts appear – trying to point us in the right direction. It could be an opportunity to apply for a new job, an invitation to attend a unique event…or just reading a simple blog post like this…that opens the door to a whole new life changing world you never knew existed.
Think about it…I bet you can remember a few times in your life where an unexpected opportunity changed your life in ways you never could have imagined prior.
Today, if you know deep down you could look and feel a lot better (not only about your body, but your health and happiness), if you have this niggling feeling that it's time for serious change but you're not sure what the next step is, if you're increasingly uncomfortable with the status quo of your life – then LISTEN!
These are not just random thoughts or feelings; it's your intuition telling you NOW is the right time to change. Even if you've failed in the past, if you seize the moment when the signpost presents itself, you will succeed. Why? Because it's the right time, it's YOUR time.
2. Channel Your Desire
Once you've recognized your "sign post" now you need to channel your desire to change.
Life has so many distractions, pressures, responsibilities and challenges, that even the best intentions fall by the way side. Don't let this happen. Focus intently on your new path, remind yourself daily of why you want this. Don't get side tracked, distracted or discouraged. Keep your eyes on the signpost and keep putting one foot after the other in your new direction.
3. Harness Your Energy
Once you've started down your new path harness the inspiration and energy that your new beginning brings. Stop playing the victim or martyr and allowing everyone around you to dictate how you feel and what choices you make. Wake up every day and put your absolute best energy into you – your food prep, your workouts, your healthy choices.
Don't allow energy vampires to suck away your time and effort, wasting it on thoughts, activities and people that never give anything of real value back to you. Be ruthless! It's OK to put yourself first. A fitter, stronger, healthier, leaner and happier you means everyone in your life benefits.
4. Face Your Fears
At this point, I often find people's fears get the better of them. They see the sign post, they harness their energy for change but suddenly all the old doubts and fears come back..
"I'm excited but nervous and afraid of change"
"I've tried (many times) before and failed"
"I'm not worth it"
"I don't have the time, I can't afford it, I don't deserve it"……
"What if I really do achieve my goals??!"
Fear, doubt and uncertainty are completely normal. But that doesn't mean you have to allow them to dominate your thinking. When the voice of doubt and fear comes along, let the thoughts go…..let them float away, pass through your mind and drift off into the distance. Don't hang onto them, don't allow them to take hold by mulling over in your mind, feeding them with negative emotions and wasting your precious life energy.
Re-focus back on channeling your positive desire for change. Consciously choose what thoughts to focus on, past fears and uncertainties are NOT going to dictate how you feel today and what actions you are taking. You know why you want this, you know you're worth it, and you're prepared to do whatever it takes.
5. Accept Delayed Gratification
Here's the biggie.
You can't have your cake and eat it (no pun intended). Well, that's not quite true, you can still enjoy your favorite treats, but in moderation and at the right time
More to the point, you have to be prepared to delay gratifying your physical and emotional desires for the reward of the body you want in the future.
When you feel like sleeping in or eating chocolate cake or chips – you simply say "No, I am not going to let my body dictate to me, I am not going to give in to short term emotional wants – if I sacrifice this short term gratification now I will enjoy the sweet reward of my best ever body in the future". You will get the pleasure or your ultimate body and it will feel far more deeply satisfying and longer lasting than a sleep in or bar of chocolate ever will!
6. Change Your Day
If you only take one thing away today….take this. Getting the body you want is not about huge change, hard change, dramatic change – it's about making small, incremental changes consistently. Read that again!
Small. Incremental. Consistent.
Read this and let the truth of it soak deep into your soul.
Change your day, change your body, change your life….
The most stunning success stories happened through simply living "one successful day at a time".
Stop seeing the huge mountain of change before you and feeling anxious thinking "can I do it"?
Just start with one simple change for the better today. And tomorrow, you do it again. And the next day, again and before you know it a week has gone by and you haven't had those two glasses of wine at night, you're waking up feeling full of energy and actually want to work out – in fact, you're loving it! You step on the scale and to your amazement, it's moved down for the first time a long, long while – and you can actually do up your "skinny" jeans.
Guess what? You're on the fast track to the transformation you've always dreamed of!
Here's what's possible for you…..

If you've shared this little blog journey with me..then by now you'll know, the first step today is simply – don't miss the signpost! This is your signpost lol!
Click Here to Begin YOUR Transformation Today <—
Before I sign off, I want to leave this thought with you…this year I turned 54 years old. Yet I'm living in the best body of my life. It didn't happen through a magic bullet or quick fix – it just happened step by step over time as I kept coming back to these six simple transformational secrets. If they worked for me having never exercised in my life until my late 30's and living on a diet of sugar, fat and junk – then they'll work for you. Don't let life pass you by, you deserve more than "average" or "OK" – you deserve the best that life has to offer, and I'm here to help you make it happen.
Your Aussie Transformation Coach,
P.S. Questions or comments? I love hearing from you so please post below!


text: Pinch-and-swell structures form in layered, ductile rocks due to layer-parallel extension (Figure 1). Pinch-and-swell structures can only form in rocks whose deformation behaviour is non-linear and, for example, described by a power-law or exponential flow law. In rocks having a linear viscous rheology, pinch-and-swell structures cannot form. Therefore, pinch-and-swell structures provide important information of the palaeorheology, i.e. the rheology of the rock when the pinch-and-swell structure was formed. To better understand pinch-and-swell formation and to be able to better constrain rheology from observed structures we study pinch-and-swell formation with numerical simulations based on the finite element method (Figure 2).

Earlier this year, author Paula Broadwell went on a book tour to promote her biography of Gen. David H. Petraeus All In, including an appearance on The Daily Show. But now that Slate has outed Broadwell as the woman with whom Petraeus had a career-ending affair, her praise of the former CIA director is more than a little awkward.
Photos: Check out TV couples who shouldn't have done itDuring her interview with Jon Stewart, Broadwell described her unorthodox habit of interviewing the general while they ran together. "Petraeus progressively increased the pace until the talk turned to heavy breathing and we reached a six-minute-per-mile pace," Broadwell recalled. "It was a signature Petraeus move.""That was the foundation of our relationship," she went on to add.Watch the awkward interview below. Do you think the signs were there all along?

As previously reported, Honeymoon in Vegas, featuring music and lyrics by Brown (Parade, The Last Five Years, Songs for a New World) and a book by Andrew Bergman, who wrote and directed the film, will run Sept. 26-Oct. 27 at the New Jersey venue.
Gary Griffin (The Color Purple) will direct the new musical based on the 1992 film comedy. Honeymoon will have choreography by Denis Jones and musical direction by Tom Murray.
The cast will be headed by Tony nominee Rob McClure, stage and screen star Tony Danza and Brynn O'Malley. Additional casting will be announced shortly.
Here's how Paper Mill bills the new musical: "This insanely funny musical tells the tale of Jack Singer (Rob McClure), a guy with an extraordinary fear of marriage, who finally overcomes his phobia and goes to Las Vegas to wed his long-time girlfriend Betsy (Brynn O'Malley). Enter Tommy Korman (Tony Danza), a widowed and unscrupulous gambler looking for another shot at love. Tommy spots Betsy, who bears an uncanny resemblance to his late wife, and the game is afoot."

Chemistry: DD1 The Drug Discovery Process Updated
Drug discovery is a complex multidisciplinary process with chemistry as the core discipline. A small molecule New Chemical Entity (NCE) (80% of drugs marketed) has had its genesis in the mind of a chemist. A successful drug is not only biologically active (the easy bit), but is also therapeutically effective in the clinic – it has the correct pharmacokinetics, lack of toxicity, is stable and can be synthesised in bulk, selective and can be patented. Increasingly, it must act at a genetically defined sub-population of patients. Medicinal chemists therefore work at the centre of a web of disciplines – biology, pharmacology, molecular biology, toxicology, materials science, intellectual property and medicine. This fascinating interplay of disciplines is the intellectual space within which a chemist has to make the key compound that will become an effective medicine. It happens rarely, despite enormous investment in time, money and effort. What factors make a program successful? I would like to briefly outline the process, but importantly to offer some key with examples of success
