"Well, we have five games to go. Who on this team wants me to fight for them to keep their job? Who among the players and coaches really wants to be here? Who wants me to fight to keep them here?''

Mark Davis on Dennis Allen after speaking to him:

Quote:

"I wouldn't say it was heated; the most heated I got was when we first got on the plane and I told him it's not good enough,'' Davis said. "And that's what I said. I told him not long after we boarded: `It's not good enough.' I admit I was pissed off.''

Quote:

"Honestly, I was happy to see some of that passion coming out of him,'' Davis said. "Frankly, I didn't know if it was there.''

I like Mark Davis. He's about the only one bright spot of the season for me. It seems like he genuinely cares about how the team is doing. As a fan, that makes me feel good to know. As far as Dennis is concerned, if that's the first long conversation he's had with Mark, hopefully he wasn't expecting a pat on the back for the poor job he's done so far._________________

Because owners own the team and that is it.
How often do good owners speak out ?

You think owners don't meet with their GM on a regular basis to adress whatever issues have to be adressed? You think they're throwing millions into an organization and then just let people run it while they enjoy their time on the golf course? When there's a need for their voice to be heard, it is heard.

This is his first year on the job and the last month has been the first major obstacle (i lack a better word here) for this regime. So yeah, he felt the need to let fans know he's aware of the situation, that he's there to make sure things go in the right direction, basically, that he cares. When the Steelers have to deal with the likes of Santonio Holmes, you hear the owner's opinion on it. This is the same here. It's a situation where the owner's voice has to be heard. It's not like we've been hearing a lot from him in the past year. When he becomes Jerry Jones, i'll be worried._________________

The more quotes I see of Mark Davis the more worried about him I am as owner.

Have to agree with you a bit.
I hope he is not going down the Al path and will think he knows better than his GM and coaches.

When the GM the coaches make huge mistakes you have to wonder. Like Mark said this time last year the Raiders where 7-4 and now under the the new GM and Coach they are 3-8.
I would be mad as well.

Yeah, i don't know what the big deal is here. As the owner he has every right to be disappointed and to let people know about it. Apparently, he came straight to the guy he started to question and asked him to explain the issues he was going thru. Why shouldn't he do it?

Maybe don't do it on an airplane? Not letting your emotions get the better of you either would be a big help as well. Sitting down with your HC on a plane and then basically having a rant at him seems like incompetence from me._________________

If mark davis fires DA... we will have a very hard time finding a coach for a long time.

Mark Davis needs to realize who he is, his dad was one of the most controlling owners in sports and coaches stayed away from him.
AD at least earnt his role as owner, and at a time was a football genius so its understandable that he went a bit whack at the end there.

MD hasnt done anything in the world of football. if he fires the first HC of his career, coaches will know they have a 1yr trial, which no coahc wants.

An owner can call his coach or GM an idiot or whatever he wants,he is the boss after all.
But letting it be known in public is another thing entirely.
I'll ask again,when was the last time you heard a good owner going public with his dissatisfaction ?

I'm pretty sure he never called them idiots. And i really can't answer that question as i don't pay extra attention to what the owners say or not.

I understand the situation Mark Davis is in right now though. He has to take over for a football icon who has been this franchise for the last half century. And in his first year, the team is going through what might be the roughest stretch of games in its history. That's reason enough to let the fans know you're there and you recognize what has been done isn't gonna be enough. Through all he's saying, there's nothing indicating he doesn't trust the guys he put in charge. The only message is we haven't done enough and we will work all together to fix this thing. I actuallt think he's handling it pretty smartly as he portrays himself in the position of a man asking himself the same questions most of the fans do and providing the answers to the doubt they may have about the FO and the coaching staff. From a PR stand point, it's pretty good._________________

S&B88 is kinda right there. Also, I do recall bp being high on Pryor when we took him in the supplemental draft and now after not throwing a pass for a year and a half and a couple preseason games he's done a 180. Usually its the siding with the front office thing. If the front office likes him he must be good.

I don't mean to put somebody on blast but it's something I've noticed as well.

I side w/ the FO, because they are the professionals here that work with these players. Be it the old FO or new, has a player got away that has proven a baller that you can say 'big mistake'.

There is plenty I disagree with as well. I was sour on Knapp's hiring, but thought he'd do more with the talent here, he hasn't.

I'm a positive person. I tend to side with what appears a positive to me.

As for Pryor. Liked the pick at the time, but thought Hue (and Al for that matter) would be around to work with him. That was before Palmer. I've not done a 180 on Pryor, just don't think he needs to be rushed in when Palmer is a quality starter. I'd like to see him learn and play down the road with Palmer starting.

M-current in human neocortical neurones.
Intracellular recordings were made in slices of human neocortex that had been surgically excised from patients in order to remove deep lying brain tumours. In more than half the neurones studied under voltage-clamp (n = 9), a non-inactivating K+-current was detected that was turned on at potentials positive to around -60 mV. This conductance persisted when Ca2+-flux into neurones was blocked with Cd2+ and it was suppressed by muscarine (20 microM). The slow kinetics and voltage sensitivity of this K+ conductance, together with its muscarinic suppression, identified it as the M-current (IM). In addition to IM, evidence for the existence of Ca2+ and Ca2+-activated conductances was obtained in human neurones. These results validate the extrapolation of animal-derived data and identify IM as a target for cholinergic modulation in the human.

Lesson: Introduction to Neurophysiology

## Chapter 1: What is Neurophysiology?
Neurophysiology is the study of the functioning of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It involves understanding how neurons communicate with each other and how they process information.

## Chapter 2: What is an action potential?
An action potential is a rapid electrical signal that travels along a neuron. It is generated when a neuron receives a stimulus that causes the membrane potential to become more positive inside the neuron than outside. This causes a flow of positive ions into the cell, which generates an electrical signal that travels along the neuron until it reaches the axon terminal.

## Chapter 3: What is the M-current?
The M-current, also known as the slow potassium current, is a type of ion channel found in neurons that allows potassium ions to flow out of the cell. It is activated when the membrane potential becomes more positive than a certain threshold, and it helps to regulate the firing of action potentials in the neuron.

## Chapter 4: Why is the M-current important?
The M-current is important because it helps to regulate the excitability of neurons. It prevents them from becoming overexcited and firing too many action potentials, which could lead to damage or death of the neuron. Additionally, the M-current is thought to play a role in learning and memory formation, as it helps to stabilize the membrane potential of neurons during periods of high activity.

## Chapter 5: How does the M-current work?
The M-current works by opening potassium ion channels when the membrane potential becomes more positive than a certain threshold. This allows potassium ions to flow out of the cell, which helps to hyperpolarize the membrane and prevent the generation of additional action potentials. The M-current is also sensitive to the presence of certain neurotransmitters, such as muscarine, which can block the channel and prevent the current from flowing.

## Chapter 6: What are some applications of neurophysiology?
Neurophysiology has many applications, including the development of treatments for neurological disorders, the study of how the nervous system processes information, and the development of artificial neural networks for use in computing. Understanding the functioning of the nervous system is crucial for advancing our knowledge of how the brain works and how we can improve the lives of those affected by neurological conditions.

## Glossary:
- Neuron: A specialized cell that makes up the nervous system and is responsible for transmitting information throughout the body.
- Action potential: A rapid electrical signal that travels along a neuron, generated when the membrane potential becomes more positive inside the neuron than outside.
- M-current: A type of ion channel found in neurons that allows potassium ions to flow out of the cell, helping to regulate the firing of action potentials.
- Potassium ion: A type of ion that has a positive charge and is involved in the generation of action potentials.
- Hyperpolarize: To make the membrane potential of a neuron more negative than it was before.
- Neurotransmitter: A chemical messenger that is released by neurons to transmit information between cells.
- Muscarine: A neurotransmitter that can block the M-current and prevent the generation of action potentials.
- Artificial neural network: A computational model that is designed to mimic the functioning of the human brain, used to solve complex problems and make predictions.

Angiosarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract. A report of three cases.
Three cases of angiosarcoma in the stomach, small bowel, and colon, respectively, are reported. The gastric lesion occurred many years after historic evidence of cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma. Two of the three lesions exhibited multifocality, and all demonstrated aggressive biologic courses. The varied histologic features of angiosarcoma make this diagnosis difficult to establish in an unusual location such as the gastrointestinal tract. The use of immunohistochemistry for a panel of antibodies, particularly the successful reaction with Factor VIII-related antigen, is important in evaluating light microscopically unusual tumors. A delicate framework of collagen type IV was elicited in each case, but ultrastructurally correlated with short segments of basal lamina in one case. This suggests that the absence of the traditional morphologic expression of basal lamina does not preclude its presence and emphasizes the sensitivity of immunohistochemistry. The lack of previously reported cases of gastrointestinal angiosarcoma may be because the tumor is underrecognized or because it is truly a rare occurrence.

Lesson: Introduction to Pathology

Pathology is the study of diseases and their causes, processes, and effects on the body. In this lesson, we will learn about angiosarcoma, a rare type of cancer that affects the blood vessels. We will explore its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

**Section 1: What is Angiosarcoma?**

Angiosarcoma is a type of cancer that affects the cells of the blood vessels. It can occur in any part of the body, but it is most common in the skin, breast, and internal organs such as the stomach, small bowel, and colon.

**Section 2: Symptoms of Angiosarcoma**

The symptoms of angiosarcoma vary depending on where it occurs in the body. Some common symptoms include:

- Skin changes, such as redness or swelling
- Breast lumps or changes in the nipple
- Abdominal pain or bloating
- Rectal bleeding or change in bowel habits
- Cough or shortness of breath

These symptoms can also be caused by other conditions, so it is essential to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

**Section 3: Diagnosing Angiosarcoma**

Diagnosing angiosarcoma can be challenging because it is a rare cancer. However, doctors may use several tests to determine if someone has this disease:

- Physical examination: A doctor will examine the patient and look for any signs of angiosarcoma.
- Imaging tests: These tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, can help doctors see if there are any tumors in the body.
- Biopsy: A biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue from the suspected tumor and examining it under a microscope to look for cancer cells.

**Section 4: Treatment Options for Angiosarcoma**

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating angiosarcoma, as it depends on the stage of the cancer, the patient's overall health, and other factors. Some common treatment options include:

- Surgery: This involves removing the tumor and surrounding tissue.
- Radiation therapy: This uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells or prevent them from growing.
- Chemotherapy: This uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing.
- Targeted therapy: This targets specific genes or proteins involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In conclusion, angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that affects the blood vessels. While it can be challenging to diagnose, early detection and treatment can significantly improve the chances of survival. Understanding the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for angiosarcoma is crucial for anyone who may be at risk for this disease.

Re: Point of rotation for panorama. In reply to WIMorrison • Apr 13, 2013. My thanks to everyone for your posts and the excellent information that you have provided. I am clear now what I need to do to get good panoramic shots, firstly get a decent head that allows me to rotate the camera around the correct point and also shoot in portrait mode for horizontal panoramas. I use a 17-35mm f2.8 with a d800e for most of my landscapes and am coming to conclusion that a prime in the range 20-30mm would be beneficial. If I was looking in that range what would you recommend? Whilst I do want good quality, unfortunately money is not unlimited and I wonder if Sigma has anything that you feel will do the camera justice and keep somewhere near a decent budget?. --.

Lesson: Panoramic Photography

Introduction:
Panoramic photography is a technique that involves taking multiple photos and combining them to create a single, wide image. This type of photography is often used to capture landscapes, cityscapes, and other scenes that are too large to fit into a single frame. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of panoramic photography, including the equipment needed, the process of taking the photos, and how to stitch them together.

Equipment:
To take panoramic photos, you will need a camera that can shoot in manual mode and has a tripod mount. You will also need a tripod and a panoramic grip or head that allows you to rotate the camera horizontally or vertically. Some cameras have built-in panoramic modes, but these may not always produce the best results. It is recommended to use a prime lens with a wide angle of view, such as a 24mm or 35mm lens.

Process:
1. Choose your location and compose your shot. Decide which direction you want to rotate the camera and where you want to start and end the shot.
2. Set up your tripod and camera on a flat surface. Make sure the camera is level and the tripod is stable.
3. Attach the panoramic grip or head to the tripod and camera.
4. Take the first photo by rotating the camera to the right or left. Make sure to overlap each photo by about 30% to ensure that the images line up correctly when stitched together.
5. Continue taking photos in the same direction until you reach the end of the scene.
6. Repeat the process by rotating the camera in the opposite direction.
7. Download the photos onto your computer and use software to stitch them together. There are many free and paid panoramic stitching programs available, such as Hugin, PTGui, and AutoStitch.

Stitching Together:
When stitching together panoramic photos, there are several things to consider:
1. Make sure the photos are properly aligned before stitching. Use the overlapping areas to align the photos correctly.
2. Adjust the exposure and color balance of the photos to make sure they match.
3. Remove any objects or people that appear in multiple photos.
4. Adjust the contrast and sharpness of the final image.

Conclusion:
Panoramic photography can be a fun and rewarding way to capture wide scenes and landscapes. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can take great panoramic photos and create stunning images that showcase the beauty of the world around us.

Knowing the precise geographic location (“geolocation”) of a merchant can be valuable for a variety of reasons. Most notably, mapping applications on consumer computing devices may often require geolocation information for merchants in order to both accurately draw maps of geographic areas and provide GPS-assisted navigation information to the consumer and other users. Inaccurate geolocations for merchants may therefore lead to inaccurate maps and inaccurate navigation directions provided to users, which could be damaging to a service's reputation. As a result, mapping and navigation services may desire updated and accurate merchant geolocations to improve their services.
However, many current methods for identifying merchant geolocations are often too error-prone, time consuming, and/or inefficient. For example, one method for identifying merchant geolocations includes having an employee physically visit merchant locations and identify the geographic coordinates, or other suitable representation, of the merchant location. However, this can require a vast amount of resources and time, especially on a large scale, and can be inaccurate without obtaining multiple measurements at each merchant. In another example, merchants may self-report their geolocation to the service. However, the gathering of such data may be time consuming, and may also be inaccurate as it relies on the merchants to self-report geolocation information, who may not provide proper or accurate data.
Many consumers that shop at various merchants often are in possession of a mobile computing device that is configured to report its geolocation. As such, the geolocation data of these mobile computing devices may be ideal for inferring a merchant geolocation. Thus, there is a need for a technical solution to infer merchant geolocations using mobile computing device geolocation data in combination with transaction data, while still maintaining a high level of privacy for consumers and other users of the mobile computing devices.

Core Value:
The core value in this paragraph is that Dr. Ágnes Molnár is a medical doctor who specialized in pediatrics and infant medicine.

Lesson:
Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the field of medicine and the specialization of pediatrics. Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The goal of this lesson is to introduce you to the basics of pediatrics and to provide you with an overview of what it means to be a pediatrician.

Section 1: What is Pediatrics?
Pediatrics is a medical specialty that focuses on the physical, emotional, and social health of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatricians are doctors who have completed additional training to become experts in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood illnesses. They also provide preventive care, such as immunizations and well-child checkups.

Section 2: Why is Pediatrics Important?
Pediatrics is an important medical specialty because children are not just small adults. They have unique physiological and psychological needs that require specialized knowledge and skills. Pediatricians are trained to recognize and treat common childhood illnesses, such as colds, flu, and ear infections. They also know how to diagnose and treat more serious conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, and cancer.

Section 3: What does a Pediatrician do?
A pediatrician provides medical care for infants, children, and adolescents. This includes physical exams, immunizations, and treatment for illnesses and injuries. Pediatricians also provide guidance on nutrition, growth and development, and safety. They may also work with other healthcare providers, such as nurses, therapists, and social workers, to provide comprehensive care for their patients.

Section 4: How do I become a Pediatrician?
To become a pediatrician, you need to complete four years of undergraduate education, followed by four years of medical school. After medical school, you must complete a three-year residency in pediatrics. Finally, you must pass a board examination to become certified in pediatrics.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned about the field of pediatrics and the role of a pediatrician. We have also explored the importance of pediatrics and the steps required to become a pediatrician. By understanding the basics of pediatrics, you can better appreciate the work of pediatricians and the importance of providing specialized care for our youngest patients.

It is HEW’s position, however, that universities are legally autonomous and mergers are a matter for university governing bodies to decide.”. .”. Note to Editors A link to HEW’s July 2011 statement can be found here.. That statement said:  fulfil the goals, including on reconfiguration, outlined in the Funding Council’s Corporate Strategy for 2010-11–2012-13. In this process we are pleased to have the support of colleagues in Universities UK, the wider representative body for Britain’s universities.”

## Lesson: Fixed Mindsets
### Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about fixed mindsets and how they can limit our potential. We will explore what a fixed mindset is, how it differs from a growth mindset, and why it's important to identify and challenge our own fixed mindsets.
### Section 1: What is a Fixed Mindset?
A fixed mindset is a belief that our abilities and intelligence are set and cannot be changed. People with a fixed mindset often believe that their talents and intelligence are innate and that there is little they can do to improve them. They may also believe that their success is due to their own abilities rather than hard work or effort.
### Section 2: How does a Fixed Mindset differ from a Growth Mindset?
A growth mindset, on the other hand, is a belief that our abilities and intelligence can be developed and improved through hard work, effort, and learning. People with a growth mindset believe that their talents and intelligence can be improved and that they have control over their own success.
### Section 3: Why is it important to identify and challenge our own fixed mindsets?
Identifying and challenging our own fixed mindsets is important because they can limit our potential. When we have a fixed mindset, we may not try as hard or take risks because we believe that our abilities are set and that there is nothing we can do to change them. This can lead to a lack of motivation and a fear of failure. By identifying and challenging our own fixed mindsets, we can open ourselves up to new opportunities and experiences.
### Conclusion
In conclusion, a fixed mindset can limit our potential and prevent us from achieving our full potential. By identifying and challenging our own fixed mindsets, we can open ourselves up to new opportunities and experiences. Remember, success is not determined by our innate abilities, but by our willingness to work hard and learn from our mistakes.
### Glossary
- **Fixed Mindset**: A belief that our abilities and intelligence are set and cannot be changed.
- **Growth Mindset**: A belief that our abilities and intelligence can be developed and improved through hard work, effort, and learning.

Watch out, George Lucas, there's a new attack of the clones, and these ones are furry.

Japanese researchers have created a potentially endless line of mice cloned from other cloned mice. They used the same technique that created Dolly the sheep to produce 581 mice from an original donor mouse through 25 rounds of cloning, the scientists report in the March 7 issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell.

"This technique could be very useful for the large-scale production of superior-quality animals, for farming or conservation purposes," study leader Teruhiko Wakayama of the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan, said in a statement.

The researchers used a cloning technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer, in which a cell nucleus containing one individual's genetic information is inserted into an egg cell whose nucleus has been removed. Dolly the Sheep became the first cloned mammal in 1996 using this technique. Many other animals have been cloned since, but the technique has had a low success rate and attempts to "reclone" animals have often failed.

Genetic abnormalities that can accumulate over consecutive generations of clones may explain these failures, Wakayama said. [That's Odd! The 10 Weirdest Animal Discoveries]

In their study, Wakayama and colleagues grew the cloned cells in a solution containing trichostatin, a compound that interferes with enzymes that make changes to DNA. Using this technique, the cloning process was five times more successful.

The team successfully cloned the mice 25 consecutive times. In other words, they cloned one mouse, then cloned those clones, and so on. A total of 581 healthy mice were made, all of which were fertile and lived a normal life span of about two years. The efficiency of making the cloned cells neither worsened nor improved over the generations.

"This is a very important set of results," geneticist George Church of Harvard Medical School told LiveScience. It's "not just that it's 25 sequential clonings, it's that they found a way to improve things five-fold," Church said. Figuring out what didn't work was equally important, he added.

No abnormalities accumulated in the mice, even after repeated cloning, the researchers found. "Our results show that repeated iterative recloning is possible and suggest that, with adequately ef?cient techniques, it may be possible to reclone animals inde?nitely," the authors wrote in the study.

In 2008, Wakayama's team created clones from the bodies of mice that had been frozen for 16 years. Other researchers have successfully recloned cows, pigs and cats, but not beyond three generations. Scientists have also created stem cells from cloned human embryos, but ethical and scientific barriers to human cloning remain.

Lesson: Cloning

Introduction:
Cloning is a process in which an organism is produced that is genetically identical to a parent organism. This is done by transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the parent organism into an enucleated egg cell. The resulting offspring will be genetically identical to the parent organism. In this lesson, we will learn about the history of cloning, the process of cloning, and its applications.

I. History of Cloning

A. Dolly the Sheep (1996) - Dolly was the first mammal to be successfully cloned using somatic cell nuclear transfer.

B. Other early clones - After Dolly, other animals such as cows, pigs, and goats were successfully cloned.

C. Controversy - Cloning has been a controversial topic since it was first introduced. Some people argue that it is unnatural, while others believe it could be useful for conservation efforts.

II. Process of Cloning

A. Somatic cell nuclear transfer - This is the process of transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the parent organism into an enucleated egg cell.

B. Enucleation - This is the process of removing the nucleus from the egg cell.

C. Activation - After the nucleus has been transferred, the egg cell needs to be activated so that it can start dividing.

D. Implantation - Once the embryo has reached a certain stage, it needs to be implanted into a surrogate mother.

III. Applications of Cloning

A. Farming - Cloning could be used to produce superior-quality animals that are resistant to disease or produce more milk, meat, or eggs.

B. Conservation - Cloning could be used to save endangered species by producing large numbers of offspring.

C. Medical research - Cloning could be used to produce animals with specific genetic mutations that could be studied to better understand human diseases.

IV. Self-Debate Discussion

A. Should cloning be allowed for farming purposes? Why or why not?

B. How could cloning be used to help endangered species?

V. Glossary

A. Somatic cell - any cell in the body that is not a reproductive cell

B. Nuclear transfer - the process of transferring a nucleus from one cell to another

C. Enucleation - the process of removing the nucleus from a cell

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about the history of cloning, the process of cloning, and its applications. We also engaged in self-debate discussions to think critically about the topic. Cloning has the potential to revolutionize farming, conservation, and medical research, but it also raises ethical questions. As we continue to learn more about cloning, we will be able to apply our knowledge to new problems and make informed decisions about its use.
