La sarcoidosis gastrointestinal es una forma infrecuente de la sarcoidosis. La sarcoidosis gástrica afecta aproximadamente al 10% de los pacientes con enfermedad sistémica y sólo rara vez se presenta con síntomas. Aquí presentamos el caso de una úlcera sangrante gástrica en una mujer de 66 años de edad con sarcoidosis pulmonar.
Las biopsias de la úlcera mostró granulomas no caseificantes y fueron positivos para Helicobacter pylori. La afección gástrica por la sarcoidosis suele ser asintomática, sin embargo, los médicos deben reconocer que se pueden presentar úlceras sintomáticas, aunque raramente.
Sarcoidosis, sarcoidosis gástrica, sarcoidosis extrapulmonar
Gastrointestinal (GI) tract sarcoidosis is an uncommon form of sarcoidosis. Gastric sarcoidosis affects approximately 10% of patients with systemic disease and only rarely presents with symptoms. Here we present the case of a bleeding gastric ulcer in a 66-year-old female with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Biopsies of the ulcer showed non-caseating granulomas and were positive for Helicobacter pylori. She received treatment with PPIs and H. pylori eradication therapy and recovered well. Gastric involvement in sarcoidosis is usually asymptomatic, however, clinicians should recognize that it can present with symptomatic ulcers, albeit rarely.
Sarcoidosis, gastrointestinal sarcoidosis, symptomatic gastric sarcoidosis, extra pulmonary sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas. Sarcoidosis commonly involves the mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes, lungs, liver, eyes, skin, and nervous system.
Gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement in sarcoidosis is rare. Gastric sarcoidosis affects approximately 10% of patients with systemic disease.1 GI sarcoidosis commonly occur subclinically, with clinical manifestations present in only 0.1 to 0.9% of patients with the disease.2 About 40% patients with sarcoidosis show subtle changes in their GI immune responses. The significance of these altered immune responses in the pathogenesis of GI tract sarcoidosis is unknown.3 Sporadic case reports and case series of symptomatic GI tract sarcoidosis have described the clinical and radiographic manifestation of this uncommon entity. The clinicopathologic features of GI tract sarcoidosis are non-specific, and other diseases should be excluded prior to making this diagnosis.
A 66-year old woman with a history of colon cancer 14 years earlier, for which she received curative treatment with surgery and post operative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. While on surveillance multiple mediastinal, subcarinal and tracheal lymph nodes were found on a chest CT scan. Biopsy of these nodes revealed non-caseating granulomas, which were negative for acid-fast bacilli, fungi or other microorganisms; she had a negative tuberculin test and high levels of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Spirometry was normal. Patient was discharged with a diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis. She had been asymptomatic for eight years until she presented to the hospital with complaints of hematemesis and melena of 48 hours duration, her hemoglobin was 9 g/dL (previous was 13.6 g/dL), blood pressure was 80/60 mmHg with a pulse of 96. She was treated with intravenous fluids and underwent an upper endoscopy that revealed a 10 mm lesion with irregular and elevated borders, ulcerated with a fibrin plug, located on the posterior wall of the greater curvature. Biopsies of the lesion showed non-caseating granulomas and were positive for Helicobacter pylori (Figure 1). Tests using special stains for fungi, acid-fast bacilli gave negative results. She received treatment with PPIs and H. pylori eradication therapy. Patient recovered well and her last endoscopy shows the lesion without ulceration (Figure 2).

Schaumann first described gastric sarcoidosis in 1936.4 Although gastric sarcoidosis is rare, it is the most common form of GI tract sarcoidosis and may present in the context of generalized disease or as an isolated finding. It may mimic other gastric processes, including peptic ulcer disease, Menetrier's disease, localized hypertrophic gastritis, Crohn disease, and carcinoma.5 The diagnosis of gastric sarcoidosis is dependent on histological evidence of non-caseating granulomas on mucosal biopsies. Subclinical gastric sarcoidosis is the most common kind. Isolated cases have been described where known sarcoidosis patients have had gastric involvement.6 The outstanding characteristic of this case was that the patient was severely symptomatic with upper GI bleeding owing to a gastric ulcer, which was diagnosed at endoscopy. She also had H. pylori infection and this likely contributed.
The manifestations of gastric sarcoidosis are usually related to ulceration of involved mucosa or narrowing of gastric or pyloric lumen caused by granulomatous inflammation and scarring. The most common presenting symptom is epigastric pain; upper GI hemorrhage also has been reported. Other symptoms are nausea, vomiting, bloating, and early satiety. Although ulcerative gastric sarcoidosis can present throughout the stomach, it tends to occur more frequently in antral mucosa.7 The decision to provide treatment should reflect a weighing of the risks of using corticosteroids, the most common therapy, against the potential benefits. Treatment with corticosteroids results in symptomatic improvement in 66% of patients.8 Patients with gastric sarcoidosis may have a partial response to proton pump inhibitors and antacids.9 This case illustrates the importance of considering gastric sarcoidosis in patients with sarcoidosis and gastrointestinal symptoms.

The WWE defined itself in the '90's with it's "Attitude" re-adjustment. Wrestlers were no longer supermen. They didn't wear colorful costumes, they didn't look like they stepped out of comic books. Guys like Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake had all run down south (to WCW), leaving behind guys like Steve Austin and The Rock. The philosophy was simple: just take the wrestler's real personality and turn it up to 11. Work rate (what the wrestler actually does in the ring–other than pose and throw punches) became a matter of pride for most top-notch workers. Usually, that sort of thing was reserved for second tier guys: just on the edge of fame, still breaking their asses to get noticed by the crowd.
Stone Cold Steve Austin was the poster boy for the Attitude Era and at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, he made it very clear he would never come back to the ring. Perhaps the WWE should retire the Attitude Era with him, because what I saw and heard at Wrestlemania XXV was something I did not expect to see.
I saw the return of Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat.
Steamboat was always a unique case in the world of wrestling. While most perfomers switch between heel and face (bad guy and good guy), he was always a white hat. With his good looks, charisma and work rate, it didn't make any sense to turn him heel. And did I mention his work rate? You look up any list of the Greatest Matches of All Time and you'll see his name on at least two of them. Rick Flair called him "the best wrestler I ever worked with." He and Randy Savage stole the show at Wrestlemania III.
And last night, he nearly stole Wrestlemania XXV.
At fiftysomething years old, he walked out into the ring and had an amazing four minutes with Chris Jericho. The crowd was chanting, on their feet. The loudest pops of the night came from those four minutes. He did steal the show… until Michaels and Undertaker stole it from him.
The following night, on Raw (I just watched it on Youtube), in a ten man tag match, the crowd was chanting his name. With guys like Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho and Kane and all the other "superstars" in the ring, the fans wanted Steamboat. They chanted for him. "You've still got it," the crowd told him. And "This is awesome!" when he was in the ring, working just a step slower than the Steamboat of the '80's, but still working.
This wasn't just a nostalgia thing. It was watching a guy who knows how to capture a crowd's attention and hold on to it. A guy who knows how to sell his opponent's moves. A guy who knows that it takes two to make a match work. The back and forth of the battle.
Now, I'm not so much of a mark that I don't know Steamboat probably couldn't do a full match. But using Steamboat as an on-screen mentor for other wrestlers would be fantastic.
Imagine this. (Fantasy booker time.) Imagine two stables of wrestlers. One managed by Steamboat and the other managed by Flair. Put those two stables against each other. Now, you've got what the fans want to see.
Vince McMahon says he listens to the fans. I hope he heard what I heard.

Moms tend to place a lot of high expectations on themselves, and even other moms. But, let's face it, parenting doesn't fit one mold, and parenting isn't always a walk in the park. Author Debora M. Coty has written a pocket book that brings a lighthearted approach to being a mom. I love Debora's style of writing and how she guides moms in a way that isn't overly serious. I read through this book once, then caught myself reading parts of it over again.
With Bible scripture, witty stories, quotes, and points of discussion, Too Blessed to be Stressed for Moms is a "mom" book that I can relate to. I was made to think, relate, analyze, and laugh out loud when reading this book. Even though the book is written with a buoyant tone, it does make you stop and think. The "Navigating the Hood" section at the end of each chapter implores readers to answer questions that relate to their life, and maybe even find ways to change what they're doing. There's even a pink ribbon bookmark to mark your page. The only part I didn't like about this book is when the author refers to God as "Papa God". That's only because I prefer to use more reverence when addressing my Heavenly Father. Other than that, I definitely recommend this book to all moms.
Mica's been limping, since the 29th. We didn't really want to take him out of school. I signed all the paperwork for an in school clinic. Then I told him to go to the nurse's office, to ask to go to the clinic. We found out he has shin splints, which I predicted. Now I've been after him to do his stretches a lot! He's also iced it.
I have been running errands, mostly for my daughter, taking her to dance class, the list goes on & on.
My mom adventure was making homemade goodies for my kids.
I only have fur babies at home now, but they keep me busy.
My Mom adventure this is week is purging my daughters room. We are moving this month so it's a good time to do it!
My mom adventure is worrying about my college student who has glass in her foot and couldn't get it out. She went to a walk-in clinic. Do we ever stop worrying about our kids???!!
My mommy adventure is cooking meals for my grandchildren all week.
Taking my daughter to the zoo and the pool while the weather is still nice.
I cooked two really adventurous (for me) meals and went to two fall festivals in the blazing 90 plus degree temps this weekend. I deserve a medal.
I have been taking the grandkids to practice and watching soccer games.
Ive been busy trying to make a surprise day for my oldest turning 8. She wants to go horseback riding so thats what Im trying to accomplish but the weather here in MI has other ideas.

Orders for large-size boxship exceed 50 units
Orders for ultra-large containerships with capacities exceeding 10,000 TEUs are on the rise again. South Korean shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has bagged orders for five 18,000-TEU containerships, plus another one on option, and five 14,000-TEU units, plus another six on option, from the Middle Eastern operator United Arab Shipping Co. (UASC). Meanwhile, another South Korean shipyard, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME), has entered into a deal to construct three 18,000-TEU containerships for an Asian owner. Orders for jumbo containerships, including the units on option, that have surfaced so far this year have ballooned to 55 ships. Against the backdrop of the robust demand, China's Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding and Taiwan's China Shipbuilding Corp. (CSBC) has successfully made their foray into the market.
HHI's orders are due for delivery starting the latter half of 2014 and had a total contract price of $1.39 billion. The per-unit price of the vessels stands at about $87 million, higher by slightly above 10% compared to the price of mega-containerships thus far. Five mega-containerships that were booked by the yard are scheduled to be built at the HHI Group's Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries. The high regard obtained by its ability to cope with near-term delivery, construction track record and environmental technologies through joint construction with Hyundai Samho are said to have led to the string of orders for HHI. With these orders, sales from order receipts in HHI's (including Hyundai Samho) shipbuilding/offshore/plant division has reached $19.6 billion, representing 82% of its annual target.
Meanwhile, DSME has bagged an order for three mega-containerships with a combined price of $421 million. Priced at $140 million apiece, the newbuildings are due to be completed at the end of 2015. The specific type of the vessels is not immediately available, but it is believed that the ships will be 18,000-TEU units. The yard received an order for three mega-containerships from an Asian shipowner in August that had the same price as the latest order, so it seems that the latter represents the option that came with such order that was booked in August. The ships were reportedly ordered by Hong Kong Asset Management (HKAM) and it appears that DSME managed to allocate its slipways for 10 18,000-TEU ships after Maersk Line decided to defer the placement of additional orders with the yard.
Prices of mega-containerships plunged below the $8,000/TEU level at the turn of this year, leading to the string of orders placed by Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line), which had refrained from ordering newbuildings during the previous boom in the market, as well as Seaspan and China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL) with Imabari Shipbuilding, HHI and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding. In August, orders for a total of 55 newbuildings, including options, surfaced in the market, including the first order for three 16,000-TEU ships booked by Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding from its group company CSSC (Hong Kong) and the five 14,000-TEU containerships, plus another five on option, that were ordered from China Shipbuilding Corp. (CSBC) by Yang Ming Marine Transport.
According to the figures compiled by Clarkson PLC, firm orders for 8,000-TEU and larger containerships in the January-July 2013 period totaled 77 ships of 850,000 TEUs, accounting for about 70% of the total order receipts booked in the whole of 2011 on a TEU basis.

Why Birds Do That: A Collection Of Curious Avian Exploits by nature writer and photographer Michael Furtman explains forty distinctive bird behaviors. Enhanced with more than one hundred color photographs.
Birds provide endless fascination with their evocative songs, their complex and occasionally comical behavior, their variety, and their seasonal comings and goings. Why Birds Do That: A Collection Of Curious Avian Exploits explains forty distinctive bird behaviors. Enhanced with more than one hundred color photographs and very highly recommended for ornithology students and non-specialist general readers with an interest in bird behavior, Why Birds Do That explains why birds sing; why the singing principally takes place in the morning; why males of many species sport bright colors; why some birds hatch naked, while others come with thick and fluffy coats of down; and other common (and not-so-common) questions concerning the birds we see in our backyards, our farms and fields, our meadows, glens and forests.


Giving a gift of life insurance either through an existing policy or a new one is a great way to turn small monthly premiums into a significant charitable gift.
Life insurance is one of the most effective means to maximize giving, and can be an excellent planned giving tool for a donor who wishes to make a substantial gift to ministry. Depending on the policy chosen, moderate premiums are spread over time with the resulting gift being quite significant at time of death. Both existing or new life insurance policies can be donated. While there are many different types of life insurance, the principle of giving remains the same; a relatively small present gift will ultimately provide a much larger gift in the future.
There are a few ways to use Life Insurance as a charitable gift.
Name LFC (or other ministry) as the beneficiary of your policy. Upon your death, the proceeds of the policy go directly to ministry bypassing your estate, and your estate receives a tax receipt for the full amount of the policy.
Transfer ownership of an existing policy to LFC (or other ministry) named as the beneficiary. You receive a current tax receipt for the fair market value of the policy and receive an annual charitable deduction for any ongoing premiums you continue to pay.

Using life insurance is convenient, simple, and doesn't require any changes to your will. If you name LFC as the beneficiary or owner and beneficiary, you can fill out a Gift Allocation Agreement to designate what ministries will receive your gift.


At some point in your business career, you have probably attended a convention which has been augmented by a trade show of vendors exhibiting their products and services. Or even a home show, a boat show, or a lawn and garden show. If you are like me, you try to walk the aisles without making eye contact with the vendor for fear you'll have to spend 30 minutes listening to someone talk about something in which you have no interest.
I have now experienced the flip side of this scenario. I have been exhibiting my wares – custom invitations and promotional products – at Bridal Extravaganzas. Now I am the one who is ignored or avoided by some. The good news is I don't take it personally. I know the show is overwhelming with sights and sounds, and every 10 feet someone is trying to get a guest's attention.
The first and foremost reason is exposure. It is a concentrated way to reach a target market – in my case, brides planning their special day. In my experience, I have no direct competitors exhibiting. There are a couple of other companies selling invitations from catalogs, but not providing services to create custom pieces.
Secondly, exhibiting at shows allows the opportunity to educate the bride about her options for creating an invitation. Each bride is an individual and, as such, has different needs for her wedding. The invitation is the first inkling a guest has of the tone and style of the wedding. If the bride has no idea what she wants or needs, our display and literature give her information to be able to make decisions.
Shows provide the opportunity for the bride, and often her mom and/or bridesmaids, to see and feel real products and to ask questions about her special invitation. Shows provide me the opportunity to invite her to come to my brick-and-mortar location for a sit-down appointment where she can receive personal attention in a quiet, calm atmosphere.
We are a full service print shop with a 35-year presence in the community. We have the knowledge and experience to produce the invitation of the bride's dreams. This experience also allows us to get creative and be able to tailor an invitation to fit a bride's budget. We ask the bride to describe her dream wedding invitation, we price it, then ask if it fits her budget. If yes, we move forward; if no, we talk about ways to make changes to reduce the cost but retain the essence.
I continue to streamline the set up and pack up for each show, narrowing the show pieces to unusual custom pieces we've produced (laser cut and pull out pieces), most popular current trends (koozies and cups), or unusual things people may not think about needing (poster-sized seating charts and evening timeline schedules).
Exposure at bridal shows has definitely increased our business. Additionally, word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied brides and their moms increase the after-effects of a show exponentially. I have even received business from a father of the bride for his business, and from a bride for her business, too. If you are a business owner looking to increase your business, I recommend finding a venue to showcase your products and services to your target market.
And when you need printing or promotional items to hand out at your trade show, or any type of signage, call the Printing Professionals at Medical Parkway Printing.

Joseph Moureau ou Jeff Moureau, né à Tirlemont, le  et mort à Jette, le , est un pilote de chasse de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Avec lui disparait le dernier pilote belge ayant combattu au sein d'une escadrille belge de la Royal Air Force britannique.

Éléments biographiques
Joseph Moureau nait à Tirlemont, le , dans une famille nombreuse qui comptera dix enfants. En 1940, lui et son frère jumeau Alfred (Freddy), les deux aînés, rallient l'Angleterre où ils s'enrôlent à la Royal Air Force et y reçoivent une formation de pilote d'abord sur bimoteurs puis sur monomoteurs et enfin sur spitfire.

Joseph Moureau intègre alors la 349e escadrille de la RAF composée de pilotes belges. La veille du débarquement de Normandie, il apprend à  du soir qu'il devra accomplir deux missions le lendemain. Il abat au cours de la seconde un Junkers Ju 88.

Il épouse une Britannique à la fin de la guerre. Joseph Moureau, son épouse et sa fille regagnent Ostende en barge de débarquement puis Bruxelles en train.

Après une convalescence de deux années pour soigner son dos blessé durant la guerre, il intègre la Sobelair puis la Sabena en qualité de pilote et volera pour la compagnie belge sa carrière durant.

Joseph Moureau meurt âgé de  le 28 octobre 2020. Ses funérailles se déroulent le  à Strombeek-Bever. L'après-midi, quatre avions de combat F-16 survolent la commune de Grimbergen où il résidait pour rendre hommage au dernier pilote vétéran belge de la RAF.

I've gone incognito on my new 7 x 9 neoprene mouse pad. Wipe clean with damp cloth. Decorated in the U.S.A.
Best mousepad I've ever owned. Now ALL my mice had a nice place to hang out!
It was a lot thicker than I expected, which is very good in a mouse pad. Thick, and with good stiffness but not *too* stiff. It was perfect since my mouse goes where the "seam" in my desk is -- don't even notice the seam with my Teddy mousepad. The colors and graphics are nice and crisp... and of course adorable!

UTSA volleyball concludes season, Neugebauer-Groff steps down
Laura Neugebauer-Groff has called time on a distinguished career as the head coach of the Roadrunners. Prior to her time at UTSA, Neugebauer-Groff spent eight seasons as the head coach at St. Mary's, three years at Hondo High School and three years as an assistant coach at Texas A&M.

Ryder Martin, Sports Editor
On Monday, Nov. 8, UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Lisa Campos announced that head volleyball coach Laura Neugebauer-Groff had stepped down from her position effective immediately. Neugebauer-Groff had served in the role for 20 years and compiled a career record of 339-260 at UTSA.
Campos thanked Groff for her time with the program in a released statement.
"Coach Neugebauer-Groff has impacted hundreds of UTSA student-athletes over the years in her role leading the volleyball program…A San Antonio Sports Hall of Famer, she will always be a part of UTSA Athletics and we wish her the very best moving forward. We will begin a national search for a new head coach immediately," Campos said.
Neugebauer-Groff expressed her thanks and her appreciation to the program.
"It has been an honor to serve as head volleyball coach at UTSA for the past 20 years…I have been able to do what I truly love by providing opportunities for student athletes to succeed on and off the court. It's been a joy to coach the Roadrunners and I have made so many fond memories and lasting relationships through the years. I wish nothing but the best for the program and the department moving forward," Neugebauer-Groff said.
Neugebauer-Groff led the 'Runners to a Southland Conference Tournament championship, two Conference USA regular season titles and a 2013 Conference USA Tournament championship. Neugebauer-Groff also coached the team to two appearances in the NCAA postseason.
The 'Runners has suffered a downturn in form the past two seasons as they went a combined 15-27.
The UTSA Roadrunners volleyball team (8-16, 5-7 C-USA) concluded their season this weekend by suffering a two-match sweep on the road to the Rice Owls (17-5, 12-0 C-USA). The 'Runners dropped both games by a score of 0-3 and were not competitive in either match.

Update - around forty people took part and had a good time despite the rain. You'll find photos of the event here.
May the road rise up to meet us. May the wind be always at our back. May the sun shine warm upon our faces; the rains fall soft about us and, until our journey's end, may God hold us in the palm of His hand.
You can participate by walking or cycling the route or by making yourself available for ferrying walkers between meeting points. There will also be participation by classic and vintage cars.
The trail passes through Alstonefield, Hartington, Monyash to Bakewell, with fascinating churches and impressive scenery. From Bakewell the route goes on to Baslow, passing through Chatsworth parkland and then finally to Eyam, known as the Plague Village. When the plague struck Eyam in 1665, a quarantine was imposed to prevent the place from spreading to surrounding villages. While a third of Eyam's population died, none of the adjacent villages were affected.
Our pilgrimage will end with a gathering at Eyam for refreshments between 3 and 5pm followed by evensong at Eyam Parish Church at 6.15pm on Sunday 10th September.

Q: When is the suspension-loops adjunction a homeomorphism? Set up
Let $X=(X,x_0),Y=(Y,y_0),Z=(Z,z_0)$ be pointed topological spaces. Let $\newcommand\Maps{\operatorname{Maps}}\Maps_*(X,Y)$ be the space of continuous pointed maps from $X$ to $Y$ with the compact open topology, and base point the constant map $x\mapsto y_0$. I will use $\newcommand\Top{\operatorname{Top}}\Top_*(X,Y)$ for the underlying set of $\Maps_*(X,Y)$. I will omit the $*$s for the unpointed versions.
Let $\Sigma X \simeq X\wedge S^1$ be the reduced suspension functor, and let $\Omega X\simeq \Maps_*(S^1,X)$ be the loop space functor.
Some facts
For $Y$ locally compact, Hausdorff,
$$\Top_*(X\wedge Y,Z)\simeq \Top_*(X,\Maps_*(Y,Z)).
$$
In particular, for $Y=S^1$, we have
$$\Top_*(\Sigma X,Z) \simeq \Top_*(X,\Omega Z).$$
My question:

When does this bijection of underlying sets induce a homeomorphism
  $$\Maps_*(\Sigma X,Z)\simeq \Maps_*(X,\Omega Z)?$$

Is this always true, or is there a counterexample when $X$ is not locally compact Hausdorff?
Motivation:
This is (minus constraints on $X$) exercise 18 of Fomenko and Fuchs, Chapter 2.
Some considerations:
If $X$ is locally compact and Hausdorff, this is true.
Proof.
Introduce an auxiliary pointed space $A=(A,a_0)$. Use Yoneda and the smash-hom adjunction:
$$
\begin{align}
\Top_*(A,\Maps_*(X\wedge S^1,Z))
&\simeq \Top_*(A\wedge(X\wedge S^1),Z)\\
&\simeq \Top_*((A\wedge X)\wedge S^1,Z)\\
&\simeq \Top_*(A\wedge X,\Omega Z)\\
&\simeq \Top_*(A,\Maps_*(X,\Omega Z)).\quad\blacksquare\\
\end{align}
$$
Side note: I'm fairly convinced I have a proof that smash product is associative only assuming that the second and third objects are locally compact Hausdorff.
Why I suspect this assumption is necessary:
We can also identify both sides with subsets of $\Top(X\times S^1,Y)\cong \Top(X,\Maps(S^1,Y))$. In Exercise 13, Fomenko and Fuchs ask us to show that the natural map of corresponding spaces is a homeomorphism assuming $X$ and $S^1$ are locally compact and Hausdorff.
I also know that things can go wrong with products/quotients/exponentials when things are not locally compact Hausdorff. See for example these questions. I don't, however, have a counterexample to the claim that
$$\Maps(X\times Y,Z)\simeq \Maps(X,\Maps(Y,Z))
$$
whenever $Y$ is locally compact Hausdorff.
Such a counterexample would also be greatly appreciated.
Edit: My proof for associativity of the smash product under these assumptions depended on the smash product $X\wedge S^1$ being locally compact Hausdorff. Unfortunately, I can't see right now why the base point needs to have a compact neighborhood. That said, a proof along the lines indicated in the last section still goes through regardless.

A: Quite accidentally I've stumbled on a result that basically answers my question.
Proposition A.16 in the appendix of Hatcher is the following:

The natural bijection $$\newcommand\Maps{\operatorname{Maps}}\Maps(X,\Maps(Y,Z)) \simeq \Maps(X\times Y,Z)$$ is a homeomorphism assuming $X$ is Hausdorff and $Y$ is locally compact Hausdorff.

Sketch of proof:
The key point is that $X\times Y$ and $X$ are Hausdorff spaces, so compact subsets of these spaces will be compact Hausdorff, and thus normal. We can use this normality to prove the following two lemmas, which combine to give the result.
Let $M(K,U)$ denote a compact-open subbasic set. Then

*

*$M(A\times B, U)$ is a subbasis for $\Maps(X\times Y,Z)$, with $A$ compact in $X$, $B$ compact in $Y$, $U$ open in $Z$.

*If $X$ is Hausdorff, then for any space $Q$, $M(A,V)$ forms a subbasis for $\Maps(X,Q)$ as $V$ ranges over a subbasis for $Q$, and $A$ ranges over all compact sets in $X$.

Then applying the second result to $Q=\Maps(Y,Z)$, with subbasis $V=M(B,U)$, we find that $M(A,M(B,U))$ is a subbasis for $\Maps(X,\Maps(Y,Z))$.
Since $M(A\times B,U)\leftrightarrow M(A,M(B,U))$ under the natural bijection, this proves that the natural bijection is in fact a homeomorphism. $\blacksquare$
This then answers my question, at least to a point where I am satisfied. (I would still be interested in a counterexample to the conclusion of the proposition when the assumption that $X$ is Hausdorff is dropped.)
To get the desired result, we note that when $X$ is Hausdorff, $Y$ is locally compact Hausdorff, the homeomorphism induces a natural homeomorphism
$$\Maps_*(X,\Maps_*(Y,Z)) \simeq \Maps_*(X\wedge Y, Z)$$
using that $\Maps$ applied to a quotient map in the contravariant variable or an embedding in the covariant variable gives an embedding.
Then taking $Y=S^1$, we get that the adjunction $$\Maps_*(\Sigma X, Z)\simeq \Maps_*(X,\Omega Z) $$
is a homeomorphism whenever $X$ is Hausdorff.

Professional Village Compounding Pharmacy Sacramento wanted to share a feel good story with you.
We've heard a lot of negative news about teenage football players recently. And while some have engaged in awful behavior, the truth is that there are a lot of amazing people in the world.
These guys blew me away. They're full of kindness, empathy, compassion, and love — and they're only in junior high. As a parent, I hope to raise my kids to care about others like these boys do. The future is a brighter place with them in it.

The box above was done by artist Jamar Pierre (MacArthur & Kabel) with stunning flowers. This project got started do to the hard work of Erin Smith with the Aurora West Neighborhood Association. CVU worked with Erin to get the box project going! Now thanks to all this CVU has created a partnership with Algiers Development Corporation (ADC) to help get more boxes done in the Algiers area. ADC is sponsoring 3 boxes on their own and will give a grant of $250.00 per neighborhood if the neighborhood raises the additional $500 needed to get a box "artified". Each box costs $750 to complete with all supplies provided by CVU.
4 boxes underway with more to come in future! CVU is looking for Algiers artists to do additional boxes. We are also looking for people/businesses to help sponsor a box. If you are interested in sponsoring a box please contact CVU at cvunola@gmail.com or 504.957.5542.
Any Algiers or other neighborhood interested in getting boxes completed in their area should contact CVU first. CVU will help the neighborhood find artists and art work that will enhance their area.
The 2nd Annual Algiers Fall Festival took center stage on Saturday, September 17th as residents congregated amongst family and friends to enjoy a fun-filled day of music, food and local art!

Baby shower or "Godh Bharai" as it is prominently known as in India is one of the rituals that are performed. In this ritual, the mother does a "Puja" where she is blessed by the gods, the elders of the family and all the well wishers. In this ritual, the mother-to-be is given gifts, blessings and various other things that she can use when the baby arrives. The blessings are given so that the mother has a fruitful delivery and she bears a healthy baby.
But, with the changes in time, these rituals also get modified. New things are introduced in our life every now and then and we should definitely change with changing times. And the best addition that has been seen in the recent years is cakes. We all love cakes and they have become a sign of celebration for most of us. But every occasion requires its own type of cake. So, we bring to you some creative cake ideas that you can use for your own or someone else's baby shower.
We hope these unique and creative cakes give you some ideas you can use for your baby shower.

Seminole's Lose Again
November 11, 2015 Justin Bramm
The Florida State Seminoles were defeated 23-13 by #1 Clemson, who clinched the Atlantic division title with the victory.
It was a tied game going into the fourth quarter, but ultimately the Clemson offense exposed the Seminoles defense late with a couple seam passes and screens, which proved to be too much for defense to handle. Combine that with poor quarterback play from Sean Maguire and you have a recipe for a loss. Besides a 75-yard touchdown from Dalvin Cook on the second play of the game, the 'Noles offense only scored six points. The loss can't be entirely blamed on the quarterback, but one has to wonder if starting Maguire was the correct decision by coach Jimbo Fisher.
The Seminoles had a couple chances to step on Clemson's throat early and seize all of the momentum, but failed to rise to the occasion. The first mishap was the inexplicable interception by Maguire at the 5-yard-line, in which Maguire decided to throw the ball off his back foot up to 5'7" WR Kermit Whitfield, the interception kept the game from being potentially 14-0. Once the Tigers got the ball, the Seminoles would have forced a three and out, if not for a dumb late hit penalty from cornerback Jalen Ramsey that extended Clemson's drive.
Surprisingly Clemson never pulled away in this game, as their quarterback Deshaun Watson missed a few throws and had a few costly errors of his own. The most obvious being him spiking the ball on third down inside the Seminoles' 20-yard-line with thirty seconds left in the first half. The Seminoles' defense played very well, but one of the biggest takeaways from this game might be that Clemson looked very beatable.
The pivotal point of the game was obviously Clemson turning the 'Noles over on downs after two failed rushing attempts by Dalvin Cook to get a single yard. Clemson would go on to score the game-clinching touchdown seven plays later.
The Seminoles are now 7-2, and National Title hopes are officially dead. The hopes were already clinging to life before the loss, but now there isn't a possible way to get to the playoff. It's still a good season by most standards, but after winning the National Championship and making the playoffs in the past two years, two losses in a season is unfamiliar ground in recent history for Seminole fans. The success of this season for 'Noles fans will be decided on the last game of the season by the outcome of their game against the #11 Florida Gators. A win over a contending Florida team would help people forget about the tough losses as well as give Seminole fans bragging rights, while a loss would help declare the season a failure (any season with a loss to Florida is a failure for Seminole fans.)
The biggest question for the Seminoles is who will be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season. With an eye already looking towards next season, you would think that Fisher would opt towards Maguire starting the rest of the year, as he will be back on the team next season, and Golson won't. Whoever ultimately does end up starting won't really affect the team much, as both are mediocre, but I do think that Maguire starting would be most beneficial going forward because at least Maguire can open up the offense and help younger players grow in the system.
Here's what else happened in the ACC:
CLEMSON IS ATLANTIC DIVISION CHAMPS
With Clemson's victory over Florida State they have clinched the Atlantic division within the ACC and will set their sights on the ACC Championship. Clemson's remaining opponents until then have a combined record of 9-18, with none seemingly having any chance of beating them. What a year for Clemson. Deshaun Watson has been everything Clemson fans could have hoped for, leading Clemson's fifteenth ranked offense in points per game. Combine that with their fourth ranked defense in terms of yards, and it doesn't seem like this team has a weakness. The only thing this team may have to worry about until bowl season is the underrated Tarheels who they are poised to play in the ACC Championship.
UNC CAN CLINCH COASTAL DIVISION
Can someone please tell me why everyone is overlooking the Tarheels? Since the first game of the season, a game they shouldn't have lost, the Tarheels have won every game, culminating in their two best wins of the season in the past two weeks against Pittsburgh and Duke. At 8-1, UNC is only four games a way from a possible playoff birth, the fourth of which would assumedly be against a #1 Clemson team. Quarterback Marquise Williams has been one of the best quarterbacks in the country this season, making the Tarheel offense the sixth most efficient offense in the country. Granted they haven't had a very tough schedule, but if they can close out the season, a matchup against #1 Clemson would allow North Carolina to make up for their lack of a tough schedule. North Carolina can clinch the Coastal division with a victory and a Pittsburgh loss this weekend.
DUKE AND PITT UNRAVEL
Pittsburgh and Duke both got shredded on defense this weekend giving up a combined 108 points to UNC and Notre Dame. Both teams have now lost two games in a row when they each had a chance to win the Coastal division. Duke's past two games have been brutal between Miami's illegal kick return and a 35-point loss to the Tarheels. Pittsburgh has to be wondering how their season would have went if they had a bit of an easier schedule. The Panthers have lost to #4 Notre Dame, #5 Iowa, and an under ranked #23 North Carolina. These are two teams that the ACC was hoping could step up and provide some depth in the ACC after Clemson, UNC and Florida State, but it hasn't worked out that way. One of these teams will add another loss to their record when Duke hosts Pittsburgh this weekend at noon.

The Skype for Business Server Management Shell provides the command line interface for server administration and management. It is built on Windows PowerShell and includes a comprehensive set of management and administration cmdlets that are specific to Skype and legacy Lync server products.
Windows PowerShell allows you to manage Microsoft applications from the command line. It includes a command-line environment, product-specific commands, and a full scripting language. Windows PowerShell was first introduced as a downloadable release for the Windows operating system late in 2006, and was incorporated as the command-line interface for manageability of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. It has been incorporated into most of the Microsoft Server products, including Lync and Skype servers beginning with Lync Server 2010. There are over 700 Lync and Skype specific cmdlets available in the Skype for Business Server Management Shell.
To run the Skype for Business Server cmdlets, open the Skype for Business Server Management Shell.
Skype for Business Server Management Shell is automatically installed on every Skype for Business Server Enterprise Edition Front End Server or Standard Edition server.
You can update the Skype for Business Server Management Shell help content by running the Update-Help cmdlet. The Update-Help cmdlet downloads and installs the newest help files available for all of the modules installed on your computer, including updates to Skype for Business cmdlets.
By default, the Update-Help cmdlet will update all the modules installed on your Skype for Business Server. If you want to update only certain modules, you can use the Module parameter to limit the scope of the cmdlet. The following example updates only the Skype for Business module.
If you need to update the Help on servers that are not connected to the internet, you can use the Save-Help cmdlet to get the latest version of the help and save it to a location you specify. You can then use the Update-Help cmdlet with the –SourcePath parameter on servers not connected to the internet to get the updated help from the location you selected. The following example shows how to save the help files to a network file share, and then update the help for the Skype for Business module from the file share.
For more detailed information, see About Updatable Help.

Q: Passing parameter from view to controller on Play Framework I want to pass a parameter from a view to a controller, I'm not sure how to do it.
This is my view:
#{extends 'crud.html' /}

#{form @DesglosesHorarios.updateValues(), class:"form-horizontal"}

        <input type="hidden" name="array-fechas" value="" />
        <fieldset>
            Fechas  <input type="date" id="fecha-update" placeholder="Introduce fechas separadas por coma"/>
            <button type="button" id="add-date-button" class="btn btn-primary">Añadir</button>

        </fieldset>

        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"> &{'save'}</button>
         &{'cancel'}

#{/form}

This is the function I want to use in the controller:
public static void updatevalues(String[] fechas) {
        for(String fecha : fechas){
            updateXML(CalendarUtil.formatDate(CalendarUtil.ParseFecha(fecha)));
        }
        render(request.controller + "/updatevalues.html", fechas);

    }

And this is a JavaScript code that I'm using to catch data and put it into an array:
fechas=[];

$("#add-date-button").on('click', function(){
    exprfecha = /^([0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{4})$/;
    values = $("#fecha-update").val().replace( /\s/g,"");
    values = values.split(',');

    errores=[];

    for(i=0; i<values.length; i++){
        if(values[i].match(exprfecha)){
            if(fechas.indexOf(values[i]) == -1){
                fechas.push(values[i]);
                $("#value-dates ul").css("color","green");
                $("#value-dates ul").append('
'+values[i]+'
');
            }
        }else{
            errores.push(values[i]);
        }
    }

    $("#fecha-error").empty();
    if(errores.length != 0){
        $("#fecha-error").css("color","red");
        for(i=0;i<errores.length;i++){
            $("#fecha-error").append('
'+errores[i]+" no tiene el formato adecuado (DD/MM/AAAA).
");
        }
    }
});

A: Since your view is running on the client-side (browser) you can use a HTTP POST (AJAX or normal) to let your server-side (e.g. your controller) know about your parameter. I see you use jQuery, so you could use jquery.post to post your data back to your controller. In your controller you'd need a second action method that handles this post from your form. Have a look at the Play tutorial about forms and here a couple of older Play examples that include form handling.

A: Sure. I think that there will be better ways to do this, and this is kinda a personalised solution for my case, but this worked for me.
I saw that params.body gave me a string like this one: authenticityToken=8a10c96e3b2f16d68eee075e268a6b3886b9bc64&fecha%22=15%2F07%2F2015
So I simply used this params.body on my controller and took what I needed from the string and process it to obtain the date.
String [] body = params.get("body").split("=");
String paramfechas = body[2];
paramfechas = paramfechas.replace("%2F", "/").replace("%2C", ",");
List<String> fechas = new ArrayList<String>();
String [] fechas = paramfechas.split(",");

On this way I obtained the date(or dates, depending on how many dates were on the params.body) on the format I desired (DD/MM/YYYY)


The firm merged with Automoto, and is also associated with Terrot. The engines they built were used in Automoto and Christophe motorcycles.
They became part of the Peugeot concern in 1967, and the premises were sold to the Japanese company Koyo in 1999.
A. and G. Morelle, 12, avenue de la Grande Armée, Paris. Factory in Saint-Gobert (Aisne).
Built motorcycle(s) with water cooling. Possibly related to Succès.
The story is a little confused as Haustgen also built Iris motorcycles with their own water-cooled engines at this time.

Britain for the disabled
All London Underground trains are wheelchair accessible
Advice, tips, resources, and tours for disabled, handicapped, and physically challenged travelers who want to take a European vacation
Though they've been making enormous strides in the past twenty years, Europe certainly won't win any medals for accessibility.
This really is not their fault. When the ancient Romans, medieval masons, and great Renaissance architects were designing their buildings, they weren't exactly thinking of wheelchair ramps, sturdy handrails, or easy risers on those tight spiral stone staircases inside bell towers. But don't let any disability stop you from traveling.
All the big cities have made an effort to accommodate people with disabilities over the past few years, at the very least putting in, wherever possible, ramps at museum and church entrances.
Hotels have also come a long way in the past decade. The vast majority of hotels rated three-stars and above now have at least a few handicap-friendly rooms easily accessible on the first floor.
While ASL is understood by even fewer people over there than in the U.S., mutes might want to pick up a nifty set of laminated "phrase sheets" with tiny cartoons of everything related to travel—from chickens to banks to train stations—so you can just point to a pictogram to get your message across.
There is also no end of organizations dedicated to helping you plan and execute your trip, doling out specific advice before you go, and providing opportunities to travel. The most important are listed in the "Links" section.
It also might make sense to join a guided tour that caters to travelers with disabilities. » more

At 9:02am, British ships in the habor began shelling the would-be Sultan's palace.
By 9:40, the shelling had stopped, the palace was on fire, and the pretender's flag had been cut down.
At 38 minutes, the Anglo-Zanzibar War remains the shortest war on record.
