Bladder cancer is much more likely to be deadly for women and African-Americans, but the reasons long believed to explain the phenomenon account for only part of the differences for such patients compared to their white and male counterparts, according to results published in the Jan. 1 issue of the journal Cancer.
The results present a stark question for doctors and patients: If age, tumor type, and stage of the disease upon diagnosis don't account for all the increased lethality of the disease in women and African-Americans, then what does?
It's a gaping question facing researchers who have long confronted an irony of bladder cancer, the fifth-most-common type of cancer in America. The disease is more lethal in those patients who are less likely to get it.
Men are more than three times as likely as women to get the disease, and white people are nearly twice as likely to get the disease as African-Americans. Yet, once the disease is present, it's far deadlier in women and in African-Americans -- anywhere from 73 percent to 114 percent more deadly in the first year after diagnosis, depending on the group.
In the Cancer paper, scientists and physicians at the University of Rochester Medical Center show for the first time that the factors traditionally thought to be responsible for the differing course are responsible for only about one-third of the difference between white men and women, and up to two-thirds of the difference between African-Americans and their white counterparts.
"We've known that the disease is likely to be more advanced in women and African-Americans by the time they're diagnosed," said corresponding author Edward Messing, M.D., a surgeon well known for his expertise in treating patients with bladder cancer. "Like many doctors, I long assumed that the delay in diagnosis was the reason why the disease is more deadly for these patients.
"I was surprised to find that recognized factors like a delay in diagnosis explain only part of the difference. There are clearly other important factors at work that make these patients more likely to die from the disease. There could be something different about the cancer itself, or there could be differences in the ways these groups are treated," said Messing, who is professor of Urology and Oncology as well as leader of the Prostate Cancer and Genitourinary Oncology team at the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center.
To do the study, scientists analyzed the records of more than 100,000 patients who were diagnosed with bladder cancer from 1990 to 2003. Their records are part of a national cancer registry known as SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results). The 101,249 patients came from 16 different regions: Atlanta, rural Georgia, Connecticut, Detroit, Seattle, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose, rural California, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Utah.
The statistical analysis was done by first author Emil Scosyrev, a graduate student in epidemiology; Katia Noyes, Ph.D., associate professor of Community and Preventive Medicine; and Changyong Feng, Ph.D., assistant professor of Computational Biology and Biostatistics. The work was funded by the Ashley Family Foundation.
The team found that in the first year after diagnosis, women were anywhere from about 80 percent to 114 percent more likely to die from the disease than their male counterparts. That increase was a bit lower in year two, when women were about 52 to 55 percent more likely to die.
When it came to race, the researchers found that African-Americans were about 73 percent to 103 percent more likely than their white counterparts to die from the disease within the first two years after diagnosis, and about 40 percent to 117 percent more likely to die three or four years after diagnosis.
Then the team sifted through the data to try to uncover the reasons behind these differences. The team found that the factors traditionally thought to be responsible for the differences -- stage of the disease upon diagnosis, tumor type, and age -- accounted for only about 30 percent of the difference between the genders among white people, and about 50 to 70 percent of the differences between the races and between the genders among African-Americans.
"The current study by Scosyrev et al elegantly demonstrates that, even after controlling for tumor characteristics, inferior outcomes remain for African-American patients and women," write physicians Mark Katz, M.D., and Gary Steinberg, M.D., of the University of Chicago Medical Center in an editorial accompanying the findings.
The authors speculate about other factors that might be responsible for the differences, though they say that further study is necessary to know for sure. Some of the other issues that might play a role include the choice of treatment chosen, differences among tumors that were not taken into account in the study, and access to health care.
Messing believes that poorer access to health care is a clear cause of the higher mortality rates for African-Americans. He says African-American patients and their doctors need to be aware of the increased chance of death for these patients, who should be treated as aggressively as possible.
When it comes to gender, some of the differences are likely caused by factors that are not currently understood, such as hormonal differences, says Messing. But a factor that is known to play a key role is people's reaction when they see blood in their urine. Men are more likely than women to notice blood in their urine, to think it's abnormal, and to report it to doctors -- and even then, when it is reported, doctors are 65 percent more likely to refer men than women to urologists.
The authors say that women who find blood in their urine need to be vigilant about having the cause checked as quickly as possible. In women with bladder cancer, sometimes treatment is delayed while doctors investigate other potential causes of blood in the urine. While that is often a sign of a urinary tract infection or something other than cancer, Messing says it's crucial for doctors to consider bladder cancer as a potential cause right from the start.
"People need to be especially vigilant about blood in the urine," said Messing. "Be sure to report it to your doctor, and be sure the doctor investigates the cause thoroughly."
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2007, 67,000 people in the United States were newly diagnosed with bladder cancer, and 13,700 patients died of the disease.

"My mom says it's business in front, party in the back," actress Anne Hathaway joked of her pale pink Prada gown on the red carpet Sunday. But social media users thought they noticed a little something extra slipping through the thin fabric of the Oscar nominee's dress.
"Anne Hathaway's stylist should be fired for not forcing her to wear pasties! HELLO NIPPLES!!!" gossip blogger Perez Hilton tweeted as the Best Supporting Actress nominee walked the red carpet.
Hathaway told E! News' Ryan Seacrest that she picked out the dress only three hours before she arrived, which could explain what's either a poor tailoring job or a good old wardrobe malfunction.
As is to be expected, Anne Hathaway's nipples immediately got their own mock Twitter account.

ESA's old EO missions perform sophisticated new tricks
Envisat and ERS-2, ESA's two veteran Earth missions, have completed a second tandem observation campaign. The technique involved flying the two satellites in precisely coordinated orbits, generating valuable new radar data for modelling Arctic terrain.
Both Envisat and ERS-2 are equipped with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instruments that can generate highly accurate radar images of any region of the Earth's surface. By combining two or more SAR images taken by one satellite of the same site, slight changes that may have occurred between acquisitions can be detected.
This technique, known as SAR interferometry, or InSAR, has proven to be very useful for applications such as glacier monitoring, surface deformation detection and creating digital elevation models (DEMs). The InSAR technique was also used with Envisat to identify land shifts after the 6 April 2009 earthquake in central Italy.
DEMs are representations of variations in Earth's surface altitude in digital format which can be used for a variety of applications, including mineral exploration, planning mobile phone networks and selecting routes for pipelines or roads. To be truly useful, DEMs need to have high resolution and extreme accuracy across wide areas.
Two satellites in orbit, 30 minutes apart
However, in 2007, it was determined that the SAR instruments on ERS
The first ERS-2/Envisat tandem campaign ran from September 2007 until February 2008, and was a strong scientific success. The second campaign ran from November 2008 until April 2009.
For both campaigns, the trick was that the two satellites had to be flown so that one followed the other, some 30 minutes later, in precisely controlled orbital loops, with the second satellite's ground track offset from that of the first by just 2 km.
"By simply modifying the schedule of routine manoeuvres, we were able to achieve the tandem configuration to cover a variety of scientific targets; we then took advantage of natural orbital perturbations to restore ERS-2's reference orbit as of 21 April. As a result, these tandem campaigns did not require more fuel than normal operations," said Spacecraft Operations Engineer Jean-Baptiste Gratadour.
Both tandem campaigns generated strong science results
The second campaign was due to end in January 2009, but could be extended through to April due to the excellent performance of the satellites and the strong teamwork between the mission data teams at ESRIN, ESA's Earth Observation Centre in Frascati, Italy, the joint Flight Control Teams at ESOC, ESA's European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt, Germany, and the Agency's Flight Dynamics experts, also based at ESOC.
"This second ERS-2/Envisat tandem observation campaign was again very successful. Additional datasets with overlapping Doppler spectra were acquired, supporting the creation of accurate DEMs over areas in middle and high northern latitudes," said Dr Urs Wegmüller, President of Gamma Remote Sensing Research and Consulting AG, one of the scientific firms working on mission results.
Wolfgang Lengert, ERS-2 Mission Manager at ESRIN, explained that the tandem campaign took advantage of manoeuvres that in any event had to be done, thus enhancing observation results with little added risk. "The spacecraft operations team operated ERS-2 so as to enable targeted ERS-2/Envisat tandem observations on the 2-km baseline, while also allowing, over certain geolocations, 'regular' ERS
Enhanced observations with little additional risk
"This tandem mission also had perfect timing due to the occurrence of low solar activity, which is very favourable for ERS-2 attitude stability, and the fact that ERS-2 could be left to quickly drift back to its nominal orbit without using additional resources. These tandem missions provide unique datasets for new science," added Lengert.
In addition to the technical complexity of the campaign, the combined ESA team was faced with the challenge of manoeuvring ERS-2, selected to be the follower of Envisat in this case, despite the fact that, since 2001, the satellite has lost the ability to be fully manoeuvred in the usual way using onboard gyroscopes.
As an innovative work-around to the problem of controlling the attitude of ERS-2, enhanced data from the onboard Digital Earth Sensor (DES), initially designed to provide basic positioning checks based on Earth's horizon line, was combined with Doppler frequency data to determine ERS-2's orientation.
Like the first campaign, the recent observations will help scientists measure the velocity of fast-moving glaciers, detect land-ice motion and develop new elevation models over flat terrain. The new data will also help to identify natural carbon sources and sinks in the Kazakh Steppe and wetlands in permafrost regions.

Lots of comments on the stats in yesterday's blockbuster post. Here's some additional data and other responses:
First, the source for most of this data is Box Office Mojo. My spreadsheet of underlying data is here. As always, if you've got a better/different analysis, please post it and I'll link to it.
Second, some of you wanted more detail on the blockbuster share of box office data. Here it is, year by year, with a linear regression to show the trend:
Third, many of you noted that domestic theatrical revenues are now just a minority share of most films' business, which is true. But it's a very good proxy for how those other businesses will do, because how well a film does in theaters heavily influences how well it will do in DVD and abroad. In other words, it's a safe bet that the directional trends of blockbusters as a percentage of the overall business that we're seeing in theaters are showing up in those other markets, too.
Finally, Nat Dykeman queries my assertion that there's more music out there than ever before.
During the same time that labels were crying that people were downloading their cds, and revenue was down 8%, they were quietly cutting the number of cds produced by up to 20%. Personally, I think if you cut your expenses by 20%, and your sales drop 8%, you're doing better than before.
Another example of seeing the world through the lens of the music labels, I'm afraid. MySpace has hundreds of thousands of tracks that were never released by music labels, CD Baby has many thousands of bands who have never been signed, and likewise for the peer-to-peer networks. It's not clear whether Nat is referring to the number of CDs manufactured for each band or the number of bands signed and released. Obviously the former isn't meaningful in this discussion, and I've addressed the latter above.
Just to repeat, most bands aren't signed to major labels. Now that there are ways other than the labels to distribute music, such as those I've mention above, that's no longer a barrier to finding an audience. That's why there's more music than ever out there, even as the music industry--defined narrowly as the labels--shrinks.

Here's a fun idea for all your creative and inspired K-Kids: Create a shoebox float.
Decorated in themes associated with The Eliminate Project, these floats will be presented at the Kiwanis International Convention in New Orleans in June where they'll compete for recognition as 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. But all entries will be winning efforts because working on these floats will help educate K-Kids and others about maternal and neonatal tetanus and our effort to eliminate it from the face of the Earth.

Though he didn't say it, that beach likely won't allow e-cigarettes, either.
On Friday, the City Council approved a ban on the smoking of electronic cigarettes pretty much everywhere regular cigarettes are banned—restaurants, bars, parks, the office. Electronic smokers will now join the others puffing outside on breaks.
The measure, backed, of course, by Bloomberg, follows another move last month to increase the smoking age in New York City from 18- to 21-years-old.
Certainly, the verdict is still out on e-cigarettes—questions remain on their effectiveness in helping people quit smoking or if they pose a danger for second-hand smokers. And New York City is not the only place to consider a ban—a similar measure was considered, though failed, in Chicago.
But this is less about e-cigarettes and more about Bloomberg's legacy. The guy will be at it until midnight on the 31st. He doesn't seem able to leave City Hall behind before fighting, one last time, to slip another "nanny" measure through City Council and onto the people of New York.
But that is Bloomberg's legacy—who he is and what he does. Bloomberg has, for more than a decade, pushed through any policy he thinks best, which in turn, means what he thinks is best for New Yorkers.
E-cigarettes and the soda ban are punch lines of his administration, but he has taken on more serious issues from stop-and-frisk to term limits. But agree or disagree with his stances, Bloomberg has been with us for so long we forget that this is rarity in politics. He rarely flip-flops. He's unapologetic for who he is, and what he wants to accomplish.
That can be frustrating to the constituents he is supposed to serve, without a doubt. But even when New Yorkers are disgruntled with him, we never doubt were he stands.
Bloomberg wants it that way. Plus he still thinks you'll thank him later—and probably want to join him on that small-soda, nonsmoking beach.

Rotterdam - Defending champion Roger Federer suffered a shock 6-3 7-5 defeat by Frenchman Julien Benneteau, who has yet to lift a tour title during his 13-year career, in the World Indoor Tournament quarter-finals on Friday.
The top seed struggled throughout with his first serve and was broken three times in the opening set.
Benneteau, 31, broke again early in the second set before the world number two, backed by a capacity crowd of 10,500, broke back.
Federer had chances to break again in the 11th game but world number 39 Benneteau managed to hold him off before clinching victory on his first match point as a backhand pass from the Swiss went out.
"If you lose your serve five times, like I did today, you can't win indoors," Federer told reporters. "Julien played great, created more chances than I did and fully deserved to win.
"I fought back at the end of the second set and had chances to take it into a third but that would have been more luck than I deserved."
Benneteau next meets fellow countryman Gilles Simon who put out Martin Klizan when the Slovakian retired through injury while trailing 6-7 6-3 3-0.
"This is a really good win and I am pleased with the way I played today," said Benneteau.
World number seven Juan Martin Del Potro stayed on course for his second successive appearance in the final by sweeping aside Finn Jarkko Nieminen 6-3 6-4.
The Argentine, beaten in last year's final by Federer, will play Grigor Dimitrov in the last four after the Bulgarian came from behind to defeat Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis 6-7 7-6 6-3 in a thriller.
"There are no easy matches here," said Del Potro. "Nieminen played some excellent forehands on important points and I had to stick to my game plan and be patient."
The 21-year-old Dimitrov looked down and out when he trailed 6-5 in the second set but he then reeled off 18 consecutive points to level the match, including taking the tiebreak 7-0, before going on to reach his final indoor semi-final.
"I can't remember ever scoring 18 straight points before and I didn't even notice it during the match," said the Bulgarian.

Generative vs reductive
Friday, 06 February, 2009 - 08:04
Further to the attraction of Ian Bogost's definiton of system and unit operations, which are each respectively top-down and bottom-up tools of analysis, is the fact that the unit operation he articulates is procedural rather than descriptive.
So just as structuralist analysis is reductionist while post-structuralist analysis is productive, so system operations are like 'black box' simplifications, while unit operations are transformative and generative. Not unlike the comparison between scientific and metaphorical ways of thinking I described a while back in terms of understanding the lives and evolution of cities.
Systems and Units, Trees and Rhizomes
Thursday, 05 February, 2009 - 21:56
So I'm writing up the final lecture on narratives which revolves around the post-structuralist 'decentring' - the advocation, that is, of thinking of rhizomatic rather than arborescent structures.
A couple of weeks ago I was using the idea with some first years, and thinking of the idea in terms of genre: genre is not a 'container' into which you place texts which then 'become' vampire road movies or rom-coms. As soon as you think in terms of genre being a particular instantiation of intertextuality, you've seen the contingent, mutable, anti-foundational, endlessly defered nature of the post-structuralist vision, and the impoverished kind of simplistic absolutism it dismissed in systems-level, structuralist thinking.
Today I found another useful way of thinking about the subject (perhaps because I'm currently seeing it everywhere!) in Ian Bogost's book, Unit Operations, in which he explores Badiou's articulation of 'count as one' and 'the situation', analogous in some ways to 'extensional' and 'intensional' sets; the latter, intensional, from Frege and Russell's top-down, analytic philosophy in which objects are collected by definition (like the container model of the genre); the former, extensional, is instead a conception of a 'multiplicity' whose collection together is a bottom-up operation (like the formation of generic convention through intertextual echoes): the properties of the collection are observed and articulated, rather than defined and imposed. Properties and behaviours observed through induction, rather than calculated through deduction.
Of course, this idea of the 'extensional' set is convenient for me precisely because it emphasises the emergent nature of spontaneous assemblage (a word I will certainly be exploring more very soon, a la Latour, Graham Harman, etc), rather than the authoritarian nature of systematic organisation. Think of it, in cinema terms, as the difference between coming up with an 'outlier' indie box office hit which is ground-breaking and innovative, and the follow-up derivatives that a corporate industry will produce in order to capitalise on the newly defined market. Or think of it as an autonomously organised grouping of common-interest bloggers who speak to each other in ways that outsiders can understand and join in with, and launching a peer-reviewed journal on the same common-interest which renders the intellectual endeavour exclusive and impenetrable.
On a sideways-related note, I mean to take Graham Harman's advice and write more in order to write more. Actually, I already have, in terms of writing a good fifteen thousand words last week producing the lecture notes for lectures three, four and five of the first year undergraduate Narratives strand which I've just finished teaching. Hence the final, rhizomatic essay I have to squeeze out as soon as it'll pass through my constricted ability to talk about Bocaccio, Icarus and digital Messiahs in the same piece of long-form writing.
My colleague Kip Jones also sent me a copy of a recent conversation between himself and Mary Gergen about communicating social science research through performative and artistic forms, which in turn, represents an undermining of the authoritative, arborescent academic expert who deals in objective knowledge, and the collaborative, rhizomatic, ambiguous nature of dialogue and interpretation. It's interesting, and, more importantly, NOT hidden behind a paywall, an Athens-only login, or a institutional-subscription model journal. Find it here, thanks Kip.

Slavin, a senior soccer player, will be joining the Up2Us Coach Across America program through efforts by East Coast Conference Commissioner Dr. Robert Dranoff, who secured National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) funding to provide career development for one student-athlete in the conference.
"I'm passionate about sports, because it's been a constant variable in my life that has given me great self-confidence," said Slavin. "As a child, and even now, sports were a way for me to feel as if I had a purpose and gave me importance."
The Up2Us Coach Across America program is a nationwide initiative supporting a workforce of coaches who focus on positive youth development through sports. Currently, Up2Us places 260 coaches, the only program of its kind to provide AmeriCorps coaches in over 100 disadvantaged communities across the country.
Slavin will be working with young people through America SCORES New York, a nonprofit organization based in Manhattan that strives to empower students in urban communities using soccer, writing, creative expression, and service-learning, inspiring them to lead healthy lifestyles. She said that she is looking forward to the experience.
"I am so passionate simply because I am my happiest when I am active and playing sports," Slavin said. "Plain and simple, sports make me smile, and I believe every child deserves the chance to smile."

It has come to my attention that some people do not believe that Donald J. Trump has done anything for which he should be impeached, convicted, and thrown out of office. Maybe those people are confused by the phrase used in the Constitution for reasons for impeachment and conviction: high crimes and misdemeanors. That isnt how it would be put these days, but high crimes means felonies or major crimes, but the term misdemeanor has not significantly changed over the years, and it still means lesser
In Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livius, Niccolò Machiavelli went on at some length about how elders have been complaining about the younger generation and younger people have been complaining about the elders for thousands of years. His thought was that the degeneration was exaggerated, because humanity would have fallen into savagery long ago if the generations were progressively that degenerate. Or I might have made that up to try to make Machiavelli look even better. But even the
Recently the idea of taxing billionaires out of existence was brought up by Elizabeth Warren as part of her run for president. She wants to use the proceeds from this tax to fund her idea of Medicare for everyone, so she thinks that a tax that discriminates against some people is a good idea, even though it would be a statutory taking and a violation of due process. Such ideas have come up in the past, but the basic problem with it still is that removing the incentive to be successful will stop

Its too early to predict a winner in the 2020 presidential election with much confidence, but a few things have happened recently that provide some reasonable ideas. In early October, the Dems had another debate, and the alleged pundits think that Elizabeth Warren came off the winner, and Biden was in second, but Lizzie has since then come out with her 70 trillion dollar medical insurance plan, and Biden continues to plug along. I get the impression that Sanders is seen as falling, and the munchkins
Today (mon. 10/28/2019) I had a conversation about the 2020 presidential election. Over the weekend, Trump was booed and treated to the chant "Lock him up" at a World Series game. I recalled how I had thought a few years ago that 2020 may look a lot like 1860, when it comes to the presidential election. The person I was talking with agreed. Then we tried to figure out who the four major candidates will be. I don't recall who we determined on, but we didn't have confidence in the choices,

During the process of making your dress, Marisela advises you on how to complete your look. Here are some of the questions she gets asked:
If you are unsure of what colour heels to wear, the best choice is to go for a black, silver or nude heel. However, you can add a pop of colour to your look and choose a funky bright shoe.
Hairstyles depend on your event location and the neckline of your dress. For example, if you don't want to hide any detail on the back neckline or show off a naked back, then an upstyle or side style would be great.
Less is more. If your dress has a lot of detail, especially on the bust line, your neck should be naked. If your dress is simple, jewellery is a must, taking neckline and design into consideration.

According to a key finding in Managing Human Capital Risk, a 2011 report by The Conference Board, corporate boards are very interested in moving human capital risk out of the shadows and into enterprise-wide risk discussions, with heightened calls for CHRO engagement at the board level.
How well are CHROs at engaging at the board-level? Practice results remain mixed, judging by reviews from board governance processes. This webcast explores ways boards are designing structures, processes, and HR representation to address strategic issues. It also poses questions board members need to consider to assure successful senior HR leadership management.

RE-RUNPublisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes
Dear PCH. I am not naive. I didn't believe it for a minute. I did not fall for your teasing when the first three letters arrived.
I have now received 1708 letters, 2,302 likes on Facebook and 441,780 emails stating that I may be a 10 million-dollar winner.
You hounded me, sending me secret special numbers that no one else had ( I felt so superior), stating that no purchase was necessary,although those little star windows where my magazine order showed through, obviously was to warn me that if nothing showed, the envelope was spat upon, burned and flushed down the toilet. Whew, that was a long sentence.
I haven't budged except to walk 2 feet to my mailbox. It is not as if I went out to by a lottery ticket. I was not the aggressor this time. You courted me.
Listen to me. You are not dealing with a kid. I am cynical, been around the block Jan. But even the most wary among us, would start fantasizing.
By the 19th letter, I was seduced. I practiced my twang for my appearances on TV knowing you would definitely ring my chimes. I have practiced jumping up and down and saying real slowly. 'I-cain't-bu leeve-ah-wun!"
Let me reiterate; I didn't contact you. You contacted me. Even though I was originally skeptical, after a while, I became a believer. I trusted you. This is the longest foreplay in the history of life (and while the fantasy is pleasurable) there's still no satisfying conclusion.
So yes, I started returning your correspondence and just to sort of guarantee that you'd look at my particular envelope I ordered a magazine or two and then five and 27 and after I ordered every magazine every printed in the US of A and a couple from third world countries I started on the specialty supplements, "DECORATING WITH EGGBOXES," "WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM PELICANS," "MY FRIEND, MY FUNGUS,"
True, I could be fun at cocktail parties with this information, but I cannot leave the premises, I must to be here when the money arrives. This has caused life-altering changes for our whole country and to me, personally.
I haven't left my home to be with my lover. He is very tense and is yelling at all his employees, who then go home and yell at their families who scream at the service people and thus wars start. How do you feel about that, Dave at PCH!
My children feel neglected because I haven't called to nag them. You know you simply cannot leave nagging to strangers.
My postman (May he rest in peace) threw himself in front of his jeep because I called him a few times in the middle of the night asking, "Is it here yet?"
Stores are totally out of wheelbarrows since I bought their complete supply to carry my winnings to bank
The banks are going under since they were depending upon my deposit to buy property to give real estate a boost. Did we cause the current economic slowdown?
The very most horrific part of all was the people counting on me whose lives were put on hold because of my vows. All my friends and family were going to be financially free forever since I was going to give them all a bundle.
I was donating most of the loot to the Cancer Association, Brain Tumor Association and Nordstrom's half-yearly sale.
Okay, I am no angel. I was going to buy stuff for myself, some Armani suits, a few Donna Karan's and a Mac, the computer, not that guy Mac, since that would be illegal. I was going to trade my l5 year old sports car for a newer one. See, I had daydreams too.
I thought I was so realistic and beyond those types of reveries but I guess the truth is; I am easy. 1708 promises and I am ready to submit. Hear that fellas!
Enough is enough. I want my money now.
I caint ba leeve ah wun! I caint ba leeve ah wun!

The Mayon volcano in the Philippines has erupted nearly 40 times in 400 years, and it looks primed to go off again. This NASA satellite image shows a small plume of ash or steam blowing west from its summit.
The authorities have already evacuated everyone living within an eight-kilometer radius, as small earthquakes, glowing lava at the peak, and falling ash created fears that the volcano was going to erupt once again. According to NASA:
On the evening of December 14, the local volcano observatory raised the alert level to Level 3, which means "magma is close to the crater and hazardous explosive eruption is imminent."
This natural-color image of Mayon was captured on December 15, 2009, by the Advanced Land Imager on NASA's Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite. A small plume of ash and/or steam is blowing west from the summit. Dark-colored lava or debris flows from previous eruptions streak the flanks of the mountain. A ravine on the southeast slope is occupied by a particularly prominent lava or debris flow.
According to local news reports from December 16, fragments of lava were continuously detaching from the lava filing the crater and cascading down slope up to 3 kilometers. Lava flows reached several hundred meters from the summit, but they were still confined to ravines.

We're approaching one of those paradigm shifts again. Knowledge of functional programming (FP) is on the verge of becoming a must-have skill. Now, we're not talking about a shift on the scale of the tectonic movement that object-oriented programming brought on. Functional programming has been around since the creation of LISP in 1958 and hasn't taken over application development, nor is it about to. FP won't make your word processing program faster or better. But there are domains where it is highly useful, and in particular FP looks like the paradigm of choice for unlocking the power of multicore processors. Functional programming languages are ideally suited to, as one developer succinctly puts it, "solving the multicore problem."
Which is a big deal, because the chipmakers have essentially said that the job of enforcing Moore's Law is now a software problem. They will concentrate on putting more and more cores on a die, and it's up to you to recraft your software to take advantage of the parallel-processing capabilities of their chips.
And that means that there are real benefits in becoming proficient in parallel functional programming, and, as will be argued momentarily, that means functional programming. The bad news? Getting good at functional programming is hard, harder than moving from iterative Pascal or Basic or C coding to object-oriented development. It's an exaggeration but a useful one: When you move to FP, all your algorithms break.
FP: What It Is
Most modern programming languages, including object-oriented languages, are imperative: A program is essentially a list of instructions intended to be executed in order. Functional programming languages derive from the declarative style branch of the language tree, where there need be no explicit flow of control. This branch bifurcates further, with one branch leading to the logic-flavored languages, primarily Prolog, and one branch leading to the functional languages, the prime historical example being Lisp. Lisp and many other FP languages are based on, and are essentially implementations of, Alonzo Church's lambda calculus, a formal model for computation.
Two defining features of functional languages are that all computations are treated as the evaluation of a function and that functional language programs avoid state and mutable data. Every variable is really a constant. You can't change the state of anything, and no function can have side effects, which is the reason why FP is ideal for distributing algorithms over multiple cores. You never have to worry about some other thread modifying a memory location where you've stored some value. You don't have to bother with locks and deadlocks and race conditions and all that mess. Some companies, Ericsson, for example, are making good money exploiting this virtue of functional programming.
This is too good to be true, of course. No side effects means no I/O, for example. You can't really do anything if you can't modify any values or change state. Yet it can be shown that the lambda calculus is equivalent to a Turing machine, so you must be able to perform calculations using FP. How?
The answer is that FP languages store state in function parametersthat is, on the stack. They also cheat when it's practical to do so, breaking the pure FP paradigm in carefully controlled ways. Monads are one such trick: Impure functions that have side effects and that can call pure FP functions but can't be called by them.
That other defining feature? Everything is a function. When I learned Lisp, my professor taught that no program should be longer than three lines, four in a pinch. The idea is that the entire program is one function, and that this function simply calls two or three other functions that, if they existed, would do the job. Then you write those functions, and the functions they require, until eventually you are writing exclusively in primitive functions, at which point you're done.
In any functional programming language, you are likely to encounter these features:
- First-class functions, or higher-order functions: Functions can serve as arguments and results of functions.
- Recursion as the primary tool for iteration.
- Heavy use of pattern matching, although technically it is not a defining feature of FP.
- Lazy evaluation, which makes possible the creation of infinite sequences and other data structures.
Here's the canonical example of a functional program, the factorial function, in Haskell:
factorial n = if n > 0 then n * factorial (n-1) else 1

Choo ready for challenge with Rangers
After signing big deal in December, outfielder confident he can be catalyst for Texas
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo will be the second player from South Korea to ever play for the Rangers.
Most Rangers fans remember the first player. They also likely remember that pitcher Chan Ho Park's four years in Texas were not what the Rangers expected. Not even close. It was a tough time for both Park and the Rangers.
But Choo still sought Park's counsel before and after he signed his seven-year, $130 million contract with the Rangers in December.
"He told me he wanted to play good here, but he was hurt," Choo said. "Everybody wants to play good, but you're hurt, you can't do anything. It's just a hard time. So after I signed with Texas, he said, 'Choo, please play better here.' He said, 'Choo, please play well, but I enjoyed the Texas Rangers.'"
Choo and Park, who signed a five-year, $65 million contract in 2001 with the Rangers, play different positions, but their situations are similar beyond being from the same country. The Rangers spent big money because they wanted Park to fill the specific need of being their No. 1 starter. That didn't quite work out so well, and now they have signed Choo to be the No. 1 hitter in their lineup.
The Rangers weren't happy with an offense that scored 78 fewer runs last season than the year before, and they needed a leadoff hitter after trading Ian Kinsler to the Tigers for power-hitting first baseman Prince Fielder. The Rangers expect Choo to take over as the leadoff hitter and be a big reason why their offense will be better this season.
"I'm human, so I probably put a little bit of pressure on myself," Choo said Friday. "People will maybe think about better numbers, but as I said earlier, if you try too much, you hurt yourself by over-swinging and over-playing. So I think it will be a challenge for me the next seven years, starting this year. But I like challenges. I talk to myself: 'Choo, you play Shin-Soo Choo style.' So it's my goal to be healthy and play every day, and that's how good things happen."
There is much to like about Choo, a left-handed hitter who can play all three outfield positions. His .389 career on-base percentage is sixth best among active players with 2,000 plate appearances, he has hit at least 20 home runs in three of the last five seasons and he has stolen at least 20 bases in four of the last five.
Choo is also 31, he has been on the disabled list three times in the past four years and he plays a physically demanding position. As Carl Crawford, Vernon Wells, Matt Kemp, Jayson Werth and others have shown, big contracts for outfielders come with inherent risk. Right now, Choo's annual average salary of $18,571,429 is the eighth highest ever for an outfielder, and it has seven years to run.
"I have confidence," Choo said. "Texas trusted me and gave me a seven-year deal. I'll pay back, take care of my body and keep it in good shape where I'll be able to play every day. A lot of people ask me, 'Choo, you have a good contract, how do you feel?'
"But I feel the same. I'm the same person, I do the same routine every day, same approach. I just [play my game] and keep my same approach and good things will happen."
Choo has also struggled against left-handed pitching the past two years with a .207 batting average, a .332 on-base percentage and a .276 slugging percentage against southpaws. In 2008-11, he hit a combined .271 with a .349 on-base percentage and a .393 slugging percentage against lefties.
"The last two years I have had a tough time against left-handed pitchers. I was just not really good, but still I can hit," Choo said. "I'm not worried about it, just things change a little bit and I'll be fine."
He showed the ability to make adjustments last season in his ability to handle two-strike and full-count situations. Choo went into the season with a career .181 average and .280 on-base percentage with two strikes. He was also a .212 hitter with a .486 on-base percentage with the count full.
Choo emphasized being better in both situations last year, especially trying to lay off bad pitches outside the zone. The result was raising his two-strike average to .206 with a .348 on-base percentage and his full-count average to .279 with a .581 on-base percentage. He saw 4.23 pitches per plate appearance, eighth best in the Majors.
"Last year, I was in leadoff spot the whole year, so I want to do something, change my two-strike approach, and it worked very well," Choo said. "Yeah, I don't try to see a lot of pitches, but I could say last year, I had a way better approach after two strikes. That's why I saw a lot of pitches."
The Rangers need for that to continue this season.
"What has always impressed me about Choo is the way he goes about his business," manager Ron Washington said. "The guy has a passion for his craft. I'm going to write his name in there as leadoff hitter. I'm going to sink or swim with him in the leadoff spot, it doesn't matter if it's against left-handers, right-handers or three-armed guys."
That's all Washington can do after the Rangers made such a sizable commitment to a productive player playing a demanding position.

Reform Club ~ Information for Visitors
Tours of the Clubhouse
The Reform Club allows reasonable access to the public to view its historic and architectural features, art collection, furniture and artefacts.

Alcoholic Who Stole, Got Drunk on $5 Bottles of Church Wine Gets Probation
Alcoholic Who Stole, Got Drunk on $5 Bottles of Church Wine Gets Probation
A 21-year-old alcoholic prison inmate from Lancaster County, Pa., who broke into a Catholic church four times last year and was caught drunk on $5 bottles of sacramental wine was given three years' probation for his crime by a local judge on Monday.
According to a Lancaster Online report, Miguel A. Colon, who was homeless when he broke into the St. Anthony of Padua Church on four separate occasions over a month last summer, will have to find a stable home address as part of a prison-approved plan before he can be paroled.
"He was intoxicated when he went in the church and was even more so when he got out," Colon's defense attorney, James Gratton, reportedly said in court. "This is all about significant alcohol issues."
In an interview with The Christian Post on Tuesday, Sharon Ickes, secretary of the church, said Colon who has already served nine months in prison, didn't steal many bottles of wine.
"He only stole like one or two bottles at a time," she said while noting she was surprised he got drunk because the "wine is not that strong."
Judge Howard Knisely, who issued the probation order warned Colon that the leniency he was shown in court could be the last opportunity to turn his life around.
"This may be your last opportunity to get your act together," the judge noted. "All you need is the guts to do it for yourself."
Father Daniel Mitzel of St. Anthony of Padua commented to CP, "We are glad that he got into the system and is getting the help that he needs. We had no idea who was doing it or what type of reasons there might be and so it makes it a little bit more understandable as far as the situation of the alcoholism."
Colon reportedly broke into the church between late July and early September 2012.
"All for the same goal," Gratton said in court. "That is stealing and drinking the sacramental wine."
Police reportedly found Colon "very intoxicated, inside the church on one occasion." He was captured on surveillance cameras in another of the break-ins.
After the second incident, the church which usually stored the wine in their refrigerator were forced to lock up the libation.
Colon, who eventually confessed to the crime, thanked the judge for the probation gesture.
"Whatever I'm sentenced to, I still thank you," he said. "Because I did my crime. There's no turning back. I did what I did."
The church secretary confirmed on Tuesday that they had their electrical experts install surveillance cameras and lighting after the first three break-ins.
They even went as far as posting a sign on one of their windows saying "Perpetrator enter here."
"We didn't want him to break anymore windows but he went to the other side and broke another one," said Ickes.
"It was so disheartening," Mitzel commented. "It was three mornings in such a condensed time period to do a walk around the church hoping that everything's fine. For most of my years it has been; to have that morning after morning and just that vulnerability."
Mitzel said while the windows broken were not elaborate stained glass windows they were historical and have a beauty to them nonetheless.
"It's a little humorous at least for us. Some of the parishioners who come to daily mass were saying to me, 'father just put a bottle of the church wine outside the door, you know. Save the windows for us.' And there seemed to be some rationality to that but when we found out who it was and he was only 20, I could have been charged myself in some ways making wine available to somebody under 21."
The break-ins cost the church more than $1,000 in damage due mainly to the broken windows and Colon was ordered to pay for the damage he caused.
The remorseful man reportedly told the judge, "I want to change my life," before he was removed from the courtroom by deputy sheriffs.

Hey guys, Just finished wiring these up and it was really quite easy. The first thing I did was find the factory plug for the actual switch to the left of the steering column. I have no idea if the plug came standard on all models or if you are wiring the switch up from scratch, either way, we can work out what needs to go where.
On my particular car, I'll tell you what wire colors I had but here's the schematic I used as a guide too. This was gotten from the USDM wiring diagrams manual at this link:http://www.aeu86.org/technical/ae86-manuals/
After I had the plug I began testing the power wires to see if I was going to have to run power. Luckily, everything checked out. The Blue/Black wire, Pin 1, should show +12v when the ignition is on. If it doesn't, run a fused +12v IGN wire and connect it to the plug meaning cut the blue/black wire a few inches down from the plug and connect it to the plug side so it goes into the switch. Pin 2 should be a ground. I checked this by checking continuity with a multimeter to metal and it was good. Again, if you're wiring from scratch or don't get a good ground, cut the wire a few inches down and connect a ground to the plug side (Post any questions if you don't know how to make a ground). Once these wires check out or are connected you have Power. All that's left is connecting the mirror motors.
I started with the mirror's themselves. Your mirror should have 3 wires that go to a female plug. I'm going to assume that everyone has at least these plugs.
If not, again just put up a post and I'll give you the wire colors I have on my mirrors. From there I was also given this extension for the door:
It has a male end that connects to the mirror's female plug and then a female end on the other end that is identical to the end coming out of the mirror. There are three colors when looking at this female end from left to right, pins on bottom:
Pin 1-Red/Green
Pin 2-Red/Blue
Pin 3-Red
This extension puts the plug in an easy spot to disconnect at the bottom of the door in case I ever needed to pull the door.
So now in both doors I have these plugs at the bottom of the door and I'm ready to run some wires. Again, since I had some extra parts, I used 2 more female plugs that these could plug into and I'll be soldering my wires to them so that it's an easy plug and play type ordeal (You can see the plug in the picture above). I started with the passenger side mirror first. Using 18 gauge wire, I measured 3 wires to go from the plug to the passenger door with a little extra on each end to allow for twisting and running with factory wire. I didn't take any pictures of this but I'd say the passenger side was between 3-4 feet long and the driver was only about 2 feet long. After I had the wires cut even to length, I tied them to something stationary. I used my dash that was out of the car at the time but you can use a screw or pole, really anything.
I then put the ends on the other side into my drill and tightened down on them with the chuck. Once in the drill, keeping the wires taught with whatever you have them tied to, I slowly began winding them up. This gives the wires a nice look, makes them easy to run, and keeps them together. The finished product should look like this:
You can look up on youtube 'how to twist wires with a drill' if you don't get what I'm saying here. You can see I used 3 separate colors for this: Red, Black, and White. You can use whatever you have obviously just make sure you keep track of what's connected to what. From here I soldered on the male plug that was going into the door to plug into the extension. I chose to run the wire colors like this:
Red-Red (Pin 3)
Black-Red/Blue (Pin 2)
White-Red/Green (Pin 1)
You can use heat shrink or tape to cover these connections, I use heat shrink excessively just because I think it looks cleaner so I used 1/8" shrink on each of these then used 1/4" heat shrink to bundle them together. This is the finished look of the plug to wire connections:
Repeat this process for the Driver side as well.
From there I just had to run the wires through the door jams up with the factory wiring to the mirror switch. I had the dash off already so getting it ran clean was a breeze:
So now you should have 6 wires ran to the plug and you just need to connect them to the factory switch. For these connections I cut the wires and then connected them to the switch side with solder and then used heat shrink to cover it. So as not to confuse anyone with wire colors, I'm only going to use the factory plugs wire colors to describe what connects where. Take both Mirror sides Red/Blue(Pin 2) wires and connect them to the Brown/Red(Pin 3) wire off of the switch:
Next for the passenger side, connect the Red wire(Pin 3) to the Red wire(Pin 5) on the switch plug and the Red/Green wire(Pin 1) to the Red/Green wire(Pin 4) on the switch:
For the Driver side, Connect the Red wire(Pin 3) from the mirror to the Blue wire(Pin 6) at the switch. Connect the Red/Green wire(Pin 1) to the Light Green wire(Pin 7) at the switch:
Everything is now connected and you can test it. Turn the car on and make sure it all works. Because I'm picky, I pulled the pins out of the switch plug and through on another layer of heat shrink to keep the bundle together:
You can use tape too if you don't dig heat shrink. I then put the pins back in and cleaned up the harness with some fresh tape:
One less headache to worry about! If there's anything unclear to you in this write up of you have questions, just ask. Hope this helps everyone!

Proper began as a feeling, not as an idea. The feeling was something akin to empathy; an acute awareness that despite the current proliferation of "boutique" and "lifestyle" hotels and residences, there were precious few properties designed for and around today's global creative nomad. Many in our milieu share the same daunting challenge: staying fresh and focused, energized and inspired—all whilst bouncing between London and Hollywood and Austin and San Francisco and Portland and back again. For them, intuitive service is a given. Mere table stakes. What they need and seek beyond accommodation, even at its most luxurious, is an inspiration. From the elevated and often surprising interiors imagined by Kelly Wearstler. From the sense of immersion in, and connection to, the vibrancy of the local culture. From the highly curated amenities. From the inspired collaborations with the city's best and most innovative chefs and mixologists. From music and art. From every detail, every interaction, every moment. This is only Proper. And no one else.

When He took them on His knee,
Jesus blessed the tiny babies
And the children just like me.
2. Jesus healed the sick and broken.

Jesus taught with gentle kindness,
Gave His life for you and me.
Jesus is my loving Friend;

Got Snake to work with the IPB Arcade setting, but no luck with the other two. It looks like the forum you snagged them from is vbulletin? Do they successfully submit the scores on there?
