EVANS, Ga. - Second-seed UNC Pembroke (17-1-1) got a pair of second half goals and held off a late charge by No. 3 seed Georgia College & State University (13-2-4) in a 2-1 win in the first Peach Belt Conference women's semifinal game Friday (Nov. 7). UNCP advances to Sunday's championship contest, while GCSU will await word on a possible post-season NCAA Regional bid.
The game was a scoreless draw through the first 45 minutes. UNCP was able to get off 13 shots in the opening period with Bobcat keeper Mary Rob Plunkett (Augusta, Ga.) collecting six saves. Georgia College fired six times at Braves keeper Whitney Beverly, who collected one save.
The deadlock remained until an unusual play in the 63rd minute. UNCP had a throw in deep in Bobcat territory near the corner. A long throw was played into the box and deflected by a defender. The ball was bobbled by Plunkett and rolled past her far enough for an own goal and a 1-0 UNCP lead.
The Braves quickly added their second score in a more conventional way. Nisa Akins fed a rolling pass deep into Bobcat territory and Britney Joiner ran it down, and sliding a shot to the far left corner for a 2-1 lead at the 64:41 mark.
Georgia College got on the board in the 88th minute as Daria Owen (Snellville, Ga.) placed a corner kick into the box and found the forehead of Tawny Moffat (Peachtree City, Ga.) beating Beverly for the score and the 2-1 finish.
For the game UNCP held a slim 19-18 advantage in shots. Beverly collected five saves in the game, while Plunkett knocked away seven shots. Georgia College led in corner kicks by a 5-2 margin. GCSU committed eight fouls to five for UNCP.
The Bobcats, entering the tournament as the No. 4 ranked team in the region, await the NCAA Tournament selection, hoping for an at-large bid.
The GCSU Department of Athletics sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Goaltender John Dugas will be a key to the reloading efforts at Hill-Murray this winter (Photo by Helen Nelson).
1. Burnsville at Hill-Murray
Hockey Hub Spotlight Game
FSN PrepZone Webcast
When two programs with storied hockey traditions decide to square off in the opening week of the Minnesota high school season, what do we get? Great hockey to begin the Hockey Hub's slate of Spotlight Games as Burnsville invades Aldrich Arena to face Hill-Murray on Thursday, Nov. 29.
Hill-Murray's Zach LaValle returns for a fourth season on the Pioneers' varsity as the leading scorer. Photo by Helen Nelson
Both teams are ranked in the preseason top-10 rankings in Class 2A (Hill-Murray at No. 6 and Burnsville at No. 7), yet both are facing challenges this season.
The Pioneers enjoyed a great playoff run last season, advancing all the way to the Class 2A state championship game before being felled by Benilde-St. Margaret's, 5-1. Coach Bill Lechner's team had a good mix of experienced seniors and talented underclassmen, which gave the Pioneers hope of continuing its 35-year run of excellence even with graduation losses that included Mr. Hockey finalist Charlie Sampair.
But in the offseason, Hill-Murray also lost three regulars to early departures (leading scorer Jake Guentzel, rugged defenseman Blake Heinrich and Jim Tich, who provided depth at forward). Suddenly, the Pioneers were in all-out reloading mode.
But at Hill-Murray, which has 25 state tournament trips and three state titles since 1975, that's exactly what it is. Reloading. Never rebuilding.
"We lost some graduating seniors and some players leaving early to pursue their different roads, but the players returning believe in the complete package of Hill-Murray and will be ready to represent their team again," said Lechner.
Senior Zach LaValle (28-36-64) knows about the Pioneer way as he's entering his fourth year as a regular and second as a team captain. He's a great leader who will help power the offense along with junior sniper Willie Brown (17-17-34), Tyler Funk (5-6-11), Zach Mills (3-3-6) and Shattuck-St. Mary's transfer Mitch Slattery.
Defensively, the Pioneers remain solid thanks to players such as seniors Sam Becker (4-12-16) and Dan Dolan (0-3-3), junior Logan Sharp (2-2-4) and sophomore Davis Zarembinski (1-8-9). In goal, John Dugas (18-6-1, 2.27, .903) is a veteran influence who has great technical skills.

Burnsville has also long been recognized as a state power, yet the Blaze have only qualified for one state tournament in the last two decades (2007), largely because of the presence of Section 2AA powerhouses such as Edina, Bloomington Jefferson and Holy Angels. The Blaze have consistently produced talented teams throughout that span but must find a way to get past that bottleneck.
Coach Janne Kivihalme's team returns half a dozen players from last year's 17-victory squad that gave Edina a run in the Section 2AA final, including speedy junior forward Tyler Sheehy (21-28-49) and junior defensemen Teemu Kivihalme (9-22-31).
Teemu, who is Janne's son, has committed to play at Colorado College. Sheehy is also a top Division I prospect. They will anchor their respective units, as will goaltenders Chris Mallon (12-7-1, 2.55, .916) and Nic Anderson (5-3-0, 3.89, .855).
But it's how the Blaze fill in behind them from the JV and Bantam graduates that will determine how strong Burnsville will be this winter.
"You want to have secondary scoring and scoring by all three lines," Kivihalme said. "By the end of the year, you want to have everybody contributing, so other teams can't just focus on your top line but have to worry about the second, third and even fourth line providing offense."
Kivihalme expects a breakout year from junior forward Anthony Rikberg (5-8-13) after an injury-plagued campaign as a sophomore. But beyond Sheehy and Rikberg, it's an inexperienced forward crew.
On defense, the Blaze are more veteran with Kivihalme, senior Dan Ames (4-8-12) and junior Sam Dockry (0-5-5). Sophomore Jack Ahcan could also break into the lineup as a mobile defenseman with good puck movement skills.
The winner of Thursday's game certainly should get a boost to its reloading efforts, although based on past history, it would be unwise to count either out at season's end.

2. Holy Family Catholic at Edina (Hockey Hub Spotlight Game)
It's a terrific showdown at Braemar Arena that helps drop the puck on the opening day of the Minnesota high school hockey season, featuring the perennially powerful Edina squad against the rising Holy Family Catholic program. And with arguably the top two underclassmen in the state -- Hornets' junior Connor Hurley and Fire sophomore Shane Gersich -- the game is interesting on an individual level, as well. Edina has been picked by many as not only a favorite in Section 2AA, but as a probable state championship contender. The Hornets have a revered program with few weaknesses: a deep forward lineup, veteran defensemen and goaltender Willie Benjamin. Holy Family Catholic is a newcomer that made the jump to Class 2A last year and has challenged itself with a tough schedule, including this game, in the hopes of rising to Edina's level.
3. Rochester Lourdes at St. Thomas Academy
Two of the best teams in Class 1A bump heads in the season's opening week with two-time defending champion St. Thomas Academy hosting Rochester Lourdes. The Cadets are an overwhelming favorite to make it three straight state titles this winter -- and would allow goaltender David Zevnik to join some heady company if he starts all three as expected. For all the grief St. Thomas Academy takes for playing in Class 1A, it gives the rest of the state a "villain" to try and knock off. Lourdes presents the first challenge on the Cadets' schedule with a program that knows what it takes to get to the X in March. The Eagles have a terrific top line of Jason Samuelson, Alex Funk and Ben Weir, but don't overlook their defensive corps with Karl Krecke and Griffin Slightam.
4. Benilde-St. Margaret's at Moorhead
These two Class 2A powers just played during the Moorhead scrimmages in mid-November and things didn't go well for the Spuds. Benilde's turbo-charged offense got the better of the inexperienced Moorhead defense, which many teams might be saying as they try to slow down the T.J. Moore-Grant Besse-Dan Labosky trifecta. That's the matchup to watch in this game, as well, to see if anything has changed. Can Moorhead find a way to replace All-State -- and Brimsek Award-winning -- goaltender Michael Bitzer and the defense that buoyed him? The Spuds have been built on defense in past years, but their top returning players are all forwards: twins Tony and Nick Uglem, Thomas Carey and Aaron Herdt. The Red Knights could also show the firepower behind its top line, which includes 40-goal scorer Spencer Naas.
5. Little Falls at Hibbing/Chisholm (Hockey Hub Spotlight Game)
The 2012-13 Minnesota high school hockey regular season officially gets underway in Hibbing Friday afternoon as Little Falls ventures across the state to take on the Bluejackets at 4 p.m. Both teams harbor hopes of getting back to the state tournament this winter -- and both have the horses to do so. Little Falls is a veteran team that has largely been together for the past three years, anchored in goal by Michael Stumpf. The Flyers aren't as "high-flying" as in past seasons as there is no Hanowski on the roster, but they'll play suffocating defense. It'll be needed against the Bluejackets, who have a preseason Mr. Hockey candidate in Adam Johnson. One of the slipperiest and most elusive players in the state, Johnson is hoping to rebound from an injury-filled junior year and lead Hibbing back to the X.
6. Hill-Murray at Eagan
These two programs have been regulars at the state tournament the past few years -- and in the case of Hill-Murray, since the 1970s -- but both could experience growing pains this winter. The early-season matchup in Eagan should be measuring stick by which one will vault up the top-10 rankings and the other headed the opposite way. Hill-Murray lost plenty to graduation and early departures from its Class 2A state runner-up squad, but coach Bill Lechner always seems to field a winner. Veteran goaltender John Dugas should help the Pioneers as they adjust to new faces early in the season. Eagan also will have a new guard leading the way as the record-setting senior class of last winter has finally graduated. Now it's up to players such as Zach Glienke, Will Peterson and Andrew Lindgren to take charge.
7. Breck at Duluth Marshall (Hockey Hub Spotlight Game)
No one feels sorry for these two Class 1A programs, despite the fact both graduated high-scoring Mr. Hockey finalists in Duluth Marshall's Judd Peterson and Breck's Grant Opperman. Such is the nature of programs that just reload and never seemingly rebuild. Breck lost plenty of talent in addition to Opperman, but coach Les Larson has built a powerhouse that should survive just fine. Matt Colford and Thomas Lindstrom are the newest superstars in Mustang black and gold and new starting goaltender Henry Johnson may bring back memories of two-time state tourney winner Johnny Russell. Duluth Marshall may have lost Peterson, but returns much of its lineup from last year's state tourney team and is also buoyed by the transfer of Jeremy Lopez from Proctor and Jordan Fralich and Alex Murray from Silver Bay.
8. Roseau at Blaine
The storylines are interesting as Roseau heads down to the Twin Cities to face Blaine in the season's first week. There's the north versus south angle. The small school versus mega-school angle. But above all, there's the matchup of two teams that could just meet at the X in early March. Roseau is favored to reclaim Section 8AA from Moorhead this winter on the strength of a potent first line of Alex Strand, Zach Yon and Alex Ziegler. Blaine would like to erase any memory of last year's Section 5AA final loss to Maple Grove and is the early favorite to do so. The Bengals are also strong offensively with Tyler Cline, Jesse Norling and Joey Lau, which could result in a shootout. Both teams must replace starting goaltenders who played the vast majority of last year's minutes.
9. Proctor at North Shore (Hockey Hub Spotlight Game)
It's not just the first game of the season for North Shore -- it's the first game in the history of the program when Proctor comes calling opening week. North Shore combines the former rivals -- or as co-coach Steve Wasko calls them, the "Hatfields and the McCoys" -- from Two Harbors and Silver Bay. They'll try to set aside their differences and blend into a winning program under Wasko, who coached last year at Two Harbors, and Shawn Barlette, his counterpart from Silver Bay. If the North Shore program is looking for a new hated rival it just may come at the expense of the Rails. Proctor is the closest small school rival for North Shore (although Ely/Northeast Range is just over the river and through the woods) and the schools long ago matched up in the old Lake Superior Conference.
10. East Grand Forks at St. Cloud Cathedral (Hockey Hub Spotlight Game)
Two teams that have been on the outside of the Class 1A state tournament field and looking in the past few years look to get off to a good start on the new season -- and both have high hopes of returning to the X. East Grand Forks hasn't been able to break the Warroad-Thief River Falls stranglehold on Section 8A recently, but the Green Wave has had plenty of talent coming through the system. They lost leading scorer Zack Lawdermilt to graduation, but may be even better and more balanced this winter. St. Cloud Cathedral is a veteran team expected to push Hermantown for the Section 5A title. The Crusaders have an outstanding offense led by Austin Poganski, Will Hammer, Mitchell Fritz and company and a pair of veteran goaltenders in Josh Robak and Connor Amundson.

Set current quota parameters for user, group, or directory
. can be the name of a user or group or the
path to a directory. For users and groups, it can also be an
integer interpreted as a uid or gid. Setting the hardlim,
softlim, and timelim to 0 disables quota enforcement for that user,
group, or directory. The values for hardlim and softlim are
expressed in bytes when setting user, group, or dir values. When
setting dirfiles values, they are numbers of regular file inodes.
The value for timelim is expressed in minutes.
Recalculate the amount of space consumed (the current
size field of the quota record) by all users,
groups, and directory namespaces in the file system. This
command can be run on an active file system although file
updates (writes, truncates, etc.) will be delayed until
quotacheck has completed.
Like quotacheck, but deletes the quota database before
performing the check. All limits and directory namespaces
will be lost. Use with extreme caution.

There's no better way to celebrate Mardi Gras than with a Po' Boy (a beer-battered one at that.) Not only does beer give the shrimp great flavor, but it is scientifically proven to make superior batter. As soon as the beer-battered shrimp hit the pan, CO2 bubbles begin to dance and foam up around the shrimp. A panko dredging assists the process, and, as a result, the shrimp are left trapped in a flavorful and lacy-light crust. Pile them high on bread with mayo, lettuce, and tomato, and you'll have a happy Fat Tuesday indeed. Recipe from Mark Bittman's Kitchen Express.
Beer Batter Shrimp Po' Boy
Heat oil for frying. In a bowl, mix together one can of beer; one and one-half cups cornmeal (or panko) and pinches of salt, pepper; and paprika. Dip shrimp into batter and fry in batches until golden, about three minutes (flip once). Serve on split crusty Italian or French loaves with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise; lemon juice and hot sauce are also great here.

New 'American Horror Story: Coven' Trailer: Minotaurs, Gators, and Gruesome Death!
'American Horror Story: Coven' surprised us a few weeks back with a new season 3 teaser that revealed actual footage, as opposed to the nonsensical daily teasers, and now they've conjured up our best look yet. Kathy Bates' misery-able side is on full display in the latest trailer for 'American Horror Story: Coven,' along with some seriously scary beasts, and some witchy wonders to come!
Not only does the latest trailer give us a sneak peek of Bates' Madame LaLaurie as she carries out cruel and gruesome mythology-based tortures on her slave victims, but also the rivalry with Angela Bassett's voodoo character Marie Laveau. "She done messed with with the wrong witch," warns Bassett. "Too late for tears. Damage is done."
We also get a look at some seriously southern vibes from the New Orleans setting, complete with boisterous preachers, vicious man-eating gators, and a heaping helping of heat for any captured witches! And say, was that some spoileriffic looks at the fate that befalls Evan Peters' character?
Along with the official footage and cast portraits that have made their way online, we know that the third season of Ryan Murphy's breakout horror hit will move back and forth between both present and 1830s New Orleans in a battle between witches and voodoo. 'American Horror Story: Coven' will also welcome newcomers Danny Huston, Christine Ebersole, Emma Roberts, Patti LuPone, Leslie Jordan and Gabourey Sidibe, along with returning franchise regulars Jessica Lange, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Lily Rabe, Denis O'Hare, Alexandra Breckinridge, Frances Conroy, and Sarah Paulson.
We're just days away from the October 9 premiere of 'American Horror Story: Coven' now, so get a fresh look at season 3 in the trailer above, and tell us what terrifying terrors you hope to see in the comments!

HOME > Consumer Info > Automobiles
If you have a complaint about automobiles in Utah regarding auto theft, odometer fraud, misrepresentation and failure to deliver title, contact the
Utah Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division at 210 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84134, Telephone (801)297-2600, or on the web at:
Auto Repairs
Auto repairs are a major source of complaints for the Division. Most auto repair shops want to resolve complaints in a way that they can keep
you as a customer. Therefore, if you have a complaint regarding your auto repairs, contact the shop's manager first to see if the problem can
be resolved without further delay. If it can't be resolved, then contact us. An investigator will be assigned to look for any deceptive
practices that may have contributed to the problem.
Some of the things that you can do to protect yourself from deceptive practices are:
Utah's "Lemon Law"
Consumers who buy or lease a new automobile or motor home with significant defects that can't be repaired, or in other words consumers who buy a
"lemon," can obtain relief under the Utah New Motor Vehicle Warranties Act or "Lemon Law."
The Lemon Law applies to new cars under warranty and was extended in 1990 to also cover new leased vehicles and motor homes. The Lemon Law does
NOT apply to used vehicles.
For your vehicle to qualify as a "lemon" under the Lemon Law, the following criteria must apply:
If your vehicle meets ALL of the criteria, your next step is to file a complaint with the Division of Consumer Protection. Include with your
complaint COPIES of any relevant documents, including service records, and arbitration or dispute settlement records. After your vehicle is determined
to be a "lemon", you may qualify for either a replacement or a cash refund. The manufacturer may charge you a "reasonable" amount
for use of the vehicle as prescribed by law, usually 10 to 23 cents per mile. You can have the Division try to obtain restitution for you, or you can
take private action with the help of your own attorney.
Only a small number of vehicles are really "lemons." However, to avoid "lemon-type" problems, there are some steps you can
take to ensure greater satisfaction with your new vehicle purchase.

Currently, we are doggie sitting my friend Mary's dog, Isabella or Izzy for short, while Mary's out of town - and this is the first time I've seen these two together where Darcy is not trying to herd little Izzy into some sort of straight line. Darcy is part Australian Sheep Dog, maybe, so any time poor Izzy tries to walk from Point A to Point B it's a production for Darcy.
Izzy's owner is one of the most joyful, serene people I have ever met - truly annoying. And her dog is very like her - contented, elegant, a pleasure to be around. And then there is Darcy - big, clumsy, grin like an idiot, Darcy. Like Mary's dog is very reminiscent of her, my dog is very much like me - she falls out of bed regularly and snorts food from her nose.
I call them my DARCY AND (L)IZZY. My poor baby Darcy will be developing a psychosis since she is now referred to as he all the time, because it feeds into my Darcy and Lizzy fantasy world. I have a grand kind of fantasy world which grows exponentially each day. Soon I shall be its queen.
Anyway, I'm getting off track again. What I was thinking is how similar we are to our pets, we even grow to look like them - or they grow to look like us - or do we pick pets that feel like family? Who knows, but it is very odd.
Robert Downing must have been filming Sherlock Holmes when he picked up this little number.
Grooming is so very important, as are highlights. Of the three I know which one has the more intelligent looking face. And eyebrows, lord I'd kill for eyebrows.
I am not Paris' biggest fan but she is good to animals. I have never ever met a person I could engage in conversation who did not like animals. Something about non-animal people shows in their eyes - or maybe it's the lack of fur on their pants.
Or maybe it's just love, pure and simple. Your best buddy, your friend, your loyal other half, all rolled into one.

Dark Scavenger finally complete, demo will coincide with release
19 April 2012 | By JAFalcon
Psydra Games, the developers of Dark Scavenger, a strange hybrid of point-and-click adventure and roleplaying game, have announced that the game is now complete and a demo will be accompanying the game's release.
However, Psydra states that there is some housekeeping to take care of before the game can be released. The devs state they are "working on contacting many online distributers (sic). We already have a major one lined up for release!"


text: On July 15, gloATL held the third performance in their "Liquid Culture" series in front of and sometimes within the storefronts of Little Five Points. Several local writers wrote articles that focused on the Little Five Points performance, especially because a bystander in a day-glow yellow vest, who was presumably pretty drunk, continually tried to upstage and interrupt the dancers with his own form of street dancing and chanting. While I certainly don't condone the sexually aggressive taunts he made to some of the dancers, I found it interesting that his interruption of the performance and the subsequent attempts by friends of gloATL to cordon this man off became the performance itself.

Colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, is on the decline. However, while often diagnosed in patients over 50, there has been a recent dramatic increase in colorectal cancer in younger patients, with approximately 15 percent found in those under 50.
Thanks to regular screening through colonoscopy and early detection, colorectal cancer can be prevented and even cured, so, no matter your age, it's good to know the symptoms and how to protect yourself. By having regular screenings that catch the disease in its earliest, most treatable stages, and by adopting healthful lifestyle habits, lowering ones cancer risk is possible.
Colorectal cancer begins when benign growths known as polyps turn malignant, sometimes taking 10 to 15 years before becoming cancer. Symptoms include changes in bowel habits for more than a few days, rectal bleeding, traces of blood in the stool, stomach pain or cramping, weakness, fatigue, decreased appetite and unexpected weight loss.
Risk factors for colorectal cancer include age as well as lifestyle habits. For instance, a diet high in red meat and low in fruits, vegetables and whole grains as well as obesity, tobacco and heavy alcohol use all predispose one to developing the disease. People with a personal and family history of colorectal polyps or inflammatory bowel disease are also at a higher risk.
The good news is that screening tests can detect and remove precancerous polyps before they become cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that people at average risk for colorectal cancer have a screening test beginning at age 50 and then every ten years until age 75. Men and women with colorectal cancer risk factors should speak with their physician about starting screening at a younger age or being screened more frequently.
A colonoscopy is the most common screening test for colorectal cancer. During a colonoscopy, the doctor uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached to examine the inner lining of the large intestine and remove any polyps.
In addition to regular screening, people can reduce their risk of developing colorectal cancer through lifestyle habits that include eating a plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, maintaining a healthy weight, eliminating tobacco usage and limiting alcohol consumption.
Treatment for colorectal cancer includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy as well as newer targeted procedures like immunotherapy. According to the National Institute of Health, surgery can cure about 90 percent of colorectal cancers when found early. Even when multiple treatments are needed, many patients can be cured, especially when the cancer is diagnosed in its earlier stages.
One new treatment for patients with advanced colorectal cancer is Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), which combines surgery with intraoperative chemotherapy to reduce as much cancerous tissue as possible. Heating the chemotherapy drugs to a specific temperature increases the cancer-fighting ability and applying it directly to the site of surgery rather than intravenously can reduce some common chemotherapy side effects.

For the early detection of lung cancer in high risk individuals, The Medical Center offers a lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography (CT) at Western Kentucky Diagnostic Imaging (WKDI). A low dose CT scan is a test which utilizes x-ray technology to scan the body. CT uses low doses of radiation to produce a series of detailed pictures of the lungs. Unlike traditional x-ray, CT can more accurately identify early stage cancer when it is most treatable.
Are you at high risk for lung cancer?
A recommendation from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force suggests that adults who have no signs or symptoms of lung cancer but who are at high risk for developing lung cancer should be screened every year with low-dose CT. High risk is defined as people who meet the following criteria:
- Are 55 through 77 years old, and
- Have a history of heavy smoking, and
- Are either current smokers or who have quit within the past 15 years.
Heavy smoking is defined as a smoking history of 30 "pack years" or more. A "pack year" is smoking an average of one pack per day for one year. For example, someone is considered a heavy smoker if they smoke one pack per day for 30 years or smoke two packs per day for 15 years.
Adults who meet the criteria above should also be asymptomatic for lung cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the symptoms of lung cancer include:
- A cough that does not go away or gets worse
- Chest pain that is often worse with deep breathing, coughing, or laughing
- Hoarseness
- Weight loss and loss of appetite
- Coughing up blood or rust-colored sputum (spit or phlegm)
- Shortness of breath
- Feeling tired or weak
- Infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia that don't go away or keep coming back
- New onset of wheezing
Lung Cancer Screening using Low-dose CT Scan
The cost of the screening is $150. Traditional Medicare covers the screening. Only individuals who meet the criteria should be screened using low-dose CT. To check eligibility for the screening, individuals can call WKDI at 270-780-2764 or talk with their physician. A physician order is required for the screening.
About Lung Cancer
What is Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer is caused by abnormal cells in the lung that grow out of control. When the extra cells build up, they can form a tumor or spread to other parts of the body. There are two types of lung cancer: small cell and non-small cell. The most common type is non-small cell lung cancer. If found and treated early, non-small cell lung cancer can sometimes be cured using surgery to remove the part of the lung that has the cancer. Learn more about lung cancer.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and in Kentucky. According to the Kentucky Cancer Consortium, Kentucky's death rate from cancer is 46% higher than the national rate. Over 3,500 people died from lung cancer in 2010. It is estimated that over 4,500 cases of lung cancer are diagnosed each year. Of those cases, 80% are diagnosed at a late stage.
The number one risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. It is estimated that about 85 percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. In the United States, Kentucky has the highest rate of smoking.
The risk of developing lung cancer increases with age, with most cancers occurring in people age 55 and older. The risk of lung cancer also increases with the amount and length of time someone smokes.

Notes on OFFFJuly 07, 2004
Some reflections on the festival, the people, and the country I've spent my last week enjoying.
OFFF is an interactive festival, exhibit, and about as close to a design industry trade show as you're going to find. 2004 was its fourth year, and the first in Valencia (the prior years have run in Barcelona from what I hear).
The interesting thing about OFFF is that it brings together a bunch of people that could be labelled as 'digital artists', but doesn't discriminate about each specialty. There were video and audio people, web people, a lot of Flash people, and the kind of artistes that do work in any media they can get away with and do it well enough to make you weep a river of green tears.
Notably, the catchline for OFFF 2004 was: "I am not a digital artist, I am a _______". It was up to each individual to fill in the blanks. When interviewed I think I produced the blandest of possible answers ("user interface something-or-other") but the point was more to showcase the diversity of the field, and bring together the different specialties and celebrate the differences.
What kept occuring to me was that I was a representative of only one small piece of the overall pie; the context of the festival was largely web design, and the people who attended were undoubtedly supremely talented. The web is a large place though, and you and I and everyone else liable to read this represent the smallest of small fractions of those who use it, create it, and live it. There are other people doing it who don't see things the same way as you or I.
For example: I was one of the few presenters who used a Mac, and every PC there seemed to be using Internet Explorer exclusively. The audience at SXSW was, by contrast, about 85% Mac. I don't think I saw a single browser by the Mozilla organization gracing any screen other than my own. There was no wireless; internet access for the conference was handled by a set of PCs in a 'wired room' which all ran IE.
Some of this is just cultural difference. Spain is a country lax on software licensing, I heard from some individuals. The pirated CDs and movies for sale in the open on the streets of the tourist areas seemed to confirm this. (DVDs of the movies playing in theaters were for sale right outside the theater, in some cases.) Why this supports a monoculture when so much great open source software is legitimately available, I don't know; perhaps there's a correlation if awareness of the alternatives is lower.
Macs are undeniably expensive outside of the US, and Mac prices are all wrapped up in hardware which, at last check, you couldn't duplicate digitally. Ask me some time how many Canadian dollars I've invested in Apple so far in my less-than-a-year of conversion. And wireless is popular in the US and growing in Canada, but it's still an emerging technology elsewhere. I'm glad I brought my ethernet cable (and even more glad that the conference had some North American to European power cables that allowed me to actually plug in; the 34% on my battery when I arrived wasn't going to last through the presentation.)
But when it comes down to it, a lot of the non-technology-oriented mindset results from the technology and tools used to build the final product being seen as incidental to many people. Flash is popular amongst designers because cross-browser issues are non-existent. It has an authoring environment that allows for intuitive, true WYSIWYG design. CSS has no equivalent for either of these. 'Markup' and 'coding' are concepts that get in the way of a designer's ability to design.
Though more of the world is buying into standards-based design, it's becoming more apparent that standards are moving to the background as a tool and a way of getting things done, and more attention is being focused on the work itself. This is a good change, but there's still a vast difference between understanding the benefits of standards, and using them in your work. The reality is that proper browser support requires hacks and clever workarounds, and these are the sort of things that seem like mystical voodoo to those who just want to get the job done.
I have no conclusions, only anecdotes. I was exposed to a different way of thinking this past week that represents how a large portion of those creating for the web view what they do. It's easy to forget they exist, but they'll be the majority for a time yet. Perhaps there needs to be more focus by those people on the technology itself, but perhaps there needs to be more focus on the actual work by those of us who get it.
The recent standards backlash has been a healthy wake up call. Perhaps now would be a good time to quit obsessing over the latest validation war and start talking about the final product a little more.
Reader Comments
Have you watched some football (aka soccer) while in Spain? The Euro2004 ended this weekend.
How about the food? Mediterranean food is great. Any thoughts on that?
I really like to hear foreigns talk about our cultures (i'm portuguese)
> Flash is popular amongst designers because cross-browser issues are non-existent.
Yeah, but "cross-version-issues". There is no such thing as "coded-once-runs-forever". But of course there is a massive difference in issue-density ;-)
Of course, I would have to agree. I have been learning about standards-based design for the past month or so now, I have spent a great deal of time simply learning how to get things done, and less time concentrating on the design itself. This is the very reason why the design community is comprised of so many flash-designers.
Standards-based designers deserve a big slice of the pie, so let's get it. Let the Zen Garden live, and let the followers follow. Let's design.
Sounds like a great time! I too find it interesting how "narrow" of focus many Web professionals are (including myself) – I know people who work soley in Flash. Others who are 100% focused on .net and MS technologies. Then there are the standards folks.
If your projects meet your goals, who's to say how you should do something? I'd like to see more talk about blending of the proper technologies toward the proper solutions.
A focus on the end product, meeting goals and fundimentals like design.
Sounds like we're moving in that direction and it's great.
But anyway, let's get to what really matters. Did you have any paella while you were there? See any sights? I loved Spain the one time I was there.
Keith, I can attest to the fact that he did get down and dirty for lunch with some of the noisier locals, though paella wasn't on the menu.
Good to hear that you enjoyed the assembled talent, Dave. How was your talk? Any notes from that?

Macromedia.com is an excellent example of Flash and standards working together. Unfortunately, it's just about the only one I know of.
Oh they're out there - one of my favorites is the recent WDDG redesign, which even touts their "fully standards compliant site" verbiage in the first sentence no less. Keeps the same visual feel as the version prior but got smarter about not Flashing their whole site. Very cool for a design firm.
As always, you can cruise k10k for more inspiration or just check their feed for a daily dose.
It's a little depressing to realize that our little positive-feedback-loop world of standards-based design really is so little. And yet I'm encouraged.
After all, this conference sought out Dave and paid for him to come, right? And major websites from Wired on down are reworking themselves with standards too—not just to be cool, but because it makes sense for their businesses.
I see it myself whenever I show a crowd of non-web people (not designers, but regular folks who use the Web all the time) the Zen Garden, or a standards-based site with CSS turned on and off. They get it. They know why it would be good to see a funky visual layout on their computers, but just the basic text on their cell phones, and they appreciate being able to change the presentation of something while maintaining its content. When they see a newsfeed in action, they get that too.
Web design and development are still very, very young fields. As they mature, standards make more sense than ever. We just need to continue working to make standards-based sites are easier to build, so that eventually _of course_ sites will be built using standards, just as English books are printed left to right with page numbers and tables of contents. In time, everyone should wonder why it would ever have been different.
Hey, I can dream, right?
Re: blending technologies, I'm a big fan of Flash/HTML hybrids. I was recently shocked to learn that some major players in Flash design can't hand-code a lick of HTML to save their lives. They can write complex ActionScript functions to spawn duplicate movie clips and mutate them with randomly variable elasticity, but they can't center a page without using a table and that little "align" dropdown in Dreamweaver.
For example, Fantasy Interactive (http://www.fantasy-interactive.com/) does amazing Flash work, simply stunning jawdropping stuff, but none of it is HTML even when it really should be. Their current home page is essentially a big column of text, but it's all Flash (in a big <center> tag even). Which means it can't be searched, can't be googled, can't be scaled, can't be copy-pasted, can't be navigated by keyboard, can't be screen-read by assistive software, links can't be opened in tabs, and worst, the site can't be seen at all without a current Flash plug-in. It would be much better off as a standards-compliant hybrid, and it wouldn't need to suffer at all in the looks department.
Macromedia.com is an excellent example of Flash and standards working together. Unfortunately, it's just about the only one I know of.
Nice post Dave. A bit different from your regular posts because it resonates with the personal, retrospective, almost melancholy tone that I recognize and have always associated with relaying an overseas trip - you want to capture the moment, but it is too big for a few hundred words.
To Keith:
How is it in this day and age there exist web designers that use exclusively FLASH for page design? If a client is selling a product or service via a website, they need to tap into targeted traffic offered by search engines - if one can get to the top of the search engines' search results pages for their relevant keywords and keyword phrases. Pages done mostly in FLASH do nothing as far as feeding content to search engine spiders. The most important thing your site requires is TRAFFIC. Who cares about design is nobody can find your site?
Here's a beauty of a site my client paid good money for: [removed] …the pages are 100% FLASH images - every page has to be loaded. What were these guys thinking when they built it? Not only does each page take over 3 minutes to load on a dialup connection, search engine spiders can only see the META tags - which, will only get you buried in the search results. I found out later that the company that did the work is primarily a video production outfit. Here's the redesign my team did: [removed] My client did ask the company to resolve the loading issue. After two weeks they came back and said there was nothing they could do. My URL is actually another client's site. Just posting some links to get it spidered by the engines. Please email me if anyone has questions about search engine optimization and search engine friendly web design. I offer consulting on a paid hourly basis. Cheers
[Nice try. No soup for you. -DS]
Nice article: what demonstrations of flash were there? Glad to see you holding up the css banner though!
I would agree with sam – comment 11. I think you rightfully earned the job of "holding up the CSS banner", as sam said.
>>"For example: I was one of the few presenters who used a Mac, and every PC there seemed to be using Internet Explorer exclusively. The audience at SXSW was, by contrast, about 85% Mac. I don't think I saw a single browser by the Mozilla organization gracing any screen other than my own. There was no wireless; internet access for the conference was handled by a set of PCs in a 'wired room' which all ran IE."<<
Gasp! Is that even possbile….using "Internet Explorer" and "exclusive" and "using" in the same sentence (You may need to re-arange those!)?
I think you're obtaining premature conclusions about web state in spain.
Offf is more a festival about design tendencies than about real things happening on web design industry here.
I'm sure we still have much way to cross related with web standards. But much of ours are working with web standards more than 3 years ago. In fact, we're planing a project with the main goal to help people to learn the importance of web standards and the business benefits derived from their use. Maybe we'll need some help from people like you.
Until now, with the praiseworthy exception of Mr. Zeldman - who always says that there's no problem if we want to translate ALA articles to spanish - it seems like "important web people" is too busy to take care about what's happening on the web which speaks another language than english.
There are too many problems to analize before to take any conclusion:
- Here, if you offer a WI-FI lan, with internet access, you're doing something illegal.
- You have to pay the VAT tax when you buy software/hardware; that's to say 19%/16% more over the final price. (You can make yourself an idea about how much I pay for my PowerBook).
I were at your conference at offf - just with the guy who ask you about your opinion about CSS hacks - and I tried to understand you when you start to talk for people who don't know nothing about CSS.
You can bet that a lot of people on that room knows a lot of things about CSS, and have a lot of practice on its use, but we assume that in't the level for everybody there.
We'd like to hear you talk about other things, like how can affect the lack of support of CSS on IE on the browser market, or advanced topics like CSS3, but offf wasn't the place.
And you can believe me when I say that I'm sorry. I drive 6 hours to Valencia only to see your conference; nothing more at offf seems interesting enough for me.
And I'm also spanish, and web developer, and mac and linux user, and I pay for my licenses of software.
"I think you're obtaining premature conclusions about web state in spain."
Perhaps I should have been more clear. While I mentioned the cultural differences of Spain, OFFF is an international conference and most of my observations were meant to be about the state of the industry as a whole.
But then, I did hear from more than one person that much of the web design in Spain is about Flash. So maybe, like everywhere else, your perceptions change based on those you associate with.
No x-browser issues with Flash? My left foot. Someone's not testing enough.
I've done 3 Flash-heavy projects in the last 2 months. All three had me tearing my hair out until the wee hours of the morning (often more than once) due to bizarre bugs on the client's machine I could not replicate on a local machine (despite having the same os/browser/player/version combination).
No, Flash doesn't have the same sorts of font/color/layout issues that CSS/(X)HTML/JavaScript can. But it *does* have problems, and they can be much more difficult to replicate and eradicate than anything I've ever experienced in the CSS/(X)HTML/JavaScript world (barring a few obscure IE security model quirks, but I don't want to go /there/).
That said, I look forward to working with Flash a bit more in the future. It's a really amazing platform for some things. It's just not the x-platform panacea some of it's more zealous adherents say it is.
Being at OFFF, I don't think OFFF had a lot to do with the state of the industry or with Flash at all.
I can start blabing about what I think it is, but why bother, when I already wrote that at:

Ishbel Shawl
I made her the famous Ishbel shawl as seen all over Ravelry. The shawl and I had a troubled relationship for the month we were together. There was some frogging, some angry throwing into the WIP basket and more than a few cuss words. We eventually found a mutual respect for one another and ended on a happy note. I'll remember her fondly :).
I used Araucania Ranco solid yarn. This was the first time I've used it but it won't be last! It's lovely to work with and the hand dyed color is beautiful.
I did the bind-off a bit too snuggly so I didn't have the wiggle room to block out the points. I'll make that correction if I ever knit another one, which I will.
I received some wonderfully fun and beautifully made goodies from sheepBlue in exchange for this shawl. It was a really great swap all around.

The stripes trend is everywhere. How can I get the look?
Bold stripes can be intimidating—after all, no one wants to look like an umpire or a circus tent—but with some smart styling, they can be flattering, we promise. Here are our three favourite ways to wear this spring trend without fear!
Tip #1: Mix With Abandon Embrace your inner '60s starlet and try a striking mix of bigger, horizontal stripes on your top and smaller, vertical stripes on your lower half. While there are lots of bright colours on the market, when you're starting out, stick to black or navy. Also, it's smart to keep the accessories to a minimum and your shoes simple and chic. (Think: a striped menswear-inspired blouse loosely tucked into a sleek pencil skirt, paired with pointy shoes and your hair in a sweet topknot.)
Tip #2: Consider It A Neutral Approach a bold stripe as you would any other wardrobe staple. That means style it with denim, camel, khakis, and leather without hesitation. Also, feel free to pepper it with other classic prints, like leopard, small polka dots, or florals.
Tip #3: Think Beyond Basic While we urge you to own as many striped sweaters, knit tees, and woven tops as your budget allows, we love a striped accessory too! Try rocking a boldly striped pair of sunglasses or shoes. Even a small addition of this fun, timeless print will elevate your look and make it effortlessly cool!

|Version 24 (modified by 12 years ago) (diff),
This is a work in progress, answering questions that do indeed get asked frequently on the Django IRC channel (#django on irc.freenode.net). Feel free to contribute, but try to keep it clear and concise. Please don't editorialize.
Python questions
How do I learn Python if I'm new to programming?
How do I learn Python if I'm not new to programming?
- http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html
- http://www.diveintopython.org/
- http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Programmers
Are there any books on Python?
Yes. http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBooks
Django questions
Which version should I use, the 0.95.1 release or the Subversion checkout?
The 0.95.1 release is the most well-tested. That said, many people run sites based on a Subversion checkout happily. If you do use a Subversion checkout, note that you don't need to run
setup.py -- just make sure that the checkout is on your Python path.
Django 0.96 will be released in the near future, and it will be recommended that production deployments stick to that release once it's out; there will be some backwards-incompatible changes in Django after 0.96, and the easiest migration plan is probably to run on 0.96 until that's done, then migrate your code all in one step.
Should I read the documentation on the djangoproject.com website, or djangobook.com?
Start with the documentation here. This is especially true if you're using 0.95.1, since the version the examples on djangobook.com are based on the development version of Django, which contains several features which were not present in the 0.95.1 release (but which will be present in the upcoming 0.96 release).
What does
'function' object has no attribute 'rindex' mean?
This error is a telltale sign that you're trying to follow djangobook.com with a version of Django that's too old. See previous question.
How do I extend a model? I want to subclass django.contrib.auth.models.User.
You can't do this at the moment, but model subclassing is being worked on. Also, see here. http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2007/02/20/about-model-subclassing
If I change my model, will
manage.py syncdb update my database table?
No, you'll need to manually change your database table. If you use
manage.py sqlall on your app to produce a SQL file before editing your models, you can run it again afterwards and use the difference between the two to see what you need to change in the database.
What should I use for development -- the built-in server, mod_python, FastCGI?
It's generally easiest to use the built-in development server, since it automatically reloads your Python source files when it detects changes. (Some prefer to replicate the production environment as closely as possible, meaning that if their deployed project uses mod_python then their development server does as well.)
What's the difference between
null=True and
blank=True in models?
null=True means that the database will accept a
NULL value for that field;
blank=True means that Django's validation system won't complain about a missing value. If you use
blank=True but not
null=True you will need to have your code fill in a value before storage in the database -- specifying a default on a field, or putting something in the model's
save method to generate a value are two good ways to handle this, and can be extremely useful when you want to calculate one field's value based on others.
I think Ajax is awesome! How do I do Ajax with Django?
Choose your favorite excellent Javascript library and go to it. Django provides serializers to JSON and XML, which you can read about in the documentation: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/serialization/
Also see this helpful article from James Bennett (with bonus anti-Javascript-helpers rant!): http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/07/02/django-and-ajax
Is there a free CMS available for Django?
At this point there is nothing well-established (like Plone, for instance). In practice, people mean so many different things by "CMS" that it may be hard to get a straight answer. This question is often asked by newcomers; one recommendation is to learn a bit of Django and see just how easy it is to make a site that does what you want. If you're in a big rush, there's always Ellington: http://www.ellingtoncms.com/
What database should I use?
For development, most people find SQLite to be fastest and simplest to run with. (But make sure the database and its directory are writeable by the owner of the web server process!)
The admin is working, but it can't find the Javascript and CSS and image files.
You're running the development server, right? Read this: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/static_files/
I'm trying to install Django on Windows and something is weird.
Have you looked here? http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/WindowsInstall
What editor is best for Django?
Vim. No, wait, Emacs. A lot of people seem to like TextMate, too.
How do I customise the admin interface so all logged-in users can use it without screwing up anything?
The admin interface is designed for use by trusted site staff, not by any user -- if you don't trust a user with the level of access the admin application provides, you'll need to provide non-admin views for the actions you'd like to allow them to take.
How do I make extensive changes in the admin interface?
At the moment it's probably best not to; the admin app is fairly specialized and doesn't have a lot of places to customize behavior, so you'll usually end up writing less code by just rolling your own set of views. The newforms-admin branch, however, will significantly refactor the admin app to make customization much simpler.
When will the next release be out? -or- When will X branch be done?
"When it's done" is the short answer. Fixed release dates are rarely set, but searching or browsing the developer list (http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/) can be informative.

Miami Marlins
Record performance by Miami Marlins bullpen is wasted in loss to Atlanta Braves
It was all going so....perfectly for the Marlins bullpen.
But it didn't turn out that way.
After five Marlins relievers had retired 24 straight Atlanta batters, the bottom fell out on the sixth as the Braves erupted late for a runaway 7-1 victory in 14 innings.
Justin Upton lashed a two-run double off Chris Hatcher to break a 1-1 logjam and the Braves cemented the victory by adding four more runs to survive a protracted pitchers battle between the two bullpens.
It was the fourth consecutive loss for the Marlins, who also fell to 0-13 on the season when the roof has been open at Marlins Park. Well, it was open for the first seven innings.
By the time Monday's game got around to ending, it had been closed due to rain in the area.
Those that hung around saw the Marlins set a team bullpen record for consecutive batters retired: 24. The previous record of 18 was set during the 2005 season.
Not a single Atlanta batter reached base from Jason Heyward's leadoff triple in the sixth inning to Reed Johnson's leadoff walk in the 14th.
But that drought-ending base runner proved to be the difference.
Hatcher, who was called up Sunday from Triple A New Orleans to fill Ricky Nolasco's roster spot, issued walks to two of the first three batters he faced before Upton laced a double into the left-field corner.
The Braves piled it on after that, with two fielding errors contributing to the onslaught.
Hatcher's bad fortune continued afterward when he was optioned back to New Orleans.
"We need arms," manager Mike Redmond said after using every pitcher in the pen except for A.J. Ramos. "We're trying to figure out who that will be right now."
Kevin Slowey started Monday for the Marlins in the place of Nolasco, who was traded Saturday to Los Angeles. It was Slowey's first start since June 12 when he took the mound on three days' rest and was battered in a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
He was much sharper on 25 days' rest between starts.
Slowey held the Braves without a run for five innings, allowing only four hits, before leaving for a pinch-hitter.
Braves starter Mike Minor was even better. Minor retired the first 10 batters he faced before Ed Lucas reached with one out in the fourth on a double.
One inning later, the Marlins took a 1-0 lead on Justin Ruggiano's two-out single, scoring Adeiny Hechavarria. Hechavarria opened the inning with a single to extend his hitting streak to eight consecutive games.
But right after Slowey left, the Braves tied it in the sixth off Dan Jennings. Jason Heyward tripled to lead off the inning and scored on B.J. Upton's sacrifice fly.
After that, the Braves could do nothing.
Five different Marlins relievers -- Jennings, Ryan Webb, Chad Qualls, Steve Cishek and Mike Dunn -- retired the next 24 batters -- three outs shy of what would be a perfect game for a starting pitcher.
"We asked a couple of guys to go multiple innings," Redmond said. "Those guys pitched really well. They stepped up."
The Braves bullpen wasn't exactly shabby, either.
Atlanta relievers retired 15 in a row from the eight inning to the 13th as the Marlins mustered little offensively.
The Marlins couldn't make good with their best scoring chance in the 13th when they put runners at first and second with no outs. But Logan Morrison grounded into a double play and Hechavarria flied to right to end the threat.
"We had tons of chances," Redmond said. "We had first and second late in the game. We had plenty of opportunities and just couldn't get the big hit."
