Expert-reviewed information summary about the treatment of adult primary liver cancer.
Note: Some citations in the text of this section are followed by a level of evidence. The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.)
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a tumor that is relatively uncommon in the United States, although its incidence is rising, principally in relation to the spread of hepatitis C infection. It is the most common cancer in some parts of the world, with more than 1 million new cases diagnosed each year. Hepatocellular carcinoma is potentially curable by surgical resection, but surgery is the treatment of choice for only the small fraction of patients with localized disease. Prognosis depends on the degree of local tumor replacement and the extent of liver function impairment. Therapy other than surgical resection is best administered as part of a clinical trial. Such trials evaluate the efficacy of systemic or infusional chemotherapy, hepatic artery ligation or embolization, percutaneous ethanol injection, radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy, and radiolabeled antibodies, often in conjunction with surgical resection and/or radiation therapy. In some studies of these approaches, long remissions have been reported. A few patients may be candidates for liver transplantation, but the limited availability of livers for transplantation restricts the use of this approach. Hepatocellular carcinoma can coexist with bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma).
Risk factors
Hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with cirrhosis in 50% to 80% of patients; 5% of cirrhotic patients eventually develop hepatocellular cancer, which is often multifocal.
Hepatitis B infection and hepatitis C infection appear to be the most significant causes of hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide, particularly in patients with continuing antigenemia and in those who have chronic active hepatitis. A series found that male patients older than 50 years who have both hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection may be at particularly high risk for hepatocellular cancer.[Level of evidence: 3iiiDiv] There is evidence that patients with both hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection who consume more than 80 grams of alcohol per day have an increased risk of developing cancer (odds ratio [OR] = 7.3) when compared to patients who abstain from alcohol. Additionally, having a first-degree relative with hepatitis B plus hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with an increased risk (OR = 2.41) for family members who are hepatitis B carriers.
Aflatoxin has also been implicated as a factor in the etiology of primary liver cancer in parts of the world where this mycotoxin occurs in high levels in ingested food. Workers who were exposed to vinyl chloride before controls on vinyl chloride dust were instituted developed sarcomas in the liver, most commonly angiosarcomas. Other sarcomas of smooth muscular and vascular origin are also found.
In the United States, obesity has emerged as a very important risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma and is the main contributor of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which may be related to an increase in the rate of hepatocellular carcinoma.
The primary symptoms of hepatocellular carcinoma are those of a hepatic mass. Among patients with underlying cirrhotic disease, a progressive increase in alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and/or in alkaline phosphatase or a rapid deterioration of hepatic function may be the only clue to the presence of the neoplasm. Infrequently, patients with this disease have polycythemia, hypoglycemia, hypercalcemia, or dysfibrinogenemia. (For more information on Hypercalcemia, refer to the PDQ summary of the same name.)
Prognostic factors
The biologic marker AFP is useful for the diagnosis of this neoplasm. By a radioimmunoassay technique, 50% to 70% of patients in the United States who have hepatocellular carcinoma have elevated levels of AFP. However, patients with other malignancies (germ cell carcinoma and, rarely, pancreatic and gastric carcinoma) also demonstrate elevated serum levels of this protein. AFP levels have been shown in studies such as RTOG-8301 to be prognostically important, with the median survival of AFP-negative patients significantly longer than that of AFP-positive patients. Other prognostic variables include performance status, liver functions, and the presence or absence of cirrhosis and its severity in relation to the Child-Pugh classification.
Patients scheduled for possible resection require preoperative assessment with angiography in conjunction with helical computed tomographic (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with magnetic resonance angiography; these scans have obviated the need for angiography in most patients. Information on the arterial anatomy is helpful for the operating surgeon and may eliminate some patients from consideration for resection. The presence of tumor thrombi in the hepatic veins, the inferior vena cava, or the portal vein can significantly alter treatment approaches. Dynamic CT and MRI scans can document the relationship of the tumor to the hepatic and portal veins (and, on occasion, involvement of these structures), delineating tumors for which the chances for surgical cure are remote. Laparoscopic evaluation may detect metastatic disease, bilobar disease, or inadequate liver remnant, and therefore obviate the need for open surgical exploration.
Estimated new cases and deaths from liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer in the United States in 2012:
Other PDQ summaries containing information related to adult primary liver cancer include the following:
Malignant tumors of the liver are primarily adenocarcinomas, with two major cell types: hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma.
Histologic classification is as follows:
Hepatoblastoma rarely occurs in adults.
Note: The American Joint Committee on Cancer has recently published a new edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, which includes revisions to the staging for this disease. The PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board, which is responsible for maintaining this summary, is currently reviewing the new staging to determine the changes that need to be made in the summary. In addition to updating this Stage Information section, additional changes may need to be made to other parts of this summary to ensure that it is up-to-date. The changes will be made as soon as possible.
The regional lymph nodes are the hilar (i.e., those in the hepatoduodenal ligament, hepatic, and periportal nodes). Regional lymph nodes also include those along the inferior vena cava, hepatic artery, and portal vein. Any lymph node involvement beyond these nodes is considered distant metastasis and should be coded as M1. Involvement of the inferior phrenic lymph nodes should also be considered M1.
Metastases occur most frequently in bones and lungs. Tumors may extend through the capsule to adjacent organs (adrenal glands, diaphragm, and colon) or may rupture, causing acute hemorrhage and peritoneal carcinomatosis.
The T classification is based on the results of multivariate analyses of factors affecting prognosis after resection of liver carcinomas. The classification considers the presence or absence of vascular invasion (as assessed radiographically or pathologically), the number of tumor nodules (single vs. multiple), and the size of the largest tumor (⤠5 cm vs. > 5 cm). For pathologic classification, vascular invasion includes gross as well as microscopic involvement of vessels. Major vascular invasion (T3) is defined as invasion of the branches of the main portal vein (right or left portal vein; this does not include sectoral or segmental branches) or as invasion of one or more of the 3 hepatic veins (right, middle, or left). Multiple tumors include satellitosis, multifocal tumors, and intrahepatic metastases. Invasion of adjacent organs other than the gallbladder or with perforation of the visceral peritoneum is considered T4.
For purposes of treatment, patients with liver cancer are grouped into 1 of 3 groups: localized resectable, localized unresectable, or advanced disease. These groups are described with the following AJCC stage groupings:
(Selected T1 and T2; N0; M0)
Localized resectable liver cancer is confined to a solitary mass in a portion of the liver, or a limited number of tumors confined to one lobe, that allows the possibility of complete surgical removal of the tumor with a margin of normal liver. Liver function tests are usually normal or minimally abnormal, and there should be no evidence of cirrhosis beyond Child class A or chronic hepatitis. Only a small percentage of liver cancer patients will prove to have such localized resectable disease. Preoperative assessment that includes 3-phase helical computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance scanning should be directed toward determining the presence of extension of tumor across interlobar planes, involvement of the hepatic hilus, or encroachment on the vena cava. A resected specimen should ideally contain a 1 cm margin of normal liver. Patients with cirrhosis and resectable tumors are also eligible for liver transplantation; if eligible, sometimes other measures are instituted until liver transplantation becomes available.
(Selected T1, T2, T3, and T4; N0; M0)
Localized and locally advanced unresectable liver cancer appears to be confined to the liver, but surgical resection of the entire tumor is not appropriate because of location within the liver or concomitant medical conditions (such as cirrhosis). These patients may be considered for liver transplantation. For other patients, percutaneous or intraoperative radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or other forms of ablation of small (<3 cm) appropriately located tumors, or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) may be options.
(Any T, N1 or M1)
Advanced liver cancer is present in both lobes of the liver or has metastasized to distant sites. Median survival is usually 2 to 4 months. The most common metastatic sites of hepatocellular cancer are the lungs and bone. Multifocal disease in the liver is common, particularly when cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis is present. Chemoembolization has been beneficial in selected patients who have no extrahepatic metastases.
Note: Some citations in the text of this section are followed by a level of evidence. The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.)
For patients with selected T1 or T2; N0; M0 disease.
Standard treatment options:
Treatment options under clinical evaluation:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with localized resectable adult primary liver cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.

The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.)
For selected patients with T1, T2, T3, or T4; N0; M0 disease.
Patients whose tumors are localized but unresectable due to location in the liver, concomitant medical considerations (such as cirrhosis), or even limited bilateral tumors, may be candidates for chemoembolization, cryosurgery, percutaneous ethanol injection, or radiofrequency ablation for cancers smaller than 5 cm. Survivals equivalent to resection have been reported. One randomized trial in cirrhosis patients with small hepatocellular carcinomas demonstrated improved local recurrence-free survival in patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation as compared to percutaneous ethanol injections as their only form of treatment,[Level of evidence: 1iiDiii] but overall survival was not changed.[Level of evidence: 1iiA]
Clinical trials that use systemic chemotherapy, regional chemotherapy, and/or labeled or radiolabeled antibodies have demonstrated remission of unresectable hepatoma. Other approaches include embolization of the hepatic artery with gelatin foam powder or muscle fragments and chemotherapy, usually doxorubicin. These approaches often produce central tumor necrosis, reduction in tumor size, and relief of pain, but the benefits are usually transient. Any interference with arterial blood supply (including infusion chemotherapy) may be associated with significant morbidity and is contraindicated in the presence of portal hypertension, portal vein thrombosis, or clinical jaundice. A randomized study of chemoembolization versus conservative treatment found no survival advantage for chemoembolization. This study was terminated early and was underpowered to detect any but large survival differences.
Standard treatment options:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with localized unresectable adult primary liver cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
For patients with any T, N1, M1 disease.
There is no standard therapy for patients with advanced metastatic liver cancer. Such patients should be considered candidates for clinical trials exploring the usefulness of new biologicals or antitumor drugs (phase I and II studies) or combinations of existing drugs, radiosensitizers, and radiation therapy. Palliation may sometimes be achieved in such studies.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with advanced adult primary liver cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.)
The prognosis for any treated primary liver cancer patient with progressing, recurring, or relapsing disease is poor. The question and selection of further treatment depends on many factors, including prior treatment, site of recurrence, presence of cirrhosis, and hepatic function as well as individual patient considerations. Re-resection should be considered when feasible, but most patients experience recurrence, typically in the liver. When re-resection is not possible, treatment options for patients with recurrent hepatocellular cancer may include the use of transarterial oily chemoembolization (TOCE), percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT), chemotherapy, or liver transplantation. At a single institution in Hong Kong, 244 consecutive patients treated with curative resection were followed for intrahepatic recurrence. Of the 244 patients followed, 139 patients did not develop intrahepatic recurrence and had 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of 87%, 79%, and 74%, respectively. Of the 105 patients who developed subsequent intrahepatic recurrences, 11 patients were treated with re-resection and had 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of 81%, 70%, and 69%, respectively; 71 patients were treated with TOCE and had 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of 72%, 38%, and 20%, respectively; 6 patients were treated with PEIT and had 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates of 67%, 22%, and 0%, respectively; the remaining 17 patients had either systemic chemotherapy or conservative treatment, and had no survivors at 3 years.[Level of evidence: 3iiA] Clinical trials are appropriate and should be considered whenever possible.

Joltin' Jack-In Boxia Production Information
Production Notes:
In this surreal animated saga, we get to know the tale of Princess Dawn, who must find the Whispering Orchid's cave (and the Crystal Key hidden therein) in order to save her kingdom from the Curse of Gloom, which has been placed by the evil Grump. To aid her, Princess Dawn summons young Terry Dexter, a boy from Earth, and in their flying machine, accompanied by their bizarre pet Bip. They journey through a myriad of strange countries in a fantasy world in their quest for the key. But the Grump (a mix between a demon and a dwarf) is set to spoil their mission, following them close on their trail, atop a bumbling, allergic and stupid Dragon with which he often quarrels. Along the way, the Princess is kidnapped, they meet Mother Goose, Bip finds true love, and Terry is corrupted (only to be turned back to normal later)...

Why Is Organic Food More Expensive?
Most people assume that organic food cost less to produce. Why wouldn't they be? Isn't organic food grown on organic farms that are free from chemicals and pesticides? How expensive could it possibly be to cultivate a farm using the most basic elements that earth supplies – soil, rain and sun? It would be nice if growing organic food was truly this simple. However, it's a lot more complex than this. The agricultural businesses are heavily subsidized through our tax dollars, whereas organic farms do not receive any government help. This is the reason that conventional foods are far cheaper to buy. Our tax dollars underwrite a substantial part of the financial burden that conventional agriculture incurs.
This ludicrous situation was birthed out of an honorable intent by the American government to help ease the severe food shortage of the Great Depression in the 1930's. In a desperate attempt to prevent further wide-spread starvation and famine, President Roosevelt introduced the subsidies to help sustain the farm industry. Albeit the subsidies, were predetermined as a temporary solution, the allocation of them persisted far beyond the Depression, developing into the multi-million dollar political platform that it currently is.
Organic food is also more expensive by virtue of agrichemicals that are created to make conventional farming methods cheaper to practice. The agrichemicals agricultural industry was developed with one purpose in mind – to make mass production of food cheaper and quicker. There was never any forethought on nutrition, health or the environment in the design of agrichemicals.
So, has the government conspired against organic food?
I'll let you answer that question for yourself. Despite the fact that agribusinesses receive government subsidies, there is another vitally reason that hikes up the cost of organic foods – supply and demand. You, as a consumer, tell the government what you are willing to pay for food and what quality of food you want on account of your purchases. Since the demand for conventional food far outweighs the demand for organic food, the government will continue to subsidize traditional agribusinesses thus maintaining the high costs of organic food.
While the demand for conventional food is higher than that of organic food, the issuing of government subsidies to the conventional agricultural industry is an archaic policy that should be defunct. Or at the very least these subsidies should be open to organic farmers as well. Subsidies that are issued to agribusiness are creating an excessive food surplus that is simply disposed of each year. Over 100 billion pounds of food is wasted in America each year and this is largely in part to food production that can't possibly be eaten. Hunger should not be an issue in America because there is far more food produced in our country than can be consumed. The disturbing fact is that a very small percentage of this surplus actually goes to food banks and organizations that help the needy.
Government subsidies would be better served by helping small local farmers, organic farms, community supported agricultural programs, food co-ops, etc so America can eat healthier and have better quality foods.

Thanks to Strong Finishes Throughout the Season, TSSC-trained Skiers Head to End-of-Season Championship Events
TELLURIDE – Local freestyle skiers closed their season on the North American Cup (NorAm) tour with a flourish last week, with mogul skiers again posting praiseworthy results at the series' season finale event at Stratton Mountain, in Vermont.
Four of Telluride's NorAm athletes have landed spots on the U.S. Ski Team's Development team for next season. Keaton McCargo, Kelsey Albert, Troy Tulley, and Thomas Rowley all earned invitations to compete with the U.S. Ski Team thanks to their top-ten rankings following this winter's NorAm Cup tour.
Telluride-bred mogulist McCargo maintained her place on the podium at last weekend's competition, flying in at third place in women's dual moguls and landing a top-ten in single moguls, to go eighth overall. This wrapped up a winning NorAm season for McCargo, who scored double wins in Canada, and another bronze medal at the Telluride event during the month of February.
Teammates Albert, Tulley, Rowley, and Kealey Zaumseil also notched notable weekend results: Albert finished eighth and 12th in dual and single moguls, respectively, while Rowley also enjoyed consistency during the two-day event with a 13th place finish in duals, and 16th in singles. Tully landed just out of the podium in the dual moguls contest, at fifth place overall, while Zaumseil placed 25th and 23rd in singles and duals, respectively.
Last weekend's results exemplified what Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club (TSSC) freestyle coach Kris Pepe says has been the best season ever for Telluride's NorAm cup skiers, who are competing just one level below the illustrious World Cup.
TSSC athletes have won a total of seven podium places this year in comparison to years past, during which Telluride would earn just one or two medals. "It's been exciting, with skiers in the top five in seven of eight events" over the course of the tour, Pepe said.
Points accumulations over the four events put McCargo at fourth overall in the tour, making her the third-highest-ranked American in the NorAm Cup. Both Albert and Tulley finished the season ranked seventh, while Rowley took ninth.
Each of the four Telluride-trained skiers were ranked in the Tour's top five among Americans not already competing for the U.S. Ski Team, demonstrating this team's potential for ski season.
"It's a high-caliber team made up of great friends who push each other and support each other. That really makes traveling, training, and competing so much easier, when you're doing it with people you get along with," Pepe says of the dynamic that helped catapult skiers to the uppermost echelons of NorAm's competitive circuit this winter. The positive energy exists not just among members of the NorAm team, Pepe says; it is also present throughout the entire TSSC freestyle team this year.
A slew of Telluride skiers departed this week for the Junior Nationals competition, held at Park City Mountain Resort March 5-10. There, Telluride athletes McCargo, Zaumseil, Rowley, Morgan Osborne, Benni Solomon, Clement Cabrol, Skylar Nunn, and Emma Spaulding will join the country's 60 top-ranked men and women aged 18 years-and-under in single and dual moguls events.
Pending results from that competition, Telluride could very well be sending skiers to the U.S. Nationals event, which takes place at Heavenly Valley, Calif. at the end of this month. Keaton and Rowley have been named to the World Championship Team, and will compete in single and dual moguls in Valmelonco, Italy that same weekend.

From staff reports
After the girls' state hockey championship game Saturday night, which Greely won 1-0 in overtime, the Greely and Scarborough players shook hands and then stood on their respective blue lines to receive their awards.
Thornton's Jeff Gelinas hooks a shot over Deering's Thiwat Thiwat during Saturday's 49-40 overtime shocker in the Western Class A tournament in Portland. The Golden Trojans play Bonny Eagle Wednesday in the semifinals.

After Scarborough goalie Devan Kane was handed her medal, she made the gesture of skating over to the Greely players and shaking their hands again. Kane knew many of the players from youth hockey games. She heard a lot of compliments when they shook hands the first time.
"They were a good team to play against and I appreciated the nice things they said to me (after the game)," Kane said. "I just wanted to tell them great job."
When Greely received its medals, Paige Tuller made the same gesture, skating over to the Red Storm players.
"They had an amazing season," Tuller said. "They deserved (recognition), too."
NOW THAT GREELY has won back-to-back titles, is a three-peat possible? That will be a challenge with eight seniors leaving this team. However, there is a foundation with junior forward Sarah Kurland and sophomores Mary Morrison (defense) and Maura Perry (goalie) among the leading underclassmen.
In talking to girls' basketball coaches before the tournaments began, they all stressed the importance of limiting turnovers. That was never more evident that in Camden Hills' 55-39 upset of Oceanside in the Eastern Class B quarterfinals.
Oceanside, ranked second, had beaten Camden Hills twice in the regular season, the second time in the last game, 63-38, on Feb. 7. In that game, the Windjammers committed 22 turnovers.
Eight days later, Camden Hills committed only 12 turnovers -- a season-low, according to Coach Marty Messer.
While Jordan Knowlton had her usual standout game -- 23 points (10 for 11 at the foul line), 14 rebounds and four assists, Messer complimented the work of sophomore center Rachel Pease.
Pease had 14 points, 13 rebounds and five blocked shots while guarding Oceanside's leading scorer, Kennadi Grover.
"Rachel is five or six inches taller than Kennadi and she really limited her offensive chances," said Messer, noting Grover scored only two points in the second half.
Now the seventh-ranked Windjammers face No.3 Nokomis in Wednesday's semifinals. Nokomis beat Camden Hills 60-38 back on Jan. 5. "We're hoping to turn another one around," said Messer.
BILL GOODMAN, the coach of top-ranked, unbeaten and two-time defending Class A state champ McAuley, said his team is taking nothing for granted. The Lions have dominated every opponent this year and have a great all-around game.
But Goodman knows anything can happen in a playoff.
"You're talking to the coach of the team (Greely) that went 0 for 17 in 3-pointers against York in the Western Maine finals one year," he said. "And then the next year had 11 turnovers in the first quarter to fall way behind. I'm speaking from experience."
NO ONE in the Western Maine Conference was surprised that No.11 Wells upset No. 6 Gray-New Gloucester in the Western Class B preliminary round, earning a spot to play No. 3 Spruce Mountain (18-0) in the quarterfinals.
The Warriors, who don't have a senior on the team, were expected to be one of the contenders this year, but struggled with consistency. Now they're playing very well, led by forward Alison Furness.
"That team," said Chris Casterella, the coach at Cape Elizabeth, "that's the team that everyone expected to see all year."
CHARLIE FAY and Grant Burfiend of Falmouth have teamed up several times this season for some crowd-pleasing plays.
They did it again Saturday in the Western Maine Class B quarterfinals against Maranacook at the Portland Expo. Late in the third quarter, Burfiend was just a little strong on a semi-breakaway layup, but not to worry. There was the 6-foot-5 Fay trailing to slam it down. The play provided some excitement in the one-sided game, won by the top-seeded Yachtsmen, 58-30.

Hmm, a serious vote? I had to look through Some7hingCLEVER's posts to see what you mean. As usual this game makes me paranoid, but keeping that in mind, I can't see anything particularly suspect with the posts. Therefore I start wondering about the motive for your serious vote instead. There's that paranoia again.
Gustaf Wasa wrote:(And here I thought handlebars had something to do with dumbbells. Should have looked it up I guess.)aage wrote:Screw this joke phase thing. It's terrible.
Agree, we are not getting anywhere.
Hippo hey, no need for sarcasm. Seemed to me too you showed genuine suspicion for Some7hingCLEVER. Usually a joke vote is something like "vote XX for bad taste" etc, not "vote XX for suspect posts".
Anyway, I stand by my vote for Little Witt. I don't know why he should refrain from posting with the motivation that we are still in the beginning and there isn't much to go on. If we all said that, the game would be silent.... If he stops by to post in other games, I think he would be likely to post here at the same time. Unless he is trying to fly under the radar.
Gustaf Wasa wrote:Some7hingCLEVER wrote:I saw his post as a joke. If I can remember he said I had my head in my butt and poop on my hand haha. I don't believe it to be serious.
Of course I knew it was said in a joking way. He could harbor suspicion but say it in a joking way. Seems people finally got something to analyze for a while.
rishaed wrote:Some7hingCLEVER wrote:I don't think the joke vote stage is over unless we get something scummy out of this miscommunication. Otherwise we are in the same place we started.
@mod- has that prod been placed yet?
If you are talking about the one on Witt, The prod had been given, and he did respond 2 posts down after issuing it. If you wanted me to prod someone else I didn't catch it.
Mod Note: If I see things stalling over the weekend, If there are no objections I might shorten up the deadline , however I will leave it at the full length right now, seeing as this is normal coming out of the joke vote phase on D1.
Nebuchadnezer wrote:Right, not much to go on here, but Gustafa...look at the large print...you sure seemed to indicate that you took this as a serious vote. So your "of course I knew it was said in a joking way" is a deceptive post, if not an outright lie, based on your previous posts. It's small, and inconsequential, so I won't push any further, but you'll need to start playing more honestly if you are going to help town.
thehippo8 wrote:What I find interesting - when you see those quotes placed together like that - is just how much it looks like Gustaf was trying to protect Clever.

I developed a plug-in last night really quick so that I could post to community server blogs.
Currently it supports:
I am going to post the project to GotDotNet or SourceForge later today, before I post the project and submit it to NewsGator are there any other necessary features you can think of before it's out the door?
A friend (Brian Desmond) just pointed this shirt out to me and I thought of many system administrators I know. If your system administrator has a birthday or some other special event coming up chip in and make their day!
On Tuesday I decided I would try NewsGator again as my blog reader. I was noticing that I already spend most of my time in Outlook during the day so why not read my feeds in there too. I tried NewsGator really early on, but decided that it just wasn't for me at the time. This time was different. I have fell in love with NewsGator and it has been making my blog reading much easier over the past two days.
I started looking at how I could post to my blog from within Outlook as well, since NewsGator happened to have the posting option. I looked at the plugins that are provided on the NewsGator site and found one that works with .Text. This was great, but didn't solve all of my problems. I actually tend to post to a few .Text blogs during the day and I wanted to have this option from within Outlook. I began searching, but didn't find anything… so I decided to write my own plugin. I have wrapped the current .Text plugin within my own which allows you to configure and post to various .Text blogs very easily. It doesn't support posting the same thing to multiple blogs though this would be possible.
I had thought about releasing the plugin, but figured there probably aren't too many people out there that would find this too useful. If I am wrong and you would like to see such a plugin let me know, I will wrap it with an installer and distribute it.
A friend just showed this to me and all I have to say is wow! I have seen quite a few hockey videos, hot shots, etc.. This one is deffinetly at the top:
While I haven't sat down with my PM yet to discuss my goals over the next year or so at Microsoft, one of my own personal goals over the 12 months is to become known as the C# Blog or C# Blogger (or at least one of the top 10). I am currently in a very unique position as a C# MVP moving to the C# team, I know what community is all about and I also know what MVPs and others are looking for from us internally.
Many of the people that have heard I am going to Microsoft are bummed, because they feel they are going to be losing a great community advocate. Let me make this statement in public that my view of the community and my aspirations to be involved will not change. I would expect to see a slump this summer with the move, new job, and wedding, but let me assure you that my evangelic passion will rise to the challenge and continue to drive forward.
Anyhow begin to look for lots of great C# posts from me in the future. Please also feel free to ask lots of questions as I would be more then happy to follow these up with some form of a write up.
This morning I finally made the decision on whether or not I would accept the offer from Microsoft. Catie and I talked about this for a long time, we discussed the pros and con and really both areas are great but it came down to a few little things.We just wanted to be sure that we were making the right decision for the both of us and not one just one of us. The trip out to this area was great for Catie she really loves the area and was happy to get to meet with some of the people I may have been working with, overall she had a great time but part of her was still really sad about making this move... anyhow after we talked about it she agreed Redmond would be the best place. I have accepted the offer and will be moving to the area shortly after I graduate. :-D

Michael Essien
- Squad No: 5
- Position: Midfielder
- Age: 31
- Birth Date: Dec 3, 1982
- Birth Place: Accra, Ghana
- Height: 5' 11'' (1.80m)
- Weight: 172 kg
2013/14 Italian Serie A
In 2005, Chelsea fought off stiff competition from Manchester United to pay £24.4 million for a Ghanaian central midfield with a fine reputation after some outstanding performances for Lyon - but few could have predicted just how crucial Essien would become for the Blues.
He moved to France in 2001, joining Bastia from Liberty Professionals, and reached the French Cup final in his debut season before joining Lyon, where two Championship medals and the 2004-05 French Players' Player of the Year award followed.
In his prime, Essien was a commanding figure in the middle of the park - a fearsome tackler but also able to drive the team forward with powerful runs. He has also shown great versatility, playing on the right-hand side of both defence and midfield.
Essien tasted success early in his career as he picked up a gold medal with Ghana at the African Under-17 Championships, a bronze medal at World Under-17 Championships and silver at the World Youth Championships. The midfielder made his full debut for Ghana at the 2002 African Nations Cup and helped the Black Stars reach the World Cup for the first ever time in 2006. Essien ruptured his cruciate ligament in a World Cup qualifier in September 2008, but after returning in March he has helped secure Ghana's place at the 2010 finals.
But Essien has struggled to recover from that knee injury and was injured again at the 2010 African Nations Cup final, an injury that cost him a place at the World Cup finals on African soil.
Essien picked up a second Premier League title in 2009-10, but injury restricted him to just 13 starts in the league, and he showed little sign of returning to his former self before being shipped off on loan in the summer of 2012 to Real Madrid and Mourinho.
Strengths: When at his best, his power, drive and relentless work-rate are phenomenal, and he also possesses an incredible shot from distance.
Weaknesses: His aerial ability has been a longstanding problem, but more significant now is that he looks to have been sapped of his power.
Career High: In 2006, he won the Premier League title with Chelsea and played for Ghana in their inaugural World Cup in Germany, as well as being nominated for the FIFA World Player of the Year award.
Career Low: Two years spent fighting knee problems, which forced him to miss the African Nations Cup and the World Cup in Africa in 2010.
Style: Combative box-to-box midfielder who likes to be involved with play at all times, whether in defence or attack.
Quotes: "Essien is one of the finest players in the world and will fit into any team. Any team will like to have such a talent in their set-up" - Ghana assistant coach Akwesi Appiah, May 2011.
Trivia: Essien's nickname is "The Bison" because of his powerful physical presence.

Overweight is about fat stored and losing weight is about encouraging the body to release stored fat. In no way is the body as simplistic as energy in = energy out. We do not need to put less energy in and/or try to get more energy out, therefore.
We need to eat better, not to eat less.
We need to Stop Counting Calories in order to start losing weight. Come and join a growing group of people that are losing weight and gaining health, The Harcombe Diet way.
Very best wishes – Zoë x

Office of the President
President's Welcome
Welcome to Coppin State University - a purpose driven, urban university committed to academic excellence and service to the community.
I am pleased to join the Coppin State University family as your interim president during this period of transition. I would like to express my appreciation to Chancellor Kirwan for entrusting me with this tremendous leadership responsibility and for his support of Coppin.
I am coming to you after serving 35 years in Higher Education leadership and a brief period of retirement and independent consulting. Please be assured that I come with no preconceived notion of dramatically changing the institution on my own. Of course, as with any new leader, administrative changes can be expected, but these changes will come with appropriate input and in the best interest of the university. My philosophy is that it is always more prudent to err on the side of inclusiveness than on the side of exclusiveness.
Early in my short tenure at Coppin, I hope to engage as many of you as possible in small group discussions to identify strategies for meeting the USM system goals for closing the achievement gap, ensuring student success, improving financial accountability and enhancing our overall efficiency and productivity. I am committed to shared governance with the caveat shared governance requires shared accountability, responsible leadership and superior customer service to meet the needs of our primary clientele - our students.
Coppin State University has a strong legacy of service to Baltimore and the state of Maryland. Together we can recapture that period of greatness by identifying and focusing on our strengths and addressing our challenges.
I come to you with a firm commitment to the three priorities of our public universities – learning, discovery, and engagement. It is critical to ensure that we have the appropriate learning environment for our students to be successful and perform at their best. The learning environment must be customer friendly always remembering that the students are our primary reason for being here. Our faculty must engage in research so that they can be current, competitive, relevant and true participants in the intellectual life of the campus.
Coppin must be a dynamic university. Its location demands this. We must identify our clientele and the constituencies we wish to serve and create an enabling environment for local, community and economic development.
As you are aware, the USM Board of Regents established a special review committee to undertake a comprehensive review of CSU and develop strategies for the university's future success. This is a clear indication of the Chancellor's and the Board's commitment to the success of Coppin. My role will be to begin the implementation of these strategies and facilitate a smooth transition for your next president.
While the review committee, under the excellent and able leadership of Dr. Freeman Hrabowski is hard at work, I will proceed with some priorities which require our immediate attention:
- Retention and Graduation rate
- Governance/Structural issues
- Achieving a balanced budget
- Revisiting our Strategic Plan and Accreditation Issues
I look forward to collaborating with many of you as together we attempt to recreate a Coppin that we can all be proud of.
I thank Dr. Reginald Avery for his years of service and dedication to Coppin State University. Please join me in wishing him well in his future endeavors.
Mortimer H. Neufville, Ph.D.
Interim President

Attorney seeks bond reduction for Holston10:16 am | November 16, 2012
Assistant Public Defender Melanie Sellers is seeking a reduction in Tiffani Holston's bond on a first-degree murder charge, which was set by Judge Robert Cupp at $50,000.
Sellers' third motion in the case was was filed Thursday in Carter County Circuit Court.
If Holston makes the bond, however, bond had been revoked on unrelated charges.
The Carter County grand jury indicted 27-year-old Holston on Tuesday in the death of her son, 4-year-old Joshua Holston. The boy was killed when he crossed Broad Street at Lynn Avenue on Oct. 11 and was struck by a dump truck. The Elizabethton Police Department investigated and took evidence to the grand jury Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Sellers filed two motions, to restrict public comments by court and law enforcement officials and to dismiss the charges against Holston.

One of your valves may have a cross-over leak which lets the hot-cold interchange. This will make the hot line warm as well as the cold one, and limit how hot things can get elsewhere in the house. As to the hot volume, that hose may have a kink in it or that valve may have a screen filter on it's inlet that is plugged.
All modern anti-scald valves have a max temp adjustment to them...yours may be set incorrectly. This adjustment might be a screw, a cam, a piece of plastic with notches pushed into the handle, etc. Its whole purpose is to limit hot hot the valve can get - you may need to adjust that.

Only die-hard loyalists noticed when Logitech quietly killed its Squeezebox media players in August, which probably explains the snuff job.
Techies and critics loved the Squeezebox — I ended a review three years ago of the just-issued Squeezebox Radio by saying there has never been a clock radio like it. But the Squeezebox's complex setup and quirky operation might have flummoxed the everyday electronics consumer.
Logitech's new UE series, a byproduct of its 2008 acquisition of the Ultimate Ears earphone company, includes a retooled and simplified Smart Radio, wireless speakers, noise-isolating earphones and headphones in search of a bigger, broader audience.
Here's a quick look at two UE products.
UE Smart Radio
Since that 2009 review, I have yet to see another Internet-connected radio better than the Squeezebox Radio. That includes Logitech's dead-ringer UE Smart Radio, a slightly dumber Squeezebox with a ready-to-use menu and more elegant smartphone app that, indeed, should make it less intimidating to newbie users.
The Smart Radio still connects to thousands of Internet radio stations and premium music services like Spotify, Slacker and MOG over a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. It also streams music from the owner's in-house music library, even wakes you each morning to music of your choice.
To add the music services or play your own music over a home network, you must install the UE Music Server on your Windows or Mac computer. Just as the new radio is the old radio, the new UE server is the old Squeezebox server without some of the features techies loved, like third-party plug-ins with an "app gallery" and controlling the radio via the server.
Casual users will not miss those features, but Squeezebox Radio owners fear abandonment by Logitech. The company says it will still provide troubleshooting and support for users of the old radio and the old server, but it's encouraging Squeezebox Radio owners to move to the UE server, and its lesser features, with a firmware update.
The UE Smart Radio, at $180, also includes a built-in battery, a $50 option with the original Squeezebox Radio. That obviously makes the Smart Radio more mobile, but how mobile can it be with a Wi-Fi connection. For a truly mobile device, you're better off with a battery-powered Bluetooth speaker that will play anywhere your smartphone goes.
As a bedside clock radio or as table radio for the kitchen or den, the UE Smart Radio is still better than anything I've seen since the Squeezebox Radio.
UE Boombox
The $250 UE Boombox, with its sculpted aluminum handle and perforated-metal grille, is a clear upgrade from Logitech's $150 Wireless Boombox.
Though it can powered by an nearby electrical outlet, the UE Boombox is foremost a portable speaker that uses Bluetooth technology for wireless music transmission from a smartphone or tablet. the A2DP Bluetooth audio profile guarantees two things: swift pairing with almost any Bluetooth-compatible device and highly compressed audio.
The UE Boombox's sound panders to populist tastes — the most distinguishing characteristic is its bass. Unfortunately, it's not adjustable. The minimalist Boombox has only an oversize rubberized volume control, plus or minus, that takes up the entire left side panel.
Yet the Boombox never sounds obnoxiously bottom-heavy. The amount of sound coming from this portable speaker, about 15 inches long and only about 3 deep, will surprise. Logitech, with Ultimate Ears, designed it with two half-inch tweeters and a trio of 3-inch drivers for lower frequencies, all powered by a 15-watt Class D amplifier. The lowest frequencies come from four 2.75-inch passive radiators, not powered by the amplifier but moving to the energy of the other drivers' movement.
The UE Boombox encourages communal listening too: The Bluetooth button, on the right side panel, allows the connection of up to three mobile devices simultaneously. That's the boombox spirit.
What: Logitech UE Smart Radio
Price: $180, ue.logitech.com
Hot: A simplified, easy-to-use successor to the Squeezebox Radio. Good sound for its size and, with all its music options via the Internet, an exceptional modern radio.
Not: Sooner or later, owners of the original radio likely will lose the features that made the Squeezebox a cult favorite.
What: UE Boombox
Price: $250, ue.logitech.com
Hot: Great looks, good sound in a portable Bluetooth speaker.
Not: Bass, sometime overpowering, not adjustable.
