DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Argos Therapeutics Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of fully personalized immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases using its Arcelis™ technology platform, today announced that the company will present a trial-in-progress update on the company's ongoing pivotal phase 3 clinical trial of AGS-003 for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The update will be presented in a poster presentation entitled "ADAPT: An Ongoing International Phase III Randomized Trial of Autologous Dendritic Cell Immunotherapy (AGS 003) Plus Standard Treatment in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)" on Saturday, February 1, 2014, at 6:45 AM during General Poster Session C at the Genitourinary Cancers Symposium being held in San Francisco.
The ADAPT study is a randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial designed to evaluate AGS-003, an investigational, fully personalized immunotherapy, in combination with standard targeted drug therapy, to determine the potential to extend overall survival in newly-diagnosed, intermediate and poor risk mRCC patients. Secondary endpoints in this study include progression-free survival, safety, overall response and immune response. The ADAPT trial is expected to enroll 450 patients in approximately 140 sites in North America, Europe, and Israel under an approved Special Protocol Assessment by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. As previously announced, Argos remains on track to complete enrollment in the ADAPT trial by the end of 2014.
"With more than 110 sites now active, we are continuing to make great progress in advancing the ADAPT phase 3 trial, and anticipate reaching full enrollment by the end of this year. This patient-specific immunotherapy, combined with targeted drug therapy, has the potential to support improvements in overall survival for these newly diagnosed, intermediate and poor risk mRCC patients, for whom the survival rate is currently only 14-16 months, on average, with approved targeted therapies," said Robert Figlin, director of the Division of Hematology/Oncology at Cedars-Sinai and co-lead principal investigator for the ADAPT trial.
To create AGS-003, ribonucleic acid (RNA) is isolated from a small tumor sample obtained from standard tumor removal surgery (nephrectomy). The patient's dendritic cells are obtained from a single leukapheresis procedure. The tumor RNA is used to "program" these further optimized dendritic cells with the entire disease-antigen repertoire to trigger an immune response against the patient´s specific cancer. These antigen-loaded dendritic cells are then formulated into a simple, ready-to-use, intradermal injection.
"In the ADAPT trial, a small tumor sample obtained from routine nephrectomy followed by a single, standard leukapheresis collection are obtained from each patient through simple procedures which support streamlined enrollment. In the overall trial experience to date, AGS-003 has been readily integrated into standard surgical and medical treatment for participating metastatic RCC patients, which has helped to build significant enthusiasm among investigators, as well as the broader oncology research and clinical communities supporting this important research effort," said Christopher Wood, professor and deputy chairman, Douglas E. Johnson, M.D. Professorship, Department of Urology, MD Anderson Cancer Center.
About the Arcelis™ Technology Platform
Arcelis is a fully personalized immunotherapy technology that captures mutated and variant antigens that are specific to each patient's disease. It is designed to overcome immunosuppression by producing a durable memory T cell response without adjuvants that may be associated with toxicity. The technology is potentially applicable to a wide range of different cancers and infectious diseases and is designed to overcome many of the manufacturing and commercialization challenges that have impeded other personalized immunotherapies.
The Arcelis process uses only a small tumor or blood sample and the patient's own dendritic cells, which are collected and optimized following a single leukapheresis procedure. The proprietary process uses RNA isolated from the patient's disease sample to program dendritic cells to target disease antigens. The activated, antigen-loaded dendritic cells are then formulated into the patient's plasma and administered via intradermal injection.

A former Bryant teacher posted bail shortly after she surrendered voluntarily at the Saline County Detention Center on Wednesday morning, authorities say.
Courtney Speer, 31, has been charged with six counts of sexual assault of a minor: four counts in Bryant and two counts in Benton.
Lt. Don Birdsong of the Saline County Detention Center said Speer was released after posting bond. Bail was set at $20,000 and the court date is slated for Nov. 13.
Three Saline County men were arrested after they allegedly broke into a home and shot a man.
Lt. Kevin Russell, public information officer for the Benton Police Department, said this was not a random act of violence.
"There was a history of ongoing personal conflicts between all of the suspects and the victim, but nothing violent until this incident," he explained.
A Benton institution closed at the end of the day Sunday.
Longhills Golf Course owners Bud and Mary Jean Busken and Jeff and Sam Hamm are ending their oversight of the operation that has served the community for more than a half-century.
The owners have been trying to sell the property for some time to Lindsey Management Co., which has wanted to build an upscale apartment complex at the site while continuing to operate the golf course with its swimming pool, tennis courts and other amenities.
A former Bryant teacher is suspected of sexual assault of a minor.
Courtney Speer, 31, allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old Bryant High School student, according to Benton police. Speer resigned Monday from her position as 9th grade English teacher at Bryant High School.
The case is a joint investigation with the Benton and Bryant Police Departments, because incidents occurred in both jurisdictions, on school property and at Speer's Benton home.
At the time of the alleged incidents, Speer was employed as a teacher at Bryant High School.
Shane Knight has resigned as chairman of the Saline County Republican Committee.
Rumors of his resignation had been circulating around Saline County for the past week and Knight posted on his Facebook page Sunday that he had made a political move.
Steve McDaniel, second vice chairman of the committee, confirmed Knight's resignation Sunday night. McDaniel did not state the reason for Knight's resignation, but added "the Republican Party will carry on and Shane isn't the first chairman to have to resign because of personal conflicts."
Nov. 5, 2010, began as any other day for 36-year-old Sherri Cathey, a teacher at Bethel Middle School. Staff and students were out of school that fall day and, like most teachers, Cathey mother to four daughters - was trying to squeeze in all of those necessary doctor and dentist appointments.  She never made it to the dentist. Within minutes of seeing her doctor for pain under her arms, it was determined she had swollen lymph nodes. The doctor ordered Cathey to go directly to Baptist Breast Center and to call her husband, Mike, to meet her there.
The Alexander City Council called a special meeting late Friday and discussed at length about three items, but one item was tabled and another was dropped.
Mayor Paul Mitchell informed the council that Saline County District Judge Curtis Rickard requested the council to vote on a resolution that would authorize him to hire a court clerk. Rickard also requested the council set the salary for the court clerk position, which Mitchell said had been advertised recently at $9 an hour.
A car wash fundraiser will be held Saturday at the J.T. Peterson Volunteer Fire Department in Bauxite.
The event will begin at 7 a.m. on the parking lot, located next to Bauxite City Hall on Arkansas 183. The public is invited and firefighters will be among the volunteers washing the vehicles. Donations are accepted.
The money raised will be used for the purchase of lifesaving equipment and training for Bauxite firefighters.
For more information, call Bauxite City Hall at 557-5936 or the J.T. Peterson Volunteer Fire Department at 557-2000.
It is not every day that the average person gets a chance to save lives, but that can be the case on Saturday with Operation Medicine Cabinet VI.
Benton District Court Judge Mike Robinson has sentenced 48-year-old Sheila Blair to two days in jail for violating terms of her parole.
Since 1995, Blair has racked up a total of 10 DWI arrests and a slew of various charges, including endangering the welfare of minor.
In conjunction with Blair's latest arrest by Bryant police on Monday for public intoxication and disorderly conduct, she is scheduled to appear in Bryant District Court on Nov. 7.

Why put the cheese on top of the burger when half of it just melts off? Instead, form the burger around the cheese so you can char the meat and safeguard the more delicate flavors. Use any mixture of hard or semihard cheeses--Emmentaler and Gouda or Asiago and Parmigiano-Reggiano also pair well.
Spicy Southwest flavors pair with sweet and tangy pickled red onions to create a standout turkey burger. If you're used to having your burgers made of beef with plenty of melted cheese on top, don't worry. You won't be disappointed. Serve with corn on the cob and sweet potato fries.
Mixing dried cherries into ground beef reduces fat and increases antioxidants. Serve the burgers with your favorite garnishes.
This healthy burger recipe features a spicy fajita burger slathered with a spicy chipotle mayonnaise and topped with roasted Anaheim peppers and a delicious slaw. Serve it on an oblong bun.
These tasty turkey burgers, served on toasted focaccia and dressed with marinara sauce, are reminiscent of a sausage pizza. Shredded mozzarella combined with fresh basil melts beautifully inside these gems.
This Spanish-themed burger is boldly flavored with sautéed onions (which keep it moist), paprika, garlic and green olives. The creamy mayonnaise spread is tangy with lemon and a hint of earthy saffron.
These bean burgers will even please carnivores. The cornmeal coating gives a pleasant crunch and smoked paprika, cumin, cilantro and guacamole add Southwestern flavor.
We love a good, juicy burger, and if you make them with lean meat and keep an eye on portion size, they can be part of a healthy eating plan too. Our healthy burger recipes let you enjoy a juicy burger without the guilt. If you're bored with your current burger recipe, try experimenting with fish, vegetables and grains, as well as herbs, spices—even fruit! Your family will love a turkey burger stuffed with mozzarella cheese and topped with marinara sauce. Or skip the frozen veggie burgers and make veggie burgers from scratch—it's easier than you think and much more delicious. Get inspired with these delicious new burger recipes.
I love that Crab burger! Just great!

Arachidonic Acid
Arachidonic Acid
While there are many reports of studies that fed arachidonic acid (AA) to animals, there are very few reports of AA feeding to humans under controlled conditions.
The basal (low-AA) diet consisted of natural foods (30 en% fat, 15 en% protein, and 55 en% carbohydrate), containing 210 mg/d of AA, and met the recommended daily allowance for all nutrients. The high-AA (intervention) diet was similar except that 1.5 g/d of AA in the form of a triglyceride containing 50% AA replaced an equal amount of high-oleic safflower oil in the basal diet.
The main indices studied were the fatty acid composition of the plasma, red blood cells, platelets, and adipose tissue; in vitro platelet aggregation, bleeding times, clotting factors; immune response as measured by delayed hypersensitivity skin tests, cellular proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in response to various mitogens and antigens, natural killer cell activity, and response to measles/mumps/rubella and influenza vaccines; the metabolic conversion of deuterated linoleic acid to AA and the metabolic fate of deuterated AA in the subjects on and off the high-AA diet; and the production of eicosanoids as measured by excretion of 11-DTXB2 and PGI2-M in urine.
The results of these studies will be presented in the next five papers from this symposium.
Nelson GJ et al., A human dietary arachidonic acid supplementation study conducted in a metabolic research unit: rationale and design. Lipids, 1997 Apr, 32:4, 415-20.
Blood Coagulation
Blood Coagulation
Arachidonic acid (AA) is the precursor of thromboxane and prostacyclin, two of the most active compounds related to platelet function. The effect of dietary AA on platelet function in humans is not understood although a previous study suggested dietary AA might have adverse physiological consequences on platelet function.
The in vivo bleeding times did not show a significant difference before and after the subjects consumed the high-AA diet. Platelets exhibited only small changes in their AA content during the AA feeding period. The results from this study on blood clotting parameters and in vitro platelet aggregation suggest that adding 1.5 g/d of dietary AA for 50 d to a typical Western diet containing about 200 mg of AA produces no observable physiological changes in blood coagulation and thrombotic tendencies in healthy, adult males compared to the unsupplemented diet.
Thus, moderate intakes of foods high in AA have few effects on blood coagulation, platelet function, or platelet fatty acid composition.

Blood Flow
Blood Flow
Although the rules about flows seem complex and even at times suggest chaos, some general principles can be extracted and used by the radiologist. Normal arteries damp disturbances, tolerate our catheters well, and generally cause the "blood"'s slipstreams to swirl. It seems that the swirls and the energy that accompanies the passage of those swirls are prime determiners of the development of degenerative changes, most importantly of "atherosclerosis" and berry aneurysms.
The MR scanner not only allows calculation of global flow in vessels but also analyzes individual slipstreams.

Blood Sampling
Blood Sampling
Assessed the reactions of parents and their children to the request for a blood sample and an attempt to take blood.
866 questionnaires were returned; 790 were from parents of children in whom an attempt to take blood had been successful. Thirteen per cent said that their child had given blood previously. About 30% discussed the request with the family doctor or nurse. Some 90% said that they were given enough information and that the phlebotomist was sympathetic. Attempting to take blood caused upset in over 50%, which, in most, lasted for less than five minutes. A substantial minority were upset for up to 30 minutes and a few much longer.
Bruising or bleeding occurred in 20-27%. Degree and duration of upset were both adversely associated with a failed attempt to obtain blood.
The majority of preschool children experienced no more than a little upset of short duration after an attempt to take blood, but a substantial minority exhibited a greater degree of upset. These responses should be taken into account when assessing the benefits and risks of the procedure. The best equipment and expertise should be employed for taking blood as successful attempts are less upsetting.
Davies PS et al., Parents' and children's reactions to taking blood in a nutrition survey. Arch Dis Child, 1996 Oct, 75:4, 309-13.
Cerebral Blood Flow
Cerebral Blood Flow
The patients showing "dizziness" or "syncope" when tilted to a 70 degrees upright position exhibited characteristic reverse flow at the end-diastolic phase on the Doppler flow image of both the common carotid and vertebral arteries. Reverse flow was not seen in any patients who did not have dizziness or syncope.
After subjects were tilted from a supine to a 70 degrees upright position, decrease in the peripheral blood flow of the patients with orthostatic "hypotension" remained unchanged for at least 5 minutes, whereas that of control subjects was recovered within 2 minutes.

Dietary Fish Oil
Dietary Fish Oil
Triglyceride lowering is the most consistent effect of fish oils, having been observed in Greenland Eskimos and subsequently in controlled clinical trials. Although total cholesterol levels are not altered, LDL levels may rise, especially in hypertriglyceridemic patients. The persistence of the hypotriglyceridemic effect has been documented in two recent trials following large numbers of patients from 6-9 months. These studies also provided evidence that the LDL raising effect may not persist.
The safety of fish oils was also supported in these studies because problems with excessive bleeding and worsening glycemic control did not materialize. However, in one of these studies fish oils proved ineffective in slowing the rate of restenosis after coronary angioplasty.

Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Gastrointestinal Bleeding
To identify risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) among users of non-aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NANSAIDs).
A total of 120 patients aged over 60 years and using NANSAIDs were hospitalized between January 1988 and September 1992 for GIB related to erosions or ulceration of the gastroduodenal mucosa.
This study identified a group at 'high risk' for GIB which would benefit from the development of a prophylactic therapy.

Hemostatic Factors
Hemostatic Factors
The effects of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) on hemostatic factors were compared.
Healthy subjects (29 women and 17 men aged 20-44 y) received either linseed oil (average ALA intake: 5.9 g/d) or fish oil plus sunflower oil (average EPA + DHA intake: 5.2 g/d) for 4 wk.
Results indicate that supplemented ALA from vegetable oil and EPA and DHA from a marine source have largely parallel effects on hemostatic factors.

Hormone-Replacement Therapy
Hormone-Replacement Therapy
Tested the lipid-lowering effects of continuous combined hormone-replacement therapy in hypercholesterolemic postmenopausal women.
Nevertheless, continuous combined hormone-replacement therapy was associated with a high frequency of side effects, including breast tenderness and uterine bleeding. Most bothersome side effects dissipated after an initial adjustment period.
Continuous combined hormone-replacement therapy can produce significant and therapeutic reductions in LDL cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic postmenopausal women. After internists become familiar with the expected side effects and their time course, this regimen may provide an effective approach in the management of hypercholesterolemia in postmenopausal women who have not undergone hysterectomy.

Newborns and Vitamin K Therapy
Newborns and Vitamin K Therapy
This study evaluated 56 healthy newborn infants in Thailand who were given a single dose of vitamin K (phytonadione) as an injection (1 mg intramuscularly) or an oral dose (2 and 5 mgs). There was no evidence of clinical bleeding or of abnormally low thrombotest values seen in any infants studied.

Salmon Diet
Salmon Diet
"Salmon" based diet rich in "omega-3" "fatty acids" did not influence bleeding times but did decrease the sensitivity of platelets to ADP and "arachidonic acid", increase mean platelet size, decrease platelet count, and change the "fatty acid" composition of plasma, "red blood cells" and platelet membrane lipids. 40 days after the diet was stopped there was little persistent effect of the n-3 fatty acids in the blood.

About what? If you read the bobbym takeover the world thread Bob's comments will become clearer.
Why are you being cryptic?
It is a carry over from the bobbym thread.
What does this ask me to do?
I have signed many such petitions when I felt there was a reasonable chance of victory. Then I am willing to take some risk. There can be no victory in this case. Bill represents an extremely powerful group of people. They control the wealth, resources and armies of the world. He has been doing precisely what that petition states since Windows 95. We have already lost the war, sign if your conscience demands.
That would put the final death touches on an already moribund society. But I could kill all the pistachios so I am tempted.
Why can't you sign the agreement? Is it because they will get your email? If so, use my email instead: [removed by administrator]
All the more reason for you to run for world leader before it's too late.
Before they get that and more. Twilight is upon us and soon night must fall.
What is a question of time?
A person who stands in front of a charging elephant gets trampled for his/her stupidity.
I would not want to.
Hmmm, ever seen a charging elephant? Neither have I.
Dissent and Dead both begin with a D, so does Danger.

Lousy Medicaid argumentsOctober 22,2013For now, the big news about Obamacare is the debacle of HealthCare.gov, the web portal through which Americans are supposed to buy insurance on the new health care exchanges. For now, at least, HealthCare.gov isnt working for many users.
Its important to realize, however, that this botch has nothing to do with the laws substance and will get fixed. After all, a number of states have successfully opened their own exchanges, doing for their residents exactly what the federal system is supposed to do everywhere else. Connecticuts exchange is working fine, as is Kentuckys. New York, after some early problems, seems to be getting there. So, a bit more slowly, does California.
In other words, the technical problems, while infuriating heads should roll will not, in the end, be the big story. The real threat remains the effort of conservative groups to sabotage reform, especially by blocking the expansion of Medicaid. This effort relies heavily on lobbying, lavishly bankrolled by the usual suspects, including the omnipresent Koch brothers. But its not just money: The right has also rolled out some really lousy arguments.
And I dont just mean lousy as in bad; I also mean it in the original sense, infested with lice.
Before I get there, a word about something that, as far as we can tell, isnt happening. Remember rate shock? A few months ago it was all the rage in right-wing circles, with supposed experts claiming that Americans were about to face huge premium increases.
It quickly became clear, however, that what these alleged experts were doing was comparing apples and oranges and as Ezra Klein of The Washington Post pointed out, oranges that, in many cases, you cant even buy. Specifically, they were comparing the premiums young, healthy men were paying before reform with the premiums everyone including those who previously couldnt get insurance because of pre-existing conditions will pay under the new system. Oh, and they also werent taking into account the subsidies many Americans will receive, reducing their costs.
Now people are signing up for policies on state exchanges and, to a limited extent, on the federal exchange. Where are the cries of rate shock? Anecdotal evidence, which is all we have so far, says that people are by and large happily surprised by the low cost of their insurance. It was telling that when Fox News eagerly interviewed some middle-class Americans who said they had been hurt by the Affordable Care Act, it turned out that none of their guests had actually checked out their new options they just knew health reform was terrible because Fox News told them so.
Now, about those lousy Medicaid arguments: Last years Supreme Court decision upholding the Affordable Care Act did strike down one provision, the one that would have forced all states to accept an expansion of Medicaid, the already-existing program of health insurance for the poor. States are now free to reject that expansion. Yet how can states justify turning down a federal offer to insure thousands of their citizens, one that would cost them nothing in the first year and only trivial amounts later? Sheer spite the desire to sabotage anything with President Barack Obamas name on it is the real reason, but doesnt sound too good. So they need intellectual cover.
Enter the same experts, more or less, who warned about rate shock, to declare that Medicaid actually hurts its recipients. Their evidence? Medicaid patients tend to be sicker than the uninsured, and slower to recover from surgery.
OK, you know what to do: Google spurious correlation health. You are immediately led to the tale of certain Pacific islanders who long believed that having lice made you healthy, because they observed that people with lice were, typically, healthier than those without. They were, of course, mixing up cause and effect: lice tend to infest the healthy, so they were a consequence, not a cause, of good health.
The application to Medicaid should be obvious. Sick people are likely to have low incomes; more generally, low-income Americans who qualify for Medicaid just tend in general to have poor health. So pointing to a correlation between Medicaid and poor health as evidence that Medicaid actually hurts its recipients is as foolish as claiming that lice make you healthy. It is, as I said, a lousy argument.
And the reliance on such arguments is itself deeply revealing, because it illustrates the rights intellectual decline. I mean, this is the best argument their so-called experts can come up with for their policy priorities?
Meanwhile, many states are still planning to reject the Medicaid expansion, denying essential health care to millions of needy Americans. And they have no good excuse for this act of cruelty.

I bought all three colors and they are so gorgeous that my two sisters begged me so much for them that I had to give one to each, then I bought two more for me.
I bought 3 pair and love them all.
Got two pair-white and Honey. They are bold but beautiful. Nice quality for the price. Wish they would make more colors.I wear Bifocal Sunglasses all the time and these are some of the most attractive I have found.

Hey everyone so I just got D2 two days ago, and decided to make my first character a hardcore paladin on open battlenet and playing classic. I just had 2 questions.
1. Does the game kind of stutter or feel choppy once in a while , I didn't really notice it in act 1 but it mainly happens for me in windowed mode and I noticed it a lot more in act 2. I'm also using a glide wrapper but i'm not sure if i'm just being too picky with the performance or if its just something that happens. btw, I'm on windows vista 32 bit.
2. What's the difference between LOD and Classic in terms of content and just overall gameplay.

Re: Game stuttering/LOD or Classic?
1. Are you playing SP or on b.net? If it is on b.net could it be lag that is causing this? Not sure as I went from XP to Win7.
2. In LoD you get 2 new classes, Druid, spell caster with minions and the Assassin a melee class with traps, extra uniques and sets. You get the items that can only be equipped by each class, shrunken heads (shields for the Necro), Orbs for the Sorceress, Paladin shields, Barbarian Helms and the like. LoD also adds runes and runewords to the game, most of which are very useful and some considered crucial if you play LoD. LoD adds an entire Act with six extra quests, you visit the Northern Barbarian home land and must defeat Baal. These are just some of the features I'm sure others will add to the ones I've missed.

Re: Game stuttering/LOD or Classic?
Thanks for the reply & I'm playing b.net but I've also played SP and they're both the same. It might be because I have a big monitor atm but i'll try switching too a smaller one to see if there is a difference, because I have low ping and high fps so I doubt that its the lag. Also how does it work on Win7 because I have a laptop that has Win7 so I might try installing it on that and seeing how the game plays ^_^, But do you not get any small stutters at all?

Re: Game stuttering/LOD or Classic?
U might want to take a peek at this:
I know its D3 related but might have same issue in D2. In short, most of the stuttering is caused by processor accesing your harddrive instead of RAM. Adding RAM might help, making a Ramdrive might help if u got the RAM.
edit: was also some debate about windowed mode in the post so try fullscreen

It's been years since so much uncertainty ruled the top half of the NFL draft. Not only is there little agreement on which players teams will pick, there's no clear answer to which teams those will be, and what players are the best at a given position. The draft is particularly strong at defensive line, defensive end and linebacker, and particularly weak at quarterback and cornerback. Here's the breakdown of the first round, complete with some guesses on potential trades.
1. Kansas City Chiefs
Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan: He's better than Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel in the long term. Kansas City wouldn't mind trading out of the spot, but there's no dominant player to use as bait.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
Dion Jordan, OLB, Oregon: Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley is a Pete Carroll disciple who struck gold by drafting Bruce Irvin last year for the Seahawks. Jordan's better.
3. Miami Dolphins
Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M: Miami jumps from No. 12 after a trade with Oakland. Joeckel replaces the recently departed Jake Long.
4. Philadelphia Eagles
Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: Chip Kelly intends to run his fast-paced no huddle in the NFL. A Dana Holgersen prot�g� with a big arm is a place to start.
5. Oakland Raiders
Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida: The Raiders move back up, swapping with Detroit to get the player they want, a big, physical space-eater.
6. Cleveland Browns
Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama: The Browns could trade down, but DB is a need, and Milliner is the best in a so-so class.
7. Arizona Cardinals
Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma: I think Sooner OL have been soft in recent years, but Johnson, a converted tight end, is a fine athlete.
8. Buffalo Bills
Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse: Jon Gruden's favorite QB in the draft. Streaky, decent scrambler and his former 'Cuse head coach, Doug Marrone, is now the boss in Buffalo.
9. New York Jets
Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah: If this kid wants it, he'll be All-Pro. He was inconsistent in college.
10. Carolina Panthers
Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri: The Panthers jump from 14, swapping with the Tennessee Titans. Richardson is a stud who proved it in the SEC last year. I like him more than Floyd.
11. San Diego Chargers
Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama: San Diego needs linemen, and Warmack is a good place to start. This franchise is close to hitting rock bottom after many good years.
12. Detroit Lions
Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State: Detroit has needs at DE, too, but there are more of those in the draft than there are good DBs.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ziggy Ansah, DE, BYU: Tampa Bay picks this skilled pass rusher and trades him to the New York Jets — who need one — for cornerback Darrelle Revis, who wants out.
14. Tennessee Titans
Jonathan Cooper, OG, N. Carolina: Tennessee gets a blocker for Chris Johnson.
15. Minnesota Vikings
Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia: The Vikings have 11 picks overall and two in the first round. To replace Percy Harvin — and beat St. Louis to the punch — they trade up with New Orleans, which also fields — and rejects — trade offers from Dallas, which wants the next pick.
16. St. Louis Rams
Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas: A true versatile safety, Vaccaro helps the Rams in more ways than a WR would.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers
Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee: Pittsburgh's offense stunk to high heaven at times last year. With Mike Wallace leaving, QB Ben Roethlisberger needs someone who can run the fly pattern.
18. Dallas Cowboys
D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama: Dallas is committed to Tony Romo, so it had better get him a better offensive line.
19. New York Giants
Matt Elam, FS, Florida: I'm betting on the Giants to keep tinkering with the defense in the first round while addressing the offensive line in later rounds.
20. Chicago Bears
Alex Ogletree, LB, Georgia: The Bears' new defensive coordinator is a Nick Saban/Romeo Crennel disciple, which translates to big, physical inside linebackers. Midway, meet Ogletree.
21. Cincinnati Bengals
Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia: I think Jones hangs around on the board because of some average offseason workouts and rewards the Bengals with his play.
22. St. Louis Rams
Keenan Allen, WR, California: If he can recover from a torn ACL, Allen may be the best WR in the draft. Steady and tough, he caught passes from his half-brother — who's not a good thrower — at Cal.
23. New Orleans Saints
Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU: A match made. Mingo's a good fit for the Saints' new direction on defense.
24. Indianapolis Colts
Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M: The Colts will have many good ends from which to choose. They go with Moore.
25. Minnesota Vikings
Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame: A 10-year player.
26. Green Bay Packers
Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina: Big brute for the line. The Packers still need a better defense.
27. Houston Texans
Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee: Opposite Andre Johnson, he could be the NFL rookie of the year.
28. Denver Broncos
Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State: Physical, consistent star in college will get a shot at starting in Denver opposite Von Miller.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars
E.J. Manuel, QB, Florida State: New England dumps the draft pick to move back four spots, while the Jags get their next QB.
30. Atlanta Falcons
Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame: He may be gone by mid-round, as popular as TEs are these days. At any rate, the Falcons know they have one more year with Tony Gonzalez.
31. San Francisco 49ers
Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State: With 13 picks, the Niners could move to the middle of the first round to get a safety or top-flight end. If they stay here, I like the versatile Seminole end.
32. Baltimore Ravens
Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech: The Ravens can't reasonably replace the genius of Ed Reed with any of the remaining safeties, so they shift to a 6-foot-2, 215-pound wideout to replace Anquan Boldin.

Beat Art, artists and art
(movement, 1952)
In the aftermath of World War II, at the dawn of the Cold War, a new aesthetic emerged in America among a generation of young poets and visual artists. Calling themselves the Beats, these artists formed a potent underground that offered an alternative to the complacent conformity of the Eisenhower years. But many of them also shared a powerful vision of their country's future and viewed with great sadness the vast chasm between the promise of the American dream and its uneven fulfillment. Seeking to bridge this gap through their art, they produced gritty and vibrant work that, like the Beats themselves, made a virtue of breaking the rules.

Where in the Quran does it say anything about interest?
There is a Sura, in which states that there are people who say, Interest is like buying and selling.
and allah replies, but Allah has allowed buying and selling and forbidden raba (interest)
I do not know which Sura, but I heard it a lot.
and to know how big this sin is you must refer to the Hadith.
"Those who use interest, on the day of judgement, the prophet will say, here take this weapon and go fight against your lord. For you have waged war on Allah and his prophet when you made this act.
Why is it so haram? Banks do very bad things with interest money ;) ;)

Virginia City is a census-designated place (CDP) that is the county seat of Storey County, Nevada.[2] It is part of the Reno–Sparks Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Virginia City sprang up as a boomtown on top of the Comstock Lode, the first major silver deposit discovered in the United States, in 1859. Though at its peak in the late 19th century it had over 15,000 residents, the mines' output declined after 1874, and as of 2010 Census the population of Virginia City was about 855,[3] with 4,000 living in Storey County.
Folklore indicates that the town got its name from a man named James Finney who was nicknamed "Old Virginy".[4] Finney was credited with discovering the Comstock Lode. His real name was James Fennimore, and he had fled his home state of Virginia after killing a man.[citation needed]
Like many cities and towns in the state, Virginia City was a mining boomtown; it appeared virtually overnight as a result of the Comstock Lode silver strike of 1859. At its peak, Virginia City had a population of over 15,000 residents and was called the richest city in America.[5] During the 20 years following the Comstock success "about $400 million was taken out of the ground."[6] Most of the miners who came to the city were Cornish or Irish.[7] In 1870, Asians were 7.6% of the population.[8] When the Comstock Lode ran out in 1898, the city's population declined sharply.[citation needed]
Mining operations were hindered by extreme temperatures in the mines caused by natural hot springs. The miners would snowshoe to work and then descend into the high temperatures. This contributed to a low life expectancy. Adolph Sutro built the Sutro Tunnel in support of the mining operations. The tunnel drained the water to the valley below (Dayton). Conceived in 1860, it was not completed until many years later, after much of the silver had been mined.
Great Fire of 1875[edit]
Between 1859 and 1875, Virginia City experienced five serious fires. The 1875 fire, dubbed the "Great Fire of 1875", in October, 1875, caused $12 million in damage.[9] In ensuing months the city was rebuilt, better, and majority of the National Historic Landmark historic district area was then built, in 1875, 1876, and later years.
Virginia City and Mark Twain[edit]
|Historical population
Virginia City could be considered the "birthplace" of Mark Twain, as it was here in February 1863[11] that writer Samuel Clemens, then a reporter on the local Territorial Enterprise newspaper, first used his famous pen name.[12] Virginia City historical documents state that Clemens was mugged on November 10, 1863, as he walked over the hill from the south while returning to Virginia City. The muggers relieved Clemens of his watch and his money. The robbery turns out to have been a practical joke played on Clemens by his friends, to give him material to write about. He did not appreciate the joke, but he did retrieve his belongings—particularly his gold watch (worth $300), which had great sentimental value.[13] Clemens mentions the incident in his book Roughing It (published Feb. 1872), apparently still sore about it.
Many locals work at the shops in town that cater to tourists, while others seek jobs in the surrounding cities. Virginia City draws over 2 million visitors per year and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Arts and culture[edit]
Virginia City Hillclimb[edit]
There is an annual hillclimb that runs from Silver City to Virginia City via Highway 341 (a truck route) that is put on jointly between the Ferrari Club of America Pacific Region and the Northern California Shelby Club. The event is officially open to performance vehicles of all makes as of 2013.[14] The event was put on first by Road & Track and the Aston Martin Club, the following year the SCCA took the same route, and later it was picked up by the Ferrari Owners Club.[15] Highway 342 is now the return route for cars that have completed their runs up Highway 341. The hillclimb covers 5.2 miles (8.4 km), climbing 1,260 feet (380 m) and passing through 21 corners.
Museums and other points of interest[edit]
Virginia City is home to several buildings and artifacts that remain from the time it was a boom town. Among them are the Bucket of Blood Saloon, the Old Globe, the Silver Queen, and the Suicide Table. Occasionally a gunfight is acted out.
The Red Dog Saloon, originally the 1875 Comstock House, is located at 76 North C Street. The Red Dog Saloon gave many San Francisco rock musicians their start during the summer of 1965.[16]
Virginia City was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.[17][18] This in effect created a Virginia City Historic District.
Virginia City has one elementary school (Hugh Gallagher Elementary School), one middle school (Virginia City Middle School) and one high school (Virginia City High School).
The Virginia & Truckee Railroad's northern terminus is located at Virginia City. A project was started in 1977 to begin rebuilding one of the nation's "crookedest railroads". The portion of line that has been rebuilt so far stretches south to Carson City and through Gold Hill. The project ran the first steam engine from Carson City on September 5, 2009. Meanwhile, other trains are pulled by historic locomotives between Virginia City and Gold Hill, attracting thousands of tourists each year.

In popular culture[edit]
- Author Louis L'Amour's "Comstock Lode," copyright 1981, is set in Virginia City during the silver rush.
- Virginia City is near the site of the fictitious Ponderosa Ranch on the Western television drama Bonanza. As such, the show's characters made visits to the town regularly. The Virginia City depicted on Bonanza was located at RKO Forty Acres in Hollywood.

"Darcy Farrow", a folk song written by Steve Gillette and Tom Campbell, mentions Virginia City and other places and landmarks in the area (including Yerington, the Carson Valley, and the Truckee River).[22] The most popular version was performed by John Denver.
Virginia City's Red Dog Saloon was where Janis Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Charlatans, the Grateful Dead and others got their start during the summer of 1965. Happenings at the Red Dog, including a house light show, underpinned the beginning of West Coast hippie culture.[16][23]

Which of these team-up books is your personal favorite, and why? Any special memories of any of these?
The Brave and the Bold
DC Comics Presents
Marvel Team-Up
Marvel Two-in-One
Other (specify in comments)
Which of these team-up books is your personal favorite, and why? Any special memories of any of these?
It was close between Brave & Bold and Marvel Two-in-one, but I gave it to MTIO because of the early stories with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Strange & Valkyrie, and later the Project Pegasus storyline.
One lab accident away from being a super-villain
Probably you should also note the existence of the two runs (other than a couple of miniseries, I think) of Brave & the Bold. The first is of course classic, but the incarnation from the last half-decade or so was actually very good overall.
I tend to split superhero comics fans into "People who like Krypto" and "People who don't like Krypto."
Basically, if you miss the wonder of a dog flying around in a little Superman cape, you're in the wrong hobby.
-- Reptisaurus!
Brave and Bold is not only my favorite team-up title, it's my all-time favorite series period. From the delicious Heath and Kubert art in #1 to the Earth-1 Batman/Earth-2 Batman story 200 issues later, there isn't a single issue of the title that doesn't have something worthwhile in it (even if only a reminder of how good a bad comic can be ). And, while I only picked up the first 12 issues, I echo dan's appreciation for the Waid/Perez/Ordway revival.
I summon my B&B boxes!

It's hardly a secret that something is badly wrong with me. - Dan B. in the Underworld
I am ... a condescending prick sometimes. But I usually mean to be. - Paradox
I'm not infallible. I just act like it. - Me
I voted for Other, because I am a total cheater. My pick is Rom Team-Up, better known as Rom. Like I said, it's a cheat, but really, starting around issue 17, Rom had one guest star or another in almost every storyline for the rest of the run. Rom Team-Up!

At last, Boy Comics finally gets its own website!
Brave and Bold. I started reading as a kid with # 106 not knowing I was dropping in on a spectacular run by Aparo. I somehow managed to get a copy of #100 a short time later and was blown away by Green Arrow actually shooting some bad guys with his arrows. Some of my all time favorite comics.
The 2008 series was pretty darn good too.
Brave & Bold. Haney...Aparo...Brennert. By a country mile.
DC Comics Presents, because I'm a Superman fan.
Pull List; seems to be too long to fit in my sig...
And, heck, here are my favorite from the non Big Four.
1) Batman: The Brave and the Bold
2) Ultimate Marvel Team-Up
3) Marvel Age Spider-Man Team-Up
4) Super-Villain Team-Up
5) Super-Team Family

I voted for B&B on the strength of the Haney/Aparo team. DCCP was pretty good, but hard to predict from issue to issue. With B&B during that long run of Haney/Aparo, I looked forward to every issue, no matter who Batman was teamed up with--because I just loved to read anything by that creative team.
In the category of other we should not forget World's Finest (which was a Superman-Batman team-up, but for awhile became a Superman team-up) and Action Comics (during the Byrne run).
And since we're here and I can talk about team-up books for hours. There was a Marvel Team-Up second series (11 issues) and a third series (25 issues.) Spider-Man also anchored Spider-Man team-up (7 issues) and Spider-Man family was a team-up book between issues 3 and 9. There's also the current Avenging Spider-Man title which is up to issue 6.
There was a short (3 issue) "Tales of the Thing" series in the early '00s which retold (Not reprinted) Marvel Two-In-One stories, along with one original.
I count both the DC PLUS books and the Double Shot books as team-up books. I prefer serial numbering, though!
Richie Rich and Casper both had team-up ish titles in the late nineties - Both of them burned off old inventory stories.
First comics published the Crossroads mini-series, which teamed up Grimjack, Nexus, Whisper and the Badger among others.
Western Team-Up and Shuriken Team-Up lasted all of one issues. And there are a handful of other one-shots And there are a bunch of annuals and specials. Some of the more obscure ones: Brave and the Bold basically had an "annual" in one issue of DC Special Series (written by Haney, sadly not drawn by Aparo) the John Byrne Action team-up one yielded, oddly, Action Comics Annual # 1 - in 1986! - teaming Superman with Batman. Even Marvel Age Spider-Man Team-Up (which I love, and only lasted 5 issues) had a one shot special attached.

All my life, my Great Dream has been to grow a triangular head - Roy Thomas
Along those lines, we should mention all the tabloid team-ups (plus the non-tabloid team-up of New Teen Titans and X-Men). Not a series, but an ongoing thing--at least for awhile.
Batman, Superman, Spider-Man...whatta buncha wimps. The only mans (or womans for that matta) book worth its salt stars the dude who dont need to name himself THINGMAN.
Marvel Two In One hands down over those udda selfish losers.

Hundreds of people turned out for the funeral of a West Virginia state trooper who was killed last week.
Eric Workman's funeral was held Wednesday at the Charleston Civic Center. Dozens of State Police cruisers lined nearby streets.
Workman and Cpl. Marshall Bailey were shot Aug. 28 near Interstate 79's Wallback exit in Roane County. The gunman was killed in a shootout. A tow truck driver and Roane County sheriff's deputy also were wounded.
The 26-year-old Workman lived in Ivydale and had been with the State Police less than two years. He was an all-state baseball player at Clay County High School in 2004 and went on to set records at West Virginia State. He also was a standout prep football and basketball player.
Bailey's funeral was Sunday.

Deputies: Mercy Flight needed after assault at Kid Rock concert
Posted at: 07/06/2013 1:11 PM | Updated at: 07/06/2013 6:43 PM
|Print Story
The Genesee County Sheriff's Office says a man was assaulted during a Kid Rock concert at Darien Lake and Mercy Flight was needed.
Deputies say 34-year-old Craig Lawson, of Ontario, Canada, was charged with assault after they say he punched another patron in the face knocking him unconscious. Investigators say the victim was transported to Erie County Medical Center by Mercy Flight. Lawson was arraigned in Darien Court and taken to Genesee County Jail.
Also arrested at the concert was 35-year-old Jordan Apps, of Fort Erie, Ontario, for criminal mischief after deputies say he punched a car window out of the vehicle. He was also arraigned in Darien Court and taken to jail.
Nine other people were arrested and issued appearance tickets for other crimes. These arrests come just two days after the Dave Matthews Band concert at Darien Lake that resulted in the arrests of almost 100 people.

Building's in the Air
Family Day
Sunday, October 27, 2013
12:00 pm
Come to the Clark for our free Family Day from 12–4 pm and you'll see building, building everywhere as we finish up our expansion project. Build a large-scale building of your own during this building extravaganza family event. Draw inspiration from the Clark buildings to spark your creativity. We will have more cardboard than you've ever seen, masking tape galore, and plenty of adults on hand to help with cutting.
Prefer something a little smaller? We will also be making beautiful crafts out of cardboard of a quality and finish suitable for gift giving.
Cardboard Building Challenge: Take a cue from the Clark construction team and let your creativity run wild. Build with cardboard and boxes to create interesting shapes, structures, passageways, forts and more.
Cardboard Crafts: Practice your fine handiwork skills with art projects designed by local artist Claire Fox.
Cardboard Masterpieces: Pick up a sheet of cardboard and emulate Clark cardboard copies by local artist Andrew Davis. Decide which paintings appeal to you and sketch from the real thing in the galleries.
Construction Vehicle Dig in Miniature: It's time to move some earth! Play in our little construction site, and get ready to say, "VROOM, VROOOOOM!"
Food and beverages will be available for purchase from local vendor Amanda's on Wheels all day.
- Stroll along our beautiful nature trail to the hilltop and get a bird's-eye view of the Clark's new buildings and campus as they take shape in the valley below.
- Enjoy some cider in celebration of fall.
- "Build" a jack-o'-lantern.
- Take in the scenery with a hay ride around the field.
This family event is supported by funding from the officers and employees of Allen & Company, Inc.
