Satraplatin for Prostate Cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My husband has enrolled in a clinical trial for a drug called satraplatin. What can you tell me about it?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
Satraplatin is a member of the platinum family of chemotherapy drugs, which includes cisplatin and carboplatin. Satraplatin is given in a pill form and has recently reported results from phase III clinical trials, where satraplatin was given with prednisone and compared to placebo plus prednisone in hormone refractory prostate cancer. The results reported thus far have shown about a 40% improvement in progression free survival for patients receiving the satraplatin regimen. Progression free survival is a measure researchers use to evaluate therapies, which refers to the time until the disease begins to grow while on the therapy. Many of the men on the trial had previously been treated with other chemotherapy agents. This drug is not yet approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration or the European equivalent.
The platinum family of chemotherapies is known to cause myelosuppression (a reduction of blood counts) and this was seen in the satraplatin trial. Patients developed thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), leukopenia (low white blood cell count) and neutropenia (low neutrophil count). These side effects can be managed with transfusions, growth factors and, if necessary, reducing the dose of satraplatin. Some patients also experienced gastrointestinal side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation. There were also a few reports of respiratory complications, although these have not yet been described in detail. Two side effects commonly associated with platinum drugs, nephrotoxicity (kidney problems) and peripheral neuropathies, were not seen with satraplatin.
More results from this trial are expected to be released in the coming year. The company is applying to the FDA for approval as second-line chemotherapy for hormone refractory prostate cancer.

NOM professional activist and head of its "intellectual" arm The Ruth Institute Dr. Jennifer Roback Norse sent out a Thanksgiving video message where she talks about the horrors of having gay "RA" dorm attendants at colleges and the hosting of "drag parties" because nothing says Thanksgiving more than spreading hate, bitching about drag queens, and begging for money.

I guess in this case "social conservative" is the same thing as "ignorant bitch". What a bunch of crap.

Released: May 01st, 2004
Running Time: 121
Director: Rick Davis
Company: Cherry Boxxx Pictures
Cast: Laura (I), Sergio (I), Mercedes Ashley, Tyce Bune, Summer Luv, Mariah Cherry, Cheyne Collins, John West, Simone (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Goes as easily with Young Girls/Teens as it will with Interracial.
Simone is one ultra-cute young girl. And if any fresh face is worthy of her own film, Simone is certainly one of them. In this flick, she gets plugged by Tyce Bune, professionally fucked by John West and gives solid heat in a lezbo romp with English slut Laura. But the real show stopper of this video is the scene between Mercedes Ashley and Cheyne Collins.
Mercedes has the kind of body that was simply built to fuck and that looks fantastic no matter the position. She has curves in all the right places, and Collins is visibly turned on. By the end of the scene, they're both drenched in sweat.
Simone isn't quite as convincing a slut as Mercedes. But Simone is young, and Mercedes has a few years of experience on her. In this flick, Simone's best moments are during her scene with Laura. She seems most turned on by the girl.

The Bay County Sheriff's Office has arrested three juveniles in connection to a series of burglaries at Phillips Food Store at 2505 Hwy 231.
Phillips Food Store was burglarized through a broken window and merchandise was taken on March 21, 2011, March 23, 2011, and on April 13, 2011. Field Patrol deputies responded to each call. All three times security video cameras captured pictures of white male juveniles entering the store wearing dark shorts, shirts, with masks concealing their faces.
On April 13, 2011, Criminal Investigations was notified of an empty apartment at 2805 Evelyn Avenue. Maintenance staff informed investigators that several people had broken into the apartment leaving behind several suspicious items. One of the items, a hunting mask, matched one wore by the juveniles that had entered Phillips Food Store. Also found in the apartment were tobacco boxes like those stolen from Phillips Food Store.
Investigators began canvassing the other apartments and made contact with the father of Blake Edward Sasser. Mr. Sasser stated he believed his son might have information on the burglary of the apartment and Phillips Food Store.
Investigators spoke with Sasser, DOB 2/18/96, of 2805 Ellen Avenue, and developed information leading them to Tevin Tyrell Daniels, DOB 4/3/95, of 2923 Headland Avenue, Panama City, and Antonio Johnson, DOB 10/28/96, of 3040 Clearview Avenue. All three stated they had been involved in the burglaries and were arrested and charged with Burglary of an Unoccupied Structure.

Wichita City Council Approves 2016 Budget By Sean Sandefur • Aug 11, 2015 Wichita.gov The city of Wichita approved its operating budget for 2016 this afternoon, and unlike the proceedings of the county budget, little to no public backlash has surrounded the $227 million dollars approved for next year's general fund. City leaders were happy to announce that property taxes will not be increasing for the 22nd straight year. Hyatt Revenue Factored Into Wichita City Budget By Carla Eckels • Aug 8, 2012 The City of Wichita anticipates a quarter million dollars in projected hotel cash flow from the city-owned downtown Hyatt as part of the proposed 2013-14 budget. Wichita City Manager Bob Layton gave an overview of the proposed budget as part of a formal public hearing during Tuesday's city council meeting.

I'm currently working on the following site: http://www.bofinans.dk/
The page is in danish, I know, but so am I :)
My problem is that i have used the plugin Gravity Form to add a form to http://www./bofinans.dk/investeringstest. Now the form works great and is very easy to use but i have been forced to add conditional logic to the form at the question "Hvem forvalter din opsparing". So if a customer choose "other" they get the opportunity to write whom. But unfortunately this won't work unless i add this "<? php wp_footer(); ?>" to the footer.php file. And now the fun part begin. Because when i add this line of code my Widget Footer Left disappears from every single page! As well as my frontpage "slideshow"..
Any ideas?

Presidential debates are much more than just 90-minute events. They are followed by media analysis and interpretation, including interviews with experts, the discussion of instant polls, the replaying of highlights, and the commentary of candidates' spokespeople. It is a complicated mix to say the least. We seek to examine these competing influences for the final 2004 presidential debate with a unique and powerful design: a controlled experiment, a public opinion survey, and a content analysis of the debate and the news media's "instant analysis" immediately following the debate. Our findings, for example, suggest that citizens were influenced by the arguments presented directly by the candidates during the debate as well as by the media's instant analyses of the candidates' debate performance. Because we are able to take a closer look at this complicated campaign event, we are able to tell a more compelling and nuanced story about the effects of debates than previously told.

A Hatchback With Some Punch
Columnist Jonathan Welsh answers readers' questions about automobiles
Q: My husband is the original owner of a 2002 Honda Civic Si. It's a five-speed manual with a hatchback. It's been a wonderful car, fun to drive, economical and reliable at almost 200,000 miles. We'll need to replace it in the next couple of years. Are there any cars out there now (or in the pipeline) that are affordable, economical and have the same punch as the Si?
—Roxanne Greene, Valley Center, Calif.
A: There are several "hot hatches" or small coupes on the market that carry on the spirit of your Si, including the latest Civic Si that went on sale this spring. Ford plans to start selling the Focus ST, a hot-rod version of its compact economy car. Toyota's Scion models like the xD and tC are good candidates. The BMW Mini Cooper is fun to drive, though some find it a bit pricey. My longtime favorite in this category is the Volkswagen GTI. It was a gem when it arrived in the early '80s and has been ever since.
Q: Controversy seems to surround whether to downshift transmissions to slow for lights, stop signs, etc. What is your opinion?
A: People have long championed downshifting as a way to "save the brakes." Others say you are better off wearing out the brakes than a clutch, gears, and other transmission parts that tend to be more expensive and complicated to fix. I fall into the second group, mostly. Unless you are the smoothest downshifter in town, using the brake is probably easier on your car and almost certainly more comfortable for your passengers.
Q: I drive a 2009 Saturn Astra and I notice a lot more cars now have electronic blind-spot detection alarms. I installed the European-style blind-spot mirror, which is aspheric, and I do not have a blind spot anymore. Why is no U.S. manufacturer offering this here?
—Henry Schwutke, Rochester Hill, Mich.
A: A few European car makers have installed those convex, wide-screen-style mirrors on cars sold in the U.S. Saab and Audi come to mind, but I haven't seen those mirrors for several years. My cynical side figures there's a lot more profit in complex electronic blind-spot-warning systems than in a simple solution like wide-angle mirrors. I think some drivers also find the distortion caused by these mirrors to be troublesome, and mirrors are also more susceptible to human error because the driver has to adjust them. Some people may argue that the mildly wide-angle mirrors that cars have today can eliminate blind spots if only they are adjusted properly.

His partner, Bev Clark, told the Otago Daily Times
yesterday the veteran Southern Ocean pilot far preferred
being in the air than on the water.
She had been unable to find out how Mr Garden had fared
during the fierce storm that drove the ship back towards
Stewart Island but hoped to talk to him once it reached
Paterson Inlet this afternoon. Ms Clark said the storm ''must
have been horrendous.''
The HMNZS Wellington encountered 14m waves and 70-knot winds
and received some superficial damage.
The ship is due to resume its trip south on Saturday and with
no easy exit - there is no helicopter on board - Mr Garden is
not expected home any time soon.
Ms Clark said a friend of Mr Garden's described him as a
''stubborn old bugger'' and she did not expect he had any
intention other than to complete the mission.
Mr Garden is armed with ''Kaikoura bombs'' - a sea-sick
remedy containing secret ingredients taken by people before
whale-watching trips.
Ms Clark said Mr Garden was very much looking forward to
visiting Campbell Island for the first time since helping
clear it of rats in 2001.
''That's what put New Zealand on the map.
''He led the team that did that Campbell Island job that
people thought was a bit ambitious. It's been highly
''It's absolutely rat-free and all the birds have returned.
''He does all these projects and doesn't get to see the
benefits once they are finished.''
During the trip, Mr Garden will be looking at the
practicalities of eradicating mice from the Antipodes
Conservation Minister Nick Smith is also among the 80 people
on board HMNZS Wellington and a spokeswoman said he was
handling the weather well and was ''fine''.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The remains of three sailors on the USS Oklahoma during the attack on Pearl Harbor have been identified.
The three are Ensign Eldon Wyman of Oregon, Ensign Irvin Thompson of New Jersey, and Fireman 2nd Class Lawrence Boxrucker of Wisconsin.
The three were among nearly 400 buried in mass graves and officially listed as unknowns and the remains will be returned to
their families.
The focus on Pearl Harbor remains has intensified in recent years through the research of Ray Emory who was one of the few survivors from the Oklahoma.
The attack killed 429 sailors and Marines on the Oklahoma - second only to the casualties on the USS Arizona.

NEW : Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, is a viral respiratory illness caused by Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus—MERS-CoV. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and acute respiratory illness, including pneumonia. Those infected can have gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, and kidney failure. Approximately 36% of reported patients with MERS have died.
There is no vaccine or antiviral treatment recommended for MERS-CoV infection. So, to protect yourself and your family from respiratory illnesses, we recommend everyday preventive actions. Wash hands often; avoid close contact with people who appear sick; avoid touching the eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands; and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as school furniture.
If you develop a fever and symptoms of respiratory illness, such as cough or shortness of breath, within 14 days after traveling to countries in or near the Arabian Peninsula, or Korean peninsula contact the nearest government hospital and mention your recent travel. While sick, stay home from work or school and reduce the possibility of spreading illness to others. Although the majority of human cases of MERS have been attributed to human-to-human infections, camels are likely to be a major reservoir host for MERS-CoV in Arabic Peninsula and an animal source of MERS infection in humans.
If you've had recent close contact with a traveler from the Arabian or Korean Peninsula who has fever and symptoms of respiratory illness, monitor your health for 14 days, starting from the day you were last exposed to the sick person. If you develop fever and symptoms of respiratory illness, you should contact the nearest government hospital and mention your recent contact. If you've had close contact with a confirmed or probable case of MERS, contact the nearest government hospital immediately.

NEW:--- Current situation of seasonal Influenza in Sri Lanka
The influenza viruses
Seasonal influenza viruses are largely grouped as A, B and C. The Influenza A virus sub types H1N1 and H3N2 have been in circulation in the country causing influenza recently. In addition, there are two type B viruses that are also circulating as seasonal influenza viruses. Influenza C poses much less of a disease burden. Globally, seasonal influenza has shown a decreasing trend according to the World Health Organization surveillance data. Similarly in tropical Asia, influenza activity has been low during the recent past (WHO 2015).
Global burden of influenza
Based on FluNet (the World Health Organization global tool for influenza virological surveillance), during the latter half of April and early May 2015, 26.1% of the globally tested samples have been influenza A while 73.9 % were reported to be influenza B. Of the sub typed influenza A viruses, 53.8% were influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 and 46.2% were influenza A (H3N2).
Burden of influenza in Sri Lanka
During the first week of March 2015, seven suspected cases of influenza were reported to the Epidemiology Unit from Thissamaharama, which included five pregnant women and two children. Of the pregnant women two were positive for influenza A. However, on further investigation the cases were found to be geographically scattered.
Cases of influenza continue to be reported from all areas of the country. This year up to the third week of May, the Medical Research Institute has tested 252 samples positive for influenza; influenza A - 170 and influenza B – 82. Out of the 78 influenza A cases that were sub typed there had been 42 Influenza A H1N1 cases (National Influenza Center 2015). It was also noted that four pregnant women who died during the months of April and May have been found to be positive for influenza A.

The Wire Praises Yann Novak
Seattle laptop producer Yann Novak's album Fade Dis/Appearances received a positive review from Chris Sharp in The Wire's October 2005 issue (see page 69; the review isn't online). It's quite a feat for a release on a tiny label such as Novak's Dragon's Eye to get ink in the highly respected U.K. magazine. Sharp compared one track to Gavin Bryars and deemed the disc "an assured and distinctive success." Congratulations to this promising recording artist whose label is becoming a fecund source of challenging abstract electronica.

Nvidia Launches a New Mobile Device Age
November 17, 2014
There was an announcement last week that I think is far bigger than folks realize: Nvidia announced a free Netflix-like streaming gaming service for its Shield products. I think this is a precursor to an event that is similar to what cable did to TVs years ago, and that it will change not only how we use these devices, but also what we use them for.
Nvidia Flips Grid's Game-Streaming Switch
November 13, 2014
Nvidia on Thursday officially launched its Grid on-demand game-streaming service. Due to become available on Nov. 18 in North America, Grid will be free through June 30, 2015, for users of Nvidia Shield tablets and portable devices. "We intend to build Grid into a premium cloud gaming service, and the best global service," said Nvidia spokesperson Brian Burke.
Apple Preps for Enterprise Offensive
November 12, 2014
Apple reportedly has formed a dedicated sales team to pitch Apple products to CIOs, and it is working closely with app developers who have a corporate presence to sell into the enterprise. Apple's increased interest in the enterprise could be part of a long-term strategy to offset declining sales in the tablet market. For three consecutive quarters, iPad sales have fallen.
Dell: Using Technology to Change the World
November 10, 2014
I was at Dell World last week, and it is kind of amazing how far the company has come since it went private. Interestingly, much of the big tent content was less about Dell's technology and more about how technology was being used to change the world. This was kind of a scary event in some cases, because we are far from ready for some of the changes.
Apple-Pestering WireLurker Banished for Now
November 7, 2014
Palo Alto Networks on Wednesday reported that more than 400 apps infected with a malicious program it calls "WireLurker" have been downloaded 356,104 times by Chinese Mac owners from Maiyadi, an online app store unaffiliated with Apple. The malware does no harm to the Macs it infects but when the computer connects via USB to an iOS device -- an iPhone or iPad -- it delivers its malicious payload.
Microsoft Rearranges Mobile Office
November 6, 2014
Microsoft on Thursday announced new Office apps for the iPhone, updated Office apps for the iPad, and a preview of Office apps for Android tablets. The company released separate Office for iPhone apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint that it said would offer the iPad experience optimized for the iPhone. Microsoft also updated Office for iPad apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
iPad Pro Rumor Comes Up for Air
November 4, 2014
Rumors of a larger-screen iPad 'Pro' have been floating around since early this year. Most have suggested variations on a supposed 12.9-inch screen size. As soon as they rise, though, they're buried by another news wave. The latest to surface is a report in a Japanese tech blog. The upcoming iPad Pro reportedly will have a 12.2-inch screen and not the more widely rumored 12.9-inch screen.
Gadget Ogling: Up In The Air, Big Reads and Ghastly Wearables
October 25, 2014
This week in Gadget Dreams and Nightmares, a peek at newly announced gadgets that caught my eye, we're going back to the future. Yes, there's an actual hoverboard on the agenda, alongside a larger Nook tablet, a high-end Kindle, smart luggage, and the tipping point for wearable tech. As always, there are ratings for each item, which are based on how interested I am in using them.
Apple Is Confusing Tablet Leadership With Awesomeness
October 23, 2014
The new super thin iPad Air 2 is starting to get tepid reviews, most of which begrudgingly call it the "best tablet" in the market, while admitting it's boring. Instead of talking up all the great things about how it makes their lives better or fun, the focus is starting to turn to the glaringly obvious annoyances about what it doesn't do well at all.
Apple Pay Aims to Make Plastic Passé
October 20, 2014
Apple on Monday launched its Apple Pay mobile payment system in the U.S., for use with Apple's latest iPhones and to a limited extent its new iPads, as well. Apple Pay allows purchasing transactions to be performed with a phone swipe -- as long as a retailer has the right hardware. Purchases within apps can be completed using only the Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Tablet Wars: The iPad Drifts Toward Mediocrity
October 20, 2014
There have been a lot of interesting tablets launched over the last month, but Apple -- the primary driver in this market -- didn't launch one of them. Remember when the first and second iPads came out? They were magical, amazing devices. Fifty percent of the installed base is still generation 1 and 2 iPads, according to studies. Tim Cook can't get people to give them up to buy new ones.
Gadget Ogling: Apple vs. Google, a Bossy Activity Tracker, and Feeling Your Path
October 18, 2014
There was plenty of focus on the cameras at Apple's presentation, as it tries to promote the tablet as an ideal viewfinder for taking high-quality images, while adding iPhone features like time-lapse and burst mode. However, the new push of iPad photography is just encouraging even more people to look foolish by taking photos with their tablet in public. This is a plague.
The iPad Air 2 Reveals Chink in Apple's Armor
October 17, 2014
The launch of the faster, thinner, goldier iPad Air 2, revealed a gap in Apple's shiny armor. This gap is the place where competitors have a chance to attack. However, the gap remains protected by a suit of chain mail. Let me explain. The iPad Air 2 sure looks like an amazing feat of engineering -- at just 6.1 millimeters thick, it's 18 percent thinner than its super-thin predecessor.
Apple Blows the Dust Off iPad, iMac Models
October 17, 2014
Apple on Thursday held a new product event on its campus in Cupertino, California, where the stars of the show were a thinner version of its iPad tablets and a 27-inch iMac desktop with a display that has 67 percent more pixels than a 4K TV. The iPad Air 2 will have an entry point of $499 for a 16-GB model. It is only 6.1mm thick -- more than 50 percent thinner than the original iPad.
Enter the Nexus Dragon
October 16, 2014
Google on Wednesday announced three new devices in its Nexus line: a tablet, a phablet, and a streaming media game player-cum-Android TV device, all of which run Lollipop, the latest version of its Android OS. Lollipop lets users sync content from phones to tablets to TVs and use it seamlessly. It has a consistent design across devices so transitions between tasks are more fluid.
Lollipop Could Make Android Stickier
October 15, 2014
Google on Wednesday unwrapped Android 5.0 Lollipop, officially replacing the "Android L" code name by which the latest version of its mobile platform previously had been known. "Lollipop is our largest, most ambitious release on Android, with over 5,000 new APIs for developers," wrote Sundar Pichai, Google's senior vice president for Android, Chrome & Apps, in a blog post.
Lenovo Gives Yoga Tablets a New Twist
October 14, 2014
Lenovo last week announced five new models in its Yoga product line, some running Windows and the others Android. Three are tablets -- the Tablet 2 Pro and the Tablet 2 running Android, and the Tablet 2 running Windows. The others are the Yoga 3 Pro and the Thinkpad Yoga 14 laptops. The Tablet 2 comes in 8- and 10-inch models, running Android or Windows. The Tablet 2 Pro runs Android.
Apple Faithful Prepare to Not Be Dazzled
October 13, 2014
If you're looking for an extravaganza on the scale of last month's new iPhone unveiling, chances are you won't find it at Apple's "Way Too Long" event to be held Thursday at its Cupertino headquarters. "This will be a very low-key event," said Gartner analyst Van L. Baker. The consensus is that Apple will be refreshing its tablet and PC lines, and releasing the prime-time version of OS X Yosemite.
Apple's 'Way Too Long' Invite Lands With a Thud
October 9, 2014
Apple's pretty much annual October new product media event usually is preceded by a cute invitation sent to journalists. The invitation typically includes a phrase or graphic element that provides a vague clue to the secret agenda of the event. Presumably, this is to drum up excitement and speculation, in addition to creating an ah-ha moment.
Bezos to Set The Washington Post on Fire
October 7, 2014
Jeff Bezos is planning to bring together two separate but equally important projects under his control: the Amazon Kindle Fire and The Washington Post. The Amazon CEO bought the paper slightly more than a year ago as a personal investment. Now the twain shall meet in Project Rainbow, a pilot project that has been under way at the Post for the past few months, according to reports.
Apple Shrinks Market for Stolen iPhones
October 2, 2014
Apple on Thursday closed a gap in its efforts to combat mobile device theft with the announcement of a service for checking the Activation Lock status of its iPhone, iPad and iPod product lines. The Find My iPhone Activation Lock requires that an owner's Apple ID and passcode be entered into an iOS device before Find My iPhone can be turned off or the device can be erased or reactivated.
Microsoft Earns Forgiveness With Windows 10
October 1, 2014
Microsoft on Tuesday pulled back the veil on the successor to Windows 8 -- Windows 10. Windows 10 is a combination of the best elements of the popular Windows 7 OS, along with some of the touchscreen-friendly features and functionality of Windows 8. Microsoft also kicked off its largest-ever open collaborative development effort with the new Windows Insider Program.
Desktop PCs May Be Poised for a Comeback
September 26, 2014
Desktop computer users are more satisfied with their devices than laptop and tablet owners, according to a recent American Customer Satisfaction Index survey. However, the category of personal computer satisfaction in general appears to be somewhat in the dumps. The annual measure of satisfaction fell 1.3 points to a score of 78 out of a possible 100.
The Coming Virtual Lifestyle Revolution
September 22, 2014
Uplinq, Qualcomm's big -- and it was big -- developers' conference, took place last week. There were two parts that were particularly interesting. One was its new robotics effort, and the other was the announcement that it's pushing Vuforia, its augmented reality platform, into wearable head-mounted displays -- think Google Glass on steroids -- that we may end up wearing every waking moment.
Gadget Ogling: Amazon on Fire, Virtual Reality, True Nature and Energy Relief
September 20, 2014
Apple might be the flavor of the minute as new iPhones hit stores, but Amazon isn't ready to let its rival hog all the limelight. Without a flashy presentation, it unveiled a half-dozen new Fire tablets and Kindle e-readers. There's a 6-inch Fire HD tablet priced at $99 and a 7-inch version for $139. The Fire tablets are reliably solid machines, and those are fantastically enticing prices.
Android L Will Keep Your Secrets Safer
September 19, 2014
Hard on the heels of increased security measures in Apple's newly released iOS 8, Google this week confirmed that encryption will be turned on by default in the next release of Android. Android has offered encryption for more than three years, and keys are not stored off the device, so they can't be shared with law enforcement, Google said. In Android L, encryption will be enabled by default.
Amazon Gets All Fired Up
September 18, 2014
Amazon on Wednesday introduced a slew of new Kindle Fire tablets and Kindle e-readers. It also unveiled a new OS based on Android KitKat. The top-of-the-line product is the company's Fire HDX 8.9, which sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor, with each core running at up to 2.5 GHz, and a GPU that's 75 percent faster than that of the previous Fire HDX.
iOS 8 Rolls Out With Oodles of Goodies
September 17, 2014
Apple made the latest version of its iOS mobile operating system available for download on Wednesday, and while it looks familiar, it contains lots of new delights not only for fans, but also for its legions of developers. "If you already have iOS 7, you're going to immediately know how to use this, but there's a lot of new features," said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies.
Web-Surfing Adults More Infection-Prone Than Teens
September 16, 2014
American teens spend a lot more time online than older Web surfers, yet it doesn't seem to increase their vulnerability to malicious activity. Teens last year spent a little more than four hours a day on the Net, while adults in the 50-to-64 age bracket burned two hours, 41 minutes online daily, MarketingCharts found. Those numbers piqued the interest of Enigma Software.

Does Susan generally take as long with full manuscripts as Jenny allegedly does?

Welcome to the AbsoluteWrite Water Cooler! Please read The Newbie Guide To Absolute Write
Does Susan generally take as long with full manuscripts as Jenny allegedly does?
Looks like it, Ty.D.... I sent my full in March and haven't heard anything. I've been arguing with myself lately about whether or not to send a nudge. I don't mind waiting but I'm afraid someone read it, didn't like it, and forgot to inform me!
Update: got a rejection from Susan this morning. Very gracious letter, but still:
I posted an interview with Ms. Hawk on my blog this morning. Here's the link:
And it's an interactive interview, so if you drop by before 4:00 p.m. EDT today, you can ask her a question in the comments.

So...a week and a half? Roughly?

Seriously?!? What's "understandable" about STATISTICS??!?!?!?
New WIP -
I queried Jenny on 9/21 and am still waiting.
Just an FYI, I queried over a month ago and didn't hear back, so I resent according to their website's guidelines. Today I got a response saying my query is still under consideration. So if you're outside the one-month response time that's stated on their submissions page, I'd wait a little longer. A response is probably coming.
Good luck, everybody~
Permanent guest of the Revisionland Hotel
I have it on good authority that they're still a bit behind. Just thought I'd let everyone know, in case anyone's nail-biting it with me
I queried Ms. Hawk on 11/4. I'll drop back in when I receive a response.

Full request 1/11
Freaking out! She is one of my top choices. I really hope she likes it!
^Congratulations! I would be prepared for a long wait. She's had my full since late August 2010.
My stats for The Bent Agency:
EQ: 6-15-10 YA Paranormal Mystery to Susan Hawk
Req for Full: 8-17-10
Full Sent: 8-18-10
11-28-10: Because I had not heard anything, I emailed Ms. Hawk for confirmation that she rec'd the MS. I made it a point to indicate that it was not a nudge and that I was simply looking for confirmation that she rec'd it. I was afraid I was waiting on pins & needles for no reason!
12-01-10: Rec'd conf from Ms. Hawk that it was rec'd. No additional information.
No word since. Since my original full submission in Aug, I have done some major polishing/editing. The original ms was reduced from 98,000 to 84,000 words and is much tighter now. She has had my ms for nearly 6 months now and I don't know if I should send an email indicating that there is an updated ms or not.
Any advice or direction is appreciated. I really would LOVE to have Ms. Hawk as an agent and I'm trying desperately not to screw this up!
Hi Faith,
I just want to stress that I'm a query newbie, but I think you'd be okay sending a polite e-mail regarding the revised manuscript and asking Ms. Hawk if she'd like to see it. Others may weigh in with better advice, though.
Good luck!
YA psychological thriller--repped and revising.
YA sci-fi--drafting.
YA mystery--drafting.
Thanks, Hester! I think you are probably right. I should have offered it up to her when I sent the email asking for confirmation that she rec'd the ms to begin with. In my defense, I was just terrified that she had not received it at all and I was terrified of seeming pesty. *slaps forehead*
I want to give her plenty of time, but like I said, it has been 6 months. I'm very new to this as well (obviously) but doesn't that seem long????
Hope that helps, and best of luck!

KristaG - Thanks for the info. I think you and Hester are right. I'll email her today and ask if she would like the updated version. Wish me luck!
I'll keep my fingers are crossed for you!
I sent an E-query to Jenny Bent on January 12th and got a pleasant form rejection only 2 hours later!
I e-queried Susan Bent on Sunday the 6th. Nothing yet! Fingers crossed? Will check back in with the results.
I sent a 6-month nudge at the beginning of the month, and Susan informed me she was behind on reading fulls.

Energy Drink Cocktails Boost Desire to Drink More?
By Alan Mozes
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, July 17, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Mixing caffeinated energy drinks with alcohol appears to boost the desire to keep on drinking, new research reveals.
The finding from a small study of young adults suggests that the energy drink-booze combination could fuel a higher risk for dangerous binge-drinking, the Australian researchers said.
"Based on our study, we can't be certain whether it was the caffeine or the sugary additives that made the energy drink and vodka cocktail more appealing than drinking alcohol alone," said study lead author Rebecca McKetin, a fellow with the Center for Research on Aging, Health and Well-being at the Australian National University in Canberra.
But she suggested one possible mechanism. "We normally think of alcohol as a depressant, but it also has a stimulant effect, and it is this stimulant effect that is most strongly related to how much we like alcohol, and whether we want to keep drinking," McKetin said.
"Caffeine, being a stimulant, tends to bring out the stimulant effects of alcohol intoxication. It may be this that causes energy drinks to increase the desire to keep drinking alcohol," she suggested.
The researchers didn't track how much more the young adults who participated in the study actually did drink, only their stated desire to down another.
The American Beverage Association, an industry group, said this is one of the study's limitations. "As acknowledged by the authors, this study does not establish a link between energy drink consumption and increased alcohol consumption. Rather, it measures how people feel and not what they actually do," the association said in a statement Thursday.
Furthermore, its member companies "adhere to responsible labeling and marketing guidelines that do not allow energy drink labels to promote mixing with alcohol nor make any claims that the consumption of alcohol together with energy drinks counteracts the effects of alcohol."
Energy drinks, popular with many young Americans, are currently consumed by more than one-third of 18- to 24- year-olds, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

After opening the Amarillo's Symphony's 88th season in September, Bulgarian native Stilian Kirov returns to the podium this weekend. The maestro will continue his bid for the organization's vacant music director and conductor position with an Italian-themed program of music titled, "It's a Grand Night for Classics!"
Kirov is one of three candidates for the Amarillo Symphony job. Each finalist has been tasked with programming and leading two performances each during this season.
This week's concerts, featuring three works by legendary composers, are scheduled at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts, 500 S. Buchanan St.
"The program includes pieces that are standing on the golden pages of symphonic literature," Kirov said.
The performance begins with Gioachino Rossini's overture from "The Barber of Seville," a lively and popular tune, Kirov said.
Concert-goers then will hear Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Opus 43."
"This work is full of passion, excitement and love," Kirov said. "It is extremely beautiful and enjoyable to listen to."
The work will feature piano soloist Ian Parker, who has performed once before with the Amarillo Symphony, in 2009.
"This work is ingeniously written," Parker said. "I hope this musical experience will give the ultimate levels of inspiration and glory that I am blessed to experience every time I hear or play this piece."
The evening concludes with Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 in A major, known as the "Italian Symphony."
Prior to and in conjunction with the Mendelssohn work, the Amarillo Symphony and Kirov have developed a unique collaboration with West Texas A&M University's theater department.
"We have prepared a few little surprises for our audience," Kirov said. "This is an opportunity to think outside the box and present classical music in an exciting way that speaks to everyone."
Overall, the performance should both delight and inspire audiences, said Susan White, executive director of the Amarillo Symphony.
"This is another great example of the Symphony doing what we do best: live classical music," she said. Kirov graduated from the orchestral conducting program of The Julliard School, and he serves as assistant conductor for Seattle Symphony. He has served as associate conductor of Memphis Symphony Orchestra as well as music director of the Memphis Youth Symphony program.
The maestro praised what he called Amarillo's "inspiring" arts scene, and said he would be eager to contribute to its growth if selected for the music director and conductor position.
"I see a huge potential for Amarillo to become one of the most distinguished cultural centers in the United States as well as internationally," he said.
White said several qualities made Kirov a qualifying finalist for the Amarillo Symphony post.
"With Stilian, we see a youthful energy in conducting and a passion to connect the orchestra with the community," White said.
The other two finalists for the Amarillo Symphony's music director and conductor position are Jacomo Rafael Bairos and Markand Thakar.
Thakar returned for his second appearance with the Amarillo Symphony in February. Bairos will lead the orchestra for his second time in April.
One of the three finalists will be named to the position in early summer and will join the Symphony full time for its 2013-14 season.

"~Port Clinton~" Port Clinton by Yaqui
Port Clinton Travel Guide: 24 reviews and 68 photos
In 1824 New York statesman, DeWitt Clinton proposed building a canal from Portage River Sandusky Ohio to Cincinnati. Yet, in 1827 Ezekiel Smith Haines bought the last remaining 1212 acres. The platting work was done by General Lytle, Ezekiel, and Elias Haines, O.M. Spencer and others of the village of Port Clinton and completed in 1828. Ezekiel Haines named this town Port Clinton after the DeWitt Clinton since he wished to honor "the Father of the Erie Canal" since he passed away four months before the platting was completed of the town.

I like towns associated with water. The canal would have been a large project in those days, but the hotel with one bathroom appears bad planning.
I hadn't heard of a mural that talks - sounds (!) a great idea. And I would enjoy an evening at the Rum Runner for sure ;-)
Dee, another delightful page. I especially loved the mural and the court house. Also enjoyed the historic hotel. You always present such great information. Superior photographs.

What Causes Bedwetting?
While bedwetting can be a distressing problem for kids and the adults who love them, the problem is usually not due to a serious medical condition and often ends on its own as children grow. Some children's urinary systems simply develop at a slow pace, making it difficult for them to control their bladders during the nighttime hours. For other children, sound sleep is the problem; they simply fail to wake up when they have the urge to urinate. Stress and changes to a child's lifestyle can also play a role in bedwetting. If your child is experiencing bedwetting for the first time, his or her pediatrician can help you determine the cause and recommend medical interventions if they are needed.
Ensuring Good Nights with Goodnites Pants
Bedwetting can be an embarrassing problem for children and a frustrating situation for their parents. When children wake up to a wet bed, they typically become distressed and quickly want to be dry and clean again. This usually involves waking up a parent, changing underwear and pajamas and remaking the bed with fresh linens. This time-consuming process deprives kids of much-needed sleep and can affect them the next day. Goodnites pants can make responding to a nighttime accident simpler. These protective undergarments fit like underwear, but they are highly absorbent. If your child has an accident, the material will lock wetness away, so that it does not leak out onto the bedding or the mattress. Upon waking, your child can simply pull off the Goodnites pants and replace them with a new pair.
A Solution You Can Count On
A brand in the Kimberly-Clark family of products, Goodnites is dedicated to helping children deal with bedwetting without shame or embarrassment. The brand's protective pants feature colors and patterns that make them look as much like ordinary underwear as possible. As a result, children don't feel as if they are wearing a diaper to bed and will be able to sleep more comfortably during the night. The award-winning design of Goodnites makes the brand a form of bedwetting protection frequently recommended by medical professionals.
Choosing the Right Goodnites Products
Goodnites products come in styles for both boys and girls. The patterns used to decorate the protective pants vary by gender with more masculine looks for boys and more feminine styles for girls. Boys' pants also offer additional protection in the front, while girls' pants are extra absorbent in the middle. In addition to choosing the right pants to suit your child's gender, you'll also want to take his or her size into consideration when selecting the protective pants. Goodnites are sized by weight, so you may want to weigh your child before you shop online.

Comprehensive Description
Biology/Natural History: This anemone-like cerianthid lives in a soft, black, slimy tube that may extend a meter or farther into the sediment. The tube extends slightly above the sediment and is made of a secretion of nematocyst-like organelles called ptychocysts. The cerianthid quickly withdraws into the tube when disturbed, and may leave a star-shaped track in the mud around the tube entrance with its tentacles when it withdraws. Predators include the nudibranch Dendronotus iris, which may be drawn into the tube and continue feeding when the cerianthid withdraws. Dendronotus iris attaches its eggs to the tube of the cerianthid, which appears to be its principal prey. Feeding by the nudibranch usually does not kill the cerianthid. The aboral end of the cerianthid is pointed and adapted to digging. Cerianthids differ from anemones in several ways, such as having an aboral anal pore. Cerianthids have unusually rapidly-conducting nervous systems for Anthozoans. Some cerianthids have fluorescent tentacles.

Pachycerianthus fimbriatus
Pachycerianthus fimbriatus is a mono-chromal anemone that burrows in substrate through a semi-rigid tube. The anemone is often seen in bright orange to red.
Like most anemones, the tube-dwelling anemone contains stinging cells or nematocytes along its tentacles, however, the cells are not toxic to humans.
Pachycerianthus fimbriatus feeds on small crustaceans. Giant nudibranchs have been documented to prey upon P. fimbriatus. There are five known species among the Genus Pachycerianthus: aestuarii, fimbriatus, insignis, johnsoni, and multiplicatus.

Two witnesses go to the beit din and claim that so and so violated the sabbath on a biblical level. The witnesses claim they warned him in accordance with the rules and they did their part as witnesses. When so and so is brought to beis din, he claims he did a melacha (such as digging a hole), but he claims it was for the dirt. Which would only be a rabbinical prohibition because it's a מלאכה שאין צריכה לגופה. If a person were to use this as their defense to deflect the death penalty would it theoretically work?

The Maharsha (Bava Basra 119a) discusses the case of the m'kosheish eitzim (the man who gathered wood on the Sabbath, see B'midbar 15:32-36). The Maharsha mentions that, according to Targum Yonasan (B'midbar 15:32), the man was not gathering wood for actual use. Instead, he was gathering wood in order to precipitate a divine revelation of the appropriate form of death penalty for a Sabbath violator.1
The Maharsha asks how the m'kosheish could have been liable to the death penalty according to Rabbi Shim'on, who exempts a m'lacha she'eina tz'richa l'gufa2 from liability. After all, the m'kosheish gathered the wood with an intent unrelated to the wood itself. The Maharsha answers that even though the m'kosheish was theoretically exempt according to R' Shim'on, he was still liable to be killed in a court since the witnesses were not made aware of his intentions at the time that they warned him:
Apparently, had he informed the witnesses initially that he was performing a m'lacha she'eina tz'richa l'gufa, he could not have been held liable in court (according to Rabbi Shim'on).3 Perhaps the Maharsha would even concede that a person would be exempt from punishment if the circumstances at the time of the m'lacha act suggest it was likely a m'lacha she'eina tz'richa l'gufa.
1 Alternatively, according to Tosafos (Bava Basra 119b, s.v. אפילו קטנה) he was demonstrating that the rest of the generation that was already condemned to a heavenly death penalty (for accepting the report of the spies, see B'midbar 14:20-35) was still obligated to follow the commandments.
2 Forbidden labor performed for some purpose other than the type of purpose for which that labor was performed in the construction of the mishkan (or also, according to some opinions, performed for the service of the mishkan). For example, digging a hole to get dirt rather than to create a furrow would be eina t'zricha l'gufa.
3 Though in the particular instance of the m'kosheish eitzim, as understood by those sources that say he was trying to get himself executed, such an exculpatory admission would have defeated his purpose.
Sanhedrin 40b:
Rashi on התיר עצמו למיתה:
Part of his warning was his acknowledgement that he will be killed for what he is about to do. Additionally, the warning must contain the specific prohibition that he is violating, complete with the name of the Av or Toldah of the Melacha (Tosefos based on Shabbos 138a). So he admitted exactly what act he was performing as part of accepting his warning, and he cannot deny later that he was doing exactly what he admitted to two witnesses that he was doing.

Used this in conjunction with Memory Bounce, and was amazed by the reduction in wrinkles / fine lines. Very impressive.
First time using this under eye concealer, very happy with the way it covers my under eye area. Goes on smooth, doesn't flake or clump up around the sensitive skin area under eye. Definitely worthy investment as I get older. I am 45+...
Nice product.does offer medium coverage
Better than most ive tried but i have dark circles. So need to mix
Thank you for a great service.
Your product range is very good & customer
help on the phone at "Feel Unique" excellent!
Best Regards Melanie Nichols - Guernsey
Doesn't conceal dark shadow under the eyes completely but is better than most other products I have tried. Perhaps a bit expensive for a small tube.
I REALLY struggle with my dark circles... But this is the only product that covers them up... I couldn't be without it
Best concealer on the market and trust me I've tried many. Super coverage and silky non-drying texture. Perfect for dark circles and on eyelids creates a smooth base for pressed powder eyeshadow.
Best concealer I've ever had!
Fantastic product! Highly recommended and exceptionally comfortable on the delicate skin around the eye area.
order alot from feelunique and their service, delivery and prices are always very good !
one of my must have peices at a great price!

Japan Bonds Rise on Concern Europe's Economy Set for Recession
Japan's bonds rose, pushing down 10-year yields from a four-month high, as concern Europe is headed for a recession supported demand for refuge assets.
Benchmark bond futures advanced for a fourth day before data tomorrow forecast to show Europe's economic growth stalled in the third quarter. Treasuries gained in New York on Dec. 2, breaking a five-day losing streak.
"The odds for a European recession are more than 50 percent," said Takeshi Minami, the Tokyo-based chief economist at Norinchukin Research Institute Co. "Demand for Japan's bonds as a safe asset is likely to increase further."
Japan's benchmark 10-year yield fell three basis points to 1.045 percent at 3:09 p.m. in Tokyo at Japan Bond Trading Co., the nation's largest interdealer debt broker. The 1.1 percent security due December 2021 added 0.272 yen to 100.497 yen. The rate touched 1.09 percent on Dec. 1, the highest since July 29.
Twenty-year yields dropped 2 1/2 basis points to 1.775 percent. Ten-year bond futures for December delivery gained 0.09 to 142.17 at the 3 p.m. close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
An estimate of Europe's gross domestic product will show it grew 0.2 percent in the third quarter, the same pace as the second quarter, according to the median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg News survey before the report.
Growth of factory orders in Germany, Europe's biggest economy, slowed to 1.9 percent in October from 2.4 percent the previous month, a separate survey showed before the data are released tomorrow.

IRASBURG — Brian Fecher, the chair of the Irasburg Select Board, submitted a letter of resignation from the board at a special meeting called for Thursday night. But he's still on the board for now.
"Recently I accepted a position that takes me over an hour away at least four days a week," Mr. Fecher's letter says.
"I'm away 40-50 hours a week," he said at the meeting. "I don't know that I can keep up with the responsibilities of being on the select board."
"Yesterday we received word that a buyer is seriously interested in the purchase of our house," the letter says. "As a result, our plans have changed and a timetable moved up."
Mr. Fecher said his new job responsibilities and the time he spends commuting is eating into time he previously spent working on town business.
However, he was worried about the effect that his resignation would have on the board and its workload…To read the rest of this article, and all the Chronicle's stories, subscribe:

A police investigation into allegations that a narcotics cop and his informant lied about drug buys so the officer could get search warrants has expanded to other officers and informants, a high-ranking police official said yesterday.
"The investigation includes everyone who made an arrest with [Officer Jeffrey] Cujdik and any other informant who worked with him," the official said.
At least six other police-paid informants worked with Cujdik.
Mayor Nutter, Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey and FBI Special Agent in Charge Janice Fedarcyk scheduled a news conference today to discuss the investigation.

I recently added another video card to my workstation - VisionTek Radeon x1550 in addition to ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT that I already had. I was wondering if there is any definitive way to know if there could be any compatibility issues with them?
The reason I am asking is that the video on the monitors connected to x1550 is very choppy & lags a lot. I tried switching monitors but same result.
Alternatively is it that only x1550 is to blame. I have installed latest drivers for both of them. So that should not be an issue.
EDIT: Radeon HD 2400 XT is installed on PCIe slot & Radeon x1550 is installed on PCI slot. 1 PCIe x1 expansion slot is available.

D7000 with Nikon 16-85 VR and ghost towns.
Renato, one was pushed pretty hard! Another had some serious tone mapping. Two simply had some careful dodging and burning. I increase local contrast by dodging the highlights and burning the shadows. As this can sometimes increase noise levels, I use Noise Ninja. The detail holds well, even when resampled to 16 x 24 inch prints. That would be close to A2 for the rest of the world. For those seeking similar results, there is some down-and-dirty software that does tone mapping - such as Color Efex Pro, Topaz Adjust, and many more.
I rarely use programs like Photomatix Pro which are full HDR.
Because my photographs and style bends toward the surreal anyway, sometimes this technique works well - other times NOT. The D7000 is fully capable of producing excellent raw files that can take this thrashing. You really do need maximum DR. JPG images will tend to fall apart. I do all my original work in 16 bit tiffs converted from 14 bit raw files. I hope this answers your question.

You are using some hard colors/contrast here, is there any HDR soft tech involved?

Other than that; here's how you can produce the symbol:
2016 update
I'm currently on Yosemite (10.10) and nowadays (I assume this works the same on El Capitan) you can hit Ctrl-Cmd-Space (^⌘Space) to launch the very useful Emoji & Symbols utility. For example, type "half" into the search at the top to find ½. It also lets you easily use the emojis you're used to on iPhone that are missing from desktop version of Facebook. 😁
Original, 2009 answer
If you need to type the symbol, here is some documentation on how to do it.
OS X Lion
Enter special characters or symbols from the Character Viewer
Mac OS X v10.6
To show the Character Viewer:
To use the Character Viewer:
For ½ ⅓ ⅔ etc on Lion 10.7.x on most applications click Edit-Special Characters... And look at
Another way to get it on your keyboard is installing Karabiner and writing a script or rebinding a key to produce the symbol when typed.
Karabiner is an app for remapping keys and mouseinput on Mac. I don't personally have a lot of experience remapping keys with it, but you might be able to figure it out from their documentation or maybe someone here can edit this answer, adding a script or instructions for how to do it.

I have a VPS(with OpenVZ virtualisation) set up with OpenVPN. Clients can connect to the server and the server can ping and access clients.
But clients does not have access to the internet through openvpn, therefore I want to add the following iptables line:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j SNAT --to-source <venet's IP>
This allows the openvpn clients to access the internet, but when I add this line the server can no longer ping clients or e.g. ssh into clients, is there a way to fix this?
