When you take a girl (or boy whatever the fuck you're into) into a restroom of a bar or club. You go into the stall to have sex. Have your partner face the toilet. While your partner is orgasming dunk their head into the toilet and flush it, whilst saying RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!! Invented by the band Looking Glass. And you wonder why Brandi was so popular.
Best results with used or unflushed toilet.

Dude I was so drunk last night I accidentally walked into the women's bathroom. There was this girl with a skirt and no panties puking into the toilet. So I helped her out and gave her the Kraken. That sobered her up a bit.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Florida Gov. Rick Scott has put in another "Let's Get to Work Day," this time as a crime laboratory analyst.
Scott on Thursday helped collect evidence submitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement by local agencies and processed DNA.
The governor also analyzed a gun and participated in an exercise with the cybercrimes unit at the FDLE's Orlando Regional Operations Center.
It was Scott's 14th such workday doing jobs ranging from making doughnuts to catching shrimp.
He borrowed the idea from former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham. It also is a play on his "Let's Get to Work" campaign slogan.

We consider a class of wireless networks with general interference constraints on the set of links that can be served simultaneously at any given time. We restrict the traffic to be single-hop, but allow for simultaneous transmissions as long as they satisfy the underlying interference constraints. We begin by proving a lower bound on the delay performance of any scheduling scheme for this system. We then analyze a large class of throughput optimal policies which have been studied extensively in the literature. The delay analysis of these systems has been limited to asymptotic behavior in the heavy traffic regime and order results. We obtain a tighter upper bound on the delay performance for these systems. We use the insights gained by the upper and lower bound analysis to develop an estimate for the expected delay of wireless networks with mutually independent arrival streams operating under the well-known maximum weighted matching (MWM) scheduling policy. We show via simulations that the delay performance of the MWM policy is often close to the lower bound, which means that it is not only throughput optimal, but also provides excellent delay performance.

For African Americans, discrimination is not dead
America's struggles with race and racism are never completely out of the news. But it is hard to remember when a series of stories have given this issue such resonance, whether in the rulings of the Supreme Court on affirmative action and voting rights, a tense trial in a Florida courtroom and even the racially insensitive comments of a celebrity chef.
How important are pride events to the LGBT community?
June is LGBT pride month and multiple cities—including Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Seattle—will hold annual events this weekend. But at a time when society is becoming more accepting of homosexuality, how important is it for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people today to show their support at these public events (which began as […]
High Court Strikes Down DOMA but Leaves Fate of Proposition 8 Uncertain
The U.S. Supreme Court has handed down two landmark same-sex marriage rulings, one striking down a major provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the other leaving uncertain the fate of California's Proposition 8.
Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage will likely impact immigration, too
There is an immigration angle to the Supreme Court ruling that struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act: Some gay and lesbian Americans will now be able to obtain visas for their foreign-born same-sex spouses. That is because the court's ruling states that federal law cannot make a distinction between opposite-sex married couples and […]

As Texas considers new abortion restrictions, polls show complex debate
Abortion opponents in the Texas state legislature have been busy this week trying to pass a bill aimed at banning most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The proposal, which passed the House on Monday, is now facing a Democratic filibuster in the state Senate. If the Senate approves it before the end of the legislative session at midnight and Republican Gov. Rick Perry (as promised) signs it, Texas would become the 13th state in recent years to enact such a restriction.

Currently, 35% of Americans say the increase in gay and lesbian couples raising children is a bad thing, a decline from recent years.

Sam Talbot Shares Diabetes-Friendly Recipes
You travel a lot. How do you stay healthy on the road?
I do a lot of planning. I don't want to be in a bind where I have to eat potato chips or a gas station hot dog. If I'm flying, the night before I'll make a batch of granola and other stuff that travels well that I can have on the plane.
How do you cope with holiday parties?
I try to eat at my house before I go. I'll do some kind of guacamole or something that's going to sustain me. I try to go in fortified so I eat smaller portions at the party. I drink wine sometimes, but only with food. I usually drink vodka with club soda and fresh lemon, so it's fewer calories and carbs. And for every drink that I have, I'll drink a glass of water.
What are you cooking for the holidays?
I love to braise turkeys. I take a whole turkey and break it down into parts, sear them in a pan, and then braise them with tomatoes and garlic and ginger. I serve it over brown rice with flaxseed or chia seed mixed in. It smells good, it's healthy, and that means everyone's feeling good.

I have created a simple WCF service to prototype file uploading. The service:
public class Service1
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "/Upload")]
public void Upload(Stream stream)
using (FileStream targetStream = new FileStream(@"C:\Test\output.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
It uses
webHttpBinding with
transferMode set to "Streamed" and
maxBufferPoolSize and
maxBufferSize all set to 2GB.
httpRuntime has
maxRequestLength set to 10MB.
The client issues HTTP requests in the following way:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(@"http://.../Service1.svc/Upload");
request.Method = "POST";
request.SendChunked = true;
request.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = false;
request.ContentType = MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet;
using (FileStream inputStream = new FileStream(@"C:\input.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
using (Stream outputStream = request.GetRequestStream())
Now, finally, what's wrong:
When uploading the file 100MB big, the server returns HTTP 400 (Bad request). I've tried to enable WCF tracing, but it shows no error. When I increase
maxRequestLength to 1GB, the file gets uploaded without problems. The MSDN says that
maxRequestLength "specifies the limit for the input stream buffering threshold, in KB".
This leads me to believe that the whole file (all 100MB of it) is first stored in "input stream buffer" and only then it is available to my
Upload method on server. I can actually see that the size of file on server does not gradually increase (as I would expect), instead, in the moment it is created it is already 100MB big.
The question: How can I get this to work so that the "input stream buffer" is reasonably small (say, 1MB) and when it overflows, my
Upload method gets called? In other words, I want the upload to be truly streamed without having to buffer the whole file anywhere.
I now discovered the
httpRuntime contains another setting that is relevant here -
requestLengthDiskThreshold. It seems that when the input buffer grows beyond this threshold, it is no longer stored in memory, but instead, on filesystem. So at least the whole 100MB big file is not kept in memory (this is what I was most afraid of), however, I still would like to know whether there is some way to avoid this buffer altogether.

I need a fancy phone :(
Thank you :D
I don't know how to get rid of the big attached image! I uploaded it smaller but its still there! Sorry!
So I played around with it, it still feels too linear, I don't know what to do in the background. Any suggestions:
You're right, it feels really, flat. I just don't know what I can do to improve it, thumbs will probably be a good place to start though, but I've looked at it so much I don't know how to go about...
So, I wanted do paint this piece, but I'm kind of, well stuck. So help on how I can approach this piece, because generally I feel really overwhelmed, as well as how to make it an actual over all...
Nice brush work, keep working hard, and try to get the head count right, ie, 6-7 heads for a woman, those kind of things will keep the form correct.
Your work is very clean, I think this is a little bit of a hindrance in some places ( in others works beautifully ) I would say, be scruffy, get down gestures and do quick pieces, you don't need to...
Thank you both!
Her joints make no sense, her one leg, the one that is bent, is so close to the camera, its such a warped perspective.
The skin colour is very flat, theres no real sense of light and with the...
I don't get the point in her armor, why on EARTH would she show off her arse. I think that while its all "design" style, be realistic. Its just not going to happen and its quite insulting, if you...
Am I the only one bothered by his arms? Have you got a reference for this?
@Tinybird, I'll play with the lighting on the shirt in the evening, and see if that helps. As for the leg, I'm going to fiddle around, maybe make a 3D Model of it and try to understand it a little...
I've already spent over a week working on it, I can't keep not finishing pieces, its not actually helping me. So no, I have to learn from my mistakes and apply it to new work.
Damn it! Yeah, is there anyway I can salvage it without re-drawing it entirely, do you think?
I got a little feedback, and I've moved the foot around, thoughts?
Are you sure? I feel the angle is wrong? I know I need to add some texture and some wrinkles, but I feel like it looks, wrong.
Hello again! I've gotten stuck on the feet of the image, I'm fairly confident with everything, but I'm really bad at legs, well feet particularly. Could I get some advice please?
I was going to help, but honestly. You are getting SO MUCH help. I can't wait to see it when you've tried them out.
His legs are, somewhat out of proportion, or at least it feels that way. Its also very angular, and the cloth doesn't have that feel, so it all looks very flat, very rigid and very confusing to the...
I can't figure out whats going on after the sword, also his hand seems to be really quite tiny, unless its some distorted perspective that I just haven't figured out. If theres a fire at his knees,...
I agree with Chas, right now, the dimensions are a bit crazy. I can't tell how big the room is, because right now it looks really squished and tiny!
( while I say I don't understand, I don't mean the texture. I mean the volume, there is A LOT of hair but her fringe also takes up a lot of space, I don't know how it would be possible to achieve. )
I really like the waist, I'm a little bit curious about the skin, its not very, well, nice. Its very muddy, it also looks like around the collar you've guessed a little.
A also don't understand...
P.s I flipped it over for ease, I'm left handed.

Recurrence statistics for Stage III Colon Cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am vast approaching my three year surgical resection anniversary. I was Stage III colon cancer with 1 out of 23 nodes tested positive (40 years old) Colon resection with all normal margins. (1 ½ inches of rectum removed 5-FU and Radiation. My health has been very good. All Scans clear for three years.
What the normal testing protocol after three years? I am always concerned about recurrence. After three years from surgery are the statistics get better?
Najjia N. Mahmoud, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in the Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery, responds:
After two years, the recurrence statistics start to improve dramatically, although we are fairly vigilant up to 5 years after diagnosis and treatment.
Proper follow-up is difficult to get a consensus across the board. However, it should include a colonoscopy at year 1 after surgery, and another one 3 years later. Colonoscopy 3 years after that is probably wise, and if that is negative, again 5 years later. CT scans could probably be reduced to once a year until year 5 with CEA's twice a year.
The vigilance of colonoscopic evaluation is partly based on estimated risk. If you are quite young, (less than 50) at diagnosis or have a strong family history (3 first degree relatives with colon cancer) in two successive generations, then you may have a hereditary form of cancer and may need more frequent screening. These patients or patients who feel they may benefit from genetic counseling can get a much better idea of their risk based on a detailed evaluation of family history. Anybody can take advantage of the service.

In the year since Microsoft kicked off its Anti-Virus Reward Program, it has tallied only a single success. The program has offered $1 million to informants who help close official investigations into four major viruses and worms, and has another $4 million earmarked for future rewards, but the deluge of online threats has continued to swell.
"I think it is fair to say for every time they have gone public to offer a bounty, it hasn't worked," said Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant at Sophos, an antivirus software company.
The software giant has offered four $250,000 rewards for information leading to the arrest of the culprits behind four online threats. Source: CNET News.com
Microsoft's most wanted
The software giant has offered four $250,000 rewards for information leading to the arrest of the culprits behind four online threats.
Source: CNET News.com
Two worms and two viruses have caused Microsoft enough pain to be included on its most-wanted list: the MSBlast and Sasser worms, and the Sobig.F and MyDoom viruses. The company has offered $250,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for each malicious program.
The most recent case, concerning the Sasser worm, could be counted as the program's biggest success. German authorities arrested a teenager in May after Microsoft tipped them off with details about the alleged Sasser author it had received from informants.
Cluley noted that Microsoft had not offered a public bounty in the Sasser case and decided to pay the reward only after being approached by the informant, a friend of the suspected author.
The software company points out that nevertheless, the Sasser case would not have been broken without the lure of cash.
"We are very encouraged by it; we feel it has been successful," said Rich Lamagna, the director of worldwide investigations for Microsoft and a 30-year law enforcement veteran. "Indications from our law enforcement counterparts are that it seems like more people are coming forward."
In the past, arrests in Internet crime cases have almost always resulted from the culprit making a mistake, such as leaving a digital trail or attempting to collect a payment. It's only in very few instances that accomplices turned on their online friends--making Microsoft's reward program a long shot.
Security researchers do see benefits in the program. "From my point of view, it has to be a good thing that the rewards are out there," said Sophos' Cluley. "From Microsoft's point of view, it is a win, because they are shown to be doing something, even if it doesn't end up with results."
Security threats aimed at Microsoft products have become more and more common, prompting the company to make hobbling the advance of digital pests part of its security push. A recent study also found that online threats are extremely successful against home users, with one in five PCs infected with a computer virus, and four in five PCs home to spyware.
The Sasser worm, which started spreading on May 1, has infected an estimated 500,000 to 1 million systems, security experts estimate. The worm does little damage and, unlike previous fast-spreading worms, has not caused overwhelming network disruptions. However, in many cases, the worm does cause infected Windows XP and Windows 2000 computers to repeatedly reboot.
If the alleged author of the worm, Sven Jaschan, is convicted of criminal charges, Microsoft will be on the hook to pay out the bounty. Law enforcement forces in that country believe that Jaschan, an 18-year-old resident of Waffensen in the Lower Saxony region of Germany, also coded more than two dozen versions of the mass-mailing computer virus Netsky, which is not on Microsoft's reward list.
Despite the arrest, new versions of Netsky, originally dubbed the Skynet virus, continue to be created by copycat authors. A security company has hired Jaschan, pending his conviction.
While the Sasser case works its way though German courts, an anonymous analysis released late last week has reopened the hunt for the author of the Sobig virus. Microsoft announced a reward for information on the Sobig.F virus in November 2003.
The unnamed authors of the report used digital forensics to compare the release schedules of the Sobig virus and of an application for

Whenever my laptop wakes up from sleep mode, I'm unable to see the external drive connected to it. I've tried restarting and reconnecting the external drive, and scanning the local and external disks for issues but found no problems.
The only way to get the drive working again is by restarting the whole laptop.
Any ideas why this is happening, and how I can fix it?

You fell head-over-heels in love with Beauty Protector's Protect & Detangle styling spray when we first sampled it. Thanks to your rave reviews, Beauty Protector went ahead and developed this shampoo for an exclusive launch with Birchbox. The sulfate-free formula is powered by pearl powder, which is rich in conchiolin, an ingredient that acts like the hair protein keratin. This fortifying ingredient teams up with other nutrients that guard against and heal the effects of heat styling (think frizz and destroyed ends). The result is glossy, bouncy strands that, yes, also smell amazing.
Got a gift subscription for my birthday and this shampoo was in the first box that I received in September. The consistency is very thick, but once you wet it a little, it lathers up nicely. It also smells wonderful. However, in terms of how my hair felt after using it, I can't say that I saw much of a difference between this and my regular shampoo.3
I'm always trying new products and this shampoo impressed me. I work in a store that focus' on products of more natural or organic nature and I think I like this product better than the one's we carry. I actually like it enough to have ordered 2 bottles. (Thank you 3 year promo)5
I agreed with the reviews that this shampoo doesn't lather up but I don't think it needs too. It is really thick and it takes some time to work it into your hair but when you rinse it out your hair does feel truly clean not 'stripped' or 'greasy' like most shampoos. I really liked this product, the only turn off is the price, ouch! $20 for 8oz...?? I am going to have to hide it from my husband so he doesn't use it if I buy this product, lol!4
When I received my Birchbox, there was a heavenly scent eminating from it...and it was this product! I was really excited to try it, just to surround myself with the smell. It lathers fairly well for a sulfate free shampoo, although I did use a bit more the second time around. I have short, wavy, frizzy hair, prone to being oily at the roots on the second day. This product did not do much for my frizz, but it made it really soft and "manageable". The scent stayed for the entirety of the day, which was a major bonus. I could see myself buying this if I wasn't already in love with what I use.3
I really enjoyed trying this sample. I love the smell and the way it makes your hair shine. The only think I would change about it is more lather. I have thick long hair and only using a quarter size amount at first was not enough. But the shine you get from this product is amazing.
I love the scent of this. I have medium length, fine hair so I only usually use a nickel sized amount of shampoo and I could not get a very good lather which I worried might get my hair as clean. I think that's just the quality of the shampoo as my hair felt silky and clean after the shower. It's also not too heavy as I've been able to go a day without washing my hair and it hasn't gotten oily at all.4

call for submissions - hoax #10: feminisms and EMBODIMENTS
Photo of previous issue, selected because cat!
--A zine is something I do because I have something to say and I don't care who sees it as long as it's out there.
--Being a feminist has nothing to do with my armpits or my sexuality (both are fine, thanks for asking).
--Being a feminist is NOT man-bashing. Got that? (Though I wonder if so many people ask me that because male-oriented things are usually so ferociously unfriendly and demeaning to women. Don't judge me by the boys' rules, okay? I'm a human, treat me that way.) It's working for pesky things like equal pay for equal work, abortion access, helping battered women, affirmative action, welfare rights, birth control, daycare, ending racism, healing rape victims -- there's no fucking time for man-bashing. Don't I wish there was.

Police are appealing for help as they investigate poaching at
Galloway Station, near Alexandra.
Detective Sergeant Liz Williams said she had received some
information but would like to talk to the informant again.
Police raised concerns about poachers and hunters recently,
saying lives were being put at risk by the recklessness of
In recent weeks, a landowner who was irrigating at night had
to take cover in a ditch after a person shooting rabbits from
the roadside fired into the paddock he was working in. In
another incident, an employed night shooter was spotlighted
by a poacher. A Waikerikeri Valley couple also expressed
concern after shots were fired near the family home.
Det Sgt Williams said such incidents were a problem but were
being reported increasingly often, which was a good thing.

We have an automated builder that creates a "setup.exe" installer file which can then be downloaded by users in our organisation for QA testing. They download the file via a browser from a "review/test" website which is accessible only from inside our network.
The problem is that we have updated our AD server and group policies since the last program release, and these users had their local administration rights revoked.
Is it possible to add an exception for a specific installer? Please bear in mind, this installer will be rebuilt several times and we don't want to have to create a sepcific exception for each new test release.

LEWISVILLE (May 25, 2014) Two people died when the motorcycle on which they were riding crashed into a guardrail on Interstate 35-East in Lewisville.
Witnesses told officers the motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed and weaving through traffic Saturday evening when the driver lost control in the southbound lanes and the bike hit the guardrail.
The accident happened shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday.
Both victims died at the scene, police Lt. Dan Rochelle said.
Their names haven't yet been released.

Who am I, you ask?
I live in Manhattan. I'm a former lawyer and legal editor and in the fall of 2015 I'm learning to become a web developer.
I'm gay. I have a great husband. We've been together since 2003 and got married in 2013 on the tenth anniversary of our first date.
I'm Jewish.
I'm 5'6″ and weigh about 140 pounds.
I got my BA and my JD from the University of Virginia.
What does the future hold? I don't know.
That's part of the fun.
Why "Tin Man"?
First of all, it has a gay reference (he's a "friend of Dorothy").
Second, the Tin Man was way too hard on himself. He thought he had no heart — he thought he was too cold and uncaring — only to find out in the end that he'd had quite a big heart all along. I used to feel the same way about myself: I used to think I was too logical, too unemotional, with an impaired ability to feel. I eventually came to realize, however, that there is nothing wrong with being guided by my emotions, with following my heart. (Though ideally, there's a left-brain/right-brain balance.) I know that deep down, I've always been creative, with a keen sense of emotions; but deep down, I also resort to logic when the emotions get too confusing. I still could do a better job of toning down my logical side, but I've come a long way. So that's why.
Okay, but why "Tinmanic"?
Because I wanted my own domain name, but www.tinman.com, www.tinman.org, and www.tinman.net were all taken, and I didn't want a name with a hyphen. What does the name mean? Take your pick:
1. It's an adjective. "He's like the Tin Man… in fact, he's tinmanic."
2. It's a play on the word manic. "He's not just manic… he's tinmanic!"
3. Tin Man? I see. (tinman+i.c.)

I would like to play a sound file during a phone call so that the person at the other end of the line can hear it clearly.
I know it is possible to play sounds on the line but i can't figure out how to cut the microphone at the same time so the person at the other side of the line don't hear ambient noises.
Does someone knows how to do that? Or have any cue where I could look for information?

John Allison has two more quarterly results to report before he retires. I believe that John and his people will turn every stone to show good results for John. I believe that BB&T will show a profit of more than $1.50 for the last half of 2008.
Karen Finerman has the month of September to talk down BB&T shares. I believe that she has gotten her fund into a very siginicant short position. She has spent weeks bashing BB&T on CNBC. WHEN BB&T shows good third quarter results Karen will have to cover I would think.
I'm shocked JA has announced his retirement without getting the pps up over $50.
By shorting BBT, Karen is setting herself up for a big problem. Now she won't be able to buy her dream house, 10,000 sq.f., no kitchen, no bedroom.
I bought it when the yield was 8% on the divvy.
One of the best moves I ever made. Good luck Karen. I hope it waxes you.
Cramer just recomended BBT "Kiss of Death"
aaawwwwwwwwwwww poor baby, dont get yer panties in a wad. Oh I knowm numbie must have kicked you out or is it your time of the month
LMFAO...got ya. And quit lusting after palin, she wouldn't give a washed up limped dick geezer like you the time of day.
awwww poor baby dont be so hard on yerself, and stand by for a killer conservative speech tonight
its too easy, not even a challenge
aaawwwww pooor baaaaaybeeee
Nice....nothing better than that? How 'bout another cut and paste? But again, my hats off to you, you get an "A" for effort. Tell me again what you know about the ga. bank that failed. hehehehe Or maybe abou the land fraud scam that BB&T got sucked into in NC. HAHAHAHA
awwwww poor baby
Is 34-36 a relistic price for BBT or do you think it could go higher??? I notice
43 has been the high in the last several yrs!!
I guess if they buy back shares in might go to 50ish in several yrs???
i feel 34 to 36 in next couple of weeks b/c of dividend, then drop back down to 30 to 32 after mid october. what usually happens after dividend, and when can insiders sell shares they puchase? is it 30 days?

Coolink GFXChilla
Coolink doesn't have many products available at this time but they are destined to grow in 2008. Their Silentator CPU Cooler is one of my favorites and I am optimistic for the GFXChilla. The GFXChilla uses four 6mm heatpipes that move GPU heat to an aluminum fin area cooled by two thin 80mm fans. The system only takes up two slots so in most cases you can maintain your current PCI card arrangement.
Four 6mm heatpipes for excellent heat distribution throughout the cooling fins
Two large, low-profile 80x80x10mm fans (18dB)
Low profile: takes up only 2 expansion slots

Coolink want to make a statement on the front of their package, and that statement is all inclusive. Not only do you see the two 80mm blue fans in a window, it says right on the front that VRM and memory cooling is in the box.
The back of the package shows a nice illustration of the cooler and lists many of the features.
The top of the cooler is all fans, with nothing else poking out.
On the bottom is a copper base with the four heatpipes that run to a tightly packed fin area.
Here we see even placement of the heatpipes and that the cooler is actually very thin, only taking up two slots with the graphics card installed.
The fins are not very tall, we will have to see if this affects performance when we get into testing.
Coolink includes a small tube of their thermal paste as well as memory and VRM heatsinks that already have thermal tape applied to them. A 3-pin to 4-pin adapter is included in the package also.

A new campaign for the Volkswagen Fox from AlmapBBDO Brazil conveys the small car's latest interior features by turning it inside-out…
Alongside the poster, there's a microsite, foxfromtheinside.com, that lets users turn the Fox inside-out and – for reasons probably known only to the agency – write their own 'backwards' messages on Twitter or Facebook. There's also an accompanying online campaign, elements of which can be viewed at almpabbdo.com site.
It's an interesting way of conveying the new interior details of VW's Fox model, not usually a focus for a car ad, while alluding to the bigger-than-you-think reactions that they hope consumers will have when they take a peek inside.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Broward County's main courthouse is
closed for the day, thanks to a water main break that flooded the
first two floors of the building.
The sheriff's office says that as a result of Sunday night's
flooding, most of the courthouse's phones and computers are down.
The clerk of the court offices are also affected.
The courthouse will be closed on Monday.
Computers used for emergency bond hearings were still working as
of midnight, however, so the video conferences between inmates and
judges are expected to go forward as planned.

Although low-, standard-, and most high-risk patients currently are treated with chemotherapy-only protocols, the described neurocognitive effects for ALL patients are based on a heterogeneous treatment group of survivors in the past who were treated with combinations (simultaneously or sequentially) of intrathecal chemotherapy, radiation, and high-dose chemotherapy making it difficult to differentiate the impact of the individual components. In the future, more accurate data will be available about the neurocognitive effects on survivors of childhood ALL treated with chemotherapy only.
In a large prospective study (N = 555) of neurocognitive outcomes in children with newly diagnosed ALL randomly assigned to CNS-directed therapy according to risk group (low: intrathecal methotrexate vs. high-dose methotrexate; high: high-dose methotrexate vs. cranial radiation therapy), a significant reduction in IQ scores (4 to 7 points) was observed between all patient groups when compared with controls (P < .002), regardless of the CNS treatment delivered. Children younger than 5 years at diagnosis were more likely than children older than 5 years at diagnosis to have IQs below 80 at 3 years posttherapy, irrespective of treatment allocation, suggesting that younger children are more vulnerable to treatment-related neurologic toxic effects.[25]
In the St. Jude Total XV (NCT00137111) trial, which omitted prophylactic cranial irradiation, comprehensive cognitive testing of 243 participants at week 120 revealed higher risk for below-average performance on a measure of sustained attention but not on measures of intellectual functioning, academic skills, or memory. The risk of cognitive deficits correlated with treatment intensity but not with age at diagnosis or gender. These results underscore the need for longitudinal follow-up to better characterize the prevalence and magnitude of cognitive deficits after CNS-directed therapy with chemotherapy alone.[26]
ALL and cranial radiation
In survivors of ALL, cranial radiation therapy does lead to identifiable neurodevelopment late sequelae. Although these abnormalities are mild in some patients (overall IQ fall of approximately 10 points), those who have received higher doses at a young age may have significant learning difficulties.[27,28] Deficits in neuropsychological functions, such as visual-motor integration, processing speed, attention, and short-term memory are reported in children treated with 18 Gy to 24 Gy.[29,30,31] Girls and younger children are more vulnerable to cranial irradiation.[32,33,34] The decline in intellectual functioning appears to be progressive, showing more impairment of cognitive function with increasing time since radiation therapy.[35,36] When the neurocognitive outcome of radiation therapy and chemotherapy-only CNS regimens are directly compared, the evidence suggests a better outcome for those treated with chemotherapy alone although some studies show no significant difference.[37,38,39]

LOS ANGELES — "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence is glad to reminisce about the plucky sitcom that survived years of time slot upheaval and a transplant from one network to another.
At this point, however, the discussion is akin to talking in the past tense about a hospital patient who is still working through the Jell-O course. In other words, "Scrubs" isn't a goner yet.
ABC may yet decide to give the show, or some incarnation of it, a spot on the network's 2009-10 schedule to be announced later this month. After all, ABC did rescue "Scrubs" after NBC dropped it last year, and the sitcom is produced by ABC Studios.
So Lawrence devised a season-closer Wednesday that also could serve as the show's final curtain.
It's an approach built around the departures of series star Zach Braff and Lawrence himself from the world of Sacred Heart Hospital.
"It's my last year and Zach's last year, so the finale is exactly what we would have written as a series finale. And if it goes forward, it's still what we would have written as Zach's finale," Lawrence said.
A key question: What happens with erratic lovebirds J.D. (Braff) and Elliot (Sarah Chalke)?
Lawrence can imagine a ninth season for "Scrubs," even if it loses cast members to other projects. After all, the show was first pitched as a comic version of "ER," able to accommodate new faces as the years passed.
Slideshow: Celebrity Sightings There's been talk that some of the actors, including Braff, may return on occasion if the show is renewed. As for Lawrence, his "Cougar Town" pilot starring Courteney Cox is under consideration by ABC.
But, he said, "I don't think there can ever be a show called 'Scrubs' that I wouldn't at least check in on."
It's been a memorable and instructive ride, especially the bumpy bit across the NBC schedule. Those scheduling shifts made it unlikely the comedy could achieve big ratings gain, a reality that Lawrence says he came to embrace.

"What was liberating about it was you stop trying to write things for everyone and make the people laugh who already liked the show — and, believe it or not, it's a lot easier to do," he said.
Lawrence and his staff made the most of the show's cult status, reaching out to die-hard fans with Webisodes, regular "Ask 'Scrubs'" videos in which cast members responded to audience questions and online Q&A sessions.
Those viewers understood and supported "Scrubs" even when its original network didn't, selling it in early promotional spots as zany and goofy when Lawrence was trying for something with comedic depth.
He recalled a first-season script, an exploration of death, in which each of three young doctors loses a patient. NBC executives tried to talk him out of it.
"I got phone calls: 'Couldn't just one die? Or if two have to die, could one be a really mean person, like a racist?'" he recalled.
The episode remained intact, received Emmy nominations and helped cement the show's following.
"It made me have a respect for the audience," Lawrence said.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The San Antonio Water System will appeal dismissal of its $1.2 billion water-rights lawsuit against the Lower Colorado River Authority.
A judge in Austin on Feb. 1 threw out the lawsuit, ruling LCRA was protected by sovereign immunity, so the San Antonio system would need legislative approval to sue.
SAWS has accused the LCRA of breaching a water-sharing arrangement by killing plans to capture and resell excess water.
The SAWS board voted Monday to appeal.
LCRA spokesman Robert Cullick says the authority would "like to get back to the task of planning for the regional water needs of Texas." He says more than $1 million has already been spent in legal fees by both sides.

A new attempt to beef up the authorities of federal CIOs and change the way commodity IT is procured was unveiled Dec. 17 by two members of the Appropriations Committee, one from each party.
The measure, backed by Sens. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), is essentially the same as Title I of the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA), which passed the House as an amendment to the annual defense spending bill but was excluded from the final version of the legislation.
The Federal Information Technology Savings, Accountability, and Transparency Act would put a CIO atop the IT authority structure at each agency, and make that post a presidential appointment reporting to agency heads.
Agency CIOs would have department-wide budget authority over the acquisition of off-the-shelf technology and hiring authority over IT personnel. The bill also would require agencies to disclose cost and performance information for at least 80 percent of their IT portfolio, although there are exceptions allowed for national security.
"The systemically flawed rollout of HealthCare.gov is one high-profile example of IT procurement failures, but [many other] projects incur cost overruns, project delays and are abandoned altogether. These examples of waste come at a cost of billions of dollars to American taxpayers," Moran said in a statement. "Our bill will help the federal government transition into the 21st century in a fiscally responsible fashion by optimizing its use of IT."
Udall and Moran had hoped to tack their language onto the defense authorization bill, but the chairs of the Armed Services Committees in the House and the Senate opted to proceed with a bill with few amendments and FITARA was excluded, along with a proposal from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) to add language mandating data center consolidation.
Industry is looking for changes to IT acquisition policy, and was involved in refining FITARA before it passed the House. Both FITARA and the new Senate bill address some key issues of concern, but none of the legislation proposed so far takes a comprehensive look at the structural problems identified by vendors, such as the difficulty in aligning annual appropriations cycles with product lifecycles, and obstacles to acquiring enterprise-wide tools inside and across departments. None of the proposals has generated unqualified enthusiasm among industry.
"We appreciate and encourage the interest and commitment of Senators Tom Udall and Jerry Moran to identify holistic approaches to improving the way the federal government acquires information technologies. If the federal government continues to rely on the private sector for innovative technologies to carry out key missions and services, holistic improvements to the federal acquisition system are essential," Trey Hodgkins, senior vice president of public sector at the IT Alliance for Public Sector told FCW in an emailed statement.
The elimination of FITARA from the defense bill has opened the door to more IT reform legislation.
The problematic launch of HealthCare.gov put federal IT on the front burner for many lawmakers. House FITARA backers Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) plan to proceed with the bill as a stand-alone measure, and it's likely other efforts will emerge in the Senate, including a revival of Shaheen's data center consolidation measure.

The Poison Is Arsenic, and the Suspect Wood
By ADAM LIPTAK
Published: June 26, 2002
HERNANDO, Miss., June 19 — It took six hospitalizations and a number of misdiagnoses before Lynn Milam learned what was causing the vomiting and diarrhea that almost killed her in 1999. The arsenic levels in her body, her doctor said, were about 100 times what they should have been.
Ms. Milam was relieved to have a diagnosis, however terrifying. That relief vanished when the police arrived. "They said someone was trying to kill me, and they were almost 100 percent sure it was Tom," her husband, Ms. Milam said.
But she refused to believe it. "I know the man," she said. "If he were going to kill me, he'd just shoot me."
Ms. Milam's instincts were borne out when laboratory tests conducted by the F.B.I. showed that her husband had even more arsenic in his system than she had in hers.
The results helped take the wind out of the criminal investigation, but the case has not gone away. It has since evolved into a consumer lawsuit focused on the last remaining suspect in the poisoning of the Milams: the A-frame cabin they had been building in this small town some 20 miles south of Memphis.
Vicki S. Wood, one of the Milams' lawyers, said the couple were victims of chromated copper arsenate, or C.C.A., the predominant wood preservative in the United States and the subject of an emerging body of product liability lawsuits around the country. Some of the lumber for the Milams' two-story cabin frame had been treated with C.C.A., which prevents decay and repels termites. It also contains arsenic.
Arsenic, a chemical that occurs naturally in the environment in small amounts, is a fatal poison at high doses and a known carcinogen at lower ones.
C.C.A.-treated wood, a $4 billion industry, is a popular choice for decks, picnic tables and playground sets that must stand up to warm, wet weather. The wood has a distinctive pale green color and is sold in home improvement stores nationwide.
There is substantial evidence that C.C.A.-treated lumber leaches arsenic over time. Whether that is cause for concern is in dispute, as is the safety of playgrounds built with C.C.A.-treated wood.
"C.C.A.-treated wood is practically everywhere," said Hugh McNeely, a Louisiana lawyer who represents plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against sellers and manufacturers of the wood. "The potential for widespread personal injury or potential latent manifestation of arsenic- and chromium-related health problems is profound."
The industry disputes that. A report commissioned by two manufacturers and prepared by Barbara Beck, a toxicologist with the Gradient Corporation, environmental consultants, concluded that "use of C.C.A.-treated wood in both a residential and a playground setting does not pose a significant health risk to children or adults."
In an interview, Dr. Beck said the risks associated with incidental exposure to C.C.A.-treated wood and the soil beneath it were lower than those associated with arsenic in food or allowed under the new federal limits for arsenic in drinking water.
Philip J. Landrigan, a professor at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in Manhattan, said the dangers from incidental exposure were a matter of perspective. "All cancer risks are dose-related," he said, "but since this is not an essential product for life in the modern world, we should find a way to live without it."
While there is debate about incidental exposure, there is agreement that working with the wood can be dangerous. The Environmental Protection Agency and manufacturers of treated wood advise consumers not to use wood with surface residue; to wear gloves, a dust mask and goggles while sawing; to saw outdoors; and never to burn the wood.
The Milams did everything wrong.
"I was holding each log while Tom cut the end of it," Ms. Milam said. "I was wearing shorts and no gloves."
They worked indoors, and they burned some of the wood.
Jeffery Artis, a spokesman for the F.B.I., comes close to asserting cause and effect. "We have not made a determination that the arsenic in their bodies came from the treated wood," Mr. Artis said, "but we know that at the time the arsenic levels were very high, they were working with the sawdust."
The Milams have sued several manufacturers and retailers, all of which deny responsibility for the poisoning, and the American Wood Preservers Institute, a trade group.
Its president, Parker Brugge, declined to comment on the lawsuit. As a general matter, he said, "the wood is safe when it's used according to the consumer safety sheet" put together by the industry.
The Milams say they never received such information. Experts say this is common.
"You see people go into a lumberyard and ask for wood to build a deck," Professor Landrigan said, "and there is no sign or other warning about these dangers."
Mel Pine, a spokesman for the trade association, said that the industry had fulfilled its obligation to inform the public about the dangers of treated wood but that until recently, "at the retail stores the compliance was less than perfect."
That is improving, he said. An audit of 250 major retailers in March, he said, showed that about 80 percent tagged the wood with a condensed version of the safety sheet.

What the Return of the Coreys
I've been excited all day. First I woke up excited, knowing that tonight is the debut of America's Got Talent (NBC, 8 pm) — wherein Regis Philbin hosts another American Idol knockoff featuring freaky acts from all over the country and judged by DAVID FREAKING HASSELHOFF! I was like, "YES! There is a GOD!" Then I heard the sad news that super producer Aaron Spelling (90210, Charlie's Angels) has suffered a stroke, and I was like, "F.U. GOD! There is no YOU!"
BUT THEN! I heard the news that some fucking genius is producing a Curb Your Enthusiasm-style sitcom featuring the classic film duo of Corey Haim and Corey Feldman (License to Drive, Dream a Little Dream) and I literally had a God-inspired orgasm in my pants. From Variety… DIG IT:
"The Coreys" picks up with Feldman living the comfortable suburban life with his wife Suzie and son, until circumstances bring his old pal Haim back into the picture. Episodes would follow Haim — single and the total opposite of Feldman — as he shakes life up for the Feldmans.
RDF USA exec VP of current/development Greg Goldman said because Feldman and Haim have been friends on and off screen for several years, the chemistry between the two " just pops off the screen."
God, I shall never doubt you again. Unless you kill Hasselhoff.

I should mention that I am fairly novice!
Thank you!
I generally like the Customizr theme, but I would like to reduce the default max site width. How can I do that?
I should mention that I am fairly novice!
Thank you!
Try this in you Custom CSS:
body {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 800px;
changing 800px to what you want.
But, as a novice, are you sure you want to do this?! The Theme is Responsive which means it adjusts to different screen sizes. If you change the default, you risk screwing up how it looks on Widescreens-Tablets-Smartphones etc.
Thank you! It worked! I am ok with the width being smaller than wider screens, in fact it improves the look of the pictures in the slider. It still can get smaller. I just didn't want the max size too wide.
Sorry, so one last question. This doesn't seem to be working on the rest of the pages. How can I change each page's max width easily.
The body tag should work throughout. Do you have a link to your site?
Actually I found that the following helps with this issue.
html {
max-width: 1200px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative; /* Fix for absolute positioning */
Thanks Karactur, that worked! How do you change the colour of the background in the empty space around the body?
Look at this Snippet
I don't know if I should start a new thread, first time using wordpress but... using the above code:
body {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 800px;
Only changed the header and footer, (perfect for what I want) but not the rest of the content. How can I get the whole site, or at least the static front page, to be a little narrower or 80% of the screen?
i want to remove sidebar with custom css on my all new tricks website any help?
@achatap, this Forum is for supporting the Customizr theme.
i don't uderstand what is mean by Customizr theme ?
@achatap Customizr is a theme -> Customizr
@achatap, see if you can contact your theme's vendors about support for your theme.
thanks for reply @rdellconsulting , @d4z_c0nf , @Andrew Nevins , i got solution on my problem. my site is working fine now.
@achatap: As per the forum welcome, could you post a new topic?
