quote:No surprise, it's a government run system. In its view these are not humans, they are budget items.

quote:I believe it is morally wrong to starve someone to death or dehydrate someone to death, even if they are very sick, it is a very inhumane way to let someone die.
quote:No. But after your 2nd surgery, and 3rd round of chemoradiation, with minimal systemic response, can we let you die then? Or should we listen to your family who is demanding we keep pumping you full of chemo in the hopes of the 4th round generating the response we didn't get the first 3 times? All on Medicare's dime?

Peritonsillar abscess is a collection of infected material in the area around the tonsils.
Quinsy; Abscess - peritonsillar
Peritonsillar abscess is a complication of tonsillitis . It is most often caused by a type of bacteria called group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus.
Peritonsillar abscess is usually a condition of older children, adolescents, and young adults. It has become uncommon with the use of antibiotics to treat tonsillitis.
One or both tonsils become infected. The infection usually spreads behind the tonsil and can then spread down into the neck and chest. Swollen tissues can block the airway. This is a life-threatening medical emergency.
The abscess can break open (rupture) into the throat. The content of the abscess can then travel into the lungs and cause pneumonia.
Symptoms of peritonsillar abscess include:
An examination of the throat often shows swelling on one side and on the roof of the mouth.
The uvula in the back of the throat may be shifted away from the swelling. The neck and throat may be red and swollen on one or both sides.
The following tests may be done:
If the infection is caught early, you will be given antibiotics. More likely, if an abscess has developed, it will need to be drained with a needle or by cutting it open. You will be given pain medicine before this is done.
Sometimes, at the same time the abscess is drained, the tonsils will be removed. In this case, you will be put to sleep with anesthesia.
Peritonsillar abscess usually goes away with treatment, although the infection may return in the future.
Call your health care provider right away if you have had tonsillitis and you develop symptoms of peritonsillar abscess.
Call your health care provider if you have:
Treating tonsillitis, especially bacterial tonsillitis, quickly and completely may help prevent an abscess.

Interstitial lung disease is a group of lung disorders in which the deep lung tissues become inflamed and then damaged.
Diffuse parenchymal lung disease; Alveolitis; Idiopathic pulmonary pneumonitis (IPP)
The lungs contain tiny air sacs (alveoli), which is where oxygen is absorbed. These air sacs expand with each breath.
The tissue around these air sacs is called the interstitium. In people with interstitial lung disease, this tissue becomes stiff or scarred, and the air sacs are not able to expand as much. As a result, not as much oxygen can get to the body.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can occur without a known cause. This is called idiopathic ILD. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common disease of this type.
There are also dozens of known causes of ILD, including:
Cigarette smoking may increase the risk of developing some forms of ILD and may cause the disease to be more severe.
Shortness of breath is a main symptom of interstitial lung disease. You may breathe faster or need to take deep breaths:
Most people with this condition also have a dry cough. A dry cough means you do not cough up any mucus or sputum.
Over time, weight loss, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue are also present.
People with more advanced ILD may have:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. Dry, crackling breath sounds may be heard when listening to the chest with a stethoscope.
The following tests may be done:
People who are heavily exposed to known causes of lung disease in the workplace are usually routinely screened for lung disease. These jobs include coal mining, sand blasting, and working on a ship.
Treatment depends on the cause of the disease. Drugs that suppress the immune system and reduce swelling in the lungs are prescribed if an autoimmune disease is causing the problem. For persons who have the disease from unknown cause, there is no known effective therapy.
If there is no specific treatment for the condition, the aim is to make you more comfortable and support lung function :
Lung rehabilitation can provide support, and help you learn:
Some patients with advanced ILD may need a lung transplant.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
The chance of recovering or of ILD getting worse depends on the cause and how severe the disease was when it was first diagnosed.
Some persons with ILD develop heart failure and high blood pressure in the blood vessels of their lungs.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has a poor outlook.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition in which a person has long-term patterns of unstable or turbulent emotions. These inner experiences often result in impulsive actions and chaotic relationships with other people.
Personality disorder - borderline
Cause of borderline personality disorder is unknown. Genetic, family, and social factors are thought to play roles.
Risk factors for BPD include:
This personality disorder tends to occur more often in women and among hospitalized psychiatric patients.
Persons with BPD are often uncertain about their identity. As a result, their interests and values can change rapidly. They also tend to view things in terms of extremes, such as either all good or all bad. Their views of other people can change quickly. A person who is looked up to one day may be looked down on the next day. These suddenly shifting feelings often lead to intense and unstable relationships.
Other symptoms of BPD include:
BPD is diagnosed based on a psychological evaluation that assesses the history and severity of the symptoms.
Individual talk therapy may successfully treat BPD. In addition, group therapy can sometimes be helpful.
Medications have less of a role in the treatment of BPD. But in some cases, they can improve mood swings and treat depression or other disorders that may occur with this condition.
Outlook of treatment depends on how severe the condition is and whether the person is willing to accept help. With long-term talk therapy, the person often gradually improves.
See your health care provider if you or someone you know has symptoms of borderline personality disorder. It is especially important to seek help right away if you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide.

Best Uses
Comments about Tatami New Kids Estilo Gi:
I bought this gi for my 7 year old son. It looks great and from what he says, it feels great too. The gi is fairly lightweight, but it feels like it will hold up to wear and tear. I heard some complaints about the elastic in the pants, but it is not an issue for us. The pants have a drawstring, so I think it's a great combo for younger kids training BJJ. A lot less bulk, which is more comfortable for them. We are very happy with this purchase.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A size M0 is likely the best option, per the tatami website.Q:
My son is 8 yrs old 56 inches tall aprox 73lbs. Currently has a tatami gi in M2 but the pant rise is too small now as is the over all length of the pant. The jacket fits him perfect. Wondering if we order in M3 the jacket might be too large. Any suggestions? His waist to ankle length is 84 cm but his arm span is 120 cm. should we move up to the M3?Know the answer? Answer this question
1 answer
The M3 pants have a length of 84 cm exactly so this may be a good fit for him. If the jacket is too big for now, we recommend having him wear a 'mistmatched' set until he grows into the new one.Do you have a question about this product?

The new EU Clinical Trials Regulation is expected to become applicable in 2016. The new legislation will have implications on clinical trial sponsors preparing and submitting clinical trial applications. Member States will have to adapt their procedures for the assessment of clinical trial applications by competent authorities and review by ethics committees. Additionally, the new Regulation will impact how the conduct of a clinical trial is managed after approval has been granted. New provisions for public access to an EU clinical trials database will enforce disclosure of clinical trials data and information.
This 2-day workshop will provide a forum for information exchange and discussion on conceptual and practical questions through lectures, panel discussions, and interactive break-out sessions. Day 1 will focus on the new provisions for submission, assessment and decision-making of clinical trial applications, and the management and monitoring of trials. Day 2 will focus on the new transparency provisions for clinical trials.

Collection site opening for gift-filled shoe boxes
Saturday, November 3, 2012
ROCHESTER — While most people in the U.S. are preparing for holiday activities, local volunteers with Operation Christmas Child — the world's largest Christmas project of its kind — are filling shoe box gifts with toys, school supplies and hygiene items for needy children overseas. This year-round project of international relief aid organization Samaritan's Purse, headed by Franklin Graham, is ramping up as local businesses, churches and community groups prepare to collect 1,225 gift-filled shoe boxes during National Collection Week (Nov. 12-19). |

The CAD/CAM/CAE market has been fairly stable over the past few years – we get a merger to two every few years. But over the past couple of months we've seen a couple of acquisitions. While one acquisition in a quiet market is interesting, two may be the beginnings of a trend. So I thought we could look at the recent developments from the perspective of you – the end-user of technology — and how they may or may not affect the return on your CAE investment.
Before we delve into the recent spate of mergers, I thought it might be interesting to look at the reasons why acquisitions happen in the first place. Here are a handful of reasons:
- Due to an economic downturn the market can't handle multiple vendors. So the big fish (the ones with the better cash flow and deeper pockets) manage to snap up the smaller fish. This process continues until the SEC (or another governing body) steps in. I guess we can call this the survival of the fittest.
- A company decides that it wants to strengthen its presence in a specific market or sector. This decision may be due to competitive reasons. Therefore, they acquire niche players which provide the company with the needed functionality so they could compete more effectively. Alternatively, a company notices a shift in product development trends; therefore, it acquires another product /company outside its usual market to expand or even diversify its offerings to match the trends.
- A company has grown so large that the only way it can show aggressive growth is by acquiring other companies. By adding the revenue of the acquired company to its bottomline, the company shows investors impressive growth figures.
In my opinion, the first two years after acquisition are critical. During this period, the two companies need to learn how to work with one another, merge functions, put in new processes/procedures, create new product development roadmaps etc. And unfortunately during this critical time, some companies become so focused on internal operations that they forget to take care of new sales and their customer base. This is why some companies experience a dip in revenue post acquisition – they quite simply take their eyes off the ball.
So let's now talk about the recent acquisitions.
In January, Altair announced that it was acquiring Acusim. While I can only assume _why_ specifically Altair decided to acquire Acusim, in the long run one would hope that Acusim customers will get to benefit from the pre- and postprocessing prowess of Altair and Altair customers get additional CFD functionality. And just last week Autodesk announced that it was acquiring Blue Ridge Numerics (BRNI). Autodesk has been on an acquisition path over the past few years… within the CAE sector, they have acquired Algor and Moldflow as well. Their strategy is easy to understand. They have faced stiff competition from other CAD companies which offer various integrated analysis capabilities. Therefore, they are trying to fill-in the proverbial holes so to speak. While I can only guess what their long-term plan might be, their short term plan is clear – they continue to offer each tool separately to their customer base. And if I were to hazard a guess as to their long-term plan, I would say it would consist of fully integrating all these products into one cohesive one. But the likelihood that they'll be able to deliver on this vision in the next 12 months is very small – each one of these products have their own legacy development issues so you couldn't easily mix/mash them into one product family with a single interface. Another thing that is also clear is that both these organizations, Acusim and BRNI are now facing the critical 2 year period of adjustment, reorientation and planning. So what does this mean for you?
Consolidation normally means fewer choices for the consumer. And if you end up with too few choices, some vendors could take advantage of the situation by creating a cartel and hold everyone to ransom. Knowing what I know about the CFD industry, most of the guys seem to be pretty gentlemanly. So the likelihood that prices will go through the roof is not too high. Therefore, if you're in the market to buy a CFD solution, I'd say you still have plenty of viable options out there.
If you are using either Acusim or CFDesign, you most certainly have the option of waiting to see what happens during the next couple of years. Based on my personal observation, when a company gets acquired they tend to get dissolved into the parent company. I remember back in the mid 90s when RASNA got acquired by PTC. RASNA's Mechanica was a pretty popular product and you'd see them used alongside many CAD products. But within a few short years after the acquisition, you'd be pressed to find Mechanica at sites using other CAD tools. Whether that was by design or accident, it happened. You might say, ah but Flomerics got acquired by Mentor Graphics so does that mean that FloEFD, FloTHERM and FloVENT will disappear from non Mentor sites? Well, the answer is a resounding no! We were acquired more than 2.5 years ago and thankfully the Mentor Graphics management team realized pretty early in the game that our CFD solutions can be used for a lot more than just electronics cooling. If anything, they've actively encouraged us to continue growing in all fields… not just electronics.
In short, consolidation happens. But if you're concerned or simply want to explore some of your options, give us a call at Mentor Graphics. They say there's no change without pain but you don't always need to feel pain to change for the better.
Until next time,

Last year's rookie of the year usually is tweaking his opponent's ankles. But lately he's having some trouble with his own. Evans tweaked his ankle badly enough in Team USA practice to miss the team's trip to the FIBA world championships. Then in last night's game versus the Lakers, he rolled not one, but two ankles. From the Sacramento Bee :
"I turned this one on a fast break on (Lakers guard) Steve Blake, and I twisted it," Evans said, pointing to his right ankle. "On the next one, I came down on (Lakers center) Theo Ratliff and twisted it. The left one hurts more."
Evans said it's just something he deals with his style of basketball, but three injuries inside three months is still enough to make you twist in your seat a touch. It's basketball. Ankles get rolled. It happens. But the only thing that could stop Evans on what looks like a meteoric rise to superstardom is injury, and particularly injuries to the legs that let him get to the rack so easy. Let's hope this is a blip and nothing to look back on and go "Oh."

Mark Thomas will be appearing at Eden Court Theatre Inverness on 6 April 2011 performing his show Extreme Rambling (Walking The Wall).
Mark has toured both the UK and abroad since he first started performing back in 1985 and has now made seven series of his show screened on Channel 4. Not only is Mark Thomas a comic but he has also worked as an activist and still writes his own column in the New Statesman magazine.
Despite a hectic work schedule Mark is heading North to share his unique razor sharp brands of satirical comedy and his show is not to be missed. It recounts the tale of his recent walk where he rambled in the Middle East and walked the entire length of the Israeli Separation Barrier, crossing between the Israeli and the Palestinian side. It's the story of "300 000 settlers, a 750 km wall, six arrests, one stoning, too much humuus and one simple question…Can you ever get away from it all with a good walk?"
Tickets are priced at £15 and are available from the Eden Court Box Office Website or by telephone on 01463 234 234

Note: if you want to try a easy way for testing patches without learning git check this page: Component Patchtester for Testers
The following tasks are the typical ones needed for the Testing and Tracker teams.
People who want to test Pending issues need to do the following. These same tasks apply to people who want to monitor the tracker and confirm Open issues.
Testers may or may not wish to use Git branches in their testing work. For simple testing of one issue at a time, creating local branches is not necessary. For more complex testing or for testing multiple issues at a time, it is more convenient to create a local branch for each issue. Both approaches are documented here.
In some cases, it is important to identify when a bug or issue was first introduced. With Git it is easy to restore the local repository to a prior state (for example, to a point in time in the past) and test whether the issue was present in that version. This process is also documented here.
Testers do not need to create a remote repository on Github. They can simply create a local clone of the CMS trunk on their local test machine. This clone will allow them to easily keep up with changes made to the CMS trunk.
The steps for this process are shown below, first using the command-line-interface (CLI) for Git and then using Eclipse and eGit.
).git clone git://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms.git
. The system will work for a few minutes, copying the entire remote repository to your local system. When you are done, you will have a local copy of the Joomla CMS repository in the current directory, along with a git repository (in the .git subdirectory). Note that this URL points to the joomla-cms project on Github. This project becomes the remote origin for the local git repository. For example, the command git remote -v
will now list origin as follows:git remote -v origin git://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms.git (fetch) origin git://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms.git (push)
The first time you clone the Joomla CMS repository on Github, you will have the latest version of trunk. However, the trunk changes frequently, as bugs are fixed and new features added. This means that you need to keep your local repository up to date with these changes, for example each day when you start working.
git checkout master
git pull origin
$ git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
There is a confusing aspect of working with patches between SVN, Eclipse, Git and the CLI. This has to do with the way files are referenced inside a patch. Most patches made with Eclipse and Git will have a leading "a/" and "b/" in front of the file names. For example, a standard Git patch will look like this:
diff --git a/components/com_content/controller.php b/components/com_content/controller.php index 53cc63a..25cee76 100644 --- a/components/com_content/controller.php +++ b/components/com_content/controller.php
However, patches made with SVN or using the "--no-prefix" option in Git will omit the leading "a/" and "b/" and show in the following format:
diff --git components/com_content/controller.php components/com_content/controller.php index 53cc63a..ba2de80 100644 --- components/com_content/controller.php +++ components/com_content/controller.php
Most patches will be in the first format. It is easy to apply patches in either format, but the exact commands are different. These are outlined below.
In some cases, patches made using Eclipse may not apply correctly using the CLI "apply" command. For example, you might get an error: fatal: corrupt patch at line xxx
. This appears to be caused by the fact that Eclipse does not add a blank line to the end of the patch file. If you have this problem, try adding a blank line at the end of the patch file.
This can be done either with or without using branches. If you want to work on one patch at a time (similar to the SVN work flow), you can follow this work flow without branches.
git apply <file>
. For example: git apply mypatchfile.patch
.git apply -p0 <file>
. For example: git apply -p0 mypatchfile.patch.
At this point, the proposed code changes have been made to your Joomla files. Now you can test the proposed changes to see whether they work correctly.
To apply a Github pull request, add ".diff" to the end of the pull request URL. For example:
This will display a Git-formatted patch file in your browser. Save this file to your local machine and use the command above to apply it.
Note: If a red "X" appears next to a file, it means the patch will not apply correctly. Check the patch file format to make sure you have the right setting for this type. Also, make sure you haven't already applied the patch.
This 1 minute video shows how a .patch file is downloaded and added to your current PHPStorm project:
In many cases, it can be easier to create a Git branch for each issue you are working on. This way you can be working on several issues at one time while keeping the code changes for each issue separated. Creating branches in Git is very easy. Here is the work flow for applying patches using branches.
git branch issue-123
(creates a new branch called issue-123).commit -a
. Now git will open the editor you chose when you installed git. Enter the commit message in the first line of the editor and save and exit. (If you are unfamiliar with the editor, you can either change the editor or use Eclipse, which bypasses this step in the process.) The commit message should be something short that tells you what you did, for example "Applied patch 123.patch").git checkout master
. To switch back to the modified version, use the command: git checkout issue-123
.If you are not using branches, when you are done testing an issue, you will need to restore your programs to the original unmodified state. Note that this is not needed if you are using branches.
git reset --hard origin/master
. If it doesn't work, you can use git apply -R <file>
to the state before the patch was applied. For example, git apply -R folder/file.diff
.git clean -f -d
If you use branches, it is much easier to switch back to the unmodified programs. You simply change back to the master branch. Once you are done with an issue, you will likely want to delete the branch you created. Here are the commands for that.
git checkout master
git branch -D issue-123
(where issue-123 is the branch name)At times, it is helpful to figure out which commit might have introduced a new issue. With Git it is easy to restore the code base to any point in time and then test whether an issue was present or not. Note that this is more difficult with the CLI version.
git log --since="2 weeks ago" --mylogfile.txt
git checkout <id>
(for example: git checkout ba574af0
).This view shows every commit to the CMS repository. To restore your local files to a prior time, right click on the desired row in the history view and select Checkout. Your local files will be changed to the state as of that commit. You can now test that version.

At first glance, using recycled-content building products seems like a win-win proposition. Diverting waste from landfills is a noble deed, and saving natural resources is equally commendable. No wonder green advocates push this specification strategy.
"The materials in our recycling bins ... are the raw materials for recycled-content products," argues the Santa Cruz, Calif.–based nonprofit environmental group Ecology Action. Incorporating recycled-content building materials, the group says, reduces waste, and helps eliminate pollution.
The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery's economic argument says that buying these products begets markets for the collected materials that are used to manufacture new products, which creates jobs and strengthens the economy. Even LEED for Homes, in section MR 2.2, advocates products containing recycled content.
check sources
But like most choices associated with sustainable building, the issue of using products derived from waste is murky. All recycled-content products aren't created equal: A product might be made from waste, but it might have off-gassing properties or it may require more maintenance. As a result, architects must spec carefully.
Even architects with a known affinity for sustainable design and products view the current marketplace with wariness. "Recycled-content products are a very small part of my work," says Jeff Sties, AIA, LEED AP, principal of SUNBIOSIS in Charlottesville, Va. Sties, a former materials researcher for William McDonough + Partners, says the market for such products is better than it used to be but he believes more needs doing. Frankly, he adds, "There aren't a lot of products that I consider to be good enough."
Eric Corey Freed, LEED AP, principal of organicARCHITECT in San Francisco and Palm Springs, Calif., tends to agree. "This might surprise people, but using recycled-content products is pretty low on my priority list" when doing a house, he says. The approach sounds good in theory, he explains, but may not always be viable in practice. "There's a disconnect between what's advocated and what's best, and it comes from wanting to promote green products," he explains. "Oftentimes we are putting things in our houses we shouldn't be or recycling things that shouldn't be recycled." As an example, Freed points to flooring that's made from vulcanized rubber or recycled-waste tires. "It's fine for outdoor use, but it shouldn't be used inside because of air quality issues."
Indoor pollution is a major concern for the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute, an industry-independent nonprofit that establishes acceptable standards for building materials and other products. According to founder Marilyn Black, LEED AP, the institute isn't fully convinced of the merits of some of the products being marketed as recycled. "While we fully support efforts to use products made from recycled content, it's critical that we evaluate and understand the potential health impacts of these products before using them," she says. Flyash is but one example. Used in concrete, flyash is widely believed to be safe because it's "locked" into the cured concrete. But it should not be used in drywall or ceiling tiles, the group says, because the heavy metals in the ash could be released into the indoor air in the form of dust.
AMD Architecture principal Angela M. Dean, AIA, LEED AP, definitely considers her client's health when she specs products, but she says other issues—durability, life cycle cost, environmental impact—come into play as well. "We typically place recycled products higher on the list than non-recycled, but only if they meet the previous criteria," the Salt Lake City–based architect explains.
Doug Graybeal, AIA, principal of Graybeal Architects in Carbondale, Colo., also takes a holistic approach to his material decisions. He considers recycled-content products in his equation, but other factors take priority. "We're always looking at salvaged, reclaimed, recycled-content, and recyclable materials, but we also look at whether or not it's recycled at the same level at the end of its life," he says. Material comparisons also must consider factors such as "what kinds of chemicals are included in the content," he adds.

Attorney wants Charlotte council cited in tax move
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, April 2, 2013
CHARLOTTE (AP) — A Charlotte attorney wants a judge to find the city council in contempt of court for its decision behind closed doors to support a tax hike to pay for improvements at the home of the Carolina Panthers.
The Charlotte Observer reports that Paul Whitfield planned to file a motion in Mecklenburg County Superior Court Tuesday, also asking a judge to fine the city $1.4 million for violating the state's Open Meetings Law.
Charlotte City Council voted 7-2 in a closed meeting in January to increase the tax on prepared food and beverages from 1 percent to 2 percent. That would have provided $144 million of the $300 million that the Panthers say are needed to make improvements to Bank of America Stadium.
There's been no comment from city officials.

Narayanan This auto parts company has just ousted its longtime CEO and founder, and the new, professional CEO is badly in need of a coherent strategy, clear objectives and metrics, and initiatives that are aligned with the strategy and objectives. Will the balanced scorecard approach help his leadership team create an action plan that makes sense for the company's strategy?

Simulation | June 2014 Balanced Scorecard Simulation V.G. Narayanan In this multi-player simulation, students experience the benefits and challenges of using a scorecard to implement strategic initiatives and monitor firm performance. Small teams of students work together to choose a strategy for their company, create a strategy map, develop a balanced scorecard, choose initiatives to implement their strategy, and use feedback from the balanced scorecard to adjust their implementation approach over a series of 8 rounds. At the conclusion of the simulation, each team's company will be purchased by a private investor. The goal of the simulation is to maximize firm value at the time of buyout-the buyout price being based on the company's financial position and future prospects. Strategy Simulation: The Balanced Scorecard is designed as a multi-player experience but can also be played as a single-player. Instructors have the option of allowing students to play practice rounds and assigning certain teams to a "control group." The simulation debrief section provides key statistics and visuals that summarize student performance. Citation:Narayanan, V.G. "Balanced Scorecard Simulation."

Tiger men's soccer picks up fifth straight win
By The Hays Daily News
The Fort Hays State University men's soccer team turned in a 3-0 victory against Newman University on Sunday at FHSU Soccer Stadium.

Cabral's goal came in the first half, while the other two were scored after intermission.
The Tigers are on the road this week, playing at 7 p.m. Thursday in MIAA play at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Okla.

Jim Woodring Interview on The Stranger | |
Written by Sonia Lei | Filed under The Stranger, Jim Woodring, interviews, events | 4 Sep 2014 10:30 AM |
Paul Constant over at The Stranger has an excellent write-up on Jim Woodring's new "Notorious Autojournal", Jim:
Jim is a brand-new collection of Woodring's earliest comics work, which was originally produced as zines in the early 1980s until Fantagraphics cofounder Gary Groth fell in love with his work and became his lifelong publisher. This isn't a stack of embarrassing juvenalia; the quality of work is very high, but if you stare at the pages for a while, you'll notice a bit of uncharacteristic uncertainty resonating through the ink. In an interview with Woodring, he admits that "it is hard to go back to your old work," but he's overall "thrilled" to review his earliest comics. "I was stunned by how authentic [the work in Jim] is to me today," he says. The book "had this symbolic power, and I can feel it rising up in me again" while reading it. Keen eyes can spot a faulty bit of crosshatched shading, or a messy silhouette that Woodring would never sign his name to now, but for the most part, this is fully realized work produced by the hand of a man who is entirely confident about what he's trying to communicate.
And don't forget that the man himself will be signing books at the University Bookstore in Seattle TONIGHT at 7PM.

Why do I have to come for radiation every day for weeks? I have heard about some radiation for breast cancer that is done in only 5 days- what is that and is it just as good?
Gary Freedman, MD, Radiation Oncologist at Penn , responds:
The purpose of delivering radiation therapy in a relatively small dose once a day for about 6 weeks is to be effective at killing cancer cells but also protecting normal tissue. Delivering 1 large treatment could kill cancer cells but normal breast tissue cells equally well. The science behind it is that cancer cells being abnormal do not repair as well as normal cells, so that giving a small dose daily allows for better healing of the normal tissue. Our goal is long-term excellent cosmetic results as well as cancer control.
The newer technique of Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation given twice a day for only 1 week in a larger daily dose given to a smaller area of the breast - instead of treating the whole breast like conventional 6-week treatment, only the small area around the lumpectomy site with a margin is treated. This one-week form of radiation is available to women with very small, favorable, early stage breast cancers. Not all women are eligible. And clinical trials are ongoing in the U.S., Europe and Canada to see if the long-term breast control rates are the same with 1 week as 6 weeks in carefully chosen patients.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat. Series, View the Life After Breast Cancer transcript.
Aug 27, 2012 - Accelerated partial breast irradiation yields five-year clinical outcomes and patterns of failure similar to those achieved with whole breast irradiation, with excellent three-year survival for women who develop an ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence, according to a study published in the Sept. 1 issue of Cancer.

Conroy was an excellent defensive center for us, and it sucked watching him score even more when put on a top line in Calgary. It seems like McClement has become a great replacement for him though. Similar size center, plays a great shut-down role, but it still a threat to score, and puts up similar numbers to Conroy when he was in St. Louis. Will he end up being as popular with the fans as Conroy was? I wouldn't doubt it, although he has to live in the shadow of Oshie, Perron, and other flashy young guns.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Since HPV is a skin to skin...if I have HPV can I give it my children when I kiss them?
Harry Quon, MD, MS (CRM), Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The HPV virus seems to need some break in the mucosa for it to start the infection. This mucosal abrasion or break typically occurs during sexual intercourse and is not a concern during kissing.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series, How Much Do You Know About HPV? View the entire transcript here.
Feb 21, 2013 - A fluorescent compound can help localize the spread of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme during surgery, according to a case report published online Feb. 20 in the Journal of Neurosurgery.

Xanthoma is a skin condition in which certain fats build up under the surface of the skin.
Skin growths - fatty; Xanthelasma
Xanthomas are common, especially among older adults and people with high blood lipids .
Xanthomas vary in size. Some are very small. Others are bigger than 3 inches in diameter. They appear anywhere on the body, but are most often seen on the elbows, joints, tendons, knees, hands, feet, or buttocks.
Xanthomas may be a sign of a medical condition that involves an increase in blood lipids. Such conditions include:
Xanthelasma palpebra, a common type of xanthoma that appears on the eyelids and may occur without any underlying medical condition, is not necessarily associated with elevated cholesterol or lipids.
A xanthoma looks like a yellow to orange bump (papule) with defined borders.
Your health care provider will examine the skin. Usually, a diagnosis of xanthoma can be made by looking at your skin. A biopsy of the growth will show a fatty deposit.
You may have blood tests done to check lipid levels, liver function, and for diabetes.
If you have a disease that causes increased blood lipids, treating the condition may help reduce the development of xanthomas.
If the growth bothers you, your doctor may remove it. But xanthomas may come back after surgery.
The growth is non-cancerous and painless, but may be a sign of another medical condition.
Call your health care provider if xanthomas develop. They may indicate an underlying disorder that needs treatment.
Control of blood lipids, including triglycerides and cholesterol levels, may help reduce development of xanthomas.

New tax increases on the way
Don't you folks out there think we have had enough of being overtaxed year after year for the benefit of the good old boys and girls running our city? Why do we have to keep paying more and more when the city does nothing to cut costs? If the state adopts this proposed budget, then every Sanford department should be told to make cuts to offset any related tax increase. Hate to keep reminding you, but the new charter gives them the right to do what they want — not what is good for the people.
I am sure they are quite knowledgeable and capable in their own fields, but for a city budget committee? I also have concern with the process of choosing the applicants, as none were interviewed. I can't say that I ever saw anyone hired for any position without a personal interview. Well, it goes to show you that adopting the new City Charter did in fact give the council the right to do just about anything it pleases.
It is time for all Sanford taxpayers to contact the city councilors and tell them we need some tax relief and to stop pushing for things we don't need. Lets see how the two new former school committee people — who, by the way, were chosen by two current school committee people — work to cut costs on the school department's budget. I bet I can guess. Talk about conflict of interests.
Yet, the Governor sees fit to slash the school budget and municipal revenue sharing, and compounds this by diverting the casino revenues earmarked for schools and hospitals to fill the gap in the general budget left by his tax breaks to the wealthy.
Some senators were in discussion with him on his budget proposal and their proposal when suddenly he ended it with a tirade.
Let the tirades end, the vitriol evaporate, and the hostility and frustration give way to meaningful legislation and agreement. Both sides of the aisle need to realize that governance through compromise, with the amicable participation of the governor, is the true will of the people, by the people, and for the people.
To be completely honest, I had a lot of things running through my mind — one being, "Who is this stranger and what is the scheme going on here?" and another being, "What's hidden in the wrapping paper — should I be worried?" I told myself to stop being so paranoid. Not surprising, it wasn't anything bad. It turned out to be a sealed pack of Dora The Explorer frisbees. I was stunned at the kind gesture and what a good lesson to be teaching a young child. I was also stunned at myself, stunned for letting myself to be swallowed into the paranoia of questioning the kindness of strangers. There are good people out there, but they always seem to be overshadowed by reports of abductions, shootings, and other horrible crimes. It's sad that we, as a society, have come to this point of being distrustful of others, and when a kind act is made, we look for the hidden agenda.
I would like to thank the volunteers at our local collection sites and all those who packed an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift. For many of the children who receive these gifts, this shoe box will be the first gift they have ever received. |

Silent Hill: Book Of Memories (PlayStation Vita) PS Vita 4 New from £19.99 Free delivery Available used from £12.19
1 Massive let downPosted: 13/11/2012I am a huge fan of silent hill so i am a bit gutted to be writing this.I understand that after so many silent hill games that a change might be needed but not this much of a change. It really is a terrible game with some of the most ridiculous changes i have ever seen to any game in my life. All of the scare factor and tension you felt playing the games has gone and instead your left with a game you would expect to see as an i pod app rather than a game.Its a complete disaster and i would strongly urge everyone to avoid this game. The vita is capable of so much but games like this are letting it down.

Since this quilt is staying at the store, I just used a solid back - but a fun print from the Snippets collection. I'm not sure yet how I'll put mine together. We'll just have to wait and see!
Since the whole quilt was made from one fabric collection I added this little piece of selvage. I kind of like the effect.

OHHH the HUMANITY of these CHEATERS!
