The researchers set out to evaluate, via a clinical investigation of already published work, whether adding amifostine to radiation therapy would prevent common side effects, such as mouth dryness, difficulty swallowing, lung inflammation, bladder inflammation, problems with the esophagus and inflammation of the mucous membranes. In some cases, these side effects can be severe enough that the patients' treatment has to be suspended or stopped completely � potentially preventing their cancer from being completely cured. The other major purpose of the study was to discover if amifostine would inadvertently protect the tumor from radiation.
The investigators narrowed their research to 14 randomized, controlled trials in which 1,451 patients were split into two groups: one receiving radiation therapy alone and the second receiving radiation therapy in addition to amifostine. Patients taking amifostine were shown to have less radiation-related side effects. The research also showed that the drug did not protect the tumor from the radiation therapy and patients receiving the drug were more likely to have their cancer affected by the radiation than patients not given amifostine.
Taking amifostine does have some drawbacks, with nausea and vomiting being the most common side effects reported. However, the doctors generally were able to control the side effects with anti-nausea medicine.
"Our research shows that adding amifostine to radiation therapy helps reduce side effects while at the same time making the radiation treatments more effective at killing the cancer cells," said Andre Deeke Sasse, M.D., a radiation oncologist at Nucleo Brasileiro de Oncologia Baseada em Evidencias in Sao Paolo, Brazil. "We recommend that patients undergoing radiation therapy for cancer ask their doctor about adding amifostine to their treatment."
For more information on radiation therapy for cancer, please visit www.rtanswers.org.
To arrange an interview with Dr. Sasse or for a copy of "Amifostine Reduces Side Effects and Improves Complete Response Rate During Radiotherapy: Results of a Meta-Analysis," please contact Nick Lashinsky at email@example.com or 1-800-962-7876.
ASTRO is the largest radiation oncology society in the world, with more than 8,500 members who specialize in treating patients with radiation therapies. As the leading organization in radiation oncology, biology and physics, the Society is dedicated to the advancement of the practice of radiation oncology by promoting excellence in patient care, providing opportunities for educational and professional development, promoting research and disseminating research results and representing radiation oncology in a rapidly evolving healthcare environment.

Yes, I have donated blood and I have received blood that was donated by someone. Every pint saves a life.
I'm donating blood for more than 25 years ...
Sometime blood transfusion go very wrong. I know.
Not only "would I", but I have often given blood, both for family members who were going into surgery (and need to have blood replenished with clean and disease free plasma), AND to blood drives that will help save the lives of complete strangers.

Cheers,

AnonymousButCandid -- Type A positive
Of course. I've tried to donate before but they refused to take it saying I didn't weigh enough. Ridiculous! I'm little and am in proportion for my height. A 6' model could weigh a little more than I do but would be accepted and yet she would be underweight. Grrrr
haha I don't really want to have to do that. lol
If there was a dire need of my type at the moment, I would. But I don't go out of my way to do blood drives really since I get all woozy and fainty afterwards.
I have several times in the past, can't now because of the medications I'm on.
No. Its not my job, it should be gods job.
Johovah's Witness?
What about them?
Sorry, nothing. I just presumed you were by the way you answered. None of my business. :-)
Yeah why not?
Yeah I dont see why not.
I have before, and would again if I was healthy enough.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Gene therapy is medicine?s rising star with adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors ? nonpathogenic parvoviruses ? among the most promising supporting actors, due largely to their capability to integrate into transcriptionally silent genomic regions (areas that do not, via RNA polymerases, make a messenger RNA copy of DNA-stored genetic information). That being said, there?s been a downside in assembling AAV vectors into adenoviral (Ad) viral backbones, which are used extensively in genetic research and therapy: They rely on replication (Rep) proteins ? in this study, the Rep 78/68 polypeptide ? which limit viral amplification methodologies.

There is much to see and do when you go on a Minnesota vacation.
In the winter months the twin cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis come alive with snow festivals and Christmas events. The twin cities are filled with luxurious hotel accommodations, delicious restaurants, shopping spots and concert venues. For you art lovers visit the World Class Modern Art Museum or the Walker Art Center during your Minnesota travels. If you are looking for a more nature oriented experience, be sure to tour the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory. In the summer visitors are drawn to the many Minnesota state parks and the boating, fishing and swimming in Lake Superior. Finally, don't forget to visit the Mall of America, the nation's largest mall and a popular American shopping destination!
On your Minnesota vacation be sure to explore the Boundary Water Canoe Area, a wilderness preserve that offers guided tours and boat rides. Also check out the local art or folk music festivals in the area. Plan a trip to Minnesota for your next family vacation or weekend getaway; you'll be glad you did!

The basis of a good story is centered on good characters, and just because Lego minifigures are plastic doesn't mean that their personality has to be plastic. As Lego has progressed, so have the characters. You are only limited by your imagination in terms of creating memorable Brickfilm movie characters – so be bold!
Lego minifigures were first released in 1978 but were much different than they are today. Since then, Lego has added faces, accessories, facial hair, clothes, hair, hats, helmets, [read more →]

5 a brilliant example of gothic fictiontonysgirl | 16/11/2010 | See all tonysgirl's reviews (1)i was a bit wary of stepping out of my twilight bubble at first but im so glad i did :) i absolutely loved this book and have moved onto torment and will pre-order passion when its available. its a brilliant story that kept me intrigued throughout and desperate to continue.
5 Hooked!bethwales | 22/06/2011 | See all bethwales's reviews (9)I was looking for a new book and the storyline sounded promising so I gave it a go, I am so glad I did. I was hooked straight away and could not put it down, it created as many questions as it did answers and I can't wait for the following books :)
5 Couldn't put it downgembie | 15/07/2010 | See all gembie's reviews (1)I'm 24 have become hooked on the whole twilight/vampire diaries books and after looking at reviews decided to give this book a try. Am very glad I did... couldn't put it down and finished it in 2days. can't wait for the next book to come out!!
1 How?ChrissieWeekends | 13/06/2011 | See all ChrissieWeekends's reviews (5)I really wanted to like this book, the storyline sounded promising, the characters had the potential to create a whole load of intrigue, and I was hooked for the first few pages thinking that the book was going to be amazing. It wasn't. It wasn't even okay.I forced myself through every page hoping something would change but it didn't, nothing was revealed, there was no suspense and all in all was badly written. The characters were shallow, the details were hazy and I found it hard to pick back up again once I'd put it down. The twilight books were badly written but at least I could read them without getting so frustrated with every sentence.To be honest I'm surprised this book was published. Like I said, the idea for the story was quite good, if only somone else had written it, I'll hold out for the film as they might be able to do a decent job with this.Usually I will always finish the trilogy or series but for the first time I will not be reading the next few books, I just couldn't bear it.
5 Brill!Clairey1987 | 06/07/2011 | See all Clairey1987's reviews (3)Loved this book! Such a good story line and characters... the suspense in this book builds up perfectly to allow it to have follow ons.. If you like the whole Twilight/Vampire Diaries feel then you will love this one as its not vampires for once!!

Israel vows to punish Hamas after wave of rockets from Gaza
Published on Oct 25, 2012 8:19 AM
GAZA CITY (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - Israel vowed to punish Hamas militants after scores of rockets fired from Gaza seriously wounded two people, provoking air strikes that killed four Palestinian militants.
On the Palestinian side, one source speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP that a truce negotiated with the help of Egypt had come into force from midnight (6am Thurs Spore time).
But it came after a bloody 24 hours and bellicose statements from both sides.
From late Tuesday Israeli warplanes launched air raids on Gaza in response to rocket fire that seriously wounded two Thai workers inside Israel. The air strikes killed four Palestinian militants.

With the rising costs of providing school meals, the Macon County School system recently approved another increase to the cost of school lunches. While the price has risen steadily over the last couple of years due to the increase in cost of goods that meet federal guidelines under the Healthy Hunger- Free Kids Act, there seems to be no end in sight.
The latest increase came at a cost of 10 cents, which brings elementary students' meal costs to $2.35 and secondary students to $2.55.
"As part of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, it says that our average lunch prices have to be compared to the reimbursement rates and using the formula provided, it says that we have to raise our prices by 10 cents," Kim Terrell, child nutrition director for Macon County Schools, told the school board during its meeting last week.

Ooh, yes, Phil: I'd forgotten that one, and the books are about a meter away from where I'm sat!
And yes, there was a long publishing gap towards the end of the series, and an ending that just wasn't great...
But the first few are good.
I'm sure I was told recently that the Chung Kuo series was about due a republishing.

Stargate's Atlantis is definitely one of my favorite megacities. As for here on earth, BosWash will most likely be one of the coolest megalopolises in the next 100 years.

Is it similar to William Gibson's the Sprawl?
July 30th, 2009, 02:53 AM #36
August 28th, 2009, 09:39 PM #37
I suggest the manga/visual novels of Tsutomu Nihei.
His most well known and popular goes by the name BLAME! It revolves around a character called Killy and his journeys through a massive structural labyrinth devoid of nearly any organic life. The story is set in the far future, where the human world has been destroyed. Robotic 'Constructors' began to build an endless, purposeless structure that expanded from Earth without any control or limits. Killy sets out in attempts to bring understanding to the world around him, and deal with the 'Silicon' lifeforms out to destroy any form of human life for their genetic material.
BLAME! is followed by a series of other publications. BLAME!² is a short 16 page manga, NOiSE is the prequel, and NSE: Net Sphere Engineer, a sequel to BLAME!
Nihei has also released a few other works, most notably Abara, which is very similar in setting to BLAME! It involves some police like characters and some creatures that can fashion armor around themselves by transforming. Biomega is another manga series by the author, focusing on some guy and a motorcycle, while still sharing the empty, bleak concrete urban settings seen in BLAME!
Overall he's a very abstract artist. His manga isn't really manga, as they span hundreds of pages with hardly any dialogue. Even if you're not a fan of manga these are definitely worth picking up as the setting and art alone creates a wicked atmosphere for the reader.
Another recommendation is the film Angel's Egg from 1985 by Mamoru Oshii. While sci-fi, it's highly surrealistic and abstract, set in a massive, ancient city, possibly while the sun is nearing the end of its life. A little girl spends her days collecting bottles and water, wandering around her surroundings. A man arrives outside the city in a ship. The two meet and little dialogue is exchanged. Much of the scenery is of the introverted wanderings of the two. In fact, the film is highly abstruse and is hard to describe without revealing the 'plot', but it's definitely an awesome visual experience.Last edited by creemore; August 28th, 2009 at 09:50 PM.

X/OS Linux 5.0 – Almost RHEL5
Two in one: the RHEL clone, X/OS Linux, combines the server and client variants of Suse Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Version 5.0 has just been released.
The RHEL clone includes all Red Hat updates up to August 7. Yum version 3.2.1 was taken from RHEL 5.1 Beta. The installation routine now has package selection options. It is also possible to integrate all of RHEL5's server and client repositories or to opt for specific ones. During the install, you need to specify the "askkey" boot option for this. The author's website has more detail.
The distribution does not include the full set of Red Hat Network packages. The author has modified some package names and dependencies, and also removed various bugs, he claims. Known bugs with Bugzilla ticket numbers are referenced in the changelog. The changes to the previous version X/OS Linux 4 reflect the changes introduced by Red Hat when it moved to version 5.0. For example, X/OS Linux 5 now longer supports Apt or Synaptic based package management, but now relies entirely on Yum, Pirut or Pup.
X/OS 5.0 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are more or less identical, as X/OS was built from Red Hat's GPL'd source packages. This is why the author also refers users to the Red Hat Release Notes for further information. The only differences relate to some package names, and dependency changes introduced by the author. Above all, the author has removed Red Hat logos and trademarks: he points out that X/OS Linux is not manufactured, supported or maintained by Red Hat. X/OS is designed for enterprise deployment, just like RHEL.

Hi Jordi, did you night on shore?
Jordi Oct 20, 2007
Actually no :-) we leaved Hoonah harbor with a boat and our kayaks and went until the last 2-3 nautical miles of the trip. There we started to paddle for some hours and returned back by boat. That particular area is breathtaking and Alaska is simply one of the most beautiful places in the World that remain authentic.

Also I do want to encourage people to post their opinions on this/poke holes in the theory if they find them!
One thing is that he likes playing up his evilness, coming from his quotes. He sounds almost cynical and sarcastic in certain lines. Pentakill is also a factor we have to take in. It IS canon, but I don't think he's got a sinister plan behind it. Frankly, call it silly, but I do think that Mordekaiser, Yorick, and Karthus genuinely enjoy being in Pentakill. Mordekaiser seems to have some sort of affinity with music, and Yorick and Karthus, being veteran undead, might not have heard music in so long that they've forgotten what it's like until reintroduced by Sona. Not even sure if that said anything worthwhile, looking back on it...
Junior Member
It's almost as if Lewpaka is in a country where he can't play LoL, so instead, he is coming up with some of the most brilliant lore theories I have ever seen.
I'm sure it doesn't mean much, but when you view Karthus using requiem under the abilities section of selecting his character, he's using it on Ryze.
I don't think Karthus is really a villain or has malicious intent, because Lorewise his Requiem may very well be the strongest ability possessed by anyone in Valoran, and he is immortal, so if he wanted to he could easily take over all of Valoran. It's not like he's being secretive about it either, he's a public figure in the League. The most evidence we have for Karthus being evil is how defensive he is of the Howling Marshes, to the point of slaying those who try to enter it. But why? There's something in there that Karthus wants to protect. It's not himself, he's immortal. But could it be more of the same apocalyptic magic that Ryze recovered from inside? It makes sense, as if someone with malicious intent (Like Malzahar, who Karthus helped Kassadin battle near his home) claimed it, they would be absolutely unstoppable, and he cannot take chances. Imagine magic like what Ryze has in his scroll in the hands of someone like Nocturne, Malzahar, or Shaco! Also notable is the title of the ability, "Requiem". Requiem for what? In one of the JoJ's, Karthus states: "In life, there was one worth singing for forever. I have kept my promise, though to some now the song is not as lovely as it was once meant to be." Call this crazy, but maybe Karthus and Lillith were romantically involved. Why else would he visit the Howling Marshes while still alive? His song was written for her, which is why she had it when Ryze encountered her and stole it. He died withing the marshes, which leads me to believe one of a few things: 1. Karthus, upon discovering Lillith's true nature and desire to destroy the world, was forced to kill her, and then killed himself. 2. Lillith killed Karthus, but his spirit remained as a Lich so that he wouldn't have to leave her, but he now realizes how foolish that was.
Maybe karthus's phylactery is under the marsh?
I don't think the scroll destroys everything with a giant blast...but it opens the void upon all of Valoran. So it could be possible Karthus trusted Lillith to take the Scroll and keep it secret and defend it. while he went off and raised an army of undead by killing anyone who went into the swamp, which would be used to further protect the Scroll. But one day Kassadin came to Karthus warning him of the Void and Malzahar's coming. Karthus and Kassidin fight off Malzahar ,but Malzahar knows where the scroll is since he is the Prophet of the Void and is able to infect the mind of lillith, making her crazy and want to use the scroll. Ryze seeing this takes the scroll and flees locking it away with his magic. He ends up at the League of legends Where Malzahar has tracked him to. While Karthus and Kassadin have gone to the league to make sure Malzahar doesn't get it. But Malzahar has Cho' Gath there. Possibly Malzahar even Made Shaco twisted and may use him to assasinate ryze so the scroll can finally be used to to open the Void. Maybe? If I had to guess this is what it would be...This explains how a lot of people got into the league who say they came in for no reasons(don't judge/hate/bash me I don't know anything...beleive what you want to beleive.)
I don't think anyone knows what's on the scroll, but it supposedly has great power, so that's why they're not messing with it. I love how everyone assumes it's a scroll that will bring about an end of the world, but that makes no sense. Every spell needs to be tested; you can't just say 'oh, this combination of words makes this happen no matter what,' because then it wouldn't really be...magic, would it? So, the words on that scroll, while definitely very very powerful, will not end the world, because then the world would have ended. Maybe it would give the power TO end the world. We already see an example of it when Ryze uses his ultimate, because his ultimate's name is 'Forbidden Power,' which hints that he's using the scroll to cast it, or at least part of it. So, in small doses, it causes one's spells to heal oneself and destroy everything around what they hit...in full quantities, it would probably cause the AoE of the spells to become massive, maybe even the size of a city, and anyone that would try to kill the mage would have a very hard time, because they would heal themselves completely by casting a simple fireball.
His Ultimate's name is Desperate Power...:O

But there is one problem, on the admin plugin page, the plugin code is displayed in the "plugin" "description" and "version" columns. The plugins still function as normal, they are just displaying tons of code on the admin page. I have deactivated them, no luck. I deinstalled them, the reinstalled them, no luck.
Any suggestions.

Public Participation Guide: Tools for Consensus Building and Agreement Seeking
Tools for consensus building include techniques that you can use to bring diverse groups of stakeholders together to engage in shared learning and decision making. These tools are only applicable to the collaborate and empower levels of public participation.
Consensus building is a process and cannot be done quickly. In general, any consensus-building effort requires a consistent set of participants who work together over the duration of the process. It is important for the participants to work and learn together, developing the relationships essential to reaching agreement. This is not possible if participation is not stable. Consensus-building in low-trust situations will take even longer as participants must first develop the trust needed to work together constructively, which is a precursor to reaching agreement.
Consensus building requires that people meet face-to-face. While some activities can occur remotely at points during the process (especially through internet-based video, voice, and document sharing), initial relationship-building and key agreement seeking will require in-person meetings.
Many of the tools to inform and for generating and obtaining input can be used as components of a consensus building process to educate participants, generate dialogue, and identify common ground.
Tool | # of Participants | Best Suited for |
Consensus workshops | Up to hundreds | Smaller, less controversial decisions or identifying shared values |
Advisory boards and similar groups | Small groups (25 or fewer) | Long-term and compex processes |
Computer-assisted processes | Large | Decisions that can be well defined into small segments and do not require stakeholders to get to know each other |
Citizen juries | Limited, generally around 12 | Decisions that can be organized into clear options |
When designing a consensus process, consider the following questions:
- Who needs to be included for the final consensus to be legitimate?
- Are all key interests willing and able to participate?
- Are there trust or other issues that must be addressed before the process can begin?
- What are the key decisions that must be made to achieve overall consensus?
- What information is necessary for all parties to understand in order to build a viable consensus?
- If the consensus process is not binding, to what degree are decision-makers willing and committed to considering the outcome of the consensus process?

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
If you examine the discography of any band that's been on the scene for a long time, you can usually point to a particular album that marked a change in direction or artistic style for the band. So it is with one of America's most enduring groups, The Eagles--with the release of the classic Hotel California in 1976, The Eagles reached a musical milestone in the truest sense of the word. The California country-rock style that was featured in their earlier music was no longer the focus of the group--they opted for a harder, edgier form of rock 'n roll that tended to address contemporary subjects. Another reason for the change is a personnel shift--Joe Walsh joined the group for Hotel California, and both Randy Meisner and Don Felder would depart shortly thereafter, with Timothy B. Schmit taking over bass and vocal chores. The addition of these new members added to the change in artistic style that began with Hotel California. Greatest Hits--Volume 2 is a collection of the best music of The Eagles after their transformation from California country-rock players to authentic rock 'n roll stars. Pehaps it's fitting that this collection is loaded with songs from Hotel California, watershed album that it was--four of the ten tracks are taken from this album, and all of the tracks are representative of the musical philosophy of the transmogrified band that The Eagles were to become. Hotel California is one of the most haunting, surreal tunes that you'd ever want to hear, while Life In The Fast Lane addresses the lifestyle of the rich, famous and cocaine-addicted people in southern California. Heartache Tonight and Seven Bridges Road demonstrate that The Eagles didn't completely forget their roots, while The Sad Cafe and After The Thrill Is Gone are maudlin efforts that tug at the heartstrings. The Eagles never rock harder than they do in the sensual Victim Of Love with its' nasty slide guitar, and The Long Run is the title song from one of their most popular albums after the personnel changes were completed. I Can't Tell You Why features beautiful vocals by Timothy B. Schmit, and New Kid In Town is a truly thrilling arrangement that displays the ensemble singing talents of these sublime musicians. Anyone who is a fan of The Eagles probably has all these tunes in his or her collection. If you do buy this album, be sure to purchase the first volume also--by comparing the two, I think you'll see what I'm talking about when I say that the significance of the album Hotel California on the career of this band can't be de-emphasized. As always, thanks for taking the time to read this article.

Buenos Aires Pizzeria
Not surprisingly, Buenos Aires Pizzeria is best known for its South American pizzas and, to a lesser extent, its fantastic spread of empanadas. But this spot also offers the best Cuban sandwich we've found outside of the Cuban neighborhoods of Miami. Thick-sliced ham, good Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on grilled bread -- that's all that constitutes a Cuban. But put together right, the sandwich is so much more, and Buenos Aires does it very right. The bread is larded, pressed and grilled until crisp, melting all the ingredients inside together, and the sandwich is then plated with a side of salty fries that could only be improved if they were served in a twist of wax paper. In Havana.

He laid on the floor with his pale blonde hair sprayed about while he watched the flames dance across the room. These were the flames that he started himself, with the emergency gasoline his father had kept in the garage and the lighter his older sister had hidden.
They were all gone…all gone.
Crystalline tears fell from his eyes as the fire licked his skin; memories of his deceased family invaded his mind as he was finally going to be free from all of this.
Little Clara's suffering ending as that damned disease stole her last breath. Her grip on his hand, slack, as the heart monitor released one long, monotonous noise.
His fathers' binge drinking as he came home from work late in the night, day after day. The bitter beverage poisoning his blood until he collapsed in a helpless pile, unmoving in front of his son's young, horrified eyes.
How about his elder sister's depression? The stress of school and a part-time job, being bullied and the loss of family driving her to the point of taking half of their mothers' sleeping pills, leaving him to wait for her to waken.
Leaving his mother… Who refused to believe in the fate of the rest of his family and went 123 MPH on their small street. His poor, delusional mother as she was crushed under the weight of a large semi-truck that delivered the school's water bottles. But why, why did he have to wait outside in the snow, only to witness yet another death?
All of these events unfolded in front of his coffee-brown eyes. Was he supposed to have been there to witness these tragedies? Have he wronged someone up there to deserve this?
A noise, a mixture between a laugh and a sob escaped Ren's mouth. He would be the last to go out of his family - having had watched as they all die.
Five things ran through his head when the scorching heat of the flames reminded him that this would be his last moment.
One died of sickness…
One died of alcohol…
One died of medication…
One died from a car crash…
And another died by flames.
That would be five out of five.

Gone is the preachy, born-again tone with which he announced that he had kicked his heroin habit on the 1998 comeback album Aquel Que Había Muerto (He Who Had Died) and again with last year's Emboscada (Ambush). Verdad opens by making a virtue out of his battle with addiction, as Vico recites the Bible's promise: "If the just man falls 70 times/God will lift him up 70 times," backed by an eerie church organ, frantic violins, police sirens, and an insistent drum track in an intro that ends abruptly with the heavy clank of a prison door.
Vico's conviction (in both senses of the word) fires up his rhymes. He boasts on the title track, "Te confieso/Hasta mi lírica mas linda queda tieso" ("I confess/My lyric sounds even better uptight"). He's out to expose hypocrisy, pointing a finger at everyone from Ricky Martin and Brazilian bombshell Xuxa to Budweiser (Vico: "No matter how much they sponsor sports/It's still alcohol"). He's honest with himself too, especially on the song "September 5," which he supposedly sang over the phone from the pen to his daughter on her thirteenth birthday. Rather than pretend to be perfect and tell her how to live her life, the rapper touchingly offers her his "friendship" and admits that she too will likely make mistakes. "The only thing I can demand," he concludes, "is that she not get into the habit of lying."
On the salsa rap throwback "Para Mi Barrio" with Tony Touch and D'Mingo, Vico claims to offer fans "what's good for you, not what's entertaining." Lucky for us, the album is thoroughly entertaining anyway, thanks to excellent production by the rapper himself with some help from collaborators D'Mingo, Noriega, Lun y Tunes, Menace, and Echo. There's bitter medicine here as Vico rejects bling-bling and declares, "I don't have money" and "There aren't any mansions either" but "I've got flowowow." You can't help but agree, as Vico's rhymes slip and slide around a harsh, repetitive bass beat and a funky, swirling flute that manages to be crunk and spaced-out at the same time. An irresistible rhythm -- synthesized handclaps punctuated by a fat bass boom and sexed up with a dramatic keyboard line and sawing violins -- drives an exercise in braggadocio as Vico C teams up with reggaetón phenom Tego Calderon and rapper Eddie Dee in "El Bueno, El Malo, y el Feo," a tribute to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, the classic salsa album by Willie Colon, Ruben Blades, and Hector Lavoe.
"Many of the artists were raised in the barrio and the music represented the culture of the barrio," explains Vico C of the street life and prison themes in classic salsa. "The fact that we are still talking about those things is because we're still living those themes."

Eagles boss backs Sears to soar
The on-loan West Ham striker thought he had opened his Eagles account against the Robins only for referee Rob Shoebridge to rule it out despite the ball clearly crossing the line. Sears is still searching for his first Eagles goal two months later and Warnock said: "Since the Bristol City debacle he's not firing and it's knocked his confidence a bit. "He was really down after that carry on and hasn't scored a goal since. It's not rocket science really. He's got to find the back of the net somehow. "At the moment he's waiting for things to happen and when you're playing well you make things happen yourself. He's not producing what we expect of him at the moment but he'll come back, he's only a young lad."

ERIE, Pa. -- Delivery driver Brian Wells, killed on Aug. 28 by an explosive device attached to his chest, was a quiet, contented man who'd delivered pizzas for years, friends and colleagues say (see related stories Pizza delivery driver dies in bank robbery, coworker's death may be connected).
According to the Los Angeles Times, the 46-year-old's bizarre death following a bank robbery continues to baffle police investigators. At least one friend believes Wells never intended to rob a bank, only deliver pizzas.
"Brian was happy with what he had," Jim Sadowski, a pizzeria owner and former co-worker, told the Times. "This is something he could never have dreamed up."
On the afternoon of Aug. 28, Wells left Mama Mia's Pizza-Ria, where he had worked for the last several years, to deliver two small pizzas to an address near a remote television transmitter. And though delivery drivers prefer stops at more conspicuous locations, Sadowski said such secluded drop points normally aren't problematic.
"We'd go out all the time to street corners, yards, you name it," Sadowski said. "We never thought twice about it. But we are now."
Investigators aren't certain whether someone at that location strapped an explosive device to Wells' chest and instructed him to rob a nearby bank, or whether the robbery was a crime staged by Wells himself. (According to other press reports, Wells also was carrying another gun-like device, but investigators would not elaborate further on the weapon, nor share any theories on how Wells got it.)
Police said that when they pulled Wells' car over shortly after the robbery and asked him to step out, he didn't mention the device. However, when an officer saw a large bulge beneath Wells' shirt, he then began begging them to help him remove the device, saying it was timed to go off.
The officers backed away and called the bomb squad for help, but the device exploded before the squad got to the scene. According to an autopsy, the device did lethal damage to Wells' heart.
Wells' boss, Tony Ditomo, owner of Mama Mia's, said he could not talk about his friend, adding: "It hurts too much inside."

In a Different Clothing Style
CoCo City - 29th March 2032
Aslin was running for her life.
She didn't know how he'd found out about her involvement with the rebels, but the look of rage and betrayal in his eyes had told her quite clearly that even though she was his lover, her punishment would be the same as that of anyone else caught breaking the law:
She wiped tears from her eyes as she ran, her feet stumbling on the rubble that littered the city streets. She was ruining the beautiful dress he'd bought her, not that either of them really cared about that right now.
Aslin had never been one for dresses, but he'd wanted to treat her. And when he wanted something, he usually got it. So she'd worn the dress and everything had been swell, and then he'd dropped the bombshell.
He knew she'd tipped off the rebels.
The dress was for her to wear to her funeral.
And so she'd ran. Even though she knew it was pointless, because no matter where she went he'd find her. He had eyes all over the city, and those robotic murder machines he had patrolling the streets were everywhere.
She cried out, tripped over a stray brick and fell.
His shadow fell over her.
"Did you honestly think you could escape?" He asked.
She scrambled over onto her back so that she was facing him. That infernal circle was blazing in his eye, his hands engulfed in blue flames. He hadn't changed much over the years, except for growing his hair longer. He was more muscular than he had been, and his body was covered in scrapes and scars.
They were from people fighting for their lives.
People who had ultimately failed.
"Please", she wept, knowing her pleas would fall on deaf ears. "Don't".
"You've committed a crime", he hissed, glaring at her. "And must be punished".
"What about our son?!"
"He'll be joining you soon enough. Those rebel scum can't hide forever, and sooner or later I'm going to find them".
Aslin's heart skipped a beat. And even though she was facing death she still couldn't help but feel a little amusement at the fact that, for all his power and eagle-eyed robots, he still hadn't found those plotting against him.
So for now, her son was safe.
And really, that was all that mattered to her now.
"You'll never find him", she spat, wiping her eyes. "But one day he'll come for you".
"He can't do a damn thing! Nobody in this city can! This is the future, Aslin. And I am God!"
"No", said Aslin softly, "you're not God. You're the devil".
He growled and without warning he rushed forward, kicking her so hard in the head that she was unconscious before she hit the ground.
"And to think I used to love you", he said, his expression dark.
He raised a hand and with one quick burst of flame Aslin was dead, her dress burning to ashes and her blood seeping out across the street. He stood and watched her for a while, then he turned and headed back to his office.
He was the President, after all.
And that made Travis a very busy man.

ASIPP says more than 20,000 people die each year from prescription-drug overdoses, spurred by the growth of "doctor shopping" in which patients request care from multiple physicians, often simultaneously and across state lines, with no effort to coordinate care or inform the physicians about multiple caregivers.
"The lack of uniform state regulation of the prescription drug industry is to blame," says Ron Washburn, professor of legal studies at Bryant University. "More and more instances are arising where an individual can see multiple doctors and get multiple prescriptions to either use or sell."
One important move forward, say analysts, is the trend towards making patient databases instantly available. A federally-funded California program pushed forward by Attorney General Jerry Brown in the wake of Jackson's death, as well as those of Britany Murphy, Anna Nicole Smith, and Heath Ledger, was unveiled in the fall of 2009.
Brown unveiled the new real-time, Internet-based prescription-monitoring database that provides physicians, pharmacists, and law enforcement officers a powerful technology to stop "drug seekers" from obtaining prescription drugs.
"The recent deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson have made clear to the whole world just how dangerous prescription drug abuse can be," said Brown at a press conference.
The state's secure database, known as the Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (CURES), contains more than 100 million entries representing controlled substances dispensed in California. Controlled substances are classified under federal guidelines based on the potential for abuse and accepted medical use in treatment in the United States and under international treaties.
The database gives health professionals (doctors, pharmacists, midwives, and registered nurses), law enforcement agencies, and medical profession regulatory boards instant computer access to patients' controlled-substance records. It replaces the state's previous system that required mailing or faxing written requests for information. Each year, more than 60,000 such requests are made to the Attorney General's office.
