1 recipe photo
READY IN:10mins
YIELD:24 pieces
Ingredients Nutrition
- 170.09 g can lump crabmeat, drained
- 29.58 ml mayonnaise
- 3.69 ml soy sauce
- 4 sheet nori (dried seaweed)
- 946.36 ml sushi rice, prepared
- 4.92 ml wasabi paste
- 1 avocado, peeled, cored and sliced
- Mix crab meat with mayonnaise and soy sauce.
- Place nori sheet horizontally on bamboo rolling mat with the shiny side facing the mat. With wet hands, spread about ¾ cup sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a ¾-inch strip on the far edge of the nori sheet free of rice. Using your finger, spread a thin stripe of wasabi horizontally along the center of the rice. Spoon about 3 tablespoons crab mixture along the center of the rice, followed by 2 to 3 avocado slices.
- Rolling the bamboo mat away from you, carefully roll the nori over, leaving the rice-free strip of nori exposed.
- Press the roll firmly together. Lift the top of the mat and turn the roll over so that the rice free edge of the nori overlaps the rest of the roll, sealing it.
- Roll it in the mat again, pressing firmly to make sure it is sealed and shaped like a cylinder.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the roll into 6 pieces to serve. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

MOBILE, Ala. -- A superb season for the Kent State football team wound up a couple plays shy of stupendous.
The Golden Flashes, playing their first bowl game in 40 years, made a spirited bit to snatch the first bowl victory in program history but fell just short, bowing 17-13 to Sun Belt Conference champion Arkansas State in the 2013 GoDaddy.com Bowl Sunday at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
The loss comes on the heels of a difficult 44-37 double-overtime setback to Northern Illinois in the MAC Championship Game, giving the Flashes a pair of gut-wrenching losses to close an otherwise incredible 2012 campaign.
"It was a disappointing ending for us," said Darrell Hazell, who coached his final game for the Flashes and will now take over the program at Purdue. "We would have loved to get this win for our guys in that locker room. I have strong feelings for the guys. It's hard. I'm going to miss those guys."
Kent State's chance to secure the win was stuffed by Red Wolves junior linebacker Qushaun Lee, who tackled Flashes senior quarterback Spencer Keith three yards short of a first down on a fourth-and-eight play from the Arkansas State 25-yard line with under one minute remaining. Moments earlier a well-thrown 44-yard bomb from Keith to an open Chris Humphrey slipped through the freshman wide receiver's hands in the end zone.
The Flashes (11-3) were forced to play their final drive without star speedster Dri Archer, who finished the game with 77 yards rushing on nine attempts and scored Kent State's lone touchdown.
Archer injured his knee in the second quarter and later returned, but left for good after catching a short pass early in the fourth quarter.
"Dri banged his knee in the second quarter, and it started tightening up," said Hazell. "That's why he couldn't return."
A solid defensive effort headed by senior linebacker Luke Batton (11 tackles, 2 tackles for loss) and senior nose tackle Dana Brown (7 tackles, 1 sack, 3 tfl) gave Kent State a chance to win. The Flashes held an Arkansas State offense averaging over 36 points and 481 yards per game to just 285 yards, including just 107 in the second half. Star senior quarterback Ryan Aplin was held in check, completing 21-of-30 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown, and the Red Wolves managed just 72 rushing yards on 38 carries.
However, for the first time this season, Kent State's defense did not force a turnover.
After allowing a field goal on Arkansas State's first possession of the second half, increasing Arkansas State's lead to 17-10, the Flashes blanked the Red Wolves (10-3) for the final 23:35 of the game. But Kent State only managed three points of its own during that same stretch, and failed to cash in on three possessions in the fourth quarter -- two of which reached Arkansas State territory.
A booming 63-yard punt by freshman Anthony Melchiori bailed the Flashes out of a jam after a three-and-out to start the fourth quarter, pushing the Red Wolves back to their 21. Kent State forced a punt, and reached Arkansas State territory after a third-and-nine pass from Keith to tight end Tim Erjavec for 18 yards moved it to the 43.
The drive stalled, but Melchiori pinned Arkansas State back at its own 5 with a perfect 35-yard boot that was caught by teammate Malcolm Pannell.
The Red Wolves moved out to their own 43 but were then forced to punt, and Kent State took over at its own 23 with 4:50 to play.
As the drive started, Archer stood on the sideline with a towel over his head.
"I hurt it when I landed on the ground in the second quarter," said Archer. "I kept trying to go, but I was hopping around. I knew I was hurting the team when I was in there."
A series of short gains moved the ball into the Red Wolves end, then on first-and-10 from the 44 Humphrey broke into the clear down the middle of the field. Keith fired a bomb over Humphrey's shoulder and was actually jogging down the field preparing to celebrate when the pass went through Humphrey's arms.
Keith and company regrouped, converting a key fourth-and-eight. Keith took a shot in the pocket but hung in, giving senior wideout Matt Hurdle time to break open over the middle for a 15-yard gain to the Arkansas State 27.
A short run by sophomore running back Trayion Durham (20 carries, 68 yards) and a pair of incompletions set up a fourth-and-eight. Following a time out, Keith stepped back in the pocket, saw an opening and took off. He seemed to have room to run for the first down, but Lee closed quickly, forcing Keith to cut to his left. Lee then quickly gobbled up Keith, bringing Kent State's attempted rally to a disappointing close.
"It's a huge difference when you don't have the fastest player on the field (for the final drive)," said Keith, referring to Archer's absence. "We fought through it though and put together a good drive, but we just couldn't finish it out."
Keith finished 17-of-33 for 157 yards with one interception, the only turnover of the game, which came early on as the Flashes wasted an opportunity to score first.
After reserve tailback Julian Durden popped an inside handoff for 32 yards to the Red Wolves 1-yard line, Durham was stuffed on consecutive run plays. Then Keith tried to force a pass over the middle to Humphrey, but it was knocked away then picked off in the end zone by Arkansas State star linebacker Nathan Herrold.
After the Red Wolves offense was stopped for the fourth straight time to start the game, Archer took over. First he broke loose on an inside handoff, shaking away three tacklers on a 44-yard run to the Arkansas State 22. Later with Kent State facing a third-and-19, Archer drew a pass interference call in the end zone, giving the Flashes a first down at the 16.
On the next play, Archer took a reverse and exploded through a huge hole into the end zone, cutting off blocks by Hurdle and Keith for a 16-yard touchdown that gave Kent State a 7-0 lead with 12:10 remaining in the first half.
Hurdle was penalized 30 yards after the play, first for unsportsmanlike conduct, then for taking his helmet off, and Arkansas State returned the ensuing kickoff 33 yards to the Kent State 39. But a 9-yard sack on first down, and another sack on third down by Brown forced the Red Wolves to go three-and-out.
After the Flashes returned the favor with a three-and-out of their own, the Arkansas State offense suddenly came to life.
Snapping the football repeatedly just after it was spotted, the Red Wolves marched 60 yards in nine plays to tie the game. Arkansas State quarterback Ryan Aplin completed a key 21-yard toss to tight end Darion Griswold, then junior running back David Oku broke loose up the middle for a 10-yard touchdown run after Aplin faked an end-around to knot the contest at 7-7 with 5:40 left in the second quarter.
"I thought Arkansas State did an excellent job keeping us off balance with their hurry-up," said Hazell.
Kent State's offense stalled quickly for the second straight possession, and the Red Wolves scored again. Aplin completed a nine-play, 88-yard drive with a 31-yard touchdown pass to Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the year J.D. McKissic (11 catches, 113 yards), who beat Flashes senior free safety Leon Green on a corner route to give Arkansas State a 14-7 lead with 1:13 left in the half.
Kent State answered with a field goal just before the end of the half. Passes of 14 yards to Hurdle and 18 yards to Archer set up a 42-yard field goal by senior kicker Freddy Cortez that made it 14-10 Arkansas State at halftime.
After stymying the Red Wolves in the first quarter, Kent State's defense coughed up 132 yards in the second quarter as Aplin completed 10-of-12 tosses for 111 yards and a score in the stanza.
The Flashes were able to run the ball effectively in the first half, churning out 141 yards on 17 carries led by Archer's 75 yards on six attempts. Durham added 32 yards on nine carries.
The second half started precariously for the Flashes, with a three-and-out. A short punt by Melchiori was fumbled, but fair catch interference was called. The Red Wolves actually picked up the muffed punt and returned it 24 yards to the 45.
Arkansas State then marched to the Kent State 7, but Batton stuffed a third-and-two run by Oku for a one-yard loss to force a 25-yard field-goal attempt that Brian Davis nailed to increase the Red Wolves lead to 17-10 with 8:35 left in the third quarter.
Kent State answered with a field goal of its own behind Durham, who rushed five times for 24 yards and took a screen pass 15 yards to the Arkansas State 12. A third-down pass to Archer was dropped, but Cortez tacked on 26-yard field goal to bring his Flashes within 17-13 at the 1:44 mark of the third period.
"We didn't do enough in the red zone, and we had to settle for some field goals," said Hazell.
Kent State outgained Arkansas State 350-285.
Kent State closes the most successful season in school history with a school-record 11 wins, including a 10-game winning streak, but fell to 0-3 in bowl games.

On Monday, Clinton said he was "sick at heart" that the Democratic National Committee may have accepted overseas funds, carefully distinguishing the DNC from the Clinton-Gore campaign, which, he said, "checked every check." Today, internal memos revealed an extensive effort by Gore's staff to schedule time for him to make phone calls seeking donations from his desk near the Oval Office. While it's illegal for federal employees to solicit money in federal buildings, Gore maintains he was not subject to that restriction. Meanwhile, Common Cause points out Republican Party committees received $23.1 million in soft money this year, out-raising the Democrats by 2 to 1. Democratic Party committees took in $11.2 million. Both numbers are drastically higher than figures for previous post-election periods.
The key question here is: Does anybody care? Ongoing Congressional campaign fund-raising hearings continue to draw limited interest, though surfers can follow them gavel-to-gavel on the Web.

If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
Yes there is a very good reason. We all took a vow of slience - It actually started right after ABAdays called and ordered two large pepperoni pizzas - for delivery. -
It all started innocently enough, we were talking about Jermaine O'Neal. One thing led to another, a few explotives were exchanged but then suddenly and without warning Peck lost it. A few in the crowd called JO some bad names - choke artist extordinare, and someone actually called him something worse.
So Peck runs across the room and decks two guys, I mean knocks them out cold, so then I jump in - screaming something about "Artest rules, Ronnie forever - we traded the wrong superstar - I have no idea where all that came from - certainly doesn't sound like me (maybe I've kept it bottled up for too long) . Well then everyone else started grabbing me and knocking me silly. This went on for a few minutes, and it seemed like things were calming down until the brothers B-Rich and B-Richard both picked up dust pans and started just waving them in the air - it was crazy and hysterical at the same time - but for whatever reason that got the mob going again - pizza, beer bottles and chairs were then thrown, windows were broken out - the police were called and they finally restored order - but 10 of us were arrested and taken to lockup (they are going to let us out for the game today though)
That about sums it up. Other than that is was a quiet typical forum party. Jose vowed to never have one of these again he was heard muttering something like, "Pacers fans just aren't what they used to be"
The sad thing is, I bet Peck could have really turned my poor attempt at humor into a classic. But that was the best I could do on 3 hours of sleep, plus I need to leave for the game in a few. We missed you being there able
This was bound to happen with Peck in control. It's always been an explosive situation.
And actually UB, it was quite funny.
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
Hhehehe you at least had me smiling and there is little else to smile about here atm
You have no idea how bad I want to be at the next one my friend, no idea, and I don't know how yet, but I do vow to be there, even if it means not paying the rent for a month
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
I was only there for the Pizza King portion this time, so somebody from the Perkins crowd could do a far more comprehensive job than I could.
Topics covered when I was there were:
Rick Carlisle
Jermaine O'Neal
Allen Iverson
Those three topics alone covered a fair portion of the night. I'm going to wait for Peck or somebody to do a complete wrap up, but it was enjoyable as always.
Seventy percent of me talking on the court is personally for me to get me
motivated and going. Thirty percent is to see if I can get into the opponents head.
Reggie Miller
Peck undoubtedly will use the excuse that he is today's game, he's slacking lately
wussie behaviour, he could've gotten up at 8 am to write it :P just because you get home at 4 am is no reason to not get up t 8 am, I do that every day
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.

We are still waiting on Rat's not-so-secret recording (he played coy, but we thought the carnation pinned to his t-shirt was a bit out of place) to be turned into transcript form and posted.
At that point we will all begin the denial process.
For example, I did not, as reported, eat a bunch of pizza and then procede to eat a stack of blueberry pancakes and bacon about 2 hours later.
(what can I say, I was eating my way out of a hangover from the night before...do not mix sake and champagne and gin in the same night of drinking...and no I'm not kidding, it was that kind of Friday night)
Don't feel bad Seth, I probably ate the same amount of pizza. I then proceeded to have two over easy eggs, breakfast potatoes, and three pancakes.
Well I can list the lineup for the party at least.

Thats 20, not to bad, this close to Christmas.
I can tell you the over mood was not overwhelming positive. The play during the Detriot & New York games did encourage hope amongst some.
Rick Carlise is generally viewed as the best coach available to us at this time. However most agree that something needs to be done, and soon, about the mix of players we have as it relates to the offense & defense that Carlise is running.
The group was widely divided on O'Neal. Arenn coined the phrase "choke artist extraordinaire". Most felt that O'Neal needed more help than he has now if he is to take us further into the playoffs. Kegboy had the line of the night... ... he just comes off as a *******ing p***y!
Allen Iverson As with the board in general, the opinions of Iverson vairied greatly at the party.
We then moved over to Perkins.
Most were happy with the ownership but the consensus on Walsh, Bird & the future was far from as glowing.
I think we touched on overall team defense. Naptown Seth mentioned our trouble dealing the pick and roll. I'd like to see an a stronger defender at the point than the 2 we're using now.
I think I bailed right after that. It was only 1 AM, someone else will have to fill in the details I left out as well as the post 1 AM part of the party, I missed.
Thanks to everyone that was able to attend.
Forum Party 14 will be in late June or early July.
Wait a sec....so ABA Days was able to join by dialing in?
As in people not in Indy can dial in and join the fun?

Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
He gave our host a message to pass along to us.
I'm sure his time on the phone from Iraq was very limited. I can't say enough how much that meant to me to have him take the time for us. I hope he will be able to be here for the next party, until then, stay safe sir.
Total BS! I happen to know he called in from the Downtown Hyatt where he has been hiding from his 3 ex-wives for the last 8 mos. It's all been a sham guys. The closest he's gotten to Iraq was drinking Irani tea at a small spot in the CC mall.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
Hm. 3 ex-wives? I'm in a Muslim country. I can have 4 if I want. Tea in CC mall sounds awfully good right now.
Hey! I just realized. I was the first to do something on PD.
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
Thank you Jose.

If they have no alcohol over there, he'll be a light weight by the time gets home, which is good, because if Geez is buying, he's kinda limited in his commissions right now. I mean, he may still be sitting on that sweet real estate 15 miles south of nowhere...uhh, I mean south of Spencer by the time ABA comes home....
Did we ever get Peck's usual 4 page report?
I don't think so, and frankly, I'm disappointed.
I for one and still hoping we see one soon.
Me too.
He's also absent from the Donnie Walsh discussion that specifically names him.
Must be Xmas busy I assume.

With their impressive kicks, punches, and karate routines, 13 of Brooklyn Amity School's after-school karate program athletes were awarded with medals at the 2012 USA National Karate Championships and U.S. Team Trials.
The championships, which took place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, featured three days of competitive karate moves and performances. It was the largest National Karate Championships, with 1,486 competitors and about 100 karate clubs participating. This is the first time that Amity School took part in the national championships, sending students ranging in age from as young as six to as old as 17.
Of the 13 Amity School victors, five emerged as first-place winners with gold medals, five in second with silvers, and three in third with bronzes.
"These kinds of results are clearly derived from the hard work and commitment of the students' and their tireless instructor Sensei Meral Olmez, a two-time World Karate Champion," a representative of the school said in a statement. "Her commitment to excellence undeniably reflects on her students' enthusiasm and dedication."
Amity School's director, Cengiz Karabekmez, personally helped raise funds to send the kids to Florida, securing full sponsorship for the students to make the trip possible. Right after the Fort Lauderdale event wrapped up, several students went on to attend pre-college programs at prestigious institutions including Harvard University, Junior State of America at Georgetown and Fordham University.
Congratulations to Sensei Olmez and the Brooklyn Amity School karate team!
The Amity students awarded medals are as follows:
Gold Medalists:
1- Elif Yargic (Kata)
2- Nursema Gunduz (Kata)
3- Elif Yargic (Kumite)
4- Nursema Gunduz (Kumite)
5- Mucella Bursal (Kumite)
Silver Medalists:
1- Izabella Bajraktarevic (Kumite)
2- Mucella Bursal (Kata)
3- Hayrunnisa Kalac (Kata)
4- Zeynep Kurt (Kumite)
5- Emine Ustundag (Kumite)
Bronze Medalists:
1- Sarah Marin (Kata)
2- Zeynep Kurt (Kata)
3- Hayrunnisa Kalac (Kumite)

Correction (4:52 p.m.): The original version of this article indicated that Sensei Meral Olmez previously won four medals. She actually won two. We regret the confusion.

Presenting short films from independent filmmakers…
Blarghaaahrgarg, 2010.
Written and Directed by Nuria Leon Bernardo.
Produced by Nuria Leon Bernardo, Fernando Alle, Tiago Augusto, Pedro Florêncio and Luís Henriques.
Cinematography by Tiago Augusto.
Original Music by Pedro Marques.
Starring Dinarte de Freitas, Pedro Barão Dias, Adelaide João and Luís Zhang.
Financed by the proceeds of their first short film Papá Wrestling, Blarghaaahrgarg is a fifteen minute comedy horror from independent Portuguese filmmakers Clones, which is described as "the story of an exterminator, a man in a dressing gown, a cat and a monster."
As with its predecessor, Blarghaaahrgarg is another utterly bizarre effort that features some hilariously over-the-top violence and lashings and lashings of gore. The film took second prize at the Horrorvision Horror-Trash Film Festival in 2010, and has also enjoyed a host of screenings around the world, including the UK, Italy and the United States. For more information, visit Clones' official website.
If you've made a short and would like to feature on the site, please get in touch via email.

With the rise of rumors circling around a new piece of legislation that would allow institution-wide differential tuition that could increase the base rate currently paid by students, the University of Wisconsin student government is taking preemptive action.
If voted into law, the bill would allow institution-wide differential tuition programs to add to the base amount of tuition currently set by the Board of Regents, according to 2011 Assembly Bill 241.
This would allow tuition to increase above 5.5 percent from the previous year – a limit that had been placed by the Board of Regents, according to statement from the Associated Students of Madison.
While UW is not currently included in the legislation, students' elected representatives want to make sure it stays off the list.
Currently on the list are UW-Stevens Point, UW-Green Bay and Madison Colleges, none of which currently allow differential tuition, according to the bill.
UW already has a differential tuition program set up through the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates tuition stipend, which launched under former Chancellor Biddy Martin.
MIU places a 3 percent cap on tuition increases for students whose households report an annual income of $80,000 or more, according to the MIU website.
If UW were added to the proposed legislation, additional forms of differential tuition could exist and increase tuition rates significantly, according to the statement.
ASM Chair Allie Gardner said there were alternate revenue sources other than student's pockets in a press conference held Tuesday, citing state aid, federal aid and donors to the university as more viable options.
Gardner added all actions at this point in the legislative process are proactive and would include public statements and conversation with public administration to demonstrate student opposition to the bill.
"I think it is extremely important that students make it clear to our administration that we cannot afford any more tuition increases," she said.

Evidence Gaps in Advanced Cancer Care: Community-Based Clinicians' Perspectives and Priorities for CER
Comparative effectiveness research and pragmatic clinical trials are valued methods to address the limitations of traditional randomized trials, answer questions of cost-effectiveness or noninferiority, and inform data-driven dialogue and decision making by stakeholders.

This article was published as part of a special joint issue and also appears in the
Journal of Oncology Practice
Although much effort has focused on identifying national comparative effectiveness research (CER) priorities, little is known about the CER priorities of community-based practitioners treating patients with advanced cancer. CER priorities of managed care–based clinicians may be valuable as reflections of both payer and provider research interests.
We conducted mixed methods interviews with 10 clinicians (5 oncologists and 5 pharmacists) at 5 health plans within the Health Maintenance Organization Cancer Research Network. We asked, "What evidence do you most wish you had when treating patients with advanced cancer?" and questioned participants on their impressions and knowledge of CER and pragmatic clinical trials (PCTs). We conducted qualitative analyses to identify themes across interviews.
Ninety percent of participants had heard of CER, 20% had heard of PCTs, and all rated CER/PCTs as highly relevant to patient and health plan decision making. Each participant offered between 3 and 10 research priorities. Half (49%) involved head-to-head treatment comparisons; another 20% involved comparing different schedules or dosing regimens of the same treatment. The majority included alternative outcomes to survival (eg, toxicity, quality of life, noninferiority). Participants cited several limitations to existing evidence, including lack of generalizability, funding biases, and rapid development of new treatments.
Head-to-head treatment comparisons remain a major evidence need among community- based oncology clinicians, and CER/PCTs are highly valued methods to address the limitations of traditional randomized trials, answer questions of cost-effectiveness or noninferiority, and inform data-driven dialogue and decision making by all stakeholders.
(Am J Manag Care. 2012;18(5 Spec No. 2):SP77-SP83)
Evidence of cancer treatment effectiveness comes primarily from randomized controlled clinical trials. Although these studies are used extensively to evaluate the efficacy of new treatments, meet US Food and Drug Administration requirements, and determine clinical guidelines, their findings may not be generalizable to community practice.
This may result from implementation in academic settings and use of complicated protocols with stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, which may not be relevant to community practices.
These factors lead to greater uncertainty in decision making by doctors, patients, and policy makers, as well as in evaluations of cost-effectiveness, in these settings.
Pragmatic, or practical, clinical trials (PCTs), a form of comparative effectiveness research (CER), are an alternative to traditional trials. PCTs compare 2 or more clinically relevant interventions, recruit a population that is more representative of the target population, and assess a broad range of clinically relevant health outcomes to aid decision making for a variety of stakeholders
). This form of research has been recognized as a potential solution to concerns regarding generalizability,
and significant effort has gone into identifying the national CER agenda.
Unfortunately, little research has investigated the oncology-specific CER or PCT priorities of community-based clinicians treating patients with advanced cancer who would be the recipients and users of these CER results. Rising healthcare costs, increasing intensity of care, an aging population, and the fact that cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States
make it all the more important to achieve effective and efficient care in advanced cancer.
We interviewed 1 oncologist and 1 pharmacist from each of 5 Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Cancer Research Network (CRN) health plans to understand their knowledge and perceptions of CER and PCTs and what evidence they wish they had when treating patients with advanced cancer. The perspectives of this clinician population are of interest because, as salaried employees of their respective health plans, their preferences for evidence and/or research priorities may reflect both provider and payer perspectives.
A single trained interviewer (EJAB), a nonclinician researcher, conducted structured telephone interviews (between December 2010 and March 2011) with 2 clinicians (1 oncologist and 1 pharmacist) from each of 5 health plans within the CRN (Group Health in Washington State; the Northwest, Northern California, Colorado, and Georgia regions of Kaiser Permanente). Delivery system pharmacists were included because they may be involved in developing formularies, approving off-label chemotherapy use, and addressing appeals representing the payer perspective. Patients were selected from the 5 locations participating in an NCI-funded grant entitled, "Building CER capacity: Aligning CRN, CMS, and state resources to map cancer care." All 10 participants who were invited to participate agreed to do so. Participants were selected for the study on the basis of their roles as clinical leaders at each HMO Research Network site; most were the heads of their respective practices or lead pharmacists, and all had a major role in decision making in their departments. After being given a brief description of the study via e-mail, participants were contacted to schedule an interview. The study was approved by the Kaiser Permanente Colorado institutional review board.
Data Collection
We used a mixed methods approach, collecting both quantitative and qualitative data, to gain a more thorough understanding of participants' responses.
After querying participants on their familiarity with CER and PCTs, we emailed published definitions of CER and PCT to them in real time; these definitions (Figure) were then used as the standard for the rest of the interview. We asked participants about the relevance of CER to patient and health plan decision making as well as their self-reported likelihood of changing their practice or advocating for health plan policy change on the basis of evidence from various types of studies on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 = "extremely unlikely" and 10 = "extremely likely"). We asked open-ended questions about what evidence participants wished they had when treating patients with advanced cancer and about what CER studies or PCTs they felt were the most important to conduct at this time for patients with advanced lung, colorectal, breast, or prostate cancer. These cancers were identified a priori as having the greatest potential for impact because they are the 4 most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States, and they have many treatment-related challenges. We also collected data on participants' demographic characteristics.
We calculated mean values and ranges for all quantitative data. We used ethnographic software (Atlas.ti; GmbH, Berlin, Germany) to classify and analyze qualitative data from interview transcripts. Qualitative data included all answers to open-ended questions, including what evidence participants wished they had when treating patients with advanced cancer as well as their thoughts on CER, PCTs, and how they compared with traditional methods of research. Two investigators (EJAB and SJL) independently reviewed the same 2 randomly chosen transcripts to identify codes and then discussed and refined this list. Both investigators then independently reviewed the remaining 8 transcripts, identifying codes, and then discussed them and summarized major themes. All participants' names and institutions were kept anonymous.
Participants ranged in age from 30 to 62 years (mean, 47 years); 8 of 10 were male. Participants had been in practice for an average of 17.5 years; 6 had previously practiced in a comprehensive or university-based cancer center, and all oncologists had completed a fellowship. Four participants reported that 5% to 15% of their patients were currently enrolled onto clinical trials; the rest reported less than 5%. All but 1 participant had heard of CER, whereas only 2 had heard of PCTs. After reviewing the definitions of CER and PCTs (Figure), half considered CER more relevant than traditional methods of research (including traditional trials) to health system decision making, and half considered CER more relevant (including 2 who considered it at least as relevant) to patient decision making than traditional methods of research. No participants considered CER less relevant. We observed similar results for the perceived relevance of PCTs. Participants were slightly more likely to change their practice or advocate for change in health system policies on the basis of consistent results from multiple pragmatic trials than for traditional randomized trials and less likely on the basis of results from a single trial. They were less likely to change on the basis of results from observational studies, case studies, or opinions of their colleagues or other clinicians.
When asked what evidence they wanted most when treating patients with advanced cancer, participants each provided between 3 and 10 ideas. About half of the proposed ideas involved comparisons of 2 (or more) different treatments (49%)—for example, comparing the effects of pemetrexed versus multiple older drugs on overall survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (
Table 1
). Another 20% of proposed ideas involved comparing different aspects of a single drug or treatment, such as different doses, durations, or sequences—for example, comparing the adverse effects of 2 mg versus 4 mg of zoledronic acid (Zometa; Novartis Oncology, East Hanover, New Jersey) per month. Approximately 10% involved comparing the effects of maintenance therapy versus nothing, conducting palliative care interventions, or testing hypotheses around genetic testing. Of trial ideas that specified at least 1 health outcome, a third of ideas specified survival time as the outcome of interest, and twothirds specified toxicity and/or quality of life as the outcome.
Although participants were not directly questioned about what they perceived to be the weaknesses of existing evidence, this arose as a common theme across all interviews. Four specific weaknesses were raised by at least half of participants, including: "lack of generalizability of existing data," "biases in funding," "rapid development of new treatment options," and "increasing individualization of treatment" (
Table 2
Lack of Generalizability of Existing Data
Many participants raised concerns about the generalizability of results from traditional randomized trials. According to participants, this issue greatly impacts day-to-day practice, with providers regularly deciding whether or not to apply the results of traditional trials to situations in which they may not be applicable (eg, to older patients with more comorbidities).
In one participant's words,
"A usual patient in a randomized adjuvant colon cancer study is 62; the average [age] with colon cancer in the US is 71. And of course, we always choose the healthiest quartile for our clinical trials—youngest and healthiest."

Next step for Wymondham Area Action Plan as inspector starts planning hearing
PUBLISHED: 12:56 20 October 2014 | UPDATED: 12:56 20 October 2014
©Archant Photographic 2010
An inspector is preparing to launch a four week assessment into the planning blueprint for a south Norfolk town.
Jeremy Youle, who was appointed by the Planning Inspectorate, will begin scrutinising the Wymondham Area Action plan tomorrow.
The hearing will see him clarify and seek additional information on any issues relating to the soundness of the South Norfolk Council document, which has earmarked at least 2,200 new homes for the town before 2026.
In particular, he will consider how it addresses housing need, employment, retail and infrastructure for the town.
Following the hearing, the inspector will consult on any proposed changes and produce a report summarising his recommendations.
John Fuller, leader of the council, said: "We need a plan to control development for which there is proven to the places where there are sufficient facilities and to safeguard sensitive landscapes and the spaces between settlements.
"Without a plan we would be defenceless in limiting growth or absolutely conditioning it to the creation of infrastructure and improvements to public transport and new leisure and education facilities."
To balance the influx of new properties, the council has promised to create 20 hectares of employment land, improve services and enhance public transport, while maintaining open land between Wymondham and Hethersett.
The inspector will also examine the Site Specific Allocations and Policies and the Development Management Policies documents.

The full magnitude of Justin Trudeau's declaration of independence on Wednesday has become clear: Liberal senators will remain Liberals, and they will remain senators; they will continue to meet as Liberals and act as such in the Senate.
But they will be independent.
[np_storybar title="Inside the secret planning for Justin Trudeau's Senate gambit" link="http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/01/30/inside-the-secret-planning-for-justin-trudeaus-senate-bombshell-and-how-a-senators-trip-nearly-derailed-it/"%5D
For months, Trudeau had been left in the awkward position of largely defending the status quo, while the Conservatives pushed an elected Senate and the New Democrats advocated abolition.
That needed to change, even before the Liberal policy convention in February.
To help formulate a new approach, Trudeau's advisors called on two academics, Emmett Macfarlane, a political science professor from the University of Waterloo, and Matthew Mendelsohn, director of the Mowat Centre, a public policy think-tank.[/np_storybar]
"We are the Senate Liberal caucus and I will remain the leader of the opposition and we will remain the official opposition in the Senate," Nova Scotia Sen. James Cowan told mystified interrogators after Mr. Trudeau's surprise announcement that he was ejecting all 32 Liberal senators from his caucus.
"I think not a lot will change," added Cowan, noting that "I'm not a former Liberal senator … I'm a Liberal."
You can be forgiven if this leaves you a bit confused. In making his announcement, the leader of the Liberal party specifically said there would be no more Liberal senators. Liberal senators were a thing of the past, a relic of an outdated age, an unneeded commodity that would no longer clutter the corridors of the Liberal caucus.
Yet they're all still Liberals, and they're all still senators, and they still consider themselves the Senate Liberal caucus, and their leader views himself as the Liberal leader of the Senate caucus. The Senate Speaker, Noel Kinsella, says they will still be recognized as Liberals. They can still attend Liberal conventions, like the one next month in Montreal, and fly around on their Senate expense accounts to attend functions where everyone will know they're Liberals. Some of them were upset when they heard the news, but they all eventually went along, because of course they're good, loyal Liberals.
But they're independent. See?
Someone needs to get Mr. Kinsella a copy of the memo. And they might deliver one to Mr. Cowan as well. Neither seems to have grasped the historic importance of Mr. Trudeau's announcement, which has been hailed as bold, ground-breaking, masterly and revolutionary. It identifies him as a man of action, a wily political operator, a leader willing to think outside the box. Nevermind that very little in the Senate will actually change, this is all about optics and the creation of an image for a young leader who needs it.
Evicting senators is hardly new. Prime Minister Stephen Harper kicked three senators from his caucus last year, and spent months trying desperately to defend himself for it. No one seems to have concluded that Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau are no longer Conservatives, or hailed Mr. Harper's genius for divesting himself of them. Mr. Trudeau, on the other hand, has much of Ottawa agog at his coup, despite the fact his senators, as far as we know, didn't do anything to warrant their expulsion. They're out because they're out. They can no longer sit with Liberal MPs or get Liberal funds for their budgets.
The practical impact appears marginal at best. When RCMP documents relating to the Duffy affair demonstrated the degree to which the Prime Ministers' Office sought (often unsuccessfully) to influence Tory senators, Liberals gave the impression they barely even spoke to senators, much less dictated to them. That being the case, banning them from caucus gatherings would appear of minimal importance. If they never got their marching orders from Mr. Trudeau anyway, why waste time trooping over to the caucus room?
The Senate will continue to exist. Liberals will still gather as Liberals and champion the Liberal cause; Conservatives will do likewise for their own agenda. The costs will be the same, the operations of Parliament the same. Everything will be the same, except that Mr. Trudeau will be able to say there aren't any Liberal senators, just Liberals who happen to be senators. And you can't blame him if they mess up.
So convenient. Seeing as how Mssrs Duffy and Brazeau, along with Ms. Wallin, are also now involuntary independents, one way of testing the validity of the new non-Liberal independent caucus might be for them to seek membership in it. Hey, we're all independents together, non-partisan appointees with no strings to tie us down. Might as well all caucus together, right?
I'm guessing they wouldn't be too welcome. Non-Liberals and Non-Tories get along like non-cats and non-dogs.
National Post
Update, Stephane Dion on the notion of independently-appointed senators (via Postmedia's Glen McGregor:
…Dion also addresses the notion that new Senators could be selected by an arms-length non-partisan committee — which sounds very much like the plan his leader unveiled to great surprise on Wednesday morning. Quoth Dion:
As for the often made proposition, revived by Professor Flanagan, to submit senatorial selections to the scrutiny of supposedly independent and apolitical commissions (composed of Members of the Order of Canada, for example), I remain sceptical about it. I find the notion elitist – and frankly, not very democratic – and believe that Canadians would perceive it as such. It risks watering down the Prime Minister's accountability. He selects senators – he should bear the responsibility for his choices.
Dion's essay can be found on his Liberal party home page.
As the New Democrats point out, Dion elaborated on this view in response to an NDP motion last fall to make senators non-partisans. Dion via Hansard:
We cannot say "You are a parliamentarian, but not the same as the ones in the House. You cannot be part of your caucus". This would change the character of the Senate, its relationship with the House and it would be a constitutional problem. It is very amateurish on the part of our NDP colleagues to be constantly introducing motions in the House that make no sense and waste time. It really is a basic thing to know that one house cannot restrict the powers and prerogatives of another house.

Overall rating
Average rating: 4.83 stars
Great shoe!! Using these a lot now and somewhat wider then the Faders which i used a lot. But still as long lasting and comfy also in half sizes on buy direct site which is great as well. Good stuff Etnies...
These are my third pair and they last forever and so comfy. 2 blacks and thought try 1 white for this price. Good stuff!!
Great shoes great service great price
Another great Cartel! my third is this type and love the longer nose and sole. My opinion they last longer then the great Fader which are great as well but the sole wear faster and used and destroyed plenty with biking. Etnies have the finest shoe in my book. Good stuff!!
Very comfortable shoe, especially the memory foam footbed. My only gripe, and this is personal nothing against etnies or its associates, they were a little narrow for me. I bought these to replace my worn out Fader pair which are a little wider than the Cartel model. But all in all, still an incredible, comfortable, and indestructible shoe. The brand I trust the most when it comes to skate shoes. Also they look cool as f**k!!
bad ass! wear 'em all the time.
The Metal Mulisha Cartel shoes are a safe bet. They are durable, comfortable, fashionable and worth every penny.
Got these shoes for my son, the motocross racer. He's been looking for these shoes all over in our town but with no luck. He was definitely surprised when he received these shoes for Christmas. Appreciate the ease of ordering them on online and the speedy time they were shipped.
love these trainers. the details are sooo cool. my favourite trainers at the moment
Some of the nicest etnies i've owned, perfect amount of padding on sides.. really comfy and sharp looking! Well worth the little extra $.

Healthy Broth
By Shoshanna Easling - May 07, 2010
Old fashioned broth is packed with important minerals that have disappeared from the American diet. They have been replaced with the discovery of monosodium glutamate (MSG). What is MSG? It is a neurotoxic substance that causes a wide range of reactions from temporary headaches to permanent brain damage. You might think you do not use MSG, but it is in bouillon cubes, canned broths and soups, dehydrated soup mixes, sauce mixes, TV dinners, most restaurant food, condiments, and more. Fast food restaurants could not exist without MSG. Enough about MSG; this article is about broth. Okay! So, what is broth? "It is a flavorful liquid resulting from slow cooking bones, hooves, knuckles, bird feet, eggshells, meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables in water. This process pulls nutrients from cartilage and tendons, like sulphates and glucosamine, which is used as a supplement for arthritis and joint pain." It all might sound a little disgusting, but, believe it or not, it is delicious. The benefits for the body are amazing, as well. It is an herb in itself, healing and strengthening the body's digestion. It contains minerals in a form the body can absorb easily, like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur, gelatin, and trace minerals. Broth has been used to treat arthritis and joint pain, peptic ulcers, tuberculosis, diabetes, muscle diseases, infectious diseases, jaundice, cancer, help cure colds, and even put in babies' milk to aid digestion. Broth is also used as a thyroid strengthening substance. Not only is broth great for health purposes, but it is a MUST in cooking. I use broth for cooking vegetables, noodles, rice, sauces, soups, gravy, stews and more. Check out our books: http://www.bulkherbstore.com/Books Recipes Chicken Stock 1 Whole free-range chicken or 2 to 3 lbs of chicken parts, such as necks, backs, breastbones and wings 2-4 Chicken feet, (optional) 4 Free-range or organically grown egg shells 4 Quarts cold filtered water 2 tbsp vinegar 2 Carrots peeled and chopped, if organic do not peel 3 Celery stalks chopped 4 Whole garlic cloves 1 Onion chopped 1 tsp pepper corns 1 Bunch parsley Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 6 hours or as long as 48 hours. Beef Stock 4 lbs beef and knuckle bones, (approximately) 1 Calf's foot, cut into pieces, (optional) 3 lbs meaty rib or neck bones 4 or more quarts cold filtered water, more if desired 1/2 Cup vinegar 4 Free-range or organically grown egg shells 3 Onions chopped 3 Carrots chopped 3 Celery stalks chopped 5-6 whole garlic cloves 1-2 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp peppercorns 1 Bunch parsley Simmer stock for at least 12 hours or as long as 72 hours. Fish Stock 3-4 whole carcasses, including heads, of non-oily fish such as sole, turbot, trout, brim, rockfish, or snapper 2 tbsp butter 2 Onions chopped 1 Carrot chopped 1 Bunch of cilantro 3 Cloves garlic 1/2 Cup dry white wine or vermouth 1/4 Cup vinegar 3 quarts cold filtered water, (approximately) Milk from young coconut, (optional) Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 4 hours or as long as 24 hours. TIPS: 1. Asian and Latin American markets, sometimes, carry whole birds and some butchers in ethnic neighborhoods carry calves' feet. Use 2-4 chicken's feet for chicken stock and about 2 lbs calf's feet pieces for a large pot of beef stock. 2. If you want to make a gravy you can add 2 tbsp arrowroot powder with 2 tbsp water to one cup broth. Bring to boil, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Add sea salt, and, if desired, other seasonings. 3. Let all the ingredients sit in the water for an hour before starting to cook broth. This helps the vinegar break down the calcium. Tid Bit on Eggshell and Bone Health 1. Studies have shown that taking eggshell with vitamin D3 improves bone mineral density. Egg shells have been used for the pain, and treating, of all kinds of arthritis and joint pain. 2. Pour 2 cups of hot water over 4-5 (free-range or organic is best) crumbled egg shells. Add 1 tsp fresh lemon juice or vinegar. Cover and let sit for 2 hours. Strain the shells out and put liquid in a clean glass jar with a lid. Take a sip of the liquid one or two times a day. Just because it works, does not mean you should take more than you need. So, slowly increase your dosage until pain is the gone. After that do not increase it. Some of us need more calcium than others, but remember our bodies cannot handle too much calcium. 3. Egg shells are high in Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Glycine, Gelatin, Collagen, and Other trace minerals. From more healthy lifestyle tip and recipes check out Nourishing Traditions.

Pound meth deal alleged
Gabriel A. Quintero, 30, 491 Coronado Way Unit C, was arrested Friday on two warrants, with one alleging he arranged the purchase of a pound of methamphetamine on Feb. 28 and had a confidential informant bring $11,000 to his home.
Quintero also is accused of selling more than 14 grams of cocaine to a confidential informant, who was working with the Western Colorado Drug Task Force, twice between October and December 2013. Quintero on Monday was ordered held at the Mesa County Jail on $150,000 bond on suspicion of conspiracy to distribute a schedule II controlled substance and money laundering, among other charges.
Damage to cop car alleged
Eyob Teferi, 19, was arrested on suspicion of criminal mischief late Saturday for allegedly jumping on the roof of a Grand Junction patrol car and damaging it, according to an arrest affidavit.
Officers were handling a call just before midnight involving a loud party in the 1400 block of Elm Avenue at the time. Teferi allegedly "caved" the roof of the patrol car, causing damage estimated between $3,000 and $5,000, according to a summons. Prints left on the car matched Teferi's shoes.
According to the Grand Junction Police Department:
■ A man suffered serious bodily injuries after possibly being assaulted Saturday night. Officers were called to St. Mary's Hospital in the case and they were still trying to learn how he received the injuries.
■ Julian Arzapalo, 39, was arrested Saturday on suspicion of menacing after he allegedly pulled a knife on another man during an argument in the 400 block of Chuluota Avenue.
■ Maise Thurston, 19, was arrested Sunday on suspicion of possessing a schedule II controlled substance in the 500 block of 28 Road.
■ Someone caused less than $100 in damage to a vehicle Saturday in the 500 block of North 26th Street.
■ A motorcycle was reported stolen Monday from the corner of D 1/2 and 30 roads.
■ Michael Crespin, 18, and Bravion Haynes, 19, were contacted early Sunday on the Colorado Mesa University campus after officers were called on a report of intoxicated people harassing women. Crespin was cited on suspicion of harassment and obstructing a peace officer, among other counts.

Sister Hazel, Uncle Kracker, America lead music lineup at 2014 Florida State Fair
Music has never been the forte of the Florida State Fair, but in recent years, that's started to change.
In 2013, the State Fair booked LeAnn Rimes and Less Than Jake. And this year, the State Fair has even more concerts in store -- all of them free.
America, Sister Hazel and Uncle Kracker will perform free concerts at the fairgrounds at 7 p.m. on Feb. 6, 13 and 17, respectively. And Feb. 12 marks the return of the annual "Country Gold" tour, with classic country artists like Leroy Van Dyke, Suzy Bogguss and T.G. Sheppard performing at noon and 4 p.m. (The Country Gold shows are not free; tickets are $10-$15 and must be purchased through the Florida State Fair Authority at FloridaStateFair.com.)
This year's fair runs Feb. 6-17 at the Florida State Fairgrounds, and in addition to the expanded musical slate, there will be rides, fair food and a huge array of entertainment, including motorcycle daredevils, sword swallowers and fire eaters.
Advance tickets are $9 for adults, $7 for seniors (select days only) and $5 for children ages 6-11, with ride armbands $25 in advance. Tickets are now available at all Walgreens stores and select AAA locations around Tampa Bay, as well as at the fairgrounds box office. For more information, call (800) 345-3247 or click here.

Today is the 40th annual Earth Day celebration. And some area residents got outside to enjoy it.
Help Me Grow, an organization which helps educate parents with children under the age of three and screen children's development, held a local celebration of the event.
"We're trying to encourage the families that we work with to spend some time outside, enjoying the nature that's around them and learn how to have healthy activities for their children," said Help Me Grow Supervisor Heather Rice.
Rice says many of the families help me grow works with spend a lot of time inside and may not thing they can't do activities because it could cost a lot of money. Rice says getting them outside to enjoy the fresh air can remind them there is plenty to do outdoors that doesn't cost anything.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Jakarta, Indonesia, 2010/11/10 - Many countries in Asia are increasing their defense expenditures, spearheaded by the need for more homeland security against acts of terrorism and geographical conflicts.
Tension between North and South Korea is driving the establishment of extra air defense sites in the Northern areas of South Korea. Neighboring countries like Japan and China around Korea's coast are also taking the extra effort to bolster their air military might. India and Pakistan's tension have held the two countries locked in an arms race, to challenge each other in terms of aerospace technology, capability and networking readiness. These social tensions have increased the need to acquire state of the art aerospace technology to reduce risk.
According to Frost & Sullivan's Asia Pacific Consultant of Aerospace & Defense Practice Kunal Sinha, Asia Pacific's Military Aerospace Procurement revenue will grow to a total of US$70.64 billion by 2016, at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2010 to 2016.
He continues, 'The expected growth of military aerospace procurement in Asia Pacific will further encourage the indigenous development of new fixed, rotary winged and UAV's to support the increasing operational demands within the region."
Led by China, countries such as India, Australia, and Singapore are increasingly expanding their military capabilities. These countries usually have defense budgets worth approximately 2.3% of their respective GDP. Developing countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia are also progressively increasing defense spending to modernize their capabilities. Although the latter countries do not spend as much as the former countries, overall, there is an upward trend for defense budgets.
In recent days, there is a higher incidence of military aerospace systems to take on humanitarian roles over wartime roles. These additional roles have a strong influence on the demand for increased procurement.
'The environmental impact of several severe natural disasters in Asia Pacific over the past year has necessitated reinforcements in relief efforts and capabilities. For example, the earthquake in Padang and Pariaman, Indonesia in 2009 has urgently required military aerospace support," says Sinha.
Also driving the defense procurement market is the advancement in technology and outdated systems. Some of the countries in the region are interested in procuring more technologically advanced platforms i.e. JSF, whereas some countries are more focused on upgrading its current technologies.
On the other hand, the advancement in technology also increases the cost of military aerospace platforms due to the exorbitant research and development costs involved.
'Rising costs of military aerospace systems will continue to restrain the purchasing desire of countries in the region. There is also the concern over the implementation, adaptation and integration of new or upgraded technologies with existing technologies. Still, a number of wealthier countries in Asia Pacific are looking to procure advanced aerospace platforms and technologies for its forces," elaborates Sinha.
Several countries in the region have also set about developing their own military airborne platforms; and leading the way here are countries such as China, India, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
However, research and development of aerospace technology is limited to a few countries in the region, and it is still in its infancy stages as compared to western countries. Asia Pacific will still be dependent on Western countries for acquisition of key aerospace technology.
'Investments from foreign market players through strategic alliances with the local business partners is imperative. Strategic alliances also ensure better chances of market penetration, reduced costs and also ensure better system interoperability. The transfer of technological knowledge will also better enable after sales support which is currently lacking in some countries in the region," Sinha explains.
He concludes, 'Asia Pacific is a major importer of defense technology, but local competition is set to become significant competitive markets."

Not only are iPhones amazing devices for adults, they are equally as fun for kids. I have no doubt that most of you reading this have seen a two-year-old child swipe to unlock their parent's phone or iPad with ease and then bang at the screen with their fingers or even shove the corner of the phone in their mouths.
We're talking about the same phone that you might take into the bathroom, drop in the parking lot, or even have sitting on the counter next to the steaks you are preparing for dinner tonight. It doesn't really matter how you do it, but you need to clean your phone. I found three great products at CES that clean your phone in different ways—I'll let you choose the one that's best for you.
Master your iPhone in one minute a day:
Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
Phone Soap ($49.95) Charge your phone as a UV-C light cleans the germs away. The Phone Soap sanitizing case fits all iPhones and is a safe way to rid your device from all germs–even superbugs that have developed a resistance to antibiotics and chemicals. The bonus of Phone Soap? It acts as an audio amplifier for your phone, which allows you to still use it as your alarm clock.
NueVue ($45.00) After 18 months of research and testing Derek Batey, CEO of NueVue, created a blend of microfibers and antimicrobial technology that can be used to clean and sanitize devices. Choose between a cotton twill or leather exterior and a variety of colors for the microfiber interior and keep your device protected while it stays clean. Your NueVue case will last for about 18 months before it needs replacing and it's recommended that in order to achieve the best results, your iPhone is clean before first use. NueVue will be available for purchase January 20.
Spudz Pro by Alpine Products ($9.99) Clean your screen with a microfiber cloth and cleaning solution that fits into a neoprene pouch and attaches to your keyring. Spudz Pro also works for eyeglasses, tablets, and camera lenses. It's always at your fingertips and the pouches come in several fun designs and colors. Spudz Pro will be available for purchase on February 1.

What questions should you ask when buying a used car and what physical things should you look for on the car?
This is a discussion on Please Guide me within the Car Talk forums, part of the The Pub category; What questions should you ask when buying a used car and what physical things should you look for on the car?...
What questions should you ask when buying a used car and what physical things should you look for on the car?
Its a though one. But here is some stuff I took from the top of my head...
- Mileage
- Parts that needs replacement. Have it been done in a while? (breakes, filters, tires etc. The cost will add up quickly)
- Everything seems to be in order in the service book?
- All windows are undamaged? (expensive stuff)
- Does the AC work like it should?
- Test all buttons etc
- How does it sound?
- Take it for a test drive and floor it on a safe road. Everything feel and sound ok?
- Does it go straight ahead if you let the steering wheel go?
- Warranty?
And ofc stuff like stereo, speakers etc. which can be nice to have in order. Can get real costly if the car got a "brand specific" stereo. (as in you cant slap a standard unit in it without modification)

Not only should you check the AC (which can be so expensive a repair that many people let it go) but you should also check the heater. Heater cores can also get leaks the same as radiators. And it is a trivial bit of plumbing to simply bypass the heater core completely. Even in today's weather, it only takes a few minutes to verify that you can heat the interior. If it has been bypassed, you will want to know before winter hits. Also, if your car overheats in high summer weather, the heater core can, while unpleasant, be just what you need to get to a service station.
Allow me the following heresy: There is simply no such thing as the perfect computer. Even if you managed to build it, some new bit of hardware would come out next week that is marginally better than what you have.
Decide what you want, ask questions, respond to the answers. If it takes you a couple of months to get there, that is fine. You will have a better computer that you could buy from Dell or similar companies.
if you cant get a carfax, and they claim the car was never in a wreck, check to make sure all gaps between body panels are the same throughout. example, is the gap between the driver door and front fender the same width at the top of the fender and the bottom of the fender. also check to make sure the headlights are properly aligned with the car (not the beam of light, but the actual mounting). i bought a used car from the original owner and he said it was never in a wreck. the next day i noticed some gaps wrong, and the hood wasnt even closing properly.

CE Makers Hope Gadgets Will Save Christmas
BERLIN (Reuters) - Consumer electronic makers are bracing themselves for slower growth in the second half of this year and in 2009, but count on consumers turning to home entertainment amid tougher economic times and tighter budgets.
"When people don't have much money, they cut on big stuff and buy things that make their lives a little bit better, like consumer electronics," TomTom co-founder Corinne Vigreux said.
Vigreux said she expected the satellite navigation device company to be largely unaffected by the slowing economy in Europe and the United States, but retailers were being "very careful" on inventory levels in the run-up to Christmas.
Consumer electronics makers from around the world have descended on Berlin to showcase their products at the IFA electronics fair which runs from August 29 to September 3.
Many companies count on the fair for new orders as retailers shop for the upcoming holiday season, but are worried that a gloomy macroeconomic environment is casting a pall over sentiment.
"The overall market in 2008 is not very good and Europe is even worse," Shin Ik Kang, president and CEO of LG Digital Display.
A global economic slowdown, oil price increases and the subprime crisis had taken their toll, Kang added.
Euro zone retail sales posted their biggest ever yearly fall in June and British retail sales dropped at their sharpest pace in at least 25 years in August.
Kang expects the TV market in Europe to be flat this year and has seen some reluctance among retailers to place orders since May. Still LG predicts it will outperform the market in Europe.
"We are seeing people are more sensitive to promotional deals but have not seen signs of consumers turning to third-tier brands," said LG Digital Display's Europe head, Chi Eun Lee.
Lee also said she expected leading TV makers to intensify price competition, especially the biggest brands such as Sony and Samsung, the two leading LCD TV makers, ahead of the Christmas shopping season.
Japanese electronics maker Toshiba, which also sells LCD TVs, said companies should not sacrifice profit margins for volume even if the weaker euro slows the growth of Europe's consumer electronics sector.
"We're not planning to subsidize this exchange rate swing at all. We'll either find ways of reducing the costs still further or we may have to adjust prices upwards," said Alan Thompson, Toshiba's executive vice president of computer systems for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Thompson said retailers were facing pressure from the economic slowdown and it was hard to predict where consumers would cut spending, but Toshiba was well positioned with alternatives to expensive rival high-definition video playback systems.
Sony Chief Executive Howard Stringer said it was hard to tell what effect an economic slowdown would have on consumer spending. He expects the consumer electronics market to slow in the second half but still sees double-digit growth in the TV market this year.
"We have not seen an impact on consumer spending yet," Stringer said, adding people often sought solace in entertainment during uncertain economic timesciting the popularity of cinemas during the depression of the 1930s.
Stringer said home entertainment products such as TVs and Blu-ray DVD players were selling well.
"I see prices for Blu-ray devices to come down more and more before Christmas," he added.

(Solved) - Login/logoff loop - Win7 Home Premium 64-bit(9 posts)
Update: Found something about the Userinit registry key getting messed up. Checked it, and it is as it should be, so that is not the problem.
Update 2: Tried the Win7 repair disk. Still can't stop the loop. Also, as stated below, cannot access Safe Mode.
Update 3: Read that replacing userinit.exe with the same file from a working computer would work. Tried it, also does not work.
I tried to get into safe mode. Held down F8, still booted like normal. F8 key shouldn't be broken, as the laptop is brand new.
Since this problem may be the result of malware,having changed a registry key
i would boot with this http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk
if you can download and burn it to disc,on a healty pc.
İt may clean up the system enough for you to be able to boot.
Long story short, got together with some of my other geek friends. Ended up doing a reformat.
