of Colon Cancer
Following colon cancer surgery, the cancer is classified as a Stage I colon cancer if the final pathology report shows that the cancer is confined to the lining of the colon. Stage I cancer does not penetrate the wall of the colon into the abdominal cavity, has not spread to any adjacent organs or local lymph nodes and cannot be detected in other locations in the body.
Depending on features of the cancer under the microscope, Stage I colon cancer survival rates are high: approximately 90% of patients are cured with colorectal surgery alone and will not have evidence of cancer recurrence.
Despite undergoing surgical removal of the cancer, a minority of patients with Stage I colon cancer may experience recurrence of their cancer. It is important to realize that a few patients with Stage I disease already have small amounts of cancer that have spread outside the colon and were not removed by surgery. These cancer cells cannot be detected with any of the currently available tests. Undetectable areas of cancer outside the colon are referred to as micrometastases. The presence of micrometastases causes the relapses that follow treatment with surgery alone. An effective treatment is needed to eliminate micrometastases in order to improve the cure rate achieved with surgical removal of the cancer. Efforts are currently underway to find such a therapy.
The following is a general overview of the diagnosis and treatment of stage I colon cancer. Each person with colon cancer is different, and the specific characteristics of your condition will determine how it is managed. The information on this Web site is intended to help educate you about treatment options and to facilitate a shared decision-making process with your treating physician.
CancerConnect Colon Cancer Community & Discussions
You are not alone—The CancerConnect Colon Cancer Community is the leading Social Media Application for Colon Cancer patients and caregivers seeking information, inspiration, and support in the wake of a cancer diagnosis. With over 50,000 members the network offers patients and caregivers a thriving community to support the many ongoing needs from diagnosis to survivorship. Login or register here.
Surgery to remove the cancer is the primary treatment for Stage I colon cancer. In some cases, it's possible to completely remove a cancerous colon polyp during colonoscopy. In other cases, colon cancer surgery may involve open surgery (which involves a single large incision) or laparoscopic surgery (which involves several small incisions).
Adjuvant Therapy
The delivery of cancer treatment following local treatment with surgery is referred to as "adjuvant" therapy and may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy and/or targeted therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy is commonly used for patients with Stage III colon cancer and may also be used in selected patients with Stage II colon cancer. The goal of chemotherapy in these patients is to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. Thus far, clinical trials have not been performed evaluating adjuvant treatment in patients with Stage I cancers because of the very high cure rate achieved with surgery alone.
Strategies to Improve Treatment
The development of more effective cancer treatments requires that new and innovative therapies be evaluated with cancer patients. Clinical trials are studies that evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs or treatment strategies. Future progress in the treatment of Stage I colon cancer will result from the continued evaluation of new treatments in clinical trials. Participation in a clinical trial may offer patients access to better treatments and advance the existing knowledge about treatment of this cancer. Patients who are interested in participating in a clinical trial should discuss the risks and benefits of clinical trials with their physician. Areas of active exploration to improve the treatment of Stage I colon cancer include the following:
Improvement in Predicting Need for Adjuvant Therapy: Undetectable areas of cancer outside the colon are referred to as micrometastases. The presence of micrometastases may cause the cancer to relapse following treatment with surgery alone, but physicians currently cannot predict which patients will relapse.
Adjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to decrease the risk of cancer recurrence in patients with Stage III colon cancer, but benefits in patients with Stage I cancer — who have a high rate of cure with surgery alone — have not been demonstrated. New methods of determining which patients with early-stage colon cancer are at highest risk of cancer recurrence may identify a subset of patients who could potentially benefit from adjuvant treatment. A test that is being used for some patients with Stage II colon cancer is the Oncotype DX colon cancer test. The test estimates the risk of cancer recurrence by evaluating the activity of certain genes in a sample of tumor tissue.

Punch that killed Asperger's sufferer is 'no big deal', killer's mother sneers
THE MOTHER of a man who killed an Asperger's sufferer with a mental age of 14 with a single punch claimed last night it was "no big deal".
Sherron O'Hagan said that she did not know "what all the fuss is about" after her son Lewis Gill was sentenced for killing Andrew Young, 40.
There has been a public outcry after convicted robber Gill, 20, was sentenced to just four years for causing Mr Young's death.
The Attorney General has said that he is looking into the sentence.
The horrifying attack, which came after Mr Young had remonstrated with Gill's friend for riding his bike on the pavement, was caught on CCTV.
But Gill's mother, who is not married to his father, said yesterday that her son was a "good kid".
Speaking at her home in Sutton, the 41 year-old mother-of-three said: "It was just an accident. It's not a big deal. This will all be forgotten tomorrow.
"He's my son, what do you want me to say? He didn't mean to kill him and that's that.
"This story will be the lining of chips tomorrow. I just don't understand what all the fuss is about."
Gill pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was jailed for four-and-a-half years at Salisbury Crown Court
Taking into account time already served and half the sentence served on licence, he could be free in two years.
A statement issued on behalf of the Young family said: "When we first heard that Gill was given a four year sentence we thought it was too short and expected him to get more than that. It's ridiculous.
"He (Gill) didn't mean to kill him so a life sentence would have been extreme but he deserves more than what he was given.
"Looking at his criminal record he is obviously a trouble maker and we were hoping he would get about seven or eight years.
"A sentence so short might mean that he could do something else dangerous in the future."
The sentence was condemned by Victims' Commissioner Baroness Newlove, whose husband Garry was killed by a gang vandalising his car.
She said: "I'm appalled by this disgraceful act of violence – my thoughts go out to the victim's family and friends at this time."
Mr Young was a university graduate who spoke several languages including Arabic and Russian.
But because of his Asperger's he was said to have the social skills of a 14-year-old.
On November 6 last year, he was making his way to a Tesco Express store in Charminster, Bournemouth, when he encountered Gill's friend Victor Ibitoye riding his bike on the pavement.
Mr Young got into a brief argument with Mr Ibitoye before he cycled off.
Moments later Gill, who was walking, suddenly punched Mr Young without warning.
Mr Young died in hospital the following day.

To understand the latest security problem facing the web today, we have to use the DeLorean and return to the 1990s. It was a different time. Gasoline was cheaper, we were all trying to figure out exactly what Kurt Cobain was singing, and the NSA controlled the export of encryption from the U.S.
As one might expect, the NSA controlling encryption exports was a contentious issue. The agency had no particular interest in helping anyone outside of the U.S. actually secure their communications. It created a split world in which American citizens had access to better encryption ciphers, such as SSL with 1024-bit asymmetric encryption and 128-bit symmetric encryption. The rest of the world, meanwhile, was only eligible for encryption approved for export, which limited SSL to 512-bit asymmetric and 40- or 56-bit symmetric encryption. This weak export encryption solution gave the NSA the ability to continue monitoring international communications. More than just SSL suffered from this NSA decision, as well. The ancient VPN protocol, PPTP, supports three strengths of encryption to accommodate export: 40-, 56-, and 128-bit. Export restrictions even created controversy around Microsoft operating systems.
What makes the situation silly is that the NSA's efforts weren't all that effective. It was possible to bypass the IP checks and obtain the stronger encryption reserved for the United States. Security organizations like RSA took advantage of foreign branches because importing strong encryption was easier than exporting it. You could implement foreign libraries to re-implement stronger encryption in RSA's software. The 128-bit version wasn't even the front-and-center option for folks in the U.S., resulting in a large swath of the populace running the weak international version. Bill Clinton finally brought about sanity to this mess with his executive order 13026 (PDF).
A recurring theme in security and computing is that nothing stays secret forever. Secret instructions in a processor will not remain a secret. Neither will secret backdoors in software. The choice to create a separate, weaker set of encryption tools for the world had implications for legitimate global commerce then, and it's come back to bite us with a FREAK vulnerability disclosed yesterday.
OpenSSL and Apple's Secure Transport interface both have a bug. They will accept inferior, export-grade keys even when the client doesn't ask for them. This situation opens up a perfect man-in-the-middle (MitM) situation. The attacker can take advantage of a MitM proxy and force the client to downgrade to an export-level cipher while asking the victim's desired resource to also provide export encryption. The server replies with a weak 512-bit RSA public key, which can then be factored to uncover the matching private key. When the client finally passes the secret key for the symmetric half of SSL/TLS, the attacker is able to decrypt the public key encryption protecting the secret key. At this point, the world is a place of plain-text bliss, as this harmless video demonstration shows.
Several questions may stem from this, such as how are the bad guys managing to factor this public key so quickly? Through the cloud, of course. Nadia Heninger has created "Factoring as a Service" that takes advantage of the CPU horsepower on tap through a cloud-based virtualization service to factor 512-bit keys in just seven and a half hours. The cost? $104.
If you're thinking that timeframe still seems too slow, keep in mind that servers only have one export key pair for all the SSL/TLS transactions they handle. In other words, the bad guys only have to put in the time, money, and effort once to impact everyone who uses a given service. Why so few keys on a server? The easy answer is CPU time. The more complex answer is CPU time and a sufficient entropy pool.
Some of you may be seeing this as an issue for servers, as well. If servers didn't offer the option, then flawed clients wouldn't be in quite so perilous a situation. Unfortunately, at press time, 36.7% of the 14 million secured sites on the web still offer an export-grade cipher. In a bit of hilarity, nsa.gov is one of those sites. I'm happy to report that TR does not offer weaker encryption.
So let's talk about who's impacted and what you can do.
This discussion is now closed.

Slowly Getting There
Published by BEyre in the blog BEyre's blog. Views: 129
Well, another week has ended. I did not get to write as much as I would have liked due to the day job. Gotta pay the bills, don't you know.
However, I did write 1035 words today - my most to date. So, now my novel is up to a whopping 5122 words. *snickers* Ummm, I have just a 'few' more words to go.
In my defense, I have been doing research on various details of my story (places, etc). And, I've been reading posts on forums on various topics concerning how-to writing tips.
AND, I've been reading books in my novel's genre. If I stay immersed in the tone and cadence of these novels, it may make things easier for me to write mine. That's the theory anyways.
I'm trying hard to just type it out. Yes, I do go back to previous scenes when I realize I left something out or an additional detail comes to me. Heck, I've even noticed that I was spelling one character's name wrong often! LOL. Silly me.
I figure, make as much of those types of corrections now in the first draft so that when I go to do the second draft, it is that much less to work on. I can then focus more on imagery, making sure the plot and details flow and make sense, etc.

Mullins rues Scott dismissal
Rotherham defender Johnny Mullins was sad to see former boss Andy Scott lose his job.
Last Updated: 30/03/12 12:48pm
Rotherham defender Johnny Mullins was sad to see former boss Andy Scott lose his job.
The Millers disposed of Scott's services last week, after he failed to deliver on a pre-season promise of promotion, and were put in the temporary charge of his assistant Darren Patterson.
Mullins was a regular in the side under Scott and one of his final acts in the job was to give Mullins a new two-year deal.
"I was personally disappointed. He was very good with me, I couldn't really have asked for much more," he said.
"He kept me in the side after my injury and then recently with the new contract so it was disappointing but we all know the downfalls of football so it's about moving on and pushing this club forward.
"(Scott's failure) certainly wasn't down to lack of hard work. It's disappointing it didn't work out for the gaffer, but it's a new era now and we are all positive."

Quadratoni is a typeface inspired by Bodoni. It plays with tradition - high contrast, consequent construction, neoclassical axis... but instead of arcs it is build by straight lines. It suits well for screen display - by it's squarish construction it will fit perfectly to pixel grid. Also will look good on posters, book covers and as a part of illustrations.
Thank You!

Hello All,
I am Tactux (Tac = my initials; tux = Linux penguin) I have been a solid Arch user for quite a long time. Recently I have decided to try out various Arch derivatives in VM. I did not like what I saw, for a pure arch user these systems felt very bloated. I did however appreciate the attempts to put the power of arch in the hands of enthusiastic new Linux users. Then I found Archbang, this distro is "Pure Arch," It just installed my favorite DE by default. Its not bloated, and needs some setting up just like pure Arch. It just installs Openbox from the get-go. I was very impressed by Archbang, if you have ever installed pure Arch, you will also notice the installation of Archbang goes through every step of a pure Arch install. The only difference is that the step have been simplified, and a majority of the hard work is done for you. To cut a long story short I was so impressed after setting It up in a VM that I decided to make it my main OS, after I crashed the Arch kernel testing the stability of the new LXQt desktop beta. What started as an install just to test Archbang before reinstalling pure Arch, has become the sole OS on my system that I refuse to remove...I mean pure Arch, with a slightly simplified install IT"S GREAT! I hope to have a wonderful experience with you all on this forum. Thanks for reading my introduction, have a wonderful day.
Best regards --Tactux

Science fair help please answer asap
Patient : Hi I did a science fair project where I tested how theoretically different size atheroma's would effect blood flow if I represented the blood flow using the psi of the air flowing through tubing that represented the artery. My question is If the simulated artery had a complicated lesion with a psi rate of about 24 how cold I find or relate that back to how that would effect the body.

Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonGOP rushes to cut ties to Moore Papadopoulos was in regular contact with Stephen Miller, helped edit Trump speech: report Bannon jokes Clinton got her 'ass kicked' in 2016 election MORE's office on Sunday said she is flattered by Sen. Charles SchumerCharles (Chuck) Ellis SchumerTrump is right: The visa lotto has got to go Schumer predicts bipartisan support for passing DACA fix this year No room for amnesty in our government spending bill MORE's (D-N.Y.) endorsement, but she has not made any decision on a run for president in 2016.
Schumer offered Clinton his "unwavering" support Saturday night in Iowa at the Democratic Party's Jefferson Jackson dinner, saying "run, Hillary, run."
"Senator Schumer is an old colleague and an even older friend, and what he said about her is very flattering. Ultimately though this is a very personal decision that she hasn't made," Clinton's office said in a statement, according to reports.
A growing list of Democrats has called on the former secretary of State to run. A group of Democratic senators penned a letter encouraging her to run last month. And House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) hinted she might endorse Clinton.
In early polling, Clinton is the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.
Schumer on Saturday night said Clinton would win if she runs, adding "we'll all win."
"2016 is Hillary's time. And our nation will be all the better for it," he said. "With a strong platform and with Hillary leading the charge, we will vanquish the Ted Cruz, Tea Party Republicans in 2016 and create a generation of Democrats who will make sure the middle class gets what it needs, our country advances and the torch held by that beautiful lady in New York's harbor burns more brightly than ever."
Clinton has said she is wrestling with the decision and won't start seriously considering it until sometime next year.

Church's Discrimination Lawsuit Against School District Given Go-Ahead
Allie Martin, Agape Press
A federal judge has ruled that a church's discrimination lawsuit against a school district in Washington can go forward. For four years, the Northview Community Church near Seattle rented space from the Everett School District for Sunday services. Under district policy, religious groups were levied a higher rental fee for school facilities than were secular non-profit groups. The lawsuit alleges that over the course of the rental period, the school district overcharged the church almost $30,000 for use of public school facilities. Gary McCaleb is senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund, which is representing the church. He says the school district is violating the church's First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. "Neutrality means neutrality," the attorney says matter-of-factly. "You do not act in a neutral manner when you discriminate on the face of your policy against religious uses." Apparently the federal judge who ruled last week that the case could go forward agrees, saying there is strong evidence of discrimination against the church. McCaleb says the school district has never stated why churches were to be charged a higher rate to rent public facilities. The school district later changed it policy, but demanded the church turn over membership lists as a condition of access. The court stated such a requirement was undefined and unevenly applied.
Pastor 'Challenges' Members to Pray for 100 Soldiers in Iraq
Charisma News Service
A Texas pastor is challenging his small congregation to intercede for U.S. troops in Iraq. David Dodge, who leads 50-member Christian Community Church in Kerrville, launched "100 Soldier Challenge," which encourages members to pray daily for 100 days that God would protect the lives of at least 100 American soldiers in the war-torn nation. "We're asking God to spare a minimum of 100 soldiers, which could impact at least 100 families, 100 marriages and 100 children," Dodge, 60, said. Dodge's campaign coincides with the death this month of the 513th American military personnel since the invasion of Iraq began. Dodge noted that the idea for the 100 Soldier Challenge comes from a daily habit of "anti-death prayers" he has prayed since his 17-year-old son drowned in 1981. His petitions have included asking God to save 100 young people from hell, 100 suicides prevented and 100 automobile accidents averted. Dodge said he has been encouraged by recent news reports from Iraq, including a grenade thrown at U.S. soldiers that did not go off and an American helicopter that crashed -- but no one was hurt. "There's no proof that those two incidents were a result of our prayers," said Dodge, who welcomes churches nationwide to join the effort. "But believing in God, those kinds of things can happen again and again."
Attack on Church by 20 Men in Sri Lanka
Voice of the Martyrs
In the latest of a series of a string of attacks (30-60 churches have been attacked since November) in Sri Lanka, there was an attack on a Catholic church in Mattegoda Tuesday. The church was not occupied. A mob of about 20 men smashed statues and firebombed the church. Such attacks are usually justified by charges of "unethical conversions" (false accusations of offering people cash to become Christians). This is a charge that is baseless and is thought to be a justification for attacks based on hatred and fear. Usually these attacks come when Christianity is growing at a fast rate and traditional religious leaders fear loss of culture and identity. The attackers have stoned pastors' houses at night, assaulted church workers, issued death threats and pressured several churches to close down.
Trial of Vietnamese Pastor Postponed
Compass Direct
Less than 24 hours before his trial for "resisting an officer doing his duty" was to begin in Ho Chi Minh City, Rev. Bui Van Ba was served a notice postponing the trial to a later date, ostensibly because a judge was unable to attend. Rev. Ba has been under house arrest since a police raid of a prayer meeting at his home on August 18, 2003. But local sources believe vigorous and direct appeals by house church leaders to authorities -- including the threat to send demonstrators into the streets, the wide international publicity and interest shown by Western embassies -- are the real reasons for the postponement. Christian leaders in Vietnam warned that authorities could announce a new trial date for Rev. Ba at any time, and asked Christians worldwide to pray with them in the battle to secure rule of law and religious freedom.

08:29 04 August 2009
Coronation Street's psycho killer Tony Gordon asks his victim's widow to marry him a year to the date after he arranged the murder.
Tony, played by Grey O'Brien, pops the question to Maria Sutherland when the two are standing over her former lover Liam Connor's grave.
He tells her: "I have never felt like I do about any one else even Carla. You and the baby are everything I'll ever want for the rest of my life.
"Marry me Maria! I want you to be my wife and I want baby Liam to be my son."
Maria (Samia Smith) holding her newborn baby son, who she named after his late father, accepts Tony's proposal and ecstatically announces: "Yes, yes, of course! Of course I will. Oh Tony I love you so much."
The storyline will make way for the return of Tony's ex, Carla Connor (Alison King), who fled the Street when she discovered that Tony had arranged for Liam to be killed.
An insider told The Sun: "These scenes will be the start of the build-up to the dramatic return to Weatherfield of Carla.
"She will be hell-bent on destroying their relationship when she comes back and discovers that Tony is engaged to Maria."

Necrotizing Fasciitis (cont.)
When Should Someone Seek Medical Care for Necrotizing Fasciitis?
Prompt identification and treatment of necrotizing fasciitis is critical in order to improve the likelihood of a favorable outcome. Because of the rapid progression of this condition, a high index of suspicion and early detection are necessary to initiate emergency treatment immediately. Those individuals with underlying medical problems or a weakened immune system need to be especially vigilant. Consult a health care professional if any of the following symptoms or signs develops:
If a person has been previously evaluated by a health care professional and there is progression of the above symptoms, or if the person fails to improve (even with antibiotic treatment at home), prompt reevaluation must occur. If necrotizing fasciitis is even suspected, an expedited surgical consult is needed.
What Specialists Treat Necrotizing Fasciitis?
A multidisciplinary team of providers is needed in the care of patients with necrotizing fasciitis. The majority of patients will initially go to an emergency department, and therefore will see an emergency-department physician. A surgeon will become involved early on in the care of these patients. Depending on which area of the body is involved, surgical subspecialists may also need to be consulted (for example, a urologist in cases of Fournier's gangrene). An infectious-disease specialist is frequently involved to help direct antibiotic treatment.

Discussion in 'Pros' Racquets and Gear' started by Bash and Crash, May 13, 2009.
do my eyes deceive me or is that a Radical Microgel with a Dunlop stencil..
It is Dunlop from a old tiger mold with a PJ of a MG Prestige with caps an everything, and yes the stencil is original Dunlop.
It does look like a Head racquet. I can see it during the closeups.
hmmm, why wouldn't Dunlop paint it like 3004D, instead of Head PJ..
Can anyone tell me what 's going on? Having a dispute with Dunlop?
Haas has a track record of using what works and scr3w the sponsors.
Here, he's pretty clearly using a MG Prestige MP - maybe a Head prostock something or other but who knows. Doubt it's a contract thing, he just feels he plays better with the Head.
But note the kicks as well - he's got Nikes on while under contract with KSwiss.
At this point in his career, he doesn't give a flyin' flip about who's paying him - he wants to win. Gotta love it.
You can't fault the guy. He's playing really well.
Prestige Mid or Midplus???
is a microgel (or PTXX) prestige, i can clearly see the cap`s on the racquet...
Yeh, Microgel Prestige Midplus with a dunlop stencil
How do you guys know it's not a MG Prestige Pro? If it has an 18x20 string pattern, Head could always custom drill a Prestige Pro for him.
It's clearly a Head Microgel Prestige, and unlikely to be a PJ as he is sponsored by Dunlop. Looked like the MP from what I saw.
The head looks too round to be a stock Prestige. But it may be the tension that Haas strings it. But the throat of the racquet and frame shape looks like a prestige. There is no doubt that it is a Head racquet
From this angle it is definitely a Head prestige.
The grip shape looks like Dunlop shape.
Most likely a custom moulded grip or pallet.
Almost all pros get their handles custom molded to the exact shape and size they prefer so they have the same handle regardless of what brand of racquet they're using.
If it works, why not.
he is also wearing the bc 1
LOL,,,,,,he doesn't even bother with the paint job.........
and isn't Stock Head prestige too powerful for him ?
The MG Prestige MP is no more powerful than the Pro Tour 630 that Haas had used.
Also on Haas' Dunlop he always had a HEAD butt cap with the logo sticker taken off.
Haas always looks different in photographs, particularly these--I oftentimes don't even recognize him!
Yup, definitely CAP grommets there.
isn't this some kind of conflict of interest with Dunlop???
Most people watching tennis dont know the names of rackets when they see them on TV.
Only people like people on this forum will know, Dunlop probably pays him to just have the logo on the racket. So if he plays well, someone might say, oh, let me try that company's racket. They go to their nearest sports store and picks a stick with the same logo and thinks its similar.
lmao XD, Does he have to pay dunlop for the breaking contract ???
at least grab a can of krylon first.
Could it be a pt630 under the paint?
does any player use the racquet that they are paid to use? If i had a racquet company i would not pay any player to use my racquet because some time later they they might not want to use it any more and then they PJ it or blacken it out!!!!
The general public rarely knows what the terms of the sponsorship deals are. It makes a lot of sense to setup deals with professionals because they are getting the visibility of their product out there. Most of the money to be made in tennis is in selling to the general public, not necessarily enthusiasts like those on this message board. Some players even get money to wear patches on their clothes (see Andy Roddick).
However, only the top, top players like Federer, Nadal, and Sampras will get the super big money deals. All three of those players got lifetime sponsorships worth millions of dollars. It makes a lot of sense because people still think of Wilson when they think of Sampras. Lasting top 50 players probably receive good money but a lot of pros will get nothing or maybe discounted deals on equipment.
Anyway, the point my rambling is that companies don't care what's under the paint job, as long as they are selling their equipment and making money. In the end, it's all about the dollah dollah dollah (the almighty dollar for those you who didn't get the reference). It's the reality of business.
One quick thought: I think it's great that Tommy is using whatever works for him, whether it's Dunlop or Head. At this stage of his career, he only cares about winning since he's already made his money. After all, the guy drives a Porsche 911 convertible. He's probably not hurting for a paycheck!
Haas is still using his HEAD racquet with a Dunlop stencil at the 2009 French Open.
LOL! And Nike shoes with K-Swiss clothes!
with Ferrari wheels and a BMW transmission ;-)
Does K-Swiss even make a clay court shoe?
with a Lexus climate control system and struts from a Maserati. LOL!
Remember his own clothing company, Haasi?
Yes they do. Fish seems to be able to wear them.
Last tournament Haas played he was doing the K-Swiss threads and Nike kicks. I think the guy isn't a long term signee with anyone.
Maybe he's using Dunlop strings? ;P
or maybe he doesnt have a shoe agreement smart one
could you tell me, which racquet, string and tension Haas use?
Second, why he play a head racquet with a dunlop stencil?
Today he is using the right stencil: Head
^^^^^^ the last photo clearly shows this is a PT57A mold VS
Do we have any pics clearly showing the PT57A code inside Haas racquet?
Against Federer right now he has ditched the Dunlop Stencil and gone all out with a HEAD Stencil.
VS. Federer he's using a HEAD Stencil w/ the racquet. You can see he's also using lead at 3&9 and he has "power pads" string w/ the grommets in the throat.
Couldn't get pics of the throat, but this is Haas vs. Federer, with Haas using the HEAD Raquet w/ the HEAD Stencil.
The wedges below the bridge is a good indication that it's not a prestige but protour instead.
yea he also has the head bag now... seems he really liking this stick now?
he got the head stencil and head bag today against fed
Separate names with a comma.

Review by CloggieDownunder
The Dog Who Came In From The Cold is the second in the Corduroy Mansions series by Alexander McCall Smith. Once again we join the people of Corduroy Mansions and their friends. An acquaintance who works for MI6 visits wine merchant William French, and his Pimlico terrier, Freddie de la Hay, is drafted to serve his country. Berthea Snark's brother Terence Moongrove finds his new Porsche makes him feel amorous and is excited about water memory and morphic resonance. Caroline tries to decide whether she wants a relationship with comfortable James or exciting Tim. Barbara Ragg goes on vacation to Scotland with her new fiancé Hugh Macpherson and meets her future in-laws. Berthea Snark has to take action against a pair of charlatans out to fleece Terence. Dee lies and steals and tries to market her goods in a new way. Barbara's partner at the Ragg Porter Literary Agency betrays a trust and is caught out. Aussie flatmate Jo gives Caroline some very sound advice. There is a delightful piece on homeopathy and risotto gets a few mentions. William's feckless son Eddie berates him, with justification. And William effects a dramatic rescue. And throughout the happenings, we are treated to McCall Smith's gentle philosophy and wry humour. I found myself constantly smiling, chuckling, giggling and many occasions, laughing out loud. McCall Smith manages to examine issues in everyday life and still leave the reader feeling good and wanting more. I loved this book.
Review by Nandakishore_Varma
This fell way short of my expectations, after The Careful Use of Compliments. The wry British humour is still there: especially the way in which he treats hallowed British institutions such as the MI6, the publishing industry etc. There are also passages which are outright funny, and will have you laughing. Consider the following gem:

Americans do not mince their words - it is one of their great qualities, and indeed one of the great causes of misunderstanding between the United States and the United Kingdom, where words are regularly minced so finely as to be virtually unintelligible.

However, the overall product is a great rambling narrative comprising the lives of a group of people living in Corduroy Mansions, London which is apt to leave one confused and a little frustrated. The novel is second of a series, but even though it is supposed to be standalone, I felt that reading of the first book is mandatory if one is to understand the characters at all: also, many plot lines are left loose, possibly to be tied up in subsequent books. It reminded me of a mildly funny sitcom in which eccentric characters come and go as they please.

OK for a vacation weekend read, to while away those lazy afternoons.

Unmanned drones are being piloted over private homes by burglars in a bid to identify potential targets, police have confirmed.
Detectives fear the mini-helicopters, which can be bought for as little as £30, are being deployed to take surveillance photographs from above, posing a brand new threat to home security.
Suffolk Constabulary confirmed it had received at least one report of drones being used by burglars to "case" properties.

Situated directly across from Brookfield's Manhattan West residential tower and just east of Hudson Yards, the parcel is owned by Arisa Realty, who purchased the buildings for $11 million in August of 2014. A revised new building application shows that the two- and one-story structures will be replaced by a 107,853-square-foot, 210-room hotel. The project's scale has been revised upward since initial filings, growing an additional 12,000 square feet and rising 25 stories instead of 21.

Is it possible to use tethered shooting with a Mac and a Powershot A4000 IS?
Does anybody know if it is possible to use tethered shooting with a Powershot A4000IS and a Mac? I'm guessing it's not but I'll ask here just in case. I would like to set up my camera to take pictures every 30 seconds for about 8 hours, but it looks like that functionality isn't built into the camera, nor does it seem possible to use a 3rd party capture program with the mac. I had an old Powershot that I used to be able to do this with (connect and shoot) but it looks like that functionality has been removed.
I took a look at CHDK but it seems that there isn't a port for A4000 (yet...).
Does anybody know of a way to do this or am I just out of luck.
I do have Windows on my Mac, so that is a possibility. Does anybody have any advice for the windows side of things?

Surprisingly, horses having their first race during their 2-year-old season had longer racing careers than horses first racing at three years or older. The reasons for this difference could not be determined. However, it is likely that many of the horses not raced until they were three years old or older did enter training as 2-year-olds, and injury (or possibly a lack of athletic ability) might have delayed their racing debut. These factors could contribute to a shorter racing career. Bailey and his colleagues also examined injury rates in a group of 169 2- and 3-year-old racehorses. The most common injury in 2-year-olds was shin soreness, which was present in 42% of 160 horses that began training as 2-year-olds. Many of those horses developed shin soreness a second or third time as 2- or 3-year-olds. In 3-year-olds, knee problems were the most common cause of lameness, while fetlock injuries were present in both age groups. Injuries to tendons and ligaments were much less common, as were very serious breakdown injuries. Overall, days lost to training because of injury or illness were higher in 2-year-olds (3.1%) than in 3-year-olds (2.2%), probably reflecting the greater impact of shin soreness in the younger horses.
The economics of Thoroughbred racing are such that most owners and trainers aim to have their horses ready for racing as 2-year-olds. On the other hand, we know that lameness problems are the most important reason for wastage in Thoroughbred racehorses, and some perceive that these injuries are due, in large part, to the training and racing of horses too early in life. Is this fact or fiction? The short answer is that we don't know, writes Dr. Ray Geor in the January edition of The Horse. However, recent epidemiological studies by Craig Bailey and his colleagues from the University of Sydney aimed to shed further light on causes of wastage, at least under Australian training and racing conditions. As in the United States, considerable emphasis is placed on 2-year-old racing in Australia. In one project, researchers studied the racing careers of 553 Thoroughbreds catalogued for a yearling sale in 1991. Of the 553 horses, 279 (50.5%) had their first start as 2-year-olds, 162 (29.3%) as 3-year-olds, and 20 (3.7%) as 4- or 5-year-olds. Eighty-one horses (14.6%) did not make it to the races, while the remaining 11 horses were lost to follow-up.

Is it just me or does EVERYONE get that urge to go splurging when new stores open in town??? Well, that definitely happened to me today! The Natural Grocers local organic grocery store opened here in Las Cruces, so ya girl HAD to go!
The Natural Grocers is pretty much setup like your typical Wally World or Target, so navigation isn't hard at all! Making my way through, I managed to pick up some fruits and veggies, peep some really cool organic cereals and seasonings, but check this…They even had organic PICKLES! Who would've thunk it!
As I was leaving, I noticed they had a beauty section as well! Now if you know me, you KNOW I'm a product junkie when it comes to beauty products! So seeing a freaking chapstick in my COMPLEXION COLOR had me THROWN for a COMPLETE LOOP! I just HAD to get my Mocha Cocoa!!!
After calming down and catching my breath, I finally checked out! What happened next was even cooler though! Instead of using plastic bags, the employees encouraged us customers to choose boxes to carry our purchases in! Not only was that environmentally friendly, but also easy on my arms as I hauled everything up my flight of stairs!
Overall, my shopping experience was splendid! Shopping organically is great on my body and even better on my pockets since I only cashed out $34.56 bucks! I will definitely go back again and encourage you all to do the same!
Check out their website!

The Kebra Nagast
Cosimo, Inc., Nov 1, 2004 - Religion - 241 pages
A "great storehouse of legends and traditions" according to translator E.A. Wallis Budge, 'The Kebra Nagast' most likely dates back to the sixth century AD, and provides an alternative view of many biblical stories. According to this ancient text, the kings of Ethiopia were descended from Solomon, King of Israel, and the Queen of Sheba; the Ark of the Covenant had been brought from Jerusalem to Aksum by Meyelek, the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba; and the God of Israel had transferred his place of abode on earth from Jerusalem to Aksum, the ecclesiastical and political capital of Ethiopia.." . .[O]nly in the Kebra Nagast, and not in the Bible. . . the bold assertion is made. . . that the Ark had gone from Jerusalem to Ethiopia.."" . . [H]ow could the most important Biblical object in the world end up in the heart of Africa. . . ? The Kebra Nagast with a great deal of weight and historical authenticity. . . offers a clear answer to this question. . . as Ethiopia's claim to be the last resting place of the lost Ark remains unchallenged. . .."" . . [T]he Kebra Nagast's audacious claim of a massive cover-up. . . [and] all information about the tragic loss of the Ark during Solomon's reign had been suppressed, which is why no mention is made of it in the Scriptures.."" . . a great epic. . . a remarkable document. . . erected above a solid foundation of historical truth."--Graham Hancock"The Sign and the Seal"E.A. WALLIS BUDGE was the curator of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum and he collected a large number of manuscripts. He is perhaps best known for translating "The Egyptian Book of The Dead," but he also created books of translated hieroglyphs, Egyptian religion, mythology, and magic. He was knighted in 1920.

Li-Ning Company Limited is a Chinese company which makes athletic shoes and sporting goods. The company endorses a number of athletes and teams, both in China and around the world.
The company was founded in 1989 by Li Ning, a former Chinese Olympic gymnast. As of 2015, Li Ning remains the Chairman of the company's Board of Directors.[2] In 2005, Li-Ning created a joint-venture with French sports apparel company, AIGLE, giving Li-Ning the exclusive right to be the sole distributor of AIGLE's products in China for 50 years.[3] In 2006, Li-Ning posted revenues of US$418 million, and total profits of about US$39 million. As of March 2007, there were 4,297 Li-Ning retail stores.[4] The company directly owns some of the retail stores while others are franchised.
In January 2010, Li-Ning opened its U.S. headquarters and flagship store in Portland, Oregon. In 2010, as part of the 'Revitalization' of the brand, Li-Ning released a new logo and the new slogan "让改变发生" "Ràng Gǎibiàn Fāshēng" in Chinese, translated to "Let the Change Occur" in English. In January 2011, Li-Ning entered into a partnership with Chicago-based Acquity Group[5] to expand its U.S. distribution and brand awareness.
In April 2012, Li-Ning was awarded the highest distinction of "Outstanding Contribution to Quality Standardization Award" in knitwear division at the Third National Textile Standardization Technical Committee's inaugural meeting held in Zhuhai, Guangdong. In September 2012, Li-Ning signed into a partnership with NBA player Dwyane Wade.
In 2013, The Group recorded revenue of RMB2,906 million, which represents a decrease of 24.6% year-on-year, due to near-term focus on sell-in reductions, inventory clearance, and reducing the number of stores.[6] The Group projected a net loss of up to 820 million yuan ($13.19 million USD) for 2014, the third straight year where it was unprofitable.[7][8]
Li-Ning produces shoes and sportswear, largely for the Chinese market. The company has seen explosive growth in shoe sales in the past several years. Li-Ning's major shoe lines include the "Flying Armor" series of basketball shoes and "Flying Feather" running shoes. According to the company's website, their hallmark product is the "Li-Ning Bow."[4]
The company also has a smaller sports marketing and branding operation.[9]
In March 2006, The Li-Ning 001 Limited Edition shoe was available. This is the first time a Chinese sports brand made a limited edition sneaker for sale.
The company has aggressively used sponsorship deals, particularly with athletes and sports teams, both in China and abroad, to raise its profile.[10]
In 2006, the company entered strategic collaborations with the National Basketball Association, the Association of Tennis Professionals, the Chinese University Basketball Association, and the Chinese Football Association. It also signed sponsorship deals with the Chinese national teams and the Sudan track and field team. The company will also provide apparel for the Argentina national basketball team at international events including the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and 2012 Summer Olympic Games. A similar deal was made with the Swedish Olympic Committee.[4]
Since 2004, both the Spanish men's and women's national basketball teams have been equipped by Li-Ning.[11]
The company was the official sponsor of Finland's national basketball team at the 2015 EuroBasket and Malaysia's national basketball team at the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship.[12]
Indian Olympic Association had signed a sponsorship deal with Li Ning for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. [13]

Middle East[edit]
Li-Ning is the official equipment supplier to Iran at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Esteghlal Tehran Football Club and Tractor sazi Tabriz Football Club
2008 Beijing Olympics[edit]
Li-Ning aggressively sought sponsorship opportunities related to the 2008 Summer Olympics held in Beijing, China. The company arranged to outfit every presenter for broadcaster CCTV-5, the sports channel of the Chinese Central Television.[15] Li-Ning also sponsored the Chinese national teams of Gymnastics, Table Tennis, Archery, and Diving. It also sponsored the Spanish basketball team, as well as the Argentine and Swedish Olympics teams.
In a now famous case of ambush marketing (a subset of guerilla marketing), when entire countries were tuned to the 2008 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, millions saw Li Ning light the torch.[16] Though the Li-Ning company was not an official sponsor of the games, it had still associated itself with the games through its role as an equipment supplier for several Chinese Olympic teams, and through Li's status as a Chinese sports and business icon. Consequently, the ceremony generated tremendous exposure for Li's eponymous company to the chagrin of official sports apparel supplier Adidas, as viewers did not realize that he had been fully dressed in Adidas as per its sponsorship rights to the Games[17] The company's share price increased by over 3% on the first day of trading after the opening ceremony.[18]
National Basketball Association[edit]
Li-Ning was an official marketing partner of the National Basketball Association and has/had sponsorship deals with ten players: Baron Davis (Free Agent), Shaquille O'Neal (retired), Damon Jones (retired), José Calderón of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleanthony Early (Free Agent), Glenn Robinson III of the Indiana Pacers, Evan Turner of the Portland Trail Blazers, Dwyane Wade of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and C. J. McCollum of the Portland Trail Blazers.[4]
In 2006, O'Neal signed a four-year deal with Li-Ning, reportedly worth US$1.25 million, the largest deal made by the company, and the highest profile signing of an American sports star by a Chinese company.[19] O'Neal cited former teammate Damon Jones and the Spanish national basketball team's deal with Li-Ning as influences on his decision to sign with Li-Ning.[20][21]
In 2012, Dwyane Wade left the Jordan Brand for Li-Ning. The deal is worth $10million.
Environmental Practices[edit]
In July 2011, Li-Ning - along with other major sportswear and fashion brands including Nike, Adidas and Abercrombie & Fitch - was the subject of a report by the environmental group Greenpeace entitled 'Dirty Laundry'. Li-Ning, along with Abercrombie & Fitch, Adidas, Bauer Hockey, Calvin Klein, Converse, Cortefiel, H&M, Lacoste, Nike, Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (PVH Corp) and Puma, were accused of working with suppliers in China who, according to the findings of the report, contribute to the pollution of the Yangtze and Pearl Rivers.[22] Samples taken from one facility belonging to the Youngor Group located on the Yangtze River Delta and another belonging to the Well Dyeing Factory Ltd. located on a tributary of the Pearl River Delta revealed the presence of hazardous and persistent hormone disruptor chemicals, including alkylphenols, perfluorinated compounds and perfluorooctane sulfonate.
