Sochi's closing ceremony referenced Russia's proud history of composition by having piano virtuoso Denis Matsuev emerge from a cloud of smoke and blast through a Rachmaninov composition like he was playing Metallica.
November became a memorable month for cultural life of Novosibirsk. Publishing House "Music"- "P.Jurgenson" with International Charity Foundation of P.I. Tchaikovsky and with participation of Bank Group ZENITH accomplished the joint project. All music schools of Novosibirsk got a considerable amount of tutorials, textbooks and sheet music from Publishing House "Music".Read more... Tags:
People's Artist of Russia Denis Matsuev needs no introduction. RBTH correspondent met with Matsuev right after his concert at the Berliner Philharmonie, where he played Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2 with an orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev.
The first half of the 20th century must surely be one of the most richly creative periods in history. This was a time of great social and political change, spearheaded by two most devastating wars that saw death and destruction on a new level of cold efficiency. Rising from the ashes of this massive upheaval, the arts produced a glorious outpouring of works and ideas not seen since the renaissance and never on this scale. In the world of music, the flowering of talented composers born in the last quarter of the 19th century, produced an embarrassment of riches, to such an extent that it was possible to consign a composer as talented as Szymanowski to the second rank.
Following in the footsteps of Simon Rattle and Charles Dutoit, it is all credit to Valery Gergiev that he is also championing this miraculous, if still peripheral, composer. To hear this music so luxuriously played by the London Symphony Orchestra seemed like the perfect way to experience it. This music has a surface richness and virtuosity that cries out for a first-rate orchestra and a conductor in tune with the toughness at its core – certainly delivered in spades, in this most memorable concert.
Two works by Szymanowski occupied the substantial first half of the evening. Both late works, they show the composer at his most rounded and contained, while not losing that essential wildness and rapturous quality which are unique to him. The oddly categorised Symphony no. 4, "Symphonie Concertante" of 1932 is a piano concerto in all but name and as such easily stands up to comparison with the great works by Bartók and Prokofiev of the same period. As performed by Gergiev and his powerful pianist Denis Matsuev, this was a performance that struck one as energetic and bold, but also giving time for the work to breathe and expand as needed. In the first movement, the balance between the ruminative opening subject and the more dynamic second group of ideas was nicely maintained and the overall effect was passionate but organic. Matusev found just the right level of forcefulness and melting delicacy.
This latter quality was much in evidence in the second movement with its piano part gently accompanying solos from the strings and woodwind, while always being somehow in control of the musical flow. In the great central climax the sense of elation overflows into a great string melody, which once again melts into the piano roulades, all beautifully judged by Gergiev and Matsuev. In the final movement all these positive musical qualities once again surfaced to produce and an exciting and satisfying conclusion to an excellent performance of an inspired work. The frenetic Polish highland dance that ends the work took the breath away with its controlled power.
The secret to performing Szymanowski's music, so clearly understood by Gergiev in these performances, is to hold onto that fine line between classical restraint and total abandon and then to make it all sound completely spontaneous. This he and his soloist Leonidas Kavakos achieved even more successfully in their performance of the Violin Concerto no. 2 that followed. Perhaps a greater work that the symphony and possibly its composer's best work, this concerto has all the ingredients that make Szymanowski so exceptional. Gergiev and Kavakos certainly got to its core.
Once again, it's all about balance, and Kavakos took as his starting point a reasonable mid-point of restraint. The opening passage was warm but not effusive, and this mesmerising stillness once created, he was able to return to it as the music required. At other times he opened out with a lusher sound, or in tougher folk dance passages, he would dazzle with rock-solid rhythmic impetus and thrilling double-stopping. The ebb and flow of this piece was so wonderfully captured, that I'm sure many of the audience left this performance wondering why the they hadn't heard it before and or why it wasn't in the repertoire of most concert violinists.
And then we ended with the Brahms. Odd bedfellows, you might think, but somehow it worked. Brahms is another composer that needs a fine balancing act between restraint and passion, and the Symphony no. 4 is the most perfect example of this duality in his orchestral music. If performed as it was by the Gergiev and the LSO, it sounded strangely reminiscent of Wagner or Bruckner, but with many fewer of the former's longueurs or the obsessive "logic" of the latter. It certainly put paid to Britten's insistence that Brahms' music was "dull", "stolid", "pretentious". There was not, as you might be forgiven for expecting, a touch of Tchaikovsky or even a Russian accent.
The first movement tempo seemed initially to be a little leisurely, but then it became obvious that Gergiev's overall conception was to emphasise the grand sweep, leading the inevitably to the climatic coda.

Except for regretting Kurt Masur's unfortunate accident that prevented him from conducting the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra's concert last week, there was no reason for disappointment with Doron Salomon as substitute.
Russian pianist Denis Matsuev's performance of Brahns' Piano Concerto No. 1 was electrifying. He is a veritable bombshell of temperament, radiating passion, intensity of expression, and excitement. Powerfully convincing though his outbursts are, there is nothing exaggerated or showy about them. Not even the slightest fleeting detail is neglected, tempi are subtly flexible with no trace of rigidity, climactic highlights are significantly accentuated, nuances of dynamics are abundant, and technically demanding runs are meticulously polished.Read more...

Fruitful cooperation of Denis Matsuev with LSO continues. "It is the great honour to me to be selected the resident artist of the new season and to perform with one of the best orchestras of the world under baton of my friend Valery Gergiev. The season will be opened with concerts at the Barbican Hall with Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto #2 on September, 21 and Prokofiev's Piano Concerto #3 on September, 23. Two more concerts in London will take place in November, I'll perform Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2. We will visit together a huge number of countries in Europe (Italy, Slovakia, Greece, France and others), Australia and Singapore. The programme includes Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2, - said Denis Matsuev - I invite all to these concerts."
Yesterday absolutely unusual improvised concert took place. I repeat time after time that the best concert always is based on improvisation, and this concert was a proof of that. Unexpectedly I found myself in Drvengrad, cultural oasis, created by the efforts of one man - Emir Kusturica. He really managed to create his own planet of art, which attracts creative people from all over the world. I experienced emotional upheaval of what I saw here. Every detail in this village is somehow connected to work and life of Kusturica. There is a street of Fellini and a street of Diego Maradona. The wooden town almost all is the scenery for the movie "Life is a Miracle," which was filmed here. Wooden, very picturesque, in folk style huts. It is a unique ethno village, that makes a strong impression on every visitor.Read more... Tags:
This DVD-record was made at the closing ceremony of the classical music Annecy Classic Festival 2013, at which I've been working as artistic director for already four years, I am very pleased that this festival has such a powerful development during this time, and it really got into the elite of European festivals. I think that first of all it was due to the fact that we have managed to gather friends and create a great team. "Friends" and "team" are key words, as in everyday life, and in cultural, festival, concert life. Of course, one of the main factors of this success is the fact that for four years one of the most outstanding conductors Y. Temirkanov with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra has come to us, in Annecy, for these four years and that the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra is the resident orchestra of the festival.Read more...

Pianist Denis Matsuev's power overwhelms
Even in today's overrun piano virtuoso market, Denis Matsuev stands out. On the evidence of his recordings, he possesses an epic technique, playing with seemingly superhuman speed, power, and agility.
At his Saturday recital in Harvard's Sanders Theatre, it was pleasant to discover that Matsuev can also produce the kind of singing tone and silvery pianissimo most pianists only dream about.
In his curtain-raiser, Matsuev responded with grace and swagger to the impish brilliance of Haydn's Sonata in E-flat major, Hob. XVI: 52. The masterly second movement showed Matsuev at something like his best, demonstrating suave phrasing and extraordinary tonal refinement.

I've just completed my long awaited American tour. These concerts were postponed, because in January I fell ill with pneumonia. For me it is, of course, was a shock, because I was forced to reschedule concerts for the first time in my life. I love concert halls both in Washington and in New York, I love American public. And I was absolutely frustrated also because I knew that all tickets were sold out, I knew that people were waiting for these concerts.
I would like to linger round the solo concert at the legendary Carnegie Hall. When people say "legendary halls", this is just about the Carnegie Hall, it was opened by P.I. Tchaikovsky. And Rachmaninoff has performed more than a hundred concerts on this scene. Carnegie Hall is a landmark place for any musician, and, of course, every appearance on this stage is a huge responsibility and a unique pleasure. My debut album was a recording of a concert from Carnegie Hall. I have over two dozen performances here, and each time I feel awe.
This year my friend, Executive and artistic Director of Carnegie Hall, Sir Clive Gillinson invited me to take part in the three concerts of a series "Carnegie Hall presents". This concert was part of a series "Keyboard Virtuosos", in which I found myself in the company of wonderful musicians performing at Carnegie Hall during this musical season. I thought over the program for this concert really thoroughly, as I was aware of all the responsibility to the American public, which I love and good attitude of which I cherish. The atmosphere at the concert itself was fascinating; I was got a lot of positive energy and emotions from the audience.
As it happens all the time after the concerts in Carnegie Hall, I got a lot of enemies. Tickets for the concert were sold out, so not all comers were lucky to get them. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about it. In Russia, knowing how it is important for many people to come to classic music concerts, I always manage to solve the problem with tickets somehow (to get tickets to the gallery or just put the chairs on the stage that happens more and more often recently). Unfortunately, it is impossible variant for Carnegie Hall, because of the traditions and original peculiarities of the hall. Therefore, those who has not got to the concert this time, I solemnly promise to inform you about the dates of future concerts in Carnegie Hall, which will take place in January 2015, where you all are invited.
Once again I would like to thank the administration of Carnegie Hall and New York public for the incredible emotions and warm welcome!
I convey my greetings to all, I am now in Luxembourg, tomorrow - Paris, the day after tomorrow I'll be in St. Petersburg with Valery Gergiev at his festival, so this wonderful madness continues.
To get the geopolitical controversy out of the way first: Acclaimed Russian pianist Denis Matsuev says he does not regret signing a document that voiced support for President Vladimir Putin's position on Russia's annexation of Crimea. The document, which was published in mid-March on the Web site of Russia's Ministry of Culture, and which also endorsed Putin's stance on Ukraine in general, attracted signatures from world-famous conductor Valery Gergiev, Bolshoi Theatre general director Vladimir Urin and other members of Russia's artistic elite, prompting some dismay within and outside the country.Read more...

I am proud of being his friend, I am proud that we have such a unique conductor, who every day devotes himself to art of music on a stage, enlightens the minds of lots of people.
I wish him to remain in the crazy tempo he got used to, as this tempo allows him to create absolutely genius interpretations, which will live in hearts and minds of his audience all over the world for years on.
Bravo, Maestro!
Happy birthday!
Tie yourself and your valuables down. Denis Matsuev and Valery Gergiev take a dangerous, open-top sports car approach to Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto. The sharpness of the attack, the delight in clashing sonorities, and the sheer raciness of the approach make the music so exciting it's almost exhausting to listen to. Matsuev's command is astonishing, in a performance that unflinchingly aligns the piece to the daunting world of the composer's Second Concerto.
It was a wonderful evening at Florence's Teatro Comunale, with Indian conductor Zubin Mehta really in great shape. On the program, Liszt' Concert Nr. 2 for piano and orchestra, a work not so famous and much less performed than Concert Nr. 1. The soloist was young Russian Denis Matsuev, who plays with great virtuosity and subtleties.
Matsuev plays solidly, his sound is bright and rich in volume so that he can compete with the full sound of Mehta's ensemble. Moreover, the young soloist looks for the right colours and expressivity, and shows a pianism rich in strong contrasts.Read more... Tags:

Caren McCaleb
editor, filmmaker
"Caren is a brilliant editor and a joy to work with. I give her my highest recommendation!"
Joseph Greco, Director of Profiles in Hope, Emmy Winning Series
"Caren is a deeply committed artist who brings true innovation and creativity to everything she does. She is a natural video editor with a fearless imagination."
Mary Trunk, Director of Lost in Living and Plain Art.
Caren is hard working, thorough and creative. She has solid story instincts and is able to quickly find the diamonds in the rough of the footage and begin to pull out the story that lies inside it. As a documentary filmmaker I rely on my editor to become completely immersed in the material and know what we have backwards and forwards. In fact they need to know the footage almost better than I do with the objectivity to see beyond the directors vision to the reality of what story the footage can support. Caren fits the bill completely. And she is tremendously fun and full of positive energy. If you have to lock yourself away in a dark room and start mining for story gold, you'll want Caren in the mine with you."
Kristina Robbins, Director of Jane Goodall, McCombie Way, Life as You Know It

The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.
--George Bernard Shaw
The Setup
Two themes dominated this game. The first was injuries to both stars and lesser players on both teams. Manu and Tony were out for the Spurs. Williams and Boozer for the Jazz. The Jazz were also without Kyle Korver and Jarron Collins' 6 fouls.
The second theme was the Spurs front office decisions this summer. The much-maligned George Hill draft choice, the Plan B (or Plan C) signing of Roger Mason, and the re-signing of Michael Finley.
Playing the role of both the drunk and the believer for the Spurs so far this season, I am without a doubt happy. But, even the skeptics and sober ones have to be happy with George and Roger -- and give the front office their due. For this one game, at least.
The First
The Jazz jumped out to an early 20-11 lead on 9-11 shooting fueled by Mehmet Okur's 11 points. Then a funny thing happened. George Hill entered the game. He replaced Roger Mason who had started at point guard.
In the 5 minutes and 13 seconds he was in the game, the Spurs erased the 9-point deficit and went up by 5. George scored 10 points, on 4 possessions, and assisted on two Matt Bonner 3's, accounting for 16 of the Spurs 18 points during the run. He also had 2 steals during the stretch (note: the official stats only gave him credit for one because he got fouled on the second steal. Bush league I tell you). The Spurs ended the first up 29-24.
The very first shot George took encapsulates everything I like about him and every reason why he isn't Beno. George caught the ball on the baseline just outside the paint and went up for the dunk. Okur stuffed it right at the rim. But George didn't quit on the play. He didn't sulk. He didn't do anything but keep playing basketball. The block bounced out to the Spurs. George kept his head and ran to the corner. Finley hit him with a pass and he drained the 3. I attached the highlights at the end of this. Watch the play for yourself. The guy is aggressive and confident. Eager to learn. Not overly proud, but not meek.
"Seriously, how am I supposed to guard a guy with cubits like that?" -- CJ Miles
The Second
In the second quarter, the Spurs extended their lead with the continued hot shooting of one Michael Finley. Yes, you read that right. Michael Finley can shoot again. Finley hit is first 4 jumpers of the second quarter. Two each sandwiched around a pair of Roger Mason 3-pointers. At this point, the Spurs were 8-9 from 3-pt land. The Spurs lead grew to as much as 14 before the Jazz, with an endless procession to the free throw line -- 16 total in the quarter, chipped their way back into the game. George again had an impact in the quarter getting to the line 6 times himself with aggressive play. Roger Mason hit a driving layup to push the Spurs lead to 8, 61-53, at the half. We were shooting lights out. Our best offensive first half of the season, by far, left us up by only 8 thanks to some fairly sorry defense.
The first half gave us 4 players in double figures: Tim - 12, Mason - 11, FinDog - 13. Hill's 17 in 10 dominating minutes were definitely the highlight.
Matt Bonner in a gay bar: Rubbing on one guy with his ass while getting his package grabbed by another all the while pretending he doesn't like it. We know better Matty.
The Third
The third quarter belonged to one man. Roger Mason. From the 11:02 mark of the third to the 10:22 of the fourth, Mace Windu scored 18 points. He hit everything. His 7th 3-pointer of the game sent him to the bench with the Spurs up 25. Yes, you read that right. I wrote one sentence with 2 incredible facts in it. Roger Mason hit 7 3-pointers and the Spurs had a 25 point lead.
Mason's 7th 3-pointer ended his night, but it's the way he ended the 3rd quarter that killed the Jazz. The Jazz were hanging around in that 12 point deficit range with 2:00 to go in the third. Roger hit a 3, a pair of free throws, a Bowen 3, and a LONG Mason 3 at the buzzer capped an 11 point run to end the quarter.
The Spurs game total at the end of the third quarter showed them shooting 12-19 from 3-pt, 58% from the field, and out-rebounding the Jazz 26-21. Game. Over.

The Fourth - aka Garbage Time
Nothing of serious interest happened after Bonner and Mason opened the quarter with 3-pointers putting the Spurs up 25.
Anthony Tolliver showed some great passing skills with a pair of superior passes to Kurt Thomas. He has shown some flashes of an uncanny ability to feed our post players. Always a good thing when you have Tim.
Tolliver hit a late 3 to give the Spurs an astounding 15-25 from downtown.
"When I take a picture of myself like this, my arms look as long as George's." --Tim Duncan

Your Three Stars
3. Tim Duncan - Always a safe pick. Tim's 18 points -- 6-10 FG, 6-6 FT --, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists were very solid. Those watching the feed last night might remember a series of defensive possessions in the second half where Tim was yelling "got a piece" on a couple of Jazz shots. It was interesting to me because I had never heard him saying that before. It was very interesting for me to see the box score and note that the Spurs had zero blocked shots last night.
2. George Hill - Most nights George would have been first star with his effort. But, since I'm not a cracker, he gets second star. His first quarter and second quarter stints changed the complexion of the game. Positively. He finished with 23 points on 7-13 shooting. 2-2 3pt, 7-10 from the line. 4 assists, 3 steals.
1. Roger Mason - Mace dropped 29 on the jazz. 10-17 FG, 7-10 3pt, 4 reb, 2 assists. Roger owned this game. He created his own shot. He hit drives, he hit off screens, he hit on kick outs. He did it all. Just think, our BACKUP GUARDS put up 52 points.
I think George Hill will be a great backup for Tony. He'll come in to play aggressive defense and make plays. He won't have to worry about fouls because he won't be playing enough minutes to force him to back off. It may also make Tony play more aggressive, hounding defense. I think Roger and Manu will be great together. I really see us having 4 guys consistently scoring 14-18 points per game. That balance offensively will be very good for us. Another guy who is showing something is Tolliver. He had a wonderful hustle play in the second quarter where he broke up an alley oop and saved the ball going out of bounds for us. Combinded with his passing, he'll be a great guy for 10-12 minutes per game if he gets his shot falling.
It's easy to have a good feeling after a beat down like that game. But the players that did it and the way they contributed really spoke to the front office decision making.

Commenting as the Scottish Government publishes its update to its Infrastructure Investment Plan, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie MSP said:
"There is no explanation of the ways that the Scottish Government is accelerating its spending on capital even though it got £394million extra from the UK Government last autumn.
"In fact, the Scottish Government has been silent on how it proposes to use the half that is available for 2014-15. Potential developers who need to know this basic information will be frustrated. It won't help them plan.
"If the Scottish Government got its act together it could work faster on projects such as speedier rail links to Inverness and Aberdeen and dualling of the A9."

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
David Lynch
Directed by David Lynch
The impulse in the arts to build idols and smash them has found another victim in David Lynch. His early films (Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet) won a cult following that swelled in 1990 when Twin Peaks debuted and stretched the confines of TV. For a few months, Lynch was a trendy darling. Then viewers, impatient with the erratic quality of the series, turned on Peaks and on Lynch. Boos greeted this movie prequel at Cannes in May. In two years, Lynch has gone from genius to leper.
In fact he has simply remained David Lynch — a supreme stylist obsessed with working through the dark themes that matter to him — and like all artists, he is subject to varying degrees of success. The screen Peaks is no match for the two-hour TV pilot, but at its best the film draws us back into a uniquely haunting world. Events transpire during the week before the death of Laura Palmer, with actress Sheryl Lee tracing the character's downward trajectory of drugs and sex. Ray Wise is more disturbing than ever as Laura's depraved father; Michael Anderson repeats his mesmerizing portrayal as the dwarf in Laura's dreams; and Lynch does a sly encore as a hearing-impaired FBI honcho. It's damaging that some key characters, including Kyle MacLachlan's indispensable Agent Cooper, appear only briefly and that others, especially Sherilyn Fenn's saddle-shoed sexpot, Audrey, don't show at all. And though the movie ups the TV ante on nudity, language and violence, Lynch's control falters. But if inspiration is lacking, talent is not. Count Lynch down but never out.

Primary liver cancer is usually hepatocellular carcinoma. The first manifestations of liver cancer are usually nonspecific, delaying the diagnosis. Prognosis is usually poor.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (hepatoma) usually occurs in patients with cirrhosis and is common in areas where infection with hepatitis B and C viruses is prevalent. Symptoms and signs are usually nonspecific. Diagnosis is based on α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, imaging tests, and sometimes liver biopsy. Screening with periodic AFP measurement and ultrasonography is sometimes recommended for high-risk patients. Prognosis is poor when cancer is advanced, but for small tumors that are confined to the liver, ablative therapies are palliative and surgical resection or liver transplantation is sometimes curative.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer, with an estimated 23,000 new cases and about 14,000 deaths expected in 2012 in the US. However, it is more common outside the US, particularly in East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa; incidence generally parallels geographic prevalence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is usually a complication of cirrhosis.
The presence of HBV increases risk of hepatocellular carcinoma by > 100-fold among HBV carriers. Incorporation of HBV-DNA into the host's genome may initiate malignant transformation, even in the absence of chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis.
Other disorders that cause hepatocellular carcinoma include cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, hemochromatosis, and alcoholic cirrhosis. Patients with cirrhosis due to other conditions are also at increased risk.
Environmental carcinogens may play a role; eg, ingestion of food contaminated with fungal aflatoxins is believed to contribute to the high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in subtropical regions.
Most commonly, previously stable patients with cirrhosis present with abdominal pain, weight loss, right upper quadrant mass, and unexplained deterioration. Fever may occur. In a few patients, the first manifestation of hepatocellular carcinoma is bloody ascites, shock, or peritonitis, caused by hemorrhage of the tumor. Occasionally, a hepatic friction rub or bruit develops.
Occasionally, systemic metabolic complications, including hypoglycemia, erythrocytosis, hypercalcemia, and hyperlipidemia, occur. These complications may manifest clinically.
Clinicians suspect hepatocellular carcinoma if
However, many hepatocellular carcinomas are detected before symptoms develop as part of screening programs.
Diagnosis is based on AFP measurement and an imaging test. In adults, AFP signifies dedifferentiation of hepatocytes, which most often indicates hepatocellular carcinoma; 40 to 65% of patients with the cancer have high AFP levels (> 400 μg/L). High levels are otherwise rare, except in teratocarcinoma of the testis, a much less common tumor. Lower values are less specific and can occur with hepatocellular regeneration (eg, in hepatitis). Other blood tests, such as AFP-L3 (an AFP isoform) and des-γ–carboxyprothrombin, are being studied as markers to be used for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Depending on local preferences and capabilities, the first imaging test may be contrast-enhanced CT, ultrasonography, or MRI. Hepatic arteriography is occasionally helpful in equivocal cases and can be used to outline the vascular anatomy when ablation or surgery is planned.
If imaging shows characteristic findings and AFP is elevated, the diagnosis is clear. Liver biopsy, often guided by ultrasonography or CT, is sometimes indicated for definitive diagnosis.
If a hepatocellular carcinoma is diagnosed, evaluation usually includes chest CT without contrast, imaging of the portal vein (if not already done) by MRI or CT with contrast to exclude thrombosis, and sometimes bone scanning.
Various systems can be used to stage hepatocellular carcinoma; none is universally used. One system is the TNM system, based on the following (see Table 1: Staging Hepatocellular Carcinoma*):
Numbers (0 to 4) are added after T, N, and M to indicate increasing severity.
Table 1
Single tumor (any size) with no invasion of blood vessels
Single tumor (any size) with invasion of blood vessels
Several tumors that are all < 5 cm
T3a, N0, M0
Several tumors with at least one > 5 cm
T3b, N0, M0
One or more tumors of any size with invasion of a major branch of the portal or hepatic vein
Tumor or tumors of any size with invasion of adjacent organs other than the gallbladder or with perforation of the visceral peritoneum
Any T, N1, M0
Tumor or tumors of any size with spread to nearby (regional) lymph nodes
Any T, Any N, M1
Tumor or tumors of any size with distant metastasis
*Adapted from the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC): AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, ed. 7. New York, Springer, 2010.
Other scoring systems include the Okuda and the Barcelona-Clinic Liver Cancer staging systems. In addition to tumor size, local extension, and metastases, these systems incorporate information about the severity of liver disease.
The TNM system may predict prognosis better than other systems for patients who are having tumor resection (and possibly transplantation), whereas the Barcelona system may predict prognosis better for patients who are not having surgery (for more information, see Staging systems in hepatocellular carcinoma or Staging systems in hepatocellular carcinoma).
An increasing number of hepatocellular carcinomas are being detected through screening programs. Screening patients with cirrhosis is reasonable, although this measure is controversial and has not been shown to reduce mortality. One common screening method is AFP measurement and ultrasonography every 6 or 12 mo. Many experts advise screening patients with long-standing hepatitis B even when cirrhosis is absent.
For single tumors < 5 cm or ≤ 3 tumors that are all ≤ 3 cm and that are limited to the liver, liver transplantation results in as good a prognosis as liver transplantation done for noncancerous disorders. Alternatively, surgical resection may be done; however, the cancer usually recurs.
Ablative treatments (eg, hepatic arterial chemoembolization, yttrium 90 microsphere embolization [selective internal radiation therapy, or SIRT], drug-eluting bead transarterial embolization, radiofrequency ablation) provide palliation and slow tumor growth; they are used when patients are awaiting liver transplantation.
If the tumor is large (> 5 cm), is multifocal, has invaded the portal vein, or is metastatic (ie, stage III or higher), prognosis is much less favorable (eg, 5-yr survival rates of about 5% or less). Radiation therapy is usually ineffective. Sorafenib appears to improve outcomes.
Use of vaccine against HBV eventually decreases the incidence, especially in endemic areas. Preventing the development of cirrhosis of any cause (eg, via treatment of chronic hepatitis C, early detection of hemochromatosis, management of alcoholism) can also have a significant effect.
Other primary liver cancers are uncommon or rare. Diagnosis usually requires biopsy. Prognosis is typically poor. Some cancers, if localized, can be resected. Resection or liver transplantation may prolong survival.
This distinct variant of hepatocellular carcinoma has a characteristic morphology of malignant hepatocytes enmeshed in lamellar fibrous tissue. It usually occurs in young adults and has no association with preexisting cirrhosis, HBV, HCV, or other known risk factors. AFP levels are rarely elevated. Prognosis is better than that for hepatocellular carcinoma, and many patients survive several years after tumor resection.
This tumor originates in the biliary epithelium. It is common in China, where underlying infestation with liver flukes is believed to contribute. Elsewhere, it is less common than hepatocellular carcinoma; histologically, the two may overlap. Primary sclerosing cholangitis greatly increases risk of cholangiocarcinoma.
Although rare, hepatoblastoma is one of the most common primary liver cancers in infants, particularly those with a family history of familial adenomatous polyposis (see Familial Adenomatous Polyposis). It can also develop in children. Some patients with hepatoblastoma present with precocious puberty caused by ectopic gonadotropin production, but the cancer is usually detected because of deteriorating general health and a right upper quadrant mass. An elevated AFP level and abnormal imaging test results may help in the diagnosis.
This rare cancer is associated with specific chemical carcinogens, including industrial vinyl chloride.
This rare disorder is probably secondary to malignant transformation of a cystadenoma and is often multilobular. Treatment is liver resection.

"Sorry seems to be the hardest word".
as i listen to the song of blue feat elton john, my mind kept asking, is sorry really the hardest word to say?
i often hear people saying sorry to their friends, parents, siblings if they have quarelled or made them mad. so why has it to be the hardest word?
i don't know why, maybe it's because their sorry is not that sincere? but still they say it... i just can't understand... alleviate this, will you?

For four days now, a story has stayed on The Buffalo News' "most popular stories" list. That is the story about how QRS Piano Rolls is ceasing making piano rolls and transferring most of its operations to Pennsylvania.
Well, let's say it in plain English. QRS is leaving Buffalo and moving to Pennsylvania. You can read the story here.
That is a sad truth to have to swallow. Walking through the old QRS factory on Niagara Street, you can't help but be struck by the history there. There are acres of ancient machines, built for the arcane and complicated business of making piano rolls. There are miles of conveyor belts. Old tools lying around. I saw one machine shored up by what looked like a century-old coffee can. It's no wonder the company says it will no longer make piano rolls. How could you move all this equipment? Where would you begin?
Just to give you an idea, that is a picture up above that I took myself of a QRS machine when I was there recently. I didn't know when I took that picture that the company was moving. When I found out, it made me feel very sad.
I also took the picture below, of someone's work station. I just could not get over the ambiance of the place!
QRS was one of those treasures that make Buffalo unique. We were the only place in the world that still made piano rolls. The company's museum area was full of pianos and pictures of musicians. You just felt the pride. And as far as the piano rolls themselves go, even if they were able to produce the piano rolls somewhere else, I do not think they would not have the same cachet. A piano roll made in Buffalo reflected the city's history, our old wealth, our traditional importance on the music circuit.
QRS and Buffalo made a good team for a long time. I wish it did not have to end.

Worcester, Mass. - November 17, 2009 - Both Andrea Butler and Amelia Sapowsky recorded 17 points as the Springfield College women's basketball team notched a 57-47 win on the road at Worcester State on Tuesday evening in both squads' season openers.
The first half of the game was very evenly played between the two teams. Worcester State jumped out to a 14-6 lead thanks to three buckets from Kaleigh Charette and two more from Bri Flanders. The Lancers managed to maintain a 21-13 lead with 6:34 left in the first.
Springfield, however, managed to mount a comeback as it went on an 8-0 run, with five points by third-year Abby Connors, to knot the game at 22-22 with 2:15 remaining in the period. WSC though would take a two-point lead at the break as Charette netted a field goal in the waning seconds of the half.
Leading the way in the first stanza was Charette, who chipped in with 11 points and six rebounds for WSC, while the Pride was paced by Sapowsky's eight point effort. The Lancers shot 39% from the field (10-for-31), while they held Springfield to only 32% from the floor (10-for-26).
With both teams coming out of the locker room, play remained level as there were four ties and as many lead changes before Springfield took a 37-36 advantage on a pair of free throws by sophomore Kelly Slattery with 11:51 left to play. It was then that Butler helped the visitors take control of the contest as she scored 12 of their next 14 points in a span of 3½ minutes while holding the Lancers scoreless to take a 49-36 lead with 7:41 left.
WSC did mount a comeback as they trailed by just five with 4:11 left to play. But Springfield closed out the game with a 10-1 spurt to put the game out of reach.
The story of the second half was field goal percentage for both squads. Springfield connected on an eye-popping 62.5% (10-for-16) from the field, while Worcester State shot an anemic 15.2% (5-for-33). Free throws kept Worcester State in the game, as it converted 11 of their 23 points from the charity stripe.
The Lancers were led by Charette's 12 points and 14 rebounds, while junior Alexis George was also in double-figures with 10 points. Senior Reilly O'Keefe finished the evening with seven points and a game-high five steals.
Connors had a great all-around game for Springfield as she grabbed six boards with five points and five assists. Sapowsky made an impact in her return to the Springfield squad after a year off as she also dished out five helpers.
Springfield will play Bowdoin in the first round of the Eastern Connecticut Tournament on Saturday at 7:30 pm.

These (along with yummy Yeasted Waffles) are favorites at my house - and not just on weekends. After you've made these a time or two, and if you know your kitchen well, you, too, will be able to whip up the batter in less than 5 minutes. The tang of buttermilk adds flavor and a tender texture to these waffles. Out of buttermilk? See how to make buttermilk or use part milk and part yogurt, sour cream, or other cultured dairy product.
Note: This recipe is easy to halve or double as your breakfast needs demand. Also, for a whole grain version, simply use whole wheat pastry flour instead of regular all purpose flour.
Yield: 8 Waffles
- 1 cup flour (or 3/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornmeal or other flour for texture and flavor)
- 1 to 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp. melted butter or vegetable oil
- Oil or spray oil for cooking
- Heat a waffle iron. Meanwhile, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; then whisk the buttermilk and the eggs together; add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the melted butter or oil. You will have a pretty thick batter.
- Spray oil on the hot griddle and spoon or pour half of the batter onto a 4-square waffle iron – use a spatula to spread the batter evenly over the iron, close it, and cook until the waffle is nicely browned, about 5 minutes depending on your waffle iron. Repeat with second half of the batter. Keep waffles warm in a 200°F to 250°F oven.
Serve the waffles hot, with butter, maple syrup, honey, or jam as you like. Some people at my house like them with just a sprinkle of powdered sugar. I've even known people to eat them slathered with peanut butter or almond butter. When it comes to waffles, to each their own.

It is obvious to me that Washington cannot/will not correct the problems it has levied on this nation. If there are hopes of slowing things down or reversing them, the pressure must come from states who bear the burden of the mischief that comes out of Washington.
Tom Lester provides some interesting information and thoughts regarding the possibility of a Constitutional Convention. Such an event would not be without risk as Mr. Lester points out. Here are his comments:
From Wikipedia:According to Article V [of the U.S. Constitution], Congress must call for an amendment-proposing convention, "on the application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States", and therefore 34 state legislatures would have to submit applications. Once an Article V convention has proposed amendments, then each of those amendments would have to be ratified by three-fourths of the states (i.e. 38 states) in order to become part of the Constitution.Congress has the power to choose between two methods of ratification: ratification by the state legislatures, or instead ratification by state conventions called for that purpose. In contrast to those separate state ratification conventions, a convention to propose amendments to the Constitution would be a single federal convention. While there have been calls for a second federal convention based on a single issue such as the Balanced Budget Amendment, it is not clear whether a convention summoned in this way would be legally bound to limit discussion to a single issue; law professor Michael Stokes Paulsen has suggested that such a convention would have the "power to propose anything it sees fit". All 27 amendments to the Constitution have happened in a procedural sense by going through Congress and not through proposal by state legislatures.From ThisNation.com:
While there has never been a sufficient number of states calling for a constitutional convention to compel the Congress to convene one, an effort in the 1980s and early 1990s to call a convention for the express purpose of considering a balanced budget amendment nearly succeeded. However, concerns that all aspects of the Constitution would be open for amendment if such a convention were convened caused the effort to fall short.A Constitutional Convention has never been called by petition of the states. There may be some troubling aspects of such an action. First, many of the state legislative members, likely delegates to such a convention, see themselves as future national representatives and senators and may be less than aggressive in limiting their future potential compensation and benefits. Secondly, once amendments are proposed and presented to the state legislatures, these same individuals would have the power of ratification.Still, it is an action I would welcome perhaps finally determining if this country is to become a European socialist democracy or one more closely aligned to its roots embodied in the Constitution. While a 28th Amendment, "Congress shall make no laws…", would be welcomed, it would be my hope that the convention would go further in addressing Congressional term limits; the limitation of earmarks; a Balanced Budget Amendment; approval of Congress of all regulatory edicts; and a statutory publishing of bills, and specific summation of their impact, for a thirty or sixty day lapse of time before the final bills could be voted on by the House and Senate.Tom Lester

We live in a nation blessed with significant natural energy resources, as well as the talent and innovation to responsibly develop them. But even when faced with today's high fuel prices and economic headwinds, some in Washington still lack the will to advance forward-thinking policies that will lower energy costs, make America more energy independent, and spur economic growth and job creation in Pennsylvania. This is unacceptable, and Senator Pat Toomey is committed to sensibly unlocking our nation's resources and reforming regulations so the American people can have access to affordable energy.
Among other things, Sen. Toomey believes we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil and lower prices by developing our energy sources right here at home. He supports allowing more oil exploration in Alaska, the Outer Continental Shelf and the vast oil shale reserves in America's western states. He also recognizes the unique potential of the Marcellus Shale, one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world, to create more jobs, more economic growth and more affordable energy for Pennsylvanians. In 2011, Sen. Toomey cut through federal red tape to secure a maritime waiver for a new, job-creating $300 million natural gas transportation project in Marcus Hook.
In addition, Pennsylvania and the rest of the country will continue to get a vast amount of our power from abundant coal produced here in Pennsylvania. It is vital that development of these resources be carried out in an environmentally-responsible manner.
Sen. Toomey will also continue fighting for common-sense federal energy policies and against regulations that will make energy more expensive or cost Pennsylvania jobs. This Congress, he has cosponsored legislation that would streamline federal gasoline regulations to lower prices at the pump, stop federal bureaucrats from imposing a cap-and-trade energy tax and help develop more of our nation's energy resources in a responsible manner.

It's who you know
by Communications Staff
September 30, 2010 — Having worked in provider payment policy since 1996 for various member associations, Kimberley Moore has been the federal regulatory affairs officer for the APA Practice Organization (APAPO) for more than six years. Originally from Wayne, PA, a small suburb of Philadelphia, Kim moved to Washington, DC, to attend graduate school at American University and become involved in politics. Her interests in health coverage and advocacy make her a natural fit for her role with the APAPO.
Kim answers members' questions about Medicare regulations including coding, billing and reimbursement. She enjoys learning the nuts and bolts of how fees are established, and the intricacies of Medicare payment processes and insurance coverage policies.
Kim also coordinates with staff for Medicare Administrative Contractors to resolve payment problems that psychologists are experiencing. She serves as staff liaison to the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) Editorial Panel, which is administered by the American Medical Association and the Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC). The CPT Editorial Panel develops the codes that are used to identify professional services provided by psychologists and other health care professionals and the RUC assigns work relative values for each CPT code.
"Some people's eyes glaze over when I explain to them how the CPT and RUC processes work." Kim said. "I've always found them fascinating."
Along with other staff and members, Kim was instrumental in establishing and implementing new Medicare codes for psychological and neuropsychological testing. She has worked extensively to teach members and insurance companies how the new codes should be utilized. She has also worked with the CPT Editorial Panel to answer the payment questions that arose as part of the process, which lasted more than two and a half years.
Right now, Kim is working on the RUC's five-year review of psychotherapy work values. The process is complex and has involved surveys and research in conjunction with multiple provider organizations, including social work, nursing and psychiatry. Results of the survey are expected to be published in 2011.
Though Kim observed that some coworkers might liken her position to watching paint dry, she enjoys the intricacies of navigating complex Medicare issues and aiding psychologists in resolving coding and billing concerns. One of the biggest things Kim appreciates about her position with the APAPO is the "variety of personalities among our members and the questions that I get from them."
Kim enjoys the challenge of helping members address unique billing situations. Some of her more interesting and challenging member inquiries involve providing coding assistance in a situation where a psychologist's patient needed care not typically provided, and assisting psychologists with submitting bills properly for patients who had become eligible for Medicare but did not realize it.
In one instance, a member called because the compliance office at the hospital where he worked realized he was not providing psychotherapy, but rather physician treatment plan services to cardiac rehabilitation patients. The employer was considering letting the member go because of uncertainty about how to bill for his services. After reviewing the situation, Kim realized that the health and behavior codes fit the services the member had been providing. At the end of the conversation, the member said Kim may have just saved his job!
One thing Kim has come to appreciate in her time at APAPO is how devoted member psychologists are to their patients. She wants to help members learn billing rules and resolve coding concerns efficiently so that they can focus on providing care to their patients.
Somewhere between her daily responsibilities at the APAPO, exploring her passion for writing and photography, raising two wonderful sons (ages 6 and 8) with her husband Steven, and chasing after a new puppy, Kim finds time to coordinate and run the Alexandria, VA, St. Patrick's Day Parade and various associated festivals and fundraisers. She also serves on the Board of Directors for the Adoption Center of Washington, an international adoption agency located in Alexandria, VA.
Members with questions about the APAPO member activities mentioned in this article may contact Ms. Moore by e-mail or call 202-336-5889.
Members with questions about billing and coding of the APA Practice Central website are encouraged to visit Practice Central, the APAPO's website for members.

Alexis' Birthday. Monday was Alexis Cole's big day and she had big plans for a Girls' Night Out at a Korean spa in Fort Lee, NJ. But the weather didn't cooperate. By planned departure time, it was sleeting and roads were slick. Reluctantly, Alexis canceled her gathering.
She still wanted to do something, so she started last-minute recruiting for a movie excursion to Cortlandt Town Center to see the 4:10pm showing of Les Miserables. Although a hastily-planned Peekskill gathering was put together for later in the evening, nobody else was able to make the movie but me.
It's not the film I would've chosen, Having played in the orchestra of the original Broadway production of Les Miz hundreds of times, I wasn't sure I needed to hear it yet again. But it was Alexis' birthday, so of course I cheerfully said yes.
The short drive wasn't too scary, but when we got out of her car, we held onto each other as we skidded and slipped across the icy parking lot. We were the only ones crazy enough to be out that afternoon, and we had the entire movie theater completely to ourselves.
"Great!," Alexis said, "We can sing along!!!"
For a while we didn't. Anne Hathaway's spellbinding performance of I Dreamed a Dream was enough to make the whole thing worth it. Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean was miscast vocally, but he played the character well. Mostly the visually beautiful rendition of the musical lumbered along OK.
But then Russell Crowe (as the police chief Javert) began to sing. Javert is the villain, powerful and scary, and Russell Crowe was OK when he was talking. But his singing was just so incredible wimpy. He scooped up to every note, and he had no idea how to sing this kind of music. It was a really good thing we were alone in the theater, because Alexis and I started howling laughing.
I said, "He sounds like a braying donkey." That set Alexis off, and she - soon joined by me - started singing along, very loudly, while making braying donkey sounds. If anyone else had been there we would've been the biggest jerks in the world - two grown women, screaming laughing and howling at the movie screen.
It certainly livened up the movie. We were still pretty well-behaved for the rest of the film - until Russell Crowe sang again, and all hell broke loose - again.
The Korean spa would've been great fun, but staying near home and misbehaving at the movies was fun, too. We came back to Peekskill and again slipped and slid over to Lana's, for a lovely, intimate, impromptu party - Alexis' birthday rescued.

so I reached over to see what was going on and something moved and burrowed beneath the covers so quickly that I couldn't see what it was...then it started putting pressure on top of my legs and because my back was hurting so bad i couldn't get up or away or move and i started to really freak out and got so scared and didn't know what to do...
so I started praying to God to help me and surround me with light...and then *poof* just like that I woke up...
and the bf was sleeping next to me snoring like a friggin bear, but i was confused as to whether or not i was still asleep or really awake, so i shook him and woke him up so he'd stop snoring...and then i said a lil prayer
now i'm not a huge religious person, but i do believe in God and think he was there to pull me from that nightmare before it got too bad, thankfully...
I had, had a difficult time falling asleep in the 1st place, kept waking every like half hour or so and it was even worse after that...sheesh...View Thread
the rest is sort of accurate-ish, heheheheheeView Thread
tomatillos (little green tomatoes)

wash, peel, de-stem the above, place in a small pot w/just enough water to cover, boil till red tomatoes start to peel slightly, about 5 minutes, throw tomatoes and jalepeno's into blender with about a 1/4 cup water and add salt to taste, blend it up, pour in a jar and viola! you have green chile that in my house lasts about a week...refrigerated of courseView Thread
I actually already have the story finished, its a really cute short and very silly rhyming story, all i need is an illustrator, i keep asking my dd to draw pics for me because she is a very talented young artist, but she thinks her drawings "suck" i keep telling her they don't, that i think they are awesome, so i'm trying to convince her, it would be so fun a mother-daughter project
so i took the initiative and did a publisher printout with caption boxes of what i'd like represented in the pictures, i hope she will do it...hey i may be the next Dr. Seuss! LOLView Thread
I chop approx 1 lb of polish sausage, turkey sausage or hot links, lightly brown in a saucepan w/a lil oil, add a 24 oz can of chopped tomatoes, a can of kidney beans, throw in some italian spices and some chili powder OR tabasco sauce, add a pkg of frozen chopped 3 pepper & onion blend (it has red,yellow & green peppers), leave that to simmer while i boil some noodles, usually i like linguine, but you can really use any kind...
then serve noodles with the jambalaya on top....the recipe i had called for rice, you could even use that 5 minute instant rice, but everyone in my house likes it best with noodles
oh side note: if you use hot links or spicy sausage you don't really need to add extra spice like hot sauce or chili powder unless you like to have a little extra kick
This dish takes me less than half an hour but feels like a good homecooked-slaved-in-the-kitchen-all-day-meal View Thread
but instead i'm most usually woken by yelling for me to get out of bed or whining that somebodyy's hungry...apparently nobody here realizes the value of my sleep View Thread

WEST NORRITON Ś Like football, resolutions and the Mummers Parade, the Port Indian Ski Freeze has become a hallowed annual tradition that diehard fans look forward to on New YearÆs Day.
But nobody is as diehard as the skiers themselves.
ōWeÆre hardcore,ö admitted Peter Bostock, who is going on 20 years as a member of the Port Indian Ski Club.
Battling water thatÆs a couple of notches above freezing may not be everyoneÆs idea of fun times, but for a handful of adventurous skiers Ś anywhere from three to around 20 madcaps have been known to participate Ś itÆs an invigorating way to launch a new year.
Up to 100 spectators turn out for the spectacle Ś ōand it is a spectacle,ö Bostock said, laughing Ś to watch the brave waterway warlords who take on the not-so-placid-this-time-of-year Schuylkill River on their own terms.
Like so many things, the 22-year-old Ski Freeze was born on a dare.
ōOne New YearÆs Eve somebody said æat high noon on New YearÆs Day weÆre going water skiingÆ ģ and they did,ö Bostock noted. ōAnd theyÆve been doing the water Ski Freeze ever since.ö
As it was in the classic Western film of the same name, the skiers gather at high noon for their showdown with the river, ready to rustle up their own brand of trouble from the dock of a private Port Indian residence.
This year the hosting site is 16 W. Indian Lane in West Norriton Township.
ōWeÆve held the event all up and down the port over the years at different properties,ö Bostock noted. ōThere is no ski club property, so it relies on private property to host an event like this and the public waterway of the Schuylkill River for the actually skiing.ö
Frequently, families will ski together, including their youngest members in the fun as well.
The Port Indian Ski Club has been around since 1954, and in recent years adopted a charitable cause for the Ski Freeze to add an altruistic dimension to the merriment.
Donations will benefit the nonprofit Rainbow Camp in Schwenksville, which helps bring a little extra joy to the lives of underprivileged kids.
Some folks prefer their water skiing to be fancy free and barefoot, Bostock noted.
ōPeople pick whatever type of ski they want, whether itÆs slalom, wake board, knee board or barefoot skiing, whatever theyÆre good at thatÆs what theyÆll start on,ö he explained. ōMost people will try and start on the dock and then leap onto their board and ski around and land back on the dock or near the dock and get plucked out of the water. If they fall taking off or fall while theyÆre skiing or coming back to the dock they either have to swim back to the dock or swim to the boat or we pick them up. WeÆre very safety-conscious about having boats available.ö
The daredevils may show up in costume to boost the festive spirit, but hardly anybody ever dons a wetsuit.
ōFor most of us, that would be cheating,ö said Bostock, who was optimistically anticipating a favorable answer to the question, ōhowÆs the water?ö come Tuesday.
A mild winterÆs day will be a far cry from the year he and other organizers had to pummel blocks of ice on the river so the boats could get out.
ōThe only thing that would keep us from going in would be a heavy driving rain,ö Bostock said. ōLight rain wasnÆt enough to stop us. WeÆve done it in snow, scattered showers and in high water. The warmest day we remember, it was sunny and warm and people skied multiple times all afternoon until dark. WeÆve had other New YearÆs Days when icicles were forming on the boat.ö
Other than the hot coffee and refreshments awaiting skiers at the end of their watery exploits, thereÆs not much to offer any cold comfort while out on the Schuylkill, Bostock allowed.
ōItÆs a real challenge overcoming the elements,ö he said. ōItÆs just so shockingly cold and the water is sometimes right around freezing. Right now itÆs probably in the upper 30s and is bitterly cold when you go in it. Even the spray from the skis hurts. If you go in the water and have no wetsuit on itÆs shocking ... and I know, because IÆve gone in numerous times. If youÆre lucky, you get numb before it gets intense.ö

she looks like angelina jolie.. :)
Tag along with Raquel Gibson, our Miss November 2005. Tan-skinned, with brown hair, brown eyes and full lips, she's made for an island paradise. "My father is an Italian New Yorker, and my mother is Filipina," she says, casual. "I have family in Japan and the Philippines. I'm fluent in Tagalog." From Clearwater, on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Raquel was a member of the USA National Bikini Team when she was selected to become a Playmate. A woman of many talents, she has a real estate license and a degree in the culinary arts, and had planned to go to medical school to study pediatrics. But she found her calling as a Playmate, and after a few episodes of The Girls Next Door and a tour of Miami on Bridget's Sexiest Beaches, she was a successful model and hostess. "A Playmate is strong and confident, and she doesn't care what other people think," she says. "That's the kind of girl I want to be." Raquel lives in the Tampa Bay area, and when she's not working, she's on the computer. "I'm not a party girl," she admits. "I don't have a type, but I want a good man who loves his mom. Family is a big part of my life."

- As you know, the Durban Review Conference is one of the most important international platforms for discussing the elimination of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerances. Given the brutal history of slavery and Jim Crow in the United States, your Administration has much to contribute to this discussion. A boycott would be inconsistent with your policy of engagement with the international community…

- The outdoor Pool Grill has a wellness breakfast, casual grill lunch, and the "hot rocks" grill-your-own dinner at The Grill.
During each cruise, there is an excellent galley brunch. Guests make their way into the galley, where dozens of the chefs' favorite dishes await them. It's fun and delicious.
Let's take a tour of the Silver Whisper Dining venues.

Town Council To Meet With Senator, Delegate
- Last Updated on 07:44 AM 11/30/09
- BY Staff
Senator Frank Ruff and Delegate-elect James Edmunds are expected to meet with members of South Boston Town Council members this evening when they meet at 5:45 p.m. in Council Chambers on Yancey Street. The council plans to meet with the legislators to discuss issues and concerns for the upcoming General Assembly session that will get under way in January.
Also on the work session agenda, Paul Comes, director of government and community affairs with Comcast Cable, is slated to discuss the company's franchise agreement negotiations with council.
The finance committee, comprised of Chairman W. R. Snead, Ed Owens and Coleman Speece, will hear an update on the monthly financial statement by Finance Director Erle Scott.
The current issues committee, comprised of Chairman Morris Bryant, Sandra Thompson and Mark Morris, is scheduled to hear the board of viewers' report on closing an unopened right of way between Parker Avenue and Hamilton Boulevard.
At a council meeting earlier this month, Ianthia Singleton Johnson spoke in favor of closing an unopened 25-foot right-of-way lying between Parker Ave. and Hamilton Blvd. during a public hearing.
No one spoke in opposition to closing the right-of-way, and council subsequently authorized town staff to appoint the three-member board of viewers to study the site, determine the fair market value of the property and make a recommendation to council.
Also tonight, the current issues committee is expected to discuss the recent community meeting held on the town's comprehensive plan.
The South Boston Planning Commission unveiled its draft of the town's long-term Comprehensive Plan 2030 earlier this month at The Prizery.
South Boston is updating the town's long-term comprehensive plan used by local leaders and citizens as a guide to make decisions on neighborhoods, housing, transportation, business development, tourism, public services and facilities, recreation, land development and the environment.
According to Town Manager Ted Daniel, Comprehensive Plan 2030, Progress and Preservation on the Dan, is a public document that serves as South Boston's guide for the future.
The 126-page plan looks at existing conditions within the town and makes general recommendations for the future, planning for about 20 years into the future.
Daniel explained the plan is developed with input from citizens and guidance from the planning commission, and ultimately will be adopted by the town council.
After its adoption, the plan will provide a framework for important decisions in the community such as where growth should occur, how land should be used and where spending priorities should be placed for the next 10 to 20 years, he added.
Although general in nature, the plan also provides the legal basis for zoning and subdivision regulations, Daniel said.
The community meeting focused specifically on planning for three special areas of South Boston, including Riverdale (gateway corridor development and Crossing of the Dan River), North Main Street, (College Street to Hamilton Blvd.) and the SVHEC area (Bruce to Ferry Street, toward Main Street).
Over the past year, Hill Studio planners, landscape architects and architects have worked with town officials, representative interests and citizens to develop planning and development concepts for discussion in those three areas.
A copy of the draft plan is available for viewing online at www.southboston.com and in the town manager's office at 455 Ferry Street, South Boston.
A public hearing is scheduled to be held Monday, Dec. 14.
• Discuss the planning commission appointments of members George Leonard, Brian Cheever and Patricia Nelson that will expire Dec. 31;
• Hear recommendations from the staff about purchasing the property at the northwest corner of Noblin and Logan Streets for storm water control; and
• Entertain a request from the Southern Virginia Botainical Gardens and Environmental Education Center to establish a park and public garden on the old Cotton Mill site.

Over on the Learning Revolution site, I've launched a new book. This one has more to do with the business side of lifelong learning – as in how to launch or grow an education/training business. My perspective is – get this – helping actual learning to take place is an important part of running a successful education business.
To that end, Dr. Monisha Pasupathi, a psychology professor at the University of Utah and star of the Teaching Company course How We Learn, was one of the people I interviewed as part of writing the book. I'm now turning my interviews into podcasts, and I thought this one would be of particular interest to Mission to Learn readers.
In our conversation we cover some common myths about learning, talk about how well prepared we are (or aren't) to deal with a hyper-connected, information-flooded world, and consider the role of the lecture as a form of learning delivery. Have a listen, and be sure to comment and share your thoughts. (I've also posted show notes over on the Learning Revolution site.)

Alabama Department of Transportation announces rolling roadblocks and lane closures in the St. Clair County area.
ALDOT's Progress 20 project will widen the last four-lane segment of Interstate 20 in St. Clair County.
State Troopers will conduct rolling roadblocks beginning at 7 p.m. on Wednesday between Exit 147 (Brompton) and Exit 156 (Eden) in the westbound lanes for blasting. Also, the outside westbound lane of Interstate 20 will be closed between exit 153 (Chula Vista) and exit 152 (Cook Springs) from 7 p.m. Wednesday until 6 a.m. Thursday to remove loose material from the blasting. A reduced speed limit of 45 mph is in effect throughout the work zone.
Motorists are urged to consider using alternate routes, adjust arrival/departure times, observe work-zone speed limits and other work-zone signs, and use extreme caution in this area. State troopers will control traffic and strictly enforce speed limits.
For more information on Progress 20 go to http://www.progress20.comweb or call 866-888-0822.
