The Samsung Galaxy Tab is by far the biggest competitor to the Apple iPad 2. Apple's recent announcement that Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO might just create some opportunities for competitors to steal marketshare from the No.1 tablet leader. While there are many tablets on the market today, who are we kidding, along with the Galaxy Tab, the Motorola Xoom, soon to be owned by Google when the acquisition is finalized, are the only tablets that have the technology wherewithal and overall graphics to actually do any damage to iPad's market dominance. There are tablets in play for sure, and even rumors that a few others will pop up soon like Amazon, which all may have an impact, but right now, I think the Xoom and the Tab appear to be the two tablets that can leverage the transition period that Apple might just experience with a new captain in the cockpit.
It's no secret that when a top corporate visionary retires or vacates a position, upheaval is sure to follow. It's a rare exception that a company has smooth sailing when it puts a new captain in charge of the bridge. In many cases it takes years and the transition is not without some rough seas. But when the new exec is settled some good things do follow and in other cases the top honcho gets ousted. Now, I am not saying Tim Cook is going to fail; to the contrary, he is an Apple veteran who previously served as the company's chief operating officer. Prior to being officially handed the reins this past week, Cook had been at the helm directing the Apple troops since January while Jobs had been on medical leave.
Now, Cook and company need to keep their eyes on the likes of Samsung and Google, which have the greatest opportunity to take advantage of market uncertainty. While the announcement last week received mixed reaction on Wall Street, everyone will be watching to see if the leadership change will distract the U.S.-based company, so the pressure is on.
But as everyone knows, Samsung is facing some legal issues with Apple globally that is causing it some hiccups. Apple claims Samsung blatantly copied the design, look, and even feel of Apple devices like the iPhone and iPad, thereby infringing upon Apple's intellectual property. As a result of these claims the Apple injunction has literally stopped the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in almost all of Europe and Australia. Prior to this ongoing legal dispute, the Galaxy Tab Android 3.1 OS from Samsung started to give the Apple iPad a pretty nice run, putting a crimp in some global sales with its higher resolution screen and thinner design proving to be a very attractive tablet to consumers. Now with the pending Google acquisition of Motorola, only time will tell how it can impact the Xoom, and making it even more appealing to customers in the months ahead.
Only time will tell if Apple will continue to partner with the right companies to keep it smelling sweet with shareholders, consumers, and OEMs in the months and years ahead. And it will be even more interesting to see if Samsung and Google/Motorola can take advantage of this management change to step up their efforts and take a bite out of Apple.

IrisManager has been taking on the updates to make it just as good a backup manager as multiMAN. With each version released, IrisManager is being improved in some way, shape or form. Version 2.16 is no exception to this, as it implements a new payload as well as pulls a page from deank. Take a look at the changelog:
NOTE: This is an evaluation version: if it does not work, let me know and tell me which version of CFW using and at what point you fail
- New payload v8 syscall eliminating the syscall 36 and used instead to 8 redirections.
- Added Multiman method for disc-less from / APP_HOME (thanks for commenting DeanK how it works). This increases the compatibility.
If IrisManager is your choice of backup manager, you can grab it below. Remember that this is an evaluation version as noted by Estwald, so it may or may not work properly for you. If you don't want to deal with that, stay put on version 2.15.

A man being held at the Waukesha County Jail got himself into even more trouble thanks to a "small object" that "moved about" in the "groin area."
That object — a plastic bag of prescription medication, including Oxycodone — led to charges last week of felony bail jumping and misdemeanor violating state/county institution laws.
According to a criminal complaint, a jail correctional officer was performing a random check of Nicholas Graefe, 32, at 4:40 p.m. last Sept. 13. During a patdown, "in the groin area a small object moved about," according to the complaint. "It felt wrapped in plastic and made a particular noise."
Graefe removed the item and reluctantly dropped it to the floor, where the officer could see that it was a plastic bag with small circular pills. Moved to a strip search room, Graefe was required to remove his pants, and two more bags of pills fell out.
Overall, he possessed 59 Oxycodone pills, 15 Diazapam pills and nine Volipdem pills. He admitted to smuggling the pills into jail, according to the complaint.
Graefe was already in custody for a third offense OWI and was on probation for a felony conviction of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud from 2012.

---- — Lon Firchau's July 31 "In Response" column is unhinged from reality on multiple fronts.
On the 2011-12 budget: Gov. Dayton isn't obligated to sign any Republican budget bill because it's balanced, but should (and did) accept a compromise (meaning, both sides give some ground). Dayton proposed flexible spending ceilings, and halved his high-income tax increase proposal; throughout the legislative process, Republicans were utterly rigid on both taxes and spending. [1]
Furthermore, the Minnesota Poll (May 15, 2011) found 63 percent favored combined spending cuts and tax increases to balance the budget (Dayton's position), while 27 percent favored cuts only (the Republican position). Republicans, given their cult-like rigidity on taxes, with no DFL counterpart (i.e. rigid No Spending Cuts pledge) own the 2011 shutdown — and earned their 2012 election losses accordingly.
Programs for the poor and disabled "protected" — Baloney. Republicans proposed to zero out general sssistance funding for disabled adults (many homeless), [2] strip away MinnesotaCare (health care support) for low-income individuals and families and replace it with paltry, uncertain vouchers, [3] and cut myriad children's programs. [4]
State higher-education funding "up and down" – Very doubtful. The current fetish for cutting state higher-education investments began under (No New Taxes) Gov. Pawlenty and has continued. Since 2008, Minnesota's inflation-adjusted, per-student state higher education support has dropped 30 percent. [5] And yes, these cuts absolutely relate to No New Tax pledges [6] and skyrocketing tuitions. [7]
The budget changes aren't cuts — Really? Disabled adults kicked off assistance, students faced with ending higher-education dreams or putting themselves or families under crushing debts, poor children booted from health-care coverage — they and families will experience cuts, nothing less. Firchau's blindness to the human toll of Republican budget priorities is appalling — but not surprising.

The Recording Industry Association of America's effort to stop illicit file-trading suffered a major setback Friday when a federal appeals court ruled that the organization can no longer use copyright subpoenas to force Internet service providers to identify subscribers who are downloading music.
In the last year, the RIAA has used the power to subpoena ISPs for their subscriber information as a key tool in their fight against music piracy, filing civil lawsuits against the most active file-traders, forcing the defendants to settle and pay steep fines or face continued legal action.
Sarah Deutsh, an attorney for Internet service provider Verizon, heralded the ruling as a victory for Internet users. "Consumers' rights cannot be trampled upon in the quest to enforce [these copyrights]," she told the Associated Press.
Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA, decried the ruling. "This is a disappointing procedural decision, but it only changes the process by which we file lawsuits against online infringers," he said in a statement. "This decision in no way changes our right to sue, or the fact that those who upload or download copyrighted music without authorization are engaging in illegal activity.
"We can and will continue to file copyright infringement lawsuits against illegal file-sharers," he continued. "It unfortunately means we can no longer notify illegal file-sharers before we file lawsuits against them to offer the opportunity to settle outside of litigation."
Handed down by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the decision reversed an earlier ruling that allowed such subpoenas. It will force the RIAA to use more indirect, costly and time-consuming methods to identify file-traders.

TAMPA, Fla. — Any trip to Florida is a homecoming of sorts for Steve Spurrier.
He was born and raised in Tennessee and has lived in South Carolina the past seven years, but the Sunshine State is his adopted home, and the No. 11 Gamecocks practices here have seen a steady stream of visitors stopping by to see the Head Ball Coach.
One was Mike Pearson, who played on the offensive line on Spurriers final three Gator teams from 1999 to 2001. Pearsons visit reminded Spurrier of that 2001 team, his last at Florida. It finished the season 10-2, the same mark this South Carolina team holds heading into Tuesdays Outback Bowl against Michigan.
That Gators team was dominant first in the SEC in offense and defense, winner of the Orange Bowl and ranked No. 3 in the country after the season. Fast forward 11 years, and heres South Carolina at a very different 10-2. The Gamecocks are fourth in the conference in defense but 10th in offense.
There are all kinds of ways to be 10-2, Spurrier said. Thats why Im really proud of the team we have here at South Carolina this year. These guys have played pretty doggone well for the talent level we have.
The Gamecocks offense didnt put a player on this years All-SEC first team and put two on the second team (center T.J. Johnson and all-purpose player Ace Sanders). USCs yards-per-rush average (3.6) is the lowest in the SEC, and its passing offense is ranked seventh in the league (229.5 yards per game).
The numbers arent overly impressive, Spurrier said, but the result has been the second straight double-digit victory season in school history. The offense comes into the bowl game feeling like it has momentum in both areas of its attack, said run game coordinator Shawn Elliott and wide receivers coach Steve Spurrier Jr.
The offensive line has started the same front five for four straight games, which has coincided with a four-game winning streak.
Consistency is the biggest thing youve got to have, especially with your guys up front, Elliott said. We had some rotation problems early on. Mike Matulis got hurt. Cody Gibson went out sick. Then you didnt have a rotation. Different alignments, different guys playing beside each other causes concern. Now that weve had a four-game stretch where its been pretty much the same guys in there the whole time, we are feeling pretty confident.
Spurrier called the Gamecocks run blocking OK, not super.
The passing game got a boost against Clemson when Bruce Ellington caught a pair of touchdown passes and Ace Sanders caught another.
That was good for our guys, Spurrier Jr. said.
The strength of the Michigan defense statistically is its pass defense, which is ranked No. 2 in the nation, giving up 155.2 yards per game. The Wolverines rushing defense is ranked No. 56 in the nation, giving up 156 yards per game.
Those numbers wont be the deciding factor in South Carolinas game plan, though, Elliott said.
The game kind of dictates that, he said. If you find something you are doing successfully, you are going to stick with it.

Dr. Mohler's Blog: Youth Ministry
Monday, 30 October 2006
Fred Sanders is the man who said that Christians talk to God like they are Jesus Christ. I think he is right, but it has taken some labor to get there.
What Sanders is saying is what adoption means. And I have rarely believed in what adoption means.
Sometimes I do not really believe in adoption. It is as if I had a friend who had a cool, generous, and very wealthy Dad. He brings me into a relationship with his dad. They welcome me into the family. There are a lot of great benefits. But he is clearly a son to his dad and I am not.
Sometimes I get close: I had a friend who was adopted as a child. He was welcomed into the family, treated with respect, given gifts — but it was clear that he was not a full member of the family. That is sort of what I have thought adoption means.
But Scripture says God sent His Son into the world that we may be adopted as sons. God gave the Spirit of his Son to us that we may cry out, "Abba, Father." Those are the words Jesus used to address his Father in the most agonizing moment of his life.
I now relate to God as Jesus relates to God because the Son of the Father shed his blood for me.
The scholar Jeremias has noted that no one called God "Father" until Jesus. And that Jesus called God "Father" every time he prayed but one. More than that, he spoke about his Father, trusted his Father, knew his Father's eternal love, and obeyed his Father.
Sanders puts it like this:
Sonship was always within God, and it came to be on earth as it is in heaven, in the person of the incarnate Christ.
Eternal sonship becomes incarnate sonship and brings created sonship into being.
Come to find out, this is what many have believed before us. Take this quote from the Heidelberg Catechism. In answer to the question, "What do you mean when you say you believe in God the Father Almighty?", we hear this: It means that . . .
. . . the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who out of nothing created heaven and earth and everything in them, who still upholds and rules them by His eternal counsel and providence, is my God and Father because of Christ His Son.
Did you catch that? Let me clip it out and make it terse:
. . . the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is my God and Father because of Christ His Son.
Ursinus, commenting on the Catechism elsewhere, is bold to say:
When I say, I believe in God, I mean, I believe that he is my God, that is, whatever he is and has is all for my salvation. Or, to believe God, speaking properly, is to believe a certain person to be God, according to all his attributes. To believe in God, is to be persuaded that he will make all things attributed to him subservient to my salvation, for the sake of his Son.
God is for us, because of Christ his Son. All that he is for Christ his Son he is for us.
If that is true, why do I worry? why do I fear? why do I, first things in the morning, prefer the company of email and twitter to his company?
Be bold. Believe all that Christ has won for you and given to you. Pray like it is true.

DOVER, Del.- Delaware veterans came out in huge numbers Thursday to ask lawmakers to change the state's laws on video lottery machines.
Back in November, the state cracked down on the devices in places like VFWs and Moose lodges - citing issues over regulation and payout systems. That crack down was unexpected. These organizations had been operating these machines for years. But the state was letting it slide. Now the vets want something done.
They marched around the capital carrying signs and a message to lawmakers: "make our gaming machines legal." There were hundreds of veterans from across the state. Rick Norman came up from Seaford."This is something that's been allowed to happen for years," he said. "We're all non-profits. We're all here to support our communities, our youths. Without this we're in trouble. I think they need to step up and give us the support.""These organizations put a lot of money back into their respective communities," said Mike Havel, from Smyrna.A handful of lawmakers, including speaker of the house Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf, D-Rehoboth., talked to the vets. The group explained they're committed to finding a solution.
"The governor has directed the secretary of finance to look into the matter and have a report for us," said Rep. Bill Carson, D-Smyrna. "We hope to have that very soon."Lawyers for the general assembly are also taking a look. It could be a while before an official proposal is on the table. Norman already knows what he'd like it to be.
"They need to grandfather this back to where we were and allow us to continue to operate."And he says if that means more state oversight - so be it.
A number of vets went into leg hall to watch the House in session. The speaker acknowledged them and pledged to work on the issue.

Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic with regard to Carnell Lake being fired.
Also why keep Haley? Not much has changed for the better during his tenure. And sorry, but the few times I've heard Butler speak, he sounds like an egotistical meat head.
Urban Meyer IMO could be another Bobby Petrino and just walk out on the team if something more interesting popped up.
If Butler is more of the same then he needs to go too. We need someone on the defense who will think out of the box and really switch things up.

Dr. Len's Cancer Blog
News reports covering a prostate cancer study this week in the New England Journal of Medicine have all pretty much come out with the same message: men diagnosed with prostate cancer who had radical surgery did much better than men who were assigned to "watchful waiting" after they were diagnosed.
But guess what? There's a critical fact that seemed to be missing in much of the coverage I saw. And that fact is this: the men who were given the "watchful waiting" as described in the study never received any curative treatment. Let me repeat: No curative treatment. That is a much different approach to watchful waiting than we currently recommend in the United States, where watchful waiting after a diagnosis of prostate cancer usually means offering curative treatment when the prostate cancer changes its behavior.

I attended a meeting in Washington this past Wednesday that got me to thinking about the fact that as we revolutionize cancer research and treatment, we are also going to have to revolutionize cancer care. And that may prove to be an even more daunting task than finding new treatments for the disease itself.
The meeting was sponsored by a collaboration called "Turning The Tide Against Cancer". The organizers brought together experts from a variety of disciplines ranging from insurance companies and economists to advocacy groups and highly regarded cancer specialists to discuss policy solutions to support innovation in cancer research and care. Walking in, I anticipated this was going to be another one of those sessions where we talked about funding for research, bringing research into clinical trials, and having patients get access to new drugs. But I was wrong. The discussions quickly steered into a different direction: what do we need to do to make the cancer care system work for patients?
Of course there were the continuing themes of "big data" and the impact of genomics on drug development and patient care, but a surprising amount of the discussion centered around new payment models, quality of care, and fundamental redesign of medical care to become more patient centric. And although we talked a lot about data gathering and analysis, what stuck with me was the redesign piece. I thought the discussion around redesign would focus on personalized medicine, but we spent a lot of time on changing the fundamental structure of cancer care and payment.
How are those two linked? Did we miss our focus?
The answer? If we don't change the way the system is working, we won't realize the promise of personalized medicine. Seems pretty simple and straight forward until you start thinking about the implications. More...

We've all heard the phrase, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Well, that saying may hold particular relevance while reviewing a new research report published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The report is an important one. It is an 18 year follow-up of a study designed to show whether the use of the drug finasteride could reduce the incidence and deaths from prostate cancer. The study was called the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial and when it was initially reported in 2003 it showed that the drug could reduce the incidence of prostate cancer by almost 25%. However, there was a catch: there was actually an increase of almost 27% in the number of high grade-or more serious-prostate cancers in the group treated with finasteride compared to those men who did not get the drug. The men in this trial were followed very closely. Since this trial was done in an era when PSA testing to find prostate cancer "early" was part of routine care, these men were screened regularly with the PSA test.
The originally reported results of the trial meant two things to the researchers: first, finasteride was successful in reducing the frequency of prostate cancer, but most of that decrease was in the lower grade, less harmful forms of the disease, and second, it raised the question of whether the drug actually promoted more serious forms of prostate cancer. Some experts argued that in fact there weren't more numerous high grade tumors, only that finasteride made it easier to find them thanks to the fact that it shrinks the prostate.
The debate on the relative merits of using finasteride has continued since. Suffice to say, the use of the drug didn't get much traction. In 2011, the Food and Drug Administration added information to the drug label that finasteride and similar drugs could increase the frequency of more lethal forms of prostate cancer and that the drugs were not approved for prostate cancer prevention.
Meanwhile, organizations such as the American Cancer Society have suggested that men should make an informed decision as to whether or not they really want to be screened for prostate cancer with PSA testing, and the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends that men should not be screened at all for the disease. But the impact of finasteride on reducing the incidence and deaths from prostate cancer and "the rest of the story" remained unanswered. At least until now. More...

A newspaper story last week caught my eye when it headlined: "Senators Revive Push for End-of-Life-Care Planning." It reported on new legislation making the rounds in Washington to address care planning for those with advanced illnesses.
You remember "end of life care planning," don't you? It was part of the Affordable Care Act debate several years ago, and quickly became translated into "death panels" where opponents made the argument that the government wanted to help people decide not to receive needed treatment. That was a moment that will live in my memory forever, and it's not a pleasant memory.
So here we are with this new bill, and a headline that suggests we may be headed down the same path once again. This time, however, I hope we can have a more rational and appropriate discussion about an issue that is rapidly evolving in cancer care, supported by medical evidence and medical professionals, not to mention organizations like the American Cancer Society who believe the time has come to engage our patients, their families and caregivers, and the nation at large in understanding the need for compassion as we care for patients with serious illness, including cancer.

There was a memorable scene in the movie "The Graduate" from 1967. You may know it or have heard of it, when the older man turns to the college graduate and says the future is all about one word: "plastics."
Well, plastics may have been then, but this is now. And the core themes I keep hearing these days there are two central ones that our becoming our new "plastics" in medicine: genomics and big data. Words that didn't mean much to most people a year or so ago now occupy front and center discussions at every level, not to mention are the topics of a number of meetings I have attended recently.
This past week I went to one of those meetings (sponsored by e Health Initiative) where over 450 people spent two days hearing from experts about the meaning, uses, and precautions that come along with "big data" in medical care. (Interestingly, there were also several presentations on the intersection of genomics and big data. So the two are definitely not mutually exclusive.)
Not that medicine is unique: big data is transforming much of the way we live and the way we experience life. What is different about medical care is that we are so far behind everyone else when it comes to adopting and effectively using information technology and data analysis to improve healthcare. But that is quickly changing. The power of technology is just beginning to impact health care as hospitals and doctors' offices increasingly adopt (and adapt to) health information technology, but it takes lots of resources and commitment--both human and financial--to make that happen.

As we walk the halls and sit in the lectures at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, there's an elephant in the room. It is right there in front of us, but not many of us seem willing to talk about it. Fewer still are making any commitments to do something about it.
So what is this ubiquitous juxtaposition that is right in front of us but we can't seem to see?
It is the contrast between incredibly sophisticated science and computer data that will help us understand cancer and its treatment vs. the reality that we can't have medical records that really work. It is the fact that we have million dollar machines to treat cancer but we have tens of thousands of lives lost to cervical cancer in underdeveloped and underserved countries that could be saved with saved using vinegar. It is cancer care's version of the "guns vs. butter" debate of the 1960s. More...

Every convention and large meeting has a theme, and at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago the theme is "Building Bridges To Conquer Cancer." But for me, the theme as articulated in my blog the other day is "Is it really different this time?" Some agree with me and some don't, but that's OK. I am wearing a badge that says I am a "35 year member of ASCO" (I actually have been attending these meetings longer than that) so I perhaps have a bit of a different perspective than those younger than me. And there is plenty of commentary to back up my well-meaning and hopefully thought provoking conservatism.
In one of the major "award" lectures yesterday, Dr. Charles Sawyers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York pointed out the disappointment we have had with many of our newer targeted therapies that once held the promise of truly making cancer a chronic disease. They are exciting in the beginning, but for many patients the responses are not long enough. As Dr. Sawyers noted, cancer cells eventually win the battle, and become resistant to the treatmentIn this context I was having another one of those ubiquitous hallway discussions with one of my friends and former colleagues who now runs a major advocacy/research organization focused on melanoma when she touted the new research and drugs available to treat advanced melanoma. And I said the words, "Is it really different this time?" to which she responded, "Yes, it is." And I said I wasn't so certain. So at her persistent urging, I went to the melanoma session yesterday to see for myself. And I sent my friend an email where I wrote, "You win" and to which she responded, "Told you so."
What changed? What made me eat the proverbial crow? Why is it different this time? More...

Another year and another annual meeting for the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago. This is a meeting that regularly attracts many thousands of doctors, researchers, pharmaceutical folks and others interested in the science and business of cancer from around the globe to learn, to discuss, to persuade, to educate on the progress being made in clinical cancer research and treatment.
And like every year, there are themes that emerge, that tend to dominate the discussions. And there are other themes that aren't so visible, that don't get as much attention yet in my mind are equally important as they reflect not only on the item of the moment but on how we deliver on the promises we have made in the past and the hopes we all have for the future.
Clearly, the dominant and visible theme at this year's gathering is personalized medicine.
What strikes me about this topic is that over the past year it has gone from a "niche" discussion to a dominant theme not only here at ASCO but everywhere I turn. I am even seeing routine television news shows and commentators talking about the promise of personalized medicine. A talk that I planned six months ago to deliver in a couple of weeks from now in Boston where I was going to discuss (once again) the promise of personalized medicine in cancer care is now passé. Everyone knows about it, thanks to the incredible coverage it has been receiving literally everywhere. Now anyone who has been paying attention to the evening news could give that talk. The topic is ubiquitous.
So what is personalized medicine? At heart, what this is all about is harnessing our exploding knowledge of the human genome and applying it to the treatment of severe disease for individuals based on genetic analysis. Our focus today is on cancer, but other diseases such as degenerative brain diseases also will be impacted by our knowledge of the human genome.
As I sat in a lecture yesterday afternoon on the topics of genomics and personalized medicine, I was amazed about how much knowledge we have garnered in what appears to be such a short period of time. We now are hearing about new approaches to analyze how cancer cells work to discover master regulatory cells. The promise, of course, now that we have insight into the pathways of how cancer cells work internally is that we can target our efforts to those master regulators and conquer them, thus converting the cancer cell back to normality. Sounds simple, but it's not. And it has taken a lot of research to get us to that point.
So one comes away from those discussions imbued with a new enthusiasm that the cure is around the corner. We are almost there. We will succeed--hopefully in the very near term.
But then I pinch myself and say, "Really?" More...

One hundred years.
That is a long time. And although thriving, remaining relevant and engaged for 100 years is a remarkable accomplishment for any organization, the American Cancer Society today takes pride not only in reflecting on the accomplishments of the last 100 years but also in our commitment to continue the fight, and make this century cancer's last.
A lot will be written about the remarkable accomplishments of the Society over the past century. The American Cancer Society takes pride in the fact that it has been able to serve millions of people during that time. It has put its mark on numerous improvements in the science and treatment of cancer. We have made incredible strides in understanding cancer, what causes it and what influences it, including the role of tobacco and overweight/obesity. We have funded 46 Nobel Prize winners at some time during their careers, frequently when they needed a start to develop their theory which led to great discoveries. And we have funded numerous investigators who have made other important and lifesaving contributions to understanding cancer and reducing its burden.
But the list is not complete. There is still too much we don't understand about cancer, its causes, and its impacts on patients, their families, their communities. We have come to a "tipping point" in the cycle where we have unlocked the genetic code of cancer and are just beginning to transform that information into lifesaving treatments. We wrestle with the early detection and prevention of some cancers, at a time when we thought--incorrectly, as it turns out--that simply finding cancer early was enough. We struggle with finding a way to get access to lifesaving or life comforting treatments to those who are diagnosed with cancer but don't have the resources to follow their journey in the best way possible. We have millions of survivors, yet understand too little about the problems they face long term, let alone being able to provide them with a system of care to respond to their needs. We have made remarkable progress in keeping children with cancer alive, free of disease into adulthood, but we haven't acknowledged the terrible price some of them have to pay from the side effects of their treatments.

Coming to an office near you: a new test that can "confidently" predict whether or not you need to have aggressive therapy for your newly diagnosed prostate cancer.
That's what the press reports would lead you to believe. And it's really going to catch your attention if you're one of the tens of thousands of men who will have to decide what to do if you are diagnosed with prostate cancer that has what we call "favorable characteristics." And with the test coming to market, you would assume that your doctor would have a good understanding of whether or not it works based on the available studies and information. But guess what? The likelihood of that is pretty low, because your doctor has probably been reading the same press reports as the rest of us, since the scientific studies that doctors should rely on to make decisions about this test are simply not available. But the website promoting the test is there for all to see.
Do I sound a bit skeptical? Well, maybe I am. Because if the PSA experience has taught us anything about testing for prostate cancer, it is that we should learn the evidence before we leap. And in this current circumstance, we don't have much-if anything-to learn from outside of company press releases and promotional materials and media reports coming from the scientific meeting where an abstract (#2131) of the research supporting the test was presented this week.

Definition: The study of criminal behavior purported to occur during the unconscious state of sleep. The behavior may include murder, rape, assault, and other criminal acts. Certain sleep disorders, such as rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder or other abnormal sleep behaviors called parasomnias, might predispose an individual to performing physical actions while remaining asleep. These activities might also occur with the use of certain hypnotic medications, such as Ambien (zolpidem). When these actions result in a crime being committed, experts may be called in to investigate whether an underlying sleep disorder could be to blame. Sleepwalking has been a recognized defense in American law since the Albert Jackson Tirrell Case of 1846. Some criminals might attempt a similar legal defense that can be medically disproven.
Examples:Sleep forensics was able to prove that he did not kill his wife while sleepwalking.

Don't know about you ,but I am so happy to be out of my
house!!! I had a lot of free time over the weekend to play around with some new
recipes. I am seriously over stews, chili, soup and casseroles of any kind! I
gained 7 pounds just being inside eating and drinking! So this week I really
want to eat light and keep it simple as possible.
Today I am featuring a little taste of the Mediterranean. I
absolutely love Greek food. My aunt married into a Greek family and I learned
how to prepare traditional Greek fare at an early age. Greek food definitely
stands out. The ingredients are bold and distinctive. Garlic Onions Lemon Mint
Dill Oregano olive oil… but when combined the right way have a well
balanced flavor. They all seem to
compliment each other and work to enhance the main ingredients.
I knew I definitely wanted to do some type of sandwich. I
was playing around with the idea of combining all the elements of Greek
dressing but making it into a spread to go on the bread in place of a
traditional mayonnaise .I wanted to
incorporate the salty savory feta with light fresh lemon ,tangy garlic and aromatic oregano. So I did!
And instead of putting those ingredients into olive oil for a dressing I
mixed them with a little Olive-Oil MAYONAISE
and created a "Greek dressing spread" . To
highlight the flavors and give the sandwich some some depth, I piled on some
peppery arugula and sliced Bermuda onions then served it over a toasted olive
and rosemary focaccia bread! I reached out to the Sandwich Master himself
Justin Matera to get his opinion . (Justin along with his brother owns The
Hungry Whale which will soon be the Longboard Café and Bar ..presently under
construction )Justin really liked the sandwich and gave me the thumbs up! He
enjoyed it so much so that he will feature his version of the sandwich as a
special along with the specialty sandwiches he is known for when the Long Board
Café open's up in the spring! And because they will now offer an extensive beer
and wine selection may I recommend pairing it with a nice Spring Ale !! I will
keep everyone posted on the opening!
Roast beef sliced rare
Thin sliced Bermuda Onions
Olive and Rosemary Foccacia bread
1 tsp minced garlic
1tsp grated lemon rind
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
¼ cup Olive oil Mayonaise
½ cup crumbled Feta
1tsp fresh Oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
In a small bowl mix together mayo, feta , lemon rind, lemon
juice,oregano , salt and pepper. Toast the focaccia bread and then spread the
mayo mixture. Stack the roast beef , arugula and onions to taste. ENJOY!!****If
you can't find an olive and focaccia bread then simply take some fresh rosemary
and little olive oil and some kalamata olives a pinch of salt and blend in a
food processor then brush over any nice crusty bread for the same flavor

OpenSSH software tools support the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols. The tools provide shell functions where network traffic is encrypted and authenticated. OpenSSH is based on client and server architecture. It runs the sshd daemon process on the AIX host and waits for the connection from clients. It supports public key and private key pairs for authentication and encryption of channels to ensure secure network connections and host-based authentication. For more information about OpenSSH, see the following Web site: http://www.openssh.org This site provides the man page information for the OpenSSH commands. To set up the tools in the past, it was necessary to download the binaries from the z/OS UNIX Tools and Toys Web site. The following files were needed: openssh-3.5p1-ebcdic-bin.pax.tgz openssl-0.9.7a-ebcdic-bin.pax Then you had to put these files into a temporary directory on z/OS UNIX. You could use ftp to download them. To unpack the openssh binaries, the following commands could be used: pax -pe -rvf openssh-3.5p1-ebcdic-bin.pax.tgz pax -pe -rvf openssl-0.9.7a-ebcdic-bin.pax The default output directory was /usr/local. Important: OpenSSH is now available as a unpriced feature, named IBM Ported Tools for z/OS, that runs on z/OS V1R4 or higher. This means it is no longer necessary to get it from the OpenSSH Web site, and it is officially supported. The initial version was OpenSSH 3.5p1 (based on OpenSSL 0.9.7b). With APAR OA10315 it gets upgraded to OpenSSH 3.8.1p1. This is related to OpenSSL 0.9.7d. IBM Ported Tools for z/OS User's Guide , SA22-7985 presents information you need to set up and use the OpenSSH. 10.1.4 The ssh daemon The ssh daemon, sshd, is listening for incoming connections. It usually uses TCP/IP port 22. First we generate private and public keys, as shown in Figure 10-3 on page 388. Each host has a host-specific RSA key (normally 1024 bits) used to identify the host. Additionally, when the daemon starts, it generates a server RSA key (normally 768 bits). This key is normally regenerated every hour if it has been used, and is never stored on disk. Whenever a client connects, the daemon responds with its public host and server keys. The client compares the RSA host key against its own database to verify that it has not changed. The client then generates a 256-bit random number. It encrypts this random number using both the host key and the server key, and sends the encrypted number to the server. Both sides then use this random number as a session key that is used to encrypt all further communications in the session. The rest of the session is encrypted using a conventional cipher, currently Blowfish or 3DES, with 3DES being used by default. The client selects the encryption algorithm to use from those offered by the server. Next, the server and the client enter an authentication dialog. The Chapter 10.

Flint schools require staff to pick up checks
FLINT, Mich. (AP) - There is no direct deposit this week for teachers and other employees in the Flint school district.
They were required to pick up their check in person Friday as the struggling district confirms that it's paying people who actually work. Spokesman Brian Smith tells The Flint Journal it's too early to know if any problems were uncovered.
He says there might be legitimate reasons for someone who didn't pick up a check.
Teacher John Peplinski says he supports any effort to ensure money is being spent properly. Flint schools must erase a $10 million deficit by 2018.

Seventh Annual Public Interest Organization Meeting
January 30-31, 2006 – Bethesda, Maryland
Eliminating Post-Transfusion Hepatitis C Virus
Dr. Harvey J. Alter, Chief, Infectious Diseases Section, Department of Transfusion Medicine, NIH Clinical Center, summarized the history of research on hepatitis viral infection. He focused on the seminal research findings that eventually led to elimination of post-transfusion infection of the liver from hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Hepatitis: Research and Results
The research that ultimately led to identification of HCV began in the 1960s in the laboratories of two NIH scientists—Dr. Alter, who worked on transfusion medicine in the NIH blood bank, and Dr. Baruch Blumberg, a geneticist who studied inherited differences in seroproteins from tissue samples collected from around the world. Together, they collaborated on studies of blood from an Australian aborigine that opened the door to understanding hepatitis.
Dr. Alter noted that, after years of futile research by many scientists, he and Dr. Blumberg pursued a previously unknown antigen that they discovered in the aborigine's blood. Their initial laboratory and clinical studies suggested that a person's ability to respond to the antigen is inherited. In subsequent studies of institutionalized children with Down syndrome, they proved that the antigen was an infectious agent that had been transmitted in the crowded living conditions. When a laboratory worker in Dr. Blumberg's laboratory became ill after a needle stick, the scientists were able to define the antigen as a new hepatitis agent, which they termed hepatitis B virus (HBV).
Dr. Alter noted that, in the late 1960s and 1970s, the NHLBI supported a series of prospective studies of transfusion-associated hepatitis in individuals undergoing open-heart surgery. These studies led to the determination that blood donors who were paid for their blood were at high risk of having, and therefore transmitting, hepatitis. As a result, blood centers stopped using paid-donor blood and by 1970 the United States had an all-volunteer blood donor system. At this time, the first-generation test for the hepatitis B antigen was introduced, which resulted in a dramatic decrease in post-transfusion hepatitis infection. By 1973, a third-generation test was available and, in the course of assaying stored samples of blood, scientists were able to identify another previously unknown hepatitis virus, which they termed "non-B." That virus was subsequently renamed "non-A, non-B" after scientists discovered the hepatitis A virus in 1974.
Scientists studied the non-A, non-B hepatitis virus for 15 years, from 1975 to 1990, to determine its structure, composition, and infectivity. The studies included viral inoculation of chimpanzees, which became infected but not ill, followup of an infected individual who recovered from acute hepatitis, liver biopsies, and testing of stored samples. In 1989, cloning studies by Chiron Corporation resulted in the detection of HCV as the cause of non-A, non-B hepatitis. With the development of increasingly more sensitive tests for HCV, scientists were able to reduce the rate of post-transfusion HCV infection to near zero by 1997.
HCV Infection
Currently, HCV causes approximately 15 percent of all cases of acute hepatitis. It is the main cause of chronic liver disease around the world, accounting for 42 percent of cases by itself and for 22 percent of cases in association with alcohol use. Dr. Alter noted that HCV is the leading indicator for liver transplantation because it causes persistent infection in 70-85 percent of affected individuals.
The three major patterns of transfusion-associated HCV are (i) acute, but resolving infection (in 15-20 percent of individuals infected); (ii) persistent, chronic, and progressive, though relatively asymptomatic, infection (in 45-65 percent); and (iii) rapid-developing chronic infection (in 20-30 percent, usually elderly persons). Dr. Alter noted that the outcomes for individuals infected with HCV largely depend on their age at the time of infection. HCV infection associated with other infections (e.g., HIV) or conditions (e.g., alcohol use) has a far worse prognosis than HCV infection in individuals with no co-morbidities.
Treatment for HCV
Dr. Alter noted that the availability of effective treatment for HCV infection is changing the picture of the disease. Use of interferon is especially promising, for 50-55 percent of the individuals treated can be completely cured of the infection. Dr. Alter elaborated on the prospects for individuals receiving treatment. He noted that 20 percent of individuals acutely infected with HCV will spontaneously recover, while 80 percent become carriers. Among carriers, 72 percent will have a favorable outcome, and treatment will be successful in approximately 50 percent. Dr. Alter noted that the prospects for individuals with HCV infection are therefore good and will become even better as treatment for HCV infection improves.
Still, HCV infection is a major problem. Globally, 1-3 percent of the world's population, which amounts to millions of people, are infected with HCV and lack effective treatment. Dr. Alter commented that medical personnel have different views of HCV disease—while a blood banker considers it a mild disease, a transplant surgeon considers it a severe complication.
Liver BiopsyDr. Alter noted that, currently, no markers for liver fibrosis exist and liver biopsy is the only way to diagnose this condition. For patients infected with HCV, he suggested an initial biopsy and follow-up biopsies every 5 years.
Patient StudiesIn response to questions, Dr. Alter suggested the need for a national follow-up study of patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia who have received transfusions and have liver fibrosis. In addition, he indicated the need to clarify the relationship between HCV infection and autoimmune hepatitis.
TattoosDr. Alter noted that prior to the 1960s and 1970s, transmission of hepatitis occurred primarily through needle sticks and tattoos. With the use of disposable needles and tattoo inks, the risk of transmission via those routes has largely disappeared.

Now this is territory for a real shootout. There are obviously a lot of goalies the players do not want to face.
This starts with Roberto Luongo and it probably has a lot to do with his play in the last couple of weeks. He's been hot and has been reminding the league why he's one of the best in the game.
Then Tim Thomas and Ryan Miller are virtually in a tie. It must be quite a thrill for Thomas, who is coming back from a year where people wondered if he was nearing the end. It's clear that is not the case now.
Finally Henrik Lunqvist, who is doing pretty well this year. He leads the league in shutouts with 7 and has a save percenge of .924.What do you think? Join the discussion below.
Questions for the poll were written by Hockey Night in Canada and the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA). The questions were circulated to players by the NHLPA. The responses were compiled by staff members of the NHLPA and forwarded to Hockey Night in Canada. 318 players responded to the questionnaire.

Two things. One, to save money, two, there are a lot of pretty good reasonably priced phono stages out there today. Far more than only a few years ago. Why make a digital guy pay for a phono stage, and why provide one for a guy who will probably buy an outboard unit anyway.

get a phono pre better than integrated.
Haven't you heard? Vinyl is dead. Nobody listens to records anymore, so why waste chassis space with a phono stage? CD's and mp3's are so much better than vinyl for their clean sound.
I'm just glad I've got a couple of Carver C1 preamps that have excellent phono stages. It's nice having seperate inputs for MM or MC cartridges.
Lots of Carver stuff and a pair of LSi9's
I'm thinking that they disappeared shortly after the "8-Track" selector switch.

We like these frames because they are perfect to use with our 13x19 printer. We received several that were broken through shipping but "Get Smart Products" Immediately sent us new ones! We've had several that have gotten the glass broken, but for the price they're great!

Great frame, but slightly smaller than 13x19
Jun 17, 2014 | By T.H.
This company has amazing customer service and the frames are a good quality for the cost, but be aware they are slightly smaller than 13x19. My 13x19 prints are forced to slightly bend upwards when I install the glass. If not for this these frames are wonderful. It simply causes the print when viewed from a side angle to appear sort of lumpy. This could be corrected by ever so slightly trimming the print, but I don't have a paper cutter.

I am really happy with my purchase and will continue to shop here. My 13 x 19 frame was delivered quicker than expected and I appreciate the fact that it was thoroughly secured prior to being shipped(bubble wrap, a spacious box to allow for extra padding and cushioning). Thanks for everything
