The gallbladder (or cholecyst, sometimes gall bladder) is a pear-shaped organ that stores about 50 ml of bile (or "gall") until the body needs it for digestion.
The gallbladder is about 100 to 120 mm long in humans and appears dark green because of its contents (bile), rather than its tissue. It is connected to the liver and the duodenum by the biliary tract.
- The cystic duct connects the gallbladder to the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct.
- The common bile duct then joins the pancreatic duct, and enters through the hepatopancreatic ampulla at the major duodenal papilla.[2][3]
- The fundus of the gallbladder is the part farthest from the duct, located by the lower border of the liver [4]. It's at the same level as the transpyloric plane.
Microscopic anatomy
The different layers of the gallbladder are as follows:
- The gallbladder has a simple columnar epithelial lining characterized by recesses called Aschoff's recesses, which are pouches inside the lining.
- Under the epithelium there is a layer of connective tissue (lamina propria).
- Beneath the connective tissue is a wall of smooth muscle (muscularis externa) that contracts in response to cholecystokinin, a peptide hormone secreted by the duodenum.
- There is essentially no submucosa separating the connective tissue from serosa and adventitia.
Section References[5]
The gallbladder stores about 50 ml (1.7 US fluid ounces / 1.8 Imperial fluid ounces) of bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK). The bile, produced in the liver, emulsifies fats and neutralizes acids in partly digested food.
After being stored in the gallbladder the bile becomes more concentrated than when it left the liver, increasing its potency and intensifying its effect on fats. Most digestion occurs in the duodenum.
Role in disease
- Cholestasis is the blockage in the supply of bile into the digestive tract. It can be "intrahepatic" (the obstruction is in the liver) or "extrahepatic" (outside the liver). It can lead to jaundice, and is identified by the presence of elevated bilirubin level that is mainly conjugated.
- Biliary colic is when a gallstone blocks either the common bile duct or the duct leading into it from the gallbladder.
- Up to 25% of all people have gallstones (cholelithiasis), composed of lecithin and bile acids. These can cause abdominal pain, usually in relation with a meal, as the gallbladder contracts and gallstones pass through the bile duct.
- Acute or chronic inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis) causes abdominal pain. 90% of cases of acute cholecystitis are caused by the presence of gallstones. The actual inflammation is due to secondary infection with bacteria of an obstructed gallbladder, with the obstruction caused by the gallstone.
- When gallstones obstruct the common bile duct (choledocholithiasis), the patient develops jaundice and liver cell damage. It can be a medical emergency, requiring endoscopic or surgical treatment such as a cholecystectomy. Most gallstones are eventually passed naturally, though the passing is typically quite painful.
- A rare clinical entity is ileus (bowel) obstruction by a large gallstone, or gallstone ileus. This condition develops in patients with longstanding gallstone disease, in which the gallbladder forms a fistula with the digestive tract. Large stones pass into the bowel, and generally block the gut at the level of Treitz' ligament or the ileocecal valve, two narrow points in the digestive tract. The treatment is surgical.
- Cancer of the gallbladder is a rare but highly fatal disease. It has been associated with gallstone disease, estrogens, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and obesity. Despite aggressive modern surgical approaches, advanced imaging techniques, and endoscopy, nearly 90% of patients die from advanced stages of the disease and experience pain, jaundice, weight loss, and ascites.
- Polyps (growths) are sometimes detected during diagnostic tests for gallbladder disease. Small gallbladder polyps (up to 10 mm) pose little or no risk, but large ones (greater than 15 mm) pose some risk for cancer, so the gallbladder should be removed. Patients with polyps 10 mm to 15 mm have a lower risk but they should still discuss removal of their gallbladder with their physician. Of special note is a condition called primary sclerosing cholangitis, which causes inflammation and scarring in the bile duct. It is associated with a lifetime risk of 7% to 12% for gallbladder cancer. The cause is unknown, although primary sclerosing cholangitis tends to strike younger men who have ulcerative colitis. Polyps are often detected in this condition and have a very high likelihood of malignancy.

Double click the file "PLATINUM V2.00 splitted install.part1.exe". In the appearing window, type in the installation path and click the "Installieren" button. ("Install" button). Sorry, but the installation window is in german. Nothing more is to do. All three installation files become installed automatically. If the installation is finished you have to copy the complete Terrain folder into the Resource folder (not into the Tools Resource folder). If you don't have the Terrain folder somewhere, you have to download the Terrain datas from the download section or from an already existing installation of USAF. The Terrain datas are the same for every Version.
Then go to the Jane's Combat Simulations folder and create a desktop icon from the "USAF Mini Pro PLATINUM.exe" This is the file you have to launch to start PLATINUM.
With the first launch of PLATINUM you will get the "Incompatible Game Version" message. This is normal; push the "Start USAF MiniPro PLATINUM" button again and all will work fine.
Now you have to install the Patch V2.02 to get the latest version of PLATINUM.
PLATINUM Patch V2.02 Instructions
Unzip the dowloaded file.
You get the Patch.exe file
Execute this file to install the patch (needs about 5 seconds only). The installation window is this time in english.
The place to install the patch is the folder which contains the "Jane's Combat Simulations" folder, not inside the "Jane's Combat Simulations" folder.
You are set now; PLATINUM V2.02 is ready to fly.

Here's a quick overview of what went on on
tonight, in Week 1's competition.
Chelsea & Mark led it off with a nice routine, graceful if a bit uneven. (21) Wendy & Tony were game, but she started off sluggish and awkward, though she warmed up a bit. (14) Hines & Kym had lots of energy; he looked like a big kid out there! (21) Petra & Dmitry were tres elegant...she may have stumbled a bit in one part. (18) Romeo & Chelsie proved he could outdo his infamous father; he had the right moves, and wore the right SHOES! (19)
Sugar Ray & Anna were game in spots, even if he looked stiff and awkward. (17) Kendra & Louis also had awkward moments, and she was also maybe a bit uncontrolled. (18) Ralph & Karina were the surprises of the night; his moves flowed well, his performance was excellent. (24) Chris & Cheryl managed to get some hip action in there, but he still looked a bit like a lumbering bear. (19) Mike & Lacey...well...can you say "The Situation, Part Deux"? (13) And Kirstie and Maks...personality all the way! Her moves were surprisingly strong! (23)
Ralph & Karina were at the top of the leaderboard, while Mike & Lacey occupy the cellar. No elimination this week, tune in next Monday when everyone dances again!

We're all back for Week #2, just before the first elimination! (Scores this week are, first, this week's score, and second, the combined total.)
Sugar Ray & Anna improved this week with their jive; his sync was fair to middlin', and he was doing his best to keep up. (17, 34) Kendra & Louis had some sloppy footwork in the quickstep; she might have been trying too hard, her smile looked a little forced. (19, 37) Chelsea & Mark were better this week in their dance; it was supposed to be a jive, but there wasn't much "jive" to it. (18, 39) Chris & Cheryl lightened up a lot on the quickstep; he was fun to watch, even if they seemed to run out of space in the corner at one point. (23, 42)
Petra & Dmitry turned in a jive in which her long legs kinda got in the way; it was decent, but not great. (18, 36) Kirstie & Maks gave us a bouncy quickstep that was in the groove; some slight goofs, but they didn't detract much. (20, 43) Mike & Lacey had some good stretches in their jive...but not many. (17, 30) And a cute intro to Romeo & Chelsie's quickstep led to a good dance that he had fun with; his posture was the only real negative. (23, 42)
Wendy & Tony made a great comeback with their quickstep; the footwork was good and it got cheeky in spots, but she did lose steam in the middle. (17, 31) Ralph & Karina showed plenty of character in the jive; he has lots of talent, but seemed a bit frenzied in spots. (21, 45) Hines & Kym finished with a smooth, enthusiastic quickstep; his footwork was good but a teensy bit off from time to time. (23, 44)
Again, Ralph & Karina were the high scorers, and Mike & Lacey were the low scorers. One of them will go home tomorrow night!

In Week 2's results show, we got to meet the new DWTS Dance Troupe: Peta, Tristan, Ted, Nicole, Oksana, and Kiki. Think of them as the New Mutants to Our Pros' X-Men. They're good, too.
Plus we got two dance music performances by Chris Brown.
And the first eliminated:
Mike & Lacey

Stay tuned for next week!

For Week 3, the celebs had to tell a

The guest performers tonight were OneRepublic (two numbers, one accompanied by Lacey & Mark, the other by the Troupe) and Selena Gomez, who sang to accompany Mark & Chelsie.
This week, Hines & Kym got the Judges' Encore. And going home this week:
Wendy & Tony
. It was kind of inevitable at this point.
Next week:
Classical Night!
And now, the first edition of
Erbo's DWTS Season 12 POWER RANKINGS!
- I expect this group to be in contention right up to the awarding of the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy.
Hines & Kym
(average 23.0, trending up) - Who woulda thunk it? The guy is light on his feet and sure seems to enjoy himself! The most serious contender of the lot.
Ralph & Karina
(average 22.0, trending mildly down) - Started strong, but then flagged a bit. But he's a great performer, and could easily bounce back.
Kirstie & Maks
(average 21.3, trending steady) - A clear crowd favorite, and Kirstie certainly has some moves on her. Hope Maks stays healthy!
- These performers are still in the fight, and could vault into the top tier with some good work.
Chelsea & Mark
(average 20.6, trending up) - Recovered nicely from Mark's over-ambitious choreography in Week 2, and her youthful energy could still send her far.
Chris & Cheryl
(average 21.0, trending steady) - As big a surprise as Hines; the guy has some serious moves! Cheryl really has done wonders with him.
Petra & Dmitry
(average 20.3, trending up) - One of the top scorers this week, she can be really beautiful in ballroom, but I think Latin dances may give her some trouble.
Romeo & Chelsie
(average 20.6, trending down) - He has
outdone his father, that's for sure! Still, his moves need polishing if he's to avoid an early exit.
- The group most likely to contain the next couple eliminated.
Kendra & Louis
(average 20.0, trending up) - Showing improvement, and, as long as she can stay away from the smoke machine, she may get by for awhile.
Sugar Ray & Anna
(average 18.0, trending up) - I like his enthusiasm, but I don't know how long enthusiasm alone can carry him. Sabrina thinks he may be the next to go.
Judging from the trends, I'd say we've now eliminated all the "deadwood" and have entered the "squeeze play" phase of the competition, where the merely "good" couples start getting squeezed out each week. A strong field indeed! It'll be interesting to see what happens.

This is
Classical Week
, complete with an expanded orchestra and a couple of guest artists! We got a couple of demos from the New Mutants (Oksana and Kiki on paso doble, Peta and Tristan with the waltz), and here's the action!
Romeo & Chelsie started off with a paso doble, and Romeo was NOTHING like his low-scoring father; his power was evident, even if he seemed a little out of control in spots. (23) Kendra & Louis didn't hit the mark with their Viennese waltz; she seemed frightened at first, but smoothed out near the end. (18) Sugar Ray & Anna also did a Viennese waltz, which was much better than that; the routine was marked by great characterization and enthusiasm. (21)
Petra & Dmitry showed power early in their paso...she kept up well and made it very dramatic, if a little brittle. (23) Ralph & Karina came out with a beautiful waltz, with great storytelling and improved hands...I think I got something in my eye. (25) By contrast, Hines & Kym came out FULL BORE in the paso, with the perfect character for that dance. (25)
Chelsea & Mark took some chances with the choreography in their Viennese waltz, but, this time, the fundamentals helped carry them, and how! (26) Chris & Cheryl launched into a paso that might have lacked some of the needed foot action, but was strong and led to a dramatic freeze-frame finish. (23) Kirstie & Maks seem to be plagued with mishaps; in mid-waltz, Kirstie's
came off! But they recovered well--
--and finished great! (22)
Chelsea and Mark make their first appearance in the lead, while Kendra and Louis bring up the rear. Tomorrow night...one more goes down!

Are you a dancer, or do you have two left feet like me?
Here have a piece of cake

Wow! Cake! And it's not a lie!
No, I don't dance, though Sabrina and I have developed almost as good an eye for judging the dances as Len, Bruno, and Carrie-Ann themselves...
Tonight's results show featured ace violinist David Garrett playing his version of "Walk This Way" to the Troupe, Jennifer Hudson with two numbers, and a Macy's Stars of Dance performance of
Swan Lake
featuring the principal dancers of three leading ballet companies. Good way to round out Classical Week!
Chelsea & Mark got the encore for the week...and, sadly,
Sugar Ray & Anna
were given the send-off. I thought for sure Kendra would be booted...
Next week's theme warms my heart:
A Celebration of America!
This should be good!

Hey, Erbo. Just popping in to share a
with you and commend you for being so even-handed in your reviews. I don't follow DWTS, but I've enjoyed reading your reviews in the past, so after reading that blog post, I was really curious to hear how you handled the incident. Thank you for being so classy!

Rhonwyyn, I will say that, after Maks' cramp causing the fall two weeks ago, and then Kirstie losing a
last week, that the true measure of a performer is how well they
from mishaps like that...and by those standards, Kirstie is a real trouper. In fact, they
are. Thankfully, though, no mishaps for them this week!
It was
American Week
this week, with dances all set to tributes to the great U.S. of A.! Of course, some of those dances were Latin dances like the rumba and samba...but still with that American spirit!
Ralph & Karina led off with a Southern-fried samba ("Sweet Home Alabama"), which featured some Texas two-step in there, and some very snappy moves...and he DOES look an awful lot like a cowboy. (22) Chris & Cheryl classed it up with a Viennese waltz ("America The Beautiful"), where he extended his lines well and performed great throughout, though he might have bobbled the footwork a bit at the end. (26). Petra & Dmitry rolled the dice on a quickstep ("Viva Las Vegas"); her long legs, though, have so much natural bounce to them that it may have messed up her steps. (22). Romeo & Chelsie did a very classic foxtrot ("New York, New York") that Ol' Blue Eyes would have been proud of. (26)
I could not take my eyes off Hines' & Kym's rumba ("God Bless The USA"); I thought for sure Carrie-Ann would ding him for the lift at the end, but she never mentioned it! (27) Kirstie & Maks threw a LOT of sex appeal into their foxtrot ("American Woman"); it was a very spicy performance, but a tad unconventional for a fox. (23) Kendra & Louis showed off in fine style for their foxtrot ("Yankee Doodle Dandy"), which entertained, and she seems to have lost some of her nerves, but they took half the song to get into hold. (22)
(This was the 1000th competitive dance on the series, incidentally.)
Chelsea & Mark played it straight this time for their samba ("Party In The USA"), and it came out much better, with good hip action and precise execution. (26)
Hines & Kym lead the pack tonight, while there is a 3-way tie for last: Ralph & Karina, Petra & Dmitry, and Kendra & Louis. Tomorrow night, one more of the couples takes one for the team!

Rhonwyyn, I passed the link to that blog site along to both the Facebook page for DWTS and to "Annie Barrett's DANCMSTRs" group, also on Facebook. Many thanks for a site that shows everyone that someone doesn't have to look like Our Skinny-Mini Pros to be a good dancer, and even a
Getting the all-American encore this week were Romeo & Chelsie with their Big Apple foxtrot! Toby Keith showed up early on to sing "Should've Been a Cowboy" to accompany Maks, Lacey, and the Dance Troupe...and Maks accidentally caught his leg on Lacey's shoulder executing a complicated spin move! See, Kirstie? Even the pros hit glitches once in a while! He returned later to sing his hit "American Soldier" to accompany Pro Couple Jonathan and Anna. (I guess "Courtesy of The Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American)" would've been too much to expect ABC/Disney to put up with, especially that line "We'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American way!") And Macy's Stars of Dance put on an excellent urban hip-hop tribute to the American Dream, featuring the song "Tightrope."
And the couple out this week:
Petra & Dmitry.
She's a sweetie, but it's just that someone has to get squeezed out this week! Next week is "Guilty Pleasures" week. WTF does that mean? We'll find out, I guess!
Meantime, here are the latest editions of
Erbo's DWTS POWER RANKINGS!

- 50% likely the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy will be won by one of these three.
Hines & Kym
(average 24.2, trending up) - This guy just keeps finding ways to get better! 30% likely to receive the first Perfect Thirty this season.
Chelsea & Mark
(average 22.8, trending mildly up) - Mark needs to keep a rein on the choreography and stick close to the original dance style. When he does...look out, top of leaderboard!
Chris & Cheryl
(average 22.4, trending up) - Another surprise, this guy has been on an absolute TEAR recently. He is one hell of a performer!
- These couples could make a bid for the Top Tier at any time...or they could slip away.
Romeo & Chelsie
(average 22.2, trending up) - The breakout star of the middle of the pack; let him learn refinement in addition to the sex appeal, and he's destined for greatness!
Ralph & Karina
(average 22.6, trending mildly down) - An early leader, Ralph has been flagging recently. Yet he's likable, and a hard fighter; he's not done yet.
Kirstie & Maks
(average 21.8, trending mildly up) - The "Timex Couple"; they take a licking and keep on ticking! Still, they need a big push to keep in this competition.
- These couples are in danger of falling by the wayside soon.
Kendra & Louis
(average 20.0, trending steady but variable) - Kendra dodged a bullet this week, IMHO. She's improved, but lags the rest of the pack significantly, and, on top of that, she seems to have a real attitude problem. 40% likely she is knocked out in Week 6.
See you next week!

It is
Guilty Pleasures Week
, featuring the songs you hate to admit you love, on DWTS! And we started the evening off with none other than
, playing their hit "MMMbop" to accompany Tony, Lacey, and the Troupe! Hanson also did a number of short covers as "return from commercial break" bumpers throughout the night.
Kirstie and Maks, any thought of a jinx all gone, started with a samba ("Baby One More Time"); it was a smooth, polished routine that proved that Kirstie can really shake it! (26). Chris and Cheryl went with a tango ("Don't Stop Believin'"), but it looked like
stopped believin'; despite his commanding presence, he messed up the footwork and timing, and seemed stiff. (22) Romeo & Chelsie did a waltz ("My Heart Will Go On"), and all I have in my notes for it are "Oh wow. Wonderful." Carrie-Ann called it "magic." (28--including the first "10" paddle of the season!) Chelsea and Mark followed it with a bright and bouncy quickstep ("Walkin' on Sunshine") that saw a couple of minor goofs, but was really very good. (28)
Kendra and Louis did a samba themselves ("Livin' La Vida Loca") that proved she could really work it as well; though she slipped a bit, she made up for it by showing off atop the judges' desk. (25) Hines and Kym took a turn at the Viennese waltz ("End of the Road") that was quite cute; he got a tad hesitant in the dance, though. (27). Ralph and Karina topped it off with a paso doble ("Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)") that, while showy and strong, seemed a little too "un-paso-like" in spots..and
fell, but Ralph stayed in control and got her back up and into the routine. (24)
Romeo & Chelsie tied with Chelsea & Mark for the lead this week, while Chris & Cheryl played "tail-end Charlie." Tomorrow night: two hours of DWTS goodness, and the field narrows to six!

Tonight, we got a 2-hour dose of
, so, among other things, we could get extended analyses of each couple's best dance. We also got Hanson's new single "Give A Little" (to accompany The Troupe), a performance by the cast of the musical
Rock Of Ages
(coming to Denver in June, apparently!), a Macy's Stars of Dance "love story" number to "Stand By Me" inspired by the upcoming Royal Wedding, and
American Idol
castoff Pia Toscano warbling "I'll Stand By You" as Mark and Karina danced. The
guilty pleasure, though, was...NKOTBSB, New Kids On The Block/Backstreet Boys, doing both their new hit "Don't Turn Out The Lights" (accompanied by Lacey, Tony, and The Troupe) and a medley of "Step By Step" and "I Want It That Way" (Peta and Anna assisting).
Kendra got a chance to shake her booty atop the judges' desk again, as she and Louis got the encore for the week. And the couple knocked out was...
Chris and Cheryl
. Chris, for his part, looked forward to seeing his kids again. He's a hell of a guy, he is.
Next week...we start

This week, it's
Ballroom Greats
week, with special guest judge, 16-time wold Latin champion Donnie Burns! (That means that all the scores are out of 40 points this week, not 30 as usual.)
Team Chelsea
(Chelsea & Mark, Ralph & Karina, Romeo & Chelsie) led off with a nice formation, then Romeo got sassy in his solo, Ralph proved he got game, and Chelsea executed wonderfuly on the anchor leg. The finish was terrific; Bruno thought they were a little out of sync, but Carrie-Ann disagreed. (30)
Team Hines
(Hines & Kym, Kirstie & Maks, Kendra & Louis) showed off some nice sequential moves in
intro! Kendra had the shakes down pat, Kirstie knows how to jazz it up, and Hines was enthusiastic and precise in his solo. The finish gave Sabrina body chills! Donnie, however, criticized the spacing between the dancers. (30)
At the start and midpoint of this round, we got exhibitions from some REAL pro dancers! And, for training purposes, all couples got advice from one of two super-pros: Luca Baricchi or Shirley Ballas.
Chelsea & Mark's paso doble had great synchronized side-by-side work at the start, but seemed to lose the footwork--and the serious nature of the dance--in a couple of spots. The ending was fab, though! (34) Kendra & Louis got a nice takeoff on their tango, with excellent footwork but maybe a bit off-balance in the dip. They finished strong, though. (31) The jive done by Kirstie & Maks started slow but got cheeky quickly! It had lots of energy, but she seemed to kind of poop out near the end. Technically it may not have been that good, but as a performance, it was stunning. (30)
Ralph & Karina opened up cute in their quickstep, and it led to some smooth traverses of the floor. It seemed a bit slow, but the characterization was just great. (36) Hines & Kym's tango started off COMMANDING, launching into precision turns with impeccable footwork. A champion performance! (36) Romeo & Chelsie, in turn, started off well in their samba, but it seemed maybe too slow and not samba-like enough. He can sure shake it, though! (30)
Ralph & Karina return to the top of the leaderboard, tied with Hines & Kym. At the other end are Romeo & Chelsie and Kirstie & Maks. Tomorrow, though, we have to cull the field to five...

Tonight, after an hour's worth of reviews of last night's performances, we launched into the elimination. This week's encore was Team Chelsea's cha-cha. We then got to see Nicki Minaj, performing her song "Moment 4 Life" to accompany Pros Chelsie and Lacey, Troupe member Kiki, and Spare Pro Sonny.
The highlight performance of the show was Patricia Zhou, young dancer with the Royal Ballet Company, dancing to the solo voice and acoustic guitar of Priscilla Ahn and "Dream." Sabrina got something in her eye.
Also performing tonight, as part of the Macy's Stars of Dance, was Wayne Brady doing a tribute to James Brown. And James Blunt sang "I'll Be Your Man" to accompany Maks' brother Val and his partner Dasha.
Eliminated tonight:
Kendra and Louis
. They were quite gracious about it, and Kendra said she "lasted seven weeks longer than I thought I would."
Now, after this elimination, it's time for
Erbo's DWTS Week 7 POWER RANKINGS!
Hines & Kym
(average 24.8, trending steady) - The Silent Assassin is still the man to beat, though he has yet to crack the Perfect Thirty. 75% likely to make the finals.
Chelsea & Mark
(average 23.8, trending mildly up) - Recovered nicely from the early goofs because of Marks wack choreography; Chelseas carried them there on sheer talent, but Mark still has to keep it more traditional. 50% likely to make the finals.
Romeo & Chelsie
(average 23.0, trending mildly up) - Having long since erased the memory of his fathers performance, Romeo is holding his own, and has established himself as a great contender. 30% likely to make the finals.
Ralph & Karina
(average 23.1, trending up & variable) - I was afraid Ralph had peaked early, but hes starting to dig out of the slump. He may just be able to squeak past Romeo. 30% likely to make the finals.
Kirstie & Maks
(average 22.4, trending mildly up) - Kirstie has held on gamely, but escaped this weeks elimination by a gnats whisker; I think she may have topped out. 10% likely to make the finals.
Next week:
The return of the INSTANT DANCE!

Here we go with the quarterfinals! Five couples left, three weeks left! Here goes!
Chelsea & Mark essayed a more traditional waltz this time; it was lovely and expressive. (29) Hines & Kym told the story of a marriage proposal with their foxtrot; it was lighthearted and featured a nice pivot move off a bench that reminded the judges of movies. (28) Romeo took the lead in a
way in the tango he did with Chelsie; the dance was dark, intense, and full of drama. (27) Ralph was actually hurt tonight and it wasn't certain he'd be able to perform; he and Karina did dance the Viennese waltz very well, though, in a dark, passionate, vaguely vampiric style. (25) Kirstie & Maks finished the round with an Argentine tango that was
She was
to the beat; it was easily her best routine yet. (28)
This is the round where the couples prepare a dance, but don't get the actual
until 20 minutes before performance time! It's more like a
dance competition, and, as we saw in Season 11, it can make or break the performers!
Chelsea & Mark did a quick yet fun salsa, for which their plan seemed to have been "shake it," and it worked! (26) It looked like Hines & Kym were struggling a bit with the jive, and his kicks were a bit flat-footed, but he sold the living
out of it. (26) Maybe Romeo wasn't moving as much as he could have in the salsa with Chelsie, but his hip action was noteworthy and he pulled it off well. (25) Hampered by an inability to rehearse, Ralph & Karina's cha-cha-cha wasn't up to snuff, though I give him mad props for
. (21) Kirstie & Maks' salsa was more traditional and rhythmic in nature; the routine really flowed nicely, and she was workin' it! (25)
Chelsea and Mark get the lead this week, while Ralph and Karina bring up the rear. Tomorrow night, the field gets shorter again...

Kirstie and Maks got the encore this week with their Argentine tango, a fact that had Sabrina cheering!
Tonight, after a 1-hour retrospective of great results show performances, we got several more. One featured Michael (
"That was the worst jive I have ever seen in 11 seasons!"
) Bolton singing "I'm Not Ready" with Aussie star Delta Goodrem, to accompany Dmitry and Anna. Big star Adele sang "Rolling In The Deep" as some Spare Pros danced...and she was supposed to sing "Natural Woman" for Cheryl & Louis, too, but her voice was kinda not up to it, so Goodrem stepped in on an hour's rehearsal.
We also got the usual DanceCenter crap we often get at this point in the season, featuring Kenny Mayne, Jerry Rice, and Len. And three boys who are avid dancers and lost their dad to a stroke hit the floor. Sabrina complained of all the pollen in the air, if you know what I mean.
And the couple that went home this week was...
Romeo and Chelsie!
Everyone in the ballroom stood up in tribute to him as he waxed philosophical about the whole thing.
Next week: Two individual routines, plus a 15-point winner-take-all cha-cha challenge! This is one rough season!

This is the semifinals! Four couples left, and we have THREE rounds tonight!
Ralph & Karina led off their Argentine tango with a seductive bit around a lamppost; he sure wasn't dancing like a man who was just last week suffering from a crippling leg injury! (25) I saw the emotional connection between Kirstie and Maks in their Viennese waltz; it was positively dazzling. (27) Chelsea & Mark did a very mature Argentine tango; she really has the character and intensity nailed, but maybe her footing was a bit awkward? (28) And Hines & Kym had a mishap in practice; Hines fell on Kym when they were trying a lift and she injured her neck! But that didn't stop them from doing a slinky Argentine tango that was everything an Argentine tango should be. (
First of the season!)
What the hell was that opening to Ralph & Karina's salsa? He was pretty precise in his moves, and he can shake his ass with the best of them, but it left me a little flat. (23) Kirstie & Maks threw a gutsy solo by Kirstie into the beginning of their paso doble, in which she came out as intense as anything I've ever seen. (27) Chelsie & Mark came out with a perfectly executed rumba; this ain't no little girl anymore! It didn't give Sabrina body chills, though. (
Second of the season; first for Chelsie!) Hines & Kym countered with a spirited and fun salsa that had nothing wrong with its execution at all! (
Third of the season; second for Hines!)
This is a new thing! What they're doing is, they set the couples up in a tournament bracket; the 1st and 4th-place couples (in Rounds 1 and 2) face off, followed by the 2nd and 3rd-place couples. Then the two victors compete, in a
super instant
dance; the victors get 15 bonus judges' points!
First up: Hines & Kym vs. Ralph & Karina...and it's pretty clear that Ralph is overmatched; Hines is just too good for him. Winner: Hines & Kym.
Now on the floor: Chelsea & Mark vs. Kirstie & Maks. Chelsea comes out with a real statement; Kirstie starts slowly, but then eases into it smoothly. It's a tough choice here, but the judges have to declare the winner: Chelsea & Mark.
Finally, Hines & Kym take on Chelsie & Mark. (This is definitely live TV: Brooke botched the coin toss!) Hines did great as usual, but his sync in the turns was a teeny bit off...Chelsea was strong as always, but Mark may have misstepped...but, in the end, the winners are
Chelsea & Mark
The bonus points propel Chelsea & Mark to the top of the leader board; Ralph & Karina bring up the rear. Tomorrow night, we find out which three couples make the finals!

Tonight started out with a 1-hour retrospective on the freestyle dance, featuring "walkthroughs" on some famous freestyles by the celebrities that danced them, and Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke reprising their Season 2 freestyle to "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy." Then the judges' encore this week was Chelsea & Mark's rumba.
Stevie Nicks, in her 60's but still going strong, sang a song from her new album, "Secret Love," to accompany Anna, Dmitry, Peta, and Damian, and later, an old Fleetwood Mac classic, "Landslide," accompanying Cheryl and Tony. We also got a performance of the song "Give Me Everything," by Pitbull, featuring Ne-Yo and Nayer. Sabrina's gonna have me checking Amazon for that track.
We also got the story of young Tayla Kelley, a 13-year-old girl who dances to help her cope with the rest of her life--including her immunodeficiency disorder. She gets to dance with Lacey and Chelsie, and gets a standing O from the entire ballroom. And I think something got caught in my contact lenses...
And the last couple eliminated before the finals:
Ralph & Karina
. Ralph, of course, was gracious to everyone as he departed the show. But he'll be back next week...as will the rest of the knocked-out contestants, for one last exhibition...as the three remaining couples compete for The Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy!

(GrumpySteen, you're absolutely right. They run one season in the fall, another in the spring. Season 13 will debut in September 2011.)
And now, the week you've all been waiting for...the FINALS! One last chance for our three celebrities--Chelsea the Disney kid, Kirstie the veteran entertainer, and Hines the football hero--to compete for judges' scores and viewer votes, before one of them emerges with the famous Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy!
Tonight, as the dancing expands to TWO nights, we expand to FULL coverage of the action! So let's get to it!
In this round, the judges choose a dance for each couple that they believe will show off their best advantages and progress...and each couple gets one of the judges to help them out in the rehearsals!
First up: Chelsea and Mark, and Carrie-Ann arrives in the studio to help Chelsea with her samba, in which she wanted to see "less perky, more sensuality!" And boy, did she wiggle those hips as the band struck up "Hip Hip Chin Chin"; this was the first dance Chelsea's done all season that gave Sabrina body chills! Chelsea might have messed up a teeny bit near the end, but you'd hardly notice! Len might've, though; he wasn't keen on the flying arms. "You were like an ultra sexy bombshell!" crowed Bruno, who praised the way the rhythm flowed through her body. (Want to sing someone's praises the Bruno Tonioli way?
There's an app for that.
) Carrie-Ann pronounced it "hot, hot, hot!" and admired how she got down, dirty, and sensual.
Scores: CAI 10, LG 9, BT 10, Total 29
Kirstie and Maks also were selected to do a samba, and Our Lady of Perpetual Metaphor himself, Bruno, stepped in to offer her some pointers. She needs to let some of her lines flow a bit more, basically, and, above all, to
show off!
Her samba was a bit slower than Chelsea's, but I thought it showed her sensuality to best advantage, and it featured lots of turns to show off the fringe on that costume! To me, the ending seemed a little "ahead" of the music. "Softly sensual and sexy!" crowed Bruno, who still pointed out that she spent too much time looking at the floor. Carrie-Ann thought her feet seemed a teeny bit off in parts, but thought it was a great dance. Len noted that this dance was less aggressive, but felt more natural as a result, and certainly deserved to be in the finals.
Scores: CAI 9, LG 9, BT 9, Total 27
Hines and Kym's "picked" dance was the quickstep, and Len arrived in his limo with the "DANCMSTR" license plates, carrying a Steelers Terrible Towel, to help sharpen up his feet! (Kym was wearing a neck brace in rehearsals; she must be more badly injured than she'd like to let on!) They put on a show to "Puttin' On The Ritz" (an old classic which most of you may know from Taco's 80's version), and it just floated on air throughout. Hines always has fun with his dancing, and fun it was, as well as a spectacular dance. Carrie-Ann noted that he'd upped the "Twinkletoes" ante, and "You make the dance feel like you're running for a touchdown, the way you draw the audience into it!" Ol' Grumpy, despite having good things to say, felt that it wasn't there YET (boos from audience!) and that the competition was still anyone's to win or lose. "It was like watching a mega-production on Broadway!" said Bruno to get the crowd behind him, who praised the glitz and entertainment value. "You connect with the audience like no one else!"
Scores: CAI 10, LG 9, BT 10, Total 29

And here it is...the dance that can make or break a champion. No holds barred, no
barred, no rules, just get on out and dance your fanny off!
Mark wanted to include some fresh, edgy choreography in his and Chelsea's freestyle, but it kind of scared Chelsea a bit. When they started, though, it was nothing but confidence, opening with some hip-hop inspired Latin moves before segueing into a bit of more classic ballroom. Then...BLACKOUT! The stage lights mostly cut as little flashing lights on Mark's and Chelsea's hands and shoes started blinking patterns as they continued to dance! (Chelsea's battery pack got disconnected halfway through that part, though, so it wasn't the show it could have been.) Sabrina wasn't too fond of this number...but the judges had other ideas. Len praised the entertainment value and the way it showcased her talent, saying it was full-on, with lots of attack. "ELECTRIFYING!" crowed You-Know-Who. "You looked like you were plugged into the national grid!" He liked how they pushed the limit with their creative, imaginative interpretation. So, how do you top that assessment? Well, if you're Carrie-Ann, you dance around and yodel incoherently. I am
making this up.
Scores: CAI 10, LG 10, BT 10, PERFECT THIRTY!!!
(Fourth of the season; second for Chelsea and Mark!)
Yes, Maks
planning to lift Kirstie in their freestyle routine; it's kinda expected. And Kirstie adds, "It
be spectacular!" The opening of it, to "Perfect," was very sweet and tender, then it got exciting, then it got downright
with Kirstie turning cartwheels and Maks spinning her all over the place. And Kirstie did all that
The audience loved it! Bruno would never have thought, ten weeks ago, that they'd be doing all those lifts in a freestyle. "Respect, girl, respect!" he said. Carrie-Ann thought some of the lifts were a bit "alley-oop," but said, "You have become the new poster child for life at 60!" Len quipped, "You gotta risk it if you want the biscuit," and commended Kirstie on a great effort.
Scores: CAI 9, LG 9, BT 9, Total 27
Hines and Kym have a radical idea...they're going to make their freestyle the halftime show that Hines never gets to see because he's in the locker room then! With Hines as a drum major, and Kym as a cheerleader (in Steelers black and gold, natch), they did the freestyle to a song from "Drumline," and an
drumline on the stage! (Took Sabrina back to her days in the Arkadelphia High School marching band...) The dance featured lots of nice quickstep-like moves, and enough excitement to stand in for any Super Bowl halftime show! (And
"wardrobe malfunctions"!) "That wasn't just a halftime show," said Carrie-Ann, "THAT WAS THE WHOLE DAMN SUPER BOWL!" She called the lifts "insane." (All the more so because of Kym's condition!) "You have to give your best to get the points," said Len, "and you just gave your ALL!" Bruno exclaimed, "You pulled out all the stops! It was a crowd-pleasing event!" Anyone else smell
high score?
Scores: CAI 10, LG 10, BT 10, PERFECT THIRTY!!!
(Fifth of the season, and third for Hines and Kym!)
After two rounds, Hines and Chelsea are tied for the lead at 59 points each, while Kirstie has 54. But there's still one more round tomorrow night to figure into the final judges' tally...and the viewer vote still counts for 50% of the final result! Tune in tomorrow, folks, 'cos it's gonna be a fight to the finish!

You know the names: Kelly Monaco. Drew Lachey. Emmitt Smith. Apolo Anton Ohno. Helio Castroneves. Kristi Yamaguchi. Brooke Burke. Shawn Johnson. Donny Osmond. Nicole Scherzinger. Jennifer Grey. Tonight, a new name will join the pantheon. Who will it be?
Before that, we lead off the night with a big dance number by ALL the pros, plus the Troupe,
all the eliminated stars! Then, the Black-Eyed Peas did their new number "Don't Stop The Party." Looks like some influence from Daft Punk in their routine...or maybe from Chelsea and Mark's freestyle?
Some of the eliminated celebrities came back to dance once more. Mike Catherwood "auditioned" for the Troupe...and wound up coming out dancing with them, as well as Lacey! Petra and Dmitry reprised their waltz to Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up"...
and Josh Groban himself sang it!
He flew in just to surprise Petra! Kendra and Louis redid the "Livin' La Vida Loca" samba, with a few more guy pros to accompany Kendra! (Good thing too...she nearly slipped and fell in the dip off the judges' table at the end!)
Chris, Cheryl, Sugar Ray, and Anna redid their dances in a "let's get ready to rumble" face-off...and Chris revealed that he does a
Bruno impression! Wendy Williams, not all that good at dancing, interviewed...
, and Tony, instead! In the Macy's Design-A-Dance routine, Maks, Lacey, Cheryl, and Chelsea jived it to The Go-Gos' "We Got The Beat"...performed live by the band, including front woman and Season 8 contestant Belinda Carlisle! And Ralph and Karina redid their quickstep routine...and Ralph threw in a little softshoe solo that wasn't in the original!
But for the three finalists...the competition is NOT YET OVER...

For the last round, the finalists pick their favorite dance of the season to do over again! Their judges' scores here will be combined with those from Round 1 and Round 2, and will form 50% of the final score, with viewer votes counting for the other 50%.
Chelsea and Mark knew exactly which one they wanted to do..."Wizard Waltz!" They were even rehearsing at midnight last night...their last rehearsal, which sparked tears from Chelsea. It's obvious her Viennese waltz technique has improved; she has the frame down, and the dance was so much more polished than before. "You are a fantastic dancer!" said Len. "
Bellissima, bravissima!
" cooed Bruno, calling her "a great performer" and "a real, real star!" Carrie-Ann said that, if people didn't know her before, they'll know her now because of performances like this. Hmm...would that mean
points for Gryffindor, if you know what I mean?
Scores: CAI 10, LG 10, BT 10, PERFECT THIRTY!!!
(Sixth of the season, third for Chelsea and Mark!)
Kirstie and Maks opted to repeat the cha-cha-cha, to "Forget You," from Week 1. "It was our first date!" says Kirstie. This time, though, she's not collapsing of exhaustion in rehearsals! The dance itself was gorgeous; Kirstie was easily able to keep up with Maks now, and proved she's come a long way. "You cheeky girl, you saved the best for last!" said Bruno, calling it "a 100% proof cocktail of effervescent, flamboyant fun!" "I salute you, I love you!" said Carrie-Ann, who saw authenticity, transformation, and a little magic in that dance. The last word here goes to Len, though: "Tonight, you have produced your best dance!"
Scores: CAI 10, LG 10, BT 10, PERFECT THIRTY!!!
(Seventh of the season, and Kirstie and Maks
get one!)
Closing out the competition, Hines and Kym bring back the "Fantasy" samba. Hines is doing this for his mom...and, in response to Kym's comment about straightening his legs, yanked off his sweats so she could get a better view! After all that...well, the only thing I could say about that dance is, it was 100% made of AWESOME. "Listen to that crowd!" said Carrie-Ann, drowned out by the cheers of said crowd. "I am so impressed with you!" Len remarked on how Hines brought every dance to life. Bruno, bubbly to the last, called him "a charming dazzler" and "Mr. Irresistible," and said, "We all fall in love with you!"
Scores: CAI 10, LG 10, BT 10, PERFECT THIRTY!!!
(Eighth of the season; fourth for Hines and Kym!)
With the competition over, while the ABC supercomputers calculate the final results, Season 3 favorite contestant Sara Evans came out to sing "A Little Bit Stronger." No dancing to this one, just clips of the three finalists.
And now...the moment we've all been waiting for...
Third place goes to...
Chelsea and Mark!
(Surprise; I thought Kirstie would finish third!)
And at last...
Your Season 12 champions of
Dancing With The Stars
Fireworks erupt as the NFL takes its second championship!
Kirstie and Maks, for their part, were happy with second place; Maks thanked the show for giving him "ten beautiful trophies" in the form of his partners over Seasons 2 through 11. Meanwhile...Hines Ward may not have a Super Bowl ring, but, unlike the Green Bay Packers, he gets to stand in the ballroom and hoist
an honor neither he nor his mother will soon forget.

. I'd like to thank my loving color commentator, Sabrina, and also thank Google for providing the Cr-48 Chromebook prototype that I wrote these posts on, Wikipedia for research assistance, and EW.com's Annie Barrett and her crew of DANCMSTRs for inspiration.
And, of course, I'd like to thank Nitrozac and Snaggy for being gracious enough to let me take up space on their forums with my blather.

text: Technical Abstract: Short-term storage trials were conducted with Atlantic sturgeon semen collected from a total of nine wild males during the 2008 and 2009 spawning seasons on the Hudson River. Semen samples were kept refrigerated (4 plus or minus 1 degree C) and stored in different gaseous atmospheres and storage extenders. Gas atmosphere environments included oxygen, nitrogen or air, while extender treatments included Modified Tsvetkova (MT), Park & Chapman (PC), or undiluted. Analyses of four response variables percent viable sperm (viability), percent motile sperm (motility), curvilinear velocity (VCL), and ATP content were determined on Day 0 (day of arrival in the laboratory), and then every other day for 7 d in 2008 and for 21 d in 2009. The experiments were conducted in a split-split-plot design to examine dilution treatment, gas atmosphere and repeated measures across days. Linear analysis of covariance models were fit to the data (after appropriate transformation) using SAS v9.2 PROC GLIMMIX. Storage of sperm in an oxygen atmosphere was superior to nitrogen for all variables. Storage of semen in 100% or 21 % (air) oxygen in PC did not differ among variables except for viability; viability was maintained at > 95% through 13 d and decreased to 88% and 94% on Day 21 under 100% oxygen and air, respectively; during last five d survival in an air atmosphere was slightly better (P < 0.05) than for 100% oxygen (P < 0.05). Motility decreased during the 21 d of storage and the decline was greater (P < 0.05) in undiluted than in PC semen decreasing from 85% on Day 1 to approximately 21 and 47%, respectively, on Day 21. We conclude that for Atlantic sturgeon semen storage, PC was the extender of choice and semen could be stored in either 100% oxygen or a lesser amount of oxygen contained in air for up to 21 d with some expectation of fertility.

Israel – Situation of Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike (18.02.13)
For humanitarian reasons, we call on the Israeli authorities to be sensitive to the risk of a tragic outcome and to take the appropriate measures as a matter of urgency. Several times, both nationally and with our European partners, we have called on the Israeli authorities to respect their international obligations vis-à-vis Palestinian prisoners. We are continuing to do so.

"What matters today is the resumption of negotiations. We call on both parties to resume them and we call on them to refrain from any decision that could jeopardize these negotiations. "
Summoning of the Israeli ambassador to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (03.12.12)
The minister's cabinet director summoned the Israeli ambassador in Paris today. In line with the minister's statement on December 1, he expressed to him France's very serious concern following the Israeli government's decision to authorize the construction of 3,000 settlement homes. This decision relaunches the settlement planning process in the so-called E1 area in the West Bank, to the east of Jerusalem.
Recognition of Palestine as non-member state observer at the UN (29.11.12)
"By voting today to recognize Palestine as a non-member observer state within this organization, France has voted for the two-State solution – two States for two peoples, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security within secure and internationally recognized borders; a solution it advocated before the rest of the international community came on board; a solution that is now jeopardized by the deadlock in the peace process."
Palestinian territories – Reply given by Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to a question in the National Assembly (27.11.12)

"I utterly condemn the attack that has just taken place in Tel Aviv, targeting civilians just at a time when everything must be done to achieve a ceasefire."
Israel - SItuation in Gaza (Q&A - Excerpt from the daily press briefing - 16.11.12)
France has issued very clear statements about the situation in Gaza, notably through Laurent Fabius yesterday. These statements express - to echo what the minister said – our grave concern regarding the deterioration in the situation and also urge the parties to demonstrate restraint and calm and to refrain from any escalation of violence.
Israel - Gaza (14.11.12)
France is extremely concerned at the deterioration in the situation in Gaza and in southern Israel.
It urges the parties to refrain from any escalation of violence, for which the Israeli and Palestinian civilian populations would inevitably pay the price.
Israel/ Gaza – Rising tensions (12.11.12)
France strongly deplores the renewed escalation of violence in Gaza.
It strongly condemns the firing of rockets from Gaza targeting the population of southern Israel.
Visit by Benjamin Netanyahu to France (31.10-01.11.12)
These meetings will notably focus on the prospects for strengthening bilateral relations, the need to relaunch the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and political developments in the region.
Israel - Acceleration of settlement activities in East Jerusalem and the West Bank (24.10.12)
France reaffirms that Israeli settlement activity – in all its forms – is illegal under international law, is detrimental to efforts to restore trust between the parties and constitutes an obstacle to a just peace based on the two-state solution.
Upsurge in violence in Gaza (24.10.12)
It urges the parties to ensure a return to calm and to demonstrate restraint in order to avoid an escalation that could once again affect civilians.
Israel - Construction of new homes in the Gilo settlement of East Jerusalem (19.10.12)
France stresses that the Israeli settlement program, in all its forms, is illegal under international law, undermines trust-building between the parties, and constitutes an obstacle to a just peace based on the two-state solution.
Payment of €200,000 by France for the restoration of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem (18.10.12)
On October 17 in Ramallah, the Consul General of France in Jerusalem, Frédéric Desagneaux, signed, together with President Abbas's adviser on Christian affairs, Ziad Al-Bandak, a budgetary aid agreement under which France will contribute €200,000 to the restoration of the Church of the Nativity. To that end, the Palestinian Authority has also created a fund in which it has invested $1 million.
This contribution will be used to finance the restoration of the roof of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in June. It reflects France's desire to support the Palestinian Authority's efforts to preserve Palestinian and world historical heritage.
It also reflects the French Republic's special historical responsibility with respect to Christian churches and communities in the Holy Land.
Vandalism of the Saint George Church in Jerusalem (10.10.12)
France strongly condemns these acts and expresses its solidarity with the Christian communities that have been targeted. We are particularly concerned by the steady upsurge in vandalism and acts of intolerance against religious structures.
Situation of the Palestinian detainees on hunger strike (Q&A - Excerpt from the daily press briefing - 19.09.12)
We're concerned by the situation of the Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike, some of whom in administrative detention are in critical condition. For humanitarian reasons, we call on the Israeli authorities to take appropriate action as a matter of urgency.
Israel - New university in the settlement of Ariel in the West Bank (Q&A - Excerpt from the daily press briefing - 12.09.12)
This measure, like all those aimed at perpetuating and legitimizing settlement activities in the Palestinian Territories, can only serve to further undermine trust between the parties. We therefore call on Israel to swiftly reverse this decision.
4th session of the Franco-Israeli strategic dialogue (06.09.12)
This strategic dialogue takes place every year and allows France and Israel to examine all topics of common interest. It bears witness to the close and trusting relationship between our two countries.
Latrun Abbey – Act of vandalism (04.09.12)
France strongly condemns this act of vandalism directed at a place of worship and peace. It expresses its wholehearted solidarity with the community of monks. The Cistercian Abbey of Latrun is a religious community protected by France under the so-called Chauvel-Fischer agreements concluded with the State of Israel.
Signing of agreements between the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority on the collection of taxes and duties levied by Israel (02.08.12)
France welcomes the signing of agreements between the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority whose implementation will make it possible to collect taxes and duties levied by Israel on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, thereby increasing its budgetary resources.
Meeting between Mr. Laurent Fabius and his Israeli counterpart, Mr. Avigdor Lieberman, on the sidelines of the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels (23.07.12)
This meeting will provide an opportunity to reaffirm the French authorities' solidarity following the attacks that targeted Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, to review Franco-Israeli bilateral relations and to discuss various regional issues.
Increase in tensions in Gaza and southern Israel (18.06.12)
France is extremely concerned by the violence that has taken place in recent days in Gaza and southern Israel. It strongly condemns the firing of rockets on Israeli territory, as well as the terrorist attack which killed an Israeli civilian.
Israel – Announcement of new settlement activity (07.06.12)
We urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from implementing these announcements. We reaffirm that settlement activity is illegal under international law, undermines, on the ground, the foundations of the two-State solution and constitutes an obstacle to peace.
Meeting between Laurent Fabius and Yaakov Amidror, head of Israel's National Security Council (06.06.12))
The minister notably stressed to Mr. Amidror France's commitment to finding a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its unswerving determination with respect to the Iranian nuclear issue – issues regarding which we are engaged in continuous dialogue with Israel.
Visit to Paris by the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mr. Mahmoud Abbas (07-08.06.12)
This visit, which is the first by a Palestinian leader since the start of the five-year term of office, will provide an opportunity for France to affirm its commitment to just and lasting peace in the Middle East, requiring the establishment of a viable and sovereign Palestinian State living side by side in peace and security with Israel.
Conclusion of an agreement between the Israeli authorities and the representatives of Palestinian prisoners in Israel (15.05.12)
We welcome the planned measures, notably those aimed at improving the detention conditions of the Palestinian prisoners, which respond to a long-standing demand on the part of President Abbas.
Firing of rockets on southern Israel (10.05.12)
These rocket attacks are unacceptable. France calls for the respect of the ceasefire around Gaza, in accordance with UNSCR 1860, as well as for the utmost restraint in order to avoid any risk of escalation.
Situation of the Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike in Israel (09.05.12)
We're extremely concerned by the rapidly deteriorating health of several Palestinian prisoners who have gone on hunger strike in Israel. For humanitarian reasons, we urge the Israeli authorities to be sensitive to the risk of a tragic outcome and to take appropriate action as a matter of urgency.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: The head-lamp is small and lightweight, the light is bright enough. Head strap is fitting good.
Cons: In my case, there was a difference, that my headlamp was WITHOUT CLIP and for me it´s a big con, because you cannot use it in other way, only on your own head.
Also, there is no switch. The lamp turns on after twisting the body of lamp. Its a little bit hard, because of watterproof sealant.
Other: For this price its a really good tool (if the clip isn´t missing).

I have a textfile I need to open and I need to put each line into the array. What is the simplest way to add the elements/each line's data into the array while increasing the array as it reads each line? This is blowing my mind right now...
I thought about using a counter and then redim-ing the array (while preserving of course). If so, how would that be constructed? Thanks!
I would use a list(Of T)
Heres 2 ways you could do that.
'Add with list(Of T) Dim fStream As New System.IO.FileStream("c:\text.txt", IO.FileMode.Open) Dim sReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(fStream) Dim List As New List(Of String) Do While sReader.Peek >= 0 List.Add(sReader.ReadLine) Loop 'to go back to an array Dim thisArray As String() = List.ToArray fStream.Close() sReader.Close() 'with Array fStream = New System.IO.FileStream("c:\text.txt", IO.FileMode.Open) sReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(fStream) Dim sArray As String() Dim Index As Integer = 0 Do While sReader.Peek >= 0 ReDim Preserve sArray(Index) sArray(Index) = sReader.ReadLine Index += 1 Loop fStream.Close() sReader.Close()
Keep in mind you can use a List(of T) the same way as an array.
'You can use the List(Of T) the same way as an array. Dim thisLine As String For i = 0 To List.Count - 1 thisLine = List(i) Next For Each S As String In List thisLine = S Next 'And if you wanted your array to be 1 based then you could 'get rid of the index. Dim sArray(0) As String Do While sReader.Peek >= 0 ReDim Preserve sArray(sArray.Length) sArray(UBound(sArray)) = sReader.ReadLine Loop
why not just:
Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\myFie.txt") For Each line As String In lines 'do what you want with each single line Next

[RELEASE] Steel Droid 3: 1.0 Gingerbread - 9-26-2011
Steel Droid 3 v1.0 Gingerbread
September 26, 2011
version 1.0
MD5: 6f7a1314aa6035badf2a227ee9bdf48f
If you like my work, please consider donating
================================================== =======
Open up the Browser, and type in "about:debug" (minus the quotes of course)
This will enable debug settings and the Java Console.
================================================== =======
Based on 5.6.890 (2.3.4)
Fully deodexed system
Added hosts file for ad blocking
Added Steel Droid boot animation
Added lots of build.prop edits
Added Motorola FM Radio app
Removed bloatware
Removed Google Maps
Removed Gmail
Removed News Widget
Removed Blur Email
Upgraded Busybox to 1.18.2
Upgraded Superuser to 3.0 main and 3.0 binary
Fixed stock SMS app FC error
Smoothed out menu and list scrolling
Decreased display wakeup during calls
Flashing instructions:
OK, this is where everybody is going to get confused. This does NOT work the same as the OG Droid did. At least not yet. So, follow my directions exactly, and you should have no problems getting what you need to work! These instructions will take you from bone stock, to my custom ROM, with the LEAST amount of errors.
1: Download the 5.6.890 SBF file HERE
2: Download RSDLite 5.5 (Use Google)
3: Extract the contents of the SBF file to a folder on your computer
4: Install RSDLite
5: Boot the Droid 3 into bootloader by holding both Vol+ & Vol- at the same time when powering the phone on
6: Select "AP Fastboot" and press Vol+ to select it
7: Select the XML from the extracted SBF file in RSDLite
8: Connect the phone, and when it says "Connected", hit "Start"
9: Wait for the phone to finish flashing, and booting (it will reboot a couple times, leave it alone, its supposed to!)
10: Install and run Petes Motorola Root Tools. Download it HERE
11: Follow the instructions in the app to root your phone
12: Once rooted, use Koush's Droid 3 Bootstrap app to install CWM Recovery
13: BEFORE you use the bootstrap, mount "USB Mass Storage" on your phone, and copy my ROM to the INTERNAL STORAGE (drive label is "MOT")
14: Now open the bootstrap app, click the top button FIRST, then once successful, click the bottom button to go into recovery
15: Go to "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from internal sdcard", then select my ROM's zip file
16: After it installs, back out and reboot the phone
Give the ROM time to boot. The first boot took me almost 5 minutes! If your phone doesnt boot in 15 minutes, pull the battery and try again. If it still doesnt boot, you need to go back and start over with my instructions at the beginning!
ALSO: Please be sure to check out the free tethering hack! I use it regularly, and it DOES work. Quite well I might add. Details HERE
Here are my thanks, in no particular order:
and a few more...
Sorry, its too late for me to be staying up. I have work in a few hours, and will update the post with more pertinent info as I remember it.

After failing to do my 4pm-midnight basal test the previous day due to all the craziness that ensued (and my high sugar reading at the start of the test) I decided to go all the way and fast for almost 24 hours to get my 8am-midnight readings in one shot. I was determined!
The night before, having no need to fast I made sure to stuff my face in preparation for the day-long fasting torture the next day. I even set my alarm for 3am in case my sugar needed adjustment, as I needed it to…

A shared bike and pedestrian path that gives individuals and families a place to get out and engage with their community actively, all the while protecting a resource for future transit.
The Wasson Way is a proposed path that will go 6.5 miles from Xavier University to the Little Miami Bike Trail in Newtown. It would give 120,000 people, living within one mile of the trail, access to a network of over 100 miles of bike and pedestrian trails, most of which already exist. With a short connector to Armleder Park near Lunken Airport, the network of trails will soon go from Coney Island to downtown, from Lunken Airport to Milford and beyond, eventually connecting to northern Ohio.
Over the last 20 years we've seen cities transition abandoned spaces such as these into remarkable greenways that enliven communities, increase commerce, and attract residents. In cities like Minneapolis, Indianapolis and Washington DC, which have urban trails, they are consistently mentioned as one of the best features of those cities.
The Wasson Road railroad tracks span the neighborhoods of Evanston, Norwood, Hyde Park, Oakley, Mt Lookout, Fairfax, and Mariemont. The neighborhoods of Walnut Hills, Avondale, North Avondale and even Roselawn and Bond Hill will be able to reach the Wasson Way via bike lanes along Victory Parkway. The trail begins at Xavier University, passes by Withrow High School, Rookwood Pavilion, Hyde Park Plaza, Ault Park, and ends at the beginning of the 78 mile Little Miami Bike Trail. You can go all the way to Dayton, OH or Urbana, OH on this trail! In the future, it will also connect to Cincinnati's riverfront via the Ohio River Way Trail.
Car-free thoroughfares like this allow for families to walk to local businesses, give easier access to safe areas to exercise, and are great places for communities to connect, and increase property values.
Please note that part of the Wasson Way right-of-way still belongs to the railroad company, but the tracks have not been used for over two years. All the businesses that used the railroad tracks have been permanently changed to support residential activities. The railroad trestle over Red Bank Road is deteriorating and will require significant repairs, if it is to ever be used again.
We are a group of volunteers supporting the transformation of these tracks into a bike and pedestrian path that can be enjoyed by the community while protecting the right-of-way for the proposed transit rail. The Wasson Way is a non-profit organization. We hope you will join our efforts!
We will be updating the page regularly to let you know ways you can show your support to make this a reality. We would like to have as much public involvement as possible, at all stages of the project! Thank you!

Clovis North High School Drama Teacher, Andrew Cardillo, was arrested last Thursday for having sex with a student.
He has since bailed out of jail, but investigators say he could soon be charged with multiple sex crimes against a minor.
One former student, who spoke with KSEE 24 News, says the news of Cardillo's arrest only confirms what she already knew.

Just more of a whats-going-on post in my world. It really has nothing of service.
So, recently, I've finished my term, got a job and moved in Waterloo. This will mark the first time I haven't gone back home after the terms, and I'm excited. I thank my parents for all of the continued support that they give me, but I also really appreciate trying things on my own.
Over the summer I'll be working at RIM putting hardware together. I expect it to be mildly more stimulating than cleaning beef grinders. At least hardware testing is vaugely almost related to things I want to do.
The server has officially moved to infornography.ca, though I'm looking at finding a more permanent solution to these hosting issues. Uptime may be spotty.
And my room rocks. It's literally a cave. I'm tucked away in the corner of an attic of a four-square home. There's about 3 feet of clearance for my bed. It's fun to live in for now, not permanently, and at least the cave remains fairly dark. I should paint wildebeests, penguins and daemons or something like that on the walls with fingerpaints.
