What are you planning to spend your money from Ralph on? I've spent mine about 6 times over in my head from the very reasonable to the very unreasonable......maybe I'll just put it in the bank....
Are they going to tax you on it. Give you 400 and tax ou so they can get some of it back ?
I think I am going to buy Christmas gifts with it and treat myself to a massage... Oh and clothing! Oh and new shoes.. Wait we only get $400 right? hmmm.. Maybe I will have to take DH's too...
Yes it's supposed to be every man, woman and child.
every member of a household?...wow not too bad if that's the case
I saw in the paper today anyone born or living in Alberta in 2005 will get the $400.00. Some households will get a nice chegue.
For any Albertan that is concerned with their share of the money going to hospitals and schools they can make a lovely contribution to the charity, school and hospital of their choice. I am sure it will be much appreciated and put to good use. ;)
that's what i mean...why we have to ship it south then buy it from elsewhere makes no sense to me...but who knows maybe there is a method to their madness...
I can't figure this one out. It's not like Klien isn't retiring so why butter us up like this?
Well I sure hope that if they do hand it out they do it fairly (unlike some other past efforts). For me personally I hope it's not based on last years tax returns because I haven't done mine yet. If it is, I guess I better get busy with that too. I'd prefer they just credit our energy/utility bills like they did before (although I guess that leaves out a lot of people who rent). It's an interesting problem of how to do if fairly I guess.
For the life of me I can't imagine why that money isn't being poured into our health system or some other struggling area. That's a lot of MRI machines or staffing hours they could be buying instead.
Meanwhile jenjen, you do get our oil/gas (or at least all that is allowed to stay in Canada...so stupid, we ship south etc. and have to then import from OPEC thank you to someone in Ottawa as I understand it) and you get it for the same price we pay. It drives me nuts. Here we pay approx. $2 - 3,000 more to buy a car (shipping costs we are told) and in the same breath we are told that when you take off the Fed. and Prov. taxes from each province's gas prices, we pay more for oil and gas that comes right from here....go figure. So if you are paying more at the station, it's the extra provincial tax you are paying, not any $$ coming back to AB. So we may be cheaper than some places, but we sure aren't getting any breaks on it at the general public's level, that's for sure.
dragonlady! I think it's great that Alberta is doing so well, but I don't buy the argument that unbudgeted money cannot fund projects because it will not be available next year. Fund capital projects, then!! Build something, fix something, invest in something!!! What a stupid argument!
from Alberta, but now that I'm a Newfoundlander I guess I don't qualify for the $400. Mind you, this province is also beginning to rake in the big oil buck; but Danny Williams doesn't appear to be in too big a hurry to give anyone here an extra $400 :-(
i hear ya...i wouldn't turn it away either...but are right about other uses...hospitals, schools, and farmers that lost due to the border problem with the cattle...but congrats to all Albertans....yeeehaaawwww!!!!!....lol...how about sharing that oil that they have with the rest of Canada...ease the gas gouging...i heard there is enough oil in Alberta to supply all of Canada til 2010...
geez dragonlady...is Mr. Klien being generous?...what's it from or for ?

ABSTRACT: A high body mass index (BMI) is a major risk factor for several chronic diseases, but the biology underlying these associations is not well-understood. Dyslipidemia, inflammation, and elevated levels of growth factors and sex steroid hormones explain some of the increased disease risk, but other metabolic factors not yet identified may also play a role. In order to discover novel metabolic biomarkers of BMI, we used non-targeted metabolomics to assay 317 metabolites in blood samples from 947 participants and examined the cross-sectional associations between metabolite levels and BMI. Participants were from three studies in the United States and China. Height, weight, and potential confounders were ascertained by questionnaire (US studies) or direct measurement (Chinese study). Metabolite levels were measured using liquid-phase chromatography and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. We evaluated study-specific associations using linear regression, adjusted for age, gender, and smoking, and we estimated combined associations using random effects meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed 37 metabolites significantly associated with BMI, including 19 lipids, 12 amino acids, and 6 others, at the Bonferroni significance threshold (P < 0.00016). Eighteen of these associations had not been previously reported, including histidine, an amino acid neurotransmitter, and butyrylcarnitine, a lipid marker of whole-body fatty acid oxidation. Heterogeneity by study was minimal (all P heterogeneity > 0.05). In total, 110 metabolites were associated with BMI at the P < 0.05 level. These findings establish a baseline for the BMI metabolome, and suggest new targets for researchers attempting to clarify mechanistic links between BMI and disease risk.Metabolomics 04/2014; 10(2). · 4.43 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The association of dietary fiber intake with colorectal cancer risk is established. However, the association may differ between cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. We evaluated this hypothesis in a large colonoscopy-based case-control study. Dietary fiber intakes were estimated by self-administered food frequency questionnaire. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to estimate ORs and 95% CIs with adjustment for potential confounders. Analysis also was stratified by cigarette smoking and sex. High dietary fiber intake was associated with reduced risk of colorectal polyps (P-trend = 0.003). This association was found to be stronger among cigarette smokers (P-trend = 0.006) than nonsmokers (P-trend = 0.21), although the test for multiplicative interaction was not statistically significant (P = 0.11). This pattern of association was more evident for high-risk adenomatous polyps (ADs), defined as advanced or multiple ADs (P-interaction smoking and dietary fiber intake = 0.09). Among cigarette smokers who smoked ≥23 y, a 38% reduced risk of high-risk ADs was found to be associated with high intake of dietary fiber compared with those in the lowest quartile fiber intake group (P-trend = 0.004). No inverse association with dietary fiber intake was observed for low-risk ADs, defined as single nonadvanced ADs. Cigarette smoking may modify the association of dietary fiber intake with the risk of colorectal polyps, especially high-risk ADs, a well-established precursor of colorectal cancer.Journal of Nutrition 02/2014; · 4.20 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cholelithiasis and cholecystectomy have been proposed as risk factors for liver cancer, but findings have been inconsistent. We assessed this association using data from the Shanghai Women's and Men's Health Studies. History of cholelithiasis and cholecystectomy were reported at baseline and follow-up interviews, and liver cancer diagnoses were ascertained from the Shanghai Cancer Registry and Vital Statistics Unit. Adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% CIs were calculated after adjustment for potential confounders. A history of cholelithiasis and cholecystectomy was reported by 9.5% and 3.6% of participants at baseline, respectively. After a total of 859 882 person-years of follow-up for women and 391 093 for men, incident liver cancer was detected in 160 women and 252 men. A positive association was observed between a history of cholelithiasis or cholecystectomy and liver cancer in men (aHR 1.46; 95% CI 1.02 to 2.07) and women (aHR 1.55; 95% CI 1.06 to 2.26). Similar results were observed for cholelithiasis only, but cholecystectomy did not reach statistical significance. There was no strong evidence for detection bias of liver cancer due to cholelithiasis or cholecystectomy. Our study suggests that cholelithiasis and possibly cholecystectomy may increase the risk of liver cancer.Journal of epidemiology and community health 02/2014; · 3.04 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Uncertainty remains on the relationship between a family history of liver cancer and liver cancer risk in prospective cohort studies in a general population. Thus, we examined this association in 133,014 participants in the Shanghai Women's and Men's Health Studies. Family history of liver cancer was categorized through dichotomous and proportional score approaches. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were derived using the Cox proportional hazards models with adjustment for potential confounders. A meta-analysis of observational studies through December 2013 on liver cancer risk in relation to family history of liver cancer was also performed. Study-specific risk estimates were combined using fixed or random effects models depending on whether significant heterogeneity was detected. For the Shanghai Women's and Men's Health Studies, 299 liver cancer cases were identified during follow-up through 2010. Family history of liver cancer was associated with liver cancer risk using both binary indicator (HR=2.60, 95%CI: 1.77-3.80) and proportional score (high-risk vs. minimal-risk category: HR=3.03, 95%CI: 1.73-5.31), with increasing HRs for increasing score categories. The Meta-analysis also showed an increased risk for those with a family history of liver cancer (RR=2.55, 95% CI: 2.05-3.16). Family history of liver cancer was related to increased risk of liver cancer in Chinese population. This risk is particularly high for those with an affected mother. The "dose-response" of risk with an increasing family history score of liver cancer might further facilitate future cancer prevention programs on identifying individuals with the highest potential liver cancer risk. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.International Journal of Cancer 02/2014; · 6.20 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies have discovered multiple genetic loci associated with breast cancer risk. Investigating these loci would be helpful to evaluate previous findings and identify causal variants for breast cancer. We evaluated index SNPs in 17 of these loci in a study of 1,511 cases and 1,454 controls of European descent. We investigated the overall association with breast cancer and among subtypes defined as ER+ (estrogen receptor positive), ER- (estrogen receptor negative) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Combined effects of SNPs on breast cancer risk were assessed via a genetic risk score. We evaluated the contribution of both genetic variants and traditional risk factors to a breast cancer risk assessment model. Five of the 17 SNPs were significantly associated (P ≤ 0.05) with overall breast cancer in the same direction as previously reported: rs13387042 (2q35/TNP1), rs4973768 (3p24/SLC4A7), rs2046210 (6q25/ESR1), rs1219648 (10q26/FGFR2), and rs4784227 (16q12/TOX3). When stratified by breast cancer subtype, all five SNPs were associated (P < 0.05) with ER+ cancer, three with ER- cancer (rs13387042, rs1219648, and rs4784227), and one with TNBC (rs1219648). A GRS, based on those five significant SNPs, showed strong association with overall breast cancer with ORs (95 % CI) of 1.48 (1.22-1.79), 1.85 (1.52-2.25) and 2.26 (1.82-2.80), respectively, for each quartile, (P = 2.0 × 10(-15)). Traditional risk factors, including previous benign breast disease, breast cancer family history and parity, were significantly associated with breast cancer risk in the present study. These factors, together with the GRS, were used to build a breast cancer risk assessment model with a c statistic of 0.6321 from receiver operating characteristic analysis. The contribution of the GRS to the model was greater than prior benign breast disease, family history and parity with the c statistic change of 0.0374, 0.0324, 0.0103, 0.0012, respectively. Our study demonstrates that five SNPs were associated with overall breast cancer, with stronger association for ER+ than ER- cancer as previously reported, and suggests that a risk assessment model incorporating the GRS from five loci is useful in identifying women at high risk of breast cancer.Breast Cancer 02/2014; · 1.33 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Age at menopause marks the end of a woman¡¦s reproductive life and its timing associates with risks for cancer, cardiovascular and bone disorders. GWAS and candidate gene studies conducted in women of European ancestry have identified twenty-seven loci associated with age at menopause. The relevance of these loci to women of African ancestry has not been previously studied. We therefore sought to uncover additional menopause loci and investigate the relevance of European menopause loci by performing a GWAS meta-analysis in 6510 women with African ancestry derived from eleven studies across the United States. We did not identify any additional loci significantly associated with age at menopause in African Americans. We replicated the associations between six loci and age at menopause (p-value <0.05): AMHR2, RHBLD2, PRIM1, HK3/UMC1, BRSK1/TMEM150B and MCM8. In addition, associations of fourteen loci are directionally consistent with previous reports. We provide evidence that genetic variants influencing reproductive traits identified in European populations are also important in women of African ancestry residing in United States.Human Molecular Genetics 02/2014; · 7.69 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: To date, common genetic variants in ~70 loci have been identified for breast cancer via genome-wide association studies (GWAS). It is unknown whether rare variants in these loci are also associated with breast cancer risk. Methods: We investigated rare missense/nonsense variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) ≤ 5% located in flanking 500 kb of each of the index SNPs in 67 GWAS loci. The study included 3,472 cases and 3,595 controls from the Shanghai Breast Cancer Study. Both single marker and gene-based analyses were conducted to investigate the associations. Results: Single marker analyses identified 38 missense variants being association with breast cancer risk at P < 0.05 after adjusting for the index SNP. SNP rs146217902 in the EDEM1 gene and rs200340088 in the EFEMP2 gene were only observed in 8 cases (P=0.004 for both). SNP rs200995432 in the EFEMP2 gene was associated with increased risk with an odds ratio (OR) of 6.2 (95% CI:1.4-27.6, P=6.2×10-3). SNP rs80358978 in the BRCA2 gene was associated with 16.5-fold elevated risk (95% CI:2.2-124.5, P=2.2×10-4). Gene-based analyses suggested eight genes associated with breast cancer risk at P<0.05, including the EFEMP2 gene (P=0.002) and the FBXO18 gene (P=0.008). Conclusion: Our results identified association of several rare coding variants neighboring common GWAS loci with breast cancer risk. Further investigation of these rare variants and genes would help to understand the biological mechanisms underlying the associations. Impact: Independent studies with larger sample size are warranted to clarify the relationship between these rare variants and breast cancer risk.Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention 01/2014; · 4.56 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Few studies have investigated vitamin D status in association with modifiable lifestyle factors and clinical characteristics among breast cancer patients, with no studies among Chinese women, who may be at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency. We aimed to evaluate circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels in association with clinical and lifestyle factors among 1,940 Chinese breast cancer patients. Participants included breast cancer cases aged 22-77 from a population-based case-control study conducted in Shanghai, China during 1996-1998 (n = 1,044) and 2002-2005 (n = 896). Circulating 25(OH)D levels were measured in plasma samples (95% collected ≤6 months post-diagnosis). Prevalence ORs and 95% CIs were derived from multinomial logistic regression models, adjusting for age, season, and other factors. About 23% and 48% of women were vitamin D deficient (<30 nmol/L) or insufficient (30-50 nmol/L), respectively. Tumor characteristics were not associated with vitamin D status. Higher BMI was associated with increased odds of vitamin D deficiency (ORs (95% CIs): 1 (reference), 1.12 (0.85,1.47), and 1.57 (1.02,2.42), for <23, 23-<27.5, and ≥27.5 kg/m(2), respectively, Ptrend <0.06). Total physical activity was associated with reduced odds of vitamin D deficiency (ORs (95% CIs):1 (reference), 0.84 (0.59,1.20), 0.65 (0.45,0.93), and 0.69 (0.48,1.00), for <7.65, 7.65-<10.6, 10.6-<13.5, ≥13.5 MET-hours/day, respectively, Ptrend <0.02). Smoking was associated with vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency (ORs (95% CIs): 2.50 (1.07,5.84) and 2.78 (1.11,6.95), respectively). In the largest study to date, the prevalence of low vitamin D status was high among Chinese breast cancer patients and associated with higher BMI, smoking, and lower physical activity. Our findings support careful monitoring of vitamin D status and recommendations for supplementation and other lifestyle modifications that may improve vitamin D status in breast cancer patients.PLoS ONE 01/2014; 9(1):e86467. · 3.73 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of colorectal cancer (CRC) have been conducted primarily in European descendants. In a GWAS conducted in East Asians, we first analyzed approximately 1.7 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in four studies with 1,773 CRC cases and 2,642 controls. We then selected 66 promising SNPs for replication and genotyped them in three independent studies with 3,612 cases and 3,523 controls. Five SNPs were further evaluated using data from four additional studies including up to 3,290 cases and 4,339 controls. SNP rs7229639 in the SMAD7 gene was found to be associated with CRC risk with an odds ratio (95% confidence interval) associated with the minor allele (A) of 1.22 (1.15-1.29) in the combined analysis of all 11 studies (P = 2.93×10(-11) ). SNP rs7229639 is 2,487 bp upstream from rs4939827, a risk variant identified previously in a European-ancestry GWAS in relation to CRC risk. However, these two SNPs are not correlated in East Asians (r(2) = 0.008) nor in Europeans (r(2) = 0.146). The CRC association with rs7229639 remained statistically significant after adjusting for rs4939827 as well as three additional CRC risk variants (rs58920878, rs12953717, and rs4464148) reported previously in this region. SNPs rs7229639 and rs4939827 explained approximately 1% of the familial relative risk of CRC in East Asians. This study identifies a new CRC risk variant in the SMAD7 gene, further highlighting the significant role of this gene in the etiology of CRC. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.International Journal of Cancer 01/2014; · 6.20 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Examine potential modifying effects of body weight and bilateral oophorectomy on the association of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with risk of breast cancer, overall and by subtypes according to status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human-epidermal-growth-factor receptor 2 (Her2) among postmenopausal women. This analysis included 2,510 postmenopausal white women recruited in the Nashville Breast Health Study, a population-based case-control study of breast cancer. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for associations between HRT use and risk of breast cancer overall and by subtypes, adjusted for age and education. Among women with natural menopause and body-mass-index (BMI) <25kg/m2, ever-use of HRT was associated with increased breast-cancer risk (OR=1.95, 95%CI=1.32-2.88). Risk was elevated with duration of HRT use (p-for-trend=0.002). Similar association patterns were found for ER+, ER+PR+, and luminal-A cancer subtypes but not ER-, ER-PR-, and triple-negative cancer. In contrast, ever-HRT-use in overweight women (BMI≥25kg/m2) showed no association with breast-cancer risk overall or by subtypes; interaction tests for modifying effect of BMI were statistically significant. Ever-HRT-use was associated with decreased breast-cancer risk (OR=0.70, 95%CI=0.38-1.31) among women with prior bilateral oophorectomy but elevated risk (OR=1.45, 95%CI=0.92-2.29) among those with hysterectomy without bilateral oophorectomy (p-for-interaction=0.057). Similar associations were seen for virtually all breast-cancer subtypes, although interaction tests were statistically significant for ER+ and luminal A only. Body weight and bilateral oophorectomy modify associations between HRT use and breast-cancer risk, especially the risk of hormone-receptor-positive tumors.Clinical Cancer Research 01/2014; · 7.84 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate associations of premature ovarian failure (POF) with mortality and morbidity in Asian populations. We identified 1,003 cases of POF among 36,402 postmenopausal women who participated in the Shanghai Women's Health Study, a population-based cohort study. Cox regression and logistic regression models were applied in data analysis. After adjustment for potential confounding factors, we found that POF increased the risk of total and cancer-specific mortality (HR (95%CIs): 1.29 (1.08-1.54) and 1.38 (1.05-1.81), respectively). POF was also associated with high prevalence of autoimmune disease (OR (95%CI): 1.56 (1.04-2.35)) but decreased incidence of breast cancer (OR (95%CI): 0.59 (0.38-0.91)). Similar results were observed when hormone replacement therapy users were excluded from the analysis. POF is associated with high waist-to-hip ratio. Our results suggest that women with POF experience increased mortality and that these women may benefit from heightened surveillance and appropriate interventions.PLoS ONE 01/2014; 9(3):e89597. · 3.73 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Genetic variations of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signalling pathway were found to be associated with inflammatory diseases and several malignancies. However, little is known about NF-κB pathway gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of liver cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate whether genetic variants of NFKB1 and NFKBIA were associated with risk of liver cancer in a Chinese population. The study was designed as a nested case-control study within two prospective cohorts (the Shanghai Women's Health Study, SWHS, 1996-2000 and the Shanghai Men's Health Study, SMHS, 2002-2006). This population-based study was conducted in urban Shanghai, China. A total of 217 incident liver cancer cases diagnosed through 31 December 2009 and 427 healthy controls matched by sex, age at baseline (±2 years) and date (±30 days) of sample collection were included in the study. Genetic polymorphisms of NFKB1 and NFKBIA were determined blindly by TaqMan single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assay. OR and its 95% CIs were estimated by an unconditional logistic regression model to measure the association between selected SNPs and the risk of liver cancer. After adjusted for potential confounding factors, rs28362491 ins/del or del/del genotypes were associated with higher risk of liver cancer with an adjusted OR 1.54 (95% CI 1.04 to 2.28). rs230496 AG and GG genotypes were also noted with higher risk of liver cancer with an adjusted OR 1.53 (95% CI 1.03 to 2.26). Haplotype analysis indicated that carriers of the NFKB1 GA and AA (rs230525-rs230530) haplotypes had higher risk of liver cancer under an additive model. No association was observed between NFKBIA variants and risk of live cancer. Our results suggest that genetic variants of NFKB1 influence liver cancer susceptibility in Chinese population, although replication in other studies is needed.BMJ Open 01/2014; 4(2):e004427. · 1.58 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We used a two-stage study design to evaluate whether variations in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) and the PPAR gamma co-activator 1 (PGC1) gene families (PPARA, PPARG, PPARD, PPARGC1A, and PPARGC1B) are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. Stage I used data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) from Shanghai, China (1019 T2D cases and 1709 controls) and from a meta-analysis of data from the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network for T2D (AGEN-T2D). Criteria for selection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for stage II were: (1) P < 0.05 in single marker analysis in Shanghai GWAS and P < 0.05 in the meta-analysis or (2) P < 10(-3) in the meta-analysis alone and (3) minor allele frequency ≥ 0.10. Nine SNPs from the PGC1 family were assessed in stage II (an independent set of middle-aged men and women from Shanghai with 1700 T2D cases and 1647 controls). One SNP in PPARGC1B, rs251464, was replicated in stage II (OR = 0.87; 95% CI: 0.77-0.99). Gene-body mass index (BMI) and gene-exercise interactions and T2D risk were evaluated in a combined dataset (Shanghai GWAS and stage II data: 2719 cases and 3356 controls). One SNP in PPARGC1A, rs12640088, had a significant interaction with BMI. No interactions between the PPARGC1B gene and BMI or exercise were observed.Annals of Human Genetics 01/2014; 78(1):23-32. · 2.22 Impact Factor -
Article: Association of soy food intake with risk and biomarkers of coronary heart disease in Chinese men
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Soy foods Coronary heart disease Men Prospective cohort study Interleukin-8 Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 Soy food intake has been associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in women, but its association with CHD in men is unclear [1–3]. Several studies have found sex differences in the associa-tions of soy intake with metabolic syndrome, endothelial function, and other cardiovascular risk factors [4,5]. In the Shanghai Men's Health Study [6], we investigated the association between soy food intake and incident CHD among 55,474 Chinese men (40–74 years) who were free of CHD, stroke, and cancer at baseline (2002–2006). We also examined the associations of soy intake with multiple CHD biomarkers in a subsample of 3885 men who provided fasting blood samples and had no history of major chronic diseases at recruitment.International Journal of Cardiology 01/2014; · 5.51 Impact Factor -
Article: Genome-wide scan of 29,141 African Americans finds no evidence of selection since admixture
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We scanned through the genomes of 29,141 African Americans, searching for loci where the average proportion of African ancestry deviates significantly from the genome-wide average. We failed to find any genome-wide significant deviations, and conclude that any selection in African Americans since admixture is sufficiently weak that it falls below the threshold of our power to detect it using a large sample size. These results stand in contrast to the findings of a recent study of selection in African Americans. That study, which had 15 times fewer samples, reported six loci with significant deviations. We show that the discrepancy is likely due to insufficient correction for multiple hypothesis testing in the previous study. The same study reported 14 loci that showed greater population differentiation between African Americans and Nigerian Yoruba than would be expected in the absence of natural selection. Four such loci were previously shown to be genome-wide significant and likely to be affected by selection, but we show that most of the 10 additional loci are likely to be false positives. Additionally, the most parsimonious explanation for the loci that have significant evidence of unusual differentiation in frequency between Nigerians and Africans Americans is selection in Africa prior to their forced migration to the Americas.12/2013; - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Triple negative (TN) breast cancer is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer associated with a unique set of epidemiologic and genetic risk factors. We conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) of TN breast cancer (stage 1: 1,529 TN cases, 3,399 controls; stage 2: 2,148 cases, 1,309 controls) to identify loci that influence TN breast cancer risk. Variants in the 19p13.1 and PTHLH loci showed genome-wide significant associations (p<5x10(-8)) in stage 1 and 2 combined. Results also suggested a substantial enrichment of significantly associated variants among the SNPs analyzed in stage 2. Variants from 25 of 74 known breast cancer susceptibility loci were also associated with risk of TN breast cancer (p<0.05). Associations with TN breast cancer were confirmed for ten loci (LGR6, MDM4, CASP8, 2q35, 2p24.1, TERT-rs10069690, ESR1, TOX3, 19p13.1, RALY), and we identified associations with TN breast cancer for 15 additional breast cancer loci (p<0.05: PEX14, 2q24.1, 2q31.1, ADAM29, EBF1, TCF7L2, 11q13.1, 11q24.3, 12p13.1, PTHLH, NTN4, 12q24, BRCA2, RAD51L1-rs2588809, MKL1). Further, two SNPs independent of previously reported signals in ESR1 (rs12525163 Odds Ratio (OR)=1.15, p=4.9x10(-4)) and 19p13.1 (rs1864112 OR=0.84, p=1.8x10(-9)) were associated with TN breast cancer. A polygenic risk score (PRS) for TN breast cancer based on known breast cancer risk variants showed a 4-fold difference in risk between the highest and lowest PRS quintiles (OR=4.03, 95% CI 3.46-4.70, p=4.8x10(-69)). This translates to an absolute risk for TN breast cancer ranging from 0.8% to 3.4%, suggesting that genetic variation may be used for TN breast cancer risk prediction.Carcinogenesis 12/2013; · 5.64 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: While there is clear evidence for an association between later age at first live birth and increased breast cancer risk, associations of other reproductive timings are less clear. As breast tissues undergo major structural and cellular changes during pregnancy, we examined associations between reproductive time events and intervals with breast cancer risk among parous women from the population-based Shanghai Breast Cancer Study (SBCS). Unconditional logistic regression was used to evaluate associations with breast cancer risk for 3,269 cases and 3,341 controls. In addition to later age at first live birth, later ages at first pregnancy and last pregnancy were significantly associated with increased breast cancer risk (P-trend=0.002, 0.015, 0.008, respectively); longer intervals from menarche to first or last live birth were also associated with increased risks (P-trend<0.001, =0.018, respectively). Analyses stratified by menopausal status and estrogen receptor (ER) / progesterone receptor (PR) status revealed that associations for later age at first pregnancy or live birth and longer intervals from menarche to first or last live birth occurred among pre-menopausal women and ER+/PR+ breast cancers, whereas the association for later age at last pregnancy occurred among postmenopausal women and ER+/PR- or ER-/PR+ breast cancers. Due to high correlation with other reproductive variables, models did not include adjustment for age at first live birth; when included, significance of all associations was attenuated. These findings suggest while reproductive time events and intervals play an important role in breast cancer etiology, contributions may differ by menopausal status and hormone receptor status of breast cancers. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.International Journal of Cancer 12/2013; · 6.20 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nitrate and nitrite are precursors of endogenously formed N-nitroso compounds (NOC), known animal carcinogens. Nitrosation reactions forming NOCs can be inhibited by vitamin C and other antioxidants. We prospectively investigated the association between dietary nitrate and nitrite intake and risk of colorectal cancer in the Shanghai Women's Health Study, a cohort of 73,118 women ages 40 to 70 residing in Shanghai. We evaluated effect modification by factors that affect endogenous formation of NOCs: vitamin C (at or above/below median) and red meat intake (at or above/below median). Nitrate, nitrite and other dietary intakes were estimated from a 77-item food frequency questionnaire administered at baseline. Over a mean of 11 years of follow-up, we identified 619 colorectal cancer cases (n=383, colon; n=236, rectum). Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression. Overall, nitrate intake was not associated with colorectal cancer risk (HR = 1.08; 95% CI: 0.73-1.59). However, among women with vitamin C intake below the median (83.9 mg/day) and hence higher potential exposure to NOCs, risk of colorectal cancer increased with increasing quintiles of nitrate intake (highest vs. lowest quintile HR = 2.45; 95% CI: 1.15-5.18; p-trend = 0.02). There was no association among women with higher vitamin C intake. We found no association between nitrite intake and risk of colorectal cancer overall or by intake level of vitamin C. Our findings suggest that high dietary nitrate intake among subgroups expected to have higher exposure to endogenously-formed NOCs increases risk of colorectal cancer. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.International Journal of Cancer 11/2013; · 6.20 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Brain glioma is a relatively rare and fatal malignancy in adulthood with few known risk factors. Some observational studies have reported inverse associations between diabetes and subsequent glioma risk, but possible mechanisms are unclear. Methods: We conducted a pooled analysis of original data from five nested case-control studies and two case-control studies from the U.S. and China that included 962 glioma cases and 2,195 controls. We examined self-reported diabetes history in relation to glioma risk, as well as effect modification by seven glioma risk-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We also examined the associations between 13 diabetes risk-associated SNPs, identified from genome-wide association studies, and glioma risk. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. Results: We observed a 42% reduced risk of glioma for individuals with a history of diabetes (OR=0.58, 95% CI: 0.40-0.84). The association did not differ by sex, study design, or after restricting to glioblastoma, the most common histological sub-type. We did not observe any significant per-allele trends among the 13 diabetes-related SNPs examined in relation to glioma risk. Conclusion: These results support an inverse association between diabetes history and glioma risk. The role of genetic susceptibility to diabetes cannot be excluded, and should be pursued in future studies together with other factors that might be responsible for the diabetes-glioma association. Impact: These data suggest the need for studies that can evaluate, separately, the association between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and subsequent risk of adult glioma.Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention 11/2013; · 4.56 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract Background: Leisure time exercise has been linked to lower circulating levels of inflammatory markers. Few studies have examined the association of nonexercise physical activity with markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis included 1005 Chinese women aged 40-70 years. Usual physical activity was assessed through in-person interviews using a validated physical activity questionnaire. Plasma proinflammatory cytokines and urinary F2-isoprostanes were measured. Multivariable linear models were used to evaluate the association of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers with nonexercise physical activity and its major components. Results: Nonexercise physical activity accounted for 93.8% of overall physical activity energy expenditure. Levels of nonexercise physical activity were inversely associated with circulating concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6 (Ptrend=0.004), IL-1β (Ptrend=0.03) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (Ptrend=0.01). Multivariable-adjusted concentrations of these cytokines were 28.2% for IL-6, 22.1% for IL-1β, and 15.9% for TNF-α lower in the highest quartile of nonexercise physical activity compared with the lowest quartile. Similar inverse associations were found for two major components of nonexercise physical activity, walking and biking for transportation, and household activity. No significant associations were observed between nonexercise physical activity and oxidative stress markers. Conclusion: Daily nonexercise physical activity is associated with lower levels of systemic inflammation. This finding may have important public health implications because this type of activity is the main contributor to overall physical activity among middle-aged and elderly women.Journal of Women s Health 10/2013; · 1.42 Impact Factor

I like my new vip622 but sometimes the TV2 picture is fuzzy. I scanned Ant and Cable for the correct channel for TV2 and channel 75 is the only option. Sometimes the picture on TV2 is clear and sometime it is fuzzy like poor UHF reception. The picture will change from clear to fuzzy (or fuzzy to clear) when I change channels on TV2 or when I change channels on TV1. I don't see a pattern to the behavior. Sometimes a DVR recording is fuzzy and sometimes the same recording is clear. The change only occurs when changing channels or going from DVR to live or live to DVR, it doesn't happen spontaneously on its own.
TV1 is a Panasonic HD Projection PT-47WX53G.
TV2 is a flat screen CRT HD Panasonic CT-27HL14
vip622 Software L366
Bootstrap 1711
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Washington (CNN) - An immigration proposal crafted for months in secret by a high-profile, bipartisan cadre of senators is both a rare moment of simpatico in politics and a matter of political practicality.
President Barack Obama, who won re-election with strong support from Latinos, the fastest-growing demographic, has called an overhaul of immigration a second-term priority. Meanwhile, Republicans who lost the Latino vote by large numbers, have signaled that mainstream members might be willing to compromise on thorny immigration issues.
FULL STORYWashington (CNN) – The pictures told the story: Vice President Joe Biden looked solemn, patrician and in control as he sat at a long table in the White House, flanked by people on both sides of the gun control issue.
The images conveyed a sense that the White House was in command on this issue.
FULL STORYWashington (CNN) - Partisan bickering, acrimony, mistrust, communication breakdowns, lines drawn in the sand and 11th-hour compromises are the new normal on Capitol Hill.
Managing to function in a constant state of dysfunction while fiercely fighting to eke out a better deal during negotiations is what happens when the stakes are high and people involved are deeply vested.
FULL STORYWashington (CNN) – The year 2012 was supposed to herald Hillary Clinton's swan song, a golden departure amid speculation that she might consider another run at the presidency in 2016.
Instead, the outgoing Secretary of State has found herself and her agency at the center of a scathing report about bloody attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
FULL STORYWashington (CNN) - Now that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice has withdrawn her name from consideration for secretary of state, her supporters are criticizing those who brought her down as well as President Barack Obama, a long-time friend, who they say left her twisting in the wind.
"I'm not just disappointed that President Obama didn't go forward (with the nomination). He accepted her resignation not to put her name forward," Donna Brazile, CNN political contributor and Democratic strategist, said on the Situation Room.
FULL STORYWashington (CNN) - The White House said President Barack Obama supports reinstatement of a federal ban on assault weapons - a position he took in the 2008 campaign but failed to press during his first term.
"It does remain a commitment of his," presidential spokesman Jay Carney told reporters as the nation reeled from a mass shooting in Connecticut that mainly killed school children.
FULL STORYWashington (CNN) - They're leaving.
With the nation heading full steam toward the $7 trillion fiscal cliff, the House of Representatives is taking a break without a deal in place yet to avert the mix of steep spending cuts and tax increases set to take effect in a matter of weeks.
Washington (CNN) - Lawmakers on congressional intelligence committees got a detailed account Thursday of what happened during an attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya that left four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, dead.
In closed-door sessions, lawmakers saw video recovered from the compound as part of their most comprehensive account, to date, of what happened on the ground in Benghazi on September 11, a senior intelligence official told CNN. They also heard an explanation as to what U.S. officials were doing behind the scenes to respond, the official said, adding that the presentation would clarify some mischaracterizations about the nature of the attack.
FULL STORYWashington (CNN) - When House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced that she would seek to keep her leadership role she stood flanked by a cheering phalanx of her female colleagues.
Pelosi, who prior to the Democratic Party's loss of the House in 2010 served as its first female speaker, sandwiched her announcement between pointed comments about the Democratic agenda and how she sees her party's policies as helpful to women. Pelosi said she would vie to keep her leadership role "in order to continue work on empowering women."
FULL STORYWashington (CNN) - When the incoming U.S. House freshmen of the 113th Congress take their class photo, the image will reflect two very different visions of the nation.
On the Democratic side: Women and minorities - a coalition that, along with young voters, largely helped re-elect President Barack Obama - collectively will for the first time in the nation's history outnumber white male Democrats.

Road Construction I-540
Traveling West on I-40? To avoid construction delays, do not take Exit 7 (I-540 S). Stay on I-40 west and take Exit 1 Dora. Stay on Hwy 64D for 6 miles and follow signs to Fort Smith. After crossing over the river, turn right on 4th ST & right on Garland. More »
The gallows at Fort Smith served as an instrument of federal justice for twenty-three years, from 1873-1896. During those years 86 men were executed for capital offenses on the gallows. While the gallows that stands today is a reconstruction, visitors are still drawn to the place where these executions were conducted. Perhaps no other place in Fort Smith illicits such interest and strong feelings.

(Monday, December 17th) Final Score: (22) Notre Dame 74, IPFW 62 South Bend, IN (Sports Network) - Pat Connaughton tallied 18 points, six rebounds and five assists as No. 22 Notre Dame defeated Indiana University- Purdue University Fort Wayne, 74-62, on Monday. Jack Cooley totaled 14 points and eight boards and Scott Martin followed with 13 points and seven rebounds for the Fighting Irish (10-1), who captured their eighth straight victory. "You know that team (IPFW) really defends" said Notre Dame coach Mike Brey, whose team overcame 13 turnovers. "They're athletic, they bothered us especially in the first half." Luis Jacobo and Joe Edwards each poured in 11 points for the Mastodons (5-7), who dropped their third straight game to fall to 1-6 on the road this season. "I give Notre Dame a lot of credit, they played well," said IPFW coach Tony Jasick. "In the second half down the stretch, I felt like we were making a little bit of a run, and I felt like they made a number of shots at the end of the shot clock when we were playing pretty good defense." Demario Hines, who chipped in with 10 points off the bench, scored on a layup to pull IPFW within two at 13-11 early in the contest, however Garrick Sherman's bucket for the Irish capped an 8-0 spurt to give them a 10-point lead just past the halfway point in the opening period. Notre Dame built a lead as many as 14 in the first half following a Martin triple and carried a 40-28 advantage into halftime. Jacobo nailed a 3-pointer early in the second stanza to bring the Mastodons within 44-33, but Notre Dame responded with an 11-3 run to take a 19-point lead with 13:37 to go. Edwards knocked down a three with just over three minutes left in the contest to cut IPFW's deficit to 12, but they never came any closer. Game Notes The Irish have won 14 straight at home and improved to 43-1 in their last 44 contests as the host ... IPFW is 0-4 all-time against Notre Dame. 12/17 22:43:49 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

In a private or independent adoption, prospective adoptive parents are advised by an adoption attorney, instead of working with an adoption agency.
In a typical independent adoption, the prospective parents take an active role in identifying a birth mother, usually by networking, advertising, or by using the Internet.
Another difference between independent and agency adoption is the method by which the birth parents give their consent to adoption. In an agency adoption, the birth parents relinquish their parental rights to an agency, and the agency, in turn, consents to an adoption by specific adoptive parents. In independent adoption, the birth parents give their consent directly to the adoptive parents.
During the course of the adoption, our firm will handle all the legal documents, negotiate payments to the birth mother, and represent you at the adoption court hearing.
Before a private adoption takes place, the adoptive parents must undergo a home study as well as a state and federal back ground check.

Alan Cowman's work has provided understanding of molecular mechanisms used by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to evade lethal effects of antimalarial drugs. This has allowed monitoring of the geographic spread of drug-resistant malaria in endemic areas. He has also illuminated how the malaria parasite invades and renovates the erythrocyte, an important process for avoidance of host responses. He has led technology development in reverse genetics of P. falciparum, describing the first gene knockout in this organism, and is using this approach to identify critical vaccine candidates and to construct genetically attenuated parasites as potential vaccines.

Hot answers tagged cross-compilation
On Debian, there are apt-cross and dpkg-cross from Emdebian, which let you set up cross-compilation for many architectures (you get cross-compilers and libraries).
On Ubuntu, there's a crosschain for ARM, and a project to improve on this.
You can also create toolchain using crosstool-ng which is not link to a distribution.
To run your program on the server, you will need to have the program installed there. You don't need administrator privileges to do this but you will need remote shell access to actually run the program. Your 4th requirement to not leave or install software on the server makes your proposition impossible. If you want to do processing on the server, you ...
If you look into drivers/usb/serial/Makefile, you'll see that CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_QUALCOMM is responsible for this driver.
Execute make menuconfig and goto "Device Drivers"->"USB support"->"USB Serial Converter support"->"USB Qualcomm Serial modem"
Emdebian repositories are recommended to be used in stable most of the time since there could be utilities not built in the repositories, packages that were pulled back, etc. If you want to ensure that all your libraries have the correct dependencies, I would suggest stable or testing since they are less likely to have some dependency problem or have ...
You need the gcc toolchain for both.
The toolchain is part of the android source tree. Before you build the entire android source, you use the "lunch" tool, which sets the environment variables such that a prebuilt toolchain can be used.
The page about compiling the android kernel has ...
You need two things to cross-compile: a compiler that can generate code for the target architecture, and the static libraries (*.a) for the target architecture. Install at least the libc6-dev-i386 packages, and possibly other lib32.*-dev packages. The libc6-dev-i386 also pulls in the components of gcc needed for cross-compilation in the gcc-multilib package ...
No, there's absolutely no reason why you should build X (or most programs) on the same operating system that you'll run it on. It's often more difficult, occasionally even impossible, to build software for a different processor architecture (amd64/arm/ppc/x86/…). Building for a different operating system is easier, and the precise kernel version is ...
The problem is that 'valgrind' is looking for a different executable to run the real checking. It uses the install path you specified when you configured it, which is not the same path as on the target.
You should be able to confirm this by creating a symlink /home/NFS_mounted on your target that points to '/'.
Cygwin aims to maximise POSIX and Linux source compatibility, whereas MinGW provides a GNU toolchain for building native Windows application. Hopefully this means that your Linux application requires no or only minor changes to build on Cygwin, whereas porting code using POSIX/Linux-specific APIs to native Windows can be a major effort. However, if you can ...
You can copy libraries to your embedded device provided that it's running the same operating system on the same processor architecture family. Your device has an x86 processor, which is the same family as 32-bit PCs. So if you have a 32-bit Linux system on your desktop machine, you can copy libraries and executables from your desktop machine to your device.
It's perfectly normal for certain processes to create other copies of themselves after execution, usually to improve performance through parallel execution. As for how it works, the process fork(2)'s (it may or may not also exec(2) another copy of itself, depending on the way it is implemented). See man 2 fork and man 2 exec.
Essentially, new processes in ...
You haven't passed the right options to Configure. Make sure to pass the argument linux-armv4. If you're cross-compiling, in addition to armv4, you need to pass the path to the cross-compiler, as well as include and library paths if necessary.
./Configure --cross-compiler-prefix=/opt/gcc-arm/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- -I/opt/gcc-arm/include -L/opt/gcc-arm/lib
The error message shows that you want to compile code for your platform (x86/64) with the ARM compiler which does not work. The configure script has not guessed the correct target ("TCC_TARGET_X86_64" instead of the ARM target).
Probably, you need the --cpu=armv7a (or what you exactly have) option
and/or the --cross-prefix=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- option. ...
This appears to me to be a bug in align.c 2.6.39 and previous with respect to GCC >= 4.6. I am guessing that you are building on a recent Fedora that has GCC 4.6 as the default installed GCC. The bug should not appear using GCC < 4.6 IMHO.
The variable "instruction" is declared on line 704 and initialized to zero.
It is then re-assigned on line 746. This ...
From what I can gather, you have x86 compiled libncursesw5 on the x86 machine and ARM compiled libncursesw5 on the Rpi.
What you need is ARM compiled libncursesw5 on the x86 machine. When you perform the ./configure command the step you encounter the error on is compiling a small program to link with libncursesw5 to test for its existence. You ARM cross ...
I believe you don't need to cross compile. You can simply use -march to indicate the cpu-type. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.2/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html for the complete list. In your case, -march=i586 should work.
You need to set up a cross compilation environment. That means installing a compiler and associated tools that run on your PC and compiles programs for the ARM9 processor.
It's not clear in your question whether your device is running Ubuntu 10.04, or your development machine is, or both.
Recent versions of Ubuntu (including 12.04) provide a ...
In order to cross compile, you must have (or build) a cross-compiler; gcc cannot, by default, just build for any target that it could be configured for. There is a list of possibilities in the gcc source package, I believe.
Building a cross compiler toolchain is not a simple undertaking, so if you want to do that, you have to decide what it's for and ask ...
The errors are likely from a wrong combination of build variables.
The CLFS Build Variable page has detailed explanation on the best combinations of variable settings for different architectures.
Similar configure script problems has been solved by changing the CLFS_ARCH variable to thumb
For another similar BeagleBoard configure script error, the ...
I hope they meant "embedded development environment" by "development workstation", since otherwise it is likely the application will not run at all due to architectural differences (invalid instruction errors).
The device appears to have a 32-bit x86 processor, so it shouldn't be hard to set up, yet copying libraries from your (probable) 64-bit system ...
The generic approach here is that you want to build a kernel package which you can install. After all, the kernel you're running on your laptop now was built on some server somewhere.
For Fedora or other Red Hat based distributions, you'd simply download the kernel source rpm (yum-downloadonly --source kernel), unpack that, modify the config to meet your ...
Cross compiling is compiling something for different CPU type than the one you are running on. An example is compiling ARM binaries under an i386 system, or compiling 64-bit executables under a 32-bit system.
You normally won't be able to run what you've just compiled when you cross compile it, until you ship the binaries to the system they belong to.
Scratchbox is cross-compilation suite.
It looks like Scratchbox 2 (sbox2) is new version of Scratchbox 1, maintained by Nokia for Maemo development. You can use it for general cross-compilation too. It is a fork of Scratchbox.
Main advantage of Scratchbox 2 is a more elegant approach on some corner cases.
It also performs better, as it uses native tools ...
If your kernel is 64-bit (and so you can run 64-bit binaries), you can start a new x86_64 Gentoo install in a chroot, following the usual instructions. I've done similar before — effectively a reinstall, but while still running the old system. If you don't have a spare block device to install to, you can use a subdirectory and either boot with ...
As far as I know it is not possible. Please remember that toolchain does not exist in vaccum and is interlinked.
What might work is to build cross-compiler of new infrastructure but I really doubt it - the "atomicity" on update of glibc will break everything.
I would advice backup & reinstall of system.

My Parliament
You are here:
First speeches come in all shapes and sizes because everyone is different. But everyone needs inspiration! Here are some resources to help get you started.
Not long after a new Parliament is opened, newly elected Members have the opportunity to make their first speech in the House of Representatives. A member's first speech, previously referred to as a maiden speech, is a tradition that originated from the British House of Commons. It is a significant occasion and an opportunity for a new Member to outline what they hope to achieve to the Parliament.
Members' first speeches are as diverse as the people they represent in their electorates. Many members choose to express their political views and goals in their first speeches while others thank their supporters or speak about personal experiences. Members may also mention specific issues affecting the people in their electorates, such as health or education, or speak about financial or economic matters.
There is a convention in the House that a first speech is heard without interjection or interruption, and the Chair normally draws the attention of the House to the fact that a Member is making a first speech. In return for this courtesy, the Member must follow a few conventions. This includes keeping their speech succinct and uncontroversial, so as not to provoke interjection.

Okay Cinema5D folks, I need some advice...
I've been shooting with a Canon 60D for 2yrs now. I've learned a lot and had a blast with it shooting stills and video but I'm considering upgrading soon. Part of the motivation for this is the mini HDMI socket has died and I'm not convinced its worth fixing.
Here are my choices: 5D mkii, 7D and the soon to be released 6D - The 5D mkiii is out of my budget which will come from selling used gear such as the 60D body.
If I go full frame then I can sell all my EF-S glass. However, I'm hesitant to go 5Dmkii because I think I'll miss not being able to shoot 60fps. I'm also hesitant to switch to a camera system that only takes CF cards when I'm pretty invested in SDHC.
What would you do in my position?

Novak Djokovic has a better life than you, gets massaged by four babes during event (video)
Nov 28, 2012, 1:15 PM EST
In what should come as a surprise to absolutely no-one, it appears once again that young, rich, handsome, athletic, famous dudes get all the breaks, and most of the women. Just ask Novak Djokovic, the #1 ranked men's tennis player in the world and modern-day Caligula, as he gets massaged by four gorgeous brunettes in the video below, seemingly in the midst of a competition.
The video, uploaded to YouTube on Monday, lacks context and unfortunately, my Serbian is rustier than the Tin Man in a wet t-shirt contest, but sometimes a picture (or a million of them in rapid succession) really is worth 1,000 words. Or perhaps just one: damn.
This raises one serious question: why the hell didn't anybody try to teach 8-year-old me a forehand? Instead I was busy learning all of the state capitals, which has landed me about as many chicks as being a fantasy football champion, which is to say, zero. Opportunity missed.
Oh, and in case your turbo-jealousy needed any more rocket fuel, Djokovic has won approximately 13 million dollars on the ATP tour this year, not including any endorsements or other earnings, and this is his girlfriend, who presumably doesn't even mind the above display of hedonism.
Your move, Federer.

Boston Youth Share Their Vision for Boston with Mayor Martin J. Walsh
On January 4, 2014, Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Boston 2014 Inaugural Committee hosted the first-ever "Youth Inaugural Summit" for the next generation of Bostonians. The summit welcomed hundreds of Boston youth to Roxbury Community College to share their vision for the city of Boston. Young people in grades six through nine were invited to join the Mayor for a day of brainstorming and dialogue about their hopes and dreams for themselves and the city.
Boston Neighborhood Network's Youth Media Initiatives provide a safe and supportive setting to educate youth under the age of 21 years in media arts and emerging technologies for use in self-expression, communication and social change. Through strategic partnerships, community grants and individual supporters, young people from all walks of life have an opportunity to share their ideas as well as raise visibility around the value of youth voices and perspectives using BNN's media resources.
Twelve Working Groups comprised of more than 200 practitioners, experts, community leaders and end users – will discuss and suggest policies and ideas that can advance key policy goals Mayor Martin J. Walsh laid out throughout the course of his campaign.
In addition, the transition team for Mayor Walsh will host a series of hearings open to the public, and Boston Neighborhood Network will be taping each hearing for viewing on our News and Information channel, Comcast 9 / RCN 15, and online.
