For more than sixty years of continuous publication, the Beloit Poetry Journal has worked to expand American poetic language and vision through its publication of international poetry and of work that challenges social, political, and aesthetic norms. The Spring 2012 issue of the journal is a chapbook of new poems of provocation and witness by featured readers at the 2012 Split This Rock Festival: Homero Aridjis, Sherwin Bitsui, Kathy Engel, Carlos Andrés Gómez, Douglas Kearney, Khaled Mattawa, Rachel McKibbens, Marilyn Nelson, Naomi Shihab Nye, José Padua, Minnie Bruce Pratt, Kim Roberts, and Venus Thrash. Robert Shetterly's probing portrait of Langston Hughes, from his portrait series Americans Who Tell the Truth, graces the cover (left).
Thanks to editors Lee Sharkey and John Rosenwald for this wonderful collection and their continued support of Split This Rock.
In early 2010, the United States had spent about $1 trillion on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. On March 11, 2010, participants of Split This Rock Poetry Festival gathered at Upper Senate Park near the U.S. Capitol and recited or read one line of poetry. Together, these lines became a collaborative poem about our vision for the next $1 trillion.
The Washington Post published an article that includes excerpts and a video.
On March 23, 2008, during the first Split This Rock Poetry Festival, participants marched to the White House and created a collaborative poem about peace. To create this cento, participants each read out loud one line of no more than 12 words.
The Split This Rock Issue of Beltway Poetry Quarterly celebrates political poetry "borne out of a hunger," by seventeen poets who are participating in the festival, either as organizers or readers: Winona Addison * Naomi Ayala * Sarah Browning * Grace Cavalieri * Teri Ellen Cross * Heather Davis * Joel Dias-Porter * Yael Flusberg * Brian Gilmore * E. Ethelbert Miller * Princess of Controversy * Tanya Snyder * Susan Tichey * Melissa Tuckey * Dan Vera * Rosemary Winslow * Kathi Wolfe. Co-edited by Regie Cabico and Kim Roberts.
Foreign Policy In Focus, a project of the Institute for Policy Studies, has published a special feature in conjunction with Split This Rock. FPIF's Fiesta section, which explores the intersection of art and foreign policy, featured Sarah Browning's essay on Split This Rock entitled "Hear This Hammer Ring." And, with the help of Melissa Tuckey, FPIF was able to highlight the profoundly moving poetry of Lee Sharkey, Susan Tichey, Christi Kramer, and others. Visit www.fpif.org for more Split This Rock coverage.
As a contribution to the Split This Rock Poetry Festival and to poetry as the voice of witness, resistance, and transformation, the Beloit Poetry Journal has dedicated its Spring 2008 issue to a special chapbook of work by poets around the nation who will be participating in the festival. The 56-page Split This Rock Chapbook consists of poems by eighteen of the festival's featured readers: Jimmy Santiago Baca, Robert Bly, Mark Doty, Martín Espada, Carolyn Forché, Sam Hamill, Joy Harjo, Galway Kinnell, Stephen Kuusisto, E. Ethelbert Miller, Naomi Shihab Nye, Alix Olson, Alicia Ostriker, Ishle Yi Park, Sonia Sanchez, Patricia Smith, Susan Tichy, and Pamela Uschuk. Find it on the BPJ website, www.bpj.org.

Temple of Heaven
Last updated by david at 2013-12-4
Temple of Heaven
Situated about three kilometers from the city center, the Temple of Heaven was built in 1420 when the city of Beijing was designated as the capital of the Ming Empire and a full range of palaces were therefore constructed. With an area of 273 hectares, four times the size as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven is the largest group of temple architecture in China and also the largest heaven- worshipping building in the world.
Situated about three kilometers from the city center, the Temple of Heaven was built in 1420 when the city of Beijing was designated as the capital of the Ming Empire and a full range of palaces were therefore constructed. With an area of 273 hectares, four times the size as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven is the largest group of temple architecture in China and also the largest heaven- worshipping building in the world.
Built as a place of worship, the temple is different from any other imperial structures. There are two parts in the temple zone. The outer wall of the temple zone is 6,416 meters in length while the inner wall 3,292 meters long. The architecture of the temple represents two themes: in the heaven and on the earth. The 6 meters high walls of the temple constitute a semi- circle in the north and a semi- rectangle in the south. This special layout illustrates an important belief in ancient China that the heaven is round and the earth rectangular. The northern section of the wall is high while the south is low, which means that the heaven is higher and superior to earth. All the essential architecture of the temple were built along a north – south central axis and are linked by a bridge called Danbi. The four main structures from the south to the north are the Circular Mound later (Huang Yuan Qiu Tan), the Imperial Heavenly Vault (Huang Qiong Yu), the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest (Qi Nian Dian), and the Hall of Imperial Zenith (Huang Qi Dian). Other interesting places in the park include the Hall of Abstinence, the Dressing Platform and the Nine Dragon Cypress. The Temple of Heaven has been nominated by the UNESCO as a world heritage. The significance of the temple of Heaven, apart from its historical value, lies in its superior architecture, which has had a far reaching influence in China as well as in other Asian countries as Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
The Chinese emperors also worshipped other gods worshipped at this place: the God of the Earth, God of the Water, God of Agriculture, God of the Society, God of Religion and their ancestors. Paying sacrifice to all these gods constituted a very time consuming and demanding job for the emperor.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?
Ticket Price:
Openning Time:
6: 00 am to 8: 00 pm (the Hall of Prayer for Harvest is closed at 5: 00 pm)
More Tips: 1. The Forbidden City and Summer Palace has been subject to large scale of restoration and refurbishment in preparation for the Olympic Games and this is now happening at the Temple of Heaven. Due to the ongoing reconstruction, the Hall of Prayer for Harvest, the main building of the temple area, is not open to tourist at the moment.
2. Tourists destinations around the temple: Tianqiao (Tianqiao theater), the Beijing Nature Museum, Tian'anmen Rostrum, Beijing Amusement park, Hongqiao Tourist Market (a wide variety of commodities ranging from garments, shoes to electronics and jewelries are sold in the three storied market. It is a heaven for bargainers) and the Xiannongtan (Altar of the first farmers).
3. The Temple of Heaven is often likened to the lungs of Beijing because of luxuriant greenery in the park which is nearly four times as the size of the Forbidden City. The park is a very popular place where local people, the elderly and retired in particular, gather for practice Tai Chi, Chinese chess and cards, Chinese music instruments such as Erhu and to sing. The park is also a good location to experience the local life of Beijing.

It is a very big garden, takes a long time to visit all the places. You'd better get a map and decide where to go and see in advance. There is the prayer hall where ancient emperors prayed for harvests, the round square where ancient emperors used to hold praying ceremonies, all are world heritages. What attracted most about the Temple of Heaven is that every Monday morning, many local Chinese people would gather here and do some morning exercises. Some play Taichi, some sing folk songs, and some dance waltz.

The Temple of Heaven with the surrounding park is one of the largest structures in Beijing. So it helps to know what you are looking for, unless you want to walk all day. Enter through the northern or the eastern gate, and go to the main temple (you'll see it), and then continue southward until you reach the southern gate. If you have time and energy left you can also have a look at the fasting palace in the west. If you go there before 9 in the morning the Temple of Heaven park is a good place to go if you want to see local Beijingers doing their morning exercises and tai chi.

Lizard Yixing Teapot
This Yixing pot holds 10 ounces. Perfect for a single person. Features a built-in tea strainer.

Reviewed by 3 customers

This is a great little pot. It holds 7-8 oz, which is perfect for one cup at a time. By the time you're finished with your first cup, your second steep is ready!
To answer the comment that it doesn't have a strainer: yes, it does. The strainer is built ito the spout -- it's part of the pot, not a separate mesh infuser.
Mine pours cleanly, without any drips. The handle does get a little hot, but it's not really a problem, as you're only dealing with 8 oz. of liquid.
And I would be remiss not to mention how cute it is. The little lizard is adorable.
Best Uses
States included built-in tea strainer which I never received despite repeated queries and requests.
- Decoration
- Small
Best Uses
This tea pot only holds 7 oz of tea which is not bad except the matching tea mugs recommended with it are 14 oz. other than that I like my tea pot and cannot wait until I fully season it.

Display Network Targeting Basics
<< by Sarah Bonner on April 29th, 2013
Advertising with Google AdWords' Display Network is a great way to entice potential customers who are browsing the web. The Display Network is a collection of Google partners and affiliates who allow Google to show ads on their websites. According to the Google Help Center, the "Google Display Network reaches 92% of all Internet users in the U.S," so it's definitely something worth looking into. The Display Network has useful targeting options so advertisers can capture interested users. Advertisers can target ads to specific sites, based on website content, or to specific audiences based on user interests. Ads on the display network can include text, image, rich media, or video formats.
Contextual Targeting
Contextual targeting uses a keyword list to show ads on sites that are relevant to the keywords. The goal is to show an ad that is relevant to the content on the page, and thus relevant to what the user is looking for. Advertisers can use keyword level bidding and exclusions to make certain ads are showing in desirable locations.

I was a different person before I started cloth diapering. Now, I know I have added a child since then, changed jobs (read: decided to stay at home with my kids – the most important job I've ever had) and become less of a newbie in my town… that's definitely enough to feel different, but it's not exactly what I'm talking about.
Cloth diapering has taught me things about myself that I may not have otherwise realized or been able to hone. Specifically:
I'm Committed: I've battled stink and rashes for such a long time now and I feel like I could have easily given up cloth diapering many months ago. In fact, the old me might have. But I have been determined to make this work and try to find a solution (my patience is starting to wear thin, but I'm sticking with it!).
I'm Green!: A lot of people talk about cloth diapers as a gateway to living a more earth-friendly life. It's definitely been that way for me. Before my daughter was born and I started cloth, I wouldn't have considered the life we were living particularly green. Now, we are not only not throwing away a mountain of disposable diapers, but we are composting, using cloth napkins and rags and recycling a heck of a lot more than we used to.
I'm Really into Laundry: I have never known so much about my washing machine and dryer, detergents, laundry additives or my water composition. Seriously, reading my machine manual? Who am I? I'll tell you who, I'm a person who has very clean underwear and never ruins a top anymore. Learning about my machine and washing techniques for my diapers, I've been able to make my entire laundry routine run smoother and get much better results.
I'm an Advocate: There aren't too many things I am as passionate and vocal about as I am about cloth diapers. It feels good to actively promote and support a movement like cloth diapering. I like to talk about it. A lot.
I'm a Teacher: I have to admit, this is not necessarily a new personality trait. I've always liked to mentor, to teach, to advise others, but helping other new moms make the jump into cloth diapering is so much fun…. and it's rewarding on so many levels too.
I'm a Sniffer: Maybe it's because I spend so much time with my nose in diapers making sure there isn't a trace of scent left in them when they come out of the wash, but now (or maybe I always did and didn't realize it?) I smell ev-er-y-thing. The yogurt verging on its expiration date, my son's jeans (can they be worn again before washing?), wow that garlic I chopped last night is really staying with me, hunting down a rogue diaper left too long in the diaper bag – you get the idea.
As you can see, cloth diapering has made me a better person and revealed some personality traits I didn't even know I had. What about you? What has cloth diapering taught you about yourself?

Mylapore (Mayilāppūr) is a cultural hub and neighborhood in the southern part of the city of Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, India. Mylapore is also called Thirumayilai.
Mylapore , as well as Belongs to one of the oldest residential parts of the city. It is connected to other parts of city by road and the MRTS system. It is known for its tree-lined avenues, the seventh-century Kapaleeshwarar Temple, San Thome Basilica, katcheri season and Ramakrishna Math. Mylapore is regarded as the birthplace of Tamil poet and saint Thiruvalluvar,[3] one of the icons of Tamil literature.
The word Mylapore is derived from Mayil arparikum oor, which means "Land of the peacock scream".[4] Historically, peacocks have been known to thrive in the area, which is evident from the emblem of the Portuguese-built Santhome Church.
Mylapore is located a few kilometres to the south of the British-built Chennai city. It lies between Triplicane and Teynampet in the west then across to the coast in the east. It is bounded by Royapettah to the north. Its southern frontier corresponds roughly with that of the River Adyar. It extends for around 4 km from north to south and 2 km from east to west.
The population of Mylapore is estimated to be around 150,000 to 300,000.[5] It has long been a site of cultural importance for Brahmins, which can be attributed to Mylapore's early role as a temple center. Smartha Brahmins, a subsect, were one of the first people to settle in this township.[6] More accurate statistics are not available as Mylapore is not a separate township by itself, but a part of Chennai city. The different neighborhoods within Mylapore have been distributed among the different wards of the Chennai Corporation.
The town of Mylapore predates British rule by several centuries. It was historically known as Vedapuri. As the available historical and archaeological evidence shows, it could well be the oldest part of Chennai, with written records of early settlements going back to the first century BC. It was known for its ancient port with a flourishing trade with the Roman Empire, receiving gold in exchange for its products like pepper and fine cloth. Ptolemy had recorded in the 2nd century AD that the port of Mylapore was known to the Greeks and the Romans. Mention has been made of the early settlement of Santhome by Arab travelers and merchants of the 9th and 10th centuries AD. Marco Polo visited the place in the late 13th century, and the Portuguese settled around Santhome in the early 16th century.[7]
Mylapore was occupied by the Portuguese in 1523, who established the viceroyalty of "São Tomé de Meliapor" or "Saint Thomas of Mylapore." Portuguese rule lasted until 1749, except for a brief interregnum between 1662 and 1687, when the town was occupied by the French.
After 1749, the town fell into the hands of the British East India Company, who took possession of the settlement in the name of Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah, the Nawab of Arcot.[8] In that same year, Mylapore was incorporated into the administration of the Presidency of Madras. The settlement known as "Luz" developed during this period. As early as 1760, an English writer by the name of James Taylor applied for land in the region known as "Luce." The name "Luz" might have originated from this.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the town became the commercial and intellectual hub of Madras city and home to British-educated lawyers and statesmen.[9][10][11] Some of the luminaries based in Mylapore included Sir V. Bhashyam Aiyangar, Sir S. Subramania Iyer, Sir T. Madhava Rao, Eardley Norton, Sir P. S. Sivaswami Iyer, Pennathur Subramania Iyer, V. Krishnaswamy Iyer, Sir C. P. Ramaswami Iyer, H Bhimasena Rau, C S Rama Rao Sahib, Subanthore Vasudeva Rao, CR Krishnaswamy Rao Sahib and the civil engineer C R Narayana Rao. Subanthore Vasudeva Rao's descendants still reside in his 100-year-old house near Kapaleeswarar Temple, Mylapore.
In recent times, increasing commercialization has changed the look of the area. Today, Mylapore is known for its residential colonies, temples, shopping malls, music halls and sabhas, along with old 19th century style residential buildings and houses.
Notable personalities[edit]
The Tamil sage of the Sangam Period Thiruvalluvar, author of the Tamil work Thirukkural, is said to have been born in Mylapore.[12] The temple dedicated to Thiruvalluvar is one of the major attractions of the area.
The area is associated with Ptolemy, an noted Egyptian traveller.[13] He is believed to have arrived at Mylapore to find a thriving port city. Marco Polo visited Mylapore; he left a detailed description of the land, the people along with their customs and religion.[14]
A number of Christians regard Mylapore as the original burial site of St. Thomas the Apostle, before his body was moved to Edessa.[15] The San Thome Basilica stands on this site.[16]
Mylapore contains many educational institutions, including Vivekananda College, Lady Sivaswamy Ayyar Girls Hr.Sec.School St., Sir Sivaswami Kalalaya Senior Sec School, Sir Sivaswami Kalalaya Higher Sec School, Raphael's Girls Hr.Sec.School, Rosary matriculation Higher secondary school, St Bede's Anglo Indian Higher secondary school, Santhome Higher Sec. School, Montfort Academy, MCTM Chidambaram Chettyar International IB School, Dominic Savio School, St. John's Schools, P. S. Senior Secondary School, Vidya Mandir Secondary School, P.S Higher Secondary School, with the latter being over a hundred years old. India's first digital media college — the Image College of Arts, Animation, and Technology is also based in Mylapore.
Mylapore is connected to other parts of the city by MTC buses, with connections including Chennai Central, T. Nagar, Tambaram, Broadway.
Thirumyilai Railway Station, on the MRTS network, connects Mylapore to Chennai Beach to the north and Velachery on the south.
Religious importance[edit]
Mylapore is known for its cultural and religious heritage. Mylapore is home to hundreds of temples, churches and mosques. A few of the notable sites are the Kapaleeshwarar Karpagambal temple, AdiKesava Perumal Temple, the San Thome Basilica, and Madhava Perumal temple.
Kapaleeswarar temple[edit]
The temple was built by Pallava kings in the 7th century.[6] The main deity of the temple is Lord Shiva. The temple exhibits exquisite architecture.
San Thome Basilica[edit]
San Thome Basilica, built over the tomb of Thomas the Apostle, is a Roman Catholic (Latin Rite) minor basilica in Santhome, in the city of Chennai (Madras), India. It was built in the 16th century by Portuguese explorers, and rebuilt again with the status of a cathedral by the British in 1893 which still stands. San Thome Basilica is the principal church of the Madras-Mylapore Catholic Archdiocese. In 1956, Pope Pius XII raised the church to the status of a Minor Basilica, and on February 11, 2006, it was declared a national shrine by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India. The San Thome Basilica is a pilgrimage center for Christians in India. The church also has an attached museum.[17]
Ramakrishna Math[edit]
This section requires expansion. (August 2012) |
Sri Ramakrishna Mutt, is the oldest center of the Ramakrishna Order in the South India. Sri Ramakrishna is the main deity of the temple. Architecture of the temple is a blend of Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist, Rajput, and Christian styles.
AdiKesava Perumal Temple[edit]
Mylapore is known for the AdiKesava Perumal Temple constructed in honor of Keshava or Lord Vishnu, a principal God in the Hindu pantheon and the "Savior" in the Hindu trinity. The temple has an idol of Lord Vishnu accompanied by his celestial consort Goddess Lakshmi.
Sri Vedantha Desikar Devasthanam/Sri Srinivasar Koil[edit]
Mylapore has the Srinivasar temple near Chitra Kulam in Mylapore, which is administered by the Vedantha Desikar Devasthanam (SVDD)]. It is located beside the Adi Kesava Perumal Temple, which has an imposing gopuram that can be seen from quite a distance.
The Srinivasa temple has a history of over 350 years.[18] A vigraha of Sri Vedanta Desika was brought from the adjacent Kesavaperumal temple and installed here. Since elders felt that the Acharya should not preside alone, a vigraha of Lakshmi Hayagriva modelled on the idol of the Mysore Parakala mutt was brought and installed. The Parakala mutt is also located in Mylapore (opposite road to Mylai railway station). The shrine of the great teacher Vedantha Desika is the one that faces north and it is the first shrine one sees in the temple. Sri Vedantha Desika lived over 830 years ago in South India. He wrote erudite commentaries on Ramanuja's Sribhashyam, Gita Bhashyam and was a great exponent of Visishtadvaita.
Hayagriva was the "upasana daivam" of Vedantha Desika and therefore worshiping him here is considered doubly beneficial. He is said to have performed penance in Sivanasamudram on the banks of the Cauvery river for 10 years. He lived on this earth for 120 years, which is the prescribed lifespan of a human being according to ancient texts. He left behind five noted disciples (Jeers). Apart from the sanctum dedicated to Alameluthayar, there are shrines to Lord Rama, Lord Narasimha and the Azhwars.[19]
Throughout the year, festivals[20] are celebrated in the temple. Srinivasa Perumal Brahmothsavam, Desikar Uthsavam, Pavithra Uthsavam, Sri Rama Navami are the more prominent ones.

Trying to pinpoint one central issue that pervades the entire 2012 election is difficult to say the least. That is, unless you remember your lessons from kindergarten and then take a look at Washington's dysfunction. Remember when your only goal for the week was to learn how to cooperate with others? Remember when sharing meant caring? The moral problems we face as a nation are not homosexuals marrying to thumb their nose at your institutions, senior citizens smoking marijuana with their grandchildren and "out-of-control" women demanding abortions. The moral problem we face as a nation is our incredible lack of community or a sense of duty. And all of this partisanship does not make it any better. Remember, our representatives are supposed to represent the will of the people, not the party. Maybe that has something to do with the inherit individualist nature of the American spirit, or maybe it has something to do with the laziness induced by instant gratification in the form of celebrity tweets, trendy memes and websites focused entirely on pictures of cats trying to eat cheeseburgers.If it doesn't benefit me right here and right now, then why should I even bother? How do I envision the use of the money they pull out of my paycheck when there's no live webcam feed?The problem with America is our immaturity when it comes to helping each other out. Yes, I understand the one rule that governs the state of nature is survival of the fittest, but that is why we have government.One of my friends posted an excerpt from a newspaper mocking the hilarious hypocrisy of the Department of Agriculture handing out more free meals and food stamps than ever before. Yet at the same time, the Department of Interior warns visitors of our national parks to not feed the animals because they "will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves." The fundamental flaw of this argument is that the people who benefit from food stamps are not animals. This is fairly simple in my eyes.Just using rough numbers here, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's (SNAP) budget for fiscal year 2011 was $75.6 billion. Now, divide that by the roughly 53 percent of Americans who actually pay taxes (~185 million), and you get a per-person liability of about $412 per year.Now, for your average anti-food stamp, small-government kind of person, generally well-off, $412 is probably less than a week's worth of wages. Hell, if you're a lawyer, you probably make that in an afternoon. But for the average minimum wage worker who benefits from this program, it takes them more than 50 hours of washing dishes or flipping burgers to make the same amount of money.Now thinking about the diminishing marginal utility of each additional dollar owned, it should be more than obvious that those who benefit from the program value that money at least a little more.I understand it's your money and you want it now, but how about showing a little compassion for the people who have to tell their kids they won't be eating dinner tonight because some D.I.N.K.s want to buy Kobe beef (not realizing they can't even buy it in America).I'm not trying to say if you disagree with food stamps you're a bad person. I'm saying if you can't pay forward $412 in one year to help about four struggling American families buy groceries ($133.14 is the average payout per month) , you should probably take a good look at yourself in the mirror.I'm not sure if people realize this, but everyone in America pays taxes in some form or another. Yes, some people pay more and some people seemingly pay none, but in the end we all pay what we can. The economy is flapping up and down erratically like a fish out of water, and millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet. Indeed, you don't have to be a part of the bottom 99 percent to feel it. This is a problem we all face.And the first step to solving this problem is going back to kindergarten, learning how to be decent doggone human beings and beginning to work together again. This is wholly plausible, as long as we stop cutting public education budgets across America.— email@example.com

There's another unit testing framework out there written for C. I'm surprised more people aren't using it: check. http://check.sourceforge.net |
Showing messages 1 through 3 of 3.

Oh, yeah. No Perl necessary, and it ties in nicely with autoconf/automake. -

There's no Perl necessary when using libtap either. And it's dead simple to use it from (auto)make.
2006-01-22 16:12:02 skugg [View]
Maybe because the tutorial gives it a very bad first impression? It seems there's a lot of overhead required for test writing using check. At least that's the impression I got from its tutorial (http://check.sourceforge.net/doc/x108.html) when I checked it out some time ago.

lots of poor finishing, not only from Zlatan...though, like everyone else, I'm glad to see he and Sweden are friends again! BTW, am i the only one who thinks keepers look silly in sweat pants?
wow what happened to sweden no. 11? he fell like that, i hope he is okay. glad to see zlatan back in the team.. zlatan showed great vision and flair.. but his finishing let him down..
I hope Zlatan is involved in everything unfortunately everything he was involved in didn't happen .. the finishing by Sweden was horrible the lead up play, brilliant!
Zlatan involved in just about everything for Sweden! Nice from Wernbloom, pushing Zlatan out of the way to score his second goal!

Thymomas are tumors of epithelial cell origin arising from the thymus gland (figure 1). The tumor exhibits no preference for race or sex and shows no familial predilection. The incidence of thymoma increases with advancing age, with a mean age of 40 to 50 years at discovery. Thymomas rarely occur in children.1,2 Approximately 40% of patients present with one of a variety of associated parathymic syndromes at some point in the course of their illness, most commonly myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia, or hypogammaglobulinemia.2,3
While the presentation of one of these clinical syndromes should prompt the search for a thymoma, approximately 50% are discovered incidentally in asymptomatic individuals. Another 25% to 30% of thymomas are identified in patients with complaints due to tumor compressing or infiltrating adjacent structures (e.g., the great vessels, phrenic or recurrent laryngeal nerve, trachea, or esophagus).4,5
The role of computed tomography in detecting thymomas and determining their extent is well established, as this information strongly correlates with prognosis.3,5 However, the radiographic presentation of these tumors may be quite variable; thus, the objective of this pictorial essay is to demonstrate the spectrum of CT findings associated with thymomas.
On noncontrast CT scans, thymomas usually appear as soft-tissue density masses equal in attenuation to muscle (40 HU to 60 HU) (figures 2 and 3). Following contrast injection, these tumors may enhance with either a homogeneous or heterogeneous appearance
(figures 4 and 5). Areas of cystic degeneration (figures 6A to 6C) may be present in up to 40% of thymomas, and these areas of cystic degeneration often are associated with calcifications.2 Calcifications often are focal, but in some instances, calcifications may be found diffusely throughout the tumor (figures 7, 8A, and 8B).
Thymomas may arise centrally in the anterior mediastinum but are more commonly eccentric in location (figures 9 and 10). They may be well-defined, suggesting the presence of a fibrous capsule (figures 11A to 11C), or they may have ill-defined margins suggesting tumor extension beyond the gland (figures 12A to 12C). Extracapsular extension of the thymoma may present as loss of fat planes between the mass and contiguous structures; however, this sign is not an entirely reliable indicator of invasion because the fibrous capsule itself may compress and obliterate fat planes in the absence of actual invasion.
Application of the descriptive terms "benign" and "malignant" to thymomas is not entirely straightforward because the histologic, gross, and radiologic features are not always in agreement. Probably a better set of terms is thymoma, malignant (invasive) thymoma, and thymic carcinoma. The first is an encapsulated tumor (stage I) that rarely recurs after surgical resection.
Although they are histologically identical to encapsulated thymomas, malignant thymomas (stages II to IV) grow outside the tumor capsule, invading surrounding organs, and carry a worse prognosis than their noninvasive counterparts in direct relation to the extent of tumor invasion and feasibility of radical excision. On the other hand, thymic carcinomas are fully malignant epithelial neoplasms in which the epithelial component is markedly atypical. Of the three classifications, thymic carcinoma carries the worst prognosis.5-7
Tumor extension
Thymomas may spread by direct extension or by dissemination to the intra- or extrathoracic organs. Specific modes of tumor extension may occur as follows.
Mediastinum-Mediastinal fat and lymph nodes are common sites of tumor involvement, due to their proximity to the thymus. Tracheal and esophageal compression or obstruction may occur by way of direct extension or metastasis. Dyspnea, wheezing, cough, hoarseness, dysphagia, or chest pain may be indicators of neoplastic invasion. Additionally, the function of nerve bundles within the mediastinum may be compromised, potentially resulting in similar clinical presentations (figures 13A and 13B).
Vascular system-Involvement of nearby cardiovascular structures (e.g., the innominate vein, superior vena cava, aorta, right atrium, and pericardium) usually is manifested by a loss of an interface, pressure effect and deformity, or invasion of the involved structure.6 Direct invasion, intraluminal thrombosis, or compression of adjacent great vessels can result in impedance of flow (figures 14, 15A, and 15B). The CT appearance of impending occlusion may precede clinical symptoms, thus allowing intervention prior to untoward clinical sequela.
Lung parenchyma and pleura-The lung may become involved with hematogenous metastases (figures 16A and 16B). Pleural seeding in invasive thymoma is common, with a frequency as high as 33% in one series.7 The size, number, and location of these implants are variable, and they may form in the costal, diaphragmatic, or mediastinal pleura, among other locations. The presence of a pleural mass may be the initial finding in the case of malignant thymoma, prompting the search for a primary neoplasm (figures 17 and 18).
Extrathoracic extension-Transdiaphragmatic tumor extension may involve liver, kidney, bone, lymph nodes, or central nervous system. Serving as the boundary between the thorax and abdomen, the diaphragm also may be seeded with spreading metastasis (figure 19) or, more commonly, transdiaphragmatic extension may occur through anatomical foramina in and around the diaphragm.8 AR

Texas State University-San Marcos will go live with a new energy management program this fall. The move is designed to improve reporting, benchmarking, and measurement while also speeding data entry and auditing.
Texas State adopted EnergyCAP, an energy management suite that provides management capabilities designed specifically for large organizations, including benchmarking, meter tracking, bill audits, forecasts, automated report distribution, contract administration, dashboards, project tracking, compliance reporting, and electronic billing, among other features. It's in use by 100 colleges and universities, according to the company, including two statewide systems: the State University of New York and the University of California.
The implementation at Texas State will cover 60 buildings and about 500 meters.
"After extensive research, we concluded the total energy management software package in EnergyCAP would meet our needs and goals," said Brittany McCullar, utilities analyst in the Facilities Department's Utilities Operations at Texas State. "It will bring immediate benefits for automating our data entry and audit process with sophisticated benchmarking, reporting, and project measurement and verification tools. We are very excited to add another tool to provide sustainable utility management improvement for our University."
EnergyCAP reported that the acquisition piggybacked on another acquisition within the Texas State University system, so the "entire process from research to acquisition took less than three months."
According to Texas State, the new program will go live in September, with project completion expected in October.
Texas State University-San Marcos serves about 34,000 undergraduate and graduate students on a 457-acre main campus with 5,038 additional acres used for agriculture, recreation, and instruction.

- Superior Court Judge James Kleinberg has issued a final ruling ordering Sherwin-Williams (SHW), NL Industries (NL) and ConAgra Grocery Products (CAG) to pay $1.15B to replace or contain lead paint in millions of homes in California.
- The verdict is $50M above Kleinberg's tentative ruling, which he made in December. ConAgra said at the time that it planned to appeal.
- The case was brought by 10 city and county governments in California, whose argument was that the lead is harmful to children. The substance has been banned in residential paint since 1978.

Tuesday, Jan 76:38 AM
- Despite lagging the S&P 500, food stocks had a strong year in 2013. We believe investors should remain selective in their allocation of capital by placing a greater emphasis on stock picking.
- Overall, in terms of themes for our packaged food/beverage coverage universe in 2014, we expect sluggish but gradually improving food volume trends, increased promotional intensity (funded by easing commodity costs and retailers fighting for traffic share) and a relatively active M&A environment.
- Accordingly, we prefer companies with solid organic growth prospects [Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR); Amira Nature Foods (ANFI); J & J Snack Foods Corp. (JJSF)], exposure to declining commodity costs [GMCR; Hormel Foods (HRL); The J.M. Smucker Company (SJM); Flowers Foods, Inc. (FLO)], exposure to company specific margin enhancing opportunities [FLO; GMCR, ConAgra Foods (CAG)] and ability to benefit from accretive M&A (SJM, JJSF and CAG).
- On the non-branded part of our coverage universe, Ingredion (INGR) is our top pick followed by Tyson Foods (TSN) and Dean Foods (DF).

- Frozen food sellers plan to increase the marketing of their produce products this year as they try to drive home with consumers that they are a time-saving alternative to buying fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Myth-busting: Despite the stigma of buying frozen, in some cases more nutrients are locked into frozen veggies and fruits than fresh produce which has sat on trucks or in stores for days or weeks.
- The popularity of smoothies and home juicing has pushed up sales of frozen fruit over the last year.

- ConAgra (CAG -1.4%) fires back on the proposed decision from the Supreme Court of California on the issue of lead paint contamination with an immediate notice that it will appeal the $1.1B damages award.
- The company hasn't made much of its argument that it isn't in the paint business. ConAgra's liability dates back to its ties to paint manufacturer W.P. Fuller & Co. through its purchase of Beatrice Company.
- Shares are lower after the initial award came in higher than anticipated.

- Wheat prices could fall as world reserves are forecast to exceed previous expectations.
- Global inventories before the start of the 2014 harvests in the Northern Hemisphere will be 2.4% higher than a year ago.
- Wheat futures for delivery next spring touched their lowest level since June 2012 earlier today.
- Related stocks: General Mills (GIS), PepsiCo (PEP), Campbell Soup (CPB), Post Holdings (POST), ConAgra (CAG), Ralcorp (RAH), Flower Foods (FLO), and J.M. Smucker (SJM) could see a minor impact from sustained lower wheat prices. The pricing of the commodity also spills over to affect the costs for companies farther removed from the food industry - including Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) and Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD).
