text: Barbez is a whirlwind of Old World energy, a picture postcard suffused with smoky moods and late-night cabaret. Like Gogol Bordello getting a makeover from the Dresden Dolls, Barbez mixes Eastern European folk styles from gypsy to klezmer with a Weimar/Kurt Weill fascination, and flavors the sound with a theremin virtuoso and a chugging, rock-driven rhythmic undercurrent. The theremin is no mere gimmick, but a vital aspect of the sound, offering a haunting, insistent wail to the swooning ebb and flow of the arrangements, which approach free jazz skronk for sheer vibrancy. Russian lead singer Ksenia Vidyaykina's deep, accented vocals -- in both English and her native tongue -- contribute to the band's exotic, expressive nature. They have an operatic quality that, while meshing well with the music's dramatic sweep, may not appeal to everyone. Indeed, the band's wintry Left Bank idiosyncrasy at times overwhelms the band's musical qualities, which includes some great instrumental churn.

JURIST Guest Columnist Cory Howard, Wake Forest School of Law Class of 2014, argues that the recent suit filed by Lululemon concerning Calvin Klein's alleged infringement of design patents represents a potential turning point for the industry...
Design patents are federally registered patents and the protection of items registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is guaranteed by 35 USC § 171-173. This collection of statutes gives "whoever invents any new, original and ornamental design for an article of manufacture" patentable rights to the design of the item. Typically, to file for and gain the protection of a design patent, the manufacturer must prove five elements:
What is unique about Lululemon's claims is that the lawsuit was initiated not over the name or logo on the yoga-pants but the design of the waistband. Therefore, to prove their allegations, Lululemon must demonstrate that Calvin Klein's designs appear substantially similar to the average observer, in light of their knowledge of previous designs. Although Lululemon has patents and alleges infringement on multiple design aspects of their skin-tight yoga pants, the strongest claim that it makes is that the waistband of Calvin Klein's yoga pants is substantially similar to their own overlapping waistband. A side-by-side comparison of the items does show a strikingly similar waistband design but legal experts are unable to come to a general consensus as to whether Lululemon will win. Instead, industry leaders and intellectual property attorneys are focused on the case for the potential implications a successful suit, or even a favorable settlement, could mean for the fashion industry.
Traditionally, shapes and colors of apparel have not been patentable material and, in fact, have been broadly copied and modified by other designers in what many designers believe is part of the industry practice. It is this type of attitude towards intellectual property that makes Lululemon's suits against Calvin Klein a potential turning point for the industry. In addition to an industry tradition of copying designs, there are two significant obstacles to patenting apparel that has come to define the industry's unique approach to intellectual property:
Second, many pieces of apparel are simply not original enough to satisfy the novelty requirement. For an item to be novel, 35 USC § 102 requires that the apparel pass the average observer test, which means that the appearance of the design in the eyes of an observer must be different from the appearance of any other single prior design. While novelty may not be an issue in fields where designs are protected from corporate espionage or that have strong traditions of intellectual property rights, the fashion industry derives its success and innovation from the free flow of ideas from designer to designer without the fear of legal reprisal. As a result of design limitations and widespread borrowing, it has been hard for companies to imagine a new piece of apparel "that has not yet become a part of the design vernacular."
This case is especially important for an industry that is plagued by copycats and possesses few legal mechanisms to protect apparel design. A successful suit by Lululemon will provide "valuable ammunition for for an industry to wield against copycats" and allow Lululemon to secure its position as a designer of high-end yoga apparel. While the concept of intellectual property has often been loosely interpreted by the fashion industry, a successful suit could lead to an increased interest from designers to pursue patent and copyright protections for their designs. However, a widespread movement toward copyright protection for fashion merchandise could radically change the industry and stall innovation, which is similar to what has happened to Silicon Valley during the most recent rounds of patent litigation.
Although there are doubts within the industry that this legal battle will significantly alter the way in which fashion rights are protected, it may instead provide the needed push to enact legislative protections for the industry. Recent efforts in the House of Representatives to pass statutory protections for fashion designers have hit major stumbling blocks and have seen important pieces of legislation, such as the Fashion Design Prohibition Piracy Act [PDF] (FDPPA), fail. However, if the fashion design industry sees that design patent suits can be successfully initiated to protect the design of apparel or other traditionally non-patented materials, industry leaders could push for the reconsideration of legislation, such as the FDPPA, which would make bringing suit against other designers easier.
Lululemon's aggressive protection of its Astro Pant defies industry traditions and threatens to radically change the industry's lax attitude towards intellectual property. In order to do so, Lululemon must show that Calvin Klein's waistband is substantially similar to the yoga pants that have generated a tremendous amount of revenue for the company and have made Lululemon a top brand for yoga and other athletic wear. While this may be a difficult task to do, and many legal experts in the industry are split as to whether the designs are similar enough to warrant a finding of infringement, companies throughout the fashion design business are on notice that design borrowing, once thought to be a driving force of innovation in the industry, may become a legal liability.
Cory Howard is a staff member of the Wake Forest Journal of Business and Intellectual Property Law.

Lafayette, Louisiana (November 25, 2011) – In time for holiday shopping, FuzziBunz® cloth diapers today announces a permanent price drop of its line of Perfect Size cloth diapers. FuzziBunz® Perfect Size cloth diapers come in sizes x-small through large and are sized to fit baby as he grows.
Tereson Dupuy, the founder and CEO of FuzziBunz®, says the new pricing enables FuzziBunz to offer cloth diapering products that fit various budgets and makes the Perfect Size diaper one of the most affordable pocket style cloth diapers on the market today.
"We hope our new every day affordable pricing of cloth diapers gives parents, who want to cloth diaper their babies full-time, the ability to do so from the very start," says Dupuy who is also known as the Mother of the Modern Cloth Diaper. "The start-up cost can be a hesitation for the family that wants to cloth diaper; but with the new price drop of the FuzziBunz® Perfect Size cloth diapers, we now offer one of the most reasonably priced pocket-style cloth diapers on the market today, bringing cloth diapering to the homes of more families, even if they are on a tight budget."
Dupuy adds that the FuzziBunz® Perfect Size cloth diaper also comes with a microterry insert at no additional cost.
"Other pocket-style cloth diapers nickel and dime their customers into paying for the cloth diaper and the insert separately, giving the appearance of a lower price point. But with FuzziBunz®, customers get the entire package – a diaper and insert – for the same low price. We care about our customers and want to make cloth diapering as easy, affordable and transparent as possible," she says.
The new FuzziBunz® Perfect Size pricing is as follows:
XS: Was $15.95 / Now $13.95
Small: Was $17.95 / Now $14.95
Medium: Was $17.95 / Now $15.95
Large: Was $17.95 / Now $16.95
As the original pocket-style modern cloth diaper on the market, FuzziBunz® forever changed the cloth diapering world in 2000. It was the first cloth diaper to make cloth diapering easy to do at home and fun too.
Today, FuzziBunz® cloth diapers are available in One-Size and Perfect Size options. The new One Size Elite cloth diaper, which retails for $19.95, is the newest addition to the FuzziBunz family and is one of the most trimmest-fitting-yet-adjustable cloth diapers available today. The patented FuzziBunz® design is not only stylish but also prevents diaper rash by keeping baby's skin dry and healthy.
To find an authorized FuzziBunz® retailer near you, please visit the "Where to Buy FuzziBunz®" page on FuzziBunz.com.
About FuzziBunz®
The patented FuzziBunz® cloth diapers are a modern, convenient and sustainable diapering solution for today's busy parents. The reusable pocket cloth diapers ensure no leaks, no rash and no waste. FuzziBunz® diapers include three layers: 1) a waterproof outer barrier to keep wetness contained, 2) a soft microfleece inner layer that touches a baby's skin and pulls away moisture, and 3) a unique, pocket-style opening that enables a parent to customize the absorbency using super absorbent micro-terrycloth pads. Stay-at-home-mom, Tereson Dupuy, invented FuzziBunz® in January 1999 in response to her infant son's chronic diaper rash and her overall dissatisfaction with all available diapers. Tereson stitched the first FuzziBunz® in her home and a short time later, the modern cloth diapering movement was born. Today, FuzziBunz comes in Perfect Size and One-Size cloth diaper options. For more information about FuzziBunz® cloth diapers and accessories and to find a list of retailers, please visit www.FuzziBunz.com.

The Bedtime Challenge
By Sonya Fehér, Mamatrue.com
Bedtime is one of the most challenging times of day for me as a parent. I am tired from having taking care of a little person all day, ready to cuddle with my husband on the couch and watch a show, or check Facebook, or have any kind of leisure or work time that's my own.
My son was two before we had a solid bedtime routine. We would read a pile of stories, then he'd crawl out of bed for more. He would nurse, then want to play or read and then nurse again. It didn't bother me much at first because he was napping, and I got breaks during the day. Also, I listened to mamas all around me talk about their kids waking up at 6:00 a.m. and since my son didn't go to sleep until 10:30 p.m., he slept until 9:00 or so in the morning. Much better for me since I'm a night owl.
Then we night-weaned and he started waking earlier. The long uninterrupted blocks of sleep meant he was more rested, too. He woke anywhere from 6:00 to 8:00 a.m. When the time changed, my son rose with the sun. I've never been so aware of dawn. I bought new curtains at IKEA and sewed black-out material into them. Still the early mornings. I couldn't start my day at 6:30 a.m. and still be present, attached, and nice by 10:30 p.m. I needed a break.
Even though Cavanaugh was exhausted, bedtime took a couple of hours every night. My husband and I thought we were providing a routine because we'd go upstairs an hour before we intended for Cavanaugh to be asleep so he could have quiet winding down time. We'd change him into a nighttime diaper and pajamas, read stories, and then nurse. But our routine didn't have specific limits and Cavanaugh had no idea when it was supposed to end. It finally occurred to me that Cavanaugh loved "bed" time because he was getting undivided attention from both me and my husband. He wasn't looking at a clock and counting the hours until morning. He was lying in between us as we cuddled him and read him story after story. So we changed our routine.
We do the playing downstairs now so that just going up to the bedroom signals that it's time for pajamas, tooth brushing, three stories, and sleep. Before the first book, his dad or I say, "Three more books and then what?" If Cavanaugh says something other than "milk" or "sleep," we'll remind him where we are in the routine. And most of the time, this works amazingly well. Knowing what the parameters are means that Cavanaugh can relax and enjoy the time with us. If he wants me to read the last book, he knows when there's only one more.
But late afternoon and evening need to occur on a timetable that allows the nighttime routine to flow smoothly. We need to eat dinner between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m. We need to be upstairs by 6:45 p.m. This kind of predictability and scheduling didn't exist in my pre-parent life. I never wore a watch. I ate cereal for dinner and went to sleep at 2:00 a.m. Some nights, I made four-course meals and was asleep by 11:00 p.m. I could do what the day called for. Those times are no more. Sure, we can make an occasional exception to the routine, but two or three nights in a row of odd circumstances mean my boy wants a little wiggle room himself. If we're not following the schedule, why should he?
As he's playing around, pretending to go to sleep and trying to negotiate more time with me, I'm looking at the clock thinking that for every minute he stays up later, we are in some convoluted formula that means he wakes up that much earlier the next morning. The voices in my head say it's my fault because we weren't home on time or I didn't remember to start making dinner before 5:30 p.m. or…. None of this is conducive to responding to him sensitively.
Or, say, we've followed the routine to the letter but he isn't going to sleep. I think back to our day full of play dates, errands, and a lot of time together though he hasn't had much mama focus on just him. Or his dad's working that night. Bedtime has a way of dragging out on the days when Cavanaugh most needs me and I most need a break.
On the nights when we've gone through the whole routine but Cavanaugh is still rolling around and bargaining for another story, index finger in the air, "Just one more," I usually don't want to read one more, or the one he will ask for after that. I manage to be sympathetic to his need for attention up to the point that my impatience wins out over my parenting philosophy and I end up snapping, "Cavanaugh, it's sleeping time." Then I give him the five-minute transition notice in an angry tone, "I will stay with you for five more minutes and then I need to go downstairs. What do you need from me to help you go to sleep?" Some nights it's cuddle, a back rub, one more story, icy cold water. But some nights it is "five more minutes" until it's an hour or more past his bedtime.
This week, though, I've been rereading Playful Parenting by Lawrence Cohen. So last night when Cavanaugh was rolling around, being silly, asking for more of me than I had, I tried something — to playfully set the boundary. I told him, in a funny tone, that it was time to go to bed and wagged my index finger at him. My anger gave in to silliness, he was laughting, and the impending power struggle dissipated. After a couple more minutes of playing, he turned over to go to sleep. I got to tell him the limit was firm without having to use firm tones. And he got exactly what he needed, a reconnection as I looked into his eyes and acted a clown.

Wanna test your germ smarts to see how prepared you are for the battle against colds and flus sweeping through your home, school, or office? I washed my hands immediately after reading this! LOL. - Shellie Hart
1. How many germy surfaces (doorknobs, light switches, shopping-cart handles, counters, toys, keyboards, ATMs, etc) can you touch in one minute?
An often said statistic is 300 in half an hour or ten in one minute. In one minute, you could pick up germs left by others that can get you sick from ten surfaces.
2. How often do we wash our hands?
One survey says six times a day. That may be optimistic. Since we are awake approx sixteen hours a day that translates into once every 2.5 hours. Your palms have potentially touched 1500 potentially germy surfaces between washings.
3. How long do germs live on hands?
Depending on the germ, anywhere from two to twenty-four hours.
4. True or false: getting germs on your hands is how you get sick.
Not unless you have open sores on your hands. Touching your face with your hands and transferring germs to your mouth, nose, eyes, and ears is how germs get inside us and make us sick
5. How many times do we touch our face?
Sixteen times in an hour or once every three minutes.
6. How many times can you cough or sneeze in one hour?
No clear statistics on this, but some suggest up to twenty times an hour or once every three minutes when you are sick. Covering coughs or sneezes with the palm of your hand can infect ten surfaces you touch for every minute until you wash your hands twenty seconds with soap and warm water.
7. How many surfaces does an elbow touch in one minute?
Less than five an hour. Elbows are not used to open doors, pick up toys, flick on light switches, turn on faucets, work on keyboards and joysticks, etc. You really have to work at it to touch things with your elbow.
If we touch ten potentially germy surfaces in a minute, touch our face once every three minutes, and only wash our hands once every 2.5 hours, we expose ourselves to 1500 surfaces and have touched our face fifty times between washings. Wow, so many opportunities for the germs!
Since washing more often is not always practical and washing hands before we touch our face (approximately every three minutes) is almost impossible, reducing how much you touch your face is the best defense.

For the best baking results:
The Doughmakers heavy aluminum 10x15 Jelly Roll Pan produces the best baking results. It is so much like the pans that worked so well for my mother and grandmother for many years and I'd love to get those back. Instead, I've stocked up on the Doughmakers pans.
Pans with the dark-nonstick coating cause over browning on the bottoms of cookies, bars and breads while the pans with air in-between the metal layers require a longer bake time for nice browing on tops of cookies but then the cookies dry out and become hard and tough.
The Doughmakers pans produce perfect baked products every time - you would think that I owned shares in the Doughmakers stock (I don't) but as a professional Home Economist, I do a lot of baking and cooking and I know a good pan when I see one!
Andi BidwellI recommend this product. -
I had never owned any of Doughmakers products and just decided to try a few, and this jelly roll pan was one of them. I absolutely LOVE it. It really does bake more evenly than other baking pans that I have used. It cleans up really well and because of that cool peppled design I haven't had a problem with anything sticking to it. If I am going to bake something that I feel might stick I just put a few drops of oil on the pan and rub it around with a paper towel. I'm not going to use any non-stick spray on it because I'm afraid it will leave that awful residue that you can't get off. I highly recommend this pan.

Doughmakers are the best baking pans I've seen in a long time. Not only do the cakes and cookies bake well, the pans are easy to clean. I'd say - buy them in every size!

OkPros: Good for office case. Most others are full of buzzing twirling LED light shows with clear windows. Who likes that stuff anyway? Cons: Like this whole line of Antec cases the 5.25" blanks are not held in well enough. How hard is it to fix? The front USB 3.0 harness to motherboard is practically nonexistent and do not provide any adapters. I'm going to have to manually make jumpers after finding the pinouts. What a pain! These are real problems for a premium case. I still continue to buy these, but the USB problem needs to be resolved asap -like send an adapter or do not mold those harnesses on. Other Thoughts: Other reviewer claimed HD sleds smash cables. Try mounting the hard drive the other way, buddy. Did you find this review helpful? |
Antec, please read other thoughtsPros: Lots of places to hide cables. Big plus. Cons: Horizontal brace is riveted in place. Swapping the power supply with a larger/taller CPU cooler inplace will most likely require removing the motherboard. Nor you can install the power supply last if there is a tall CPU cooler. The brace ought to be removable in the event the power supply fails or you need to upgrade. Other Thoughts: If you use more than one of the 5.25 bays you will have cabling problems. Mitigated by having a modular power supply. Hiding excess cabling in the unused 5.25 bays is the way to go. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
drive mounts were hard to figure outPros: Overall great looking case Cons: The system of mounting the harddrves to the little clear rubber mounts was difficult to figure out without ANY instructions. I kept trying to mount the drive to the rails provided that are attached to the back of the cd drive covers and then slide into the HDD rails.... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good I thoughtPros: Very nice looking case. I chose this case as a Home Theater PC build for my cousin for it's clean appearance . Also the locked door keeps little fingers from pushing buttons. Cons: The right side panel (bottom of Motherboard side) does not remove. This makes routing SATA and HD power cables troublesome . Siding a drive into position puts pressure on the cables with no easy way to relieve it once you have more than one drive installed,you could easily compromise the connection of another drive. The screws to mount the drives to the sleds are proprietary so you better not loose track of your extras. Other Thoughts: This case would have gotten at lease one more egg if both side panels were removable. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good case overallPros: -Very attractive design Cons: -Hard to cable manage if you arent good at it Other Thoughts: I mounted a H60 radiator on the back of my case and it fit fine. There is only one fan in the case though, and that limits airflow bigtime. That's one egg 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
wowPros: hdd rack is nice/ quiet Cons: door must open to turn on/ door cheap made/ no places for fans / even with one fan still somewhat noisey/ case on the small side /no cable mgt./ i cut a hole in door for switch/ way to cramped inside/ bad cooling for my taste ! Other Thoughts: good for non overclocking computer use/ i have one i'm donating to charity/ all the other cases i have are much better TT/ LianLi / Aero Cool /Ikonic/Inwin/CoolerMaster . Did you find this review helpful? |
Update to BIG PROBLEMPros: I had commented before about this case perhaps being unusable because of a front panel connector that I had never seen before. Cons: No cons with the case -- the connector left me with a problem, but Antec fixed that issue very quickly. Other Thoughts: This is really a very good heavy sturdy case that goes together quickly and provides a very high quality completed product. I can say I'll buy it again, but then, I already have bought it again. This is my sixth one. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
BIG ProblemPros: This is a very good case which may prove to be totally unusable. its well built, but the front panel connectgors anre non-standard. Cons: This case has a protptype USB connector in it which matches nothing that is currently used on motherboards and there are no adaptors available to make it useful. Newegg had never heard of the problem and was unable to help. The connector is molded and cannot be disassembled. It connects two USB front panel connectors into one unit and requires that the USB connectors on the mainboard be a plug untype connection that I have n3ever seen before. I've built several computers andf always use ANTEC cases, but this cable makes the front panel USB unusable. BE AWARE 1 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great case and I'm ordering a second.Pros: Good size and quality construction. Plenty large for a mid-range computer and it runs plenty cool. Cons: Weird SSD mounting as mentioned by someone else. Other Thoughts: Lentil mentions in his review that a bottom mount PSU is a bad thing cus hot air rises. Well he's right that hot air rises at least. A bottom mount PSU is a very good thing however because all the hot air from the PSU gets exhausted out the back of the case anyways. Then on top of that the hot air from CPU and video card(s) doesn't get sucked into the PSU, it gets its air from outside the case which is typically cooler. Did you find this review helpful? |
Bad Drive Bay CoversPros: Quiet, Sturdy, Looks Good Cons: The 5 1/4 inch drive bay covers fall out when you barely touch them. Other Thoughts: I own a Sonata II and I have built 5 PCs using Sonata Proto and Elite cases at work. When I read a newegg.com review that said the Sonata Proto now had USB3 connectors on the front panel I decided to purchase one for my new build. I am VERY DISSAPOINTED at the quality of the drive bay cover fit. The rest of the case is excellent. Did you find this review helpful? |

Hasbrouck Heights officials looking at communications after storm
Hasbrouck Heights officials are discussing ways to better communicate with the public during times of emergencies after Hurricane Sandy ripped through the area.
Many parts of the borough were without electricity for eight days, including borough hall that was open and running on generators. The Internet in the building was down, which hampered communications, Borough Manager Mike Kronyak said at the Nov. 13 council meeting. Administrative personnel were communicating by using cell phones and at times those were dropping calls and were delayed receiving messages.
"We felt everyone's pain and we tried to return every phone call we could," Kronyak said.
With the borough website down, and many people without Internet or phone access, the borough did not have an effective way to reach the public. Mayor Rose Heck said there needs to be a better way to communicate with the public during a crisis.
Heck suggested that the borough look into an emergency car that would drive through the borough relaying an informative message to residents. She said it was used in Hoboken where she grew up and believes it to be effective.
Police Chief Michael Colaneri said he has never known for that way to alert people to work and said it actually causes more public panic than helping a situation. He said many people in fact call police stations because they didn't hear the full message causing the police lines to become tied up. With Sandy, some of the worst affected areas in town had streets that were not accessible by car and the announcement would have not reached them regardless, Colaneri said.
Colaneri and Kronyak are still in discussions about the storm and figuring out what the borough did right and what areas need improvement. Colaneri said he believes the best way to reach the public in an emergency is a reverse 9-1-1 call that they will start to look into.
The storm left numerous homes impacted with trees and downed wires, some on people's houses.
"The borough was like a warzone," Heck said at the council meeting. "Almost every block had a problem. It was a horrendous situation and we wanted to get help out much faster to you."
Heck said that PSE&G has decided that they will now remove trees that aren't dead that are caught in wires as a result of the storm and replace the trees with ones that won't grow as tall.

Rendon Nelson, MD Professor and Vice-Chairman of Radiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC
Faster multislice CT scanners create the opportunity to image with increased speed, more reasonable breathhold times, better image quality, and im-proved three-dimensional and multiplanar reconstructions. 1 Advances in CT technology also open the door to new approaches to the administration of iodinated contrast. One possibility is the use of higher-concentration, lower-volume contrast agents. Whether such an approach could provide equivalent enhancement to that achieved with standard-concentration contrast media is a question we recently investigated at Duke University Medical Center.
We focused primarily on hepatic imaging. Therefore, a brief review of both liver enhancement and key considerations in using the new multislice CT technology may be helpful.
Balancing Speed and Image Quality
When upgrading from a scanner that acquires 4 slices per rotation to one that acquires 8 slices per rotation, the first option is to image much faster, for example, to reduce breathhold times. With this approach, image quality remains about the same. Another option is to image a little bit faster and enhance image quality by decreasing noise and artifacts. The third option, when acquisition and breathhold times are already acceptable with the 4-slice scanner, is to leave imaging speed unchanged and, instead, attempt to achieve a data set with much higher image quality.
Radiation dose is also a consideration in selecting scanning parameters. A 4 * 1.25-mm detector configuration uses a beam collimation of 5 mm. On an 8-slice scanner, a slice width of 1.25 mm doubles the beam collimation to 10 mm, which raises concerns about the radiation dose. When advancing from a 4-slice to an 8-slice scanner, it may be preferable to keep the beam collimation approximately the same or use faster table speeds to prevent an increase in radiation dose.
Hepatic Imaging
In liver imaging, lesion detection is determined by conspicuity, 2 which in turn is determined by liver-to-lesion contrast. 3 In tracking the phases of liver enhancement, the artery starts enhancing approximately 15 seconds after contrast injection, and then enhancement drops off a little bit. The portal vein starts enhancing at about 30 seconds and peaks a few seconds after that. The liver follows suit, and at about 60 seconds the liver enhancement curve is characterized by an upslope and then a plateau of enhancement.
It is important to avoid imaging during the equilibrium phase, which takes place at approximately the 3-minute mark. During this time, lesions that can be clearly seen on the portal venous phase tend to disappear (Figure 1).
Foley et al 4 characterized the phases of liver enhancement by scanning twice in the arterial phase and once in the venous phase. They showed that, for a hypervascular tumor, the enhancement curve tends to peak during the later part of the arterial phase. At baseline, the lesions may or may not appear as hypoattenuating masses. Many are invisible, particularly if small. By about 20 seconds, contrast fills the artery only, not having reached the hepatic parenchyma. This early hepatic arterial phase is valuable for CT angiography, but it is not very helpful for detection of hypervascular lesions.
At about 30 seconds, contrast is in the parenchymal arteries and, to some degree, in the portal vein. This is what Foley calls the portal venous inflow phase and others have referred to as the late hepatic arterial phase. During this phase, a hypervascular lesion will light up. At about 70 seconds, however, hypervascular lesions can disappear. Foley called this the hepatic venous outflow phase. It is also known as the portal venous phase (Figure 2).
In summary, in hepatic imaging, enhancement during the arterial phase is predicated primarily upon the rate of injection, as well as the timing. Timing can be determined by using a fixed delay, a timing bolus, or automated triggering, which I prefer for arterial-phase imaging of the liver and for CT angiography.
During the venous phase, however, enhancement is predicated not so much on the timing or the rate of contrast delivery, but on the total dose of iodine. 5 My colleagues and I at Duke University Medical Center decided to further investigate this possibility with a randomized study.
The Duke Study: Methods
The hypothesis of the study was that a smaller dose of a more highly concentrated iodinated contrast agent could be used to obtain similar quality multislice helical CT images of the liver. To test this hypothesis, we compared two contrast media injection protocols, determining their liver and vascular enhancement characteristics both quantitatively and qualitatively.
The prospective, randomized, double- blind study enrolled 20 patients with suspected or known liver lesions who were scheduled to undergo abdominal CT. Our imaging parameters were as follows (Table 1): For the non-contrast images, hepatic arterial phase, and portal venous phase, we used a 5-mm collimation. We used a fixed scan delay for both the arterial and venous phases, an approach we debated, as this somewhat dated method does not reflect our standard practice. Ultimately, we decided that we did not want timing to be a confounding issue, since we were constructing time attenuation curves. For the arterial phase, we selected a fixed delay of 30 seconds, aiming for the later arterial phase. For the venous phase, we selected a fixed delay of 65 seconds.
The table speed for the arterial phase was a little faster than for the venous phase--22.5 mm/rotation, as compared with 15 mm/rotation--because the arterial phase is the shorter of the two. Pitch also differed: It was 6-to-1 in the arterial phase and 3-to-1 in the venous phase. (It should be noted that to reduce the radiation, we have recently changed our protocol for venous-phase studies to specify a 4 * 2.5-mm detector collimation and a 6-to-1 pitch.) In the study, we also used a 0.8-second rotation time, since not all of our scanners are capable of a 0.5-second gantry rotation.
The contrast injection protocol in one arm of the study consisted of 150 mL of Isovue 300 (iopamidol, Bracco Diagnostics, Princeton, NJ) delivered at 5 mL/sec, for a total iodine dose of 45 grams. That was compared with 100 mL of Isovue 370 delivered at 4 mL/sec for a total iodine dose of 37 grams. Therefore, the total volume of contrast is reduced by one-third, while the iodine dose is reduced by 18%.
When the iodine dose is analyzed by the number of grams delivered per second, however, the difference is not substantial. Administering 150 mL of Isovue 300 at 5 mL/sec delivers an iodine dose of 1.5 gm/sec for 30 seconds. Administering 100 mL of Isovue 370 at 4 mL/sec delivers an iodine dose of 1.48 gm/sec for 25 seconds.
We analyzed the images quantitatively, performing regions-of-interest analyses on the liver in three places, and on the aorta. We did this on every slice, and from that data we constructed time attenuation curves. The images were analyzed qualitatively as well by three abdominal radiologists who scored them from 1 to 5--5 being the best--for liver enhancement, vascular enhancement, and overall image quality.
Study Findings
In the liver, quantitative analysis of arterial-phase images demonstrated enhancement ranging from approximately 13 to 15 HU (Figure 3). En-hancement was a little greater with Isovue 370 than with Isovue 300, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0.89).
In the portal venous phase, en-hancement was approximately 50 HU after 150 mL of Isovue 300 and slightly less after 100 mL of Isovue 370, a not unexpected finding since, as noted above, total iodine dose was 18% less with Isovue 370. However, the difference, again, was not statistically significant (Figure 4). A P value of 0.12 raises the possibility of a statistical trend, but it was not demonstrated in the 20 patients we studied.
In the aorta, there was more enhancement during the arterial phase with Isovue 370, in the range of 250 to 270 HU (Figure 5), but the differences between Isovue 300 and Isovue 370 were insignificant.
This, however, was not the case during the portal venous phase. For Isovue 300, enhancement in the aorta was approximately 100 HU, while for Isovue 370, enhancement in the aorta was closer to 90 HU (Figure 6), a statistically significant difference ( P = 0.01). Again, the study design, which called for a shorter injection, less volume, and less total iodine with Isovue 370, makes this an expected result. Qualitative data, however, again showed no difference between the two agents.
We concluded, therefore, that giving 100 mL of Isovue 370 at a similar rate of iodine delivery and injection duration provided comparable liver parenchyma enhancement in both the arterial and the venous phases, when compared with 150 mL of Isovue 300.
There was a modest cost difference, however. Using the Isovue 370 protocol resulted in a 14% reduction in contrast use. That could translate into an annual savings of nearly $54,000 at our institution.
In adjusting CT scanning protocols for lower-volume, higher-concentration contrast media, it is advisable to consider the number of grams of iodine per milliliter, the rate of contrast injection, and the duration of the injection and exam. In this way, it is possible to tailor the protocol to achieve a similar rate of iodine delivery per second as would be possible using standard contrast media and, therefore, achieve a similar level of enhancement in the target organ. *

Mark Cavendish will ride for Belgian team Omega Pharma-QuickStep next season, Team Sky have announced.
The 27-year-old from the Isle of Man expressed a desire to move on 12 months into a three-year contract, believing Team Sky's stated ambitions and his own no longer matched.
Earlier this week Cavendish was preparing for a second season with Team Sky after protracted talks over an early termination broke down, but now the Manxman will get his wish to move on.
A statement on www.teamsky.com read: "Mark Cavendish is to leave Team Sky to join Belgian team Omega Pharma-QuickStep ahead of the 2013 season."

The power behind the throne
Rockstar�s game engine, RAGE, has been tweaked beyond GTA IV and this game looks set to challenge their dark and gritty city based open worlder, with some seriously amazing vistas. A starry sky at night, rushing rapids, massive canyons and more wait in the Wild West and the weather effects look mind blowing. Rain turns to snow as you ride further north, thunder rocks the heavens with sharp jagged lightning in the middle of a vicious storm and when the sun comes out the puddles of rain dry up. These systems all tie together and as the landscape is changed by weather, or by the day/night cycles, little touches help flesh out the world before you.
As we mentioned before, the game is teeming with life from bandits, to wild horses, animals and more are all out there in the various regions, all based on numerous AI routines. When the sun goes down, campfires appear across the vistas and Marston can pitch his own or go and wander by someone else�s fire. Nocturnal animals pop out at night and the whole game�s feeling becomes subtly different, it immerses you quite literally in the dark. Night time critters are on the prowl and they�ll hunt each other as well as you if they think they can get away with it.
The people react to the weather and their local environments, and with three large regions to explore plus hidden extras, there�s a lot of RDR to go around and that suits us just fine. We�re huge fans of open world games and having all of these systems in play just makes our mouths water at the prospect of spending so much time in the game world.
There�s not just RAGE of course, there�s also Euphoria and this is one of the best animation systems to have come out of the game industry for a long time. First seen in GTA IV and later Force Unleashed, even though it was in Force Unleashed before GTA IV, Euphoria by Natural Motion models animation based on skeletal animation techniques, giving the characters a life-like quality that traditional animation and rag-doll physics is largely incapable of doing. With Euphoria it�s possible to allow the character�s in-game skeleton and muscle structure to feel the nature of a fall or bullet wound, reacting to protect itself from harm and tumbling in a variety of realistic (albeit Hollywood Western tweaked) reactions. Shoot someone in the knee and they�ll hobble or fall to the floor in agony, trying to crawl away. Shoot them in the gut and you can sadistically watch them crawl off and bleed out somewhere.
Euphoria doesn�t just model the gunshots, the reactions and the physics of combat; it�s used for subtler interactions. Marston and the townsfolk in their day to day lives for instance, you�re going to encounter a lot of stairs and Euphoria can model the character�s reaction to those stairs, saving animators a lot of time and trouble. Get drunk and there�s a lot of fun to be had with Euphoria, even with GTA IV, its better implemented in RDR however and there are a lot more subtle interactions with the environment too.
Euphoria also models the horses and these are the best in-game horses that we�ve seen. Just looking at videos, we can see that a massive amount of care and attention has been paid to the creatures and this level of detail runs through the whole of the game, the wild animals with their AI and Euphoria animations act like wild animals. So with RAGE, physics, Euphoria and the various random events RDR is shaping up to be one heck of a time sink and a fantastic game.
But there�s more!
We�ve mentioned the single player up until now, but RDR is coming loaded for bear with a massive multiplayer that supports up to 16 people. The true star of this particular multiplayer is Rockstar�s take on the game lobby, gone are screens where you wait for a host to select a game mode, the entire single player open world is there for you to use as the game lobby. You can create posses of 2-8 players and go explore every nook and cranny, every interior locale and every town and bar. You can choose to interact with the townsfolk, kill bandits, hunt wild animals and basically have fun the way you want.
You can skirmish with other players or play structured modes like deathmatch, and capture the flag variants by assembling at locations designed for such play. You can ignore it all and just ride as far north as you want in a huge group, galloping across the plains and into the forested regions where the rain becomes snow. Rockstar have managed to revolutionise both multiplayer and the open world game with this simple addition to RDR. This is the feature that we are most excited about and we can�t wait to explore with our friends across the vastness.
We�ve already got plans to hunt bears with bowie knives, ride wild into a settlement and see what kind of bounty we can get, holding off waves of law enforcement in our own version of Firefight or Horde mode. We might even attack the outlaw locations in the cooperative team based challenges. With the wild animals, random emergent events and the like just waiting to drag us further in we can see a lot of hours spent just roaming the wilderness with our ever-increasing posse and teaming up with another posse to do a mass assault on the bad guys.
Key to the structured events is the unique and very Sergio Leone, Mexican Standoff start where you begin with either one big group or several teams. You must shoot the chosen target and hope to be the Last Man Standing before the others respawn and hunt you down for being a great shot or just lucky as all heck. With so much freedom of choice, specific map areas that have horses, wagons and other surprises in them like cannons, RDR�s multiplayer looks set to completely ignite our love of shooting things as a team once again.
We want to see so much more of the multiplayer free roam though, we�re quietly hoping that you could play poker with your friends and indulge in some other mini-games like horse wrangling and drinking until you fall down. Of course these are pipe dreams that can only be answered by Rockstar when the game finally comes out, it�s so close now that we can literally taste it and we�ll have a full review of RDR when the game ships on the 21st in Europe (18th for the US).

Samford has partnered with Apple, Inc.'s iTunes University, a new initiative to host and deliver multimedia educational material using the iTunes Store interface. Through this program, faculty and staff may upload audio, video and PDF files directly to the iTunes U server, where they will be available for viewing and subscribing by either class members or the general public. Samford faculty and staff may request a new iTunes U course by using the online form below; courses are not automatically created, but must be manually generated upon request.
Please note: According to the Fair Use provisions of U.S. copyright law, the use of certain copyrighted materials may be permissible in an educational setting when access to those materials is restricted to students who are enrolled in a particular class, and only during the semester or academic period during which that class is taught.

Everyone is talking about "software-defined" everything lately, so it was only a matter of time before industry buzz turned to software-defined storage. VMware and EMC really stoked the flames with a constant barrage of marketing directed in this direction. But how exactly do you software-define storage? And what does this mean?

Scaling storage is a serious challenge for the industry, but there is a great deal of thought, effort, and creativity going into it right now. Companies like Gridstore, Oxygen Cloud, and Cleversafe have come up with effective client-side solutions to enable scale-out storage to sing. If you've got an appropriate application, client, or gateway, scale-out is a real possibility!
November 19, 2013
It is amazing that something as simple-sounding as making an array get bigger can be so complex, yet scaling storage is notoriously difficult. Our storage protocols just weren't designed with scaling in mind, and they lack the flexibility needed to dynamically address multiple nodes. So my hat is off to these companies and others who have come up with clever ways to maintain compatibility while scaling out beyond the bounds of a single storage array.
November 18, 2013
Having wrapped up Storage Field Day 4 this week, it seems that the theme was scaling storage. Delegates learned about scale-out storage from CloudByte, Coho Data, Nimble Storage, Overland Storage, Avere Systems, Gridstore, Oxygen Cloud, and Cleversafe.

On Call: Can Verizon make me buy a new phone?
On Call runs every two weeks, alternating between answering reader questions and discussing hot topics in the cell phone world.
Q: I was an Alltel customer, but I'm now with Verizon Wireless following the merger. I want to add a fourth line to my family plan, but Verizon informed me that my Alltel phones were not compatible and that I'd need to replace them. Replacing all four phones would cost me about $600. What can I do? - Sarah
A: Since Alltel and Verizon both use CDMA technology, I was surprised to hear that your Alltel phones aren't compatible with Verizon's network. I checked with Verizon and got a quick response. While most Alltel customers won't have to buy new phones, there are exceptions (there always are).… Read more

► Centrosomal recruitment of PP1 creates the need for Cdc25 for mitotic commitment ► PP1 is recruited to the centrosome/SPB component Cut12 ► Activation of the NIMA kinase Fin1 by the NDR kinase Sid2 removes PP1 from Cut12 ► PP1 removal from Cut12 promotes SPB recruitment of Polo and enhances Polo activity
Activation of the Cdk1/cyclin B complex, also known as mitosis-promoting factor (MPF), drives commitment to mitosis. Interphase MPF is inhibited through phosphorylation of Cdk1 by Wee1-related kinases. Because Cdc25 phosphatases remove this phosphate, Cdc25 activity is an essential part of the switch that drives cells into mitosis. The generation of a critical "trigger" of active MPF promotes a positive feedback loop that employs Polo kinase to boost Cdc25 activity and inhibit Wee1, thereby ensuring that mitotic commitment is a bistable switch. Mutations in the spindle pole body (SPB) component Cut12 suppress otherwise lethal deficiencies in Cdc25.
Cut12 harbors a bipartite protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) docking domain. Mutation of either element alone suppressed the temperature-dependent lethality of cdc25.22, whereas simultaneous ablation of both allowed cells to divide in the complete absence of Cdc25. Late G2 phase phosphorylation between the two elements by MPF and the NIMA kinase Fin1 blocked PP1Dis2 recruitment, thereby promoting recruitment of Polo to Cut12 and the SPB and elevating global Polo kinase activity throughout the cell.
PP1 recruitment to Cut12 sets a threshold for Polo's feedback-loop activity that locks the cell in interphase until Cdc25 pushes MPF activity through this barrier to initiate mitosis. We propose that events on the SPB (and, by inference, the centrosome) integrate inputs from diverse signaling networks to generate a coherent decision to divide that is appropriate for the particular environmental context of each cell. PP1 recruitment sets one or more critical thresholds for single or multiple local events within this switch.

Professional golfer, born William Payne Stewart, born January 30,1957 in Springfield, Missouri. Stewart, who began playing golf at the tender age of four, was co-champion of the Southwest Conference during his senior year at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. After graduating in 1979 with a degree in business, Stewart played on the Asian Tour for two years before earning a spot on the PGA Tour.
He won his first title at the Miller High Life tournament at Quad Cities in 1982, his first season on the tour. After a second victory at the 1983 Walt Disney World Golf Classic, Stewart failed to win another title until 1987, finishing second six times. In memory of his father, Bill, who died of cancer in 1985, Stewart donated the entire $108,000 of his next winner's purse to a Florida hospital. Two years later, he won his first major title, the 1989 PGA Championship, after entering the final round six strokes behind the leader. In 1991, he recovered from an early-season nerve injury in his neck to take a second major title, the U.S. Open, in a playoff victory over Scott Simpson.
Invariably decked out in classic knickers and a tam-o??-shanter hat, Stewart became famous on the tour and among fans for his singular style. While his brash self-confidence and unapologetically candid views annoyed some of his fellow pro golfers and members of the media, he remained a crowd favorite. In June 1999, Stewart won his second U.S. Open after sinking a decisive fifteen-foot putt on the 18th hole??the longest putt ever to decide that championship. In October, he participated in his fifth Ryder Cup Championship, gracefully conceding the final putt of his match with Colin Montgomerie after his United States team had already assured itself the victory over Europe.
Tragically, on October 25, 1999 a private Learjet carrying the forty-two-year-old Stewart from his home in Orlando, Florida to the PGA Championship in Houston crashed in South Dakota. The plane had flown uncontrolled for several hours above the mid-western United States before crashing to the ground; none of the five passengers survived.
With eleven tour victories, including three major titles, Stewart was third on the PGA Tour's all-time money list of career earnings during the 1999 season. He was survived by his wife, Tracey Ferguson, and their two children, Chelsea and Aaron.

A gorgeous addition to any holiday display, the 50 ct. 6 in. Clear Light Sphere features 50 clear lights to produce a warm glow. Measuring 6 inches in diameter, this sphere is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
About Kurt S. Adler Inc.
The story of Kurt S. Adler Inc. begins after the close of World War II when Mr. Adler tried his hand at exporting general goods. Business grew, and European economies flourished so he turned his focus to importing. Ornaments were offered by the 1950s, and beautiful, handmade angels from East and West Germany found an enthusiastic audience in America. Adler expanded the line to glass ornaments from Czechoslovakia, hanging ceiling decorations from Germany, and miniature lights from Italy.
The next decade, Adler started importing holiday decor from the Far East. Colorful snow globes and other animated items became a collector's favorite. In the 1980s and 90s, Fabriche santas, nutcrackers and other collectibles were ushered in. Recent additions include animatronics, fiber optic trees, interactive advent calendars, and synchronized musical decorations.
