- Quality assessment of expert answers to lay questions about cystic fibrosis from various language zones in Europe: the ECORN-CF project (2012)
- Background: The European Centres of Reference Network for Cystic Fibrosis (ECORN-CF) established an Internet forum which provides the opportunity for CF patients and other interested people to ask experts questions about CF in their mother language. The objectives of this study were to: 1. develop a detailed quality assessment tool to analyze quality of expert answers, 2. evaluate the intra- and inter-rater agreement of this tool, and 3. explore changes in the quality of expert answers over the time frame of the project. Methods: The quality assessment tool was developed by an expert panel. Five experts within the ECORN-CF project used the quality assessment tool to analyze the quality of 108 expert answers published on ECORN-CF from six language zones. 25 expert answers were scored at two time points, one year apart. Quality of answers was also assessed at an early and later period of the project. Individual rater scores and group mean scores were analyzed for each expert answer. Results: A scoring system and training manual were developed analyzing two quality categories of answers: content and formal quality. For content quality, the grades based on group mean scores for all raters showed substantial agreement between two time points, however this was not the case for the grades based on individual rater scores. For formal quality the grades based on group mean scores showed only slight agreement between two time points and there was also poor agreement between time points for the individual grades. The inter-rater agreement for content quality was fair (mean kappa value 0.232+/-0.036, p<0.001) while only slight agreement was observed for the grades of the formal quality (mean kappa value 0.105+/-0.024, p<0.001). The quality of expert answers was rated high (four language zones) or satisfactory (two language zones) and did not change over time. Conclusions: The quality assessment tool described in this study was feasible and reliable when content quality was assessed by a group of raters. Within ECORN-CF, the tool will help ensure that CF patients all over Europe have equal possibility of access to high quality expert advice on their illness.
- Descending aortic calcification increases renal dysfunction and in-hospital mortality in cardiac surgery patients with intraaortic balloon pump counterpulsation placed perioperatively: a case control study (2012)
- Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery increases length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality. A significant number of patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures require perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support. Use of an IABP has been linked to an increased incidence of perioperative renal dysfunction and death. This might be due to dislodgement of atherosclerotic material in the descending thoracic aorta (DTA). Therefore, we retrospectively studied the correlation between DTA atheroma, AKI and in-hospital mortality. Methods: A total of 454 patients were retrospectively matched to one of four groups: -IABP/-DTA atheroma, +IABP/-DTA atheroma, -IABP/+DTA atheroma, +IABP/+DTA atheroma. Patients were then matched according to presence/absence of DTA atheroma, presence/absence of IABP, performed surgical procedure, age, gender and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). DTA atheroma was assessed through standard transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) imaging studies of the descending thoracic aorta. Results: Basic patient characteristics, except for age and gender, did not differ between groups. Perioperative AKI in patients with -DTA atheroma/+IABP was 5.1% versus 1.7% in patients with -DTA atheroma/-IABP. In patients with +DTA atheroma/+IABP the incidence of AKI was 12.6% versus 5.1% in patients with +DTA atheroma/-IABP. In-hospital mortality in patients with +DTA atheroma/-IABP was 3.4% versus 8.4% with +DTA atheroma/+IABP. In patients with +DTA atheroma/+IABP in hospital mortality was 20.2% versus 6.4% with +DTA atheroma/-IABP. Multivariate logistic regression identified DTA atheroma > 1 mm (P = *0.002, odds ratio (OR) = 4.13, confidence interval (CI) = 1.66 to 10.30), as well as IABP support (P = *0.015, OR = 3.04, CI = 1.24 to 7.45) as independent predictors of perioperative AKI and increased in-hospital mortality. DTA atheroma in conjunction with IABP significantly increased the risk of developing acute kidney injury (P = 0.0016) and in-hospital mortality (P = 0.0001) when compared to control subjects without IABP and without DTA atheroma. Conclusions: Perioperative IABP and DTA atheroma are independent predictors of perioperative AKI and in-hospital mortality. Whether adding an IABP in patients with severe DTA calcification increases their risk of developing AKI and mortality postoperatively cannot be clearly answered in this study. Nevertheless, when IABP and DTA are combined, patients are more likely to develop AKI and to die postoperatively in comparison to patients without IABP and DTA atheroma.
- Prospective evaluation of artemether-lumefantrine for the treatment of non-falciparum and mixed-species malaria in Gabon (2012)
- Background: The recommendation of artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) as first-line treatment for uncomplicated falciparum malaria is supported by a plethora of high quality clinical trials. However, their recommendation for the treatment of mixed-species malaria and the large-scale use for the treatment of non-falciparum malaria in endemic regions is based on anecdotal rather than systematic clinical evidence. Methods: This study prospectively observed the efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine for the treatment of uncomplicated non-falciparum or mixed-species malaria in two routine district hospitals in the Central African country of Gabon. Results: Forty patients suffering from uncomplicated Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale or mixed-species malaria (including Plasmodium falciparum) presenting at the hospital received artemether-lumefantrine treatment and were followed up. All evaluable patients (n = 38) showed an adequate clinical and parasitological response on Day 28 after oral treatment with artemether-lumefantrine (95% confidence interval: 0.91,1). All adverse events were of mild to moderate intensity and completely resolved by the end of study. Conclusions: This first systematic assessment of artemether-lumefantrine treatment for P. malariae, P. ovale and mixed-species malaria demonstrated a high cure rate of 100% and a favourable tolerability profile, and thus lends support to the practice of treating non-falciparum or mixed-species malaria, or all cases of malaria without definite species differentiation, with artemether-lumefantrine in Gabon.

- Biglycan: a multivalent proteoglycan providing structure and signals (2012)
- Research over the past few years has provided fascinating results indicating that biglycan, besides being a ubiquitous structural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), may act as a signaling molecule. Proteolytically released from the ECM, biglycan acts as a danger signal signifying tissue stress or injury. As a ligand of innate immunity receptors and activator of the inflammasome, biglycan stimulates multifunctional proinflammatory signaling linking the innate to the adaptive immune response. By clustering several types of receptors on the cell surface and orchestrating their downstream signaling events, biglycan is capable to autonomously trigger sterile inflammation and to potentiate the inflammatory response to microbial invasion. Besides operating in a broad biological context, biglycan also displays tissue-specific affinities to certain receptors and structural components, thereby playing a crucial role in bone formation, muscle integrity, and synapse stability at the neuromuscular junction. This review attempts to provide a concise summary of recent data regarding the involvement of biglycan in the regulation of inflammation and the musculoskeletal system, pointing out both a signaling and a structural role for this proteoglycan. The potential of biglycan as a novel therapeutic target or agent for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and skeletal muscular dystrophies is also addressed.
- Tumor angiogenesis and anti-angiogenic therapy in malignant gliomas revisited (2012)
- The cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis and its prospects for anti-angiogenic cancer therapy are major issues in almost all current concepts of both cancer biology and targeted cancer therapy. Currently, (1) sprouting angiogenesis, (2) vascular co-option, (3) vascular intussusception, (4) vasculogenic mimicry, (5) bone marrow-derived vasculogenesis, (6) cancer stem-like cell-derived vasculogenesis and (7) myeloid cell-driven angiogenesis are all considered to contribute to tumor angiogenesis. Many of these processes have been described in developmental angiogenesis; however, the relative contribution and relevance of these in human brain cancer remain unclear. Preclinical tumor models support a role for sprouting angiogenesis, vascular co-option and myeloid cell-derived angiogenesis in glioma vascularization, whereas a role for the other four mechanisms remains controversial and rather enigmatic. The anti-angiogenesis drug Avastin (Bevacizumab), which targets VEGF, has become one of the most popular cancer drugs in the world. Anti-angiogenic therapy may lead to vascular normalization and as such facilitate conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, preclinical and clinical studies suggest that anti-VEGF therapy using bevacizumab may also lead to a pro-migratory phenotype in therapy resistant glioblastomas and thus actively promote tumor invasion and recurrent tumor growth. This review focusses on (1) mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis in human malignant glioma that are of particular relevance for targeted therapy and (2) controversial issues in tumor angiogenesis such as cancer stem-like cell-derived vasculogenesis and bone-marrow-derived vasculogenesis.
- Changes of smooth muscle contractile filaments in small bowel atresia (2012)
- AIM: To investigate morphological changes of intestinal smooth muscle contractile fibres in small bowel atresia patients. METHODS: Resected small bowel specimens from small bowel atresia patients (n = 12) were divided into three sections (proximal, atretic and distal). Standard histology hematoxylin-eosin staining and enzyme immunohistochemistry was performed to visualize smooth muscle contractile markers α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) and desmin using conventional paraffin sections of the proximal and distal bowel. Small bowel from age-matched patients (n = 2) undergoing Meckel's diverticulum resection served as controls. RESULTS: The smooth muscle coat in the proximal bowel of small bowel atresia patients was thickened compared with control tissue, but the distal bowel was unchanged. Expression of smooth muscle contractile fibres SMA and desmin within the proximal bowel was slightly reduced compared with the distal bowel and control tissue. There were no major differences in the architecture of the smooth muscle within the proximal bowel and the distal bowel. The proximal and distal bowel in small bowel atresia patients revealed only minimal differences regarding smooth muscle morphology and the presence of smooth muscle contractile filament markers. CONCLUSION: Changes in smooth muscle contractile filaments do not appear to play a major role in postoperative motility disorders in small bowel atresia.
- Investigation of acupuncture sensation patterns under sensory deprivation using a geographic information system (2012)
- The study of acupuncture-related sensations, like deqi and propagated sensations along channels (PSCs), has a long tradition in acupuncture basic research. The phenomenon itself, however, remains poorly understood. To study the connection between PSC and classical meridians, we applied a geographic information system (GIS) to analyze sketches of acupuncture sensations from healthy volunteers after laser acupuncture. As PSC can be subtle, we aimed at reducing the confounding impact of external stimuli by carrying out the experiment in a floatation tank under restricted environmental stimulation. 82.4% of the subjects experienced PSC, that is, they had line-like or 2-dimensional sensations, although there were some doubts that these were related to the laser stimulation. Line-like sensations on the same limb were averaged to calculate sensation mean courses, which were then compared to classical meridians by measuring the mean distance between the two. Distances ranged from 0.83 cm in the case of the heart (HT) and spleen (SP) meridian to 6.27 cm in the case of the kidney (KI) meridian. Furthermore, PSC was observed to "jump" between adjacent meridians. In summary, GIS has proven to be a valuable tool to study PSC, and our results suggest a close connection between PSC and classical meridians.
- Molecular biology of hearing (2012)
- The inner ear is our most sensitive sensory organ and can be subdivided into three functional units: organ of Corti, stria vascularis and spiral ganglion. The appropriate stimulus for the organ of hearing is sound, which travels through the external auditory canal to the middle ear where it is transmitted to the inner ear. The inner ear houses the hair cells, the sensory cells of hearing. The inner hair cells are capable of mechanotransduction, the transformation of mechanical force into an electrical signal, which is the basic principle of hearing. The stria vascularis generates the endocochlear potential and maintains the ionic homeostasis of the endolymph. The dendrites of the spiral ganglion form synaptic contacts with the hair cells. The spiral ganglion is composed of neurons that transmit the electrical signals from the cochlea to the central nervous system. In recent years there has been significant progress in research on the molecular basis of hearing. An increasing number of genes and proteins related to hearing are being identified and characterized. The growing knowledge of these genes contributes not only to greater appreciation of the mechanism of hearing but also to a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of hereditary hearing loss. This basic research is a prerequisite for the development of molecular diagnostics and novel therapies for hearing loss.
- P3b reflects periodicity in linguistic sequences (2012)
- Temporal predictability is thought to affect stimulus processing by facilitating the allocation of attentional resources. Recent studies have shown that periodicity of a tonal sequence results in a decreased peak latency and a larger amplitude of the P3b compared with temporally random, i.e., aperiodic sequences. We investigated whether this applies also to sequences of linguistic stimuli (syllables), although speech is usually aperiodic. We compared aperiodic syllable sequences with two temporally regular conditions. In one condition, the interval between syllable onset was fixed, whereas in a second condition the interval between the syllables' perceptual center (p-center) was kept constant. Event-related potentials were assessed in 30 adults who were instructed to detect irregularities in the stimulus sequences. We found larger P3b amplitudes for both temporally predictable conditions as compared to the aperiodic condition and a shorter P3b latency in the p-center condition than in both other conditions. These findings demonstrate that even in acoustically more complex sequences such as syllable streams, temporal predictability facilitates the processing of deviant stimuli. Furthermore, we provide first electrophysiological evidence for the relevance of the p-center concept in linguistic stimulus processing.

The family of a Texas man who died in police custody has filed suit against the city of Marshall, its police chief at the time and several police officers. According to the Longview News-Journal, police Tasered 32-year-old Marcus Dewayne Slade to death in January of 2013 and ignored his sister's pleas for officers to obtain medical assistance.
Now, Slade's family are listed as plaintiffs in the suit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas. The suit is asking for wrongful death damages and survival damages against the city of Marshall, then-police Chief Stan Spence and officers John Johnston, Cortney Wells and Stacey Roach.
Last year, on Friday, Jan. 4, police responded to a disturbance call at Slade's residence at approximately 8:30 p.m. and found him naked and extremely agitated in the street. His sister, Coren Slade-Bell, arrived shortly after the police and watched as they subdued him by shocking him repeatedly with a Taser.
"They also used the Taser while I was there. They used it on him before and after I arrived. I don't know how many times… but it was at least three," Slade-Bell told the News-Journal.
Slade's limp body was loaded into a police cruiser and taken to Harrison County Jail, but he was never booked into custody. By the time he arrived at the facility, Slade was completely unresponsive. He died less than an hour later at 9:40 p.m., according to a report by Justice of the Peace Kenneth Alford.
Slade-Bell said she begged police to take her brother to a doctor.
The family's lawsuit alleges that police used excessive force in subduing Slade. Dashboard cameras in police vehicles show that Slade never made any threatening gestures or actions against police.
"Decedent Marcus Slade at no time obtained a position of command and or domination over defendants," reads the suit. Furthermore, when officers fired the Taser, Slade's "arms were at his sides while on the ground."
Officers fired the Taser seven times, delivering 50,000 volts of electricity into Slade's body with each discharge of the weapon. The lawsuit accuses the police team of ignoring the Taser company's warnings about what is known as Sudden In-Custody Death Syndrome, which lists "bizarre or violent behavior, disrobing and unusual strength and/or endurance as warning signs that a person might be at risk for an arrest related death."
The damages sought by the suit were not set at a specific amount.

House of Xian Dumpling (in old Chef Jia space) [Chinatown, San Francisco]
- soupçon Sep 27, 2013 09:13 PM
House of Xian Dumpling opened recently in the former Chef Jia space on Kearny and is in what must be considered in a "soft opening" phase, as some sections of its colorfully printed menu aren't being offered yet. Its menu is very wide-ranging, including Xi'an, Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Sichuan (and even some Cantonese) items that I could make out. I specifically asked about some Shanghai-style dim sum items and about skewers, none of which are yet available. They are up and running with noodles and dumplings (jiaozi) and I enjoyed a well-made beef tendon noodle soup which I blogged about if anyone is interested. I scanned the entire menu and posted it in a set on Flickr though, as I mentioned, not all of it is being offered as of yet.
House of Xian Dumpling
925 Kearny St.
San Francisco
I hadn't realized Chef Jia closed. Are these different owners or the same ones trying to capitalize on a different market than the overflow from House of Nanking?
Thanks for pointing out on your blog the noodles you had were knife pushed rather than hand pulled. Do let us know if you try the wide noodles and if those are hand pulled.
And good for them for listing the names of vegetables in English. Who knows if they'll actually have these all year, but choy sum, tung choy (ong choy or water spinach), leek flower, and pea sprouts are typically written only in Chinese.
re: hyperbowler
It's been so long since I've been to Chef Jia I wouldn't recognize the staff or owners. On the one hand, the menu appears to have been completely gutted (not even a "legacy" section); on the other hand, there has of yet been no recorded change in the liquor license.
House of Xian Dumplings is next to House of Nanking on Kearny St. It's a small place but it's pretty good if you get Dumplings & Noodles, other stuff just ok from what we tried.
There's a guy making noodles when I went - he's in a glassed area in the dining room so you can see him working
Ask for hot tea & ice water - given quickly.
I asked the waitress the most popular dumplings, she said the first two were it:
boiled cabbage & pork dumplings (12) $6.95 & boiled chives & pork dumplings (12) $6.95. I wanted boiled chives & fish dumpling (12) $7.95 but they ran out, so I picked boiled chives & pork dumplings which came out first & were really good! Sauce on the side you can get an extra one so you don't have to share - that's nice.
Braised beef noodle soup $6.95 - I liked the noodles - they were thin rice noodles, soft, a bit chewy. Beef I found not tender enough, some greens in the soup I liked fine. Soup was pretty good.
Cucumber & peanuts $4.95 - cucumbers were sliced up julienne style, I found them a bit sweet, not much garlic, liked them fine, peanuts we wanted them more soft, they were too crunchy still & salty.
Pig Ears $5.95 - too chewy & not tender enough - skip it.
Tung Choy spicy bean curd sauce $5.95 - it's on choy w/ some fermented bean curd sauce - liked it ok, maybe I'll just get it with garlic next time & skip the sauce.
Total before tip $33.29, credit card minimum is $15!
One unisex bathroom in the back, tiny sink & separate door for toilet.
Wanted boiled black sesame mochi $4.25 - waitress said all out.
To try: more noodle dishes, fish dumplings, & green chives pancake.
They're still working on the menu. Currently, the only xian specialties are the handmade noodles and the dumplings. According to the server, the noodle chef leaves by 7pm. When he is there, he can make biang biang noodles!
Beef tendon noodle soup: as soupcon mentioned on his blog, noodles weren't hand pulled but hand cut. Noodles were variable in length and none were longer than a foot. These were okay. Soup base was good and the tendon pieces were big and had the ideal uniform and gelatinous texture.
Wide bean noodle salad: they don't plan to put liang pi on the menu, so only these mung bean clear noodles. Clear savory sauce with lots of pepper. No vegetable presence.
Tung choy with spicy bean curd sauce : the server asked me how it was, and offered to take it back to the kitchen when I told her I could barely taste any fermented bean curd. It then came out lightly coated in the unami and salt packed whitish stuff it should have had in the first place. Very good sauce.
The biang biang noodles would be a potential draw, and there are unique items on the menu for Chinatown, but presently there's not a lot to bring me here that you can't find in the avenues.
re: hyperbowler
re: hyperbowler
No dice--- two servers said he doesn't make them and the widest he does is a fingers width.
Nice find! Got takeout from here last night and I was pleasantly surprised. Not a lot of dishes that struck me as particularly Xian-ese, but a lot of clean, well-executed renditions of some small dishes and dumplings. Standouts were the beef tendon, which had a pleasant chewy bite and addictive ma la sauce, the lotus root salad, which had a nice crunch and acidity, and the spicy dumplings, which actually disappeared before I had a chance to snag one.
One comment is that, other than the soup noodles, the portions were bizarrely tiny. I actually don't mind this, as I feel the dishes were executed thoughtfully and with a surprisingly delicate touch for such typically hearty fare. But I ordered 10 dishes (many of them small plates) and it was just enough for four normal adult eaters.
Dumplings were well-made...juicy and with nicely-textured wrappers, but about half the size of dumplings that I usually get at Beijing Restaurant or the San Mateo places. Soup noodles were generously portioned, and the broth was beefy and nicely spiced (and also not too oily, a plus). The noodles didn't stand up well to takeout (even though they packed them separately)...they seemed overcooked, so I would need to eat in to give an accurate assessment of those.
All in all, I would happily get takeout from here again. Especially the lotus root, which I have not seen anywhere else.
I'm trying to categorize this place for the Regional Roundup http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/975114. Is there anything on the menu that's more common to Shaanxi than any other particular region? I'm thinking of listing them as "Other Northern and Jiaozi"

Let's expect Ice Climbers, Diddy, Meta Knight, Pokemon Trainer, Ike, Lucas, Wario. That would raise it to 30 (34 if you count the Pokemon, ZSS and Sheik).
Now let's see:
Ganondorf, Jigglypuff, Snake, Captain Falcon, Ness, ROB, Wolf, Mr. G&W, Falco are obviously unlockable. That brings the roster up to 39 (43 if counting transformations).
This game will probably have around 45-48 (49-52 if counting transformations) characters.
Weird. That has been my guess.

It's useless to determine an exact number of characters in the roster now. I say wait for a release date, check the number of characters then and try again.
FFXI server: Phoenix (proud Galka Blue mage for 10 years now)
3DS Friend code: 3909-8734-9077
I think the only character that isn't likely to return at this point is Snake.
-Lucas had been planned to be in Melee
-Ike remains a popular character
-Wolf has a fairly unique moveset excusing his specials and he's important to Star Fox
-ROB is an important part to Nintendo's history in the same way Mr. G&W is.
-Jigglypuff is a 3-game veteran
The Official Shiek Mainer in SSBB.
I am ZERO! The deck maker o' DOOM!
Wait, so you're assuming we'll get like freaking SEVEN newcomers? Really?
64 added 12, Melee added 14, Brawl added 18, 4 will likely add equal or more than that. There's so much stuff in favor of a huge roster people are ignoring, like:
-No giant story mode(which took up like 40% of Brawl's dev time or something)
-Two teams, one of which is arguably THE most experienced fighting game makers in the world
-They don't have to code an engine from scratch(they're using a modified Brawl engine
...And instead they decide that based on an offhand comment Sakurai made about possibly not focusing on adding new characters this time around before work on the game had even started, somehow the game will feature less new content than a freaking N64 game made by like, what, a 16th of the team they have now, if that.

35 (Brawl Roster) + 10/12 = 45-48
=42 slots
My guesses are Mewtwo, Ridley and Takamaru or Prince of Sable to round the roster up to a nice 45 slots, not including transformations.

Will you still say to the one who slays you, "I am a god"?
I agree with you with the number of characters, but i think we are get some cuts. Probably Pokemon trainer, Snake, (and less likely) Wolf and Lucas. So, that means that 33(or 35) of 39 characters from brawl will make a return. That, until 50 makes a total of 15-17 newcomers which we have confirmed 5. There's at least, ten more newcomers.
That's my guess, of course. Probably there's a little bit less characters, but probably not less than 48, and a maximum of 52. So... 13-19 newcomers is a good number.


text: I don't care if they do or not, because it has been almost the same crap year after year. Mario Party 3 for the N64 was the best, because over 75 Mini-Games, and 6 or more boards. Then Gamecube is released and they didn't think they could at least fit at least 120 Mini-Games. The only Wii Version available that I picked up, was not even close to what they could have done. The same 6 Board & 75 Mini-Games which was ONLY innovative for the N64 is still the main sceem. They could have had 8 Boards and around 200 Mini-Games, they didn't even bother with making this a Dual-Layer Disc Game (More Memory, More Fun). The Computer randomness needs improve, because I have never seen them attack another Computer Player since I first played this game.

No pics here but I can say that my $149 Brooks Brothers shoes are beautiful! I got a black pair of the BB Park Avenue and a brown pair of the Strands. Both fit right. I could not see any defect on the black Park Avenue, and the laces looked like those of a shoe that had never been tried on. The laces on the Strand looked like someone may have tried them on and there was a tiny (1 mm wide and 2 mm long, max) scuff on the back of a heel. It will polish out and I will do more damage wearing them myself. I am waiting on a Brooks Brothers Presidio (brown) and Ralph Lauren Slaton (black) due to arrive on Wdnesday. Since I am currently 2/2, worst case scenario is 2/4 but I have high hopes. I wonder if a lot of the "branded" shoes are mint over-runs instead of 2nd quality shoes?
On the one hand, I am hoping not to get into trouble at home for buying so many shoes. On the other, it's an amazing deal and I keep studying the list of shoes and keep trying to talk myself out of ordering more.

"My cards turned out great. The colors are fantastic. I thought the wording/title went nicely for my situation... a VERY late new year's card. I liked that it didn't say Happy New Year on it."
"This is the second year I have ordered Christmas cards from TINY PRINTS. I LOVED BOTH CARDS. I also got a lot of compliments on them. Excellent quality. Excellent service. Excellent Customer Service. I have also bought thank you cards and return address labels. Everything has been of the highest quality. I will not shop anywhere else! Thank you TINY PRINTS!"
"This card allowed us to add more info on each kid. The design was fresh and different. I cannot tell you how many people have complimented us on the card. Just LOVED it!"
"This is not your typical sappy and boring holiday card. The colors are brilliant and seem to sparkle. I upgraded the paper and the card stock was top quality, especially comparing the price to the cost of a single card from a boxed set that is not even personalized. This worked well for us because we are a five person blended family with three boys with many interests. The main picture of all of us fit perfectly in the largest box and there were four boxes left to highlight the rest of the year's activities by individual. I also like that it is a New Year's card with a bold saying on it. New Year's cards avoid the whole religious problem some people may have and I didn't feel I had to rush to get the cards out."
"Tiny Prints - We absolutely love this card. The modern infographic layout allows for some creativity in addition to the standard picture. Please redesign it for next year so we can use it for a third year without looking stale!"

SOCHI -- P.K. Subban might be the next Drew Doughty for the Canadian Olympic team. The Montreal Canadiens star defenseman also might just be a seventh or eighth defensemen for the duration of the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
Last season's Norris Trophy winner won't mind either way.
Subban, arguably the most polarizing and debated player on the Canadian roster, appears to be coming into his first Olympic tournament with no ego of which to speak. He is filled by the long-anticipated feeling of excitement to be here and the tantalizing idea of how he might be able to contribute to a gold-medal performance, but he said he has no expectations for what his role might be and no demands on what it should be.

TV Screen Jesus
Posted by The Curator on Thu Mar 15, 2012
This might be in the running for the stupidest pareidolia ever. Floridian Guerda Maurice was watching the Bachelor on TV when she saw a design she wanted to take a picture of. (A design? I have no idea what she means by that.) So she picks up her phone and takes a picture of the TV screen. Later she looks at the picture she took and sees "Jesus picture". That is, there was a reflection on the screen that she thought looked like Jesus. She was so excited that she made a locket out of TV Screen Jesus. Link: wtsp.com. (Thanks, Bob!)

Face of ET Found in a Log
Posted by The Curator on Tue Mar 13, 2012
Ken Dobson of Chiseldon was sawing logs with a chainsaw for firewood when he saw the face of ET staring back at him from the log he just cut. Dobson doesn't say anything about believing the face to be a message from extraterrestrials. (So by American standards he's clearly nuts! Isn't it obvious this is a sign from ET?) Nor does he have plans to sell this on eBay. Instead he wants to have a professional slice more pieces from the log to see if he can get a couple more faces out of it to give to his sons.

$8100 George Washington Chicken McNugget
Posted by The Curator on Wed Mar 07, 2012
Three years ago, Rebekah Speight of Dakota City and her kids were at McDonalds, where they ordered some Chicken McNuggets. One of the McNuggets went uneaten, but just as she was about to throw it out, Rebekah noticed that it resembled George Washington. So she took it home and kept it in her freezer. And just a few days ago, this decision paid off when she managed to sell the GWCM for $8100 on eBay. But she's not keeping the money. It's all going to a charity to send children to summer church camp. Where they'll spend their time looking for the face of Jesus in tree stumps and the Virgin Mary in water stains.

Margaret's Stain
Posted by The Curator on Mon Jul 27, 2009
A stain, shaped like a human body, can be found on the concrete floor of the Athens Mental Health and Retardation Center in Athens Ohio. According to legend, this stain marks the location where the body of a patient, Margaret Schilling, lay undiscovered for several weeks back in 1979. A team of forensic scientists recently tested the stain to determine whether it's a genuine human decomposition stain, or if it was created artificially. They published the results of their investigation in the Nov 2008 issue of the Journal of Forensic Sciences (vol 53, no. 6), "Analysis of Suspected Trace Human Remains from an Indoor Concrete Surface."

Michael Jackson seen all over
Posted by The Curator on Mon Jul 06, 2009
The guy may be dead, but he's showing up all over the place. Michaeljacksonsightings.com has a few blurry pictures of the back of someone who vaguely resembles Jackson. They offer this as proof that Jackson faked his death. A family in Stockton, California have noticed an image of Michael Jackson in a tree stump in their front yard. They swear the image only appeared on the day he died. (I'm not seeing anything at all.) Then there's the ghost of Michael Jackson, which you can see in the video below. To me, it looks like someone's shadow.

Britains Got Talent… and Ghosts
Posted by The Curator on Mon Jun 01, 2009
People who spend far too much time staring closely at the TV have identified an extremely small, blurry dark shape that appears to move rapidly across the stage during a semi-final performance on Britains Got Talent. (Embedding is disabled on this video, so you've got to go to YouTube itself.) It took me a while to even be able to see the "ghost." It starts at 0:51, at the right side of the stage. By 0:53 it's gone, darting off the left side of the stage. (Warning: it's really, really small!) I think it's just a lighting artifact. Dave Tolomy, who gave me…

If your weapon power with EPtW up is 125 and you're using six beams, you'd be firing at a sustained rate at 75 (slightly more, but lets just go with this) power.
If your weapon power is 125 to start with and you use EPtW2 (~30 bonus weapon power), then you'd be firing at a sustained rate at 105 (slightly more, same as above) power.
I was asked to provide the data, and I have gathered it as best as I can. Since I treated both ships similarly, it will likely help give some determination of just what it can do, though with these facts in mind I will likely run a few more missions to see how it turns out.
If that's the case then this fact needs to be publicized much more.
Almost every post I have ever seen insists that any power over 125 is power that is wasted. If it acts as a buffer, then it really isn't "wasted," so this assertion does not tell the entire story. But from reading those threads it seems to have slipped off into the aether, never to be seen or heard from again.

Staff writer
---- — LAWRENCE — Antonio Frazier and Scott Brown escaped first-degree murder charges but were convicted of lesser offenses by a Lawrence Superior Court jury yesterday.
Frazier, 26, of Mattapan was convicted of the second-degree murder of Gustavo Perez, 39, in 2011 and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
His accused accomplice, Brown, 26, of Brockton, beat the murder charge altogether. He was convicted of assault and battery and sentenced to two years in jail.
A conviction on first-degree murder carries a penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Frazier and Brown were charged with killing Perez, of Lawrence, in an execution-style slaying on Essex Street in Lawrence on Nov. 29, 2011.
At 4:30 p.m. that day, Perez stepped outside the Italian American Club when he had a gun emptied into him. Frazier was the shooter and was accompanied by Brown. Six bullets were found in Perez's brain and torso, according to testimony.
Numerous people who witnessed the shooting that afternoon testified in court. Lawrence police officer Joseph Padellaro, who was on his way to work and heard gunshots, also testified during the trial, which opened on Tuesday, March 11.
Defense attorneys for Frazier and Brown argued there were no forensics in the case — DNA, fingerprints or gunshot residue — linking their clients to the crime. Frazier's attorney Jeffrey Karp, and Edward Hayden, who represented Brown, also said there inconsistencies in witness accounts of the crime.
But Prosecutor Kate MacDougall said Frazier and Brown had come to Lawrence that afternoon to commit a "cold-blooded execution-style" murder. Perez ran a gambling room at the Italian-American Club on Essex Street where, MacDougall said, "up to $20,000 could be won or lost with the roll of the dice."
Jurors started deliberating Wednesday afternoon and reached a verdict yesterday around 1 p.m.
Deadlocked on Thursday, the jurors were given additional instructions by Judge Douglas Wilkins on Friday morning and sent back to deliberate.
A father of three, Perez was a native of Nagua in the northeastern part of the Dominican Republic. He immigrated to Lawrence as a youngster and later graduated from Lawrence High School.

Olympic Security Fears
Staff from the North East whose job it is to vet applications for security workers at the London Olympics say they are under so-much pressure they are cutting corners.
An ITV News investigation has uncovered claims that they are not checking information on forms because of the number of application forms they are expected to process.
They work in the Teesside offices of G4S, the Global company which has secured the security contract for the games.
One whistleblower told us
– G4S employee
You do cut corners. We're supposed to check employment history, to check the company on their form exists. We're supposed to check educational history. But the only way to get through all the forms is to cut corners. It's cut corners or lose your job. That's what it seems to be.
But it's not just the pressure they are under that is causing concern. ITV News has discovered that despite having access to a host of personal documents, many staff still haven't been given a criminal records check.
Security expert Andy Redhead, from Sec-tech Specialised Security Solutions, sits on a national security advisory panel and has worked at major sporting events including Wimbledon.
– Andy Redhead, Security Expert
it's not excuseable. If I was a police officer working at the Olympics and had private guards around me I would have concerns about who was standing next to me at the Olympics.
ITV News put all the concerns raised in this report to G4S and the London Olympic Games Organising Committee. Neither was willing to speak on camera but they issued the following statements:
– G4S Statement
All staff employed at our screening and vetting centres are approved and screened to an industry standard before they are given work by G4S. This standard does not require a criminal records check (CRC), but we go beyond the standard and include a CRC during an employee's probationary period.

Our screening processes are subject to continual review and adjustments are made where necessary to ensure efficiency, while quality and compliance are maintained. The screening conducted by G4S operates on many levels and no individual in the screening operation can complete an applicant through the process without it being cleared and checked by others, including experienced senior personnel. All London 2012 applicants who are vetted and screened by G4S go through a further screening process by the Games organiser LOCOG, which is overseen by the Home Office, before they are allowed to work

A Reexamination of the Corporate Demand for Reinsurance
AbstractThis study examines the effect of the state of the international reinsurance market on the demand for reinsurance by U.S. insurers using data from the years 1993 through 2000. Both the overall demand for reinsurance and the utilization of foreign reinsurance by U.S. insurers are explored. In addition to supporting the findings of prior literature related to the traditional motives for the corporate demand for insurance, evidence indicates that the state of the U.S. reinsurance industry impacts the amount of reinsurance demanded by U.S. insurers. The study also investigates reasons why U.S. insurers utilize a reinsurance program composed of both U.S. and foreign reinsurers. The results indicate that the decision to utilize some percentage of foreign reinsurance is driven primarily by the financial and operational characteristics of the ceding company such as firm size, group affiliation, and organizational form. However, no support is found for the hypothesis that possible differences between the foreign and U.S. reinsurance markets impact the decision to utilize foreign reinsurance.

Backpacker Magazine – Online Exclusive
A look back at the packs we've loved for years that's still at the top of its class.
Bergans of Norway Glittertind
"This pack carried epic winter loads like a dream," says an editor who hauled 50 pounds up a steep skin track in Montana. This 2013 Editors' Choice Snow Award winner is versatile, with plenty of winter-specific features—hipbelt sled-attachment points, ice axe loops, shovel pouch, and wand pockets—but it's light enough for summer trips, too. $239; 4 lbs. 10 oz.; 55 liters; bergans.com
BP seems to have missed the mark here, and forgot one pack in particular that is Awesome... The Ospery Aether. recently it seems that the buyers guide and gear guide have become nothing more that BP's way of advertising a product. usually I cant go wrong in using the gear they recommend, Aether is no exception, I have logged hundreds of miles and have had NO complaints NO failures, no worries.
Beware of the very narrow torso size of 15" - 16". I was really excited to order but it had to be returned because of this. Beautiful pack though if you're in this specific size range.
My Gregory Denali Pro is as rock solid as my Tacoma. I take an 10-11 day trip every year.My pack starts out at 60 lbs.Comfortable.
This is a "Backpack Hall of Fame", with no mention of:
1) Kelty Tioga
2) Dana Terraplane
3) Northface Rucksack
Please don't insult us......
I have the 65L large.
Actually, there are two sizes. In addition to this one there's a 25 liter size for $129.

Cairo- The First Baptist Church of Cairo is marking its 130th birthday later this month. But on Sunday, the congregation will hold a small celebration after the morning service.
The pastor, Doctor Joe Allen, is hoping First Baptist's future is even brighter then its past. "We're really stressing that not only do we have a great history, but we're also stressing that we're looking to the future. We truly believe that the greatest days of our church are yet future."
First Baptist began when 12 members of the Longbranch Baptist Church took it upon themselves to start a new congregation. They wanted to be closer to the railroad tracks.

Totally unique, isolated and stunning!! You will NEVER forget this place or remain unaffected. Amazing.
By no means a competent sailor- not knowing my starboard from port- i used the services of cooperative barcaioli ponzesi,which is reasonably priced and offers knowledgeable local sea captain at the helm.
The first morning we cruised across a rolling sea to Palmarola,a small island west of Ponza,inhabited only in summer,but with an incredible landscape that's truly unique,a kind of...
Great place for a short break near Rome. By car join the porto of Anzio,then after 45min on the hydrofoil join Ponza (or by boat 1,5 hour from Fiumicino); rent a fast zodiac at Diva Luna, join Palmarola in 30min!! try to get there early in the morning when nobody is there!.there are no beaches but you can have wonderful...
Forget Capri...this is 100X better! This little gem is paradise, people are lovely, is quiet and romantic and you can not take enough pictures.

Senate committee looking into Brazeau's housing allowance
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Wednesday, November 21, 2012 5:31PM EST
Last Updated Wednesday, November 21, 2012 5:47PM EST
Senate Government Leader Marjory LeBreton has asked a committee to look into whether Sen. Patrick Brazeau broke any rules by claiming his primary residence was his father's home, located 130 kilometres from Ottawa, as CTV first reported.
Senators are given a $20,000 housing allowance if their primary residence is at least 100 kilometres from the capital.
Brazeau claimed his primary residence is his father's home is in Maniwaki, Que., but when CTV's Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife travelled there, others in the community said they had rarely seen Brazeau at the house.
"Only the papa," said a butcher whose shop is directly across the street from the house.
LeBreton has asked the Senate's board of internal economy to see whether Brazeau should be claiming the annual $20,000 taxpayer-subsidized housing allowance.
Brazeau rents a home in Gatineau, just across the river from Ottawa and a short drive to Parliament Hill. He has lived there since March 2011.
When he was first appointed to the Senate, Brazeau did not collect the housing allowance because he owned a Gatineau home with his then wife.
Brazeau told CTV News on Tuesday that he has always been open and transparent, and again said his primary residence was in Maniwaki.
"All I'm doing is following the rules," he said.
A source close to Brazeau told CTV News that the senator has had financial difficulties since he split from his wife, despite an annual salary of $132,000.
He has also had a child support dispute with a separate woman, with whom he has a teenaged son.
The source said that over the holidays, Brazeau bakes and sells his own homemade meat pies at a Gatineau bar to make extra money.
