Stage 4 colon cancer describes the stage in the disease when the cancer has spread beyond the colon itself. Another term for stage 4 cancer is metastatic cancer.
Making Important Decisions About Your Stage 4 Colon Cancer Care
Unfortunately, in most cases, stage 4 colon cancer is not considered curable. However, it can be treated. People can live many months and even years with stage 4 colon cancer. How long a person lives after the diagnosis depends on many things, including how the colon cancer cells are behaving, where the colon cancer has spread, and how a person responds to available treatments.
How Much Information Do You Want About Your Stage 4 Colon Cancer Prognosis?
Among the first things you will discuss with your health care team is how much information you want about your prognosis. Prognosis refers to the possible course of disease and how much time you have. Some people want very specific information regarding how long they might live with stage 4 colon cancer. Other people prefer not to know these details.
Even if you want as much information as possible, keep in mind that predicting how long someone will live with stage 4 colon cancer is not exact. Your doctor may give you a range of time he or she expects you will live. This is his or her best guess, which is based on your particular case and on your doctor's medical experience. Everyone is different.
Also remember that situations change. Some people live much longer than expected. Others live for a shorter time. And some doctors will not give predictions about how long a person will live with stage 4 colon cancer, because they simply do not know.
The most important thing to know is that you can learn as much or as little as you want about your prognosis. It is up to you. Be sure to make what you want to know (or don't) clear to the doctor.
What Does Your Family Want to Know?
When making your decision about details, of course, it can be important to think about those who love you and may help care for you. Many family members want complete information about how long a loved one may live after being diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Other family members may find this information very upsetting. They may not want to hear it.
Make sure your doctor knows who in your family wants (or needs) complete information and who does not. Your doctor can even make a note in your chart describing your goals for information sharing about your cancer treatment. This way, everyone on the health care team will be on the same page during appointments.
Being diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer can make you feel out of control. Knowing your options regarding information sharing about your cancer, your treatment decisions, and your end of life care will help you move forward at a difficult time.

Thread: SharperImage Mock Draft 2013!!
SharperImage Mock Draft 2013!!
1st round #23 (#23 overall) - Keenan Allen, WR
2nd round #22 (#54 overall) - Justin Hunter, WR
3rd round #21 (#85 overall) - Tyler Wilson, QB
4th round #5 (#101 overall T.J MacDonald, SS
4th round #23 (#119 overall) - Jordan Hill, DT
5th round #22 (#150 overall) - Tyrann Mathieu, CB
7th round #7 (#199 overall Best Punter available
7th round #23 (#215 overall) - best OLB available.
if the vikes are smart thwy could get all former/current first round talent in all their picks.. SKOL!
My draft changes day by day but here is my official after combine mock draft 1.0
I started off by looking at team needs before us to see who they might draft. So we would have an idea of who would be left for us. and we have a few good propects left which means the staff will have to make a decision. Here's how I think the first round will go:
Team Need Team Player Pos. College
QB, WR, DE 1. Kansas City Luke Joeckel LOT Tex A &M
QB, DE, CB 2. Jacksonville Damontre Moore DE Tex A &M
DT, CB, OLB 3. Oakland Sharrif Floyd DT Fla
QB, DE, NT 4. Philadelphia Geno Smith QB WVA
DE, S, C 5. Detroit Ezekiel Ansah DE BYU
QB, OLB, WR 6. Cleveland Cordarrelle PattersonWR Tenn
QB, OT, OLB 7. Arizona Eric Fisher OT C. Mich
QB, WR, OLB 8. Buffalo Dion Jordan OLB Oregon
QB, RT, OLB 9. New York Jets Jarvis Jones OLB Georgia
S, G, CB 10. Tennessee Chance Warmack G Alabama
OT, G, OLB 11. San Diego Lane Johnson LOT Oklahoma
OT, WR, CB 12. Miami Keenan Allen WR California
CB, DE, TE 13. Tampa Bay Dee Milliner CB Alabama
DT, C, S 14. Carolina Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri
OLB, S, OT 15. New Orleans Kenny Vaccaro S Texas
OT, S, WR 16. St. Louis Jonathan Cooper G UNC
OLB, WR, S 17. Pittsburgh Desmond Trufant CB Wash
G, S, DE 18. Dallas Barkevious Mingo DE/OLB LSU
OT, G, CB 19. New York Giants Bjoern Werner DE Fla St.
OT, G, TE 20. Chicago Tyler Eifert TE ND
RB, LB, S 21. Cincinnati Eddie Lacy RB Alabama
S, CB, RT 22. Washington Xavier Rhodes CB Fla St.
Which means great players like Alec Ogletree, Matt Elam, Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short,Sam Montgomery, Kevin Minterand Jonathan Jenkins would be there. Then you have WRs such as DeAndre Hopkins, Justin Hunter, Robert Woods, Da' Rick Rogers and TavonAustin. Who should they take I narrowed it down to five, Matt Elam, Kevin Minter, Alec Ogletree, Kawann Short and robert Woods. Star if he passes a physical, right now I am not sure he will ever play football.
So the Vikings Select
1. Kawann Short DT P
2. Robert Woods WR USC
3. Zavier Gooden OLB Missouri
4. David Ameron CB NCST
4. TJ McDonald S USC
5. Tyler Bray QB Tenn
7. Marquess Wilson WR Wash St.
7. James Wilson G Fla
There ya go, I believe the first three will start and do well. Ameron was an All American his junior year if he can get his act together that would be four starters. TJ Mcdonald may be our answer at the other safety, at least I hope so if we draft all these guys.

I know a lot of mocks, most in fact, aren't showing it, but I read we still had our 6th due to McNabb not meeting conditions for that additional 6th round pick to WAS...anybody heard different?
Vikings end up with nine draft picks, including their own 6th-rounder | 1500 ESPN Twin Cities ? Minnesota Sports News & Opinion (Twins, Vikings, Wolves, Wild, Gophers) | Sportswire: Minnesota Vikings
Nice work gents! I could be real happy with either of those lists.
Tho, I don't see us going QB in round 3 with our need at DT and MLB. Pretty sure somebody else will have grabbed Wilson by then anyway, and, unless they've erected one of the thickest smokescreens ever, pretty sure, we've attached the Purple Wagon to Ponder, for better or worse. But, if we landed say, Jon Bostic at MLB in the 3rd while adding Allen and Hunter as outside weapons and then some good depth at S and DT in the 4th, I'd be absolutely freaking Ecstatic!
Tarkenton, I think that list is pretty realistic, and would be one hell of a draft for the Purple Pride! Woods is very polished, perhaps the 2nd most NFL ready WR of this draft and could be a year 1 contributor. Short would be a great addition to our DL rotation at the very least and Gooden showed top end speed at the combine, both straight line and in the short area. Amerson and McDonald in the 4th might be a bit of a stretch, but would definitely up competition at both spots if they were there for us, and Bray just might be the steal of the deal if we could get him properly motivated to clean up his off field stuff. Marquess Wilson has great speed for a 7th. Ok...maybe not quite as realistic as I thought, but not far off either.
In your all NFL mock, I had not seen CLE going WR that early, having already spent their 2nd on Gordon, but, I like the idea, and they do need another playmaker. What I don't see, is PHI going QB that early. They restructered Vick, signed Dixon who played for Kelly in Oregon, and still have last year's early-mid QB pick, Nick Foles, who flashed at times.
I've been thinking about posting a 7 round wishlist here too, but like you said, it changes day by day right about now!
SKOL VIKINGS!!!Control the line, control the time, and give your D a chance to shine!!

You might even to be able to flip Ameron and Gooden, some analysts are starting to give some love to Ameron. Every time I like a cat they start to climb. It happened to Warford, Patterson and Short, now Gooden and Ameron are climbing the draft charts.
I love this time of year and would like to see anyone's draft go for it!!

Always like to see fans mock drafts...
Who knows where some of these guys will wind up getting drafted. Looking at the OPs list, we might get both of those WRs but I thought the QB Wilson was slotted to go before the Vikes 3rd round pick (Great Blue North has him rated #44 player overall, meaning he'd likely be gone before the Vikes 2nd round pick came up...they also had Hunter ranked 43rd overall). I guess if Wilson falls to the 3rd you consider taking him, but I just don't see the Vikes taking a QB high at all in this draft. Too many needs at DT, LB, and WR to go after a guy that may never see the field. I also see no need to waste a draft pick on a punter when Kluwe is more than adequate.SKOL VIKINGS!
MVs early, early just after the combine, draft wishlist OK, Im trying to be realistic here, but of course, Im hoping for some steals!! -
Rd.1 Keenen Allen, WR: The most NFL ready, polished route runner of the draft has good hands, great size and OK speed. He runs all the routes well and maybe more importantly, seems to be a team first guy, who didnt complain at all when his QB played poorly. We need help now, so his experience and polish are important fits and give him a legit chance of being a significant year 1 contributor.
Rd.2 Jesse Williams, DT: A big, 63 323 pound, strong presence in the middle with a consistent motor and supreme toughness who has experience in both 3-4 and 4-3 defenses at NT and DE. His run stuffing could recreate the Williams Wall for a few years and set us up to better weather Kevins eventual departure and/or retirement. Did we mention he also plays lead blocking FB on short yardage plays? And, another character fit for our team:
As a person, Williams is a whole different matter. He's never been in trouble, and his teammates have never said anything bad about him.
Let's let his tattoos explain his personality. On his head, "Fear is a liar". On his left ear, a smiley face. On his right hand, "I stopped checking for the monster under the bed when I realized the monster is me". Right next to his left ear: yolo.
Williams' teammates describe him as "funny", "nice" and "thinking". That would seem to fit with the tattoos.
3a. Jon Bostic, ILB: Profootball focus has Brinkleys performance ranked 52 of 54 MLBs in todays pass-happy NFL, I think we need more speed at the Mike. Bostic is a leader with experience in a top defense that plays against top teams in the SEC.
Downhill Mike linebacker attacks lanes in the run game, often running through reach-blocks to get to his target. Immediately presses with hands on contact with good pad level to create space to work. Brings power to his tackles, stopping momentum and sometimes throwing bigger ballcarriers to the ground. Stuffs fullback blocks and holds his ground to stop linemen if unable to beat their blocks Hustles in coverage, knows responsibilities on the tight end/running back and works to limit yards after catch. Sniffs out screens and secures the stop.
3b. Ryan Swope, WR: So, in the first, we get our big, versatile, and most importantly, reliable go-to guy. What Im adding here is some top tier insurance with a chance to take the roof off. People tend to want to compare this kid to Wes Welker or Jordy Nelson due to his color, but looking at the numbers, I see more of a Percy Harvin clone who happens to have more route versatility in addition to his high school backfield experience. He is a solid 60 205 pounds who ran a blazing 4.34 in the 40 and a shifty 6.76 three-cone shuttle with a huge 37 vertical and a respectable 16 reps of 20 lbs more than he weighs. But, most importantly, he has consistent experience having caught over 70 balls and averaged over 11 yards/catch for 3 years straight. Check out some highlights, he runs all the routes and makes all the catches with a Harvin-esque build and style!
#25 WR Ryan Swope Texas A&M JR & SR Season Highlights 2011-2013 - YouTube
Rd.5 Josh Evans S (or Robert Lester?) Good speed, size and experience but, perhaps, lacking the killer instinct and/or top measurables. But a good value athlete who would contribute on STs and provide at least depth if not competition to start opposite Smith.
Rd.6 Reid Fragel RT? Wow. This is where it gets hard; so many options! Im starting to get the feeling that somebody is going to pay Loadholt more than we think hes worth and well probably sign a low cost alternative who needs a backup with potential to step in as a starter sooner than later. Enter Reid Fragel, a former TE and an imposing figure at 68 and 308 lbs with the athleticism to block at the 2nd level and room on his frame to add to his already impressive (33 reps) strength. Maybe we lose a lil meat in the run game, our strength, but we gain some agility for pass blocking, and hopefully, cut our pre-snap, oops, shot my own foot off, penalties in half or better!
Maybe? Rounds 5 and 6 should be switched? I guess, realistically, I would have to put RT as a bigger need if we lose Load, since we can probably retain Sanford relatively cheap and we still have Raymond too. But, value wise, looks like Fragel lasts til later
Rd.7 Really? OK, I think I should throw in the towel here and leave round 7 up to the guys with a scouting department if not the whole damn thing!? IDK? Take a stab at a QB? ST depth ?

Was originally going to trash your draft, til I reread the thread and saw your updated 4/20 one. That one is pretty good. I might prefer a different DT depending on who else might still be on the board. And we do have three 7th round picks, btw.SKOL VIKINGS!

It's raining outside and I'm showing you this spring outfit!
The pics are from last weekend when it seemed that spring was here to stay. I took advantage to wear some new items that I bought from spring-summer collections, like this polka dot silk blouse that now is one of my favorites. I'm impatient to wear it with red, grey, nude, leather pants, pleated skirts... has infinite possibilities.
Are you impatient to wear some spring-summer garment?

Freddi the Dog, By Lisa and Randy Herman, Illustrated by Bruce Hammond, is a charming story with quirky graphics that tells the story of a very adventurous, and apparently hungry, dog named Freddi.
Freddi, who is a real dog, decides that nearly everything in the house reminds him of his favorite foods and therefor has himself a variable holiday buffet ranging from belts to hats. Apparently his tiny little naughty bone occasionally makes him run a muck in the home… I know someone kind of like that *cough* Ty *cough*.
When all is said and done he is one sick puppy and must go to the vet! Eventually Freddi learns that he can simply not going around eating everything, which is a lesson that my toddler needs to learn as well. Although, my son doesn't necessarily eat everything, he puts just about everything in his mouth. So Freddi has a friend in common.
My son enjoys the colorful pictures and language in the book. My husband and I have read it to him several times and he even took it to grandpas house!
About the Authors:
Lisa and Randy met 3 years ago and were married on August 8, 2009. Lisa has lived in California for 14 years but she was born in England. Randy has lived in California his entire life. They live in Corona, California and are currently working on Freddi's next adventure.

The main event hasn't started yet. Not sure when the main event starts exactly, but I think that it might be after the match that's on right now, or it might not be on for an hour, possibly two.
Got to give it up to the Ukrainians (and Russians) for their dedication to the sweet science. Just my opinion, but I think that the Ukrainians hold the boxing upper hand over their former landlords in general terms (not including the shock upset over Sillakh).

Women's soccer battles Buffalo to a 2-2 tie
Related Links
Sept. 3, 2005
ORLANDO, Fla.- - Junior Jenny Borschel scored two second-half goals to help the Jacksonville University women's soccer team force a 2-2 tie against Buffalo on Saturday afternoon at the UCF Women's Invitational in Orlando, Fla.
"I was very pleased with the determination the girls showed coming back from a 2-0 deficit at half," said head coach Chris Kouns. "It says a lot about this young group for them to overcome a 2-0 deficit at half in two out of three games this season."
Buffalo (1-1-1) lead initially scoring two first-half goals. Buffalo's Natalia Crofut scored an unassisted goal around the 38-minute mark. Andrea Vescio added to Buffalo's first-half lead by scoring an unassisted goal with 2:52 remaining.
The Dolphins (0-2-1) battled back in the second half and tied the game. Borschel scored her second goal of the season from an assist by freshman Keri Zwikker around the 35-minute frame. Zwikker dished out fourth assist in three games to Borschel who scored a goal from 16 yards out with less than 15-mintues remaining in the second half. Borschel has now three goals in three games.
Keri Zwikker and Jenny Borschel have formed a great chemistry with another," said Kouns. "They have brought life into our team as attackers and are creating some really nice goals with their interplay."
Freshman Stephanie Kormanik had a chance to win the game for the game in the first overtime period, but the shot was saved by Buffalo's goalie Anna-Lesa Calvert. Borschel had a chance to end the game in the second overtime, but her attempt at the goal was blocked.
Junior goalie Michelle Kmiotek logged every minute of the game and recorded five saves--two in overtime--in her first start of the season.
"The big difference today was Michelle Kmiotek returning to the nets," Kouns commented. "She has not trained a single day since mid-summer because of stress fractures, but she got cleared to play yesterday and we needed her presence back. She has made a huge difference for us and we will only get better as she gets to train again."
The Dolphins will play their home opener at 6 p.m. on Friday, September 9 against Eastern Kentucky in the JU/Best Western Invitational.
The JU/Best Western Invitational will also mark the women soccer team's 2nd annual Kick Out Cancer event. The Dolphins will be raising money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation's Peloton Project. Fans attending the JU/Best Western Invitational will receive a yellow "Livestrong" bracelet with a donation of one dollar or more. There is also a silent auction running currently on the women's soccer of judolphins.com with autographed items from Lance Armstrong, Arnold Palmer and NASCAR superstars to bid on. All proceeds from the bracelets and online auction will go to the LAF's Peloton Project to benefit cancer research.

The Andhra Pradesh State Cabinet has approved a new land policy framework which seeks to remove arbitrary allotment of land for industries.
The State Cabinet, which met here on Friday after over two months, took this issue on a priority as scores of large infrastructure projects have been allocated land without a proper policy in place in the past leading to several litigations and criminal cases.
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India too had pointed out that the State needs to have land policy which removes all discretionary power to allocate land.
The Government will also have the power to collect rent on leased land to industries. The Government seeks to minimise auction of lands. Earlier, this was seen as a revenue stream.
Briefing newspersons after the Cabinet meeting, the State Information Minister, D.K. Aruna, said that it was decided to hold a special Assembly session to discuss issues relating to fund allocation to SCs and STs.
In other major decisions, the Hyderabad Metro Water Board has been accorded clearance to raise about Rs 2,500 crore for Krishna and Godavari drinking water supply projects.
Vidyut Bonds
The Cabinet has decided to extend guarantee and allow AP Transco to raise up to Rs 4000 crore by sale of Vidyut bonds to Power Finance Corporation.

The Salem News
---- — SALEM — Bridget Dullea of Peabody, a senior basketball and lacrosse star at Salem State University, was awarded the school's highest athletic honor last night, being named the Female President's Cup Award winner at its annual varsity awards banquet at the George Ellison Center on campus.
Dullea was presented with the award by Salem State President Dr. Patricia Maguire Meservey, as was the Male President's Cup Award winner, soccer standout Eryk Fernandez.
A transfer to Salem State, Dullea played for the Vikings' women's basketball and women's lacrosse teams for two years and was team MVP in both sports twice. She led the MASCAC in goals and overall points this spring for the lacrosse team, being named First Team All-Conference. For the season, Dullea scored 62 goals and added 12 assists for 74 points, leading the team in shots attempted (142) and shots on goal (106).
A selfless player, she was also an All-MASCAC guard on the Vikings' basketball team. On the hardcourt, she averaged 12.5 points per game in 26 games, playing a team high 321/2 minutes per contest. A 77 percent free throw shooter, Dullea also led Salem State in steals (90) and offensive rebounds (61, with a combined total of 124) while also dishing out 54 assists.
An outstanding student with a 3.75 grade-point average and two-time member of the MASCAC's All-Academic Team who majored in Sport Movement Science, Dullea set the standard for success in the classroom and on the playing fields at Salem State.
Fernandez, a senior from Nipomo, Calif., scored five game-winning goals for the SSU men's soccer team this past season, his first as a starter, and was named the MASCAC Player of the Year after leading the circuit in both goals and total points. An All-New England first team selection by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA), he led the Vikings to their third regular season conference title game in four years and fourth straight MASCAC championship game. Fernandez became the focal point of the team on the strength of his talent and strong leadership skills.
The John D. Galaris Female and Male Student-Athlete Awards were given to Courtney Lynch and Matt Sebet, respectively.
Lynch, a four-year starter and two-time captain of the Salem State field hockey team, led the team in goals and assists and guided her squad to a postseason bid. Additionally, she was a four-time member of the All-Little East Academic Team and member of its 2012 All-Conference Team. A versatile leader who played multiple positions for the betterment of the team, she carried a 3.76 GPA and was a three-year member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee at SSU.
Sebet was a three-year starter for the Salem State golf team and two-time captain on the links. Possessing tremendous character on and off the course, he was a two-time member of the New England Intercollegiate Golf Association All-Tournament Team and a member of three MASCAC title teams. A 2013 NCAA All-American Scholar nominee, Sebet was a three-year Dean's List student with a 3.3 GPA. In addition, he was a three-time All-Conference performer and an All-New England selection.
In addition to two-sport MVP Dullea, three local standouts were also honored as being MVPs of their respective teams at Salem State: Amy Griffith of Middleton (women's soccer), Katie Herlihy of Marblehead (women's cross country) and MacKenzie Carpenter of Peabody (volleyball).
Salem State's other team MVPs included Ryan Hyjek, baseball; Ian Abrahamson, men's lacrosse; Jessica Spinale, women's tennis; Matt Kenline, men's ice hockey; Thomas Grant, men's golf; Katie Herlihy of Marblehead, women's cross country; Ken Hodgkins, men's tennis; Brett McCoy, men's cross country; Andrew White, men's basketball; Alyssa Bryan, softball; Eryk Fernandez, men's soccer; Erin Wilson, field hockey; and Jenn Toussaint, women's ice hockey.
In total, 54 Salem State seniors were honored for their collegiate athletic careers last night.

As other neighboring school districts have done, the Maine Township High School District 207 board voted Monday to move from textbooks to Google Chromebooks, which are a type of laptop computer.
The Chromebooks will cost each student a technology fee of $319, plus an optional insurance charge. However, over a three-year span, that would result in cost savings of $225 over what each student would normally pay in textbook charges, according to a D-207 presentation.
Students who will be freshman and sophomores in the 2013-14 school year will be the first to get the Chromebooks. Juniors will be added in the 2014-15 school year and all students will have them by the 2015-16 school year.
"The Education Committee supports the proposal because of its important academic implications and fiscal advantages to all concerned," wrote Dr. Barb Dill-Varga, assistant superintendent for curriculum/instruction, in a memo to Superintendent Ken Wallace.
Like Niles-Morton Grove Patch or Park Ridge Patch, or both, on Facebook
Eighth graders who will be entering Maine South in the fall had an orientation program Thursday evening, and Principal Shawn Messmer told students they would be using Chromebooks and that more information would be coming soon. The district's timeline calls for parents to order the Chromebooks in April.
D-207 education specialists felt now is the time to go from paper to digital because of the lower cost and greater availability of digital textbooks, according to the district presentation.
Dave Beery, the district's communications director, said the Chromebooks are equipped with a hefty 16 GB of memory and come with the powerful graphic calculators the district asks students to buy.
However, most of students' information will be stored in the cloud, according to a Google.com document, so that if a student loses his or her Chromebook, the student can log on to any other Chromebook and find his or her information.
Neighboring high school districts have already switched to digital textbooks. Niles Township High Schools use Linux netbooks, Leyden Township High Schools use Chromebooks, and Adlai Stevenson and New Trier High Schools use iPads.
The District 207 board on Monday approved spending $1.069 million to purchase 3,350 Chromebooks. The district will be reimbursed as parents pay the $319 per student technology fee, leaving the expense to the district at $218,342 for the first year, according to Dill-Varga's memo.

Platsoucas, Oleszak Seminar Helps to Launch ODU's Center for Molecular Medicine
Chris Platsoucas, dean of the Old Dominion University College of Sciences, and his wife and research collaborator, Emilia Oleszak, associate professor of biological sciences, will present their latest work concerning the surprisingly complex-and sometimes inimical-workings of the human immune system at a noon seminar, Friday, Sept. 12, as the first public presentation of ODU's Center for Molecular Medicine (CMM).
The center was recently established to enhance biomedical research at the university and to increase the research and research support received by the College of Sciences. It will be a focal point for biomedical research including immunology, virology, microbiology and molecular pathogenesis, infectious diseases, inflammation and mammalian molecular genetics supported by peer-reviewed research grants primarily from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other sources.
Additional areas of research will include bioinformatics, systems biology and computational/mathematical biology, and emphasis will be given to interdisciplinary interactions. "The CMM will bring together biomedical scientists to foster and enhance collaborative research interactions among departments, across colleges of ODU and other institutions," Platsoucas said.
The center will serve as a catalyst to facilitate the submission of major grants, such as program project grants, center grants and training grants, with the objective to substantially increase National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for ODU. "Although grant awards to the college have been increased this year by 11.8 percent to $12.78 million, grant support from NIH is limited and must be increased for the university to become a top 100 public research institution," the dean said.
Friday's seminar led by Platsoucas and Oleszak launches a seminar series of the CMM. The title of the presentation is "Human Autoimmune Diseases and Anti-Tumor Immunity Are Specific-Antigen Driven and Are Mediated Primarily by T Cells: Identification of the Antigens."
The seminar will be from noon to 1 p.m. in the first floor auditorium of the E.V. Williams Engineering and Computational Sciences Building. Christopher Osgood, associate dean of the college and associate director of the Center for Molecular Medicine, is the organizer of the seminar series.
Platsoucas is an internationally recognized research investigator and scholar in the United States and abroad because of seminal research discoveries on the molecular and cellular immunology of human T cells. He has authored or co-authored more than 160 research articles and reviews that are frequently cited in the scientific literature. He has been awarded $23.5 million in research grant support, about $18 million of which was for projects for which he has been or is principal investigator.
The dean, who came to ODU last year, has studied the way T cells cause and maintain chronic inflammation in humans. (T cells are white blood cells that typically protect against infection and disease and are essential to the human immune system. But in autoimmune responses, T cells can attack the body's healthy cells and trigger diseases.) The research lays the foundation for strategies against autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, abdominal aortic aneurisms, and against the human body's rejection of organ transplants.
Platsoucas also has done research in immunity against tumors and toward the development of tumor vaccines and other immunotherapy approaches, which someday may have broad use in the fight against cancer. Vaccines are designed to induce the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells.
He often collaborates in T-cell research with Oleszak, a neurovirologist. She studies the role of T cells in inflammatory demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
The couple is investigating the hypothesis that most human autoimmune diseases are specific antigen-driven T-cell diseases. In other words, T cells activated by antigens provide the engine for the chronic inflammation that is associated with autoimmune diseases, organ graft rejections and tumor immunity. Their research seeks to identify the T-cell antigen receptor transcripts employed by clonally expanded T cells in order to identify the specific antigens that elicit these adverse T-cell responses.
Daniel Sonenshine, ODU professor emeritus of biological sciences, will present the second CMM lecture on Oct. 31.

Greenalls face Fife in Guardian Cup final clash
6:00am Thursday 1st May 2014 in Sport
GREENALLS PSO will look to defend the Guardian Cup when they face Warrington Division One outfit Fife Rangers in the final on Monday, May 5, 11am at Cantilever Park.
Greenalls have scored 13 goals and conceded two in their five games, while Fife also scored 13 and conceded four.
Greenalls head into the final as favourites, playing three divisions above their counterparts.
Dave Bush's men are not in the best form in the league but have turned in some fantastic performances in this competition as they look to defend the trophy, beating Runcorn Albion 2-1 in last year's final.
In-form Robbie Hanley's goals fired Greenalls to the final. This will be his fourth final, winning the previous three and scoring eight times in the process.
Fife have their own lethal weapon in Danny Wilcock, who came off the bench to win the trophy with Greenalls last season. The forward's pace is always a threat.
Route to the final:
Round 1 Greenalls PSO 3-0 MG FC
Hurricanes Comecom 1-2 Fife Rangers
Round 2 Greenalls PSO 4-0 Haydock
Fife Rangers 2-0 Sidac
Round 3 Greenalls PSO 2-0 Billinge FC
Fife Ranger 5-1 Widnes Ball
Round 4 Beeches 1-2 Greenalls PSO
Grappenhall 1-3 Fife Rangers
Semi Final Greenalls 2-1 Eagle Sports
Grange 1-1 Fife Rangers (Fife win on pens)

CAMBRIDGE—— Judas 760 knew just where to swim last fall after federal trappers set him free: back to his home in the marshes of Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, where other nutria lived.
But true to his name, Judas betrayed members of his colony by providing a virtual road map through dense cattails and inky inlets via a tiny GPS unit on his back. Trappers followed and, in a scene played out with other Judases, exterminated a handful of the destructive rodents that have been responsible for denuding thousands of acres on the Eastern Shore.
U.S. Department of Agriculture and leader of the Chesapeake Bay Nutria Eradication Project, which has killed more than 13,000 nutria since 2002.
Acre by watery acre — 150,000 in all — trappers have reclaimed the wildlife refuge and private property in five counties, allowing the marshes to heal and once again become fertile sanctuaries for crabs, oysters and native wildlife. This fall, they have turned their attention to 350,000 acres of potential nutria habitat and places where nutria have been detected, such as the Wicomico River south of Salisbury and a peninsula in Somerset County.
While there is no way of knowing how many nutria remain, only how many are gone, the goal of the take-no-prisoners campaign is to make the Delmarva Peninsula nutria-free by the end of 2015. Now comes the really hard part.
"We're at a crossroads," said Jonathan McKnight, invasive species biologist for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. "It turns out that it was easy to kill 13,000 of them. It's much harder to finish the job, to find the small pockets. And given how quickly they reproduce, you can't kill all the nutria but two. You have to kill all the nutria."
But looking for a single animal or a pair of them is like trying to find a black cat on a moonless night.
"The enormity of the task hits you when you step out of your boat and see how much real estate is around you," Kendrot acknowledged.
Having nearly exhausted the possibilities of the traditional tools of trapping and shooting, scientists are embracing more modern technology — like the Judas experiment — to target the remaining animals, and concocting new scents to lure them to traps.
Orange-toothed and web-footed, nutria are an invasive species brought to the United States from South America by the fur industry in the late 1880s. Newspaper ads taken out by companies selling nutria touted pelts "next to mink" in softness and costing less than 2 cents a day to feed. But when the market collapsed in the 1940s, ranchers opened cage doors, unleashing the full force of a creature that breeds at a frightening rate and devours marshlands, leaving mud flats behind.
Nutria established colonies in 16 states, from Oregon's rivers to the Mississippi Delta. In Louisiana, what started as 20 animals in 1938 became 20 million animals two decades later. Nutria that were released or escaped from fur farms where Blackwater stands took refuge in the marshes and then expanded their range throughout the lower Eastern Shore and into Delaware and Virginia.
"They are baby-making machines," Kendrot said. "The adult females are pregnant 80 percent of their lives. They mate for life, just not with the same animal."
Aerial photographs taken at Blackwater during the last three decades show just how destructive the beaver-like creatures are. Vast tracts of vegetation, more than 5,000 acres in all, were rototilled and eaten by nutria, creating open expanses of water. Without plant roots, erosion continued unchecked, increasing the loss of wetlands and allowing sediment and contaminants to flow into the Chesapeake Bay.
An economic report by Southwick Associates, a Florida-based wildlife consulting firm, concluded that Blackwater nutria cost Maryland $4 million annually in commercial and recreational shell fishing and fishing opportunities, as well as hunting and trapping activities. Left unchecked, economic losses caused by nutria damage on the Eastern Shore would exceed $30 million annually by 2050.
"The costs of nutria removal are potentially minor compared to the costs to the state if the loss of marsh habitats continue unabated," the report concluded.
About 30 federal, state and private agencies pooled their resources in 2000 to form a management team. Congress provided a $1.5 million annual budget. After conducting an assessment, the Agriculture Department deployed 19 trappers at Blackwater to destroy nutria, grid by grid.
They killed 5,000 in 2003, then saw the number drop to 250 the next year and fall further in each subsequent year. So far this year, Blackwater has been nutria-free.
"Had we stopped after the third year, we'd be right back where we started," Kendrot said.
In 2007 and 2008, trappers moved to the Choptank River and Ellis Bay, then to Deal Island, where they killed 1,000 nutria. It is painstaking labor, with swarms of mosquitoes and armies of chiggers in summer and freezing water and mud in the winter. Every ribbon of water must be checked for signs of burrowing and muddy footprints.

Poetry Friday: Voices on the Air
For our new issue of PaperTigers, whose theme is Music in Children's Books, Argentinian Mexican poet, Jorge Luján has written a very special Personal View, "Voices on the Air: Writing Poetry and Songs for Children".
Here is an extract, in which he describes his relationship with poetry:
Poetry is a kind of vertigo for me. A challenge that frequently knocks me down, makes me feel trapped within my limits, and keeps me isolated from grace… but occasionally, drives me to horizons of astonishment, pleasure, and growth. I'm convinced that, if we are open to it, poetry can envelop us in a rare, subtle atmosphere. And poetry is not only to be found in poems, but is also present in the endless forms of nature or in the touching gestures, words and acts of people.
As a songwriter and a singer, I love the experience of the voice taking to the air like wings taking flight. Composing words and music together is a complex experience of joy and sorrow, but one which also implies building bridges between people.
I urge you to read the whole article. I found it very moving – and interesting too, for Jorge has introduced me to the work of some Latin American poets I'm slightly ashamed to admit I didn't know…
This week's Poetry Friday is hosted by Tricia at The Miss Rumphius Effect… Head on over!

A Capron couple who recently moved to Illinois from Indiana got a nice house warming gift.
Lisa and Jim Hensley bought a Halloween raffle ticket and won $1 million. They got the ticket at Snyder Pharmacy in Poplar Grove. The couple say they got some advice from family members on how to spend their new found wealth.
"My uncle is telling me we got to go out and spend it. and I'm like, I don't want to!" said Jim Hensley.
"You'd think we would go out and buy and brand new car and that's the last thing on our mind.
We're just kind of simple people."
The couple plan to buy a house, establish a college fund for their kids and share the money with their family.

A 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne's petition to reconsider a lower court's decision to toss out the conviction of Debra Milke.
Milke was convicted and sentenced to death in the 1989 killing of her 4-year-old son -- but her conviction was tossed out last month.
Prosecutors failed to disclose the lead detective, who claimed he obtained a confession from Milke, had past misconduct issues.
Attorney General Horne says he will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

witch carb is better
I need to get a new carb for my cub the one I have is warped bad and leaks gas all over the place.I took it to a guy that rebuilds them twice and no luck.So I was wondering out of the 2 types (IH or ZENITH)what one is better AND WHY???????
It's really a matter of personal preference. Of course, the original IH carb is no longer available so that's a moot point. A reproduction of the IH carb is available and early reports are positive. You will find members of this forum who adamantly prefer both brands.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
I am using 2 of the new IH style carbs that I bought from TM tractor. Just bolted them on and put the tractors to work. They work great. Your old carb could most likely be sraightened and repaired, I have done at least 6 myself, but those new ones are very nice.

I agree with Keith 110% on the IH carb and the replacement from TM
But I like the Zenith also

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely byJohn Emerich Edward Dalberg
If you change from the IH style to the Zenith, I believe there are issues to consider such as needing two intake manifolds to give clearance for the throttle butterfly and needing an adapter hose to mate the Zenith to the air cleaner. Neither is a deal-breaker for the Zenith, just some points to consider.
The four most expensive words in tractor restoration: "We might as well..."
where exactly is it still leaking? Is it still warped on the top half? Sounds like maybe the person didn't know how to fix them, they aren't that difficult to figure out. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll take a look at it and stick it on my straightening jig for you, or I have all the heli-coils if it's leaking someplace else.
I agree with Rick. Your carb guy isn't with the program or you have splits in the castings.

" We hang petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."
- Aesop
I assume you meant two manifold gaskets, not 2 manifolds. Also, neither of my cubs with the Zenith carb and original manifold required 2 gaskets.

Re: witch carb is better
I am by no means the guru for rebuilding carbs.. that would be the province of guys like Donny M, Don McCombs, Rick Prentice, George Willer and such.. HOWEVER, I have rebuilt a few and I know this much.. there are not that many that are impossible to fix unless they have been soaked in vinegar, or have chunks missing.
Warped Carbs are not that difficult.. even without the straightening jig.... How to Make an Updraft Carb Straightening Jig.. it isn't all that difficult to repair them with a file and the judicious use of a lapping plate and some clamps.
It appears that whoever is your carb expert, he is not all that well versed with the 3/4" updraft.
Take Rick up on his offer.. he will have it working properly lickety split.
I would buy a repro before I would go to a Zenith, but that is just me. Already did the Marvel Schleber route (a M-H Pony carb was on Granny).. and I much prefer the IH 3/4 to any other.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Yep.... vinegar can be bad.

RUN to Ricks offer! Am sure your carb is salvagable. If not, you gave it its' best chance.
An update on Mike's carb. I received the IH carb yesterday. I took it into the garage and started to dismantle it. I removed the 4 screws that hold the top to the bottom and slowly lifted off the top. It didn't take too long to discover one of the main problems. 1) the float was bound up and wasn't pivoting on the pin. It was stuck between the arms at about half way and real tight. Plus 2) one side of the float was caved in bad 3) the idle tube looked like it was cleaned up. I touched it and realized it would unscrew easy. Soon as it was removed I noticed the orfice was missing from the threaded end 4) None of the felts or retainers were replaced at the choke or throttle shafts, and Mike bought the expensive $55+ kit. 5) it still had the original weep hole felt and retainer, which was plugged solid. Mike stated gas poured out of the hose when removed from the carb. No wonder 6) the top was warped, as suspected, but I've seen worse. The new float and idle tube should be here hopefully tomorrow from TM. I'll take some side by side pics of the good verses bad parts for conparison.
That's it for now,
WOW! I wonder what the "carb guy" did to it ... TWICE? Mike, after Rick is done with it and actually rebuilds it properly, see what you think then!

Historical Importance of the St. Valentines Day Massacre: The St. Valentine's Day Massacre remains the most notorious gangster killing of the Prohibition era. The massacre made Al Capone a national celebrity as well as brought him the unwanted attention of the federal government.
Dates: 10:30 a.m. on February 14, 1929
The Dead: Frank Gusenberg, Pete Gusenberg, John May, Albert Weinshank, James Clark, Adam Heyer, and Dr. Reinhart Schwimmer
Overview of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre:
Rival Gangs
During the Prohibition era, gangsters ruled many of the large cities, becoming rich from owning speakeasies, breweries, brothels, and gambling joints. These gangsters would carve up a city between rival gangs, bribe local officials, and become local celebrities. By the late 1920s, Chicago was split between two rival gangs: one led by Al Capone and the other by George "Bugs" Moran. Capone and Moran vied for power, prestige, and money; plus, both tried for years to kill each other.
In early 1929, Al Capone was living in Miami with his family (to escape Chicago's brutal winter) when his associate Jack "Machine Gun" McGurn visited him. McGurn, who had recently survived an assassination attempt ordered by Moran, wanted to discuss the ongoing problem of Moran's gang. In an attempt to eliminate the Moran gang entirely, Capone agreed to fund an assassination attempt and McGurn was placed in charge of organizing it.
The Plan
McGurn planned carefully. He located the Moran gang's headquarters, which was in a large garage behind the offices of S.M.C. Cartage Company at 2122 North Clark Street. He selected gunmen from outside the Chicago area, to ensure that if there were any survivors, they would not be able to recognize the killers as part of Capone's gang. McGurn hired lookouts and set them up in an apartment near the garage. Also essential to the plan, McGurn acquired a stolen police car and two police uniforms.
Setting Up Moran
With the plan organized and the killers hired, it was time to set the trap. McGurn instructed a local booze hijacker to contact Moran on February 13. The hijacker was to tell Moran that he had obtained a shipment of Old Log Cabin whiskey (i.e. very good liquor) which he was willing to sell at the very reasonable price of $57 per case. Moran quickly agreed and told the hijacker to meet him at the garage at 10:30 the following morning.
The Ruse Worked
On the morning of February 14, 1929, the lookouts (Harry and Phil Keywell) were watching carefully as the Moran gang assembled at the garage. Around 10:30, the lookouts recognized a man heading to the garage as "Bugs" Moran. The lookouts told the gunmen; the gunmen climbed into the stolen police car.
When the stolen police car reached the garage, the four gunmen (Fred "Killer" Burke, John Scalise, Albert Anselmi, and Joseph Lolordo) jumped out. (Some reports say there were five gunmen.)
Opened Fire With Machine Guns
The gunmen then opened fire, using two Tommy guns, a sawed-off shotgun, and a .45. The killing was fast and bloody. Each of the seven victims received at least 15 bullets, mostly in the head and torso.
The gunmen then left the garage. As they exited, neighbors who had heard the rat-tat-tat of the submachine gun, looked out their windows and saw two (or three, depending on reports) policemen walking behind two men dressed in civilian clothes with their hands up.
The neighbors assumed that the police had staged a raid and were arresting two men. After the massacre was discovered, many continued to believe for several weeks that the police were responsible.
Moran Escaped Harm
Six of the victims died in the garage; Frank Gusenberg was taken to a hospital but died three hours later, refusing to name who was responsible.
Though the plan had been carefully crafted, one major problem occurred. The man that the lookouts had identified as Moran was really Albert Weinshank. "Bugs" Moran, the main target for the assassination, was arriving a couple minutes late to the 10:30 a.m. meeting when he noticed a police car outside the garage. Thinking it was a police raid, Moran stayed away from the building, unknowingly saving his life.
The Blonde Alibi
The massacre that took seven lives that St. Valentine's Day in 1929 made newspaper headlines across the country. The country was shocked at the brutality of the killings. Police tried desperately to determine who was responsible.
Al Capone had an air-tight alibi because he had been called in for questioning by the Dade County solicitor in Miami during the time of the massacre. "Machine Gun" McGurn had what became called a "blonde alibi" -- he had been at a hotel with his blonde girlfriend from 9 p.m. on February 13 through 3 p.m. on February 14. Fred Burke was arrested by police in March 1931 but was charged with the December 1929 murder of a police officer and sentenced to life in prison for that crime.
This was one of the first major crimes that the science of ballistics was used; however no one was ever tried or convicted for the murders of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Though the police never had enough evidence to convict Al Capone, the public knew he was responsible. In addition to making Capone a national celebrity, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre brought Capone to the attention of the federal government.

Gay is the new black... my opinion[I will be quoting older pieces I have written on gay rights within this piece as well, any piece quoted will say which piece it is from and the piece shall be linked in the Artist CommentsAs with many of my pieces, I enjoy, expect and welcome differences of views, but if you are just coming to say the gay agenda is equal to legalizing pedophilia, bestiality, etc. [which has happened on a few previous pieces by the same individual] then please spare me that nonsense and write your own piece where you can spread that ignorance that homosexuals are all pedophiles, and wish to corrupt your children etc..I am more than happy for comments from those who disagree, but please, and I truly ask you not to come here with the conspiratorial nonsense. If you disagree with gay marriage, GREAT!!! That is your right, if you do not think it should be legalized, GREAT
yet when you start then it is wrong because of the bible, as an atheist you must understand if I do
Atheist v. Xtian DebateThis all started two days ago when I was looking at youtube videos listening to several atheist comics and skeptics and such, and I just happen to go to a video of a guy who was unsure about religion or if he even believed in it but he figured he should choose.. my comment simply said something like if you want to join any religion, belief or lack there of (atheism) I would advise reading up on both of em, and determine which one most identifies with you and go that route be it religious or Atheist. Then some one commented on my comment like "GO RELIGIOUS atheism is nothing but a religion without the belief in god.." so I told him look up the definition of religion which is a belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe... so the next day (yesterday) I got this in a youtube message and here are the responses back and forth.. I have altered none of his words, what he said in its entirely is belowHis Original MessageI did l
Emanon's Rooseveltian Plan[Warning: you are about to read the ramblings in the social policy reform of a liberal, progressive, democratic socialist
so yes, a leftist by all accounts, I do not expect everyone to agree, and expect many to flat out oppose.. this is just speaking of my ideal but knowing the current state of partisan politics I do know much of this would be hard to pass]Run now, save yourself!!! Long winded leftist talking ahead
..Twenty year plan: Why? Because I believe it will take about 5 years for the renovations to even get done, plus 5 years of system turn around etc
I wrote this piece six years ago, and forgot about it to be honest but when going through my computer I found it and figure I would post it here, I revised some of the numbers for modern times, I expanded on some things but this is more of an overview to which an in-depth piece may be written on
When generally speaking of the current state of America we get the usual, oh Washington is too
God is Not an American ValueLadies and Gentlemen of Congress, thank you for allowing me to speak today.I do not stand before you with a hate filled heart.I do not stand before you today wishing to destroy anyone's beliefs or ways of life.I do not stand before you today hoping to achieve a victory for one group while hurting another.Instead, I stand before you today in the hope that you listen open-mindedly.That is all I ask.In 1956, "In God We Trust" was adopted as the United States official motto. This motto has been on our coins since 1864 and on our paper currency since 1957. In 1954, the words "Under God" where added to the Pledge of Allegiance. The question of whether or not these phrases are constitutional has been argued on all levels, from the dinner tables of average Americans, all the way up to the Supreme Court. I personally believe that these phrases are unconstitutional, but the arguments for it have been so overused that I feel repeating them would be beating a dead horse.No, instead I will b
You do not need "God" to be Moral."If you don't believe in God, then why believe in morality?" This question was once asked by a stampmaker who has since deactivated their account here on deviantART. To this person, it seemed that morality was something that required faith. Faith, in the sense of the word that the religious use in reference to their relationship with their particular god, and not in the other sense that is used when someone speaks of trust or confidence in someone or something, based off of previous experiences.I have always been of the opinion that we do not need god to be a good person. Some have asked me, where does the concept of good come from, but from God? It's an interesting and thought-provoking question. Where does the concept of good come from? Is it something that is learned? And if not learned, is it something that we are born with? I feel that the solution to these questions can be found by viewing our behavior in the same wa
Church Corruption ($11 million building?)Anyone that knows me here knows I'm pretty private and can be a little weird about my identity. I don't share very much personal information, I enjoy a certain amount of anonymity on the internet. But I'm about to share some things that are very personal, I hope that in itself shows how important I think this issue is.As much as it may shock some people, I have stated before and am pretty open about the fact that I was once a devoted Christian. At a certain point of my life, I was even pretty radical and possibly a little fundamentalist, I was a 6 day creationist and bible literalist. However, I was always more concerned with Christian ideas of charity, caring for the poor, homeless, widows, and less fortunate. I saw Jesus as a pacifist, not a warmonger, and I put more stock in verses like "love thy neighbor" and "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven" than
Yahweh (God) is IllogicalWhile believing in "a" god or gods can possibly be argued with a small degree of logic, it's extremely illogical to believe in the specific god Yahweh - the obviously humanly flawed selfish, jealous, greedy, hateful deity of the bible whose actions and orders fit the description of any religion's main villain, much too tiny and petty to explain the beauty and vastness of this universe.Any "all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful" god who has ordered even one human to kill another human, EVER, is a FALSE god (not to mention the hundreds of thousands of children and women yahweh has ordered exterminated, or taken as slaves... the Good god, everybody!)EVEN just once!Or any infinitely loving god who can allow the existence of a place like hell (without becoming so extremely disgusted with himself at even contemplating the idea that he just snaps it out of existence in the very next thought), just proves itself to be a creation based on the umrealistic needs and desires of humanity during
Atheist leftist answers your questions...What is an ideal, it is based on the battling cousins of idealism and pragmatism, or their bastard stepchild of realism? Is it based solely on the moronic wants of absolute authority, or the hardships of liberty and a respect for even that which you may oppose on a moral level? If liberty were predicated on a premise of freedom only for those who are like you then that would not be liberty at all. That would at its very base be tyranny, the wishing to dominate, oppress and decimate any who does not fit your simple idea of deserving of said freedom.I was asked a questions regarding some of my atheist pieces, some of my socialism pieces and some of my liberties for homosexual pieces, in this piece I shall address the few questions that I have received and shall say now that any and all writing in this, regarding the answers are speaking only from my perspective and I do not speak for all atheist, all leftists and so on.To get this out of the way, if you have read my previous pieces you

Said the actress to the bishop From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "That's what she said" redirects here. For the EP by The Friday Night Boys, see That's What She Said (EP). For the song by The Automatic, see That's What She Said (song). For the 2012 film, seeThat's What She Said (film).
"Said the actress to the bishop", is an informal (and usually vulgar) exclamation, said for humour in the form of a punch line after an inadvertent double entendre. The equivalent phrase in North America is "that's what she said".[1][2] Both phrases are examples of Wellerisms, a literal "turn" of a phrase, changing its meaning. The versatility of the phrase and its popularity lead some to consider it a cliché.[3]
On occasion, the gender may be swapped, as in "said the bishop to the actress", or "that's what he said".[4]
[edit]History and background
[edit]"Said the actress to the bishop"
The term, or its variant "as the actress said to the bishop", may have been used as far back as Edwardian times, and is apparently British in origin.[4][5]
The phrase is frequently used by the fictional character Simon Templar (alias "The Saint") in a long-running series of mystery books by Leslie Charteris. The phrase first appears in the inaugural Saint novel Meet the Tiger, published in 1928.[1]
The phrase "as the girl said to the soldier" is recorded in a sound test for Alfred Hitchcock's 1929 film Blackmail.[6]
[edit]"That's what she said"
By 1973, "that's what she said" had already been characterized as an "ancient one-liner";[7] it was popularized as a recurring joke in the Saturday Night Live sketch Wayne's World. In the movie of the same name, the eponymous character, Wayne, uses the phrase after his partner Garth says, "Are you finished yet? I'm getting tired of holding this" in regard to a picture he is holding.[2]
In the original BBC version of The Office, Ricky Gervais's character David Brent frequently used the phrase "as the actress said to the bishop" as an inappropriate joke. When the show was adapted for American audiences, the phrase was translated to "that's what she said" for Steve Carell's character Michael Scott. "That's what she said" became a catchphrase of The Office and was used for the show's "That's What She Said" Sweepstakes.[8]

Tommy Tuberville business associate pleads guilty to investment fraud in Alabama
Federal lawsuit still pending against UC coach
CINCINNATI - A former business partner of University of Cincinnati Coach Tommy Tuberville pleaded guilty in Alabama Friday to one count of investment fraud, as part of a plea deal in which in which John David Stroud agreed to repay a dozen investors $2.1 million.
Tuberville is among the investors entitled to restitution, said Vic Haslip, a Birmingham attorney who represents the UC football coach.
The Alabama Securities Commission announced the guilty plea in a press release. It said Stroud collected $5.2 million from investors, telling them he would use the money to trade in commodity futures and foreign exchange currency contracts.
"While some investor funds were used to purchase a limited amount of commodities, they were primarily used for unauthorized business and personal expenses, and to pay returns to other investors. Stroud's activities ultimately defrauded investors of approximately $2.1 million," said the press release.
Stroud was an Auburn businessman whose investment affiliates included three companies co-founded by Tuberville, according to a federal lawsuit filed against both men in 2012. The lawsuit alleged Tuberville "identified and solicited investors" for Stroud and provided "strategic direction and guidance" to the fund they operated as TS Capital Management.
Tuberville could not be reached for comment. He has denied any involvement in the alleged fraud, claiming he, too, was a victim of Stroud, a money manager he met while coaching at Auburn University.
Tuberville's attorney, Vic Haslip, said Stroud's indictment names the coach, along with several of the plaintiffs now suing Tuberville, as victims who are entitled to restitution. Tuberville has stated in an affidavit that he is owed $450,000. Stroud has refused to testify in the civil case because of the pending criminal charges. But Haslip said Stroud's admission of guilt is "consistent with what we've contended all along," that Tuberville is a victim of fraud, and therefore not liable.
The civil securities trial was initially scheduled for trial this month. But it has since been delayed until October. Stroud is scheduled for sentencing November 10 in Lee County Circuit Court in Montgomery, Ala. Prosecutors are recommending a 10-year sentence.

Ketil Bjørnstad's work continues to gather momentum on two fronts. Each of his ECM recordings has been widely-praised in the press, with the recent "Remembrance" album described by Germany's Jazzpodium as "klang- und formschöne Jazz-Kammermusik", and by the UK's Daily Express as "exquisite, intriguing and, in its quiet way, life-affirming." As a novelist Bjørnstad is also making headlines. His book "To Music" won the "Prix des Lecteurs" award in France, shot into the best-seller lists in Germany, and was nominated for The Independent's Foreign Fiction Prize in the UK. The prolific author, internationally translated, now rivals the prolific musician for attention and resonance. And where once Bjørnstad kept the disciplines separate, narratives are becoming interwoven and interrelated. In his liner notes for "Night Song" he references his novel "The River" (in Norwegian, "Elven") and its central character Aksel Vinding, who shares his creator's musical obsessions. As roles blur into each other, it becomes harder to say with certainty whether Bjørnstad is an author who plays music or a musician who also writes.
Svaente Henryson's classical credentials include four years as bassist with the Oslo Philharmonic and two years as principal bassist with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra.

Not once but twice in the last six weeks someone looking to cash in, cut the copper wires outside the Cleveland Animal Protective League.
The employees and volunteers had no way to take care of the animals for several hours.
"They're coming in when there's nobody in the area and taking off the copper wire off the utility pole," says Sharon Harvey of the Cleveland APL.
Monday the utility pole outside the building on Willey Avenue was duct taped together.
Crews made the repairs on Tuesday. It cost Cleveland Power $5,000 to fix the problem twice. The APL lost money because they couldn't open for several hours.
"It means we have to close down the shelter. Worst of all it's a critical animal care issue especially when the temperatures are like this," says Harvey.
Councilman Brian Cummins says even with laws in place that require scrap metal dealers to follow strict rules, some places decide to look the other way. The thief in this copper stealing case risked his life for a few hundred bucks.
"Clearly it's extremely frustrating and it's dangerous, and frankly the people in the neighborhood are fed up with it," Councilman Brian Cummins said.
Councilman Cummins says he's working with police to try to increase patrols in the area. The APL staff tell us they are hoping to get surveillance cameras to keep a better eye on the building.

A bunch of you guys seemed to be down with the idea of a BE only MMA Playground picks game, so let's make it happen. Instead of being constricted by 10 players only being allowed in, minimum post counts, specious exclusions under grounds of "no staff allowed" or other such ridiculous rules that reek of velvet rope front door policies, let's just do our own thing. Instead of being every man for himself, like in the BE Camp, we'll break up the interested participants into teams and battle it out amongst each other.
Here's how we'll start it: if you're interested in playing, say so in the comments. EVERYONE (noobs, lurkers, staff) who is interested is in (except for maybe Studio 54 doorman MostDiabolicalHater). In order to play, if you're not a member already, you'll need to go to mmaplayground.com, create a username as close to your BE name as possible and join the "BloodyElbow.com fight camp."
Based on how many people express interest, we'll then come up with a determination of how many teams and how many players per team. Someone mentioned a draft- which could be great or terrible depending on your perspective, voice your view on this in the poll and comments. One thing I will say about that, is that I don't want to have to pore over members and pick teams, so I think that naming captains and then doing a schoolyard pick at a determined date/time would be best, but if anyone has any better ideas please mention them in the comments.
Fair Warning Disclaimer: If you doubt AT ALL your ability to get picks in on time, then don't even bother joining. There is no excuse to EVER miss a pick. You can make your picks months in advance, so if you know that life is about to get busy, make picks far in advance. If you miss picks for an event, you will be kicked out immediately (on top of feeling terrible because you fucked your team over for that event). So as to not punish your team indefinitely based on your own sucking at life, another member will then be selected to replace you and all of your comments on the site will be shunned! OK, maybe that's a bit harsh, but you'll definitely be out of the comp.
So, that's basically it for now. The first event is going to be Battle on the Bayou on Saturday, September 17th, so I'll give everyone until this Friday to enter, as it's going to take some time to sort everything out. So to reiterate- everyone who responds by this Friday, September 9th at 4:00 pm is in.

[dropcap]P[/dropcap]ersona Non Grata, it is a greek band formed at the beginning of the 2003, by John Ioannidis (keyboards) and Chris Gatsos (guitars).
Mixing the sound of the rock that John adored to play, with the metal that Chris developed, they gave with a great progressive metal sound.
During almost two years, PNG dedicated their time in writing the music for their album premiere "Shade In The Light", it was for this time that Bill Axiotis unites to the band like vocalist and they began the recording of this first album. Then asked as session musicians Akis Gavalas (drums) and Chris Vogiatzis (bass), to help to the recording of this work, but when having so much chemistry during the recording, they decided to stay permanently and they completed the lineup Persona Non Grata.
In November of 2009 Bill decides to retire of the band and in their substitution, join Aris Pirris who apart from its great voice, he demonstrated to have great disposition and effort, giving to the band that stimulus that him toward lack.
In the 2010, after their tours, they returned to the recording studio, to begin the recordings of their following production "Quantum Leap".
The lineup has another modification with Apostolis Kaltsas who took Chris Vogiatzis' place in the bass and he also record in the new album.
"Quantum Leap", is a sample of progressive metal of great level, if you are fan of bands like Dream Theater or Symphony X this work you will love.

Cross-posting a portion of a post I wrote at Very Like A Whale on Maya Angelou. I wrote in part:
As for Angelou's poems, they did not work at all well on the page for me. The tradecraft was less noteworthy and I found her work lacked subtlety – was indeed often fairly raw, heavy-handed and sometimes even clunky. It's easy to see where her considerable reputation comes from, though, if you do an internet search for her reciting her own work… She has a great, super-sensitive relationship with her words, a terrific voice and amazing delivery, which make her poems-as-voice much more formidable than her poems-as-text.
There aren't that many recordings of her reading her own work online, but here are two videos that really do showcase her amazing delivery:
