The Problem with Startitis
Hi, my name is Abby, and I'm addicted to starting new projects.
They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right? Well, I have a problem with starting projects but never finishing them. My house is littered with unfinished projects. I keep needing to find new project bags to hold the projects I'm not finishing. Some are in time out while they think about what they've done wrong (I'm looking at you, Wool Eater Blanket), or because I'm hesitant about continuing after making a modification to the pattern (yes you, Longitudinal Socks), or even because the yarn is bleeding on my hands while I knit (that would be you, Pan Am Jacket). There's also the spinning that's been in a bag for over a year because… well, because. Or the other socks that are sitting unfinished because I just know that they're a little too big (and then I'll insist on machine washing and drying them and they'll shrink down which will solve the problem). Or the giant shawl that will take me years to finish, so why rush. And that's just the fiber projects.
Last night I was venting to the husband person about feeling a bit lost at the moment, and he called me out on my startitis. He also issued a challenge: finish some of the projects that are already in progress before starting anything new.
So that is my new goal. I will (finally) finish projects that I have tucked into the odd corners of my house. And to hold myself accountable, I will document them as I finish (or as I make significant progress). And hopefully, this will help me in other areas of my life as well, where I have other unfinished projects.
Going Old School
I think I've been spending too much time on Pinterest lately, because yesterday I pulled out my embroidery floss to make friendship bracelets. Yes, friendship bracelets. The kind I used to make back in intermediate school, especially when I was daydreaming in my gifted class. Yup, I was that kid. Fortunately, the technique was easy to pick back up again. Then I got a little bored, so my conveniently Steelers-colored one is still unfinished. Maybe I'll finish it today.
I made some others, too:
Warm weather photo ops
Now that the weather is finally warming up, I can start to lay my knitting out on the back porch to dry.
This is my first complete Tunisian crochet project. The yarn is Knit Picks Bare Fingering. Stroll maybe? I don't remember, to be completely honest. It's fingering weight. I dyed it myself. I'm still not sure what I'm doing with the finished product. There's a decent chance I may give it to a friend.
I also finished the Scarf of Emotional Trauma at the Hands of British Television. (It was originally called the TV Watching Scarf, but this name is so much more descriptive.) This the scarf I worked on while watching Sherlock Series 3 and Downton Abbey Series 4. At Zack's suggestion, I will be giving it to his aunt later today. I can only hope that the angst came out in the wool soak this morning. It was a lavender soak, so that should help right? (Seriously, Downton series 4 was a bit traumatic for me – I really hate the idea of giving bad energy to anyone.)
The thing that gets me about this yarn is how shiny it is. To the point that I can't get a decent photo that accurately shows the colors. It's crazy. The yarn is Wollmeise Sockenwolle 80/20 Twin. A grad school friend sold it to me my first year in the program. It's made a great scarf. The lace pattern definitely opened up with blocking. This is a pattern that I improvised. I'm thinking of knitting a second version then maybe farming out a test knit so I can publish it.
Happy early birthday to me
My birthday is a week away, and since I was in the vicinity of one of the few local yarn stores still doing business in my area, I decided to pop in and treat myself to some happy birthday yarn:
I decided on my way down that this year I would treat myself to some Malabrigo lace yarn, if there were a few hanks in stock. After circling the store a few times, I finally spotted the lace and sock weight yarn in the corner to the left of the register. Then I discovered the gorgeous blues pictured above. Unsure exactly of what I would make with this yarn, I decided the three hanks would be enough. It's not going to be enough for a massive lace shawl, but I've made more than enough of those to last me a while, so these hanks will probably be used to make either a rectangular or half-circle shawl. Something that I might actually use, since the large circular shawls don't seem to get that much love in my wardrobe. Now I just need to find the right pattern, although trolling Ravelry has given me a few leads (including one option in a magazine I already own).
The other hank, a Heritage Silk Paints, I just had to buy because it's in Ohio State colors. That will probably find its way into a scarf for my sister.
Not quite what I had in mind, but it works
When I bought my tablet, my hope was that I would be able to use it for work purposes and maybe not have to drag my computer around so much. That has sort of been the case. But another use that I've found for it is that it enables me to access my knitting patterns much more easily, especially if I'm taking my knitting on the go. This is especially convenient if I'm using pdfs or knitty patterns that I don't want to have to print out. Or if I'm just being lazy. It's also very useful when I travel, because it keeps everything in place. I must say, it has proven to be an unexpected upside of splurging on my tablet.
Well, that went surprisingly quickly…
Over Thanksgiving weekend (during the OSU-Michigan game, to be precise), I cast on a shawl that I'd bought as a kit from Knit Picks a few months ago. The Tuscan Sunflower Shawl was a surprisingly quick knit, at least as far as shawls go for me. It took me less than four weeks to get it done. Of course, it was almost the only project that I worked on in those four weeks, which is a little unusual for me.
Here it is, just off the needles:
Weaving in the ends on twenty-four little petal points was annoying, not to mention a bit hard on my back. I had the shawl resting on my exercise ball while I picked up each petal to weave in the ends. Right now, it's soaking in the tub. The yellow yarn seems to be bleeding a bit, so I'll have to see how many rinses it takes to get it clear. Then I'll have to block it out. Considering I don't have many lace blocking tools "block aggressively" could be an interesting direction to follow.
Why Saturday Morning is Like a Hank of New Yarn
I love Saturday mornings, perhaps more than any other morning of the week. Mondays actually aren't so bad, at least not this semester. Mondays are a chance for me get a fresh start on the week, to tackle with enthusiasm all the things I need to get done to feel like a productive teacher and scholar. But Saturdays… Saturdays are better, because they're a chance to feed my creative side.
Saturday mornings are like a hank of new yarn, especially yarn that I haven't wound yet. It's all potential. It's the start of the weekend, when I've finally had enough sleep and wake up feeling refreshed, instead of with the knowledge that not only do I need to do everything on today's agenda, there's probably still one or two things left over from yesterday. Not on Saturdays. Saturdays I try to carve out time for me, to indulge in whatever whim takes me. Not unlike the potential of a hank of yarn. New yarn, with no project attachments, represents all the promise of knitting. It could be a scarf, or socks, or my next overwhelmingly large lace shawl. It could be a present, or it could be for me. New yarn can be anything, just like Saturday. It could be an adventure, or I could spend my time lounging on the couch mainlining Sherlock.
Of course this feeling of promise is ultimately limited, just like the yarn promise. Once we get to about two o'clock, it's clear what my weekend will be. Once I've wound the yarn, I usually have a project or two in mind. And heaven forbid I have to try two or three (or more) times to get the right project for the yarn – that completely spoils the promise. But for that brief amount of time, when Saturday is all promise, before I settle in to whatever I'm doing… well that feeling is just wonderful. And it comes back every week.

Cee Lo Green is no longer living The Good Life on TBS.
The network axed this reality show - which aired six episodes this summer, chronicling Green's reunion with hip hop group Goodie Mob - on Tuesday, just hours after Green pleaded no contest to ecstasy possession and then got into a Twitter debate about allegations that he drugged and raped a woman in 2012.
At one point in that debate, Green made the assertion that one cannot be raped if one is not conscious. Really. He said this.
"People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!" Green wrote. "If someone is passed out they're not even WITH you consciously! so WITH Implies consent."

Good dressing

This has nice spicy taste (even kids enjoy this). Price is pretty good too. With "open" bottle it's hard to add smaller amounts of this dressing. But that is just a minor downside. I'm surely gonna test other dressings too. :)

STARR COUNTY - The Sheriff's Office in Starr County is investigating a case of alleged sexual assault, inside a Border Patrol facility.
Information is limited because this case involves two juveniles. We do know the victim and alleged suspect were both illegal immigrants being held for processing.
The Starr County Sheriff's Office says the alleged incident happened inside the holding facility at the Rio Grande City Border Patrol station.
They say both illegal immigrants were juvenile boys.
The victim made the outcry after being transferred to a facility north of Texas. Officials there notified Border Patrol, who filed the report with the sheriff's office.
Investigators say both the victim and alleged suspect are in the country, but no longer at the Rio Grande City station.
The sheriff's office was unable to speak with CHANNEL 5 NEWS on camera.
Border Patrol officials declined to comment, saying they are working to get information on the case.


text: by Jomiku "And until Maastricht, you couldn't become a citizen of say Germany because you remained a Turk even if you were 3rd generation born in Germany, a concept utterly alien to America." This is absolutely true, say I, an Irish-German-Scots-Irish-English 100% American. Another point of incomprehension is that [unlike Europe where constitutional matters are not trusted to the people] Americans really believe in and practice democracy [which means rule by the people, ask a Greek]. California could even be regarded as taking this to an illogical and destructive extreme. Never-the-less I would not willingly see any state deprive it's citizens to the absolute right to control their government. Denying the people's right to referenda is undemocratic and portends worse to come.

Computer keeps lagging/freezing every few seconds.
My problem is that my computer keep lagging every few seconds, the video (entire display, including mouse) freezes and audio buzzes.
I can go for a while without anything going wrong on my computer, but once it starts to lag, it happens for about 10 seconds on and off.
This happens almost randomly, the freeze is about a half a second and happens one after the other.
I have looked at many different articles describing problems similar, but all of them are talking about, just a video lag, or just an audio, etc. None of those solution have helped me.
At first I thought it might be my ram, maybe it was faulty, but i have switched the two 4gb sticks around and tested both so I know its not the ram.
So that leaves, Processor, Mobo, and Graphics card.
I built this computer completely by myself and it was my first build. I had a lot of issues building it and I could have messed something up. I have warrantys on all three components so I can bring any of them in, I just dont want to waste my time, or theirs by replacing something that doesnt have a problem.
Could anyone shed some light at all on what might be the problem?

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64 (Windows 10, 8.1, Linux Mint, Windows XP and others in VM)
Well, the bad news is that it could be anything from the problems you mentioned to the PSU or OS files. Try the simple test first. Open an elevated command prompt (click start, type cmd in the search bar, right click on the entry that appears and select run as administrator. ) Provide admin permission and copy/paste sfc /scannow in the window and press enter. It will take just a few minutes. It will check system files and attempt to correct any that are wrong. Next test the ram with memtest86 for 7 passes (best to check overnight), the CPU is possible but not likely. You can test it with Prime95 watch that test very closely with a good temp monitorting program like core temp. You can use Furmark to test your GPU, watch the temps on that also. Also, please completely fill out your system specs. The computer listed in your system specs looks to be a laptop. I don't think that is the computer in question. It would help us to know the hardware you have. What size, brand of PSU do you have?
|My System Specs
|28 Aug 2012
Thanks alot for the reply, I will try all of those things.
Here are my specs:
-Processor: i7 2600K
-Mobo: GIGABYTE Z68X-UD3H-B3
-GPU: MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II
-PSU: PC Power and Cooling Silencer 760W
I know that my PSU is fine to run everything else I have, My computer isnt too demanding and I was told 760 would be more than enough. I had an issue with core temps a while back but I installed a new heatsink and they tend to stay relatively low. But I will run a few of those diagnostics and see how everything pans out.
|My System Specs
|29 Aug 2012
I will work on filling out my new specs because this is now my main computer.
I did every test you mentioned, but nothing trigged the issue. even at max processing or graphics processing my computer didnt act up. So most likely it isnt the processor or GPU.
I ran memtest last night and it went through 11 passes with 0 errors.
I ran an elevated command prompt and scanned my OS files but all it did was remove my Theme that I had installed .
My only conclusion is that its the motherboard. But Im still really not sure.
I havent had anything happen since ive turned my computer on about a half hour ago, but my guess is that it will start happening again in an hour or so.

The strategy that is supposed to cement its future is hurting its performance today.
The strategy that is supposed to cement its future is hurting its performance today
As you drive on the flyover to the sprawling Electronic City from Bangalore, you can't miss the shiny, glass buildings on the Infosys campus. One is a pyramid, another looks like the bow of a ship and yet another has a big hole right in the middle.
What lies inside this building, which goes by the number 44, holds a key to the future of the 32-year-old software company. Inside, Infosys Experience Centre showcases a range of new products that its engineers developed in the last few years, some of them a direct outcome of its Infosys 3.0 strategy.
Infosys stock price
On November 28, 2014, Infosys closed at Rs 4359.25, down Rs 7.65, or 0.18 percent. The 52-week high of the share was Rs 4399.00 and the 52-week low was Rs 2894.00.
The company's trailing 12-month (TTM) EPS was at Rs 203.80 per share as per the quarter ended June 2014. The stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was 21.39. The latest book value of the company is Rs 733.03 per share. At current value, the price-to-book value of the company is 5.95.

Gabriel Aubrey – the model ex of Halle Berry - has filed for joint custody of two-and-a-half-year-old Nahla, his daughter with the actress.
In documents dated December 30, the Canadian model states that he and the star had already signed documents establishing Nahla's paternity.
Now, he wants a court to recognise that he will share joint physical and legal custody of their daughter.
The couple welcomed the little girl in 2008 after dating for two years. They called time on their relationship last April.

A lot of wrestling fans were pleasantly surprised to see Kevin Nash making an appearance in the first Magic Mike movie, which surpassed a lot of expectations by becoming a worldwide hit. They're going to be even more surprised when they see Ric Flair in the movie. During a recent podcast interview with Steve Austin, the former WWE champion revealed that he just completed some scenes for the film.
October 31, 2014
As many already know, Randy Orton is being given time off by WWE to prevent him from being burnt out on the road. The former world heavyweight champion isn't just going to sit around idly during that time, however. Orton has been cast as the lead role in the upcoming Condemned 2 movie, which is a sequel to the film that starred Steve Austin.
October 27, 2014
Fans celebrated in glee recently when it appeared that Steve Austin was going to be making a return to WWE. However, there should be some caution mixed in with that excitement. Austin has long stated that he would only do it if the deal was right. Management seems to be focused on Sting and Hulk Hogan at the moment, so negotiations with Austin have not made any progress.
October 11, 2014
A lot of buzz was created recently when Steve Austin mentioned that he was training for a comeback with WWE. Jim Ross, who happens to be very close friends with Austin, decided to douse some water on those rumors. The legendary commentator stated that Austin might not necessarily be in shape enough to work Wrestlemania 31. He also stated that there is a chance that Austin does not wrestle at all.
October 7, 2014
With fans clamoring for his return for much of the past decade, Steve Austin has finally provided some concrete news on a potential comeback to WWE. The former world heavyweight champion casually mentioned that he was training for a potential comeback during an interview on his podcast show. Nothing is set in stone right now, and a lot will depend on how Austin's body holds up during the training.
October 5, 2014
Some heavy speculations have arisen this week on the possible return of Steve Austin to WWE. Reports have surfaced that management has informed manufacturers to go heavy on products related to Stone Cold and informed distributors to prepare for a boost in merchandise coming through. No word yet on what Austin will be doing when he comes back, but there is a chance that it could just be a brief appearance.
September 26, 2014
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Rumors have persisted for quite some time now that there is still backstage heat towards Jim Ross in WWE. There is some new evidence to support that claim. Ross recently revealed that the company has not approved any of their performers to be a guest on his podcast show, where Steve Austin and Chris Jericho have had plenty of WWE personnel, including Triple H himself, doing interviews for them.
September 1, 2014
There's been another casualty in WWE, thanks to the company losing millions of dollars this year. Tough Enough has been taken off of life support and has now been officially scrapped. Management was hoping to do another season of the show, and they were still trying to get Steve Austin to jump back on board. However, after severely reducing the available budget for Tough Enough, officials decided that it would not work out with the limited amount of funding.
August 28, 2014
Life after professional wrestling continues to be great for Steve Austin. He recently revealed that the studios have renewed Redneck Island for a fourth season and have decided to give the Broken Skull Challenge a second one. These deals give him a bit of leverage in negotiations with WWE, who still want him to return for another season of Tough Enough.
August 26, 2014
Expect to hear plenty of comparisons between Dean Ambrose and Steve Austin over the next couple of months. WWE is having the former Shield member take elements of the Austin character in an attempt to win over even more fans. While it was not shown on Monday Night Raw, the company is doing a story where Ambrose refused medical attention after being severely injured by Kane and Seth Rollins.
August 21, 2014
There's a little battle brewing right now between two of the greatest WWE stars of all time. Recently, Steve Austin stated that he was the best draw that the business has ever seen. When asked about the statement, Hulk Hogan argued that he was the best by stating that his career was twice as long as the one Austin had. This does not appear to be a promotional thing since the two of them will not be doing a match together.
August 15, 2014
Earlier in the month, Steve Austin made a comment about WWE being too scripted for his taste. While those comments would surely bring backstage heat on one of their mid card performers, it is being said that there is absolutely no heat towards Austin, as management knows that they might need him for business down the line.
July 28, 2014
"I disagree with scripting. I think the nature of a promo has to come from your heart and your guts and you have to mean everything that you're saying. Now is the perfect time to go back to that formula. You learn to sink or swim. And guys and gals will start to learn to swim again. That's what's going to make the product feel more organic, more spontaneous and more real." - Steve Austin talks about WWE being too scripted
July 7, 2014
During a recent podcast interview between Steve Austin and Vince Russo, the topic of the Montreal Screwjob came up. Russo gave specific details about what went down between Vince McMahon, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Austin then finished the discussion by stating that he had no prior knowledge of the incident going down, but that he thinks the decision by McMahon and Russo was the right one. The business had to be protected from Hart and Eric Bischoff.
July 3, 2014
During his latest podcast interview, Steve Austin interviewed Vince Russo, and the topic of Austin's early stint in WWE came up. Both revealed to fans that Vince McMahon was not a huge fan of Austin at the time. He also did not want Austin to talk whatsoever because McMahon felt that his microphone skills were not up to par. Russo, however, pushed to give Austin an opportunity to speak, and the legendary push ensued.
June 28, 2014
"Obviously this is going to be a big financial changer because you're not going to get all those buy rates. I've had a brief experience with the WWE Network. I signed up for it. I'm not a real gadget guy. I've had an iPad for damn near two years, but I hardly ever use it. I put the WWE Network on there, and I typed in certain matches, they didn't have certain things from NWA or WCW. So I've been going more to YouTube. I think they need a little bit more original content. I need to get on there more to familiarize myself with it. One of the things I've enjoyed is the old Garden stuff and from World Class (Championship Wrestling). I think it was smart to come out with the network. I think it's going to catch on more in the next two or three years, and that's when it will pay off." - Steve Austin shares his views on the WWE Network
June 27, 2014
When CM Punk decided to walk out on WWE, a lot of fans turned on him for that. However, he has had a couple of supporters, especially from those that know what it is like to be backstage in the company. Steve Austin has continuously defended Punk, citing his understanding of how difficult life can be backstage when you're not happy with the direction of the company.
June 11, 2014
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Jim Ross had to spend a night in the hospital, as the former WWE commentator had a bit of a health scare and his wife wanted to be safer than sorry. Ross revealed that a couple of people contacted him at the hospital to check up on him. Jerry Lawler and Steve Austin were two of them. The other was Vince McMahon, which was a little bit surprising as there have been rumors floating around for the last year that there is some backstage heat between the two.
June 10, 2014
Country music singer George Strait held his last concert ever this weekend in Dallas, and drew in an incredible amount of people to the show. Among the 105,000 fans at the concert were Undertaker, Michelle McCool and Steve Austin. No word yet on whether or not the former WWE stars were at the event together or just happen to be there at the same time.

KINGS COUNTY, Calif. — The Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County recently bought 14,500 acres of farmland in Kings County where it plans to locate a new $120 million mega-composting project, Clovis Independent reported.
Up to 500,000 tons a year of treated human waste will be mixed with woody debris from area farming at the site to create compost, which will be used as soil nutrient to help grow cotton, wheat, pomegranates and other crops.
The project will be built in phases, the first of which will take about 100,000 tons of biosolids each year, according to Ajay Malik, supervising engineer.
"This is a top-notch, Cadillac system," said Malik.

Beauty Breakdown: All About BB, CC & DD Creams
Get all the details on BB, CC, and DD creams — and the best ones to buy of each!
By Diana Pearl
CC Creams
What is it? Packed to the gills with vitamins C and E, complexion corrector cream is similar to BB cream, but focuses on color correction.
What it does: Lighter than a BB cream, CC cream's primary purpose is to correct color-related skin issues, such as sallowness or redness. Like BB cream, it has SPF as well (number varies by brand).
How to use it: If you're acne-prone, have dull skin, dark spots or constant redness, CC cream is for you.
How it differs: Use CC cream to help with redness, acne, dark spots, sallowness and more. It's also lighter than BB cream!

Late toxicity results of the GORTEC 94-01 randomized trial comparing radiotherapy with concomitant radiochemotherapy for advanced-stage oropharynx carcinoma: comparison of LENT/SOMA, RTOG/EORTC, and NCI-CTC scoring systems. [2003.01.01]CONCLUSION: Concomitant radiochemotherapy increased overall survival and locoregional control rates. The difference between the two treatment groups for Grade 3-4 complications was only significant for the teeth. The late toxicity assessment of a treatment may depend on the toxicity scale used. The LENT/SOMA scale seems to be the most accurate scale, but most of the score results were not concordant with those obtained with other scales. The results of this study confirm the necessity of using a common late toxicity scale in clinical trials.
Prevention of Radiation Pneumonitis After Three-dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) in Patients With Non-small-cell Lung Cancer [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the interest of breath holding for the prevention
of radiation pneumonitis following conformal radiation therapy.
Eligible patients will be randomly assigned in a 2-arm trial to free breathing or breath
holding during conformal radiation.
The primary objective of the study is to establish the efficacy of breath holding, compared
to free breathing, in the prevention of early pulmonary toxicity following conformal
Several departments of radiotherapy, many pneumology units and two basic and applied
research laboratories take part in this multicentric study.
The number of patients required to demonstrate a reduction in radiation pneumonitis from 45
% to 22. 5 %, assuming an alpha risk of 5% in a two-sided test and 95% power, is 240 (120 per
arm). With a planned accrual of 7 patients per month, it is estimated that the inclusion
period should be approximately 3 years.
Interleukin-2 Treatment for Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome [Recruiting]
Context: Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a fatal, devastating disease with ill-defined
treatment modalities, which affects young boys. Classic WAS is characterized by a clinical
triad of thrombocytopenia, eczema and severe, recurrent infections. Despite diagnostic and
therapeutic advances most WAS patients die at less than 12 years of age due to infections,
hemorrhage, malignancy or complications from treatments. WAS patients suffer from
herpesvirus infections as a result of poor Natural Killer (NK) cell function (cytotoxicity).
In the laboratory, the investigators have seen correction of WAS Natural Killer Cell (NK)
function after treatment with Interleukin-2 (IL-2).
Objectives: Initiate a prospective clinical trial by treating WAS subjects with IL-2 and
using safety as the primary endpoint. Restoration of NK cell cytotoxicity and effects on
cytoskeletal dynamics are secondary endpoints. The investigators will also observe patient
clinical status (eczema, infections, use of treatment dose antibiotics, food allergies,
Study Design/Setting/Participants: This is a prospective clinical trial treating 9 WAS
subjects in the Clinical Translational Research Center (CTRC) with IL-2.
Intervention: The investigators propose to subcutaneously administer 0. 5 MU/m2 of IL-2 daily
to WAS subjects for 5 days. Research treatment will be repeated 2 and 4 months later.
Inter-patient dose escalation will be employed to 1 MU/m2 and/or 2 MU/m2 based on safety as
the primary endpoint.
Study Measures: The investigators will observe safety and tolerability measures and perform
assays on subject blood samples prior to and after research treatment to observe improvement
in NK cell function.
Parotid-Sparing Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Compared With Conventional Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Oropharyngeal or Hypopharyngeal Cancer Who Are at High Risk of Radiation-Induced Xerostomia [Active, not recruiting]
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy delivers thin beams of radiation of different strengths
directly to the tumor from many angles. This type of radiation therapy may reduce damage to
the parotid (salivary) glands, prevent xerostomia (dry mouth), and improve quality of life.
It is not yet known whether intensity-modulated radiation therapy is more effective than
conventional radiation therapy in preventing xerostomia and improving quality of life in
patients who have throat cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying intensity-modulated radiation therapy to
see how well it works compared to conventional radiation therapy in treating patients with
oropharyngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer who are at risk of developing xerostomia caused by
radiation therapy.
Trial of Combined Pentoxifylline-tocopherol-clodronate vs Placebo in Radiation-induced Brachial Plexopathy [Recruiting]
Radiation-induced brachial plexopathy (RIP) is a rare and severe delayed peripheral nerve
complication of radiotherapy, that is spontaneously irreversible with no medical treatment
to limit or reduce symptoms. The investigators planed in RIP a randomized double blind
clinical trial, using a pentoxifylline (P)- tocopherol (E)- clodronate combination versus
placebo, to assess a possible symptomatic regression by a sensory-motor neurological
quantifiable and reproducible score (modified Subjective Objective Medical management
Analytic, SOMA).
The investigators previously developed a successful PE treatment in symptomatic RI injuries
via the antioxidant pathway, in clinical phase II and III trails and experiments obtaining a
major significant radiation-induced fibrosis regression, then the PE clodronate combination
(PENTOCLO), obtaining a rapid and significant healing of mandible osteoradionecrosis and
significant neurological signs regression (- 35% modified SOMA score at 18 months) in 50
partial RIP.
The aim of this phase III randomized clinical trial is to show PENTOCLO efficiency and its
tolerance in long survival patients irradiated before for cancer and presenting with partial
RIP of upper or lower legs.
The investigators calculated to include 60 patients to show a significant clinical
difference between the two groups after 18 months of treatment: PENTOCLO[Pentoxifylline 400
(2x/d) + vitamine E 500 (2x/d) + intermittent Clodronate 800 (2/d, 5d/7)] versus triple
placebo, with prednisone 20 (2d/7) for all patients.
RIP is assessed before treatment and every 6 months by a standardized sensory-motor
neurological (SOMA 95 modified by NCI-CTC 99) score used for main criteria at M18, and
various neurological scales of assessment (Visual Analog Scale for pain / VAS for
paresthesia, Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory [NPSI], Overall Disability Sum Score [ODSS],
muscle testing, Nine hole peg test / Timed 25-Foot Walk), quality of life (SF36, Patient
Global Impression of Change and Clinical Global impression of Change [PGIC/ CGIC]) and
Trial of Safety Nets In Hospitalized Patients [Completed]
This study compared standard hospital restraints to a newer safety net restraint system to
compare them for acceptability, tolerance, duration of restrain, length of stay in the
hospital, and satisfaction of MD, nurse, and relatives of patients.

Devin Hester should get help from new receivers, offense
BY MARK POTASH firstname.lastname@example.com May 30, 2012 11:10PM
Bears Devin Hester (23) makes a run against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 16th. | Dan Luedert~Sun-Times Media

Updated: July 6, 2012 9:29AM
The only thing more misleading than a big play in an offseason practice might be Devin Hester making a big play in an offseason practice.
So take it for what it's worth that Hester made the play of the day at practice Wednesday at Halas Hall, reaching out to snare a downfield dart from Jay Cutler. After getting kudos from Cutler as ''the best receiver in camp'' last week, the hopes for Hester are higher than ever.
''I like to hear that,'' said Hester, who had 26 receptions for 369 yards and one touchdown in 2011. ''And that's my mentality every year, to be a top-notch receiver in this league. Regardless if it's a deep ball or catching hitches and making plays, that's my mentality.''
The additions of Brandon Marshall and rookie Alshon Jeffery are expected to make things easier for Hester. A simplified offense under Mike Tice also might be a factor.
''This offense is a lot easier, it's a lot simpler from previous years,'' Hester said. ''Alshon picked up the offense right away, so he's going to be a big weapon. We've got Brandon, who's going to go up and get those jump balls. This offense is going to be very explosive this year.''
Mannelly on target
Long snapper Pat Mannelly, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament last season, said he's on target to return at the start of training camp.
''I'm snapping and running, working on more directional running as far as cutting and stuff like that,'' Mannelly said. ''I can snap, set and get out of my breaks and block people. I'm just going to need more reps and more rehab of just getting more comfortable doing it and more strength.''
Conte confident
Free safety Chris Conte, who started nine games as a rookie in 2011 before suffering an ankle injury against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15, is participating in all workouts.
Conte figures to start, but he won't be handed the job. Brandon Hardin was drafted from Oregon State in the third round.
''[The competition is] there,'' Conte said. ''It's just going to bring the best out of all of us.''

Christian singer Michael W. Smith has announced the release of a Christmas album featuring some of country music's favorite singers.
Robin Williams' death is shocking and heartbreaking and touches us in a way usually reserved for close friends. Maybe that's because we're of a generation that grew up on Robin Williams. He's been making us laugh and cheering us up since we were kids; like a big-screen father figure. That he died suffering from severe depression, makes the news all the more tragic. As director Garry Marshall, who first cast Williams in 'Happy Days' and later 'Mork and Mindy,' said today, "He could make everybody happy but himself."
He made everyone happy and in that spirit, we'd like to celebrate his work, and we asked a few of our writers to look back at their favorite moments of his career.
LeBron James has long been compared to Michael Jordan as he's one of the most gifted players in basketball today.

Intraoperative blood salvage and autotransfusion are commonly used to minimize exposure to banked blood. Although this technique has been used widely for years, data vary regarding the quality of autotransfused blood. Salvaged blood may contain plasma, residual heparin, and free hemoglobin released from damaged cells. All of these factors may contribute to the adverse sequelae sometimes seen with autotransfusion. For these reasons, we have monitored autotransfused blood to assess its quality. Intraoperative blood salvage was used during most cardiac procedures and at the discretion of the surgeon in other specialties. Blood was collected through a double lumen catheter that was anticoagulated with heparin, filtered, centrifuged, and washed with saline. A sample of the blood was removed for analysis, which included hematocrit, heparin assay, fibrinogen, and free hemoglobin levels. Over a 6-year period, 1593 patients had intraoperative blood salvage with quality assessment. The majority of patients underwent cardiac operations (941 patients, 59%), whereas 243 had orthopedic (15%) and 208 had vascular (13%) procedures. Additionally, there were 127 pediatric patients (8%) and 74 miscellaneous procedures (5%). The highest average yield of salvaged blood was during vascular procedures (1073 +/- 76 mL), whereas orthopedic cases had the lowest yield (378 +/- 19 mL) and hematocrit (39%). There was minimal residual heparin activity, even in patients requiring systemic anticoagulation (0.3 to 0.5 units/mL). Patients undergoing pediatric procedures had the lowest concentration of free hemoglobin (476 mg/L), whereas all adult patients had higher free hemoglobin levels, especially vascular operations (990 mg/L). Intraoperative salvaged blood has minimal heparin activity, even in procedures requiring systemic anticoagulation. Fibrinogen, a marker of residual plasma, was undetectable in the majority of cases. These data indicate that intraoperative blood salvage generally results in a high-quality product (good hematocrit, low heparin, minimal plasma), although there are significant differences in free hemoglobin levels depending on the operative procedure.

Truthfully, though, I do not know what their relationship is like at all.
So to answer the original question: No, my ex has not married and is not living with the OW. My kids do not care for the OW and rarely spend time with her. I believe they think she is "ok" but just don't enjoy hanging out with her. They seem to be well adjusted, and I try to keep any bitterness or sadness I feel from affecting their relationship with their dad. He is very much a "Disney-Dad" but does keep up with his visitation and child support.
Above all, be the heroine, not the victim. - Nora Ephron
It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
- J. K. Rowling
I do think that the immaturity of the OW and NPD behaviors of poopsmear have done far more to contribute to their problems than simply the divorce did. Their loyalties were constantly vied for and mind games played.
I think they'd be better off if he had died.

Packaging International News - May 2012
Greenpeace Targets KFC in Campaign Against Rainforest Logging
Posted by Reg Janson - Packaging International Reporter on 24/05/2012 - 05:30:00
Greenpeace criticises KFC for destruction of the environment through the sourcing of its crispy chicken buckets from Asia Pulp and Paper (APP). Greenpeace stated in a recent report that APP obtains its timber from Indonesian rainforests, which play home to rare species such as the critically endangered Sumatran Tiger.
Rainforest-Originated Packaging
KFC has refuted the accusations against them, claiming that they do not buy their packaging from APP and that almost eighty percent of their paperboard and paper commodities are obtained from sustainable sources. However, Greenpeace claim to have found rainforest-originated packaging in Indonesia, China and the UK.
In May 2012, Asia Pulp and Paper pledged to safeguard forests with a fleet of reforms including the suspension, from June 2012, of its natural forest clearance activities in its Indonesian pulpwood plantations. Nevertheless, Greenpeace have responded that that the pledge allows rainforest clearance to continue until 2015. APP has previously made similar pledges to cease sourcing from natural forests in 2004, 2007 and 2009 - promises that they failed to deliver on.
Greenpeace have asked KFC's parent company, Yum! to cease trading with APP, following the example of other companies including Collins, Xerox and Danone who have pledged to reject the company over claims of illegal logging. Over 60 companies worldwide have moved against APP, either by terminating contracts or selling their shares.
Greenpeace's report states that "KFC and Yum! have done the least of any of the top fast food companies to rid their supply chain of rainforest destruction." However, Ken Wong, marketing professor at Queen's University comments "I don't suspect the typical KFC customer is a Greenpeace advocate, so I don't know that it will hurt sales."
Meanwhile, Asia Pulp & Paper have challenged Greenpeace's report, labelling it a "distortion of facts." They have asked Greenpeace to stop labelling Indonesian "companies as the villains in the fight against climate change" when the country is already working arduously to protect their rainforests.

Exercising outdoors can be fun and enjoyable, but you should keep personal safety in mind before you head out the door.
Knowing about common injuries and how to prevent them can keep you on track toward achieving your fitness goals.
Research suggests that a thin-soled sneaker—or no shoe at all—may give runners the best injury protection.
If you're not careful, you could wind up with a case of heat exhaustion just as easily as the couch potato next door, no matter how fit you might be.
Walking is easier on your joints, but jogging burns calories more quickly.
It may not be as trendy as Pilates or power yoga, but running still delivers a great fat-burning, stress-reducing aerobic workout.

JCK Editor
- Yes
The JCK Editor offers an elegant editing experience which is more familiar due to its office like interface yet configurable enough to be used for enterprise developments. It seeks to strike a balance between being feature rich, beautiful and easy-to-use.
Unique to any other editor's it comes packaged with a collection of beautifully designed typography and content snippets ready for you to use right out-of-the-box!
Most remarkably the JCK Editor is a free content editor for Joomla! It is free for you to use and install on any of your sites under the GPL licence! So why not take a few minutes to see this in action for yourself by checking out one of our demo's.
Note: the current version of Linkr (for anyone that uses this great tool) does not work with FCK with respect to adding links to images. This is a Linkr issue that the author knows about and is fixed in the next, forthcoming release.
Hi David, we would be delighted to have you give us 6 stars & give careful attention to our user's requests! We have had some internal discussion,it's firmly on our things to do! In fact the 'newsletters mode' evolved from a similar conversation with Acajoom team. This has materialised in the latest version 18.104.22.168 as the 1st & only editor to provide such a resolve. So hold on, we will get there! Thanks d:o)
But it seems to be have some kind of bug.
Because then i installed version 220.127.116.11 automatically with joomla it do not want to work, i got some error that some plugins was missing when i tried to edit my articles.
I has to installed manually (unzip files, transfer them to the server with ftp).
And now it works fine.
Hi beelzebubs, thanks 4 the vote! I'm pleased you found a positive resolve. Take care
Hi Gospodnetic, thank you for positive vote, for spreading the Word! I'm sure many JCE users will be interested by your review! Take care.
I like being able to switch skins since I use both Office 2007 & 2003.
I can EASILY resize FCKeditor to fit my website, the larger the better for accessibility!
File attachment is a much needed feature for me.
On my LOCAL Linux site I can't get Aspell working even though I have the most recent version of it.
I cannot even install FCK on my hosted site, I keep getting a server 2006 error, even though all server settings look fine. FCK is the ONLY plugin that will not install.
Hi Ripose, Thanks you for your kind review & are sorry to hear that Aspell doesn't seam to be working for you on your server. I know many users enjoy using it & recently learned that www.joomlawired.com offers Aspell with the JoomlaFCK editor to all their uses. - The only thing I can advise it that you take us up on one of our customer support plan & Andrew or I will look into it for you. Take care d:0)
Hi aussiemike, delighted to hear that and thank you for your kind contribution.
Have tried almost all editors but now I don´t have to search any more. JoomlaFCK are now free from the issues that have caused me trouble. Pictures couldn´t be seen or transfered to the server. Now that´s history. Thanks for a very good work. Now I don´t expect any more updates.
Hi bassman, thank you for your positive contribution. I know you have engaged with us on our forums and are delighted that we have found a positive resolve.
As you are an Acajoom fan we have some very good news for you! We have been working with team and have found a resolve that will automatically embed template styles into the newsletter article and take care of the compatibility with mail clients. I will email you when it release later today. Take care.
Perfect integration with the other plugins I use (Linkr for example) and with the css template from my template.
Great work!
Thanks for such a positive review! A great encouragement and i'm sure your review will be of interest to many users.
Been using this excellent editor on all my sites. Thanks again!
Thanks Abishai, pleased you like it! The folder idea is the brain child of our head developer, Andrew. I will let him know you like it!
I had one or two questions and the team were quick to respond to me. For the reasons stated and many others we currently offer this editor as the default editor in all of our Joomla installations.
Great work
Hi churchil, thanks you for your kind words, much appreciated!!!
Things I love:
- being able to link to a file
- having formmated code
- having Jlink :)
- relative paths works great
- right click on tables brings up great menu's (only works in IE7 and not FF3 in my experience)
- different skins are fun
- and many more things are great about this plugin.
Things to improve:
- When I do a Jlink, it would be real nice to see a list of articles in the format I see them on the admin side of joomla (title, author, section, category).
- Be able to remove some buttons that confuse users (the picture button for "input" looks just like the other picture button)
- When I click upload tab for images and files it automatically uploads to the root folder (very fustrating).
- files should not be in images folder ex. images/files/doc1.pdf . I should be able to specify a folder.
- after installing JoomlaFCK I no longer am able to use my default media editor.
Hi wingman011, thank you for your review & in depth analyst. We are committed to improving and always pay careful attention to our user's commentary.
The Good News: is that we are soon to release a component that will offer much of the flexibility requested and version 2.6.3 supports ability to change the location path of documents/ images/& Media files via the plug-in so I hope this comes as a welcomed relief to your frustration.(Please see: http://www.joomlafckeditor.com/support/tutorials/105-changing-the-location-path-of-the-flash-media-and-documents-files)Thanks d:0}
Thanks for taking the time to comment. You're a diamond!!!
Hi deck2deck, thank you for your positive contribution & we are delighted that you have found our work a welcomed relief. We are planning to launch 2 new components 1 of them will work in partnership with the latest version of the editor, so we will keep you posted.
Hi VTecheira, thanks for your encouragement. You comment finds the project in its most interesting season! Without saying to much version 2.6.3 is our biggest release because it architecture places an essential launch pad in the projects next evolutionary step forward. It's about to get even better!
Hi blaap, I've just searched through our forums & was unable to find any recently forums reported of the same! I did find your username & noticed that you have yet to post or report any bugs! If you do, we will of course look into it for you on Monday.
Hi caminkingston, thanks for your encouraging words and for speaking on behalf of us.
Now, with the ability to link in documents, PDFs, as well as their built in article linking - it puts it a league ahead of the Joomla system itself, as these are all things that really should be standard in Joomla.
5 stars to the developers here .. and keep up the good work!
Well this is officially the best review we have every had, ha ha! When you think about it, users spend more time interacting with their editor's interface that any other Joomla! extension. So it makes sense to place documents management tools at hands reach.
