Cryosurgery technique Tissue destruction by local application of a refrigerant offers clear advantages over other invasive methods. Its inherent anesthetic and haemostatic properties make it suitable for outpatient use. The tissue destruction is essentially well circumscribed, leaving a cryolesion characterized by healing without scarring and complications.
Distinct benefits to patients
- Cryo applications under local anesthesia.
- No scarring.
- No bleeding during and after the procedures.
- Palliation of painful neoplasms.
- Minimum pain controlled with non–narcotic analgesics.
- Well accepted by elderly and debilitated patients.
- No unpleasant odor of burning tissue.
- Excellent response, low costs, and minimum hospitalization requirements make cryotherapy a popular modality in ENT surgery.
- Crysurgery in Otorhinolaryngology.
Nasopharyngeal Rhabdomyosarcoma, a common soft tissue sarcoma in children, is a rare identity, so far only four–cases have been reported as per the review of literature. Ours is the fifth case presented exclusively in the nasopharnx, which is, hereby reported. The prognosis of this clinical entity is always gloomy and the modality of the treatment is always surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Case report
A 5 year old boy was referred to ENT department of K.E.M. hospital with the complaints of nasal obstruction, noisy breathing and mouth breathing for over four months. There was no history of bleeding from the nose or any other significant ENT problems. Clinical examination revealed both nostrils clear with no evidence of any nasal mass occluding the nasal passage. Airways were blocked. Posterior rhinoscopy revealed huge polypoidal and grape like mass arising from the nasopharynx and hanging in the oropharynx pushing the soft palate downward and forward. Palatal movements were normal and there was no neurological involvement. Rest of the ENT examination was insignificant. Rest of the ENT examination was insignificant. Routine hematological tests and urine exam was normal. X–ray nasopharynx and compromising the nasal airway. Provisional diagnosis of nasopharyngeal malignancy was made. CT scan could not be done because of poor economical status of the patient. He was advised surgery and was subjected to excision under G. A. with routine tonsillectomy position. With Boyle–Davis gag, mouth was opened and with adenoid curette the whole mass was curetted. Bleeding was not alarming and controlled with post nasal packing. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. The mass sent for histopathology revealed rhabdomyosarcoma. Patient was advised post–op radiation and chemotherapy. Post operative recovery was uneventful and his symptoms of mouth breathing noisy breathing and nasal obstruction was cleared.
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a highly malignant tumor of childhood arising from the rhabdomyosarcoma of mesenchymal connective tissue. It frequently involves the head and neck region as orbit, nasopharynx, cheek, external ear, maxilla, tonsillar area and soft palate.
The presentation in the nasopharynx is very rare. Only four cases so far have been reported in the literature. Ours is another rare case which exclusively presented in the nasopharynx.
The first mention of this pathological entity was made by Weber (1855), Mason and Soule (1956). The histological classification was made by Wills R. A. (1967). Histologically, the tumor is characterized by round or spindle cells with distinct granular vacuolated cyto plasm.
The Rhabdomyosarcomas can be divided into four subtypes
- Embryonal and embroyonal botryoid.
- Alveolar.
- Pleomorphic.
- Mixed.
The prognosis of rhabdomyosarcoma is very gloomy with less than 10% long time survival. The treatment modality adopted is a nutimodality therapy. This entails surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Rhabdomyosarcoma symptoms
* Rhabdomyosarcoma mostly leads to a conspicuous lumpy appearance on the body of the child.
* In case the tumor is internally situated, then the symptoms arising would be dependent on its site. For instance, tumors that develop in the nasal passage could exert strain on the Eustachian tubes; tumor arising in the orbit of the eyes known as orbital tumor could make the eyes appear protruding whereas a tumor located in the bladder could lead to difficulty in urination.
I felt pity when I read that this kind of condition has a prognosis of 10% only.
Management include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy..at an early age this kind of management may be a great interference for the growth of the child. And the prognosis is just only 10 %...!! Prevention and early detection of this condition can a great help to the child or to the patient.
My best friends 8 year old daughter very sadly passed away last May of nasophatyngeal rhabdomyosarcoma. She was misdiagnosed with various problems relating to her hearing, inability to swallow 5 times, and then her face become swollen on one side and one of her pupils stopped moving. They then detected a lemon sized tumour which was visible from looking up her nose.
She began an immediate course of radio and chemo therapies, however tests showed that due to how late the cancer was detected, it had spread to her chest, spine and lungs. She fought very very hard and remained strong until given the all clear, however, she was still suffering from immense back pain. Her doctor took her off of the pain meds implying that the pain was pyscho symatic and after some convincing, they performed a lumber punch which identified cancer in her bone marrow, and she was given days. She passed 2 weeks prior to her 9th birthday (also her mothers birthday) in her mummy's arms. She is very sadly missed. We were each told of the mortality rate and the chances however, the treatment in itself was very badly arranged and the doctor in charge at the local hospital, unprofessional. The doctor who misdiagnosed her has now issued a formal apology but I believe that more research and awareness should be made about Rhabdomyosarcomas as it is barely heard of.
Ironically, another young girl has been recently diagnosed and treated in Cambridge for the exact type of cancer. I just hope the poor little one has better administered treatment than my friends poor little one.

fancywriter2My sister
My sister said "You just make excuses to have no self control" talking about my manic depression or bipolar disorder. She also said "You think your problems are bigger than everyone elses". I have no other significant other than her, and obviously she is not a safe person. Therefore, I find myself turning to others, to therapists, to Hugh, my XBF.
I think she uses money to connect to me and now that I am in Dave Ramsey program she realizes she will have to let go. She did not need to come down just to get down on me. It was a bad visit, Monday. Maybe the devil got in, not enough prayer before hand. 8 years ago

Program Malfunction: 8 Worst Tech-Related Costumes
This year you might be considering going the technology route for your costume. We applaud you for being so brave. We do, however, have a few suggestions for tech-related costumes you should probably stay away from. Consider these eight costumes your personal blue screen of death. Happy Halloween!
By Scott Neumyer
Binder Full of Women
The problem with debate jokes: They have a terribly short shelf like. Mitt Romneys gaffe during the second nationally televised Presidential debate lit up the Internet within seconds and inspired a clever little Tumblr within minutes. But its played out. Yes, you could go out for Halloween with an oversized Trapper Keeper around your wife, or perhaps a black three-ring stuff with pictures of ladies, but this hilarious costume would never live up to what the meme community has produced already. Same goes for horses and bayonets, which isnt really fun anymore, either.

Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Miami
The NHSN is dedicated to improving the health equity of Hispanics by:
- Increasing the amount, quality, and disseminatio n of interdisciplinary translational research and;
- Fostering the development and advancement of Hispanic scientists to promote future leaders.
Conference Overview
The planning committee for the 2009 conference was quite purposeful in designing a scientific program that addressed a variety of scientific issues that are transdiciplinary in scope, and covered the spectrum of NHSN member interests. The opening plenary given by Terry Pechacek, Ph.D. from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Lourdes Baezconde- Garbanati, Ph.D. from University of Southern California examined factors influencing smoking reduction in the United States. The opening panel then presented the latest scientific findings on the epidemiology and prevention of cigarette, alcohol, and drug use and abuse in adolescence.
Exciting and timely plenary presentations were given by the Director of NIDA, Nora Volkow, M.D., and Thomas McClellan, Ph.D., Deputy Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Additional panels extended this focus on tobacco and alcohol addictions into intervention options as well as on the impact of genes and their environment on drugs of addiction. The conference also featured several special interest break-out sessions of technical and substantive interest to our members, in addition to mentoring and training activities to improve grant writing skills and overall scientific productivity.

What a great website! Having watched mikeroweWORKS grow, this is exactly what I imagined and hoped would be in place!!
Would be helpful if the mrW button went to the Trade Resource Center itself. Too confusing to figure out what mrW is or how it's useful when you end up in the den.
Shamefully the "quiz" portion of the Jobstart 101 should be aimed at recent high school graduates instead of recent college grads. The fact that recent college grads don't know basic basics such as not showing up in cruddy khakis and chatting about things other than business with your new co-workers on your first day is quite….scary.
I'm a "Discovery Educator" and have gone to many of their workshops and use their materials in class, so I'm personally thrilled to see this website go up and the participation of mrW in it. Easy to navigate and something that students could use as they begin to explore their career options. Sending it on to my Career and Technology colleagues!
This site is fantastic, even for the non-skilled.
Thanks for sharing and for taking part.

A new exhibition of Richard Avedon's photography shows off the sartorial choices of activists like Abbie Hoffman and Allen Ginsberg.
As Oscar Wilde once observed, "It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances." The photographer Richard Avedon, who straddled the worlds of fine art and fashion, surely would have agreed with him. And yet Avedon—who preferred to keep props and lighting to a minimum—didn't seem to judge his subjects as much as to let them incriminate themselves. ("A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he's being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks," Avedon said.) Deeply revealing as his portraits seem to be, he nonetheless contended that they were also simply studies of the superficial. "My photographs don't go below the surface," said Avedon, the only photographer whose work has been treated to two major exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "They don't go below anything. ... I have great faith in surfaces. A good one is full of clues."
A week after the attempted comeback of the most significant political movement of the new century, an Avedon triptych now on display in New York gets a person thinking about the clues radicals have used over the years to signal their political beliefs. The
At the same time, they look quite different from their bourgeois contemporaries pictured on the other side of the gallery: the members of Allen Ginsberg's extended family. Those photos feature men in crisp suits and requisite ties, ladies in polite cocktail dresses and kitten heels. No one would've mistaken the Ginsbergs for Yippies—members of the countercultural 60's youth movement that Hoffman helped to found—just as no one would've mistaken Hoffman for a banker or any other kind of office worker.
One of the primary ways that the Yippies (and the beatniks before them) demonstrated their anti-materialist values was by shopping at thrift stores, according to Tove Hermanson, a senior contributor to Worn Through, an academic blog about apparel, who is working on a book about revolution and style. "Secondhand style enables wearers to confront the mainstream public by communicating allegiances to anti-consumerist lifestyles and radical sociopolitical philosophies," says Hermanson. "Flaunting un-cut hair and wearing mended and outdated clothes has acted as a peaceful visual assault on middle class standards" for decades.
During the French Revolution, the sans-culottes—a political group that played an important part in the war—were a little less peaceful about fashion. Their nickname, "without breeches," refers to the popular silk knee-length pants that they couldn't afford—and were, in fact, legally prohibited from wearing. ("There is a long history of sartorial laws in Europe forbidding lower classes from wearing certain clothes so as to impose visible distinction between groups, eliminating any possibility that any man or woman might be mistaken for a member of another class," Hermanson points out. "These laws could be extremely complex and specific; royalty may wear ermine, aristocrats may wear beaver, working class can wear muskrat.") With tensions running high, the have-culottes had to watch their backs, protecting themselves and their breeches from the have-nots. "In the moments before and during the French Revolution, sentiment turned against the wealthy and it became a liability for people to flaunt their status—aristocratic men were attacked in the streets if they dressed too ostentatiously," says Hermanson. As a result, they would "disguise themselves in work wear—long trousers, not any variation of culottes."

Peeping Landlord Charged With Videotaping 16-Year-Old's Room
Suffolk County Police arrested a landlord Wednesday who they say installed video and audio equipment to spy on a teenage girl at an East Patchogue home.
Police say Louis Bosco, 44, installed several hidden cameras and an audio device in the girl's bedroom and bathroom in the apartment, at 635 South Country Road.
Police described the devices as "pin cameras."
Bosco, who is described as a self-employed handyman, lives in a trailer next to the house.
According to the victim's mother, the teenage girl and her 8-year-old brother were walking outside their home and passed by Bosco's trailer and noticed a monitor inside, showing Bosco speaking to their mother inside their house.
The girl told her parents who then notified Suffolk County police, authorities say.
Bosco was arrested and charged with with second-degree unlawful surveillance.
The girl's mother, who did not want to be identified, said she is distraught over the situation.
"I feel guilty because I didn't know the video cameras were inside my home," she told PIX News. She adds that even though they removed all the cameras from her home she still feels like she is being watched.
Bosco was arraigned in First District Court in Central Islip on Thursday.Copyright © 2014, The Baltimore Sun

Creative Podcasting
Some business owners have suggested to me that their business doesn't translate well to a podcast format. They think their business isn't interesting enough to have a regular "show" on the topic. They manufacture widgets, and really nobody is going to be interested in hearing about that widget every week!
I always urge them to think creatively. Maybe their manufactured widget wouldn't make a fascinating topic for a regular podcast but they should think about who their customers are and what they would be interested in hearing on a regular basis.
Podcasts don't have to be in a monologue or interview format. They can be almost anything you can conceive and will depend on your market.
You could create:
- A round table discussion with experts within your field
- An audio tour (city, ghost, walking, museum)
- Story telling
- Music band clips, interviews and soundbites
- A tip or thought for the day
- Audio articles from your blog
- A News and information show from your industry
- Training modules
- Audio seminars and conferences
- A comedy show
Audio is "Theatre of the Mind" and podcasting is the perfect place to let your creativity run wild! The more creative you are the more memorable your podcast and business will be. Of course, make sure you strike a balance – there's no point being creative if at the end of the podcast nobody really knows what you do.
In my next post, I'll share some of the podcasts I enjoy listening to and/or think are particularly creative and effective.

Drexel University ACE Spring 2010 - page 13
Hello all, I just received a letter from Drexel saying that my application for the ACE program is now complete and Im waiting for a response. I was wondering if anyone else here is applying for the same program and received an... Read More
- 0Sep 9, '09 by jmh02sAugustRain -
Thanks so much for your kind words! And more importantly ... CONGRATS!!!!!! I've seen a lot of your posts on here, and appreciate your positive outlook on the program. I know it's going to be an intense year ahead of me ... but that is why we signed up for it in the first place! I'd love to pick your brain about some things, but I'm sure right now your main focus is on celebrating / NCLEX prep! Congrats again!!!
- 0Sep 9, '09 by AugustRainThanks Jenn! I'm very excited, but way too tired to celebrate properly haha. And thanks to HESI, I think I'm pretty much set for NCLEX, so I don't feel guilty about spending the whole day doing nothing. Feel free to post or PM me, I'll do my best to answer your questions. Enjoy the next few months, you're in for quite a ride in the spring!
- 0Sep 15, '09 by jmh02sI have a quick question:
I got my Transfer Credit Evaluation today, and everything seems to have transferred over, but I'm having a freak-out about my science classes. My A&P courses are only 4 credits, not 5 as Drexel says it requires (mine are 3 credits for each lecture & 1 credit for each lab) ... the letter has a line explicitly stating each must be the 4 hour class + lab ... has anyone else had this issue?!?
I just got this letter & sent an email & will call tomorrow, but would love to hear if anybody else has had this issue ... I don't want to stop sending out my apps to other schools if this won't transfer ... and every local school down here in Florida only has the 3 + 1 credit hour A&P classes, so I'm pretty much out of luck if this is the case. I appreciate any comments/ help with this - thanks!!
- 0Sep 15, '09 by jmh02sCocobelly - thanks so much for the reply! I'm definitely going to call tomorrow ... I really have my heart set on Drexel. I take it (from what I've gathered from your posts) you're starting in Spring '10? Have you figured out your living situation yet? I know it's months off, but I want to get everything squared away well before the program!
- 0Sep 15, '09 by MWheelsHello everyone! My name is Meghan and I was recently accepted to the ACE program to begin Spring of 2010 also!! Congratulations to everyone!! I am from Massachusetts and will be moving to Philly if I accept. I wanted to know do ACE students usually get apartments close to the school or do they use the on campus housing? And I just wanted to know the actual start date of the program. Does anyone know? I heard March but I am not sure if this is correct?
- 0Sep 17, '09 by JennaczarHey everyone!
I am all set for the Spring 2010 semester! I am from Long Island, NY and just had my first visit to Philly! What a beautiful city!!! I talked to a current student and they said that YOU NEED A CAR- for clinicals and to live out of stiles dorms (which is the graduate building). I visited a bunch of apartment complexes and would LOVE a roomate! I am trying to get names of people from the program to see who else is in need of a roomate, but maybe if I post on here I can talk to you personally!
I am SO excited about starting this program with you all! Is it true it is only 80 of us?! I would love to meet up somewhere before we even start the program.. Its going to be a fun journey together!
I look forward to hearing from everyone!!! =D
- 0Sep 17, '09 by JennaczarHey Jenn!
haha I guess there are lots of jenn's hah-- CONGRATS ON GETTING IN!! You sound psyched! We are both so passionate about this program!! I cannot wait!
I would LOVE to meet up with everyone or chat before we begin the program. As I had mentioned on another post I am looking for a roomate to share a studio or one bedroom apartment in Philly! =D How exciting!! I want to share interests and see if we are a match! Let me know if anyone is interested - I am from NY right now and just visited Drexel for the first time. =D
- 0Sep 21, '09 by dominey1Congratulations on all who have recently received their acceptance to the program!! I am also hoping to find a roommate in/surrounding the Philadelphia area. However, I am looking to have a living situation where everyone has their own individual room.
Also, from previous posts that I have read, it seems that living close to the campus is really only beneficial the 1st quarter because that is when you have more class time vs clinical time. After that quarter, you are doing so many clinicals, and you have no say on where you complete them, so you could be very far away from campus....so I would prefer to find a place with a little more space, and a little less in rent (and preferably free parking) and just bite the bullet and do the little extra commute to campus during the 1st quarter.
If anyone is interested, please let me know. I will be traveling out of the country before school starts, so I would like to have things settled before the chaos beings !

Buffalo Bandits forward John Tavares collected his 86th point to break the National Lacrosse League's single season scoring record on Saturday night against the Albany Attack.
Tavares, the 5'11, 175-pound forward from Toronto, Ontario collected seven points on two goals and five assists (2 5=7) to break Washington Power forward Gary Gait's former mark of 85 points. Tavares brings his record-setting total to 90 points (39 51=90) in only 10 games.
In 12 games for the Baltimore Thunder, Gait collected 85 points (57 28=85) during the 1998 season to set the former NLL record.
"Like fine wine, John has gotten better with age," Bandits head coach Ted Sawicki said. "When you need a goal, he's always there when it counts."
Tavares' previous career-high was 83 points set during the 1999-2000 season (34 49=83). Saturday's five-assist performance also broke Tavares' NLL record of 49 assists set during the 1999-2000 NLL season.
In 95 career regular season games, Tavares has collected 636 points on 322 goals and 314 assists (322 314=636). Tavares was named the NLL Most Valuable Player for the 1999-2000 season, and the NLL Player of the Month for February 2001.

Australian Food News
New research from UK supermarket Asda has revealed the extent to which the recession is having an impact on children's behaviour in the supermarket.
The comprehensive study follows interviews with more than 1000 parents and 600 children. It highlights how parents are greatly underestimating the effect that the credit crunch is having on their children, not just in their attitude to finances, but also how worried they are about their parents' wellbeing.
While only 18% of parents thought their children were concerned about the credit crunch, in reality the figure is much higher - more than half (55%) of kids said they were worried about the impact the recession was having on their mum and dad.
The research uncovered that the credit crunch generation have developed a more frugal outlook on life, potentially signalling the demise of pester power. Forty-four per cent of kids admitted they are not asking their parents for things that 'they don't really need' compared to before the recession. Parents are also pushing back more, with 56 per cent simply saying 'no' more often to their kids.
"There is no doubt that the downturn is having a dramatic impact on kids and their behaviour with pester power on the wane for the first time since the War," Paul Kelly, External Affairs Director for ASDA, suggested. "Our research provides a valuable insight into how the next generation's attitudes towards money are changing, and how this will impact their purchasing decisions in the future. Frugality is now a reality across all age groups and social backgrounds."
"This shift is significant and is set to continue after the recession has been and gone."

Discover how we can put
your data to work for you.
My darling daughter is doing an experiment. Her class is creating two-story buildings that must contain multiple rooms. Their building materials are pasta and glue. The children select what types of pasta they want to use. The glue is flour + water.
After the buildings are finished, the class is going to simulate an earthquake with a shaking table. Their objective...see what happens.
This morning we went to buy pasta. My daughter and I discussed the strength of different pastas. We talked about what pasta would make better walls. We settled on lasagna, spaghetti, manicotti and some egg noodles.
It sounds like a fun project, but I don't know what my daughter is actually learning. Earthquakes make buildings fall down?
As I drove to work this morning, a thought went through my head. Her activity is similar to a few predictive analytics projects that I have observed in my career. The dataset is gathered (build a house of pasta). Sometimes this does involve adding simulated data. Then you analyze the data and see what happens. These projects don't typically end in a happy place unless their goal is "data understanding" (also known as exploratory data analysis). That is because the first step...an important step was skipped over.
What is the business's vision? What are the project's objectives? How are we measuring success...deployment of solution or a report?
As a project manager working with the CRISP methodology (Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining), it is critical to get answers to these questions. I need the story (vision) to guide the project. I need the objectives and expected outcomes to measure success to manage a project.
A couple of years ago, I attended a networking event at a university on predictive analytics. (I partly attended because of the "free lunch.") One of the event's goals was to allow business people and students to mingle and learn from each other. Each student had completed a predictive analytics project. There were about 125 people at the event.
I would look at reports from the student's predictive analytics projects. I would ask some questions. The students would get to practice presenting skills. They would answer some questions.
I stopped at the first project and started talking with the student. The student had used U.S. Department of Transportation data. He presented his results. Vehicle accidents most commonly occur in:
The student showed me his pretty, pretty graph. And then he stopped talking.
He had discovered facts that any experienced driver understands. I was slightly stunned that he made no attempt to frame his discovery or discuss it. He leaned too hard on Data Visualization to tell his story. He did not acknowledge just how obvious his discovery was. I decided to ask a CRISP question.
I asked, "Why did you analyze this data? What were your objectives for the analysis?" (The first step of CRISP is Business Understanding.)
Student replied, "I was assigned the data."
OK. I should have stopped asking questions at that point and grabbed lunch. I decided to try asking a couple more questions. I asked, "What is the actionable information? How could it be used or deployed?" (The last step of CRISP.)
It was clear that this question puzzled the student, who just wanted the grade.
I moved on and talked with other students and looked at other projects. While they were assigned data to work with, they made up a backstory/vision...or they actually did some research and figured out a common use case. For example another team had telecommunication data and focused on discovering upsell opportunities.
Understanding and being able to communicate why you are analyzing the data is very important.
Angela Waner has been a project manager at Statsoft since 2006. She is interested in the results of predictive analytics and data analysis but is not a fan of math. So she will focus on the stories... the value of applied analytics for businesses / governments and how she got started with STATISTICA.

LOS ANGELES—The Philippines is no longer the "sick man of Asia," Philippine Cabinet Secretary Edgardo D. Pamintuan declared in a series of dialogues with Filipino-American community leaders in the United States.
"It used to be that when America sneezes, the Philippines is already suffering from pneumonia. But as the US, Japan and many other countries slide deeper into recession, the Philippines has still been registering respectable economic growth," Pamintuan said.
Pamintuan, chair of the Subic-Clark-Alliance for Development, is head of a four-man delegation from the Philippines on a "good news" road show about the economic performance of the country in the face of the global crisis; the developments of key infrastructure projects; as well the progress of the conversion of Clark and Subic from military to economic bases.
With Pamintuan, who is also development champion for the Luzon Urban Beltway super region and presidential adviser for external affairs, are Alexander Cauiguiran, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Clark International Airport Corporation, Undersecretary Danilo de Austria Consumido and Director Leonardo Kirk Galanza of the Office of External Affairs of the Office of the President.
Pamintuan and his team met with leaders of the Filipino-American community in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. They will meet with Filipino-American leaders in San Francisco this weekend.
Noting that infrastructure development is key to mitigating the impact of the global crisis, Pamintuan enumerated several key infrastructure projects being implemented in the Luzon Urban Beltway super region, which covers Central Luzon, Metro Manila and the Southern Luzon provinces.
He said these projects are mainly road and highway networks, rail systems, airports and seaports that are aimed to interconnect the production and industrial enclaves of Southern Luzon to the commercial and consumption centers of Metro Manila, and to the rest of the world through the freeports of Clark and Subic.
"We are trying to create a seamless network of multi-modal transport-oriented infrastructures that would promote greater efficiency in the movement of goods, services, people and information," Pamintuan said, adding that these projects would greatly reduce the cost of doing business.
"Because of the global crisis, companies would now be locating to areas where there are efficient facilities and where the cost of doing business is lower. Add to this the availability of highly-skilled Filipino labor, I believe we can even take advantage of the opportunities offered by the global economic situation," he explained.
Consumido, meantime, presented the measures being put in place by government to mitigate the impact of the global economic meltdown. He cited the optimism of global financial institutions and credit rating agencies on the chances of the Philippines in even benefiting from the situation.
For his part, Cauguiran presented the dramatic development of Clark and Subic as freeport zones where major global economic players are now among their locators. He also cited the record growth in passenger traffic of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) in Clark, which, he said, is fast developing to be the main international gateway of the country.
He said the DMIA has better runways and radar systems that can accommodate the biggest airplanes in the world, including the gigantic Airbus 380. The DMIA has since become a hub for budget international airlines catering to overseas Filipino workers from Central and Northern Luzon.
On the issue of human rights, Pamintuan said that the recent US State Department country assessment on human rights in the Philippines is "more or less fair." He said the report noted that the necessary policies, laws and institutions are in place to protect human rights, but their implementation has to be more strictly ensured.
He declared that the human rights situation has greatly improved in the Philippines in the last two years, particularly on the issue of unexplained killings. He said that from a high of 145 verified cases in 2006, the figures went down to six in 2007 and to five in 2008.
"We should have zero tolerance on political killings, but there is still a long-running insurgency in some parts of the countryside, and a Moro rebellion in the south. These are dirty little wars, and the combatants of both sides are accusing each other of committing certain atrocities," said Pamintuan, a human rights lawyer imprisoned during Martial Law.
"There is no country in the world that can claim a perfect human rights situation," he said. "Not even the US can lay claim to that." ###

Unboxing – One of Life's Great Joys
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
Let me ask you, as one photographer to another… are there many things better in life than unboxing a brand new camera? Not many, I think!
A serendipitous sequence of events lead to the ability to buy my Canon EOS 7D with 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM kit lens – which I have greatly coveted since its debut last year – several months ahead of schedule. I pulled the trigger on it on Monday evening, and it was in my hands on Wednesday. Oh joy, oh happiness, oh how lovely it is to live in the age of Amazon and UPS.
Of course, I took photos of each stage of the unboxing. For you, my gentle readers! (Click on each for a larger version.)
What I am looking forward to the most:
- Eight frames per second
- ISO up to 6400
- 19 point auto-focus
- On-the-fly switching between RAW and JPEG
- 63 zone dual-layer light metering
- HD video
What I am looking forward to the least:
- Reading the 250 page manual.
Rest assured, once I gain familiarity with this new camera, you'll all be getting a detailed review. Plus, I received a couple of other toys in this shipment that I'm eager to share with you all, in upcoming entries!

Skip Maine state header navigation
TO: Secondary School Principals, Secondary School Guidance Directors, Special Educational Directors, Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents, and Curriculum Coordinators
FROM: Susan A. Gendron, Commissioner
DATE: September 22, 2005
RE: Transition from the MEA to the College Board SAT for Grade 11 Students in 2005-06
Key Points Covered in this Informational Letter:
Beginning in the spring of 2006, Maine students in their third year of high school will participate in the College Board SAT as a replacement for the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA). This significant change to our secondary assessment program is founded on the following policy goals:
This policy direction recognizes both the value of current efforts of teachers and administrators toward continuing school improvement, and the comparatively high standing of Maine schools in the nation. However, the evidence is clear that we need to work together to move our public education system to an even higher level of effectiveness. To this end, the Department is collaborating with the College Board to make available an array of programs to support student success and provide professional development opportunities for teachers, including special education and alternative education teachers, and guidance personnel.
Achieving proficiency in verbal and mathematics skills is a necessity, not an option, for any student, if he or she is to leave secondary school with opportunities to succeed in post secondary education or the workplace. Presently, 75% of Maine secondary students take SAT tests. The time has come to establish a policy for the inclusion of all students. Our expectation is that all students will participate in the PSAT and SAT programs. The only exception will be the small number of students with the most severe cognitive disabilities. Those students will continue to have access to high academic standards through the Personalized Assessment Portfolio Process (PAAP).
It is important to note that Maine is not alone in reconsidering alternatives to the high school test. Other states are considering a similar approach to help to change student attitudes about post-secondary aspirations. We believe that this policy direction will become more common over the next few years as States confront the necessity of graduating increasing numbers of students fully prepared for college and 21 st century careers.
Additional Assessment Policy Considerations:
Changing the 11 th grade test from the MEA to the SAT requires that we address a number of other assessment policy issues. First, in order to ensure that the SAT is a valid measure of Maine's Learning Results (MLR), documenting alignment between the SAT and the MLR is necessary. To begin this process, the College Board contracted with an independent assessment consultant to conduct an alignment study. The results of this study made clear that the content addressed by the MLR and the content tested by the SAT are highly aligned. A follow-up study will be conducted in the near future to confirm these initial findings and to consider any additional steps that might be necessary to ensure that the SAT will be an effective tool for State purposes. In addition to the alignment study, we are very pleased to note that, in cooperation with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), the Surveys of Enacted Curriculum (SEC) program will "code" the SAT so that local school districts participating in the SEC program can determine the extent to which local curriculum and instruction are aligned with the SAT.
Second, in order to provide test results that can be used for a variety of State and local purposes, the Department will need to set performance standards similar to those established for the MEA. The use of student raw scores on the test is the critical issue here and one that will be addressed through the standard setting process. The Department will utilize a standard setting process that involves panels of Maine teachers and citizens to establish proficiency standards. This will enable the test results to be used in the Local Assessment System (LAS) and to be used as a valid basis for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) purposes.
Finally, in order to ensure that we retain our commitment to equity, a program is being organized to provide access to test preparation for students and schools that might not otherwise have sufficient resources. This will be undertaken against the background of the initial savings that Maine families will realize by virtue of the State paying registration fees for all students taking the State required administration of the SAT in their third year of high school. In addition, it is the policy of the College Board to provide all students that are eligible for free or reduced lunch programs multiple opportunities to take the SAT free.
College Board SAT, State, and No Child Left Behind Act Reports:
SAT Reports : Students will receive official SAT score reports that they may use as they apply to colleges both in Maine and elsewhere. It is important to communicate to students and their parents that Maine is not changing the SAT format or content in any way. This will ensure that all colleges using SAT results in their admission process will accept the scores. Any student whose accommodations exceed those approved by the College Board will receive a State score for NCLB purposes, but not an approved SAT score. In addition to the student reports, high schools will be able to use the individual score and summary information to guide evaluation of curriculum and instructional effectiveness.
State and NCLB Reports : To comply with the requirements of standards based reporting on achievement of Maine's Learning Results and the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) accountability requirements of NCLB, a standards based reporting format will be developed. While the formats of the new reports have not yet been determined, they will likely be similar to the current MEA School Summary Reports. The student will receive a State proficiency score based on Maine's performance standards in addition to SAT norm referenced scores. Likewise, schools will receive summary reports detailing student proficiency. This standards reporting format will serve as the basis for AYP determinations.
Implementation Details in Preparation for the SAT Administration in April, 2006:
Beginning with the 2005-06 school year, all grade 11 students (including 3 rd year secondary school students regardless of grade or credits earned) will be required to take the SAT or the MEA-PAAP. The official date for the required Maine administration for the SAT will be Saturday April 1, 2006. For the convenience of students, the Department is working with the College Board to add a number of new high school sites to those already in place for the April 1, 2006 testing date. SAT administration times and sites for students needing significant accommodations will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
More detailed information on the implementation of this new program will be sent to you concerning the following initial details:
Concluding Comments:
The implementation of this policy initiative, aimed at increasing college readiness, sets an ambitious timetable for implementation. There will be many implementation issues to work out along the way; however, it is essential that we move ahead. I will assign a staff member to coordinate implementation details and serve as a conduit for communications directly with schools. It is our intent to keep you briefed on progress. In the interim, please communicate with Dr. Horace "Brud" Maxcy at (207) 624-6774 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, as soon as possible when you have a question or concern related to the implementation.
From my perspective, the focus of this new policy is not the test, but the preparation of the student to achieve high standards. The College Board SAT is a fair measure of our Learning Results expectations, as confirmed by an alignment study, making it an appropriate assessment program. The SAT is seen by the vast majority of students as a passport to their next step toward adult life, so the motivation to do well is very high; thus, I believe the performance results produced should provide a fair reflection of our students' achievement of Maine's rigorous Learning Results expectations. The continuing challenge for all of us is to implement effective strategies that raise expectations for all students and prepare them for success.

When it comes to horrors, I don't think I have 'the favourite'... but I really like 'Dracula' with the amazing Bela Lugosi... no special effects, just pure talent!
P.S It seems like I have become desensitised and hardly any horror scares me now. Oh the joys of being a horror fan. :(
Oh, dear... it's hard to pick my favorite scary movie, since I'm more into the mood than horror. I did enjoy the old Vincent Price movies - like Tales of Terror. Edgar A. Poe + Vincent = awesome.ReplyDelete

Picking a favourite scary movie is hard - I'm more of a 'moments' person (the kitchen chair scene in Poltergeist or the end of The Blair Witch Project for example). So for scary moments I think I will go with Salam's Lot (with David Soul of all people). I'd have to say the TV version of The Woman in Black is a very close second.ReplyDelete

My favorite scary movie. Wawh, this is difficult! But I guess it has to be coraline. I know, I know, people call me crazy but I sure as hell see that movie as a SCARY movie, because it just is! I don't know if you've seen it, but just the way her 'other parents' are, with the creepy button-eyes, and the moment when her 'other dad' plays the piano when he's going like, insane? GIVES ME THE CREEPES. But I love it. It's stopmotion, it's creepy, it's amazing.
oooooh such great goodies - I hope luck will be on my side :)ReplyDelete
Oooooh hard to tell what my favorite scary movie is - but I think the most make me scared "Paranormal activity" - I sat the whole movie on my couch like a little child, holding my pillow tight - Mister Meeow was so amused of how I was scared :D Oh and some scenes of Poltergeist made me shiver when I was a child - most the television scenes... creepy!!!!

My favourite scary film is the Woman in Black, usually I am such a wimp and refuse to watch anything scary, but I loved this one, so mysterious and such good cinematography.
These are so lovely!ReplyDelete
Oh my favorite scary movie, it's so hard to chose as its my fav genera of movies. I really love Saw the original, I love a movie with a good twist that I didn't see coming. I also like The Bride of Frankenstein, good classic. The only one to scare me was The Ring. I was young and my bf at the time scared me by calling me shorty after, not on purpose.
ho, this will be so much fun! :>ReplyDelete
to keep this short and sweet:
I'm a blogger from portugal trying her luck on this prize and;
my favorite scary movie has got to be "Darkness" now; this is a fairly difficult movie to find on the net due to the name being so ordinary in these sort of movies. it was actually made by Spanish directors and film makers, and the script was also in Spanish, but they were able to record the whole movie in English, and the camera treatment emulates American movies to a T but with that foreign taste still.
this is the movie as shown in IMDB:
it's really about the most old beliefs about the dark and why we as a species seem to have such a deep rooted fear of it. with some very nice FX in the mix, the ouroboros, the hecate with her 3 sides... you are in for a load of fun.
actually Im getting goosebumps just writting about it.Replies
ops! forgot to say:Delete
my email is thecorpseofcheer {at} gmail dot com
thank you! :3
I just love your style! My email is email@example.com and my favorite scary film is Children of the Corn. I'm a sucker for demonic children. ;)ReplyDelete
Yay for this! My email is illivonray at gmail.com and my favorite scary movie... that is really tough, I like so many... um... The Thing/Nosferatu/Beetlejuice. See, I couldn't pick just one and even narrowing it down to those three I'm still waiting to interject with more options, I'm also imagining a movie where all three come together!ReplyDelete
Awesome giveaway!ReplyDelete
My favorite scary movie is Nosferatu!

Thanks for the opportunity. Her palettes are awesome. I love your blog!ReplyDelete
I think my favorite, aside from old Hammer Horror films, is The Orphanage. It is spooky and rather sad at the end. If you could consider The Road to be horror, that might be my ultimate favorite, haha.

The purple spider web palette is so pretty! I wish I found out about Lynn's shop sooner. I don't really have a favourite horror movie, I'm more of an action/comedy type girl.ReplyDelete

These palettes seem awesome! :)ReplyDelete
I'm a relatively new follower, but a follower nonetheless! ;)
I guess I'm still looking for my favourite horror movie, since a couple times a year I start watching all the horror films I can get my hands on. It's a bit weird, because I get nightmares quite easily, and some movies tend to haunt me for ages, but I still need to get my horrorfix! I prefer the more supernatural and paranormal types of horror to slashers, but enjoy both if they manage to spook me. :)
I don't love movies, so haven't watched a ton of scary ones, but The Ring really sticks out in my mind as being utterly terrifying. I do tend to prefer scary short stories, though!ReplyDelete
