Pre-cancerous Penile Lesions
European Urological Review, 2010;5(1):23-6
Pathological Studies
A heterogeneous group of abnormalities and pre-cancerous lesions affect the penis. The pre-cancerous lesions consist of cellular alterations of the squamous epithelium: proliferation, loss of polarity and nuclear atypia of varying degrees.1,2 Various terms, such as high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), severe dysplasia or intraepithelial penile neoplasia (PeIN III), can be used synonymously with carcinoma in situ. Recently, European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines on penile cancer reported three categories of pre-malignant lesion, each with a different probability of developing into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis:
- lesions sporadically associated with SCC of the penis (cutaneous horn of the penis and Bowenoid papulosis [BP]);
- lesions at an intermediate risk of progression to SCC (balanitis xerotica obliterans/lichen sclerosus [LS]); and
- lesions at a high risk of developing into SCC of the penis (penile intraepithelial neoplasia occurring as Bowen's disease [BD] or erythroplasia of Queyrat [EQ]).3
These last two designations concern well-circumscribed scaly lesions of the skin of the shaft (BD) and irregular velvety red lesions of the glans (EQ). Both are human papillomavirus (HPV)-related lesions and microscopically have the features of carcinoma in situ.
The few pathological studies of pre-cancerous penile lesions are mostly related to carcinoma in situ and HPV, and information about low-grade atypical lesions is limited.4 Recently, morphological studies have reported precursor neoplastic lesions: squamous hyperplasia (SH), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and HSIL. SH is observed in penile specimens with squamous, papillary or verrucous carcinoma, while SH is rarely observed associated with warty or basaloid carcinoma;5 macroscopically, it presents as a flat or slightly elevated white plaque.6 The lesion may be a linear pearly-white thickening on the cut surface. SH is characterised by acanthotic thickening (>15 layers) of the epithelium of the glans, coronal sulcus or foreskin, and lacks cytological atypia. LSIL and HSIL may present as single or multiple clinically localised lesions and may be detected by peniscopy.4,7 Microscopically, in LSIL atypical cells involve the basal, parabasal or lower third of the epithelium, while HSIL has atypical cells in the middle to upper third of the squamous epithelium.2,5 LSIL in its typical form, the differentiated squamous or simplex type, presents as keratinised, mature, flat lesions with atypical cells in the lower third of the epithelium. Other less frequently occurring patterns are warty (condylomatous), basaloid and differentiated papillary.5 HSILs are more heterogeneous, with most cases being keratinised squamous, designated as squamous or simplex type, with enlarged pleomorphic and hyperchromatic nuclei, thick nuclear membranes, prominent nucleoli and coarse chromatin. The epithelium presents normally, with abnormal mitosis and a high proliferative index (see Figure 1). In one-third of cases HSILs are basaloid, warty (condylomatous) or mixed (warty–basaloid). Correlation of special types of invasive carcinoma with subtypes of SIL revealed morphological correspondence between the invasive tumour and the associated intraepithelial lesion.
In a study of 288 carcinomas the entire surface of the penile specimen was microscopically observed to describe the morphological features of all epithelial alterations and to investigate their relationship with early carcinoma and subtypes of invasive carcinoma.5 SH, the most common lesion, was found in 83% of cases. In many cases the authors reported a morphological transition from SH to LSIL, while the association between SH and HSIL was infrequent and discontinuous. LSIL was associated with invasive SCC in 57% of cases, and HSIL in 44%. In 62% of cases more than one associated lesion was present. The high frequency of squamous hyperplasia and LSIL and the preferential association with usual, verrucous and papillary carcinomas suggest that, despite its benign appearance, SH may be a precursor of the aforementioned carcinomas. The association between the basaloid, warty or mixed forms of HSIL with their invasive counterparts indicates that these are their likely precursors.4,5

i didnt like the customer service or that we had to pay to park at the hotel. my total for 1 room 1 night was $171. it just got a little frustrating.
I was in this hotel before - 4 years ago. Seems that they done some cosmetic renovations since then. Great location: quick access to Hollywood boulevard, to Griffith observatory, Hollywood sign, etc. Room was clean. WiFi - quick. Cold breakfast: same as years before - same donuts in pink box plus coffee.
We stayed for one night: arrived late, leave early so limited expirience. Not great part - they charge for parking 10 dollars. Parking space is limited.
Everything - we we greeted by Alim, the lovely gentleman on reception and had a great chat about his family in Australia. The room was large, spotless and on the ground floor, so we could park right outside. Everything was clean and functional (decor a little dated, but I was there to sleep and relax, not rate the interior design). Fridge, microwave and ice. Awesome location. Fresh donuts and coffee for free breakfast was a bonus.
The Wi fi worked well on my computer, but for some reason there were issues connecting with iPhone - don't understand what the problem was, but the computer was fine.
Near hollywood/universal
Amazing location and pleasant enviroment
Seemed a bit cheap to charge for parking. Could have incorporated this charge into the room price.
Location bcz few grocery stores are available.
They don't have least sense while designing the rooms to provide a wardrobe for a two queen bed room accommodating 4 people. We put the clothes on chairs. There is no enough place for luggage. We have to carry everything from car trunk. Collecting such a high rate and not providing breakfast.
I'm absolutely unhappy with the customer service. ..The manager was the most rude and racist person ever...when I paid 140.00 dollars for one night. .I didn't realize that only two people could stay their..manager called the police on me..when I refuse to leave my two children in my car...because the max was two..he made me pay extra money for each child. ...I would never recommend this place to nobody. .I've never been treated like this in my life!! My rate for this place is a zero!!
The health department should close this place down.
I like how it was closed walking distance to Hollywood and Vine it was dark rooms very friendly staff and a nice safe location
does parking cost $10 and there are only so many spots
I Booked the room for the night because of convenience and price and it was a very nice place .... I was really very pleased with my stay.
Loved the fact that we were a five-minute walk to Hollywood Blvd. and just around the corner from a 7-11 and other fast-food joints. Very close to highways. Fridge was helpful. Clean beds and bedding.
Had to park our rental car in a public lot down the block as there were no more spots available in front of the motel (nothing happened - the car was safe and the lot attendant took good care of it). The carpet is ratty and carpet nails sneakily protrude, but they are going to renovate soon.
We were in walking distance of everything
Staff was really rude. Had to pay for parking
the staff poor wifi poor environment extremely bad
We felt very unwelcome, the reception man hit us $10.00 a day Car parking cash only, he was not happy when l would only pay by credit card. We will never ever go there again and we have never given a bad review before.
Location location location walking distance to Hollywood Blv and down town Hollywood, near metro suitable for perfect transporation everywhere. Large cable tv
The worst staff I have ever seen, so rude... There was a bad smell in the room and not so clean
I liked that this hotel was close to universal studios, Hollywood Blvd, beverly hills and other attractions.
Didn't like price. Was to pricey for the room we got. In need of remodeling especially bathrooms.the bedrooms were in fair conditions.got charged 10$ per night for parking.why do hotels charge to park on their parking lot.?
Location of the motel is great. Just one block from Hollywood Blvd.
Bathroom was really small. Our room had an unpleasant smell. Not very clean. Just an average motel
The location was good there was subway and a pizza place across the street.
On the best inn website it says free parking,, the guy made us pay $10 a night to park there and if you weren't back early ypu would have to park somewhere else. Our rooms rug was damp. You have to pay for ice. They turn off the ice machine at a certain time. And won't tell you
Property is very old and rooms are patched together. Needs repairs/update.
LOCATION..LOCATION..LOCATION!!! The gentleman at the front desk is not the warmest but he was very helpful with directions, and he aided me when I left my phone at FedEx down the street..the Inn itself is small , so not so much traffic and was quite,which was nice. The room was a good size and comfortable. My boyfriend and I attended a show at the Hollywood Bowl, which was about a mile away so we were able to save money on a cab,saved ourselves from the crazy traffic and walked back to the room after the show..which BTW was a nice walk. Freeway access is fabulous. .and the Inn is located about 4 blocks from Hollywood BLVD..there is a 7/11 next door..and the Indian restaurant across the street is absolutely Delicious!!! This is our new go to spot when attending shows at the Bowl. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
The parking is not free..make sure you bring 10 extra dollars
nice clean room
no lamp over the bed for reading
Clean, comfortable, good location, nice staff
Public transport althoigh cheap was complicated and wasted time. Too far to walk to Rodeo Drive for the average person, and to the beach.
Close to attractions Had fridge- thank you for that. Enough space when you out most of the day
Smell. !!! Nonsmoking rooms but smoking area just outside the door. Smell and noise from air conditioner interfered with sleep
high speed internet. free coffee and donut in the morning is not bad.
very small space, nowhere to hang clothes. dark lights.
The room was clean, the wifi was good and I was clear across the property, and the TV was also nice.
2 of the 3 lightbulbs in the ceiling were burnt out.

Brooks Brothers is as close as the New World has to a tailoring institution, so we've been watching Thom Browne's contribution to the Black Fleece line particularly closely. And thanks to Selectism, we just got a peek at the latest additions to the line.
Naturally, it's catnip for trads, but Mr. Browne manages to throw in more than just thin lapels, including his treasured formal shorts, argyle socks, and a two-tone sweater that's not that far from what Paul Smith's up to these days. (Minus the bird head, naturally.)

It's been three weeks since I bought my Android phone, and I'm having lots of fun hacking it. Here's what I'm doing with it now:
What am I working on being able to do with my Android?
What am I learning?
Looking at my preliminary stats from a little over two weeks of tracking, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much time I spent on social interaction – more than I thought I did, looking back. I also get a decent amount of walking and other exercise into my schedule. It takes me about 13 minutes to walk to the subway station, and the subway ride to work takes an average of 19 minutes – a little over my estimate of 30 minutes travel time. I've been putting that time to good use, listening to podcasts while walking, and writing Christmas cards if I can get a seat.
I might shift our preparation routines around so that I can move more non-computer things into weekday evenings. I want to do more blogging and Android development in my personal time. Even though I take frequent typing breaks to avoid those pangs of incipient RSI, a long day of working on the computer is probably still a bad idea. ;) Most of our weekend preparations involve laundry or cooking. Both are more efficiently batched on the weekends – cheaper electricity, too. Tidying up and folding laundry can be done as a break that separates work from evenings. Drawing might exercise different muscles (and different parts of my brain). Investing time into training speech recognition might pay off, too, although I get self-conscious about dictating when other people are around. <laugh>
Definitely like my Android.

The two major parties in Pakistan's coalition government have won the most seats in by-elections this week, filling 33 vacant seats in the national and provincial assemblies, an official has said.
The Pakistan Muslim League-N, led by Nawaz Sharif, a former prime minister, won three out of five parliamentary seats in Thursday's vote.
It also won eight provincial assembly seats and consolidated its control in Punjab, the biggest province.
Sharif's senior partner in the coalition government, the Pakistan People's Party, won two national assembly seats and seven provincial seats.
Kanwar Mohammad Dilshad, the secretary of Pakistan's Election Commission, said, the two parties "emerged as the main winners."
He said turnout was low but he did not have exact figures.
The two parties also won 19 out of 28 provincial seats that were available, he said.
The remaining provincial assembly seats were won by a smaller regional party and independent candidates.
During voting several people were injured after clashes erupted between rival political activists in three constituencies.
Polling was postponed for a sixth parliamentary seat in the eastern city of Lahore because of legal disputes over whether Sharif was eligible to contest.
A Lahore court ruled on Monday that he was ineligible to stand due to an old criminal conviction that Sharif says is politically motivated.
The results do not affect the balance of power in the 342-member National Assembly, where the People's Party controls 125 seats and Sharif's party holds 95 seats.
The former ruling party that backs Pervez Musharraf, the Pakistani president, came third with 54 seats.

Cookson to demerge performance materials division
7:10 AM MST | November 30, 2012 | —Ian Young
Shareholders of Cookson Group (London) have approved the company's plans to separate its performance materials division from its engineered ceramics and precious metals processing divisions. The performance materials division will be demerged to create a dedicated specialty chemicals company named Alent, which will be listed on the London stock exchange. The rest of Cookson will be renamed Vesuvius. The demerger is expected to become effective on 19 December 2012, when the Cookson name will disappear. Alent will be a leading global supplier of advanced...

In 2012, after having been sentenced to 11 years in prison for "terrorism" for illegally entering Ethiopia from Somalia in the presence of the Ogaden National Liberation Front, Swedish journalists Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye took the advice of their legal council, confessed to their "crimes" and requested an official pardon. It was a pragmatic move - both journalists vehemently denied the charges and considered any confession to be a charade - taken to save their own skins.
The request was granted, and the journalists were released after 438 days in jail. Their capture, trial, imprisonment and subsequent release were, as one would expect, all big news stories in Sweden. As told in the media, the Persson/Schibbye story followed a standard trope: Backward, undemocratic Africa versus progressive, democratic Sweden. Human rights violators versus human rights defenders. And, frankly, who could argue with that framing of events?
Persson and Schibbye, as it turns out. Upon their return to Sweden, the two reporters, while naturally critical of the Ethiopian regime, spared no words in their critique of Sweden. Schibbiye, for example, had this to say:
"Relations between Sweden and Ethiopia have never been as good as they are now. After having imprisoned two Swedish journalists for 14 months, some kind of reconciliation has taken place. We are in a new phase and H&M and Ikea will be starting up there (in Ethiopia)."
Schibbye also noted in a recent public lecture in Uppsala that he and Persson were told by Swedish officials that there was no way the Swedish government would sacrifice their relations with Ethiopia over their case, no matter how blatant the injustice (hence the suggestion that the two men falsely "confess"). And, Johan Persson made note of how treatment of journalists and whistleblowers in the supposedly "developed" world helped to justify their treatment:
"This double-standard… just look at the USA where whisteblowers are chased all over the world and threatened with life in prison. That is the problem. Ethiopia can always say, 'We are no worse than you'."
While their imprisonment and release garnered much attention, their critique of the relationship between Swedish diplomacy and economic interests in an authoritarian regime did not. Interestingly, and perhaps lesser-known, is the fact that the journalists were in Ethiopia to investigate allegations of human rights abuses by the Sweden-based Lundin Petrolium.
Undemocratic thuggery
The Persson/Schibbye case is one of many in recent years where international authoritarianism is viewed by media in, for example, Europe and the United States with a superior, disapproving shake of the head, while domestic or regional rights violations (or turning a blind eye to such violations in "allied" states) are often dismissed as exceptions which prove the democratic rule.
Jailing journalists for 14 months? Undemocratic thuggery. Negotiating with those same undemocratic officials to further privately-owned economic interests? Good diplomacy.
Persson's point about Snowden - which can also be made about Chelsea Manning, Barrett Brown and Jeremy Hammond- is key: The imprisonment and threatened imprisonment of individuals who have blown the whistle on perceived injustices not only undermines the credibility of the governments who pursue these people, it also calls into question the consistency of media which lament a lack of democratic values in Country X while significant violations take place, in relative media silence, in their own Backyard Y.
This is not to say that the presence of a functional Guantanamo prison - in any way - justifies the killing of 88 protesters in Ukraine. Nor does it suggest that coverage of Kiev, Gezi, Cairo or Rio is de facto inaccurate because the death penalty does not get enough critical press in the US.
But, as I noted in a piece on Turkey, those engaged in the suppression of democratic rights often point to both journalists and politicians in Europe and US and accuse them of double-standards. And we have provided them with that ammunition. Sweden is not Ethiopia, but pretending that they have nothing in common does no one any favours.
I have also made the argument that one of the problems with coverage of recent global protests has been a short-term perspective: When the images are hot and sexy, there is attention (for a good discussion on "disaster porn" in relation to Ukraine, see the piece by Sarah Kendzior and reaction from Emily Bell), but when the far less sexy long-term process of democratisation begins, media attention fades.
This leaves us with images of Brazil, Turkey, Egypt and Ukraine as rooted in protest and violence, divorced from any semblance of progress. But there is more. These images are enhanced and solidified by an unwillingness to confront, in a comprehensive fashion, our own violent, anti-democratic tendencies - from drones to weapons exports to the death penalty.
This unwillingness allows us to take a position of righteous indignation rife with hypocrisy.

Federal Grants Target DNA Backlog In Kansas
KANSAS CITY, KAN. – Two federal grants totaling more than $500,000 are targeted at reducing the backlog in DNA testing for Kansas law enforcement agencies, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation will receive $319,064 from the National Institute of Justice and the Justice Department's Office of Justice Programs, Grissom said. In addition, Johnson County will receive $247,374. The grants are for the purpose of helping state and local governments reduce DNA backlogs and DNA sample turnaround time.
"Forensic DNA analysis is an important tool in law enforcement," Grissom said. "It can be used to implicate or eliminate a suspect and solve cases that had previously been thought of as unsolvable. The demand for DNA testing continues to grow and crime laboratories are struggling to keep up."
For more information on the DNA backlog, see the Office of Justice Programs' fact sheet at:
For more information about the grants, contact the Office of Justice Program's Office of Communications at 202-307-0703.

Malaysians have been enjoying durian for many generations. Besides eating them fresh, durian can be made into traditional dishes as well as modern dishes. The combination of durian and chocolate in making 'durian truffles', for instance, has somehow signified a modernised feature of a gourmet food product. The application of durian in truffles (a ganache which consists a mixture of chocolate and fresh cream) as western dessert origin is viewed as new discovery resulted from the amalgamation of 'East meet West' culinary. Durian truffles manifest authentic luxury in a localized chocolate product due to the rich durian flavour mixed with cream and combined with a mixture of cooking chocolate forming a smooth velvety texture. Durian truffles as a product of culinary refinement are ideally served as petite four for cocktail parties.

UPDATE: Bass Pro Plans Store at Gateway Town Center in Little Rock
by Lance Turner
Posted 6/15/2012 09:34 am
Updated 2 years ago
Little Rock developer Tommy Hodges has cast his line again and landed the big fish.
Bass Pro Shops, an outdoor supplies retailer, announced Friday that it will be part of Hodges' southwest Little Rock retail development, Gateway Town Center.
"We have reached a firm agreement and will start infrastructure work later this summer with the new 120,000-SF store, expected to open in time for Christmas next year," Hodges said in a Bass Pro Shops news release. "I am just as pleased and excited as I can be because I feel there is no other retailer in America like Bass Pro Shops."
The retailer said the store "will attract tourists and travelers with its convenient location and will initially generate at least 250 jobs."
Hodges' Gateway Town Center is planned for a 169-acre site off Interstate 30 and Interstate 430 at Otter Creek. That land has been the site of various proposed developments through the years, and at one point was the proposed site for the 120-acre Otter Creek Mall.
In an interview with ArkansasBusiness.com, Hodges said Bass Pro will build its Little Rock store with private money -- an approach different from previous development attempts that anticipated public money and government incentives, as had worked for Bass Pro Shops in different markets.
The Bass Pro Shops will occupy 30 acres of the development. An "upscale outlet mall" is planned for another 30 acres of the site. The mall will follow about a year behind the opening of the Bass Pro Shops, he said.
Hodges said the timing was finally "just right" for Bass Pro to build a store in Arkansas, a state he said is "noticeably absent" from the outdoor and hunting supply retailer's footprint.
Hodges said 100,000 cars per day drive by the Gateway site, making the area a key regional destination that will draw customers from at least 50 miles away.
"We have been hoping for a store in Little Rock for a long time and, thanks to Tommy Hodges we believe we have found the best location possible," Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops, said in a news release.
"We are very excited to bring Bass Pro Shops to Little Rock and committed to give our long time customers an unforgettable shopping experience at our newest generation store which will be located next to a beautiful 5-acre lake."
Another Go-Round
The Gateway Town Center marks the latest attempt by a central Arkansas real estate developers to lure Bass Pro Shops to the region.
In 2003, Belz-Burrow Development Group announced plans to develop what was originally billed as an $80 million retail complex on a swath of wetlands on the south side of Interstate 40 near the Lakewood exit in North Little Rock.
The 71-acre Shoppes at North Hills was to host a 850,000-SF upscale shopping center, a multiscreen cinema complex and a Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World store.
The project was scheduled to be complete in fall 2004, with other phases of the development complete by spring 2005. But developers scuttled the project after tangling with environmentalists over redeveloping the wetlands.
The project also drew controversy over the developers' request for tax increment financing assistance. TIF reroutes increased property taxes from new development back to the developers rather than to schools and city government. Some observers decried what they considered the misuse of tax money, and Bass Pro's competing retailers objected to what they considered an unfair subsidy.
Hodges had already angled for the Bass Pro before Belz-Burrow announced their plans. His proposal would have given Bass Pro land for the store at the Gateway Town Center site, provided the state deliver a fitting package of tax incentives.
Shane Broadway, then a state senator from Bryant, introduced a bill in the Arkansas Legisture to give certain retailers the type of sales tax credits previously available only to tourist attractions, but the bill stalled in committee.

AIG Gets $30B More in Government Help
Updated from 1:14 p.m. EST
American International Group (AIG) confirmed widespread reports on Monday by reporting a huge quarterly loss and saying the government will provide additional aid to keep the insurance giant solvent.
The Treasury Department has created a new $30 billion equity capital facility in exchange for non-cumulative preferred stock in AIG, in addition to the $150 billion it has already lent the insurer. The Treasury and the Federal Reserve also outlined a massive restructuring plan for AIG's existing debt, easing up on terms and accepting payment in the form of preferred stakes in relatively healthy subsidiaries.
The new plan was unveiled as AIG reports a record fourth-quarter loss of $61.7 billion, or $22.95 a share. Those results compare with a loss of $5.3 billion, or $2.08 a share, a year earlier, and drastically fell short of estimates. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters, on average, forecast a loss estimate of 37 cents a share on revenue of $24.82 billion.

Buyers often say and do things when dealing with sellers that can cost them the deal or cause the sellers to dig in their heels and cut off negotiations. You can use the following dos and don'ts as you look at homes and talk to sellers. Don't badmouth a home as you walk through it. […]
Archive for October, 2011
Mistake #4: Alienating the Sellers, Thereby Losing the Deal
Mistake #3: Buying a Home Before You have Sold Your Current One Part (2)
Unfortunately, their old home needed some work to make it saleable, and Robert and Andrea were unwilling to put time or money into it because they were focused on their new home. But when their new home was finished and ready to close, their other home hadn't sold—or even had an offer.
Mistake #3: Buying a Home Before You have Sold Your Current One
If you own a home and sign a purchase or construction agreement on another one before you have sold your current home, things can get sticky. Some homeowners hope they'll be lucky and sell their house before the deadline.
Mistake #2: Failing to Get Your Ducks in a Row before Committing Part (2)
In the end, they were unable to cover both the down payment and the remaining lease payments, and as a result they lost both the house and their deposit. In a similar lease situation, rather than have the deal fall through, the sellers offered to pay the buyer's three months of remaining rent.
Mistake #2: Failing to Get Your Ducks in a Row before Committing
Many home buyers looking for their first home, and owners moving up to newer homes as well, cause themselves unnecessary stress and financial loss because they haven't been organized about the process.
Mistake #1: Attempting to Get the Best Deal by Waiting for Home Prices or Interest Rates to Bottom Out Part (2)
That means a payment of $1,648.76 on $275,000 at 6 percent jumps $89.43 at 6.5 percent. To compensate for the increased interest you'll be paying, you would have to get the sellers to reduce their price another $10,000, which is unlikely. When you factor in the loss from not having the tax breaks of home […]
Mistake #1: Attempting to Get the Best Deal by Waiting for Home Prices or Interest Rates to Bottom Out
Buyers frequently ask Realtors when the best time is to buy a home. Most experienced agents and mortgage lenders agree that you should buy a home: When you're tired of renting and want to own a home of your own.

Remember Me
Icon welcomes individuals and organisations from all backgrounds who identify with the conservation and preservation of our cultural heritage. Our membership embraces the entire conservation community as well as members of the public who are keen to learn more or show their support for conservation work.
Conservation of the cultural heritage is a fascinating and rewarding career - linking arts, science, history and craft. The scope of conservators' work has widened in recent years and conservators now expect to be involved with exhibitions, conservation science, preventive conservation, project management and advocacy work. There are a variety of entry routes; for many the first step is an academic course at one of the institutions listed in the conservation Higher Education Course Directory. Conservation graduates can expect to work in the public or private sector and to start on relatively low rates of pay, often less than £22,000. (ref. our salary guidelines here). The majority of Higher Education courses focus on conservation of fine art (paper and paintings) or objects and archaeology. In fields such as stained glass, furniture, textiles and books, formal academic conservation training does exist but is rare. For materials such as stone, large metalwork, archives or natural history no courses exist and so work-based development is an alternative route: an internship or apprenticeship, following training in the relevant craft or technology. The basics needed to enter the profession are manual dexterity, a good general education, preferably including Chemistry, an enthusiasm for history, art or science and some evidence of a committment to a career in this field: related work or voluntary experience, membership of Icon, proof that you have informed yourself about conservation.
The red menu above left will take you to training courses, internships and other placement opportunities. Sources of grant-aid for training are listed, as well as information on and resources for monitoring your learning process. Links to PACR are on the Accreditation page.

- New players: this is the serie where you are when you begin on Funbridge.
- Non premium : this is the serie of non premium players.
At the end of each period, we calculate the series. You can move up to a higher serie, move down or be held in your serie at each end of period.
How to being moved down to a lower serie:
- Do not play the minimum number of tournaments required to be ranked:
To be ranked, you have to play at least 5 tournaments series on the current period. As long as you have not played 5 tournaments, you are not ranked (noted NC) in your series.
Any Premium player who did not play 5 tournaments in his series during the current period goes down in the lower group.
- Have a low ranking: the number of players who are downgraded from a series is equal to 20% of the number of players in this serie.
Example: if you are in 4 et there are 100 players in this serie. At the end of the period, 20 players will be moved down from the 4 serie to the 4 serie.
How to being held in your serie:
- Have played the minimum number of tournaments required to be classified (5 in all series except Elite Series where 25 series tournaments are required to be classified)
- Do not be classified in the last 20% (of the total number of players in the series) of your serie.
- Special case: a player Premium during the whole the period and who does not connect to Funbridge during this one doesn't move down of series (except for the Elite series). Players in this situation are not counted in the 20% of players who go down.
How to being moved up to a higher serie::
- Having played the minimum number of tournaments required to qualify for the rise of series (25 except in 4 serie, Not premium serie, and new players serie where only 5 tournaments are enough)
- Have a nice ranking: the number of players moving up to the upper serie is equal to 20% of the number of players in this upper serie.
Example: you are in 4 and there are 100 players in 4 serie: 20 players will move from 4 to 4.
Of couse, you can not move down from 4 serie, or move up from Elite serie.
A new player on Funbridge is ranked in the New Players serie. He will be moved in a real serie (1 for the best) function of his ranking in this serie at the end of the period if he has played at least 5 series tournaments.
Not Premium players (expired subscription) are automatically moved to Not Premium serie at the end of the period. If a Non Premium member in the Not Premium serie who subscribe, will moved to a real serie function of his ranking at the end of the period like he was in New players serie.
Awards :
A bonus system rewards players who have played the highest number of competition tournaments. For each 10 tournaments played, the 2 tournaments getting the worst percentage are not count. (Example: the 4 worst among your 20 tournaments and not the 2 worst among the first 10 tournaments and the 2 worst among the following 10 tournaments)

My baby just spit up a tiny bit if curdled milk with a reddish tinge to it. Is this common with breastfeeding? It hurts for about 30 seconds when she latches on, so I've been using cream, but it's possible my nipples are cracked. There's no blood on the pads, but I try to air dry before adjusting the padding.
I'm trying not to overreact, but was hoping to hear of some similar experiences.

Thursday, May 30. Source: Global Justice Ecology Project
Asheville, NC – Three demonstrators were brutally arrested today at the controversial Tree Biotechnology 2013 conference. They attempted to use GMO caution tape to wrap a bus full of conference participants headed for an upscale dinner at the Biltmore Estate. Dozens more groaning zombie "franken-tree" protesters banged pots and pans and chanted anti-genetically engineered tree slogans.
Will Bennington, a campaigner with Global Justice Ecology Project and the Campaign to STOP GE Trees, was one of those arrested for blockading the buses. Bennington said, "We're blocking the buses because these conference attendees are on their way to dinner at the Biltmore Estate. Built by the Vanderbilts, the Biltmore is a symbol of the wealthy and powerful, and one of the birthplaces of industrial forestry in the US, which wiped out forests from coast to coast. The tree biotechnology industry is continuing this destructive legacy. They plan to cut down native forests and replace them with GE tree plantations grown solely for the profit of the elite at the expense of local communities and biodiversity."
Protesters are demanding a ban on the release of GE trees into the environment. South Carolina-based ArborGen, a major conference sponsor, has a request pending with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to release millions of genetically engineered eucalyptus trees annually for planting in vast plantations across the US South.
On Monday, two Asheville residents were arrested after invading the conference and disrupting the opening day. On Tuesday, hundreds of people marched through the streets and rallied outside the conference hotel as conference participants took part in a workshop on the future of forest biotechnology. It was the largest anti-GE tree protest to date.
Wednesday, the conference organizers had planned a field trip for conference participants but it was canceled due to the threat of protests.
A local woman with Katuah Earth First!, one of those arrested today said, "Trees should not be burned for fuel – this is a false solution to climate change. Monoculture plantations for bioenergy are already displacing Indigenous Peoples and local communities all over the world, and they will have a major impact on rural livelihoods and biodiversity here in the US South."
She continued, "GE trees like ArborGen's highly flammable, water-intensive and invasive eucalyptus would be especially devastating to our communities in the face of drought and extreme weather due to climate change."
The Tree Biotechnology 2013 conference, taking place in Asheville from 26 May to 1 June, is the premier international conference on GE trees, organized by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO).

text: A few weeks after celebrating his 85th birthday, veteran crooner Tony Bennett hit another milestone. ''Body and Soul,'' his tag-team effort with Amy Winehouse that appears on his just-released Duets II, entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 87, officially making Bennett the oldest artist ever to find a place on that list. In fact, the appearance of ''Body and Soul'' on the Hot 100 (which is based on a complicated formula involving digital downloads, physical sales, and radio airplay) wound up snagging Bennett a handful of unusual records. The 44 years since his last chart appearance is the longest ever for a solo artist, and the time between his first and last appearances is now the greatest ever, thanks to the boon of having been on the very first Hot 100, published in 1958. ''To have that happen at 85 is wonderful,'' Bennett recently told EW about the attention he's receiving for Duets II. ''When you're young and this happens, you can get into a lot of trouble, because it happens too fast.''

Hawaii Five-0 Review: Return of The Bromanceby Jim Garner at . Comments
"Kupale:" Defender.
After the departure of Lori last week, fans got reminded here of what Danny and Steve do best: The Bromance!
There were more bromantic banter in this episode than there has been this entire season. Starting from the first moment when Steve came home; to the numerous car scenes; all the way to discussing Gaby and Grace at the restaurant; there was almost too much, if that's even possible.
'Speaking of Steve coming home, why do they insist on making Danny a bad house guest? I'm pretty sure Danny would never have put a dog in Steve's room. At most Steve was only gone for two weeks for his yearly reserve duty; is it even possible for Danny to trash Steve's house that much in that time period if he had tried even a little to keep it clean?
My wife pointed out that in all the places they have shown Danny stay on his own, he has never been a slob, yet this week Steve walked into a kitchen fire, clothes were everywhere and a dog was in his bed. Really???
That frustrating mystery aside, the rest of the episode between Danny and Steve was great. We haven't gotten this much bonding time since last season. I especially enjoyed Danny checking with everyone to make sure they were coming to dinner. While I suspected this was a setup for Gaby to meet Grace, it was still very sweet the way they were out making a butterfly in the sand.
Sadly, my enjoyment ended with the bromance. First, the case was clichéd - how many times have we seen the "business partner killed the victim over making more money" story? (Okay, it being a boat business was new.) Second, they again used a well-known actor to play the murderer. This time, they got Patrick Fabian to play Tony, the business partner. Fabian plays a jerk so often that the moment they showed him on screen, both my wife and I tagged him as the culprit.
Then, you had the well-publicized guest appearance of Apolo Ohno. While I'm thrilled they finally had someone who was Hawaiian to guest star on the show, he barely rated five minutes of screen time. That's barely longer than the commercial that mentioned him. I thought we were past the over-hyped-under-used guest stars bit.
Lastly, we had our "chase of the week" in the form of Kevin Creed on a motorcycle with the "running out of road towards water" trope. Have I mention there were clichés in this episode? With the incredible setting of Hawaii, you would think they could find a better ending to a chase than bumping the motorcycle off the dock into the water.
In conclusion, for all of us that have been missing the bromance, I'm thrilled they gave us a super-sized "catch up" dose this week. My only request is that it get tempered with some original story ideas too? I promise we won't jump ship if you break out of the mold. Just look at how much we loved last week!

Alex is sick. For the last few episodes he has looked gaunt, dark. Ir les under eyes, has had weight loss and looking very tired. Now it has been confirmed as to why that is. I wish him well on his road to re overly from addiction to pain pills.
@zia..your welcome. It was not you, it was that particular page that would not work. And a big YES he looks good. He looks fantastic. I take back that I thought he was looking too thin cause he does not in that pic. And I was surpised how good scott looked. Alex is still better though, :) :) Cannot wait for that epi now!!
I loved the last scene, it reminded me of all those Ohana bonding moments in season 1 after cases, makes five-0 feel just that much more realistic
@Amazingalex......thanks that one works. I'm just not very computer savvy.
Alex looks great doesn't he, and Scott is not too shabby either. Hopefully once this episode airs next month, they can put this to rest.
@Kelly....I'm glad you are giving us a different perspective, all of us see things differently. However, I think that Steve going up on the roof and tossing in the tear gas canister was exactly what the character would have done. Remember the shark tank and grenade from the first season. He has always done these type of things. This season maybe not so much, but there is a new governor that he has to contend with. I'll agree that we saw a different side of him on the last scene in 2.17, but no person I know is one dimensional. Characters and people change and grow, as do the relationships we have with friends and family. We don't act the same 24 hours a day. The carguments show that they have a human side, they are not robots, they have feelings and care. I hope that they keep this up. There has to be more serious and darker episodes, but they need to mix it up. If I did not like it I would watch something else.
Yes indeed certain companys use focus groups to get feed back and gauge reaction to their products, but they don't just use one group, they use MANY foucs groups in their surveys. And in many instances you will find that each group can have a totally different reaction or opinion to the product. I work in sales and marketing and focus groups are pretty much a thing of the past because of their inconsistancy and inaccuracy.
gaella@ " His personality is the tightly wound serious focused guy and he was all expansive and yelling and calling Kono "Hey you"....what was up with that?" I totally agree that Steve was acting weird here and to me he has been out of character for the last couple of episodes. I've no idea what the writers are trying to do with his character but this edgy and loud Steve or the cavalier Steve who climbed up on the roof is nothing like the focused Steve from previous episodes. The car arguments were forced and not a bit funny and again Steve was acting like some pushy idiot. They seem to be trying to reverse the roles between Danny and Steve. Its as if they don't have a clue as to the characters they've created already. These comedy type episodes don't work for me because they turn the characters into silly caricatures of themselves. The show needs to decide what kind of show it is and try and bring some consistancy to the characters.
Loved the bromance but I feel like they are forcing the 'girlfriend' thing IMO. Loved the reenactment and all the guys in costume! Yummy! :) I agree, I don't think Danny would treat Steve's house in that manner or let the dog sleep in his bed. LOVE Lori being G-O-N-E!!!!
The rest of the guest casts has been released:
GUEST CAST James Caan …………………………. Tony Archer
Dennis Miller ……………………… Bobby Raines
Elpidio Ebuen …………………………. Len Marks
David Stanley ……………………….. Miles Rogers
Heather Sossaman ………………. Brandi Raines
Ben Bledsoe ………………………….. Todd Dutton
Jimmy Borges …………………………. Mr. Zhang
Chad Yazawa ……………………………….. Dumb
Matty Wong ……………………………….. Dumber
Chris McGarry ………………………. Doug Leland
Tanya Clarke ……………………… Karen Whitfield Now when you have 2 guest casted as Dumb and Dumber, this is probably going to be another light hearted one. The more serious ones are probably for the May sweeps. I enjoy these, both Alex and Scott are really good at the comical relief stuff, with Papa Caan thrown in this should be good.
@gaella: I think that Steve *was* a bit buzzed at the end, but that worked for me. He's a wound-tight guy, as you say, but here he had his team around him, he's seeing the rookie develop into a fine cop, Danny (who is very important to him) is looking happy, he's just come back from spending time with Catherine, for just a small amount of time everything is right in Steve's world. With the people he trusts most in the world around him and happy, this is exactly when he might let go a bit, kick back and have a few beers. It makes me think about what Steve would have been like if his mom hadn't died and he'd lived a more 'ordinary' life.
