Egypt unrest: Army calls on protesters to go home
Egypt's army has called for protesters to return home and allow life to return to normal after nine days of anti-government demonstrations.
The call came amid continued pressure on President Hosni Mubarak to quit after a speech in which he pledged not to stand for re-election in September.
Many protesters vowed not to leave Cairo's Tahrir Square, saying Mr Mubarak's promise was not enough.
But thousands have also taken to Cairo's streets to support him.
Up to 2,000 anti-Mubarak demonstrators saw out a cold night in Tahrir Square, the epicentre of the protests, saying the president's pledge was insufficient and chanting: "We will not leave!". They want to see him deposed and punished.
On Tuesday, hundreds of thousands had protested across the country, the culmination of more than a week of demonstrations that have left about 300 people dead according to UN estimates.'Different step'
In its statement, the army - which is widely seen as an arbiter in the crisis - called for demonstrators to return to their homes.
It seems pretty clear Mr Mubarak's offer to stand down simply won't be enough to satisfy large sections of the opposition. Leaders are saying they will refuse to negotiate a political solution with him.
If the president had made this offer just a few days ago, the reaction might have been rather different, but after the shootings last Friday the mood is much fiercer. People are saying that if a week of demonstrations has pushed the president this far then there's every incentive to keep up the pressure on him.
President Mubarak's offer to stand down will cause shock waves right across the Middle East. Until recently the regime in Egypt seemed pretty much rock solid.
Now autocratic governments in North Africa right through to Yemen, Syria and maybe even Saudi Arabia will be looking for ways to buy off discontent at home.
"Your message has arrived, your demands became known... you are capable of bringing normal life to Egypt," said a spokesman in a message broadcast on state television.
Shortly afterwards, troops reportedly intervened to prevent pro-Mubarak protesters from marching into Tahrir Square and avoid a possible flare-up with the anti-government demonstrators camped out there.
In Tuesday night's speech, Mr Mubarak had promised to leave at the next polls, and pledged constitutional reform, saying he would devote his remaining time in power to ensuring a peaceful transition of power to his successor.
"This is my country. This is where I lived, I fought and defended its land, sovereignty and interests, and I will die on its soil," he said.
US President Barack Obama responded by saying an orderly transition "must begin now", while Turkey's PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Mr Mubarak should take a "different step".
Meanwhile, internet service was reportedly returning to the country, having been cut off for days by the government. State television also reported an easing of a nationwide curfew - with restricted hours from 1700-0700 (1500-0500GMT) rather than 1500-0800.
State media reported that parliament had been suspended until the results of last year's contested elections were revised. It added that the parliamentary speaker had called for Mr Mubarak's proposed constitutional reforms to be implemented within two-and-a-half months.
Opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei dismissed Mr Mubarak's move as "a trick" to stay in power, and Tahrir Square protesters have vowed to continue their demonstrations until Mr Mubarak quits.
Abdelhalim Kandil, leader of Egypt's Kifaya (Enough) opposition movement, said Mr Mubarak's offer not to serve a sixth term was not enough.
"I will tell you very simply that there is an unprecedented popular movement that rejects the presence of the president on a scope that has not been seen before, that is calling for the will of the people to be imposed," he said.
If Mr Mubarak does not step down, demonstrators have planned to march on the presidential palace.Win-win situation?
Some demonstrators said they did not trust their 82-year-old leader to enact the necessary constitutional changes.
"The speech is useless and only inflames our anger," one protester, Shadi Morkos, told Reuters. "We will continue to protest."
However, other Egyptians said they believed that Mr Mubarak's offer could be a suitable compromise.
Omneya Okasha, a resident from Alexandria, told the BBC she believed that sudden change could lead to "more drastic consequences".
"I find this a stable solution something that suits both sides - a win-win situation."

When you think of social media, you are likely to think of computers, mobile devices and sites like Facebook or Twitter. But there is one form that pre-dates it all - street art has been with us for centuries.Street art - graffiti - came before television, radio and the printing press and remains a powerful tool of communication. The medium was used to great effect during the Arab revolutions, acting as an indicator of what people in the street were saying.
Street art is the political warning sign that tends to appear and attract attention long before the activists actually hit the streets.
And while demonstrators may have gone back to their lives after the fall of a government, street artists remain, making the most out of their newfound freedom of expression and hoping that it lasts.In this week's feature, Listening Post's Meenakshi Ravi looks at political street art, the low-tech end of social media.

Moments after you toss on the comfortable Element Women's Finch Jacket, a songbird flies through your unscreened kitchen window. Not again, you think to yourself. What is it with this damn bird? Every time you throw on your hooded jacket with its classic toggle closures and get ready to leave the house, the songbird has to fly in looking for some bits of twine and twig. Hmmm … maybe he is eyeing the novelty buttons on your jacket.

I like it
I love the style and I love the way it fits. The only thing is that the hood is freakin enormous and in certain positions it looks kinda funny. But overall it's really nice and relatively warm. I love how one side is slightly longer than the other, it gives it character.
Element Finch Jacket
I really like the jacket its super warm and the hood is really really big so it stays on. the only thing i dont like is that the hooks to keep it closed are hard to do up because the loops arent big enough and one side of the jacket is waaaay longer than the other.

The pants are great but my only complaint is they are too long. When I'm walking around the parking lot, I have to hold up my pants with my hands to avoid them going under my boots. I'm 5'11 and 162 lbs and got the Mediums.
Overall, I love the pants.

TSA Partners With Flight Attendants On Security
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Association of Flight Attendants – CWA (AFA-CWA) today met with John Pistole, Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to discuss concerns about the enhanced screening processes and to consider establishing alternative screening systems for flight deck and cabin crew, including implementation of systems like CrewPASS at screening checkpoints.
At today's meeting members of AFA-CWA secured a commitment from TSA Administrator John Pistole that the agency would partner with AFA-CWA on aviation security. Administrator Pistole pledged, during a November 17, 2010 Senate testimony, that one of his three primary goals for the agency is to strengthen TSA's relationships with stakeholders and the traveling public.
"As first responders, the nation's flight attendants hold a primary stake in aviation security and are the last line of defense," said Veda Shook, incoming president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA.
Alternative screenings, such as Crew Pass identify authorized and trusted crew members at security screening checkpoints.The Crew Pass process utilizes established security clearances that each aviation employee clears as a condition of employment. Congress has directed that alternate screening methods include all crew members, including both flight attendants and pilots. "Alaska Airlines is in the process of working towards implementing an alternative system of security screening for flight attendants and pilots," Shook explained. "The program highlights the importance of all crew members working as a security team for the safety of the crew and traveling public. Alaska Airlines program can serve as a model for the rest of the aviation industry." For over 60 years, the Association of Flight Attendants has been serving as the voice for flight attendants in the workplace, in the aviation industry, in the media and on Capitol Hill. More than 42,000 flight attendants at 21 airlines come together to form AFA-CWA, the world's largest flight attendant union. AFA is part of the 700,000-member strong Communications Workers of America (CWAx), AFL-CIO. Visit us at www.afanet.org . SOURCE Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA)

Garbage In, Garbage Out: Why Smart Trafficking Matters So Much
"Marketer's Note" is a weekly column informing marketers about the rapidly evolving, digital marketing technology ecosystem. It is written by Joanna O'Connell, Director of Research, AdExchanger Research.
Last week, I had a wonderful conversation with an interactive lead at an independent agency as part of my ongoing "When and How to Take Programmatic In-House" research (for which I'll be presenting the findings at our September Programmatic I/O conference), which reminded me of the hugely important, but wildly undervalued, importance of well organized operational efforts in effective media programs.
What do I mean by that? Well in this instance, I'm talking specifically about naming conventions in campaign and placement set-up. What this agency executive told me was:
"Analytics and operations are inevitably tied together. The operations side of it is super important: what you traffic in is what you get out. You must be really methodical in how you traffic things – you've got to be able to codify it in some way shape or form – which publisher, what placement, which audiences. We have an ability to meta-organize the data because of the way we have folks setting things up."
This week's Marketer's Note is underwritten by Turn.
Forbes Insights and Turn Report: Get more out of your marketing and maintain customer trust. Visit www.Turn.com.
In other words, if you don't put garbage in, you won't get garbage out. You'll get intelligent, actionable cross-placement/media/client/agency data.
Back in my days with Razorfish's early trading desk ATOM Systems, my team felt this pain all the time – we would see major inconsistencies in how individual teams named placements from one campaign to the next. Forget about across teams. It made our jobs tough – from a reporting standpoint, certainly, and from a higher-level campaign optimization standpoint as well.
This comment really made me wonder how far we've come in the agency world – and I am talking both within a given agency and across an agency holding company – in creating the standardization in naming and campaign set-up that is a pre-requisite for the kind of meta-analysis this agency executive was talking about.
So, community, let me know – whether you're an agency person, a marketer working with an agency or a technology provider serving either – what are you seeing on the ground these days? Is there the kind of discipline in naming and campaign set-up that facilitates the rich analysis we all crave?

The fatal flaw in all naming conventions is that they are implemented by humans. Correction, fallible human beings. While embedding "350x200" in a name might be useful, better is correct integration with the delivering system and proper selection of creative size from the set up page. Even better then that? Automated tag-to-creative meta analysis of all tags and content delivered.
The agencies haven't quite caught all the way up, yet, but for publishers using our system, meta data, both aggregated from multi-sourced data warehouses and analyzed directly from delivered tags allows for proper slicing and dicing for business intelligence purposes regardless of naming conventions.
Of course, the publisher is in an even more chaotic situation than you were at Razorfish, they have their own internal naming convention to contend with along side the naming conventions of every agency they sell inventory to (remember, their picture isn't clear until they see all sides of the delivery metrics in most cases).
My observation? Naming conventions are better than none, but systems that provide you with the true details without relying on conventions are even better.
Ad-Juster, Inc.
A simple, yet astute observation on your part Joanna. I've seen several large agencies that leave naming up to the individual running the account. In my experience, most agencies worth their salt make some attempt at standardizing naming conventions. Compliance monitoring is where it often falls apart, particularly at large scale. The follow through has to include technology and process to monitor and address compliance to conventions across the enterprise.
Joanna - this headline brought back memories for me too. In my agency days our traffickers used to occasionally make notes to themselves in the ad server placement names (!). They didn't even realize that those notes would then come through reporting and interfere with analytics. Even a keystroke error in trafficking or a misspelling would cause hours of work every month to clean the data for analytics. Major frustration. My personal opinion is that no one should ever have to manually key any values into an ad server. The technology exists today to make this a reality - we just have to drive process to catch up with technology.

I had the same issue a while back for one a few of my domains. I did a combination of things.
1. I created a default catchall named: catchall
With this, the only mail that made it to the clients were ones addressed specifically to them. I also made sure the spam was enabled in ispconfig.
2. Second client didn't want a catchall so I set up rules for their email client that basically said "If the to: field is not
, or does not contain the email put it in the folder called 'possible spam' "
With the second solution all the mail was delivered but his inbox was clean with only email to him specifically... Then the folder Possible Spam oculd be looked through by him manually to see if anything of interest was in it...

Like Samurai Warriors? So did I. If you've played Oichi until all fell in her path; if you've run Keiji through every level a thousand times, maybe it's time for a few new characters. Just like the Dynasty Warriors Extreme Legends titles, this game is a mere extension of Samurai Warriors. Fortun...more

Just to clarify to MrJoshL, we don't really "choose" what implementation to use (unless we want to force software rendering and we explicitly do so)
If we want hardware acceleration (aka get access to GPU), we'll just load the OpenGL implementation that is installed in the system (for NVIDIA cards, it's NVIDIA's, for ATI cards, it's ATI's). Since they're implementations, they implement everything they're supposed to, otherwise we would get a crash or a "cannot load routine from library" error and exit.
In Windows, the OGL system is called OpenGL "ICD" (Installable Client Driver). When the driver (ati, nvidia, intel, sis, s3, powervr, 3dfx, etc) didn't provide an OpenGL implementation, the application will be routed to a software implementation developed by Microsoft which is very outdated (supports 1.1 spec) so if you're using something higher, your application it will just fail to load (it's as if DirectX wouldn't be installed for Direct3D games)
When the driver did provide the implementation, the ICD will route to the driver's DLL.
In Linux, something very similar happens. Most distros ship the Mesa software implementation (which is usually very up to date), and if you install proprietary drivers, the installation messes with distro's folders & symbolic links to use the driver's OGL implementation instead of Mesa's.
Every now and then the installer (either driver's or distro's package manager) may mess the installation and try to mix Mesa dlls with driver's and X11 will crash when launching a GL application (been there....... multiple times). The situation has improved a lot though, in the last couple of years.
In Mac, I have no idea how it works, but afaik Apple controls the implementation being shipped.
You can of course ship your game with Mesa DLLs (since it's the only implementation I'm aware of that could be licensed for that) and always use Mesa's implementation, but almost nobody would like to do that.
GLUT & FreeGLUT are layers that simplify the creation of a GL context, and may deal with all this trouble (i.e. not having the right ICD installed, not having required GL version, loading extensions, etc) because this is all messing with DLL & function loading that has nothing to do with rendering triangles to the screen.
Edit: We just want to load the installed implementation and start rendering with hardware acceleration.

El Centro nursing for spring 2010
- 0Oct 15, '09 by Miya7272Hi guys!
I'm just wondering is there anybody who applied to El Centro nursing program for 2010??
Did you guys get letters? what's your GPA? .
I have 3.73 GPA (I have B on AnP1) and I was waiting a letter to see if I got in but I guess I didn't get in cuz today is the date that you will get the letter whether or not you get in right?
Please share your information! Thank you!
- 0Oct 15, '09 by Organic MistletoeI thought today was the day they send out all the letters.
But... I could be wrong................
I didn't get anything either in the mail...
Now I'm really nervous...
But how would they make sure when we receive the letters??
Wouldn't it make more sense that they make sure the letters go out on the same day?? just my thought...
anyone else who applied???
by the way, I don't know why they don't just email the results like Brookhaven...
- 0Oct 15, '09 by futuremrsjohnsonHello everyone,
Today is the day that the letters were mailed. We should start getting our letters tomorrw. I have a 3.68 so you have a better chance getting in than I do Lets just hope that we both get in! Post tomorrw if you get your letter and I will too. GOOD LUCK!!!!
- 0Oct 15, '09 by Organic MistletoeI will post when I get the letter...
Let's hope we all get in and see each other soon~~!!!
- 0Oct 16, '09 by bradibearI applied to both El Centro and Brookhaven. I applied to El Centro with a 3.07 (took Algebra 10 years ago and got a C and didn't retake for higher grade) so I am pretty confident I won't be getting into El Centro. I applied to Brookhaven with 31.42 points so I feel more confident about getting in there; we'll see. Letters went out yesterday so everyone should be getting them today or tomorrow. I am not nervous because I am already expecting the rejection letter. Best of luck to everyone...anyone else apply to Brookhaven? If so, how many points did you have?
- 0Oct 16, '09 by futuremrsjohnsonSo I waited for the mailman and my letter didnt come today. I live in Rowlett so I am a little bit out of town. I know for a fact that you get a letter whether you get in or not so we should all be expecting something. If you get in please post your GPA if you dont mind so I know my chances
- 0Oct 16, '09 by Miya7272I haven't checked my mail yet cuz i'm still in school. anyway, I called northlake nursing department and said that all letters were sent out yesterday, so we will get the letters anytime soon.
and Id. Bradibear! Hi! I didn't apply to brookhave nursing but I have a couple of friends who applied to nursing in brookhaven college. and I think you have high possiblity of getting into nursing program there. cuz what I heard from students, if you have over 30points, there's positive chance to get in. so, I think you have pretty much stable points for brookhaven nursing. I think brookhaven let you know through E-mail right? I hope you have good news soon! Good luck!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

"Fantastic place for a whole day out what's more is…"
Fantastic place for a whole day out what's more is its absolutely free even the parking.
Bushy Park has a huge diversity of activities for the family to do. There is a wonderful playground that includes a sandpit, great climbing frames and a fab slide - it suits all age groups. There is even an area with shade for days that are hot. Only drawback is the toilets need to be cleaned more frequently and in the school holidays it gets very busy so worth getting there before 11. If you don't fancy the playground you can cycle safely or visit the enclosed gardens. The final bonus is you get to see the deer roaming freely around!Read moreLess

Domotechnica 2006
Domotechnica 2006: Exhibitor Highlights
A sign of industry tradition, European appliance trade show Domotechnica 2006 is set to take place Feb. 13-16, 2006 in Cologne, Germany.
Scheduled to take place every 2 years in Cologne, Domotechnica-the International Trade Fair for Household Appliances-is again carrying on the tradition as one of the largest appliance and component shows after breaking away from a collaborative effort with CECED, the European appliance association and Messe Berlin GmbH.
According to show organizers Koelnmesse GmbH, 86 product categories have been registered to occupy the estimated 80,000 square m of halls 10 and 11 of the Koelnmesse fair grounds and include air-conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, and built-in kitchen units. As of press time, 40 countries were represented, including Italy, Germany, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, China, Egypt, Russia, and the U.S.
"By attending Domotechnica, exhibitors will be able to set up their activities in existing markets and pave the way for entering new ones," Wolfgang Kranz, executive vice president of Koelnmesse, said at a press conference. "The broad product range at Domotechnica 2006 will provide the domestic and international specialist trade with an opportunity to examine its own product spectrum and to take on new products and ideas."
With around 50 percent of exhibitors based in Europe, the show is set to re-establish a biannual tradition with new ideas and has taken the slogan "Back to the Future." The German Design Council, in cooperation with Koelnmesse, is holding a design exhibition named E-Selection Domotechnica that will include expert lectures and a competition that will judge products on lifestyle, design and trends.
With show organizers anticipating a successful return, only time will tell if industry agrees. "We firmly believe that Domotechnica 2006 will be the right step at the right time into the world of tomorrow," Kranz says. "What's more, we are also convinced that we will achieve our goal of offering the international household appliance industry a central communication platform once again."

AB Volvo (ADR) (NASDAQOTH:VOLVY)
An international transport equipment group with a worldwide marketing organization and production. Its business areas are: Volvo Trucks, Renault Trucks and Mack Trucks, Buses, Construction Equipment, Volvo Penta, Volvo Aero and Financial Services.
Quick, name 10 car brands. Were any of them Volvo? If they were, would you have thought of it if you hadn't just seen the name as the title for this snippet? We didn't think so. In the United States, Volvo currently owns a tiny 0.3% of the market share for automobiles. Its products offer nothing special, competing in the midsize near-luxury segment along with basically every other car manufacturer under the sun. The only thing it consistently has to brag about is safety but in a country with strict safety regulations, this doesn't give it much headway with consumers.While Volvo has never been a popular car in the United States, it doesn't appear to be very popular around the world either. Having moved its home base from Sweden to China in 2010 when Zhejiang Geely Holding acquired it, dealerships have been committing fraud in the company's new home by inflating numbers to gain cash incentives meant for customers. With a corporate culture like this, we're surprised Volvo has survived the last 4 years.

Burzynski Patient Chase S's Story
Chase was diagnosed with a diffuse pontine glioma, a tumor in the brainstem that is very difficult to treat and is nearly universally fatal within 2 years. We'll pick up the story in Memphis at St. Jude's, where he had a biopsy and where the family has learned that Chase will be eligible for treatment at Burzynski's Clinic. They were offered treatments at UMass and Duke, but they went to Burzynski first:
"By the time we left Memphis, we had received confirmation that Chase would qualify for entry directly in the trial that we were interested in at the Burzynski Institute in Houston. They gave us an appointment for this coming Tuesday morning to go over the details of the program, and if we choose to proceed, he can begin treatments right away. In order to prepare for this, we were able to schedule a procedure at our local hospital (Beaumont) for Monday morning to install a port / shunt in his chest for the treatments to be administered. The therapy developed by Dr. Burzynski (anti-neoplastons) is rather non-conventional but seems to have a lot of promise for this exact type of condition with minimal side-effects (no long-term physical deficits)."
They initially might have had a difficult time finding a place to stay because refugees from Hurricane Katrina had been arriving in Houston, but they were set up in an apartment:
After their first visit to the Burzynski Clinic, they make a decision boggles the mind for anyone who is on the outside of the situation:
"We have an appointment with MD Anderson in the morning, and unless they come up with some major dissuading information, we'll keep the "traditional approach" in our back pocket as we head into the Burzynski clinic to get started with the first treatment in the afternoon."
The decision has been made. The boy has a tube placed in his chest for the administering of the ANP, and he will carry a backpack which has a drug pump forcing ANP into his system for most of the day everyday.
The appointment at MD Anderson goes as you would expected. The doctors, it sounds like, tried to dissuade the family from making a devastating mistake, but they failed:
"The most pleasant surprise about the MDA meeting was that they weren't too offended when we mentioned that we were investigating alternative therapies, including the Burzynski Clinic. Although they didn't expressly recommend it, they couldn't really provide any legitimate reasons why we shouldn't pursue it. They indicated that although Burzynski had been reporting successful treatments for quite some time, they hadn't seen any of his studies published for "peer review". I happened to have a copy of his Phase II trial study on me, which had been published in Drugs R&D in 2003, and reported very high rates of "complete response" (total remission) and partial response (> 50% reduction), with the majority of participants falling into one of these categories and another 30% having stabilized. They thought these would certainly be very promising statistics if they were in fact for patients with this specific condition (which the report indicated). To that, they simply said they weren't aware of the results and whether it had been subject to "peer review" (pretty remarkable, given that these practices are < ½ hour drive apart). They also wondered whether some of the reported results from the Burzynski studies were based upon "residual effects" from the radiation that patients had previously received – I didn't bother rebutting this, but from reading the study, it was clear that the patients who underwent radiation were required to wait at least 8 weeks before starting on antineoplastins (probably to remove this specific potential argument)."
What is not said here is that a Phase II trial alone cannot determine efficacy. It may suggest efficacy–its outcomes may justify scaling up the trials–but the gold standard is a peer-reviewed, controlled, published Phase III clinical trial, something that Burzynski, in 30 years of "tests" has never once completed, which puts him in the running for the Worst Researcher Ever Award. What these physicians are saying is that Burzynski is a quack. The family, I hate to say it, are shutting out things that they don't want to hear.
Througout, Chase has discovered that in exchange for cooperation in the unpleasant business of being a cancer patient, he can charge his parents money for his blood. Very clever guy!
In September, we see that the family is opting for a whole arrangement of dubious therapies. It's uncertain that Chase is getting any meaningful treatment at all at this point, which is distressing to see even all these years later:
We also got a return call from the Nutritional Specialist (Jeanne Wallace) who completed her report and is expressing it to us so we can have a consultation and begin the ongoing monitoring process, with her reviewing Chase's bloodwork a couple times a week. She agreed with our decision to combine the anti-neoplastins with the homeopathic remedy as well as ongoing nutrition monitoring to boost Chase's immune system. Overall, she's very comfortable with the plan and doesn't see any conflicting issues with the treatments. Chase will begin taking the homeopathic remedy, RUTA 6 and Cal Phos, this weekend after a couple more days of the antineoplastins.
On Tuesday 6th, we get a report of the sort of care I've read so much about since starting this project. This time, the tech can't tell that the pump has been malfunctioning:
During Chase's appointment for the ANP treatment today, we discovered that the IV pump has been malfunctioning (as I suspected yesterday, in reviewing the prior days output, but was shrugged off by the tech). The output cycle today confirmed that only about ½ the dosage programmed was administered for the prior two days.
And then we get to the point where Deepak Chopra ends up on my eternal shit list:
The most important thing is that Chase continues to be in great spirits and is cooperating fully. The doctors at the Burzynski are quite impressed with his progress and quite optimistic about the results that we'll be able to achieve. We're also making great progress with the homeopathic remedy that we received from India (Ruta 6 and Cal Phos). Chase has been following it as prescribed for nearly a week and he finally gets the fact that it's not that hard to let things dissolve under your tongue if you just put them there and forget about em for a few minutes. This simple remedy has reportedly achieved 8 out of 9 complete remissions at the clinic in Calcutta that we corresponded with. We also spoke directly with Deepak Chopra (world renowned leader in holistic medicine) on Friday evening and he was quite supportive of our approach – he really wouldn't change anything with what we're doing, other than to recommend a couple of specific approaches to meditation / prayer, which we're anxious to use.
Deepak Chopra?!?! The guy can't form a coherent sentence! All the alt meddlers with their hands in the pockets of the needy are revolting. There's no science, no medicine in this tale so far. It's so frustrating watching this from afar and knowing what happens. I keep having to remind myself that they couldn't have known, but they are totally dazzled by the appeal to nature.
On the other hand, Chase seems like my kind of kid!
On a side note, since Chase has been eating so many fruits and vegetables lately, naturally he's been having increasing amounts of gas. He thinks this is great – at any time, he can walk up to mom and say, "I have a present for you" and make a loud toot, which invariably sends him off laughing hysterically. When Barbara's around, she gets a kick out of his new "talent" too – they're both at an age where this is just great humor.
The effects of the ANP are becoming evident as he starts to get near the maximum does:
Overall, he continues to be in great spirits, but certainly has his ups and downs. This is understandable, particularly since his doses of ANP are really getting up there – he's now at 220 ml x 6 doses per day of #1 and 35 mll per dose on #2. That adds up to a lot of extra fluid pumping through his system, in addition to the average of 5-6 tall bottles of water that he drinks per day (2-3 during the night). We've got him set up with a urinal in his room, which makes things much easier and we're investigating an easy to use catheter so he won't even have to get up.
Back home in Detroit, the family gets news that Chase's tumor has shrunk by 5-10% (I don't know what effect the biopsy had, and he sees to be on steroids at this point, so who knows what that signifies?)
Chase started school at the end of September, and in October, the family starts "Rife Therapy," which I'd never heard of but raises every red flag there is (and, indeed, seems to have caught the attention of quackwatch):
So now we'll be kicking into gear the next dimension of Chase's recovery plan – rife treatments. The machine we purchased from Energy Wellness will transmit electro-magnetic waves at specific frequencies designed to interfere with the tumor and stimulate the breakdown as well as the detoxification of the body.
I'm finding that it's very hard to remain sympathetic to these parents. They seem to be a slave to their nutritionist and any other shonk who stumbles by:
After corresponding via e-mail for the past couple of months, yesterday we were finally able to meet Dr. Prasanta Banerji, who is widely recognized as the leading Homeopath in India. Thanks again to TMW, we were able to fly in and out of Kansas City to meet Dr. Banerji during a visit on his 5 stop tour of leading US cancer research centers to report on the latest results of his remedies. He examined Chase, reviewed his recent blood tests, MRI results, etc. and is very confident that his homeopathic remedy will be successful in eradicating this tumor.
Dr. Prasanta Banjeri deserves to be hogtied.
Through the holdiay's, Chase seems to slip, bit by bit, while the parents fuss over his nutrition. He develops some sort of stomach condition, but I don't see any record of them taking him to the hospital at all until the end of January:
Unfortunately, his luck ran out by Tuesday of this week. We had difficulty with the IV tubes leaking over the weekend and that seemed to set the stage. Carol ended up spending 4 hours with Chase in the emergency room from 1-5 am trying to get someone to correctly change his port access and that just ran them both down on energy. Then Chase ended up with nausea again with a fever for a couple of days and had to stop all treatments and miss school. This created an even greater burden for Carol to wait on him hand and foot through this period. When we got the results of his bloodwork, we could see why he didn't want to tolerate treatment or eat much – his potassium was the lowest it's ever been and his sodium was off the chart (probably due to dehydration related to the fever). Chase seems to be coming around again today and hopefully he'll get back to normal by tomorrow so he can resume the antineoplaston treatments. His next MRI has been confirmed for February 16th – we're really looking forward to it because we expect to be able to report more progress this time around.
Sodium off the chart? Where have I heard that before?
In mid February, the parents report that Chase's face is sagging and the his vision is getting "cloudy," but the parents announce that "Chase is Staying On Track!" They are occupying an alternate universe, as best I can tell. It's very sad. When the tumor seems to be growing, the family decides to make a pilgrimage to Medjugorje.
We are now planning a trip to Medjugorje right after Easter to take Chase to the area where Our Lady has appeared and there have been many miracles reported. We continue to have strong faith that Chase is on his way to a full recovery and we're excited about the unfolding of this miracle.
At no point have have I seen anything like progress while Chase is on the ANP treatment. Instead, we see tumor growth, and increasing number of symptoms, and fatigue. These parents just can't see it. In April, Chase starts to lose some mobility on his right side, and at the end of the month, the parents take him to Hungary for a miracle.
This is an unremitting horror story. In early May, he's deteriorated more. I see nothing positive about the ANP treatment.
In June, the tumor is growing, and Chase is feeling headaches and nausea and other symptoms related to the growth of the tumor and then we hear this. He can't move his arm or stand on his own. The parents turn to Quantum Healing, which is "imagining" the tumor is getting better. They seem to think that the only problem is that the tumor isn't being absorbed:
We're also continuing to use the visualizations / quantum healing approach (focused mainly on seeing Chase's white blood cells attacking and breaking down the tumor). We have another MRI scheduled for next Friday (6/16) which will provide another very important update on our progress, followed by consultations with his Oncologist and the Burzynski Clinic to determine the next course of action.
Chase's next MRI is a tale of woe, and the parents get some news that there is necrosis inside the tumor. What this means is uncertain, but I'm starting to see a pattern in the news that Burzynski's patients get. Such necrosis can mean that the tumor has merely outgrown its blood supply, or THAT THE ANP IS NOT WORKING!!!!!! I know a little girl right now whose alos received the same news from Burzynski. Either he's incapable of learning or…I can't imagine what. But it's black and it's cold, and I'm glad I don't have that in me.
We were fortunate to be able to meet with the Radiologist right away and get his impressions. Unfortunately, the tumor was somewhat larger, which is quite concerning and obviously the reason for the increased neurological symptoms; however, there was a very significant change in its characteristics. We had been told after the previous scans that there seemed to be some necrosis (accumulation of dead tissue) but this time it was extremely obvious – there were two quite large "blisters" or pockets of fluid inside the tumor. The Radiologist described these as pretty clearly necrosis, but wasn't sure this would be good news, since he's not familiar with the results to expect from anti-neoplastons and the other treatments that we're doing.
We got the feedback from the Burzynski Clinic today, after they reviewed the CD of the MRI as well. Dr. Burzynski was gracious enough to give us a direct consultation to discuss his impressions. He seems to think this is very likely good news – indicating that the tumor is starting to break down and typically the next step would be that the liquid in the blisters would dry up and eventually collapse or shrink. However, there were some areas of enhancement in the scans around these blisters which could also be an indication of higher grade activity (i.e. malignancy). If this is the case, we would need to stop antineoplastons right away and quickly develop an alternative plan (such as radiation or immunotherapy targeting this cell type). Alternatively, this enhancement could just be confirmation of the blood supply being cut off to these areas of the tumor which would be great news. (emphasis added)
Chase is in the ER in mid-June because he can't breathe, his vocal cords are paralyzed and he is suffering from swelling in the brain. The logical loop-the-loops that the mind is capable of producing…! The almost perfect denial of the family makes them such vulnerable targets:
All indications are that this tumor is indeed breaking down; however, until it actually shrinks, the pressure that is building-up is extremely concerning since it is affecting Chase's vitals. This is essentially the "healing crisis" – the tumor is breaking down at a rate faster than his body can resorb the fluid or byproduct of the dead tumor. (emphasis added)
In a few days, Chase can't breathe on his own for more than an hour. They give him a tracheotomy to assist his breathing.
The family seems intent on bringing Chase home as soon as possible, and this starts to lead to problems with the hospital and ICU staff, who see it as dangerous:
Chase is Extremely Anxious to get Back Home!Things seem to be going fairly well in terms of Chase's recovery from the surgeries. He's been visited by both surgeons that past two days and they don't see any issues. Nevertheless, the hospital administration is insisting that he needs to stay at least until Monday (actually they're trying to push us to stay until Wed). We reluctantly agreed to Monday, so that we can let the ENT specialist change the trach and train us on that procedure, but assuming that goes well we're pushing to get out that day.
Once the ICU staff realized we weren't going to accept anything else, they had a patient advocate come and meet with us to try to convince us it would be in Chase's best interest. We responded that of course, if something concerning should come up with Chase's condition, we would reconsider. But as far as we're concerned, those chances just increase the longer we stay in the hospital. We really need to get him back to his familiar surroundings with some stability and on the treatment plan that is working to heal him.
This is hard to continue to write about because I know it really happened. The family is now taking up quantum healing even more than before, or imagining progress. I have to lay it down. These parents were simply not up to caring for a dying child. They were utterly vulnerable at all points and needed protection–not the least from themselves. By the end of August, Chase is now experiencing tremors on his left side. Burzynski, however, keeps pumping them full of unwarranted optimism:
The feedback from the Burzynski Clinic is that the changes in Chase's tumor are consistent with what they would expect as it is going through the degradation process. Although the conventional doctors haven't seen this before, Dr. Burzynski has and he's confident that things are progressing in the right direction with Chase's recovery. He is particularly pleased that there was no more mass in the lesion with an increase in the amount of fluid / necrosis.
Abominable. Then I came across the most depressing paragraph in the history of medicine on the 1-year anniversary of Chase's diagnosis:
Well, needless to say, they didn't know much about the character of our little Trooper! He's been quite a fighter and an inspiration the whole way. He's done all we could ask to defeat this terrible condition. The files posted on his Yahoo group show what Chase's current protocol entails, which tends to change on a weekly basis, with the input of his Nutritionist, Naturopath, Energy Practitioner, Homeopath, the Burzynski Clinic, etc.
Not one person on this list is capable of helping Chase. By September, it seems like the family is…living with a corpse in their home. I'm not seeing anything that looks at all like life in the kid. And then, in early October, this:
We Overcame Ludicrous Charges by Protective Services
Last night, I was shocked to come to our front door to find a group of police officers along with two representatives from Protective Services claiming that they had a court order to remove our children due to allegations that we were conducted medical procedures that were endangering Chase. You can imagine my incredulous response – what?!, who?!, why?! The trumped up charges were so ludicrous that it was hard to believe they were serious – that we conducted unauthorized blood draws and gave him sea salt (when his sodium was dangerously low)?!
When I explained that everything that we've done has been under the supervision and guidance of licensed medical practitioners and provided documentation to substantiate this, their response was that "it doesn't matter, we have a signed court order and we have to remove your children"… thank God I didn't have weapons in the house, or I might be in big trouble right now. Instead, I had to swallow hard, showed them Chase's accommodations, including his ventilator and explained that if this was to happen, we would need to use my back-up system (which they knew nothing about) and that he wasn't in a condition to be safely transported anywhere. Eventually, they realized this and let me direct the transfer to Beaumont hospital, who I contacted and got them ready with pre-admission paperwork so that he could go right up to the Pediatric ICU unit that is familiar with his case. This actually went reasonably well, despite the fact that it certainly wasn't necessary to have six officer escorts, a fire truck, ambulance, security guards, etc (including a security guard in our hospital room all night). I told them that if there was a legitimate concern, a simple phone call or meeting would have been sufficient to clear it all up – but that's beside the point.
By Divine Intervention, Carol and Barbara were at a gymnastics class so they weren't exposed to this madness, particularly since the warrant required the removal of Barbie as well. I just can't imagine the needless trauma that would've caused her. We were able to get their approval to let her stay at her God Parents home (who are registered foster parents in the State of Michigan) while we worked to clear this ridiculous accusation up as soon as possible (another night with little sleep).
Well, as expected, when we provided our documentation to the court, the Prosecutors Office declined to even pursue any charges and requested immediate dismissal of the case, which the Circuit Judge agreed to do. In the meantime, we got more "excitement" than we needed with the situation that we're going through. On the bright side (although it's painful to overlook the gross negligence in their pursuing such a charge without doing the slightest reasonable diligence), Chase was able to get a transfusion, which he needed to pull up his hemoglobin and some help with balancing his electrolytes. Of course, we would have been happy to arrange all of this in an orderly fashion, if someone who had such a concern had the decency to discuss it with us.
It seems that the Henry Ford Hospice service, which we engaged for about a week and subsequently discharged from our case, started this ball rolling (probably feeling slighted by our dismissal). When they hinted a couple of weeks ago that they would be placing this call, we thought we had head off the issue by getting our Doctor's orders reinstated and clearing the situation with them. Then when we went to follow-up with them about our arrangements for Chase's ongoing care, they didn't return our calls. Nevertheless, someone apparently went way out of their way to make things difficult for us and they are now protected under privacy privileges of the Protective Services agency. This is a real eye-opener and a nightmare that we wouldn't wish upon anyone – fortunately, we got it resolved quickly and now it's getting publicized – Channel 4 News will be featuring the story at 11 pm tonight. We'll have to see what their "take-away" is, but in discussions with us they seemed just as flabbergasted as we were about this whole situation – just think about it, the medical establishment that was trying to convince us to "give it up and pull the plug" is now trying to protect Chase from being harmed by us since we're administering medical care at our home?!?
Anyhow, as they say, "all's well that ends well" and the final chapter of this crazy episode will hopefully be a safe discharge and return home tomorrow, or soon thereafter once Chase's bloodwork stabilizes again. I'm just thanking God that he wasn't harmed during this ridiculous sequence of events and we're getting some help for a couple of days (although we can do without help under these kind of circumstances going forward). After digging some more into just what happened behind the scenes, we'll need to find another way to get whatever assistance we need in a more practical way with trustworthy home service organizations – this is just another learning experience about our wonderful medical and administration system…
It is safe to say that if I had been following this blog, Child Protective Services would have been called long before this. These people are not monsters. They are simply incapable of making a good decision for their child. A neurologist came to test Chase and found him just simply unresponsive. The fantasy that these parents live is absolute:
Chase Rejected his Doctor and Defied Medical LogicLast Friday, Chase's Neurosurgeon came over to assess his shunt site and drain the excess fluid. We were anxious to show the doctor how much more responsiveness Chase has had lately but he didn't seem to want to cooperate. Over the course of about an hour, Chase wouldn't budge or indicate the slightest response. Even when we did the breathing test again, he barely took one shallow breath over a few minutes, which was really concerning.
Of course, the Neurosurgeon took the opportunity to remind us that he was pretty certain that Chase could not be responsive since he is essentially brain dead. Although this wasn't surprising, it was nonetheless very frustrating because we know otherwise, particularly given Chase's recent improvements.
After the doctor left, I went back to see Chase and told him I was worried about him. When I asked if he was OK, Chase pulled up his leg (as he has in the recent past to communicate). I was extremely relieved (although frustrated with his lack of cooperation – I can't blame him for not liking the docs who are trying to convince us to "give it up"). Then, I noticed that Chase was breathing over his ventilator so I changed the settings to allow him to breathe on his own, with pressure support to ensure that his lungs remained full. He managed to tolerate this for about an hour – the longest in quite a while. The following day, Chase triggered his own breathing for about 8 hours – simply unbelievable, given what happened during the doctor's visit the prior day.
I called the doctor back and explained that it seems Chase just doesn't want to cooperate with him and if he wants to observe for himself how well Chase is doing, we'll need to use a webcam. We set this up over the weekend and it's working; we're also video taping Chase's movements and breathing, which is continuing to go well. However, the shunt site is accumulating fluid again and will probably need to be drained soon – this might actually be a good sign in that we will be able to provide additional pressure relief. We're having the fluid tested to get more definitive information on what exactly it is and where it's coming from (although we believe it's debris from the dead tissue, along with spinal fluid). We also know that the removal of the dead tissue is our gating factor to get the tumor to shrink and relieve the pressure on the brainstem – this drainage might represent progress with this key issue.
At Christmas, the family is still exuding an aggressive, unjustified hope that he will come around, that he is just "sleeping."
In January, the family starts talking to an "intuitive." I don't even know what to think anymore. It's like when a mother chimpanzee loses a baby and carries the remains around for weeks because she can't let go. And that there are people around who are willing to enable this completely disordered thinking is just heartbreaking.
Chase is Connecting with CarolOver the past couple of months, we've been using a very gifted "intuitive" to help us communicate with Chase. He seems to be very comfortable conveying telepathically his needs and desires as well as how he's doing with the various treatments. We're continuing to do everything we can to support Chase in his recovery while keeping him comfortable and "connected", according to his suggestions. This includes having Barbara sit next to Chase while doing her homework after school and read to him every evening. We also spend about a half hour with him every night for family prayer.
During a recent session, Chase conveyed that he wanted mommy to learn how to "connect" with him with the help of our intuitive. Apparently, he wants her to be able to capture his thoughts in order to write a book that would help other families and children in dealing with these kind of situations. Ironically, for the longest time Carol had an intuition or calling to write a book, but didn't think it would come so soon. Chase is very excited that she's receptive to working with him and developing her ability to "connect" in this special way.
By March, Chase has been moved to a hospital again, where he contracts infection after infection after infection. There is no response and he is essentially lying in state. Eventually, he contracts a blood infection he can not fight.
Chase died on 17 September 2007.
It's hard finding anything redeeming about this story. In the end, even Burzynski was a (comparatively) minor player in this story. ANP clearly did nothing to allay the tumor's growth or the progression of the disease. The whole story is one of protracted, agonizing decline and false hope abetted by quacks, mystics, and opportunists of all sorts. And a family willing to be deceived. I'm disgusted and depressed about this train wreck. A horrible piece to have to write, but people like this and those who depend on them need to be protected from quackery.

Find your perfect pub...
The Old Vic, Preston
FancyaPint?'s review...
Well, given it's proximity to the station, this one is just that, a pub by a station. It's not terrible, as they do try with a reasonable beer selection on the five hand pumps and the staff are pleasant enough. It's got lots of tellys and music, and apparently gets packed with students of an evening. It's not going to suffer for punters and it does what the majority of them need it to do, including a beer garden out the back. The signs everywhere saying the premises has CCTV are not a good sign, however, so they've obviously had some trouble in the past. Not great, but not one we'll go out of our way for.

This pub keeps its clock five minutes fast and they open and close by it. That means if you turn up at 10.56 they won't serve you. I complained to Preston's licensing dept. but they didn't seem interested.

This is a proper pub.
Excellent well looked after real ales on hand pump.
Proper pub grub at a reasonable price.
A little snug at the back where it's a bit quieter.

Former Australian pilot says toxic engine fumes made him sick
- From: NewsCore
- July 11, 2010
- Ex-pilot says he had "aerotoxic syndrome"
- Claims poisonous chemical leaked into cabin
- Australian authority investigating claims
A FORMER pilot for Australia's largest airline claims he was paralysed in mid-flight because of "aerotoxic syndrome" - exposure to toxic engine fumes on airliners, The Sunday Telegraph reports.
Campaigners say that poisonous chemicals leaking into the aircraft cabin cause symptoms ranging from dizziness, hallucinations, memory loss and fatigue to seizures and even paralysis.
Passengers are also thought to be affected, but campaigners say the symptoms are often confused with jetlag, so few complain.
A blood test is being developed in America to detect evidence of low-level exposure - a key step in proving that aerotoxic syndrome is a genuine illness.
The US Congress has also sanctioned a year-long investigation into the condition, which will force airlines to install monitoring devices on their aircraft.
The pilot, who did not want to be identified, was medically discharged in 2008 from Qantas after suffering symptoms that ranged from memory problems, difficulty concentrating, inflammation of the eyes, as well as regular bouts of bronchitis and gastric illnesses.
"On my last flight in 2006 my fingers were paralysed and I couldn't move my hands" he said.
"I had never heard of aerotoxic syndrome and didn't realise I was at risk.
"The problem is that pilots are living in constant fear of losing their jobs if they show any symptoms, so nobody wants to make a fuss."
Aerotoxic syndrome has been most closely linked to a chemical in the engine oil called tricresyl phosphate - or TCP. This is a known neurotoxin that is used in pesticides and in nerve agents. Heavy metal particles such as nickel, cadmium and beryllium have also been detected.
Airline officials admit that toxic fumes can enter the cabin, but deny they are present in high enough quantities to cause the aerotoxic symptoms.
Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Association (CASA) has established an expert panel on aircraft air quality to investigate the allegations.
A report commissioned by the UK Government is now three months overdue, prompting speculation that information is being suppressed.

Okay just had my second Jenny Craig counselling session. I'm not sure what I make of it tbh. I have left the whole thing feeling awkward even though we ended all friendly friendly.
You see I wasn't 100% with the plan and the lady didn't like that, but I cannot always be 100% - I wish I could but 100% just isn't going to cut it. I visit my mother once a week on average and we eat out or she cooks - that is the way it is. And yes sometimes we do go out with friends and I can make good choices but it can be hard and I will not be pushed beyond what makes me comfortable as I will not stick to a healthy eating plan that has no naughties or occasional greasy pleasures.
Hmm, I suppose what I found odd about the whole conversation is that this week I lost 2.25 lbs but did she focus on the positive, no, she instantly jumped on the negative without even mentioning my loss. A nice well done would have been in the offing.
Maybe she's hit a sensitive spot and I'm just not liking it. I don't know. Will give her another go next week but so far I'm not finding the counselling to be counselling, more like telling me how to suck eggs. A counsellor would have asked "why did you choose to eat that" not "couldn't you have gone to a restaurant that didn't serve food with a ton of at" (roughly her words).
Part of the issue is that I did not get my diet plans in with my boxes and they arrived several days later so yes, I have not been following them with this box as I'm out of sync already but on my next delivery (assuming they are enclosed with the box!!!!) then I shall follow it down to the individual packs. Not my fault they got my delivery wrong :p
Right enough ranting. I'm doing okay with my weight loss as far as I am concerned. Doing okay with my plan and I am liking the Jenny Craig food even if that is all I am liking right now - I can always forego the counselling and just get on with it using Sparkpeople.

Maybe you could ask for a different counselor? It sounds like this one has a bad attitude!
Report Inappropriate Comment
If you like the food, maybe you should cut back the meetings with her. The point is to be healthy and HAPPY! If you see her once a month or two, someone is apt to ask questions and then you maybe able to explain the negative is not very motivational to you. Just a thought. Have a happy, healthy, beautiful and fun weekend!

Bottles and Bites: Wine Bars with Fab Food
These days you can eat really well without leaving the bar. Check out these wine bars with commendable cuisine.
By Kiri Tannenbaum
Tinto - Philadelphia, PA
At Tinto, a Spanish-inspired tapas bar, celeb-chef Jose Garces serves a variety of montaditos, including a sweet jumbo lump crabmeat mixed with a light crème fraîche-mayo-dijon blend (pictured). But the idea of a tapas bar is to sample an array of bites, and here there is no shortage of options. Choose from the variety of brochetas, seafood, or bocadillos like the braised shortrib with bacon, asparagus, and celery root aioli. The exclusively Spanish wine list covers reds, whites, cavas, and sherries.

(Updates with schedule details from second paragraph.)
Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil shipments from Dansk Undergrunds Consortium, the producer part-owned by A.P. Moeller Maersk A/S, for November are scheduled to be unchanged from this month at six cargoes, a loading program obtained by Bloomberg News showed.
Exports for November will total 3.6 million barrels, or 120,000 barrels a day, the plan showed.
Copenhagen-based Maersk holds 39 percent of the venture, known as DUC. Royal Dutch Shell Plc owns 46 percent and Chevron Corp. has 15 percent. Maersk will receive three cargoes, Shell will get one and Chevron two, according to the schedule.
Loading programs are monthly schedules of crude shipments compiled by field operators to allow buyers and sellers to plan their supply and trading activities.
