Prague - The European Union (EU) should offer membership to Ukraine if it really means to support the country´s transformation but the association agreement cannot be signed in the current situation, Czech EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele told public Czech Radio today.

Though the offer of the association agreement with the EU, which Kiev rejected last year, is still valid, the Union can hardly sign it with Ukrainian representatives if repressions and violence in the country continue, Fuele said.
The association agreement can be signed after the Ukrainian government and opposition find a way out of the crisis, Fuele said, adding that he cannot imagine the signing of the agreement with the current Ukrainian representatives at present.
Protests broke out in Ukraine after the country´s leaders rejected the association agreement with the EU and decided to tighten the ties with Russia instead last year.
The anti-government demonstrations have claimed several lives.
The EU should take an accommodating stance if Kiev wanted to approach it, Fuele said.
If the EU really wishes Ukraine´s transformation, then it "should offer the strongest transformation tool that exists on the European continent, that is enlargement," Fuele pointed out.
The demonstrations in Ukraine led to the government´s fall recently.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych today signed into law an amnesty for demonstrators detained during the mass protests, on condition the protesters leave most of the government buildings, and the abolition of the controversial repressive laws.
However, the opposition still insists on the detained demonstrators being pardoned without any conditions and demand early elections as a solution to the crisis.
Yanukovych, for his part, claims that the authorities have fulfilled all settlement commitments.

Arnold Schwarzenegger 's admission that he fathered a child out of wedlock may dim the political influence of the former California governor. His return to the movie business is unlikely to suffer.

HCC Small Business Center Helps New Business Succeed at Preserving Tradition
Jessica DeMarco, co-owner of Copper Pot & Wooden Spoon, always had owning her own business in mind. She, along with sister-in-law and co-owner Dayna Stubee, knew the business needed to be a little different than other businesses and offer things you don't see every day. The two chefs also knew they wanted to use fresh produce from local small farmers and be as sustainable as possible by composting and recycling.
The result is a unique business making high quality artisan foods such as jams and pickles, all while preserving tradition. Their products are sold online, at the Historic Waynesville Farmer's Market, and in local shops in Waynesville, Asheville, and Cashiers.
"I wanted to do something creative, to make something," says DeMarco about their business. "Both Dayna and I have culinary arts degrees. My grandfather farmed. Food was always important in my family. We had big Sunday dinners."
The result is a unique business that is filling a niche. The pair is turning their dream into a truly profitable business.
"Everything seems to be coming together," says DeMarco. "My brother is a graphic artist and he helped develop the brand."
But everything is coming together for a reason. Both owners have real experience they bring to the business. Both worked for Biltmore Estate and Stubee still does. DeMarco has learned a lot about the business side of the food industry from that experience, as well as working in bed and breakfasts. Stubee is in the NC Rural Center's New Generation Ventures program that targets business owners under 30.
"They have excellent contacts and pay attention to detail, both in their business planning and food products," explains Sharron Donnahoe, Director of Haywood Community College's Small Business Center.
One of their best relationships has to be with farmers at the Historic Waynesville Farmers' Market. It is an excellent place to buy produce for Copper Pot & Wooden Spoon. "We also can test market our products there without having to invest a huge amount," explains DeMarco.
DeMarco met Donnahoe years ago while she was working at Carolina Gourmet, a local restaurant that is now closed. They formed a relationship talking about business plans and how to start a new business. DeMarco attended several workshops offered through the Small Business Center. When it came to writing a business plan for Copper Pot & Wooden Spoon, Donnahoe was helpful in guiding them in the right direction.
"Sharron helped us key the business plan down to what we really needed," says DeMarco. "We didn't know about the Green Loan available to businesses through the NC Rural Center Microenterprise Loan program until Sharron told us about it. We had no idea we were eligible for it."
Copper Pot & Wooden Spoon became the first business in Haywood County to get this type of loan. Money from this loan was used to purchase equipment for their new commercial kitchen and manufacturing location. The Rural Center's N.C. Microenterprise Loan Program encourages self-employment and small business growth through loans of up to $25,000. Local program partners like the HCC Small Business Center provide business counseling and assist borrowers in preparing loan applications
In addition, Copper Pot & Wooden Spoon was selected as one of two winners for the Haywood County Chamber of Commerce Business Start-up Competition. The business was awarded a $5,000 prize. This was the second year they tried for the competition.
"This year, we were a lot further along with the business and had much better sense about where we wanted the business to go," DeMarco says.
DeMarco is quick to admit that it is overwhelming to think about starting a new business. "HCC's Small Business Center is very helpful to get a sense of what it takes. It makes it a lot more achievable to have a resource like the Small Business Center in place. You don't have to start from scratch. The great support in this county gives you the confidence to move ahead with your dreams."
Visit Copper Pot & Wooden Spoon at the Historic Waynesville Farmer's Market or online at http://www.copperpottraditions.com/.
Copper Pot & Wooden Spoon is one example of a business making the most of the resources available to them at HCC's Small Business Center. The Small Business Center provides budding entrepreneurs with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed decisions concerning their business ventures. A resource library of print, audio, and video materials is also available for loan. The Center is located on the main campus of HCC in the Learning Resource Center. Counseling services are available by appointment and are free of charge.

Howdy all, Further questions regarding use.desc have come up with regard to this GLEP. My proposed solution would be a potential amendment to the GLEP to state that <flag name='png' /> Would be allowed. This syntax is not actually disallowed or allowed by the current GLEP, but mentioning it would allow a metadata.xml contain all the USE flags that appear in IUSE, even the global ones. By using the above syntax, it would simply state that there is no additional descriptions or details but to just use the use.desc description. Further more, it would allow us in the future to make that mandatory and repoman would only have to check metadata.xml for your USE flag. Comments, Suggestions, Input are all welcome. -- Doug Goldstein Gentoo Developer

Important Information >>
To make the rabbets on which the glasses of the upper doors will rest on, I'll be using this rabbeting bit. The bearing will follow the lower shoulder of the groove while the cutters will cut the upper shoulder to form the rabbets.
Well, join the crowd of the rest of us that have messed up when working past quitting time. I learned a long time ago that I just cannot do woodworking when tired or distracted. First of all, it is extremely dangerous, and secondly, I start making mistakes.
Looking forward to your finished project.
I really like your shopmade D-handle router base. A lot

I have broccoli plants in a stock tank this year. Their heads aren't that big, but the individual stalks are starting to separate. Does that mean it's time to eat them? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yep. A little past it's prime but still good.. Harvest that main head so side shoots develop. The more separation, the woodier the stalk will be. I let my knife in the kitchen tell me --- if gravity from a simple chop drop of the knife doesn't go easily through the stalk, I inch my way up the stalk until it does. Kevin |
Agree. Usually it begins to get a slight yellow cast before the stalks begin to separate and that is when to harvest. So get it now. Dave |

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- At the request of the Providence School Board, Supt. Susan Lusi tonight will present the board members with alternatives to converting Dr. Jorge Alvarez High School into a middle school.
It has been projected that the city's middle school population will exceed capacity next year.
In a resolution, the City Council is urging the administration of Mayor Angel Taveras to use "the highest possible level of deliberation and thoughtfulness," including getting input from all affected, before deciding Alvarez's fate.
"That is the sentiment of the School Board as well," board President Keith Oliveira said Friday. "It's a last option, especially because of the disruption it would have on students and families."
The school board will meet at 6:30 at district headquarters on Westminster Street.
Alvarez, which is off Adelaide Avenue near Reservoir Triangle, was opened six years ago and has fewer than 500 students. It has been classified as a low-performing school for several years.
-- with reports from Alisha A. Pina, Journal staff writer

hi all
need to add a closet to our first floor bungalow bedroom (actually we could stand to add 3 closets but are starting with one. the room is 10 x 12 (approx) and has 3 windows, a big radiator and two doors. we are sandwiching the approc 4 foot wide closet between a wall with a single window and the adjacent wall with the radiator + two windows. the closet will be a bump into the room as these are both exterior walls. my question for you is what kind of door would you recommend? sliding won't work, we are down to the choice between bifold or a small door that opens normally and then you'd have to reach into the back of the closet. the regular doors on this floor are 6 panel dark stained colonial doors (new, replacing swirling maple veneer slab doors from a 40s remodel). the other woodwork is white. your thoughts on style, color? kren |

is there no adjacent room that you can knock a wall down.. now you're going to have three doors in one room, have you consulted an arcitect(please forgive bad spelling).. is there any way you can post a pic. |
hi plantmaster thanks for your reply...we are extreme DIYers (as in very cheap) so we can't really use an architect. but i am sure they would know exactly what to do! this is just a little 4 foot by 2 foot closet in a corner. the two outer walls of the "closet to be" are both outside masonry walls of our house, so can't knock through those.. i will see if i can get a picture, just wondering if anyone had a put a closet inside the walls of their little, old bedrooms and had any insights. i would be ok with a bifold door, but not thrilled.. kren |
FWIW, with bifold doors you are not limited to those ugly cheap things from the home center. Masonite makes some beautiful bifold doors (this one might match your other doors; go here, click "application" and then "bifold" to see all the doors that come in a bifold option) and can be ordered through Home Depot or lumberyards. The typical passage door is something like 32", so if you used a 32" bifold to match you'd only be looking at 8" on each side (48-32=16, 16/2=8) to reach into which is no big whoop at all. If you had to go down to a 30" the sides would become 9" deep. Again, no biggie. Also, you aren't trapped into those blasted tracks people usually put bifold doors on. In my previous house a swinging door into the master bathroom would have eaten a ridiculous amount of space (note, we had FIVE doors in that 12x13 bedroom: entry, bathroom, linen closet, and two small reach-in closets), so we hung a bifold door on regular door hinges so it took up very little room and looked so much nicer. Also, since it swung completely out of the way, we gained about 2" in the usable doorway width because with that track setup you need to allow room for the door itself to stack. Here's a picture - wish I had a better one but we moved out last September: |
johnmari, thanks very much! i had no idea that you could get a regular wood masonite door in bifold form! and in part because we are renovating not restoring (original house style and windows already butchered), we are very happy to have an option that allows us to shop at HD. also now i have a better idea of just how many doors one can force into a 12 x 13 room. i had already given up on the frustrating track idea, but it's good to get that confirmed with someone else's idea. thanks kren |
marylu and johnmari, thanks to you both. now i have two good ideas...decisions, decisions...well and of course finding time to get the project done too! kren |

I am sharing this with you based on my personal experience and rewards.
I tried this experiment to see if it made any difference and it did for me and others too. For the past few recent years except for "last" summer, I would use a fish emulsion product, then a a hose end sprayer to hose down ALL my outdoor "and" indoor plants, including ALL my tropicals... This includes my gardenias, citrus, clivias,plumerias,brovardias,olive trees,dracaneas,palms,bonsais,cactus, everything. Years before spraying. I would have severe problems with pests, especially with scale, and "last" year, after summer again. They especially attacked my citrus and gardenias..I had to battle scale for weeks on a couple of my plants until all was eradicated... Spraying fish emulsion kept, and still keeps the pest's away on our plants! Not only that, but it also encouraged and still encourages the leaves to stay a beautifully shiny green, while the natural oils suffocate anything that might of suck the life out of my precious possessions..It also improves the overall health of my plants, as I think whether they are in a container or in the ground, benefit in some way from a good feed of this stuff to the root system..
Two of my friends have done so now, and they too are having great results and completely satisfied over every year prior. So much for the scale I had a problem with last year!
Try it, it worked great for me this year again, and I will never ever go another summer without spraying fish emulsion on my plants at least once a week..Have you ever seen what happens to plants after a thrunderstorm or a good rain shower? Spraying them this way seems to have the same affect to my plants after it has been done. they perk up and are so revived... Spray early in the am, or late in the afternoon.. Mike..:-0) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Mike, are you saying you just spray pure fish emulsion right out of the bottle on your plants and trees? Does it make your plants and trees smell fishy? |
Hey Mike i was wondering the same thing, we eat a lot crappy i usually dump the water on the plants dirt so to speak...boy does it smell yuck....Ok now i been looking for you done several plants monday and showed you the plants on nother forum so my Q. is i watered one of them today and it ran right thru so this being said how often do i water the new mix i learned from you?? thx again Mike for ALL your wonderful help |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 2, 10 at 12:31
No not like that.. I use a nose end spray bottle, like the Mircale Gro bottle that is attached at the end of your hose, then I fill it 1/4 to 1/2 with just emulsion..Then turn the hose on and sprinkle away..It measures the right amount of both emulsion and water coming out perfectly! Everything smells a little fishy just for a few hours, but then gone..Not bad for such a great product and great reults.. Mike |
hey, Mike i don't think you read all my post above bout watering???? |

Buylady. I did not see your post..I am so sorry I missed it.. |
Mike I'm looking at the Miracle-Gro 100511 LiquaFeed Advance Starter Kit at Amazon. Is this what I am looking for along with some Fish Emulsion? Do you know if its safe to foliar feed trees with the Mirical-Gro fertilizer that comes with the kit? |

Thisisme, I would refill one of those containers with emulsion, and use it as often as I want.. What I use. I will post a picture of tomorrow for you.. I have never sprayed my houseplants with MG or other fertilizers since I already use FP and slow release for them..Besides, I am looking for pest free plants, killed naturally with the oils and shiny leaves clean leaves.. Hi buylady, I would leave the rains to water all they want and sit back and not worry, then I would hose water when they look dry..You can water as often as you want really, as long as your plants are outside, in full light or sun, and in that fast draining mix..Make sure you use slow release if you water a lot, since this is working out for me along with FP, unless you plan on fertilizing every time you water.. Great job!! |

Here are a few pictures of the plants sprayed this way and the products I use..They are and have been pest free...The blueberries are abundant and the foliage a shiny green, even befoe a rain storm..:_) Pictures taken this morning, Saturday July 2 |
oh ok OMG are those bluberries?? i have many plants out side planted in a patch...bought 9 new ones this yr...Ok back to watering i used that Osc???? mispelled LOL it is slow release...but my plants are NOT outside it gets way to hot on my deck no roof..ok now how did you do your acid blueberry pot to be acid enough to produce?? do i need m.Gro acid on my trees too i have it... |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 3, 10 at 10:54
Hi Buylady, I use vinegar and just water in..My soil is already acidic enough. If you want to feed your blueberries Miracid, that is ok too... I spray the all with Fish Emulsion every week to keep the green and very productive. Remember, that they like to be watered a lot to keep the fruit hydrated.. Have a great day, I am off to the beach..:-) Mike |
Ok Mike, i just found a forum on making new blueberry plants yipppee i won't have to buy any more if it works..thx so much Mike for the info AGAIN LOL...you sure are the most knowledgable person i found on here...YOU have a gr8 at the beach... |
Looking for thisisme? i saw your post on another forum you grow fig trees?? oh wow are they outside an are they dwarf can they potted?? any chance of getting one from you to plant or a seedling for an exchange for what??? |
Hi buylady any trees I will be getting rid of are to big to ship. I have a bunch on rooted cuttings I'm testing but I don't know if those varieties are keepers yet. If I feel up to it I may root some more cuttings this Fall for sale next Spring but I'm pretty busy so I can't say for sure. There are other reputable members in the fig forum who sell fig cuttings and rooted cuttings and trees. Always buy from a reputable forum member if you can. Most nurseries have a bad record when it comes to selling figs. So many of them are mislabeled and it can take one or two seasons before you find out. |
Ok well keep me in mind...i may go check thx for the info |
Hi Mike, Thanks for sharing the information. I can't find Neptune's Harvest product in my area. The only place I can get it is Amazon.com. Alaska fish emulsion product is the only one I can get if from Home Depot or Lowes. Do you think the Alaska product will work? Thanks, Johnny |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 4, 10 at 18:56
Yes..I have used it and still do...All "natural" fish emulsion is great. I like Neptune's because it is processed differently, is readily available here, since I only live 30 minutes from Gloucester where it is made, and smell less, I think anyway..Lol It doesn't smell like a batch of rotting fish on a deck.. Mike...:-) |
That's great. I'll try it and see if the ants and pests will disappear. Thanks, Johnny |
I'm kinda afraid to spray Fish Emulsion on my ripening figs. Their fruit absorbs water through their skin and I'm worried it will make my figs smell and taste fishy. |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 5, 10 at 7:39
The fish smell only lasts for a few hours, and a couple of farms that use it say they use their's up till day of harvest...Not sure about figs though. Vegetables and local fruit though, including peaches, no problem.. |
Mike, your citrus are glowing with health! I'm wondering if this idea is going to help me!!! Problem is how long the effect lasts! I am going away for 3 weeks in August, and am leaving my precious plants to the mercy of two (responsible) teenage neighbors. I know they will water properly -- I'm not worried about that -- but it's the swallowtail butterflies I am worrying about. I patrol morning and night removing eggs or small caterpillars, but I am sure the boys will not be as vigilant. Really those caterpillars can decimate my citrus. Does the fish emulsion keep them away? Or do you have any other ideas (organic)? Ashita |

I have never had this problem, I can not honestly say...It has worked for every kind of pest native to by area, the usual damaging ones that is...I mean, scale, spider mites, thrips, mealy, aphids and so on.... I have never experienced some kinds of insect many people here have but have heard from many friends all over the country and beyond that love it and say it definitely alleviates their insect problems. It wouldn't hurt to try.. I personally would use neem oil since it is stronger and tends to linger longer on the plant...I don't know of the caterpillars you speak of. So sorry. You know, I would take this question and post it over at the Pest and Disease forums. I know a lot of people there that have expertise in the buggy department....Try it out...I would be curious as to what they have to say.. Good luck and congrats on finding reliable waterers at least...:-) Mike |
Mike, I searched for fish emulsion here in Tokyo, and have found one product which seems like it might be right. It is made from fish, is a foliar feed and its selling point is it's full of amino acids. Does this sound right to you? Ashita |
Do the blueberries and the citrus fruit smell of fish if you try to eat them (I know that you do not eat the citrus fruit that you grow, but you must have tried the blueberries?)? I use fish emulsion as a fertilizer but avoid foliar feeding with it because of the bad smell that might linger on the fruits. |
hi all i don't no bout any ones else but thats why started growing my own fruit trees was for the fruit i haven't had all that many but i'm trying repot all of them.. Mike are your blueberries in pot or in the ground..mercy i've ordered fish emul...superthrive,rooting gel, but don't no how to use the superthrive can u help Mike..plants are looking a little better one the deck i think... send pics in few days.. |
A word of caution here. At 1 Tablespoon per gallon Alaskan Fish Emulsion burned the leaves on my plums and cherries. The fruit trees with thinker leaves like apples, pears and citrus did fine. Next time I think I will go with 2 teaspoons per gallon. |
Ok gr8 i'll do that...thats like me yrs ago i was in to house plants an was goin to be gone for 3 weeks vac...so i watered them good with some kind of plant food MG probably came home ALL dead burned'em up LOL so i'm really causious w/it now..thx for the info |

Hello, I haven't had any problems associated with the questions being asked me. No fish taste on my blueberries, in fact extra huge and planted in the ground, nor any of my tomatos or any vegi's for that matter... As for spraying them, the dosage I use is what is set to come out of my MG jug. I always water very early in the am, then come back a coupe of our later when i am home, and spray all my plants with water again...If I do not respray, I still have no burn, because when ever I spray any kind of fertilizer, organic or chemical, and or pest sprays, it is always done hours before or after the heat of the full day sun..Not sure if the emulsion makes a diiference on my plants, but it is pure and cold pressed, a proccess that Neptune's Harvest brags is better than any other fish product... Buylady, I do not know a thing about Superthrive. Tony does and she might be able to shed some light on this.. I hope everyone is having a great summer thus far, but I think I am about to enter into a drought period...Oh boy! Buylady, I am so happy your plants are finally outdoors! maybe the good bugs will attack the bad ones, as long as you stay with natural pesticides...Focus on ridding the pests and your soil mix, and your plants will never look as good as you could ever imagine in such a short period of time.. Keep smiling and be strong.. Hi everyone! |

The Eagles made big plays when they had to and took advantage of Cleveland High's misfortunes to walk away with a 21-7 win.
With the win, the Eagles improved to 1-1 on the year while the Wildcats fell to 0-2 on the young season.
For West Bolivar first year head coach Joac Williams the win was a big one especially against a team the caliber of Cleveland High.
"Having played in this game as a player I know what it's about," Williams said. "Getting my first win against Cleveland High in a rivalry game, there's nothing better than that. It's only one game so we will have a short memory and be back to work on Monday."
The Wildcats came out in a power formation and drove the ball down the Eagles' throats. With junior quarterback Vaughnte Dorsey sidelined for the first half, the ball landed in the hands of Earnest Butler.
Butler, the Cleveland High offensive line and lead blockers made room through the West Bolivar defensive front and with 6:37 left in the first quarter Butler plunged into the end zone from 11 yards out. Trace Edwards added the kick after for a 7-0 Cleveland advantage.
The game continued in a fashion where both defenses stepped up and began to force punts.
In the second quarter Cleveland forced West Bolivar to punt again, but this time Butler fought through the protection and blocked the punt which was recovered by Kyran Parker who returned it deep in West Bolivar territory. At the end of the run West Bolivar was flagged for a horse collar penalty, which gave the Wildcats, the ball on the nine-yard line.
The West Bolivar defense refused to concede a score and forced a fourth-and-goal from the six-yard line. The Wildcats elected to do something they had not done the entire first half and that was throw the ball. The Wildcats suffered the consequences as Butler's intended pass for the tight end was intercepted by West Bolivar's Deguadereck Rice who returned it 101 yards for a touchdown with 7:05 left in the first half. The kick after attempt was blocked, but the score was now 7-6.
"We can't take anything away from Cleveland High," Williams said. "They are a tough team and that's what a rivalry game is supposed to be. They came out in some things we haven't seen, but football is about adjustments so we made ours. The kids stuck in there and kept fighting. The defense was solid and if it wasn't for that first drive we would have had a shut out, but we played a heck of a team."
Cleveland ended up turning the ball over on downs on its next possession and West Bolivar wasted no time going to work as Lenardo Brown took a speed sweep 37 yards for a score with 1:10 left in the first half. Rodriquez Bush added the kick after for a 13-7 West Bolivar lead.
The game remained stuck at 13-7 until in the third quarter when Cleveland was set to punt, but the snap flew over the punter's head into the end zone where he was tackled for a safety to make the score 15-7.
The Eagles added more points with under one-minute remaining in the fourth quarter when the Wildcats were called for an Illegal shift, but the officials allowed the play to continue which resulted in a fumble and a recovery by West Bolivar's Robert Taylor who returned it 10 yards for a touchdown and a 21-7 lead for the Eagles.
West Bolivar was led on offense by Tayshawn Conway who completed 6-of-9 passes for 73 yards. Lenardo Brown had nine carries for 55 rushing yards with a touchdown, Rice had four catches for 36 yards and Dekeenan Boyd caught one pass for 40 yards to aid the Eagles.
Defensively, Rice led the Eagles with 10 tackles and two interceptions with one returned for a 101-yard TD. Ladarious Tucker had 11 tackles with a sack, and Larry Walker tallied 11 tackles for West Bolivar.
The Eagles will be back in action Friday against Ray Brooks at 7 p.m. in Rosedale The Cleveland High Wildcats will travel to play Leland at 7 p.m. Friday.

[223] Applying the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z0011 Trial; Can Histological Parameters Predict Axillary Nodal Understaging in Breast Carcinomas ?
Kate M O'Connor, Aoife J McCarthy, Fionnuala O'Connell, Tara Jane Browne, Michael W Bennett. Cork University Hospital, Cork City, Ireland
Background: The American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z0011 trial demonstrated that T1-T2 breast carcinoma patients with one or two positive sentinel lymph nodes, treated with whole-breast irradiation and systemic chemotherapy who do not proceed to axillary dissection do not have inferior survival, compared to those who do have axillary dissection. The implication is that such patients no longer require axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). The aim of this study is to determine whether application of the Z0011 trial would understage a proportion of patients and potentially lead to their undertreatment. We further aimed to investigate whether primary tumour and sentinel nodal metastasis characteristics could aid identification of understaged tumours.
Design: 331 consecutive breast carcinoma cases were anlaysed of whom 68 patients with T1-T2 tumours underwent sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy and axillary clearance. Main tumour characteristics analysed included grade, size, lymphovascular invasion and hormone status. Nodal metastasis characteristics analysed included grade of metastasis, nuclear grade,mitotic count / 300 cells, Ki-67/10HPF and Ki-67 per 300 cells.
Results: 59 patients (87%) had 1 or 2 positive SLNs and 17 (29%) of these had further positive nodes on axillary dissection. Of these 17 patients 7 (12%) were upstaged. Of these patients the average tumour size was larger in those who were upstaged by their axillary dissection compared to those who remained at the same stage (3.4cm vs. 2.4cm). Tumour grade,lymphovascular invasion, receptor status, SLN metastasis grade, Ki-67/10HPF and per 300 cells on the SLN metastasis and mitotic count /300cells on the SLN metastasis were not associated with nodal upstaging at subsequent axillary dissection (p= > 0.05).
Conclusions: If the results of the Z0011 trial are applied as currently suggested a significant number of patients will be understaged by omission of axillary clearance (12%). Tumour size is larger in these understaged patients, suggesting further analysis of this parameter in predicting non sentinel lymph node metastasis in T1- T2 tumours with one or two positive sentinel lymph nodes is warranted.

Michael Lardie Of Great White Finds 'Elation' With Latest Album + Current Lineup
We spoke with Great White keyboardist Michael Lardie about the current state of Great White and his tenure in Night Ranger.
We spoke with Great White keyboardist Michael Lardie about the current state of Great White and his tenure in Night Ranger.
Great White's commercial breakthrough, '...Twice Shy,' was released on April 12, 1989.
On Feb. 20, 2003, during a Great White show at the Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island, 100 people lost their lives and over 200 were injured in a fire caused by the band's pyrotechnic display.
Lorne Black, a former bassist with Great White, has died. Brave Words is reporting that he passed away on Sept. 27.
Great White's most recent reunion ended with original singer Jack Russell out of the lineup and fighting for the right to use the band's name -- a fight that's now ended in what looks like a rock 'n' roll draw.
Great White's ever-shifting lineup is too complicated for all but the most ardent fans of the band -- which now includes two separate touring incarnations and the ever-present threat of a lawsuit. But no matter who's in the group, one thing remains the same: The shadow cast by the fire that claimed the lives of 100 people at a Great White show on Feb. 20, 2003.
Next February will make 10 years since a fire at a Great White show at the Station Nightclub in Rhode Island claimed 100 lives. Co-founder and guitarist Mark Kendall says his relationship with the victims families is what's helped him through the tragedy.
Great White singer Jack Russell was involved in a drunken boat crash recently, but as the now-sober rocker proudly explains, he wasn't the one causing the damage, and luckily nobody got hurt very badly.

About Hilari:
The reason I say that I write "ethically ambiguous" SF and fantasy is that I'm generally not interested in good vs. evil dilemmas. Every villain is the hero of his own story, and the people who do the most harm in this world almost always start out with good intentions.
Someone asked me once why my books tended to about "shades of gray" instead of black and white. I could have said that good vs. evil is boring—because it is. What self-respecting protagonist is going to choose evil over good? Good vs. good is harder...and evil vs. evil, with no way out of the choice, is much harder. And what about when good and evil are inextricably intertwined? But the answer I gave, the one that's honest, is that when I write SF and fantasy I try to make it true. True to the way people really are, to the way the world really works...and in the real world, for real people, it's all shades of gray. It's flawed people, making the best of the available bad choices for good reasons, because there is no simple solution. Which makes writing about them a lot more fun.
My personal life? I was born in Denver in 1958you can do the math. I'm single and live with my mother, brother and sister-in-law. I used to be a part time reference librarian for a mid-sized public library, but in the beginning of '05 I achieved a writer's dream and quit the day job. Librarian turned writer is a very schizophrenic statewhen I try to urge people to buy my books, I have to beat down a lifetime of professional reflexes demanding that I tell them to check them out at the library instead.
I enjoy board gaming and fantasy gaming, both table top and live. But
my favorite thing to do is the decadent version of camping my mom and I
practice. We have a pop-up trailer with a fridge, a sink, a stove and (if
electrical hookups are available) a space heater, heating pads and a toaster.
Our motto is "No unnecessary work." We don't cook, we don't wash
dishes, we don't...you name it. What we do is spend all day, every day,
reading and hiking and reading some more. Camping is the only time I can
get in enough reading. Well, I take that backwhen it comes to reading,
there's no such thing as enough.
Don't know where to start? Saggy middle? Climax a dud? If you suffer from any or all of these problems, you need the Plot Doctors.
Anna-Maria and I are notorious in our critique group for rewriting everyone's story structure, so we figured we might as well turn our favorite vice...ah, all that expertise, into a small side business. Check it out at: PlotDoctors.com

2012 Predictions for Blizzard: Social features, pandas, and summertime {WoW}
Jan 6th 2012 2:13PM My prediction (hope)?
Since Pandas will have an Alliance/Horde choice, there will be a few factions splitting off from the Horde/Alliance. Mists of Pandaria will be less about race and more about a war of Nations and ideologies.
There's still a great schism in the Horde, and I don't doubt there's a great deal of Tauren out there who will leave. I see a splinter group of Tauren joining the Alliance to directly oppose Garrosh. Vol'jin's already shown he will work with the Alliance.
With the Alliance, we have the Dark Iron dwarves, a group that seems like it would favour the conquering / militaristic society of the horde. I can see some gnomes going Horde just to show 'we're better than goblins'
What I WISH?
cross-faction partying/guilding. EQ2 can do it and keep the hostilities strong. Other games can do it.

Breakfast Topic: What do you want from 5-man content? {WoW}
Nov 15th 2011 12:53AM Me? I'd like them to do something like Rift does with their 5-man content. Their heroics (known as 'expert') take the harder dungeon theme one step further. Not only is gear better, but the heroic dungeons are sometimes 2x as long, with new areas and as many as 3-4 more bosses. It's one of the biggest failings of going into heroics in WoW that aside from new mechanics and gear... there's nothing ELSE that's new.

It's not exactly clear... some are saying one, some are saying the other.
If it's only 9 heroics, then boooo... that's LESS new dungeons than Cata. If it's 9 dungeons and a total of 12 heroics? mmm, yay!
The Lawbringer: The relationship between Blizzard and PayPal {WoW}
Sep 17th 2011 9:21AM Ah, Robert? Fellow Canuck here.
CIBC now has a VISA Debit card that uses the US / worldwide system of the VISA network to withdraw from your bank account rather than your credit card. I'm guessing that they finally realized that not having a VISA debit system was insanely stupid when even third-world countries often used VISA debit.
I use the thing to have money taken directly from my bank account and don't use paypal for my sub anymore. Same with LOTRO. Have bought stuff from Amazon.ca and Chapters.ca the same way. Love the thing.
Don't know about RBC/Scotia/BMO/TD Canada Trust though...

Considering 'Lord Prestor' said he came from Northeron... it kind of makes sense. I'll bet the zone opens for dailies in the 'Deathwing Patch' like the Firelands daily zone is opening for this one.
Breakfast Topic: Azerothian technology {WoW}
Jun 16th 2011 8:40AM I love the steampunk feel, more the Gnomish, which is whimsical and pretty, than the Goblins, which feel sleazy and ugly. Seriously... I hated the Goblin starter zone so much I couldn't finish it.
The steampunk genre is far too underrepresented... and WoW, really is Steampunk Fantasy. Airships, gadgets, titan tech, basic airplanes, cannons, guns... all of it just adds to it. That steampunk feel is why I love the game, because it's quite unusual.
Hmm... I have an idea for a breakfast topic.... "What starting zone do you HATE?" or, to expand it, "Which zone do you hate, period."

Our IPv6 Monitoring project has now been gathering data on IPv6 adoption for several years. It has also been tracking basic web performance when accessing web sites over either Ipv6 and Ipv4 to determine if and why differences may still be present. Most of the data is available on the project web site that also boasts a "query" page that allows you to customize the type of data you want to retrieve. (See the project's original introductory presentation -the audio unfortunately only starts about 7 mins into the presentation- given at the Summer 2010 ESCC/Internet2 Joint Techs conference). The project started as a joint project with Comcast and was subsequently supported by an NSF grant that enabled us to better explore the data we were gathering as well as improve the web interface that provides access to the data.

Hi Lucy,
For comfort, durability and value..look at the Sealy Posturepedic Reserve in a cushion firm. Add a topper to that for additional comfort, which allows you to replace only the topper when it compresses. If you spend the extra for a latex topper, the degree of comfort goes up and the topper will last longer.

What is the typical labor cost for tile installation if you're not doing anything fancy just laying 12 x 12 or 6 x6 tile. Excluding the cost of the tile but including thinset and grout materials?
We got our estimate for tiling and it seems they are charging us $18-22/square foot. I'm pretty sure the tile cost about $2-3/square foot although they didn't break it down. Thats seems really excessive for the labor portion. I'm going to talk to my builder and the tile store b/c that is well over our budget. My builder had allocated $10-12 square foot for labor and $2-3/square foot for tile. For example: In our basement bath-the cost to tile a 3x5 tub surround(about 78 sqaure feet) came in at $1818. I've chosen basic plain white 6 x 6 porcelain tile which I was told is pretty cheap. That is $23/sqaure feet. Laundry room: is approx 75 square feet. Cost $1343. $18/square foot. The tile is 12 x 12, 2 colors in a checkerboard pattern. Now it's possible that the tile I choose is too expensive,although online I've found it for less than $3/sqaure foot.I also made it clear that I wanted to be in the $2-3/square foot during the selection process. What am I missing? |

What am I missing? A couple more estimates. That sounds way high. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Tue, Jan 5, 10 at 15:14
Definitely get more estimates! Unless you live in an extremely high-cost city, that's outrageous. "In our basement bath-the cost to tile a 3x5 tub surround(about 78 sqaure feet) came in at $1818. I've chosen basic plain white 6 x 6 porcelain tile which I was told is pretty cheap. That is $23/sqaure feet." I had a 3x5 tub surround tiled with 6" porcelain for way less than that. I don't have the break down at hand, but for 2 toilet replacements, two sink replacements, remove and replace old tub with new one, re-do surround walls with appropriate material and that pink glop, and tile new surround I paid <$900 for labor and installation materials. I bought the visible parts myself ... toilets, tub, tile, grout, sinks, faucets. The contractor provided the supporting stuff like solder, pink glop, surround backing, etc. It's a good mix, because I knew what I wanted, and he knew what he needed to install it. |
Those prices are insanely high! I live in an affluent zip code as well, and we get quotes into the stratosphere because of it. The poster above got a terrific deal, which I believe is fairly atypical. We had a bit more work done for a total of $1,650. Here's a breakdown: Tile whole house floor (except bedrooms and baths), in 12" porcelain tile (purchased separately by homeowner) in straight-grid pattern: Home Depot: $4.00/sq. foot (not sure what it includes, or if you have to buy their tile). Bath remodel: Install Tyvek in surround area, R13 insulation, Hardibacker, backer sealant, install tile in 5'x 3' tub surround to ceiling, tile bathroom floor, plus, tile another small area in the living room: $1,000. Demo and remove old tub, install new drop-in tub with mortared base, plumb new shower supplies, install shower valve/diverter, replace tub drain and in-ground tub trap, install tub spout, valve cover, shower head, install new Toto toilet, install vanity fixture, drain and supplies: $650. |

Post-Bulletin: Three UFC Vets Will Fight In Rochester
Three Ultimate Fighting Championship veterans will be on the card, including Elgin's Tommy "The Farmboy" Speer, when Gladiators presents a mixed martial arts show Saturday at Graham Arena.
Speer, Brad Kohler and Chad Reiner are competing, and all have experience with MMA's top organization, the UFC.
The fight card includes six professional bouts and five amateur fights. Three Gladiators championship belts also will be on the line.
Speer (12-5) returns to action for the first time since he defeated Jeremy Lafferty in Rochester on May 15. He could face his biggest challenge ever in Rochester when he takes on highly ranked Ashkan Morvari, who trains with American Top Team of Savage.
Morvari (8-3) is ranked No. 3 by Minnesota MMA News at 155 pounds. He will bump up a weight class to take on Speer, who is ranked No. 2 at 170.
Morvari is known as an elite wrestler with good ground-and-pound skills.
"I think he was a Division II wrestler, and I know he's got good cardio," Speer said. "I'm sure he'll try to make it a grinding wrestling match. But I'm fine with that. I just don't think he has as many tools as I do."
Speer continues to train at the Mario Roberto Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Rochester. Roberto's new gym opened in northwest Rochester, cutting Speer's commute from Elgin. Speer also has been working with Roberto's new strength and conditioning coach, Adam Rozmenoski.
"Having Adam there now is great; a lot of the elite fighters have their own personal trainer, and it feels like that's what I have now with Adam," Speer said.
Reiner (24-11), who trains in Nebraska, will get a major test from Minnesotan Robbie Gotreau at 170 pounds.
Reiner is a standout ground fighter with excellent jiu-jitsu skills, and Gotreau is one of the best wrestlers among Minnesota fighters. He was a three-time All-American at Augsburg and now has a 3-0 record in MMA. Gotreau also trains with the American Top Team in Savage. He is ranked No. 8.
Kohler, who owns one of the most replayed knockouts in UFC history, will take on local product Cam Befort, who is ranked No. 9 at heavyweight.
Kohler is now 46 years old and he has announced that this will be the last fight of his career. His last UFC fight was in 1999, and he's 1-1 since returning to MMA in 2010.
Two title fights are on the professional portion of the card: Zumbrota-Mazeppa graduate Travis Perzynski will take on Trevor Suter (15-4) for the Gladiators 155-pound title, and Rochester's Chris Barden faces Matt Gabel (5-1) for the 185-pound title.
Perzynski has rolled up a career record of 29-6-1 record and is ranked No. 2 at 155. The former Team Crazy member is now training with the Minnesota Fight Factory in the Twin Cities.
Suter was a collegiate wrestler down in Iowa.
Barden has been training with Aaron Vold at Compound MMA. He will be tested by Gabel, who is another outstanding wrestler from Iowa.
Finally, Team Crazy's Ryan Stock will take on Derek Abram at 165 pounds.
The amateur portion of the card features a pair of former Byron High School standouts.
Eric Yngsdal is 2-0 in MMA and will take on Wisconsin's Mike Zinda at 155 pounds. Yngsdal is a former Class AA state wrestling champion who went on to wrestle for a year at Minnesota State, Mankato. Yngsdal still is a student at MSU and trains with Mankato MMA.
Also on the card is Byron graduate Heath Rud. He'll take on Iowa's Cody Kiefer for the 185-pound Gladiators amateur title. Rud, a former high school wrestler taking classes at Rochester Community and Technical College, is 3-2 in MMA.
Tickets are $20 for general admission and $40 for reserved table seating. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and fights are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.

SAN DIEGO, September 13, 2011—First Amendment activists cheered the recent opinion out of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit released on August 26, 2011, which ruled that a private citizen's right to videotape police officers performing their duties in a public space is "unambiguously" protected by the First Amendment. (Glik v. Cunniffe, et al., No. 10-1764 (1st Cir. Aug. 26, 2011).
Boston resident Simon Glik witnessed three police officers making an arrest in 2007. Concerned that officers were using excessive force, he recorded the arrest with his cellphone. Officers confronted Glik and when he refused to stop videotaping the arrest, he was arrested.
Among the offenses he was charged with violating were Massachusetts' wiretapping laws. Glik filed a civil rights action against the officers and the City of Boston for violating his First and Fourth Amendment rights.
Glik's First Amendment rights prevailed. Writing for the majority, Judge Kermit Lipez explained that the First Amendment not only prohibits establishing laws against freedom of speech, but also "encompasses a range of conduct related to the gathering and dissemination of information." Citizens have the right to observe actions and proceedings and investigate the facts that foster the free reporting and discussion of government affairs. They also have the right to share what they learn with fellow citizens.
The Court of Appeals reminds us that these rights are not restricted to so-called "professional" journalists. Journalism is the product of citizens, and increasingly there is little importance placed on whether or not an individual draws a paycheck from a media organization to do so.
Judge Lipez offers an astute observation about the nature of journalism in the 21st century so vitally important as to be worth labeling profound. Judge Lipez acknowledged the revolutionary role of technology giving the "average" citizen the ability to gather and disseminate news as individuals:
"Moreover, changes in technology and society have made the lines between private citizen and journalist exceedingly difficult to draw. The proliferation of electronic devices with video-recording capability means that many of our images of current events come from bystanders with a ready cell phone or digital camera rather than a traditional film crew, and news stories are now just as likely to be broken by a blogger at her computer as a reporter at a major newspaper.
"Such developments make clear why the news-gathering protections of the First Amendment cannot turn on professional credentials or status." (Columnist italics added). The judge added, "News stories are now just as likely to be broken by a blogger at her computer as a reporter at a major newspaper."
Hallelujah and pass the keyboard and the camera. Judge Lipiz gets it. The First Amendment wasn't written to protect reporters. It was written to protect citizens in the form of the State from the federal government, AKA Congress.
Professional journalists are citizens. What we lost sight of in the United States is that journalists are first and foremost "average citizens," acting on behalf of fellow average citizens. They are not a privileged class. With the exception of shield laws in 40 states, they are afforded no special rights under the Constitution beyond those enjoyed by every ordinary citizen.
As Judge Lipez states, being a journalist does not require a license or any particular training. We lost sight of this in the United States when journalists became celebrities.
Those who decry the demise of professional journalism have a point. We need people with the dedicated time and resources to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted. There is wisdom in teaching people how to procure public records and bridge the gap from rumors to facts.
But professionalism is not determined by a paycheck. Journalists are not anointed in some way with special rights or powers, and we would all do well to remember this. It may pain them to think so, but journalists are no more or less intelligent than their audience.
With any right comes responsibility. Those presenting an accurate depiction of events must demonstrate above all a loyalty to journalistic truth, or any covenant with the audience over credibility becomes tainted. They must verify facts, put them into context, and disclose sources, methods and biases so the audience can engage in its own assessment process of the information. As NBC News reporter Chuck Todd has said, "Transparency is the new objectivity."
The First Amendment, which prohibits Congress from restricting the freedom of speech, press, and religion, was created by our Founding Fathers to protect citizens from the tyranny of censored speech. What is vitally important is that is not be used to permit tyranny by one group of citizens (the professional media) over another to control who is afforded the privilege and respect of that speech.

James has a request and suggestion I think would make a great blog topic. He wants to talk about ways to use our new found BA miles. Here is his email and please feel free to post your suggestions in the comments section for everyone to see…
I haven't been reading much…because there just haven't been the number of promos out there. Hope all is well with you. Was thinking it might be nice to see what inventive deals people had come up with for BA miles.
Want to go "last minute" to Hawaii to take advantage of shoulder season weather or spring break? Thought I'd give a heads up for those who took advantage of the BA Visa offer… American Airlines is now charging 22.5k for one-way "peak season" travel to and from Hawaii, which ends in late August. BA charges 17.5k miles each way in economy all year. There isn't a whole lot of availability from the east coast to, say LIH, but dates abound for west coast connecting cities thru LAX are much better. You can find availability for each direction at the 22.5k level, then logon to your BA account at the BA.com Executive Club homepage to book with BA miles by typing departure and destination airports. When a message comes up saying "British Airways does not fly all or part of this route", click on the "Include Partners" button, and partner flight information for AA flights should appear. There are no additional fees (above what AA would charge online) for doing this, and unlike American, there is no 1-21 days out booking fee per ticket. (7-21 days: $50 for 1st ticket, $25 for add'l on same res.; 1-6 days: $100 for 1st ticket, $25 for add'l. on same res.).
For our family of 3, it would take 30,000 more AA miles than BA miles to make this trip before August. If we wanted to travel within 21 days, it would cost an extra $100-$150 dollars.
I'd love to see other deals for BA miles as well, rather than read through the 100+ page FT thread.
Also love that BA miles could be used on AS for airfare to Alaska where airfares from the west coast are running $550+

And another tip from James:
Need an award flight to Bermuda? Looks like BA considers Bermuda within North America on their award chart – AA does not – yet another 10k round trip savings in coach (25k vs 35k) or Business (50k vs 60k)

C57BL/6J and 129S6/Sv (B6 and 129) mice differ dramatically in their susceptibility to developing diabetes in response to diet- or genetically induced insulin resistance. A major locus contributing to this difference has been mapped to a region on mouse chromosome 14 that contains the gene encoding PKCδ. Here, we found that PKCδ expression in liver was 2-fold higher in B6 versus 129 mice from birth and was further increased in B6 but not 129 mice in response to a high-fat diet. PRKCD gene expression was also elevated in obese humans and was positively correlated with fasting glucose and circulating triglycerides. Mice with global or liver-specific inactivation of the Prkcd gene displayed increased hepatic insulin signaling and reduced expression of gluconeogenic and lipogenic enzymes. This resulted in increased insulin-induced suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis, improved glucose tolerance, and reduced hepatosteatosis with aging. Conversely, mice with liver-specific overexpression of PKCδ developed hepatic insulin resistance characterized by decreased insulin signaling, enhanced lipogenic gene expression, and hepatosteatosis. Therefore, changes in the expression and regulation of PKCδ between strains of mice and in obese humans play an important role in the genetic risk of hepatic insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and hepatosteatosis; and thus PKCδ may be a potential target in the treatment of metabolic syndrome.
