Nissan is using the Sao Paulo auto show to reveal the Extrem concept, the company's first concept car that was designed both in and for the Brazilian market. The two-door, 2+2 crossover concept is a design study and won't be put into production.
The Nissan Extrem is built on the company's V platform, which underpins a variety of small Nissans like the Cube, Leaf, and Micra. The Extrem concept measures 151.6 long and 69.5 inches wide, about half a foot shorter than the Nissan Juke compact crossover. Its daring styling includes a sharply raked contrast-color roof, flush door handles, cutouts in the A-pillars to improve visibility, angular headlights that recall those of the 370Z sports car, vertical foglights, and a gaping black grille with a large chrome Nissan emblem. The bright Solar Cortex paint contrasts with wraparound tinted glass that is designed to create a floating roof look.
The compact cabin has a special two-level cargo compartment with a removable cargo cover for hiding valuables beneath the steeply angled rear window. The turbine-like 19-inch wheels are designed to pass extra cooling air to the brakes. Nissan says the Extrem concept uses the same turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four as the Juke, with a choice between front-wheel drive and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive -- just like the Juke. Given the styling direction and the fact that the platform and powertrain are common, it appears that the Extrem concept is essentially a tarted-up two-door version of the Juke.
"We see it as an urban rally car, a tough little street fighter that can handle the urban jungle with agility and confidence," project senior design manager Robert Bauer said in a statement.
Even though the Extrem will likely never make it past the concept stage, Nissan says the car's design and styling will inform future products in the Brazilian market. Nissan plans to launch eight new models in Brazil over the next four years, in order to bump its market share there to five percent.

I have to replace the iron railing on my small front porch and steps. The porch is concrete. It's not a big job, but will run into some money, and will impact the appearance of the front of the house, which is brick. The three options for railing that I'm considering are iron, aluminum, and vinyl (ala Home Depot). The price of materials for vinyl is $600-800 from what I can determine; then I'd need to install or pay for installation. My neighbor (who seems to know) says that iron could run me $1500. I had read that aluminum is cheaper than iron, but I'm not sure. I found a website for railingworks.com and I like the looks of their products. I plan to submit a request for a quote from them. I don't care for the white vinyl look as much. Iron or aluminum come in colors, including black. Any information on the relative costs of each of these types, or other comments?
Another question: If there's enough left in the budget, we'd like to have the porch and steps faced in brick or pavers. Obviously it would be best to do this before railing installation, but that may not be possible. Thoughts on uninstalling railing from the concrete at a later date? Terrible idea? Thanks, Steve A |

Aluminum is defently not cheaper than Steel. Usually there is a local welding outfit that makes up steel rail these guys are the place to start.Several ways exist to fasten the rail posts to the slab. www.kingmetals.com will give you an idea of componet cost and the wide range that can be done in steel or alum. John |
I would suggest finding a local supplier that carries Fortress iron rails. They have several styles to choose from, are easy to install & affordable. I'm not sure what their website is but, you can view it at my suppliers site, www.austinwholesaledecking.com If you are in fact going to install the railing first then putting down bricks on the patio I'd suggest raising the rail 2 1/2" (or whatever the heigth of the bricks/pavers are) that way you don't have to uninstall/install. Also you'll get a better connection to concrete than bricks. Al |
Thanks, guys. Those are helpful suggestions. I will get on the phone and get some local estimates. Steve |

Storm No Problem with DBM Reception Honoring Dr. Presley
CLARKSDALE With torrential rains drumming staccato rhythms atop the Delta Blues Museum roof Thursday, an upbeat attitude prevailed below with community leaders praising Dr. Vivian Presley and her 38 years of leadership at Coahoma Community College.
No one but Vivian Presley could draw this crowd in such a storm, commented one of the presenters taking turns reading official resolutions honoring CCCs fourth president for her many accomplishments.
With guests milling around the museums handsome new Muddy Waters addition and eyeing a splendid spread of appetizers created by CCC Chef Brennon Warr and his culinary students, plus a Sally Chow cake, retired Friars Point principal James Shelby was focused on the vintage 1941 Ford automobile displayed inside the room.
When he was growing up, he said his family had a black one just like it.
Wed pile as many of 10 of us in it and drive to Clarksdale for a double feature at the New Roxy, he told Ed Peacock and others.
Tickets for the picture show, he said, were 50 cents and a large popcorn was a dime.
When the museum program began, CCC vice president Rosemary Lamb, who organized the retirement events committee, recited Dr. Presleys numerous honors.
DBM director Shelley Ritter, focused on Presleys energy, interests and enthusiastic collaboration on joint community projects with the museum and others.
Another presenter asked, Have you ever seen her when she wasnt smiling?
City attorney Curtis Boschert presented an official resolution from the City of Clarksdale, and three members of the Coahoma County Board of Supervisors evoked much more than a smile when they unveiled their gift of a shining red guitar autographed by the board.
Now, I can begin a new career, quipped Presley.
Thanking the audience, CCCs president quickly redefined and expanded the personal high praise and accolades as accomplishments we did together.

(Australia, England, France 29 Apr 1875 – 28 May 1963)
27.0 x 40.8 cm sight
Printed in 1947 by Silk and Textile Printers, Sydney, for their Modernage Fabrics, this piece was produced in seven different colour schemes on fine wool fabric; a few examples were also printed on heavy rayon fabric.
(from Roger Butler, catalogue raisonné, 'The prints of Margaret Preston', NGA, 2005)
This fabric design resulted from a unique collaboration between Australian artists and the commercial textile industry during 1946-47. The enterprise was remarkable because it was then common practice to buy fabric designs from overseas for printing in Australia.
Claudio Alcorso director of Silk and Textile Printers, invited a large group of Australian artists to make designs for furnishings and fashion. After a trial run in 1946, the 'Modernage' range of fabrics was launched the following year and exhibited at Sydney's Hotel Australia, where girls dressed in some of the fabrics sold copies of the specially produced book 'A new approach to textile designing by a group of Australian artists', published by Sydney Ure Smith. The latter illustrated 46 designs by 33 artists with notes by each artist and essays by key figures in the enterprise, including Art Gallery of New South Wales director Hal Missingham. While some artists worked as though creating paintings, others like those shown here, gave greater consideration to the need for repetition of the design whilst preserving an overall unity of effect.
There was widespread publicity, with newspaper and magazine stories and displays in the windows of David Jones department store. The fabric range was displayed to similar acclaim in Melbourne, with subsequent tours to the USA and Canada. Despite both critical and popular acclaim however, it met with only limited commercial success, which Alcorso later attributed to a post-war climate of conservatism in Australia.

Tue, May 29, 12 at 2:00
Hi all, Here is the problem. On the East side of my house along the property line my neighbor has planted about seven young oleanders. As we all know, oleanders are a beautiful, messy, poisonous plant. They are planted about six inches from the small brick wall on my property line. Technically, I guess you could say she planted them on my property, because my little brick wall is about six inches on my side of the property line. She's a nice lady and if she wants the oleanders I'm not going to say anything. I haven't planted anything on the small spit of land beside my driveway yet. My property is situated along N,S, E, W compass points. My carport is next to the East side of the property and she planted along that side. So the sun will travel from one side of the oleanders causing shadows along the small spit of land beside the driveway, over top at noon then I would think the land between the oleanders and the driveway will be in the sun after noon goes by.
Now here is the question, do you think once the oleanders grow tall anything I plant there will not get enough sun, and what do you think I should plant? The area is about 10 feet long by 3 feet wide. I worry she'll let them grow unhampered without trimming them and it may be hard to see on coming traffic when I back out of the driveway. I hope I explained things well enough. So, anyone have any input on this conundrum? Anything I plant will need to be drought tolerant,and need little care. |
Follow-Up Postings:
She may not be aware that she planted them on your property. I'd assume the wall was the property line as well. If I were you I would probably catch her while she is outside watering and ask her what her plans for the hedge is. Problem solved. That said, almost every plant I've come across appreciates a little shade in the desert regardless how drought tolerant. It would be better if that shade was in the afternoon of course, but in my opinion the lack of morning sun probably wouldn't do any damage. PS it is also "possible" she planted a dwarf type oleander. |
- Posted by tomatofreak Z9 Phx USA (My Page) on Wed, May 30, 12 at 0:21
IF she planted dwarf oleanders, you may be worrying needlessly. I would ask her just what they are. If they're the ordinary, unruly, messy, always-dropping-something kind, I think I'd offer to pay her now to take them out! We once owned the house next door and there are oleanders planted next to our back yard fence. Sure enough, the person we sold to **never** takes care of them and my back patio/work area is a constant mess. I could kick myself for not cutting the blasted things down when I had the house. You might nicely remind her that once you plant on your side of the fence, you will have to keep *her* oleanders trimmed away from your property. It is your legal right to trim any vegetation overhanging your property line - and it is quite often the beginning of a fight when you do. It is much better to have an understanding between two neighbors before ever getting to that point. |
I didn't know there was such a thing as dwarf Oleanders. I'll ask her next time I see her. I'll also talk to her about trimming and mention that it will have to be trimmed shorter close to the street. I don't mind chipping in on the work and I don't mind the property line being blurred right there. I have to admit I've been lax on my landscaping lately due to health and the fact that sudden cold snaps in the past two years have killed many of my plants. My aloe are all but dead. They look dead but the roots are OK in a few areas. I have a terrible crab grass problem along there. I don't know how many times I've cleared it out of there. Lois and I both have the same problem, we can't work in the sunlight. We have to restrict our gardening to dusk, dark or dawn, lol, isn't getting old fun? I hope she did get the dwarf but the plant selection around here isn't very large. |

WPDFD Issue #7 - October 01, 1998
INTERFACE by Joe Gillespie Whoa, man! You have never seen such a car in your life! Low. Sleek. Absolutely stunning. You can't find a door, but it is so low to the ground that you can easily climb in through the opening in the roof. The long, soft, bucket seat moulds to your body like a glove. Your feet fall naturally onto two pedals on the floor below. There is no steering wheel or any sign of the usual controls that clutter a car's dashboard, but just at your fingertips are a set of flat, tactile pads.
Almost every area of art and design has some kind of technological dimension. At it's most basic, you have to be aware of what happens when you mix paints and apply them to paper or canvas. Further along the scale, you have things like printmaking, ceramics and sculpture when a significant degree of technical skill is essential to master the techniques. In graphic design, you need a good knowledge of print technology and when you get to architecture and automotive design, the technology becomes inextricably entwined with the creative process.

Plugmold plugs into one outlet. With plugmold you have the tendency to over plug appliances into them, thereby potentially overloading the circuit. Other than that, Plugmold, and wiremold are both very useful products. |
- Posted by spencer_electrician (My Page) on Mon, Mar 20, 06 at 19:09
Plug mold plugs into one outlet? didnt think it plugged into anything. The thing is the plug mold has to be on 2 different 20 amp circuits and needs gfci protection. Run atleast 2 seperate 12/2 lines to gfci breakers, connect each romex to each plug mold strip. Have one going one way with circuit and the other going the other way on its own circuit is one possibility for different circuits. Drawbacks, just remember you'll have to look down and up at the cabinets if it is mounted underneath, makes it kind of hard to find the plug as to being right in front of you. I assume youy would mount it up high on the cabinet, if it is mounted right to the back splash, obviously the cosmetics would look like school or public building wiring. |

"With plugmold you have the tendency to over plug appliances into them, thereby potentially overloading the circuit." Can you explain this? How is this any different than having several duplexes or quads on the backsplash? |
Hey Max...I've read your advice in this forum with some interest for a while. I've now some for you - please don't dispense advice unless you've actually worked with the item in question. By "worked" I mean physically installed or serviced. Conversely, "worked", means neither "read about", nor "saw it while walking down the electrical aisle". In addition, offering advice based on what you know from a similar discipline can get you into trouble. I had my head handed to me (rightfully so) on this forum for doing the very same thing. If you want to help, study up and get your hands dirty. Otherwise, answer only questions to which you absolutely familiar. I'm not a sparky - just a DIY'er who learned the hard way. So take my advice for what it's worth. Peace. Marco |
- Posted by spencer_electrician (My Page) on Tue, Mar 21, 06 at 12:27
He must of thought the plug mold is like an adapter that runs off an existing plug, if it was then yeah suppose it could be filled with coffee maker and microwave and may be only rated for 15 amps. But plug mold is an actual 20 amp receptacle strip. Main mis-use of it I have seen in kitchens is a remodeler or DIY gets carried away and doesnt bother to seperate it to atleast 2 gfci circuits. Sometimes it is feed it off a general light circuit and run it all around the kitchen which is BAD, but when properly installed to code it's great. Might be a little hassle to reach up to the outlets though but some are ok with it to save their backsplash. |
The downside of plugmold is that you will have dangling cords hanging from it. Unless you unplug your coffeemaker, mixer, toaster, etc. each time you are done with them, you will be looking at unsightly dangling cords. Also, if you do decide to unplug each appliance after use, when you go to plug them in again, you will have to crane your neck up to see the outlet in the plugmold. I think a better solution is to have the outlets in the backsplash, but install them as close to the countertop as code allows. That way, you can have your coffeemaker, toaster, etc. standing in front of the outlets and hiding them since the outlets are placed low, and you won't have any cords dangling either. |
Does that mean A plugmode stripe can acommodate 2 circuits so that alternate receptacles use seperate circuits on the same stripe? I know all outlets on wall are usually alternately wired using 2 20 amp small appliance curcuits, Can a plugmode wired like that for each receptacles? |
Most plugmold is wired single circuit. |
Uh, guys ... plugmold comes in both flavors, corded and hardwired. Look here. I have a strip of the corded type in my workshop. Great stuff. |
thank you, and yes, I have used this product and yes, I do have experience with Plugmold. |
- Posted by baldwin_hobo (My Page) on Wed, Mar 22, 06 at 14:26
Pllugmold comes in many flavors. One of the more common is two circuits, either fifteen or twenty amps, with the receptacles alternating on the two circuits. |
- Posted by spencer_electrician (My Page) on Wed, Mar 22, 06 at 15:54
If you got an alternating plugmold my guess is it shares a neutral as a multiwire circuit does. Since it will need gfci protection if it is multiwire across the plugmold, a double pole gfci breaker would be needed, not two seperates on different legs. To everyone else, a multiwire circuit won't trip a gfci as long as it is double pole right? In the kitchen you would need the 20 amp version and with 2 circuits, you want to run 12/3 with ground to it with a double pole gfcb. |
A 240 V (2 pole) GFCI is a rather expensive breaker. It is cheaper to run sections of plugmold on two differnet circuits. It is not very common to need two appliances on the same short section of counter. Cut the plugmold into pieces 1 cabinet wide and it fits nicels. Every other section is on the 'other' circuit. |
Posted by: davidr on Tue, Mar 21, 06 at 18:31 Uh, guys ... plugmold comes in both flavors, corded and hardwired. Look here (link). ---------------------------------------------------------- RE: plugmold in a kitchen thank you, and yes, I have used this product and yes, I do have experience with Plugmold. ---------------------------------------------------------- My apologies to maxthedog.

I am not a big plugmold fan. There are some folks that don't like receptacles in the back splash for what ever reason. We wire it with 12/2 on dedicated 20 amp GFCI circuits. This stuff can be a SOB to install. |
I want to have plug molds installed in my kitchen remodel: small 71/2 foot by 13 foot kitchen in San Francisco. The place was built in 1990, so the electrics are up to current code. But I'm having trouble finding someone who has experience installing this, and SF has very restrictive building codes... Anyone know the best quality brands and how to do the GFCI thingy in San Francisco? Thanks Anyone |
- Posted by petey_racer (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 17:02
Well, there are not many brands to choose from, and they are all ugly and a huge P-I-A to work with. And the "GFI thingy" should be no problem for your electrician. |
I would recommend Wiremold/Legrand for ANY plugmold needs. Home Depot sells T.R. stainless plugmold for about $100 for 36" piece. Keep in mind, if it is mounted just above the backsplash, it has more "nooks and crannies" to clean than a couple receptacles. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Stainless plugmold
"The downside of plugmold is that you will have dangling cords hanging from it...." From my standpoint, as a heavy kitchen user, having the cords off the countertop means less cord-cleaning. I'd rather have them hanging from the bottom of the cabinets than lying on the counter-top. This thread reminds me of something that I ran across a few months ago. Has anyone ever worked with something like this? http://www.uecorp.com/raceway/default.aspx It is probably pretty expensive for a kitchen. |

Virginia-based carrier challenges status quo
Offers customers true wireless freedom
2/25/2014, 3:17 p.m.
Paying for more wireless than you actually need? Have a teen that exceeds your family data limits month after month, leaving you with hefty overages and surprise charges? Or, are you simply tired of trying to read the fine print and find the best value for you and your family? You're not alone, and that's why nTelos Wireless is changing the wireless experience, urging consumers to stand up and demand more.
nTelos is spearheading a revolution that the company says is soundly based on industry-wide consumer attitudes and behaviors. Wireless consumers are concerned about surprise charges, data limits, hidden fees and paying for services never used. Many families can't afford for everyone to have a smartphone, and nearly half of wireless consumers that leave their providers do so because prices continue to escalate.
"Wireless for the People is more than a tagline or an ad campaign, it's about creating a revolution for wireless freedom and taking a positive stand for wireless consumers," said Jim Hyde, president and CEO of nTelos Wireless. "Wireless for the People is about freedom. It's about never having to worry about hidden fees, data overage charges, or paying for features you don't need. Instead, we developed a strategy to deliver more. More phones, more lines, more data, and more control. nTelos has always been the best value in wireless, and that value is more evident now than ever before."
nControl, a nationwide wireless rate plan launched in late 2013, is one way nTelos is bringing the Wireless for the People concept to life. With nControl, customers have the flexibility to build their wireless plan based on specific family or individual needs. From one line of service to 12, nControl can be customized with voice, data and messaging options that offer consumers everything they want, and nothing they don't. There's also an option for truly unlimited data, so consumers can use their smartphones and never have to worry about surprise charges.
"nControl simplifies the wireless experience and makes it easy for individuals and families to build their own best value plan," said Hyde. "Traditionally, wireless plans are constructed by the carrier, and the consumer has no opportunity for input. We'll let our customers customize their plans, share their features, and maximize their savings in a unique way. This facilitates wireless freedom, and that's revolutionary."
nTelos is also enabling wireless freedom in other ways. For example, consumers can get two iPhone 5c smartphones for what they'd pay for one at most competitors. And, with the latest LTE devices and high-speed, nationwide coverage, nTelos is the smart choice for families who want more control, more phones, more lines and truly unlimited data.

- Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel: "If you doubted their confidence as a contender, consider this: The Orlando Magic have at least thought about the idea of passing the L.A. Lakers in the standings in order to grab home-court advantage …should they face the defending champs again for the NBA title. That would also mean that the Magic already have thought about beating rivals Cleveland, Boston and Atlanta to get there. "We have mentioned it," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, when asked if his team has kept track of the Lakers, who are 54-21."
- John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com: "After his Magic resoundingly smashed the surging Dallas Mavericks to the tune of 97-82, [Jameer] Nelson reminded everyone surrounding his locker after the game that Orlando is still very much a championship contender and center Dwight Howard absolutely, positively should be in the MVP race. […] 'We know how good of a basketball team that we are. I'm not being cocky, but we know we can beat any team in this league when we play our style of basketball,' Nelson said. […] 'I know I'm biased because he's on my team and I might be criticized for it, but I really think Dwight should be the MVP, too,' Nelson said of Howard, who had 17 points, 20 rebounds and five blocked shots. 'The things he does go so far beyond just Defensive Player of the Year. He controls the paint, rebounds, blocks shots and scores. All of the rest of those MVP (candidates), they just score the basketball and don't rebound and defend like Dwight does.' "
- Randy Galloway of the Star-Telegram: "On the offensive end, the Mavs seemed intimidated, particularly by Dwight Howard super-manning in the middle, plus, as advertised, it was a Magic rain storm of 3's (a whopping 14-of-24). A question for Rick Carlisle. Coach, was that great D by them, or was that bad offensive execution by you? 'Probably both,' he said. 'That is a good defensive team. They are going to make it hard. We had Dirk [Nowitzki] going for a while, but once they locked in on him, things changed.' Of course, Carlisle made his most telling comment in leading off his postgame media session: 'The thing that killed us was the 3s. We made a real effort to run them off the line. But they hit those shots they were missing last time [in February, when the Mavs won by 10 in Orlando].' "
- Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News: " It's a bad sign in the NBA when the other team has twice as many 3-pointers as the number of assists you have. It was one of many bad signs for the Mavericks on Thursday night. They had problems at both ends of the floor, as playoff basketball arrived early and they weren't quite ready for it. The Orlando Magic took charge in the third quarter and clocked the Mavericks, 97-82, at American Airlines Center. […] While the Mavericks looked tired at times, it's hard to pinpoint the back-to-back as the problem. They were 11-7 on the second night of back-to-backs before Thursday.
- Jeff Caplan of ESPNDallas.com: "The Mavericks are in a fight for the No. 2 seed in the West, but they're hardly taking care of their home in the process. Clearly leg-weary from Wednesday's night's overtime struggle at Memphis, the Mavs were blown out by the well-rested Orlando Magic, 97-82. Still, with so much on the line, the Mavs were disappointingly sluggish on their home floor and fell to 3-3 at home since reeling off eight in a row during their 13-game win streak. They've had the awful blowout against the Knicks, a late collapse against the Celtics and now this double-digit loss that wasn't close since Orlando extended its seven-point halftime lead to 10 and then as many as 18 in the third quarter."
- Ben Q. Rock of Orlando Pinstriped Post: "If nothing else, this game is a lesson in the law of averages. The first time these teams played, the Magic missed 21 of their 25 three-pointers and got just 6 points on 3-of-19 shooting from their bench. The odds that Dallas would limit the league's fifth-best three-point-shooting team like that twice in one season were slim, and it showed. Within the first 2:07 of the second quarter, [Mickael] Pietrus hit a pair of triples to match the reserves' output from the last game. But he didn't stop there, scoring 9 more points the rest of the quarter with some aggressive, mostly in-control drives to the basket. Perhaps playing against his good friend Rodrigue Beaubois at the NBA level for the first time inspired him. Perhaps playing in the American Airlines Center, which he's lit up before, worked to his advantage. Perhaps the week off and new pair of sneakers helped. The reason isn't as important as the result, in this case. The Magic needed offense early, and Pietrus provided it."
- Rob Mahoney of The Two Man Game: "It was just a matter of time before Orlando's defense came around. Dwight Howard (18 points, 20 rebounds, five blocks) is one of the league's most influential defensive forces, and every block (and even goaltend) made the Mavs more and more nervous around the basket. Shawn Marion and Brendan Haywood passed up looks at the rim due to Howard's very presence, and many more Mavs faked themselves out of a rhythm as they approached the basket. There are certain award races this season that have discussions or arguments involved. Defensive Player of the Year is not one of them. No player in the league has a more profound impact on the defensive end, and that's just as obvious in what he does do (block shots, get mad rebounds, show aggressively on screens) as what he doesn't (deter opponents from coming in the lane, alter shot selection)."

There are three very separate elements to Clay Travis's most recent column for a website called Outkick The Coverage. The first is a fair criticism of Will Leitch's article for Sports On Earth in which the former Deadspin editor takes ESPN's Darren Rovell to task for being a subhuman piece of shit. The second is a self-aggrandizing exhibition of self-importance. The third is an exaggerated generalization of what the writer finds offensive about the sports blogosphere.
Let's begin with the first:
Will's column was the culmination of something I've noticed over the past couple of years, the sports blogosphere's descent into "Mean Girls." You remember "Mean Girls," right, the movie that suggested Lindsay Lohan was going to be a superstar, the script that vaulted Tina Fey into the limelight. (If you don't remember "Mean Girls," you're clearly much cooler than me, which may be a given). At its heart the movie was about a group of cliquish girls who didn't think for themselves and bullied everyone else around them. That's when it hit me, increasingly the sports blogosphere in a Twitter age has come to resemble the clique of mean girls at the center of that movie, a cabal of bloggers who all share the same opinions and band together to bully the same targets.
Mr. Dooley, a fictional literary construct of the humorist Finley Peter Dunne, once opined in a syndicated newspaper column from the early 20th century that "the newspaper does ivrything f'r us. It runs th' polis force an' th' ligislachure, baptizes th' young, marries th' foolish, comforts th' afflicted, afflicts th' comfortable, buries th' dead and' roasts thim aftherward."
A portion of this quote was later isolated by H.L. Mencken in his 1942 quotation collection to read:
It is the duty of a newspaper to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
The phrase was famously used in the 1960 film "Inherit The Wind," and from there it's become the mantra of a certain type of journalist. It's also a largely embraced ethos of the blogosphere to which Mr. Travis directs a good amount of harsh criticism. While the motivation behind such a directive could be selfish or altruistic or any quality between these two descriptives, it renders any comparison between the sports blogosphere (as imagined by Mr. Travis) and "Mean Girls," or any other group of bullies, inaccurate.
Bullies project downward. They are comfortable, and they inflict brutish behavior on the already afflicted. This is what makes their actions so distasteful. They come from a position of social or physical power and use it to diminish those over whom an authority is already granted. Bullies, as seen in "Mean Girls," are the popular ones.
As Mr. Travis himself notes:
You can dislike Dick Vitale or Chris Berman or Lou Holtz, but in public these guys are rock stars. The vast majority of the general public loves them. We can debate what that says about the general public, but the sports blogosphere's biggest flaw is that they believe their opinions represent the majority opinion. They don't. Not at all. The sports blogosphere's opinion is a tiny minority opinion that isn't representative of the larger population's opinion.
Challenging the generally accepted thoughts and opinions of authorities is the exact opposite of bullying.
It's unfortunate that Mr. Travis relies on such inaccurate generalities because masked in the mire of his blundering comparison is a truth about group think that actually relates to Leitch's article on Rovell. The vast majority of people likely don't hate the commodifier of sports culture. Imagining that they do is an example of the sheltering that plagues those operating within the confines of social media.
I imagine that Leitch, just like me, uses social media to interact most frequently with individuals of like mind. This skews our understanding through the over-confirmation of the beliefs that we hold to be true. However, instead of investigating the evidence of this in Leitch's article, Mr. Travis instead decides on a path that leads to a weaponsmith for the sole purpose of ensuring that his axe is properly ground.
Adding to the distastefulness of his obvious ulterior motives is the self-infatuated manner with which he goes about expressing himself. He refers to himself in the first person more than 60 times in the article, most egregiously in a paragraph with no purpose other than to inform the reader of his work history, which he presumably deems to place him in a position of authority.
I started writing online because I didn't like practicing law and I wanted to give other lawyers ten or fifteen minutes of escape from practicing the law a day. That was my audience, other lawyers who were bored at work. The explosion of online writing opportunity was a godsend for me, it's hard for me to even conceptualize what I'd be doing if I'd been born a few years earlier. For me, writing about sports online was a hobby that I never thought would become an avocation. Nine years after I wrote my first online word in 2004. I'm still doing the same thing I was back then, trying to entertain people who are bored at work.
Cool story, bro.
It's amazing that someone who comes across as being so self-obsessed would simultaneously seem to lack a shred of self-awareness. Mr. Travis essentially uses the Leitch piece to further his negative ruminations on the sports blogosphere as a whole. His method for discrediting online writers: Depending on generalizations to prove that all sports bloggers depend on generalizations. His secondary means: Inventing a straw man goal for the self-created generalization, and then suggesting that they've all failed to hit the target at which he's imagined an entire group of individuals to be aiming.
Sports bloggers were supposed to be the fount of independent thought, the voices that would lead us out of the mainstream media morass, an oasis in a desert of vapid cliches. Instead they've all turned into the same person. A decade after it began the sports blogger "revolution" has basically boiled down to a bunch of overeducated white guys who all share the same opinions, writing for the same small audience and picking on a big new target every few months. What happened to the cacophony of different voices, the myriad of opinions that was going to change the sports media forever?
The tradition of separating online content providers into neat classifications of journalist and blogger is a practice that's growing as increasingly futile as the differences between the false subsets are becoming extinct. Imagining divisions between the two for the sole purpose of narrow-minded classification is backwards and ignorant of progress. Even as the duties of each become increasingly blurred, what we would traditionally refer to as journalists and what we would traditionally refer to as bloggers have come to compliment each other in a fashion that has made each party far less powerful individually.
This, among many other things, is what Mr. Travis fails to realize in carrying out his own personal and misguided vendetta about which few should care.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] ARGENTINA/ECON/GV - Argentine Senate Delays Central Bank Vote to March 17 - CALENDAR

March 11 (Bloomberg) -- Argentina's senate delayed until next week a vote
on the nomination of Mercedes Marco del Pont as central bank president
after the opposition failed to show up for the debate, said ruling
coalition Senator Jose Pampuro.
Pampuro, who was acting as president of the upper house, today suspended a
session to discuss the appointment when the opposition decided not to
provide a quorum. The chamber will debate the nomination March 17, Pampuro
An opposition-controlled senate committee last week voted against
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's naming of Marco del Pont, who
has run the bank since Feb. 4, after she transferred $6.6 billion of
reserves to the government for debt payments. The designation must be
ratified by a full session of the senate, according to the institution's
"Evidently the opposition didn't have the number to reject her
nomination," Pampuro told reporters after lifting the session. "Next week
we'll get more votes" to approve her.
The yield on Argentina's 7 percent dollar bonds due in 2015 rose 9 basis
points, or 0.09 percentage point, to 12.99 percent at 11:07 a.m. New York
time, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. The bond's price fell 0.25 cent to
80 cents on the dollar. The peso, which has fallen 1.5 percent this year,
was little changed at 3.8581 per dollar.
Marco del Pont angered opposition leaders March 1 when she obeyed
Fernandez's order to transfer funds to the Treasury without giving
lawmakers time to object, and without taking account of a federal court
order that blocked a previous government attempt to earmark reserves.
`Lacks Independence'
"She showed that she totally lacks independence from the government,"
opposition Senator Sonia Escudero, 56, said yesterday in a telephone
interview, after Marco del Pont defended her actions before a
congressional committee.
Senators Roxana Latorre and Maria Jose Bongiorno, on whom the opposition
had counted to vote against Marco del Pont, decided to support her
Latorre, who isn't part of the ruling coalition, told Todo Noticias
television channel today that "what's happening with Marco del Pont is a
terrible injustice."
Marco del Pont, 50, yesterday told the committee that she was obeying
presidential decrees when she moved the funds.
"I'm confident that the central bank has acted with the most absolute
legality," Marco del Pont said. "We did everything in accordance with all
steps and procedure."
Yale-Trained Economist
The Yale University-trained economist replaced Martin Redrado, who was
fired by Fernandez on Jan. 7 for opposing her plans to pay debt with
"We did what we had to do," Marco del Pont told the lawmakers. "If we
hadn't, we could have met the same fate as the previous central bank
The use of reserves would be cheaper than tapping credit markets to borrow
new funds, Fernandez, 57, said in a speech to union leaders March 9.
Leaders of the opposition have said they will reject one of Fernandez's
two March 1 decrees, which orders the payment of $4.4 billion of reserves
to bondholders. They haven't objected to the other, which assigns $2.2
billion of bank funds to pay multilateral lenders.
The ruling coalition lost its majority at Congress in mid- term elections
in last June.
The deteriorating political climate between Fernandez and the opposition
could delay the government's efforts to restructure $20 billion in
defaulted debt, Eurasia Group analyst Daniel Kerner wrote in a March 9
Congress Bill
Lawmakers from the ruling coalition, including leader of its lower house
bloc Agustin Rossi, said that they are prepared to discuss a bill
authorizing the government to tap central bank funds that would replace
the decree.
Opposition Senator Adolfo Rodriguez Saa said on C5N television channel
March 9 that while the majority of lawmakers objected to Fernandez's use
of decrees to impose her policies, they weren't necessarily against the
use of reserves to pay debt.

Senior al Qaeda leader in Syria sanctioned by US Treasury
A senior al Qaeda leader based in Syria who recruits and facilitates the entry of foreign fighters into Iraq has been sanctioned by the US Treasury Department.
Sa'ad Uwayyid 'Ubayd Mu'jil al Shammari, an Iraqi member of al Qaeda who operates from inside Syria, has been designated as a terrorist under Executive Order 13224. The designation allows the US to freeze his assets, prevent him from using financial institutions, and prosecute him for terrorist activities.
"We will continue to aggressively implement the international obligation to target al Qaeda-linked terrorists, like Abu Khalaf, who threaten the safety of Coalition Forces and the stability of Iraq," said Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence said in a Treasury press release issued today.
Shammari, who is better known as Abu Khalaf, is known to recruit suicide bombers from North Africa and aids in setting up their travel arrangements into Syria and ultimately Iraq. "The facilitator recruited a few suicide bombers, who attempted to travel to Iraq," the Treasury press release stated.
Khalaf also helps al Qaeda suicide bombers based in the Persian Gulf region travel to the Levant to conduct suicide attacks. The Levant consists of the countries that border the Mediterranean Sea and includes Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Egypt. He is believed to operate in Tal Hamis in Syria and Tal Wardan and the 'Awinat village in the Rabiah district in Iraq.
US targets Syrian al Qaeda network
Syria has long supported or looked the other way as al Qaeda and Sunni insurgents used the country as a transit point and safe haven for fighters entering western Iraq. More than 90 percent of the suicide bombers who have entered Iraq since the insurgency began in 2003 have entered Iraq via Syria.
Al Qaeda's Syrian network is thought to have suffered a setback as the US implemented a counterinsurgency program in 2007 and a covert operation in Syria 2008 targeted and killed a senior member of al Qaeda facilitation network. An estimated 120 plus foreign fighters a month are thought to have entered Iraq from Syria at its peak in 2007. The number is now estimated in the single digits, but there is concern that the Syrian network is being rejuvenated, according to a report in The Washington Post.
The US sent a strong message to Syria in October 2008 when it launched the first recorded cross-border strike inside the country since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Nine terrorists were reported killed after US commandos dropped from helicopters conducted a raid in eastern Syria. The target was Abu Ghadiya, a senior al Qaeda leader who had been in charge of the Syrian facilitation network since 2005. Ghadiya and his staff were killed in the attack.
READER COMMENTS: "Senior al Qaeda leader in Syria sanctioned by US Treasury"
Posted by Buff52 at May 14, 2009 7:40 PM ET:
When Turkey would not allow the U.S. Army 3rd Armored Division to cross Turkey into Northern Iraq in March, 2003, we should have landed in Beirut instead and driven 300 M1 Abrams tanks the short distance to Damascus, Syria. A Syrian occupation along with the taking of Iraq would have put an end to this sort of thing. Imagine a true democracy in Syria and Lebanon like the one that presently exists in Iraq.
The terrorist bases in Damascus, Syria and Lebanon's Bekaa Valley should be shut down.

PANAJI: The fiasco over the medium of instruction (MoI) for primary education was the only hurdle standing in Goa's way in notifying the state rules for the Right of Child to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009. With the matter resolved for now, Goa is set to get its RTE rules by June 30.
Chief minister Manohar Parrikar, who is also the education minister, has already handpicked members for the state advisory council, the body under the RTE that ensures effective implementation of the act's provisions. Parrikar has asked state officials to expedite the process of finalizing the draft RTE rules and has set June 30 as the deadline for its notification, an official source said. The state advisory council will assume powers on notification of the rules.
Parrikar has asked the council to draw its recommendations, once the RTE is gazetted, to improve the quality of education in Goa's primary education sector. The council will then submit its recommendations for the consideration of the state government, the source said. Parrikar as the education minister will serve as chairperson of the council, as per the draft RTE rules.
Educationist M S Kamat and representatives from NGOs like Sangath with practical and specialized knowledge in the field of primary education have been chosen to be a part of the 14-member council, sources said.
Goa had come under fire from Union human resource development minister Kapil Sibal in March this year for being the only state other than Karnataka to have not notified its RTE rules, even as the central government's deadline for states and union territories to implement RTE's provisions ends in April 2013.
Among other things, notification of Goa's RTE rules will give the state greater control over private schools, which will have to take a certificate of recognition from the directorate of education (DoE) and will have to accept all conditions laid down by the state to continue being operational. Refusal to do so will qualify them for derecognition. With Goa's RTE rules set to come into force soon, the state is also deliberating on the issue of full-day schooling, as the Centre's RTE Act calls for seven-and-half hours of schooling from Classes I to VIII. Goa's schools presently function only from 8am to 1.15pm.
The chief minister is toying with the idea of extending school hours in Goa in case of institutions that have the necessary infrastructure for recreational and other activities required in case of longer school hours.
Upon the recommendation of education officials in the state, he is, however, looking for a uniform pattern rather than selective implementation of longer school hours. The discussions have taken place only at a very informal level for now, sources said.

One person injured in the unrest that took place in Rathupaswala, Weliweriya earlier this evening has succumbed to his injuries. At least 10 others were hospitalized following clashes between protesters and members of the security forces and police.
Earlier reports said police had fired tear gas and water cannon at protesters in an attempt to force them off the new Colombo-Kandy road, which they had been blocking, causing traffic disruptions.
Meanwhile, the factory at the centre of the protest has been temporarily closed down. The decision was taken following discussions held between representatives from the area and Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa this evening.
Accordingly, the factory, which area residents accuse of being responsible for ground water pollution in the area due to irresponsible disposal of waste water, will remain closed for two weeks until investigations are completed to determine the truth of the allegations.

A Room for London: Living Architecture's Wind Energy-Generating Boat Sits Atop a UK Roof
Posted By Tafline Laylin On January 25, 2012 @ 8:45 am In Architecture,Daylighting,Recycled Materials,Renewable Energy,Wind Power | No Comments
This one bedroom installation has been designed to last. Modeled after the famed Roi des Belges [7] boat that carried Joseph Conrad through the heart of colonial Congo's darkness, A Room for London features gorgeous timber finishings, handworked metals, porthole windows that issue plenty of natural light [8] and afford extraordinary views of the city, as well as a dazzling variety of nautically-themed curios – a sterling example of creative reuse.
Not only is this a place for a few really lucky people to spend a night, but the project will be used throughout the year as a venue for writing, performance, and music gatherings. More than just a bizarre boat, this project encourages people to re-think the environment in which it is placed, which is not hard given that the nearest water, the River Thames [9], lies a few storeys below! Other Living Architecture [5] projects feature work by such notable designers as MVRDV, NORD, and Peter Zumthor [10].

Cough Medicine
We appreciate the article run in the Casa Grande Dispatch on September 15, 2010 about cough medicine abuse and the call for placement of these medicines behind the pharmacy counter. According to the article, cough medicines with detromethorphan (DXM) were purchased by more than 40 million households last year. Some of this was for legitimate use; some was purchased by teens and young adults specifically to get high.
My staff and I went to the 'meet your teacher' night at CGUHS this year and initiated dialogue with more than 60 parents and 70 students, discussing with them the current drug trends. About 75% of the students with whom we spoke reported that cough medicine abuse is common among high school age youth. Conversely, only about 10% of the parents knew of this new drug threat.
According to the 2008 bi-annual Arizona Youth Survey, one out of ten teens in our community abuses over-the-counter medicines, most of which are cold and cough remedies. This survey is taken by 8th, 10th and 12th graders. This rate is higher than the state average. Central Arizona College resident students also report that abuse of cough medicine is common at drinking parties. It is such a pop culture phenomenon that even rappers sing about it!
The most common way for underage youth to consume cough medicine is either straight from the bottle, or to mix it with Sprite or another soda, producing what the kids call 'lean'. There are reports that youth can drink 'lean' at home, in the classroom, or community, in front of adults, confident that they are concealing their drug abuse by disguising it as just soda. When someone is high on DXM, their symptoms mimic drunkenness including staggering, increased heart rate, slurred speech, and confused thinking. Parents could easily pass off these behaviors as underage drinking, but mixing alcohol with DXM is quite dangerous.
Some teens, and adults, think that because these medicines are legal and easily available they must be safer than street drugs. Nothing could be father from the truth. Overdose and addiction do not only occur with street drugs – a sad fact proved by celebrity deaths such as pop star Michael Jackson's caused by prescription medicines.
Adults must continue to monitor what youth are doing, who they are hanging out with, and where they go. PLEASE check your child's room and backpack and car for empty cough medicine bottles. Educate yourself more on cough medicine abuse by going to www.stopmedicineabuse.org or www.casagrandealliance.org and have a heart-to-heart talk with your child about staying safe. Cough medicine abuse is real, is here, and is dangerous.

Back to School
Going back to school signifies a time of new beginnings – new friends, more difficult classes and exciting experiences. It can also be a challenging time, with added peer pressure when it comes to teen drug and alcohol use.
Young people in grades 6-9 are especially at risk for first-time drug and alcohol use. Local research has shown that most youth start drinking beverage alcohol around age 12, which is grade 6 or 7. Middle school is a challenging time of change for children, both physically and socially.
In the middle-school years, young brains are growing at a fast rate. Children are easily distracted, easily bored and over-stimulated at this time because of what is going on with their brain growth. This excitement can lead to impulsiveness in both good and bad ways.
Middle schoolers find life interesting and often want to join clubs, social activities, sports, and engage in artistic endeavors…all at the same time! Without sufficient adult involvement and guidance, these energies and sense of boredom can become redirected into negative activities such as using alcohol and other drugs.
Research tells us that kids who start using alcohol prior to the age of 15 are five times more likely to become alcoholic!
High School Freshmen are also considered high-risk for drug use. The transition into high school is a challenging one, and some youth turn to drug and alcohol use to relieve their stress or to 'fit in' with their peers.
What you can do: talk with your kids frequently about the stresses in their lives and how they are managing those stressors. Help your child find healthy and appropriate ways to deal with stress and boredom. Make clear family rules about underage alcohol use, and drug use for all family members, and enforce them vigorously. Monitor where your children spend their time, and with whom. Hanging out with older siblings and older kids is especially risky for middle school students.
Last, learn to communicate with your child the way your child prefers. Some kids talk best when they are riding in the car (gotta take those earphones out, first!). This generation depends upon electronics and the world wide web to get their information. Text them with a message of encouragement or reminder to make good choices. Send them an email to tell them how special they are to your family. Send them a link to a drug information site, like www.casagrandealliance.org. Find creative ways to keep in their loop!

Freedom Fighters
We are living a war zone. An army of armed assailants has invaded the land west of Stanfield, Arizona and is willing to shoot anyone who dares to offer resistance to the ground they have claimed as their own. They will kill or capture competitors, and even those among their own ranks, to remain in power. They are threatening or attempting to murder our own peace keepers in order to assure their free movement into and across our county. Their motivation: preservation of a trade route for their products. Their products: marijuana, other drugs, and human beings.
This is truly the drug war. Not the war on drugs – whatever that is – but the drug war. Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu has made it clear that the drug cartels are in control of the region south of Interstate 8 on the border of Pinal and Maricopa Counties. He is requiring his Deputies to patrol the area in pairs rather than alone. The Bureau of Land Management has posted signs warning hikers and other visitors to stay out; that the area is dangerous because of these armed smugglers.
I hate this situation. To think that my safety is at absolute risk if I happen to have a flat tire on that stretch of road, right here in my own county, is completely unacceptable. But I am NOT powerless to change what is going on!
Donovan Kramer, Jr., Casa Grande Valley Newspapers Editor, was on the mark in his editorial this week when he said, "This problem, of course, is closely related to a
demand for drugs in the United States
, and the
importance of prevention efforts cannot be underestimated.
The answer to the drug war includes three strategies: preventing addiction and drug use in the first place, reducing demand for drugs among those who use them, and law enforcement to eliminate the dangers associated with the traffickers.
I cannot (or will not) arm myself and go out in the desert and fight back against this army of smugglers. I am neither trained nor prepared to do that. As a culture, we have hired and trained law enforcement officers for that task. I fear for their safety from the shear number of traffickers present and their ferocity.
What I CAN do is fight back my own way – by relentlessly working to prevent drug use and promoting recovery from addiction. If the drug war going on right here, right now in our own backyard makes you as mad and uncomfortable as it does me, come and help us!
Actively fight this drug war in your own home, church and community by becoming a Prevention Freedom Fighter. We can give you "training" about drug prevention, "arm" you with the information and skills you need, and send you back into the community as a prevention "commando" ready to fight back and save lives.

About 4/20
Every culture has its own vocabulary or secret language, and the drug using subculture is no exception. Those of us on the 'outside' of the drug subculture need to know about an important date coming up next week: April 20.
In the drug culture, the number 4:20 has a special meaning. It means "let's go get high" and similar sentiments. It began way back in the 1970's because kids got out of school at 4:20 and they would gather and smoke pot after school. Over time, it became more generic and now represents a general support for drug using, as well as a way to communicate one's interest or availability for getting high.
Parents would be wise to monitor their child's communications where this symbol might appear: text messages, written on backpacks or books or shoes, written or tattooed onto the body, listed on their webpage or facebook page, written on posters or pictures in their room, etc. Know where your student is spending their before and after-school time on April 20th. That day has become a BIG party day for those who choose to use marijuana, and your child might be invited to one of these events.
One last note: even the most fervent supporters of marijuana legalization agree that marijuana use by children is unhealthy and unwise for the developing teenage brain. If you would like additional information on the impact of drug and alcohol use on children's brains, please contact us or go to our website www.casagrandealliance.org.

I purchased the GOGO Metal counter for two of my grand children (ages 6 & 10). They counted cars, animals, trucks etc. during their 3,400 mile auto trip this summer. They almost loved it almost as much as their parents did. It made the trip more enjoyable for all!!! A great buy.

I swim and have fund the water counters unreliable, and constantly breaking. I put this in a ziploc bag, keep it at the side of the pool and am able to track my laps easily. Never a problem.

I use it when i'm climbing the stairs for exercise so I can keep track of how many flights I've climbed. Fits nicely into my hand with a ring on the top to fit a finger thru to hold onto better. Good quality and the price was very reasonable.

Perfect for taking attendance in low light situations, or counting objects when being interrupted. Sturdy construction and silent operation. Great for church ushers, etc

I won a raffle and my prize was a houseplant. It wasn't really anything special--but since I love plants--I was excited...I put it on my front porch and it has turned in to a BEAUTY. One I have never seen before---neither has anyone in my 'circle'...
It seems to be a short/slow growing vine. It has heart shaped leaves that are shiny,thick and grass green.. The blooms are cocoa (very dark maroon) in color, approx. 1" long tubular shaped with a tiny ruffling at the opening... The blooms seem to form at the end of each stem..Some w/ only 3 blooms and as many as 7.... Thank you for any/all suggestions... QB |

- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Carter K's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Hey beagle fans, I'm Carter K, a 6 year old tricolor beagle boy!! ! My family lost their home and now I am looking for a new one too! I love to go to the dog park and play fetch! I mostly bring the ball back too! At my foster dad's, I like to carry a towel around like a blankie so I can lay on it near you. I do bark a little bit in the backyard but I am only protecting my home! I do like some of the kids at the dog park, so I might be ok with older kids over 10. I really want a forever home where I can nap by you and feel safe and secure. Please ask to meet me, I am the best dog ever!
Other Pets at Arizona Beagle Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Carter K, a Phoenix Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

[1979] Optimizing Lung Carcinoma Diagnosis: FNA, Core, or Both
Shana M Coley, John P Crapanzano, Anjali Saqi. Columbia University Medical Center, New York
Background: A greater number of minimally-invasive procedures are being performed to diagnose lung cancer. Institutions perform CT-guided fine needle aspirate (FNA), core biopsy (CB), or both (B). Due to the advanced stage of disease at the time of sampling, these procedures may often provide the only diagnosis to guide prognosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to determine which modality (FNA, CB, or B) provides sufficient tissue to render a specific diagnosis and pursue ancillary studies to guide tumor-specific treatment.
Design: A retrospective search was performed for CT-guided lung FNA, CB, or B with on-site assessment by a cytopathologist. All cases positive for carcinoma were grouped by modality and according to whether or not the diagnosis was 'specific', defined as refined enough to subtype a primary carcinoma or to determine the site of origin of a secondary carcinoma, achieved by performing immunostains when necessary. In cases of poorly differentiated carcinomas, where immunostains were extensively performed but a specific diagnosis was not achievable due to the nature of the tumor rather than the limitations of the sample, the diagnosis was considered specific. Cases of primary lung adenocarcinoma were further assessed according to which modality provided sufficient tissue to pursue molecular studies (MS).
Results: Of 125 cases retrieved, 76 were positive for neoplasm. Of the neoplastic diagnoses, 68 were carcinomas.
FNA, n=40 | CB, n=16 | B, n=12 | |
Specific | 35 (88%) | 15 (94%) | 10 (83%) |
Non-Specific | 5 (12%) | 1 (6%) | 2 (17%) |
FNA, n=19 | CB, n=7 | B, n=8 | |
Sufficient | 14 (74%) | 7 (100%) | 5 (62%) |
Insufficient | 1 (5%) | 0 (0%) | 2 (25%) |

Hi everyone. New to the forum although I have been reading awhile. Just thought I would go ahead and add my new purchases. I got 3 windmills, 2 sabal minors, and a sabal Birmingham form chilly palms. Caught him on his east coast run. Great guy, great prices, great knowledge. Hope I do these palms justice.... First pic is of the Birmingham |

Thanks. The windmills and the sabal Birmingham are 7 gallons. The sabal minors are 3 gallons |

Hey, I do believe i was Sean's stop right after yours. I was very happy with my trachys. I'm sure you saw them on the truck. Good luck with your palms |
Yeah I believe so. Yours were a bit bigger than mine I believe. Looked real good. Best of luck to you as well. I'm quite nervous of overwatering/underwatering. But what can you do. It is funny though after reading through a lot of these posts I do get the attachment ppl feel for these beauties |
- Posted by steve_nj 7-a (email@example.com) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 22:48
No I do not have any needle palms. Just the 3 windmills, 2 minors n the Birmingham. All of them should have a good deal of sun all day. The 2 minors will probably have the least amount of sun out of them all which will be about 2 hours less as they will be hit with the shadows first but I think they should all be ok. They have been in the ground for about a week so far. No browning, spear pulls all checked out but we shall see. Still very early |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7b (My Page) on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 17:07
Great looking palms! They all look really healthy and ready to grow fast. Keep us updated! I've always wanted to try a Sabal Birmingham. Thanks for sharing! -Alex |

my bham is doing well..it was from a private sale in a 3 gallon..the new spear is strange..it is almost pushed all the way out the 2 middle fronds are brown..the outside 2 and floppy and the rest are thin..but the whole plant seems thin to me next to my cape hatt. IDK we will see what they do with some heat. nice pick ups there |
This post was edited by miketropic on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 18:36
Ok we'll I guess I have my first problem. Got a lot of rain the last two days and the newish spear on the windmill came out looking like that. Again, these are my first real in the ground palms so is this normal, or something I need to take action on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The 5 others I have show no problems and look great |
Just cold damage. It looks like the rest of the frond is green and growing. It should be fine. This one frond will likely colapse under itsownweight and you'll want to cut it off, unless the stem is green and feeding the plant. oYou may find the next one, two or even three fronds have lessening degrees of damage that appears as an off-colored arc across the fan. |
Thank you for the info and quick reply |
So I have added 2 tropicanna blacks and 2 small mondo grass plantings to my set up with the 2 windmills and the bham. Now I just want to try and figure out the landscape aspect. Don't wanna use block like my other planters. Wanna keep it more natural looking. Anyone have ideas or photos to share? |

@Iluviaporos - It won't be that bad, as the bees are pretty good at knowing how to protect themselves. They wouldn't carry dangerous materials into the hive and the country wouldn't let people sell it as a supplement if it could be that dangerous.
It still doesn't appeal all that much to me though.
Propolis has other benefits for bees. It's been shown in studies that they don't use it to block air. They use it to block out disease. And that means that if an animal, like say, a mouse, dies in the bottom of the hive and they can't move it, they will cover it in propolis to try and isolate it from the workers.
Makes you look at it in a different way, considering it's all gathered from the hive.
