Honors and Awards
Featured: Alumni Award and Dean's Award recipients
One important measure of a school's greatness is in the accomplishments of its faculty and alumni. And awards are an important way of calling out those accomplishments.
Every year since 1983, the School of Medicine Alumni Association recognizes select alumni who have distinguished themselves in their professions. At the same time, the School of Medicine dean honors an individual who has provided exceptional service to the school.
This year's slate of Alumni Award and Dean's Award recipients demonstrates that the OHSU School of Medicine community, indeed, is doing great things. You could say they're changing the landscape of health. Read more»

Does anyone know what kind of tree this is? I want to know the species, and if it is evergreen or if the leaves drop in fall. |
Follow-Up Postings:
How tall are these trees? I was imagining them about 20 feet. Wouldn't that preclude Myrtle? |
Indeed it would! I'm imagining half that height. Someone standing next to them for scale certainly would have helped. |

Best Gratuitous Use of a Political Scandal in a French Restaurant Denver 2004 - Le Central
Remember all that Freedom Toast crap last year? All that screeching on AM radio about how patriotic Americans ought to pitch out their French cheese, pour their French wine into the gutter and abstain from all French kissing until the Frogs stopped thinking for themselves and, like Tony Blair, just blindly agreed with everything our president said? Yeah, that was some freaky, flag-waving shit that went down -- and leave it to Robert Tournier, owner of Le Central, to turn it all to his advantage. At the height of the mock crisis, Tournier decided to hold an essay contest, with prizes (most of them involving free dinners at Le Central) for the entries that best expressed a love of all things French, and more prizes (mostly consisting of French wine and chocolate and free dinners at Le Central) for those that best typified an American's loathing for the French. Well, big surprise: Tournier's business increased by more than 10 percent during the controversy.

text: JoJo Busts Loose on New Mixtape, 'Agápē' Bradley Stern December 24, 2012 Album Review, JoJo 4 Comments 482 In the immortal words of Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera: Never can, never will, can't hold us down. Not one to be muzzled by her all-but-defunct, ultra shady record label Blackground Records and their contractual death grip on her career, ever-talented singer-songwriter (and birthday girl) JoJo's decided to exorcise some of her demons this December…for free. Like her incredible Can't Take That Away From Me in 2010, her newest mixtape Agápē provides a taste of the direction she's heading in musically, mentally and spiritually at the moment. Crafted along with a team of producers and writers, including Austin Brown, Boi-1da, Scott Bruzenak and Elijah Blake, the collection wavers in between angst and frustration–largely all to do with her label–and a 'fuck 'em all' air of emancipation, all layered on top of slinky '90's R&B beats and hypnotic, hazy ambient sounds. Highlights include the confessional opener, "Back2thebeginningagain" ("It took me 22 years to trust myself/Too many people told me to be somebody else"), and the instantly classic-sounding, The Backpackkids-produced early '90's R&B throwback, "I Get By." There's also the (amusingly retitled) "White Girl in Paris," an acoustic cover of Joni Mitchell's "Free Man in Paris" which showcases not only her voice, but the diversity of her musical influences. The spacey "Take The Canyon" sees JoJo lighting up and letting go of her cares, RiRi style ("Everything is better with a blunt in your mouth," she monotones), all but providing a contact high from filling the speakers alone, while the too-short 1-minute piano-led ballad "Thinking Out Loud" sees Jo getting heavy on her love life ("I've been looking for love in all the wrong places, and telling myself I'm grown.") But the most thrilling cut of the entire collection is the Mr. Frank-produced "Andre," a stupid good ode to a "super-sexy" man (inspired by, but not directly an ode to, Andre 3000) that flaunts Jo's penchant for crafting unbelievably fresh, melodic hooks ("Ah-ah-ah-andre!") on top of twinkling electronica and tripping drum loops: "I'm a sucker for a guy with a beautiful mind," she cries out. The result, as with her last mixtape, is evidence of an artist with way too much raw talent, intelligence and drive to be held down by the tiny print on a piece of paper. Jo's gift has found a way out to the public over the years–from leaks, to live showcases, to free mixtapes like this one–because, in the end, true talent always finds a way to shine.

Upcoming Events
Festiciel of St-Fulgence
September 4th to 6th 2010
The annual gathering of gliders in St-Fulgence, will transform into a family festival in 2010. Something new is planned!
The idea of Festiciel St-Fulgence came up following an annual meeting of provincial paragliding pilots who are over 20 years old in St-Fulgence. This was held over the September Labor Day weekend. The Zone Turbulence Saguenay Paragliding Club in collaboration with the municipality of St-Fulgence and Concept Air wishes to create a family festival that will color the sky of St-Fulgence with paragliding, kite traction and kite surfing actvities. Among the various other activities will be an introduction to tandem kite flying, entertainment for young people, a mascot, tasting of regional products, an artisan village, and you may visit the free flight interpretive center.... all projects that we hope to offer for the first edition of the Festiciel of St-Fulgence being held on September 4th, 5th and 6th, 2010 and for years to come to create an awesome annual village celebration and attract an increasing number of drivers.
Freestyle Attraction is now the largest gathering of winter traction kiting enthusiasts in Canada and one of the biggest events of its kind in North America.
This kite skiing event presents a dazzling show full of colour. The first "Freestyle Attraction" came to life in 1991 through the initiative of Concept Air Kites. In 2010, the "Freestyle Attractionâ will host the 30th WISSA (World Ice and Snow Sailing Association) World Sailing Championships on Ice and is busy planning festivities and competitions which will take place over a period of 10 days.
The event takes place at La Baie des Ha Ha! on the Saguenay River. The geomorphology of the Saguenay Fjord in Quebec, Canada is a unique place in North America for kite skiing in winter. The sliding surface is exceptional and the wind, intensified by the fjord, is virtually always blowing. It is not surprising that the City of Saguenay is home to the largest club of wind sports activities in Canada!
The events takes place at St-GĂŠdĂŠon on the ''Lac St-Jean'' lake
Buggy Buzz
June17th to 20th 2010
During the St-HonorĂŠ festivities, you will witness the most momentous gathering of kite buggiers in Canada on asphalt runways.

Holistic Remedies for Common Childhood Ailments
If you've been trying to help your family lead a more natural lifestyle, Treatment Alternatives for Children by Dr. Lawrence Rosen and Jeff Cohen is a worthwhile home reference.
This book is full of holistic remedies for childhood ailments ranging from cradle cap and teething to acne and bad breath.
Treatment Alternatives for Children is organized to be an accessible reference for busy moms. There's an alphabetical list of ailments covered in the front.
Each featured condition has a chart that outlines the dosage and common side effects of the treatments that are being recommended.
I really like that the book provides specific brand name examples of the conventional and natural treatments that are suggested. Having a particular product to look for makes it much easier to buy what you need, especially if you end up having to order products online.
Treatment Alternatives for Children covers some of the scientific research behind the natural remedies that are recommended, but the overall tone of the book is still friendly and engaging. The facts are simply there to help you make a more informed decision about the best way to treat your child's ailment.
Although the book is focused on providing natural remedies that are safe for kids, many of the suggested treatments would be beneficial for Mom and Dad as well.
For example, I've had great success using the recommended treatments featured in the "Tummy Troubles" section for my heartburn and acid reflux.

The Real Thing
By Dustin Fitzharris
One person you love is President Obama. Before he was elected you said, 'He would be great for our nation.' How do you think he's doing?
I think it's a tough job, and he's done an excellent job thus far. Just watch his Notre Dame speech. He came out and confronted the issue [abortion] immediately. He basically said you can have your own beliefs, but people need to be tolerant of other people's ideas. He's always searching to create dialogue between people, and that is the most intelligent thing to do because with an education that's how you grow, learn and change. He's just been a maverick by listening to others, and he's done it brilliantly.
You have a huge gay following and rightfully so for all the work you do for the LGBT community. What inspired your work in the community initially? Was there ever a moment that made you realize you wanted to be an ally?
There was never a moment. The gay community was always a part of my life. I had gay friends since high school, and then I majored in musical theater in college. I had four people who were at my first wedding in 1987 who have since died of AIDS. So, I've been affected by gay issues. I also grew up in New York and my mother and father had gay friends. There was never a switch where I said, 'I'm going to speak out for gay rights.' It's always been natural, organic.
During your reign as Miss America in 1984 you were involved in one of the most infamous beauty pageant scandals ever and gave up your crown after suggestive photos of you were published. Recently another pageant contestant, Miss California Carrie Prejean, came under fire after she spoke out against the right for same-sex marriage. Do you think it's fair the way the media handled her response?
I'm surprised at how much this story has gone on and on. My personal opinion is really, 'Who cares?' She's not running for a government position that could make an actual change in policy, so who cares? Let it die.
Do you think they should have stripped her of her title?
Who cares! Really, who cares in the grand scheme of things?
Ugly Betty has just been renewed for a fourth season. Are you still enjoying playing Wilhelmina?
I absolutely love her. We just got moved next season to Friday nights at 9:00, so I hope all the fans follow us. I hope that (time change) is not an indication of anything. I love our cast, our writers and our creator. It's a ball to work on, and it just gets more and more delicious every season.
Can you reveal anything that's going to happen in the next season?
We are going to be doing a musical episode where everyone is going to sing. I also sang in the season finale this year with Christine Baranski. Every season they give me more and more things to do. I'm playing tennis with Billie Jean King. I'm speaking French. It just seems like Wilhelmina is an expert at everything. The challenge is always looking like everything is effortless.
Is there a song that you've recorded that you think would be perfect for Wilhelmina?
'Come on Strong.' It's an insistent song from the new album. Lena Horne originally did it, and if Wilhelmina was going to sing a song, this is the song she needs to sing.

text: There are so many different causes of bradycardia. It can even be caused by a low thyroid function which is what my roommate has. She has hypothyroidism. Apparently, thyroid hormones control many different things in the body such as metabolism, breathing rate and heart rate. So very low levels of thyroid hormones can cause a slow heart rate. My roommate is fine when she takes her thyroid medications. But when she doesn't, she becomes very tired and cannot do anything.

When ready to file your tax returns online, it's important to do your research and find just which online tax software best fits your needs. While Turbo Tax and H&R Block are the most well know providers, there are dozens of others that offer to file your federal tax returns for free, and if you have a complicated tax situation, you might even find a cheaper rate with another tax software. TaxSlayer offers customers a free federal file and their most expensive federal software package, no matter what you need, is only $19.95. You won't find a better price anywhere, so I decided to give them a test drive.
TaxSlayer Sign Up Process
Signing up for TaxSlayer is simple. The usual information is required, like name, address and password, in addition to my social security number. Along the way, I am provided helpful videos if I need them and they auto-fill the city and state, after you put the zip code in, so we're already off to a great start! After completing your sign-up, you will be sent an email with your account details. Be sure to verify your email address by clicking the link contained within and once you're finished, it's time to begin your free federal tax return.
Filing Your Free Federal Return with TaxSlayer
While filing your free federal return with TaxSlayer, you are always asked if you would like a tutorial on the current section, or if you can navigate the page yourself. To start, the personal information you used to create your account must be confirmed again, along with a handful of common tax questions. Next, your filing status is chosen and once complete, you're off to the income portion of the return.
When choosing to file your tax returns for free, there's a good chance you have only a W-2 to enter. However if you have 1099's or other tax statements, not to worry, the free edition of TaxSlayer can handle that too. I've entered a few 1099's, no W-2's and I've finished the income portion of the process in under 60 seconds. The second I finalized my income numbers, the amount of my refund updated in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Needless to say, when entering 1099MISC forms, it's not pretty.
Next up are my deductions. Once again, TaxSlayer allows me to peruse this section on my own, or use their wizard to guide me through the process. Again, with my simplistic tax situation and limited deductions, I think I'll take care of this on my own.
I've always been a standard deduction kind of guy but in addition to claiming that, I also spend a ton on student loan interest each year. Breezing through this section that rarely applies to the stay-at-home guy I am, I move on to the next section of filing my federal tax return online with TaxSlayer, which shows other forms I may need when e-filing.
My self employment tax is located in this section, as well as forms needed because I paid estimated taxes. This is the section where you'll find additional information, as well as forms for things such as underpayment penalties, filing a tax extension, etc. For many, you can skip right through this and believe it or not, once you're finished, it's time to review, print and e-file!
Tax Slayer shows you your tax return, checks for errors and allows you to print your return by downloading a .pdf file. If you're satisfied with all of the numbers and TaxSlayer has found no errors, it's time to send your federal returns to the IRS. You'll receive an email showing that the process has been completed and within 48 hours, you will learn if the government has accepted your return. Choosing direct deposit as your refund method should allow you to receive your refund in as little as 8 days, so be on the lookout.
The process of filing your free federal return takes around 20 minutes altogether, but that number is dependent on your tax situation. Generally, if you have a complicated tax situation, you'll want to consider upgrading to something other than the free federal edition.
TaxSlayer Upgrade Options
- Classic Edition ($9.95) – A slight upgrade from the free package, the classic edition allows consumers to use a step by step deduction finder, pulls prior years returns and includes all major forms and schedules. Anyone who doesn't have the cookie-cutter tax situation should consider this upgrade.
- Premium Edition ($19.95) – Anyone in need of live phone support will be happy to know this option provides just that. Also included in this package is everything the classic edition provides AND prior year comparisons and audit support, should it be needed.
- Military Edition (FREE) – All active military members can file their federal and state tax returns with Tax Slayer for free. This includes all forms, step by step deduction help and the life events wizard.
*If you also need to file your state returns, you can do so for $14.90 when filing with the free edition. However if you decide to upgrade to either the Classic or Premium packages, the state return cost is only $4.95.
When filing my taxes with TaxSlayer, I never ran into a problem and the entire process was extremely fast and painless. The amount TaxSlayer stated I owed the government seemed right in line with what I expected so I'm confident they can handle anyone's taxes, without error. If you're looking to file your federal tax return online this year, consider doing it for free at TaxSlayer.com.

K481 Wireless Keyboard with Multi-Touch Pad
The packaging for the K481 is just large enough to house the keyboard and the padded envelope and not much more. It does display features like its 10 meter range, the 2.4GHz signal used, power saving mode and the hot keys.
The sides of the packaging offer the specs of this tiny wireless keyboard and have warnings on the right about the batteries shipped with the keyboard.
The back starts off with features on the left with another image of the keyboard on the right. At the bottom it has images of some of the features as they are found on the board, while on the right is a few of the multi-touch gestures used on the touch pad.
The K481 is now out of the box and at this moment I realized I also received the EU layout keyboard. There are some strange symbols for what I am used to but memory served well enough to traverse the board correctly. On the right are media keys above the multi-touch mouse pad that also have a right and left click button below it.
On the back of the board there are four rubber feet, but in reality since the keyboard will likely be on your lap most of the time you use it, the more important feature back here is the battery door that you insert a pair of AAA batteries into to get the K481 powered up.
There is a USB 2.0 receiver for the keyboard to send the 2.4GHz signal from the keyboard to the PC along with a pair of batteries included from ARCTIC.
Inside of the guide for the keyboard you get multi-lingual sections. Each section shows how to install the batteries and then you need to plug in the USB receiver and power on the keyboard. There is also a list of the seven gestures you will need to learn to make better use of the multi-touch pad.

U-verse Voice provides wireless telephone services as low as $9.99 per month, depending on the plan and a required 2-year contract.

Internet, phone and television bundles vary, depending on the packages, but all three bundled together start at $89 per month.
You will need to have access to fiber optic technology in your neighborhood in order to purchase U-verse services.

The beginning of the New Year appeals to many people because of the opportunity it offers for making new beginnings. Thus far, we are only about 4 days into 2013, so almost 99 percent of the year is still a blank slate, waiting for us to write upon it.
"Tabula rasa" is the Latin term for "blank slate" and it refers to the wax tablets that the ancient Romans used for writing. When these tablets would get filled, the Romans would heat the wax and scrape the tablet clean to create a smooth new writing surface. It's a lot like how the Zamboni machine creates a new surface for skating at ice rinks.
Philosophers have used the metaphor of the "tabula rasa" to argue that people are not born with preexisting mental content, but they acquire their ideas and beliefs through experience and learning. The 18th century French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau employed the idea of the "tabula rasa" to support his argument that aggression was not a natural human tendency, but had to be learned instead.
Although the official date for the beginning of the new year is really a rather arbitrary thing, it nevertheless, provides a temporal structure that people can use to help them initiate life changes. It also helps create a supportive sense of community, as many other people are simultaneously looking forward to making positive changes in the new year. Blogger Kraig Brockschmidt has suggested that it may be easier to initiate changes around New Year's Day because of the facilitating effect of the "morphic resonance" of countless other people enjoined in the same activity.
There is something innately very appealing about fresh starts. I am reminded how exciting it always was to get new supplies at the beginning of a school year. There is nothing like the promise of a brand new notebook brimming with pristine paper, full-length sharpened and unbitten pencils and a box of crayons with none of them worn down, broken or missing.
"Newness" can also be sensed in other ways such as that "new car" smell that attracts so many men. Formerly, the odor came from the expensive leather upholstery. These days the scent comes from the sealers and adhesives used in automobile manufacturing. Surprisingly, it retains its allure despite some safety concerns about its possible toxicity.
Novelist John Updike has said, "Americans have been conditioned to respect newness, whatever it costs them." Perhaps, because for generations, America has served as a place for personal renewal for so many immigrants, Americans historically have been attracted by the glamour of newness.
Political-economic factors also figure in the equation. Futurist Christopher Barnatt says, "Our civilization has become obsessed with newness and disposability." He believes that in the past, people scrimped and saved to buy things that lasted, while today we are constantly encouraged to "upgrade" our possessions.
People dispose of things before they are even paid for and few people display any sense of shame when throwing away a fully functional and still useful item. America's consumer-based capitalism depends on an ever-expanding market that is driven by new fashions, new technology and planned obsolescence. Having the "latest and the greatest" is not only the way to achieve higher status, it is also patriotic and just good business.
With all the rapid changes and developments in technology, however, it's becoming harder and harder to stay current. I've mentioned before that when it comes to new technology (computers, smart phones, etc.) my basic philosophy is to try to get something newer than my technological rival and son-in law, Jeff. Unfortunately, my "Better than Jeff" policy is no longer functional. I ceded the video game competition to him long ago and since things change so fast, I have no idea what devices Jeff even has currently.
As residents of the New World and late comers on the world stage, Americans have sometimes been criticized for failing to appreciate or respect many Old World traditions. When he was defending the new era of American industrialization, Henry Ford was widely quoted as saying, "History is bunk." The rest of the world seemed offended by this and our obsession with newness has led some to claim that Americans are guilty of what C. S. Lewis has called "chronological snobbery."
The quest for newness, however, may also have a paradoxical aspect to it when it comes to personal change. Catholic priest, monk and mystic Thomas Merton put a unique perspective on people's perpetual striving for regeneration, writing, "There is in us an instinct for newness, for renewal, for a liberation of creative power. We seek to awaken in ourselves a force which really changes our lives from within. And yet the same instinct tells us that this change is a recovery of that which is deepest, most original, most personal in ourselves."
So as people work on their resolutions this year, some may be surprised to discover the most dramatic and important change to make is simply to reach in and become themselves.

Avoiding environmental discrimination and dumping is also important. A lot of companies only avoid certain practices because of how it could affect them legally. This means that environmental economics necessarily has a legal aspect to it, including application in terms of what global regulations should be established in relation to industries interacting with the planet.

Sniper Elite V2
Version and / or Patch Used: Standalone Benchmark
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://www.rebellion.co.uk/
Product Homepage: http://sniperelitev2.com/us/age.html
Sniper Elite V2 features detailed sniping simulation with advanced ballistics, taking into account gravity, wind, velocity, bullet penetration, aim stability and more. Guaranteed to provide players with the most realistic simulation of military sharpshooting yet available.
Sniper Elite V2 sees some nice increases and the bump from 52 FPS to 57 FPS at 1680 x 1050 is appreciated. While we're still short of the 60 FPS number, it's always worth remembering that we have our in-game settings always maxed out.
With only 3 extra FPS needed to hit the 60 FPS mark, a small detail drop, that shouldn't affect the overall look of the game too much, will give us the extra FPS we need for a solid gameplay experience.

Mentoring: A Guide for Diverse SuppliersMentoring is one of the most sought out venues by Small Businesses, Minority, Veteran Owned and Women Business Enterprises. If your business needs mentoring, the best way to approach it is to have clear objectives and identify specific areas in which you want mentoring. If you seek mentoring from a large corporation, like Verizon, have a strategy that maintains mentoring as the focus. However, trying to attract business through mentoring creates confusion and ultimately a strenuous relationship. Successful mentoring is a direct result of focusing on the specific business areas in which your company requires assistance. Businesses normally need mentoring in one or more of the following areas: 1) business strategy, 2) e-commerce, 3) human resource planning, 4) financing, 5) legal, 6) marketing, 7) production, 8) product delivery, and 9) technology. It is important to peel back the onion and identify specific sub-categories. For example, you may need mentoring in marketing, but specifically in the development of an advertising strategy for the products and services you sell. Or it may be on how to leverage market intelligence to make a sale. In the area of business strategy, you may want to understand how to approach partnerships: Whether to follow a vertical or horizontal integration strategy, or whether a merger or acquisition strategy makes sense for your business. The more specific the better. Lack of clarity normally leads to confusion on the part of the "mentor" and frustration on the part of the "mentee." Most mentoring failures are a direct result of unclear goals, roles, responsibilities, and expectations. Before you seek mentoring, be sure to have a complete business plan in hand. (The Small Business Administration can assist you with this free of charge. They have lots of information on their Web site at http://www.sba.gov.) The business plan process will assist in identifying your strengths and weaknesses. Looking for a mentor without a business plan will create an undue burden on the mentor, as much of the time will be spent on trying to understand your business model. When you approach large business customers, it is important not to request mentoring while pursuing a business opportunity. This approach results in a mixed message to your customer. At a minimum, it will raise doubts about whether you can deliver on your business proposition. If you want mentoring, seek it in an area outside of the business relationship with your customer. This strategy will go a long way toward supplying the guidance you need while sustaining a positive business relationship. In considering a strategy, you also should spread your mentoring requirements across multiple business customers. This provides multiple inputs and proves less burdensome to one mentor. Keep in mind that a mentor can help you move toward where you want to go, or provide insight into other avenues. Mentors are not in a position to recommend what business direction to pursue, nor should they. It is important to set a time limit for the mentoring engagement (6 to 18 months). Time lines help ensure that both the mentor and the mentee are focused on achieving an objective. At the end of the mentoring process, you should not only have demonstrable results, but should have gained the knowledge to move ahead independently. The personal growth and independence is what will generate more business. |

[60] TPD52 Significance in a Large Series of Ewing's Sarcoma Family of Tumors (ESFT). Support: EuroBoNet (European Network of Excellence). Contract No. 018814.
Antonio Llombart-Bosch, Isidro Machado, Silvia Calabuig-Farinas, Jose Antonio Lopez-Guerrero, Marco Alberghini, Katia Scotlandi, Piero Picci, Jeniffer Byrne. Valencia University, Spain; IVO, Valencia, Spain; Institute Ortopedic Rizzoli (IOR), Bologna, Italy; Children´s Cancer Research, Sidney, Spain
Background: Tumor Protein D52 (TPD52) was identified in the 8q21 amplicon, and is involved in cellular transformation, proliferation and metastasis. The aim of the present study is to describe the implication of TPD52 in a large series of Ewing's sarcoma (ESFT).
Design: 324 genetically-confirmed ESFT were included in the study. Out of the 324 tumors analyzed, 272 (84%) corresponded to primary localized tumors, 22 (7%) to disseminated primary tumors, 9 (3%) to recurrences, and 21 (6%) to metastases. For the prognostic analysis, we analyzed a cohort of 217 patients with localized disease. TMA sections were immunostained with TPD52 antibody (Sidney, Australia, dilution 1:250). A correlation with the expression of additional IHC markers (pan-CK, ocludin, claudin, ZO-1, e-cadherin, desmoglein, snail, slug, AKT1,2, AKT1,2,3, GSK3β, p-GSK3β, PI3kin, and ezrin) studied previously in the same series was performed.
Results: ESFT revealed TPD52 expression in 35.5% of the tumors, this protein being more frequently expressed in atypical (21/49, 41%) compared with PNET (8/31, 24%) and conventional (41/117, 35%). Comparing TPD52 expression between localized (52/161, 31.7%) and disseminated (19/36, 52.8%) cases, we observed a significant direct association between TPD52 expression and disseminated tumors (p=0.015). The majority of cases with negative IHC results for desmoglein and ocludin failed to express TPD52 (p=0.031 and p=0.0001, respectively). Additionaly, the majority of ESFT with positive IHC result for slug, ZO-19 and ezrin revealed positive TPD52 (p=0.0001, and p=0.007 and p=0.032, respectively) In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, TPD52 immunoexpression does not represents prognostic factor for progression free survival/PFS (p=0,442) and disease specific survival/DSS (p=0,237) in ESFT.
Conclusions: TPD52 is frequently expressed in ESFT, being higher in disseminated cases than in localized tumors. The correlation of TPD52 expression with a number of epithelial markers, adhesion molecules and EMT markers in ESFT may be related with the expression of an epithelial phenotype. TPD52 IHC expression does not represent an independent prognostic factor for PFS and DSS in localized ESFT.

I think this room is FINALLY finished. The shower door guy came back on Friday to replace the shower door handle (the first one was HUGE).
Overall, I'm thrilled with how this room turned out. We splurged on a few things, but overall there's nothing I wouldn't do again. I would say that I could probably live without the heated floor, but in the grand scheme of things I think the total cost of that was about $300, so for that price I'm happy to have it. The room is only 8x8 and I can't think of anything else I needed in the room. In fact the shower (5' x 40") seems overly large. Here are a few of the details, although I've forgotten the particulars of several items. If anyone is really itching to know I can look it up. Floor: Light gray 24x6 porcelain tile (was originally 24x12 and our tile guy cut it down.
I wanted to say thank you to everyone on this forum. You were all a wonderful source information and inspiration during this process. I would have lost my mind and probably made several mistakes during this process without all of you. But enough of all that stuff ... onto the photos (which were very hard to get without a wide angle lens). These are more or less from left to right as you walk in the room. I love the teak shower floor. It flips right up to clean underneath it. It has a great feel under your feet. |

What a gorgeous bathroom! I'm jealous of your storage. You did a great job picking the finishes. I'm really into oval tiles right now. Can you tell me who makes yours? I've never seen a tile pattern like that with the cross pattern. Did you come up with that all on your own? Can I steal the idea? ;) |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 2:04
Wi, I forgot to ask about your mirror. Who makes it? |
Just lovely! The turquoise tile and teak floor are so beautiful together. I love every single thing about it. Great job! |
- Posted by debrak_2008 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 7:55
Really like all your tile. The oval tiles are unique. |

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone. I'd love it even if you all hated it, but it is nice to know that other people appreciate your work too. Breezygirl, I stole that idea of the one vertical stripe of accent tile from Houzz.com. This one: http://www.houzz.com/photos/20255/Rhodes-Architecture---Light-contemporary-bathroom-seattle Unfortunately I don't know who the maker of the oval tile was (the tile store was pretty sneaky about hiding manufacturer info) but the color was called "Queen's Jewel" which seems unique enough that you may find it in a Google search. Oh, and the mirror is from Pottery Barn. It works really well in our situation because my husband and I are very different heights, so it's big enough that we can both see ourselves decently with the aid of the tilt. |
Beautiful job! Love the shower, the glass tiles and the cabinetry is gorgeous. If you get a chance to post a close-up pic of your countertops, I'd love to get a better view of the material. Enjoy! |
Simply beautiful! Very spa-like; it's clean, soothing, and relaxing. Love it! |
Bright, beautiful and relaxing looking. Your storage is amazing! |
Wow, gorgeous! Love it all especially the teak floor. Can you lift it and show me more? |
- Posted by wi-sailorgirl (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 22:15
Doggiemom and pharaoh, I'll try to get some detail shots as soon as there's some decent light. pharoah, the teak floor is kind of interesting. There's a little square that pops out over the drain, and then you can lift it from there. Under it we just did an inexpensive one-inch tile in a coordinating color, so the shower looks fine without the teak too. |
Gorgeous- love the wood with the blue accent tile. Can you tell me if the mirror tilts down far enough so you could see yourself if you were sitting? I've been eying that same mirror for our bathroom and am curious about how much tilt it has. |

I also wanted to ask you how the cut tiles on the floor turned out? Do you notice the cut sides/edges on close inspection? I was thinking of doing this, but unsure.... |

Wow! Your bathroom is so unique and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. The contrast of warm wood with the crisp white tile and cool blue is stunning. |

Beautiful bathroom! How are you liking your Runtal Neptune towel warmer? |
Tell me about the teak floor in shower. Why have it? What are advantages? How do you maintain it? DH saw similar floor on a DIY show recently and keeps bringing it up as an idea we ought to incorporate into our reno. I don't understand the appeal . . . sell me on it! Thanks! And great looking bathroom by the way! |

I'm getting back to this REALLY late, so I apologize for that. Just in case anyone is still looking for answers on the questions asked, here goes: - Runtal Neptune towel warmer: I love it when it's working. Seriously I. LOVE. IT. Unnaturally. It's by far my favorite upgrade we did in our entire house renovation. But we've had issues with it. It just stopped working after using it for about 6 months. We sent it back and they fixed it and it came back (they paid for shipping and it was very easy). Six months later it broke again. Even though it was technically out of warranty at this point (which is irritating that it's only a year warranty), I called and they were very apologetic, and said they had an older version that had these problems and they thought they had gotten them all off the market by the time I bought mine. They sent me a new one within a week or two. So I love Runtal's customer service and I love that damn towel warmer like it was my child. - Teak floor in shower: why have it? Well, frankly, just cuz it's cool and I like the look. Well, it also feels amazing under your feet. It's hard to describe but it's very, very comfortable to stand on. For me, it's worth it because I really like the look and the feel. But I will say, it's a bit more work. I take it out about every 4-5 months and pressure wash or scrub it and if necessary apply another coat of teak oil. But it does get kind of gross under there. If I don't lift it up and scrub every few weeks it can be a bit of chore. And for some people that might not be very appealing. For me, I feel like it makes the bathroom (along with the towel warmer) so I'm ok with the tradeoff of a bit more work. |
Beautiful! |
What brand/style is the white shower wall tile? Thanks. Your bathroom looks lovely! |
- Posted by orcasgramma (My Page) on Sun, May 6, 12 at 9:47
WI-Sailorgirl Thank you for your comments about the teak duckboards now that you have had them for a while. Confirms our expectations about their look and feel - and the need for lifting and cleaning. We are looking forward to having them in our shower. I have your pictures saved as inspiration. |

Wow, the teak is really cool! Love the darker woods with the blue and the white, so refreshing. |

Here's a link to the latest completed one; it's a full-size guitar entitled 'Texas Women in Music.' It's on my blog where you can also view what I've been working on for almost a year, the stair risers in my home. |

My GOODNESS, SILVA!! Both projects are filled w/so many interesting things. I notice you tumbled all your glass on the stair risers - smart lady. I wouldn't have the patience to do that. Sure makes a difference in the appearance. The stringers are PERFECT for the guitar strings. What did you put inside the guitar - looks nice. |
- Posted by gardencrone (My Page) on Wed, Aug 5, 09 at 21:46
So much to learn. I loved the way you included jewelry and other pieces with your tiles etc. It tells a story as well as being striking (not to make a pun...lol) The stair risers are amazing...I tried to think of how you would have to put them on....must have had to be on your stomach on the lowest one. Quite an accomplishment. |
i love the blog and just bookmarked it to my fav's!! that guitar is great :) i love the thought of doing the stair risers - yours turned out beautifully! i'm working on a guitar, too. i play (not very well but it's fun) so my dad used to pick up cheap guitars for me at garage sales all the time. a lot of them were damaged in some way or other so i'm using one of those. i'm not sure whether or not to do the sides or the back. i'm leaning toward just sticking to the front because of the amount of work and the amount of glass that would need. |
The guitar is gorgeous but WOW I hadn't realized you are still doing your stairs... they really amaze me! how many stairs are there? so to date, you have or haven't installed any of them? such a work of art! |
- Posted by gardenlover25 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 6, 09 at 10:45
You gave me a great idea not to throw my broken guitar. Instead of throwing I will adopt your idea and style if you don't mind. But I think It would take too long because I will still need to collect on the material which I will be going to use. Thank you so much for the wonderful photos you posted. |
Best way to keep the "music" alive! I did a violin a while back and enjoyed every minute of it. Great work. Those spacers are totally awesome! |

What a cool guitar!!! I too did a guitar, awhile back for my grandson. It was a small childs guitar. He is a Dale Jr fan (Nascar) so it has an 8 on it an other things he wanted. But I used a lot of the same tiles you have on yours!!! Your stairs are gorgeous!!!!!!! I still want to do my stairs (maybe this winter). Beautiful work on both!!!! I'll see if I can find a pi of my quitar |
Here is a link that might be useful: Chase's guitar
Thank you all! Chase's guitar is great! Slow, I glued crumpled metallic gold tissue paper inside the guitar. Then I sealed it with lacquer. I am working on another guitar and this one I plan to spray paint it black on the inside. Here's how I'm doing the stair risers. I carefully measured each one (they aren't exactly the same). I had Lowe's cut plexiglass to fit. Have to use the thicker plexiglass so that it won't flex much. I drilled a hole in each end of each rectangle. I then sat at the kitchen table and mosaiced each one, and grouted, and sealed. Then I installed using one screw at each end. So easy! So, no, I am not down on my knees working. I knew I would not be physically able to do that. That's why I came up with this idea of using plexiglass panels. When gluing the tesserae, I took care to place the more bulky items near each end and put the thinner smoother pieces near the center where people would be walking so they wouldn't hit their heel on something as they came down the stairs. If you go to my blog and scroll to the bottom there is a place to click for older entries and if you go there you will see the beginnings of the project. |

text: WHO: P.M. Dawn THE CASE AGAINST: Beaded, bespectacled Afro-bohos who took De La Soul's urban-hippie aesthetic to its ridiculous, gimmicky conclusion. Not only did 1994's Fear of a Black Hat hilariously parody the duo, but old-school hip-hop vet KRS-One once hurled lead vocalist-rapper Prince Be off the stage at his own show at a New York nightclub -- just for being corny. THE TRUTH: Beat-downs are beside the point. P.M. Dawn's sampling Spandau Ballet's ''True'' as the base for their infectious 1991 hit single, ''Set Adrift on Memory Bliss,'' was a soft stroke of commercial genius on a parallel with Puffy's mo' money, mo' pop-rap ambitions. And while Prince Be was never as good an MC as, well, anyone, his egoless spoken-word ramblings refreshingly sidestepped typical hip-hop bluster and thus predated the introspective indie phenomenon critics are currently calling emo-rap. LISTEN 2: The debut, Of the Heart, of the Soul, and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience (1991).

We have more thoughts on this forthcoming, but for now: it's worth remembering, as TNR's Jason Zengerle pointed out, Moldova's so-called "Twitter Revolution" as a cautionary tale against preemptive and Twitter-triumphant melodrama. Here's Ethan Zuckerman, a fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center who studied the Moldova uprisings and their coverage, discussing the-revolution-that-kinda-wasn't with On the Media's Bob Garfield:
BOB GARFIELD: Can you start by laying out for us what were the first indications that this mass of protestors in Moldova had been organized?
ETHAN ZUCKERMAN: Well, what we saw in Moldova was a lot of discussion in blogs, on Facebook, lots of different social media, with youth, particularly youth on the left, very upset, believing that the elections were rigged. And then we saw street protests with more than 10,000 people out on the streets of Chisinau a week ago Tuesday. And people very, very quickly made a link between social media and the actual manifestations in the streets.
Near as we can tell, the first to the scene was The Telegraph in the U.K. with a story linking Twitter as a causal factor in all of this. And then there was a thoughtful, although perhaps a little breathless, post from my friend Evgeny Morozov on a very influential blog called Net Effect, which declared this the "Twitter Revolution."
And then from the press standpoint of this, we were off to the races. It showed up in The New York Times the next day as the "Twitter Revolution," and that meme propagated in a lot of different directions.
GARFIELD: Now, one thing you discovered as you looked at the data is that most of the tweets emanated not from the scene of the protest but elsewhere, because there aren't many Twitter subscribers in Moldova. But, of course, that doesn't mean that Twitter wasn't a catalyst in one what happened. How big a part did it play?
ZUCKERMAN: My take on it at this point is that Twitter probably wasn't all that important in organizing the demonstrations. Where I think they were enormously important is helping people, particularly people in the Moldovan Diaspora, keep up with the events in real time.
One thing to keep in mind is that Moldova has a huge population living abroad - it's more than 25 percent of the country - and they were really attached to Twitter as a source of information. Roughly a quarter of all of the messages posted on Tuesday, the day of the actual demonstrations, were what we call re-tweets. It's basically saying, hey, I'm quoting this speaker who said the following. And mostly those re-tweets were reports from people who either were in the square or had news from the square.
What you saw on that Tuesday was really people trying to find ways to sort of spontaneously organize a newsroom. By Wednesday, a lot of what seems to be going on in the Twittering is a sort of self-congratulatory, hey, we just held a revolution over Twitter – isn't this exciting? Twitter will change the world.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet. Never before have we seen an Elvis concert from the 50's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered Unreleased Film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. This is an excellent release no fan should be without it. The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people.
We love Elvis Presley !!!!!!!! : So ... Stop, look and listen baby that's our philosophy ... First thing in the morning, last thing at night ... look, stare everywhere and see everything inside ... Stop, look and listen! |

This is from the Orlando Sentinel and it is very interesting. Below is only part of the story click the link "Full Story" to read the rest of it and to see pics.
I have never seen a parade disintegrate before my eyes, but thats what happened in Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom Thursday when I watched the Celebrate a Dream Come True parade nearly wash away. I got to the park just before 3 p.m. and my drive down had been sunny and pleasant. The parade stepped off on Main Street under fairly blue skies, but in an instant everything changed. A huge storm cloud blew over top of us so quickly that Mickey and Minnie got by me in Town Square without a drop, but by Pinocchios float the next one a heavy rain had started.
Disney equips characters with clear plastic umbrellas and Snow Whites poor Prince struggled mightily to get one open for his princess. To her credit as did all the performers Snow White carried on smiling, singing and dancing. But things were getting worse quickly. The female dancers hair was already sticking to the sides of their faces. Thunder was starting to crackle. I assumed floats would stop coming out of the gate, but they all came out. Aladdin, umbrella-less, was sporting a very soggy turban. Mary Poppins, of course, has her own umbrella, and Bert was cheerful as ever. Alice and the Mad Hatter even had a little horseplay as she was too short to effectively hold an umbrella over his gigantic hat.

Regular vacuuming will help rugs retain their beauty and will extend the life of the rug.
Clean food and beverage spills immediately by removing the excess material gently with a spoon and then use R2X- stain and soil remover. If R2X is not available use a solution of clear, non-bleach dish washing detergent (1/4 tsp detergent to 32 oz water). Gently agitate the pile and blot with white paper towels until no transfer of the spill or color. Rinse by spraying with clean water and blot dry. To help the area dry faster try placing a thick stack of white paper towels on the area and then put a smooth bottomed casserole dish on top. Use a milk jug filled with water or some other heavy object in the dish. You can switch out stacks of paper towels until there is no more moisture present.
Professional carpet cleaning is recommended using the hot water extraction method. Do not dry clean your Shaw Rugs and or use bleach.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Missy, a Jeffersonville Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Jeffersonville, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Jeffersonville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Jeffersonville 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 Jeffersonville 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 Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Jeffersonville paves the way for another one to be saved.
