Carnival Breeze Dining
Breeze offers Carnival's most varied mix of dining options, from a burger joint designed by Food Network celeb Guy Fieri and the line's first stand-alone sushi restaurant to the traditional main dining rooms. Here's the full rundown:
Breeze has a pair of two-deck dining rooms, Sapphire (midship) and Blush (aft), differentiated by the lighting scheme -- softly glowing blue chandeliers and zigzagging overhead light fixtures for Sapphire, the same in red/pink for Blush. Passengers can opt for traditional set-seating dining (6 and 8:15 p.m.) or go modern with Carnival's flex-dining program, which allows you to dine in part of Sapphire between the hours of 5:45 and 9:30 p.m.
Nightly rotating menus feature salads, appetizers and chilled soups, with entrees consisting of pasta, meat, fish and vegetarian options. Choices that are lower in fat, cholesterol and sodium are denoted with little hearts (pan-seared fish, lighter sauces). The cutesy "Didja Ever" option, which changes nightly, is aimed at first-timer culinary experience (ahi tuna, escargot). Desserts include ice cream, pies and Carnival's infamous chocolate melting cake. For the finicky eaters, always-available options include flat iron steak, fried chicken and a vegetarian Indian plate. No meal in the main dining room would be complete without Carnival's signature singing and dancing waiters, who clap and hop around to digitized music, sometimes pulling passengers into the show.
Sit-down breakfast and lunch is also served in Blush. The menu items -- omelets, cereals and breads for breakfast and sandwiches, burgers and salads for lunch -- are not much different than the buffet offerings, but they're served in a more formal, less manic setting. Quality is commensurate -- it's the service element that differentiates the options.
The fee-free Punchliner Comedy Brunch, a sea day exclusive, features five-minute teasers from that evening's comedians every hour on the hour from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. There's also a special menu inspired by Carnival's "Curator of Comedy," George Lopez, and a Bloody Mary bar ($7.75 to $8.75). Dishes include huevos y carne, a Mexican-style steak-and-eggs dish, and a breakfast burrito.
Carnival has focused on redoing its top-ship buffet, a venue with a reputation for being something like a mob scene. Breeze's Lido Marketplace is lighter in design (beach umbrellas, faux brick walls) and more subdivided than previous Carnival buffets, offering a series of smaller spaces that segment the crowds. It's still congested -- especially when the hungry masses return from a port day -- but it's an improvement. As is the norm for Carnival ships, offerings are split by action stations. Passengers will find decent salad and dessert bars, made-to-order Mongolian Wok (choose your noodles, veggies, protein) and sandwich stations (turkey, tuna, caprese), and a comfort food setup (mac 'n' cheese, meatloaf). A plethora of other hot and cold offerings, including soups, salads, seafood, meats and pasta, also make the rounds.
More casual dining options spill out forward and aft onto the ship's two main pool decks. At the adjacent midship Beach Pool area, Guy's Burger Joint serves slabs of beef on a bun from noon to 6 p.m. The burgers are unapologetic monuments to excess: 80-20 beef patties topped with American cheese and cheese whiz on buttered buns. Add bacon, mayo and oil-soaked onions or mushrooms, and you have a hangover cure or a heart attack-inducer. They're a massive success.
Across the way is the BlueIguana Cantina, which offers wrapped-to-order burritos and topped-to-order tacos (for breakfast and lunch). On a ship aiming to evoke seaside spots like the Caribbean, California and Mexico, the burrito concept works beautifully. Roll chicken, cheese, beans and pico de gallo into a house-made tortilla cooked on a big, showpiece press. Then direct burrito-wielding passengers over to a condiments bar with more than 20 salsas and hot sauces, plus watermelon. Unfortunately, the salt content is off the charts. With all those great salsas, including offbeat concoctions like watermelon and jicama, and smoked tomato and scallion, where are the tortilla chips? (That's right, there aren't any.)
By the Tides Pool, located at the ship's stern, the 24-hour Pizza Pirate bakes pies to order, so it rarely has more than a couple slices available to quickly pilfer. Passengers will almost always have to wait a few minutes for the pizza to come out. It's worth it. The slices aren't Brooklyn's wood-fired finest, but the much-improved pizza (new dough, flatter crust) is the best of its kind at sea, and it comes out of the oven hot.
Nearby is our favorite casual venue, Tandoor, an Indian-themed grab-and-go counter, typically open from noon to 2:30 p.m. A row of meat-and-veggie skewers offers an appetizing backdrop to the grilled meat and fish, curries, daals and rice alongside key accouterments like mint chutney, raita and achar (pickle).
One deck up from the Lido Marketplace is Cucina del Capitano, a for-fee Italian restaurant that's decked out with novelty-sized wine bottles, checkered tables, singing waiters and framed pictures highlighting Carnival's Italian heritage (the origin of its ships and many of its captains). Passengers dine on hefty pasta platters, chicken parmesan and steak, and sip on $5 glasses of Chianti, dispensed via a wine barrel on wheels. Sides and appetizers -- arugula salad, minestrone soup -- are served family-style if more than one person at a table orders them. Tableside entertainment involves waiters awkwardly singing and dancing to Italian favorites ("That's Amore") over muzak tracks. Adults pay $15 to eat dinner there; kids younger than 12 pay $5. One tip: Don't stay too late. The restaurant is positioned directly underneath the basketball court. While we were sipping cappuccinos, the roof seemed poised to cave in under the repeated thunderstorm of bouncing balls.
Cucina is also open for surcharge-free lunch, during which cooks whip up stir-fried pasta creations to go along with self-serve salads and sides.
Bonsai Sushi is Carnival's first stand-alone, sit-down sushi venue located on Deck 5 -- on its other ships, a chef wheels out a surcharge-free sushi cart at night (with limited offerings). The menu is expanded at Bonsai, where tables are topped with the eponymous mini-trees, and framed Japanese graffiti hangs on the walls. Pricing for apps (like wagyu short ribs), salads and soups (noodle salad, miso soup), sushi (tuna, shrimp) and rolls (California, eel) is a la carte. Diners should expect to pay $12 to $20 for the food. (Ichibans and bottles of saki are extra.) Best deal: At $15, the sushi boat for two is the way to go. Each passenger gets a miso soup, green salad with ginger dressing and a smattering of sushi served on a faux-pine toy boat.
We do have one bone to pick. The slightly disturbing tableside song-and-dance routine may offend some. The scene: A trio of teeny-tiny Japanese waitresses ecstatically sing a heavily accented version of "Turning Japanese" as diners wave fish-shaped flags. (Google the song meaning.) The surreal rendition left more than one diner with mouth agape.
Passengers fine with Carnival's "free" sushi will find that it's been relocated to the buffet during evening hours.
On sea days, Fat Jimmy's C-Side BBQ pulls hundreds off the sun deck to its Deck 5 outdoor promenade spot. Chefs prod and flip coils of sausages on the grill, and plates are piled high with chicken, pulled pork, charred vegetables, creamed corn, baked beans and jalapeno cornbread mini-muffins. The requisite BBQ sauces and a makeshift mini-bar round out the offerings. Expect to queue up for 15 to 20 minutes or so to get a crack at Fat Jimmy's.
Fahrenheit 555 is the ship's rebranded steakhouse, serving exactly what you'd expect -- classic soups and starters (baked onion soup, tuna tartare), salads (Caesar, spinach salad) and prime aged beef, chops and seafood (ribeye, lamb, lobster), which the server wheels out on a cart for a pre-meal examination and explanation. It's $35 for a starter, salad, entree and dessert. Reservations are recommended, especially if you want to eat at prime time (6:30 to 8 p.m.).
The Taste Bar, also found on Carnival Miracle, offers a nightly rotating menu culled from the ship's various dining venues. Given its promenade location, the venue is a perfect amuse bouche on the evening march to the dining room. There are typically two tapas to sample, like short rib croquettes and pumpkin bisque from Fahrenheit 555, the ship's for-fee steakhouse ($35 per person). The small plates don't incur an extra charge, but the accompanying (and also rotating) cocktails are an attractive $5. For instance, passengers can opt for a Lynchburg Lemonade on "Comfort Kitchen" night, which features a grilled ham and provolone cheese melt on buttermilk brioche and cream of tomato soup, sourced from Breeze's casual buffet spot.
Carnival's popular RedFrog Pub, which debuted on Magic, features light bites in addition to its signature libations. Because you shouldn't order one of the always-hopping RedFrog Pub's 101-ounce beer tubes on an empty stomach, the menu also features a selection of bar apps for $3.33. Savory options include conch, sirloin and grouper sliders; fried green beans; and grilled chicken roti. A bowl of "pigeon peas," salty, spicy, deep-fried peas, are an included staple at every table.
The Ocean Plaza Cafe is Breeze's version of Starbucks. Alongside the for-fee lattes, cappuccinos and espresso drinks are cakes, gelato and cookies, which range from $1.50 to $3 each.
Breeze also features the $75-per-person Chef's Table, a now industry staple where passengers meet the head chef, wander the galley and enjoy a multicourse feast, paired with wine and a bit of culinary Q&A. Reservations are required -- and this event can fill up quickly.
The well-oiled room service operation is available 24 hours. The decent menu includes Continental breakfast items, as well as hot and cold items like BLT's, roast beef sandwiches, salads and cookies. It says to allow up to 45 minutes for a delivery, but it's often much quicker. It's customary to tip a couple bucks per order.

Pampers is a brand of disposable diaper (or nappy) marketed by Procter & Gamble worldwide.
Makes me just say "wow"
This commercial reminds me how wonderful this life is when everything is peaceful. Look at the baby's face..so cute, sweet and full of tenderness. I really love it! Pampers gives comfort and emotion as the babies sleep peacefully. The background song supports the commercial without music. But the singer sings it with a clear voice and it makes me just say "wow". So peaceful.
Sharleen, Indonesia - 27 March 2010
A brand with a great purpose
Pampers is a brand with a great purpose - to care for all babies' happy, healthy development.
Jodi, - 27 June 2009
Which brand of diapers do you use?
I know this sounds far fetched, but among the many questions I asked when trying to select a day care center for my children was "which brand of diapers do you use?". If they didn't use Pampers, they were out! And then when a move forced us to go to a day care center not using Pampers I suppplied them for my daughters. While the other children were "not allowed sugar", "allergic to strawberries", or "vegetarian"...my daughter was "not allowed any diaper besides Pampers"...crazy huh?
Tanya, Netherlands - 04 October 2007
Ponder on this...
Sometimes we take things for granted BUT - if you have a baby, ponder on this: Q: What would you do WITHOUT Pampers?A: Pray for it to be invented!
Sara, United Arab Emirates - 07 September 2004
It has happened
If anyone had told me that I would fall in love with the smell of a fresh diaper - I would have thought they were crazy... but it has happened. Of course it probably has something to do with the fact that every time I am getting a new diaper out to use I am also touching my baby boy's soft skin and looking into his eyes and kissing his little belly.
Patrick, United States - 02 July 2004
They've come a long way
Pampers disposable diapers have come a long way! Now they are sleek, trim baby underwear. They are easy to use with the velcro fastening tabs and the diaper can be easily checked and refastened. Baby's bottom is dry and clean thanks to the technology that wicks moisture away from delicate skin. No more fear of leaks or accidents that ruin both baby's and mommy's clothes. If you have a baby....you have to try Pampers disposable diapers. Trying them just once will make you a convert.
Shirley, Canada - 25 June 2004
Insightful advertising
The advertising for this brand is insightful. Everything from the stories, the production, the music work. If you're a mum (or a dad, in my case!) you totally get it. Or even better, they get you; the issue you face is keeping your baby's tush dry.

[1953] DNA Quantity and Quality from Paraffin Blocks: A Comparison of Fixation, Processing and Nucleic Acid Extraction Techniques
G Turashvili, M Carrier, N Gale, Y Ng, K Chow, L Bell, M Luk, S Kalloger, B Gilks, S Aparicio, D Huntsman. BC Cancer Agency, Provincial Health Services Authority, Vancouver, BC, Canada; Vancouver General Hospital, University of British Columbia, Canada, BC, Canada
Background: DNA extracted from paraffin blocks can be used for mutation detection, copy number analysis and most recently whole genome or exome sequencing using Next Generation Sequencing. Although the capacity to extract high quality DNA from paraffin blocks is of more importance now than ever, there is little information available to guide laboratories in their selection of tissue fixation, processing and DNA extraction techniques.
Design: Nine samples (three each of colon, liver and muscle) were subjected to the following fixation and processing conditions: 1. frozen; 2. neutral buffered formalin (NBF) fixation <24 hours; 3. NBF fixation 7 days; 4. molecular fixative (MF) <24 hours; 5. MF 7 days. NBF-fixed samples were processed by standard processing (Tissue-Tek VIP5 processor, Somagen, Canada), and MF-fixed samples by rapid processing (Tissue-Tek Xpress, Somagen). DNA was extracted using phenol-chloroform manual extraction, RecoverAll (Ambion, USA), Waxfree DNA (Trimgen, USA), and QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Canada). DNA quantity and quality were assessed using Nanodrop, and PCR was attempted for amplicons of five lengths (268-1300 bp).
Results: Manual extraction yielded the highest amount of DNA followed by Waxfree DNA, QIAamp and finally RecoverAll kit, independent of the type of tissue, fixation or processing. For all five amplicons used, there were no significant differences between MF-fixed and frozen tissues, and between manual and Waxfree DNA kits on PCR. High molecular weight (1300 bp) DNA was preserved in MF-fixed tissues stored for <24 hours or 7 days, with no difference among the four kits (p>0.05). For NBF-fixed tissues, all kits performed similarly except for RecoverAll kit and manual extraction which amplified 536-989 bp and 536 bp fragments, respectively, in fewer samples than other kits (p<0.02). Short DNA fragments (268 bp) were successfully amplified in all tissue types using all kits.
Conclusions: The molecular fixative regardless of the duration of fixation, and the rapid processing system used in this study were able to preserve large DNA fragments in paraffin blocks, making these techniques suitable for use in molecular assays, particularly those involving sequencing technologies.

Maximize your enjoyment with outdoor heater parts
Sears has outdoor heater parts that will help you get the most from your heater, fireplace or fire pit. Your natural gas or propane heater needs a UL-certified gas line with a safety regulator, and we'll have the right length for the connection. We carry 1-pound disposable propane bottles and 20-pound bottles with overfill safety valves that can be refilled for convenience. To accessorize your fire pit or chimenea, select a firewood rack or hoop in attractive wood or metal styles. Carrying wood from the pile is easy on your arms with a comfortable log tote from Sears. A cover will keep your wood pile dry and free of critters. Covers for fire pits and chimeneas are available in multiple sizes and styles to fit your needs.
You can make the most of your patio or deck with attractive, warm patio heaters. Many produce enough heat to warm a circle 15 feet in diameter. Table-top heaters and tower heaters come in a beautiful array of styles and finishes to blend seamlessly with your outdoor furniture and accessories. Shopping by brand, price or fuel type allows you to quickly narrow your choices.
Outdoor fireplaces help you create a warm, inviting atmosphere when spending time with family, friends or someone special. Many fire pits produce on old-world atmosphere while others are distinctly contemporary. Your choices include fire pots small enough for the middle of the table or large enough to be the focal point on a deck or patio. If you prefer the glow, aroma and crackle of a real wood fireplace, we offer an appealing selection of styles. Complete the set with tools to tend the fire from the start until the last coals lose their glow. As a finishing touch, fire beads in many different colors add a special glow to any fire. Gas logs are a great alternative for those who love the look of a natural fire but don't like the smoke or hassle.
Being cold in your car is just as unpleasant as being chilled on the patio. While you can't pack a patio heater in your vehicle, you can replace the heater core. Our quality heater cores from TYC and other top brands serve as universal replacement parts. They are manufactured in a range of configurations to match your coolant lines.
How do you want to beat the cold? Sears is here to help with a large selection of outdoor heating options. You'll enjoy browsing patio heaters and outdoor fireplaces to find just the right one for your back yard. When you find it, place your order with Sears, and we'll promptly ship it to your deck or door.

.- The head of the Church of England, Archbishop Rowan Williams of Canterbury met privately in Rome with Pope Benedict XVI on Nov. 18.
The meeting comes at an awkward time in relations between the Church of England and the Catholic Church.
On Nov. 8, five Anglican bishops announced they were resigning their posts to enter the Catholic Church under special terms outlined last year by Pope Benedict.
One of the five, Bishop John Broadhurst of Fulham, told the London Times, that he believed thousands, not hundreds, of laity would follow them into the Catholic Church.
Archbishop Williams had already been scheduled to visit Rome to take part in 50th anniversary celebrations of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.
However, his meeting with the Pope recalled one held in Rome almost exactly one year ago — after the Pope had released his plans to create "personal ordinariates" for Anglicans seeking to come over to Rome.
Details of this latest meeting have not been released. Archbishop Williams did address the conversions in an interview with Vatican Radio Nov. 18.
He said he was "deeply skeptical" about the "larger claims" of a massive exodus of Anglicans to Rome.
Asked about the Pope's invitation to Anglicans and his creation of personal ordinariates, Archbishop Williams said: "I don't see it as an aggressive act, meant to destabilize the relations of the churches, and it remains to be seen just how large a movement we're talking about."
For the first time, Archbishop Williams suggested that worshipers who join the ordinariate could be allowed to stay in their Anglican churches under a plan to let Roman Catholics share Church of England facilities.
The process is just getting underway and the parameters for new dioceses to be composed of former Anglicans, called "personal ordinariates," are still up in the air. By way of these ordinariates Anglicans will be able to "cross over" singly or en masse into the Catholic Church while retaining their liturgical traditions.
Through direct communication between the bishops and the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the first could be created in the United Kingdom in 2011.

Has anyone in the Houston area had to fill out a Stormwater Reservation Application? If so, how long did the process take? We were told 12 days or more. We have our city permits ready but have been told we now have to submit this application. I want to cry, this is the only thing holding us up. Grrr! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We're in League City, and didn't have to do it. Haven't heard of it either. Sorry! |
Thanks, wamaha. It is something new and the first time that our PB has heard of it too. I think he said that it has something to do with the fact that we are on an acre. It was a 6 page application and we had to figure all of the impervious surfaces. Now they are saying that it could take longer than 12 days because they are moving their office on the 18th. Just my luck! |

The new Pizza Hut P'Zolo is the latest offering from the company. The new menu item has been compared to "hot pockets" by many, as it is essentially a piece of dough filled with toppings.
There are three different options to choose from: the first is called Buffalo Chicken P'Zolo with buffalo chicken and asiago cheese. The second is called Italian Steak P'Zolo, which contains steak, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, asiago cheese and onions. And lastly, the Meat Trio P'Zolo is filled with pepperoni, ham, Italian sausauge and asiago cheese. The P'Zolo also comes with your choice of ranch or marinara dipping sauce.
By adding the P'Zolo to its menu, Pizza Hut is able to offer their customers diversity, while also getting a feel for whether or not it appeals to its consumers.

Confirming the diagnosis of prostate cancer is not always easy.
A patient with complaints and an elevated PSA does not necessarily have prostate cancer. Developments in MR imaging are rapid. This paper describes how the use of MR imaging can be of great value for patients with prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in men, and this statistic is increasing, partly due to screening and partly due to the aging of the population. Confirming the diagnosis of prostate cancer is not always easy. Complaints of pain or discomfort and/or an elevated serum level of the biomarker prostate specific antigen (PSA) do not necessary mean that the patient has prostate cancer. In many cases (80%), it is "just" a non-malignant disease of the prostate.
Detection and localization
Current medical imaging techniques, such as transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and conventional MRI, can visualize prostate disease but are barely able to distinguish between cancer and non-malignant disease. Ultrasound-guided biopsy and subsequent histological examination often give a definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer. But since biopsies are taken randomly, there is a risk that the tumor is missed or that the most aggressive part of the tumor is not biopsied. In the Gosselaar study1, prostate cancer was detected in 29% of the men in the first TRUS-guided biopsy. After the second biopsy, it was detected in 19%, and after the third biopsy, again in 19%. Sampling of additional 'low signal' areas on TRUS results in a positive tumor in only 3.5 %of men1.
Functional multi-modality MR imaging (See figure 1) includes high resolution MR imaging (1a), dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI (1b), MR-spectroscopy (MRS) (1c), and diffusion weighted MR imaging (DWI) (1d). With functional multi-modality MR imaging, it is possible to detect and exactly localize the tumor in the prostate with more than 90% accuracy2. DCE-MRI gives more information regarding the perfusion of the prostate and the tumor. In prostate cancer, there are more blood vessels (and above all more leaky blood vessels) by which the tumor receives more blood and therefore shows more and earlier contrast enhancement. MRS provides quantitative information about choline (elevated in tumor) and citrate concentration (often depressed in tumor) in the prostate. DWI-MRI allows visualization of the amount of free-moving water molecules in tissue; in a tumor, this movement is diminished.
It is therefore not surprising that our first results with multi-modality MR-guided biopsy detected cancer in 59% of the 67 patients who had previously had at least 2 negative TRUS-biopsy sessions. (See figure 2).
Local Staging
Although a large number of men above age 50 will develop prostate cancer, only in a small proportion of patients will their tumor become aggressive. For the majority of men with non-aggressive tumors, one can delay invasive treatment until the tumor becomes aggressive (watchful waiting). It is essential to precisely characterize the tumor. This can be achieved with multi-modality MRI.
With nomograms based on the serum PSA-value, the tumor's aggression (expressed in Gleason-grade), and the outcome of a digital rectal examination, an attempt is made to predict (1) the aggression and local extension of the tumor, and (2) the presence of lymph node metastasis. Based on these nomograms, the further treatment strategy is determined. Unfortunately, these nomograms are only moderately reliable, so that it is not always possible to make the right treatment decision. By means of functional (multi-modality) MR imaging, information can be acquired regarding the aggression of the tumor. Furthermore, an MR-examination, performed at high field strength (3 Tesla) with use of an endorectal coil (ERC), allows a very accurate determination of minimal (sub-millimeter) extraprostatic spread. The sensitivity and specificity of 3T ERC MR imaging for determination of extraprostatic disease are respectively 87% and 96%3. If it is decided to surgically remove the prostate, it is important to know where the tumor is located and whether it shows extra-prostatic growth (see figure 3). If the tumor is distant from the neurovascular bundles, these bundles can be spared. This decreases the chance of postoperative impotence. If the MRI shows obvious extraprostatic extension, it can be concluded that surgery is less useful so the best choice is hormonal therapy with or without radiotherapy.
Nowadays, prostate cancer is increasingly treated with directed, local radiotherapy. If the precise location of the tumor is known, it is possible to give a local boost to this location in the prostate. This has the advantage that less radiation is given to the surrounding tissue, with fewer side-effects. An MRI can supply this information4.
Lymph Node Metastasis
Hormonal therapy with or without radiation is the best treatment if there are metastases to the lymph nodes. The risk of lymph node metastasis is currently determined with the help of the previously described (inaccurate) nomogram. In patients with an elevated risk for metastasis, additional examinations are required. Currently, the most used imaging techniques for detecting lymph node metastasis are multi-detector CT scan (MDCT) and conventional MRI. The accuracy of MDCT and conventional MRI is not high. This makes supplementary invasive diagnostic examination in the form of surgical pelvic lymph node (PLN) dissection mandatory. There is a new MRI technique using a lymph-node-specific contrast agent (Combidex) (MRL)5,6.
Editor's note: Combidex has had promising results in Europe, but it is not yet available in the U.S., and it may not get FDA approval soon. For more on Combidex, see:
Ferumoxtran-10: An Important New Prostate Cancer Staging Tool
Combidex consists of iron-oxide containing nanoparticles. When this contrast agent is administered intravenously, it is taken up by macrophages and transported to healthy lymph tissue. The iron causes changes in the magnetic characteristics of the tissue that result in low signal intensity on MR images. Therefore, 24 to 36 hours after Combidex injection, healthy lymph nodes are black on MR images due to the iron within macrophages. Macrophages are absent in lymph nodes with metastasis, and thus these lymph nodes do not have a low signal: the tissue is white (figures 4 and 5).
With MRL, it is possible to examine the entire abdomen instead of only a restricted area surrounding a few pelvic blood vessels, as is the case with PLN dissection. The sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values are respectively 82%, 93%, 96%, and 69%. In specialized centers, it is even higher: 90%, 94%, 98% and 75%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of MRL in the detection of lymph node metastasis is significantly higher than with MDCT6. The high negative predictive value (>96%) of MRL means that after a negative result on MRL, PLN dissection does not have to be performed. Due to the latter, obtaining a diagnosis with MRL is economically cheaper and results in fewer complications than with the current invasive diagnostic technique of MDCT + PLND. In addition, in at least in 30% of patients, thanks to MRL, nodes are detected which are not found by the routine PLN dissection, as they are located in the internal and common iliac, perirectal and para-aortic regions.
The positive and negative nodes can be made visible on a combined CT-angiography-MRL image (see figure 6). In this way, the location of positive nodes relative to the large pelvic vessels can be visualized. This information can help the surgeon to find these nodes or help the radiation oncologist to give selective lymph node radiotherapy. Unfortunately, the iron oxide contrast agent has not yet obtained official registration.

PSA Recurrence
If there is a PSA rise in a treated patient, the most important question is: is this the result of a local recurrence, or is it caused by lymph nodes or bone marrow metastases? MRI also has a role in this situation.
• First, bone metastasis can be excluded by means of a 'whole-body' MRI.
• If this is negative, then Combidex MRL should be used to exclude node metastasis. In post-treated patients, we found no correlation between PSA value or PSA doubling time and positive nodes. There was, however, a positive correlation between PSA velocity and positive nodes on MRL. Thus, even in patients with a low PSA, but high PSA velocity, a MRL is of use to exclude metastases.
Finally, multi-modality MRI can be performed to determine if there is a local recurrence (see figure 7).
This article describes the potential value of MR imaging for patients with prostate cancer. To summarize, MR imaging affords:
• Accurate detection of tumors, thereby providing increased accuracy and decreasing the number of unnecessary biopsies.
• Better determination of the location and extension of the tumor: this makes targeted radiotherapy or targeted treatments possible, and reduces side-effects of this treatment (damage to the intestine, impotence, incontinence).
• Better prediction of tumor aggression. For patients with a non-aggressive tumor, this means that one has the possibility to defer invasive treatment, and act based on subsequent MR results.
• Non-surgical detection of very small metastases in lymph nodes. This also means there is a possibility for more patients to undergo targeted therapy.
• For 'PSA-recurrence' patients, instead of a bone-scan a 'whole-body' MRI can be performed, followed by an MRL, and a local "functional" MRI. Based on this MRI, the eventual local treatment can be started.

An Alternative to CT Scan and Lymph-Node Dissection in Patients with Prostate Cancer: a Prospective Multicohort Study
Editor's Note: From April 2003 to April 2008, a Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center team led by Dr. Barentsz tested the hypothesis that a negative MR lymphography result obviates the need for a pelvic lymph node dissection. The following paragraphs, published in a slightly different form in Lancet Oncology, summarize the methodology and conclusions of that study, and amplifies Dr. Barentzs's article, MRI in Prostate Cancer.
In patients with prostate cancer deemed to be at intermediate or high risk of harbouring nodal metastases, an invasive diagnostic pelvic lymph node (PLN) dissection continues to be the gold standard for the detection of nodal disease. However, recently a new lymph node-specific MR-contrast agent has been shown to be able to detect metastases in small normal-sized nodes (MR lymphography: MRL). In a prospective multi-centre cohort study1, we have compared the diagnostic accuracy of MRL with up-to-date multi-detector CT (MDCT), and have tested the hypothesis that a negative MRL result obviates the need for a PLN dissection.
We included 375 consecutive prostate cancer patients with an intermediate or high risk of harbouring lymph node metastases. The study was conducted in 11 hospitals in the Netherlands between 8 April 2003 and 19 April 2005. All patients were examined by MDCT and MRL and underwent PLN dissection or fine needle aspiration biopsy. Imaging results were correlated with histopathology. (This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00185029.)
The prevalence of lymph node metastases was 16% (61/375). For MDCT and MRL respectively, the sensitivity was 34% (95% CI (23-48) and 82% (95% CI 70-90); the specificity was 97% (95% CI 94-98) and 93% (95% CI 89-95); the positive predictive values (PPV) were 66% (95% CI 47-81) and 69% (95% CI 56-79); and the negative predictive values were (NPV) 88% (95% CI 84-91) and 96% (95% CI 93-98). The sensitivity of MRL was significantly better than MDCT (McNemar p< 0.05). Of the 61 patients with lymph node metastases, 50 were detected by MRL, of which 80% (40/50) had metastases in normal-sized lymph nodes (that is, in nodes < 8 mm). The high sensitivity and negative predictive value of an MRL imply that in patients with a negative MRL, the chance of positive lymph nodes is less than 4% (11/302).
The high NPV and sensitivity imply that patients with a negative MRL result have a chance of positive lymph nodes of less than 4%. It has been generally accepted that a PLN dissection should not be performed if the risk of lymph node involvement is less than 5%.2,3,4,5 Based on tables or nomograms with intermediate or high risk for lymph node metastases, this indicates that a PLN dissection can be omitted for patients with a negative MRL. Thus, after a negative MRL, a urologist or radiation oncologist can immediately proceed to local therapy without performing PLN dissection. In this study, it would have precluded a PLN dissection in 84% (302/375) of all included patients. Because a false positive result has serious clinical consequences (namely that a curative therapy might be withheld), a positive MRL finding should always be confirmed by (MR-directed) FNAB or PLND.
Thanks to a more extensive PLN dissection where the MRL showed positive nodes outside the normal surgical area, positive nodes were found in 30% (18/61) of additional patients. These findings are in agreement with Burkhard et al,6 who performed an extended PLN dissection in all of her patients, which yielded positive nodes in 24% additional patients. This is an advantage in terms of costs and morbidity.
The new imaging MRL technique potentially can modify current practice by abolishing the need for a PLN dissection in patients with a negative MRL. No PLN dissection needs to be performed any more. In patients with a positive MRL, the MRL can guide a FNAB or PLN dissection to obtain histopathology or to remove the affected node with minimal surgical effort. This may result in less direct post-surgical morbidity for the patient, less surgery time for the surgeon, lower health care costs, and a more accurate diagnosis.
In summary, we concluded that in patients deemed to be at intermediate or high risk of harboring lymph node metastases and in those centres with experience and dedication in the use and interpretation of MRL, this technique had significantly higher sensitivity and NPV in the detection of lymph node metastases than does MDCT. In such patients after a negative MRL, the post-test probability of having lymph node metastases is sufficiently low (less than 4%) to omit a PLN dissection.

What can you say about the Mets between 1979 and 1982? Not much. Maybe that they avoided losing 100 games a year — though the only time they didn't come close was 1981, when a strike canceled nearly a third of the season. But a couple signs of the future appeared: Fred Wilpon as part owner, in 1980, and Mookie Wilson as a promising rookie, in 1981.
Record: 63-99, sixth in National League East.
A combination of weak hitting and pitching dooms the Mets to their third consecutive last place finish. Ed Kranepool plays in his 18th and final season with the club. Lee Mazzilli bats .303 with 79 RBIs and becomes the first Met to hit a home run in the All Star Game. Craig Swan wins a career high 14 games; Neil Allen saves 8 games, all in the second half of the season.
The Mets lose 33 out of 40 games from mid-August to late September to fall to 57-99; they're spared 100 losses by winning their last 6 games, 4 of them in St. Louis. Attendance falls to a dismal 788,905 and following the end of the season, the Payson family announces that the club is for sale.
Record: 67-95, fifth in National League East.
On Jan. 24, book magnate Nelson Doubleday and real estate developer Fred Wilpon buy the Mets for the then-exorbitant price of $21.1 million dollars. Wilpon becomes team president, and Frank Cashen, architect of the powerful Baltimore dynasty of the late 1960s and early 1970s, is hired as general manager.
After a 9-18 start, the Mets play well for much of the summer, going 47-39 from early May to mid-August with several exciting wins. Mike Jorgensen's walk-off grand slam gives the Mets a 6-2 win over Los Angeles on June 11, and a few days later, Steve Henderson's walk-off three-run homer caps a five-run ninth in an unbelievable 7-6 win over San Francisco.
As of mid-August, the Mets are 56-57, and just 7 1/2 games out of first — but then they lose 38 of their last 49.
Mark Bomback leads the staff with 10 wins, and Allen emerges as a top-flight reliever with 22 saves. Doug Flynn wins the Gold Glove at second base; Mazzilli leads the club with 16 homers, 76 RBIs and a .280 average. With an eye to the future, Darryl Strawberry is drafted out of Crenshaw High in Los Angeles. Shea Stadium undergoes extensive renovations and the Home Run Apple makes its debut.
Record: 17-34 first half, 24-28 second half, 41-62 overall, fifth in National League East.
The strike season sees the Mets begin the rebuilding under Cashen. Dave Kingman (22 homers) and Rusty Staub (.317) are reacquired; while rookies Mookie Wilson (.271, 24 stolen bases) and Hubie Brooks (.307) show promise for the future.
Allen saves 18 in just 43 games and ties Pat Zachry for the club lead in wins with seven. Joe Torre is fired as manager at the end of the season.
Record: 65-97, sixth in National League East.
The rebuilding is now in full swing, as the Mets start to stockpile tremendous minor league talent that will eventually bring success back to Flushing. But on the major league level, the losing continues. Though the Mets get off to a very respectable 27-21 start under new manager George Bamberger, they go 38-76 the rest of the season.
Kingman becomes the first Met to win a home run title, leading the league with 37 while driving in 99 runs, despite batting just .204. Slugger George Foster, acquired from Cincinnati, is a big disappointment. Wilson is the bright light of the season, stealing 58 bases and scoring 90 runs. On the mound, Swan (11-7) enjoys a fine comeback, while Allen, despite missing most of the second half due to a colon infection, saves 19.

Here is what you can find on the shelves that is new next week. Come in and visit us, or put your items on hold from home! We will let you know when they are ready for you to pick up!
This recent PBS documentary made national headlines in the wake of the NFL's settlement with retired players. It's a sobering look at America's favorite game and the price paid by those who play football at every level...concussions, personality changes, anger management, depression, dementia, severe health issues, and suicide are all linked to the violence of football. What did the NFL know and when did the league know it? That's what League of Denial wants to find out.
Even though the NFL declined to participate in the film, it examines all angles of the problem, and questions whether the game can actually ever change for the benefit of the players. What will happen when the next generation of players is held back by parents who fear for their sons' well-being? For the millions and millions of football fans across the country, this is essential viewing, as we all think about the price paid to entertain us on Sunday afternoons.
Welcome to the Christmas edition of YAWYR. Well we are in the thick of it, it would seem!
I am nowhere close to being done. Just. Am. Not. What is odd about this is that usually by now I am serenely kicked back watching my fellow humans scurry. Well, this year I am right there with you all. The TC asked quite gently last night if I would like to go into New York on Saturday for some festive walkabout. I looked at him with what I am sure were equal measures of disbelief, panic, and horror. Speaking of the TC he is on his way to The Homeland on Sunday to celebrate with the Fam. Please wish him a safe journey. Thank you. By now, I hope that all who have the ability have been playing with Hoopla, our fabulous new digital service. If not, please do. It really is wonderful. When you are in a dark closet, hiding from your loved ones with only your cell phone for company while the world outside the closet circles the drain, you could be watching a movie! See? We care! Next week we will be closed on Tuesday and, of course Wednesday, with regular hours resuming on Thursday so this is the last YAWYR for 2013 so we wish you all the most wonderful in 2014. This week we have a hyperbole, some terrorism, brownies, and the British government. Oh! And a playlist from DJ Jazzy Patty McC!
Let us begin!
Mrs. Elisabeth of the CL is having some serious fun! "I am delighting in Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things that Happened. Allie Brosh is the creator of the blog from which the book gets its title. Hyperbole And a Half is one of the funniest blogs on the internet. The combination of Brosh's very adult musings and very childish drawings is enthralling, and I have laughed so hard I cried while reading her work more than once. The stories in the book range from classic material from the blog (God of Cake and Simple Dog) and new material that was created just for publication. Mixed in with the laughs is a frank depiction of Brosh's battle with depression. I can't recommend this book enough. It makes a great Christmas present, and I like it a lot. The ALOT, btw, is one of Brosh's greatest creations. "
Barbara M. is tucking into one of my favorites of the year." I'm more than half way through The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt and although I wasn't thoroughly convinced in the beginning that it was going to be good, at this point I cannot put it down. It is the story of a hapless young man, Theo, whose mother dies in an attack on the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is taken in by a friend's family and for a while lives with them on the Upper East Side before being sent to Las Vegas to live with his father, a man who abandoned him and his mother several years earlier. Though Theo seems to have lost everything, he has one reminder of his mother and that terrible day at the museum – a small painting of a goldfinch. While the story is engrossing, what makes this book a good read is the beautiful writing and the wonderfully interesting characters. My only criticism is that it is sometimes too wordy."
Pat T. is taking a break with Survival Lessons by Alice Hoffman. "This is the perfect book for this time of year; you can read it in one sitting, and it is a book that keeps on giving! You will want to read it many times, since Hoffman's prose is powerful offering the reader words of wisdom, a sprinkling of humor, as well as a brownie recipe and knitting instructions. Alice Hoffman's survival lessons are about her cancer diagnosis and treatment, but it applies to any trauma or life altering experience: 'our lives are made up of equal parts sorrow and joy, and it is impossible to have one without the other. This is what makes us human. This is why our world is so precious'. Take 30 minutes from the rush of holiday activities, sip a cup of tea and enjoy this gem of a book. It might be your life raft!"
Abby is someone who is indeed enjoying Hoopla. "For my second Hoopla selection, I am listening to The Rook by Daniel O'Malley. I'm currently 1/3 of the way in and really enjoying this supernatural semi-thriller. Myfanwy (rhymes with Tiffany. Yes, it's Welsh) Thomas is a woman with powers so extraordinary that as a young girl she is acquired by a super-secret branch of the British government known as The Chequy. Raised alongside other supernaturally gifted children, she grows up reluctant to utilize her skills and is disinclined towards field work. Luckily her passive nature sees her placed in an position within The Chequy where she proves herself a remarkably able administrator. When told by a fortune teller that she will soon have her memory erased, Myfanwy creates a trail for her amnesiac self to follow to figure out who in the organization has targeted her. O'Malley has created a wonderful character in Myfanwy in a story filled with vibrant and clever dialogue. This one has me smiling a lot."
DJ Jazzy Patty Mc. brings us the following thoughts. "With Christmas bearing down on so many of us, this week's playlist is a nod (and maybe a wink) to consumerism. If Christmas just gets you down, feel free to try Festivus. For those of you unfamiliar with the holiday, it involves the airing of grievances, an aluminum pole, feats of strength and an anti-consumerist stance. It's a Festivus for the rest of us!"
Here is what you can find on the shelves that is new next week. Come in and visit us, or put your items on hold from home! We will let you know when they are ready for you to pick up!
Here is what you can find new to the shelves in the upcoming days.
In addition to our Children's Library's Holiday Gift Giving Guide, below you will find a list of great holiday picks for the teens and adults in your life. And these non-book items make great gifts as well for the people on your list:
Greetings! I trust everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving and that the carcass from The Bird is a distant memory. Or at the very least, soup. This year we actually went the traditional roasted route which thrilled the TC beyond reason. I think that he was really afraid of the frying. Which, I can sort of understand. But really? What is a holiday without that that impending sense of panic that something is about to go really truly drastically spectacularly wrong? Usually this feeling is supplied by your family members, but, since in the case of Cousin's Thanksgiving, we really like each other, we need the fryer to give us that particular thrill. The words from the SoNo Loft this week are "Santa ♥ 's you" A nice message and the first time we have seen color used! Very festive! And now it's time for Sweet Ann Words of Wisdom! "My words of wisdom for this week are for everyone to take a moment in this holiday rush to tell someone via phone, e-mail, text or in person that you are glad he or she is in your life and that they make your heart a little bigger. I like to say they make my heart soar." This week we have a little something, Nazis, a madam, some illness, consequences, New Zealand and of course Paris.
Let us begin!

Hello, Readers!
Hi, Bookies:
I'm Jenny Brown, the associate copy editor at Real Simple and your discussion leader for this month. My job entails thinking about words and punctuation and sentence structure and reading Real Simple all day—it's a pretty great gig for a grammar lover like me.
I'm also a fiction fanatic, and The Awakening has been on my reading list for about five years. It's a must-read for anyone with even a minor interest in feminism, since it was such a groundbreaking work about female independence. I wonder if I will support Edna Pontellier's actions or condemn them: Is she brave or selfish? Is she admirably freeing herself from the shackles of marriage or just cruelly abandoning people who love her? I can't wait to explore these questions with you all!
It's a slim volume, so we'll be able to keep the schedule to three weeks; that way, we won't have to think about anything but food on Thanksgiving weekend. Let's break it down into 13 (short) chapters a week for three weeks.
November 2: Chapters 1 to 13
November 9: Chapters 14 to 26
November 16: Chapters 27 to 39
That's all for now! Come back next Friday for the first segment of our discussion.

I don't see any leaves which resemble Bedstraw and I don't see any leaves which I would call fern-like. There is a Bedstraw which is listed in several of my books which has acute white petals. It is Stiff Marsh Bedstraw (Galium obtusum. This is a plant which grows in very wet soil, possibly even shallow water. It has a whorl of four blunt leaves at each node and the fruit is smooth. It has a fairly wide natural range which appears to include the area where you live.

Dating after 45
I wonder why dating after 45 so often seems more difficult than it was when we were younger. At our age, we have the benefit of more life experiences. We have a better idea not only of what we want, but also what qualities are important in a potential mate. We've learned from past mistakes and, importantly, we're not (completely) driven by hormones. So, what's going on?

Gartner Designates Dialogic as Visionary in Magic Quadrant for SBCs
Gartner Inc., an information technology and advisory company, has designated Dialogic (News - Alert) as a market "Visionary" in the Magic Quadrant for Session Border Controllers (SBCs) for its BorderNet family of SBC solutions.
Officials with Dialogic claimed that service providers look to Dialogic BorderNet SBC solutions as a way to securely connect diverse mobile and fixed networks for seamless and rapid delivery of combined multimedia offerings across their next generation, 4G/LTE, 3G and 2G network domains.
Company officials said that BorderNet SBCs deliver exceptional CAPEX and OPEX (News - Alert) value and provide voice and video connectivity along with advanced security features. The BorderNet 4000 SBC can be deployed in peering and access applications requiring high performance session control and management.
According to company officials, it complements the multimedia video and HD Voice support of the BorderNet 2020 SBC, an integrated SBC-gateway appliance for the rapid deployment of mobile VAS and contact center applications.
"We are honored to be counted among Gartner's Visionaries in the Session Border Controller market," said Kevin Cook (News - Alert), president and CEO of Dialogic, in a statement.
"Service delivery is an important part of our strategy and we have strived to create a high-performing SBC product portfolio. We are successfully helping service providers worldwide address the real world challenges associated with transforming their networks and services to all-IP, and will continue to execute our vision for an SBC that not only excites customers today but will provide them with the technical and operational innovation that's necessary for future success," said Cook.
Earlier in March, Dialogic, a provider of communications technologies that enhance the end-to-end mobile experience, had announced that its bandwidth optimization solutions are helping service providers meet their mobile backhaul challenges.
For service providers, this has resulted in improved customer experience and, in turn, an increase in subscriber base, which is enhancing both short and long-term growth prospects.

1) People Can – November 2011
People Can represents the first stage in new thinking from Timebanking UK about what timebanking is actually for. The document examines the relationship between timebanking and co-production, and introduces the thinking beyond timebanking as a tool for building a new social marketplace.
2) No More Throw Away People - July 2000
Purchase the seminal work by Edgar 'Father Time' Cahn, the founder of time dollars and leading thinker on co-production.

3) Your Money or Your Life – October 2010
Martin Simon, the former Chief Executive of Timebanking UK, examines the many ways that people are rebuilding communities in Your Money or Your Life: Time for Both.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Academy's LL.M. degree and the Executive Master?
There is no difference as regards the final diploma or the number of credits. Both the LL.M and the Executive Master are equivalent to a Master of Advanced Studies in the Swiss university system, and they both consist of 60 ECTS. However, the allocation of credits is works differently on the Executive Master. The Executive Master takes into account that participants in the programme are professionals working in the humanitarian field, wishing to advance their theoretical knowledge of the subject. To accommodate participants' work/study schedules a higher proportion of credits is attributed to the Executive Master thesis (21 credits); meanwhile, the courses are split into shorter modules, which facilitates study in one's own time. By contrast, the LL.M is designed for people who have just completed undergraduate or postgraduate studies and do not have much practical experience in this field. The LL.M is a professionalizing master, meaning it is designed to prepare students to work as professionals in this area of practice. Thus, the LL.M is a full time programme of study, whereas the Executive Master is a part-time degree.
Are there are any additional requirements for those wishing to enrol in the Executive Master?
Applicants wishing to enrol in the Executive Master must be professionals working in a field related to humanitarian law.
Is distance learning / online education allowed?
No. Residence in Geneva during the majority of the Executive Master is required.
Is is possible to start coursework in 2013-2014 and continue in 2014-2015?
As a matter of principle, this is now allowed. However, exceptions may be made in exceptional circumstances. Such a decision rests with the Director of the Executive Master.
What is the Executive Master Programme? What is the final exam like, and how much time do students have to complete the exam?
The coursework of the Executive Master is divided into four modules consisting of 5 courses. Each module finishes with a take home exam that participants have eight weeks to complete.
Is it possible to receive an internship once enrolled in the Executive Master?
No, participants in the Executive Master are practitioners, who do not need to acquire further professional experience.
What about visa requirements for Switzerland?
The Executive Master only has 9 hours of coursework per week, so it is very difficult to obtain a student visa (which is usually accorded for full-time study). The L Permit, as an alternative, is also very difficult to obtain. For more information on permits see the Swiss Foreign Office
website (www.eda.admin.ch).
How much is tuition for the Executive Master and the LL.M?
Tuition (frais d'ecolage) for the two programmes is the same: 15'000 CHF. Discounts are available for the Executive Master; please check the Academy's website for more information.
Can applicants who missed the deadline for the LL.M apply for the Executive Master instead?
The Executive Master is designed for professionals, and so only applicants with the required background and preparation will be considered.

Purr-fect Companions Cat Sanctuary
Facts about Friendly
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
My name is Friendly!
Friendly's Info...
I am already neutered.
Friendly was surrendered to the Shelter when his owner went into a nursing home. He is a very large calm cat and enjoys living large on comfy pillows. The epitome of a Tuxedo cat, Friendly is very loving and intelligent. He would appreciate being in a home again where he could llisten to someone talk to him. As with all our adoptable cats, he is neutered and has all his shots.
About Purr-fect Companions Cat Sanctuary
About Our Shelter...
History of Purr-fect Companions SanctuaryIn 2004, a call for help went out from an animal shelter in Cleveland, Ohio.
One person who answered the call is now the founder and Executive Director of Purrfect Companions Sanctuary. The owner of the previous shelter had taken in a very large number of cats from 2 separate hoarder homes in another county.
The cats had come from deplorable conditions and needed to be vaccinated, spayed or neutered. Some had been put in windowless rooms with only artificial light by day or in cages in a warehouse, sometimes two to a cage. They remained this way for well over a year.
When in 2006 the owner of that original shelter announced that her shelter would be closing and the city would take the cats, most likely to euthanize them, our founder and director rolled up her sleeves and went to work. A facility to comfortably house the cats was purchased which accommodated the needs of all the animals. In 2007 the cats moved into their new quarters at Purr-fect Companions Sanctuary.
Today a few of these same cats live with their many new friends who are also in need of their own "forever homes". Either they live at the 'home' shelter which was designed for their comfort or they are fostered by very generous families who open their doors for these cats.
They are friendly, litter box trained, socialized and ready to move into your lap! They are ready to live the life they were always meant to live.

McDavid HEX Shooter Arm Sleeve
Very good product
My son likes the thicker padding at the elbow. He also says it's much more comfortable than other "name brand" padded sleeves.

Have not used yet
I originally ordered the heavier duty version of these elbow sleeves. Unfortunately they were no longer available so I had to resort to the above featured items. I have not utilized the new product as of yet but I'm sure that date will work for my meeds. they just look flimsy here then the original product I really wanted.
