Just when you thought your friends were oversharing on Facebook and Twitter, someone else comes along and puts them to shame in the TMI department.
Exhibit A: New mom, Ruth Iorio.
In case you haven't heard, Ruth decided to liveblog her home birth, giving her followers (and the world) a play-by-play of her birthing experience. As totally grossed out as I am by the Facebook photos of Ruth's bloody bathtub and details about how her "asshole aches," I find myself intrigued, and unable to look away … kind of like a bad car accident that you can't stop staring at. Meanwhile, Amelia thinks it's all awesome and educational and, yeah, sure, a bit scary. Keep reading »

At A3DH we believe that everyone should hear music as the artist intended.
We believe that the effort musicians put into making music should be matched by our efforts to reproduce it. Whilst artists are driven to master their instruments, we are driven to master physics, mathematics and electronics; we are both in pursuit of the same thing – perfection.
We further believe passionately that we must make our technology as accessible as music itself. It must be simple to set up and use. It must offer exceptional value and be well made so that value may be enjoyed over the years.
We have spent the past twenty years, tens of thousands of hours, and millions of dollars making real the promise of accurate sound reproduction. That 'promise' was revealed to Joe Hayes when he revisited and reworked the physics of sound reproduction using the latest mathematical techniques combined with his extensive knowledge of electronics and psycho-acoustics. His insights provided new ways of thinking about and dealing with: noise, sounds' temporal and energy content, and the way we, as humans, experience sound. Taking a Space-Time approach, re- imagining the loudspeaker in the process, has enabled us to create 'Acoustic Holograms' with all the detail and depth that that term implies.
The A3DH 'Emergence' range is the first product of our passion and beliefs – and twenty year investment. You can now experience all that – and your favourite music like never before – for the much smaller investment of $995 AUD inc GST.

Once again, FedEx has been entrusted to transport giant pandas internationally, this time from the U.S. to China. On February 4, the "FedEx Panda Express" – a custom-decaled 777F aircraft – will take flight from Washington, D.C. with two giant pandas destined for their new homes in China.
Tai Shan, a 4-and-a-half-year-old male panda, and Mei Lan, a 3-year-old female panda, were both born in the U.S. and will depart for China as part of broader giant panda conservation programs designed to help save this endangered species.

assigned task
Sorry, but i can't finf out how to assign tasks
All responses
Hi Sergey,
Please right click on the project you'd like to share, and choose "Share Project" then any task will have the options to assign the task.
Ah, I was trying to figure that out. This seems like a great feature. Questions - if I share a project with someone but don't share any tasks, do they:
1. get a notification I've shared the project
2. can they see tasks in the project I have not shared with them?
3. do they have to be a premium user to interact with my projects and tasks?
1. Yes they will.
2. Yes they should see anything within that Project, but will not be notified of each change, unless added to that task.
3. No they do not.
Thanks Brendon. Assigning tasks is a REALLY useful new feature that greatly increases the value of Todoist to me (and will result in lots of new users for you!). I'm looking forward to seeing how collaboration continues to evolve in Todoist.
If a premium user adds a file to a task that is shared with a free user, will they be able to access the file?
Yes they will be able too.
I've got a little problem. I'd shared the project, then i've assigned the task. And now the assigned person can make changes to all the tasks within the project. Can i put some restrictions?
Anyhow, that update is really great
Hello Sergey.
Yes, any person you invite to a project will have full access to the contents of this project so it's advised to only share project with people that you know won't cause any damage to it.
The assignment feature is an addition to sharing to keep track of who's responsible for what task.
Best regards,
is there a possibility to assign more than one person within the people ı share the project?
Hello Fethi,
It's not possible to make multiple people responsible for one task, but you could break down a task into sub-tasks and assign a different person to a different sub-task.
Best regards,
Some tasks, e.g., "Carry Table", require more than one person.
Agree that some tasks require more than one person. For example, meeting notice or request members to hand over they report.
Agreed, This is definitely a limitation, quite important to be able to assign tasks to multiple people, and also be able to include yourself as part of the team. For instance I want 3 of 6 of the crew to wash the boat... or wax my car LOL.
Is that for the business version as well? or is that product different?
Hi Joseph,
Premium and Business have the same way of assigning tasks.
Too Bad.
Without any controls, this is not a worthy business product.
great personal todo lister
Can I assign tasks without sharing the project . This would assist myself in tracking work submitted to employees .
Hi Victor,
No, unfortunately you can't assign a task without a shared project yet.

HoC Speaker Andrew Scheer, Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney and Senate Speaker Noel Kinsella lay a wreath during a Veterans' Week ceremony on Parliament Hill Nov. 5, 2012.

Critics argue the benchmark for access to the Last Post Fund - a 103-year-old, $10.2 million federal program for dignified funerals and burials of former soldiers fallen on hard times - is so restrictive that two-thirds of applicants are turned away.
In 2011-12, the fund received 3,125 applications for assistance and only approved 1,326.
Fund executive director Jean-Pierre Goyer said Monday most applicants either failed the means test – the cut-off is $12,015 annual income – or were modern day vets turned away based on stricter criteria set for them by the feds.
He estimated $5 million a year would be enough to meet current needs, including opening up the program to more soldiers who served after the Korean War.
"When is a veteran a veteran? They served our country, they go where the country wants them to go and then we deny many of them a dignified burial," Goyer said.
"It's not the right thing to do, I don't think so. Not in a country like ours."
He also said the $3,600 cap to cover funeral and burial expenses falls far short of the actual cost, leaving funeral directors across Canada helping with the tab.
"Our Last Post Fund counsellors have to wheel-and-deal with them on a regular basis, almost asking for charity," he said, adding in his experience funeral directors - who were in Ottawa last month to lobby the government to boost funding to the program - are always willing to help.
Liberal veterans affairs critic Sean Casey called the current funding "stingy and cheap and hard-hearted," and asked the feds Monday to create a task force to look into fixing the fund.
Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney shot down Casey's proposal as more unnecessary bureaucracy and jabbed the Liberals for halving the means test in 1995 from $24,034 to the current level.
"They're the ones who cut this program," he said. "We've maintained the benefits."
He added the concerns with the Last Post Fund were on his radar and the government was looking at ways to improve it, but said he was in no position to confirm any changes or offer any further details on the department's plans.

Hi all - My future home is being built. My builder asked us to approve the recessed lighting before wiring it. Knowing nothing about lighting, we went over to the house and observed the 6" cans he positioned throughout the first floor. I took pictures and went home to learn and analyze. I read everything I could on this site (which has been so helpful!). My gut and calculations told me there wasn't enough light, and I wanted smaller cans, but I didn't feel I had the expertise to really say what exactly should be done. And the cans were already purchased (the builder didn't check what size I wanted.) My fiance wasn't concerned and said he was sure the lighting was fine because the electrician must know what he was doing.
I decided to run the plan by an architect I know. He took a look and said the lighting plan looked fine, 6" cans were fine, and we should add a fixture in the dining room and could do a lamp in the living room if we wanted. I was already late for the deadline to tell the builder what to do, and based on the advice I got I told the builder to go ahead with the existing plan. I still feel uncomfortable because the advice doesn't match what I learned. I went to a couple lighting stores and they told me 6" isn't used much in residential and looks dated. And they had a hard time telling me whether the amount of light was enough without knowing more about exactly what my builder put in. They said the light spread of each light should not leave gaps. I looked again at the guideline for placing lights 6-8' apart (for non-kitchen rooms) and did some math/analysis and realized our lights are 10.5' apart in the living room, 10.5'/6.5' apart in the dining room and 6.5' apart in the kitchen. I asked the architect about this and he said he usually places lights 6' apart but figured we'd add floor lamps and table lamps in the living room. (We weren't planning that; maybe just a floor lamp if necessary.) I can't just add more cans because my builder wired the whole thing up right after I gave him the go ahead. In fact I'm pretty sure I'd have to shell out the entire cost of the recessed lighting all over again because if we add more cans then everything has to be repositioned & rewired so they're evenly spaced. And if I'm doing that I might as well go with the 5" cans I wanted and sell the 6" cans on ebay. It's like we'd be starting from scratch. At $125 per recessed light, that's a couple thousand dollars EXTRA (beyond the cost we already paid for the existing lights). Can anyone give me advice as to whether I really don't have enough light? I'm faced with deciding whether it's worth paying potentially another $2k to fix this. On the one hand there's the guideline of 6-8' (and 4' in kitchen?). But if there's a 6' spread/beam (?) then can't lights be 10' apart and the beams will overlap so it's ok? I'm so confused! The details:
Thanks so much for your input; I really appreciate it. I'm really stressed out about this. I hate to pay another $2k but I also know once the ceiling goes up we're really stuck. The plan attached below shows red circles for recessed lights and blue circles for pendants and a fixture. |
Follow-Up Postings:
At first glance, the lighting would suffice (assuming ~ 600 - 700 lumens per can and that the center fixture provides most of the light) for the dining area. The living room may need an additional table/ floor lamp or two. The kitchen may be a little under-lit if the cans are considered alone. $125 per can may be the going cost depending on where you are located, which is one reason for people to substitute other lighting forms when the number of cans grows. If the ceiling is not up yet, adding more cans is not a problem - just a matter of tacking more cans in place and more 14/2 romex. The price differential between 5" to 6" cans is negligible. Lighting stores would love to sell you 4" or smaller recessed lights as the pricing increases as the size goes down. |

can such an abundant material of such a costly phenotype be undigestible by the individual for whom it is intended, that is, the infant?
What Are Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs), and What Health Benefit Do They Provide the Infant?
Glycobiology2 is "disastrously, catastrophically complex," German said. According to German, the number of possible glycans, or oligosaccharides, in a biological system is in the billions, based on the number of ways that sugars (the basic structural units of glycans) and linkages (the bonds between sugars) can be combined. This makes sense given that oligosaccharides on cell surfaces are the basis of a recognition system across all life forms. Carlito Lebrilla developed a methodology for analyzing glycan complexity in human milk, based on innovative separation technologies and very high-efficiency, high-accuracy mass spectrometry (Ninonuevo et al., 2006). His research team has constructed an annotated database of the nearly 200 highly variable structural compositions of HMO (Wu et al., 2010, 2011).
David Mills was among the first to address the question, What do HMOs do? He hypothesized that HMOs serve as a food source for the infant microbiome. However when he and his colleagues tested bacterial growth on HMO as a sole food source, none but Bifidobacterium infantis grew (Ward et al., 2007). "Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised," German said, given that B. infantis is a dominant member of the breast-fed-infant microbiome. Moreover, Mills and his group have discovered that only very specific strains of B. infantis grow on HMO medium. Even bacteria that grow very well on a variety of other sugar media are unable to grow on HMO medium (Marcobal et al., 2010; Ward et al., 2006). (The only other genus that appears to be able to grow on HMO medium is Bacteroides. However, as both German and, later during the question-and-answer period, Mills explained, B. infantis readily outcompetes Bacteroides when the two are grown together.) "What we are discovering about this remarkable interaction between milk oligosaccharides and this particular bacterium is remarkable," German said. "Mothers are literally recruiting another life form to babysit their babies and using the oligosaccharides to direct the microbiome."
How does the system work? For example, if oligosaccharides are serving as a food source for B. infantis, which oligosaccharides are being consumed? Mills and his group have discovered that unlike other bifidobacteria, B. infantis selectively cleaves and eliminates sialic acid–containing
2 Glycobiology is the study of the structure, biosynthesis, and biology of glycans, also called oligosaccharides (i.e., sugar chains).

The Hematology/Medical Oncology Fellowship Training Program of the New York University School of Medicine is an ACGME-accredited combined three-year training program supported by two T32 grants for training in hematology and oncology. The NYU curriculum is designed to provide thorough exposure to the clinical practice of hematology and medical oncology while providing an intensive educational content.
The Division of Oncology is a major component of the Perlmutter Cancer Center. Our fellows benefit from the role the Division play in the administration, clinical research and patient care of the Perlmutter Cancer Center.
The goals and objectives for the Hematology/Medical Oncology Fellowship Training Program are:
The Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology works to provide our fellows with an outstanding education in hematological and solid tumors. They are exposed to a wide spectrum of medical cases, patients and technologies through the combined yet distinct clinical resources of the NYU Medical Center, including Tisch Hospital, Bellevue Hospital Center, Veterans Affairs Hospital and the Hospital for Joint Diseases.
In order to enhance the fellows training and provide a greater mix of clinical consultation, and expand faculty resources, the fellows have an elective of Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplant training at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
The goal of the first year of training program is to provide a creative clinical environment for the fellows to develop skills and experience in the comprehensive care of cancer patients and in the diagnosis and management of hematologic diseases. The fellows are assigned to both inpatient and out patient clinical rotations.
In the second year of the training program, the fellows will continue on clinical rotations with increased level of responsibilities. Having successfully completed the first year they will supervise house staff and junior fellows in performing procedures such as bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, administration of intrathecal chemotherapy and initial evaluation of patients. They will supervise patients in the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) and communicate with the Principal Investigators. They will have on-going ambulatory clinic experience. They will have the opportunity to meet with different scientific investigators to pick a mentor and develop a research project. They will be able to attend clinical selectives in specific sub-divisions of Medical Oncology and will present cases at multidisciplinary tumor boards.
The third year of the training program is devoted primarily to research. The fellows will continue in their continuity clinics. They will serve as a clinical resource for the junior fellows to discuss patients during the evaluation process prior to presentation to the Attending physician and to continue to move toward independent clinical decision making. All fellows are expected to give scholarly presentations at internal and national meetings. For promising research candidates, an additional fourth year of laboratory training may be provided. The fellows may also pursue by pre-arrangement elective periods in Palliative Care and other areas of Oncology.

Although their styles are different: Victoria's reminiscent of Salvador Dali and Zoe's often compared to Henry Matisse or Pablo Picasso, they are both epically talented and thus highly valued in the art world. Both sisters began drawing when they were only one year old. [Read more…]

Being my birthday, some of my friends at work took me out to lunch at one of my favorite burger places in the area, the Chuckbox, down on the Arizona State University campus. If you've never been to the Chuckbox, it's a campus institution.
There is nothing fancy about the Chuckbox. It's dark, grimy, and wonderful. They do burgers, chicken sandwiches, and hotdogs, although I've never ordered anything there but a burger. When you walk in, you are immediately in the ordering line where you specify what you want from an overhead menu board. Burgers come in three sizes, and are grilled on a charcoal grill right in front of your eyes (and nose). The aroma of freshly grilled burgers alone is worth the trip. When you order your burger, you are asked if you want cheese, and if so, what type. Today I went with swiss, and a side of fries. At any time, there may be two dozen burgers and rolls cooking on the grill, so the Chuckbox has come up with a method for marking which burgers are to get which types of cheeses, using toothpicks. I haven't had a chance to figure out the code yet, but there seems to be some combination of the number of pics, whether they are straight or broken, and the color tassel on the end.
Once you've gotten your burger, your next stop is the condiment bar, where you can dress it as you like using a variety of goodies such as the standard ketchup and mustard, steak sauce, hot sauce, mayo, pickles, onions, and jalapeños. Today, I went with mayo (for the burger and the fries), pickles, and onions.
Sit inside if you like, but as I said, the decor doesn't offer much. If it's a nice day out, which it almost always is in Tempe, head outside for the porch seating and the meandering pace of academic life as students filter by on their way here and there.
My burger was cooked to a perfect medium and had nice grill marks and a great charcoal flavor that was strong, but not overpowering. If you are looking for good burgers in the Phoenix area, it's hard to go wrong at the Chuckbox.

OMG! I'm usually a neutral only girl but I received this as an extra and tried it out using a very soft fluff brush for application. That way I'd get the sheerest wash, because this stuff is AQUA and shimmery. Used it on the outer 2/3 of my eyes, blending a pale nude from the inner 3rd out and putting a slightly dark line on the outter V of my lashes and it is so pretty! Plus this stuff is DIRT CHEAP - would definitely purchase again. The only down side is the glue on CG e/s is so stubborn so it takes some effort to depot for my TM planner, but well worth it.
I love this color and texture, so I bought 2! The packaging on these Cover Girl shadows is cute, but they do no good, because they always break! So, aside from that, I love this shadow and everything about it!
This is decent shadow, but is it ever AQUA!
Do not even consider this product unless you want a very shiny, colorful, blatantly green design.
I only used mine a couple of times before I dropped it and it shattered. I'm not going to bother to buy another, as I just used a tiny dab for an accent, anyhow.
Those who like blue-green eyeshadow will love it, though, especially at this price.It applies smoothly and wears well.
this e/s is very pigmented, staying power is long, the color is fantastic (emerald green, shimmering and kind of metallic).
I really love this product.
This color is WOW! I wasn't expecting it to look so great. I wanted to try a torquoise color without buying something too expesive and this was way worth the 3 bucks. I loved the shimmer which makes it very wearable. Also, it goes on quite sheer at first which can be worn everyday, but layered wet it really brightens the eye. Very mermaid-looking. Would highly recommend.
This is a lovely aqua-green color with lots of gold shimmer. I think the gold shimmer can account for it working on alot people. It always reminds me of a mermaids tail :)
For a drugstore e/s, I think this has a pretty nice, soft texture. Its soft, but not too powdery. The pigment is good, but it doesnt have the best saying power when dry. When its wet, it stays on just as well as any MAC e/s. Good color to have for $3. continued >>
After reading the reviews here, I thought I'd give this color a try. I thought it went on pretty unsmooth-- as do most Cover Girl eyeshadows (as I've noticed).
I gave it 3 stars because although I didn't care for the quality of the product, it still IS a pretty color. It just doesn't look right on me. My eyes are a bluish-gray (dark) and it just blended with my eye color.
I'll be taking it back to the store tomorrow.
I really like this color, so it's a shame I can't wear it. About 30 minutes after applying it as eyeliner, my eyes started itching, felt super dry and turned REALLY red. So red that my green eyes looked a freaky shade of aqua. This is really strange since I have no problem wearing Peach Melba. I won't buy this one again.
Ok, after reading the reviews on MUA, i went out to get this. I have been looking for a very vivid turquoise with a gold shimmer to it. I can't believe how great this shadow is. My sister bought MAC parrot because the MA put parrot on the outer half of the crease and casablanca on the inner half and it looked amazing. I didn't feel like spending $15 cdn for this eyeshadow so I have been looking for an alternative. I was about to buy Loreal's LE e/s in hologram (or whatever its called) but the colour was closer to Mac's Steamy or De Menthe. I bought the CG after reading the reviews and boy was it worth it! Great price! Great colour. I put Mac and the gold casablanca on one eye and CG with a gold on the other eye. I can't tell the difference and neither can my sister! Woo hoo! p.s. i love the money I saved.

It's always nice to see someone come up with secondary uses for items the majority of people discard. Craig Arnold, a designer obsessed with cameras came up with the idea to recycle old camera parts and turn them into jewelry.
Most of the pieces used in the re:vision line come from old school cameras, so they're quite classy. You know in the old days they made stuff robust. The metal ones are polished and look very cool.

On the outside looking in looking out
I can't help but ponder, hmm
What lays within?
Two panes of glass with space in the middle
Is there an answer to this riddle?
What does it hold, what can it foretell?
Is there a future held in its shell?
It holds the present between that glass
It holds all the keys, including the past
The glass seems almost liquid
It seems to be calling me in
An offer to explore the secrets held within
Raising my hand to the fluid glass
Allured to the calling
On the inside looking out looking in
Remarkable wonders before me
Another dimension in another time
A creation of another design
Not at all what I expected
I had it all wrong
It is a sight to behold
Yet something doesn't belong
That something is me
But I was invited
Practically pulled in
What is happening
I don't understand
I think I'd better go I feel closed in
I'll just slip back through…
Hmm, Where did it go?
Searching, Oh my God
Where? Where is it?
The light is fading fast
Dark so dark inside the glass
I was fooled but why
A shadow, who is it?
"I am Deceit, I pulled you in"
"You were trusting "
"This is your sin"
"You are my captive"
"A life between the panes"
""Frozen in time as time goes by"
"The third dimension"
"Another side"
"Not only dark and light"
"There is something in between"
"That glow we feel that guides"
"That hand which is unseen"
Fear filled my heart as I began to realise
I had entered a place where stolen souls hide
Locked inside never to leave
Stored up for what, remains to be seen
Pray God
Deliver me

"I think Dr. Ringstaff, you hit the ground running. We got what we thought we were getting and then some," said Steve Morgan, board member.
Each board member sat down in a one-on-one meeting with Ringstaff. A five-point scale was used to evaluate his role as the director of city schools in seven standards. According to Tom Cloud, board chairman, Ringstaff received an overall 4.85 out of 5.
"It is hard to find a good superintendent. I think they don't want the job because of how difficult it is," said Dawn Robinson, board member. "I appreciate your energy and enthusiasm."
Peggy Pesterfield, board member, added she had nothing but good comments for Ringstaff.
Board member Richard Shaw said he had two goals when he ran for the board. The first involved handling and increasing diversity. The second was to improve relations between the city school board and the City Council.
He said both goals have been met.
Shaw said Ringstaff has deftly made good personnel choices.
"You're not afraid to make the hard decisions," Shaw said.
Cloud explained the scoring as follows: 5 (exceeds expectations); 4 (accomplished/commendable); 3 (proficient/satisfactory); 2 (developing/needs improvement); 1 (not evident/not demonstrated/unsatisfactory).
Ringstaff received all seven scores on the high-end of 4.
- Vision of Learning: 4.83
- Advocating, nurturing and encouraging the school culture and instructional program: 4.79
- Management operations for a safe sufficient working environment: 4.81
- Collaboration with families and community members while understanding and responding to diverse community needs: 4.89
- Integrity, fairness and ethics: 4.89
- Understanding and handling the political, social, legal and cultural context: 4.86
- Cultivating superintendent-board relationships: 4.87
"I believe our scores reflect we are all extremely happy," Cloud said.
Murl Dirksen, board member, congratulated Ringstaff on his transition to and success in a new community.
"I think it is phenomenal you were able to learn the community, learn who the movers and shakers are, while learning about the school," Dirksen said. "I appreciate so much the focus groups where the faculty talk to you about their schools and their concerns. It is pretty amazing what you have been able to put together."
Ringstaff gave praise in kind to the board.
"I can only be successful if my team is successful. We have a great group of individuals," Ringstaff said. "We have made a lot of changes. A lot of people are in different places, and rightfully so. We have great people with great strengths."
Continued Ringstaff, "Our principals and supervisors are amazing. They hit the ground running every day — making me look good ... I can only applaud the work we do every day, and it is a 'We' atmosphere."
He thanked the board for their communication.
"I want to commend this board on our communication back and fourth. We spend a lot of time talking ... and I probably give you more than you want to read at times. I want you to be aware of what is going on," Ringstaff said. "... [With all the changes] it is hard to keep morale where it is and I believe you are doing an excellent job."
Ringstaff's new contract will commence on July 1, 2013 and end on June 30, 2017.

[1223] Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-Related Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oropharynx in African-Americans and Caucasians: A Comparative Study
RD Chernock, Q Zhang, SK El-Mofty, WL Thorstad, JS Lewis. Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO
Background: HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oropharynx is well-documented as a distinct subtype of SCC. Patients with HPV-related SCC have substantially better survival rates than those with HPV-negative tumors. Differences in the incidence of HPV-related SCC between Caucasians and African-Americans have not been well examined. The aim of this study is to explore the frequency of HPV-related SCC of the oropharynx in African-Americans and Caucasians and to evaluate patient outcome in these two groups.
Design: Cases of stage III and IV oropharyngeal SCC were identified from an IRB approved radiotherapy database from 2000 to 2007. All patients received either definitive intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or surgery followed by postoperative IMRT. In situ hybridization (ISH) for high-risk (HR) HPV subtypes and immunohistochemistry for p16, a surrogate marker of HPV-related tumors, were performed.
Results: Of 174 patients, 148 (85%) were Caucasian and 26 (15%) were African-American. There were no differences in sex, age, adjuvant chemotherapy or length of follow-up by race. HPV –ISH and p16 positive SCCs were much more common in Caucasians (63.5% and 83.1% of tumors) than in African-Americans (11.5% and 34.6% of tumors) [p <0.0001]. Caucasians were also more likely to have received postoperative IMRT rather than definitive IMRT compared to African-Americans (p=0.0011). African-Americans also had a higher frequency of T3/T4 tumors (p=0.0322). Disease-free survival was significantly shorter for African-Americans (p=0.0254). In multivariate analysis, treatment type (p=0.0002) and HPV status (p=0.0027), but not race (p=0.9834), were significant factors contributing to disease-free survival.
Conclusions: The frequency of HPV-related SCC of the oropharynx is much higher in Caucasians than in African-Americans. African-Americans presented with higher T-stage tumors and were more likely to receive definitive IMRT. The shorter disease-free survival observed in African-Americans may be due to HPV status and factors related to choice of treatment modality.

"It also gives us a less linear progression for players when they're coming through a second or third time."
Oh thank the GODS. You have no idea how happy I was when I read that. WotLK stayed fun when it came to leveling for a long time because at the very least there were about two completely different routes you could take through the continent, and unending similar ones. If leveling alts wasn't your thing, you could always take your 80 back and grind out the zones you never did for cashmonies. People hated leveling alts in Cata because of the repetition that came with having only ever one choice in zone, that being hyjal and vashj. Many people that were saving hyjal for later ended up having to do it to get firelands content in the end.
This makes me an incredibly happy panda.

Atlanta Business Chronicle - April, 2014Business Aviation Insider-2014NBAA & GBAA Community Service Project2012 - Fain Elementary Community Service a Priority for Georgia Business Aviators For members of the Georgia Business Aviation Association (GBAA) and The Home Depot Aviation Department, being a good neighbor is more than just a one-time donation or a single community service event. Six years after they teamed up during an NBAA annual convention in Atlanta with nearly 500 NBAA members, staff and students to build an aviation- themed playground at Margaret Fain Elementary School just minutes from Fulton County-Brown Field airport (FTY), GBAA members and Home Depot staff are still involved with Fain school projects, playground maintenance and other service activities. "We've kind of adopted the school," said Gerry Ferriss, Community Outreach Committee Chairman for the GBAA and Lead Inspector for The Home Depot Aviation Team, who added that most of the 35 people in the department have been involved at one time or another with community service efforts at the school. In addition to helping build, maintain and annually refresh the playground along with GBAA members, Home Depot Aviation staff have supplied Fain Elementary—which is in a "challenged" neighborhood, according to Ferriss—with trees and decorations for the winter holidays, gift baskets for giveaways at school PTA meetings, monetary donations and more. "We've even had some kids out to the hangar to talk about careers in aviation," said Ferriss, whose company has their five aircraft based at FTY. Ferriss credits The Home Depot senior director aviation Bill McBride with the leadership to get his department involved in being a good community partner, and as well as being the driving force for the initial playground build in 2007. Dave Small, flight operations administrator at Cox Flight Operations and chairman of GBAA, said that his association is committed to being service-oriented and a good neighbor in the greater Atlanta area. "It's a fact that we are here in the community, and we want people to know about all the good things that go on at airports, too," said Small. GBAA annually raises funds for scholarships through its golf tournament, works with the Girl and Boy Scouts, and members are involved with a variety of service projects, including the Fain elementary playground. According to Small, GBAA members and Home Depot aviation staff most recently spread two tractor-trailer loads of special playground mulch (that they also helped pay for) at the Fain playground over the course of two days. "We try and replenish the mulch at least once a year," said Small. The Home Depot employees also paint, pressure wash and generally clean up the playground on a regular basis as well, according to Ferriss. Another recreation and play area was also installed by NBAA, GBAA and The Home Depot volunteers on the grounds of Fulton County airport during the 2007 build, where there is a gazebo, picnic tables and some aviation-themed play equipment. NBAA southeast regional representative Harry Houckes complimented GBAA and The Home Depot on the "range of value they provide to not just the local business aviation community, but to the Atlanta area and state of Georgia as well." A recent letter posted on the wall in The Home Depot's hangar, to Bill McBride and signed by Fain Elementary Principal Mesha Greene, says it all: "I am greatly appreciative of your dedication and commitment to our school through our partnership."

One of Oliver Kay's alleged sources has emerged to stand by his claims about the Qatari Dream Football League:
The story in this mornings Times, 'partly' came from me and colleagues. Stop attacking the journalist that wrote a factual story.
— Rob Beal (@robbealparis) March 13, 2013
Rob Beal is apparently the Head of Football Media Management European Sports Media group in Paris. I have no idea what that is except it has 29 employees. His job description on Viadeo (like LinkedIn) includes mention of "…interests and colleagues in the Middle East. I deal daily with the world major media groups."
For the record, this is all very confusing. But the pat assumption that the public may not be buying this is somehow a reflection on Oliver Kay is a tad patronizing. It's certainly possible the story is correct, and it's certainly possible Kay was as thorough as he could possibly be and was still misled for reasons as yet unknown. Until this story is confirmed, we can't know one way or the other. Some papers are refusing to touch it, but the wagons continue to circle on Twitter, and Kay is on the record vigourously denying he was careless in any way in his reportage.
Thanks to Ursos Arctos for sending this my way…
MAJOR UPDATE: So this is kind of a big deal. I've done some web investigating and it seems that this Rob Beal person may have a bit of am, erm, history. I typed in his name and 'Sheffield Wednesday' auto attached on google. So I went back to the above Rob Beal's Viadeo page and under hobbies and—yep—it includes Sheffield Wednesday.
His name popped up on a comment on 200% post of all things. Apparently he was involved with Sheffield Wednesday with something called Club 9. I googled his name and Sheffield and <> came up after a little digging, with this snippet:
We can confirm that the Rob Beal of Global Security is our Rob Beal and that he has never worked in security.
Kind regrads
So I googled Rob Beal and Global Security and found this and this.
If you read the links, his company purports to be operating out of Paris, just like this Beal's supposed company ESM, and it's been accused of various forms of alleged fraud. Moreover, another forum link puts the actual location of this supposedly Parisian security firm in…Sheffield. Hmmmmm.
My first instinct was to assume Rob Beal was just making up stuff on Twitter about his links to Oliver Kay. But then I checked his 'followers' list. And Oliver Kay, Dan Roan, and other premier journalists are on it. So…what the hell is going on here?
UPDATE #2: Since publishing this post, I've been inundated with information offered about Rob Beal, none of it very flattering. He has approached at least one other news organizations with story information before. He was referred to as one journalist as a "scammer." He has been involved in several attempts to purchase clubs (I'm still waiting on some more information on this front).
And the website Ursos lists below is NOT the same organization Beal purports to be a part of. It has been repeatedly confirmed to me Beal is based in Sheffield. We shouldn't jump to conclusions, but this is a man with a history of attempting to work with journalists to share information.

6] Referring to the pattern, place face on the right side of the body front. It will overlap the bandana. Pin in place. Using 3 strands of color A (copper), blanket stitch the sides and jaw of the face to the body.
7] Using the pattern as a guide, pin nose to the snout. Using 2 strands of color D (black), use a running stitch to attach the nose to the snout.
Love your site, so many lovely ideas and so good of you to share.
I want to try this pattern but with different fabrics and using a house brick as a weight. Piccies when I have done!
Also added your site to my list of links.
Keep up the good work :-)
Hi there,
I would love to make the puppy dog doorstop, but I cannot download the patternfrom the internet. It says the file is damaged. Can you please place the file on the internet again as I would love to make this door stop.
Thank you and kind regards,

Yoggie Makes USB Stick Firewall Open Source
Israeli security firm Yoggie has released its Linux-based USB Stick Firewall Gatekeeper product in an Open Source version. The open firewall products also include a developer kit.
Yoggie's products are hardware firewalls in the form of USB sticks that include complete Linux processors. The small devices contain an XScale PXA270 processor from Intel along with a 128-Mbyte Flash and 128-Mbyte SDRAM. They serve as protection for Windows and Mac OS X systems.
The company now makes the technology available for developers. The Open Firewall Pico (for a single computer's USB port) and Open Firewall SOHO (for two Ethernet ports) allow access to the firewall's Linux via SSH. Developers can execute commands, upload data and install Debian packages on the device. Yoggie provides an SDK and a developer's website that includes download instructions.
Yoggie hadn't revealed much about licensing for its open source offering, even in their developer forum. A glance at the SDK shows a Linux system with a lot of GPL software. In fact, the newest word from Yoggie is that the open code is indeed GPL licensed.
Yoggie offers a three-month reduced price for their devices. Open Firewall Pico goes for about $50, while the SOHO variant is priced at $80.
In July 2008, Linux Magazine's Jörg Fritsch wrote an article on Yoggie's related Gatekeeper Pico
1.3.8 product. Earlier, in testing the product, he had reported a security
flaw to Yoggie, details of which he included in a May article. Yoggie quickly
responded with a 1.3.9 update to Gatekeeper Pico.

Helping me be fluent in two languages is one of the greatest gifts that my mother ever gave me. After we moved to the U.S. from Mexico, she kept speaking to me only in Spanish.
Latino youth who can carry on a conversation in English: | Latino youth who can read and write in Spanish: | Latino youth who use "Spanglish" most of the time (a mix of Spanish and English when speaking with family and friends) | |
Born outside the U.S. | 48% | 90% | 22% |
Second generation (born in the U.S.) | 98% | 68% | 26% |
Third generation (born in the U.S.) | 97% | 26% | 20% |
- Whether you come from an immigrant family or are learning another language, speaking more than one language can benefit you in many ways:
- It's good for your brain: Research studies have found that using two languages on a regular basis can delay Alzheimer's disease symptoms. Individuals who are bilingual and have Alzheimer's can continue functioning with the disease for longer. Research has also found that the brain processes of people who are bilingual are different: their mental development is enhanced and it allows them to be better at multitasking and focusing on important information while ignoring less important information.
- Advantages in school: Being bilingual provides flexibility in thinking, improved problem-solving skills and better listening perception. Other learning benefits include early reading, ease in understanding and applying grammar and higher scores on the SATs. Knowing more than one language can also give students a head start in meeting language requirements in high school and college.
- Job opportunities: In this global age, being fluent in more than one language opens the doors to opportunities in many careers.
- Travel and culture: Knowing more than one language lets you communicate with people you would otherwise not have the chance to know. Bilingual children can understand and appreciate people from other cultures and countries.
- Start early: Language acquisition comes easier during the early years. After puberty changes in the brain may make it more difficult to have a native-like pronunciation.
- Have a plan and be consistent: Families can teach their children a language in different ways depending on their situation. Whatever works for your family, make sure you are consistent. If you mix languages in the same conversation, young kids may have trouble separating vocabulary and grammar into the appropriate language.
- One parent may consistently speak one language to the child while the other speaks another language.
- Both parents may speak one language at home and a second language is used at school or in the community.
- Parents speak both languages to the child but may change the languages depending on the situation or subject.
- Be a good language model: Introduce rich vocabulary and have different types of conversations but don't make it too complex. Be a good listener.
- Create learning opportunities: Seek out playmates and families to interact with who are bilingual. Provide books, music, games, videos and learning apps in both languages. Visit your local library and ask a librarian for help finding resources.
- Find language classes: Find out if language classes are offered at your child's school or in the community. Support language programs or help create one if none are available in your community.
- Make it fun: Don't make learning a language feel like homework. Incorporate it into your daily life as much as possible and create a positive learning experience.
- Provide encouragement: Praise your child and show how important it is to you that they are bilingual.
- Spanish Playground: Resources for Teaching Spanish to Children
- Bilingual Families Connect
- Multilingual Living
- FreeRice.com: Review vocabulary (in Spanish, English, French, Italian or German) and make a free donation to the World Food Program

Elizabeth Spiers |
Elizabeth Spiers, who is leaving her job as editor-in-chief of Mediabistro on November 1, is working on her first novel. Prior to joining Mediabistro a year ago, Spiers was a contributing writer at New York magazine and, in 2002, she founded the media gossip Web site, Gawker.com. Spiers has also worked as an equity analyst and a dot-com marketing director.
Liz Cox Barrett: On Monday, Gawker (your former blog) reported that one of its posts led to the firing of a Conde Nast researcher — the researcher emailed an internal Conde Nast memo to someone at Gawker, who published the (rather mundane) memo. Wrote Gawker: "We're shocked. We're disappointed. We're a little mad at our ourselves …"
Two days later, Gawker rival fishbowlny (which you co-edit for at least a few more hours) had it's own look-we-got-someone-canned! moment, reporting that it caused the firing of one of its insider sources — a CNN employee — after it blogged about internal CNN matters, including the details of a closed company meeting (to which this employee gave fishbowlny access). Fishbowlny's Rachel Sklar wrote: "I deeply regret this result, and am surprised at it considering that I was never contacted regarding any of my coverage and Thomsen never received any sort of warning regarding the Fishbowl coverage … For the record, there was no malice intended toward CNN, just the desire to report on an influential newsgathering organization."
First, why are these dismissals surprising to anyone? And what does this all mean — other than, possibly, even better jobs for the fired persons? What does it say about blogs and big media companies and the balance of power? Are major media companies afraid of blogs, mystified by blogs, or what?
Elizabeth Spiers: First, I think the two dismissals are apples-and-oranges, though they look superficially similar, and I understand why you'd compare them. In the first case, "leaking" seems to imply intent, and I don't think Krucoff intended that the email he forwarded (an innocuous notice about Conde Nast servers being down) to explain his online absence to be used as a "tip."
The second email Gawker posted from Krucoff, explaining that he got fired, was sent to 11 people, privately (I was one of them). I assume that private emails are implicitly off-the-record because I don't think good reporters have to burn sources to get stories, but everyone has their own policy about that sort of thing.
That said, big companies layer themselves in bureaucratic restrictions primarily for liability reasons, and not allowing employees to use company equipment for personal use is pretty typical of those sort of restrictions. Any personal email Krucoff sends from his Conde Nast machine, regardless of the nature and regardless of whether or not it's going to Gawker, is ostensible grounds for termination. I don't think it's realistic to assume that employees will never do anything personal between the hours of 9 and 5, but I understand why the rules are in place and I can't really blame the companies. I don't think it has anything to do with Conde Nast being "afraid of blogs" (I don't think they are), but understandably, they're not particularly keen to have internal information leaked to the public outlets (mainstream press or blogs) and if they think they've identified the leaker, I understand why they'd fire that person. That said, I think they missed the target in this case. I know Krucoff pretty well and I don't think he's been leaking things to Gawker at all. Ironically, he loved Conde Nast, and was hugely defensive of it to the Gawker staffers after he started working there.
In Rachel's friend's case, he told her about the fishbowl-related posters in the lobby and the security staff there let Rachel in. (She told them exactly what she was there for, and if they had a problem with it, they certainly could have stopped it there.) I don't think Rachel or her friend had any idea what they were doing was off-limits or top secret in any way. That, granted, may be naive, but it was good faith naivete.
