[964] Intercorrelation of Cell Cycle Markers in Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Penis
George J Netto, Antonio L Cubilla, Rajni Sharma, Jessica Hicks, Kristen L Lecksell, Alcides Chaux. Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD; Instituto de Patologia e Investigacion, Asuncion, Paraguay
Background: Previous studies have suggested a link between tumor morphology and expression of specific cell cycle markers in penile squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). However, studies assessing the intercorrelation between molecular pathways involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis are scant. Herein, we evaluated the status and intercorrelation of 5 cell cycle and apoptosis related markers in a large series of penile carcinomas.
Design: One-hundred and twelve penile SCC were used to build 4 tissue microarrays. TMA spots were scanned using the APERIO system and uploaded to the TMAJ platform (http://tmaj.pathology.jhmi.edu). The following cell cycle and apoptosis related markers were evaluated by immunohistochemistry: p16INK4a, p53, MDM2, Cyclin-D1, and Ki-67. For each marker, extent (percent of positive cells) was assessed in each spot, and an average value was calculated per case. Pairwise correlation coefficients (CC) were estimated for all markers. Strength of correlation was interpreted as follows: < 0.3, weak; 0.3–0.5, moderate; > 0.5, strong.
Results: Extent of p16INK4a expression was positively correlated with Ki-67 (CC = 0.39, P < .001) and negatively correlated with p53 (CC = –0.28, P = .003) and cyclin-D1 (CC = –0.48, P < .001). In addition, extent of p53 expression was positively correlated with Ki-67 (CC = 0.22, P = .02) and cyclin-D1 (CC = 0.48, P < .0001). Cyclin-D1 intercorrelation with p16INK4a and p53 was similar accross histologic subtypes of penile cancer. No significant associations were found for all the other pairwise correlations. Tumors with warty and/or basaloid morphology had higher levels of p16INK4a and Ki-67 (both P = .001) compared to keratinizing SCC.
Conclusions: Increased Ki-67 was positively correlated with the expression of both p16INK4a and p53. The negative correlation between p16INK4 and cyclin-D1 is expected. The positive correlation between cyclin-D1 and p53 and the negative correlation between p16INK4a and p53 indicates a crosstalk between pathways during penile carcinogenesis. This crosstalk seems to be independent of tumor morphology.

Continuing the dramatic changes in immigration patterns seen in the 1990s, Hispanics contributed a whopping 55 percent of all non-metro population growth in the U.S. from 2000-2007. One key aspect of this transformation has been a rapid increase in the rural Latino populations of the Midwest and Southeast. William Kandel and his fellow researchers analyze the importance of place for the economic well-being of these immigrants (Rural Sociology, March 2011).
Their article suggests that new rural destinations don't raise an immigrant's likelihood of securing full-time, year-round employment, but they do offer greater chances of home ownership. It's a trade-off: Latino immigrants may be willing to accept lower earnings if they can still build home equity in lower-cost rural areas.
Such immigrant strategies are precariously situated within the restrictive policy environments of new rural destinations, some of which curtail immigrant integration, social mobility, and economic well-being. As immigration policies increasingly fall under the purview of state and/or local level governments, the new pattern of Latino immigration will demand responsible legislative action.

Sometimes I take a few jabs at the Browns, but it's not meant with malice. I usually say something about losing a lot of games and making the playoffs only once since they returned to the league in 1999, and then I throw in a few lazy jokes about The Factory of Sadness and Cleveland tourism. You then either laugh or hate me, but do either action briefly before moving on with other distractions.
In truth, I think that if Trent Richardson can stay healthy, the Browns could significantly improve this season. And that would be a glorious thing to behold, because much like the Bills Mafia (cringes), cruelly Browns fans are among the most dedicated and passionate in the league, and yet they're still also the most tortured.
Yesterday the story of a man who took his Browns obsession to the grave circulated. Scott E. Entsminger died on July 4, and he requested that six Browns players be his pall bearers so that the team could "let him down one last time". Instead, the organization is giving his widow a customized jersey with the number of Entsminger's favorite Browns player (Lou Groza) on the back.
That's serious, burning passion from a fan base that doesn't need to be entertained by a bunch of wiener dogs. But whatever, who cares, because wiener dog races are the best thing a person can watch in their lifetime.
The Browns are trying to upgrade the stadium experience, a good fight that many teams are fighting. They've brought aboard a hired hand who has a fancy new title (Kevin Griffin, the new vice president of fan experience). His ideas range from the basic but effective and needed (modernizing the music at games), to things that go boom (improving player introductions).
And then there's the wiener dog race. Here's Will Burge from ESPN Cleveland explaining the awesomeness that will transpire:
Here is how it works: One game a year the fastest wiener dogs in the Midwest will put their "speed" to the test. The dogs will line up at the 50 yard line and Chomps (the Browns mascot) will wave a green flag. The dogs will then awkwardly run towards the end zone. First dog to the Dawg pound wins.
The idea came from a similar event the Seahawks held in 2011. These wiry little guys can fly…
Eventually, we need a league where animals forever take over all halftime experiences. Monkeys riding dogs already have Denver locked down.

Two excellent blogs (Lifehacker and Boing Boing) I often read posted this video clip of Jason Fried, the co-founder of 37signals. On the surface it's a pretty lame starting point for a blog post, I admit–a guy talks into a camera for six minutes.
However, the video's worth watching because Fried suggests that IM, e-mail and other virtual communication benefit workers more than traditional face-to-face conversations. You've undoubtedly heard people — employees, boss and workplace experts — criticize today's technology-driven workplace for a lack of personal interaction. The problem, these critics explain, is that no one walks the ten feet to knock on someone's office door or even rolls their chair across the aisle to chat with their cube neighbor. Not only are we supposedly lazy, but we don't know how to interact with people anymore. We're used to pressing buttons and typing texts, not making eye contact and holding conversations.
Fair points, and they express a viewpoint that many, many people agree with. However, Fried offers a counterpoint. In his opinion, relying on technology allows people to respond to messages when it is convenient for them. For example, if your colleague has a question but it's not urgent, rather than interrupt you, she can send an e-mail that you can reply to at your convenience. No interrupting your current task or breaking your concentration. Seems logical to me.
So watch Fried's clip and tell us whether or not you agree with him. Have you worked in environments where technology was the preferred and more effective form of communication? Did you work for a company where in-person conversation was the only acceptable way to get things done? Let us know.

Serves 6
Egyptians have been eating Um Ali for hundreds of years. Clifford A. Wright tells the story well:
One day while hunting in the Nile delta, the sultan developed a ravenous appetite and stopped in a small village. The peasants wished to please the sultan, so the best cook of the village, Umm Ali, pulled out a special pan and filled it with the only ingredients she had around: some dried wheat flakes, sultanas [raisins], nuts, and coconut. She covered it with sugar and milk and put it in the village's oven.
Excerpt from A Mediterranean Feast
As simple as can be, this sweet, milky blend of pastry, nuts, raisins, and coconut flakes will be a distinct addition to your Egyptian Global Table.
1 sheet of puff pastry, baked
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup coconut chips (or 1/8 cup shredded coconut)
1/8 cup sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup half and half
Bake the puff pastry according to package directions. It will turn into a giant, greasy pillow. Try not to lay your head on it.
Once cool (and, ideally, stale brittle and dried out), break the pastry up into small pieces and put in a 2 quart casserole.
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Toss on the raisins…
… the slivered almonds (feel free to use pistachios if you'd like)
… and coconut chips (aren't they beautiful?)
Dust with sugar and drizzle on the half and half and milk. Be sure to spread it evenly over the entire casserole.
Bake until the milk is bubbling and the top is browned. This could be anywhere from 15-20 minutes and will depend on how dry your pastry is, how browned it got in the first cooking and so forth. Just keep a keen eye on it.
Simply fill in your details below.

on February 2, 2010Either the Oscars are continuing their long tradition of ignoring comedies this year, or this contest is rigged. I noticed a conspicuous absence on the list of Best Picture nominations that were announced this morning, a film for which I cast my vote months ago, when I stood in a theater with tears in my eyes and started a slow clap as the credits rolled over still photos of a bearded man being fellated by a senior citizen. I am, of course, referring to The Hangover and to the bearded man who carried that movie on his back, Zach Galifianakis. The Hangover is Galifiankis's Citizen Kane, or maybe it's more accurate to say it's his Some Like It Hot; anyway, it's the pure distilled genius of his career to date. But it's not the only 200-proof comedy he's ever produced. On March 7, I'll be rallying outside the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, demanding he receive the golden stauette he's owed. Meantime, here's three shots of the strong stuff, from before Galifianakis became the most mispronounceable leading man since Issur Danielovitch.

National Champagne Day
Like me, you probably didn't think there were any holidays to celebrate in August. It is true there aren't any "traditional" holidays, but there are a handful of fun occasions that are definitely worth celebrating. In August alone there is National Watermelon Day, National S'mores Day, Left Hander's Day, World Youth Day, Friendship Day, and my personal favorite, National Champagne Day on August 4th.
National Champagne Day is a relatively new holiday, but it has already become a great way to celebrate a time honored delicacy that goes all the way back to the 5th century. Many people celebrate the day with a champagne breakfast, brunch, or a lovely picnic. It is common to send a champagne gift to friends, colleagues, family, or clients, on this holiday. Gifts can range from the extravagant like our Cristal Champagne & Caviar Experience, to more basic like our Champagne & Confections. There are tons of choices, just make sure you save some for yourself!

Just wanted to say hi to everyone as I am a newbie on here!
Originally from London, England but now living in SW France I am new to the whole frugality/recycling scene but learning fast. This forum is brilliant - so dynamic and full of wonderful ideas, I've yet to read through every single thread & shall make sure I have my notebook handy, and I may have to ask about some of the words use you to describe things as I won't always know what they are (we share the same language only some of the time!!!!) As a novice I won't have many ideas of my own just yet but we have just had our farmhouse re-modelled and so far I have managed to salvage and re-use the following: 1. Old plastic covered electrical wire makes great plant ties. It is pliable but very strong so there are probably hundreds of other uses. 2. Our old lavatory will be buried in the ground and used to contain (and restrain) mint plants. Similar plans for the old basin and shower tray. 3. Old roofing tiles have become path edging/bed borders. 4. Old guttering pipes will become bottomless plant pots. 5. Old windows have become the tops of cold frames, old fireplaces and shelves have become the sides. 6. Wooden pallets (from various deliveries)are now the sides of 20 feet long compost heaps, and others have been transformed into gates. 7. Our old bath is now our donkeys water trough. 8. Every single old piece of timber has either found a new use as a shelf/support etc or kept us warm when we have added it to our wood burning stove. We are very lucky in that we live in a rock-strewn area - I have a thousand uses for rocks & hope to try my hand at dry-stone walling in the near future. Thanks for a brilliant forum. Penny |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your doing a wonderful job recycling, I love the bathtub idea for the water trough. |
- Posted by mid_tn_mama 6 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 26, 05 at 14:27
These are all great ideas! You can never have enough old stuff around a farm to put to use. Here are some I recyle at our farm. I use old pots with broken handles for animal water and food. Old water heaters cut lengthwise for water troughs or feeders. All paper products are used as mulch (covered by free wood chips courtesy of local tree trimmers). I'd like to make purple martin houses out of leftover pvc pipe. |

Do you remember the first time your mother put lipstick on you? Wasn't it thrilling!
I remember when my parents where getting ready for a night out my sisters and I were hanging around our mum's dressing table like bees to the honey pot.
We wanted what she had! All those delicious potions, perfumes and lipsticks, blushers and foundation. It felt like the most glamorous world and we wanted to be part of it.
Not much has changed when it comes to mothers and daughters. The glamour of a beautiful mother getting ready still draws crowds! I had the great fortune to do a private portrait of this beautiful mum and her adorable daughters recently and they couldn't help wanting a little glamour themselves.
Carla went wild!

Which brings me to a subject all us photographers have dear to our hearts, editing. I like to think I am good at editing (ask my publisher they may tell you something else when the truckloads of images arrive for my latest book) but all of us get attached to photos and culling them down to a manageable number sometimes can be plain hard.
This was the case with the above bathroom scene. I have another 15 or so I like but didn't want my blog to crash uploading them all and we hadn't even got started on the shoot.
So dear photographers as a little editing exercise if you had to just choose one of each mother and daughter which ones would they be?
PS: As this is an edit I haven't taken out that annoying handrail in the bathtub..
PPS: I hope to share some more pics of this shoot soon..
Bon editing

I live close to Nashville. I need to replace my patio door. I need a right handed, in-swing, CENTER HINGED door. I can't find anyone that carries it. I can only find french doors, and they won't work. I stopped by Home Depot just to see how much they would charge for a basic door (Masonite, I think) to get a general idea of how much a special order door would cost and it was going to $960 (plus $400 for install). I'm surprised I'm having this much trouble as most homes in the area have the door that I have.
Any idea why this is so hard to find? Here's a link to a door made like I need it, but even this is out of stock everywhere in my area. http://www.lowes.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&cId=SEARCH&productId=3390956&cm_mmc=SCE_gps-_-gps-_-gps-_-ReliaBilt 6%27 1-Lite Steel Center Hinged Patio Door&CAWELAID=1023949609# |

I di believe your first error is where your looking for the door. Try a lumberyard or a "reputable" window and door dealer in your area. This should not be a hard item to find from most manufacturers. It may not be an off the shelf product and 900 to a 1000 dollars does not sound unreasonable to me for such a product in it's basic form (more option = more $). I would personally never purchase doors and or windows from HD or Lowe's unless you know exactly what your buying and can pick it up off their shelf and walk out the door with it. And under no circumstances would I tell them where I lived let alone ask them to install it. |
Have you tried to order it? HD & Lowes do not stick everything. |

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and no longer enjoy living. | 1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"-- |
2 It will be too late then to remember him, when the light of the sun and moon and stars is dim to your old eyes, and there is no silver lining left among the clouds. | 2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; |
3 Your limbs will tremble with age, and your strong legs will grow weak. Your teeth will be too few to do their work, and you will be blind, too. | 3 when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim; |
4 And when your teeth are gone, keep your lips tightly closed when you eat! Even the chirping of birds will wake you up. But you yourself will be deaf and tuneless, with a quavering voice. | 4 when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint; |
5 You will be afraid of heights and of falling, white-haired and withered, dragging along without any sexual desire. You will be standing at death's door. And as you near your everlasting home, the mourners will walk along the streets. | 5 when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets. |
6 Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don't wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. | 6 Remember him--before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well, |
7 For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it. | 7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. |
8 "All is meaningless," says the Teacher, "utterly meaningless." | 8 "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Everything is meaningless!" |
9 Because the Teacher was wise, he taught the people everything he knew. He collected proverbs and classified them. | 9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. |
10 Indeed, the Teacher taught the plain truth, and he did so in an interesting way. | 10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. |
11 A wise teacher's words spur students to action and emphasize important truths. The collected sayings of the wise are like guidance from a shepherd. | 11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails--given by one Shepherd. |
12 But, my child, be warned: There is no end of opinions ready to be expressed. Studying them can go on forever and become very exhausting! | 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. |
13 Here is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is the duty of every person. | 13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole [duty] of man. |
14 God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad. | 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. |

Over the past decade, Westword has profiled some of the major streets and arteries that give Denver life. For this year's project, we return to Colfax Avenue, the subject of our first profile, to examine the many changes that have taken place along Denver's main street over the past ten years.
Colorado State Capitol
200 East Colfax Avenue
All that glitters: Colfax Avenue, at 26-plus miles, is touted as the longest main street in America, and was also once dubbed the "wickedest street" in America by Playboy — which is a lot more interesting than its actual name, inspired by Schuyler (aka "Smiler") Colfax, a native of New York who founded the Republican Party in Indiana, became Speaker of the House and was elected Ulysses S. Grant's vice president in 1868. That was the year that Henry Brown donated land bounded by Lincoln and Grant, 14th and 15th (soon to be renamed Colfax), for a future state capitol building. At the time, Colorado was still eight years away from becoming a state — and Denver would not be chosen as the capital of that new state until 1881.
Construction on the State Capitol Building finally started in 1886; the cornerstone was laid in 1890. Governor Davis Waite moved into his office in 1894 and told the Tenth General Assembly that "the building is a marvel of good, honest work, and will be a lasting tribute to its builder and managers." But the work — sometimes good, sometimes honest, but also criticized by headline-writers for its "rottenness" — continued. In 1901, new advisory architect F. E. Edbrooke, who'd designed the Brown Palace, finally came up with the Capitol's crowning glory: He suggested that the cast-iron dome be gilded with Colorado gold — which was done in 1908.
And undone a century later, after damage to the exterior observation deck discovered in 2006 inspired a $17 million renovation project partly covered by the State Historical Fund, partly by donations through Share in the Care Colorado. Today, the Capitol looks like a giant stack of marshmallows towering over Colfax, with scaffolding and scrim hiding the restoration work.
But the end is in sight. On June 18, Governor John Hickenlooper will accept boxes of gold leaf to regild the dome — refined in Italy from $120,000 worth of 24-karat gold mined in Cripple Creek and donated to the state by AngloGold Ashanti and the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company. And then, at a rate of fifty to a hundred square feet a day, the dome will be recovered.
The entire restoration process should be completed by the summer of 2014, when the observation deck and dome will reopen to the public. And no matter what shenanigans are going on under the dome, from there visitors will again enjoy almost unimpeded views of miles of Colfax stretching to the west and east, that wicked, wonderful street that beats as the true heart of this city, this state.
— Patricia Calhoun
Westside Branch Library
West Colfax Avenue and Irving Street
Aside from Peyton Manning, who plays at the nearby Sports Authority Field, there hasn't been much to cheer about in the vicinity of Colfax and Irving. Motorists streaming off the viaduct are greeted by a WEST COLFAX WELCOME sign, stark towers of low-income housing and a grim commercial zone that's struggled economically for decades.
But the construction of a new branch library now underway on the southeast corner of the intersection — catty-corner from Cheltenham Elementary, directly across from a weed-choked former church and next door to a half-vacant strip mall anchored by a Latino grocery store — is a sign that things are changing.
Scheduled to open next year, the library will offer a computer lab, adult-education materials and possibly a music studio. The site was chosen over two alternatives further west because of its access to transit, including the newly opened West Line light-rail station on Federal Boulevard, and because the Avondale and Sunnyside areas — teeming with seniors, immigrants and children — have been historically underserved.
And history has a way of sticking around in this neighborhood — something that the Denver Public Library has discovered as it asked for suggestions on what to call the new library. People have suggested naming it after Golda Meir (a nod to the historic Jewish community on Denver's west side), education activist Lena Archuleta, and even the imposingly bearded Schuyler Colfax.
Yet the most popular and controversial candidate has been Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales — boxer, poet, and leader of the Crusade for Justice, the increasingly militant Chicano-rights organization that clashed repeatedly with Denver police in the 1960s and 1970s.
How you feel about a Corky Gonzales Library may depend on whether you believe that the racism and brutality of Denver cops in the civil-rights era justified the more extreme actions tied to the Crusade, including a bloody shootout in an apartment building in 1973 and an alleged bomb plot against a police substation in 1975. Supporters of Gonzales, who died in 2005, point to his much-anthologized poem, "I Am Joaquin," and his undeniable influence on the succeeding generation of Hispanic leaders. His critics — like Juan Haro, who went to prison over the '75 bomb investigation and later wrote a book accusing Gonzales of deceiving his followers and betraying the cause — insist that he was more deeply involved in the violent side of the Crusade than his boosters will admit.
Man, I guess I never thought I would see the day people would be so up in arms about a fried chicken joint being built on Colfax.
Colfax, you've changed.
Sean Mandel deliberately lies when he "insists" he has received "only two complaints" about Chick-Fil-A. I attended a neighborhood meeting in February with about two dozen neighbors, all of whom opposed the restaurant and pointed out the disadvantages and harm it would inflict on the neighborhood. That was just one meeting that people bothered to attend. He might have "received" two complaints by formal business letter, but he has heard and seen and been exposed to many, many more complaints about the restaurant (and about his duplicity).
Sean Mandel is lying again. The entire South City Park Association has complained about Chick-a-Fil. The drive thru does not meet the city's Colfax Plan and was snuck in on lies by him. The writers need to contact the association and see all he has done to avoid working with us. He has stated to us that Sprouts is non-viable on it's own as a tenant and they MUST have a drive thru... We do not trust, nor like him!
Sean, you are not welcome in SCP! Keep coming here on dates and I will harrass you in front of them!
I was surprised that the article failed to mention Duman's Custom Tailors. It has been right around the corner from the Capitol forever, and if anything demonstrated the eclectic nature of East Colfax Avenue, it was that shop.
I was gonna say, isn't it the longest street in the country? Cause if its not I've been lying to my out of town peps.
interesting. one other thing that should be mentioned is the latter day phenomenon of calling the street, "the Fax". that is appalling and must cease.

NOGALES, Ariz. - Customs Officers in Nogales recently seized 74 pounds of crystal methamphetamine with a street value of more than $1 million.
Juan Osorio, a spokesman for the agency, said, "meth has a higher dollar value for less product. The more they can push through, the more money they can make."
The meth was found in three separate vehicles last Thursday. Osorio said meth is worth more depending on how far it will travel into the United States, however, a pound typically costs anywhere between $20,000 to $30,000.
According to Osorio, an officer's intuition is key to making a drug bust. "We look everywhere, compartments used years ago are starting to return," he said. Over the weekend, officers found meth inside the oil pan of a vehicle.
Osorio said the seizures were not unusual for their work along the border. "It's a cat and mouse game,' he said. "They'll try to bring it through and we catch it."

EFnet Paralyzed By Vulnerability
Re:Full disclosure takes a hit (156 comments)
He did not disclose it, the person who disclosed the vulnerability did so in a public space for development discussion on charybdis. Once it was out in the open, we quickly jumped into action to start mitigating it across all fronts including EFnet. The ratbox developers were notified at least an hour before the exploit was unleashed, with a patch to deploy and everything, so really we did everything we could possibly do to mitigate the possibility of fallout.
Once people started running the exploit on EFnet servers, there was not much we could do, other than get the ratbox devs and admins regrouped elsewhere to coordinate getting things patched. I would say that things mostly went down as well as could be expected given the situation...

I could trade Jade cuttings, a slip of a mini-pineapple plant (makes a tiny, non-edible pineapple), and cuttings of a houseplant called a "goldfish plant" that has small green succulent leaves and gets little gold flowers that look a lot like goldfish. |
I can send you a clivia -- quite a large one --for a few orchids. |
You might want to check the Rate and Review forum before setting up a trade with this person. |
Karyn1 -- are you talking about me? I don't know of any negative reviews. If you have an issue with me let's discuss -- I don't recall trading with you. peace, Fel |

My three month trial in the trading arena has brought me 20%. Looks like I'll be handing over some loot the the goverment come April. Should Lady Luck continue to grace her presence through 05 I'll have to do the same again. Is there anyway to tax defer a precentage of the earnings? I dont have an IRA or 401k.. Should I start one of these? Any other ideas? TIA |
Follow-Up Postings:
You should most definitely have an IRA! and if you fall within the income guidelines I would urge you to set up a ROTH IRA. These are funded with income that's already been taxed and so, will grow and be available to you TAX FREE. The allowable contribution is 4K for 2005 ($4500 if you're over 50 and take advantage of the "geezer provision"). If you prefer, you can contribute to a regular IRA (same amounts) and take a deduction on your taxes... but you will be taxed on the withdrawals required when you attain retirement age. There are other benefits to ROTHS, I suggest you search and read all about them. If you use an accountant he will be able to suggest other things you can do to salt away money for your retirement. But don't wait to do this! it's easy to do and you will be amazed at how the money will begin to accumulate and begin compounding... and compounding is the key to really savvy investing and saving! |

Controlled, site-specific application of a compound of interest represents a major problem in drug delivery. For the best treatment, you need precise control over the application, distribution, and pharmacokinetics of the drug in order to know where and when the drug is acting effectively. One way to overcome this limitation is photochemistry. Photochemistry offers a tool with which one can direct chemical reactions with light stimulus. Research in the group will involve synthesis of inorganic molecules and nanoparticles as well as engineering of photo-chemical drug-delivery devices and preliminary screening of the bioactivity of the photo-responsive materials.

text: | Seanad Éireann - Volume 111 - 23 January, 1986 Order of Business. Professor Dooge Professor Dooge Professor Dooge: It is proposed to take No. 1 today. My understanding is that there are a number of Senators who still wish to contribute on this particular matter but that there is no desire to extend the debate into a third day. I have no wish to curtail speeches in any way but I would like to express the hope that it might be possible for the Minister to start his concluding speech at 4.30 p.m. and for the question to be put at 5 p.m. However, I do not wish to curtail the debate in any way and I have no intention of moving formally for an allocation of time. Mr. Lanigan Mr. Lanigan Mr. Lanigan: It is possible that the debate may break down before that but we will concur with what the Leader of the House has said. On the Order of Business, could the Leader give us any indication of what business will be ordered for the week after next? Professor Dooge Professor Dooge Professor Dooge: I take it then there is general agreement that every effort should be made for contributions from Senators to be concluded by 4.30 p.m. I think as we are discussing the single question all day, we should take a break from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. 93 On the question of future business, it is intended to meet on 5 February in order to take the Second Stage of the [93] National Development Corporation Bill which is No. 2 on today's Order Paper. It is proposed that the House should meet again on 6 February and we would then take No. 3 on the Order Paper which is a formal matter of terms of reference for the Committee on Co-operation with Developing Countries and then it is proposed to take Nos. 5 and 6 which I think could be debated together along the lines of what Senator Lanigan suggested earlier. They are both reports from the Joint Committee on Secondary Legislation of the EC in regard to statutory instruments. Even though No. 6 has come in much later than other reports, I think it should be debated with No. 5. If that does not occupy the whole of Thursday, 6 February, then we would proceed to debate No. 7 which is the Report of the Joint Committee on Building Land. In regard to Private Members' Business I intend to have discussions during today concerning the question of how we will handle the remaining half hour which is available for No. 4. In regard to looking further to the future I was asked two questions yesterday on the Order of Business. First, in regard to the Bill for the abolition of the Land Commission, the text of that Bill has not yet come to Government for a final decision but will be brought to Government as soon as possible. In regard to the Radio Bill, I endeavoured to find out the latest situation but the Minister for Communications is out of the country on official business. I will discuss it with him as soon as he returns. Order of Business agreed to. Seanad Éireann 111 Order of Business. General Debate 19860123 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

DoubleCAD XT
A newer version of DoubleCAD XT is available.
Or, Learn More About DoubleCAD XTSpectacular
Full user review
"Great free CAD program"
Very feature full CAD package especially considering the XT version is free (the installer installs both the Pro version and XT version, the Pro version is a trial, you can uninstall it). Don't listen to the idiots that don't know a software serial number from an icon, the software installs and works fine (I install on Windows Vista 32 bit and on a Windows 7 64 bit machine).
Has a few bugs, particularly a tendency to change the size of a call out style dimension line. AutoCAD compatibility leaves a bit to be desired. I have 8 AutoCAD files as part of my project and DoubleCAD was able to open, edit and save only about half of them without mangling the contents.
As far as what's available out there for free CAD software this one appears to be the best. Has some quirks (particularly AutoCAD DWG compatibility), but the only better alternative appears to be AutoCAD LT ($$$). If you just want a CAD (DWG) viewer, you are better off with AutoDesk's TrueView free application, but you can't edit with that one.

"It was not cost effective to try to keep going," he said.
Bravante Citrus, Reedley, Calif., will start shipping its San Joaquin Valley lemons in December or January, said Mike Keeline, salesman.
Volume should be similar to last year and fruit size should be the same or larger, he said.
"So far, the crop quality on everything looks really good," he said in late September.
Lemon volume from Seald Sweet West International Inc., Dinuba, Calif., should up 35% over last year, said Rick Eastes, vice president and general manager.
The company will start its San Joaquin Valley lemons in mid-November at the earliest and continue through February, then return to the coastal region through August.
"We don't see any shortage or anything that's unusual," he said. "Everything looks about normal."
The size ratios seem to be excellent, he said in late September — mostly 115s to 165s.

Threats From Below and Above
Announcing two new metal miniatures for Descent: Sea of Blood |
Descent: Journeys In The Dark | Published 12 January 2010 |
A mighty Overlord casting the world into destruction needs strong leaders to oversee his many minions. Bring your Sea of Blood Lieutenant tokens alive with highly detailed metal miniatures!
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the next two metal lieutenant miniatures for the Sea of Blood expansion to Descent: Journeys in the Dark! These detailed sculpts by Cipher Studios, the creators of Anima Tactics, will bring a new dimension to your Sea of Blood campaign.
Soriss, the loyal pet of the vile Mistress of Serpents, has roamed the seas of Torue Albes since ancient times. Heroes foolish enough to wander into her constricting grip find themselves unable to escape, as Soriss squeezes the life from them without mercy! This serpent from the deep is powerful beyond measure and seemingly immortal. Do you have the courage to face it in battle?
And if the threat from below isn't terrifying enough, look to the skies! Blocking the sun with a massive wingspan, Darkwind soars the skies about Torue Albes, serving as the Master of the Hunt's eyes. He watches and waits, his shrill cries guiding his master to his latest prey... and when the moment is right, he strikes, knocking unwary sailors into the perilous water.
Be ready to step up your game when these detailed metal miniatures sail into stores this spring!
Descent: Journeys in the Dark is a tactical board game for 2-5 players that takes a party of adventurers deep into the dungeons of Terrinoth for adventure, treasure, and glory. But beware! The Overlord and his minions stand poised to oppose any heroes foolhardy enough to enter the dungeon.
Well the Kraken mini does come with 4 tentacles on their own bases. Those would work as tentacle minis whenever the kraken isn't around =P
Love to have Avatar minis, as well as tentacle minis instead of the cardboard ones in SoB.
.....did FFG ever think 'bout Avatar Minis?

Workers at Ottawa's Salvation Army shelter ask for a living wage
The commodification of children's play

Unions are key to fighting inequity for all workers
The people who have been occupying financial districts in Canadian and American cities are motivated by anger over the glaring economic unfairness that exists in our society. The labour movement welcomes what these young people camping outdoors in tents are saying -- because we have said the very same thing for many years.
The growth of extreme inequality in Canada
There was always skepticism about claims that, as the rich became richer, income would "trickle down" to others. What wasn't perhaps foreseen was that the trickling would actually be in the other direction, and that it would be more of a torrent than a trickle.
But the evidence is now clear. Over the last three decades, the tables of the rich have overflowed, with barely any scraps falling off. On the contrary, there's been a massive transfer of income and wealth from Canada's middle and lower class to the rich.
The result is that Canada has become a highly unequal society.
Improving social well-being would reduce health-care costs
Governments are still reeling from recession-induced deficits, but now their attention is turning to another fiscal elephant marching into the room: the coming renegotiation of federal-provincial transfer payments. The Canada Health Transfer (CHT) expires in 2014, and must be extended soon. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty plans to clamp down on transfers to reduce his own deficit. But that just passes the buck to the provinces, whose fiscal position is even worse.
As this debate heats up, there's a new piece of knowledge that should be considered carefully as finance ministers arm-wrestle. Since the CHT was implemented in 2004, researchers around the world have established a whole new field of scientific knowledge regarding the social determinants of health.
We need inspired political leadership to champion greater equality
Nobody ever accused Barack Obama of having too stiff a spine.
Even so, there is something crushingly disappointing about reports last week that the U.S. president is likely to retreat from his promise to cancel George W. Bush's tax cuts for the rich.
Such a capitulation to the Republicans would concede defeat before the battle to achieve greater equality and to "spread the wealth around" is even waged. The audacity of hope seems to have turned into a readiness to choke.
Obama's promise was a modest one -- to push the top marginal tax rate from 35 per cent back up to its Clinton-era level of 39 per cent.
Time to kick over the prevailing orthodoxy in economic thought
Something is seriously wrong with the economy, here and abroad. By now, the Canadian mainstream media should have recognized it. Instead, we get reassurances from business sources about "recovery" being just around the corner.
In Canada, the U.K., and the U.S., experts offer the same failed analysis (government failed), and governments propose the same discredited solutions (reduce deficits).
Restoring inheritance tax could raise education revenue
Almost 40 years ago, Ottawa quietly cancelled Canada's estate tax.
Few Canadians even knew about the tax. Those who did mostly belonged to a small number of wealthy families who were rich enough to pay it. With its cancellation in 1972, this tiny crowd was suddenly a lot richer.
U of T economist John Bossons calculated that ending the tax amounted to a windfall of about $12 billion ($62 billion in today's dollars) for Canada's wealthiest families.
The removal of the estate tax, which remains an obscure event in Canadian history, had momentous implications, depriving Ottawa of revenue and putting Canada on a path toward greater inequality.
Summit power politics, fancy formulae and the madness of crowds
At the height of the 1999 World Trade Organization ministerial meeting in Seattle, just as the proceedings were being suffocated by tens of thousands of street protesters, Pascal Lamy, then the EU's trade commissioner and now WTO director general, pronounced that what the world was witnessing in Seattle was "a medieval process."
Within earshot of Monsieur Lamy, legions of baton-totting gladiatorial robocops smacked their shins in unison. The Seattle Trade and Convention Center, from which M. Lamy uttered those words, had become a hollow fortress as the riotous discontents outside drew a line, ate Roquefort, and whacked a few store fronts.
Canada's best economic policy option: Inequality reduction
Since the early 1980s, Canadian economic policy has consisted of introducing market-friendly policies. The stated goal was to increase productivity, defined as output per person-hour worked. Reliance on markets has not produced the expected results.
Speaking to the Ottawa Economics Association this spring, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney put a pointed question to Canadian business leaders. Given all the measures put in place by successive governments to promote productivity, why is business failing to invest?

Kenn Hoekstra Interview
[Conducted by
Recently I got a chance to talk to
's Project Admin.,
Kenn Hoekstra
, to ask a few questions about the current state of Elite Force, and a few other various things.
utopia: Could you inform us on the current state of Elite Force?
Kenn: Elite Force is in the beta stage. We're QA testing it and polishing it now. The demo feedback is a tremendous help so keep it coming. (
utopia: What has been the hardest thing to accomplish while developing Elite Force?
Kenn: Developing a single player game and a multiplayer game at the same time is becoming increasingly difficult. If you look at a lot of the games that are coming out, they're electing to do one or the other. We're doing both. That's easier said than done...
utopia: What is your favorite feature in the game?
Kenn: I really like the storyline and the ability to play the game as both a male and a female character. With a bit of ingenuity, we were able to make the transition from character to character seamless with the dialogue and story. It turned out very well.
utopia: Is there anything that you would like to see in the game, but don't have the time/resources?
Kenn: Tour mode and Assimilation deathmatch are going to have to be cut. Early in the project we thought we could do it, but we don't have the time. Hopefully we can do it and release it at a later time. I'm afraid that feature lock affects every game on the market.
utopia: Do you plan on adding any multiplayer modes besides Deathmatch, and Capture The Flag? Or is the team concentrating more on the single player experience?
Kenn: The primary focus of the game has always been the single player, but we're adding as much to the multiplayer as we can. There are over fifty characters to choose from in holomatch games and there are several game types as well. Having bots really helps add meat to the game.
utopia: Do you prefer the Borg, Romulan, or Klingon?
Kenn: The Romulans have always been my favorite. The one thing I've always wanted to see in a Star Trek series is a Federation war with the Romulans. Or, at the very least, a huge ship battle in one of the movies or season finale episodes... Is that so much to ask? =)

review by Phips
The Dark Knight 2008
Phips's review:
Best comic book/graphic novel and best superhero movie ever. No question.
The opening bank robbery scene is one of my favorite scenes from any film ever. It is so well done and well written. Plus, Ledger's Joker is revealed for the first time and its glorious.
The Joker's magic trick where he makes the pencil "disappear" is just as epic now as it was when I saw it in the theaters and everyone yelled "OHHH!". His "tryouts" later on are just as insane as well.
Furthermore, the tunnel chase and the 18-wheeler flip are so intense and so fucking awesome.
The interrogation scene between Batman and the Joker is the fulcrum on which the entire film balances, as Nolan points out. It displays the Joker's adamance towards his cause, the lack of real power on Batman's part, and the Joker's power over Batman. Batman refuses to break his code but does go so far as to torture the Joker--the Joker prodded and pushed Batman and he crumbled under the pressure.
Everything about Ledger is fantastic. The constant lip licking, shifty eyes, and every other mannerism. Plus, the way he delivers his lines is superb. Recognition must go to Nolan and the costume people as well for "designing" a Joker unlike any other that we've seen in terms of looks. Ledger's hair and make up is ratty and tattered, unlike the relatively clean Jack Nicholson version.
I wish this thing was longer than 2.5 hours. It's that good.
1 Comment
Great review! For me, what makes the interrogation scene so special is that it's the first time we've truly seen batman not in control. Since the first film, he had everyone's number but when given a man with no other reason or motivation but chaos, he can't read him. He snaps under pressure, succumbs to the mind games, and almost goes too far. He literally does'nt know what to do with the guy. He can't be stopped unless he's dead and if he kills him, not only does he break his code, The Joker wins. If Bane really "breaks The Bat" in the next film, Joker already broke him mentally in this film.

James Busby
a familiar figure in the musical life of New England, is in demand as a vocal coach, collaborative pianist, and organist throughout the Northeast. "Pianist James Busby played with skill and conviction," writes Boston Globe's Richard Dyer, "...the real illuminations came from Busby's insightful and elegant playing." In songs of Fauré and Debussy, "...the most vivid work came from James Busby, elegant at the piano...Busby...played like a French angel." (Lloyd Schwartz/Boston Phoenix). "James Busby's contributions were digitally capable and so straightforward in the interpretation department that it came as a sheer revelation to the reviewer." (Richard Buell/Boston Globe).
A native of Jackonville, Florida, and an alumnus of New England Conservatory, James studied piano with Julius Chaloff and Kyriena Siloti and organ with George Faxon and Max Miller. He later studied with noted vocal coaches Felix Wolfes, Olga Averino and conductor John Moriarty. While yet a student, he had the unique opportunity of playing for master classes and lessons with such luminaries as Jennie Tourel and Eleanor Steber. He has worked with many conductors including Sarah Caldwell, Thomas Dunn, Erich Leinsdorf and Arthur Fiedler. In addition to accompanying some of Boston's finest voices, James is organist and choirmaster of S. Stephen's Church in Providence, Rhode Island, located in the heart of the Brown University Campus, a post he has held since 1993.
Recent performances include appearances with singers at Seiji Ozawa Hall, Tanglewood and Weil Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, New York, where he performed song cycles by Ned Rorem and Scott Wheeler, with the composers in attendance. Other appearances include recitals in England, Switzerland and Germany, as well as broadcasts for The Voice of America. James has performed at conventions of the American Guild of Organists and the Organ Historical Society. He is heard frequently on WGBH radio, at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Newport Music Festival, and under the auspices of the Sears-Roebuck Affiliate Artist Program.
James served as Intermezzo's Musical Director from its inception in 2003 through the 2010 season, overseeing the premiers of Charles Shadle's
A Question of Love
, David P. Gibson's
Verlaine and Rimbaud
, and Brian Hulse's

Trouble in Tahiti
The Seven Deadly Sins

, and the acclaimed 2006 production of Britten's

Hi. I am fairly new to bromeliads. I just bought this beautiful one and I noticed it has a pup growing from the side. I would like to separate it and grow it in another pot, but I haven't tried it before. I really do not want to harm either the pup or the parent. How should I go about doing this? Is there a lot of risk that the pup could die if I try to separate it? Would anyone care to ID this bromeliad? Thanks!

Hi Josh, Your plant is one of many thousands of beautiful variegated Neoregelias, as for its specific name, sorry I can't help you but maybe someone else here can. As for the pup, I would say at this stage it's too small for removal. I personally like to let them get at least half the size of the mother before I remove them but I know of many other growers who remove them earlier. You're probably better speaking to growers in you own area who could better advise you about what's best in your environment. Also, you can use the search engine on this forum to find lots of info. on pup removal. All the best, Nev. |
Ok, I appreciate the info Nev. I'll just give it a bigger pot and wait until the pup is bigger to remove it. Thanks! Josh |

I was making dinner for a friend tonight and thought id make a simple buttermilk white bread. Dug out the Zo (I've been eating gluten free for awhile so I haven't made bread for a few months). Used the dough cycle and then gave it a one hour rise after I shaped it. What in the world is this mess? I don't think I've ever had a bread fail this bad. Wondering where I went wrong. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Winter? I know the weather can play havoc on bread. It might look feral, but it can still be tasty. |
Oh mercy, it still looks pretty good to me. First, the cracks on the side: Sometimes this happens when the bread isn't covered well and the dough forms a crust. When oven spring occurs - the last bit of rising in the oven heat before the heat kills the yeast - the bread can't rise normally on top and the sides will crack to allow the expansion. Sometimes it happens because the dough was underproofed, giving it more oven spring. Sometimes it happens if you don't shape the loaf "tightly" enough. Sometimes, I think, we just hold our mouths wrong. Slashing the top sometimes helps. At any rate, it's all cosmetic. (grin) I'd eat it anyway, no one will notice much after it's sliced. Trust me, I know this. It also looks like you may not have used a big enough pan, and that when it rose it was far over the edges of the pan. So, other than looks, how was it? Annie |
Hmmm, the first rise probably was not long enough. I'm wondering if that was the problem. I used 3 c flour and a 9x5 pan which is usually plenty big and I covered it with a towel and plastic wrap. As for taste, I didn't try it but the boys did. I made it for dinner and it's half gone so I guess it was good:) I need a failure every once in a while to remind me not to get lazy! Tracey |
1. Could you have accidently used the QUICK dough cycle instead of the regular dough cycle? If so, there wasn't sufficient proofing time. 2. Dough rises according to the temperature, moisture, and the strength of the yeast - not a clock. It takes longer the colder the ambient temperature. After the 1-hr. rise was it double in bulk? 3. You may have had too much dough for the pan size. Did you weigh the dough before choosing the pan size? Jumbo - 10x4-1/2" - 4-5 c. of flour - 2+ pounds of dough 4. After you removed the dough from the bread machine and deflated it did you round the dough and allow it to rest (covered) for 10-minutes before forming it? 5. Is it possible you used the wrong measuring spoon for measuring the yeast? I have a 1/2 T. measuring spoon that can accidently get pulled when I needed 1 teaspoon. 6. Cracks and shredding on the side of the loaf are often caused by too much flour OR old flour. If you haven't been using your flour because you have been making gluten-free breads, it may have been too old to make good bread. -Grainlady |

Retail is the sale of goods and services from individuals or businesses to the end-user. Retailers are part of an integrated system called the supply chain. A retailer purchases goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or directly through a wholesaler, and then sells smaller quantities to the consumer for a profit. Retailing can be done in either fixed locations or online. Retailing includes subordinated services, such as delivery. The term "retailer" is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals, such as a public utility, like electric power.
Shops may be on residential streets, streets with few or no houses or in a shopping mall. Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only. Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation. Online retailing, a type of electronic commerce used for business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions and mail order, are forms of non-shop retailing.
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products. Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing; sometimes it is done as a recreational activity. Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking, not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase.
