New Method Could Lead to Better Treatments for Cancer and Heart Disease
Texas Tech Chemist is studying cell death with a $520,000 NIH grant.
Written by John Davis
Dimitri Pappas received the three-year grant to study how the body kills off cells and how that knowledge may be used to develop new treatments.
A chemistry researcher at Texas Tech received a $520,000 grant to find better methods of studying cell death that could lead to more useful medications for ailments such as heart disease and cancer.
Dimitri Pappas, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, received the three-year grant from the National Institutes of Health to study how the body kills off cells and how that knowledge may be used to develop new treatments.
Known as apoptosis, it's the body's natural way of selectively killing off cells to balance cell growth. But when it's out of balance, Pappas said, it can lead to serious health issues.
"When it goes haywire, you can have rapid cell growth that leads to cancer, or rapid cell death that leads to atrophy," Pappas said.
Currently, ways to measure apoptosis are time-consuming and limit scientists' understanding of how it might be manipulated, he said. Pappas will use the grant to discover new methods to rapidly measure the rate of death in a number of cells.
The hope, he said, is to use the new methods in conjunction with medicines that offer more effective treatments. For example, chemotherapy kills cancer cells, but also kills many normal cells during the treatment. The new method could lead to the discovery of more targeted drugs that help speed up cell death in cancer cells rather than healthy ones.
Or, it could help develop a drug that could stop rapid cell death in patients with heart disease, he said.
"What this will realistically enable us to do is to test new drug compounds that will allow or prohibit apoptosis," he said. "We'll be able to weed out candidates faster."

- Step 1
Gather your supplies. Feel free to use different paint colors, buttons for eyes, etc.
- Step 2
Begin painting your doll. Be sure to print out a picture so that you know what to paint. If you mess up, you can simply paint over the acrylic.
- Step 3
When you're done painting, you might have something that looks like this.. or a little more realistic.
- Step 4
Cut 3 pieces of muslin in 1" strips that are about 2 yards long. Cut two of those strips in half. You should have 5 strips total (2 legs, 2 arms, 1 loin). I used some really dull scissors, because I didn't want a clean cut.
- Step 5
Wrap each piece of muslin around the limbs. Use Mod Podge to glue the ends of the pieces in place.
- Step 6
When you're wrapping the loin, you'll also want to leave some ends out on each side to wrap around the knee area about two times.
- Step 7
When you're done wrapping, it should look similar to this.
- Step 8
Next you'll want to cut the excess paper on the underside of the Pledge duster. I used two duster refills for the hair and I also cut about 2-3 inches off of each duster.
- Step 9
Clean off your blue and black brushes in a little bit of water. Don't throw it away!
- Step 10
Dip your hands into your paint water and rub them on the dusters. This will give them a dirty look.
- Step 11
Glue the hair pieces on with Mod Podge.
- Step 12
You're finished! For more great crafts, visit World of WarCrafts.

Mohs micrographic surgery for nonmelanoma skin cancer
Surgery Overview
Mohs micrographic surgery involves removing a skin cancer one layer at a time and examining these layers under a microscope immediately after they are removed. This procedure allows for a close examination of each layer of skin to detect cancer cells. It also allows a minimal amount of tissue to be removed while ensuring complete removal of all the cancer cells.
A local anesthetic is injected into the skin before the surgery. Your doctor then begins to remove the skin cancer and a small amount of healthy tissue, one layer of skin at a time. Each tissue layer is prepared and examined under the microscope for cancer cells. Surgery is complete when no more cancer cells are detected.
Why It Is Done
Mohs micrographic surgery may be used for removal of skin cancer that:
- Is likely to return. Mohs micrographic surgery is more effective in obtaining cancer-free margins for cancers that have irregular borders and a history of removal and recurrence.
- Is located in visible areas or areas where skin tissue should be preserved, such as on the ears, nose, or eyelids.
- Is growing quickly.
- Has a high risk of spreading to other parts of the body, such as in some squamous cell carcinomas.
- Occurs in children.
How Well It Works
Mohs micrographic surgery can be an effective treatment for skin cancer. This technique preserves as much nearby healthy skin as possible. Treatment with Mohs surgery offers the highest rates of cure for patients with squamous cell carcinoma.1 Mohs surgery is also advised for certain skin cancers when the highest cure rate is needed while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible.2 Compared to standard excision treatments, recurrence is less after Mohs micrographic surgery.
What To Think About
Mohs micrographic surgery is the best procedure to preserve skin tissue surrounding the cancer. But it requires special training and equipment, and it is time-consuming and expensive.

My walk down memory lane continues...
I went on a simulator ride called 'Slot Car Boogie' at the weekend. it was actually made by some old friends at Rocket Films in Bournemouth quite some years ago. 1996 I believe! Rocket Films are sadly no longer trading but it lead me to wonder who makes these kind of films today? It's hard to find any reference of it in the UK, which is a shame as we were obviously quite good at it.
This work would have been done on a Silicon Graphics machine running PowerAnimator. To put this into perspective, this would have cost around £60-80K for the SGI hardware and the software for just one artist... Oh, how lucky we all are now!
If you know of any companies that do this type of work in the UK, do let me know.
As with most of my memory lane trips, the memories were normally pre Internet revolution. I have however found this on YouTube, Slot Car Boogie by the originator Ian Williams.

My Animation Talk at Annecy
The Animation Festival 'Annecy' invited me to give a talk about my career as an animator and to lift the lid on a few Animation Mysteries as well. As much as I love working at Escape Studios, it was great to talk about my life as a freelance animator and some of the jobs that have shaped my career like 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' and 'The Lion King'. It was also nice to see that people were interested in this too!

Spotlight On Escapee Evgenia Golubeva
Evgenia Golubeva recently completed our animation course at Escape Studios and has put together one of the best student animation reels we have seen completed in just 6 weeks. Evgenia took full advantage of the Animation course and diligently completed all of the animation exercises, often working late into the evenings, and working relentlessly to improve her skills. Most of the shots on her reel have been taken from in-class exercises, but the way in which she has compiled the shots together into a single well-edited piece of work makes her reel far more entertaining to watch than a mere series of student shots cut together with music.
Digital Domain IPO?
We have talked recently about how well the UK is doing in VFX so it's nice to see some noise happening in the US also. Digital Domain saw its revenue from visual effects climb to $101.9 million last year - up 70% from 2009, according to its filing. Whilst DD have already had one attempt at going public in 2007, they seem convinced that now is possibly the right time.

No doubt you've heard about Rockstar's latest release LA Noire - apparently a completely new type of video game. Up until recently, most games have been all about hand eye co-ordination but in LA Noire, which is set in the late 40s, the main skill is about being able to judge body language and characters' faces to figure out if they're lying or not - or 'emotional perception' as some are calling it.

The old man cups a weathered hand behind an enormous ear to hear the question. His gaze goes distant, all the way back to that Sunday morning in 1990. Tears slick the crevassed corners of his eyes.
"You ever have a gun pointed at you?" he finally asks. "It's absolutely sickening."
Albert Morris has done everything to forget that day, when his suburban South Dade driveway exploded in a burst of sexual violence that devastated his family and — eventually — led to a life sentence for Dewayne Pinacle, a troubled 15-year-old who raped Morris's daughter and then stole hundreds of dollars in cash and jewelry.
Morris has suddenly found the worst moment of his life thrust into the heart of a raging national debate. The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to ban life sentences for juveniles. Indeed, the Florida Legislature will soon consider a bill that would make it easier for defendants Pinacle's age to get out early.
The Sunshine State is a national leader in imprisoning juveniles for life. Hundreds here have been sentenced to life for murder. And we top the nation in life sentences for lesser crimes; of the 109 juveniles who meet that description around the country, 77 are in Florida prisons.
"Long sentences at 15 and under are cruel and unusual because science has proven we're still developing mentally," says Sheila Hopkins, an associate director of Florida Catholic Conference. "They usually don't fully understand what they're doing at that age. To put them away with no hope of parole simply isn't right."
But a close look at the case of Dewayne Pinacle — one of only two Miami-Dade teens given life sentences for non-homicide crimes — makes the argument that some young defendants deserve a life behind bars.
"It's terrible what he did to my family," Morris says. "I don't think that kid should ever get out of jail."
Albert Morris — who asked that his real name not be used for this story — was born in 1931 in rural Pennsylvania and joined the Air Force after high school in the time between World War II and the Korean War. He worked "every job imaginable" in the force, other than as a pilot, at bases from Illinois to Texas to Wyoming.
In 1953, after Morris was discharged, his brother helped him land a job selling tickets for Miami-based Eastern Air Lines. He later met his wife, Karen, through the company. The couple married in the early '60s. They bought a small ranch home on a quiet stretch of SW 107th Court, about a mile east of Florida's Turnpike. In 1968, they had twins — Amy and Catherine. (The names of victims and their friends have been changed to protect their identities.)
The sisters mostly lived together until age 21, when both were University of Miami seniors and Catherine moved in with a friend off-campus. Amy stayed at home with her parents. "They were normal, happy kids," Morris says. "Amy was almost finished with a degree in family therapy."
On April 20, 1990, Amy was up late celebrating. Her boyfriend, Mike Harper, had just graduated from UM. Amy and her best friend, Sherry — Mike's sister — were throwing a party.
Amy, a pretty brunette who had been an honors student at Miami Killian Senior High and then at UM, headed home after midnight.
At the same time, just down the street, two teenagers pulled into a driveway and robbed a woman at gunpoint.
The gunman, 15-year-old Dewayne Pinacle, had grown up less than two miles away in a ramshackle home on SW 146th Terrace. He'd been in trouble for years — first for skipping school and then for busting out windows in an Avis rental car lot. At age 14, he was nailed for burglary.
This night, Pinacle was hanging out with Wayne Seth Grant, an 18-year-old who'd already earned one felony robbery conviction. The two sped away with the woman's wallet.
Then they spotted Amy heading home and followed her to the family's driveway. When she parked, Pinacle sprinted to her car, thrust his arm inside the window, and held a pistol to her head.
The 15-year-old demanded the girl's purse and jewelry. Amy handed them over.
Waving the gun, Pinacle ordered her out of the car and over to the back seat of his ride, where Grant was waiting behind the wheel. He got in beside Amy, and as they cruised down the dark street, he forced her to the floor and told her to undress. Then he raped her. When he couldn't keep an erection, he berated her and threatened to kill her.
The teens stopped five minutes later, near Fairwood Park. Grant, too, raped Amy. When they were finished, Amy asked to put her clothes back on. "That won't be necessary," Pinacle told her. "We're going to kill you anyway."
But first they took her to a nearby Publix with an ATM. Pinacle and Grant took out $200.
Back at home, Morris was having trouble sleeping. He wondered where his daughter was. Just before 3 a.m., he walked into the living room and turned on the TV set. He watched Absence of Malice, the Paul Newman/Sally Field classic.

Finding a place that will allow me to print 36X24 and give me control over the final look is turning out to be a huge problem. Does anyone have any suggestions about a good solution? I'm looking to spend no more than $5K.

Open your owner's manual to see for yourself and you might discover that you drive a car with 100,000-mile spark plug replacement intervals. Even if that's really only feasible under the most gentle of operating conditions, you see our point: Don't get talked into premature replacement unless there's a legitimate need to address a drivability issue. Then, ask to see the culprits. Plugs often have telltale visual signs when something's amuck.

Executive Chef Larkin Rogers heads up our culinary team. Larkin graduated from The Culinary Institute of America with the Frances L. Roth Award for Outstanding Achievement and moved to Europe shortly thereafter. She worked in a number of kitchens in Germany, Austria, Scotland, and, most influentially, England's Gidleigh Park, a world-renowned Michelin-starred country house hotel. After several years abroad, Larkin returned to North Carolina to work at Fearrington House before taking the opportunity to return to England.
There she opened and ran the critically acclaimed Martha's Vineyard Restaurant, which was named Great Britain's Restaurant of the Year by the Independent newspaper, as well as The Good Food Guide's outstanding restaurant (twice), Michelin's 'Worth a Detour,' and Time Out's out-of-town restaurant of the year.
She was a familiar voice on Radio4's Food Programme and featured on several television cookery shows. She also served on the executive committee of the Restaurateurs' Association of Great Britain.
Upon her return to the United States, Larkin ran a successful small catering company before coming to work for Extraordinary Spaces at the Conservancy.

Lake Technology Ltd.
Lake Technology used Nucleus RTOS to develop Clair iO – a 2-input, 6-output loudspeaker controller that employs 40-bit floating point DSP processing for a wholly innovative approach to live sound.
"As project leader, I shopped around for available real-time operating systems. I was very surprised to learn that most companies wanted a stiff up-front licensing fee, in addition to a high per unit fee. It was not an appealing value proposition. Going with Nucleus has been a very good decision for us."
Bruce Jackson, Vice President, R&D, Lake Technology Corporation
Nucleus Helps Create Better Live Sound with Clair iO from Lake Technology Limited
The selection of Nucleus RTOS was primarily based on two major factors: Mentor's flexible business model and the software's faster time-to-market reputation.
Other reasons for selecting Nucleus included the ease of integration and excellent support from Mentor Graphics' technical support team.
"I have been very pleased with Mentor Graphics' Nucleus RTOS for our ARM 7 microprocessor. We have experienced excellent reliability," said Marcus Altman, software architect, Lake Technology Limited, Australia. "I was hesitant at first because I felt we could do a more customized approach ourselves, but on receiving Nucleus, we were very quickly up and running with functionality that may otherwise have taken me a year to implement. The support has been excellent." Bruce Jackson, Vice President, R&D, Lake Technology Corporation.
The implementation of Nucleus into the Clair iO product line began about 4 years ago and Lake Technology began shipping the product in April 2002. Lake Technology Limited intends to continue developing with Nucleus software
The Clair iO
The Clair iO is a 2-input, 6-output loudspeaker controller that employs 40-bit floating point DSP processing for a wholly innovative approach to live sound. Lake developed the iO in conjunction with Clair Brothers Audio Enterprises, arguably the world's largest touring sound company and sound engineers for major artists.
The iO's innovative design extends to the way the processor receives commands. It is unique in its wireless network capability. Using a wireless touch screen controller, sound engineers can move around a stadium or an arena, hear exactly what the audience will experience in each location, and make appropriate adjustments on the spot.
"The whole process of integrating Nucleus into our platform was painless. The staff has been friendly, and support first class. As a result of our recent experiences with this product, I have recommended Nucleus to a number of other companies."
Bruce Jackson, Vice President, R&D, Lake Technology Corporation
About Lake Technology
Lake Technology Limited (ASX:LAK), an innovator in audio digital signal processing, is the creator of the technology behind "Dolby Headphone," a software solution enabling cinema-quality surround sound to be experienced over any pair of stereo headphones. Lake has strategic relationships with Dolby Laboratories and Clair Brothers. Lake customers include major computer OEMs, commercial electronics OEMs, telecommunications companies, airlines, and research institutions.

Madame BPortland, OregonChemical Burn And Contact Dermatitis!! Beware!This product should be removed from the market plain and simple. I did a patch test on my arm. No problem. Used it on bikini area and less than 24 hours later I had what appeared to be poison oak in a 6 inch radius of my lady bits. The following day it got 10 times worse and I resorted to going to the physician who diagnosed it as 2nd degree chemical burns and acute contact dermatitis which required immediate medical atentiom due to the large amounts of hematomas forming under the skins surface. Not to mention, my "bathing suit area" is so swollen that my pelvic muscles have gone numb, and the itching is unbearable. Now I am on a 10 day regimine of prednisone and antihystamines. Serious business to be dealing with in my "business". I plan to contact the company as soon as I can sit down long enough to draft an email. HORRIBLE PRODUCT. For hair removal its Viva la Brasillian for me from now on.posted Jun 12, 2009Link to this post

text: Set in 1991, just three years before the release of Jeff Buckley's debut album Grace and six years before his untimely death at age 30, director Dan Algrant's Greetings From Tim Buckley follows the troubled young musician as he prepares to participate in a tribute concert for his late father while at the same time struggling to emerge from under his father's colossal shadow. As the concert at St. Ann's Church approaches, rising musician Tim (Penn Badgley) wrestles with the anger of being abandoned by his dad (who later died of a drug overdose), and starts to fall for a Allie (Imogen Poots), a pretty intern who's helping to organize the performance. Meanwhile, as Tim grapples with the complex emotions of feeling like an outsider and a guest of honor at the same time, glimpses of his father's rise and fall puts the young musician's life into a unique perspective. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

UFC veterans Kendall Grove and Jay Silva will square off in a middleweight bout on Oct. 14 at theScore Fighting Series at the Hamilton Place Theatre in Hamilton, Ont., MMADieHards.com has learned.
Score Media previously said the fight between Joe Doerksen and Brett Cooper would be the main event for the card, which will be shown live on theScore.com and air on theScore Television Network via tape delay. Fights also scheduled are Lyndon Whitlock against Tristan Johnson, and Eric Moon against Rory McDonell.
After a five-year, 13-fight run in the UFC Grove (13-9, 1 NC) jumped at the chance to fight in his home state at the ProElite card in Honolulu on Aug. 27 and finished Joe Riggs in 59 seconds with a guillotine. Grove had lost two straight and four of his previous seven fights.
Grove beat Ed Herman to win the third season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show in June 2006. He won his first three UFC fights, but went 5-6 thereafter in the promotion.
Silva earned a UFC call-up by starting his career 5-1, with a loss only to good friend Plinio Cruz. After going the distance in losses to C.B. Dollaway and Chris Leben, Silva was released from the organization. He jumped at the chance to fight Bellator middleweight champion Hector Lombard on very short notice at Bellator 18 in May 2010, taking the fight at a catch weight of 190 pounds, and was knocked out in six seconds for his third straight loss.
Silva (7-4) has since rebounded nicely. He knocked out Jaime Jara in 33 seconds at Tachi Palace Fights 7 in December, then took another fight with Bellator at event No. 44 in May and scored a dominant unanimous decision win over Gemiyale Adkins.

You can overcome obesity, but it is up to you to take the first step. Get started with these tips:
• Know the risks of being obese. If your BMI is 30 or above you may be vulnerable to diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, sleep apnea, and more.
• Understand that you CAN do it. After years of being obese you may have cultivated the "I can't" attitude, especially if you've tried fad diets that have failed. Let WhyDiet's Philosophy guide you towards a healthier lifestyle with attainable milestones.
• Have a support system that will help you reach your goals. A cheering squad in your corner will show you that there is nothing you can't achieve.
• Know that you have options. Whether it's diet and exercise or medication and surgery—there is a way you can overcome obesity.
To learn more about WhyDiet's approach to help you overcome obesity, call 800-WHY-DIET (949-3438).
Knowing your body mass index (BMI) will help you determine what kind of weight loss plan you should pursue in order to overcome obesity.
Get started by calculating your BMI
Underweight: any BMI calculation under 18.5 is considered to be underweight and may pose as big of a health risk as being obese.
Normal: a range between 18.5 to 24.9 is considered to be within a normal, healthy range.
Overweight: 25 to 29.9 falls within the overweight range. Individuals within this range should take a look at lifestyle, fitness and eating habits.
Obese: BMI results of 30 to 34.9 are considered to be within ranges for obesity. If you've tried everything but haven't found success, perhaps it's time to examine other avenues such as medical weight loss and/or surgery.
Severely Obese: BMI ranges from 35 to 40 means that you are severely obese. Patients should discuss their options with a medical professional or bariatric surgeon.

How to Buy PC Speakers
- Category: Buying Guides
Tired of the sad sound coming from your computer? Buying PC speakers should be relatively painless, but to get the most bang for your buck, you should analyze your needs before pulling out your wallet. Options run the gamut from super-cheap, space-saving stereo speakers that sound just okay, to pricey, bass-infused powerhouses that deliver loud, thumping beats. Since music lovers, movie addicts, and gamers have different sound agendas, first we'll explore the key points everyone should consider.
Stereo, 2.1, or Surround Sound: What's the Difference?
Understanding the lingo is an important place to start. Stereo speakers consist of only a left and a right speaker, "2.1" refers to a pair of speakers augmented by a subwoofer, and surround sound involves between five and seven speakers plus a subwoofer. The role of the subwoofer is to cover deep bass frequencies, generally below 100Hz. A solid sub at a reasonable volume can add throttle to film explosions and depth to kick drums, bass guitars, analog synths, orchestras, and more. Some stereo speaker pairs, however, sound great even without a subwoofer, primarily because their woofers (the drivers dedicated to low-mid and low frequencies between 100Hz and 1KHz) are perfectly capable of handling the bass response.
Smaller stereo pairs, or those with only one driver, tend to offer less bass response. A surround-sound speaker setup employs a stereo pair, a subwoofer, a center "channel" that covers dialogue in movies, and two or more rear satellite speakers for sounds passing behind you. If you're a film buff, you have the room, and you don't mind a lot of wires, a surround system can significantly enhance your movie-watching experience. Most PC surround systems, however, are geared toward gamers. If you're looking for a top-notch gaming sound system, try sets from Logitech, Altec Lansing, or Razer. Some systems even incorporate headsets. If you simply want to hear deep bass rumble in your movies, a 2.1 system is the way to go—and fortunately, there are affordable options. Otherwise, a simple stereo pair will probably suffice.
How Much do You Have to Spend?
Even if you're on a tight budget, low-cost speakers can noticeably improve your listening experience. You can drop as little as $50 or as much as $500 on a speaker set, but the good news is that some of the best products we've tested start in the low $100 range. Our Editors' Choice, the admittedly pricey Audioengine 5+ ($399, 4.5 stars, pictured above), delivers amazing clarity, detail, and refined bass performance. The Harman Kardon SoundSticks III also offer fantastic audio performance, look cool, and sell for well under $200, and Hercules makes some solid-sounding 2.1 systems that are available for less than $100. The more you spend, the higher the quality of the drivers—the Bowers & Wilkins MM-1, for example, offers amazing sound in a diminutive package, but come with an even higher $500 price tag.
Do Extra Features Matter?
You might not think much about extra features when it comes to PC speakers, but there are some things to consider: Do the speakers include bass and treble controls so you can tailor the sound to your tastes? How about a Mute button? Is there an Aux input for plugging in an MP3 player? How about a remote control? High-quality sound and robust extra features are not mutually exclusive—the Cambridge SoundWorks MicroWorks II and the Audioengine 2 both deliver excellent audio, but offer no remote or other extras. For multiple inputs, Bluetooth streaming, and other useful features, check out Creative's ZiiSound T6.
Listening at Home or at the Office?
How you plan to use your speakers will also help determine your best option. You probably don't need a mammoth subwoofer if you're listening at work—small speakers with decent clarity might be the wisest choice, particularly if you're just using them to watch YouTube videos or listen to Internet radio streams. For home, maybe you want larger or more stylish speakers, and the ability to blast them without distortion (especially if your PC is your main music source).
What About Connections?
If your PC has a limited number of USB ports, you'll probably want to go with the more common 3.5mm "mini plug" audio output connector, though USB-powered speakers often come with software that enables special functions. The super-expensive-but-amazing Focal XS, for example, connects via USB and controls iTunes via the speakers' physical buttons. For a digital input and an excellent value overall, check out Antec's Soundscience Rockus 3D 2.1 Speaker System.
What About Wireless?
Now that the latest wireless speakers actually sound good, it's something to consider—especially if you're prone to moving your laptop around the house, and don't want to constantly disconnect and connect your speakers. The Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker ($299.95, 4 stars) offers surprisingly accurate and punchy sound over a stereo Bluetooth connection, although it looks more like a single-unit iPod dock than a proper set of two-channel PC speakers. If you'd still rather have that—and you'll get better sound this way—Apple's AirPort Express router is an old standby that lets you connect any set of PC speakers to it via a standard-size 3.5mm jack. Out of the box, it only works wirelessly with iTunes and other iDevices via AirPlay, but third-party drivers like AirFoil extend that functionality to Spotify, Pandora, and other programs on both PCs and Macs.

Really? Much more? What about

Blackberry users?
Those with too many online logins and passwords to remember?
Those who can't stand the flashing adds?
What about all of them? I am/was subscribed to both Sailnet and Yahoo groups and I haven't had a problem with the Yahoo group at all. I liked sailnet's simplicity and plain text messages.
Don't you realize that especially in the small groups, sailnet has cut the only tie between a lot of people? A tie that many found useful?
I tend to disagree that the forums are going to fill the void. I always read the lists as they hit my inbox, but I rarely check the forums, and it's been that way for years with all of the lists I subscribe to.

Cable TV in Freedom, ME
Here are just a few nuggets of cable TV knowledge relevant to Freedom. For starters, a third of Americans own four or more TVs and all but 3% of people still watch regularly broadcast TV. With 72% of Americans bundling cable TV with high-speed Internet, it's no surprise that 48% of the population now stream TV content online. In Freedom, that means there are 236 people with multiple televisions, 693 people watching scheduled programming, 514 bundling their cable services and 343 of those bundlers who stream TV online.

Mishimoto Magnetic Oil Drain Plugs include a dependable dowty seal for superior protection against leaks.

Sicker Than Sickbeard?
When I wrote about Usenet and Sickbeard a while back, I got many e-mails that I had broken the first rule of Usenet: don't talk about Usenet. I'm a sucker for freedom though, and I can't help but share when cool programs are available. This month, I switched from Sickbeard to NZBDrone for managing my television shows.
NZBDrone is a program designed to manage a local collection of television shows. It also has the capability of working with Usenet programs to automate the possibly illegal downloading of episodes, but that's truly not all it's good for. NZBDrone will take your TV show files and organize them into folders, download metadata and let you know if you're missing files. It also will show you when your favorite shows are going to be airing next.
Although it hasn't given me a problem, the fact that NZBDrone runs on Mono makes me nervous. The installation guide on the http://www.nzbdrone.com Web site makes setup simple enough, but there will be a boatload of dependencies that you might have to install due to its Mono infrastructure.
NZBDrone will work with your existing Plex media server, XBMC machines and SABNzb installs, and it automatically performs most of its features if you allow it to do so. The interface is beautiful, and even with a large collection of television shows (I have more than 15TB of TV shows on my server), it's very responsive. Whether you record your TV episodes, rip your television season DVDs or find your episodes in other ways, NZBDrone is a perfect way to manage your collection. It's so intuitive and user-friendly, that it gets this month's Editors' Choice award!

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

This old wives' tale is probably being spread by people who want to defraud you of your money by offering cures for built-up antidepressant poisons. People have been taking antidepressants for more than fifty years. We have plenty of experience with our current antidepressants, and none of them produces any poisons antidepressants simply get your brain to produce more of the natural neurochemicals that help it to function normally. You do not need to waste your money on buying products or paying anyone to detoxify your body from antidepressants, because they do not produce any toxins.
Most antidepressants are gone from the body in a few days (see tables on pages 47 and 69), and many are gone from the body in less than twenty-four hours. This is why most antidepressants are taken daily. A few antidepressants stay around longer, and the amount in your body initially increases with more doses but levels off over a matter of days or weeks.
Once people find an antidepressant dose that relieves their symptoms, they can usually take the same dose for a lifetime without suffering any problems or needing a change in dose.
