The Queen's Conference Center, constructed in 1941, and now designated as an historic building with the State of Hawai'i and the National Register of Historic Places, originally housed an auditorium and offices for many medical societies and organizations. It was known then as the Mabel Smyth Memorial Building, named after the first woman of Hawaiian ancestry to receive her degree in public health nursing.
For over 60 years, this building served as a gathering place for medical professionals and organizations whose mission was to enhance health education and communication in our community. The building was extensively renovated in the year 2000 to improve and expand services for the current needs of Hawai'i's medical community.
The Queen's Conference Center provides Queen's staff, physicians and other health care professionals with a superior venue for medical education, communications and building relationships. Now available for public health-related events and meetings, the center features the Mabel Smyth Auditorium, a teleconference room, and other conference rooms to accommodate a variety of meeting and audio-visual needs.

Cirrus enters LED lighting market
Cirrus Logic is the latest chip supplier to enter the LED lighting market with its first digital LED controller, writes Richard Wilson.
The company claims to have a way of tackling dimmer compatibility issues that are a feature of LED lights.
"Several years ago Cirrus Logic identified the growing LED market as an area where we could leverage our signal processing expertise and solve meaningful engineering challenges," said Jason Rhode, Cirrus Logic president and CEO.
Factors for adoption of LEDs in general lighting include cost but also compatibility with dimming circuits already installed in homes. Dimmer incompatibly problems can result in flicker.
"Solving the challenges of dimmer compatibility was enormously complex, and we're pleased that one of the largest LED lamp manufacturers has showcased our first LED controller precisely because it provides near-perfect compatibility with every installed dimmer from around the world that we could find and test," said Rhode.
The CS161X controller is in high volume production with a tier-1 lighting company, said Cirrus Logic.
"We expect to ship between 5-10 million LED controllers during calendar year 2012," said Cirrus.

text: Sep 18, 2012 "Green" your kitchen with 2 simple steps I'm always looking for green, non-toxic and more sustainable ways of doing things. Ironically, I think my continual quest for these "greener" ways of life are causing my grammy to chuckle up in Heaven. I can hear her now: "Silly girl! This is how we always did things before the disposable era." How do you "green" your kitchen? Firstly, NO MORE PAPER TOWELS! I know they are convenient, but they are a habit more than a need. You just need to replace them with something and change the habit. Paper towels aren't cheap and they end up in landfills. So save money and the planet. Here are two simple ideas to help you "green" your kitchen and help you get rid of those paper towels. Reusable Extra Absorbent Cloths I like Bambooee and Skoy Cloths . They are a great way to wipe up messes and are easy to wash and reuse. Plus, they are super absorbent. Skoy Cloths absorb 15 times their own weight and is 100 percent biodegradable and compostable. According to their website, "Bambooee is made from an organic bamboo source where it is harvested using sustainable and green practices." I love both and use both! Flour Sack Towels These are also great for replacing paper towels. They can catch whatever is too much for the other cloths. Spills on the floor, drying off wet fruits or veggies or just drying the dishes. These are a great addition to any kitchen and they are inexpensive. I buy them at Smart & Final, but you can also get a 12-pack on Amazon for around $26.

May 26, 2012This game is very good. Even if you are not a fan of the Game of Thrones books or lore, you will find plenty to satisfy you: a superb story, some amazing locals well represented by fine looking graphics, high-quality voice over (in french anyway) and a combat system that is much more complex than a lot of "finer" rpg's out there. I highly recommend it.
May 16, 2012I didn't expect it to have graphics on pair with a mainstream game. So I'm not disappointed. The story is GREAT, and I am willing to overlooking all the gameplay and graphic problems that plague the game. Its all worth it just for the story.

May 15, 2012The graphics may not be that great but they're not that awful. The story is compelling, Both heroes have strong characters and there is a genuine effort to be true to the licence. The game system is not original but at least it's not just another hack n'slash. In the end, it's difficult to put the pad down when you start playing. a must buy
May 15, 2012Honnestly, the story is just amazing!! You are totally carried away by the story, from beginning to end. Everything fits.
The graphics are not exceptional but ok, it's still nice. The atmosphere is kept and the fact of seeing the world move by the decisions we take is just enjoyable! If you like RPG, play it! -

May 20, 2012If you are a fan, this game is a must have. Its like being in the Hbo series. It has some flaws, but not as bad as the reviewers writed. The story is very good and there are some of the characters of the tv series making cameos with the original actor voices.
May 30, 2012Great characters, great dialogs, cool Story, , very true to the licence. I was affraid to discover another dumb hack'n slash with poor story, but if you look for some well made scenario, you have to play this one.
Fair and square, Iguess casuals will hate it, but this is one of the best licenced rpg I've played.
Sep 4, 2012Game of Thrones revels in the source material, wraps its narrative around it, and plays along with the vast universe that George Martin has crafted. It's too bad, and deeply disappointing, that the game celebrates little else.
Jul 26, 2012Even if you're a fan of the TV series, the dullness just isn't worth it. [Issue#87, p.86]
Jul 20, 2012Ultimately, Cyanide seems to have released a poor excuse for a TV show to Videogame port with Game of Thrones. It's aimed at fans of the show, and you'll soon realise that Cyanide have used little imagination when creating this title, no doubt knowing that fans will lap this tripe up simply for having the title 'Game of Thrones' on the front cover.

Today Pelaez is the featured fighter in another match involving a complicated, lucrative business at Miami International Airport. This time the pugnacious 55-year-old Cuban-American businessman is battling to hold on to his prepaid phone card empire at the airport. "The aviation department wants to screw me again just like they did [in 2001]," he growls. "They don't like me because they know I don't play games. When I fight, they know I prepare for all-out war."
Pelaez's company, Communitel, Inc., came in third place behind rivals Latin American Enterprises, Inc. and WTN, Inc. in a bid to win a new, singular prepaid phone card vending contract from the county. These three companies have also sold prepaid phone cards at the airport since 1995 under temporary one-year test permits issued by the aviation department. During that span, the vendors have flourished under three different county aviation directors. Now just one will get the opportunity to remain in business at the airport. After a scathing 2001 report by the Miami-Dade Inspector General's Office concluded the aviation department did not accept bids for a phone card vendor as required by county procedures, Miami-Dade Aviation Director Angela Gittens recommended only one company get a new contract to sell phone cards in the airport terminal. And that company is not Communitel. (Gittens makes award recommendations to County Manager George Burgess, who then relays his own opinion to the county commission, which has final approval over county contracts.)
Since it was first advertised via public notice in several business periodicals in June 2002, the aviation department's bid to select a sole prepaid phone card vendor has served as a bruising exercise in how companies and lobbyists go about winning government contracts and how county commissioners superintend the airport to help out friends and political supporters. It is a situation that has at least one county commissioner clamoring for an independent airport authority to wrest control of MIA away from elected officials. "If we get out of the business of awarding contracts then we won't have these problems," says County Commission Chairwoman Barbara Carey-Shuler. "We can pass a billion-dollar construction project without uttering a word, but we'll get worked up about a minor procurement issue like this one."
For more than a year, Pelaez has methodically jabbed away at Gittens's decision to award the contract to Latin American Enterprises (LAE). The telecommunications minimogul hopes to deliver the knockout blow by exploiting the ongoing troubles of LAE's owner, Juan José Pino, the target of a public corruption probe in Argentina who also doesn't pay his fees to the county on time.
Pelaez views the commission as the appropriate agent to undo an injustice by rejecting LAE and awarding the contract to Communitel. "I have been at the airport for [nine] years doing the right thing," Pelaez relates, "paying my fair share, reporting what I had to report to the county, and producing more revenues than the other two companies I compete with. Why should I lie down and let the system walk all over me unfairly?"
Miami International Airport (MIA) encompasses 3230 acres and employs more than 36,000 people, a thrumming little city unto itself. According to aviation department figures, the airport put $9.5 billion into Miami-Dade County's economy last year. Currently MIA is undergoing a $4.8 billion expansion that will add an additional 2.7 million square feet to the airport's 7.4 million-square-foot, horseshoe-shaped terminal. Scattered throughout the terminal are dozens of restaurants, cocktail lounges, hair salons, pharmacies, and shops, which together kicked in $43,135,497 in revenues to the aviation department last year.
In charge of this behemoth is Gittens: a spirited career bureaucrat whose decisions are as quick, decisive, and jarring as a Sugar Ray Leonard punch combo. She was tapped by former County Manager Merrett Stierheim in March 2001 to replace Gary Dellapa. Stierheim, a bull of an autocrat himself, wanted a customer-oriented professional willing to square off with political insiders who do business at the airport, one of the county's primary economic engines. Since her arrival, Gittens, with the Miami Herald and local business groups including the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce in her corner, has won several key matches with county commissioners over her apolitical decisions regarding airport procurement.
During the past three years, one of Gittens's top fiscal priorities has been to make sure MIA has only one phone card vendor. Typically, private businesses need to win a county contract in order to snag a piece of the action at the airport, though the aviation department will occasionally issue temporary one-year permits so that companies can test the market for particular products or services. Such was the case in 1995, when the aviation department issued separate test permits to Communitel, LAE, and WTN. Under normal county procurement rules, a single phone card vendor should have been selected by bid in 1996 when the test permits expired. Instead the three companies all continued to operate.

On the one hand I think that's way too harsh. On the other, I'm hard pressed to see how this might be coached given it's makeup.
If you write that Chucky is negative 15, then you might also include: Gordon: -16 Prince: -18 Villenueva: -20 Wilcox: -21
CV could be a moderate force if they put a backup caliber 2 guard on him most nights. What does it say when you have 29 guards on the roster and have to have Tay bring the ball up? Of course Stuckey got hurt last night, he had played almost 25(!) minutes when it happened. These types of things happen when you court disaster like this.
Wilcox was pretty impressive last night compared to how he has looked earlier in the season. Don't know what to say about the -21. It was a terrible lineup overall when he was in there and the Spurs were turning it on at that point. But his +/- for the year is not looking very good, that's for sure. -67 in 211 minutes. That's 15 points per game on average with him in for 48 min. That missed dunk would have been amazing had he made it. He took about 1 step from the 3-point line. With Wilcox, the guards seem to be noticing that he's an alley oop machine. They need to keep looking for him, because that is his best attribute.
I like Wilcox, I think he gets some things done on the court that we need done in the worse way. But his defense is ATROCIOUS, and it's not lazy, lack of effort defense, it's stupid, silly, clueless defense. Do me a favor and that stat thing you did with Ben, about not fouling, not putting the other team on the line, do it for Wilcox. Weezy gets called for so many fouls at the most inopportune times it's rediculous, especially on the offensive end of the floor.
Your observations are spot on... except a larger part of the effect is that our offense suffers. However, I am guessing this has less to do with him and more to do with the guards that he is usually paired with. The defense probably falls on his shoulders though, since he is the center. When he's on the court, we score 8.7 less points and we give up 5.5 more points. And this is where you are correct, the FG%'s barely change. Our eFG is 45.8 with him and 46.1 without him... virtually no different. We give up an eFG of 50.3 with him and 50.8 without him... an improvement. Overall, the net eFG between offense and defense is actually a little better with him on the court, even though the net points is 14.2 worse. So, why is that the case? Component #1: We foul the %%%% out of the other team when he's in. The other team gets 35 FTA's with him vs. 25 FTA's without him. And a lot of it must be that he's not stopping their guards, because the FT's made goes from 19 to 27. So, 10 more attempted and 9 more made. Cost = 9 points. Component #2: We get to the line, but don't make them Our FTA's only go down by 1 when he's in, but our makes go down by 3. This to me indicates that our bigs are the ones getting fouled when he's in and our guards aren't getting to the line. This is either because he happens to be in with our weaker guards or that he's clogging the lane. Cost = 3 points. Component #3 (tie for #2): Wilcox is a turnover machine We cause the same number of turnovers, but on offense, we turn it over 3 more times when he's in... which will hurt us by about 3 points per game. And this is one effect that I blame on him, since he leads the team in turnovers per minute played. I think I posted earlier that he turns it over 22 times for every 100 shot attempts. Cost = 3 points.
I was able to watch only the first half, but just within that first half he could've had 3 assists if the people he passed the ball to could make the easy basket. During this miserable stretch he has been our best and most consistent baller. Everybody else just needs to step up and Q need to pull his head out of his sitting apparatus.
I agree that Kareem was a better player than JJ. In all seriousness though, he either needs to give up that shot or get some elevation. As is, that shot looks worse than Memo driving to the basket with arms and legs flailing about.
It's almost impossible for Rip to have 29 points and our PG to have zero assists, but it happened. But the worst game Stuckey has ever had was on 2/24/09 against the Heat. He played 30 minutes, had 8 points and zero assists while he idol (D. Wade) had 31 points and 16 assists. That must have been quite a blow to the ego. Rip came off the bench that game.
Q really handled this Texas back-to-back horribly. Overplay old guys who recently returned from injury while the hustling youngsters are sitting there twiddling their thumbs. This was the worst showing of Q. I just hope we win a few games and turn the tide before Q destroys our starters by overplaying them while injured.
Wilcox was great right up to the beginning of the 4th when he had three of the eight Pistons 4th quarter turnovers in a row. It went from a tie game to a blowout then and there. Two offensive fouls and a pass that went off CV's hands if I remember it right. Still, I'd be happy with Ben gettting around 28 and Wilcox getting 20 minutes every night.
Yep bending over switching from his left hand to the right hand, I cringed thinking that he would either get the ball swiped from him, or that disc would rupture again. His over dibbling didn't help either..... how many times did he dribble from the right across the top of the key before deciding to shoot or pass and how much time was left on the clock. Bengo had 5 turnovers and Atkins looked clueless out there getting beat of defense... ...I guess we miss Will Bynum....will he be back by Saturday??
I used to think so too. But, last year I've been beaten to submission by Tablecloth last year. Now, it looks like it's a regular thing.
I'd like to see both Rip and Tay traded, but I think every once in a while you might shorten the bench for a game when a win is badly needed. Continuing to do this long-term will have disasterous effects. Except for the 4th quarter last night, the Pistons were playing evenly on the road against two pretty good team.
I can't understand why Atkins is getting so many minutes now. When Bynum, Gordon AND Rip were out with injury, it made sense. Now? There was a good stretch when JMax and Wilcox were in the game. I got really excited and watched very closely as this was something Lee was asking for for a long time. I was left unimpressed. Neither one seems to know what "boxing out" means. SAS got too many easy offensive boards while those two were in the game. The good thing is Wilcox seems to have woken up and remembered that he is capable of jumping. The sad thing is that is what was a good thing from last night.
In both games it was as if the Mavs and Spurs turned up their D to begin the 4th qtr and scored on everyone of our misses or turnovers...and unfortunately, we didn't have a D to turn on
Exactly! Go back and watch the poise of Mavs and Spurs players in those games. They were all very relaxed and looked like they never doubted they'd win the game. Even when the Mavs were down 14. Look at the way how we stayed in those games. The other team was executing plays successfully and scoring with ease. We were scrapping, hustling, and just plain getting lucky sometimes in desparation shots. Our offense was mainly guard isolation play. The cold hard truth is both SAS and Dallas just had to concentrate and play focused for about 6-10 minutes to put away those games. No, these losses didn't look good. They were ugly losses.
Remember when we used to complaint about having a switch? Now other teams are saving energy when they play us and they turn their switch on in the 4th. Oh, the pain...
Yep that's what good teams do and we USED to be one of them.. Back in the good old days, there was no doubt we would pull it out in the 4th and win, now there is doubt that we will win and there is only hope that we will somehow pull out a win... By the way when is our next [strike]loss[/strike], I mean game?? Oh yeah the return of AI on Saturday...

MARKLEYSBURG, PA (July 31, 2010) Twin 15 lap features for the Bobby Lake Motorsports Street Stocks highlighted tonight's card at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex. Arsenberger Trucking sponsored the two features paying $250 to win each. Jim Bendishaw, Jr. and Todd Dennis each picked up a feature win. Doug Horton (Jack's Recycling Super Late Models), John Over (Brooks Automotive Group FASTRAK Late Models), Vic Vandergrift (Melvin's Automatice Trans. Service Modifieds) and Kenny Burkholder (TC Race Car Parts Chargers) were all repeat winners. An over two hour rain delay took place after showers hit during the qualifying races.
Uniontown's Jim Bendishaw, Jr. took advantage of starting on the pole in the first Bobby Lake Motorsports Street Stock feature to lead all 15-laps and score his third win of the season. Bendishaw was hounded by Scott Spade who settled for second at the checker. Todd Dennis, Mike Duritsky and Bob Nelson were the top five. Sixth through tenth were John Redshaw, Jim Byers, Ryan Newman, Barry Faris and Marshall Coleman.
Bendishaw and Bob Nelson scored the heat wins.
Louie Krushansky was looking for his first win in the 15-lap Melvin's Automatice Trans. Service Modified feature. Krushansky out gunned Jerry Hasseleu at the start of the feature event. "Lucky Louie" led the first six laps before Fairmont, WV's Vic Vandergrift powered by for the lead.
Once out front Vandergrift was able to hold of Krushansky for this sixth win this season. Nick Cramer, Deana Groves, Todd Daughenbaugh, Bruce Dreistadt, Matthew Chenoweth, Nathan Baker, Hasseleu and Josh Cramer filled out the top ten. Groves and Hasseleu were the heat winners.
Doug Horton took advantage of his outside pole start in the 25-lap Jack's Recycling Super Late Model feature. Horton quickly took the lead but could not pull away from Jake Hawkins (making his first Knob start this season) and Mason Zeigler. Hawkins had the steering brake on lap seven sending him hard into the inside first turn wall. He was okay but done for the night. Zeigler took up the chase but was not able to hand the Bruceton Mills. WV driver as Horton drove to his second win of the season. Zeigler, Mel Minnick, Jr., Bob Gordon, LC Powers, Danny Pugh, Billy Holbert, Mark Booth, Len Dobrosielski and Hawkins took the top ten spots. Hawkins and Horton were heat winners.
Heat winners John Over and Mike Lewis brought the field for the Brooks Automotive Group FASTRAK Late Model feature to the green. Over led at the start with Lewis glued to his rear bumper. Lewis made numerous attempt for the lead until Rick Strickler made a slick move for second on lap 15. Strickler tried to challenge Over but could not muster enough speed to get by. Over, of Uniontown, claimed his third feature win.
Strickler, Lewis, Ricky Meglaye, Ron Smithley, Troy Shields, Billy Stile III, Bobby Cossell, Garry Sisson and Jim Bryce were the top ten.
It was all Kenny Burkholder at the start of the 12-lap TC Race Car Parts Charger feature. Burkholder looked like he would have an easy time scoring his fourth win of the season, but that all changed with a caution on lap 11. This put Marty Spade, Jr. on his tail for the restart of the two-lap shootout. The high flying duo gave the fans a show as Burkholder held off Spade, Justin Howell, JT Baird and Tim Koffler. Brad Jenkins, CJ Nicola, Bus Matthews, Eric Miller and Bennie Dennis. Heat winners were JT Baird and Brad Jenkins.
The final event was the second Bobby Lake Motorsports Street Stock feature. Todd Dennis took control at the start and never looked back on his way to his division leading seventh win this year. Mike Duritsky, Scott Spade, Jim Bendishaw, Jr. and Jim Byers were the top five. The next tier of five were Joe Wrona, Marshall Coleman, John Redshaw, Barry Faris and Chris Henry.
Next week finds Roaring Knob Motorsports Compex dark for the Fayette County Fair. Racing will resume on August 14 with the second Bedford / Roaring Knob Shootout for the Jack's Recycling Super Late Models as well as Brooks Automotive Group FASTRAK Late Models, Melvin's Automatic Transmission Service Modifieds, Bobby Lake Motorsports Street Stocks and the TC Race Car Parts Chargers.

Tax help available for storm damaged properties
Written by Staff Reports Monday, November 05, 2012 10:52 pm
< Prev | Next > |
If your property has been destroyed or significantly damaged by the recent storm, you may qualify for a reduction in your assessment for the tax year 2013 under New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 54:4-35.1), according to an announcement released this afternoon (Nov. 5) by Atlantic County spokeswoman Linda Gilmore. The following requirements must be met:
1. The damage took place between Oct. 1, 2012 and Jan. 1, 2013.
2. The building has been destroyed or made significantly less valuable.
3. You notified your municipality's assessor before Jan. 10, 2013.
The New Jersey Division of Taxation recommends that you notify the assessor by certified mail, return receipt requested, so that you have proof that your notice was mailed timely. Keep a copy of the notice and any evidence that you submitted for your records.
The Division of Taxation also recommends that you take pictures of the damage immediately, because it is possible that the assessor may not be able to inspect your property in a timely manner. After inspection by the assessor, a determination will be made of the amount of reduction, if any, in assessed value.
If you fail to notify the assessor, the law will assume that your property was not damaged and the only way to receive a reduction in your assessment would be to file a tax appeal by the appropriate deadline (April 1 for most towns, May 1 for towns that have been revalued or reassessed).
If you have any questions, contact your assessor.

CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) -- Civilian police officers could one day supplement military police at Camp Lejeune.
That plan comes after a Marine Corps committee decided more security is needed at Marine installations.
A base spokesman says the base probably won't start adding the civilian officers for another three years.
The base says in a statement that the Marine Corps concluded MPs needed supplementing at bases, air stations and elsewhere.
Planning is expected to start next year.

About Me
I graduated with my Ph.D. in Astrophysical Sciences and Technology from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in the spring of 2014. I am now a postdoctoral research fellow in Santiago, Chile at the Universidad Diego Portales working with the Millenium ALMA Disks (MAD) group. My research focuses on high energy phenomena associated with star formation. A recent copy of my CV with contact information can be found here. Please note that this site is a work in progress. Thanks!
My research interests in astronomy focus on star and planet formation. I am particularly interested in X-ray variability via magnetic reconnection events and/or accretion shocks, X-ray ionization of circumstellar material and circumstellar disk structure and kinematics. Below are a few projects I'm currently working on:
X-ray Variability of Young Stars In Orion
Stars begin their life in cold dark regions of space called molecular clouds. These dense clouds are full of molecular hydrogen, helium and other ingredients required for star and planet formation. Pictured to the right is the star-forming region M78 at optical wavelengths taken by Martin Pugh. The dark bands of cold molecular gas and dust can be seen in the southern part of the image. Stars are actively forming within dust lanes but some are so embedded, they cannot be seen at optical wavelengths. Fortunately, astronomers can use infrared and X-ray telescopes to peer through much of the cold gas and dust to search for young stars.
I am currently working on a multiwavelength analysis of the young stars in this region using Spitzer (infrared) and Chandra (X-ray) observations. Infrared observations probe warm dust and can therefore be used to detect the presence of a circumstellar disk in such newly forming stars. X-ray observations indirectly trace magnetic activity by probing hot coronal plasmas. Such plasmas are heated to temperatures more than millions of Kelvin via magnetically generated processes such as coronal activity, magnetically funneled accretion, and/or magnetic reconnection events. These data allow us to estimate the age of young stars and to search for a correlation between young stellar age and magnetic phenomena associated with X-ray emission.
Simultanoues Multiwavelength Observations of Young Stars
Simultaneous/contemporaneous observations are important to investigate young stars that exhibit variable emission on timescales of days/weeks. I am currently working on two such campaigns to study a solar-mass and two newly discovered low-mass star-disk systems. All three young stars are likely viewed (nearly) edge-on. Below is an artists interpretation of a planet forming circumstellar disk around a young protostar. Edge-on disk orientiations imply that protostellar X-rays must travel through the circumstellar disk before arriving at the telescope's detector. Such observations are useful for investigating the absorbing properties of circumstellar gas. X-ray irradiation and absorption of circumstellar disk gas can have important effects on disk chemistry and planet formation. Simultaneous optical/infrared observations can probe circumstellar disk gas and dust during the period of X-ray absorption leading to a more comprehensive view of circumstellar chemistry.

The Royal Family will hold court at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre tonight when it has its official Broadway opening. The 1927 comedy by playwriting greats George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber is about a family of flamboyant theater performers called the Cavendishes (based on the legendary real-life Barrymore clan). This Manhattan Theatre Club production of the play stars a cast of theater pros, including Rosemary Harris, Jan Maxwell, Larry Pine, Reg Rogers, Tony Roberts (Broadway's Xanadu), John Glover (recently on Broadway in Roundabout's Waiting For Godot revival), and Ana Gasteyer (Wicked, TV's Saturday Night Live). Directed by Tony Award winner Doug Hughes (Doubt), the production is scheduled to run at the Friedman Theatre through November 29th.

Focal therapy of prostate cancer will most likely have selective indications, says study
Thursday, 19 July 2012- Over the last years, focal therapy has emerged as an intermediate management technique between radical approaches (radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation, and brachytherapy) and watchful waiting to manage some early stage prostate cancers (CaP). Different energy modalities are being developed.
G. Bozzinni and colleagues conducted a study to review these energy modalities and their indications. They published their report in an online editon of the journal Urologic Oncology.
The authors reviewed the literature to concentrate on the practical aspects of focal therapy for CaP with the following key words: photodynamic therapy, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), cryotherapy, focal laser ablation, electroporation, radio frequency, external beam radiation, organ-sparing approach, focal therapy, CaP, and then by cross-referencing from previously identified studies.
Prostatic tumor ablation can be achieved with different energies: freezing effect for cryotherapy, thermal effect using focalized ultrasound for HIFU, and using thermal effect of light for focal laser ablation (FLA) and activation of a photosensitizer by light for PDT, among others.
Radio frequency and microwave therapy have been tested in this field and demonstrated their usefulness. Electroporation is currently being developed on preclinical models. External beam radiation with microboost on neoplastic foci is under evaluation.
HIFU and cryotherapy require the use of sophisticated and expensive machines and, consequently, the procedure is expensive. Laser techniques seem to be less onerous, with the added advantage of size.
"Several energy modalities are being developed to achieve the trifecta of continence, potency, and oncologic efficiency. Those techniques come with low morbidity but clinical experience is limited regarding to oncologic outcome. Comparison of the different focal approaches is complex owing to important heterogeneity of the trials. In the future, it seems likely that each technique will have its own selective indications," the researchers concluded.

Swimming With Turtles at Savai'i, Samoa – Papaya Hogs!
Swimming With Turtles Time!
For the very first time, I've had a face off with a Sea Turtle! It happened on the island of Savai'i in Samoa, where you can literally go Swimming With Turtles.
The story about this place, is that this is one of two turtle sanctuaries in Samoa that looks after turtles that have been accidentally caught in nets by fishing boats. What happens is that fisherman bring them into the sanctuary for them to be rehabilitated, and be re-released into the wild.
For a small fee, you can rock up to Swim With The Turtles and have a bit of fun feeding them. And the turtles are a friendly lot, like the Samoan locals – it's like swimming with a pet dog, not with a wild sea going reptile!
However, I was completely surprised at how understated this place is. It costs only 5 Samoan tala (would you believe, 2 US dollars!) to visit this place and hop into the water and swim with a heap of Sea Turtles. And that includes being supplied with papaya to feed them! If this place occurred in the west, it would cost at least a hundred bucks, and there would be all sorts of anal public liability issues that would probably kill off the idea in the first place because the lawyers have taken the fun out of everything!
Obviously, Samoan Sea Turtles don't face the same threat as those in Nicaragua, which require an armed guard to fend off poachers. They are pretty happy to swim around and check out the strange human beings that want to go swimming with them.
Like so!
Swimming With Turtles Video
Anyway, I took some video footage to show off the experience – check it out. If you're ever in Savai'i, it's worth checking out as you'll never forget this experience!

Swimming with turtles, much like swimming with dolphins or other marine creatures, can be an immensely rewarding experience.
Sea turtles are one of my favorite animals. These are great pictures! And glad that these sea turtles are getting the rehabilitation help they need.

Vegan Wine and Cheese, Parisian-Style
In the City of Light? Use this handy guide to plan a European vegan wine and cheese party.
In the September+October issue of VegNews, former Editorial Director Aurelia d'Andrea took readers on a magical, charming tour of Paris by arrondissement. Once you're finished eating vegan cupcakes and taking a peek at Mona, stop by some of Aurelia's favorite shops, pick up a bottle and a wedge, and relax in one of the city's many beautiful green spaces. (Psst … if you're not heading to France anytime soon, you can still enjoy vegan wine and cheese. Check out the VegNews Vegan Wine and Cheese guides to get started.)
In (Vegan) Vino, Veritas
Wine is one of many magical elixirs produced in France (cider and cognac are a couple more), and unless you're a committed teetotaler, it's worth getting acquainted with the country's superb sips, some of which you likely know, whether or not you're an oenophile: Bordeaux, Champagne, and Burgundy.
Government subsidies translate into wines that are extremely affordable—think $5 a bottle for something utterly French and uniformly tasty. Most French wines are clarified using egg albumen (cow's blood, fish bladder, and clay are other methods used around the globe), but if you stick to organic or "natural" wines, chances are that they weren't exposed to this extra processing step. One telltale sign is a bit of residue at the bottom of your glass.
In the 17e, not far from the Porte de St. Ouen flea market, a small and welcoming caviste's shop dedicated exclusively to organic wines offers friendly service, a nice vegan selection, and even one-day vegan wine-tasting courses. Step into La Meilleur Vins Bio and let Théodore, the handsome young man behind the counter, share his knowledge with you before helping you select the perfect bottle to go with your afternoon picnic in the bois.
Faux Fromage
You'll often smell it before you see it: The ubiquitous Parisian cheese shop. There seems to be one of these stinky storefronts on every corner in this city, and it's definitely not the place to go searching for that perfect wheel of faux fromage. Instead, head to Un Monde Vegan. Tucked away on a narrow side street on the fringes of the super-popular Marais district, this boutique offers the best selection of hard and soft vegan cheeses. Look for old favorites like Redwood's Cheezly and Bute Island Sheese, then acquaint yourself with the new darling of the dairy-free set: Vegusto. This Swiss-made delicacy comes in intriguing flavors (the one with "noix" is this writer's favorite), and tastes really rich in the way you might remember "real" cheese tasting. Buy two packages, because the first one definitely won't last long.

((I made mah deadline! Here you go!)) Chapter 7: Infinite How many grains of sand are there in the desert? He watches Karma run and wonders what he has done wrong. Do you know, Nasus? Lux giggles and he rolls his shoulders, wincing as the motion pulls at the pinpricks in his arms. He is careful not to let the head of his staff touch her as he folds his hands around it. "Ah'ke," he says, the words rumbling deep in his chest, and his staff is gone. "Go?" she asks. "It means return," he growls, but his teeth flash briefly in a smile. She is charming. He looks up at the sky and sighs as the sun's rays play on his face. No one knows that, Keeper Toht. "We should get back to the Institute," he suggests diplomatically, before the friendly growl he intends to follow his words with freezes in his chest. He forgot about the Measured Tread! He, the Curator of the Sands, left a book to the ravages of the elements. And worse, it was sacred to Demacia—and Lux. Registana's mercy, what would she think of him? Unease curls in him as Lux cheerfully shoulders her baton. "Sounds good!" she chirps. "I think I'm due for a match right after noon." "It looks about that time," he growls. Lux scrunches up her lips and he twitches, staring at them in fascination. Her whole face is pinched up. Her face is so mobile he worries she might have an injury before her skin relaxes back to its normal brows. One of the thin strips of fur above her eyes raises. "Nasus?" she asks. "Nothing," he mutters hastily. Are you certain? He has to get back to the pond, retrieve the book, restore it with his powers, and put it back in the library. Preferably without Lux knowing anything about it. They start walking back to the Institute and he assumes his most quietly thoughtful expression even as he frantically schemes. "So," Lux says, "You've been here for awhile?" "Months," he says. Was it years? So many champions had come, now…the fox woman, the cold, cruel warrior of the moon, the lion huntsmaster. The last made him piercingly, painfully nostalgic for his homeworld. He had even emerged from his seclusion to greet him, cautiously friendly. "How fares the Endless Empire?" he had asked, and Rengar had snarled, angry and suspicious, his claws scratching at the air, that he had no idea what Nasus was talking about, and that he should leave before Rengar took his head for his wall. And, well, that was that. There was no point…no place beyond the library he had wished to be, the creatures of this place so alien and frustrating that his hunger for knowledge lay subsumed by loneliness and despair. After a time his summons became less frequent as newer champions gained the spotlight, and he had been left to himself in the library. She had changed it all—and it made him wonder why no one had ever greeted him before. The humans were not like his own kind. Perhaps it was the champions that had influenced him so—there were few of the truly good and virtuous among their ranks, and those avoided him. He was, after all, a monster in their eyes. Lux's tiny hand brushed the fur of his wrist and he looks down to see her face wrinkled with worry. "Are you alright?" she asks, and suddenly he feels a great pity for her, for the black lines of the Measured Tread that had tormented her. She was a kind soul and she had no place here, among these people. "I am better now," he says. "Tell me of the champions that were in our match." She laughs and complies with delight. They pass the clearing that contains the pond and Nasus cannot help but give it a panicked look. He does not dare stop, so he and Lux pass by without pause. The fox woman, draped in rich, rich blue like the midnight paint of the night sky, walks by them without a word, her strange eyes flickering over his face in a way that makes him deeply uncomfortable. And she sees the look. He can tell. She twines one of her long tails around her hand and glances at him, and he looks at her stonily. There is something about her…he would call her…appealing. Something in her face, or her scent, or her manner, draws him to her. He smell the magic around her, like dead, decaying flowers, and it puts him on his guard. Her attraction is false and repellent at its core, and he finds it easy to resist. On the battlefield…he has had the unpleasant experience of being afflicted by her charm, rendered speechless and helpless by his loneliness. It brings a bad taste to his mouth and his look changes into a glare. She flinches and hurries past . "Ahri," Lux says softly. "She's the last one on the enemy team, " he growls. "You told me about Morgana, Sion, and Nocturne already." "They say she drinks souls," Lux says. He looks down to see her fingers brushing his fur again. Her face is paler than it was before. He reaches over to pat her shoulder, wincing as his clumsy fingers brush her armor. "Do not be afraid," he says, and softly, in his own tongue and then in hers, "Nek'asha'mei, I am a protector from the unknown and my knowledge and the strength of my people will be your shield." Behind her head appears a tiny, winking light, which he swiftly wills out of existence. He had put no magic in the words but it is eager to come around her. Her eyes soften as she looks at the ground. "That's lovely," she says. "What does it mean?" "I—" he growls, and a sudden sense of the mischievous overtakes him. "Figure it out, little sorceress." She laughs and her shining hair sweeps out from her in a cloud. "Very well. She's not actually a bad person, just…scary, sometimes." "I see," he says, with no truth whatsoever. They pass inside the garden gate and Lux's face lights up at the sight of a slender man, skin the color of hot chocolate, with short black hair. His eyes hold a glitter of intelligence that makes Nasus pause to examine him more thoroughly. "That's Ilarin," Lux whispers, and his ears twitch to hear her. Lux pats his gauntlet and leaves his side to join the summoner. Nasus gives him a warning look that the human answers with a sly smile. The two leave together and he sighs softly at the loss of his company. It does give him a chance to go back and search the gardens, however. As he turns to leave (having first made sure they are out of sight), he nearly runs over Ahri, who curls her tails about herself protectively. "Forgive me," he says shortly, and makes to step around her. Quick as a snake, her hand flashes out to grip his wrist. He bares his teeth at her and is about to wrench his arm away when she wordlessly presses a thoroughly wet and muddy book into his hand. "What—" he says, startled, and she smiles at him and vanishes into the crowd. He stands there for a moment, thoroughly bemused, before he starts walking quickly towards the library, spells already running down his hands. Yes, I'm certain. That is good, Nasus. There are certain things that we were never meant to know.
Waaah your story is really good! I was unsure of what to expect when I started but I really like the insight into Nasus's character :3 I wish I hadn't just read all of this in one sitting though =_= Need more!!
Really good story, I can't wait for more (btw I'm the friend who plays Lux, Zilean, and Twisted Fate)

I need more d:
This was surprisingly amazing. Looking forward to more, and you should definitely post this on FF.net. Also, thanks to you, I am now intent on writing an Ahri and Nasus lemon. >.> Look at what your impeccable writing has done to me. If I do write one, I'd like to ask permission to make it tie in to this story. :3 If you don't want me to do such a horrid thing, that's fine. Anyway, good luck with your writing. Excelsior!
Need to start reading the Fanfic forums again... But Chapter 7 was good- I still think that one with Karma is the best action scene I may have seen outside of Miao's Yi and Ahri epics. Why does no one ever include Poppy as a character? Well, other than that awesomesauce Galio story.

The principal of Thetford Academy has insisted pupils' safety has been its first priority after fears were raised over changes to its timetable.
The school wrote to parents this week to announce that its day will be finishing at 3.45pm three days a week, with a 2.45pm finish on Wednesday and Friday.
The announcement raised concerns from some parents that their children will have to walk home in the dark.
Sheena Nelson, whose son attends the school, said his walk across town to Ash Close from Croxton Road meant he would be walking in darkness in the winter months.
"I'm really worried about him having to walk in the dark as it's not safe.
"There's been no communication with the parents on this and I think parents would have appreciated being asked what they thought of it because a lot of us aren't happy," she said.
But Adrian Ball, executive principal, said the school had been "extremely thorough" when it came to changing the timetable.
"The safety of students is our first priority and this decision was made with that in mind," he said.
"While we acknowledge they could have up to a 45-minute walk home, we are satisfied that the amount of time spent walking in darkness will be minimal.
"We've even gone as far as checking sunrise and sunset times so we know that, at worst, students will be walking in twilight."
Mr Ball said the benefits of the changes will outweigh any potential negatives.
"Changing to hour-long teaching sessions was only possible with a longer day.
"But it will allow our teachers more time to be creative and to explore the central ideas of the lesson.
"We've done so much work on improving teaching here since Ofsted visited and now we are giving them the time to deliver," he said.
What do you think of the change in timetable? Let us know by emailing reporter Andrew Fitchett on email@example.com

Does anyone really think Adrian Ball makes any of the school decisions? He is purely there to take the flak of RDS when it all goes wrong.

Hethersett Academy sent a letter to parents on last day of term outlining "exciting" new changes to timetable from September. Day will end at 2.45pm Mon & Fri, 5pm Tues, Wed & Thurs.

Academies can do what they like when it comes to changing the times of the school day. They are not bound by the Teachers Pay and Conditions Regulations

if the kids didnt dawdle or spend most of croxton road trying to shove each other in the road they would be home before it got dark its an easy 45 minute walk to pine close from the school.

My children have grown up now but I would be furious if they were being subjected to such a ridiculous timetable. This is obviously designed to suit the teachers and headmaster because it would probably not suit most working parents whose employers may not be flexible enough to allow them to finish at different times during the course of the week. Has this been tried and tested anywhere and how do parents feel regarding the different finish times? Crazy!

3.45 pm is not too late for secondary school pupils to walk home. \the darkest period will be during the Christmas holidays. The street lights will be coming on and no evidence is given to support the comment that it is not safe to walk home in Thetford at that time.

What rubbish...being done to support the staff and school and NOT the community which of course semi-private academies can do irrespective of local opinion.

Let me begin by saying I was given permission to write about this. Considering it's about men's underwear, you may or may not be interested in the topic. However, how men and women shop for men's clothing fascinates me and here's my story.
Ever since reading "The Soccer Mom Myth" by Holly Buchanan and Michele Miller and The Female Brain
by Louann Md Brizendine, I've been silently observing how my family shops. My husband and sons will willingly think nothing of plunking down big bucks on expensive video games, new TV, upgrade cell phones, or to upgrade other devices. The key appears to be "BIGGER. NEWER. COOLER. NOW."
My daughter and I love to shop together. It's a battle of how smart we are vs. how stupid marketers expect us to be. We clip coupons and compare the savings with whatever sale price is on the store shelf. We read ingredients. We don't always try on clothes because we figure, "It'll fit" (I tend to be wrong.) She works in a womens clothing store and has developed an eye for what she wants me to wear but waits to get her discount to get it. She'll drive to different stores before making a purchase or research online. We get excited over things like the $2.00 wall clock for her room and the men justify their video game purchases by trading in old ones for new ones at a store that lets them do that.
For very large purchases my husband, Eric, won't leave the house until he's researched it to death for brand reputation, customer feedback, and consumer reports studies. Typically, he'll enter a store knowing more than the salesperson and it becomes a battle of who knows more about what and then Eric hands over the money once he's proven how brilliant he is in front of his wife.
In the Soccer Mom Myth, men are said to be competitive and hierarchical, wanting to establish rank and status. Women are cooperative. They look for similarities. The authors trace it to our tribal roots where men stayed alive by fighting and women stayed alive by avoiding fights.
Which is why I shut the hell up in Sears when Eric was buying the most expensive new dishwasher for the kitchen.
The Guy Underwear Problem
Eric has been looking for a certain type of men's underwear for MONTHS now. I'd listen to him mumble about not finding what he wanted. He's drive to the big department stores at the Mall, or discount stores like Target or Wal-Mart and come home with nothing. I wasn't paying much attention to him.
Until last Saturday night when we went on one of my favorite "Dates". It's an outdoor village mall set at the foot of a mountain range north of us filled with music, stores and ice cream. The kids were all elsewhere so we escaped to this place. We had no destination other than ice cream, so I asked him if he wanted to find his underwear. Isn't this what married people do on dates?
Every store we entered that was targeted to men either hid their undergarments in a basement or didn't sell them. One store had some decent looking stuff but Eric said no. We went back outside and strolled more. Finally, I asked him, "I get the no briefs and no boxers. What else is there?"
"It's a certain style I like," he replied.
Okay. I live with him. I have an idea, so I started asking more questions. Turns out he hates waistbands. Every manufacturer puts a waistband on their briefs and he hates them. Suddenly I had an image in my mind of what the "Chip and Dale" stripper guys wear and so I piped up with, "Should we do some research online for what porn star guys wear? They have to get their supplies from somewhere!"
Aren't I clever? He kinda mumbled and teased me but I didn't think he took me seriously, so I made a mental note to do some research at home later.
Which is how we solved the underwear problem.
I ran searches on "no waistband men's underwear" which Eric swears he had run before, but by page three of the search results I was in the eye candy section where rippling muscled bronzed men were posing in thongs and no waistband style jokey style things. Some were see-through. I bypassed Hanes and Fruit of the Loom because he hates their stuff, until I found one of them had "comfort waistband" items. I emailed Eric, who was playing video games downstairs, the links I'd found for him. (Like you think I'd walk downstairs? Heck no!)
He was impressed, came upstairs to his desktop with the big monitor, and spent an hour or so looking at what I'd found for him on my laptop and checking out every possible detail on material, price, comfort and god knows what else. In fact, as it turned out, some of the products I located could be found at a store not far from us.
I've longed complained that men have all the fun shopping for women online if they're feeling romantic, sexy or experimental. They go to Victoria's Secret and pretend we look like those models wearing all the lacy stuff. They even come home and try to persuade us that in no uncertain terms we do indeed look far more voluptuous than the model they saw on the Web wearing the garment they just bought for us.
Holly wrote an article called Can An Image of a Pretty Woman Boost Conversion?.
Male brains are still hardwired to facilitate their role as the hunter/gatherer. They're still programmed to compete to "get the girl." I don't mean this to make men sound like cavemen. But I suspect the subliminal message these direct mail pieces may be sending is:
'Here's a way to get more money – and the prize is going to be this attractive woman.
However, I don't want someone to buy me something they THINK will look good on me because it looks good on the perfect body that never had babies and is still 24. You don't GET anything different. You still GET me. The prize is still ME.
According to eMarketer, in the USA alone for 2008, women will account for 52.6 percent of Internet users, outnumbering males by 10 million. The heck with pretty women in pictures to increase conversions. I vote for change. I'm looking forward to more men's clothing research and how to sell men's clothing to women.
Our last stop that night was the bookstore, which is my weak spot. We're going to a big wedding next month and Eric has only a mild interest in what he'll wear. It's a "black tie" event and since I've known him, I've never seen him in a suit. So, I bought GQ's "Big Style Issue" (with pages and pages of male models) that leaped out at me from the magazine section and I proudly presented it to Eric.
He kinda gave me a look. You know that one? "What!" I said. "You and I have no idea what you should wear."
I took the magazine from his hands and decided I'd do the research myself.
It's what women do, to cooperate and help the tribe and all.

DEFINING THE ISSUES BOX 5-8 Creating Flexibility in Tenure-Track Faculty Careersa On March 22, 2005, the American Council on Education (ACE) released the report, An Agenda for Excellence: Creating Flexibility in Tenure-Track Faculty Careers, which concluded that "higher education leaders urgently need to examine and proactively address the institutional climate that governs the entire career cycle of faculty, from entry-level to tenure-track positions to retirement." The panel reports that, for a variety of reasons, an increasing number of new PhDs are leaving academe or opting for careers outside the traditional tenure-track path. To achieve a better balance between personal and professional life, some faculty, especially women, choose adjunct and non-tenure-track positions, despite low pay, minimal or no benefits, and potential lack of job security. The ACE report argues that in many fields, especially science and engineering, the United States cannot afford to lose its potential academic workforce, and US institutions of higher learning should "act immediately to attract the best faculty to the tenure-track professoriate." The report makes the following general recommendations:b
driven approach to examining those concerns lends credibility to and enables a less confrontational discussion of the issues.77

I must say, of all the interesting VHS covers that used to line the horror section shelf in the local video store, Cheerleader Camp was probably the most memorable and the one that left the biggest impression on me while growing up. I mean, really, who could forget such an image, one which looks like a molested Family Channel cheerleader movie ad. Or better yet, the end result of an older brother getting his hands on his little sisters Bring It On poster. Wow, can you image how much fun something like that would be; sneaking into a little sister's room and slapping a skull onto a cheerleader poster that looks down on her while she sleeps? My god, even I would spill my bowels all over the bed sheets if I woke up to something like that. On the flip side can you imagine if the poster of this movie showed a real live cheerleader with her shirt riding up like that, one which also displayed her beautiful face rather than the skull? Talk about waking up with messy bed sheets. One would go broke on laundry detergent.
The movie Cheerleader Camp is the story of a small cheerleading squad that heads to an interesting summer camp in the middle of the woods, one which only lasts about three days and seems to end with a important dance off and the crowning of a cheerleader queen -- something that is apparently quite the accomplishment in the world of cheerleading despite the lack of an audience or judges? Now, seeing as I have never been to a cheerleading camp I am just going to assume that what I saw in this movie is accurate and that most cheerleading camps don't require the cheerleading squad to bring any adult coaches with them, nor do they seem to have much of a schedule beyond the sunbathing -- sometimes in the nude -- and the infrequent free-for-all cheerleading practices, that, ultimately, end with more swimming and sunbathing. The camp is also well stocked on beer, which is put to good use during the last day's party, especially by the lady in charge, and employs two typical male perverts, one of whom is so gross his hands probably refuse to play with him on a regular basis. Of course this camp also is home to a killer, one who is very handy at isolating our pretty little cheerleaders -- most of whom seem to have very poor balance while in the woods despite being cheerleaders -- and cutting them free from the burdens of such a strenuous life. The question is, who amongst them can posses such a socially unacceptable pastime? Is it the nightmare suffering cheerleader, one who overworks her brain with thoughts on life and her crummy relationship, is it the always charming yet gross fat boy who likes to sneak around in old lady clothes to spy on and video tape the naked cheerleaders, is it the sheriff with the binoculars that likes a little football role-play while having sex with cheerleaders, the girl's upward spread legs acting as goal posts, is it the bitchy cheerleader camp instructor who would rather put the dead girls in the freezer than call the police, or is it the Manson like cook who never talks and is very good at chopping up pigs? Or maybe it's someone else, someone who seems too well rounded to be a killer? Either way, by the end of camp many of God's fine female specimens are going to be cheering their way through the pearly gates, their long line of mini-skirts probably giving St. Peter the biggest boner of his life, that is, if their spiritual bodies retain the beauty they came into the world with and not the grotesque display left behind for the maggots to feast on.
I should let you know that while I think the cover of this movie is very cool and deserves a spot on every horror fans shelf, the movie itself leaves a lot to be desired -- unless of course you always dreamed of seeing a pair of pom poms used as a weapon. If that's the case then savor this one because I do not believe it has been repeated anywhere else. The problem for me was that the movie seemed very slow, and by the time anything really exciting started to happen -- the slicing and dicing of fleshy victims -- I was ready to switch it off and find something else to do, my mind not really caring anymore. Also, despite what you may think given the title, cover image, and those who claim this movie was nothing more than a soft core porn flick (???), there really wasn't all that much nudity or sex, at least not by today's standards, and what was there seemed really dull, even a bit pointless. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a complaint because I always despise such excessive displays of the female flesh in movies like this, because it isn't what I pay to see (I have a whole other credit card for that), but thought I would let everyone know in case one's Internet connection was down and they were looking toward this film for a quick cheerleader uniform sex fix. All in all not a movie I would recommend if it didn't have such a wonderful cover. That alone is worth the price in my book even if I never watch the movie again.
