> Assembly of Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Kibo Fast Approaching
The International Space Station (ISS) project involves 15 countries, including the United Sates, Russia, Europe, and Canada. Japan is in charge of the development of the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM), also known as Kibo, which is Japan's first human space facility. The ISS is currently under construction 400 kilometers above the ground, and the assembly of Kibo is finally going to begin in 2008.
Kibo will be transported to the ISS on three separate Space Shuttle flights, with Astronaut Takao Doi on the first flight, Astronaut Akihiko Hoshide on the second, and Astronaut Koichi Wakata on the third. Astronaut Wakata is scheduled to stay on the ISS for about three months and conduct experiments and observations. The microgravity space environment will open the door to a variety of new opportunities for us, not only in the natural and life sciences, but also in education, art and commerce.

Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are abnormal veins that can occur in the legs. They can be small, thin purple-colored lines that lie just below the surface, or they can appear as thick, bulging, or knotted veins. There is often an underlying medical problem that causes varicose veins, called venous insufficiency.
Vascular Laboratory
Vascular Imaging is an integral part of the diagnostic work up of arterial and venous disease. This may involve one or more of several non-invasive tests.
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and "spider veins." Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (such as sodium chloride, a salt solution, or sotradecol, a detergent) directly into the vein.
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Arteries carry blood rich in oxygen and nutrients from the heart to all parts of the body. When the arteries to the legs become blocked, the muscles are deprived of oxygen and cause significant symptoms. This condition is called Peripheral Arterial Disease or PAD.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep Vein Thrombosis, "DVT", occurs when a blood clot, or thrombus, develops in a deep vein. Most of the time, DVT presents itself in the legs or pelvis, but occasionally DVT can occur in the upper extremities. The deep veins have a direct connection to the heart and lungs.
Compression Stockings
Graduated Compression Stockings are an essential part in the treatment of venous disease. They are the first step in management of venous insufficiency, which is a condition that leads to leg heaviness, swelling, and varicose veins.
Carotid Artery Disease
The Carotid Arteries connect the heart to the brain. Atherosclerosis, also called "hardening of the arteries", can occur in these vessels, causing a blockage of flow to the brain. When this occurs, it increases the risk of future stroke.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
The aorta is the main artery in the body. It comes off of the heart in the chest, then loops around and descends in the body to level of the belly button. Below the kidney arteries it is called the abdominal aorta. This is the most common site of an aneurysm.

To settle back is to settle without knowing
"Jackson Cage" by Bruce Springsteen
Much has happened in the personal life of New Jersey's favorite son since the release of his preceding studio album, Tunnel of Love, five years ago. (Chimes of Freedom, a four-song EP, was issued in 1988 as a stopgap and an Amnesty International fund raiser.) If The River forecast Springsteen's ill-fated marriage to movie star Julianne Phillips, Tunnel fore-suffered its demise. Since then, of course, Springsteen, always tougher than the rest, has moved on to Patti Scialfa, who mothered his son, Evan James. Springsteen also divorced his long-time backing group, the E Street Band. All these not-so-private turning points are addressed, at least metaphorically, on Parking Free, Springsteen's ninth studio album, due to be released nationally at the end of this month.
Produced by E Street Band pianist and long-time associate Roy Bittan, the twelve-track LP blasts off with "Parallel on the Boardwalk," a jubilant rave-up that takes the Boss back to his Jersey Shore days in more ways than one. Full of fun and fire, the explosive tune features crashing piano by Bittan and sizzling guitar lines from guest Little Steven, as well as backing vocals by Southside Johnny, Gary U.S. Bonds, and Jon Bon Jovi. With a shout-it-out call-and-response similar to "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" and a fierce guitar battle between Springsteen and Little Steven, the track is one of the most exuberant the Boss has ever offered. As he roars, "Signed a contract with a man with big pockets on a rusty old car hood/The light in the parking lot was bad but the money I got was good," he almost seems to laugh. The song lampoons the whole notion of rock stardom - "stillborn" is rhymed with "Billboard"! - and Springsteen's old friends have plenty of room to jam.
But for every "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" or "Cadillac Ranch" there must be a "Point Blank" or "Drive All Night," and the boundless energy of "Parallel on the Boardwalk" is tempered immediately by a nostalgic, even bitter, sadness. Though Springsteen has stopped sounding the same one-note symphony about the plight of the working man - there is no "Factory" or "Racing in the Street" on Parking Free - he still despairs for America. But his despair is more precise; he has his own personal anger, disappointment, and frustration to work through.
With contributions from John Prine, "Need a New Pair of Shoes" would have fit nicely on, say, Phil Ochs's classic Rehearsals for Retirement, though it is not as desperate and drowning. Instead, it's an angry strike back at the American press for their intrusions during the Phillips/Scialfa debacle. "He married for love and he left when it left" is about as confessional a lyric as you're going to find these days. Unless, of course, you're listening to the song's chorus: "What's the reason for keeping/The things you can't use/What's the reason for wearing/An old pair of shoes." Deliberately and wildly callous to Julianne, the song both plays up to the media image of Springsteen as womanizer and conveys the confused pain of leaving one woman for another. Even famous superstars have feelings.
These themes of personal integrity and emotional defense are re-addressed in "True Steel Man," in which Springsteen's apparently straightforward lyrics cleverly combine both the death of American industry and the difficulty of intimacy. You'd think the song was about the fear of unemployment, but when the character acquires material wealth, his world virtually falls apart. Simple demands are not so simple in an America that has no soul.
The repeatedly delayed release of Parking Free has been a protracted agony for Springsteen devotees. Not that it isn't worth the wait, but almost five years is a long time, even for the faithful. The Boss, though, offers no apologies for the nineteen months he spent recording in L.A.'s A&M Studios, not to mention the additional seven months of editing and mixing. A studio source claims that Springsteen actually completed an album months ago that consisted of rockabilly tunes with a couple of reggae (yes, reggae) numbers, but he dumped that master and started virtually from scratch.
The funk/R&B-drenched cuts on Parking Free vindicate the delay. There are no superficial anthems for politicians to snap up, but there's an embarrassment of riches for rock fans. Like "Hell Drives a Lincoln," a booming, horn-heavy party song featuring a taut guitar solo by guest Steve Cropper in the bridge. Clearly motivated by the great Stax records of the early and mid-Sixties, such as Otis Redding's "Fa-Fa-Fa" and Booker T. and the MGs' "Green Onions," the song rollicks along from peak to peak. The soul influence is even more apparent on "Hiding from the Dark," a ballad with hardly any instrumentation (a la "Ain't Got You" from Tunnel of Love), on which Springsteen offers an incredibly subtle, soulful vocal that would turn Solomon Burke green with envy.
But if "Hiding from the Dark" simmers and "Hell Drives a Lincoln" smokes, "Free Parking," the centerpiece of the LP and a bona fide masterpiece, is a mature artist's celebration of the music that brought him his fame, and it's also a great songwriter's tribute to the power of mainline rock and roll. Pulsating horns and raucous lyrics are the pistons that drive this supercharged beauty. "And she's leaning up against the bar," Springsteen wails, "And her boyfriend's tensing for a fight/But only I know for sure/Where I'll park my car tonight." More flirtatious than he's been since The River, Bruce's "Free Parking" joins a long line of classic car songs: "Maybelline," "Little Deuce Coupe," "Little Red Corvette," and even Springsteen's own "Pink Cadillac." Throughout this album, Springsteen seems to shake the fear of four-to-the-floor rock that has shadowed him (understandably) since he realized his "Glory Days" were behind him, and he's absolutely ready to rock. How else can you explain the frenetic drums-and-guitar interplay of "Crosstown Lights," or for that matter, "Powershot," the blistering rocker that opens Side Two?

We know it's Staals tonight but we won't be drinking. We have more than enough to deal with. Look at this sad sadness:
We could drown our sorrows in vodka but we also might die. Homemade french dip will probably alleviate the sorrow.
Everyone hates the Canes and think they are awful, apparently. Canes got an early PP after Engo fought some asshole. Eric Staal (drink if you're paying attention) goes to the box 30 seconds after Craigsy obviously slashed someone, probably because he forgot he was human.
Then Chris Kunitz gently touched Jeff Skinner and Skinner was felled like the tiniest flower. Errey with the diver accusations but in the most loving way possible.
But that doesn't stop the Canes 4 on 3 goal:
pretty nasty.
If you told us like five minutes ago that Bortuzzo was gonna go to the net for a tap-in, we would have gently chuckled at you the way we gently chuckle and are past the point of caring about the assholes who comment on the Pens Instagram. But he went to the net on Peters and Dupuis fed him a pass. Bye.
further inspection indicates that Bort may also be a velociraptor.
We were ready to start modifying our picnic guest list (Jeff Skinner no longer invited ever) and chalk the rest of the first up to ancient curses and a few too many Moon Pies, but Jokinen got a puck up to Brenden Morrow after a Canes turnover at the blueline. Morrow was basically one-on-one in the slot with some dickbag. Backhand-forehand and an absolutely nasty shot. He fell while he was scoring. Brooks got him the puck. His first as a Pen–it's moments like these we kind of live for.
2-1 feels pretty good right about now.
This guy's name is Bob Sanguinetti which sounds like a name from Harry Potter or True Blood.
Canes faceoff win. Just got it to the net. Uhhhhh.
Canes celebrate. We just feel icky.
next shift Douglas Murray almost scored and we had already named the triplets.
EACH STAAL BROTHER HAS AN ASSIST, Steiggy says. That's worth at least a shot or two. Rest of the period, there are flashes of something–like catching your heart in your throat when Malkin and Iginla are passing to each other–but nothing much. Feels like we've already been here for 8 years.
steiggy and errey started telling stories about Finnish people to deal with the uneventful moments that were the first 10 minutes of the second period. Two teams just trying to score but not super jammed up about it yet. Peters and Fleury both holding the fort. Pens get a PP but not much is going on. Jeff Skinner thinks his mother is a bit late bringing him his warm milk, throws a tantrum. . .or slashes someone. Would be interesting to see. . .something. Anything.
Morrow got us excited right before the penalty call by driving to the net like his life depended on it.
Jokinen and Malkin almost made Serious Magic at the tail end of the PP but nothing was going on. Skinner out of the box almost gets a break. Errey says the Canes fans have awakened from their naps and realized that Brooks Orpik exists still. Cue Erik Cole reference.
Jordan has played more minutes in this game than his brother Eric to start the third. Imagine that.
Pens got into some trouble behind their own net. Who the hell is Riley Nash? all alone in front.
Pens grinders have something going. Beau Bennett is out there making magic with Craigsy and Tanner. Beau went to the net. Nifty backhander. Rebound goes off of some Cane though we had some fleeting hope that Tanner Glass got his butt on it. Nothing doing with that dream. But BeauBeau hasn't lost a step.
Next shift Malkin and Iginla come out. They went to the net. Malkin would have done anything to get to that puck. Pretty much anything. He ended up wildly poking it in while one-handing his stick.
All of a sudden it is 4-3. Gene has completed his spirit quest.
bitches we still here.
blah blah Canes pull Peters and the Pens defend the net like champs.
Dupes gets the empty net.
We don't understand this game but we'll damn well try. We think we just had to find the monster within. Eric Staal remembers. It's a young monster now. But we'll watch it grow.
1. Mark Eaton. Our favorite American soldier. +3
2. Brooksie. Seems to be back to his old self a little tiny bit and was a +4 this evening.
4. Admiral Adams, because when Admiral Adams has had a multi-point game, it is a very special and hallowed night indeed.
Go make your babies.
Go Pens.

School Board Race Turns Ugly
Candidate claims teen working for opponent's campaign has stalked her family and pelted her car with rocks.
The race for a seat on one California School Board is getting ugly as one candidate accuses another for terrorizing her family.
When Jesseca Saenz-Gonzalez decided to run for Sweetwater Union High School District's Seat Two, she knew it was not going to be easy.
Now she says things have gotten out of control.
Gonzalez claims a 12th-grade boy has been stalking her, taking photos of her young children and has damaged her campaign car with rocks.
She also alleges one of the rocks went through the window and struck her husband in the face.
"I know that we open ourselves up when we're running for a campaign," Saenz said. "But when it comes to children, that's where I draw the line."
Gonzalez has filed four police reports with the Chula Vista Police Department with incidents dating back to September.
"As far as throwing something in the vehicle, if the person's intent is to cause harm, it could be a felony," said Captain Gary Wedge with the Chula Vista Police Department. "If a person is throwing water balloons in car, it could be a misdemeanor."
Wedge says they are still looking into whether there is any connection to Gonzalez's campaign.
Gonzalez believes her opponent Pearl Quiñones is behind the boy's antics.
"She doesn't have a platform," said Quiñones, the current Board President for the Sweetwater Union High School District. "So she's just trying to run on something that she's going to discredit me."
Quiñones says the boy, whose name we are not disclosing since he is a minor, is a friend of the family.
"He's working for my campaign, not against hers," said Quiñones.
Gonzalez says she has since hired private security guards to escort her and her family.
Gonzalez and Quiñones are two of four candidates who will face off for Sweetwater Union High School District's Seat 2 on November 6.

Press releases 2011
Nearly a third of all malaria affected countries on course for elimination over the next decade
Press release 12.09.2011
Roll Back Malaria report launched at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Forum, Seattle
Seattle, October 17th 2011 – A new report released by the Roll Back Malaria Partnership (RBM) just prior to the opening of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Malaria Forum in Seattle, reveals that an increasing number of countries are setting their sights on eliminating malaria, with three countries already certified as malaria-free by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the last 4 years.
Authored by the WHO's Global Malaria Program, with data collected from all geographical regions, the latest report in the RBM Progress & Impact series, Eliminating Malaria, Learning from the Past, Looking Ahead, identifies the current trend towards ending malaria, with 7 countries having recently eliminated malaria and working to prevent re-introduction, and another 10 countries are currently monitoring transmission to arrive at zero malaria cases. The report further describes nine countries - out of a total of 108 malaria endemic countries and territories - which are preparing to move towards nationwide elimination of malaria.
Addressing a media roundtable at the Gates Malaria Forum, Dr Robert Newman, Director of the Global Malaria Program of WHO stated, "the world has made remarkable progress with malaria control. Better diagnostic testing and surveillance has provided a clearer picture of where we are on the ground - and has shown that there are countries eliminating malaria in all endemic regions of the world. WHO continually monitors this progress and ensures that these countries are fully supported in their efforts to be malaria -free."
Malaria elimination - the deliberate interruption of mosquito-borne malaria transmission resulting in zero incidence of infection in a defined geographical area - was first attempted at large scale during the Global Malaria Eradication Program from 1955 to 1972. During this 17-year period, twenty countries were certified by WHO as malaria-free. However, this number fell to only 4 countries in the 30 years which followed, due to a massive reduction in efforts to control the disease.
Today there are still an estimated 781 000 deaths annually from malaria, a disease which is entirely preventable and treatable. Malaria affects 40% of the world's population and hinders social and economic development among the poorest communities. Over the last decade, the rapid scale-up of a variety of malaria control interventions has saved an estimated 1.1 million lives in Africa alone, and reduced deaths from malaria by 38%. This momentum and the results achieved, have encouraged many countries to consider the next steps towards malaria elimination.
"The extraordinary commitment, the concomitant financing, and the coordination of efforts to realize malaria targets over the last ten years have resulted in a situation today where we could see 10 more countries reaching a malaria-free status in a relatively short time. This will save many many more lives," said Professor Awa Marie Coll-Seck, Executive Director of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership.
Revising its objectives upwards in the lead up to the 2015 Millennium Development Goals, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership has identified eliminating malaria in 8 to 10 new countries, including all countries in the WHO European Region, as one of its new, ambitious targets. By continuing the push for universal coverage with malaria control tools, including insecticide treated nets, indoor residual spraying, diagnostic testing, and effective malaria treatments - countries will be able to reduce malaria transmission dramatically.
"Eliminating malaria requires strong national leadership, commitment to quality programming, and highly effective surveillance systems that can rapidly detect and contain transmission" stated Dr Richard Steketee, Science Director of the Malaria Control and Evaluation Partnership in Africa (MACEPA) at PATH. "The global community must commit to sustained and predictable support to help move those ready countries across the elimination threshold."
This week RBM Partners are gathering at the second Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Malaria Forum to share ideas and strategies around the goal of malaria elimination - and eventual eradication.
"In 2011, with the highly effective interventions we have available, no one should die from malaria" continued Dr Robert Newman. "If we can achieve universal access to and utilization of these measures, while making the required investments in people and health systems, as well as in the research required to develop tomorrow's transformative tools, then the country and regional goals of malaria elimination, and the global goal of eradicating this ancient scourge, will become a reality."

by Kristen Schaub Your home audio system should help you relax after a long day at the office so don't settle for mediocre sound. Pick up a pair of A 360 floor-standing speakers and experience the room-filling excitement of Boston sound. This speaker boasts clear, musical audio that'll add a sense of immediacy to your movies and music. Get caught up in the latest period romance thanks to the sweeping musical score and powerful dialogue. Or sit back and relax to your favorite classic jazz piece as the instruments and vocalists come to life in front of you. Advanced drivers deliver the Boston sound you love The A 360 features Boston's 1" Kortec® soft dome tweeter for clear, crystalline highs. A separate 3-1/2" midrange fleshes out those middle frequencies for clearer dialogue and more nuanced special effects. And the dual ceramic/glass fiber polymer woofers use Boston's Deep Channel Design® to deliver more bass response per watt of amplifier power. The crossovers in all A Series speaker models incorporate low-loss capacitors and low-distortion cores for the inductors. It means you'll hear every note in your music with minimum distortion. Thoughtful cabinet design This speaker's cabinet design also features vertical and horizontal internal bracings to reduce unwanted resonance that can muddy the sound. Plus, as part of Boston's A Series of speakers, the A 360 features modern styling with a stunning high-gloss, scratch-resistant cabinet, a textured top panel for contrast, and a convenient magnetic grille. Tips for system building Create a complete A Series speaker system using a pair of A 360 floor-standing speakers in the front of your room, along with the A 225C center channel and a pair of A 25 or A 26 bookshelf speakers in the back of your room. Add either the ASW250 or ASW650 powered subwoofer, and you can enjoy deep, rumbling bass, too. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Tower speakers produce powerful sound with excellent bass, making them a great choice for serious music lovers and for folks who want high-impact home theater.
Great deal and great sound Written By Bickle307, Kansas City, KS on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 These pair great with my SVS Ultra to create a 2.1 system from heaven in our basement. There are probably better floor-standing towers but you'd need to spend 2-3 times the price. Having only had bookshelves and satellites previously this is a whole nothing world. You can feel and hear voices and instrument strokes, etc. *Note the photo may look like matte black, but these have a beautiful piano finished. Pros: High end sound for entry level price Cons: None unless you're doing a side-by-side comparison with much more expensive units.
Boston Acoutic A 360 speakers Written By BobV, Albany,NY on Monday, September 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are great. I'm surprised how good they sound, especially for the money. I'm a musician and if I am trying to figure out a part in a song, I'll listen to these over my expensive studio monitors.

Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose has been ruled out of the postseason opener by coach Tom Thibodeau. It did not come as a surprise, but it gave a sense that Rose, who hoped to be back for the postseason, may not play this season at all.
The last time Rose played was in last season's postseason opener, when he tore his ACL and the Bulls went on to lost to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Rose may be missing the first game, but the organization is not ready to rule him out completely yet, according to Nick Friedell of ESPN.
"He's most likely out but you never know," Thibodeau said. "The playoffs are stretched out, too, so you have to factor that in. So who knows another week from now where he is? You always want to leave that possibility open."As of now, the fifth seeded Bulls will have to face the Brooklyn Nets without their superstar. In the regular season, this was not a problem for them as they went out to sweep the season series against them, winning by large margins. But that was before Deron Williams found himself again, and the team has been completely different ever since. As of now, the Nets will take it one game at a time, as will Derrick Rose.
"Whenever he can come back, he comes back."

Featured Article
Just two days ago, I was grumbling about how this political season has just about ground me down. Then, on Tuesday, we took the show to Northwestern Regional High School in Winsted, for a forum with Ralph Nader and students. Maybe it was the fact that my commute was less than five minutes...maybe it was just such a stark contrast with the previous night's "town hall" debate which provided so little fire...but this was energizing.
The students asked great, thoughtful, diverse questions...and Nader showed, again, why he's been such a force for so many years. You might not like his politics, and you might not like how he's chosen to spend his time the last few years, but you can't argue with the energy he displays at 74.
I asked him "Where's the next Ralph Nader?" And, he didn't seem to know. There might not be one....ever.
Rick Green from the Courant was there, as was a TV crew from the BBC, shooting a piece on Nader. Unknown to us, there was something else there, too. From the AP:
A 15-year-old student is suspended after bringing a fake gun to his Winsted school this week during presidential candidate Ralph Nader's visit. The unnamed student brought the fake pistol to Northwestern Regional High on Wednesday as Nader visited the school during a stop in his hometown. The student was issued a juvenile summons for breach of peace.
(Sigh) I'm in a bad mood again.

(Tues., Nov. 10, 2009) Manila—Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann today paid his respects to thousands of American and Filipino casualties of World War II who are interred at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial, and to many thousands more who remain Missing in Action and are memorialized there.
"We must never forget the sacrifices our military men and women have made, and continue to make, in the service of our nation," Hannemann said. "Many Americans don't realize that thousands of our veterans are buried in the Philippines alongside Filipino allies. As we honor our service men and women on Veterans Day, it's very important to remember those interred and memorialized here. They came from every state in the union and fought bravely throughout the Pacific."
A total of 16,636 Americans and 570 Philippine Nationals who served with U.S. forces are interred at the cemetery, including 3,744 Americans whose remains have not been individually identified. In 20 instances, two brothers lie side by side. Another 36,285 Americans who remain Missing in Action, or who were buried at sea, are also honored at the memorial, which was established shortly after World War II on the grounds of the former Fort William McKinley U.S. military reservation. The deceased served in the U.S. Army and Army Air Forces, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
Hannemann is in the Philippines to lead a Trade Mission sponsored by the Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, with business development workshops sponsored by the Mayor's Office of Economic Development. In Manila, he made two economic development presentations to business groups brought together by the Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry on the advantages of doing business in Hawaii and in the Philippines.
In addition, the mayor had a private dinner meeting with former Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos and several prominent business and government leaders. Hannemann began leading trade missions with the Filipino Chamber Commerce of Hawaii in the early 1990s as the director of the state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism.
Hannemann also appeared on the very popular "Wowowee" television show, which is broadcast throughout the world to cable subscribers and is seen by many Hawaii viewers on The Filipino Channel. The mayor was introduced by host Willie Revillame, and presented an aloha shirt to him. The show can be viewed at http://now.abs-cbn.com/shows-variety.aspx?showid=3&cat=1 .
Besides Manila, Hannemann is visiting Cebu City in the Visayas Region and several cities and towns in the Ilocos Region of Northern Luzon. Most of Hawaii's earliest immigrants from the Philippines came from the Ilocos and Visayas regions, as do many recent immigrants. Honolulu has sister-city relationships with the Philippine cities of Baguio, Cebu, Laoag, Manila and Vigan.
Hannemann will return to Honolulu on Thursday, Nov. 12.

Gilbert du Motier, the Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834) first arrived in America in 1777 to assist George Washington in the cause for independence. From that time, and despite differences in language, age and upbringing, the two formed a life-long friendship and were united by common beliefs in human liberty and democratic society, principles that set them apart as inspirational leaders. Nearly 50 years later, in 1824, Lafayette returned to the United States, and was welcomed by prominent citizens and jubilant onlookers in all of the young country's 24 states. Initially arriving in New York, "the Nation's Guest" undertook a triumphant 13-month tour and was venerated in cities and towns as a close associate of General George Washington and last surviving general of the Revolutionary War. Lafayette was twice granted Honorary Citizenship of the United States, first in 1824 (along with his descendants in perpetuity), and again, posthumously in 2002; one of only six specific persons so honored.

NYIP Launches New Online Photo Project Submission Portal for Students
On March 25th, as a part of our mission to provide the highest-quality photography education to students all over the world, here at the New York Institute of Photography we announced the launch of a new online photo project submission portal for students enrolled in their photography courses. This update to the courses was based on a request from new and existing students, and greatly improves the speed with which students can get feedback from their teachers as they move through the course.
For years, NYIP students would mail their photo projects into the school to be evaluated by their photography teacher. The reasons for this process were to ensure students could create a print, and to provide teachers with prints so that they could evaluate photos without worrying about their computer monitors affecting the coloring or photo quality. Over the last six months, NYIP worked to build a state of the art photo upload system that allows students to share high quality photos through the web, and get feedback from their teachers on the same platform.
"The new online submission portal is the best thing to happen to NYIP's courses in a long time," said NYIP's head student advisor Chris Corradino. "It will help students complete their projects faster, save them money on shipping, and improve the quality of the photography training that our students receive."
The online photo project submissions will completely replace the physical mail process currently in the course for all new students in both the Complete Course in Professional Photography and the Fundamentals of Digital Photography moving forward. For those students who will still require physical submissions for any reason, they will be given that option.

Demi Guynes (/dəˈmiː/ de-MEE; born November 11, 1962),[n 1] known professionally as Demi Moore, is an American actress, filmmaker, former songwriter, and model. Moore dropped out of high school at age 16 to pursue an acting career, and posed for a nude pictorial in Oui magazine in 1981. After making her film debut later that year, she appeared on the soap opera General Hospital and subsequently gained recognition for her work in Blame It on Rio (1984) and St. Elmo's Fire (1985). Her first film to become both a critical and commercial hit was About Last Night... (1986), which established her as a Hollywood star.
In 1990, Moore starred in Ghost, the highest-grossing film of that year, which brought her a Golden Globe nomination. She had a string of additional box-office successes over the early 1990s with A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Disclosure (1994). In 1996, Moore became the highest-paid actress in film history when she was paid a then-unprecedented fee of $12.5 million to star in Striptease, a film that was a high-profile disappointment. Her next role, G.I. Jane (1997), was followed by a lengthy hiatus and significant downturn in Moore's career, although she has remained a subject of substantial media interest during the years since.
Moore took her professional name from her first husband, musician Freddy Moore, and is the mother of three daughters from her second marriage to actor Bruce Willis. She was married to her third husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, from 2005 to 2013.
Moore was born in Roswell, New Mexico. Her biological father, Air Force airman Charles Harmon, Sr.[12] left her mother, Virginia (née King), after a two-month marriage, before Moore was born.[13] When Moore was three months old, her mother married Dan Guynes, a newspaper advertising salesman who frequently changed jobs; as a result, the family moved many times.[14] Moore said in 1991, "My dad was Dan Guynes. He raised me. There is a man who would be considered my biological father who I don't really have a relationship with."[13] Moore learned of him at age 13, when she found her mother and stepfather's marriage certificate and inquired about the circumstances since "I saw my parents were married in February 1963. I was born in '62."[13] Dan Guynes committed suicide in October 1980 at age 37, two years after he separated from Moore's mother.[13] Charles Harmon appeared on Inside Edition in 1995, making an appeal to see his grandchildren.[15] Virginia Guynes had a long record of arrests for crimes, including drunk driving and arson.[16] Moore broke off contact with her in 1990, when Guynes walked away from a rehab stay Moore had paid for at the Hazelden Foundation in Minnesota.[17] Guynes publicly embarrassed her daughter by posing nude for the low-end magazine High Society in 1993,[18] where she spoofed Moore's controversial Vanity Fair pregnancy and bodypaint covers, and parodied her love scene from the film Ghost. Moore and Guynes briefly reconciled shortly before Guynes died of cancer in July 1998 at age 54.[19]
Moore has a maternal half-brother, Morgan Guynes, who in 1988 was a U.S. Marine stationed in North Carolina, and gave her away at her wedding the previous year;[20] two paternal half-brothers, Charles Harmon Jr.[12] and James Craig Harmon (b. 1974[21]) who in 2006 was sentenced to 10 years in jail for aggravated assault;[21] and a paternal half-sister, Charlotte Harmon Eggar, who in 2012 said she had not seen Moore in 30 years.[12]
Moore was cross-eyed as a child; this was ultimately corrected by two surgeries. She also suffered from kidney dysfunction.[14] At age 15, Moore moved to West Hollywood, California, where her mother worked for a magazine-distribution company.[13] Moore attended Fairfax High School there,[13] and recalled, "I moved out of my family's house when I was 16 and left high school in my junior year."[22] She signed with the Elite Modeling Agency and went to Europe to work as a pin-up girl,[23] then enrolled in drama classes after being inspired by her next-door neighbor, 17-year-old German actress Nastassja Kinski.[24] In August 1979, three months before her 17th birthday,[24] Moore met married[24] musician Freddy Moore, at the time leader of the band Boy, at the Los Angeles nightclub The Troubadour.[25] They married in early 1980 and lived in an apartment in West Hollywood.[25]
Demi Moore co-wrote three songs with Freddy Moore and appeared in the music video for their "It's Not a Rumor," performed by his band The Nu Kats.[26] She continues to receive royalty checks from her brief songwriting career (1980-1981).[27]
Moore appeared on the cover of the January 1981 issue of the adult magazine Oui, in which she posed for a series of photographs containing full frontal nudity.[28][29] In a 1988 interview, Moore claimed she "only posed for the cover of Oui—I was 16; I told them I was 18" and that the photos inside "were for a European fashion magazine."[30] In 1990, she told another interviewer, "I was 17 years old. I was underage. It was just the cover."[31]
Moore made her film debut with a small supporting role in the deaf-teen drama Choices (1981), directed by Silvio Narizzano.[32] Her second feature was the 1982 3-D science fiction/horror film Parasite, for which director Charles Band had instructed casting director Johanna Ray to "find me the next Karen Allen."[28] Moore then joined the cast of the ABC soap opera General Hospital, playing the role of investigative reporter Jackie Templeton from December 1981 to March 1984. During her tenure on the series, she made an uncredited cameo appearance in the 1982 spoof Young Doctors in Love.[33]
Moore's film career took off in 1984 following her appearance in the sex comedy Blame It on Rio.[34] That same year, she played the lead role in No Small Affair. Her commercial breakthrough came in Joel Schumacher's yuppie drama St. Elmo's Fire (1985), which received negative reviews but was a box office success[35] and brought Moore to international recognition.[36] Because of her association with that film, Moore was often listed as part of the Brat Pack, a label she felt was "demeaning."[37] She progressed to more serious material with About Last Night... (1986), co-starring Rob Lowe, which marked a positive turning point in her career,[38] as Moore noted that, following its release, she began seeing better scripts.[39] Film critic Roger Ebert gave the film 4 out of 4 stars and praised her performance, writing, "There isn't a romantic note she isn't required to play in this movie, and she plays them all flawlessly."[40] The success of About Last Night... was unrivaled by Moore's other two 1986 releases, One Crazy Summer and Wisdom, the last youth-oriented films she would star in.[41]
Moore made her professional stage debut in an Off-Broadway production of The Early Girl, which ran at the Circle Repertory Company in fall 1986.[42] In 1988, Moore starred as a prophecy-bearing mother in the apocalyptic drama The Seventh Sign—her first outing as a solo film star.[39] The following year, she played the quick-witted local laundress and prostitute in Neil Jordan's Depression-era allegory We're No Angels (1989) opposite Robert De Niro.
Her most successful film as of 2014 was the supernatural romantic melodrama Ghost, a sleeper hit that grossed over $505 million at the box office and was the highest-grossing film of 1990.[43] The love scene between Moore and Patrick Swayze that starts in front of a potter's wheel while the song "Unchained Melody" plays in the background has become an iconic moment in cinema history.[44][45] Ghost was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Moore's performance as Molly Jensen earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination as Best Actress.[46]
In 1991, Moore co-produced and starred in the mystery thriller Mortal Thoughts, and appeared as a blonde for the first time in the romantic comedy The Butcher's Wife, with Roger Ebert's review describing her as "warm and cuddly".[47] Both films were box-office disappointments, but Moore sustained her A-list status with her starring roles in Rob Reiner's A Few Good Men (1992), Adrian Lyne's Indecent Proposal (1993), and Barry Levinson's Disclosure (1994)—all of which opened at #1 at the box office and were blockbuster hits.[48]
By 1995, Moore was the highest-paid actress in Hollywood.[49] However, she subsequently had a string of unsuccessful films starting with The Scarlet Letter, a "freely adapted" version of the historical romance novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, in which her portrayal of Hester Prynne was met with harsh criticism.[50] Despite the poor reception of that film and the indifferent box office of her follow-up releases, Now and Then and The Juror, Moore was paid a record-breaking salary of $12.5 million in 1996 to star in Striptease.[49][51] Much hype was made about Moore's willingness to dance topless for the part, though this was the sixth time she had shown her breasts on film.[17] Although the film was actually a financial success—grossing over $113 million worldwide[52]—it failed to reach expectations and was widely considered a flop.[53] Meanwhile, she also produced and starred in a controversial miniseries for HBO called If These Walls Could Talk, a three-part anthology about abortion. Its screenwriter, Nancy Savoca, directed two segments, including one in which Moore played a widowed nurse in the early 1950s seeking a back-alley abortion. For that role, Moore received a second Golden Globe nomination as Best Actress.[46]
Moore famously shaved her head in order to play a Navy SEAL recruit in Ridley Scott's G.I. Jane (1997). The film was a moderate box office success,[54] but its domestic gross was only slightly more than it cost to make.[55] During the film's production, it was reported that Moore had ordered studio chiefs to charter two planes for her and her entourage,[56] which reinforced her negative reputation for being a diva[57]—she had previously turned down the Sandra Bullock role in While You Were Sleeping because the studio refused to meet her salary demands,[58] and was dubbed "Gimme Moore" by the media.[55]
After G.I. Jane, Moore took the role of an ultra-pious psychiatrist in Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry, then retreated from the spotlight and moved to Hailey, Idaho on a full-time basis to devote herself to raising her three daughters.[59] She was offscreen for three years before re-emerging in the arthouse drama Passion of Mind (2000), the first English-language film from Belgian director Alain Berliner. Her performance was well-received,[60][61] but the film itself garnered mixed reviews and was deemed "naggingly slow" by some critics.[61] Moore then resumed her self-imposed career hiatus and continued to turn down film offers.[62] Producer Irwin Winkler said in 2001, "I had a project about a year and a half ago, and we made an inquiry about her—a real good commercial picture. She wasn't interested."[55]
Another three years passed before Moore acted again. She returned to the screen, playing a villain in the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle,[63] but that was followed by yet another three-year absence. In the interim, Moore signed on as the face of the Versace fashion brand[64] and the Helena Rubinstein brand of cosmetics.[65] In 2006, she appeared in Bobby which featured an all-star cast, including her husband Ashton Kutcher, although they did not appear in any scenes together.
Moore reunited with Blame It on Rio co-star Michael Caine for the British crime drama Flawless, which came out in a limited release in 2008 with generally positive reviews.[66] As of 2014, her last appearance in a widely released film was in 2007's Mr. Brooks with Kevin Costner. Moore has since acted in a number of independent films, the most distinguishable of which have been The Joneses (2010) with David Duchovny and the critically acclaimed corporate drama Margin Call (2011), where she was part of an ensemble cast that included Kevin Spacey, Simon Baker and Paul Bettany.
Moore had been cast to play feminist activist Gloria Steinem in the Linda Lovelace biographical film Lovelace,[67] but within a month of being announced for the role, she dropped out of the production in the wake of a January 23, 2012 hospitalization and what her representative called "professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health."[68] Sarah Jessica Parker took over the role.[69]
In August 1991, Moore appeared nude on the cover of Vanity Fair under the title More Demi Moore. Annie Leibovitz shot the picture while Moore was seven months pregnant with her daughter Scout LaRue, intending to portray "anti-Hollywood, anti-glitz" attitude.[70] The cover sparked an intense controversy for Vanity Fair and Moore. It was widely discussed on television, radio, and in newspaper articles.[71] The frankness of Leibovitz's portrayal of a pregnant sex symbol led to divided opinions, ranging from complaints of sexual objectification to celebrations of the photograph as a symbol of empowerment.[72]
The photograph was subject to numerous parodies, including the Spy magazine version which placed Moore's then-husband Bruce Willis' head on her body. In Leibovitz v. Paramount Pictures Corp., Leibovitz sued over one parody featuring Leslie Nielsen, made to promote the 1994 film Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult. In the parody, the model's body was attached to what is described as "the guilty and smirking face" of Nielsen. The teaser said "Due this March".[73] The case was dismissed in 1996 because the parody relied "for its comic effect on the contrast between the original".[73] In November 2009, the Moroccan magazine Femmes du Maroc emulated the infamous pose with Moroccan news reporter Nadia Larguet, causing controversy in the majority Muslim nation.[74]
In August 1992, Moore again appeared nude on the cover of Vanity Fair, modeling for body painting artist Joanne Gair in Demi's Birthday Suit.[75][76]
Moore was a founding "celebrity investor" in the Planet Hollywood chain of international theme restaurants (modeled after the Hard Rock Cafe and launched in New York on October 22, 1991) along with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and former husband Bruce Willis.[77] She was the executive producer of all three of the films in the successful Austin Powers franchise,[78] as well as an interview series for the Lifetime network called The Conversation.[79]
Moore's net worth is estimated to be $150 million.[80][81]
On February 8, 1980, she married singer Freddy Moore, 12 years her senior.[82] During their marriage, Demi began using Freddy's surname as her stage name.[27] She filed for divorce in September 1984; it was finalized on August 7, 1985.[27]
Following her divorce from Freddy Moore, Moore was engaged to actor Emilio Estevez. The pair planned to marry in December 1986, but called off the engagement.[83]
On November 21, 1987, Moore married her second husband, actor Bruce Willis.[84] She and Willis have three daughters together: Rumer (born August 16, 1988),[85] Scout (born July 20, 1991),[86] and Tallulah (born February 3, 1994).[87] They announced their separation on June 24, 1998,[19] and filed for divorce on October 18, 2000.[88][89]
Moore had a longstanding relationship with martial arts instructor Oliver Whitcomb, whom she dated from 1999 to 2002.[90]
In 2003, Moore began dating actor Ashton Kutcher, who is 15 years her junior. They married on September 24, 2005.[91] The wedding was attended by about 150 close friends and family of the couple, including Willis.[92] In November 2011, after months of media speculation about the state of the couple's marriage, Moore announced her decision to end her marriage to Kutcher.[93] After over a year of separation, Kutcher filed for divorce from Moore on December 21, 2012 in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences.[94] Moore filed her response papers in March 2013, requesting spousal support and payment of legal fees from Kutcher.[95][96] On November 27, 2013, their divorce was finalized.[97]
On January 28, 1998, Moore and Willis sued their former nanny, Kim Tannahill, in a U.S. district court in Blaine County, Idaho, claiming she billed them for personal expenses, reneged on some $8,000 worth of loans and spoke about their private lives in violation of a confidentiality agreement.[98] The couple sought at least $300,000 in damages.[98] On February 2, 1998, Tannahill filed a countersuit in a Los Angeles Superior Court.[98] In that lawsuit, Tannahill claimed that she was subjected to "intimidation, threats and force," and accused Moore of locking her in a bedroom for a two-hour "verbal beating" upon firing her in August 1997,[98] quoting Moore as saying "It's scary what I could do to you."[98] Tannahill's lawsuit was thrown out by a federal judge in April 1998,[99] while the suit filed by Moore and Willis was settled out of court.
In May 2003, Moore was sued by the former manager of her Idaho ranch, Lawrence Bass, for sexual harassment and discrimination.[100] Bass sought more than $250,000 in damages, claiming in his lawsuit that Moore approached him in the same manner as did her character with Michael Douglas in the 1994 film Disclosure, then fired him, months later, after he had turned down her advances.[100] Bass, who also filed complaints with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Idaho's Human Rights Commission,[101] had been the subject of seven restraining orders, was arrested in 1998 for domestic abuse, and was wanted for failing to answer a five-count criminal harassment complaint against him.[101] Idaho state investigators ruled there was "no probable cause" to support his allegations against Moore.[102] The case was dismissed in February 2004.[103] Moore filed a countersuit against Bass, who served a 10-day jail sentence for civil contempt.[102]
She is a follower of Philip Berg's Kabbalah Centre religion, and initiated Kutcher into the faith, having said that she "didn't grow up Jewish, but ... would say that [she has] been more exposed to the deeper meanings of particular rituals than any of [her] friends that did."[citation needed][104]
According to The New York Times, Moore is "the world's most high-profile doll collector," and among her favorites is the Gene Marshall fashion doll.[105] At one point, Moore kept a separate residence to house her 2,000 dolls.[98]
While she landed on PETA's Worst-Dressed List in 2009 for wearing fur,[106] two years later she supported the group's efforts to ban circus workers' use of bullhooks on elephants.[107]
Since 2013, Moore has been practicing Kundalini Yoga as originally taught by Yogi Bhajan. She has been taking classes in Malibu with Kundalini teacher Tej Kaur, sometimes with daughter Rumer Willis.[108] Celebrity Fix reported that Moore has done her training and plans to teach this yoga.[109]
In 2009,[110] Moore and Kutcher launched The Demi and Ashton Foundation (DNA), a nonprofit, non-governmental organization directed towards fighting child sexual slavery.[111][112] Its first campaign was "Real Men Don't Buy Girls."[113] In November 2012, the foundation said it was announcing "a new name and refined mission"[114] as Thorn, which aimed "to disrupt and deflate the predatory behavior of those who abuse and traffic children, solicit sex with children or create and share child pornography".[110]

Sometimes a diagnosis of lung cancer can make you feel alone and afraid. Getting to know other people who have similar experiences can be helpful. One of the ways we try and do this is by running support groups for people with lung cancer. There are more and more groups across the UK
Use this link to search for details of your local lung cancer support group.
Leeds Group, 2012
Why join a group?
A group can provide useful information about the impact of lung cancer. Groups often have invited speakers with specialist knowledge on areas like side effects of treatment, new therapies, financial advice and healthy eating.
"When I was first invited after my diagnosis, I thought, "No Way." My wife was thinking the same thing, but we daren't tell each other, so we went... It completely lifted us out of the gutter, lifted us no end. I would recommend it to anyone." (Dougie Reid)
Who can join a group?
Most groups are open to people who are being treated for lung cancer and those who have completed treatment. Equally important members are family and carers who can find it helpful to share thoughts and feelings with others who are looking after relatives.
"It's helped me tremendously; you're made to feel so welcome. It's like a readymade family and I love going." (Anne Ferguson)
How are the groups run?
Most groups are run by a Clinical Nurse Specialist, or other skilled professional involved in the care of people with lung cancer. These facilitators will usually organise the group meetings and may have special training to help them run the groups.
"On diagnosis your life seems to lose all direction and support groups are wonderful ways to access all the help and advice available in a friendly, surprisingly humorous and relaxed atmosphere. These groups are all expertly supervised by a widely experienced Clinical Nurse Specialist". (Robert Lowe)
When do they meet?
Most groups meet monthly at a time and place that is suitable for members. This is often during an afternoon, sometimes at a centre in the hospital of in a local hotel or community venue.
Your local lung cancer information and support group provides an opportunity for people affected by lung cancer to come along and chat with people in a similar situation.
If there is not a group near you at present do get in touch as we are keen to support new groups where there is and interest.
