|Holomorphic Generation of Continuous Inverse Algebras
We study complex commutative Banach algebras (and, more generally, continuous inverse algebras) in which the holomorphic functions of a fixed $n$-tuple of elements are dense. In particular, we characterize the compact subsets of~$\C^n$ which appear as joint spectra of such $n$-tuples. The characterization is compared with several established notions of holomorphic convexity by means of approximation conditions.
Keywords:holomorphic functional calculus, commutative continuous inverse algebra, holomorphic convexity, Stein compacta, meromorphic convexity, holomorphic approximation

The Commander of Gondor
8. The Star of Eagles
Commander Thorongil successfully arranged to be most busy with overseeing the activities of the City Guards for the week the Dol Amroth guests had been in the city. In contrast, he had granted his captain liberal leave to attend the visitors. Sometimes, the commander decided as he sat at his desk watching a flurry of snow outside, it was pleasant to be out of the action, enjoying the quiet of his office. He was turning to add more charcoal to the corner brazier when Quillion slammed in with a blast of cold air, cheeks as red as the scarf that swathed his head and neck.
"My lord!" Quillion had been accompanying Fallon to the guesthouse regularly. Since his acquaintance with the Lady Finduilas, he had decided he preferred that title for his commander and used it indiscriminately and frequently, to the annoyance of Thorongil who constantly reminded him he was no lord. "I have the list of required Yule events for your attendance! May I go with you to them? Please!" the boy begged.
"Perhaps," Thorongil said, eyeing the extensive list. The door opened again admitting Fallon and Imrahil. Both were dressed for riding in knee-length, suede coats and heavy cloaks.
"Oh, and…." Quillion grinned sheepishly, " I was to tell you the captain and His Highness are on their way!" Thorongil grimaced at his squire's flightiness.
"But you were sidetracked, delayed, and then forgot." Quillion nodded without guilt.
The prince and Fallon were riding out to inspect the defensesat the Rammos Wall and Ecthelion desired his commander to go also. The weather had warmed a bit, the snow was light, and Dagor had been stabled for a week. Thorongil accepted his self-imposed hibernation had ended, ordered the stallion saddled, and pulled on his riding coat.
"We've missed you at dinner," the prince said amicably as they trotted across the Pelennor. Thorongil negotiated with the restive black stallion to keep to the controlled gait of the prince's mount. "Finduilas expects you to dine with us tomorrow." They reined in on the rise of the field and the prince looked beyond the wall far to the east to the grey peaks of Ephel Dúath. A shadow seemed to darken his face. He pointed with his whip in the direction of Osgiliath and to the northeast.
"They will come from there and there. They will first get a foothold on the eastern shore and attack the river bridge." Thorongil did not need to ask of whom he was speaking. "It will be a vast horde, intent not on conquering but on death and destruction. I've seen it." Imrahil shook his head sadly. "I've seen it so many times in my dreams." He seemed to remember himself and eyed Thorongil warily. "You must think me daft."
"No, I've seen such in dreams also, my lord prince," Thorongil announced.
"I can blame my visions on my Elvish ancestors," the prince jested. "What excuse have you for such troubled sleep?"
"My ancestors are to blame also," Thorongil stated enigmatically. That statement left Imrahil puzzled but as he looked up to question the commander, he noticed the man's attention was drawn to the far pair of riders skirting the Rammas. Fallon cantered along it with one of the guards to check for a perceived weakness. Thorongil watched the flame red stallion prance along beside the lesser horse. He turned back to the prince.
"I knew your father and was sorry to hear of his passing. He was kind and generous to me when I was sore in need of help."
"I regret I missed that adventure." Imrahil smiled. "My sister was quite infatuated with her pirate lord until she met Captain Fallon." He gestured in the direction of the two riders.
"Is there hope for their union?" Thorongil asked. "He is my second in command, a man of integrity and valor, and I do have a soft spot for your sister. I believe they would suit as a couple."
"Father sanctioned it and I am not opposed. I would have Finduilas wed happy and he makes her so. However, I would have her wed well also. She is a princess of Dol Amroth. The Steward recognizes Fallon as his son. He has distinguished himself as a soldier and his father aims to reward him with lands and a title for his service. Now that the mourning period is over, the Steward and I can continue marriage negotiations. I see no reason why we should not be toasting the couple at this time next year." At that moment, Fallon rode up and they turned their mounts back toward the city.
"Where is the lady?" Fallon asked. "I can't imagine she'd prefer the indoors when she could attend a ride in the open air?"
"Lord Denethor has been quite solicitous," Imrahil imparted. "He has put himself at Finduilas' disposal. He wanted to show her the archives; he's been very entertaining." A look passed from Fallon to Thorongil over Imrahil's head as if to question how his battle-hardened brother could ever entertain a lady.
Later that evening, Thorongil sat at a quiet side table at The Laughing Dwarf. The inn was bustling with local soldiers on furlough for winter and he watched as Molly, the serving wench, glided agilely between tables, avoiding both spilling her tankards and overly friendly hands. He listened to the conversations around him for a bit, thought perhaps Fallon might happen by, but finally, his tea finished, he rose to leave. The door opened with a cold blast and Denethor entered. He looked over the room quickly, and seeing Thorongil, came to his table.
"I was hoping to come upon you here. Have a drink with me, Commander." Thorongil settled back into his seat. Nell settled a glass of amber brandy before Denethor and a new pot of steaming tea before the commander.
"You spent some time in Dol Amroth. I've never had that pleasure," Denethor began.
"Yes, the family was most kind to me. Prince Adrahil was wise and learned. His passing will be sorely felt by the people of Belfalas."
"Aye, so Father says. The son is a true military leader, not the diplomat his father was." Denethor seemed to drink for courage. "What of Finduilas?"
"She is quite young, but has been raised a princess. She has a kind heart." Thorongil studied Denethor closely, intrigued by his interest.
"She seems given to fancy. The lady lives in a dream."
"But it is a pleasant dream."
"She is quite lovely," said Denethor.
"A true beauty." Thorongil agreed.
"A match with the House of the Steward will bring strength and prestige to a waning house." Thorongil did not comment on what he believed was a pompous statement by Denethor. The Steward's son drained his glass and rose.
"Good night, Commander."
"Good night, my lord." Denethor left Thorongil sitting at the table much later than was his wont, wondering at their enigmatic conversation.
Snow fell gently the next evening when Fallon appeared to collect Thorongil and Quillion for dinner. In spite of his protests, Fallon herded the commander out of the office, up through the city, and across the broad walkway of the Citadel guesthouse. A pair of sentries in the blue livery of Dol Amroth swung open the doors. The prince's seneschal was waiting. He sneered down his nose at the soldiers, especially the scapegrace boy. With haughtiness worthy of a son of Fëanor, he ushered them into the main salon, Quillion trailing behind, stared at most everything, his manners long forgotten. The boy's eyes were already big from taking in the snobbish properness and impeccable formality of the princess's servants. The Yule festivities with their finery, food, and elegance could prove overwhelming to the youngster, Thorongil mused, making a mental note to find Quillion quiet activities away from the pageantry to balance out the excitement of the week.
The door reopened quickly and Finduilas rushed in. She went straight to Fallon. Dressed in a jeweled lavender dinner gown, she looked quite changed from the young girl Thorongil remembered. She carried herself with elegance, every bit a princess. Her body was that of a woman now, but she remained quite petite, her head barely reaching Fallon's shoulder. She caught Fallon's hands and their shared look made Thorongil clear his throat before he witnessed something he ought not. The lady blushed prettily.
"Oh, my lord! I am so glad you could come! And Sir Quillion, welcome!" she exclaimed, taking the boy's hand. The door opened admitting the prince. He guided a tall, ebony-haired woman, his arm possessively through hers. Thorongil had forgotten about the betrothal between Dol Amroth and Lossernach. The prince's fiancée, Lady Calarinda, was a noblewoman of the southern Dúnedain. At first acquaintance, this branch of the descendents of Numenor seemed to be unassuming vassals of Gondor, holding fiefs in the Steward's name, but they were as secretive in their activities against the threat from Mordor as their Northern kin was. Thorongil avoided meeting them whenever he could since they zealously recognized the chieftain of the Dúnedain as the true king of Gondor. In his few encounters with them, he had discovered they had an uncanny ability to divine who he really was.
Thorongil hoped he would pass her notice He bowed over the lady's hand and she casually glanced at him. But, he had forgotten the star of eagles pin on the left breast of his dress uniform. Her grey eyes widened and suddenly she dropped into a magnificently deep curtsy.
"Aranya i Nunatani!*" she breathed in awe and somehow she was pressing her lips to his hand.
"Why, no, my lady. You mistake me for another." Embarrassed, Thorongil all but hauled her forcibly to her feet. This was a most inopportune time for the lady to pay him homage. The prince was staring in astonishment at his lady, sure she had suddenly gone daft. Fallon had one brow raised in question to him, but the beatific smiles of Finduilas and Quillion showed they felt he had just gotten his rightful respect. The lady read his expression and recovered quickly.
"I am terribly sorry for my faux pas, Commander. I mistook you for another---kin of mine from the North." Her cheeks were dusky and she begged everyone's pardon for her silliness.
They went in to dinner. It was a glittering affair with several courses. Although Finduilas had a place set for him, Quillion took up his self-appointed post behind the commander's chair. Thorongil long ago gave up trying to get him to go to the kitchens at these formal dinners and eat there. Tonight, Thorongil could almost hear his squire's stomach growl as each course was set and removed. As the servant brought around the fruit and sweets, Thorongil whispered to her to have a plate made up for Quillion. She bobbed a curtsey and nodded, saying it would be the cook's pleasure for Master Quillion.
Thorongil was sure it would. Quillion had charmed most of the Steward's household staff and never failed to stop at the kitchens for a sweet when he went on an errand to the Citadel.
The dinner ended with small confections molded to look like walnuts and acorns. Quillion gasped at their sugary beauty. Thorongil surreptitiously swept one off his plate and handed it to the boy. He immediately popped it in his mouth and his eyes filled with ecstasy.
"Do you get used to that?" Imrahil gestured to Quillion, speaking in a way some adults had as if the boy was beneath their notice. Thorongil ordered his squire off to the kitchens and since Quillion felt his duties as protector had ended with desert, he scampered off to visit the kindly cook and her staff.
"I humor him. He thinks he is my personal guard, sworn to keep me safe."
"It seems a bother to me," said the prince. Thorongil laughed.
"Did you not ever dream you were Gil-galad's page when you were his age?" Thorongil asked, thinking of his own childhood fantasies. He had spent much of his boyhood pretending he was Elrohir's squire and that elf-lord good-naturedly had humored him.
"By Ulmo, no! The elves were Finduilas' fantasy. Since I had to learn to rule, I never had time to imagine I was anything else but prince of the realm," the pragmatic Imrahil admitted.
Later they all sat in the comfortable main room of the guesthouse, sharing pleasantries. Thorongil hoped the group had forgotten the awkward, before-dinner incident but he had caught the Lady Calarinda several times at dinner staring at him. As the group fell into story telling, as most evening gatherings did for entertainment, she returned to the topic of his identity.
"Commander," she began from her seat to his right. "Forgive me again for my mistake. But your brooch---"
"----is a family heirloom," he revealed, his eyes meeting hers.
"Of course." She was quiet and then she asked them all. "Since I have been so foolish this evening, I should ask if you know the story of our last Dúnedain chieftain?" She turned to the entire group. "I see the commander carries the blood of the Numenoreans by his looks and his token, but not even all of my kinsmen know the tale." Imrahil groaned softly. Finduilas glanced threateningly at him and quickly encouraged her to tell the tale, her eyes sparkling. Thorongil could but smile and shake his head. "My mother's oldest cousin, Lady Gilraen, wed Arathorn, who was the last recognized Northern chieftain, many years ago. Both traced their lineage directly to Isildur and it was foretold their son would be the king that is to come again. However, one day while hunting orcs, Lord Arathorn was killed in the forests south of Amon Sul. Gilraen and her babe---their son---disappeared that same day. That must have been nearly fifty years ago. No one knows what happened to them. Some say they were spirited away by the Eldar to the long-lost city of Gondolin; some say they were carried away by raiding orcs deep into the mountains to the stronghold of Gundabad and suffered terrible deaths. The mystery of the child and his mother remains today. So it seemed the line of Isildur ended, the Dúnedain were without a leader, and Gondor would never again see a king upon the throne." She paused for dramatic effect. "But, over the years, there have been stories that the Dúnadan is alive: a young man returned to Fornost, a warrior riding against the orcs, a healer haunting the greenwood with our Eldar brethren. If this be true, legend says the Dúnadan will appear again when we need him most. He will ride into Minas Tirith at the head of a vast army finally to defeat our enemies. He will possess the ability to command the undying loyalty of the troops and he will possess the hands of a healer. The Dark Lord will be overthrown and there will be peace in all the lands." Calarinda told her story well and the spellbound room was silent. Then the prince snorted softly.
"My dearest, it is a lovely tale, one fit for elven-halls. But, it is almost definite knowledge that the boy and his mother were killed by orcs. I remember my father telling of the messenger who brought the news. The line of Isildur has indeed died out," Imrahil said with some impatience, "except in my lovely lady's mind." He raised her hand to his lips. "My dear, you've told that story many times…"
"I have never heard this tale," Fallon interrupted. The captain bore a puzzled frown. "Legend says the Dúnadan, the chieftain of the North, is the returning King? The King of Gondor?" Calarinda nodded. "So, in truth," Fallon continued, unwilling to give up his unanswered question, "if the child died, there will never be a king to sit the throne in Minas Tirith?"
"There will never be another king in Gondor," Imrahil flippantly replied, "unless your brother decides to crown himself." Fallon was shaking his head in disbelief. Calarinda and Finduilas looked hurt at such blasphemy. Returned from the kitchens and perched on a stool at Thorongil's side, Quillion's eyes were the size of Gondorian coins, staring in fascination at the lady.
"There has never been evidence the child died," Thorongil said softly, hearing an undertone of something akin to panic in Fallon's voice and meaning to salve his captain's fears. "Have hope. The King will come again."
"Soon?" Quillion piped up from his seat, taking any word uttered by his master as absolute. "Will he come soon?"
"Not soon enough for Calarinda," Imrahil jested. "Though if he came, I'd welcome him: then we'd finally be done with the tale. Its popularity in my house is only shadowed by the one of Finduilas and the pirate, though begging your pardon, Commander, that one was at least real."
"How will he be recognized?" Fallon asked doggedly. He seemed obsessed with the idea. "How again will anyone know he is the king, Calarinda?"
The lady warmed to her new audience and Thorongil groaned again at her wealth of information. She, indeed, must be a cousin. "He, of course, will be tall and dark, grey-eyed as are all the descendents of the West---as the Steward's house mostly is, and Dol Amroth also. His gaze will command all who behold it; its power will demand immediate fealty. He will be a healer, learned in lore and legend, comfortable with both men and Elves. He will bear the blade Narsil, Elendil's sword, reforged, and wear the serpent ring of Barahir, a silver circle with a fiery green stone." Quillion sucked in his breath suddenly and inhaled the cider Finduilas had poured for him.
The coughing fit and Finduila's helpful back-thumping that followed broke the spell of Calarinda's story-telling. When he was able to breathe once more, Thorongil caught Quillion staring at him. His squire was trustworthy and loyal to a fault, but had all the curiosity of the young. He suspected his squire had made careful study of the contents in the chests in his rooms and knew exactly where that particular ring could be found. Before Quillion could recover fully and blurt out something untoward, the conversation moved to safer topics.
Later, Thorongil walked with Imrahil along the garden gallery, preparing to leave. Finduilas and Fallon had stolen away for a few minutes alone, and Calarinda had bid him good night earlier. Quillion, stuffed with food by the kitchen staff, plopped on the steps leading down to the gardens, now dead in the winter cold, to wait.
"My lord," began the prince directly, "what do you think of the Steward's son, Denethor? If I might be so blunt." They paced along together, breath silver vapor in the moonlight.
"He is a fine commander. He will be a fine Steward when the time comes," Thorongil replied honestly.
"I rode with him some years ago when we were both in training. He has become very grim since then. The man needs a focus other than defense of this city---a family perhaps." Imrahil leaned against the terrace wall. "My sister would make a fine wife for any man." Thorongil raised a brow, curious at the track this conversation was taking.
"She is beautiful and accomplished," he agreed hearing echoes of his responses to Denethor the night before.
"She needs a husband who is strong. She needs guidance. Father was always a steadying influence on her."
"She needs a husband who loves her," Thorongil advised. Imrahil stood for a moment, made as if to speak again, and then bid Thorongil good night. The commander watched the prince go inside, pondering his words.
"My lord?" He turned at the sound. It was Lady Calarinda in a hooded cloak. She stepped forward out of the shadow. "Before you leave…my story of the Dúnadan…I apologize for any insult my fiancé may have unknowingly given. Imrahil doesn't do well with fancy or legend but he is a good man and a fine leader." She looked chagrined. "I also apologize for myself, if my enthusiasm in the telling in any way caused you…" she trailed off.
"There was no offense taken, lady. We all can be mistaken in our perceptions. And," he smiled down at her, "some of us cannot always be who those around us would have us be."
"May Varda light your way, Aranya!" She whispered and in the starlight, he saw the awe gleam in her eyes. He turned away without answering, and collecting a tired Quillion, started down the stairs to the walkway below. Fallon met them at the bottom. He was silent for much of the walk home. As they near the tunnel on the fourth level, he finally spoke and his voice held a note of hopelessness.
"What if Lady Calarinda's story is true? Then we fight on without purpose, dwindling slowly under the evil of the Enemy until the last Gondorian is killed! There will never again be a king in Minas Tirith, there will never be an overthrow of the Darkness." Thorongil stopped abruptly and caught his shoulder, turning to face him, their eyes meeting in the starlight. Fallon felt great power in the commander's gaze, and comfort also.
"We fight for Gondor, king or no king. We fight to keep the White City and all of Middle Earth free from the dark powers of Sauron. Captain, we fight with a purpose. There will be an overthrow of darkness and freedom for our people." Most, even brave soldiers, did not dare whisper the name of the dark lord even in broad daylight, and a shiver ran through Fallon's body. He heard the power and purpose in his commander's voice and, as if governed by those silver eyes, nodded his agreement. As they continued toward home, he felt his spirits lift. Fallon decided, with a smile on his face, he rued the day the dark lord might face Thorongil; he rued it for the dark lord.

We are delighted with the work
I just wanted to write and say how delighted we are with the work Jamie did for us last week. There is a noticeable difference in the way the house feels, and it has made a huge improvement already in that I'm not having to put the heating on during the day. The house retains a lot more warmth downstairs. Also, my son's room is much warmer at night now, so he's sleeping better and not waking up chilly in the night.
Jamie was fantastic, punctual, polite and clearly an expert at what he does. He talked me through everything he did at length and made sure I was completely happy with everything before leaving at the end of each day. He was so professional, and we look forward to seeing him again.

Join Chris Buck for a signing of his book Presence: The Invisible Portrait.
Presence is a counter-intuitive, conceptual, and thoroughly entertaining take on the search for celebrity. Photographer Chris Buck hides his famous subjects without the use of digital manipulation in this perverse take on power portraits. The book features 50 sittings, including Robert De Niro, Günter Grass, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Chuck Close, Cindy Sherman, Russell Brand, Snoop Dogg, Nick Cave, and David Lynch.
Chris Buck has been a professional photographer for more than 20 years. Hailing from Canada and now based in New York and Los Angeles, he shoots for such clients as GQ, Esquire, Microsoft, and IBM. His roster of subjects comprises some of the leading actors, artists, and historical figures of our time. His mastery of—and uniqueness within—the world of celebrity portraiture prompted the legendary Esquire cover designer George Lois to say of his editorial portraits, "Every Chris Buck photo is a mystery, a pervading, off-putting idea, always conceptual, often visceral, and sometimes unfathomable."
Please note that due to professional obligations, photographer's book signing dates may change without notification. Limit of two signed copies per customer. Pre-orders and reserve orders are not guaranteed but every effort is made to fulfill orders. Books must be purchased from the ICP Store. If purchased before date of event, please bring your receipt.

This error was first reported here.
If an author used the story drop-down menu from the Author Toolbox on the story overview page in My Stuff, clicked on the "Edit Story" button for the retrieved story, performed any edit on the story, and clicked to update the story, she would end up on a mostly blank story overview page stating the story could not be located.
The problem occurred because the drop-down menu in the Author Toolbox removes the URL query string from the story overview page, which was used to bring the author back to the overview after an update. The information has been supplied through another mechanism and now the updated story will be found after update.

Rezoning Chesley Hill Road for multifamily homes debated
Saturday, April 20, 2013
ROCHESTER — The Planning Board has been asked to consider rezoning an area of Chesley Hill Road to allow for multifamily development there.
McNeil also emphasized the development would not involve workforce or Section 8 housing, and that market-rate multifamily housing is in demand in the city, particularly with new workers expected to move into Rochester to work at the new manufacturing plants of Albany Engineered Composites and Safran.
Benoit said Chesley Hill Road consists primarily of single-family homes, and multifamily housing would not fit the character of the neighborhood. He said rezoning the property in question would be "spot zoning" to benefit one landowner. He said that while architectural designs look good on plans, those plans are not guaranteed, as the property owner may sell the land to a different developer in the future and the project shown to the Planning Board may not materialize.
Lachapelle said while the city does need the type of development shown in the plans proposed for Chesley Hill Road, that type of multifamily housing should not be in the midst of the R1, single family-oriented zone.

CulverCityCosmo Dec 09 '77
I am starting this thread patterned after one I saw in another format that really helped honest Commishes and players find each other and avoid those who bend and or break the rules, cheat, partake in dishonest doings and generally run leagues you will want to avoid.
Today's first recipient of the Cosmo Award of Dishonor goes to:
Legends of the Game(Michael)- Had him and his friends keep all Elite players while picking lesser players for the teams wihout owners yet before then dropping all the non keepers back to the pool so they may have the best selection to choose from. Players like J Weaver, Pence, Shields, Upton and cargo were left off keepers while oneteam kept Trumbo, Martin and Moreland. All for the sake of having to win to look good. Sad. GLA
TheHenchman Mar 10 '78
I've read all about this commish and his ways but I'll say this ? I think he's gotten a bad rap here myself first off thye 2 owners complaining were abusive themselves with foul language towards the commish numerous times in fact thus far all season. I've read some message boards in some of the leagues he's in and I'll say this for him wow seems like he did in fact send out emails about rule changes and then ask but recieved NO reply from anyone ??. Now after reading this message board I see his point about 2 people with the same ID's here who wish to complain in order to cover their own tracks and throw blame on another ?. Again wow . Now I'm in some of his leagues currently and I'll say this I had only 1 problem and thats was last year about a new roster and adding bench players mid way through the season and I disagreed with this change myself but he said others agreed to it ..OK oh well . The bench in question went from 6 to 10 players alittle much with huge rosters too ??. I always read most leagues and then after I take over a team I ask commish about rules or any variations in this league or others myself personally so I think it's a good practice to have especially in some of these leagues . So what I wish to say in closing is don't judge until you have time to be judge and as for bptom and bubbatee I agree their one in the same person just a small fact neither can message at or close to the same time as the other that alone tells me all I need to know . Thanks all
Upanddown Mar 10 '78
Your kidding too right i was in a league with this three changes a week. I did 3 and added a player for a dl and got wiped of a win. No thanks you make rules then change them then dont follow them .
If he wants to win that bad good luck to him. Its no coinsidence people are writing about the same person it must be everyone elses fault
CulverCityCosmo Mar 10 '78
TY for your input.
BPTom Mar 18 '78
This is for the Henchman and anyone else who reads this. I believe that the Henchman and the commish are not only the same person but the commish may have multiple teams in this very league. Apparently the commish has kicked me out of that league as of this morning after futile attempts to try and go through Fleaflicker to have him removed from multiple violations of his own rules.....
Henchman (commish or whoever you are) - get the facts straight before you try and post something. First, READ what I posted in here and in the league - I have never been vulgar in what I wrote, Bubbatee on the other hand, has been, but he's the one being screwed and I'm defending him because he wasn't being treated fairly and didn't violate any rules AT ALL but the commish felt threatened because he was undefeated at the time and had his points for the week taken away unjustly by the league commish - then I had my points taken because I defended Bubbatee being screwed. I DID NOT at any time violates his rules or rule changes.. The rules set after the league started was that we could not use more than 3 roster moves per week, not including DL's. Team Chin Music (Bubbatee) was within the rules last week using 3 moves plus a DL and yet the commish took his weekly points away.
Second and for the last time, get it through your head. I didn't have 2 ID's in the league. I had an ID when I joined up for basketball leagues last year and then updated my information before baseball started. That is not having 2 ID's, but the commish in trying to cover his wrongdoings looked for anything to steer away from his actions and tried to point the finger at me.
And you think the commish got a bad rap? Read about him in this entire forum and HE got a bad rap? You are as clueless and stupid as the commish. If there's anyone that got a bad rap, it's groups of people:
1. Anyone who is in a league with (what I feel to be) the WORST commish in all of fantasy sports, and...
2. Fleaflicker for not defending their credibility against this guy.
My highest recommendation for anyone is never get in a league with this commish (Mike or Michael depending on the league) and hope that he fades away, but as long as Fleaflicker allows his wrongful actions, he'll be around....
CulverCityCosmo Mar 18 '78
TY Tom. Exactly why I have this thread going. Obviously, we sometimes never know the WHOLE truth, but when you see enough signs and multiple people report issues with the same Commish, the light bulb goes on. At least this area will give you cause to pause and make informed decisions. With so many leagues out there, why would you need all the drama. In all my years I have seen some unreal things done and I think it's obvious that some people, including this Commish, just feel the need to do anything they want to win...a power trip sort of. TY for your input.
BPTom Mar 18 '78
Thank you, Cosmo...I was hoping to stay in that league long enough to see that commish get his just desserts but that won't happen. I would love to get that guy in a league that he's not the commish and see what a horrible fantasy player he is for real. I mean, before any of this commish stuff happened he was 3-6 in his own league. That in itself speaks volumes....anyway, thanks for the avenue to be vocal...
Kellyridgeal Mar 21 '78
BP Tom. Record is not a tool to judge a team. Seems like your not happy, I am sorry. He, as well as myself suffered many DL problems. Stuck to our rosters, and made the most. One and the same, realize Flea Flicker passed over your complain't about Mish and myself being one. I will look over these forums, as needed, to make sure any such implications are dealt with. Kelly
CulverCityCosmo Mar 21 '78
No, it's not, but obvious cheating IS. He motivated me to start this "blog" due to his undeniable attempt to cheat. I have witnessed it first hand. You may not be able to prove if two people are the same, bit was clear he tried to cheat by stocking poor players on teams that weren't even owned yet while elite stars were still available in the pool. Teams that had these stars last year were dropped for lesser players in order to make his team better. And I saw this done in multiple leagues. I set this up so people can be warned beforehand about wasting a lot of time and energy going into bad situations w/o their knowledge.
BPTom Mar 22 '78
Kelly - you are as clueless and ignorant as the commish. I'm not happy with the gutless commish that's in that league and should be banished.
Anyway, his record most certainly judges his abilities - he's the one who was hawking about how important is to draft a good team and not rely on the waiver wire....and he was 3-6, the defense rests.
Second, I never sent anything to Fleaflicker about you the commish and you being one person. The only things I sent to Fleaflicker was complaints about the commish's chaeting methods of "running" a league and clearing the fact that I was accused of having 2 ID's and that Bubbatee and myself were the same person and Fleaflicker cleared me of that false accusation made by your commish.
And finally, Kelly, don't bother looking over the forums and make"any such implications are dealt with"...as co-commish in the league, you should have stepped to the plate and didn't, so you're just as guilty....
TheHenchman Mar 23 '78
Well ...you never said anything about your actions on a daily postings ? repeately you said things to a guy that was open to fixing it but you after numerous times just gave your mouth . If fact he emailed me about fixing it but then recieved 2 more messages from you about him on a personal level . things happen you can say what you want but I will say this I know of him very little and will help in leagues when I can for him . We can go on and on about this topic but in all actual events you were wrong for your actions and if you wish to know it was me that said boot him out now please !
CulverCityCosmo Mar 23 '78
TY for your input Henchman. Ok, if you please all, I think we have heard enough about this subject and are getting away from the reason for this posting. TY All.
TheHenchman Mar 24 '78
I agree with you culver . I would like to add seems that most here have taken this forum to bashing others rather then come to solutions to a rather small problem . Further note that some who like to complain for the most part ?. I will say this on my behaf that I've been in some leagues with him and I see no problem and think he gets a bad rap from some who like to munipulate the rules and have seem it on the postings daily . Why not ask him rather then bash all the time ....its the best way to go ..I think ?.
TheHenchman Mar 24 '78
I was in that same league there brad . I'll say this for ya might want to tell the whole story rather then just your side of it . You did in fact abuse the rule numerous times and I say it was for spite myself . Then when your points were gone you took the road of abuse of language rather then ask ?. Kinda funny very easy to solve a problem rather then argue about it ..huh?
TheHenchman Mar 24 '78
Lets face facts here ..you have an axe to grind and yet stuck around even after you got punch out 3x and the last time I asked him to take you out because I was sick of you consistant messages everyday and in some cases hourly . Get a job or find another hobby .
BPTom Mar 24 '78
Last thing - I didn't do anything wrong. I was defending a guy who had his points taken away and then my points were taken away because I spoke up....If you like that kind of league, go for it and I hope you enjoy what you're doing....but if you ever see me in another league and you think about joining, keep walking....
BPTom Mar 24 '78
Culver - apologize for the way the discussions went, I just fight for what I believe is right and when I get **** thrown at me, I throw it right back.
Anyway, it has been repeatedly reported and documented that this commish has done his leagues wrong and I highly recommend anyone who reads this not waste your time or efforts in joining any league that he is part of.
CulverCityCosmo Mar 24 '78
OK PLEASE...no more of this. We can go on forever, she said, he said, etc. Please let's move on to reporting other abuses of Commissioners. TY for your understanding.

"The Oncologist" is the official journal of the Society for Translational Oncology.
Read article.]]>
Band members – who include UNC's own John Boggess, MD, and John Soper, MD, are all gynecologic oncologists, and they rock out to raise awareness about the cancers they treat.
Read article.]]>
"I found myself connecting with the head and neck cancer patients. This cancer is challenging, and UNC has a great team led by Dr. Mark Weissler, one of my surgical mentors and a great doctor. "
Dr. Hayes is also involved in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a scientific network funded by the National Institutes of Health. Scientific teams, including UNC's, have recently reported new molecular analyses of several tumor types, including breast, lung and colon cancers. Their findings will shape current and future cancer therapy.
Dr. Hayes believes that one key to UNC's successful grant application to become part of TCGA was the University Cancer Research Fund. "UCRF is filling a critical niche for us at UNC. We've got great scientists, we've got great minds, but no matter how great your science is, there are very few opportunities to build infrastructure of science: the technology that allows us to ask questions with the newest tools."
"There are not many ways to do that unless you have institutional support. One of the institutions we can turn to is the citizens of the state of North Carolina through our government. We've asked if cancer research is important to North Carolina, and the citizens in our legislatures have said that cancer research is important for many reasons, and they've supported it. We feel a sacred trust to return on that investment."
Dr. Hayes describes why he decided to complete a Masters in Public Health. "In medical school where I got exposed to epidemiology and statistics related to translational medicine and patient care, I saw how I could bring these things closer together. I could determine if the research I did was relevant because I was doing research on patients and patient questions using scientific techniques and that led me to do some extra training and get my MPH. "
Dr. Hayes chose to join the UNC faculty in 2004. "I'm from North Carolina, so that was a draw. What's special about UNC is it's one of the few places where you have everything you need in terms of working environment and facilities, and there is wiggle room for you to establish yourself in a niche and develop your own career. It's a really unique place."
And of his clinical practice, he says, "There are so many rewarding aspects of being a physician, but I certainly like the fact that at the end of the week I almost always feel like something that I did was relevant and made a difference to somebody, and that's very rewarding."
Dr. Hayes is a Davidson graduate, a UNC School of Medicine graduate and completed a Masters in Public Health at Harvard University, an internship at Boston University School of Medicine, a clinical fellowship at Tufts University Medical Center and a postdoctoral fellowship at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Dr. Hayes and his wife, Dr. Liza Makowski, an assistant professor of nutrition in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and member of UNC Lineberger, have two sons and live in Chapel Hill.]]>
The segment, which aired December 13, 2012, highlighted "Caregiver Conversations," a support group for caregivers of cancer patients that meets twice a month. It is a time for caregivers to meet and share stories through planned topics and social activities.
Ryan Keith and Kathy Roundtree discussed the benefits of having this kind of support available.
"Caregiver Conversations" meets the second Tuesday and fourth Thursday of each month in the Patient and Family Resource Center at the N.C. Cancer Hospital.
For more information, call the UNC Comprehensive Cancer Support Program at 919-966-3494.
As program leader, Dr. Ribisl will coordinate program member effort and related Cancer Center resources that facilitate faculty research. He will work with Dr. Andy Olshan, the UNC Lineberger Associate Director for Population Sciences, and other Cancer Center senior leaders to understand all aspects of the cancer program in North Carolina and to develop novel cancer prevention, early detection, and survivorship research efforts as part of the larger UNC Lineberger mission.
Shelley Earp, MD, director of UNC Lineberger and UNC Cancer Care, said, "Dr. Ribisl has built a nationally-recognized program focused on tobacco control policy and product regulation and innovative applications of information technology for discouraging tobacco use. His well-funded research program supports novel interventions in the State and has been a magnet for graduate students in the School of Public Health. The impact of his work, particularly projects aimed at preventing youth smoking, has been felt nationally. He is an outstanding researcher with a collaborative style and will be a great asset to both the Cancer Center and the outstanding faculty members who make up his Program."
Dr. Ribisl was co-recruited by UNC Lineberger and the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health in 1999. He now holds the rank of professor in the Department of Health Behavior. Since 2004, he has served as the Director of the UNC Coordinating Center for the CDC- and NCI-funded Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network, which includes over 180 investigators and staff at 10 leading universities. He is a federally appointed member of the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Association and serves as principal investigator on numerous grants from the National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services.
He earned an undergraduate degree at Wake Forest University and an MA and PhD at Michigan State University. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Stanford Center for Research in Disease Prevention at the Stanford University School of Medicine.]]>
"His scientific accomplishments are matched by his outstanding mastery of clinical medicine, molecular genetics and animal modeling, as well as his passion for making life better for cancer patients. In addition, he is a scientific entrepreneur and one of UNC's most sought-after teachers and mentors," Earp added.
In his new role, Dr. Sharpless will be responsible for guiding the Center's scientific agenda across the basic, clinical and population sciences. He will also lead the strategic planning process setting the direction for the 2014-2020 time frame, in preparation for the Center's 2015 NCI grant renewal. His previous role at the cancer center was Associate Director for Translational Research.
Dr. Sharpless, a Greensboro native, was a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina where he studied mathematics as an undergraduate. He graduated with honors and distinction from the UNC School of Medicine, followed by internal medicine training at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston. He completed his hematology and oncology training at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, also at Harvard Medical School. After finishing his clinical training, Dr. Sharpless completed a research postdoctoral fellowship at the Dana-Farber, prior to joining the faculty at Harvard Medical School in 2000. Dr. Sharpless returned to UNC in 2002.
In addition to his clinical work as a physician, Dr. Sharpless runs a 17 person basic science laboratory that studies cancer and aging. He is co-leader of the Molecular Therapeutics Program, co-founder and co-director of the UNC Mouse Phase I Unit, and Associate Director of the UNC Center for Aging and Health. He has authored more than 100 original reports, reviews and book chapters, and is an inventor of 10 patents.
His lab has received support from the Sidney Kimmel Foundation for Cancer Research; the American Federation of Aging Research; the William Guy Forbeck Research Foundation; the Golfers Against Cancer Foundation; the Breast Cancer Research Foundation; the Paul Glenn Foundation; and the Ellison Medical Foundation. He is supported by a Clinical Scientist in Translational Research Award from the Burroughs-Wellcome Fund. He is on the scientific advisory board of several scientific foundations and is an associate editor of Aging Cell and Impact Aging, and is the Deputy Editor of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. He was the 2007 recipient of the Jefferson Pilot Award, the 2009 recipient of the Hettleman Prize for Scholarly Achievement, a 2010 recipient of a Glenn Award for Research in Biological Mechanisms of Aging, a 2012 Triangle Business Journal Health Care Hero, and is a member of the American Society of Clinical Investigation (ASCI), the nation's oldest honor society for physician-scientists. He has been elected to serve on the ASCI council from 2011 to 2014.]]>
The award recognizes Innocenti's research into the effectiveness and toxicity of chemotherapy by integrating clinical genomic investigation with functional evaluation of genetic variation. Using this approach, Innocenti and his collaborators determined the genetic basis of severe neutropenia, a white blood cell deficiency experienced by cancer patients treated with the drug irinotecan. This work led to a revision of the FDA labeling of irinotecan. He is also the co-inventor of an FDA-approved genetic test for patients treated with irinotecan.
Innocenti joined the UNC faculty in 2011. Previously, he had spent 12 years researching cancer pharmacogenetics at the University of Chicago, where he also directed the pharmacology course for the Pritzker School of Medicine. He received his MD from the University of Pisa and is the author of more than 85 journal articles and book chapters, serves as the sole associate editor of Pharmacogenomics and is one of the associate editors of Frontiers in Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics. He also sits on the editorial board of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Pharmacogenetics and Genomics, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, Current Drug Metabolism, and others.]]>

In an article published on-line in a November issue of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, the UNC and Harvard teams discovered that modification of Ras at a specific site with a small protein known as ubiquitin can also lock Ras into an active signaling state. Thus, modification of Ras with a single ubiquitin – a process known as monoubiquitination - switches Ras to an active signaling state by disrupting the action of another protein known as the GTPase activating protein, or GAP. Work by two of the papers co-authors, Atsuo Sasaki and Lewis Cantley of Harvard, had previously found evidence for Ras's potential to become activated and promote Ras-mediated tumorigenesis by monoubiquitination.
Because of the strong link between Ras and cancer, Ras should be an attractive target for drug discovery efforts. Despite considerable efforts at developing treatments targeting the protein, Ras itself is now considered to be 'undruggable', leading researchers to try new approaches to developing drugs that target activated Ras. This could lead to benefits beyond cancer therapies, as the RAS gene has also been linked to developmental disorders such as Noonan syndrome, Costello syndrome and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome.
Lead researcher Rachael Baker, a PhD candidate doing joint work in the labs of Henrik Dohlman, PhD, professor of pharmacology and vice chair of biochemistry and biophysics and Sharon Campbell, PhD, professor of biochemistry and biophysics at UNC, developed a novel method to modify Ras with ubiquitin and then subsequently characterized how ubiquitin modification can lead to Ras activation.
The attachment of ubiquitin to Ras at a specific site leads to Ras activation, much like with an oncogenic mutation, leading to an increased potential for cancer formation. Baker notes that the reaction can be reversed by enzymes in the cell that remove ubiquitin, making these enzymes possible targets for future pharmaceutical research.
"Establishing how Ras is activated by ubiquitin is just the first step in understanding this novel mechanism of cellular regulation." said Campbell.
The researchers next step will be to obtain a more detailed understanding of its role in cancer progression, first in cells and in animals and eventually in cancer patients.
Research was done in conjunction with Brian Kuhlman and Steven Lewis in the UNC Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. The work was supported by NIH grants R01CA089614 (S.L.C.), R01GM073180–06S1 (H.G.D.), R01GM073960 and R01GM073151, and R01GM41890 and P01CA117969 (L.C.C.), the Program in Molecular and Cellular Biophysics and NIH grant T32GM008570, the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science Research Fellowship for Research Abroad, Kanae Foundation for Research Abroad and a Genentech Fellowship.]]>
Proper regulation of the X chromosome plays a crucial role in mammalian development. Females inherit a pair of X chromosomes from their parents, and the process of X-inactivation shuts down one of these two Xs.
"Males have XY. Females have two Xs. One of those Xs needs to get shut off. If it does not, it's not compatible with life. It's how we have evolved to equalize doses between males and females," said Calabrese.
While the manner in which the X chromosome is deactivated has been actively studied for 50 years, the exact mechanisms that regulate the process remain a mystery. Calabrese's research used high-throughput sequencing to determine the location and activity of chromosomes with far greater accuracy than previous research.
"Basically, this is using the sequencing technology as a high resolution microscope," said Calabrese.
Under a microscope, the inactive X chromosome (Xi) appears as a cloud-like structure, because it is covered with a non-coding RNA known as Xist. In the traditional model of X-inactivation, genes located inside the cloud are completely silenced, with 15 percent of the genes from the inactive X chromosomes escaping to become active.
"The prevailing thought was that genes that escaped X inactivation were pulled out of the core and expressed out there," said Calabrese.
The work of Calabrese's team complicates the current model of X-inactivation by finding indications of gene activity inside the Xist cloud and the presence of inactive genes outside the cloud, both of which would not have been thought possible in the prevailing model.
"It's kind of a subtle thing, but mechanistically it is a big difference," said Calabrese.
Inside the Xist cloud, sequencing discovered traces of DNase I sensitivity, a feature usually linked to transcription activity. While other markers associated with transcription were absent, the presence of DNase I sensitivity suggested that the nucleus did recognize the inactive X as usable DNA, but an unknown suppressive mechanism was preventing genes from being activated.
"We were surprised to see that. If they were totally silent, you would expect this to be not there… This suggests that transcription factors or other proteins that bind DNA are still accessing the inactive X," said Calabrese.
The other surprising findings involve the 15 percent of "escaper" genes from the inactive X. Calabrese found evidence that active genes were found both inside and outside the Xist cloud, and that silenced genes that lay alongside active genes outside of the Xist cloud remained inactive.
"If X-inactivation was a strict nuclear barrier, then pulling a gene outside the barrier would turn it on, but it has got to be more than that because when an inactivated gene that is beside an escaper is outside this domain, it is still turned off," said Calabrese.
The presence of DNase I sensitivity within the Xist cloud and the finding of inactive genes outside of the cloud suggest that a site-specific mechanism is regulating genes on the chromosome in a more subtle way than the binary "on/off" function posited by the prevailing model. The exact mechanism for this remains unknown. Although Calabrese believes that Xist still plays a role, its exact function and whether other factors influence X-inactivation remain questions for future research.
"We know that Xist is required to turn off the inactive X. We know that. We have no idea how" said Calabrese.
Beyond revising the understanding of how X-inactivation works, Calabrese said that deeper understanding of the function of Xist could reveal more about the role of other non-coding RNAs in cellular development. These RNAs could become useful targets for future therapies and drug development.
"We know that too much expression of the wrong non-coding RNAs can lead to cancer. Also, forced expression of other non-coding RNAs can prevent cancer. Generally, we do not know how these RNAs work," said Calabrese.]]>

Violinist Thomas Zehetmair whose recent Paganini recording from St. Gerold met with overwhelming critical acclaim last year and violist Ruth Killius have shared many years as musical collaborators in the Zehetmair quartet. The couples spectacular duo performance at last autumns ECM festival in Mannheim raised the expectactions for their new programme, a carefully composed anthology of contemporary pieces for violin and viola. Next to Bohuslav Martinůs virtuosic and accessible Madrigals, written in 1946 in American exile, the central piece here is Drei Skizzen by Heinz Holliger, a triptychon with the instruments tuned in the scordatura of Mozarts fomous Sinfonia concertante for violin, viola and orchestra. It was commissioned by the duo as an encore piece for their frequent renderings of Mozarts masterworks on the concert platform. Its first movement Pirouetts harmoniques is entirely based on shimmering harmonics, whereas the second one is an exuberant perpetuum mobile. The cycle concludes with a six-part chorale that requires both string players to hum an extra voice. This idea, which is realised by the duo to a most stunning effect effect, was itself inspired by Giancinto Scelsis solo piece Manto for a singing viola player. The programme is complemented by compositions by Nikos Skalkottas, Béla Bartók and short pieces by Rainer Killius and Johannes Nied.

Bones has never shied away from the quirky or unorthodox, but the FOX drama's 150th episode, "The Ghost in the Machine," was particularly unique: The entire episode was shot from the point of view of the skull of a 14-year-old boy whose murder the Jeffersonian gang was investigating — and it worked.
The death of a kid hit close to home for Booth, Brennan, Angela and Hodges, being new parents and all (and father of a boy who's approaching that age, in Booth's case). But it took on extra meaning when Cyndi Lauper's psychic character, Avalon, returned to tell the group that the child's spirit was still lurking around on Earth. If they solved his murder, maybe he could finally be at peace.
Turns out, it wasn't a murder after all — it was just an accident that happened when a few teenage boys decided to do something stupid.
Bones is at its best when it's at its most unconventional. On another show, the handheld camera, smoky graphics and characters directly addressing the viewer as if you were the skull of a teenage murder victim would be considered weird.
Well, on Bones it's probably weird too, but that's precisely why everyone loves the show so much. Between the 9/11 episode and "The Ghost in the Machine," Bones has tackled some pretty resonant topics in Season 8, and that's something to be applauded. Not every show is so ambitious so late in its run.
As for the murder case itself, was it more or less tragic that Colin's death turned out to be an accident while trying to "surf" on top of a car being driven by his friend? At least he was finally at peace once the truth about his death was revealed — and the girl he loved finally knew.
Bones airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
