Radiation Therapy for Lymphoma and Leukemia
Treatment Overview
Radiation therapy is the use of high-dose X-rays to destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy is often used for the treatment of cancer, such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin's lymphoma, and all types of leukemia. Radiation therapy may be used alone or in combination with other treatment options, such as chemotherapy.
Radiation may be given in different ways. For lymphoma or leukemia, the way radiation is given depends on the type and stage of cancer being treated.
- With external radiation, X-rays from a machine are aimed at the part of the body with the cancer.
- With targeted radiation, monoclonal antibodies are injected into the blood and deliver radiation directly to the cancer cells. This is done by making a medicine in which a radioactive form of an element (such as iodine) is attached to a monoclonal antibody.
- With whole-body radiation, the entire body gets radiation. This may be done if a person is getting a stem cell transplant.
What To Expect After Treatment
Side effects are common but generally go away when treatment is finished. They include:
- Low blood counts, which may increase the risk of infection and bleeding.
- Fatigue.
- Redness and itching of the skin in the radiation field. The skin may look as though you have a bad sunburn.
- Hair loss in the area inside the radiation field.
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea if the belly or pelvis is radiated.
Why It Is Done
For non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), radiation may be used alone or in combination with other treatment options, such as chemotherapy. Radiation is also used for palliative care if chemotherapy is not working.
When used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), radiation therapy is usually given to relieve pain from either an enlarged spleen or lymph nodes.
Radiation therapy is used to help keep an acute leukemia from spreading to the central nervous system (CNS prophylaxis). It is also used to treat recurrent leukemia that has spread to the brain or spinal cord.
How Well It Works
For some stages of leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), radiation therapy works well when used alone. But it may be used in combination with chemotherapy, depending on the type and the stage of the cancer.
The short-term side effects of radiation therapy are common but usually get better and go away when treatments stop. These side effects depend on the area of the body affected by treatments and may include:
- Low blood counts, which may increase your risk of infection or bleeding.
- Redness and irritation in the mouth.
- A dry mouth and trouble swallowing.
- Changes in taste.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Diarrhea.
- Fatigue.
- Hair loss in the treatment area. Whether your hair grows back depends on the area treated, the dose of radiation, and the type of radiation used.
- Irritation of the skin.
The long-term side effects of radiation therapy depend on what part of your body was treated, how much radiation you were given, and how long your treatment lasted. For example, radiation therapy to the pelvis may cause permanent sterility. Other long-term side effects may include brain changes, joint problems, lymphedema, mouth problems, and other cancers. These side effects depend on whether you also had chemotherapy.
What To Think About
Radiation therapy to the pelvis may cause permanent sterility. Discuss fertility options with your doctor before you begin pelvic radiation for NHL or CLL.

Report: US job market looks surprisingly strong
Friday - 2/1/2013, 6:50pm EST
By PAUL WISEMAN and CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
AP Economics Writers
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. job market is proving surprisingly strong and raising hopes that the economy will be resilient enough this year to withstand a budget standoff in Washington and potentially deep cuts in federal spending.
Employers added 157,000 jobs last month, and hiring turned out to be healthier than previously thought at the end of 2012 just as the economy faced the threat of the "fiscal cliff."
Still, unemployment remains persistently high. The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent last month from 7.8 percent in December.
Many economists, though, focused on the steady job growth _ especially the healthier-than-expected hiring late last year. The Labor Department revised its estimates of job gains for November from an initial 161,000 to 247,000 and for December from 155,000 to 196,000.
The department also revised its figures for all of 2012 upward _ to an average of 180,000 new jobs a month from a previously estimated 150,000.
"The significantly stronger payroll gains tell us the economy has a lot more momentum than what we had thought," Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, said in a research note.
The government frequently revises the monthly job totals as it collects more information. Sometimes the revisions can be dramatic, as in November and December.
The January jobs report helped fuel a powerful rally on Wall Street. Stock averages all jumped more than 1 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 14,000 for the first time since October 2007, two months before the Great Recession officially began.
Beyond the job market, the economy is showing other signs of health. Factories were busier last month than they have been since April 2012. Ford, Chrysler and General Motors all reported double-digit sales gains for last month, their best January in five years.
Home prices have been rising steadily. Higher home values tend to make Americans feel wealthier and more likely to spend.
Housing construction is recovering, too. Construction spending rose last year for the first time in six years and is expected to add 1 percentage point to economic growth this year.
The housing rebound appears finally to be producing a long-awaited return of construction-industry jobs, which have typically help drive economic recoveries. Construction companies added 28,000 jobs in January. Over the past three months, construction has added 82,000 jobs _ the best quarterly increase since 2006. Even with the gains, construction employment is about 2 million below its housing-bubble peak of 7.7 million in April 2006.
Health care employers added 28,000 jobs in January. Retailers added 33,000, and hotels and restaurants 17,000. The job growth in retail, hotels and restaurants suggests that employers have grown more confident about consumer spending, which fuels about 70 percent of the economy.
The government uses a survey of mostly large businesses and government agencies to determine how many jobs are added or lost each month. That's the survey that produced the gain of 157,000 jobs for January.
It uses a separate survey of households to calculate the unemployment rate. That survey captures hiring by companies of all sizes, including small businesses, new companies, farm workers and the self-employed. From month to month, the two surveys sometimes contradict each other. Over time, the differences between them usually even out.
The household survey for January found that 117,000 more Americans said they were unemployed than in December. That's why the unemployment rate inched up from 7.8 percent to 7.9 percent.
Some economists had feared that federal budget standoffs might chill spending, investing and hiring. They worried that companies wouldn't hire and consumers would scale back spending in November and December because big spending cuts and tax increases were to take effect Jan. 1 if the White House and congressional Republicans couldn't reach a budget deal.
It turns out, the fears were overblown. In the midst of the budget fight late last year, employers kept hiring.
And Friday's jobs report showed that average hourly wages _ up 4 cents to $23.78 in January _ were staying ahead of inflation. They had generally failed to keep up with prices since the recession ended in June 2009.
The steady hiring gains should help cushion the economic pain from higher Social Security taxes, which last month began shrinking most workers' take-home pay. A person earning $50,000 a year will have about $1,000 less to spend in 2013. A household with two high-paid workers will have up to $4,500 less.
Analysts expect the Social Security tax increase to shave about a half-point off economic growth in 2013, because consumers drive about 70 percent of economic activity.

For my tastes, PRS has raised the bar on the electric guitar beyond expectations in every important category: tone, playability, innovation, and quality.
Playability , versatility and quality. Almost like it was a guitar especially made for me. I've tried the rest, now I play the best.
Last edited by sleary; 01-26-2013 at 09:31 PM.
It's really a simple answer to a complex equation... PRS produce a diverse range of instruments at the highest quality across all demographics. You will not find a guitar in the current market that meets the standards of it's PRS counterpart from the SE line to the Core/Signature production models and all the way up to Private Stock. The craftsmanship, attention to detail and artistry can not be matched when comparing apples to apples, so to speak...
"I'm a sinner and I hope I never change"
I *THINK* it's the best, because it *IS* the best
They were the first with consistent enough quality that my wife could just run out and get one she liked - so they are best because I don' t have to pay.
The guitars are beautiful to behold (I own 2) and plan to buy either Paul's guitar or a 408, but do they really sound or play that much different than a $1,000 Gibson? I just bought a Gibson LPJ for $600 and spent hours comparing sound and feel to my 1994 Custom 24 ($3,000+) I really hate to say it, but they compare favorably. Maybe it's like comparing a Ferrari and a Corvette, both great cars, but one is for the masses and the other for those who are willing to pay (I've owned a Ferrari and a Corvette so I'm speaking from experience).
So again, why is the PRS the best you own? If its for their beauty only, that's ok.

You must've gotten lucky. Finding a good Les Paul that has the "it" factor usually takes forever...and then you hope it stays in tune and everything else works on it. Beauty is only skin deep(but is what 1st attracted me to PRS). The guitar has to function properly and be consistent. They feel perfect in my hands. Most importantly it has to inspire. I can find many PRS hanging on the wall in a store that fit those descriptions.
Inspire - nicely said. That goes beyond the look and sound - it gives us the inspiration to create, to have fun too!
With all the electronics now, basically any electric guitar can sound great. So maybe PRS are so good is more because of their look and feel; how they make us feel when we hold and play them?

It doesn't hurt that they're beautiful!
The look and the Guitar Player review in 86(?) that I read as a poor college student gave me something to aspire to. When I first looked at one, I was immediately impressed by the design and the thought that had gone into improving the tuners and bridge over the other guitars that I'd seen. When I plugged a PRS in, I played and sounded better than on my other guitars. They feel better in my hands than a Gibson or a Fender, I'm just used to the way that they play, and I love the way the controls work.
Charlie, to a degree I think you're just baiting a hook here.
Unless you're a very inexperienced player, you know darn well that PRSes sound different from Gibsons, and are sonically more versatile than your LPJ.
Gibsons are fine guitars; I've had a bunch going from the mid 60s to recent Custom Shop models. They do different things. And they feel different. This you're well aware of, no doubt. And you know that in terms of price, Gibbys that are comparable to PRSes are as expensive, or more expensive. And I've seen Gibbys that look great, too.
It isn't a case of which guitar is somehow better; it's a case of which you prefer to play, and that choice can be made for reasons that have very little to do with the look of the guitar.
Sorry, but I'm not buying your premise. You want to compare your LPJ and what it can do sonically, and say it does the same thing as a PRS, and that just isn't the case. They do different things. Apples to oranges. Personal preference.
And I've got car racing experience; they all feel different and handle differently. Again, personal choice. Want to drag race from corner to corner and don't mind a little fear factor in the turns? Corvettes are fun and the air conditioning is more effective. Want to take a different line? Might have an easier time cornering the Ferrari.

I own 3 prs guitars. All three sound different but they all play very well and produce tones that are very pleasing. The pickups are very balanced and they are comfortable to play. Even though playing music is a hobby its also my passion. I would never say that Im a great guitar player however I strive to improve my skills every day. When I strap on a prs guitar, I know that part of the equation is solved. That means a lot to me. I have a LP but choose not to gig with it. It has good tone but it goes out of tune and it just doesnt fit me.
A drummer friend of mine has a gibson es335 that just sounds wonderful, I would buy it in a heart beat but he wont sell it. So there are other guitars that do it but thats trying to solve a problem that has been fixed with prs guitars. My cu24 has a top that I could just stare at for hours. It is just plain beautiful! I gigged with it last night and it performed as expected, again. So,will I buy another guitar? You bet! Just cant decide which prs model I need next!
To a certain extent I am baiting the hook. My intent is to solicit "gut" feedback. Sort of "what do you really think regardless of the price paid". Do I love and think my PRS is the best because I paid $3k and its beautiful or is it "really"better? would we feel the same way if we paid $600 and it was ugly? Would we admit the $600 guitar sound better even if it looked like crap? I suppose that's really the question. Kinda makes you think.

As I said, "better" is whatever's best for a given player. When it comes to instruments, I honestly think it comes down to whatever is inspiring, or works best for that player, under that player's circumstances.
I mean, could you really say to Bonamassa or EJ, "You know, a PRS would be better for you?" They've made other decisions that obviously work for them. In fact, I know that Bonamassa has invested heavily in vintage LPs that far exceed the cost of any PRS.
But by the same token, I can certainly play a bunch of guitars and have an intuitive understanding of what works best -- for me, under my unique set of circumstances. No one can make that choice for someone else. That's going to depend on the player. As it should!
The answer to that question depends on a person's personality, and how honest one can be with one's self, doesn't it?
A player who actually prefers the sound of the $600 guitar, but won't admit it to protect his or her ego, well...I can honestly say I'm not that guy.
As with many things in life, there's a law of diminishing returns. The cost of some goods increases exponentially as subtle "extras" of various kinds come into play, and for many, those extras aren't worth the price of admission. For some, they are. That's the only place I think price properly comes into the equation when it comes to an instrument.
If the $600 guitar was every bit as good -- for me -- as the $3000 guitar (and I'm not including looks because to me that's the icing, not the cake), there is no way on earth I'd spend the 3 Gs. No way. I'd feel really foolish.
I honestly think that the people on this forum are for the most part thoughtful, intelligent folks. There don't seem to be a lot of suckers in the bunch, yet we share a common interest in PRS. I'm guessing there are as many reasons for that as there are players. YMMV.

I love the design of the Custom.Feels great playing both sitting or standing.The weight is good.Great necks.For me it a real workhorse guitar.A good quality product!

Playability and Quality is why I love my PRS...and it just sounds great.
I live in a remote area and getting my hands on really good guitars is impossible unless I order them online and just take a chance. Not exactly ideal. Trying Gibsons seeme like it would take quite a few before I got a good one. I am not wealthy so for me to get 3-4k togther for a guitar was a big freakin deal. I felt safer ordering PRS due to such a good rep for quality. If I did not LOVE my PRS it would have been sent back. If there wasn't something special about it that did not justify the cost.....I am not crazy or stupid, it would be returned.

Sure windy but certainly nothing like a 10 ! Saw 50 knot gusts last week on med.(Pretty steady 45 knot gusting to 52 according to local Capitainarrie(sp?) Couldnt see the sea ! Looked like snow !!! Nobody but nobody sailing; attempting to sail or even rigging.Was warm too.Left my kit alone !!! You could have sailed with just the mast !!! Not sure any of us can really sail in 45knot + |

check out this pic; this is a zxl of course but I believe the new surflites rig similiarly...its blowing about 33--39 knotts, this sailor weighs about 185# and is on a JP FSW85... so he's sailing overpowered conditions for a 4.2 sail yet is still totally dialed in.. not sure if you can tell but the downhaul has the the leach wrinkled down between the 2&3 batton from the top.. http://wetsands.smugmug.com/gallery/3714816#213124423 on the other hand, check out this pic with the same conditions as the above pic.. this sailor weighed about 175# was on an old school gorge animal(heavy board) and looks like he was on a 3.2 --maybe 2.8 (???) older vintage surflite...notice how he doesn't really have much downhaul at all yet he was rippin fully powered and appears dialed in as well.. http://wetsands.smugmug.com/gallery/3714816#213129332 |

the 3.2 and 3.7 surflites are early 1990's so the new ones probably rig a little different..but I rig the 2 i do have on a 400 mast which is probably stiffer than recommended (i believe the optimal mast is a 370). Anyway i downhaul for normal sailing conditions so the leach is wrinkled down to half way between the 2 and 3rd batton and then outhaul so the 2nd batton from the top is off the mast. I like to sail them over powered thouh so in those conditions I'll down haul till theres a wrinkle all the way down to the 3rd batton from the top and adjust the outhaul accordingly. Because I use a stiiffer /longer mast than optimal (400 is the smallest mast i own) I have to really put more effort into the downhaul than i would w/ a 370 mast. It feels dialed in non the less though. The newwer ones may rig alittle different. Call Chris @ NW.. he's very informative and eager to explain how to rig the sails. Also check out the Simmer Style web site and check out their rigging videos for their diff sails.. watch the ones for all 3 of their wave sails as each one offers different pointers. The NW sails require a little more downhaul in general than the Simmers, but their really are some informative tips on how to fine tune the newwer generation of wave sails which carry over to all sail brands. As far as a"soft feel", I have never experienced that w/ either the older surflites or the zxl's unless I don't downhaul or out haul them enough/correctly. ie if I rig them in very light wind just to get moving and then get hit with a gust they feel soft and the sail draft feels like its shifting and unstable alittle.. but thats only because the sail is too small for the wind conditions. Also when fine tuning the new NW's (I have 2007 ZXL's 4.2-->5.7) adjustments in down and outhaul to adjust for litewind to strong wind requires only a 1-->3 cm change in tension depending on the conditions..its really quite remarkable! |

How do you rig the Surflite ? super flat profile with a loose leech down to the boom's clew or with a moderate loose leech in the top panel and some belly shape around the boom area ? Some owner have reported a soft feel with the Surflite + NoLimitz mast combo, do you agree or not ? Good or bad with your 200# weight ? Cheers ! JM |

A person with binge eating disorder often eats an unusually large amount of food and feels that eating is out of control. Binge eating disorder often occurs with bulimia nervosa, another eating disorder that may also involve purging.
In other cases, binging can happen without other eating disorders. For example, the person may feel upset about binging, but may not try to undo these feelings by vomiting, exercising, or taking laxatives.
It is not clear exactly what causes binge eating disorder. Since about half of people with binge eating disorder have a history of depression, it may be related to that condition. Studies also suggest that people with binge eating disorder may have other emotional problems, including low self-esteem, anger, and/or obsessive compulsive behavior.
Binge eating disorder is more common in women. Factors that may increase your risk of developing a binge eating disorder include:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Symptoms of binge eating disorder include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a mental health professional or eating disorder specialist. Binge eating is diagnosed when there are an average of at least two binge-eating episodes a week for six months, along with a lack of control over eating behavior.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
In cognitive-behavioral therapy , a mental health professional will teach you how to keep track of your eating and change your unhealthy eating habits. This may involve learning how to respond to tough situations and how to feel better about your body shape and weight.
Physical therapy may help to reduce depression associated with binge eating disorder. Therapy options may include yoga or aerobic exercise.
In interpersonal psychotherapy, a counselor will help you look at your personal relationships and make changes in areas that are negatively affecting your life.
Certain antidepressant medications may be helpful for some people with binge eating disorder.
There is no known way to prevent binge eating disorder. If you have young children, however, it is important to display positive and healthy attitudes about eating and body image.

I must say, I'm very impressed with how you displayed her protocols. That said, she got a < on her flip at the 2010 GPF FS.
Alissa is fairly tall for a skater and has pretty long legs, a lot like Mirai Nagasu, who coincidentally also has omitted the salchow for years. So maybe body type has something to do with it?
Kristi Yamaguchi is a tiny little thing, and she had huge problems with the 3S, so it can't just be height.
Some like edge jumps, some like toe jumps.
There is always one of the jump entrances that gives skaters problems. In history, we see it all the time.
Yamaguchi: Born with club feet and did pair throw salcows. This made them hard for her as a singles skater.
Orser: Had a hard time with loop and flip.
Browning: Lutz intimidated him always.
Hamilton: never did a correct flip...always a lip.
YuNa: Had hip pain from loops, so she avoids them as a solo jump.
Sato: Had GREAT edge jumps, but faltered on toe loop, flip and lutz (always struggled with them).
Salcows require a lot of non-dominant side leg strength and also a good salcow is timimg. Rush a salcow and you will never get the height you need for a triple, or your axis will be tilted, etc. leading to step-outs, two-footed landings and falls.
I get the impression that strength and timing are issues when a skater can not master a particular entrance.
I'd like to see Alissa do well at nationals but I don't want her on the world team, nor do I think the federation is dumb enough to put her on the team after last year. She'll need to earn her way back in by proving she can skate well.
Right now all of the other top competitors are showing more consistency and reliability than Alissa, who comes into this year's nationals as a big question mark b/c no one knows how she'll do.
It's not worth the risk. Ashley will be on the team and that second spot will go to either Gracie, Mirai or Christina...maybe Agnes, though I think her chances are a little lower given her results this season.
I'm thinking Gracie will get the second spot. I think the USFSA sees that she has a great future and can actually compete with the top jumpers in the world. I don't think the US judges will let Mirai beat Gracie on PCS alone; although I find Mirai much better on the PCS criteria, I think they will keep Gracie close because I really do believe they want her on the team if she earns it on TES.
I feel the same. I would like Czisny to skate well at Nationals, but I definitely dont want her on the team in a pre Olympic Worlds, and I also feel strongly the U.S judges will keep her off the team no matter what this year, even if she skated lights out and it was a messy event they would still place her 3rd or 4th. Next year could be different if she makes a good showing at Nationals this year, skates well on the fall grand prix (more important than Nationals this year as a poor showing would almost be expected after so long away), and if the U.S regains 3 spots. No spots for the Olympics on the line next year, and with 3 ladies they can afford to send a wild card if need be anyway.
Mirai is no big favorite of the USFSA or U.S judges. I expect she and Gold will actually get about the same PCS at Nationals, their PCS werent even that far apart internationally this season anyway, and unless Gold skates poorly she will get the 2nd spot on higher TES no matter what Nagasu does.
Alissa has historically also struggled with her 2A and it was really, really a scary looking jump in the last couple years working with Julie Berlin (before Jason D reworked some of her jumping technique). 2A and 3S are similar in technique and timing (when a skater starts making progress on single Axels, coaches usually start them on double sal and double toe as well because the mechanics are similar, although the picking and weight transfer are a little differnt on the toe loop than on the sal and Axel). She's never really "stepped up" on her entry on either of those jumps (her 2A is way better than it was but it still has skimmed the ice more than actually jumping up and under which is why it has never been an impressive jump for her).
Mirai used to be better on many of the PCS criteria, but she's really mailed in a lot of her performances since the 2010 Olympics. Also, when she makes a mistake there is a noticeable difference in her speed (she slows down significantly -- see 2011 Nationals). Gracie has very well constructed programs (CH) and while she maybe doesn't always present them in a mature manner (rushing, not finishing off some things or skating through her music), she has great speed and variety in her skating (SS) and a ton of transitions (TR). If you couple that with difficult content and a mostly clean skate (which she is LIKELY to do), PE and IN stay in the same corridor as SS, TR, and CH.
Mirai's doing better with carrying the program to the end this season. Last season if she made a mistake all of the air would go out and she'd skate flat and dead for the remainder of the program. She's had a performance or two this season where she made a mistake but got up and kept going, not dropping the energy the way she used to.
Gracie's programs are nothing great in terms of choreography though she does have a number of decent transitions and big jumps...when she completes them which she hasn't really done all season. She had one strong SP and two mediocre LPs so far.
IMO, TR is the only area Gracie beats Mirai in terms of PCS. Mirai is either slightly ahead or they are even on everything else in that category. Gracie has the better jumps, Mirai has the better spins and overall polish. Both of their SPs are decent but both LPs are rather meh. To me, Gracie and Mirai are on equal footing heading into nationals. Mirai had better finishes on the GP, but their overall total scores were very close (Mirai 176.68, Gracie 175.03). Both of them have not completed more than 4 triples in an LP this season. Mirai is prone to URs and edge calls on her lutz, while Gracie is prone to popping/doubling jumps and edge calls on her flip. Like I said, they're pretty much on equal footing.
I think the second spot will go to the person who has the best performance at nationals.
I'm always disappointed and saddened when I read that the judges will not let something happen no matter how the skater performs. How honorable is that?
Sad but true. It's been that way for ages...it's why a lot of people outside of the sport don't view it as a sport. To a certain degree it's about the skater, their talent, and how they skate; but on another level there is a lot of influential politicking that goes on in skating among the federations and (as with nationals) within a federation.
Not always fair but that's just the way it is. If a newer skater (like Angela Wang or Hannah Miller) came out and had the performance of their life complete with great jumps, spins and that spark, you can bet they would place no higher than 3rd this year. Why? B/c those top two spots need to go to the two skaters likely to place well at worlds and as of now that pool of ladies consists of Ashley, Mirai, Gracie, Christina and possibly Agnes b/c of their results on the GP this year. Placing well at worlds depends on how the skater skates on that given night but things like reputation and favor from the judges also factors in. Though both Angela and Hannah had good showings on the JGP this year, they are unknown on the senior level and therefore are not a smart pick to go to senior worlds. Regardless of how they skate those top 5 spots are pretty much locked up at this point and it would take a meltdown from a number of skaters plus some performance-of-a-lifetime performances from others in order to change that.
Talent is important in this sport. But especially in countries like the US and Japan, you need a bit of luck too in order to break out of the ranks. It can be done though. I love Ashley b/c she started off as a 2nd/3rd tier skater and by sheer will forced her way to the top by doing what she needed to do to stand out. That's proof that with enough hard work any of these younger skaters can break out.
Gracie is only one of the US's talented younger ladies (and IMO she's not even the most talented of the group). She's benefiting from the attention right now. The federation is backing her which means all she needs to do is show up and skate decently and she'll get the scores needed. For someone like Angela, Hannah, Samantha or the other lesser known US ladies, they will have to work twice as hard to get noticed b/c all of the attention is currently elsewhere. On occasion skaters do have breakout performances at nationals but I don't know the last time an unknown skater won nationals. The closest thing would be when Mirai won in 2008 but Mirai wasn't unknown. She'd won junior nationals and was 2nd at junior worlds the year before, and had won both of her JGP events and the JGPF that year. Besides, it was a transitional year with the previous year's top ladies nowhere in the mix.
It's tough but that's how it is. Opportunity, timing, talent, luck and some help from your federation...that's the recipe for success in this sport.
^ I think that is needlessly cynical. I believe that the judges at U.S. Nationals try conscientiously to do their jobs with both honesty and honor.
Of course judges are only human. Reputation always plays a role in an "emperor's new clothes" kind of way. Good skating by definition is what the good skaters do. Therefore, when the person that we all know is the best performs, well, that must be good skating.
On the other hand, speaking of 2008, the U.S. judges had no problem placing former world champion and reigning U.S. champion Kimmie Meissner behind Bebe Liang and Katrina Hacker, leaving it up to the international selection committee to decide whether to send Kimmie to worlds anyway, leap-frogging Hacker.

GPT, which stands for GUID Partition Table, is a disk partitioning scheme that was introduced by Intel for Itanium architecture systems, as part of EFI, the Extensible Firmware Interface. While you are probably not using an Itanium architecture computer, and you are likely using a BIOS-based rather than an EFI-based system, you still may want to use GPT partitioning. Why? Because the standard MBR-based partitioning scheme only supports system disks that are less than 2TiB in size. On modern systems, especially systems with hardware RAID logical volumes, it is very easy to go beyond the 2TiB limit. GUID partition tables support disks that are larger than 2TiB in size.
GPT Technology Overview
This section contains a technical overview of GPT technology.
GUID partition tables support up to 512 partitions. GPT data structures are stored in the first sectors of the drive with a secondary copy stored at the end of the drive. This allows the partitioning scheme of your disk to be recovered in situations where the primary partition table has been corrupted.
For compatibility with legacy partitioning tools, GPT partitioning tools typically rewrite the MBR partition table (generally located in the first sector of the disk) in a way those tools will interpret it like "This disk has only one partition (of an unknown type) covering the whole disk".
It is possible to convert an existing MBR-partitioned disk to GPT format using the gdisk command. Please carefully read the gdisk man page before using this capability, as it is potentially dangerous, particularly if you are performing it on your boot disk.
Funtoo Linux fully supports GPT on x86-32bit and x86-64-bit systems.
Booting GPT
If you decide to use a GPT-based partitioning scheme for your system disk, either out of necessity due to a 2TiB+ disk, or because you want to try GPT out, then the question arises -- how do you get the darn thing to boot? This is where the new GRUB boot loader comes in. The new GRUB
(version 2.0, found at sys-boot/grub) is a redesign of the original GRUB
(version 0.9x, now called sys-boot/grub-legacy
in Funtoo) boot-loader that includes very mature support for booting from GPT-based disks.
Now, let's take a look at how to get GPT-based booting working under Funtoo Linux.
Getting Started
The first thing you'll need to do is to use a LiveCD. I recommend System Rescue CD for this task as it is Gentoo-based and includes all the proper tools. Go ahead and boot the LiveCD, and then get to the point where you are ready to partition your system disk.
At this point, you have two choices as to what partitioning tool to use. You can use either gdisk or parted. gdisk is a very nice fdisk-like partitioning tool that supports GPT partitioning. It is rather new software but seems to work quite well. The other tool you can use, GNU parted, has been around for a while and is more mature, but is harder to use.
We'll take a look at how to create partitions using gdisk. Alternatively, cgdisk
, curses-based gdisk for users familiar with cfdisk or sgdisk
, command-line tool can be used for creating and managing GPT partitions.
Partitioning Using Gdisk
OK, the first step is using gdisk is to start it up, specifying the disk you want to modify:
# gdisk /dev/sda
You should find gdisk very familiar to fdisk. Here is the partition table we want to end up with:
Command (? for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 312581808 sectors, 149.1 GiB
Disk identifier (GUID): 17
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 312581774
Total free space is 0 sectors (0 bytes)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 34 204833 100.0 MiB 0700 Linux/Windows data
2 204834 270369 512.0 kiB EF02 BIOS boot partition
3 270370 1318945 512.0 MiB 8200 Linux swap
4 1318946 312581774 148.4 GiB 0700 Linux/Windows data
Command (? for help):
Above, you'll see that we have a 100 MiB boot partition, a 512 kiB "BIOS boot partition", 512 MiB of swap, and the remaining disk used by a 148.4 GiB root partition.
The one new thing here is the "BIOS boot partition." What is it? In GRUB-speak, this BIOS boot partition is basically the location of the meat of GRUB's boot loading code - the quivalent of the stage1_5 and stage2 files in legacy GRUB. Since GPT-based partition tables have less "bonus" space than their MBR equivalents, and explicit partition of code EF02 is required to hold the guts of the boot loader.
In all other respects, the partition table is similar to that of an MBR-based disk. We have a boot and root partition with code 0700, and a Linux swap partition with code 8200. One this partition table has been written to disk and appropriate mkfs and mkswap commands are issued, /dev/sda1 will be used to hold /boot, /dev/sda2 will be used by the new GRUB directly, /dev/sda3 will house our swap and /dev/sda4 will hold our root filesystem.
Go ahead and create filesystems on these partitions, and then mount the root and boot filesystems to /mnt/gentoo and /mnt/gentoo/boot respectively. Now go ahead and unpack a stage3 tarball to /mnt/gentoo and chroot in as you normally do.
Configuring The Kernel
Your kernel will need a couple of extra GPT-related options enabled in order for it to make sense of your GPT partitions and find your filesystems.
Under Enable the block layer-->Partition Types:
[*] Advanced Partition Selection (PARTITION_ADVANCED) [*] EFI GUID Partition Support (EFI_PARTITION)
If you are using a non-Funtoo distribution then you may need to append a proper rootfstype= option to your kernel boot options to allow Linux to properly mount the root filesystem when Advanced Partition Selection is enabled. Boot-Update does this for you automatically.
Now just go ahead and compile and install your kernel, and copy it to /boot/bzImage.
Booting The System
To get the system booted, you will want to first edit /etc/fstab inside the chroot so that it reflects the partitions and filesystems you just created. For Funtoo Linux systems, this is done by emerging boot-update
, which is the universal boot loader configurator for Funtoo Linux.
# emerge boot-update
Boot-Update is a front-end for the GRUB 1.9x boot loader and provides a necessary simplified configuration interface. boot-update is used to generate boot loader configuration files. But before we get to boot-update, we first need to install GRUB to your hard disk. This is done as follows:
# grub-install /dev/sda
grub-install will detect and use /dev/sda2 and use it to store its boot loader logic.
Now it's time to create an /etc/boot.conf file. For more information on all available options, consult the Boot-Update guide -- I'll show you a sample configuration for the sample GPT partition scheme above:
boot { generate grub default bzImage } "Funtoo Linux" { kernel bzImage }
Once /etc/boot.conf has been created, then type:
# boot-update
This will auto-generate a /boot/grub/grub.cfg file for you, and you will now be able to reboot into Funtoo Linux using a GPT partitioning scheme.
For more information on all the options available for /etc/boot.conf, please consult the Boot-Update guide.

At the very least their game will last much longer (i.e. will work on newer distros for many years) if they open it up. Plus people will package it for every software channel, etc. They can build and maintain a community around their game for no cost after it reached its end of (commercial) life.
I'm happy that more companies are realising that open-sourcing your code is not all bad and lost profit.

Kidney Disease Research Updates
Winter 2013
NIH Encourages Reducing Disparities in Kidney Transplantation
From NIH News
The National Institutes of Health is promoting efforts to reduce disparities in organ transplantation. This is particularly important among African Americans, Hispanics, and American Indians, all of whom are disproportionately affected by kidney failure—yet are less likely to receive organ transplants.
More than 20 million adults in the United States have chronic kidney disease, with an additional 400,000 people currently depending on dialysis to treat kidney failure, according to the U.S. Renal Data System. Of the more than 80,000 people on the national waiting list for a kidney transplant, 35 percent are African American and nearly 19 percent are Hispanic, although they make up only 13 percent and 16 percent of the U.S. population, respectively.
"Part of the solution to the disparity in transplantation is to ensure that providers refer appropriate patients for transplant evaluation as soon as they've been diagnosed with kidney failure," said Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D., director of the NIH's National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). "It's also important that more African Americans and Hispanics register as organ donors and talk with loved ones about doing the same to increase the pool of kidneys available for transplantation."
NIDDK is leading several initiatives to help reduce disparities in organ transplantation:
- The NIDDK, in collaboration with the NIH's National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, funds the Minority Organ and Tissue Donation Program, which supports research on disparities in access to transplantation. Learn more about this program at http://www2.niddk.nih.gov/AboutNIDDK/Organization/Divisions/KUH/KUHmotd.htm.
- NIH's National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) provides health professionals with tools and resources to educate at-risk populations about kidney failure treatments, including transplantation. Learn more about these resources at www.nkdep.nih.gov/identify-manage.shtml.
- The Kidney Interagency Coordinating Committee brings federal agencies together to collaborate in a multi-faceted response to kidney disease, aiming to make efforts to reduce disparities more successful. Learn more at http://nkdep.nih.gov/about/kicc/index.htm.
The NIDDK, part of the NIH, conducts and supports basic and clinical research and research training on some of the most common, severe, and disabling conditions affecting Americans. NIDDK's research interests include diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases; digestive diseases, nutrition, and obesity; and kidney, urologic, and hematologic diseases.

But still, opening stuff has a cost, you need a legal team to review the whole stuff, possibly redo internally (with clean room) some bits that you bough to a third party, or even possibly, some technology of a startup you bought that you don't own fully, etc...
Against that, you have gains: you can use open source tools for your driver, other corporations and individuals will be working for you, you can influence the whole platform if it's open too, the kernel/OS developers can work with your stuff more easily, etc..
For the windows platform, most of these gains don't exist: there are no open source tools or kernel to build upon, and development is centralized. And if you want OS devs to work/debug with you, they all will be professional Microsoft employee, so you can give them NDA + sources or debug dlls, that won't have all the hurdles of public distribution.
So it's quite possible that costs/benefits balance in one direction on Linux and the other on Windows... If their code base is small enough of "non-legacy" enough, it makes sense for them to develop two drivers, each best adapted to its environment.
Intel's Open_Linux_Driver has match code and technology shared with the Closed_Win_Driver. Intel can't be forced to open the Win_Driver because the shared code is already open as a Linux_Driver. Win_Driver has DirectX code and Linux_Driver doesn't, but the OpenGL part is 70+% the same. When something goes to Win_Driver some months later appears to the Linux_Driver_(MESA) to.
Ok so it's basically what I said.

Cape May, New Jersey is actually an island
...A natural shallow creek that runs from the harbor to the Delaware Bay dug a canal making it an island. It is part of New Jersey's cape.
The entire community was declared as a National Historic Landmark City in 1976 and is the oldest seaside resort in the US. Before World War II it was a naval station and continues to be home to a Coast Guard Training station today.
The population has remained the same for many years averaging about 4,700, however on a summer weekend it can be 10 times that amount. Yet, on your visit it will find it continues its small town feel with tree lined streets, Victorian homes and neatly kept downtown neighborhoods.
Just to show you how "south" it is in New Jersey it is located at mile maker 0 on the Garden State Parkway.
A unique part of this resort town...
is that you find no chain stores in the area, but there is plenty of shopping in the small shops.
You won't go hungry...
while in Cape May, there are plenty of dining options, from fine dining to a great ice cream cone.
...you won't go thirsty either as in Cape May you will find hand crafted beers at the Cape May Brewing Co. and Tuckahoe Brewing Co. Both offer
on Saturdays.
...if it is a bit of the grape you like, the Cape May area offers plenty of
where you can kick back and relax.
If you like the "homeyness"
...of a
Bed and Breakfast
then Cape May is for you. With plenty of beautiful bed and breakfast locations you can find the special one for your beach stay. If you rather have a different experience, many other accommodations available as well.
Cape May offers visitors things to do, wonderful accommodations and restaurants to make the kind of vacation you are looking for...active, relaxing, peaceful or full of fun.

My health issues seem to involve pain...in my hands...in my feet...my back...shoulders...you name it, and Topricin products make my pain go away! Applied once a day seems to do the trick, although you can use it more often if necessary. I swear it made my plantar fasciitis go away! I love it! It's not greasy and doesn't smell at all.

I do muscle therapy for pain relief. My clients really appreciate this spray during and after treatments. They want some to take home. My health food store doesn't carry it. Thanks for the feedback. You can always buy from myotcstore.com
An excellent, uplifting scented, natural alternative with many uses. To replace the horrible chemical products offered for use today which have side effects and destroy the earth. The price is affordable to all. I apply it directly to cuts, use it for nail problems, rashes, in home made salves, creams, remedies and even when making crafts. Also in candles and potpourri. I also put some drops (with a dropper) into my Vick's inhaler (the little tube you open and sniff to get relief when congested) the effect runs out as the liquid in the products runs out but adding several drops of this oil and shaking turns it into a much more effective and very long lasting product.
I was very disappointed in the product after hearing people say how good it is. I applied it to my knee and back and had this unbearable burning sensation that lasted quite a while. It felt like I was on fire!!! I know that you mention that as a side affect, but really, it was truly a horrible feeling.
Wonderful treatment for joint soreness and desintetizer for mosquito bites.

The movie they abandoned Spider-man for coming soon...hope it was worth it for them to torpedeo a great run of Spider-man movies.
Here is a new clip from Sam Raimi's Oz the Great and Powerful. The clip highlights not only the special effects used in the film but Danny Elfman's fantastic score. Check it out below.
The Plot: When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great and powerful wizard—and just maybe into a better man as well.
Official Boilerplate: Disney's fantastical adventure Oz The Great and Powerful, directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful wizard but into a better man as well.
Oz The Great and Powerful arrives in theaters March 8, 2013.

I don't think Raimi abandoned Spidey for this. He, MaGuire, and Dunst were signed for two more movies with Raimi planning on using the Vulture as the villian but the nebulous "creative differences" came up with the studio. This is what he didn't like when they forced him to put Venom in SM3. So he and the stars all bailed. Sony already had an alternate reboot script being done so they switched to that and a new director.
I'm going to see this for sure, but the CGI is killing me! I hope it looks amazing on the big screen. Please look amazing!
btw - i'm all for CGI, it's just not looking good to me right here. Just me?
More like Oz the gay and stupid. This movie has steaming turn written all over it. Wy overdone the last few years, who needs the same story redone yet again?
