"One too many replays"
The premise of this book was a good one. And because I like stories that include time travel, I ended up giving this book four stars. But I can't help believing that the author could have improved his product by including one or two less replays. The large number of replays probably required that he make large jumps in time to avoid having the book run longer than it did. I kept on encountering non-sequiturs before additional listening gave me the perspective that the scene was several years removed from the previous one. The transitions were very dramatic. There were many loose ends left at the conclusion of the book but that wasn't necessarily a detriment. Readers are left to conclude whatever they wish about the reality or the cause of the replays. Far-fetched but entertaining. Well worth it on a BOGO sale.
"Well-developed characters"
Rachel, Anna, Megan, Tom and Scott were characters we got to know because the author brought each of them to life. I was also impressed with the use of different narrators for each of the female leads. I haven't heard multiple narrators work as well as they did for this book. The author also gave the listener enough clues to see where the plot was heading before actually arriving at the climax. What the book lacked were twists and turns. But this is a minor criticism because the story sold itself and went where it logically should have gone. A very good listen.
"Very much like the TV show"
Listening to this book was very much like watching the TV show, all the way down to the voice of the narrator who sounded remarkably like Angela Lansbury. The major plot twist was well telegraphed and Jessica was as deductively superior to everyone else combined who collectively remained clueless throughout. Some interesting characters and descriptive language that made it easy for the listener to picture what was going on. A good multi-tasking book.
"Average for Burke; outstanding for anyone else"
The dialogue and wording of this story were up to Burke's usual standards. I was a little disappointed by the story, which I didn't think captivated as well as others by Burke. Will Patton is in my top three of favorite narrators and nailed this recording. He nearly turned a four-star book into a five-star one. Character development was excellent and Burke drew a very clear picture of all the main ones. Although the ending was a bit abrupt, Burke made up for it by an unanticipated twist. Good listen.
"Good Family Listen"
I listened to this book with my daughter who had seen the movie several times. I might have been the only person in the world who read this book without having seen the movie. About what I expected. I wasn't surprised by the few twists and turns although I have to honestly say I didn't automatically anticipate them. Listening with my daughter made the exercise worthwhile.
"A forgettable classic"
I'm pretty sure I read this book about 50 years ago but had little recollection of it. After listening to the audio version I became aware of why I remember so little about it. It is very forgettable. And so I invoke my self-imposed rule that no classic ever gets less than three stars from me. It's abrupt ending did not help. I might note that I gave Jane Eyre and Great Expectations five stars so it's not just my lack of culture that influenced me here. Maybe others will appreciate it more than I. It's less than a four-hour listen so you're not risking a lot to give it a whack.
"About what you would expect"
This story is filled with a whole lot of characters who are easy to hate. Perhaps the newspaper editor is the worst of them all. You have a primary plot and two sub plots that Sandford did an excellent job of weaving together. There's never any doubt that the dogs and the good guys will prevail but the journey is fun anyway. Standard Virgil Flowers fare with maybe a little less female intrigue than usual.
"Twist at the end was nice"
If you're a Jack Reacher fan you will neither be disappointed nor blown away by this latest offering. It had a good mix of the cerebral and physical dominance that is the calling card of our hero. Fans will start salivating when the character of Little Joey is introduced. If they ever made a movie of this book I would want the late Andre the Giant to play Joey. If he wasn't late, that is. Casey Nice was a likable character and here's hoping that Child brings her back in future offerings. The twist at the end caught me by surprise but I think it was well set up and believable. Knowing that Child did not phone this one in, as he did with "A Wanted Man," should be enough to make this more than worth a credit for Reacher fans. Enough said.
"Thought I was listening to abridged version"
I thought this was a pretty good story but would have preferred that one narrator be used. The writing was somewhat disjointed and the use of multi narrators didn't help. Also I did not like the author's technique of jumping ahead of important milestones in the story and reflecting back on them. I gave the book three stars because it revealed some behind-the-scenes looks into politics and journalism. I'm also a fan of Megan Kelly and heard she did some first edits. A solid three stars.
"No way to go wrong in story about dogs and hospice"
As a dog lover and supporter of the incredible work performed by hospice folks I knew this book was a no-risk listen. Didn't think it was particularly well written and I never really connected with Jon. Thank goodness for Izzy and Lenore. Izzy went from rags to riches in spirit and was almost too good to be true. Lenore was a lovable Lab who proved near the end of the listen that she possessed more than simple puppy love. The book provides some insights into hospice care and was well worth the listen.
"Not allowed to give a classic less than 3 stars"
Somehow I had managed to spend my entire life without reading this classic. It's short and to the point. I'm not sure how this dramatized version differs from the original but I suspect the story lines and dialogue are similar. I'm glad this was short because I don't think I could have listened for several more hours. I did, however, like the dramatized version, replete with sound effects and murmuring. Made it a little better. I've listened and I can cross another classic off my list. Don't think I'll tackle 1984.

Mr. Evans (b. In or Before 1942 - d. between July 31, 1971 and October 31, 1981) was a Muggle, married to Mrs. Evans. He had two daughters: Petunia and Lily Evans. The family lived in Cokeworth, near the home of the dysfunctional Snape family.
While Petunia was a Muggle like her parents, Lily was a Muggle-born witch and will enjoy the Wizarding world, something Mr. Evans and Mrs. Evans were very proud of. Petunia, on the other hand, was jealous and considered her sister a "freak". Mr. and Mrs. Evans suffered a normal Muggle death, though the exact cause is unknown; it was sometime before the murder of their younger daughter in 1981.
Through his elder daughter, they are related to the Muggle Dursley family, and through the younger, to the wizarding Potter and Weasley families.
Both died sometime between 31 July, 1971 and 31 October, 1981.
- "I was the only one who saw her for what she was ... a freak! But for my mother and father, oh no, it was Lily this and Lily that, they were proud of having a witch in the family!"
- —Petunia to Harry Potter on Lily.[src]
Mrs. Evans
Mr. Evans and his wife most likely had a good marriage before their deaths.
Lily Evans
Like his wife, Mr. Evans was extremely proud of their youngest daughter, Lily, and was slightly in awe of her magical abilities.
However, this made Petunia feel left out and jealous of her sister.
Petunia Evans
Mr. Evans's relationship with oldest daughter Petunia may have been good, but he and his wife favoured Lily because of her magical abilities and she felt left out.
Mr. Evans died sometime between July 31, 1971 and October 31, 1981 from a normal Muggle death, although the exact cause is unknown. It is unknown if he died by the time his daughters were married, but was most likely dead by the time his grandsons were born.
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (First mentioned) (Appears in Mirror of Erised)
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film) (Mentioned only)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Appears in flashback(s))
- ↑ Mr. Evans had to be at least 17 to conceive Petunia, who is born in the late 50s; if Petunia is born in 1959, which is likely, then her fathers birthdate must be in or before 1942.

Mariners-Twins to pit youth vs. youth in finale
Minnesota's Gibson to face 23-year-old Ramirez in sixth career start
Saturday's 4-0 win spelled victory for the Twins on the season series with the Mariners, but Seattle still has a chance to split their current four-game set.
While Minnesota holds a 2-1 advantage on the series and a 4-2 advantage on the season, Seattle looks to Erasmo Ramirez in the hopes of capping the series with a win.
The right-hander will make just his third start of the season Sunday. He is 1-0 in two outings with an 8.71 ERA. In only his second season in the Majors, the 23-year-old is finding increased comfort at the new level with each new outing.
"Working, being aggressive, don't think too much and just throw the ball to home plate," Ramirez said. "Not just throw it, but throw it knowing what you want to do. What the hitter does will tell you what to do, what to change. You have to be careful about what they like to swing at, what they're waiting for, and you have to be ready for everything."
The Twins turn to Kyle Gibson, who will be making just the sixth start of his Major League career. The right-hander is 2-2 with a 5.72 ERA. Gibson pitched six innings and gave up two runs and five hits against the Angels in his last start -- with both runs coming off fourth-inning homers.
Gibson, who is still working on settling into his own role in the Twins' rotation, was able to calm down after the homers -- by Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo -- to pitch deep enough into the game for the Minnesota bullpen in what turned out to be a 10-3 Twins victory in 10 innings.
"It feels pretty good to be able to settle down after that," Gibson said. "Pujols hit a good pitch, but on both batters I fell behind the count."
Twins: Morneau's defense shines in Seattle
Despite hitting a home run Saturday, Justin Morneau's bat has not been quite the asset he or the Twins were hoping for this season. But where his offense has not hit the mark of past seasons, his defense still stands out.
"Sometimes the hockey goalie comes out in him," manager Ron Gardenhire said with a smile of Morneau on Saturday morning. "He's underrated defensively. He's a big guy, a real physical guy, but he moves real well. Not too much gets by him."
In the 11th inning Friday night, Morneau made a wide stop at first base to turn a double play with Pedro Florimon, showing off his defensive skill set.
"If you ask me is he a Gold Glover, I'd say, 'absolutely,'" Gardenhire added.
Mariners: Revolving door at catcher continues
Humberto Quintero made his first start as a catcher for the Mariners on Saturday and became the seventh catcher to start a game for Seattle this season, going 0-for-2.
The Mariners' catching corps has been stuck with injuries and transactions, creating a revolving door behind the plate. Quintero was signed Friday to add depth to the position.
"Unfortunately we've got a lot of guys hurt, but you have to use what you have to use," Henry Blanco said. "We're just trying to stay strong and keep winning some ballgames; that's what we need right now."
Worth noting
• The Mariners walked eight Twins on Saturday, including one for a run. The only Twin not to earn a walk was leadoff hitter Brian Dozier.

Yet another one of those words that were made up by advertising executives to put into the mouth of today's supposed youth for the purposes of selling crap that's made to seem "extreme". "This sounds like the kind of stupid crap kids would say", they said, and apparently they were right. The use of this word in any context is admissible in most courts as evidence that the speaker is a complete fucking idiot.
"Have you heard of 'steezy'? It's yet another bullshit synonym for 'cool' that can be used to make old products seem new somehow!"

10 Draft Commandments
Written by Matt Weiss
- Never believe what you hear/read-in essence this is the only time a team can add a player without another team knowing about it (trades involve a partner). Why would a team tip their hand to the media? If it really was known that you coveted a player what stopping a team ahead of you from taking them? Most of the time these rumors feel like they are fueled by agents looking to keep their clients names in the press. Don't believe them, the other part of this is that most reporters claim teams are interested in 15 different players, meaning odds are they get it "right" but I could guess and predict who most teams will take and that doesn't mean I have inside info.
- Workouts should be meaningless-with virtually every player in the draft having played at least one year of college NBA teams have 30+ games of film to watch on them, for some seniors teams have 120+ games of film. I don't care how good your three hour workout was, it shouldn't change how a team views you.
- Rebounds, rebounds, rebounds-the advanced numbers people will tell you that no stat translates like rebounds. If you are an elite rebounder in college, you can board on the next level. Conversely, if a player has a really low rebound rate and they aren't a 5'11'guard, you should run from them. This year's scary candidate is Tony Snell of New Mexico who rebounded very poorly in college, and now projects as SF on the next level (side note, most of the 5'11" point guards rebounded better then he did). Even if you aren't trying, you should get more rebounds then he gets. Conversely, Arsalem Kazemi from Oregon isn't even projected in most mocks, but rebounds at an insane rate. I would much rather have the less skilled player that works his ass off.
- Who you are as a player in college is who you will be in the NBA-players can refine and improve skills (shooting or defensive positioning for instance) but if you are player that lacked focus, or played selfishly in college, odds are you will in the NBA. Ben McLemore seems like a nice kid, but he would terrify me if I was at the top of the draft. He was a passive player both in the team sense (deferred to lesser teammates) and in a playing sense (very low FT rate). How will this magically change on the next level? I am skeptical of anyone changing who they are. For the opposite reasons Shabazz Muhammad would not be high on my list (shooting percentage and assist numbers)
- Defense is a skill-defense is 50% of the game. Seriously, I know that sounds crazy, but players spend half the time they are on the floor playing defense. It's hugely important and routinely undervalued. This years defenders that seem to be falling more then they should are Victor Oladipo, Jeff Withey and Gorgui Dieng. All three of these guys played on elite defenses and anchored them for their teams. Kansas and Louisville funneled everything to the rim, where Withey and Dieng did an amazing job at defending, and Oladipo was a terror on the perimeter.
- Drafting Potential is Okay, sometimes-its fine to draft potential if there is a reason the player hasn't shown his full potential. A young player, and or someone who hasn't played a ton of basketball for example. However, if a player has incredible physical gifts and is a junior/senior and hasn't used these gifts to dominate in college, then how much "potential" is there? This years potential guys that scare me are Tony Mitchell and CJ Leslie. Both are physical specimens and both should have asserted themselves much more in college. They now enter a league full of players just as physically gifted who play hard every night. I would be wary. Conversely, Archie Goodwin is only 18, and though he had a rough year at Kentucky, if he goes to the right team and gets developed he is a player with potential worth the risk.
- Don't overvalue to tournament-Sure enough every year I fall in love with a player or two in the tournament. While these games matter, they shouldn't outweigh the rest of the season. Be skeptical of anyone who was a different player in those few games then they were the rest of the season.
- Efficiency is a skill-probably the most undervalued aspect of basketball is efficiency. Sure Carmelo led the league in scoring this year, but the runner up Kevin Durant scored just .3 fewer points a game on 5 fewer shots a game. That's a huge difference in efficiency. In essence to score the same amount of points the thunder also got 5 extra possessions. It's the same thing in the draft; I don't care how good your numbers are if you weren't efficient in college, I don't want you. It's easy to use Kawhi Leonard as an example now, but he is a perfect example of a player that was wildly efficient in college, but lacked an "elite skill" and dropped to 15. In reality his elite skill was that he was one of the most efficient players in the draft and has seamlessly become a key member of the Spurs.
- Draft the best player available-lots of times you hear teams talk about drafting needs or drafting BPA. With very few exceptions you want to take the best player, you don't want to pass on a guy you really like because you have someone at that position. Given what is going on in the league now positions are more amorphous than ever, so playing two 3's or two 4's is fine. Thus, if you have a player you love, just draft him. Don't take the guy you only like because he fits a need.
- Second round picks are really valuable-Using BBall Reference I plotted career win shares for players drafted late first round and all of the second round, and as you can see there isn't a huge difference. The lesson here, if your team snags an extra pick or two in the second round, they can be just as valuable as pick late in the first, regardless of is they are pick 31 or 57.

ELED4010 - Reading Methods
Fall 2011 Reading Methods is the course which provides the perspective teacher several methods that will develop and promote literacy and/or reading skills of their students. Because each student is unique in that their strengths' and/or weaknesses demand varied (integrated or balanced) approaches to the teaching of reading, teachers must employ a literacy framework so that all children's particular needs are met. Often, when teaching reading, various activities must be employed to provide for these needs within a small group, individually, or with the whole class. Prospective teachers will gain knowledge, practice teaching techniques and reading methods, design lesson plans, make oral presentations, observe and evaluate teachers teaching reading, and incorporate their strategies, technology, and sound principles of individual and group dynamics in various activities of this course. Prerequisites: Candidacy Status, ELED3010 and ELED3350 Co-requisite: ELED4020 3 Credits |

Rice Krispies! (and the subsequent Rice Krispies Treats)
Peanut Butter Crunch. And Kix.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch!
Dear Life Cereal: where do you get off?! part of a balanced breakfast AND delicious? who do you think you are! by now you may have guessed i'm speaking ironically and have nothing but good things to say about what you do. Life Cereal, do not change a thing. Signed, Peter Griffin Dictated but not read.
I love Sugar Pops.
Cookie Crisp, it was like desert for breakfast.
I don't have kids, but even as an adult I still like all of those. :3
My daughter is addicted to KIX.
gotta be Frankenberry & BooBerry.
Cocoa Puffs. So much we named our dog after them (not that we would eat her with milk).
I'm Koo-Koo for Cocoa Puffs...........................but we don't buy them. My boys would eat them on me. They get Yellow Box Cheerios or raisin bran!!
I'm diabetic, so eating pure sugar cereals like most of these are stupid for me. Give me oatmeal.
Reese's Puffs
I always considered Frosted Flakes as a grown up cereal. I guess I never really thought about the giant cartoon tiger on the box...
Raisin Nut Bran (If that can be considered a "kids'" cereal). If not: Marshmallow Fruit Loops.
jelliebaby wrote:Rice Krispies! (and the subsequent Rice Krispies Treats)
ditto here!
Fruity Pebbles, hands down best kids cereal ever.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is amaaaaazing!!
What defines overly sugared cereal as "kids' breakfast cereal?" None of those three words should be applied to this stuff. It's apparent our difficulties with sugar-laden diets in the US start at a very young age if our own parents push stuff that can only possibly qualify as an afternoon snack off as the first meal of the day.
bnbsouthworth wrote:Peanut Butter Crunch. And Kix.
They're called Reese's Puffs, no? And they are the most delicious.
Now it would be Honey Nut Cheerios. As a kid, my favorite was Cookie Crisp. What kid wouldn't want to eat cookies for breakfast?
hamiltwan wrote:They're called Reese's Puffs, no? And they are the most delicious.
Nope. Peanut Butter Crunch is all peanut butter. Reese's Puffs is peanut butter and chocolate. Normally I'd say anything with chocolate is better, but not in this case. Peanut Butter Crunch all the way.
Kix, of course. Kid tested; Mother approved.
Fruity pebbles, FTW!!
phwarrior wrote:Reese's Puffs
I second.
Love the marshmallows in Lucky Charms, but my favorite was Sugar Smacks!
golden grahams. in a bowl with milk, on a peanut butter sandwich, straight out of the box, mixed in with pancakes, on top of ice cream...
Sati wrote:Meh.
Do you serve that with toast?
Cocopuffs I'm Coo Coo for them ;-)
Life Cereal! Hey Mikey, he likes it!
Cheerios is a kids cereal? Oh man, I don't want to grow up!
compunaut wrote:Cheerios is a kids cereal? Oh man, I don't want to grow up!
I don't classify Cheerios as a kids cereal either. Another vote for cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs here. I eat one bowl every 10 years or so. Cheerios I eat semi-regularly.
I look forward to Halloween every year just so I can get me some Booberry cereal.
Golden Grahms !!!
We eat oatmeal or the home made cereal.
redmonst wrote:Cinnamon Toast Crunch is amaaaaazing!!
Agreed. However, as a child I was forced to eat Wheaties, which sog as soon as the milk is taken from the fridge. I made up for it by loading it with a layer of sugar when mom wasn't looking.
Golden Grahams. No contest.
jesssup wrote:Raisin Nut Bran (If that can be considered a "kids'" cereal). If not: Marshmallow Fruit Loops.
I'm pretty sure anything with "Bran" in the title is not considered a "kids" cereal which is convenient because it means I don't have to share my Raisin Bran Crunch with any of my little monsters. ;)

Release of Constituent/Alumni Information
Contact the Following Offices with Questions:
Alumni | Alumni Relations x4205 |
Students | Registrar x4289 |
International Students | Intercultural & International Life x4013 |
Parents | Central Records x4195 |
Staff | Human Resources x4172 |
Faculty | Dean of the College x4303 |
ALUMNI (Note: refers to both graduates and non-graduates)
Carleton College will release "directory" information (addresses, phones, e-mail, class year) only to alumni. Before responding, staff must refer to Advance database to determine if there is an alert on the alum's record.
Carleton College will respect the wishes of all alumni who request that no directory information be released about them to anyone. Staff receiving such requests should forward the directive to Central Records staff for appropriate action.
No information regarding alumni will be given to non-alumni unless:
- it is official government business;
- another educational institution requests such information to locate one of their alumni; or,
- a non-alumnus sends to the Alumni Relations or Central Records offices a note, fax or e-mail message that includes the non-alum's name and mailing address. Staff will forward the message to the alum in question. Contact with the non-alumnus then will be at the initiative of the alumnus.
Requests by an alumnus for a large number of addresses should be submitted in writing and will be fulfilled at the discretion of the Director of Alumni Relations.
To protect alumni from unwanted business solicitations or from a large amount of inappropriate contact, no class, geographic, professional or other lists will be distributed unless:
- the alumnus is serving the College in an approved volunteer capacity (i.e., as a club chair, class agent, admissions representative, reunion committee volunteer or careers coordinator);
- as part of alumni career networking under the direction of the Director of the Career Center; or,
- with the permission of the Director of Alumni Relations.
Information release restrictions determined by an alumnus for any and all on-line alumni directories will apply to all print alumni directories.
Constituent labels will not be sent to non-staff. All special mailings to alumni must be approved by the Director of Alumni Relations. Upon approval, labels should be requested from Development Systems (x4496).
Call reports are for internal use only by members of the division of External Relations and the President. They may not be copied for use by any College volunteer, including trustees.
College volunteers should receive only the prospect and donor information they need to perform their College-related duties.
Carleton College will refrain from disclosing any personally identifiable information contained in a student's education records, except certain information that may be revealed with the consent of the students or as otherwise permitted by law.
Carleton specifically reserves the right to disclose "directory information" to any party without a student's consent. "Directory information" includes information contained in an education record of a student which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.
It includes:
a. a student's name
b. permanent and local college addresses
c. all telephone numbers of record
d. date and place of birth
e. major field of study and concentration
f. participation in officially recognized activities and sports
g. weight and height of members of athletic teams
h. dates of attendance
i. degrees and awards received
j. most recent previous school attended
k. photograph
l. class year
m. e-mail address
Students nonetheless have a right to request that directory information be kept confidential. Such a request should be signed by the student and submitted in writing to the Dean of Students. (Adopted by the board of Trustees, June 17, 1993, upon recommendation of the College Council.) Before responding to requests for student directory information, staff must refer to the Colleague database or the on-line directory (https://apps.carleton.edu/campus/directory/) to determine if information can be released.
For detailed information on Carleton policy for the release of education records to third parties see https://apps.carleton.edu/campus/dos/#diclosure.
Questions about international students should be directed to the Office of Intercultural & International Life (x4013).
No information regarding parents of current and former students is to be released. Please contact the Assistant Vice President for Alumni and Parent Relations with questions (x4734).
Upon request, you may provide:
- job title
- on-campus telephone number
- Carleton e-mail address

The diagnosis of prostate cancer usually begins in your doctor's office during a routine rectal exam followed by a blood test to measure prostate specific antigen (PSA). If your rectal exam shows abnormal changes or your PSA test is elevated, your doctor will need to do further testing to determine if you have cancer, benign prostatic hypertrophy , an infection, or some other condition.
Your doctor will ask about your medical history, including information about possible risk factors related to prostate cancer, and do a physical exam. Your doctor will also do testing to determine the nature of the abnormal cell growth of the prostate.
Tests may include the following:
- Blood tests—Your doctor will take a blood sample to test for prostatic specific antigen (PSA) . This is a chemical that indicates abnormalities in the prostate.
- Transrectal ultrasonography (or ultrasound)—An ultrasound probe is placed into the rectum as close to the prostate as possible. The probe releases painless sound waves that bounce off the inner tissues of the prostate. The echoes produced by the sound waves create a picture on a computer screen that helps distinguish normal prostate tissue from cancerous tissue.
- Transrectal biopsy —The biopsy sample is obtained by inserting a needle through the wall of the rectum into the prostate gland. Transrectal ultrasound is used to guide the doctor in placing the needle into the prostate. The area of the biopsy is usually numbed. This procedure typically takes 10-20 minutes and is performed in the doctor's office.
If cancer is found in the biopsy sample, prognosis and treatment will primarily depend on:
- Stage of the cancer
- PSA value
- Your general health
Staging is a careful attempt to determine the extent and seriousness of the cancer by taking into account the following factors:
- Gleason score—a measure of the aggressiveness of the cancer as seen under the microscope
TNM staging system:
- Tumor size and local spread (T)
- Spread to lymph nodes in the area (N)
- Spread or metastasis to distant organs (M)
In addition to a physical exam, tests used to stage prostate cancer include:
- Urine and blood tests
- Additional physical exam
- X-ray —A test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body, including lungs, bladder, kidney, and lymph nodes.
- Bone scan —A nuclear medicine scan that uses radioactive material injected into your body to detect abnormal areas of bone. This is usually not done unless your PSA is above 10 ng/mL or you have bone pain.
- CT or CAT scan —A type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the body.
- ProstaScint scan —A nuclear medicine scan that uses radioactive material injected into your body to detect prostate cells that may have traveled outside of the prostate. This study is still investigational and has not yet been proven to change disease management .
- MRI scan —A test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of structures inside the body.
- Lymph node biopsy —Tissue samples are taken from the lymph nodes surrounding the prostate and sent to the laboratory for examination.
The TNM staging system is often used to classify cancer of the prostate. The Gleason score is often combined with the TNM system to predict the likelihood of survival over the next five years with treatment. The higher the numbers the worse the prognosis.
Tumor size and local spread (T):
- T0: There is no evidence of tumor.
- T1: The cancer is not felt during a rectal exam nor seen by ultrasound. It is usually found during treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy or during evaluation of an elevated PSA test.
- T2: The cancer can be felt during rectal exam, but is confined to the prostate.
- T3: The cancer has spread just outside the prostate and may involve the seminal vesicles.
- T4: The cancer has spread to local tissues beyond the prostate and seminal vesicles, organs, or lymph nodes.
Spread to lymph nodes (N):
- N0: There is no evidence of cancer in any lymph node.
- N1: Cancer has spread to one nearby lymph node that is < 2 cm in size.
- N2: Cancer has spread to one nearby lymph node 2-5 cm in size or multiple lymph nodes all < 5 cm in size.
- N3: Cancer has spread to any nearby lymph nodes > 5 cm in size.
Spread to distant organs (M):
- M0: There is no evidence of distant spread.
- M1: There is no distant spread to far removed lymph nodes, bones, or other organs.

Built on a foundation of trust, Armstrong has built a reputation of quality and craftsmanship throughout its complete line of flutes. The 303BOS flute offers players the same durability of the student flutes with added tonal color and beauty from the Sterling silver headjoint.
The Sterling silver headjoint gives players more tonal character and flexibility.
Open hole keys provide students the ability to develop and progess into a higher level of playing, encourages proper hand position and provides more clarity in tone.
The offset G key follows the natural contour of flutist's hands and makes playing more comfortable.
The B footjoint allows students to progress into higher level music and makes the 4th octave C speak more clearly when using the gizmo key.
Top adjusting screws provide ease of repair and adjustment to keys.
Built in Elkhart, Indiana, the Armstrong 303BOS flute is designed to last and will enhance the playing experience for flutists of all levels.
In 1931, William Teasdale Armstrong, a highly respected craftsman and a C.G. Conn shop foreman, founded his small flute repair shop in Elkhart, Indiana. Word of his skill and uncompromising commitment to quality quickly spread, and it wasn't long before he was asked to manufacture instruments for professional musicians.
The proud Armstrong heritage passed on to son Edward, who apprenticed under his father and shared his father's attention to detail regarding quality. Edward's concern for quality went well beyond the crafting of professional level instruments. He recognized a need to provide quality instruments to a rapidly growing number of students and community musicians.
In the 1970s, Armstrong developed a "new" flute scale in conjunction with Albert Cooper. Prior to this new scale, flute makers would correct the tuning of A=435 commonly found on flutes by cutting the end of the headjoint to bring pitch up to A=440. While this served to correct the pitch in the center registers, all other octaves did not play in tune. Armstrong and Cooper collaborated together to create a whole new flute with improved performance. Changes would include a tapered headjoint, alterations to dimension of tone holes and tone hole placement. This redesigned flute would become today's 102, 103, and 104 model flute platforms.
In 1984, the Armstrong woodwind company was sold to King Musical Instruments, which later merged with C.G. Conn in 1985 to form United Musical Instruments (UMI). UMI later merged with the Selmer Company in 2002 and created Conn-Selmer, Inc.

Phoronix: Radeon DRM GPU Driver Performance: Linux 3.4 To 3.8
Last week benchmarks were delivered on Phoronix that showed the Intel DRM GPU driver performance between the Linux 3.2 and 3.8 kernels. In this article are similar benchmarks of the Radeon DRM driver in recent kernel releases using AMD graphics hardware but going back only to the Linux 3.4 kernel due to show-stopping issues.
How much can we trust this benchmark if recent comparisons are showing very clearly that Unity can have unpredictable influences on 3D performance?
Nah, i was hope to see supertuxkart 0.8 test on radeon, but nope. Is this true or not .
So, has there been any word to explain the problems with both Prey and Nexuiz here (assuming it is not something like AA being triggered)? Everything else is indeed looking good.
On a HD4650.
This is an oooold and slooow card.
Kind of useless benchmark again...
Lay of Micheal for once there people - the 4650 is probably a very common card to be used by people using the R600g drivers.
To the fullest extend, since Unity was used like it's used to all the way through the entire benchmark? (duh...)
Prey and Nexuiz performance can be explained by actually studying the articale.
- kernel v3.4 makes radeon advertise mesa version 2.1
- kernel v3.5 and higher makes radeon advertise mesa version 3.0

Veterans Service Officer, will she stay or will she go?
Alicia KnadlerIndian Valley Editor
Plumas County Veterans Service Officer Sheryl Austin began preparing to leave her office about 40 days after her contract was terminated by action of the Board of Supervisors in September.
After that many days with no communication from the county about reclassifying her position, she said wasn't interested in remaining in the county employ.
But there was finally some action the day before Veterans Day, though she didn't know it until the following week when she returned from a four-day weekend.
The job announcement was posted on the county's new website, and she received an e-mail from County Administrative Officer Jack Ingstad asking her if she would reconsider her resignation.
Austin does not recall resigning, only stating she was not interested in remaining after that 40 days or so with no word about her future.
"I can't afford to sit around and wait to see if I still have a job," Austin said, and she is definitely not ready to retire.
So she's been looking at veterans service positions available elsewhere.
She enjoys helping veterans, even if all she can provide is an ear or a shoulder.
A veteran herself, Austin first began work under former veterans service officer Richard Turner, less than a year after he entered office.
She was credentialed for veterans service previously, so it was just a matter of renewal to become qualified for the part-time job under Turner.
Becoming a veterans service officer takes training and testing in a process overseen by the federal government, which includes proper protocol for the handling of military records.
For example, if there is no credentialed person to take her place, she will have to give custody of the locked cabinet of records to the service officer of American Legion Post 568.
Several veterans have heard of the situation and have taken possession of their records, in case they need them before the situation is resolved.
Ingstad said the county is asking former veterans service representatives who worked under Austin before budget cutbacks to fill in on an interim basis, until the position is filled. He said veterans would still receive services.
The veterans services office has been moved upstairs in the public health department, where there is a receptionist and a waiting area.
As of early last week, Austin was still unsure what was going to happen. She only knew the long-awaited communication had finally begun, with less than three weeks to go before her contract termination date.
