Phase III | Prevention | Completed | 40 to 80 | NCI | NCI-2009-00880 UCI 97-05, R01CA088078, UCIRVINE-UCI-2002-2261, NCT00118365 |
This randomized phase III trial is studying eflornithine and sulindac to see how well they work compared to a placebo in preventing colorectal cancer in patients with colon polyps. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of eflornithine and sulindac may prevent colorectal cancer. It is not yet known whether eflornithine and sulindac are more effective than a placebo in preventing colorectal cancer
Further Study Information
I. Compare the rate of new adenomatous polyp formation in patients with a history of adenomatous polyps of the colon treated with eflornithine and sulindac vs placebo.
II. Correlate the effects of eflornithine and sulindac on polyamine and prostaglandin content in the flat mucosa with the rate of new adenoma formation in these patients.
III. Compare the rate of side effects in patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to participating center and aspirin use (yes vs no).
Patients receive oral double placebo once daily for 4 weeks. Patients who are more than 70% compliant by pill measurement or self reporting are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Arm I: Patients receive oral double placebo once daily.
Arm II: Patients receive oral eflornithine (DFMO) and oral sulindac once daily.
In both arms, treatment continues for 36 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or the development of an invasive malignancy.

It's 1 AM and there's a guy outside my house belting out Bennie and The Jets. He stops in between verses to puke. I'm joining him.
guys i just found a dildo in the laundry room and its purple
whats a dildo? isnt that like a fancy piece of bread?
Spent 30 minutes in the board meeting trying to figure out where the foul smell was coming from. Thought it was the guy's feet sitting next to me. Then i uncrossed my legs. Turns out it was my vagina. Thank goodness for travel size febreeeze.
I'm bakin' bread in my pussy!
I have a yeast infection.
he said my vag tasted like ravioli n pennies... i forgot I was on my period
Dude, I found out the hard way that she wipes back to front. I ate her out and had to throw up.
I was eating her out when she coughed, I just swallowed a bright red blood clot
and then I told her I was too drunk. She started to cry, and told me this always happens to her and that she thinks shes ugly. I pretended I was asleep and then she farted.
just caught grandpa beating off in the living room
So I went home with some chick last night... I'm not sue what's worse: not getting a nut at 5am, the condom breaking and not being replaced, feeling poo when I put my finger in her but, sleeping on a heroin mattress in her living room, her swine flu coughing fit at 7am or realizing she peed the matt at 10am. Actually it was probably the fact that she continuously told me she was the classiest girl in boulder.
don't let me wipe my vag with a dirty leaf outside of mcdonalds ever again.
Be still, my beating vagina.
she walked out and i tried to get her to come back but i couldn't remember her name so i just whistled... future reference: that doesn't work
I never thought your mom would see me throwing up on my hands and knees in your front yard
Thank God they found balloon boy, I was afraid that Michael Jackson was ordering take out from heaven.
I told you I was good to drive
dumbass I drove... you sat in the passengers seat and steered with a paper plate
At McDonald's last night the guy gave you the wrong kind of McFlurry, so you screamed at him, "YOU MCFUCKED UP."
so I was just driving high and I stopped to let a pinecone cross the road because I thought it was a hedgehog.
I would do horrible things to your vagina.
Prove it.

"In his short career, Stanley G. Weinbaum revolutionized science fiction. We are still exploring the themes he gave us. How good to have this early work again, and now with the author's complete text. It is not only of great historical interest, it is a colorful, inventive, and exciting story." Poul Anderson |
"During the single year of 1935, Astounding published seven stories by Weinbaum; and in March 1936 . . . his obituary. His entire career had spanned little more than eighteen months, and is the saddest 'what might have been' in the whole history of science fiction." Arthur C Clarke |
"Somehow [Weinbaum] had the imagination to envisage wholly alien situations and psychologies and entities, to devise consistent events from wholly alien motives and to refrain from the cheap dramatics in which all adventure-pulpists wallow. " H P Lovecraft |
"Stanley G. Weinbaum's name deserves to rank with those of Wells and Heinlein - and no more than a handful of others - as among the great shapers of modern science fiction. Sadly, most of the marvelous works he produced in his all too brief career were in the form of short stories and novelettes, and so are overlooked by many of today's readers. Which is all the more reason to rejoice that Tachyon Publications has brought his novel, The Black Flame, back into print for us to read - and moreover, for the first time, it is published just as Weinbaum wrote it. " Frederik Pohl |
When The Black Flame was first published in 1939, Stanley G. Weinbaum had already been dead for three years. By that time, over 18,000 words had been excised or edited from the original manuscript. The intact manuscript, held by Sam Moskowitz, was auctioned off to Forrest J Ackerman at the First World Science Fiction Convention in 1939. It was subsequently stolen from his collection and never recovered. The publication of this edition was made possible by the discovery of a carbon copy of the manuscript in a trunk of Weinbaum's papers found in the basement of his grandson's house in Denver, Colorado.

Volume 16, Number 8—August 2010
Lethal Necrotizing Pneumonia Caused by an ST398 Staphylococcus aureus Strain
On This Page
Suggested citation for this article
To the Editor: Several recent studies have shown massive colonization of livestock (especially pigs) and livestock workers by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in western Europe, Canada, and the United States (1,2). Livestock MRSA isolates belong almost exclusively to a single sequence type, ST398. Evidence of zoonotic and interhuman transmission of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible variants of this hitherto unusual sequence type was recently reported (1,3). S. aureus ST398 infections in humans with or without a history of contact with livestock include bacteremia, endocarditis, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and wound infections, none of which involve the expression of specific toxins. Indeed, ST398 isolates are negative for all major virulence factors, with the exception of some rare isolates that harbor the genes that encode the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) (1), a toxin that is usually associated with community-acquired MRSA (4). We report a case of lethal necrotizing pneumonia caused by a PVL-positive methicillin-susceptible ST398 S. aureus isolate.
A previously healthy 14-year-old girl came to the emergency room with influenza-like illness, cough, fever, and a 2-day history of severe abdominal pain. She was given intravenous antibacterial chemotherapy with cefotaxime and amikacin. An exploratory laparotomy showed no signs of abdominal disease. Immediately after surgery, acute respiratory distress syndrome with hemodynamic instability developed in the patient; mechanical ventilation and inotropic support were required. A chest radiograph showed bilateral pulmonary infiltrates and pleural effusion. S. aureus was isolated by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood culture, and staphylococcal necrotizing pneumonia was diagnosed. Clinical features, including the preceding influenza-like illness, were highly consistent with those previously reported (5). However, viral cultures and immunofluorescence assays were negative for all common respiratory viruses, and, although the patient had positive serologic test results for influenza B virus, antibody titers were too low to affirm influenza B infection. Severity f factors were present (5), including leukopenia, airway bleeding, and multiorgan failure. She died 6 days after symptom onset, with refractory shock and respiratory failure caused by bilateral pneumothorax. The S. aureus strain, which was susceptible to all tested antimicrobial agents except macrolides, was agr1/ST398, spa-type t571 and nontypeable by SmaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, which showed its relatedness to livestock-associated strains. The origin of the infection could not be determined. The presence of the genes encoding PVL was confirmed by PCR.
Thus, the spread of S. aureus ST398 among livestock is a matter of increasing concern because strains of this sequence type were able to acquire PVL genes and cause necrotizing pneumonia in a young immunocompetent patient. Transmission control and surveillance efforts are urgently needed to prevent further spread of such strains.

Patent Office Governance and Patent System QualityPierre M. PicardCentre de Recherche en Économie Appliquée (CREA); Universite du Luxembourg Bruno Van Pottelsberghe de la PotterieFree University of Brussels - Solvay Business School; Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) - Department of Applied Economics (DULBEA); Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) April 2011 CEPR Discussion Paper No. DP8338 Abstract: The present paper discusses the role of quality in patent systems from the perspective of patent offices' behavior and organization. After documenting original stylized facts, the paper presents a model in which patent offices set patent fees and the quality level of their examination processes. Various objectives of patent offices' governors are considered. We show that the quality of the patent system is maximal for the patent office that maximises either the social welfare or its own profit. Quality is lower for the self-funded patent office maximizing the number of patent applications and even smaller for the self-funded patent office maximizing the number of granted patents. A labor union improves examination quality and may compensate for the potentialy inappropriate objectives of patent office management.

Pimp my sleigh: Santa's new ride
- Santa's new sleigh
- Eight top designers put to work
- Reindeer expect P45 very soon
This year, German news website Spiegel asked eight major car manufacturers to come up with an improvement, and it looks as though those reindeer could be heading out of a job and onto a menu.
The new sleigh designs
BMW's designers based their sleigh on a Mini Convertible: a compact but chic way to travel, although we're not sure there's enough room in that tiny boot for many stocking fillers.
Porsche fitted skis in place of the front wheels on a Panamera to help glide Santa and his deer along in luxury; the presents will have to make do with a trailer and tow rope.
If Santa is hoping to attract attention he'd better opt for the racy red Mercedes sleigh: it looks like a cross between an E-Class estate and a high-speed catamaran. Plenty of room in the back for the pressies, too.
Even more eco-friendly than a reindeer?
Several designers focused on the clean, green transport of the future. Mazda's MX-Mas offering looks the least car-like. The flying sleigh has sleek aerodynamic lines but almost no room for the presents.
Ford chose to go for a small, economical model: the C-Max on sleigh runners has snazzy sliding rear doors and a spoiler, too.
Enough of Vauxhall's woes in 2009 – designers at its European arm Opel came up with something straight out of Star Trek for Santa to zip around the globe.
Santa's traditional 9brp (brake reindeer power) engine may be economical, depending on the price of hay, but VW reckons it can do nearly as well with a take on the new '1l' (one litre) diesel hybrid car which it showed at the Frankfurt motor show 2009. It's designed to travel 100km on just one litre of diesel (that's around 235mpg!)
Happy Christmas!

Known as the "happy island," Bali is an Indonesian island just 2 km off of the island of Java. The island is abundant with flowers, lush vegetation and smiling faces more than willing to welcome you to your temporary home. And since Bali is relatively inexpensive, traveling within the island is not likely to overtax your pocketbook; the most expensive part will most likely be the flight that gets you there.
Get a U.S. passport, or if you already have one, check your passport's expiration date. According to the U.S. Department of State, travelers will not be admitted into Indonesia without six months' validity left on their passport. Additionally, you will need two empty pages in your passport to enter Bali. If your passport is set to expire in six months or less, you have less than two pages left in your passport, or don't have a passport at all, visit the Department of State's "Passports" website to get your passport in order.
Book your travel. If you plan to fly into Bali, a number of airlines provide the transportation directly to the island via Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, including Continental Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas and Air Asia. If you book your flight through an online booking agent, type in the airport code "DPS" to book your flight to Bali. You also can get to Bali via ferry from Java, the main island of Indonesia. Ferries leave from Ketapang in Java several times a day and take you across the Lombok Strait to the western end of Bali. Typically, there is no need to reserve ahead of time -- just show up at the ferry dock and pay for the next crossing.
Book your accommodations. From the exquisite mountainside accommodations at the Taman Wana Villas and Spa near the West Bali National Park to the affordable and accessible digs at the Stana Puri Gopa Hotel near the capital city of Denpasar, Bali offers a wide array of choices for hotels, guest houses and vacation homes. To narrow your search and save some money, consider bundling your travel and booking the rooms offered through the online agent you used for your flight, or browse the options provided by the "In Bali Hotels" website.
Pack for warm weather and the occasional rainstorm. Bali's temperatures vary from the high 60s to the 90s F, so no cold weather gear is needed. If you're traveling between December and March, expect rainstorms, as this is the island's monsoon season.
Complete your visa documents. According to the U.S. Department of State, travelers from the United States who are coming to Bali for pleasure can get a visa on arrival into Indonesia -- whether it be Bali or other islands. You will need to fill out a form at the borderand pay a $25 fee, and customs officials should issue you a 30-day visa on the spot.

Java Persistence/OneToMany
A OneToMany
relationship in Java is where the source object has an attribute that stores a collection of target objects and if those target objects had the inverse relationship back to the source object it would be a ManyToOne
relationship. All relationships in Java and JPA are unidirectional, in that if a source object references a target object there is no guarantee that the target object also has a relationship to the source object. This is different than a relational database, in which relationships are defined through foreign keys and querying such that the inverse query always exists.
JPA also defines a ManyToMany
relationship, which is similar to a OneToMany
relationship except that the inverse relationship (if it were defined) is a ManyToMany
relationship. The main difference between a OneToMany
and a ManyToMany
relationship in JPA is that a ManyToMany
always makes use of an intermediate relational join table to store the relationship, whereas a OneToMany
can either use a join table, or a foreign key in target object's table referencing the source object table's primary key. If the OneToMany
uses a foreign key in the target object's table JPA requires that the relationship be bi-directional (inverse ManyToOne
relationship must be defined in the target object), and the source object must use the mappedBy
attribute to define the mapping.
In JPA a OneToMany
relationship is defined through the @OneToMany
annotation or the <one-to-many>
Example of a OneToMany relationship database[edit]
EMPLOYEE (table)
1 | Bob | Way | 50000 | 2 |
2 | Sarah | Smith | 75000 | null |
PHONE (table)
1 | home | 613 | 792-0000 | 1 |
2 | work | 613 | 896-1234 | 1 |
3 | work | 416 | 123-4444 | 2 |
Example of a OneToMany relationship and inverse ManyToOne annotations[edit]
@Entity public class Employee { @Id @Column(name="EMP_ID") private long id; ... @OneToMany(mappedBy="owner") private List<Phone> phones; ... }
@Entity public class Phone { @Id private long id; ... @ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY) @JoinColumn(name="OWNER_ID") private Employee owner; ... }
Example of a OneToMany relationship and inverse ManyToOne XML[edit]
<entity name="Employee" class="org.acme.Employee" access="FIELD"> <attributes> <id name="id"/> <one-to-many name="phones" target-entity="org.acme.Phone" mapped-by="owner"/> </attributes> </entity>
<entity name="Phone" class="org.acme.Phone" access="FIELD"> <attributes> <id name="id"/> <many-to-one name="owner" fetch="LAZY"> <join-column name="OWNER_ID"/> </many-to-one> </attributes> </entity>
Note this @OneToMany
mapping requires an inverse @ManyToOne
mapping to be complete, see ManyToOne.
Getters and Setters[edit]
As the relationship is bi-directional so as the application updates one side of the relationship, the other side should also get updated, and be in synch. In JPA, as in Java in general it is the responsibility of the application, or the object model to maintain relationships. If your application adds to one side of a relationship, then it must add to the other side.
This can be resolved through add or set methods in the object model that handle both sides of the relationships, so the application code does not need to worry about it. There are two ways to go about this, you can either only add the relationship maintenance code to one side of the relationship, and only use the setter from one side (such as making the other side protected), or add it to both sides and ensure you avoid an infinite loop.
For example:
public class Employee { private List phones; ... public void addPhone(Phone phone) { this.phones.add(phone); if (phone.getOwner() != this) { phone.setOwner(this); } } ... }
public class Phone { private Employee owner; ... public void setOwner(Employee employee) { this.owner = employee; if (!employee.getPhones().contains(this)) { employee.getPhones().add(this); } } ... }
Some expect the JPA provider to have magic that automatically maintains relationships. This was actually part of the EJB CMP 2 specification. However the issue is if the objects are detached or serialized to another VM, or new objects are related before being managed, or the object model is used outside the scope of JPA, then the magic is gone, and the application is left figuring things out, so in general it may be better to add the code to the object model. However some JPA providers do have support for automatically maintaining relationships.
In some cases it is undesirable to instantiate a large collection when adding a child object. One solution is to not map the bi-directional relationship, and instead query for it as required. Also some JPA providers optimize their lazy collection objects to handle this case, so you can still add to the collection without instantiating it.
Join Table[edit]
A common mismatch between objects and relational tables is that a OneToMany
does not require a back reference in Java, but requires a back reference foreign key in the database. Normally it is best to define the ManyToOne
back reference in Java, if you cannot or don't want to do this, then you can use an intermediate join table to store the relationship. This is similar to a ManyToMany
relationship, but if you add a unique constraint to the target foreign key you can enforce that it is OneToMany
JPA defines a join table using the @JoinTable
annotation and <join-table>
XML element. A JoinTable
can be used on a ManyToMany
or OneToMany
See also, Undirectional OneToMany
Example of a OneToMany using a JoinTable database[edit]
EMPLOYEE (table)
1 | Bob | Way |
2 | Sarah | Smith |
EMP_PHONE (table)
1 | 1 |
1 | 2 |
2 | 3 |
PHONE (table)
1 | home | 613 | 792-0000 |
2 | work | 613 | 896-1234 |
3 | work | 416 | 123-4444 |
Example of a OneToMany using a JoinTable annotation[edit]
@Entity public class Employee { @Id @Column(name="EMP_ID") private long id; ... @OneToMany @JoinTable ( name="EMP_PHONE", joinColumns={ @JoinColumn(name="EMP_ID", referencedColumnName="EMP_ID") }, inverseJoinColumns={ @JoinColumn(name="PHONE_ID", referencedColumnName="ID", unique=true) } ) private List<Phone> phones; ... }
Example of a OneToMany using a JoinTable XML[edit]
<entity name="Employee" class="org.acme.Employee" access="FIELD"> <attributes> <id name="id"> <column name="EMP_ID"/> </id> <one-to-many name="phones"> <join-table name="EMP_PHONE"> <join-column name="EMP_ID" referenced-column-name="EMP_ID"/> <inverse-join-column name="PHONE_ID" referenced-column-name="ID" unique="true" /> </join-table> </one-to-many> </attributes> </entity>

Common Problems[edit]
Object not in collection after refresh.[edit]
- See Object corruption.
Unidirectional OneToMany, No Inverse ManyToOne, No Join Table (JPA 2.0 ONLY)[edit]
JPA 1.0 does not support a unidirectional OneToMany
relationship without a JoinTable
. JPA 2.0 will have support for a unidirectional OneToMany
. In JPA 2.0 a @JoinColumn
can be used on a OneToMany
to define the foreign key, some JPA providers may support this already.
The main issue with an unidirectional OneToMany
is that the foreign key is owned by the target object's table, so if the target object has no knowledge of this foreign key, inserting and updating the value is difficult. In a unidirectional OneToMany
the source object take ownership of the foreign key field, and is responsible for updating its value.
The target object in a unidirectional OneToMany
is an independent object, so it should not rely on the foreign key in any way, i.e. the foreign key cannot be part of its primary key, nor generally have a not null constraint on it. You can model a collection of objects where the target has no foreign key mapped, but uses it as its primary key, or has no primary key using a Embeddable
collection mapping, see Embeddable Collections.
If your JPA provider does not support unidirectional OneToMany
relationships, then you will need to either add a back reference ManyToOne
or a JoinTable
. In general it is best to use a JoinTable
if you truly want to model a unidirectional OneToMany
on the database.
There are some creative workarounds to defining a unidirectional OneToMany
. One is to map it using a JoinTable
, but make the target table the JoinTable
. This will cause an extra join, but work for the most part for reads, writes of course will not work correctly, so this is only a read-only solution and a hacky one at that.
Example of a JPA 2.0 unidirectional OneToMany relationship database[edit]

2 | Sarah | Smith |
PHONE (table)
1 | home | 613 | 792-0000 | 1 |

3 | work | 416 | 123-4444 | 2 |
Example of a JPA 2.0 unidirectional OneToMany relationship annotations[edit]
@Entity public class Employee { @Id @Column(name="EMP_ID") private long id; ... @OneToMany @JoinColumn(name="OWNER_ID", referencedColumnName="EMP_ID") private List<Phone> phones; ... }
@Entity public class Phone { @Id private long id; ... }

Official Press Release
Los Angeles, CA - BOOM! gives horror legend H.P. Lovecraft's prose poem NYARLATHOTEP new life in a handsome hardcover edition, featuring illustrations by Chuck BB (BLACK METAL)! A must-have for Lovecraft fans, Lovecraft's original prose poem, a legendary cornerstone of the Cthulhu mythos, is reprinted in its entirety and visually interpreted by one of comics' most extraordinary new talents.
"I was absolutely excited to take on a Lovecraft project," said illustrator extraordinaire Chuck BB. "What appeals to me so much about Lovecraft's writing is that he is able to express a level of scariness that is less about spooking you, and more about making you feel small and insignificant in an unexplored world. Lovecraft speaks of a force that is beyond the comprehension of human beings, bigger than any religion could possibly offer, and older than time itself."
"Adapting a Lovecraft story is challenging, as the descriptions are...well... non-descript. This is of course part of the charm of his stories, the idea that what the humans in the tales see are something that they can not comprehend, and thusly can not put down in concise words."
H.P. LOVECRAFT'S NYARLATHOTEP will be a 32 page exquisite hardcover edition with illustrations by Chuck BB. Priced at $14.99 it has a Diamond item order code of SEP083817.

Monkey Business (Part 4: August)
In past years, Hollywood purposely counter programmed these renowned Cineplex dog days, trying to offset the perception that cinematic scraps were all the studios had to offer. From the look of this lame list, it's apparently back to the filmic fridge for some patently warmed over offerings.

Monkey Business (Part 3: July)
Finally, a month with only one remaining series contender. All wizard based Potter-y aside, this will be the most tenuous time for the business called show. After a strong start, the eccentric collection of entertainments here could make or break this potentially record shattering motion picture season.

Canadian Fan - Unregistered March 26, 2012 10:13 AM I'm hoping Ben has an awesome season, I will get to see him race live this year. Have tickets bought for Indianapolis GP in Aug, first GP race for me. Super excited.

Bradenws March 26, 2012 10:37 AM We all know Spies can ride and race, but he needs to show more than just flashes of brilliance this year. He needs to gain a little more raw pace to really keep up. Here's hoping his races start as well as they usually end, like at Assen and Jerez last year. He just needs to do it more. Reply Report abuse 12 agree 0 disagree

John - Unregistered March 26, 2012 3:53 PM I worry about how close the tech 3 guys are and Rossi. It could get embarassing for him if he is dicing with the likes of Rossi and Crutchlow whilst Lorenzo and Stoner duke it out for the title 5 agree 2 disagree
RocketR1 March 26, 2012 4:19 PM Last Edited 1117 days ago @Canadian FanIm also from the East coast and attended the Indy GP last year..No other Motorcycle racing is even close to GP Racing!!!Ben will turn it up come race day,if he can get a good start look out because we all saw how fast he was even when he had problems early in a race.As for Dicing it with Rossi and Cal..I hope those guys are Fast enough to run up front thats what makes Racing Fun to watch!Come on April 8th!!! Reply Report abuse 6 agree 0 disagree
gg_hh - Unregistered March 26, 2012 5:06 PM I like Ben, but I'm starting to wonder if he's hit the ceiling. It's not an easy thing to match Stoner, Lorenzo, & Pedrosa as no one has done it yet. As amazing of a rider Ben is, I believe current MotoGP bikes favor strong 250cc riding styles. You either have that or you don't. You can't just SWITCH to that style and expect to be great. 3 agree 8 disagree
Don-R March 26, 2012 6:24 PM "I believe current MotoGP bikes favor strong 250cc riding styles."That might have been true of the 800s but I don't think so much with the 1000s. The extra torque and hp allow a much greater variety of lines through corners and are more conducive to the classic 'point and squirt' Superbike style.Where I think Spies might score some advantage this year is in his proven pace on worn tyres. The new Bridgestones degrade more quickly in comparison to the previous hard compound, so races may well favour the guy who is comfortable sliding the bike around on shot tyres.

BillAce - Unregistered March 26, 2012 6:46 PM Don-RAgreed, I think Ben might just need a little bit more speed at the start. Combine that with the new tires and the top guys could start coming back to him at the end and give him a chance and he has always been great under those circumstances in the past. 1 agree 1 disagree
gg_hh - Unregistered March 26, 2012 7:40 PM Don-R,Agree to Disagree. Most of the top riders have already said that 1000's still need to ridden like an 800 to go fast. Regarding tire degradation over race distance, I initially believed as you do but studying the race simulations it's clear that not much has changed from last season. Jorge, Casey, & Dani's lap times aren't dropping off enough even as the tires wear. Ben's race simulation is consistently 3-4 tenths off their pace. Ben is a great rider...perhaps clearly even the 4th best rider in MotoGP, but he's not able to match those three guys--at least not yet. He's already dropped his "elbows" out style to try and ride more like Lorenzo's 250 style and it hasn't really helped enough. He's only 1/10 quicker than Crutchlow. I guess we'll just see what happens, but I'm starting to wonder. He just may not be able to go fast enough to catch the top three. 3 agree 2 disagree
Iddor - Unregistered March 26, 2012 8:49 PM The only time you see Ben Spies at 100% is on race day. 12 agree 2 disagree

Piedras Negras Archaeology, 1931-1939
John M. Weeks, Jane A. Hill, and Charles W. Golden
512 pages | 8 1/2 x 11 | 94 illus.

Distributed for the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
Situated on the banks of the Usumacinta River in northwestern Guatemala, Piedras Negras is an important Maya site known for its carved monuments and panels. Between 1931 and 1938 the University Museum conducted research at Piedras Negras, excavating the site core, producing an excellent site map, and documenting architectural developments to an unprecedented standard. Project member Tatiana Proskouriakoff revolutionized Maya historiography with her architectural reconstructions and visionary synthesis of the position and dating of texts and monuments at the site. Innovative excavation methods included test pitting, probing in more modest structures, and the identification of new building types such as sweat baths. More importantly, the Piedras Negras project developed the logistical and methodological criteria that are now standard in the field. Fewer than a dozen copies of the preliminary papers were issued between 1933 and 1936; the later descriptive and interpretive essays of the architecture series have likewise become rare.
Piedras Negras Archaeology, 1931-1939 reintroduces to the scholarly community and public these pioneering works, meticulously scanned and edited from the fragile originals, with all the maps, tables, line art, and photographs from the initial reports, and an interpretive essay and index for modern readers.
John M. Weeks is Librarian at the University Museum Library; he has conducted archaeological investigations in New York, Wyoming, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras. Jane A. Hill, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, has done fieldwork in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas, as well as at Giza, Abydos, and Luxor. Charles W. Golden, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Brandeis University, has done fieldwork in Honduras and Belize and is director of the Sierra del Lacandon Regional Archaeological Project in Guatemala.

Runner Up @Elvisliveson
And I never win anything... I won two contests with the same pick though.
Nice call, Valley!
After watching the contest enough, there really hasn't been any reason to guess any others. You'd almost think I had insider information...
I almost picked Luke Donald for this contest but decided that since I already went with Kaymer before I might as well stick with it.
Thanks for the congrats guys.
WTG Valley..Congratz on winning...Ummm, can I consult with you on the next one..?

Book blog readership has grown exponentially and a new study says that so has the influence of blogs on book sales. The study, conducted by Jupiter Research and BuzzLogic, found that blogs "have more impact on purchase decisions than social networks," and that "Blogs create a conversation and trusted resource that influences purchase decision." According to a report on ClickZ, "The survey also finds consumers are influenced by blogs at the moment of purchase decision... likely because bloggers establish themselves as an authority on a topic, particularly in niche areas, and create a relationship with the consumer."

Chen can lead Taiwan to recovery: presidentThe China Post news staff October 18, 2012, 12:06 am TWN President Ma Ying-jeou yesterday stressed to local business heavyweights that he believes Premier Sean Chen can guide Taiwan along the road to economic recovery.
Following a failed but conversation-starting bid by the major opposition party to topple the Cabinet, the premier promised to deliver "concrete" results within three months or step down. Pundits are speculating that the premier-president relationship is growing strained, and that the premier is eyeing a resignation date of Christmas Day. Ma said yesterday that he is lined up squarely behind the premier. Chen is leading the Cabinet and Taiwan through challenging straits, said Ma yesterday at the Third Wednesday Club (三三會), Taiwan's largest business community. Chen is trying to take concrete actions to improve the economy, said Ma, who added that the premier has his support. "I believe that Chen can — step by step — guide Taiwan along the road to recovery," said Ma. Meanwhile at a separate venue, Chen was also fielding questions about his relationship with the president. Asked if it's true "that out of any president since 1949, Ma is the least respectful of his premier," Chen said that he "has never thought through the comparison." Chen told local media that he does not know how to define "least respectful." But while he and Ma do not agree on every single issue, they do share a mutual understanding of each other's personalities. There are no psychological barriers in their communication, said Chen. First Visit Ma yesterday delivered the keynote address in what was his first visit to a Third Wednesday Club luncheon since 2008. His decision to go during Taiwan's economic downturn may be a gambit to draw investment and other support for his administration's package of "economy power-up" policies. To the audience yesterday, Ma focused on two of the four "government directions" he first announced in his National Day address. The government is striving to revitalize the job market by lowering investment barriers, as well as to restructure Taiwan's industry environment to boost salaries, he said. Over the next three years, the government plans to restructure local industry by investing to the tune of NT$100 billion. His administration is also set to create some 10,000 jobs in new industries, he said. Ma said that Taiwan's machinery sector is highly competitive at the global level. Over the last three years, sector growth has averaged 29 percent a year. By 2013, output value is expected to surpass NT$1 trillion, he said. Chiang Pin-kung Takes Chair Also yesterday, Chiang Pin-kung (江丙坤) stepped up to replace Jeffrey Koo, Sr. (辜濂松) as chairman of the Third Wednesday Club. Chiang said yesterday that the local business community is already reaping fruits from the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA). Once Taiwan completes follow-up ECFA talks, the country is poised to become the best investment grounds for Japanese business interests seeking to enter the mainland market, according to Chiang. Chiang is a former chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation and current vice chairman of the Kuomintang. He and Koo, the chairman of Chinatrust Commercial Bank, co-founded the Third Wednesday Club in 1999.
1 Comment October 18, 2012 Patrick@ The efforts of this government at transforming the country into a regional hub of any kind are woefully inadequate and are forcing companies which would like to use Taiwan to seek alternatives. One has even found it cheaper to base its Asian logistics in The Netherlands since customs rules, bonded warehousing costs and port charges were so expensive and user unfriendly. It is too late and Taiwan must get to grips with the next big thing of the future and not play catch-up. |
