Burson Dual opamp HELP
I just got a pair of Burson Dual discrete opamp and installed it on my Philips cd620.
But I do not know how to ground the op amp. It is suggested that I can ground it to a RCA connector, but there is obvious noise with I ground it to the RCA(-ve side). Please give me some help. Thank you. |

Why do they need a separate ground. They can't be a "direct replacement" if extra connections required. I would suggest you earth it to a signal ground close to the op-amp. See if pins 2 or 3 connect either directly to ground or if they connect via a single resistor to ground. If you are not sure you need a meter to measue ohms to locate. Was there no documentation supplied ?

Should be no noise!
They can surely be a direct replacement. However Burson recommend to ground them, for better performance. I have done this, and there are no any problems with the grounding. Just locate a signal ground near the OpAmps. Use a meter if needed (as advised above). Should be no noise!.

Thx so much.
YES, There is no document supplied. I will try to use a meter to find a ground but how to use ohm to locate a ground? |

O.K. First you need to be happy using a meter on LOW ohms range i.e. can you reliably measure down to 1 ohm. Make sure the power to player is off. The outer part of the phono sockets on rear panel is a signal ground (there may be others). You say you connected to this point and the result was poor. Double check this again, and make sure connection is to this "outer" part of socket. Solder the wire to this ground on the P.C.B. at the socket and use meter to check that this point is ZERO ohms as measured from the outer part of socket to the wire. I still find it unbelievable that precise fitting instructions are not provided. If you are sure this is no good and you have noise then I wonder if the "ground wire" should even be connected to a signal ground at all. Without having one of these modules to examine it's impossible to say. It may be that this is a P.S.U. ground. Philips players often have many separate grounds to isolate various parts of the circuit and it is important to use the correct one. I would suggest you contact Burson and ask if this is a signal or P.S.U. ground wire.

With Tuesday's Primary Election in the rearview mirror, officials are beginning to plan for the November election, and they said some help from citizens would make things run more smoothly.
"One big problem we had was people not knowing where to vote," said Sue Carole Perry, Shelby County clerk.
After redistricting went into affect last year, many voters, she said, were turning up at the wrong polling precincts.
Linda Armstrong, district judge of the 53rd Judicial District since 1998, announced her resignation Monday morning.
Armstrong withdrew from the judicial race in the 2014 Election just before the filing deadline in January, citing health issues. She said at that time that she didn't know if she would serve the remainder of her term, and in Monday's statement, she reiterated those concerns.
Her last day on the bench will be March 16, and the decision for replacing her would fall to Gov. Steve Beshear after a complicated judicial process.
Longtime District Court Judge Linda Armstrong surprisingly withdrew late Tuesday as a candidate for re-election, and the process she used to declare that has come under scrutiny.
Armstrong, who since 1998 has sat the bench in District 53 Division 1, cited health and personal reasons for deciding to withdraw her name as a candidate in the 2014 election, a decision she said she made on Sunday evening.
But on Monday, during a meeting of the Shelby County bar association, Armstrong made no announcement to area lawyers that she would not run.
Superintendent James Neihof and Assistant Superintendent of Operations Kerry Whitehouse informed the Shelby County School Board on Thursday that they want to reinitiate the process of forming a Local Planning Committee to set future building and renovation plans.
That committee consists of district personnel, student's parents selected by the Site-based Decision Making Councils from each school, teachers and three members of the community. It is charged with putting together a 4-year plan for the district's new construction and renovations.
Shelby County Public Schools Superintendent James Neihof wants to get ahead of the curve in how the district judges his performance.
Neihof asked the Shelby County Board of Education at Thursday's meeting to adjust his annual performance review to the pilot program of the state's NextGen standards. The standards are set up through the same process as the school and teacher standards that are being implemented and the standards that will be coming for administration, as well.
The Shelby County Board of Education meeting was overflowing with guests on Thursday to celebrate the successes of four returning students and one overachiever.
The board welcomed students who had returned to school to earn high school diplomas with the Diploma Recovery program after dropping out of school, and dozens of family, friends and former teachers were on hand to congratulate them.
Over a campaign trail encompassing 20 counties, Thomas Massie, a former Republican Lewis County judge-executive has emerged victorious in Shelby County in the 4th Congressional District race.
Thomas Massie rolled to victory over William Adkins, a Grant County attorney, to replace Geoff Davis, a 4-term Republican incumbent. Shelby is new to the 4th District this fall.
Voters in Simpsonville seem happy with their veteran city commissioners.
They voted overwhelmingly to return to office four incumbents who have served as one commission since 2008, when Sharon Cummins first was elected.
Vicky Wise, who has served on the commission since 1996, overcame a year of health problems to earn re-election, and she will be joined again by Scott McDowell, Cary Vowels and Cummins. Mayor Steve Eden, who has served 18 years, is in the middle of his 4-year term.
Election Day dawned cold but sunny, although a bit rough around the edges for the Shelby County Clerk's office, that had a few problems getting some polling places up and running due to a shortage of election officers to work at the precincts, something that has been a problem in the past, said County Clerk Sue Carole Perry.
"We had a hard time getting open because some precinct officers didn't show up, you know, the usual thing," she said. "I prayed real hard last night and this morning both that everything would go well."
Vicky Wise, the longest tenured member of the Simpsonville City Commission, quietly is pursuing a ninth term in the General Election.
Wise first was elected in 1996, and only Mayor Steve Eden has served longer (18 years as mayor).
Wise has not returned campaign information forms sent to her via E-mail nor responded to telephone messages, so she has provided no information about her plans in pursuing this term.

Mladovsky, Philipa and Mossialos, Elias (2008) A conceptual framework for community-based health insurance in low-income countries: social capital and economic development. World Development, 36 (4). pp. 590-607. ISSN 0305-750X
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The international policy model linking community-based health insurance (CBHI) and universal coverage for health care in low-income countries is implicitly determined by the development of mutual health insurance in 19th century Europe and Japan. The economic and health system frameworks employed in CBHI policy have not sufficiently taken into account contextual considerations. Social capital theories could contribute to understanding why generally CBHI does not achieve significant and sustainable levels of population coverage. A framework of social capital and economic development is used to organize and interpret existing evidence on CBHI. This suggests that solidarity, trust, extra-community networks, vertical civil society links, and state–society relations affect the success of CBHI. Aligning schemes to "social determinants" of CBHI could result in structures that differ from those proposed by current analytic frameworks.

Drew Doughty is arguably the Kings' best defenseman at 18 years old, and Oscar Moller, who seems likely to remain with the Kings this year, is just 19. Of course, the Kings are young overall, but Terry Murray was asked why so many players are doing so well in the NHL at such a young age.
"Since '04, the demands and the importance of managing your cap the right way is bringing lots of young players into the game today," Murray said. "The young guys today are good players. They're coming through programs where they're young kids and highly skilled. They play a lot of games and play 12 months a year up in Canada now or even in Europe and the U.S. There's plenty of experience, and we're welcoming these young players. We have 30 teams in the league and we need to keep bringing these young guys in the game. It's a high-skilled, fast-paced game and they can bring it every night."

The Other Girl: A Midvale Academy Novel

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this book features all kinds of racy material, from the main character planning to have sex with her boyfriend in the school's chapel to a scene where an underage girl makes out with a creepy dean as part of an elaborate scheme. There is swearing, drug use, and sex among the teens at Midvale Prep -- and the prettiest girl at school pretty much starves herself in an effort to look thinner.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's the story?
This is a follow-up to Miller'sInside the Mind of Gideon Rayburn. But this time, instead of seeing and hearing everything that her boyfriend has to say, Molly finds herself alternately in the mind of super beautiful Pilar Binitez-Jones -- a girl whom Gideon (and every other boy at school) has a crush on. This leads to some majorly soul-crushing moments, like at an academic competition when Pilar thinks about Gideon: "If we win tonight... I will sleep with him, and I will totally try to stay with him too." But eventually, though her ESP, Molly is able to make some smart insights about the insecurities everyone has deep inside -- and how to be happy anyway.
Is it any good?
Readers shouldn't expect to really be challenged here, but as far as fun, fluffy, prep school books are concerned, this one is pretty well done. The cast of characters may be somewhat predictable -- Molly is smart but insecure, Gideon is sweet and clueless, while pretty Pilar's perfection comes at a price -- but the ESP angle is a fun device and leads to some hilarious moments (such as when Molly calls the Fred Segal store to warn them that Pilar has been trying on bathing suits without her underwear). The sweet underlying message about being true to yourself (instead of trying to be exactly what your boyfriend wants) will even leave readers feeling good about devouring this literary junk food.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the appeal of media about rich people. What other TV shows, books, and movies can you think of? How are we supposed to feel about the characters? Like them, hate them, envy them, judge them? What does this display of wealth do to our expectations of or (our contentment with) our own lives?
This book is number two in the series. Have you read other series? Why do you like them? What are other books you'd like to see sequels to? Are book sequels ever as good as the first book in the series? Why do you think publishers ask authors to write them? Do you think it has more to do with book sales -- or the creation of a really good character who has more to say?

Reid keeps calm despite impressive start
Andy Reid is refusing to set any targets despite Sunderland's encouraging start under new boss Steve Bruce.
The Black Cats midfielder played a key role in the 4-1 home victory over Hull which lifted the club into sixth place in the Barclays Premier League table on Saturday evening.
With striker Darren Bent having taken his tally to four goals in five games and former Tigers defender Michael Turner having enjoyed a near-faultless debut against his old club, expectation has risen significantly on Wearside.
But amid all the talk of a comfortable top 10 finish and even a challenge for European qualification, Reid is keeping his feet firmly on the ground.
Asked about the club's ambitions for the campaign, the 27-year-old Irishman said: "There is no point saying we are going to finish here, we are going to finish there because you just put yourself there to be shot at.
"We will go about it as best we can, we will give everything we can in every game. One thing the fans did see out there aside from quality, they saw loads of tackles and commitment. That's what they demand and that's what we will give them."

Having had two evening visits to our nice, up-to-date hospital emergency room, the first time I went there was no one to be seen, so I pulled the door open.
Now when the front door is locked for the night, there is a sign saying, please KNOCK, do not pull door open.
REALLY? Wouldn't you think that they could at least have a buzzer, like the old hospital?

I think there may be a large change in the meta, since Riot has said they they want to fix the "3.5 lanes of gold income" where supports and junglers are forced into much more utility. They said that last season too. The meta hasn't changed as much as people like to think. Worlds last year were dominated by AP Assassin mids (Diana and Evelynn last year), and junglers bought HoG every game before picking up an Aegis of Legion and Randuins. Instead of SV you had FoN, but tanky junglers were the way to go (see lilballz tanking all day with Dr Mundo) Supports still never bought anything but wards, philo and boots. They got HoG instead of SightStone, but it amounted to basically the same thing. And since Shurelya's was actually good back then and HoG built into Randuins, a fed support could actually expect to have some decent items by end-game. --- Signatures that consist of quotes are bizarre- you could falsify a quote and no one would know.-Jesus | |
They said they'd do a massive overall to junglers and support, so I expect more than what happened in S3. I'm excited to see the changes. --- Add me on Skype! tiamats4esgares --- League of Legends IGN (NA): MeltedWater | |

What we got last season was laziness. Rather than fixing the problems of S2, they decide **** it lets just throw it all out the window WITHOUT balancing champions in conjunction with the massive items rework (this is pure laziness while trying reinvigorate the game the lazy way). We also got a new ranked system that's worst than the old one with Lyte tampering with matchmaking to make it even more flawed. We also got a semi new jungle, that exacerbates the problems of the old S2 jungle as Riot tried to do the opposite, and you know how Riot responds? **** it, next season *insert the dumbest face you can imagine with the riot logo tattoed on his face*. This season has been hilarious. --- I like Gouken, Chogath, Renekton, Teemo, Top Ram, Morde 2014: DS II, The Evil Within, Ultra SSF4, Mighty No. 9 |

Wilt Chaimberlain 3 pointers
Posted on: Wed, 11/21/2012 at 4:02pm
Wilt Chaimberlain 3 pointers
Wilt swishes four 3 pointers in a row with hook shots. It looks fake, especially considering how he only hit like 50% of his free throws and rarely shot outside the paint. But I find it hard to believe he staged this so 40 years down the road we could edit it into a fake. Pretty unreal if it is real...

Hey kids. Remember rock'n'roll? You know, all types of it. The simplicity of the Rolling Stones; the thunder of Led Zeppelin; the droning rebellion of the Velvet Underground; the dirty, raw power of the Stooges; the heavy riffs of Black Sabbath; the stoned out of your mind freak of Pink Floyd; the chanting group vocals with males and females. Wait. I don't remember those. But I guess Black Mountain does. Regardless, Black Mountain is the epitome of all forms of rock and roll (this, of course, ruling out the original fathers of the genre a.k.a. Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, etc.). On their self-titled 2005 release, Black Mountain is able to conjure up every derivative of the genre I can imagine.

Damn good album. Really digging Druganaut. This score is for Wolf Parde and Pitchforkmedia. you should do drugs. the riff on don't run our hearts around demands to be mouthed out loud. you know, dun dun, duh dun dun, duh dun dun, duh dun dun DA DUN DUN DA DA DUN! whatever happened to GWAR, they used to rock!! GWAR needs to be redone. could we get some more bands to dress up like monsters and destroy shit while singing about maggots?? SADDAM A GO GO!! awesome review. It's pretty odd it was this review's turn to be posted, as I missed the original airing of Will Ferrel hosting SNL, and it was repeated this past Saturday. And now I can't stop saying "Jag-u-wah."* I think someone should to the stoned review #2 so Jesse can get the full spectrum he wants. I nominate myself! Love this record. Just awesome. Jagjaguwar is a great label, but this is just an average record. jones, i like a lot of shit on Adult Swim myself. some of the 'serious' anime stuff annoys me. but i love all the original shows, ATHF especially, and the new one Stroker and Hoop has it's moments. not to mention Fooly Cooly is my shit, even though they don't play it much anymore. Black Mountain is very good. They get a little too Pink Floyd here and there for my tastes, but over all the do a good job of flirting with all things rock n' roll. They have a soaring live show aswell. If you've never heard of Black Mountain before you should check them out whether it seems like your bag or not, it's worth spending the time. Danger Doom is every white boy's new best friend. It leaked in July. I dont need a crystal ball for this one. Its classic. Until Danger Mouse's next venture of course. dangerdoom? This is Great. Dont Understand why they would tour with fuckin' Gay Coldplay. Are we allowed to start talking about this years top ten releases? Definitely up there with The Hold Steady, The New Lows and of course Danger Doom. I trust Buddyhead, but I don't know about this. I will give it a listen. |

16.01.05 - By Jim Amato: I've always been at a loss on where to rank Bernard Hopkins among the past middleweight greats. Although no fault of his own, he was not challenged by the most talented lot of boxers in his era. With Bernard's dominant KO win over Felix Trinidad and then later his stoppage of Oscar DeLaHoya...Well it's hard to argue that Bernard deserves consideration to be ranked among the top middleweights of all time. I feel blessed that in MY time, that would be from 1965 to present. I have lived in the era of some great middleweights. Giardello, Tiger, Emile Griffith and "King" Carlos Monzon were truly magnificent fighters. Later there was the "Marvelous One", Marvin Hagler. How would Bernard fared against Hagler ? First let me say that Bernard should be and I have no doubt will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame after he retires. Deservedly so. He WAS the MAN at 160lbs. during his era. Regardless of the competition. As I said earlier this was Bernard's fault. Still to me when measuring one boxer against other all time greats to determine their place in the all time rankings, the quality of competion becomes quite important. In fact it becomes the most qualifying measuring stick we have. Based on this assumption it is very, very hard for me to rank Bernard above Marvin Hagler. We all know that Bernard has the record for successful defenses. Outside of Trinidad and DeLaHoya who would qualify as a top flight challenger ? You could make a case for William Joppy and Keith Holmes but that is really about it. Even on his way up Bernard did not have any earthshaking victories. He was a steady winner who worked his way up the ratings.Then there was the loss to Roy Jones Jr. in his first title attempt. Well no shame losing to Jones at that stage of his Roy's career. Now let's look at Hagler. To view his record on the way to a title fight is like reading a Who's Who of the middleweight elite of that era. Marvin went into Philly and scrapped with some of the meanest, toughest middleweights around. When the smoke cleared, he came out on top. He lost to the classy Willie "The Worm" Monroe but came back to knock him out twice. He lost a questionable verdict to Bobby "Boogoloo" Watts but kayoed him in a return. He stopped the feared Eugene "Cyclone" Hart and outpointed the even more feared "Bad" Bennie Briscoe. Outside of Philly, throw in some battles with the very talented Olympian Sugar Ray Seales and you've got quite a dance card to qualifying for a title shot. We all know that Marvin drew with the rugged Vito Antuofermo in his first crack at the middleweight crown. In his second title shot he made sure that the judges were non factors as he ripped the crown off of Alan Minter's head. What followed was a dominating reign that lasted seven years. Along the way he turned back Mustapha Hamsho twice. Hamsho was no bum. He beat Minter and Wilfred Benitez among others to earn his shot. He destoyed Wilfred Scypion and Tony Sibson. He outscored the great Roberto Duran and then came his career defining crushing KO of Thomas Hearns. Marvin followed that with a thrilling KO win over the dangerous John "The Beast" Mugabi. I've watched Hagler-Leonard over a dozen times. To me there was no way Ray deserved that verdict. That bogus decision should not take away from Marvin's greatness.

Illegal Drugs Come Disguised as Bath Salts
Filed under: In The News
"You think, 'Oh that's nothing, they're going to use it in their bath.' That isn't true. They're hiding it from you. They're hiding it from their parents," Oswego County Sheriff Reuel Todd tells WSYR, the local ABC affiliate.
The station reports workers at the region's poison control center had 10 calls for problems with "bath salts" last year. So far this year, according to WSYR, that number has quadrupled. Across the nation, there is reportedly a 700 percent increase in bath salt incidents over last year.
James Burns, the assistant special agent in charge of the DEA's Upstate offices, tells WSYR tracking down the dealers is tough.
"This stuff is coming from overseas," he says. "It's coming from the Far East. It's coming from Europe, and it's being distributed via people putting in orders using the Internet."
The ersatz bath salts are banned in New York, but WSYR reports federal enforcement has been more difficult. Each chemical used to make the salts must go through the long process of being declared illegal. Manufacturers regularly create new chemical combinations to stay ahead of drug enforcers.
Oswego County Public Health Educator Angela Cimilluca tells the station parents can look for tell-tale clues in the packaging.
"Where we might think of bath salts as being in a little plastic container that we unscrew, these bath salts seem to be coming in little foil packages with a rip top," she says.
The drugs are also sold as crystals, powders and liquids with a variety of names -- including Purple Wave, White Dove and Blue Magic.

Helios transforms your iPhone into a telepresence robot
Telepresence robots are beginning to connect people in new ways in businesses, hospitals, and even classrooms. They're essentially webcams on wheels, serving as simple avatars that allow you to chat and explore another place. Now inexpensive versions that connect with your smartphone are beginning to appear for use at home. The latest of these comes is Helios from Hello Labs. Read More
Suitable Technologies has revealed the Beam remote presence system, which boasts a 17-inch LCD display and reliable wireless connection thanks to four Wi-Fi radios.

Suitable Technologies was created specifically to refine the Texai and market it – the result was the Beam. Read More
In a medical emergency, seconds count. But if the doctor needed is in another part of the hospital or even another part of town, then those seconds can stretch dangerously. If only the doctor could be in two places at once, then countless lives could be saved. This is one of the most promising applications in the emerging field of telepresence robotics and RP-VITA (Remote Presence Virtual + Independent Telemedicine Assistant) - a joint development by the robotics firm iRobot and telemedicine company InTouch Health - is aiming to bring this closer to reality.

Telepresence robots are definitely a neat idea – they allow users not only to interact with people in remote locations, but they also (in some cases) let those users wander around those locations from "within" the robot, its camera and microphone acting as their eyes and ears. While such robots have so far been relatively expensive, California-based inventor Claire Delaunay wants to change that. She hopes to sell her tiny Botiful telepresence robot for just US$299.

Oculus telepresence robot incorporates user's existing netbook
When you think about it, telepresence robots are quite a neat idea. Not only do they allow you to see and converse with people in another location through video conferencing, but you can also move them about within that location – almost as if you were there in person, walking down the halls. Such devices typically don't come cheap, however. As with other robots, part of what you're paying for are their computerized "brains," along with all of their input/output peripherals. The Oculus Telepresence Robot, however, takes a different approach. It utilizes a user-supplied netbook to serve as its brains, eyes, ears and vocal cords. This results in a lower price, potentially opening up telepresence technology to people who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it. Read More
Engineered Arts Ltd.'s Robothespian is probably one of the first professional robotic actors who made it into the real world (sorry, T-1000). Its elegant movements, extraordinary body language and emotion-conveying skills make it a great communicator. It may not be capable of helping the elderly, it's not nearly as agile and athletic as Boston Dynamics' PETMAN, and it's unlikely to be of any use during eye surgery. But that's OK. Robothespian is an artist. A robot burdened with the task of exploring the ephemeral territory of the arts and claiming it for his robotic brethren. And it seems it is extremely well equipped to get the job done. Read More
Developing true robot surrogates that allow you to be in two places at once means duplicating all of our movements and senses in machine form. Given you can now make a video call on your phone, it's fair to say we have the sight and sound aspects pretty well covered, but the challenge of adding touch to the equation is formidable. The TELESAR V Robot Avatar shows just how far we've come in turning into telepresence into telexistence - it's a humanoid remotely controlled robot that boasts a wide range of movement along with the ability to transmit sight, hearing and touch sensations to its operator via a set of sensors and 3D head mounted display.

Business intelligence and service-oriented architecture: a Delphi study
Müller, Roland M. and Linders, Stefan and Ferreira Pires, Luis (2010) Business intelligence and service-oriented architecture: a Delphi study. Information Systems Management, 27 (2). pp. 168-187. ISSN 1058-0530

Abstract: | Although service-oriented architecture (SOA) is becoming increasingly popular in enterprise application rchitectures, little is known about how SOA could support and influence the use and implementation of business intelligence (BI). We applied the Delphi method in order to identify opportunities and limitations of SOA concepts and technologies when applied to BI applications. This paper draws recommendations for BI vendors and for organizations that use or intend to use SOA to support BI. |

- How to Read a Study Record
This study is a single-armed, open-label, single-center phase II trial of signal transduction inhibitor number 571 (STI-571) systemic therapy in selective patients with metastatic melanoma, and aims to study the efficacy and safety. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) and the second endpoints are overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), 1-year OS and safety.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Metastatic Melanoma |
Drug: Imatinib (Gleevec) |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Phase II Trial of Imatinib(Gleevec®) in Selected Patients With Metastatic Melanoma |
Estimated Enrollment: | 1 |
Study Start Date: | December 2008 |
Study Completion Date: | January 2011 |
Primary Completion Date: | January 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Drug: Imatinib (Gleevec)
Only patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled. The estimated recruitment duration is 1 year. Imatinib will be given in the dose of 400 mg orally each day unless disease progression or intolerance. The follow-up is 12 months.
Forty-eight subjects will be recruited for this study. This sample size is justified by the number of patients required to establish an improvement in PFS with statistical significance compared to historical control.
The standardized RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) method of unidimensional tumor assessment will be employed to evaluate tumor lesion size per 2 months in the determination of response rate and progression free survival. Repeated radiographic assessment at 4 week intervals is consistent with general oncological practice associated with computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan testing. All efficacy endpoints will be evaluated by the investigator.
Safety will be characterized in terms of the incidence, timing, severity, and relatedness of adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. Severity will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE Version 3.0.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 85 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed melanoma with metastases and has no received any systemic treatment within 1 month
- Evidence of mutations and/or copy number increases of KIT with laboratory examination documented from either primary or metastatic tumor site
- ECOG performance status 0, 1, or 2
- Estimated life expectancy of 6 months or greater
- Age 18 years or older, male of female
- At least one measurable site of disease
- Adequate organ function
- Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Melanoma from primary sites other than acral or mucosal melanoma
- Received systemic anti-cancer therapy within 1 month before enrollment for metastatic disease
- Diagnosis of any second malignancy within the last 5 years, except for adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell skin cancer, or in situ cervical cancer
- Severe and/or uncontrolled concomitant medical diseases

Haha I see them now! Wow, embarrassing. Anyways I was going to say this awhile ago, but I forgot. I would like to thank all the people that came in here hoping Tessa was ok, even though they said they're really fans of D/W. I thought that was nice. I hope they're both ok, but particularly Tessa, I keep thinking of them.
Thank you all for pics vids etc. Sarahrainfall loved especially the fanart. While I love the black and white, I thought the SD one would make a very impressive banner. You'd be able to see it from one side of rink to the other. They are such beautiful people. I love their elegant lines and matchless chemistry
Whose suit is Scott drowning in? He should get suits tailored by the same person who makes his skating costumes (except find someone who can sew buttons on better ). That's a great idea!
This is the same costume from Nice. It looked better with Tessa dress there. Did he was without button on exibition costume again? He need to find girlfriend
lol, I had the same problem. It took me the longest time to see the dolphins! also, nice post re: the marks martyross, I agree that different panels are going to see things differently, so it is difficult to make predictions about how worlds will be judges. What troubles me, though, is that I do not feel that some teams are getting credit for the difficulty of their choreography, amongst other things. I am going to pick up on something Cherub721, aka_gerbil, and bcmg hit on in the previous thread, because that pretty much sums up how I feel about a lot of the judging this season and its potential effects on future programs. I have felt for a while that P&B do not receive credit for the difficulty of their transitions and for their spatial management. Look at the changes of direction and changes of hold, and the ways in which they use the space between each other and around them. very, very difficult. And they skate nice and close together. I know they had hoped to challenge the top two teams this season, and I wonder how they must be feeling. And I am an I/K uber and think they are immensely talented, but I was really disappointed to see them receive the kinds of marks they did at Euros for a program that is really lacking in terms of transitions. I think the judges were generous with them, to say the least. I hope they will push themselves to explore more difficult choreography in spite of this, because I think they can be amazing. And I was honestly perplexed at the scoring of the SD at 4CC in terms of PCS. Tessa and Scott have a variety of transitions (three turns, twizzles, held edges, mostly one-foot skating, all with varied body positions--just look at when Tessa leans back and holds her edge)...extremely difficult work, and the elements are just woven into the program. Also, in P/E I wonder how much line and carriage is taken into account (clarity, the "refined lines of the body and limbs"). I also think that extended arms and free legs can slow a skater down as they are expanding the surface area of their bodies and will thus meet more air resistance/drag force, which will decrease their velocity. something to think about when considering speed with respect to the other aspects of PCS. So, like others, I feel like this will encourage teams to play it safe in terms of choreography. If difficult transitions will not give you an edge, you are better off, in terms of marks, going for less complicated choreography that will maximize your chances of achieving your levels. sorry for rambling.
The dolphins took their time making their presence known to me.........It's so nice to be warped at my age, and I hope it never changes
Clarie.. Likewise ! Never mind second glance, try 3, 4, 5..I really had to struggle to start seeing dolphins , and then it took a while to get up to 9 . I just hope this doesn't mean I'm obsessed.
BourneKraatzfan, excellent post and I'm really glad you mentioned P&B. I'm always shocked (though I shouldn't be at this point) when people comment on how they only won their bronze last year due to politics and/or they aren't that good and are about to be passed by other more worthy teams. I've always felt that P&B should be much closer to the top two than the judges have been indicating with their marks. Granted when Tessa and Scott are skating up to their potential (which I realize they have had their issues this year) I would have P&B behind them but P&B are still being slotted into 3rd place no matter what. I really did feel that this season would be different. Some of us expressed worry over whether the mishap (understatement) in the FD would cost V&M a shot at the gold on home turf. However, I'm wondering/hoping that Fabian's injury and P&B's subsequent withdrawal from Europeans won't cost them as well. Thanks to everyone who is providing links to gifs, pictures, articels and their own event reviews. Much appreciated. ETA: I guess I should be ashamed to mention that even though I think the sexed up Carmen talk is overblown, I didn't see any dolphins until someone suggested paying attention to the negative space. Ahem.....
It's really disappointing to see that this is not being given credit by the judges in the ice dance competition. These ARE the elements that make ice dancing what it is. Skaters like Kostner and Chan can get great marks when they pop/fall on jumps because of these factors... why do they count more in singles than dance? It's baffling to me. And V&M put it together with cleanly executed, mostly level 4 elements, so it's not like they slack on the technical side at all. I too thought I&K were generously marked at Euros, and I love them also, but I think that was a product of the lack of depth there and the fact that B&S and C&L also have some big deficiencies in their skating. I still believe P&B will eat all the other European couples for breakfast. But hey if this is what is rewarded then maybe V&M should go to Morozov next season and they can skate to Carrie: The Musical.
As a 17 year old who went through the shift not so long ago, I can say that I don't remember much of an in-between. I either got the sexual references, or I didn't. Programs like Carmen shouldn't have much of an effect on kids, because if they are that young, they would not see anything out of the ordinary. If they know enough to realize what it implies, then they clearly already know what's going on. I would actually love to go back and be able to see the programs in the perspective of a child. I think it'd reveal things that we don't even notice.
Re: the marks especially the PCS. I think V/M got dinged a bit because of the stop. Now I realize that there are some who would argue that there wasn't any hit at all, but I would beg to differ. I remember reading somewhere on this board how V/M were getting better marks before their stop. Afterwards, there was a drop. Also, someone posted about stoppages and how there wouldn't be a deduction but that judges could lower the PCS. Drats if I can recall it correctly so am going to either 1) find that post or 2) find it in the rules. OK, found the post by sedge in the comp topic about dance and here's what caught my attention I bolded the part that I found interesting. Here is it, an "opportunity" to reduce the score in components should a judge feel the need because a fresh start is given. I would suggest that at least *some* of the judges may have lowered their PCS marks for V/M in the FD, even if subconsciously, because of the stoppage.
In case anyone is interested (won't post the link I was sent), the icenetwork forum has a thread where someone posted that perhaps Tessa had to go along continuing to compete despite her pain because it was Scott wanted. Does he seem to be a bit overcontrolling of her at this point? Years back I wonder if he sort of insinuated that he'd maybe do some shows together if he could, but, if needed, would consider seeking another partner to continue on to Sochi. I am not hating, just want her to be happy and that includes physically as she ages.
I would seriously find this NOT in character for Scott, not with everything I have seen and read about how much he cares for her -- in the best of friends vein. Did these people not see the tender way he was with her in the KnC, how protective he was on the podium? This is a young man who practiced with a sack of flour while Tessa recovered from surgery, FGS. Yeah, they had some rough times but what couple doesn't? Who are these nut cases?
The only thing I've ever heard is the two state the other is the only other partner for them. I remember other people speculating that Scott could skate with someone else but not him.
I think, when they got back, he asked her if she was okay. Furthermore, I do not recall Scott ever stating that he'd try to find another partner, even if it was what many people here and elsewhere asked of him.
If he did say that, honestly, that would be his right. They are an athletic team; if he said to her he'd like to continue skating in Olympic-style competition and that he would understand if she couldn't and if so he would find another partner, then there's nothing wrong with that. (Not saying this happened, just that I would hold nothing against him if it did, and I don't think it's a sign of him having an ego). And it would be her right to continue or refuse. Frankly I'm just so sick of all of the insinuations that Tessa is this frail, feeble little girl who's not only physically injured but also can't think for herself (I'm not talking about your post). I googled the icenetwork thing and I see a lot of it there and on other sites as well (GS). This is an adult woman who has agency over her life and is perfectly capable of owning her choices. I absolutely love that Scott is protective of her, but I don't want people to mistake that for weakness on her part. I think it's hot that Scott can be brusque with the cameraman but totally tender to Tessa at the same time. I love that. But just because he chooses to play that role in public doesn't mean he controls everything the team does. I mean who wanted Funny Face, who suggested working with a modern dance choreographer.... it wasn't Scott.
I'd rep you if I could. You're absolutely right -- Tessa steers her own path and it's why she's such a great Carmen.
I think Tessa is more of a leader than most people make her look so. You can see that a lot more during practice.
Last season I learned from some FSusers that Tessa was the dominant figure in the V/M partnership and that she was controlling Scott. Now I hear that Scott is controlling Tessa. Who is actually controlling whom in the V/M team? Enquiring minds want to know.
Hey, that's true! Last year people were saying that Scott got stuck with Funny Face because it was what Tessa wanted
Thank you for this post. I didn't even know icenetwork had a forum; they actually have two threads devoted to what happened at 4CC. I already saw some of the comments attached to the article though. And I made a pretty big mistake going to GS because apparently Scott was the injured one and he's just putting the blame on Tessa. I know we're supposed to ignore all of this, but still. Honestly I'm just very amused by all of this at this point.
Eh, it's better than a D/W uber comparing Tessa to a freak show slave (no, I'm not exaggerating). I can't say I'm amused by it, though.
Wait…what? Somebody compared Tessa to a freak show slave (I Have no idea what that means BTW)? I'm not amused as in I think it's funny, but as in the ridiculousness of it all.
people on icenetwork are so ridiculous ugh they are just jealous that their favs dont have the same amount of chemistry that tessa and scott have although it did look like he was encouraging her to continue idek what happened does anyone know what he mouthed to her? omg what is wrong with these stans that doesnt even make sense and people think voir stans are worser than merylie stans yeah right btw proustable do you have a link to that?
wow that is sexist/misogynist as hell and perhaps racist (not towards tessa obviously) but towards other POC given the historical connotations
Totally! It's so classy and it really made a difference that you guys n' gals came in here with kind words. I LOVE HJay's story about her daughter's experience. It was such an evocative retelling of that magical moment - when you encounter an artwork for the first time with little bias or preconceptions, and experience a powerful response. Welcome to the thread.
