Lily Allen - Hard out Here
Artist: Lily Allen
Producer: Greg Kurstin
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 5 votes )
It ain't easy being female in the music game. In addition to the usual label politics, cutthroat competition and media hassles, you have to contend with the public's unremitting scrutiny of your sex life and physical attributes. Lily Allen, for one, has had enough. On her latest single, the UK pop starlet mounts a frontal attack against the double-standards that hold women back in her business—and pretty much everywhere else. Serious as she clearly is about the premise, she manages to execute it with all the wry humor her fans have come to expect, and Greg Kurstin's upbeat synth production renders the record all the more addictive. Christopher Sweeney directs the cinematic accompaniment, which (somewhat counterintuitively) features more rippling female posteriors than any other video I've viewed in a hot minute. Allen's third full-length has yet to receive either a title or a drop date, but we'll keep you posted on the project as further details emerge.

Cryosurgical ablation, also known as cryotherapy or cryosurgery, of prostate cancer is a technique in which cryoprobes are inserted percutaneously into the prostate gland to rapidly freeze and thaw tissue causing necrosis. While most studies use total cryoablation, subtotal cryoablation is an emerging technique.
Cryosurgical ablation is one of several methods available to treat clinically localized prostate cancer, and may be considered an alternative to radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy. It also may be used for salvage of non-metastatic relapse following initial therapy for clinically localized disease. Cryosurgical ablation is less invasive than surgery and recovery time may be shorter. While external-beam radiation therapy requires multiple treatments, typically only one treatment is required for cryoablation.
Subtotal prostate cryosurgical ablation is also being evaluated as a form of more localized therapy (referred to by some as "male lumpectomy") for small localized prostate cancers.

Medically Necessary
BCBSMT may consider cryosurgical ablation of the prostate medically necessary as treatment of clinically localized (organ-confined) prostate cancer when performed as:
BCBSMT considers subtotal cryoablation of the prostate experimental, investigational and unproven in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Cryosurgical ablation for treatment of prostate cancer has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective treatment modality for clinically localized prostate cancer. Data from many small non-randomized uncontrolled trials have established that cryosurgical ablation of prostate tumors demonstrates similar complication rates in terms of erectile dysfunction, obstruction, incontinence, and urethral stricture as does EBRT. The efficacy of cryoablation, as noted by post-operative biopsy results and recurrence rates, is similar to external beam radiation when treating prostate cancer. While the data supporting this procedure for use as a salvage technique is not extensive, there is data to demonstrate that this is a useful and safe therapeutic modality for patients who have previously failed radiation therapy. The level of evidence supporting this conclusion includes multiple case series studies.
Published studies have demonstrated that patients with low volume, localized, primary prostate cancer undergoing cryosurgery remain biochemically disease-free up to three years. Surgically related morbidities of cryosurgery of the prostate have compared favorably to those reported for radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy. The available data suggests that select patients with radio resistant cancer have benefited from the use of cryosurgery as a salvage therapy. To date, case studies indicate that at least, in the short-term, cryosurgery is better tolerated than open salvage surgery and can be considered a treatment option for men who would not be candidates for open surgery. Complication rates can be minimized through improvements in technique, instrumentation and utilization of experienced cryosurgeons.
Long et al. reported on the experience of five institutions with the use of cryoablation. The results were compared to those of conformal radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Patients with a previous history of failed radiotherapy were excluded and androgen deprivation was determined and categorized separately. Patients were classified as low risk, moderate risk or high risk according to the cancer characteristics (stage of the disease, Gleason grade and prostate-specific antigen [PSA] level). The procedure was not consistent at all institutions. Differences included the number of probes used, number of freeze cycles per patient, length of apical pullback maneuver, real-time monitoring during freezing and the system used for freezing. A total of 975 patients were studied, of whom 238 were low risk, 321 were moderate risk and 385 were high risk; risk was not determined in 38 patients. The five-year rate for non-rising postoperative PSA levels for low and medium risk patients ranged between 60 and 76 percent and for high-risk patients it was 41 percent. Only about 18 percent of the patients were found to have a positive biopsy following the procedure.
Another study by Long et al. presented a retrospective comparison of data from the cancer of the prostate strategic urologic research endeavor (CaPSURE™) database, a longitudinal observational database of patients with prostate cancer. Adjusted overall rates of second treatment indicate that patients receiving cryoablation are 1.9 times more likely to have a second treatment than those patients who received radical prostatectomy, and 1.4 times more likely than those patients who received EBRT. When rates of second treatment were stratified by various parameters of disease severity, the rates for cryoablation compared to radical prostatectomy tend to be significantly increased for low-risk disease but not for high-risk disease. The same is true for EBRT compared to radical prostatectomy, but to a lesser extent. Thus, these results do not suggest an advantage for cryoablation, and may indicate poorer outcomes for low-risk disease.
Perioperative mortality and acute life-threatening consequences of cryoablation appear to be negligible. Patients have the highest likelihood of impotence after cryoablation, compared to radical prostatectomy or three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT). The occurrence of incontinence appears comparable to 3DCRT and potentially less than radical prostatectomy. However, other genitourinary complications are peculiar to cryoablation. The adverse gastrointestinal consequences typical of 3DCRT are not noted after cryoablation.
Bahn et al. reported on a large single institution retrospective long-term experience with targeted cryoablation of the prostate (TCAP). A series of 590 consecutive patients underwent TCAP as primary therapy with curative intent for localized or locally advanced prostate cancer from March 1993 to September 2001. After a mean follow-up time of 5.43 years the rates of morbidity were modest, and no serious complications were observed. TCAP was shown to equal or surpass the outcome data of EBRT, three-dimensional conformal radiation, and brachytherapy. These seven-year outcome data provide compelling validation of TCAP as an efficacious treatment modality for locally confined and locally advanced prostatic carcinoma.
2009 Update
Chin and colleagues recently reported on a randomized trial of cryoablation (CRYO) compared to EBRT in patients with clinical stage T2C-T3B prostate cancer. These patients had node-negative disease and also received six months of hormonal therapy, starting three months before treatment. Only 64 of the planned 150 patients were accrued, entry was limited due to changes in practice and difficulty beginning cryosurgery at one of the sites. Twenty-one of 33 (64%) in the CRYO group and 14 of 31 (45%) in the EBRT-treated group were classified as treatment failure. The mean biochemical disease-free survival (bDFS) was 41 months for the EBRT group compared to 28 months for the CRYO group. The four-year bDFS for EBRT and CRYO groups were 47 and 13%, respectively. Disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) for both groups were very similar. Serious complications were uncommon in either group. EBRT patients exhibited adverse gastrointestinal (GI) effects more frequently. The authors concluded that taking into account the relative deficiency in numbers and the original trial design, this prospective randomized trial indicated that the results of CRYO were less favorable compared to those of EBRT and that CRYO was suboptimal primary therapy in locally advanced prostate cancer.
Aus recently commented that cryosurgical ablation is now using third-generation equipment and that long-term follow-up from these devices, which emerged around 2000, will be needed. These newer devices use more probes and argon gas (as opposed to liquid nitrogen) and create smaller ice balls. Finally, there is minimal evidence for use of a newer technique of subtotal prostate cryosurgery for treatment of localized disease.
Recent studies have described results from using cryosurgery for patients with recurrent, localized prostate cancer following a course of radiation therapy. Ng and colleagues reported on a series of 187 patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy that underwent salvage cryoablation of the prostate, and were studied after a mean follow-up of 39 months. Serum PSA at cryoablation was a predictive factor for biochemical recurrence on univariate and multivariate analysis (p <0.001). Patients with a pre-cryoablation PSA value less than 4 ng/ml had a 5- and 8-year biochemical recurrence-free survival of 56% and 37%, respectively. In contrast, patients with a pre-cryoablation PSA of 10 ng/ml or greater had a 5- and 8-year biochemical recurrence-free survival of only 1% and 7%, respectively. Patients with a pre-cryoablation PSA in the range of four to 9.99 ng/ml had intermediate survival outcomes. Overall 5- and 8-year survival was 97% and 92%, respectively. The authors concluded that salvage cryoablation is a viable treatment option for patients with prostate cancer in whom radiation therapy has failed and that salvage cryoablation should be performed when the serum PSA level is still relatively low, because in these patients the procedure may potentially be curative. Similarly, Ismail and colleagues reported on 100 patients treated between May 2000 and November 2005 with CRYO for recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy; mean follow-up was 33.5 months. All patients had biopsy-confirmed recurrent prostate cancer. Biochemical recurrence-free survival (BRFS) was defined using a PSA level of <0.5 ng/mL and by applying the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) definition for biochemical failure. Patients were stratified into three risk groups, i.e., high-risk (68 men), intermediate-risk (20 men) and low-risk (12 men). There were no operative or cancer-related deaths; the five-year actuarial BRFS was 73%, 45%, and 11% for the low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups, respectively. Complications included incontinence (13%), erectile dysfunction (86%), lower urinary tract symptoms (16%), prolonged perineal pain (4%), urinary retention (2%), and recto-urethral fistula (1%). The authors concluded that salvage cryoablation is a safe and effective treatment for localized prostate cancer recurrence after radiotherapy.
While the data for treatment of recurrence after radiation therapy are also limited, these patients have few options; one option with recurrence is prostatectomy, which can be difficult in tissue that has been irradiated. Like primary prostate cancer, when to proceed with treatment is a complex issue. However, for patients with recurrence after radiation therapy who elect further treatment, based on the limited data available, cryosurgical treatment does appear to produce anti-tumor activity.
2011 Update
A literature search using MEDLINE was conducted through October 2011. One randomized trial on cryotherapy for prostate cancer was identified. Donnelly and colleagues reported on a randomized trial of 244 patients with newly diagnosed localized prostate cancer, during the period of December 1997 through February 2003, to compare cryoablation to external beam radiotherapy. All patients began neoadjuvant antiandrogen therapy prior to local treatment and continued for a period of three through six months. Median follow-up was 100 months. At 36 months, the biochemical failure rate (PSA nadir + 2ng/mL) was 17.1% in the cryoablation group versus 13.2% in the radiotherapy group. Overall survival at five years was 89.7% in the cryoablation group versus 88.3% in the radiotherapy group and did not differ statistically (p = .78). At 36 months, radiotherapy patients had significantly more positive prostate biopsies than the cryoablation group (22 of 76 vs. 7 of 91 patients respectively [p = <.001]). Observed failure rates at 60 months were equal in both groups but favored cryoablation at 84 months. Twelve cryoablation patients experienced 13 grade 3 adverse events versus 16 grade 3 adverse events in 14 radiotherapy patients using National Cancer Institute of Canada Common Toxicity Criteria. Urinary retention was the most common grade 3 adverse event in both treatment arms. The authors indicated they were unable to establish cryoablation was noninferior to radiotherapy at 36 months due to the wide confidence interval. However, they noted several issues which limit interpretation of the study results including the use of lower radiation dosages (68 Gy, 70 Gy and 73.5 Gy) than are common today and early trial closure due to lack of patient enrollment.
In a second article on the Donnelly study, Robinson et al. reported on quality of life outcomes in the same 244 patients. With only a few exceptions, the authors found study participants reported quality of life at high-levels in both the cryoablation and radiotherapy treatment arms. Acute urinary dysfunction, which eventually resolved, occurred more often with cryoablation as measured using the UCLA Prostate Cancer Index (mean urinary function in cryoablation was 69.4 vs. 90.7 in EBRT; P < .001; higher scores meaning better function and less bother). UCLA Prostate Cancer Index sexual function decreased in both arms at three months. However, reduced sexual function was reported more in the cryoablation arm (mean cryoablation = 7.2 vs. 32.9 in EBRT; P < .001). Decreased sexual function continued at the three-year evaluation with the mean score 15 points lower in the cryoablation group.
In one representative publication on focal therapy, Truesdale and colleagues reported on a retrospective chart review of 77 patients with unilateral prostate cancer treated with primary focal cryosurgery between 2002 and 2009. Using D'Amico risk classifications, 44 patients were considered low-risk, 31 were intermediate-risk, and two were high-risk disease. Patients were followed for a median time of 24 months and the biochemical (PSA) progression-free survival rate was 72.7% overall. Prostate cancer was confirmed by biopsy in 10 of 22 patients suspected of having recurrent disease (two ipsilateral, seven contralateral, and one bilateral disease). The overall pathological progression-free survival rate was 87%. Disease progression was correlated with pretreatment PSA levels, pretreatment Gleason scores, number of positive cores, and total tumor lengths. Comparative data from studies with longer follow-up are needed are needed to evaluate this technology. In another representative publication identified in the literature search, Williams and colleagues reported on a retrospective review of 176 patients receiving salvage cryotherapy for locally recurrent prostate cancer during the period of 1995 to 2004. Patients were followed a mean of 7.46 years with 52 patients having been followed for more than ten years. The ten-year, disease-free survival rate was 39%. The authors found risk factors for prostate cancer recurrence following salvage cryotherapy were presalvage PSA levels, preradiation, and presalvage Gleason scores. Early recurrence was highly predicted by PSA nadir >1.0 ng/dl after salvage cryotherapy.
www.ClinicalTrials.gov identified four studies on cryotherapy for prostate cancer. Biochemical failure and quality of life (QOL) outcomes will be evaluated in an estimated 800 patients in the prospective, multicenter registry of salvage cryotherapy in recurrent prostate cancer (SCORE) trial (NCT00824928A). This study began in January 2007 and is currently recruiting patients. Two single-institution studies (NCT00774436 and NCT00877682) will evaluate the effectiveness of focal cryotherapy in clinically-localized prostate cancer in 50 and 100 patients. These studies have completion dates of October 2011 and April 2012, respectively. A phase 1 study on the safety of focal cryotherapy in 100 low-risk, localized prostate cancer patients is being conducted in Italy and is enrolling patients by invitation only (NCT00928603).
Technology Assessments, Guidelines and Position Statements
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for prostate cancer (v.1.2011) indicate cryosurgery is appropriate for post-radiation recurrence in patients that have a positive prostate biopsy and negative studies for metastasis. However, the NCCN guidelines indicate cryotherapy as primary therapy is not recommended. The discussion notes that there is insufficient data available from long-term studies comparing cryotherapy with radiation and radical prostatectomy.
The 2008 American Urological Association Best Practice Statement has recognized cryoablation of the prostate as an appropriate treatment option for newly diagnosed or radiorecurrent organ-confined prostate cancer. However, this Best Practice Statement indicates cryoablation in patients with clinical T3 disease is undetermined. In addition, long-term results of subtotal prostate cryoablation are noted as being unavailable.
The available evidence for use of cryotherapy in the treatment of clinically localized (organ-confined) prostate cancer when performed as initial treatment or as salvage treatment of disease that recurs following radiation therapy is sufficient to demonstrate improvement in net health outcome. This conclusion is based on the extensive data from cohort studies and clinical input including an indirect chain of evidence and the recognition that the data for this long-used technique is similar to data for a number of accepted techniques. While the data for treatment of recurrence after radiation therapy are limited, these patients have few options; one option with recurrence is prostatectomy, which can be difficult in tissue that has been irradiated. Like primary prostate cancer, when to proceed with treatment is a complex issue. However, for patients with recurrence after radiation therapy who elect further treatment, based on the limited data available, cryosurgical treatment does appear to produce anti-tumor activity. Given the lack of long-term follow-up data, including a lack of comparative studies, subtotal prostate cryoablation is considered experimental, investigational and unproven.

Guys not texting back!
Okay this get's on my nerves SOOO much. Like do they think it's cool or something to wait forever to text you back? Like is it a game to them to... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
The reason why they're texting you and not talking to you on the phone is because they're BUSY. Making a big deal out of it only makes you seem like a clingy psychopath. This is just something YOU are going to have to deal with if you choose to communicate through text rather than picking up a phone and calling each other like actual human beings do.
Psychopath? Yeah okay...
I'm not saying we don't talk on the phone. But whenever we used to text he would always text back right away. Me and him have been on and off being together and now he always takes forever to text back. I know when he is busy and when he isn't.
- Show Older Hide Older
It's the fact that they say they aren't doing any. But take forever to text you back. It is just frusturating and I want to know if they think it's some kind of game.
It's almost 2010, like 80% of people hold conversations over text messages now. It has nothing to do with the fact of talking on the phone or texting.
I can assure you its no game. Just a simple matter of priorities. Like I said in my comment to blazy's answer I don't even check my texts when I receive them, I usually check it a bit later.
What Guys Said 3
No, it doesn't take much time to text so unless a guy is being a douche then he might in capital letters be busy. Most likely he's trying to play hard to get because some, sorry most guys think girls like a guy they can't have. What the hell ever happened to a girl likes a guy, gives him a couple small hints, the guy talks to the girl gets her number, starts talking and it goes on from there? Society that's why. So I'll have to side with the girls on this one. I text a lot, and I know its easy to send a message and unless a girl is an ego maniac she will not assume you have nothing better to do than text, but I text at the gym, at work, everywhere so I am 99% of the time doing something else as well.
Thank you! Yeah that's what I basically figured. And I agree with you, I love to text also, so even if I'm way busy I'll still answer someone. So when people say they are too busy to text or something it's just suspicious. Unless you're using power tools or a machine gun or something like that (haha) I don't see why it will always take you so much time to respond.
What Girls Said 2
My brother purposely waits at least 10 minutes to respond to text messages so the person doesn't think he's available to talk because he doesn't want them to keep texting him every two seconds.
I don't really consider text messaging to be direct communication--there's a chance that someone is busy, left their phone in another room, etc. and can't get back to you right away, so I don't expect an immediate response. If I really wanted to communicate with someone ASAP, texting wouldn't be the way I did it. So, I don't think anything of it when someone takes more than 10 minutes to reply to me. It's not like I always respond right away either. I wouldn't expect anyone to say, "Hey, I'm busy right now," since the lack of an answer kind of implies it.
This pretty much is it.
No I understand what you mean, it's like the guy does it on purpose to make you wait to make you think he is busy or something. It does seem like a game. You aren't making a big deal out of it, you are just wanting to know why some guys purposely wait forever to text back every time. Like you send "hey" or "hi" and then like five minutes later they'll text you back and then you'll reply and another five minutes later they'll respond. It's like the guy is doing it on purpose. And really if the guy is just busy, then either tell us that or just don't text us back...we'll get the point that you are busy cause the whole waiting a while to text back for every text is just annoying and it makes it seem like you are playing game, doing it on purpose to make us think you are busy for some reason or just to annoy us. I don't know why, but I know what you mean.
Oh my gosh, thank you!! That is exactly what I'm talking about. If they really are busy, why can't they just say so

Alright then, what if this is your girlfriend, you are texting her, she asks you what you're up to, you respond with nothing what about you, and you still take 10 minutes to respond to every text. Is there a reason? Even when you told her you were doing nothing?
Well I wouldn't have texted her to begin with. I would have called her. And if she was the one who texted me I would have responded with a phonecall and not a text, when I was able.

HFMA's Certification Department and Board of Examiners continually monitor the certification program to verify that it is following industry standards. After a recent review, the current maintenance grace period policy is being adjusted from 90 days to 45 days.
This grace period gives certified members 45 days to meet the certification maintenance requirements (the new grace period ends on July 15, 2015-previously September 1). The 45 day grace period may be used to bring continuing education record into compliance with the stated maintenance requirements namely, 60 hours of acceptable continuing education across the 36 month (3 years) maintenance cycle. Failure to bring the continuing education record into compliance by the end of the 45-day grace period will result in the loss of certification designations.
To stay abreast of all the changes occurring in healthcare today, you will need to maintain your CRCR certification every two years. The recertification process is straightforward: to re-certify as a CRCR, you must take an exam. This consists of a 75-question online test. The price for the test is $100. Several reminders will be sent to you leading up to your expiration date.
The recertification materials (study guide and examination) are available for purchase 6 months before your expiration date (the expiration date is always 5/31/XX). If you have any CRCR recertification questions please call the HFMA Career Services Department at (800) 252-4362, and press 311.

Gear Review
Works great!
Works great for the backcountry. Easy to use. Comfortable on the body, hardly notice it. I am an old Pieps user, so the easy directional finder was so easy to practice with and find another beacon quickly. Make sure you practice with it though! VERY IMPORTANT. After you get the hang of it, it is a fine beacon. The only one I think that might be easier to operate is the DTS Tracker. Very happy with this purchase.

Late last month, the official estimate of economic growth for the fourth quarter was revised upward. Does this signal a strong finish for 2012 -- or simply set the economy up for yet another disappointment?
Unfortunately, new figures on retail sales suggest the latter might be the case. If so, it would mark the third time since the Great Recession that the U.S. economy has revved its engines, only to do little more than spin its wheels.
Economic data remains mixed
On December 20, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis announced that real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at a 3.1 percent rate in the third quarter of 2012. This marks a healthy increase over the previous estimate of 2.7 percent growth, and a considerable increase over the initial estimate of 2.0 percent. Since that first estimate was made in late October, this measurement of economic growth has transitioned from mediocre to very promising.
A 3.1 percent growth rate represents a significant improvement over the second quarter's growth rate of 1.3 percent, and would be easily the best quarter for economic growth so far in 2012. However, in recent years the economy has shown flashes of growth before without being able to follow through. The fourth quarters of both 2009 and 2011 had GDP growth rates in excess of 4 percent, only to see the next quarter's growth slow by about half.In order to really put a dent in unemployment, economic growth needs to be sustained over a period of several quarters. Unfortunately, the U.S. economy hasn't been able to string together back-to-back quarters of 3 percent or better growth since 2007. A new snapshot of retail spending suggests that the end of 2012 won't be any different. The MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse estimate of holiday spending found that buying activity over the two months preceding Christmas was up only 0.7 percent over the prior year. This was the slowest growth rate for holiday spending since 2008, and represents a big disappointment against analyst estimates of 3-4 percent for this year.

Introduction [1] The Bible often privileges men as normative for what it means to be human, frequently considers women as inferior to men, and presents God in overwhelmingly male terms. For the contemporary believer who is committed to the full equality of men and women the problem is not simply one of reconciling isolated patriarchal, sexist, or misogynistic biblical passages with an egalitarian or feminist perspective, but the revelatory nature of the biblical text itself. "How can a text th … [Read more...]

Gender, Mormonism, and Transsexuality
The declaration that "gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose" is presumably attempted to rebut the second-wave feminist articulation of the sex/gender dichotomy which sees sex as natural and gender as culturally/socially constructed, and therefore malleable. While it is perhaps unclear that "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" is theoretically sophisticated enough to be aware of the sex/gender distinction that emerged in the … [Read more...]

Dear Protesters, It has been a frustrating week. You're angry, maybe even irate. I understand.

Though Mormons make up a small amount of the total votes in favor of Prop 8, you hold them responsible for much of the fund-raising, canvassing, and phone-banking for the Yes on 8 campaign.

Arians: 'Many problems' in officiating in Philly
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP)
Arizona coach Bruce Arians says there ''were obviously very, very many problems'' with the officiating in the Cardinals' 24-21 loss at Philadelphia.
Of particular concern were three plays near the end of the game.
One was a holding call on safety Tyrann Mathieu that negated Patrick Peterson's interception. Another was a holding call on linebacker Matt Shaughnessy on the Eagles' final possession. A third was a no-call when the Cardinals felt there was pass interference on a fourth-down incompletion to Michael Floyd the last time Arizona had the ball.
Asked if he felt the calls will cost the Cardinals a playoff spot, Arians said, ''It possibly could, but I think a lot of things have to happen here in the last four weeks. I would hope that we give up all that talk this week and just focus on the St. Louis Rams.''
The Cardinals (7-5) are home against the Rams next Sunday.
Arians said he sent ''about 15 plays'' to the NFL for review by Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice president of officiating.
''The proper channels have been followed,'' the Arizona coach said, ''and obviously there were very, very many problems'' with the officiating.
Arians said Blandino ''does a great job. He's very honest with it. I've already gotten most of the answers. I got them before I left the locker room yesterday.''
Arians declined to share what he was told, but asked if he gets any satisfaction from those answers, he said, ''No, I just get madder.''
The Cardinals had rallied from a 24-7 deficit to cut the Philadelphia lead to 24-21 when Peterson intercepted Nick Foles' pass at the Eagles' 43 with four minutes to play. But Mathieu was called for holding on the play. It would have been the first interception Foles has thrown this season.
Arians said ''there's no doubt in my mind'' that the Cardinals would have scored had Peterson's interception stood.
''We (had) just put a good drive together,'' Arians said, ''and only needed 10 yards for a field goal to tie it.''
The Cardinals did get the ball back at their 10-yard line with 2:03 to play. But on third-and-five from the 15, Carson Palmer missed an open Andre Roberts, then on fourth down, Palmer's pass to Floyd was incomplete.
The Eagles took over on downs and, on third-and-four from the 9, Shaughnessy tackled Foles for a loss but was called for holding, giving Philadelphia a first down and the ability to run out the clock.
''He (the Philadelphia player) was blocking Matt on a bootleg play,'' Arians said. ''Matt threw him to the ground and sacked the quarterback. ... It happens every time a guy tries to block you and you sack the quarterback. It was one of those problems (with the officiating).''
That's the way Shaughnessy saw it, too.
''He was blocking down on me, and I was fighting the pressure, pushing him outside and he tried to release,'' Shaughnessy said. ''I threw him down and then I went after the quarterback. I thought it was a sack.''
Linebacker Daryl Washington drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for complaining vehemently about the call.
Mathieu avoided any complaints about the call against him when he spoke to reporters on Monday.
After the game Sunday, the Arizona rookie said he thought ''it was a good play. I was just trying to be a good defensive back and was trying to get a good jam on him.''
Even if mistakes are acknowledged by the crew headed by referee Tony Corrente, nothing can be done about it now.
''As long as everybody owns up to it, you move on,'' Arians said. ''It's part of the game. We're here working our tails off this week. Those guys (the officials) are back at their other jobs.''
Officiating aside, Arians said the Cardinals, who fell a game behind San Francisco for the final NFC wild card spot, made too many mistakes early against the Eagles and regressed after a four-game winning streak.
He said the team can't afford to dwell on what happened in Philadelphia. Going into the game against St. Louis, Arizona has lost eight straight against NFC West foes, including three this year.
''If we're ever going to do anything, we better start winning our division,'' Arians said. ''That's our only focus this week. I don't want to hear about anything else in our locker room except winning a division game.''
Notes: RB Andre Ellington, who missed Sunday's game with a knee injury, won't practice Wednesday, Arians said. ''I'm hoping to have him out there Thursday and Friday, but we're not going to rush him,'' the coach said. ''He's too young and too valuable to cause a long-term problem.''

From Barnes & Noble
That boys are a totally different species of homo sapiens is blatantly untrue, but there is no disputing that not even boys completely understand the unwritten rules of "boy world." In Queen Bees & Wannabes, Rosiland Wiseman helped us navigate the rocky waves of "girl world"; now she's back with the aid that parents, sons, and siblings need to survive the tsunamis of male childhood and adolescence. As in her previous book, Wiseman's advice is focused, memorable, and helpful. (Her comments on social hierarchies, needling, and pressure are especially reassuring.) Masterminds & Wingmen serves as a jaunty guide to a thorny subject. Now in trade paperback and NOOK Book; editor's recommendation.

Not Just For Cats
posted 6 years ago
Our ferret loves these jingle-bell-balls. I like to throw them and she likes to chase them. We just bought a three pack at Walmart for ninety seven cents. I have a dog that could choke on them so they have to be put up after we play.
Pros: we use for a ferret
Cons: don't let a dog get them

Nuclear power accounts for just over twenty percent of America's electrical output
and does not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, nuclear power
does produce a deleterious by-product known as radioactive waste. One of the primary
goals of nuclear power proponents is the development of methods that reduce the
volume of radioactive waste, such as cobalt. Radioactive cobalt is usually accompanied
by non-radioactive iron, making it more difficult to solely extract the harmful
cobalt atoms. The application of molecularly imprinted polymers and chitosans increase
the effectiveness of the removal of radioactive cobalt from cooling medium in order
to reduce the overall volume of nuclear waste by having a high selectivity for the
radioactive cobalt ions even in the presence of similar particles ...

This study aimed to examine the effects of different taping pressures with or without
external force on the maximum dorsal flexion angle (DFA). Twenty-two healthy male
university students with >5 years of athletic experience participated. A qualified
trainer wound a rigid tape thrice around subject's wrist joint. Taping pressure
was measured using the pressure measuring system AMI3037-SB. Independent variables
were five experimental conditions (5 hPa, 30 hPa, 60 hPa, and 90 hPa, and control)
and two measurement conditions for the wrist joint DFA with non-external and external
forces. In the former, the subject flexed the wrist joint himself (active DFA),
while in the latter, a trainer helped in flexion (passive DFA). The dependent variable
was the maximum DFA. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA (taping pressure × different
DFA measurement) and multiple comparison tests showed that passive DFA was significantly
larger than active DFA under all taping pressure conditions ...

Bombardier's new Global twins aim to eclipse Gulfstream's G650 by many important metrics, including price.
The Global 7000 and 8000 started life more than two years ago as a single code-named aircraft, the M170, a 7000nm (13,000km) jet, roughly the same size as today's Global Express XRS.
That first concept later morphed into two aircraft with the help of 150 Bombardier Global customers, which divided themselves into two distinct categories; one group prioritizing range, and the other, cabin space.
"As wealth was spreading across the globe, we saw the need for a longer-range airplane," says Brad Nolan, director of product planning for Bombardier business aircraft. "We also saw customers who were more centrally located on the globe, but a key group of operators was looking for absolutely the largest cabin in business aviation."
Bombardier aims to best the high-speed range of the Gulfstream G650, with long legs of 5,650nm and 5,100nm at Mach .90 for the Global 8000 and 7000, and 7,900nm and 7,300nm at Mach .85, respectively. Gulfstream announced Monday that its G650 has validated its 5,000nm range at a M.90 cruising speed.
The Global 7000 and 8000 will also sport price tags of $65 million in 2010 dollars, compared with around $58.5 million for the Gulfstream G650.
The two new jets will take elements from the existing Global Express XRS and 5000 for the 7000 and 8000. The 7000 and 8000 will be 135in (3.4m) and 27in longer than the Global Express XRS, respectively. Additionally, the horizontal and vertical tail will be mostly common across the Global family.
The all-new wing, one of two sources for the Global 7000 and 8000's long legs, is currently in wind tunnel testing, says Steve Ridolfi, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft.
The other major investment for the new Global 7000 and 8000 will be the General Electric TechX, which Bombardier says will be enable a 14% and 18% improvement in fuel efficiency over other long-range business jets, respectively.
On the flight deck, Ridolfi says the Global Vision flight test program for the Global Express XRS and Global 5000 have served as a technological "building block" for the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics that will be employed on the 7000 and 8000.
The Global 7000 and 800 will enter service in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

TripAdvisor Reviews Sequoia Hotel Yangzhou
Travel Blogs from Yangzhou
... wall .. this was very interesting and only had about 10 people walking on it! Amazing!!!
Next we went back to the hostel to collect out bags then got another train out to Nanjing South Railway Station to catch a G bullet train to Zhenjiang (another town further east along The Yantze River) 21 minutes away. We ended up at the wrong railway station (we need to be at Zhenjiang Station - not Zhenjiang South) so had to catch a ...
Today main schedule is slim Xihu located in the south of yangzhou very beautiful in April these days. The city flower of Yangzhou Qiong glower broom for only ten days in April. We are very lucky to see it because of higher temperature. The restaurant "食为天" is delicious and worth of money average rate for one person CNY 60. Great first day ...
Karst Country
Yesterday, we travelled 80km down the River Li, from Guilin to Yangshuo , a small town which has become a popular tourist attraction over the last few years.
The landscape is very spectacular, with limestone columns and pinnacles towering up from the bamboo covered plains. They are called Karsts, and because of their strange shapes, have been given fanciful names, such as ' Grandad watching an apple', Snail, Goat's ...
Chinese Medicine and the last day in Taizhou
... friend of Wei's reserved a table for us a bar/club, and escorted us there. When we arrived, there was a line of servers lined up to greet us as we entered the bar. We then received the best table, bottle service, and unlimited beer, all for a good price, simply because we were american and people knew we were coming. It was unreal. None of us were expecting this.. we just wanted a fun night out! It turned out to be a really interesting but awesome night though!
Tai chi with some steak and potatoes
... were all in their 70's or older, and still were more balanced, flexible, and composed than any of us. That's something I really noticed here.. Many of the elderly people are very self sufficient, and very active. They appear to just be in overall better health than back home. I really believe that the lifestyle choices that the Chinese make lead to longer, healthier lives.
We then traveled back to the park and gardens where we had dined on ...

Drunk Lock Pro
1,000 - 5,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Dues Mobile
Drunk Lock Pro prevents you from accidentally sending a drunk text or making a drunk dial when you are intoxicated. You have the option to prevent all outgoing calls/text or just to specified contacts. It also allows you to select apps on you phone to block while Drunk Lock Pro is enabled. In order to turn the application off you must answer a series of basic math problems. If you get any of the questions wrong, you must try again.
What's all in Pro that's not in the free version?
* No Ads
* Block Calls from Specific Numbers and Contacts
* Enable Drunk Lock Pro to turn on / off during specific times.
* View your most recently added contacts. This can come in handy in the scenario that you get a number the night before and are unable to remember the person's name.
This app is meant to stop you from drunk dialing or drunk texting. A widget available that allows for you to easily toggle the app on or off. You are still able to make emergency calls if needed while Drunk Lock is active.

* Added full application blocking from Drunk Lock Pro
* No longer able to switch math difficulty while Drunk Lock is on
* Redesign of UI theme

There are a lot of absolute garbage apps that claim to solve this problem.;This app is heads and shoulders above the competition. No, it's not perfect (per contact granularity would be nice), but it serves the purpose. Awesome Things : 1x1 Widget, Configurable difficulty, select additional apps to block, scheduled locking Could Be improved: * Per-contact-call-blocking seems broken. I can't o

The app doesn't work all the time, or for all the selected blocks you want it to. The whole purpose of me buying this was so I could schedule a time where my phone would not allow me to contact certain people. If it doesn't work consistently then their is no point in having the app. Also it is not convienant that I cannot just select certain people to block from texting but instead have to block t

It worked the first time I tried it, after that it refused to ever turn on again. I can't even get it to uninstall.
(27 stars)
I bought this app this morning. Set the timer for tonight to see how it worked. It turned on but when I tried to txt people it did let me. They txted me back so I know it failed. I tried to make a call and it did ask me to solve math problems first. But I txt more then anything so Im pretty dissapointed :(
(27 stars)
The fact that you can block a specific person (such as an ex) to dial is the key feature. But instead of extending this selectivity to text or other apps such as snapchat or Facebook (it just locks completely) make this app a nuisance. When I'm drinking I want to use a lot of these apps. I'd only recommend this app if this was resolved. ALSO, even if you enable device admin so you can't force

Never mind The Terminator and Ed-209, what about Eve, Hector or Warbeast? Here's a pick of 15 less famous killer robots from the movies...
"They say Zapp Brannigan single-handedly saved the Octillion system from a horde of rampaging killbots!" enthused Leela in classic the Futurama episode, Love's Labour's Lost In Space.
It was, reflected the alcoholic, cigar-smoking robot Bender, "A grim day for Robotkind", before adding as an afterthought, "Eh, but we can always build more killbots."
Killer robots are a longstanding staple of science fiction cinema, and if we were to compile the list of the best and most celebrated, it would probably read pretty much like everyone else's - The Terminator, 2001: A Space Odyssey and the Sentinels from X-Men: Days Of Future Past would all get a mention.
But what about the less famous killer robots from film history - the ones that have been largely eclipsed by »

Written by Doran William Cannon
Directed by Otto Preminger
Of the nearly 70 films I've written about in this column, I would whole-heartedly recommend each without reservation, to not only watch, but to spend good money on. With 1968′s Skidoo, out now on a new Olive Films Blu-ray, I'm breaking that tradition. I wouldn't suggest anyone purchase this film, though everyone should see it. This is a most unusual, absolutely indefinable, wholly unique motion picture.
I initially viewed Skidoo on the sole basis of its starring Alexandra Hay, who I've been smitten with since first seeing her in Jacques Demy's Model Shop, released the following year. On this point, Skidoo succeeds. Hay is a delightful beauty, charming in a way that is very much of the era. Admittedly unfamiliar with her biography, I can't imagine why she didn't have more of a career. »

I'm overwhelmed at the idea of the new "Peanuts" movie. I grew up watching Charlie Brown's televised exploits on VHS in the early '90s, and even then he and his pals felt like quaint relics from another time. The fact that we're getting a Peanuts movie in November 2015 (with a snappy new trailer embedded above) is startling. Watch as Snoopy rides his doghouse like Slim Pickens on a nuclear bomb. Another reason the new "Peanuts" movie is exciting is because we may get to rediscover how deep and cool Charles Schulz' characters were. Here are five forgotten Charlie Brown adventures that illustrate the gravitas of these kids. Hopefully they'll be referenced in the upcoming feature. 1. Peppermint Patty's tumultuous ice skating career Peppermint Patty is remembered as a rowdy tomboy, but in "She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown," we're reminded that the jocular girl has an emotional side.

Is there a prescription we can take to come down from Miley Cyrus' latest music video? We've seen our fair share of Ke$ha videos, so we're pretty accustomed to crazy white girls, but Miley's video makes us want to take a shower in iodine.
You cannot easily forget Miley in white leggings grinding on a gross motel bed. **Shudders**
In the video Miley twerks. She goes swimming in a sheer bathing suit. She makes a skull out of french fries. It's basically just what happens when a bunch of stoner ratchets come home from the club, but don't want the party to end.
If your children are Miley fans, now is the time to turn off the Internet and play an old "Hannah Montana" DVD and tell your kids that Miley has retired.
Watch the video below and those nostalgic for "old" Miley, aka 17-year-old streetwalker Miley, check out "Can't Be Tamed" at the end of this post.

Why Finland's Schools are Top-Notch by Pasi Sahlberg CNN Opinion, Mon. October 6, 2014
It might seem obvious to put our trust in testing and data rather than in teachers. It's not practical to trust tests and data though and practical to trust teachers. Testing acts as an "observer" which automatically skews the resulting data. Wikipedia tells us "in science, the term "observer effect" refers to changes that the act of observation will make on a phenomenon being observed." The instruments of observation, i.e. the tests, "by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner." So, the data results of testing cannot be trusted to tell us anything about the whole child. First, the information is skewed. Second, the tests measure narrow thinking on narrow knowledge.
It's practical to trust teachers because teachers see the whole child. Teachers look at a student from a long-term life-long perspective and can see how students integrate the whole of what they are learning into the whole of who they are.

Christians and the Common Good
By Charles Gutenson (Soft Cover)
Asking in his new book, "How does God intend for us to live together?" Charles Gutenson, former chief operating officer of Sojourners, explores the place of religious involvement in politics and public policy. There are a multitude of opinions on what the Bible says about government. But Gutenson argues that we should first consider the nature of God and how God would have us treat one another, then let our engagement in public issues and institutions flow from those principles.

I think he, along with another very talented freshman named Davon Jefferson and sophomores Taj Gibson and Daniel Hackett could lead SC to an elite eight appearance this year after reaching the sweet 16 last year.

HoopsHype Israel rumors
A person familiar with the Cleveland Cavaliers' search says the team has contacted Maccabi Tel Aviv coach David Blatt about their coaching job. The highly regarded Blatt coached Russia to a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics. He is one of several candidates to speak with the Cavs, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because of the sensitivity of the situation. Blatt has not had a formal interview, the person said. Haaretz

Stoudemire also revealed he may head to Israel to play ball after he becomes a free agent in one year. "I feel in a year my game will still let me play in the NBA, but it depends on how I personally feel. I might decide to play in Israel." New York Daily News
Houston Rockets forward Omri Casspi has invited his entire team to join him in Israel this summer. Casspi told FOX 26 Sports center Dwight Howard, guards James Harden and Pat Beverley and forwards Chandler Parsons and Francisco Garcia have all expressed interest in working out with him in Israel. "It would be phenomenal," Casspi said. "The country is going to go crazy." FOX 26 Sports
Casspi said he told his teammates: "Come get a different feel, be in Israel a little bit. Come see my country where I'm from. Kind of get better bonding as a team." And while no dates have been set yet, Casspi said a number of his Rockets teammates want to make the trip. "Dwight is definitely interested," Casspi said. "Chandler said he's interested. James said he's interested, Cisco. Me and Cisco are very close friends. Pat Beverley is going to come. So it's going to be fun." FOX 26 Sports
Amar'e Stoudemire might say "Shalom'' to the NBA and play for his Israeli team in Jerusalem after his contract expires after next season, The Post has learned. New York Post
Stoudemire is part of a four-man ownership group, including superagent Arn Tellem, that purchased 60 percent of Hapoel Jerusalem last summer and turned the franchise into the top team in the Israeli league at 20-7. Stoudemire's late surge, during which he played near his All-Star level the season's final month, could prompt him to seek another NBA contract after 2014-15 when his $100 million pact expires. But he's also mulling Israel to boost its profile. New York Post
"We'll see,'' Stoudemire told The Post. "You can't rule anything out. The future is unknown and so if I have an opportunity to [play in Israel] and am still in great health, it would be great. I have one more year left on my deal and we'll go from there.'' Stoudemire claims he has Jewish roots on his mother's side and has become observant regarding Jewish holidays, including Passover, which began Monday night. Stoudemire said he will observe by not eating bread. New York Post
Israeli-American Ori Allon, who heads the Hapoel ownership group, said he has had discussions with Stoudemire about playing for Hapoel Jerusalem. Allon has a goal of making Hapoel into the same recognizable brand as Maccabi Tel Aviv and believes Stoudemire's addition — as owner or player — has put the team on that path. "We've discussed it in the past,'' Allon said. "It would be tremendous and unbelievable but it's still early. I think it's a real possibility, but he played very well this season so it's up to him.'' New York Post
Maccabi Tel Aviv will play against Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers on American soil, according to Sport5. The Israeli powerhouse will play the Cavaliers on October 5 and the Nets on October 7. Sportando
