The old, the new and the out of this world
"Messages"/EMI Records Ltd.
How do you keep the flames of radio legends burning? Well, in the Internet age, even the gods of sound need to be seen, not just heard. And so, in 2008, Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys released Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's 20-track CD, plus the bonus 31-track DVD, chronicling in fascinating sounds and sights the band's 30-year saga.
The unique brand of New Wave music by these experimental artists from Wirral Peninsula, near Liverpool, should bring in a wave of Tron-like nostalgia for those who grew up with the band. And as evidenced by OMD's Manila concert last March 12, Pinoys still know their "Enola Gay," "If You Leave," "Dreaming," "Secret" and "Messages" by heart.
This double-disc set should be a keeper, and perhaps a fitting take-off to acquaint fans with the duo's newest album, "History of Modern." For the young-uns—stop, look and listen. This is where your own avant-garde bands such as The Killers and Death Cab for Cutie got their "Electricity."
Nicki Minaj
"Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (Deluxe Edition)"/Universal Republic Records
Maybe the "Parental Advisory" label has something to do with it, but there's no doubt this Trinidad-and-Tobago-born rapper/singer-songwriter's starship is on hyper-speed to the nearest, brightest musical supernova. Her second album has now sold over a million copies worldwide, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Fans of Nicki have always known there was something different about her. Now Nicki shows they were right, pulling out the stops, and her verbal inhibitions, in showcasing that she's not only a bad (bleep) rapper and singer. She can also collaborate with almost anyone, including Lil' Wayne, Chris Brown and David Guetta.
She's a maniacal mutha provoking the 'hood to a hip-hop battle ("Come on a Cone," "Stupid Hoe"), then induce a club into trance with "Starships" and "Pound the Alarm."
Nicki stamped her signature British cockney rap style in the now-legendary "Super Bass." Here, she continues that groundbreaking tradition, mouthing off some more throaty tricks, throughout all 22 tracks.
Jay Park
"New Breed (Special Asia Edition)"/Universal Music Group International
It's equally interesting to listen to the CD of a young, bilingual hip-hop, R&B and pop artist (Korean and American in this instance) and learn about the back story of its production—especially when the artist is as involved in social media (Twitter) as Jay Park.
For a debut full-length studio album, he has done exceptionally well in both the US Billboard World Albums and South Korean Album charts (peaking at No. 4 and No. 1, respectively).
What may have actually birthed this album, the digital hit "Girlfriend," has the "flava" of Far East Movement's "Rocketeer," while "Know Your Name" takes on an entirely different Euro-dance rhythm.
And though he may have struck a pop hit in "I Love You," Jay implies in his intro, "New Breed," that he's dead-serious in migrating from eyecandy K-Pop to rough-and-tumble American hip-hop, as punctuated by the last track, "Clap."
In the meantime, though, enjoy the DVD for some slick choreography and video work.

The Indian student was shot dead by a white gunman on December 26
In a rare gesture, Lancaster University is to set up an annual scholarship in memory of Anuj Bidve, the Indian student whose murder in a suspected racist attack in Salford, Manchester, over Christmas holidays sparked widespread outrage and has led to concerns about the safety of foreign students in Britain.
The Anuj Bidve Memorial Scholarship, announced by Vice-Chancellor Mark E. Smith, would fund a graduate from Pune University, to study M.Sc. in Lancaster University's engineering department where Anuj was reading postgraduate micro-electronics.
"The scholarship is a fitting and lasting way of remembering Anuj, who was an outstanding student," Professor Smith said. He said the scholarship, which would cover the fee and accommodation cost, had been agreed in accordance with the wishes of Anuj's family.
The university hopes the first beneficiary would come to Lancaster in October.
Anuj (23), a graduate of Pune University, came to Britain last autumn. He was shot dead by a white gunman in an unprovoked attack on December 26 while holidaying in Salford with friends.
Wave of outrage
His murder caused a wave of outrage, with Prime Minister David Cameron calling for maximum punishment for his killer. Ministers have assured foreign students that Britain is a safe place to come and study.
Kiaran Stapleton (20), who calls himself "Psycho Stapleton," has been charged with Anuj's murder and is due to appear in the Manchester Crown Court next month.

SeasonPostseasonGame LogSplitsvs PitcherNotes8/15/2014 6:01:00 PMDescription: Blue Jays third baseman Juan Francisco isn't in the lineup Friday against the White Sox.Insight: Francisco has two hits in his last 35 at-bats, a .057 average. He's going to play a lot less frequently now that Adam Lind and Edwin Encarnacion are both healthy. 7/27/2014 4:56:00 PMDescription: Blue Jays third baseman Juan Francisco smacked his 16th homer of the season Sunday against the Yankees.Insight: Francisco has done his damage in just 223 at-bats this season. The 27-year-old also has 96 strikeouts so he's hitting just .242. 7/26/2014 11:47:00 AMDescription: Blue Jays third baseman Juan Francisco is not in the lineup Saturday against the Yankees.Insight: Just a routine day off. Francisco's hot May (.284, 7 HR, 20 RBI, 1.013 OPS) is a distant memory, but he's been a respectable 3B fantasy option for most of the season. Cold6/20/2014 4:22:00 PMDescription: Blue Jays third baseman Juan Francisco is not in the lineup Friday against Cincinnati.Insight: Francisco's hot May (.284, 7 HR, 20 RBI) is a memory as he's struggled mightily in June, batting just .156 with a .586 OPS. Don't be surprised if he sees more time on the bench. Cold6/15/2014 12:10:00 PMDescription: Blue Jays third baseman Juan Francisco is not in the lineup Sunday.Insight: Francisco has struck out 14 times in 36 at-bats this month and batted .139 in that span. The team will start Brett Lawrie at third base and Steve Tolleson at second against the Orioles. Hot6/5/2014 8:31:00 PMDescription: Blue Jays third baseman Juan Francisco went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI Thursday at Detroit.Insight: Francisco has hit 10 jacks in just 123 at-bats and is slugging .593. The 26-year-old has always had plenty of power, but he hasn't been able to stay in the lineup because he strikes out so often and is terrible defensively. He's found a home as Toronto's starting third baseman against righties. Hot6/1/2014 10:03:00 AMDescription: Blue Jays third baseman Juan Francisco has only faced Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie six times, but he picked up three hits, all of which left the park.Insight: Francisco is the latest player to go from replacement level to elite power hitter after putting on a Blue Jays uniform, following in the footsteps of Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. In 109 at-bats, he's hit .275 with nine homers, 24 RBI, 22 runs and a .961 OPS. 5/31/2014 7:04:00 PMDescription: Jays third baseman Juan Francisco drove in four runs Saturday in a win over Kansas City.Insight: Two of his three hits went for extra bases. Francisco (.275, 9 HR, 24 RBI) is on pace for 26 homers this season, which would be eight more than the career-high he set last year while playing for the Braves and Brewers. 5/27/2014 10:10:00 PMDescription: Blue Jays third baseman Juan Francisco has nine home runs in 98 at-bats this season.Insight: He homered Tuesday against the Rays and has a .981 OPS this season. Like teammate Adam Lind, he only plays against righties because he's terrible against southpaws. 4/19/2014 11:35:00 AMDescription: Just brought up Juan Francisco will start at DH for the Blue Jays on Saturday. Insight: He'll take the spot of injured Adam Lind. Francisco batted .221 with 13 HR and 32 RBI in 240 at-bats with Milwaukee last season, but lost his job to Mark Reynolds and Lyle Overbay. 3/24/2014 3:54:00 PMDescription: First baseman Juan Francisco was released by the Milwaukee, reports Mike Vassallo of the Brewers.Insight: Francisco jumped off to a quick start last April, batting .297 with four homers and 11 RBI, but could hit his weight the rest of the way. He finished at .227 with 18 HR and 48 RBI, but was beaten out this spring by Lyle Overbay and Mark Reynolds. 8/15/2013 9:33:00 AMDescription: Brewers 1B/3B Juan Francisco hit a pair of longballs and drove in four runs Wednesday at Texas.Insight: In 56 games and 171 at-bats with the Brew Crew, Francisco has crushed 12 homers and is hitting .257 with an .865 OPS. He strikes out a ton -- 31.3 percent K rate with the Brewers, 33.5 percent for the season -- but he has balanced it out with a 10.3 percent walk rate with Milwaukee, compared to a 6.1 percent walk rate with the Braves. Overall, he's hitting .251 with 17 round-trippers, 45 RBI and a .796 OPS. 8/14/2013 10:12:00 AMDescription: Milwaukee corner infielder Juan Francisco is hitless in seven at-bats versus Texas starter Matt Garza with five strikeouts.Insight: Francisco has shown off some power with 15 homers this season, but he obviously doesn't see the ball well against Garza and should be avoided. 6/27/2013 9:16:00 PMDescription: Milwaukee corner infielder Juan Francisco has recorded four hits in his last three games. Fortunately for fantasy owners, three of them have been home runs.Insight: His batting average has actually fallen since coming to Milwaukee (.241 in 35 games with Atlanta, .196 in 19 games for the Brewers). At least Francisco is finally showing a little power. He'll try to extend his home run streak to four straight games Friday when the Brewers open their series with Pittsburgh. 6/3/2013 7:00:00 PMDescription: Monday the Braves dealt struggling third baseman Juan Francisco to the Brewers.Insight: Milwaukee gave up minor league reliever Thomas Keeling to complete the trade. The Brewers already have Aramis Ramirez at third base so Francisco (.241, 5 HR, 16 RBI) won't see many at bats. 5/30/2013 3:27:00 PMDescription: Braves third baseman Juan Francisco has been designated for assignment.Insight: Francisco was hitting .316 on April 24, but all the strikeouts caught up to him. He went 8-for-51 (.157) with one homer and 25 strikeouts over his last 19 games. Meanwhile, Chris Johnson is batting .346 this season. 5/8/2013 9:06:00 PMDescription: Braves third baseman Juan Francisco belted an eighth inning grand slam Wednesday in a victory over the Reds.Insight: It was his only hit of the game. Francisco has amassed a .493 slugging percentage this season, which is the second-highest of his career. 5/5/2013 12:30:00 PMDescription: Atlanta third baseman Juan Francisco (ankle) is not ready to return to the lineup, according to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.Insight: Francisco is dealing with a mild right ankle sprain and is day-to-day. However, he felt better Sunday and could return to the lineup early this week. 5/4/2013 9:58:00 AMDescription: Atlanta third baseman Juan Francisco injured his ankle Friday against the Mets and is doubtful for Saturday's game.Insight: It looked a lot worse than the diagnosis which is a mild sprain and day-to-day status. Chris Johnson should get most of the playing time (.352, 2 HR, 9 RBI, .874 OPS) and could be a solid fantasy option. 5/3/2013 9:22:00 PMDescription: Atlanta third baseman Juan Francisco injured his ankle Friday against the Mets. SOURCE: Adam Rubin, ESPNInsight: Ramiro Pena has come on to take his place. Francisco swatted an RBI single before leaving the game.

Finding files with Recoll
Whether you're looking for a letter to the Internal Revenue Service or an email from an online trader, the Recoll desktop search machine will help you find it with just a few mouse clicks.
Even if you keep to a strict system of filing data and documents in a well-thought out directory struc ture, you're bound to lose track of a file sooner or later, probably when you need it most. The file manager's search func tion might help here, but unfortunately, it just checks for file names. If you're lucky, you also might be able to check the content of text files, but that's not much help if your OpenOffice file with the letter to the IRS is stored as 12112005fa. After grinding away at your hard disk for ages, the results are likely to be disappointing. Enter Recoll [1], your personal full text search engine (not to be confused with the Rekall database). Recoll searches for the keys you type, both in external attributes such as the file name and in the documents themselves. Just as in other desktop search engines like Beagle [2], Recoll creates an index to do this. The program has an impressive ar senal of utilities that help search through document content and relies on the Xapian [3] index engine.

I despise in-app purchases. Micro transactions are a blight on the gaming industry, even if they are what's keeping half the publishers afloat. Still, far too many people are plagued by unintentional bills, and almost no game is safe from the constant plea for more money. Apple already changed the classification from "free" to "get" on the store, but now they've gone a step further.
I love Oddworld. It's easily one of the most imaginative places I've ever had the joy of experiencing in titles like Abe's Odyssey and Abe's Exodus. One venture to that crazy place I missed entirely was Stranger's Wrath. The game came out way back in 2005 on the original Xbox, and was then ported to PC and PlayStation 3 in 2011. It's now coming to iOS.
Despite being a broken, glitchy mess online, Battlefield 4 is still a technically stunning (and demanding) game. It's on the other side of the visual spectrum, pushing hardware to the limit for photo-realistic representation. You would never expect to get something like Battlefield 4 on a mobile device. Well at least that's what I thought yesterday.
I never thought I'd need a tablet until I got an iPad a few years ago. That not so little device opened up a ton of new working and multitasking options to me, especially in tandem with my iPhone and MacBook. It seems like the world is in love with iPads, which happens to be Apples best selling product. Good thing another two are on the way.
That is, the trading card game version of that popular battle monster franchise. Vague headlines, hooooooooooooo!
You know what this world lacks? I'll give you a hint: it starts with a "MMM" and ends with an "OBA". Those games are just so far and few between these days! Luckily, a brand new one was unveiled along with the new range of Apple products last night. Are you ready for Vainglory?
I absolutely adore puzzle games. There's little in this world that can better the feeling of solving a particular puzzle that I've been stumped by for hours. A wave of satisfaction that feels incredible rewarding, only made better by the appearance of another challenge. Like I said, I love puzzles, and that's why I'm already in love with Cadence.
By far the best technical innovation that I saw at Gamescom was Skylanders on iPad. Geoff had already raved about it, but when I saw it for myself I was duly impressed. During an interview, we demoed it so you can see for yourself just how cool it is.
Last week 2K began teasing something to do with BioShock. Many of us thought they were ready to continue with the franchise after the closure of Irrational Games earlier this year. Not only did their announcement yesterday shoot those rumors down in flames, they revealed a port that no one really saw coming.
There's a long weekend coming up, and some travelling to do on the horizon no doubt. Need some entertainment, and happen to be tired of reaching three stars on veteran in Kingdom Rush? Well good news, because Blizzard's insanely addictive Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is now out globally for the iPad.
Sometimes, the platform truly makes the game. Sure, almost anything could be played on PC or console. But I have a feeling that when Hearthstone makes its home on iPad, it will be unstoppable. I mean, it got Darryn addicted - and now certain regions can share in his obsession.
When it comes to guilty pleasure games, Surgeon Simulator is at the top of my list. The things I've done to the human body in that grisly game defy all manner of comprehension. Funnily enough, it didn't leave me feeling squeamish at all. But a dentist mode? I am f$#%ing terrified of dipping into that mode.
It seems like almost everyone has an iPhone, iPod or iPad these days. I actually had one of the early iPods back in the day. That thing was a brick, but I loved it. Now it seems that maybe I would love the Vita in the same way, if we believe PlayStation UK's Managing Director, Fergal Gara.
Mobile gaming is huge. I think we sometimes forget just how many people play games on their phones, and fork out big money for the privilege of doing so. Apple has revealed that 2013 was their best ever year for the App Store, raking in a lot of money, usually $1 at a time.
Out of all the games that Blizzard is busy with right now, Heroes of Warcraft: Hearthstone could be their biggest and most surprising hit. It's a card game for everyone, and it's ridiculously addictive. And when it hits mobile devices, I might never lift my head away from my iPad ever again.

Objects & Cultural Stereotypes in Museum Victoria Collections
Image: Boxed Marionette - Hi-Lo, Lamont Puppets
Source: Museum Victoria
Racial and cultural stereotypes have permeated material culture, being especially prominent from the nineteenth century until the 1960s, and even, on occasion, up until the present day. Although a sensitive topic, museums and other centres of learning have come to see the value of these objects in both tracing cultural representations of diverse peoples over time, and in advocating cultural sensitivity and understanding. This collection contains a variety of artefacts which create and/or perpetuate subtle or overt stereotypes. Though there are many types of prejudice in material objects, this collection focuses on cultural, racial and national stereotypes, although gender and socio-economic stereotypes may also be discernible.
The collection includes over 200 items and is still growing, including objects relating to advertising and branding, cultural appropriation and reappropriation, children's play, tourism, and immigration, ranging from the early 1800s to the present day. The variety of artefacts relating to this topic reveals how widespread these representations have been in creating and maintaining ideas of cultural superiority in society both explicitly and implicitly. There are toys and games, product packaging, flyers, posters, books, theatre programs, national dolls, clothing, lantern slides, and photographs. Museum Victoria holds a large range of children's toys, some of which perpetuate cultural stereotypes; these include golliwogs, marionettes, cards games, and fancy dress costumes. While many children may not have understood the negative connotations, toys can reflect the attitudes of parents who purchased, the companies who manufactured them and the behaviours children may then digest. The Museum's Australian Children's Folklore Collection Archive, a separate, internationally-recognised collection which also addresses some of these themes, provides a non-material record of prejudice and stereotyping manifested in the rhymes, games, taunts, insults and riddles of children in the latter half of the twentieth century.
The tourism industry has actively promoted and utilised national stereotypes for economic gain, knowingly recreating and reproducing images which conform to the preconceptions a traveller may have. A selection of Australian postcards in the collection illustrates this by using images which portray Aboriginal culture as homogenous. The advertising industry also draws upon a range of stereotypes to attract consumers by giving their products 'authenticity', resonating with widely held preconceptions, and be memorable through humour, and even controversy. Products including packaging, posters and magazine advertisements showcase the role of consumerism in spreading stereotypical representations. The aim of advertising is to be noticed, meaning that even if advertisements receive bad press for derogatory stereotypes, they are still receiving attention; thus inappropriate imagery remains an issue today.
Amongst other motivations, global events from the abolition of slavery through to the civil rights movements, have provoked those in positions of privilege and power to find overt and insidious ways to try to maintain the status quo. Stereotypes were also sustained through the use of caricatures in thousands of everyday objects, in order to belittle and demean people deemed to be 'different' whether in terms of culture, race, gender, ability, sexuality or socio-economic position (Pilgrim, 2013). In Australia, both Indigenous Australians and new waves of migrants have frequently become the target of cartoonists and illustrators, photographers, advertisers and consumer product designers and manufacturers. Of particular interest are stereotypical images and words on consumer packaging, so much a part of people's everyday lives and made to seem innocuous and inoffensive through this very ordinariness: lolly and biscuit packets, tins of floor polish and motor oil.
Moreover, cultural interactions will inevitably result in the adopting of diverse cultural styles, practices and traditions. With the increase in transmigration and globalisation, the interaction between cultures has increased and has become an almost unavoidable [and not necessarily problematic] phenomenon. In some cases, for example the use of Aboriginal Australian motifs in a Laminex product, this can be seen as 'cultural appropriation': taking from a culture which is not one's own with little or no knowledge, experience, respect or traditional context (Fager, 2005). When elements of a particular culture are taken and used inappropriately, it can create or entrench cultural generalisations. It can also lead to the 'freezing' of certain cultures as 'primitive' and without contemporary relevance (Haffenreffer exhibit, 2012). However, this has also seen the reappropriation of words, images, stereotypes and objects which may have been considered derogatory, but have now been embraced, celebrated and re-interpreted by the identifying group. The 'Wogboy' and 'Woggirl' numberplates in the Museum's collection are examples of this practice. Another example is the 'Acropolis Now' souvenir tea set relating to the comedy series based in Australia featuring characters with Spanish, Greek and Australian background. They acknowledge their national stereotypes and use humour to show how ridiculous those stereotypes were when portrayed in reality.
Cultural representations in material culture can evoke mixed reactions from their users, consumers and audiences: nostalgia for a childhood toy, offense at a caricature, fondness for a familiar souvenir, guilt or shame for a former association. Education, empathy and respect towards historical and contemporary cultural differences will reduce acceptance of and tolerance for potentially insulting cultural, racial and other human characterisations. But controversy and debate will persist according to different perceptions: what amuses one person, offends another. Consequently, as the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia in the USA has found success in 'using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance', it is this approach that Museum Victoria's 'cultural stereotypes' collection aims to adopt (Pilgrim, 2011).

ROCKINGHAM — A Richmond Senior High School student drowned in the Pee Dee River on Saturday.
Authorities say 17-year-old Jaquan Bailey of Hamlet drowned Saturday while fishing with a group of friends at Blewett Falls Lake in Richmond County. The recreation area is between Richmond and Anson counties.
Anson County Sheriff Tommy Allen Jr. said early Monday that the teen drowned on the Richmond County side of the river.
Family members told WSOC-TV that Bailey decided to jump into the water to cool off and went under the water. The friends were unable to pull him out.

Vikings get new stadium plan, tough sell ahead
ST. PAUL, Minn. It has taken the Minnesota Vikings nearly a decade to get this far in their quest for a new stadium.
There is a lot more work to be done.
Gov. Mark Dayton and Vikings owners Mark and Zygi Wilf unveiled plans Thursday for a new, $975 million stadium that would be built nearly on top of the Metrodome site in downtown Minneapolis. The deal, assembled behind closed doors in recent weeks, was a key step toward getting a plan in front of state lawmakers and other civic leaders for approval.
Still, the plan is a far cry from becoming reality.
"Every single politician is now going to have to make a tough decision," said Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, a stadium booster who must now persuade a majority of skeptical city council members to dedicate sales tax proceeds to the effort.
Also standing between the Vikings and a new stadium are 201 state lawmakers, all of them up for reelection later this year and many of them unconvinced that $737 million in public money should be contributed to the plan.
"I can't see a way for me to vote for it," said Sen. Jeff Hayden, a Minneapolis Democrat. "My constituents have weighed in consistently that they do not want public financing of private stadiums."
Backers of the proposal said it would benefit not just the Vikings but the state of Minnesota. Under their deal, the team would collect all stadium revenue raised as a result of football games there. But the stadium would be owned by a new public entity that would keep all other profits, from other sporting events to rock concerts and the like.
The deal calls for covering the $975 million construction tab with $398 million from the state, $150 million from the city of Minneapolis, and $427 million from the Vikings. In addition, Minneapolis would eventually provide another $189 million in operating costs while the team would kick in another $327 million to that end.
The state's share would come from authorizing an electronic version of an existing pull-tab gambling game played in bars and restaurants; the money would be raised from existing taxes on pull-tabs in the belief that the new version would increase gambling activity. The city's share would come from a redirection of existing sales and hospitality taxes that currently fund the city convention center.
The NFL would have to approve any stadium deal, since part of the Vikings share would likely come from a league funding program to help build new facilities around the NFL. Mark Wilf said only that the team's share was private.
Dayton, joined by the Wilfs, Rybak, lawmakers, business and labor leaders, rolled out the proposal at a Capitol news conference. The Democratic governor has pushed the project for months, touting what he calls a "people's stadium" that could also be used for high school and college sports tournaments and special events; backers said it could also allow Minnesota to host national occasions like a Super Bowl and an NCAA Final Four.

Skin grafting may follow surgery, to repair or reconstruct the vagina. Skin grafting is a surgical procedure in which skin is moved from one part of the body to another. A piece of healthy skin is taken from a part of the body that is usually hidden, such as the buttock or thigh, and used to repair or rebuild the area treated with surgery.
Even if the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the surgery, some patients may be given radiation therapy after surgery to kill any cancer cells that are left. Treatment given after the surgery, to lower the risk that the cancer will come back, is called adjuvant therapy.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can affect cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Topical chemotherapy for squamous cell vaginal cancer may be applied to the vagina in a cream or lotion.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

NHR-49 in worms is analogous to various proteins in humans, all of which belong to a family of proteins called nuclear receptors. Nuclear receptors, such as estrogen receptors and androgen receptors, are particularly good targets for pharmaceutical intervention. "The identification of a nuclear receptor that turns on and off the beneficial response to nutrient deprivation would be of great interest because it would be a candidate for drugs aimed at tricking the body, or specifically the reproductive system, into thinking they are calorically restricted or starved, even when food intake is normal," Van Gilst said.
The biomedical implications of model organisms such as flies and worms cannot be overlooked, he said. "Many paradigm-shifting discoveries in C. elegans have since been replicated in humans. Therefore, the idea that our findings will be relevant to human reproduction is a possibility that certainly needs exploration," he said.
However, Van Gilst is quick to point out that even if this mechanism is conserved in humans, it is still unknown what degree of caloric restriction would be required to impact egg production in humans. "If such a process exists in humans, it likely evolved to help our ancestors preserve fertility during periods of famine or food shortage. We certainly don't have a prescription for famine. Consequently, our study should not be used to promote potentially dangerous interventions such as severe caloric restriction and starvation as a means to restore a

Kurt Rambis, who served last season as Laker General Manager Mitch Kupchak's assistant, is expected to become an assistant coach next season in a mild modification of Phil Jackson's staff.
Bill Bertka, the longtime Laker assistant who has served under seven Laker head coaches, is believed to be transferring into a consulting or scouting position with the club.
Tex Winter, who with Jackson won six NBA titles in Chicago and then accompanied Jackson to Los Angeles, is mulling retirement, but might simply reduce his travel with the club and maintain all previous responsibilities. Winter, 79, is said to be eager to test his triangle offense against NBA rules that next season will allow zone and gimmick defenses.
Assistants Jim Cleamons and Frank Hamblen are expected to return in the same capacities.
Rambis' move--from front office to the bench--would appear to affirm him as Jackson's heir apparent. Rambis coached 37 games and the playoffs in the turbulent 1999-2000 season, but has remained a favorite of owner Jerry Buss and Kupchak.

HDNet's 'Inside MMA' to Feature King Mo, Bigfoot Silva, and Guest Host Josh Thomson
DALLAS, May 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Former Strikeforce(TM) Lightweight Champion Josh Thomson joins Kenny Rice as the guest host on this week's "Inside MMA."
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080324/HDNETLOGO)
With the UFC's purchase of Strikeforce(TM), big dream fights are once again on the mind of every MMA fan. Former Strikeforce(TM) Light Heavyweight Champion "King" Mo Lawal tells Kenny and Josh that he's got an inter-promotional dream fight of his own in mind: getting a match-up with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
"If he can make weight," said Lawal. "…I heard he had to do lap band surgery because he is [about] 250 pounds or something. I heard he was probably 260. The lap band surgery is probably a good idea for him to do and he'll make weight," added "King Mo." "If he can handle Matt Hamill and I win my fight then we can try to make that thing happen."
A preview clip is available at:
Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva also joins the panel to talk about the Strikeforce(TM) Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament. Silva advanced to the semi-finals in February with a victory over Fedor Emelianenko. He'll break down the upcoming tournament bout between Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum and tell us who he wants to face in the next round.
Rounding out the panel is Mark "The Shark" Miller who shares his incredible comeback story from open heart surgery and previews his fight in United Glory later this month.
Plus, Ron Kruck has the latest report in his "Inside America's Gyms" series from Power MMA in Gilbert, Arizona, the home to former Arizona State standouts Ryan Bader, CB Dollaway and Aaron Simpson.

Dr. Alan Greene on Regressive Behavior
My son has been punching and smacking himself in his penis lately. And he's been regressing to babyish behaviors, sucking on a pacifier (which he never took as an infant) and climbing into his baby sister's crib. Is this normal?
Both of those behaviors can be quite normal behavior. Whenever kids have a younger sibling in a crib or on a pacifier, it's perfectly natural for them to want to try out those behaviors. But it's important for the older child to get more attention for "big boy" or "big girl" behaviors, even though it's so easy to comment on the cute baby behaviors.
Remind your son what a big boy he's become and give him big boy chores to do around the house. When you see your son doing baby stuff, rather than commenting on that, distract him away from it by engaging him in an age-appropriate activity that you both like.

From the Editor
Welcome to Linux Journal's kernel issue. Though it's true what Ted Ts'o says in this month's interview about the more exciting work in the Linux community happening in user space than in the kernel, there are still enough intriguing developments in the kernel to merit devoting an issue to it.
In fact, some of the most exciting recent kernel developments are covered in this month's pages. Last month we ran Rick Lehrbaum's interview with the preemptible kernel patch maintainer, Robert Love. This month Robert wrote a feature article explaining just how the patch lowers latency and how this translates to performance benefits, not only for those needing real-time efficiency, but also for regular users.
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the Linux USB and PCI Hot Plug kernel maintainer, reveals how the Linux kernel, as of 2.4.15, handles the kernel-level difficulties associated with hot-pluggable devices by way of the PCI Hot Plug driver core.
While iptables are no longer the latest in kernel development, the Netfilter code is constantly evolving, and many are still struggling with iptables building. Last year for our kernel issue David A. Bandel wrote an introductory-level article on Netfilter. He received a deluge of e-mail requesting further guidance. So to satisfy our readership, David delves into more advanced iptables building. Look for a further sequel to David's article in next month's Kernel Korner.
Continuing in a security vein, Michael Bacarella explains how POSIX capabilities in the Linux kernel can provide a useful middle-ground permission level that grants more liberal permissions than a standard user, but not the potentially harmful level of root.
In our last feature article, David Frascone brings us to the border of user land and the kernel by explaining the benefits of kernel module debugging with User-Mode Linux. UML provides something of a virtual machine for safer debugging.
Speaking of user land, one of the more intriguing developments there, at least for our production staff at Linux Journal, may be the Scribus Project (web2.altmuehlnet.de/fschmid/index.html). Here at Linux Journal we try to practice what we preach, and everyone from the accountant to the receptionist, to the marketing and editorial departments do their work on Linux workstations. The only thing we don't do on Linux is magazine layout. Hopefully the Scribus Project will allow us to change that.
Scribus is a GPLed layout program for Linux. It's still in its early stages of development with a team of three—two of whom do the documentation, leaving all the programming to Franz Schmid. Franz is currently working on adding new object types like curves, polygons, etc. The team's goal is to match the quality of programs such as Adobe PageMaker and QuarkXPress.
I'm sure Franz wouldn't object if someone wanted to lend a hand. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Posted on April 17, 2013 AT 11:25am
Nintendo announced today that Pikmin 3 hit retail shelves and launch on the Nintendo eShop August 4.
Pikmin 3 was originally expected to be a Wii U launch window title, but then slipped into a nebulous "2013″ release timeframe.
Nintendo also revealed a new breed of Pikmin, the flying Winged Pikmin. These pink-colored Pikmin can carry items in the air, and according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, "will be helpful in different ways than the other Pikmin types."

More Day 3
Still riding along the ocean I was looking for a place the guys back at Mikes Sky Ranch called "Pirates Cove" for you gringo's.
Or "La Cueva Del Pirata" -----to the experienced Mexico traveler who could speak Spanish------which was not us.
They told us we'd be here by lunch---but they had no idea how slow we were---and how the road was washed out---nor
how many times we'd crash---nor how many naps we took.
Between me and the guys at Mikes Sky Ranch we entered a waypoint into my gps by just kind of guessing where this place was. We was about a mile off----but I had no problemo finding it. Scott was ready for a comfy bed.
As we first approached Pirates Cove---the place kind of looked like somebody blew it up.
A closer inspection revealed the place was open for business--------but never finished---a re-occuring them in Baja
since all the dumb Gringo's are afraid to come down here ignoring the news casts and newspaper reports about all the murders, rapes, car jackings, people taken hostage,
stabbings, drugs, crack whores, robberies taking place in their own country---and in their own neighborhoods.
I personally kind of like this situation down here---nice and quiet---like it was quite a few years ago.
The restaurant was quite nice and we had great meal and were the only ones there.
Scott's not grumpy here----------he is hurting.
After our meal we aquired a nice room----500 peso's for a room with a view----400 for no view.
You see which we chose and I went back into the restaurant and got me and Scott a couple Tecate's.
We stayed out here till the sun set completely ---------and then some.
We had preferential parking for our bikes---I didn't ask------we just rode them up onto the outside deck.
What are they going to do--------throw their only customers out ????
72 Miles for the day
Here is the route we rode today. A truly iron butt day
insert another cliffhanger
The next day we ride on.
But what would finally be the last straw for Scott
And this ride ???

BOX 6-1Brief History of Medical Technology Assessment in the U.S. Federal Government21
Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) was created in 1972 as an analytical arm of Congress and conducted studies in nine areas, one of which was health.
NIH Consensus Development Program was established as a mechanism to judge—in an unbiased, impartial manner—controversial topics in medicine and public health. NIH has conducted 115 consensus development conferences, and 22 state-of-the-science (formerly "technology assessment") conferences, addressing a wide range of issues.
Office of Medical Applications of Research (OMAR) was established as part of the NIH Consensus Development Program. This is the focal point for evidence-based assessments of medical practice and state-of-the-science on behalf of the medical community and the public. NIH resisted the establishment of this office for many years, but eventually could no longer resist congressional pressure.
National Center for Healthcare Technology was established to advise the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA, now CMS) on coverage decisions for new medical technologies under the Medicare program.
National Center for Health Care Technology (NCHCT) was eliminated. The American Medical Association (AMA) and Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) (now known as AdvaMed), led the move. However, the center paved the way for the AHRQ.
Office of Health Technology Assessment (OHTA) of the National Center for Health Services Research assumed the responsibilities of NCHCT following its elimination.
OTA was not funded by Congress during a time of budgetary concerns.
American College of Radiology Network (ACRIN) is the first large-scale collaborative clinical trials group devoted to the development of technologies for medical imaging. Clinical trials were launched in 1999.
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) was established. The NIBIB mission statement includes the "translation and assessment of technological capabilities in biomedical imaging…" This is the first NIH institute to include technology assessment in its mission statement.
Intense debate over the value of the AHRQ, the only "official" federal medical technology assessment agency. Some lawmakers were in favor of closing the agency. The AHRQ budget, which was already too small to allow anything beyond very limited funding of clinical technology assessment, was reduced. AHRQ was reauthorized only until 2005.

The Frankfort village board voted at Thursday's meeting to have the pile of debris from a demolished building removed as soon as possible and the site cleaned up.
Several South Frankfort Street residents were on hand for the meeting to ask when the debris from the building at 202 S. Frankfort St. would be removed. Mayor Frank Moracco declared a state of emergency on July 27 and ordered the building taken down after receiving reports one of the floors had collapsed and inspecting the building with other officials. Once it was determined the building was a hazard, he ordered that it be demolished.
"I know the first step was taken," said Mike DeRollo and he thanked village officials for their quick response to the emergency, but he asked what the next step would be.
"As neighbors, we're very concerned. It should be cleaned up," he said.
DeRollo and his wife, Dorri, also wanted to know when their driveway would be accessible again. They have had to park on the street because of the debris in their driveway.
When the issue came up later in the meeting, Moracco outlined the costs associated with the work. He said the cost of demolishing the building, filling in the cellar with hard fill and adding sand and soil and seeding the property would be $18,000. A state permit process, which could take up to two weeks, would add another $2,000. There is a $3,000 fee for air quality monitoring during the removal process and a $2,000 fee for the double lined dumpsters that will be needed. The cost of hauling the debris to the dumping site adds another $10,000, bringing the cost to $35,000.
In addition, there is a $95 per ton tipping fee, although the mayor said a payment plan could be worked out with the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority so payments could be made during a three- to four-year period.
He plans to apply to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance in paying for the project because the heavy rains brought the building to a state of collapse.
Moracco asked village board members for their opinions on what should be done and all three trustees present agreed the debris should be removed and the site cleaned up.
"We can't leave it the way it is," said Trustee Michael Entwistle. "We need to do the right thing."
Deputy Mayor Richard Adams and Trustee Mark Harris also voted to remove the debris and clean up the site as soon as possible.
Trustee Anthony Fumarola was absent.
Moracco said the request for the necessary permit has already been filed and he anticipated the removal of debris would not take more than a week.
Village Superintendent Ron Vivacqua said village crews would clean up the DeRollos' driveway and make sure it was free of nails so they could get their car off the street. He said while village officials don't know if there was asbestos in the building, the site would be treated as if there were. Given the frequent rain, he did not think there would be an issue with the asbestos, but when the debris is being removed the air quality will be monitored and neighbors will be asked to keep their windows closed.
Page 2 of 2 - The village had looked into having the building at 202 S. Frankfort St. torn down earlier this year, but rejected the bids as too costly. Moracco said the process was also stalled because the property had nine liens against it.
No one has lived in the apartment building for several years and neighbors have complained about its condition.
Mike DeRollo asked at Thursday's meeting if someone could purchase the property. Moracco said if the village receives reimbursement from FEMA, the property would be "forever green" and no one could purchase it.
"The most we could have on it would be grass, a park bench and a little light," he said.
Codes enforcer James Staffo reported there are two other buildings he is concerned about, but he wants to contact the owners before taking any action. Both owners live in the area.
Moracco said some abandoned properties are being left with the utilities still on. When anyone sees a building that has apparently been abandoned, he said, "a red flag should go off and you should notify the utilities department right away."

I try to cook for my family as often as I can but there are days I need a break too. When I don't cook, we normally eat at hawker stalls and once a while at restaurants. Both of us, my other half and I enjoy Japanese food, varying between the sashimi, tempura or teppanyaki sets. Having tasted teppanyaki salmon served with rice a couple of times, I ventured into replicating it at home. I don't know how teppanyaki is made in Japanese restaurants but from the taste, Japanese soya sauce particular stands out. As for the rest of the ingredients, it was my choice, as usual those I had at home.
I also made a salad with yellow and red capsicum, zucchini, cabbage and romaine lettuce. Nevertheless, you can opt for your own choice but within those suited to be eaten raw. This teppanyaki salmon served with rice and salad is absolutely delicious with the typical Asian flavours.
For the salmon
300g (one medium size piece) salmon - cut into two
1 tbsp Japanese soya sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp sugar
2 red chillies - sliced into medium size pieces
Crushed black pepper to taste
2 tbsp oil
(Note: add salt only if needed)
Salad sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 red chili - sliced thinly (optional)
*** Mix these ingredients together
Marinate salmon with all the ingredients except oil for at least 1 hour.
Remove salmon from the marinated ingredients.
Seal both sides in heated oil.
Then pour the marinated ingredients inside.
Simmer and cook until a thick sauce forms.
Place salmon on top of rice, pour sauce over and serve with the salad.

Workers and advocates for higher minimum wages will be staging protests at fast-food restaurants and major retailers on Thursday. They want these companies to significantly raise the wages for their lowest paid workers. So what would happen, if for example, McDonald's raised its lowest wage to $15 an hour? In some cases, that would double the pay workers get now.
