"Bring yourself to the part of taking hold of a role, as if it were your own life. Speak for your character in your own person. When you sense this real kinship to your part, your newly created being will become soul of your soul, flesh of your flesh." (Konstantin Stanislavski).
This is my tenth column. Time has flown. I'm still working out what works and what doesn't. I have positive comments but also, like last week's 'injury' column, sometimes it doesn't quite 'gel'. I sit here, at my computer (in my suit, obviously) drinking a coffee and meditating on what to do next. How can I get people to remember me in the crowded world of 'wrestling writers'? I could decide to do a series of articles all about things I want to read. Should I care less about the reader? No. I'll simply write about what I want, bludgeon on regardless and make people hate me as I trash talk everything and everybody. Indeed, as a wise man once said, "In an industry where diplomacy carries as much weight as the context and content of your suggestions, I choose to be blunt, and willing to suffer the consequences based on that."
Then something will change…
I might get asked to stop writing for TJR. I might get asked to take a sabbatical. Take some time off. You know, hang around at home because you screwed up. Think about what you did and then maybe, maybe, you'll be allowed back into the fold. So, I'll spend time at home researching, and nurturing my writing style until one day I'm allowed back. Now, I'll be refreshed and ready to work in whatever role TJR gives me. I'll have spent time on the internet rediscovering what I like about the business and realising what the fans love. I'll be back with a series of articles designed for both me and them. Because I can't be trusted as much, I might be getting told what to write columns on but, hey, I'm just happy to be back. As the same wise man once said, "I'm surprised I'm still here. I am waiting in anxious anticipation for the moment where enough people here realise, 'Oh, he's back? My God, get rid of him. We didn't want him back here.' I'm surprised I'm still here."
Then something will change…
I'll be given a new challenge. To take something small and make it grow into the next big thing. It'll be a pet project of TJR and might not be sure about it but, hey, it's what I do. I'm a writer and 'writers write'. I'll do my best, even if the readers, the ones I've got back on side, may not believe in it either. It'll be a long journey but I'll do what I do, in my clipped, bespoke suited, RP manner and give it my best shot. As that wise man again once said, "It's a reality that, in this world, things don't always go your way. To cry over things isn't going to help the situation or improve it. You can only change the system from within. Any true rebel will tell you that. You have to infiltrate the system and demonstrate to those on the outside why a change is needed."
So, that's the working relationship. You try and do your thing and you lose your way but you get brought back and you do your damndest to prove people wrong. You pretend not to care…but you do.
Now, I know for a fact I'm not clever enough to layer my writing. This is going to be a column that re-appears every couple of months where I analyze a current plot and/or character and the performances contained therein. It was my first column for TJR and is the one that got me the 'gig' here. Writing for knowledgeable readers means that you constantly have to up your game if you want to be read. It means I have to readjust my writing for, well, you lot. You. There. Looking at your screen. Hello. I'm talking to you. I have to repackage myself for you and stay current and relevant. Like wrestling. I'm actually a big fan of the current Swagger/Colter 'We the People' gimmick as it feels relevant. I like Aces & Eights for, even through several 'dropped ball' moments, they feel like what Nexus were never allowed to be. Talking about repackaging, Skip Sheffield to Ryback is a work in progress which might still pay dividends now he's allowed to talk a bit more and act less like The Terminator. Same with the Del Rio face turn of January 2013. As long as they focus on the friendship between him and Ricardo I'm sure the live audience will end up loving them. Also, the same could be said of backroom favorite and 'next big thing' Joseph Curtis Hennig, or Michael Mcgillicutty, or, now, Curtis Axel.
It's this final superstar that actually leads me onto the true topic for this column and, as I'm not very subtle, you've probably already guessed it. One man has a very storied history, not just with WWE but with wrestling in general. He has, regardless of what 'management' have said or done to him, remained relevant for years. He is the man for live fans, internet fans, fans watching at home. Yes, his background has seen him serve as manager for 'Mean' Mark Callous (The Undertaker) in WCW, before moving on to nearly every promotion in America, including a small, violent, important indie, before landing in the WWE. He did great work there before pissing off 'The Man' and, after one of the worst PPV's in history (in my opinion as someone who paid for it) was told to go. Now he's back though, he is increasingly becoming the pivot for Raw and, well, for the product in general. I'm not here to talk about his past though, I'll let more knowledgeable writers do that, I'm here to talk about his current 'in ring' work. His words. His performances. The man who, in the ring, on the mic, would "rather be held in contempt for who I am than loved for who I am not. I'm me." The wise man I've been quoting for the past one thousand words?
This is a man who is the centerpiece of the product at the moment. Now, this isn't a fantasy booking column about how it's all going to end up. This is about Heyman, in the ring, being the odious manager who revels in sticking it to the man, the boss, the corporation. It's a gimmick he's honed over the years based on his own experiences. Before CM Punk, Heyman was the one who dropped the pipe bombs ("The only reason you (JBL) were WWE champion for a year is because Triple H didn't want to work Tuesdays").
We can look at wrestlers like The Undertaker, Kane and Fandango and admire their 'characters' but Heyman is as much a character as them. He is meticulous with his work in the ring. Like Chris Jericho, Heyman is clearly a student of the game who loves the history of the business. He'll know how J.J.Dillon, Jim Cornette and Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan worked their promos and worked the crowd. I commented in my first column how The Undertaker never breaks character, apart from the American Bad-Ass gimmick, but it could be argued that Paul Heyman is the same. He is always the slimy manager out to get the best for their clients at the expense of the company and the fans who pay to watch.
He's a 'heel' (and heel manager) who believes he does nothing wrong. When he walks down the ramp, he is confident. He moves with power and purpose because he has something to say. Compare that to Vince McMahon's increasingly bizarre 'power walk'. There is a man who wants you to know you're not as good as him. Heyman doesn't have to do that, he already knows he's better than you. When he talks, with the pronounced delivery, because we're too stupid to follow his words otherwise, and spitting diatribe, we listen. He is simply telling us it as it is. This works twofold. Firstly, because of his past. He's done it all. He's worked for them all. He has knowledge and scouting ability that we, as fans, simply don't have (which makes the future of Curtis Axel particularly interesting). Secondly, let's be honest here, he's telling the truth. He calls Brock Lesnar 'the beast incarnate'? That's because he is. He calls CM Punk the best in the world? Ditto. Now he calls Curtis Axel 'the newest Paul Heyman guy' and why should we disagree. Yes, we know all the backstage talk and repackaging, but from a storyline point of view, with Paul Heyman behind him, Axel could be the future.
Heyman's work in the ring is exceptional because it changes slightly dependent on who he's in the ring with. As an audience, we should be scared of Brock Lesnar. Again, like Heyman, we know his past. He decimated Frank Mir in their UFC rematch in a bout that one of my friends called 'pretty upsetting'. He turned the cocky Mir into a bloody mess. He has the potential to do that to anyone and, for the WWE, that potential remains. On his return, the short Cena angle was excellent and bloody. The face-to-face the week after his debut, which saw Cena's mouth getting busted open, was rare and violent. Although his storied feud with Triple H never took off in quite the same way, this is still a beast who has been knocked senseless in two Wrestlemania's and still completed the match. So, when Lesnar goes in to attack someone on Raw, it's not just the beast that impresses upon us, it's Heyman behind him telling him to stop. Heyman is scared about what Lesnar is going to do. Not about how he's going to hurt someone, but how much. Before attacking McMahon, Heyman could be heard to say, 'I have this under control' and 'Please leave the ring Vince.' This, perhaps more than Lesnar's appearance, added to the threat of what might happen. Here was the manager terrified about what his client would do.
He changes completely when working with CM Punk. Yes, here is a wrestler far more comfortable on the mic that Lesnar. In a way, Heyman was brought into cement the heel status of the 'second city saint'. However, again, his arrogance as he stands behind Punk is based in reality. Heyman championed the independent Punk and brought him into the newly re-formed ECW. Punk, in reply, became a 'Paul Heyman guy'. In the face of the WWE corporate identity, Heyman championed wrestling and wrestlers over body-builders and brown-nosers. Although Heyman feared Punk's actions, he always feared (fears?) that Punk will say too much. Look at the recent Undertaker feud, Heyman would try and drag his client back from the precipice that would give Taker too much anger and, ironically, that's what happened. Punk was taken to a place that he couldn't return to the point where he has left the company. He was punished for his words, his actions and although Heyman was at times complicit, he knew the strategy wouldn't work against such a psychological opponent as The Undertaker.
Curtis Axel? It's far too early to tell but if you're going to have a manager, and be successful, you can't do any better than have Heyman in your corner. Axel has the heritage, the mean look and can clearly go in the ring. He has supporters in the back and, now, he has a supporter in the front too. There is a cockiness to Heyman right now though. He has, storyline-wise, the three best wrestlers in the company. He is the pivot by which all actions turn on. Like I said, this isn't a fantasy booking column but I would love to see, before it all inevitably falls apart, the three Paul Heyman guys stick it to the WWE corporate identity. Three very different wrestlers, at very different stages of their careers. It's almost like Evolution Mark II.
Basically, the three wrestlers in 'the stable' all need Heyman behind them for what he brings to the table. His words. His actions. His emotions. Due to his commitment in the ring, we care about the development of the story. Regardless of our feelings, positive or negative, towards Vince McMahon, as soon as Lesnar was nose-to-nose with him, Heyman pleading in the background, we were invested. We were worried. If we were in Vince's position, we'd be terrified. That fear though came from the fear we could hear in our ears from the one man who knows Lesnar better than any other.
It's easy to forget that someone like Heyman is as much a character as The Undertaker. That blurring of the line between reality and storyline draws us in. Here is a pure-bred wrestling man that is, slowly but surely, taking it to the company that diluted and destroyed his product but also got rid of him when he became too vocal. He has three wrestlers now that, just as much as The Shield, could dominate the product and put Heyman back at the top where he can undoubtedly sneer at all us from on high.
"When an actor is completely absorbed by some profoundly moving objective so that he throws his whole being passionately into its execution, he reaches a state we call inspiration." (Konstantin Stanislavski).

View USA Philatelic Content (appx 15 MB download)In a 1974 New York Times book review, Dr. Maya Angelou was described as writing "like a song… [with] a living rhythm completely her own." Indeed, the voice of the poet, actress, and champion of civiil rights resonated across pages as well as stages to reach countless lives.
So it was fitting for art director Ethel Kessler to embrace the power of words when designing Angelou's stamp. "It's her words that add depth to this stamp and to our memory of her," says Kessler, who believed strongly that an image alone wouldn't have conveyed the poet's impact. To that end, the design pairs a widely-recognized phrase used by Angelou with the 2013 oil portrait she loved, which now hangs in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. A short excerpt from her book Letter to My Daughter appears in the selvage.Kessler carried the power of words into yet another recent design, From Me to You (on page 6), which celebrates the connections we make through the mail and arrives just in time for the National Card and Letter Writing Month. The stamp sheet features colorful decals and labels in selvage perfect for personalizing an envelope and complementing the handwritten message inside. "When I sit down to write a note," Kessler says, "I feel like I'm with that person at the moment. I hope they feel treasured as a friend, and From Me to You captures that." May these stamps and many others in this catalog bring meaning to your correspondence as well as your collection.

But it is also a rejoinder to the view, which I expressed, that ethical norms are paramount.

33 year old woman | Cedar Park, TX, USA | Seeking men 29-38 within 50 miles
Looking for Mr Right....NOT Mr Right Now
I figured I should edit the beginning of this..... I just recently moved to Texas from Michigan, it was a huge decision and leap of faith for me to do this, but I know in my heart that this was the right move to make. I came down here for vacation with my best friend, we stayed some of that time with my cousin and her beautiful family, and she started talking about me moving here. Again. She's been on me to come here for about ten years now. So after church on the Sunday I was supposed to leave, and after a lot of prayer and self reflection, I decided to stay. I love it here, and very excited to see where this new journey takes me!! I'm a very outgoing, light hearted woman who loves to enjoy all that God has given us..I love being and doing things outside, from camping and swimming to BBQ's and tailgating and everything in between. All Michigan's four seasons and their outside activities. I love hanging out with friends and family, but also love those quiet nights alone cuddling. .I'm an animal lover, especially dogs. I love to cook and entertain. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh..usually at myself. If you can't laugh at yourself, someone else will, right? I am a bit sarcastic at times, but it's all in fun. I guess it all boils down to it doesn't really matter what your doing, so long as your with the right person. I finished college 3 years ago as a medical assistant. Then went on to receive my National certification, allowing me to work anywhere in the USA, although I think I'd be very sad if I had to leave my family..but I think once I meet the right man,and get married, if work took us out of state, I would be fine. I love what I do, I take great pride in caring for and helping other people. Its very humbling and personally rewarding. I love feeling or knowing that I just made a difference in someones life, no matter what the way. I enjoy taking in the little things in life...for example, to me, a flower given on a day that has no meaning, means more to me than a dozen given on Valentines day. The little things are what hold a couple together, the little secrets that you share together, that only the two of you laugh at. And then, when the big things do come along...there that much more fun!!! I'd love to travel although I haven't gone anywhere but Mexico and Canada. Family is very important to me. I love mine, and can't wait to have one of my own. My close group of friends I also consider family, as I am blessed to have each of them in my life. I'm just waiting for the right man to share this exciting journey with! That being said, my "right man" should love God and family. He hopefully will love life as much as I do. I want him to respect the things I love as I would him. We don't have to have everything in common, it's nice to learn and explore new things together. As quoted from one of my favorite songs..."I want a man who stands beside me". I'm looking for a partner, a best friend. Someone who is SERIOUS about the future and doesn't play games. The best relationships are built on that sturdy foundation. Things don't happen overnight, yes love at first sight is a wonderful thought and MAYBE, from time to time it does happen. But lets get real, this isn't a Disney movie. Although I am a Cinderella looking for her Prince Charming ;) Hopefully, this gives you somewhat of a good idea of who I am, and what I'm looking for. If this is you, please say hello!

Alabama: Nick Saban's status went to a whole other level with his third national championship. A win over the Tide would give him four BCS championships since 2003 and with no signs of stopping – outside of the rumors about the Cleveland Browns.
is Saban going to bolt after the game? An assistant in Cleveland under Bill Belichick, there's plenty of talk about possibly giving the big league another shot after failing with Miami going 15-17 in two years before unceremoniously taking off for the Alabama job.
At a young 61, there wouldn't be a better time to go off to the NFL, but if it's all just scuttlebutt and if he chooses to stick around, the sky is the limit on what he might still be able to do with the Tide with another great recruiting class on the way and a loaded team returning for the 2013 season.
While his 2008 Tide team famously clunked against Utah in the Sugar Bowl, for the most part, Saban is the best in the game when it comes to game preparation, especially with time to work. Not only have his teams won the big games when getting weeks to work, but they've destroyed the opposition lately, ripping apart Michigan to start the season, Michigan State in the 2011 Capital One, LSU in the 2012 BCS championship, and Texas in the 2010 BCS championship – helped in that by an injured Colt McCoy early on. If Alabama beats Notre Dame in a walk, Saban's status will go to an even higher level.
Offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier has done a terrific job taking over for Jim McElwain, who left after last year to take over the Colorado State job. Nussmeier has a gift of an offensive line to work around, but he has had to develop the skill players and needed to get creative throughout the year. Defensively, coordinator Kirby Smart has been brilliant since coming aboard in 2007. While Saban will get the credit for the win, Smart has been a major part of the game-planning success. Few are better with time to prepare, finding ways to take away strengths better than any coordinator in college football.
Notre Dame: There was a time not all that long ago when Brian Kelly was considered on a bit of a hot seat. The Irish didn't appear to be going anywhere, the Declan Sullivan tragedy gave the detractors plenty of ammunition, and more than anything else, he didn't appear to have a good handle on his relationship with the team.
However, he did a terrific job of recruiting over his short term and he's been able to slowly develop the talent level and raise the team's athleticism. This year, he made an important change in his personality and relationship with the team, and that has made a world of difference.
No, he didn't exactly make a 180-degree personality turn like Tom Coughlin famously did – he didn't need to – but the players started buying in, the on-field tantrums ceased, and all of a sudden, everything seemed to be working out.
A two-time national Division II national champion at Grand Valley State, he left to turn Central Michigan into a MAC superpower in three seasons. He parlayed that into the Cincinnati job, where he needed just three years to take the Bearcats into the first of two BCS runs, highlighted by a 12-0 2009. Now in his third year in Notre Dame, can he bring the program its first national title since 1988? If he doesn't there appear to be lots and lots of chances about to come – this isn't a one-year wonder under Kelly.
Defensive coordinator Bob Diaco was a hot prospect for several head coaching jobs, and he still might be, but the timing was off. He's not about taking too many wild chances and he doesn't come up with anything too funky, but his defensive line has turned into a killer and he did wonders with a shaky and depleted secondary. Against Alabama, his job will be to keep the running game under wraps while generating consistent pressure on AJ McCarron.
Offensive coordinator Chuck Martin has to get Everett Golson in a groove right away. Can he solve the Alabama puzzle that few have been able to do in bowl games? Unlike Diaco, he's going to have to get extremely creative and he'll have to be able to change on the fly to what Alabama comes out and decides to do. Getting the running game going is a must, but the Irish mostly have to read and react.
ADVANTAGE: Alabama. Kelly and Diaco have been tremendous, but Saban and Smart have been there, done that and knows exactly how to prepare a team for a game like this. Saban did a masterful job in what was supposed to be a rebuilding season, and he appears to have put together a team with the perfect mindset and attitude. On the flip side, if Notre Dame wins this game, all of a sudden it'll be Kelly who gets the credit and the respect as the hottest coaching mind in the college game.

Frankfurt airport ease of us
I have a connecting flight at Frankfurt, coming from Dulles going to Vienna. I will have checked bags and a carryon bag. Flying in on United and out on Lufthansa. First question is about passport control. Do I have to retrieve checked bags before going through passport control or do I just take my carryon through passport control? I am coming in on a 7am flight. Will I have enough time if the Vienna flight leaves at 845? How good is the signage? Is passport control signed as "passport control"? I've been reading horror stories about delays and unfriendly passport officials. Thanks.

The Challenge
The Global
Networking Challenge
Enterprises are evolving and so are their networks. Due to globalization and mobility, enterprise CIOs must now figure out ways to deliver their most important digital assets to the employees, customers, and partners who need to access them from anywhere in the world, anytime, and on any device.
At the same time, the mainstreaming of cloud-based enterprise applications adds another layer of complexity. The top applications moving to the cloud include such mission-critical ones as email, application development and testing, CRM, BI, and ERP solutions. Yet, CIOs also cannot entirely let go of legacy applications, many of which still sit behind the firewall.
As a result, CIOs and network managers are facing a whole new set of networking challenges, especially when they must deliver applications over the WAN. Due to congestion, latency, jitter, and a range of other problems, application delivery to distant users over the WAN is a major problem. Thus, CIOs at companies of all sizes are investigating hybrid networks that combine public cloud, private cloud, on-premises, virtual, and even mobile networks.
However, current WAN and datacenter Interconnect models were not built to deal with these emerging hybrid networks. Thus, there is a widening disconnect between data, applications, and global end users.
In the past, deep-pocketed Fortune 500 enterprises relied on costly, complicated, private networking (typically MPLS) and optimization (typically WAN optimization) hardware to solve this problem. However, these legacy solutions weren't designed for our cloud, mobile, and social era, and the businesses relying on the legacy solutions are no longer happy with them.
Another related problem CIOs are facing is that in order to accelerate their public-facing web resources, such as corporate websites, customer portals, and mission-critical web applications, enterprises need to resort to CDNs or Dynamic Site Acceleration solutions. This piecemeal approach to enhanced networking creates unnecessary complexity without delivering the desired results.
"A 1-second delay in page load time equals 11% fewer page views, a 16% decrease in customer satisfaction, and 7% loss in conversions."
– Aberdeen Group
"Amazon's calculated that a page load slowdown of just one second could cost it $1.6 billion in sales each year. Google has calculated that by slowing its search results by just four tenths of a second they could lose 8 million searches per day—meaning they'd serve up many millions fewer online adverts."
– Fast Company
The State of the Enterprise WAN 2015
Mean bandwidth growth worldwide from 2014 to 2015
Global businesses with connectivity speeds lesser than or equal to 10Mbps
Sites worldwide enjoy very high-speed connections greater than 40Mbps
Aryaka ONE – One Network for
all of the Global Enterprise's Networking Needs
The hybrid WAN needs a radically different approach to application delivery, acceleration, and optimization, one purpose-built for our cloud, mobile, rich-media-heavy age.
Today's global businesses don't have time for the expensive, hardware-heavy complexity of legacy WAN Optimization and CDN solutions. To move at the speed of today's most agile businesses and to keep up with ever-shifting demand, the global enterprise needs a business-class, on-demand networking solution that is easy to deploy, simple to manage, and completely reliable.
This is what Aryaka's One Network for the Global Enterprise was built to deliver.
Aryaka ONE is the world's first and only global, private, optimized, secure, and on-demand network, a single solution that addresses the unique needs of today's enterprise. Our WAN as-a-Service and CDN as-a-Service solutions leverage the intelligence of the Aryaka ONE network to deliver the service you need, packaged exactly as you want it.
The entire globalized enterprise – from HQ to branch offices to remote and mobile employees – needs reliable, consistent, and secure connections to mission-critical, cloud-based, and even legacy apps.

You're romanticising "flowing freely" from a biased heterosexist perspective. The truth remains that two men (or women) who were in love were not able to get married, in whichever culture from whichever era of yore, regardless of whether sex between the same sexes was not greatly frowned upon in those cultures or not. That is only a possibility now.
There was a whole different construct back in the day, it was unspoken and unexamined, not nonexistent.
Here's a bit about the ancient Greek culture upheld as a typical example of a supposedly liberal culture that allowed homosexuality:
Given the importance in Greek society of cultivating the masculinity of the adult male and the perceived feminizing effect of being the passive partner, relations between adult men of comparable social status were considered highly problematic, and usually associated with social stigma. This stigma, however, was reserved for only the passive partner in the relationship. According to contemporary opinion, Greek males who engaged in passive homosexuality after reaching the age of manhood - at which point they were the expected to take the reverse role in pederastic relationships and become the active and dominant member - thereby were feminized or "made a woman" of themselves. There is ample evidence in the theater of Aristophanes that derides these passive homosexuals and gives a glimpse of the type of biting social opprobrium and shame ("atimia") heaped upon them by their society.
A single flow'r he sent me, since we met./All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet - One perfect rose.
I knew the language of the floweret;/'My fragile leaves,' it said, 'his heart enclose.'
Love long has taken for his amulet/One perfect rose.
Why is it no one ever sent me yet/One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get/One perfect rose.

come on, i thought it was high enough quality for finally finished. Arts subjective!
March 14th, 2007 #3
is that Kevin Zorbo from the tv series? needs a bit more work in the colouring department, the pants are the only real thing i find interesting so far. maybe it needs more contrast between the colours and the Minotaut looks slightly like a dog with horns. The anatomy of Zorbo is not that bad, keep working on this one, it is a cool concept, i always enjoy mythology
March 14th, 2007 #4
Watch your edges. Almost all the edge work is super crisp and sharp and it's making it look like the characters were cut and pasted into the scene rather than belonging in it. Heck, there is still a white outline around the Minotaurs left hoof and leg. Try and create a bit more depth here, you've got an extreme perspective on the minotaur, but it looks like it (and Hercules and the environment too) are all on the same plane together.
March 14th, 2007 #5
I would suggest checking your light source ( is it coming from the upper right or left? ) The shadow cast by the foot and the shadow cast by the rock are not on the same line and angle. I would also make the tone darker as you move along the minotaur's body. Judging from the light on the right, i would asume that the light source is coming from the upper right. I would therefore add some highlights on the contours of the right arm and hands (the minotaur's left), and some dark tones where the light cannot reach, which you have done to an extent. You need to make the figures reactive to the environment, and clean the edges a bit. This is a good piece, well done!


text: The Justice Department has given the go-ahead to a very interesting transaction between Verizon Wireless and the cable companies, with certain conditions. The government's review followed the template ITIF suggested in the comments we filed with the FCC in February, where the spectrum transaction and the other arrangements were evaluated separately. While the FCC is tasked with reviewing the spectrum transaction, the commercial arrangement was examined by Justice. Commentary by left interest groups focuses on the resale agreements between Verizon Wireless and the cable companies and ignores the much more interesting joint venture to develop intellectual property. So what we have here is a very thorough analysis by the Justice Department that comes to a very sound conclusion and a lot of poorly-reasoned objections from groups that aren't even willing to admit that broadband in the United States is moving in the right direction.

First Solar sees slight recovery in Italy: exec
MUNICH (Reuters) – First Solar, the world's largest solar company by market value, added its voice on Wednesday to those pointing to a slight recovery in Italy, the industry's second-largest market.
"Demand has picked up spottily, but it has picked up from zero," TK Kallenbach, president of First Solar's components business, told a press conference at Intersolar, the world's largest solar trade show.
SMA Solar fights to defend market share, margins
KASSEL, Germany, May 26 (Reuters) – SMA Solar (S92G.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the
world's largest maker of solar inverters, is gearing up for a
tough defence of its 20 percent-plus profit margins and leading
market share as competition intensifies in the lucrative sector.
"We are looking very, very closely at our competition and
don't get me wrong — we're fighting for our customers every
day," incoming Chief Executive Pierre-Pascal Urbon told the
company's annual shareholders' meeting on Thursday.
SMA Solar: safe bet or hot potato?

FRANKFURT, May 13 (Reuters) – SMA Solar (S92G.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the
world's No.1 solar inverter maker, posted better-than-expected
first-quarter results and kept its outlook for 2011, banking on
a pickup in demand in the second half of the year.
"Since the beginning of the second quarter, demand for our
products has increased slightly," the company said adding it
still expected a margin for 2011 earnings before interest and
tax (EBIT) of 21 to 25 percent, down from 27.4 percent in 2010.
Subsidy cuts overshadow Germany's Phoenix, Nordex
FRANKFURT, May 11 (Reuters) – Two of Germany's biggest
renewable companies posted mostly weaker than expected earnings,
eroded by falling government support and pricing pressure that
has clouded the sector's push following Japan's nuclear crisis.
German solar wholesaler Phoenix Solar (PS4G.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) posted a
wider than expected operating loss of 16.9 million euros ($23.61
million) for the first quarter, and joined peers in warning of a
tough remainder of the year due to lower solar power subsidies.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Strong market swings have led to rising investor demand for index products linked to volatility, according to the chairman of the index committee at McGraw-Hill's Standard & Poor's.
"The strongest need for new indexes can be observed with regard to volatility-related (products)," David Blitzer told Reuters in an interview at Inside ETFs Europe, the continent's biggest ETF conference, adding that demand in the U.S. market was bigger than in Europe.
Total's SunPower bid adds shine to solar M&A
FRANKFURT, April 29 (Reuters) – French energy major Total
SA's (TOTF.PA: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) landmark $1.37 billion offer for a majority stake
in U.S. company SunPower (SPWRA.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) gave fresh impetus to hopes

Total's move is one of the biggest ever by an oil and gas
giant into the market for renewable energy, which has seen a
resurgence of interest following the nuclear crisis at Japan's
Fukushima power plant caused by last month's earthquake.

Estimated new cases and deaths from gallbladder (and other biliary) cancer in the United States in 2015: [1]
Cancer that arises in the gallbladder is uncommon.
The most common symptoms caused by gallbladder cancer are jaundice, pain, and fever.
In patients whose superficial cancer (T1 or confined to the mucosa) is discovered on pathological examination of tissue after gallbladder removal for other reasons, the disease is often cured without further therapy. In patients who present with symptoms, the tumor is rarely diagnosed preoperatively. [2] In such cases, the tumor often cannot be removed completely by surgery and the patient cannot be cured, though palliative measures may be beneficial. For patients with T2 or greater disease, extended resection with partial hepatectomy and portal node dissection may be an option. [3] [4]
Cholelithiasis is an associated finding in the majority of cases, but less than 1% of patients with cholelithiasis develop this cancer.
Some histologic types of gallbladder cancer have a better prognosis than others; papillary carcinomas have the best prognosis. The histologic types of gallbladder cancer include the following: [1]
*Grade 4 by definition.
The American Joint Committee on Cancer has designated staging by the TNM classification to define gallbladder cancer. [1]
|Primary tumor cannot be assessed.
|No evidence of primary tumor.
|Carcinoma in situ.
|Tumor invades lamina propria or muscular layer.
|Tumor invades lamina propria.
|Tumor invades muscular layer.
|Tumor invades perimuscular connective tissue; no extension beyond serosa or into liver.
|Tumor perforates the serosa (visceral peritoneum) and/or directly invades the liver and/or one other adjacent organ or structure, such as the stomach, duodenum, colon, pancreas, omentum, or extrahepatic bile ducts.
|Tumor invades main portal vein or hepatic artery or invades at least two extrahepatic organs or structures.

Localized (Stage I)
These types of patients have cancer confined to the gallbladder wall that can be completely resected. They represent a minority of cases of gallbladder cancer. Patients with cancers confined to the mucosa have 5-year survival rates of nearly 100%. [2] Patients with muscular invasion or beyond have a survival of less than 15%. Regional lymphatics and lymph nodes should be removed along with the gallbladder in such patients.
Unresectable (Stage II–IV)
With the exception of some patients with focal stage IIA disease, these types of patients have cancer that cannot be completely resected. They represent the majority of cases of gallbladder cancer. Often the cancer invades directly into adjacent liver or biliary lymph nodes or has disseminated throughout the peritoneal cavity. Spread to distant parts of the body is not uncommon. At this stage, standard therapy is directed at palliation. Because of its rarity, no specific clinical trials exist; however, such patients can be included in trials aimed at improving local control by combining radiation therapy with radiosensitizer drugs.
When gallbladder cancer is previously unsuspected and is discovered in the mucosa of the gallbladder at pathologic examination, it is curable in more than 80% of cases. Gallbladder cancer suspected before surgery because of symptoms, however, usually penetrates the muscularis and serosa and is curable in fewer than 5% of patients.
One study reported on patterns of lymph node spread from gallbladder cancer and outcomes of patients with metastases to lymph nodes in 111 consecutive surgical patients in a single institution from 1981 to 1995. [1][Level of evidence: 3iiiA] The standard surgical procedure was removal of the gallbladder, a wedge resection of the liver, resection of the extrahepatic bile duct, and resection of the regional (N1 and N2) lymph nodes. Kaplan-Meier estimates of the 5-year survival for node negative tumors pathologically staged as T2 to T4 were 42.5% ± 6.5% and for similar node positive tumors, 31% ± 6.2%.
Standard treatment options:
Implantation of the carcinoma at all port sites (including the camera site) after laparoscopic removal of an unsuspected cancer is a problem. Even for stage I cancers, the port sites must be excised completely. [6]
Treatment options under clinical evaluation:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with localized gallbladder cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
These patients are not curable. Significant symptomatic benefit can often be achieved with relief of biliary obstruction. A few patients have very slow-growing tumors and may live several years. Patients with unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic gallbladder cancer should be considered for inclusion in clinical trials whenever possible. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Treatment options:
Palliative radiation therapy after biliary drainage may be beneficial, and patients may be candidates for inclusion in clinical trials that explore ways to improve the effects of radiation therapy with various radiation sensitizers such as hyperthermia, radiosensitizer drugs, or cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents.
A randomized, phase III study of up to 6 months of gemcitabine versus gemcitabine and cisplatin in 410 patients with unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic gallbladder cancer demonstrated an improvement in median overall survival (OS) among patients treated with combination therapy (11.7 months vs. 8.1 months; HR, 0.64; [95% confidence interval, 0.52–0.80], P < .001). [2][Level of evidence: 1iiA] A similar median OS benefit was demonstrated in all subgroups, including 149 patients with gallbladder cancer. Grade 3 and 4 toxicities occurred with similar frequency in both study arms, with the exception of increased hematologic toxic effects in patients randomly assigned to gemcitabine-cisplatin and increased hepatotoxicity in patients randomly assigned to single-agent gemcitabine.
A multi-institutional, randomized, phase III study (NCT01149122) of advanced biliary cancers that evaluated the benefit of chemotherapy (gemcitabine and oxaliplatin) with or without erlotinib failed to meet its endpoint of improvement in OS and progression-free survival. [3][Level of evidence: 1iiD]
Other drugs and drug combinations await evaluation in randomized trials.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with unresectable gallbladder cancer, recurrent gallbladder cancer and metastatic gallbladder cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

In the short history of Internet disintermediation and disruption of the traditional news business, we've heard endless debate of the "the content and the container," as people have tried to peel back the difference between the physical form of the newspaper — its container — and what it had in it. It's a been a tough mindset change, and the many disruptors of the world — the Googles, the Newsers, and the Huffington Posts, for instance — have expertly picked apart the confusions and the potentials new technologies have made possible.
