Defense officials, feeling the pressure of continual financial and organizational transformations, are reaching out to the private sector for help in studying the ways the department can adjust to the new realities.
The Defense Department's directorate for organizational and management planning is looking for support and assistance in its role in studying and analyzing all different types of management, including program and knowledge management, according to a solicitation released initially Aug. 10.
The directorate wants help as it develops procedures and information products and tools for tracking and implementing strategic-level actions for the Office of Secretary of Defense or DOD overall. It also wants support in figuring out how to manage activities related to leaders' deliberations, decision-making, and office processes using effective IT tools.
The directorate plays a key role in implementing changes to missions and roles of organizations across DOD. It's an adviser on organizational, management and administration matters for the heads of DOD components, commanders of Combatant Commands, the secretary and deputy secretary of defense, and others.
In a time when sequestration is only months away and the government is searching relentlessly for savings in all nooks and crannies, officials are wrestling with reforms from the executive and legislative branches, as well as departmental leadership and their direction. To make the reforms realities, the directorate's staff has to figure out how to best put them into action. Its leaders plan to award a five-year, $60 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract through the new solicitation.
"The Department of Defense is in a state of constant and perpetual change," officials wrote. "It is essential that the DOD have the resources and the means to meet the threats and challenges of a rapidly changing future."
So far, the reforms have affected the missions and responsibilities of the DOD, as well as its attempts to become more efficient. In addition, officials have had to increase the attention given to decisions about allocating resources, joint processes, and enterprise-level governance. They have even had to realign how they manage their operations and measure performance, according to the solicitation.
The directorate is focusing on organizational management "honest broker" analysis for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and department-wide. It's working on a range of issues, such as supporting the secretary's priorities and total force manpower management.

VBAC Summit
Project Motherpath, Inc.
Saturday, September 28, 2013 at 9:00 AM - Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 6:00 PM (EDT)
South Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties) has some of the highest c-section rates in the country. Here, in the climate that gave birth to the VBAC Summit, it cannot be denied that cesareans, both primary and repeat, are reaching epidemic proportions.
Compounding the increasing rate of c-sections here and elsewhere are actual and de facto bans on mothers attempting a VBAC, which... limit, and often completely eliminate, the opportunity for vaginal birth for no reason other than a prior cesarean. In it's third year, the VBAC Summit aims to provide childbearing women and health care professionals with access to educational information and support for vaginal birth after cesarean as well as resources for cesarean prevention.
Our speakers and program lineup are listed on our website - www.vbacsummit.org!
Project Motherpath (formerly BirthGirlz) is a non profit organization working to normalize and revalue all aspects of motherhood through education, outreach, community building and activism.
We think that the hard, worthwhile, messy, ordinary work that mothers are doing every day, in every city, town, and village around the world is extraordinary, noteworthy and wildly overlooked and undervalued. We believe that how we birth and raise our daughters and our sons has an impact on our sense of ourselves across time and culture as well as how society views motherhood and mothering. At Project Motherpath we are interested in the stories, experiences and challenges of women navigating the journey of motherhood. We value both the individuality and diversity of women and recognize that each woman's experience of pregnancy, labor and birth is her's alone. As such we affirm that women and their families have the right to determine the standard of care they receive.
Our goal is to empower women and families to create their own network of resources and to make informed decisions. Our programs provide quality care, education and support fostering independence and respectfully guiding women and their families through the process of pregnancy, birth and early parenting.

Etching - Key to the Nuttall Painting, Framed, circa 1902 Reg. No: SH 961776
- Summary:
- Black & white print of a key to Charles Nuttall's painting of the Opening of the first Federal Parliament of Australian in the Exhibition Building, Carlton, in 1901.
Numerous prints were produced of the painting, both in Paris by Goupil et Cie and in London, as well as a key to enable viewers to better identify the 344 recognisable figures in the painting. Writing in February 1902, after Nuttall had already been at work on the painting for several months, the Adelaide Register described the work, noting:
'The painting is 12ft by 5 ft., and it is expected that it will be finished in about four months' time. The Federal Government will purchase the picture which it is completed. Before it reaches its destination, however, it is to be sent to France for reproductive purposes. The celebrated firm of Goupil will reproduce it by means of the photogravure process. These plates will be 40in. by 20in. A key drawing will be issued with the photogravure, which will be a valuable record of a memorable historic event.'
For many years, this key hung next to the original Charles Nuttall painting in the Boardroom of the Royal Exhibition Building. It was framed by The Frame Shop, Fairfield, Victoria.
- Description:
- Black and white etched outline of the painting by Charles Nuttall of the opening of the first Federal Parliament, May 1901, together with a numbered key identifying 343 people who attended the event within the Exhibition Building. The key has been printed onto cardboard and has been framed with archival paper and non-reflective glass.
- Acquisition Information:
- Transfer from Trustees of the Royal Exhibition Building (REB), 1991

If you want Weber, Pietroangelo ect, you're gonna need to add to one of the "FAB 4"
That is what I am saying if I am giving up one of the FAB 4 those are the dmen I want, Karlsson is a good dman but signed to 6.5mil; yes he had a really good offensive year but what are the chances that he does it again, if I am giving up one of the FAB 4 I want a dman that is a bit more proven that is all I mean. How many players have you seen have one good year get the really good contract and then never perform to that level again. That is what I am worried about with Karlsson. Even Souray got 16 goals in one year.

Masimo Founder and CEO, Joe E. Kiani, stated, "We are proud of our relationship with Children's Hospital Oakland. Children's was one of the first children's hospitals to convert to Masimo SET years ago and, with a history of leadership in the practice of neonatal and pediatric care, they are continuing to lead new efforts to transform pediatric patient care with their conversion to Masimo Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry. We are delighted that they have chosen to significantly impact the care and treatment of children and advance the practice of medicine using our noninvasive and continuous Rainbow platform."
Masimo Rainbow SpHb is transforming the way patients are managed in the operating room, intensive care unit and emergency department, where clinicians are reporting earlier identification of necessary blood transfusions, reduction in unnecessary transfusions and invasive tests, increased patient safety, and improved clinical outcomes.
Amit Gupta, M.D., pediatric anesthesiologist at Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland, stated, "Preserving safe hemoglobin levels are always a particular concern for pediatric patients who already have very little hemoglobin to spare. With Masimo Rainbow SET in the peri-operative setting we can noninvasively detect internal bleeding, fluid responsiveness, oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and perfusion--all in a matter of seconds. Having this level of physiological detail immediately available at our fingertips is a tremendous benefit that helps to speed patient assessment, treatment, care, and the safe return to optimal health."

CHITTENDEN — Racing in spring-like conditions on March 16, 17 and 18, six local athletes — all members of Ripton's Frost Mountain Nordic Ski Club — helped their Vermont team win the Eastern High School Championships against the rest of the New England states and New York.
Competing for Vermont were Bristol's Alia Johnson, Ripton's Britta Clark and Lydia Allen, Middlebury's Dominique Powers, and Cornwall's Mac Groves and Will Conlon.
VERGENNES — Prompted by a citizen question, Vergennes aldermen on Tuesday discussed whether to continue to allow a large Christian nativity scene to be displayed on the city green during the weeks leading up to Christmas.
MIDDLEBURY — The next stop for the one-vote Town Meeting Day election win posted by Vergennes challenger Susan Ferland over incumbent Vergennes Union Elementary School board director Cheryl Brinkman was set to be in a Thursday morning hearing in Addison County Superior Court.
On March 6, Ferland, a former Addison Central School teacher, edged Brinkman, a VUES board chairwoman and Addison Northwest Supervisory Union board member, 329-328, in a race for a seat on the VUES board.

MIDDLEBURY — A Starksboro man was sentenced in Addison County District Court on Monday to 100 hours in jail, three years of probation and court costs after pleading guilty to a fifth drunk-driving offense and to reckless endangerment for driving while under the influence of alcohol with his 7-year-old son in his vehicle.
Judge Helen M. Toor also imposed alcohol-related conditions on Ruby Brace Road resident Marland Brewer, 46, and imposed court costs on him. Toor ordered Brewer to start serving his jail time on March 29 at the Marble Valley Correctional Facility.
BARRE — After watching the No. 2 Hartford Hurricanes knock off her top-seeded Mount Abraham Union High School girls' basketball team in Saturday's Division II final, 48-35, in the Barre Auditorium, Eagle Coach Connie LaRose summed up her impression of the winners.
"They are big. They are tough," she said.
Led by six-foot-one-inch senior center Sara Illingworth's 13 points and 17 rebounds, the 19-5 Hurricanes — with three other starters listed at five-foot-ten — had just outrebounded the Eagles by 46-23.
FERRISBURGH — More than a decade after Rokeby Museum officials first envisioned the concept, workers have broken ground there on a visitors' center that will house an exhibit on the Ferrisburgh historic site's pivotal roles in the Underground Railroad and anti-slavery movement.
If the weather continues to cooperate with general contractor Naylor & Breen Builders if Brandon, the roughly $1.4 million Rokeby Museum Underground Railroad Education Center will be finished by August.
MIDDLEBURY — A Bridport man at a Monday hearing in Addison District Court was sentenced by Judge Helen Toor to six months of house arrest for lewd and lascivious conduct with a child in May 2009.
That six-month sentence given to Jason Ethier, 29, was part of a three-to-15-year suspended sentence agreed to in a plea deal between Ethier's attorney and state prosecutors for an offense involving a Bristol girl who was 14 at the time.
BARRE — For the second straight year and the third time in six seasons, the Mount Abraham Union High School girls' basketball team is going to the Division II final at the Barre Auditorium.
The top-seeded, 19-3 Eagles earned that berth in a Monday night semifinal by outscoring No. 5 Lyndon in a dramatic fourth quarter, 19-16, in a 47-42 victory.
MIDDLEBURY — Last Saturday afternoon's Vermont Chili Festival proved to be the most popular in the four-year history of the annual event, drawing a crowd that organizers estimated to be as large as 5,000 to downtown Middlebury.
MIDDLEBURY — Business looks promising for a prominent Middlebury employer, Connor Homes, which specializes in crafting colonial reproduction kit homes at its Route 7 plant that was once the home of Standard Register.
Connor Homes owner Mike Connor said deposits for his company's high-end homes are running about 50 percent ahead of 2011, leaving him "cautiously optimistic" the trend is ready to turn back upward after several years of recession in the housing market.

FOLLOWING the collapse of footballer Fabrice Muamba on live television on 17 March, a debate has emerged about how often athletes should be screened for heart abnormalities.
As New Scientist went to press, the 23-year-old Bolton Wanderers player remained in a serious condition but could breathe independently and respond to questions. This is despite first-aid providers having to keep his heart beating artificially for 2 hours.
The dilemma in using screening to pre-empt cases like Muamba's is that heart abnormalities that cause sudden death in young people are extremely rare, affecting 1 in 50,000 people. "We'd have to screen several thousand athletes to identify just one or two at risk," says Sanjay Sharma, a cardiologist at St George's Hospital in London. However, if the condition is present, he says intense exercise can treble the risk of death.
Sharma says that the English Premier League screens for such problems, and Muamba himself has reportedly been screened four times. "I'm keen to see that scan," says Sharma, who suspects it might yield missed clues to his condition.
Perhaps the UK should look to Italy, where all athletes - professional and amateur - have been required by law since 1982 to be screened every year for heart abnormalities. Their rate of sudden death declined by 89 per cent in athletes between 1979 and 2004 compared with no change in the general population. "Their death rates are the lowest in the world," says Sharma.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Parra changes number
Phoenix - Everyone knows baseball players are the superstitious type.
Add left-hander Manny Parra to that list as well.
Parra, one of of the Brewers' top prospects entering last season, was the quiet type all of 2008 and didn't make any waves (there was that whole Prince Fielder shoving him in the dugout incident, but other than that everything was cool). So he had no problem wearing No. 43 on his uniform as long as he had a place in the big-league clubhouse.
Now an established starter on the staff, however, Parra made a number change to No. 26.
Last season Hernan Iribarren wore the number, but Parra asked if there was any sentimental value to the digits and Iribarren said there wasn't, so Parra took it over.
He wore 26 in high school and through some minor league teams. He was drafted in the 26th round and signed on the 26th day of the month. Also, he is currently 26 years old. Go figure.

Option "CustomEDID" "string"
This option forces the X driver to use the EDID specified in a file rather than the display's EDID. You may specify a semicolon separated list of display names and filename pairs. The display name is any of "CRT-0", "CRT-1", "DFP-0", "DFP-1", "TV-0", "TV-1", or one of the generic names "CRT", "DFP", "TV", which apply the EDID to all devices of the specified type. The file contains a raw EDID (e.g., a file generated by nvidia-settings).
For example:
Option "CustomEDID" "CRT-0:/tmp/edid1.bin; DFP-0:/tmp/edid2.bin"
will assign the EDID from the file /tmp/edid1.bin to the display device CRT-0, and the EDID from the file /tmp/edid2.bin to the display device DFP-0. Note that a display device name must always be specified even if only one EDID is specified.
Caution: Specifying an EDID that doesn't exactly match your display may damage your hardware, as it allows the driver to specify timings beyond the capabilities of your display. Use with care.

Kailyn Lowry Reveals New Half-Sleeve Tattoo — Love It or Leave It? (PHOTO)
Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry loves herself a good ol' fashioned tattoo. Join the club, right guys? This blonde bombshell already has her fair share of ink, but she's boldly going where no Teen Mom has gone before: to the magical land of half-sleeves.
Kailyn's been gearing up for her half sleeve for a while now — in fact, she plans to ink up both arms in time for her wedding to Javi Marroquin. "I'll have both half sleeves & proud in my wedding dress," she tweeted back in May.
Kailyn got the first half of her half-sleeve completed this past weekend at Sick Ink Studios, and from what we can tell it's pirate themed. We're seeing roses, chains, what looks like a skull, some vines for good measure, and a ship's wheel! A slightly unusual theme, but it looks great and matches Kailyn's mermaid tattoo.
As you might expect, Kailyn has a few anti-ink haters, but she's doing her best to ignore them. "I love when people think I want/need their approval to do something," she tweeted on December 16.
Do you like Kailyn's new tattoo? Hit the poll!

CourtTV, which is in the middle of changing its name to truTV, has laid 16 of the 31 people on its online staff as the network shifts its online trial coverage to CNN.com, reports TVWeek. CNN will be replacing its CNN.com/law site with CNN.com/crime. The new site will pick up trial coverage and will be managed by CNN.com staff in Atlanta.
Staci adds: I've confirmed that CNN.com has no plans to add staff to manage the extra coverage, set to begin Jan. 1. In addition to the online trial coverage, CNN.com inherits CourtTV's crime library. The new section also will have the in-depth reporting on the Justice Department. (We can only hope they rethink changing the name of the section from CNN.com/law to CNN.com/crime.) Meanwhile, a statement from truTV sheds little light about their plans for the new truTV.com, other than using video to match their programming.

What is Samba? Samba is one of the most popular forms of music in Brazil. It is widely viewed as Brazil's national musical style. Samba developed as a distinctive kind of music at the beginning of the 20th century. It began in Rio de Janeiro as a result of the strong influence from immigrant black people from the Brazilian state of Bahia. The rhythm comes from the Brazilian slave owners who allowed their slaves to continue their heritage of playing drums (unlike U.S. slave owners who feared use of the drum for communications).

[Ubuntu] nVidia driver 1.0.8762 and black screen

Re: [Ubuntu] nVidia driver 1.0.8762 and black screen -similar here any drvr othr GPU?
Hi, Manthis.
I've a similar problem - was about to open a new thread, but first I'll wait whether any response may come here. Here's my description:
Setup: one or two ASUS 7600GT PCI-E in P5N-SLI Deluxe board.
Drivers: Linux 8762 and many drivers before, XFree86 or X11 *or*
Windows 2000 and all recent drivers there as well.
In Linux, most often, system boot up to X11 ends in black screen, but system is running, and monitor says it synced in target resolution. Very often, switching from virtual text console to graph screen does the same. In Linux, I can get display by either using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill X11 and restart it, or by switching to/from text console multiple times.
In Windows, system boot often ends in black screen when hires graphic login screen should appear. Though the system runs well, behind the black screen here too, as there's no such convenient switch to text and back, most often I need to reboot until I finally get a *visible* screen. Only alternative worked sometimes was standby->restore.
Motherboard has newest BIOS (same behaviour with 2 BIOS generations before). No error messages in log files - everything as if all would work normal, only a bit of visible colour missing from display.
The problem occurs in about 4 of 5 graphic display activations (i.e., I need 1 (rare) to maybe 4 (often) to maybe 10 (rare) tries before the display is visible. Then, it stays stable until the next text screen and back - which is extremely annoying in Windows (no reliable method of initializing graphics display without reboot).
Nvidia, when asked directly, couldn't provide any insight, and Asus said, they wouldn't know about such a problem. Asus also say they don't have newer GPU Bios, although I saw one newer 7600 GT BIOS in the WWW (not tested yet).
Manthis, does it happen to you only on the 8762 driver? And only in Linux? Then it's definitely not the same...

Peter Beagrie
Football League Expert & Columnist
Peter's dream team
Some controversial choices make Peter Beagrie's Championship XI for the 2008/09 season.
Last Updated: 09/06/09 1:08pm
Once again we've enjoyed a fantastic season in the Championship with some superb players on show. I've been asked to choose my Championship XI and it's been no easy task, I can tell you.
There have been some outstanding performances this season. There have been some brilliant displays from players in teams that haven't done so well but, as you can expect, the majority of my XI come from teams that have made the play-offs and promotion places.
In terms of the formation I have gone for a 4-4-2 system. I would have liked to have selected a team to play 4-5-1, because there have been some superb midfielders in the Championship this season, but in the end I had to choose a formation that would allow me to include two fantastic strikers that have really impressed me this year.
So here it is, my dream XI from the 2008/09 Championship season:
Manager: Owen Coyle (Burnley)
Owen Coyle has been operating with the smallest squad in the division and one of the smallest budgets. He has used just 23 players this year, which speaks volumes for not only the training methods and man-management skills he has used to keep them ticking over at the right time, but also his ability to manage little niggles and injuries which are inevitable when your side has played over 60 games. Only Manchester United have played more and the Burnley players have become a really close-knit bunch who enjoy coming into work every day - that's down to the manager.
You also judge managers by their signings and he has made some really astute purchases. The big money buy was Martin Paterson from Scunthorpe United for more than £1million. He got goals for Scunthorpe, Coyle took a chance, and Paterson has done it again. A really good signing.
Goalkeeper: Maik Taylor (Birmingham City)
I've seen Maik Taylor on several occasions this season and every time he has been tremendous. When you look at Birmingham's run to promotion you can't fail to notice they recorded about ten 1-0 wins. In each of those games there were pivotal moments when they could have been pegged back and he has saved them. He has been worth at least 21 points for Birmingham this season.
Several other keepers were up there in contention for this place - for example, the Preston stopper Andrew Lonergan, he has been tremendous in their high-pressure run-in. However, I had to go for the experienced Taylor.
I think they'll stick with him next year. He has been in the Premier League before, his decision making is very good and I think he has been great this year. Defensively Birmingham have been terrific and he has been a massive part of that. It's one thing keeping the ball out of the net but he's organising and talking to his defence all the time and they have obviously got confidence in him.
Left Back: Danny Fox (Coventry City)
It has been a very disappointing season for Coventry but Daniel Fox has been an absolute star. He has wonderful distribution skills and is fantastic in dead-ball situations. I remember when Iain Dowie signed him from Walsall and he said 'this kid is fantastic'. He got him for about £250, 000 and that is a great buy because I can certainly see him moving onwards and upwards into the Premier League.
Dowie got the sack shortly after he signed him so Chris Coleman has been the one reaping the rewards. He has been the stand-out performer for Coventry in what has largely been a disappointing season.
Right Back: Kevin Foley (Wolves)
Kevin Foley, AKA, Mr Reliable. Foley is a tremendous performer and every week we put an 8/10 by his name. Mick McCarthy speaks very highly of him and it's not hard to see why. He's very dependable and the rest of the Wolves defence and the midfield in front of him know they can rely on him to perform week-in, week-out. He is one of about five or six Wolves players who you can say will definitely have a decent season in the Premier League next season.
Centre Back: Matt Kilgallon (Sheffield United)
Matt Kilgallon has benefited immensely from having a season next to the 'Iron Man' Chris Morgan. He's matured massively over the past eight months, he's got blinding pace and his positional sense is far better this year than it has been.
He really has been outstanding for Sheffield United since that move he got from Leeds. He cost the Blades about £1.75million but he seems to be well worth the money. He's had an incredible year and they will be hoping he can hold off the threat of the Burnley forwards so they can end the season on a real high.
Centre Back: Sean St Ledger (Preston North End)
Sean St Ledger is clearly an inspirational captain for North End. He has also come up with some very important goals as they sneaked into the play-offs. He's a better footballer than people give him credit for and, as far as centre-halves are concerned, you won't find many with better distribution skills than him.
He has been a tower of strength in an unforgettable season for Preston. They can't be disappointed on missing out on a Wembley spot because they've been outstanding. In similar fashion to Burnley they have only used 25 players, but in a small squad Sean has been a revelation. I'm sure after such a good season he will be happy to stay at Preston and give it one more crack at making the Premier League with them before looking for a move to a bigger side, which he is capable of doing.
Left Wing: Robbie Blake (Burnley)
Robbie Blake has been outstanding this season. He's playing in my old position on the left wing. I played with him at Bradford and he reminds me a bit of myself. He's two-footed, not blessed with blinding pace but has a bit of balance. Particularly in the last 10 games of the season when Burnley were under lots of pressure he was desperate to get on the ball and make things happen. He has played 59 games this season - one of the most appearances in the division and has been superb throughout the year.
He's also scored some very important goals for them this year including a few in their FA Cup and Carling Cup runs earlier in the season. When he went to Birmingham he struggled and people said he couldn't make it in the Premier League but he proved in those cup ties that he could. When they beat West Bromwich Albion, Fulham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham he was tremendous and proved he had no problem handling that company.
Right Wing: Michael Kightly (Wolves)
I'm a big fan of this boy. He has got a tremendous amount of confidence in his own ability and has got pace, guile and is also a goal threat. He had a couple of niggly injuries during the season and Wolves really missed him when he was out. He took them to a different level as far as attacking options are concerned.
I just think he has got more to his game than your average winger. A lot of players are just known for their pace and crossing ability but he can drift in from the flank, play off the front man, his head is always up, he plays one-twos off the centre forward and he can pick a pass out as well. Sometimes wide men drift out of games if their team aren't dominating the midfield - Kightly will have a wander, drift inside and looks to pick up the ball from the opposition centre half if his striker isn't winning headers.Invariably, a lot of Wolves' good moves come from Kightly. He's a very good, intelligent footballer.
Centre Midfield: Lee Carsley (Birmingham City)
Without a doubt Lee Carsley is the best free signing of the season. He was a very astute signing by Alex McLeish. He knew exactly what he would get with him - he is a leader on the pitch.
He let himself down with his sending off later in the season but until that point he had been the organiser, making sure Birmingham were a really solid unit. He was not just a destroyer, though. He can create as well. But he will be very important for the Blues next season in the Premier League. He will have to pick people up during the course of games.
He had one other rival for that position - Graham Alexander at Burnley has had an incredible season in the holding role in front of the Burnley defence but I've gone for Carsley. He has come back to Birmingham, he's Birmingham through and through and he has been rewarded with promotion back to the Premier League. He loves the club, he's from that area and he has flourished. His decision has been justified.
Centre Midfield: Wade Elliott (Burnley)
This was a difficult decision. Jordi Gomez at Swansea has had an incredible season for the Swans but the more I see of Wade Elliott the more he has swayed my decision.
I first saw him in the play-off finals for Bournemouth and actually played against him once. He's absolutely fantastic. He has quick feet, a quick footballing brain and he delivers the ball from the back to the front. He uses the ball intelligently and rarely gives it away.
This decision might raise a few eyebrows but when I speak to people in the game they rate him really highly. He's not a massive star name but whenever I've seen him play he has always performed. He never goes missing, he always wants the ball and always uses it well.
He's not a strong, physical lad but his anticipation is so good he always gets to the ball first and rarely has to steam into tackles. He's been fantastic this year and I'm going to put him in there alongside Lee.
Centre Forward: Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (Wolves)
This is the first name on my team sheet. Sylvan has a frightening ability and self belief. He's a centre-forward who can not only finish off chances but can create something out of nothing. He can turn a game on its head.
It isn't just his ability and technique, his dribbling, his pace or his power, he also has an absolute love of the game, which you can see when he chases lost causes. He has been sensational this season and I can see him causing problems for defenders in the Premier League. There's no question about whether he will be able to adapt to the Premier League - the question is can Wolves get the ball to him in dangerous positions next season?
He is my Championship Player of the Year.
Centre Forward: Ross McCormack (Cardiff City)
Ross McCormack is the signing of the season. He cost about £120,000 from Motherwell and was a great spot by Dave Jones. He's seen him mature and score all kinds of goals this season. He has finished off with 24 goals and got his international caps and scored for his country. A fantastic season.
I think it is important he remains at the club next season. Cardiff have invested a lot of money in him, made an environment for him to flourish in and played him week-in, week-out. He owes Cardiff at least another season and that would benefit him as well. It is too soon in his development for him to go anywhere else.
I wouldn't even like to see him go to one of the bigger clubs in Scotland. Cardiff had a right go this year and just ran out of steam at the end but from a personal point of view Ross has had a tremendous season and I would like to see him give it another go next season, then he can have a look at his situation after that.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Walt Weiss and the Colorado Rockies like what they see from Troy Tulowitzki so far in spring training games. Tulowitzki, limited to 47 games last season after left groin surgery, had a two-run single and was involved in four flawless defensive plays during his three innings in the Rockies' 9-1 win over Texas on Monday. Along with a rare double play on which the two-time Gold Glove shortstop got an assist and a putout, there was a nifty play when he ran forward to pick up a slow roller and threw out speedy Rangers center fielder Craig Gentry at first base. "Every time he passes one of these tests, it's a peace of mind for us," said Weiss, the former Rockies infielder and their new manager. "He's in a really good place right now." Colorado starter Chris Volstad, who signed as a minor league free agent during the offseason, benefited from two of the Rockies' three double plays. He faced the minimum six batters in his two innings despite giving up a pair of...

Craft projects to make using Photo Papers
Photo Paper
Photographic paper is a paper coated with a light-sensitive chemical formula, used for making photographic prints. When photographic paper is exposed to light it captures a latent image that is then developed to form a visible image. The light-sensitive layer of the paper is called the emulsion.
The print image is traditionally produced by interposing a photographic negative between the light source and the paper, either by direct contact with a large negative or by projecting the shadow of the negative onto the paper. The initial light exposure is carefully controlled to produce a gray scale image on the paper with appropriate contrast and gradation. Photographic paper may also be exposed to light using digital printers such as the LightJet, with a camera, by scanning a modulated light source over the paper, or by placing objects upon it.
Despite the introduction of digital photography, photographic papers are still sold commercially. Photographic papers are manufactured in numerous standard sizes, paper weights and surface finishes. A range of emulsions are also available that differ in their light sensitivity, color response and the warmth of the final image. Color papers are also available for making color images.

We've seen those stories in recent weeks about air traffic controllers reportedly falling asleep on the job and, yes, I'm told, it happens.
I'm also told the overwhelming number of controllers who snooze have no intention of doing so. They fight it. But even those who do manage to stay awake sometimes do so just barely: Former air traffic controller Tom Anthony once made it through his shift only to drift off on the drive home and total his car.
But then, you too might fall asleep yourself, working "the rattler" (more on that later); so might I, so might anyone. At least, that's what three former air traffic controllers tell us here at FareCompare, and while their statements by no means represent any sort of scientific poll of the tens of thousands of men and women who guide our country's aircraft, the sheer common sense of what these three had to say seems pretty overwhelming. But you be the judge.
Here are some of their "confessions" about the tough job they have done as controllers, which may give another side to what some see as "lazy government employees" not doing the work they were paid to do.
For more travel news and insights, view Rick's blog at farecompare.com.
What's is it like to be an air traffic controller? According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics occupational handbook, "The mental stress of being responsible for the safety of several aircraft and their passengers can be exhausting." Indeed it can, especially when working the rattler.
Confession: Working the Rattler is Brutal
The so-called rattler is a compressed work week in which prep time, work time and recuperation time for five shifts is compressed into fewer days to maximize time off. When Tom Anthony, who is now director of the Aviation Safety and Security Program at the University of Southern California first ran into this as a young air traffic controller, he asked, "Does any responsible adult know we're doing this?"
With eight hours off between some shifts (and now it's been upped to nine), the fatigue factor builds up, particularly in the brutal overnight hours when there is little to do except stare at an empty screen, since few passenger planes take off or land in the wee hours.
ABC News reported on a fatigue study by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association that found that such shifts do not give controllers "time to adjust to any one set of waking and sleeping hours."
Says Bill Voss, a former air traffic controller who now heads the Flight Safety Foundation, "Your performance can degrade so it's as though you're legally drunk." You'll find information on his foundation's website to support this claim; also cited there is research from a NASA flight surgeon.
Confession: Eight or Nine Hours is Not Enough
Wait a minute, you may be thinking, even on these brutal shifts, controllers do get eight and now nine hours off, and you may also be thinking how rare it is that you get a full eight hours of sleep a night. Well, consider that in the space of that eight to nine hours off, air traffic controllers have to drive home (and drive back to work) and then once they're home, they no doubt check the mail, maybe chat with the family, grab a bite to eat, whatever. I mean, can you come home and jump right into bed? So that sleep time slips away.

Remember Omarosa from The Apprentice? She was considered the evil one, of course, the conniving bitch, but I met her when I did a segment on the first Apprentice and I found her intriguing. After the show was over, I invited her to my house for dinner. One of the things that struck me about her was that she really believed in her own sexiness. She wasn't waiting around for someone to tell her. And because of this, she could light up a room. My dog, a little Westie, leapt into her arms when she arrived and then sat in her lap for the rest of the night. I have never, ever seen him act like that with anyone else. As far as he was concerned, she was on fire.
So own your hotness rather than rent it. Instead of waiting around for anyone to anoint you, anoint yourself. I know that it's far easier said than done, but you can start by vowing to not bash any single part of your looks. If the words "I hate my . . ." take a single step across your brain, just stop them. You also need to consider what your best asset is and play it up to the max: if it's your legs, wear short skirts and great shoes; if it's your long, lustrous hair, pay to have it blown out every week. And most important, decide on a moxie mantra you can say to yourself every day and when you're in any kind of situation that makes you feel self-conscious. One reader once told me that she mentally recites the line from Almost Famous: "I am a Golden Goddess." And then there's always "I so own this room."

Path To Getting a Pathology Diagnosis
Skin samples taken by a biopsy or surgical excision are typically sent to a pathologist/pathology laboratory for microscopic examination and diagnosis. A pathology report is issued by the pathologist or dermatopathologist, (a pathologist who specializes in skin biopsies). The pathology report states the diagnosis and further describes many aspects of the appearance of the melanoma, including the type, depth of invasion, tissue level of invasion, presence or absence of a lymphatic response, presence or absence of ulceration, mitotic count, presence or absence of regression, presence or absence of satellite lesions, and presence or absence of blood vessel/lymphatic vessel/nerve invasion.
Additionally, the pathology report will describe whether the excised lesion is a primary melanoma, in which case it would be described using the terms above, or a metastatic melanoma deposit. A metastatic melanoma deposit is one in which the melanoma started somewhere else on the skin and some of the melanoma cells broke off and spread within the skin tissue to the current biopsy/specimen site.
Some Terms You May See on Your Pathology Report
Histologic subtype (the type of melanoma):
- Superficial spreading melanoma
- Nodular melanoma
- Acral lentiginous melanoma
- Lentigo melanoma
- Desmoplastic melanoma
- Other: mucosal melanoma
- Other: uveal melanoma
Breslow Depth: Measurement in millimeters of how thick the primary tumor is, regardless of its Clark Level. It is measured from the top layer of the skin to its deepest point.
Clark Level: A description of how deeply the primary tumor penetrates into the layers of the skin. Clark levels include I to V, (see layers below). Clark Level was replaced in the revised melanoma staging system in 2010 by more reliably predictive features (mitotic count and ulceration). It is now only used for non-ulcerated tumors
- Clark Level I-lesion involves the epidermis
- Clark Level II-lesion involves the papillary dermis
- Clark Level III-lesion invades and fills the papillary dermis
- Clark Level IV-lesion invades reticular dermis
- Clark Level V-lesion invades subcutaneous tissue
Depending upon where the melanoma is located on the body, the thickness of the skin can differ, thus, the same thickness of melanoma can have different levels depending upon a person's skin thickness and location on the body.
Radial Growth Phase (RGP): The melanoma lesion is described as either having RGP present or absent. If present, RGP indicates that the melanoma is growing horizontally, or radially, within a single plane in the upper/superficial skin layers (mainly in the epidermis).
Vertical Growth Phase (VGP): The melanoma is described as either having VGP present or absent. If present, VGP is an indication that the melanoma is growing vertically, or deeper, into the tissues.
Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs): TILs describe the patient's immune response to the melanoma. When the pathologist examines the melanoma under the microscope, he looks to see whether or not there are lymphocytes within the melanoma. The amount of lymphocyte invasion/response to the melanoma is described as brisk (a lot of lymphocytes), nonbrisk (some), sparse (few) or absent (none), although occasionally it can be described as mild or moderate. TILs appear to indicate that your immune system has recognized the melanoma cells as abnormal and is trying to move into the melanoma to attack it. Some studies suggest that the presence of increasing number of TILs may be associated with a better prognosis.
Ulceration: Ulceration is described as being present or absent. It is the breakdown or loss of the top layer of cells in a melanoma and often occurs in the center of a tumor. The presence of ulceration increases the stage classification of a melanoma. Ulceration is thought to reflect rapid tumor growth, leading to the death of cells in the center of the melanoma and thus is associated with a worse prognosis. The pathologist can determine whether ulceration is present or absent when they review the biopsy under the microscope.
Regression: Regression is described as an area of the tumor without active melanoma cell growth and is described as present or absent. If it is present, the extent of regression is estimated.. When regression is present, the measured thickness of the melanoma may not be the greatest/true thickness.
Mitotic Count (Mitotic Rate): Mitosis is the process by which one mature cell divides into two identical cells. When pathologists study a melanoma they will count the number of actively dividing cells that they see. Averaging this number gives the mitotic count and it is reported as the number of mitoses per square millimeter (mm2), (example ≤1 mitoses/mm2). A high mitotic count means more tumor cells are dividing at a given time, and is associated with a worse prognosis.
Satellites: Satellite lesions are small nodules of tumor/melanoma located more than 0.05 mm from the primary lesion, but less than 2 cm. Satellites are described as being present or absent. Satellite lesions can be seen on the pathology report (microscopic) as well as with the naked eye (macroscopic). Satellite lesions are associated with a worse prognosis.
Blood Vessel/Lymphatic Invasion: Blood vessel invasion, also called angioinvasion, or lymphatic vessel invasion, is described as being present or absent. If present, it means that the melanoma has invaded the blood or lymph system and is associated with more aggressively growing melanomas.
An Example of a Melanoma Pathology Report
This is an example of a pathology report for a melanoma diagnosis. The purpose of the report is to convey the specific findings of the melanoma that support the diagnosis and to give information about prognosis to the doctor so that she/he can advise the patient on the next recommended steps in workup and treatment.
Date of Biopsy: The date the biopsy was submitted
Submitting Service/Physician: Your doctor
Accession #: A number assigned to the biopsy specimen
Patient: Your name
Sex: Your gender
DOB: Your birthday
MRN: A medical record number
Clinical History: A description by your physician of the lesion that was biopsied. Usually a doctor will include size, location, and what he is concerned about. (Example: a 7-mm eroded pigmented papule from the left upper back. Please rule out an atypical melanocytic nevus vs. melanoma.)
Gross: A description of the actual size of the biopsied tissue and what it looked like to the naked eye. This is used by the pathologist for identification of the tissue. (Example: One container of formalin, labeled with the patient's name, and MRN, which contains a bisected skin shave, 5 mm depth x 12 mm diameter. The epidermis is wrinkled, pink-tan, with areas showing purple preoperative ink)
Diagnosis: A summary of the findings and a diagnosis. (Example: MALIGNANT MELANOMA, 2.4mm in thickness, ulceration not seen)
Description: A description of the appearance of the biopsy under the microscope. There are specific features that are typically commented upon. (Example: A shave of skin demonstrates epidermal ulceration overlying a collection of irregular melanocytes. There is pagetoid spread of melanocytes into the epidermis. Multiple bizarre nuclei are appreciated. There are nests of atypical melanocytes extending down into the dermis without normal maturation.)
Additional Features: In the case of melanoma, pathologists will specifically comment on features that are relevant for prognosis and treatment. These are sometimes included in the description but also may be in list form as shown below:
Diagnosis: Malignant Melanoma
Tumor site: Location on the body from which the biopsy was taken
Histologic type: Superficial spreading, nodular, lentigo maligna, acral lentiginous, desmoplastic or unclassified
Level of invasion (Clark Level): Describes how deeply the primary tumor has penetrated into the layers of the skin. Clark levels include I to V, with I being the most shallow in the epidermis and V the deepest, in the fatty tissue under the skin. Clark Level was replaced in the revised melanoma staging system in 2010 by more reliably predictive features (mitotic count and ulceration.) It is now only used for non-ulcerated tumors
Growth phase: Radial growth phase (present or absent) Vertical growth phase (present or absent). This describes whether the melanoma has begun an invasive pattern.
Greatest thickness: Also known as Breslow thickness, it describes in millimeters the thickest part of the melanoma. It is very important for prognosis. A thinner tumor has a better prognosis.
Mitotic count: Mitosis is the process by which one mature cell divides into two identical cells. The pathologist counts the number of actively dividing cells (mitoses) that they see. This is seen in many cancers, including melanoma. Averaging this number gives the mitotic count, which is stated as the number of mitoses per square millimeter (mm). Most often this count is reported as:
- Less than or equal to 1 per square millimeter
- Or the actual number is provided
A higher mitotic count means more tumor cells are dividing at a given time and is associated with a worse prognosis.
Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs): Lymphocytes are immune cells. Lymphocytes can be present in a melanoma and are described as "brisk," "nonbrisk," "sparse", and "absent." A brisk immune response has been associated with a better prognosis. However, the true significance of this criterion is still controversial, and some pathologists do not report it.
Regression: Refers to an area of the tumor without active melanoma cell growth and is thought to be evidence that some of the melanoma was destroyed by one's immune system. There are conflicting reports on whether this finding has useful prognostic significance. Historically, regression has been associated with a worse prognosis.
Ulceration: The breakdown or loss of the top layer of the skin (the epidermis.) The presence or absence of ulceration is determined by the pathologist when he reviews the specimen under the microscope. Having ulceration is associated with a worse prognosis. Patients who report bleeding from their melanoma often have ulceration in the biopsy.
Satellite lesions: Also called "local metastasis." They are small nodules of melanoma located more than 0.05mm from the primary lesion but less than 2cm. They are described as being present or absent. Satellite lesions can be seen on the pathology report (microscopic) as well as with the naked eye (macroscopic). Satellite lesions are associated with a worse prognosis.
Blood Vessel / Lymphatic invasion: Evidence that melanoma cells have entered the blood vessels or lymphatic system. The presence of this finding is associated with a worse prognosis.
Neural invasion: Evidence that melanoma cells are entering the local nerve fibers. The presence of this finding is associated with a worse prognosis.
Margins: Margins are the edge of a biopsy or surgical excision specimen. If melanoma extends to the edge of the sample (the margins), then it is presumed that the biopsy or excision did not remove the entire tumor. Deep margins are located at the base of the biopsy/specimen and lateral margins are the side edges of the biopsy/specimen. If there is no tumor extending to the margins, the pathologist will describe how close the lesion came to the edge. (Example: tumor extends to within 2 mm of the margin). The thickness of the melanoma primary is used to guide the recommended margin of normal tissue the surgeon plans to remove at the time of surgery.
Recommendations: Based on all the above information, the pathologist may make initial recommendations to the doctor, including whether another biopsy needs to be done to get additional tissue, or whether the doctor should perform an excision of the lesion to ensure complete removal.

Albany, New York (PRWEB) September 02, 2014
Nanomedicine is essentially based on the medical application of nanotechnology in diagnosing, treating and/or prevention of diseases and infections. Nanotechnology-based drugs and treatments are applied for treating cardiovascular, neurological, and oncology diseases.
Nanomedicine is based on the utilization of knowledge pertaining to various nanoparticles, their medical usages, and their actions within the human body.
There still exists considerable scope for research in this domain, and scientists are currently engaged in further studying the treatment-worthiness of a number of nanoparticles such as fullerenes, dendrimers, drug conjugates, and nano crystals. It is important to note that this area of medicine is still in its nascent stage mainly because it is a niche research area and it receives comparatively less research funding.
To browse through the ToC or purchase the market report on Nanomedicine Market, please visit: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/nanomedicine-market.html
According to the market research report by Transparency Market Research, oncology was the largest application segment within the nanomedicine market with a total share of 38%. This is attributed to the large scale focus on developing drugs and treatments for cancer, and the fact that approved nanomedicine drugs also exist in the market.
Get report sample PDF copy from here: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=1753
However, cardiovascular applications of nanomedicine are regarded as being the fastest-growing segment within the nanomedicine market. A large number of people being affected by cardiovascular problems worldwide, and the availability of various devices catering to the needs of this patient segment are growth influencers in this market. In addition, there has been a perceptible increase in support from various governments in bolstering research as well as product approvals within the nanomedicine segment; with this support likely to continue, the market for nanomedicine will continue to grow.
Research and breakthroughs could lead to the emergence of new treatments and technologies, with more bioavailability. Other factors such as a growing demand and acceptance of targeted drug delivery (especially where neurological disorders are concerned) has created a larger market for nanomedicine. On the other hand, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is on the rise, and this trend asks for the introduction of drugs that possess higher efficiency and better therapeutic properties. This is yet another need that will propel demand for nanomedicine products.
Browse Nanomedicine Market Article: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/article/nanomedicine-market.htm
Nanomedicine has already met with some success in oncology, and researchers and market players alike are buoyed by this success. Having realized the efficacy of nanomedicine in oncology, it is likely that the interest shown by market players to commercialize products in this segment will only rise.
It is projected that cardiovascular treatments are likely to emerge as the fastest growing market within the nanomedicine market between 2013 and 2019. Increased collaboration between academic and research institutes will prove favorable for the nanomedicine market. A noteworthy example of this would be the collaboration between Elan Corporation Plc and Abbott Laboratories for the development of the Tricor drug. This collaboration was key to helping both players lower cost associated with research and development.
Looking forward, market analysts expect that breakthroughs in nanomedicine will be crucial to the development of treatments and products for diseases such as diabetes, cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.

I am glad to use this Deodarant.This is good for users who have sensitive skin.
Good powder work for 10 hours and more.I feel fresh every time.

I have been using this for years! Buying these all the way from Singapore. It works perfect for me keeping my underarms dry throughout the day in the hot Singapore climate. Normal anti-perspirant just doesn't seem to work.

Really i like this Deodorant i feel fresh after using this product thank u so much..
