8 U.S. Code § 1284 - Control of alien crewmen
(a) Penalties for failure
The owner, agent, consignee, charterer, master, or commanding officer of any vessel or aircraft arriving in the United States from any place outside thereof who fails
(1) to detain on board the vessel, or in the case of an aircraft to detain at a place specified by an immigration officer at the expense of the airline, any alien crewman employed thereon until an immigration officer has completely inspected such alien crewman, including a physical examination by the medical examiner, or
(2) to detain any alien crewman on board the vessel, or in the case of an aircraft at a place specified by an immigration officer at the expense of the airline, after such inspection unless a conditional permit to land temporarily has been granted such alien crewman under section 1282 of this title or unless an alien crewman has been permitted to land temporarily under section 1182 (d)(5) or 1283 of this title for medical or hospital treatment, or
(3) to remove such alien crewman if required to do so by an immigration officer, whether such removal requirement is imposed before or after the crewman is permitted to land temporarily under section 1182 (d)(5), 1282, or 1283 of this title, shall pay to the Commissioner the sum of $3,000 for each alien crewman in respect to whom any such failure occurs. No such vessel or aircraft shall be granted clearance pending the determination of the liability to the payment of such fine, or while the fine remains unpaid, except that clearance may be granted prior to the determination of such question upon the deposit of a sum sufficient to cover such fine, or of a bond with sufficient surety to secure the payment thereof approved by the Commissioner. The Attorney General may, upon application in writing therefor, mitigate such penalty to not less than $500 for each alien crewman in respect of whom such failure occurs, upon such terms as he shall think proper.
(b) Prima facie evidence against transportation line
Except as may be otherwise prescribed by regulations issued by the Attorney General, proof that an alien crewman did not appear upon the outgoing manifest of the vessel or aircraft on which he arrived in the United States from any place outside thereof, or that he was reported by the master or commanding officer of such vessel or aircraft as a deserter, shall be prima facie evidence of a failure to detain or remove such alien crewman.
(c) Removal on other than arriving vessel or aircraft; expenses
If the Attorney General finds that removal of an alien crewman under this section on the vessel or aircraft on which he arrived is impracticable or impossible, or would cause undue hardship to such alien crewman, he may cause the alien crewman to be removed from the port of arrival or any other port on another vessel or aircraft of the same transportation line, unless the Attorney General finds this to be impracticable. All expenses incurred in connection with such removal, including expenses incurred in transferring an alien crewman from one place in the United States to another under such conditions and safeguards as the Attorney General shall impose, shall be paid by the owner or owners of the vessel or aircraft on which the alien arrived in the United States. The vessel or aircraft on which the alien arrived shall not be granted clearance until such expenses have been paid or their payment guaranteed to the satisfaction of the Attorney General. An alien crewman who is transferred within the United States in accordance with this subsection shall not be regarded as having been landed in the United States.

Article on songI would like to commend Nouman Khalil in his attempt to bring to the fore artists like M. Salahuddin (Brampton singer reprises Mehdi Hassan's classics, Jan 15).Khalil did a wonderful job in giving proper exposure to Salahuddin's talent while giving details about his efforts to meet the greatest exponent of the art of ghazal singing in the Indo-Pak subcontinent, the legendary Mehdi Hassan. It speaks volumes about the artist's humility and modesty that he wished to get permission from the great legend before releasing his first album Reborn.I'd encourage you to widen the scope of this kind of talent hunt to other disciplines, such as sport. For example, if good local cricketers get the required exposure through an interview in your publication, who knows, they may stand a good chance of representing Canada in the next World Cup.

First responders are helping first responders after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.
The Devola Volunteer Fire Department is holding a first responders fundraiser dinner at the fire house this Saturday, from 5 p.m. to 8 pm.
It may seem far away from the Valley but the money donated will go completely to all the first responders in New York City to help them however it can with recovery efforts after Sandy.
"The fundraiser is open to the public, it's the cost of donation and all the food and the equipment is donated by the members of the department," says Susie Rhodes, assistant chief of squad. "The department has not actually used any funds of the department for the dinner because as first responders we want to help."
Rhodes says as first responders it's hard to ask for help, because they are the people usually giving the help.
Members of the Devola Fire Department wanted to have a fundraiser to support and recognize those first responders because they know just how they feel.
"When we learned of Superstorm Sandy and as much damage as it did, we know that the first responders were out there serving the community, helping the community," Rhodes says. "Even though we know that at home their homes were being destroyed by fire and water and other disasters."
First responders see things that most people don't on a regular basis and they go into situations that aren't ideal.
They work long hours under a lot of stress... so it's a great opportunity to recognize their efforts on behalf of the people of the Valley.

First Ever Billiken Wiffleball Classic
On September 28 Fraternity and Sorority Life hosted the First Ever Billiken Wiffleball Classic. The tournament was a philanthropic event, with all proceeds going to Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital.
Six teams participated: Delta Gamma, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Alpha Theta, Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Kappa Delta. Awards were given to both No. 1 in the tournament, Delta Gamma, and the team with the most involvement at the tournament, Kappa Alpha Theta. TKE came in a close second, both in the tournament and participation. They battled it out with the ladies and families of Delta Gamma in the championship game. TKE also helped our staff grill hot dogs and burgers that were sold to players, families, and other spectators.
All of the proceeds from the tournament went to Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. The Greek community raised and donated $250 to Cardinal Glennon, thanks to every team who played, and everyone who came and bought food and/or drinks. All teams that participated were very much appreciated and will be recognized by chapter name in Fraternity and Sorority Life's donation to Cardinal Glennon, as well as within their national organizations for their philanthropic efforts. This event was recognized by The Jesuit Association of Student Personnel Administrators as September's Community Impact Award Winner.

LISBON – The Town Council voted Wednesday to approve a new law giving the town more authority to repair or remove unsafe buildings.
Under the previous law the town was able to remove buildings considered safety hazards but the process, requiring numerous attempts to reach owners and multiple inspections, would often take more than a year to complete.
The old law is being replaced by the new law which better outlines what the code enforcement officer has to do, what reports have to be filed when and what courts to go to, Lisbon attorney Charles B. Nash said.
The new law will reduce the time it takes the town to demolish a hazardous building to roughly two months, Mr. Nash added.
Crucially the new law establishes an emergency procedure where the Town Council can have the highway department remove the building.
If the demolition costs less than $20,000 the process would not have to go to competitive bidding.
Town Supervisor James W. Armstrong, speaking about the emergency procedure, said, You cant just arbitrarily do this.
Before demolishing a building the code enforcement officer would have to inspect the building followed by a state inspection.
Code Enforcement Officer Christopher J. Sherwin said the law will establish a three-strike policy where the town will attempt to contact the property owner three times before demolishing the building.
The owner could intervene by repairing, boarding up or tearing down the building before the town gets to it, Mr. Sherwin said.
The new law will also give the town the ability to add the fee of the demolition to the tax roll of the offending property owner.
The old law didnt give us that bite, Mr. Sherwin said.
The town council voted unanimously in favor of the law which will now be reviewed by the state. Mr. Armstrong said its likely to be at least three weeks before the law goes into effect.

Mets spring training home again called Tradition Field
The Mets spring training home will again be called Tradition Field, the park's name from 2004-2009.
The team announced today that they have resumed their partnership with Tradition Florida for the ballpark's naming rights.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Terrific! Of course, with all due respect to Digital Domain, I'm pretty sure I never actually stopped calling it Tradition Field. It always had a better ring to it, I got used to writing it, and that was that… I'm glad it's back.

|McHenry to vote to uphold President Bush's Stem Cell Research Veto
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 21 June 2007 20:03
Avery County Congressman Patrick McHenry has pledged to vote to uphold President Bush's veto of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, which directs taxpayer money to fund, according to McHenry, the destruction of human embryos for research purposes.In a statement released yesterday, McHenry denounced such research as "morally wrong," saying "it's based on the concept that you create life to destroy it."
"Scientific discovery should never compromise our moral integrity," he said.
The House voted 247 to 176 to pass the legislation after it cleared the Senate, 63-34 in April. The margins are short of the two-thirds supermajority that would be necessary to override a presidential vote.

(Feb 11, 2013) On February 3, 2013, the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee, signed with immediate effect a Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance, adopted by the country's Cabinet on February 1, which will impose harsher penalties for the current crime of rape, which is replaced in the Ordinance with the crime of sexual assault. (Alison Sacriponte, India President Signs Sexual Assault Ordinance, PAPER CHASE NEWSBURST (Feb. 4, 2013); Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance, 2013, SCRIBD.COM (Feb. 3, 2013).)
Adoption of the Ordinance was prompted by the gang rape and assault of a 23-year-old physiotherapy student on a private bus on December 16, 2012. Her male companion was severely beaten in the attack. The young woman's subsequent death on December 29 from the severe injuries she sustained led to mass, nationwide demonstrations and resulted in the formation by the central government of a three-member commission, headed by a former Indian Supreme Court Chief Justice, J.S. Verma, to "review[] the present laws so as to provide speedier justice and enhanced punishment in cases of aggravated sexual assault." (India: Rape Victim's Death Demands Action, Human Rights Watch (HRW) website (Dec. 29, 2012); Sacriponte, supra.) Many of the recommendations in the report on how India's legal institutions should handle rape cases were taken into consideration in the drafting of the Ordinance. (Sacriponte, supra.)
Women's rights groups, civil society organizations, and activists are reported to be critical of the Ordinance, arguing that it is inadequate to combat sexual crimes against women and was passed without due debate. (Sacriponte, supra.) According to Human Rights Watch, "[t]he
The Verma Report
The broad-ranging, 631-page report covered not only specific recommendations but included suggestions on political, judicial, and cultural reform as well. Its harshest criticism was directed against the manner in which the police and the judiciary have responded to rape accusations; it therefore argued that the government's most pressing tasks included increasing police accountability and applying harsher penalties for persons convicted of sexual assault. However, it did not advocate the death penalty for those convicted of rape. Among its other recommendations were the creation of special courts to handle rape cases, increased enforcement of laws against human trafficking, and allocation of additional judicial resources to further speedier trials and appeals of rape cases. (Keith Herting, India Panel Suggests Legal Reforms in Response to Rape Incident, PAPER CHASE NEWSBURST (Jan. 23, 2013); J.S. Verma, Leila Seth, & Gopal Subramanium, Report of the Committee on Amendments to Criminal Law (Jan. 23, 2012), JURIST website.)
The Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance 2013
The Ordinance newly stipulates imposition of the maximum sentence of the death penalty upon conviction in cases of sexual assault that result in death or a vegetative state (art. 376A). It doubles, to 20 years from 10, the minimum sentence available for sexual assault of a minor, by a group, or by policemen or a person in authority, etc., and makes the sentence for such crimes extendable to life imprisonment without parole. In addition to cracking down on sexual assault, the Ordinance introduces, among other crimes, those of voyeurism, stalking, disrobing of women, and acid attacks as specific offenses under the Indian Penal Code. (Sacriponte, supra; Vishwa Mohan, President Pranab Mukherjee Gives Nod to Tough Anti-Rape Ordinance, THE TIMES OF INDIA (Feb. 4, 2013).)
India had had an eight-year, unofficial moratorium on the death penalty until November 2012, when it hanged Ajmal Kasab, convicted of having taken part in the 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai. On February 9, 2013, Azfal Guru, condemned to death for his role in the 2001 attack on the Lok Sabha (India's parliament), was reportedly hanged in secret. Indian law prescribes that the death penalty is to be applied only in the "rarest of rare" cases. (India: Secret Hanging a Major Step Back, HRW website (Feb. 9, 2013).)
The Ordinance provisions took effect immediately upon the President's signature because the Lok Sabha was not in session, and the President deemed it necessary to act quickly. If a bill is not passed later by the Lok Sabha, the provisions will lapse and no longer be valid. (Sacriponte, supra.)
The Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill 2012
An earlier legislative proposal, the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, No. 130 of 2012, was submitted to the Lok Sabha on December 4 and referred to committee on December 28, 2012. This bill seeks to amend the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedures, 1973, and the Evidence Act, 1872. The amendment bill introduces three new offenses, including an offense related to acid attacks and replacement of the current offense of rape with sexual assault. (The Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2012, PRS LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH (last visited Feb. 7, 2013) [with links to the bill text, bill summary, and comparison between the bill; the Verma Report; and the Ordinance, 2013] [if the link is inoperative, see The Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2012, SCRIBD.COM (last visited Feb. 8, 2013); see also Full Text: The Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2012, IBN LIVE (Dec. 31, 2012, at 2:05 p.m.), & Sajid Sheikh, Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2012: A Welcome Step, LAWLEX.ORG (Jan. 27, 2013).)
The Code, the Ordinance, and the 2012 bill all provide a minimum punishment of seven years, a maximum punishment of life imprisonment, and a fine for the offense of rape (in the Code) or sexual assault (in the newer documents). However, the Code allows the court to impose a lower sentence while the bill removes this power of the court. Neither the Code nor the amendment bill contain a provision that specifically addresses sexual assault resulting in the victim's death or persistent vegetative state.

Tampa, Florida-- Politifact's Katie Sanders sat down with Reggie in the studio thursday evening to fact-check Governor Rick Scott's advertisement about Florida education.
In the ad, Scott says Republican leaders of Florida put $1 billion more into Florida schools and classrooms, but Sanders says he initially cut $1.3 billion in his first term, and has since restored the $1 billion in his second term.
Scott also says in the commercial that he has listened to parents' complaints about the FCAT, Florida's method of standardized testing, and that parents can expect improvements to the testing system next year.
Sanders says the improvements have been in the works for several years, and that Scott's statement implies he deserves credit for the upcoming changes.
"Scott agrees with [the changes]," says Sanders, "but he is not directly responsible for them."
Politifact rated Scott's claims in the ad as "half true."

Using 3D printing technology to repair a baby's heart, discovering new ways to preserve livers for transplantation, helping chemotherapy drugs find their way to treat pancreatic cancer, and performing surgery with robots through pinhole incisions are just some of the breakthroughs that stood out during 2014 at Columbia University Department of Surgery. Some of these innovations are already saving and improving lives, while others under investigation have demonstrated significant success in advancing our understanding of the science behind the medicine. All will have far-reaching impact for years to come

Three-Dimensional Printed Heart Helps to Save Baby's Life
Even the most ardent advocates for 3-D printing may have may have been stunned in late 2014 when Dr. Emile Bacha, Chief of the Congenital and Pediatric Heart Surgery, used the technology to save the life of a two-week old baby.
The baby was born with complex heart defects including many holes and malformations. Dr. Bacha's surgical team printed a 3-D model of the heart based on a CT scan, which they were able to study before operating. This process enabled them to plan exactly how they would approach the procedure, including the order of steps and where they would put patches and sutures.
According to Dr. Bacha, "the baby went from having a limited life expectancy to normal life expectancy. And instead of needing three or four surgeries to repair the multiple defects, we were able to correct all the defects in a single surgery."

Tackling Pancreatic Cancer: New Strategy to Help Chemotherapy Drugs Reach their Target
Pancreatic cancers are notoriously resistant to chemotherapy drugs because their dense tissue blocks penetration of systemic drugs. Thanks to the persistence of determined researchers and significant funding from the National Institutes of Health, that barrier may soon be overcome. A study led by Dr. Kazuki Sugahara, who joined Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons as a research scientist and surgical resident in 2014, aims to create a new type of chemotherapy delivery system that will be far more effective than what has been available to date.
Building on his earlier discovery that found that small pieces of proteins called peptides are able to penetrate deeply into pancreatic cancers and other fibrotic tissue, Dr. Sugahara and his colleagues are now working to test the safety of using the peptides as carriers for cancer drugs.
According to Dr. Sugahara, a delivery system that gets through the tissue barrier and directly infiltrates the tumor cells could have tremendous therapeutic impact. The work in the Sugahara laboratory is part of the Department of Surgery's broad mission to tackle pancreatic cancer from every angle, which includes initiatives in early detection, prevention and genetic testing, and the full range of medical and surgical options.

First Robotic Whipple Procedure for Pancreatic Cancer
Use of the surgical robot gained a significant foothold during 2014 when Drs. Yanghee Woo, Director of the Global Center of Excellence in Gastric Cancer Care and John Chabot, Chief of the Division of GI/Endocrine Surgery and Executive Director of the Pancreas Center, performed the first robotic Whipple procedures at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center.
The Whipple procedure, a common surgical procedure to remove pancreatic tumors, was first developed in 1935 by Dr. Allen Whipple, a professor of surgery at Columbia University. It involves removal of the head of the pancreas, the first part of small intestine (duodenum), the gallbladder, the end of the common bile duct, and sometimes a portion of the stomach.
The robotic surgical approach was initially used it to treat benign conditions and less advanced cancers before reaching patients with pancreatic cancer. While this process revealed it to be less useful in some operations, it has great benefit for a number of colorectal, liver, and gastric operations where it reduced surgical trauma, shorter hospital stays, and shorter recovery times. Because of the surgical robot's freedom of movement, precision, and magnified 3-D imaging capability, Dr. Woo is confident that she is able to do complex gastric operations better with the robot than without, and that robots will become an integral part of the OR in the coming decades.

Preventing and Reversing Lymphedema after Breast Surgery
The treatment of lymphedema, a disfiguring, painful swelling of the arms and hands that can occur after removal of the lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery, saw much innovation with the Clinical Breast Cancer Program in 2014.
The Department of Surgery is the first in the U.S. to perform LYMPHA, a procedure at the time of lymph node removal that could potentially prevent the development of lymphedema. This surgical procedure creates a bypass to restore lymphatic flow by connecting lymph vessels to a branch of the axillary vein, significantly reducing the risk of developing the condition.
In addition, following the success of a similar study among English-speaking patients, a new study by the Clinical Breast Cancer Program aims to reduce the incidence and severity of lymphedema in the Chinese community through implementation of a Chinese language educational intervention. The program emphasizes specific breathing techniques, arm exercises, proper skin care and protection, and behavioral interventions to promote lymph flow, prevent inflammation and infection, and maintain optimal body weight.

Hypothermic Liver Perfusion: Closing the Gap between Supply and Demand for Donor Livers
To increase the number of healthy donor livers available for transplant, experts at the Center for Liver Disease and Transplantation and the Molecular Therapies and Organ Preservation Laboratory of the Department of Surgery have been working to find ways to better preserve and protect donated livers, rendering them eligible for transplantation. Dr. James Guarrera, Surgical Director of Adult Liver Transplantation, and his team became the first anywhere to successfully use hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) in the liver.
Whereas traditional cold perfusion involves preserving the donor organ at cold temperature, hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) entails infusing the donor organ with oxygen and nutrients to simulate aliveness and reduce injury to the organ. The continuous flow of nutrients not only preserves the organ, which has shown better outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and fewer long-term complications, but it can also improve the function of an imperfect liver.
These were considered "orphan" livers that were initially deemed too compromised for transplant and likely would have been among the 600 donor livers discarded each year, but with these advances, "we should be able to expand the liver donor pool, making transplant available to many more patients," says Dr. Guarrera.

TAVR offers Lifesaving Option for Patients Unable to withstand Open-heart Surgery
The Columbia Heart Valve Center at the Department of Surgery marked a milestone in cardiac care upon completing its 1,000th transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in March, 2014.
TAVR is a catheter-based procedure for patients with aortic stenosis who need a new heart valve but are too sick to undergo open-heart surgery. During TAVR, a replacement valve is inserted through the groin and advanced to the heart using a specially designed delivery catheter. With this technique, the aortic valve can be replaced without incisions and without stopping the heart.
"Before we had TAVR, many of our patients had no clinical options to treat their aortic stenosis, a potentially fatal condition," says Dr. Susheel Kodali, Director of the Columbia Heart Valve Center. "As of today, we have been able to treat more than 1,200 patients with exceptional outcomes, thanks to this lifesaving procedure." With this milestone, he Columbia Heart Valve Center remains the highest volume center in the US and plays an integral role in the development of the technique.

Unprecedented Studies in Human Immunology
Because of the near-impossibility in obtaining human immune cells from healthy lymphoid tissues, research has generally been done on peripheral blood and mouse models, leaving 98% of the immune function (the lymphatic system) almost entirely unstudied and very poorly understood. A new multicenter study led by Columbia Center for Translational Immunology (CCTI) is now exploring this frontier with unprecedented access to human lymph tissues (the spleen and lymph nodes, lungs and intestines, and skin and liver) from deceased organ donors, provided through the first-ever collaboration with the New York Organ Donor Network.
The first part of the 4-part study, directed by Dr. Donna Farber of CCTI has already led to new discoveries about T cells that have the potential to yield paradigm changes in the effectiveness of vaccines and immunotherapies. Other segments of the study investigate how to effectively target B cells in vaccines and immunotherapies and to develop new tissue repair strategies. A fourth segment, which includes collaboration with Dr. Megan Sykes, Director of CCTI, and Dr. Tomoaki Kato, Surgical Director of Liver and Intestinal Transplantation at the Department of Surgery, may yield new methods of achieving immune tolerance after organ transplantation.
According to Dr. Farber, "We now have the technological tools for high-throughput analysis and for probing molecules and proteins. With these tissue samples, we can go far beyond what we were ever able to do in studying human physiology."
Reducing the Toll of Liver Disease: Education Matters
Treatment of liver disease is only the first step; the next most important task may be educating the public about it. In a host of speaking engagement, television appearances, and publications, Dr. Robert Brown, Jr., Medical Director of the Transplantation Initiative at the Department of Surgery, has contributed powerfully to public awareness of trends in hepatitis C and fatty liver disease during 2014.
October 2014 marked the arrival of a single tablet regimen (Sofosbuvir/Ledipasvir) for Hepatitis C that cures 95% of patients in 8 weeks, with extremely low side effects. This regimen marks a radical departure from painful injections of interferon and oral medications, which cure less than half of patients while causing side effects so serious that many patients refuse therapy. Dr. Brown asserts that the new, highly effective regimen "should herald a long-awaited milestone in medicine: the beginning of the end of hepatitis C, the most common and deadly chronic liver disease plaguing millions of Americans." Unfortunately, the high cost of the therapy currently presents a deterrent to insurers, physicians, and patients. Dr. Brown presents critical insight on what appears to be a conflict between curing millions of patients and managing health care costs – and calls on the medical community to consider long-term costs, quality of care, and ethics in their equation.
Dr. Brown also addressed another common liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (also called NASH), which affects approximately 80 million Americans. Speaking on the New England Cable Network in the fall of 2014, he informs listeners about the silent but growing epidemic and its relationship to obesity and diabetes.
Read the Dr. Brown's article in Pacific-Standard Magazine.

Perfecting the Mechanical Heart: 25 Years of Innovation
Initiation of a study of the HeartMate III Left Ventricular Assist System (also called a left ventricular assist device, or LVAD) in 2014 marks 25 years of pioneering work in the field of ventricular support and heart failure management for the Department of Surgery.
Implantable LVADs take over the pumping action of the left ventricle in patients whose hearts are too weak to sustain themselves. Candidates for the HeartMate III trial include patients with advanced heart failure who need a device either as a bridge to heart transplantation, or who are ineligible for transplant and who will use the device indefinitely (called 'destination therapy').
The Mechanical Circulatory Support Program at the Department of Surgery is the only New York area surgical group to participate in the HeartMate III study. Having been one of the first surgical centers to pioneer heart transplantation (beginning in 1971), The Department of Surgery has played an integral role in the development of many groundbreaking devices and procedures, including the FDA approval of the HeartMate® II LVAS, the predecessor to the HeartMate III.
Learn more about the history of the artificial heart in the TIME Magazine feature.

Preventing Diabetes after Surgery for Pancreatitis
Beginning in 2014, the Pancreas Center at the Department of Surgery became the first New York surgical center to offer autologous pancreatic islet cell transplantation providing many patients an option to prevent diabetes after undergoing pancreatic surgery.
Every year, roughly 87,000 people in the United States receive surgical treatment for pancreatitis, a debilitating condition that causes intense abdominal pain and, potentially, diabetes. Pancreatitis can be so painful that in some cases, patients must have the entire pancreas removed. While surgery to remove the pancreas (pancreatectomy) relieves pain in 90% of cases, patients are left without the ability to produce insulin, causing a difficult-to-treat form of Type 1 diabetes known as "brittle diabetes."
In auto islet transplantation, the patient's islet cells, which produce hormones that regulate the endocrine system, are extracted from the pancreas after it is removed. The cells are then processed and re-infused into the patient's liver, where they may eventually produce insulin to regulate blood sugar.
According to Dr. Beth Schrope, who spearheaded the auto islet transplant protocol at the Department of Surgery, about one third of patients require no insulin therapy after autologous islet transplantation, another third require some insulin therapy after the procedure, and the procedure is still unsuccessful in preventing diabetes in the remaining third. For two thirds of patients, the reduction of prevention of diabetes represents a tremendous advantage

Perl can be great, but when a complete idiot is writing code (like most VB programmers these days), the code is barely intelligible by even great coders. We do alot of perl at work here, and I'll tell ya -- the factory code, my bosses code, and the code my godlike programmer friend was gracous to fix are three separate lifeforms. The only one that is totally incomprehensible is my bosses, with a close second being the factory crap. By the way all -- COMMENTING IS NOT AN OPTION -- ITS FRIGGIN NECESSARY!!!!!
I Have a look at some perl code. Not very readable (Well thats from what I saw anyway)

I have one lens hood for a 28-105mm lens that is petal shaped. I have another lens hood for a 50mm lens that is fully round. If the purpose of the lens hood is to block stray light, then wouldn't fully round always block more?
As Chills stated, petal shaped hoods are designed to better take into account the wider shape of a camera's film or sensor.
This article on Lens Flare has a good description of lens hoods and how they function.
The petal design is more effective. Think of what you can see through your lens: it is a pyramid-shaped chunk of space that falls within your view, one that has a rectangular rather than a square base. Now imagine placing a round lens hood atop that pyramid - there will be a large gap on each side, because the corners bump into the round opening first. A petal-shaped hood fills in these gaps, excluding more stray light.
Here's an image that may help people to visualise why lens hoods are petal-shaped.
For wider angle lenses the optimal design is the petal shape. This is because of the rectangular sensor and wide field of view.
Short answer: Yes, a round tubular lens hood will always block more stray light than a petal-shaped lens hood.
BUT, that's only half of the answer, however. The part that is missing is, "without cutting off (vignetting) the corners of the image at the widest angle used, in the case of a zoom." (an important omission, no?)
The petal shape is one compromise solution unless designed specifically for a particular fixed-focal lens.
Another solution is used by some manufacturers who make an over-size tube lens filter and then cut a rectangular window in the end for the light blocking.
Motion picture cameras have such a thing attached to the camera mount in some way. It is also called a matte box and allows various inserts to mask the shot from various things and for various effects. It is a pleated accordion-fold affair that allows it to be changed for various set-ups.
Petal shaped hoods are better (because they fit better the rectangular size of the negative/sensor), but they can only be used in cameras which have a non-rotating front element.

1980 Olympics
Lake Placid
Eric and the Miracles.
Over 1,100 athletes from 37 countries participated in the 1980 Winter Games, but the only ones most people will ever remember are 21–year-old American speed skater Eric Heiden, who won five individual gold medals, and the U.S. hockey team—a bunch of college kids (average age 22) who beat the unbeatable Russians.
No one before or since Heiden has won five individual gold medals in a single Olympic Games (three of swimmer Mark Spitz's seven gold medals were for relay races). And Heiden's sweep of the men's speed skating events has never been duplicated.
The hockey team, on the other hand, was a decided underdog. Seeded seventh out of 12 teams in the first round, they had also been routed, 10–3, by the Soviet Union in an exhibition game only a week before the Olympics.
Nevertheless, the Americans reached the final round with a 4–0–1 record. Playing in front of a boisterous, flag-waving home crowd, the U.S. upset the Soviets, 4–3 (captain Mike Eruzione scored the winning goal midway through the third period and goalie Jim Craig made 39 saves), then beat Finland, 4–2, to win the gold medal. "Do you believe in miracles?" asked ABC-TV announcer Al Michaels as the final seconds ticked off against the Russians. "Ye-s-s-s!"
That game was played on Feb. 22—five days short of exactly 20 years after the 1960 U.S. team beat the USSR, 3–2, on their way to the gold medal at Squaw Valley. Other links to the past included right wing Dave Christian, whose father Billy and uncle Roger were linemates on the 1960 team, and coach Herb Brooks, who had been the last player cut from the 1960 squad.
Swedish Alpine skier Ingemar Stenmark, who would retire in 1989 with 86 World Cup victories, won the slalom and GS for his only two Olympic wins.

GAME DAY: Islanders at Flyers, 7pm
[Credit: Jamie Kellner] We're actually at the point now where the above picture could be called retro.
UPDATE, 4PM: Dylan Reese has been activated from IR.
Tonight's game is on MSG+2 so anticipate all the fun that comes along with that; desperately searching for the channel, hoping the audio doesn't echo… Anyway. The gate will be open as always. This is confirmed.
Dylan Reese skated with the Islanders this morning, working his way back from and MCL sprain suffered last time the Islanders were in Philadelphia, on February 7th. He wasn't expected to be on this road trip and he won't play tonight but he's on his way back. With Mark Katic being activated and returned to Bridgeport, there are only two players left on the Islanders' IR list. One is Reese and the other…
With three games in the next four days, we could see Anders Nilsson get a start somewhere. Nabokov has been a workhorse and should continue to be one, but even that would be a lot of work for him.

Realized I forgot to add this to my post the other day, so very sorry for the tardiness. Here's Jess Rubenstein's assessment of how the Rangers will do this season:
The first word that comes to mind is DISCIPLINE as the Rangers must play with it or no amount of talent will make any kind of difference. The Rangers were their own worst enemies last season killing off their own power plays by taking offensive zone penalties. Discipline means that Sean Avery has to play under control; Derek Boogaard can not just go out and fight anyone and the rest of the team needs to think before reacting.
The second word is OPPORTUNITY as when you have them then take full advantage of them. When you have a team on the ropes then finish them off; how many times did the Rangers let someone off the hook when they were on the brink of folding? Then answer is too many. Opportunity is when you have a 5 on 3 you score as again the Rangers need to take advantage of those opportunities.
The third word is CONSISTENCY as the Rangers need just that to be consistent on a nightly basis. Nothing was more frustrating to watch than the Rangers follow up a great win with a bad loss. Put consistent efforts together and those fans sitting in the Garden will be cheering instead of booing.
The last word is ACCOUNTABILITY as the Rangers need to hold themselves accountable not only to the fans but to each other. No more waiting for the other guy to step up and take charge; do it yourself. When the team needs someone to make a play do it yourself as nothing was more frustrating than watching the Rangers stare at each other as if to say "You do it" to each other.
Follow all 4 words and the Rangers have a chance. The biggest problem for the Rangers is the person behind the bench as John Tortorella needs to show faith in his team by letting lines have chances to develop chemistry. Tortorella needs to show confidence in his roster and use it to the best of their skills meaning use his players where their strengths are best and their weaknesses protected.
The Rangers have tried to once again purchase chemistry; a tactic that just not worked and quite honestly never will. Change is being forced upon the Rangers because of the salary cap and another season without the playoffs will force even more changes. Sather needs an excuse to clear salary for 2011-2012 so even he needs the Rangers to play poorly so he can have an excuse to hold a fire sale.
Rangers finish 10th simply because chemistry has to be developed

I beg you, for the love of all thats holy, stop tier 1/2/3 players from being able to join tier 4 servers. Or more realistically, at least allow pro spawned servers to be setup to only allow actual tier 4 players in.
I dont know if they have nowhere else to play (not enough players), dont understand that there are tiers and just join any server they fancy, think they're better than their assigned tier or just plain want to be irritating by going and ruining tier 4 games, but lately the situation seems to have been getting worse.
So an option when spawning a server to stop this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

NEWPORT–North Country (2-7-1) and Mount Mansfield (8-2) engaged in one slobber-knocker of a soccer game on Friday afternoon.
Bodies flying, yellow cards, red cards, screaming and yelling; It was awesome.
Sadly the Falcons lost the match in OT 2-1, but they got their money's worth out of the Cougars, that is for sure.
"It's a tough loss," said coach James McKenny. "They (MMU) capitalized when they needed to and that is the way the game goes. They have to feel pretty lucky getting out of here with a win."
I will be the first to admit that I like the style of play that the North Country boys soccer team plays.
Rough, gritty, physical soccer with an edge of nastiness to it.
Heck, when I played, my favorite thing to do besides scoring was a good clean slide tackle that sent my adversary hurling through space.
However, when playing this way, one must understand that you will make no friends with the ladies and gentlemen who officiate the game.
Therefore, when engaging in said style you must understand that you are going to have to live with the fact that you are not going to get the close calls against, you will be whistled for even the most perceived of slights, and of utmost importance, you will never win a verbal encounter with the referees.
It comes with the territory.
You get the picture, so onto the action.
North Country was behind the eight ball almost from the beginning of the game.
Less than two minutes in, Sean Springer beat Logan Fortier to give MMU the 1-0 lead.
Let me illustrate an example of what was going on out on the pitch.
Still in the first half, Chris Bronson got dumped by the Cougars' Tyler Hawley and there was no call.
Anyone surprised?
Didn't thing so.
Hawley, no stranger to the physical side of things, had been at this all game long, and the NCU coaching staff had no problem reminding the refs of the fact.
A minute later Kody Halikas does the exact same thing to one of the MMU guys.
Incensed, assistant coach Tim Stanley really starts giving it the official.
And rightfully so.
However, the ref would not talk to an assistant coach, and pretty much told Stanley to stick it.
Bronson mentioned to the ref that Stanley is indeed a coach and should have a voice in the matter.
Not the best of ideas, but I love the fact that Chris stood up for his coach and the way he plays the game.
Out came yellow card number one.
As Bronson made his way off the field he let the ref know that he was going to go talk to his assistant coach.
"Chris lays it all out there, heart and soul. He is taking some real ownership in his senior year and is not going to walk off of the field thinking he has not given his all," said McKenny.
I'm surprised he didn't get tossed right there, but there would be time for that later.
Keep in mind that MMU and their coach Phil Jacobs were just as vocal and physical as North Country, so if you think I am painting the Falcons out to be a bunch of thugs, your are mistaken.
Both teams managed to make it to the second half without any serious injury or assault charges filed.
In the second, Nate Marsh had a good chance to tie the game in the opening minute, but fell short in his attempt.
Soon after this, Travers Parsons-Grayson got wiped out trying to make a play, but he took his licking and kept on ticking.
"I usually don't think about it, I just focus on getting the ball," Travers said about the physical stuff on the field.
Seven minutes in and NCU was bringing the heat.
Jesse Breault, Bronson, Adam Viens, Halikas, Travis Tetreault, Ruffie Palin, all of these guys were buzzing around creating havoc for the Cougars.
With 12:47 left, the Falcons caught a break, albeit the ref was slow to whistle it, when Viens was bowled over just about on the MMU 18.
Zach Tweed took the direct kick and sent it past the wall and goalie Ian Besse to tie the game.
The Falcons had a glorious chance to win the game with 3:11 left to play.
Palin was fouled inside the eighteen and NCU was awarded the obligatory penalty-kick.
Alright, finally some justice.
After some debate as to who was going to take the shot, Halikas lined up in front of the six and...
Fired the ball wide to the left.
"You have got to make those shots if you want to win in this league. We didn't, and it cost us," said McKenny.
Going the other way with the momentum behind them, Mount Mansfield nearly won it in the final seconds, but Ryan Paul, his goalie instincts ever on alert, made a great save behind Fortier to send the game into overtime.
Four minutes into bonus time Bronson got "Das Boot" on a horrible call.
While trying to regain his footing after nearly tripping, he stumbled and knocked into one of his opponents.
The kid recoiled like he had been shot and that was enough for the ref to pull out the yellow and subsequent red card.
I haven't seen someone get screwed by a ref like that since Bret Hart during Survivor Series 1997.
Honestly, I do know the difference between incidental and "accidental" incidental contact and this was no con job by Chris.
If he didn't fall into the kid he more than likely would have staggered a few more steps or fell down.
After Bronson exited the field there was distinct sound of something hitting the back of the Falcon dugout, but I can not confirm what it was.
Right about now I am surprised that coach McKenny's head didn't explode, but he held it together the best he could and his team soldiered on.
With the home team down a man the visitors took full advantage of the situation.
With 4:14 left, Brad Adair came down the right side and sent one home to get the win.
Then I heard a scream.
A guttural unleashing of anguish that comes from somewhere down deep.
It was Fortier, who had 8 saves in the game.
All that pent up rage came out in a mighty yell and it pretty much summed things up for the Falcons.
Disappointment, frustration, anger, you name it, it was all there for the world to hear.
Said McKenny, "It was frustrating, that is for sure. The guys put a lot of hard work into this every day and we were looking for the win."
What will happen when North Country takes on BFA St. Albans under the lights on Wednesday?
I don't know.
They won last time when the teams squared off under the lights at the Collins-Perley Complex, so maybe this is the perfect setting for a little soul cleansing.
Game time is 6:00 on Veteran's Field.

Nevertheless, for purposes of catering to those who are still super loyal passengers of Superferry, Negros Navigation, Cebu Ferries and Supercat, our website administrators and friends have agreed and opted to post articles based on the ocean vessel and to which it was formerly known to be. This especially considering that some passengers have discriminating tastes and each ship or ocean vessel have different facilities, amenities and even fare rates despite their all being under the 2Go Group, Inc. or 2Go Travel.
Example: If the ocean vessel plying a specific destination under such regular schedule is The Saint Micheal the Archangel, which is formerly a Negros Navigation vessel, we labelled the article as a Negros Navigation 2Go Travel article. Meanwhile, if the vessel is Saint Thomas Aquinas, which is formerly named Superferry 2 vessel, we categorized the article as a Superferry 2Go Travel article. Also, if the vessel plying such specific route and particular regular schedule is Saint Anthony de Padua, which is formerly named as Cebu Ferries 2, we chalk down the article as a Cebu Ferries 2Go Travel article.
Nevertheless, all articles related to Superferry, Negros Navigation, Cebu Ferries and Supercat would soon be under the 2Go Travel category.
