Randomized Trial of Standard Versus Higher Dose Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) in Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Complete Responders (CR): Primary End Point Analysis (PCI99-01, EORTC 22003-08004, RTOG 0212)
The use of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been shown to provide an overall survival benefit (3-year overall survival of 20.7% with PCI versus 15.3% without) in a large meta-analysis (a study combining the results of several studies) by decreasing the risk of developing brain metastasis. There were a variety of doses and fractionation schemes used in the above mentioned meta-analysis. When the total dose was examined, it appeared that there was a trend towards decreased brain metastasis with higher doses of PCI. This study looked to compare the standard PCI dose to a higher dose.
Participants (n=720) had limited stage small cell lung cancer and were randomly assigned to receive standard dose PCI (SD) or a higher dose, twice-a-day regimen (HD). Toxicities were similar in the two arms. There was no statistically significant difference in the rates of brain metastases between the groups. For unknown reasons, there were lower rates of chest recurrence in the HD group and a decrease in survival in the HD group. For now, standard dose PCI should remain the standard of care.

|Drug-resistant superbugs are on the rise. In a study published this week, researchers reported that the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is at least twice what they had previously believed. Other doctors have identified a strain of bacteria responsible for the common ear infection that is anything but common -- it's resistant to all antibiotics approved for use in children. The discovery was made after a group of children in Rochester, NY did not respond to standard antibiotics being used to treat their ear infections. After testing samples taken from the childrens' ears, researchers identified the drug-resistant superbug and were able to successfully treat it by using antibiotics that have not been FDA approved for use in children. The ear infection research is reported this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Multi-drug resistant pathogens have been on the rise in recent years, largely due to the overuse of antibiotics, say experts. In this segment, Ira talks with two doctors about the problem of antibiotic resistance, and what might be done to combat the rise of drug-resistant pathogens.

In today's NY Post Larry Brooks mentions that the Rangers
were keen on acquiring defenseman Brent Burns before he was traded to the
San Jose Sharks at the draft last month.
In the end GM Glen Sather was unwilling to part with the
considerable assets it would have taken to pry Burns from Minnesota, but it's curious that the
Blueshirts were working to add another offensive-minded defenseman given the
youngsters already within the organization.
New York
for Tim Erixon at the beginning of June, a Swede with plenty of offensive
ability, and also has another young puck-mover in Michael Del Zotto. Though both Erixon and Del Zotto are unproven
and Burns has established himself as one of the NHL's elite offensive talents
on the blue line, it had seemed as though the Rangers were content with their
emerging defensive core.
The Rangers' interest in Burns could mean a few things:
The team isn't confident in Del Zotto. It's been well documented that the Rangers
are extremely high on Erixon, but interest in Burns could signify that New York isn't sold on
DZ's future in the NHL. It's way too
early to give up on Del Zotto or even be disappointed with his development, but
the organization's faith in the 21-year-old seems to have been shaken by his
roller coaster 2010-2011 season. It's
hard to imagine that Erixon would have been dealt to Minnesota
after just arriving in New York,
but Del Zotto would probably have been one of the pieces of a package for Burns. The Blueshirts don't appear likely to make a
significant trade this offseason so Del Zotto should get another shot at
training camp to prove himself once again, but he needs to turn things around
because the team has plenty of other options should he continue to struggle.
The Blueshirts are determined to win now. Burns would have been a huge addition for the
Rangers' defense, but the cost of acquiring him would have been massive. The package Minnesota received from San Jose
Setoguchi, top prospect Charlie Coyle and a first-round pick) was
significant and we can assume the Wild would have wanted a similar package from
the Rangers. Del Zotto would probably
have been included in the deal along with possibly the Rangers' first-round
pick or a top forward prospect and a draft pick next year. Sather was unwilling to forfeit so much for
Burns, but if Brooks' report is accurate and Sather was at least considering a
move for Burns, he had to realize how steep the price would be. This was before the Rangers
signed Brad Richards and though his eventual commitment to New York may have been
anticipated, Sather would have been making this move and mortgaging part of the
future independent from the Richards signing. That means that Sather and company are probably of the belief that it's
time to start attempting to upgrade positions rather than continuing to accumulate
assets because they believe this team has a solid enough foundation to take the
next step. While the team will continue
to commit to drafting and developing homegrown talent, it has reached the point
where some of these youngsters could be flipped for other important pieces.
Tinkering with the defense is an ongoing process. Marc Staal isn't going anywhere, but it's
hard to tell how firmly entrenched the rest of the Rangers' young defenders are
in the lineup. Though there have been no
indications from the team itself, there has been speculation this offseason
that Dan Girardi could be expendable because his value probably won't ever be
higher and his relentless shot blocking puts him at risk for injury. Ryan McDonagh appears to be a blue chip piece
and Mike Sauer was very impressive during his rookie season, but with top
prospects Erixon, Del Zotto and Dylan McIlrath on the way,
there eventually will be tough personnel evaluations to be made. It's easy to fall in love with the wealth of
riches in terms of young defenders, but packaging one or more of these
defensemen to pick up a star is certainly a possibility down the road.

About iOS Apps of the Day
iOS has over 600,000 apps. With so many apps out there, app discovery (aka finding new and useful apps) is extremely difficult. With our iOS Apps of the Day initiative, dotTech aims to change that. Everyday we post three apps, allowing our readers to discover new apps, daily. Enjoy! [Subscribe to dotTech to never miss an article: RSS Feed | E-mail]
Developers: Click here to get your apps featured here!
dotTechies: Want to see an app on here? Send us a tip!
Apps for August 20, 2012
Best Album – Picasa Web Albums Manager
Best Album allows you to use Google Picasa on your iDevice. The user has full control over any number of Picasa accounts, with the options to view, edit, delete, or even email albums. You can also view, upload, move, save, or delete individual photos to/from your albums. The app allows you to view all Exif information, including location by way of a coordinate map. Sharing features are also available by email, SMS, Twitter, Facebook, and AirPrint.
I found Best Album to be very useful, especially because you can upload any number of photos (and of any size) from your device to Google Picasa. The app even includes a helpful (but limited) set of edit functions to touch up photos that aren't perfect. It is also worth noting that Best Albums provides a very convenient cache function in case you want to be able to view your photos offline. While many of us want to keep our precious hard drive space, some my might take advantage of that feature.
Price: $0.99
Requires: iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad; iOS 4.2 and up
Download size: 11.1 MB
Best Album – Picasa Web Albums Manager on iTunes
SloPro – 60fps Slow Motion Video
SloPro is a video recording and editing app that allows you to view your recordings in various speeds. The concept of taking videos and slowing them down can be quite useful for not only entertainment purposes, but also for more educational purpose, such as instructional aids. SloPro allows you to slow down or accelerate the recordings to various speeds, which all looked very smooth on my 4S when I rendered the videos. Directions for rendering are given in the app itself and are very clear. There are some limitations to the free version, though. It lacks the ability to export to camera roll, export raw 60fps, remove watermarks, and email videos. All of these actions would be nice to have, but might not be required depending on your intentions for using the app.
[Note: This the developers of this app claim that only iPhone 4S users can get the full capability of this app, but they provide alternate effects for other iPhones in the effort to achieve the same effect. I do not have a lower model iPhone to test it, so feel free to check it out and comment.]
Price: Free (In-App Pro Upgrade of $3.99 unlocks several features)
Requires: iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad; iOS 5.0 and up
Download size:7.9 MB
SloPro – 60fps Slow Motion Video on iTunes
Mileage Keeper
Mileage Keeper is a simple and straightforward tool for tracking your automobile's fuel economy. Whenever you refuel, you simply enter your odometer reading and fuel amount at the pump (or from your receipt) and the app calculates the mileage (MPG, etc.) for you in a nice iOS table. You also have the option to provide the refueling cost, which Mileage Keeper will use to keep track of the price per gallon amount you are paying each time. It is worth noting that this app can be used in several different countries, as the mileage and currency is displayed in your local style.
This app is not for the user who wants something aesthetically mind-blowing, but rather for someone who just wants a straightforward and free mileage tracker. One feature I really enjoy about Mileage Keeper is that provides options for not only partial fillings, but for a skipped refueling. You can also do this for any number of cars. Furthermore, I can see how this app would work quite well for company employees who are supposed to keep track of gas purchases.
Price: Free
Requires: iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad; iOS 4.2 and up
Download size: 0.4 MB
dotTechies: We have tested all the apps listed above. However, iOS Apps of the Day articles are not intended as "reviews" but rather as "heads-up" to help you discover new apps. Always use your best judgement when downloading apps, such as trying trial/free versions before purchasing paid apps, if applicable.

Thank you for the wonderfully kind words. You made my day and I just woke up. :-)
I don't have a personal website as of yet, but I created and maintain a non-profit website at http://seacrestbeachclub.org. As far as iOS development, I am more of a newbie in that area, as I am about halfway done developing my first app. It is quite expansive and I want it to be as close to perfect as possible upon release, so it might be awhile before it sees the light of day. Objective-C is also quite challenging as well, so every new feature that you want for your app requires a bunch of research. It is a great experience though.
Speaking of that, I have been in search of an affordable push notification service for iOS devs. Anyone know a good one?
Mister Lee
Hello Brett, You have been doing a commendable job in your new assignment here at dottech. Judging by the quality of your work here, I would be interested in perusing your website and a list of the ios apps you have authored. I'm sure others would as well. Congrats to Ashraf for bringing on a top-shelf writer to cover ios apps. I hope you can post the above mentioned info.
Best regards, Mister Lee

Why is it not made clear in the information about the Diamond Juliee Scholarship the young people in resident in Scotland and gaining a place ton an IET accredited degree course at a Scottish University are ineligible for this Scholarship.
12 October 2012 05:28 PM
I would like to clarify that there is no rule to say that people from Scotland are not eligible. However, the scholarships are initially available for A level students of which there are very few in Scotland.
The IET plans to expand the scholarship to include other qualilfications (e.g. Advanced Highers) when funding allows. We will be putting a Frequently Asked Question about this on the relevant website page next week and in other communications to explain this point.

13 December 2012 11:03 AM
The IET is delighted to announce that a new scholarship programme to encourage the brightest students from across the UK into IET accredited programmes has been expanded to include those who study Highers and Advanced Highers.
Initially aimed at those with A levels, this announcement also makes the scholarship available to those with Scottish pre-University qualifications who study an IET accredited BEng or MEng degree in England, Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland providing they meet the criteria explained below.
The Diamond Jubilee Scholarships are named in honour of the IET's patron, Her Majesty the Queen, and aim to help address the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills shortage in the UK.
Professor Andy Hopper, IET President, said: "The main aim of this national initiative is to encourage the brightest and best students to study IET accredited courses, which will put them on a path that is not only challenging and rewarding, but is also vital to the UK's sustainable economic growth. One of the important roles of the Institution of Engineering and Technology is to stimulate and promote interactions between industry and academia. In the current economic climate, the flow of ideas, knowledge, and skilled people from universities into industry is more important than at any time in recent history. The role to be played by the IET in this respect assumes even greater importance and the IET's board of trustees has made a significant commitment to the next generation of engineers through this exciting scheme".
Students who meet the minimum criteria will be entitled to an IET scholarship of £1,000 per year during their studies up to a maximum of £3000 for Bachelors students and £4000 for MEng students.
Entrants will need to have achieved at least 3 'A' grades at A-levels, 3 'A' grade Advanced Highers or 5 'A' grade Highers and must be embarking upon an IET accredited BEng or MEng programme from Autumn 2013. They must be a UK resident and not in receipt of another IET scholarship or IET grant.
Subsequent annual payments will depend on progressing to the next stage of the programme with an average mark of 60% or above. Successful students will also be required to provide updates on their career to the IET after graduation.
Key dates
Entry opens in January 2013 via online submission and applications must be received by 27 June 2013.

The city's effort to clean up public areas took a big step on Wednesday. After nearly six hundred days of tents and tarp on the mauka sidewalk of Thomas Square, the walkway is finally back open to pedestrian traffic, flanked by pink hibiscus and newly planted hedges.
"It is a special place and there's been, I think, a great amount of disrespect here at this park. It's about restoring this park to its previous dignity," said Mayor Kirk Caldwell.
The mayor said orange fencing will remain to give the grass and keiki hedges a chance to grow before next month's observance of the 170th anniversary of Thomas Square.
"We would drive by and be distracted by the tents and such and not even know there was this beautiful place to come to, so we would keep on driving. It's made such a difference to even see the plants," said Grace Salzer.
The King Street sidewalk is still blocked off as crews even out the concrete. For now, Occupiers have moved to the area fronting the Blaisdell Concert Hall.
The sidewalk on the makai side of Thomas Square on King St. is scheduled to open next month. Meanwhile, Occupy Honolulu protesters continue to visit the park every day.
"By moving us around it's bringing more attention to the actual issues that we see on the street, that there's a homeless problem," said Chris Smith with Occupy Honolulu.
The city said it's going to ramp up its enforcement crews and extend hours of cleaning up tents and abandoned belongings in all public spaces.
"We have to walk on the other side just to get by all these people, so what do we do, we are going to stand up to them," said Kahale Minor.
City Parks and Facility maintenance officials say the cleanups of public areas, which are now scheduled twice a month, will be stepped up to about once a week.

George Nelson (1908-1986) was an extremely influential industrial designer, writer, and thinker whose designs are as popular today as perhaps they've ever been. Educated in architecture at Yale University in the 1920s, Nelson was a prolific writer on design. He wrote for Architectural Forum and Interiors and published the top-drawer books Tomorrow's House, How to See: A Guide to Reading Our Man-Made Environment, and Building a New Europe: Portraits of Modern Architects. More important than his writing, however, was his work as an industrial designer. He had a close relationship with the Herman Miller furniture company, for which he served as creative director, which produced his famous works such as the bubble lamp, marshmallow sofa, swag leg desk and dozens of clocks. In 1959 he worked on the exhibition design of the American National Exhibition in Moscow, home of the famous "Kitchen Debate" between then US Vice President Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Kruschev. Nelson's legacy lives on now and he has come to define mid-century American design like few others.

- How to Read a Study Record
Some bacteria that cause disease can produce toxic substances that may worsen the disease. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacteria that can produce a variety of toxins and is of special interest for patients with cystic fibrosis and repeated long term lung infections.
The goal of this study is to determine whether specific toxins produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be important in the disease process of chronic lung infections of patients with cystic fibrosis.
This study will attempt to measure bacterial production of toxins in blood and sputum and immune system response to toxins in the blood.
Pseudomonas Infection
Cystic Fibrosis
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Role of Exotoxins in the Pathogenesis of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
|Study Start Date:
|February 1998
The goal of this study is to determine whether virulence determinants that use the type III-secretory pathway may be important in the pathogenesis of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The studies will quantify bacterial effector proteins in serum and sputum and the immune response to specific products as reflected by antibodies in serum. Candidate effector proteins include: (1) exotoxin A, a non-type III-dependent ADP-ribosyltransferase and cytotoxin that does not use the Type III secretory pathway, (2) ExoS, a type III pathway-dependent extracellular ADP-ribosyltransferase with cytotoxic activity, (3) ExoU, another type III-dependent cytotoxin, that is responsible for epithelial injury in acute lung infections, and (4) PcrV, a homolog to the V antigen of Yersinia.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|9 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Patients with cystic fibrosis with a defined mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) (e.g., any of the known variants of the CFTR gene, such as the delta F508 allele).
Patients will have been tested or will be tested for the CFTR gene under another protocol.
Research volunteers that are age-and race-matched as control subjects.
Patients who are less than 9 years of age. Research volunteers less than 18 years of age.
Patients or research volunteers who test positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or a positive serum test for hepatitis B and/or C virus.
Patients or research volunteers who test positive for tuberculosis.
Research volunteers with pulmonary disease or infection.

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI gave his final general audience, the weekly appointment he kept with the faithful and tourists to teach them about the Catholic faith.
The Pope addressed the faithful in English by saying,
"Dear Brothers and Sisters, I offer a warm and affectionate greeting to the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors who have joined me for this, my last General Audience. Like Saint Paul, whose words we heard earlier, my heart is filled with thanksgiving to God who ever watches over his Church and her growth in faith and love, and I embrace all of you with joy and gratitude. During this Year of Faith, we have been called to renew our joyful trust in the Lord's presence in our lives and in the life of the Church. I am personally grateful for his unfailing love and guidance in the eight years since I accepted his call to serve as the Successor of Peter. I am also deeply grateful for the understanding, support and prayers of so many of you, not only here in Rome, but also throughout the world. The decision I have made, after much prayer, is the fruit of a serene trust in God's will and a deep love of Christ's Church. I will continue to accompany the Church with my prayers, and I ask each of you to pray for me and for the new Pope. In union with Mary and all the saints, let us entrust ourselves in faith and hope to God, who continues to watch over our lives and to guide the journey of the Church and our world along the paths of history. I commend all of you, with great affection, to his loving care, asking him to strengthen you in the hope which opens our hearts to the fullness of life that he alone can give. To you and your families, I impart my blessing. Thank you!"
Some 50,000 tickets have been requested for Benedict's final master class in St. Peter's Square; thousands more people are expected to pack the main boulevard leading to the piazza to watch Wednesday's audience on giant TV screens.
On Tuesday, the Vatican said Benedict would in retirement continue to wear the white cassock of the papacy and be called "emeritus pope" or "Your Holiness," raising questions about the peculiar situation soon to confront the church: having a reigning and a retired pope, living side-by-side.
The Vatican says it foresees no problems and Benedict has said he will pray and be "hidden to the world."

PROVIDENCE— Following a nine-day trial of often graphic testimony, Armando Garcia, 32, with a last known address of 486 Mineral Spring Ave., Pawtucket, was found guilty Thursday of the murder of 30-year-old Brooke Lee Verdoia by a Providence County Superior Court jury.
The jury deliberated for five hours before returning with the verdict, finding Garcia guilty of murder, failure to report a death and driving a motor vehicle without consent of the owner. The trial was presided over by Superior Court Justice Susan E. McGuirl.
According to Attorney General Peter Kilmartin, during the course of the trial, the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that in the early morning hours of June 25, 2010, Garcia brutally attacked and murdered Verdoia in her home, while her young child slept. Garcia and Verdoia were involved in a romantic relationship at the time.
The evidence proved that Verdoia died from seven separate blunt force trauma injuries and seven stab wounds. After killing her in the living room, Garcia moved her lifeless body to her bedroom, where the State proved he staged a robbery and rape.
During the course of the investigation, Pawtucket Police located Verdoia's Cadillac Escalade in the vicinity of the home of Garcia's grandmother. A witness testified that while cleaning the Escalade at the request of the defendant, he saw blood on the interior of the vehicle. Despite the cleaning, blood was found inside the vehicle that was later determined to be Verdoia's. Police obtained Garcia's clothes, which also contained blood evidence. Once arrested, Garcia's gave conflicting accounts to police and finally admitting he killed her.
"October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and I can think of no case more than this to remind us of the tragic consequences of domestic violence," said Attorney General Kilmartin. "Brooke Verdoia was violently ripped away from her child and her family by a violent man who had no regard for her life. After he bludgeoned her to death, Garcia's only concern was to cover up his crime as he staged her home and her body to make it appear as a robbery and rape. He was not concerned for the safety of Brooke's young child, sleeping peacefully just a few feet away. He was not concerned for Brooke's mother, who found her lifeless body the next day. While today's verdict does nothing to bring Brooke back to her family, I hope it will serve as a stark reminder that we all need to do more to end domestic violence."
Pawtucket Police Detectives Donti Rosciti and David Silva led the investigation. Assistant Attorney General and Chief of the Criminal Division Stacey Veroni prosecuted the case on behalf of the Department of Attorney General.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Discover Contamination (Site Discovery)
Anyone can report the discovery of a hazardous waste problem, including local and state agencies, businesses, the U.S. Coast Guard, concerned citizens, or EPA. Potential hazardous waste sites should be reported to the National Response Center Hotline (available 24 hours a day, seven days a week) or to state and local authorities.
To Report an oil spill or other environmental emergency such as a chemical release, call the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802.
Evaluate the Site (Site Assessment)
The top priority in evaluating a hazardous waste site is to determine whether or not an emergency exists. When a hazardous waste site is reported, EPA inspects the site to determine what type of "action" or cleanup procedure, if any, is necessary. EPA reviews existing data, inspects the site, and may interview nearby residents to find out the history and the effects of the site on the population and the environment.
EPA New England has a number of sites for which site assessments have been performed, but a decision whether to list the site on the National Priorities List (NPL) has not been made. These sites are referred to as Sites Awaiting an NPL Decision (SAND). SAND sites include sites that have been assessed by the Superfund program, are now being addressed under state program authorities, or are in various stages of assessment and cleanup by other federal or state agencies. For additional information, visit the EPA New England Superfund SAND Web pages.
EPA tests the soil, water, and air to determine what hazardous substances were left at the site and how serious the risks may be to human health and the environment. Individuals or companies responsible for the contamination at the site may conduct these assessments under close EPA supervision. Many of the sites that are studied do not need cleanup by the Superfund program. Some sites do not require any action, while others are referred to the state, other EPA programs such as the Brownfields program, or other agencies or individuals for cleanup. If the site qualifies for cleanup through the Superfund program, EPA then decides whether the site is a short-term cleanup or a long-term cleanup.

MASSENA The Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce will be going back out in search of a new director.
Connie Jenkins, who took over as director on Dec. 2, tendered her resignation on Friday to accept another position in Malone.
She has taken a position in Malone, a position she was originally hoping for, chamber board President Miriam S. Catapano said. Her resignation comes as a complete surprise and at a very busy time for the chamber. We wish her well.
Among the chamber events coming up soon are the Winter Carnival and annual dinner, both in January.
Ms. Jenkins, who has served as a chamber executive director in the past, as well as editor of the Malone Telegram and a freelance writer and editor, lives in Malone. She said that was one of the reasons she opted to submit her resignation.
Thats part of it. I knew when I took the job that I would be commuting. Commuting is a large part of it. Its harder than I realized, she said.
Ms. Jenkins said she accepted the position as the chamber director after pursuing multiple opportunities.
I was applying for a lot of jobs when I applied for this one. A job I thought had gone by because I hadnt heard back from them, they unexpectedly offered me the job. Its a hard decision. If I could be two people, I would do both things, she said.
This is a chance to have a job at home and not commute. I hate to come and go so quickly, but I need to get out before I get too entrenched here. If I was more hands on instead of just learning the ropes, it would hurt the chamber more, Ms. Jenkins said.
She said she enjoyed her tenure as the chamber director and wishes the agency well.
Im very proud of what the chamber has done and how things have been going. Everybody has been delightful to me. I have no bad feelings toward anyone, she said.
The chamber had been without a full-time director since former Executive Director Michael J. Gleason was fired in July. Mr. Gleason had been executive director since Oct. 15, 2007.
Since his departure, Associate Director Penny Pullmain has been handling the day-to-day operations at the chamber office with the assistance of chamber board members.
The job title was also changed from executive director to director.
Ms. Catapano had said that with the hiring of Ms. Jenkins, the directors focus would be on chamber membership and marketing, while Ms. Pullmain would focus on chamber events.
As chamber director, Ms. Jenkins was expected to find out members needs, why they belong to the chamber, what their partnership is with the chamber and what theyre looking for in their membership. Now that role will fall to someone else.
We will continue our search, Ms. Catapano said. We will review the resumes we have and continue our search.

Dr. Raymond Peters, left, inspects a facial prosthetic that Dr. David Trainer was working on for Amalia Mendoza. Greg Kahn/Staff
Rocio Villa, center, leads Amalia Mendoza through their hotel room in Naples as Antonio watches TV. Mendoza was in town to have a prosthetic face made for her by one of the worlds best known doctors in the field. Greg Kahn/Staff
Nurses prepare Amalia Mendoza for a surgery to anchor titanium bolts with magnets on the end into her skull. This was done so her new prosthetic face, also fitted with magnets on the inside, could be taken off when she wanted but otherwise would be securly attached to her. Greg Kahn/Staff
Amalia Mendoza is wheeled to the operating room at Physicians Regional Medical Center in Naples. Greg Kahn/Staff
Amalia Mendoza has the magnets attached to her skull in surgery. David Trainer, who was making her prosthetic face, wanted to have 10 magnets placed, but since the bone in her head was left very brittle from the accident, the surgeon was only able to put in five. Greg Kahn/Staff
Surgery is wrapped up on Amalia Mendoza. Originally David Trainer wanted 10 to 12 screws implanted, but since Mendoza doesn't have much tissue and the bone is brittle, only five screws could be placed. Greg Kahn/Staff
Heidi, of Heidi's Hair Clinic in San Francisco, brushes a custom prosthetic hair piece for Amalia Mendoza as her transformation nears completion. Greg Kahn/Staff
After weeks of making Amalia Mendoza's prosthetic, David Trainer paints the final details into the silicon skin to help it blend to the rest of Mendoza's face. "I push myself, I want to make the perfect prosthesis," Trainer said. "It's out there, it's the Holy Grail of what we do." Greg Kahn/Staff
Seeing her mother for the first time with a temporary prosthesis over her face made by Dr. David Trainer, Rocio Villa is overcome with emotion. Greg Kahn/Staff

Amalia Mendoza, center, wearing her new face for the first time, is accompanied by her daughter Rocio, left, and financial consultant for the surgeon Betsy Torres-Alicea, right, after leaving the surgeon's office to show off her new look. The first question Mendoza asks everyone she meets is how does her face look. "They say I look pretty, totally transformed, almost the way I used to look before the accident," Mendoza said.

Rope Lights, Cove Lights & String Lighting
Flexibility is always a great quality to have, especially when it comes to accent lighting. Rope lights make it easy to add this type of lighting to hard to reach spots like under cabinets, in display cases and outside under the patio steps. These string lights are playful and fun to use, and they're just as easy to coil up and put away when they're not needed.

Applications for certification are judged on whether they
meet the standards delineated in
Genealogy Standards. All of its
eighty-three standards contribute to the level of credibility
in genealogy called the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS).
As a result, genealogists who are certified have demonstrated
their ability to do work that meets the GPS.
Proof is a fundamental concept in genealogy. In order to
merit confidence, each conclusion about an ancestor must
have sufficient credibility to be accepted as "proved."
Acceptable conclusions, therefore, meet the Genealogical
Proof Standard (GPS). The GPS consists of five elements:
Each element contributes to a conclusion's credibility
in a different way, described in the table below, but all
the elements are necessary to establish proof.
Applicants for research-category certification are
required to demonstrate they fully understand
the GPS and can apply it to research situations. The
parts of an application that specifically
test this knowledge include the case study and kinship-determination project.
The GPS reflects a change from the term "Preponderance
of the Evidence," used earlier to describe
the high standard of proof BCG had always promoted.
(For further information
about this topic, click here
for information on BCG's decision and here
for a detailed article on this subject.) Case studies
in national genealogical journals, such as the National
Genealogical Society Quarterly and The American
Genealogist, illustrate the GPS.

The trays holding food delivered to homebound people around the county may not seem like a major thing to worry about.
But Carbon County's senior citizen centers director Debbie Kobe explains that the trays are more important that people may think.
"Cost is always a factor, but so is the use," said Kobe concerning a proposed change to new containers for delivery. "These new containers that we are going to do a 30 day trial on this month could the answer to a few problems we have encountered in the past with the old kind."
Every year, the two senior citizen centers in the county serve 95,000 meals, with 42,000 of the total number going out on trucks to clients.
The old trays cost 26.7 cents each, while the new ones will only cost 23 cents.
The new trays are made of paper board, which is biodegradable.
The trays also come with a sealing machine that allows a clear shrink wrap material to be placed over the food so handlers and the clients can view the meals .
The old trays and cups had cardboard or styrofoam lids.
"This will be particularly important with the cups," stated Kobe. "We put fruit, salads and desserts in those and sometimes there are multiple things on the trucks that are put into those containers. With the styrofoam lids we have had to label each one so things would get mixed up and someone would get two salads instead of one salad and one dessert. With the clear sealing material we will be able to see what is in the container and no labeling time will be needed."
"These do cost less and are environmentally friendly, but for our clients there is a more important reason we will use these if the tests show they are viable," continued the director. "That is so that our clients can use them without fear of problems."
What kind of problems could be associated with a food container?
That answer lies in composition. The old trays have metal in them which can't be used in microwave ovens, one of the favorite ways home bound people heat them up if they don't eat the food initially. The problem has occurred several times and the new trays would work just fine in the microwaves.
"I know there has been some concern because with these new containers because they are made of paper board," said Kobe. "Some worry about putting them in the oven or in toaster ovens which a lot of our seniors have. But these trays can stand temperatures up to 400 degrees. They will be safe to reheat.
Meals on Wheels also only operates on weekdays, so weekend food is delivered on Fridays frozen in the trays.

Product Test: Insta Hang
We are testing the Insta Hang. We bought a package at WalMart for $14.88. It promises to make hanging things as easy as one, two, three.
Tester, Andrew filled up the cartridge and showed us how to work it. You push it on the wall, make sure it's level and push. It really is very easy. There is a built-in level and the hook is very secure once it is in.
Our tester says it is quicker and easier than a hammer and nails and is giving the product two thumbs up.

Moving to Opportunity (MTO) for Fair Housing Demonstration: Interim Impacts Evaluation, Tier 1 Restricted Access Data, 1994-2001 [United States] (ICPSR 31661)
Principal Investigator(s): Orr, Larry, Abt Associates
Moving to Opportunity (MTO) was designed to answer questions about what happens when very poor families have the chance to move out of subsidized housing in the poorest neighborhoods of five very large American cities. MTO was a demonstration program: its approach combined tenant-based housing vouchers with location restrictions and housing counseling. MTO was also a randomized social experiment, carefully designed and rigorously implemented to test the effects of this approach on participating families. The interim evaluation included the collection of data on a wide range of outcomes that could potentially be affected by the MTO intervention. These outcomes fit into 6 study domains: (1) mobility, housing, and neighborhood, (2) adult and child physical and mental health, (3) child educational achievement, (4) youth delinquency and risky behavior, (5) adult and youth employment and earnings, and (6) household income and public assistance receipt. The restricted access data being made available through ICPSR includes many such analytic variables constructed from surveys and administrative data. The Tier 1 data also includes a census tract ID that allows researchers to link other neighborhood-level data.

Study Design: Between 1994 and 1998, the housing authorities in five demonstration sites -- Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York -- worked in partnership with local nonprofit counseling organizations to recruit about 4,600 very low-income families for MTO. Each family was randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) The experimental group was offered housing vouchers that could only be used in low-poverty neighborhoods (where less than 10 percent of the population was poor). Local counseling agencies helped the experimental group members to find and lease units in qualifying neighborhoods. (2) The Section 8 group was offered vouchers according to the regular rules and services of the Section 8 program at that time, with no geographical restriction and no special assistance. (3) The control group members were not offered vouchers but continued to live in public housing or receive other project-based housing assistance. To use their vouchers, families assigned to the experimental group had to move to low-poverty areas. Those in the Section 8 group could use their vouchers to move to neighborhoods of their own choosing. Both groups were required to make these moves within a limited amount of time. In order to retain their vouchers, experimental families were required to stay in low-poverty areas for one year, after which they could move without locational constraints. Random assignment makes the three groups of participating families statistically the same, so that any later significant differences in the neighborhoods, housing, employment, or other aspects of the experimental group's lives in comparison with the control group can be attributed to the MTO intervention. Of course, such differences should only be attributed to MTO if there are social scientific hypotheses suggesting that changing location can influence these outcomes.
Sample: All participants were surveyed (one adult per household). Participants were selected randomly.

Drug trafficking reaches new high in Punjab
Increasing seizures in recent months in Punjab are a pointer that the state - especially its youth - are on a new and dangerous high on drugs. A lot of the trafficking happens across the international border with Pakistan with smugglers using plastic pipes to push heroin packets across the electrified fence or even flinging wrapped packets across the frontier.
The seizure of narcotis worth Rs.100 crore (USD 16 million) by the Punjab Police on Friday and the recovery of nearly 50 kg of heroin, a high-end drug worth Rs.250 crore in the international market, in just one week by the Border Security Force (BSF) have put security agencies on a new alert.
Senior officers in the Punjab Police and the BSF told IANS that the drugs trade was thriving in Punjab, which shares a 553-km-long international border with Pakistan.
"In just 10 months, the BSF has recovered nearly 260 kg of heroin worth Rs.1,300 crore. Drug smugglers in Pakistan and India have become active in recent years," a senior BSF officer told IANS in Amritsar.
In 2012, the BSF had recovered nearly 290 kg of heroin along the Pakistan border. In the first four months of this year, the BSF had recovered nearly 145 kg heroin - half of last year's total seizure.
In 2008, the BSF seized over 100 kg of heroin, in 2009 about 120 kg, in 2010 about 115 kg and in 2011 only around 68 kg.
"The seizures are greater because of the element of surprise in patrolling introduced by the BSF. We are trying to make our patrolling unpredictable for the smugglers," BSF Deputy Inspector General M.F. Farooqui said.
The seizures are being made not only in the border belt. Punjab Police and other agencies have also seized drugs this year worth hundreds of crores of rupees.
"A concerted drive against drug trafficking, particularly in high-grade drugs like heroin, emphedrine, methamphetamine (ice) and even other drugs like poppy husk, have increased seizures manifold," Punjab's Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) (Law and Order) Dinkar Gupta told IANS.
Against a heroin seizure of just over 100 kg in 2011, Punjab Police recovered nearly 280 kg heroin in 2012. In less than 10 months of this year, the seizure is nearly 279 kg, worth Rs.1,395 crore. Earlier this year, the Punjab Police recovered over 28 kg of heroin after busting an international drug cartel operating out of Punjab. A Canadian and a Briton, both of Indian origin, were among over 20 people arrested in the case.
In February, customs officials burnt 445 kg of heroin seized in recent years. The heroin was worth Rs.2,225 crore.
In 2012, customs officials seized over 135 kg of heroin being smuggled through cement bags being imported from Pakistan through the India-Pakistan goods train in just four months (July-Oct). The seizure was valued at over Rs.675 crore in the international market. A whopping 105 kg of heroin worth Rs.525 crore was seized from cement bags in one consignment alone. This led to the cement trade between the two countries being suspended for some time.
The international border in Punjab is barbed-wire fenced and is under the vigil of nearly 135 BSF battalions day and night. The drug network operates along the Afghanistan-Pakistan-India route.
BSF officials say that smugglers from Pakistan use plastic pipes to push heroin packets across the electrified fence or just throw the wrapped packets across, which their Indian counterparts later pick up. The connivance of Pakistani border guards, Pakistan Rangers, with the smugglers cannot be ruled out.

Salaries released for new Texas Tech staff
Salaries have been released for Kliff Kingsbury's new staff at Texas Tech.
According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, Kingsbury's salary pool for assistants is the same as it was during Tommy Tuberville's final season, $2.125 million.
Defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt will be the highest paid assistant making $425,000. Kingsbury and Wallerstedt coached together on Texas A&M's staff in 2012. Wallerstedt coached linebackers for the Aggies, and before that, was a defensive coordinator for a total of nine years, working at Wyoming, North Alabama and Air Force.
Co-defensive coordinator Mike Smith, who was hired from the New York Jets, will make $240,000. Trey Haverty, hired from TCU to be the Red Raiders' safeties and special teams coach, will make $235,000.
Cornerbacks coach Kevin Curtis, who spent the previous three seasons on Sonny Dykes's Louisana Tech staff, will make $205,000. John Scott, who coached defensive line and special teams at Georgia Southern the last three years, will make $175,000.

He compiled a 76-18 record in six seasons, including a 43-4 mark the past three seasons with two trips to the state final.
Morris, considered a rising star in the coaching world, spent 2012 as inside receivers coach under Mike Leach at Washington State. Prior to joining Leach's staff, Morris spent two years as a graduate assistant under Kingsbury at Houston.
Cumbie is the only hold-over from Tuberville's staff. The $210,000 he will make is a a $50,000 raise from 2012.

Lena Horne
Leo Friedman
Lena Horne was the first black performer to be signed to a long-term contract by a major Hollywood studio and went on to achieve international fame as a singer. She died in on May 9, 2010, at the age of 92.
Ms. Horne's voice was not particularly powerful, but it was extremely expressive. She reached her listeners emotionally by acting as well as singing the romantic standards like "The Man I Love" and "Moon River" that dominated her repertory. Ms. Horne might have become a major movie star, but she was born 50 years too early, and languished at MGM in the 1940s because of the color of her skin. She was stuffed into one "all-star" musical after another to sing a song or two that could easily be snipped from the movie when it played in the South, where the idea of an African-American performer in anything but a subservient role in a movie with an otherwise all-white cast was unthinkable.
"The only time I ever said a word to another actor who was white was Kathryn Grayson in a little segment of 'Show Boat' " included in "Till the Clouds Roll By" (1946), a movie about the life of Jerome Kern, Ms. Horne said in an interview in 1990. In that sequence she played Julie, a mulatto forced to flee the showboat because she has married a white man.
In 1947, when Ms. Horne herself married a white man - the prominent arranger, conductor and pianist Lennie Hayton, who was for many years both her musical director and MGM's - the marriage took place in France and was kept secret for three years.
In 1945 the critic and screenwriter Frank Nugent wrote in Liberty magazine that Ms. Horne was "the nation's top Negro entertainer." In addition to her MGM salary of $1,000 a week, she was earning $1,500 for every radio appearance and $6,500 a week when she played nightclubs. She was also popular with servicemen, white and black, during World War II, appearing more than a dozen times on the Army radio program "Command Performance."
Touring Army camps for the U.S.O., Ms. Horne was outspoken in her criticism of the way black soldiers were treated. "So the U.S.O. got mad," she recalled. "And they said, 'You're not going to be allowed to go anyplace anymore under our auspices.' So from then on I was labeled a bad little Red girl."
Ms. Horne later claimed that for this and other reasons, including her friendship with leftists like Paul Robeson and W.E.B. DuBois, she was blacklisted and "unable to do films or television for the next seven years" after her tenure with MGM ended in 1950.
But according to James Gavin's Horne biography, "Stormy Weather," she did she appear frequently on "Your Show of Shows" and other television shows in the 1950s, and in fact "found more acceptance" on television "than almost any other black performer."
Although absent from the screen, she found success in nightclubs and on records. "Lena Horne at the Waldorf-Astoria," recorded during a well-received eight-week run in 1957, reached the Top 10 and became the best-selling album by a female singer in RCA Victor's history.
In the early 1960s Ms. Horne, always outspoken on the subject of civil rights, became increasingly active, participating in numerous marches and protests.
Her last movie role was in 1978 where she played Glinda the Good Witch in "The Wiz," the film version of the all-black Broadway musical based on "The Wizard of Oz." But she never stopped singing. She continued to record prolifically well into the 1990s, for RCA and other labels, notably United Artists and Blue Note. And she conquered Broadway in 1981 with a one-woman show, "Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music," which ran for 14 months and won both rave reviews and a Tony Award.
Lena Calhoun Horne was born in Brooklyn on June 30, 1917. All four of her grandparents were industrious members of Brooklyn's black middle class. Her paternal grandparents, Edwin and Cora Horne, were early members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and in October 1919, at the age of 2, Lena was the cover girl for the organization's monthly bulletin.
By then the marriage of her parents, Edna and Teddy Horne, was in trouble. "She was spoiled and badly educated and he was fickle," Ms. Horne's daughter, Gail Lumet Buckley, wrote in her family history, "The Hornes." By 1920 Teddy had left his job with the New York Department of Labor and fled to Seattle, and Edna had fled to a life on the stage in Harlem. Ms. Horne was raised by her paternal grandparents until her mother took her back four years later.
When she was 16, her mother abruptly pulled her out of school to audition for the dance chorus at the Cotton Club, the famous Harlem nightclub where the customers were white, the barely dressed dancers were light-skinned blacks, Duke Ellington was the star of the show and the proprietors were gangsters. A year after joining the Cotton Club chorus she made her Broadway debut, performing a voodoo dance in the short-lived show "Dance With Your Gods" in 1934.
At 19, Ms. Horne married the first man she had ever dated, 28-year-old Louis Jones, and became a conventional middle-class Pittsburgh wife. Her daughter Gail was born in 1937 and a son, Teddy, in 1940. The marriage ended soon afterward. Ms. Horne kept Gail, but Mr. Jones refused to give up Teddy, although he did allow the boy long visits with his mother.
She had been singing at the Manhattan nightclub Café Society when the impresario Felix Young chose her to star at the Trocadero, a nightclub he was planning to open in Hollywood in the fall of 1941.
Since blacks were not allowed to live in Hollywood, "Felix Young, a white man, signed for the house as if he was going to rent it," Ms. Horne said. "When the neighbors found out, Humphrey Bogart, who lived right across the street from me, raised hell with them for passing around a petition to get rid of me." Bogart, she said, "sent word over to the house that if anybody bothered me, please let him know."
Roger Edens, the composer and musical arranger who had been Judy Garland's chief protector at MGM, had heard the elegant Ms. Horne sing at Café Society and also went to hear her at the Little Troc (the war had scaled Mr. Young's ambitions down to a small club with a gambling den on the second floor). He insisted that Arthur Freed, the producer of MGM's lavish musicals, listen to Ms. Horne sing. Then Freed insisted that Louis B. Mayer, who ran the studio, hear her, too. He did, and soon she had signed a seven-year contract with MGM.
The N.A.A.C.P. celebrated that contract as a weapon in its war to get better movie roles for black performers. Her father weighed in, too. In a 1997 PBS interview, she recalled: "My father said, 'I can get a maid for my daughter. I don't want her in the movies playing maids.' "
Looking back at the age of 80, Ms. Horne said: "My identity is very clear to me now. I am a black woman. I'm free. I no longer have to be a 'credit.' I don't have to be a symbol to anybody; I don't have to be a first to anybody. I don't have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I'd become. I'm me, and I'm like nobody else."

I went to Red Flag back in my Navy flying days....Great time, lessons learned. Went to Top Gun about 4 years later- Now retired, but still have the memories.
Kudos Steven! I'm looking forward to seeing Top Gun in 3D at the IMAX. I can only dream...
Lots of CGI but I suppose it gives you an insiders view! I saw this in the IMAX about four years ago at the Air & Space Museum outside KIAD. Definitely worth the money.
I saw it @ Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum 2 years ago and ill second that its definitely worth seeing!
well done
Very well done. I only wished I could have watched it on IMAX instead of a 17in screen. This can't help but make you proud of our military and allies.
Makes you proud of our men and women serving to protect our freedom. I also agree with Jim.....even though I watched it on a 23' screen in HD this has to be awesome on I-max.
This must be the most riveting film of aerial activities that I have seen. All respect to the men and women who push the throttle through the gate and keep our skies free and safe. This applies to all the nations that are part of this great endeavour.
I would love to see the full movie in IMAX...
the film makes me proud of serving in the navy and trust me as once an operation specialist (radar) it makes me appreciate the naval pilot more
You actives and vets, thank you for your service. All heros in my book. My father served in the Navy during WW II for 3 yrs inj the Pacific. Saw lots of action, and returned home safely. He's now 103 and duing well. Thanks again!
great flying shots, want to see more of this, please.
