Under the Social Security Act, whenever a fee for services is required to be paid to an appointed representative such as an attorney, agent, or other person who represents claimants, we must impose on that person an assessment to cover administrative costs. Such an assessment shall be no more than 6.3 percent of the representative's fee or, if lower, the dollar limit that is subject to increase by the automatic cost-of-living increase.
We derive the dollar limit for December 2014 by increasing the unrounded limit for December 2013, $89.68, by 1.7 percent. This gives a new unrounded limit of $91.20, which we then round to the next lower multiple of $1. The dollar limit effective for December 2014 is thus $91.00.

Midwest Living Review
At The Little Log Cabin in the Woods, there is no doubt that you are off the beaten path. A winding county road at Patoka Lake leads to the owners' drive. An even more winding lane leads to their residence -- your check-in site -- past a peach orchard and through 60-some acres of restored tallgrass prairie fluttering with butterflies and hopping with young rabbits. And a still more winding track a mile away leads through a pine and hardwood forest to the cabin, which dates to the 1830s. Pull up to the front door and turn off the motor and you are submerged in a woodsy sounds of droning cicadas and Mourning Doves in the summer, hammering woodpeckers in the winter. The cabin is a nicely decorated 20x20 one-room affair with steep steps -- almost a ladder -- leading to a sleeping loft. There is electricity, a furnace and air-conditioning, although little cool air reaches the loft, which makes do with a ceiling fan. Attached to the back is a small addition with a modern kitchen and bathroom (shower, no tub). Windows look out into the surrounding woods, and a porch wrapping the front and side steps off into a scrupulously clean hot tub. The visitors' log tells of stillness, encounters with deer, the croaking frogs in the tiny pond -- almost a vernal pool -- outside the front door, and a raccoon that persists in climbing the bird feeder for a snack. One visitor coated the pole with cooking spray and sent the guy muttering back into the woods. For meals you can cook or drive the 20-minute jaunt into French Lick, where there are two beautifully restored old resorts. Indulge in some of the woodsy activities: biking, hiking, horseback riding, fishing at Patoka Lake, skiing at Paoli Peaks (about an hour away). There are books and magazines, board games and playing cards, but no phone, TV or radio except for a weather alert device for storm warnings. There is a two-night minimum rental ($195 per weekend night, $175 weekday, plus a $200 cash deposit). Reservations (not available online) are held by a 50 percent credit card deposit. Checkout time is noon. Children, pets and smoking in or around the cabin are not allowed.

COPENHAGEN (MarketWatch) — European stock markets ended Thursday's session with a broad-based advance as investors largely shrugged off the latest developments surrounding the so-called U.S. fiscal cliff.
Returning following a two-day closure in observance of Christmas, investors also keyed on a well-received Italain debt auction.
The battle among Internet giants
With new products and services expected in 2013, the four big technology giants — Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon — will battle it out over hardware and search. More on what consumers can expect from the big four in the coming year.
Atif Latif, director of trading at Guardian Stockbrokers, said the gains represented the European market "playing catch-up."
He added: "There are a few things that will determine how much more the market will look to rally into the year-end, namely the fiscal cliff developments, sovereign downgrade risks in Europe and the expectations that growth in the U.K. and euro zone is starting to improve."
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.83% squeezed out a fractional gain to close at 280.60.
Shares of Clariant AG CLN, -1.19% scored one of the biggest gains in the pan-European index, jumping 3%. The company said it will sell its textile-chemicals, paper specialties and emulsions business to SK Capital for about 502 million Swiss francs ($550 million). See: SK Capital to buy Clariant textile, paper units
Mining shares also stood out among the gainers, keying off overnight gains for Asian peers. London-listed Rio Tinto PLC RIO, -0.37% RIO, -1.51% RIO, -2.57% rose 0.9%, while BHP Billiton PLC BLT, -0.85% BHP, -1.65% BHP, -2.17% climbed 0.8%. Metals futures were mostly higher.
Overall, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.43% was marginally higher at 5,954.30. Read more about U.K. stocks
Earlier, stock markets had played off speculation that Japan will take further stimulus measures to boost the nation's economy.
Finance Minister Taro Aso said the country's newly-elected government won't abide by a ceiling on bond issuances when it decides on the size of an upcoming supplementary budget, aimed at stimulating to the ailing economy, according to media reports. See: Japan won't abide by bond cap for stimulus: reports
Japanese stocks rallied overnight to the highest level since the March 2011 earthquake. See: Japan stocks hit post-earthquake high, lead Asia.
Fiscal cliff doubts deepen
Meanwhile, financial markets kept close track of developments on Capitol Hill, looking for any signs of progress on settling differences on a U.S. budget deal before a raft of tax hikes and spending cuts takes effect. President Barack Obama was expected back in Washington as attention swung from the House of Representatives to the Senate. See: Obama returns to Washington as cliff nears.

A man was shocked with a stun gun and beaten early Monday in a violent St. Cloud home invasion, according to police.
The attack occurred around 12:30 a.m. Monday at a home on Carolina Avenue in St. Cloud.
According to police, three men entered the home and demanded money from a man inside. During the incident, one of the culprits shocked the resident and struck him several times in the head, causing multiple lacerations, police said.
Officers attempted to stop a vehicle nearby, but one man fled, police said. The man, Cletus Duane Motley, was caught by officers after Motley hit one of them in the head, according to police.
The vehicle drove off, and the other two men have not been located.
Motley was arrested on charges of burglary to an occupied structure, burglary with a battery therein, false imprisonment, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, robbery, grand theft, resisting with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer.
Motley also had outstanding warrants for his arrest.


text: BMW E30 M3 with an LS1/6 Corvette engine & Camaro 6-speed tranny. The LS1/2/6/7 GM engines are an engineering marvel of low weight, high power, emission friendly, easily hotrodable aluminum, plastic and computer. 7. Installing an LS1/2/6/7 engine into an E30 is no more expensive and no more work than installing an M50 or M52 engine. 8. The total weight gain over an E30 with an S52 engine is about 50# but with over twice the hp and torque of the S52. This little 450 hp beast has brought my wildest fantasies to reality. It idles like a well tuned 36 hp VW engine. It has instant throttle response and tremendous, smooth, power with no low end lag. It has a good, civil but obviously not stock, sound, and it looks like an original, pristine, bone-stock '88 M3 inside and out except for lowering, aftermarket wheels/tires, larger exhaust tips and, of course, the engine compartment. Since then i have added a aux 20 gal fuel cell, bbs wheel, 3.5 inch straight exhaust , dyno tuned it, new radiator, front bumper kit, rear wing, 450 horse power. If you paid yourself a buck an hour to build this car you'd be in it $50,000. If you paid someone else to build it you'd probably spend $75,000 or more. The first step was to obtain, in this case rent, one of those foam replicas of a small-block Chevy engine and a tranny and make a trip to the local junkyard that contained a few E30 chassis'. Imagine the looks you'd get walking through a junkyard on a Saturday afternoon with an engine under one arm and a transmission under the other. Anyway, it became obvious that there was plenty of room in an E30 engine bay for a small-block Chevy so I knew the LS1/6 would also fit. A T-56, 6-speed, aluminum Camaro/Firebird tranny bolts-up to the LS1/6, measurements indicated it would fit well, was light weight and the gear ratios were perfect, i.e. 60 mph at 1700 rpm in 6th. The 212 mph at 6000 rpm won't be of much use for me.

Launch site ready for first Galileo launch Zveřejněno:: 11/04/2011, Poslední aktualizace: 13/04/2011
Galileo's first two IOV (in-orbit validation) operational satellites will be launched in the second half of 2011. The IOV phase consists of qualifying the system through tests and the operation of two experimental satellites (already in orbit) and a reduced constellation of four IOV operational satellites and their related ground infrastructure. The two Galileo IOV satellites will be launched aboard a Soyuz rocket from the European Space Port in French Guyana (South America). The Soyuz launch site has been certified to proceed with the launch campaign. The launch site is almost identical to other Soyuz sites in Kazakhstan and Russia, though adapted to conform to European Safety Standards.
The launch of the first two operational satellites is scheduled for the second half of 2011, followed by the launch of the third and fourth operational satellites in the first half of 2012.
On 1st April, the European Space Agency confirmed (following qualification by the ELS) that the complex for the Soyuz launch was now ready for its first campaign and transferred responsibility to Arianespace.
The most visible difference at the launch site is the mobile gantry of the Soyuz launch complex which stands at 45 metres tall. It provides a protected environment as payloads are installed on the vertical launcher.

MASSENA - The former General Motors Powertrain site in Massena could get a marketing push through the CSX Select Sites Program.
U.S. Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand said Friday that she is urging the CSX Corporation to choose Massena for its Select Site Program, which would be another advantage marketing the property.
According to a press release issued by Sen. Gillibrands office, the Select Sites Program certifies rail-served sites that are capable of accommodating larger, rail-served industrial end-users. CSX Select Sites are the first premium certified rail-sites focused on industrialization.
Theyre considering placing the former GM site on that list. Its another level of marketing through the entire CSX service area that will be specifically tailored to companies looking for sites to develop. Its a resource for companies, Massena Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said.
Its primarily a marketing effort, according to St. Lawrence County Legislator Anthony J. Arquiett, D-Helena, chairman of the North Country Redevelopment Task Force.
In order to receive the designation, sites like the former GM location will have to comply with certain criteria such as land control, infrastructure and utility availability, environmental and cultural reviews, wetlands delineation, appropriate zoning and entitlement, rail serviceability and proximity to highways or interstates.
The 217.2-acre property sits in close proximity to easily accessible transportation facilities. The deep-water port in Ogdensburg provides the facility with direct access to Northeastern United States and Canada, and power is readily available through the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project.
I believe these assets make this site fully capable of accommodating larger, rail-served industrial end-users, positioning it as a perfect fit for CSXs Certified Rail-Served Sites Select Site Program. If successful in securing this designation, the Massena site will be even better positioned to attract new industrial operations, with CSXs program further helping communities prepare properties to compete for new investment and job creation, Sen. Gillibrand said in her letter to CSX Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Ward.
The CSX Site application was submitted by the Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response (RACER) Trust, which has been actively working with the Massena community to repurpose and redevelop the site.
Sen. Gillibrand, in urging the CSX Corporation to consider adding the location to their program, said the site would be perfect for the needs of companies.
Recent industrial developments and close proximity to Northeastern and Canadian markets makes Massena a qualified candidate for the CSX Select Site designation, she said in the release.
RACER Trust has been an integral part of demonstrating the north countrys commitment to industrial development and expansion. This designation will highlight the regions assets to potential new companies that could call the former Powertrain Plant site a new home, bringing more work and jobs for the areas well trained industrial workforce, the senator added.
Mr. Gray said he was thankful for the assistance Massena has received in marketing the site.
This truly great news for Massena. On behalf of our residents and the town council, I would like to thank the folks at RACER trust for their hard work promoting this site and our community. This property is a great site with lots of development potential. Were anxious to show what Massena has to offer to a future developer, he said.
Mr. Arquiett agreed.
Theyre a great partner. Kudos to Supervisor Gray. We pursued and wrote letters of support for this effort to help RACER with the process. It was evident that not only was RACER in support, but also the surrounding communities that realize the benefits of this opportunity. We appreciate the commitment of Senator Gillibrand, RACER Trust and CSX, he said.
Some of the infrastructure at the site now makes the site very opportune for somebody to set up shop. This is a great opportunity to highlight the many benefits of doing business in the Massena area, and we support RACERs efforts wholeheartedly. RACER has been a strong advocate and partner for economic development and jobs in the north country, and a CSX Select designation for the former GM property is an important step toward strengthening our local economy, he said.

Participate in a Research StudyFind out about currently available research study opportunities »
The Kinsey Reports, 1948 and 1953Selected data and original interview kits from these two major studies by Alfred Kinsey are available online.
Meet the ResearchersKinsey faculty research interests, Kinsey Institute Research Fellows and affiliated faculty, and interviews with sex researchers about their work
Published StudiesFindings from completed and ongoing studies on our Publications page »
When Dr. Alfred Kinsey and his team conducted interviews in the 1940s and 1950s, they were recording a taxonomy of human sexuality - documenting the range and variability of human sexual behavior in the U.S.
Today's research at The Kinsey Institute seeks to find underlying answers to help understand why people engage in sex, the challenges of reproduction, the range of problems people experience, and how to offer effective interventions.
Our research questions are informed by developments in psychology, neuroscience, biology, gender studies, sociology and other fields, and reflect a new emphasis on the complexities of sexual interest, behavior and sexual health.
NOTE: Please be aware of fake studies advertised in online forums or chatrooms as Kinsey Institute studies. If you ever have a question about any study posting, before you participate or share personal information please contact us at email@example.com or 812-855-7686.
International Studies of Environmental Factors
A ground-breaking study into the variability in women's reproductive functioning in rural Bolivia examines the changes in hormones and health indicators that can affect women as they undergo the transition to menopause, called peri-menopause.
A joint team of researchers from The Kinsey Institute, Montana State University, and the University of Greenland have begun a 3-year study of challenges facing Greenlanders including reproductive choices and health in the face of climage changes.
Sexual Behavior and the Immune System
Does the presence or absence of sexual activity influence our immune response? How does the immune system interact with reproductive activities? Do sex hormones play a role in activating or alleviating conditions like depression?
Research is underway examining sexual activity and immune response in pre-menopausal women across the menstrual cycle.
Intimate Relationships and Couples
Intimate relationships and couples present complex and multifaceted questions to researchers, from sexual satisfaction in newlywed couples to the differing motivations for infidelity between men and women.
Researchers want to know how factors like cultural differences and political views can impact attitudes and behaviors in dating and long term relationships, and to see how relationship and sexual satisfaction can change as couples age.
Researchers also investigate changes in relationship patterns like the emergence of hook-up culture in young adults, and attitudes towards dating in America.
Sexual Decision-Making
Working from an understanding of the Dual Control Model of Sexual Response, developed at The Kinsey Institute, researchers continue to investigate what factors influence how and when we become sexually excited, and why individuals make the sexual choices they do.Recent studies have examined the influence of alcohol, emotional states, and sexual compulsivity on sexual risk-taking behaviors. Studies have also explored the differing motives between men and women when committing infidelity and patterns of sexual arousal*, as well as the sexual decision-making process in young, heterosexual men. Some researchers are also working with brain imaging technology to understand better what areas of the brain are involved in sexual attraction.
Definitions of Sex
Several studies have explored which sexual activities people include in their definition of "sex," looking for possible differences across culture, gender, and age group.
The findings from these studies have implications for sexual research, and sexual health organizations, as well as for medical practitioners, clinicians and other health care providers for whom it is important to understand exactly what people mean as they talk about "having sex."
Condom Use Errors and Problems
Studies have demonstrated that many individuals use condoms both inconsistently and incorrectly, putting these "condom users" at the same risk for STIs and unintended pregnancy as non-users. Men have been found to start intercourse before putting on a condom, or to remove the condom during sex and then resume. Some men reporting erectile difficulties have been found to forgo condom use altogether, fearful that they would be unable to have intercourse.
Researchers continually conduct studies to determine the reasons behind these errors in condom usage, the barriers preventing correct condom usage, and the behaviors leading individuals to habitually forgo condoms. Studies such as these lend important insight to the development of instructional interventions to improve correct condom use. By helping people to use condoms consistently and correctly, such studies could have enormous impact on HIV and STI prevention efforts.
Women's Sexuality & Wellbeing
Sex researchers are continually gaining greater understanding as to how the body and the mind work together, both to the detriment and to the healing of sexual function. Kinsey researchers investigating female sexuality target special problems, such as cancer survivors, and the effects of sexual violence on women and girls .
This research is also meant to reach and aid women and men of various ages and ethnicities, who are struggling with physical and emotional barriers that affect their sexual lives and relationships.
Research examining chronic conditions resulting from sexual consequences and side effects of long-term oral contraceptive use has also being undertaken.
Role of Oxytocin in Postpartum Depression and Behavior
Postpartum depression may affect 20% of new mothers, though the stigma is heavy and many women suffer without any help, understanding or intervention.
Kinsey researchers are investigating the hormone oxytocin's protective quality against postpartum depression, and a possible way to intervene with hormonal applications.
In another study, researchers are identifying how oxytocin affects women's responses to infants and sexual interest.

'Twilight' Hunk In New Matchbox Twenty Video
October 28, 2012 6:06 PM
The guys of Matchbox Twenty are barely in their latest video. But don't worry; you get one of the Twilight hunks instead.
The clip for "Put Your Hands Up," the second single off of NORTH, is a steamy love at first site story that has Twilight vamp, Kellan Lutz searching for the girl of his dreams.
This dream girl is played by Australian actress Sharni Vinson, (Step Up 3D, Blue Crush 2) and from the looks of this video, she's a pretty good kisser.
Does Kellan get the girl? Well you'll have to watch and see.

It's back!
The Doctor and his new companion Clara crashed back onto our screens last night.
But what did you think?
Current Episode: Rings of Akhaten
Series 6 Thread: http://www.wallaceandgromit.com/forum/read/47419/9
After "something awesome" on her first TARDIS trip, Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman) is whisked away to an alien bazaar but both she and her new Time Lord chum (Matt Smith) soon find themselves caught up in an ancient ritual that could have devastating consequences for the universe...
Doctor Who continues on BBC One on Saturday (April 6) at 6.15pm.
Episode Preview
Next Episode: Cold War
And one more Reserve
Why does the pic say akhaten and u said akhenten? Which one is it?
Doctor who is epic, been a fan for many years now and I think its in its prime at the moment, really looking forward to more episodes
I thought The Bells of Saint John was ace! The storyline was great too!
Whoops typo!
What do we think of Clara?
I think shes gonna be cool.
It was so good! I loved the Jammy Dodgers bit...yum... *drools*
Ehhh, Clara was ok.
I enjoyed it, if the series carries on like this then we'll be in for one of the best in a long time
I think it had a very different feeling to it.
David Tennant and Billie Piper to return for 50th Anniversary
The BBC has today revealed some of the all-star cast that will mark the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. David Tennant and Billie Piper will join current Doctor and companion, Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman, while John Hurt (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Alien, Harry Potter) will also co-star.
Last seen as the Doctor on January 1st 2010, this will be the first time Tennant has reprised his role as the Tenth Doctor. During his reign as the Time Lord, Tennant appeared in three series as well as several specials. He was first revealed as the Doctor in the 2005 series finale, 'The Parting of the Ways'.
Meanwhile Billie Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler for two series following the reboot in 2005, will appear in the show for the first time since featuring in Tennant's last episode, 'The End of Time' in 2010.
Full story- http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/DOCTOR-WHO-ANNOUNCES-ALL-STAR-CAST-FOR-50th-ANNIVERSARY
omg I love doctor who!
the first episode was ok, but it wasnt so good in my opinion cause there werent many monstery scary actiony bits!
clara sounds brill.
Oh my gosh, the last episode was amazing! It's such a cool idea...
I've got to admit the last series seriously spooked me out at points. :s
P.S. yeah, I'm back... although I'm pretty rubbish, I want to stay but I'll probably be gone soon.
I think its great they're bringing back the ice warriors, considering they're one of the best classic dr who monsters
I was very dissapoonted personally with tonights episode, it was just not exciting and didnt have a good enough story. Probably in my top 3 of the worst dr who episodes since it returned in 2005.
top 3:
love and monsters
rings of akhaten
A christmas carol
what did everyone else think of it?
The Rings of Akhaten wasn't as good as The Bells of Saint John. The story was more complicated than last week's. The ritual storyline was confusing. At least we saw a glimpse of Clara's life, I wonder what her story is...
OMG I have a theory!!!
look at this photo!
clara is the doctors daughter because they both have the same chair!
the doctors daughter could regenerate and turn into Clara and time travel so she could turn into the Victorian Christmas one!!
Do you really not like Love and Mosters, Techno? It's like my favourite episode! The absorbalof is SOOOO cool!
I kinda like complicated storylines. It makes it more interesting. I loved the latest episode, the script was great, the little girl was a great actor, the aliens were just AWESOME, although the songs weren't very good. :P
Love and monsters was awful,
the abzorbaloff was a bit stupid and the actual kid's design looked better
it seemed like too much of a joke
the bit at the end with the slab was ridiculous
and the dr and rose were barely even in it
it is my least favourite episode of all time, it was just terrible. I have seen it many times but still feel the same about it, i have it on dvd but thats only because its on the same disc as the impossible planet and the satan pit which i loved.
i have watched dr who since it restarted in 2005 and have been a huge fan ever since, i own almost every episode since then on dvd, im only missing three specials i think. So i have been through all the episodes many times and in my opinion that was the worst.
I'm affraid to say that I didn't really like that one savey! :S
This episode was alright it wasn't awful but was forgettable a bit similar to The Beast Below a couple of years ago. Love & Monsters was worse that episode was just ...
Anyway Clara's mother died on 5th March 2005 the date of the Auton Invasion in Rose
50th Anniversary shooting continues in London!
Londoners were treated to the sight of a flying TARDIS swooping over Trafalgar Square this morning as Matt Smith and the team were in town shooting more scenes for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special.
Hey guys!
If you are ever on the Shaun Forum don't forget to vist the SJA club to discuss Doctor Who!
Its been going strong since 2009 and has over 50 pages
I'm alone then. Ahhhh well. I'm not gonna argue with people about this, you're all entitiles to your own opinion. I just like funny episodes of Doctor Who (as well as most of the others) because loads of episodes now are scary and I'm quite squeamish, so… urm… Yeah, I don't really like scary things. I get scared easily.But I still love Doctor Who! BEST PROGRAMME EVER!
OK, wait, I'm confused. I've seen Bells of Saint John, Rings of Akhaten, and Cold War. Was Clara in anything before that? I am missing something here...
Yea, she was in the christmas episode and asylum of the daleks
Timmythesheep needs to update this thread soon
Oh ok thanks
Hide looks good and I am looking forward to journey to the centre of the tardis!
So do we know why Clara was in Asylum as a sort of time traveller/totally different person then she seems to be when she becomes a full time companion? I haven't seen the Xmas special yet.
No we do not, I expect that to be in the series finale or even the fiftieth special
Clara story will be amazing
Yeah I am excited!
What did everybody think of the last episode, hide?
i thought it was fairly good personally
Yeah, it was really good. I thought it was the best since The Bells of Saint John. The story was really good, however I wanted to see more of the monsters/aliens at the end.
is there a book of doctor who?
If you mean fiction novels then yes there's loads, if you mean about the whow and how they made it amd stuff then yes there's some of them too
Honestly I didn't really like this last episode. I felt that Clara is getting poorly scripted...
Im not too big a fan of clara at the moment myself, i only like her in some episodes
is there a relation of doctor who and james bond?
What do you mean?
if you mean what i think then no
Does anyone know why the TARDIS got redesigned this year? Do people like it?
did they got together in a film?
maybe a joke film but otherwise no
I quite like the new tardis, however i did like it how it was not sure why it got redesigned. Maybe they just thought new companion, new tardis?
that's what i thought also. I quite like the doctors home language on top.
Ye me too, what i do really think is good is how it is a mixture of several different previous tardises
Anyone else realise this
I didn't realise that, but now you mention it...
Otherwise, I think the episode was really good. The suspense was great and the telepathic person (can't remember her name) was well cast. But the end was a bit abrupt and there were loads of things that needed to be tied up. I was a bit disappointed by the end really.

View of Tehran from near the cache location
Stone Park Jamshidieh (GC2QDY1) is one of only 32 active geocaches in all of Iran. The country boasts the combined size of the western U.S. states of California, Oregon , Washington, Idaho, Arizona, and Nevada . With just over 30 geocaches in the entire country, that's only one geocache for about every 50,000 square kilometers (31,000 square miles).
The geocache "Stone Park Jamshidieh" helps make up in quality what Iran lacks in geocache quantity. The geocache delivers adventurers to a location of deep importance. The stone park was once a private garden. It's now a public park with restaurants, a zoo, and a small lake. But the payoff for many comes when they look down on the city below. The view shimmers at night with countless city lights.
Karolos hid the cache just over a year ago. He writes, "The stone park Jamshidieh, situated in the north of Teheran is one of the most beautiful parks in Tehran. From a small lake inside the park you can easily walk up a stairway to the summit up to 2100 m." The summit offers the view over the city.
Geocachers near the cache
Geocachers logged the first find on the geocache four days after it was published. They used the treasure hunting experience to introduce others to geocaching, "Together with two Iranian cache newcomers — Leila and Said — we started our first caching tour in Iran. Fortunately, the traffic was not bad. The cache itself was well hidden but not too difficult. Thus, we managed our first FTF."

Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy and/or Surgery in Treating Young Patients With Adrenocortical Tumor

- How to Read a Study Record
This phase III clinical trial is studying how well cisplatin-based chemotherapy and/or surgery works in treating young patients with stage I, stage II, stage III or stage IV adrenocortical cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving it after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
Stage I Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Stage II Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Stage III Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Stage IV Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Drug: doxorubicin hydrochloride
Procedure: conventional surgery
Drug: cisplatin

- Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: At 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The model used for comparison will be an exponential model with a constant failure rate of 0.053 (stratum I), 0.347 (stratum II), 0.602 (stratum III and IV) per year for the first two years and 0 after that. The one-sample one-sided log-rank test comparing the observed data with the hypothesized model (Woolson, 1981) of size 0.05 will be used to assess whether the data are consistent with the target models. Since this test has independent increments, the method of Lan and DeMets will be used to derive the p-values for testing procedure.
- Toxicity Associated with mitotane using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Weekly for up to 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Toxicity Associated with Chemotherapy using NCI CTCAE v. 4.0 [ Time Frame: Assessed up to 182 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Feasibility and Complications Associated with Radical Adrenalectomy and RLND [ Time Frame: Up to 1 month after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Any patient who dies because of surgery or has a grade 3 or 4 toxicity possibly, probably or likely related to surgery will be considered as having experienced a surgical complication. The complication rate will be estimated as the proportion of evaluable patients that have a complication.
- Frequency of Tumor Spillage and Lymph Node Involvement [ Time Frame: At upfront surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The percent of patients who have tumor spillage, and the associated 95% confidence interval, will be the indices of this outcome. Similar considerations apply for the determination of the proportion of patients with lymph node involvement.
- Incidence and Type of Germline TP53 Mutations in Non-Brazilian Children and Children from Southern Brazil by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing and Affymetrix Gene Chip analysis [ Time Frame: At baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The proportion of patients in each subpopulation will be compared using the exact conditional test of proportions of size 0.05. The power of this test is dependent on the number of patients from whom blood can be obtained as well as the frequency of the relevant mutation in each group.
- Molecular alterations and embryonal markers in children with ACT. [ Time Frame: At time of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

About this Artist
Michael Williams
"My photography is powered by sweat and joy. Perhaps it can remind us of the delicate and powerful nature of our land and ourselves. "
Michael Williams believes that his photography can tell a story--sometimes his own story, but mostly the story of the beautiful land and people around him. With simplicity and grace, he turns his camera towards the human form and the remarkable landscapes of the Himalayas and the Sierras, from the soft meadows and snowy trees to the steep hills and exhilarating descents. He hopes to transport and even transform the viewer through his work.
Williams uses digital and medium format cameras and transparency film. He scans his images on a high-quality Hasselblad scanner, then uses a wide format Epson printer with Ultrachrome inks and Epson Luster paper to create museum-grade, archival prints.
Williams attended Sonoma State College, where he nearly completed his teaching credentials before overseas travel took him away. After traveling and photographing in the Himalayas, he worked as a backcountry winter ranger in Yosemite. He also owned Albany Arts Gallery in the Bay Area for 21 years, during which time he became a Master Printer and photography instructor.

What do people from the church of the FSM think? Is it possible that the FSM took me there?
Anonodon is a place where I used to go to when he was a kid at night time. There also used to be a vortex behind my friend's house when I was a little kid.
Anonodon is another planet.
In Anonodon, the corn grows already cooked, buttered and salted.
People live in giant oreo cookies. They have to eat out their living quarters when they move into a new home.
Some of the trees have diamonds for leaves, and they fall occaisionally, so diamonds are plentiful.
In the ocean, the crabs are made of pure gold. They are caring and considerate creatures. If you drop a diamond in the ocean, they will retrieve it for you. You can also lift the lids of the crabs and use them as ashtrays.
The people have magical powers, and they never die. On one side of the ocean people omit a red aura when they use their magic. On the other side, they omit a blue aura. Unfortunately, the two sides have been at war for ages, but no one seems to die in these magical wars. They are immortal.
I also have a completely unrelated question. What does the FSM say we should do with the worshippers of Maloch?

LOWVILLE As expected, Lewis County legislators moved forward Tuesday with plans to add all-terrain-vehicle trails near Constableville and alter the ATV permit program.
Lawmakers added 11.1 miles of off-road trails in the town of West Turin to the countys ATV system and set public hearings for 5 p.m. Tuesday on proposed laws opening more than four miles of Byrons Corners, Highmarket and Mackay roads segments to ATV traffic.
An initial plan legislators rejected in July featured only 7.8 miles of off-road trails and a connection between Byrons Corners and Highmarket roads that has been eliminated.
Lawmakers also set a public hearing for Tuesday on a proposed law changing the ATV permit fee to $65 for the first machine and $20 for each additional machine, eliminating any club member discount.
Initial permits now cost $40 for an ATV owned by a member of a club in the Tug Hill Adirondack ATV Association and $80 for a machine owned by a nonmember.

MASSENA The St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corp. announced Thursday that the Dwight D. Eisenhower Visitors Center at the Eisenhower Lock will open for the season today.
But at least for now, the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce wont have a presence with its gift shop.
The Visitors Center will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, including weekends, through Labor Day.
It normally opens on Memorial Day but was delayed this year for facility maintenance to repair damage caused by winter weather. In the interim, visitors were asked to view ships from the Eisenhower Lock North Side Observation Area, which remains open through the year.
The repairs included replacement of the main buildings roof and repairs to the ground floor of the center that suffered water damage.
They had major ice and snow damage and had to wait for repair. Its been rectified. The Seaway did a good job. They did what they had to do, chamber Executive Director Michael J. Gleason said.
The opening delay, however, meant calls to the chamber office from visitors.
Weve had a lot of calls from people wondering what was going on. People are coming down for day trips and wondering why the lock store was not open. People are coming from all over the place, he said.
Now, Seaway officials say, visitors can watch commercial and cruise ship transits from around the world from an observation deck.
Guides are available to provide additional information to tourists.
Seaway officials said hundreds of ships from all over the world go through the St. Lawrence Seaway annually, carrying a wide variety of cargoes including grains, iron ore, coal, steel, stone, steel slabs and project cargoes.
Up-to-date information on estimated vessel transit times is available by calling 769-2422 for a voice recording of that days projected lockage schedule. Additional information is on the website at http://wdt.me/wK5mkM. That map updates every 15 minutes with details on the ships in transit within the Seaway system.
Under security measures that were implemented after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, visitors will be asked to leave all packages, bags and backpacks in their vehicles. Any items that have to be carried into the viewing area must be presented for inspection or for checking by a metal detecting wand.
While visitors will be able to view the ships, they may not find the chambers gift shop open for business.
Mr. Gleason said it boils down to funding for the employees to run the shop. He said the chamber sent a letter to Seaway officials explaining that it would not be able to run the store because were short of funds to run it.

Send $45,000 to LIOS – WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME!12/03/2012
The LIOS School of Saybrook University relies on alumni to help keep our doors open. No matter what your current contribution level is, you can easily increase your gift by almost $45,000 – at no cost to you. How?
Send a student to LIOS
Our statistics show that the vast majority of students who attend and complete one of our programs, don't stumble upon us in an online search or pick up our flyer at a college fair. They seek us out because they know someone who's been to LIOS, perhaps a friend, a family member, or a colleague. They see a skillful consultant at work, a therapist opens up their hidden potential, or they observe a transformation in a friend and they want to know where it comes from. Having experience with a LIOS graduate trumps every other recruitment tool we have. Even a single conversation with a LIOS graduate can plant a seed and, and sooner or later LIOS will reap the bounty.

Wanted: Stories about LIOS Graduates Making A Difference07/25/2012
By Dan Leahy
Associate Dean of LIOS Graduate College
With the proliferation of polarities rampant today, I'm rather fond of some of the "flash mob" videos that periodically show up on You Tube, particularly the ones in public spaces (the commons) that involve orchestras and choirs playing a human classic to the delights of the gathering citizens. To me this is an example of the human potential beyond our limitations: A moment that transcends our differences. Here's the link to the most recent example that came from my daughter, Chelsea: http://bit.ly/Onvuc4
While I've never, yet, participated in one of these celebrations of Life, I've often imagined what it would be like. Well, if truth be told, I've actually wondered what it would be like to take part in a LIOS-inspired flash mob.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate general manager
For years I have heard people say that anymore they are having a hard time telling the difference between the seasons. Winter seems to run into spring and fall and summer seems to do the same.
But I'm not talking about the weather; I'm talking about sports.
If you have a good cable or satellite hookup right now you can watch baseball, football, basketball, hockey and soccer all in the same evening.
Here are some problems with what we are witnessing as far as I am concerned.
First the World Series. I can see the day when the final games of the annual ritual are played on Thanksgiving weekend. What a great way to celebrate Americana. It seems to get later every year with the boys of summer also becoming the toddlers of spring and the old men of the fall.
Heck, why do we just let 'em use an orange ball and play in January too, particularly in places like Milwaukee.
Football. It used to be when you went to a football game you were prepared for cool weather. For half the season now, you have to wear shorts and a tank top just to stay cool. Alcohol is served to cool you down early in the season and to warm you up in December.
Basketball. As much of a fan as I am of this game, I am not enough of a fan to see it played 365 days a year. Right now if you follow the minor leagues, the NBA, the college game and the WNBA you can literally find a game being played somewhere all the time. I blame some of this on the Olympics. James Naismith invented the sport for wintertime, but the Olympics put it in the games as a summer sport.
Of course in the pros when you pay the guys more than the national debt for bouncing a ball, you had better get your money's worth.
Soccer. This is one of those sports in which you must admire the players. They don't worry about a little rain or playing in Green Bay in late November. They run around with no protective equipment and sometimes few clothes regardless of the weather. It still remains mainly a summer and early fall sport despite the fact the pros have gotten their hands on it.
Hockey. Of all the sports to remain the truest to it's natural season, hockey seems newer and fresher now. But that might just be because no one had played it at the highest professional level for almost a year and a half until the last couple of weeks.
Maybe that's the way to get these sports back into their natural seasons. Lock out the players for a couple of years and then things will settle down.
Or by that time they might all become professional poker players.

5 Essential Parenting Tips from experts who know
1. Make sure your kids know cyberbullying is wrong and why.
It is critical to frame how harmful cyberbulling can actually be. Parents should communicate and encourage their children to understand the perils of posting cruel information online and what how it is not the best way to handle a situation. Children "also tend to think that what happens digitally 'doesn't count' and that digital abuse doesn't hurt."
2. Take an interest in your kids' online behavior.
Today, children are far more tech savvy then their parents and it shows. Parents need to spend some time getting familiar with the new "playground," the new "colloquialisms" of the new social world that their children are beginning to spend so much time in. Parents should get involved in their children's online behavior: "make sure your kids know how you expect them to behave toward others online; ask them how they communicate with their friends digitally."
3. Check school policies on cyberbullying.
"Contact your child's teacher or a school social worker or administrator and find out whether there is an official policy on cyberbullying. If there is one, read it and discuss it with your kids. If there isn't a written policy in place, ask about how cyberbullying is handled and whether there are any plans to create an official policy."
4. Set guidelines about cell-phone usage.
"Many parents give their kids cell phones, so they can stay in closer contact with them. But that's typically not the reason kids want cell phones. Rather, kids use them to surf the Web, send text messages to friends, update their social-networking status, and share pictures and videos.
5. Use Parental Monitoring Software
Parental monitoring software like WebWatcher, and WebWatcher Mobile can help ensure that cyberbullying on your child's PC is a non-issue. Check out this short video clip for more details:

I think that it would be a good idea to have some kind of visibility of help threads that have no replies. I know that sometimes, I think I may have an idea for fixing/helping with someone's posted issue, but I am too busy at the moment to answer. Later on, I forget or the thread gets buried.
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.
Well I i did a little Google search and found a hack that's visible in the Menu Column "No reply threads". Maybe someone could come up with a shorter name.
It is only visible to registered users. Let me know if it works OK.
The advanced search allows you to search for threads with 0 replies too, but the Menu Column link should make it more convenient.

With the completion of the 2012-13 slate, Laura Travis wrapped up her 21st season as head coach of the University of Delaware women's tennis team and 20th season as men's tennis head coach.
Travis, the former Laura LeRoy, has enjoyed nothing but success with both teams since taking over the women's reigns from B.J. Ferguson in 1992-93 and the men's head position from UD Hall of Fame member Roy Rylander in 1993-94. She served as Rylander's assistant coach in 1992-93.
Her Delaware men's teams have won at least 10 matches in all but five seasons and her overall record is 213-168 (.559), including a 15-5 record in 1996-97 when the Blue Hens captured the America East title. The win marked just the second conference title in school history and the first since 1974.
She also led the Blue Hens to a second place finish in 1995-96 and semifinal appearances in 1995, 1998, and 1999. Travis was named America East Men's Tennis Coach of the Year twice, in 1996, and 1997.
On the women's side, Travis has led the Blue Hens to a 21-year record of 249-125 (.666), which includes establishing school records for wins in three different seasons when the Hens posted marks of 17-0, 17-1, and 17-9.
She led the Blue Hens to eight straight America East Tournament second place finishes in 1994-2001 and was the league Coach of the Year in 1994-95, 1995-96, and 1999-2000. Most recently, Travis has led the Blue Hens to nine consecutive 10-plus win seasons.
The 2012-13 squad, with just one senior on the roster, advanced to the CAA Semifinals for the first time in school history and were led by three all-conference honorees.
Her 1996-97 team went undefeated with a 17-0 mark and her 1997-98 squad completed a school record 42-match win streak which tied the longest win streak by any women's athletic team in UD history.
Prior to returning to her alma mater as an assistant coach, Travis served as head coach for boy's and girl's tennis at nearby A.I. duPont High School.
Travis, the first woman to coach a men's team at the University of Delaware, has been named conference Coach of the Year five times, twice in men's and three times in women's tennis. In 1995, she was named the United States Professional Tennis Association Middle Atlantic Division Women's College Coach of the Year. In addition, she was the USPTA Women's Open Player of the Year in 1995 and the USPTA Rookie of the Year in 1994.
A 1989 University of Delaware honors graduate in physical education, Travis was one of the all-time great tennis players in Blue Hen history during her career in 1985-89.
A native of Wilmington, Del. and an All-State player at Tower Hill School, she was a four-time East Coast Conference champion in singles and doubles and led the Blue Hens to East Coast Conference team titles in 1987 and 1988. She was voted team Most Valuable Player all four years. She was inducted into the University of Delaware Athletics Hall of Fame in November 2001.
While at Delaware, she set school records for singles wins in a season (22 in 1988-89) and a career (73-12) and doubles wins in a career (26-9 with Christie Ellis). She was the 1988-89 ECC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for women's tennis and was a CoSIDA/GTE District II All-Academic second team selection.
In December, 2003, Travis was named the national winner of the United States Tennis Association and International Tennis Association Campus Recreation Award on December 3. She has been instrumental in the implementation of several programs geared to increasing tennis participation on the Delaware campus. Over the last six years, she has implemented USA Tennis Free for All, USA Tennis 1-2-3 and USA Team tennis programs on her campus. All these programs are related to the USA Tennis Program Pathway, which stresses "trying, learning, playing and competing" aspects of picking up and playing a sport.
Travis earned her masters degree in physical education and sports psychology from Delaware in 1998. She and her husband Gerry, reside in Newark with their daughters, Brooke and Chase.
