Clinical/Scientific Implications
This laryngeal preservation trial is somewhat unique in that it includes a mix of larynx and hypopharynx patients. The goal of the trial was the achievement of a 50% functional laryngeal preservation rate. Though there were more T3-T4 tumors in the TPF arm, more patients in this group (80% vs. 67%) were able to move on to RT. To be sure, an 80% rate of potential larynx preservation in the TPF arm in such advanced tumor patients borders on astounding, and is certain to generate skepticism as to its validity. More patients in the TPF arm did achieve functional larynx preservation at the 3-year mark, and the authors should be commended for applying a definition of "functional" larynx preservation in lieu of any sort of larynx preservation, functional or not.
Though there were significantly more responses in the TPF arm, this did not translate into an OS or DFS as of yet; however, the curves appear to diverge at 18 months in favor of TPF, such that differences between the groups with respect to OS and DFS may become statistically significant with further follow-up. Fortunately, there were no chemotherapy-related deaths in either arm, and similar acute toxicity rates were observed between the 2 groups; late toxicity reporting remains pending.
It is somewhat problematic to compare this study with previous laryngeal preservation trials, as the patient inclusion and treatment criteria are different (hypopharynx patient inclusion and stipulation of functional larynx). Additionally, the protocol specified RT alone following induction treatment as opposed to concurrent chemoradiation which might affect patient outcome.
Ultimately, however, the literature has shown an improvement in response rates with TPF that has not as of yet translated into an increase in locoregional control. Nevertheless, TPF appears to be the standard of care as an induction regimen in head & neck cancer.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study, conducted at the University of Mali in the capital city of Bamako, will investigate how the body reacts to infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the organism that causes tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a major global health problem whose solution requires development of an effective vaccine. However, incomplete understanding of how immunity to MTB is acquired and measured limits vaccine development. This study will focus on certain immune system cells - CD4+ T cells - that appear to be very important in fighting tuberculosis.
Individuals 16 years of age and older who have or have not been exposed to either tuberculosis or HIV, or both, may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood tests, review of medical records and laboratory tests, and, if medically indicated, a chest x-ray. Individuals whose medical records indicate a past history of tuberculosis or a positive test for exposure to tuberculosis will have a tuberculin skin test. For this test, a few drops of fluid are placed under the skin to see if the immune system reacts to the substance, indicating previous exposure to MTB.
Participants will come to the University of Mali 10 times over a 1-year period - 7 times within the first 3 months of the study and then once every 3 months until 1 year after enrollment. At each study visit, they will be asked about their medical history and will donate 75 milliliters (about 1/3 cup) of blood, totaling 830 mL over the entire year. More blood may be requested if the participant's immune system reacts strongly to MTB in laboratory tests. No more than 450 mL (2 cups) of blood would be collected every 6 weeks; this amount is the Red Cross limit for regular blood donations every 6 weeks.
The blood samples will be used for tests that measure the level of immunity to tuberculosis. Genetic tests may be performed on blood cells to help interpret special tests of immunity. Because HIV-infected people are included in the study, the findings may also provide information on how HIV renders vulnerability to opportunistic infections, including tuberculosis.
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Pilot Study of CD4+ T Cell Immune Responses to Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|October 2003
Tuberculosis is a daunting global health problem. The solution requires development of an effective vaccine. But incomplete understanding of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) immunity-how it is acquired, how it is measured-limits vaccine development to empiric rather than rational approaches. New perspectives are needed. Most individuals infected with MTB never actually develop active tuberculosis. Similarly, most individuals with treated tuberculosis or BCG vaccination are also protected from subsequent disease. These individuals may be said to be immune. One approach to obtaining greater understanding of MTB immunity is to study these individuals to discover mechanisms of immunity that mediate their protection from disease. Because it is already known that CD4+ T cells are a critical component of MTB immunity, studying CD4+ T cell responses to MTB infection in immune individuals is a reasonable starting point. To determine which CD4+ T cell subsets and which CD4+ T cell immune responses are important, we will compare individuals with prior exposure (immunity) to MTB to individuals with active tuberculosis. Because HIV infection interferes with the CD4+ T cell response to MTB, it dramatically increases the risks for acquiring MTB infection and for developing disease. Under these circumstances it is easier to discern mechanisms relevant to MTB immunity because of exaggerated MTB-specific responses. In this study we aim to identify CD4+ T cell subsets and responses that correlate with MTB immunity. We anticipate that these correlations will yield new insight into mechanisms of MTB immunity that will be relevant to vaccine development. In addition, by examining MTB immunity in the setting of HIV coinfection, we anticipate new insights into mechanisms of how HIV causes disease.

COLISEUM PRIMARY SITE FOR CAMPA few sessions will be open to the public
Details of the Islanders' first complete training camp in Nassau County in a long time are starting to surface, and the news is good for the die-hards. The Islanders have turned the fiasco of their cancelled trip to China into a public relations positive.
The majority of 2010 training camp will be held at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. There are plans to have at least one weekend session per week opened to the public.
With "Sesame Street Live" booked at the Coliseum from Sept. 16-19, Scott Gordon's team will work out at Islanders Iceworks in Syosset. Since no other major events are scheduled for the arena until Oct. 8 (Slayer and Megadeth with Anthrax!), the Islanders will be able to practice where they play their games. With the road trip shortened from China to Uniondale, media coverage will be a lot stronger. The fans will get the occasional peek, too.
Stay tuned to the official team site for final details and a schedule. Although most of the roster is already decided by guaranteed contracts, the Islanders' prospect base has deepened considerably over the last three drafts. This figures to be the most intriguing training camp since the Islanders' veteran-based mini-revival a decade ago.
Okay, back to hiatus.

The night began mixed up and became even more confusing as the evening went on.
Last Friday night the Navajo Mountain boys basketball team was supposed to show up at about 5 p.m. with a junior varsity and varsity team to take on East Carbon. However, when they arrived they only had varsity players with them and told coach Rex Jepsen that they would like to play their varsity game as soon as possible because of the eight hour bus ride back to their home base.
"What could I say, we wanted to accommodate them," said Jepsen later that night after the game.
Granting that favor, one would think that the visitors would be a bit nicer to the home team than they were however, as they beat up the East Carbon boys 65-49.
It was an anemic first quarter for both teams, but the Vikings were just a little weaker than the visiting Eagles as they led 12-8 after the first quarter.
In the second period both teams got much hotter. Baskets were traded back and forth with the half time score ending up 33-27 in favor of the visitors.
But if there was a quarter that did the Vikings in it was the third. Behind to begin with, it got even worse as the East Carbon defense failed to stop the Eagles and their offense sputtered. They were outscored 19-9 in the third quarter.
"Our defense just kind of fell apart in the second half," said Jepsen after the game.
The final quarter was one of those where no one could get the edge as both teams put 13 points through the nets.
East Carbon however had it's bright spots. Kyle Leonard scored 29 points in a losing effort, one of the biggest totals of the year so far for any player in the 1A ranks. No one else scored in double figures for the team.
This game was a good test for East Carbon against a team they will face during the regular season next year, since both teams will be in the newly created Region 19 along with Green River, Monticello, Monument Valley and Whitehorse.
The Vikings next home game will be on Friday night against St. Josephs High School of Ogden in the Viking gymnasium.

JEFF TAMBELLINI GETS ANOTHER SHOTAHL sniper/NHL ? at a crossroads
11:55 am, NVMC: Jeff Tambellini returns to the Islanders' lineup tonight after watching the last two games from the press box. (Who sits is unclear at this time. Maybe Mitch Fritz, maybe more of an eye-opener).
Tambellini, a dominant goal-scorer in the American League, has just one assist in 8 games this season. There was hope this year would be different for Tambellini, who for the past two seasons averaged well over a goal every other game in Bridgeport but had just 3 in 54 games with the Islanders. Despite his pairing with Sound Tigers linemate and bff Frans Nielsen, the 5-11 left wing has not contributed much offense.
It's getting late a bit early for the determined and likeable Tambellini, who was scratched the last two games when Scott Gordon opted to add an enforcer to the lineup. He does not always have to score, but to stick around he's going to have to always do everything else.
I asked Gordon after today's morning skate if he ever had a player in Providence like Tambellini, someone who lit it up in the A but failed to find his touch in the majors. Gordon told the story of Andy Hilbert, who scored 37 goals for him but had trouble breaking into the Boston Bruins lineup.
Mike Sullivan, then the Boston coach, had a crossroads conversation with Hilbert: if Andy wasn't going to be a scorer in the NHL, what else was he prepared to do? "Andy committed himself to the defensive game," said Gordon, "and he's even more valuable to us now."
As for Tambellini, Gordon asks, "What do you want to be – a half-million dollar all-around player in the NHL, or maybe a hundred thousand dollar scorer in the American League"?
Two-year, one-way contract or not, whether Jeff Tambellini is going to be that all-around player for the New York Islanders, we'll probably find out over the next couple of weeks.

(NEWS CENTER) - A loud voice in Maine's local and organic farming scene has passed away.
Russell Libby died peacefully at his home in Mt. Vernon Sunday morning. He was 56 years old.
Libby worked with the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association for more than 30 years. He served as it's leader from 1997 to November 2012 when he stepped down due to health issues.
If you've heard of MOO Milk - a distribution system for locally produced dairy products - or the Common Ground Fair in Unity, you've heard of Libby's work.
Libby grew up in Hancock County, went to school at Bowdoin and raised his family in Mt. Vernon.
NEWS CENTER's Bill Green spoke with Libby in October as he prepared to step down from MOFGA in October of 2012.

The loyalty part of the Boy Scout law means many Eagle Scouts have faced a tough decision after the organization's recent affirmation of its anti-gay policy: loyalty to the institution that gave them their high honor, or loyalty to their belief in civil rights and equality.
The Boy Scouts have long banned gays from membership and leadership positions. In July, the 102-year-old organization reaffirmed the ban, saying its "policy reflects the beliefs and perspectives of the [Boy Scouts of America's] members, thereby allowing Scouting to remain focused on its mission and the work it is doing to serve more youth."
The decision—turning away a proposed resolution to change the Boy Scouts' policy—enraged hundreds of Eagle Scouts who have taken their prized badges and medals and shipped them back to the Boy Scouts' headquarters in protest.
(Among those leading the protest is WW's arts and culture editor, Martin Cizmar, whose decision to return his Eagle Scout medal and badge went viral last month when he posted his letter of resignation on Facebook.)
WW decided to ask Oregon politicians who are avowed supporters of gay rights and also happen to be Eagle Scouts if they plan to join the protest.
Oregon State Treasurer Ted Wheeler tells WW he has never agreed with the Scouts' policy of excluding gays, and he says he "profoundly disagrees" with the secretive process by which the recent decision was made.
"We need to speak out loudly for the national organization to change its policy," says Wheeler, who was in Troop 1 in Portland.
Wheeler notes he has been deeply involved in the local Boy Scouts' governing organization, the Cascade Pacific Council. In July, for example, he rappelled down the US Bancorp Tower to raise funds for local Boy Scout troops.
He says he will no longer continue participating in Council functions and fundraisers because of the national policy.
But Wheeler isn't sending his Eagle Scout badge back. He says he respects those who have done so, but he wants to keep his medal.
"I'm keeping mine because I worked for it, and I'm proud of it," Wheeler says.
Bureau of Labor and Industries Commissioner Brad Avakian, who enforces the state's civil rights laws in the workplace, has long been a defender of gay rights. This year, Basic Rights Oregon, the state's leading gay rights group presented Avakian with its Equality Advocate Award.
Avakian, an Eagle Scout out of Troop 297 in Beaverton, says he isn't sending his badge back, either. Avakian tells WW he recently sent a letter to the Boy Scouts detailing his disapproval of the policy. He believes his best chance to make a change is through his position as the state's chief civil rights defender.
"I think everybody chooses the best way for themselves to express opposition, and I'm going to use my statewide office, as the state's official civil rights division, to show mine," Avakian says.
He says he is still loyal to the local council because it "doesn't follow those bigoted national policies." And he traces his interest in civil rights to his studies in his citizenship merit badge classes when he was a scout.
"Both professionally as a lawyer and in my public service," Avakian says of civil rights, "it's been a top priority for me."
U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon) declined to be interviewed but said through a spokeswoman he won't be returning his Eagle Scout medal.
WW did get this statement from Merkley's office:
"The Senator loved his experiences with the Boy Scouts, including the tremendous opportunity to develop leadership skills. He believes, however, that discrimination is wrong in any setting, and the Boy Scouts policy should change. He believes every child should have the opportunity to benefit from scouting."

One of the first questions that everyone asks about electric motorcycles is, unsurprisingly, "how far?" Zero Motorcycles offers an entire model line and each model and variation has a different range. At present, the longest range in the lineup goes to the Zero S ZF12.5 + Power Tank with 185 miles in the city. However, there are a number of options with lesser ranges that offer different benefits for those who only want a motorcycle for getting around town or the city. After all, selecting an electric motorcycle is all about making the best choice for your lifestyle.
To select the motorcycle that best meets your needs we recommend you see how far you typically ride in a day. Depending on how closely you watch your mileage the answer may surprise you. According to the US Department of Transportation, the average 'driver' travels about 13,476 miles per year. That breaks down to roughly 37 miles on average per day. Once you own a Zero, 37 miles will cost you a whopping 37¢ per day. Did we mention that there's also no routine powertrain maintenance?
Range is fundamentally dependent on the amount of kilowatt-hours (kWh) in the motorcycle's power system. As you charge you increase the kWh in the power pack and, once fully charged, can achieve the maximum range of your motorcycle. As you ride electric you'll find that every time you stop can be an opportunity to top up and go a bit farther. Zero offers several systems to quickly increase the potential range of each motorcycle.
The Zero FX uses modular power packs that allow you to add a second module to your power system that effectively doubles your potential range. You can also swap a discharged power pack for a fresh one in about sixty seconds.
Zero offers a quick charge system that cuts the charge times by as much as 75%.
Range varies in electric motorcycles similarly to how it varies in gas motorcycles. However, the big difference between electric and gas is that energy consumption is averaged over a shorter distance on an electric motorcycle. Electric motorcycles are designed for convenient daily recharges versus less frequent and less convenient trips to the gas station. As a result, the same electric motorcycle often yields different ranges from one full recharge to the next.
To generally predict how an electric motorcycle's range will be affected, you can use the four factors:
By considering each of these factors, you can use specifications such as 'city range' as standards to estimate what the motorcycle's real world range will be under the your particular usage case.

CRARY MILLS A building contractor has found a creative way to recycle a piece of downtown Cantons history.
Dominic P. Petroccione, owner of Thornwood Cabinetry, 81 Post Road, salvaged several pieces of maplewood when crews were dismantling the wooden bowling lanes at Gray Lanes, the former bowling alley at the corner of Main Street and Riverside Drive.
The large brick building was renovated two years ago and now houses Northern New York Newspapers Inc., Gray & Gray Certified Public Accountants and five upstairs condominiums.
We just happened to be driving by when they were hauling the wood lengths out with cranes. It caught my eye, Mr. Petroccione said.
He immediately thought of using the material for kitchen countertops and received permission to take several lengths of wood, which ranged in size from 12 to 14 feet long.
After sanding and refinishing the wood, he has used the former bowling lanes for three kitchen renovation projects, including two Canton homes and a camp at Higley Flow, Colton.
Steven R. Newkofsky, Old DeKalb Road, said he and his wife, Claudia C., are pleased with the wood surface Mr. Petroccione installed on their kitchen hutch because it created an interesting contrast with their new granite kitchen countertops.
It gives the kitchen some diversity, and its certainly a novel idea for preserving some of Cantons history, Mr. Newkofsky said. Its been a conversation piece.
The wood countertops also have been installed at Cynthia Wellss Elm Street home and a Higley Flow camp owned by Dr. Robert E. Nordberg, a Canton physician, and his wife, Margaret E.
Mr. Petroccione also likes finding ways to recycle copper.
I love copper, and I cant see it just ending up in a landfill, he said.
If others are interested, some of the hardwood from the bowling lanes is still available for future projects.
Mr. Petroccione, 33, is a 1998 graduate of Canton Central School and resides with his wife, Ann E., and three children in Crary Mills.

4 U.S. Code § 123 - Scope; special rules
(a) Act Does Not Supersede Customer's Liability to Taxing Jurisdiction.— Nothing in sections 116 through 126 modifies, impairs, supersedes, or authorizes the modification, impairment, or supersession of, any law allowing a taxing jurisdiction to collect a tax, charge, or fee from a customer that has failed to provide its place of primary use.
(b) Additional Taxable Charges.— If a taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise subject charges for mobile telecommunications services to taxation and if these charges are aggregated with and not separately stated from charges that are subject to taxation, then the charges for nontaxable mobile telecommunications services may be subject to taxation unless the home service provider can reasonably identify charges not subject to such tax, charge, or fee from its books and records that are kept in the regular course of business.
(c) Nontaxable Charges.— If a taxing jurisdiction does not subject charges for mobile telecommunications services to taxation, a customer may not rely upon the nontaxability of charges for mobile telecommunications services unless the customer's home service provider separately states the charges for nontaxable mobile telecommunications services from taxable charges or the home service provider elects, after receiving a written request from the customer in the form required by the provider, to provide verifiable data based upon the home service provider's books and records that are kept in the regular course of business that reasonably identifies the nontaxable charges.

18 U.S. Code § 3552 - Presentence reports
(a) Presentence Investigation and Report by Probation Officer.— A United States probation officer shall make a presentence investigation of a defendant that is required pursuant to the provisions of Rule 32(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and shall, before the imposition of sentence, report the results of the investigation to the court.
(b) Presentence Study and Report by Bureau of Prisons.— If the court, before or after its receipt of a report specified in subsection (a) or (c), desires more information than is otherwise available to it as a basis for determining the sentence to be imposed on a defendant found guilty of a misdemeanor or felony, it may order a study of the defendant. The study shall be conducted in the local community by qualified consultants unless the sentencing judge finds that there is a compelling reason for the study to be done by the Bureau of Prisons or there are no adequate professional resources available in the local community to perform the study. The period of the study shall be no more than sixty days. The order shall specify the additional information that the court needs before determining the sentence to be imposed. Such an order shall be treated for administrative purposes as a provisional sentence of imprisonment for the maximum term authorized by section 3581 (b) for the offense committed. The study shall inquire into such matters as are specified by the court and any other matters that the Bureau of Prisons or the professional consultants believe are pertinent to the factors set forth in section 3553 (a). The period of the study may, in the discretion of the court, be extended for an additional period of not more than sixty days. By the expiration of the period of the study, or by the expiration of any extension granted by the court, the United States marshal shall, if the defendant is in custody, return the defendant to the court for final sentencing. The Bureau of Prisons or the professional consultants shall provide the court with a written report of the pertinent results of the study and make to the court whatever recommendations the Bureau or the consultants believe will be helpful to a proper resolution of the case. The report shall include recommendations of the Bureau or the consultants concerning the guidelines and policy statements, promulgated by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994 (a), that they believe are applicable to the defendant's case. After receiving the report and the recommendations, the court shall proceed finally to sentence the defendant in accordance with the sentencing alternatives and procedures available under this chapter.
(c) Presentence Examination and Report by Psychiatric or Psychological Examiners.— If the court, before or after its receipt of a report specified in subsection (a) or (b) desires more information than is otherwise available to it as a basis for determining the mental condition of the defendant, the court may order the same psychiatric or psychological examination and report thereon as may be ordered under section 4244 (b) of this title.
(d) Disclosure of Presentence Reports.— The court shall assure that a report filed pursuant to this section is disclosed to the defendant, the counsel for the defendant, and the attorney for the Government at least ten days prior to the date set for sentencing, unless this minimum period is waived by the defendant. The court shall provide a copy of the presentence report to the attorney for the Government to use in collecting an assessment, criminal fine, forfeiture or restitution imposed.

Index to Jewish Periodicals is the definitive index on Jewish history, activity and thought. This database provides a comprehensive guide to English-language articles, book reviews, and feature stories in more than 160 journals devoted to Jewish affairs. Index to Jewish Periodicals is intended for students of Jewish thought and others interested in contemporary Jewish and Middle Eastern affairs.
An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

Fiscal Outlook & The Debt
This section will help you understand the federal debt, how the federal deficit is measured, and the fiscal outlook that federal, state, and local governments face.
GAO's federal simulations show that absent policy changes, the federal government faces a rapid and unsustainable growth in debt. Simulations of the state and local government sector show that not only the federal government faces fiscal challenges that will have a profound effect on government over the coming decades. A growing imbalance between revenue and spending is driven on the spending side by rising health care costs and the aging population, which in turn will lead to a rapid increase in spending on retirement and health programs.
In light of these challenges, GAO works to provide Congress and the public with updated analysis on the fiscal outlook for the federal government and for the state and local government sector and with answers to key questions about federal debt.

This shire matress has given me and my partner our first decent night's sleep in a long time. We can both strecth out right to the sides and we never disturb each other anymore. A good mattress really is the secret to a happy marriage.

We wanted a firm mattress. This one is firm and it is very comfortable too. The website is informative with a lot of detail. We actually phoned and spoke to a salesperson who was polite and helpful. We wanted delivery on a specific date and this was arranged without trouble. We were given a time slot on the day of arrival and the mattress arrived two minutes after the begining of this slot! The quality of the mattress is excellent and the packaging was very effective. Be careful if you have to get it upstairs - it is quite heavy!

The mattress is fabulous. It is indeed expensive but it worth every penny.

I'm a landlord and often need to replace mattresses in my student properties and have always used
this site. I always receive an excellent service; the delivery is smooth and always as planned. Decided
to get myself a new one as well, bit nicer than my usual purchases, good support and the memory
foam is just delightful!

Great price and free next day delivery - I couldn't ask for more.

It is my second Beasley mattresses but the first one was pure memory foam. This time I was looking
for a foam and sprung mattress to combine the effect of both type. I set my heart on this one as
I knew the brand was reliable. The mattress is excellent and extremely comfortable, worth the
money. Nothing to complain about, smooth delivery and good product.

Quick delivery and reasonably priced, very comfortable mattress and only needed 90 minutes from unrolled to normal strength and surprised cooling effect really works.

I needed a mattress and found this site by googling. Excellent website, all the information is well
displayed which makes you decision easier. The delivery was quick - the following day. I was a bit
hesitant to order a mattress online but the prices are much better than the high street shops nearby.

The mattress is firm, high quality and very comfortable. Should have upgraded a long time ago! Thanks for the good customer service.

What is a Pocket Sprung and Memory Foam mattress?
The pocket sprung and memory foam mattresses provide a dual experience of comfort. The memory foam top eliminate pressure points on the body to offer better support and the pocket springs work individually to add extra foundation for superior repose.
What is a Pocket Sprung unit?
A pocket sprung unit helps the mattress conform to your body's contours by a large number of individually housed springs, each working independently of the others and taking just the weight of the part of your body resting on it.
Pocket springs are smaller than the standard springs you will find in a coil sprung mattress, there are roughly 300 springs in a coil sprung mattress so if there are up to 2000 springs in a pocket spring mattress. Each of these springs are then housed in a fabric "pocket", this allows them to work independently of each other. In a coil sprung mattress the springs are interwoven, meaning that if pressure is applied to one they all react to a greater or lesser degree.
What is Memory Foam?
Memory foam react to body heat and eliminate pressure points on the body, making a very comfortable mattress. Memory foam is effective at distributing weight and you will not be disturbed by a restless partner. They are also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial, making them ideal for allergy sufferers.
Memory foam makes mattresses denser and more supportive than traditional mattresses. It moulds to your body's shape which means it offers great support without compromising on comfort. By eliminating all pressure points, memory foam ensures your body is correctly aligned while you are sleeping.
The benefits of a Pocket Sprung and Memory Foam mattress
A pocket sprung and memory foam mattress is the best one if you're looking for comfort. You will get the feel of a traditional sprung mattress but with the benefit of sleeping on a layer of memory foam. Regardless of body weight and size your entire body is supported in the correct anatomical position providing spinal alignment for a natural sleeping position. Each pocket of springs work independently of one another helping to minimise disturbance when sleeping with your partner. Each spring is free to respond to and reduce specific pressure points.

CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) - A fan of the University of Michigan and her friend are driving to Atlanta after she unexpectedly got two free tickets to the NCAA Basketball Tournament Final Four.
Whitney Smith is a bartender at Watermark Country Club in Cascade Township. One of the members gave her the tickets.
"He told me at the beginning the year he might have tickets if Michigan goes all the way," she explains. "I didn't think anything of it. Then I got an e-mail. He had extra tickets and he saved a couple for me."
Whitney says she and the club member have cheered the Wolverines during their games at the Watermark Grill. This year the team is in contention for the championship.
"This is a huge deal," she says. "Look at how long we have waited for Michigan to go to the Final 4 again. I'm taking a friend that also works here and we are going to drive the 12 hours."
Her friend Josh Sheele, is fellow Watermark employee and Wolverine fan.
"It's very cool we get to go," he says. "She wanted a fellow Michigan fan with her. She didn't want to ask anyone who was neutral."
"I'm very grateful for the tickets," says Whitney. "It's extremely generous."
Whitney has 2 jobs. She works days at a doctor's office, nights at the country club.

Looking for a solo tarp shelter. I'm interested in a bunch of different shelters and looking to see what is offered. Hoping for a deal!
Check out the Hexamid that I listed today. Ten ounces, nearly new, quick delivery and fair price.
You might look at this. He is selling a Yama terraform 1. If I didn't have a terraform 2 already I would be all over this.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=75908
thanks for the replies, I'm waiting for my Hexamid Twin to sell so i'll have the money as well as waiting to see whats offered!
Really hoping to find a solomid (or equivalent) though, i'd probably take a hexamid tarp or gatewood cape if it were a sweet deal.
Do you check your PMs ?

Your cart is empty!
I use this soap every time, it helps me to get rid of skin problems, my allergist recommended me this bar.I also use this soap for shaving purpose.
I no longer use conditioner and my shoulder-length hair is doing all right with gentle brushing to spread natural oils along the length and the alternating of the cleansers. I can even blow dry my hair when I really need to, but I usually let it air dry.It also works great as a body wash. (as it is intended to be for the skin) :) My skin is much happier since I have been using it and my son's eczema is better in control since he has started using it instead of soap or body wash.
I have dry, sensitive skin. I've tried a number of cleansers like this one (Cetaphil, Ponds cold cream, Boots cleansing lotion, etc.) and this one seems to work the best. It takes make up off well and doesn't leave behind a 'filmy' feeling if you just wipe off. If you do rinse with water, it doesn't leave you with a tight, squeeky-clean feeling. It really does leave your skin feeling moisturized and yet cleanses enough to get rid of the dirt and make-up! I'm very happy with this cleanser and will purchase again.
Used this when in the hospital then nurses gave it to me to take home. Liked it enough that I not only used it when I physically couldn't shower, but continued to use it in the shower. Really liked this product. CS

The question of sow productivity is often raised but many people do not always agree on what this term really means. For some, it is the criterion which indicates the number of piglets weaned from a sow. However, by counting only the number of piglets weaned per sow, what occurs after weaning takes place is often underestimated.
Sow productivity can also mean the number of piglets produced per sow which leave the nursery. But sow productivity could also be considered to be the number of pigs sold per sow. The definition of this term can vary from a breeder to a breeder-finisher. It would, therefore, be appropriate to base this definition on the units which bring in revenue, that is to say the number of pigs sold per sow or the number of kilos sold per sow. Sow productivity therefore, calculated according to piglets sold per sow, can represent to a breeder approximately half the revenue compared to that of a breeder-finisher.
This method of calculation confirms that what happens after weaning is as important as what occurs before weaning. Moreover, variation in mortality rates must be taken into account as this can greatly alter the results from one year to the next. A large percentage difference can also be observed between good years and those when poorer rates are obtained in fattening alone.
Productivity can, of course, be calculated according to the number of piglets weaned per sow, but this information is incomplete if it is compared with the number of pigs sold per sow per year, which is more significant for management purposes.
