As of December 1, 1995 residents of NC may be eligible for a permit allowing them to carry a concealed handgun under specific conditions. No other weapons can be carried concealed pursuant to this permit. Once issued, the permit is valid throughout NC for a period of 5 years, unless it is revoked. You must apply to your County's Sheriff Office in order to obtain a Concealed Handgun Permit.
Beginning June 1, 2010 the Sheriff's Office will be accepting applications for Concealed Handgun Permits by appointment only. This applies to New and Renewal applications.
To apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit (New or Renewal), you must complete an application and make an appointment by visiting https://cabarrusso.permitium.com/ccw/start and registering for an account. Once you register for an account, you will see the option to apply for a Concealed Carry Handgun Permit. After completing the application and submitting the credit card payment, you will set an appointment time to come in and sign an application packet (must be signed and notarized in person). For New applicants, you will also be fingerprinted during your appointment. The application fee is required up-front, and is non-refundable.
For NEW concealed handgun permits, bring the following to your appointment:
If making application to RENEW a concealed handgun permit you would not need to bring another copy of your Firearms Safety Course Certificate or DD-214 form, unless you have completed another term of military service.
A criminal background check is conducted on ALL applicants. Approved applicants must (among other things):
You will be notified by phone when your permit is ready for pick up. Permits must be picked up in person at the Sheriff's Office Monday-Friday, 8 am - 5 pm. You must present your valid NC Driver's License. If your permit is denied you will receive a written explanation from this office.
It is the applicant's responsibility to renew the permit before it expires. The permit will expire at 12 am on the date listed on the card. A recently passed law (GS14-415.16(e) states if a permitee does not apply to renew the permit prior to its expiration date but does apply to renew the permit within 60 days after the permit expires, the Sheriff may waive the requirement of taking another firearms safety and training course. This does not extend the expiration date of the permit. Renewals in this case will cost $90. You can renew your permit up to 90 days prior to the expiration date. If a permit expires you may not carry your weapon concealed until a new permit has been obtained.
Concealed Handgun Permit Cost:
The list of States recognizing NC's concealed handgun permittees is updated frequently, and can be viewed at http://www.ncdoj.gov.
Applicants moving from one NC County to another must apply for an address change through the county from which they are moving from. To apply for an address change you must provide a NC Drivers License or NC ID with the new address.
If you have any questions regarding Concealed Handgun Permits you may contact us at 704-920-3100 or email email@example.com.
Having issues submitting your application? Contact the Helpdesk at 704-920-2154.

ST. PAUL, Minn., May 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- MD Bioproducts launches a new subtype specific antibody as a marker for ankylosing spondylitis (AS): HLA-B*2705. The anti-HLA-B*2705 antibody, clone MARB4, has been validated for use in flow cytometry, tissue staining and immunoprecipitation.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronc inflammatory arthritis. It is characterized by inflammation of the joints between the spinal bones and the joints between the spine and pelvis. It is a long term conditin where the affected joints may fuse together causing a significant loss of quality of life. The pathogenesis of AS remains highly unresolved. While it is known that HLA-B27 is strongly associated with AS, there is subtype variability with a particularly strong association with HLA-B*2704 and HLA-B*2705, which might be due to differential rates of folding. Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) play a central role in the immune system recognizing self from non-self. It is also known that endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) polymorphisms are associated with AS. ERAP1 is an aminopeptidase resident in the edoplasmic reticulum (ER) functioning in N-terminal peptide trimming for pHLA presentation.
The MARB4-reactive population of HLA-B27 molecules appears to be generated particularly when the activity of the ER aminopeptidase ERA

[C]um hominum felicitatem non possis ostendere, semper in bellicis cladibus et in sanguine ciuili uel hostili, tamen humano cum tenebroso timore et cruenta cupiditate uersantium, ut uitrea lætitia comparetur fragiliter splendida, cui timeatur horribilius ne repente frangatur, de imperii latitudine ac magnitudine uelle gloriari…
Remota itaque iustitia quid sunt regna nisi magna latrocinia? quia et latrocinia quid sunt nisi parua regna? Manus et ipsa hominum est, imperio principis regitur, pacto societatis astringitur, placiti lege præda diuiditur. Hoc malum si in tantum perditorum hominum accessibus crescit, ut et loca teneat sedes constituat, ciuitates occupet populos subiuget, euidentius regni nomen adsumit, quod ei iam in manifesto confert non dempta cupiditas, sed addita inpunitas. Eleganter enim et ueraciter Alexandro illi Magno quidam comprehensus pirata respondit. Nam cum idem rex hominem interrogaret, quid ei uideretur, ut mare haberet infestum, ille libera contumacia: Quod tibi, inquit, ut orbem terrarum; sed quia id ego exiguo nauigio facio, latro uocor; quia tu magna classe, imperator.
You will not prove that humans are happy who live steadily in the midst of the disasters of war. Whether the blood shed is that of their fellow citizens or of their enemies matters not, for in any case it is human blood. The dark shadow of fear and the lust for blood has fallen over them. If they know joy, then it is but the gleaming of fragile glass which they must fear will be shattered at any second. How then can it be wise or even rational to see grounds to be boastful in the building of empires?…
If it does not do justice, what is the government but a great criminal enterprise? For what are gangs of criminals but petty little governments? The pack is a group which follows the orders of its leader according to a social compact of sorts, sharing the spoils along the rules upon which they agree. Through a process of gradual accretion, the gang may acquire bodies and territory, establish itself in some place, and soon be possessed of all the attributes of statehood—then it may be known as a state, acquiring this title not by being any less avaricious but rather by having achieved impunity. Alexander the Great's conversation with a pirate he had captured reflects this well. The king asked what possessed him to infest the sea as he did, and the pirate replied: "No differently from you when you pursue your crimes in the world. I act with a small ship, so I am called a pirate. You command a fleet and are called emperor."

As I strolled into the Mets minor league camp today, the first rounds of intersquad games were under way. I was really focused on getting a good look at the pitchers today, and got some good video of a number of guys. I was impressed by some of the arms I saw, and was equally disappointed in others. Here are some of the notes I took from today's action:
– Matt Harvey showed why the Mets selected him in the first round. His fastball sat comfortably at 93-95mph with life in the zone. His front side flew open when he tried to overthrow the baseball, but he showed clean and easy mechanics. He threw a power slider (82-84 mph) with good tilt and late bite, and commanded it well. His curveball (80-81) was his best offspeed offering. It had hard two-plane break to it with very tight spin and hard downward break. He also showed a potential plus change-up (83-84), with good arm speed, fade, and sink. His demeanor on the mound was outstanding as well.
– Steven Matz, who did not pitch today, told me he has had a couple of minor setbacks in his rehab stint, but he is on schedule to pitch later this summer for a short-season team. He will be staying in PSL for extended spring training.
– Binghamton pitching coach Marc Valdes told me that Brad Holt threw the ball well today. His fastball was solid and he looked good today. His fastball velocity was solid at 91-94.
– Greg Peavey was very impressive today. He showed a clean and smooth delivery, that is easily reapetable. He showed an above average fastball with some arm side run, sitting comfortably at 91-93. His free and easy mechanics make his fastball jump on hitters. He also showed a solid curveball (83-84) with solid two-plane break.
– Mark Cohoon cruised through his first inning of work, then was hit hard in his second inning, as he elevated most of his pitches. His fastball sat at 88-89, and is effective when down in the zone. He showed a solid curveball and good change-up, but he must locate well to be effective. Jeff Flagg hit a deep HR to centerfield off of Cohoon.
– Kyle Allen showed a good change-up, but lacked velocity on his fastball. His change-up had good fade and sink, to go with good arm speed. His fastball was disappointing at 85-87, but he did locate it well.
– Scott Moviel didn't command the ball very well, as his front side flew open often. His fastball was average at best sitting at 88-89.
– Ryan Fraser did not command the ball well today. His fastball (89-90) produced a bunch of groundballs due to good sink and arm side run. His slider sweeps across the zone, and is particularly tough against right handed hitters.
– Eric Beaulac told me his hip feels good, and is on schedule to open the season healthy.
– Francisco Pena hit a deep HR to left-centerfield off of Armando Rodriguez.
Stay tuned for more notes,video, and photos from this weeks action…

|The Game Story:
|HOBOKEN, N.J. (April 16, 2008) � Senior attacker/midfielder R.J. Ancona won 76.9 percent (20-for-26) of the faceoffs and collected nine ground balls as the Stevens Institute of Technology men�s lacrosse team routed Elmira College by the final score of 18-4 during Senior Day on Wednesday at the De Baun Athletic Complex in Hoboken, N.J. Meanwhile, sophomore attacker Josh Holmes
and sophomore attacker/midfielder Alex Couture scored three goals apiece as the Ducks won their third game in a row to improve to 8-3 overall.
At 6-1 in the Empire 8, Stevens has assured itself of no worse than the No. 2 seed for the postseason tournament, which will begin Friday, April 25. As a result, the Ducks will have at least one home game in the playoffs. Stevens will have a chance to capture the Empire 8 regular-season title and secure the top seed with a win at 10th-ranked Ithaca College this Saturday at 1 p.m.
During Wednesday game against the Soaring Eagles (2-9, 1-5 Empire 8), the Ducks jumped out to a 6-2 lead after one period, led 10-2 at the break, and never looked back. A total of 12 different players scored goals for Stevens. Senior defender/long-stick midfielder Nick Daniello had two goals to go along with six ground balls and three caused turnovers. Sophomore midfielder Bobby Steinhauser also scored twice. Senior attacker John Dolny finished with three points on a goal and two assists.
Meanwhile, junior midfielder Eric Smith collected a goal and an assist. Freshman attacker Joey Simone chipped in with a pair of assists. Senior midfielder Frank Sorrentino, junior midfielder Matt Keating, junior midfielder Alex Heckman, sophomore attacker Daniel Prakopcyk, freshman midfielder Ian Burgess, and freshman midfielder Christopher Laurita all scored a goal for the Ducks.
Freshman goalkeeper Dave Decker played just over 40 minutes in net and made five saves. Senior goalie Corey Vaillancourt took over and made five stops in 17 minutes of action. Junior goalkeeper Burke Reynolds played the final two minutes in the cage.
As a unit, the five seniors on the Ducks � Ancona, Daniello, Dolny, Sorrentino, and Vaillancourt � combined for four goals, two assists, 22 ground balls, and five saves against Elmira. Over the course of the last four years, they have helped Stevens to an overall record of 51-5, which includes a 33-4 mark at home and a 29-1 conference record.
The Soaring Eagles were led by senior attacker Mike Szpiech (Hamilton, Ontario), who scored three goals. Freshman midfielder Martin O�Brien (West Springfield, Mass.) finished with a goal and an assist. Sophomore goalkeeper Geoffrey Lane (Pennington, N.J.) made 10 saves in 53 minutes of action.
Stevens jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first three minutes of the game as Heckman and Burgess both scored unassisted goals. After a tally by Szpiech, the Ducks scored three times in just over four minutes to extend the margin to 5-1. Leading 6-2 at the start of the second quarter, Stevens tallied four times in the period to open an eight-goal lead (10-2) at intermission. Two of those four goals came during a 27-second stretch in the final minute of the half as Prakopcyk and Steinhauser both scored. Steinhauser�s goal came with one second remaining in the quarter.
For the game, Stevens owned the advantage in shots (56-26) and ground balls (43-18). The Ducks were 15-for-20 (75 percent) in clearing attempts. Elmira converted on 71.4 percent (10-for-14) of its clears.
Saturday�s showdown between Stevens and Ithaca will be carried live by Ithaca College Radio at www.wicb.org. The Bombers are currently 11-2 on the year and 5-1 in the Empire 8. Last year, Ithaca won the regular-season title only to suffer a 16-14 loss to Nazareth College on its home field in the championship game.

News Release
The Government of Canada Invites Canadians to Highlight Environment Week
OTTAWA, Ont. – June 3, 2013 – The Government of Canada invites all Canadians to reflect on their environment during Canadian Environment Week, observed annually during the first full week of June. Canada's Minister of the Environment, the Honourable Peter Kent, noted that the week was a time to reflect on our collective environmental achievements and stewardship, for all Canadians today and tomorrow to enjoy.
"Canadian Environment Week is not only a great opportunity to celebrate our achievements in protecting our natural environment, but it is also an excellent opportunity to further inspire all Canadians to work together to do even more to preserve, protect and restore our land, our air, and our water."
The Minister pointed to some of the Government's important environmental achievements:
- The Launching of the Joint-Monitoring Plan on the oil sands;
- More stringent regulations in a variety of areas, to combat climate change through a sector by sector approach and fulfill our commitment of reducing Canada's greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020;
- The cooperation with provincial and territorial counterparts, to improve air quality for all Canadians;
- On the international stage, the Government's investment of $1.2 billion towards climate change fast-start financing to further help developing economies reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, which is a global challenge;
- Canada's collaboration with a variety of business and international partners to encourage innovative environmental technologies and clean energy;
- The advancements made for the protection of wildlife, water and land in Canada—protected areas in Canada now account for an area that is nearly the size of Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland combined.
The Minister also stated that 2013 was designated the International Year of Water Cooperation, and cited some of the work the Government has undertaken in this regard.
"We are working with our international partners, such as the United States in the Great Lakes, and with our provincial and territorial counterparts, to improve and protect our important water resources. Our Government has worked with the provinces and territories to bring about Canada's first national standards for wastewater treatment."
The Minister stated that such focus and cooperation was also key to addressing other environmental issues and challenges.
"Canadians should take this opportunity to celebrate our rich and diversified environment, to reflect on our numerous achievements and to think and prepare for future challenges. Collectively, we must never lose sight of the importance of a healthy environment in which to live, grow and raise our families."

JRuby Performance on Glassfish V3 -- Part 1
One of the new features of Glassfish V3 is directory deployment of ruby applications. This makes is much easier to develop and deploy ruby applications on Glassfish since developers no longer need to package ruby apps as wars using goldspike or warbler as was required for Glassfish V2. However there are other good reasons to run your rails applications on Glassfish V3. One of those reason is performance.
This blog will be broken into three parts. The first part will discuss general runtime characteristics of jruby and how to tune for them. The second part will discuss Glassfish V3 tunings in particular. The third part will compare Glassfish V3 performance against some other popular rails web servers.
performance tuning for JRuby
Command line options to optimize heap size and garbage collection can improve jruby performance by as much as 40%, so it's important to recognize runtime characteristics of jruby applications to tune the VM properly. If you're not familiar with the Sun VM, especially it's heap management and garabage collection strategies, you may want to check out one of the many garabage collection tuning guides before reading this blog.
JRuby uses the client compiler by default with a default heap size of -Xmx500m and stack size of -Xss1024k. For development purposes, these values are probably sufficent. For maximum runtime performance though, it's generally always better to use the server compiler which is enabled by using the -server flag. It may also be necessary to adjust the default heap sizes to minimize application disrupting garabage collections. In addition, you should always upgrade to the latest JVM and JRuby versions when you can. Bug fixes and performance improvements on new releases can be significant, so upgrading is an easy win for the developer.
JRuby runtimes are generally characterized by lots of short lived objects. For the default garbage collector used by the Sun JVM, this means increasing the young generation size relative to the tenured generation size to ensure that short lived objects will not be promoted to the tenured generation. The young generation size can be set explicitly using -XX:NewSize=<value> -XX:MaxNewSize=<value>, but I generally prefer to use the -XX:NewRatio=<value> flag which sizes the young generation as a relative value depending on the size of the heap. -XX:NewRatio=2 instructs the VM to set a 2:1 ratio between young and tenured generations, resulting in a new generation which is approximately 1/3 of the total heap. This is set by default for Glassfish V3
Jruby is also characterized by a high number of classes loaded in memory. This is usually the reason the VM will complain about OutOfMemory errors, especially when running with multiple runtimes. The easy fix for this situation is to adjust the size of the permanent generation where the classes reside in the heap. Even without multiple runtimes, it's advisable to increase the PermGen to avoid putting pressure on the permgen and triggering a full garbage collection. For glassfish, we generally recommend 20M per runtime, but this could vary depending on the complexity of your application. Glassfish V3 sets -XX:MaxPermSize=192m. On other jruby servers, I like to size the permgen size to about 50M per runtime. To set the PermGen size:
-XX:PermSize=50m -XX:MaxPermSize=50m
Finally, it's always a good idea to check what's going on in the heap with one of the many tools that are available. For a graphical interface, use jconsole. Otherwise jstat is a good low overhead way to track your memory utilization:
jstat -gcutil <pid> <time interval>
On Glassfish gem with four runtimes, java command line tuning produced these results on an internal workload similar to the olio project.
|Heap Size
|PermGen Size
|GC Algorithm
|default (client)
|default (500m)
|default (8)
|default (8)
|default (8)
| 80
As you can see, I also tried some of other types of garabage collection, but these did not improve performance on this workload. As with all performance tuning recommendations, it's best to take things with a grain of salt until you've proven things on your own applications and systems.

Triple-Cooked Chips
- 1kg Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cut into chips (approx. 2 � 2 � 6cm)
- Groundnut or grapeseed oil
- Sea salt
Place the cut chips into a bowl under running water for 5 minutes to wash the starch off.
Place 2kg cold tap water in a large saucepan and add the potatoes. Place the pan over a medium heat and simmer until the chips are almost falling apart (approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on the potato).
Carefully remove the cooked chips and place them on a cooling rack to dry out. Then place in the freezer for at least 1 hour to remove more moisture.
Heat a deep-fat fryer or a deep pan no more than half filled with oil (to a depth of around 10cm) to 130°C. Fry the chips in small batches until a light crust forms (approximately 5 minutes), remove from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.
Put the potatoes on a cooling rack and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour. (At this stage, if you don't want to cook and serve immediately, the chips can be kept in the fridge for 3 days.)

Oropharynx lesion biopsy
An oropharynx lesion biopsy is surgery in which tissue from an abnormal growth or mouth sore is removed and checked for problems.
Alternative Names
Throat lesion biopsy; Biopsy - mouth or throat; Mouth lesion biopsy
How the test is performed
Painkiller or numbing medicine is first applied to the area. For large sores or sores of the throat, general anesthesia may be needed. This means you will be asleep during the procedure.
All or part of the problem area (lesion) is removed. It is sent to the laboratory to check for problems. If a growth in the mouth or throat needs to be removed, the biopsy will be done first. This is followed by the actual removal of the growth.
How to prepare for the test
If a simple painkiller or local numbing medicine is to be used, there is no special preparation. If the test is part of a growth removal or if general anesthesia is used, you will likely be told not to eat for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
How the test will feel
You may feel pressure or tugging while the tissue is being removed. After the numbness wears off, the area may be sore for a few days.
Why the test is performed
This test is done to determine the cause of a sore (lesion) in the throat.
Normal Values
This test is only done when there is an abnormal tissue area.
What abnormal results mean
- Cancer (such as squamous cell carcinoma)
- Fungal infections (such as candida)
- Histoplasmosis
- Oral lichen planus
- Precancerous sore (leukoplakia)
- Viral infections (such as Herpes simplex)
What the risks are
- Infection of the site
- Bleeding at the site
If there is bleeding, the blood vessels may be sealed (cauterized) with an electric current or laser.
Special considerations
Avoid hot or spicy food after the biopsy.

Circles of Care
As framed by Ignatian spirituality, our lives are filled with moments of consolation (moments of joy, moments when we feel love, or feel closest to God), and moments of desolation (our "desert moments" when we feel farthest from God, moments when we are lonely, or angry, or feel the least amount of love). As we move in and out of our highs and lows, we at the OCL want to make sure that you are not alone in your journey.
OCL coordinates systems of care within the campus community. The OCL provides networks of support for the PSR community in four ways:
Circle of Care 1: Campus Care Network
The CCN provides student-led campus care: to listen, pray, and to support and to respond to crises and everyday concerns in the lives of students and their families at PSR. CCN members are available around the clock to provide assistance in cases of emergency or crisis. Click here for more info about the CCN members and the contact info. CCN application information link.
Circle of Care 2: Campus Pastors
The Pastoral Care Team is comprised by ordained clergy with office hours and location in the PSR campus. The campus pastors have set aside a time from their particular ministries to provide pastoral care for free for the PSR community. Click here for more information about the campus pastors, their office hours and location. Note that the PCT provides "pastoral care," not "pastoral counseling." Pastoral care is a broad and inclusive way of pastoral work that is concerned with the support and nurturance of persons and interpersonal relationships. Pastoral counseling is an extended and structured conversation focused on the needs and concerns of the one seeking help (as defined by The Dictionary of Pastoral Care and Counseling).
Circle of Care 3: Director of Community Life & Spiritual Care
In situations when the CCN and Pastoral Care Team are not available, the Director of Community Life and Spiritual Care will provide pastoral care, especially during emergency situations. This includes PSR's after hours (weekdays and weekend). To access the Director of Community Life during after hours, please contact the CCN.
Circle of Care 4: Spiritual Directors, Counselors, Therapists and other off-campus Resources
The CCN, Pastoral Care Team, and Assistant Dean of Students will refer the community to self-care resources outside of PSR when needed (although a PSR community member is welcome to access this resource anytime). The lists are not given as endorsements but as a starting place to begin your search for a spiritual director, therapist, or counselor who meets your needs and desires. See links below for more information.

Yewdale Valley walk
Shepherds Bridge Lane, Coniston, Cumbria LA21 8ALRoute details and mapDownload as a print friendly PDF
Route overview
A medium length walk starting from Coniston village that takes in the charming Yewdale valley. The route gains enough height to provide good views of the landscape, but stays low enough to be not too demanding.
Route details
See this step-by-step route marked on a map
- Directions
- Route
- Bus stop
- Parking
- Toilet
- Viewpoint
Start: Coniston Primary School, grid ref: SD305978
Start opposite Coniston Primary School at Shepherds Bridge (bus stops here). Walk over Shepherds Bridge and take the Cumbria Way footpath immediately on the left, which will lead you through the fields.
Nearing the top of the hill, the path takes you through the woods of Back Guards Plantation, continuing along the Cumbria Way.
Bear left, keeping on the path that passes under the large oak tree, and head through the gate.
Go left at the path junction onto the track, heading for Low Yewdale.
Just before the stone bridge, take the Cumbria Way path on the right, heading for Tarn Hows. Go across the fields, following the path into the woods.
Show/Hide Woodland rich in flora
Bluebells carpet the woodland floor in spring, along with other wild flowers and ferns. The wet environment is ideal for mosses that cover the rocks like blankets under a canopy of hazel, birch and oak trees.
At the top of the track, head through the gate and follow the path around the front of Tarn Hows Cottage, heading for Glen Mary Bridge.
At the bottom of the hill, head through the gate and go right briefly along the road (take care, it can be busy). After 22 yards (20m), turn left into Yew Tree Farm where you will head over a bridge. Take the path through the gates on your right. Yew Tree Farm is a typical Lakeland hill farm and was famously used in the 2006 film Miss Potter. Although this was not her home, Beatrix Potter once owned it and helped the tenants to set up the first tea-room.
Youll approach another bridge named Shepherds Bridge. Here you will head left over the road bridge for 33 yards (30m) before taking the path on your right, heading for Coniston.
Show/Hide'Picturesque' views
View of the valley showing Yewdale Crag with Holme Fell in the background. These rugged fells are characteristic of Central Lakeland fells and contrast markedly with the softer landscape to the east. Much of the valley landscape was developed in Victorian times by the wealthy Marshal family. Individual trees and block plantations framing views from trackways, are often design features of a landscape very much in the picturesque ideal.
Keep an eye out for steps to a kissing gate on the left into a field; the little-used path takes you to the remains of a disused lime kiln. If you decide to have a look, you need to return back to this gate to continue the walk back to Coniston on the main path.
Show/Hide Historic lime kiln
In the past, lime was a valuable resource for improving farmers' fields. By baking limestone in kilns, such as this now disused one, lime could be produced that was spread over the land to neutralise the naturally acidic soils.
Bear right at the path junction to stay on the main path leading out of the woods. The rocks to the west are called the Borrowdale Volcanics; hard rocks that give the central fells their character. A fault line runs through the valley, separating these from the softer Windermere super-series rocks to the south and east.
At the end of the path, go through the gate and turn left down the road back to Coniston village centre. To return to the start of the walk you need to head left along the main road for 545 yards (500m), then go right at the junction signposted to Hawkshead.
End: Coniston Primary School, grid ref: SD305978

14th Annual Signature Fundraising Event
Taste for a CureFriday, May 1, 2009Beverly Wilshire HotelHome | Photos | Dinner Committee | Chefs & Wineries Sponsors | Press | Auction
2009 Gil Nickel Humanitarian Award RecipientsGary Newman and Dana Walden
Gary Newman and Dana Walden serve as chairmen of Twentieth Century Fox Television and have overseen the studio's operations since December 1999. Under their tenure, TCFTV has delivered hits to virtually every television network, including "24," "My Name is Earl," "The Simpsons," "How I Met Your Mother," "Family Guy" and "Bones" to name just a few, and has maintained its status as the undisputed industry leader in producing animated comedies for prime time, with five animated hits currently in production on new episodes and two more scheduled to premiere later this year. Walden and Newman oversee the studio's enormously successful worldwide licensing and merchandising division, as well as the licensing and merchandising efforts for the properties of Fox Film, Fox Sports and a number of third party product including the crown jewel property of Microsoft Game Studios, "Halo." In the fall of 2002, they pioneered the now common industry practice of releasing television series on DVD immediately following each broadcast season, a revolutionary idea which helped propel the Fox drama "24" to blockbuster status in its second year on the air. Newman and Walden recently created a new dedicated animation department and partnered with Fox Broadcasting Company on an aggressive initiative entitled "Fox Inkubation" – a significant investment of resources aimed at continuing FOX's animation domination and finding the next cartoon blockbuster. They have forged an international programming and development alliance with ITV, Britain's leading commercial television producer and network, in which the two companies will develop and produce new properties as well as mine each other's library of existing franchises for potential series formats for their home territories. Walden and Newman have also been at the vanguard of developing new production models, creating fox21 in 2004, a production house aimed at creating creatively adventurous scripted fare for the cable television market, as well as unscripted projects for all the networks. They also launched the first studio mobile entertainment unit which originated the mobile phone series with 24:CONSPIRACY and has gone on to produce a wide range of innovative content based on the studio's hit franchises for the worldwide wireless market. A studio veteran, Walden had last served as the studio's Executive Vice President of Drama, overseeing development and programming of the company's hour-long network television series. Her slate of programming consistently rated at the top of critics' lists and ranked first in Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominations. Walden joined the creative department in 1994 as Vice President of Current Programming. She previously held the position of Senior Vice President, Media and Corporate Relations for both Twentieth Television and Twentieth Century Fox Television. She began her career at the public relations firm Bender, Goldman & Helper, where she last served as Vice President of the company's Consumer Television Division. A graduate of the University of Southern California with a B.A. in Communications, she resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Matt Walden, and their two daughters. Newman had last served as the studio's Executive Vice President and top ranking business officer, and was instrumental in building TCFTV into a leading supplier of programming. He also worked closely with Twentieth Century Fox International Television, Twentieth Television (Fox's domestic syndication unit) and FOX Home Entertainment to develop strategies for worldwide distribution of its product. Prior to joining the studio, Newman served for six years as an executive in the Business Affairs department of NBC, initially as manager and ultimately rising to vice president. Before NBC, Newman was a member of the legal department of Columbia Pictures Television and an associate with Lillick, McHose & Charles. Newman received his J.D. from USC Law Center and his B.A. from Yale University. Recently, he and his wife Jeanne, a prominent Los Angeles entertainment attorney, founded Jorian Hill, a sustainably farmed vineyard and winery in Santa Barbara County's Santa Ynez Valley, producing boutique Rhone wines including Syrah, Viognier and Grenache varietals. They live in Brentwood with their children, Jordan, Hillary and Reid. Active philanthropists, Newman and Walden have been honored by the Los Angeles Free Clinic, serve on the board of Chrysalis, a homeless relief organization, and were awarded the Legal Aid Foundation's "Access to Justice" award. Walden also sits on the Board of Directors for the Greater Los Angeles Zoo and the Los Angeles Free Clinic, and is on the Executive Committee of the Natural Resources Defense Council. Newman is a member of the Los Angeles Board of Governors of the Paley Center for Media and currently serves on the boards of the Hollywood Radio & Television Society, the Jewish Television Network and the Windward School.

Stumbled upon a Baby Saz, unheard of for the part of SD I was in so I had to grab it.
Picked up a bottle of EC18. The first bottle I tried was terrible, but figured that it may have been a bad bottle. It was really musty and bitter. Hope this one is better.

The initiative has been taken by Sony Music's label Day 1, which manages the band. It has joined hands with a travel sharing website Grallo for the campaign.
Conceptualised by Day 1, the initiative invites fans to tweet or instagram pictures of their journey to their favourite music festivals using the hashtag #GoldspotGrallo.

Grallo is looking forward to a good response from Goldspot fans, says Tom Ansell, founder, Grallo.
"The single called 'Abyss' is all about happy travelling, which resonates superbly with our work in event transportation," said Ansell.
"We're really excited to collaborate with Sony Music on this initiative and can't wait to see some awesome photos coming from the #GoldspotGrallo campaign. So anyone sharing a journey with friends, get posting," he added.
"Abyss" is the first track of Goldspot's new album "Aerogramme".

A Few Shots of Chartbeat's Offices
If you haven't heard of them before, Chartbeat is a realtime web traffic analytics company located in NYC. Chartbeat is a pretty great product that helps site owners discover what is happening on their site at any instant, and offers Newsbeat and Shopbeat that offer tools specific to those site types.
I recently began using their service and found myself wondering what their office space looked like, so I shot an email their way and Ben Rowland was nice enough to send over a few images for us to enjoy.
A lot of our images here are very stylized shots of offices that almost look like no one could actually work in them, so I very much appreciate looking into the office of a pretty great company with a pretty great product.

Comments about Keen Keen Men's Venice H2:
Great sandal that is very comfertable. I bought this sandal in my regular shoe size and had to send it back for the half size bigger. They run small. Very comfortable and stylish. Wear them all day.
Comments about Keen Keen Men's Venice H2:
Very comfortable--wear with shorts or jeans. Look good. Great for hiking, around the house etc. Plenty of ventilation so feet don't get that sticky feel. Only downside is you can't wear them outside in cold weather.

Airway/Tracheal Program
The Airway/Tracheal Program in the Division of Thoracic Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital provides specialized care for a wide range of airway and tracheal conditions.
- Phone: 617-726-6826
The Airway/Tracheal Surgery Program at Massachusetts General Hospital provides specialized treatments for both common and rare disorders of the trachea, offering patients state-of-the-art evaluation, diagnosis and care.
Our team of highly skilled thoracic surgeons use a variety of techniques, including tracheal reconstruction, to preserve the airway (trachea and bronchi), and voice. We work closely with specialists in the Mass General Center for Laryngeal Surgery and Voice Rehabilitation and participate in the Mass General Cancer Center's Thoracic Oncology Clinic.
Patients may be referred to us by physicians treating an underlying condition that has created the airway/tracheal issue, such as cancer or an airway obstruction caused by benign disease. We offer surgical options for patients with airway obstructions caused by benign disease or cancer.
Conditions We Treat
Among the tracheal disorders we treat are various forms of stenosis (abnormal narrowing of the airway), including:
- Congenital tracheal stenosis (birth-related)
- Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (cause unknown)
- Post-intubation tracheal stenosis (injury resulting from breathing tube placement in the throat)
- Tracheal tumors
- Tumors of the carina (lower trachea and pathway to the lungs)
- Tracheoesophageal fistulas (communication between airway and esophagus)
Patient Experience
New patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed medical history and physical examination. Tests include simple X-rays taken either at Mass General or at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
We carefully review the recommended course of treatment with each patient. If the patient elects to undergo the procedure, we explain each step, using diagrams and illustrations. In the operating room, while the patient is under general anesthesia, we examine the airway (trachea and bronchi) using a bronchoscope, a thin, tube-like imaging instrument.
After surgery, the surgeon reviews the timeline for recovery and course of medication with the patient and family. If the surgery is conducted because of an underlying condition (e.g. cancer), we confer with the patient's physician to establish an ongoing plan of care.
Evolutionary Research Approach
A research and teaching facility, we are dedicated to advancing knowledge of tracheobronchial disease and producing the next generation of thoracic surgeons skilled at managing airway conditions. Many procedures used in treating tracheal disorders carry the imprint of Mass General surgeon Hermes Grillo, MD, known as "the father of airway surgery." In the 1960s, Dr. Grillo invented novel techniques of tracheal reconstruction that allowed patients with previously untreatable conditions to undergo surgery. Today, we use Mass General's talent and technology to continually refine our techniques.
Recent innovative efforts include:
- Initiatives to isolate the causes of idiopathic subglottal stenosis, a rare inflammatory disorder with unknown cause
- Creation of a tracheal surgery database to study outcomes and prognosis of patients with airway problems with the goal of improving patient outcomes
- Research into possible tracheal substitutes
- Regenerative medicine approach to tracheal substitute

What's the Most Expensive Tinted Moisturizer You've Never Tried?
What's the most expensive tinted moisturized you've never tried?
Mine, Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Tinted Treatment Moisturizer at a whooping $70.
Why the hell is tinted moisturizer always so expensive?
I never could understand why the price tag is $42 and upwards for a mid-range tinted moisturizer. Heck, sometimes they are expensive than the actual foundation a brand offers.
What the hell?
I've never tried a $70 one that's for damn sure.
But who knows maybe Moisture Bound Tinted Treatment Moisturizer is worth every single penny!
What's the most expensive tinted moisturizer you have and haven't tried?
Do share!
4/30/12 13:28 Josh :D:
I've swatched this in store Muse, and it's HELLA luxurious feeling. If my skin was drier, I'd splurge on it. However, I could never justify the $70 for Lancome's new TM. Also, the Hourglass TM is totes worth the $55 since it can be used sheerly as foundation or built to a full coverage foundation.
4/30/12 16:42 Josh :D:
Awesome! It's an amazing product — I've been using it under my eyes and on my lids daily and don't want to live without it now!
4/30/12 13:38 Libby:
got this email from sephora too and i ordered it as well so the answer to your question is…the amore pacific one too T__T lol. i love the brand and it's worked well for me thus far so i've got my fingers crossed that the tinted moisturizer works too!
my current most expensive one is probably the laura mercier oil-free ver and it didn't work out well for me :\ made my face even greasier for some reason!
4/30/12 14:41 Phyrra:
I'm not sure which one I've never tried. I will sheepishly admit I bought the NARS tinted moisturizer .
4/30/12 15:40 Deb:
OK Muse, don't laugh but…..I tried several different TMs and none ever worked for me. Too dark, too sheer, too oily, too dry, blah, blah, blah. So one day I got the idea to mix some of my Clinique loose powder foundation with my Kate Somerville moisturizer. Weird, huh. And guess what? Turned out to be the most perfect TM ever. Dunno know how a powder foundation mixed so well with regular moisturizer, seems like it would have been a gloopy mess. But it's awesome. Try it sometime when you're feeling all mad chemist like. It's obviously not cheaper due to the price of Kate's products but I bet it would work with many far less expensive products.
4/30/12 17:05 LeAnn:
Ooh the funny thing is, a Kate Somerville brand educator taught me a trick similar to that! She said that if you love the feel of a mineral powder, but it's too dry, to mix it in with some of their Quench serum- and voila! She said it would buff on beautifully, glad to hear it worked for you!
4/30/12 19:24 Laci:
I love, love, love Amore Pacific, but I don't think I'm going to make the splurge. I have a newish tube of NARS that an awesome friend sent me. That said, I do own a bottle of Le Metier's Peau Vierge tinted treatment. That makes this $70 price tag look like a bargain. :/
4/30/12 21:08 Hope In A Blog:
The Amore BB Cream is worse – it's about 90$
4/30/12 21:09 Hope In A Blog:
the La Mer tinted mositurizer is pretty expensive too!
4/30/12 23:52 valentinasugar:
Oh my gosh Muse I can't believe you wrote on this!! I was just in Sephora the other day trying everything on. Cuz I just like to slap everything on my face when I'm in there. I came across this and I was like what…$70 dollars??. I tried it on my face and I was like WOW! I've been thinking about it ever since. I'm so going to buy it. I was going to buy it today but I might stop in to Sephora tomorrow. I don't wear that much makeup so I can justify buying this. I love it! One of the sephora ladies put it on my face. I suggest you give it a try.
Do you recommend a tinted moisturizer that you absolutely love?
5/1/12 0:51 Quinctia:
The one above, for sure! The most expensive I've had are Smashbox's and UD's, though I bought the first with a coupon and the second off of HauteLook, so didn't pay full price for either.
I'm pretty much sold on Asian BB cream for when I don't want full foundation, there is no point to pay TM prices when I can get BB cream for half the price, which includes shipping it from the other side of the world!
5/1/12 11:30 Christine:
I'm currently in love the NARS tinted moisturizer, which I ordered online at beauty.com when they were doing their 20% off deal. I love the way it goes on and I honestly think my skin has actually improved over the last month!
5/1/12 16:36 stef:
I tried the new Lancome Rénergie Éclat Multi-Lift
at Sephora…sooooo gorgeous but $75!! what the heck??
9/1/14 12:13 Janet:
Well, I realize you wrote this a long time ago, but I'm about ready to bite the bullet and try this Amore Pacific TM…even though I like the Nars tm quite a bit. I always want to try something else!
So… the most expensive TM/BB/CC/etc I NEVER bought and probably never will is Omorovicza Complexion Perfector BB SPF 20, 1.7 oz for $135. OMG. See, this one is making the Amore Pacific look wallet friendly. 😉
4/14/15 21:39 Janet:
P.S. Didn't like the Amore Pacific TM…wasn't worth it to me at all!!!!

Unfortunately I am unable to compare it to the DVD version, however for a first purchase this is definitely the way to go.
Have to agree with others who have described this movie as a landmark. I am watching the movie on television as I write, and have ordered it on DVD without hesitation, I had forgotten how good it was !
Check your Internet connection and go to your cart, or try again.
Theres a problem previewing your shopping basket at the moment.
I have only previously viewed Superman from TV transmissions and was somewhat surprised with the technical quality of this Blu ray disc.
Superman will always be a classic film and a landmark in comic book films in which other movies of its kind will be comapared.
Im now 29 years old and that child is long gone. But my love for Superman, the Movie remains ...
After viewing product detail pages, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in.
The man that shines from the rest in this epic is Superman himself, Christopher Reeve. Reeve injects a more human side into the man of steel and brillantly juggles the dual personas of Clark Kent and Superman the audience believe that they are two different men. This is done with such ease by Reeve that it is hard to imagine anyone else in the role.
Comment: Your item will be previously owned but still in good condition. The disc will play perfectly without interruption and the DVD, case, inlay notes and sleeve may show limited signs of wear. The video or DVD may have identification markings. Sent to you directly from the Amazon warehouse. Express Delivery Available.
Richard Donner makes us believe a man can fly thanks to the flying effects that won his team an oscar and John Williams opening theme is unforgettable.
Superman has the pleasure of boasting a ntastic cast. Marlon Brando takes a brief but vey memorable role as Supermans ther, Jor - El and is outstanding in his 10 minutes on screen. Gene Hackman is fiendishly brilliant as the evil Lex Luthor and Margo Kidder is a great Lois Lane.
I first saw Superman, the Movie when I was only 8 years old. I remember sulking before watching it bSuperman The Movie [DVD] [1978 superman return the movieecause my mother wouldnt let me see Jaws 2 which was on the previous night. Furthermore, I assumed Superman would be crap anyway. But I was in for a surprise...
Give it purpose -- fill it with books, DVDs, clothes, electronics and more.

items) item) items)
What I found particularly entrancing about the film was its original ending.
Superman the Movie blew me away, even moreso than Star Wars. I was absolutely flabbergasted by this, the most magical three hours of my childhood. It was an epic of all proportions ... brilliant characters, drama, effects, photography, story, romance, music, etc...
Amazon&p>Superman - The Movie [Blu-ray] [1978]
The effects, on the whole, are very good, it was 1978! The story, including the first 45 minutes, excellent.
If you already have an account, sign in.
However some research on the internet revealed the film was shot using diffusing filters to deliberately achieve this effect and therefore WHAT WE SEE IS WHAT THE DIRECTOR INTENDED, CANNOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT.
Particularly as the cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth won several prestigious awards for this film, yet I was viewing a workmanlike transfer to Blu Ray (markedly inferior to the Blu ray of Quo Vadis filmed twenty years earlier) with a continuous softness in the definition.
Superman the movie is the best film adaptation of a comic book character since movie began, it has rightfuly won a place in audiences hearts around the world with its mixed of romance, comedy and action.
On a personal note, this film contains my all time vourite movie moment, applicable from the day I saw it at the cinema.... from the helicopter malfunction to Lois Lane inting, post Superman saving her & the copter....it sent shivers of awe and excitement down my spine then, and still does to this day. Wonderful.
Please note that some or all of the discs in this product are in a dual-sided format. This means that the disc must be turned over halfway through to view the content in its entirety.
I even remember going to bed that first night and being unable to sleep because my mind had gone into overdrive, thinking about the movie I had just seen. And then, I think I spent the following two years on an hourly basis humming the tune, wearing the custume and/or basing Superman stories around my lego collection.
I am somewhat natical about image quality and every other Blu ray I have viewed have always met all my standards including sharpness.

In the early 1870's two American businessmen were tipped off by their friend James J. Hill, the great railroad entrepreneur, about an area in Manitoba which possessed an extraordinary potential for developing into the principal economic center for the region. With eager optimism, Thomas Carney and William Fairbanks led a colonization party in the spring of 1874 to settle the prairie on the east side of the Red River at the Canada-U.S. border.
Today Emerson is a charming, friendly town with an average population of about 700. Emerson Port of Entry is a major border crossing, accommodating nearly a million travelers per year. The twinning of Highway #75 has greatly enhanced travel for visitors from the U.S.A as well as Canadians going south.
See you in Emerson - The Gateway to Manitoba!

GRAND ISLAND, NY - Students at Grand Island High School are learning first hand the ins and outs of political elections. The timing could not be better.
Teachers, Bob Simpson and Rob Hennessy have their students following the Presidential election. They dissect ads, learn the differences between parties, learn about campaigns and the electoral process. They've also studied the Presidential debates.
For the students, it is a first hand look at what will someday be in their history books. For teachers, it's a way to energize the class and talk about what is real and the issues that may have an impact on the future of each and every student.

Comparison of Quadriceps-sparing Minimally Invasive and Medial Parapatellar Total Knee Arthroplasty
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Quadriceps-sparing minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with side-cutting instruments has been proposed to limit surgical dissection without compromising the surgical outcome. We conducted a prospective, randomized study to compare the outcomes of quadriceps-sparing TKA with conventional medial parapatellar TKA, with two-year follow-up.
We hypothesize that the quadriceps-sparing arthrotomy would not outperform the conventional medial parapatellar arthrotomy in TKA, in terms of postoperative recovery of quadriceps muscle strength, alignment of the prosthetic knee, and clinical outcome.
Procedure: total knee arthroplastyinstruments
Phase 4

Detailed Description:
Eighty primary TKAs in sixty patients of osteoarthritis constituted this study. Patients were randomly assigned to either quadriceps-sparing (QS, 40 knees) or medial parapatellar (MP, 40 knees) group. All surgeries were designed to set the prosthesis with thefemoral component alignment of 7º valgus and the tibial component alignment perpendicular to tibial shaft. Outcome variables included knee function defined by Hospital for Special Surgery knee score, quadriceps muscle strength measured by isokinetic dynamometer, pain indicated on visual analogue scale, range of motion, and post-operative alignment measured on plain radiograph.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|30 Years to 90 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- advanced osteoarthritis with radiograph-evident narrowing of joint gap,

Hall of Justice employees wear red to protest vs BIR-A A +A
Friday, July 25, 2014
AFTER wearing black in support of the Supreme Court over the issue on Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) for two consecutive Mondays, court employees at the Hall of Justice in Bacolod City wore red yesterday in protest of Revenue Order (RO) No. 23-2014 of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and Department of Finance.
Lawyer Gerald John Joven, president of the Philippine Association of Court Employees (Pace)-Negros Occidental Chapter, said the wearing of red shirts was observed in all courts all over the country Thursday.
Under RO No. 23 - 2014, all benefits received by employees and officers of government will be subject to 30 to 32 percent tax. The order was implemented last July 7, following the 15-day publication period after it was issued on June 22, 2014.
Joven said that their benefits should be spared from taxes because what they earn is just enough for their respective families and that the BIR imposed it without definite rates and there is no guidelines for the computation.
He said that petitions were already filed before the Supreme Court by some organizations in the Executive and Judiciary, including the Sandiganbayan Employees Organization, Judiciary Employees Association, Supreme Court Employees Association as well as other government employees unions and associations.
Court employees are also clamoring against the threat of removing the Judicial Development Fund from the courts. (TDE)

A trip to the Limestone Coast wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Naracoorte Caves. Recognised as one of the world's most important fossil sites, the caves offer experiences for all ages. For more than 500,000 years giant animals roamed the Naracoorte area. Falling into well hidden pitfall caves, their fossilised skeletons were left behind, giving scientists a rare glimpse of long extinct animal life.Giant marsupials such as the wombat-like Diprotodon, Thylacoleo the marsupial lion and giant kangaroos lived in the area. These animals, along with others, have been recreated into life-sized models at the renowned Wonambi Fossil Centre.The park's tourist caves boast a glorious display of stalagmites and stalactites. A variety of tours are on offer, showcasing amazing fossil and limestone formations. Adventure caving, allowing you to crawl, slide and squeeze through tight tunnels and chambers, is also available. The is also an on-site cafe and camp sites available. Please refer to our website for all costs and tour times.

Now I am mad, can't even read the text because it cropped and re-encoded my images to low resolution crap, so I am posting the images as well.
I suspect WorstBuy had something to do with this as well. Nice try! Only took me less than an hour to have it fixed, and I am reporting you to Google. It's all on server logs. They use Linux on all of their servers as well as Amazon and your cell phones. The internet depends on Linux.
Tux is also at work, not just Mrs. Ballmer. And Tux is using an awesome tile manager known as Xmonad.

New God of War Teased with a Short Video
23 July 2013
The official Sony Snta Monica Twitter account tweeted two short words: "Incoming soon" followed by a #Godof War and an instagram link. The link shows a short, 10 second video, of two characters fighting in an arena, however it's difficult to make out much from it.
There doesn't seem to be Kratos present in the video and the game doesn't look like any other God of War before it, which makes me think it could be an arena fighting game or something similar. The current console it's running on is also a mystery but I am sure we will get our answers very, very soon.
