Janet Ng Chun-yee, 16, a Secondary Five student at St Clare's Girls' School, was last seen having lunch with friends in Causeway Bay on September 1, a day before school started.
Police searching for a missing person on The Peak were alerted by a foul smell at around 3.30pm yesterday. They then found the body of a woman hanging from a tree, 10 meters from the ground, about 100m from the signal tower near The Governor's Walk.
The clothes the dead girl was wearing were similar to those Ng was wearing when she sent a picture to her brother. That was the last time she had contacted anybody.
The body was swollen and decaying. It is believed that the girl had been dead for two to three days.
Police also found a wallet with an identity card, an admission ticket for Noah's Ark and some cash, but no phone was found.
Police said the body was around four feet, 11 inches, with short black hair. She was wearing a white blouse, green trousers and white sports shoes. There was no letter or note at the scene.
Ng had invited several of her classmates to The Peak on September 1 but the invitation was rejected.
In a WhatsApp message between Ng and her classmates, she also revealed her intention to commit suicide.
At around 6pm on that day, Ng sent a photo of herself on The Peak to her brother which showed the signal tower.
He said his sister had behaved normally before she went missing.
"As our family occasionally goes for walks on The Peak, I did not worry when she sent me the picture at around 6.05pm. But when I asked if our mother was with her, there was no reply."
The brother said Ng seldom talked to people she did not know, but that she was optimistic and had a good relationship with the family.
"We never pressured her even though she was preparing for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education examination next year. She liked playing the violin and was fond of animation. She even helped her friends do their make up which, I guess, is similar to cosplay."

Not what I expected!

This hotel is tucked in a corner and I had some reservations when booking it - however, its an excellent hotel with everything I need. Close to the mall also.
We loved this hotel!

My wife and I travel for a living and spend about nine or ten months a year in hotels. This was by far the nicest hotel we have stayed at for an extended period of time. The room was large, clean and modern. The in room kitchen was great and stocked with everything we needed to cook a home meal while on the road. That was a great change from the restaurants and fast food that we are forced to eat while traveling. I also want to mention the gas grills that were provided for the guests to use a no extra charge. They have a free onsite laundry that was a huge time and money saver also. Even more wonderful than the hotel and all of the amenities was the staff. They were all very attentive and genuinely friendly. They always greeted us with a smile and kind words. They went above and beyond to take care of us and make sure our stay was as pleasant as it could possibly be. What a great hotel.

(Master of Divinity Connections)
"Determined to make it happen"
My call came to me as I was sitting at a spiritual retreat talking about women in ministry. Suddenly I just had this overwhelming feeling that I knew I was supposed to be one of those women. That event started me on a journey that has been remarkable, wonderful, challenging, and sometimes scary. But one certainty has been clear since the beginning: Bethany Theological Seminary was going to be a part of that journey. It took me six years to finish my undergraduate degree, and then I took a year to rest, but I finally made it here!
When I attended a Campus Visit Day, I got so excited knowing that Bethany was the right place for me that I was determined to make it happen, no matter what. In my excitement I completed the application process seven months before it was due!
Because I have a family that I don't want to uproot, I chose the Connections program. But I'm close enough that I can take on-campus classes when I want to. I like the freedom and flexibility the Connections program offers so I can continue with my education while still being there for my family.
When the Lord called me to ministry, I pursued a degree in Christian education and became licensed. When the Lord told me to go finish my education, I was drawn to Bethany. Everyone at Bethany has done all they can to help me get here. And I know that when the Lord tells me to go out into the world, I will be prepared for it because of the growth and learning I experienced at Bethany.

By Staff
A new year brings new goals
There are dozens of issues Sammamish could tackle this year. Here are a few select ones we'd like to see accomplished in 2013.
Cable franchise review – Sammamish is set to renew its cable franchise agreement early this year. Gone are the days when the cable franchise meant simply which company will provide premium television to an area. Those cables now carry Internet and telephone conversations at the very least. Citizens consume media in countless new ways and are just as likely to wirelessly stream a show and binge-watch on a rainy weekend afternoon as they are to carve out 30 minutes during prime time. The City Council needs to pay attention to evolving media habits and be sure the franchise agreement reflects what's best for citizens now. It might also consider opening up the franchise to allow more competition.
Marijuana ordinance – The city has plans to develop a marijuana ordinance by the end of the year. It needs to follow through with a set of final regulations and stop this limbo of "temporary" moratoria that have been in place for years.
Klahanie – Klahanie residents will vote in February about whether or not to join Issaquah. If they don't, Sammamish leaders need to follow through on all the talk from the past year and find a way to annex the area.
Town Center – The council made a couple of changes to the Town Center regulations. It should resist the urge for wholesale change without an in-depth study (which frankly, the city doesn't have the time for right now, owing to a state-mandated Comprehensive Plan review). Any eventual changes should keep goals realistic; Sammamish doesn't have the daytime population to support much retail, particularly when the city is bookended by Redmond Town Center and the Issaquah highlands.
School partnerships – Issaquah schools used a windfall of state cash to bring in counselors from Swedish. Lake Washington schools partner with regional powerhouses like Microsoft for tech help. Both school districts seem to be, on a smaller scale, adopting the Sammamish model of contracting for services. They should look for opportunities to continue to do so. It allows them to provide needed services without adding to payroll dollars.
Arts opportunities – Last year the city's arts commission sponsored reading of plays and a discussion with Chinese artists moderated by an expert university professor. The year before, it was All Sammamish Reads and an author discussion. The commission should continue these innovative programs that find ways to expand cultural opportunities on the plateau.
Transportation — Keep the toll off the Interstate 90 bridge and maintain funding for Metro bus routes to Issaquah, even if it means a higher gas tax.
February elections – The trio of school district levies in the Issaquah School District, and a pair of levies and a bond in the Lake Washington School District, are all up for a vote. The only good thing about the dismal turnout of voters in the November election is the easy assurance of getting enough voters to validate the school levy election. Let's hope Sammamish voters get back on track and return their ballots in higher numbers in 2014.
State park priorities —Washington State Parks put out a call for proposals to enhance Lake Sammamish State Park and received three responses. They need to try again, seeking proposals for specific projects in the 2007 master plan that are waiting to be implemented. One should be for the RV, tent and yurt site, a sure boost in economic growth for both the park and city.
Future leaders — Sammamish is overdue to have its own leadership program. Start with a series of Citizen 101 classes for citizens to learn about their government, water issues, police department, school funding and volunteer opportunities. Informed citizens are tomorrow's leaders — and Sammamish can never have too many leaders. Elections for the Legislature will be in November, let's see some candidates from the plateau.

On Feb. 1 our beloved dog Jack went missing, having been startled by a salt truck. This began Jack's journey to come home and our 11 day heartache. We wish to extend our profound gratitude to the citizens of Red Lion, Dallastown and North Hopewell Township for their never-ending support, kindness, generosity and humanity, shown to us simply for the love of a dog. To our searchers, family, old friends and cherished new friends, there will never be enough words to express our profound thanks for each of you.
With the help of each of you and the entire communities our Jack was found by a total stranger Feb. 11, soaked, cold and hungry yet in relatively great health. He is home with us, safe, unharmed and recovering. "Andy" -- may you be richly blessed for your kind soul and gentle spirit, not to mention your patience, time and awesome eyesight.

Dick's Sporting Goods Store Display Features Tim Tebow on the Bench (Photo)
by BSO Staff | Posted on Tuesday, January 1st, 2013
A Dick's Sporting Goods store in New York City found a creative way to display their New York Jets jerseys, with the mannequin in Tim Tebow's number 15 firmly planted on the bench.
An amazing troll job by whoever came up with this display.
Considering his popularity among non-football fans, it will be interesting to see if they mark down his jersey like they normally do when a player leaves a team.

So I have a body that needs lots of pattern adjustments (FBA, narrow sholders, pear shape, etc).
I am really trying to understand fit, but I am failing.
I would like to create a fitting shell (Butterick 5678), but I don't have a sewing buddy to help me with the process and have really struggled to do it by myself (let's not even talk about how many iterations I have already done).
So this week I thought that maybe I just go to a tailor and have them do the fitting shell for me. Either from the pattern or they can just drape me and create a shell. But when I called a couple of tailors they acted so confused as to what I am asking.
Does anyone think this is a good idea? Bad idea? Have you done it?
I don't know how it is in your city, but here most "tailors" really only do alterations. So it makes sense that they might not know what you are asking for.
Look for someone who makes custom clothing, perhaps they would be of greater assistance. They may list themselves under something other than "tailor," before I gained skills in sewing I had a custom wedding dress maker make a dress for me....even though her normal business was wedding dresses, she was more than happy to make a simple sheath.
A dressmaker might do it for you, but it does require a fair amount of time to get right, and it might end up costing rather a lot.
How about making a duct tape body double of yourself? Then you can drape and refine the fit of the pattern much easier for yourself. A search on the internet will produce some more information and instructions for making the body double. It is best if you have someone to help, but it might be possible to make a version by yourself. I made one nearly fifteen years ago, and it is one of the best things I ever did.
My fitting problems include narrow, uneven and forward-thrusting shoulders, a narrow upper chest, a slightly wider upper back, a full-bust, and large hips.
Even with the body double and a basic fitting shell, it is difficult and time consuming to alter patterns, but does get easier with practice. -- Edited on 7/21/11 3:02 PM --
------Nicky Scholnick | Flora Nature Art
Irstanfill, you might be interested in reading about Lynn Rowe's experience having a tailor create a master pants pattern for her. I think it's a great idea!
@Sanibelle, that is a great posting and exactly what I am looking for. Since I've had a hard time communicating what I need, I may print out her original posting and take it with me when I visit some of our custom tailors.
On the plus side, I spoke to one of my former sewing instructors this week and she said she would be able to at least help me with a good tissue fitting...better than nothing. :)
Thanks everyone!
Have you checked at your fabric store to see if they have fitting classes and/or private classes where you can work on the project of your choice? That might be an opportunity to get the help you need.
That's great of your instructor to offer help. Good luck!

West Lafayette's Sarah Collicott hits over Harrison's Ashley Francis.
- Filed Under
They were only sophomores, but significant varsity contributors, when Becca Mimms gave the group the moniker "Fantastic Four."
Mimms, Tasha Baker, Katy Brose and Sarah Collicott are now seniors and the Fantastic Four hope to live up to the nickname with a regional championship.
"I remember when she first came up with it, I thought, 'That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard,' " Collicott said. "Over the years, it definitely grew on me. It's kind of made us closer that we have our own special little thing to call ourselves." ...

Biologists with special water-filled, aerated backpacks trudged up a remote creek in Northwest Sonoma County on Tuesday, carrying their precious cargo of hatchery-raised coho salmon to release into the wild.
Within a couple hours, they had put 4,000 juvenile fish into Devil Creek, part of an ongoing program to re-populate the Russian River with the endangered coho.
"They're really beautiful," Ken Leister, an Army Corps of Engineers animal care specialist, said as he used a small net to scoop up and examine batches of writhing fingerlings.
Coho Fingerlings Released
"You get the gold and the green color and some blues," he said, pointing out the subtle hues of the fish before they were placed strategically along a half-mile of the creek.
The coho salmon re-stocking program began a decade ago when scientists took some of the last remaining wild juvenile coho from Russian River tributaries and raised them in special tanks at the hatchery at Warm Springs Dam.
The captured fish were spawned, and their offspring tagged and released into a dozen creeks in northern Sonoma County that flow to the Russian River.
Coho mature in fresh water and go to sea before returning to spawn and die, all in about a three-year life cycle.
In a promising sign of their recovery, the fish have been coming back to the tributaries to reproduce and hatch in the wild.
"It was definitely a good thing to document," said Jeff Jahn, a biologist with the National Marine Fisheries Service. "Last year an estimated 200 Coho returned to the Russian River — a record return in over a decade."
Scientists counted 89 juvenile coho this winter that spawned naturally in Devil Creek, which flows into East Austin Creek and the Russian River.

LeBron staying in Cleveland? I dont think so.
I dont think LeBron stays. And i think he only has 2 suitors. New Jersey and Chicago.
Look he has to play out of his mind for Cleveland to succeed in the playoffs. Hes gotta get tired of it at some point. While hes got some good pieces around him, Mo Williams is inconsistent, and basically just a shooter, doesnt play good defense. Antwan Jamison is a model of consistancy, but hes never going to take a game over and take some pressure of LeBron. Lebron has to be sick of doing everything himself when it comes late in the game.
LeBron wants to win above all else. And thats why i think the only 2 suitors are New Jersey and Chicago. New York does not have a good enough team to win a championship, even with LeBron on it. David Lee might leave, who does that leave there? Gallinari is good but not a #2 option. I like Bill Walker and Toney Douglas but they are young role players at best. That team does not have championship caliber talent.
I believe New Jersey and Chicago do though, if you add LeBron to those teams.
Here is NJ projected lineup with LeBron.
PG- Devin Harris- good scorer, and better player than Mo Williams by far.
SG- Top 5 draft pick? Possibly John Wall if they land the no. 1 pick. If not Courntey Lee who is a solid basketball players.
SF- LeBron James
PF- Yi Jinlian- No hes not great, but hes a solid #4 player on any team.
C- Brook Lopez- one of the best young big men in the game. 20 and 10 a night. With 2-3 blocks.
BN- Courtney Lee if they land a stud SG
BN- Terrance Williams- showed some very good talent when given the chance to play.
BN- Chris Douglas Roberts- also showed he can be a pretty good swingman.
Their only flaw is they dont have any frontcourt depth, if they can add a solid defensive 4 or 5 thats a team that can win a championship right away.
Now Chicago
PG- Derrick Rose- One of the best young players in basketball. Has already showed that he can take over a game at will.
SG- LeBron James- You cant put Luol Deng here.
SF- Luol Deng- solid player. Plays good defense, good jump shot. Consistent 18 and 8 player.
PF- Taj Gibson- Showed he can get it done. If given a full time job your looking at 11 and 8 with maybe 2 blocks a night. Nothing flashy but solid.
C- Joakim Noah- Great on defense. Huge heart and hustle. Could be a rebounding champ in years to come. Developing a nice offensive game.
BN- Kirk Hinrich- solid 6 man. Good shooter a little inconsistent. But always plays good defense.
BN- James Johnson- shows good potential, not sure if it will ever pan out though.
BN- Brad Miller- Scrappy player. You know what you get out of him. He can spread the floor at the 5 and give LeBron more room in the paint.
The Bulls need some more depth at G though. They dont have a good shooter off the bench. They will need to find that in the draft.
Remember LeBron is going to make all these players that much better as well.
I have a hard time believing that this lineup is better than any of the ones above it. And LeBron will be looking at that when he makes his decision.
PG- Mo Williams
SG- Anthony Parker
SF- LeBron James
PF- Antwan Jamison
C- Shaquille O'Neal
BN- JJ Hickson
BN-Delonte West
BN- Anderson Varejao
The only thing i think the Cavs have over the Bulls and Nets is more depth. But depth can be acquired.
I cant see LeBron staying in Cleveland.

Keep Gooden on the Bench Please!!!!!!
Drew Gooden hasnt played in what 2 weeks? I personally think we have been playing our best ball since he stopped playing.
Tyrus Thomas has been putting up a double double basically every night since Gooden's absence. Ive been saying it for awhile that all he needs is the playing time and he can do it.
Noah who has still been inconsistent is playing well lately. Hes only had a couple bad games since taking over the starting C role.
Gooden is just like Larry Hughes a cancer to the offense. When i watch him play and he gets the ball he tries to back somebody down, but isnt strong enough, and then takes a fadeaway jumper. Ok so maybe sometimes he makes it, but it throws the offense off.
Our offense has been flowing better because Noah and Thomas arent looking to take jump shots all the time, they are looking to drive the lane and get easy buckets, or dish it off to somebody else.
We have been playing much better as a team with Hughes and Gooden not playing. Even Ben Gordon is taking less shots and passing the ball off alot more.
Please Paxson, trade Hughes and Gooden i dont care who we get, we can get Sam Cassel for those 2 for all i care. The team is better without them, if we can get a solid role player or 2 for these two ball-hogging bums please do it.
I really think with the way we are playing we can make a serious run in the 2nd half of the season. And possibly sneak in the 6th seed of the playoffs.
Heres some stats: Drew Gooden last played on 12/19.
Here are our main players' stats since that day. Luol Deng's since 1/12.
Points Rebounds Assists FG% Blocks Steals
Derrick Rose- 15.0 3.4 6.7 47% .2 .7
Ben Gordon 19.1 3.3 3.5 44% .3 .6
Luol Deng- 17.9 8.0 2.2 51% .4 1.5
Tyrus Thomas- 11.0 6.4 1.2 46% 2.0 1.3
Joakim Noah 6.5 7.0 1.0 53% 1.7 .43

Western Conference 1st round.
1. Lakers V. 8. Nuggets- Lakers in 6. Denver will put up a fight. They are a very strong 8 seed. They don't play much defense, but they run and score with the best of them. They will give the Lakers fits at times. But overall the Lakers are a better all around team. Especially if Bynum comes back and contributes. Kobe will play stopper on Iverson and Anthony. Also the big game experience of guys like Derek Fisher will come into play. The Nuggets dont have many playoff tested guys after AI.
2. Hornets V. 7. Mavericks- Hornets in 6. Another 1st round exit for Dirk. No matter which way this series swings it will be a grueling battle with both teams trading games on eachother's courts. The Hornets overall talent level will trump the Mavs. They just havent really been clicking with Jason Kidd yet. They should be by now. But who knows they may figure it out by the time the playoffs start.
3. Spurs V. 6. Suns- Suns in 7. The Spurs got the best of them in a series that could have gone either way last year. I dont see that happening again. Especially with the adittion of Shaquille O'Neal. Many have critcized the move but it will work against the Spurs. In past series' the Suns havent had another big guy they can throw at Duncan. And thats why the Spurs have gotten the better of them. Now they have 2 monsters down low that can guard Duncan all game. Parker and Ginobli are very good, but without Duncan producing like usual i cant see them winning. The Suns are a very battle tested team, and i think this year they will finally get past San Antonio.
4. Jazz V. 5. Rockets- Jazz in 5. I dont think the Rockets are that good. Scolia and Mutumbo have been a decent down low combo so far in the absence of Yao, but that will be exploited in this series. This is a Utah team that likes to go in the paint. Boozer is dominant and without a real down low defensive presence (dont say Mutumbo still is) i cant see the Rockets winning. Especially with the way the Jazz play at home. Houston doesnt really have anybody else that can score at will besides McGrady, Utah has many options and that will prove huge.
Eastern Conference 1st Round-
1. Celtics V. 8. Hawks- Celtics in 5. This series wont be close. I see the Hawks taking a game at home because Boston kinda lays it down a little. But in the end it wont matter.
2. Pistons V. 7. 76ers- Pistons in 6. This series could be closer than alot think. The 6ers are a solid, athletic team. They have a very good and underrated PG in Andre Miller, and up and coming superstar in Andre Igudola, and some young talent that can contribute (Louis Williams, Thaddeus Young) and a solid post player in Samuel Dalembert. The Pistons are still the better team and will play it close but ultimatley end up on top.
3. Magic V. 6. Raptors- Magic in 5. The Magic will dominate the post. Toronto doesnt really have a post player than can match up with Dwight Howard. Yes Bosh is a PF but he doesnt play like one. Hes a finesse PF if you want to call it that. They have nobody that can stick Howard and he will dominate this series. You also add in the their 3 point ability, this series may not even be close. Sam Mitchell cant make up his mind on who his PG is and that will cost him.
4. Cavs V. 5. Wizards- Wizards in 7. Arenas is back, Butler is healthy, Jamison is having his best season, how will they not win. That trade in my mind hurt the Cavs. They got smaller in getting Ben Wallace, not that they were big to begin with. Lebron is ailing a little. The Wizards have given guys like Blatche and Stevenson more time in the season because of injuries, and that will pay off in this series. Arenas has a grudge on a lot of people, and alot of times he takes it out by scoring alot of points, as we have seen with all the teams that he said he would torch last year, and did. Except for the Blazers i think it was. His presence now will be huge, and i dont see them losing again to a Cavs team that is not as good as they were last playoffs.
Western Conference 2nd Round-
1. Lakers V. 4. Jazz- Jazz in 7. I dont trust the Lakers. I dont think they are as good as everybody is portraying them to be. And the Jazz are no flukes. They made it to the Western Conference Finals last year for a reason. Deron Williams is even better. Boozer is better. This team has all the pieces to make a nice run. I think they handle the Lakers in a 7 game series.
2. Hornets V. 6. Suns- Suns in 7. Battle of the PGs. Nash comes out on top because he has the better supporting cast. Amare and Shaq down low are too much for Tyson Chandler too handle. His game is defense, he cant play both these mammoths. Then you add in guys like Barbosa, Hill and Bell who all play their roles extremely well, they have the team that can finally make it this year. The key is going to be how Raja Bell guards Paul. I dont think Dantoni can put Nash on Paul because of his lack of defensive skills. Bell will have to step up and play stopper like he has so many times before.
Eastern Conference 2nd Round-
1. Celtics V. 5. Wizards- Celtics in 5. The Wizards are going to be drained from a long battle with Cleveland. The Celts will be coming off their very easy series against the Hawks. The Big 3 are doing to be too much for the Wiz to handle. The only way Washington makes this close is if they somehow can score 110 ppg against the Celtics. And this being the best defensive team in the league, i highly doubt that will happen.
2. Pistons V. 3. Magic- Magic in 7. The Pistons are a very good team. But so are the Magic. They have the perfect formula for winning. They have so many guys that can step back and hit the 3. And then the most dominating big man in the game. Feed and Kick all game. This will be a very good back and forth series. But Wallace and McDyess arent big enough to stop Howard. He will dominate yet again. The only thing the Pistons have over the Magic is their experience and their overall ability to just win no matter how. But the Magic will overcome.
Western Conference Finals
5. Jazz V. 6. Suns- Suns in 6. This is finally the year that they make the Finals. Shaq puts them over the top. Two 7'0 big men that can both play at a high level is just too hard to stop. Its hard to win a championship without any big men these days. The Suns have 2. While Shaq is not what he once was, he is still a 7'2 body that can easily grab 10 boards and score 15 points. Thats still pretty good. And then add in Amare who can grab 10 rebs and score over 20 at will. Also the best PG in the game in Steve Nash, and a great supporting cast, Pheoniz finally gets in. The Jazz just cant handle them yet. The Jazz are a very good and young team. 2 straight trips to the Western Conference Finals will be a huge morale boost for next season.
Eastern Conference Finals
1. Celtics V. 3. Magic- Celtics in 6. The Celtics actually have somebody that can stop Howard while dominating the game himself. Kevin Garnett will finally make that trip to the Finals hes been waiting for. They are just too much for the Magic to defend. Howard is still going to have a very good series, but Garnett will prevent him from dominating like he will in the Pistons and Raptors series. Rajon Rondo will be the X factor in this one. His play will determine if the Celts win or not. Its time for him to step up and prove to everybody that he is a playoff caliber PG and can lead a team to a championship.
NBA Finals-
1. Celtics V. 6. Suns- Suns in 7. This will go down as one of the best Finals series' ever. The Celtics may havea slight advantage coming in because they have played far less games and havent had to give it everything they got every night like the Suns have thus far. But by game 3 that fatigue will wear off and the Suns will take control of the series. Hill and Bell are pretty good defenders and will prevent Allen and Pierce from lighting it up from the floor. Garnett will find it hard to get going with having to deal with Amare and Shaq two very good shot blockers. After Garnett the Celts dont have another guy that can play good defense down low. The Suns will exploit that and either Shaq or Amare will have a huge night every game. In the end its just too much for the Celts to handle. The Suns are too deep and this is their best team since Steve Nash came over. The Suns finally get that championship that they have been so close to for the last several years. And a move by Steve Kerr that was once blasted by all, will be glorified and he will be thought of as a genious. The guy that finally got Pheonix over the top.
It may be a little bit out there, but hey thats how i see it playing out. We shall see.

Hodgkin's disease (HD) is a primary malignancy of lymphoid tissues, and represents approximately 11% of the malignant lymphomas but less than 1% of all cancers. It is distinguished histologically from other lymphomas by the presence of the characteristic Reed-Sternberg cell. This pathognomonic cell type is thought to be a clonal derivative of activated lymphoid cells. Unlike other lymphomas, the tumor bulk in Hodgkin's disease is primarily comprised of normal reactive lymphocytes with or without fibrosis, with a relatively small fraction of malignant Reed-Sternberg and mononuclear neoplastic cells.
Stage I
1 lymph node (LN) region or single extralymphatic site (IE)
Stage II
≥2 LN regions on same side of diaphragm, or 1 extralymphatic site (IIE) and LNs on same side of diaphragm
Stage III
LN regions on both sides of diaphragm, +/- involvement of contiguous extralyphmatic site(IIIE), spleen (IIIS), or both (IIIES)
Stage IV
Disseminated, multifocal disease of extralymphatic organ(s), +/- LN involvement
For the purpose of both clinical trials and tailoring individual therapy, current practice is to divide patients into early favorable, early unfavorable, and advanced groups [5]

Obama struggles to project U.S. influence into global crises
WASHINGTON — Nearly five years into his presidency, Barack Obama confronts a world far different from what he envisioned when he first took office. U.S. influence is declining in the Middle East as violence and instability rock Arab countries. An ambitious attempt to reset U.S. relations with Russia faltered and failed. Even in Obama-friendly Europe, there's deep skepticism about Washington's government surveillance programs.
In some cases, the climate has been driven by factors outside the White House's control. But missteps by the president also are to blame, say foreign policy analysts, including some who worked for the Obama administration.
Among them: miscalculating the fallout from the Arab Spring uprisings, publicly setting unrealistic expectations for improved ties with Russia and a reactive decision-making process that can leave the White House appearing to veer from crisis to crisis without a broader strategy.
Rosa Brooks, a former Defense Department official who left the administration in 2011, said that while the shrinking leverage overseas predates the current president, "Obama has sometimes equated 'we have no leverage' with 'there's no point to really doing anything.'"
Obama, dealing most urgently with escalating crises in Egypt and Syria, has defended his measured approach, saying America's ability to solve the world's problems on its own has been "overstated."
"Sometimes what we've seen is that folks will call for immediate action, jumping into stuff, that does not turn out well, gets us mired in very difficult situations," he said. "We have to think through strategically what's going to be in our long-term national interests."
The strongest challenge to Obama's philosophy on intervention has come from the deepening tumult in the Middle East and North Africa. The president saw great promise in the region when he first took office and pledged "a new beginning" with the Arab world when he traveled to Cairo in 2009.
But the democracy protests that spread across the region quickly scrambled Obama's efforts. While the United States has consistently backed the rights of people seeking democracy, the violence that followed has often left the Obama administration unsure of its next move or taking tentative steps that do little to change the situation on the ground.
In Egypt, where the country's first democratically elected president was ousted last month, the United States has refused to call Mohammed Morsy's removal a coup. The ruling military, which the Umoted States has financially backed for decades, has largely ignored Obama's calls to end assaults on Morsy supporters. And U.S. officials are at odds over whether to cut off aid to the military.
In Syria, where more than 100,000 people have been killed during the 2½-year civil war, Obama's pledges that President Bashar Assad will be held accountable have failed to push the Syrian leader from office. And despite warning that Assad's use of chemical weapons would cross a "red line" in Syria, there was scant American retaliation when he did use the toxic gases. On Sunday senior administration official said there is "very little doubt" that a chemical weapon was used by the Syrian regime against civilians in an incident that killed scores of people last week. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly.
Few foreign policy experts predicted the Arab uprisings, and it's unlikely the United States could have — or should have — done anything to prevent the protests. But analysts say Obama misjudged the movements' next stages, including Assad's ability to cling to power and the strength of Islamist political parties in Egypt.
"The president has not had a long-term strategic vision," said Vali Nasr, who advised the Obama administration on foreign policy in the first term and now serves as dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. "They're moving issue to issue and reacting as situations come up."
Obama advisers say the president is frustrated by what is seen as a lack of good options for dealing with Arab unrest. But the president himself has pushed back at the notion that the United States has lost credibility on the world stage because he hasn't acted more forcefully.
"We remain the one indispensable nation," Obama said in a CNN interview aired Friday. "There's a reason why, when you listen to what's happened around Egypt and Syria, that everybody asks what the U.S. is doing. It's because the United States continues to be the one country that people expect can do more than just simply protect their borders."
But the perception of a president lacking in international influence extends beyond the Arab world, particularly to Russia. Since reassuming the presidency last year, Vladimir Putin has blocked U.S. efforts to seek action against Syria at the United Nations and has balked at Obama's efforts to seek new agreements on arms control.
Putin's hard-line approach stands in stark contrast to the relationship Obama cultivated in his first term with Putin's predecessor, Dmitri Medvedev. The two held friendly meetings in Moscow and Washington — Obama even took Medvedev out to lunch at a burger joint — and achieved policy breakthroughs. They inked a nuclear reduction agreement, and Moscow agreed to open up supply lines to help the United States pull troops and equipment out of Afghanistan.
Michael O'Hanlon, a national security analyst at The Brookings Institution, said the president miscalculated in assuming that a few signs of improved ties would be enough to overcome years of distrust with the Russians.
"The issue here is one of raised expectations, unrealistically high expectations that Obama himself deliberately stoked," O'Hanlon said. "He hoped that a more pragmatic, disciplined, less interventionist foreign policy would appease the Russians."
The White House's ties with Russia were further damaged this summer when Moscow granted temporary asylum to Edward Snowden, the former government contractor accused of leaking documents detailing secret U.S. surveillance programs. In retaliation, Obama canceled plans to meet with Putin in Moscow next month, though he will attend the meeting of leading rich and developing nations in St. Petersburg, Russia.
But the international impact from the National Security Agency revelations has spread beyond Russia. In European capitals, where Obama's 2008 election was greeted with cheers, some leaders have publicly criticized the surveillance programs. Among them was German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who questioned the legitimacy of the programs while standing alongside Obama during his visit to Berlin this year.
Obama has long enjoyed high approval ratings from the European public, though those numbers have slipped in his second term. So has European approval for his administration's international policies.
A Pew Research Center poll conducted this spring, before the NSA programs were revealed, showed that support for Obama's international policies was down in most of the countries surveyed, including a 14 point drop in Britain and a 12 point drop in France.

Following the Dodgers and Exploring The Team's Past
[powered by WordPress.]
Only in the NL West can a .500 record mean playoff contention but the Dodgers are right there with the Diamondbacks. With the All Star Game in the rear view mirror, the Dodgers hit the road for almost a week before coming home to take on the Nationals. I'm hoping to get down to Chavez Ravine for the game but the Dodgers are always a tough ticket. I wasn't impressed with the selection at the Dodgers box office but after checking out some baseball ticket brokers, I was able to find some seats that I wanted.

Chances Of Getting Pregnant Ovulation
Increase chances of Getting Pregnant – Effective Trying to Get Pregnant Tips and Tricks
Unlike the common notion that pregnancy is a breeze as proven by the high number of teenage pregnancies every year, many couples do not actually succeed after the first attempt at conception. Furthermore, the number of couples who are faced with conception problems is numerable with stories abounding the Internet.
You can also get information about your chances of getting pregnant at my free ebook here
If you have been trying for many months to have a baby to no avail, you can try these tips and tricks to increase chances of getting pregnant:
1) Mark your date of ovulation by using an ovulation prediction kit and calendar method.
2) Do not practice douching. Aside from decreasing your chances of getting pregnant, it can cause health problems such as overgrowth of harmful bacteria and fungi.
3) Take vitamins and minerals. Add herbal supplements to the mix such as ginseng and royal jelly. There are many supplements that can increase chances of getting pregnant.
4) Be physically active to keep your hormones at bay and to stay stress-free. However, do not overdo this as it will bring about negative effects instead.
5) Have sexual intercourse every other day; better if you time this to be at least one to two days before ovulation. Have fun when having sex and use positions which will facilitate the deposition of sperm as close to your cervix as possible, such as the missionary and doggie-style positions.
6) After having sex, you can also raise your hips and lie down for a bit to aid the sperm's travel toward the fallopian tube. It is quite normal to have the semen spill from your vagina, and this does not affect the outcome in any way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the chances of getting pregnant when ovulation is not likely or expected?
My husband and I had unprotected sex 11/22 (i am not on b.c.)… the first day of my last period (which lasted only 3 – 4 days) was 10/28… I am wondering what the chances are that I could be pregnant? Ovulation calendars say that I am not fertile on 11/22… Any thoughts!?!?!? Any similar experiences?
Many people rely on the Rhythm Method as a form of birth control, but they fail to realize that sperm can live 3-5 days inside a woman after sex, so you do not actually have to be ovulating on the day you have sex in order to become pregnant.
What are the chances..pregnant during ovulation?
What are the chances (statistically) of getting pregnant if you have sex while ovulating? I have been off the pill since Feb and still nothing. I know I have ovulated the past few months, cause I have felt it. I guess I should be patient, but i recently lost a baby and am anxious to have another. I have figured out that my cycle is only 24 days and not 28…maybe more regular now..

thanks for all your wonderful answers.it has really helped:)
Your chances of getting pregnant while ovulating are high. I know how it feels to lose a baby and i am sorry for your loss. My doctor told me just to take it easy and not want the baby so bad, cause they say if you want it, it wont happen. once i was able to relax and get my mind on other things I ended up pregnant. It is a lot easier to get pregnant when you are relaxed about things then anxious, cause that will put your hormones and things out of whack. Hope this helps. Good luck to you!
What are the chances of getting pregnant when ovulation is expected?
Okay, here's the thing. It was my first time ever and I'm not sure about my menstrual cycle, but if you base it on the average which is 28 days, it says that I was fertile and ovulating on the day of sexual contact. No protection (and please don't lecture me about this, it's not part of my question). I just want to know what are the chances of me getting pregnant, and is it possible that I may be conceiving already? What's the shortest time for me to wait until I would know for sure if there's really another life inside me? Please state as much details as you can. Thanks and much appreciated.
Healthy couples with no fertility issues where the woman is under 35 have about a 25% chance of getting pregnant each month. Still, if you're unsure of your cycle, you need to remember that you don't know when you ovulate, and that sperm can live in your reproductive tract for up to 5 days if the conditions are ideal (which happens when you're near ovulation.) If you're not trying to get pregnant, choosing a reliable form of contraception would be smart.If you know when you ovulated, wait about 14 days after ovulation to take a pregnancy test, or around the time you expect your period. If you're not sure when you ovulated or when your period is due, wait about 19 days after you last had unprotected sex to take a pregnancy test.
Chances of getting pregnant during ovulation?
I got my period on the 18th of Sept. I used a digital ovulation kit and detected I was ovulating on Oct. 3rd. My husband and I have had sex ever since I detected ovulation. I couldn't sleep at all last night because of lower back pain. What are my chances of getting pregnant and how soon would I feel any symptoms?
The ovulation kit came up positive on the 3rd of October.
Your chances of getting pregnant are as good as they possibly can be. Having sex right at ovulation ensures fertilization of the egg. It is quite common that fertilization does not lead to a pregnancy, but I still would assume your chances are better than 50%.
Very early pregnancy symptoms are frequently very hard to distinguish from PMS. If you are looking for symptoms like nausea, tender breasts fatigue and headache and so own, you are very likely to find them, because just plain looking for these symptoms can sometimes cause them. You will probably feel better, aka less bothered by early symptoms, if you do not look for them at all and just plain wait for your period.
Good luck and baby dust!

Maybe they built their ships around these stone ships, like a template. You could make more ships, faster if you had a big stone ship you could build around. You'd have a confirmation of your measurements and cuts because the wood has to fit around the stone ship the same every time.
It could be they just built the frames around the stone ships and moved them to the ocean for finishing touches.

|Trichostatin A and trapoxin: novel chemical probes for the role of histone acetylation in chromatin structure and function.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 7786288 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Reversible acetylation at the epsilon-amino group of lysines located at the conserved domain of core histones is supposed to play an important role in the regulation of chromatin structure and its transcriptional activity. One promising strategy for analyzing the precise function of histone acetylation is to block the activities of acetylating or deacetylating enzymes by specific inhibitors. Recently, two microbial metabolites, trichostatin A and trapoxin, were found to be potent inhibitors of histone deacetylases. Trichostatin A reversibly inhibits the mammalian histone deacetylase, whereas trapoxin causes inhibition through irreversible binding to the enzyme. The histone deacetylase from a trichostatin A-resistant cell line is resistant to trichostatin A, indicating that the enzyme is the primary target. Both of the agents induce a variety of biological responses of cells such as induction of differentiation and cell cycle arrest. Trichostatin A and trapoxin are useful in analyzing the role of histone acetylation in chromatin structure and function as well as in determining the genes whose activities are regulated by histone acetylation.

From left, Jason Grace of Redford hits his tee shot on the par-three, eighth hole as Mike Rankin of Westland and Dan Newton and Brian Zieman, both of Redford, wait their turns. Wetlands have grown so much at the course workers are beginning to trim them. (Todd McInturf / The Detroit News)
Inkster -- Inkster Valley Golf Club seems a bit out of place.
Just 10 minutes from Metro Airport, one wouldn't expect such a secluded 18-hole layout with extensive wetlands and natural areas so close to an urban setting.
The course has approximately 100 acres of wetlands that provide hazards on 14 of the 18 holes.
But I found those same wetlands that are the heart of the course's design hinder the experience on a number of holes.
The weeds, bushes and small trees in the wetlands areas have grown so much this season, they are beginning to obstruct sightlines from tee boxes to fairways and fairways to greens.
Golf is a hard enough game when you can see what you're shooting at.
The wetlands are so overgrown on Nos. 1 and 13 that you can't see most of the fairway from the tee boxes.
Even worse, in my opinion, you can't see the green from the par-3 eighth hole or the par-3 17th.
The approach from the fairway to the green on the par-4 18th is completely blinded by high wetlands. The approach on the par-4 11th also is getting close to no-see territory.
The problem is there isn't any way to see how much room you might have short or long of the green, and it's impossible to see if there is any trouble around the green or even how big the green is.
"It was great for us that we had such good weather in April, but it also allowed the wetlands to grow quicker than we anticipated," said Ernie Brito, manager of golf operations at Inkster Valley. "It's really all hands on deck getting those cut. We cut them once a year and we do it by hand and we've now just begun cutting them down."
Good thing.
The use of wetlands, forced carries and small landing areas were designed beautifully and fair, it's just a case of letting the natural areas and weeds get the better of the course.
I also didn't like the fact a number of fairway bunkers didn't have rakes, so the chances of landing in foot marks or bad areas were magnified.
In terms of the fairway, rough and the greens, the course is in good shape and there aren't any issues there.
I'd just like to see when I make a good shot and not be surprised when I drive up on one.
Inkster Valley Golf Club
2150 Middlebelt Road, Inkster, 48141
Phone: (734) 722-5030
Yardage: 6,709 yards from back tees; there are four sets of tees
Par: 72
Fees: $39 with cart weekdays, $49 on weekends ($39 weekend after noon)
Overall rating -- 2 1/2 tees
(Rating on a scale of one to four tees)
The course is in good shape but the price doesn't fit the experience and the blind shots get a bit annoying.
Course design -- 2 1/2 tees
The course features expansive wetlands and natural areas that make for forced carries off the tee and on approach shots. The horseshoe-shaped par-5 second is a bit quirky but overall the design is fair and challenging.
Course conditions -- 2 tees
Tee to green, the course is well manicured and the greens rolled smooth. Some of the wetlands are out-of-control overgrown, and don't even bother attempting to find your ball if you go in some of them.
Playability -- 2 1/2 tees
There are four sets of tees, but the two longest sets play to 6,709 and 6,100 yards. An option between 6,709 and 6,100 would be nice because 6,100 plays a bit short and 6,700 is all the course you want with the forced carries.
Customer service -- 2 tees
I was asked for my e-mail address when I made the tee time so the course could send me a $5 off coupon. I never received the coupon and when I asked about it before my round the gentleman said they just hadn't gotten around to sending them out yet. Really?
Clubhouse -- 2 tees
The large clubhouse can seat 144 people with inside and outside seating, but it's basically just one large room with a snack counter in one corner and a pro shop desk in the other.
Pace of play -- 3 tees
Didn't have to wait much on a Monday morning, but I remember seeing a ranger only once during the entire round. I wonder what a Sunday morning or busy weekday would be like.
Value -- 2 tees
$39 on weekdays and $49 on weekends is a bit much for what the course is offering. It's in good shape and there are some fun holes, but $39 is a bit steep.
Practice facilities -- 1 tee
There is no practice range and the course only has a medium-sized putting green with no chipping area.

A very special French guest takes a spin in the FF
He played Asterix in the films inspired by the famous "Asterix and Obelix" cartoons and he's gained huge acclaim for his roles Les Misérables and Napoléon. But now actor Christian Clavier takes a break from the set and explores the world of Ferrari
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Christian Clavier knows a thing or two about cars because he's a regular guest on the popular French TV car show M6 Turbo. So it was only natural that he'd eventually visit the Ferrari campus and meet the world's most beautiful cars – cars he freely admits he's in love with – face-to-face.
The first meeting was pretty special as the actor got to drive a new technologically advanced California sporting the Handling Speciale package.
Next he took a stroll through factory and the Ferrari Classiche and Corse Clienti divisions to drink in the glory of the Prancing Horse's history through its historic cars.
After this dip into the past, Clavier was brought right back to the present as he slid behind the wheel of the FF, our aggressive and quite extraordinary four-wheel Grand Tourer.
Clavier's tour of the Maranello complex concluded with a look at the future in the form of a close encounter with the newly-minted F12berlinetta.
It was a very intense day after which the actor set off back to France with a whole trunk load of memories from his Italian cousins.

Reading List by Jennie for March, April and May
Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackary
I'm toying with reviewing this. I didn't know that much about this classic 19th century novel before starting it; I vaguely remember watching part of a British adaptation of it years ago, on A&E, I think. All I knew was that Becky Sharp was sort of an anti-heroine and that the novel took place at least partly around Waterloo (I remembered the scene set at the ball the night before the battle, a ball that has been depicted in countless romances over the years). Anyway, I'm not quite done with the book yet, but I've enjoyed it thus far. The focus is not on Becky alone and her machinations, but on the family she marries into and her erstwhile friend Amelia (who is honestly a drip personified, but whatever) who is loved from afar by the hapless Dobbin. I prefer the Becky bits though her story turns kind of dark towards the end. I shouldn't grade a book I haven't finished but so far it's a solid B.
Improper Relations by Juliana Ross
I got this free through the Daily Deals; the novella pairs a plain, even mousy widow who is dependent on relatives with a bad boy (of course) hero who happens to be her late husband's cousin. She witnesses him seducing a maid in the family library, and subsequently he offers to tutor in the carnal arts. I can't tell you how many times I've read this unlikely, porno-esque scenario over the years; I pretty much roll my eyes automatically the minute it's presented in a romance. That said, even though I don't remember much about the rest of the story (though I only read it a month or so ago), I did give it a B, so I guess that the trite set-up aside, it wasn't a bad story.
Shield of Winter by Nalini Singh
Joint review with Janine here.
Hunger Strike: Margaret Thatcher's Battle with the IRA, 1980-1981 by Thomas Hennessey
I vividly remember the H Block hunger strikes of 1981. I think it's a combination of being at an age for which I have especially strong memories – between 11 and 12 – and the fact that my mother was a supporter (albeit from America) of Sinn Fein and, to a degree, the IRA. I have much more ambivalent feelings today, especially about the latter organization, but that era in Northern Ireland is still very much of interest to me. Anyway, this book didn't end up working for me, in small part because it's strongly slanted in favor of the British government and against the prisoners. I may not be pro-IRA, but I'm definitely not pro-Thatcher, and Hennessey is, rather unabashedly. The larger problem was that I was hoping for a more human, personal story and this was a very dry, academic work, focused on recently released government reports rather than on-the-ground first person accounts from the time. I gave it a D.
He's Come Undone by Theresa Weir
Also got from the Daily Deals, I think? I would say I should stay away from those but actually I've had decent success with the books I've snagged there. This book was a little uneven but still very compelling. There were things I didn't like about the h/h characterizations – the depiction of his mental illness felt superficial, as did the treatment of her past as a child star and betrayal by her mother. But they came alive as characters nonetheless, and that counts for a lot with me. He's Come Undone was reviewed by Jayne here – my grade was an A-.
Fool Me Twice by Meredith Duran
Between the Devil and Ian Eversea by Julie Ann Long
Also reviewed.
I was out of non-fiction to read (at least any non-fiction I wanted to read, since an 800-page biography of William Randolph Hearst that was actually in hardcover form rather than electronic wasn't exactly calling my name). I hadn't read this author's previous celebrated book, Seabiscuit, but this one sounded interesting and the reviews were great. It's a true story (more on that in a moment) about Louis Zamperini, who grew up in Southern California, became an Olympic runner almost out of nowhere, went to World War II, was shot down and marooned on a raft in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for over a month, and then spent years in a Japanese prison camp, enduring almost unimaginable torture. It's very compellingly written – I was drawn into the story immediately. But after a while I started to question the veracity of some of the details. The larger facts are indisputable – Zamperini WAS an Olympian, was shot down in the Pacific, did endure brutal treatment as a POW. All of these facts are remarkable enough. But the little details pile up and begin to feel outlandish – just about everything, every moment of Zamperini's life was apparently remarkable. It just became too much for me and affected my enjoyment of the book. It didn't help that the middle third was pretty unpleasant to read, dealing as it did with pretty much unending suffering and degradation in the prison camp in Japan. I'm not sure how to grade this because I did find it really readable and involving in parts; I'd probably give it a C+.
Three Weeks with Lady X by Eloisa James
The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick
I saw and really liked the movie when it came out, even though I had some reservations about the portrayal of the protagonist's mental illness, which seemed a little superficial (weird that this is the second book in this roundup that I had that specific problem with). It's even clearer in the book that Pat is pretty profoundly mentally ill – for one thing, he's been in a mental hospital for four years (a detail I don't recall being addressed in the movie), and is apparently unaware of that fact. When asked how long he thinks it's been since he's seen his estranged wife, he guesses a few months, when in fact he apparently hasn't seen her in all the years he's been away at what he calls "the bad place." The way that Pat's mind seems to work is strangely childlike (in addition to calling the the psychiatric hospital "the bad place" he refers to his estrangement from his wife as "apart time" and believes that it is temporary and sure to end soon). All of it adds up to a story and a romance that are kind of unsettling. Again, I felt this was all hinted at in the movie – Pat is delusional and given to bouts of rage and at times refuses to take his medication, but he's somehow healed (at least enough for a happy ending) by love, dancing and Jennifer Lawrence. Since I kind of adore Jennifer Lawrence and like Bradley Cooper and the rest of the cast as well, it worked for me in spite of my hesitancy. It's a lot harder to make it an HEA in the book. I still have about a 1/3 to go and I'm not sure how closely the book will follow the movie – the stories are largely the same but the emphasis is different. Different events happen at different times and we're just now getting to the part where Tiffany makes the deal with Pat to do the dance competition. I can't say I'm loving it but I'm keeping an open mind; if it weren't for the fact that I'd seen the movie I think I'd be a lot more concerned about how the story might end (I mean, it might end differently from the movie but I doubt it will be horribly depressing or negative; I hope not, at least).

Lake Seminole — Bass fishing is good. Fish are well into their post-spawn pattern. Look for moderately deep water near spawning areas. Medium-running crankbaits are good choices. Soft jerkbaits may also pay off. Bream fishing is very good. Bluegills and shellcrackers are active and hitting crickets, worms and even artificials. Crappies are being taken with consistency as well. Both jigs and minnows are paying off. Few reliable catfish and hybrid reports have come in of late.
Lake Walter F. George — Bass fishing is good. Target wood structure, docks and points. Shallow bass will take spinnerbaits and floating softbaits. For deeper fish, Texas-rig worms are working. Lizards fished on Carolina-rigs can pay dividends up the creeks. Crappie fishing has picked up somewhat, but remains slow overall. Occasional good catches are coming from hard-structure areas. Bream are showing marked improvement and catfish are fair on live shiners and cut bait.
Flint River — Fishing is good overall. Bream are concentrated in spots and earthworms are a good bait. Bass are reported as fair to good, with largemouths the dominant species. Whites and hybrids have tailed off, but a few are still being caught. Some bream are showing up below the dam and a few catfish, mostly smaller ones, are being taken.
Lake Blackshear — Good bluegill and shellcracker concentrations have been located recently and the panfish found in large groups are biting reasonably well. Crappies are slow. Bass fishing is good right now, but will likely decline temporarily as larger fish begin to leave the bedding areas. When this happens, look to the channel ledges and deeper bankside structure. At this point, however, keeper bass are relatively active.

A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.
When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.
