Ripperton: A deeper Shade…
Swiss producer Ripperton has been steadily building himself a strong reputation for high quality electronic music for quite some time now, starting out in the late Nineties and working constantly ever since to become a revered producer and DJ. On his new album he explores his musical side to greater depths. The album, A Little Part Of Shade, was released back in June so I decided to have a quick chat with Ripperton about how it all came together and how its been received so far.

Toshiba's XDE600 DVD Player (with Video)
Don't want to invest in a Blu-ray player? How about the XDE600 DVD player from Toshiba? Granted XDE upscalling technology isn't as fancy as the real thing, but it will give quite a boost to some of your DVDs…
Want to know more? Here's the press release below.
Toshiba UK today unveiled the Toshiba XDE600 – an advanced upscaling DVD player based on proprietary Toshiba 'eXtended Detail Enhancement' (XDE) technology. The XDE600 succeeds the highly popular and critically acclaimed XDE500, and is targeted at the large market for DVD-owning consumers who want to get the most out of existing standard definition content libraries.
eXtended Detail Enhancement – upscaling with a difference
Toshiba's eXtended Detail Enhancement technology provides more than just upscaling, taking DVD picture quality to a whole new level. By enhancing video and achieving detail closer to the HD experience, XDE technology lets consumers enjoy their existing content libraries by getting the maximum out of standard definition images.
Whereas the majority of upscaling players simply extend image resolution, Toshiba's XDE technology includes three additional video processes to deliver sharper, cleaner images with richer, more vibrant colours and contrast:
• Detail Enhancement feature sharpens image edges while simultaneously reducing 3D noise
• Intelligent Colour enhances blue and green shades, which can often lose vivacity during the upscaling process, without compromising the integrity of the overall picture
• Contrast Enhancement improves contrast in dark areas whilst maintaining brightness in others. The result is a startlingly rich, crisp image from a standard definition source
Much like the XDE500, XDE600 includes the three staple picture modes of XDE technology – Sharp, Colour and Contrast – which enable viewers to ensure that the player produces the best possible picture based on the type of content being viewed:
• Sharp Mode offers improved detail enhancement that takes content one step closer to high definition – creating sharper edges and ensuring that detail is more visible. Unlike traditional sharpness control, XDE technology analyses the entire picture and adds edge enhancement precisely where it's needed.
• Colour Mode makes the colours of nature stand out with improved richness. Blues and greens are more vivid and lifelike, making the XDE600 perfect for watching nature and wildlife documentaries. Colour Mode combines the improvement in colour with the detail enhancement of Sharp Mode, delivering outstanding performance during outdoor scenes.
• Contrast Mode is designed to make details in darker scenes or foregrounds more clearly visible without the typical "washing out" that can occur with traditional contrast adjustment. Perfect for dark scenes where detail may be difficult to notice, Contrast Mode is also combined with Sharp Mode to provide a sharper viewing experience.
Using XDE technology, the XDE600 is able to upscale images to 720p, 1080i and 1080p, making it perfectly suited to any kind of HD ready TV.
View digitally stored content via USB
The Toshiba XDE600 features an integrated USB input, making it easy to play back DivX movies or JPEG photos directly from a USB key or USB connected device.
Multi-format compatibility
As well as XDE technology, the XDE600 features support for PAL progressive scan playback. DVD-R DL, DVD-RW DL, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW DL support is included, alongside DVD, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, CD/ CD-R/-RW, Video-CD, SVCD, CD-DA and HDMI compatibility via the HDMI cable included in the box. Each model is compatible with Toshiba's REGZA-Link technology (HDMI CEC), and also includes Component Video and Composite Video outputs, 1x SCART, Coaxial output and two Channel Audio outputs. In addition WMA, DivX, JPEG and MP3 support is also included.
Slim-line design
While the XDE600 includes many of the award-winning features of its predecessor, it also offers a new, slim-line design. A well-built, gloss black exterior case is fronted by a slanted glass-front fascia that houses the player's core controls. *For full specifications and availability regarding the Toshiba XDE600, please refer to Notes to Editors

This is a great idea, and I hope RTM can add it. I travel for work several times a year, and each time I get ready for a trip, there are tasks I need to complete. So a task template with sub tasks would work perfectly. For example, create/insert the template with a travel date of 15 XXX. The template would be set up to create several sub tasks with due date filled it: Check itinerary and pick seat -3 (12 XXX) set out of office -1 (14 XXX) etc.

Can someone explain what the tag, "zz1w " in the template above helps with? Also, It's not clear to me how the system "pick seat -3 (12 XXX) set out of office -1 (14 XXX" works.

We're taking a quick break from "Good Label vs. Bad Label" this week because we came across a fascinating article that we simply couldn't ignore. Package and Design Magazine's Linda Casey penned an article about a budding design trend in the world of craft beers. Needless to say, the minute we're done, we're heading to the nearest pub with our growlers in tow (for now).
It goes without saying that we Americans love our beer. In recent years, the popularity of craft beers has been undeniably on the rise. According to the Brewer's Association, Craft Brewer Dollar sales were up 15 percent in the first half of the year, and the retail dollar value grew to $7.6 billion in 2010, compared to $7 billion in 2009. The public's taste for beer is getting more refined, and as more and more breweries enter their product in the market, competition is quickly heating up; enter: the battle of the craft beer package designs. "[When] there are so many choices and they're all good, that's when brand expression becomes crucial," said Patrick Rowell, brand strategist at Hornall Anderson, "It becomes the only way you can win categories like this."
So how did Rowell's agency distinguish their client's – Redhook Brewery – design? They started with redesigning the box the beer is packaged in (known as "secondary packaging") so that they "formed a continuous graphic no matter which way the packages are facing." For the bottle label, Hornell Anderson decided to get away from the wordy informative labels to focus on a few keywords – "The craft category had become so entrenched in pushing back against domestic beer that it became sort of an arms race of who could tell the longest, most flowery, overwrought story on where the hops came from and who brewed it," Rowell explained. "In the vast majority of the occasions, that's not how consumers are thinking about it."
But it's not only the secondary package and the label that got a facelift – Redhook's bottle also received a makeover. "The bottle shape makes it easy to identify Redhook and conveys the message that both the beer brand and the person who drink it are unique," said Casey. From classic glass to aluminum-bottle hybrids, innovations in bottling materials have given breweries a variety of choices to make a statement about their brand.
Craft beer connoisseurs rejoice! Over are the days of hauling a 64-ounce growler (a refillable jug used to purchase beer) to your local pub, though some gas stations and Duane Reade stores in New York City have been experimenting with them. We remain eager spectators awaiting the continued innovation sure to come from these nimble craft brewers.
Whether it's a food label, cosmetic label, pharmaceutical label or craft beer box, quality label design is critical to a brand's success. A professionally designed label could mean the difference between global success and never making it out of the red. If you're looking for label design services, contact Blue Ribbon Tag & Label today. With over 30 years of industry experience, Blue Ribbon knows a good label. Call 1-800-433-4974 today and we'll get the job done.

The Edinburgh Live Music Census was coordinated by staff at Reid School of Music.
Reid School of Music
Music at the University of Edinburgh has a long and distinguished history, combining tradition with innovation, and theory with practice. We have a broad view of music, not confined to one kind of musical genre or tradition but engaging with classical and popular music, Western and non-Western music, professional and amateur music making.
We think of music as a performing art, a creative art, a subject of scholarly and scientific study, a site of technological innovation, and a practice with implications for many aspects of human life.
Situated in the heart of the old city of Edinburgh, Music enjoys the resources of two extraordinary historic concert halls, unique collections of historic musical instruments and a world-class music library, as well as well equipped audio studios and IT facilities.
Our teaching and practice spaces facilitate small group and individual teaching, both of which are still important facets of our teaching environment. Learning and teaching is a mix of one-to-one tutorials, small group seminars, lectures and class projects. Our regular seminar series give opportunities to hear and discuss current ideas from leading local and international researchers and from a range of practising musicians.
We are part of the creative environment of Edinburgh College of Art, as well as being linked to intellectual strands across the university. We are also strongly engaged with the local community, through our Music in the Community programme and its public events in the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Museums of Scotland.
There is a lively musical life across all areas and genres of music. We expect our students to develop a thoughtful and creative response to music, through intellectual curiosity and practical engagement, in pursuit of their own musical vision.

I hope I can inspire you
A tragedy has occurred. William, a Swedish engineer, wakes up in a hospital bed. The memory of what has happened is blurred, but the scream from his wife and the perpetrator's menacing voice echoing in his head. Once he decides to step up, he discovers that the hospital is deserted. Blood is smeared on the floors and walls, doors and stairs are blocked and everything seems to be pure chaos. What is going on?
A "diary" to tell you about my progress with the story Dark case
Posted by KrustiClawn on Jun 6th, 2013
Hey hey! I know I have been really bad when it comes to post information about my progress but, as I usually say, "better late than never".
I have recently finished two maps and is currently getting inspiration so I can start with the next map.
The voice acting is almost done. I have three voice actors, 2 of them done, one left to go, although I will get them at the end of this week according to the voice actor so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I can also tell you that alot of custom music is added! At least 75% of the maps will have custom music to be exactly.
I am most likely 40-60% done with the story, all custom materials and voice acting included. Some maps will be pretty short while some maps/quests will require backtracking (you need to go back to finish a quest. Or go back and search for items if you miss them) or simply include harder puzzles that will take longer time to complete.
QUESTION: Should I upload a demo or should I just upload the finished product later on?
I hope I can inspire you
I would wait for a full release. :)

The I-20 Economic Development District board tabled a vote to provide Louisiana Delta Community College with $600,000 toward an $8.2 million construction project of an Advanced Technology Center.
Delta board member Doug Salter discussed the "long-term" economic impact of the project rather than the educational benefits. He said northeastern Louisiana has the highest poverty in the nation, and the construction project aims "to provide people with world class tools and facilities, to provide unskilled and under-skilled students the opportunity to obtain a living wage."

There were heartbreaks for some players as Frank Karsten, leading the tournament after round 11 with a perfect record, conceded to a countryman and then slipped to 11-3 and tenth place as the pairings wouldn't allow him to draw in. Johan Kennes looked as though he'd provide the home nation with a representative in the top 8 after a last round victory, only for all the other results to go against him to leave him stranded in ninth place. At least he could console himself with USD 1500 for being the highest placed finisher in the Amateur Division.
In the end an experienced top 8 of four Germans, two Dutch, a Frenchman and a Swede battled it out for the title of Champion of Antwerp. One of those guys was Kai Budde; you might have heard of him. Yes, as might have been predicted, Kai smashed his way through the top 8 with a brutal green-black deck containing two Wild Mongrel and three Nantuko Disciple for a staggering sixth Grand Prix win. He now has twice as many titles as his closest rival. Can anything stop the German Juggernaut?

It seems that a lensbaby would make a great xmas gift for my photographer dad. I usually just get him a toy camera but something he could actually use with his SLR would be nice.
The only problem is that he is getting older and his hands shake, would he have a problem operating the muse? It looks like it requires a good amount of dexterity to use properly. Should I get the composer? (it seems more stable).
Also, I have seen many people try and emulate this effect in photoshop. It seems to look better though through an actual skewed lens. Is there a good reason for this or do some people just suck at photoshop?

Boost your SIM card with 1GB!
This is real interesting news that should please every mobile phone owner! Samsung announced a SIM card with 1GB of memory! That should potentially give every phone 1GB of disk space to store pictures or MP3 files.
Samsung 1GB Multimedia SIM Card Supports Mobile Multimedia Environment
News Source : Samsung Electronics
Paris, France, Nov 08 2006 (Korea Newswire)– Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a leader in advanced semiconductor technology solutions, today announced the introduction of a 1 Gigabyte (GB) subscriber identity module card solution, S-SIMTM that expands customer experience in multimedia intensive services.
The 1 Gigabyte S-SIM card will be demonstrated at booth 3C 029 at Cartes 2006.
The subscriber identity module (SIM) card is a smart card IC-based card used to identify users in GSM mobile environments. As multimedia features increase on hand-phones, high data capacity and high-speed transmission has been added to the encrypted SIM solution.
Instead of carrying a separate memory card, Samsung's 1GB S-SIM incorporates a system-in-package (SiP) technology to carry high gigabit-density NAND flash memory without growing the area size of the conventional SIM card. The small form factor supports the compact size of multimedia phones.
The new SIM solution provides added convenience to the user. High data storage capacity with tighter security features ensures safer transmission of personal information and data.
The added memory on the security tight SIM solution improves the user experience. Data intensive files such as multimedia messaging, email, digital photos and video, music files and online gaming are among the features now capable with this SIM solution.
Samsung's new S-SIM is based on SIM interface to ensure compatibility with conventional systems and supports high-speed MultiMediaCard and USB interface for faster transmission of larger data volumes.
"This new high-performance S-SIM demonstrates Samsung's technology leadership and vision to provide ultimate technology and solutions for the fast evolving mobile and IT environment. The added data storage feature coupled with security measures of the SIM card is a powerful token in the hands of the end-user," said Dr. Chil Hee Chung, senior vice president of chip card and microcontroller development team at Samsung Electronics.
After developing 128 Megabyte (MB) S-SIM in 2004, Samsung achieved the industry first giga-level density card, 1GB S-SIM last June. Working with leading Smart Card companies, Samsung displays the 1GB S-SIM solution at Cartes 2006.
Samsung expects the new S-SIM to support the explosive growth of next-generation mobile network services and multimedia content.

Habs could facilitate Heatley trade to Sharks
BRUCE GARRIOCH, Sun Media
Dany Heatley's quest to get out of Ottawa isn't dead yet.
Senators GM Bryan Murray confirmed in an e-mail to Sun Media that he could have "an option" to move the disgruntled left winger, but with the clock ticking toward the opening of training camp Sept. 12 at Scotiabank Place, the club will have to move quickly.
Sources say the San Jose Sharks have more than a passing interest in the two-time 50-goal scorer, but if they're going to make the deal, they might have to get a third team involved — possibly the Montreal Canadiens — because the Senators won't accept what the Sharks have on the table.
The Senators don't want anything to do with winger Jonathan Cheechoo, who has been offered as part of a package along with defenceman Christian Erhoff and a first-round selection.
The Sharks have never offered Patrick Marleau, who is only a year away from being an unrestricted free agent.
"If the Sharks don't have what the Senators want, then (GM) Doug Wilson might have to go get it from another team," said a league executive Saturday. "The Senators want a proven scoring winger in return and that means you might have to get a third team involved."
A source said that a third team could be the Habs, but wasn't sure what San Jose could acquire from Montreal to satisfy the Senators' needs to deal Heatley.
It should be noted the Habs, Sharks and Senators are all up against the $56.8-million US salary cap.
"Every team has cap issues one way or another," said a league executive

NEW YORK (September 12, 2013)--Five middle school students were in stable condition after an SUV jumped a curb and struck them near their Queens school, authorities said.
The accident happened shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday about a block from Intermediate School 73-Q in Maspeth.
CBS New York reported that a parent was dropping off his child when he evidently hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.
It says a group of men lifted the vehicle while freeing two of the students.
A rescuer, Lynx Garcia, says one girl had a twisted leg and a gash on her thigh.
All five students were taken to Elmhurst Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The Department of Education said one of the students is 12 years old and the others are 13.

Me and my sister hand picked best quality fabrics and created clutches. Let me know what you think. I still have to work on clicking pictures for a web. I did order light box for the same but post them anyways. Will fix it later
Currently working on some cute kids outfits...

Doesn't say how big the clutches are - should put dimensions on there - is it lined? Show inside pics too! Good job!

Good luck, they look lovely!

Slate's Explainer column, pointing out the possibility of Steve Colbert's run in the South Carolina presidential primaries breaking election law:
The Federal Election Commission prohibits corporations from making "any contribution or expenditure in connection with a federal election." A "contribution" includes "anything of value," including airtime. Thus each time Colbert promotes his candidacy on The Colbert Report, he'll be accepting an illegal "in kind" contribution from Comedy Central's parent company, Viacom. The FEC does exempt news programs (including satires like the Report) from the "in kind" airtime ban, but not if a political party, political committee, or candidate (like Colbert) controls the show's content. (emphasis mine)
So, hypothetically, if, say…FoxNews decided to back Guliani and use as much air time as possible to smear his opponents in either party, they could do that.
Or, if CNN wanted to portray the Democratic Party nomination as a lock for Hillary, and essentially tell the rest of the field "don't bother, just step aside", this law, supposedly for the purpose of keeping things "fair", would be silent.
Because neither of them are officially controlled by a political party.
Yet Steve using his show and campaign as a bit of performance art & commentary on how goofy the whole song & dance of partisan politics is would be a violation. Because by making fun of the process, he's corrupting it. Yeah, sure.
Now, we've fallen for a lot over the years. But I think it's safe to say that if someone seriously tried to use having their own TV show as a stepping stone to election, people would spot it a mile away and laugh. Something so obvious just strikes people as cheesy anyway, like watching an infomercial. Meanwhile, no matter how unquestioning the mainstream media is, no matter how transparent their front-runneritus, they're still seen as oracles of some sort. Is it any wonder why Steve & John's shows are so popular?
This is nowhere near a serious example, but the point is the same: restricting expression doesn't actually accomplish anything. Besides, Steve doesn't even share his actual views on anything on his show, it's all a character. Then again, that's one thing he's got in common with the others…
Edit 103006 @ 12:55 AM: Bill O'Reilly, in the process of promoting his new book, bashes Colbert's campaign as a stunt to, um, er, promote his new book:
"This is a publicity stunt to mock the country," he said.
O'Reilly said that Colbert announced he was running for president to get publicity for his new book, "I Am America (And So Can You!)." But he said Colbert refused an invitation to promote the book on "The O'Reilly Factor."
"Colbert doesn't have the cojones to face me," O'Reilly said. "He knows the book is dumb, so he's not going to come in. Instead, he runs for president."
I assume this is an inside joke between the two of them, because otherwise it'd mean Bill has somehow dropped his IQ into negative numbers. Even a chimpanzee on crystal meth can tell the publicity stunt aspect is the entire point of Colbert's run, the message being "honestly folks, what's the difference?".

Traffic passes through the intersection of State Street and River Road Wednesday in West Lafayette. West Lafayette officials are considering plans for a roundabout at the intersection. / John Terhune/Journal & Courier
- Filed Under
Had your fill of roundabouts yet? Greater Lafayette is, by no stretch, Carmel, with its 60-plus roundabouts on city roads and nearly three dozen more in the planning stage.
But 2012 will go down as the year when Lafayette and West Lafayette started to learn to drive and live with the circular trend that traffic planners love so much.
Ribbon-cuttings are planned this week for two roundabouts on West Lafayettes Cumberland Avenue. The Indiana Department of Transportation opened one at the mouth of the Hoosier Heartland Highway in November. And Lafayette quietly finished its Maple Point Drive and Concord Road roundabout in time for Black Friday shopping traffic to Tippecanoe Mall. In all, the roundabout count more than doubled in 2012, with nine in Greater Lafayette and four more in design stages.
ROUNDABOUT MAP: Heres where roundabouts have been built and are being designed in Lafayette and West Lafayette.
Love them or hate them, were deep into roundabouts.
And just wait ... bigger, busier and more involved ones could be coming soon.
Starting with State Street and River Road, one of the busiest West Lafayette gateways to Purdue University. Just maybe.
Its definitely not a for sure thing, said Dave Buck, West Lafayettes engineer. It could definitely go another way, and wed have to make the best of the intersection we have. I dont want people to freak out: Theres going to be a roundabout at State and River!
But ...
It is the most intriguing concept out there, Buck said.
Heres how it might just happen.
The concept of a reworked River Road/State Street intersection is part of a bigger puzzle of traffic work near campus, the anticipated completion of the U.S. 231 bypass next year and West Lafayettes visions for a better entryway to the Village area just up the hill.
In 2005, a seven-piece plan was assembled with projects intended to take traffic and draw it away from the Purdue campus. At the time, the projects stretched out through 2025 and carried a combined price tag of $29 million. The first of those projects which included a roundabout at Harrison Street and Martin Jischke Drive on south campus is done.
This is sort of a Railroad Relocation-scope project for West Lafayette, Buck said, referring to the step-by-step work done over three decades to reconfigure roads and remove trains from the heart of Lafayette. They took the tracks out of Lafayette. Were going to try to take the traffic off campus.
The next step, according to the plan, was to work on Grant Street, Chauncey Avenue, Northwestern Avenue and Vine Street, where they cut in and around the West Lafayette Village area.
The question was: With the city preparing to take control of North River Road and State Street two state highways once the U.S. 231 bypass is finished west of the city, would it make sense to incorporate that into the campus perimeter traffic plan? This summer, the West Lafayette Redevelopment Commission and Purdue agreed to pay $155,000 to engineering firm Butler Fairman & Seufert to get that answer. The study is expected back next summer or early fall.
Which gets us back to the roundabout. The one that may or may not happen, according to Buck.
It could be a real test or a real opportunity, Buck said. Either way, (what happens is) going to be a game changer for West Lafayette.
As it is, the intersection which carries roughly 19,000 vehicles from River Road and 20,000 a day from State Street each day is unfriendly at best.
I avoid it at all costs, said Matt Smith, a leasing consultant with Granite Student Living, which manages apartments at that corner and has offices just up the hill, behind the Triple XXX restaurant. I always go up and around to the (Harrison Bridge), even though its a bit out of my way. Its still faster when everyones sitting at the light at 5 oclock.
Buck said the intersection is where all of the conflict comes together where Purdue-bound pedestrians have to race across five lanes and against turning traffic and where cars stack up like an airport runway. A roundabout, Buck said, could make it easier on pedestrians and on moving traffic.
Its new. Its a fad, and thats why were seeing them, people might say. But theyre effective, Buck said. One of the beauties of a roundabout is that everyone is doing the same thing. ... As a pedestrian, its safer because youre dealing with two lanes of traffic and everybodys coming from one direction.
Still, for all of the work West Lafayette has done with roundabouts from the three-set slalom run now open on Cumberland Avenue or the larger Northwestern Avenue/Yeager Road version Buck admits: State and River will be a challenge, no matter what.
That includes dealing not only with a main entrance to campus, but also the ongoing learning curve and acceptance of roundabouts in Greater Lafayette. Resistance might be futile for drivers, but the right to be skeptical remains.
Its not that I dislike roundabouts. Its that they dont seem to serve any useful purpose other than to let the city say; Look at us, we have roundabouts! said Mike Dudgeon, of Lafayette.
Driving out to the West Lafayette Walmart this past weekend, when I was approaching the (Northwestern Avenue) roundabout out there, I couldnt help but notice that all the drivers waiting had an anxious, can-I-go-now look on their faces. Whats wrong with four-way intersections with stop signs?
Then theres the resignation and even grudging appreciation from Shelly Miller of West Lafayette, after she navigated the roundabout at Cumberland and Kent avenues last week: You just get used to them. Funny at first. But I think they work. They are what they are.
Buck said he understands that sort of blowback. Its new; its a change, he said. Buck also said the Northwestern Avenue roundabout, a place where some 28,000 vehicles go through each day as they leave campus or the middle of West Lafayette, has been a good baby step to see whether drivers were ready for a similar solution at a place such as River Road and State Street.
Its also been a learning curve to see whether roundabouts might eventually make sense on other parts of River Road, including at Williams Street and at the base of the ramp coming off Wiggins Street.
I think some are avoiding it and arent getting it on purpose, maybe, Buck said. But most people are finding that it flows and its simple. ... At River and State, there are more dynamics at stake.
West Lafayette City Hall is eager to find ways to make it easier and more inviting to get pedestrians up and down the State Street hill, from West Lafayettes Levee area into the Village and across to campus and vice versa.
Whatever happens with the River Road/State Street intersection will play a big role in that.
Because right now, its not helping, said Chandler Poole, the citys development director. Neither are the narrow sidewalks along State Street, he said.
I see, on these corners, tremendous opportunity, Poole said during a recent visit to River Road and State Street.
I see a streetscape that takes people up to Purdue one that says, Purdue, this way. I see things that get us closer bringing people toward the river and the Levee. ... Is that a roundabout? I see an opportunity for something to dress this up. ... But thats Bucks headache. Hell probably lose more hair with this one.
Bucks answer, for now: Lets wait for the study. See if River Road makes sense as part of Purdues ring road. Then talk about the shape of the intersection.
A roundabout is a tool in the tool kit, Buck said. Its not the right tool for every job. But it is for a lot of jobs. For River and State, it might be the right tool. Emphasis, might.

Skin Cancer Screening (PDQ®)

Contents of This Summary
What is screening?
Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormaltissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread.
Scientists are trying to better understand which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They also study the things we do and the things around us to see if they cause cancer. This information helps doctors recommend who should be screened for cancer, which screening tests should be used, and how often the tests should be done.
It is important to remember that your doctor does not necessarily think you have cancer if he or she suggests a screening test. Screening tests are given when you have no cancer symptoms.
If a screening test result is abnormal, you may need to have more tests done to find out if you have cancer. These are called diagnostic tests.

General Information About Skin Cancer
Key Points:
Skin cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the skin.
The skin is the body's largest organ. It protects against heat, sunlight, injury, and infection. Skin also helps control body temperature and stores water, fat, and vitamin D. The skin has several layers, but the two main layers are the epidermis (top or outer layer) and the dermis (lower or inner layer). Skin cancer begins in the epidermis, which is made up of three kinds of cells:
- Squamous cells: Thin, flat cells that form the top layer of the epidermis. Cancer that forms in squamous cells is called squamous cell carcinoma.
- Basal cells: Round cells under the squamous cells. Cancer that forms in basal cells is called basal cell carcinoma.
- Melanocytes: Found in the lower part of the epidermis, these cells make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its natural color. When skin is exposed to the sun, melanocytes make more pigment and cause the skin to tan, or darken. Cancer that forms in melanocytes is called melanoma.
Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States.
Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are also called nonmelanoma skin cancer and are the most common forms of skin cancer. Most basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers can be cured.
Melanoma is more likely to spread to nearby tissues and other parts of the body and can be harder to cure. Melanoma is easier to cure if the tumor is found before it spreads to the dermis (inner layer of skin). Melanoma is less likely to cause death when it is found and treated early.Anatomy of the skin, showing the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. Melanocytes are in the layer of basal cells at the deepest part of the epidermis.
In the United States, the number of cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer seems to have increased in recent years. The number of cases of melanoma has increased over the last 30 years. Part of the reason for these increases may be that people are more aware of skin cancer. They are more likely to have skin exams and biopsies and to be diagnosed with skin cancer.
Over the past 20 years, the number of deaths from melanoma has decreased slightly among white men and women younger than 50 years. During that time, the number of deaths from melanoma has increased slightly among white men older than 50 years and stayed about the same among white women older than 50 years.
The number of cases of childhood melanoma diagnosed in the United States is low, but increasing over time. The number of childhood deaths from melanoma has stayed about the same.
See the following PDQ summaries for more information about skin cancer:
Being exposed to ultraviolet radiation may increase the risk of skin cancer.
Anything that increases your chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. People who think they may be at risk should discuss this with their doctor.
Being exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and having skin that is sensitive to UV radiation are risk factors for skin cancer. UV radiation is the name for the invisible rays that are part of the energy that comes from the sun. Sunlamps and tanning beds also give off UV radiation.
Risk factors for nonmelanoma and melanoma cancers are not the same.Nonmelanoma skin cancer risk factors include:
- Being exposed to natural sunlight or artificial sunlight (such as from tanning beds) over long periods of time.
- Having a fair complexion, which includes the following:
- Fair skin that freckles and burns easily, does not tan, or tans poorly.
- Blue or green or other light-colored eyes.
- Red or blond hair.
- Having actinic keratosis.
- Past treatment with radiation.
- Having a weakened immune system.
- Being exposed to arsenic.
Melanoma skin cancer risk factors include:
- Having a fair complexion, which includes the following:
- Fair skin that freckles and burns easily, does not tan, or tans poorly.
- Blue or green or other light-colored eyes.
- Red or blond hair.
- Being exposed to natural sunlight or artificial sunlight (such as from tanning beds) over long periods of time.
- Having a history of many blistering sunburns, especially as a child or teenager.
- Having several large or many small moles.
- Having a family history of unusual moles (atypical nevussyndrome).
- Having a family or personal history of melanoma.
- Being white.

Skin Cancer Screening
Key Points:
Tests are used to screen for different types of cancer.
Some screening tests are used because they have been shown to be helpful both in finding cancers early and in decreasing the chance of dying from these cancers. Other tests are used because they have been shown to find cancer in some people; however, it has not been proven in clinical trials that use of these tests will decrease the risk of dying from cancer.
Scientists study screening tests to find those with the fewest risks and most benefits. Cancer screening trials also are meant to show whether early detection (finding cancer before it causes symptoms) decreases a person's chance of dying from the disease. For some types of cancer, finding and treating the disease at an early stage may result in a better chance of recovery.
Clinical trials that study cancer screening methods are taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Skin exams are used to screen for skin cancer.
If you find a worrisome change, you should report it to your doctor. Regular skin checks by a doctor are important for people who have already had skin cancer.
If an area on the skin looks abnormal, a biopsy is usually done. The doctor will remove as much of the suspicious tissue as possible with a localexcision. A pathologist then looks at the tissue under a microscope to check for cancer cells. Because it is sometimes difficult to tell if a skin growth is benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer), you may want to have the biopsy sample checked by a second pathologist.
Most melanomas in the skin can be seen by the naked eye. Usually, melanoma grows for a long time under the top layer of skin (the epidermis) but does not grow into the deeper layer of skin (the dermis). This allows time for skin cancer to be found early. Melanoma is easier to cure if it is found before it spreads.
Other screening tests are being studied in clinical trials.
Screening clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

Risks of Skin Cancer Screening
Key Points:
Screening tests have risks.
Decisions about screening tests can be difficult. Not all screening tests are helpful and most have risks. Before having any screening test, you may want to discuss the test with your doctor. It is important to know the risks of the test and whether it has been proven to reduce the risk of dying from cancer.
The risks of skin cancer screening tests include the following:
Finding skin cancer does not always improve health or help you live longer.
Screening may not improve your health or help you live longer if you have advancedskin cancer.
Some cancers never cause symptoms or become life-threatening, but if found by a screening test, the cancer may be treated. Treatments for cancer may have serious side effects.
False-negative test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be normal even though cancer is present. A person who receives a false-negative test result (one that shows there is no cancer when there really is) may delay getting medical care even if there are symptoms.
False-positive test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be abnormal even though no cancer is present. A false-positive test result (one that shows there is cancer when there really isn't) can cause anxiety and is usually followed by more tests (such as a biopsy), which also have risks.
A biopsy may cause scarring.
When a skin biopsy is done, the doctor will try to leave the smallest scar possible, but there is a risk of scarring and infection.
Talk to your doctor about your risk for skin cancer and your need for screening tests.

Devils defenseman Peter Harrold (10) pushes Rangers left wing Chris Kreider (20) into Devils goalie Martin Brodeur (30) during the first period at Madison Square Garden. The Devils won, 4-3.

A loss is a loss, in regulation or overtime, even with the bonus point the NHL awards.
But a loss when you've led by two in the second period, and by one in the third, and after you've forced OT with 21.3 seconds left in regulation, is hideous.
And then you add on the potential disaster of another concussion to defenseman Marc Staal, a player with concussion history, and well, Saturday night's 4-3 loss to the Devils was an awful one for the Rangers. ...

Which Cosmetic Brand is Most Popular Among Women
Which cosmetic brand is most popular among women? Famous cosmetic brands are costly but are they really good to use? Learn more about cosmetic and find out which is the most the popular cosmetic name brands.
First of all, looking at the MAC cosmetic brand, the M.A.C. Eye shadow retails at $14.50 dollars which is cheaper than the Lancôme eye shadow which costs $16.50 dollars. However, it is slightly more expensive than the Clinique eye shadow at $14.00 dollars. These eye shadows are all well known, more expensive than drug store eye shadows, and they are around the same price range. They are good because they contain rich pigments providing a luscious and highly pigmented makeup.
M.A.C. cosmetics are quality products compared to the cheaper drug store make up. M.A.C. powder eye shadows are easy to glide on, soft, and blend well. Yet, it does not mean that all drug store products are bad. Some Revlon crème eye shadows are great to wear. The colors are pretty and the crème is great to put on your eyes. They are half the price of Department store cosmetics like M.A.C., Lancôme, Estee Lauder, and Clinique. Yet, you may want to try Clinique if you are sensitive to make up as Clinique is famous for its Allergy tested products. You may also want to take a look at M.A.C. since they have a wide selection of colors that are designed for the modern chic woman.
M.A.C. cosmetics offer a contour image like Chanel does for modern women yet at a much affordable price which maybe the number one reason that so much people like M.A.C. cosmetics. In addition, their range of products offers people a wide selection that lures the customer. People start to collect the many attractive color lipsticks and eye shadows as they realize that they enjoy using the makeup products from M.A.C. company.
M.A.C. colors can be very striking or bold. Their dark and rich colors of eye shadows, liners, and lipstick create a confident image of the women who use their products. Their luxury items make women feel like stars and thus, many people like M.A.C. Essentially, M.A.C. cosmetics used to be designed for stars in photo shoots and later were made available for regular everyday consumers.
One thing about M.A.C. is that they hardly have sales and usually their sales are around 10% off. They tend to have them twice a year so people usually stock up during the sale events. On the other hand, you may want to search online for some discount. Try out the colors at a local department store to see if M.A.C. cosmetics is right for you.
You will soon find out if expensive cosmetic are worth the price that they are sold. At the department store counters they offer free make overs and you can give it a try there to see if you like their products.

Steve Glenn will speak about sustainability at the Residential Architect Reinvention 2009 Conference, September 14-16. Register now to attend the conference in Seattle, WA, September 14-16. Read on to learn more about the symposium.
Reinvention 2009
When will the economy get better? Or will it—heaven forbid—get worse? So much of what we felt we knew is unknown to us now. No matter which way the Dow points, one thing is for sure: How architects work and with whom are changing at lightspeed. The model for nearly everything you do is being rewritten. Leaner and smarter staffs; more productive and entrepreneurial collaborations with other people and other companies—these are the orders of this new day. It's not just "more with less," it's also "more with more"—more complexities, risk, and innovation than you ever thought possible.
Join us for the sixth annual Reinvention Symposium and find out how architects are already redefining the scope, capacity, and relevance of their practices. In the new economy, flexibility, engagement, and a solid grasp on value are all-important. Architects are uniquely poised to retool, rebuild, and reshape their communities from the ground up. In the next productivity boom, architects won't just serve the same dull masters, they'll blaze a new and better path ahead.

Every Thursday, a group of local veterans get together for coffee and donuts, and it's all thanks to a group of ladies called the Donut Dollies.
The Dollies volunteer their time to keep the coffee hot and fresh for the veterans from American Legion Post 159 in Bryan.
Thursday, Bryan Mayor Jason Bienski issued a proclamation for the Donut Dollies for serving our vets.
"A friend of mine brought it to my attention about their service to the American Legion veterans so it was honoring and fitting to honor the dollies for their service," said Bienski.
The Dollies have organized the coffee social since 2009.

Kent had always heard that loving someone made everything easier.
So why then, he thought, did he find it so very difficult to agree to go to Sacae with Lyndis, whom he claimed to care about so very much?
Did he not care for her enough? No, no, that couldn't be it. He cared for her so much and longed for her so badly sometimes that it was almost a physical pain.
But still, he was afraid. He had never taken well to change—Sain likened him to the earth, saying that he was, "very sturdy but unlikely to budge", and perhaps Kent's own fear of change was what had him nervously backing against a wall.
It would be so different out there, he thought. Nothing would be the same.
He glanced out of the window he found himself standing beside and tried, again, to come to a firm decision on the matter. Lyndis had been very bold to ask him to accompany her, and though his heart leapt in excitement at the thought of continuing to be with her, it also ached terribly.
As diligently as Sain worked to try and describe how love worked, and as many ballads as were sung on the subject, Kent still found all of them lacking immensely in heart.
His fingers brushed against the scarf tied around his arm, over his armor.
The crescent moon hung overhead as heavily as the silence between them. The garden was still but for the occasional hoot of an owl or warble of a sleepy bird. Finally, she stopped and turned to him. "Have you—?" she began, but he cut her off with a shake of his head.
"I know that it should be an easy decision, but I regret to say that it is not."
"It's been a week," she said, and he could see, plainly in the light, the disappointment in her eyes.
"Sain would tell me to go," he tried, forcing a short bark of a laugh to exit his throat. "But Sain would go anywhere, follow anyone, for love."
"And you wouldn't?" she asked, smiling, but he could see the smile wasn't one a truly happy woman would wear, and he felt terrible that he was the one to cause it.
"Forgive me, but I do not believe things are so simple."
She fingered the scarf around his arm, the one she had first tied there herself months ago. "Do you want me to take it back?" she asked of him seriously, the tips of her fingers digging into the knot.
"N-No," he answered, his voice wavering slightly in fear or uncertainty or perhaps just anxiousness. "You offered it in good faith and affection and I accepted it for the same reasons. I just…" He paused, his hand covering hers and squeezing it. "Was it this hard? To leave everything you knew to come here?"
"You forget," she said, tilting her head, "that I was leaving, anyway. That I had already lost…everything."
"Forgive me," he said, holding her hand more securely. "Still, it must have been difficult for you. Everything changed so suddenly."
"I left behind memories, not the reality," she whispered, tugging on their joined hands to encourage him to continue their walk.
He thought of his mother and half-sister, and wondered what they would do if he decided to leave. Who would provide for them, he worried, if not him? If he gave them all he had, would it be enough to keep the roof from leaking? To keep food on the table? To allow them to fetch a doctor if they needed one?
"Kent," said she, breaking him out of his thoughts. "I would not have asked you to come if I did not truly mean it, but I wonder if it was too selfish of me to expect you to make a decision such as this, to force you to choose, but I want you to know that no matter what you decide, I will accept it."
He did not think her selfish at all, and so he shook his head, but he wondered to himself if he was being the selfish one—it seemed no matter which decision he made, he would be hurting someone, and deep down the very last person he wanted to hurt was himself.
And letting her go without him, wondering until the day he died what had become of her—not being a part of her life—would hurt him more than enduring any other type of change life could throw at him.
So, when they had walked a bit further, and his mind had thought a bit more on the subject, he stopped and looked to her out of the corner of his eyes. "Lyn," he said, feeling as if a weight was being lifted from his shoulders, "I accept."
"Are you certain?" she asked after a moment of silence, and he could tell by the look on her face that it was a question she didn't want answered if he was going to say no.
"I… I'll need some time," he said truthfully, "to set things in order. To make sure that everything—everyone—is taken care of."
"I will help as best I can." Her hands found both of his, clasping them tightly. "But are you certain? Are you very certain?"
"I want to go," he assured her. "And I will. I will go. But everything will change, and I—"
"I'll teach you," she said, as if all his anxieties were laid bare before her to see and examine and understand. "I'll teach you everything you need to know, starting with the most important thing."
"What?" he asked almost breathlessly, his throat closing up.
"You and I aren't going to change at all."
His voice cracked as he whispered a fierce, "Thank you," and held her against him.
Originally I posted this on another account, but I decided I preferred it to be here. As you can see, another change has taken place—my pen name is back to its original.
This story came about because it's always something I've wanted to cover in a Kent/Lyn story, but never had the chance to try. I say this because I had saved all of my ideas for a long piece, but most of you know I lean toward writing short stories, so all of my fun ideas were being saved instead of written.
Anyone who thinks Kent would have an easy time deciding to go to Sacae with Lyndis should stop and think again. People are willing to do a lot for love, but that doesn't mean there's no hesitation in making the decision. In fact, someone who doesn't think about it beforehand is probably being careless.

Can you believe I took two and a half months off blogging? (OK, maybe you can, or maybe you didn't even notice.) Anyway, I should be back semi-regularly. Overall though, things haven't changed much. I still listen to terrible hip-hop music loudly in my office and take too many books out of the library at one time. I guess I've been doing more yoga, and I'm almost finished with my first Whole30 (these days, my meals look a lot like this). So I suppose you could say I've become a hippy-dippy crunchy paleo person*. We went to North Carolina and New York for the holidays, and the most notable thing from our journeys was that we spent a night in Asheville, and I loved it. In January I ventured further south to New Orleans with Cody, and next week I leave for the first of a couple already planned NYC trips for the year with Heather, Allie, and Adam. I finally bought a bar cart for the apartment—almost a year from when I first blogged about it, which goes to show you how long it takes me to make a decision on furniture.
Things I've been liking
- This book, this article, and this TV show
- Challenging myself into yoga poses like these
Things I've been eyeing
- One of everything from this e-commerce site
- A nice pair of sandals (and weather to accompany them)
- A yoga mat upgrade (eventually)
What have you all been up to? If you blog, leave me your most recent favorite post – I'd love to check it out.
* This isn't a bad thing; just never thought it'd be me.

"Make You Feel My Love" is a music video for the song of the same name. The video for Adele's version was released on music channels and her website in late September 2008. In the video, Adele is in a city apartment. According to the clock, it is 4:02 a.m. The room is in darkness as she looks out at the city. She picks up her phone and starts singing while texting. She continues sitting in darkness looking out at the city and checking her phone regularly for a response. The song ends, and she hears the phone "ring" indicating that she's received a text message. The video ends as she sits down to read the message.

A couple of goats casually strolled through Downtown El Paso on Friday.
Chew on that for a second.
Luna and Zenith caused a bit of excitement in San Jacinto Plaza.
One bicyclist quickly stopped to get a second look, and a skateboarder fell off his wheels starring at the goats.
During the rest of the walk, children's eyes popped and car horns honked, but most onlookers just took out their phones for a quick photo.
The two goats were on a walk with architect Bill Helm. The walk began at the future site of the El Paso Artspace project, for which Helm is leading the design team.
"Goat walking hasn't been a lifelong goal of mine," Helm said with a smile. "It's just something that came about."
Goat walking is the latest pet project by local artist Christine Foerster.
The goats were paid for with money from an Artist Incubator grant from the Museum and Cultural Affairs Department of El Paso.
Foerster invites residents to take the goats on a walk through a neighborhood of El Paso.
"The guest picks the starting spot based on their job or something they love about El Paso," said Foerster, who tags along with participants for the goat walk. "From there the goats decide where we go usually."
A GoPro camera on Foerster's hat documents the entire walk. She also takes an item found on each trail that will be cast in goat's milk.
The finished product will be featured in a small gallery on June 11 at the El Paso Art Museum.
"I really like working with live beings," Foerster said. "I like art that doesn't just happen in a gallery or canvas. Something people can walk upon and not know it's art at first."
Art was the last thing on the mind of Clinton Cross, 74, when he stopped to ask, "Can I pet those critters?"
The adventures of Luna and Zenith are also being shared on Foerster's website, goatwalking.com.
"Just walking is such a great way to explore your area, and here the goats' natural curiosity leads us," Foerster said. "Part of the prize of this project is making people smile."
Helm was Foerster's guest on Friday, and Veronica Soto, executive director of the El Paso Downtown Management District, was the guest on Wednesday.
Soto also took Luna and Zenith through Downtown, but she took them to the former site of City Hall to promote the "It's Happening" campaign.
"I invited our board (of directors) and they kind of laughed at me but now they are going to see it all over Facebook," Soto said on Wednesday. "We have some guerrilla marketing to our campaign. So this took care of two birds with one stone. First, supporting local art and, second, promoting our campaign."
Soto said the commotion the goats caused showed that there are many things to do in Downtown.
"You can have great unexpected fun in Downtown," Soto said. "We had people stop and take pictures. It was a lot of fun."
Helm also enjoyed his hour with the goats.
"We responded to the goats, and the goats responded to us," Helm said. "It was nice to see the surprise on people's faces."
Foerster said future goat walkers might include musician Jim Ward and city Rep. Steve Ortega, who is running for mayor, after the May 11 city election.
"It's kind of still in the beginning stages," Foerster said. "The grant cycle will end at the end of the summer, and then I will look for a good home for the goats."
Luna is originally from Animas Valley Farm in Aztec, N.M., and Zenith is a baby goat from Prairie Wood Ranch in Edgewood, N.M.
Neither goat wished to comment on the attention they attracted Friday.
