[862] Extraprostatic Extension on Prostate Needle Biopsy: Uncommon Finding with Important Implications
Sara M Falzarano, Karen Streator Smith, Cristina Magi-Galluzzi. Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
Background: The presence of extraprostatic extension (EPE) in prostate cancer (PCA) is correlated with an increased risk for developing distant metastases and corresponds to a high pathologic stage (pT3a). Among men who undergo radical prostatectomy (RP), those with extraprostatic tumor growth have been shown to harbor up to 14 times the risk of PCA death than those without it.
Design: All patients diagnosed with EPE on prostate biopsy (PBx) performed at our institution between 2004 and 2012 were retrieved from the pathology electronic archives. PBx histological findings, patients treatment modality and clinical follow-up were collected in an IRB approved database.
Results: Of the 4291 patients who underwent PBx, 97 (∼2%) had EPE. For 95 (98%) patients the PBx with EPE was an initial (diagnostic) biopsy. Patients mean age was 69 years (range 38-92); median total number of PBx cores was 12. Gleason score (GS) was 6 in 3 (3%), 7 in 29 (30%), 8 in 17 (17%), 9 in 44 (45%) and 10 in 1 (1%) case. One tumor (1%) was a pure squamous cell carcinoma and 2 (2%) were not graded due to treatment effect. Median percentage of PBx core involvement was 95%; median number of positive cores was 10. Perineural and seminal vesicles invasion was present in 78% and 6% of cases, respectively. Treatment modality was available for 86 patients: 38 men received monotherapy (RP = 8, LHRH agonists = 13, seeds implant = 5, bicalutamide = 4, EBRT = 2, IMRT = 2, 5α-reductase inhibitors = 2, orchiectomy = 2); 20 LHRH agonists + bicalutamide followed by docetaxel in 4 cases, 15 radiation therapy (RT) + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT); 10 RP followed by ADT in 4 cases, RT in 4 cases and ADT+RT in 2 cases; 3 combined therapy (RT+cryotherapy, RT +chemotherapy, LHRH agonists + chemotherapy). Of 18 (19%) patients who underwent RP, GS was 7 in 4 (22%), 7 with tertiary 5 in 4 (22%), 8 in 2 (11%), 9 in 7 (39%), and unassigned in 1 (5%); stage was pT2 in 1, pT3a in 7 and pT3b in 10. Two (11%) patients had lymph node metastasis. FU was available in 91 pts (mean 22 months). Radiographic evidence of bone metastasis was present in 28 (31%) men (12 at diagnosis, 16 at 1-4 years after diagnosis). Seven (8%) patients died of disease and 7 of other causes.
Conclusions: EPE on PBx is exceedingly rare (∼2%) and frequently associated with high grade GS. Despite the fact that more than half of patients received multimodality therapy, a third had evidence of bone metastasis and 8% died of disease. Our findings confirm the high risk of distant metastases and PCA deaths associated with EPE and highlight the potential prognostic implications of EPE on initial PBx.

U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, speaks about economic and social issues during a forum hosted by the Crowley Chamber of Commerce at the Grand Opera House of the South on Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Boustany is currently competing for office in the recently expanded 3rd Congressional District of Louisiana. By Paul Kieu, The Advertiser September 26, 2012
- Filed Under
WASHINGTON - With less than two weeks left before the 3rd Congressional District runoff election, U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany has more than three times as much campaign cash on hand as his opponent and fellow Republican, U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry.
Boustany had $732,376 as of Nov. 18, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. Landry reported $189,449 in his campaign coffers.
Landry and Boustany found themselves running against each other after Louisiana's congressional districts were redrawn to reflect the loss of a congressional seat due to slow population growth. ...

Rendering of the Swarming Micro Air Vehicle Network (SMAVNET) Project (via Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne)
Researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) are working on creating swarming flying robots for deployment in disaster areas. The Swarming Micro Air Vehicle Network (SMAVNET) Project currently consists of ten light-weight prototypes, which, per Engadget, is "said to be the largest network of its kind." Additionally:
the ten SMAVNET swarm members control their own altitude, airspeed, and turn rate based on input from the onboard gyroscope and pressure sensors. The goal is to develop low cost devices that can be deployed in disaster areas to create ad hoc communications networks...
Further, as Inhabitat notes:
By flying, the robots are able to overcome any difficult terrain or other issues they might encounter on the ground, and they provide line-of-sight communication so ground rescuers can contact each other at bases of deployment.
For more on the SMAVNET project, including a video of the prototypes in flight, see the EPFL research team's website about the project.

Inquisitive minds want to know whether this could be extended to non-disaster scenarios.
amazing! but can this also help if someone is injured or dead in the area?

Tour de France: Froome keeps yellow jersey, lashes out at Contador
Gap, France • Chris Froome preserved his healthy overall lead after a nervous finish to Tuesday's 16th stage, and then blamed his main Tour de France rival Alberto Contador for a downhill incident that could have ended their races.
Portuguese rider Rui Costa won the stage with a solo breakaway, while behind him the subplot between Contador and Froome thickened with a few days left until the finish line in Paris.
Although Froome is still more than four minutes clear of Contador, the British rider felt he could just as easily have ended up in hospital.
"One little accident and it could be the end of your Tour," Froome said. "In my opinion it was a bit dangerous from Alberto to ride like that, it's not good."
On the final descent down from the Col de Manse, Froome and Contador were undone by a sharp right turn as the Brit chased after the Spaniard.
Froome went off the left side of the road and had to plant his left foot on the ground to stop from toppling off completely. Contador also lost balance and hit his knee on the ground before quickly jumping back up on the bike.
"It actually put me in danger because I had to go off the road to avoid him," Froome said. "He couldn't control his own speed and crashed."
Contador, the 2007 and '09 champion stripped of his '10 title for doping, defended himself.
"It was really difficult. In normal conditions I wouldn't have slipped like that, but it was very difficult terrain and the bike got away from me," he said. "Sometimes you have to go for it, whether it's at the start or the end of a stage."
Froome seemed to be more than a little exasperated, and his radar will be on red alert in the days to come.
"All teams are starting to get desperate now and they're taking uncalculated risks," he said. "In my mind this Tour is not over until I cross the final line on the Champs-Elysees."

Id rather Jon Favreau direct and just make it basically Iron Man 3 feat. The Avengers.
I mean, there's no way they can make it work with all these people, right? Its gotta go one way or another, and IMO the best way to do it is feature Tony Stark as that main dude, and if that's the case, get Favreau.
Still I can't wait. I don't see a way that Marvel will let this get screwed up.
haha good point rez. also dare devil was a huge fail. no way avengers will make it to theaters in 2012. there's still like 4 movies that are planned to come out before that. if they pull off some crazy miracle and work 24/7 around the year maybe. if spiderman is in the avengers movie i hope they give him the robot suit that tony stark makes for him. or did that happen in civil war?
Originally posted by Inactive UserI'm told Marvel Studios is in final negotiations for Buffy the Vampire Slayer series architect Joss Whedon to direct Marvel Studios' The Avengers.
The film that would amount to an all-star team of Marvel superheros, including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), as well as SHIELD leader Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).
true Daredevil, Punisher (both of them), and Ghost Rider sucked ass. but they weren't Marvel Studios movies. The only two movies to be done directly by Marvel so far are Iron Man and the second Hulk. so far they're 2/2 in my book.
Spider-man 1 was the best marvel movie imo.
also, Disney owns Marvel.

The Sept. 10 column by Ruth Ann Dailey ("Obama's Muscle Threatens Liberty") makes very clear the policies of the Republican Party. Quoting from her column she indicates that she and the Republican Party oppose government support "for food, housing, retirement or health care."
The implications are clear. If poor people are hungry let them starve.
If families cannot find affordable housing let them live under bridges.
If people cannot save enough for retirement they should not live so long.
If there is no affordable health care for many poor families let the poor children die.
After all, the rich will not suffer from such policies and they are the ones who finance the Republican Party.

Forty-seven miles per hour isn't really that quick. You'll probably pass that mark countless times on your daily commute. But when you're at Ford's Dunton test track, barrelling into the intimidating and crumbling banking, taking your hands off the wheel should feel very wrong.
But that's not really foremost in my mind right now. I'm at Ford's proving ground to drive the company's one and only GT70 prototype, and decide for myself whether Uncle Henry was right to pull the plug and not take this promising car rallying, opting for the safety of the Escort RS instead.
My plan had been hatched on a visit to Ford's Heritage collection back in 2007. I'd spotted the purposeful-looking car under a dust-sheet in a quiet corner of their 'shed' and instantly knew that it needed to be driven. Hard.
The GT70 actually hasn't been under that cover for too long; it had been one of the stars of the 2003 Goodwood Festival of Speed following a full restoration the previous year. Be that as it may, something that looks so squat and sporting deserves a regular airing on the track – competition cars should never be static exhibits.
Thankfully, Ford Heritage's boss John Nevill feels the same, and almost as soon as I've made the obvious request he's tasked the engineers back in Dagenham with recommissioning the GT70 especially for Octane. But what is it about the car that's so fascinating, and why do I feel magnetically drawn to the GT70?
It never won any rallies, nor did it go on to become a showroom superstar – and yet I can see its influence in future rallying supercars such as the Lancia Stratos and Ford RS200.
'The GT70's creation had been triggered by our poor performance on the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally,' Ford Competitions manager Stuart Turner says. 'The Escort Twin-Cams, driven by Clark, Timo Makinen and Hannu Mikkola, at best finished fifth and seventh, and had been left behind by the winning Porsche 911S and Alpine-Renault A110.'
It was in the snow-covered mountain passes where the Escort struggled, and the pair concluded that Ford needed a rear-engined two-seater cast in the same mould. The idea was germinated on the BOAC flight back from the South of France, '…and even before we'd made it to the UK, I had sketched out a series of rough ideas on the Trident menu, determined to turn them into reality.'
Turner developed the idea and was soon on the 'phone to Ford's UK boss Walter Hayes. 'His support was absolutely essential to the programme. Walter was a charismatic leader, in the sense of being able to see things through, and he fully understood the importance of motor sport to the company,' Stuart says. Hayes allocated a budget, and Turner was on his way.
'I always worked on the theory that it's better to produce something tangible to show to management rather than try to sell them an idea. The GT70 wouldn't have stood a chance had we not built the first car.'
The Competitions departments in the UK and Germany worked feverishly on the GT70 to deliver a running prototype in just nine months. Turner outsourced much of the project – he gave the job of body and chassis design to GT40 veteran Len Bailey (who'd never actually designed a rally car before). The chassis was then built by Maurice Gomm, while the interior layout was penned by Joe Oros, under the watchful eye of Hannu Mikkola.
Beating the opposition was the ultimate goal of the GT70 but, because he needed to get it past the company accountants, the car that Turner's team had put together needed to stack up financially. Walter Hayes commented at the time: 'The GT70 needed to achieve great simplicity, and utilise as many Ford parts as possible.'
Turner smiles at the memory. 'We gave Len access to the local Ford dealer's parts store and made sure that if he needed a switch, he'd get one off the shelf rather than design a special one.' It worked. The first prototype cost a mere ,000 to put together. 'Small change', as Turner describes it.
The ingredients that the Competitions department came up with in the end were nice and simple. Kit car-like, even. The chassis was elegant, fabricated in straight lines, and drive was provided by the Capri RS 2.6-litre V6 engine mated to a ZF DS25 five-speed 'box.
In September 1970 the mid-engined GT70 had its first competitive outing, on the Ronde Cevenole road race in France. Roger Clark piloted the car on this event and realised that it had genuine potential, even though it didn't have front-running pace. 'One item in the rather impossible brief to Len Bailey was that the car had to be strong enough to win rallies, and light enough to win races,' Clark said after he retired with engine, brake and suspension problems.
But Turner now had his car to show to management, and by the following month the GT70 was looking like a production reality. Hayes approached Ford USA to ask for the funding to build 500 cars, citing the need for a competition weapon as well as a showroom trinket. He called the GT70 a 'prestige sports car', justifying the need to build it by stating: 'Ford's biggest image deficiency is in the field of engineering reputation. We believe that GT70 would add tremendously to the status of the cars that come out of AVO.'
While the Americans pondered the GT70's future, development continued. A rough-road and circuit programme took place across the UK and Europe, and Peter Darley, the Competitions manager at Broadspeed, remembers the German Ford team rolling into Paul Ricard with the GT70. 'It was quite an operation, and the unadorned silver prototype looked unlike any other rally machine I'd seen before,' he says. 'François Mazet was test driving, and Len was also there, flitting between the '70 and a selection of Cologne Capris.'
Peter adds: 'This was a major test. Ford's top brass, including Neerpasch and Braungart, were there, as were the drivers Stuck and Glemser. Stuck didn't drive, saying that if he ever got in the '70, it was certain he would never get out without removing the roof!'
Although they didn't know it at the time, the GT70's days were numbered. Even as the engineers decamped to France, the programme was losing impetus. 'AVO was to build the 500 cars, but they produced a 15-page paper detailing 100 changes that would be needed to enable production,' Stuart says. 'We saw it as a hostile act, but in reality they were right.' In the end, just six cars were built.
Production problems aside, a nine-week strike at Ford hampered its introduction at the beginning of 1971. Changes in rallying regulations and restlessness in the Middle East also conspired to knock the wind out of the GT70's sails. As Turner says, 'When difficult conditions apply, it's the wrong time to follow such an oddball project.' For 1971 the Ghia-styled MkII version appeared on the motor show circuit, and it looked to have the potential to be a stunning road and track car.
The final nail in the coffin came from an unexpected source.
After its less than promising start, the Escort started to come good in rallying in 1972. In RS1600 form it was more than capable of winning events outright, while the GT70 continued to disappoint. François Mazet and Jean Todt crashed out of the 1971 Tour de France while leading, while Guy Chasseuil showed promise in the Ford France-prepared BP team's GT70 on French tarmac rallies throughout 1972 and '73, but solid results were elusive.
The GT70 had been designed to run with a variety of engines, and when Ford France fitted a Cosworth BDA the car was transformed.
'It was hopeless with the V6 in the back,' Stuart recalls. 'But the GT70 came good with the Cosworth.'
It's a lot to ponder when I climb aboard for the GT70's first shakedown in six years. First impressions are good – it's a dainty-looking car, smaller than it looks in pictures, bright in its BP colours. Ford Heritage's top engineer, Ivan Bartholomeusz, has bolted a pair of Cibi�s to the front, and they add character to the fairly generic-looking sports car.
The cabin is well stocked with instrumentation, as you'd expect in a competition car. Clambering in reveals what Stuart Turner describes as the GT70's biggest mistake – its cramped cabin. Hemmed in with the racing seat as far back as possible, my knees are still wrapped around my ears, and the shirt-button wheel is practically rammed in my chest. The gearstick isn't ideally placed either: it's high and mounted too far rearwards. Competing in a full-length rally must have been torture.
Best ignore the strong smell of petrol and glassfibre because it's time to fire the ignition. Switch on the electrics, prime the fuel pump and hit the starter, and the Cosworth BDG (it received the larger engine during its 2002 restoration) explodes into life. There's no soundproofing, and ear defenders are recommended to deal with the cacophony. A blip of throttle clears the GT70's throat. Time to go.
The clutch pedal is weighty, and take-up is sudden. There is no way of getting the GT70 off the line cleanly without dialling in 4000rpm and dumping the clutch, racing style. Do that, and it takes off like a kicked cat – the rear squats, the wheels dig in, and I'm pushed into my seat most rudely. There's nothing left to do but keep my right foot in and stretch the GT70's legs, as the Heritage boys have egged me on to do.
Snatching second from dog-leg first is delightful – the change is quick and mechanical and feels deliciously immediate.
We're not timing the GT70, but my bum-dynamo would estimate a 0-60mph time in the region of six seconds, although its special stage sprint gearing precludes being able to speak in big numbers for its top speed. But then again, who cares? Dynamics are what counts, and as I pitch the GT70 into the first banked, sweeping arc it reveals a couple more pleasing dynamic traits – astonishingly talkative, direct steering and the utterly stable four-square suspension set-up.
Good news is that, caned this way, the hard-edged Cosworth BDG sounds epic. Anyone who says that 'fours' lack aural drama would be left floundering by the GT70, because it sounds almost musical at high revs – purposeful and loud, but, once singing, never annoying in the way that other four-pots can be.
And it's all rather addictive. I'm circulating the Dunton track increasingly quickly, taking the banks with confidence – I'm leaning on the powerful brakes, banging from gear to gear, and I can feel the tail moving around on the exit of the final curve for the main straight under full throttle. The small crowd that's watching seems to nod its approval as the GT70 flashes by.
Inside it's getting mightily hot, although I'm having so much fun.
I don't actually realise that until I'm waved in so the car can be checked over. Suddenly the temperature and petrol fumes hit me, and I'm again left wondering how physical tackling a hot rally in a GT70 would be.
I'm encouraged back out for some more quick laps by the Heritage boys. I should be reticent, but I'm not. This is one great car to drive, even if it demands no less than 100% all the time and is cramped to the point of discomfort. Ivan's suggested that I try playing on the banking with my hands off the wheel. He says that 47mph is the optimal speed – less and I'll drift down; any more and I'm heading for the Armco.
It should be alien, and yet such is the GT70's innate stability that on my very first go I nail it, and master the art of 47mph hands-free banked cornering. Then I realise it's not my ability as a driver that's gifted me this unlikely skill, but the innate class of the car beneath me. That saddens me a little – not because my ego's taken a dent, but because the GT70 was never given the chance to rule the world…

Yesterday's the "Let Freedom Ring" 50th Anniversary commemoration of the march on Washington and Dr. King's "I Have a Dream Speech" looked like Democratic National Convention for awhile.
"It turned in to a rally for Obamacare, gay marriage, against voter ID laws and gun control," explained Morning Answer host Ben Shapiro. "It was Bizzaroworld. Bill Clinton…really took it to a new level when he suggested that Dr. Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech really what it stood for was the proposition it should be difficult to get assault weapons."
Brian Whitman mentioned that Jimmy Carter got some face time as well at the event along with President Obama. "It was a moment in time, when there were two really horrible presidents on the dias at the same time," commented Morning Answer guest host Victoria Taft.

A Great Place to Start
A Survey of the Process Industry's Favorite First Applications for Wireless Field Networks
INEOS could have established a preventive maintenance routine and cleaned the filters on a time-based schedule. However, this could mean that filters are cleaned when they don't need it, or that filters could block between cleanings. Cleaning and unblocking the filters requires INEOS to stop the blowing and that is not good for the process. Should a blockage take place on a weekend, the maintenance costs are higher. INEOS chose to clean the filters on a predictive basis, before they become blocked and lose too much efficiency. By closely monitoring the filter condition the maintenance team can schedule the cleaning work at a time that will minimize the cost and disruption caused.
INEOS explored the possibility of installing an online system that would closely monitor the condition of the filter and ensure availability. Using differential pressure meters it is possible to monitor the condition of the filters online. However, because of the location of these filters, connecting the required measurement points back to the control system using a wired solution was not feasible.
"The filters are very hard to reach and the high cost of installing cabling to connect the devices prevented us from installing the online condition monitoring points we wanted." explained Frank Mehlkopf, maintenance engineer, INEOS Köln GmbH.
Instead, they turned to wireless. "We found Smart Wireless so easy to use and we are currently testing it at eight filters in our logistic area," said Mehlkopf. "These transmitters don't even need to have line of sight to the gateway....We fully intend to take advantage of this."
Technochem Troubleshoots with Mobile Measurements
"If I see a problem in some part of our process, it is fairly simple for me to take a pressure transmitter and move it elsewhere," says Jan Huijben, incineration manager at Technochem Environmental Complex (TEC) Pty, Ltd., a provider of waste treatment, incineration and distillation services for pharmaceutical and petrochemical companies in Singapore. "I can often determine what's going on in just five minutes, address the issue and quickly return the transmitter to its original application."
Imagine pulling off this nifty troubleshooting trick using the wired tank farm instrumentation the company initially considered when Huijben arrived last year.
Then, an accurate tank level measurement system was needed, along with an automated method of moving that data into a computer database. In addition to using the data for tracking and managing inventories, it was needed to schedule incoming customer delivery and provide customers with order status, including assurance that their chemical wastes had been treated and destroyed.
Today, Emerson Process Management's Smart Wireless field network is automating inventory management and monitoring levels in fourteen tanks at TEC. Among the benefits apparent since April 2008 are the elimination of "clipboard rounds," more accurate real-time data for process efficiency, documentation to verify that specific chemical wastes have been destroyed, and access to the data via the company network. When management personnel are at another site, they can view the process data and order changes if necessary. Electronic connection of select data for customers is being developed.
In an unanticipated bonus, some of the fourteen Rosemount wireless pressure transmitters are moved from place to place to aid in troubleshooting and new process development in TEC's continuous improvement culture. "The flexibility of Emerson's self-organizing wireless technology makes it much easier to troubleshoot problems as well as evaluate new applications," says Huijben. Indeed, TEC is planning further use of Smart Wireless. "At first, we thought this technology was too expensive for us," Huijben adds, "but we now believe we are saving money with it."

Happy Hour: Bartending on a budget
Having a great home bar doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. In fact, as the busy holiday season approaches (if you're a football fan, the parties have already begun), you might actually find yourself saving money by avoiding pricey clubs and making your house the designated hot spot.
In his new book Bartending For Dummies, Ray Foley, the founder and publisher of Bartender Magazine, offers simple steps for stocking a fantastic home bar on a budget.
"All you need is to learn the basics," he says. "Combine a solid basic bar foundation with a good attitude, and anyone can create the ultimate party and become the best bartender in town!"
Foley's tips include:
Keep it simple. Yes, you'll need the basic essentials, but that doesn't mean you have to buy ten brands of every alcohol staple. Foley recommends having at least one 750 ml bottle of gin, whiskey, rum, tequila, and vodka, as well as a bottle each of white wine and red wine, plus twelve 12 oz. beers and three bottles of liqueurs and cordials.
Don't forget mixers. "Just one bottle of each type of mixer will do the trick," says Foley. "Must-have mixers include cola, lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, seltzer and tonic water, and lime, cranberry, orange, pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, and tomato juices."
Finish the job. Delicious garnishes like pineapples and oranges will take your drink from ordinary to awesome. Be sure to also stock lemon and lime wedges, maraschino cherries, olives, and sauces like Tabasco and Worcestershire.
To shake or to stir? Always shake cloudy drinks and stir clear drinks, Foley says. (And when shaking, be sure to point the shaker away from your guests!)
Measure. Overserving will end up costing you more, so always serve shots in shot glasses.
Announce last call. Closing your bar an hour before the end of the party not only gives your guests a chance to sober up, it might inspire some of them to help you clean up.
Have something for everyone. Delicious non-alcoholic drinks like a Virgin Mary or a Shirley Temple are always crowd pleasers. Or if you're feeling more adventurous, follow Foley's recipe for a chocolate colada shake.
For more tips and delicious cocktails, check out Bartending For Dummies.

NORTH KINGSTOWN - On Monday evening, Director of Economic Development Paige Bronk presented a proposal to the town council to conduct a market analysis of the the town. The study, which will cost approximately $75,000, will aim to assess the townŌĆÖs current economic climate and what can be done in the future to expand business.
ŌĆ£The market analysis helps communities achieve their goals fiscally and economically,ŌĆØ said Bronk. ŌĆ£It is quite a significant process, starting from the ground up. It looks at existing businesses, their strengths and deficiencies, and how a community can use its resources to leverage its economic future.ŌĆØ
Bronk further emphasized that, although funding the market analysis seems excessive, the value of a go-to document for the current and future town council, as well as local organizations and businesses, is great.
ŌĆ£Economic development requires a proactive approach and is not dealt with in a passive manner,ŌĆØ said Bronk. ŌĆ£The market drives economic growth and [a market analysis] is the foundation for business success.ŌĆØ
Planning Commission Chair Gardiner Palmer, Jr. also gave his support to a potential market analysis.
ŌĆ£I think there is a clear intersection between planning and economic development, and it would help to inform many of the planning commission decisions we face,ŌĆØ said Palmer. ŌĆ£There are certain constraints the planning commission work under that prohibit economics being involved in every decision, so that information becomes vital.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£[A market analysis] helps to drive the decision-making process,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£Without the information, we are left with gut reactions about how particular Comprehensive Plan and zoning amendments might affect surrounding areas.ŌĆØ

Here's mine.Few random pics, not got any real recent ones.
05 November 2012 - 09:02 PM
Alright mate.Basically removing your upper grill at all can be problematic. But don't let it put you off.The cause of the problem is simply when you remove the key barrel from the existing grill and let the barrel hang down, the weight of it will dislodge the connection of the lock mechanism.So when you've removed the old grill, fitted the new one, put the barrel in the new grill and closed the bonnet you will find it won't open and turning the key does nothing.So to easily avoid the problem in the first place, don't let the barrel hang and balance it on an object to keep it in position.But then even if you have let the barrel hang and you get locked out your bonnet, it's really easily fixed.If you read here:http://www.fordowner...t-lock-problem/I've written a guide explaining the problem in detail and how to fix it easily. I know it's already helped a few members in the same situation. Including Rh1no who owns a zetec s and fitted the ST grill so he'll tell you how easy it was to fix.
03 November 2012 - 12:24 AM

And the frustration continues to mount for Jhonas Enroth.
Only this time, the Buffalo Sabres gave their No. 2 goaltender enough goals. He just didn't make enough saves, or get enough help in the defensive zone.
So he - and the Sabres - lost again, falling 4-3 to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night at the First Niagara Center. ...

Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with markedly elevated IgE: a case report
1 Division of Clinical Immunology & Allergy, Department of Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada
2 Division of Allergy & Immunology, Department of Medicine, Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada
Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology 2009, 5:12 doi:10.1186/1710-1492-5-12Published: 7 December 2009
Markedly elevated IgE as a manifestation of a lymphoproliferative disorder has been only rarely reported.
Case Presentation
We present the case of a 22 year old female referred to the adult Allergy & Clinical Immunology clinic for an extremely elevated IgE level, eventually diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. She had no history of atopy, recurrent infections, eczema or periodontal disease; stool was negative for ova & parasites. Chest X-ray revealed large bilateral anterior mediastinal masses that demonstrated prominent uptake on gallium scan. Mediastinal lymph node biopsy was consistent with Hodgkin's lymphoma, nodular sclerosing subtype, grade I/II.
Although uncommon, markedly elevated IgE may be a manifestation of a malignant process, most notably both Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. This diagnosis should be considered in evaluating an otherwise unexplained elevation of IgE.

Gov. Robert Bentley speaks during the funeral for Yvonne Kennedy on Saturday.
Alabama Rep. Yvonne Kennedy is being remembered as a dedicated educator, activist and leader.
Kennedy died Dec. 8 at age 67. A rousing funeral was held for her Saturday at the Mobile Convention Center.
Al.com reported that U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop said Kennedy "earned an asterisk in each and every one of these roles she played" - leader, activist and educator.
In addition to Bishop, the funeral was attended by Mobile Mayor Sam Jones and Gov. Robert Bentley.
The Medal of Valor was bestowed upon Kennedy at the end of the service.
First elected to the Alabama House of Representatives in 1979, Kennedy was among its longer-serving members.
She was a former chair of the state's Legislative Black Caucus and previously served as president of Bishop State Community College.

I would recommend the rug to anyone, we've already gotten several compliments on it. The pile is high which i like but i still added a rug pad underneath for more of a plush feel....

This rug was delivered in just a few days and looks beautiful in their dining room.....the quality is very good and everyone is happy. THANK YOU, OVERSTOCK!!!!!Read More
love it
I never write reviews, but I had to for this rug because I absolutely love it! I looked at many rugs before buying this one and they were all priced much higher. This carpet is better quality than many of the other rugs at half the price. It is perfect for my living room- huge, beautiful colors, lovely design and very well made. It is thick, soft and has a nice backing on it. I am so happy I read the other reviews and took a risk. It is a wonderful, high quality rug and the price makes it all the more perfect.Read More

Questions & Answers
We've had this rug in a slightly smaller size for years and absolutely love it. We are moving to a house with more hardwood floors and wanted a larger rug to compliment the smaller one.
We need this rug in a 10x14 but I am confused by the coloring in the pictures of the various sizes on Your site. If you look at the pictures on your site the border and even main colors look different in the larger rug as opposed to some of the smaller sizes. Are all of the sizes the same colors or do the colors differ by sizes? If we buy a small rug to check for color will it be the same color as the same rug in the 10x 14 size? Which picture on the site is accurate? Thank you in advance for your response
Hello lovedesign60, we try to represent the colors of our products accurately. Unfortunately, due to the difference in monitor colors we cannot guarantee that the color will match exactly what you see on your screen.

Irish Wolfhounds For Sale
The Irish Wolfhound is one of the largest and is the tallest of dogs in the world. By the age of six months they can weigh as much as ninety pounds and do not reach maturity until twenty to twenty-four months. They have a deep chest, straggly looking fur, and similar in shape to the greyhound. They have a long tail, almost reaching the ground. The Irish Wolfhound has large feet, and a double coat that may be gray, brindle, red, black, white or fawn. Despite their great size, they are very gentle in nature. They are excellent with children, and acknowledge that they are protectors of the family. Known as the gentle giant, they are a perfect gentleman who shows no signs of aggression to their family. Irish Wolfhounds are willing to please their owners and make a good family dog for those who have adequate space and a lifestyle to feed them, as they are rather expensive to look after. Irish Wolfhounds are calm, loving and affectionate. They are very loyal and courageous when called upon to be. Many an Irish tale tells of this breed defending their master and chasing away fiends. The Irish Wolfhound is the perfect dog for the person with enough space in their house and in their heart.

Dave Evans | March 4, 2009 | Comments
Using social spam will leave online marketers lost in space.
For those who remember "Lost in Space," this column will have special meaning. If you've never seen the 1960s' TV series, you can watch it on Hulu. What's the connection between this TV series and social media? The robot that accompanied the characters through their adventures.
The robot -- it never actually had a name -- was endowed with amazingly human characteristics. It would laugh, show some basic emotions, and even poke fun at other characters. In other words, even though it was non-human, it had been created to give the appearance of being human through its actions.
Similar robots are following people on the social Web.
Through the productivity and connectivity tools Web 2.0 has wrought, we're automating a lot of what we do online. Prioritizing incoming messages is commonly handled by filters we set up. Our friends' online activities are sent to us not in words and pictures -- given an average person's 1,000-plus friends, this would take way too long -- but instead as short snips, arriving in a compact RSS feed. Automated agents that help us find "people like yourself" or "things that people like you purchased" make learning, buying, and sharing much easier. We live in an information age: Being able to efficiently process, manage, and extract value from the information around us is now an essential skill.
Yet we are still human, and we still respond to most situations as humans. So even though we've made interacting more efficient, processing a few hundred e-mails, 20 or 30 friend requests or suggestions, and a few dozen tweets each day, we still respond to each other in a decidedly human way. Following a thought-provoking or emotionally rich message, we don't simply "exit loop" and "move next." We are people, not robots. We internalize the message, respond to it, and perhaps even share it further. We think about it.
Social media carries with it the tangible aspect of someone else's desire to share something with you. There is a notion of genuine content. This is precisely why the use of automated responders in social interactions is so annoying to so many.
My bet is that if you're reading this column, you're also using Twitter, Facebook, or some other social tool that allows people with whom you've established a personal connection to send you messages directly. When you acknowledge someone as a friend on Facebook or you choose to follow someone on Twitter, you grant that person the privilege of sending you a message directly. You are welcoming this person to share things that he or she finds interesting with you as an individual. You are opening yourself up to an interaction between two people. Want to quickly make your friends feel cheap and less than human? Start using automated responders to thank them for what they do or share! Remember those postcards you'd buy on vacation where all you had to was check off "having a good time" and "weather is nice" and find a mailbox? While they were kind of funny, can you imagine sending out a card like "I heard you were [checkbox] sick. I hope you [checkbox] get well [checkbox] soon."
In effect, this is what auto responders do: If I choose to connect with someone, it requires an explicit action on my part. I know I'm doing this. It's the same for the person who chooses to connect back with me. Because I see this immediately as a status update or similar notice, I don't need an additional, automated response saying something like, "Hey, Dave, thanks for following me! I look forward to hearing from you!" C'mon. If that message shows up two seconds after I click "accept friendship," how much thought could have been put into it? It's obvious this response is automated and that the sender doesn't value this new connection. It is, simply put, social spam.
This is particularly ironic given that consumers are turning to social media as a way to make smarter choices -- at least in part because of clutter and the relative lack of trust consumers place in advertising. In fact, about 10 percent of all consumers find ads generally trustworthy compared to about 30 percent who trust recommendations from people like themselves. The unchecked use of auto responders undermines this trust, just as questionable claims and pitchmen undermined the credibility of advertising. That is not a good thing for any of us. If we pollute the social Web, we'll have lost possibly the best channel for truly engaging customers that we're ever likely to have.
Predictably, tools to combat social spam are starting to emerge. Frustration over automated responders on Twitter have brought about services such as "Turn This Thing Off" and SocialToo to control or block automated direct messages. There is a related conversation on Twitter that can be followed via the "#endautodm" hash tag.
TweetLater, a popular Twitter client, launched its optmeout service. It allows any recipient to opt out of automated direct messages being sent by anyone using Tweetlater. This is smart on the part of Tweetlater. By adding this feature now, Tweetlater prepares itself for the arrival of a new class of social services that only convey messages from socially compliant software agents. Tweetlater is effectively giving control to all recipients of tweets sent from people using Tweetlater productivity tools. This makes its tools more desirable -- just like in real life, good manners get you invited back. On the social Web, more acceptable software gets you a higher valuation.
We've all got an increased ability to interact, connect, and process information. This is a great for marketers because more information from a more diverse base of knowledge generally leads to better decisions about products and hence higher customer satisfaction. At the same time, if we use the automated capabilities in these new tools to push our messages harder and further while ignoring the social norms and best practices -- think etiquette 2.0 -- we are likely to find ourselves "lost in space." As a marketer and an ex-rocket scientist, I can't think of a lonelier place to be going door to door looking for prospects.

Mclaren has to go!
It is no secret that Kyle Mclaren is on the trading block. However, it seems Mike O'connell is asking too much in return and therefore no team is willing to swap a player in return for the injury plagged defensemen. Here is my humble unbiased opinion on a few deals which the Bruins should explore. Let me know what you think!First of all, even as a Bruins fan I have to admit that a Mclaren for Niinimaa deal would be a complete steal for Boston. Mclaren has never put up the numbers Niinimaa does and it is quite unlikely he ever will. But my question is why does Boston management see the need to acquire a defensemen for Mclaren? O'Donnell, Sweeney, Gill…the three defensive minded veterans…and Boynton, Berard and Girard…three offensively gifted and good skating defensemen. Then why not get a forward to play on the top two lines?
I'll tell you why. If Thornton, Samsonov and Murray are the first line, they lack a winger for the second line…Stumpell plays with Mcinnis and Zamuner…or Lapointe…that is week offensively. But by admitting this, O'connell has to live with the fact that Guerin was his to loose and they let him go without any serious attempts of re-signing him.
So here are a few possible avenues the Bruins could look into.
1- Mclaren to NYI for Isbister
(although Isbister is still a young prospect, he has yet to develop into the offensive threat he was suppose to be…however, by moving Glen Murray to the second unit along side Stumpell, Isbister might break out and produce with Thornton and Sammy.
This deal would also help the Isles who desperately need someone to take ice time away from Aucoin, Hamrlik and Jonsson. The Bruins could maybe also throw in a 3rd round pick just to compensate the fact that Mclaren is still a question mark because of his health.
2- Mclaren, Stumpell and a 2nd rounder to Pittsburgh for Kovalev.
Even if the Bruins get more talent in this deal, it would make sense for both sides. There is no reason Boston could not efford Kovalev since they would have gained money from the loss of Dafoe, Guerin, Mclaren and Stumpell…that is enough to sign Kovalev. He would obviously play alongside Joe and Sergei and if he stays healthy…probably win the scoring title. To compensate for the loss of Stumpy, the B's could move team MVP Brian Rolston to the second unit with Murray and have Mcinnis center the third line. For the penguins, well, their small market budget would surely better accomodate Stumpy and Mclaren than Kovalev. Stumpell would fill their need at center and possibly play with Straka. For Pittsburgh fans, I'm sorry to say but this is a much better deal than what you got for Jagr who is arguably the best player in the league.
There it is folks give me your input…the only other team I can see the B's packaging Mac and Stumpy to would be St-Louis…they need help because of Pronger's injury and are pretty thin at the center position after Doug Weight. Stumpell and Demitra must be pals since their both Slovaks…but what would they have to offer in return? Stillman and a pick…or Stillman and a young D like Salvador? anyway tell me what you think the B"s should be looking for.

Sea Eagles crush Cowboys
The Manly Sea Eagles have defeated the North Queensland Cowboys 22 to 12 at Allianz Stadium.PT0M0S 620 349
Full-time: Manly 22-12. The Sea Eagles advance to the preliminary final against the Storm in Melbourne next week, while the Cowboys bow out. Thanks for joining me tonight.
80 min: Great charge by Tamou. What a match he's had in a losing team.
77 min: Thurston gives the Cowboys a flicker of hope with a one-on-one steal.
75 min: Just over five minutes to go and the Cowboys look gone. Such a shame that another poor video refereeing call has effectively decided this match. You have to feel for the Cowboys.
69 min: Cowboys bomb a try when Brent Tate chooses to run, and is tackled just short of the line, instead of passing to his unmarked winger, Ashley Graham. They may well regret that moment.
68 min: Manly drop-out.
64 min: Lyon converts. Manly 22-12.
63 min: Massive call from the video ref, awarding another benefit-of-the-doubt try, to Oldfield, his second of the night, despite Thurston being pushed in the back and an apparent knock-on by Kieran Foran while contesting a bomb. We'll hear a lot more about that. Manly 20-12.
58 min: Thurston produces a rare error, attacking the Manly line, his cut-out pass bouncing aimlessly into touch.
53 min: Lyon unable to turn four into six.
52 min: Manly back in front after a benefit-of-the-doubt try to Taufua in the left corner, making amends for his error that led to the Cowboys try only minutes earlier. Manly 16-12.
47 min: Surprise, surprise, Thurston converts from near the sideline. It's all locked up at 12-12.
46 min: Wonderful two-man cut-out pass, albeit suspect, from Thurston puts Antonio Winterstein over. Manly 12-10.
44 min: Taufua knocks on inside his own half, giving the Cowboys the first try-scoring chance of the half.
41 min: Manly get the second half under way.
Half-time: Cherry-Evans's field goal attempt just before half-time misses. Manly 12-6.
39 min: Great defence keeps the Cowboys out.
38 min: Line drop-out for Manly, their second in as many minutes.
36 min: Great charge by Cowboys prop Matt Scott. The Cowboys have lifted big-time.
32 min: Johnathan Thurston's conversion cuts Manly's lead to six. Manly 12-6.
30 min: Cowboys hit back with a great individual try to prop James Tamou, who beats two tackles and stretches out in another to score. Manly 12-4.
28 min: No try for the Cowboys but they'll get another set of six after forcing a drop-out.
26 min: Brett Stewart spills a bomb near his line; great opportunity for the Cowboys.
21 min: Lyon adds the extras. Manly 12-0.
20 min: Manly cut the Cowboys apart again with Brett Stewart backing up a break from winger Jorge Taufua to score their second try. Manly 10-0.
18 min: Cowboys penalised inside their 20m, Lyon extends Manly's lead with a penalty goal. Manly 6-0.
16 min: Cowboys drop-out.
12 min: Roosters-bound winger Oldfield flies down the right-hand touch line, outpacing Kane Linnett, but his pass to Cherry-Evans, with the try line beckoning, misses the mark.
11 min: Manly repel a Cowboys attacking raid on their line. Very impressive start by the Sea Eagles.
9 min: Let-off for North Queensland as Jason King fumbles a pass. Cowboys back in possession.
8 min: More pressure on the Cowboys as Matt Bowen knocks on a bomb. Manly scrum feed.

Greg Prichard writes: The Sea Eagles are still slight favourites, but there has been a lot of money for the Cowboys to win. Sea Eagles captain Jamie Lyon remains in doubt with a calf injury, and there is a big question mark over how effective he will be if he does manage to play. We shouldn't forget that the Sea Eagles are premiers, though, and that other key players can reliably be expected to lift in reaction to the team's problems. The Cowboys are right in this game, but so are the Sea Eagles.
AAP writes: In round 22 these sides played out one of the toughest matches of the year, won 8-6 by Manly in Townsville. After 80 minutes the game finished one try apiece and given the adversity they've suffered from last week's loss to Canterbury, the Sea Eagles should take heart from this gritty performance last month. Manly will be without New Zealand international Steve Matai, and his centre partner Jamie Lyon is also in doubt with a calf injury. However, it was only a week ago that the Sea Eagles were premiership favourites and if they can aim up with their typical finals style of play, the Cowboys will have to play plenty of football to beat them. The dynamic duo of Johnathan Thurston and Matt Bowen have had it on a string in recent weeks and the North Queenslanders are in red-hot form. This should be an awesome battle up front with two of the game's biggest and most ferocious packs going head-to-head.
Key: Can Manly skipper Lyon get himself on the park? The veteran centre is one of the best players in the game and whether or not the Sea Eagles have him working his magic on the right edge could be the difference between victory and defeat for the defending premiers.
