text: Company That Ruined Water for 300K People Fined $11K Judge surprised few claims filed against W. Va. firm By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Jul 9, 2014 2:26 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (17) (Newser) – A West Virginia company that leaked a chemical into the Elk River at the start of this year has been punished with an $11,000 fine—which amounts to about 27 cents for each of the 300,000 people left without water for days. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration fined Freedom Industries $7,000 for not having a liquid tight wall around tanks containing the coal-cleaning chemical Crude MCHM, and another $4,000 for failing to have the proper railings on an elevated platform at the site, reports the Charleston Gazette. Despite the large number of people affected when 10,000 gallons of the chemical seeped through the containment wall, only 78 claims have been filed against the company, a number that surprised a federal bankruptcy judge, the Charleston Daily Mail reports. "It's amazing that there have not been an overwhelming number of spill claims," he said at a hearing yesterday. "I don't know whether that's because they don't think there's enough money to pay claims or there's not significant damage." The company listed around $10 million in assets and $10 million in liabilities when it filed for bankruptcy soon after the spill.

CS First Boston cut estimates and targets for Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM) and Analog Devices (ADI).
Analyst Michael Masdea says he is cautious on analog stocks due to secular concerns over the current cycle, macro risks, and relative and absolute valuations. He sees implications of National Semi's (NSM) pre-announcement as: Manufacturers are taking a wait-and-see approach to seasonal build, suggesting potential weakness in the second half; growth opportunities for semis are being arbitraged, resulting in risk of compressed product and margin cycles.
He cut EPS estimates for Maxim from $1.07 fiscal year 2003 (June) to $0.89. He cut estimates for ADI from $0.58 fiscal year 2002 (Oct.) to $0.51, and from $1.07 fiscal year 2003 to $0.63. He lowered $60 MXIM target to $50; $52 ADI target was slashed to $25.. He rates MXIM and ADI as buy.

Minister Baird Welcomes Arrest of General Ratko Mladic
(No. 143 - May 26, 2011 - 1:25 p.m. ET) John Baird, Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister, issued the following statement on the arrest of General Ratko Mladic by Serbian security forces this morning near the city of Zrenjanin in northern Serbia:
"We congratulate the Government of Serbia on this arrest. Ratko Mladic stands accused of horrific crimes. Canada is pleased that he will now face international justice. We call upon all involved to ensure that arrangements for his transfer to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for trial will be made at the earliest opportunity. We hope this will help to bring comfort to those who suffered so much during the terrible wars of the 1990s in the Western Balkans. This arrest promotes respect for international law and demonstrates Serbia's acceptance of its international responsibilities."
General Mladic had been a fugitive from the ICTY, and is under ICTY indictment for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed while he was in command of the Bosnian Serb army during the Bosnian wars of 1992-95.
The wars in the Balkans in the 1990s were a major engagement for Canada. Over the years, more than 40,000 Canadian troops served in the Western Balkans, to support Canada's commitment to human rights, democracy and stability in the region. Minister Baird hailed General Mladic's arrest as an important contribution to those enduring goals.

Earlier this fall an 80 acre tract of land in Northwest Iowa sold for over $20,000 an acre and similar parcels in that county have also been sold for some of the highest prices for cropland ever in the Midwest. Last week in Kansas City, a long time farm manager and investor, Murray Wise of Murray Wise Associates in Clarion, Iowa told farm broadcasters prices like that may seem high but they pencil out for the farmer buyers of those pieces of land.
Wise, who has been involved in land dealings for most of his life, said prices will remain high as long as the current economic conditions for agriculture continue. He told us two of the main things that would turn around current land price trends would be "falling commodity prices and higher interest rates and I don't see either of those two things happening any time soon." The volatility in the land price market is encouraging prices to go higher. He also added that land is one of the best, low risk investments available in today's economic climate. His formula for evaluating the risk of land ownership is based on the rate of inflation. He said, "With today's inflation rate of 2%, you can look for land to appreciate at 4% giving you a 6% return on your low risk investment." If you figure inflation at 3% and land prices go up twice the rate of inflation, land owners can expect a 9% return on their investment. Wise calls current farm land ownership an attractive option for an investor's money for a low risk asset.
When asked about comparisons to high land prices in the late '70s and early '80s, Wise said there really is no comparison because of the difference in interest rates. He explained that "In the '80s the average farmer carried $22 worth of debt for every $100 in assets, but today a farmer has only $9 worth of debt for every $100 in assets." He also added that many times farmers making high dollar land purchases aren't going to the bank for financing as they have enough cash reserves to do the deal. Wise, who has varied business interests, added that "We'd be hard pressed to name any other industry in the United States that is as conservatively leveraged as farming is today as far as land prices."
In Iowa, where the highest crop land prices continue to be paid in the Corn belt, "75% of farms have no note or mortgage associated with their farm land" Weiss told us.
Another major factor keeping land prices high is the lack of land coming up for sale. Wise said it goes back to interest rates and commodity prices. Most of the land is owned by older farmers and Wise said, "They're not gonna sell it and put it in the stock market or buy low interest government bonds or put it in a CD for a quarter percent interest." He also pointed out that some of those half sections in the Corn belt can bring as much as three million dollars, "And if you want FDIC insurance you'd have to go to about 12 different banks to get it all insured and I sure wouldn't do that and they won't either."
For more land to come on the market, interest rates would have to go up significantly and that doesn't appear imminent. Older farmers are also staying on the land longer as Wise pointed out. He said they no longer are moving to town to live in a small house and tend a garden. "With today's machinery having air conditioned cabs, GPS, auto steer and other new technologies, farmers are finding it easier to stay on their land and continue to farm—they're enjoying their lifestyle" Wise told us.
The lack of land availability is evident in five of the top farming counties in Illinois. Wise's company has found that in those counties, less than three tenths of one percent of farm land has changed hands in the past few years. For those five counties, the highest rate of change has been only one percent.
Another reason farmers are hanging on to their land is the ever increasing price they're getting from land rent and leases. That trend, tied mainly to commodity prices, is only going up and farmers still have some control of their assets.
Wise added, though, that the farm land price situation isn't immune from our country's overall financial crisis but he said, "I own a lot of land personally and it's the asset I feel most comfortable with relative to some of the financial challenges we might see in the United States in the coming months and years."

I find that I am a very visual person, I like colorful food...so when making meal plan to avoid the temptation of going out I make a visual meal plan calendar and then it is like punishment if I miss out on something that looks to good to give up.sort of the you don't know what your missing until it is gone approach...well I see it and I know I will miss it
1 cup pineapple (or blueberries or strawberries)1 banana1 1/2 cups fresh spinach2 tbsp. flax seed2 cups waterBlend all ingredients and ENJOY!
For most veggies I buy frozen because I like how they taste better then canned, however when it comes to green beans to me frozen tastes funky. So, I recently switched myself and family to no salt added canned veggies. I did so by first doing half and half, one can of regular and one of no salt added. I continued this for a couple of weeks and now I only buy no salt added and no one in my family has even commented that they noticed a difference.
What has been helping me with losing weight is to be able to visualise how much I've lost (and need to go)... To do this I visualise it in terms of cans of coke (or any canned drink)...Most are 330ml which equates to 330g (in the UK anyway), so it's 3 cans per kg - or if you're using lbs, it's 1lb = 1 and a third cans cans...So when you 'only' lose just under 1lb in a week, it's quite a lot, when you actually pick up a can. 2lb is 2.5 cans, etc, etc.Happy canning!

I like the convenience the Colgate Wisps offer, but compared to a soft bristled toothbrush the bristles seem so rigid that I worry they could do damage to my enamel or gums. Is this something to be concerned about, or are they perfectly fine to use regularly?
Is It Ok to Brush my Teeth with Wisps, or Could the Rigid Bristles Damage my Gums or Enamel?
Doctor Answers 2
Brushing and tooth damage
All over vigorous brushing no matter what is used can do damage. It would take repeated times to hurt yourself. It is important to remove food debris and stimulate your gums to keep them healthy. Keeping plaque from forming is very important. Using anything from you finger, washcloth, or Wisps can be very good. Most importantly is to see your Dr often and make sure whatever you use is being used to help you not hurt yourself.

Mushrooms are basically fungi, which have a fleshy and spore bearing fruiting body. Mushroom describes a variety of gilled fungi, with or without stems, and the term is used even more generally, to describe both the fleshy fruiting bodies of some ascomycota and the woody or leathery fruiting bodies of some basidiomycota, depending upon the context of the word.
They have been in use not only for consumption purposes, but also for medicinal purposes, since ages. There are over 14,000 types of mushrooms in the world, out of which 3,000 are edible, about 700 have known medicinal properties and around 1400 have been recognized as poisonous.
At present 3 mushrooms are being cultivated in India. These are : the white mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), the paddy-straw mushroom (Volvariella vovvacea) and the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju). Of these, A. bisporus is the most popular and economically sound to grow and is extensively cultivated throughout the world.
Today, mushrooms are eaten by people, for their flavor, texture as well as for the health benefits they accord.
Mushroom nutrition
Mushrooms contain about 80 to 90 percent water, and are very low in calories (only 100 cal/oz). They have very little sodium and fat, and 8 to 10 percent of the dry weight is fiber. Hence, they are an ideal food for persons following a weight management program or a diet for hypertensive.
Mushrooms are an excellent source of potassium. Infact, it is said that there is more potassium in a mushroom than a banana.
Mushrooms help fight against cancer. They are an excellent source of selenium, an antioxidant that works with vitamin E to protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.
Mushrooms are rich in copper, a mineral that has cardio-protective properties. A single serving of mushrooms is said to provide about 20 to 40 % of the daily needs of copper.
Researches have suggested that white button mushrooms can reduce the risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer. Infact, extract of white button mushrooms has been found to help in diminishing cell proliferation as well as tumor size.
Shiitake mushrooms comprise of Lentinan, a beta-glucan that has been associated with stimulation of the immune system and thus, is believed to be helpful in fighting against AIDS. It also helps fight infection and exhibits anti-tumor activity.
Being rich in fiber, protein and Vitamin B, mushrooms help maintain a healthy metabolism.
It has been found that mushroom extract helps stop migraine headaches and is beneficial for people suffering from mental illnesses, like obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Oyster mushrooms are said to be useful in strengthening of veins and relaxation of the tendons

Health tips for mushroom
As you have read the benefits and nutritious fact about mushroom, you sure should add mushrooms in your diet but be careful Mushrooms can even kill! Most of the mushrooms are not edible, are highly poisonous and look strikingly similar to their edible counterparts. Even certain edible mushrooms can go poisonous depending upon the substance they grow on. Don't ever try picking them up from woods unless you identify them very well. Do not trust on the unknown vendors too. Always trust sealed products from reputed companies or those which you grow yourself under controlled conditions after buying their seeds (called spawns) from trusted source. Because a single poisonous mushroom among others can send a whole lot of people to coma, induce severe poisoning symptoms, nausea, vomiting, convulsions, cramps, insanity or worst, can kill them.

IBM Reworks Its BPM Strategy and Products
Analyst(s): Janelle B. Hill | Michele Cantara
Free preview of Gartner research
IBM's radical overhaul of its portfolio of business process management products, methodologies, services and industry solutions will clear up confusion among its customers and enable IBM to broaden its BPM market opportunity.
Table of Contents
News Analysis
On 10-15 April 2011, IBM made several announcements related to business process management (BPM):
It announced Business Process Manager v.7.5, based on the WebSphere Lombardi BPMS Edition. The product will become generally available in June 2011, in three editions — Express, Standard and Advanced — using the same licensing model that was previously in effect.
It has introduced a new dedicated BPM Services practice made up of consultants from the Global Business Solutions and Software Group.
It has introduced a new BPM methodology, IBM Method for Business Process Optimization, that IBM, its clients and its partners will use on BPM projects.
It will offer three new industry packs based on IBM Business Process Manager v.7.5: Banking, healthcare and telecommunications.
IBM has realigned its vast resources behind an updated strategic vision for BPM, which emphasizes that the goal of BPM is to optimize business results. IBM's updated BPM vision and portfolio will better meet the needs of business stakeholders interested in BPM as an approach for growing and transforming their businesses. Phil Gilbert, former president of Lombardi Software, is now responsible for IBM's BPM business and will provide business direction to IBM's BPM sales, marketing, development and services teams.
The new BPM portfolio advances the simplicity and "build to change" strengths of Lombardi's products and methodologies to make operations more visible and more agile to enable business transformation. In addition, the new BPM product incorporates the integration and service orchestration capabilities from WebSphere Process Server. This strategy also broadens the market opportunity for IBM's professional services and process solutions.
IBM's new BPM strategy includes:
Reducing it from three BPMS products — WebSphere Dynamic Process Edition (WDPE), FileNet Business Process Manager and WebSphere Lombardi Edition — into a single product, Business Process Manager v.7.5.
Repackaging, rebranding and updating many of its other BPM-enabling technologies, such as WebSphere ILOG JRules, IBM Blueworks Live, IBM Business Monitor and WebSphere Business Events into a more unified and integrated BPM portfolio.
Establishing a dedicated BPM practice consisting of consultants from the IBM Global Business Solutions and Software Group, reporting into the IBM BPM group.
By deeming Business Process Manager v.7.5 its strategic BPM product, IBM is clearing up confusion among its customers and prospects regarding the positioning of its various BPM-enabling products and services. The product itself is essentially an update to WebSphere Lombardi Edition 7.2. IBM has added functions (such as integration features, new mobile functions and enhanced business rule editing) through linkages to ILOG JRules and WebSphere Process Server. Customers making the transition from WebSphere BPM technologies to Business Process Manager v.7.5 will receive significant benefits, including:
Improved process visibility (both in design and runtime modes).
Easier and governed process change.
Better collaboration between business and IT roles involved in all phases of the BPM project.
A built-in BPM iterative methodology supporting the entire process improvement cycle.
IBM customers:
If you use Lombardi Teamworks, WebSphere Lombardi Edition, WebSphere Integration Developer or WebSphere Process Server, plan to migrate to IBM Business Process Manager v.7.5 to meet your BPM needs. Request an "entitlements" conversation with IBM to map out your license conversion to address your BPM and service-oriented architecture needs. IBM has stated that current WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Lombardi Edition customers will be able to move their process assets directly to IBM Business Process Manager v.7.5
If you are using WebSphere products to meet your service orchestration needs, continue to use your current product set.
If you use FileNet Business Process Manager, plan for continued support; however, IBM has stated that it will no longer market FileNet as a BPM solution. For any new BPM projects, depending on your project requirements, consider implementing IBM Case Manager, built on FileNet P8.
Prospective IBM customers:
Evaluate IBM Business Process Manager as IBM's strategic BPMS offering, rather than FileNet Business Process Manager or WebSphere Process Server and related WebSphere products.
If you are looking for an IBM solution for case management needs (a challenging BPM use case), consider IBM Case Manager, a set of tools and run-time additions built on the FileNet P8 architecture.

This game is my favourite racer of all time.
The courses have to be seen to be believed, graphics are trippy and as smooth as silk, and the speed attainable in game makes me honestly fear that my tv is going to get damaged !
The gameplay is fanstastic: I especially like the fact that double pressing L or R (to barge) can also be used as way to help navigate extreme corners.
In total, this is a work of genius - thanks Nintendo.
This game is my favourite racer of all time.

Choosing a good gaming monitor is not an easy task with the wide range of available choices you currently have today. Plus, it would be even more difficult if you're a complete beginner at this. Complex terms such as the viewing angles, response rates, dynamic contrast ratio, LED backlighting and more will spin the minds of those who're less acquainted with these technological references. Nonetheless, if you really want to determine which is the best gaming monitor for your needs, you merely need to look at a few top aspects before you make your final decision.
Perfume Extraction Of The Rose Essence
The appealing, immaculate fragrance of the rose is a mystifying thing which has been widely used in the perfume industry. It is particularly mystifying as no two noses will smell the scent of a rose the same way. Some smell it as sweet, flowery, pungent, slightly refreshing…while others may be affected by how the rose actually looks, interpreting the scent as soft, dewy, thorny, sharp, pretty and list goes on.
Optimizing Your Sleeping Habits For Better Health
Getting enough time to sleep properly can be challenging in this fast paced world. Even though the need is different from person to person, it is generally good to get 7 hours of sleep per day. Not everyone is mindful that the absence of sleep can impact our lives. As an illustration, you will see that you're not able to focus on something for as long as you typically can. This is certainly harmful since the lack of focus can easily cause mishaps especially whenever you are driving on the highway. The absence of sleep at night will never allow your body to heal itself.
A Detailed Mattress Buying Guide
Although it may sound cliché that you should get a mattress that feels most comfortable for you, experts have actually compounded this into a fact. If a mattress feels weird in any way at all, it is best that you stay away from it. Our body types and sensitivity vary significantly from person to person. This means that a mattress that might feel heavenly to one person might feel like a rock to another. As such, finding a perfect mattress can often feel like a chore. The results however are well worth it.
Custom-built Chicken Coops: How Do They Do It?
You can build chicken coops through a variety of methods and all of them can have varying measurements. You should consider the key goal of this undertaking of yours before you go on and acquire or build a coop. Maybe you're simply accomplishing this for entertainment or maybe you wish to create a small business from it. It is actually feasible for you to develop a coop all by yourself. A lot of people try this. The building of new and bigger coops is attainable as well as soon as you're comfortable with the method. These chicken coops can also be bought from several locations so you don't necessarily need to build them. A great deal of coops are available anywhere by any means and you may frequently get pretty decent bargains if you look diligently enough.
3 Things To Look Out For When Buying A Record Player
Though it isn't essential for someone to know each and every specific detail regarding a record player's designs or technical attributes, it'll aid considerably if they have a little knowledge in terms of the key elements. Understanding how a turntable operates is the starting point right here. To put it simply, the stylus, the needle fastened to the end of the tonearm, is positioned on the spinning vinyl to generate audio. Every single groove on the record is going to be minuscule in thickness and therefore, the needle really needs to be delicately placed on top of the vinyl and the positioning of the tonearm should be correct in order to avoid damaging it.
Awesome Coop Designs That Will Inspire You
Chickens are frequently kept by people for several reasons. For instance, obtaining the chicken eggs and selling them away could work as a secondary cash flow. By raising their very own chickens, some people assume that their meals can be made as organic as is possible without being subjected to the man-made chemicals that commercial merchandise will have. Getting a single nesting container for every single chicken which you have is ideal for egg generation. For instance, some of these awesome coop plans are particularly suitable for protection against predators. Chicken predators are normally found in the outlying locations but that doesn't signify that urban areas are free of them.
Do Pest Baits Really Work As Advertised?
There are lots of techniques to get rid of a bug infestation, no matter if using homemade remedies or commercial products. To eradicate them efficiently, you should first know what sort of pests you are coping with. An illustration of a highly prevalent bug in the US would be the ant. Killing ants with poison is definitely the simplest way of wrecking entire colonies because the ants will infect each other till all are dead. Eradicating the entire nest is going to be important if you wish to stop an ant infestation. An additional very similar pest that poses a massive nuisance would be termites.

This page gives a brief description of some current alternative vehicle options. To learn more about each type of vehicle click on its title and you will be linked to the Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
A Hybrid Electric Vehicle is powered by both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The engine is fueled by gasoline or diesel and electricity is generated by regenerative braking and stored in a battery. The battery supplies the electric motor with the electricity necessary to supplement the internal combustion engine. This approach results in increased fuel efficiency.
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
A Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle is powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The vehicle utilizes conventional gasoline as well as electrical energy stored in a battery. A PHEV differs from an HEV in that it can gain electrical energy by plugging into the grid. A PHEV can drive some distance on pure electricity.
FAQ: If I drive an electric vehicle will I just be transferring my pollution from petroleum to coal?
No, commercial electricity production combined with an electric motor uses energy far more efficiently than an internal combustion engine. Electric motors convert 75% of the chemical energy from the batteries to power the wheels – internal combustion engines only convert 14%-26% of the energy stored in gasoline (1). The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies or used to power accessories (2). Depending on your electrical grid mix, because of the varying efficiencies and emissions of electricity production, an electric vehicle can reduce between greenhouse gas emissions 19-58% (3) (4).
Flexible Fuel Vehicles
Flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) are capable of operating on gasoline, E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline), or a mixture of both. Designated Flexible Fuel Vehicles have ethanol compatible components and are set to accommodate the higher oxygen content of E85. E85 should only be used in ethanol-capable FFVs.
Natural Gas Vehicles
Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) are either fueled exclusively with CNG or LNG (dedicated NGVs) or are capable of natural gas and gasoline fueling (bi-fuel NGVs). In general, dedicated NGVs demonstrate better performance and have lower emissions than bi-fuel vehicles because their engines are optimized to run on natural gas. In addition, the vehicle does not have to carry two types of fuel, thereby increasing cargo capacity and reducing weight.
Diesel Vehicles
Advanced diesel vehicles fueled by ultra-low sulfur diesel are among the most fuel-efficient vehicles available today. These clean-burning new vehicles have put their dirty, smoky reputation behind them. The vast majority of them can also use blends of biodiesel, B20 or sometimes higher, with no modification, making them the easiest type of vehicle to run on alternative fuels.
Propane Vehicles
Today, most propane vehicles are conversions from gasoline vehicles. Dedicated propane vehicles are designed to run only on propane; bi-fuel propane vehicles have two separate fueling systems that enable the vehicle to use either propane or gasoline. Propane vehicle power, acceleration, and cruising speed are similar to those of gasoline-powered vehicles. Lower maintenance costs are a prime reason behind propane's popularity for use in delivery trucks, taxis, and buses. Propane's high octane rating (104 to 112 compared with 87 to 92 for gasoline) and low carbon and oil contamination characteristics have resulted in documented engine life of up to two times that of gasoline engines.
A converted vehicle or engine is one modified to use a different fuel or power source than the one for which it was originally designed. In an alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) conversion, a conventional vehicle from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is altered to run on an alternative fuel like propane or natural gas. A number of suppliers around the country are approved by the EPA to fit alternative fuel conversions.

279 Thule is a very big Main belt asteroid. It is classified as a D-type asteroid and is probably made of organic rich silicates, carbon and anhydrous silicates.
The orbit of Thule is unusual. It appears to orbit in the farthest edge of the Main belt in a 3:4 orbital resonance with planet Jupiter. Unlike the Hilda asteroids whose eccentricity is fairly common of main belt asteroids, Thule has a very low eccentricity - actually much lower than that of Jupiter itself and only a bit higher than that of Earth. Why it has this orbit is not clear, as is the reason for the absence of smaller bodies in similar 4:3 resonances with Jupiter.
Some astronomers have argued that Thule's present orbit is the natural result of the force of Jupiter on a body orbiting at exactly the distance from the Sun Thule does, in the same way (though with the reverse effect) as the Kirkwood gaps in the more closer parts of the asteroid belt. It could thus be that the resonance which holds Thule in a very low-eccentricity orbit serves to eject other smaller bodies whose distance from the Sun is only a bit different from that of Thule itself.
It is the main member of the Thule dynamical group.
It was found by Johann Palisa on October 25, 1888 in Vienna and was named aptly after the ultimate northern land of Thule.

ROCK DOC: Saving labor (and lives) in the orchard
SAN ANGELO, Texas - When I was younger, I used to enjoy picking a pint or two of huckleberries in the mountains in the summer. But even when you work hard, huckleberry picking doesn't yield a lot of fruit per day. Picking raspberries goes faster because the fruit is larger and the berries grow more thickly on the plant. And picking apples is faster still, with output measured in bushels rather than pints.
Still, it's one thing to pick a bag of apples from an old tree by the side of a gravel road. It's quite another to spend all day in an orchard trying to earn a living climbing ladders and harvesting box after box of fruit.
All agricultural work is both demanding and dangerous, and working in orchards is one of the most difficult tasks in modern agriculture. Indeed, it's such hard work that a lot of Americans simply can't or won't do it, which leads to labor shortages and immigration issues we continue to fail to come to terms with.
It's interesting to note we'd never considering harvesting grain fields by hand. I live in a small town surrounded by fields of wheat. At the end of the summer, large and complex machines reap the grain in the field, then thresh it, and finally winnow it. The three-step process is automatic, done on-the-fly as the combine harvester rumbles across the wheat field.
Why not use machines to harvest fruit in an orchard? We could free people from the backbreaking tedium of picking fruit by hand, training them instead to operate the machines that could do the heavy labor both more quickly and more safely. Lower-priced produce could then benefit all of us.
The good news is that agricultural engineers across the nation are making real progress toward exactly that goal. In the process, they've found it useful to change trees themselves. Here's the story.
Machines operate most easily in unchanging conditions. Lawn mowers work because grass in a lawn makes up a pretty uniform surface. Mowers can't cope with truly major bumps or depressions.
One challenge for creating machines that could help us harvest fruit in an orchard is that traditionally fruit trees have all been quite different. They are "bumpy," you might say, with this particular tree pruned years ago in one way, while that tree over there has a different shape due to different growth and pruning.
So the first step in moving toward the mechanization of orchards has been creating trees that are much more similar to one another. Along the way it's also been useful to make the trees shorter. After all, there's no need to have a 22-foot tall apple tree, with its fruit way up off the ground, when a much shorter tree will do.
Another step forward hinged on what I think is a truly clever idea. Instead of letting the trees grow in their usual, three-dimensional structure, the ag engineers had them pruned to keep them growing upward in just two-dimensions. You could say these trees make thin apple "hedges" in an orchard.
With that innovation, the next step is to design mechanical pickers that can move along the thin rows of short trees, reaching out and picking the fruit.
One idea is to use camera sensors to determine where a piece of fruit is, and then power a robotic-arm that can pick it individually. Before you think that's too fanciful to be true, remember your car was welded together by robotic arms.
Dr. Qin Zhang of Washington State University works on agricultural automation issues including the goal of mechanically harvesting fruit trees.
"People all over the word are putting great effort into developing mechanical fruit harvesters. I will not be surprised if we see mechanically harvested apples in the stores in 10 years," he said to me recently.
Although mechanizing agriculture always entails periods of economic adjustment for all concerned, I've got to wish Dr. Zhang the best. The equivalent of a combine harvester for fruit would be a labor-saving device that could help a lot of people in several ways, both in the field and in the grocery store.

"1939 World's Fair" redirects here. The term can also refer to the Golden Gate International Exposition, which was held in San Francisco/Oakland at the same time as the New York fair.
The 1939–40 New York World's Fair, which covered the 1216acres of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (also the location of the 1964–1965 New York World's Fair), was the second largest American world's fair of all time, exceeded only by St. Louis's Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. Many countries around the world participated in it, and over 44 million people attended its exhibits in two seasons. The NYWF of 1939–1940 was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look at "the world of tomorrow". According to the official New York World's Fair pamphlet,
"The eyes of the Fair are on the future — not in the sense of peering toward the unknown nor attempting to foretell the events of tomorrow and the shape of things to come, but in the sense of presenting a new and clearer view of today in preparation for tomorrow; a view of the forces and ideas that prevail as well as the machines.
To its visitors the Fair will say: "Here are the materials, ideas, and forces at work in our world. These are the tools with which the World of Tomorrow must be made. They are all interesting and much effort has been expended to lay them before you in an interesting way. Familiarity with today is the best preparation for the future.'"
In 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, a group of New York City retired policemen decided to create an international exposition to lift the city and the country out of depression. Not long after, these men formed the New York World's Fair Corporation, whose office was placed on one of the higher floors in the Empire State Building. The NYWFC elected former chief of police Grover Whalen as the president of their committee. The committee included Winthrop Aldrich, Mortimer Buckner, Floyd Carlisle, Ashley T. Cole, John J. Dunnigan, Harvey Dow Gibson, Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, Percy S. Straus, and many other business leaders.
Over the next four years, the committee planned, built, and organized the fair and its exhibits, with countries around the world taking part in creating the biggest international event since World War I. Working closely with the Fair's committee was Robert Moses, New York City Parks Commissioner, who saw great value to the City in having the World's Fair Corporation (at its expense) remove a vast ash dump in Queens that was to be the site for the exposition, and turn the area into a City park after the exposition closed.
Edward Bernays directed public relations of the fair in 1939, which he called 'democricity'.[1] Grover Whalen, a public relations innovator, saw the Fair as an opportunity for corporations to present consumer products, rather than as an exercise in presenting science and the scientific way of thinking in its own right, as Harold Urey, Albert Einstein and other scientists wished to see the project.[2] "As events transpired," reported Carl Sagan,[3] whose own interest in science was nevertheless sparked by the Fair's gadgetry, "almost no real science was tacked on to the Fair's exhibits, despite the scientists' protests and their appeals to high principles."
Promotion of this great event took many forms. In 1938, the Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Giants, and New York Yankees baseball teams did their part to promote the upcoming fair by wearing patches on their jerseys featuring the Trylon, Perisphere, and "1939" on their left sleeve. Howard Hughes flew a special World's Fair flight around the world to promote the fair in 1938.
While the main purpose of the fair was to lift the spirits of the United States and drive much-needed business to New York City, it was also felt that there should be a cultural or historical association. It was therefore decided that the fair opening would correspond to the 150th anniversary of George Washington's first inauguration as President of the United States, and the WPA painted murals which appeared in the New York Times Magazine.[4]
On April 30, 1939, a very hot Sunday, the fair had its grand opening, with 206,000 people in attendance. The April 30 date coincided with the 150th anniversary of George Washington's inauguration as President in New York City. Although many of the pavilions and other facilities were not quite ready for this opening, it was put on with pomp and great celebration. President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave the opening day address, and as a reflection of the wide range of technological innovation on parade at the fair, his speech was not only broadcast over the various radio networks but also was televised. NBC used the event to inaugurate regularly scheduled television broadcasts in New York City over their station W2XBS (now WNBC). An estimated 1,000 people viewed the Roosevelt telecast from about 200 television sets scattered throughout the New York area. In addition to Roosevelt's speech, Albert Einstein gave a speech which discussed cosmic rays. This was followed by the ceremonial lighting of the fair's lights. Dignitaries received a special Opening Day Program which contained their names written in Braille.
One of the first exhibits to receive attention was the Westinghouse Time Capsule, which was not to be opened for 5,000 years, not until 6939 AD. The time capsule was a tube containing writings by Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann, copies of Life Magazine, a Mickey Mouse watch, a Gillette Safety Razor, a kewpie doll, a dollar in change, a pack of Camel cigarettes, millions of pages of text on microfilm, and much more. The capsule also contained seeds of foods in common use at the time: (wheat, corn, oats, tobacco, cotton, flax, rice, soy beans, alfalfa, sugar beets, carrots and barley, all sealed in glass tubes). The time capsule is located at, at a depth of 50feet. A small stone plaque marks the position.[5]
Other exhibits included Vermeer's painting The Milkmaid from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam,[6]

NICHCY's Structured Abstract 78 describes the following:
Title | Making the Most of Summer School: A Meta-Analytic and Narrative Review
Authors | Cooper, H., Charlton, K., Valentine, J.C., & Muhlenbruck, L.
Source | Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 65(1), 1-118.
Year Published | 2000
Summer schools serve multiple purposes for students, families, educators, and communities. The current need for summer programs is driven by changes in American families and by calls for an educational system that is competitive globally and embodies higher academic standards.
This research synthesis used both meta-analytic and narrative procedures to integrate the results of 93 evaluations of summer school. Results revealed that summer programs focusing on remedial or accelerated learning or other goals have a positive impact on the knowledge and skills of participants. Although all students benefit from summer school, students from middle-class homes show larger positive effects than students from disadvantaged homes. Remedial programs have larger effects when the program is relatively small and when instruction is individualized. Remedial programs may have more positive effects on math than on reading. Requiring parent involvement also appears related to more effective programs.
Students at all grade levels benefit from remedial summer school, but students in the earliest grades and in secondary school may benefit most. These and other findings are examined for their implications for future research, public policy, and the implementation of summer programs. Based on these results, recommendations to policy makers are that summer programs:
- contain substantial components aimed at teaching math and reading, and
- include rigorous evaluations, but also
- permit local control of curricula and delivery systems.
Funds should be set aside to foster participation in summer programs, especially among disadvantaged youth. Program implementers should (a) begin summer program planning earlier in the year, (b) strive for continuity of staffing and programs across years, (c) use summer school in conjunction with summer staff development opportunities, and (d) begin integrating summer school experiences with those that occur during the regular school year. (Abstract by Author/JSTOR, amended.)
When the typical 9-month school calendar with 3 months of summer vacation was established as the norm over 100 years ago, it was designed with the children of farmers, who needed to be home to help their parents harvest crops in the summer, in mind. Even though very few children work on farms today, the school calendar in most places in the United States still includes a 2-3 month vacation during the summer months. Many schools, school districts, colleges, and universities offer summer school programs during these months to serve a variety of purposes, including:
- helping students maintain the skills they learned during the school year
- remediating academic areas in which a student has failed or fallen behind
- providing extended school year activities for students with disabilities
- allowing specialized opportunities for students identified as having particular gifts or talents
- preventing delinquent behavior
- increasing positive attitudes towards school and self
This synthesis examines the overall effectiveness of summer school programs and whether summer school is particularly effective for certain groups of students or when used to accomplish specific goals.
Research Questions
- What is the effect of summer school on attendees?
- Are summer school programs effective at preventing delinquent behavior, improving academic performance, or school attendance?
Research Design
Meta-analysis and narrative procedures
- Number of Studies Included | 93
- Number of Subjects | The number of subjects ranged from 22 in the smallest study to 16,261 in the largest.
- Years Spanned | 1966-1998
Research Subjects
All the studies in this meta-analysis examined children attending summer school programs in the United States between the 1960s and late 1990s. The children were mainly from low and middle SES groups. Many of the students were in summer school for remed
Age/Grade of Subjects
Kindergarten through high-school
Specified Disability
Many of the studies involved students with learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral problems, physical or mental impairments, and/or children who had been identified as at-risk, underachieving, or failing.
Summer school programs designed to:
- prevent delinquency
- promote students who had failed or been retained
- remediate learning deficiencies
- prevent future academic problems
- develop underachievers' performance
- improve attitudes towards school
- provide academic enrichment
- accelerate the academic progress of advanced students
Duration of Intervention
The summer school programs studied ranged in duration from less than 60 hours to more than 120 hours.
1. Of the studies that provided only directional information (i.e. studies in which effect sizes could not be calculated) there was clear evidence that summer school positively effects students' achievement.
2. Children of middle class SES appear to benefit more from summer school programs than children from low-income families.
3. Summer school programs for students with learning disabilities have largely positive effects, while summer school programs for students with more severe disabilities had more mixed results and showed less effectiveness overall.
4. Summer school programs carried out in suburbs, small cities or rural communities had more positive outcome than programs in large cities.
5. Summer programs that were limited in size to fewer than 8 schools or classrooms were more effective than larger programs.
6. Students who received individualized instruction or participated in summer school programs of limited size (less than 20 students) made greater gains than students in programs with fewer opportunities for individual attention.
7. There was wide variation in the reported effectiveness of summer school programs requiring parent involvement; however, the average effect was positive.
8. Summer school programs lasting between 60 and 120 hours were more effective than programs that lasted less than 60 hours or more than 120 hours.
9. Acceleration programs showed mixed effectiveness on academic outcomes and measures of self-concept.
Combined Effects Size
1. Summer school programs for students with learning disabilities had positive effects, ranging from an effect size of 0.23 after adjustments for methodological confounds to an unadjusted effect size of 0.34.
2. Summer programs showed moderate effect sizes, ranging from 0.44 to 0.56, for children from middle SES families. Summer school programs for children from low-income families showed small but still significant effect sizes of 0.20 to 0.24.
3. Summer school programs carried out in suburbs, small cities or rural communities had higher effect sizes (ES = 0.34 to 0.44) than programs in large cities (ES = 0.24 to 0.29).
4. Summer programs that were limited in size to fewer than 8 schools or classrooms had effect sizes ranging from 0.42 to 0.90 while larger programs conducted in 8 or more classrooms had low effect sizes of 0.13 to 0.18.
5. Summer school programs of limited size (less than 20 students) had higher effect sizes (ranging from 0.38 to 0.47) than programs with more than 20 students in each class (ES ranges from 0.19 to 0.27).
6. There was wide variation in the reported effectiveness of summer school programs requiring parent involvement; however, the average effect was positive (effect sizes ranged from 0.53 to 0.90).
7. Summer school programs lasting between 60 and 120 hours were more effective (ES = 0.37) than programs that lasted less than 60 hours (ES = 0.20) or more than 120 hours (ES = 21).
Summer school benefits its participants, though the benefit varies depending on participant characteristics and the content and delivery of the program. The authors of this meta-analysis suggest several implications of summer school research for policy makers:
1. First, policy makers at all levels of government should continue to fund summer school programs, because summer school has been proven to help prevent summer learning loss, as well as remediate, reinforce, and accelerate learning.
2. Policy makers should use a significant amount of the funding for summer school programs to go towards reading and math instruction.
3. Funds should also be set aside for encouraging participation in summer programs, especially by disadvantaged students.
4. Policy makers should not micromanage summer school programs. Instead, they should provide schools and teachers with control over the structure and delivery of programs.
5. Finally, policy makers could contribute to future data-based decision making efforts by requiring rigorous formative and summative outcome evaluations of summer school programs.

The following is an excerpt from the book The New Retirement: The Ultimate Guide to the Rest of Your Life.
In a way, this is a trick question. One rule of thumb says you need only 60
to 80 percent of your current income to retire, since it costs
money to make money -- workers pay for transportation, a work
wardrobe and meals, plus they pay Social Security taxes and
invest in retirement funds. In addition, many retirees have
already put their kids through college and plan to downsize
their homes. Some experts, however, suggest you may need 100
percent or more of your current income (especially when you
first retire) if you still have kids in school, have parents
who rely on you for some financial support, have to pay a
larger share of your health insurance, plan on traveling extensively
or pursuing new interests, would like to eat every meal out,
or want to relocate to a more expensive resort-type setting.
The real answer to "How much do you need?" is that you can't
rely on anyone's rule of thumb -- you need to make your own
judgments after considering your own retirement plans.
Each of us is different. Some of us are eternally optimistic, while others have a dim view of the world. Some people save money to a fault, while others seem never to have a spare dime. Here's another catch-22: The earlier you start planning for retirement, the better. The earlier you start, however, the less you will know what your specific needs will be down the line. Will you need long- term care insurance? Will you have to move to a home with your bedroom on the main level for mobility purposes? As you grow older, you will have a much better idea of how you want to live in your retirement years, but if you wait until you are older to start planning for retirement, you will have less time to prepare for it.
The best way to start thinking about retirement is to think about the choices you'll be making. If you are within 5 years of retirement, you probably have a fairly good idea of the lifestyle you desire. You may know you want to work part time, volunteer, and develop some new skills. You might be trying to decide whether you should relocate to a warmer climate, buy a second home, or downsize your housing in order to travel and spend less time on chores. Each of these decisions comes with some type of cost -- financial, emotional, or both.
Many people don't really have a handle on what life is costing them now. We get a paycheck, pay our bills, and if there is anything left over, we spend it or add it to our savings or investments; if we're short, money comes out of savings. Here are some specific things to consider as you think about your financial retirement plan.
Reexamine your 401(k) plan. First and foremost, once you retire, you won't be saving money from your paycheck to your 401(k) plan anymore. So money may start to come out of it rather than go into it every month.
Reslice the pie. Medical care and medications will likely become a much larger part of your overall expenditures, and the cost of leisure travel, which has held fairly steady in recent years, may spiral upward as the 78 million boomers start marching toward postponed vacations. There are many variables to consider -- how long you'll live, the return on your investments, future inflation rates, and unexpected retirement expenses, to mention a few.
Reexamine homeownership. Even if your mortgage will be paid before you retire, you will still have real estate taxes and insurance to pay. If these amounts are currently escrowed and paid for you by the tender, remember to account for them separately when planning for the future. Also, remember that without a mortgage, you will have no mortgage interest tax deduction, so you may see your income tax payments go up. (See the pros and cons of having a mortgage on page 383.)
Separate the necessities from discretionary expenses. Heat, electricity, telephone, health insurance, food, and car expenses are among the things you might have a hard time foregoing. Vacations, club expenses, hobbies, subscriptions, dining out, entertainment, and charitable contributions are discretionary items and may vary quite a bit from year to year. And don't forget the support you may give to your kids, your grandkids, and maybe even an elderly relative.
Don't forget the important capital items. Do you have several cars now that you will continue to have in retirement? How often will you replace those cars, and what will you spend to do so? Will you lease, borrow, or pay cash? Will your home need improvements (a new roof, landscaping, painting, emergency repairs), and what will they cost? Will you be maintaining two homes? If so, what will be the added cost?
Plan for inflation. It can be your biggest enemy (although making bad investments and spending too much on frivolous things can be just as bad). An unfortunate reality is that many people ignore inflation when calculating what they'll need down the road. This is a huge mistake. While working, your raises generally help you keep up with inflation. When you retire, you need to plan for income increases just to pay for price increases. While inflation has been very low in recent years (prices for the goods we buy have increased about 2.5 percent per year for the past decade), this may not always be so. For example, in 1980 the inflation rate was 13.5 percent -- in just that 1 year! And many of the things you will be buying in retirement may increase at much higher rates than the average rate of inflation.
Decide on a reasonable inflation rate for the sake of projection -- say, somewhere between 3 and 4 percent for most of your ordinary expenses, 5 to 7 percent for health care. The chart below, which assumes a 4 percent rate of inflation on purchasing today's equivalent of $25,000 in goods and services, illustrates inflations tremendous impact.
Assuming a 4% inflation rate, 30 years from now it will take more than $80,000 to purchase what $25,000 does today!
Anticipate health insurance costs. They are becoming a huge concern. Currently, Medicare is available at age 65. Whether you retire before or after age 65, you still must anticipate your health insurance costs. Since many businesses subsidize the cost of health insurance, expect that paying the full amount will cost you much more than the amount currently deducted from your paycheck; if you retire prior to age 65, this may amount to an additional $8,000 to $12,000 per year. You may find that your employer provides some coverage upon retirement, but you need to know which family members are covered and how long that coverage lasts. An online study conducted between July and September 2002 by the Kaiser Family Foundation and Hewitt Associates involving 435 companies found that, within several years, more than 20 percent were probably going to discontinue health coverage for future retirees.
If you need health insurance for someone who has a serious health condition, your insurance premiums may be considerably higher. Even when you qualify for Medicare, you may still pay for supplemental coverage and wrestle with the cost of prescriptions. If your health plan now subsidizes your drug costs, that coverage may stop in retirement. In that case, expect your prescriptions to cost up to four times more -- out of your pocket.
Consider long-term care insurance. More than 40 percent of Americans aged 65 or older will enter a nursing home at least once, with an average stay of 3 to 5 years -- and since women live an average of 7 years longer than men, it's more likely they'll end up in a nursing home. A 2003 Metropolitan Life Insurance survey estimated that it costs about $66,000 a year, or about $180 a day, for a private room in a nursing home. Keeping inflation in mind, those numbers will boggle the mind 15 to 30 years from now, when boomers may need long-term care.
Among the largest companies selling long-term care insurance are Transamerica, Occidental, GE Capital, John Hancock, Unum Provident, MetLife, CAN, and Penn Treaty. There are a lot of questions to ask if you're considering this type of insurance: How long has the company been around, and how long has it been selling this type of insurance? How healthy are its finances? (Check www.ambest.com or www.insure.com/ratings/ for financial strength ratings.) What conditions are necessary to qualify for benefits? Is the policy guaranteed to be renewable? Exactly what services are covered (does it cover home care and Alzheimer's, for example)? How long after you need services do the benefits kick in? Is being admitted to a hospital a necessary prerequisite to receiving benefits? What is the benefit period of the policy? Do the benefits keep pace with inflation? Do you need to keep paying the premiums once you start collecting benefits?
Invest less aggressively. Add an element of conservatism to your investment decisions. You will need to make investments, and investments always have risks. The risks could be just temporary declines in the market value of a good company's stock, or they could be more severe -- bonds defaulting, elimination of a dividend you were counting on for your income, or even bankruptcy. If you place too many large bets, you increase the possibility of a failed retirement plan. Because of this, practice diversification, and plan your investment strategy with prudence; don't put all your dollars into one or two companies; place most of your faith in companies that have successfully weathered the past (especially after the three years of investment trauma between 2000 and 2003); and use a mix of investments, such as a combination of bonds, CDs, money market funds, real estate, and stock. Mutual funds are great tools that offer instant diversification within almost all investment asset classes. Don't bet on long shots, or if you must, keep those bets to sizes that you can afford to lose. (For more help with diversification, see pages 389 to 391.)

The federal tax deadline is just around the corner and millions of Americans are scurrying to file their returns. Celebrities, of course, must pay taxes too, but some have let previous tax deadlines come and go without paying what they owe. From Lindsay Lohan and Pamela Anderson to Ozzy Osbourne and Wesley Snipes, some celebrities have faced some serious tax problems.
So how can celebrities avoid finding themselves on the wrong side of the IRS?
"Celebrities should be sure they know what their accountant is reporting on their tax returns, including every deduction or credit listed on the return ... because they are ultimately responsible for paying their own taxes," Nick Rizzi, the founder and CEO of Smart Tax, told The Huffington Post.
Additionally, "Celebrities must outsource financial matters and their taxes to people who have their complete financial well-being in mind and are fully aware of the exact laws and deadlines, and not to friends or other personal relationships," Rizzi said.
And like the rest of us, they simply need to plan ahead.
"The best way for a celebrity to make sure that they pay all of their taxes this year is to make estimated tax payment four times using form 1040 ES," said Joshua S. Barger, vice president of tax services for Foundation Financial Group. "This will allow them to spread out the amount they will have to pay for contracted/self-employed work over the course of the year in less amounts rather than come up with the full balance when they file the next year."
Who are these celebrity scofflaws? Check out the slideshow below:
In January 2012, Lindsay Lohan reportedly received notice from the IRS that she owed over $93,000 in unpaid taxes from 2009. According to TMZ, the actress was simply unaware of the issue.
In April 2012, former NFL star Warren Sapp filed for bankruptcy, revealing that he owed $942,000 in back taxes from 2006 and 2010.
According to the IRS, Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon owed $1.7 million in taxes from 2008 and 2009.
In 2009, rapper Method Man was arrested for failing to pay $33,000 in back taxes.
In 2012, it was revealed that comedian Chris Tucker reportedly owed the government $12 million in unpaid taxes.
"Pan Am" actress Christina Ricci was hit with a federal income tax lien of nearly $180,000 on her 2008 earnings.
"Baywatch" actress Pamela Anderson owed nearly half a million dollars to the IRS in 2010.
Actor Nicolas Cage reportedly owed $6.7 million to the IRS at the end of 2009.
In 1996, Burt Reynolds reportedly owed the state of California $225,000 in back taxes. According to his rep, his debt has been fully paid.
"Hunger Games" star Wes Bentley and his estranged wife, Jennifer Quanz, owed over $200,000 in delinquent and federal taxes in 2010.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell owed more than $63,000 in back taxes from 2009.
Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison for neglecting to pay over $17 million in taxes. He serving his time in December 2010.
According to E! News, Lionel Richie owes $1.1 million in unpaid taxes from 2010.

[432] Utility of Islet 1, PAX8, CDX2 and TTF1 in Fine Needle Aspiration Workup of Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Claudia Velosa, Jacqueline Nunez, Jan Silverman. Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA
Background: Determining the origin of a metastatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) can be challenging since primary NET from various sites share similar cytologic features. CDX2 and TTF1 have been found helpful identifying well-differentiated primary NET of gastrointestinal (GI) and pulmonary origin, respectively. Islet1 and PAX8 are useful markers for pancreatic endocrine neoplasia (PEN). We evaluated a panel of markers to determine the origin of metastatic NET on fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology.
Design: FNA of 20 cases of primary NET (16 pancreatic, 5 pulmonary, 1 ileal, 1 duodenal, 1 colonic, and 1 gastric) and 31 metastatic NET (13 pancreatic, 10 pulmonary, 6 ileal, 1 duodenal, and 1 rectal) were evaluated. Cell blocks were immunohistochemically (IHC) stained for PAX8, Islet 1, TTF1 and CDX2. Nuclear staining for all antibodies was independently scored by two investigators as negative (<5% positivity) or positive (>5% moderate strong positivity).
Results: Islet 1 and PAX8 were positive in 13/16 (81.2%) and 14/16 (87.5%), respectively, of primary PEN. 10/13 cases (76.9%) of metastatic PEN were positive for either Islet1 or PAX8. Coexpression of both was present in 12/16 (75.0%) and 9/13 (69.2%) primary and metastatic PEN, respectively. No cases of primary or metastatic ileal NET were positive Islet1 or PAX8. PAX8 was positive in 1/1 primary gastric, 1/1 primary duodenal and 1/5 primary pulmonary NET. Islet 1 was expressed in 1/1 primary duodenal and 1/5 primary pulmonary NET. CDX2 expression was present in all cases of primary duodenal, ileal, colonic and rectal NET and 5/6 (83.3%) metastatic ileal NET. 1/16 (6.25%) primary and 2/13 (15.4%) metastatic PEN were positive for CDX2. TTF1 was positive in all cases of primary and metastatic pulmonary NET.
Conclusions: 1.Islet 1 and PAX8 were specific and sensitive for metastatic PEN 2.Although there was no significant difference between Islet1 and PAX8 in sensitivities and specificities for primary and metastatic PEN, 18.7% primary and 15.3% metastatic PEN showed discordant staining, suggesting that the stains complement each other as part of IHC panel for the FNA work-up of PEN 3.Islet 1 and PAX8 expression was negative in primary and metastatic ileal NET compared with high expression in primary and metastatic PEN, suggesting that Islet 1 and PAX8 can be useful in the FNA cytology work-up of ileal versus pancreatic metastatic NET 4.CDX2 and TTF1 were specific for primary and metastatic GI and pulmonary NET 5. We recommend Islet 1, PAX8 in addition to TTF1, and CDX2 for the work-up of metastatic NET of unknown primary in FNA cytology.

Sending running shoes from the Speed River Track team and the Guelph, Ontario community to Haiti to be given to the Leogane locals.
My name is Chantelle Groenewoud and I am a post-collegiate runner for Speed River Track Club. We are very fortunate to be given running shoes to help us train to the best of our abilities. Since we run many kilometers in short periods of time the shoes break down fairly quickly and are tossed aside, they are still very good but to avoid injury we switch to a new pair as a precaution. I thought to myself that it seemed like a waste and wanted to find a better way to get the full use out of these shoes. Simultaneously my boyfriend Jacques Achille is heading down to Haiti to build houses with the Fuller Center for Housing Inc. I unfortunately am unable to attend due to my training and racing schedule. I figured what better way to help out for this trip than to send down with his group these running shoes for the locals there in the town. The community I live in is great and not only did my team want to help out but also the surrounding runners. I have collected over 70 pairs of shoes so far and that is only in a couple weeks. I will be collecting much more in the next little while. The money that is donated will go to getting the Fuller Center to send the shoes down to the community. Any additional funds raised that doesnt go towards the shipment of shoes will go directly to the Fuller Center for Housings Haitian project.
