Living With Testicular Cancer
Resource Guide
Cancer is a disease in which cells grow in an abnormal way. Normally, the cells divide in a controlled manner. If cells keep dividing when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue called a tumor forms.
A tumor can be benign or malignant. A benign tumor is not cancer and will not spread to other parts of the body. A malignant tumor is cancer. Cancer cells invade and damage tissue around them. They can also enter the lymph and blood streams, spreading to other parts of the body. Testicular cancer is the development of malignant cells in the one or more of the testicles.
The testicles (or testes) are a pair of male sex glands that produce sperm and male hormones. They are located under the penis in a sac-like pouch called the scrotum. At the top of each testis is a bunch of tiny tubules that collect and store sperm. This structure is called the epididymis. The sperm travel from the epididymis through the vas deferens and out through the urethra during ejaculation.

Cell division and cell death are a normal process in the body to replace old or damaged cells. Cancerous cell growth may related to changing hormone levels or chromosomal abnormalities in the sperm-producing (germ) cells of the testicles.
Though rare, testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in young men between the ages 20 and 35 years. According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 8,430 American men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2015, resulting in an estimated 380 deaths.
Currently, over 95% of testicular cancers are cured.

The Bruins had six days off before facing the Penguins in the Eastern Conference finals. After alrady facing Pittsburgh three times this season, Claude Julien needed all of six seconds to know exactly how he wanted to match up against Pittsburgh's best players. When the puck drops for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday, however, the Bruins will be looking at unfamiliar faces in the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Bruins had six days off before facing the Penguins in the Eastern Conference finals. Claude Julien needed all of six seconds to know exactly how he wanted to match up against Pittsburgh's best players.
The teams had played each other three times in the regular season. Julien and Penguins counterpart Dan Bylsma had coached against each other for several years. There weren't many mysteries when it came to what Julien was planning.
At every opportunity, Julien had Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg on the ice against Evgeni Malkin. When Sidney Crosby came onto the ice, the Bruins countered with Patrice Bergeron and his linemates alongside defensemen Andrew Ference and Johnny Boychuk.
The Bruins won the first two games by a 9-1 aggregate and held Crosby and Malkin scoreless in a sweep.
When the puck drops for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday at the United Center, the Bruins will be looking at unfamiliar faces in the Chicago Blackhawks.
Because of the lockout that wiped away the season's first three months, the Bruins didn't face any Western Conference teams. The first Final between Original Six teams since 1979 has an old-time World Series feel, two teams meeting for the first time on the biggest stage.
"Other than what we've seen on TV, we don't really know much about them," Milan Lucic said of the Blackhawks, "other than that they're a real good hockey club."
Both teams' prep work is based on live scouting and video work.
"Even the teams that we played we relied a lot on video," Julien said Sunday. "The only advantage you have sometimes is that you know from going head to head with them what's worked and what hasn't worked. When it comes to that, it's the same for both teams.
"I think we've done a lot of pre-scout and watched them play enough, have an idea of how they've played, just like I'm sure they do with us."
The Bruins last played the Blackhawks on Oct. 15, 2011, a 3-2 Boston win in a shootout in Illinois. By Game 1, it will have been 605 days since then.
Both teams have poured their resources into figuring out the opponent's forecheck strategies, goalie tendencies and all the minutiae that make the difference in close playoff games.
"I think at this point in hockey, there's so much video and you break down the sides pretty much," Chris Kelly said. "Both sides will be pretty familiar with one another come the first game on Wednesday."
Like the Bruins, the Blackhawks have multiple scoring options. In the last two games of the Western Conference finals, coach Joel Quenneville flipped right wings Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa on the top two lines, putting Kane with center Jonathan Toews and emerging star Bryan Bickell. Kane responded with four goals in the last two games, including a hat trick in the Game 5 clincher.
Page 2 of 2 - Chicago's second line consists of Patrick Sharp, Michal Handzus and Hossa.
The Blackhawks are likely too deep to focus on one line. Chara and Seidenberg will be stuck on one trio, Bergeron the other.
The Boston coaches didn't show any video or have meetings Sunday when the Bruins returned to the ice for practice for the first time since sweeping Pittsburgh on Friday. There are two more days for Julien to reveal the assignments to his players.
"We have a pretty good idea," Julien said. "We've done our homework, we see what they have. We're not going in there blindly. We're not going in there not knowing what we want to do. I wouldn't be here if that was the case. Have a pretty good idea what we want to do.
"Whether it works or not, we'll see. If it doesn't work the way we like it, we'll make the adjustments."

Facing Freedom
After Senator Lyman Trumbull reported the antislavery amendment out of the Judiciary Committee on February 10, 1864, debate on the measure began-but not in Congress. The Senate took more than six weeks to get around to its discussion of Trumbull's resolution. By then, initial deliberation of the issue already had begun in the conversations and correspondence of politicians, legal theorists, political observers, and ordinary Americans. The time between the introduction of the amendment to the Senate and the congressional debates was truly a formative period for the measure and for African American rights in general.
During this period an amendment fever swept across the North. Local political meetings began issuing resolutions calling for constitutional revision on every issue from the abolition of slavery to the establishment of a national religion. Republicans in particular tried to puzzle out not only the meaning of the abolition amendment but the nature of the Constitution itself. Specifically, some began to consider whether one amendment alone would be enough to adjust the Constitution to fit the new state of the nation and the new status of African Americans. Perhaps the time had come to add a slate of amendments-in effect, to rewrite the Constitution. Meanwhile, some within the Democratic party began to take seriously the idea of endorsing the amendment, thereby changing the party's course on emancipation and stealing some wind from Republican sails. Oddly, the people who seemed least interested in the movement to abolish slavery by constitutional amendment were African Americans. Their lack of interest was not a sign of political apathy-the activism of African Americans during the last years of the war was as strong as ever-but instead was a reflection of their belief that the surest guarantee of equality lay in tangible economic and political power instead of a parchment promise of legal freedom.
What emerges from the study of these groups during this period is a sense of the complete diversity in American attitudes toward the Constitution and constitutional amendments. No single wartime doctrine regarding constitutional change, not even a set of competing doctrines, dominated the intellectual landscape. Instead, people's prewar attitudes toward the founding document and its revision constantly shifted in relation to changing political and social objectives. The immediate circumstances of

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming[уреди извор]
(Sorry for writing in English)
When using data from Wikidata on Wikipedia and other sister projects, there is currently a limitation in place that hinders some use cases: data can only be accessed from the corresponding item. So, for example, the Wikipedia article about Berlin can only get data from the Wikidata item about Berlin but not from the item about Germany. This had technical reasons. We are now removing this limitation. It is already done for many projects. Your project is one of the next ones. We will roll out this feature here on August 12.
We invite you to play around with this new feature if you are one of the people who have been waiting for this for a long time. If you have technical issues/questions with this you can come to d:Wikidata:Contact the development team.
A note of caution: Please be careful with how many items you use for a single page. If it is too many pages, loading might get slow. We will have to see how the feature behaves in production to see where we need to tweak and how.
How to use it, once it is enabled:
- Parser function: {{#property:P36|from=Q183}} to get the capital from the item about Germany
- Lua: see mw:Extension:Wikibase Client/Lua

Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is here[уреди извор]
(Sorry for writing in English)
Hi everyone,
As I have previously announced here we have now enabled the arbitrary access feature here. This means from now on you can make use of data from any Wikidata item in any article here. Before you could for example only access data about Berlin in the article about Berlin. If you want to find out more or have questions please come to d:Wikidata:Arbitrary access. I hope this will open up great possibilities for you and make your work easier. Cheers Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) 15:32, 12 август 2015 (CEST)
VisualEditor News #4—2015[уреди извор]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team have been working on mobile phone support. They have fixed many bugs and improved language support. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices.
Wikimania[уреди извор]
The team attended Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City. There they participated in the Hackathon and met with individuals and groups of users. They also made several presentations about VisualEditor and the future of editing.
Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the VisualEditor 2015 Translathon. Our thanks and congratulations to users Halan-tul, Renessaince, जनक राज भट्ट (Janak Bhatta), Vahe Gharakhanyan, Warrakkk, and Eduardogobi.
For interface messages (translated at translatewiki.net), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (+21.7%). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).
For documentation messages (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (+20.3%). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).
We published some graphs showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. We thank the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.
Recent improvements[уреди извор]
Auto-fill features for citations can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the citoid service to convert a URL or DOI into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org.
Your wiki can customize the first section of the special character inserter in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top. In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.
Future changes[уреди извор]
The team will be changing the appearance of selected links inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.
On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.
Let's work together[уреди извор]
- Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page is now using Flow instead of LiquidThreads.
- Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at mediawiki.org if you can help.
- If your wiki would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace, you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
- Please file requests for language-appropriate "Задебелено" and "Закосено" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.
- The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.
- The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

thesswiki[уреди извор]
On behalf of Wikipedia Community User Group Greece, we would like to invite you to be part of an ambitious Wikipedia-inspired project for the City of Thessaloniki. The project is entitled thesswiki, and aims to digitize the history and culture of the city of Thessaloniki and connect the physical monuments to the wikipedia world.
QR codes will be mounted on the sides of buildings or monuments in order to allow users with smartphones, focusing specifically on tourists and visitors, to scan them and instantly access up-to-date Wikipedia entries about all aspects of life in Thessaloniki in their native language. (see QRpedia)
We invite you to support the project and write and extend articles about these monuments in your own languages, as this will benefit visitors of Thessaloniki, from you own country. You can see the actual progress on the following page: meta:thesswiki#Articles of interest
Museums and archives of the city have pledged to open and upload content to Wikimedia Commons, and also support the writting of better articles.
At this point, we are excited to invite neighboring and other international Wikipedia chapters or User Froups, and interested Wikimedians to participate in the project. The project will be officially announced at the opening ceremony of Demetria Festival 2015, the most prominent annual cultural festival taking place in Thessaloniki in September 2015 and an official kick-off event is planned to take place during the weekend of September 26 & 27.
During the kick off event, we will present the project and what has taken place this far to the general public. Moreover, an Edit-athon event and a QR-marathon will take place, and possibly include speeches from international speakers and host a wiki-camp for international participants.
In this framework, we invite you to a 2-day-backstage-visit schedule, especially designed for wikipedians wishing to travel to Thessaloniki during the kick-off event, offering a VIP-tour around the most prominent museums, monuments, and galleries in the city (such as the Museum of Byzantine Culture, the Museum of Photography, and the State Museum of Contemporary Art) and participation in major Dimitria and thesswiki actions. We are aiming to inspire you to write articles in your native wikipedia languages and we are planning to offer accommodation for two nights (25-26 September), and meals as detailed in the attached agenda. (Since the budget for this program is limited, if your chapter/user-group is able to cover travel expenses for you users and you would like to use it instead of our free accommodation offer, you would be more than welcome to use it :). This will help us host even more people!) In case you are interested, please reply ASAP to firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com to help you arrange all the specifics and provide you further information.

VisualEditor News #5—2015[уреди извор]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
Recent improvements[уреди извор]
Educational features: The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the Врска and Наведи tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (T108620) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (T112354) More in-software educational features are planned.
Links: It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (T74108, T91285) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (T109498, T110347, T63558) These "magic links" use a custom link editing tool.
Uploads: Registered editors can now upload images and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "Вметни Слики и снимки" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.
Mobile: Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (T85630) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (T111894) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "Избриши" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (T62110) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.
Rich editing tools: You can now add and edit sheet music in the visual editor. (T112925) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (T114227, T113354) When editing formulæ and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of graphs; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.
On the English Wikipedia, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under Special:Preferences.
Future changes[уреди извор]
You will soon be able to switch from the wikitext to the visual editor after you start editing. (T49779) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a single edit tab. (T102398) This project will combine the "Уреди" and "Уреди извор" tabs into a single "Уреди" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Уреди" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.
Let's work together[уреди извор]
- Share your ideas and ask questions at VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page uses Flow for discussions.
- Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).
- Local admins can set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki. If you need help, then please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.

Community Wishlist Survey[уреди извор]
Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.
The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a Community Wishlist Survey to find the most useful projects that we can work on.
For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist.
While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English.
Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.
We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!
Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed[уреди извор]
Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.
If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.
Hi everyone,
This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.
As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.
We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.
Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.
(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)
Thank you for your participation!

Icahn told CNBC, "I can only say right now that it's certainly not on our radar."
Shares of RIMM are down 60% in the past year, yet Icahn does not appear to be tempted.
"All I can tell you is that these rumors get out and we don't dignify them," said Icahn.
I previously wrote that RIMM is most likely not an Icahn type of investment because other value investors like Prem Watsa still have confidence in the co-CEOs of RIMM. Thus, for Icahn to get involved and try to shake up the board at RIMM would cause conflict between current investors that continue to endorse the beleaguered management team at RIMM.
Tuesday is a huge day for RIMM as it hosts its annual developers' conference in San Francisco, known as DevCon. The company typically uses the gathering to unveil new development tools and build support among developers for its BlackBerry family of devices.

Madeline Kara Neumann is shown last summer working on chalk art during downtown Wausau's Chalk Fest. She died Sunday following complications from diabetes. Her family told authorities they chose to pray for her healing rather than seek medical attention.

TOWN OF WESTON -- The parents of an 11-year-old girl who died Sunday from an untreated form of diabetes prayed for the girl's health rather than seek medical intervention, police said.
According to police, Madeline Kara Neumann of the town of Weston died of diabetic ketoacidosis, a condition that develops when a person's body has too little insulin. She reportedly had not received medical treatment since she was 3 years old, said Everest Metro Police Chief Dan Vergin, whose department is investigating.

The management of the Claremont and Wynberg (main road) American clothing store are crooks. I bought a sandal at their store in Claremont and it broke after wearingit thrice. I returned it and they gave me new pair. again the same thing happened with the new pair. This points ou that its either they are selling products of poor quality or they are fake. When I returned the broken sandles again but their extremely rude boss refused saying: "this is a business Im running, you cannot replace your shoes for the second time". This statements contradics the newest customer protection act of South Africa. If they are used to scamming people, they have come aross a differentt person this time - they will be hearing from customer protection very soon.

My guess is Apple will sue again if both Apple-Samsung I and Apple-Samsung II don't result in an injunction against Samsung, and if the legal decisions don't make it nearly impossible to get one. (Apple-Samsung I is on appeal at the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.) It would probably take an injunction to get Samsung to agree to any settlement acceptable to Apple.
If there is another lawsuit, Apple would choose its infringed claims/patents that it thought had the best chance of winning an injunction against the set of Samsung products currently being sold, and not necessarily those that were previously dropped. Some of the claims/patents from I/II may have expired by then, or are no longer infringed in newer Samsung products. Since Apple wants an injunction and not money, it may not be worth suing over older products.
That was exactly Apple's intent with Apple/Samsung II. Technology changes way too fast and the courts move much too slowly for timely lawsuits that would seriously impact current products. Personally I think the best Apple can hope for is monetary damages. Effective injunctions are gonna be tough unless the litigation is in Germany and even there they seem to fail over patent validity more often than not.

Remember Me
Words by: Lizzy Justesen
The boys of Leftover
Salmon entered the bluegrass scene humbly, touring at local bars in mountain towns
all over Colorado in a VW bus. Over 20 years later, Leftover Salmon dominates the
contemporary bluegrass scene, with their self-proclaimed "polyethnic Cajun slamgrass"
circus that tours all over the country. This summer, before embarking on a full-scale fall
tour in September, Salmon has been seen from coast to coast – from High Sierra in
California to All Good in Ohio.
Three years ago, here at JamBase – we featured Leftover
Salmon: 20 Years Down River, a four-part celebration of Salmon's 20-year-
anniversary, complete with interviews from various musicians both within and outside the
band. Now, Drew Emmitt, a man of many titles (co-founder, singer, guitarist, fiddle
and mandolin player) discusses what is coming next in this chat from just after last
month's Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
Welcome back from Telluride! You and Vince Herman have both been attending Telluride as
spectators and performers for over twenty-five years. How has Telluride been a factor in
your growth as a musician? What keeps you coming back to this festival?
Drew Emmitt: Boy, a lot of reasons. Number one, there's this so much history there
- just because we started out there. We formed as a band in the campground at Telluride.
That's where we used to go and watch all these bands that really influenced us as well,
it's like a big family reunion every year. It's just an amazing time. Now, we get to play
with all these people that we grew up kind of hero-worshipping; it's a really great thing.
This was my 20th time playing the festival, in various incarnations – Lefthand String
Band, my solo band, Bill Nershi and with Salmon so, this was number 20, that was big for
me. Number 13 for Salmon, but yeah, for us, it just really is altogether - the best
festival in the country. For what we do, and for music in general. It is always a great
Telluride is held in Colorado, where Salmon originated. Many other bluegrass bands like
The String Cheese Incident and Yonder Mountain String Band also have roots in the Colorado
area. Is there something special in that area that caters to bluegrass music or musicians
in general?
DE: Well, I think a lot of it is Telluride, and a lot of it is Rockygrass. Colorado
is a real rich, kind of fertile ground for music. There are a lot of great places to play.
You know there's the mountain towns, there's Boulder, there's Denver, there's Fort
Collins. It's a great place to come and start a band without having to tour. People are
very receptive, and there are great venues here – Fox Theatre in Boulder, Boulder Theatre,
The Gothic, The Fillmore in Denver and then the ski towns are great places to play.
Because people are ready to party and have a good time. And also, you know, Hot Rize was a
big force in the bluegrass world, and really inspired us. They are from Boulder; they drew
a lot of bands here. As well as New Grass Revival, and Sam Bush, and finally – we kind of
got our turn to be in the chain of events, as a band, and were able to, in our own way,
show people that it was possible to get out and tour without having a record label.
When we started, in the early '90s, we just got out of a school bus, and had no idea what
the hell we were doing, and just made it happen. I think other bands were able to see that
and think, "Oh, well, maybe we don't need a record label. Maybe we could just get out on
the road and start playing." When we started doing that, there wasn't another bluegrass-
oriented band doing that. It was difficult. At that time, it was hard to convince people
that electric bluegrass was something that was going to work. Obviously, these days,
bluegrass has become a big thing in the clubs and theaters as well as festivals. It's been
really fun being a part of that chain. Like I said, we were inspired by bands, and then
came along and did our thing and bridged the gap a little bit, and it's just been rolling
along ever since.
So, Colorado was a good spot for you guys to take off.
DE: Absolutely, and I grew up in Boulder. Went to junior high and high school in
Boulder, and it was always my dream to be a part of the Boulder music scene. That was like
my big dream. Little did I know that I would be touring nationally. Back when I was a
teenager, that was big for me. I watched a lot of great bands come to Boulder, and it
definitely inspired me to want to do that.
You recently announced the dates for this year's Fall Tour. This is going to be the
first time many fans are going to see Andy Thorn, the banjo powerhouse that has joined the
band since the passing of Mark Vann. What kind of energy do you think he brings to the
DE: Well, you know after Mark passed away we had several banjo players' play with
us for various lengths of time. Starting with Tony Furtado, Matt Flynner, Noam Pikelny –
everybody was great, but it really didn't feel like we had a unit, like how we did before
with Mark. When Andy joined the band it just felt like he was just a good fit. Finally, we
had a unit again. It felt like a band, and the energy was back instead of just putting
back together something that was broken. Now, it feels like we have a real band again.
It's a great feeling, he's a great player, great energy and very enthusiastic, and very
happy to be playing in Leftover Salmon. It's a very great thing.
This summer is the first year that Leftover Salmon, as a whole, is playing the
Northwest String Summit in Oregon. I know you've been there with your band, and Bill
Nershi - are you excited about playing together at Horning's?
DE: Very much so. We did do a surprise set there, a mini-set that the Yonder boys
kind of pushed us to do because Jeff Sipe was there, Tye North, our old bass player, and
Vince and I were there. We had Danny Barnes on the banjo, it wasn't really Salmon, but it
was kind of like a thrown together version of Salmon. It was really, really fun and I
think we all kind of got it in our heads that it would be fun to play there as the real

Comments about BUNN BX Coffee Maker - Black:
That's right - 3 mins and hot coffee!! If you are in a "I neeed coffee now mood" the Bunn BX is for you. It is smaller than most coffee makers - fits under the cabinet well and did I say "3 mins and hot coffee!!" The coffee maker holds a second water tank and that is why you get coffee so quickly. The black/stainless steel looks fits well in any kitchen or living room for the lazy coffeeholics out there. Uses regular coffe filters - the basket kind or a gold mesh permanent filter basket. it's also made by Bunn - one of the world's finest coffe makers. It could be restaurant quality equipment and such a good price - under $100. Some more benefits are:
Brews 4 to 10 cups (20 to 50 oz) in about 3 minutes.
Glass carafe and porcelain-coated warming plate with lighted on/off switch.
Unique sprayhead ensures even, complete coffee flavor extraction.
Stainless steel internal hot water tank keeps water heated to optimal brewing temperature of 200 degrees F.
Product Built to North American Electrical Standards.
One noteable difference between this and most previous pour-over Bunn models is that this unit does not require the use of a seperate water pitcher. You simply fill your coffee pot with water, lift the little door on the top/front of the unit and pour your water in. The most important step is to place the coffee pot on the warmer plate, being sure to center it properly, before lowering the lid on the top of the coffee maker. As soon as you lower the door the water will start to flow quickly. If you lower the lid before you place the pot underneath, you will likely end up with a bit of a mess. I recommend that you insert your filter and pour in your measured amount of ground coffee before pouring water into the Bunn, because even with the door up I find that some water tends to drip from the output nozzle, causing water to drip down onto the warmer plate. I fill my pot with water, set it aside while installing my filter and ground coffee, then pour in my water, center the pot on the warmer plate and then lower the door. This has produced proper function every time, without any mess to clean up. Also I don't believe in using vinegar to clean - had mine for 12 years before I had to replace it. Definitely recommend.

Gene regulation by the act of long non-coding RNA transcription
CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Lazarettgasse 14, AKH-BT25.3, 1090, Vienna, Austria
BMC Biology 2013, 11:59 doi:10.1186/1741-7007-11-59Published: 30 May 2013
Long non-protein-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are proposed to be the largest transcript class in the mouse and human transcriptomes. Two important questions are whether all lncRNAs are functional and how they could exert a function. Several lncRNAs have been shown to function through their product, but this is not the only possible mode of action. In this review we focus on a role for the process of lncRNA transcription, independent of the lncRNA product, in regulating protein-coding-gene activity in cis. We discuss examples where lncRNA transcription leads to gene silencing or activation, and describe strategies to determine if the lncRNA product or its transcription causes the regulatory effect.

Odd, I thought Burns was a lowlander.
And if you read people like Hugh Miller you will see that the Scots were
terrified of the "Wild Highlanders," before Culloden. It was only after,
that the peoples North of "The Wall," got to be one big happy family.

The company's platform enables home care management.
You are here
A look back at 2013's most read blog posts
One word to describe 2013 -- mobile. Like the word "plastics" in The Graduate, if you asked investors what made them empty their piggy banks in 2013, this was the year of the Mobile Self. If it is smartphone-like and/or moves with you on your body, to mangle Arnold Schwarzenegger, why not invest a billion or so. But a not-so-subtle change also marked the year -- what was once mHealth has migrated to become healthcare (maybe because those downloaded apps were a bust) and then Health IT by the end of the year. Health IT is where the real budget and money are. To date, no one has figured out how to make money off smart phone apps except smart phone new-every-two carriers. In that light, here are the most read blog posts from 2013:
- Smart phones are impossible to use -- no wonder seniors refuse. Every time a technology divide is crossed, a new one is created. For years, we have documented the incremental growth in Internet use among older adults. And now, 41 million (13.3%) of the 315 million US citizens are 65+. Finally Pew announces, for the first time, that 53% of that 65+ population is online. Using whatever -- it doesn't say. But hang on now, almost 70% of affluent adults own smart phones. Yippee! But when it comes to the 65+ and smart phone use, the sleeping market giant of older adults online still dozes -- only 11% of the 65+ have them. Although smart phones represent 56% of mobile phone use, senior smart phone users represent only 23% of all those mobile phone users -- and their mobile phone usage is the lowest percentage of any of their other online access methods. So why do you suppose that's the case? It surely isn't for lack of money – they have significantly more wealth than younger cohorts.
- Can someone do this -- make a usable smart phone for seniors? Pew's most recent smartphone utilization among the 65+ market in the US is still below 20%. There are two new entrants which -- on the surface -- seem unlikely to help. One of them is sold only in Japan and the other crashed during a test published in today's Wall Street Journal. For the former, the New York Times noted that the Fujitsu Raku-Raku ("easy easy") cell phone sold 20 million handsets in Japan over the past decade, with 10 million of them still in use. In partnership with telecom provider Orange, the company will introduce the Fujitsu Stylistic S01 smartphone into France – its first attempt to export outside of Japan -- and so far not available in the US market. This Raku-Raku smartphone handset has features that US manufacturers should adopt – firmer press required to select a dialing digit, brightening the screen for use in sunlight, a button to text GPS coordinates to get help, and (imagine that!) training on how to use the phones. Meanwhile, Doro has sold 4 million of its feature phone senior handsets and will soon offer more smartphones.
- Family caregivers wanted mobile caregiving apps – they've got them now. Caregivers could see the future of mobile apps – and it came to pass. A few years ago, the National Alliance for Caregiving and United Health Group published a study, conducted during 2010, called the e-Connected Family Caregiver: Bringing Caregiving into the 21st Century, which surveyed family caregivers about their propensity to use any of 12 different technologies to help them with their caregiving responsibilities. The conclusion: "two-thirds of family caregivers who have used some form of technology to help them with caregiving believe web-based and mobile technologies designed to facilitate caregiving would be helpful to them." But as KHN noted below, it's the wild west for (40,000!) smart phone apps -- doctors are suggesting, but not yet prescribing apps for the e-Connected caregiver.
- Five Directories of Technology Products for Aging in Place. Directory of tech offerings -- is there one? Are you often asked the question – where is the list of technology products for older adults – is there one Consumer Reports-like resource that reviews and will help me figure out what is available that could be useful for an aging relative or client? Unfortunately, there really isn't one source, but there are some resources that could be useful – here is a getting-started list that you can feel free to augment with comments.
- Six New Technologies for Aging in Place. The fall is an event extravaganza – and oh, tech products to consider. Taking a look at AgeTech West in November, the mHealth Summit upcoming in December and the recent Health 2.0 and Connected Health Symposium events – and coming in 2014, there will be both Digital Health and Silvers Summit at CES. So as not to miss too many, here are a few selected from the near-term events, as always, hoping to avoid the not-yet-launched as well as including those for caregivers as well as care recipients. And please note – the descriptions of these come from the websites of the companies. Hint to founders – a website that starts with video is a bit lean. Paragraphs of text would help viewers better understand the value proposition – and be searchable!
- Five New Technologies from the What's Next Summit. What's next in tech for older adults. At the Aging in America 2013 event in Chicago last week, attended by more than 2000 professionals who serve older adults, there were several tracks within the large event, including the Business Forum on Aging, National Alliance of Caregiving Coalitions and for new entrants targeting the boomer/senior market, there was a chance to hear speakers and meet other entrepreneurs at the 10th Annual What's Next Boomer Business Summit 2013. At the Summit, these startups were eager to meet with AARP executives, investors, and other players in the space (like GreatCall and Philips Home Healthcare). So here are five of the new products/services from those in attendance -- listed alphabetically; all of the material comes from their own websites.
- What's old has become new again – the halo of aging in place. Henry Cisneros discovers aging in place. In August, 2012, Kaiser Health News published an interview with former HUD Secretary, Henry Cisneros, who talked about his mother who is aging in place, following some well-considered home modifications. Cisneros also edited a book, Independent for Life – and just published an op-ed in the Miami Herald discussing this new frontier in housing, using his own mother as an example. Home modifications enabled her to remain in her home -- she insisted and he was apparently too cowardly to argue. She is described as widowed, 87 years old, requiring an alarm system, her home in a "neighborhood somewhat in decline." Her neighbors on three sides had passed away, and he admits that even though he visits her frequently (every other day, come on, now really???): "Aging in place in that neighborhood means older women living on their own." Looking ahead: he could have noted that one-third of the 90+ live alone – and while aging in place sounds pretty good, one must pause and remember life expectancy and personal expectation – half of the 65+ today expect to live to 90. And they're right. If a woman lives to 65, she is likely to live to 85. But by age 90, there is an equal likelihood of each of these scenarios: she will live alone, or with her relatives, or in some type of institution.
- Helping seniors get online -- whose job is it anyway? It's a puzzlement – finding the organizations trying to get older adults online. Last June I wrote a post about getting older adults online – in particular, the age range from 75 and beyond – only 34% of those folks were online at that time. Yet so many organizations offer online assistance in coping with a variety of concerns of older adults, whether it is taxpayer assistance, help with online banking, obtaining coupons for grocery savings, even a Geek Squad coupon from AARP -- and it is, naturally, available online! -- to help with problems that older adults might have using computers. Duh. And a new campaign, Everyone On, has produced Connect2Compete, a public-private partnership that has been launched to help low-income individuals cross the digital divide – but only if they have a child on the 'federal free and reduced-cost lunch programs.'

Re: Iron Man 3 Discussion/Photos/ETC.
He and Pepper weren't dating in the first place in the films remember? Just the teasing and the romantic tension between them. I'm very excited about the direction this film is going in so far and the cast has the potential to be the most star studded of any Marvel Studios film so far (including Avengers). I believe that Jessica Chastain will be either Maya Hensen or the MCU version of that character (some adaptation of her). It is pretty clear to me based on the casting so far that Shane Black is adapting Extremis. The casting of Guy Pearce pretty much convinced me this is the direction he is going in which makes me very excited for "Iron Man 3".

Music Clip where lowpass 16 is obvious?

I recently did a sweep test and I can easily hear past 20k (I don't have to turn up the volume or anything). But I had a hard time telling ff123's mustange clips Original from 15kHz cutoff.
I then encoded a some music at --lowpass 16 and could distinguish no loss of frequency.
Does anyone have a clip where the difference is blindly obvious to them. Lowpassing at 16 saves a lot of bits and if I can't tell the difference, why waste them? Perhaps my material does not make it obvious enough.

Think twice about the Santa Cruz. The drivers are the most unstable I've ever seen for a sound card... sound quality is good, but the drivers need work IMHO. The 'control panel' will crash Windows if you change settings while sound is playing. I bought the card yesterday, and am probably going to return it tomorrow.
There are some reviews on the Web pointing this out, try searching Google for "Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Review" (no quotes).

The problem is, on the receiving end the sound arrives with a lot of distortions, most apparent in the lower notes. Single tones are reproduced faithfully, but anything more complex sounds like 8kbps mp3 with applause. For the transmitter, i connect the LED to the amplifier output, and use a resistor to keep it lit, so that the actual sound signal is between about half lit and 100% lit. The kind of amplifier does not seem to matter (capacitor at the output is a part of the amplifier). Attaching a speaker in place of an LED produces a nicely sounding speaker, so something goes wrong in the light part. Here is the whole receiver part: Also tried different kinds of amplifiers, but all on the left of the 1k resistor stays the same. Not sure if it is to blame - it reproduces various blinking lights like 1kHz of LED flashlight rather faithfully. What am i doing wrong? How to do this properly? Help please.
