Every year, we ask: Is the Avalanche sellout streak, the longest in the four major leagues, about to end?
The question was appropriate to an unprecedented degree a year ago, with the NHL coming off a dark season and the Avalanche suddenly minus Peter Forsberg and Adam Foote.
It is even more pertinent now, with Alex Tanguay, Rob Blake and Dan Hinote also gone and other signs pointing to a possible deterioration of the on-ice product.
The gloomy prognosis could turn out to be wrong, of course, and as the re-signings of Joe Sakic and the others attest, it's not as if the Avalanche completely turtled on the contract front and let everyone depart.
But the streak is in danger.
It stands at 484 regular-season and playoff games, and could reach 500 against St. Louis on Dec. 13.
Paul Andrews, Kroenke Sports' executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Thursday wanted it known he isn't losing sleep over whether the sellout streak survives, even as he emphasized that season tickets and 14-game packages still are available.
"We never go into any year taking sellouts for granted," he said.
Andrews placed the renewal rate for Avalanche season tickets at more than 90 percent.
"We have a few months to go, and we're bullish," Andrews said.
The other tricky part to this is that the Avalanche traditionally has "capped" season tickets, and Andrews said he would set that figure anywhere between 13,000 and 14,500, depending on where the available seats were, preserving a selection for the single-game sale that will begin in September.
In the past, the Avalanche has bristled at any hint the sellout streak was being artificially perpetuated, perhaps with the help of pointers gleaned from studying how the Tammany Hall machine used to "find" votes in New York. (Granted, that was so long ago, Chris Chelios was a young defenseman.)
If you were on Ticketmaster's e-mail list, you received missives about specials on Avalanche tickets for specific games. Ads on the television broadcasts relentlessly plugged tickets for upcoming home games, including many on weeknights against lackluster opponents. And 48 hours later, voilà, that game was a sellout. For many home games, there have been blocks of empty seats, which the Avalanche usually attributes to unused group tickets that have been sold.
So it all adds up to at least a little bit of suspicion, if not outright scoffing, about whether the streak has remained legitimate.
As the Colorado Rockies - the baseball franchise, not the old NHL team - illustrated, once the perception of the "hot ticket" is gone and the safety net of a huge season-ticket base has disappeared, the downhill momentum is difficult to stop. It doesn't necessarily represent a loss of "interest," but can be a decision to back away from the financial commitment of season tickets and to pick and choose scattered games from the pool of tickets available from a variety of sources - including the controller's top desk drawer or eBay.
The organization deserves at least a benefit of the doubt, and I for one don't consider it an Enron scandal if the Avalanche announces a sellout on nights when some scattered single seats - or more - remain, as long as it isn't ridiculous. Most significant, despite the NHL's staggering prices, the Avalanche remained a hot ticket.
I'm more impressed with that general reality than with any numbers, and I've looked around on some nights and been amazed that this many folks actually showed up to watch the Avs play St. Louis. On a weeknight. In the fall. Plus, it's only fair to point out that the Avalanche's prices for 2006-07 remain unchanged from last season, and those figures reflected a price-cut after the lockout ended and the Avalanche had to slice the player payroll by about one-third.
That's why it won't be an embarrassing admission when the inevitable streak-is-over announcement comes, as I believe it will this season.
The news will be, and should be, that it was amazing the streak lasted as long as it did.
"We're certainly not going to hide anything from anyone," Andrews promised. "This is an honest organization, top to bottom. If that happened, we'd admit it, and start working on getting another sellout streak started the next game."

How to Care For and Clean Marble Countertops
May 13th, 2015
Consumer Buying Guides to Bathroom and Kitchen Countertops
Granite countertops deliver gorgeous aesthetics in kitchens and bathrooms and have other good qualities. However, there are some potential weaknesses to keep in mind as you consider granite countertops for your home. Here is a look at both sides of the issue.
Reasons to Consider Granite Countertops
Granite has a rich beauty that few other countertop materials can match. It is a natural product with a timeless aura and appeal. Granite countertops take a high-quality kitchen to the next level visually and often become the centerpiece of the room. With more than 20 shades of granite to work with, you'll find one that blends perfectly with your kitchen cabinets, flooring and walls.
Granite is a very hard substance and is not susceptible to scratches. While not ideal to work on because it will dull knife blades, it will take normal wear and tear very well. Granite resists heat too, so its use near a range or cooktop is ideal. When you have to set down a hot pan fast, granite can take the heat without being damaged or weakened. In the bathroom, placing a hair tool on it that is still warm won't be a problem.
Granite can be very resistant to stains and won't absorb liquids when it is properly sealed. A good professional installer will be able to seal it correctly so that it maintains its attractive good looks indefinitely, or you can do it yourself.
Reasons to be Cautious about Granite Countertops
For all their beauty and durability, granite counters do have a few weaknesses. The most concerning problems can occur when the countertops are not sealed correctly or the sealant wears off without the counters being resealed. Granite is porous. This means that unsealed or poorly sealed counters can absorb wine, juice or oil, producing a stain that might be impossible to remove. A poorly-sealed countertop can also harbor bacteria in its pores.
Some treated granite can go 10 years without being sealed, but many countertops will need to be resealed on a yearly basis. When this is overlooked, it won't take long for granite countertops to begin to show signs of staining.
While these counters are very durable, a heavy object dropped on a corner might crack or chip the granite. This isn't common, but it can happen under the right circumstances. The final caution is that granite countertop prices are very high. Expect to pay more than $100 per square foot of countertop, and prices as high as $250 are not uncommon.
Are you good about home maintenance projects including keeping up with regular granite countertop cleaning? Are you careful with juice spills and similar events? If so, there is no good reason not to consider granite countertops. On the other hand, if you've got a busy lifestyle and would do better with a no-maintenance countertop, you've got plenty of good options there too. See our other Pros and Cons articles to compare countertop materials you want to learn more about. Also check out great cleaning products in our store; it is very important to use cleaning products designed for your type of countertop to keep them looking great for years to come.

Katy,I'm a reporter for EARTH mangziae (www.earthmagazine.org). Would you be willing to speak with me about your concerns related to granite countertops? If so, please email me at email@example.com and hope to hear from you soon,Cassandra Willyard
I have granite coptternous in my kitchen and even though I wipe them down or clean them with cleaners they always feel like they have crumbs on them and sometimes there are actual crumbs still left. I can put my hand down on the counter and see the crumbs that stick to my hand. Why don't they come off when wiping them down? Is this a normal problem?

Heather Locklear is recovering from a recent hospitalization "under a doctor's care," a source tells People, but has decided not to go back to rehab. Earlier this month, she was hospitalized after combining alcohol and prescription pills, possibly as a way of coping with the anxiety and depression that have afflicted her for many years. Despite reports that the 50-year-old actress entered a treatment program, a source confirms to People that she's working on her recovery "without an in-patient program." Notes the insider: "Her family and friends haven't given up hope, but they know that for her to get well, she has to want it for herself. She's the only one who can do it." (People)

|Superwet anesthesia redefines large-volume liposuction.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19328085 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Superwet anesthesia is a method of regional anesthesia for liposuction surgery that uses an evenly distributed, rapidly infused solution under pressure, until tissue blanching and moderate tension are achieved, in a ratio of 0.5 to 1.5 ml per milliliter of injectate to lipoaspirate. It is accompanied by systemic anesthesia and supplemented with intravenous hydration. The efficacy of superwet formulation for regional anesthesia was evaluated in a consecutive series of 20 patients who underwent large-volume (>1500 ml) liposuction. The average volume of injectate was 2285 ml and fat aspirate was 2437.5 ml. The average fluid volume fractionated from the aspirate infranatant was 507.5 ml, and the amount of injectate absorbed was 1775.5 ml. The mean "pure fat" fractionation was 1930 ml. Approximately 21% to 22% of injected fluid is not absorbed, so the ratio of fat removed to fluid absorbed by hypodermoclysis is in the range of 11. Consequently, this requires an alteration in traditional fluid replacement levels. This also alters the threshold of what has been traditionally considered "large"-volume liposuction so that the traditional 1500 ml defining large-volume aspirate may no longer be applicable. To achieve consistency in reporting, all liposuction data should be standardized to routinely include the volumes of injectate, aspirate, and infranatant fluid fractionation.

Harper-less Nationals beat up on Cubs
Short-handed Nationals get 5th straight win
Considering how much the Nationals as a whole were struggling to score runs not that long ago, the lack of both Bryce Harper and Jayson Werth from their lineup Friday night could easily have spelled disaster.
These days, though, the Nationals are getting contributions from just about every slot in their lineup, more than enough to overcome the losses of a couple of key starters.
So it was Friday that they pulled off a rather easy, 7-3 victory over the Cubs thanks not to the contributions of Harper or Werth, but of Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa and Kurt Suzuki, who combined to drive in all of the Nats' runs during the club's fifth straight win.
"It's big when your 3-hole hitter's out of there and you score a bunch of runs," manager Davey Johnson said. "That's big."
With Harper sidelined by an ingrown toenail that had to be surgically removed and Werth headed to the disabled list with a minor hamstring strain, the Nationals turned to the bottom half of their batting order to produce at the plate. They wound up with even more production than they needed, getting a homer, a double and three RBI out of Desmond and a pair of two-run doubles out of Espinosa and Suzuki.
Perhaps some among the impressive crowd of 37,191 on a night when the Capitals were hosting Game 5 of their Stanley Cup Playoffs series a couple miles away were surprised by this development, but nobody inside the home clubhouse seemed taken aback.
"I mean, last year, we were missing guys throughout the whole season pretty much," Desmond said. "We just found a way. It's about hitting your stride and keep on moving forward. We're starting to play better baseball."
Indeed they are. The Nationals aren't only scoring more runs, they're pitching better and playing noticeably better defense during this recent hot stretch (six wins in seven games).
The improved glovework was particularly evident Friday night, with Suzuki teaming up with Roger Bernadina to throw out a runner at the plate, Espinosa making a nifty play on a grounder to second and Denard Span going way back in center field to make a spectacular catch in the fifth. Even Ryan Zimmerman, much maligned for his recent throwing woes, looked appreciably better on several routine plays in this game.
"I thought the defense was unbelievable tonight," said Ross Detwiler, perhaps the biggest beneficiary of it all. "They were leaving their feet, left and right. Just played well all around."
Detwiler was hardly in top form, surrendering a staggering six doubles over 6 2/3 innings — four of them to leadoff hitters — yet keeping the damage to only two runs. He was rewarded with his second win of the season, a low total not at all befitting a pitcher who sports a 2.53 ERA.
"I think all of [the doubles] were early in the innings, too," he said. "So you try to keep that runner at third or at second, or wherever he is."
Detwiler was able to go right after hitters thanks to the early lead his teammates supplied. Suzuki got things started with a two-run, opposite-field double in the bottom of the second. Desmond added a two-run homer in the fourth and an RBI double one inning later (finishing 3-for-4 and a triple shy of the cycle). And Espinosa put the finishing touches on the offensive explosion with his own two-run double in the bottom of the fifth, knocking Cubs ace Jeff Samardzija from the game.
The rest of the evening was fairly academic, with Detwiler navigating his way into the seventh before handing it over to Craig Stammen, who recorded the final seven outs.
Just like that, the Nationals finished off their fifth straight victory, improved to 20-15 and left the park with confidence soaring.
"We never put any limitations on ourselves," Suzuki said. "We obviously feel we're swinging the bats better. Timely hitting obviously helps, but for the most part everybody feels like they're going in the right direction."

Anyone with a Bunton gear drive walk behind PLEASE READ
I picked up a basket case BG48-14KAW Bunton walk behind several weeks ago. It was in the process of replacing the blown 14hp Kawasaki with a new one. I got it back together and broke in the new motor but with the blades disengaged the motor pulley tries to grab the belt and drives the blades. I tightened the blade brake and it starts to smoke the belt and chirp. I downloaded a Bunton manual that covers my mower but it does not show the motor or pulleys on the motor. I have checked the belt and I have the correct one according to the manual. I loosened the tensioner considerably but it still doesnt help. My next thought is that the pulley on the motor is too big in diameter which essentially keeps the belt from loosening enough to let it slip on the pulley. My local dealer has not been much help because when I gave them my model number their computer says it is not a good number. I showed them the manual and they know it is but really cant find out any more than I already know. If anyone has a mower like this that works properly I would LOVE to have the outside diameter of the engine pulley that runs the deck. My pulley is aprox 5 and 3/8 inches OD. My mower appears to be from the mid to late 90's according to what I can find on the net. Thanks for any input or help. This is a great site!!
I don't have a Bunton and I don't recall ever working on one, But I've worked on a gazillion others.....
Here's my guess;
Since this was bought as a basket case, It sounds like the belt guides are missing/mis-adjusted that go on the front two engine mounting screws/bolts (one on each side of the engine pulley)...... These two guides push the belt out of the back of the pulley groove slightly when disengaged......
They are part #35 page 6 in your parts diagram.....
"Why go out preserved when you can go out beat up, worn out, sliding in sideways screaming, Holy Sh!t What A Ride" !!!

restorob. The belt guides are there but I put them on the back bolts outside of the pulley. I kind of figured they were there to keep the belt from falling off when disengaged. Are you saying that they should be on the front two bolts with the legs on the inside of the belt? If so then that could be my problem. I have been tinkering with this thing but have not taken the time to look at any others or this may have occured to me. I guess that is what I get for assuming. Do I put the mower to engage and then adjust these to where they are just clear of the belt when tight? I know a guy with a Snapper WB, I guess I need to go and look under his. That will prob answer my questions. Thanks for the help!!
They go on the front two as mentioned, Yes.....Engage the belt then adjust about 1/8-3/16" away from the belt. When disengaged the belt should lax out of the back of the pulley and stop grabbing, Again.....Their shown in your parts manual on page 6 part #35......
"Why go out preserved when you can go out beat up, worn out, sliding in sideways screaming, Holy Sh!t What A Ride" !!!
Thanks a bunch. Ihave the parts and the manual but I had them on the wrong bolts alltogether. Maybe tomorrow I can put it back together and give it a try. I looked at my friends Snapper but it has different type of guide. Now that I read your post, I can see where his does the same as mine once I correctly install them. Thanks again, I will let you know how it works.
Thanks Restrorob!! I installed the belt guides as you instructed and while doing so noticed what was probably a bigger problem than them. I had installed the engine pulley upside down. While I was laying under the mower I noticed the pulleys did not line up well at all. The pulley has a hub on one side that is about 1/2" thick so when installed upside down it puts the pulleys pretty far out of whack. This effectively "side loads" the belt giving it plenty of area for traction. I flipped the pulley and adjusted the belt guides and it engages and disengages fine. Thanks again for the help.
Kool...... Nutter satisfied cusomer.....
"Why go out preserved when you can go out beat up, worn out, sliding in sideways screaming, Holy Sh!t What A Ride" !!!
I have also found out about that thing to do with when putting it back together correctly it tends to work much better.

Like most cancers, prostate cancer (CaP) is believed to be
the result of the accumulation of genetic alterations within
cells. Previous studies have implicated numerous chromo-
somal regions with elevated rates of allelic imbalance (AI),
using mostly primary CaPs with an unknown disease out-
come. These regions of AI are proposed sites for tumor
suppressor genes. One of the regions previously implicated
as coding for at least one tumor suppressor gene is the long
arm of chromosome 18 (18q). To confirm this observation,
as well as to narrow the critical region for this putative tumor
suppressor, we analyzed 32 metastatic CaP specimens for AI
on chromosome 18q. Thirty-one of these 32 specimens
(96.8%) exhibited AI at one or more loci on chromosome
18q. Our analysis using 17 polymorphic markers revealed
statistically significant AI on chromosome 18q at 3 markers,
D18S35, D18S64 and D18S461. Using these markers as a
guide, we have been able to identify 2 distinct minimum
regions of AI on 18q. The first region is between the genetic
markers D18S1119 and D18S64. The second region lies more
distal on the long arm of the chromosome and is between the
genetic markers D18S848 and D18S58. To determine if 18q
loss is a late event in the progression of CaP, we also exam-
ined prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and primary
prostate tumors from 17 patients for AI with a subset of 18q
markers. We found significantly higher AI in the metastatic
samples. Our results are consistent with 18q losses occurring
late in CaP progression. Int. J. Cancer 85:654–658, 2000.

Prostate cancer (CaP) is the most common form of non-cutane-
ous malignancy in American men with an expected 179,300 new
cases in 1999 (http://www3.cancer.org/cancerinfo). It is estimated
that more than 37,200 American men will die as a result of CaP
this year (http: www3.cancer.org/cancerinfo). With the advent of
prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, more cancers are being
identified at earlier stages. However, there is currently no way to
distinguish life-threatening tumors needing definitive intervention
from those that would benefit from a "watch and wait" approach.
It is believed that like most cancers, the accumulation of genetic
lesions leads to tumor development and progression. One focus of
CaP research is to identify allelic losses as an indication of genetic
alterations in cancer-related genes such as oncogenes, tumor sup-
pressor, metastasis suppressor and DNA mismatch repair genes.
Molecular studies of CaP have identified multiple non-random
genetic alterations in tumor specimens. To date, the molecular
events leading to initiation and progression of this disease remain
unclear, in part because it is difficult to obtain appropriate samples
for analysis.
Karyotypic analyses of prostate tumors have been hindered by
the difficulty in obtaining good chromosome preparations from
tumor tissue. However, cytogenetic studies have reported losses of
the Y chromosome and deletions on chromosomes 6q, 7q, 8p, 9p,
10q, 13q, 16q, 17 and 18q, implicating these regions as sites of
putative tumor suppressor genes (Brown et al., 1994; Visakorpi et
al., 1995). In addition, a number of allelotyping analyses of human
CaPs have been performed in order to identify the probable loca-
tions of tumor suppressor genes. Although there has been some
variability in the number of markers used and the number of
tumors examined, the most frequent allelic losses in CaP involve
chromosome arms 8p, 10 (both p and q), 16q and 18q (Kunimi et
al., 1991; Gao et al., 1993; Brewster et al., 1994; Latil et al., 1994;
Crundwell et al., 1996; Cunningham et al., 1996; Ueda et al.,
1997; Jenkins et al., 1998; Saric et al., 1999).
A previous analysis of CaP specimens for loss of heterozygosity
(LOH) on chromosome 18 by Brewster et al. (1994) is interesting
because it revealed 2 non-overlapping regions of loss: one at
18q21.3 near the putative tumor suppressor gene Deleted in Colon
Cancer (DCC) and a second region at 18q22 near the genetic
marker D18S5. A PCR-based genome-wide study (Cunningham et
al., 1996) of primary CaP also implicated 2 regions of high allelic
imbalance (AI) on 18q at different markers than those reported by
Brewster et al. (1994). The first region, at marker D18S851, was
near the putative tumor suppressor gene Deleted in Pancreatic
Cancer 4 (DPC4) (Cunningham et al., 1996). The second more
distal region is flanked by markers D18S64 and D18S58. Neither
of these studies, however, has presented statistically significant
evidence for 2 loci on 18q. The results of this study implicate the
presence of at least 2 distinct putative tumor suppressor genes on
18q, both of which appear to map distal to the previously identified
tumor suppressor genes, DCC and DPC4.
Besides demonstrating that regions of chromosome 18q are lost
in CaP, some studies have also given an indication that loss of
chromosome 18q may be a late event in CaP progression (Brewster
et al., 1994; Crundwell et al., 1996; Ueda et al., 1997; Jenkins et
al., 1998; Saric et al., 1999). To further explore whether 18q loss
occurs late in the progression of CaP, we have examined 32
metastatic lesions taken from 26 patients upon autopsy (Saric et
al., 1999). Although earlier lesions from these patients were not
available, we have attempted to demonstrate the stage specificity
of this AI by comparing rates of AI at select markers on chromo-
some 18q in metastatic lesions with rates of AI seen in patients
with either prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) or primary
CaP. Our findings support the hypothesis that loss of 18q loci is a
late event in CaP progression and that regions implicated here may
be involved in the process of metastasis.
Subjects and tumor samples
Tissues used for these studies were formalin-fixed, paraffin-
embedded tissues processed by routine methods. Histological eval-
uation was performed using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained
sections. Primary CaPs with adjacent normal prostate tissue and
foci of high-grade PIN were obtained from 17 patients undergoing
radical prostatectomies at the Audie Murphy Veterans Adminis-
tration Hospital (San Antonio, Texas, USA) between 1989 and
1991 (Saric et al., 1999). Patients ranged in age from 54 to 72

years (median 64 years). Histological diagnosis and tumor grade
were determined after surgery on H&E-stained 5-?m sections. All
primary CaPs were graded using Gleason's grading system. Sev-
enteen primary prostate adenocarcinomas were of acinar type, 3
(18%) of them were well differentiated (Gleason's scores 3–4), 13
(77%) were moderately differentiated (Gleason's scores 5–7) and
1 (6%) was a poorly differentiated tumor (Gleason's score 8).
Twenty-two foci of primary CaP (1–3 per case, median 1) and 49
foci of high-grade PIN (1–9 per case, median 3) have been ana-
lyzed in this study.
Metastatic tumors and matched normal tissue samples were
obtained post mortem from 26 autopsies performed at the Audie
Murphy and Kerrville Veterans Administration Hospitals (Kerr-
ville, Texas, USA) between 1979 and 1991 (age 55–89 years,
median 71 years). In 6 autopsies, multiple metastatic samples were
collected. Metastatic tissues were obtained from a variety of tis-
sues: lymph nodes (8; 25%), peritoneum (6; 18.75%), liver (6;
18.75%), bone (4; 12.5%), adrenal gland (4; 12.5%), lung (2;
6.25%) and periprostatic tissue (1; 3.13%). The site of one meta-
static lesion was unknown.
Three serial histological sections (5 ?M) of each block were
prepared using PCR precautions to avoid contamination of sam-
ples by changing water in the water bath and wiping the microtome
blade with bleach and alcohol between blocks. The first section
was stained with H&E and areas for microdissection were marked.
The H&E-stained slide was then overlaid with the unstained slides
to mark areas for microdissection. Areas selected for microdissec-
tion contained at least 75% of nuclei from tumor cells. A small
portion of razor blade was used for microdissection and precau-
tions were taken to prevent cross-contamination, including chang-
ing the blades between samples. PIN lesions and primary CaP
tumors were dissected as previously published (Saric et al., 1999).
In brief, we required that PIN lesions be separated from other
lesions by 1 cm, or that they be in separate blocks to avoid
sampling cancerous lobules or ducts as PIN.
DNA extraction
Sections were deparaffinized using 100% N-Octane (Sigma, St.
Louis, MO), rinsed in 100% ethanol and followed by centrifuga-
tion. Cell pellets were allowed to air dry before resuspension in
50–100 ?l of cell lysis solution containing 1 mg/ml Proteinase K,
50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA and 0.45% Tween-
20. Cell lysis suspensions were incubated at 55°C overnight.
Proteinase K was inactivated by incubation at 95°C for 15 min.
DNA concentrations could not be determined because of the small
volume of DNA isolated. However, samples were diluted 1:15 in
sterile ddH2O for microsatellite marker analysis. Stock prepara-
tions and dilutions were stored at ?20°C and 4°C, respectively.
Microsatellite marker analysis
Metastatic samples were examined by PCR at 17 polymorphic
microsatellite markers specific for the long arm of chromosome 18.
These markers were spaced at approximately 5–10 cM intervals
along the long arm of chromosome 18. In each case, one primer of
each pair was end-labeled with32P-?-ATP using T4 polynucle-
otide kinase (Promega, Madison, WI). Five microliters of template
DNA were amplified in 20-?l PCR reactions. The mixture in-
cluded 100 nM of each primer, 200 mM of each dinucleotide
trisphosphate, 1 mM spermidine, MgCl2concentrations ranging
from 1.5 to 3.0 mM and 1 U Taq Gold (Perkin Elmer, Foster
City, CA).
Reactions were heated to 95°C for 16 min to denature the
template DNA and release the enzyme, then cycled at 95°C for 1
min, 52–60°C for 1 min and 72°C for 1 min for a total of 35
cycles, followed by final extension at 72°C for 7 min. DNA from
PIN lesions and primary tumors was amplified as previously
described (Saric et al., 1999). PCR products were mixed with a
denaturing dye and incubated at 95°C for 5 min. Five microliters
of each reaction were then separated by electrophoresis on 7%
acrylamide/7M Urea sequencing gels for 3–5 hr at 65 W. Dried
gels were exposed to Kodak X-OMAT AR film for 24 hr. The
relative intensity of each band was determined by quantitation of
dried gels with PhosphorImager using ImageQuant software (Mo-
lecular Dynamics, Sunnyvale, CA). An imbalance or AI ratio was
calculated as the ratio of allele intensities in the tumor relative to
the ratio of allele intensities in the accompanying normal tissue.
The cutoff value used for establishing AI was 1.5. This method for
determining AI has been validated previously by MacGrogan et al.
Statistical analyses
The AI at each locus was assessed for associations with AI at all
other loci. Two by two tables listing AI and no AI were produced
for each pair of loci. The expected number of AI events was then
calculated. A chi-square value was calculated and used if the
expected number of AI events was greater than or equal to 5 in all
4 cells (common criterion for the adequacy of the chi-square test).
If any expected value was less than 5, the exact significance level
was calculated using the Fisher's exact test. This is done by firstly
sorting all possible outcomes of the sample space, defined as the
set of all possible number of AI events in the 2 groups. Next, the
points whose likelihood ratios for the null hypothesis of equal
proportions were greatest (i.e., those outcomes least supporting the
null hypothesis) were sorted so these outcomes were at the top.
Then, with the assumption that the probability of an AI event in
both groups was the same, the probability of the points in the
sorted sample could be summed from the top of the list to the data
point. This sum was the significance level of the observed outcome
assuming the common probability of AI events.
To identify loci on chromosome 18q that may be involved in the
progression of CaP, we examined the DNA of 32 formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded CaP metastases and paired normal tissues ob-
tained post mortem. These samples were analyzed for AI at 17
genetic markers which map to the long arm of chromosome 18.
These markers were chosen based on high heterozygosity of the
markers and small product size. We found that markers with
products larger than 200 bp did not work well with our metastatic
samples because many samples could not be amplified across this
large a region. Presumably, this is due to varying levels of DNA
degradation as a result of the initial processing of the samples at
autopsy. The predicted marker order with cytogenetic locations is
provided in Table I. The percent AI seen with each marker is
illustrated in Figure 1.
Marker Location
Page 3
Samples that were heterozygous for a given marker were con-
sidered informative at that locus. Thirty-one of 32 specimens
(96.8%) exhibited AI at one or more loci on the long arm of
chromosome 18. This high level of AI supports the existence of
one or more tumor suppressor genes on 18q and indicates that our
microdissection techniques were effective in the enrichment of
tumor cells. In some samples, AI appeared to span the entire long
arm of chromosome 18 whereas other tumors exhibited more
isolated loss. Representative examples of AI are shown in Figure 2.
Statistical analyses of these AI data indicated that there is
significant AI on 18q at polymorphic loci D18S35, D18S64 and
D18S461, compared with background levels seen with the markers
D18S19 and DCC. Two of these loci, D18S35 and D18S64,
mapped between DCC and D18S19. The third locus, D18S461,
mapped distal to D18S19. This implies that 2 distinct regions of AI
lie near these markers. These regions are separated by a region of
very low AI, indicating that they may be completely independent
of one another. Based on these findings, we further evaluated the
data to identify 2 minimal regions of AI on 18q. Because not every
marker is informative in every sample, the minimum region of AI
may not necessarily fall near the markers where the highest AI was
observed. In identifying these minimal regions of AI, metastatic
tumors from different sites within the same patient were not treated
independently but were counted as a single patient sample.
The proximal minimal region of AI lies between the polymor-
phic loci D18S1119 and D18S64. Twenty-two of 26 independent
tumors exhibited AI proximal to the genetic marker, D18S19. Of
these, 10 tumor samples appear to have undergone mitotic recom-
bination with breakpoints at or near these loci (Fig. 3a). In total, 18
of 22 tumors exhibited AI that included this minimal region. The
proximal border of this region is well defined with 4 tumors (9, 12,
22, 26) that retain heterozygosity at D18S1119 and exhibit AI at

D18S64, and in some cases more distal markers. The distal border
for this region of AI is less well defined, only 2 samples (28, 31)
were heterozygous at D18S64, and exhibited AI at D18S1119.
However, there were 3 other cases (1, 13, 24) with no loss at
D18S862 and loss at D18S1119. Two of these cases (1, 24) were
uninformative at D18S64. Thus, the minimal region of AI appears
to be proximal to D18S64. The estimated size of this minimal
region of AI at 18q21 is approximately 7 cM according to mapping
data from the Whitehead Institute Center for Genome Research
(WICGR) (http://carbon.wi.mit.edu).
The distal minimal region of AI in these samples is between the
genetic markers D18S848 and D18S58 (Fig. 3b). Figure 3b illus-
trates the genotypes of 11 metastatic tumors with apparent break-
points at or near these loci. Twenty-one of the 26 independent
metastatic tumors showed AI distal to D18S19. Eighteen of these
21 metastatic tumors exhibited AI between D18S848 and D18S58,
which is proximal to the statistically significant AI observed at
marker D18S461. This region is relatively well defined on both its
proximal and distal borders. On the proximal end, 4 independent
tumors (9, 10, 15, 17) retain both alleles at D18S848 but exhibit AI
at more distal markers on the chromosome. This would support the
idea that the minimal region of AI should be distal to D18S848. At
the distal border, D18S58, four tumors (13, 14, 25, 31) retained
heterozygosity at D18S58, yet showed AI at D18S848. According
to mapping data from the WICGR, the estimated size of the distal
minimal region of AI is 6 cM.
These 2 regions appear to be independent of one another as
evidenced by AI of only one or the other region with retention of
heterozygosity of the second region (data not shown). Samples 2,
12, 18, 22 and 23 exhibit AI in the more proximal region but
remain heterozygous at the more distal regions. In contrast, spec-
imens 4, 20, 21 and 32 retain heterozygosity in the more proximal
region while undergoing AI at the more distal region.
To investigate whether AI on 18q was a metastasis-associated
event, we also examined PIN and primary CaP tumors for AI using
markers D18S35, D18S64, D18S19 and D18S461. With the ex-
ception of D18S19, these are the markers exhibiting statistically
significant AI in the metastatic tumor samples. D18S19 maps
between the 2 regions of interest and is the marker with the lowest
level of AI seen in these samples. These results are summarized in
Figure 4. At genetic markers D18S35, D18S64 and D18S461,
there was a statistically significant increase in the rate of AI in
metastases compared with PIN and primary tumors. However, at
D18S19, no difference was detected between rates of AI in early
lesions vs. metastases. Both PIN and primary tumors exhibited low
levels of 18q loss.
There is currently no way to distinguish between CaP tumors
that are likely to metastasize and are a significant health risk and
those that warrant a more conservative treatment approach because
they are less likely to progress. Our understanding of CaP pro-
gression remains limited, in part, because appropriate tissue sam-
ples have been unavailable for analysis. This is in part due to the
way CaP is treated. Patients with more advanced disease are rarely
candidates for prostatectomy. Therefore, samples of these ad-
vanced tumors are seldom available for analysis. As a result, most
genetic studies of CaP have been limited to examining primary
tumors of unknown outcome that were localized to the prostate.
Studies of CaP progression have been limited by the availability of
later stage lesions, such as metastatic CaP tissues. Here, we report
on our results examining lesions on chromosome 18q in metastatic
CaP specimens, a rare resource. We examined 32 metastases from
26 patients for AI on the long arm of chromosome 18, using
polymorphic markers that were spaced approximately 5–10 cM
Initially, most studies of chromosome 18q in CaP were re-
stricted by the use of a few RFLP markers. Rates of LOH or AI on
18q in CaP in these studies ranged from 10% to 45% (Gao et al.,
1993; Brewster et al., 1994; Latil et al., 1994; Crundwell et al.,
1996; Cunningham et al., 1996; Ueda et al., 1997; MacGrogan et
al., 1997; Jenkins et al., 1998). In our study, AI at at least one
marker on 18q was found in 31 of 32 specimens (96.8%), a much
higher rate of allelic loss than seen in previous studies. The reasons
for this are 2-fold. Firstly, because work by others had indicated
that loss of 18q loci might be a late event in CaP progression, we
chose to focus on metastatic lesions. Most other studies have
looked primarily at CaPs that were not as advanced as those in our
subset or tumors from patients of unknown outcome. Secondly, we
examined this set of metastatic tumors at more 18q loci than most
of the other studies, which used a limited number of markers
concentrating on or near the DCC gene.
The focus of our work has been a detailed AI analysis of 18q in
metastatic tumors. None of the markers we tested exhibited AI in
100% of the specimens; however, 2 distinct minimal regions of AI
were identified. Overall, these data are consistent with previous
findings indicating the existence of 2 distinct regions of elevated
AI on 18q and provide strong evidence for this scenario in CaP
(Brewster et al., 1994; Cunningham et al., 1996).
There are 2 putative tumor suppressor genes that map to 18q,
DCC and DPC4. DCC was originally identified based on frequent
loss of one allele in colorectal cancer (Fearon et al., 1990). One
function of DCC has recently been elucidated in experiments
involving knock-out animal models (Kolodziej et al., 1996). It is
involved in the migration of developing axons (Kolodziej et al.,
1996). A second tumor suppressor gene, DPC4, is proximal to
DCC at 18q21.1. DPC4 is homozygously deleted in 30% of
pancreatic cancers and is frequently mutated in pancreatic tumors
(Hahn et al., 1996). Few mutations of DPC4 have been identified
in cancers that are not of gastrointestinal origin (Schutte et al.,
1996). Data from other investigators support the exclusion of
DPC4 as a candidate tumor suppressor gene in CaP. To date, no
mutations of the DPC4 gene have been detected in CaP specimens
of any stage (MacGrogan et al., 1997; Ueda et al., 1997). The DCC
gene has also been examined for mutations. To date, few, if any,
have been detected in CaP specimens (Gao et al., 1993).
In our own study, statistically significant AI was not seen with
a marker intragenic for DCC nor with markers that flank the DPC4
gene, indicating that they do not appear to play a role in CaP.
However, we cannot rule out that a tumor suppressor gene may
exist in this region that plays a role in CaP as it has been implicated
by another group (Ueda et al., 1997). Our data imply that a tumor

icantly higher than in early lesions, PIN and primary CaP, respectively,
at D18S35 (p ? 0.0071), D18S64 (p ? 0.001; p ? 0.004), and
D18S461 (p ? 0.0001; p ? 0.007).

suppressor gene lies distal to DPC4 and DCC in the interval
between D18S1119 and D18S64, where 18 of 26 independent
tumors exhibited AI. To date, there are no putative tumor suppres-
sor genes mapped to this interval. Our region of loss is consistent
with data presented by others identifying a commonly deleted
region between the centromere to D18S19 (Latil et al., 1994).
The second minimal region of AI implicated here maps more
distal on 18q at 18q22-q23 between the genetic markers D18S848
and D18S58. At present, no previously isolated tumor suppressor
gene maps to this interval. Our data indicating AI in this region are
also consistent with the findings of others (Brewster et al., 1994;
Cunningham et al., 1996). Brewster et al. (1994) demonstrated that
the most commonly deleted region on 18q in CaP was at 18q22-
q23, distal to DCC. They reported one tumor with isolated loss at
18q23 and retention of heterozygosity at DCC and more proximal
loci, indicating that these loci may be independent of one another.
Other groups have presented data confirming loss of 18q loci in
this area in CaP specimens (Kunimi et al., 1991; Latil et al., 1994;
Cunningham et al., 1996), although no common regions of dele-
tion were identified. Furthermore, our data agree with studies by
others of 18q loss in other cancers. A tumor suppressor gene
mapped to this region has the potential to play a role in a number
of different tumor types. AI or LOH at markers in this region has
also been implicated in the progression of head and neck cancers
(Pearlstein et al., 1998), cohesive gastric cancer (Inoue et al.,
1998) and breast cancer (Huang et al., 1995).
To determine if 18q loss is a late event in CaP progression, we
examined 4 of these markers, D18S35, D18S64, D18S19 and
D18S461, in samples from PIN and primary prostatic tumors. Our
results support the previous reports that loss of 18q loci is a late
event (Brewster et al., 1994; Crundwell et al., 1996; MacGrogan et
al., 1997; Ueda et al., 1997; Jenkins et al., 1998; Saric et al.,
1999). This also appears to be the case for a number of other
cancers such as gastric cancer (Inoue et al., 1998), head and neck
cancer (Pearlstein et al., 1998), breast cancer (Huang et al., 1995)
and ovarian cancer (Chenevix-Trench et al., 1992). This could
prove to be extremely useful information as it may be utilized as
a biomarker for the progression of this deadly disease.
In summary, our findings refine the regions on the long arm of
chromosome 18 that may harbor tumor suppressor genes. They
support the notion that there may be 2 tumor suppressor genes on
the long arm of chromosome 18 that play a role in the progression
of CaP. However, these genes remain to be identified. Continued
precise mapping of the deletions of 18q in CaP is needed to narrow
the regions and to ultimately isolate these genes. Our results also
support the notion that the loss of these loci may result in an
increase in metastatic potential, because we have shown that there
are significant differences between the rates of AI on 18q in early
vs. late CaP specimens.

The explosive decompilation of the Split Infinite, cosmic string and neutron star combined, has to have had a locally catastrophic effect on nearby planetary systems. How close it it to the Agni Cluster? The class-M and otherwise colonizable worlds may not be habitable, at least not without the Corps of Engineers building planetary shields or something like that.
It's at pretty much a safe distance - that's why Geordi had to go wait at Wexx for Challenger. I didn't really think of a need to give a specific distance, but just didn't want to be laying waste to large amounts of Federation space so soon after Destiny - but space is big, so it's only close to anything in relative terms.
The description of then-Director Vellin's assassination attempt against Sela, with the
being hijacked and propelled at accelerating speed towards a pulsar just in Federation space, reminded me a lot of the description of the
incident seven decades earlier.
The biggest difference is that whereas the
collided with an asteroid,
would have collide with a neutron star. If
wiped out outposts for light-years round, what would the collision of
singularity (and the rest of the ship, too) at many multiples of the speed of light with a neutron star have done? Maybe the area was scoured by the Borg, maybe not, but the resulting destruction could surely serve as a casus belli on the Federation's part, notwithstanding its origin in Romulan politics.
Director Vellin was an associate of Rehaek, right, who was interested in having a manipulablke war-hawk Durjik restrained by a conservative Senate and the new Typhon Pact, right? (Working from memory, here.)
Right. That was quite a late addition, taking into account the Romulan situation after RBOE. As for the damage such a crash would do, I'm thinking it would have been more an implosion, what with the forced quantum singularity going.
This is maybe stuff worth querying in the Trek tech section, mind you.
I really, really,
hope that the trans-slipstream technology introduced here won't be an object of serious research. Ordinary slipstream orks for me, barely, inasmuch as it seems limited by the availability of raw materials and is used so far to maintain contaqct between known points within the Galaxy. Trans-slipstream? It collapses
in at least the Local Group into an indistinguishable mass. Keep trans-slipstream something glimpsed at an extreme distance and otherwise indecipherable, please.
No, that'll be left alone. I think it's sufficiently explicit in the text that it's a natural ability that can't be harnessed by technology, and that the characters finally realise that. I'm totally with you on that whole subject.
Guinan said that the toroidal space might have been created as a weapon, or created as a by-product of a weapon, in the Q's civil war. It may well have been. The Q, though, can't be the only super-advanced civilization out there. It's a big universe ...
True. Glad you liked it!

How Long Do You Broil Steak Tips
How long do you broil steak tips.
How long do you broil steak tips
Steak is one of those meats that commands careful attention as everyone enjoys it cooked to a different degree. Broiling is one of the best methods for steak because you remain in control so follow these tips and you will be able to cook the perfect steak.
Choose the right grade – USDA Choice is what you should be looking for. Make sure the meat is firm to touch, bright in colour and moist. There should be a good distribution but not overloading of fat marbling. Next choose the right cut. The sirloin is the most tender and juicy but cuts as porterhouse, t-bone, rib eye, Delmonico and filet mignons all produce great steaks if cooked properly. Boned steaks are said to have more taste and on all cuts, ageing can enhance flavour.
Marinating any meat will enhance juiciness and tenderness and add specific flavour if desired. Choose your marinade then leave your steak in it overnight (cover it or put it in a sealed bag/box) in the refrigerator.
There are two kinds of broiling – oven broiling and pan broiling. Oven is obviously inside the oven which is set to broil temperatures. Pan broiling is stovetop cooking with high, dry heat. Oven broiling is better for less tender cuts but never cook steak in liquid. For a pan broil you should use a griddle or a heavy skillet.
Start by searing your steak on both sides. Searing is using very high heat to caramelize the sugars and brown the proteins which is all about color and flavor and not trapping the juices which is a cooking myth. After searing put your steak in to oven broil or turn the heat down under the pan and cook for the required length of time.
Here's a rough guideline for a 1 inch thick steak:
Rare – 7 minutes
Medium – 9 minutes
Well done – 14 minutes.
Turn steak over at the halfway point. (Do not turn more than once). Check by using the press test. A well done steak should feel the same as when you press the flesh directly under your thumb joint on your splayed hand, a rare steak like the feel of flesh midway into your hand from the thumb joint and a medium should release to the same pressure as midway between the other two points.
Once cooked, tuck in and enjoy!

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Anthony RhoadsThis year, three former local high school players are working their way up through the Minor Leagues. This season Stockbridge's Kyle Davies is with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, Atlanta's Advanced single-A affiliate; Eagle's Landing's Matt Murton is with the Sarasota Red Sox, Boston's single-A affiliate and Jonesboro's Jason Perry is with the Midland RockHounds, Oakland's double-A affiliate. As of Friday, Davies was 3-2 with a 3.40 ERA in eight starts. He ranks fifth in the Carolina League in strikeouts with 46 and he's allowed just 17 walks. In his last start Thursday, he struck out eight while allowing one walk and four hits an seven innings of work as Myrtle Beach beat Wilmington 2-1. Last year was with the Rome Braves and went 8-8. He posted a 2.89 ERA and was among South Atlantic League leaders in strikeouts with 148. Davies graduated from Stockbridge in 2001 and was an early signee to Georgia Tech but in the summer of 2001, the Atlanta Braves drafted him in the fourth round of the Major League first-year amateur draft. Davies was 21-3 in his junior and senior seasons at Stockbridge High School and helped lead the Tigers to the quarterfinals of the Class AAAAA state tournament. Murton leads the Sarasota Red Sox in home runs with seven. He's compiled 21 RBIs and is batting .280. n Murton, who played at Georgia Tech from 2001-03, was drafted by the Boston Red Sox last year. Murton was part of the Yellow Jackets team that went to the NCAA College World Series in 2002. At Eagle's Landing High School, Murton holds most of the team's batting records. In his senior season, he batted .551 with 11 home runs and 41 RBIs. n Perry also played at Georgia Tech and was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2002. Mid-way through last year, he was traded to the Oakland A's. Perry has seen limited action this year in Midland. In 22 games, he's batted .188. At Jonesboro High School, Perry was the runner-up for the Class AAA state player of the year and was all-state as a senior. In his junior season, he batted. .493 with 11 home runs and 48 RBIs. As a senior, he batted .443 with nine home runs and 43 RBIs. Columbus State advances to Division II quarterfinals: The Columbus State Cougars will play in the NCAA Division II final eight this weekend in Montgomery, Ala. Columbus State opens play Sunday against Kutztown at 1 p.m.Columbus State has two former Henry County High School players on its roster. Clif Harrison is in his junior year after transferring from Middle Georgia College. Harrison is third on the team in batting with a .352 average. He's hit three home runs with 16 RBIs. In 2002, he was on the Middle Georgia team that went to the National Junior College Athletic Association World Series. Lane Hammond is in his freshman season but was injured when he was hit in the face with a pitch. In nine games, he batted .267. His brother Ladd, a former Henry County High School standout, also played at Columbus State and was on the 2002 team that won the Division II national championship.

Then again, it's rare to see a properly executed uchimata. It's a weird throw with so many variations that it's a little more difficult to classify than most throws.
11/22/2005 3:29am, #55--
My 2 cents
You can throw Uchi Mata predominantly with the hip - and it belongs to the Koshi Waza.
Or you throw it predominantly with the legs, it belongs to the ashi waza.
Some people differentiate it by calling the second version " Ashi-Uchi Mata"
