Health Watch: Cancer - Are We Any Further On?
Byline: SANDRA CHAPMAN
Few illnesses spread as much fear as cancer. In Northern Ireland it is the second most frequent cause of death after circulatory disease. Men here have a one in six chance and women a one in eight chance of dying from it before the age of 75 years. More than two years into the new Millennium are we any further forward in making inroads into this disease?
Every year in European Union countries alone, more than 1.5 million new cancers are diagnosed with about 750,000 deaths.
Experts believe that efforts to combat cancer will only be successful if there is a sustained campaign against the risk factors which cause cancer by increasing the uptake of screening programmes, improving the quality of treatment and care services and by ongoing research.
According to the Health Promotion Agency, in Northern Ireland the Department of Healths approach to the problem is to support the Europe Against Cancer programme with its main emphasis on prevention.
The belief is that we can all take steps to prevent or lower the risk of cancer.
The most important one is not to smoke; others include keeping weight within a healthy range, and eating a diet low in fat and high in fruit and vegetables, reducing alcohol consumption and avoiding excessive exposure to the sun.
The Department of Health, recognising that policies needed to be developed to cover prevention, early detection, effective investigation, treatment and palliative care, put together the Investing for Health report which was published last March.
This report seeks also to shift the emphasis from treatment to prevention by addressing the wider determinants of good health. It also aims to reduce health inequalities and has identified tackling smoking as a priority.
An earlier report in 1996 worked on the basis that the quality of cancer care could be significantly improved by encompassing cancer centres, cancer units and referral from primary care. It recommended one regional centre to be established which would also provide services for local catchment populations and the setting up of four additional cancer units at Altnagelvin, Antrim, and Craigavon hospitals with Belfast City/Royal Hospitals acting as a cancer unit and cancer centre.
Northern Ireland also co-operates with other medical experts in Southern Ireland and in the United States through an historic agreement signed in 1999.
Research into the disease is funded by an estimated 250 charities (the two main ones in NI are Ulster Cancer Foundation and Action Cancer), numerous government bodies and the pharmaceutical industry. Northern Ireland is also party to the National Cancer Research Institute which provides a focus for all aspects of UK cancer research.
Cancer research in the UK has an annual spend of pounds 257m. yet prevention of the disease is given only 2 per cent of the funds.
In Ulster 13 research projects are underway.
All cancers have a genetic basis. Damage to our genes with increasing age through the environment, sunlight, radiation (natural and through x-rays), dietary toxins and degenerative ageing changes within the cells in the body all damage DNA.
This is why the biggest risk factor for cancer is increasing age as mutations or genetic changes to DNA accumulate steadily as we get older.
By 2020 almost 50 per cent of the population will develop cancer in old age, as health professionals will have reduced mortality from other sources such as heart disease and stroke.
Most of these cancers, however, occur in older age due to the factors mentioned above, rather than being heritable.
Early onset cancers are often hereditary, ie caused by genes which are inherited from one or other parent. Around 5 per cent of cancers, such as breast and bowel, are now recognised to be familial.
Over the last few years cancer genetics has arisen as a new sub-discipline of clinical genetics. …

Michael Jordan turned 50 on Sunday, giving this year's All-Stars a chance to reflect on his illustrious career and how much he still means to the sport.
In a weekend filled with the NBA's greatest players, Jordan was the topic no one could stop talking about. Though he hasn't played since the 2002-03 season, Jordan's influence still permeates the league and its players.
"Every kid that wanted to play basketball, that could play, that couldn't play, you tried to emulate Michael Jordan," Heat star Dwyane Wade said. "That's why there will never be another one of him. He's the first of his kind. Everything he did was groundbreaking. He did it with so much flare and so much pizazz that even today people are still trying to be like Mike."
Jordan won six titles and five MVP awards during a career spent mostly with the Bulls that began in 1984.
Jordan was in Houston this weekend, and celebrated his birthday early with a private bash on Friday at the Museum of Fine Arts with guests including LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.
Lakers center Dwight Howard is so impressed with Jordan that he said he's like a real version of Superman.
"Be Like Mike" was more than a marketing campaign. It was a dream for many of today's players.
"He's amazing," Howard said. "He's one of the reasons why we played basketball. He inspired us to do great things. I hear his voice sometimes on commercials, it makes you want to get out there and try to do something."
Jordan retired twice before finally leaving the game for good at age 39. Some people wondered this weekend if he could still play in the NBA, despite reaching the age where he qualifies for an AARP card.
Wade believes this day will be a time for Jordan to reflect on his storied career and appreciate his family and health.
"Kind of look back at all the things he did, so many years ago in the NBA that still lives on today," Wade said. "What he's been able to do to stay this relevant, in this role, the way he has, is phenomenal."
Clippers talking trade?
The Los Angeles Clippers may be interested in trading backup point guard Eric Bledsoe to the Utah Jazz for power forward Paul Millsap.
The teams are mutually interested in discussing the proposed deal as Thursday's deadline approaches, sources with knowledge of the Clippers' thinking told ESPN.com late Saturday night.
However, two other sources told ESPN.com that the Clippers do not want to trade Bledsoe and would probably stand pat.
Around the association
Commissioner David Stern believes that Sacramento has a chance to keep the Kings but that is ultimately up to the team's owners. The Maloof family has an agreement in place to sell the Kings to a group that will move the team to Seattle and rename it. Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, however, has said a counteroffer to keep the team in Sacramento is being put together.
• Rockets owner Leslie Alexander plans to re-sign General Manager Daryl Morey, the Houston Chronicle reported. Morey's contract expires after next year.

nice body !!!!
Too Horny-Sexy for my cock.
definitely a hot stud!
nice, sexy men
so fuckin hot - that big beautiful stud dick, that hairy defined muscled body, that hot masculine sensuous bearded face w/that awesome smile, that hot fuckin voice....and that sweet hot cum that i long to taste, to savor , to swallow...thanks
unlike storm5x.............jxmuscledude, you could stand there reading a fortune cookie and still make me paint like a freaking puppy!
Big fan here but found this video disappointing. The first 50 seconds were exciting and the last 10 seconds were the best parts. The other 11 minutes in between were the same as every other video: far too close to the camera to really admire that body of work and hiding that beautiful dick with your hand for 11 minutes. Thanks for sharing. Still a big fan but would really like to see you in more non-masturbation scenes... like just trundeling around the house or taking a shower or something casual.
would love to cam with you...message me...will give you my Skype info...
hope to see more bicep flexing
dude lets cam....message me and ill send you my user name
More More More!!!!!

Home with the dreaded swine flu (at least it seems like it) so good chance to sit on the web all day.
This is my first toy
Built to Levin GT spec with various engine and suspension upgrades. Nothing bodged, all factory, especially the wiring. Nothing radical, I like things to be as factory as possible, with modifications within period, if you know what I mean. At the moment is at the end of a slow rebuild, and really only needs the rear calipers rebuilt and the guards put back on.
Number two is a KE25 shell
Shot with DSC-W35 at 2009-06-15
Currently looks like this! Was to be my next project and I have been sourcing all the various bits to turn it into a 3TG TE27, again with everything factory. Main task recently has been roofing over the storage area. We never got TE2x's in Australia, so everything has to sourced from overseas.
Shot with hp PhotoSmart 320 at 2009-06-15
This is what is under the cover. The shell is very good with minimal rust in the usual battery area only.
However everything has been tossed up in the air as I recently acquired this, which will become my first priority once the AE86 gets out of the garage.:
Was a great surprise when this became available, and I have always wanted one after helping a mate who used to race one with a 4AGE. After extending my roof over it, plans for it include some fairly minor rust repair (mainly surface rust) and an engine rebuild. Had been laid up for a few years before it resurfaced. This car is well documented in this viewtopic.php?t=4627 thread.
One other slight possibility is that I have located another one owner KE25 2 speed auto nearby owned by an elderly lady that has always been garaged etc and is immaculate. She doesn't want to sell it yet, but by the time I am ready to do the TE27, it may have fallen into my clutches! Anyway, time will tell.
Why my love affair with Corolla's? This is me, many years ago.

President Barack Obama's administration lied to the public. They had no interest in speaking to the truth of the events that lead to Ambassador Chris Stevens death in Benghazi. Their actions bend towards criminal complicity.

Top Republicans back Obama's plan to fight Islamic State
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Republican leader of the U.S. House of Representatives voiced support on Thursday for President Barack Obama's expanded campaign against Islamic State militants, but members of his party questioned whether the plan was forceful enough.
Obama sent a panel of top administration officials to make the case to Congress for broadening operations against the Sunni militants, including U.S. air strikes in Syria for the first time, more strikes in Iraq and more military advisers in Iraq.
Lawmakers back Obama's fight against Islamic State, but vote uncertain
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. lawmakers pledged support on Thursday for President Barack Obama's plan to expand the military fight against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, but fears of an open-ended conflict and questions about how to pay for it could complicate any vote on the effort.
Obama sent a panel of top administration officials to the Capitol to make the case to the U.S. Congress for broadening operations against the group, including U.S. air strikes in Syria for the first time and more military advisers in Iraq.
U.S. lawmakers embrace fight against Islamic State, some question Obama plan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. lawmakers say they are on the verge of taking a "war vote" as they consider whether to back President Barack Obama's campaign to destroy Islamic State, and despite broad support for action many fear being drawn into a quagmire.
The White House wants Congress to approve $500 million to train and arm moderate Syrian rebels to battle Islamic State militants, a show of confidence for administration officials as they try to form an international coalition.
U.S. House formally condemns Obama for Guantanamo prisoner swap
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to condemn President Barack Obama for failing to give Congress a 30-day notice before exchanging prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl for five members of the Taliban who were being held at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The House voted 249 to 163, with 22 Democrats joining the Republican majority in favor of the resolution.
Release of U.S. Senate CIA 'torture' report still on hold
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The public release of a long-awaited U.S. Senate report detailing the CIA's use of harsh interrogation techniques could be held up for weeks as the Senate Intelligence Committee and Obama administration negotiate what material can be included in the document, the committee's chairwoman said on Monday.
The committee had hoped to release its 600-page summary of the report on the Central Intelligence Agency's use of tactics many label as "torture" before Congress left for its August recess, a target that was pushed to September as discussions continued.
U.S. Congress seen approving funds if needed for Islamic State campaign
WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama
is expected to pursue a military campaign against Islamic State
without seeking special congressional authority now but
lawmakers said on Monday they would probably approve any request
he made for extra funding.
They said there was widespread support in Congress for
attacks to stop the advance of the Sunni Islamist militant
group, especially after the videotaped beheading of two American
journalists by the Islamist group in the last three weeks.
Senator seeks to strip U.S. citizenship from Islamic State recruits
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. senator said Friday that Americans who join, support or fight with Islamic State should lose their U.S. citizenship, and said he would introduce legislation to bar anyone who does so from returning to the country.
Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican and conservative firebrand who is seen as a likely 2016 presidential contender,- said he would introduce his "Expatriate Terrorist Act" on Monday, the first day Congress is back from its five-week August recess.
Top Senate Republican: Obama needs 'credible plan' on Islamic State
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The top Senate Republican said on Thursday President Barack Obama can expect bipartisan support in Congress if he offers a "credible plan" to go after Islamic State militants, as senior U.S. officials prepare to brief lawmakers on the matter.
Some lawmakers contend that Obama should seek congressional authorization for airstrikes in Iraq against the Sunni militants. However, it is not clear whether such a vote would take place this month or whether he needs Congress to approve the limited actions already under way.
Obama administration sets briefings for Congress on Islamic State
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama's administration is dispatching senior intelligence officials and Secretary of State John Kerry to brief members of Congress and staff about the Islamic State militant group in the coming weeks, congressional aides said on Thursday.
Kerry will testify to members of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee during the week of Sept. 15, an aide said.
Obama faces a tough sell in Congress for Islamic State strategy
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama has pledged to consult Congress about any expanded military action against Islamic State militants operating in Iraq and Syria, but support from the divided legislature is unlikely to come quickly – if at all.
Republicans are generally reluctant to vote for Obama's policy initiatives. And many of the president's fellow Democrats are deeply wary of any more foreign military involvement after over a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bolivian Army Cliffhanger
This is when a season ends with a cliffhanger that could have killed any number of the cast. Useful because executives can then negotiate contracts with the cliffhanger in mind; i.e., "Take a pay cut or we will kill you off". Compare Bolivian Army Ending (for the end of an entire work), Uncertain Doom (which occurs in the middle of a work or installment), and Our Hero Is Dead. If characters are revealed to have escaped from the fatal event after being shown or suggested to have been caught right in the middle of it (i.e. A bomb demolishing a building before anyone could get out), that's a Cliffhanger Copout.

Anime and Manga
- Code Geass the first season ends with two characters in a tense showdown and two gunshots, but doesn't show us who gets shot. And there's a massive battle to end all battles going on elsewhere. We only find out what happens in the next season, and even then, only halfway through the second season premiere.
- Veritas, scheduled to have a second part to the story, ends with the lead starting a fight with Vera, the closest thing the series has to a Big Bad, having just awoken Yuri, the closest thing the series has to a Sealed Evil in a Can in order to get the Eleventh Hour Superpower he needs to fight the first one. The last time he fought anyone he was not yet ready to fight Vera.
- A Song of Ice and Fire has several. As the story is told from the POV of several characters, even one book can have multiple Bolivian Army Cliffhangers. From previous experience, these characters tend to survive.
- A Clash of Kings: Davos (suffers a shipwreck).
- A Feast for Crows: Arya (becomes blind) and Brienne (gets hanged).
- A Dance with Dragons: Jaime (meets Brienne, who probably wants to kill him), Daenerys (meets a Dothraki army) and especially Jon (stabbed).
- Daenerys' example is notable because it's effectively a Bolivian Army Cliffhanger for both sides. Dany has a ferocious, Nigh Invulnerable fire-breathing dragon on her side, after all.
- The Princess Bride ends with the four main characters off their horses and surrounded by Humperdinck's army, resolved in the unfinished sequel.
Live Action TV
- Skins Series 1 ends with Tony being hit by a bus then the entire cast(including Tony) bursts into singing Cat Stevens' Wild World. Series 4 even went further than that and ended with Cook desperately rushing at the John Foster to avenge Freddie's death.
- Robin Hood Series 3 ends with Nottingham Castle being blown up and Gisbourne, Isabella and Sheriff Vaisey all apparently dead too. (It's somewhat invalid considering the show was cancelled).
- CSI: NY Season 5 ends with a machine gun opening fire on the entire regular cast, who were gathered in a bar to remember a colleague who'd been killed. The next season reveals that Danny has lost the use of his legs and the shooters attacked the bar at random.
- Season six ends with Danny at the mercy of a Serial Killer (who had just hours before experienced a Disney Villain Death and they hadn't found the body yet) who's holding his daughter hostage. The screen goes black, then there's a gunshot. Fired by Lindsey, as revealed at the begining of the new season.
- One season of Dynasty ended with a terrorist attack on a wedding... long story... and everyone apparently dead. The first episode of the next season was one of the highest rated episodes in that show's history. The resolution was that a couple of extras got killed.
- Lost season 5 ended with a hydrogen bomb potentially detonating in proximity to at least eight of the main characters.
- Of course, they have a better chance of surviving if it did detonate than the alternative. Really.
- Both Homicide: Life on the Street and NCIS ended seasons with the entire cast getting reassigned. Less fatal than the other situations, but the same effect of being able to write out any character they want.
- Another season of NCIS ended with a car bomb going off right outside their base with everyone except Vance, Ducky, and Palmer inside, with Ducky having a heart attack when he hears the news. Apart from McGee getting hit with some glass, none of the main cast was hurt, and both he and Ducky recovered.
- The final episode of Blake's 7 ended with all the heroes (and we mean ALL the heroes, even ones that had been Put on a Bus in previous seasons) in assorted, apparently inescapable imminent death situations. The intention was that anyone who wanted in on the next season would be revealed to have survived, but at that point the show got cancelled.
- The second season ended with the crew launching a seemingly suicidal Delaying Action against an alien fleet. Two characters were written out: Blake and Jenna. The former returned for the next two finales, dying in the last episode. The latter was killed off-screen.
- In the Army Wives Season 1 final episode, the title characters were inside a bar when a man walked in and detonated a bomb he had strapped to him.
- Just about every season ending from the later years of ER. Early seasons usually ended with some sense of closure (e.g. Carter's graduation). But then: Season 8 has four of the regulars locked inside during an apparent breakout of smallpox; 9 leaves Luka's fate unknown; 10 has the shootout while Chen and Pratt are in the car with Elgin; 12 has another shooting, this time inside the hospital; 13 has the stampede and 14 the explosion.
- Stargate Atlantis Season 1 ending.
- Stargate Universe Also season 1 ending.
- Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Best of Both Worlds Part 1" ended this way, with the Enterprise's Wave Motion Gun aimed at Picard and the cube that assimilated him. This coincided nicely with rumours that Patrick Stewart might be quitting, making for a very tense summer.
- Andromeda had a season end with two characters captured by Magog, the android impaled, the captain and first officer knocked out, and the ship having taken a miniature black hole through it. Season 4's finale was even nastier, leaving everyone but Dylan dead or about to die. (They didn't.)
- The ending of Charmed season 3 could have killed off Prue and Piper, and actually was used to kill off Prue.
- The finale for Season 1 of CBS's Jericho ended with a cut to black as a firefight began involving most of the major characters. This may have contributed to the uproar in response to the cancellation of the series at the end of season 1, as many of the devoted fans did not know the fate of their favorite characters.
- Criminal Minds did this in its third season finale, showing several identical black SUVs, each a destination for a pair of major characters. The episode ends with one of the SUVs, not specifically identified, exploding. Season 4's opener, however, reveals that the only casualty was the single minor character among the possible victims. Although the producers at least tried to keep the mystery alive by doing nothing to debunk (and possibly even starting) rumours that Shemar Moore or Paget Brewster was leaving the show.
- Don't forget the ending of Season Four, which has Hotch at gunpoint from the Boston Reaper (George Foyet). Foyet says "You should have made a deal" then a gunshot is heard and fades to black. At the start of Season Five, it is revealed the Reaper shoots past Hotch's head to intimidate or scare him. It doesn't work. Then they struggle and Hotch gets non-fatally stabbed multiple times by Foyet, who mirrors his own wounds he self-inflicted to draw attention away from himself in the original case.
- Season six also did in a less-fatal manner. Hotch's announcement that they would all given the opportunity to transfer to another division provided the writers with an easy way to right out any character they wanted. Probably a result of the statuses of three cast members as series regulars the following season still being up for grabs at the time the episode was written.
- In The Guardian's second season cliffhanger, James is brutally shot by a client and left to die. The resolution is a nasty fakeout: Nick sees the client leave and realizes something's up, but he's too late to help James.
- Grey's Anatomy season 5 ended with both Izzy and George flatlining. Izzy survived, George didn't.
- Season 8 ended with Meredith, Christina, Mark, Lexie, Arizona, Derek in a plane crash. Averted with Lexie, who died in that episode. In the next season, Mark was in a coma, and eventually died.
- In season 9, the end of the finale has Richard passed out in the dark.
- Made In Canada plays it straight at the end of season 2, and casually dumps the lame survival excuses at the beginning of the next season.
- The unresolved Season 2/series finale of Dark Angel, which may be considered an unintentional Bolivian Army Ending.
- Desperate Housewives has done this with the last three November sweeps. In 2007 a tornado hit the street and the episode ended with Lynette screaming narmily while the camer pulled back and showed a devastated street. In 2008 everyone just happened to be at the same bar when it burned down and in 2009 everyone just happened to be in the same yard when an airplane fell out of the sky. The show's executives always try to get some hype going by saying that, yes, for sure, someone you care about has died. And it always ends up being a minor charactor.
- The West Wing at the end of season 1, had gunfire opened on the regular cast and a crowd, with the last lines being "Who's been hit? Who's been hit?".
- Smallville has season three ending with Clark being up and away, his father in a coma, Lana off to Paris, Chloe apparently blown up, Lionel knifed and Lex poisoned.
- Actually, pretty much every season of Smallville has this: The first series ends with Clark and Lana sucked up into a tornado, Lex and Lionel in a collapsing building, Jonathan running out into a storm and Martha menaced by a floating spaceship. By the time of the fifth series cliffhanger (Clark trapped in the Phantom Zone, Lex possessed by Zod and making out with an oblivious Lana, Martha and Lois trapped on a crashing plane and Chloe and Lionel being attacked by a mob that just springs up out of nowhere because there's been a power cut), it was starting to get a bit silly.
- The season eight finale of CSI: Miami ended with many people in the lab and the entire main cast (minus Eric, Horatio, and Det. Tripp) collapsing to the floor, most likely from either a poison or a biochemical agent (implied by the episode to be bubonic plague, but the episode's depiction of it is You Fail Bacteriology Forever). Before the screen went black, Eric ran up to Calleigh and begged her to breathe, implying that whatever knocked them out is quite likely fatal.
- According to Emily Procter herself in an interview in TV Guide, one of them is going to be dead by next season, but they won't know who until the season starts filming. The doomed member is Sixth Ranger Jesse due to a head injury and the "plague" turned out to be gas.
- Saturday Night Live once parodied this at the end of the 11th season. The whole cast was trapped in a burning building to explain away any potential cast changes the next year.note
- The finale to the first series of Psychoville had the majority of the main cast gathered in an abandoned mental hospital by the villain, who too was there, and strapped with explosives. Cue massive explosion... which the viewers see occur from outside. We are left to theorize who, if anyone, survived.
- The first series of BBC's Sherlock ends with Sherlock pointing a gun at a bomb, threatening to explode himself, John Watson, and Moriarty.
- Supernatural is fond of these:
- Season 1 Finale: John and the boys have just been in a nasty car accident. We see them in the destroyed car, but don't know if they are alive or dead until the season 2 premiere.
- Season 3 Finale: Dean is killed by hellhounds, and his soul is sent to Hell, leaving his future uncertain. Overlaps with Downer Ending.
- Season 4 Finale: Castiel is facing off an archangel, said to be one of the most powerful entities in existence, and Sam and Dean are faced with Lucifer rising from his cage.
- Season 6 Finale: Castiel gives the boys an ultimatum: bow down and swear their love to him, their new Lord God, or be destroyed.
- Season 7 Finale: Castiel and Dean just killed Dick Roman, but are dragged along with his soul into the dimensional realm of Purgatory, where the soul of every monster that ever lived hunt for all eternity. Sam is left completely alone back on Earth, which is now a battleground for the remaining Leviathans and Crowley's demon army.
- Season 8 Finale: Sam collapses in agony, apparently dying, as a result of trying and failing to close the Gates of Hell. Meanwhile, Castiel is stripped of his Grace and dumped somewhere in the wild as Metatron casts every angel out of Heaven.
- Season 9 Finale: Dean dies, with the last scene showing coming back as a demon.
- Season 10 Finale: Dean is cured of the Mark of Cain but this winds up freeing the Darkness, and he and Sam take cover in the Impala while it spreads over the entire area. Meanwhile Castiel ends up Brainwashed and Crazy by Rowena and ends up trying to kill Crowley.
- One season of Neighbours ended with the roof collapsing on an illegal dance party at which many of the characters were present.
- Neighbours has been doing this consistently since the 90s (note that other years feature lives endangered, just not more than one):
- Beth and Hannah trapped in a burning cottage, while Cameron, for unrelated reasons, was being held over an open elevator shaft (1992);
- Gaby and Annalise in a plane crash (1993);
- Karl and Joel in a flood, with Joel's leg trapped under a car (1998);
- Drew and Lolly being pulled out of a burning house, both injured (1999);
- Joe trapped in his taxi during a bushfire with a passenger about to go into labour (2000);
- the Lassiters complex is set on fire with Stu and Sindi trapped in the pub, while Max is knocked out by an explosion.
- Libby, Zeke and Bridget missing during a rafting trip, when their raft is capsized by a prank. (2008)
- Summer and Andrew trapped in a fire, as Natasha and Michael s attempt to rescue them. (same house as 1999!) (2010).
- Neighbours has been doing this consistently since the 90s (note that other years feature lives endangered, just not more than one):
- Outrageous Fortune (New Zealand drama) had an uncharacteristic one at the very end of Season 5. Zane Gerard fired gunshots at either Cheryl or Pascalle, himself having just been fatally stabbed with a broken bottle and we had to wait till next season to see who, if anyone survived. This was because the lead actors were engaged in aggressive negotiations with the production and it was not clear which of them would be returning.
- Happened quite often in Babylon 5, often as part of JMS's preplanned "hooks" to remove a character from the plot if the actor decided to quit. Perhaps the most impressive was Captain Sheridan, who ended the third season finale at ground zero of two 500-megaton nuclear explosions. He came back (eventually), as did Garibaldi (variously shot, missing, disgraced). In non-finale examples a number of characters including Talia Winters (season two episode 19) and Marcus Cole (season four episode 20) stayed gone.
- Seemed to be Michael Garibaldi's main thing.
- Reno 911! did this twice. The first season ending with a shootout that leaves everybody apparently dead (it was All Just a Dream the next season). Season 5 ends with the deputies' parade float careening into a building that then explodes, this time three of them didn't come back.
- The season 3 ending of JAG.
- Oz did this twice. The first season ends with National Guard troops forcing their way into the cell block to end the riot, firing live ammunition at random. The fourth season ends with an accidental gas explosion in the kitchens.
- The end of Series 1 of Jeopardy, which has the group being abducted by aliens as they wait on the ridge to be rescued by helicopter.
- The Flash (2014): Season 1 ends with an anomaly created due to the time paradox of Eddie's Heroic Suicide which keeps Eobard Thawne from being born and Barry rushes to try and stop it before the thing destroys all of Central City.
Video Games
- Driv3r ends with Tanner flatlining after being shot by the Big Bad's Last Breath Bullet. A doctor seems to be getting a defibrillator ready, but the whole thing wasn't resolved until years later in Driver: San Francisco.
- The mission "Of Their Own Accord" in Modern Warfare 2 ends with the US Army Rangers boarding a Blackhawk to cover the evacuation of civilians from a warzone. After gunning down multiple Russian gunners, the helicopter is shot down, and your character, Pvt. Ramirez, wakes up inside the wreckage as Russian troops are closing in, you run out of ammo, and Cpl. Dunn gets shot. The next few mission takes place on the other side of the world, with an entirely different protagonist. Then we are sent back to Ramirez, Foley, and Dunn, who thanks to the timely actions of the other protagonist and his squad, survives.
- Episode 4 of The Walking Dead Season Two ends with the survivors in a Mexican Standoff between another Russian group. Rebecca starts to turn, causing either Clementine or Kenny to shoot her, then the Russian group opens fire. Smash to Black. No one in Clem's group dies in the ensuing battle, but Luke gets grazed in the leg, which proves to be his doom later on.
- Phantasy Star II ended like this, with Lutz transporting the other members of your party to the your location to aid you in fighting a HORDE of Earthmen after defeating the final boss. Kind of a stupid thing to do in retrospect because the only people that actually know what really happened on the ship and with Mother Brain are (you guessed it) the members of your party, and with them all (possibly) dead, no one would be able to tell the world the truth.
- That's just a Bolivian Army Ending, although Word of God says that your party actually WINS.
- At the end of XIII, the conspirator's identity is revealed and the hero is left in a potentially deadly situation. Poor sales, however, meant that it would never be resolved in game form.
- Actually, it had very good sales. It was unresolved because the developers wanted that to happen; in the original comic book, the Mongoose is still alive and Walter Sheridan lets XIII live to avoid another conspiracy and since XIII has no evidence against Sheridan anyways. There also wasn't much more to do in terms of gameplay, nor satisfying plot, so the game was purposely ended there.
Web Original
- Both the Season 1 and Season 2 finales of We're Alive. "The War" ended with the Tower besieged by the Mallers and Zombies. "The Harder They Fall" ended with the Tower crew fleeing the wreckage of the Tower on a helicopter headed for the unknown and leaving behind several of their comrade who they believed to be dead.
- Season 13 of Red vs. Blue ends with the Red and Blues aboard the Staff Of Charon, barracaded in the trophy room and ready to fight the Space Pirates that are cutting through the door. Epsilon takes advantage of his faster perception of time to record a message for them, explaining that he needs to deconstruct himself in order to give them the power they need to win (effectively killing himself). Just as the action is about to start up, Epsilon fragments and the episode ends.
Western Animation
- In one of the more completely awesome moments of the series, Beast Wars second season ended up with Megatron messing up the whole of reality by shooting THE Optimus Prime in the head!!
- Season One ends with the alien Vok about to scorch the entire planet. The last shot of the episode is Optimus exploding in space while Megatron rallies his troops for a final assault against the Maximals.
- The first season of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002) reboot ends with all the heroic Masters captured and imprisoned, leaving only Prince Adam (without his Sword of Power) to defend Castle Grayskull against Skeletor, all his henchmen, and nearly every single villain from the entire season.
- A particularly frustrating example in the finale of Total Drama World Tour: After Chris' final challenge results in the volcano erupting, the contestants are seen swimming away from Hawaii as giant flaming boulders rain down upon them, Alejandro is seen alive in The Stinger, but it is left unknown whether or not the other twenty-four contestants managed to survive.
- They all survived, even Ezekiel.
- Played with in Toy Story 2. Woody learns that there was once a TV show starring his character. After one of the episodes ended with a cliffhanger: right in the middle of a jump across a canyon, the show was cancelled abruptly, leaving the story unfinished.
- Season Two of The Amazing World of Gumball has "The Finale": when all of Elmore swarms on the Wattersons because they're finally and relentlessly being held accountable for their actions in every previous episode, Gumball proclaims his family's last and most desperate hope: That the only way it can end well is if there's a magic reality-resetting device. The episode ends there.
- The seventh and final episode of Free for All ended with a crazed gunman firing wildly at the main cast, who are offscreen, with no indication of which of them survived.

I'm working on a multithreaded library which monitors network traffic from winpcap and transforms the packets into several different types of data structures for consumption by various applications.
for each type of output, there will be several transformations required, each transformation could be described as taking 0-N objects of type X, and then producing 0-N types of Y which will then be consumed by the next step in the process.
It's important to note that in the transformation of X's to Y's. If we currently only have 5 (as an example) X's, that may or may not be enough to create a Y, or it might be enough to create many Y's, depending on the transformation and the data recieved.
To be consistant, we would obviously like to use a standard pattern for each transformation object. I'm hoping that someone could point out a commonly used pattern for something like this that hopefully relies on std (or boost) libraries.
Additionaly we have been discussing the possibility of using chains of inheritance to link the different layers together.
class ProcessXtoY: ProcessWtoX
void processData(iterator<X> begin, iterator<X> end)
/* create Y's, send output to */
virtual void processData(iterator<Y> begin, iterator<Y> end) = 0;
class ProcessYtoZ: ProcessXtoY
void processData(iterator<Y> begin, iterator<Y> end)
/* ... */
Can anyone suggest some examples of commonly used patterns for this type of project?

FDA to Decide Obesity Drug Lorcaserin's Fate
WASHINGTON—Federal regulators are set to decide the fate of a new obesity drug as soon as Friday, and with it the future of a small biotechnology company whose investors are conducting an unusually aggressive lobbying campaign to get the pill approved.
The drug, lorcaserin, made by Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc. ARNA -5.44 % of San Diego, was rejected in a 9-to-5 vote by a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee in mid-September.
That prompted outrage among Arena shareholders who have spent thousands of hours on their own scientific analyses, contacted Congress, set up an online petition and flooded the FDA with comments saying the agency didn't give the diet pill a fair hearing.
It is one of a few recent cases in which individual investors in a company—not just the company itself—made their presence felt in advance of a make-or-break decision.
Arena shareholders, about 40 of whom are in an investor group nicknamed Borg, say they're raising important questions about possible bias and ignorance among the FDA panel members.
"What has mobilized so many people, within our group and beyond, are the comments and behavior of some FDA officials and what we believe to be incorrect scientific conclusions," said Douglas Park, an Arena shareholder in San Diego who used to work for the company.
Some doctors and FDA officials fear the nascent trend poses dangers to the drug-approval system.
"It's a good thing everybody is allowed to have their say, but the FDA has to do its job," said heart-disease expert Sanjay Kaul, who served as an FDA adviser and voted against lorcaserin. "This is about patients, not about money."
The FDA is due to decide on lorcaserin by Friday, although it could seek a delay. The agency usually follows the advice of its outside panelists but isn't required to do so.
Investors are showing new assertiveness because of financial uncertainty in the biotechnology business and anger at a perceived lack of predictability in FDA decisions, said former FDA Deputy Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, now a partner in a health-care investment firm.
An Arena spokesman said the company isn't involved in investor lobbying and hasn't encouraged it.
Many investors saw Arena's pill, which affects a part of the brain involved in appetite control, as safer than rival drugs. They were surprised when the FDA staff and the agency's outside advisers gave it a thumbs-down in September. FDA reviewers said lorcaserin was only modestly effective in trimming pounds and had some safety issues.
The company's stock fell 73% in the week of the vote. Arena shares declined 6.4% to $1.46 in 4 p.m. trading Thursday on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
"I got punched in the belly real bad by the FDA," said Peter Becker, a retired Army colonel in Texas. The former administrative law judge said he had bought a "very, very large position in Arena" after he spent many hours studying the safety of lorcaserin versus other diet drugs.
The backlash began quickly. One investor accosted an FDA panel member with harsh words in a hallway minutes after the Sept. 16 vote, according to people who were there. It was first reported by The HealthCare Channel digital video site.
The Borg group says the FDA understated lorcaserin's efficacy in weight loss and exaggerated safety issues.
Another investor wrote to Dr. Kaul, the panelist, politely suggesting that, "to hear the scuttlebutt going around," the panelists incorrectly assumed a risk to humans after some rats on lorcaserin developed tumors.
"Given the issues at stake here and the money invested by both ARNA [Arena] and its Stock Holders," the investor wrote, Dr. Kaul had a "responsibility to let the FDA know" that he would have voted "yes" if he fully understood the tumor issue. Dr. Kaul, based at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, says the rat issue didn't figure significantly in his vote.
The chairman of the advisory committee, Abraham Thomas of Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, voted for the drug, but he said the shareholders are overstating what it can do.
"I could have gone either way. It's just not a very effective medication," said Dr. Thomas, who previously ran the obesity clinic at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
An FDA spokeswoman said the agency was careful in choosing panelists and reviewing drug safety and efficacy data. The FDA's meeting process was fair, she said.
One of the few precedents for the lorcaserin activism came in the fight over the prostate-cancer drug Provenge, which was rejected by the FDA in 2007. Following additional research and pressure from investors in Provenge maker Dendreon Corp., the FDA approved Provenge in April of this year.
Several Arena shareholders said they had also invested in Dendreon, whose stock soared after the FDA approval.

Occasionally, you might need to order new parts for overhead doors. For the most part, these items help the door to function at a higher level or provide ease of access for the user. Have a look at the following parts and if you want to get more out of your door.
Remote Control
Having access to a remote control makes it much easier for you to go in and out of your garage. All you will have to do is keep the remote control in your car and you can remotely open and close the door when you're coming or going. Having a few of these remotes allows you to put them in multiple vehicles.
Wireless Keypad
A wireless keypad could be important if you want to access your garage or any other part of your home that uses one of these doors. With this keypad, you can set a password that keeps the door locked. Then, when you want to open the door, you simply put in the password and it will open automatically.
Safety Sensors
The safety sensors are incredibly important because they ensure that the door doesn't come down on top of anyone. This is vital if you have children, since they tend to run underneath things without considering the consequences.

The condenser "set" should match the lens. Theoretically, a 6 x 6 set should perform best with an 80mm lens- "standard" for 6 x 6, or a wide-angle lens (60mm or ?) designed for 6 x6 coverage. I don't think there is a great deal of distinction between 6 x 6 and 6 x 7, however.
Wildly mismatched sets, 35mm used for a 4" x 5" format, for example, can be expected to give unven illumination with a lot of edge fall-off; or, going the other way, reduced overall illumination.

BP Plc and its partners in the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System that carries 15 percent of U.S. crude output can't say when production will return to normal after a leak two days ago.
The shutdown forced BP, ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil Corp. to suspend 95 percent of production from the North Slope area. The pipeline remained closed as of 10:21 a.m. New York time today with no estimate of when it will return to service, said Michelle Egan, a spokeswoman for operating partnership Alyeska Pipeline Service Co.
Oil futures in New York jumped as much as 2.2 percent to $89.98 a barrel, advancing for the first time in three days, while BP fell the most in three weeks. The leak, which has been contained, was thought to be located in an underground section of piping at Pump Station 1 and hasn't caused any injuries or damage to the environment, Alyeska said in a statement.
"This is a very, very minor leak," analysts at JPMorgan Chase & Co. led by Lawrence Eagles said in a note to clients. "From an engineering perspective, we would doubt that any shutdown will last more than two to three days. However, government inspectors are likely to want a more comprehensive understanding of the cause."
Crude oil for February delivery was up $1.33, or 1.5 percent, to $89.36 a barrel at 11:07 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Cold Restart
Alyeska recovered around nine or 10 barrels of crude oil after a spill was discovered early on Jan. 8 inside a booster pump building at Pump Station 1, according to a report from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation issued at 4:00 p.m. local time yesterday.
Crews are working on plans to install a bypass line to carry oil from booster pump 1 to the main pipeline pump, according to the report. The temperature of the line is being monitored and Alyeska plans to periodically circulate oil within the pump stations to keep equipment and oil warm.
Workers are reviewing a "cold restart" procedure and will restart the line when state and federal regulators are confident that it can be done safely, the state said in the report.
"There is as yet no restart date, but we would not be surprised if a further week is added to the process," JPMorgan analysts said.
Parts necessary to repair and bypass the damaged line are being fabricated in Fairbanks and will be flown to the North Slope, state investigators said.
Tesoro Corp. will be "minimally impacted" in the short-term by the outage, Mike Marcy, a company spokesman, said in an e-mail. Valero Energy Corp.'s California refineries are not affected, Bill Day, a spokesman for Valero, said in an e-mail.
The shutdown is a further setback for BP, whose well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico in April led to the biggest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. The company's North Slope production is about 410,000 barrels a day.
BP, which owns almost 47 percent of the pipeline system, fell as much as 2.7 percent in London and traded 1.1 percent lower at 487.35 pence as of 10:56 a.m. in New York.
Credit-Default Swaps
Credit-default swaps on BP rose 9.5 basis points to 96.5, the highest level in a month, according to data provider CMA. An increase in the contracts that protect against losses on BP's debt indicates worsening perceptions of credit quality.
Crude prices rose 21 percent in the second half of last year, and reached a 27-month high of $92.58 on Jan. 3 on speculation the U.S. economic recovery will boost fuel demand in the world's biggest oil-consuming country.
"The shutdown is being factored into prices," said Ben Westmore, a minerals and energy economist at National Australia Bank Ltd. in Melbourne. "People are a little more concerned with supply constraints than they were six months ago."
The pipeline system transported an average 642,261 barrels a day last month, according to Alyeska's website. The network starts in Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope and runs to Valdez, the northernmost ice-free port in North America.
Tankers were being loaded with reserve supplies at Valdez yesterday, according to Alyeska's Egan. Inventories in Alaska stood at about 2.68 million barrels of crude as of Jan. 6, according to the state's website.
There were no injuries and no "apparent impacts to the environment," the company said. Federal and state staffs are helping with the response and crews began recovering oil about seven hours after the shutdown, according to Alyeska.
Largest Source
Toby Odone, a London-based spokesman for BP, said it's up to Alyeska to provide updates, and declined to comment further yesterday. Alyeska is owned by BP, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and Koch Industries Inc., according to statements on its website.
Prudhoe Bay and other Alaskan fields were BP's largest source of crude in the Western Hemisphere in 2009 after the Gulf of Mexico, according to a public filing. Alaskan fields provided one in every 14 barrels of oil BP pumped worldwide that year. The company operates or holds stakes in 20 other fields on Alaska's North Slope, as well as four pipelines.
BP owns 26 percent of Prudhoe Bay and neighboring fields in Alaska with Exxon, ConocoPhillips and Chevron. The Prudhoe Bay deposit, the largest field in the U.S., came online in 1977.
The Alaskan pipeline system was also shut last May after a leak, according to a company statement at the time. In March 2006, the Trans-Alaska system spilled 6,400 barrels in a discharge caused by corrosion on a pipe wall.
'Not Uncommon'
"We have had significant production reduction before for various reasons, including bad weather," said Steve Rinehart, a spokesman for BP in Anchorage. "It's not uncommon."
ConocoPhillips has prorated its production to 5 percent, Natalie Lowman, a ConocoPhillips spokeswoman in Anchorage, said yesterday in a telephone interview.
BP shares have gained about 60 percent since June after the company agreed to set up an escrow account to pay for the cleanup and economic losses from the Macondo well blowout. The April 20 explosion, which killed 11 workers, destroyed Transocean Ltd.'s $365 million Deepwater Horizon rig and spewed crude for 87 days.

At the end of 2009 the use of virgin HCFCs was banned, what can I use to top up my refrigeration and air conditioning systems?
Climalife are able to offer a number of different options depending on the equipment and how it operates.
We can offer easy retrofit options for R-22 such as R-417A, R-422D, R-427A or other refrigerants such as R-404A, R-407A or R-407C which will require more work.
Alternatively, until 31st December 2014 you can use reclaimed product which is available from Climalife under our own brand of R-22T.
For HCFC blends such as R-401A and R-409A you can use either R-437A or R-134a, whilst for R-402A, R-403B and R-408A you can replace with R-422A or R-404A.
Each Climalife office has knowledgeable people who can help you match your system requirements with the correct refrigerant. To find out more you can contact your local office or alternatively email us details of your system and one of our Climalife experts will reply to you.

Do refrigerant fluid mixtures break down if there is a leak?
Azeotrope mixtures do not break down, and behave like pure substances.
1 - The mixtures are made up of fluids of similar natures and as they have very small temperature variation they break down only slightly. In the case of a leak in gaseous state, simple refilling it reestablishes the mixture. Eg: R-404A, R-410A.
2 - A mixture with a high variation (for example R-407C) does not break down in a gaseous state in the presence of its liquid, or when it stops. In operation, the probability of a mixture breaking down is virtually nil.
To remove doubt, simply measure the pressure/temperature ratio and this will show if the mixture has changed from its initial proportions. Acceptable pressure is P< 0.3 to 0.5b max.

Where does the average person buy?
Today, I challenge you to find the best place for the average wage-earners in Massachusetts. You all have your favorite MLS interface, so get searching.
Within Ten Miles:
The single-earner household can borrow $100,000. He or she needs a 20 percent down payment. That makes a purchase price of $125,000. Within ten miles of Boston, $125,000 could have purchased houses in Boston, Chelsea, Dedham, Everett, Lynn, Malden, Quincy, Revere, and Saugus. Condos (at least a couple) could be had in Melrose, Winthrop and Winchester. (Data from the last six months.)
The two-income household can borrow $250,000. With their 20 percent down payment, their purchase power is about $313,000. I put some limits on the size of this two-person or more living space. It must have two bedrooms, five rooms and be 1000 square feet or more inside. In the past six months, there were houses in Arlington, Boston, Braintree, Chelsea, Dedham, Everett, Hull, Lynn, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Milton, Needham, Newton, Quincy, Revere, Saugus, Somerville, Stoneham, Wakefield, Waltham, Watertown, Weymouth, Winchester, Winthrop and Woburn. When I throw condos in, I get a lone Brookline condo to add to the town mix.
Where do properties in these towns fall, generally, on that size + location + condition (+ some for style in some cases) = price equation?
Close to Boston, you are going to find houses and condos in this price, lots of them! Some are tiny, but pretty in good spots. Some are big, but run down. Some are big, nice and in crowded areas, on busy streets, or in tough condition. What choice worked for you?
Beyond the city
If you go farther out, prices are even higher. The spaces between houses expands and so do the costs. When commuting time hits about 45 minutes to an hour, the prices go down again. What balance do you choose in regard to your commute? Where would you choose in the long-commute-to-Boston towns? Where do you own or rent, and why?
Id like to hear from people who live in some of the towns within ten miles of Boston that have affordable properties for sale for the average wage-earner. Also, from the long commute crowd. (I also expect those who want to disparage the town to keep it civil.)

It sounded like one of those wise comments that end up in a book of quotations.
''I have no fears; I have faith.'' — Derrick Rose, U.S. basketball player.
So simple yet so profound. Rose is a lot of things. Humble. Athletic. Agreeable to a fault. Maybe even jinxed. But Churchillian? No.
Maybe we should start listening a little harder. Last week, he was telling us how to proceed.
If he has no fear about his future, then why should anybody else?
On Saturday at the United Center, Chicago fans followed where Rose was leading them on the subject of his two surgically repaired knees. I'm not fluent in stadium-ese, but their roars seemed to say, ''What surgically repaired knees?''
It was as though the Bulls star never had been injured, as though there never had been any public backlash against him, as though everyone had been teleported back to his MVP season of 2010-11. The only thing on display was a full-blown case of faith.
Faith in Rose. Faith in rehab. Faith in hard work. Faith in a higher power, for those so inclined. What's the point of gnawing on your fingernails? Keep calm and carry on.
It has taken almost 2½ years for Rose to go from zero to the starting point-guard spot for Team USA. A slow, painful process, but there he was, looking as explosive as ever. If you didn't know that before he walked onto the floor to face Brazil in an exhibition game, you knew it when he blew past the unfortunate Guilherme Giovannoni and beat the halftime clock with a one-hander off the backboard.
That was Rose's way of faxing, ''I'm back.''
As fellow Chicago native Anthony Davis put it: ''The things that he does can't be taught.''
Other than a cut on the bridge of his nose, Rose survived. He's whole. He'll continue to be whole. Yes, we've heard that before. There have been enough stops and starts along the way that when Rose gets to the Bulls' regular-season opener, we'll chronicle that milestone as though it's a G8 Summit. But this particular comeback feels like it will take.
He went up for a monster two-handed dunk in the second quarter — the way the old Rose used to — and rocked it off the back of the rim. Think he might have been a little too amped?
In the third quarter, he crossed over Raul Neto (also unfortunate), cradled the ball, hung in the air and, well, you know the drill. Chants of ''MVP! MVP!'' ensued.
''I think everybody's excited,'' said Rose, who scored seven points in Team USA's 95-78 victory. ''It was cool, but at the same time I can't get bigheaded about it.''
Thanks to Paul George's ugly injury, there has been trepidation about Rose's participation on the national team. But it makes perfect sense for him to play. He needs more basketball, not less.
His ''no fears'' quote originated there. Players play. Players who have played a total of 49 games the last three seasons need to play more.
Rose played 24 minutes, 11 seconds against Brazil. This is where someone is supposed to say Tom Thibodeau, the Bulls' coach and an assistant on the national team, had to be restrained from using Rose more. Thibodeau has a reputation for overusing players, the way fish have a reputation for overusing water.
But he seems to be on board with Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski's minutes limit for Rose. Who knows, Coach K's philosophy even might rub off on Thibs.
You're right: Nah.
''It was great to watch Derrick play again,'' Thibodeau said. ''I couldn't be more pleased with the way he played.''
The idea of a healthy Rose paired with Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol is no longer a fingers-crossed proposition. It would be silly to declare Rose out of harm's way for good, but the game against Brazil ought to raise the confidence of anyone with an emotional investment in him. His confidence doesn't seem to be in need of elevating.
His game looks a bit different, though out of design, not limitations. He's the point guard on a team of extremely talented basketball players. He doesn't need to be driving to the basket like a tornado all the time.
But there's no need to proceed with caution, either — not for him and not for us. We'll assume he's fully healed and fully back. We saw it ourselves Saturday.
Keep the faith.
