A Matter of Integrity: Richard Blumenthal's Vietnam Controversy
Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut attorney general and Senate candidate, got himself into hot water last week when news accoun
Tuesday morning -- just two days ago -- I wrote to half a dozen leaders of progressive thought and action in America, each separately, the letter that follows.
Within the context of just peace theory, Walter Cronkite was and remains an important figure. Truth. Respect. Security. We know the truth through the hard work of scholars doing the difficult and necessary research into the past and present to help us understand the facts of any conflict. Politicians and policy makers ought to make decisions based on a careful interpretation of the facts.

GOOD Bi-porn? What planet am I on?!?!?" Most of the bi-male porn that been produced... well, EVER, has totally sucked. Ugly performers, limp dicks, and listless mechanical fucking. This film, on the other hand, had HOT boys and girls, all of them enjoying each other fully. Unlike most bi-porn, the girls were actually into the action, and the boys were into the girls as much as each other. The boys never had problems keeping their erections while being fucked, unlike the limp-dicked bottoms in most bi-porn. There were no long stretches of time where the girls just sat around and watched; they were _always_ involved with a helping hand or mouth on the dick of the guy getting fucked. The girls took it in the ass too. All scenes were bareback, which was a minor plus (I can take or leave condoms in my porn, but some people get all whiny). read the reviewPage 1 of 1 Current FiltersRoy Alexandre XAvailable FiltersStudioAvalon (1)Blue Coyote (1) AdultDVDTalk.com is not a store.

Toshiba announced today that it has refreshed their Chromebook 2 model. The new version will be available with 5th generation Core i3 or Celeron processors. Thanks to the the poor branding by Intel and vague release notes by Toshiba, the Celeron model may be the same N2840 as before or it may also be Core based. This is a pretty mild refresh, but the optional Core should mean a pretty significant increase in performance compared to the outgoing Silvermont based N2840. The Chromebook 2 keeps its 13.3-inch IPS display, as well as the ability to configure it with up to 4 GB of memory which should be plenty for most tasks in Chrome OS. The notebook is just 2.9 lbs and offers up to nine...

Legendary Journalist Martin Bell Discusses War, Reporting, Politics, and Poetry
For Immediate Release:
October 21, 2013
October 21, 2013
Contact: Steven Woolfolk
Legendary Journalist Martin Bell Discusses War, Reporting, Politics, and Poetry
In the same way that Walter Cronkite was "the most trusted man in America," Martin Bell represents journalistic integrity to several generations of Britons.
Beyond his career as a reporter, Bell has been elected to Parliament, is an ambassador for UNICEF and is a tireless critic of the state of journalism.
Bell discusses his life, war experiences, brief political career, and recent incarnation as a poet in Conflicts, Politics, and Poetry on Wednesday, November 6, 2013, at 6:30 p.m. at the Plaza Branch, 4801 Main St.
In 1962, at age 24, Bell joined the BBC as a reporter. Over the next 30 years, he covered 11 wars and reported from 80 countries.
In 1997, Bell announced that he was leaving the BBC to stand as an independent candidate for Parliament from one of the most secure Conservative seats in the country. He was elected, becoming the first successful independent parliamentary candidate in nearly 50 years. During his four years in office, he sided at different times with both the Conservatives and the Labour government of Tony Blair.
A member of the Order of the British Empire, Bell has written a number of books including An Accidental MP, Through the Gates of Fire: a Journey into World Disorder; The Truth That Sticks: New Labour's Breach of Trust, and, most recently, a book of poetry, For Whom the Bell Tolls.
This event is co-sponsored by the English Speaking Union.
Admission is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes the event. RSVP at kclibrary.org or call 816.701.3407.

text: Paul Spencer Alexander started writing songs at the age of 5 and, as an adult, carries a musical hybrid of sounds ranging from a modern take on 1980's euphoria and heartache, reminiscent of everything from Depeche Mode and Enigma on Paul's electronic side, to trippy and tranquil acoustic rock ballads, in the way one might describe Pink Floyd's "A Pillow of Winds." For an Artist who reaches for and savors "those rare moments of stillness in life," there seems to never be a still moment for Paul's hunger to write and perform his songs with one musical sensibility, only to experiment and reintroduce them with that of another. Paul carries with him a classic rock restlessness, with an energy and a sound that only the 1980's (and a welcome trace of the 1960's) could invent. As a traveling songwriter and Showman, Paul dares to bridge the gap between old-school garage pop, acoustic rock, folk, and "orchestral" electronic music, while so many other Artists remain tight-fisted in one style. In short, one might say that Paul Alexander is a songwriter and performer who is not to be sold short in his musical abilities.

Hockey is a simple game to follow and assess. Watching what's happening away from the puck, you can do no wrong. Players spend a bulk of their time on the ice sans a puck on their stick. You can spot good players quickly, and players that suck even quicker, given the right circumstances. Over the course of a typical training camp, coaches and GMs can take their time flushing out the bad players. But with a week-long camp, you have to get to the point. So in addition to getting CEC packed and putting on a show for the number-one stars, the Pens were going to use this game really to nail down a couple question marks in the lineup. Best way to do that: Get a big-time atmosphere, simulate game conditions, and hope for no injuries. To the best of our knowledge, the Pens accomplished this. Our summary after the jump. Suttertron Brandon Sutter, a.k.a. Suttertron, is going to be a hell of a player...

I do adore your choice of color. It's not overbearing for the eye but still attractive to the eye, also your depth perception is quite accurate.
Love it!

Heh i don't think that is a case of talent... it's more like everyday painting and hard work, but thanks a lot for kind words
Great colors and very nice atmosphere you've created there! (:
Heh for me it's still something missing in this picture
Well maybe there's always room for improvement. Still, I think it's amazing work of yours. I really like the idea of going out from some sort of house, I think, to the abyss with floating islands. (:

Great color & fit!
I was swimming everyday in it & it seems to be very durable & long lasting. It fits good with a little stretch, not too tight & looks good. Color is outstanding. I would highly recommend.
Mission, TX
Fit: Feels true to size

Great value!
good fit and quality!

Jamaica Plain, MA
Fit: Feels too big
Great suit
Competitive swimmer thru college, now a mom that swimslaps to stay in shape. Runs true to size, great to swim laps in, the cut is good on hips and butt coverage. This suit lasted me almost a year, but we also have a backyard pool and maybe didn't rinse as well or as needed over this summer. I ordered 2 more! Great suit for the price.Cant afford expensive suts now that there are 3 of us swimming!
Fun Suit!
I purchased this suit because I had bought another waterpro suit and was happy with it. They fit well, are attractive (I love the colors!), are inexpensive, and last about as long as a Lycra suit should (6 weeks or so if you swim 5 - 6 days a week). Because I'm an avid open water swimmer, I expect it'll last longer this summer since I'm not in the pool (aka chlorine) as often.
Portland, OR
I am a synchronized swimmer and I swim laps as well as go to those practices. Maybe 2 times a week if that. I love the color and style. But after only about a months worth of using it dry rotted. Which was disappointing to me.
Last and true to fit
I am in the pool 3 times a week for hours at a time and this brand last for over a year.
Henderson, NV
I like how it fits
I am a lifeguard and wear this suit when I work. I also swim laps in it. It is very stretchy and feels nice when I wear it. Compared to other suits it also does well in staying pulled down and not giving me a wedgie. As some other reviews said, though it is really pretty, it doesn't seem like it will last as long as I would hope. I have had it for a month and it is already starting to show a little wear. For the price though it is a good suit.
my daughter likes the suit and it seems to fit well
looks and swims well my doughter has not complained about it
cindy p.
cheney, WA
Super cute!
It was a little loose, but not too bad at all, I got a lot of compliments, and it was very comfortable!
St Helens, OR
great swimsuit
-The cut is really nice and the top is not too revealing. -The color is very vibrant-Definitely recommend
New York
Loved the colors
East Brunswick, NJ
Inexpensive practice suit
Bought this suit for 13 yr old daughter. So far, not stretching out much, but color is fading fast. True to size. Lasted for a season, but that's about it. Nice for the kid who likes new suits every few months and doesn't cost much. This one lasted longer than previous water pro suits.
What a great swimsuit!
It fits so comfortably, snug but not tight, and looks terrific. I swam in it for the first time this morning and had a strong swim!

Applied Physics Laboratory
|Research type
|Dr. Ralph Semmel
|Laurel, MD
Operating agency
|Johns Hopkins University
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), located in Howard County, Maryland, near Laurel and Columbia, is a not-for-profit, university-affiliated research center employing 5,300 people. APL is primarily a defense contractor. It serves as a technical resource for the Department of Defense, NASA, and other government agencies. The Lab is an engineering research and development organization rather than an academic division of Johns Hopkins University. Hopkins' Whiting School of Engineering offers part-time graduate programs through its Engineering for Professionals program. Courses are taught at seven locations in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area, including the APL Education Center.[2]
APL was created in 1942 during World War II under the Office of Scientific Research and Development as part of the Government's effort to mobilize the nation's science and engineering expertise within its universities. Its founding director was Merle Anthony Tuve. The Laboratory succeeded in developing the variable-time proximity fuze[3] that played a significant role in the Allied victory.[4] In response to the fuze's success, the APL created the MK 57 gun director in 1944. Pleased with the APL's work, the Navy then tasked it with the mission to find a way to negate guided missile threats. From there on, the APL became very involved in wartime research.[5] Expected to disband at the end of the war, APL instead became heavily involved in the development of guided missile technology for the Navy. At governmental request, the University continued to maintain the Laboratory as a public service.
APL was originally located in Silver Spring, Maryland in a used-car garage[6] at the former Wolf Motor Company building at 8621 Georgia Avenue.[7] APL moved to Laurel beginning in 1954, with the construction of a two million dollar building and a $700,000 wing expansion in 1956.[8] The final staff transitioned to the new facility in 1975.[6][9] Before moving to Laurel, APL also maintained the "Forest Grove Station", north of Silver Spring on Georgia Avenue near today's Forest Glen Metro,[10] which included a hypersonic wind tunnel.[11] The Forest Grove Station was vacated and torn down in 1963 and flight simulations were moved to Laurel.
The Laboratory's name comes from its origins in World War II, but APL's major strengths are systems engineering and technology application. About half of the technical staff are engineers, and 25% have computer science and math degrees. APL conducts programs in fundamental and applied research; exploratory and advanced development; test and evaluation; and systems engineering and integration.
In 1965, the US Army contracted with APL to develop and implement a test and evaluation program for the Pershing missile systems.[12] APL developed the Pershing Operational Test Program (OTP), provided technical support to the Pershing Operational Test Unit (POTU), identified problem areas and improved the performance and survivability of the Pershing systems.[13]
In 1990, APL became involved with Operation Desert Storm and is involved in the Gulf Crisis Room[clarification needed] among other efforts. In the same decade (1992), APL along with Johns Hopkins University developed an algorithm that allowed for automatic mammogram analysis.[5]
In 2014, the APL made history with the successful use of Modular Prosthetic Limbs by a "bilateral shoulder-level amputee." APL used pattern recognition algorithms to track which muscles were contracting and enable the prosthetics to move in conjunction with the amputee's body.[14]
APL has designed many spacecraft for the Department of Defense, including the Transit (satellite) series, and scientific spacecraft for NASA, including the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous, New Horizons, MESSENGER, STEREO and the Van Allen Probes.[15] The Lab is currently developing the Solar Probe Plus mission to probe the outer corona of the Sun.[16]
Located on a 399-acre campus, APL is also home to a Johns Hopkins graduate program in engineering and applied sciences, Engineering for Professionals.[17]
The U.S. Navy continues to be APL's primary long-term sponsor. The Laboratory performs work for the Missile Defense Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, intelligence agencies, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and others. The Laboratory supports NASA through space science, spacecraft design and fabrication, and mission operations. APL has made significant contributions in the areas of air defense, strike and power projection, submarine security, antisubmarine warfare, strategic systems evaluation, command and control, distributed information and display systems, sensors, information processing and space systems. APL has built and operated many spacecraft, including: the TRANSIT navigation system, NEAR, Geosat, ACE, TIMED, CONTOUR, MESSENGER, the New Horizons mission to Pluto, and STEREO.[15] APL proposed the Titan Mare Explorer (TiME) mission to NASA.[15]
The asteroid 132524 APL has been named in honor of APL after a flyby by the New Horizons spacecraft.
As of APL's 70th anniversary, there were over 600 projects in progress, spanning from those in APL's more traditional areas of work, including air defense, undersea warfare precision engagement and strategic systems to newer types of projects, including those in homeland security and cyber operations.[5] Due to the nature of the APL's work, many of its projects' details are kept confidential.
The APL researches and produces unmanned aerial vehicles for the US military.[18][19] One of its most recent projects is an unmanned aerial 'swarm'.[20]

[...] The demonstrations are conducted under a collaborative agreement between Boeing and JHU/APL, a University Affiliated Research Center and a division of Johns Hopkins University that has been addressing critical national challenges through the innovative application of science and technology for nearly 70 years. It maintains a staff of about 5,000 on its Laurel, MD, campus.

Trouble removing freshly cured silicone
Just stripped and resiliconed an older 125 gal tank, and because of a small mistake I didn't notice now I'm having to re-resilicone the whole thing again. After spending hours just rigorously razoring all the freshly cured silicone off I go to clean and retape for the new silicone application and what do I find but my good masking tape is not sticking in certain locations, even after cleaning all the seams with denatured alcohol and then acetone. Although visually the glass appears clear in these places the only thing I can imagine is that there still remains a very thin layer of that freshly cured silicone that I'm not able to remove. In those spots I've put so much pressure on the razor I was afraid the blade itself was going to break in my hand. Been using the regular rectangular shaped razors with small removable handle for support.
So now I'm just about clueless as to what to do next. My only idea as to how to remove the silicone mechanically would involve some kind of spinning flap pad like you would clean metal with. It would be 'ok' to get into the glass a little as the upper and lower brace frames would cover the damage. As for a chemical means to remove the silicone I'm not aware of any due to silicone's nonreactive nature.
Any advice at all?
PS. Just got word that DAP apparently makes a product that is designed to remove silicone, although I'm not sure what it is at this point. Anybody possibly know what this product is or have advice on using this it in a proposed freshwater aquarium?

The American Hospital Association's criticism of CMS' proposed -1.9% documentation and coding adjustment came through loud and clear in the comments it submitted to the agency June 15. The association disagrees with the methodology CMS used to draw the conclusion that there was a decline in real case mix between fiscal years 2007 and 2008, stating the agency's findings were "incorrect and overstated."
The proposed pay cut would reduce hospital payments over the next 10 years by $23 billion—not a particularly easy number to swallow given today's economic climate.
To analyze documentation and coding-related increases in FY 2008, CMS, as outlined in the FY 2010 IPPS proposed rule, ran FY 2008 claims data through the FY 2008 GROUPER to obtain a case-mix index (CMI). It then ran these same claims through the FY 2007 GROUPER to obtain a second CMI. It divided the former CMI by the latter to obtain an increase of 2.8%, which it attributed to documentation and coding changes as well as GROUPER changes.
It performed a similar analysis to determine the effect of GROUPER changes (0.3%) and found there was a documentation and coding-related increase of 2.5% in FY 2008.
The agency attempted to use Clinical Data Abstraction Center (CDAC) medical records data to corroborate its findings and to distinguish documentation and coding changes from real case mix changes; however, it was unable to do so because of what it termed "aberrations and significant variation in the data," according to the proposed rule.
CMS said the methodology it used is sound because only one set of claims (i.e., one set of patients) were factored into the analysis. This means that increases to CMI couldn't possibly reflect actual increases in patient severity, according to CMS.
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, says Kimberly Hoy, JD, CPC, regulatory specialist for HCPro, Inc. in Marblehead, MA. "CMS decided there would be a documentation and coding effect based on data from the skilled nursing facility and home health PPS implementations, so it's no surprise they used data that supports that assumption," she adds. "What is a surprise is that they didn't seem to account for any rise in the real case mix index at all."
In fact, CMS indicated in the proposed rule that its data showed a decline in the real CMI, implying that inpatients have lower acuity in 2008 than in 2007. Hoy adds. "To say that inpatients are less sick than they used to be just doesn't make any sense in an environment that is encouraging more and more outpatient procedures and observation services."

Quiet; fairly powerful graphics; plenty of ports.
Needs SSD; could be cheaper.
Considering how poorly AMD's A-series APU did in our Budget Builds story, you'd think that type of chip would be outclassed by its AM3+ siblings and Intel's crew in all scenarios. But, while that's true in the case of big desktops, when you miniaturize the chassis to something you can slip into your murse, things get a bit more competitive. Such is the way with Sapphire's Edge VS8 mini PC. Built around AMD's A8-4555M mobile chip, this quad-core proc boasts a 1.6GHz chip that Turbo Clocks up to 2.4GHz. Boxes this small have typically included Intel Atom and AMD E-450 series chips, and though both are getting better, they are pretty weak CPUs. AMD's A8-4555M, on the other hand, uses the fairly powerful Piledriver dual-core modules on the x86-side of things, and a Radeon HD 7600G for graphics. Initially, we thought we'd compare the Edge VS8 to an older E-450 or Atom-based mini PC, but the pricing of the Edge VS8 puts it firmly in the neighborhood of Intel's Core i3-3217U-based NUC. That's because to get the $300 NUC up and running, you'd need to add an mSATA SSD, RAM, wireless card, and OS, pushing the price to $600.
An SSD would greatly help the performance of this tiny PC.
In general compute performance, we found the A8-4555M couldn't quite go head-to-head with the Core i3-3217U, but it put up a decent fight, and was nowhere near as dog-slow as an Atom or E-450 processor. In ProShow Producer, the Edge VS8 was about 17 percent slower than the i3-based NUC and 34 percent slower than the NUC in Stitch.Efx 2.0. In gaming, the Edge VS8 got its payback, cranking out a 3DMark 11 score that was about 47 percent faster than the NUC's HD4000 graphics. When performance was isolated to just the GPU, the Radeon HD 7600G produced a score about 61 percent higher. We put the NUC's graphics capability in real games at something akin to Portal 2 on low settings. The Edge is definitely better equipped for gaming, but at 1600x900 rather than 1080p.
In our opinion, the Edge VS8 is better suited for HTPC applications. Here it excels with enough computing power to drive even the new PowerDVD 13 and its new real-time frame-by-frame sharpening algorithms. PowerDVD 13 played HD-res files as well as Blu-ray discs just fine. There were a couple of hitches when trying to skip forward several chapters, but it quickly smoothed out after a few blips. Of course, you'll need a USB Blu-ray drive to play actual discs, but the Edge VS8 had plenty of pep to do that.
Overall, Sapphire's Edge VS8 does a great job of fulfilling all our HTPC streaming needs. Our primary complaint is probably with its 500GB laptop drive. We've become so accustomed to SSD performance that we forgot how slow laptop hard drives can be. Any enthusiast can quickly swap out the drive for an SSD, though, by opening the case. Once inside, you'll also see a pair of SO-DIMMs and the machine's sole source of noise: a small heat pipe and fan. Externally, the Edge VS8 features a nice rubberized finish with a built-in stand. The machine can lie on its side but it will wobble a bit.
An SSD would greatly help the out-of-the-box performance but it would also exacerbate our other complaint, which is that once an OS is added (yes, it ships sans OS), the cost tips $550. That's within striking distance of the NUC outfitted with a 128GB mSATA SSD and 8GB of RAM, plus OS. We wish the Edge VS8 was about $100 cheaper, but once you get down to the $350 range, you're back into the sluggish territory of Atom and E-350/E-450 parts. Still, it's a powerful enough box with a healthy graphics advantage over the NUC.

In the last third of the nineteenth century the issue that artists and critics know as the "problem of expression" came to occupy a central place both in some of the sciences and in the domain of aesthetics. Fechner and Darwin, and the great scientific traditions they represented or initiated, were signs of this profound concern with what to many seemed a newly discovered dimension of existence, the expression of modes of psychic reality. How are emotions manifested, and how is it that these manifestations seem to be instantly understood by spectators? Moreover, how should we account for the strange fact that emotional characters are perceived in parts of nature that, we were taught to believe, are devoid of feeling? How should we account, for example, for our speaking of a serene or a melancholy landscape? Questions like these attracted much interest in the decades beginning about 1870.
Fechner's answer, as we have seen, was ultimately reminiscent in some way of the old beliefs in a World Soul. To a reader grossly overstating the case it may have seemed that Fechner was thinking of a mysterious Soul that infused everything with an intrinsic Life, thus creating a bridge between the different realms and layers of being. Darwin intended to leave little room for metaphysical assumptions, but he, too, wondered how an infant so naturally grasps the meaning of expressions of specific emotions. In summarizing the wealth of distinct observations and penetrating analyses he made in his The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals, Darwin reminded the reader of a fact well known from everyday experience: "… when a child cries or laughs, he knows in a general way what he is doing and what he feels…." How does the infant know it, how does he or she acquire this knowledge? Darwin continued: "But the question is, do our children acquire their knowledge of expression solely by experience through the power of association and reason?" And in conclusion: "As most of the movement of expression must have been gradually acquired, afterwards becoming instinctive, there seems to be some degree of a priori probability that their recognition would likewise have become instinctive."1

Remind our Senators of the Necessity of Government Investment in Scientific Research
Below is a remarkable and high impact message delivered by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. We all agree with what she says, but to be effective we need to respond both individually and collectively. Please review and consider a response to Senator Warren and our senators:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren
Sen. Robert Portman
Sen. Sherrod Brown
Senator Warren Calls on Congress to Double NIH Funding, Promotes Critical Government Investments in Scientific Research
In remarks to the Boston Chamber of Commerce on Monday, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) called on Congress to double funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and stressed the importance of supporting innovation and basic scientific research. "What drives the Massachusetts economy – and the American economy – is innovation," said Senator Warren. "Innovation makes us soar. And government-supported research is a critical first step in generating that innovation." Senator Warren also said, "I know some will say that we cannot afford to double our investments in medical research. They are wrong. Research creates economic growth. It reduces health care costs. It creates a better life for our people. And yet, the success rate for NIH grants has dropped by nearly 50% over the last 10 years. That makes no sense. There is good work to be done-work to save lives and work to boost our economy. We cannot afford NOT to increase our investments in medical research."
Pediatric and AYA Cancers to be the Focus of Conferences this Week in San Diego, Cleveland
The Plain Dealer - Nov 3, 2013
The needs of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancer patients are taking center stage at two conferences this week. The gatherings, in San Diego and Cleveland, are meant to spur collaboration to come up with more effective treatments for a patient population whose needs are vastly different from those of their adult counterparts...On Wednesday, University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital will serve as the host center of the annual three-day conference of Critical Mass. Started in 2006 by the Lance Armstrong Foundation as the Livestrong Young Adult Alliance, the group – now an entity separate from the foundation – serves as a coalition of dozens of organizations around the country that focuses on the needs of adolescent and young adult cancer patients...
"We've had huge success and great stride in pediatrics, but the survival rate [for adolescents and young adults] has been flat," said Dr. John Letterio, division chief of pediatric hematology and oncology at UH Rainbow and UH Case Medical Center.
Cleveland Clinic to Buy Ohio Cancer Specialists
Crain's Business Cleveland - Nov 1, 2013
The Cleveland Clinic said it will acquire Ohio Cancer Specialists, a Mansfield-based cancer treatment center with 43 employees. The agreement will make Ohio Cancer Specialists, or OCS, part of the Clinic's Taussig Cancer Institute..."The OCS team provides wonderful, state-of-the-art treatment to its patients, and we look forward to enhancing the excellent clinical care that Ohio Cancer Specialists provide," said Dr. Brian J. Bolwell, chairman of the Clinic's Taussig Cancer Institute.
FDA OK's Gazyva for CLL; 1st Drug with Breakthrough Therapy Designation to Get FDA Approval
The Plain Dealer - Nov 1, 2013
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Gazyva (generic name: obinutuzumab) for use in combination with chlorambucil to treat patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or CLL...Dr. Mikkael Sekeres, a hematologist/oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute, said the new drug is a "fairly big deal," but cautioned that it might not be the right choice for every patient with CLL. "I think the challenge with how to use this drug is, what patient population would you choose?" Sekeres said. "On study, the average age was 73 years."
Leukemia Drug Pulled From Sale by FDA
Wall Street Journal - Oct 31, 2013
The Food and Drug Administration told the manufacturer of a new leukemia drug called Iclusig to stop marketing and selling the medicine because of an increasing number of strokes, heart attacks and other serious side effects...Mikkael Sekeres, director of the Cleveland Clinic's leukemia program, said the events surrounding Iclusig are "a clear demonstration that the accelerated approval process works."

New Clinical Trial Tests Drug to Control Mesothelioma Cancer Stem Cells
Asbestos.com - Oct 23, 2013
A recently launched, international clinical trial that involves the targeted killing of mesothelioma cancer stem cells soon could provide a much-needed breakthrough for patients around the world..."The potential is there. If this (trial) turns out positive, it would be a big step forward for mesothelioma patients. It could become the next drug to be used," oncologist James Stevenson, M.D., principal investigator at the Cleveland Clinic, told Asbestos.com...
Cancer Society: Racial Disparities in Breast Cancer Survival Persist

Biomedical Engineering Researchers Aim Nanotechnology at Micrometastases
A group of researchers led by Dr. Efstathios Karathanasis, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology at CWRU, received two grants totaling nearly $1.7 million to build nanoparticles that seek and destroy metastases too small to be detected with current technologies. The group will spend the next five years perfecting molecular coatings, called ligands, that enable nanochains injected into a patient's blood to home in on micrometastases. The National Cancer Institute awarded the group $1.6 million to pursue the work. They also received $60,000 from the Ohio Cancer Research Associates to increase the efficiency and rapid dispersal of chemotherapy drugs the nanochains tote inside the metastases.
The grants will build on earlier work within the CWRU School of Medicine by Drs. Karathanasis, Mark Griswold, Professor of Radiology and Director of MRI Research, and Ruth Keri, Professor of Pharmacology and Associate Director of Basic Research at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center. They and colleagues invented a nanochain that explodes a barrage of chemotherapy drugs inside a tumor.
Other members of the research group include Vikas Gulani, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Director of MRI at UH Case Medical Center, Chris Flask, Director of the Imaging Research Core Facility in the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center and Assistant Professor of Radiology, and William Schiemann, Associate Professor in the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Case Comprehensive Cancer Center Call for Applications

Rocket Bolt High Flyer
by wildseyed, published
Thing Info
This is a redesign of a rocket I flew when I was just a boy. That one flew several flights reaching 2700 feet, using Estes C engines, but I would not recommend it for this one. Stick to A and B.
There are various challenges to a successful print with this, and any other object that has thin walls, inner circles, and small pointy features, but with careful adjustments to you slicing parameters, and a decent hot end, you can get some really rewarding results.
My preferred slicer is Skeinforge, so my suggestions may or may not apply if you are using one of the newer slicing utilities out there.
Bottom: Some people printing on glass use bottom to get a better grip on the first layer. I leave it disabled and just home my bed closer to the glass. For this print, I have raft enabled, so it does not matter either way.
Carve: Edge Width over Height (Ratio) 1.8, Layer height (mm) 0.3 / 300õm
Chamber: Bed Temperature (Celcius) 110.
Of course, this is for ABS. If you are using raft, or skirt, and notice that your plastic is curling up in the wake of your hotend on the first layer, your bed is either too hot, or too cold. Try goin +/-5ðC, and see which direction improves the result. Repeat at the new temperature until you find the right balance.
Clip: Disable
Comb: Enable
Cool: Cool Type Slow Down, Minimum Layer Time (Seconds) 3
This setting is most important when printing the nose cone. Especially when getting near the tip. If the layer completes too quickly, the tip will end up looking rough and blobby. Slowing down to enforce a minimum layer time helps to minimize this effect. Depending on your hotend, you may need to adjust the time to be longer. See the comparison photo.
Fill: Extra Shells 2-1-1, Infill Solidity (Ratio) 0.0, Thread Sequence Choice Loops > Infill > Perimeter
The model is essentially hollow, but the walls are 1mm thick, so you don't want fill to be turned off. The layer height play into this too, so using a smaller value there will require that you bump up the extra shells, to prevent any zigzag fill inside the walls, which might generate unwanted vibration during the print.
Raft: My bed is very level, so I don't need to use raft, but I also dont want my rocket to warp during printing, as this will ignite the atmosphere, and kill billions of inhabitants of the planet. LOL, Just checking if you're actually paying attention.
Temperature: ABS Black from 3D Printer Stuff @ 230ðC
That's about it. If you didn't see your favorite module mentioned, assume that I have it at defaults, or in the case of Limit: disabled.
One last couple of hints. If you want to type [ðC] or [õm], you can use the [ALT]0176 and [ALT]0181 keystrokes respectively.
