Romanian president visits his troops in Afghanistan
December 1, 2010
By Senior Airman Daryl Knee, 16th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - The Romanian head of state paid homage Nov. 30 to his 1,650 military countrymen stationed in Afghanistan.
As part of the visit, President Traian Basescu met with more than 150 Romanian soldiers and later flew to a nearby camp to have lunch with International Security Assistance Forces.
"The troops are in good shape," he said. "The troops have good morale, and they are very determined to perform the mission."
After landing at Kandahar Airfield, the president met with Maj. Gen. James L. Terry, Regional Command South commander, for a briefing of NATO and ISAF operations in southern Afghanistan. The majority of the Romanian involvement in Afghanistan takes place at Forward Operating Base Apache, near Qalat in the Zabul province, so Basescu departed KAF to speak with his troops there.
After the helicopter touchdown at FOB Apache, hundreds of Romanian soldiers lined the streets to greet their nation's leader.
The FOB is home to about 800 Romanian soldiers and six Romanian units: two maneuver battalions and four operation mentoring and liaison teams. The 811th "Transylvanian Dragons" and 812th "Carpathian Hawks" Maneuver Battalions work with joint patrols in Zabul while the liaison teams train with the U.S. Army and Afghan National Army soldiers.
The main purpose of the president's visit was to see his military, said Romanian Maj. Florin Apafaian, Combined Team Zabul public information officer. It was to see how they are living, how they accomplish the mission and find out if there are any difficulties in cooperation between the U.S., Romanian and ISAF forces.
"I can tell you that from working here for six months, it makes no difference about the uniform," said Lt. Dragos Iacob, CTZ chief of staff. "We all do the same thing."
"When you have a patrol go out with three different uniforms - this is incredible," he said about the partnerships among the U.S., Romania and Afghan forces. "We work to help the Afghans and give them hope. And when you see that hope on the face of an Afghan child, this is something worth fighting for."
Aside from seeing the operations of the Romanian military, Basescu made time to ask the soldiers about their day-to-day life, to pose for a few photographs and to eat lunch with whoever could crowd into the FOB's small dining facility.
"It's an honor," said Romanian Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Puiu, 811th Maneuver Battalion. "For me, just a regular soldier, seeing the president is an honor."
"It was certainly an unexpected visit," said Romanian Capt. Nicolae Paraschiv, from a liaison team. "I didn't think I'd ever see the president here," he continued with a laugh, "and maybe not even in Romania."
Upon returning to KAF, Basescu spoke with 150 more Romanian soldiers, detailing some of the future plans for their force. Before the end of December, he said he hopes to reach a total of 1,800 troops in Afghanistan supporting the NATO mission.
NATO is an alliance that consists of 28 independent member countries. Romania joined in 2004 after an invitation at the Prague Summit in 2002. Since then, the nation has been a part of operations throughout the Middle East and southwest Asia.

Dollar General Store gets land use permit in ChesterBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | February 27,2013CHESTER — The District Environmental Commission approved a land use permit for a Dollar General Store in Chester today.
According to the ruling, the permit authorized the Zaremba Group of Lakewood, Ohio to build a 9,100 square-foot retail store on two lots consisting of 10 acres combined. The proposed site will be located at 319 South Main St. in Chester.
The Zaremba Group also obtained a conditional use permit from the development review board and now has the green light to go ahead with construction, pending an appeal from local opponents. Several residents and local business owners testified against a Dollar General Store proposal, arguing that the store does not meet the town plan criterion and will hurt the local economy.
It is unknown whether opponents will appeal the Act 250 decision. They must make a decision in 30 days according to the ruling.
Dollar General Store is a national retail chain with over 10,000 stores in 40 states. According to its website, the company makes more than $14.8 billion in sales a year and employs 90,000 employees.
Dollar General Store is "the largest retailers in selling top-quality brands by America manufacturers," the website said.MORE IN This Just InWATERBURY CENTER Vermont State Police say a toddler is in critical condition after being found ...

Antigallican HotelLondon, England
Excellent small hostel with very good facilities. A bit away from London city, but very good transportation to center.
Davies CourtLondon, England
Unfortunately this place has problem with mould. Not only in the bathroom, but outside the bathroom, the carpet was green with mould. Terrible smell that was partly hidden by an excessive use of softener in the bed linens. Not advisable for people with asthma etc. Your sleep wrapped in chemicals. Cannot tell if the bed linens were clean, but they certainly were perfumed.
The Royal Bayswater HostelLondon, England
Nice hostel in a very central location. Nice and helpful staff. Good facilities which includes a fully equipped kitchen. Common room/breakfast room is a bit too cold for chilling out, but OK for eating.

This hostel has a very nice kitchen. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, as the transport for London is just across the street.
No.8 TottenhamLondon, England
It is very long time since I stayed at the Bell & Hare, but I remember the very nice roof terrace and the well equipped kitchen like it was yesterday. Very nice place to stay.
Globe Trott InnsLondon, England
Very nice, warm and friendly place. The common room is nice, but mostly a bit too crowded. The staff and management is very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms very nice with both soap and paper and always clean. Only complaint would be the neighbourhood - it's safe but it is very boring. One day we had free pizza, and they just put up a Wish Box, and actually asked us to use it, so they can improve the hostel.
Hostel 639London, England
-The cleaning is very poor and the cleaners use the toilet brush to clean the wash basins, really discusting. -Everything is run down. The kitchens, 2nd and 3rd floors, are empty, but you can borrow cutlery, plates, cups, pots, pans etc. in the cafe, which are on the ground floor. -The kitchens are locked until 10 am, so you are more or less forced to buy their breakfast, which is cheap, but very poor. -There are very few or no plugs for charging , neither in the dorms or in the common room.
City Public HostelCopenhagen, Denmark
Excellent place. Very nice and helpful staff. Good location and a very friendly atmosphere.
Mec HostelDublin, Ireland
The hostel have a very nice garden, but it is not possible to buy a cup of coffee and you have to push the button in the showers every single minut.
Hotel Gamla StanStockholm, Sweden
Best hostel in Stockholm. Have been staying while finding an appartment and have no complaints at all. Very helpful staff, cleaning very good, location for sightseeing is perfect, good kitchens and commons room to meet other travellers. Enough bathrooms which are clean and nice.

First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope said ministers would have to "reprioritise" - making cuts in firepower elsewhere - if the Nato-led campaign lasts beyond the UK's existing six-month commitment. However, the head of the Armed Forces responded to the comments by insisting Britain could sustain the military operation "for as long as we choose".
"We are perhaps a few weeks from 'culmination' (military exhaustion)," a senior official in a Nato member state told Sky News. Small wonder that the US secretary of defence, Robert Gates, called on Spain, Holland and Turkey to join strike missions. He also asked Germany and Poland, so far sitting on the sidelines, to help out, too. The war in Libya cost the US $664m up to the end of May. By the end of the year this could rise to a billion dollars. The UK is spending £6m a week.

Prostate Cancer Radiation Side Effects May Subside With Time
Latest Cancer News
TUESDAY, March 16 (HealthDay News) -- The balance between using enough radiation to shield patients from prostate cancer's return while keeping side effects at bay may not be as tricky as once thought, new research shows.
That's because radiation-linked side effects appear to lessen with time. In fact, 10 years after treatment, prostate cancer patients didn't report suffering more severe side effects after doctors boosted their radiation to levels that made tumor recurrence 50 percent less likely, researchers say.
"A surprising number of men who reported symptoms that had bothered other patients surveyed before or soon after prostate cancer treatment described their current symptoms as normal," said Dr. James Talcott of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer, who led the study, in a statement.
The study examined two dose levels used for patients with early-stage prostate cancer. The higher doses -- 79 Gy -- lowered the risk of recurring tumors by half. Of 398 participants, 280 returned surveys.
"Symptoms that seem to bother other patients early in the course of their prostate cancer were regarded as normal by these patients nearly a decade after treatment," Talcott says. "As clinicians, we know that patients adapt to their situation and accept physical changes as the 'new normal.' When talking with prostate cancer patients, I've been surprised when, for example, a patient in his late 60s who became impotent two or three years after treatment would comment, 'Well it would have happened anyway to a man my age.'
"While these results need to be confirmed, since this is just one study, it's looking like we should tell patients that treatment side effects probably will bother them less than they originally fear because they are likely to adjust and experience less distress over time," he added. "We also may need to rethink our standard measures of treatment outcomes, which assume that the impact of symptoms on patients' quality of life does not change over time. While that may be true for pain, it doesn't seem to be true for these sorts of symptoms."
The study appears in the March 17 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

According to Gartner, IBM is the biggest server supplier, although its figures were only up by 0.8 percent. In terms of IBM's portfolio, turnover with the X and P series grew by about ten percent, while System Z and System I dropped by a similar amount. Turnover at Dell, HP and Sun also grew, but Fujitsu/Fujitsu Siemens was slightly down.
Hewlett Packard defended the top spot on sales by volume, and delivered 17 percent more servers in 2007 than one year before. The Integrity series rose by an impressive 56 percent. IBM, NEC and Dell were slightly down on sales by volume.
Blade servers remain the hottest commodity with turnover up by 45 percent and volume sales by 20 percent. The losers include RISC Itanium-based Unix servers, at least on volume sales which dropped by around 14 percent compared to the previous year's figures.

I'd say I'm about a 7. I'm quiet, respectful, or at least tolerable of most people, and am usually polite, don't do stupid things etc. Being 17, some boys (and girls!) at school are SOOOOO immature, it's something I could never understand :seriousface: People tell me I sound older than I am, if that factors into maturity. I'm not prone to jealousy or childish things (except Pokemon) But based on Kura's opinion, I don't take full responsibility for my life, so that knocks me down a few points.
Oh, and being mature doesn't mean you can't have fun, I have fun, just in different ways! :D

TH‐D‐M100F‐01: An Evaluation of Noise in Radiotracer Emission Imaging Using Flat‐Panel Detectors34(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.2761701View Description Hide Description
Purpose:Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography(SPECT) onboard radiation therapy machines could enable the use of functional and molecular imaging in guiding the therapy beam and in monitoring disease. Costs and spatial constraints of onboard SPECT might be minimized if SPECT could be accomplished using the same flat‐panel detectors (FPDs) employed for onboard transmission imaging. This may require some re‐engineering of FPDs, and it is therefore important to understand the emission imaging performance of present‐day FPDs. Here we evaluate the electronic and offset‐and‐gain (OG) noise of current FPDs relative to the quantum noise characteristic of SPECTimaging.Method and Materials: A standard SPECTcollimator was placed over a FPD. A flat circular radiotracer phantom was constructed with an outer region of 18 μCi/ml and a smaller inner region of 53 μCi/ml. (Typical human dose is 1 μCi/ml.) The phantom was placed on the collimator/FPD. Large low‐frequency variations in FPD response were removed by fitting each region (no activity, low activity, high activity) of the emission image with low‐order polynomials. Noise (standard deviation) was computed within each region as a function of number of acquisition frames, enabling separate estimates of electronic, OG, and quantum noise.Results: Electronic and quantum noise were comparable at 12 times the radiotracerdoses typical of human SPECTimaging. For the particular OG correction considered, OG noise exceeded quantum noise after about 8 seconds (4 frames) of acquisition. Conclusion: For the FPD considered, electronic noise is about an order of magnitude above the quantum noise that would arise from radiotracer concentrations typical of human imaging. OG noise is also significant. These conclusions should be considered in the context of other aspects of FPD design. For example, thicker scintillators could boost emission‐imaging signal, thereby alleviating requirements on noise reduction.
TH‐D‐M100F‐02: The Development of a Realistic Digital PET Lung Phantom for the Evaluation of Tumor Volume Segmentation Techniques34(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.2761702View Description Hide Description
Purpose: A problem encountered in the development of novel tumor volume segmentation techniques for PETimages is the lack of a reliable method for evaluating their performance on clinical scans. We have developed a digital lung phantom to address this problem. Method and Materials: The three main components in the creation of the digital phantom were the voxel‐based Zubal anthropomorphic phantom, the simSET package for PET simulations and the creation of digital lesions. The Zubal phantom was used as input to the simSET software to obtain PET simulated projections and then the separately created digital lesions were fed as input to simSET to obtain lesion projections. Those were added to the Zubal phantom projections, which were then reconstructed to obtain the simulated abnormal PETlung scans. In order to test the accuracy of the digital phantom in representing real situations, the results were compared both qualitatively and quantitatively with real clinical scans. We compared image intensity histograms and statistical measures from regions of interest (ROIs) taken from the lung, the mediastinum and the tumors of both clinical and simulated cases. Results: The visual comparison of the image intensity histograms from different regions showed no significant differences in the appearance of the image intensity distributions. This was confirmed by comparing measurements of fractional standard deviation and skewness from the different regions. Adding more inhomogeneity to the digital lesions resulted in more realistic appearing lesions. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the constructed digital phantom can closely model real clinical scans. The full control over the lesion's size, shape and intensity and the activity in normal anatomy that this digital phantom offers, along with improvements that can come from the addition of motion and more inhomogeneity can make this phantom a powerful tool in the evaluation of PET segmentation methods.
TH‐D‐M100F‐03: A PET Head and Neck Tumor Delineation Approach Based On Adaptive Region‐Growing and Dual‐Front Active Contours34(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.2761703View Description Hide Description
Purpose: To present a novel, semi‐automatic hybrid method for PETtumor delineation utilizing adaptive region‐growing and dual‐front active contours. Method and Materials: The process begins when an experienced radiation oncologist manually draws a rough region of interest (ROI) that encloses a tumor. The image voxel having the highest intensity is chosen as a seed point. A region growing algorithm successively appends to the seed point all neighboring voxels whose intensities >= T% of the mean of the current region, which is updated after each voxel is added. When T varies from 100 to 0, the resulting volumes increase from a small region to the entire rough ROI. With this criterion, a sharp volume increase has been observed at certain T values. The process uses the sharp increases as landmarks that are used to define the image intensity level that is used to define the tumor boundary.
However, the tumor volume is found to be slightly larger than the anatomically defined volume possibly due to the partial volume effect. Therefore, we use a dual‐front active contour model to refine it automatically. We assign all points on the initial tumor boundary one label, and the seed point another label. Then we propagate the labeled boundaries towards each other. The evolution stops at meeting points that form the final tumor boundary. Results: A cylindrical phantom with seven hollow spheres of varying size (8–32mm) was constructed and scanned using a Siemens PET scanner under 12 various conditions. The method was tested on these 84 images with errors of volume overlap metric of 57.4% to 99.0% between the detected volumes and the actual volumes. Conclusion: This hybrid method guarantees a reproducible result for a specific image. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness, accuracy, reproducibility, and its potential usefulness in clinical radiation therapy planning.
TH‐D‐M100F‐04: A Biomechanical Phantom for Validation of Deformable Multimodality Image Algorithms34(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.2761704View Description Hide Description
Purpose: Quantitative validation of multimodality deformable registration and segmentation algorithms is a challenging problem. To address this issue, we built a deformable multimodal imaging phantom system based on a preserved swine lung and a computer controlled airflow system. Comparing to most other digital and physical phantoms, this phantom is truly deformable, MRI compatible, biologically similar to human tissues, and more representative of clinical conditions. The phantom was imaged with CT and MRI protocols and yielded high resolution benchmark images. Our goal is to utilize these benchmark images to provide realistic and robust validation of medical image processing algorithms in radiotherapy applications, including multimodal deformable image registration, segmentation, tissue, as well as 4D‐CT imaging and reconstruction methods. Method and Materials: After the preserved swine lung leakage problems were addressed, the lung was inflated using a computer controlled airflow system and then imaged. 3D‐CT and MRI scans were taken at certain tidal volumes. For 4D‐CT imaging, the lung was scanned according to 4DCT protocol (Low, Med Phys v30, p1254–63, 2003) while the airflow cycle in the lung was computer‐controlled. For demonstration, we performed deformable CT‐CT registration and CT‐MR manual fusion on the collected images. 3D‐CT images were acquired at different spatial resolutions, up to image dimension of 1024×1024×530 and voxel volume of 0.244×0.244×0.67 mm. Results: 3D‐CT images allow us to clearly identify up to the 6th airway bifurcation. MR images were also of adequate quality. Conclusion: We have built the deformable phantom system and obtained images of high resolution with 3D‐CT, 4D‐CT and MRI. The images are expected to be very useful for validation of different medical image processing algorithms. We conclude that this system is promising tool for investigating and validating deformable image algorithms for radiotherapy.
TH‐D‐M100F‐05: Online Region‐Of‐Interest Delineation of Daily Head and Neck Images34(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.2761705View Description Hide Description
Purpose: Online imaging modalities, such as cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) or CT on‐rail provide online volumetric images. A fast, automatic and robust region‐of‐interest (ROI) delineation method is highly desired in image guided radiation therapy(IGRT). We have developed such a method and tested it via segmentation of head and neck (HN) fan beam CT and CBCTimages.Material and Methods: ROIs on planning CTimages were manually delineated using commercial treatment planning system. A variational‐based deformable image registration algorithm was implemented to register planning CTimages to daily CTimages. ROIs on planning CTimages were automatically mapped to daily images using voxel matching information between planning and daily image datasets. The results were quantitatively and qualitatively validated by comparing to manual delineation. In order to accelerate computing speed, we paralleled the algorithm using message passing interface (MPI) on a Beowulf cluster with 16 processing elements (PE). Speed improvement was benchmarked. Results: The discrepancies between automatically and manually delineated ROIs on fan beam images were mostly within 2mm. Automatic segmentation of CBCTimages was acceptable by visual inspection. Benchmark results showed that paralleling efficiencies were above 95% and speedup factors were approximately equal to the number of PE used. With 16 PEs online delineation of HN images took about 1 minute. Conclusion: The online ROI delineation method we have developed is robust, fast and is suitable for HN online adaptive radiation treatments.

TH‐D‐M100F‐06: Surface Smoothing of a Tubular Structure Using a Non‐Shrinking Algorithm34(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.2761706View Description Hide Description
Purpose: The modeling of a 3D structure by interpolating a stack of 2D contours may result in an unrealistic faceted shape, even though each contour is smooth. A difficulty with geometric smoothing is that the surface can shrink after a number of iterations. This work investigates the use of a non‐shrinking smoothing algorithm in structure delineation for radiotherapytreatment planning.Materials and methods: The surface of a tubular structure is parameterized by an interpolating function using original contour data points in cylindrical coordinates. The center of the polar coordinates for each axial contour is placed on a smooth fitting function while the contour is still a single‐valued function. By interpolation the surface is re‐sampled into a set of evenly spaced vertices. In an iterative process each vertex is shifted by an average displacement vector from its neighbor vertices and scaled by a factor. Each step of iteration involves two shifts for every vertex with the scaling factor in opposite signs, in order to avoid shrinkage. The iterative process stops after a desired smoothness is achieved with all average displacement vectors smaller than a specified tolerance. This method is tested on five prostate IMRT cases. The axial contours of smoothed structure are displayed with the original contours for validation by three physicians. Results: The resulting surface appeared smooth in all projections. The physician approved the new contours for all five patients. The volume change for each structure was less than 2%. Treatment planning using smoothed CTVs and PTVs reduced the numbers of MU and MLC segments by 8 – 11%. Conclusions: A technique was developed for smoothing a structuresurface constructed using 2D contours. The calculation was fast for 3D contouring. Our planning results suggested that unrealistically irregular target shapes can have adverse effects on dose conformity and delivery efficiency.
TH‐D‐M100F‐07: Topology Preserving Diffusion Registration Incorporating with Gradient Orientation Information34(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.2761707View Description Hide Description
Purpose: The goal of this study was to develop an image intensity‐based diffusion registration algorithm that can be used for reliable automatic delineation of anatomical structures on daily CTimages. The constraint of the topology preservation method used in this algorithm ensures that the transformations are reliable and accurate. Method and Materials: To achieve accurate deformable image registration using a diffusion‐based method, we proposed to incorporate the gradient orientation information into the driving force in diffusion registration. This is similar to the symmetric force in the demons algorithm. We also introduced to use the positive Jacobian constraint, which is the fundamental requirement for topology preservation, as a guideline to determine the smoothing parameter in the diffusion algorithm to ensure that a realistic registration can be achieved. The planning contours were mapped onto the daily CTimage using the displacement field after the deformable image registration. The contour mapping serves as a validation of the algorithm proposed in this study. The performance of the proposed algorithm for register 3D CTimages of prostate and head and neck cancer patients were evaluated by visually assessing the agreement of the anatomical structures with deformed contours in target image.Results: The contours deformed with the topology preservation method are more accurate segmentation of the anatomical structures, compared to a similar method without this constraint. The positivity of Jacobian provided a way to evaluate the performance of the registration and to serve as guidance for selecting smoothing parameters. Conclusion: We proposed a diffusion registration algorithm incorporated with the intensity gradient information and the positive Jacobian constraint that ensures the transformations to topologically preservation of anatomical structures. Compared to demons algorithm, the proposed algorithm is more computational efficient and accurate, especially for prostate CTimages registration.

TH‐D‐M100F‐08: Development and Evaluation of An Automatic Contour Propagation Method for 4D Radiotherapy34(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.2761708View Description Hide Description
Purpose: To develop and evaluate automatic contour propagation method for 4D radiotherapyMethod and Materials: 4D CTimages of one lungcancer patient and dynamic phantom images were acquired and resorted into ten respiratory phases. Demons deformable registration was performed to find the deformation field from the end‐exhale fixed phase to moving phases such as the end‐inhale phase. Regions of interest (ROIs) were contoured in the fixed phase with the Pinnacle3treatment planning system. The planar parallel contours were reconstructed as the 3D binary mask image data which has zero value outside and non‐zero value inside of the 3D outline of contouring. The 3D contour image data were transformed to another moving phase using the deformation field from the image registration result. On each 2D plane the binary image boundary was found to trace the closed intersection points. To assess the quality of the automatic contour propagation method, the contour for the moving phase was delineated manually. Visual inspection between the contour propagation and manual contour was performed as the qualitative evaluation. Two indices were used as the quantitative examination. One was the match index to indicate how well two contour sets match each other. The other was volume difference evaluation between two contour sets. Results: The demons deformable registration results show good alignment for both the phantom and the patient. The match index between manual and automatic contouring ranged from 0.96 to 0.99 for the dynamic phantom and from 0.95 to 0.99 for the lung patient. The volume differences were between 0.75 and 2.97 percent for the dynamic phantom and between 1.50 and 7.32 percent for the lung patient. Conclusions: The proposed automatic contour propagation method is simple and feasible without surface construction. It is a variable method for defining the ROIs for large amount of 4DCT data sets.
TH‐D‐M100F‐09: Ultrasound‐Guided Prostate IMRT Planning: An Ultrasound‐CT Application34(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.2761709View Description Hide Description
Purpose: The prostate contours drawn by physicians on CTimages tend to overestimate the real volume due to the poor contrast between the prostate and the surrounding soft tissues. The aim of this study was to utilize ultrasound (US)‐CT to guide a more accurate prostate segmentation for prostate IMRT planning. Method and Materials: In US‐CT modality, the ultrasound system (Restitu™, Resonant Medical System, Montreal, Canada) was integrated with CT‐Sim through an optic camera system, which was calibrated to the intersection point of wall lasers of CT‐Sim and was able to trace the position of ultrasound probe in real‐time. Thus, for each patient, the CT scan and ultrasound scan can take place at the same position and almost the same time. After compensating for the mechanical inaccuracy of CT‐sim and the image distortion of 3‐D USimages due to inconsistent ultrasound wave propagation speed in different tissue types, 3‐D CT and 3‐D USimages can be superimposed together naturally, since they share the same spatial coordinate system. Thus, the prostate contour drawn on 3‐D Ultrasoundimages can be transferred into CTimages for IMRT planning. Results: Five patients underwent 3‐D US‐CT scan in this study. First, a physician contoured the target volumes and surrounding critical organs on CTimages. Then the prostate was contoured on USimages for comparison. The fused US‐CT images revealed that the discrepancy between the prostate volume drawn on CTimages and ultrasoundimages takes place mostly at the lateral surface of prostate and the interface between prostate and rectum. The volume of the prostate drawn on USimages is 30%∼50% less than that obtained from CT.Conclusion: Ultrasound‐CT, a new multi‐modality imaging system, has a potential to provide a more accurate prostate anatomy definition for prostate IMRT planning thereby reducing radiation dose to surrounding critical structures.

A Better Life for the Developing World's Self-Employed
With high levels of self-employment in developing countries (see our recent blog "Self-Employment and Subsistence Entrepreneurs?"), policy makers are weighing various types of interventions to reduce poverty and improve productivity. The options for them fall into two key categories: (1) helping raise the returns for the self-employed in the activities and sectors where they are now; and (2) helping move them from self-employment into higher paying wage jobs. In this blog, we share the perspectives of three experts: David Margolis (Research Director, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, University of Paris), Tim Gindling, (Professor of Economics, University of Maryland), and Gary Fields (Professor of Economics, Cornell University).
How to Break the Curse of Unemployment: Jobs First or Skills First?
Some Skills should Come Before Jobs, Others Develop with the Job
To be clear from the onset: I will not oversimplify the unemployment (or inactivity) problem in the Western Balkan countries as solely due to a lack of skills in the population. Low employment rates result from both insufficient creation of jobs by enterprises and too-high a fraction of the workforce that is ill-equipped to take on the jobs that a modern economy creates. Both issues are intertwined. Solutions, therefore, require efforts on several fronts to enable a more vibrant private sector –including improvements in the business environment, enterprise restructuring, integration in global markets and promoting entrepreneurship— as well as to prepare workers for new job opportunities.
Raising the Game to Deliver Pro-Poor Growth for Bangladesh
Bangladesh has set an ambitious goal to become a middle-income country by 2021—the year it celebrates the 50th anniversary of its independence. Equally important to achieving the coveted middle income status is making sure that all Bangladeshis share in the accelerated growth required to achieve this goal, particularly the poor. The Government of Bangladesh's Vision 2021 and the associated Perspective Plan 2010-2021 lay out a series of development targets that must be achieved if Bangladesh wants to transform itself to a middle income country. Among the core targets used to monitor the progress towards this objective is attaining a poverty head-count rate of 14 percent by 2021. Assuming population growth continues to decline at the same rate as during the 2000-2010 period, achieving this poverty target implies lifting approximately 15 million people out of poverty in the next 8 years. Can Bangladesh achieve this target? Not necessarily so. A simple continuation of the policies and programs that have proven successful in delivering steady growth and poverty reduction in the past decade will not be sufficient to achieve the poverty target set for 2021.
Why Jobs Need to Come Before Skills
The Western Balkans Case
When I travel to the Balkans for work, the journey typically begins with a cab ride to the airport from my home in Vienna. The taxi company I use is run and operated by Serbs living in Austria. It's a great company: very reliable, clean cars and friendly drivers who are always keen to discuss the politics and economics of the Balkans. When I arrive in Belgrade, I'm picked up by drivers who have very similar skills to those of their compatriots in Vienna. However, the former have better salaries and opportunities simply because the company they work for operates in an environment that is much more conducive to nurturing and growing a business. In Austria, unlike in Serbia, a company can operate efficiently, is subject to a relatively fair tax treatment and knows the industry standards it needs to comply with. In turn, this explains to a large extent why workers, at any given levels of skills, are more productive in Austria – a basic intuition which William Lewis develops in his book The Power of Productivity, projecting the gains that Mexican construction workers make when moving to the USA.
Self-Employment and Subsistence Entrepreneurs?
More than half of all workers in the developing world are self-employed, mainly in agriculture. But unlike in the developed world, self-employment is typically because of constraints (like a lack of available wage jobs) – not by choice. In other words, it's a question of survival. In this blog, we share the thoughts of three experts on the challenges these people face: Gary Fields (Professor of Economics, Cornell University), David Margolis (Research Director, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, University of Paris), and Tim Gindling, (Professor of Economics, University of Maryland).
Can commuting costs increase welfare? Israeli checkpoints and the 'Thailandiyas': Guest post by Alexei Abrahams
This is the third in our series of posts by students on the job market this year.
Puzzling Results:
Economists tend to believe that travel and trade costs reduce welfare. Trade papers like Irwin (2005), Redding & Sturm (2008), Storeygard (2014), and Etkes & Zimring (2014) draw on evidence from the United States, West Germany, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Gaza Strip to support this idea. One might reasonably expect, therefore, that the welfare of Palestinian commuters declined during the Second Palestinian Uprising (2000-2007), when the Israeli army deployed hundreds of roadblocks and checkpoints along the West Bank's internal road network in order to defend Israeli civilian settlements. Although these obstacles were intended to deter and intercept militants, they had the unintended consequence of delaying Palestinian civilian travel between Palestinian towns, and from Palestinian towns to Israel (B'Tselem (2007), World Bank (2007)). Two World Bank working papers (Cali & Miaari (2014), van der Weide et al (2014)) take advantage of this 'natural experiment' to study the effects of travel costs on commuters' welfare, finding that economic outcomes of Palestinians declined in the face of obstacle deployment. My job market paper, however, finds a very different result: while obstacles reduced the welfare of laborers in some towns, laborers from other towns actually benefited from obstacles. The salient outcome of obstacle deployment was not welfare reduction, but rather welfare inequality.
Inclusive Growth as the Path Toward Sustainable Development: A New Initiative on 'Equality of Opportunity in Global Prosperity'
The correlation is simple: Job creation is the hinge connecting the three pivotal elements of economic development: living standards, productivity gains, and social cohesion. Promoting access to the labor market for all, including traditionally marginalized groups, is therefore paramount to achieving real, sustainable growth.
Following the success story of "Women, Business and the Law," which focuses on legislative gender discrimination and its impact on the economy, the World Bank Group is now launching a new initiative that will develop a set of indicators measuring discriminatory legislation on the basis of racial and ethnic origin, religion and sexual orientation. The project was presented externally for the first time on November 11 by Federica Saliola, Program Manager and Task Team Leader of the project, speaking at Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity & Development: International Human and Economic Development, LGBT Rights and Related Fields conference, organized by The Williams Institute at UCLA.
In her speech, Ms. Saliola reminded the audience that, despite the rapid growth in emerging economies, not all sectors of society have benefitted equally, income inequality has risen, and 1 billion people are still left under the poverty line. In the coming three years, the new project will thus expand the knowledge base of laws, regulations and institutions that discriminate against ethnic, racial, religious and sexual minorities and will collect data across a number of economies covered by the Global Indicators Group.
We Children Can Help Other Children Too

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks, J.J. Putz agree to one-year extension
The Arizona Diamondbacks and closer J.J. Putz have agreed to a one-year contract extension, the team announced Monday.
The extension, coupled with the option the team exercised in October, will keep the reliever under contract through the 2014 season.
"J.J. has provided much-needed leadership and stability for our bullpen the last two years," said D-backs GM Kevin Towers in a press release. "He has been an integral piece and helped set the foundation for our bullpen's turnaround so we are excited to have him in place the next two seasons."
Putz, 35, posted a 1-5 record with a 2.82 ERA in 2012. He saved 32 games and struck out 65 batters in 54.1 innings of work.
Putz joined the D-backs prior to the 2011 season, when he went on to be one of the best closers on one of the league's best teams. He saved 45 games that year, and had an ERA of just 2.17 in 58 innings of work.
"I'm very happy to be a member of the great D-backs organization and family though 2014," said Putz in the press release. "It's special to be with my family year round so we're all really excited."
Putz, who has also pitched for the Mariners, Mets and White Sox, has a career ERA of 3.04 with 183 saves.

Maria Sharapova Asian Handicap +4.50 in ordinary time at odds 1.85

Last settled tips
- Tips in League 1524
- Yield in League -0.95 %
I'll try here with Maria Sharapova in handicap games. 4.5 games on her in my opinion should be enough for us to make decent profit. What more my opinion is that Russian girl will have decent chance in this match maybe even to win.<br />
I have watched yesterday Serena in QF match against Petra Kvitova and honestly I was very disappointed with performance from American. Kvitova has missed great chance to beat Serena. If Williams don't improve a lot today, then Sharapova really will have good chance in this match. She is mentally much stronger then Kvitova and I doubt Sharapova will fail if she find her self in same almost wining situation like Kvitova.
More tips for this match

/ Succession Planning in Family Businesses
Succession Planning in Family Businesses
Issue date:
21 April 2010
Significant start up investment over the past 20 years has contributed to family owned businesses now accounting for around 67% of all UK companies. A researcher at the University of the West of England's Bristol Business School is interested to find out more about the long term planning of such businesses.
Dr Lorna Collins is working in partnership with Veale Wasbrough Vizards, a law firm based in Bristol and London with expertise in family law, on a project to investigate the governance, scope, scale and strategy of first generation family businesses. This will include a survey of around 5,000 businesses that will form part of a longitudinal study spanning three years.
Nicholas Smith, Head of the Family Business Team at Veale Wasbrough Vizards, commented, "I am thrilled that we are working in partnership with the University of the West of England on this project. We have acted for over 1,000 family businesses in the last five years and we recognise that there is very little information on this vital sector of the UK's economy. We are proud to be pioneering quality research into the family business sector and we are confident that the survey will provide interesting and useful information on family businesses.The more information we have the better the firm will be equipped to support our family owned business clients."
Dr Collins explains, "I am interested to find out more about how family businesses are run and how strategic they are with regard to handing over the business to second and third generations. We have over the past 20 years seen significant government support for start ups. As a result it is logical that many of these businesses will be reaching a critical stage where the original Directors need to think about long term viability and setting up structures and systems to support this.
"If a family business has set up and survived then the hard bit has been achieved. The research project will find out what help is needed to assist family businesses in transferring to the next generation. There are various issues that we anticipate are likely to cause problems such as variable interest and ability amongst family members with a stake in a given business.
"Complex lawsuits can occur if succession planning is done badly and not least families can find that they become embroiled in conflict that could easily be avoided with professional assistance. This can be disastrous for the business as well as for the families concerned. It's a complex issue and this scoping study will enable us to come up with possible suggestions regarding education and government policy support mechanisms.
"There are few courses in the UK that specialise in training for family businesses and I believe that this is an area that will shortly need significant investment to ensure that successful start ups can gain access to support that will help see their businesses grow in the future."
In 2006 it was estimated family businesses contributed over £400 billion of the £1,000 billion GDP in the private sector. They contributed £47 billion per annum in taxes which is almost 10% of total UK tax receipts.
Dr Collins concludes, "This is a significant contribution to the UK GDP and not an area that we can afford nationally to fall into crisis because ignorance about important strategic considerations have been sidelined or swept under the carpet."
The project started in April and will run for the next three years.

Space Godzilla was able to survive a supernova. Supernovas are giant explosions that occur after a sun dies. Our sun is 1.3 million of times bigger than the Earth. There are also stronger versions of Godzilla IIRC so Godzilla beats Hulk.

Hesei and and some of the millionium Godzillas ( particularly FW) rlly don't need the star unless u want Godzilla to have an extra edge, and what ppl don't understand about those 2 Godzillas is that they have similar atributes and abilities to both the hulks, and Godzilla has also obliterated nearly invulnerable and rapid regen ( destroyuh), and another thing burning Godzilla ( end of hesei) if they didn't freeze his ass he would of created another big bang( wiping out everythingin existence), and dont forgot about Godzilla has very good precognition and fast reflexes which this can be seen when he fights opponents that are way more faster then him( rodan fs mach3, mothra(gmk) fs mach 3, monster x was extremely fast melee fighter and had fast reflexes, and most quick foe was megaguiras fs mach 3.

in response to kellylee
Hello kellylee,
I was researching the issue you are experiencing and came across an article that I feel would be helpful in isolating where the issue is happening. It is called Isolating issues in Mac OS X found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1388.
You want to start here and work your way down if needed.
Is it a software or hardware issue?
Pay attention to important clues.
- If the issue seems specific to a certain application or Mac OS X feature, troubleshoot software before hardware.
- If the issue occurs as the computer starts up--unless the computer does not turn on at all-- troubleshoot software before hardware.
- For other issues, or when software troubleshooting does not produce a resolution, use the rest of this document.
Take care,

May 24, 2012 Dozens of federal mine safety inspectors descended into 43 coal mines in three Appalachian states Wednesday. The mines are now owned by Alpha Natural Resources, which absorbed Massey Energy after a 2010 mine disaster in West Virginia.
April 5, 2012 On April 5, 2010, an explosion killed 29 men at the Upper Big Branch mine. Today, families will remember those who died. Meanwhile, some are pressing a lawsuit against executives of the company that ran the mine. Its new owners are sealing the mine.
March 29, 2012 The plea from the former superintendent of the Upper Big Branch coal mine in West Virginia is a key step in the effort to seek criminal charges further up the corporate ladder at Massey Energy.
March 29, 2012 Gary May is the highest-ranking Massey Energy official so far charged after an investigation into operations at the mine where a blast killed 29 men in April 2010.
March 27, 2012 The agency argued the operator's intentional evasion of the law was to blame for the mine blast.
Mine helmets and painted crosses sat at the entrance to Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch coal mine on April 5, as a memorial to the 29 miners killed there one year earlier.

February 29, 2012 Hughie Stover was convicted in October of lying to investigators and attempting to destroy evidence during the federal criminal investigation into the Upper Big Branch mine explosion, the nation's worst mine disaster in 40 years.
February 13, 2012 The members of the team spent 20 months away from their homes before releasing a final report in December. But the tour of the White House will be self-guided.
January 10, 2012 The task was emotionally charged, because it amounted to putting a price tag on the lives of coal miners killed in the country's deadliest mine disaster.
December 6, 2011 Twenty-nine men were killed in the April 2010 disaster. Former Massey Energy executives could still face criminal charges. Also today, one of the company's subsidiaries was fined $10.8 million — the biggest such fine ever.
October 28, 2011 The U.S. Attorney for West Virginia tells the Charleston Gazette that prosecutors are exploring more serious charges against senior Massey Energy officials in last year's deadly explosion at the company's Upper Big Branch mine.
October 26, 2011 Former Massey Energy security chief Hughie Stover was found guilty of trying to destroy evidence in the investigation of last year's deadly explosion at the company's Upper Big Branch coal mine.

June 1, 2011 Massey Energy, which operated the West Virginia mine where 29 men died last year, is being absorbed by Alpha Natural Resources.
May 31, 2011 While the mining company says the allegation is "at best frivolous," the court documents filed by some institutional investors claim Alpha Natural Resources' takeover of the company would shield Massey executives from liability.

Is Religion 'Built Upon Lies'?
Best-selling atheist Sam Harris and pro-religion blogger Andrew Sullivan debate God, faith, and fundamentalism.
Continued from page 7
"This is the ancient and unchanging faith of the Church"-of course it does change a little from time to time. Being bogus to a remarkable degree, it has to. The fact that the current pope freely uses terms like "reason" and "truth" does not at all guarantee that he is on good terms with the former, or would recognize the latter if it bit him. Starting with the (utterly unjustified) premise that one of your books is an infallible guide to reality is not a particularly promising approach to inquiry-be it physical, ethical, or spiritual.
Please consider how differently we treat scientific texts and discoveries, no matter how profound: Isaac Newton spent the period between the summer of 1665 and the spring of 1667 working in isolation and dodging an outbreak of plague that was laying waste to the pious men and women of England. When he emerged from his solitude, he had invented the differential and integral calculus, established the field of optics, and discovered the laws of motion and universal gravitation. Many scientists consider this to be the most awe-inspiring display of human intelligence in the history of human intelligence. Over three hundred years have passed, and one still has to be exceptionally well-educated to fully appreciate the depth and beauty of Newton's achievement. But no one doubts that Newton's work was the product of merely human effort, conceived and accomplished by a mortal-and a very unpleasant mortal at that. And yet, literally billions of our neighbors deem the contents of the Bible and the Qur'an to be so profound as to rule out the possibility of terrestrial authorship. Given the breadth and depth of human achievement, this seems an almost miraculous misappropriation of awe. It took two centuries of continuous ingenuity to substantially improve upon Newton's work. How difficult would it be to improve the Bible? It would be trivially easy, in fact. You and I could upgrade this "inerrant" text-scientifically, historically, ethically, and yes, spiritually-in this email exchange.
Consider the possibility of improving the Ten Commandments. This would appear to be setting the bar rather high, as these are the only passages in the Bible that the Creator of the universe felt the need to physically write himself. But take a look good look at commandment #2. No graven images? Doesn't this seem like something less than the-second-most-important-point-upon-which-to- admonish-all-future-generations-of-human-beings? Remember those Muslims who recently rioted by the hundreds of thousands over cartoons? Many people wondered just what got them so riled up. Well, here it is. Was all that pious mayhem nothing more than egregious, medieval stupidity? Yes, come to think of it, it was nothing more than egregious, medieval stupidity. Almost any precept we'd put in place of this prohibition against graven images would augment the wisdom of the Bible (Don't pretend to know things you don't know? Don't mistreat children? Avoid trans fats?). Could we live with all the resulting problems due to proliferating graven images? We'd manage-somehow.

Kwalitee Fails
Core metrics
These fails do affect your Kwalitee scores. This distribution may not be installed cleanly, or may have some issues in license or documentation. Please consider fixing them, or tell us if they are false.
|has proper version
The version number isn't a number. It probably contains letter besides a leading 'v', which it shouldn't
Remove all letters from the version number. If you want to mark a release as a developer release, use the scheme 'Module-1.00_01'
|no broken module install
This distribution uses an obsolete version of Module::Install. Versions of Module::Install prior to 0.61 might not work on some systems at all. Additionally if your Makefile.PL uses the 'auto_install()' feature, you need at least version 0.64. Also, 1.04 is known to be broken.
Upgrade the bundled version of Module::Install to the most current release. Alternatively, you can switch to another build system / installer that does not suffer from this problem. (ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build both of which have their own set of problems.)
|has license in source file
Does not have license information in any of its source files
Add =head1 LICENSE and the text of the license to the main module in your code.
|has abstract in pod
No abstract (short description of a module) is found in pod from this distribution.
Provide a short description in the NAME section of the pod (after the module name followed by a hyphen) at least for the main module of this distribution.
|package version matches dist version
None of the package versions in this distribution matches the distribution version.
Fix the version(s).
Extra metrics
These fails affect your total Kwalitee score, but don't affect the one for the Game. Some of them should be fixed by all means. Others are just matters of taste.
|meta yml declares perl version
This distribution does not declare the minimum perl version in META.yml.
If you are using Build.PL define the {requires}{perl} = VERSION field. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.48 and use MIN_PERL_VERSION parameter. Perl::MinimumVersion can help you determine which version of Perl your module needs.
|has known license in source file
Does not have license information in any of its source files, or the information is not recognized by Software::License
Add =head1 LICENSE and/or the proper text of the well-known license to the main module in your code.
|is prereq
This distribution is not required by another distribution by another author.
Convince / force / bribe another CPAN author to use this distribution.
Experimental metrics
These fails are not serious and don't affect your Kwalitee scores at all.
|meta yml has provides
This distribution does not have a list of provided modules defined in META.yml.
Add all modules contained in this distribution to the META.yml field 'provides'. Module::Build or Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaProvides do this automatically for you.
|meta yml has repository resource
This distribution does not have a link to a repository in META.yml.
Add a 'repository' resource to the META.yml via 'meta_add' accessor (for Module::Build) or META_ADD parameter (for ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
|build prereq matches use
This distribution uses a module or a dist in its test suite that's not listed as a build prerequisite.
List all modules used in the test suite in META.yml build_requires
