Amazon.com Review
Unfortunately, since the Germans had equal access to the classics--"Reference books," Marks quips, "are jackboots when used by cryptographers"--Marks thought agents should write their own poems (or use his) instead, several of which are cheerily obscene. After all, no son or daughter of the Fatherland could ever know the rest of a verse that began "Is de Gaulle's prick / Twelve inches thick," and continued on in a similar, shall we say, vein. But Marks soon felt that original doggerel was just as dangerous, since even slight misspellings could render messages indecipherable and risk agents' lives. His first solution? WOKs (worked-out keys) printed on silk. An operative would use one key, send the message, and immediately tear off the strip. Marks had a hard time proving that swaths of silk would save his people from swallowing their "optional extra," a cyanide pill. His efforts were dead serious, but often landed him in comic terrain.
In one of the book's great set pieces, Marks visits Colonel Wills--surely the model for Ian Fleming's Q--in order to sort out the best ways to print his code keys. Before solving this minor problem (invisible ink!), Wills showed Marks several new projects--one of which involves an exotic array of dung, courtesy of the London Zoo. This gifted gadgetmeister planned to model life-sized reproductions of these droppings and pack them with explosives, personalized for all parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. "Once trodden on or driven over (hopefully by the enemy) the whole lot would go off with a series of explosions even more violent than the ones which had produced it," Marks explains.
Despite such larky sentences and sections, the author never loses sight of the importance of his vocation, and Between Silk and Cyanide is as elegiac as it is engaging. Marks knows when to cut the laugh track, particularly as his book becomes a despairing record of agents blown--lost to torture, prison, the camps, and execution. Readers will never forget the valor of Violette Szabo, Noor Inayat Kahn, and the White Rabbit himself, Flight Lieutenant Yeo-Thomas. Poem-cracking, as Marks again and again makes clear, was far more than a parlor game. --Kerry Fried

It is March right
So I am at a convenience store yesterday, picking up a nice fresh java, a guy sees my truck, next thing I know flagging me down not to leave and starts asking me about decorating a tree at his home this year. Go figure, I was headed to look at a driveway excavation project and got asked about holiday lighting, in March. Wow and I was afraid the service would not work here.

Walt Whitman + Peter Doyle by MeteoDesignsWatch
©2009-2016 MeteoDesigns
Walt Whitman is one of the most celebrated poets in American history. With his book Leaves of Grass, he aimed to write the great American epic, and worked on revisions of it throughout his life. The homoeroticism in his work caused some to label it obscene, but others were deeply inspired by his sensual, earthy poems celebrating the human body and the material world. Whitman met bus conductor Peter Doyle, who said of their first encounter: We were familiar at once I put my hand on his knee we understood.

Abstract: The use of biodiversity scenarios to evaluate the implication of different socio-economic pathways on biodiversity is becoming increasingly common, yet there has been no major attempt to validate models used for projections against observed trends, therefore there is little indication on the reliability ofthese scenario projections. Additionally, there have been very few attempts to project policy-relevant biodiversity indicators such as the Red List Index and the Living Planet Index, and all of these applied to small taxonomic groups or small geographical regions. To address these gaps we compared 3 scenarios of land use and climate change from the Rio+20 study in terms of their impacts on all terrestrial mammals, quantified using the Living Planet Index and the Red List Index. A baseline scenario projecting present demographic and socio-economic trends and 2 mitigation scenarios aimed at achieving the Aichi 2020 targets for biodiversity. We validated our models by comparing observed past trends from 1970 to the present and modelled projections over the same time-period (hindcasts). We show that, contrary to previous studies which used different biodiversity indicators, the mitigation scenarios do not meet theAichi 2020 targets. We also discuss pros and cons of RLI and LPI in the context of informing policy decisions. We conclude by suggesting ways forward to measure biodiversity impacts of future socio-economic scenarios.
Biography: Piero did his PhD at James Cook University with Prof. Bob Pressey, looking at improved methods to schedule conservation actions through time (dynamic conservation planning). He then moved back to Rome, his home-town, to join the Global Mammal Assessment program, working on scenarios of mammal conservation but also collaborating on projects spanning from red-listing to population biology and macro-ecology. He is now at Microsoft Computational Ecology and Environmental Science, continuing his work on global biodiversity scenarios as well as starting new projects bringing together ecology, technology and crowdsourcing (harnessing the public to gather and interpret data) to address scientific questions and conservation challenges.

Re: Seward to katmai
When you say Katmai I am assuming that you mean Brooks Camp in Katmai National Park? Not from Seward, but there are air taxi providers in Soldotna, Nikiski and Homer that have commercial use permits to operate within the park (more info available here: nps.gov/akso/management/conc.... You can fly commercial flights (seat fare) from Anchorage to King Salmon and then charter from there - that is likely less expensive than a charter from the Kenai Peninsula but you should check around to be sure.
I haven't hiked much around Seward but I would recommend the Exit Glacier Trail leading up to the Harding Ice Field.

Re: Seward to katmai
If you are asking if it is possible to get off of a cruise ship and travel the 300+ air miles from Seward to Katmai national park, have time to do anything but hit the restroom and get back on the return flight back to Seward to be able to catch your cruise ship, NO. As for hiking around Seward, there are plenty of places to go. Exit glacier trail is extraordinary in it's beauty, but is quite a few miles from seward. You would either have to rent a car or get ride from a tour company if they go there. It takes a long time to get anywhere in Alaska because of the distances between places. Most people don't understand the vastness of Alaska. If you want to go to Katmai, you should go to the city of King Salmon and book a tour from there. The "valley of ten thousand smokes" is breath taking, but not easy to get to. Adjust your schedule accordingly. I sincerely hope that you make your way to Katmai. The pristine beauty is worth the extra time and effort.

A singleplayer horror experience for UT2004! Make your way through a decimated town overrun by blood-thirsty zombies! Powerful firearms and brutal melee weapons are at your disposal as you cut and cleave through over 20 grimy and blood-soaked maps!
This mod is a pretty amazing attempt at a survival zombie themed mod, it seems almost every engine spawns its own zombie based versions.
The visuals are so inspiring, you can tell the creator pulled every trick in the book to make this as engrossing as possible. It's like stepping into a new game. Way better than anything you'll find for UT2004 or FPS Creator.
It takes some notes from Silent Hill like melee combat being atrociously difficult, you have this wimpy pocket knife that takes maybe 10-15 slices to even get them off their feet but they can kill you in maybe 4-5 hits depending on how high you are above 100hp.
I did not find it all that scary, even with all the gore and rotting corpses & tense atmosphere. I find that after killing the first 2 the fear factor melts away almost completely like clockwork. I think its because to do zombie survival, you need a open world where its possible to get overrun bu several or even 20-30 zombies.. all these small encounters does not give you the sense of a impending doom.
+Visuals are so dirty and gritty, smoke clouds, leaves, crows, dead bodies and blood smeared. It looks and feels like a world gone to hell.
+Ammo is scarce so you have to aim true
+Some zombies use guns, unexpected and adds a bit more danger
+Quite long at just over 4 hours
-Zombie walking sounds are this squelching sound that really annoys me
-Melee combat is so useless you really shouldn't bother, tons of hits and you end up just sacrificing your precious health
-When you die you start from the beginning of the map, to call it hard is a bit of a understatement, with no difficulty levels expect to get frustrated.
-Story is well, I don't really like to much. You may get more out of it but I was underwhelmed after many hours of play.
-It's not really scary, except for 2 jump scares the mod never made me paranoid or nervous to play it. I just had to stick to using guns.
Several times throughout my playthrough, I got stuck and had to restart the whole map. Aside from this frustration, the mod commits the ultimate crime a horror-themed game can, it wasn't scary. Not once did I jump, not once was I seriously unnerved despite the ridiculous amount of gore and carnage the mod had me stumble across. However, this game was an obvious labor of love for the developer. The visuals are stunning for the engine and the weapons are satisfying to use. Overall, this mod deserves a try from everyone who owns ut2004.

Alex Danson and England will go for Commonwealth Games gold against Australia tomorrow
John Boyman, Sports Reporter / / Sport
ODIHAM hockey star Alex Danson will win at least a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games after helping England to a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over New Zealand in the semi-final this afternoon.
The Kiwis had the better of the first half but it was England who led at the break after Danson squared the ball for Lily Owsley to open the scoring from close range.
That looked set to be the only goal of the game, but when Danson was shown a yellow card and forced to sit out the closing stages, New Zealand took advantage.
Katie Glynn levelled the game with less than three minutes to play, while Stacey Michelsen hit the post in the dying seconds.
England forced a late penalty-corner, but the Black Sticks kept them out to force the game to penalty shots.
Danson was successful in the shoot-out as England came through to win it 3-1 and secure a place in tomorrow's final (8.15pm), where they will face Australia, who beat South Africa 7-1 in the other semi.

Beer Drinking Habits
When it comes to beer, Durango is the place. Durango has many micro-breweries making and serving a wide variety of brews. If you like beer do not visit Durango without trying a few of its local flavors. I suggest Ska Brewing Co (most local restaurants and all local liquor stores carry varieties of Ska). If you get a chance stop by their brewery and tasting room. My faves of Ska are Buster Nut Brown and True Blonde. Other brands to try are Durango Brewing Company, Steamworks Brewing Company and Carver's Brewing Company. The locals typically drink the local beer.

- Beer Tasting
Land not for sale
The plot of land to the far left of the picture was almost zoned for a housing development. The locals were divided on whether to allow it or not. In the end, it failed by one vote and no houses were built. Looking at this picture, I'd have to say that's a good thing
Indian artifacts
The area was once inhabited by the Pueblo indians and many artifacts remain in the area. According to local or state law (Im not sure as this is how it was relayed to me) those who find artifacts on their property are allowed to keep them. This law, or policy, has caused a great deal of dissent.
Please, please, PLEASE don't jaywalk! It is dangerous and inconsiderate to the drivers on Main Ave! The street is crowded enough as it is without having to dodge jaywalkers every 1/4 block! So please, don't jaywalk, even if you see someone else do it!
I am a delivery driver for a restaurant on Main Ave, so I am acutely aware of this problem!
Tourist 'Season'
A common practice for us Durango natives is to drive down Main Street and see if we can pick the tourists from people who live here. The funny thing is that it's ridiculously easy sometimes! Try not to stick out and if you succeed, you win the game! Avid out of town players might even start in the game themselves, pointing out the more obvious tourists!
Durango is a mountain bike...
Durango is a mountain bike mecca. The March 2001 issue of the magazine Mountain Bike said that, *For any mountain biker who believes in heaven, Durango is it. It simply doesn't get any better.* (Just thought I'd let all you bikers out there know this.) July 13-15, 2001 was the 30th anniversary of The Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, one of the longest continuous running races in the United States, with a consistent participant number of 2,000. More information (970) 259-4621 or check their website.
The Tissot-UCI Mountain Bike...
The Tissot-UCI Mountain Bike Cup is a series of sixteen races, eight cross-country and eight downhill/dual, that are held around the world. According to the UCI website
Durango has been called the mountain biking 'mecca' of the United States and was the site of the first UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in 1990. There are numerous past and present World and National Champions that call Durango home. There are links on this site to the current world standings.

A Useful Genetic Test?
What is the ApoE gene? I hear it predicts Alzheimer's disease and heart disease. I have a family history of both. Should I be tested?
Answer (Published 3/11/2008)
ApoE is short for apolipoprotein E. The ApoE gene provides the instructions for making this protein, which is responsible for transporting cholesterol through the bloodstream. There are at least three different versions of the gene: ApoE2, 3 and 4. But since you receive a version (allele) of the gene from each of your parents, your own version could be a combination of a 2 and a 3 (2/3 or E2/E3) or a 2 and a 4 (2/4 or E2/E4) and so on.

Having two copies of ApoE2 seems to increase the risk of premature vascular disease, while having one or two copies of ApoE4 is associated with an increased risk of late-onset Alzheimer's. Most people, about 62 percent of the U.S. population, carry ApoE3 genotype, which tells you nothing about your risk of either disease. That doesn't mean that you're safe - just that if you do get either disease, something other than your ApoE gene may be to blame.
ApoE genotyping is available. All that's required is having some blood drawn (no fasting beforehand is needed). But the test results won't tell you for sure that you will or won't get either disease or even the extent of your risk. You could have ApoE 2/2, signifying a higher than normal risk of premature vascular disease, but never develop it. Or you could develop the disease and not have the ApoE 2/2 alleles. Similarly, you could have ApoE4 alleles, indicating a higher risk of late onset Alzheimer's and never get the disease. With all these diseases, ApoE is not the only influence at work.
Physicians may recommend ApoE genotyping to see if there's a genetic component to a cholesterol or triglyceride problem that hasn't responded to treatment. The test is sometimes used to help in diagnosis of late-onset Alzheimer's - it may show that the high-risk alleles are present in someone with dementia, strengthening medical suspicion that Alzheimer's is the problem. But these results alone are never diagnostic of the disease.
If you are tested and found to have an allele that indicates a high risk of Alzheimer's or heart disease, you may be able to change your odds through diet. Pamela McDonald, WHCNP, FA, FNP, an integrated nurse practitioner in San Francisco and a graduate of my Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, has had success in reducing symptoms, like high cholesterol, by matching diet to a person's specific allele. Her book, The Apo E Gene Diet: A Breakthrough in Changing Cholesterol, Weight, Heart and Alzheimer's Disease Using the Body's Own Genes, describes nutritional plans for each ApoE genotype. I recommend it.

omg i just understood the joke in his name being baron bones =.= im more late than a white rabbit
when i look at this i think huey from bondocks
I read your comic and I think it's awesome. I'm trying to get some stuff started myself. Got any pointers?
I read your comic and I think it's awesome. I'm trying to get some stuff started myself. Got any pointers?
thanks man. Uhh best advice I can give is just to get started and keep moving with it. Self motivation is the hardest thing usually, so just make sure you're having fun and working hard and things should go well and you'll be learning a ton as you go too!
sweet job dude!!
This looks great. Look forward to see more from him in KBK!
i have this picture on my wall, ACES!!!
haha do you really?!? yay I have yours on mine haha - you should post that up btw now that the cats outa the bag
Looove the way you coloured this, the texture looks great and really adds a lot
Nice technique as always, Dan! Is this all digital? Looks like marker or brushwork in some spots... pretty cool.
ya all digital - I streamed the whole thing! I figured you were there haha, but ya its all recorded if you wanna skip around through it to see how i did this
I saw part of it, but I must've missed the texturing. Was that done closer to the end?
maybe i never broadcast it - but ya I texture at the very end - its just a couple of photos placed over the image with like an overlay setting and low opacity or something like that. But a lot of the texture is from the brushes I used throughout the process - thats most of whats making it look like marker I think

This is a nice, light serum that seems to deliver on its promise to firm the appearance of the skin. I'm really not sure why some folks find the smell so offensive...maybe there's a little drama going on? Anyway...it's not a great smell, but its certainly not as hideous as some say and it doesn't last. It makes my skin feel plumped up and smooth. I've used it for a few days now and will repost if I see any dramatic changes.

I got this as part of the Philosophy Girl set. It's a liquidy-gel type serum that's supposed to go under your moisturizer to provide extra moisture, and for me it works really well on the rough/dry spots I've been getting due to the winter dry air and going on retin-a/duac (blech!) After washing my face I put about 6 drops in my palm, rub it between my hands a bit and then pat it on my face. I follow up with Hope in a Jar and skin that was flaky and rough smooths out nicely. The main downside is the COST! I'm sure there must be something out there that does the trick without costing $35/bottle. As for the smell, it doesn't bother me, and neither does Hope in a Jar...I honestly wonder what the big deal is? The products smell herbal and lean towards lavender, and in any case the scent doesn't really linger. EDIT 6/5/06: still like it. The bottle is running low and I'm actually considering repurchase! I forgot to mention that I have sensitive oily skin, and am nowhere near wrinkles, but like this product as it moisturizes w/out being greasy AT ALL and really boosts the effect of your usual moisturizer.

I bought this serum b/c I was looking for a good antioxidant serum. Well, I found it! Everyone complains about the smell, but the smell doesn't last long and most Vit. C serums I have used in the past do not smell good anyway. It immediately soaks into your skin and is matte. I have normal skin and have not had any breakouts from this. IMO, it's a great product and I will buys again. This along with the microdelivery peel pads have really made my skin look great!

I kind of like the way this smells, but only because it reminds me of the Vitabath bath gel my mom used to use. Smells like home, I guess. LOL! I love the packaging, very convenient to use the dropper to dispense. I've only been using this a couple of weeks, but so far no breakouts and my skin does seem firmer. Great improvement on my neck especially. I'm also using the other components of the Philosophy Makeup Optional Kit, plus the Exfoliating Kit, so not sure the improvements can be solely attributed to this product (therefore only four lippies).

This is a serum which I would apply in the morning, then follow up w/ my sunscreen over it. At first the smell kind of turned me off, but after sticking with it for several weeks, my skin really appreciated the oil-free moisture and seemed to be smoother, plumped up and less oily. I would buy it again, b/c as long as this lasted (6 months?) this seems to be a pretty good value. But, you need to apply sunscreen over it!

I'm currently using (and loving) the following philosophy products: purity made simple, when hope is not enough serum, hope in a jar (original formula), hope in a tube (eye and lip cream), and the 2-piece microdelivery peel. I don't think it's easy to review individual product results so I'll review as a whole with comments about the seperate products.
I have "normal" skin for the most part. I'm occasionally oily in the T-zone. I'm not seeing any signs of aging at 33. I'm not sensitive and rarely have any reactions to skincare. My biggest complaint is slightly rough skin texture. I do get a hormonal zit almost every month, but beyond that I have pretty okay skin. Since beginning using the philosophy "makeup optional" products, my skin texture has improved dramatically. My skin is soft and smooth. My pores are less visible and I think I have a bit more of an overall glow.
purity made simple: I think this is the best cleanser I've ever tried. I absolutely love the natural, herbal scent. It melts off all makeup, even mascara, and it doesn't sting my eyes! It doesn't strip or overdry my skin. I just feel clean and soft after washing. Love it! *****
when hope is not enough serum: Stinks! If you can get beyond the awful scent, this serum has a light, non-sticky texture that absorbs quickly. It has anti-oxidants and even a hair growth inhibitor. I'm not sure if my facial hair growth has slowed at all, but I'll keep using for the other benefits. ****
hope in a jar: I love the scent of lavender. If you hate lavender, you may not like this cream. This has a really nice, light, almost whipped texture. It seems to be slightly pearly also which gives a healthy looking finish to skin as applied. It is not a heavy moisturizer. I'm crediting this for smoothing my skin texture. I don't know if this has a proper pH or % of AHA for exfoliation, but I'm happy with the results I'm seeing. *****
hope in a tube: I don't have eye lines or wrinkles so I can't comment of how this affects those issues. It seems to keep my eye area nicely moisturized and I'll continue to use it. ****
microdelivery peel: It's a nice citrus scrub that heats when an activating gel is applied. My skin really looks fresh, glow-y and is super soft after doing this peel. Love it! *****
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Grey
I just got this with my "makeup optional kit." I've used it for about 4 days and do like it so far, but THE SMELL IS GAWD AWFUL! What IS that??? Nasty. Luckily, it doesn't seem to linger and I forget about it as soon as I put on my Hope in a Jar moisturizer. It requires 5-6 drops over a cleansed face. It goes over smoothly, but you have to rub it in quick. It feels a tad sticky after application, but that too goes away fast. I'll report back on whether it lives up to its name. For now, the only thing I hate is the smell. PEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEWWWW.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Olive, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine

This is pretty good, except the smell, it's so darn STRONG! I like the velevety texture. It does a good job moisturizing and overall a decent produtct. Not in the league of Decleor products though.

Article: Extended Middle Cranial Fossa Approach for Vestibular Schwannoma: Technical Note and Surgical Results of 896 Operations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: From 1976 to 2006, 896 vestibular schwannomas were operated on using an extended middle cranial fossa approach. With this approach, the operative field can be extended according to tumor size and the facial and cochlear nerves can be preserved more easily with cooperation between the neurosurgeon and ENT surgeon. The mortality rate among 896 vestibular schwannoma patients was 0.3%. In the 760 initially operated vestibular schwannomas with total removal of the tumor, facial nerves were anatomically preserved in 715 or 94.1% of the cases. In 61.0% of 270 cases in which hearing preservation was attempted, hearing was preserved, and in 46.7% of those 270 cases useful hearing was preserved postoperatively. However, in the last 10 years the useful hearing preservation rate of the 140 attempted cases was 53.6%. Most of the complications of this approach were cerebrospinal fluid leakage; by using fat tissue, fibrin glue and spinal drainage from 1992 to 2005, cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in 59 or 10.6% of 569 cases, with 13 or 2.3% being repaired surgically. Moreover, in the last 10 years, the surgical results have improved along with improved surgical experience, improved instruments and better monitoring methods.
Article: Middle cranial fossa approach to acoustic neuromas: A comparison to the suboccipital approach[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Since 1976, we have operated on more than 900 acoustic neuromas using the extended middle cranial fossa approach (EMCF). The EMCF is a combination of the middle cranial fossa approach with a tentorial opening and the posterior petrosal (extended translabyrinthine) approach. This approach includes auditory canal unroofing for intracanalicular tumors, an additional tentorial incision for small sized tumors, and an additional posterior petrosectomy and mastoidectomy for medium and large tumors. The advantages of the EMCF are easy exposure of the intracanalicular tumor and early identification of the facial nerve. Less invasive dissection of the brainstem is accomplished using the EMCF than the suboccipital approach in large tumors. However, contact damage to the facial nerve must be avoided during tumor resection.

ABSTRACT: Safety and practical use of the irrigation fluids used for neurosurgical patients in 8 hospitals were investigated by a questionary study. For the patients who underwent neuroendoscopic surgery (neuroendoscopic surgery group), an artificial cerebrospinal fluid or lactated Ringer's solution was used, and for the patients receiving cisternal irrigation therapy (cisternal irrigation group), an artificial cerebrospinal fluid was used. For the remaining neurosurgical patients (rinse group) who were not included either in the above two groups, an ordinary saline solution, lactated Ringer's solution, or artificial cerebrospinal fluid was used. In the rinse group, no adverse reactions (AR) were observed. In the neuroendoscopic surgery group, ARs(ex: fever, nausea, vomiting) were observed 6 times in total in the 3 patients administered lactated Ringer's solution; however, no ARs were found in the patients administered the artificial cerebrospinal fluid. In the cisternal irrigation group, ARs (ex: elevated AST, nausea, vomiting) were observed 15 times in total in 7 patients. In this group, the possibility of the relations between the ARs and the artificial cerebrospinal fluid was not excluded; however, the underlying diseases or the cisternal irrigation therapy might be the causes of ARs. In conclusion, the artificial cerebrospinal fluid, which is most similar to the cerebrospinal fluid regarding electrolyte concentrations, pH, and osmotic pressure, was thought to be the most physiological and safe irrigation fluid without bad effects on the patients.
Article: Haemorrhagic venous infarction following the posterior petrosal approach for acoustic neurinoma surgery: A report of two cases[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors report two surgical cases with acoustic neurinoma in which haemorrhagic infarction occurred via a compromise in cerebral deep venous outflow. In both cases, surgery was performed via the posterior petrosal approach, and the neurinomas were completely removed. In the first case, the haemorrhagic infarction was considered to have resulted from transection of the tentorial sinus, the presence of which had not been predictable by preoperative angiography. In the second case, the haemorrhagic infarction was caused by a coagulation of the petrosal vein, which was firmly adherent to a tumour. With the posterior petrosal approach, meticulous care is necessary to preserve the deep anastomotic veins into and around the cerebellar tentorium. Thereby, catastrophic morbidity related to compromised deep cerebral venous outflow can be avoided.

ABSTRACT: The clinical characteristics of "medial" or "intra-cisternal" acoustic neuroma (AN) treated in our institute were reviewed. Among 466 patients with ANs in our series during the last 20 years, 6 patients (1.3%) were considered to fill the criteria of medial AN definition. Compared with those with non-medial ANs, the patients with medial ANs show a tendency to have cerebellar and/or cranial nerve dysfunction (especially trigeminal and/or facial nerves) in addition to hearing loss at the time of initial presentation. On magnetic resonance imaging, medial AN is visualized as a multi-cystic mass lesion in the cerebello-pontine cistern without extension into the internal auditory canal in most cases. Although total removal of tumor was achieved in all cases, the results of preservation of facial nerve function were not satisfactory. Medial AN can be considered as a clinical, but not pathological, subtype in terms of the functional outcomes of the facial nerve and hearing.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to describe the long-term outcome of preserved hearing after vestibular schwannoma surgery. Subjects are 20 unilateral vestibular schwannoma patients whose class A hearing of the AAO-HNS classification was preserved successfully after tumor removal. Hearing preservation surgery was attempted via the middle cranial fossa (MCF) or the extended MCF approach. The follow-up periods ranged from 2 to 16 years. The outcome measures included the pure tone average (PTA) and speech discrimination score (SDS). PTA was maintained in less than 30 dB in 11 out of 20 patients within 2 years follow-up, six out of 13 patients within 4 years follow-up, and two out of five patients within 6 years follow-up, respectively. SDS was maintained in more than 70% in 17 out of 20 patients within 2 years follow-up, ten out of 13 patients within 4 years follow-up, and three out of five patients within 6 years follow-up, respectively. The preserved hearing maintained about more than 40% of the patients with the class A hearing in every 2 years follow-up. From this result, we can conclude that the hearing preservation surgery could be one of the best treatments for vestibular schwannoma patients with class A hearing. However, further study will be needed to clarify the mechanism of the deterioration in hearing after hearing preservation surgery.

ABSTRACT: What is believed to be the first case of a glomus jugulare tumor presenting with intracerebellar hemorrhage is described. A 25-year-old normotensive man suddenly suffered from severe headache, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, and ataxia due to an intracerebellar hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed a highly vascular jugulare foramen tumor extending into the intracranial space adjacent to the hematoma. Total removal of the tumor was performed successfully via the combined pre- and retrosigmoid approach, and the histologic diagnosis was a glomus jugulare tumor. We concluded that one of the numerous draining veins on the surface of intracranial tumor, which were observed during the operation, was the origin of the intracerebellar hemorrhage.
Article: Use of the Ultrasonically Activated Scalpel in Acoustic Neuroma Surgery: Preliminary Report[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recently, the ultrasonic activated scalpel (the Harmonic Scalpel, HS) has been introduced in laparoscopic surgery. We have applied the HS in debulking the tumor in the posterior fossa and concluded that this is useful in acoustic neuroma surgery. Fifteen patients with a tumor extending more than 20 mm into the posterior fossa were included in this study. The extended middle cranial fossa approach type II was used in 13 patients and type III (hearing preservation surgery) was used in 2 patients. In one of two patients, hearing was preserved. Postroperative facial nerve function according to the House-Brackmann method was grade I in 12 patients, grade II in 2 patients, and grade III in 1 patient. Compating the technique of using HS to a pair of bipolar forceps and/or ultrasonic cavitational aspirator, the former can result in better preservation of the facial nerve function.
Article: Long-Term Prognosis of Profound Facial Nerve Paralysis Secondary to Acoustic Neuroma Resection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The long-term prognosis of profound facial nerve paralysis was reviewed in 107 patients who, despite preserved nerve continuity, showed no facial movement after acoustic neuroma resection. Spontaneous recovery occurred in 77 patients. However, there was no apparent recovery in 30 patients. Twenty-two of these patients underwent hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis 7-33 months after tumor resection. When spontaneous recovery occurred, the first sign of remission was observed between 3 and 4 months after surgery in nearly half of the patients. Such a sign did not appear after 12 months. The recovery of facial movement deteriorated depending on how long remission onset was delayed. However, the quality of facial movement in patients with such delayed remission was still identical or better than that in those after hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis. These results showed that hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis should be performed approximately 1 year after tumor resection if no sign of remission has been observed by then.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the quality of postoperative hearing in acoustic neuroma. The study was designed as a retrospective case review. The study was performed at the Department of Otolaryngology, School of Medicine, Keio University, Tokyo, Japan. The subjects were 94 patients with unilateral acoustic neuroma. Hearing preservation surgery was performed in the subjects via the extended cranial fossa approach or the middle cranial fossa approach. The outcome measures included patient's age and gender, hearing level, speech discrimination score, tumor size, and surgical approach. The relationship between the qualities of preoperative and postoperative hearing and the long-term prognosis of preserved hearing also was investigated. In 94 subjects, there were 47 patients whose hearing was preserved (HP group) and 47 patients whose hearing was not preserved (non-HP group). Overall, hearing preservation rate was 50%. There were no significant differences in age, gender, and tumor size between the two groups. The hearing preservation rate was significantly higher in patients with an intracanalicular tumor than that with a larger tumor. The better the preoperative quality of hearing was, the higher the postoperative one. Although the preserved hearing deteriorated after surgery in 4 patients, no significant hearing deterioration was observed in the other 43 patients. The results of this study indicated that the diagnosis for acoustic neuroma in the early stage with serviceable hearing is the most important to improve the quality of postoperative hearing.

ABSTRACT: A multicentre cooperative prospective study have been conducted to investigate the factors influencing posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) and to evaluate the prophylactic effect of anticonvulsants. Since April 1994, patients with head injury have been observed following our protocol as follows; anticonvulsants are administered only to the patients with brain parenchymal injury for one month just after head trauma and no anticonvulsants are administered after one month after trauma to any patients except those with posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE). Brain parenchymal injury included traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, acute subdural hematoma, contusion, intracerebral hematoma, and diffuse axonal injury. To April 1996, 635 patients with head injury have been registered and analyzed. During the follow-up period, 14 patients (2.2%) developed PTEs, which had only been observed in patients with brain parenchymal injury. Multiple regression analysis revealed that two factors, early epilepsy and brain parenchymal injury, could contribute to the prediction of PTE. The frequency of PTE in this study was compared with that in our previous retrospective study (Nakamura, 1995), in which anticonvulsants were administered to the patients with head injury. There was no significant difference in the percentage of patients having PTE between the group treated without anticonvulsants in this study and the untreated group in previous retrospective study. Anticonvulsants treatment after head injury was not likely to have a prophylactic effect against the development of PTE.
Article: Electromyographic Analysis of Profound Facial Nerve Paralysis following Acoustic Neuroma Resection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of our retrospective study was to determine whether electromyographic findings (motor unit action potentials, MUAPs) can be used in long-term prognosis for profound facial nerve paralysis in patients whose nerve continuity is preserved during surgery for acoustic neuroma. The orbicularis oris, frontal, and orbicularis oculi muscles were examined for the occurrence of MUAPs in 48 such patients. In 30 patients who recovered from complete paralysis within 10 months after surgery, MUAPs in the first two muscles tended to precede the first sign of facial movement. MUAPs appeared in the orbicularis muscle in 80% of these patients at 1 month and in all at 5 months. In the frontal and orbicularis oculi muscles, MUAPs occurred in only 0-20% of these patients in the first month; within 3-5 months the number increased rapidly, and MUAPs were present in 95% of these patients at 10 months. In the remaining 18 patients with long-term complete paralysis (at least 1 year), MUAPs appeared solely in the orbicularis oris muscle: in 20% of these patients in the first month after surgery. While this number slowly rose, there was no period of rapid increase later. We conclude that the occurrence of MUAPs in the orbicularis oris and frontal muscles within 3 months of surgery indicates a good prognosis for reversal of facial nerve paralysis.

ABSTRACT: Acoustic neuroma (AN) patients who had normal hearing accounted for 7% of all our AN cases. It is important to identify AN patients who have normal hearing but are suffering from tinnitus, dizziness, or vertigo, or a combination of these symptoms (without hearing loss), in order to make an early diagnosis. Patients who experience sudden hearing loss and recover completely should also be thoroughly examined in order to rule out AN. In this article, we describe an investigation of the clinical features and results of hearing preservation surgery in AN patients with normal hearing. The overall hearing preservation rate was 57%. The hearing preservation rate did not depend on the auditory brainstem response (ABR) pattern, tumor size, or the origin of the tumor. We think that patients must be properly informed concerning all aspects of the surgery, including the possibility that hearing and/or facial nerve function cannot be preserved.

ABSTRACT: The clinical records of 1,155 patients with 1,159 brain tumors who drained on Keio University Hospital between 1983 and 1994 were reviewed. Apparently asymptomatic patients and those whose complaints or neurological deficits were not caused by the brain tumors were defined as accidental cases. For example, patients with a headache which was considered to be unrelated to the presence of a tumor were included in this series. One hundred and ten (9.5%) of the 1,155 cases were found to be accidental. Since three accidental cases had multiple meningiomas, there were 113 accidental brain tumors which involved 63 meningiomas, 22 pituitary adenomas, 9 gliomas, 7 metastatic carcinomas. 5 acoustic neurinomas and 7 miscellaneous. Meningiomas occurred significantly more frequent than other types of accidentally identified tumors. Convexity meningiomas and falx meningiomas accounted for 53.9% of the accidental meningiomas, whereas parasagittal meningiomas were less frequent. It is of note that three out of four cases with multiple meningiomas were accidental. Comparison between the present results and the previously reported incidence of asymptomatic brain tumors in postmortem studies suggest that a substantial number of pituitary adenomas, acoustic neurinomas and small parasagittal meningiomas without suggestive symptoms are likely to be missed by routine neuroradiological examinations.

ABSTRACT: Fourteen cases of midline vertebro-basilar trunk aneurysms were operated on by four routes of surgical approach: middle fossa anterior transpetrosal approach (ATP), presigmoid transpetrosal approach (PTP), conventional lateral suboccipital approach (LSO) or suboccipital transcondylar approach (STC). There was no mortality, but the morbidity was different depending on the surgical approach. In basilar trunk aneurysms located higher than the internal auditory canal, excellent results were obtainable by ATP, especially in the case of posteriorly projecting aneurysms. For midline vertebral aneurysms located lower than the internal auditory canal, STC resulted in less surgical complications than LSO. Extradural resection of the jugular tubercle was necessary for aneurysms located on the distal vertebral artery at or close to the vertebro-basilar junction. For vertebro-basilar junction aneurysms located at the level of the internal auditory canal, hearing was preserved by STC, but not by ATP or PTP. However, choice of the surgical approach may depend on the direction of the aneurysm and the technical accessibility of the skull base. All these skull base approaches reduced surgical complications of retraction damage to the cranial nerves and the brain stem. This holds true for all aneurysms arising from the midline vertebro-basilar trunk.

ABSTRACT: Thirty-six cases of petroclival meningiomas with clearly defined anatomical features were selected to analyze the site of tumor attachment and the displacement of the trigeminal nerve. The tumors were classified into four categories according to the origin and extension of the tumor: clival origin medial to the trigeminal nerve (upper clivus type), clival origin with dumbbell extension to the cavernous sinus (cavernous sinus type), tentorial origin over the trigeminal nerve (tentorium type), and petrous apex origin lateral to the trigeminal nerve (petrous apex type). Patients with tumors in each category had characteristic neurological symptoms. Patients with the upper clivus type had oculomotor nerve paresis as a single symptom, if suprasellar tumor extension was present. Patients with the cavernous sinus type commonly presented with abducens nerve paresis caused by epidural tumor invasion around Dorello's canal. Dumbbell tumor extension along the venous drainage of the cavernous sinus was a significant problem for surgical removal in this type. Half of the patients with the tentorium type had a characteristic symptom of trigeminal neuralgia caused by retrograde tumor invasion into Meckel's cave from its orifice, but the cavernous sinus was not involved. The main complaint of patients with the petrous apex type was hearing disturbance, but no epidural or parasellar extension was present. Clinical symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging provide important information about the origin and extension patterns of these tumors, especially the presence or absence of tumor extension into the cavernous sinus. Abducens nerve paresis or trigeminal neuralgia suggests tumor invasion into the cavernous sinus or Meckel's cave, respectively.

ABSTRACT: A multicenter cooperative study was conducted to investigate factors influencing posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) and to evaluate the prophylactic effect of anticonvulsants. A retrospective study of 102 PTE patients revealed the following typical clinical features: occurrence in young males, traffic accidents, contusion and/or cerebral hematoma. The latent period after the injury was longer in children. The percentage of EEG paroxysmal activity gradually increased as the generalized abnormality diminished. A retrospective-prospective study of 1998 patients who suffered a head injury between 1984 and 1988 was conducted till 1994. During the follow-up period, 62 patients (3.1%) developed PTE. The drop-out cases were excluded, and the 154 cases followed at least two years were analyzed. Statistical analysis of differences between patients with and without PTE suggested following factors: young, immediate early epilepsy (within 24 hours after injury; IMEE) and early epilepsy (within one week after injury). The risk with the highest relative risk rate was early epilepsy. Multiple regression analysis revealed that three factors, IMEE, early epilepsy and young age, contributed to the prediction of PTE. There was no significant difference in the percentage of patients having PTE in the group treated with anticonvulsants and the untreated group. Anticonvulsant treatment after head injury was unlikely to have a prophylactic effect on the development of PTE.

ABSTRACT: We have evaluated three-dimensional (3D) images of the skull base lesions for planning cranial base surgery. Fifty 3D images were reconstructed from computed tomographies (CT), and/or magnetic resonance (MR) images or MR angiographic images of 30 patients with skull base lesions. These images have provided useful information for pre-operative evaluation. The 3D image reconstructed from CT provides clear information concerning the bone. Conversely, the 3D image from MR images demonstrates soft tissue very clearly, and that from MR angiography provides a detailed description of the vasculature. For skull base lesions, it is essential to evaluate 3D images from the different modalities, especially CT scan and MR image.

Good size, reasonable comfort, handles well, practical, reliable, dependable.
Frequently changed the front brakes and U-joints.
Navydavy0's Navy Blue Silverado — I've owned this Silverado since Dec 1998. I bought it for work initially, but now it's 'semi-retired' (I now use a 2003 Impala LS (3.8L) as my everyday cummuter). My wife says I'm a horder when it comes to my truck - she just doesn't see the light. :-) I bought the truck with 177,000 km and it now has 364,700 (as of Nov 22, 2011). A good 75% of that mileage is highway. Its been very reliable and dependable for the most part, just seemed to have gone through front brakes and u-joints more frequently than normal (maybe it's just me - ?). Its reasonably good on fuel on the highway, but heavy in the City. The body on it is still in very good shape aside from the usual rust spot on the right rear fender above the exhaust pipe (damn these Canadian winters).

Men At Arms: Waffen SS (3): 11. to 23. Division
Item #: OSP-MAA415
Shipping: 2-3 Business Days not including date of order. Orders placed on weekends will be processed on Monday (excluding holidays). We are closed on Fridays.
The Waffen-SS grew from a handful of obscure infantry battalions in 1939, to a force of more than 30 divisions by the end of World War II, including units of every type and every level of battlefield value. The mid-war divisions covered in this third title represent that range, from some of the most effective German and Western European volunteer formations – e.g. the 12. SS-Pz Div 'Hitlerjugend', and the Scandinavians and Dutchmen of the 11. 'Nordland' and 23. 'Nederland' divisions – to the Bosnian Muslims of the anti-partisan 13. 'Handschar' Division. Illustrated with rare photographs from private collections and meticulous colour artwork, the text details their organization, uniforms and insignia, and summarizes their battle records.

When we last left James Bond in "Quantum of Solace," he was on a mission of vengeance after being scorned by a past love. "Quantum" picked right up where "Casino Royale" left off, and even though there was a lot of action in the flick, Bond wasn't Bond: He transformed into a cold, hard character, who audiences never saw crack a smile or have his martini shaken.
Fast-forward four years: Bond has had time to heal and seems to be ready to get back to his old form, even if he has traded in his martini for a Heineken. MTV News visited the London set of Daniel Craig's third Bond flick , "Skyfall," and he told us fans will see him portray a whole new 007.
"He's much softer and nicer now," Craig explained. "It's just different … hopefully, it's different again from that ['Casino Royale']. There was a story to telling 'Quantum' that we had to finish off and round off. He was hurt and broken-hearted; he's not so broken-hearted. He's on the mend; he's feeling much better."
While little is known about the plot of "Skyfall," the 23rd Bond film, what we do know from the official synopsis is that Bond's loyalty to Judi Dench's character, M, is tested when her past comes back to haunt her. That leaves a lot of holes that need to be filled, but, of course, Craig wouldn't give away too much. After all, it's top-secret information.
Craig said Bond's relationship with M is "a very important part of the film." "There's also the very important relationship he has with the bad guy in the movie [Silva, played by Javier Bardem]. We got Javier to come and do that, which gives the film a richer content, but his relationship with M, they are very close and they basically go on an adventure together, she gets out in the field. Judi, she'll tell you she usually films most of her stuff in the studio like this while we are all off in some wonderful location and she gets to come with us this time."
"Skyfall" hits theaters November 9.
Check out everything we've got on "Skyfall."

Apparently someone with .141 reported his findings after 5 hours of usage and honestly I'm not impressed. If this is indeed what .141 will be I'll be sticking with v4.
my .141 findings 5 hours in... - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com
i can see a nice little verizon .141 / 5.0 in my future if this would be released. Just waiting for the 9630 tour to drop and ill be getting that. Hey just think there up to 18.104.22.168xx with the builds lots of leaks could drop.

I have a question and I was not able to find an answer doing a search. I am a verizon user and I have downloaded the beta OS's and am currently on .132. When (IF) verizon sends the official update will I be able to download straight to that or do I need to downgrade to .75 then up to .141 (or whatever they drop?) Thank you very much for the patience with this question.
That is what I figured because I have been installing the leaks and beta's without downgrading first but didn't know if this was different.
Good thread, Thanks

Even if VZW doesn't make it available for download, wont RIM be able too once VZW gives the thumbs up?
I went to read the findings on CB and I'm sticking with v4 until some of the things that were said are overcome (that lock issue kinda defeats the purpose).
Just my 2 cents....
I went to CB, and ATTEMPTED to read that thread.... holy shit batman... 5 pages of flaming later... i found a few actual statements about the actual OS! Thank god...( BBOS "god" that is) For makin THIS forum!
Anyways... Im stickin with BBC's Hybrids... Verizon is stuck so far up thier own ass we may never see what we need for this phone!

dark night of Kremlin embankment by Lyutik966Watch
©2012-2016 Lyutik966
Kremlin Embankment is located between the Big Stone and Big Moskvoretsky bridges. Throughout history the embankment was several times reconstructed. In the 1936th year a prop of a wall of the embankment made under an inclination and revetted with a granite. The same year the embankment took a present form, on it landed a set of trees. Throughout the South there is the quay wall of the Kremlin, with its wonderful towers.

Outsider Eco Fashion Giveaway
Eco fashion is on my mind. Since we wrapped up our 30-day shopping pause, I'm starting to think outside the box of #preloved (although I am continuing my commitment to #ShopDrop2016).

These are wearable classics with a twist—a button-front dress with an obi belt, a pleated black skirt with perfectly placed pockets. And in addition to making their own designs from sustainable fabrics like hemp silk and organic cotton, Outsider also supplies fabrics to other eco designers. Did I mention the free shipping on international orders of a certain amount?

Westchester Migratory Bird Sanctuary
In partnership with the Porter County Parks Foundation, Purdue North Central is establishing a research site at the Westchester Migratory Bird Sanctuary located in Chesterton, IN. This exciting project will allow a living lab environment for biology majors and faculty members to perform research and experience a developing wetland site. A project that is currently in progress is Dr. Vanessa Quinn's Biology 288 Field Ecology Techniques class, which measures and identifies trees at the site. Other projects will be scheduled and more information will be posted as the projects progress.
Biology Welcome Back Picnic
The annual Biology Welcome Back Picnic is held in September at the pond located on the Purdue North Central campus. Faculty, students and administrators are invited to come and enjoy an afternoon and have lunch at the PNC Pavillion at the pond. Food offerings include hot dogs, roasted ears of corn and desserts. Then the festivities move to the pond for kayak races.

As a community service project, students in Drs. Curtis and Quinn's lab classes took to Coffee Creek in conjunction with the City of Chesterton in an attempt to clean up and restore the waterways in Coffee Creek Park to a natural state. Coffee Creek watershed, once a pristine waterway, has suffered from flooding, neglect, and pollution.
This type of service learning provides both valuable educational experience and a service to the people living in the community and the students of PNC.
