Gabrielle with Parasole by amberj8Watch
©2010-2016 amberj8
I'm a huge fan of Xena, and when I first started drawing more seriously, most of what I drew was Xena-related. That was a while ago now, and it was really fun to go back and try my hand at a new pic of Gabby. Her face can be tricky to do right, but I'm pleased with the result. This is graphite on A4, took about 15 hours or so to do, and it was the first time I tried using a mechanical pencil. Lots of fun.
Whoa!! Excellent rendering of her expression. Excellent work!!
Thanks. Her face isn't the easiest to draw, but I think this one came out pretty good. Glad you like it.
I can imagine she's hard to draw. I'm not an artist; I don't have any talent like that. How I wish I did. (If I have any talent, it is with words). When I look at closeups of Xena's face, I can imagine the detail it would require. Her face is almost heart shaped - so I would think shading is critical. You managed to capture her in a way that is nearly animated. The interesting thing is that Lucy, out of costume, doesn't necessarily look like Xena. Somehow you managed to nail the character. Wow, just wow!! That takes talent.

How is it possible to get it so white?
Good work!You did very good on it.
Gorgeous work.
Supreme pencil work with this and you have really nailed her likeness.

Thanks. I think the graphite worked better than charcoal would have, and I like how it all worked out.
wow. very nice..
I admit i envy your drawing skills..

Aww, how cute she is here! I definitely have to watch you!
Trully remarkable!! Very well done!!
Totally amazed,
Congratulations! This portrait has been included in #CelebrityPortraits's 'Best Of' feature for the month of October! You can see the news article here!
Love it
Fantastic work!
Fantastic work I love it so much
Fabulous job here! I loved the show!
this ia beautiful!
This is really good. I've been trying to find some really good Xena artwork on DA lately since I recently am watching the series again but not too much luck. But anyway you really have captured Gabrielle well here.
Thanks so much. It's been a while since I watched a lot of Xena, but the love remains. I plan on doing more Xena stuff soon, so keep an eye out.
Yeah I watched it back in the day when it first aired on tv and I was a little kid then so it was kinda hazy for me these days and I did miss out a lot on the final season but where I live (I don't know about the rest of Australia) they have recently brought out the dvd collection, so I was very happy when that happened, I'm now up to the final season ^.^ Well I'll watch you then, can't wait and I love the rest of your gallery as well.

I think this is not a matter of respect. This is a horse that is poorly trained and this rider is waaaay over-mounted. Then, there are other factors that can play into this whole situation. And Yes!, you are not experienced enough and probably have the wrong experience.
You do not need 'organized' lessons in the manner they are given at a lesson or boarding barn. You need to learn how to control a horse. We encounter people that have had several years of lesson. They are clueless what to do when They want to go north and Dobbin wants to go south. Until you know how to get a horse to go north that wants to go south, YOU CANNOT RIDE. You would learn 10 times more from a good mentor that knows how to ride. We do this all of the time. We exchange knowledge and riding time for helping saddle and get horses ready to ride, etc. 100% of the people that have done this around here tell everyone that they learned more accidentally by being around us and helping us than they ever did taking lessons.
Back to the horse -- What is this horse being fed? If she is eating a 'hot' diet with too much grain and supplement, this can be a big part of her 'hotness'.
How much free exercise and turn-out is she getting. I would opt, if possible, for living out all of the time with free choice hay and little if any concentrates. I would give her absolutely NO Vitamin or mineral supplements that contain the blood building components like the B Vitamins, liver, iron, etc. If you feed and stable one like a race horse, you have a much better chance of them acting like one.
Next, make sure she is getting supplemented with Magnesium. This can also be HUGE for horses that have a natural tendency to be hot, chargy and/or nervous.
Next, longe this horse a LOT -- BUT not any faster than a slow trot. When you get a horse to relax and jog slowly on the longe, their whole attitude changes. Most people longe one too fast and too hard. They only develop a pattern of charging off on the longe or in the round pen. Create a mentality of slow and lazy. All fast longing does is get one fit and make it take twice as long to slow down. You don't want to practice charging around; You want to practice 'slow and easy'.
Next. Never go to a stronger bit for this problem. With too much impulsion AND too much bit, you will create a horse that rears. You give a chargy horse nowhere to go but up, they go up.
She is not guiding well enough for you. You are 'letting' her turn around and go where she wants to go. Both you and her need to know how to guide. A horse (and rider) needs to learn how to 'follow their nose'.
You are green and so is she. You are only teaching her bad habits and spoiling her worse. You need to learn what to ask her to do and how to ask it. She needs to learn that when you ask her to do something, she MUST do it 100%of the time without an argument.
You (and her) both need to learn 'leg yielding' exercises. This way, you can ride with one rein at a time and can push her around with your legs.
You and her need to learn how to do a 'one rein stop' the right way. Then, you have a 'off button' and can get her mind back on you without pulling on both reins at the same time. That just never works with a chargy horse.

in response to P.FoggThe problem that causes more "won't boot up" problems than anything else is a low or dead PRAM backup battery.
If its not too far gone, you can sometimes press the CUDA Reset button -- the tiny button closest to the battery on the motherboard, hold for a quarter minute, wait five seconds minimum, then try to start again. Avoid momentary presses. Pressing that button with the fans running drops power instantly -- not a great idea.
After removing AC power or replacing the battery with a new one, this drill must be performed again.
P.Fogg Nov 29, 2007 10:49 PM
in response to Grant Bennet-Alderseems like I have some bigger problems.
I tried pressing the CUDA reset, I also changed the battery to the one of the other machine that works just fine, no changes.
Still no boot, no chime, no screen
Grant Bennet-Alder Nov 30, 2007 5:58 AM
in response to P.FoggThere are jumpers on the motherboard that set the clock speed to the CPU. Unless the two CPUs are exactly the same speed, swapping them is unlikely to help. It is also important to put slight pressure on the CPU as you close the "ZIF" locking lever \[Zero Insertion Force -- which should be thought of as LOW Insertion Force, not Zero].
In general, operating without the Heat Sink in place is a bad idea. These processors generally shut down before damage occurs -- not so with later models. Also, the heat Sink clip is not symmetrical and should be positioned to put maximum pressure directly over the processor die.
It is completely unscientific, but I have had some luck holding down Command Option p r keys before startup and holding them down while starting up.
The general way to pursue debugging is to disconnect everything that might draw power, then try for the initial chime or error tone. The sounds are generated in software after the CPU has executed many instructions, and an error tone tells you the processor is running at least.
There is a definite sequence to the diagnostic LEDs on the board turning on and off, and with the service manual, you can figure out what might be going wrong. That is not always very helpful. Sometimes it tells you that nothing is happening (the CPU does not even get to the first one). That may be worth pursuing.
funkymonkeypie Nov 30, 2007 9:57 PM
in response to P.FoggObviously you seem comfortable within the "guts" of the machine, so unplug and replug every connector that you can find, twice. The PS to motherboard especially. As well scan the motherboard for iregularities, IE broken or lifted traces, fat looking capacitors, any area that looks sooty. If still nothing then try swaping power suplies, you dont have to take them out, just put them to end with the doors open the cable will reach from one to the other.

in response to P.Foggseems like HD is faulty. it is installed right now and operational, but behaves weird from time to time.

Landlord Ken Dickens and Stroud MP Neil Carmichael mark the opening of the new toilets at the Star Inn last week. Picture by Maggie Booth Photography.

NEIL Carmichael lifted the lid on life as an MP as he opened the new toilets at The Star Inn in Whiteshill on Wednesday (September 18).
The Conservative politician who has previously brushed off fears he might lose his own seat cut a length of toilet roll, instead of the traditional ribbon, to mark the official opening of the new loos.
He was invited along to unveil the flush new bogs by pub landlord Ken Dickens, who is seeking to transform the Star by making a raft of interior improvements.
The installation of the new toilets is just the first step in a major refurbishment project he has planned, with a new kitchen and dining space to follow.
"With the toilets completed and operational we will now remove the old ones and remove the internal and external walls which, when encompassed by the new extension, will double the size of the bar," said Ken.
A four-day beer festival, with more than 20 ales on offer, will be held in celebration at The Star once the refurbishment work comes to an end in around six weeks.

Pixtreme Lens Kit
This kit includes a close up lens, red filter and flash diffuser. Each piece attaches to the camera with a simple twist on clip. Great items to improve your underwater shots:
• Close Up Lens - allows camera to take pictures much closer than the normal 3 feet minimum.
• Red Filter - The color red only carries 15-20 feet underwater. At depths below this reds are "washed-out" of picture. The red filter puts the red spectrum backinto your underwater photos.
• Flash Diffuser - helps reduce backscatter caused when a direct beam of light from flash reflects off particles in the water. This shows up as spots on your photos. The diffuser breaks up the direct beam to reduce backscatter effect.

Mr. A. H. Krieg
Widder Corporation
Great Hill Road
Post Office Box 1069
Naugatuck, Connecticut 06770-1069
Dear Mr. Krieg:
Senator Lowell Weicker, Jr., has asked the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to respond to your letter of December 30, 1985, to him.
Promulgation of the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) on November 25, 1983, was the culmination of over 10 years of rulemaking activity by OSHA. The standard is based on the premise that employees have a right to know the identities and hazards of the substances to which they may be exposed in their place of employment. This knowledge will ultimately result in a reduction in the occurrence of illnesses and injuries resulting from such exposures.
The major vehicle for informing employees about the hazardous substances to which they may be exposed to is the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). These are written documents that provide extensive information on the chemical identification of components, as well as other useful information such as the hazards of the chemicals and protective measures. MSDS are required for each hazardous chemical in the workplace.
The MSDS for the welding wire that you produce clearly indicates that it contains hazardous chemicals that could affect the health of employees who use it. By providing a MSDS for the welding wire employees will be in a better position to protect themselves from any potential hazards associated with its use.
If you have additional questions regarding the HCS or other OSHA regulations, please feel free to contact our Area Office in Hartford:
Area Director U.S. Department of Labor - OSHA Federal Office Building, Room 508 450 Main Street Hartford, Connecticut 06103
Telephone: (203) 244-2294
I hope this information will be helpful to you.

Hmmm I like the sound of a love interest! That would be very interesting. Well, I've been thinking and I have a little idea. You have to rivals, and they are friends, but just classmates to you. One is reall determined and kinda dark even, going for the all or nothing approach, doing whatever it takes to be the best. And the other rival is kinda like their sidekick. Unfit and Slow, they find it hard to keep up with their friend. They are just generally a follower and is kinda weak. But as he/she see's their friends dark ways, they become friends with you and turn to you to help.
So it may not be the best idea, but it's different to anything we've seen before.

Gestational surrogacy, the latest trend in reproductive tourism, a sub-industry of medical tourism, has increased exponentially over the last several years as Americans, Europeans and others seek out surrogacy services abroad. But neither the legal nor the ethical implications of these arrangements has been well-considered.
The release of 10 Baptist missionaries in Haiti may be delayed
because of accusations that one of their legal advisors is wanted for trafficking in women and children in El Salvador, and has warrants out for his arrest in the United States.
With over 35 million homeless children in India, and shelters for only 36,000 of them, children's lives can be precariously balanced and sexual abuse is widespread. But even those living at home are not always safe.
News analysts continue to debate fallout from health reform speech outburst by Joe Wilson; gender identity of South African athlete publicly discussed; US private security contractor in Afghanistan accused of sex trafficking.

Criminalizing Sex Work to Combat Trafficking: Rhode Island Considers the Wrong Solution to the Wrong Problem
The State of Rhode Island seems poised to take a significant step backwards on its legal treatment of both sex work and trafficking when legislators resume their session this fall.
The State Department's new Trafficking in Persons report suggests that the Obama administration will opt for evidence-based responses to trafficking over putting restrictions on women "for their own good."
A leading figure in the Christian right anti-trafficking establishment, Linda Smith embodies the tensions between feminists and religious right activists working on this issue.
Congress is poised to re-authorize the federal law against human trafficking with new provisions that will both increase penalties for sex workers and effectively decrease our ability to aid genuine victims of trafficking.
Denver's goal to make August's Democratic National Convention eco-friendly could overshadow other important issues – such as the spike in prostitutes being imported to town to cater to the city's 35,000 guests.

Respond to Review of Jyoti's Vegetarian
by Enfieldian
Review: This newly reopened restaurant at 1045 Stratford Road is brilliant. Smarter than your average vegetarian restaurant. Great selection of 100% vegetarian South Indian dishes. Also lovely smoothies at a reasonable price. We had to buy a box of the sweets to take away - the barfi is to die for! Takeaway snacks also available. We visited on a Saturday night and it was full - so booking is recommended. Please note that the address at 569-571 Stratford Road has closed.

Definitions for waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia
A lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by pleomorphic B-LYMPHOCYTES including PLASMA CELLS, with increased levels of monoclonal serum IMMUNOGLOBULIN M. There is lymphoplasmacytic cells infiltration into bone marrow and often other tissues, also known as lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Clinical features include ANEMIA; HEMORRHAGES; and hyperviscosity.
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is cancer affecting B cells, a type of white blood cell. The main attributing antibody is immunoglobulin M. WM is an "indolent lymphoma,". It is a type of lymphoproliferative disease, which shares clinical characteristics with the indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The disease, named after the Swedish oncologist Jan G. Waldenström, was first identified in 1944. As with other lymphomas, the disease is characterized by an uncontrolled increase of B-cells, i.e., white blood cells formed in the bone marrow and lymph nodes. The proliferation of B-cells interferes with the production of red blood cells, resulting in anemia. A unique characteristic of the disease is that the B-cells produce excess amounts of immunoglobulin protein, thickening the blood, and requiring additional treatment. WM is a rare disease, with only about 1,500 cases per year in the U.S. While the disease is incurable, it is treatable. Because of its indolent nature, many patients are able to lead active lives, and, when treatment is required, may experience years of symptom-free remission.

M.Sc. Biological Sciences: Ecology and Evolution
- On Campus
- 24 months
- EUR12000 Year (Non-EEA)
- English ( Take IELTS test or Find a course )
Sustaining natural biodiversity and protecting the environment is impossible without extensive knowledge of ecology and evolution.
The Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) offers a state-of-the-art Research Master's programme in Ecology and Evolution. The aim of the programme is to promote understanding of: *the relationships between living organisms *the extinction and evolution of species *the functioning of ecosystems *how organisms live, interact and disperse on earth Ecology and Evolution offers a tailor-made individual study programme in which you focus on topics of personal interest, and choose from a variety of courses and a wide array of research projects.
Students in this track begin the programme with some coursework on cutting-edge topics in Ecology and Evolution, by the second semester they willacquire hands-on research experience in their first research projects. Indeed, most of the track's two years are devoted to developing the necessary research skills in projects of your own choosing, within the University of Amsterdam or abroad. A thesis completes the curriculum.
Based on their background and interests, students may specialise in one of six majors, teaching state-of-the-art insights into both fundamental and applied ecology and evolutionary biology. It is by no means necessary to pursue such specialisation - the majors described below also serve to showcase the foci of particular expertise in Ecology and Evolution available in the research institute IBED.
Students benefit from a tailor-made individual study programme in which they focus on topics of personal interest, choose from a variety of courses and a wide array of research projects that are carried out in Amsterdam or abroad (for examples please do have a look in our digital database of research projects).
The six majors are:
In general, Masters students are trained to become independent researchers. But at the UvA Faculty of Science you can also choose to complete your Masters programme with a professional specialization, that focuses on other skills than doing research.
There are three professional specializations available:
A Master of Science in Biological Sciences is awarded upon successful completion of the core courses in the curriculum (19 EC), elective courses (up to 11 EC), at least two independent research projects (in total at least 80 EC) and a written thesis (10 EC). This translates into a total of 120 ECTS credits.
Previous education
Grade average: Applicants are expected to have an overall grade point average (GPA) equivalant to at least: 3.0 (American system) 2.1 (a second class upper/division one degree in the British system) C (ECTS-system)
Additional language requirements:

lol, yeah, from a month or two ago.
just because it's your first -anything- doesn't mean you should let the world see it. get some experience and release quality things rather than doing cheap or low-quality edits that anyone can do.
this is a terrible recolor, considering that you even made the gray parts green. terrible. don't upload things that aren't worth our time.
whose anims?
... I had an mp5 rig for you. oshit.
gonna model on a zeiss scope or stick to the original style?
btw, that shotgun looks a bit odd. what's up with the thumb? :s
idea- juxtapose wireframe overlays of your models when you post them, so those in the community who model could give tips on optimization and modelling or get tips.
it can look great on v_models in some cases. i.e. a magnum model. not always though. look at the SC4 python, find example of a kickass magnum with a chrome overlay.
the problem with chrome overlays comes when they're used on a hand model, because of how the tripmine uses the world/set submodels.
whoa! that original style shotgun remake in your header! beautiful!
was actually planning on using that shotgun in a mod i'm working on, called further data. is that all right by you? wonrz was fine with it.
what a shame! must be neat seeing how he was.
yeah, proper modelling is more like it. this is one case where turbosmoothing will be useful--more vertices to work with.
no hablo espanol
some of them might look better as plain additive.
r1chard really loves chrome overlays, i think he used them on almost every NPC. the thing about chrome is, well, it doesn't matter how the smoothing is on chrome, it'll be rendered the same when it's compiled/in-game. shading doesn't properly apply to it, so it's not a very good idea in most cases.
looks like the chrome texture needs to be additive too.
the gloves are the original gloves, putting that texture on is...backwards and it looks awful.
slick looks good with glasses! hehe. make sure rosenburg's shirt texture matches too, btw :p
Could you possibly send me that map? lol I was planning on doing that sometime :p
middle sci's glasses texture should be chrome+additive
Probably the only modding trolls who will ever get press coverage.
Sweet. Sounds good to me! I'm in the process of revamping all the weapons in Half-Life and Opposing Force, and redoing a lot of things for blue shift. then gonna get some coding done and do a big media release! so i'm planning lol. who knows what the future holds. good luck with all your projects!
you replaced barney.mdl? or did you tell the map to use a different model?
FOV rape is really noticeable if you look at the floor tiles. that's one of my least favorite things about goldsource :p textures are looking superb though.
aah all right, whenever you have time is fine with me. just don't forget about it! :p

Article: Impact of Biochemical Failure Classification on Clinical Outcome: A Secondary Analysis of Radiation Therapy Oncology Group 9202 and 9413[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND Biochemical failure (BF) after radiation therapy is defined on the basis of a rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (A1 failure) or any event that prompts the initiation of salvage androgen-deprivation therapy without PSA failure (A2). It was hypothesized that A2 failure may have a different prognosis.METHODS Data for 2799 eligible patients from Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 9202 and RTOG 9413 were analyzed. BF was defined according to the 1997 American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology consensus definition as A1 for PSA failure or as A2 for the start of salvage hormone therapy before 3 consecutive PSA rises.RESULTSRates of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5-2.0; P < .0001) and distant metastasis (DM; HR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.3-2.0; P < .0001) were greater with A2 failure. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 88.2% and 74.6% for A1 and A2, respectively (P < .0001), and the DM rates were 15.7% and 29.0%, respectively (P < .0001). The DM rate was greater at 5 years for A2 patients with DM as the first sign of failure versus patients with other A2 failures (87.3% vs 11.7%, P < .001), and this also correlated with worse OS at 5 years: 81.1% for A2 failure without DM and 52.8% with DM (P < .001). After the removal of patients with DM, the difference between A1 and A2 BF persisted for OS (P = .002) but not for DM (P = .16)CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that patients with rising PSA levels alone have less risk than those with A2 failures; although DM was the largest contributor of adverse risk to A2 failure, it did not account for all excess risk in A2 failure.

Article: A Tissue Biomarker-Based Model That Identifies Patients with a High Risk of Distant Metastasis and Differential Survival by Length of Androgen Deprivation Therapy in RTOG Protocol 92-02[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Purpose: To examine the relationship between the expression of 7 promising apoptotic/cell proliferation proteins (Ki-67, p53, MDM2, bcl-2, bax, p16, and Cox-2) and risk of distant metastasis. Experimental design: RTOG 92-02 compared external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to approximately 70 Gy + short-term androgen deprivation therapy (STADT) with EBRT + long-term ADT (LTADT). Immunohistochemical analysis was available for ≥4 biomarkers in 616 of 1,521 assessable cases. Biomarkers were evaluated individually and jointly via multivariable modeling of distant metastasis using competing risks hazards regression, adjusting for age, prostate-specific antigen, Gleason score, T stage, and treatment. Results: Modeling identified four biomarkers (Ki-67, MDM2, p16 and Cox-2) that were jointly associated with distant metastasis. The c-index was 0.77 for the full model and 0.70 for the model without the biomarkers; a relative improvement of about 10% (likelihood ratio P < 0.001). Subdivision of the patients into quartiles based on predicted distant metastasis risk identified a high-risk group with 10-year distant metastasis risk of 52.5% after EBRT + STADT and 31% with EBRT + LTADT; associated 10-year prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) risks were 45.9% and 14.5% with STADT and LTADT. Conclusion: Four biomarkers were found to contribute significantly to a model that predicted distant metastasis and identified a subgroup of patients at a particularly high risk of both distant metastasis and PCSM when EBRT + STADT was used. LTADT resulted in significant reductions in distant metastasis and improvements in PCSM, and there was a suggestion of greater importance in the very high risk subgroup.

Article: Radiotherapy Doses of 80 Gy and Higher Are Associated With Lower Mortality in Men With Gleason Score 8 to 10 Prostate Cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Men with Gleason score (GS) 8-10 prostate cancer (PCa) are assumed to have a high risk of micrometastatic disease at presentation. However, local failure is also a major problem. We sought to establish the importance of more aggressive local radiotherapy (RT) to ≥80 Gy. There were 226 men treated consecutively with RT ± ADT from 1988 to 2002 for GS 8-10 PCa. Conventional, three-dimensional conformal or intensity-modulated (IM) RT was used. Radiation dose was divided into three groups: (1) <75 Gy (n = 50); (2) 75-79.9 Gy (n = 60); or (3) ≥80 Gy (n = 116). The endpoints examined included biochemical failure (BF; nadir + 2 definition), distant metastasis (DM), cause-specific mortality, and overall mortality (OM). Median follow-up was 66, 71, and 58 months for Groups 1, 2, and 3. On Fine and Gray's competing risk regression analysis, significant predictors of reduced BF were RT dose ≥80 Gy (p = 0.011) and androgen deprivation therapy duration ≥24 months (p = 0.033). In a similar model of DM, only RT dose ≥80 Gy was significant (p = 0.007). On Cox regression analysis, significant predictors of reduced OM were RT dose ≥80 Gy (p = 0.035) and T category (T3/4 vs. T1, p = 0.041). Dose was not a significant determinant of cause-specific mortality. Results for RT dose were similar in a model with RT dose and ADT duration as continuous variables. The results indicate that RT dose escalation to ≥80 Gy is associated with lower risks of BF, DM, and OM in men with GS 8-10 PCa, independently of androgen deprivation therapy.
Article: Impact of Ultrahigh Baseline PSA Levels on Biochemical and Clinical Outcomes in Two Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Prostate Clinical Trials[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess ultrahigh (UH; prostate-specific antigen [PSA] levels ≥50 ng/ml) patient outcomes by comparison to other high-risk patient outcomes and to identify outcome predictors. Prostate cancer patients (PCP) from two Phase III Radiation Therapy Oncology Group clinical trials (studies 9202 and 9413) were divided into two groups: high-risk patients with and without UH baseline PSA levels. Predictive variables included age, Gleason score, clinical T stage, Karnofsky performance score, and treatment arm. Outcomes included overall survival (OS), distant metastasis (DM), and biochemical failure (BF). Unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using either the Cox or Fine and Gray's regression model with associated 95% confidence intervals (CI) and p values. There were 401 patients in the UH PSA group and 1,792 patients in the non-UH PSA PCP group of a total of 2,193 high-risk PCP. PCP with UH PSA were found to have inferior OS (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.02-1.39, p = 0.02), DM (HR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.19-1.92; p = 0.0006), and BF (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.29-1.73; p < 0.0001) compared to other high-risk PCP. In the UH cohort, PSA level was found to be a significant factor for the risk of DM (HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.001-1.02) but not OS and BF. Gleason grades of 8 to 10 were found to consistently predict for poor OS, DM, and BF outcomes (with HR estimates ranging from 1.41-2.36) in both the high-risk cohort and the UH cohort multivariable analyses. UH PSA levels at diagnosis are related to detrimental changes in OS, DM, and BF. All three outcomes can be modeled by various combinations of all predictive variables tested.
Article: Older Age Predicts Decreased Metastasis and Prostate Cancer-Specific Death for Men Treated With Radiation Therapy: Meta-Analysis of Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Trials[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The impact of age on prostate cancer (PCa) outcome has been controversial; therefore, we analyzed the effect of age on overall survival (OS), distant metastasis, prostate cancer-specific death (PCSD), and nonprostate cancer death (NPCD) on patients with locally advanced PCa. Patients who participated in four Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) phase III trials, 8531, 8610, 9202, and 9413, were studied. Cox proportional hazards regression was used for OS analysis, and cumulative events analysis with Fine and Gray's regression was used for analyses of metastasis, PCSD, and NPCD. Median follow-up of 4,128 patients with median age of 70 (range, 43-88 years) was 7.3 years. Most patients had high-risk disease: cT3 to cT4 (54%) and Gleason scores (GS) of 7 (45%) and 8 to 10 (27%). Older age (≤70 vs. >70 years) predicted for decreased OS (10-year rate, 55% vs. 41%, respectively; p<0.0001) and increased NPCD (10-year rate, 28% vs. 46%, respectively; p<0.0001) but decreased metastasis (10-year rate, 27% vs. 20%, respectively; p<0.0001) and PCSD (10-year rate, 18% vs. 14%, respectively; p<0.0001). To account for competing risks, outcomes were analyzed in 2-year intervals, and age-dependent differences in metastasis and PCSD persisted, even in the earliest time periods. When adjusted for other covariates, an age of >70 years remained associated with decreased OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.56 [95% confidence interval [CI], 1.43-1.70] p<0.0001) but with decreased metastasis (HR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.63-0.83] p<0.0001) and PCSD (HR, 0.78 [95% CI, 0.66-0.92] p<0.0001). Finally, the impact of the duration of androgen deprivation therapy as a function of age was evaluated. These data support less aggressive PCa in older men, independent of other clinical features. While the biological underpinning of this finding remains unknown, stratification by age in future trials appears to be warranted.
Article: Baseline Serum Testosterone in Men Treated With Androgen Deprivation Therapy and Radiotherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It is believed that men diagnosed with prostate cancer and a low baseline serum testosterone (BST) may have more aggressive disease, and it is frequently recommended they forego testosterone replacement therapy. We used two large Phase III trials involving androgen deprivation therapy and external beam radiation therapy to assess the significance of a BST. All patients with a BST and complete data (n = 2,478) were included in this analysis and divided into four categories: "Very Low BST" (VLBST) ≤16.5th percentile of BST (≤248 ng/dL; n = 408); "Low BST" (LBST) >16.5th percentile and ≤33rd percentile (>248 ng/dL but ≤314 ng/dL; n = 415); "Average BST" (ABST) >33rd percentile and ≤67th percentile (314-437 ng/dL; n = 845); and "High BST" (HBST) >67th percentile (>437 ng/dL; n = 810). Outcomes included overall survival, distant metastasis, biochemical failure, and cause-specific survival. All outcomes were adjusted for the following covariates: treatment arm, BST, age (<70 vs. ≥70), prostate-specific antigen (PSA; <10 vs. 10 ≤ PSA <20 vs. 20 ≤), Gleason score (2-6 vs. 7 vs. 8-10); T stage (T1-T2 vs. T3-T4), and Karnofsky Performance Status (60-90 vs. 100). On multivariable analysis age, Gleason score, and PSA were independently associated with an increased risk of biochemical failure, distant metastasis and a reduced cause-specific and overall survival (p < 0.05), but BST was not. BST does not affect outcomes in men treated with external beam radiation therapy and androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer.
Article: MDM2 and Ki-67 Predict for Distant Metastasis and Mortality in Men Treated With Radiotherapy and Androgen Deprivation for Prostate Cancer: RTOG 92-02[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: PURPOSE MDM2 regulates p53, which controls cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Both proteins, along with Ki-67, which is an established strong determinant of metastasis, have shown promise in predicting the outcome of men treated with radiation therapy (RT) with or without short-term androgen deprivation (STAD). This report compares the utility of abnormal expression of these biomarkers in estimating progression in a cohort of men treated on RTOG 92-02. PATIENTS AND METHODS Adequate tissue for immunohistochemistry was available for p53, Ki-67, and MDM2 analyses in 478 patient cases. The percentage of tumor nuclei staining positive (PSP) was quantified manually or by image analysis, and the per-sample mean intensity score (MIS) was quantified by image analysis. Cox regression models were used to estimate overall mortality (OM), and Fine and Gray's regressions were applied to the end points of distant metastasis (DM) and cause-specific mortality (CSM). Results In multivariate analyses that adjusted for all markers and treatment covariates, MDM2 overexpression was significantly related to DM (P = .02) and OM (P = .003), and Ki-67 overexpression was significantly related to DM (P < .0001), CSM (P = .0007), and OM (P = .01). P53 overexpression was significantly related to OM (P = .02). When considered in combination, the overexpression of both Ki-67 and MDM2 at high levels was associated with significantly increased failure rates for all end points (P < .001 for DM, CSM, and OM). CONCLUSION Combined MDM2 and Ki-67 expression levels were independently related to distant metastasis and mortality and, if validated, could be considered for risk stratification of patients with prostate cancer in clinical trials.
Article: Potential Surrogate Endpoints for Prostate Cancer Survival: Analysis of a Phase III Randomized Trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The identification of surrogate endpoints for prostate cancer-specific survival may shorten the length of clinical trials for prostate cancer. We evaluated distant metastasis and general clinical treatment failure as potential surrogates for prostate cancer-specific survival by use of data from the Radiation Therapy and Oncology Group 92-02 randomized trial. Patients (n = 1554 randomly assigned and 1521 evaluable for this analysis) with locally advanced prostate cancer had been treated with 4 months of neoadjuvant and concurrent androgen deprivation therapy with external beam radiation therapy and then randomly assigned to no additional therapy (control arm) or 24 additional months of androgen deprivation therapy (experimental arm). Data from landmark analyses at 3 and 5 years for general clinical treatment failure (defined as documented local disease progression, regional or distant metastasis, initiation of androgen deprivation therapy, or a prostate-specific antigen level of 25 ng/mL or higher after radiation therapy) and/or distant metastasis were tested as surrogate endpoints for prostate cancer-specific survival at 10 years by use of Prentice's four criteria. All statistical tests were two-sided. At 3 years, 1364 patients were alive and contributed data for analysis. Both distant metastasis and general clinical treatment failure at 3 years were consistent with all four of Prentice's criteria for being surrogate endpoints for prostate cancer-specific survival at 10 years. At 5 years, 1178 patients were alive and contributed data for analysis. Although prostate cancer-specific survival was not statistically significantly different between treatment arms at 5 years (P = .08), both endpoints were consistent with Prentice's remaining criteria. Distant metastasis and general clinical treatment failure at 3 years may be candidate surrogate endpoints for prostate cancer-specific survival at 10 years. These endpoints, however, must be validated in other datasets.
Article: Cardiovascular Mortality After Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer: RTOG 85-31[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists are associated with greater risk of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction in men with prostate cancer, but little is known about potential impact on cardiovascular mortality. We assessed the relationship between GnRH agonists and cardiovascular mortality in a large randomized phase III trial of men treated with or without adjuvant goserelin after radiation therapy (RT) for locally advanced prostate cancer. Between 1987 and 1992, 945 men with locally advanced prostate cancer were randomly assigned to RT and adjuvant goserelin or RT alone. Fine and Gray's regression was used to evaluate treatment effect on cardiovascular mortality. Covariates included age, prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), body mass index, race, Gleason score, stage, acid phosphatase level, prostatectomy history, and nodal involvement. After a median follow-up of 8.1 years, there were 117 cardiovascular-related deaths but no treatment-related increase in cardiovascular mortality. At 9 years, cardiovascular mortality for men receiving adjuvant goserelin was 8.4% v 11.4% for men treated without adjuvant goserelin (Gray's P = .17). In multiple regression analyses, treatment arm was not significantly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.73; 95% CI, 0.47 to 1.15; P = .16; when censoring at time of salvage goserelin therapy, HR = 0.99; 95% CI, 0.58 to 1.69; P = .97). Traditional cardiac risk factors, including prevalent CVD and DM, were significantly associated with greater cardiovascular mortality. GnRH agonists do not seem to increase cardiovascular mortality in men with locally advanced prostate cancer. Further studies are warranted to evaluate adverse effects of GnRH agonists in men with lower cancer-specific mortality.
Article: Cardiovascular Mortality and Duration of Androgen Deprivation for Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer: Analysis of RTOG 92-02[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) are associated with greater risk of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction in men with prostate cancer, but little is known about their potential effects on cardiovascular mortality. We assessed the relationship between duration of GnRHa therapy and cardiovascular mortality in a large randomized trial of men treated with short-term versus longer-term adjuvant goserelin and radiation therapy (RT) for locally advanced prostate cancer. From 1992 to 1995, 1554 men with locally advanced prostate cancer (T2c-4, prostate-specific antigen [PSA] <150 ng/ml) received RT and 4 mo of goserelin and then were randomized to no additional therapy (arm 1) or 24 mo adjuvant goserelin (arm 2) in a phase 3 trial (Radiation Therapy Oncology Group [RTOG] 92-02). Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship between treatment arm and cardiovascular mortality. Covariates included age, prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypertension, diabetes (DM), race, PSA, Gleason score, and stage. After median follow-up of 8.1 yr, 185 cardiovascular-related deaths had occurred. No increase in cardiovascular mortality occurred for men receiving a longer duration of goserelin. At 5 yr, cardiovascular mortality for men receiving longer-term adjuvant goserelin was 5.9% versus 4.8% with short-term goserelin (Gray's p=0.16). In multivariate analyses, treatment arm was not significantly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]=1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81-1.47; p=0.58; when censoring at time of salvage goserelin, HR=1.02, 95%CI, 0.73-1.43; p=0.9). Traditional cardiac risk factors, including age, prevalent CVD, and DM, were significantly associated with greater cardiovascular mortality. Longer duration of adjuvant GnRHa therapy does not appear to increase cardiovascular mortality in men with locally advanced prostate cancer.
Article: Diabetes and Mortality in Men With Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer: RTOG 92-02 Editorial Comment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Diabetes is associated with lower risk of prostate cancer. Most men with diabetes are obese, and obesity is associated with greater prostate cancer mortality. Whether diabetes influences outcomes after prostate cancer diagnosis is unknown. We assessed the relationship between prevalent diabetes and mortality using data from Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Protocol 92-02, a large randomized trial of men (N = 1,554) treated with radiation therapy and short-term versus long-term adjuvant goserelin for locally advanced prostate cancer. Regression and proportional hazard models were performed to evaluate relationships between prevalent diabetes and all-cause mortality, prostate cancer mortality, and non-prostate cancer mortality. Covariates included age, race, tumor stage, Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen, weight, and treatment arm. There were a total of 765 deaths; 210 (27%) were attributed to prostate cancer. In univariate analyses, prevalent diabetes was associated with greater all-cause mortality and non-prostate cancer mortality but not prostate cancer mortality. After controlling for other covariates, prevalent diabetes remained significantly associated with greater all-cause mortality and non-prostate cancer mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.12; 95% CI, 1.69 to 2.66; P < .0001) but not prostate cancer mortality (HR = 0.80; 95% CI, 0.51 to 1.25; P = .34). In contrast, weight was associated with greater prostate cancer mortality (HR = 1.77; 95% CI, 1.22 to 2.55; P = .002) but not all-cause or non-prostate cancer mortality. Weight but not prevalent diabetes is associated with greater prostate cancer mortality in men receiving combined modality treatment for locally advanced disease. These observations suggest that the association between obesity and greater prostate cancer mortality is mediated by mechanism(s) other than the characteristic metabolic alterations of diabetes.

Article: Ten-Year Follow-Up of Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Protocol 92-02: A Phase III Trial of the Duration of Elective Androgen Deprivation in Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine whether adding 2 years of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) improved outcome for patients electively treated with ADT before and during radiation therapy (RT). Prostate cancer patients with T2c-T4 prostate cancer with no extra pelvic lymph node involvement and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) less than 150 ng/mL were included. All patients received 4 months of goserelin and flutamide before and during RT. They were randomized to no further ADT (short-term ADT [STAD] + RT) or 24 months of goserelin (long-term ADT [LTAD] + RT). A total of 1,554 patients were entered. RT was 45 Gy to the pelvic nodes and 65 to 70 Gy to the prostate. Median follow-up of all survival patients is 11.31 and 11.27 years for the two arms. At 10 years, the LTAD + RT group showed significant improvement over the STAD + RT group for all end points except overall survival: disease-free survival (13.2% v 22.5%; P < .0001), disease-specific survival (83.9% v 88.7%; P = .0042), local progression (22.2% v 12.3%; P < .0001), distant metastasis (22.8% v 14.8%; P < .0001), biochemical failure (68.1% v 51.9%; P <or= .0001), and overall survival (51.6% v 53.9%, P = .36). One subgroup analyzed consisted of all cancers with a Gleason score of 8 to 10 cancers. An overall survival difference was observed (31.9% v 45.1%; P = .0061), as well as in all other end points herein. LTAD as delivered in this study for the treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer is superior to STAD for all end points except survival. A survival advantage for LTAD + RT in the treatment of locally advanced tumors with a Gleason score of 8 to 10 suggests that this should be the standard of treatment for these high-risk patients.

Fundamental question here. Typically in AS3 you load in a SWF via the Loader, and what you get is some sort of pseudo MovieClip that is of type "Loader".
Is there any holy way under the sun to cast this loaded SWF to a custom type that extends MovieClip and not Loader, assuming the SWF was published with a base class of the custom type? Without data loss?
Alternatively, let's say you can't, can you even cast it from a custom type that extends Loader itself?

An epoch-dividing event recently took place in the religion that brought us B.C. and A.D. Too bad hardly anyone noticed.
For years, a dispute has boiled between the American Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion it belongs to, with many in the global south convinced that Episcopalians are following their liberalism into heresy. This month, Archbishop Peter Akinola, shepherd of 18 million fervent Nigerian Anglicans, reached the end of his patience and installed a missionary bishop to America. The installation ceremony included boisterous hymns and Africans dressed in bright robes dancing before the altar -- an Anglican worship style more common in Kampala, Uganda, than in Woodbridge.
The American presiding bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, condemned this poaching of souls on her turf as a violation of the "ancient customs of the church." To which the archbishop replied, in essence: Since when have you American liberals given a fig about the ancient customs of the church?
Such conflicts used to be decided in the Church of England by the king putting someone in the Tower of London. That does not appear to be an option in this case.
The media, as is their habit, reported this story as another front in the American culture war: conservative Anglicans seeking refuge in the arms of like-minded African opponents of homosexual marriage. Those debates on sexuality are real enough -- but this explanation is far too narrow.
The intense, irrepressible Christianity of the global south is becoming -- along with Coca-Cola, radical Islam and Shakira -- one of the most potent forms of globalization. When I visited Martyn Minns, the missionary bishop installed by Akinola, his first reference was not to St. Paul or to St. John but to St. Thomas: Thomas Friedman of the New York Times. "The Church is flat," Minns told me, paraphrasing the title of Friedman's bestselling book. Rigid, outdated church bureaucracies are proving unable to adjust to the shifting market of world Christianity. "People used to pronouncing from on high," he said, are now "gasping for air."
In 1900, about 80 percent of Christians lived in North America and Europe; now, more than 60 percent live on other continents. There are more Presbyterians in Ghana than in Scotland. The largest district of the United Methodist Church is found in Ivory Coast. And many of the enthusiastic converts of Western missions have begun asking why portions of the Western church have abandoned the traditional faith they once shared. Liberal Protestant church officials, headed toward international assemblies, are anxiously counting African votes, because these new voters tend to take their Bible both literally and seriously.

Enough Said
A divorced and single parent, Eva (Julia Louis Dreyfus) spends her days enjoying work as a masseuse but dreading her daughter's impending departure for college. She meets Albert (James Gandolfini)—a sweet, funny and like-minded man also facing an empty nest. As their romance quickly blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne (Catherine Keener), her new massage client. Marianne is a beautiful poet who seems "almost perfect" except for one prominent quality: she rags on her ex-husband way too much. Suddenly, Eva finds herself doubting her own relationship with Albert as she learns the truth about Marianne's ex. ENOUGH SAID is a sharp, insightful comedy that humorously explores the mess that often comes with getting involved again.

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
Holofcener delivers her most confident character comedy to date - a work of deceptively informal mastery - and Gandolfini's gentle performance just about breaks your heart.Ty Burr, Boston Globe, 09.26.2013
Enough Said is a romantic comedy about hurting the people you love, who you want to love - and making mistakes that may be impossible to recover from.Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer, 09.27.2013
In the terse space film provides, Holofcener capturing her characters deftly. We know their fears, needs, lonesomeness. We trust the cars they drive, the food they eat, the rooms they keep tidy, or not.Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post, 09.27.2013
The easy chemistry between Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini is wonderfully charming - you're rooting for them even as the falsehoods pile up and the poison begins to flow.Tom Long, Detroit News, 09.27.2013

I was a little nervous purchasing a rug over the internet - there is so much that could go wrong ...color, texture, size, but with all that being said, this rug is perfect. It fits exactly what I wanted in every way. It's so soft that my kids love to roll around on it. The size is very true to the description and the colors were not as vibrant as pictured (this is what we wanted). We have light gray walls, a creamy white sofa, and lots of wood tones in our very historic stone cottage home - couldn't have asked for more, especially at this price point.Read More

This is what happens in this week's parsha. In Parshat Pekuday, Moses gives the Israelites an accounting of how much gold, silver and copper was contributed to build the mishkan (the Tabernacle that held the Ten Commandments). This helps the Israelites to truly own the mishkan -- it is their own creation that they can now offer to God. Moses knew that doing the math helped the Israelites feel good about their generosity.
March 8 is International Women's Day!
The first National Woman's Day was observed in the United States in 1909. It became International Women's Day in 1911, when European women joined the movement to promote and protect the equal rights of women. Only a few days later, the famous and tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire occurred in New York. More than 140 working girls, mostly Italian and Jewish immigrants, were killed. This spurred women around the world to join the movement to improve women's working conditions, salaries and participation in politics. Women have come a long way since those days.
