Though results are most often stable, cartilage and tissue may gradually move or reshape over time. The nasal tissues are relatively stable by three to six months after surgery. However, some changes can still occur for up to a year or more after surgery.
Most people find that septoplasty improves their symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, caused by a deviated septum. The level of improvement you can expect with septoplasty may vary.
Some people find that their symptoms continue even after surgery and opt to undergo a revision septoplasty to further refine the nose and septum.

|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Yūsuke (ユウスケ, Yūsuke) is a fisherman in the Land of Fire.
Background Edit
When he was a child, he and his father tried to catch a giant summoned marlin, they failed, resulting in his father's death. Yūsuke became determined to avenge his father by catching the marlin.
Part II Edit
Paradise Life on a Boat Edit
When Aoba and Guy were beaten by a summoned marlin (a victim of the Third Great Shinobi War), Yūsuke tried to beat it, only to be saved by Naruto. He said because of the summon, fishermen were scared to catch fish and thus were unable to venture into the sea. He wanted to have a sturdier boat, an internal combustion engine and a fishing rod with which he could catch the marlin.
The following day, using his sturdy fishing rod and boat, created by Yamato using Wood Release, and the boat being powered by Guy using the Eight Gates, Yūsuke managed to catch the marlin, but allowed Naruto, Guy, Aoba and Yamato to return it to its birthplace. The next morning, the four ninja prepared themselves for their departure, and went to sea. Yūsuke waves goodbye to Naruto as the ninja set sail.
Trivia Edit
- Yūsuke's appearance was modelled after his seiyū, singer Yūsuke Kamiji. He also performed Otakebi, the movie theme of Naruto the Movie: Blood Prison, which premiered a week before Yūsuke's debut in the anime.

Warring States Period
this wiki
Before the village system was established with the founding of Konohagakure by the Senju and Uchiha, the Era of the Warring States (戦国時代, Sengoku Jidai) was an extremely lengthy and bloody period in history where hundreds of individual shinobi clans fought in constant, bitter warfare.
During this era, conflicts perpetually arose between the various nations as each crusaded for more rights and land. In order to wage these wars, each individual shinobi clan rented its military might to the highest bidder.[1] Due to the unrelenting violence, the average life-span for a shinobi was a mere 30 years, though the single biggest reason for the continuing fall in life expectancy was the slaughter of countless conscripted children.[2] With the continued loss of their kin, a never ending cycle of death and revenge was born, which saw shinobi having to even conceal their surnames for fear of retaliation.[3]
Amongst the warring clans, only two came to be feared as the strongest: the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, who developed a deep enmity as they were often hired to oppose one another due to their rivaling strength. Eventually, both Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha grew to become the respective leaders of these rival clans, but despite their childhood friendship, the two were inevitably pitted against one another. During this time, Madara and his brother discovered the secret of the Sharingan; becoming the first to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. Though with the constant battles, Madara's vision degraded further and further until he decided to take his brother's eyes, gaining an "Eternal" Mangekyō Sharingan with which to keep fighting.[4]
However, after decades of conflict, most of the clans under the Uchiha and Senju banners formed the first lasting truce after growing weary of the continued bloodshed. The only person who opposed this peace was Madara, who argued for the Uchiha clan to continue the fighting, but was ultimately persuaded to join in a permanent alliance with the Senju clan. Soon after, a pact was formed with the Land of Fire and thus, Konohagakure was formed. This set a precedence which others soon followed, creating the Five Great Shinobi Countries, as well as some smaller, outlying villages and settlements.[5]
The Sengoku Period (戦国時代, Sengoku Jidai) or Warring States Period, was a time when Japan was in civil war and the demand for ninja was high. This moment in history was the time of many of famous ninja, including Hattori Hanzō. But after the war resolved, their services were cut in a united Japan and, ninja began to fade into history.
The Warring States Period (simplified Chinese: 战国时代; traditional Chinese: 戰國時代; pinyin: Zhànguó Shídài) is also a period in Chinese History, following the Spring and Autumn period and concluding with the victory of the state of Qin in 221 BC, creating a unified China under the Qin Dynasty.

Gaines bests Campanale in 4th District Assembly special election
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
Republican Beth Gaines was on her way to a special election win against Assembly District 4 opponent Dennis Campanale on Tuesday. Gaines had secured a comfortable 10-percentage-point lead early on from absentee ballots and with low voter turnout not expected to shift the election her Democratic Party opponent's way, was confident enough to declare herself the winner at 9:30 p.m. – I½ hours after polls had closed. The California Secretary of State had Gaines leading with 55.4 percent of the vote, with 80 percent of District 4's precincts partially reporting. Campanale had garnered 44.6 percent. By the numbers, Gaines had 38,190 votes to Campanale's 30,764. "This is just the beginning – not the end," Gaines said, to hearty applause at an election-night party in a Roseville hotel. "I feel something great is about to happen." Gaines told about 100 supporters, including her husband, state Sen. Ted Gaines, 4th District Sen. Doug La Malfa, R-Redding, and Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway of Tulare, that she sees a movement growing to bring jobs back and attract business to California and the 4th Assembly District. Beth Gaines not only succeeds her husband as District 4 Assembly member but also joins Ted Gaines in the Capitol. Gaines was elected state senator for the 1st District in January. When he stepped down from his Assembly seat, his wife of 25 years threw her hat in the ring with seven other candidates. "I think she's going to do a great job, with a woman's perspective," Ted Gaines said. "She has unique talents. She's incredibly good with people and has a real interest in education, family and healthcare. She'll serve the state and the 4th District well." Campanale and Beth Gaines emerged as the top two vote-getters in the March 8 primary, leading to Tuesday's election. Both Campanale and Gaines had never held elected office. Campanale ran against Ted Gaines for the District 4 Assembly seat in November and lost. Bogdan Ambrozewicz, one of the seven Republicans running in the March 8 primary, said Tuesday that he was disappointed in the way the election went and Beth Gaines's victory. "Basically she just bought the election with her husband's name and connections," Ambrozewicz said. "Ted Gaines got greedy. It's not about qualifications. It's how much money you have and how you market yourself. She basically fooled people and it's too bad. Our district could be better-represented." Attempts to reach Campanale for a comment Tuesday were unsuccessful. He said last week that without state Democratic Party financial support, his chances of winning were "slight." Gaines, a Roseville resident, stressed job creation and business support during a campaign that started in January. While Campanale ran a low-key campaign with little voter outreach and sparse funding, Gaines raised more than $250,000 and visited many of the communities in the district. Campanale raised less than $5,000. The 4th District takes in much of Placer County and El Dorado County, with all of tiny Alpine County and a small portion of Sacramento County also inside its boundaries.

The Weld County coroner has released the names of four people, including two children, who were killed in a two-vehicle crash east of Greeley.
Mark Ward identified the victims as 45-year-old Jamie Prado-Garcia and his wife, 63-year-old Linda Alvarez, both of Omaha, Neb. The two children killed in the crash were 8-year-old Pedro Partida and 2-year-old Christian Partida, of Evans. The boys were nephews of Prado-Garcia.
Cpl. Heather Cobler, a spokeswoman for the Colorado State Patrol, says a man driving a flatbed truck was southbound on County Road 49 when he crashed into a car that went through a stop sign at the intersection of County Road 54 on Saturday morning.
The Greeley Tribune reports the truck driver was taken by helicopter to a hospital, but Cobler says she doesn't know his condition.

Environmental groups in Canada and Maine are raising more red flags today about signs that heavy, corrosive tar sands oil mined in Alberta could be destined for Portland, Maine. In a formal application to Canada's National Energy Board today, the Enbridge pipeline company asked permission to reverse the flow of a Quebec-to-Ontario pipeline. But as Susan Sharon reports, pipeline companies say environmental groups are distorting their plans.
The case environmental groups make for their concerns about Enbridge's plans for transporting tar sands oil.
Environmental groups, including Greenpeace and the Natural Resources Defense Council, say the Enbridge application is clear evidence that oil companies are planning to transport tar sands oil from western Canada through Quebec - and eventually all the way through New England to Portland Harbor.
Enbridge has repeatedly denied that getting to East Coast ports is its goal. Graham White is a spokesman for the company. "We haven't had discussions in that area and there are no plans to do that," he says.
The Portland-to-Montreal Pipe Line Corporation, based in South Portland, takes a similar position. Oil in its pipeline currently flows from Portland to Montreal. But Dylan Voorhees, of the Natural Resources Council of Maine, says, despite the Maine company's denials, signs have been evident for the past year that it is also moving to change direction.
"And some of those include the permits that they've been able to get over the last couple of years from the Maine DEP for changes to their pipeline and terminal in South Portland," he says. "They have an application pending for a pumping station outside of Montreal, the sole purpose of which would be to send oil from Montreal down to the U.S., and there's a lot of other bits and pieces that indicate the company's really been going forward in a piecemeal fashion."
"We have said consistently that there is no project, and, in fact, there is no project," says Ted O'Meara, a spokesman for the Portland-to-Montreal Pipe Line Corporation. "You know, there is no project to reverse the flow of oil in either of Portland-Montreal pipelines that go from South Portland to Montreal."
Voorhees says that doesn't mean the company isn't looking down the road. He points to a meeting held late last year that included representatives from the pipeline company, lobbyists for tar sands oil and Gov. Paul LePage as a possible precursor to reverse the Portland-to-Montreal Pipeline's flow of oil.
He also says the company has been distributing information touting tar sands oil to Maine towns along its route. O'Meara says it's just part of the company's messaging, nothing more.
"You know, they consistently maintain good communications with communities along the pipeline route and with state officials," he says. "There's nothing new here. This is the way they do business."
Environmentalists worry about the risks of a pipeline accident or spill involving tar sands, which is an acidic, thick form of crude that cannot flow unless it's heated or diluted with chemicals. Voorhees describes it as having a consistency between coal and oil.
"When tar sands does spill, like it did two years ago in Michigan into the Kalamazoo River, it causes much more damage to peoples' health and to the environment," he says. "And it's really nearly impossible to clean up."
Because the Portland-to-Montreal pipeline runs along the Androscoggin River, the Crooked River and Sebago Lake - which provides drinking water to the greater Portland area - Voorhees says any transmission of tar sands oil would be a grave concern.
But Graham White of Enbridge says environmentalists either misunderstand, or mischaracterize, the type of crude that will be carried in the Canadian pipeline.
"These are not, as they describe, highly corrosive crude," he says. "Before you can put this product into a transmission line, you have to process it. So you have to take out the sediment, the sand, other impurities, before it can go in the line."
But the process is of little consolation to environmental groups, who say even in its more refined form, tar sands has a massive environmental and climate footprint. They're calling on the U.S. State Department to ensure a full review of any attempt to bring the oil into Maine.

Members of parliament have blamed poor business environment as the main contributor to the increasing tax exemptions which reached over 1.0trn/- for the year 2011/12, in bid to attract foreign investors.
The lawmakers said that if the government improves the business environment such as roads, reliable power, railways there will be no need for it to provide such a wide range of tax incentives.
They were contributing to the report titled "Tax Competition in East Africa: A race to the Bottom? Presented by Policy Forum to the members of African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption (APNAC) –Tanzania Chapter in a meeting here yesterday.
Ilemela Member of Parliament Ezekiel Wenje said that poor business environment is one of the main problems that cause tax competition to be stiff among the East African member states.
He said the country's poor infrastructure such as roads and unreliable power are important factors for investment. He also cited a private airline Precision Air, saying that it purchases jet fuel in Kenya because it is cheaper than in Tanzania.
"If the service industry in Tanzania is improved there will be no need of providing a wide range of tax incentives…sometimes the government decides to provide incentives to business due to poor environment," Wenje said.
Kigoma- South legislator David Kafulila (NCCR-Mageuzi) said it is high time the country formed a budget committee to increase financial accountability instead of leaving everything to the finance minister, saying the system is applied in other countries.
Kafulila said tax exemption in Kenya and Uganda is 1 percent of the Gross Domestic Product, Rwanda 0.4 percent while for Tanzania it ranges between 3 to 4.8 percent.
He urged Policy Forum to establish a system of meeting with the members of finance and economy parliamentary committee to present their findings so that they can be incorporated into the budget.
Busega MP Dr Titus Kimani called on the government to look into the possibility of reducing taxes which caused many to find ways to evade paying them.
He said many investors evade taxes because one business can be associated with payment of taxes to more than one institution discouraging investors from complying.
Igalula legislator Athuman Mfutakamba called for harmonisation of taxes for EAC member states which benefit from Lake Victoria resources so as to enable the country get revenue.
Presenting the report to the MPs, a Lecturer with Mzumbe University –Dar es Salaam branch and Economic Consultant Dr Honest Ngowi said the tax incentives led to revenue losses and may not necessarily be needed to attract and retain Foreign Direct Investments.
He said the presence of tax holidays has enabled a number of firms, notably mining companies, manufacturing and processing firms, hotels and tourist lodges to effectively escape taxation.
He said according to the available estimates revenue losses from all tax exemptions and incentives may be as high as 1.8trn/- in 2008 and that the minimum revenue loss from tax incentives granted to companies alone is 381bn/- a year for the years 2008/09 to 2009/10.
"Due to the exemptions the country is being deprived of the badly needed financial resources for financing public expenditure of goods and services both in the development and recurrent budget. These are resources that if collected could contribute substantially to reduce the number of 36 percent of Tanzanians living below poverty line," Dr Ngowi said.
The report recommended that the government should remove some tax incentives granted to attract and retain FDIs especially those provided to the mining sector, Export Processing Zones, and Special Economic Zones and be responsible and accountable to the public in all matters related to granting of tax incentives and exemptions.

Authorities say a U.S. Coast Guard member was killed and another was injured when their small boat was rammed by a smuggler's vessel before dawn off the Southern California coast.
Ventura County chief deputy medical examiner James Baroni says 34-year-old Terrell Horne III of Redondo Beach was pronounced dead early Sunday at the Port of Hueneme (why-NEEM-mee).
The second man was treated for minor injuries. His name wasn't released.
The Coast Guard says the smuggler's panga maneuvered at a high rate of speed directly at the small boat before fleeing. Both Coast Guard members were thrown into the water.
Two suspects on the panga were detained.
The small boat was deployed by the Coast Guard cutter Halibut, which was conducting an investigation into suspected smuggling near the Channel Islands west of Malibu.

Religion is a topic sometimes referred to in the Grand Theft Auto series, whether it be through the words of characters and radio, or through objects in the games' environments. These references are listed in this article.
Christianity, Atheism and Epsilonism exist in the Universes of the game.
2D Universe
Grand Theft Auto 2
In GTA 2, the only way to save the game is by using the Jesus Saves church. They are identified by a neon sign with the name written on it, but every few seconds the J, E, and both S's in JESUS flicker off, causing the sign to read "U SAVE".
3D Universe
Grand Theft Auto III
In Grand Theft Auto III the "Jesus Saves" feature from GTA 2 was removed and replaced with the safe house based saving system.
- In Bedford Point there is a Catholic Church, the Liberty City Cathedral.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
There isn't a church anywhere in Vice City.
- In the beta, Pastor Richards was supposed to play a larger role (he only appears briefly in The Party, and also as a guest on Pressing Issues). His character was largely removed because his voice actor, David Green, passed away during development.
- Pastor Richards reveals on Pressing Issues that he promises salvation to people who give him money, a possible reference to the Church of Scientology.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Religion is occasionally heard of in San Andreas in 1992, most notably the Epsilon Program.
- There are non-interactive churches located in Jefferson in Los Santos, Ocean Flats and Calton Heights in San Fierro, and Blackfield in Las Venturas.
- There is a business in Palomino Creek called Park 'n' Pray Drive Thru Confessions.
- There is an "Erotic Wedding Chapel" in Roca Escalante, Las Venturas.
- Lazlow interviews Epsilon Program leader Cris Formage on an Entertaining America show. Epsilonism is a parody of the Church of Scientology.
- Billy Dexter, former Entertaining America host, says "Kifflom!", hinting he is an Epsilon follower.
- Katie Zhan, one of CJ's possible girlfriends, says that she doesn't like the Epsilon cult and refers to it's followers as "nut jobs".
- Maccer and Jezz Torrent both claim that Epsilon helped them with their drug problems.
- Darius Fontaine hates religion.
- A male caller on I Say/You Say claims to be an Atheist, but loves the Bible. He prefers the name "Mary" over his own name because of the name's prominence in the Bible.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Religion plays a small role in the storyline of LCS.
- As it is set in Liberty City, the Cathedral is in Bedford Point in 1998.
- Toni Cipriani does some missions for the 'priest' at the Cathedral. The priest turns out to be a Liberty Tree reporter impersonating the priest who tells Toni to perform crimes, then reports on them with the full story.
- What is a Punk Noodles factory in 2001 is the Holy rev. Joe's Flophouse. It is unknown who Reverend Joe is.
- Donald Love is found performing traditional Buddhist meditation ("I'm just seeking spiritual enlightenment, if you must ask but, not today") in the cutscene to the mission Love on the Run.
- On Chatterbox on LCFR, a caller tells Lazlow that he is campaigning to replace the Liberty Cathedral's garden with "a post-modern square building with Internet terminals and foosball tables to worship at". Lazlow disagrees with the caller, saying "come on, the church garden is beautiful!". By 2001, the church's main graveyard has been replaced by a large square concrete building, hinting that the plan was approved.
HD Universe
Grand Theft Auto IV
There are churches throughout Grand Theft Auto IV's rendition of Liberty City, as well as some characters making comments about religion:
- There is a church in Leftwood, Alderney.
- The Columbus Cathedral is a Catholic Church located in Hatton Gardens, Algonquin.
- There is a church in Suffolk, Algonquin. Depending on the player's choice, one of the McReary brothers' funerals (either Francis or Derrick) is held here, as well as Roman and Mallories wedding.

So yesterday morning before I talked w/ my daddy Maurice, I ran acrossed this video. By the end, I needed to grab a tissue. Jack Hoffman/Team Jack (7 years old), who has been battling brain cancer was able to hit the field make a touchdown during the Cornhuskers Spring scrimage game. Wow, I'm tearing up just typing this. When I talked w/ my daddy he said he was able to watch the game, and he even teared up. He was beaming w/ pride, and very proud of the Cornhuskers! These are the kind of moments that make you believe in mankind again. If you haven't seen the video, check it out, or watch it again. I tear up everytime. GO TEAM JACK!! GO CORNHUSKERS! YOU ROCK!

Haines Solar Cooker
this wiki
The Haines Solar Cooker combines the power of a Funnel cooker with stability of the traditional CooKit. It has been designed by Roger Haines of San Diego, California, USA. The cooker is made in the USA from a mylar-coated reflective bubble insulation material that is sold "off-the shelf" at Lowe's Home Centers in 4-foot by 25-foot rolls. The material can also be ordered on-line in the US under different brand names, and is also available in Europe, India and China. The material is strong (Roger has driven his car over it without breaking the bubbles) and it is unaffected by boiling water. The cooker is made from a single 48" by 48" rectangle of bubble material, and requires only three cuts with ordinary scissors for cooker assembly. In testing in San Diego, this cooker heated an empty pot to a sustained 380 degrees Fahrenheit (193 degrees Celsius) and heated a liter of water from room temperature to boiling in less than an hour.
The two curves of the cooker form an oval funnel that focuses the sun's rays on the cooking pot. The base of the cooker should be anchored with rocks or bricks as shown in the photo. On windy days, the bottom curve of the cooker can be prevented from being blown upward, by wrapping a circle of string around each side of the curve, and securing the string with the same brick or rock that is used to hold down the cooker. Cutting off the corners of the bottom curve will also reduce wind problems without affecting the cooker's performance, When the sun is high, the cut at the front bottom of the cooker can be overlapped and clipped together with a binder clip to form a kind of parabola to concentrate more sun on the cooking pot.
The Haines Polycarbonate Sleeve eliminates the nylon cooking bag commonly used in solar cooking. This sleeve is a 6" x 36" rectangle of UV-stabilized polycarbonate plastic film (.020"), such as Bayer Bayfol UV-1-72, or Lexan 8030, which is rolled into a cylinder to enclose the bottom and sides of the pot but not the top. The cylinder is held together with jumbo paper clips, thus allowing its diameter to be adjusted to fit a variety of cooking pots The pots must be round, with no handles, and must have a top rim that can rest on the top of the cylinder. The cylinder elevates the pot above the surface of the cooker, allowing the sun's rays to bounce off the reflective surface of the cooker and be absorbed by the bottom of the cooking pot. It also provides an insulating "greenhouse" making a traditional cooking bag unnecessary. Haines's testing indicates that a pot with a glass lid retains more heat than one with a metal lid.
Kirkpatrick Solar Cooker (Kirk-ook) variation
Mark Evans Kirkpatrick has offered a modified, more efficient version known as the Kirk-ook for less than $4.20USD. He improved the design when conducting a joint project between his Rotary Club,San Diego Coastal, and a Rotary District 5340 project partner. The project consisted of 291 solar cookers, called "Rotary District 5340 Cookers" (Haines design) sent to the Nairobi Mashariki Rotary Club of District 9212 in Kenya. The base reflector is slotted through the rear reflector to provide more stability for the cooker in windy conditions (with less base material extended and more base material supported). The bottom-rear of the cooker can be supported with rocks as shown in the picture. By extending the sides you will create a wave-formed ripple focusing more rays in the center for higher effectiveness (depending on the angle of the sun). Higher temperatures can be reached using a turkey bag around the pot & lid or split and covering the Kirk-ook on windy days (alleviating the effect from high winds known as wind chill) . The plastic film can be coated with UV agents to avoid discoloration and distortion. Alternate transparent plastics are being tested for higher heat resistance (*email suggestions). It is recommended using clear packaging tape to cover each area that is cut (easier when applied prior to cutting out the design) on each side of the cooker. Tape can also be added to other areas prone to wear-and-tear (mainly the latching triangles that connect the base and rear relector).

Fisking Ray Dirks on Medgenics and Shaming Seeking Alpha
TheStreet) -- Ray Dirks posted a screed against Idenix Pharmaceuticals (IDIX) and other hepatitis C drug companies on Seeking Alpha Monday night riddled with factual errors and misstatements. Idenix and other stocks were the foil Dirks used to promote Medgenics (MDGN) and its interferon "biopumps." Instead, he embarrassed himself with his fundamental ignorance about hepatitis C. As for Seeking Alpha, one has to ask if the web site has any competent editing and fact-checking capabilities at all.A proper fisking of Dirks' column follows: Dirks writes: Unstoppable Medgenics has gotten closer to crushing the competition for a better hepatitis C drug and moving to the front of a $16.5 billion market. Just as the first patient is being treated with INFRADURE, Idenix Pharmaceuticals -- trying valiantly to seek a cure for the insidious virus -- finally admitted its failure in coming up with a better drug. Medgenics unstoppable? Other than a brief spike to $15 per share last summer, Medgenics has been unable to escape the $4-5 per share trading range since its U.S. public equity debut in April 2011 -- an offering done only with the healthy dose of warrant sweeteners, by the way. Medgenics has a tiny 11% institutional ownership. Dirks: Imagine you're a doctor. You have a patient in pain with a disease that has no cure and who looks to you for help avoiding a future that could only be brightened by a liver transplant. Now imagine the single drug you can prescribe has well-documented side effects so heinous that 50% of patients stop taking it. If you find yourself in this position, then you have a patient with hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a serious, life-threatening disease. It's also curable. Vertex Pharmaceutical's (VRTX - Get Report) Incivek combined with long-acting (pegylated) interferon and ribavirin cures 70-80% of patients with the most common form of hepatitis C. Merck's (MRK) Victrelis is similarly effective in curing hepatitis C in combination therapy. Dirks: Much has been written on PEG-interferon alpha, the once-touted wonder drug for hepatitis C that later drew side effects ranging from lupus and diabetes to suicide. After more than 20 years with nothing new, scientists finally came up with a potential blockbuster -- the NS5B inhibitors that could stop the virus in its DNA tracks and dramatically change the scarred landscape of hepatitis treatments. One problem: They tend to kill people. Whoa. NS5B inhibitors -- more commonly known as nucleotide/nucleoside polymerase inhibitors or "nucs" -- are an emerging and potent class of oral, direct-acting antivirals against hepatitis C but only one of these drugs has been linked to a patient death Dirks: Last August, global giant Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY - Get Report) was forced by the FDA to stop all clinical trials of its NS5B after the death of a patient. And as a testament to the herd mentality of Big Pharma's cutthroat greed that competes to be the first, other firms joined the NS5B contest to replace interferon while analysts gushed over a potential $20 billion market for the new drugs. Wrong. Bristol halted a clinical trial of its guanosine-based nuc BMS-096084 after a patient died of heart failure. Additional patient suffered serious heart-related side effects. The "other firms" in the race to develop a potent Hep C nuc include Gilead Sciences (GILD - Get Report). Gilead's sofosbuvir is the most effective Hep C pill in clinical development today and will be filed for U.S. and European approval later this year. The drug has not been linked at all to significant toxicity, let alone patient deaths. If Medgenics is "unstoppable," how best to describe Gilead's stock performance? It's more than doubled in the past two years. Dirks: With Bristol Myers knocked out of the picture, others companies such as Gilead Sciences and Achillion Pharmaceuticals rallied on. I think it's only a matter of time before they all wise up and realize this drug is not only useless but dangerous. Thankfully for Americans, the FDA is doing something right by seriously questioning whether clinical trials of the NS5Bs should go on. Wrong. FDA is concerned with guanosine-based nucs and placed two such drugs from Idenix and one from Biocryst Pharmaceuticals (BCRX) on clinical hold. The safety of uridine-based nucs under development by Gilead, Vertex, Idenix and others have not been questioned and FDA has not placed these drugs on clinical hold.BOSTON (

With Maine's historic election results already tabulated, a new campaign is already underway at the State House. But in this election, only 186 voters will get to cast ballots. The newly-elected members of the Maine House and Senate will gather next month to elect a new attorney general, secretary of state ad state treasurer. A few of the candidates have held those positions before, but as A.J. Higgins reports, there are some new faces in the crowd.
It is sometimes perceived as the quiet election in which the average Maine voters has little or no influence in the outcome. But the stakes are high.
The candidates elected by the Maine Legislature to the constitutional offices of attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer will make decisions that affect the lives of all Mainers in ways ranging from enforcing state criminial and consumer protections laws, to registering their cars to ensuring that the state receives the best possible interests rates and returns on investments.
State Rep. Seth Berry, a Bowdoinham Democrat, says Maine's legislative system of electing constitutional officers invites comparisons to the national electoral college that elects the president.
"It's a winner-take-all system like the electoral college," Berry says. "We in the majority party, whichever party it is at the time, makes the choice for all intents and purposes. We do have an election together afterwards."
And there's a new majority party in town here at the State House. Unofficial results from Tuesday's balloting show that voters opted to erode the Republican majority they had authorized only two years ago. Now, Democrats will be calling the shots and among their very first actions next month will be the election of new constitutional officers.
And while the current Republican incumbents in those jobs are not precluded from running, chances are pretty good that Secretary of State Charlie Summers, Attorney General Bill Schneider and state Treasurer Bruce Poliquin will be cleaning out their desks.
Several prominent Democrats have already made it clear they intend to apply for those positions, including Portland attorney Jeremy Fischer.
"I always felt that the treasurer's position, in terms of policy making, was the biggest and most important position, even if it's not the most high profile, because of the work with finances, the work with investments through bonds, and then all of the boards and commissions that the treasurer sits on, from Dirigo Health to the retirement system, Maine State Housing, the Finance Authority of Maine," Fischer says. "There's some real great opportunities to work on public policy."
Fischer, a former state representative from Presque Isle and House chairman of the Appropriations Committee, is a strong proponent of independent state constitutional officers who are not motivated by political relationships, such as who the majority party is at the State House.
That's a position also shared by Tim Shannon, a Portland attorney and consultant to legislative candidates, who is making a bid for attorney general. Shannon knows there are Democrats who have been critical of actions undertaken by the current attorney general William Schneider that seemed to be carried out in concert with Republican Gov. Paul Lepage.
"The AG is not the Governor's lawyer and has independent duties and independent responsibilities to look out for the best interests of the people of Maine," Shannon says. "Now that usually lines up with cooperatively working with the agencies and defending them and representing them, and that's the bread and butter work. But it's important to remember that the AG's office has it's own professional non-partisan judgement to bring to bear."
Shannon will be challenged for the AG's post by Janet Mills, who formerly held the position under the Democratic majority two years ago. Mills, the current vice-chair of the Maine Democratic Party, says that after helping Maine Democrats win back their majorities in the House and Senate she is anxious to return to public service.
"I've had mangement experience, which I hope to put back into use, as head of the state's largest law firm, the Attorney General's Office," Mills says. "I want to pick up the ball and continue where I left off, in the areas of domestic violence and prescription drug abuse and trafficking."
Former Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap also hopes to reprise his role as Maine Secretary of State that he held prior to 2010. He says Mainers expect consistency and fairness from the secretary of state, and that efforts by current GOP Secretary Charlie Summers to end same-day voter registration -- an action that was repealed by voters a year later - sent the wrong message.
"You have to keep things very much in balance," Dunlap says. "And the policy approach, especially with things like repealing election-day registration, for example, I think showed a lack of balance in that approach."
Dunlap will be challenged by state Rep. Brian Bolduc, an Auburn Democrat.

|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The subject of this article is a real-life person, group, company, product, or creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
The Daily Mail was a Muggle tabloid newspaper. A few days after the attack on the Millennium Bridge in the summer of 1996, patrons were seen reading their tabloid of choice at Treats; The Daily Mail was among them.[1] Vernon Dursley was a reader.[2]
Behind the scenes
- The Daily Mail is a real-world tabloid newspaper, founded in 1896. The Daily Mail is the United Kingdom's second biggest-selling daily newspaper.
- J. K. Rowling has said she particularly dislikes this British tabloid, which once made references to a stalker she insisted did not exist, and conducted interviews with her estranged ex-husband. As one journalist noted, "Harry's Uncle Vernon is a grotesque philistine of violent tendencies and remarkably little brain. It is not difficult to guess which newspaper Rowling gives him to read."[3]
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)

The passage of waste is a basic function of all living organisms, which is so ingrained and routine that most of us do not even think twice about it. The inability to defecate in children is usually due either to a problem with formation of the anus or with the inability of the colon to push the stool from one end to the other (Hirschsprung's disease and other motility disorders).
Fact Sheet: Defecation Disorders after Surgery for Hirschsprung's Disease830
Over 1,000 new cases of Hirschsprung's disease are diagnosed in the USA every year. More than half the children treated appropriately with surgery for Hirschsprung's disease suffer from chronic problems with constipation, incontinence, and/or abdominal pain. Even as adults, over half will experience occasional episodes of incontinence, and 10% will endure constipation unresponsive to medical management. Nonetheless, adjustment for teenagers and young adults with Hirschsprung's disease is not different than for healthy children; successful adjustment depends largely on family support.

Fact Sheet: Hirschsprungs Disease in Children and Adults839
Hirschsprung's disease is an illness that people are born with (congenital), in which there is a lack of nerve cells (ganglion cells) in the segments of the intestinal tract located in the colon or rectum. Since the first operative curative technique for Hirschsprung's disease was described in 1948, progress in diagnostic methods and surgical techniques have allowed the survival and successful treatment of most children with Hirschsprung's disease. In spite of these advances, postoperative problems continue to occur. Recently, research has produced a better understanding of the disease, knowledge that will undoubtedly lead to further refinements of the surgical techniques and better treatment of these patients.Topics: Hirschsprung's Disease, Motility
Fact Sheet: Bowel Problems in Adults After Surgical Treatment for Childhood Hirschsprungs Disease840
By: Kasaya Tantiphlachiva, MD; Satish S.C. Rao, MD, PhD, FRCP (LON)
Hirschsprung's disease is a rare illness that people are born with (congenital). It occurs annually in about 1 in 5,000 live births. In Hirschsprung's disease there is a lack of nerve cells (ganglion cells) in segments of the intestinal tract located in the colon and/or rectum.
The treatment is surgery to remove the abnormal bowel segment and restore bowel continuity. Following surgical treatment, most children have a good outcome, but some have persistent bowel problems such as constipation, soiling, fecal incontinence, and inflammation in the colon (enterocolitis). These symptoms can impact the quality of life, which also needs to be addressed.

November 2009
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
In a time of constrained defense budgets, it is important to consider how the United States will preserve critical industrial and engineering capabilities. The concern obviously is to make sure the nation does not lose access to skills and supplies for future conflicts.
So what are some of the basics to sustain a healthy industrial base? First and foremost are programs that keep companies in business. Most defense contractors only supply the military and have few, if any, commercial customers. If the government doesn't buy, the design and engineering capabilities eventually disappear.
Another requisite is competition. So much has been written about competition that it hardly seems necessary to repeat this, but the evidence is that budget decisions routinely discount this critical element. When the U.S. industrial capability began to ramp up in World War II, the nation had the luxury of many suppliers that competed for contracts.
The reduced demand resulting from the collapse of the Soviet Union led to the fateful "last supper" with Defense Secretary William Perry, when the Pentagon directed the downsizing and consolidation of the U.S. industrial base.
That contraction has continued to this day to where we now have only one supplier for some major systems and numerous single sources (some overseas) for commodities. As competition is reduced, cost and quality suffer. This is almost axiomatic, but there is a real need, not only to maintain critical capabilities but to do so within the framework of a competitive environment. And that means keeping at least two suppliers in the game.
The two basic requirements for a healthy industrial base — ongoing programs and a competitive environment — can be achieved in a number of ways.
One way certainly is to have plans to implement follow-on programs to replace existing capability when it begins to wear out or technology mandates newer, more capable systems. What will the new fighter or submarine look like, and when do we begin the design process? Every system at some point goes away and needs replacement. An orderly planning and development process demands this planning always be ongoing.
Another track is to sustain programs in production until follow-on initiatives get under way. This keeps both design and manufacturing engineers in the game as systems are refined, modified, and upgraded throughout their operational lifetime. It also allows feedback to flow back to the designers for incorporation into current or follow-on designs.
A question often encountered is what to do when systems go out of production. How to keep design teams busy is the number one issue. There are various techniques to do this, but one way has been investigated by the Navy and documented in a Rand Corp. study, entitled "Sustaining U.S. Nuclear Submarine Design Capabilities." The trick is to keep the teams employed between program starts. The study posits two methods of doing this. One is to sustain design teams in between programs. The basic requirement is to find something useful for them to do. Another method is to stretch out the design effort for the next submarine. The problem to be overcome here is to keep the design technologically relevant through the extended design cycle. The study concluded that this actually shortens the time for next program start and results in reduced costs overall. This technique could be applied to other systems and platforms.
Maintaining competition when new starts are becoming fewer and further apart is becoming more difficult. But this, too, is fixable. One solution is to dual-source platforms and commodities. The response to this always seems to be that it costs too much. But many studies have documented that competition drives steeper learning curves and increases quality and responsiveness by contractors.
The new Air Force tanker and the second engine for the F-35 fighter are two prime examples. For sure, the alternative fighter engine for the F-16 was a great success. Those who flew the several versions of the F-16 with the old and both newer versions of the improved engines will testify to the vast improvement in quality and reliability. The advantage to the Defense Department is having two highly proficient makers of after-burning turbojet engines who are well positioned to develop the next generation fighter power plant when needed.
A final suggestion for the industrial base is to make the international trade regime more open for U.S. exports. NDIA has worked extensively on this issue. There has been some limited improvement in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, but much more needs to be done.
U.S. industry depends upon exports for its financial health and to maintain proficiency. Some areas of the industrial base, especially the space industry, are suffering. Regulations in this sector are so restrictive that U.S. industry is losing business to overseas competitors. One now routinely sees advertisements of "ITAR-Free" products in the space sector. This reflects the unreasonable restrictions the space industrial sector suffers.
One conclusion is inescapable: The industrial base requires active management. It can't be left on automatic pilot. And while cost is important, it can't be the overriding determinant in acquisition policy. Face it, the nation would be ill served, indeed, in a future crisis by a crippled industrial base that lacked the requisite skills base and capital standing to respond with alacrity to the demands that are placed upon it.

Sunday April 7, 2013
Augusta, Ga--Masters week is finally upon us as the eyes of the sporting world and beyond turns to Augusta. Today, moving in day for many of the top players in the world.
It is the calm before the storm. The gates behind me, nobody's here yet because it is Sunday at Augusta National. But the course itself, and the practice range is busy. A number of golfers already in town getting ready"
"You know you're really excited because you know you have a big challenge in front of you but this is the place where a lot of dreams can come true" said Hunter Mahan
The azaleas are in bloom signifying the begining of spring and the begining of masters week among those on hand today, the number one golfer in the world Tiger Woods. For pretty much everyone here, this is the start of something special.
"Just to get to come here every April and play in this golf tournament is just a dream come true" said Larry Mize " I'm like an excited kid every time to come back"
While many are here to compete and win, the amateurs are pretty much in a different boat. Tj Vogel is the Public Links champ and its safe to say it'll be tough to wipe the smile off his face.
"This is a lifetime dream of mine to be able to play in the Masters" said TJ Vogel "I wasn't expecting this to play as an amateur, so to be able to do it you know, at the age of 22, it's a great feeling"
The drive down Magnolia Lane will never get old. From long time veterans to the youngesters here for the first time. It's officially Masters week

- "Excuse me, but I never take drugs. We all know drugs are for losers, and/or sex maniacs. And right now, sex is the last thing on my mind."
- — Zero about the free life.
Air Raid is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to Carl Johnson by Zero at the Zero RC store in Garcia, San Fierro.
CJ drops by his newly acquired business, Zero RC, and finds Zero distraught, having discovered that his arch rival Berkley has returned to San Andreas. Whilst Zero tells CJ about his past with Berkley, a 'full scale attack' is launched by Berkley, using RC Barons to attack the transmitters on Zero RC's rooftop. CJ and Zero head to the roof and Carl uses a Minigun to destroy the RC Barons, which Zero explains will allow him to launch a counter attack.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Use the minigun to eliminate the enemy threat
The reward for completing the mission is $3,000. Completing the mission unlocks the Supply Lines... mission for Zero.
- The quote "Great kid, don't get cocky!" Zero makes during the Air Raid was originally used in Star Wars Episode 4 by Han Solo.
- The last comment made by Zero ([...] Never have so few owed so many... too little, three... no that's not it, what is it? We will fight him on the beaches, well, rooftops...) is a spoof of two of the most famous quotes of Winston Churchill:
- We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old.
- Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
- Completing "Air Raid" and the other Zero missions is not mandatory for continuing the storyline, though it is mandatory for those seeking 100% completion (and who want to obtain Zero's store as an asset).
- It is possible to shoot Zero's head off with the Minigun during this mission.
- This is one of two missions in the game the player uses a mounted Minigun, the other being Up Up and Away.
Easy Completion
To complete this mission in no time, you can use a cheat to destroy the little planes: The blow up all cars cheat. You will have to enter it a lot of times though, because the planes will keep appearing on the minimap. This can complete the mission but for those who want to complete the game with no cheats, this is not recommended.

Isaac Roth (Hebrew: יצחק רוט) is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned, and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Roth was born in Broker, Liberty City, in 1976. At some point in his life he joined the Jewish Mob together with friend and partner Mori Green, and became one of its most central members. His main job was diamonds dealing.
Roth had deals with Claude Wome for diamonds imported from Africa, one time leading to being arrested.
Events of GTA IV
The Diamonds deal
Roth also had connections with Pegorino Family Capo Ray Boccino. He entered a deal with Ray, which took place in the The Libertonian. Isaac, Mori and two others stood face-to-face with the two men dealing for Ray, Johnny Klebitz and Niko Bellic. While Mori was looking at the diamonds, Luis Fernando Lopez shot Mori down while having his gun through a window. Isaac ran to Mori's side and tried to help him but when he realized he was dead, he snatched the diamonds and ran while Johnny took the money. Soon Isaac was caught and knocked out by Luis, who then stole the diamonds and took them to Gay Tony.
Isaac thought the ambush was set up by Ray and threatened to have him killed. In retaliation, Ray sent Niko to kill Isaac at his base in the Majestic Hotel.

Trying to evangelize the concept of why a company should communicate through the blog medium with anecdotes is a fool's game. Companies either get it or they don't with a description like a college kid getting a business lesson out of a text book.
I have understood the merits for several years now working as a blogger, ghost writer, web designer and more. I'm not only in the choir, but I'm a part time choir director. If you are like me, I'm not trying to preach to you.
However, if you are looking for an example of why blogging can be fruitful for business and you DO NOT understand the need to get closer with your existing and potential customers, then consider this.
Your company website is essentially a foot print on the web. Make a small website and you have a small presence. Grow that website and make it bigger and bigger and you have a larger presence on the web.
Each blog article you write increases the size and more importantly the reach of your website, like a fisherman using a larger and larger net.
Last night I wrote a single blog article and created a YouTube tutorial video to accompany the article making it stickier and more useful for the people that might actually come see the article.
Optimize Artisteer WordPress Theme's H1/H2 Title Tags for SEO
A video & written tutorial to optimize a Artisteer WordPress theme h1 & h2 title tags to improve SEO (Search Engine Optimization) results and SERPs (Search Engine Ranking Placements)
Within 6 hours this new article had garnished me a position in Search Engine Results Pages within the top 10 of 6 different keywords that I felt were important for business. I was indexed in at least 10 somewhere on Google covering other keywords that were not as important, but might not hurt either.
Not only is my website larger, stickier to hold a visitor, but my presence on Google is also expanded and positioning me for even better things! All from a single article and a video.
Is there money in writing a single blog article for your Own Business?
Yes! I've already made a sale as a result of this article and its only 6 hours old. It will now go on to live on the internet for months if not years, where it can help people learn a useful skill (video tutorial) and find the right tools (products I offer) and possibly choose to hire my firms services (after learning a thing or two about us and developing a relationship).
What do I do with that Article now that it is built?
I'm not done with it yet. I still have further work to do to market the article, push it out even further on the internet, work to attract back links to the article and my site. Optimize that blog article to perform even better, searching out other related and important keywords that I didn't originally consider and track my way up the rankings on the keywords I already have.

- "Pass, friend to Hufflepuff!"
- —Giffard Abbot[src]
Giffard Abbot[1] was a wizard. There are portraits of him hanging in Hogwarts Castle. He had a pet dog. He seemed to have access to a source of food, because Damara Dodderidge frequently asked him if he had any to give her.[2]
Early life
Giffard may have attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was probably Sorted into Hufflepuff.
1992-1993 school year
In early 1993, Giffard had a portrait at the Grand Staircase, hung immediately below the first-floor landing. As it was placed in an inaccessible place, it is unlikely he guarded any shortcut to another part of the school.[3]
1995-1996 school year
One of his portraits was hanging at the Grand Staircase, guarding the shortcut to the Transfiguration Courtyard, under the password "Dragon's Egg".[2] There was another set of portraits of him, hiding another hidden passageway between the Clock Tower and the corridor outside the Library; the password needed to gain acess to this shortcut was "Tempus neminem manet"[4].
1996-1997 school year
Giffard's portrait was moved to another landing of the Grand Staircase, during the next school year. However, he still guarded a secret passage to the same place in the Transfiguration Courtyard. Its password became "Light Against Darkness". He had a penchant for sighing wistfully, "Oh, to be young again!", when approached[5].
Behind the scenes
- Giffard may have died sometime prior to early 1993, as many portraits hung at Hogwarts depict deceased individuals. His clothes indicate that he most likely lived during the Middle Ages.
- It is possible that Abbot's portrait is a reference to a portrait of Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire by Titian.
- "Giffard" is from an English surname, which was derived from the Germanic given name "Gebhard".[6]
- "Abbott" is a Middle English surname.[7]
