A quick take on techAdvantageVoice® Blog—
John Manley, CFA, Chief Equity Strategist
One of the prominent casualties of the European Union's weak economy has been the U.S. information technology sector. The sector has lagged the S&P 500's price recovery from the May lows. It now trades at a price-to-earnings ratio equal to the S&P 500, despite having what I believe to be superior growth prospects. In a sense, this is not an unnatural occurrence. Most American technology companies have substantial European operations, and demand for their products and services is somewhat linked to the level of economic activity there. They should feel the sting of European austerity, at least for a while.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
I believe that this relative price weakness has created a buying opportunity for investors willing to look out several quarters and participate in a corporate technology upgrade cycle, which is well under way but far from played out. Corporations have already benefited from recent upgrades, but I believe that greater profitability can be achieved with the purchase of more hardware, software, and services. The great promise of the Tech Boom of the late 1990s is being fulfilled: The use of technology is making us all more productive and shortening the corporate feedback loop. However, as mentioned above, this is now occurring with the sellers of this technology trading at a valuation no higher than the market.
It is ironic that technological capacity follows a fairly predictable path. The speed of data processing rises and the costs of data storage fall at rates that vary little over a given period of time. The cyclicality of the business arises from the cyclicality of demand for technology, not supply. When new technology can enhance corporate profitability, the demand rises. When newer, better technology does not help the bottom line, demand stagnates.
During the Great Recession of 2007–2009, corporate technology upgrades took a back seat to cost cutting and retrenchment. Effectively, almost an entire tech upgrade cycle was skipped. Since then, corporate managers have been trying to catch up. I believe that the currently high level of corporate profitability is due to the fact that current and future employees have been made more productive by improved technology and that corporations can manage their businesses more tightly as technology tells managers of their successes or failures and allows them to adapt strategies accordingly.
To me, this virtuous cycle is not over. Bouts of sporadic economic contractions may delay upgrades, but I do not think they end them. Thus, with the sector having lagged for two quarters and returned to a non-premium valuation, I believe that it is a good time to accumulate the shares of large capitalization companies selling technology to other companies. I think that the good news is not over.

I went in here as I was passing and wanted to treat my girlfriend. All I had on me though was a tenner and I asked for what ever they could give me. I have to say they gave me the nicest bunch of flowers I've ever bought and have returned since several times. Brilliant 10 out of 10!!!

Size & Fit Details
Abingdon sporting duffel bag
Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by BBTX Broke The strap ripped away from the bag after less than a year, with minimal usage (maybe 8-10 times, max). The canvas was very nice, as were the zippers and compartments, but the construction was poor. December 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JB11 Duffel The Abingdon Sporting Duffel is a good looking bag with a few design or quality flaws. The shoulder strap isn't adjustable enough for myself being 5'10". Also the zippers are difficult to open and close. I'm not sure if I would have purchased this duffel had I inspected it at a store. December 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PizzaTexas Great bag Love the color and look of this bag. Has two outside pockets and a pocket on the inside which makes for great organized travel. The canvas is super durable. December 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shopper Great weekend/sport duffel. Durable & stylish. Initially received the wrong product. The local store was very helpful and efficient, took back the incorrect item and made sure I received the correct duffel, refunded special shipping charges paid. Actual duffel is exactly what I was looking for, a 'guy's' weekend bag, not shiny/plastic or too fancy! The perfect gift for a guy that is a little gift wary. October 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike Getaway Duffel Great bag. Great Quality. I want the whole set now. July 22, 2014

We're big admirers of How to Train Your Dragon, but we never really had a reason to draw any of the characters until now. Our little nephew is a big fan, so I drew her Toothless for Christmas/Snoggletog.
I know the crayon color didn't exactly come out jet black like Toothless is really, but that's hard to do with crayons...

just roll with it.... everything appears to be multicolored today... its true madness and I can't explain why or what the reason is. It is odd because I had a ton of shots of the raindrops and flowers and then everything started to go towards a rainbow theme... Hope you like colors and are not getting sick of this.
I love the colors! I think it's very cute and whimsical! Free flowing and fun!
first it was the Tupperware lids and making them go in reverse color order of the stacking cups but then I thought hey make the cups in an acutal rainbow shape. Then I was playing with the smily face smiling and rainbow kind of in a frown... I don't know it is like basic colors as building blocks and fundamentals and the bright vibrant lids. It is some weird obsession with color today. I can't explain, it is an odd abstract thing my mind is doing. I am just rolling with this. I don't know the motive or reason for it.
I think it's fine that you are doing this. You sound like you are having fun and that's what's really important! Not everything in life needs to be serious! Fun and vibrant colors are great!

Hi all! Now that the weather is starting to cool off I want to get outdoors with my baby more. I am looking for some ideas for fall activites, also if anyone knows of a great pumpkin patch in the area that I could take my baby to take pictures and buy a pumpkin for Halloween please leave your suggestions in this thread. Thanks!

The Dallas Arboretum is a MUST for fall! They have a very large pumpkin patch and a lot of the walkways are lined with pumpkins and a lot of different photo ops with all shapes and sizes. Check the website. They have Mommy & Me on Mondays and Tuesday Tots. I'm not sure when the "fall" session starts so I would double check. I wanna say it starts the last weekend of this month. Hope that helps!

Arboretum like pp mentioned and Owens Farm or Owens Family farm has a good pumpkin patch.

I'm still fairly new and haven't been myself, but I hear the state fair is fun for a lot of people: http://www.bigtex.com/sft/. We were in Chicago for the entire fall season last year, so I'm excited to see what I missed.

Germany pushed on with frantic efforts to secure saturated river dykes with sandbags Thursday, bracing for a surge of the worst floods in over a decade that have claimed 12 lives and forced mass evacuations across central Europe.
Vast stretches along the Elbe river basin have turned into a sea of brown water in the Czech Republic and downstream in eastern Germany, with only red-tiled roofs sticking out of the muddy water in many abandoned villages and towns.
The picture of devastation was similar along the mighty Danube, which has jumped its banks in Germany's southern Bavaria state and Austria and sparked large-scale disaster preparations in Hungary, where the water was expected to peak in coming days.
In northeast Germany, thousands of volunteers, many organised through social media, firefighters, aid workers and troops have filled millions of sandbags to hold back the torrent which has risen from two to above eight metres (six to above 26 feet).
Thousands worked through the night or kept a nervous watch on flood barriers while recalling dark memories of the 2002 floods that killed scores across central Europe and caused a clean-up bill running to billions of euros (dollars).
Fears were centred on Bitterfeld in Saxony-Anhalt state where two lakes, one higher than the other, loom dangerously close to a city that during the communist East Germany era became notorious as a heavily polluted industrial centre.
Local officials have warned that a breach in the lake defences could spark a "mini-tsunami" that could engulf the city, and officials have twice attempted to blow holes in the lake dyke away from the city, with limited success.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has promised 100 million euros ($130 million) in immediate flood relief across Germany, and Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble promised on Thursday that more money would follow.
Dresden, with more than two million people, said the peak of 8.75 metres was reached on Thursday, with flood waters lapping through the mud-caked living rooms and trashed gardens of thousands of outlying homes.
However, the old inner city -- dubbed the "Jewel Box" for its baroque and rococo churches, opera and buildings -- was secured by flood barriers installed after the even higher 2002 flood.
People also breathed a cautious sigh of relief as water levels eased in Halle, where Elbe tributary the Saale had reached its highest level in 400 years the day before and authorities have urged 30,000 people to flee.
Upstream in the Czech Republic -- where five days of flooding killed at least eight people and forced some 20,000 evacuations -- rescue workers in rubber dinghies were supplying isolated families who lack drinking water, power or gas.
In the industrial centre of Usti nad Labem near the German border, where 11,000 people were told to evacuate, looters targeted empty homes and businesses, and a waiter at a pub-restaurant told how he came face to face with three robbers at night.
"I entered the corridor and got a blow. They broke my nose, my side is sore and there's something wrong with my ribs," Ladislav Kratochvil told the DNES daily.
The capital Prague held up well thanks to 17 kilometres of temporary aluminium barriers, and city trains were running again, but people in Usti bemoaned their poorer flood defences.
"It's a shame. If they were a metre higher, it would have been enough," a police officer told the DNES. "It went fast, the water rose really quickly."
In Austria, where two people have died in the floods, the Danube town of Korneuburg just north of Vienna reported an all-time record river level of 8.06 metres.
In nearby Nussdorf a river cruise ship with some 120 tourists onboard was stranded in the middle of the river Thursday, an AFP photographer witnessed.
Down the Danube in Hungary, preparations moved into high gear to prepare Budapest for the wall of water coming along one of Europe's longest waterways which empties into the Black Sea in a delta in Romania and Ukraine.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned large-scale evacuations were likely because of "a real threat to human life" but has pledged that "with good cooperation, we can protect everyone".
An "anti-catastrophe team" with 10,000 volunteers and close to 12,000 police and troops was on stand-by, while some 300 people had been evacuated so far.

Great insights -- and super excited to see the topic getting broad traction. IT's been under assault for some time as a pure expense, more defensive than offensive for most business - and a "necessary evil". The tools and thought leadership from the TBM movement and the TBM council will help IT demonstrate and articulate the huge asset that it is -- and where to improve where it isn't productive. Thanks Tom for stepping up!
I am fascinated by the idea of TBM Index. It can be the diagnostic and benchmarking tool that IT leaders have been praying for. Having worked on both IT and business sides, I see it as a tool to facilitate the dialogue between IT and business leaders. Would love to see it getting embraced across all industries..

it's definitely too short a frame. Nice catch. I ride my wife's v-rex sometimes and the seat gets in that exact position. I've nearly lost it climbing 10% or plus hills.
it's definitely too short a frame. Nice catch. I ride my wife's v-rex sometimes and the seat gets in that exact position. I've nearly lost it climbing 10% or plus hills.
Thanks for posting the photos of your V-Rex. Mine is the same year, and you've motivated me to give mine a careful inspection.
Most of the failures on your bike are seat related: accelerated mesh wear, flute-tube, rad-loc clamp, and finally the "seat-stays" welds. We know you're a big guy from the extreme rearward seat position, but how much do you weigh?
Failure of the flute tube(s?)(RANS defective design) with the seat all the way back, would have concentrated all of your weight on the seat clamp, directly over that weld. This is arguably ALL related to the flute tube failure. If RANS wants to maintain a decent reputation, they should replace your frame: their cost can't be that much, and reputation is HUGE.
Please let us know how they treat you.
One more note: my Screamer Captain's seat had a single telescoping aluminum brace tube with a clamp for a quick release skewer welded to the bottom of it. The welded aluminum cracked, which RANS should have replaced. Instead, I chose to cut an inch off the brace (and its mate), which lets me recline the seat back to about the same angle I ride the V-Rex at. I had to spend $30 for a Salsa seat clamp, but my recumbutt vanished.
After reading your post, I regret not complaining loudly to RANS about their poor aluminum welding technique.
Im curious if Rans replaced the OPs frame??? As im looking to upgrade from my used Vision and purchase a New higher end bike....and wanting to buy from a company with a good warranty and customer service.
Why would they replace such an old, obviously abused frame? I wouldn't. However, RANS is one of the oldest in the bent business for a reason. They give great service. I have a 12 year old rans v-rex that is still going strong with all original parts except for the idler. Still has the original wheels.
Update: Got my bike back with a new frame. The new one is yellow. I hope it holds up better than this one.
Tackdriver56: My weight is 200lbs.
I hope the new frame works out better for you. I am about 200 lbs, and I can't imagine my V-Rex failing that way. Shouldn't have happened, short of a rear-ender by a car.
Yellow is a better color anyway!
What no pics?
A new frame!! Thats awsome, go RANS! I hope I never have similar issues with my bacchetta. If the unfortuante were to happen, they better have my back
Yellow/silver, I bet.
RANS V3 - Ti, RANS V-Rex - cromo, RANS Screamer - cromo
Yeah, the new frame colors are pretty sharp:
They finally took my suggestion to do yellow! Or, maybe they ignored me and did yellow anyway. No matter, I like the new paint.
Well here's an update. New frame is still intact, but I broke another seat bracket. This marks the third seat bracket that has broke on me through RANS. Because I figured it would be pointless to replace something that kept breaking, I opted instead to get one manufactured out of aluminum. I took some pictures of my new seat bracket with my camera phone and apologize for any blurriness.
Hmm. The frame cracked *downward*? Just how the heck did that happen under normal riding conditions?
Looks like totoboy is trying to pull a fast one.
After seeing the pic of the now-1.5-year-old-frame, I'm pretty sure totoroben is just plain hard on his bikes, and he'd be having problems with whatever he rode. A V-Rex is a pretty sturdy bike, and yet he's destroyed one and is well on the way to destroying a second one. All those scuffs may not in themselves qualify as "abuse" but they're pretty indicative of the level of care the bike is receiving.
On another note, it looks like he's still got a too-small frame, and is reclining the seat so far that the seat frame is levered against the back of the main tube - possibly the cause of the first failure. Look at how the paint is gouged off the back of the main tube.
Thats from the seat bracket ripping out and sliding to the back. Again, not my problem. Perhaps if RANS made a decent seat bracket that wouldn't happen.
I'm almost afraid to ride my V-Rex to work in the morning.
The RadLoc broke?
RANS V3 - Ti, RANS V-Rex - cromo, RANS Screamer - cromo
JanMM, Bikes are made to be ridden. I still ride this bicycle to work in the non-salty months. The seat bracket should be able to take the backward pedaling pressure of a human being, but apparently I'm superhuman. I've experienced breakage in both the radlock and the V clamp.

I rode mine to work today - no problem.
I wondering what about your riding style is so different than other V-rex riders that both styles of seat clamps break.
The solid aluminum clamp looks robust.
RANS V3 - Ti, RANS V-Rex - cromo, RANS Screamer - cromo
I've ridden mine on all sorts of roads, with all sorts of front fairings, tail boxes, and even full fairings. It started life as a 21-speed, was upgraded to 63-speed, and now it's 27-speed. Over the years, I've commuted with it, and used it for club rides and tours. The only problems it's ever given me were wear-related: seat fabric and bearings in the idlers.
My 97 V-rex is still ticking, with all original equipment except tires, idler, brake pads, chain and cassette, and seat mesh - all parts that wear out on bikes that haven't been abused. The wheels have never even needed truing.

In addition to their "Sing Sing" nights becoming the latest the flavor of the month for Capitol Hill dance parties, Chop Suey is now dabbling
In addition to their "Sing Sing" nights becoming the latest the flavor of the month for Capitol Hill dance parties, Chop Suey is now dabbling in cult cinema, thanks to the delightful cinephiles at Scarecrow Video.Tonight the club is hosting "A Night at the Grindhouse," with a double-feature screening of kung fu exploitation classics The Master of the Flying Guillotine and The Story of Riki-Oh. The best part, other than oodles of empty violence, is the free admission. To me, the highlight of the two is Guillotine, which gives a whole new meaning the term "action-packed." The film is from 1975 and is directed by Yu Wang, the kung fu auteur responsible for the ultra-cool One-Armed Swordsman films. Though the plot to Guillotine is insignificant, I'll tell you anyway: A blind, long-bearded, government-sponsored assassin who decapitates victims with a birdcage-shaped contraption on a chain, seeks revenge on a one-armed boxing master who killed two of his pupils. The assassin makes his way to a fight-to-the-death kung fu tournament and starts killing off all the one-armed men (and then some) he finds. Production value here is zero, entertainment level is immeasurable. Though I haven't seen Riki-Oh, the IMDb description tells me I'll be there tonight:
"Hard man Ricky is incarcerated in a futuristic prison where ultra-violence is his only means of survival in the corrupt, sadistic system. He must battle his way quite literally 'through' the feared 'gang of four', and undergo multiple tortures before facing the governor in one of the goriest climaxes ever seen."
If that doesn't make your night, the $1 PBR's will.

Unfortunately I won't be there this year to help on the course. Let's hope some of the guys attending will man up and help out. Wish I could. I returned a lot of discs from the lake on 10 and I know the course has had less than sufficient maintenance this year. Have fun!

lower left side- very sharp back (and upper bottom) pain- 21 weeks, is this normal?
Comments (8)
You probably need to share a little more about the pain. Is it constant? When your sitting, standing, laying? Do certain things make it worse? Does it ever go away?
I've been having some left side abdominal pain a few days this week. It comes and goes and I think that we narrowed the diagnosis down to it being some sort of gas pain (which I have never experienced prepregnancy). There have been some posts recently about other May mommies experiencing the same type of thing and how they have gone about getting some relief.
Maybe this is what your experiencing too? Either way, I hope you get an answer and feel better soon!
If the pain is in your butt it could very possibly be sciatica. I have been suffering from it for 6 weeks now. I have extremely sharp pain that goes through my butt, and down through my left leg. It doesn't matter what I am doing, walking, lying down, standing, sitting, it is there. Not always the sharp pain, sometimes it dulls down. Not exactly what I call comfortable.
Try looking it up... if that is what the pain is, there is not a whole lot that you can do to make it stop before the baby is born. Only things that you can do to make it more bearable. Good luck! Hope it gets better soon!
Hi...this is exactly what I have been feeling for the past 2 weeks...I will be 21 weeks next week. I was teaching Pilates up until 2 weeks ago and thought I did it then while modifying,but did nothing out of the ordinary. It hurts always(sleeping, walking, sitting)....I cannot put weight on my left leg???? eeksss...my doctor just told me it could be sciatica but I have had that before and it does not feel the same. When I do exercise/stretching it feels worse the next day. Looking to go to a massage therapist that also does Physical Therapy on Monday so if I have any answers I will let you know.
Take care
thanks so much for responding everyone. Jenniferaim described exactly how i am feeling.
Like previous posters have said, it sounds like the sciatica nerve is causing problems. Mine has been acting up for years, on and off, but more consistantly since getting pregnant. I was just complaining to DH when I was walking into the living room out of the kitchen that it was hurting. Every step on my right leg would send the pain right to my sciatica nerve, above the right side of my tailbone. Ouch!

So..I went to the PT/Massage Therapist and she believes I have piriformis syndrome...which is basically the tightening of your glutes/seat...and it is prob. pressing on my scaitic nerve....Could be from my weight shifting..Below is a webpage that shows some exercises as well as other remedies....
Amanda28......Because we are dancers..she said the repetitive movements are not helping...I have been rolling and using a tennis ball on the area but I guess the best solution would be to take a break
Feel better :)
If it is sciatica you might be able to see a chiropractor for some lower back adjustments. I started seeing my chiropractor early and so far no sciatica pain. With DS I had it from about 5 months on and it was terrible!

Five Denver debate coaches responded to the first presidential debate as if they were judging competing teams at a forensics tournament.
Maryrose Kohan, debate coach, George Washington High:
I thought it was all about talking points. There were a lot of missed opportunities to point out each other's contradictions. Both of them stuck to "Let me talk about this because I want to."
This debate really lacked structure; they were allowed to free-form. Romney was told to ask Obama questions, but he just started talking, and nobody, not even Jim Lehrer, said, "Where are your questions?"
Lyn Davies, debate coach, Denver School of the Arts:
DU Presidential Debate
- Complete DU Presidential debate coverage.
- View images from Wednesday's presidential debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama in Denver.
- View images from Wednesday ahead of the presidential debate.
- View images from Spin Alley.
- View an archive of election 2012 images.
- Watch: What is "Spin Alley".
- Watch video from the debate.
- Follow: Running transcript as Obama, Romney square off.
Neither debater ever specifically cited the studies to which they were referring. As a judge, it was hard to tell what the exact policies are on either side. Neither was giving hard numbers. We train our policy debaters to go after the specifics and feasibility of a plan. Neither debater really did this.
Terry Rubin, debate coach, Kent Denver School:
I would say that this round goes to Romney. He started on fire, having points and counterpoints to Obama's talking points. The second half was more in Obama's favor.
Romney wanting to fire Big Bird stole the show. Can you really win a debate saying you will fire Big Bird? That was a bold move. Amazing Obama did not jump on that more!
Matthew Murphy, debate coach, East High School:
Romney hit Obama on Obamacare with confidence, harkening his failures to bring the country and Congress together with a bipartisan approach. This was the best that Romney was in the debate.
Romney and Obama talked a lot about numbers — lots of statistics and dollar numbers but not a lot of clarity.
Will Van Treuren, debate coach, University of Colorado and East High:
This debate was an impressive showing for both candidates. I was expecting a much more mechanical performance from Romney and a much more professorial performance from Obama.
Both were engaging and assertive (to different degrees). I think Romney had a much more aggressive and effective style than Obama, but Obama's closing statement probably resonated with a lot more voters because it was humble and optimistic.

My SO gave Ex-H his N64 for his birthday earlier this year (November) It was a gift that Ex specifically stated he wanted. Now he is giving the N64 back to SO as a Christmas present because he says he doesn't use it and doesn't have the money to buy us something new. It's fine that he is giving it back, we understand having money issues since we have them too, and I would much rather see it given back than in the trash.
Here's my real question, SO found a site online that is buying N64s for about $100-$110. Would it be bad if we sold the N64 after he gives it to us, or should we tell him to sell it himself so he can have the money?

Fabulous stay at Antica Olivaia - Orvieto
We just returned from a great vacation in Italy that included a stay at Antica Olivaia in Orvieto, and wished we had been able to stay longer with Daniela and Marco! What a wonderful B&B they have created in this beautiful area. They're warmth, generosity and passion for making each guest feel as if old friend that just walked through the door, is awesome! The food was amazing and we had a fun time just talking, laughing and spending time in the kitchen! I highly recommend their home if you're visiting the area. Marco and Dani will offer suggestions for dining, touring and showing their love of the country with you. Take advantage of their knowledge and you won't be disappointed. We can't wait for another trip and will definitely return to our home away from home!

The Common Ills
Iraq snapshot
Iraq snapshot Monday, May 2, 2016. Chaos and violence continue, the shock from the breach of the Green Zone continues, US policy towards Iraq needs to be seriously examined, and much more. William Rivers Pitt (TRUTHOUT) observes: Here we are just about two years later, and US soldiers wearing boots are on the ground in Iraq and Syria. The Green Zone in Baghdad has been stormed. The latest US deployments are small, but floods always start with a drip. About 217 US soldiers have been sent to Iraq to augment the more than 4,000 troops already there, along with an additional 250 sent to the urban death zone that is Syria. They're going to a place where hospitals are deliberately destroyed; a medical facility in Aleppo was recently obliterated in an airstrike, killing 14 people. The US blamed the Syrian government, the Syrians and Russians blamed the US, and the dead lie still. "We see a continual escalation with the now 250 additional... (more)

Surgery for melanoma skin cancer
Immunotherapy for melanoma skin cancer
Immunotherapy is the use of medicines to stimulate a patient's own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells more effectively. Several types of immunotherapy can be used to treat patients with melanoma.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced melanoma
An important part of the immune system is its ability to keep itself from attacking normal cells in the body. To do this, it uses "checkpoints", which are molecules on immune cells that need to be turned on (or off) to start an immune response. Melanoma cells sometimes use these checkpoints to avoid being attacked by the immune system. But newer drugs that target these checkpoints hold a lot of promise as melanoma treatments.
PD-1 inhibitors
Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and nivolumab (Opdivo) are drugs that target PD-1, a protein on immune system cells called T cells that normally help keep these cells from attacking other cells in the body. By blocking PD-1, these drugs boost the immune response against melanoma cells, which can often shrink tumors and help people live longer (although it's not yet clear if these drugs can cure melanoma).
These drugs are given as an intravenous (IV) infusion every 2 or 3 weeks.
Side effects of these drugs can include fatigue, cough, nausea, itching, skin rash, decreased appetite, constipation, joint pain, and diarrhea.
Other, more serious side effects occur less often. These drugs work by basically removing the brakes from the body's immune system. Sometimes the immune system starts attacking other parts of the body, which can cause serious or even life-threatening problems in the lungs, intestines, liver, hormone-making glands, kidneys, or other organs.
It's very important to report any new side effects to your health care team promptly. If serious side effects do occur, treatment may need to be stopped and you may get high doses of corticosteroids to suppress your immune system.
CTLA-4 inhibitor
Ipilimumab (Yervoy) is another drug that boosts the immune response, but it has a different target. It blocks CTLA-4, another protein on T cells that normally helps keep them in check.
This drug is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion, usually once every 3 weeks for 4 treatments. In patients with melanomas that can't be removed by surgery or that have spread to other parts of the body, this drug has been shown to help people live an average of several months longer, although it's not clear if it can cure the melanoma.
The most common side effects from this drug include fatigue, diarrhea, skin rash, and itching.
Serious side effects seem to happen more often with this drug than with the PD-1 inhibitors. Like the PD-1 inhibitors, this drug can cause the immune system to attack other parts of the body, which can lead to serious problems in the intestines, liver, hormone-making glands, nerves, skin, eyes, or other organs. In some people these side effects have been fatal.
It's very important to report any new side effects during or after treatment to your health care team promptly. If serious side effects do occur, you may need to stop treatment and take high doses of corticosteroids to suppress your immune system.
Cytokines for advanced melanoma
Cytokines are proteins in the body that boost the immune system in a general way. Man-made versions of cytokines, such as interferon-alfa and interleukin-2 (IL-2), are sometimes used in patients with melanoma. They are given as intravenous (IV) infusions, at least at first. Some patients or caregivers may be able to learn how to give injections under the skin at home. Both drugs can help shrink advanced (stage III and IV) melanomas in about 10% to 20% of patients when used alone. These drugs may also be given along with chemotherapy drugs (known as biochemotherapy) for stage IV melanoma.
Side effects of cytokine therapy can include flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, aches, severe tiredness, drowsiness, and low blood cell counts. Interleukin-2, particularly in high doses, can cause fluid to build up in the body so that the person swells up and can feel quite sick. Because of this and other possible serious side effects, high-dose IL-2 is given only in the hospital, in centers that have experience with this type of treatment.
Interferon-alfa as adjuvant therapy
Patients with thicker melanomas often have cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body. Even if all of the cancer seems to have been removed by surgery, some of these cells may remain in the body. Interferon-alfa can be used as an added (adjuvant) therapy after surgery to try to prevent these cells from spreading and growing. This may delay the recurrence of melanoma, but it is not yet clear if it improves survival.
High doses must be used for the interferon to be effective, but many patients can't tolerate the side effects of high-dose therapy. These can include fever, chills, aches, depression, severe tiredness, and effects on the heart and liver. Patients getting this drug need to be closely watched by a doctor who is experienced with this treatment.
When deciding whether to use adjuvant interferon therapy, patients and their doctors should take into account the potential benefits and side effects of this treatment.
Oncolytic virus therapy
Viruses are a type of germ that can infect and kill cells. Some viruses can be altered in the lab so that they infect and kill mainly cancer cells. These are known as oncolytic viruses. Along with killing the cells directly, the viruses can also alert the immune system to attack the cancer cells.
Talimogene laherparepvec (Imlygic) is an oncolytic virus that can be used to treat melanomas in the skin or lymph nodes that can't be removed with surgery. The virus is injected directly into the tumors, typically every 2 weeks. This treatment can sometimes shrink these tumors, but it has not been shown to shrink tumors in other parts of the body. It's also not clear if this treatment can help people live longer. Side effects can include flu-like symptoms and pain at the injection site.
Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine
BCG is a germ related to the one that causes tuberculosis. BCG does not cause serious disease in humans, but it does activate the immune system. The BCG vaccine works like a cytokine by enhancing the entire immune system. It is not directed specifically at melanoma cells. It is sometimes used to help treat stage III melanomas by injecting it directly into tumors.
Imiquimod cream
Imiquimod (Zyclara) is a drug that is applied as a cream. It stimulates a local immune response against skin cancer cells. For very early (stage 0) melanomas in sensitive areas on the face, some doctors may use imiquimod if surgery might be disfiguring. It can also be used for some melanomas that have spread along the skin. Still, not all doctors agree it should be used for melanoma.
The cream is applied anywhere from once a day to 2 times a week for around 3 months. Some people have serious skin reactions to this drug. Imiquimod is not used for more advanced melanomas.
Newer treatments
Some other types of immunotherapy have shown promise in treating melanoma in early studies. At this time they are available only through clinical trials (see "What's new in research and treatment of melanoma skin cancer?").
To learn more about this type of treatment, see our document Cancer Immunotherapy.

Starlight Mints Starlight Mints, JP Inc, Silverteeth at the Crocodile, 8 p.m., $12 adv
Every once in a great while, a band comes along captures
Starlight MintsStarlight Mints, JP Inc, Silverteeth at the Crocodile, 8 p.m., $12 adv
Every once in a great while, a band comes along captures the essence of its time in an indescribable yet undeniable way. Oklahoma's Starlight Mints, who are just about to put out the aptly-titled new album Change Remains (their fourth) on Barsuk, somehow manage to encapsulate post-millennial rock but do it in a way that won't sound dated twenty years from now. On paper, Starlight Mints' bubbling blend of indie-rock and champer pop, with its flourishes of lounge, disco synths, horns, high-pitched vocals, and Beatles-esque studio savvy, seems like a literal soup du jour concocted for modern listening tastes. But the Mints display such a thoroughly original -- and fun -- approach to their work that they tap-dance right past the minefield of cliches that would otherwise pin them to the present like a glue trap. Long after today's trend-chasers have changed clothes to go after the next thing, Starlight Mints will still be relevant.
Feral Children, See Me River, Brawley Banks at Neumos, 8 p.m., $7
Whoever made the call to pair Feral Children with See Me River is a quality human being with awfully good ears. As far as primal and spiritually satisfying local bills go, it doesn't get much better than this. Feral Children may be from Maple Valley, but they sound like they operate from some gloriously macabre, punk rock underworld where both Patti Smith and Vivaldi would feel comfortable. See Me River is the dark, folk-informed brainchild of Aviation Records owner/Cha Cha music booker Kerry Zettel, who is arguably one the most talented songwriters this city has at the moment. As if that wasn't enough, this is also the second-ever show for Brawley Banks, a new project featuring Justin Schwartz and Jorum Young from Cobra High original Sunnyday Real Estate/Foo Fighters drummer William Goldsmith that already has a huge, huge buzz surrounding it.

would had been a lot better had the producers gone in this direction when they redesigned him for the american film but whatever its not like it would hav saved the movie.
Great colours for a Godzilla! Looks like a real dinosaur. I hope he looks like this in the new american movie
Wow, fantastic design! I'd prefer a more traditional charcoal gray color scheme, but besides that it's great! ^_^
Wow, This is really nice. The sculpt, the paint, all of it.

For any prospective student, my biggest advice would be to do your research! Look into the 6 college system and rank them carefully, based on your major and academic patterns. Do not rank them based on what sounds the coolest because you may choose one that is less suited to your path than another. Research the housing options for the various colleges and apply for any themed housing that interests you. Research scholarship opportunities and on-campus clubs before you get to campus. And most of all, VISIT! Go to Triton Day if you have the means! Seeing your campus in real life, walking across it, and imagining yourself there will be the most helpful and inspiring thing you can do to prepare. And if you do know your major, contact your major's undergraduate advisor and ask what you can do to prepare yourself for your field of interest.Read More
It is a large campus so make sure to think about how you're going to get around during your time here. Early on in your time at UCSD get involved in something. Join a team or a club you'll make tons of friends and the experience is really rewarding over the course of four years. Make sure you stay on top of your four year plan. You won't want to be scrambling to try to get the last few courses done before you graduate but if you aren't keeping good track of the courses you need to take it can creep up on you.Read More
As an engineering student, my tips are to get involved with some clubs and look for a class that is called global ties, it's an awesome way to do hands on work (experience, yay!) and get academic credit for it. Stay on track with the four year plan or keep your advisor updated on your changes if you want to graduate in time, as there are lots of classes you need to graduate and it can be tough. If you want to study abroad it definitely is possible and the study abroad advisors are so kind and helpful. In general, my biggest tip would be that if you are having issues with a class or material go in and talk to the professors or teaching assistants. They can be very helpful!Read More

Anyone know where to get it?
Depends on what you are looking for muscle chic...The comps that I`ve seen, most people just use regular tracks from a standard cd. Just burn your track onto another cd so it`s ready to go.
Women who look at men like chests and biceps. Women who touch men like asses. Start squatting.

Rays can't be for realOctober 07,2013
After watching about every game down the stretch this season, I have concluded, not by pure chance, I assure you, that the Tampa Bay Rays can't be for real.
With the third-lowest team salary and zero fan support at the "Trop," the Rays are forced to field a team that has to overachieve to succeed. This year, it worked for a while as they disposed of the Yankees, Rangers and Cleveland. But these one-game, sudden-death wild card games were not for real either. Any team can win one game. Taking on a team like the Red Sox in a best-of-five-games series is another story. The Rays' ace pitcher, David Price, looked very vulnerable and got beat. Players like Will Myers picked up from the Royals looked terrible and showed his lack of experience in big games. Is it a choke job, or are the Rays just not that good?
Let's face it, they're spoilers, not real contenders. The best they can ever do is wreck some other team's season. Then they peter out and their season is over. That's why they're not for real.

Dwarf gourami quality
Hi guys,
I was reading reciently that the quality of Dwarf gourami's had declined in recent years but my local LFS had a really good stock recently. I ended up getting 1 male and 2 females (i think) and they are VERY healthy. Might be the gene pool is getting deeper? Ill post pics as soon as I can.
1 quirk with them. These are bubble nest fish and I was planning to turn off my bubbler to provide still water for the bubble nest. Didn't work out that way. They love the bubble wall and play in it all the time lol. No babies for me I guess.
Dwarf gouramis are not an easy to spawn fish in a home aquarium, for starters. Just because you provide the right situation for them does not ensure a successful spawn.
What you can do is to add a control valve to the airline attached to the bubble wall, which gives you the ability to control the stream of bubbles coming from it. This can easily be turned down to allow them some bubble action while still leaving a part of the surface of the water somewhat still if they do decide spawning is the thing to do. Also keep in mind that only mature fish will spawn. It is very possible your fish are still too young and just not ready for that yet. Give them time, be patient, and enjoy them.
Once you post photos we can help you determine the sex of the fish.
No biggie either way. I didn't get them to breed just got 'em because they were active and healthy. I actually have 2 males and 1 female. 1 male is blue stripe and the other is a Flame. cannot tell what variety the female is since she has almost no coloration. the males get along fine and are inseparable. no fighting or nipping, female spends most of her time playing with the danios.
When and if I breed them ill set up a breed tank. Craigslist usually has a few 10 gallon tanks for $10 or less.
2 Attachment(s)
Better late than never. I was only able to get pics of my 2 male gouramis. 1 is a flame (who insists on moving everytime I take pics.) and the other is my blue.
1 Attachment(s)
And the Flame graces us with a still shot :)
Awww they are so cute
I love my Gourami :)
Very nice fish you have.
Nice fish! I hope you have better luck with them than I did. I started out with three dwarf blues in April, and the last one just died a few days ago. They have been some of the only fish deaths I've had. My girlfriend has had lots of mollies and guppies go, but in my tanks it's been the gouramis. Too bad, they are cool fish. Good luck with yours.
Herky, if you start a thread of your own maybe we can help you figure out what went wrong with your gouramis? If you had 3 blues then you had 3 males... unless it was in a good size tank with lots of decorations, especially in the top 1/3 of the tank, that alone would bring issues.
I must have gotten lucky too, Jerryed, because I have some extremely healthy male gouramis, one powder blue dwarf and 2 flames dwarfs. They are very active and they are inseparable, especially the flames. I have not seen any fin nipping or territory issues in my 20 gallon with this trio.
As bettababy stated, an air control valve is a good idea. I just put one on my airline and it made it a much more appropriate environment for them!

CM Punk Comments on Using Paul Bearer's Death to Build Match
by Amish Patel - April 03, 2013
– CM Punk discussed using Paul Bearer's death to build his match with The Undertaker during an interview with The Asbury Park Press:
"My job is to get people to be mad at me and I think I do that very well; I think I blur the lines," Punk said. "Everything is designed to push people's buttons – so it's unfortunate that Percy had to die for him to be a part of this story – but trust me, he would have loved it, he really would have loved it."

Edmund WayneEdmund Wayne EPOut now
Edmund Wayne EP
Out now
Before I say anything, let me give full disclosure - the Edmund Wayne EP might just be my new favorite CD. I've listened to the album on repeat now for a few hours and it's reached a point where everyone who enters the room is telling me to put in headphones. I'm a sucker for alternative folk rock, but it has become a cookie cutter genre. I always feel like I know what's next, which is disappointing for a music fan. I want to be surprised. I want to feel something new.
The very first track, "To The Bugs On My Ceiling," practically punched me in the jaw, and for that I am thankful. Vocalist Curst Krause manages to elicit the mood and stylings of Andrew Bird with the magnitude of Radiohead, creating something that honestly feels bigger than itself. There's light, poppy drums and a driving, thumping bass (which unfortunately my laptop speakers couldn't pick up, by my headphones can) mixed with Krause's stellar vocals for an overall overwhelming experience.
The EP features fellow Seattle musicians River Giant on three of the five songs, which brings a nice balance of full instrumentation with a more mellow sound. "Good Returns," which begins with a few cymbals taps and the light strum of a guitar before Krause comes in the distance, erupts against pounding drums and a powerful violin, growing and falling in atmosphere and mood. The entire album sets a mood, though it grows to new heights: it's big and small, round and sharp, and full in every direction with something I didn't hear coming.
But more than anything, I'm left wanting more. Expecting more. And for a CD I've never heard, and a group I have no history with, it's exciting knowing I've found something that won't leave my car stereo for weeks to come. It's truly that good.

Fort Bragg volksmarch celebrates Month of Military Child
April 15, 2011
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Youth sometimes become accustomed to being the center of attention, but in April, that axiom is taken to a higher level. The month is designated by the Department of Defense as the Month of the Military Child.
In recognition of that distinction, more than 600 youth from various child development centers on Fort Bragg and Pope Field participated in this year's volksmarch, April 4. The volksmarch began and ended at Rodriguez CDC on Sicily Drive.
The walk was coordinated by the Family child care providers and had participation from children up to 5 years old, said Renee Nixon, assistant director at Rodriguez CDC.
Adriana Miller, 5, kicked off the volksmarch with a welcome message telling everyone to have a good time.
Jace Jordan, 4, who attends the Fernandez CDC, performed the ribbon cutting.
For Jordan Rowe, 4, the day provided an opportunity for something not entirely uncommon - fun and playing.
But, for caretakers, the volksmarch seemed to mean something far more important.
"These are the kids we take care of everyday," said Shirley Prewitt, a program lead teacher at Rodgers CDC, on Second Street. "We want to support the Soldier by taking care of their children and by doing a great job at it," she said.
Julie Morel traveled from her home in the St. Mere Eglise neighborhood to watch her son, Caden, 5, participate in the volksmarch. Morel said she purposely chooses to enroll Caden in an on-post facility.
"I chose this (Prager CDC) for a pre-k instead of my son going to a regular school," she said. "They're just more one-on-one and the teachers are awesome."
Caden was excited about the volksmarch and anxious to participate, Julie said.
According to the DoD, there are 1.8 million American children and youth under the age of 18 with a parent serving in the military and about 900,000 with one or both parents deployed multiple times. This month marks the 25th anniversary of the Month of the Military Child, when installations worldwide host programs and activities to recognize military childrens' sacrifices, heroism, character, courage and continued resilience.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has long recognized the importance of military children.
"Our military children are awesome, just as their parents are," Gates has said. ". . . We have a sacred responsibility to care for them."
