With the sad news that Darwyn Cooke has died, we look back at the best of his career.
Podcast 55 – Webcomics Revisited
Disease and a lack of free time have delayed our return – if your time is as obviously precious as ours, let us steer you through the murky, yaoi-filled waters of webcomics and onto the safer shores of whatever weird porn it is that you like instead.
Also learn which version of Doctor Who is sexually attracted to! Listen to us talk ourselves out of joining the CIA! More!
A listener responds
Have you ever wanted to listen to the podcast without actually having to, you know, sit through the podcast? We know we have.
For reasons possibly not even best known to himself, regular listener Gareth decided to note down his reactions while listening to the last podcast.
No, we don't know either.
What we do know is that he sent it to us, and there is surprisingly little screaming.
We present below the entirety of "consequential-reaction.txt"
Podcast 54 – Politics
This week we tread into the murky waters of politics, which means we mostly talk about Transmetropolitan, because most other political cartooning out there is exclusively by and for crazy people, and that ain't us.
This episode has a bad word in it. A really bad one. Lucy done it.
As always, ConSequential is brought to you by fried starches, alcohol, and a lingering sense that something, something we can't even remember, has gone terribly wrong. Read On…
Podcast 53: France (and Belgium)
How angry is it possible to be about Tintin, a comic where a boy and his dog solve mysteries and occasionally assert the supremacy of Belgium? Really quite, it turns out. That's right, we're covering the comics of France and Belgium (in rage-spittle).
Plus! Learn who's an alcoholic (it's Captain Haddock, and Roger). Which Franco-Belgian comic character has "bad trousers"? What are good names for the Cornish? We'll tell you. You'd better believe we'll tell you. Read On…
Podcast 52 – Facing Our Shame Again
We're staring down those books we should have read already, tackling them like mighty colossi and devouring our shame. But not only that!
You probably want to know which cross-channel ferry service has the best buffet. We can help.
You probably want to know what Medieval nuns masturbated to. We can help.
You probably want to know just how much anxiety jam shopping can cause. Fuck yeah we can help. Read On…
Podcast Episode 51 – Indie Roundup / Roger's Crapsack Spectacular
Like a glorious phoenix that just properly could not be bothered for a bit over Christmas, we're back! We're covering some indie comics we picked up last year, and a load that were in a slightly wet bag in Roger's house.
Pretty good stuff.
Plus: watch a sad man's life disintegrate before your very ears when he learns that never again will he get to taste the sweet, sweet nectar of a Panda Pop.
Also: learn which member of the team accused a small local police force of being child abusers on local TV news show Look East! Read On…
2015 comics competition pitches
2015 was a pretty good year for comics, but not so good it couldn't be improved. That's why, for our end of year competition, we asked y'all to gild that lily like motherfuckers.
It seemed like a good idea at the time: you'd pitch us comics, we'd talk about our favourites, and we'd send one of you the real, actual comics we liked the most from 2015. We figured it would be easy; we'd get about five submissions, right?
Ha ha. Nope.
Boom. 101 hot steaming pitches.
Podcast Episode 50 – The Best Comics of 2015
Here at the old Consequential.net, we like to think that we cover the very best comics week on week. So it stands to reason that our selections for the best of the year are a rarefied breed indeed, yes? Yes. We're not saying these books will get you laid, but they probably won't get you sent to prison either. Great! Plus, someone wins a prize! Could it be you? Yes!*

Podcast 49: Thought Bubble 2015, The Best Bits
Roger and Dave are back from Thought Bubble, and they brought gifts! For Lucy, not for you. That would be weird. Listen on as we fight for approval in the inaugural Lucy Boyes £5 Challenge.

Modern Walls: Barriers Continue to Divide Around the World
The Berlin Wall, built 50 years ago this month, may be gone, but modern barriers can still be found around the world. Some are designed to keep people in, others are designed to keep people out while some are simply in place to keep people apart. SPIEGEL ONLINE correspondents profile modern-day walls on five continents.
In theory, no wall should be impossible to scale. "Show me a 50-foot wall and I'll show you a 51-foot ladder," US Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano once famously quipped about the massive and highly secured border area between the United States and Mexico.
Such high-tech equipment can also be found on the fortified border between the US and Mexico. In Northern Ireland, meanwhile, the "Last Wall in Europe" divides entire districts, officially to prevent rioting between radical Catholics and Protestants. Other defenses, like the Israeli separation fence in the Holy Land or the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea, are permanent reminders of ongoing conflicts.
Every one of these barriers is a monument to the failure of politics. When conflicting parties can't make peace at the negotiating table, they simply build a wall. When the flow of refugees gets out of control and immigration exceeds the parameters a country is willing to accept, it builds a fence. This type of defense is an attempt to hang on to the status quo, a message that things must remain as they are, no matter what the cost.
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 showed how long such fortification can cement division. It takes a revolution to tear down such defenses.
On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the construction of the Berlin Wall on Aug. 13, 1961, SPIEGEL ONLINE correspondents recount the history of modern walls in Northern Ireland, Israel, Mexico, North Africa and Korea.

A month of rain, wind and more rain
Relevant offers
Last month was the wettest June on record for Central Otago and coastal areas of Canterbury, while storms wreaked havoc across much of the country.
A 202kmh wind gust at Mt Kaukau in Wellington on June 20 was the strongest recorded at the site in any June, Niwa said in its climate summary for the month.
A 143kmh gust at Wellington airport was also a June record, as was a 126kmh gust at Whanganui, a 120kmh gust at Mangere in Auckland, and a 78kmh gust at Wanaka.
Extreme weather during the month included torrential rain in Nelson and Tasman that caused a 200-metre long slip near Kaiteriteri that destroyed a house and resulted in the death of 63-year-old Jude Hivon.
Flooding also closed transport routes in and out of Dunedin and Oamaru, while the worst flooding of Lake Ellesmere in decades put thousands of hectares of farmland under water and forced the evacuation of some homes.
The severe gales which hit Wellington caused loss of electricity to 30,000 homes, and airline, train and ferry services were cancelled. The storm of June 19-21 brought the strongest sustained 10-minute winds at Wellington airport since 1985.
Snow was unofficially at least 60 centimetres deep in Tekapo, Naseby, Clarks Junction and the Hakataramea Valley during a "severe snow event" on June 20 and 21, Niwa said.
Staff at Mt Hutt in Canterbury estimated 2.8 metres of new snow from the storm, with drifts of more than 6m on the access road.
North Otago, south and mid-Canterbury had more than 400 per cent of the normal June rainfall. Parts of South Otago, Central Otago, the Mackenzie Country, North Canterbury and Marlborough had more than 200 per cent of normal.
The 220 millimetres of rain that fell at Riccarton in Christchurch was a record for a June month and 376 per cent of normal. Lincoln had a June record 209mm, 365 per cent of normal, while the record 116mm in Ranfurly was 384 per cent of normal.
In Dunedin the 171mm of rain was 296 per cent of normal and the second-highest June rainfall on record.
Motueka had its second-highest June one-day rainfall total with 141mm recorded on June 16, while Riccarton had its third-highest June one-day total with 69mm.
Sunshine hours were the lowest on record for June at Blenheim, where the 111 hours were 75 per cent of normal. The 62 sunshine hours at Cromwell were the second-lowest for June at 70 per cent of normal.
Last month was characterised by lower pressures than normal across the country and to the north and northeast. High pressure centres persisted to the south and southeast of Tasmania, Niwa said.
The result was an anomalous east-southeasterly flow over the South Island, which contributed to well above-normal rainfall totals throughout areas to the east of the Southern Alps.

It's five months away, but registration is open for the annual Arlington Police, Fire and Sheriff 9/11 Memorial 5K.
Marking the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, this year the race is raising funds for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
Early bird registration, through June 6, is $35. It's $40 after that.
The race will take place on Saturday, Sept. 10 in the Pentagon City area. It is limited to 5,000 runners.
"Since its inception, the Arlington Police, Fire & Sheriff 9/11 Memorial Race has had over 30,000 runners cross its finish line and has raised over $500,000 for 9/11-related charities," notes the race website.
Race organizers are also helping to promote a race this weekend in Alexandria.
The Run for 32 is being held at Cameron Run Regional Park (4001 Eisenhower Avenue) on Saturday, April 16. Held in remembrance of the victims of the 2007 Virginia Tech school shooting, the race helps to raise money for the Koshka Foundation, which was founded by one of the shooting's most critically injured survivors.

A group of local Virginia Tech alumni will be holding a happy hour tomorrow (Jan. 9) to raise money for those impacted by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn.
The fundraiser will run from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. at SoBe in Clarendon (3100 Clarendon Blvd). A $10 donation will buy attendees a wristband entitling them to $2.50 domestic beers, $3.50 rail drinks, $3.50 house wine and food specials. There will also be a 50/50 raffle and DJ Antonio Ernesto will perform.
All proceeds from the event will go to the Sandy Hook Support Fund, says co-organizer Colleen Whalen.
"As a Virginia Tech alum, I know what it's like for a community to suffer loss from a tragic event such as what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary," Whalen said. "It was the outpouring of support from communities around the world that helped my Virginia Tech family cope with our own tragedy."
A local company, Project DC Events, is helping Whalen organize the happy hour. Whalen said she's trying to build on the success of a previous Virginia Tech alumni-organized fundraiser for Sandy Hook, held at Whitlow's last month.
"It's kind of a second push for people who were unable to attend, or were already out of town for the holidays when the first one took place," she told ARLnow.com. "Although some of the organizers went to Virginia Tech, we are trying to promote to a larger audience, not just Hokies."
ACFD Food Drive Ends Friday — The Arlington County Fire Department's food drive, which began on December 1, will end this Friday, December 21.

County Hopes Residents Remove Snow to Avoid Fines — Arlington officials are reminding residents that it could be another year that snow piles up and needs to be removed from sidewalks. The county hopes residents follow the snow removal ordinance that was put in place in 2010. Failure to remove snow is a civil infraction that holds fines of $50-100, and moving snow from private property into public areas (like streets) is a Class 4 misdemeanor. So far, no tickets have been issued under the ordinance. [Sun Gazette]
Sandy Hook School Fundraiser — Whitlow's (2854 Wilson Blvd) is hosting a fundraiser tonight (December 19) to raise money for families affected by Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. The effort was spearheaded by alumni from Virginia Tech who were students during that school's deadly shooting in 2007. All proceeds from the event will go to the Sandy Hook School Support fund. There will also be a table set up for patrons to make cards to be sent to the community in Connecticut. [Hokies for Sandy Hook]

Two new traffic lights have been installed on N. Glebe Road, where new development is causing concerns about pedestrian safety.
One light went in this week on southbound Glebe Road at N. 9th Street, and another on the northbound side at N. Vermont Street. According to the Department of Environmental Services, it was part of a site plan development with the new construction on the west side of Glebe Road.
New buildings in the area, including the recently opened residences at The Jordan and the Virginia Tech Research Center building, which houses commercial tenants such as The Greene Turtle, have brought additional pedestrian traffic. It's expected to increase even more once the office building at 800 N. Glebe is completed.
DES spokeswoman Shannon Whalen McDaniel says that's why it was necessary to put in traffic lights, to establish a safe pedestrian connection between the new construction on the west side of Glebe and the businesses and Ballston Metro station on the east side.
Currently, the lights are still covered up. If all goes according to plan, they should be turned on by the end of the month.
Moran Marks Anniversary of Va. Tech Massacre — Rep. Jim Moran (D) marked the fifth anniversary of the shooting massacre at Virginia Tech yesterday by calling on Congress to improve gun control laws. "When there are nearly enough guns in the U.S. for every man, woman and child, firearms will find their way into the wrong hands," Moran said. "Criminals, terrorists and the dangerously mentally ill have no business owning deadly weapons." A student shot and killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus on April 16, 2007.
Concern About Chicken Doo-Doo — Some residents are concerned that, if enacted, a proposal to allow small-scale backyard hen raising in Arlington would result in extra water pollution.

Yorktown Grad Wins Writing Contest — Bryce Wilson Stuckie, a member of Yorktown High School's Class of 2004 and a recent Virginia Tech grad, has been named one of the two winners of The Nation's sixth annual Student Writing Contest. Stuckie wrote a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking 800-word essay about the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting massacre.
(Updated at 2:00 p.m.) Arlington is home not only to a high concentration of Virginia Tech graduates, but also to the new Virginia Tech National Capital Region Research Center.
Given this afternoon's breaking news about a shooting on the Blacksburg campus, our thoughts are with Virginia Tech and the local VT community. As of 1:50 p.m., news outlets were reporting that two people had been shot and killed, with scattered reports of more shots fired and a shooter who may still be at large on campus. Follow the real-time reporting of the Collegiate Times student newspaper or the reporting of local TV station WDBJ for more details.
Today's shooting no doubt conjures up bad memories of the 2007 shooting spree that claimed 33 lives. Feel free to voice your thoughts in the comments.
Featuring next-generation internet connectivity, computational laboratories and multiple meeting and conference spaces, the new 144,000 square foot Virginia Tech Research Center building in Ballston (900 N. Glebe Road) celebrated its grand opening today.
Virginia Tech President Charles Steger, Rep. Jim Moran, and County Board Chairman Chris Zimmerman were on hand this afternoon for a ribbon cutting ceremony on the glimmering glass-and-steel building's seventh floor.
Zimmerman kicked off the ceremony with references to the "human bandwidth" and "internet firepower" that the building brings to Ballston, Arlington's science and technology hub. Dr. Steger spoke about the research already underway in the building, including research into military medical care, renewable energy and cyber security.
Calling Virginia Tech's Ballston presence an "international center of excellence" and an "investment in our future," Rep. Moran remarked on the benefits it will bring to the area and to the university.
"It will pay substantial dividends to Virginia Tech and enhance its mission to become one of the leading research institutions in the world," he said. Moran added that it would be a mistake to cut federal research funding in the interest of deficit reduction, citing what he said was the need to supplement the "short term, bottom line" focus of corporate research.
Grand Opening for Virginia Tech Research Center — The shiny new Virginia Tech Research Center at 900 N. Glebe Road in Ballston will celebrate its grand opening on Friday. Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger, Congressman Jim Moran and County Board Chairman Chris Zimmerman are among the scheduled speakers. The seven floor, 144,000 square foot facility boasts next-generation internet connectivity, computational laboratories and multiple meeting and conference spaces.
School Board Asks for Definition of Homework — A proposal before the School Board states that homework should count for no more than 15 percent of a student's quarterly grade. However, Board members have asked for clarification after learning that certain take-home projects apparently aren't considered "homework." Some parents have complained that students are being asked to do too much school work outside of school. [Sun Gazette]
Signature Theater Open House Planned — Returning for another year, Shirlington's Signature Theater will be holding its "open house" next month, complete with indoor and outdoor performances, master classes and the popular Signature Idol singing competition. The open house is being held from noon to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 23. [Signature Theater]

Prince Charles lays wreath at Auckland cenotaph

National news
With a gentle wave from their BMW, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have departed from a warm welcome at the Auckland War Memorial Museum where several hundred people turned out to greet them today.
There were war veterans, royalists and a cautious hongi during the couple's first major welcome to New Zealand, on the final leg of their Pacific tour for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Prime Minister John Key said it was a thrill to meet the royal couple - but he wouldn't say what he joked about with the Prince during the Armistice Day commemoration ceremony.
''They said they had a lovely night's sleep at Government House, so that was good, and they're having a great time,'' Mr Key said.
Labour Party leader David Shearer met the Prince briefly and said their topic of conversation was weather.
''We were just saying that if he'd been here the day before it'd been brilliant sunshine,'' Shearer said.
Before the laying of the Armistice Day wreaths Prince Charles and his wife Camilla attended an official Maori welcome by Ngati Whatua in the museum's World War II Hall of Memories.
The Duchess' feathery black hard-brimmed hat, by designer Philip Treacy, caused some hesitation at her first hongi.
''You can try,'' she told Ngati Whatua's Grant Hawke, before leaning in for a brief hongi.
''Lucky she didn't have a flat nose like mine,'' Mr Hawke said with a giggle after the powhiri.
Next in line, Taiaha Hawke, said he was ''a bit of a hongi expert'' and was not put off by the Duchess' hat.
''You've just got to take the lead,'' he said.
Prince Charles received glowing reviews for his address to the powhiri in Maori.
Grant Hawke said it was ''very eloquent''.
''He did his mother proud,'' Mr Hawke said.
Auckland Mayor Len Brown was another to address the gathering.
"Sir we hope you and your wife will have a wonderful time here and you will come and visit us again and enjoy our beautiful city. No rera tena kotou," Mr Brown said.
The royal couple also had morning tea in the museum with 10 war veterans who served in New Zealand's armed forces.
Graeme McKay, who was an army captain, said the royals were very easy to talk to.
''I guess they get lots of practice. He made you feel as though you were the only person in the room. He was asking where I'd served and I said I'd been in Korea and Malaya, and we discussed what it was like over there. It was a pretty nasty war in many ways, and the prince was impressive with his knowledge about it.''
Mr McKay's wife, Nan, said she was surprised by the Duchess' small stature.
''She was not quite what I expected - she's so little and so petite and she's so pretty and so charming. She makes you feel like she's actually interested in meeting you, which is a gift. I was just incredibly impressed with her.
''She was beautifully dressed, beautifully groomed and just completely charming - they were both charming. They talked to all the old soldiers and they made them feel important.''
RNZN veteran John Dallow, who served in the Korean war, was equally impressed.
''I would have thought that they'd get a bit tired of doing this sort of thing all day every day. They must have to do an awful lot of it, but they were genuinely interested in what I did in Korea and what the navy's function was. I thought they were both absolutely charming.''
After the powhiri and before the commemorative ceremony, Prince Charles and the Duchess were given a small private tour through some of the rooms at the museum by director Roy Clare.
Prince Charles was reportedly fascinated by the museum's copy of the Highgrove Florilegium, a detailed collection of illustrations recording plants at his Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.
It is believed to be the only copy in the southern hemisphere and one of 175 published for the Prince's Trust.
He was also shown Sir Edmund Hillary's diary, known as the Everest Diary, from 1953. It is part of the collection of Sir Ed's personal papers held at the museum.
The diary was open to show his style of writing and give a glimpse of the dramatic day-to-day events of the expedition.
Armistice Day wreaths were laid by Prince Charles, Messrs Key, Shearer and Brown and there were wreaths also from New Zealand Defence Force and Returned Services Association representatives, Ngati Whatua and consul generals from Australia, Britain and Japan.
Afterwards the royals met some of the approximately 500 people gathered for the ceremony with some fans calling out "we love you"
"I shook his hand, I said we love you, God bless you," Sisilia Brown said. "He said God bless you too," she said, grinning.
Mr Key said the enthusiasm of today's crowd reflected the affection New Zealanders still have for the monarchy.
''He's the future King of New Zealand so it's extremely important,'' Mr Key said.
''I think you can see by the polls around that New Zealanders' support of the monarchy is extremely strong. If anything it's been growing in recent years.''
British Airborne Forces Association members were also on hand to "meet the boss".
Nine veterans of the forces have come from across the country to commemorate Remembrance Day and meet Prince Charles aka "the boss" and at the end of the service Charles and Camilla sent some time shaking hands with veterans.
"He's the colonel in chief of the Parachute regiment," association secretary Roy Tilley said.
He served in the British Territorials and in Germany from 1960-65 supporting the armed forces and engineers.
Tilley is pleased to see Armistice Day becoming more widely recognised in New Zealand along with Anzac Day.
Actor Dean O'Gorman's grandfather Ron Cossins was among ex-World War 2 soldiers at today's commemorations.
He had a chat with Prince Charles today, telling him he served with his father.
"He was on a destroyer. We served in the same war area north of Africa, in the Mediterranean and Italy."
Cossins was a parachuter, the regiment which Prince Charles is the colonel in chief of.
One person who did not echo all the support was New Zealand Defence Force veteran Kingi Taurua, who wasn't allowed to stand with his comrades beneath the cenotaph because he was holding a protest sign.
He said he supported the Royal visit but was concerned that Waitangi was not on the itinerary.
Mr Taurua, who served in Vietnam, Malaya and Borneo, was told by police he had to remain behind barriers with the rest of the public.
The royal couple have concluded their official engagements for today.
They will spend tomorrow in Auckland, and fly to Wellington on Wednesday.

I'm surprised that I never reviewed this.
After 3 years I seriously can't believe that I didn't review this. Well, what to say? Oh yeah it was FUCKING AWESOME. Really, the kickass graphical quality and your attention to gore really brought out the greatness in this movie. Short and sweet, full of violence and zombies. The sound effects you used were also pretty unique, they seemed a lot more realistic that most I've heard.
The Chasm was a very very very nice touch. Totally complemented the movie in every way. I still can't quite figure out what the first song is, but that one is pretty cool too.
And of course, you're an excellent artist, you do great with blood and gore, as shown by your previous submissions.
I'd like to see more from you some day.
Awsome flash!!
great animations but its too short! but great anyway ^^
That was really gory. I beleive that's the frst time that Satan has been on madness.
ok dude whyd you make jesus look like... it was almost awesome but i just wont take that! That is just cruel!

Why is Vic even in the conversation for opponents? Truth be told, I hope it's Rigo over Mares. If Donaire somehow fought both those guys, I'd want Mares to be second in line.

The Soddy Daisy Commission is considering taking steps to allow wine in grocery stores now that Tennessee lawmakers have voted to lift restrictions.
To have the law appear on the next ballot for a vote, Mayor Janice Cagle said a petition with an amount of signatures totaling 10 percent of the number of voters in the last general election will have to be collected. Commissioner Jim Adams suggested starting this process soon so that the measure could on the November ballot.
If voters support it, the soonest the law would go into effect is in 2016.
Several restrictions still exist. For a grocery store to be considered eligible to sell wine, it must have a facility with floor space of at least 1,200 square feet and a minimum of 20 percent of their sales must come from food products.
The commission also discussed the "Concussion Statute" signed into Tennessee law in 2013 by Governor Bill Haslam. The law states that youth athletes and their parents must read and sign an information form about concussions and head injuries before they can participate in youth sports each year.
The law applies not only to school-based sports programs but also to community sports. City Manager Hardie Stulce said Soddy-Daisy is a "facilities provider only" but the city must see that participants have signed the concussion information forms.
He also said for any organized league to use a Soddy Daisy sports facility, it must have its own insurance and list the city of Soddy Daisy on the policy.
He said, "It must give the city proof of insurance and must show that the city is listed."
In his report, Commissioner Gene Shipley said many of the roads above the sewer system constructed by the Hamilton County Water and Wastewater Treatment Authority (WWTA) are deteriorating. He said when there is a problem with the pipes, the roads above start to sink.
In some areas, he said this has already caused dangerous cracks and potholes.
He said, "It is a serious situation. People will swerve to miss it and then you've got southbound cars."
He said currently, an area at the intersection of Lee Pike and Old Dayton Pike has become particularly dangerous.
The Commission decided to send a letter to the WWTA, reminding it that if anything happens, the city of Soddy Daisy is not liable.
Commissioner Shipley said, "We need to send them a message that we need to get this fixed. If a liability comes from it, we're going to hold them responsible."

- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed government and private insurers' payment practices related to the removal of breast implants, focusing on: (1) the number of surgical procedures that involved the removal of breast implants and other complications of breast implants; and (2) physician charges and Medicaid and Medicare payments for such procedures. GAO noted that: (1) most government and private insurers pay for the removal of silicone gel breast implants; (2) all insurers require that the patient's physician determine that the procedure is medically necessary; (3) some government and private insurers deny coverage if implants are being removed solely because of emotional or psychological stress; (4) Medicare, Medicaid, the Department of Defense, and most private insurers pay for breast implant removal when the original implant was done for cosmetic reasons; and (5) government officials were not aware of any beneficiaries denied coverage for the removal of hazardous breast implants.

The age-adjusted incidence of carcinoid tumors worldwide is approximately 2 per 100,000 persons.[1,2] The average age at diagnosis is 61.4 years.[3] Carcinoid tumors represent about 0.5% of all newly diagnosed malignancies.[2,3]

General Information About Lymphedema
Lymphedema is the build-up of fluid in soft body tissues when the lymph system is damaged or blocked. Lymphedema occurs when the lymph system is damaged or blocked. Fluid builds up in soft body tissues and causes swelling. It is a common problem that may be caused by cancer and cancer treatment. Lymphedema usually affects an arm or leg, but it can also affect other parts of the body. Lymphedema can cause long-term physical, psychological, and social problems for patients. The lymph system...
Read the General Information About Lymphedema article > >
Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing tumors that originate in cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. They occur most frequently in tissues derived from the embryonic gut. Foregut tumors, which account for up to 25% of cases, arise in the lung, thymus, stomach, or proximal duodenum. Midgut tumors, which account for up to 50% of cases, arise in the small intestine, appendix, or proximal colon, with the appendix being the most common site of origin. Hindgut tumors, which account for approximately 15% of cases, arise in the distal colon or rectum.[4] Other sites of origin include the gallbladder, kidney, liver, pancreas, ovary, and testis.[3,4,5]
Gastrointestinal (GI) carcinoid tumors, especially tumors of the small intestine, are often associated with other cancers. Synchronous or metachronous cancers occur in approximately 29% of patients with small intestinal carcinoids.[3] However, it is possible that the association may be due in part to the serendipitous discovery of slow-growing carcinoid tumors, which are found while staging or investigating symptoms from other tumors.
The term carcinoid should be used for well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) or carcinomas of the GI tract only; the term should not be used to describe pancreatic NETs or islet cell tumors.[6] (Refer to the PDQ summary on Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (Islet Cell Tumors) for more information.) Data regarding carcinoids and other NETs, such as poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas, may be combined in some epidemiologic and clinical studies, rendering separate consideration difficult. Occurring nonrandomly throughout the GI tract are more than 14 cell types, which produce different hormones.[7] (Refer to the Cellular and Pathologic Classification of Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumors section of this summary for more information.) Although the cellular origin of NETs of the GI tract is uncertain, consistent expression of cytokeratins in NETs and the expression of the caudal-related homeodomain protein 2 (CdX2 protein), an intestinal transcription factor in endocrine tumors of the small intestine, suggests an origin from an epithelial precursor cell.[8]

Social Web
When Disaster Strikes, Facebook Lets Friends Know You're OK
In the aftermath of disasters like earthquakes, fires and severe weather events, the rush to both alert and check on family and friends can crash telecommunications networks. During the freak 2011 Virginia earthquake, which rattled the nation's capital and damaged the Washington Monument, panicked phone calls quickly overloaded the phone network.
Facebook's newest tool, known as Safety Check, aims to allow people to quickly alert friends and family that they are safe after a natural disaster.
For instance, if an earthquake is detected in the area Facebook thinks a user is located, Safety Check sends a notification asking whether the user is OK. After responding, a user can check off friends he or she knows to be safe.
Facebook says, "we hope it's a tool that helps you stay connected to those you care about, and gives you the comfort of knowing your loved ones are safe."
The Internet can be more reliable than telephones during a disaster. As Hurricane Isaac struck the Gulf Coast in 2012, the Federal Emergency Management Agency tweeted that "phone lines may be congested after a storm" and encouraged users to instead communicate with friends and family via social media.
#Isaac tip: Phone lines may be congested after a storm, so update your social networks or text family/friends to say you're OK.— FEMA (@fema) August 27, 2012
This is just one more way the connectivity and location services of smartphones are playing a role in natural disasters and emergencies. Throw in the growing popularity of fitness and motion tracking devices, and you have an entirely new way of seeing natural disasters.
Back in August, the popular sleep and exercise-tracking device "Jawbone UP" recorded a sudden spike of users waking up.
It was the Napa Valley earthquake, and Jawbone said 93 percent of users in the area woke soon after the rumbling began. (And for those remaining 7 percent of people who didn't wake up, we all wish we could sleep as deeply as you.)
And then there's an alert app from Lebanon, a country that saw a string of politically motivated bombings last year. Sandra Hassan said she was making a "dark" statement of discontent when she published the Android I Am Alive app. After a bombing, people could use the app to send out alerts that they were OK.

Red Sox lineup: David Ortiz sits, Brandon Snyder starts vs. Mark Buehrle
|06.30.13 at 10:02 am ET
Red Sox DH David Ortiz will get a day off with Blue Jays left-hander Mark Buehrle on the hill. Mike Napoli will move from first to DH, with Daniel Nava starting at first, Jonny Gomes in left field and Brandon Snyder getting his first Red Sox start, this one at third base.
Ortiz's absence is noteworthy given that he's enjoyed tremendous success against Buehrle. The slugger has a career .358/.394/.627 line with three homers against the Toronto southpaw. For complete batter vs. pitcher information, click here. For full team coverage, visit weei.com/redsox.

I didn't have natural bran, so I used powdered wheat flakes cereal instead. I also reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup, used raisins, and baked for 1 1/2 hour. The bread turned out very flavourful, but the raisins made it terribly difficult to slice the loaf! It also did seem a little dense, but I will make this again, with a few changes.
My Aunt made this bread exactly as written with dates only and I love it. I asked for the recipe from her and when I searched zaar I found your post. Thanks for adding it. Everyone can use a little more healthy in their lives :).
I loved it! I did alter a few things on mine: I added raisins, date and dried apricot bits, added 1 tsp of olive oil and halved almonds on top for decor. It also took about 50 minutes or so to bake. This is a great healthy bread!
