Stomach cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the stomach. Stomach cancer can develop in any part of the stomach and spread to other organs through tumor growth, the bloodstream, or the lymphatic system.
There are five layers of tissue in the stomach. The innermost layer is called the mucosa and is where approximately 90% to 95% of stomach cancer begins. This type of tumor is called an adenocarcinoma.
Less common stomach cancers include:
It is believed that stomach cancer takes several years to develop. Many precancerous changes that rarely cause symptoms occur before stomach cancer develops. This is why most cases of stomach cancer are undetected until the later stages of the disease.
The exact cause of stomach cancer is not known. There are, however, several well-known risk factors that contribute to the development of stomach cancer.
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. The risk factors for stomach cancer include:
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to stomach cancer. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
In some cases, there may not be symptoms.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. She will also do a physical exam.
Diagnostic tests may include:
Stomach cancer is most often detected in the later stages. Stomach cancer is treated based on the location, size, stage, and extent of disease. Treatment options for stomach cancer include:
Surgery is the most common treatment for stomach cancer. The type of surgery depends on the stage of the disease.
There are three types of stomach surgery that may be done:
This is the use of high-energy rays to kill or shrink cancer cells.
Radiation therapy
may be used after surgery to destroy cancer cells that could not be seen or removed during surgery.
In cases where stomach cancer has spread,
combined with radiation therapy may increase the risk of survival and reduce the risk of cancer returning. Chemotherapy
is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be given in many forms including: pill, injection, or via a catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells.
The rate of stomach cancer has declined over the past 60 years due in large part to dietary factors. The change from salting and pickling foods to refrigerating foods for preservation is thought to have played a large role in this decrease.

Installing A Coilover/Four-Bar Rear Suspension System - Belly Up To The Four-BarWritten by on August 27, 2010 Installing A Coilover/Four-Bar Rear Suspension System
You may recall back in the August issue I began the long road toward a finished and driveable classic pickup with the successful installation of a coilover IFS system from Total Cost Involved Engineering. Hopefully I was able to prove my point by allowing everyone to see that even an all-thumbs wannabe truck builder like me can successfully tackle a pretty major upgrade all by himself at home in a less than professional two-car garage/shop. I'm happy to report that since that issue hit the stands I've received more than a couple of reader's emails letting me know that my efforts have motivated them to give similar installs a go themselves. So, while my ego is pumped, I thought I'd share my experience installing a new suspension system to the opposite end of the '57 with the hope once again that some of you may figure that if I can do it, so can you.
As I did with the IFS, I chose my rear suspension components from TCI as well. The rear suspension is actually a lot easier and less intimidating than the front so as long as you can weld, there's no excuse for you to pay someone else to do something I'm sure you can do on your own. And though I did choose to use TCI components, the four-bar/coilover system is pretty basic, and the overall process will be nearly the same with any brand of aftermarket suspension of the same basic design. Rather than continue to blabber on and on, I'll get to the meat and potatoes. So take a look.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
As is true with all of TCI's component kits, everything one needs to complete the install is in the kit. The four-bar setup in question contains frame brackets, rearend housing brackets, a replacement rear crossmember, a Panhard bar, a pair of TCI's All American coilover shocks, all the required nuts and bolts, an instruction sheet and parts list, and, as one would imagine, four-bars.The chore pretty much started off like the IFS install, with the chassis supported and leveled on a set of jackstands. Here you can see the frame equipped with the OE leaf-spring suspension and the original rearend assembly (as well as my new Currie 9-Plus just waiting to be installed). Before you remove anything you'll want to mark the frame where the stock rear axle centerline is so the new one ends up in the same place and you retain the correct wheelbase (114 inches).With all of the TCI parts accounted for and laid out within easy reach, I began the first step of disassembly by loosening and removing the parking brake cables from their mounting points.After the cables had been disconnected I then set out to remove the leaf springs from their mounting brackets. The rear portions of the leaf springs (shown here) are held in place by shackles, and with liberal amounts of penetrating oil like WD-40 and a bit of elbow grease, the nuts and shackle plates are removed.The front spring mounts attach the springs a bit differently than the rear. After removing the bolt in the center of the mount I tried to remove the pin that holds the spring islet to the bracket, but to no avail. After a bit of head scratching and probing through the accumulated crud on the bracket I finally found the stud and nut you see here. Apparently, the pin is notched and this bolt locks it into place-something I hadn't expected.With the nuts removed from the keepers it was an easy task to drive them out using a hammer and punch, in turn allowing the pins to be removed and the leaf springs (and rearend assembly) to be slid out from under the frame and out of the way.With the rearend and spring out of the way it was then time to remove the leaf-spring brackets from the frame-oh joy ... Thankfully my pop was handy and we shared the crummy chore of drilling out the factory rivets that hold the brackets to the frame.
Here you can see the old, heavy, cast-iron spring mounts and steel crossmember along with the new frame and rearend housing brackets and crossmember.I then found the exact centerline of the frame, marked it, and ran a string from front to rear (as shown) and centered the pinion shaft to the string. This should locate the rearend so that the drums are an equal distance from the 'rails on both sides. I then double-checked it with a tape measure to make sure.The front four-bar brackets mount to the frame where the original front spring brackets used to be. There is a difference between the new right and left bar brackets so you've got to pay attention. To figure out which is which just make sure that the lower bar mounting hole in each bracket is further forward than the upper hole. Attach the new brackets to the frame using the supplied bolts and nuts, and snug them up. Next, you'll have to drill two new 5/8-inch holes (one on each side) in the frame through the upper bracket bar mounting holes (they had yet to be drilled in this image). The second image shows the bolts and lock nuts from the inside of the 'rails.With the rearend centered, I then measured the wheelbase to ensure the rearend was square in the frame and the same on each side.Next, adjust the bars so that all four are the same length (leaving a 1/2 inch of thread showing on each adjuster will get the rearend pretty darn close to correct wheelbase-wise). I use a couple of long bolts slid through the adjuster holes to make sure they're all the same length.Once I was sure everything was where it was supposed to be I then attached the rearend housing brackets to the four-bars and lifted them up snug against the axle tubes (the brackets should end up 36 inches center to center on the tubes), and tack-welded them in place.The new rear crossmember slides into place exactly where the original was and is bolted to the frame through the holes left after drilling out the original rivets.
Once the rear crossmember was in place I then disconnected the four-bars from the rearend brackets, rolled the rearend out from underneath, and proceeded to finish weld the brackets to the rearend axle tubes. This was pretty time consuming in itself as I only welded about an inch at a time, going back and forth and from side to side, so that I wouldn't heat the tubes up too much and cause them to warp.Next, I slid the rearend back under the frame, reattached the four-bars to the brackets, jacked up the rearend, and installed the new coilover shocks.The final step of the install was to attach the Panhard bar. The Panhard attaches to the left front four-bar bracket and then to the right rearend four-bar bracket. The Heim ends are adjustable so that the bar can be installed without moving the rearend out of center and, once slightly adjusted, will serve to keep the rearend from moving side to side as the truck goes down the road and around curves.At this point it was time to get the chassis down on its new wheels and tires. I unpacked my new Wheel Vintiques 16x7 Smoothies, painted them the desired color, and ran them down the road to my local tire shop and had my equally new Coker Classic wide whites mounted and the assemblies balanced. You may notice I chose to use Wheel Vintiques repo early style Chevy hubcaps and 1-inch trim rings rather than the correct '57 caps-only because I love the earlier-style cap and think the combo will look good.And here it is-the finished product. Well, almost finished. I still have to finish repainting the chassis, but this was enough for one day. Anyway, that's about all there is to it (thanks to TCI). It's a job that nearly anyone can accomplish in a weekend without a lot of heartache (especially if you're lucky to have someone else to drill out those darn rivets like I did-thanks again pop). With the '57's chassis about wrapped up I'm looking forward to working on the body next. Keep your eyes peeled for more progress in the near future. See ya next month!

Ron Galella: Unseen Photographs From the World's Most Infamous Paparazzo
I am one of the lucky ones who got forced out of necessity into a job that I now absolutely love. I had zero idea I wanted to work in fashion. I had no idea being a stylist was even a job, let alone something you could actually get paid to do! I grew up on a farm in Africa and was still wearing Minnie Mouse leggings a the age of 14, so no, I was not what you would call "fashion forward" as a child.
I had my heart set on being a hard-hitting journalist at CNN and whilst waiting for my internship to start, my funds started to dwindle and I had to get a job... fast. Through a series of fortunate events I found myself working as an assistant at Allure magazine.
The real moment that I realized I wanted to be a stylist and have a career in the fashion industry was whilst assisting on my first major fashion spread. We were in Newport Beach, California. Amber Valletta modeling swimwear, Patrick Demarchelier shooting this gorgeous creature and Paul Cavaco styling the shoot in the most effortless, creative way possible. It was a swimwear story, but so much more: swimwear with amazing headscarves, studded sandals, vintage leather-covered cooler boxes, Burberry towels, bold perspex bangles and Hermès playing cards. The whole thing blew my mind. I never imagined there was so much going on in one frame—so much thought and planning and imagination. I, of course, did everything wrong, wore inappropriate clothes, packed the boxes wrong, laid out the jewelry incorrectly. But Paul was unbelievable and I was hooked!
It is hard to pinpoint a specific moment when I realized I wanted a career in fashion. I have always been very curious by its world. I remember pouring through magazines as a child, religiously watching Fashion File and reading WWD in college, and this culminated in a strong desire for a focused fashion PR career. Then of course there is that ongoing shopping problem! It always seemed like the natural progression to follow and I never considered another path along the way. It's just in my blood!

We have 435 instructional videos covering a broad range of scuba diving topics. Use the video category links on the right of this page to navigate to the specific video you want to view. All videos are hosted by our professionally trained Scuba Diving Instructors with years of experience.
Do you want to make sure your underwater camera stays in top shape? Want to learn how to properly clean and store your BC? Have you ever wondered what's so special about the Spring Heel Straps? Do you ever wonder what the advantages are to using Scooters (DPVs)? What about the differences between L.E.D. and H.I.D. lights? We have answers to all these questions, and many more in a format that is quick and easy to understand.
Take advantage of these informative scuba videos below, or click on one of the video category links to the right.
This instructional video demonstrates the differences between high pressure scuba tanks and low pressure scuba tanks.Scuba Diving Tanks or Cylinders allow the diver to have his / her own source of air. Scuba Tanks are a cylinder container made from steel or aluminum. Scuba Tanks hold different amounts of air so It's vital to select the right volume Scuba Tank as different sizes are made for different purposes. The difference between an aluminum tank and a steel tank are that a steel tank ´besides the price´ is that it may rust internally over time. Whereas, an aluminum tank will not. Although an Aluminum tank may seem the way to go, it is not always the case. For example, an aluminum tank thread's have had a tendency to strip out or have cracked in once in a while than a steel tank. And most aluminum tanks have a positive buoyancy. In general most Scuba Divers start with the a basic AL80 Tank because of the price difference. There are several SCUBA cylinder manufacturers, and the specifications for their cylinder pressures, dimensions, and capacities are constantly changing.
This instructional video demonstrates the differences between steel scuba tanks and aluminum scuba tanks. When it comes to complexity of scuba diving, Scuba Tanks are the poster child of that complexity. You have aluminum and steel. Steel scuba diving tanks like all tanks come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Steel tanks offer the best all around capabilities for a high capacity at low working pressures. Aluminum tanks are cheaper and come in more sizes to choose from. Aluminum scuba diving tanks are the most common diving tanks in the world. Just about every scuba diving operation in the world uses aluminum tanks. These tanks weigh less than a corresponding steel tank, easier to wear and dive with.

Mavic Yksion Comp Clincher Tire $0.00
Regardless of if you have both a race-day and training wheelset, you shouldn't be eating up your race rubber with base miles. That's why the Mavic Yksion Comp Clincher Tire is the ideal tire for your everyday wheelset. Designed for heavy duty use, the Yksion Comp features a high density casing that will withstand the rigors of your training schedule without sacrificing any ride quality.
This casing adds durability without taking away from the 120 TPI casing's suppleness. After all, ride quality is still paramount when you're stacking up training miles. At 210 grams, the Yksion Comp is slightly heftier than other tires in the Mavic line, like the Pro Griplink, but the enhanced durability easily offsets that. Besides, you're only looking at a 10 gram differential between the Pro series when you run the Comp as a set.
Mavic's all-condition rubber compound and tread expertly blend grip, efficiency, and durability. And the bead uses foldable aramid fibers that are both lightweight and durable.
The Mavic Yksion Comp Clincher Tire is available as a 700c tire and in either a 23 or 25cm width.

There is very little difference between the Yksion Comp and the Vittoria Rubino Pro slick tire other than a slight difference in the dual rubber compounding. The two rubbers separate slightly, unlike the Rubino's, after some use and makes even bike shop people think the tires are deteriorating but this is not a problem other than very small stones can get trapped in the
very narrow grooves that develop. These are relatively fast, very comfortable tires with decent flat protection, excellent grip, and good durability. These have been discontinued and replaced with the F/R specific Griplink/Power Link that are even better but you get many more miles from tires you can rotate and don't let bike shop people tell you rotating is bad as it is a ruse.
The flat spot that develops on the rear tire has minimal effect when put on the front, but don't let it get too bad. If you rotate after 1000 miles it is simple, you add another 900 miles of life to your tires as the front tire barely wears at all.
Good comment and suggestions ref: rotating tires.

Went down to the closest dealer today. It was a small scooter shop in San Clemente. They had 2 C5 (Teal and Red) and two G5 (Black and Green). The employee I spoke to was nice .....He started up a G for me. Both bikes are definately much sexier in person.

Comments about Franklin Competition 46" PVC Roller Hockey Goal:
I do play hockey somewhat often, and my wristshot is somewhat hard, but nothing to brag about for a teenager, but i took less than 40 wristshots from about 20-30 feet away and the net started to come loose. When I hit the crossbar, it cracked, and when I hit the support bar in the back a couple times, it literally cracked in half.

Every skin needs moisture. MD Formulations Moisturizers work to hydrate skin, retaining essential moisture and leaving a smooth, soft surface. Proper hydration not only leaves the skin supple but it also prevents many common problems that can crop up as the result of lack of moisture. Hydration allows the skin to defend itself against the environment, warding off problems and healing itself more quickly and more efficiently. Even oily skin can benefit from the daily use of MD Formulations Moisturizers. All of the products that fall within the category of MD Formulations Moisturizers are multi-tasking products that provide benefits in addition to the essential hydration.
Since everyone should use a moisturizer every day, it is a convenient bonus to receive additional benefits when using MD Formulations Moisturizers. This saves time and effort. MD Formulations Moisturizers should follow an appropriate cleanser from MD Formulations. Hydrating after cleansing helps to lock in the water that is left on the skin and keep the skin moisturized for hours, either all day or all night. Once MD Formulations Moisturizers have been allowed to absorb in the skin, makeup can be applied over the top. MD Formulations Moisturizers can also be used in conjunction with other treatment products from the MD Formulations brand.
There are MD Formulations Moisturizers for all skin types and concerns. The variety of product offerings can accommodate all customers.
MD Formulations Moisture Defense Antioxidant Creme works to strengthen the skin's defenses as it moisturizes. The formula is rich with free radical neutralizers that help protect the skin against every day aggressors that can wreak havoc on the health of the skin. The skin's barrier protection is left stronger and in a better position to retain vital moisture.
MD Formulations Moisture Defense Antioxidant Lotion delivers all of the same benefits as the MD Formulations Moisture Defense Antioxidant Creme but in a lotion formula that is preferred by some. Continued use will result in a smoother, healthier skin surface.
MD Formulations Moisture Defense Antioxidant Hydrating Gel has all of the benefits of the lotion and creme formula in a gel consistency that is ideal for skin that is oily and prone to blemishes. It works great when used in conjunction with acne products as it restores essential moisture without leaving any kind of residue on the skin. Antioxidants help to protect the skin while anti-inflammatory ingredients help reduce redness and irritation. The skin is left feeling and looking clear and comfortable.

Howard Dominates Morehouse in Third Annual Nation's Football Classic
Howard junior quarterback Greg McGhee threw three touchdowns as the Bison beat Morehouse College, 27-16, in the third annual AT&T Nation's Football Classic on Sept. 7 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.
The first two installments of the Nation's Classic were close contests between Howard and Morehouse, but this year Howard dominated Morehouse for nearly the entire game.
Howard claimed a 20-3 halftime lead after McGhee tossed two touchdowns in the second quarter, the first a 20-yard pass to freshman running back Anthony Philyaw and the second a 27-yard strike to sophomore receiver Matthew Colvin with 1:58 left in the second quarter. McGhee's third touchdown came with 7:44 left in the third quarter on a 26-yard pass to junior receiver Rodney Tyson.
McGhee was named the game's MVP after completing 21 of 27 passes for 242 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions; he also rushed for 55 yards. Sophomore running back William Parker ran for a team-high 60 yards on 17 carries.
Morehouse tried to climb back in the game in the fourth quarter, scoring a touchdown on a nine-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Joshua Harris, and another on a short run by redshirt junior running back Shelton Hamilton. The two scores cut Howard's lead to 11 points midway through the final quarter but the Bison defense held, stymying the comeback effort.
Game Notes:
The game's organizer, Events DC, offered a Fan Festival with free entry from 11 a.m. up to kickoff time at 3:30 p.m. The festival featured a concert from star R&B singer and Washington, D.C. native Raheem Devaughn outside RFK Stadium.
More than 17,000 people attended the concert and game.

At the end of a shaded trail, will you choose the sauna or the hot spring?
Linger in the pure, steam-fired broth of this first-flush green tea thinking clear, peaceful thoughts. Like watching mist rise off a thermal spring, hidden behind a wooded glen and only accessible by trampoline.
For Best Brewing
- Use one heaping teaspoon of loose leaves per 8 fl oz (236 ml) of 175F (80c) water.
- Let it steep for 3 minutes and wait for perfection.
The liquor of a green tea is typically a green or yellow color, and flavors range from toasty, grassy (pan-fired teas) to fresh and streamed greens (steamed teas) with mild astringency.

Barack Obama's Happy Christmas on Memorial Day
Perhaps this old song from John Lennon played in President Obama's head as he gave his recent speech at The National Defense University. It's decent yet misguided naivete went through mine as I read about The President's views on our war against Reactionary Islamic Fundamentalism.
Brett Easton Ellis begins his first novel Less Than Zero with a seeming Red Herring. Blair tells Clay (the anti-heroic protagonist) that "People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles." This, of course, symbolizes the empty, existential ennui that Easton-Ellis posited as a monster poised to devour the children of 1980's America. I sometimes feel that I live in an era marked by that monster's triumphant conquest over what was once a great American Nation. I find myself forced against my will to believe the nation I once loved has succumbed to what I once described as "The Evil of The Blur." I was born here and grew up here. I served in my nation's armed forces of my own free will. I wasn't exactly Rambo and never claim to be. However, I loved America without condition. Now I only remain patriotic to the memory and hope in all my delusional vanity that this is what we can again become. Now keep that in mind as you imagine what Osama Bin Laden thought about America on a typical day.Read More »

May 25, 2016
Lanier County, GA, November 1, 2012 - The peach state has gotten a lot more protein lately. Soybean production is up nearly 130% from last year.
Paul Folsom is a farmer from Lanier County. He said "the weather has played an important part this year in our overall crop production in south east Georgia and north Florida. We've had an excellent planting season and growing season."
According to the most recent forecast by the department of agriculture, Georgia is expected to harvest more than 400 million pounds of soybeans.. Good weather equals big yields.
The amount of soybeans harvested per acre in Georgia is up 50% from last year. More soybeans harvested means more jobs.
Folsom went on to say "the better crop a farmer has the more he can spend on labor and other things, equipment and so forth. But labor is certainly a must on a farm."
Folsom says this year's soybean crop is adding as many as a thousand jobs in Lanier County alone. With droughts throughout the rest of the country... Georgia's farmers are reaping the benefits.
Georgia's Commissioner of Agriculture, Gary Black, said "when supplies are low and other people are suffering actually those who have product to sell are the ones who benefit and that's certainly the way it is for our producers this year."
Peanut production is also on the rise in Georgia... up more than 80% from last year.

LORTON, Va. (WUSA) -- A Lorton sandwich shop owner may have been the target of an explosion Wednesday morning.
It happened in the 9500 block of Richmond Highway in the Williamsburg Square Shopping Center at about 10:30 a.m.
An employee at the thrift store next door heard the explosion as things were flying off the shelves
Fairfax County Police say they are looking for at least one person seen running from the parking lot.
Now police are trying to figure out who did this and why the sub shop was targeted.
"Fire coming out the windows, obviously the windows are blown out. There is at least one victim who has been burned," Deputy Chief Mike Reilly, Fire Marshall's Office said.
Witnesses say the sub shop owner Lawrence Reese was badly burned and taken to Washington Hospital Center's burn unit.
Police are looking into other crimes that have happened at the business.
It was broken into last year and there were reports of graffiti spray painted inside. Three years ago, an accidental fire burned down the sub shop and a neighboring business in 2010.
There are unconfirmed reports, this time, it was a Molotov cocktail that went off inside the sandwich business, and that it may have backfired on the suspect.
Bomb sniffing and tracking dogs were dispatched. Police are searching for at least one suspect and possibly a second.
Police scoured the area of Lorton trying to find out who may be responsible.
Police have not made any arrests yet.

The FCC has developed a new interactive, online auction tutorial to replace our long-standing practice of hosting live auction seminars and streaming them over the web (although we could still hold a live seminar in addition to providing the tutorial if desired for certain auctions). We believe that this tutorial will allow us to provide high-quality training materials to potential auction applicants in a more user-friendly format. The tutorial software allows interested viewers to choose the specific materials they wish to view and to do so whenever and as often as it is convenient and useful.
The first auction for which the FCC has posted a tutorial is Auction 87, the upcoming auction of licenses for lower and upper paging bands spectrum, which is scheduled to begin on May 25, 2010. The tutorial is available here. This video provides a brief demonstration of the new tutorial:

here´s a new poster i have made for misfits..this 11x17 poster has already been printed,this is my first poster in print!!
here´s a new poster i have made for misfits..this 11x17 poster has already been printed,this is my first poster in print!!
ere ya go
Basically just copy all the http// stuff in the direct link box in image shak, then click on the mountain thingy symbol in the message window on GP and paste in the copied http// stuff and voilà.
took me ages to figure out.....
Neat poster btw. I like the illustration. would've thrown in some weird color and reduced the space taken up by the type a bit to give your illu a bit more prominence. if people like your poster it will be because of the image rather than the venue details - BUT having said that- It is an advertisement so the venue probably prefers its details written large ... I usually don't care about that much though (want them to sell) but that's probably considered arrogant or something bad.
just my dime.
Really nice drawing. Great work!
a letter of resignation
"put the immersion on your mensch with a scrub-coaster. then print with a 70 durometer skyguy"
-Steve W
very cool illo - nice job. i'm a big fan of B&W posters (obviously), and i think this works as is. and may i commend you on the hand lettering - very nice and un-lazy-like.
keep up the good work.
she seems to like the monster.
i agree about the text. keep misfits large but reduce the size of the rest of the info.
i could go either way on the color, but if it were to be added maybe only one color, like a monster green on him only (maybe a little on misfits)
you should try screening it on a couple different colors of paper. a dark sepia on a beige paper could look pretty cool, but darker the better on the sepia.
Stop stepping on my toes, you big ape!
Seriously, I like it.
"don't go changin', to try and please me..."
yeah, what they said.
cool poster.

Catch a glimpse of a comet
By Vernon WhetstoneAmateur Astronomer
And now for Part III of Astronomy 101, comets. Comets are basically just big balls of frozen water, dirt, and gasses. They come whizzing into the inner solar system from out beyond the orbit of Pluto, make a trip around the Sun and head back out to where they came from—generally. In ancient times they were thought to be bringers of bad news. You know, kings dying, catastrophe, and other sorts of bad news. What's more, they would often take hundreds of thousands of years to do it; the trip each way that is. At present there are two comets coming in from the cold of the outer solar system for their trip around the Sun. The first, Comet PanSTARRS, C/2011 L4, will make its appearance in the western sky toward the end of this week and beginning of next week. PanSTARRS stands for Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System. The comet should be visible in the western sky just after sunset between March 8-10. Its closest approach to Earth will be on March 5, and closest approach to the Sun on March 10. When first discovered, astronomers were saying it should be a very bright comet, but such has not been the case. It has been visible to viewers in the southern hemisphere for a couple of weeks, but has not produced the brightness they had hoped for. To find the comet go outside starting on the evening of March fifth about a half-hour after sunset and look west. You will need a very clear, uncluttered horizon because the comet will not be very far above the horizon. It will set by 7 p.m. Probably the best time to look for the "faint fuzzy" will be on Tuesday, March 12, when it will be above the horizon longer, and will be near two other objects which should help with locating it. On that date the comet, a very slender one-day old moon, and the planet Uranus will all be within the same binocular field of view. If it is still bright enough, another good viewing opportunity will be during the first week of April (April 1-6) when the comet will be very close to the Andromeda Galaxy, both will be in the same field of binocular view on those dates. The other comet is Comet ISON C/2012 S1 (International Scientific Optical Network) which will make an appearance for us in the northern hemisphere in November. Again, astronomers have high hopes for this one, saying it could be bright enough to be seen in the daytime. Analysis of its orbit shows it has taken perhaps more thana million years to come in from the outer solar system and is in all probability not a periodic comet. That means it won't be back in our lifetime. Astronomers believe when it rounds the Sun, its orbit will be shortened to 110,000 years. So, if you have never seen a comet, now is your opportunity to do so. SKY WATCH: New moon, March 11. March 12, Comet PanSTARRS, Uranus, and the moon all together in the west. Look at about 7:30 p.m. MDT. Daylight Savings Time starts Sunday, March 10 so "Spring" ahead. Speaking of spring, it will arrive in two weeks.

AP Sources: American Airlines, US Airways to merge
DALLAS The merger of American Airlines and US Airways, to be formally announced Thursday, caps a turbulent half-decade of bankruptcies and consolidation for the U.S. airline industry and leaves travelers four big carriers to choose from.
The boards of American parent AMR Corp. and US Airways approved the deal late Wednesday, according to four people close to the situation.
The merged carrier will be the world's biggest and will keep the American Airlines name, but it will be run by US Airways CEO Doug Parker. American's CEO, Tom Horton, will serve as chairman of the new company until mid-2014, these people said. They requested anonymity because the merger negotiations were private.
The deal has been in the works since August, when creditors pushed for merger talks so they could decide which earned them a better return: a merger or Horton's plan for an independent airline. American has been restructuring under bankruptcy protection since late 2011. AMR creditors and possibly its shareholders will own 72 percent of the stock, and US Airways Group Inc. shareholders will get the rest, three of the people said.
A formal announcement is expected Thursday morning.
If the deal is approved by AMR's bankruptcy judge and antitrust regulators, the new American will have more than 900 planes, 3,200 daily flights and about 95,000 employees, not counting regional affiliates. It will be slightly bigger than United Airlines by passenger traffic.
Since 2008, Delta gobbled up Northwest, United absorbed Continental and Southwest bought AirTran Airways. If this latest merger goes through, American, United, Delta and Southwest will control about three-quarters of U.S. airline traffic.
The rapid consolidation has allowed the surviving airlines to offer bigger route networks that appeal to high-paying business travelers. And it has allowed them to limit the supply of seats, which helps prop up fares and airline profits.
Word of an American-US Airways merger raised new concern among passenger advocates. Charles Leocha of the Consumer Travel Alliance said that with just four big airlines instead of five, it will be easier to raise fares. "The benefits of this deal will go only to the corporations, not to consumers," he said.
But industry officials say there will still be plenty of competition. A recent study by PricewaterhouseCoopers found that adjusting for inflation, domestic U.S. airfares fell 1 percent between 2004 and 2011, a period that included several airline mergers.
Travelers on American and US Airways won't notice immediate changes. It likely will be months before the frequent-flier programs are combined and years before the two airlines are fully integrated.
When that happens, American's presence will grow in key East Coast markets including New York's LaGuardia Airport and Washington's Reagan National Airport. The merger will add US Airways hubs in Charlotte, Philadelphia and Phoenix to American's in Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Miami, New York and Los Angeles.
US Airways will boost American's service to Europe and the Latin America-Caribbean market but wouldn't fix American's weakness on routes to Asia.
Just five years ago, American was the world's biggest airline. It boasted a history reaching back 80 years to the beginning of air travel. It had popularized the frequent-flier program and developed the modern system of pricing airline tickets to match demand.
But years of heavy losses drove AMR into bankruptcy protection. The company blamed bloated labor costs; its unions accused executives of mismanagement. AMR lost more than $12 billion between 2001 and 2010. It has lost another $2.8 billion since it filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2011 - a period in which US Airways earned about $650 million.
The merger is an impressive achievement for Parker and his management team at US Airways, based in Tempe, Ariz. Just a few years ago, they were running a mid-sized carrier called America West Airlines when they bought the old US Airways out of bankruptcy.


text: It's an interesting idea seeing as how there are numerous real life places in his works. If nothing else it serves for inspirational purposes but I kind of like the notion. Of course I've never read anything by him...literature is not my strong suit, but maybe I could find something interesting.

Marian University Joins National Effort To Improve Schools
by John Armitage | Nov 27, 2012
Eight-month program will train district and charter administrators on KIPP's leadership model
To help improve K-12 schools, Marian University is now working withKIPP (the Knowledge is Power Program), a San Francisco headquartered, national network of open-enrollment, college-preparatory public charter schools with a track record of preparing students in underserved communities for success in college. Over 95 percent of students enrolled in KIPP schools are African American or Hispanic/Latino. KIPP is launching its inauguralKIPP Leadership Design Fellowship (KLDF), an eight-month program that introduces public school administrators from districts and charter schools to KIPP's leadership development model. The first of the program's three interactive summits is taking place March 20-22 in Houston, Texas. This is the first time that a dozen or more large urban school districts have participated in a leadership institute run by a charter school network. KLDF will give participants an in-depth look at KIPP's principal selection, training, and development model, as well as exploring other innovative leadership models around the country. The goal is not only to share KIPP's best practices and experience, but also to encourage participating organizations to learn from each other. The KLDF summits were made possible by the United States Department of Education, which selected the KIPP Foundation to receive a 2010 start-up grant from the Investing in Innovation (i3) Fund. These funds have enabled KIPP to train more leaders, accelerate the growth of the KIPP charter school network, and share effective practices with other schools and networks. "We are excited to have participants from so many districts and charter schools for our inaugural year," said KIPP chief executive officer Richard Barth. "This fellowship represents a unique opportunity for us at KIPP to not only share what we've learned over the years, but also to learn even more from our partners across the spectrum of public education." "I am pleased and excited that Marian University's Academy for Teaching and Learning Leadership is participating in KLDF," said Daniel J. Elsener, president of Marian University. "Partnering with organizations like KIPP will not only strengthen our work, but will encourage public educators everywhere to learn from each other in our quest to keep improving educational opportunities for all children." Since 2000, KIPP has trained over 100 school founders and school leaders to take the helm at KIPP schools across the United States. KIPP's leadership training focuses on identifying and strengthening 14 key areas of competency, which KIPP school leaders can then rely on to help capitalize on the strengths of their staffs, identify areas for growth, effectively manage others, build relationships, and drive results in their schools. During the March 2012 summit in Houston, KLDF participants will explore effective practices for developing a leadership pipeline of talented, skilled school leaders. The second summit will take place in June 2012, and will focus on principal training and residencies. The third summit will be in October 2012, and will cover principal support and evaluation. Senior officials from 15 school districts are participating in KLDF. These include Boston Public Schools (Massachusetts), Fulton County Schools (Georgia), Charleston County School District (North Carolina), Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (North Carolina), Denver Public Schools (Colorado), D.C. Public Schools (District of Columbia), Houston Independent School District (Texas), Spring Branch Independent School District (Texas), Los Angeles Unified School District (California), Ascension Parish Schools (Louisiana), Tennessee Achievement School District (Tennessee), New Haven Public Schools (Connecticut), Newark Public Schools (New Jersey), West Contra Costa Unified School District (California), Chicago Public Schools (Illinois), and New York City's Department of Education (New York). There are also representatives from four charter management organizations participating in KLDF, including the Tennessee Charter School Incubator (Tennessee), Uplift Education (Texas), Achievement First (Connecticut), and Rocketship Education (California). We also have participants from seven educator training programs including the Arkansas Leadership Academy (Arkansas), Chicago Leadership Collaborative (Illinois), Get Smart Schools (Colorado), Southern Methodist University's ED Entrepreneur Center/Teaching Trust (Texas), Marian University's Academy for Teaching and Learning Leadership (Indiana), Louisiana Tech University's College of Education (Louisiana), and Teach For America. About KIPP KIPP—the Knowledge Is Power Program—is a national network of open-enrollment, college-preparatory public charter schools with a track record of preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and in life. KIPP was founded in Houston in 1994, and has grown to 109 schools serving over 32,000 students in 20 states and Washington, D.C. Over 95 percent of students enrolled in KIPP schools are African American or Hispanic/Latino, and more than 80 percent qualify for the federal free and reduced-price meals program. To date, over 85 percent of students who have graduated from KIPP middle schools have matriculated to college. To learn more, visitwww.kipp.org.
