As a result of increased life expectancy, elderly
individuals constitute an increasing proportion
of patients admitted to hospitals for acute ST elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI). The selection
of reperfusion strategy for elderly patients with acute
STEMI bears great importance due to the high complication
and low efficacy rates of fibrinolytic (FL)
therapy.[1,2] Currently, primary percutaneous coronary
intervention (p-PCI) is the most commonly preferred
reperfusion strategy. Compared with FL therapy, mortality
rates are significantly lower. However, there is
still controversy regarding the efficacy of p-PCI in patients
of advanced age due to limited outcome data in
the literature.[2]
We aimed to compare the efficacy of primary percutaneous
coronary intervention (p-PCI) in patients
≥80 versus <80 years of age with ST-segment elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Study population
Of the 2459 consecutive patients with acute STEMI
who were admitted to our hospital between January
2006 and April 2009,
2213 subjects met the
inclusion criteria and
were retrospectively
enrolled (Figure 1).
Enrolled patients met
the following criteria:[1]
ST-segment elevation
≥0.1 mV in two or
more leads (2 mm for
V1-V3) or a new-onset
left bundle branch
block on an electrocardiogram,
and[2] typical
ongoing ischemic chest pain for longer than 30
minutes. Written, informed consent for the procedure
was obtained from all patients. Clinical outcomes of
enrolled patients were then prospectively followed for
a median duration of 42 months. Local ethics committee
approved this study.
Percutaneous coronary interventions
All patients received 300 mg of aspirin and a loading
dose of clopidogrel (300 to 600 mg) upon admission as well as intravenous standard heparin 70 U/kg (60
U/kg in patients receiving glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor)
before the procedure. The use of a glycoprotein
IIb/IIIa inhibitor (tirofiban) was left to the primary
operator's discretion. All p-PCI procedures were performed
by experienced interventional cardiologists
using a femoral approach. Depending on the coronary
anatomy and lesion characteristics, patients underwent
direct stenting, conventional stenting, or solely
balloon dilation procedures. All patients were transferred
to a coronary intensive care unit after undergoing
p-PCI. After the intervention, all patients were
given 1 mg/kg of subcutaneous enoxaparin twice daily
(dosages were adjusted according to the patient's
estimated glomerular filtration rates [eGFR]), 150
mg/day of aspirin, and 75 mg/day of clopidogrel.
Data collection and clinical follow-up
In addition to coronary risk factors, data on demographic
and clinical characteristics of the patients,
such as age and gender, were obtained from hospital
files and records. On admission, baseline complete
blood count (CBC), urea, creatinine, glucose,
troponin I, cholesterol profile, B-type natriuretic
peptide (BNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) serum
studies were obtained. Serum studies were repeated
for cardiac enzymes every 6 hours until peak levels
were attained, then repeated daily. CBC studies were
also repeated daily. BNP was measured with the immunoassay
method using ADVIA Centaur BNP assay
kits (Bayer, Tarrytown, New York). The limits of
detection by this method are values between 2 pg/ml
and 5000 pg/ml. CRP was measured by the nephelometric
method (Beckman Coulter, Dublin, Ireland)
with a cut-off value of 8 mg/l and lowest detectable
level of 1 mg/l. Post-procedural left ventricular ejection
fraction (LVEF) and development of mechanical
complications were evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography
(Vivid 3 or 5, GE, Horten, Norway). ST
segment resolution (STR) was evaluated by obtaining
electrocardiography (ECG) on admission, immediately
[prior to intervention], 60 minutes after the
intervention, and then twice daily. All coronary hemodynamic
data were recorded, stored off-line, and
analyzed by two independent investigators. Coronary
lesions were evaluated in at least two non-foreshortened
angiographic views at the end-diastolic phase.
Lesions >50% were identified and labeled as hemodynamically
significant. Pre- and post-procedural thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade
flows, collateral flow (Rentrop), infarct-related artery,
severity of identified lesions, and the number of diseased
vessels were noted.
In-hospital outcomes of all study subjects were obtained
from the hospital record system. The long-term
follow-up data of the patients were obtained during
follow-up visits, or through telephone calls, review of
polyclinic records of the re-hospitalized patients and
archive and computer records. The patients who could
not be reached were investigated via the Statistical
Institute and Birth Registration Office to determine
whether or not mortality occurred.
Apart from the standart procedural success definition,
unsuccessful p-PCI was defined as an inability
to perform p-PCI due to any factor such as advanced
tortuosity, severe calcification or lesion angulation.
Anemia was diagnosed according to World Health
Organization criteria (baseline hemoglobin level <13
g/dl for men and <12 g/dl for women).[3] eGFR was
estimated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease
(MDRD) Study formula.[4] Contrast-induced nephropathy
was defined as either an increase in serum
creatinine greater than 25% or an absolute increase
in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL. Pre-infarction angina
was defined as the presence of chest pain lasting
less than 20 minutes that occurred <48 hours before
the onset of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Collateral
circulation was graded according to Rentrop
classification with grade 2/3 collateral flow being
accepted as well-developed collateral flow.[5] Multivessel
disease was diagnosed in the presence of >50%
diameter stenosis in two or more major epicardial arteries.
The complete STR was defined as ≥70% STR
at 60-minutes by post-procedural ECG.[6] Myocardial
blush grade (MBG) was evaluated according to established
standart methods.[7] Major hemorrhage was
diagnosed, in accordance to TIMI bleeding classification,
by the presence of more than 5 g/dl decrease
in hemoglobin, >15% decrease in hematocrit level, or
the presence of intracranial bleeding.[8] Myocardial
re-infarction was diagnosed in the presence of either
1) new, pathologic Q waves or 2) a new ST segment
elevation lasting for at least 30 minutes together with
at least a two-fold increase in creatine kinase (CK)
level or more than 50% increase in CK levels for a
patient whose cardiac enzymes were already elevated. Revascularization was defined as repeated p-PCI or
CABG for not only IRA but also other vessels (including
re-stenosis, de-novo lesion and re-infarction).
Statistical analysis
Continuous variables are expressed as median (interquartile
range) while categorical variables are expressed
as numbers and percentages. The difference
between categorical variables was analyzed either by
chi-square or Fisher's exact test, while the difference
between the continous variables was analyzed using
the Mann-Whitney U-test. Survival rates of both
groups were tested by the life-table method, whereas
the difference between the survival curves was analyzed
by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The Cox proportional
hazard model was applied for the prediction
of mortality. All variables showing significance values
p<0.05 (age, gender, diabetes, hypertension, smoking
status, pre-infarction angina, reperfusion time, history
of CABG, previous p-PCI, previous stroke, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, cognitive disorder,
peripheral artery disease, cardiogenic shock, baseline
CRP, BNP, glucose, baseline anemia, eGFR <60 ml/
min/1.73m², LVEF, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride,
STR, multi-vessel disease, right coronary artery
(RCA) infarct, rentrop 2/3, final TIMI flow, MBG,
major hemorrhage, blood transfusion required, intraaortic
balloon pump (IABP) use and alterations in the
treatment) were included in the model. In order to
show the effect of a 10-year increase in age over mortality,
age was added to the model separately. This was
done both as a dichotomized and continous variable,
and the model was repeated. In all statistical analyses,
two tailed p values of less than 0.05 were considered
to indicate statistical significance. The study's
findings were statistically analyzed using SPSS 11.5
(SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA).
One-hundred and seventy-nine (8.1%) of the 2213
patients were aged ≥80 years (median age 82, 93 female).
P-PCI was unsuccessful in 13 patients (6.8%)
aged ≥80 years and 14 patients (0.6%) aged <80 years,
p<0.001. Female gender, diabetes, hypertension, renal
failure, anemia, presentation with cardiogenic shock,
cognitive dysfunction, peripheral artery disease, and
inferior myocardial infarction were significantly more
common in the patients aged ≥80 years. Although there was no significant difference between the two
groups with regard to the average door-to-balloon
time, pain-to-door times were significantly higher
in the patients aged ≥80 years (median [IQR] 140
[80-230] vs. 190 [100-290], p<0.001). Additionally,
several baseline laboratory parameters, such as BNP,
CRP, and glucose levels, were significantly higher in
the patients aged ≥80 years (Table 1).
While multi-vessel disease and the culprit right
coronary artery occlusion were significantly more
common in the patients aged ≥80 years, pre-procedural
use of tirofiban was less frequent in this patient group.
The rate of well-developed collateral circulation on
the baseline angiography was also significantly lower
in patients aged ≥80 years (6.7% vs. 12%, p=0.035).
The preprocedural TIMI flow grades were similar in
both age groups. Post-procedural TIMI grade 3 flow
rate was less common in the patients aged ≥80 years.
The frequency of complete STR (47.8% vs. 62.3%,
p=0.003), MBG 3 (27.0% vs. 45.2%, p<0.001) and
acute LVEF (median [IQR] 44 [35-52] vs. 48 [42-55],
% p<0.001) was significantly lower in the patients
aged ≥80 years. The use of in-hospital tirofiban, statin,
and β blocker therapy was significantly less common
while diuretic treatment was more frequent in the elderly
patient population. Duration of hospitalization
was also higher in the age ≥80 group (median [IQR] 5
[4-8] vs. 4 [3-6] days, p<0.001) (Table 2).
In-hospital events
Among patients ≥80 years of age, rates of in-hospital
mortality (14.5% vs. 3.5%, p<0.001), heart failure
(20.7% vs. 10.5%, p<0.001), major hemorrhage
(9.5% vs. 3.3%, p<0.001), mechanical complication
(3.4% vs. 0.7%, p=0.005), contrast induced nephropathy
(31.8% vs. 12.2%, p<0.001), requirement of blood
transfusion, and arrhythmic complications (ventricular
tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, high-degree AV
block) were significantly higher. While the rate of
stroke events was 3.4-fold higher in the patients aged
≥80 years, this difference was not statistically significant
(Table 3).
Long-term events
Despite all efforts, 68 patients could not be reached
for outcome follow-up and were excluded from the
study (9 [5%] patients aged ≥80 years, 59 [2.9%] patients
aged <80 years p=0.315). While 1-year mortality
(29.7% vs. 7.0%, p<0.001) and stroke (4.1% vs.0.7%, p=0.006) were significantly more common
in the patients aged ≥80 years, there was no difference
between the two age groups with respect to the
rates of re-infarction or total revascularization. With
long-term follow-up (median 42 months, IQR 37-51
month), all cause mortality (40% vs. 9.7%, p<0.001)
and stroke (5.6% vs. 1.1%, p=0.003) rates were found
to be significantly more common in the patients aged ≥80 years. Long-term cardiac mortality was also
3-fold higher, while non-cardiac mortality was approximately
7-fold higher, in the patients aged ≥80
years. There was no significant difference observed
between the two age groups with regard to the total
revascularization and re-infarction rates (Table 3).
Life table analysis revealed a significant difference
between the long-term survival curves of the two age
groups (Wilcoxon signed-rank, p<0.001, Figure 2).
Predictors of long-term mortality
When the Cox proportional hazard model was used,
with multivariate correction relative to the baseline
values, age ≥80 years was determined to be an independent
predictor for long-term mortality (Hazard
ratio [HR] 2.17, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.23-
4.17, p=0.02). By repeating the model with age as
a continous variable, increasing age was also found
to be independently predicting mortality and HR for
every 10-years of age was calculated (HR 1.40, 95%
CI 1.17-1.63, p<0.001). Other independent predictors for long-term mortality identified by this study
were female gender, baseline anemia, major hemorrhage,
eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m², incomplete STR,
post-procedural LVEF <40%, and baseline BNP level
(Table 4).
This retrospective study illustrated that, despite a
slight improvement in early outcomes, the clinical
benefit of p-PCI on long-term patient outcomes is
limited in elderly patient populations when compared
to younger individuals. However, total revascularization
and re-infarction rates between age groups were
not significantly different. In addition to advanced
age, female gender, baseline anemia, major hemorrhage,
renal failure, incomplete STR, post-procedural
left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and baseline
BNP level were found to independently predict longterm
mortality in elderly patients.
Mechanical reperfusion interventions have significantly
reduced the rate of mortality for patients with
STEMI when compared with FL therapy.[1,8] Patients
aged ≥80 years represent an increasing proportion of
STEMI victims, with early mortality rates as high as
30%.[9] However, there is a paucity of research directly
comparing FL and p-PCI interventions in elderly patient
populations. The SENIOR-PAMI study reported
that p-PCI was superior to FL therapy among patients
aged ≥70 years; however, the same findings were not
observed in patients aged >80 years.[8] de Boer et al.[10]
published a meta-analysis reporting lower mortality
rates, even in very old individuals, for those treated by p-PCI as compared to those receiving FL therapy.
Moreover, it was noted that advanced age should not
be among the exclusion criteria for p-PCI. Nonetheless,
an additional study found no difference between
the p-PCI and FL with respect to long-term outcomes
in patients aged ≥75.[11] It has been previously reported
that p-PCI reduced the in-hospital mortality rate
from 29% to 16% in patients aged ≥80 years. The
5-year mortality rate in the p-PCI group was 45% in
this same study.[12] The TRIANA study showed that
despite similar 30-day and 1-year mortality rates between
FL and p-PCI groups, recurrent ischemia was
less frequent in those treated by p-PCI among STEMI
patients aged ≥75 years.[13] In our study, among patients
aged ≥80 years, in-hospital mortality rate was
14.5% while 30-day and long-term mortalities were
20% and 40%, respectively. Although there is an improvement
in the early outcomes, long-term mortality
is still very high in this patient group. For every 10
years of age, a 1.4-fold increase in the long-term mortality
rate was observed.
In our study, age ≥80 years was found to be an
independent predictor of long-term mortality. The
higher incidence of comorbidities and the more severe
presentation in this age group may be responsible
for this association. Further, it may be associated
with lower incidence of pre-infarction angina in
the octogenarians. Ischemic pre-conditioning is also
known to be associated with smaller infarction areas
and reduced mortality.[14,15] Abete et al.[16] showed that
advanced age was associated with loss of pre-conditioning.
Late presentation to the hospital and prolonged
reperfusion time may be another contributing factor to increased mortality. This delay could be due
to alterations in pain perception and higher rates of silent
ischemia at advanced ages.[17] In accordance with
previous reports, collateral flow was less developed in
these elderly patients and this is known to be associated
with poorer prognosis.[18] Moreover, the higher
incidence of multi-vessel disease, angiographic noreflow
phenomenon, clinical heart failure, mechanical
and arrhythmic complications, contrast induced
nephropathy, worse STR, and lower LVEF may all
have contributed to increased mortality in these elderly
Despite its association with lower rates of intracerebral
hemorrhage, as compared to the FL therapy,
p-PCI is also known to be associated with noncerebral
major hemorrhages.[19] In our study, despite
less aggressive anti-aggregant therapy, non-cerebral
major hemorrhages were 2.8-fold more common in
the patients aged ≥80 years. These incidences were
generally in the form of access site and gastrointestinal
hemorrhages. Thus, transfusion of blood products
was significantly more common in this elderly
patient group. While the total in-hospital stroke rates
were not statistically different between age groups,
1-year and long-term rates were significantly higher
in the aged ≥80 years group. Major hemorrhage[20] and
transfusion of blood products[21] are known to be associated
with poor prognosis in the course of acute
STEMI. We also found that major hemorrhage was
an independent predictor of long-term mortality in the
patients aged ≥80 years.
There were several limitations of our study. Despite
a large total volume of enrolled patients, the
number of patients aged ≥80 years was relatively limited.
The study was also conducted retrospectivally
and at a single medical center. The most important
limitations of retrospective studies are the reliability
of data and researcher bias. In order to mitigate researcher
bias, the study data, including the long-term
results, were acquired by different investigators.
Age has been found to be an independent predictor
for mortality after p-PCI. Although it appears to improve
early outcomes, the efficacy of p-PCI on longterm
clinical outcomes is limited in patients aged ≥80
years. Future prospective and retrospective studies
including elderly patients with STEMI are needed in
order to compare the effectiveness and safety of p-
PCI among this patient population.

I think you're saying monday out of speculation. If and when the market is going to go down is just about anyone's guess. Personally, I would like to see the market go down, it would be healthy, but in reality I don't think it will. I think we won't see any kind of major pull back til around 13,800 to 14,000, because it's being pumped by outside money, and companies have reported better than expected earnings. The dow going to this level has everyone thinking of the nasdaq when it was around 5000+, now the investor thinks a major correction is under way, thinking the past is going to repeat itself and that's the biggest mistake the average investor makes. Just when you think things are going to go in one way, they go the opposite way.

Under the headline, "Big science zooms in on a new cure for baldness" – which was about male-pattern baldness, the Los Angeles Times Health blog published a local TV station's video segment about a "Go Bald shave-a-thon" fundraiser with a little boy who had neuroblastoma.
Did someone actually think the two totally unrelated types of baldness were related? Male-pattern baldness in adult males versus kids with cancer who "go bald" as a result of treatment?
Or was this an auto-generated layout – with the website grabbing anything that had baldness as a key word and posting the stories on the same page?
In either case, a fix is in order.
If it's the former reason, someone needs some education.
If it's the latter reason, if this is the way your website is populated, you have a problem that needs correction.
Here's a screenshot of the webpage.
ADDENDUM on 3/23: The video has now been removed from the LA Times Health blog story and replaced with a photo of Jason Alexander, actor, who, the caption says, "like many men, has a bald pate."
ADDENDUM later in day on 3/22:
Back on the male-pattern baldness story – breathless headlines abound.
TIME gushes: "Study Finds Patter in Male Baldness: Could There Be a Cure?"
But here's what the story reported: "researchers have identified a protein that appears to play a role in male pattern baldness."
Proteins that appear to play a role CURE. Others need to get the message:
Is curing male-pattern baldness important to you? – CBC.ca
New Cause For Male Pattern Baldness Discovered: Is Cure Next? (CBS News)
Cure for baldness in 'could be on sale within five years' – Daily Mail
Baldness Cure May Be on Horizon – MedPage Today
Possible baldness cure on horizon – Fox TV
Researchers closer to finding baldness cure – ABC7Chicago.com
An Effective Cure for Baldness May Soon Be On the Market – Medical Daily
Breakthrough Male Baldness Cure Could Be On Sale Within Five Years – Huffington Post
And NBC News put Cure in its onscreen graphic, referred to a "baldness cure" with the tired old "Holy Grail of medicine" line, and said a cream or medicine could be available "as soon as 5 years." The height (or depth) of hyperbole.

Doubly offensive. Even without the the juxtaposition with shave-a-thon, the whole "cure for baldness" is offensive. Bald guy and proud member of the "no rugs, no drugs, no plugs" club.

Thanks at both of you for liking the chapter! ^^
@CPF You're quite right, this chapter was mostly there to explain some things, some background information that needed to be given before the real actions starts. Don't worry, the action will start...I know because I'm still at writing the final battle...(in chapter 7, btw)
@delongbi No, you were not an unobservant reader (rather the opposite, heh ^.~). Cynthia being psychic was hinted last chapter with the attack on Lucian and was revealed this chapter by Lucian. And, for credit, it was CPF's original idea which I took over for my fic. =3

- - South America Mister of MTF Poll - check in and check your additional title :) (http://www.menstennisforums.com/3-non-tennis/107427-south-america-mister-mtf-poll-check-check-your-additional-title.html)
South America Mister of MTF Poll - check in and check your additional title :)
1. Introduction: There are 5 competition heats to point two most handsome /sexy /cute /lovely /charming /intelligent guys that advance into the final. The heats are: Europe, North America and Carribean, Argentina (this one was played earlier and FiBeR and GlennMirnyi came through), South America, MISC. The last category is for the other guys that wanted to compete.
2. Voting rules: This is a multiple choice poll BUT EVERYBODY IS ALLOWED ONLY TO GIVE 1 OR 2 VOTES. If we see more votes coming from one person, we must void all of them. Due to technical reasons, they'll be still displayed, but won't count.
Yes, you must give two votes at once, no possibility of adding one later.
The only votes that count in the contest, come from people who have over 100 posts (= 101 :) ). This is for the good of competitors, so they aren't accused of keeping double-accounts. Based on life-experience, we decided to treat posters who have more than 100 posts as normal community members, because not everybody's life consists from posting on MTF and posting on MTF (such as mine for example, and I needed over 2 years to reach 300 posts, despite being regularly lurking).
3. Discipline during the contest: National voting, friend voting, helping in bio writing, campaigning for votes is ALLOWED. If somebody accuses competitors of duplicate accounts despite of no rule being violated, the post will be deleted. Any thoughts on lack of contest cleanness should be PMed to me, and if I can't handle with it myself, I will forward it to one of the site admins. Also, if any of participants feel harassed, sending me a PM and describing a problem would be the best solution. The fights between competitors and competitors against board members that guys AGREE ON, will be tolerated.

Oscar (fenomeno2111)
Nationality: Venezuelan
Residence: USA
Height: 180 cm (5'11")
Age: 18
My name is Oscar and I absolutely love long walks on the beach and opening presents on christmas day. Oh wait, that's not it. On a more serious note, I was born in Venezuela but moved to the US a few years ago. I'm currently a freshman in college and I pretty much love it; I'm trying to get into J-school and hopefully in a year and a half I'll get in. As far as my hobbies I enjoy playing/watching soccer and tennis, reading, traveling, snowboarding, dancing, partying, waching movies, wakeboarding, and engaging in long conversations. My favorite soccer team are Real Madrid and CA Huracan from Argentina. My favorite tennis players are Nadal, Canas, Coria, Nalbandian and Roddick. I have a hard time picking my top movies but this time I'll say Trainspotting, A Clockwork Orange and The Sea Inside. I also like to play the guitar and listen to bands like Pink Floyd, Sublime, Phish, 311, The Doors, Primus and such, however, when I go out partying I tend to get crunk and prefer more of the underground sounds (hip-hop, dirty south sh*t, reggaeton, techno, salsa...you name it). Ok, so that was a little bit about myself so now YOU should give me some votes. Thanks!....Ohh and also: World Peace!

Hi! My name is Francisco, I'm 19 y.o and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. My height and weight are 183cm and 72kg. I'm studying Politics Science and Journalism. I'm currently working at a Marketing Company and as a football matches comentator for a local radio.
One of my biggest hobbies is play and learn the piano, specially Jazz (my favs.: Evans, Ellington and Jarret), and I love doing some "Jam" Sessions with friends and play all Beatles songs, wich are my favorite band and I'm willing to take part in the yearly Beatles contest. I also consider Freddy Mercury one of the best musicians ever.
I don't have a particular favorite tennis player, but I support all argies and those that have a nice(Federer)/weird(Santoro)/classic(Henman) tennis style.
But, what I really love to do is traveling and meeting people from all around the world as a backpacker, and I think I prefer the mountains over the beach (anyway, who can dislike the beach!!!)
Re: SOUTH AMERICA POLL, please DON'T VOTE before I allow you :)
You're a now seeing the prefect example of mixture of a lot of roots.
My name is Claudio, I'm 18 years old, I'm 1.74 and I weight 64 kg :lol:, but I eat quite a lot, so that's rathly strange, but I like to dance a lot. I was born in the city of Erlangen in Germany, and now I'm living in Chile for a couple of years. I have German, Chilean, Norwegian, Czech, Italian and Irish roots. I speak Spanish, English, a bit of German and Portuguese. I like to listen to electronic music in my days off, and obviously and dance it. I like to go to parties and dance in the center stage, specially when there are girls in it. I don't smoke but my first smoke was when I was 11 years old :o I'm also a close friend of Pisco and Vodka, I'm fan of Dani Hantuchova's legs, "Pelo lais" (Girls with long and straight hair :inlove:), history, politics, geography, languages and specially Travels.
I preffer action and horror movies, but from time to time I always watched some really drama movies to squeeze my heart release some tears. :sad:
I like to get in touch with my feelings, I consider myself to be a sensitive person.
Ok, that's all I can say about me Bye :wavey:
Re: SOUTH AMERICA POLL, please DON'T VOTE before I allow you :)
Name: Eduardo
Age: 20
Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Favorite players: Nalbandian, Safin, Ferrero, Moya, Luczak, Del Potro
When I'm not busy working at a law firm, I enjoy watching old movies, especially James Bond movies. And Humphrey Bogart. Actually, watching one of the movies, made me being not fond of dentists at all. I'm not so much fascinated in law and people who are involved with it, and study Politics Science instead. I also travel a lot, at this moment I'm in Poland, and I've visited over 35 countries. I also spend free time playing poker with friends and enjoy watching other sports like golf and football. Out of football clubs I love Palermo, my grandfather was from Sicily. Whenever one of my least favourite players lose (including Federer and Nadal), I drink a bottle of champagne.
Re: SOUTH AMERICA POLL, please DON'T VOTE before I allow you :)
Hi, my name is Caio and I'm a 17-year old Brazilian. Well, I'm in the last year of high school and i'm also a swimmer. Basically my routine is practicing swimming every day in 2 periods (one before school and the other at evening, including body building) and studying at morning. Then, I use to cheer for Brazilian players and spent a bit time in MTF. :p My hobby is swimming at the sea, it clears my mind and I don't in anything, so i fell very good. As i said before, this is my last year in high school, so in 1 or 2 years I want to enter an University. Previously i was in doubt in which career to choose, between Journalism and Pshysical Education (I don't know how do other countries call this subject). Now I've chosen the second one, because i want to become a swimming coach in the future and work with social projects involving sports. I use to read books relationed to sports, and my favourite movies are "Hardball" with Keanu Reeves and "Men of Honour" with Cuba Gooding Jr. I like going out with my friends, but i'm not a big fan of nightclubs.
Well, I think that's it. I hope you girls enjoyed me and I have your vote in this contest!
Re: SOUTH AMERICA POLL, please DON'T VOTE before I allow you :)
Well, my name is Gustavo, and my nick is this weird because it´s the name of a smashing pumpkins song. i´m 25 years old, journalist and work on brazil´s biggest tennis website (but i´m fed up and hate my job. any offers, for the love of god, PM me). my fave player, of course, is the king, stud, porn star and charity man, oscar hernandez. gotta love the agressive and sheer power.
my favorite movie is "groundhog day". if you havent seen yet, go. now! seriously. it´ll change your life. then, watch "old school". and there. you´re a better person. music wise, my taste is very bizarre. i like alternative bands. right now, my favorite is wilco. but like really sad songs, like a band called "low", and really loud ones, like "nine inch nails". and i´m a mp3 nerd.
and i´m letting my fellow brazilians speak about me:

Re: SOUTH AMERICA POLL, please DON'T VOTE before I allow you :)
I'm Eduardo, 28, from Brazil. I graduated in Geography and Geology, used to work with groundwater pollution, mining, reforestation and education, currently I'm doing research for my MSc degree. I like arts, politics and sports. About arts, I like listening to music (rock, punk, blues, jazz, classical, Brazilian popular msic), watching movies, going to the theatre and sometimes to art galleries. I like reading newspapers everyday but I'm a bit lazy to read some books off-earth sciences :o . I love to play tennis, and I also like playing football, volleyball, basketball, swimming and follow athletics, canoeing and modern pentathlon. As a freak naturalist :p , I like to travel to places with beautiful natural features, to do trekking, caving, rafting, swimming at rivers or beaches and meet new people. I like to spend time with friends and family, drinking, cooking and eating, talking, playing with my protegé, playing cards and music, watching football matches of my team, Palmeiras, etc. :)

Scammers use Japanese earthquake for charity donation fraud
Scammers are using the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan to appeal for fraudulent charity donations, a security firm has warned.
This Article Covers
Scammers are using the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan to appeal for fraudulent charity donations, a security firm has warned.
Security firm, Symantec, warns of 419-style fraud scams as well as malicious .zip files and nefarious attackers sending malicious Java scripts attached to fake charity donation appeals.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.
In a blog post, Samir Patil, security researcher at Symantec, adds: "Symantec researchers observed more than 50 domains with the names of either 'Japan tsunami' or 'Japan earthquake'. These domains are either parked, available for sale, or are linked to earthquake sites. Don't be surprised if you see these domains being used in phishing and spam attacks."
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also warns of online charity scams appealing for donations via emails, websites and social networks.
The FTC agency advises to check what percentage of a donation will support the cause, verify the charity's credentials, avoid providing credit card or bank information until all the charity's information has been considered, avoid cash gifts and ask for a receipt.
The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) previously warned of "potential e-mail scams, fake antivirus and phishing attacks regarding the Japan earthquake and the tsunami disasters".
"E-mail scams may contain links or attachments which may direct users to phishing or malware-laden websites," said US-CERT in a statement.
Analysts have warned the earthquake in northern Japan last week could damage the semiconductor industry and chip supply chain.

I could not have been happier with this apartment! I've been doing a LOT of travel to DC lately, and it was SO NICE having a homelike atmosphere to come back to in the evenings. Very pleasant, well-lit studio with a REAL kitchen (real stove, microwave, full-size fridge!). Lovely bathroom with big soaking tub. Ample closet space/shelving. Very convenient to Metro. Many small and thoughtful details. Truly a pleasure to stay there!

Description of Research
Summary Statement of Research Interests
|My research interests are focused on the ancient Maya civilization of southern Mexico and Central America. I run an archaeological dig at the site of El Zotz, Guatemala where I am trying to determine how a relatively small Maya city-state fit into a complex geopolitical situation during the Classic Period (AD 300-900). Part of this research involves the excavation of a series of elaborately decorated early structures at the site that pertain to the time of the first rulers. Rather than treating these buildings individually, I consider the artistic program in terms of an urban landscape that was carefully planned and charged with meaning that reinforced the dynasty's right to rule. My other major research interest involves the application of digital spatial technologies in archaeology. I have been involved in developing the use of high resolution multispectral satellite imagery and radar elevation data to discover archaeological sites in dense sub-tropical forest environments. I continue to form partnerships with scholars in the fields of spatial sciences and remote sensing with the goal of finding new technologies to reduce the time and cost of conducting jungle survey.

"Keeweechic's Palestine, TX" Top 5 Page for this destination Palestine by keeweechic
Palestine Travel Guide: 83 reviews and 120 photos
Palestine lies in Anderson County and is the county seat. The town was named after Daniel Parkers earlier home in Palestine, Illinois. In 1856 a brick courthouse was built. In time, small businesses were established around the square which were served by paddle-wheel steamers. During high water periods, the vessels used the Trinity River to Magnolia, the port for Palestine. In 1872 the International-Great Northern Railroad arrived and soon put an end to the local river trading. The railroad provided year round travel to the east, Houston and Laredo and rapidly changed the centre of the town when they constructed shops, switching yards, and offices nearly a mile to the west of the courthouse. To link the two areas a horse-drawn streetcar line was but that proved to be too costly, and the single car was sold to then developing city of Dallas. By the 1890s Palestine had a population of around 6,000. There were several schools, mills and gins, a fire department, two private banks, several churches including two reserved for African Americans. By 1914 the population had increased to 11,000.
In 1928 oil was discovered at Boggy Creek, just east of Palestine. This helped to expand Palestine's economy and also carry the town through the Great Depression. When several producing fields were found later in Anderson County, Palestine became a centre for oil-well overhauling and supplies.
In 1990 Palestine had 400 recorded businesses which included gas and oil producers, well services, a beef packing plant, the railroad and other small businesses. here were also four state prisons in the county. Palestine is also the site of the National Scientific Balloon Flight Facility which is an operation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Palestine has an abundance of historical building and homes, over 1800 in all and second only to Galveston. Davey Dogwood Park is alive with colour in Spring with the flowering of the Dogwoods.
Other attractions around Palestine are the Engeling Wildlife Management Area which is in the northern part of the county. Lake Palestine, is a reservoir of 25,500 surface acres on the Neches River which provides the county with water.

Covering approximately 1.2 square miles, Tangier Island is actually a series of small islands connected by narrow wooden bridges spanning marshes and tidal creeks. Tangier is a charming community of waterman and shop owners. Many inhabitants make their living, as did their ancestors for more than 400 years, by crabbing, fishing, and oystering. Each day we will rise before dawn, hoping to capture sunrise images and photos of the waterman as they man their skiffs and works boats, heading out to their offshore crab shanties to gather up their crab pots, scrapes, floats, and other gear for the day. During our stay, we will also explore the beach, tidal creeks, and wetlands in search of wildlife. Ducks, geese, herons, rails, shorebirds, skimmers, terns, and pelicans take advantage of the rich food supply that the island and its surroundings afford. There is also a healthy population of ospreys locally so it is not uncommon to seen one fly overhead with a fish in its talons. Includes orientation, photo sessions, boat trip, and critiques of participant images.

There Is No Magic Fundraising Button
While technology has opened all sorts of new possibilities for fundraisers, there is no technological cure-all for the fundraising sector, no matter what anyone may attempt to lead you to believe. Fundraising still takes work — and hard work at that.
That was the message Katya Andresen, chief operating officer and chief strategy officer at Network for Good and member of the FundRaising Success Editorial Advisory Board, relayed in her opening keynote at the Direct Marketing Association Nonprofit Federation's Washington Nonprofit Conference.
Andresen began her keynote with a story of a client who informed her during a discussion that the donate button on his organization's site was broken. She apologized and said she'd make sure it was fixed and worked. He replied, "You don't understand, people can click it. It's just that no one is. It's broken."
"He was looking for a magic donate button," she said. "The technology doesn't do the work for us. Nothing will change philanthropy unless we do the work to be a part of it."
It was a brilliant, engaging speech Andresen shared with a packed ballroom, and her point was well-taken. There is no magic button, no technological magic bullet that will suddenly make donors appear and give.
"How technology will transform or not transform our work is in your hands," she said. "You are in a position to determine how your organization will engage constituents."
Here are a couple key points Andresen hit on:
- "The content is more important than the technology."
- "Peer-to-peer communication has trumped our own communication completely."
- "Embrace and use the 'lowered bar' of 'slactivists' [people who engage online but don't necessarily donate]. They are more likely to ask other people to make donations. They are more likely to volunteer. They are more likely to get out there and spread the word for you, and they want a relationship with you."
- "Invite donors to shape you and your cause."
- "Your whole strategy has to work on mobile."
- "At the end of the day, technology doesn't inspire people. You inspire people."

You'd think people that go to school in Florida would be classier
"And with every other words spelled wrong". Jesus.
That OTL "report" chose 10 schools to compare and 3 didn't even give full access.
So that headline should read "Most crime suspects from school we chose to compare while leaving out schools like Ohio State because they make us money now."
Illiterate, classless and completely wrong use of the word entrapment. They're definitely from Florida.

That night, Butch & Quinn took the airwaves by storm to give you the longest commentary they've ever done; and for good reason. Listen to their thoughts of the album, its effect on the rap industry, and how Kendrick just might be the best (un)conscious rapper alive.
