World Voice Day is this week. It's an opportunity for everyone to assess their vocal health because our voices are so vital to our everyday lives.
Doctors say a good way to tell if that tickle is something more serious is by how long the problem lasts.
"Most of the time when people have a voice problem or hoarseness it usually gets better with rest and it usually returns to a normal baseline within a pretty short period of time," Dr. Paul Bryson said.
If your voice gets weaker as the week wears on, you may want to see a doctor. Or if you're hoarse for more than a week or two, doctors said it may be a sign of a bigger problem. If you find yourself clearing your throat often, you may want to see your doctor because it could be a reflux issue or allergies.
Voice problems that cause pain or trouble swallowing should be evaluated right away, but the good news is most voice issues are easily treatable.
"Fortunately, most of the things that affect the voice tend to be benign or non-cancerous and tend to be related to possible voice overuse, sinus and allergy, or just inadequate rest or inadequate hydration," Dr. Bryson said.
If you're getting enough sleep and staying hydrated and your voice is still hoarse, you should get it checked out.

Salvation Army Donations Up: "No Cutbacks"
The 2010 Christmas season broke a local tradition. For the first time in 29 years no one dropped a one-ounce goldpiece in a McHenry County Salvation Army kettle but Price said the group managed to top its fundraising goal for the season, anyway. The bar was set at $400,000, a 6 percent increase over 2009 and Price reported local donations totaled $400,576. Probably more, since that doesn't include online giving and cellphone text donations yet to be calculated. "This was the first year we had texting," Price said.
Donations to Army kettles actually fell about four percent but mail donations more than made up the difference rising more than 25 percent. And even though none of the kettles revealed a one-ounce gold coin, Price said donors dropped in two smaller ones and a silverpiece as well.
"We are thoroughly humbled by the tremendous giving of the people of McHenry County," said Price. "we take this trust very seriously, to care for those in need as best we can.
In the pic: Kettle donations were down for the 2010 holiday season but total donations to the McHenry County Salvation Army increased.

HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) - Former Oregon Ducks cornerback Cliff Harris has entered a not guilty plea in connection with alleged domestic harassment.
Harris, an All-American in 2010, was arrested Friday night after he was seen fighting with his girlfriend outside a restaurant. He was released after posting bail on Saturday, but then he was pulled over on his way to his Tuesday court hearing and cited for reckless driving and not having a license.
Harris was let go by the New York Jets last week after he was arrested for alleged marijuana possession. He had signed a reserve-future contract with the Jets in January.

On March 13th and 15th YoloArts held its second 2014 Art Ag Project outing in Knights Landing, CA at the El Dorado Ranch. As attendees traveled down CA-45 (4th St.) the newly budding crops were bounded by lands yet to reveal their growth or left barren due to severe drought conditions. Upon arriving at the Faye lands that were acquired in 1917 and was once home to acres of pear and plum, Art & Ag enthusiasts were welcomed onto over 50 acres of riparian habitat now producing safflower, wheat and rice.
Artists with oil and watercolor paints and pencils set up stations as they found their ideal spots around the property populated with an old cook house, bunkhouse, ice house and butcher shop making for some ideal subjects. Large oak trees and an extensive collection of old farm and ranch equipment became a delight for photographers and painters. Plein air artists hauled out their chairs, easels and hats while photographers strolled here and there and all around the fascinating treasure trove of structures, tools, equipment and land.
The Saturday outing started out at a cool 8:00 a.m. and slowly warmed through the afternoon. The fields stretched out into a vista of flat land with low rows of crop that would perhaps be more visually spectacular in later months but were remarked upon as lovely and serene in its expanse. The old wood buildings surrounded by grasses and trees caught the eye of many. Rows of old trucks, cars and tractors were also an obvious delight. Implements hanging on walls or stacked around the ranch included horseshoes, forging tools, wagon wheels, milk cans and kitchen gadgets. Old chairs, window frames, unnamed parts and pieces also seduced those toting cameras. It was a feast for the mind and the eyes.
A number of unique sculptures made from Marc's collection of drills stood at the entrance of the Marc and Gerda Faye property now managed by son Eric. The drill pieces are erected like metal flowers reaching toward the sky in a salute to the historic assemblage of artifacts found within the El Dorado Ranch grounds. Art & Ag attendees included first time visitors, experienced plein air artists, professionals and hobbyists in various mediums. A slight breeze wisped in and out but was far calmer than the February wind that chilled many artists.
The YoloArts Art & Ag Project outings will continue through November with a variety of locations on the agenda including a chicken farm, horse ranch and crop farms. Each destination proves to be a delight and is graciously opened to the artist community in a cooperative "dialogue between artists, farmers, and the community to raise awareness of the importance of preserving farmlands and the visual arts in Yolo County." More information about YoloArts and the Art & Ag Project can be found at the official YoloArts website here. Coverage on the Feb. 2014 outing to E & J Farms with almond orchards can be found here. See you at the next Yolo County Art & Ag outing!

This was our first time in Fresno. We usually stay at Name Brand 4-5 star hotels. They were all further then expected from our place of recreation for this trip. We choose this hotel off the net hoping it was as we were used to. It exceeded our expectations! Nice staff, Great continental Breakfast, beautiful atmosphere, and clean pool and Spa. It was very quiet. All this plus a beautiful clean suite!
Loved this place!!

My wife and I stayed one night on our way to Yosemite from Riverside, CA. We wanted to visit the underground gardens in Fresno which were across the street from this hotel. Our stay was excellent! We arrived very late due to extreme traffic encountered near Los Angeles and road construction on Hwy 99, but the owners were there awaiting our late arrival. The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast with fresh made waffles, sausage, eggs, delicious fruit that was freshly picked from trees grown on-site, and good coffee. The owners were very nice and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and our visit to the underground gardens accross the street. Highly Recommended as a good place to stay.
Best stay EVER
Susan Page from California
Visited: 04-2013
Husband and I chose this wonderful place because it was next to Forestiere Gardens and because it was so highly rated by travelers on the internet. After 40+ years of travel, we never plan on a good night's sleep when we stay in motels, even hotels, as noise is ALWAYS the issue. Even tho' this lovely inn is right next to a busy street, once you close the door...QUIET...no room-to-room noise. The grounds had us out and about several times to take in the beauty of spectacular roses, Clivia, azaleas and a variety of lush citrus....tangerines inviting you to sample. Tangerine juice fresh squeezed, Made just for you Belgian waffle, sausage, hard boiled eggs kept warm, bagels and muffins we put a smile on our faces, believe me....I plan to post their brochure on Facebook for the world to know about!! Lovely pool area, and everything so-o-o clean!! We'll come have to come up with a reason to return for sure!!
Wow, Nice!!

+ ˇ§We stayed at Garden Inn & Suites on 8/18/2012 as our last stop on a Northern California sightseeing trip. From the outside Garden Inn & Suites isnˇ¦t anything magical, but magic happens when you walk deeper into the hotel. While many other hotels have ˇ§gardenˇ¨ in their names, Garden Inn & Suites is quite literally a garden. Here the plants outnumber the roof tiles. Everywhere you go, turn, walk, run, hop, skip or twirl are some type of spectacular tropical plants with fruits hanging like Christmas ornaments. Not only that, but also the hotel is manned by the family owners who go above and beyond to help, including serving the fresh fruits from their garden, making us waffles and lending us their vacuum to clean out our back-from-Yosemite rental car. In addition, the rooms were very clean, comfortable and spacious. We had a suite with full size living room and kitchen. Overall, this hotel was quite a destination, not just a place to recharge for the next California sightseeing stop. We were completely blown away and wish we had a few more days to relax there before flying back to Pennsylvania. I would give 10 out of 5 if I could. ˇ¨
Wonderful owners, very clean, and beautiful gardens.

We found this inn online, and what good fortune that was. The room was very clean with comfortable beds, and they provided a great breakfast. The owners were so nice and showed us all around the grounds. The plants and trees were to die for. We would highly recommend The Garden Inn & Suites.

Coming from cold rain drenched Seattle, this was a delightful experience. The roses and fruit trees outside of door was a pleasent surprise. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful. We so enjoyed the breakfast with the fresh waffles and amazing fruit from the grounds. We enjoyed the management and his passion for growing things. We will definately stay here again.

Thank you so much for making our weekend vacation enjoyable in a nice,safe restful clean environment. After breakfast and the tour of the grdens we learned the history of the couple who built the inn with heart and soul. We are making this inn part of our annual tradition. Totally love the place!
Fresno's Best Bet
Sherry & John Witte from Phoenix, Az.
Visited: 10-2010
What a delight it was for us to find this well appointed hotel. My husband and I were staying in Fresno as a jump off point for Yosemite. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The complimentary breakfast was plentiful and delicious - especially the waffles!
If all of that isn't enough, the owners were so gracious and friendly that we felt like we were staying with friends and not just checking into an anonymous hotel. They have done an amazing amount of work on the grounds surrounding the rooms with every shade of rose bush that exists and many exotic plants and trees, including passion fruit, jujube trees, guava and pomegranate. It felt more like a tropical paradise than a hotel one might expect to stay at in Fresno.
Forget your thoughts of what Fresno is like as well as it is a delightful city with plenty to see and do - whether you want to hike or fish, do a little shopping or go out for an evening on the town.
When you visit Fresno, this is the place to stay, hands down!
Very Nice Hotel
A traveler from Woodside, CA

We were here for a brief stay and found it to be quite pretty with lovely landscaping; nice, clean rooms; and quiet and restful. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely come back and will recommend it to others who may be in the Fresno area.
It's a one of a kind place to stay

Unique and amazing property
Tom Bayh from Portland, Oregon

The Garden Inn and Suites is a rare jewel in hotel accommodations. In over forty years of travel to all parts of the world, including some very exclusive properties, I have not stayed at comparable sites. This is because Garden Inn is so unique. In my view, Garden Inn is the perfect scale. Not so large as to be overwhelmingly pretensions; instead precisely the correct scale for a truly personalized experience. Staying at the Garden Inn isn't just,"getting a room." It's a mini- vacation. A brief time in a pleasant oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Of course, Garden Inn has all the usual amenities-pool, Jacuzzi, recreation room. The room themselves are among the best I've seen; large, well appointed, and meticulously maintained. Small patios front each entrance, ensuring privacy and a sense of one's one space. But it is the grounds and overall ambiance that sets Garden Inn far apart from other properties. The grounds are lush with fruit trees, brilliantly colored flowers, shrubs, and vegetable plantings of more varieties than I could count. Arising in morning, you can stroll within the Garden Inn compound, enjoying the fresh scent of fruit and blossoms. Beginning a day in such surroundings is a unique experience not often found.
I've read many hotel reviews, and nobody has much good to say about complimentary breakfasts. The Garden Inn is different. The complimentary breakfasts served each morning is more than unusual. Far from usual offerings of bitter coffee, stale doughnuts, and watered juice other properties provide, Garden Inn's offering is amazing. Fresh Belgian waffles made to order, toast, juice, coffee, tea, oatmeal, sausage, and eggs-all fresh and abundant. But it is the fruit that is so very special. Seasonal plums, peaches, oranges, grapes, grapefruit, persimmons, along with other special varieties are harvested daily from the Garden Inn grounds at precisely their peak of natural ripening. You won't find these organic wonders elsewhere and along are worth a visit to the Garden Inn. Breakfast al fresno, the air scented by surrounding trees which provided some of your repast is a true pleasure.
I live in Portland, Oregon and travel occasionally to Los Angeles. Nonetheless, and even though Fresno is not conveniently located for me in terms of daily driving distances, I wouldn't think of not stopping in Fresno each way to spend at laest one night at the Garden Inn and Suites.
A superb choice as gateway to Yosimete

Three tight ends. Three rounds. Three uniquely different outcomes to start their NFL careers.
The 2010 NFL draft saw Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham and Aaron Hernandez come off the board during the second, third and fourth rounds, respectively. All three have made significant on-field impacts for the Saints and the New England Patriots. Two of them received big-time contract extensions after their first two seasons, while one continues to play under his rookie deal.
Gronkowski signed a six-year contract that could max out at $54 million if the life of the contract is completed, including a club option in 2016. Gronkowski's contract called for a reported $16.5 million guaranteed and he agreed to his deal after his second season.
Less than three months later, the Patriots signed Hernandez to a five-year contract that would have maxed out at $40 million with $16 million guaranteed.
Meanwhile, Graham played for a base salary of $540,000 during his third season and will play for $1.323 million in base salary to round out his rookie deal this season.
Fast forward to the present.
Gronkowski has reportedly undergone five surgeries (four on his forearm, one on his back) since November and his availability to start in Week 1 is in major doubt. The Patriots released Hernandez almost immediately after he was arrested on a murder charge.
Meanwhile, all Graham has done is not complain publicly, and seemingly privately, about the status of his contract. Graham, as of now, will play out the final year of his deal and qualify to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2013 season.
"Whenever that happens (a new contract), it's going to happen," Graham said following Friday's opening training camp practice. "I'm not too concerned about it. I know if I do what I do on the field and I keep being productive and help this team win, I'm going to be taken care of.
"So I'm just here to play football. I don't really worry about all of that stuff. It will take care of itself."
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Thursday night it's a possibility that a long-term deal could happen before Graham could becomes a free agent. The Saints have about $5.1 million in salary cap space as of Friday afternoon, according to the NFLPA website. So there's cap space for the Saints to play with, and there's no doubt Jimmy Sexton, Graham's agent, is aware of this.
Graham is determined to make this a non-issue entering training camp. Graham said he understands players worrying about their future contracts and using a holdout as a strategy to put pressure on a team for a new deal, but that mode of operation wasn't one Graham pondered.
"It's to each his own," Graham said. "I'm the type of player that it's just about football. I just want to play. It's as simple as that."
Loomis added: "I have not seen one single sign of that (contract frustration) from Jimmy and I just saw Jimmy out here a few minutes ago. ...
"I think we have had a lot of success in keeping our core players here for the long run, so hopefully there is some comfort in that to him."
Drew Brees is no stranger to wrestling with the Saints over dollars. Brees played out the life of his original six-year contract and even received the franchise tag before he and the Saints hammered out a $100 million contract.
The lengthy Brees negotiations may be the reason why Graham is content with the sit-and-wait approach, even though Graham recognizes the dollars he's looking for won't compare to what Brees commanded.
The way Graham is going about his business despite the looming contract issue is one more reason why Brees appreciates Graham's demeanor.
"All I know is after the season we had last year, now that we're back I just want to be a part of it," Graham said. "I'm going to be here and I'm going to play with everything I have no matter what. ...
"I'm just a little bit different than most (players looking for a new contract)."
On the field, Graham seems determined to improve from last season's "down" season, which would constitute a dream season for most tight ends (85 catches for 982 yards and nine touchdowns).
"There's a lot (to improve)," Graham said. "I'm the type of player that always is nitpicking. Even in games where I guess I'm being praised, to me some of those are my worst games. So for me, it's trying to be as perfect as I can.
"Limit my bad mistakes and don't make them twice. I just want to get better all around. I'm still a young tight end. I'm going on my fourth year. I've only been playing (football) for four years. I see myself getting better and better each day."
Graham's lingering wrist injury in 2012 is a thing of the past as he said he's 100 percent. But naysayers sleeping on him and the Saints is something that has stuck with him.
When asked why he feels there are still doubters, Graham said, "I'm the type person, I'm the type of player and we're the type of team that wants to be the best at everything that we do. I want to be the best team in the NFL and the best at my position. You can't stop until it happens. That's what I want to be."
The NFL Network's Top 100 player list may have been the biggest naysayer of them all. The player-voted poll left Graham out of the top 100 all together. Graham said he laughed it off.
"I don't particularly pay attention to that stuff," Graham said. "I know as long as in these walls that I know that I'm the best, that's all that matters. It doesn't bother to me at all about some list."
A few minutes later, Graham did say he remembered he ranked pretty high on the same poll after the 2011 season. Graham ranked No. 14 overall on that list, the highest tight end in the rankings.
"You see his talent level, but what a lot of people don't see, unless you really dig deep, is this guy's work ethic, his passion, fire and competitive nature," Brees said. "He wants to be great and loves football. He is a good guy. He is a great locker room guy. You love being around him.
"Those are all those things that you can't just turn on the tape and see. You have to spend time and learn about this guy. I am glad he is on our team because I know what he means to our team and am excited for the opportunity he has this year."

CORVALLIS, Ore. - University of Arizona Wildcat women's basketball picked up its third-straight Pac-10 road win with a 50-46 victory at Oregon State on Thursday night. The Cats have won five of their last six contests and move to 18-10 overall and 9-8 in conference action. The Beavers fell to 9-19 overall and 2-15 in Pac-10 play.
"Oregon State made a good run but we had an answer to that run and made some plays ourselves," head coach Niya Butts said. "We made some shots and at the end of the day, we battled back. We knew it was going to be a tough game for us. That's the way they play and they have been forcing teams to play that way all year."
Senior forward Ify Ibekwe played the entire 40 minutes and collected her 11th double-double of the season with 15 points and 16 rebounds, including 11 defensively. She also picked up five steals, handed out three assists and blocked four shots.
Ibekwe was one of three Cats to score in double digits with 16 points from sophomore guard Davellyn Whyte and 11 points from senior forward Soana Lucet. Whyte also had five rebounds, three steals and dished out two assists.
Arizona won the battle of the boards with 40 rebounds to Oregon State's 39. For the game, the Wildcats shot 35.8 percent (19-53) from the field, 10.0 percent (2-20) from three-point range and 66.7 percent (10-15) from the charity stripe compared to the Beavers' 32.1 percent (18-56), 35.7 percent (4-15) and 41.7 percent (5-12), respectively.
In a game of runs, the Cats and the Beavers had four lead changes in first half, four in the second half and the score was tied five times in 40 minutes of play. The Cats also collected 14 points in fast break chances.
A sloppy first half ended with Arizona leading Oregon State, 27-18. Both teams tallied double-digit turnovers in the first 20 minutes of action with 12 for the Cats and 10 for the Beavers. For the half, Arizona shot 39.1 percent (9-23) from the field, 11.1 percent (1-9) from three-point range and 66.7 percent (8-12) from the free throw line.
For Oregon State, Earlysia Banks was the leading scorer with 16 points. Sage Indendi chipped in with 13 points, including 3-of-6 from behind the three point arc. El Sara Greer led at the glass with 10 boards.
For the Wildcats, the starting five against the Beavers were junior guard Shanita Arnold, Ibekwe, Lucet, junior guard Reiko Thomas and Whyte. Senior center Amanda Pierson got the most minutes off the bench with 16 points. She had two points, three rebounds and four blocked shots while playing some valuable minutes at the post position.
Arizona will play next at Oregon on Sat., March 5. Tip-off at Matthew Knight Arena is scheduled for 2 p.m. PT/3 p.m. MT.

X Factor's Rylan Clark Slams Gary Barlow For Latest Comments
The X Factor's Rylan Clark has taken to Twitter today to criticise Gary Barlow.
It's no secret that these two go on, but their feud seems to be more apparent this week, since Rylan was voted in over the super-talented Ella Henderson.
According to The Sun, Gary said this week: "I might have to be honest on Saturday night and go: 'Rylan, I thought that was absolute s****'."
Gary has been gigging across the UK this week, and on Tuesday he asked the audience at one of his shows what they really thought of Rylan. They apparently booed and chanted: "Get him out," to which Gary replied: "I'm glad you agree!"
Upon reading the damaging story this morning, Rylan took to Twitter to vent his frustration, saying: "I'd rather be 'absolute s***' than just stand there and sing the same old stuff every week on the spot... #boreme @GBarlowOfficial."
He added: "And I entered the x factor... NOT the voice... cheers."
Over to you, Gary! *Hides under desk* RM

about trill.wav
trill.wav is a record label founded on the ethos that the underground is keeping dance music alive. With an increasingly eclectic catalogue, genre distinctions matter naught, and forward thinking music is able to be showcased to the masses uninhibited.
about the name
trill.wav was founded with a very strong footing in hip hop. As most know, in southern rap music, the word "trill" is combination of "true" & "real"; something we strive to be in everything we do here. In audio, a "wav" file is one of the highest quality files that can exist; not only a nod to our existence as music makers, but also a promise deliver high quality content.
about the logo
We have two logos, the line logo and the circle logo
Simply put, the line logo is taken straight from the word "trill.wav", and currently serves as the main representation of the brand. The two upward lines are symbolic of upward progress, while the outlying dots remind us that the world is by no means linear. Progress is not always in the forward direction, and growth can come from everywhere.
The circle logo is somewhat of an unintentional performance art piece; it was created by the trill.wav team in the inaugural stages of the label, and was conceived by the systematic removal of straight lines from a diamond. Through this process, it became what it is today, and by accident, the "T" and "W" remained prominent through the process.

Operation: "Iraqi Freedom"
Have you ever heard such a festering load of bull**** in all your life?
Not since they renamed "Operation Enduring Freedom" to "Operation Swift Freedom". Thanks for trying, guys. No, really. What the hell is "Swift Freedom", anyway? An orgasm?
I think it should have been changed to; "Operation: Freedom for God's country America and all those who adhere to its values and\or rush to kiss its hallowed ass. The rest of you backward-thinking camel-****ing towel-headed devil-spawn can rot hell where you damn well belong, you heathens!"
God bless America!
I think BBC1 is stuck in some kind of incredibly irritating loop.
"War on Iraq"
"Attacked Military Leaders! Could be Saddam! Could end there says American Intelligence!"
"George Bush is gonna take more of your money, he went on the Television!"
"War on Iraq!"
What the Hell? Who cares about all that crap? Just go kill everyone and win the bloody war! What's up with everyone??? Isn't it like being in a fight with someone you really hate and giving them pads and stuff?
Finally, I have something good to say about America! I've been reading reports that surrendering Iraqi military units are being allowed to keep their sidearms and go back to their bases. That's pretty damn sporting of the Yanks, I feel. A man feels that much more like a man with a piece at his side. For a soldier that's especially important. Of course, the desicion isn't fueled entirely by generosity and a sense of fair play - the Americans simply don't want to have to lug a hundred thousand prisoners around the desert that would have to be simultaneously protected and guarded. I guess when you hold all the aces, there isn't much honour in passing a few high cards around the table. But then, the Iraqis do get to remain armed and head home. I doubt a prisoner of war anywhere could lay claim to getting a better deal than that.
Darth Eggplant
i like war
but they should be honest about it.
U.S presidential speach:
(as it should have been)
my fellow americans,
we had a terrorist attack
perpetrated against us.
it was tragic,
we spent a lot of time
cleaning up the ruins.
americans sent money
to the red cross
to help the families
of theose affected,
the red cross bought
computer equipment instead.
we then went to afghanistan
historically the break water
of all wars. alexander the great
could not conquer it,
the russians had their own
private vietnam there.
so we went out and spent
a lot of money kicking stones
in the middle of nowhere
nomadic goats
smirked all the while.
now we have put together
a whole bunch of new weapons,
we have to kick some ass
so the world does not see
that we are weak.
so because my daddy
had problems with him
and it's a bit of a family issue
plus we really need the oil bad
and it will be great for our ecconomy
we are going over their to liberate
that poor oil for ourselves.
and yes we did go into Kuwait
during the gulf war
and the people renamed
a street for us
but now popular sentiment
is against us.
it is in pakistan too
and turkey for that matter.
also in saudi arabia,
hell all the arabs states
dislike us,
the people are all following
religious leaders urging them
to kill every israelite and american
so the world will be a better place
and the governments of these countries
are powerless to stop populic opinion
and public sentiments,
so knowing we are not wanted
there or in Korea,
we will just hang around.
now we gave saddm 12 years
and days and days of
we will attack soon
we will attack soon
boy oh boy
this is just the skirmish
we will begin
kicking serious ass
any day now,
howerever if you guys
could sort of initiate
a middle eastern
'bay of pigs'
sort of thing and oust
your leader for us
we would appreciate it.
(and i mean we did not punish)
saddam the first time for the
catostophic enviromental terrorism
he commited blowign those oil wells.
hell the UN if it really had teeth
should have banished Iraq
to non world status forever
for that one, and the US
and all the allies should have
gone in and liberated Iraq
and brought Saddam to justice
for that, but we only wanted
to weaken the country just enough
so that we could get some coin
out of the oil.
now unlike fiction;
oil is not the spice melange
yet the middle east is dune
and the arab nations
are the fremen.
and if you ever read dune
you would know that fremen
even their women and children
will fight to make sure
not one single Harkohnen lives
and even sadurkar against them
is not a good idea.
so we the west
the G7 or 8 world
should simply switch to solar,
and all other alt power sources.
tell the 3 car manufacturrers
to start producing.
set up wind turbines
learnt how cold fusion works.
and stop dealing
with the middle east completely.
after all they have one and only one
viable export, and are in need
of everything else from us.
let them have their oil
they can't eat it.
and we should charge $100 dollars
per orange, per needle, per bandage,
per anything technological, or elsewise
since it costs $100 dollars US
per barrel of oil.
and americans jumped the gun
with the japanese in WW2
now we are all so PC that
we should almost be doing it now,
or rather all middle eastern people
who feel that america is a bad place
and americans are souless infedels
in league with satan, well here's
a parachute for when we fly you over
and dump you back into the country
you came from. since it is so
ideologically pure. please don't let
the door bite your ass on the way out.
also all these middle eastern countries
who say they are against terrorism
yet they fund them, why does anyone
americans included need anonymous
bank accounts in switzerland
or the caymans? all those funds
should be taken. case and point.
and all these terrorist and religious
leaders coming to america to educate
themselves and then return home
so that they can fill illiterate peoples
heads full of anti western propoganda.
and all the while here at least
in canada the canadian arab federations
president has the following to say:
'if islamic terrorists can sneak into
canada and get past your security
good for them! it's your problem
that your not vigilent enough.'
'and media and journalists
should not use or introduce
the term islamic terrorist
into the common venacular.
yes these people are middle eastern
and yes they are islamic
and yes they are terrorists
and yes they say that
alah has commanded that they kill
every single israelite and american
and that they will die and go to
our islamic version of heaven
and get 70 wives and 70 mistress'
but that does not make them
fundamentalist islamic terrorists.
*anyways you'll have noticed
it stopped being a speach,
and became a rant; oh say
when i began really*
anyhwo americans
as your president
i just want to
say this to you all:
we are bombing them with
cruise missiles
(i would say they qualify as)
weapons of mass destruction.
and we have high tech satelities
in space, and we have B52 bombers
always up their spying, er rather
collecting topographical information.
<if Saddam had this technology
it would be evil> but we have it
so it okay.
and we will send bombs into Iraq
from way outside their borders
and these missiles will fly
under the radar,
so they can not be detectected
<and if Saddam, sent missiles
such as these at us it would be evil>
but because we do it is okay.
and Iraqis will learn how
humane our soldiers really are.
<and Saddam is bad, real bad,
an agent of evil, because he builds
government and military instalations
inside populated areas where civilians
can get hurt> but we have ourselves
the White House and The Pentagon
inside a populated area, where
civilians and tourists can get hurt;
but that is okay, cause we are
the good guys. and we deffend the world.
after all we won WW2, don't let the fact
that we sat out 2\3rds or more of it
before getting involved.
anyhow america
this is why we go to war.
don't let anyone tell you
it is an illegal war,
(as if such an oxymoron even exists)
yes God Bless America!
and the only good Saddam
is a Dead Saddam.
Tall Guy
I'm for the war.
Not because I like to see innocent women and children killed but I want to see Iraq liberated and its leader overthrown.
How the world can stand back and let Saddam continually beef up his supply of weapons of mass destruction and treat 'his' people how he does is beyond me...
In my opinion peace protesters are very nieve people, you have to understand that the people of Iraq don't want to live under the rule of Saddam any londer, they hate his regime and long to be free. Sure, there are some who support him but many don't.
This war is just, it is needed and the world will be a better place once it's finished and the people of Iraq liberated.
You also have to understand the reasons why the American government have chosen to liberate Iraq rather than other nations that are suffering a great deal more. North Korea are also known to have "tha bomb" and hundreds of thousands are starving because Jong spends too much on purchasing guns and explosives. The Palestineans and the Israelites have suffered for long enough too. Blah Blah etc.
I do see the benefits of this war, but I don't think this is the best way to go about it. The Iraqis who want to be liberated will leave the country anyway, and probably never return, and in order to "liberate" them, we will first have to kill them. America forced the sanctions upon Iraq, profited from them, enforced them, bombed Iraqi civilians regularly, and now, for some reason, they've just decided to "liberate" them without finding any weapons of mass destruction or "liberating" the more obvious targets first. It's pure coincidence that Iraq holds a certain natural resource that the US are running out of / losing control of.
There is really only one reason the US will be bombing Iraq, the others are just bonuses. In the long run, this is just going to increase the number of terrorist attacks on the US.
Protestors only want to get out of work, Protesting never really helps when it's just people waving signs.
Darth Eggplant
*the following may sound oddball and kooky*
I wonder about something personally,
George W spoke on and on about Saddam's
vast store of Biological and Chemical
warfare capabilities; ANd just before
the War beginns and everyone assumes
Bush got the first licks in SARS suddenly
is coming to the USA and the UK and I bet
Australia next. I mean it is sudden,
and scientists and doctors have never seen
it's like before. (someone reported to
knowing how to produce Anthrax
and Small Pox, well SARS couldn't be that much more difficult and it is only hollywood
but Osmosis Jones the virus villian Drax,
he planned to invade Frank with something
as innocuos as the common cold.
so there are islamic factions in the far
east now. so if I was going to mastermind
a viral assault I would do the following
(A) start it as far away from me as possible.
Asia is pretty far. (B) I would infect non
arabic people. (C) I would target a group
of people who would have reason to visit
the USA, the UK, Australia and Europe.
*I do not seem to sound racist and if this
is I appologize in advance* but people from
Hong Kong or other parts of Asia are more
likely to visit the rest of the world
than the middle east. I mean most of here
in North America will never visit
the middle east especially if a war is on.
so starting a disease in the far east and
letting it sweep across to the west
is a plan indeed. (D) lastly a antidote.
Saddam might have an antidote which he is not
going to share with non islamic people.
or he may be wanting to go down in flames
with all his people coming with him.
*at any rate because I do not have a life
I tend to think of stuff like this.
Tall Guy
pro-war propaganda ;) take a look.

Two Philadelphia men are facing drug charges after police found 26 pounds of marijuana in the trunk of their rental car during a traffic stop near the Biddles Toll Plaza on Friday.
The traffic stop occurred just south of the Del. Route 1 toll plaza northeast of Middletown about 1:45 p.m. after troopers running radar spotted a 2012 Ford Taurus speeding south on the freeway, according to Delaware State Police spokesman Master Cpl. Gary Fournier.
The driver, 25-year-old Marquis Maddox, was not listed as an authorized driver of the rental car and a computer check revealed his Pennsylvania license had been suspended, Fournier said.
As a result, troopers conducted an inventory search of the vehicle before having it towed.
During the search, troopers discovered a large, sealed box that Maddox and his passenger, 30-year-old Torrance Lomax, declined to claim.
A state police K-9 officer brought to the scene later indicated the package contained drugs.
Police later obtained a search warrant to open the box, which was found to contain marijuana.
Maddox and Lomax each are charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver and conspiracy.
Maddox also was cited for speeding, driving without a valid license and driving with the consent of the owner.
Both men are being held at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution in Wilmington in lieu of cash bonds, Fournier said.

Green home building expert says the wave of the future is in earth covered techniques
DALLAS (March 18, 2014) – Earth sheltered living can solve many of the environmental challenges conventional building techniques overlook. The main reason for building earth sheltered housing is longevity, says Ralph Smoot, a consultant for Earth Sheltered construction, agent and founder of Ralph Smoot Construction. "That's where your money will earn its keep—so to speak."
Green Building construction seminars will be offered at the sixth annual IEEE Green Tech Conference April 3 in Corpus Christi, Texas, http://www.ieeegreentech.org.
Smoot will give a brief history lesson of the lumber industry in the United States to any who asks, explaining why he believes using wood for building is not practical. Smoot spoke with co-host Jack Bishop by phone as a guest on the ScienceNews Radio Network program, The Promise of Tomorrow, www.PromiseOfTomorrow.biz . The program originates in Dallas, Texas, and can then be heard Webcast and archived for its world audience.
Smoot tells of his experiences and insight into the full value of earth sheltered building and living. Bishop asked Smoot how this type of sustainable green housing could be constructed in Texas. Smoot replied "there are three styles; burn- which is flat land construction…, elevational- which cuts into a hill... and atrium- which is considered custom nature, such as a horse shoe or zig-zag design". "Green is learning to build in harmony with divine design." Smoot said.
These Green Building construction seminars at the sixth annual IEEE Greentech Conferences are sponsored by IEEE USA, IEEE Region 5, and IEEE Corpus Christi Section. The purpose of the conference is to present unpublished, original papers on the field of Green Technology with presentations, workshops, and invited talks in related fields.

An interesting look into the lens of beautiful photographer Mathilde Bresson.
How and when did you first get into photography?
I've always loved taking pictures, then in christmas 2010, I was offered my first DSLR, so I wanted to understand how it worked and I developed a passion for photography. I'm also interested in fashion photography, and started training, by practicing on my girlfriends. Then, it became more serious when I really learned the techniques of internal settings. There, my professional life started to soar ahead.
Who were some of your biggest inspirations in the photography world?
Saraf Fafet for fashion , Mathieu Galfré for the ideas, Giuliano Bekor, Stephan Bourson for his beauty photography and David LaChapelle for his crazy inspiration.
What kind have training have you done?
I'm self-taught. I learned from books and videos online and by observing the work of others. However, I did two courses, one for internal and technical adjustments, and a studio for pictures and retouching.
What has been your favorite project or subjects to shoot so far and why?
My favorite project was a campaign for a jewelry and clothing brand. I worked all day with an amazing crew, MUA, hairdresser, stylist and model in Saint Tropez, France. I love when everybody shares their Ideas. Being surrounded by artistic people in the end created beautiful pictures for the
What projects do you have coming up?
To work with luxury brands, fashion magazines; collaborate with artists for personal projects and work on music videos.
What would be your dream photography project to shoot?
My dream photography project to shoot is in all the most amazing places in the US for fashion brands or magazines. Mixed with my French taste and touch and American locations.
What are your plans for the future?
I want to gain experience abroad to enrich me and enjoy exceptional places, because I love to shoot outdoors. For this, the ideal place is the US for the artistic vision and the beautiful places.
What is your advice to aspiring photographers?
Do not be discouraged, believe in your dreams, and learn by oneself. Many observe the work of others, ask for constructive criticism, and always question yourself.

Last week we learned that for her new film "So Undercover," Miley Cyrus will take on the part of "a tough, street-smart private eye hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority." And while that description is accurate — and sort of awesome — it also sells the role short.
As Cyrus explained to MTV News backstage at the 2010 Europe Music Awards , her character is a whole lot more than just a private eye.
"She's basically this chick who grows up as a super tomboy, and she's an FBI agent and gets thrown into a bunch of girls that she doesn't understand because she's been around her dad, who's been in the FBI his whole life," Cyrus told us in Madrid. "And basically, by having to go undercover and be someone that she's not, she kind of finds the person she is, because she realizes she doesn't have to carry the weight on her shoulder of what her dad was, and she can be her own person."
And while there's depth to the role, Cyrus is also the first to admit that there are plenty of other perks that came along with it, namely, access to a trainer who's in the process of turning her into a badass street fighter, complete with an arsenal of moves that she'd probably love to unleash on a pesky paparazzo or two.
"I've been actually doing all kinds of stuff. … I've been doing fighting, like learning how to box … mostly like street fighting, so knowing how to, like, if someone comes up from behind you, being able to defend yourself," she said. "I have a trainer and I have bruises everywhere from, like, kicking the bags. … And I've learned how to use guns, which was really scary," Cyrus admitted. "I cried the first time, I was like, 'I'm not doing this … can't do this movie,' [but] then you get used to it, you get used to the feeling. You get used to, like, dropping, like he'll like point it at you and you've got to drop down real quick and grab your weapon and come back up. It's been really insane, so, it's a more fun workout than running on a treadmill."
Production on "So Undercover" begins in December, which means that, between now and then, Cyrus is only going to get tougher and tougher — and that's bad news for anyone who's thinking of crossing her.
"I want to learn how to do most of my own stuff," she smiled. "Just for normal life, I think every woman should know a little self-defense."
Consider yourself warned.
What do you think of Miley's next movie role? Tell us in the comments!

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Agilent Technologies is partnering with Seoul National University to put together a new research center that it says will support SNU's College of Pharmacy's New Drug Development Center. Agilent and the College of Pharmacy signed an MOU stating plans jointly to conduct drug metabolism studies, research and develop new compounds, assess drug toxicity and remedial effects as well as pharmacokinetics, and conduct clinical tests for drugs.
Agilent says it will provide bio-analytical instruments and expertise in pharmaceutical drug testing and multi-omic biological systems to the College of Pharmacy as part of the deal. The firm adds that it will also be using the new center as its reference site for drug development. SNU's New Drug Development Center, where the new center will be located, is a six-story multi-purpose research center for drug development that SNU says houses facilities for analysis, efficacy testing, and medicinal ingredient research.
"We have been leading Korea's pharmaceutical industry through the strategic use of technology and driving the development of new drugs," Bong-Jin Lee, Ph.D., dean of the College of Pharmacy, said in a statement. "As we prepare students for the future, we will push the frontiers of drug development by expanding our research facilities, producing outstanding research, and leading the development of technology. We are pleased to collaborate with Agilent, as our scientists and researchers require the latest, most sophisticated instruments for their work."

High Blood Pressure After Kidney Transplantation
by Dr. Nithin Jayan on March 10, 2011 at 2:57 PM Health Watch - G J E 4
According to recent statistics from the World Health Organization, around 68300 kidney transplants are performed every year worldwide. India is a hub for affordable kidney transplants and performs about 3000 kidney transplants in a year.
Survival of patient and transplant has improved tremendously. Despite this fact cardiovascular disease continues to be the most common cause of death and transplant loss after kidney transplant. A major risk factor for this is hypertension, i.e. high Blood Pressure (BP). Hypertension is almost ubiquitous in kidney transplant recipients. Hypertension negatively affects transplant and patient survival outcomes. Its best management requires careful analysis of causes and close monitoring of therapies.
AdvertisementThe two classical immunosuppressant medicines tacrolimus and cyclosporine used after organ transplant to reduce risk of donor organ rejection are implicated as major cause for hypertension in patients after transplantation.
Traditionally, BP measurements typically are performed in the office by a medical assistant, nurse, or physician. One of the studies revealed that the presence of the physician at the time of BP measurement caused BP to increase by 3-4 mm Hg. Hence, alternatives to office BP readings include self BP measurement (SBPM) at home, and ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) are now recommended. ABPM is regarded as a more sensitive method for diagnosing hypertension than sole reliance on office BP in kidney transplant recipients.
Though there are no sufficient clinical evidences, lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss, increasing regular exercise, and sodium restriction are advised to transplant patients. Antihypertensive therapy in these patients is beneficial as it helps in preserving the functions of kidney and decreasing the risk of heart diseases. A universal algorithm for the management of posttransplant hypertension is not available at present. A recent publication in the American Journal of Kidney Disease (AJKD) reviewed anti-hypertensive medications for patients after kidney transplantation.
Patients with established heart disease and diabetes should receive the class of BP lowering drugs called beta-blockers in the perioperative period. The drug called hydralazine is good for short term use in hospitalized patients. Calcium channel blockers may be recommended early after transplants.
Proper management of hypertension is a life saver. It helps to attain better transplant and patient survival outcomes. Therapy should be goal oriented and care should be highly customised, i.e. tailored to the need of the individual.

These sleevies are one of the best fashion inventions! I've ordered them in black and now i have transformed all my short sleeve t-shirts into long sleeve ones. Amazing, it is just like having a whole new wardrobe!

This is a great idea in theory. I have really skinny arms I purchased the xs as I'm 49 and weigh 100 pounds. They keep skidding down my arm. I think they need a wider elastic band. I live the idea and I still wear them often although I'm constantly adjusting them so there isn't a gap between them and the sleeve in my shirt. I would like to see this issue fixed because it's a great IDEa.

I love the idea of sleevies, but they just don't stay in place. They slide down my arm so I have to keep hiking them back up into place. And I don't have skinny arms! I think if the elastic was a wider band, and maybe a little tighter they would work better. Maybe use velcro to make the size adjustable?

London - Zoom and Burst
Zoom burst is a photographic technique, attainable with zoom lenses with a manual zoom ring.
Using the technique involves zooming while the shutter is open with a relatively slow shutter speed, generally below 1/60th of a second. For this reason low light or small apertures are required.
Photographs taken with this technique are characterized by blurred streaks emanating from the center of the photograph. The effect is nearly identical to a motion blur image in which the camera is traveling towards the subject. For this reason the zoom burst is typically used to create an impression of motion towards the subject.

"Alias" star Michael Vartan denies reports he refused to sign a release after being "Punk'd" by Ashton Kutcher.
The reports went on to say Vartan was so mad, he refused to sign the release letting the prank be shown on Kutcher's MTV show, "Punk'd."
However, Vartan says none of it ever happened.
"I was never 'Punk'd' on an airplane, so I don't know where they got the story," Vartan said. "I'm terrified of flying so to get on an airplane and then have pieces of the plane start falling off -- that would be very funny."

Starting today, Amazon will be shipping the hardcover version of "The Last Lecture", by Prof. Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow. While I wait for my copy to arrive, I feel the need to express a few thoughts on the subject of this book. Over the past several months I've been following closely Randy's story and was often tempted to write a few lines about his touching message and courageous attitude towards life and death. The release of this book is a good opportunity for me to do so, because I'd rather prefer my words to be a heartfelt thank you letter – while Randy is still alive – than a brief eulogy to be published when, sadly, he's no longer physically with us anymore.
Randy Pausch is a popular Professor of Computer Science, HCI, and Design at Carnegie Mellon University, an ACM Fellow, and the founder of the Alice project (an educational software that's designed to teach computer programming to young students. You can donate here.). He's also a married man and the father of three small children. In August of 2007, Randy was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and was told that he would have very little time left to live. Grimly, he was given an estimated 3 to 6 months of remaining good health.
On September 18, 2007, Randy gave a lecture at CMU which made him famous worldwide. The talk was titled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams", and it was given as per tradition, as a hypothetical final lecture in which top academics are asked to summarize important lessons that mattered to them, as though it was their last chance to do so. For Professor Pausch however, this was actually the case.
His lecture is truly brilliant and provides important suggestions on how to achieve satisfaction in life, by living to the fullest. If you haven't seen it before, please make sure you do, today. It's not the usual self-help mumbo-jumbo, and it's not a sad, depressing lecture either. It's uplifting stuff that will motivate you and, to a certain extent, change your life if you're listening carefully enough. I know it has had a deep impact on my own life, even if I've never had the chance to meet Randy and I've not (thankfully, so far) had any close relatives or friends die as a result of pancreatic cancer.
I love how, throughout his lecture, Randy manages to maintain an optimistic outlook on life, while at the same time not being in denial about his condition, or the future that his family is facing. His proactive, positive attitude, even when approaching death, is nothing short of inspirational. And I'm talking about the type of inspiration that you get after hearing a recording of Richard Feynman. Without even trying hard to inspire many, this man ended up doing just that for the millions of online viewers and TV spectators who watched the condensed version of Randy's lecture on Oprah.
Here is a man who, with humility and dignity, decided to fight an aggressive disease for which there is no cure, by living his life to its fullest and having fun until his last day. Rather than screaming "why me?" or feeling depressed by how unfair his situation is, he's opted to accept his condition no matter how unfortunate it is. While at the same time working diligently to make the best of the present, and to ensure a future for his wife and kids in which they are taken care of.
You can't control the cards you're dealt, just how you play the hand.
— Dr. Randy Pausch
It's humbling, to say the least, when one start to think about the countless day-to-day opportunities that each of us has, just by the sheer fact that we don't have an immediate "death sentence" over our heads. It makes you think about the value of time and the fact that most of us have no reason to feel sad or over-worried about the small problems that affect our daily routines. His lecture, and his ultimate lesson, are about embracing life and never giving up.
For those of you who have access to North American TV, tomorrow ABC will air an hour long Diane Sawyer feature entitled "The Last Lecture: A Love Story For Your Life". Please, if you can, try not to miss it.
But it's not just inspiration and the power of dreams that I want to talk to you about. We, as a society, have a very skewed perception of what constitutes a real threat. Terrorism is one of the most unlikely causes of death in America and yet it has received a huge deal of press coverage and public attention. Mad Cow Disease, Avian Flu, Africanized bees, just to name a few, are all very unlikely to affect you. Yet, in the collective mind they are perceived as huge risks, because they've been portrayed as such by the media. We have a huge elephant in the room though, and it's being ignored. That elephant is cancer. Cancer is the second highest cause of death in the US, after Heart Disease, and in 2005 alone, it was responsible for taking the lives of 559,312 people. Or to look at it from another angle, 22.8% of all US deaths occurred as a result of cancer. 1 in 2 men, and 1 in 3 women, will statistically develop cancer in their lifetime. This means that if you're married or have a life partner, there is a greater chance of one of you developing cancer, than of neither of you being affected. These numbers are astonishing, absolutely astonishing.
Society, as a whole, really needs to stop and reflect for a moment on the impact of cancer. Cancer is literally killing millions of people, and we are unnecessarily playing Russian roulette. The odds are against us. Any of us can get cancer, no matter how healthy we try to be. Cancer research has done a lot in terms of improving the survival rates of specific types of cancers. But others are, by and large, left in the dark, with very little funding and research going towards them. The five-year relative survival rate for melanoma went from 82% to 92% in the past 30 years, breast cancer went from 75% to 89%, and prostate cancer from 69% to 99%. Overall, considering all the types of cancer, in the past three decades, we've gone from a 50% chance of survival to a 66% chance. Those are all excellent results, and they essentially mean that if you get any of the cancers mentioned above, you have a fighting chance of surviving thanks to the research that's been done and the funding that's been put forth.
But not all cancers are created equal. Do you know what the survival rate for pancreatic cancer is? 4-5%. If you get pancreatic cancer, you may as well consider yourself dead – and usually within the span of a few short months. Over the last 30 years there have been extremely few advances in the field of pancreatic cancer research, and a truly severe lack of funding. I'm an atheist who doesn't believe in prayer, but I do believe in science and that when you put money towards research, results usually follow in a fairly systematic manner.
Randy has been strongly advocating for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. I ask you to join me in donating to this very worthy cause, because donations can, and will, make a very real difference. I'm not good at telling other people what they should do with their hard earned money, but if you can, please contribute to this cause, as it will help to make Randy's last few months worth of incredible effort all the more valuable. Many tech people donated to Ron Paul, Kucinich, Obama and other valuable political campaigns, now let's make sure that the same happens for another type of very important cause – and let's do it while Randy is still alive to witness our support.
The following is Randy Pausch's public service announcement on behalf of the PANCAN:
This one is a public service announcement of The Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research:
And this is his testimony before Congress:
And finally, if you haven't done so, I highly encourage you to watch his lecture:
With absolute sincerity, thank you Randy for showing us all how to live in the face of adversity.
If you enjoyed this post, then make sure you subscribe to my Newsletter and/or Feed.
I have watched the lecture before. But I can barely remember when was the last time I was touched by a post like yours did.
Seeing the actual cancer numbers is also astonishing. I guess we very easily ignore things which make us feel bad, and rather prefer to think that Terrorism or anything else could cause us more harm than what the numbers actually say.
In any case, it's clear by your words that the lecture has touched you very deeply, and thanks a lot for spreading this across.
Take care,
Dear Antonio,
I follow your blog regularly, and I already knew about Randy.
Three days ago, my father (I'm still in Italy for a few more weeks) approached me, telling he has a present for me.
He knows I don't read italian books anymore, but he said "you have to read this", and it was Randy's biography.
My father bought it because one italian newspaper wrote about it (unfortunately, he can't really feel what we english speakers feel when we watch that video), but he felt it was good for me.
He was surprised, of course, to know that I already knew lots of things about Randy.
You're right, Antonio, his great accomplishment is to show how to live in a good way, despite a death sentence on his head.
Honestly, I'm trying to be like this since three years (a change in my life, without any mayor drama), but seeing one like Randy succeed, means we all can do it.
Thanks for this post, Antonio, I loved reading it, and today it reminded me of Randy.
Hi Antonio,
Thank you so much for writing what you did! You really put things into perspective, especially your comments about perceived vs. real threats. I did actually loose my father to pancreatic cancer and before his diagnosis, I had never even heard of it. I wholeheartedly join you in promoting the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. They are wonderful advocates for all of us affected by this horrible disease. Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer death, but the research to find a cure or eary detection is very poorly funded. It has very grim survival statistics as you say. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network works to provide cancer research funding, but more importantly, I think, they also provide wonderful resources to the caregivers and patients. They have a resource called PALS where anyone can call toll free for help: 877-272-6226.
Thank you again for your essay on this topic. Randy Pausch is truly an inspiration and I will definitely watch 20/20 tonight.
I read about Randy sometimes ago, and watch his video too.
I must admit that I am touched, but still, that is still to me, some incidents that happen to another person.
Until my father was diagnosed to have cancer, yesterday.
How inspiring Randy Pausch is! If you liked "The Last Lecture", another fantastic memoir I just read and highly recommend is "My Stroke of Insight" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Her TEDTalk video (ted.com) has been seen as many times as The Last Lecture I think, and Oprah did 4 shows on her book, so there are a lot of similarities. In My Stroke of Insight, there's a happy ending though. It's an incredible story! I hear they're making it into a movie.
I sincerely welcome and appreciate your comments, whether in agreement or dissenting with my article. However, trolling will not be tolerated. Comments are automatically closed 15 days after the publication of each article.

Since the conclusion of the 2012 Rose Bowl Game, four patron tunnels in the North end of the bowl have been widened for easier ingress and egress, as well as new aisles and handrails in the north end of the stadium. In addition, the shell of a new Pavilion, four times the size of the old facility, has been completed. Several levels of the Pavilion, including broadcast booths, 26 suites, 300 club seats, donor areas and working media areas are ready for use this season and the entire facility will be completed prior to the 2013 season.
Stadium improvements are expected to occur following the 2012 season, which will include field-level exiting, which is expected to improve circulation on the concourse of the 90-year-old facility.
When completed, all of the improvements to the stadium, both visible and unseen, will improve the fan experience while maintaining the stadium's iconic and historic status. Public safety will be enhanced, and new revenue sources will be able to fund continued improvements and upgrades to the Pasadena landmark.
Parking spots in Lot H (south of the bowl) and Brookside Park and Golf Course will be sold for $20 per car on game days by the Rose Bowl Operating Company. In addition, parking in RV designated lots is $50. Parking lots open six (6) hours prior to kick-off. Handicapped parking is available immediately adjacent to the Rose Bowl, and vehicles must display a valid State of California handicapped placard and registration upon entering the lots. Parking is also available at the Parsons' lot in Pasadena for $12 on game day and features a free round-trip shuttle to and from the Rose Bowl Lot B, beginning 3 hours prior to kick-off and ending 1 hour after the game.
UCLA will continue to host the Bruin Fan Zone in Area H. That area will include various food vendors and corporate sponsor tents. Hyundai, Carl's Jr. and the UCLA Store will have a presence in the Fan Zone for all seven UCLA home games, while other vendors will rotate in the area throughout the year. In addition, the UCLA Health System Kids Zone will feature inflatables, a football toss, other activities and an opportunity for young fans to meet members of the Sprit Squad.
Tickets for the 2012 UCLA Football season at the Rose Bowl are on sale now. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call 310-UCLA-WIN or visit UCLABruins.com.

Newcastle, 2013. My team have been top half finishers for the last few seasons and have won the UEFA Cup 3 times. Im ranked 7th best team in the world and one of the richest clubs int eh world too. I'm concerned to that my players are still asking for relegation release clauses. In previous versions it was only lower standing in the league clubs that's players requested this!
Is this a bug or standard protocol now?
