Market Backs Turkey Forecasts, But Concerns Linger Over Deficit
For market players expecting some silver bullet-type restructuring, Turkey's long-awaited medium-term economic program would have underwhelmed.
The program, unveiled on Thursday by deputy Prime Minister and economics czar Ali Babacan, detailed sweeping revisions to growth, deficit and inflation forecasts, but offered only limited concrete proposals to soothe investor nerves over the fast-growing economy's key structural imbalance; the ballooning current account deficit.
That tonic came in the form of a package of tax hikes, seeking to boost government coffers and slow the rampant consumer demand that is fuelling the finance gap.
The Ministry of Finance said the moves, which include a rise in duties on alcohol, tobacco, mobile phones, light commercial vehicles and passenger cars, could add TRY5.5 billion, or 0.4% of GDP to the budget.
That prospective tightening was welcomed by economists, but many also wondered whether the government was doing enough to tackle the deficit, which leaves the economy vulnerable to external shocks and is the biggest obstacle to the country achieving an investment-grade credit rating, according to ratings agencies.
Capital Economics warned:
"While the program contains some movement towards fiscal tightening, we think that it is a case of too little too late. It is based on overly-optimistic assumptions and will not do enough to reduce Turkey's current account deficit which, at around 10% of GDP, is looking increasingly unsustainable."
Tim Ash, from RBS, added:
"The current account deficit… in my mind remains the key risk to this forecast/plan."
That deficit–which Mr. Babacan said he now expects to hit 9.4% of gdp this year and remain elevated at 8% next year – remains Turkey's fast-growing Achilles heel.
In one sense, the finance gap is symptomatic of Turkey's consumer-driven success. Turkey's economy outstripped China in the first half of 2011 to post the fastest expansion of any Group of 20 economy, propelled by booming domestic demand that has seen the current account deficit mushroom.
The rate of the deficit's expansion is beginning to slow in tandem with economic output, but many in the market fear the finance gap still leaves the economy vulnerable, particularly as much of the deficit is financed by short-term portfolio flows, which can easily be withdrawn.
But investors nervy about the government's deficit plans also took solace from what they saw as the relative "credibility" of the government's numbers. Mr. Babacan predicted sharply weaker growth of 4% next year along with the still-wide current account deficit in 2012.
The government's budget and debt goals are "reasonable and positive in general," Ozgur Altug, chief economist for BGC Partners in Istanbul, said in a report.
Ratings agencies are yet to comment on whether Thursday's program will boost Turkey's deficit position enough to warrant an upgrade, but for most economists the specter of the current account still looms large.
"The government forecasts for growth are optimistic but not unrealistic, and for the current account deficit they are credible; but there's still room for more deterioration, and if that happened the government would need to step in. If they did the market may be comfortable–but if not the risks would be magnified," said Guldem Atabay, Director of Turkey.

Mortality rates from breast cancer
Kevin Fox, MD
Last Modified: June 9, 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Kevin Fox, MD Assistant Director, Clinical Affairs and Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania responds:
It can be frustrating to the individual observer when looking at overall mortality figures. Overall mortality from breast cancer has dropped, but only by a little bit. The two most likely reasons are early detection from increased use of mammography, and from more effective drug therapies (adjuvant therapies) for patients with early stages of disease. By catching breast cancer at an earlier stage, we should be able to impact survival over time, but this may take many years to prove. Similarly, with the addition of new adjuvant therapies and broader distribution and availability, we hope to see this trend continue.

Tree Components
A tree component represents a set of hierarchical data in the form of an indented outline, which users can expand and collapse. Tree components are useful for displaying data such as the folders and files in a file system or the table of contents in a help system.
A tree component consists of nodes. The top-level node, from which all other nodes branch, is the root node. Nodes that might have subnodes are called "containers." All other nodes are called "leaves." The default icon for a container is a folder, and the default icon for a leaf is a file. Each node is accompanied by text.
Turners appear next to each container in the tree component. The turner points right when the container is collapsed and down when the container is expanded.
In the following figure, the Projects, Fire station, First floor, and Landscaping nodes are expanded containers; all the other containers are collapsed. Landscaping is a container without subnodes. Communications, Garage, and Shop are leaves.
The turner, container, and leaf graphics shown in Figure 199 are the default graphics provided by the JFC.
Click here to view the corresponding code for Figure 199 (also available on the book's companion CD-ROM).Figure 199 Tree Component With Top-Level Lines
Users can click a right-pointing turner to expand its container so that the contents are visible in the tree component. The turner rotates to point downward. Clicking a downward-pointing turner collapses its container so that the contents are no longer visible. For the keyboard operations that are appropriate for tree components, see Table 33.
In most tree components, display the second level of the hierarchy as your highest level. Your outline will be easier to use if you do not display the root node.
Display turners for all containers in the tree component, including the containers at the highest level. Turners remind users that they can expand and collapse the node.
Setting the
rootVisible property of the tree component to false turns off the display of the root node.
Setting the
showsRootHandles of the tree component to true turns on the display of turners for the highest-level containers.
The JFC provides three options for including lines in a tree component. The first option is not to include any lines. The second option is to draw lines that separate the top-level nodes, as shown in Figure 199. The third option is to draw lines that define the hierarchical relationships of the nodes, as shown in the following figure.Figure 200 Tree Component With Hierarchy Lines
If your tree component contains three or more levels, use lines to delineate the hierarchical relationships of the nodes.
The client property
JTree.lineStyle can be set to None to display no lines, to Horizontal to display top-level lines, and to Angled to display hierarchy lines.
You can substitute your own graphics for the JFC-supplied container and leaf node graphics. For example, if your hierarchy represents the clients and servers in a network, you might include graphic representations of the clients and servers. In Figure 200, a custom music graphic is used for the leaf nodes. You might also use separate graphics to show when a container is expanded and when it is collapsed.
You can enable users to edit the text in a tree component. When editing is enabled, users can change text using the same editing commands that they use for text fields. These commands are described in Editable Text Fields.
To start editing a node in a tree component, users can:
Setting the editable property to true enables editing of all nodes in the tree.

Florida Marlins designate Jay Buente, yet to decide on Saturday starter
The Marlins on Tuesday designated right-hander Jay Buente for assignment and recalled right-handed reliever Steve Cishek from Triple-A New Orleans, giving them nine relievers. Buente arrived from the Zephyrs to take Josh Johnson's rotation spot. Sunday, Buente went just three innings and allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits, three walks and a strikeout.
Buente was scheduled to pitch Saturday at Dodger Stadium. The Marlins have not yet determined who will make that start. One option is to designate it a bullpen day. Another is triple-A right-hander Chris Sampson, who the Marlins signed as a minor league free agent earlier this season. He made his organizational debut on Monday, getting the win after tossing six innings and allowing one unearned run on six hits with no walks and and a strikeout. He would have to be added to the 40-man roster.
All 174 of Sampson's major league appearances from 2006-10 came with the Astros. He started 33 of those games, the last coming in 2008.
Tom Koehler, the club's top performing starter at Triple-A is scheduled to go Thursday and could be pushed back until Saturday. Sean West probably is not a possibility because he's only made one start since coming the disabled list and isn't stretched out.

Restoring Arizona's Forests Gallery
By Monday, January 14 to Tracey Kiest Stone
Background: Arizona forest conditions – 4 million acres overgrown from fire suppression and exacerbated by drought — are ripe for damaging wildfires that burn hotter and more intense than wildfires of the pasts. The Wallow Fire alone cost more than $100 million to fight, while the long-term cost of rehabilitating the land and rural economy is much higher.
Future: The future of forest management in Arizona and throughout the West requires a paradigm shift. Rather than the public footing a huge bill for cutting timber, forest management requires a long-term approach in which private companies thin the trees, using them to make wood products and develop markets that will benefit local economies. The Conservancy and others have joined together to train a workforce skilled in thinning and incorporating new technologies — all designed to improve project management while reducing costs.
The exhibit is open from Wednesday, January 16, 2013 to May 31, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Placement of indexterms
Richard Hamilton <rlhamilton <at> frii.com>
I've been indexing a book in DocBook 5.0 and am running into something strange. What I would like to do is to mark an entire section as a range in the index. So, I have something like this: <section> <title>Using the Internet</title> <indexterm class="startofrange" xml:id="idx.chap.using.web"> <primary>Internet</primary> </indexterm> ... content ... <indexterm class="endofrange" startref="idx.chap.using.web"/> </section> This works fine if there are no subsections in "... content ...". But, if there are, the <indexterm> at the end is invalid. That is, <indexterm> is allowed inside a section *before* any sub-section, but not after. The only way to make this example parse is to place the closing <indexterm> at the end of the last, inner-most section. Confusing enough? Here is a better(?) example: <section> ... <indexterm .../> <!-- A OK--> <section> ... <section> ... </section> <section> ... <indexterm .../> <!-- B OK--> </section> <indexterm .../> <!-- C BAD--> </section>(Continue reading)

According to a March 10 report from MMA Fighting, Miesha Tate is curious about a potential matchup between Gina Carano and Ronda Rousey.
Tate, 27, says the fan in her would like to see Carano duke it out with Rousey, if only for the exposure it would bring to women's MMA.
Tate does admit that a Carano vs Rousey bout would be a one-sided "squash match" at least on paper, but she still would be interested in seeing it happen.
I think that would be a lot for Gina to take on, having a five-year layoff. I don't know, I think the fans would really get a kick out of it, so I understand the entertainment value. The fan in me would be a little curious to see it, but I don't know if it would be a fair match-up, just because she's been out of the loop for so long. And to even make 135 again, we're talking about questionable. She struggled to make 145, who's going to say five years later she's going to want to fight Ronda Rousey at 135. It's a little far-fetched.
Tate says she's far more interested in seeing Rousey fight Cris "Cyborg" Santos.
"Everyone wants to see that fight," Tate said of Rousey vs Santos. "I think that Cyborg has proven time and time again that she is one of the baddest women on the planet. If she can be the Invicta FC champion at 135, I think she's done enough. I think that it's definitely a fair match-up, and I think everybody, including myself, would absolutely love to see it."
Tate says she's at peace with Rousey following their bout at UFC 168. Even though Rousey didn't shake her hand, she's over it.
"I don't know if I expected anything different," Tate said of Rousey not shaking her hand. "It was just kind of what I got used to, but that was my bury the hatchet, last ditch effort to say, you know what, we laid it all on the line, you came out the better fighter, I respect you for that. That was my offering, she didn't want to accept it, and that's fine.
"That's the difference between her and I, and it's just her and it's just me. I think if the world, if everybody was the same, then the world would be a really boring place. Some people like the fact that she's that way, and kind of ornery, and other people have kind of shifted gears and been a little bit thrown back by that, that she's that way."

Había probado otros tipos de azúcar de coco, pero otorgaban un sabor muy fuerte a las preparaciones, se podía disimular cuando se agregaba coco rallado. Este azúcar tiene un aroma acaramelado y su sabor es muy parecido al del azúcar tradicional, de hecho en las preparaciones dulces al horno no percibo ninguna diferencia y no tengo que disimular el sabor con ingredientes extra. Me quedo con esta marca, ya voy en mi segunda compra. Además el precio es muy conveniente, en Chile vale casi el triple.
Love this stuff

I used to bake a lot. Then leaky gut, autoimmune and Lyme diseases caught up with me and my diet became extremely limited. Along with gluten and a host of other things, sugar had to go. However, on special occasions I will still make the effort to do something healthy and gluten-free for myself and this sugar works as well as brown sugar. Maybe a little less sweet, but that doesn't bother me.

I use this sugar as a substitute for regular sugar. I regularly make ice cream and it tastes great. Love the fact it's low GI.

Tonight, our beautiful moon finishes its journey through the extrovert-emotional sign of Sagittarius, which wakes us up to the truth and beckons us to face it or force someone to face it. During this time, you might find yourself feeling your emotions more intensely today! Introverts will be feeling as if they could burst and will feel less likely to talk about it, while extroverts will find themselves ready to burst if they don't talk about it! The issues of today will seem huge, and they may run deep; remember that taking action and getting your thoughts out is the best way to alleviate your emotions.
As always, the Tonight's Moon Phase series is based on Astronomical Astrology, which means happenings are discussed as they are happening in the actual sky. I always encourage everyone to get a hands-on experience with what they are learning in order to get the full scope of knowledge! Go ahead! Step outside and admire the sky! For those living in or around the Austin area, the UT campus is holding Wednesday night viewings! Also, be sure to check out the Full Moon Dates of 2014!
Tonight's Moon Phase - 79% Waning Gibbous
- Moonrise - 12:15 am, May 19, 2014
- Moonset - 10:22 am
- Waning Gibbous - As the light of the moon fades away, so shall the troubles we've been keeping at bay. The Waning Moon is the traditional time to release your problems, habits, and illnesses; simply visualize that as the light leaves the moon, your troubles leave your body! Visualization is key!
- Moon in Sagittarius - Sagittarius is the mutable fire sign of our skies, masculine, powerful, and quickly striking. During this time, things that need to be said and things that need to happen often take the front burner, yet, even when they do, they are said very well. Because of this, we must trust that what is said is for the best and with our best intentions in mind! Sagittarius loves to break down barriers and get to the root of problems, so be open to the change! This is also a great time to point yourself in a new direction, should your life be calling for it!
- Sunday - Sunday sets the tone for the whole week! Today's sun rises and watch over the full week, so push it up with as much beneficial energy and prayers as possible! It's a great day to bring new things into your life, so use that energy to make your world better than it was yesterday!
- Suggested Prayer/Spell Work - All-purpose intention work. Push away and rid yourself of core issues that have come up during this moon phase. Remove writer's block, motivational blockages, and pessimism.

On Tuesday, May 20, 2014, Minneapolis was awarded Super Bowl LII in 2018 as they won out over Indianapolis and New Orleans, per ESPN. Once the announcement was made, the fans of the New Orleans Saints jumped on every social media website imaginable and began throwing anger and blame at NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, but that is just pointless and needs to stop.
Upon the announcement of New Orleans losing out for the first time on a Super Bowl bid, social media lit up with extreme hate for Goodell. The city was previously 10-for-10.
"Goodell had his hand in this. He's the reason New Orleans didn't get the Super Bowl."
"Thanks Commish. It's obvious now that you didn't want another big game here after the black out."
Let it be known that the Minnesota Vikings will have a brand new stadium that is set to open in 2016. Let's also not forget that New Orleans had a Super Bowl in 2013 and Indianapolis had one back in 2012. There are a couple of reasons that Minneapolis may have won out and it wasn't due to Goodell.
Oh yeah, it was also a vote that consisted of the NFL owners and Roger Goodell had nothing to do with the outcome.
Ever since Bountygate went down a couple years ago, the New Orleans Saints' fan base has held nothing back in their hatred for the NFL commissioner. Even though there were a number of people in the Saints organization that owned up to their involvement in the bounty scandal.
From there though, the Saints' fans believe Goodell to be the equivalent of the Antichrist.
Back in March, the NFL banned players from dunking the football over the goal post upon scoring a touchdown. Immediately, the Who Dat Nation jumped all over Roger Goodell and said that he had a personal vendetta against the New Orleans Saints.
Saints' star tight end, and former college basketball player, Jimmy Graham is well known for dunking the football over the goal post when he scores a touchdown.
Last season, Graham did his usual celebration in a Thursday night game against the Atlanta Falcons and all seemed alright at first. That was until his dunk ended up knocking the uprights off balance and causing a game delay while workers fixed them.
While Goodell and the NFL rules committee didn't pinpoint Graham for the rule change, the incident from the Falcons' game did play into the decision. Still, Goodell wasn't targeting the Saints due to his "personal hatred" for them.
The Who Dat Nation being upset over Bountygate was perfectly understandable as Sean Payton was lost for a year and other players were put under much scrutiny, but it wasn't Goodell's fault. Yes, many teams may have had a bounty program in place, but the Saints got busted and an example was made.
It could have happened to any of the 32 NFL teams.
All you have to do is look around the league and see other players that could claim to have been targeted by Goodell. Those include James Harrison, Donte Whitner, Kellen Winslow, and others.
When you do something wrong and you get caught, punishments are going to be handed down. The Saints did something wrong with Bountygate and some were punished, others were not, and it is now in the past.
Roger Goodell has had nothing to do with New Orleans not getting the Super Bowl.
Roger Goodell did not work to change the no goalpost dunking rule just because of Jimmy Graham.
Roger Goodell did not cause Darren Sproles to end up in Philadelphia or Lance Moore to be cut and sign with Pittsburgh. Yes, there were numerous Saints' fans that thought this happened because of the NFL commissioner.
If you don't like him, that's fine. If you're still bitter about Bountygate, that's fine. If you don't like the job he does as commissioner, that's fine. Just stop blaming Roger Goodell for everything that happens regarding professional football and the city of New Orleans.

The best book on the Wars that we have found...
The World Wars is a well illustrated, visually capturing book that draws one into the awful realities of war. My children, ages 4-9 have literally spent hours looking it over, reading parts, and telling us things that they have learned. It isn't something they will read from cover to cover for a while but it has a lot to hold their interest and keep them learning until then.

Apparently winter isn't going anywhere no matter how often we tell it to take a hike. We'll have to step up our defense and march around the house grumbling about the low temps in the Inslee Ballet Slippers ($98) from Jacques Levine. Cozier even than our favorite pair of socks, these suede and silk slippers are lined with ultra-warm shearling and outfitted with a rubber sole. They're soft and sturdy and should see us through a few more battles before spring shows up to save us all.

San Francisco Treat
Mason & Jackson St
San Francisco, CA 94115
+1 415 673 6864 / + 1 510 817 1717 (or 511 in the Bay Area)
Fax: +1 415 923 6166
One of the most admired San Francisco images is the revered cable car gliding up and down the city streets. Back in the late nineteenth century, before the cable system was in place, horse-drawn carts and carriages were the prominent means of transportation around the city. This was a dangerous means of transport, however, as navigating the slick cobblestones of San Francisco's famous hilly streets often resulted in terrible accidents when horses slipped on the wet stones. An Englishman, Andrew Smith Hallidie, developed a new pulley system that used wire rope to pull cars on tracks up and down the streets. The Cable Cars quickly became a popular means of transportation, and today they are still widely used. There are three routes in the city: Powell- Hyde, Powell-Mason, and California Street.
Notes: This is a form of transportation!
Parking Availability: Limited
Notes: Parking varies by cable car locations.

Quick having a spring for the ages
Friday, 05.18.2012 / 1:14 AM | John Kreiser - NHL.com Columnist
Jonathan Quick
is a Vezina Trophy finalist, few people would have mentioned him in the same breath as Hall of Famer
Terry Sawchuk
before the playoffs started. But the two now share an accomplishment that no one else has achieved in a six-decade span.
Quick has won 11 of his 12 starts this spring while leading the
Los Angeles Kings
within one victory of their first trip to the Stanley Cup Final since 1993. The Kings' 2-1 victory Thursday against Phoenix marked the eighth consecutive game in which Quick won without allowing more than two goals. The last goaltender to put together that kind of streak was Sawchuk, who went 8-0 while leading Detroit to a sweep in the 1952 playoffs -- a stretch of brilliance in which he allowed just five goals and posted four shutouts.
Quick hasn't been quite that good -- he allowed 10 goals in the eight wins -- but he's been the best goaltender to take the ice so far this spring. In 12 games, he has 11 wins, a 1.41 goals-against average, a .951 save percentage and two shutouts -- putting him first in all four categories.
In 721 minutes, Quick has allowed just 17 goals on 344 shots.
Daymond Langkow
's goal 1:03 into the second period Thursday ended Quick's shutout streak at 102:58 -- and snapped a streak that had seen the Kings go 364:05 without trailing in a game. The last team to go that long without facing a deficit on the scoreboard was the 2002
Detroit Red Wings
, who went 365:41 without trailing.
Start strong, finish strong -- Another sign of the Kings' dominance: Ten of their 11 victories have come in regulation time. Though 21 of the 74 games this spring have gone into overtime, the Kings have played beyond the third period just once -- their Game 5 win in the first round against the Canucks.
One reason the Kings haven't had to work much extra time --
Jarret Stoll
won their lone overtime game just 4:27 into the extra period -- is because they've outscored their opponents 13-5 in the first period in their 12 games. L.A. has been even better at closing -- the Kings have outscored the opposition 13-4 in the third period.
Rolling an 11 -- As good as the Kings have been, they're just the sixth team to start the playoffs by winning 11 of their first 12 games -- and as the last three of the five previous 11-1 teams have found out, roaring through the first three rounds is no guarantee you'll roll to the Stanley Cup.
The 1983
Edmonton Oilers
, 1995
Detroit Red Wings
and 2008
Pittsburgh Penguins
all equaled the Kings' feat of opening the playoffs by going 11-1 -- the Oilers actually went 12-1 after completing a sweep in the conference finals. None of the three won the Cup, however, and only the '08 Penguins avoided a sweep in the Final.
The two 11-1 teams that did go on to win the Cup were the
Montreal Canadiens
in 1968 and 1976. But both of those teams only played three rounds; the Habs lost just once in 13 games each year on the way to the Cup.
Missing in action -- The Coyotes weren't a robust offensive team during the regular season or the first two rounds of the playoffs. But they've been as dry as the Mojave Desert in the first three games against Los Angeles, scoring just three times in 180 minutes of action while being outshot 116-70.
One Coyote who completely has been shut down is
Ray Whitney
, who led Phoenix with 77 points during the regular season and had six points in the Coyotes' first eight playoff games, including the overtime goal in Game 1 of the conference semifinals. But Whitney has been shut down completely by the Kings, continuing a drought that began in the previous round against Nashville.
Whitney didn't hit the score sheet Thursday, marking the sixth consecutive game in which he's failed to register a point. That's twice as long as his longest regular-season drought -- the 40-year-old didn't go longer than three games without a point while playing all 82 games.

It was the reunion seen 'round the world. 'NSYNC played the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night, prompting everyone from Wiz Khalifa and Birdman to basically the entire Internet to react with excited glee.
The fivesome took the stage at the VMAs to pay homage to Justin Timberlake, who was being honored with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award . And while the 'NSYNC reunion was what JC Chasez calls "the worst-kept secret ever," he called into Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Monday to explain how it all came together.
"You know, it was a matter of time. Everybody would ask us, 'When are you guys going to do something?' " he said hours after the performance. "Literally just a few days ago Justin gave me a buzz. And he said, 'Hey man, listen. I'm getting this award and they have given me a pile of time to perform, and we started our careers at MTV and I think we should get the band back together.' We did just for a minute, though. It really was about him and all that he's accomplished, but he wanted to acknowledge that part of his career, so we all decided to do it."
According to Chasez, it was Timberlake, who also won the award for Video of the Year at the broadcast, who wanted to keep the reunion under wraps before it went live from Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
"When J called me, he's like, 'Let's really make it a treat and let's not tell anybody,' and I was like, 'Deal.' I didn't tell anyone. I was lying to people. Look, if only six or seven people know, nobody's going to be able to find out," he recalled. "I don't know if there are cameras in the ceiling or whatever, but it was unbelievable … we were in rehearsal and Lance [Bass] walked in and said, 'Well, everybody knows now' and there was some kind of Twitter feed and we were like, 'How in the world did they figure it out?!' "
So did it feel like old times after a decade spent apart ? "Literally, two minutes after seeing everybody you feel like no time has passed," said Chasez, who told MTV News in 2009 that he didn't think there would ever be a reunion .
"Essentially everybody has remained the same and we all see each other at different times, but this was the first time we had a rehearsal together in 10 years, so everyone was going, 'Can we go through this one more time slowly?' So that part was pretty funny," he added. "It was great for laughs and we hoped that people enjoyed it."

Several hours later, Johnny arrives in Arizona, and is picked up from the airport by a local Native American named Sam Silvercloud, who is supposed to take the stunt-rider to Copperhead Canyon. Instead, Sam pulls a gun on Blaze, telling him that he won't allow the biker to jump the Canyon. If he makes the jump, then the canyon will never be returned to the indians that are trying to get it back. Silvercloud abandons Blaze in the desert, but not before Johnny is able to retrieve his cycle from the back of the truck. The next morning, Johnny arrives at the Canyon Rodeo grounds and speaks with the rodeo manager, who explains that the local Indians are in an uproar because of a medicine man named Snake-Dance. As they speak, Silvercloud sabotages Blaze's cycle.
That evening, Johnny rides out into the desert toward the Canyon, and while in transit undergoes the transformation into the Ghost Rider. When he makes it to the rim of the canyon, he is attacked by several Native American warriors. After quickly defeating them, Blaze is confronted by Snake-Dance himself, who mystically summons snakes to attack the Rider. Johnny makes it to his bike as the shaman transforms into a giant serpent and gives chase. Realizing the only avenue of escape is to jump the canyon, Blaze takes flight. At that moment, Sam Silvercloud's earlier sabotage causes the Ghost Rider's bike to explode, sending him into a free fall toward the bottom of the canyon.
"End of the Line", Part 1: Angus O'Donnel and his men hijack a train. When the Phantom Rider approaches, Floyd and Red jump off the train. William startles Angus, who accidently kills the train's mailman. Phantom Rider attacks and Angus takes young William hostage.
This issue also included an all-new back-up story featuring the old western Ghost Rider, Carter Slade, now re-named the Phantom Rider as of West Coast Avengers # 19.
The synopsis for the Phantom Rider story comes from Ghost Rider: The Official Index to the Marvel Universe.

Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
Paul Whiteman, the 1920s' favorite bandleader, introduced jazz to millions. To critics and historians, however, popularity is anathema, and their backlash shredded Whiteman's reputation. Nowadays he's a joke. Online music provider Rhapsody, for example, while offering few of his tracks, sarcastically quips that Whiteman "could make Laurence [sic] Welk look like a crazed beatnik tripping the light fantastic on reefer and cough medicine." And since RCA has never shown Whiteman the comprehensive reissue respect accorded to fellow Victor artists Ellington and Waller, listeners are stuck with wisecracks. "I'm Coming Virginia" cannot by itself redeem Whiteman, but it trounces witless witticisms.

Instagram. That, plus the negative-10-degree wind chill we had here today, makes me want to leave for Austin right this minute! Although, since I'm not even close to being packed, I guess it's a good thing I'm not.
Anyway. In addition to getting ready for QuiltCon, a major WIP is getting underway today at our house: We're remodeling two of our three bathrooms. When we bought this house, we knew it would be a full redo, and that it would take us a long time to get to all of it. More than eight years later, these two bathrooms are among the last things on the list!
In honor of this momentous occasion, I have a special treat for you all today: The ultimate bathroom "before" pictures, taken before we moved into the house eight years ago. These pictures were taken during our walk-through right before we closed, so please note that the knick-knacks and foofaraw are totally not mine.
Powder room:
Upstairs guest/kid bathroom:
We've obviously made a few minor changes since these photos were taken. : ) Things like taking down the wallpaper from the ceiling. (That was a fun couple of days.) But you guys, I've hated that seashell sink for eight years! Seashell sink meets dumpster today. And I arrive in Austin tomorrow. That's a pretty good week in my book.
Can't wait to see some of you in person at QuiltCon. For those who won't be there, I'm sure I'll be Instagramming like crazy, so you can follow the action there, and I'll be back with a full report on the blog next week.

Undocumented minors speak in Congressional hearing
WASHINGTON, DC - Undocumented minors who made the dangerous journey from Central America to the United States are speaking out for the very first time.
For an hour and a half, the three teens told their stories about why they made the long journey to the United States.
"I left with my sister. I was trying to escape from a man who was trying to hurt me," said Dolce Medena, who came from Guatemala.
RELATED: Hundreds of undocumented immigrants dropped off in Phoenix, Tucson
Medena told Democratic lawmakers that an immigration judge has already granted her permission to stay because the judge felt it would be too dangerous for her to return.
The two others that testified recently crossed and were part of the influx.
"I watched two men get murdered. I was afraid they would do that to me," said one girl who came in July 2013.
"I was riding my bike in El Salvador, selling tamales in a neighborhood when MS 13 told me if they ever saw me in the neighborhood again, they would kill me, said one boy who came in April 2014.
All three reunited with their families.
The testimony comes the same day House Republicans review their plan to deal with the immigration crisis in Southern Texas.
Part of the more than $600 million in funding would go to put National Guard troops down at the border.

Given the location of your cyst, this might not be an option for you (e.g. for someone whose job involves typing), and you might be better off with a surgical intervention; however, from my personal experience, the risk of nerve damage and the time the finger will be out of commission might be better served just preventing use of the hand for the same priod of time a surgical recovery would require.
Obviously, you should consult your doctor, and maybe get a second opinion, if your doctor is less than helpful, since if the cause of the problem remains untreated, it's not going to go away on its own, and could get worse.
Good luck!

Wow - that's so frustrating! I'd get a different surgeon! I still have the lump in my finger. My primary care physician did an x-ray then referred me to a different plastic surgeon. Of course, this is an HMO, so the x-ray was not available on the system that is supposed to contain all x-rays (apparently it works for most sites except the one I got the x-ray done at).
This plastic surgeon hypothosized that I don't have a cyst but some kind of tumor (he told me the kind, but did not write it down, and my memory was not good enough to find anything in Google afterwards). He still tried to burst it, in case it was a cyst, but nothing happend! So now I have a tumor stuck in my finger that is "probably" benign.
Totally see a different surgeon this time - any doctor that could be that rude when he made a mistake isn't worth going back to. Yikes!
good luck!

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
It's been a "hot" year for biotech! As G. Steven Burrill, CEO of Burrill & Co., noted in a recent report, life science firms raised $2.9 billion in new equity capital globally from public investors in February. This included $1.1 billion raised by 18 companies that completed initial public offerings and $1.8 billion raised by 23 companies that completed follow-on offerings during the month.
In the U.S., 16 life sciences companies raised $959 million through IPOs and 22 companies raised $1.75 billion through follow-on offerings on U.S. exchanges during February, making the month the biggest for IPOs in terms of the number of completed deals since February 2000!
Why the excitement? Promising new biotherapeutics are emerging from the drug pipeline. Advances in stem cell research and regenerative medicine are occurring at a rapid pace. And OMICS technologies (e.g., genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, glycomics, and lipomics), originally developed and used in the lab, are now making their way into clinical medicine, truly ready to usher in an era of personalized medicine.
The 2014 BIO International Convention will be held in San Diego this June. As usual, the BIO conference committee did a superb job in putting together a first-class program that covers a wide range of topics with something to offer everyone involved in biotech R&D or commercialization. It's been a tough call this year but here are my picks for the top 10 "can't miss" sessions at the conference.

A pickup driver was taken to a hospital Thursday night after he crashed into the rear of a parked semi-trailer loaded with large concrete median barriers on state Highway 500.
Vancouver firefighters were called to the highway's eastbound lanes just past the Interstate 5 northbound exit at 7:55 p.m., said Firefighter-paramedic Kevin Stromberg.
The loaded semi-trailer had been parked on the right side shoulder, and the driver of a 2005 Ford F-150 pickup slammed into its rear at high speed. The pickup then spun around, its front passenger area demolished and its driver door twisted shut.
Firefighters told police to block all eastbound lanes for their own safety They used heavy hydraulic tools to remove the driver door and freed the driver. If he'd had a front seat passenger, that person likely would have been killed, Stromberg said.
The driver appeared to have only minor injuries but AMR ambulance paramedics took him to a hospital to be checked because of the high-speed impact.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Richard Bettger said later that, after an investigation, he will mail a ticket to the pickup driver, Randy L. Ridenhour, 55, of Vancouver for alleged DUI and driving on an improved shoulder.
Ridenhour was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center for lacerations and bruises to his arms and a check for possible other injuries, the trooper said.
Trooper Bettger said signs where the accident occurred warned drivers that the speed limit slowed from 60 mph to 45 mph, that the right lane ahead was closed and that they drivers must merge left.
Bettger said he also will mail a ticket to the semi-trailer driver, Ferron S. Pope, 42, of Dallas, Ore., for second-degree negligent driving.
With his load of concrete barriers to be used nearby in the construction zone, Pope had parked his truck with its left wheels on the fogline and he could have pulled over farther to the right. Pope said he'd been parked there about 20 minutes.
Pope, who was sitting in his tractor's cabin when it was rear-ended, also failed to get out and put a warning triangle behind his trailer, Bettger said.
Since the two improper parking violations led to a collision, the second-degree negligent driving was justified, the trooper said.
Second-degree negligent driving is used when a person is not impaired. If impaired, it becomes more serious first-degree negligent driving.

Last night on Jan. 7, Examiner.com was on the red carpet at the 2014 National Board Of Review Awards Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street. We had the opportunity to exclusively interview "20 Feet from Stardom" director Morgan Neville. The film was listed as one of the "Top 5 Documentaries" of the years.
How did you get involved with the film?
My producer Gil Friesen, had gone to a Leonard Cohen concert, while under the influence of marijuana, if you really want to know the real story and kept staring at the backup singers and said what's their story that's the question he kept asking. I met him and he said let's find out what the story is. We interviewed over 80 backup singers and spent a couple of years making the film and we premiered it a year ago next week. So it's been amazing!
The film has had such a warm reception. Can you reflect on that?
It's the number one documentary of the year in the box office which is incredible. You make a film like this kind of isolated for a couple of years and you don't know if people are gonna like it. We hadn't shown it to an audience until the premiere opening night at Sundance. There were 1200 people there clapping and the singers were there in attendance they hadn't seen the film before, and from that moment on it's just been that kind of warm reception from the audience. I think people see something of themselves in these stories.
Can you speak about wrangling all the talent? There are a lot of rock stars featured.
We did, but when you're trying to get a Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger or Sting or whomever to be in your film, they're talking about people they know and love and have worked with for years. For them they're talking about people, they understand more than anybody what the backup singer does. So it was important to get their points of views in and they were all really happy to do it.
How did you get your start in filmmaking?
I used to be a journalist. I wrote for the Bay Guardian in San Francisco. I had an idea for a documentary started making it and never looked back. I been doing it ever since.
What is your latest project?
I'm doing a film with YoYo Ma right now, it's a little different, but we're shooting all over the Middle East. I was just in China with him. So it will be interesting. It's a music film but a very different music film.

Softball Blanks La Salle In Doubleheader
March 30, 2002
Amherst, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts softball team swept La Salle University 8-0 and 9-0 this afternoon as it forced two mercy-rule victories.
In game one, the Minutewomen got a run on board in the third inning as junior Brandi Cross (Diamond Bar, Calif.) crushed a single into right field, scoring senior Ashley Bakken (Phoenix, Ariz.) from second base.
UMass added four more runs in the fifth inning on three hits and an Explorer error. Sophomore Aisha Franke (Philadelphia, Pa.) led off the rally with a single through the right side. A La Salle error and a walk to junior Emily Robustelli (Stamford, Conn.) loaded the bases with no outs. Senior Teri Rooney (Visalia, Calif.) then delivered a drive to the left-center fence, scoring three runs and giving Rooney her fourth triple of the season. Cross followed with a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Rooney.
The Minutewomen scored three more runs in the sixth to force the mercy-rule (eight-run lead after the fifth inning) and take the 8-0 victory. UMass loaded the bases with three consecutive bunts by junior Anna Perey (Chino Valley, Ariz.), Franke and Bakken. After a force play to home, Rooney blasted a single to right field, scoring Franke and Bakken. Senior Scooter Wheeler (Kingsburg, Calif.) continued the hitting spree with a single through the right side, scoring Robustelli and giving the Minutewomen the 8-0 win.
Junior hurler Kaila Holtz (North Vancouver, British Columbia) recorded the win as she allowed two hits and struck out five.
In the second half of the twinbill, UMass quickly got on board, scoring two runs in the first inning. Robustelli kicked off the inning with a double down the left field line. Rooney followed with a double of her own as the La Salle center fielder lost the ball in the sun. Cross then hit into a fielder's choice, scoring both Robustelli and Rooney.
UMass extended its lead in the second frame, scoring five runs on two hits. Freshman Denise Denis (Middle Grove, N.Y.) laced a triple to the right center gap, scoring freshman pinch runner Hilary Puglia (Stoneham, Mass.) and Perey. After a walk and a fielder's choice, Rooney singled to right field, plating Denis and Bakken. A ground out by Cross, scored Robustelli to give UMass the 7-0 edge.
The Minutewomen then added single runs in the third and fourth innings. In the third, Perey scored from third as Denis was caught stealing second. In the fourth frame, sophomore KC Budrewicz (Buckland, Mass.) recorded her first collegiate hit with a leadoff triple and scored on a La Salle error.
Senior Jennifer Hadley (Bristol, Conn.) earned the win, scattering two hits and striking out one over five innings.
The Minutewomen improve to 20-10 overall and 5-0 in the Atlantic 10 as the Explorers slip to 8-17 overall and 0-5 in the A-10. UMass and La Salle finish the weekend series with a single-game tomorrow at Noon.

MEDINA — A Florida man accused of planning to kill his ex-girlfriend pleaded guilty to attempted murder Wednesday, the second day of his trial.
Medina County Prosecutor Dean Holman said George Mose was given the minimum sentence of three years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of attempted murder and one count of attempted aggravated burglary.
Mose, 46, already has served more than a year in the Medina County Jail since Brunswick police arrested him in November 2009. He will be released in November 2012 and will be forbidden from re-entering Ohio. He also cannot have any contact with the victim or her family.
Holman said the victim, a married Brunswick woman who used to date Mose, was scheduled to testify Wednesday and was emotional.
"She didn't want to go into court. She didn't want to look at him. She didn't want to be in the same room as him," Holman said.
He said Mose and his lawyer, Kevin Dunn, came to prosecutors and offered a plea in exchange for the recommendation of a three-year sentence.
Dunn could not be reached for comment Wednesday evening.
"We had a solid case. There's no guarantee what the jury wanted to do. We did this because this is what the victim wanted," Holman said.
In his opening statements Tuesday, Holman said Mose had a romantic relationship with the 49-year-old Brunswick woman that ended in March 2009.
He said Mose was depressed for several months afterward and detailed a plan to his roommates to kill the woman and then commit suicide.
According to Holman, Mose said he would show up at her door disguised as a balloon delivery man in order to gain entry to her home.
Mose's friends reportedly began to worry when Mose took three days off work and disappeared Nov. 3, 2009. They called Brunswick police Nov. 4 and told dispatchers Mose was en route to Brunswick to kill the woman.
Brunswick officers found Mose at about 2 a.m. Nov. 5, 2009, in the parking lot of Express Inn, 1385 S. Carpenter Road. He had 24 balloons and a clipboard, but no weapon.
An employee of Alternative Paths, a community mental health agency in Medina, testified Wednesday that during an evaluation Mose confessed his plans to kill his ex-girlfriend by strangling her.

This blog was created to keep our expanding audience informed about what is going on in the world of Open Textbooks and related topics. Please read and enjoy the posts. You are encouraged to add any comments that add to the discussion.
With the passing of Steve Jobs, I had time to reflect on the painful lug of my then newly purchased Apple Macintosh around the UCLA campus during my senior finals week back in 1986. I remember shouting over a blasting boom-box about the futuristic power of personal computing as my classmates skeptically eyed me typing on the glowing box while they frantically hit return on their typewriters amidst bottles of whiteout on desks piled high with expensive textbooks.
Today, I write this blog from an iPad the size of a composition book while listening to Pandora and watching my email annoyingly pop up as past college friends Tweet the latest gossip or post updates on Facebook. I think few realize that Steve Jobs gave us the future back in the 1980′s. But there is one constant relic that somehow persists as a reminder that we have yet to reach Steve Jobs' vision for the future. THE EXPENSIVE COLLEGE TEXTBOOK. That book still sits on the desks of over 20 million college students today, right beside their iPods, iPads, and the plethora of e-devices glowing with the social rants pouring out of Facebook and Twitter.
Today we have the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, but what we really need is the iTextbook—and it should cost students under $30. Steve Jobs created NEXT, a great company, but today we need somebody to complete his vision for education by pushing every college and university to make the final transition into what I call the "NextBook" era, removing the unnecessary weight on the wallets and backs of our college students.
I left the California Legislature to head up a new non-profit, the 20 Million Minds Foundation (20MM). Our goal? To completely disrupt a complacent and lucrative textbook publishing industry by asking the simple question: do we really need bounded, heavy, overpriced copy-write protected books in today's ebook, ibook, and Nextbook environment?
Just days ago, 20MM and powerhouse educational software company Kno, released our answer to that important question by announcing a new digitally enhanced NextBook for college students based on open content. We have our eyes set on producing open source NextBooks for the top 25 undergraduate courses in the nation, starting with general statistics. Why? Consider that in our California Community Colleges, nearly 120,000 students take general statistics EVERY year with an average new book price of $150—that is an estimated cost of $10 to $15 million per year for just one course!
Our next step at 20MM is to empower our faculty. Beyond offering professors NextBooks, 20MM will focus on the reusing, redistributing, revising and remixing capabilities of e-textbook material, utilizing faculty's unique talents and expertise. Who wouldn't take quality, customized, and student-centric material enhanced by the instructor over a high-cost, standardized, static, and closed publication?
Clearly, we understand that as we move toward this type of customization, the major issues will be quality and built-in assessment. Our statistics Web 2.0 NextBook is better than statistics books out on the market given it is specifically designed for college students to improve their learning experience and results with built in assessment capacities. We are partnering with assessment companies like BenchPrep so that every open source NextBook in our library of 25 has assessment as its lifeblood.
According to the latest report by the social learning platform Xplana, within the next five years digital textbook sales will surpass 25% of sales for the higher education and career education markets. But even with the changing winds, enhanced academic freedom, creative assessment tools, and a price point under $30, our major challenge remains. Will faculty adopt these books for use in their classrooms? We may have the best free and open general statistics e-book on the market, but will faculty place it on the syllabus the first day of class?
Much like those skeptical past college friends in 1986 who stared at the glowing box during finals week, I am confident that our faculty can get past the incertitude and finish the next chapter of the revolution Steve Jobs helped usher in decades ago. They just need to say yes to the future and embrace it as their own.
