Definition of Bone Cancer
Cancer that begins in the cartilage is alleged primary cartilage cancer. Primary cartilage blight is almost aberrant in allegory with accessory or metastatic blight (cancer that occurs initially in addition agency and again spreads to cartilage tissue).
Your body is made up of many small structures called cells. There are many different types of cells that grow to form the different parts of your body. During normal growth and development, these cells continuously grow, divide, and make new cells. This process continues throughout life even after you are no longer growing. The cells continue to divide and make new cells to replace old and damaged cells. In a healthy person, the body is able to control the growth and division of cells according to the needs of the body.
Cancer is when this normal control of cells is lost and the cells begin to grow and divide out of control. The cells also become abnormal and have altered functions in patients with cancer. The cancer cells can become very destructive to the surrounding cells.
Description of Cartilage Cancer

One of the tips to prevent bone cancer is to be aware of the risk factors. A Harvard University report published in Cancer Causes and Control in 2006 stated that men who drink fluorinated water were at a higher risk of developing osteosarcoma. The report also concluded that high amounts of fluorine in water did not affect girls and the problem of bone cancer was common in people below the age of 20 years.

Athens used less water during the most recent University of Georgia home football last Saturday than the city did on gamedays last year - even when the Bulldogs played in some other city.
The crowds that descend on Athens for UGA football games cause a surprisingly small spike in water use. On average, about 2 million gallons more water is used on a home-game Saturday than on away or bye weekends, according to Athens-Clarke Public Utilities Department figures.
The statistics run contrary to calls by some Athens residents to save water by canceling home football games during perhaps the worst drought in Georgia history.
"Football games just don't make as big of a difference as people think they do," Athens-Clarke County government spokeswoman Sandi Turner said.
Water consumption always is lower on weekends than weekdays, Turner said. Also, because not all fans are from out of town and many Athenians leave the city on gamedays, the population doesn't rise all that much, she said.
About 11.6 million gallons of water were pumped into the system last Saturday, a 2 million gallon increase over Oct. 27, when thousands of students traveled to watch UGA beat the University of Florida in Jacksonville, but a million gallons less than Oct. 20, a bye week.
Athens also is using millions of gallons less water on both home and away weekends than it did in 2006. Consumption is down an average of 12 percent on home gamedays this year compared to last year, and 20 percent on away or bye dates.
Much of the drop came after Athens-Clarke County declared a total outdoor watering ban Sept. 14. People also are becoming more aware of the drought, Turner said.
"We attribute that to consciousness about water and general conservation on all days," she said.
In an effort to save water, many of the downtown Athens bars and restaurants frequented by fans are serving drinks in paper cups that don't have to be washed, and some also are serving meals on paper plates.
The university still is crafting its own conservation policy but already has taken some actions, including telling fans not to flush the urinals at Sanford Stadium and employing restroom attendants to flush them only when necessary.
UGA officials are unsure how much water the new restroom policy is saving because usage hasn't been tracked in the past, associate athletic director Arthur Johnson said. The policy hasn't drawn any complaints from fans and will continue, Johnson said.
"It's something we're intending to do the rest of the season," he said.

College Hockey:Miami Edges Ohio State In Regular-Season Capper
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A one-goal game between the Buckeyes and RedHawks? Who knew?
Miami beat Ohio State, 2-1, taking three points from the Buckeyes in this weekend's home-and-home series and capping the regular-season, four-game set with a 2-0-2 record.
It was actually the fifth game between the two teams in 45 days, dating back to their first home-and-home series in early December and including the title game of the Ohio Hockey Classic Dec. 30, which the Buckeyes won.
"It was a hard-fought battle both ways," said Miami head coach Enrico Blasi. "I looked at their bench, I looked at our bench, and nobody had anything left.
"It's what Ohio State-Miami has become over the last five years. It's gut-wrenching for both sides, but it brings the best out of both teams. It's just a fun atmosphere."
Miami captain Ryan Jones and Ohio State's Tommy Goebel each had first-period goals a few minutes apart, and after a scoreless middle frame, Ray Eichenlaub opened the third with his game-winning marker at 1:38. It was Eichenlaub's third point of the weekend, after he earned two helpers in Friday's 4-4 tie in Columbus.
This fifth game of the year was rougher than any of the other four, and certainly chippier than Friday's contest, the third period of which saw no penalties assessed. In the last period of this game, the Buckeyes had four power plays to none for the RedHawks, but were unable to generate much in the way of opportunities.
"We did a good job keeping them to the outside," said Miami goaltender Jeff Zatkoff, who made 26 saves in his 10th win of the season. "They got the majority of their shots on the power play, but I thought our kill did a great job tonight. All around, I don't think we gave them many chances."
Jones' 17th goal of the season gave the 'Hawks the early lead at 2:57 in the first on a scrambled play in front of the OSU net. Nathan Davis took the puck into the zone and was knocked off the play by OSU's Matt McIlvane. The puck came to Dane Hetland — playing his first shift since Nov. 25 — who took two big whacks at it, one of which rebounded to Jones. Jones tucked the puck in behind Buckeye goaltender Joseph Palmer near the left post for the 1-0 advantage.
As has been typical in this series, the lead didn't last long. The only Buckeye goal was a direct result of a bad bounce in front of the Miami net. RedHawk Marty Guerin gloved down a pass from the corner high in the slot but the puck wound up on Tommy Goebel's tape in the right circle. Goebel fired and beat Zatkoff clean for his eighth of the season at 5:06.
Eichenlaub's game-winner was the end result of an odd-man rush, a clean shot from the right circle at 1:38 in the third. The sophomore defenseman was modest about his fourth goal of the year.
"It's just another weekend," said Eichenlaub. "The players had a lot to do about it. Our team was really connecting this weekend, so do what I can to help out the team this weekend."
Moments before Eichenlaub's goal, the Buckeyes had an odd-man rush of their own at the other end, with Bryce Anderson shooting from the right circle and catching at least the inside of the right post. It was the rush the other way that led to the Miami game-winner, and OSU head coach John Markell was not happy that Anderson's shot was not reviewed by the officials.
"Why do we have video equipment? It puts everybody at ease," said Markell. "Just walk in the booth and look at the video. That's all you have to do."
Zatkoff said he couldn't tell whether the puck was in or not. "I thought it hit the right post and bounced back out. That's as far as I know."
Markell was quick to point out that while a timely goal to begin the third period would have helped, the non-call wasn't the reason the Buckeyes lost. "Our power play in the third period let us down. We had a number of opportunities. I thought we were a little bit off in the first period for whatever reason. Zatkoff stood tall, but we've got to score those goals, especially this time of year."
The Buckeyes finished the game 0-for-6 on the power play, while the RedHawks were 0-for-4. Palmer had 30 saves in the loss.
The loss snapped Ohio State's six-game unbeaten streak.
Next weekend, the Buckeyes (9-10-5, 7-7-4 CCHA) travel to Sault Ste. Marie to face Lake Superior State, while the RedHawks (18-8-2, 13-5-2 CCHA) head to South Bend to battle for first place with league-leading Notre Dame.

Working in the first Intensvie Care Unit
Mary Anne Murphy Palermo Nursing graduate, employee (1957-1963) ICU
After graduation in 1960, I worked in the ICU, the 1st one in
the city, as I recall. It was very primitive by today's standards: 2
rooms, 546 , a 2 bed room, & 548, a 4 bed room, were outfitted with extra equipment, the bathroom in between served as the nurses' station.
There were no cardiac monitors, but there was a blood pressure cuff at each bed & a crash cart in the room. With a high nurse-patient ratio, I felt I could give good nursing care. As a student, I also remember taking care of some of the 1st kidney dialysis patients. Dr. Tony Talamus was experimenting with a huge dialysis machine, like a big tub with many
tubes & fluids.
Several doctors & nurses were required for the

E-cigarettes are not associated with more smokers quitting, reduced consumption. Too many high-school students are being lured into smoking by names such as "hookah pens," "e-hookahs" or "vape pipes," according to the NY Times article, "E-Cigarettes, by Other Names, Lure Young and Worry Experts."
And too many young children, usually toddlers or preschool age kids are poisoning themselves by drinking the brightly colored e-cigarette nicotine liquids their parents use to refill e-cigarettes, according to the NY Times article, "Selling a Poison by the Barrel: Liquid Nicotine for E-Cigarettes."
The NY Times article explains that toxicologists warn that e-liquids pose a significant risk to public health, particularly to children. Liquid nicotine also can be absorbed through the skin and poison someone that way as well as swallowing, even if diluted.
You may wish to check out the March 24, 2014 video with the NY Times article, "Video: The Science and Future of E-Cigarettes." In the NY Times article, evidence is presented of the emerging dangers of e-liquids.
When liquid nicotine is perfumed with fragrant chocolate, cherry, and bubble gum flavors and bright colors, kids are drawn to the liquid
It's toxic, and can be fatal to children if swallowed or absorbed by the skin if it gets on the hands or other parts of the body. The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) by smokers is not associated with greater rates of quitting cigarettes or reduced cigarette consumption after one year, says a recent study from the University of California, San Francisco. Researchers found that more women, younger adults and people with less education used e-cigarettes. E-cigarette use at baseline was not associated with quitting one year later or with a change in cigarette consumption, says the recent study.
In the study, "E-Cigarettes Not Associated With More Smokers Quitting, Reduced Consumption," published online March 24, 2014 in The JAMA Network Journals, according to the March 24, 2014 news release, "E-cigarettes not associated with more smokers quitting, reduced consumption," researchers found that more women, younger adults and people with less education used e-cigarettes. E-cigarette use at baseline was not associated with quitting one year later or with a change in cigarette consumption.
The authors acknowledge the low numbers of e-cigarette users in the study may have limited their ability to detect an association between e-cigarettes use and quitting, according to the recent study from the University of California, San Francisco, where researchers have found that the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) by smokers is not associated with greater rates of quitting cigarettes or reduced cigarette consumption after one year.
The authors acknowledge the low numbers of e-cigarette users in the study may have limited their ability to detect an association between e-cigarettes use and quitting. Author of the recent study, "E-Cigarettes Not Associated With More Smokers Quitting, Reduced Consumption," is Rachel A. Grana, Ph.D., M.P.H., and colleagues from the University California, San Francisco.
And in a related editor's note to the study, Mitchell H. Katz, M.D., a deputy editor of JAMA Internal Medicine, writes: "Unfortunately, the evidence on whether e-cigarettes help smokers to quit is contradictory and inconclusive. Grana and colleagues increase the weight of evidence indicating that e-cigarettes are not associated with higher rates of smoking cessation." You also may wish to see other "JAMA Internal Medicine Releases for March 24, 2014."
E-cigarettes are promoted as smoking cessation tools, but studies of their effectiveness have been unconvincing
The authors in the study published in The JAMA Network Journals analyzed self-reported data from 949 smokers (88 of the smokers used e-cigarettes at baseline) to determine whether e-cigarettes were associated with more successful quitting or reduced cigarette consumption.
"Nonetheless, our data add to the current evidence that e-cigarettes may not increase rates of smoking cessation. Regulations should prohibit advertising claiming or suggesting that e-cigarettes are effective smoking cessation devices until claims are supported by scientific evidence," the researchers explain, according to the March 24, 2014 news release, "E-cigarettes not associated with more smokers quitting, reduced consumption."
The wish of numerous researchers is that if only e-cigarettes were effective smoking cessation devices
Are they, really? Or do they simply draw in more youth to try smoking? After all, it's not chocolate cigarettes dangling from lips, it's liquid nicotine vapors, and nicotine is a neurotoxin and addictive, say numerous researchers.
People can buy the stimulant liquid nicotine online by the vial, gallon, or barrel, says the NY Times article. Liquid nicotine is extracted from tobacco and tinctured with a cocktail of flavorings, colorings and assorted chemicals to feed the fast-growing electronic cigarette industry. In the industry they're called e-liquids for e-cigarettes.
The neurotoxin, when absorbed through the skin can be lethal, with symptoms of vomiting and seizures
A teaspoon of the liquid even when highly diluted can kill a child. What's problematic as far as health trends is that the e-liquids at the present time are not regulated by the government, and neither are e-cigarettes regulated. They also can be legally sold in stores or online. Usually, the liquid comes in small bottles and is used to refill e-cigarettes.
Sure, the adds usually say you can take back your freedom with e-cigarettes, but that freedom to put neurotoxins in your body can be deadly. Who needs to get hooked on nicotine? For decades people have tried to dissuade kids from smoking as soon as they reached adolescence.
The future of e-cigarettes: Too many young children are attracted to the containers of liquid nicotine that can be fatal to them if absorbed by the skin or swallowed, even when diluted
Smokers' bitter taste buds may be on the fritz
Could this be a reason why more intense tastes are appearing such as having more salt, sugar, and fat added to foods to make them taste more than flat? Bitterness can generally be tasted at very low concentrations, but not so for those who light up, according to a new study, "Differential perception of caffeine bitter taste depending on smoking status," recently published in the journal Chemosensory Perception. Authors are Jacob, N. et al (2014).
Smokers and those who have quit cannot fully appreciate the full flavor of a cup of coffee, because many cannot taste the bitterness of their regular caffeine kick. This is the finding of a study led by Nelly Jacob of the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital APHP in France, published in Springer's journal Chemosensory Perception.
It's already known that smoking, and especially the toxic chemicals in tobacco, causes a loss of taste among smokers
It also causes structural changes to the fungiform papillae of the tongue where the taste buds are located. However, it is not yet known whether the full taste range returns to normal once a person quits smoking, or how long it takes.
To extend knowledge on the matter, Jacob and her colleagues therefore tested the ability of 451 staff from Parisian hospitals to recognize the four basic tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty, as well as the intensity of each taste. The participants were grouped into smokers, non-smokers and people who had quit smoking. The voluntary tests were conducted over the course of three consecutive "World No-Tobacco Days."
Researchers found that smoking status had no influence on a person's ability to recognize salty, sweet or sour tastes
It did however have an effect on people's ability to taste the bitter taste of caffeine. The bitter receptors in the tongue are generally able to detect this taste in very low concentrations. However, one in every five smokers (19.8 percent) could not correctly recognize the taste, while the same happened one in every four times (26.5 percent) that former smokers were put to the test. Only 13.4 percent of non-smokers could not correctly identify the bitter samples they were asked to taste.
The researchers believe that the accumulation in the body of some tobacco or combustion products may hamper the regeneration of taste buds, and therefore still impair a person's ability to recognize certain tastes even after they have stopped smoking.
"We consider that the perception of bitter taste should be examined more closely, both as a tool for smoking cessation or for preventing smoking initiation. More generally, it should be worthwhile to consider the role of chemosensory perceptions in smoking behavior." says Jacob, according the March 24, 2014 news release, "Smokers' bitter taste buds may be on the fritz."

Do you pay brand-name prices for
Benadryl, when you can buy its active ingredient,
diphenhydramine, for at least 25 percent less?
When it comes to nonprescription drugs, you can
save a ton of money by shopping around if you
know the brand-name drug's active ingredient.

It's early, but there leader in a clubhouse to replace longtime Late Show host David Letterman when he steps down next year is none other than Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, according to a report today from Mashable.
But would the host of the aptly named The Colbert Report ditch the satirical conservative character that he's most known for in order to step into Letterman's shoes? One source told the website yes.
Colbert has at times, albeit rarely, broken character, but has never done so during his the half-hour variety show that follows The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
In fact, the conservative caricature that Colbert perfected as a correspondent for Stewart's show, before he started hosting the spinoff in 2005, has garnered The Colbert Report three writing Emmys and one outstanding variety series Emmy, won last year last year to break The Daily Show's decade-long winning streak in the category.
But sources told the website that Colbert, who according to the report is a friend and admirer of Letter, is interested in taking the gig.
Conveniently, Colbert's contract with Comedy Central runs out at the end of this year, just before Letterman's slated to retire, though no specific date has been set for the host's final Late Show.
Colbert could, however, see some stiff competition for the job, as other rumored candidates include The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson host Craig Ferguson and How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris.
Predictably both CBS and Comedy Central did not comment to the website about the rumors.

Miley Cyrus is killing two birds with one stone these days, as she claims dating two men at the same time.
The Hannah Montana star says she''s spoilt for choice dating Aussie hunk Liam Hemsworth – and pint-sized singer Justin Bieber.
"I have my travel-size boyfriend and I have my oversized security boyfriend. It''s perfect!" The Sun quoted her as saying.
The teen sensation might face bust-ups with Bieber Fever brigade if she isn't careful –just as Kim Kadarshian who was threatened by death mails from Justin fans after posing with him for a pic.
Miley met Liam, 20, in 2009 while filming The Last Song together.
The former Neighbours actor reportedly ended his relationship of five years to be with Miley.

Renew America Success Stories
The Jefferson Parish Christmas Tree/Marsh Restoration Program was created in 1991 as an innovative way to address two environmental problems at once. Not only does the program protect and restore threatened marshland and wetlands along the Louisiana coast, but it diverts thousands of discarded Christmas trees that otherwise would wind up in the solid waste stream.
Every year, due to the effects of erosion, Louisiana has been losing an astonishing 30 to 50 square miles of wetlands from its coasts -- a number so large it accounts for 80% of the entire nation's wetland losses. This staggering loss has had serious environmental consequences. The buffer zone that protects inland urban areas from storm surges has been reduced and effective filtration of urban runoff has been diminished. Most important to a state that relies heavily on its fishing industry, the "nursery grounds" for many commercially harvested species, such as shrimp and crabs, have been threatened.
Through the program, volunteers in cooperation with environmental organizations, corporation and local, state and federal agencies are helping to stop the erosion and to actually rebuild the marshes through the strategic placement of discarded Christmas trees in shoreline fences and dead-end canals. Bundles of trees placed in the marshes enable sediment to collect, restoring shorelines and the trees serve as natural lattices upon which the constituents of a floating marsh can become established.
In addition to helping restore the area's wetlands and marshes, the program has served to educate local area residents about the value of Louisiana's wetlands. Recently, residents voted to establish a statewide tax to create a Wetlands Trust Fund that will work to restore coastal Louisiana.
The project relies heavily on strong corporate sponsorship and a huge volunteer effort. Because it gives people a real "hands on" experience in environmental protection, the program has gained popularity and participation in the project has become part of the holiday season for many New Orleans area residents and businesses. Typically, 300 - 500 volunteers will show up to work weekends bundling trees for placement in the marsh. So popular is the program that one year sugarcane farmers from neighboring parishes transported trees to Jefferson using trucks that had been idled by the end of the growing season.
Program Highlights
Program Management/Partnerships: The Jefferson Parish Christmas Tree/Marsh Restoration Program is managed by Jefferson Parish. Partnerships have been formed with the Louisiana Wildlife Federation, Women for a Better Louisiana, the Sierra Club, the League of Women Voters, the Young Leadership Council, Louisiana Wetlands Trust Fund, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Texaco, Exxon, BFI and others.
Budget: $78,000 annually in funding and in-kind donations, including a $33,000 state grant, a $5,000 grant from Exxon, $20,000 in barge and tugboat services from Texaco, $5,000 in tree collection services from BFI and $5,000 in Parish funds.
Community Served: The entire metropolitan area and surrounding parishes, which comprise more than one million people.

The staff was super friendly and helpfull. The prime location on longstreet, however, also means a lot of noise from the street (partypeople noise and cars revving their engines at 3am, and that almost every night). The windows are paperthin and didn't prevent cold or noise coming in. But if you want to party all night, it's a perfect location. and the showers are divine, at least on the top floor.

- Awesome RED napkins.Review by Carolyn
Purchased a dozen to use for a high school reunion. School colors were red and white. Placed these at an angle so they were diamond shaped on the white rectangular polyester tablecloths. Perfect shade of red and made the buffet and side tables "pop" with color. Wish I had purchased two dozen as I could have used more so I purchased another dozen for our next reunion (which is in 5 years). The second set of napkins matched the first ones perfectly. The few spots/stains on the napkins washed right out with a spot remover (green bottle w/ red letters) and regular liquid detergent in cold water. Very nice, quality item and the hemmed edges make for a classier look.(Posted on 8/25/12)
- Beautiful Red!Review by Amy
I ordered these for an upcoming wedding, and was very pleased with my purchase. The fabric is of very nice quality, and the red is a true, vibrant red which is beautiful and perfect for the event. The folded over, stitched hem is a very nice finish to these as well, giving them a polished look.(Posted on 4/5/12)
I am paring these napkins with the red organza overlays, and they match up very nicely!
- Well pkgd, well priced, well made!Review by Roberta
I ordered 9 dozen of these napkins, to match the rest of the table linens I ordered.(Posted on 12/11/10)
The fabric quality is quite nice, and the hems are nicely done.
The fabric has a good weight, definitely isn't see-through, and drapes quite nicely.
If you are wondering about what 'shade' of red the tablecloths are, it is more of a slight 'orange-red' than a 'pink-red'. My fiance preferred this as he loathes pink! I also layered black lace over it, which I found also gave it more of a pink cast.
One thing: the napkin IS quite a bit lighter than the picture for this item, and closer to the other red items in the set. (Its difficult to take a pic of something so small and keep perfect color rendering, so I wasn't concerned.)
In any case, I'm quite happy with my purchase!

I have a little brother who is in high school and he just learnt the quadratic formula for finding roots of second degree polynomials.
He asked me what why we learn this and how this could apply to a situation in the real world (preferably an application that would apply to his mindset).
I mentioned that the headlight of his bicycle is a parabola, but I was unable to explain why solving a second order polynomial equation like $x^2+3x-2=0$ would apply to this situation.
Could someone help me with some examples?
Thank you in advance

Monitoring progress of embedded R functions
By Mark Hornick-Oracle on Feb 13, 2014
When you run R functions in the database, especially functions involving multiple R engines in parallel, you can monitor their progress using the Oracle R Enterprise datastore as a central location for progress notifications, or any intermediate status or results. In the following example, based on ore.groupApply, we illustrate instrumenting a simple function that builds a linear model to predict flight arrival delay based on a few other variables.
In the function modelBuildWithStatus, the function verifies that there are rows for building the model after eliminating incomplete cases supplied in argument dat. If not empty, the function builds a model and reports "success", otherwise, it reports "no data." It's likely that the user would like to use this model in some way or save it in a datastore for future use, but for this example, we just build the model and discard it, validating that a model can be built on the data.
modelBuildWithStatus <-
function(dat) {
dat <- dat[complete.cases(dat),]
if (nrow(dat)>0L) {
mod <- lm(ARRDELAY ~ DISTANCE + AIRTIME + DEPDELAY, dat);
} else
When we invoke this using ore.groupApply, the goal is to build one model per "unique carrier" or airline. Using an ORE 1.4 feature, we specify the degree of parallelism using the parallel argument, setting it to 2.
res <- ore.groupApply(ONTIME_S[, c("UNIQUECARRIER","DISTANCE", "ARRDELAY", "DEPDELAY", "AIRTIME")],
The result tells us about the status of each execution. Below, we print the unique carries that had no data.
R> res.local<-ore.pull(res)
R> res.local[unlist(res.local)=="no_data"]
[1] "no_data"
[1] "no_data"
[1] "no_data"
[1] "no_data"
[1] "no_data"
To monitor the progress of each execution, we can identify the group of data being processed in each function invocation using the value from the UNIQUECARRIER column. For this particular data set, we use the first two characters of the carrier's symbol appended to "group." to form a unique object name for storing in the datastore identified by job.name. (If we don't do this, the value will form an invalid object name.) Note that since the UNIQUECARRIER column contains uniform data, we need only the first value.
The general idea for monitoring progress is to save an object in the datastore named for each execution of the function on a group. We can then list the contents of the named datastore and compute a percentage complete, which is discussed later in this post. For the "success" case, we assign the value "SUCCESS" to the variable named by the string in nm that we created earlier. Using ore.save, this uniquely named object is stored in the datastore with the name in job.name. We use the append=TRUE flag to indicate that the various function executions will be sharing the same named datastore.
If there is no data left in dat, we assign "NO DATA" to the variable named in nm and save that. Notice in both cases, we're still returning "success" or "no data" so these come back in the list returned by ore.groupApply. However, we can return other values instead, e.g., the model produced.
modelBuildWithMonitoring <-
function(dat, job.name) {
nm <- paste("group.", substr(as.character(dat$UNIQUECARRIER[1L]),1,2), sep="")
dat <- dat[complete.cases(dat),]
if (nrow(dat)>0L) {
mod <- lm(ARRDELAY ~ DISTANCE + AIRTIME + DEPDELAY, dat);
assign(nm, "SUCCESS")
ore.save(list=nm, name=job.name, append=TRUE)
} else {
assign(nm, "NO DATA")
ore.save(list=nm, name=job.name, append=TRUE)
"no data"
When we use this function in ore.groupApply, we provide the job.name and ore.connect arguments as well. The variable ore.connect must be set to TRUE in order to use the datastore. As the ore.groupApply executes, the datastore named by job.name will be increasingly getting objects added with the name of the carrier. First, delete the datastore named "job1", if it exists.
res <- ore.groupApply(ONTIME_S[, c("UNIQUECARRIER","DISTANCE", "ARRDELAY", "DEPDELAY", "AIRTIME")],
job.name="job1", parallel=2L, ore.connect=TRUE)
To see the progress during execution, we can use the following function, which takes a job name and the cardinality of the INDEX column to determine the percent complete. This function is invoked in a separate R engine connected to the same schema. If the job name is found, we print the percent complete, otherwise stop with an error message.
check.progress <- function(job.name, total.groups) {
if ( job.name %in% ore.datastore()$datastore.name )
print(sprintf("%.1f%%", nrow(ore.datastoreSummary(name=job.name))/total.groups*100L))
stop(paste("Job", job.name, " does not exist"))
To invoke this, compute the total number of groups and provide this and the job name to the function check.progress.
total.groups <- length(unique(ONTIME_S$UNIQUECARRIER))
However, we really want a loop to report on the progress automatically. One simple approach is to set up a while loop with a sleep delay. When we reach 100%, stop. To be self-contained, we include a simplification of the function above as a local function.
check.progress.loop <- function(job.name, total.groups, sleep.time=2) {
check.progress <- function(job.name, total.groups) {
if ( job.name %in% ore.datastore()$datastore.name )
print(sprintf("%.1f%%", nrow(ore.datastoreSummary(name=job.name))/total.groups*100L))
paste("Job", job.name, " does not exist")
while(1) {
try(x <- check.progress(job.name,total.groups))
if(x=="100.0%") break
As before, this function is invoked in a separate R engine connected to the same schema.
Looking at the results, we can see the progress reported at one second intervals. Since the models build quickly, it doesn't take long to reach 100%. For functions that take longer to execute or where there are more groups to process, you may choose a longer sleep time. Following this, we look at the datastore "job1" using ore.datastore and its contents using ore.datastoreSummary.
R> check.progress.loop("job1",total.groups,sleep.time=1)
[1] "6.9%"
[1] "96.6%"
[1] "100.0%"
R> ore.datastore(name="job1")

The same basic technique can be used to note progress in any long running or complex embedded R function, e.g., in ore.tableApply or ore.doEval. At various points in the function, sequence-named objects can be added to a datastore. Moreover, the contents of those objects can contain incremental or partial results, or even debug output.
While we've focused on the R API for embedded R execution, the same functions could be invoked using the SQL API. However, monitoring would still be done from an interactive R engine.

While we may not all live in the limelight of reality TV, we all have family, and there are few more important than our surviving grand- and great-grandparents.
No matter how celebrated, it's always nice to see that grandparents are given recognition and kudos, too.
While reality show star Kim Kardashian has revealed as much as (almost) humanly imagined, one person who has not been revealed or promoted is her maternal grandmother, Mary Jo Shannon, who Kim has welcomed to Paris ahead of the events leading up to her wedding.
In a selfie, Kim says, "My grandma MJ. Her 1st time in Paris." Grandma Mary Jo looked thrilled, and there's a marked resemblance in their smiles.

Cardura XL
Long-term Testosterone May Decrease Cardiovascular Risk »
"SAN DIEGO â" Long-term testosterone replacement therapy is associated with a decreased â" not increased â" risk for cardiovascular disease in men, according to a large population-based cohort study.
This finding "answers the controversy""...
Read the Long-term Testosterone May Decrease Cardiovascular Risk article »
Cardura XL
Postural hypotension with or without symptoms (e.g., dizziness) may develop within a few hours following administration of CARDURA XL (doxazosin mesylate extended release tablets). However, infrequently, symptomatic postural hypotension has also been reported later than a few hours after dosing. As with other alpha-blockers, there is a potential for syncope, especially after the initial dose or after an increase in dosage strength. Patients should be warned of the possible occurrence of such events and should avoid situations where injury could result should syncope occur. Care should be taken when CARDURA XL is administered to patients with symptomatic hypotension or patients who have had a hypotensive response to other medications.
Prostate Cancer
Carcinoma of the prostate causes many of the same symptoms associated with BPH and the two disorders frequently co-exist. Carcinoma of the prostate should therefore be ruled out prior to commencing therapy with CARDURA XL.
Cataract Surgery
Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS) has been observed during cataract surgery in some patients on or previously treated with alpha1 blockers. This variant of small pupil syndrome is characterized by the combination of a flaccid iris that billows in response to intraoperative irrigation currents, progressive intraoperative miosis despite preoperative dilation with standard mydriatic drugs, and potential prolapse of the iris toward the phacoemulsification incisions. The patient's surgeon should be prepared for possible modifications to their surgical technique, such as the utilization of iris hooks, iris dilator rings, or viscoelastic substances. There does not appear to be a benefit of stopping alpha1 blocker therapy prior to cataract surgery.
Gastrointestinal Disorders
As with any other non-deformable material, caution should be used when administering CARDURA XL to patients with preexisting severe gastrointestinal narrowing (pathologic or iatrogenic). There have been rare reports of obstructive symptoms in patients with known strictures in association with the ingestion of another drug in this non-deformable extended release formulation. Markedly increased GI retention times, as may occur in patients with chronic constipation, can increase systemic exposure to doxazosin and thereby potentially increase adverse reactions.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
CARDURA XL should be administered with caution to patients with evidence of mild or moderate hepatic dysfunction (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY; Pharmacokinetics in Special Populations). Since there is no clinical experience in patients with severe hepatic dysfunction, use in these patients is not recommended.
Cardiac Toxicity in Animals
Studies in Sprague-Dawley rats after 6, 12, and 18 months, and in CD-1 mice after 18 months of dietary administration, showed an increased incidence of myocardial necrosis or fibrosis at doxazosin base exposure of 26-fold above the human exposure (AUC) at the maximum human recommended dose (MHRD) of 8 mg CARDURA XL. No cardiotoxicity was observed in dogs or Wistar rats after 12 months of oral dosing at doxazosin base exposures of 65- and 85-fold, respectively, above the human exposure (Cmax) at the MHRD of 8 mg CARDURA XL. There is no evidence that similar lesions occur in humans.
Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis
Doxazosin mesylate was not carcinogenic to rats or mice when administered daily for 2 years at doses up to 40 mg/kg/day or 120 mg/kg/day, respectively. Systemic drug exposures, as measured by AUC, were approximately 34-fold in rats and 16-fold in mice above the exposures at the MHRD of 8 mg CARDURA XL.
Doxazosin base was not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial Ames assays, the chromosomal aberration assay in human lymphocytes, or the mouse lymphoma assay. Doxazosin was not clastogenic in the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. Doxazosin mesylate has not been evaluated for genotoxicity.
Fertility in Males
Studies in rats after oral administration of doxazosin base showed reduced fertility in males, which was reversible after two weeks of treatment termination at doxazosin base exposure of 13fold above the human exposure (AUC) at the MHRD of 8 mg CARDURA XL. There have been no reports of any effects of doxazosin on male fertility in humans.
Teratogenic Effects
Pregnancy Category C. CARDURA XL is not indicated for use in women.
There was no evidence of teratogenicity or embryotoxicity in rat or rabbit fetuses that received up to 20 mg/kg/day or 41 mg/kg/day doxazosin base, respectively, administered during major organ development. Plasma exposure at these doses is approximately 32- and 13-fold, respectively, above the AUC values for doxazosin base in humans given the MHRD of 8 mg CARDURA XL. Embryolethality was observed in rabbits at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day of doxazosin mesylate when administered during major organ development. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, CARDURA XL should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Doxazosin base was found to cross the placenta following oral administration to pregnant rats, resulting in fetal exposure.
Nonteratogenic Effects
In pre- and postnatal development studies in rats, postnatal development was delayed as evidenced by body weight gain suppression and a slight delay in the appearance of developmental anatomical landmarks and reflexes at a doxazosin base exposure of 26-fold above the human exposure (AUC) at the MHRD of 8 mg CARDURA XL.
Nursing Mothers
CARDURA XL is not indicated for use in women.
Doxazosin base was secreted into the milk in lactating rats at concentrations approximately 20-fold above the exposure found in the maternal plasma following an oral dose of 1 mg/kg. It is not known if doxazosin is excreted in human breast milk. Use of CARDURA XL in nursing mothers is not recommended.
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of CARDURA XL in pediatric patients have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Of the 666 patients with BPH who received CARDURA XL in the two controlled clinical efficacy and safety studies, 325 patients (49%) were 65 years of age or older. One hundred thirty-six patients treated with CARDURA XL (20%) were > 70 years of age.
In these two studies, the cumulative incidence of hypotension appeared to be age related. The reason for an increased incidence of hypotension in patients older than 70 years of age may be related to a modest increase in systemic exposure to doxazosin (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY; Pharmacokinetics in Special Populations), to an increased propensity to orthostasis in the elderly, or to an enhanced sensitivity to vasodilatory agents in the elderly. The incidence of hypotension reported as an adverse event was higher in patients 70 years of age and older (4/136; 2.9%) as compared to patients < 70 years of age (7/530; 1.3%).This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Today's NFL divisional playoff game for the AFC pits two archrivals against each other that have never faced the other in the post season. While the player's will determine the ultimate outcome, it is the wind in Denver that could prove to be a major factor.
January in the Mile High City can bring extreme cold and snow but it is a more common weather condition that will be dominant today: wind.
Temperatures downtown will be unseasonably warm today with highs topping out in the mid to upper 40s. Partly sunny skies are expected throughout the day.
Winds will be increasing in speed this morning and peaking not long before kickoff at 2:40 p.m. At the start temperatures will be around 47 degrees. Winds will be out of the west northwest at 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph.
As the game progresses, temperatures will be dropping and while winds will be easing a bit, they still will be quite strong.
By halftime the mercury will be reading around 40 degrees. Winds will still be around 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph. At 6:00 p.m. when the game should be wrapping up, the temperature will be down to 35 degrees with the winds continuing to gust to 30 mph.
Clearly the teams are going to have to factor the wind into their game plans.
Aerial attacks by Peyton Manning and Phillip Rivers may be limited. Long throws will certainly be more difficult with the wind pushing the ball around.
The wind may also limit the kicking game and that may prove to be a big factor if the game is close. It would appear unlikely that Broncos kicker Matt Prater will be trying very many long kicks with that famously powerful leg of his.
Given the wind, the game may very well be lower scoring than what Denver Broncos fans are used to seeing.

{top, skirt & sunnies: vintage bag: betsey johnson shoes: zara jewels: c/o anjolee, jennifer meyer, jcrew, charlotte russe & house of harlow}
I was extremely excited when jewelry manufacturer Anjolee got in contact with me about picking and customizing one of their special pieces. They have elegant jewelry for all people and occasions; a couple getting married can purchase a Wedding set, any gal can get a simple Anniversary band or go all out with a Diamond tennis necklace. What I especially like is that because the items are classic you can easily incorporate them into your daily wardrobe. I do have my fair share of chunky jewelry but I do love having a few dainty pieces that I can always wear that go with everything. I couldn't be more pleased with my yellow gold band; it's the perfect ring to wear on its own or even stacked with a few others. I love how a piece of jewelry can make you feel extra feminine, especially when it's worn with pastels and polka dots!

Living in sobriety is easy for people who have been at it for a long time. But for some friends and family members who got hooked on drugs, living without the substance seems otherwise. There is always an attraction to revert to the bad habit and apparently stronger than what the mind sanely dictates to these individuals.
This issue goes around in circles even after former addicts have been chemically-cleansed. The question is: how can reforming addicts go on through life without looking back and just think of moving forward? The answer is quite clear and that is to get additional help and motivation; as simple as using mind over matter.
The dilemma
It is certainly difficult to pass this stage which for many specialists is the most crucial phase in recovery. There are barriers that separate the thoughts of a substance user and that of a reforming addict. The former has more than 100% cravings and still raring to go at it while the latter would opt to sacrifice his last teeny-weeny cravings if just to get off the habit. This is the main reason why homes built to promote sober living have become popular not only in Los Angeles but in other parts of the country.
These locations are far more than what others perceive them to be. Everybody inside these homes are recipients of fresh, clean air; peaceful ambiance and guided by a staff who know how to lead them towards the brighter side of life. Living in transition could be daunting but with people around who have the expertise in dealing with every possible situation, things could just turn out better.
Diversion tactics
Among the amenities that these homes offer their guests are fitness centers, leisure and recreation, and an environment that can keep their thoughts away from situations other than the normal. Some of these locations urge their wards to learn crafts like gardening, painting, and even farming—depending on the type of shelter they have chosen and activities prepared for patients to get involved with.
Diversion is the name of the game and resident professionals are skillful enough in playing their roles. They understand the need to get their wards busy to make them forget the urge to deviate from the norms of society. Time is consumed to the fullest by teaching them to be productive and holistic individuals.
How physical activities can help:
Mental awareness – Routine exercises provide time out from stress, anxiety and anger. At the end of every routine, there's this feeling of goodness brought about by releasing tension from the body. Perception towards life changes after fitness is incorporated in a person's daily activities.
Physical wellness – As too much stress can lead to heart ailments and an imbalanced immune system, fitness routines done at regular intervals can eradicate looming health issues. While we exercise, we take in a good amount of oxygen that develops not only the body; the mind can benefit from it as well. The brain needs a certain amount of oxygen to make it run efficiently.
What fitness can do:
Fitness requires a person to be systematic and organized.
This is one of the best measures that can divert focus from boredom, which oftentimes, results to doing "something else".
It reduces risk factors like that of cancer, weight problems and other possible ailments brought about by a physically inactive body and a stressed-out mind.
Long after your loved ones have gone out of a sober living home, you would find them engrossed in healthy habits, productive activities and living in a whole new world that they themselves have helped build. People would see them as new individuals who have finally outgrown the need for the substance.
Wouldn't you take pride in knowing that you have become an instrument in changing their lives for the long term? Or wouldn't you be proud that you, too, have overcome the fear that was once inside your heart and mind just in case your plans did not turn out in favor of a loved one? Now, who wouldn't say that fitness rules in all of life's aspects?

PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (AP) — An eastern Kentucky attorney has not been seen in three weeks, prompting concern for his well-being from friends and colleagues.
Clyde F. Johnson of Prestonsburg was last heard from when he told a secretary to clear his calendar for June 24. Since then, no one has been able to locate Johnson, who also works as a volunteer football coach at Prestonsburg High School.
His friend, Ned Pillersdorf, told The Courier-Journal the disappearance is "just stunning."
Friends say Johnson took his dog as well as an Xbox gaming system, a 40-inch TV and a new camper he had bought without telling his wife of 19 years.
Police say there's nothing illegal about an adult disappearing and not contacting anyone, but a missing person investigation has been opened in this case.
