Journal of Digital Imaging
Decision support systems have been used to promote the practice of evidence-based medicine. Computer-assisted diagnosis can serve as one element of evidence-based radiology. One area where such tools may provide benefit is analysis of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), which can be a challenge in MRI interpretation. VCFs may be benign or malignant in etiology, and several MRI features may help to make this important distinction. We describe a web-based decision support system for discriminating benign from malignant VCFs as a prototype for a more general diagnostic decision support framework for radiologists. The system has three components: a feature checklist with an image gallery derived from proven reference cases, a prediction model, and a reporting mechanism. The website allows users to input the findings for a case to be interpreted using a structured feature checklist. The image gallery complements the checklist, for clarity and training purposes. The input from the checklist is then used to calculate the likelihood of malignancy by a logistic regression prediction model. Standardized report text is generated that summarizes pertinent positive and negative findings. This computer-assisted diagnosis system demonstrates the integration of three areas where diagnostic decision support can aid radiologists: first, in image interpretation, through feature checklists and illustrative image galleries; second, in feature-based prediction modeling; and third, in structured reporting. We present a diagnostic decision support tool that provides radiologists with evidence-based guidance for discriminating benign from malignant VCF. This model may be useful in other difficult-diagnosis situations and requires further clinical testing.

Journal of Digital Imaging
Imaging plays an increasing role in physical therapy (PT) practice. We sought to determine if picture archiving and communication system (PACS) deployment would increase the proportion of imaging studies viewed by physical therapists (PTs) at the point of care and to assess PTs' perception of the value of access to imaging information. The study was performed in a 720-bed urban teaching hospital where an average of 2,000 rehabilitation visits per month are performed by 12 PTs. We compared the proportion of imaging studies viewed by PTs before and after PACS implementation. We surveyed PTs to assess their perception on the value of access to imaging studies. Film library records pre-PACS and web server audit trail post-PACS implementation were reviewed to measure access. Chi-square was used to compare proportions and trends. During the 3-month period before PACS usage, PTs viewed 1% (6/505) of imaging studies, citing time as the primary barrier. Post-PACS, the proportion of imaging studies viewed rose from 28% (95/344, second month) to 84% (163/192, fifth month) (p < 0.0001, chi-square). Most PTs believed that access to imaging studies has high value and has a positive impact on clinical practice. Physical therapists rarely viewed imaging studies before PACS due to time barriers. They viewed more imaging studies (84%) post-PACS and felt that access to imaging studies has a positive impact on clinical practice. Further studies are needed to assess whether PACS enhances PTs' clinical decision making and improves patient outcomes.

SCAR Radiologic Technologist Survey: Analysis of the Impact of Digital Technologies on Productivity

Journal of Digital Imaging
As medical reimbursements continue to decline, increasing financial pressures are placed upon medical imaging providers. This burden is exacerbated by the existing radiologic technologist (RT) crisis, which has caused RT salaries to trend upward. One strategy to address these trends is employing technology to improve technologist productivity. While industry-wide RT productivity benchmarks have been established for film-based operation, little to date has been published in the medical literature regarding similar productivity measures for filmless operation using PACS. This study was undertaken to document the complex relationship between technologist productivity and implementation of digital radiography and digital information technologies, including PACS and hospital/radiology information systems (HIS/RIS). A nationwide survey was conducted with 112 participating institutions, in varying degrees of digital technology implementation. Technologist productivity was defined as the number of annual exams performed per technologist full-time equivalent (FTE). Productivity analyses were performed among the different demographic and technology profile groups, with a focus on general radiography, which accounts for 65-70% of imaging department volumes. When evaluating the relationship between technologist productivity and digital technology implementation, improved productivity measures were observed for institutions implementing HIS/RIS, modality worklist, and PACS. The timing of PACS implementation was found to have a significant effect on technologist productivity measures, with an initial 10.8% drop in productivity during the first year of PACS implementation, followed by a 27.8% increase in productivity beyond year one. This suggests there is a "PACS learning curve" phenomenon, which should be considered when institutions are planning for PACS implementation.

SCAR Radiologic Technologist Survey: Analysis of Technologist Workforce and Staffing

Journal of Digital Imaging
One of the greatest dilemmas facing medical imaging departments today is the worsening personnel crisis in the radiologic technologist (RT) workforce. As the volume and complexity of medical imaging studies continues to increase, an unprecedented imbalance exists between RT supply and demand. A number of etiologic factors have been postulated to contribute to this RT shortage including decreasing morale, perceived inadequacies in compensation, decreasing number of training programs, and limitations in the career ladder. Previous studies have cited improved technologist productivity as imaging departments successfully transition from film-based to filmless operation. This study was undertaken to address the impact of digital technologies (information systems, PACS, digital radiography) on technologist productivity, in an attempt to determine whether these technologies can be used to positively affect the existing RT workforce imbalance. A total of 112 facilities participated in this nationwide study, with representation of imaging providers that paralleled the demographic profile of the marketplace as a whole. Survey results indicate the existing RT staffing shortage is greatest within academic and rural-based hospitals and is most severe in the area of general radiography, which accounts for 65-70% of imaging department volumes. For general radiography alone, respondents report an average shortage of 2 RT full-time equivalents (FTE's) per institution, when comparing the number of budgeted RT FTE's versus the actual number of RT FTE's. Preliminary results indicate that at this time, RT staffing shortages are not affected by the presence or absence of digital information technologies. Additional research is planned through a five-year longitudinal data collection, to better delineate the complex relationship that exists between implementation of digital technologies and RT staffing.

Workflow Optimization: Current Trends and Future Directions
Reiner, Bruce
Siegel, Eliot
Carrino, John A.
Journal of Digital Imaging
In an attempt to maximize productivity within the medical imaging department, increasing importance and attention is being placed on workflow. Workflow is the process of analyzing individual steps that occur during a single event, such as the performance of an MRI exam. The primary focus of workflow optimization within the imaging department is automation and task consolidation, however, a number of other factors should be considered including the stochastic nature of the workload, availability of human resources, and the specific technologies being employed. The purpose of this paper is to determine the complex relationship that exists between information technology and the radiologic technologist, in an attempt to determine how workflow can be optimized to improve technologist productivity. This relationship takes on greater importance as more imaging departments are undergoing the transition from film-based to filmless operation. A nationwide survey was conducted to compare technologist workflow in film-based and filmless operations, for all imaging modalities. The individual tasks performed by technologists were defined, along with the amount of time allocated to these tasks. The index of workflow efficiency was determined to be the percentage of overall technologist time allocated to image acquisition, since this is the primary responsibility of the radiologic technologist. Preliminary analysis indicates technologist workflow in filmless operation is enhanced when compared with film-based operation, for all imaging modalities. The specific tasks that require less technologist time in filmless operation are accessing data and retake rates (due to both technical factors and lost exams). Surprisingly, no significant differences were reported for the task of image processing, when comparing technologist workflow in film-based and filmless operations. Additional research is planned to evaluate the potential workflow gains achievable through workflow optimization software, improved systems integration, and automation of advanced image processing techniques.

We evaluated the effect of a deploying a relay station on demographic discrepancies, image segmentation for routing, quality control (QC), and technologist workflow in a distributed architecture type picture archiving and communication system (PACS) environment. A currently existing PACS environment for computed tomography (CT) was evaluated before and after the implementation of a relay station for demographic error-rate and correct study routing to the workstations. Assessment of the technologists' perceptions with respect to numerous workflow factors was performed with a questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using a chi-square test. The demographic error rate for CT examinations was nearly abolished with relay station deployment (14.0% pre-Relayv 0.55% post-Relay,P<.001, χ2). The technologists' perception was favorable, with a substantial majority indicating that a positive impact is made on correcting demographic errors (90%), facilitating QC (67%), and ensuring proper routing (77%). A majority also felt the user interface was intuitive (93.3%) and preferred relay (90%) over film handling but that training should be provided both by didactic sessions and "hands on" time with a trainer. The times to perform tasks were favorable for the relay station (1 to 5 minutes) versus film production and handling (2 to 15 minutes). In conclusion, the relay station prospectively eliminates demographic errors, effectively segments images from the same study routing them to different workstations, and can be seamlessly integrated into the technologists' current workflow. This can be scalable and a lower cost solution as opposed to deploying dedicated PACS QC workstations. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A00RM031 00006

Journal of Digital Imaging
1999;12(Suppl 1):28-31.
The acquisition of a picture archiving and communications system (PACS) is an opportunity to reengineer business practices and should optimally consider the entire process from image acquisition to communication of results. The purpose of this presentation is to describe the PACS planning methodology used by the Department of Defense (DOD) Joint Imaging Technology Project Office (JITPO), outline the critical procedures for each phase, and review the military experience using this model. The methodology is segmented into four phases: strategic planning, clinical scenario planning, installation planning, and implementation planning. Each is further subdivided based on the specific tasks that need to be accomplished within that phase. By using this method, an institution will have clearly defined program goals, objectives, and PACS requirements before vendors are contacted. The development of an institution-specific PACS requirement should direct the process of proposal comparisons to be based on functionality and exclude unnecessary equipment. This PACS planning methodology is being used at more than eight DOD medical treatment facilities. When properly executed, this methodology facilitates a seamless transition to the electronic environment and contributes to the successful integration of the healthcare enterprise. A crucial component of this methodology is the development of a local PACS planning team to manage all aspects of the process. A plan formulated by the local team is based on input from each department that will be integrating with the PACS. Involving all users in the planning process is paramount for successful implementation.

Journal of Digital Imaging

The transition to filmless radiology is a much more formidable task than making the request for proposal to purchase a (Picture Archiving and Communications System) PACS. The Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration have been pioneers in the transformation of medical diagnostic imaging to the electronic environment. Many civilian sites are expected to implement large-scale PACS in the next five to ten years. This presentation will relate the empirical insights gleaned at our institution from a large-scale PACS implementation. Our PACS integration was introduced into a fully operational department (not a new hospital) in which work flow had to continue with minimal impact. Impediments to user acceptance will be addressed. The critical components of this enormous task will be discussed. The topics covered during this session will include issues such as phased implementation, DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine) standard-based interaction of devices, hospital information system (HIS)/radiology information system (RIS) interface, user approval, networking, workstation deployment and backup procedures. The presentation will make specific suggestions regarding the implementation team, operating instructions, quality control (QC), training and education. the concept of identifying key functional areas is relevant to transitioning the facility to be entirely on line. Special attention must be paid to specific functional areas such as the operating rooms and trauma rooms where the clinical requirements may not match the PACS capabilities. The printing of films may be necessary for certain circumstances. The integration of teleradiology and remote clinics into a PACS is a salient topic with respect to the overall role of the radiologists providing rapid consultation. A Webbased server allows a clinician to review images and reports on a desk-top (personal) computer and thus reduce the number of dedicated PACS review workstations. This session will focus on effective strategies for a seamless transition. Critical issues involve maintaining a good working relationship with the vendor, cultivating personnel readiness and instituting well-defined support systems. Success depends on the ability to integrate the institutional directives, user expectations and available technologies. A team approach is mandatory for success.

The amateur rider fractured two vertebrae in his neck during a fall last Wednesday and had to have surgery on his broken neck.
"JT McNamara remains stable in an induced coma in Frenchay Hospital, Bristol. Further scans are planned and another statement will be issued as soon as there is more news," said a statement issued jointly by Dr Adrian McGoldrick, senior medical officer for the Irish Turf Club, and Lisa Hancock, CEO of the Injured Jockey's Fund.
"Whilst visits to JT at the moment are not appropriate, JT's family are extremely grateful for all the kind messages and support."
The 37-year-old was riding Galaxy Rock for trainer Jonjo O'Neill in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup on Wednesday when the pair fell at the first fence.
An air ambulance landed at the racecourse to treat the injured rider, who was conscious after the fall but had difficulty breathing, and he was taken to the hospital.
AP McCoy, who has been champion jockey 17 times, told the BBC at the time: "It's a dangerous sport and it's a sight you see that unfortunately crops up.
"We're very lucky we have excellent medical care. We just hope he's going to be OK."
McNamara is a leading Irish amateur rider who has won four races at the Cheltenham Festival in his career.

I think by the wording of the spec using duplicate keyword names in a lambda list (not duplicate variable names - that's just as uncertain as anything else in this discussion) is valid. For instance, (defun foo (&key ((:x x)) ((:x y))) (print (list x y))) 220.127.116.11 states: | The keyword parameter specifiers are, like all parameter specifiers, | effectively processed from left to right.

If more than one such argument pair matches, the | leftmost argument pair is used. I take that to mean that these results are unambiguously correct: (foo :x 4) => (4 4) (foo :x 4 :x 'no) => (4 4) Of course, it may still be less confusing to disallow duplicate keyword names, as at least one implementations fails this in compiled code (Allegro 7.0): CL-USER(5): (foo :x 4) (4 NIL) -bcd

Family Traveling with Young Children
Do not expect a lobby with BSA so you should really get there when it is time for check-in. We arrived 6 hours before check-in time and the condotel was fully booked so we had to wander the malls while we wait for 12 noon. Thank God for call centers so now restaurants are opening as early as 6 AM. They do not even have a public restroom where you could at least freshen up. Other than that medium detail, malls were accessible; there are several options for public transportation; the studio room was spacious (I even invited some friends over and there was still enough room). I would definitely stay here again when I come back to Manila. I got a great view of the Greenbelt park and it cost me 1/2 the price than staying in 3 - 5 star hotels. ...

I only know C and Java. And I really don't want to learn another language when I can work with what I already know. I haven't ever written a GTK+ application, but I am planning to start with an experimental project. So, are there any advantages of writing in Python over Java (with respect to GTK+)?
closed as primarily opinion-based by dobey, Eric Carvalho, Pilot6, David Foerster, Fabby Dec 9 '15 at 0:02
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Python is a much more expressive language than Java. I used to be a very enthusiastic Java developer, but after I started using Python, I'll never go back. Python is quite simply a wonderful language for all kinds of different tasks.
I haven't actually programmed much GTK with Java, but there is at least some support for GObject Introspection, which will make many libraries available even if you use Java. Also, interfaces made in Glade will be usable from Java. Using Python is mostly a matter of comfort and not necessity.
I'm not 100% sure about this (only 99% :P) but I think it's because Python is preinstalled on Ubuntu while Java is not. Also Python integrates GTK+ really well (http://www.pygtk.org/). At least that's the reason why I prefer Python over Java although I can't say something about Java integration. And I like Python's syntax, documentation and community more.
But as sagarchalise already said, why don't you use C if you know it? You can create your GUIs with Glade and use it in C and Python and maybe other languages.
Besides: "I really don't want to learn another language when I can work with what I already know." is a rather ... suboptimal ... attitude. You should always try to expand your horizons and look how others do things. Python is a object-oriented imperative language too and as I always say: if you know one you know them all. Sure there are some things that differ but "learning" Python is easy peasy if you know Java. I'd say give it a try.
I'm learning Python, as my first programming language (other than pascal in high school) I have tried learning C++ about 10 years ago and failed, never did anything with it, and I have a bunch of books on Java that I did'nt buy. And I am glad that Python is popular because it sure is a lot simpler to use than what I remember from my earlier programming days.
I don't know much about Python but if you know other languages you'll pick up Python quickly I guarantee it
But Canonical accepts in their repos apps made with Java, look at this:
People choose different languages for different reasons, an important one being their familiarity with the particular language.
As for creating Gtk applications, if you know Java, you might consider Vala. It is a lot like Java but very well integrated into the Gnome/Gtk environment.

"Săo Paulo" Top 5 Page for this destination Estado de Săo Paulo by Lady_Disdain
Estado de Săo Paulo Travel Guide: 1,303 reviews and 3,131 photos
Săo Paulo is best known for its huge capital city, also named Săo Paulo. However, the huge metropolis may be the least of its charms. The countryside is littered with small towns and large cities, as well as farms, forests, rivers and many, many waterfalls.
In fact, Săo Paulo city only exists as it is today because of the countryside. Until the late XVIII century, the capital was a smallish city, outshined by Rio de Janeiro, the capital at the time, and other major cities. However, the coffee plantations were generating huge amounts of money, which was invested in industry. These same industries are, today, the main reason for Săo Paulo's development.
What is there to do and see in the countryside, then? A lot!
Petar is perhaps the best known attractions - and with good reason! The caves and falls are beautiful! But Brotas, Itatiaia, Săo Francisco Xavier and Săo Luiz de Ipatinga all have falls, good hikes and trails. Ecoturism is very well developed.
Other towns have not changed much over the years, showing how small farmers have lived in the region. Horseback riding, sports and plenty of good, hearty food is garanteed! Since brazilians are very religious, a church (or two or three) is always present in the main square, often with stained glass windows.
And speaking of churches, Aparecida do Norte has one of the major churches in Brazil, the Basilica built to house the image of Nossa Senhora Aparecida (Our Lady who Appeared, in a very free translation), the patron saint of Brazil. The complete story and all the miracles performed by the saint is told in Aparecida.
The Basilica itself is one of the largest in the world, built between 1955 and 1984. It is made of aparent bricks and the roof is being rebuilt in blue tiles, in honour of the Virgin. It is well worth a visit, for the spectacular building, the throngs of the faithful (specially on october 12th) and the incredible room filled with donations.
I thought a lot about how to organize these pages.
This is what I decided to do:
I am posting tips in this page on my favourite towns and places in Săo Paulo. This is basically an index, so if you are interested in any place, check if I have built a detailed page on that place (if not, I hope to eventually!).
Other general tips about Săo Paulo will also be posted here.

关于 elizabeth stone女士
This is my first year teaching at Bonnette, and I am really excited to be here. I am a proud Bobcat alumni (class of 1998), and look forward to giving back to the school and community I grew up in. I went on to graduate from Deer Park High School and then the University of Houston Clear Lake, where I earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I don't really have a hobby, but I do love finding adventure and trying new foods!

The Road to Serfdom: Text and Documents, The Definitive Editionby F. A. Hayek
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
An unimpeachable classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general readers for half a century. Originally published in 1944—when Eleanor Roosevelt supported the efforts of Stalin, and Albert Einstein subscribed lock, stock, and barrel to the socialist program—The Road to Serfdom was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For F. A. Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
First published by the University of Chicago Press on September 18, 1944, The Road to Serfdom garnered immediate, widespread attention. The first printing of 2,000 copies was exhausted instantly, and within six months more than 30,000 books were sold. In April 1945, Reader's Digest published a condensed version of the book, and soon thereafter the Book-of-the-Month Club distributed this edition to more than 600,000 readers. A perennial best seller, the book has sold 400,000 copies in the United States alone and has been translated into more than twenty languages, along the way becoming one of the most important and influential books of the century.
With this new edition, The Road to Serfdom takes its place in the series The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek. The volume includes a foreword by series editor and leading Hayek scholar Bruce Caldwell explaining the book's origins and publishing history and assessing common misinterpretations of Hayek's thought. Caldwell has also standardized and corrected Hayek's references and added helpful new explanatory notes. Supplemented with an appendix of related materials ranging from prepublication reports on the initial manuscript to forewords to earlier editions by John Chamberlain, Milton Friedman, and Hayek himself, this new edition of The Road to Serfdom will be the definitive version of Hayek's enduring masterwork.
Editorial Reviews
"A version of a recognized classic text that provides a full and rich context from which to understand its emergence and eventual powerful impact on the course of events and ideas in the twentieth century. . . . The University of Chicago Press and Bruce Caldwell have done an excellent job in dressing up this classic book for both the general reader and scholars in a variety of disciplines and the hiostory of ideas."
"It takes courage, or something like it, to declare one's offering 'The Definitive Edition'. . . . I have no hesitation, though in describing this as an excellent edition."

A real educational insight on society and social order. Interesting and thought provoking. While reading ask the question where is America heading.
The commentaries and discussions held in this book by F.A.Hayek are timeless and pertinent to the society we see today being pressed by the progressive parties throughout the world, including here in the USA. Almost brutally honest, the results of politically correctness have just changed the slave master, convincing the population to stay tuned to soap operas and staying like sheep in a herd of zombies. A must read for all college students, especially minorities and immigrants.
This is not exciting reading, but it is accurate. It is an accounting of what happens when government takes over the economy. Europe is in the final stages of a cultural and economic death that were predicted by this book
This book should be taught in every school across the nation. Its that important.
Everyone who cares about the direction of the United States should read this book.
Life changing book ahead of its time. Toug read but struggle thru it. We are at the point he describes
recommending it
I was assigned to read this for an economics class. It appeared very technical to me. I would recommend having a base knowledge in economics before reading this book.

An efficient hybrid local nonmatching method for multiphase flow simulations in heterogeneous fractured media

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
This paper presents simulation methodology that combines a local nonmatching grid with a discrete fracture model. Designed for 2D and 3D multiphase flow simulations in standard simulators, the method handles matrix–matrix, fracture–fracture, and matrix–fracture connections in the context of an unstructured, local nonmatching grid. The grid is generated at the fracture intersections, enabling accurate modeling of small control volumes between connecting fractures. Grids are obtained simply by redistributing the volume of small control volumes surrounding the small control volumes, making the method computationally efficient. A unified method to calculate the interblock transmissibility is used for both matching and nonmatching mesh. An unstructured finite-volume graph-based reservoir simulator with a two-point flux approximation reads the new grid by making a simple modification to the graph of connections between the control volumes. The method requires no special treatment of fracture–fracture or matrix–fracture transmissibility calculations and has the flexibility to simulate any flow problem efficiently. Several 2D and 3D numerical examples demonstrate the method's performance and accuracy. Both simple and complex fracture configurations are presented with various levels of geologic and fluid complexity. The numerical results are in good agreement with those of a reference solution obtained on a finely structured grid.

The OkCupid Kissing Test
Their result for The OkCupid Kissing Test ...
The Real Deal
You are 50% Passionate, 42% Romantic, and 60% Experienced!
Wow, Real Deal. You've got it going on.
When hot young things dream of the perfect kiss, they dream of you. Not only are you both passionate and romantic, you also know what the hell you're doing. You've achieved a rare balance between physical and emotional, and that's reflected in your make-out manner. You're creative, intuitive, and flexible. You can be gentle or aggressive, depending on your partner's preferences and you're usually as romantic as is appropriate for the situation. Your kisses are both sexy and meaningful, and those who get your amazing kisses are unlikely to forget them. This is the part where we tell you who to kiss next. And we'd tell you to stick to other Real Deals, but the truth is that we want them for ourselves.
If you're just looking for hot-and-heavy makeout action, try The Vixen or The Rogue. If you're looking for someone to smooch on the regular, check out The Boyfriend or The Girlfriend (they're a lot like you, but they haven't achieved your level of mastery just yet. Teach them, o wise one.)
See all of the other results here:
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)

Woman Missing in Nevada Since March Found Alive
She had been eating trail mix for seven weeks.
Rita Chretien, a 56-year-old Canadian woman missing in Nevada since late March, was found alive on Friday, though Albert Chretien, her 59-year-old husband, is still missing. Rita and Albert got stuck in mud after turning off of a main road in a national forest while on a sightseeing vacation. Chretien last saw her husband on March 22, when he set off for help on foot with a GPS. The Sheriff's Department said they'll continue to look for Albert, and they're not turning the rescue mission into a recovery operation yet. "We're stunned," the couple's son Raymond told the Oregonian, upon finding out his mom is alive. "We haven't fully digested it. This is a miracle." Raymond said his mother doubts she would have survived another week, and she had been keeping a journal to let her family know what happened. Her son says she immediately apologized for the anguish she caused him and his siblings. [AP via Gawker]

The mammary gland: A unique organ for the study of development and tumorigenesis

The microanatomy and development of the mammary gland are unique and a reflection of its function to synthesize and deliver milk to the newborn offspring. The uniqueness of the mammary gland resides in several factors. First, the mammary parenchyma undergoes the vast majority of its growth postpubertally, thus enabling experiments on development to be performed in the juvenile or adult and presenting opportunities for experimental manipulation of the gland not available with other organs. On the basis of this characteristic, the fat pad transplantation method was developed, which resulted in the elaboration of important concepts in senescence, immortalization, and preneoplasia. Second, the accessibility of the gland and the ductal organization allows delivery and localization of specific molecules to mammary parenchyma cells, the cells which are the site of origin of neoplastic development. Third, the organ is the target of viral, chemical, and physical carcinogens, allowing development of unique and complex models for neoplastic development. Finally, the complexity of hormone and growth factor regulation of mammary gland function allows a sophisticated approach to the study of hormone action. The purpose of this review is to illustrate some unique properties of the gland which provide the basis for specialized approaches to developmental, neoplastic, and functional problems.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Two Florida basketball players were arrested early Sunday and charged with felony burglary for allegedly breaking into a car.
Erik Murphy and Cody Larson were booked at the St. Johns County Jail around 4 a.m. They were released after each posted a $5,000 bond.
A third man, team manager Joshua Adel, was charged with principal to burglary. St. Augustine police said he acted as a lookout.
Officers said the 20-year-old Murphy and 19-year-old Larson went into a restaurant/bar around 2 a.m., claimed to have lost a wallet and apparently tried to get close to an employee counting money. According to police, bouncers told the players to leave, then witnessed them breaking into a co-worker's car across the street. The victim didn't notice any items missing from his car, police said.
Nonetheless, Murphy and Larson were charged with one felony count of third-degree burglary.
Murphy, a 6-foot-10 sophomore from South Kingstown, R.I., averaged 4.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.8 minutes this past season. He was the team's best 3-point shooter (40 percent). Larson, a 6-foot-9 freshman from Sioux Falls, S.D., didn't play.
Last May, Larson received a 120-day suspended jail sentence and two years of probation for allegedly being in a room where drugs were knowingly kept and used. He also was ordered to undergo counseling and perform community service. Larson later said he gave a high school teammate dealing with ankle pain a Hydrocodone pill left over from Larson's knee surgery.
Larson's latest arrest could violate terms of his probation.

An international look at the lawsuit avoidance hypothesis of IPO underpricing
We examine the relationship between IPO underpricing and litigation risk in an international setting using a sample of 13,759 firms that went public across 40 countries between 1991 and 2011. While the majority of single-country studies do not find support for the lawsuit avoidance hypothesis, we find a significant positive relationship between litigation risk and underpricing in a cross-country framework. Contrary to all single-country legal liability studies outside the U.S. and consistent with the U.S. studies of Tiniç (1988) and Lowry and Shu (2002), our empirical results support the insurance effect of the lawsuit avoidance hypothesis in an international context. Our findings imply that the degree of litigation risk in a given country affects the level of underpricing for firms that go public in that country. We conclude that differences in legal risk factors can partially explain differences in underpricing across countries.

1 It's all that remains of the "Barbary Coast." Amherst Avenue earned that nickname when it used to be the Bourbon Street of bayside Margate during the '60s, '70s and '80s, with hundreds of sloppy college students traversing between more than a dozen bars and pubs. The historical reference to the North African coast and its once-pirate-filled ports is probably lost on today's 20-somethings, and the scenes of anything-goes mayhem on the avenue are mostly lost as well. Maynard's, which was named after original owner Billy Maynard when it opened in 1914, is the last bastion of that raucous past, as most of the old bars nearby have closed to be replaced by condos and more "civilized" up-scale restaurants.
2 It's what's on the outside that matters most. The original structure dates to the turn of the 20th century, and when Al Troiano bought the bar in 1966, it wasn't much to talk about - just an unremarkable, dimly lit watering hole. He then bought a couple adjacent bungalows, knocked them down and created Big Al's Starlite Garden, a large outdoor patio that is packed on summer weekends and is easily the bar's most popular attraction. In 2011, current owner Steve Troiano, Big's Al's son, put up a permanent pavilion with a brand new sound system along with sound-deadening hardwood and acoustic panels to shield their sleepier neighbors from the lively late-night parties.
3 Everyone loves a legend. As is often the case with laid-back shore bars, you can find families and older couples mixed in with newly 21-year-old patrons and people from every age in between. The crowd tends to get younger as the nights go on, with plenty of locals and visitors creating memories and starting their own traditions.
4 You should visit sooner rather than later. Bands play on weekends and certain weeknights, mostly during the summer but sometimes in the offseason, from about 6 to 9 p.m., followed by DJs who play into the early morning. Meanwhile, get $1 off already reasonably priced drinks during happy hour from 7 to 10 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.
5 They offer good times, but also a chance to do good deeds. Maynard's has about 30 to 40 benefits a year, helping a variety of local causes. One of their best known events, The Patti McWalk, is held every April in honor of Margate resident Jennifer "Patti" McDonald, who died of cancer in 2002. Every year since they have raised thousands of dollars for the South Jersey Cancer Fund, including $18,000 in 2012. To get information about upcoming benefits or schedule a private party of your own, contact the bar at 609-822-8423.
The Scene
Heard on a Saturday night: Resident DJ Coz played a mix of party favorites, splicing in tracks from the '70s, '80s, '90s and current Top 40, all of which the crowd was familiar with.
Scene at midnight: A relaxed, attractive crowd mostly in their mid-20s occupied bar stools and shot pool, chatting and greeting people they knew who walked in the door. A few older couples and friends also shared drinks, tapping their feet to the music.
Bar Owner: Steve Troiano
Debuted: Originally opened in 1914, purchased by Al Troiano in 1966, added outdoor pavilion in 2011
The look: Behind the brick facade and neon sign is a low-ceilinged interior with tile floors, brick walls, a main wood-paneled bar. There are pool tables, 13 high-definition TVs and small DJ booth in the corner, with old photos and beer merchandise serving as the main decorations. Outside is the patio partially covered by a wooden pavilion, with another bar, more TVs and table seating.

Photo of the Day
•January 1, 1970
cmk: An educated gamble by Hillary. Kaine is considered to be a moderate Dem (is there such a thing? I though it was left, far left, and extreme far left). She's hoping he helps her in Virginia and picks off some independents and moderates elsewhere. She's calculating that any dissatisfaction the most liberal elements of the party have over the pick will subside by November and they will all come home to vote for her. I just don't think it matters. It's great talk show fodder, and they do have one important debate, but in the end, people vote for President, not VP.

Sheriff's Citizens Academy now enrolling for 2010
Published: Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 8:18 p.m.
Henderson County Sheriff Rick Davis will soon be kicking off a Sheriff's Citizens Academy for 2010.
The academy is enrolling students to learn the ins and outs of the Sheriff's Office. Applications are being accepted for the class, which is open to people 21 years and older. There are about 10 openings left for the class that begins Tuesday, Feb. 23, according to academy director Dick Graczyk.
"The purpose of the class is to give citizens an overall view of the operations of the Sheriff's Office," he said. "So often people see a squad car go by and are not sure what they are even doing. We give the people an idea of the training and different departments."
Davis will start off the 12-week program with a history and overview of his office.
The course began in 1997 by former Henderson County Sheriff George Erwin. During the courses, deputies will give presentations on topics including the hiring and training process, 911 assistance, EMS, animal enforcement, criminal investigations, bomb squad, gang units, classifications of crimes, the K-9 unit, SWAT teams, patrol and traffic enforcement and ICE and 289(g), as well as numerous volunteer groups associated with the Sheriff's Office.
"We also give the students a chance to ride along with a patrol officer, tour the court facilities and the detention center," he said.
The class meets at 6 p.m. at various locations in Henderson County. The cost for the course is $20 to cover materials.
Graczyk said it's an interactive session that keeps students stimulated with demonstrations, hands-on experiences, presentations, videos, ride-alongs and total involvement in the goings on at the Sheriff's Office.
Students are required to attend 10 of the 12 classes to be eligible to graduate from the program.
Applications are available at the Sheriff's Office. For more information, call Graczyk at 697-4596, Ext .4142 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Safety Experts, Consumer Advocate Oppose Increase in Speed Limit
Bill filed that would allow speed limits to be raised 5 mph on interstate, divided highways
Published: Thursday, December 19, 2013 at 3:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 19, 2013 at 3:09 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE | In 30 years with the Florida Highway Patrol, Charlie Creel said one of the most heartbreaking tasks he faced was knocking on someone's door to tell them a family member had been killed in a traffic accident.
"It's not something that it's pleasant to do to tell people that they have lost a loved one," said Creel, who is now the sheriff of Wakulla County.
But that experience has convinced Creel to strongly oppose an effort in the 2014 Legislature to raise speed limits on some Florida highways by 5 mph, including boosting the speed to 75 mph on stretches of interstate highways.
Creel, joined by safety experts and consumer advocates at a news conference on Thursday, said the higher speeds will lead to more accidents and more deaths. In 2012, 2,424 people died in traffic accidents in Florida, with 361 deaths attributed to speed, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"This proposal is a bad idea," Creel said. "It's a bad law, and it's a dangerous law."
Senate Transportation Chairman Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, and Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, have filed a bill (SB 392) Petersburg that would increase the speed limits on some sections of interstate highways to 75 mph from the current 70 mph limit, which was set in 1996.
It would also allow 5 mph increases on other roadways, including highways where there is a divided median that has a current limit of 65 mph and other roadways where the limit is 60 mph.
Brandes and Clemens said the higher speed limits would be allowed in the more rural, less populated areas of the state and would only be increased after state traffic experts deemed the roadways appropriate for a higher speed limit.
"This legislation does not mandate speed limit increases. Instead, traffic safety engineers at the Florida Department of Transportation will have the discretion to increase speed limits on certain roadways by 5 miles per hour," Brandes said in response to the news conference. "The data indicates that many drivers are already traveling at these speeds on highways, and traffic research shows that traveling with the free flow of traffic is safer for the motoring public."
Despite those precautions, John Ulczycki, a vice president with the National Safety Council, said higher speed limits will lead to more highway fatalities. Along with Creel, he was also joined by Walter Dartland of the Consumer Federation of the Southeast.
"Any proposal anywhere in the country to raise speed limits will result in more people getting into crashes and more people dying," Ulczycki said. "It's a pretty simple equation."
He said he would not be surprised by an increase of roughly 5 percent in fatalities — 120 deaths per year. "It will be very unfortunate and unfortunately very predictable," Ulczycki said. "It doesn't have to be that way."
Ulczycki acknowledged traffic deaths have been on a downward trend in Florida in recent years — dropping 25.5 percent between 2007 and 2011 — but he said there are many factors for that, including an economic recession, better-designed roadways and safer vehicles.
On the other hand, he said: "We've seen nothing to indicate that human behavior or safe driving practices are getting better. In fact we see just the opposite." He cited cellphone usage in vehicles, drunken driving and the urge to speed.
He said it was human nature to continue to do risky things as long as it did not result in any individual harm. "That is a fatal assumption," he said.
Brandes and Clemens cited research by The National Motorists Association, a motorist advocacy group, that found establishing speed limits that align with actual driver behavior is a good public policy.
"This is because free flowing traffic is safer," John Bowman, a spokesman for the group, said in a statement. "Motorists generally drive at speeds they feel comfortable and safe at regardless of the posted speed limit. Adjusting speed limits to be more in line with actual driver behavior promotes safety."

Agency is one of our greatest gifts. And because of that, I have never been able
to figure out why anyone, let alone a member of the Church, would want to belong
to a political party.
Political parties are for politicians, not for voters. And unless your state is one of those with open primaries, by belonging to a political party, you are telling the elected officials in your state that you are not interested in having a choice.
Just because someone belongs to your particular party does not mean that a candidate of the other party might not really be a better choice, but you have limited your options.
Every election we have should be open and fair, and each citizen of this country should have the unfettered ability to vote for any candidate they choose, regardless of party affiliation.
And one more thing about not belonging to a political party...if the politicians don't know who will vote on what, chances are they will make a more concerted effort to actually put intelligent bills up for a vote, or intelligent people up for election.
No guarantee, though. It is, after all, politics. ;-)

Very good article with a variety of opinions on LDS reaction to a Romney win.
These also reflect the variety from my family and friends.
From my tribe, Conservative Evangelicals will be very excited for his win on both political and religious levels. We'll have our fiscal leader and we can discuss Mormonism 24/7.
We want our LDS family and friends to be in the heaven that we believe in, as much as they want us with them in theirs. I hope this greater visibilty will propel the dialogue to a better understanding of both perspectives. Our mutual concern for our eternal souls is what's at stake. These posts also prove that few LDS understand what the issues of concern are for Biblical believers.
Ultimately, God is in control and we will still be faithful soldiers regardless of who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It's who resides in our Father's eternal Kingdom that matters.

C'mon Mormons! Let's join hands and face our new "same old"
fallen world. It's a new day, but our world needs healing. It needs
Jesus, not acrimony, accusation and skepticism. It needs truth, not politics
and division.
Let's look deep into God's Word, at the Beginning Word, the Word Who is God. Let's share The Truth with all who are searching.
That's what we are called to. This world is only the preamble. Let's get on the same side now and put our resources to what has eternal consequences. It's a new day in America with the same divisions, brokenness and pain... Time for you to come into the fold!

The Mortgage Professor: Allying homebuyers, investors could be tricky
Matt York, ASSOCIATED PRESS
A new company called Primarq promises to give investors looking for better yields access to home appreciation, diversification across many individual transactions, and freedom from legal and operational details, which would be handled by Primarq. The promise to homebuyers and homeowners looking to refinance is that accepting an equity investment would reduce the size of the mortgage they would need, reduce the interest rate, reduce or eliminate mortgage insurance, and reduce their monthly mortgage payment.
It sounds like a great idea, a business marriage made in heaven — which makes one wonder why nobody ever thought of doing it before. Or perhaps they did and decided that it wouldn't work.
Implementation faces many challenges, and it remains to be seen whether Primarq can overcome them. Here are some of the major ones.
—Association with defunct shared appreciation mortgage, or SAM, programs: Under SAM programs in the U.S. and U.K., borrowers received a rate reduction from lenders in exchange for a share of property appreciation. The lender was also the investor.
Lenders writing SAMs in the U.S. evidently gave up on them because the appreciation rate was too low, while in the U.K. borrowers rebelled because the appreciation rate was too high. This divergent experience arose because home prices are highly variable and the SAM programs were enacted at different times in the two countries.
The Primarq program differs from SAM programs in many ways, including the fact that equity investors in Primarq, but not SAM lenders, share in the downside risk. Such differences might make the Primarq program more robust in the face of pronounced and prolonged house price changes, but this requires further study.
—Existing restrictions on acceptable fund sources: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration have detailed regulations governing the portion of the down payment that must be provided directly by the borrower, and acceptable sources of other funds that might be used to supplement the borrower's own funds. These include personal gifts, donations from acceptable entities, employer assistance and community second mortgages. Investors looking for a return in the form of appreciation do not appear in the current rules.
The reason seems to be a concern that because part of any change in value will belong to the investor, the owner/borrower will have less incentive to improve the unit, which would increase risk to the mortgage lender or insurer. Under the Primarq plan, however, the homeowner would receive credit for any capital improvements and would not have to share the increase in value with the investor. In addition, homeowners will be required to retain at least 50 percent of the equity. With a $100,000 house, the borrower who is looking for an $80,000 mortgage could accept an investment no larger than $9,999.
Whether these provisions will satisfy the agencies remains to be seen. A possible alternative is one or more portfolio lenders who will make these loans to hold. Primarq is "talking to" both the agencies and portfolio lenders.
—Disclosures to consumers: Many borrowers don't understand how mortgages work, disclosures mandated by government are poor, and injecting a third party into the process complicates it further. This poses an enormous challenge to Primarq, which can't afford to wait until the government forces its hand by mandating more useless disclosures. Borrowers need a good sense of what they are receiving in the form of lower mortgage costs and payments, and what they are giving up in equity to get it. And they need this under different market price and holding-period scenarios.
Primarq said it is working on a disclosure statement that will include such features, and will send it to me when it is ready.

Research Institution:
AbstractMunro offer an innovatiive, intelligent, fully integrated hardware and software cockpit system solution for handling many General Aviation (GA) and UAV emergencies so as to minimize NextGen ATM disruption while saving lives. This ADS-B-ER system will provide GA airplanes and UAVs automated -ER trajectories to the nearest suitable airport avoiding terrain/obstacles, hazardous weather and restricted airspace. The ADS-B-ER will also provide NextGen's ANSP "controllers" with the?ER trajectory via a 911 ADS-B datastream offering collaborative capability. In a GA or UAV emergency or impending emergency this ADS-B-ER datastream will serve as an interactive datalink between airplane and NextGen, providing the safest optimum trajectory option to the flight crew as well as to the FAA and DOD NextGen ANSP controllers for dealing with the emergency so that they are both dealing with the same information base. Within the last month a military UAV went "rogue" and penetrated the Washington ADIZ, pointing to the vital need for our innovative solution. Our demonstration system will be designed to be compatible with the advanced cockpit systems work underway in the NASA LaRC Cirrus airplane and will also serve its UAV testbed needs. It will be available for installation and integration with other systems in NASA's airplanes or UAV and simulator facilities. We will develop the R & D into a unified ADS-B system for commercial deployment in all types of GA airplanes and UAVs thus provide a more consistent safety response compared to today's ATC intense human only response thereby accelerating fleet deployment which is a major FAA concern today.
