If soccer isn't your thing, you could do much worse than watching the Twins' Phil Hughes duel against Red Sox lefty Jon Lester at Fenway. 6:10 p.m., FSN.
"Gwynn was never a 'diamond in the rough' rookie. He was a polished gem from the day the Padres found him. Thanks, Tony, for all those years watching you play with such great ability, and such love for the game."

Roxio offers Crunch video converter for Apple TV, iPod, iPhone
Roxio this week will announce Crunch, a new Mac application that converts videos for playback on the Apple TV, iPod, and iPhone. Crunch includes support for both native QuickTime file formats including DV, AVI, MOV, and non-QuickTime file formats including DivX, MPEG-2 and DVD-Video. Roxio said the software will also convert DVDs and VIDEO_TS folders, and offers multiple optimized MPEG-4 and H.264 settings.
"With award winning technology from the leader in digital media, Roxio Crunch makes taking your video in to the living room or the palm of your hands fast and simple," the company said in documents provided to iLounge. "Roxio Crunch is a one-stop shop for all of your video conversion needs. Batch export will make your life even simpler—converted video will be automatically added to iTunes for syncing." Roxio's site has yet to be updated with information on Crunch, and pricing and availability were not provided. View screenshots below.

hm, looks just like Toast. i like how they're consistent with their interfaces. this probably won't entice me away from using VisualHub for my converting needs, but it'll be interesting to see their final price and feature set.

Why are these conversion programs so limited for Windows?
Posted by jbt87 on May 2, 2007 at 1:52 PM (CDT)
Roxio…award-winning technology? Well, not all awards designate good things, I suppose.
Certainly would go to cover all those CD-Rs in our office archives burned using Roxio and, prior to that, Adaptec foulware over the past several years that no longer read. And to think we nearly tossed all those zip disks that were the source material for those CD-Rs…facing the Click of Death would be infinitely better than what "award-winning" Roxio had to offer up with their silver coffee coasters.
Yeah, Roxio rocks…NOT.

flatline response:
Have you found it to be any different with any other vendor's package? I'd be surprised if the software is at fault, rather than the nature/quality of the CD-R blanks. I've had CD-R's go bad on me because of labels - the labels shrink as they dry out and warp the CD just enough to make it unreadable! :)
Posted by WhoCares on May 2, 2007 at 2:48 PM (CDT)
I would be interested to see if this rips dvds simply and well. I currently use handbrake which does a great job but has limitations as well.
Posted by Jeremy on May 2, 2007 at 3:08 PM (CDT)
would be nice if they offered conversion options for products other than ones by apple i.e. cowon's d2. i think most mac users already have a solution for the ipod conversion by now :\
Posted by specialk on May 2, 2007 at 3:23 PM (CDT)
Thanks for the screenshots iLounge. I'm curious and if any of you know would love to hear from you- is there a format that will work good across the gamut of formats? I mean, do I have to have one DVD ripped in potentially 3 different formats so that it will look right on each or is there a solution?
Posted by aaron on May 2, 2007 at 3:30 PM (CDT)
How does this differ from Popcorn2 by Roxio, Looks pretty much the same to me.
Posted by Stephen on May 2, 2007 at 10:20 PM (CDT)
Too simple. Does it do QuickTime-compatible anamorphic? Handbrake can. It's had a major upgrade and I wouldn't use anything else.
Posted by Japester on May 2, 2007 at 11:03 PM (CDT)
Have you found it to be any different with any other vendor's package?
So far I've had significantly better luck since switching to Nero, which I use for our home computers. At least with them I haven't had the experience of burning two or three coasters in a row, or have a disc that worked six or seven months ago with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of billed man-hours backed up on it suddenly become unreadable, as we've had with Roxio burning products at the office. Perhaps it's the CD media, but I use the cheapest, most generic stuff at home, and so far none of Nero burns have gone bad over time (knock wood). Even when I've used the same blank name-brand discs brought home from work, I've had no problems to date with Nero.
Posted by flatline response on May 3, 2007 at 7:25 AM (CDT)
Is this a subset of Toast 8? And I don't see much difference between Popcorn and Crunch.

New York state stands to be one of the hardest hit when the majority of $900 billion in federal budget cuts takes effect in 2013.
A new report to be released tomorrow says that New York could lose 29,000 defense jobs next year, and more than 41,000 other non-defense jobs, as part of anticipated budget cuts from the Budget Control Act of 2011. The act, signed into law on Aug. 2, 2011, concluded the debt ceiling debate by forcing Congress to cut $917 billion over 10 years, with only about $25 billion coming from 2012's budget.
That means many sectors that rely on government spending, such as defense, could be in trouble in 2013.
The report, commissioned by the Aerospace Industries Association and conducted by an economist at George Mason University, notes that New York was in the top 10 for states hardest hit by the coming cuts. In total, an estimated 2.1 million American jobs could be affected.
Considering most cuts will not take effect until after the 2012 election, there is still a chance the new Congress could either lessen or deepen the cuts.

This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
A group of scientists placed 5 monkeys in a cage and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on the top.
Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water.
After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the others beat up the one on the ladder.
After some time, no monkey dare to go up the ladder regardless of the temptation.
Scientists then decided to substitute one of the monkeys. The 1st thing this new monkey did was to go up the ladder. Immediately the other monkeys beat him up.
After several beatings, the new member learned not to climb the ladder even though never knew why.
A 2nd monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The 1st monkey participated on the beating for the 2nd monkey. A 3rd monkey was changed and the same was repeated (beating). The 4th was substituted and the beating was repeated and finally the 5th monkey was replaced.
What was left was a group of 5 monkeys that even though never received a cold shower, continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.
If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they would beat up all those who attempted to go up the ladder….. I bet you the answer would be…. "I don't know – that's how things are done around here" Does it sounds familiar?
Don't miss the opportunity to share this with others as they might be asking themselves why we continue to do what we are doing if there is a different way out there.

What is Pilates?
Lots of people want to try Pilates but regularly ask me 'What is Pilates exactly?' It's founder – Joseph Pilates – was originally born in Germany in 1880, the son of a gymnast and naturopath. Joseph soon became very interested in fitness from an early age, learning about many forms of fitness as a young man including Body-Building, Zen, Yoga and Gymnastics and he also posed for anatomy charts when he was a teenager.
Joseph Pilates then moved to England in 1912 working as a Boxer and for Scotland Yard in the form of a self defense trainer. Still living in England when the First World War erupted, Pilates was sent to a Prisoner of War Camp on the Isle of Man due to being German. This is where his unique methods were born. Joseph Pilates had time on his hands to develop his revolutionary methodologies during his internment, he spent his days developing a system of physical exercises and training his fellow inmates in the method which he named "Contrology".
It is sometimes claimed so many who became injured or ill survived in the camp with Joseph Pilates because of their good physical shape, thanks to Joseph Pilates and following his Method. After the war Joseph Pilates moved back to Germany and collaborated with experts in Dance and Physical Exercise but he didn't stay in Germany long as he refused to train members of the German Army, instead he emigrated to the USA. On the outbound journey he met Clara, who would be his future wife and help assist him in developing his method further. On their arrival in New York, Joe and Clara set up a studio to teach his methods that today are known as Pilates.

Tumor Infiltration in the Medial Resection Margin Predicts Survival After Pancreaticoduodenectomy for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Microscopic tumor involvement (R1) in different surgical resection margins after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been debated.
Clinico-pathological data for 258 patients who underwent PD between 2001 and 2010 were retrieved from a prospective database. The rates of R1 resection in the circumferential resection margin (pancreatic transection, medial, posterior, and anterior surfaces) and their prognostic influence on survival were assessed.
For PDAC, the R1 rate was 57.1 % (48/84) for any margin, 31.0 % (26/84) for anterior surface, 42.9 % (36/84) for posterior surface, 29.8 % (25/84) for medial margin, and 7.1 % (3/84) for pancreatic transection margin. Overall and disease-free survival for R1 resections were significantly worse than those for R0 resection (17.2 vs. 28.7 months, P = 0.007 and 12.3 vs. 21.0 months, P = 0.019, respectively). For individual margins, only medial positivity had a significant impact on survival (13.8 vs. 28.0 months, P < 0.001), as opposed to involvement in the anterior (19.7 vs. 23.3 months, P = 0.187) or posterior margin (17.5 vs. 24.2 months, P = 0.104). Multivariate analysis demonstrated R0 medial margin was an independent prognostic factor (P = 0.002, HR = 0.381; 95 % CI 0.207–0.701).
The medial surgical resection margin is the most important after PD for PDAC, and an R1 resection here predicts poor survival.
KeywordsPancreatic ductal adenocarcinomaPancreaticoduodenectomyMedial resection marginPrognostic factorsSurvival
Pancreatic cancer is the sixth most common cancer and fourth cause of cancer-related death in the Western world.1,2 Surgery remains the only chance for cure, with a dismal 5-year survival ranging from 0 to 5 % for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).3 Few patients (10–15 %) are potentially resectable because of advanced disease at presentation.1,2,4–6
Resection margin status is used to define the extent of resection in patients with PDAC.2,4–6 An R0 resection has no tumor present at the resection margins of the specimen. R1 is defined as microscopic involvement, while R2 is macroscopic involvement of a margin and definitely has a negative impact on outcome after surgery.4,6 With improved surgical techniques and accurate preoperative assessment, R2 resection should be avoided.4,6 The impact of R1 on outcome is debatable.7–11 Both ESPAC-1 and ESPAC-312,13 data reported resection margin status is not an independent risk factor for survival. The main reason for this disparity lies in the lack of international consensus regarding fundamental issues such as the definition of microscopic margin involvement, the constituents of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) specimens, and a standardized protocol (SP) for the pathological examination of these specimens.14 In the USA, many pathologists consider a margin positive if tumor cells are present at the surface of the margin (i.e., tumor extending to the inked margin).15,16 Whereas in Europe, the R1 definition varies, but most regard an involved margin if tumor is present within 1 mm of the resection margin.5,14,17,18 Furthermore, the definition of the CRM is also variable. For example, the anterior margin is usually included in the examination protocol in Europe14,17,18 and Japan,19 but in the USA the notion of the anterior surface or margin has been introduced only recently.20 Reports from Europe have demonstrated the use of SP driven reporting for the pathological examination of the specimen correlates more accurately with treatment outcomes.17,18,21
Currently, resection margins are considered uniformly, with tumors at or close to any margin rated of equal prognostic significance. However, Jamieson and colleagues21 reported that positive mobilization margins alone do not influence survival following PD for PDAC. Furthermore, Schmidt et al. demonstrated that survival after PD was improved by extending resections to achieve negative margins,22 but Hernandez et al. did not.23 It is therefore crucial to recognize the prognostic influence of different resection margins and identify which is the most important.
The present study assessed the frequency of R1 status in the different surgical resection margins after PD to determine their effect on survival in PDAC.
Materials and Methods
Ethics Statement
The study was approved by our institutional review board (Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust), and informed written patient consent was obtained before treatment.
A retrospective study, based on prospectively collected data, was performed in our hospital. Data on patients who underwent PD, including standard pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple's procedure) and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD), for periampullary malignancies between January 2001 and December 2010 were retrieved. This study was limited to patients who underwent PD for PDAC; those patients with ampullary carcinoma, distal cholangiocarcinoma, duodenal carcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, cystadenocarcinoma, metastatic tumors, and benign disease were excluded. Patients who underwent pancreatic resections other than PD (e.g., distal pancreatectomy or total pancreatectomy) were also excluded. Since this study aimed to analyze the prognostic factors for long-term survival, those patients who died perioperatively <30 days following surgery or during the original hospital stay of >30 days were excluded (n = 3). After standard preoperative evaluation, decision to offer surgery was made by our pancreatic multidisciplinary team (MDT), which includes surgeons, radiologists, gastroenterologists, and oncologists. No patients were treated with preoperative chemoradiation therapy. The criteria for resectability were (1) absence of extrapancreatic disease, (2) no involvement of superior mesentery artery (SMA) or celiac axis, and (3) no encasement of superior mesenteric vein (SMV). For patients with localized lesions adjacent to either SMV or portal vein (PV), resection and reconstruction of the SMV, PV, or superior mesenteric–portal vein (SMPV) confluence were performed.
Our pancreaticoduodenectomy surgical techniques have been previously described and have not changed significantly over the last decade.24,25 In brief, standard PD with resection of peripancreatic tissues and lymph nodes (N1) is performed without extended lymphadenectomy (N2/N3). Retroportal resection extends to tissues in the groove between the uncinate process of pancreas and SMA. Segmental resection of the SMV, PV, or SMPV confluence was performed by all surgeons, when the pancreatic head and/or uncinate process could not be separated from the vein without leaving gross tumor on the vessel or risking a venotomy. Arterial involvement was considered to be a contraindication to surgery. Transection margin frozen sections are performed with resection of the pancreatic body until a negative tumor status is obtained.
Postoperatively, all patients were considered for adjuvant therapy by the MDT. The options given included 5-FU with folinic acid, gemcitabine alone or in combination, paclitaxel, capecitabine, radiotherapy, and 5-FU with radiotherapy. Nine patients were considered unsuitable for adjuvant chemo-/chemoradiotherapy on the basis of poor performance status, and ten patients refused any adjuvant therapies after surgery.
Pathological Assessment
In recent years, a novel histopathological dissection technique has been increasingly used in European centers and is based on serial slicing of the entire pancreatic head in a single axial plane (i.e., perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the duodenum). It does not prescribe opening of the pancreatic or bile duct, leaving the CRM intact. The pancreatic head is sliced at 5 mm intervals producing 10–13 slices. These slices are embedded whole in megablocks allowing extensive views of the lesion and its relation to the entire CRM and key anatomical structures.17,21,26 Detailed photographs and figures of the CRM can be seen in the articles by Verbeke et al.17,27 and Jamieson et al.21 Furthermore, the Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery has an excellent teaching video available online describing the standardized protocol for the pathological examination of PD specimens.28
Histological findings were reviewed and specimens were re-examined where necessary by two experienced pathologists (PC and RA) to validate the diagnosis, tumor characteristics, and R1 status of the four margins. Staging was based on the American Joint Committee of Cancer (AJCC) system.29 R1 resection was defined as tumors within 1 mm of a CRM or transection margin. R0 resection was defined as no microscopic or macroscopic tumor, and R2 as macroscopic residual tumor.
Clinical follow-up of patients included computed tomography (CT) every 3 months in the 1st year, 6 months in the 2nd year, and then yearly. If necessary, further imaging was performed to diagnose any metastasis and/or recurrence. Follow-up for surviving patients was until August 2011.
Date and causes of death were determined from phone interviews with the patient's family practitioner, medical records, and death certificates. Overall survival (OS) was defined as the interval between the surgery and death or the last follow-up. Disease recurrence (local and/or distant) was defined as the interval between the date of surgery and the first time of detectable disease, as determined by radiological imaging.
Statistical Analyses
Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 13.0 software (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). Comparisons between two groups were made using Student's t test for continuous data and chi-square test for categorical data. The OS and disease-free survival (DFS) were calculated by Kaplan–Meier method (compared by log-rank test). Prognostic factors for OS and DFS were assessed by multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis (using factors found at univariate analysis). Logistic regression was performed to examine the impact of perioperative variables on margin status. Results are given as mean ± SD or median (range). All tests were two sided, and a P < 0.05 was considered significant.
Patient Characteristics
PD was attempted in 258 patients with 45 patients undergoing a palliative bypass and/or biopsy during that period; the resection rate was 82.6 % (213/258). PD for PDAC was performed in 89 patients (41.8 %, 89/213); the remainder underwent PD for other histological diagnoses. Five patients were excluded; two patients (2.2 %, 2/89) had an R2 resection, and three patients (3.4 %, 3/89) died postoperatively from multi-organ failure (n = 1) or sepsis from a pancreatic leak with delayed hemorrhage (n = 2). Therefore, data for 84 patients were analyzed.
There were 50 male and 34 female patients, with median age of 63.7 years (range, 40.7–79.5 years). The majority (60.7 %, 51/84) were referred with a biliary stent in situ. Pancreatic resection included Whipple's procedure (n = 39, 46.4 %, 39/84) and PPPD (n = 45, 53.6 %, 45/84). Six patients (7.1 %, 6/84) had stage I, 17 (20.2 %, 17/84) had stage IIA, and 61 (72.6 %, 61/84) had stage IIB disease, respectively. Vascular resection was performed in 24 patients (28.6 %, 24/84; of which 11 cases had PV transection with venovenous anastomosis and 13 cases had PV side wall resection without anastomosis). For these 24 patients, 20 cases had true vascular wall invasion confirmed on histology and four cases had only inflammatory adherence. Adjuvant therapy after PD included chemotherapy (5-FU with folinic acid, n = 16; gemcitabine alone, n = 22; gemcitabine in combination, n = 20,) and chemoradiotherapy (5-FU with radiotherapy, n = 7). Adjuvant therapy was not given in 19 patients due to poor performance status (n = 9) and patient refusal (n = 10).

R1 resections consisted of anterior margin in 26 patients (31.0 %, 26/84), posterior margin in 36 (42.9 %, 36/84), medial margin in 25 (29.8 %, 25/84), pancreatic transection margin in 3 (7.1 %, 3/84), with no positive bile duct, gastric, or jejunal margins. Of the 48 patients with R1 resections, 17 patients (35.4 %, 17/48) had only a single margin involved, 21 (43.8 %, 21/48) had two margins involved, and 10 (20.8 %, 10/48) had three or more margins involved.
Overall Survival and Disease-Free Survival
Mean follow-up was 26.4 ± 2.0 months (range, 2.5–73.5 months). At final follow-up, there were 72 deaths, 11 surviving patients, and 1 lost to follow-up (overseas patient). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS were 80.6, 26.2, and 7.2 %, respectively, and the median OS 21.0 months. In subgroup analysis, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS for patients with R0 resection were 91.3, 37.6, and 11.3 %, respectively, and 72.6, 17.9, and 0 %, respectively, for patients with R1 resection. The median OS were 28.7 and 17.2 months, respectively. Patients with R1 resection had a significantly poorer OS than those with R0 resection (P = 0.007, Fig. 1).
The median DFS for patients with R0 and R1 anterior margin were 16.6 and 12.2 months, respectively (P = 0.388); posterior margin 17.3 and 12.7 months, respectively (P = 0.225); and medial margin 21.0 and 8.4 months, respectively (P < 0.001). The DFS was significantly influenced by positivity in the medial resection margin but not in the anterior and posterior margin (Fig. 3).

The variability of R1 resection rate in PDAC after PD has been extensively debated.10,14,17,18 Published R1 resection rates vary greatly ranging from 10 to 84 %7–18 and are lower than the loco-recurrence rates (67 to 87 %).10,14,17,18 Some authors believe that these studies were underreporting the involved resection margin, mostly due to a non-standardized protocol for the pathological examination and definition of microscopic margin involvement.14 Recently, Verbeke et al.17 reported their standardized protocol (SP) according to the guidelines of the UK RCP, which is similar to our protocol, showing an R1 rate of 84.6 % in resected T3 and T4 PDAC. Esposite et al.18 reported their similar protocol developed by the European Study Group for Pancreatic Cancer had an R1 rate of 76 % in resected T3 PDAC. We identified a comparable R1 rate of 67.1 % (48/76) for T3 disease indicating that, with an SP, the R1 rate is more reproducible and higher than in previous reports without SP.
Further debated is the impact of R1 resection on long-term outcomes.10,14,17,18 Many studies have failed to show R1 resection as an independent prognostic factor for long-term survival.10–13 The majority of studies with low rates of R1 resection have failed to demonstrate that R1 status influenced outcome. A multivariate analysis by the University of Indiana did however demonstrate that achieving an R0 margin status influences actual long-term survival.30 The ESPAC-1 trial12 reported an R1 rate of 18 % which was a borderline but not an independent risk factor for survival. The studies with SPs, reporting a higher R1 rate, demonstrated R1 to be an independent prognostic factor, as shown in our study.17,18,21 Jamieson et al.21 and Verbeke et al.17 reported the R1 rate to be as high as 74 and 84.6 %, respectively, and both studies showed R1 resection impacted the survival significantly. More importantly, in these two studies, as well as in ours, the OS rates were similar to those with lower R1 rates, identifying more significant survival benefit of patients in the R0 subgroup. These data suggested that the confusion of the impact of R1 resection on long-term survival might have been due to the underestimated resection margin involvement and the incorrect reporting of R0 resection blurring the difference between the R0 and R1 subgroups.
Different resection margins should theoretically have different impacts on treatment outcome. As gastric, duodenal, jejunal, and bile duct resection margins are rarely reported positive,14,17–19,21,23 in this study the four margins of the CRM were analyzed. With improvements in surgical techniques, standardization of PD resection and general utilization of intraoperative frozen section, the rate of R1 in the pancreatic transection margin has been reduced to <10 % (7.1 % in our cohort, 3/84 patients).14,17–19,21,23 The other resection margins cannot be as easily assessed intra-operatively in this way, and this is perhaps reflected by the positive margins in those 25 patients with an R1 medial margin (i.e., 16 had a R1 posterior margin and 11 also had a R1 anterior margin), indicating that these tumors had spread microscopically as the resections were not R2 by visual assessment.
The anterior margin is not a true resection margin as the surgeon does not transect any tissues in this area. It has been an integral part of the Japanese Pancreas Society classification for many years, and the presence of tumor cells at this surface is likely to increase the risk of local recurrence.19,31,32 However, an R1 anterior surface has not been shown to be a predictor for survival.21 In our study, there was no difference in either OS or DFS between R0 and R1 anterior surface patients. The posterior surface is generally reported to be the most frequently involved margin with an R1 rate of 32.4 to 53.8 % (42.9 % in our cohort).14,17,18,21 The posterior margin is the mobilization margin between pancreas and retroperitoneal fat and is separated by developing embryological planes during PD. Our results demonstrated that R1 posterior margin does not negatively influence survival after PD for PDAC. Similar results were also reported by Jamieson et al.,21 although they grouped anterior, posterior, and duodenal serosal margin together as mobilization margins.
The medial margin is frequently confused, being defined as the "mesenteric," "uncinate," "SMV (SMA) groove," or even "retroperitoneal" margin.10,14,33 In our study, medial margin refers to a true transection margin produced when surgically dividing the uncinate process as close to the mesenteric vasculature as possible. It is on this surface that segments of the SMV, PV, or SMA are found. If the tumor is adhered to major vessels, requiring vascular resection, it is generally regarded as the most difficult and challenging part during PD and may not result in a R0 margin. Our results show that the larger the tumor size, the more frequent is R1 resection in the medial margin. This is potentially due to more advanced disease rather than surgical technique.
Our study confirmed that the medial margin is the most important surgical resection margin predicting long-term OS and DFS for PDAC after PD. Poor survival was seen in patients with R1 compared to R0 medial margins (13.8 vs. 28.0 months), which was more significant than that for R1 in any resection margin (17.2 vs. 28.7 months), even though an R1 medial margin was present in fewer cases. Medial R1 resection was an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis, as R1 resection in anterior and posterior surfaces failed to predict long-term survival. Jamieson et al.21 also demonstrated that transection margins (medial, pancreatic, bile duct, gastric, and jejunal margins), but not mobilization margins (anterior, posterior, and duodenal serosal margins), influence survival following PD. Raut et al.10, however, failed to demonstrate significant impact of SMA margin status on survival, but in their study, the SMA resection margin did not include the SMV groove and the R1 rate was relatively low, only 16.7 % (60/360) for all margins and 14.7 % (53/360) for SMA margin.
Pancreatic resection with en bloc vascular resection is generally performed in experienced centers to ensure a complete resection, although systematic review reported that it has no impact on survival.34 Nakagohri et al. verified that survival rates were similar after PD with or without vascular resection, but microscopic invasion of the PV was significantly associated with poorer survival.35 Their findings support our results that R1 tumor in the medial margin predicts poorer survival.
In conclusion, we show that with an SP for pathological reporting, the medial surgical margin is the most important resection margin in PD for PDAC and R1 resection here predicts poor survival.
Further Considerations
First, the hazard of an R1 medial margin is greater (reducing survival time more than half) than any of the clinico-pathological variables previously established to impact survival in PDAC (e.g., T stage, lymph-node status, etc). While we have attempted to include as many of these relevant factors as possible, there may be unknown variables affecting the analysis. Second, an R1 medial margin is associated with poor outcomes; however, positive anterior or posterior surfaces were not. This may indicate that an R1 medial margin is a surrogate of aggressive biology and further molecular analysis of these primary tumors may help to explain these phenomena.

Northwest Florida Home Center-Jerry Everett
Posted in the Bonifay Forum

I just want everyone to know that Northwest Florida Home Center in Bonifay, Fl. is a place that you DO NOT WANT to do business with. After having a signed contract on a home the owner called to try and get more money from us. He stated he had another person there willing to pay more. What kind of man does this, especially to a pregnant woman who already sold her house! We were set to close yesterday, we paid a deposit, signed a contract and this "business man" decided someone elses money would be better than ours! We already sold our house and now we are going to have to live in a camper!
#2 Oct 24, 2012
You need to report this to the Better Business Bureau and state attorneys office. If tey cannot help you they will tell you who can.
#3 Oct 24, 2012
I already reported it to BBB, but I just want to be sure everyone knows.
#4 Oct 28, 2012
i bought a mobile home from them it was overpriced another MH DEALER TOLD ME I PAID 5 GRAND MORE THAN I SHOULD. THE FLOOR GOT WET BECAUSE THE PIPES UNDERNEATH THE TUB WERE ALL LEAKING AND THE FLOORS FELL TO THE GROUND ONLY A FEW BOARDS IN THE FLOOR WERE PLYWOOD THE REST WAS PARTICAL BOARD. WHEN WE COMPLAINED THEY SAID WHEN YOU BUY A USED MH YOU BUY IT AS IS. I CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THINGS THAT WERE NOT WORKING LIKE LITE SOCKETS ETC. THEY CAME OUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER AND HALF WAY FIXED THEM. I WAS TOLD BY THEIR SECRETARY NOT TO CALL BACK ANYMORE THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO COME BACK. IF YOU BUY A MH FROM THEM MAKE SURE YOU KNOW A GOOD HANDYMAN. I HAVE SPENT 9 GRAND REDOING THIS MH.

Northwest Florida Home Center Home been a local business for nearly 20. Jerry Everett is a good man to work work and deal with. Sounds like two people who are giving half of the story. I'm sure the great people out there would have with you, but you probably couldn't hold up your end of the bargain. If you truly had a contract, I highly doubt you would be just bitching about it, and would probably actually pursue it. Save the whole I am pregnant and already sold my house crap. That's not plausible either. Everyone who knows Jerry Everett knows better. He is a good man, and his business will last because of his integrity. Its not going to go down the drain because of one self pitying person, who has nothing better to do than complain.
#6 Nov 1, 2012
Wow, you are so smart I love how you know everything. And as a matter of fact my husband and I have gotten a lawyer, we reported it to the BBB, and my post on Topix was to inform others. I'm sorry if I offended you, you obviously have some close relationship with Jerry Everett but it is a free country. We have already found another house to buy so as far as not holding up our end of the bargain you would be wrong.
#7 Nov 1, 2012
He does not know the meaning of the word integrity.Ever time I think of how he ripped me off I get mad all overagain
#8 Nov 1, 2012
I am sorry but past experience with Jerry has not been good he may still be in business but it is not because of his integrity - it because people are so mad about being put in that position they pay the extra just to get the new home, it is easier than going somewhere else and starting all over and most of the people that buy from here think that he and his wife because of their families can be trusted they can be but we have to remember small town so they have been doing this for a while they embarress people by making them think there was a mistake when really they are just making money- but once burned by them from him doing the same thing to my son was enough - we do not send anyone there and tell them to go somewhere else anywhere else just not there
#9 Nov 1, 2012
Sorry get a life either your his wife or you work for him because it is funny you did not denie that yall do that - he has been doing this for years.
#10 May 30, 2013
I wish I had seen this before I bought a home from there. I know what these people are talking about. I got the whole story from Jerry about how long he had been there and the little bitchy secretary asking me now to call back anymore. I bought a large trailer and paid extra to have it refurbished. They took longer to do that than agreed on and now that he has all my money Ican't get the workers to finish the inside of the house. I have called for over three weeks to be told by Jerry that someone would be there that day and told when I got the secretary that they were done and please don't call because she was tired of hearing the phone ring. LOL what are secretaries for then. She must be related to him.
#11 Apr 26, 2014
Seems like a trend to me. My mother bought a very large newer expensive DW trailer from him. They delivered it and that was it. Roof leaks still and front door wont close. Called probably literally 100 times. Says someone will be out there but never shows. He has no idea what the word integrity means. NO CLUE!
#12 May 1, 2014
I worked for a company that did his repairs, and this is all fact, he did enough repair jus to get by with
#13 Mar 28, 2015
You need to get a life with some honesty in it. Maybe God can help you. Jerry Everett is a rip off and always has been. I feel for this woman and her husband. Jerry Everett ripped my mother off the same way. As far as I am concerned, Jerry Everett is a thief and a liar, and damn good at it. Don't try to hide, cover up or lie for an individual that has NO integrity. The man needs to be put out of business! I'm just getting started.
#14 Mar 28, 2015
What lawyer did you hire? How did that work out for you? I want Jerry Everett's head on a platter. This man has ripped off every customer he has ever had. I'd like to see him put out of business!

Northwest Florida Home Center- Jerry Everett
Okay, let me tell you the story about Jerry Everett and his business. One year ago,(Oct. 2014), my mother bought a used mobile home from Jerry Everett and his company, Northwest Florida Home Center. Jerry Everett promised my mother that this home would be like new when he finished it. He took a down payment of half the money,($20,000.00) before he would deliver the home and then took more than a month to get it delivered. Once the home was delivered, it was a constant game of phone tag to get Jerry Everett on the phone. His little secretary plays right in to the business of ripping people off, and has become very well versed at this game. She will tell you he is out of town when he is right there in that office. She also gets upset easily when you call with a problem. It is one year later now,(Oct.2015), and the home is none for the better. It was always,someone will be out there tomorrow.Someone will be out there first of next week. I guess time stands still for Jerry Everett because tomorrow never comes nor does next week. I have had to fix all the major problems with this mobile home and re-do a lot of the things his un-qualified people have tried to fix. I went as far as to consult an attorney and send Jerry a certified letter asking him once again to fix the problems with the mobile home that he promise he would. Well, one year later and I just fixed the light fixture in the kitchen and the overhead light in the stove that Jerry hired an independent contractor to repair and never did. In my opinion, Jerry Everett is a June Bug, out for himself and takes advantage of any and everyone that he does business with. I would HIGHLY recommend that if you are in the market for a used mobile home, do yourself the biggest favor you can do and go somewhere else. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH Jerry Everett, and if you so choose, be very, very careful.
#17 Oct 30, 2015
If the situation is as bad as u claim, then report him. Report him BBB and to the state...if he's ripping people off, then once reported it can't be ignored. Problem solved
#18 Oct 30, 2015
File a report, also hire an attorney.

I've been going back and forth with them for over seven months and they still don't care that my duct work is falling out and my insulation is falling out from being soaked with water from uninsured pipes. It's legal time now. My daughter's room is the only place that the a/c actually flows to, since it's right beside the unit, so when winter comes her room will be hot enough to cause serious health issues, if not worse. I'm done with their b.s..

Hamilton's McKeil Marine has been on a growth spurt, thanks to finding new customers and revenue streams.
The biggest challenge now is finding the workers to fill the new jobs. That might come as a surprise in a city where about 30,000 people are out of work.
But it illustrates a problem across the transportation and logistics sector, according to a report officially unveiled Wednesday by Workforce Planning Hamilton.
The city has identified the industry as an important cluster for Hamilton's economic growth, especially in light of growing traffic congestion and a lack of affordable industrial land in the GTA.
As well, a number of business organizations have come together to create an academic centre of excellence called the McMaster Institute for Transportation and Logistics and to form TransHub Ontario to promote the region's potential as a major North American gateway.
But the entire goods movement and logistic sector is facing a labour shortage it must address, says the report, Make It, Move It, Ship It.
McKeil is almost constantly hiring, especially seagoing workers to operate the vessels, says human resources director, Melissa Steen.
The work takes people away from home for long stretches and is often seen as laborious and difficult, she says. But it's also a chance to travel and work with a team for good wages at all levels. Plus training comes with the job, she says.
Marine shipper Algoma Central Marine in St. Catharines also faces a labour crunch, says Doug Dorn, a crewing co-ordinator.
"I think it's a global problem … There are not enough people interested in a career at sea."
Monday's event was meant to draw attention to the report and bring together industry employers and training schools with students and job seekers. It was the first event held in the newly completed expansion of Williams Fresh Café on the waterfront.
Richard Koroscil, former CEO of the Hamilton airport, who is now a consultant in the transportation sector, urged young people to give the sector a look.
"Those of you thinking of getting into the business, now is a great time because it's all starting to build. And Hamilton will be at the centre of it."
The report's authors suggest the industry's labour challenges come from a lack of awareness of the sector, a negative image of the work as "unglamorous, difficult and not family friendly", an aging workforce (especially in trucking) and a low number of local workers engaged in the sector.
The study, which also sought input from local employers, makes a number of recommendations:
• Tap into local talent, including partnerships with post-secondary institutions, offering mentorships and encouraging school boards to make goods movement and logistics part of the Specialist High Skills Major offered in high schools;
• Attract more career seekers to the sector by revamping its image, "getting on the radar" of students and job seekers; and highlighting lucrative, interesting jobs the industry offers;
• Improve transit, especially to the Hamilton airport, in order to make jobs more accessible;
• Plan for upcoming waves of retirements by using experienced workers to train new hires.
Providing a labour force for the transportation and logistics industry is crucial to the Hamilton economy, said John Dolbec, CEO of TransHub. He said those jobs go well beyond driving a forklift or truck and include well-paying and sophisticated jobs in areas such as inventory management.
The city's economic development strategy for 2010 to 2015 says Hamilton is the only municipality in Ontario with all four modes of goods transportation — marine, air, road and rail — within its borders.
Hamilton is also in an enviable position in terms of access to major markets in the GTA and the U.S., according the WPH report. Goods movement and logistics employs about 75,000 people in Hamilton, according to the 2006 census.
Fully capitalizing on Hamilton's geography and transportation network could bring close to 60,000 jobs to the city over the next two decades, according to the MITL.
Neil Everson, director of economic development division, says Hamilton's transportation network has already landed major businesses, including Navistar, Stackpole and Parrish & Heimbecker.
The new Canada Bread plant delivers product over a huge swath of Ontario. "Canada Bread has to have its bread out of the ovens and on store shelves within eight hours … That's not possible in the GTA but it's possible here."

To ensure an appropriate response in framing the state women's policy, which aims to recognise the concerns of marginalised communities like transgender women and sex workers, the expert committee will have representation of these communities as well, said Minister for Women and Child Varsha Gaikwad while addressing a state-level consultation in Mumbai on Designing a Social Inclusion Plan for Marginal and Vulnerable Communities.
The consultation, which was organised by the State Women and Child Development Department, State Women's Commission in collaboration with the National Mission for Empowerment of Women (NMEW), Ministry of Women and Child and the Centre for Advocacy and Research (CFAR), brought together senior officials from all social sector departments, NGOs, community-based organisations and experts.
Speaking about the process adopted by the government to frame the women's policy, the minister said a committee of MLAs, MPs and NGOs has been formed which will be expanded to include three representatives from transgender women and sex worker communities to ensure that their concerns get reflected in the policy document. She added that the Department of Women and Child Development is also willing to address concerns of transgenders and to ensure their integration into all social development programmes and schemes.
Concerned over rise in cases of violence against women in vulnerable situations, activists suggested forming a band of 'Ahimsa Messengers' as sex workers face multiple forms of violence by goons and partners. "We will constitute a group of 20 sex workers in each district who will be trained to become Ahimsa Messengers and they will work towards dealing with violence and crisis experienced by the community," a statement issued by CFAR said.
At the panel discussion on anti-trafficking, the community voiced its concerns over police violence during raids and rescue attempts. Transgender rights activist Laxmi Tripathi said in many instances transgenders were assaulted and detained by the police without any due process.
