AUSTIN (February 24, 2013)--More than 2,000 teachers, students, parents and school administrators from around Texas rallied Saturday at the state Capitol to demand the restoration of $5.4 billion in public education cuts the Legislature approved in 2011.
Former state Education Commissioner Robert Scott joined a group of mostly Democratic Texas lawmakers at Saturday's annual event, organized by Save Texas Schools and other advocacy groups.
Turnout appeared lighter than previously hoped, though, with the biannual Legislature now in session.
The 2011 cuts prompted more than 600 school districts to sue, and a judge ruled recently that funding was inadequate and unfairly distributed.
The state is appealing the ruling.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of state lawmakers is discussing the possibility of restoring as much as nearly $1 billion to schools without exceeding current state budget spending limits.

The Daily Startup: Third Rock Bets Once More on Gene Therapy
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Third Rock Ventures, which saw gene-therapy holding Bluebird Bio Inc. go public last year, is placing another bet in the field by launching Voyager Therapeutics Inc. with $45 million in Series A financing. Gene therapy is the use of genes to treat disease. Voyager Therapeutics is developing gene therapies for Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Friedreich's ataxia, a rare inherited disease that causes nervous system damage and movement problems.
The stars of selfies might also enjoy broadcasting live video about themselves–that's the premise that helped Yevvo Entertainment Inc., developer of a mobile app for streaming live video, raise a $3.7 million Series A round, led by new Israel venture firm Aleph.
Also in today's VentureWire, Opower Inc., a company that contracts with utilities to help homeowners reduce energy use, has submitted a confidential filing for an initial public offering, according to two people familiar with the matter. Citi Ventures has invested in Platfora Inc., one of several fast-growing Silicon Valley companies that are helping corporate customers make better use of their data by taking advantage of the Big Data storage software Hadoop…and International Business Machines Corp. has made its first investment from its "Watson" fund, participating in a $22.1 million Series C round for Welltok Inc., which offers a health-optimization platform that health insurers and employer groups can roll out to members of their health plans.

Lower incomes; higher taxes
To no one's surprise, golfer Phil Mickelson has been pilloried in the news media and halls of government for daring to grouse about his tax burden. Even TV commentators at last weekend's PGA tournament in Phoenix took him to task, with one calling his complaint "his double-bogey."
The news media say he exaggerated in saying his local, state (California) and federal taxes consume 63 percent of his income. According to "journalists" and others who've never seen his financials, he pays closer to 50 percent, which to them is reasonable since the rich "don't pay their fair share."

Consumer Information - Hot Items
The United States Mint frequently receives inquiries from consumers who have confused coin-related products from private companies with genuine United States coinage. This page includes information about these products, plus other coin-related issues that may be of interest to our customers and to the general public. As more public inquires are received and new issues arise, additional information will be added, so remember to check this page for updates.
Public Availability of Presidential $1 Coins
It has come to the attention of the United States Mint that several companies have been advertising United States Mint Presidential $1 Coins with potentially misleading and deceptive claims that the "circulation" of Presidential $1 Coins has been "suspended." One company is falsely claiming that new designs are no longer available. Additionally, the United States Mint has learned that PCS Stamps and Coins of Norwalk, Connecticut, is making the following erroneous claim in its marketing materials: "The U.S. Mint coin presses have been OFFICIALLY SUSPENDED for circulating Presidential Dollars." PCS Stamps and Coins also has been mailing an "Official Settlement Notice," asking consumers to mail in an "Official Settlement Claim Form" with a "Claim Number" within 10 days to "reserve . . . The Complete U.S. Presidential Coin Collection before supplies are exhausted."
These types of statements are potentially deceptive and misleading to consumers because the United States Mint has not suspended the Presidential $1 Coin Program. To the contrary, the Secretary of the Treasury ordered only that the United States Mint suspend the minting of Presidential $1 Coins issued for circulation to the Federal Reserve Banks.
The United States Mint will continue to mint and sell to the public each new design of the Presidential $1 Coins, in the order of each President's period of service, until each President has been so honored. The United States Mint currently makes available for sale to the public circulating quality Presidential $1 Coins in bags, rolls, and other packaging, as well as uncirculated and proof quality Presidential $1 Coins in sets and other collector products.

Get down and dirty in the garden
by Heidi Cardenas
Heidi Cardenas, salad boxes, growing lettuce, gardening, vegetable gardening, mesclun, lettuce
Based in Lake County, Illinois, Heidi Cardenas has been freelancing since 2000. She studied business administration at the College of Lake County and has a background in human resources administration. She has written for "Chicago Parent Magazine" and guest blogs for The Herb Companion, Natural Living and TribLocal. She enjoys writing on a wide range of topics, but especially gardening, natural living, and home and family eco topics, and she helps you get your green on at HCGreenery.blogspot.com.
It's easy to prepare salad boxes to grow your own spring lettuce and other greens. Use plastic milk crates or wooden produce crates lined with 1/2-inch mesh hardware cloth, filled with rich, light potting soil mixed with aged compost. Milk and produce crates are easy to pick up and move. They can be placed on top of two-by-fours atop sawhorses to raise them to waist height for easier access. If temperatures are below 30 degrees, use 1/2-inch flexible PVC pipe arches covered with plastic sheeting to warm up the soil and protect seedlings. If you'd rather not use plastic, you can use reclaimed glass windows to cover boxes in cold weather.
The great thing about planting in boxes, cold frames, hotbeds or greenhouses is that you can control the plants' environment more than in the open garden. Fresh salad greens you grow yourself give you more control over what you eat than buying salad ingredients at the grocery store. When you plant lettuce outside in early spring, soil temperature should be at least 45 degrees. (You can easily check this with a soil thermometer.) When nighttime soil temperatures are consistently above 45 degrees, you can plant seeds of lettuce and greens outside. Water the soil lightly every three days until seeds sprout. Make sure seedlings are in a full-sun location. Some lettuces are ready to harvest in as few as 25 days. Depending on the variety, greens planted in early March can be snipped for salads by May.
There's a very wide variety of salad lettuces and greens to grow in early spring. One of my favorites is mesclun mix, with greens such as chervil, spring lettuces, spinach, rocket, dandelion, mustard greens and many others. This lettuce seed mix produces tasty baby salad greens every week for salads and sandwich dressings. Mini Green Improved is a small-head lettuce that grows into tennis ball-size heads and is perfect for growing in salad boxes. Spinach and watercress are some of the earliest and tastiest leafy green crops for spring growing. There are so many early spring salad greens, you'll have a hard time choosing which ones to grow.
As long as you're planting lettuces and greens, why not start tomatoes and peppers now too? These can't be started outside unless you have heated cold frames or hotbeds or are lucky enough to have a greenhouse. But warm-season vegetable seeds planted inside now will be big enough by early June to get a really good head start on your vegetable garden and get an earlier harvest than the rest of the neighborhood.

Dogs aren't the only ones in need of a refresher course; Roby recommends hunters use the weeks leading up to opening day to visit a sporting-clays course.
Targets on a sporting-clays course tend to replicate realistic hunting situations, says Roby, and the more comfortable you get with shooting a small, 4-inch target screaming across the course, the more comfortable and confident you will be in the field.
The "aim small, miss small" attitude adopted by many shooters translates well to a waterfowl hunter who focuses on the head of a decoying bird, Roby adds.
"By focusing on the green head of a mallard or the white cheek-patch of a honker you are concentrating more on a target rather than on the bird as a whole," says Roby. "And if your aiming point is the head of the bird, you are increasing your lead by 6 to 12 inches, which lessens your chance of shooting behind or crippling the bird."

Orange Regional Medical Pavilion75 Crystal Run RoadMiddletown, NY 10941845-695-5813DirectionsIf you and your doctor decide that surgery is the best option, a pre-surgical risk assessment will be done by your doctor, and if necessary, a pre-surgical testing appointment will be scheduled. During this appointment, a nurse will perform an assessment and interview to determine what tests are required prior to surgery and obtain your medical history. Any lab tests, EKG and/or chest x-ray if required will be completed. If a medical physician evaluation is indicated, or you need to be seen by an anesthesia provider, that will take place at the time of your PST appointment as well. This enables the surgeon performing your procedure to have a better understanding of your current medical condition, address any identified risk factors and avoid possible delays on the day of your surgery. You will also be given instructions and information for the day of your surgery and have the opportunity to ask and address any questions or concerns.

"The Berthold Tristar is a reliable, consistent, effective multi mode plate reader. It has up to 4 available injectors. Reads absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence. It is relatively user friendly, you can set up your own protocols with a minimum of effort and easily save variations on each protocol. The analysis software takes a little bit of use to become familiar with, however it is a good platform with no glitches or hang ups. The service personnel at Berthold are great. They can help you fix many issues just over the phone. I highly recommend the Tristar. Great value."

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|Case for the Defendants >
|Case for Mr Irving >>
5.111It is common ground between the Defendants and Irving that, from about the summer of 1941 onwards until the end of 1942, a large number of Jews in the area of the General Government (as a large part of occupied Poland was called) were shot and killed by Nazi Einsatzgruppen. There are issues between the parties as to the scale of the executions which took place and as to whether Hitler approved or knew of the executions. I shall revert to these issues when I come to deal later in the judgment with the extent of Hitler's knowledge of and responsibility for the mass extermination of the Jews.
5.112The immediate issue relates to the manner in which Irving deals in his published works with the circumstances under which the Berlin Jews who, as I have just described, were deported to Riga came to be executed by Jeckeln and his henchmen.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – June 26, 2013 – Joseph Mazon, of Califon, N.J., was elected to Ducks Unlimited Inc.'s national board of directors during the organization's annual convention held recently in Portland, Ore.
"The leadership of our board of directors ensures we are fulfilling our mission to conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl," said DU CEO Dale Hall. "Our board members are not paid for their work; rather they volunteer their time and resources because they feel so strongly about conservation. I welcome each new member and look forward to working with them in the years to come."
Mazon is a portfolio manager and investment strategist at MetLife. He is rejoining the board after a previous period of service, and is also a board member of Ducks Unlimited Canada. He enjoys hunting, fishing and camping, as well as baseball and golf. He and his wife, Lisa Happy, have two children, Kylie and Josh.
"I am very excited to rejoin the board," Mazon said. "I look forward to helping Ducks Unlimited fulfill its mission and protect the natural wonders we call wetlands."
For a complete list of DU's volunteer board of directors, please visit www.ducks.org.
Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

Your little dinosaur explorer can look official with a Dino Dan patch. Have them pick their favorite dino design and iron it on to a T-shirt.
Find the dino detective only on Nick Jr.
Print either the reversed or non-reversed images from the Dino Dan Iron-on Templates depending on the type of your iron-on transfer paper. Print a test on regular paper first to make sure you've chosen the right design for the type of iron-on paper you have. Set the template aside for a few minutes to dry, and then cut out the image--cutting close to the colored edge of the image. Kids can definitely help with this part.
Preheat the iron and fold the towel into thirds on a countertop or other hard surface. To further protect your countertop, you may want to place a magazine or a large book under the towel. To achieve best results, however, don't use an ironing board.
If you printed the reversed image, place the cut-out facedown on the T-shirt, vest, or other piece of clothing. If you printed the non-reversed image, peel off its backing and place the image faceup on the garment. Cover with the protective sheet that comes with your transfer paper. Iron the Dino Dan image with a firm and steady pressure in a circular motion. Start at one corner and work your way slowly to the opposite corner, and then use the same technique for the other two corners. Finish by moving the iron in a circular motion around the entire area for about 10 to 15 seconds, applying steady pressure.
If you ironed the image facedown, start at one corner and slowly peel the backing away from the garment. If you ironed the image faceup, simply remove the protective sheet.
Print the non-reversed image onto a sheet of fabric transfer paper. Carefully set the printable aside and allow it to dry for at least 10 minutes. When it's dry, your child can cut out the image, peel away the backing, and apply it directly to the garment using fabric glue.

Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind
Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were stored in forests and other ecosystems and in vast reserves of fossil fuels. In just the last few hundred years, humans extracted exploitable energy from these living and fossilized biomass fuels to build the modern industrial-technological-informational economy, to grow our population to more than 7 billion, and to transform the biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity of the earth. This rapid discharge of the earth's store of organic energy fuels the human domination of the biosphere, including conversion of natural habitats to agricultural fields and the resulting loss of native species, emission of carbon dioxide and the resulting climate and sea level change, and use of supplemental nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar energy sources. The laws of thermodynamics governing the trickle-charge and rapid discharge of the earth's battery are universal and absolute; the earth is only temporarily poised a quantifiable distance from the thermodynamic equilibrium of outer space. Although this distance from equilibrium is comprised of all energy types, most critical for humans is the store of living biomass. With the rapid depletion of this chemical energy, the earth is shifting back toward the inhospitable equilibrium of outer space with fundamental ramifications for the biosphere and humanity. Because there is no substitute or replacement energy for living biomass, the remaining distance from equilibrium that will be required to support human life is unknown.

In this thinkpiece for The Next System Project, David Korten sets out his 'natural case for sharing'. No-one has a right to own or control, for his or her exclusive private benefit, a share of assets essential to living far beyond any conceivable personal need, if this results in depriving others of a means to life, he argues. Redistribution to achieve a semblance of economic democracy is not only just, it is an imperative of a viable human future.

The Greenhouse Heads Toward Completion
In search of a salvaged door for the new greenhouse we went back to Recycletown at the Sonoma County Dump in Petaluma. Nothing caught our eye in the door section so we headed over to the windows again. After measuring and brainstorming we found a skinny window that matched the ones we had already installed. My husband decided to make a door out of that window and voila! We had our greenhouse door. The window in the lower right corner of the picture above is the one we took home that day.
Framed with more Redwood water tank wood and fitted with a Victorian era knob and latch found in an old farm's garbage pit the door came out perfect!
Fitted with re-purposed plexiglass from our friend Sylvia's printmaking studio and stained glass left over from a prior project the greenhouse is getting closer to completion. Leaded glass windows left over from my parents' house remodel join the 'new' door. The only thing actually new about the greenhouse is the polycarbonate roofing, Univent, nails, screws and the roof cap.
One rainy and windy day last month I spent some time sowing seeds in the new greenhouse. It was warm and dry inside. The beautiful colors of the wood and glass brought 'a tear to me eye!'. I felt like I was right where I was supposed to be at that moment. That is one good feeling!
Those seeds have now been transplanted and the extras have been doled out to friends.
Some went to their new home across town in a bicycle basket and some were carried to neighbors on foot. The greenhouse is doing its job and doing it well!

In 1823, Heinrich Albert Probst (1791-1846) founded his Leipzig publishing firm, and achieved substantial success relatively early. However, he soon (1836) sold the firm to Carl Friedrich Kistner (1797-1844), whereupon its renaming. Probst later became Breitkopf's Paris agent, purchasing the rights for works of Chopin and others for them1. Kistner expanded the firm substantially, adding works by contemporary German composers like Schumann, Mendelssohn, Moscheles, Gade, Joachim and Hiller.
In the decades following Kistner's death, the emphasis on German and Central European composers continued, with first editions by Liszt, Reinecke, Smetana, Franz and Bruch. The Kistner firm was sold in 1919 to brothers Carl and Richard Linnemann, proprietors of the rival Leipzig publisher C.F.W. Siegel since 1869. At this point Siegel, 80 years old, had a stock of 16891 editons, while Kistner, 100 years old, had 10924 editions. The name was changed to Kistner & Siegel in 1923.
Though devasted the by allied bombing of Leipzig in 1944-45, the firm re-opened after the war in West Germany in 1948.

Eye Health Center
How It Is Done
Direct ophthalmoscopy
This type of exam can be done with or without eyedrops.
- Your eyes may be dilated and you will be seated in a darkened room and asked to stare straight ahead at some distant spot in the room.
- Looking through the ophthalmoscope, your doctor will move very close to your face and shine a bright light into one of your eyes. Each eye is examined separately.
- Try to hold your eyes steady without blinking.
This exam takes a few minutes.
Indirect ophthalmoscopy
This type of eye exam gives a more complete view of the retina than direct ophthalmoscopy. It is usually done by an ophthalmologist.
- Your eyes will be dilated and you may be asked to sit upright with your head on a chin rest in a darkened room.
- Your doctor will hold your eye open, shine a very bright light into it, and examine it through a special lens.
- Your doctor may ask you to look in different directions and may apply pressure to your eyeball through the skin of your eyelids with a small, blunt instrument to help bring the edges of your fundus into view.
This exam takes a few minutes.
How It Feels
Direct ophthalmoscopy
During direct ophthalmoscopy, you may hear a clicking sound as the instrument is adjusted to focus on different structures in the eye. The light is sometimes very intense, and you may see spots for a short time following the exam. Some people report seeing light spots or branching images. These are actually the outlines of the blood vessels of the retina.
Indirect ophthalmoscopy
With indirect ophthalmoscopy, the light is much more intense and may be somewhat uncomfortable. Pressure applied to your eyeball with the blunt instrument also may be uncomfortable. After-images are common with this test. If the test is painful, let the doctor know.
When dilating eyedrops are used
Dilating drops may make your eyes sting and cause a medicine taste in your mouth. You will have trouble focusing your eyes for up to 12 hours after your eyes have been dilated. Your distance vision usually is not affected as much as your near vision, though your eyes may be very sensitive to light. Do not drive for several hours after your eyes have been dilated. Wearing sunglasses may make you more comfortable until the effect of the drops wears off. To learn more, see the topic Dilated Eye Exam.

Home > Wellness Resources > Health Library > Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Extrahepatic bile duct cancer is a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the ducts that are outside the liver.
The extrahepatic bile duct is made up of two parts:
The extrahepatic bile duct is part of a network of ducts (tubes) that connect the liver, gallbladder, and small intestine. This network begins in the liver where many small ducts collect bile (a fluid made by the liver to break down fats during digestion). The small ducts come together to form the right and left hepatic ducts, which lead out of the liver. The two ducts join outside the liver and form the common hepatic duct. Bile from the liver passes through the hepatic ducts, common hepatic duct and cystic duct and is stored in the gallbladder.
When food is being digested, bile stored in the gallbladder is released and passes through the cystic duct to the common bile duct and into the small intestine.Anatomy of the extrahepatic bile ducts. The extrahepatic bile ducts are small tubes that carry bile outside of the liver. They are made up of the common hepatic duct (hilum region) and the common bile duct (distal region). Bile is made in the liver and flows through the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct to the gallbladder, where it is stored. Bile is released from the gallbladder when food is being digested.
Having colitis or certain liver diseases can increase the risk of extrahepatic bile duct cancer.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. Talk with your doctor if you think you may be at risk. Risk factors include having any of the following disorders:
Signs and symptoms of extrahepatic bile duct cancer include jaundice and pain.
These and other signs and symptoms may be caused by extrahepatic bile duct cancer or by other conditions. Check with your doctor if you have any of the following:
Tests that examine the bile duct and liver are used to detect (find) and diagnose extrahepatic bile duct cancer.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
Treatment options may also depend on the symptoms caused by the tumor. Extrahepatic bile duct cancer is usually found after it has spread and can rarely be removed completely by surgery. Palliative therapy may relieve symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life.
After extrahepatic bile duct cancer has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if cancer cells have spread within the bile duct or to other parts of the body.
The process used to find out if cancer has spread within the extrahepatic bile duct or to other parts of the body is called staging. The information gathered from the staging process determines the stage of the disease. It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment.
Extrahepatic bile duct cancer may be staged following a laparotomy. A surgical incision is made in the wall of the abdomen to check the inside of the abdomen for signs of disease and to remove tissue and fluid for examination under a microscope. The results of the diagnostic imaging tests, laparotomy, and biopsy are viewed together to determine the stage of the cancer. Sometimes, a laparoscopy will be done before the laparotomy to see if the cancer has spread. If the cancer has spread and cannot be removed by surgery, the surgeon may decide not to do a laparotomy.
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
Cancer can spread through tissue, the lymph system, and the blood:
Cancer may spread from where it began to other parts of the body.
When cancer spreads to another part of the body, it is called metastasis. Cancer cells break away from where they began (the primary tumor) and travel through the lymph system or blood.
The metastatic tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if extrahepatic bile duct cancer spreads to the liver, the cancer cells in the liver are actually extrahepatic bile duct cancer cells. The disease is metastatic extrahepatic bile duct cancer, not liver cancer.
There are two staging systems for extrahepatic bile duct cancer.
Extrahepatic bile duct cancer has two staging systems. The staging system used depends on where in the extrahepatic bile duct the cancer first formed.
The following stages are used for perihilar extrahepatic bile duct cancer:
Stage 0 (Carcinoma in Situ)
In stage 0, abnormal cells are found in the innermost layer of tissue lining the perihilar bile duct. These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Stage 0 is also called carcinoma in situ.
Stage I
In stage I, cancer has formed in the innermost layer of the wall of the perihilar bile duct and has spread into the muscle and fibrous tissue of the wall.
Stage II
In stage II, cancer has spread through the wall of the perihilar bile duct to nearby fatty tissue or to the liver.
Stage III
Stage III is divided into stages IIIA and IIIB.
Stage IV
Stage IV is divided into stages IVA and IVB.
The following stages are used for distal extrahepatic bile duct cancer:
In stage 0, abnormal cells are found in the innermost layer of tissue lining the distal bile duct. These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Stage 0 is also called carcinoma in situ.
In stage I, cancer has formed. Stage I is divided into stages IA and IB.
Stage II is divided into stages IIA and IIB.
In stage III, cancer has spread to the large vessels that carry blood to the organs in the abdomen. Cancer may have spread to nearby lymph nodes.
In stage IV, cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver or lungs.
Extrahepatic bile duct cancer can also be grouped according to how the cancer may be treated. There are two treatment groups:
Localized (and resectable)
The cancer is in an area where it can be removed completely by surgery.
Unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic
Unresectable cancer cannot be removed completely by surgery. Most patients with extrahepatic bile duct cancer have unresectable cancer.
Recurrent cancer is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. Extrahepatic bile duct cancer may come back in the bile duct or in other parts of the body.
Metastasis is the spread of cancer from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body. Metastatic extrahepatic bile duct cancer may have spread to nearby blood vessels, the liver, the common bile duct, nearby lymph nodes, other parts of the abdominal cavity, or to distant parts of the body.
There are different types of treatment for patients with extrahepatic bile duct cancer.
Different types of treatment are available for patients with extrahepatic bile duct cancer. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Three types of standard treatment are used:
The following types of surgery are used to treat extrahepatic bile duct cancer:
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI website.
Radiation sensitizers
Clinical trials are studying ways to improve the effect of radiation therapy on tumor cells, including the following:
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
Localized Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer
Treatment of localized extrahepatic bile duct cancer may include the following:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with localized extrahepatic bile duct cancer. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. Talk with your doctor about clinical trials that may be right for you. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Unresectable, Recurrent, or Metastatic Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer
Treatment of unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic extrahepatic bile duct cancer is usually within a clinical trial. Treatment may include the following:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with unresectable extrahepatic bile duct cancer, recurrent extrahepatic bile duct cancer and metastatic extrahepatic bile duct cancer. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. Talk with your doctor about clinical trials that may be right for you. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Editorial changes were made to this summary.
About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the treatment of extrahepatic bile duct cancer. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

At 4 p.m. last night, it was a balmy 70 degrees in Hollywood, and Elton John could not have asked for better weather for his Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party held on the cusp of the Pacific Design Center. And the evening had only just begun.
The fab affair, sponsored by Audi Wells Fargo, Chopard and Grey Goose, brought out a record number of people and raised a record $6 million for Sir Elton's AIDS Foundation.
Gordon Ramsey donned his chef's garb (at least momentarily) to whip up the night's edibles, while guests like Steven Tyler, Jared Harris, Molly Sims, Zac Efron (who seemed to want to maintain a very low profile this eve) and Nicki Minaj made the rounds. Trying to keep a low profile was Bono with beautiful daughter Eve Hewson – both of whom jetted off as soon as the awards were over to cross-town (well, really a mere 1.5 miles) over to the Vanity Fair soiree. (Truth be told, on this evening, that could take up to an hour and half with traffic).
During the course of the evening, singer Chris Brown made his way easily through the crowd, and surprisingly was not reviled, but instead revered, as he jumped from table to table.
Jim Carrey – who we've not seen much of as of late, sat at Table 35 surrounded by Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler. While Randy was bedecked in a swank 50's inspired ensemble talking up the newly single Carmen Electra in va va voom brick red and black satin, during the commercial breaks, Steven Tyler was wearing – well, Steven Tyler. Mr. Carrey – not to be comedically outdone by anyone donned a pair of white wings attached to his cashmere jacket. He also forgot to wear shoes, and to say that he had big feet, (see the attached photo) is an understatement. At the next table, Khloe Kardashian was in puce next to Heidi Klum in a multitude of ostrich feathers next to Molly Sims in white silk and sequins, next to the lone man – but a happy one no less – Kyle MacLachlan. Kim and Kourtney stopped by the table to say hi to their sis – Kim was in white
After the show, there was a quick round of charitable auction action – things got very heated at one point, when Dave Grohl and Chelsea Handler (with Andre Balaz by her side) went head to head in an attempt to garner the tony prize of 5 days at Steven Tyler's compound in Molokai (Tyler exclaimed that this place was so remote, you could walk around naked all day long). Chelsea outbid Grohl when she hit $240,000 for the package, but alas, she was outbid by someone else hiding out at one of the lone tables, far from the maddening Hollywood crowd.
Who else was there? Britney Spears, Louise Roe, Mel B, Peter Facinielli, Nicole Richie, Nina Garcia, Steve Tisch, Anna Paquin; Stephen Moyer, Sammi Rotibi, Miley Cyrus, Gabrielle Anwar, Kelly Osbourne, Jane Lynch…though many split soon after the auction ended and the entertainment began for the likes of Vanity Fair, Fox Searchlight, and maybe – just maybe – Madonna's party which would start up around midnight.

Facebook Releases Diversity Numbers
The percentage of ethnic minorities and women at Facebook is in line with other big players in tech, according to numbers it released to the public Wednesday. But that's not good enough, says Maxine Williams, the company's global head of diversity.
"As these numbers show, we have more work to do–a lot more," she said in a statement.
Facebook's global staff is comprised of 31% women, according the data, and women serve in only 15% of the company's tech jobs.
The company only gave ethnicity figures for U.S. workers; only 2.7% of its workforce is black and 4% Hispanic, while 57% of employees are white and 34% are Asian.
Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg had said last week the company would release the numbers, speaking during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. She is the author of "Lean In," a bestselling book that advocates a more prominent role for women in business.
The company's announcement came amid a wave of similar disclosures from other technology companies, including Google, Yahoo and LinkedIn.
The companies were already required to disclose the numbers to the federal government, but weren't required to tell the public.
Several other tech companies declined to release the numbers.
In a statement, Facebook said it is working on ways to solve its diversity problem, including launching a strategic diversity team last year to increase hiring of underrepresented groups and that it's seeing improved numbers. It also pointed to several other diversity efforts, including "Facebook University," an internship program for undergraduate college freshmen from underrepresented groups, and a partnership with Girls Who Code, which aims to teach young women about computer science.
At the top of the company, Facebook is even less diverse. It said only 2% of senior level employees are black, 4% are Hispanic, 19% are Asian and 74% are white.

Hey fellow yidsters can we still say that? Sing what we want sing what we wannnnnnnnt we are tottenham we sing what we want.Any who I've been away from the board for a while merry Xmas to you all yikes I have slipped right down in the prediction league.Just heard the Friedel has signed a new deal glad to keep the Fella aboard safe pair of hands between the sticks shrewd move IMHO by Boas anyone agree?
Agreed BY - I was pleasantly surprised by the signing; Friedel's a good professional, and a realist (his age).Another good win today also (Sunderland away...I've been singing "Jingle Bells" based on our last to games).But instead of Noel for the next game I'll be singing the dirge, No-Bale (another ref's decision going against us...contact in two places on that "dive"...should have been a penalty).
Welcome back BY!I have to agree with you re Bale! He was incredibly un-lucky to be booked for that challenge, sadly he has developed a name for himself, with reason. In the past he has gone down too easily, now he is never given the benefit of the doubt.In Europe, he'd be glorified for it!COYS!

En español | If money didn't matter, there'd be plenty of fabulous places to spend your retirement: a penthouse in Paris. An all-glass modern on the beach in Malibu. Perhaps a small winery in Napa Valley.
See also: How about Costa Rica or France? See the best places for you to retire abroad.
But money does matter. Even as the financial markets limp out of their recessionary funk, many of us are redefining what our "dream" retirement might look like.
Sure, Honolulu has beaches and well-priced pineapples, but few of us can afford its median home price of $550,000. Chicago has world-class dining and lake views galore, though its 9.75 percent sales tax can put those amenities out of reach. Then again, not many of us want to move to a one-stoplight town either, even if it is cheap.
Save Money: Get AARP member discounts on travel, shopping and more
We started our search for the perfect retirement destinations by examining financial data on more than 350 cities across the country. We looked at not only property- and sales-tax rates, median housing price, and cost of living but also the tax rate on pensions and Social Security. Then we added in such criteria as recreation, climate, and arts and culture.
The result: 10 retirement destinations that are affordable and livable.
CORRECTION: The property tax rates for five cities in AARP The Magazine's "Best Places 2011" story were misstated in many copies of the September/October issue. The correct rates are as follows: Gainesville, GA, 0.776%; Portland, ME, 1.435%; Tulsa, OK, 0.877%; Winchester, VA, 0.553%; Wenatchee, WA, 1.052%.

SANTA CLARA -- Wide receiver Anquan Boldin came in motion from the right side, sidled up next to left tackle Joe Staley and joined the 49ers' blocking brigade at a most critical juncture.
Fullback Bruce Miller followed a path carved by Boldin and Staley to gain 3 yards on fourth-and-1, extending an 18-play touchdown drive that sealed the 49ers' 32-20 win Sunday over the Arizona Cardinals.
"I felt him kind of leap across, so I was pretty excited about that," Boldin said Monday of Miller's carry, his first of the season.
Coach Jim Harbaugh proudly reflected on that drive, too, and he gave special recognition to blocks by tight end Vernon Davis and right tackle Anthony Davis that sprung Kendall Hunter's 6-yard touchdown run. With Hunter coming behind Anthony Davis, Vernon Davis helped create an opening with a block on linebacker Karlos Dansby.
"The blocks by Vernon Davis and Anthony Davis were textbook, something to really be admired and highlighted," Harbaugh said.
The 49ers had been unable to produce touchdowns on three earlier trips into the red zone, and Hunter's scoring run snapped that skid. San Francisco has scored touchdowns on 10 of 20 red-zone possessions.
Also encouraging for the 49ers on that drive were three conversions on third-down attempts. They were just 1 of 8 on third-down efficiency before the 18-play drive, which was kept alive with third-down catches by Boldin and Kyle Williams, as well as a third-and-1 run by Frank Gore two snaps before Hunter's touchdown.
"It was big for us," Boldin added. "Our defense had been on the field for quite some time, and we felt they needed a break. We were able to put the game away."
"Those fair catches aren't all on Kyle," Harbaugh said in noting how the 49ers improperly blocked opponents' gunners. "He does a good job of knowing whether to fair catch or return."
Williams' 16 fair catches already are the ninth-most in a season by the 49ers.
The 49ers wideout was taking part in an online chat with the Bay Area News Group and fans when he was asked if he had seen the PBS documentary "League of Denial," which details the NFL's history with concussion studies and protocol.
Boldin said he hadn't seen it yet and gave the league credit for taking game-day diagnoses out of the hands of coaches and potentially concussed players. Then he added:
"But there are some things that just don't make sense to me. I mean if you're so concerned about player safety then why do you have every team in the league playing on Thursday night when they just competed on a Sunday, knowing how difficult it is for guys to get back to being healthy after playing on Sunday?
"The league can say they're doing things to protect guys, but I'm not one of the guys buying it."
Wide receiver Michael Crabtree will remain on the reserve/physically-unable-to-perform list and isn't expected to start practicing until mid-to-late November. He can stay on PUP through Nov. 19 before beginning his 21-day practice period, as is the case with others on reserve/injured lists, a group that includes running back Marcus Lattimore and offensive tackle Luke Marquardt.
"If a cart is coming on to a field, that signifies a pretty serious injury," Harbaugh said. "The best thing to do is silence. Let doctors do their work, and a collective prayer would be much appreciated."
Sunday's game
49ers (4-2) at Tennessee (3-3), 1:05 p.m. FOX

Wireframing | Blueprinting Usable Applications Concepts
By Karen Scipi on Jul 17, 2013
How do users' stories inspire user experience innovation and end up as well-loved, simple productivity features in your favorite mobile or desktop application? The process starts simply . . . with a drawing or sketch.
Building an application that is modern and compelling means framing the task scenario for the worker in context of the application features and then communicating the agreed result. Using a low-fidelity drawing to wireframe the proposed solution is a productive and efficient way explore, validate, and garner agreement on a design before it moves on to the prototyping stage of the build process.
Wireframing is integral to the user experience process of building great Oracle applications
Wireframing as part of the user experience process
A wireframe represents a story of how applications pages are used by real workers to do real work. Wireframing is a low-fidelity drawing on paper or electronic format that starts to close the gap between the intent of the concept and the action of the worker, which eventually comes to life as an application living in the cloud or in your computer room.

Wireframing offers big wins for applications builders. We've learned that wireframing shortens the innovation cycle, exposes problems early, increases productivity of application builders, and eliminates costly surprises late in the build cycle. Customers and partners have learned this, too, when designing and tailoring applications. We use wireframes to apply usability heuristics, and we apply our user experience design patterns to the wireframe before a single line of code is written. Using wireframes, we can iterate quickly and evaluate alternatives in a cost- and time-efficient way. Partners and customers have learned this, too, and more, when designing and tailoring applications.
Which best practices do we apply when wireframing?
- Focus on the intent of a wireframe.
Understand the difference between a wireframe, prototype, and testable application code. Garner buy-in from the right stakeholders, not just end users, but also other interested parties, such as other workers or developers or support people, managers, and decision-makers so that you can void the "but all I wanted was" syndrome after the development is complete. And do remember this is a process. Some things cannot be wireframed.
- Manage your wireframing practice.
Plan and control wireframing by assigning an owner, applying file naming and priority conventions, managing version control, adding arrows and annotations, and so on.
Think about this: The great sketching master Leonardo da Vinci organized his sketches in a codex or library—principles that are well founded to this day.
- Use suitable tools.
Paper and pencil can be used as basic wireframing tools, but they are not scalable and persistent. Software tools, such as Balsamiq Mockups (widely used in Oracle), Microsoft Visio (a favorite of Oracle Fusion Applications internally, also used by the Oracle Application Development Framework team), Microsoft PowerPoint, and mobile options, for smart phones or tablets are better alternatives for building enterprise applications. Considerations for wireframing tools that we've found most useful include ease of use, speed of iteration, portability, ease of collaboration, cost of the software, and ability to avoid lock-in between partners.
- Establish a few process best practices.
Wireframing is about iterating until agreement is reached. Provide alternative drawings for evaluation by stakeholders. Create widgets, templates, and stencils for wireframing in your tool of choice and then reuse them. Matching wireframe flows to the reusable solutions provided by user experience design patterns also cuts design and development time and improves developer productivity.
- Learn from others.
Stay tuned to Misha Vaughn's Voice of User Experience (VoX) blog and your customer and partner channels so that you can learn about workshops that focus on building great-looking usable applications, A Day in the Life of UX wireframing activities, and other upcoming outreach opportunities that explore wireframing as part of the overall user experience process.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum and the Giants weathered a frightful scare at AT&T Park on Friday night when the pitcher was drilled in the leg by a line drive, but X-rays were negative and it's possible Lincecum won't even have to miss his first regular season start.
Lincecum suffered a left knee contusion when he was struck by a Daric Barton liner in the fourth inning of the Bay Bridge Series game against the A's, a 4-1 San Francisco loss.
Barton's shot up the middle caught Lincecum in an awkward position as he was falling off the mound, and after catcher Buster Posey played the carom and threw to first base to get the out, Lincecum limped in extreme pain between the mound and first base, then collapsed to the turf. He had to be helped off the field by team trainers.
But an hour later, Lincecum walked normally to his locker, not even showing a limp, and said he did not believe the injury was serious. He was going to wait, however, to determine whether he would be able to make his first regular-season start Thursday at Arizona.
"We'll see how it feels (Friday)," he said. "The second day is usually when it hurts the most, but right now it feels pretty good."
Lincecum said he never saw the line drive coming but even though it hurt badly after it struck him, he didn't think it was serious because it hit a fleshy area on the inside of the knee. He added he got a "dead leg" sensation after the initial impact, which made the injury look worse than it was.
"I wasn't too worried, because it hit me in a good spot," he said. "It didn't hit me in the front of the kneecap or anything like that. I just wanted to walk it off, but I just needed some time. It was more shocking than anything. I just needed the blood to get back into it and I was fine."
"The ball didn't ricochet left or right, it came straight back to Buster," manager Bruce Bochy said. "I knew it caught him square. For a while there, you are paralyzed after it hits you. When you've taken foul tips as a catcher, you know what that feels like.
"He's a tough kid. He was walking around here once he got in the dugout. That paralysis seemed to go away."
Lincecum wouldn't wager a guess how much soreness or swelling he might have overnight but noted, "Right now, things are looking positive."
The right-hander threw 72 pitches through his four innings and allowed just one run, a third-inning John Jaso home run. He gave up three hits, walked three and struck out four.
Manager Bruce Bochy said he's leaning toward a platoon in the second spot in the batting order, with Belt taking it against right-handed starters and Pence against left-handers.
Belt welcomes the chance to take a crack at it anytime.
"I like it, there are a lot of opportunities to do some damage in that spot, either creating runs or driving them in yourself," he said. "I've hit third for most of my career, so it's just one ahead of it. There's not that big of a difference."
