ON THIS PAGE: You will find information about how many people are diagnosed with this type of cancer each year. You will also learn some general information on surviving the disease. Remember, survival rates depend on several factors. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
This year, an estimated 10,090 adults (5,390 men and 4,700 women) in the United States will be diagnosed with small bowel cancer.
It is estimated that 1,330 deaths (710 men and 620 women) from this disease will occur this year.
As explained in the Overview, there are several types of small bowel cancer, and survival rates are different for each. The 5-year survival rate tells you what percent of people live at least 5 years after the cancer is found. Percent means how many out of 100. The 5-year survival rate for adenocarcinoma depends on the stage and grade. It is 55% for stage I (one), between 35% and 49% for stage II (two), between 18% and 31% for stage III (three), and 5% for stage IV (four), which is cancer that has spread to other areas in the body.
It is important to remember that statistics on how many people survive this type of cancer are an estimate. The estimate comes from data based on thousands of people with this cancer in the United States each year. So, your own risk may be different. Doctors cannot say for sure how long anyone will live with small bowel cancer. Also, experts measure the survival statistics every 5 years. This means that the estimate may not show the results of better diagnosis or treatment available for less than 5 years. Learn more about understanding statistics.
Statistics adapted from the American Cancer Society's (ACS) publication, Cancer Facts & Figures 2016, and the ACS website.
The next section in this guide is Risk Factors. It explains what factors may increase the chance of developing this disease. Or, use the menu on the side of your screen to choose another section to continue reading this guide.

I'm really not stupid (at least I don't think so), just confused or I have the wrong numbers.2,809,170 from the May proxy issued & outstandingEmmis already purchased/controls since then (1,035,925 on 11/22 + 645,504 on 11/15) =1,681,429 (although on the proxy they say they control 1,484,679 so i don't know where that number comes from)so 2,809,170-1,681,429 = 1,127,741 left they don't have say with.1,127,741-766,803(in lockup)=360,938So IF emmis really needs 385,604 they can't get it.Where i'm CONFUSED is which number the 66 2/3 is based on. IF it's the original 2.5 mil +375k overallotment which would be the max number 2,875,000*.667=1,917,625 which it seems like they already would have with only 236,196 shares.
Not sure why people are not understanding this. Well, I guess if you look at they pps, many people are understanding this.
seriously? the voting stock is all that matters, he could care less about the common to get control.
What options does the captain of a sinking ship have?
Smulyan owns a lot of common shares. I don't see him burning himself.
What am i missing that between August and now from the 10Q "ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING 2,809,170 SHARES AT FEBRUARY 28, 2011 AND AUGUST 31, 2011"That there's now 2,612,420 per the offer? Did they retire 196,750 somewhere that i missed?
nice, even nasdaq doesn't have the correct information. http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/emmsp/institutional-holdings
Emmis retired some preferreds - so the "votable" share count is 2.605MM (down from the original 2.8MM)Of this number, Emmis controls the vote for 58.5% or 1.524MM shares (through total return swap agreements)Corre Opportunities fund controls 159,090 and Zazove controls 475,753.So, the "Zazove group" controls 634,843 and they need 33% or 868,333.So Zazove is short by 233,490Emmis has 58.5% and need 67% - so they are short by 221,000Preferreds controlled by neither group is 2.605-0.635-1.524 or 446,000So, according to my calculations, neither group has the number they need. Both groups have a good chance of getting to be where they want to be. But Emmis is constrained by debt covenants and SEC rules on insider trading. Therefore, it is highly likely that the Zazove group will "win" in the fight for control of the preferreds.In any case, Smulyan has improved the balance sheet by about $60MM or more by retiring $96MM worth of debt for $35MM.Win-win for both EMMS and remaining EMMSP holders.Yes?

Best staff photos of the week
This is a quick video of my favorite staff photos from Oct. 18-25.
This is a quick video of my favorite staff photos from Oct. 18-25.
Throughout the Dallas Cowboys season we have been featuring some of the cars from CowboysLife Car Club in Dallas. These guys devote an inordinate amount of time building and preening these trophies for the glorification of their team.
How much has the corner of Houston Street and Wood Street in downtown Dallas changed from 1956 (left) to 2015?
Move the slider bar above to the left and right to find out.
I was asked to shoot an almost-exact-match of a 1956 photo taken by Cecil E. Burdick Jr., a long-ago Longview resident now living in Houston.
The few things I had going for me while reshooting it were the time of day and the fact that clouds were in the sky.
I took a copy photo with me and lined it up as I shot, specifically lining up the top corner of the building and the fountain.
The shadows from the trees and the patio since added to The Dallas Morning News building threw me off a bit.
The fact that the trees were backlit made it easier for me to make the decision to expose for the midtones so I could desaturate the color to match the feeling of the original.
See the original photos here:
On a few occasions I have been lucky enough to photograph a full ballet performance. The first time I was the only person in Bass Hall to see the entire production of Edith Piaf, I had no idea that ballet could be so beautiful. Dracula, put on by the Texas Ballet Theatre was no exception. Initially I produced a video of the stage set-up, but in this video I wanted the dancing to translate more of the way I saw it.
Upon receiving the news that I would be covering the EXXXOTICA Expo at the Dallas Convention Center I had so many questions. I was worried about how I could film this and still abide by newspaper standards. Even though this is posted on the internet where technically we can post almost anything we still have standards and an audience to hold true to.
I drew the line at nudity on my approach, which sounds pretty easy until I walked into the room. To my surprise I did not have any permission problems, which has been a growing issue in the last few years. Almost every fan I approached felt very free to talk about the lifestyle. The problem I did have was my backgrounds were inundated with suggestive imagery that bordered on the risqué. I tried my best to move into positions that hide everything as well as use a very low depth of field to give a good blur to the background. I shot about twice the footage I would usually shoot, which is usually quite long to begin with.
With the intrepid reporter Robert Wilonsky asking questions, the shape of the story was quickly constructed into an understanding of how this community works and their feelings of persecution. The quotes carried the piece very nicely. After sending in a final draft my editor noticed an entire shot dedicated to a bevy of topless women who were technically wearing pasties… technically. All in all I was happy about how the story turned out. It made for an interesting day.
When I first received this assignment I didn't want to have anything to do with it. I have a fairly weak stomach and frankly, taking photos in the dark is hard. As we were lowered 65 feet the cage started to spin around, much faster than you would expect.
The tunnel was new, so most of my fears had been extinguished already, but it was pitch black, and I didn't want to use a flash so I can show what can be seen with your eyes. I used very slow shutter speeds so the light had time to move around the tunnel as the workers heads moved around, and defining the shape and proportions of the tunnel. Trudging through the mud was the scary part, I had two cameras hanging off of my shoulders and the curved fiberglass shell didn't have many footholds.
After slipping and sliding for about 45 minutes I was relieved to be out in the open but the methane smell of the pump station almost knocked me back down. As you can see in some of the images, the pump station is pretty disgusting but it is really a treat to be able to see how it all works.
Everyone knows the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge opened in 2012. Now it has a Mini-Me (a Mini-Marge, if you will), done up in Christmas lights by a creative resident of North Oak Cliff. Continue reading
On Friday morning I got the urgent call from our assignment desk. Big Tex was on fire, I headed to the fair with my cameras immediately. I just missed the flames but the insurance blimp and the birds cooperated for this shot.
You can click here to see a slideshow of all our Photos of the Day from the State Fair of Texas.
Jay and Brennda Gilmore have been showing llamas for 15 years. This video not only shows the backbreaking work it takes for these two to compete, it also shows how a relationship can thrive with a common goal. By the way, according to Brennda, llamas don't spit at people, that is, unless you get between a pair engaged in a "discussion."
Portrait assignments tend to be quite difficult for me. Unlike news assignments, portraits are set-up, therefore you have the freedom to do anything. Like news assignments, portraits should include as many details in the story as possible.
Latricia Jackson, mother of Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson, used to rent a home that was demolished for the construction of Cowboys Stadium. When I arrived at her house she was being photographed by a friend of mine for the Star-Telegram inside of her new house that's close to the stadium. I was going to do some safety shots at her house but did not want the same vibe as the other photographer, so I just asked Latricia if she liked the idea. She laughed and agreed so I loaded as much furniture into my Jeep as I could.
Thanks to the perfect timing of the assignment it didn't take long for us to find some good light with Cowboys Stadium in the background. It took about 2 minutes to set up the furniture and about 5 to shoot off 100 frames. I think the photo included all of the story elements including humor.
you can find the story here
I arrived a little early to the press conference at Stephen Broden's U.S. congressional campaign headquarters this morning. He was criticizing his opponent Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson's handling of scholarships offered by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.
I am embarrassed to admit that I didn't make the revelation until television news journalist took a few steps into the room and exclaimed the Texas state flag used as the backdrop for the press conference was upside down. I had a chance to shoot a few frames before they sorted everything out, so here are the before and after photos.

Photos: Orlando Cruz Gets Big Support in Kissimmee Win
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — These last two weeks have weighed heavily on Orlando Cruz.
But as soon as he walked out to a cheering crowd displaying flags of his native Puerto Rico, boxing's first openly gay fighter could finally breathe and do what he came to do, slugging his way to a victory by unanimous decision over Jorge Pazos.
"That was my moment, my opportunity, my event," Cruz said Friday night after the bout, his mother Dominga Torres-Rivera seated beside him. "And I won."
Cruz was touched by the support on display at the Kissimmee Civic Center outside of Orlando, the latest in a continual outpouring since his announcement two weeks ago that made him the first active male athlete in a major sport to come out.
"I was very happy that they respect me. That's what I want — them to see me as a boxer, as an athlete and as a man in every sense of the word."
Cruz's declaration has garnered plenty of attention and interview requests for the WBO's fourth-ranked featherweight, as well as public support from everyone from former Olympic teammate Miguel Cotto to singer Ricky Martin.
"With all that's been going through my life the last two weeks, I have no excuses," Cruz said. "It did affect me, going here, going there. It did affect me."
But Cruz (19-2-1, nine KOs) looked comfortable once he stepped into the ring, quickly negating Pazos' longer reach with his own fleet feet. As a result, Pazos (20-4, 13 KOs) spent most of the night lunging after the smiling Cruz. Pazos threw more punches, but Cruz made his count.
Though the Mexican Pazos held his own for much of the fight, it was Cruz standing on the ropes playing to the adoring crowd moments later with a 118-110, 116-111, 118-110 decision.
"He's a boxer who moves too much, he knows how to box and he has good legs," Pazos said. "I couldn't get him."
Cruz is hoping this victory will get him a shot at a bigger match in the near future.
"This fight's going to open my door for a world title fight," Cruz said. "That's my dream, my mom's dream, my community's dream and my team's."
And Cruz seems to be more at ease with his new position as a gay role model, no longer hiding who he is in one of the world's most macho sports.

Can you please give me some advice? I'm looking to create a small website/blog as I wish to start doing some history tuition and I don't know whether this would be suitable. I only know of wordpress as we used it for our school website and found it easy to update etc.
Any advice would be welcome, I'm a novice when it comes to websites/blogs etc!
(what exactly is a blog and how is different to a website?)
Many thanks in advance!

Gamboa-Marquez May Land in September, Says Arum
By Lem Satterfield
Top Rank Promotions CEO, Bob Arum, confirmed an earlier BoxingScene.com report that he is considering a fall bout between WBA and IBF featherweight king, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and ex-world champion, Rafael Marquez, along with a fall rematch featuring newly crowned WBO counter part, Orlando Salido, and the man he dethroned, Juan Manuel Lopez.
Arum had been hopeful of a lucrative clash between Gamboa (20-0, 16 knockouts) and the previously unbeaten Lopez (30-1, 27 KOs), that is, until Lopez was stopped in the eighth round on April 16 by Salido (35-11-2, 25 KOs), this, on the heels of Salido's September, unanimous loss to Gamboa.
Lopez was coming off of November's eighth round knockout victory over Marquez (39-6, 35 KOs), a former bantamweight and super bantamweight titlist.
Last month, Gamboa took only four rounds to blast into submission, Jorge Solis (40-3-2, 29 KOs), scoring five knockdowns in the process.
"I think that we're trying to make a Gamboa-Marquez fight, probably in September. They're two good fighters and that would make an interesting fight," said Arum, adding that a Salido-Lopez rematch would take place "probably for the same time period."
Co-promoted by Top Rank's Mexican partner Zanfer Promotions, Marquez could fight on the June 4, card featuring a WBC middleweight title clash between Sebastian Zbik (30-0, 10 KOs) and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KOs).

The answer to New York Girl!
AUTHOR: Dana Sherron - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 03, 2012POSTED: Monday, December 03, 2012
I went out to their house and then took my sales rep out there to see their issues. My sales rep ordered an independent rep to come look at the floor. After his report he found a couple of installation issues and gave me the instructions of how to repair. They refused...all they wanted was money..They got a refund from the supplier and i agreed to give them 500 refund on 50% of the acutal install.
When they did have the check fast enough they started slandering me and using my dwi picture on facebook, and so on and also misused and making it look like I was arrested for scamming people. I have never done such thing. I also contacted the police department who said the conversation she describes is a lie and that it is recorded. I have also done flooring for the officer in Wake Forest and he told me he loved all three floors I had installed for him over the years.
My attorney has 500 for this couple as soon as they stop sending out slander and misleading photo information about me.
Again we are life long residents of the Wake Forest area and have been a family business operating by me my mother and father over the last 15 years. Come see me and mention New York Girl :( and i will give you a free estimate and some reliable references from local attorneys, doctors, realtors, and business people in the area that I have done work for over the last few years.

FCC's Broadband Plan Turns Five
FCC's Broadband Plan Turns Five
Blow out the candles, already! The recent auction of Advanced Wireless Spectrum raised $41 Big Ones (that's $41E9) for the US Treasury. Now, spectrum is a little like real estate and as Will Rogers once said: "I had been putting what little money I had in Ocean Frontage [because] they wasn't making any more..." If there were spectrum futures, I'd recommend placing a buy. AT&T, apparently, thinks the same way, having dropped nearly one-half of the record bids.
Part of this haymaking for the Feds is the result of the FCC's "National Broadband Plan" or "The Ominbus Broadband Initiative." In 2010 the FCC released a plan to increase the availability of spectrum for broadband deployment in the United States. Some of the initiatives have had an immediate impact. Others have languished or have been overtaken by events. What has happened since is that the Commission has made hundreds of MHz of spectrum available for all kinds of mobile, IoT and M2M uses. This has caused some difficulties for incumbent users and created opportunities for innovators.
This article will provide an update of how the plan is being implemented.

The binding of choice for burly freeriders.
The last thing you want to worry about is walking out of a ski when you're center-punching a rowdy line, which is why freeriders the world over drill the Look Pivot 18 Binding into their boards. With a rugged metal housing, DIN that goes to 18, and timeless Pivot turntable heel piece, the Pivot provides unmatched retention, with a ton of travel to keep you from ejecting until you absolutely have to.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
There's a reason people hoard these bindings and dig through ski swaps and thrift stores to find them. aside from added the option for a bigger brake, these bindings have been bulletproof and reliable since day 1. the narrow mounting pattern allows your ski to flex more freely, and they're also super low profile which allows for more control/keeps you closer to your ski. I've ridden it for years and not once have I ever encountered a prerelease problem, and they're solid steel so breaking them is damn near impossible. For the lighter guys, a 14 DIN version is also available.
Greatest Binding for Expert Skiers
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Look Pivot 18 is a premium, expensive alpine binding that I will mount on every single pair of skis that I own. As an aggressive, expert alpine skier, this is my binding of choice.
If you ski fast, aggressively, do aerials or slash pillow on pow days, this is the binding for you. There are others here who will talk up the bindings construction, or why it works, but I won't do that––all I will say is that it works as it should, when it should.
Say no more to plastic, faulty, pre-releasing bindings that result in injury––you'll only come out of a ski when you need to.
This would be a five star binding, except for one design flaw––there's no proper place to use your pole to release this binding at the end of the day, meaning you'll mar the back part of the binding with scratches from ski poles or the heel of your boots.
Otherwise, this is the binding of choice for the elite skier.
Best binding on the market!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Mounted up a pair of Magic Js with the pivot 18s. The flex under the toe and heel is extremely precise enabling superior feel and control of the entire ski. The metal housing is burly enough to take a major beating. Best freeride binding on the market. It keeps you attached to your skis when you want to be, but releases your safely when necessary. Highly recommend this binding for experts who require the best.
Best alpine binding on the market
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Change is scary for me, so when Rossi took these off the market a few years back, I freaked. Due to the collective panic among freeskiers, they brought em back, and they're as bomb-proof as ever. Sure they're heavy, but I'd rather have a binding that lasts forever than a piece of plastic junk that could fail unexpectedly. Bang them up all you want, it won't alter their performance. Think of it as an investment. You can keep swapping these out, long after you've destroyed they skis you mount them on.
I mount these on all my skis, besides my touring setup. I'm anxiously awaiting the day when Look/Rossi designs a touring capable binding with a pivot heel...Are you listening Rossi?! They won't release unless you absolutely need to, no matter what you set your din. Get them and put them on everything.
Ride em hard, they like it.
Never worry about a twisted knee again
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been skiing this binding and the Rossignol FKS model for the last 8 years. From my experience this binding will always release when you need it to, and will never release when you don't want it to. No one likes pre-releasing when charging through variable conditions at high speeds. This binding will ensure you stay connected to your boards unless you absolutely need to come out. When it does release it releases instantly and never hesitates.
What drew me to this binding was how solid the construction was. After skiing several other bindings on the market, and destroying all of them within a season or two of riding, I decided to give these a go. With the full metal construction these bindings are bomber. That's right, huck all you want, gaps, large drops, park jumps, and anything else you fancy and this binding will take the abuse and ask for more. I have one pair that is well past the normal life span of a binding and it still works exceptionally well.
The main drawback to this binding in the 18 din is the weight. However compared to other all metal bindings on the market this is as light or lighter weight than the comparable competition.
Keep in mind that the 18 din toe is all metal and only releases on each side. The 14 and new 12 din bindings have a plastic toe making them lighter and allowing for a vertical release option as well.
Another thing I love about these bindings is how low to the ski they allow your boot to sit. I find this helps with balance and makes the skis feel as though they are connected directly to the soles of your boots.
Can someone verify that the metal toe does not release vertically? I'm not sure this is correct although I could be wrong.
The Look Pivot and Rossi FKS 18 din bindings have a side to side release where the toe can pivot a full 180 degrees. This allows you to twist out of the binding. The Pivot 14 and 12 have the split toe design which actually allows the toe piece to release vertically. I found a video from a Rossignol rep who explains this as he is introducing the Pivot at the 2011 FIS show. You can see how he explains this.
Save the knees
The 360 degree pivoting heel piece allows them to very smoothly release when you need them to and hold you in when you need to be held in.
I usually ride these in the park at a DIN of 13. If I land straight and want to be held in I will be held in.
I threw that 7 a little wrong and came up a little bit short. My right ski tip actually hit the knuckle of the landing. Instead of twisting my knee all weird, it release so smoothly that I still landed it with one ski on.
If that can't convince someone, I don't know what will!
Bravo Alex - glad you're knee is still fighting fit!
You don't need a 720 degree pivoting heel piece for moves like that?

LIMA, 5 December 2013 – Manufacturing, with more than half a billion jobs globally, is crucial for employment generation, and for inclusive and sustainable industrial development, according to the latest Industrial Development Report of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), presented in Lima today.
UNIDO's flagship publication was launched during the Organization's fifteenth session General Conference hosted this year by the Government of Peru, which brought together some 1,000 participants from 172 UNIDO Member States.
UNIDO's Industrial Development Report 2013 makes a solid case by correctly framing the debate on jobs in the world today. Manufacturing remains an important employer, accounting for around 470 million jobs worldwide in 2009 – or around 16 percent of the world's workforce of 2.9 billion. The report also offers a detailed and largely path-breaking account of how structural change has taken place over the last 40 years.
"One of the key findings of this report is that countries need to move from lower tech to higher tech sectors, from lower value-added to higher value-added sectors and from lower productivity to higher productivity sectors," said LI Yong, the Director General of UNIDO.
"The structural change analysis performed for this report indicates that while conditions may vary significantly across time and space and technological change may still bring large surprises, the trends of the past are very likely to stretch into the future. There is much to learn from understanding history and what drove it. And there is much to learn by developing countries from countries slightly ahead of them – and far."
The report also highlights how, nearly 40 years after Member States of UNIDO issued the Lima Declaration at the Second General Conference of the Organization in 1975, in which they expressed their firm conviction of industry's role as a dynamic instrument of growth essential to the rapid economic and social development of the developing countries, particularly the least developed countries, the underlying principles have stood the test of time: industrialization remains an indispensable route to development. "Industry increases productivity and generates income, reducing poverty and providing opportunities for social inclusion. As countries further develop their industries, the motivation to increase value added drives a greater application of science, technology and innovation, encourages more investment in skills and education and provides the resources to meet broader development outcomes," said Li.
As the global community embarks on formulating a new development agenda to build on the foundation laid by the Millennium Development Goals, the report underscores the need for integrating inclusive and sustainable industrial development into this new agenda. This calls for an expansion of productive capacities and a growth of responsible value addition to encourage increased job creation and income generation, while respecting planetary boundaries and ensuring an efficient use of scarce resources. It is only through inclusive and sustainable industrial development that countries around the world, be they industrialized or developing, will be able to achieve the socially equitable and ecologically sustainable economic growth that generates employment and income, and creates the wealth to achieve wider developmental goals for health, education and human rights.
Since the eruption of the financial crisis in 2008, much of the public debate has focused, after decades of silence, on development economics: how to sustain growth, create lasting jobs, generate incomes and enable the accumulation of wealth, thus eradicating the scourge of poverty and preventing social polarization and fragmentation. The rising number of unemployed people in industrialized economies, the political unrest in Northern Africa, the increasingly vocal demands from voters in emerging economies and the discussion towards a new international agenda for development, all point in the same direction –at the central role that productive activities and jobs have in the life of individuals and countries.
For developing countries aiming to maintain growth while sustaining job creation, manufacturing offers an opportunity not only to rebalance the economy towards higher value-added sectors but also to provide a relatively wide employment base with higher labour productivity. The transition from agriculture to services, especially for low-income countries, offers the opportunity to achieve only the first objective, not the second.
Structural transformation of the economy lies at the heart of this process, together with conscious and considered measures to encourage economic growth, enhanced productivity and the development of technology, innovation, infrastructure and trade. The report provides ample guidance on how to initiate and sustain such a process – by exploring the key drivers of structural change and providing practical policy options for governments of countries at different levels of development.
"The report underlines the critical need for international cooperation to achieve the structural change and economic growth required to combat poverty, and reaffirm the commitment of UNIDO to fulfil its mandate in support of this effort," said Director General Li.

I've just installed Role Editor. I wanted to make just one change: I wanted to allow authors to create pages and edit their own pages. I checked the Edit Pages option for the Author role. The result is that an author can now see the "Pages" link on the dashboard, and clicking that link displays a list of pages that author owns. But the Edit option for those pages does not appear - the View option is the only one they get.
I tried also checking the "Edit Others Pages" capability. What happens then is that the author can see ALL the pages from the dashboard, but still can't edit any of them.

SCIENTIST AT WORK: LENE VESTERGAARD HAU; She Puts the Brakes on Light
By MALCOLM W. BROWNE
Published: March 30, 1999
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.— Her hair is boyishly cropped, her clothes are casual, and while riding her bike around Cape Cod she could pass as a college freshman.
But Dr. Lene Vestergaard Hau is no freshman. A teacher at Harvard University and an accomplished experimenter, she has gained a formidable reputation in a branch of science traditionally dominated by men: physics.
Most of all, she is known as the scientist who slowed light down to a walk.
Dr. Lene (pronounced LEE-nuh) Hau, at 39, is rapidly reaching the top of her profession, her colleagues agree. On Feb. 18 the prestigious scientific journal Nature selected for its cover article a paper of which she was the leading author, and it caused a mild sensation.
In their paper, Dr. Hau, with Dr. Steve E. Harris of Stanford University and two of Dr. Hau's Harvard students, reported the results of their experiment in which a beam of laser light was slowed to the astonishingly low speed of 38 miles an hour. (By comparison, light in a vacuum travels about 186,000 miles per second.)
Dr. Hau's laboratory at the Rowland Institute for Science in Cambridge (where she conducts research with the help of her graduate and post-doctoral students from Harvard) ) is one of a handful of organizations studying the interactions of lasers with a very peculiar kind of matter called a Bose-Einstein condensate.
It was by shining precisely tuned lasers on such a condensate, or cloud, of ultra-cold sodium atoms that Dr. Hau and her team reduced the speed of a light beam to a pace slower than her bicycle.
The achievement, noted by many newspapers, magazines and broadcasters, was a tour de force of pure physics, and it may also herald great practical applications.
Among them could be the development of optical switches that could enormously improve the performance of computers.
Dr. Hau presides over a half million dollars' worth of apparatus at the Rowland Institute, a research organization founded by the late Edwin H. Land, the inventor of Polaroid instant photography, to support innovative research. Unmarried, Dr. Hau lives near the laboratory and spends most of her time either at the laboratory or pondering the problems her next experiment will present.
''I find that the shower is a very good place to think things out,'' she said, ''but sometimes I forget what I'm doing. Once I even stepped into the shower with my clothes on.''
Although increasing numbers of women have entered the sciences in recent years, their participation in physics remains very limited. Of several hundred scientists attending a typical physics meeting, only a half dozen or so are likely to be women. Dr. Hau is often asked how she came to be one of them.
''For one thing,'' she said, ''I was lucky to be a Dane. Denmark has a long scientific tradition that included the great Niels Bohr, one of the founders of quantum theory.
In Denmark, physics is widely respected by laymen as well as scientists, and laymen contribute to physics. For instance, research in quantum mechanics has been supported in Denmark by the makers of Carlsberg beer since the 1920's. I myself was supported as a graduate student for one year by a Carlsberg scholarship.''
Dr. Hau was born in Vejle, a small town not far from the University of Aarhus, on the east coast of Jutland.
''Neither of my parents had any background in science,'' she said. ''My father was in the heating business and my mother worked in a store. But both of them believed in giving me the same advantages as my brother, which was very important to my education.''
A prodigy who skipped 10th grade, she was immediately accepted at a ''gymnasium,'' a European upper school roughly equivalent to the first two years of college in the United States.
From childhood Dr. Hau was fascinated by mathematics, especially geometry. ''All my life I have needed to visualize things, even abstractions. Without a visualization in my head I'm lost, and geometry is very visual.''
This approach to physics works, she said, even for visualizing mathematical abstractions like Hilbert spaces (named for David Hilbert, a German mathematician), which combine a variety of physical states (or ''wave functions'') into a single mathematical entity.
''When I first entered Arhus University,'' Dr. Hau recalled, ''I was bored by physics. They just taught us thermodynamics and classical mechanics, and that bored me. But I loved mathematics. I would rather do mathematics than go to the movies in those days.
''But after a while I discovered quantum mechanics, and that got me interested in physics again, and I've been hooked ever since.''
Quantum mechanics is a system of probabalistic rules governing the discontinuous jumps in behavior of very small particles of matter and energy. Transistors and many other electronic devices work according to these rules.
Dr. Hau was awarded her Ph.D. from the University of Arhus in 1991 after completing a dissertation on the ''channeling'' of electrons along strings of atoms in a silicon crystal, as if the atomic strings were miniature wave guides, like the optical fibers used to guide light.

Out of curiosity, I checked all my (manually marked as Spam) declined comments and the MaxMind GeoIP Demo page claims the majority of IPs to be from China.
I've set the BLACKLIST ISO CODES to 'CN' and the white list is empty.
If I recall correctly, I haven't had a 'Country Check' hit in a few months now, though CN has always been on the list.
What might be the reason for those IPs not getting detected as coming from China?
Thanks in advance,

American Education in the Age of Mass Migrations 1870-1930
This paper derives original series of average years of schooling in the United States 1870-1930, which take into account the impact of mass migrations on the US educational level. We reconstruct the foreign-born US population by age and by country of origin, while combining data on the flow of migrants by country and the age pyramids of migrants by country. Then we use original data on educational attainment in the nineteenth century presented in Morrisson and Murtin (2008) in order to estimate the educational level of US immigrants by age and by country. As a result, our series are consistent with the first national estimates of average schooling in 1940. We show that mass migrations have had a significant but modest impact on the US average educational attainment. However, the educational gap between US natives and immigrants was large and increased with the second immigration wave, a phenomenon that most likely fostered the implementation of restrictive immigration rules in the 1920s.

Concussions, Condition, & medication?
I was a professional athlete for 9 years.
I suffered 4 grade three concussions my last year. I was actually blinded temporarily my last one. This was in 2001.
Over a year and half ago I felt it necessary to seek help for a condition that I was having.
My Dr. recommended brain scans, Pet Scan, Eeg, etc...
Subsequently, I have some brain scarring.
The condition I developed was a very mild bi-polar I. This is the lowest level, and never affected work performance or really anything else. At times I would feel not my positive self, and other times a little keyed up.
I am on medication for it but its not anti depressants... but anti-convulscants
I have my first test the 31st, and second on the 15th and third early June, with different respective depts.
I have been unable to ascertain if I am kidding myself even testing due to this. Some friends in the NFL have had similiar conditions.
Will this immediately prevent me from getting in...
I appreciate any input.
The biggest question is, will your condition effect your ability to work as a police officer? Don't think normal employment...remember that LE can be a high-stress, high-emotion, physically-violent job. Be honest with yourself about it.
I also think you should discuss with your doctor whether or not your condition will be adversely effected by the stressors of the job. You should probably also discuss the possibility of an on the job injury (say, being assaulted) making your condition worse. I don't think that the minor bipolar disorder will disqualify you if it's controlled, but there are alot of other medical questions I'd want to have answered before I get into the job if I were in your shoes."He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

So far, our coaching staff has outcoached nearly every other opponent. I think, with Dallas, we'd beat them now that the team has finally had their time together, and had time to install their playbook, and gotten some confidence.
But as for Harbaugh... definitely, that's the Coach of the Year.
I wonder though if it's just a case of teams being unfamiliar with our team's tendencies. I mean... I'm sure the Bucs had NO idea on defense that they were going to line up and see 5 offensive linemen, Vernon Davis, Delanie Walker, Bruce Miller, Isaac Sopoaga, and an extra offensive lineman in Chilo Rachal or Alex Boone. There's some ideas and concepts the 49ers are using that the league has probably never seen before. We're probably going to have that element of surprise for a few more weeks because this is only the first game we've come out passing. Cat's starting to come out of the bag.
But by the end of the season, teams will have figured out our tendencies, and the REAL test to see Harbaugh's coaching prowess will come. I think he'll rise to the occasion too.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A 62-year-old man's quick thinking may have saved his neighbor's house from going up in flames.
Just before 4pm on Wednesday, Grand Junction Firefighters responded to 2230 Kingston Road on the Redlands for a report of a deck fire.
They say they found the flames mostly out and Don Matti holding a hose.
Matti says he didn't think twice or even put his shoes on before he ran to help his neighbors.
"I just heard some cracking and looked over and the deck and the house were on fire so I hooked up my hose and did the best I could until the fire department got here. That's just what good neighbors do."
Firefighters say one person was home at the time but no one was injured.
They estimate the damage at $5,000.
The cause is still under investigation.

Sept. 20 — To the Editor:
First I say I do and then I don't
Then I say I will and then I won't
I leave everything in the air
That's what I call Romney care.
First I do a flip and then I flop
I try to go ahead and then I stop
I put all my assets over there
That's what I call Romney care.
I take from the poor to give to the rich
I vacillate back and forth without a hitch
I don't believe in paying my fair share
That's what I call Romney care.
I shipped many jobs overseas
And stripped many companies bone bare
Forcing many Americans onto welfare
That's what I call Romney care.
I'll say anything that you want to hear
Because to take a position is my greatest fear
If it's pro or con I simply agree
Because it's not about you, it's all about me.
So vote for me, if you dare
Because of one thing that I'm sure
myself and Ryan will take away your Medicare
That's what I call Romney care.

I've been using includes in a couple of different files (such as index.php in one of my theme directories) and it has worked fine as long as the file I'm trying to include is in the same directory as the file WITH the include.
In other words, I have this in my index.php file:
if(date('j') == '1') {
This works fine, assuming 1.php is in the same directory as index.php. What I need is to be able to do the same thing with 1.php residing in a subdirectory, such as:
if(date('j') == '1') {
But that never seems to work. It renders the whole page fine (since it's just an include) but nothing shows up where the stuff from 1.php should be.
Anybody know the secret to this?

Jepsen to get more work in Triple-A
In a procedural move, the Angels activated right--hander Kevin Jepsen from the disabled list today and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Jepsen, 24, has recovered from the lower back problems that landed him on the DL -- but he hasn't solved the command issues that have plagued him this season. In two rehab appearances with Salt Lake, he has allowed six hits and walked two while retiring just four batters.
"He definitely needs a little work," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He needs to get into his mechanics, get a good load (in his delivery). Where his back was a couple weeks ago might have pushed him into some bad habits in his delivery.
"He'll be back (in the majors). He has a terrific arm. But he definitely needs to clean some things up."
Darren Oliver is back in the Angels' bullpen tonight, activated from the DL. Fernando Rodriguez was returned to Salt Lake after Sunday's game in New York to make room for Oliver on the active roster.

Meadville City Manager Chriest to retire in July
MEADVILLE -- Meadville City Manager Joe Chriest will call it a career on July 4.
After 22 years on the job, Chriest, 60, formally announced his retirement during a Meadville City Council study session Wednesday. Chriest also serves as city engineer, public works director and personnel director.
"We're at a good point for this now," Chriest said of his retirement. "When I look where we are as a city, we're clawing, but our heads are above water. And Meadville seems to be ahead of other cities of its size. So it feels like I'm not abandoning ship."
Council was asked to consider a succession plan that would name Assistant City Manager Andy Walker as interim city manager as of July 5. Walker would serve in the position through 2014, Meadville Mayor John Christopher Soff said.
It's not been decided that Walker will permanently replace Chriest, but it's probable that he will, Soff said.
"He's done such a great job and proven himself to council and to staff that we don't feel a need to go out and do any local or nationwide search. We feel we have the right person for the job right here," Soff said.
Walker, 35, was hired as assistant city manager in February 2012.
Still, he will have big shoes to fill, Soff said. Chriest performed "admirably" in a difficult job, the mayor said.
"The city manager has to juggle 30 different things at once and effectively answer to five bosses, who in turn have to answer to 13,000-plus other bosses, and that's not an easy job. But Joe's handled it admirably well in good economic times and in challenging economic times, and continued to move us forward," Soff said. "And that's no easy task."
Council has made no decision, Soff said, about whether or when a new assistant city manager will be hired.
Chriest is a North East native who began his professional career working for the North East Borough sewer department. He also worked as an engineer with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

I have an 8 yo DD. I have been divorced for 6 years and remarried with current DH for 2 years with 3 older step children(from his previous marriage) ages 9,13,15. I have custody and ExH has standard visitation (EOW). DD has her fathers last name and we all have DH's last name. She confessed to me that she wants to present herself with my husbands last name instead of her father's. I see no harm in this, thoughts?
Daughter wants another last name
You said you don't care about your Exs feelings. Well do you care about your dd's, because he is her father and you have to consider what might happen to her life if you do this!
My dss has a stepsister his same age. Different last names and guess what? They have been able to deal with it and as parents we act like its not a big deal. If you make it a big deal then it will be. How is she going to feel when her DADs feelings are hurt?
no longer a dietcoke addict, too lazy to change my name!
I would say No to this one.
1st Epi/Hospital 8 lbs 11 oz, 2nd Natural @ Birthing Center 10 lbs 0 oz, 3rd born @ home! 9 lbs 0 oz. 4th Natural @ Birthing Center 8 lbs 12 oz 7-8-11
My exh is a total asshat and the kids only see him EOW. I would never allow them to change their last name. That just isn't right
Edit to fix typo.... Fuck it auto correct hates me!
Follow me to the nicest place on babycenter ----> BHB
Racism is dirty business!
As a stepmom, I have to advise you not to let her do this. My DH would be crushed if his DD decided to stop using his last name.
"You know DH, I've been thinking about DD's problem about feeling left out of the family because she's the only one with a different last name. So instead of changing her last name, I was thinking we should change DSD's last name to DD's last name. No big deal right?"

SAHM to three fun boys: P (10), E (7) and B (5) and China bound for our girlie M (3) in summer 2016
Op i had a different situation with my mom and stepdad... She came to me and told me that my step dad wanted to adopt me and give me his last name. At that pooint my mom was pregnant with my little sister and my step brother and mother and step father they all had the same last name.
I turned around and told her " no, my dad isnt around, but he is my father. His last name is a part of me, he will always be my dad no matter what happens. I want his last name im half you and half him". My mother was married to my step dad for 7 years. I would encourage your child to embrace her last name, she is apart of you and your ex. The good and the bad mixed to make one of the best children. By letting her change her name you letting her think that she NEEDS to change something about herself to "fit in"
I vote no. In a couple years, she will understand being different is ok. And I would never allow it if I was the father.
I'm a Gemini so I have a sweet side and a not so sweet side. I'm also half Yankee, half Rebel and half Italian. Which side will you get today?
OP you do realize this could be considered parental alienation and the courts are REALLY cracking down on that now days! If the judge feels you are alienating your DD from her involved father it could mean penalties, extra visitation and in some cases even change in physical custody!
