What an incredible lucid dream, naiad! I know you will use this wisely and well :)
You are far more powerful than you know...

After plenty of speculation, Ford has shown the special concept it will debut at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. Named the Evos Concept, Ford has released images and details on this fastback coupe.
At this stage the Evos Concept is a design study but shows the aesthetic influences that Ford will take into its next-generation of products. Expect to see Ford's headlights go smaller and more discreet, the grille become more vertical and body shapes to be even more raked back and sleek. The concept uses four gull wing doors to get access to the four-seat cabin.
"We wanted the Ford Evos Concept to give a clear message about where Ford design is heading – shaping vehicles that are fun to drive, have a strong premium visual appeal, and above all, are stunningly beautiful," said J Mays, group vice president, Design and chief creative officer.
Inside, the concept there are hints at Ford's upcoming interior design with a driver-oriented instrument panel and an inverted 'L' climate system. It's more of a cockpit feel than previous Ford vehicles with touch-screen displays and individually adjustable sports seats. Continue reading "Ford Evos Concept heralds future design language" »

President Barack Obama called on Russia to partner with the United States in its effort to reduce the world's nuclear stockpiles.
During a speech in Germany Wednesday he said the two nations should embrace the spirit that Berlin displayed when it fought to reunite during the Cold War.
"We may no longer live in fear of global annihilation, but so long as nuclear weapons exist, we are not truly safe," Obama said.
"After a comprehensive review, I've determined that we can ensure the security of America and our allies -- and maintain a strong and credible strategic deterrent -- while reducing our deployed strategic nuclear weapons by up to one-third," he continued.
"And I intend to seek negotiated cuts with Russia to move beyond Cold War nuclear postures," he said.
The president also renewed his call to tackle climate change, calling it the "global threat of our time."
"With a global middle class consuming more energy every day, this must now be an effort of all nations, not just some," the president said.
"For the grim alternative affects all nations - more severe storms, more famine and floods, new waves of refugees, coastlines that vanish, oceans that rise," he warned. "This is the future we must avert."

And he says he needs the help of Saginaw Township to tell it.
Toft, 67, is writing a tome on the history of Saginaw County's oldest and largest suburb as it nears its 177th birthday Friday, April 4.
The book, tentatively entitled "The Saga of Saginaw Township," will mark pre-historic times through the pre-World War II era, the retired educator said.
"Very little has been written about Saginaw Township," he said. "It will read like a Laura Ingalls Wilder book. Little house in the big woods."
Saginaw Township Supervisor Tim Braun said the look back will document a rich history.
"It's your foundation," he said. "Our history gives us roots, it gives a foundation on everything we do today."
Toft hopes people who have photos of one-room school houses, farms, brick factories, or any other historic person or thing will show up and share their finds with him for the book at an anniversary commemoration 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Arrowwood Conference Center, 5410 Seidel.
"The most important link here is the community," he said. "In their closets, in their attics, they've got photos."
Originally, the thickly forested township spanned 1,224 square miles and was part of Oakland County. "It was just a very big mass area," he said.
The first territory of its kind in the county, the sprawling community linked with Tittabawassee and Tuscola townships to create Saginaw County in 1835, Toft said.
Saginaw Township had less than 30 settlers in 1830, he said. By 1940, it had reached 3,000 residents and today more than 40,000 live there.
The Chippewa Indians called it home before European settlers started to arrive in the 1830s. Many arrived on foot, ox drawn wagon or on horseback from Detroit, Toft said.
Sawing through elm, oak and maple trees, settlers, on average, felled an acre a year, he said, then considered a good haul.
"These trees were gigantic," he said.
Lumberjacks felled far more in the 19th century. Logs poured into the Tittabawassee River, which like the Saginaw River floated the green gold to saw mills during the lumber boom.
"Had there not been a Tittabawassee River here, Saginaw would not have become what it became," Toft said.
At the Thursday event, historian Charles Hoover also will present the history of early township homes and farms. Toft will revisit the era the pages of his book will travel.
Toft, president of the Saginaw Township Community Schools Foundation, intends to have the book published later this year. He also hopes schools will use what he finds to teach local history in the classroom.

BostonX, edX, and future partnerships increase the open revolution in education
City of Boston teams up with edX to create BostonX
The City of Boston has teamed with edX to create BostonX. It will offer free online college courses throughout the city. And it will make MOOCs (massive open online courses) available at community colleges and libraries throughout the city.
BostonX is still in its infancy but the city hopes to make MOOCs more available and accessible to residents and visitors. Boston's Mayor Thomas Menino envisions neighborhoods as "mini campuses" around the city. He believes that this will only increase the city's impact and standing on the nation and world as at the forefront of education.
Anant Agarwal, edX's president, sees BostonX as a huge boon for online learning and the start of an open movement and revolution. The fact that Boston is home to numerous colleges and universities (both private and public) makes the innovative venture and partnership a logical place to start. It's only a matter of time until Cambridge, MA, the city across the Charles River from Boston and home to Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), enters a partnership with edX too. In fact, Agarwal is already in talks with the city of Cambridge, MA. Likewise Boston's Mayor Menino is already in talks with other cities, including Cambridge, across the country and around the world to implement similar partnerships in theirs.
In time, it is likely that we will see communities across the country and globe embrace the concept of BostonX and its partnership with edX or an equivalent, such as with Coursera or Udacity. What will be exciting to watch is how soon BostonX, edX, and other open learning sites will penetrate the K-12 market. I predict it's only a matter of time before that happens too. Once that starts to happen, the open movement and revolution will gain traction and speed. Meanwhile, the open movement and revolution continues to push ahead in higher education and at the college level.
EdX is a non-for-profit enterprise that was founded by Harvard University and MIT to transform online learning both at the college level. However, MIT has also played a role in developing the K-12 level as well as expanding its impact in higher education. EdX has helped launch MITx –free online MIT courses, video lectures, quizzes, and online labs; while Salman Khan of Khan Academy and MIT have created MIT + K12—to address the challenges in primary and secondary education in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math in the US. This venture has garnered far less notoriety than MITx but is no less significant or important to the open source movement and revolution.
Other non-for-profit organizations such as Education Portal and the Saylor Foundation have already developed free or open courses for the K-12 market and it will be interesting to watch whether these will form partnerships with edX, BostonX, or similar ventures. Again, time will tell, but I will hazard to say that we are on a wave of a huge shift for online learning in the future.

MOOCs creators have already started to reinvent themselves. I think creating courses like BostonX will open the doors of many such innovative ideas.
It's a wonderful initiative, but I am not sure how partnering with edX helps. For a community learning center it would be far better to harness the power of all MOOCS, rather than just edX.
It's more about the intent, and empowering libraries and other community centers to become a sort of learning commons.
A real world co-op to complement online resources would be wonderful.
I have tried a few attempts at teaching online, and almost everytime I have to the conclusion that we need a real world setting which will provide learners a place to interact. A learning co-op will close the loop and actually make it possible to gain maximum benefit from online resources.
Parag, a learning co-operative is a good idea. Having said so i must say that now the virtual classrooms are so advanced that it is as good as a face to face class. I teach Physics and us WizIQ VC ( http://www.wiziq.com/Virtual_Classroom.aspx ) and my students are absoulutely happy with the experience.
Kajal, I agree that virtual classrooms are fairly advanced and give the impression of being in the same place.
They work very well when we need to bring together people who may be geographically separated.
At the same time I do believe that real world settings do add more value in human interactions. When possible, I still feel that real world co-ops to complement virtual co-ops might still be a good idea.
Carolyn, thanks for links to the resources you mentioned. Many new initiatives are coming up, and each of them trying to address the problem a little bit differently.
I think that's great... with time we will have plenty of options that will fulfill the needs of different types of learners.

RANGOON — When US President Barack Obama arrives in Burma one week from today, he will be making history as the first American leader ever to set foot in the country. But if you ask ordinary Burmese what they think of the visit, few betray much excitement.
"I'm just struggling to make ends meet, so it doesn't matter much to me," says Shwe Ni, a taxi driver in the former Burmese capital, when asked what he thought about Obama's planned stopover here next Monday as part of a three-nation tour of Southeast Asia.
Like many others in this city, which is fast becoming one of the region's investment hotspots, Shwe Ni said he was aware of the imminent visit, but is just too busy to care. All the buzz about Burma rejoining the international community has yet to make much difference to him, he added.
Not everyone, however, is so completely jaded by the thought of yet another foreign visitor coming to the country to talk business or politics. On Sunday, a group of artists in Rangoon's Tamwe Township painted a large graffiti-style portrait mural of Obama to welcome the newly re-elected president.
"We painted it to express our support for Obama's visit," said Akar Kyaw, one of the artists. Asked why he thought the visit was significant, he said: "We hear that the US will help Burma to improve its education."
Evidently, however, not everyone seems to share his sentiments: overnight, vandals defaced the mural, covering it with black spray paint.
Still, said Akar Kyaw, it's good that Burma is getting closer to a developed, democratic country like the US—far better, he said, than relying on China, which has never shown much interests in anything other than the country's resources.
That doesn't mean, however, that Burma is about to distance itself completely from its largest and most powerful neighbor, according to Thakin Chan Htun, a former Burmese ambassador to China who said that US moves in the region aimed to limit, but not eliminate, China's growing influence.
"As a longtime ally of Burma, China will try to maintain its friendship with Burma even as it opens up to the West and ties between the US and Burma improve," he said, speaking to The Irrawaddy on Monday.
But even if the Burmese response to a growing US role in their country remains rather lukewarm, there is still an undeniable chill in most people's perceptions of China—something that Beijing is only now beginning to acknowledge, after decades of cultivating close ties with Burmese military rulers who until last year showed little interest in public opinion.
This has set off a frenzy of hand-wringing among Chinese intellectuals about how to counter Washington's growing sway in Naypyidaw. In an article published by Asia Times Online, veteran Burma watcher Bertil Lintner wrote that several papers have appeared in Chinese academic journals recently suggesting ways that Beijing can improve its standing among ordinary Burmese, including a possible public relations campaign to counter China's negative image.
There are also reports that Beijing is now telling Chinese investors operating in foreign countries to be more respectful of local customs and people, and to show some sense of social responsibility. Some companies appear to be getting the message: China National Petroleum Corporation, which is building a controversial oil pipeline across Burma, has started constructing schools in villages along the pipeline, according to a report by The Economist.
Meanwhile, China's media is also taking a growing interest in what is happening beyond its border with its once moribund neighbor. Asked why, a journalist for The Global Times, a Beijing-based English-language daily, said, "I think it is mainly because of all the significant changes there [in Burma]."
Zhu Feng, a professor of international relations at Peking University, told The Economist that "alarm bells started ringing" for the Chinese over Burma when construction of the Myitsone dam on the Irrawaddy River was unexpectedly halted last year.
China's mistake, he said, was to focus only on building relationships with government officials, without paying any attention to "domestic political nuances."
If the US hopes to do any better in Burma, however, it will also have to go beyond high-profile, high-level meetings between senior leaders, and turns its focus squarely on issues that matter most to ordinary people.
What a great way of encouragement with a historic visit of US president Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton! This is the best way in helping one under privileged society to move step forward. Every heart that has beat strong and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.
Burma needs helps, not blames for its lack of skills to get its dream of tolerated democratic country. America is envy of many different nations, and Burma will be very lucky to have it as its mentor in reaching its dream. Burma lacks the skills, not intelligence; with the right mentor, it can catch up with the skills required to its democratization. Thank you very much United States of America and its people for ushering Burma to its potential with helps; not blames.
The Burmese Freedom Fighter
It's very true that the Chinese government only cultivates relationships with
governments to curry favor in business. They only want the natural resources, real
estate, and business. This is why ordinary Burmese hate the Chinese. The chickens are coming
home to roost! Or, what goes around comes around.
Bert is a self-styled 'Burma expert'. All his articles are self-supporting, self-satisfying and self-serving. The world knows, including ordinary Burmese, which country is at war for the last decade and showing no signs of ending its 'war on terror'.
I disagree with you. Bertil Lintner writes with great insight and clarity.
what does Uncle Sam propose 'COME AND JOIN THE COBRA GAMES" get it, all the US understands is Military Exercises, WAR; WAR & WAR, keep them out of Asia, S.E.Asia and South Asia.
Where has the International Court been with regards to the CRIMES commited in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, leave alone the Middle East.
Yanks dropped more bombs in small Laos,( more than half still to explode now!), than all of Europe by all forces in the World War II. Plus Agent Orange, electrocution of people in the water-filled tunnels in Vietnam, peddling drugs, massacres in all countries, list of cruelty and immorality is endless.
But that is simply the way the Yanks are. Were and are.People like Hun Sen, buddy of Than Shwe, Thaksin, etc., would routinely blackmail the Yanks to use these to agitate and start popular demonstration for those International Criminal Court thingy which is simply under US/ EU control any way.After all, this Black guy is just a part-actor serving his masters, the multinational corporations. But the Burmese are simply keen for famous people worship with no interest or understanding of what it entails, like a 15 year old in love.The MAIN problem of the people in Burma in particular as well as all of the South-East Asian populace is LACK of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING and overall worldly vision and true understanding of the bankrupt status of the "western" financial system and razor thin ice skating of social eruptions all over Europe and preparedness of the American governmental institutions for civil war in the United States.With the international "Media" co-opted for the international business drumming up for superficial BS that common people admire and hiding the genuinely important facts, there is desperate need for EDUCATION of the majority public in Asia and Burma in particular. Especially, because Burma still is at a stage it could be saved from the brink.Knowledge is the true power.
What is Burma to America? Other than helping, America does not have much to gain. The natural resources had been emptied by communist China, and not much is left. Please be so negative. Burma can gain something by having good relationship with America and the West. What do the West gain from Thailand? Not much. But Thailand gains a lot from the West by having terrific relationship. Containing China is good for us. Because China does not care the destruction of Burma and its natural resources. Hundreds of thousands of Burmese people who live in America know best that America is not a crook like communist China.
Hello Tainamkawng, I am glad that you and I are on the same page on this chapter. Please do not pay too much attention to those blamers. For sure, America will be very good friend of Burma. Burma is in
the curve of its modem history for a positive change toward a tolerated
democratic system. Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out
how far one can go.
Destiny of Burma belongs to the people of Burma. We will
only get what we want, depending on the decision we make from a moment to
moment. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can
change the world. Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if
we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the
change that we seek. And that is how change happens: One gesture, one person,
and one moment at a time. The Burmese Freedom Fighter

Tonight is a big night for Bon Appetit. (No, we're not throwing another vinyl party in the office.) At midnight, we'll launch our first line of products on HSN—the brand-spanking-new Bon Appetit Collection, including cookware, kitchen appliances, and tools designed to help you take your cooking to the next level.
We've rigorously tested and approved each pot, pan, and immersion blender, so last week we threw a party in The BA Kitchen and invited some of our favorite bloggers and food editors so they could taste the results.
To fuel the party, former Top Chef contestant Ryan Scott (the official chef of The BA Collection) joined Bon Appetit Chef de Cuisine Mary Nolan behind the range. "Any day you can have lunch with a Top Chef contestant is a good day," said Dave Lipp, Managing Editor & CEO of the New York City events blog shortandsweetnyc.com, as he watched Scott whip up a batch of stir-fried brussels sprouts in one of our skillets.
Eighteen bloggers and editors came by to eat, drink, and scope out the new collection of cookware and small appliances. While Ryan used the cookware (and dished out those sprouts), Nolan tended to yogurt-marinated chicken and crispy Baltimore crab cakes, both made on our reversible electric grill/griddle. "Until now, I had really only used an electric grill for pancakes," Nolan said. "This one is double-sided, so you could make pancakes on the flat side for breakfast, then flip it over and grill chicken on the ridged side for dinner. It's a lifesaver that the plate can go in the dishwasher."

Directed by
Lewis Gilbert
Sink the Bismarck is a faithful retelling of the British Navy's attempts to debilitate the German mega-battleship Bismarck. Based on C.S. Forester's book and directed by Lewis Gilbert (of James Bond film fame) the real-life naval battle is detailed and fascinating as it delves deep into the successes and failures of one small triumph of the war. We are treated to exposure of massive amounts of information leaving character development to take a backseat. This helps produce an almost documentary-like representation through Edmund H. North's ( In a Lonely Place and The Day the Earth Stood Still )confident screenplay. Both Kenneth More and the beautiful Dana Wynter are really given no opportunities to shine as the story takes full command of our senses. Most enjoyable is the films lack of judgment - sure the Axis are the bad guys whose fatal flaw is excessive pride in their war machine - but it has glimmers of extolling an anti-war sentiment that I found quite refreshing. Young men of both nationalities are shown dying horrible deaths.
This is very much worth seeing - a very complete and thorough war development film that I strongly recommend.

ABSTRACT: Proper staging of melanoma is crucial to defining prognosis and subsequent recommendations for treatment and follow-up care. Two components of melanoma staging include pathological and clinical staging. Pathological staging includes microstaging of the tumor itself and pathological information about the regional lymph nodes, whereas clinical staging incorporates the microstaging of the primary tumor as well as clinical and radiological evaluation for metastasis. To educate patients about their individual diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up recommendations, dermatology nurses must understand these differences in staging as well as the specific factors that comprise each category of the American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor-node-metastasis classification and staging system.
The incidence of melanoma is increasing faster than that of any other cancer. Fortunately, most melanomas (approximately 80%) are diagnosed at early localized stages, and surgery alone is curative. For patients at high risk for recurrence, a systemic approach to treatment may be necessary to reduce risk, and for some with more advanced or widespread melanoma, treatment may be palliative in nature in an effort to reduce or improve symptoms.
Proper staging of melanoma is crucial for defining prognosis and for determining the optimal treatment approach. Several cancer staging systems are used worldwide; one of the most common staging systems is the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification endorsed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). The TNM system classifies cancers, including melanoma, by the size and extent of the primary tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence or absence of distant metastasis (M), supplemented in recent years by carefully selected (nonanatomic) prognostic factors (Edge et al., 2010, p. 3). This system of classifying cancer by TNM status determines clinical Stage I, II, III, or IV for every cancer.
With regard to melanoma specifically, the T category is based on the thickness (or depth) of the primary melanoma measured in millimeters, and is further subcategorized to include the presence or absence of ulceration and mitotic rate-two very important prognostic features of a primary melanoma (Table 1). The N category (Table 2) is determined by the presence and extent of regional lymph node involvement, and is further subcategorized according to number of involved lymph nodes and whether the metastases were macroscopic or microscopic (palpable or determined by sentinel-node evaluation, respectively). In-transit and satellite metastases are also included in the N staging. The M category (Table 3) is determined by the presence or absence of distant metastases (including skin), by site of disease, and serum LDH level.
Melanomas without regional lymphatic spread are designated as Stage I or II. The staging of node-negative melanomas is based on the thickness (or depth) of the primary lesion at the time of definitive excision (Table 4). It also includes the presence or absence of ulceration, with the absence of ulceration defined as an intact epidermal layer overlying the melanoma. Thickness and ulceration are pathological features determined by microscopic examination. Before 2010, definition for T1 or thin melanomas (<1 mm) incorporated Breslow depth in addition to depth of invasion (Clark's level). According to Balch et al. (2009), a multivariate analysis of 4,861 T1 melanomas, tumor thickness, mitotic rate, and ulceration were the most powerful predictors of survival outcome for T1 melanoma patients, and the level of invasion was no longer statistically significant when mitotic rate and ulceration were included in the analysis. On the basis of this observation, in the 2010 staging system, Clark's level has been replaced by mitotic rate. As shown in Figure 1, with increasing thickness, the mortality rate increases, and within each level of thickness, ulceration confers a poorer prognosis.
Stage III melanoma is defined by involvement of (spread to) regional lymph nodes and/or the presence of satellite and/or in-transit metastases. Lymphatic metastases within 2 cm of the primary lesion are designated satellite metastases; those located more than 2 cm from the primary melanoma but before the first echelon of draining lymph nodes are designated in-transit metastases (Lawrence & Rubin, 2009). For melanomas that have spread to lymph nodes, the presence of ulceration of the primary tumor retains its prognostic significance; in other words, the prognostic features of the primary lesion are still considered in determining a patient's prognosis. The burden of tumor in the lymph nodes is highly predictive of outcome and is represented by the number of metastatic lymph nodes (Figure 2) and whether the involvement is microscopic (clinically inapparent before surgery) or macroscopic (clinically apparent; Lawrence & Rubin, 2009). The outcomes of these categories of nodal involvement are shown in Table 5. Stage IV melanoma represents distant metastatic spread and is stratified according to sites of involvement and serum LDH level. On the basis of these T, N, and M criteria, patients can be grouped according to prognosis. Long-term survival is rare in metastatic melanoma but is seen in up to 20% of patients with M1a disease (skin and nodal involvement only).
The definition of "high risk" is somewhat ambiguous; however, depth of the primary lesion (also known as Breslow depth), presence of ulceration, and nodal involvement, including microscopic involvement versus macroscopic involvement, are the major prognostic indicators that enable clinicians to determine a patient's individualized risk. These factors are included in the AJCC staging guidelines (Edge et al., 2010). Changes to the latest edition reflect a more accurate understanding of certain features that impact a patient's prognosis.
The seventh edition of the Cancer Staging Manual is effective for cancer cases diagnosed on or after January 1, 2010. The seventh edition includes evidence-based revisions that further clarify the TNM classifications and stage grouping criteria, reflecting an improved understanding of the disease. These recommendations are based on a multivariate analysis of approximately 38,000 patients with melanoma, 30,946 with Stages I, II, and III melanoma and the remainder with Stage IV melanoma (Balch et al., 2009).
The recommendations for changes were the result of an evidence-based analysis of the patients from the database. Essentially, there were four primary changes to the melanoma staging system:
1. mitotic rate per square millimeter is now to be used for categorizing T1 melanoma;
2. immunohistochemical (IHC) detection of nodal metastases is allowed;
3. there is no lower threshold for staging N+ disease; and
4. because of the large variability between clinical and pathological staging, a standard recommendation for sentinel-node staging as standard patient care is encouraged and should be required before clinical trial entry (Flaherty, Agarwala, & Rubin, 2009).
Mitotic rate, a measure of tumor proliferation in the dermis, is defined by the number of mitosis per square millimeter and indicates the number of cells that are in the process of dividing (mitosis) in a specified amount of melanoma tissue. Data from the Melanoma Staging Database clearly demonstrate an inverse relationship between mitotic rate and survival. In other words, the higher the mitotic rate, the more aggressive the lesion, and the higher the risk for metastases and subsequent death. Analysis of the Melanoma Staging Database has identified mitotic rate as a powerful and independent predictor of survival (Balch et al., 2009). Mitotic rate is now a required component of the staging system and will be used as the primary criterion for defining T1b melanomas. Clark's level will no longer be considered in the definition of T1 lesions, as discussed earlier in the manuscript. The exception to this would be only if mitotic rate cannot be determined in a nonulcerated T1 lesion; in this case, Clark's level may be used.
The second notable change in the latest AJCC melanoma staging guidelines includes the use of IHC detection of nodal metastases. The presence of nodal involvement historically has been determined by standard hematoxylin and eosin-stained sectioning; however, with the increasing availability of IHC staining to detect melanoma-associated antigens, it is now possible to consistently detect nodal metastases in just a few aggregate of cells (0.1 mm or less), an extremely low volume of tumor (Balch et al., 2009; Edge et al., 2010). Although it is recommended that both hematoxylin and eosin and IHC be performed, the AJCC considers IHC alone acceptable to determine the presence of microscopic nodal metastases, as long as the diagnosis is based on at least one melanoma-associated marker (such as HMB-45, Melan-A/MART 1) and the cells have malignant morphologic features that can be detected in the IHC-stained slides. Prognosis for patients with cutaneous melanoma is dependent on the number of involved regional nodes and the thickness of the primary tumor. As most patients who now present with Stage III melanoma do so with clinically uninvolved nodes and micrometastases diagnosed by sentinel-node biopsy, this change in practice involving the use of IHC translates into more refined and favorable survival estimates for patients with Stages IB-IIIA melanoma (Balch et al., 2009).
Staging is a way to determine the extent of involvement of the cancer. Another change in the new melanoma guidelines involves the difference between clinical and pathological staging. There are two types of staging for melanoma: clinical and pathological. Clinical staging is determined by microstaging of the primary as well as clinical evidence and/or radiologic evidence of metastases (results of CAT or PET scans, MRI, or ultrasound). Pathological staging includes the clinical staging, in addition to biopsy information from nodal or other visceral organ biopsies, if any. Pathological Stage 0 or Stage IA patients do not require nodal evaluation (i.e., sentinel-node evaluation); thus, they will not have information about nodal biopsies.
Significant differences in survival rates have been identified in patients who were clinically staged compared with those whose nodal disease was staged pathologically and those survival differences were statistically significant among all T categories except stage T4b (Edge et al., 2010, p. 328). Therefore, the AJCC Melanoma Staging Committee now recommends that sentinel lymph node biopsy be performed as a staging procedure in patients for whom the information will be useful in planning subsequent treatments and follow-up regimens (Balch et al., 2009). The risk for regional nodal involvement increases with increasing thickness of the primary melanoma. On the basis of this observation, the AJCC advocates that sentinel-node staging be a requirement for clinical trial entry for patients presenting with clinical Stage IB or II disease.
As there is now the widespread use of IHC to determine nodal involvement, another change to the 2010 AJCC staging guidelines for melanoma includes no lower threshold for node-positive disease. The ability to detect even the tiniest tumor burden by IHC has led researchers to question just how much tumor burden is clinically significant. Evidence published in the melanoma literature demonstrates that even small volumes (e.g., 0.1 mm or less [just a few cells] are associated with a worse prognosis over time (Balch et al., 2009). This observation contradicts a prior held belief that isolated tumor cells in the lymph nodes, particularly in the subcapsular sinus, are of no adverse biological significance.
The revisions to the AJCC staging system, along with advances in technology, allow patients with melanoma to be staged more precisely (Flaherty et al., 2009). More precise staging enables a greater understanding of an individual's risk for metastases and therefore the best recommendations for further treatment and follow-up, with the ultimate goal being increased survival.
Editor's Note: The American Cancer Society provides an excellent explanation, useful for patients and clinicians, on how melanoma is staged, using the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) system. http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/SkinCancer-Melanoma/DetailedGuide/melanoma-skin-cancer-staging (retrieved November 1, 2010).

Another big winter storm is moving up the East Coast. It's the second blast of winter weather to hit the region in the last two days.
Central Massachusettes saw six inches of snow Wednesday and there are still widespread power outages.
The National Weather Service calls this latest storm "significant and long-lasting," packing wind gusts of 40 to 50 miles per hour.
Some areas could see more than a foot of snow by Friday -- including Philadelphia, which has already seen more than 70 inches of snow this season.
"It might not be until early next week that we get rid of the storm completely," said meteorologist Hugh Johnson of the National Weather Service's Albany, N.Y. office.
Wednesday's snowstorm ended a long stretch without a major snowfall in the Northeast. The region had avoided most of the severe weather that walloped the mid-Atlantic in recent weeks.

Question details
Gardens allow you to reap a lot while sowing a little. What do you do to stretch your garden dollar...pound..euro...etc?
Make some garden friends in your area. This can help save money through shared tools (the types you only use a couple times a year), seedling exchanges, etc.
Start your own seedlings in small, red "Solo" type plastic cups. Just put a small hole in the bottom for drainage. Moisten the seed starter mix in the cup, plant the seeds, moisten again, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Place by a sunny window and soon they will sprout. You can re-use the cups and plastic wrap many, many times. I also cut old plastic mini blinds and use them as markers in the cups to know what's planted. These also can be re-used many times.
Make your own compost and mulch, grow open-pollinated varieties so that you can save seeds, and don't buy anything in a package. Except seeds.
Good topic! One year members of our garden club were interviewed weekly on the local radio station. When it was my turn my topic was - free stuff for gardening. They never had more phone calls! :-) My favorite free thing is collecting seeds from all over the valley - both town & countryside. I spot likely plants while biking or driving & make a mental note to return in season. Sometimes it' harvesting seed in a friend's garden when they were going to just compost it all. I love the seasonal celebration this provides & the variety you can collect gives you seed to swap. It pays to put together a mobile seed-collecting kit. I ended up buying paper coin envelopes for convenience in labeled gifting & swapping.
Save your toilet paper and paper towel tubes. Fold in the bottom of the toilet paper tubes, fill with potting soil and use to sprout seeds. Paper towel tubes can yield 2 tubes.
Make a compost pile using coffee grounds from your local coffee stand and used paper towels. Add other stuff as you get it.

CHL pick Karlsson not joining Otters
Anton Karlsson has chosen his immediate family over joining the Erie Otters' family.
Skelleftea AIK, the top-tier Swedish Hockey League's two-time defending champion, announced Wednesday it has signed Karlsson to a two-year contract. Kevin Epp, of Titan Sports Management in Vancouver, British Columbia, said his client has chosen to play closer to home in Sweden.
"He didn't have anything against Erie," Epp said.
Still, it appears the Otters won't have their first-round pick in last month's CHL Import Draft in the lineup for the 2014-15 OHL season. That has surprised Otters officials.
Karlsson's agents and officials from the Arizona Coyotes, who picked him in the third round of the NHL Entry Draft in June, wanted him to play with the Otters. Sherry Bassin, Otters managing partner and general manager, and Dave Brown, Otters assistant manager of hockey operations, met with Karlsson last Friday in Lake Placid, N.Y.
Karlsson, who turned 18 on Aug. 3, was in Lake Placid with Sweden's national junior team participating in the USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp. He played with Otters goaltender Oscar Dansk and winger Andre Burakovsky on Sweden's silver medal-winning team at the IIHF World Junior Championship in Sweden last winter.
"At that point, I could have thought it was better than 50-50," Brown said, referring to the odds of Karlsson committing to the Otters. "He seemed upbeat and optimistic."
Epp said Karlsson looked forward to playing in North America in the months before the CHL draft. At that time, Epp said there was an 80 percent chance of Karlsson coming over.
But Epp said doubts began to creep into Karlsson's mind after the draft.
"Obviously he changed his mind," Epp said. Karlsson, who has signed to play with Skelleftea's junior under-20 team and not the professional club, could choose to join the Otters this season.
The Otters have until the OHL's Jan. 10 trade deadline to sign Karlsson and add him to the roster. Still, Epp doesn't foresee talks with Karlsson in the near future.
"You don't want to put too much pressure on the players to make those decisions," Epp said.
- Notes: Epp didn't offer a promising update on Burakovsky's future in Erie. "The chances of him coming back to Erie probably aren't as good as any of the other players," Epp said, referring to Otters veterans that could begin their professional careers this season. ... Dylan Strome had an assist in Canada's 5-1 win over Slovakia on Wednesday in the U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup in Piestany, Slovakia. Group B winner Canada (3-0) faces Group A runner-up United States (2-1) in Friday's 11:30 a.m. semifinal. ... The Otters announced the signing of seven prospects from the 2013 and 2014 OHL drafts - goaltender Jake Lawr, defenseman T.J. Fergus and forwards Shaun Bily, Patrick Fellows, Trent Fox (brother of former Otters winger Dane Fox), Kyle Maksimovich (brother of current Otters forward Quentin Maksimovich) and Frank Pucci.

@ Pantages Theatre
as the first rock musical, "Hair" broke down Broadway's traditional
barriers of language, action and nudity. Debuting to mixed reviews back
in the day, some audiences weren't ready for its daring style and frank
commentary on sex, drugs, military service, and organized religion. Now
a classic, "Hair" has become synonymous with 1960s Vietnam-era
America: The Age of Aquarius. Its excellent score penned by Galt MacDermot
helped to define the era with "Aquarius," "Hair,"
and "Let the Sunshine In." Check out "Hair" this week
at Pantages Theatre. It'll be a trip. July 8 - Aug. 1. Tue.-Thu. 7:30
p.m.; Fri. 8 p.m.; Sat. 5 & 9 p.m.; Sun. 2 & 7 p.m. $32.50 - $46.50.

time the lights go up for the opening concert Thursday evening until the
last refrain of the grand finale Sunday night, you'll hear and discover
some of the finest musicians on the planet. This year's lineup includes
the Buena Vista Social Club, Utah Phillips, Tegan and Sara, Taj Mahal
and the Hula Blues, and many, many more. July 8-11. $55 per day; $135

They Might Be Giants
@ First Avenue
to Weird Al, no ones made a better living off quirky joke-heavy pop music
than They Might Be Giants. Although reknowned for their zaniness, the
band's talent shouldn't be overlooked and their way with a pop-rock melody
is consistently solid (unlike Yankovic, these guys are actual musicians
who write their own songs). The duo of John Linnell and John Flandsburg
are going on 20 years of achieving the ultimate "Revenge of the Nerds"
coup, morphing from High School wallflowers into bonafide rock stars (of
a certain geeky stripe at least). Get ready for accordions people —
lots of accordions! With Corn Mo and Common Rotation. 6 p.m. $15. 21+.
701 First Ave. N., Mpls. 612-338-8388. Louis Lenzmeier
Bill Mike
@The 400 Bar
Mike has seen a lot (the man spent a few years pulling roadie duty for
both legends and has-beens in L.A. before moving to the Twin Cities and
putting his own music down to tape); the experience shows in his music.
Although a tantalizing tiny sampler, Mike's latest EP, the three-track
Letter To Yourself is a slick and sassy slice of pop (which makes sense
when considering Mike's past pedigree as a guitarist with the hip-shakin'
Iffy). It will have to do until a full-length drops this fall —
Mike is currently spending time between gigs holed up in the studio with
the likes of Ev Olcott (12Rods) and Joe Mabbott (who's worked extensively
with Atmosphere). As far as what to expect on the forthcoming record,
I was given only this cryptic description by the man himself, "the
new stuff is probably a tad more on the rock/groove side of things."
And to think I already thought things were rockin' and groovin' as is!
With Coach Said Not To and Story of the Sea. 9 p.m. $6. 21+. 400 Cedar
Ave. S., Mpls. 612-332-2903. Rob van Alstyne
The Counting Crows
@ The Basilica Block Party
know I'm bound to catch tons of crap for this, but it's time I come clean
- I like the Counting Crows … a lot. Lead singer/dreadlock-sporting
cabbage patch doll Adam Duritz is the sort of polarizing figure that all
rock stars should be, you either buy into his heart on sleeve intensity
and manic stage energy … or find it really obnoxious. I can't understand
why the same histrionics that people love in say, Michael Stipe, are deemed
unacceptable from Duritz (maybe it's a facial hair prejudice). Duritz
and Co. have continued to crank out some of the best the mainstream has
to offer, even as the Crows commercial profile continues to slip steadily
out of the superstar spectrum. 2002's Hard Candy was a solid record of
Sgt. Peppers inspired studio splendor, but barely got noticed on radio
before the ill-advised hidden track take on Joni Mitchell's "Big
Yellow Taxi" became an unexpected, and completely facile, hit. The
equally questionable "Shrek 2" anthem "Accidentally In
Love" is the Crows' latest gambit to stay on the pop radio radar.
Here's hoping it fails and the band go back to doing what made them one
of the few bright lights during the otherwise dim era of commercial radio
in the second half of the '90s - which means getting back to the classic
leaning mopey folk-rock they buttered their bread with in the first place.
With Wheat, the Honeydogs, Joe Firstman, the Humans, and O.A.R. on two
separate stages. Counting Crows at 9 p.m. 5 p.m. $30. All Ages. Corner
of Hennepin & 17th Street, 612-317-3511. van Alstyne
TC Electropunk Compilation Release Show
@ Big V's
get ready to be taken down to funky town as some of the Twin Cities sassiest
acts are getting ready to shake their money makers in the confines of
Big V's in honor of the release of the Twin Cities first ever electropunk
compilation CD. Ten tracks from a wide range of ambitious Twin Cities
up and comers with a fascination for all things synthetic. The comp is
free and available at shows like this one - which features five bands
for the very modest price of five ducats! Featuring Astral Grey, Thosquanta,

651-645-8472. Electro Suzy
Stories on a String
@ Midtown Public Market
Midtown Public Market is no longer simply a place to pick up some fruits
and vegetables. Now you can pick up some theater on your trip. For the
first time ever, the Market is featuring artists in residence. Kari Tauring
and Anne Sawyer-Aitch will perform a puppet show series every Saturday
morning from July through September. The performance, entitled "Stories
on a String," is inspired by Brazil's popular "Literatura de
cordel" or "String Literature" where small chapbooks containing
ballads and woodcut illustrations hang from pieces of strings in the market.
Adding puppetry and song to tell three different stories, Sawyer-Aitch
and Tauring put a Minneapolis spin on the Brazilian tradition. In true
market fashion, Chapbooks, CDs and puppets will be available for shoppers
to take home. July 10 - Sept. 30 (except July 31). 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m.
and 12 noon. Free. Midtown Public Market, Lake St. & 22nd Ave., Mpls.
612-376-7502. Katie Bodin
Idiot Box
@ Hey City Theatre
Drop the remote and head to the theatre for a night of virtual channel
surfing. Idiot Box, a fast-paced multimedia sketch comedy group will once
again bring their unique blend of live performance and video segments
to the stage at Hey City Theater. Nothing
is sacred in an Idiot Box show — they spoof local celebrities, twist
current events, and expose corporate America. It's bawdy, irreverent and
it's still chock full of fat men in tights! July 10-31. Sat. 7:30 p.m.
$15. Hey City Theater, 824 Hennepin Ave., 612-872-0300. Gyros
@ Triple Rock Social Club
Maybe it's this whole Braid reunion business that's got me feeling nostalgic
for boys with buzzing guitars and emotional issues, but either way, the
sound of TC youngster's Kurmudgeon on their debut outing for local all
ages scene king Afternoon Records, Cables & Ties, has me doing
some pretty fierce head-bopping. Making up what they lack in originality
with some seriously passionate and technically impressive playing, Kurmudgeon
could easily make a large impact on the emo hungry masses of under-agers
populating this great nation. Featuring three vocalists, Kurmudgeon have
figured out that the only thing more energetic than one dude belting away
is two dudes helping him out (preferably in cool stuttering overlapping
patterns). With Cowboy Curtis (see
pg. 20 for feature) and TBA. 5 p.m. $7. All Ages. 629 Cedar Ave.
S., Mpls. 612-333-7399. van Alstyne
Dead Meadow
@ The 7th St. Entry
typical red-blooded American of today thinks of crooked politicians and
expensive Scotch on the rocks when playing word association games with
the phrase "Washington, D.C." Which is too bad-because in addition
to that crap-there's also a lively music scene, boasting groups like the
fun psychedelic/punky hybrid Dead Meadow. If you happen to be checking
into the land of power-hungry elected officials anytime soon, Dead Meadow
is just one of more than a few rock acts that political wannabes in the
nation's capital happen to be privilege to. Although admittedly indebted
to Led Zeppelin, Dead Meadow re-energize their '70s rock sound with a
refreshing "we don't give a shit attitude. With the Icarus Line and
Battles. 9 p.m. $9. 21+. 701 First Ave. N., Mpls. 612-338-8388.

Times have changed when it comes to guns, education
While taking a speech class at Colorado State College (now UNC) in 1963, one of our assignments was to give a talk using a visual aid. I chose gun safety for my topic. On the day of my presentation, I slung my Mauser rifle over my shoulder, (no case) trudged across campus in broad daylight, went to class, gave my talk, went back across campus again and locked the gun in my car. No one stopped me, or asked what I was doing or where I was going.
Now, 50 years later, a kid gets into trouble at school because his gnawed Pop Tart looks like a gun to a school official. And some fourth-graders don't know how to hold a pencil yet. As my grandparents used to say, "Solsher dummheit!" (such nonsense).

Creating a Private Haven
A landscape architect turns his bleak site into cozy terraces that invite outdoor living.
By Hermann Weis, ASLA
Copyright 2004, The Taunton Press Inc. Fine Gardening Magazine, www.FineGardening.com. Republished

From the lower level of our home near downtown Atlanta, we looked
out onto an ugly, sloping pad of broken-up concrete. Beyond that
were weeds and a fallen tree stump left over from Hurricane Opal's
visit in 1995. Our small backyard—60 feet wide and 80 feet deep—was
also exposed to views of our neighbors' yards and had no attractive
area that could be used for outdoor living. To make things worse,
the lot is steep. It drops 14 feet to the lowest point at the far-right
Our initial goals were to create a private garden space and
a pleasing view from the rooms that look out onto the backyard, while providing
parking for at least three cars. As a landscape architect, I knew that remaking
this space would be an interesting challenge. Since my wife, June, and I both
like to garden—and to make the project affordable—we decided to do most of the
work ourselves.
