The Mayo Clinic SPORE in Pancreatic Cancer has an administrative core and three scientific cores, all of which help consolidate and facilitate the expertise required for effective pancreatic cancer research.
Directors: Gloria M. Petersen, Ph.D., and Charles Erlichman, M.D.
The Administrative Core provides organizational support for the leadership of the Mayo Clinic SPORE in Pancreatic Cancer, facilitates communication among the component activities of the SPORE, serves as the home for SPORE advocate activities, and provides an organizational portal for collaborations outside the SPORE.
The Administrative Core works across all three Mayo Clinic campuses using the institutional infrastructure for communications to ensure that investigators are seamlessly integrated as a SPORE organization.
Specifically, the Administrative Core:
Director: Ann L. Oberg, Ph.D.
The Biostatistics Core provides statistical collaboration and data management support for SPORE research projects, the Developmental Research Program, the Career Development Program and other cores within the SPORE.
The Biostatistics Core builds on the innovative and time-tested procedures and systems developed by Mayo Clinic, one of the largest statistical groups in the country.
Specifically, the Biostatistics Core:
The Clinical Research Core combines the SPORE's patient registry activities with activities that support clinical studies being conducted in the SPORE's four translational research projects.
The directors of the Clinical Research Core have extensive experience in the study and recruitment of patients to research protocols, both for observational studies and clinical trials. Using ultrarapid case finding, the SPORE's patient registry has accrued more than 10,000 participants since 2002. In addition, Mayo Clinic also diagnoses or treats an estimated 650 pancreatic cancer patients a year across its three campuses.
The Clinical Research Core also coordinates its activities closely with the Biostatistics Core and the Tissue Core to ensure the highest quality annotated biospecimens and pancreatic cancer database for research.
The close coordination and oversight of the most senior leaders of the SPORE ensures that all clinical research activities are performed with the highest level of research integrity and adherence to all human subject regulations.
Specifically, the Clinical Research Core:
Directors: Thomas C. Smyrk, M.D., and Lizhi Zhang, M.D.
The Tissue Core is responsible for accessioning and processing new biospecimens and making them available for use in the SPORE's translational research projects and as needed for the Developmental Research and Career Development programs. The Tissue Core provides sample accessioning and pathology support for the early-phase clinical trials as needed in these projects.
Requests for biospecimens are reviewed by the Biospecimen Access Committee for Pancreatic Cancer (BACPaC), with consideration given primarily to scientific merit and availability of specimens and their associated data needed for analysis.
The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center's Pathology Research Core provides expertise and service for immunohistochemistry, laser capture microdissection, tissue microarray preparation and digital imaging.
The Cancer Center's Biospecimens Accessioning and Processing Core is the primary site for accessioning and standardized processing of blood, frozen tissue and other nonparaffin-embedded specimens collected specifically for research.
New methodologies for biospecimen collection, processing and analysis are developed in the Tissue Core. These methodologies are shared with other Mayo Clinic Cancer Center SPORE tissue cores and integrated with services offered by the Biospecimens Accessioning and Processing Core and the Pathology Research Core.
Tissue Core activities are closely coordinated with the SPORE's Clinical Research Core and with the Biostatistics Core to provide a seamless link between clinical annotations and research biospecimens.
The Tissue Core also makes biospecimens available to the pancreatic cancer research community to stimulate translational research and improve the prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer.

On last night's episode of 'Dancing with the Stars,' the contestants dedicated their performances to marriages, births and other key moments that shaped their lives.
Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman performed a modern dance with partner Mark Ballas inspired by the hardships she endured while training for last summer's Olympics. Before the Olympic trials whose results secured her spot on the U.S. Gymnastics team, Raisman said she spent up to seven-and-a-half hours at the gym each day.
Judge Len Goodman said he liked the balance Raisman and Ballas struck between emotion and athleticism, while judge Bruno Tonioli said he enjoyed the dance's balance between bold movements and small, meaningful details.
"I'm very proud of you," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Raisman. "Perfection of movement is all you know, but contemporary dance is about perfection of emotion. This dance had perfect movement and perfect emotional connection. It was profound."
Comedian Andy Dick's performance earned a mediocre score, a 21, but it managed to bring Inaba to tears because he had dedicated his performance to his daughter.
Tonioli told Dick that his dance was "simple, effective and straight from the heart."
After regaining her composure, Inaba told Dick that his waltz was like "the simplest poem."
"Your movement vocabulary is small, but what you said with those few words is so beautiful," Inaba said.
Boxer Victor Ortiz and reality television star Lisa Vanderpump both earned scores of 18, which were the lowest of the night. Both contestants have been in jeopardy of being sent home before, so it's likely one of them will be sent home this week.
Ortiz's enthusiasm for his paso doble with partner Lindsay Arnold overpowered their execution of the routine.
Vanderpump, on the other hand, is still recovering from a flu that caused her to pass-out during a 'Dancing with the Stars' rehearsal. She decided just before last night's show began that she did want to perform.
"There were a lot of mistakes, but that's because the routine was under rehearsed," Tonioli said. "What you did, you did well."
Tune in to ABC tonight at 9 p.m. to find out which celebrity gets sent home.
Contestants and their Scores:
Zendaya Coleman partnered with Val Chmerkovskiy 9, 8, 9 (26)
Andy Dick partnered with Sharna Brugess 7, 7, 7 (21)
D.L. Hughley partnered with Cheryl Burke 7, 7, 7 (21)
Jacoby Jones partnered with Karina Smirnoff 8, 8, 8 (24)
Sean Lowe partnered with Peta Murgatroyd 6, 7, 7 (20)
Victor Ortiz partnered with Lindsay Arnold 6, 6, 6 (18)
Kellie Pickler partnered with Derek Hough 9, 8, 9 (26)
Ingo Rademacher partnered with Kim Johnson 8, 7, 8 (23)
Alexandra Raisman partnered with Mark Ballas 9, 9, 9 (27)

10 TV shows we want to see back on the small screen
Which classic series are headed to the remake factory next?
'Remington Steele'
Premise: After no one takes her seriously on her own, a female detective (Stephanie Zimbalist) opens a private investigation agency under the guise that a male superior, the fictitious Remington Steele, is really the boss. When a mysterious and suave con man (Pierce Brosnan) shows up claiming to be the real Steele, sparks fly in and out of the office.
Original airdates: 1982-1987
Why a reboot: One of the most ingenious series concepts in the history of television, it's a show that can keep viewers guessing for months about just who Steele is and will the duo ever trust each other to have a real romantic relationship. Can you imagine "Steele" in the age of the internet and recaps? But again, it's all about the casting.

The Undertaker – The Legacy of an (un)Living Legend – Part 4
Posted by James Tee
It goes without saying that the Attitude era is the most successful period of modern professional wrestling history. Not only did it come about due to the rise, and somewhat dominance of WCW. Mark Calaway was a huge part in the WWF overcoming the challenge posed by WCW, with feuds and matches still talked about and watched by fans all over the world today.
At Survivor Series in 1996, The Undertaker returned after being buried alive by Mankind at Summerslam, and in doing so, returned to face Mick Foley in a unique match. Paul Bearer, who had turned on Taker earlier in the year, was hung 20 feet above the ring in a mini steel cage. If Taker won, he would be allowed to get his hands on his one time manager, however, not all was as it seemed. After Taker won the match, once again The Executioner came out, and in turn, allowed Bearer and Mankind to escape.
The Executioner had become a thorn in his side, and at In Your House: It's Time
The Undertaker vs The Exectioner
Heading into the start of 1997, The Undertaker was starting to move into the main event scene once again, and after defeating The Executioner, he moved on to the Royal Rumble, and in particular, a match against Vader. Once again, Taker was cost the match by interference by Paul Bearer. The event was not over for both men though, as they clashed during the final moments of the Royal Rumble match before ultimately being eliminated by Steve Austin, who infamously won the match despite crawling back into the ring after being 'eliminated' by Bret Hart before going onto win the match. He would go on to face both Vader and Austin, as well as Bret Hart in a match for the vacant WWF Championship at In Your House 13: The Final Four, but ultimately came up short, with Bret Hart.
However, the end of his push was not over. The scene seemed to be made for the Deadman. It was Wrestlemania 13, unlucky for some, but for the deadman, it was the start of a real era of dominance.
The Undertaker vs Sycho Sid – Wrestlemania 13
Taker moved to 6 and 0, and not only that, he had captured the WWF championship on the highest platform in the WWF. Once again, he was placed into a program with Paul Bearer post-Wrestlemania, with Bearer attempting to join forces with the Deadman. Bearer claimed that he would reveal Taker's biggest secret, and through the storyline, it was revealed that Taker was a 'murderer', It was claimed that as a child, Taker had set fire to the family funeral business, where Bearer had once worked, and in the process, killed his parents and his younger half-brother.
Taker claimed there was no way that Bearer could have that information, but Bearer had another shock. Bearer revealed that Taker's younger brother was not in fact dead, but badly scarred, and in fact, Bearer had raised him on his own. Now he was ready for revenge.
This coincided with a feud between Shawn Michaels and Taker, which culminated with the first ever Hell in A Cell match at Badd Blood 1997. Michaels had cost Taker his title after hitting him with a steel chair whilst acting as Special Guest Referee at Summerslam, handing the title back to Bret Hart. After a double count out between the two at In Your House, Hell in A Cell was set.
Kane's WWF Debut – Badd Blood 1997
There is very little I can put into words about this, as the video above tells the whole story so much better. It was the first time in WWF that The Deadman had a rival who had some physical similarities. It was also the first time that we saw any kind of humanity in the character of Taker. Kane, through the mouthpiece of Bearer, constantly challenged his brother, and time and time again, The Deadman refused. This continued towards the Royal Rumble.
However, the week before the PPV, it seemed Kane had sided with his brother against DX. This brotherly alliance didn't last long. It was at the Royal Rumble that The Undertaker once again met HBK, this time in a Casket Match. It was towards the end of the match that Kane trapped his brother in the casket, costing him the match. However, it did not end there; Kane proceeded to padlock his brother inside the casket, and proceeded to set it on fire. However, when the casket was opened after the flames were extinguished, The Deadman was gone.
It was not until Wrestlemania 14 in Boston that Taker would return, in a match somewhat overshadowed by the participation of Mike Tyson in the main event, and also by the Tombstoning of Pete Rose by Kane.
Kane vs The Undertaker – Wrestlemania 14
The Undertaker would go to 7 and 0, but the feud would continue to Unforgiven: In Your House. Once again, Taker would participate in a first for the WWF; an Inferno Match. As many of you will know, the basics of the match are to set your opponent on fire to get the win. And that is what Taker would do, setting his brother's right arm on fire.
It was after this that one of the most famous periods of WWF history took place. Calaway renewed his feud with Mick Foley, and it was at King of the Ring 1997 that arguably, the most famous match of the Attitude Era took place. The second ever Hell in a Cell match, but this was so much different to the first.
Stepping away from the biography briefly, in my opinion, this is the match that really started to turn the tide slowly in the Monday night war. Everything about it defined what the Attitude era is about, and if you get a chance, watch the interview above, just because it gives a proper insight to how The Undertaker felt during this match.
Once he was past Mankind, The Undertaker took an unexpected turn, when he teamed up with Stone Cold Steve Austin to challenge for the WWF Tag Team Titles. Once again however, he would face Kane and Mankind, and again, he was victorious. For the first time in WWF, The Undertaker was a Tag Team champion. Although the title reign only lasted two months, the road was not over for Austin and Taker. Stone Cold had since regained the WWF Championship, and The Undertaker was the number one contender heading into that years Summerslam. It was revealed though shortly before the PPV that Kane and Taker were now working together as brothers. However, Taker told Kane to not interfere in the title match, and despite coming up short against Austin, he handed 3:16 his title at the end. It was soon after though that The Deadman started to show more villainous traits, and it was soon revealed that both Kane and The Undertaker were working on behalf of Mr. McMahon to take the title off Austin.
At Breakdown: In Your House, a Triple Threat match was set with Taker going up against Kane and Austin, with the stipulation of Kane and Undertaker not being able to pin each other. However, as both Kane and Taker pinned Austin at the same time, McMahon decided to vacate the title. McMahon decided to put the two brothers together in a match at Judgment Day to decide a new WWF Champion, with Stone Cold as Special Guest Referee. During the match, it appeared as though Paul Bearer handed Kane a steel chair, but as The Big Red Machine turned his back, Taker and Bearer hit him with a chair. Austin refused to count though, and declared a double count-out.
Finally the next night on Raw, The Undertaker turned heel officially for the first time in six years. He promised, alongside Paul Bearer, that they would unleash A Ministry of Darkness on the WWF.

German Verb Conjugations
werden (to become)
The verb werden conjugated in all its tenses
Also see: The Passive Voice in German
WERDEN > Present | Past | Future | Commands/Subjunctive | Verb List
Commands - Imperativ
|There are three command (imperative) forms, one for each "you" word. In addition, the "let's" form is used with wir.
|(du) werde!
|(ihr) werdet!
|werden Sie!
|werden wir!
|let's become/get
Subjunctive I - Konjunktiv I
|The subjunctive is a mood, not a tense. The Subjunctive I (Konjunktiv I) is based on the infinitive form of the verb. It is most often used to express indirect quotation (indirekte Rede).
|ich werde (würde)*
|I become
|du werdest
|you become
|er werde
sie werde
es werde
|he becomes
she becomes
it becomes
|*NOTE: Because the Subjunctive I (Konjunktiv I) of "werden" and some other verbs is sometimes identical to the indicative (normal) form, the Subjunctive II is sometimes substituted, as in the items marked.
|wir werden (würden)*
|we become
|ihr werdet
|you (guys) become
|sie werden (würden)*
|they become
|Sie werden (würden)*
|you become
Subjunctive II - Konjunktiv II
|The Subjunctive II (Konjunktiv II) expresses wishful thinking, contrary-to-reality situations and is used to express politeness. The Subjunctive II is based on the simple past tense (Imperfekt).

|I would become
|du würdest
|you would become
|er würde
sie würde
es würde
|he would become
she would become
it would become
|wir würden
|we would become
|ihr würdet
|you (guys) would become
|sie würden
|they would become
|Sie würden
|you would become
|NOTE: The Subjunctive form of "werden" is often used in combination with other verbs to form the conditional mood (Konditional). Here are several examples:
|Sie würden es kaufen
|you would buy it
|Was würden Sie tun?
|What would you do?
|ich würde nach Berlin (fahren)
|I would go to Berlin
|ich würde gerufen haben
|I would have called

|ich sei geworden
|I am said to have become
|ich wäre geworden
|I would have become
|sie wären geworden
|they would have become

Formalism and the Sources of International Law: Introduction
Jean d'Aspremont
University of Manchester - School of Law; University of Amsterdam
December 8, 2011
EXCERPT FROM FORMALISM AND INTERNATIONAL LAW - A THEORY OF THE ASCERTAINMENT OF LEGAL RULES, Oxford University Press, 2011
This paper constitutes the introduction of the monograph 'Formalism and the Sources of International Law - A Theory of the Ascertainment of Legal Rules' (OUP, 2011). It sketchs out the argument made in the book according to which, if sufficiently rejuvenated, formalism can still be a useful tool to ascertain international legal rules and distinguish law from non-law. To do so, formalism must be grounded in the (ever-evolving) social practice of international law-applying authorities to the extent that the latter can produce sufficient communitarian semantics for the sake of law-identification. The possibility of formal law-identification criteria however presupposes a move away from the mainstream theory of sources of international law as well as a broad conception of what constitutes 'a law-applying authority'. If so refreshed, a formal theory of sources can remain helpful in capturing the new forms of exercise of public authority at the international level.

The answer
April 27, 2014
It is very sad to read stories about people hurting others. Where does all this come from and what is the answer for our world today? The answer is the same as it has always been – Jesus....
The whole thing sounds like a setup. A rigged game, if you will. We are created evil by an all-knowing Creator, who then kills his only begotten son in order to "save" us from inherited sins. What kind of Creator would do that?
Why would an all-knowing, all-good entity start off creating sinful beings then punish them for being exactly what they were created to be - sinners? It's a whole setup.
The God that I have come to know and love wouldn't do such a thing...

"We are all born with a sinful nature because sin is passed down through fathers and we are all related to the first father Adam. God was the Father of Jesus and that is why he did not have the sin nature passed down to him although he was tempted in every way we are."
This paragraph almost seems to imply that Jesus was born from the Father. To be clear, Jesus has coexisted with the Father (and the Holy Spirit) eternally and they are coequal in nature and substance, divine. Jesus submitted himself to be obedient to the Father, as a relationship of a father telling a son what to do. Jesus has existed sinless and perfect forever, even when presented with the temptations of mankind when he also became fully man.
He was the perfect, sinless sacrifice for me and you. Put your faith and trust in him.

The large and impatient crowd – which includes a striking number of pretty, 20-something women – is enthusiastically waiting for its hero Rice to hit the stage.
"He is so hot," one concertgoer tells her girlfriends. "I hope we can get his attention."
"We should throw something on stage," replies one friend. (See Rice's thoughts about what, exactly, women should throw onstage in the video below.)
In his dressing room, Rice is pumped up. His single "Ready, Set, Roll" has recently gone gold and is still climbing the charts. He co-wrote "Cruise," the No. 1 smash by Florida Georgia Line. And now, finally, the crowds know who he is – and have come to see him.
"The audiences have been fantastic," he tells PEOPLE, sipping Jack and Coke from a blue Solo cup. "When they have a lot of energy, I have a lot of energy. We feed off each other. I love those seconds before I go onstage, because I know we're gonna have a good time."
But behind the party boy image, the 27-year-old has a serious side, which he explores on his new album, Ignite the Night.
"I'm a young kid who's having a good time on the road," he says. "But as much as I like to party, I've been through a lot of heartache. When I was 22, I lost my dad. He was really everything to me. I'll always carry his memory with me. So my new album has a lot of party songs, but it has some really serious parts to it, as well. It's a tribute to my dad."
The album was released Tuesday, which would have been his father's 64th birthday.
Relaxed and energetic, Rice sat with PEOPLE to talk about his career – and some of the surprising facts that people might not know about him.
His promising football career ended with injuryYes, the 6'3", 200-lb. Rice was once 40 pounds heavier when he was a linebacker for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. With dreams of playing in the NFL, Rice gave football everything he had.
"It was a fantastic experience," he says, "I learned a lot of lessons about myself: hard work, discipline … but then I tore a tendon in my ankle, to the outside of the Achilles tendon. I went through rehab and tried to come back, but I just wasn't the same player. Mentally, I was screwed. I knew that the NFL wasn't going to give me a shot, so it was time to move on."
He was on a NASCAR pit crewWith football behind him, Rice turned to another dream: being part of successful NASCAR team. He joined Hendrick Motorsports. He worked with NASCAR great Jimmie Johnson's Cup car, and the team won two championships.
"In many ways, it was a dream come true," says Rice. "I loved everything about it. There's something awesome about being at the track that I just can't explain. But I knew that my dream was to be a musician. I worked there for a few years, and then decided to follow another dream."
He was on a reality showSomething funny happened on the way to Nashville. Rice was approached to compete on Survivor in 2010. He spent 39 days playing the game in Nicaragua, finishing second.
"I appreciate every opportunity I have had," he says carefully. "And I don't want to be ungrateful for anything. But I also don't want to fight the perception that I'm just a reality star who did a TV show to further my singing career. I don't want it to close any doors. There are people who might not give me a listen because I was on a reality show. It was a good opportunity that came at a time that I was ready for it, but it was just one part of my life."
He is 100 percent single – but open to love"Right now, my career is my girlfriend," says Rice. "But that's not to say I wouldn't be open to a relationship with the right woman. I'm having fun, I'm young. But it won't always be this way. I'd love to find the right girl to marry and have kids." He pauses. "Just not right now."
"Everything has always happened in the right timing for me," he says. "I have had a ton of experiences that have been awesome and have made me who I am today. I wouldn't be here without all these things happening. So I can be patient to settle down. When it happens, it happens."

Re: AW: [xsl] Sorting Upper-Case first. Microsoft bug?

I apologize for yet another message on lexicographic sorting but in light of the considerable confusion exibited on this issue I'd like to see three points emphasised. 1. Lexicograpahic is important precisely because it is so well defined (and because of this I suspect the spec writers really meant it when the wrote it in. ) It provides an easy to check reference implementation that is 99% usable. 2. The notion of "lexicographic sorting" in the "culturally correct" manner is also valid, but it falls short of implementing all of UTR 10. The only "cultural choice" you have in a lexicograpahic sort is in deciding on a total order of the symbols of your alphabet. After that, everything else is determined. 3. Placing selected "words" out of lexicographic order (however well intended) clearly violates the lexicographic constraint of the spec and is in error as the spec is currently worded. As a follow on action, I'd like to see the spec writers clarify (in the spec) that they really do mean lexicographic, and perhaps augment the list of available sorts by a "pseudo-lexicographical" or "word" based sort in order to capture what actually got implemented and which is important for its own reasons but is much less well defined. Stan Devitt Markus Abt wrote: David, It seems to me that the XSLT specification wants lexicographic ordering in the culturally correct manner. Mabye this is a contradiction, in this case I would regard this an error in the XSLT spec. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list

I am sorry about your marriage situation. I am going through similar feelings. My husband thinks everything is just great. He has a sexy, vibrant wife and is getting it regularly. BUT as much as I love him and the life we have built together, I get more and more tired of his impatience, temper and his lack of willingness to make real changes that would make both of us happier. Yes, he pays lip service to changing his eating, but he doesn't make many moves. I know that it is hypocritical of me knowing my history, but that is the way I feel. I think there is just a lot of water under the bridge, times in our history when he has treated me badly. I guess I need to work on my lack of forgiveness.
For all of the above reasons, he is the one person that can send me into a binge even if I feel strong and have had a perfect day. I have to stop giving him that power.

In Reply.—This letter is in response to the letter you received from Dr Goldstein of the Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis. He wrote you regarding my article on "Isoenzyme Studies in Transient Hyperphosphatasemia of Infancy."1
Dr Goldstein's suggestion was that the marked elevation of alkaline phosphatase may be due to bone resorption and/or liver degeneration secondary to acute severe malnutrition. This seems to be a very unlikely explanation in view of the fact that of the children with this syndrome who have had bone x-ray films, no abnormalities have been noted. In addition, vitamin D studies, although not done very frequently, have yielded normal results. Likewise, in those patients who have had extensive studies of the liver, ie, ultrasound, no abnormalities have been noted. It would seem that if the cause for marked elevation of alkaline phosphatase was bone resorption and liver degeneration secondary to malnutrition, more

A look at all the non-league local football action.
Willington Quay4
SECOND division leaders Wooler gave first division Willington Quay a fright when the sides met in the second round of the George Dobson League Cup on Saturday.
The Glendale side gave their all and after normal time it was 3-3 with Tristan Jeffries, Craig Henderson and Luke Strangeways all finding the net for the visitors.
Two goals from Mark Henderson and another from Colin Bell took the game into extra-time, where unfortunately Wooler were unable to hold on and they went out of the competition to a strike from John Foggart.
This weekend Wooler return to league action with an Alliance second division game away to Blyth Isabella.
Bamburgh Castle5
Alnmouth Utd0
DURING a patchy first half performance home keeper Darren Edgell had to be at his best on two occasions when Alnmouth threatened but an early goal from Sam Aldred and a second from Gareth McCann calmed the home nerves.
In the second half Chris Dalton lobbed the keeper to get his first goal of the campaign, Johnny Johnson added another and Alex Mackay rounded things up with a tap-in for the fifth.
N Sunderland4
THE home team took a second minute lead but Shilbottle came back into the game and scored twice to lead at half time.
The second half was evenly matched five more goals scored to see the points shared at the final whistle.
For N Sunderland the scorers were Andrew Robertson with two, Dean Avery and Stephen Campbell. For Shilbottle, Stephen Hogg got two while Chris Chisholm and Kenny Collins also notched.
Robson Cup
Tweedmouth Harrow0
HARROW had plenty of possession during this game but never really threatened the Belford keeper.
After a goaless first half a Belford corner led to the club netting a through Ryan Lillico after 56 minutes.
On the hour mark Harrow were awarded a penalty but the spot kick was put wide of the goal and minutes later Scott Hunter made sure of the win when he finished off a mazy run by scoring Belford's second.
Boulmer FC3
Tweedmouth Rangers4
IN a closely contested game it was Craig Todd who gave Tweedmouth the lead but Boulmer hit back to lead at half time with goals from Stuart Sullivan and Mark Boyle.
In the second half Todd got his second and Keiran Cromarty netted to put the visitors ahead but Sullivan scored his second of the game to equalise for Boulmer.
Extra time looked likely but Craig Howard struck to win the game for Tweedmouth.
Tweedmouth Colts1
AS in the previous week Tweedmouth were unable to convert chances but this time it was down to bad luck and a few good saves from the goalkeeper.
Tweedmouth, as usual, started brightly playing some very attractive football and Jordan Clark went close and made the keeper pull off a good save.
A failure to clear their lines saw the Colts go 2-0 down against the run of play.
But this didn't deter the young Colts who continued to press but were met with a very stubborn and at times very fortunate Gordon rearguard.
As the half drew to a close Gordon broke away and put themselves three goals clear going into half time.
Throughout the second half Tweedmouth had the visiting goal under siege and they got a glimmer of hope when after a challenge on the keeper by Clark, Mark Purves was there to tap in.
For all the superb build up play Tweedmouth were unfortunate not to be able to capitalise on the amount of posession they had and although they had a couple of good penalty shouts it wasn't to be their day.
Special mention for young referee Gregor Thomson who handled the game superbly.

Durham City0
Lowick United4
LOWICK travelled to Durham after the disappointment of an early exit from this years FA Cup.
The game started with Durham almost scoring within the first two minutes but that proved to be the last strke of any note on the Lowick goal for the rest of the first half as the away side dominated.
Half time came and the game was still 0-0 but in the second half Lowick deservedly took the lead through Jodie Robinson, who beat the keeper from 30 yards.
Anna Darcy then drove the ball into the net from six yards to put Lowick 2-0 up and it was obvious from this stage that they were starting to take control and Durham were struggling.
Lowick then made their first change when Steph Hay made way for Laura Rowan and the shake-up worked because minutes later Libby Scott came on for the injured Michelle Stewart.
Both the replacements got into the game straight away and both had chances.
Libby had a double strike well saved and Laura was already celebrating when her strike hit both posts and came back out to the Durham keeper.
Darcy notched her second before Jodine Bolton got her name on the scoresheet when she scored from one of the many Lowick corners.
YOUTHS: Tweedmouth 2, Musselburgh Windsor 3 -
Tweedmouth Juniors travelled to Musselburgh on Saturday to face league leaders and in-form Musselburgh Windsor in what was expected to be a great match.
It was early as the fifth minute when Musselburgh got off to the perfect start. A corner came in from the right hand side and was met by Windsor's centre half after goalkeeper Robertson misjudged the flight of the cross.
This early goal spurred on Tweedmouth as they took control of possession early on. Their first real chance came from Dylan Patterson when he found himself one on one but the opposing goalkeeper got down to save well. Luke Dickson almost got his name on the score sheet after he hit a sweet dipping volley which narrowly went wide.
Tweedmouth's equaliser came in the 21st minute when Daniel Tindle was on hand to head the ball home. This came from an absolute beauty of a strike from skipper Luke Dickson who smashed the underside of the crossbar and bounced out to find Tindle free of his marker to score a deserved equaliser.
The second half started much the same as the first; both teams getting the ball down and playing true football on a great 3G surface. Chances were few and far between for either side but when they did; it was Tweedmouth who took the first of theirs. After a great run down the right hand side, Grant Sharp crossed to find unmarked man of the match Shane Macgregor, whose header deceived the goalkeeper and went into the far corner of the net.
But Musselburgh piled on the pressure and a questionable decision was made in the build-up to Musselburgh's equaliser where the ball appeared to come off the head of Bowell and out for a corner. The corner was fired into the back post where Jack McIntyrs header was handled on the line by Grant Sharpe.. Sharp conceded a penalty but was lucky to escape with a ywllow card.. Kieran McHarg sent Tweedmouth keeper Robertson the wrong way to make it 2-2 with ten minutes remaining. Just three minutes later Musselburgh grabbed the winner. A sloppy foul was given away which resulted in a free kick out wide for the home side. Jack Thomson, curled his effort towards goal and managed to find the back of the net to put them 3-2 up.

When former New York Mayor Edward I. Koch died Feb. 1, the inevitable accolades flowed.
He was the "quintessential New Yorker," the "fighting mayor" and a guy who "told it like it was."
All true. But a new film directed by former Wall Street Journal reporter Neil Barsky puts it all in context. Nothing could be more timely than this documentary, which traces the life of the Big Town's 105th mayor, debuting just three weeks after his death at age 88.
"Koch" evokes a flood of memories of the era when the Bronx native ruled over the nation's premier city from 1978 to 1989. Those years marked a resurgence for New York City from the days of crime and graffiti into a golden era when Wall Street and big business ruled.
But it took work. Only a year before his election, under former Mayor Abe Beam, the city declared bankruptcy. And a famous Daily News headline – "Ford to City: Drop Dead" – summarized where it ranked on the national scale of priorities.
So Koch, then a liberal Democratic congressman from Manhattan, suddenly appeared on the scene. He was colorful, plain-spoken, chock-full of ideas and seemed ready for the times. New York City bought into his charm from a field of seven candidates, and a significant era in the long history of the city had begun.
The film can also be labeled "quintessentially New York" because it rounds up all the major players and issues of the day into a smooth package. We see former State Sen. and Comptroller H. Carl McCall, Village Voice reporter Wayne Barrett, the Rev. Calvin O. Butts III and a host of former staffers who recall key crises and issues of the day. And the issues were major league – just like New York City itself – AIDS, homelessness, a transit strike and bankruptcy.
While the issues of the day rank as important elements of this film, Koch the man elevates the film into something really special. Koch succeeded by sheer force of his personality. When the transit union paralyzed the city by going on strike in 1980, Koch rallied pedestrians on the Brooklyn Bridge. "We won't let these bastards bring us to our knees," he blared over a bullhorn.
And it explores the thorny question – officially unanswered to this day – over whether the bachelor mayor was gay. Though he often squired former Miss America Bess Myerson (some said as a ruse), the question became relevant when he was severely criticized for failing to decisively act on the AIDS epidemic of the day. The haunting images of those who were sick and dying bring home the gravity of the situation.
And it should not be overlooked that Koch was never viewed as a friend of minorities. McCall, who would later be the state's first black candidate for governor in 2002, called his rejection of a campaign promise to preserve a Harlem hospital as a "real betrayal."
Koch was ready with his own view. "You think I should give in to symbolism? They didn't close it out of fear of the black community?" Koch recalled in a recent interview. "I said: That's no way to be mayor."
The film is engrossing, captivating and informative as a reflection of the times.
From this view, it would have earned four stars if only it had bothered to devote more than a passing glance to Koch's ill-fated run for governor in 1982. That's when he asked why anyone would want to live upstate. He wondered about upstate residents "wasting time in a pickup truck when you have to drive 20 miles to buy a gingham dress or a Sears Roebuck suit."
It cost him the Executive Mansion. But the filmmakers apparently learned little from his loss of upstate and the chance to be governor with its NYC-centric point of view.
But it's still well worth the time of any student of politics and those who love everything about New York City. And Koch remains one of those "characters" who make politics interesting, and who will always prove part of Big Apple lore.
"Howm' I doin'?" Koch used to ask his constituents.
After viewing Barsky's film, just about everyone will agree he's still doing just fine.
3 stars
Director: Neil Barsky
Running time: 95 minutes
Rating: No rating, but PG-13 equivalent for rough language.

Mutations in the Artemis protein in humans result in hypersensitivity to DNA double-strand break-inducing agents and absence of B and T lymphocytes (radiosensitive severe combined immune deficiency [RS-SCID]). Here, we report that Artemis forms a complex with the 469 kDa DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) in the absence of DNA. The purified Artemis protein alone possesses single-strand-specific 5' to 3' exonuclease activity. Upon complex formation, DNA-PKcs phosphorylates Artemis, and Artemis acquires endonucleolytic activity on 5' and 3' overhangs, as well as hairpins. Finally, the Artemis:DNA-PKcs complex can open hairpins generated by the RAG complex. Thus, DNA-PKcs regulates Artemis by both phosphorylation and complex formation to permit enzymatic activities that are critical for the hairpin-opening step of V(D)J recombination and for the 5' and 3' overhang processing in nonhomologous DNA end joining.

Fueled by her one-hole playoff victory over Seo-Jae Lee, Suh trimmed precious minutes from her hours-long drive home to Fairfax, Va. If law enforcement officials lurked along the way, Suh successfully eluded them.
"I drove really fast," she said Thursday in a mock whisper, "and got home at midnight. My whole family was waiting for me – my brother, mom and dad. I ran in the house with the plastic check and we all started dancing around. It was a lot of fun."
Suh's return to Drumlins Country Club evoked fond memories for the Duramed Futures Tour player. Her win last year propelled her from No. 56 on the money list to No. 15. As she toured the golf course this week, she recalled how she played certain shots to each hole and reaffirmed to herself how magical that weekend was.
"I've gained some distance since last year but my wedges were really good that week," she said. "Every shot was within 6 feet. All of them were very makeable putts. But the greens out here are not easy. Yesterday I played my first practice round and I was like, 'Wow. How did I make so many putts out here?' I was 'on' last year. It's all about putting. Any tournament is all about putting."
Suh enters this weekend's tournament, which begins this morning at Drumlins and concludes on Sunday, in almost the same position on the money list as last year. She's won $7,954 this summer and sits in 55th place on the money list.
Suh, who turns 25 next month, said her game feels better this season. She's added distance off the tee. Her swing seems solid.
But Suh cites the quality of competition as a factor in her performances. Last season, Permilla Lindberg's average score of 70.871 topped the Futures Tour. This year, Cindy LaCrosse leads the Futures Tour with a 69.774 scoring average. That's a difference of about a stroke per round. Two Futures Tour players tied for 10th in scoring average at 72 last summer. This year, Nontaya Srisawang and her average score of 71 is 10th on the scoring list.
"The competition out here has just gotten amazing," Suh said. "Now, even-par doesn't get you anything. You need to be breaking par consistently and putting together a lot of good rounds to be making it out here."
Suh, a University of Alabama graduate with a degree in communications, said the improved level of competition forces players to banish thoughts of conservative play. Contending for a title, she said, means attacking the golf course.
"You have to be more aggressive out here. One little mental slip-up can cost you the tournament," she said. "You need to walk away and even if you didn't win, say 'Well, I went at everything. I wasn't a wuss on any shot.' Just confident. It's one thing to go at everything. You need to go at it with confidence."
Suh has mentally replayed last year's Alliance Bank tournament. She has tended, she said, to start seasons slowly, to gradually reach a point where she feels good enough about her game to believe she can win.
Last week, she went home for a day and visited her swing coach. That same coach, Kirk Lucas, spent days before last year's Syracuse stop reshaping Suh's swing. This time, Suh wanted to concentrate specifically on her short game. She'd grown frustrated with her inability to pitch the ball close to the pin.
The two worked out a strategy and now Suh finds herself here, in Syracuse, hoping the alteration will again alter the course of her season.
"Last year I was really struggling making some cuts and struggling with some swing changes," Suh said. "I went to see my coach to fix things and he would always tell me, 'It's a slow progression.' And it's like everything came together in that one week. Bad shots – I'd look up and they'd still be going toward the target. I think of it now and I still get the goosebumps at how good I was playing.
"But that's all it takes to turn your season around," she said. "Just one good week – you string together three good rounds and that's all it takes."

RANGOON — It has no place on official maps, but parts of Myanmar fall within a geographical zone described by some Southeast Asia scholars as Zomia. Stretching across a massive area of Asia, Zomia is considered to be the biggest area in the world that still remains beyond the grasp of traditional nation-states or governments. In Myanmar, this includes the peripheral territories inhabited by ethnic groups that have fought armed conflicts against the central government for decades.
American political scientist James C. Scott sparked debate in his anthropological study "The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia" (2009), which contends that the highland people of Zomia were not left behind, but rather consciously chose to avoid the modern state. The award-winning author and Yale University professor spoke with The Irrawaddy's Samantha Michaels after a recent visit to Myanmar, also known as Burma.
Question: You argue that hill tribes in Southeast Asia have chosen to live beyond the reach of state-making projects such as taxation, forced labor and war. Can you briefly explain this theory in the context of Myanmar's history?
Answer: Many ethnic groups that came to northern Burma over the last 2,000 years fled up the Yangtze River watershed to move away from the expansive Chinese state, and some from Thai and Burmese states, which were all slave-taking states. The hills were not strongly populated 500 or 600 years ago, but they became more populated as the big states expanded and people moved away from slave raids.
Q: How would you describe the state-making strategies of President U Thein Sein's administration, compared with those of the former junta? Has the reform process strengthened the Myanmar state?
A: The Burmese state is still incredibly weak. If you think of infrastructural power—the ability to collect taxes, to know the land-holding situation, to have complete lists of population and property holdings, to have a police presence everywhere—you're not talking about the Burmese government. You could argue—I'm not sure I want to, but at least it's worth considering—that the government is less coherent now than it might have been 10 years ago. It has "all thumbs and no fingers," meaning it has crude military power but not the fine-tuning power of a successful administrative state.
My guess is that the president and his closest cooperatives have bought room to make small compromises with the rest of the military, given the military's interest in controlling the economy, by allowing regional military commanders to more or less have a free hand in seizing land and enterprises. They've turned a blind eye toward corruption and land seizures in the regions. It's the condition, I suppose, of the little democratic opening we have now in Burma, but it's a kind of feudalism, it makes the government more fragmented. I think if the government were to seriously address the land seizures, it would find itself with a military revolt.
Q: Myanmar's census this year—the country's first census in over 30 years—was highly controversial, especially among ethnic minorities who accused the government of incorrectly classifying them. What was your take on the situation?
A: The census in 1931 also identified ethnic groups, but on the basis of the "language spoken to the cradle," that is to say, the
language the mother spoke to her children in the cradle. The director of that census, a good little bureaucrat, did his job, but at the end he said it was crazy because people in Burma change their language as often as we change our clothes. Of course that's not literally true, but the fact is that people in the hills speak two, three, four, sometimes five languages, and each language is useful in a particular situation. They have a portfolio of potential identities they can display. The point is that a census gives false solidity to identities that are extremely flexible. Decisions about classifying ethnic groups are political.
Q: Would it make sense for Myanmar to conduct a census without classifying ethnic groups?
A: It would be politically impossible in the sense that any kind of federalism that would be created in Burma would take account of some conception of cultural groups. [It would] require administrative units coinciding roughly with major cultural divisions. I'm not against the census, I might add, I just want to point out how political it is.… It's a [state] capacity. It's not morally bad or good, it depends how it's used.
Q: On your recent visit to Myanmar, you gave talks at the Yangon School of Political Science and Pansodan Gallery. What else did you do?
A: I went to Pathein and spent three weeks working with a tutor every day, all day, on Burmese language skills. Then I went to the literary festival in Mandalay—Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and a whole series of poets were there. I also spent a couple days in the deep delta. I'm deeply interested in the Ayeyarwady River—I'm sort of a canoeist here.
Q: Are you working on any projects in Myanmar now?
A: There was something called the Bulletin of Burma Research that was started in 1905 by colonial civil servants. Anthropologists, linguists and historians met every month and read papers to each other, a number of Burmese became involved later, and it became the central place for Burmese studies locally. It was closed by the military government in 1979. Now we would like to restart an academic journal that would be controversial and open to amateurs as well as professional scholars. We [Mr. Scott and U Tun Myint, a Myanmar political scientist in the United States] have the money to begin this.
Q: How are your Myanmar language studies coming along?
A: I've been studying for about six or seven years but only a month and a half every year. I've learned a lot of different languages in my life, and Burmese is the hardest. I think you shouldn't study a country unless you're willing to learn the language, because you learn a lot by understanding how the language works, why certain turns of phrases are important. It's a mark of cultural respect. I have trouble following closely when a lot of Burmese people speak at the same time—I get the drift but it's difficult—and that's the kind of thing that you only develop by working within the country and having the language in your ear all the time.
This interview first appeared in the July 2014 issue of The Irrawaddy magazine.
Well Sir James George Scott or Shway Yoe, who wrote The Burman, one of my favourite books, was quite fluent in Burmese. I'm not so sure how well George Orwell (Eric Blair) understood Burmese.
When working in Vietnam and travelling in Northern Lao I sometimes had the feeling the life style of most people there might be in many ways similar to that of Amazonian tribes in Brazil, an other part of "Zomia" where I han not been at the time.
What Scott says about minorities in Burma could also be said of mountain people in Lao (H'mong) or Vietnam (Tai,Mong, Muong etc)
Burmese or Bama Elite class and regime are reluctant to develop the country is just to prolong holding power and make money.
Fascinating but frustratingly short. So many more questions that could have been asked a quite a few that didn't need to be.

Oracle Fires Another Shot Over Red Hat's Bow
Oracle announced today that it had bought Ksplice Inc., the company behind the software that allows a rebootless kernel change. This exciting technology was welcomed by the Linux community and was even provided free of cost to Fedora users. Knowing Oracle's track record, this will undoubtedly cause worry throughout the community.
Oracle isn't planning on shutting this one down, although the ksplice.com blogs are currently down, but is planning on using it to offer zero downtime guarantees. In fact, the very wording of their press release almost comes out and states that this technology willl no longer be available to other distribution makers.

The Demise of the Right-Privilege Distinction in Constitutional Law
William W. Van Alstyne
Duke University School of Law; William & Mary Law School
Harvard Law Review, Vol. 81, p. 1439, 1968
William & Mary Law School Research Paper No. 09-136
The right-privilege distinction, as it appeared in an early statement by Justice Holmes, has long hampered individuals within the public sector in protecting themselves against arbitrary governmental action. In this article Professor Van Alstyne reviews the uses and misuses to which the "privilege" concept has been put and then examines those doctrines whose flanking attacks have gradually eroded its efficacy. But none of these doctrines comes to grips with Holmes' basic idea of a "privilege" to which substantive due process is inapplicable. Applying Holmes' own jurisprudence, the author argues that the concept of "privilege" is today no longer viable, and that the size and power of the governmental role in the public sector requires substantive due process control of the state in all its capacities.

One of the best ways to make a lot of money in stocks is to invest in dividend-paying stocks. After all, a company that is able to commit to regularly rewarding its shareholders with a payout of cash is a company that's relatively stable, with a sufficiently predictable profit stream. There are pitfalls within the world of dividend investing, though. Here are some tips to help you avoid common blunders.
Don't overshoot
It's easy to be drawn to sky-high dividend yields. Who wouldn't favor a 10% yield over a 3% one, after all? Plenty of 10% yields are solid, but plenty are tied to companies on shaky ground. The best explanation for that is math: A dividend yield is simply a ratio, dividing a stock's annual dividend payout by its current stock price, and then expressing that result as a percentage. Thus, if the stock price falls sharply, you'll be dividing the dividend by a smaller number, and the yield will be bigger. Huge dividend yields are sometimes due to a company simply having a lot of excess cash to distribute, but sometimes they reflect a company in temporary or permanent trouble that has seen its price plunge.
A good dividend investor needs to remember that dividend amounts are not set in stone. Companies do try hard to not reduce or eliminate them, but that happens sometimes. Recently, for example, both Atlantic Power (NYSE: AT ) and Exelon (NYSE: EXC ) reduced their dividends -- by 65% and 40%, respectively. Atlantic had been yielding 10%, and Exelon 6.8%. Atlantic still sports a hefty yield, but that's because its stock has fallen some 62% over the past three months amid poor results and worries over lawsuits. Exelon, a nuclear-power specialist, is viewed more favorably, and has been investing in renewable energy, as well. Still, some think it could be a while before its also-depressed stock turns around.
Pay attention to payout ratios
It's smart to examine a company's payout ratio, too. That measures the percentage of its earnings that it's paying out in dividends. Clearly, a company paying out more than 100% of its earnings for a protracted period is not in a sustainable situation. Telecom company Windstream (NASDAQ: WIN ) , for example, sports a fetching dividend yield above 11%, but its actual annual dividend of $1.00 annually is worrisome, given its trailing 12 months of earnings per share of just $0.28. Sure, earnings can rise and make this less worrisome, but it's definitely a red flag worth considering. Bulls are hopeful about its acquisitions, but it also carries a lot of debt.
Seek dividend growth
Another important thing a good dividend investor does is to factor in dividend growth along with dividend size. If you're looking at two companies, each with a 3% dividend yield, but one has been growing its payout by 10% annually, while the other has averaged just 2%, it's clear that one is more attractive. You don't always have to choose one or the other, though. Australia-based oil, gas, and mining giant BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP ) , for example, recently yielded a solid 3.6% and sported a five-year average dividend growth rate of 14.5%. The company has a new CEO intent on cutting costs and boosting productivity, and he's even cutting his own salary. Corning (NYSE: GLW ) , meanwhile, recently yielded 2.8% and sports a five-year average dividend growth rate of 14.9%. Its stock just jumped on a solid earnings report, featuring moderating LCD glass price declines, and growth in its Gorilla Glass.
Choose high-quality companies
It's also vital to focus on high-quality companies, if you want to be able to sleep at night as a dividend investor. Remember that big and boring companies can do wonders to your portfolio with their dividends, especially if they're steadily growing and aren't overtaking earnings. Look for companies that feature businesses you understand, competitive strengths (such as a strong brand or economies of scale), solid growth prospects, and a healthy balance sheet, among other things. Perhaps even seek out the most promising companies you can find first -- and then check out their dividends.
Be patient
Finally, don't be in a rush. Dividends growing at 10% or 20% annually are a beautiful thing, but they won't deliver riches in their first few years. Aim to hold on for many years, as long as the companies remain promising and healthy and growing. A dividend investor who's doing it right will simply have a stable of solid dividend stocks paying you cash quarter after quarter, year after year -- in increasing amounts. (That said, do not hold forever if a company starts seeming shaky.)
With the explosive growth of smartphones worldwide, many investors thought they would ride Corning's dominant cover glass to massive investment returns. That hasn't played out yet, as mobile growth has failed to offset declines in the company's core business.

I'm not sure what recent film announcement it was that triggered Cinematical Editor-in-Chief Erik Davis to note that there seemed to be a growing number of movies about aliens getting the green light from Hollywood, but until he asked me to make a guide compiling them all together, I hadn't quite taken note of the trend. But now that I have assembled the whole batch in one place, it's pretty clear that Hollywood has been sitting on a fear that our little blue planet is going to be overtaken by little green men. I guess making a bunch of movies about the hypothetical is the only catharsis they can get.
That, or, and this is the more likely scenario, alien invasions are always a great excuse to blow things up and film it. I just hope one of the below films does contain a UFO dishing out a bigger blast than the one that topples NYC in Independence Day. I think such a sight has been a long time overdue.
Anyways, I present to you Cinematical's Complete Guide to Upcoming Alien Invasion Movies.
Note: These are listed in chronological order, but I wouldn't bank on some of the later films sticking too tightly to their announced release dates.
Who is behind it: First time filmmaker Gareth Edwards
Who is in it:Scoot McNairy, Whitney Able
What's it about: Six years after a crashed NASA space probe introduced an alien life form to the world, a man must escort his bosses daughter through the infected zone before they're stuck in Mexico.
When's it coming out: October 29, 2010
Why it might be awesome: Combing guerrilla-style indie filmmaking with the giant monster movie genre is bound to make for a unique film.
Why it might suck: Having seen Monsters, I'd say there is no "might suck" and that is actually awesome, but playing Devil's advocate, Edwards' film may be a little too slow, a little too intimate of a story than what most people want out of a movie called Monsters.
Who is behind it:Colin Strause and Greg Strause (AVP:R) from a screenplay by Joshua Cordes
Who is in it:Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Brittany Daniel, David Zayas
What's it about: From Moviefone: "In the sci-fi thriller Skyline, strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth."
When's it coming out: November 11, 2010
Why it might be awesome: I am completely game for any sci-fi plot description that contains the phrase "drawing people outside like moths to a flame." It's also got a pretty interesting cast that may help solidify this as a very cool B-movie.
Why it might suck: The Strause brothers also made the dismal Alien vs Predator: Requiem, so their track record with extraterrestrials isn't too hot, so this may be all eye candy and little else.
I Am Number Four
Who is behind it:D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye, Disturbia) is directing from a script by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (Smallville) based on the yet-to-be-published novel by James Frey and Jobie Hughes.
Who is in it:Alex Pettyfer, Timothy Olyphant, Kevin Durand, Dianna Agron, Teresa Palmer
What's it about: A group of nine aliens are hiding out on Earth, trying to live normal lives as teenagers lest the evil rival aliens that attacked their home world find them. Of course, eventually their covers are blown.
When's it coming out: February 18, 2011
Why it might be awesome: All of the aliens have "extraordinary, paranormal skills," so if the writers are creative enough this could definitely be a welcome alternative to a glut of increasingly familiar superhero movies. Plus, it's got Kevin Durand in it, who can improve almost anything.
Why it might suck: The "teenagers who are aliens" plot sounds like the kind of lame book you'd read in middle school. In its defense, the young-adult demographic is exactly who this movie is for, but hopefully it will be on the more mature side of that target audience.
Battle: Los Angeles
Who is behind it:Jonathan Liebesman (The Killing Room, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) from a screenplay by Christopher Bertolini (The General's Daughter)
Who is in it:Aaron Eckhart, Bridget Moynahan
What's it about: Marines fighting off aliens trying to invade LA.
When's it coming out: March 11, 2011
Why it might be awesome: The title and premise would imply a big emphasis on actually fighting off the aliens, so it should be pretty packed with spectacle.
Why it might suck: Sony have been very coy about releasing any significant images from the film and Jonathan Liebesman hasn't made a film of this kind of scale yet.
Who is behind it:Greg Mottola (Superbad) directs a script by Nick Frost and Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead)
Who is in it:Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig
What's it about: Two British comic book geeks find an alien outside of Area 51.
When's it coming out: March 18, 2011
Why it might be awesome: Just look at everyone who is involved.
Why it might suck: The premise of finding, befriending and then protecting a cute alien has been done a number of times over, so it may be tough to make it seem entirely fresh.
The Thing
Who is behind it:Matthijs Van Heijningen Jr. is directing a script first written by Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica) and rewritten by Eric Heisserer (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010)
Who is in it:Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton
What's it about: It's technically a prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing, this time telling the story of what happens to the Norwegian camp of scientists who first discover an alien frozen in the Antarctic.
When's it coming out: April 29, 2011
Why it might be awesome: I love that they're making this a prequel and not a direct remake. There certainly is more of the story to be told (whether it needs to be told is a different matter entirely).
Why it might suck: This is Van Heijningen Jr.'s first feature film and the man brought in to rework Ron Moore's original script doesn't inspire too much confidence considering his last attempt to update classic '80s horror pissed off a lot of people.
Cowboys & Aliens
Who is behind it: Jon Favreau (Iron Man 1 & 2, Zathura) is directing from a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci (Star Trek, Transformers) and Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby (Iron Man, Children of Men)
Who is in it:Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano
What's it about: Exactly what the title says. Set in the 1800s, a group of gunslingers try to fend of an alien spaceship trying to enslave the human race.
When's it coming out: July 29, 2011
Why it might be awesome: Favreau has completely proven himself as a blockbuster filmmaker, it's got a very interesting cast, and it's freakin' cowboys fighting aliens.
Why it might suck: Hollywood mixing future tech with the 1800s hasn't exactly worked out too well thus far and no one wants to see another Wild Wild West or Jonah Hex. It's also based off a comic book that very few people have ever actually read.
The Darkest Hour
(Sorry, no images are available)
(Sorry, no images are available)
Who is behind it:Chris Gorak (Right At Your Door) is directing a screenplay by Jon Spaihts (the upcoming Alien prequel), Timur Bekmambetov is producing
Who is in it: Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Rachel Taylor, Max Minghella
What's it about: Details are vague, we just know it's about a group of kids in Russia trying to survive an alien invasion.
When's it coming out: August 5, 2011
Why it might be awesome: A really promising cast, a director who can crank up the intensity on small, action-less moments, and a setting you don't often see in movies of this ilk (The Darkest Hour actually had to shut down production for a while because of the fires raging outside of Moscow).
Why it might suck: Given how little has been released about this film, I actually can't think of any real evidence it might suck.
Super 8
Who is behind it:J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg
Who is in it: We don't know.
What's it about: We don't know. The only reason I'm even including it on this list is because the teaser trailer implies non-humans are involved and the viral marketing thus far has featured a number of ties to the US space program.
When's it coming out: 2011
Why it might be awesome: It's Abrams making a tribute film to the Amblin days of Spielberg.
Why it might suck: Abrams is bound to make a stinker some day, right?
Iron Sky
Who is behind it: This has been Timo Vuorensola's passion project for years.
Who is in it: Udo Kier
What's it about: The Nazis secretly colonized the dark side of the moon in 1945. In 2018 they will return.
When's it coming out: 2011
Why it might be awesome: Nazis in space. Case closed.
Why it might suck: Iron Sky has been a fan film passion for years, so if it does ever actually get made as a feature film, it may never be able to escape the lower end production qualities often found in fan films.
(Star Wars Battleship is kind of like Battleship with aliens...)
Who is behind it:Peter Berg (Hancock, The Kingdom) is directing, Erich and Jon Hoeber are writing
Who is in it:Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, Tom Arnold, Tadanobu Asano
What's it about: "A small fleet of naval ships against an alien force intent on enriching Earth's valuable assets to ensure their survival."
When's it coming out: May 18, 2012
Why it might be awesome: If you're going to make a movie adaptation of the Milton Bradley game Battleship, you might as well make it with an over-the-top premise and a bizarre cast.
Why it might suck: It's a freaking adaptation of a board game where all you do is guess a combination of numbers and letters.
Men in Black 3D
Who is behind it:Barry Sonnenfeld (MIB 1 & 2) is directing a screenplay written by Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder) and David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Spider-Man)
Who is in it:Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Jemaine Clement
What's it about: The third adventure of two agents of a secret government agency tasked with policing all of the different aliens currently living on Earth. The script is said to involve time travel this time around.
When's it coming out: May 25, 2012
Why it might be awesome: I don't think anyone was dying for a third MIB after the disappointing second entry, but it will still be great to Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones playing off each other after all these years. Plus, Rick Baker is back, so at the very least we should once again see some really cool practical make-up effects.
Why it might suck:Men in Black 2 proved that the well of kooky aliens can run dry, so a third trip may be pretty dry.

Integrative Medicine and Cancer
Rethinking the Medical Model
Mind-Body Medicine for Cancer
Cancer is one of the most feared words in the English language. A word that, as one cancer patient put it, is thought of by everybody in "capital letters."
"There are an enormous amount of reactions and emotions associated with having cancer," says Timothy C. Birdsall, ND, vice president of integrative medicine at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, Ill. "And many people are uncomfortable dealing with those emotions."
Because a growing body of research has shown that our mind has a powerful effect on our body, it's important to find an appropriate way to "access those emotions, release them, and reap the positive benefits on the immune system," says Birdsall.
That's the theory behind mind-body medicine and an increasingly important part of cancer treatment. Mind-body specialists, however, are quick to point out that mind-body medicine does not guarantee a cure. But it can affect what happens in your body, says Katherine Puckett, LCSW, director of the department of mind-body medicine at Cancer Treatment Centers of America's Midwestern Regional Medical Center.
"Using mind-body techniques can enhance your quality of life and may extend your longevity," says Puckett. "Having less pain, being more comfortable, that's a huge thing."
Treating the Effects of Chemo
Cancer patients face many challenges, says Dan Johnston, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral science for Mercer University School of Medicine in Macon, Ga. One of them is coping with the stress of treatment. "Whenever we are under stress," says Johnston, "our bodies react with tense muscles, a rapid heart rate, elevated blood pressure, fast breathing, and a tight belly. We also feel tense, apprehensive, irritated, or frustrated."
When facing new treatment procedures, such as chemotherapy and radiation, stress levels may rise and can then aggravate some of the potential side effects of treatment such as nausea, fatigue, and low energy, says Johnston. "If, however, you approach your treatment procedure in a relaxed state of body and mind, you will lessen the likelihood of such side effects. You will create a sense of control over your situation and your emotional state will be more peaceful."
