Large primary cutaneous melanomas convey an ominous risk of metastases. The finding of large-scale melanomas without regional or distant metastases suggests a less aggressive biology for this type of tumor.
A man in his 60s presented with a 2-year history of a bleeding mass on his left thigh. Examination revealed a 6.0 × 8.2-cm fungating tumor with a 4-mm palpable left inguinal node. The patient underwent wide excision with clear margins. Histologic examination of the excision revealed an expansile proliferation of epithelioid neoplastic cells with abundant cytoplasm and prominent nucleoli. The tumor extended into the subcutaneous tissue to a depth of 6 cm. The tumor cells were positive for Mart-1 and S-100 immunostains. An in situ component and ulceration were identified. Five mitoses/mm2 were identified, and there was no evidence of lymphovascular invasion. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the enlarged lymph node identified no malignant cells. One sentinel lymph node in the left inguinal region was negative for metastasis, and whole-body positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan showed no evidence for metastatic disease. He declined chemotherapy and was disease free at last follow-up, 4 years after diagnosis.
A man in his 60s presented with a 1-year history of an 8 × 7-cm tumor on his left back associated with fever and left axillary lymphadenopathy (Figure). Histologic sections of the surgical resection revealed a nodular proliferation of atypical and epithelioid melanocytes that extended into the reticular dermis to a depth of 2.4 cm. Sixteen mitoses/mm2 were identified, and the margins were negative. Two sentinel lymph nodes in the left axilla were negative for metastasis by S-100 and Mart-1 immunostains. A chest, abdomen, and pelvis CT scan and subsequent whole-body PET scan were negative for metastatic disease. The patient died 4 months after diagnosis due to chronic cardiac disease.
An 8 × 7-cm erythematous eroded mass was noted on the back of patient 2.
Cases of giant primary melanoma, defined as lesions at least 10 cm in diameter1 or 48 mm in thickness,2 are almost exclusively associated with extensive metastatic disease.1 To our knowledge, only 2 other cases of giant primary melanoma without extensive metastasis have been described in the literature.3,4
Studies have illustrated that certain primary melanoma subtypes are associated with favorable prognostic outcomes. Desmoplastic melanoma is a rare variant with variable presentation that is marked histologically by fusiform melanocytes in a sclerotic stroma.5 Investigators have found that patients with pure desmoplastic melanoma (desmoplasia found throughout the tumor) have a more advanced Breslow depth and less regional metastasis than patients with conventional melanoma.5 Primary dermal melanoma, a more recently described variant that is confined to the dermis and may histologically resemble cutaneous metastasis, also appears to have improved survival compared with metastatic melanoma or primary nodular melanoma of equal Breslow thickness.6
These cases challenge the current belief that large primary cutaneous melanoma of long duration connotes extensive metastatic disease and/or rapid death. Although our conclusions are somewhat limited by the inability to assess long-term outcomes in patient 2, both patients reported a prolonged duration of symptoms and had negative findings on metastatic workup, suggesting a less aggressive biology for these tumors. With the discovery of various genetic mutations in primary melanomas, there has been a recent movement to reclassify melanoma subtypes based on genetic profile, which may predict pathologic behavior and therefore outcome more accurately than histopathologic features. We propose that these cases may represent a distinct genetic subtype of giant melanoma that, while locally aggressive, lacks propensity for metastasis.

Joan Benson-Cacchione: Giving up Mom's key
It was such a small step.
But the thought of closing down my late mother's post office box last month seemed so sad, so final. It felt like escorting her over that one last line into oblivion.
I had grown used to my pretense: Mom and some last real-time connection to her contained in that little space; me on the outside, every few days, peering in.
It had been weeks since the last bits of mail had dribbled in. One was a plea from a local charity, the other a catalog of knickknacks and kitschy clothing.
Had my mother been there with me on those days, she'd have been in a festive mood, out on loan from the assisted-living facility. She'd have dashed off a check to the charity for 10 or 20 bucks, then ordered up a pair of elastic-waist pants from the catalog.
"Why not?!" she'd have said, signing her checks with a flourish. She so relished her independence, the modest commerce she was still able to conduct -- and her ability to carry on, financially and otherwise -- after my father died.
But her checkbook now sits idle, entombed in a plastic bin that holds her paperwork. Her bills have long since been paid, accounts closed, her final tax return filed this spring with a copy of her death certificate.
The lawyer and the accountant had both said that I didn't need the box anymore. So, last month, when the box rent came due again, 11 months to the day after she died, it was time.
I checked the box one last time. Empty.
I walked to the counter, worked the little key off my keychain and handed it to the clerk. He pushed a $5 bill toward me.
"Your key deposit," he reminded me. "Let us know if there's ever anything else we can do for you," he said with a smile.
"OK," I said, and shoved the bill into my pocket.
Right then, though, something welled up from deep inside and urged me to take him up on the offer. I heard myself mumble, "This is kind of sad."
But the clerk had already turned his attention to the next person in line. So I turned away, too, embarrassed as I did my best to squelch the sudden sadness, my grief emerging at such an awkward moment.
This is the way it is. People we love die, and we struggle.
Others are kind. They have the best intentions. Really they do. They comfort us, they send cards, they offer smiles and hugs. Then a few months pass and most figure you'll be OK. No one much mentions your loss anymore.
And you are OK, mostly. But every so often, even in front of a stranger, the sadness of missing someone squeezes your heart.
I'm OK now. But I miss my little errand. Slipping into the post office, turning the key and peering in.
"Nothing today, Mom." No mail today.

LISBON-The refurbished gradstands at the Columbiana County Fair were filled to the brim on a perfect summer evening as fans took in the National Tractor Pullers Association "Smoker Series" Truck and Tractor pull.
"This is all you could ask for," Mike Conny of Beloit, who ran his John Deere 8410 in the Pro Stock/Super Stock series. "It's a great night, there's some great tractors here, it's a big crowd and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves."
The night offered a glimpse at opposite ends of the truck and tractor pulling spectrum.
On one end there was Conny who has been a professional for two years and competes regularly on the National Tractor Pulling Association with his daughter Julia. Conny has enjoyed great success on the national circuit with a pair of third place finishes and one second. He lost in a pull-off to local standout Carlton Cope of Salem last year at the national championships in Bowling Green, Ohio.
"Our tractor has run really well," Conny said. "We're working to keep getting better. We are building for Bowling Green later this month, hopefully we can get first this time."
Conny owns MAC Trailer which helps finance his tractor pulling. He recently donated $50,000 for the new retaining wall at the bottom of the grandstand.
"It's nice to come back around this area and race locally, The track looks great," Conny said. "I really believe that we have some of the best tractor pullers within a 50 mile radius here. It's a great area for tractor pulling."
When it came time for Conny's run in the Pro Stock/Super Stock series he had trouble getting off the starting line, only going about 50 feet initially as the packed crowd let out an audible groan.
"I could not build up enough boost to get off the starting line," Conny said. "It's a delicate balance, and I didn't have enough."
As per the rules, Conny was allowed to back up and give it another try. This time he roared off the line and finished with a pull of 317 feet, good for second place.
"Considering how everything started, I'm very satisfied with second place," Conny said. "It could have turned out a lot worse."
At the opposite end of the spectrum was 15-year-old Jesse Madison of Salineville who is just getting his start in truck pulling.
Madison-who just recently received his drivers permit-entered his '84 Chevy Scottsdale in the Super Street Gasoline division. However, a transmission problem limited his run to 80 feet.
"This was only was second race ever," Madison said as he popped his hood. "It's disappointing to burn out that quickly. I was ready for a good run, my adrenaline was really going."
Madison knows he is at the ground floor of the sport and lacks the money for improvements that his competitors have.
"We were able to get together enough money to buy the truck a couple of years ago, and I put about $4,000 into the motor," Madison said. "My uncle helped me out and I'm laying cement for him right now to help make it up."
Madison's truck was named "Broke A$$ Pullers," which said it all.
"I'm just getting started," Madison said. "It's a fun thing for me right now. As I graduate and hopefully get some more money together, I want to race on the points circuit like these other guys."

THE resignation of Vodacom SA MD Sipho Maseko last week has caught SA's biggest cellular network operator and industry observers by surprise.
"We did try and convince him to stay on. But he was determined that he had better prospects elsewhere, but he did not disclose them to us," Vodacom head of corporate affairs Maya Makanjee said yesterday.
Mr Maseko joined Vodacom as MD for SA in September last year after a 14-year career at oil and gas firm BP SA that culminated in his becoming its country CEO.
When appointed to Vodacom, group MD Pieter Uys lauded Mr Maseko. "Sipho has impressed us with his business acumen, leadership approach and track record in a multinational environment. We believe he will make a refreshing contribution to our business and we look forward to welcoming him on board," Mr Uys said at the time.
Mr Maseko's role changed when Vodacom implemented its new management structure, making him both MD of South African operations and also group chief operating officer, and effectively Mr Uys's shadow.
"The relationship between a group CEO and chief operating officer can be very difficult as the two positions often overlap and this could cause a lot of strife," former Telkom CEO Papi Molotsane said at the weekend. Mr Molotsane quit Telkom in 2007 after only 18 months as its CEO, being replaced by its then chief operating officer, Ruben September, who immediately eliminated the position.
"If the overlap leads to confusion, then there is a problem, and this will mean that one of the two (either CEO or chief operating officer) has to go," he said.
Mr Molotsane said Mr Maseko's resignation probably had more to do with a better opportunity elsewhere.
Telecom's regulatory lawyer Dominic Cull said newcomers to the sector often had a tough time trying to adapt.
Meanwhile, cellular network operators MTN and Vodacom are increasingly concerned that millions of rand they paid in sponsorship fees for the ICT Indaba, hosted by the Department of Communications earlier this month, may have been misused.
The Sunday Times yesterday reported that Phosane Mngqibisa, CEO of brand company Khemano Investment Holdings - who was allegedly romantically linked to Communications Minister Dina Pule, and who was also subcontracted to indaba organiser Carol Bouwer Productions - had withdrawn the fees.
"We believe that we received the deliverables that we paid for," Vodacom spokesman Richard Boorman said yesterday.
"However, we are still awaiting the audit report from Carol Bouwer Productions, and with these questions now being asked we are keen to receive it sooner rather than later."

UN-Energy, Major Electricity Producers Sign Declaration on Public-Private Partnerships
June 2011: UN-Energy, together with the Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership (formerly the e8 network) of leading global electricity companies, met at the "Global Summit to Strengthen Public-Private Partnerships to Accelerate Global Electricity Technology Deployment" to discuss public-private partnership best practices to advance sustainable energy development.
The Summit, which took place on 2 June 2011 in New York, US, saw the launch of the report "Strengthening Public-Private Partnerships to Accelerate Global Electricity Technology Deployment: Recommendations from the Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership Survey." Participants also signed a declaration on Strengthening Public Private Partnerships that aims to accelerate global clean electricity technology deployment, universal access to energy and the elimination of extreme poverty.
The report highlights the results of a survey of practitioners from the private, public and civil society sectors on policy and project traits that foster an attractive financial risk-reward atmosphere, and bring more low-carbon electricity projects to completion. Its recommendations include that countries should: establish formal national energy development plans and clearly defined public-private partnership strategies; provide assured cost-recovery and profit potential for investors through legislation backed energy plans; maximize benefits to communities from new and expanded electrification; optimize the private sector's ability to bring financing alternatives for energy projects; and sustain strong partnerships with effective communication, well-defined roles and responsibilities, and continuous commitment.

Pa. State Senate: Sean Wiley
Erie voters were stunned when Janet Anderson, Republican candidate for the 49th District state Senate seat, unleashed harsh negative ads against her Democratic opponent, Sean Wiley, accusing him of being responsible for high unemployment, tax increases and job losses here.
Wiley, the grandson of the late David Wiley, longtime Erie County clerk of records, was director of administration under former County Executive Mark DiVecchio. But Wiley has not held elective office. It was unfair to blame him for problems that have bedeviled Erie no matter which party has been in charge.
Residents most of all need a leader in the state Senate who can focus on retaining and attracting businesses, improving the educational attainment of our citizens and working across the political aisle for the good of our region, as retiring Sen. Jane Earll has done during her four terms.
Wiley is the better choice to succeed Earll, an official he describes as "a very strong leader" and someone he respects. In his campaign, Wiley communicated clearly his concerns about budget cuts to education and human services. He correctly noted Erie's delegation to Harrisburg must work together to be a voice for our region. "We have not had that in a number of years," he said, referring to both parties and using the law on distribution of gaming money as an example. "We had all the legislators on a different page," he said.
Anderson has 26 years of experience in economic development, but she gave only lukewarm support to the Greater Erie Economic Development Corp.'s Inland Port project. Erie has to pursue "those dreams," she said, but wrongly called the proposed logistics hub "a stretch for us." She supports workforce development, but said: "I don't know if it has to be a community college." We disagree. Wiley said Erie has to "embrace the universities ... and put political pressure on" to create a community college model that works here for affordable postsecondary education. Wiley is the better choice to listen to many voices about our economic future, including Anderson's.

Fire union negotiations reach impasse
Collective bargaining negotiations between the Corpus Christi Professional Firefighters Association and city officials reached an impasse Wednesday, dissolving a temporary restraining order and giving room for union members to unblock their website, which featured a political cartoon resembling the City Council and city manager.
Local 936 representatives delivered a letter to the city manager's office Wednesday morning declaring an impasse and requesting mediation, a process that begins when an agreement cannot be brokered after 60 days of negotiation.
"If they're really sincere in wanting to reach an agreement, then we have 14 days with the assistance of a mediator ... to get to the table and tackle these issues," said Carlos Torres, association president.
As of late Wednesday afternoon, city officials were considering mediation but hadn't made a final decision, said Kim Womack, city of Corpus Christi spokeswoman.
The city had previously requested not to declare an impasse but instead extend the negotiation term, officials said Tuesday. The request for an extension on negotiations was made, in part, because city officials didn't feel any real negotiation had taken place, or that there had been key issues identified that a mediator could help sort out, Womack said.
"We feel like it would be in the best interest to go back to the table for everyone involved, not only for the union, but the taxpayers," Womack said.
The impasse came a day after the City Council adopted a resolution to continue negotiations with the designated representatives from the city and association teams, even with the declaration of an impasse. As part of the same resolution, the council encouraged its predesignated team to continue negotiations and asserted that council responses to issues brought up in negotiations would be handled by a designated spokesperson.
The city suspended collective bargaining agreement negotiations with the union May 21, after delivering a cease and desist letter to union negotiators, who the city claimed were violating negotiation ground rules by promoting public campaigns that included billboards and its "Become a Hero" program. Association representatives have denied that those activities violate the ground rules for the current negotiation process or their current contract.
Alternately, association representatives have accused city officials of violating the ground rules by refusing to negotiate until the union agreed to halt the campaigns.
The city, in turn, filed petitions for a permanent and temporary injunctions against the association when the union did not end the contested activities. At a hearing last week on the temporary injunction, County Court at Law No. 4 Judge James Klager ordered that the union take down its website but said the association could keep its billboards.
The temporary restraining order expired upon declaration of impasse Wednesday, and the website — which showed as "being under construction" during the period that the order was in effect — is back up, with new material posted accusing city officials of attempting to suppress the First Amendment rights of members and use the recent lawsuit as a form of intimidation.
City officials have in the past denied those allegations, saying they only sought a fair bargaining process.
Messages on the site also question how the council is making its decisions, and question the council's approval of a 12 percent raise for City Manager Ron Olson on Tuesday.
Included in the website content is a cartoon that appears to depict the council members on strings, with someone who appears to be Olson holding the strings. The image does not include credit information, and Torres said he did not know who created the cartoon.
The website is an illustration of what city officials didn't want to be a part of the negotiations, Womack said, calling the material "propaganda."
Torres said he did not consider it propaganda and described the website as a way to keep the public informed on the association's views.
"This is our opinion of what's happening at City Hall and the way it's being run — that's what that picture obviously depicts," he said.
Olson could not immediately be reached for response, while Mayor Nelda Martinez declined to comment on the cartoon, saying she was restricted by the recent council resolution.
"Our focus is to continue negotiations with the appropriate designated parties, per the ground rules, in a fair and professional manner," she said. "We will continue to take the high road in our negotiations, per the agreement."

Enobia Pharma raised $40 million in a private placement to fund further development of its Phase II-stage enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) ENB-0040 for the genetic bone disorder hypophosphatasia. The disease is caused by deficiency in a tissue-nonspecific form of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP), and causes inorganic pyrophosphate to accumulate in the extracellular space and inhibit skeletal mineralization, leading to rickets in pediatric patients and osteomalacia in adults.
Lead hypophosphatasia candidate ENB-0040 is designed to directly target functional TNSALP to the patient's bone to help correct enzyme deficiency. The ERT has already completed two clinical trials in younger hypophosphatasia patients: a Phase I/II study in infants and young children, and a Phase II study in children aged 5–12 years. Enrollment into a Phase II trial evaluating ENB-0040 in adolescent and adult patients was completed in February.
Data from the study in juveniles was reported in January, and confirmed therapy using ENB-0040 led to significant improvements in rickets in treated patients. Participants in both the juvenile and infant trials are continuing to receive therapy under extension protocols, and new patients under the age of five years are still being enrolled.
Enobia was in addition recently awarded a $1.2 million, three-year FDA orphan grant to support development of ENB-0040 for the long-term treatment of infants and young children with hypophosphatasia.

DyeStat Elites | Meet's Live Results Page
For the second time in three weeks, a small group of elite preps put up some super marks against collegiate and open competition at Princeton, New Jersey.
Two of them were victorious during Friday night's Larry Ellis Invite. Phillips Academy (Andover, Mass.) senior Cayla Hatton won the fastest of four sections of the 5,000 meters, clocking a US#1 16:14.99 that moved her to #7 all time. In the 800, Neptune (Neptune, N.J.) senior Ajee' Wilson claimed the fastest section in a US#1 2:05.28. And in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, North Shore (Glen Head, N.Y.) senior Brianna Nerud placed sixth with a 10:27.61.
Hatton's performance was the latest in a stunning string of long-distance races since she came back this year from injury. Taking the non-traditional route of competing beyond the high school level, she most recently (three weeks ago) had clocked a 33:17.28 for (a mixed) 10,000 meters at the Tufts Snowflake Invite, history's #2 prep performance. She earlier had great races in the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix prep mile (second to Haley Pierce) and the USATF cross-country championships (Senior race; 13th place).
Though Wilson competes for a major state association public school, she has also raced much of the indoor and outdoor seasons against elites. After ending her junior year last summer with a World Youth title at 800, she battled the pros in three major indoor invites with her greatest success coming at the Millrose Games where her 2:04.13 placed fourth and moved her to #2 all-time. However, she also defended her New Balance Nationals Indoor 800 title. Two weeks ago here at Princeton, in the Sam Howell Invite (also college/open), she ran a then-US#1 4:28.59 for 1,500.
Nerud also raced in the Howell meet two weeks ago as she continues to shoot for the Olympic Trials 'B' standard. There, she ran US#1 10:24.95 for fifth place – and history's #2 prep time – and hoped to improve Friday night. Still, she beat 33 older runners in the race. Nerud also competes a busy schedule for North Shore in individual events and relays, and is coming off a summer where she ran the #2 time ever for the 2K steeple (6:29.56) at the World Youth Champs. This spring, with the current USR-holder Maddie Meyers (her World Youth teammate) still competing, she has the US#1 mark in the shorter race over barriers as well (6:49.30).

Cool temperatures will make Santa Clarita hot for the holiday weekend.
The National Weather Service forecasts pleasant skies for the Memorial Day Weekend.
"Things are looking really nice, actually — Saturday, Sunday and Monday are looking mostly clear," said Meteorologist David Gomberg, of the National Weather Service. "It's about the right temperature for this time of year."
Beautiful weekend weather will push many people to Castaic Lake.
"We're looking at one of our busiest days," said Erik Reifman, superintendent for Castaic Lake Recreational Area.
Veteran employees of Castaic Lake Recreation Area don't expect boat traffic to clog the lake this weekend, said Ralph Searcy, supervising lake lifeguard at Castaic Lake Recreation Area. "The busiest day will be Sunday, where we will probably meet capacity and draw 500 boats," he said.
On Memorial Day, the lake probably won't fill up to capacity, but on busy weekends the number of eager boaters can exceed 500 and long lines of boaters will form, he said.
Searcy's worked at Castaic Lake for 26 years and says Memorial Day is all about swimmers. "We should see about 5,000 swimmers during the weekend," he said. "It all depends on the weather."
Safety is a prime concern on Memorial Day weekend. With that in mind, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CalFire, issued some basic steps to stay safe during outdoor activities.
For those taking to the lake this weekend, always wear a life jacket. Children should always be supervised by a responsible adult and should never swim alone. Swimmers should never take to the lake under the influence of alcohol, according to a statement issued by CalFire.
Memorial Day often means people cook outdoors. CalFire wants those who choose to barbecue and grill to take some precautions during the holiday.
People planning to cook outdoors this weekend should never leave the grill unattended, according to a statement by CalFire.
The same caution goes for those camping this weekend.
CalFire advises campers to clear away grass, leaves and other debris within a 10-foot perimeter of the campfire. Make sure all campfires are completely extinguished before leaving.
"California is a beautiful place to live and recreate in," said Chief Del Walters, director of CalFire. "It is so important that people understand the dangers the outdoors pose. Even the simplest of steps can prevent these types of tragedies."
Safety is also a concern for local law enforcement. The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station is increasing its patrols in the next few days but is expecting a calm holiday weekend.
"Well, of course we'll be on the lookout for drunk drivers, but normally this time of year we don't see an increase in traffic because a lot of people go away," said Lt. Brenda Cambra.
Cambra said deputies don't usually see an increase of drunk-driving arrests over the Memorial Day holiday, but the Sheriff's Station does "put additional cars out there."

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Its purpose is to spotlight eagerly-anticipated upcoming releases.
This week I'm eagerly awaiting:
The Break-Up Artist by Philip Siegel
Expected Release Date: April 29, 2014
Some sixteen-year-olds babysit for extra cash. Some work at the Gap. Becca Williamson breaks up couples.
After watching her sister get left at the altar, Becca knows the true damage that comes when people utter the dreaded L-word. For just $100 via paypal, she can trick and manipulate any couple into smithereens. With relationship zombies overrunning her school, and treating single girls like second class citizens, business is unfortunately booming. Even her best friend Val has resorted to outright lies to snag a boyfriend.
One night, she receives a mysterious offer to break up the homecoming king and queen, the one zombie couple to rule them all: Steve and Huxley. They are a JFK and Jackie O in training, masters of sweeping faux-mantic gestures, but if Becca can split them up, then school will be safe again for singletons. To succeed, she'll have to plan her most elaborate scheme to date and wiggle her way back into her former BFF Huxley's life – not to mention start a few rumors, sabotage some cell phones, break into a car, and fend off the inappropriate feelings she's having about Val's new boyfriend. All while avoiding a past victim out to expose her true identity.
No one said being the Break-Up Artist was easy.
(summary via Goodreads)
This one looks totally ridiculous and fun. It's going to require a fair amount of suspension of disbelief, but I don't mind that if it's well done. The book is getting a fair amount of buzz, so the outlook on this one is good. I can't wait to read this one–it's got all the trappings of a silly romantic comedy.
What are you waiting on this week?

Passage Oublié is an interactive touchscreen artwork about extraordinary renditions, installed at Pearson Airport, Toronto.
"What else do we lose when we make people disappear? Passage Oublié is an interactive artwork allowing the public to send messages to a touchscreen kiosk located in Pearson's International Airport. Messages received are animated along flight trajectories on a map featuring airports involved in rendition flights. A rendition flight is a detainee-transfer practice where people, currently mostly Muslim men, are transported in rented commercial jets to interrogation sites around the world known as black sites. Although there exists a legal form of rendition to hand suspects over to another country, the procedure is also conducted outside any legal system, hence offering no protection for the detainees. Passage Oublié focuses on documented cases of such illegal renditions, known as "Extraordinary Renditions", which surpass the number of legal renditions. The survivors of Extraordinary Renditions tell of numerous human rights violations. Passage Oublié invites Citizens of the World in transit at Pearson's International Airport to send text messages relating to these questions: Are rendition flights an acceptable means of dealing with new terrorism threats? How does their use affect a country's credibility as a defender of liberty? Does the end justify the means when it comes to pre-emptive war on terror? Are we compromising on the liberal democracies' cherished principle of innocent-until-proven-guilty?

It has been remarked in jest that "invention is the mother of necessity." This admirable work proves the point. Now that Dr. Bessis has compiled the fruits of his many years of labor in one comprehensive text, every hematologist will need to own it.
The book deals with virtually all aspects of cell cytology. Although Dr. Bessis is perhaps best known in this country for his work with erythrocytes, this text contains in-depth treatment of the granulocytes, thrombocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells, mast cells, and reticulohistocytic elements as well. Each of these subjects is dealt with in terms of both the normal and the pathological conditions.
The book contains 523 remarkable illustrations that serve to complement the textual material. The illustrations are of high quality and include photographs taken with light microscopy, phase microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and conventional electron microscopy. This book, however, is not merely an atlas but

The actress, 40, and artist Davey Detail were married on the lawn of the Paramour Mansion Saturday, her rep confirmed to PEOPLE exclusively. The ceremony was performed by a rabbi outdoors under a chuppah of McGowan's design in front of 60 guests.
McGowan's strapless A-line silk Monique Lhuillier creation featured a corset and Chantilly lace draped with a fine tulle overlay, and the waistline of the dress was accented with a knot detail cascading into the skirt.
She finished her bridal look with a raw edge chapel-length tulle veil and Jimmy Choo shoes and walked down the aisle solo to "The Song to the Siren" by This Mortal Coil.
After the ceremony, guests flowed into the intimate garden of the Paramour Mansion for the dinner reception, where DJ Madison Stewart spun tunes.
Inside the bash – planned by Amber Gustafson – miniature custom terrariums with name tags served as both seating assignments and party favors, and a dinner buffet included Southern comfort food staples such as fried chicken and waffles, ribeye steak and cajun creamed corn.
The table florals dripped with maiden hair fern and amaranthus in vintage brass vases and guests were seated on mismatched dark wood tables and chairs.
A custom cake by Fantasy Frosting that was a replicate of McGowan's parents' wedding cake added a sweet touch. One final surprise at the very end of the night? A bouncy house!
For even more exclusive photos from Rose McGowan's wedding, pick up the upcoming issue of PEOPLE.

TRENTON — State Sen. Jim Whelan (D-Atlantic) has held on to his seat despite a spirited challenge from Republican Atlantic County Sheriff Frank Balles in the 2nd Legislative District, the Associated Press projects.
Whelan – a high school teacher, swim coach and former mayor of Atlantic City – will serve in this south Jersey district for the next four years
What's unclear is whether Whelan will bring his two Democratic running mates with him: Vincent Mazzeo and Nick Russo. The race between them and Assemblymen John Amodeo (R-Atlantic) and Christopher A. Brown remains too close to call.

Results tagged "Rachel Maddow Show" from Blog for Choice
Our own Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, stopped by The Rachel Maddow Show last night to talk about the recent slew of outrageous anti-choice comments from the campaign trail.
Most recently, we heard Richard Mourdock, who is running for Senate in Indiana, say that pregnancy resulting from rape is "something that God intended to happen."
But that's not all. Rep. Paul Ryan has called rape just another "method of conception." And Rep. Todd Akin drew national attention by claiming that pregnancy rarely occurs from a "legitimate rape" because "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
Romney has not withdrawn his endorsement of Richard Mourdock. In fact, the only candidate that Mitt Romney has supported in a campaign ad is Mourdock. Has Romney told Mourdock to take down the ads? No.
President Obama spoke out against Mourdock's comments on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in front of millions of viewers: "This is exactly why you don't want politicians - mostly male - making decisions about women's health care decisions." His campaign released its own ad so that voters know where the Romney-Ryan ticket stands.
This is certainly not the first time Romney has failed to stand with women. When Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke "a slut," Romney simply said: "It's not the language I would have used."
Romney's refusal to withdraw his endorsement shows voters that he is anything but moderate on choice.
As Nancy Keenan stated, "The American public is not stupid. And I think they're going to see through [the Romney-Ryan ticket] and understand that there's only one person who supports a woman's right to choose, and that's President Barack Obama."
We are horrified by these anti-choice comments and appalled that Romney refuses to withdraw his endorsement for Mourdock.
On November 6, make sure you support the candidate who trusts women to make their own personal decisions: pro-choice President Barack Obama.

We were so excited to hear The Rachel Maddow Show describe our "Obama Defectors" strategy this weekend!

We expect the presidential election to be close. That's why we're microtargeting more than 330,000 pro-choice women in battleground counties who voted for President Obama in 2008, but who are not likely to vote for him in November.
Our election work will give these voters the facts about Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan's extreme anti-choice agenda - and urge them to cast their vote for pro-choice President Obama on November 6.

Last night, Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, went on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show."

Thank you, Nancy!
Earlier this year, the commonwealth of Virginia enacted a far-reaching TRAP law, or Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers.
TRAP laws are unnecessary and burdensome regulations on abortion providers--but not other medical professionals. They're an obvious attempt to drive doctors out of practice and make abortion care more expensive and difficult to obtain.
Virginia's Department of Health is expected to announce today draft rules for the implementation of the new TRAP law. These rules could jeopardize women's access to safe, legal abortion and other reproductive-health care in the state.
Tarina Keene, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia, went on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show last night to speak out against burdensome regulations:
If you live in the Old Dominion, check with NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia for ways to take action to protect access to safe, legal abortion care in Virginia.
Since we last talked (or wrote, rather), NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia's efforts to take on anti-choice Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's latest attack on abortion providers have continued to gain steam.
The big-ticket item was Tarina Keene's (executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia) appearance Tuesday evening on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show.
In addition, editorials from the Washington Post and The Virginian-Pilot took Cuccinelli to task for using his office to push a politically motivated agenda that will do nothing to improve women's health services in the Old Dominion. Writers at Slate and The Atlantic weighed in with their thoughts, too.
Cuccinelli did get some "friendly feedback," however. Anti-choice Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell issued his support for the attorney general's action. We love Tarina Keene's response to this development:
McDonnell and Cuccinelli are the same politicians who have vowed to outlaw abortion but now want to reinvent themselves as protectors of women's health. That's unconscionable, and the public won't buy it. If the McDonnell-Cuccinelli agenda succeeds, we could see 17 of the 21 abortion providers disappear from Virginia, eliminating women's access to abortion and other services, such as birth control and cancer screenings, that these medical facilities provide.
Let us know if you see more coverage of this issue. Also, if you live in Virginia, please take action at NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia's site.

Stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein seem just as game as ever to comment on the absurdities of everyday life in as absurd a fashion as possible.
While "Portlandia" is generally revered for its mockery of hipster culture and counter-culture, the series just as often sends up mainstream culture. That's evident in each of the first four episodes of the new season that were made available for review.
In tonight's season premiere, Kirsten Dunst gets terrorized "Scream"-style by ghosts who parrot articles and NPR reports on what is good or bad for a person (too much sleep vs. not enough sleep, etc.).
In the third episode, Carrie decies to ditch all forms of online social media and she becomes invisible to Fred. A "human bandwidth manager" tells Carrie Pink retweeted him (his tweet: "An abacus is a machine you can really count on"), which made his day.
"I can't wait to miss out on jokes like that," Carrie says.
Episode four includes a sketch on what it might be like if NPR listeners tailgated before a "Prairie Home Companion" taping.

The Pound yesterday rose strongly against the US Dollar and also made gains against 16 of the most actively traded currencies.
Unexepectedly, UK retail sales jumped in July by roughly four times initial estimates to record the biggest increase in five months, according to a report from the Office of National Statistics. No doubt this will be welcome news to the Government as there is some concern that the second quarter growth figures will represent the peak of the recovery this year.
The Bank of England is predicting that consumer spending will keep growing at a "modest rate" over the coming months, albeit the governor Mervyn King has confirmed that policy makers have discussed increasing bond purchases to support the economic recovery as the government tackles the budget deficit.
Against the US Dollar, the Pound rose up from the key support at $1.55 for a second day in a row. It rallied 1% to a high of $1.5660.
The Pound against the Euro is testing resistance close to the 1.22 level – is it time to take advantage as the Pound strengthens against the Euro?
This being helped by a report showing that Britain posted a smaller budget deficit in July than expected, as the UK economy surged in the second quarter.
Expectations were that net borrowing would be £4.8 billion but instead met borrowing was only £3.17 billion.
The better than expected economic data helped boost UK stocks which helped the Pound also benefit against the lower-yielding currencies like the US Dollar and Japanese Yen.
Lee Hardman, a currency strategist at Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd, said that "UK data today showed the economy is more robust than some people might have expected. That should support the Pound, at least in the near term."
The Pound has rallied 5.1% against the Dollar since the May 6th general election.
Despite all this Sterling fell back towards $1.5540 against the US Dollar last night as investors moved to the relative safety of dollar-denominated assets.
There are concerns that Europe's economic recovery is waining and as a result the Euro dropped for a second day in a row against the US Dollar, falling towards $1.27. It also fell against 13 out of the 16 most actively traded currencies, as worries grow that austerity measures in Greece will hurt the economy and drive unemployment to 70% in some areas of the country.
Antje Praefcke, a currency strategist at Commerzbank AG, said that "euro concerns are still lingering in the background. The impact of the fiscal adjustment in Europe is real and will be felt for years."
Paul Robson, a senior foreign exchange strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, said that "the euro continues to struggle to make upside progress as periphery woes linger. This leaves Monday's $1.2734 low as an obvious focus." Elsewhere, U.S jobless claims jumped to the highest level since November, while a regional manufacturing index shrank for the first time in a year.

Local families celebrate rare holiday, Thanksgivukkah
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -
Stefanie Raifman always looks forward to Thanksgiving dinner.
"I love the turkey when I bake it, and the stuffing. I love all Thanksgiving food," said Raifman.
But this year, she plans to add a little bit more to the dinner table.
That's because for the first time since 1888, the first full day of Hanukkah will be celebrated on Thanksgiving day.
"Thanksgivukkah," is what many are calling the rare holiday. And many local Jews, including Raifman, are finding unique ways to celebrate.
"Were just really going to combine everything, we were going back and forth between chicken soup, maybe some mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes," said Raifman.
So how did it happen?
Thanksgiving was set into law in 1942 to be the fourth Thursday of every November. And according to the Jewish calendar, this is a leap year, meaning major Jewish holidays were moved up by nearly a month.
"This is a phenomenon that won't happen in my lifetime, and it's very special," said Sharon Shlakman.
So special, that Raifman's mother and sister came from out of town to take part in the festivities.
"It gives you an opportunity to get together with family for a very happy time," said Shlakman.
And for Stefani, Thursday's menu goes beyond the traditional dinner table.
Whatever you want to have on your menu, just start a tradition, you only live once, so why not try it," said Raifman.

According to a recent Deloitte survey focused on U.S. consumers and their pantries, name brand loyalty has declined for the third consecutive year. An astounding nine out of 10 consumers are still trading down to private-label brands, despite improvements in the economy. This survey suggests that consumers have not only grown more mindful of their spending habits, but also learned along the way that in-store alternative brands are often comparable. Motley Fool contributor Steve Heller believes that the trend of continued frugality is likely to persist, putting Whole Foods (NASDAQ: WFM ) and Costco (NASDAQ: COST ) in great position to benefit to boost their margins. Check out the video below to hear his thoughts on the issue.
Costco's low prices haven't just benefited customers -- shareholders have walloped the market, returning 11,000% over the past two decades. However, with prices near all-time highs, is the ride over for Costco investors? To answer that and more, The Motley Fool's compiled a premium research report with in-depth analysis on Costco.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Some Reflections
Ronald McCallum
University of Sydney - Faculty of Law
March 3, 2010
Sydney Law School Research Paper No. 10/30
On 3 May 2008, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ('CRPD') came into force. Australia has ratified the CRPD and its Optional Protocol. The article provides an overview of the origins and development of the CRPD and the substantive and procedural provisions of the CRPD and its Optional Protocol. The article then turns to a discussion of court and tribunal decisions in Australia and the United Kingdom where the CRPD has been cited. This discussion focuses on the decision of the Supreme Court of the Australian State of Victoria in Nicholson v Knaggs, in which Vickery J uses the CRPD to assist in reshaping the Common Law test for testamentary incapacity. The article concludes with an overview of the early work of the CRPD Committee, and discusses the monitoring and the reporting requirements of ratifying countries.

FAU Frontiers in Science Presents: "The Progression of Cancer and Arthritis: Can Similar Treatments Help for Both Diseases?"
BOCA RATON, FL (March 8, 2007) – Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Science presents Gregg Fields, Ph.D. as a guest speaker in the final public lecture of the spring 2007 Frontiers in Science program. The lecture, "The Progression of Cancer and Arthritis: Can Similar Treatments Help for Both Diseases?" will take place on Thursday, March 22 at 3:30 p.m. in Room 126 in the Charles E. Schmidt Biomedical Science Center.
The diseases of both cancer and arthritis affect the lives and quality of lives of many. In his presentation, Fields will present how cancer progression and arthritis both involve the destruction of tissues. This type of destruction is caused by a type of enzyme called a protease. About 20 years ago, one family of proteases was proposed to be responsible for tissue destruction in both cancer progression and arthritis. However, more recent studies have indicated that different members of this protease family have different roles in cancer and arthritis. Based on this information, selective protease inhibitors are being designed for the appropriate clinical application.
Fields is professor and chair of the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science at FAU. He received the "FAU Researcher of the Year Award" for 2000-2001 and 2005-2006.

On August 12, Jay-Z, USA Basketball Team finalists, NBA stars, and a full house of fans gathered in Radio City Music Hall to celebrate the love of the game like never before.
The inaugural World Basketball Festival – hosted by Nike, the Jordan Brand, and Converse – was a four-day celebration of the game and culture, featuring National Basketball Teams from Brazil, China, France, Puerto Rico, and the US. For the kick-off on Thursday night, MKTG produced a live event merging a full-court basketball game – the USA Team's first "Blue vs. White" scrimmage – and a headline performance by the 100-million dollar man himself, Jay-Z. The pre-event and halftime festivities included a 91-person cast of dancers and musical performers.
production glue technically produced Team USA's tip-off and the Jay-Z performance, with broadcasts to BET, NBAE, Facebook, YouTube, and a simulcast in Times Square. The game plan: to design and execute a working basketball court on the stage of Radio City Music Hall, manage broadcasting and talent, and successfully combine an all-star basketball game and headline concert with an immediate turnaround time.
Under the direction of Tom Bussey, production glue installed a full-sized court on the landmark stage that redefined "court-side seating." Team USA played a friendly 49-47 game under Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. Two screens projected the game, buzzers sounded, and points ticked upwards on scoreboards. Kevin Durant dunked, LeBron watched from onstage, and Andre Iguodala took home game MVP honors.
Immediately after the game, with only a 30-minute changeover, the touring set-up of Jay-Z's full band was revealed, including band risers with Pixled F11 fronts. For this production, a never-before-seen installation of Barco mi-strips was designed by Bruce Rodgers, and his associate Anthony Bishop. The new design also took full advantage of the full stage 40′ x 90′ house LED screen.
production glue was honored to work with Jay-Z for a third time in the past year; the legendary rapper performed an exclusive 30-minute set of hit after hit, ending with "Empire State of Mind" in front of the NYC skyline LED backdrop. All LED products were supplied by XL Video, and controlled with MBox and Control Freak interfaces.
The production seamlessly transitioned from the game to the concert by sharing multiple production elements, yet each "show" was distinct. The overall design and direction of the event was spearheaded by executive producer Kristine Smith. production glue principal Tom Bussey served as the event's staging producer, alongside glue technical director Matt Richman, and production stage manager Grayson Meritt.
Camille Connolly, overall Production Designer for MKTG for the World Basketball Festival, executed Nike's desired look and feel for the game and ancillary VIP and public relations/press spaces. The combined forces of CAT power; Brad Haffer and Atomic Lighting (lighting equipment and lead gaffer services); and lead project manager, Joe McMonagle of Atomic Scenic (scenic elements) made the overall concept a reality. In total it took a two-day load-in (and 12-hour load out), with 17 tractor trailers of equipment, including the court.
Jay-Z's set design was created by the star's production design team of Patrick Dierson, Drew Findley, Dirk Sanders, and Bruce Rodgers. Patrick Dierson was the overall lighting designer for the entire event blending the needs of the game and television lighting with his own lighting design for Jay-Z. Clair Brothers provided the concert audio.
In realtime, production glue activated a simulcast of the event in Times Square. Led by MKTG producer Derek Cummings, Jack Hilley, glue's TD on the job, set up a stageline trailer with an LED screen, a portable court, and audio to support the live feed from Radio City. David Stern oversaw all MKTG-produced broadcast elements, including the live simulcasts to Times Square and the web. Overall broadcast contributors also included PRG's John Petrafesa (game and broadcast audio); AMV's Lenny Lexer (Nike Broadcast equipment provider); and projection by Brian Brooks of MB video.
Both the game and media (driven by Cameron Yeary of UVLD) and the concert (driven by Drew Findley and Dirk Sanders) required a heavy use of mixed media – as well as 13 Mbox units to drive the multiple LED and media sources; 21 television cameras; and two full HD broadcast trucks to support the two television network broadcasts and Times Square satellite event.
The Festival continued at Harlem's Rucker Park, and concluded August 15 at Madison Square Garden with a doubleheader (USA vs. France, and China vs. Puerto Rico) for the Global Community Cup.
production glue greatly thanks our friends at MKTG, Nike, the design and management team for Jay-Z, Radio City Music Hall, Times Square, and all the production vendors and crew that made this event a success. We give special thanks to David Arnold, MKTG Executive Vice President of Production and Kristine Smith, MKTG Executive Producer, for the opportunity to be part of this spectacular event.

While critics were all over the map when it came to assessing Martin Scorsese's brutal period epic "Gangs of New York," its stars were well focused on carrying out their roles, reports The New York Times.
In interviews with Cameron Diaz and Leonardo DiCaprio, the paper reports that Diaz, 30, learned that the secret to picking pockets is, simply, "the art of distraction."
Once the victim is set up, the Golden Globe nominee explained, "It's just positioning yourself with your partner -- your unknowing partner -- and sort of dipping them, and while you're dipping them you're dipping into their pocket and they don't know it.
"It's one of those things that with practice you can get quite good at because it's kind of common sense, and it's not something that's very difficult in certain situations, like in a crowd."
For his part, the movie's leading man, DiCaprio, studied fighting with an historian, who told him that the style of punching depended upon the gang. His gang in the movie, the Dead Rabbits, utilized a style called catchacatch.
"It's kind of like Greco-Roman wrestling mixed with street fighting," said DiCaprio, 28.
No word from The Times on how Daniel Day-Lewis learned to wield an ax.

Sponsored by the Children, Youth and Families Research Group and the Social and Cultural Geography Research Group
Stuart C. Aitken and Sam Cortez
Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of Youth ad Space (ISYS), San Diego State University, California
This session explores how material borders and youthful mobilities give way to young people's experimentations with cultural, social and political change. We seek papers that highlight the capacities of children to revolutionize thought and practice through creative re-imagining of boundaries, borders, events, circumstances, and family and community relations.
In what ways are child migration and mobility patterns changing? How are youthful mobilities contextualized by local and state violence? What frontiers of youthful imaginations counteract these constraints and contexts? In what ways do young people engage in political and civic life and how do those practices shape policy making? How are authoritarian borders blurred or transgressed through youthful mobilities? What are the implications for citizenship?
What are the implications of these questions for geographers? In what ways should we be reconsidering spatial relations and the work of childhood? What kinds of policy interventions are apposite at this time?
Papers are invited on – but not limited to- the following themes:
child mobility and child rights
unaccompanied minors (independent child migrants)
child mobility as a catalyst for political change
border spaces and revolutionary imaginations
child labor and mobility
migration and safety
national policies on child movement and state violence
child migration and citizenship
Please send title and abstract (c. 300 words) to Stuart C. Aitken, Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of Youth and Space (ISYS), San Diego State University, CA 92182, USA (firstname.lastname@example.com) by Feb. 4, 2013

"Tyronn Lue had already been in the league five years and won a pair of championship rings with the Lakers when he arrived in Orlando in 2003, Doc Rivers' last season as head coach of the Magic. Rivers only lasted 11 games as head coach that season, but point guard-to-point guard he and Lue saw things the same way. Two years ago, when Rivers was winning a championship in Boston and Lue was a veteran reserve with the Magic, Rivers had talked to Lue.
"There's guys you coach all the time that you say, 'He'll be a coach.' And Ty Lue was on the top of that list," Rivers said. "I told him when you're ready to stop trying to play basketball and you want to come sit on the bench and join us, we'll create it," Rivers said. "No matter how many coaches we have, I'll get you a job."
Lue took him up on the offer, joining Rivers' staff as director of basketball development. He was at practice today in Waltham. He'll be Rivers' fifth assistant (Boston.com)."
I have no idea why, but I have always hated Tyronn Lue. I am glad he is not playing for us, and they even came out and stated there is zero chance he will suit up for the Celtics. I guess it is good to have a guy on the staff that can actually still play ball. Rivers loves having former players, so whatever makes Rivers happy I am fine with....

Schuberth C3 Motorcycle Helmets
Schuberth C3 Pro Gloss Motorcycle Helmet
The all new Schuberth C3 Pro is a re-design on the award winning Schuberth C3 to bring it inline with Schubeth's new full face S2. The new spoiler which has been optimised in the wind tunnel turns the Schuberth C3 Pro into a real sport helmet which also demonstrates outstanding aerodynamic properties at high speeds in excess of 160 km/h.With its further enhanced aeroacoustics of 82 dB(A) at 100 km/h the Schuberth C3 Pro is one of the quietest helmets in the world. Naturally the new Schuberth C3 Pro also incorporates two integrated antennas for increased ranges and better FM radio reception – prepared for the fully integrated communication unit SRC-System™. The suspension, made of carefully selected materials such as COOLMAX®, Interpower® and Thermocool®, sets new benchmarks with respect to comfort.
|Schuberth C3 Motorcycle Helmet - More Info!
Schuberth C3 Pro - Outer Shell
The outer shell of the Schuberth C3 Pro is offered in two helmet shell sizes and combines an aerodynamically optimal shape with excellent protection. It is manufactured using Schuberth's compression moulding process and thus permits great stability and a low weight
Shell material: S.T.R.O.N.G. fibre
Helmet shell technology from Schuberth permits low weight
Glass fibre with a special resin added is compressed in a vacuum at high pressure to form a helmet shell which is exceptionally sturdy
Schuberth C3 Pro- Inner Shell
The inner shell of the Schuberth C3 Pro is of special EPS foam is modular in design to ensure optimal shock absorption. This complex segmentation guarantees enhanced force absorption and distribution and maximum safety
Made of specially optimized EPS foam
Complex multizone foaming allows optimal shock absorption
Schuberth C3 Pro- Inner lining
A special inner lining of the Schuberth C3 Pro which was developed according to the innovative Comfort Fit concept ensures that the helmet fits comfortably and securely in all situations. The combination of carefully selected COOLMAX and Thermocool materials and the additional use of Interpower coatings also make the inner lining a highly-effective moisture removal and cooling system.
Schuberth C3 Pro - Fastener System
Precise Setting of the chinstrap length through adjustment on both sides
Micro Lock ratchet lock
Schuberth C3 Pro - Reflex Pads
The silver coloured reflective material which are included in the nape zone of every Schuberth helmet ensure that the motorcyclist can be seen better, especially in twilight or at night
Improved visibility - Enhanced Safety
Enhancement of passive safety
Early recognition by other road users
Schuberth C3 Pro - Visor
Guaranteed condensation free thanks to its double glazing technology
'City position' for maximum ventilation while travelling slowly
Schubeth C3 Pro - Visor Mechanism
The EasyChange visor mechanism makes changing visors extremely quick and simple
Change of visor without tools
Schuberth C3 Pro - Integrated Sun Visor
The sun visor enables quick and individual adjustment according to light conditions.
Schuberth C3 Pro - High performance aerodynamics
The Schuberth C3 Pro has been specially designed for the riding posture on normal and sportive tours and also remains stable in the airflow at high speeds. The special shape of the helmet shell with an integrated spoiler plus an areodynamically optimised straight end edge ensure appreciably enhanced downforce. Even at higher speeds the Schuberth C3 Pro develops practically no upward lift. The Schuberth C3 Pro also offers reduced wind resistance and optimised directionally stability. With closed machines, the buffeting is also significantly minimised
Perfected aerodynamics for higher speeds
Upward lift =0
Directionally stable
No oscillatory tendency
No buffeting
Spoiler integrated into the helmet shell
Schuberth C3 Pro - Acoutics
A quiet helmet means active safety for the motorcyclist: this permits the rider to concentrate on riding - particularly at higher speeds. Many hours in the Schuberth acoustics wind tunnel have ensured that the Schuberth C3 Pro is quiet. The comprehensive acoustics package with optimised helmet shell, wind deflector and ergonomic shape of the neck padding make the Schuberth C3 Pro - at 82 dB(A) - one of the quietest helmets of all.
Acoustics package makes helmet quiet
Installation of a wind deflector enables the aeroacoustics and consequently the noise level to be improved still further
Only 82dB(A) at 100km per hour (with naked bikes)
Schuberth C3 Pro - Ventilation
The Schuberth C3 Pro is equipped with a further development of the proven C3 ventilation system. Thanks to the new design of the ventilation elements, the supply of fresh air is increased by up to 60%. The combination of multipath channels in the EPS foam shell and the head/chin/mouth ventilation ensure that fresh air is distributed effectively over the entire head area. The air channels in the inner shell direct the air which enters through the forehead ventilation well over the back of the head to the rear of the helmet. The low pressure prevailing at the rear of the helmet ensures that the internal air is constantly extracted through the air outlets and the special netting in the neck padding.
Head ventilation input (adjustable in multiple stages)
Chin vent for targeted distribution of the incoming air in the helmet
Up to 9 litres of freash air at 100km/h
Schuberth C3 Pro - O2 Ventilation
In cold weather it often occurs that with closed air supply the motorcyclists neck zone becomes sealed off by hoods, scarves or neckwarmers
The concentration of carbon dioxide inside the helmet is a key safty criterion for preventing symptoms of fatigue and the thinning of breathable air
No negative effects on health need be feared as long as the CO2 concentration remains below 3.5%
The maximum level of CO2 concentration at the workplace is 0.5%
Even when the neck zone is sealed off this helmet quarantees that CO2 concentration remains below the 0.5% limit as from the speed of approx 30 km/h
In cases where the helmet is completely sealed off by hoods, scaves, neckwarmers, the visor ought to be opened (city travel position) for safety reasons when idling, for example at traffic lights, or travelling slowly.
Schuberth C3 Pro - SRC System Ready
The Schuberth C3 Pro is by default equipped to accomadate the Schuberth C3 SRC System C3 Pro. To quarantee ideal radio reception the Schuberth C3 Pro is already equipped with two integrated antennas to boost reception and a Bluetooth connection.
