About Me: I'm in the process with other women of forming a gathering to introduce a call I received from the Divine for all women the world over.The first of these gatherings will be held in my country. I pray that as much women as possible accept the call it is critical to the welfare of the planet. Here is the ad. This event will be held on Saturday 19th March 2011 at Siegert Square, Woodbrook Port of spain Trinidad or just opposite 58 Alberto st. Woodbrook Port of Spain.THE CALL
Women of the Way is a call from Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to all women of every nation, culture, race, religion and walk of life to come together in the spirit of sisterly love and unity, to formulate and implement plans to eradicate every kind of deception, racism, exploitation, social injustice and corruption in the societies of our world, in defense of the Principal Law and Commandments of Our Divine Creator and Father in heaven.
This 'CALL' will create a platform for speakers with enlightened messages geared towards increasing the awareness of what is really happening in our world and on planet earth. Speeches that will also be geared towards bringing about the spirit of Christ Consciousness in all human beings.
We must be prepared to stand up against all forms of exploitation, corruption and deception, AT ALL COST in our world.
We must be the voice for the broken spirit and the oppressed { especially } those who have no voice.
We must be the ear that listens to those who do not have an audience.Coming Together To Discuss The CALLING
If there are issues that you feel passionate about for e.g. being a woman in today's world, family issues, social problems, social injustice, ethics in the business world and work place, situations in your country or matters of a global scale, what ever it is 'WOMEN OF THE WAY' is the platform to express whatever you feel passionately about, so long as your contribution will bring about a better understanding of what's happening in our world, around us and most important WHAT'S HAPPENING INSIDE OF US.
Everything 'under the sun' that affects our spiritual well being in one way or another is worthy of discussion. That being said, there are hundreds of topics that one can bring to the table, but of course only a certain amount of issues can be dealt with at any one meeting. However with patience, patience with one another, perseverance and moral support for each other combined with regular meetings the full purpose of the message will be realised.
P.S. God can speak through anyone of any social status, walk of life, occupation, religion, race, social background and culture.
If you are interested in coming together to speak about this message please contact the following persons

My Passions: canvas painting, spending time alone to reflect on myself, speaking to persons with like minds
My Challenges: surrendering my perception of all things and everything to the wisdom, omnipotence and infinity of Spirit.

How to Teach Online (Without Selling Your Soul)
When you teach online, it's easy to spend all your time working.
Your students are struggling, so you work harder.
You grade student work at lightning speed.
You even answer student emails on the weekend.
Some of this helps.
(Maybe – it's hard to tell for sure.)
Before long, you're utterly exhausted. Teaching online is starting to look a lot like a health hazard.
But it really doesn't have to be this hard.
There's a better way to teach online.
It starts with addressing one key problem…
Many students are simply not ready to take classes online.
No-one admits it. No-one addresses it.
But the consequences are mighty!
They include:
- Lower course completion figures
- A lot more work for you to explain e-learning fundamentals
- Negative student feedback, and
- Potential damage to your professional standing.
The bottom line is that many students need specialist help to take classes online – and succeed.
But you don't have time to provide it, right?
You already have your hands full running your classes.
Don't worry.
I've done most of the work for you!
Now you can teach online without working 24/7.
Here's a free resource that can help.
The Little Box of E-learning Miracles can show you how to teach online without sacrificing another weekend to student email.
It's a great way to start working smarter – not harder.
I'm Dr. Liz Hardy, and my mission is to make teaching online easier.
I believe that your students can take classes online (and do well!) without making a whole lot of extra work for you.
This leads to:
- Higher course completion rates
- A smaller workload, as your students become more independent
- Happy students who give positive feedback, and
- The professional recognition you deserve.
If you think teaching online means working every single day of your life, maybe you're about ready for a miracle.
Fair enough, too.
Luckily there's a whole box of e-learning miracles waiting for you right here.
Are you ready to teach online – and still have a life?

Event this Thursday, 26 June 2014 7pm-8:30 pm in Committee Room 14, House Of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA.
One of the most important events for Britain will be taking place in September: the Scots will be able to vote for independence. Yet public discussion in England has been set by political parties arguing that independence is a reactionary and retrogressive step. Red Pepper and openDemocracy are bringing Scottish independence campaigners to the heart of the establishment, Westminster parliament, to hear their case and determination to vote Yes.
Book your place for a discussion with:
Cat Boyd, Radical Independence Campaign
Pete Ramand, co-author of Yes: The Radical Case for Scottish Indpendence
Robin McAlpine, Jimmy Reid Foundation David Greig, playwright
Joyce McMillan, theatre critic
Neal Ascherson, writer
This is an opportunity to understand the importance for a whole section of the Scottish people of seizing the opportunity to establish a different state. The opposition sets a negative tone: you'll lose the pound, there will be no oil, you'll be pushed out of the EU, you will be defenceless... But what we in London have not had is any flavour of the passion and determination increasingly heard in the fervour of discussion now sweeping through Scotland.
The voices in the Yes campaign are wider and larger and more dynamic than just the SNP. Writers, dramatists, poets and artists as well as many ordinary folk are talking about their relationship to Scotland as it has developed and been expressed in the last 20 years.
A Scottish independence vote also has implications for England, and they could be liberating, opening up a dynamic to weaken the most reactionary centres of power - from the dominance of London itself, to the Treasury and the City, the monarchy and the media oligarchs.
All this is why Red Pepper and openDemocracy have organised a meeting with speakers from Scotland talking about their determination to vote Yes.
Please arrive from 6:30pm for a prompt 7pm start, and allow plenty of time to get through security at the House of Commons. Book your place.
The event is free, but please do make a donation via the ticket option above if possible, however small, so that we can cover the costs of organising this meeting including train travel from Scotland and overnight accommodation for the speakers

The separatists would surrender Scotland's identity. The EU breaks up nation states, splitting the working class for ease of exploitation. Scotland would not be independent – it would be run by Brussels and Washington.
There can be no real plan for a separate Scotland. The so-called White Paper "Scotland's Future" is in fact a vague SNP wishlist and series of wild assertions with no basis in practical reality, and no coherent ideas about how such a future could look.
The referendum gives a say about a potentially catastrophic breakaway of part of Britain only to those living in Scotland. The impact on England and Wales would be huge – there has been no debate about this. So we should all have a vote.
We know from past experience that the break-up of nations is dangerous and can lead to unpredictable consequences. Break-up can lead to the increasing assertion of narrow interests over common interests, and the loss of a sense of a collective future.
The SNP argues "We Scots didn't vote for the Coalition", but the truth is that this government was not elected at all. It was imposed on all of us. Only all of us, united, can fight for a decent future. To imagine that somehow Scotland alone can opt out of rule by finance capital is a fantasy.
We are one nation with common interests. Workers have forged the nation of Britain, its culture. All of it is our common legacy. Our common interests remain the same and are far more important than any regional differences.
Alasdair 24 June 2014, 02.43
This comment is for Frankie:
Frankie, where exactly is this 'one nation' with 'common interests'? We Scots have systematically been rejecting the values and policies of Westminster for too many years and then being subjected to either Tory or Labour(ed) governments which did not have our mandate. Unfortunately, your statement is ultimately saying that it's impossible to believe that an independent Scottish government couldn't be expected to serve a different agenda than the corporate finance industry, which apparently you also are opposed to. However, Frankie, that's pessimistic- we do choose to try and create an alternative priority. We have been choosing an alternative for many years already but we can't change much unless Scotland has more control over its own direction and that's why to forsake the opportunity of independence would be a tragedy not just for Scotland but for everyone in the UK. We can all do better than the Westminster political elite and we Scots haven't been as duped as south of the border. We have confidence in Holyrood and we have confidence (but not tinted glasses either) in the kinds of politically credible leaders which we have in the SNP, the Green party and the Socialist party.
The 'collective future' you speak of is just ever more bankruptcy for ordinary people as they struggle with low wages, insecure jobs, increasing inflation and absurd house prices and rents. And who's created that mess but successive Westminster governments.
Westminster= The City Finance industry.
Voting no is voting to continue to be exploited by neo liberal economics and increasing gaping social inequality and the neglect of productive parts of our economy. It's voting not to invest in education and our people. It's voting not to choose to demand that when we consistently vote for left of centre egalitarian values, we get Thatcherite values.
Voting for yes to independence isn't going to change society over night but it is a vote for hope for a different and more progressive future and I for one, know solidly whom I would trust and it's YES for SCOTLAND and thereby YES for everyone else in the UK to see that there is an alternative and why shouldn't we try and create that alternative.
Scotland will vote yes- it's INEVITABLE. Hope always beats desperation.
Will Podmore 25 June 2014, 11.26
Capitalism has no mandate anywhere in Britain. Every worker in Britain suffers policies we never voted for. None of us voted for lower wages, deindustrialisation, or the destruction of the NHS.
It's not the union that has devastated large parts of England, Scotland and Wales, brought slump after slump, and is cutting our wages. Capitalism, not the union, is the enemy.
The nationalists attack the wrong enemy – the union, 'the English', London, fellow-workers who back the union. No worker should waste time and energy charging up the nationalist cul-de-sac.
Unity is independence. Scotland in an independent united Britain will be stronger, better off and more independent than it would be as just the EU's 29th dependency.
Only a united working class can save Britain. United we stand, divided we fall.
The referendum must be a vote of confidence in Britain as a united, independent country. Why vote to become smaller and weaker?
Iain P 25 June 2014, 15.11
I do not understand these comments where you say 'look there are terrible things happening – centralisation of power, rampant capitalism, etc' Then you suggest that the one nation that can actually do something about it, doesn't. Why?
Vain self-interest seems to be the only answer. This 'we're all in it together' mantra really cannot justify why you would want people who don't need to consider the neo-liberal policies of Westminster doing exactly that as you have some idealistic view of what life should be like.
Back in the real world, the Tories are increasing austerity, the Labour party are rushing to join them, inequality grows by the day and the public services we cherish are under constant threat.
Scotland has the opportunity to democratically change the landscape – that is to be applauded.
Will Podmore 27 June 2014, 13.35
Iain P writes of 'the one nation that can actually do something about it', presumably meaning Scotland. Oh, so you completely write off all prospects of progress by the people of England and Wales then?
Then you accuse those who disagree with you of 'vain self-interest'.
Don't you think the SNP has neo-liberal policies? Its Fiscal Commission Working Group's First Report, Macroeconomic Framework, said, "Wage and price flexibility can help facilitate changes in relative production costs and competitiveness." That is, it aims to cut wages.
The SNP government has cut funding for further education, allowed the banks to cut their lending to new and small businesses, and allowed takeovers that have destroyed jobs and value.
So the SNP is increasing 'austerity' (let's call it what it is – poverty), it is increasing inequality by the day and it is threatening the public services we cherish.
Putting power into the hands of the Scottish capitalists who back the SNP is not progressive and not democratic.
Eric Dodd 4 July 2014, 14.54
Will Podmore : You're being incredibly selective ! The FCWG published it's 226 page 'First Report – Macroeconomic Framework' in Feb 2013.
The Commission – Professor Sir James Mirlees, Nobel Laureate, Professor Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate, Professor Frances Ruane, and Professor Andrew Hughes Hallett – was asked in mid-2012 to go away and use their huge experience and knowledge to produce a series of economic proposals that would benefit BOTH countries, and could be implemented on day one of Scottish independence.
The Commission wrote a lot more that the couple of things you've mentioned – including the alternatives should Westminster attempt to destroy the Scottish economy out of spite (and seriously damage the rUK economy in the process). If you actually read that and the other three Commission reports you'll know that.
That report was largely ignored by the MSM and it's effectively been suppressed (like YesScotland) ever since , and this has allowed unionist politicians and commentators to label the proposals 'Salmond's plans' – and abuse and personalisation always follows.
It's never stopped, and those politicians and 'talking heads' are effectively calling four of the planet's most highly regarded and experienced economists 'delusional', 'economically illiterate', and that their proposals were 'written on the back of a cigarette packet' !!
But apart from that, the independence campaign is much more than the SNP.
That's why the media and unionists have peddled the lie that 'it's all about Salmond and the SNP' – they don't want people (and you it seems) to find out about the 850,000 (and rising) member Yes Scotland, the hundred-plus affiliated organisations, the many hundreds of local 'YesScotland' groups all run, organised, and funded by ordinary people who have never been involved in ANY kind of campaign before.
My own group is typical. A small town of around 7,000 in rural Scotland, but we have almost 100 very active Yes Scotland campaigners – and only 7 of them are SNP.
I know there are a few Greens, but the others ? I have no idea because it's never been discussed !
The Advisory Board of Yes Scotland has only one SNP member (Nicola Sturgeon), and the joint leaders are Denis Canavan (not SNP) and Blair Jenkins (non-political).
Yet we repeatedly hear Salmond being referred to as 'the leader of Yes Scotland' by unionist politicians, journalists, and presenters.
True, there's much in the WP that most agree with, but we (not you) know that it's the SNP's 'vision', and that a Yes vote will result in a new and genuine Scottish 'Labour Party', a new Liberal Party, and many more new faces taking their seats in the first independent Scottish parliament in 2016.
We'll probably see folk like Robin McAlpine (Reid Foundation and Common Weal Project), Alan Grogan and Willie MacDonald (Labour For Independence), a few from Radical Independence, Business For Scotland, and other groups.
There'll be more Greens, and a 'conservative party' that will put Scotland and it's people first rather than a Westminster elite.
The Parliament will be genuinely representative.
It's already VERY different : Last time I checked only ONE from 23 SNP 'Ministers' went to a private school, with the rest attending schools like Tynecastle High and Forrester (both comprehensives). Labour is much the same.
It will be different, progressive, broadly left of centre, and the people will be sovereign.
Hopefully people in England (and like an estimated 100,000 members of Yes Scotland, 6 SNP MSP's, one SNP MP, and at least 12 of my local group – I'm English) will realise that there is a working, functioning, and pragmatic alternative to what we have at Westminster – but that it will mean new parties and a media that is genuinely honest and unbiased.
There IS an genuine alternative to UKIP and the three right wing parties at Westminster.
It just hasn't been born yet.
Will Podmore 7 July 2014, 12.32
Eric, thank you for your intelligent and thoughtful comments. I did indeed 'select' the Fiscal Commission Working Group's comment, "Wage and price flexibility can help facilitate changes in relative production costs and competitiveness."
Why did I choose this statement? Because it reveals that they recommend wage flexibility, which, as we all know, means lower wages. It also shows their basic commitment to a neoliberal programme.
I would never stoop to calling four of the planet's most highly regarded and experienced economists 'delusional' or 'economically illiterate', or say that their proposals were 'written on the back of a cigarette packet'.
I am quite aware that many outside the SNP support the break-up of Britain, e.g. the Scottish Socialist Party, the Socialist Workers Party, the Communist Party of Scotland, the Green Party
and many independent activists.
All your energy would be far better spent in fighting capitalism, which is run by and for the finance capitalists of London, Frankfurt and Edinburgh. The referendum in Scotland is an attempt to turn the growing desire in Britain to be an independent nation into its opposite, for Britain to be partitioned instead, which would be bad for all of us. Splitting the British working class aids only the capitalist class.

"8. Do not ask too many questions in one thread. Do not ask more than two questions in a post. "
Alright, so I have my test review in my hand. This semester's instructor doesn't use coursecompass and the demo class we get is useless. He also doesn't answer questions over e-mail. This was fine and all back in the day that there were study groups for calculus up at my school, but there aren't any now. SO! End rant.
Have answers to the first two, it seems!
The first problem I have a problem with, the answer is 16pi/7 . The problem is:
1. "Find the volume of the solid formed when the region bounded by the curves y = x^3+1 , x=1, and y=0 is rotated about the X axis".
My problem is I never really got the concepts of what to do where and when. I graph it 2 dimensionally, I get a shape sort of like a curved rhombus. I get to pick what method I use for this.
I think, using the disk method, x^3+1 would be the disk radius and the differential volume would be dv=pi*(x^3+1)^2 dx. Am I right so far? Here I get totally lost.
How would I use the shell method here?
2. "Find the surface area of a solid formed by rotating the region bounded by x^3/9, the X axis, and 0 <= x <= 2 about the X-axis" , the answer for this is 98pi/81. I'm missing the same concept from the first one.
3. "The base of a solid is the parabolic region {(x,y)|y^2 <=x<=1} Cross sections perpendicular to the X-axis are squares. Find the volume." The answer is 2.
I've never seen that syntax before and I have no idea what he's asking.
4. "Find the total hydraulic force on a dam in the shape of an equilateral triangle with one vertex pointing down, if the side of the triangle is 100 feet and the water is even with the top. delta = 62 lb/ft^3, P= F/A, P = delta*h" Answer is 7,775,000 LB.
I'll be honest, I do not have enough of a concept of what's going on here. I know we're talking about a triangle with points at x=-100, x=100, and y=-100. I know somewhere in this I use the integral from A to B of w*( strip depth ) * L(y), but I'm sitting here with the verbatim what he worked in class and don't know what's happening.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks guys!
The shape of a solid of revolution can be thought of as a number of small cylinders being stuck together. So its volume can be approximated by summing the volumes of these cylinders. As you make the height of each cylinder smaller and increase the number of cylinders, the approximation converges on the exact volume.
If you are rotating about the axis, the radius of each cylinder at any point is equal to the corresponding value, and call the height of this cylinder , because the height of this cylinder is a small change in .
So the volume of this cylinder is .
The volume of your shape is the sum of all these cylinder volumes, so
and as you make each cylinder's heights smaller and create an infinite sum of cylinders, the sum converges on an integral and the approximation becomes exact.
So , where are the endpoints of .
Do you think you can do Q1 now?
If you choose two close points and , then each cylinder will have a radius of , where corresponds to .
Call the height of this cylinder , which is the distance between and .
By Pythagoras, , where is the change in and is the change in .
Therefore, the curved surface area of each cylinder is
So the surface area of the solid of revolution is
which, as you make small and increase the number of cylinders, this approximation becomes exact and the sum converges on an integral.
So , where are the endpoints of .
Can you do Q2 now?
Got #1. My limits were off. For some reason I went off and took the place where the graph intersects X=1 ( Y=2 ) as my upper limit of integration. Hence my problem.
Just to overcomplicate it and get the concept, how would I go after it using the shell method? It starts off as The
integral from 0 to 2 of 2pi*(x^3+1)...then I lose the shell height. ( P.S., mixing these methods is what stubbed me in the toe. )
On #2...using the definition of the area of a surface, S=Integral of A to B of 2pi*y* sqrt(1+dy/dx)^2), I got
2pi * the integral from 0 to 2 of x^3/9*sqrt(1+(x^2/3)^2) which is equal to 98pi/81.
Thanks guys! Do I need to create a new thread for 3 and 4?

July 5th
Tynwald Ceremony
On July 5 on Tynwald Hill, St. John's, Isle of Man, the people gather to celebrate an old Norse assembly system established more than 1,000 years ago. The ceremony still takes place on the old Norse field of assembly at St. John's, near the center of the island, where there stands the ancient circular Tynwald Hill, 12 feet high and surrounded by four concentric steps or platforms. It is believed that the hill is atop an old burial mound that made it a place of Celtic gatherings where the Old Midsummer rites (July 5) were held during Pagan times.
From the chapel nearby, the queen's Lieutenant Governor leads the Tynwald's procession to the hill, on a path strewn with green rushes, a survival of offerings to the sea God, Manannan. Once at the hill, there is the reading of old laws as new ones are presented. As each new law is read, it is followed by loud shouts and cheers. This custom prevails today. Before the lieutenant governor can sign a law into effect, he must wait for the assent of the people.

Doc: debugging with logcat
A bit about logcat
So for all of you who don't know about
adb logcat, it's probably time we talked about it.
When Android is running, it's generating all kinds of system messages. You see, programmers/developers can optionally output status information (or errors or debugging notes) in real-time to a system log, and Android itself sends all kinds of useful information out that way.
But if there's a running log going on at all times, how do you see it?
If you're connected via ADB (via a USB cable or whatever), try typing
adb logcat into your computer. The output to your terminal window, which can be interrupted with ^C (control + C), is a real-time look at Android's operation.
So, let's say you're experiencing a boot loop and want to get an idea of what's going on "under the hood". It can't hurt to peek with
adb logcat. Even if it just looks like gobbledygook, you can copy and paste the output (usually the errors will be obvious if you sit down and look-- stuff like "ERROR!!!!!" may appear) to a site like pastebin.com (although make sure that you're not pasting personal information such as local network addresses or anything sensitive, which occasionally will appear in the log). That way, you can show people the problem (via a link) for further discussion, debugging, etc.
Anyway, from now on-- instead of just saying "Help! I'm bootlooping!", maybe say "Help! I'm bootlooping, and here's a link to the logcat!"
Why is it called "logcat"? Here's my guess. In Unix (and Linux), there's a command called "
cat" (short for "concatenate files and print on the standard output" if you can believe it) that is used to view the contents of multiple files together, but it is often (ab)used to view the contents of a single file. So cat is kind of like a verb, in this context. You can try
cat a-file-name.txt from the Terminal of any Unix-like operating system (including Linux and OS X), and it'll spew out the file's contents to you. So "
logcat" is I guess "spew out (
cat) the contents of the log."
Bonus Command!: If you're using Linux or OS X and want to view a file from the terminal, but don't like how cat filename.txt spews the contents at you nonstop, try using
more filename.txt instead. (I'll leave it to you to figure how it works.)
Original Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21353661&postcount=1570
Advanced usage
By priority
adb logcat offers extra functionality to filter logs based on priority. The usage is
adb logcat *:# where
# is one of the following.
V Verbose (show all possibly useless logs, default level) D Debug (show all reasonable debug logs) I Info (show expected logs for regular usage) W Warn (show possible issues that are not yet errors) E Error (show issues that have caused errors) F Fatal (show issues that are fatal to runtime and will often result in rebooting)
All priorities automatically include higher priorities, so
adb logcat *:W will show warnings, errors and fatal errors. When an app crashes, for example, you can usually use
adb logcat *:E to see the cause of the issue without having to look through irrelevant debug logging. However, when providing logs to developers make sure to include all logging (without any filtering tag) because debugging logs can often explain the error.
By Content
You can also filter by content. Let's say you want to collect all lines of the log that mention the term "Google". You can do this:
$ adb logcat | grep Google
This command takes the output of "logcat" (all the junk) and "pipes" it to the
grep command, which is used to search for "Google" and will only return lines that include it.
Helpful Tip
Note the pipe "|" character is not the same as a capital "I", a lowercase "L", the number "1", or a random graphical unicode glyph of a vertical line. On US keyboards, the pipe often created by holding down the Shift key and pressing the "\" key. The pipe character is used to take the output of one command and "pipe" it through to the input of the next command. In this case the output of
adb logcat becomes the input of
If you want to make your search case-insensitive, you can just add the
-i argument:
$ adb logcat | grep -i Google
This will return log lines that have "Google", "google", "gOoGlE" and any other combination of upper and lowercase characters.
adb logcat -C can be used to show logs with color to make them easier to read when viewing.
If you are not satified with the -C parameter, other possibilities are using external color logcat scripts or writing your own.
- Colored logcat by Jeff Sharkey (Git here, Blog post here)
- logcat-color by Marshall Culpepper (Git here)
If you find your screen is getting spammed with log messages you don't want, but you still need verbose logging, you can use
adb logcat -c to clear the log buffer. This will reset the log and only logs after the reset will be shown.
Logcat for Bugtracker
On device
This will generate a logcat on your sdcard which you can then attatch to a bug you want to report.
- Open Console Application of your choice (CM <=11.0 comes with 'Terminal Emulator' preinstalled; CM >=12.0 has 'Terminal' that you can turn on in Developer Options)
- Switch to root (type
suand confirm root access) (You may have to turn on root access for apps in Developer Options)
- Type
logcat -d -f /sdcard/logcat.log *:V
- Alternatively the radio buffer can be viewed with
logcat -b radio
-d makes it dump the logcat -f tell it where to save the log to *:V gets all Logs in Verbose mode
Run the logcat command after duplicating the issue you want to report.
Due to changes Google made in the internal APIs of Android starting with CM 10.0/Android 4.1 (Jellybean), you will need root permission for apps on the device to access the full logcat (the apps are now limited to only the logs generated by themselves). To do this with the built-in Terminal Emulator, you just need to type
su and hit enter before you run the logcat command.

March Madness isn't just about the blue bloods of college basketball.
Part of the joy of the tournament each year comes from discovering schools that you never knew existed and falling in love with them for three-to-four days (sometimes longer) before they succumb to higher-seeded, more talented foes.
With that sentiment in mind, meet the Long Island University (LIU) Brooklyn Blackbirds, the No. 16 seed in the West region of this year's NCAA tournament.
A tall task awaits LIU Brooklyn in Columbus, Ohio, where they take on a perennial title contender in Michigan State. But dismissing the Blackbirds as just another No. 16 seed that will get trucked in the first round would be disrespectful.
LIU Brooklyn has won 52 games and consecutive Northeast Conference titles the past two seasons and owns a 27-game home winning streak—second in Division I only to Kentucky.
So why should the Blackbirds be your March Madness darlings this year?

Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups
Cancer Clinical Trials Offered at Boulder Community Health
At Boulder Community Health we are proud to make clinical trials accessbile to our cancer patients. Many of the trials we offer are the very same studies offered at major US cancer centers such as the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota or MD Anderson in Texas. Through partnerships with our oncologists – Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers – and the Colorado Cancer Research Program (CCRP), a non-profit organization founded in 1983 and approved and supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), we can connect patients, locally, with close to 100 varied clinical trials. Many of the treatments offered through CCRP have become standard therapies for major forms of cancer, such as breast, colon, leukemia, lung and prostate. As Dr. Eduardo Pajon, Principal Investigator for CCRP likes to say, "Today's cancer treatments were yesterday's clinical trials."
Clinical trials, also known as research studies, test ways to treat people with cancer. The goal of this research is to find better ways to treat cancer and help cancer patients.
Clinical trials test many types of treatment such as new drugs, new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy, new combinations of treatments or new methods such as gene therapy.
A clinical trial is one of the final stages of a long and careful cancer research process. The search for new treatments begins in the laboratory, where scientists first develop and test new ideas.
If an approach seems promising, the next step may be testing a treatment in animals to see how it affects cancer in a living being and whether it has harmful effects. Of course, treatments that work well in the lab or on animals do not always work well in people. Studies are done with cancer patients to find out whether promising treatments are safe and effective.
We encourage you to access the following web sites for more information on Cancer Clinical Trials:
Each clinical trial has an action plan (protocol) that explains how it will work. Each doctor that takes part uses the same protocol.
For patient safety, each protocol must be approved by the organization that sponsors the study, such as the National Cancer Institute, and by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at each hospital or other study site. The IRB, which includes consumers, clergy and health professionals, reviews the protocol to try to be sure that the research will not expose patients to extreme or unethical risks.
Three Phases of Clinical Trials
Cancer clinical trials include research in three different phases. Each phase answers different questions about the new treatment.
Phase I: trials are the first step in testing a new treatment in humans.
Phase II: trials focus on learning whether the new treatment has an anticancer effect.
Phase III: trials compare the results of people taking the new treatment with the results of people taking standard treatment (e.g., which group has better survival rates? fewer side effects?). In most cases, studies move into Phase III testing only after a treatment shows promise in Phases I and II. Thousands of people around the country may be included in Phase III trials.
Clinical Trials at Boulder Community Health (BCH)
BCH clinical trials are primarily Phase III treatment trials.
Protocols available at BCH include, but are not limited to:
Existing protocols close frequently and new protocols open frequently.
Questions to Ask
Anyone considering a clinical trial should feel free to ask any questions or bring up any issues concerning the trial at any time.
The following suggestions may give you some ideas as you think about your own questions.

Christmas is almost upon us and fans are settling in to enjoy a glut of football over the festive period. With a packed schedule of fixtures from now until the new year—and with the transfer window opening in January—clubs are immersed in one of the busiest periods of the season, both on and off the pitch.
So, to help them out, I've compiled a wish-list on their behalf for submission to jolly old St Nick. I'm sure every club would ask for Lionel Messi on a free transfer, but for this list I've settled on needs rather than wants.
Unless they've been naughty, of course. Santa doesn't look kindly on those who have received eight game bans for racist comments.

Lean or rich
Im going through the process of tuning my carb and I purchased one of the Edlebrock air/fuel meters with the weld in oxygen sensor. I've been working on this for a few days and think everything looks good at least according to the O2 sensor. I just pulled the plugs and thier white as can be. I can't understand how the O2 sensor can give one reading and the plugs another. The O2 sensor is installed exactly where the directions say. I need to emmission the car by the end of the month and don't think it's gonna pass. Any help would be appreciated.
I live in Florida and the emission test were stoped a few years ago, but you can get almost any pre 1980 car passed by seting the timing on 0 and lean the mixtute down if your are border line change the oil or unplug the P.C.V. valve. Good Luck. JF
A/F ratio gauges are fairly worthless IMO, unless you are running a wideband O2 sensor. Wideband O2's are fairly expensive and rather delicate, so it doesn't make much sense to install one of these.
The gauge will NEVER give you a real time view of your stoich, but instead will display a latent "trend" of how your mixture is.
Like I said though, do not rely on the gauge to give an accurate description of your air/fuel. I have one installed on my t-bird, and when I first got it, I thought it was something I HAD to have to make sure I wasn't going lean. Now, it's nothing more than a pretty LED that sweeps from side to side. Dashboard decoration.
Believe what your plugs tell you and not what the gauge tells you.
The evil penguin wrangler knows of what he speaks.:laugh:
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
If you are going to run an AF meter, then you need to look into a good one. The $30 ebay jobs are, as stated earlier, worthless. I think an Auto Meter will run around $100-150 and you are still seeing what the ratio was. I would say that this is not all together worthless. It can give you a good idea of what is happening at wide open throttle. It is not perfect though.
Thanks for the help guys.

The Garbage Patch State, the away state
The Garbage Patch State® - a performance installation by Italian artist Maria Cristina Finucci - is on show on 11 April 2013 in Paris at the Maison de l'UNESCO, salle des pas perdus. Following an invitation by Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, and Maurizio Serra, Ambassador, Permanent Delegate of Italy to UNESCO, the event is open to the public.
This project has been put in place thanks to the collaboration of the University Ca' Foscari of Venice and the sponsorship of the Italian Ministry of the Environment, with the support of the University of Rome. The Garbage Patch to be symbolically recognized as a federal state rises in the middle of the oceans. It is a territory that comprises five areas of man-made rubbish scattered in the North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic and Indian Ocean. Land-based sources - such as agricultural run-off, discharge of nutrients and pesticides and untreated sewage including plastics - account for approximately 80% of marine pollution, globally. Marine habitats worldwide are contaminated with man-made debris. The Garbage Patch is one of the most serious forms of pollution caused by humankind.

COLUMBUS, OH – The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft encourages boaters to enjoy fireworks shows and to stay sober and boat safely on the July 4th holiday weekend, which represents among the busiest boating weekends of the year.
Accidents happen quickly on the water and often come with no warning, which makes staying alert, staying sober and keeping a proper lookout for swimmers, objects in the water and other boaters a top priority. Properly wearing a life jacket also saves lives.
Here are some basic safety tips to follow anytime while boating and enjoying fireworks shows while on the water:
- Stay sober. Boat operators, like motorists, are considered legally impaired and may be arrested if their blood alcohol content is .08 or greater.
- Stay alert. Drug usage also poses safety risks for boaters, especially when drugs are abused in combination with alcohol.
- Keep a proper lookout. Operator inattention and failing to keep a proper lookout while operating a boat, especially at night, are among the leading causes of boating-related accidents.
- Enjoy fireworks from a safe distance to the shore and in proximity to other boats on the water. Be sure your navigation lights are in proper working order.
- Swim safe. Some boating-related fatalities result from swimming accidents. Boaters should always properly wear a life jacket while boating and while swimming in combination with their boating activities.
- Stay weather-wise. Capsizing incidents can occur when boats become overloaded and when they become swamped. Sometimes this is due to poor boating conditions such as high winds and choppy waters. Keep alert to all weather forecasts.
Boating safety tips and other boating program information is available online at www.ohiodnr.com.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR web site at www.ohiodnr.com.

They secure plenty of alcohol, marijuana, blow-up dolls, and food. They also briefly run afoul of a drug dealer named T-Rick (RICK SHAPIRO), who becomes irate after Thomas, Costa, and JB steal his prized garden gnome (prized because it holds a secret stash of Ecstasy pills).
Thomas is hoping to score with his dream girl, Alexis (ALEXIS KNAPP), at the party. Costa and JB are looking to score -- period. It's not long before the party spins completely out of control as word spreads. Soon, hundreds of teens and young adults are seen crowding the street of Thomas' neighborhood, police and SWAT teams in riot gear begin amassing in force, news choppers start flying overhead, T-Rick shows up with a flame thrower, and police in riot gear start amassing. Amid the chaos, Thomas finds himself falling in love with Kirby (KIRBY BLISS BLANTON), the nice girl he's known all his life.
But that's me at 41...a husband, a father, a homeowner. Watching a movie in which three high school kids (Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper, and Jonathan Daniel Brown) throw a house party that mushrooms to include 1,500 high-school and college-age kids (and a couple of sad, forty-something dudes spread throughout) getting drunk, wasted, and high and causes the destruction of multiple homes and vehicles is just not as much fun as it would have been when I was 17 or 18. However, if I was 17 or 18, I would probably love this flick. It will probably be playing at house parties, in dorm rooms, and frat houses for years to come. I hope the studio's legal department is prepared.
The plot is pretty standard. Three high-school losers want to get popular (and get lucky), so they throw a party. One of the three, Thomas (Mann), is your standard Michael Cera type (in my day, it was John Cusack or Anthony Michael Hall). He's not a nerd of the horn-rimmed glasses and pocket-protector type. He's just a decent, unremarkable kid who has never been the best looking, the most athletic, or the funniest kid in the class. His best friend, Costa (Cooper) is your typical "walking hormone" type, whose every thought, word, and deed revolves around getting sex, getting high, and getting popular. They're both friends with JB (Brown) your standard, pudgy loser type.
As much as "Project X" tries to be an example of extreme cinema, it's a pretty safe, uninspired movie with personalities that you never really root for. At the end of movies like "American Pie" and "Sixteen Candles," you came to really like those kids who partied too hard and woke up the next morning forever changed. You laughed at their deeds and misdeeds. Some of the things they did were disgusting, yes. But you were always on their side.
"Project X" is a movie that seems to be a bit at war with itself. It wants to be the traditional "geeks-make-good" movie a la "Superbad" or "Revenge of the Nerds." But it also wants its audience to revel in how nasty their behavior is and how badly they treat each other. You, the viewer, are not so much cheering for these guys to find true love and acceptance. You're being positioned to root for them to vomit, to break bones, to get arrested, to get "messed up." That's not as much fun.
Silly me. I briefly thought this film would have some guts, though. I hoped that it wouldn't go easy on its characters by the time the end credits rolled a la "The Hangover" movies. I mean, if you're going to make a movie about a party that starts with a few dozen high-school kids and explodes to include over 1,000 drunken young people fighting the police and dodging a crazed drug dealer with a flamethrower, it seemed likely there would real consequences at the end. But this flick totally "wimps" out in its resolution. It goes so soft late in its running that I half-expected the flick to end with Thomas on a glass table giving his new girlfriend a smooch over a lit birthday cake.
But, again, this is not a movie for a forty-something man deathly afraid of what lies ahead for his precious seven-year-old daughter who, in his eyes, is as pure as the driven snow. I guess these films eventually become rites of passage of sorts. But I can't in good conscience sign off on it. At best, I give "Project X" a 3.5 out of 10.

Dance Central ReviewBy Dana Vinson - Posted Nov 03, 2010
While the lack of various modes can make it feel bare bones at times, there's no denying that the core gameplay in Dance Central is amazing. Harmonix has developed a seriously killer game that not only showcases Kinect, but is also f&$king fun as hell to play. Dance Central will get you up off the couch, moving and, dare I say grooving, no matter who you are.
The Pros
- Incredibly fun dance moves
- Kinect does a great job of tracking your movements
- The game's difficulty level ramps up, making you want to play it again and again
The Cons
- Lacks a career mode
- No ability to string songs together and perform them back to back
- Only one player can dance at a time, even during multiplayer battles
Dance Central Review:
Once you pass a certain age, there's nothing more embarrassing than dancing in public. I watch toddlers run around with reckless abandon, dancing their little Pull-Ups off and envy their ability to totally ignore the fact that they look like out of control skydivers. Sure, you could flip on the stereo and do the Elaine in your underwear in private, but it's hard to shake the sense that you constantly look silly, if only to yourself.
Adults, I have good news: Dance Central is here to save you from yourselves.
I Know You Want Me, But Do I Want You?
From Harmonix (the people who brought you the majesty that is Rock Band), comes Dance Central. In Dance Central, you dance. A lot. Animated dancers perform moves on screen, while players mirror their movements in front of Kinect, the motion-sensing camera that tracks your every movement in 3D space. There are also flashcards that scroll up the right side of the screen that let you know what moves are coming up. The game rates you on how well you perform the moves in time with the music and how accurately you replicate the actions on screen.
When you fail to perform the right move, or perform the right move at the wrong time, the offending body part will glow red on your on screen counterpart, alerting you to your mistake. If you make too many in a row, the colors on the screen will be come muted and the music will go wonky. Once you get back on track, everything will return to full strength. If you hit a streak of flawless moves, your surroundings will be transformed into a super hip dance club.
I just made it sound more complicated than it is, but it really just boils down to FUN FUN FUN FUN. You dance. The nice little computer tells you how to dance and then you do it. You may think, "But I'm not a dancer!" It really doesn't matter, because as long as you can mirror the movements of the character on screen, you'll have a blast. I am the klutziest Amazon woman (It's well documented; I have fallen down while standing still.) in the world and even I can rock out some flawless moves in Dance Central.
Dance Central is a double threat: you can either treat it like a party game by inviting your friends over and having a dance party or you can go hardcore and plow through the songs yourself, mastering every (increasingly difficult) dance move.
In terms of a party game, Dance Central is perfect. It's just as entertaining to watch other people flail around as it is to do it yourself. The one downside to using it as a party game is that only player can dance at a time. You can have multiple people in the frame; however, the game will only score the player closest to the Kinect. There is a Dance Battle option, which will pit you against another player, but you will have to take turns dancing one at a time. The game does a good job of prompting you to change out and the Kinect will instantly recognize when a new player is entering the game. The winner of the battle is the player who scores the most points.
When looking at it from a single player perspective, Dance Central offers the chance for a rich experience because of the way the game ramps up the difficulty. There are three modes for every song, Easy, Medium and Hard and the game does not pull any punches when it comes to making you sweat. Even though anyone with the desire to dance can jump in at the Easy level and learn as they play, if you want to progress through the songs on Medium and Hard, you're going to have to put in the time to learn the steps and play them over and over again to get the best score. It's fun to compete against yourself and push yourself to become better over time. I found myself getting seriously into it and treating it like I was trying out for Fame.
Either way you look at it, the choreography in the game is great and the moves are mixed up quite a bit, so you always feel like you're doing something new. Whether you're just looking to dance the night away or you're looking to own the leaderboards, you'll have an extreme amount of fun.
You'll also sweat, like buckets of sweat. It's nice that Dance Central offers a Workout Mode, but it's hardly needed. You're already working out just by playing it. All Workout Mode does when you turn it on is prompt you to enter your weight (depressing) and then will tick off the calories you burn while playing each song. It keeps a running tally, as long as you don't back out to main menu. If you do that, you have to enter your weight again and the counter will go back to zero. It's annoying that the information isn't linked to your gamertag, but it's not a deal breaker.
Crank That!
If you want to actually score points, you're going to, at some point, need to enter Break It Down mode. Using Break It Down is your chance to learn everything step by step and then put it together using the in-tutorial recaps. Break It Down mode is extremely useful for learning the moves, but more importantly, it helps you work on the transitions between moves. Since this is a dance routine, it's designed to flow from one move to the next and you'll lose precious points if you don't hit those transitions accurately.
While Break It Down is helpful, I found it lacked the features to tell me how I was doing a move incorrectly. You can slow each move down and the voice over will tell you want you are supposed to be doing, but as the moves got more complicated, I found myself failing steps that I seemed to be doing right. The only feedback you get is the glowing limb on the screen and that doesn't help when you're pretty sure that you're doing the move correctly and at the correct pace. What would have been perfect is some sort of specific feedback about what you're doing incorrectly, or if you could play a video of an actual human being doing the move, preferably with their back towards the camera. This would have given players a sense of what it was supposed to look like in real time, with a real person.
Instead, players will find themselves experimenting with different things until they find one that allows them to pass the move. Also frustrating is the fact that you have to go through the whole song in Break It Down mode. You may only be having trouble mastering one specific move in the game, but in order to practice, you're going to have to slowly go through all the moves just to get to it.
What The Hell is a Galang?
As you play through and beat the songs in the game, you'll unlock extras like new locations, new outfits for you dancers and "No Flashcard" versions of the songs. The song list is laid out in order of difficulty, so you'll start with the easier songs and slowly progress to the harder ones. Every five songs, you'll unlock challenges that take pieces of each song you just played and combines them together. These challenges are enjoyable little landmarks on your journey to becoming a dance machine.
However, there is little to the journey besides dancing. The lack of any real career mode stands out as a glaring omission. There is no story here and even though you rank up by earning points, the ranks don't really mean that much, because there's no frame or context to them. In 2010, it seems like a no-brainer that some sort of story mode would be included with a rhythm game of this caliber, but sadly, it's totally missing.
There are other things missing in Dance Central, not just a story mode. For example, you can't string songs together for one continuous dance session. Playlists seem like something simple to implement -- especially for Harmonix -- but you won't see that functionality in Dance Central.
Has Anyone Seen Lady Gaga's Keys And Phone?
While the lack of various modes can make it feel bare bones at times, there's no denying that the core gameplay in Dance Central is amazing. Harmonix has developed a seriously killer game that not only showcases Kinect, but is also f&$king fun as hell to play. Dance Central will get you up off the couch, moving and, dare I say grooving, no matter who you are.

A retired priest who faces criminal charges accusing him of molesting a young boy at a Costa Mesa church about 18 years ago waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Thursday, a county prosecutor said.
That means that Denis Lyons, 76, of Seal Beach, removed from ministry in 2002 because of sex abuse allegations, acknowledges that sufficient evidence exists for the case to proceed to a criminal trial, according to Deputy District Attorney Heather Brown.
Judges usually weigh some evidence during a preliminary hearing, then decide if a case should go to trial. Some defendants, such as Lyons in this case, decide not to undergo such hearings and head straight to trial.
Lyons is accused of molesting a boy between January 1992 and December 1995 at St. John the Baptist Catholic School, prosecutors said. The boy was a second and third grade student, and the molestation allegedly occurred in rectory and sacristy of the adjoining church, they added.
Lyons, who is out on $100,000 bail, is charged with four felony counts of lewd conduct with a child younger than 14, along with a sentencing enhancement of committing substantial sexual conduct.
His case is set for felony arraignment June 21. He faces 14 years in prison if convicted of the charges.
Lyons has escaped criminal charges in the past. In 2003, he was charged with molesting another male youth between 1978 and 1981 at St. John the Baptist. Those charges had to be thrown out because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that invalidated prosecutions of some older sex crimes.
Lyons' conduct has been costly for the church. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange has paid more than $4 million to settle sex-abuse claims regarding Lyons.
He first admitted to inappropriate behavior with two adults in 1979. The diocese put Lyons in counseling, and then administrative leave in 2002 when he was assigned to St. Edward Church in Dana Point. That year, he was removed from ministry.
In February 2009, the diocese settled the most recent sex-abuse lawsuit against Lyons for an undisclosed amount. A 25-year-old Fountain Valley man, a former student at St. John the Baptist, sued the Diocese and accused Lyons of abusing him at the church.

Despite the cold, it was a good ski season
It was spring skiing safari time last weekend, and the destination was Mt. Snow. Vt., with sidekick Skyler, 5, ("Almost 6!" ) along for the adventure. For her, it is not about the waning of the ski season, it is just another opportunity to have fun outdoors.
She has come a long way on skis this winter, moving up from mostly "a piece of pizza" (snowplow technique) on novice slopes to "French fries" (parallel skiing) on intermediate trails. And she loves her days on the hill.
We were in for a surprise this time. Instead of soft snow and a relaxing time on the ski deck that you would expect at this time of year, it was mid-winter conditions on the hill — great mid winter conditions — with packed powder, no crunch underfoot and snow coverage top to bottom, side to side over the whole mountain layout. Even the glade trails still had full cover.
It wasn't sunscreen weather, but it was certainly comfortable, especially compared to what we have had earlier this winter. Based on what we experienced, unless we get warm rain in the next couple of weeks, April is going to offer the best spring skiing we've seen in years.
We deserve it.
With comfortable day-time temperatures, ski surfaces soften up and make the mountains easy to maneuver. Then, as the temperatures drop after dark, the snow cover firms up and groomers can prepare the surface like new for the morning. As a bonus this time of year, many people, especially those living to our south, have packed in their gear for the season, leaving a lot more room on the slopes (and in parking lots) at our favorite areas.
Overall, it was a good ski season in the Northeast, especially when it had to be. Cold weather in November allowed ski areas to build a good base well before the holidays. And despite colder than normal temperatures for much of the season, the snowstorms we received came at perfect times — before the Christmas-New Year holiday, Martin Luther King weekend and the Presidents' week school break in February when people could get to the hills.
Of course, it is always an exciting year when there is a Winter Olympics. And, despite concerns before the Games, the competitions went off just fine.
The U.S. showed very well in snowsports. The U.S. Alpine ski team earned eight medals, including another surprise from Lake Placid's Andrew Weibrecht. Teenager Mikaela Shiffrin and world champion Ted Ligety were gold medalists, and will be back to lead a good U.S. team that should once again include Lindsey Vonn who, assuming her knee rehabilitation goes well, should end up as the most successful alpine skier of all time by the end of next year.
In snowboard and slopestyle skiing, a young contingent of U.S. athletes did well. An exception was veteran Shawn White, who did not win the medal he expected. The U.S. Nordic skiers, however, were a disappointment, especially Kikkan Randall, who was expected to win the first medal ever in women's competition, but failed to even make the final of her strongest event. A week later, she won a World Cup race in Finland. Few people noticed.
Two people who will be missed next winter are Nordic combined athlete Bill Demong of Vermontville, near Saranac Lake, and bronze medal mogul skier Hannah Kearney of Norwich, Vt. Both are former Olympic gold medalists who had hoped to repeat this winter. Neither did. Both announced their retirement from competition after the Games and, in calling it quits, the U.S. loses two of its classiest athletes on the international sports scene.
Locally, area natives Bill Enos, originally from Rotterdam, and Schenectady native Tuffy LaTour earned kudos for the performances of their athletes in snowboard and skeleton, respectively. Both should be back for more next year.
It was a good season for our local ski areas, too. West Mountain seemed to rally from some hard times in recent seasons and new management has some ambitious plans for the Queensbury area. Oak Mountain in Speculator had a second consecutive good year under its new ownership and Hickory, outside of Warrensburg, showed some signs of life operating several days after snowstorms, a major advance over the past couple of years, where it had almost no activity whatsoever.
Willard Mountain in Easton reported good results. Royal Mountain in Caroga Lake was both reliable and good, as always, under 40-plus-year owner-manager Jim Blaise.
It doesn't seem like there could be a ski season in our area without Freddie Anderson giving lessons at Maple Ridge. The 93-year-old longtime head of the Schenectady Ski School had some health issues that kept her away from the hill much of the winter. Let's hope she can get back to sliding when the lifts start spinning again.
We've have good skiing now since late last November. Now, it is call-ahead season. There is plenty of good snow left on the ski hills but it pays to check before heading out for your own spring adventure. I'm looking forward to more as we head into spring. But for now, this will be a wrap for Ski Lines this season. Enjoy the months of bad sliding.

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify a set of microRNAs (miRNAs) as prognostic molecular biomarkers for the progression of Barrett esophagus (BE) to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) to rationalize the surveillance programs in patients with BE.
Background: Histological dysplasia is currently used as the main biomarker to identify the BE patients at high risk for developing EAC. Although miRNA expression profiles in BE and EAC have been reported, it has not been established which set of miRNAs could constitute a robust diagnostic test to predict the progression of BE to EAC.
Methods: miRNAs associated with progression of BE to EAC were identified using miRNA sequencing analysis. Further validation by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed in 2 groups of BE patients who either developed or did not develop adenocarcinoma after at least 5 years of follow-up.
Results: Twenty-three miRNAs were identified by miRNA sequencing analysis in the carcinogenesis process associated with BE. qRT-PCR analysis using independent tissue samples confirmed differential expression for 19 of them (miR-let-7c, 7, 146a, 149, 153, 192, 192*, 194, 194*, 196a, 196b, 200a, 203, 205, 215, 424, 625, 625*, and 944). However, only miR-192, 194, 196a, and 196b showed a significantly higher expression in BE samples from patients with progression to EAC compared with those who did not progress to EAC.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that the expression pattern of a modest number of miRNAs in metaplasia biopsies could identify the BE patients at high risk for developing EAC. Therefore, it has potential use for the control and treatment of this malignancy.
