"Nice place but many problems on arrival"
This Penthouse is in a fabulous location, and the pictures of it on the internet portrayed this place to be a 5 star place to stay and the price we paid for a week ( over £1800.00) you would expect it to be 5 star too. But when we arrived we were very disappointed as the pool on the roof needed cleaning around the edges before we could use it, this was covered in a black grimey gunge which led us to believe that whoever was supposed to be attending to the pool maintenance weren't doing a good enough job, if any kind of job at all. Some of the sun loungers were broken and my husband picked up on this from a previous complaint on tripadvisor so we asked the agent who dealt with our booking to deal with this and other issues before we arrived and to our disappointment after being promised that they would be dealt with, they were not and we had to put up with these issues whilst we stayed there. The aircon vent leaked water on to the floor all of the time from the top bedroom, we had to put a towel down as it made the marble stairs very slippery and unsafe, we complained about this but nothing was sorted while we were stating there, also there was a hole in the wall caused by the leaking water which looked unsightly. The outside sun blind all collapsed also from the wall and was very dangerous, so much so that the apartment blocks security people had to urgently get someone out to make it safe in the wind otherwise it could have blown off on to people below. The playstation 2 didn't work which was an annoyance to my son as it was advertised on the web site and he had brought some games to play on which he couldn't use. We had to call the house cleaner back after our arrival as the inside of the fridge was dirty and had human hairs inside! The cleaning in general was not up to the standard that you would expect a property of this quality to be up to, lots of dust everywhere, and the bathrooms were not clean enough, the bath in the upstairs en suite was really bad and i made the cleaner pay extra attention to it, and i feel the owners are been let down badly by the agent and their appointed cleaners and maintenance people, as it could be a beautiful property in every respect. we would return again though if these issues were sorted out as the location is perfect and the complex itself was very nice indeed, just those things which weren't right on our arrival which disappointed us after higher expectations.
(Dear Review Readers, Please note that, though published now -June 2013-, the content and facts of review posted below refer to a booking dated almost 1 YEAR AGO, JULY 2012. Actions described below were immediately taken at that time. Thanks). Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to review the Penthouse. We always thank feedback from our guests, and we truly appreciate it, in order to improve and perfect our service. RATES/Value for money.- We aim to offer both a 5 star Penthouse at an unbeatable 5 star value for money rate, and are honored as our Penthouse was listed in the Sunday Times, April 03,2011 as one of the "100 best bargains of the Med". Top Roof Pool / Rim.- Pool water impeccable and ready for swimming. Rim cleaned following day. Sun loungers .- Screws fixed (tightened) by Pool tech same day. After Guest's check out, stronger screws and additional systems of support were installed. Air conditioning condensation .- Leaking (caused by using Air conditioning with windows and/or doors opened). System installed (3 days work) to prevent condensation. Repaired after Guest's check out to avoid disturbance related to installation. Outside sun blind support.- Absolutely unpredictable and unavoidable event that was efficiently solved same day by Security and maintenance Team and additional system of support was installed. Complex has both 24h Security personnel and 12h maintenance Team. PlayStation.- Technician (from maintenance) went next day, his understanding was that there might a conflict between PS and DVD'S brought by client. Cleaning .- Cleaner sent same day to thoroughly clean at guest's request. Customer Service.- "Tall' glasses purchase. Guest requested, and 12 tall glasses were purchased and delivered, as his preferences included tall glasses for drinking beer. Finally, dear Guest, we would like to invite you to visit our Penthouse again, to enjoy the 5 star experience so much deserved and expected. Best regards, Hellen Davidson
"Luxury overlooking the sea"
Stayed here Xmas to New Year so the private gated complex had few people staying in it which made it perfect for us as we were able to sit on the balcony, in the sun, overlooking the sea and have a complete chill out. Apartment is contemporary furnished which we loved and there was everything catered for in tv, hi-fi etc. High quality furnishings are not the norm in holiday lets so we were very impressed. Bedrooms were great with power showers delivering hot water no mater how many showers were being used at the same time. Instructions for using everything were excellent which is not often the case. Beds extremely comfortable. Complex is fabulous and the gardens almost manicured. Cabopino is a lovely little marina with great restaurants and a real pub/bar if you just want a drink. 10 min walk from the complex, very easy flat walk.Our favourite restaurant was Hermosa, just superb. Supermarkets for all supplies just a 10 min walk across the bridge from the back gate of the complex, very handy. Have stayed in Andalucia many times and this is as great place to stay and explore from. Complex staff very friendly and helpful and Catriona was always available for help and support. Only tip is do not leave a key on the inside of the front door. We did this and it locks you out. 80 Euros later and the locksmith had us back in. Does tell you in the welcome book but I would put a sticker above the lock. Overall we all loved this place and look forward to a return visit.
"Enjoyed by everyone"
We were delighted with the Penthouse and it was exactly as advertised on the web. My granddaughters had a great time playing in the pool and we all enjoyed the experience. We will definitely be back. There was a good selection of restaurants at the Marini but Da Bruno's is definitely worth a visit.
"Not worth the money. Wouldn't go back. Disappointing"
Location was great.. And very secure. It was only a penthouse because it was on the top floor of a block of 3.. Master bedroom had 2 single beds pushed together and beds were different heights. No mattress or pillow protectors, pillows were all stained..yuk.. En suite was actually in the bedroom with roller blinds for privacy. 15 marble stairs down to kitchen from balcony (thro master bedroom) to get a drink (wouldn't suit a family with young kids) 2 broken sun beds when we got there. And no welcome pack..we arrived late on Saturday night and shops closed on a Sunday.. ,!!
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to review the penthouse. Even though the feedback is not entirely positive we truly appreciate it, as we always listen to our guests in order to improve and perfect our service. I hope you find the following response covers all of your points : • The penthouse is priced below with comparable properties in the area, (in fact the property was listed in the Sunday Times, April 03,2011 as one of the "100 best bargains of the Med"). • By definition, a penthouse is 'a residence, often with a terrace, on the top floor(s) of a building', we feel the property meets this criteria. • In the master bedroom, many guests prefer having the option of two single beds. There is a second master bedroom on the ground floor which benefits from a king size bed, if this is your preference. One of the single beds in the master bedroom has a special viscofoam mattress which is for people with back problems and useful for some of our elder guests. These special mattresses should not be covered with pvc protectors as it takes away from their comfort. • We can not apologise enough if there were any marks on the pillows. All of our linen is laundered and changed between rentals. If we had been made aware of this problem at the time we would have immediately arranged for the relevant bedding to be changed. • Our understanding of an en-suite bathroom is that the bathroom is within the bedroom. The en-suite bathroom in the upper master bedroom has been designed by an architect with glass walls (except of course for WC area), in order to allow guests to benefit from sea views whilst showering or having a jacuzzi bath. This has always proved an extremely popular facility for our guests. There are other bathrooms available, and also for privacy there are roller blinds installed. • For those families with younger children there are 3 other bedrooms downstairs, on the same floor as the kitchen, lounge and lower terrace. • Regarding the broken items found on your arrival, we can only apologise again. The inventory is checked regularly and this had not been noticed, nor reported by any other client. Had this been reported during your stay we would have sought to resolve the issue without delay. • We do not provide a welcome pack for our rental accommodation, however we always supply essentials such as soap, toilet roll, tea and mineral water. There are several supermarkets within the local area that are open until very late at night and on Sundays. Once again, thank you for taking the time to leave your review of our property.

Nike (NYSE:NKE) has stated its intent to hit $50 billion in sales by 2020. With current sales at around $30 billion, what are the chances of them meeting this ambitious goal? It implies an averaged-out growth of at least $4 billion year-over-year, but what really stacks the odds against them is the fact that over the past five years they've only been able to add $10 billion.
Source: Nike Annual Reports
Can they double this over the coming five years? How realistic is it, considering that the natural course for a mature company's growth is to slow down as the company gets bigger. Nike is already the dominant player in the sports footwear and sports apparel segments, but the industry itself is highly fragmented. In the sports footwear segment alone, which represents 60% of Nike's business, the company has less than 10% of market share of a $190 billion market.
In sports apparel, Under Armour is quickly closing the gap as the Number Two player in North America and doesn't show any signs of stopping.
In my previous article on Nike, I spoke about several key factors that predicted their future success as a strong company to invest in and grow with. I still stand by my words, but in this article I'd like to talk about why I think they have a good shot at hitting that goal, ambitious though it might be.
According to Mark Parker, CEO of Nike, women's business and the Jordan brand will be the key drivers for future sales expansion. I'd like to explore that in greater detail
Nike's China Turnaround
Nike's had a lot of trouble in China over the past several years. Since the boom in business around the Olympics back in 2008, they've been struggling to keep their heads above the $2 billion level. A sales pace drop in a massive market like China is bound to hit the bottom line hard, but things have changed, it seems, with Nike hitting the $3 billion mark in 2015 in the PRC.
The key ingredient in this success formula seems to be their Jordan brand and its performance in China. Nike's long-time brand ambassador Michael Jordan recently visiting the country and fighting a case against copycat manufacturing is part of this heavy push in Asia's most populous nation.
Let's not forget that Nike doesn't just make shoes - they sell their brand as much as their products, and the most powerful weapon in their sales arsenal is brand recognition. If they can effectively fight rip-off companies and keep driving their numbers up on the strength of the Nike brand, I believe they have a real shot at $50 billion by 2020.
The main takeaway for investors here is CEO Parker's confidence that the Basketball segment, of which Jordan is the flagship brand, will do very well in China in the coming years. A quick look at their growth in this segment shows that the trend is already being set.
Source: Nike Annual Reports
Nike's Women's Segment
The other segment that has been showing promise is Nike's Women's segment, which saw revenue climb by more than $1.2 billion in the last two years.
Source: Nike Annual Reports
Today, Nike's women's business is worth nearly $6 billion, having grown quickly in the past three years. Still, it shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, Their target is to nearly double women's business by 2020 - taking it to $11 billion, while online sales are projected to grow sevenfold to hit $7 billion.
Nike's Marketing Spend
Nike's central theme has been to serve the athletes, as stated in its mission statement: "To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world." The cost of that mission runs into the millions each year as Nike keeps reminding its customers - new and old - that because the best athletes in the world (at least, the ones it sponsors) use Nike products, they support athletes all over the world who aspire to be the best.
To analyze that in detail, we need to get into their SG&A over time. That component is divided into two parts: demand creation and operating expense. The former is what accounts for, in part, payments to endorsees, and is dependent on the contract each endorsee has with the company. If the endorsee has a good season, they're typically paid more - and the opposite is also true.
The other portions contributing to demand creation expenses are advertising and marketing.
When a company intends to grow quickly over the next few years, the first thing you'll notice is that their marketing, advertising and sponsorship expenses go up significantly, and that's what we're seeing happening with Nike.
Source: Nike Annual Reports
You can clearly see that they're stepping up to the plate for something big over the next few years. The latest in their "acquisition" of sports personalities comes in the form of LeBron James, with whom they've signed their first ever lifetime deal. They first had James sign up with them on a seven-year contract for $90 million in 2003, but this one outdoes anything Nike has ever done before. Of course, the deal with Michael Jordan is understood to be a "de facto" lifetime agreement - and one that's helped the brand hit $2.2 billion in annual sales as of October 2015 - but this never-before formal agreement with James is a clear indication that Nike intends this partnership to be as big as or even bigger than the 30-year partnership with Jordan.
There's been a lot of criticism - even on SA - surrounding increases in Nike's SG&A as a percentage of revenue, but that's coming from their operating expenses rather than the demand creation side of things. The additional expenditure has primarily gone towards improving their digital capabilities and operational infrastructure.
Nevertheless, their spending on endorsements is probably the biggest driver of growth, as we've witnessed in the past 30 years that Michael Jordan has been on board. Despite the fact that they've been spending more on demand creation, when you look at it as a percentage of revenue, you can see why that expense is justified. I'll go one step further and say that they should be looking to increase their spend in that direction.
Source: Nike Annual Reports
Source: Nike Annual Reports
Investor-speak: What about that $50 Billion?
The essential takeaway is that if they can maintain a revenue growth rate greater than 10% for fiscals 2016 through 2020, $50 billion by 2020 is in the bag for certain. If they can show spurts of higher growth through that period, $50 billion suddenly becomes a realistic proposition.
A major contributor to that growth will be the China market, and the big question now is whether the downturn in Chinese consumer spending on "non-essential" goods such as sports attire and sports footwear will impede Nike's growth plans.
From that perspective, Nike is very clear on how it wants to position itself for the future. Though not directed specifically at China, this comment from Parker encapsulates the company's plans for its women's business:
"We see this as not a fitness trend for women - that is, short term like a fashion trend - but we see this as a lifestyle shift"
Another major driver of Nike's position in China is the fact that Adidas is catching up to them in terms of market share. To counter that threat, Nike has proposed opening 1000 women-focused stores over the next five years - something that Adidas has already started doing with great success.
Source: QZ
I believe these factors will ultimately "collude and conspire" to create a momentum that Mark Parker has accurately got a pulse on. Investors should keep adding to their position whenever there's a price drop. These entry points will present themselves several times over the next five years, so there's plenty of opportunity to get in.

I have a Blackberry Bold 9930 and yesterdasy I received a msg stating to upgrade to 7.x Blackberry software . I followed the prompts ( took a long time like 2 hours to download ) , and then proceeded . Big mistake as it cooked my phone . It seems that when you upgrade , the upgrade process goes thru but stops after the time zone restore process and reports an error 602 along with a reset button to reset back to your database . The reset button did not work and I rebooted the tel to restore the db . At thsi time it rebooted , started the process and again it failed after the msg stating time zones ( 100 % and Overall restore process 7 % ) . Time zones just about completed but then I got a msg stating err I belive 602 . Over all progress was around 5 to 10 percent . Now my phone is junk as it will not reboot . Verizon says that they have a lot of phones across the country but BlackBerry says it is a Verizon issue .. Anyone ever hear of this as I am now without a tel for 4 days while I get a replacement on Friday due to the Holiday ... I am not very happy as another issue I found - during the upgrade process it used the Cell network instead of my home wirelss to download the software and it really took about 2 to 3 hours , then another hour before it failed during the upgrade process . So approx . 3 to 4 hours playing with an upgrade yesterday .
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello merlin02131
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
Sorry to hear about the issue you're having during Update !
But you can always use Desktop Software for the Update process, personally I never prefer doing an Update Over the Air. I think something gone wrong with the Update process and as a result you're having this error 602 .
Do you have a Backup of your device or using BlackBerry protect for backup ?
If you wish you can try a few method to recover your device from this error , all you need is a PC and an active Internet connection . But please note this method will delete user data within that device . Here is the Knowledge Base to follow :
KB10144 : How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
Additional Information :
KB29237 : "App Error 602" appears on the BlackBerry smartphone running BlackBerry 7
Right on the money !!!!
kb10144 worked I did have to upgrade my desktop version as it had a later version 184.108.40.206 . Outside of that it went exactly like the kb article which I am truly greatful !
Only challenge now is to get my contacts off of Verizon's cloud ( excell ) and figure out how to load the excel file in my phone thru desktop software .
Again I cannot thank you enough as my tel is up and working !!!! I had nothing on my tel yet as I did not wish to put email or anything else on it at this time so the reload was no issue at all !!!
I will def use the desktop software and make a back up as well as check here for update off my pc versus downloading to my phone directly off the wire or wireless ! went MUCHJ smoother as well .
Rich O'Connor

According to Nielsen Mobile, more than 75 billion text messages were being sent every month as of June 2008. Because of the ease and convenience of simply typing in a few words as opposed to initiating a potentially long conversation, text messaging has become a cultural norm. There are three simple ways to text a cell phone number: from a website, from your own cell phone or by sending an email.
From a Website
Visit the website of the cell phone subscriber's provider or your own provider (the top four providers are VZW.com, T-mobile.com, ATT.com and Sprint.com).
Navigate to the "Messaging" or similar area of the site. Click "Send a Text Message" or corresponding option depending on the site (you can also simply type that phrase into the "Search" box). Not all providers have this feature, and some require you to log in to your cell phone account in order to use it.
Type in the recipient's cell phone number and your message, then send.
From Your Cell Phone
Go to "SMS," "Messaging" or the corresponding link on the main menu of your cell phone and then select "Compose" or "Send" to write a new SMS text message. SMS stands for "short messaging service."
Type in the recipient's cell phone number and then press "OK" or move down to the message entry box to proceed.
Compose your message and then press "Enter" or "Send" to transmit it to the subscriber.
Via Email
Find out the name of the recipient's cell phone company.
Determine the email address extension that the cell phone company requires you to use if you want to text a subscriber. See the first link under Resources below for a list of the extensions for the top U.S. cell phone providers.
Type in the recipient's cell phone number, then the "@" sign and then the email address extension that you found in the last step. This is the subscriber's text messaging email address.
Compose a new message in your email system and type the email address in the "To" field. Type your message as you would normally (keep it short, no more than about 150 characters) and then send the email. You can receive emails back from the cell phone subscriber in your email inbox as well.

Standardization and quantification in FDG-PET/CT imaging for staging and restaging of malignant disease
Gamez-Cenzano C.,Institute Of Diagnostic Per La Imatge Idi |
Pino-Sorroche F.,Institute Catala dOncologia ICO
PET Clinics | Year: 2014
There is a growing interest in using quantification in FDG-PET/CT in oncology, especially for evaluating response to therapy. Complex full quantitative procedures with blood sampling and dynamic scanning have been clinically replaced by the use of standardized uptake value measurements that provide an index of regional tracer uptake normalized to the administered dose of FDG. Some approaches have been proposed for assessing quantitative metabolic response, such as EORTC and PERCIST criteria in solid tumors. When using standardized uptake value in clinical routine and multicenter trials, standardization of protocols and quality control procedures of instrumentation is required. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Health education tools for the use of fentanyl pectin nasal spray [Herramientas de educación sanitaria de fentanilo intranasal con pectina]
Garzon-Rodriguez C.,Institute Catala dOncologia ICO
Medicina Paliativa | Year: 2015
Proper health education is essential for the successful management and treatment of pain. In recent years, there has been a clarification of both the clinical features and diagnostic criteria of breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP), producing a new generation of drugs (fentanyl) with transmucosal absorption. Multiple clinical trials have been conducted on the safety and efficacy of these fentanyl preparations for the treatment of BTcP. The common denominator in most of these studies is the lack of relationship between the effective dose of fentanyl that controls pain exacerbations and the around-the-clock opioid dose, and therefore individualized titration should always be performed. Titration of fentanyl in any of its forms (transmucosal nasal/oral) therefore requires close monitoring of analgesia and adverse effects with each dose administered. Health education in patients and their families on the use of rapid-release opioids is a key aspect of their success. In this article, we describe the health education tools that have been developed by the palliative care service of the Catalan Institut of Oncology to facilitate the understanding of the use and titration of these drugs. © 2015 Sociedad Española de Cuidados Paliativos.

Background: Genes of the adiponectin pathway are interesting candidates for colorectal cancer risk based on the potential association between colorectal cancer and obesity. However, variants of the adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) have been demonstrated to be inconsistently associated with risk of colorectal cancer. Methods: The current study attempted to evaluate these findings by examining several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were previously genotyped as part of a genome-wide association study in the ADIPOQ gene. Genotyping was also performed for a previously reported risk variant, rs266729, in 1062 individuals with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer and 1062 controls matched on age, gender and ethnicity (Jewish or not Jewish) as part of a population-based case-control study in Israel. Results: No evidence was found for an association between ADIPOQ and risk of colorectal cancer. The single nucleotide variant previously associated with decreased risk of colorectal cancer, rs266729, revealed an adjusted odds ratio of 1.04; 95% confidence interval, 0.88-1.23. Conclusion: The SNP, rs266729, was not strongly associated with colorectal cancer in patients of Ashkenazi Jewish descent or other ethnic groups in Israel. © 2011 Cancer Research UK. Source

Purpose: Pretreatment quality assurance data from four centers, members of the European TrueBeam council were analyzed with different verification devices to assess reliability of flattening filter free beam delivery for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and RapidArc (RA) techniques. Methods: TrueBeam® (Varian Medical System) is a new linear accelerator designed for delivering flattened, as well as flattening filter free beams. Pretreatment dosimetric validation of plan delivery was performed with different verification devices and responses to high dose rates were tested. Treatment planning was done in Eclipse planning system (PRO 8.9, AAA 8.9). evaluation was performed with (dose difference) 3 and (distance to agreement) 3 mm scoring the gamma agreement index (GAI, of field area passing the test). Two hundred and twenty-four patients with 1-6 lesions in various anatomical regions and dose per fraction ranging from 1.8 Gy to 25 Gy were included in the study; 88 were treated with 6 MV flattening filter free (X6FFF) beam energy and 136 with 10 MV flattening filter free (X10FFF) beam. Gafchromic films in solid water, delta4, arccheck, and matrixx phantom were used to verify the dose distributions. Additionally, point measurements were performed using a PinPoint chamber and a Farmer chamber. Results: Dose calculation as well as dose delivery was equally accurate for IMRT and RA delivery (IMRT: GAI 99.3 (±1.1); RA: GAI 98.8 (±1.1) as well as for the two beams evaluated (X6FFF: GAI 99.1 (±1.0); X10FFF: GAI 98.8 (±1.2). Only small differences were found for the four verification devices. A point dose verification was performed on 52 cases, obtaining a dose deviation of 0.34. The GAI variations with number of monitor units were statistically significant. Conclusions: The TrueBeam FFF modality, analyzed with a variety of verification devices and planned with Eclipse planning system is dosimetrically accurate (within the specified limits 3 mm/3) for both X6FFF and X10FFF beam energy. © 2012 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.

Adenovirus release is not triggered until late times after viral infection when the adenovirus death protein (ADP) accumulates to induce viral egress. Thus the natural rate of adenovirus release may hinder the spread of oncolytic adenoviruses. Several experimental approaches have provided evidence indicating that promoting adenovirus release can be used to enhance their therapeutic potential. This review briefly summarizes what is known about the mechanism of adenovirus release and describes three different strategies, ADP overexpression, apoptosis induction, and bioselection, which can be used to enhance adenovirus release.Finally we will discuss some of the future perspectives that will contribute to the better use of progeny release for the improvement of the antitumor activity of oncolytic adenoviruses. © Gros and Guedan.; Licensee Bentham Open.

According to officials in the Income Tax department, Koda purchased and distributed around 600 bikes, 25 to 30 Scorpios, Boleros and other four wheelers to his supporters.
Sources said that IT sleuths searched two showrooms of motor bikes and four wheelers. They found that 200 bikes had been sold in one day from one showroom and have now sought help from the transport department to seek registration details.
Koda is charged with misusing his position as mines and geology minister and later as chief minister.
Koda allegedly sent a recommendation to the Central Government suggesting a list of names for the lease of 17 iron ore mines, sources said.
He used his influence to push certain private groups for the lease of coal blocks, an official said. The list is long, he added.
Koda is also accused of disposing of 40 files related to mines in just one day in Feb 2008.
"We are trying to unearth the channels through which money was generated and channelised inside the country and how they were sent to foreign countries. The focus of investigation is Koda and his associates," said an official, adding that they were acquiring new information every day.

A Short History of Myth
Knopf Canada, 2006 - Myth - 168 pages
What are myths? How have they evolved? And why do we still so desperately need them? A history of myth is a history of humanity, Karen Armstrong argues in this insightful and eloquent book: our stories and beliefs, our attempts to understand the world, link us to our ancestors and each other. This is a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest sense – from Palaeolithic times to the "Great Western Transformation" of the last 500 years – and why we dismiss it only at our peril.

Promising Investigational Treatment for Qualifying Men with Locally Recurrent Prostate Cancer Using Ultrasound Energy Available at NYU Clinical Trial Site
Dr. Herbert Lepor, Chairman of Urology at NYU School of Medicine and medical monitor for the trial said, "HIFU using the Sonablate(R) 500 device is a very promising minimally invasive ablative therapy for both the treatment of recurrent prostate cancer following failed external beam radiation therapy and newly diagnosed localized prostate cancer."
Over 40,000 men with prostate cancer that are treated with radiation have their cancer return every year. These men have few options besides hormone therapy. According to the American Cancer Society possible side effects of hormone therapy include osteoporosis, anemia, loss of muscle mass, depression, decreased mental acuity and impotence.
HIFU with the Sonablate(R) is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that uses a transrectal probe to focus ultrasound energy to create a sharp increase in heat within the prostate, thus destroying the tissue. HIFU is radiation free and non surgical. In a small U.S. safety trial, 91% of the participants treated in the trial had a negative biopsy at 6 months.
"We are excited to add NYU to the list of clinical trial sites evaluating the Sonablate(R) 500 for the treatment of recurrent prostate cancer," said Steve Puckett, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, USHIFU, the company managing the clinical trials with sponsor Focus Surgery, Inc. "The existing treatment options for patients who have recurrent prostate cancer post radiation are limited and often associated with significant quality of life morbidity, so the potential for an alternative therapy is very exciting," Puckett continued.
Eligible participants for the trial must be between the ages of 40 and 80, have biopsy confirmed local recurrence two or more years following external beam radiation failure (EBRT) and meet several other selection criteria as well.
For more information about enrolling in the HIFU trial calls 1-877-874-4389 or visit www.ProstateCancerRecurrentTrial.org.
This investigational treatment is performed on an outpatient basis. Potential risks of the treatment include frequency, urgency, mild discomfort or discharge in urinary stream. Less common side effects may also include urinary stricture, retention, incontinence, impotence and rectal fistula.

I've been here several times and I would rate it up there with the best dance clubs in Kyiv. Great atmosphere, music was great and I recommend reserving a table with great company. Drinks are fairly priced. The only downfall was the smoke. Seems that they allow smokers to crowd around the bar even though it's illegal in Kyiv.
I went to Disco Radio Hall a few times while I was living in Kyiv, and it was always fun. Great atmosphere to hang out with friends, variety of drinks at a bar and always good music. Last time I was here (July) they had just finished adding a new outdoor terrace with view on the river. Even during summer...
You never realize the how good it is until you try it yourself ) for me, fantastic place! If you want a really quality music and great atmosphere - turn toward there! Highly recommend!
I agree with PeteStacy - the place just a bad experience, from the angry guards at the door to the wooden dance floor. The staff is not helpful, expect for some of the bar staff.
Xyйня повна!!!!!!!!!!! Don't waste your time and money - they are big liars!!! It feels like going to a waste dump!!!!!

Page 2 of 2
Newton faced its toughest competition of the season on Friday since beating Butler in an exhibition match before the regular season and it showed as Newton got blowed out 67-42 against Tucker.
Newton had put up a good fight. They were in it with Tucker the entire game, but the defending state champion Lady Tigers had taken a six point lead with just a couple of minutes remaining in the contest. To lose by a few points to a team that won a state championship last year would be an honorable moral victory. But the Lady Rams didn't want a moral victory. They wanted to make a statement.
More than just bragging rights are on the line for Friday night's Newton/Tucker matchup. Tucker, which was added to Region 2-AAAAAA this year, is pretty much a powerhouse in every high school sport and that doesn't change in basketball.
Facing a rival for the third straight game, Newton dominated once again, with the girls winning 54-52 and the boys winning 70-51.
The rivalry that exists between Eastside and Newton has been well documented. For any contest or sporting event that the two compete in, the ultimate goal is to beat the other one, the school across the county.
Salem's girls survived against a strong push from a promising Newton team with a bright future, but Newton's boys dealt the Seminoles their second loss of the season.
Newton, both the girls and the boys, got convincing victories over county rival Eastside. The girls started it off with a 76-51 victory and the boys followed it up by winning 57-43.
All good things must come to an end. Newton's outstanding playoff run ended on Friday after a devastating 43-29 loss to Etowah.
Before the season, Rams' head coach Terrance Banks talked a big game about his team. It had some wondering if he was just being arrogant or if there was actual truth to his words. The Rams just lost their last game of the season, going 2-1 in the playoffs, but it seems Banks was right about a lot.
This week is a special edition of our athletes of the week page. With Eastside and Alcovy basketball having away games, we decided that Newton's seniors would be the athletes of the week. All of Newton's seniors have made some type of impact on this season, but we can only highlight a few of them. Honorable mentions: Nuka Yobo and Steven Montac.
With five minutes and 31 seconds left Newton awaited a kickoff with the game tied at 29. It was everything the Rams wanted, until it wasn't.
All year long Newton football made its money on offense where Rams' head coach Terrance Banks had nine returning starters from last year's team. As the Black Knights know, the Rams live and die (mostly living) on the arms and legs of Romario Johnson. However, it's been the Rams' defense that has propelled the team to new heights in this year's playoffs.
They say pressure either makes pipes burst or it makes diamonds. Plenty of pressure was on Newton to follow up the win against Valdosta and solidify the Rams as a program to be reckoned with. The only pressure that showed against Central Gwinnett was the pressure from the Rams' defense.
Newton versus Heritage was all it was hyped up to be, at least in terms of the jawing between the two sides in the crowd. To begin the boys matchup, Newton fans brought out their newspapers (Covington News papers of course) when the boys varsity players were announced. It was a smart play, and it worked. Although, the fan contest is over, you can still sends us your fan photos for a chance to get the #FanPhotoOfTheWeek in our weekly Sunday edition.
Before last week, Newton never won a state playoff game. Now, they've won two. The Rams scored 15 unanswered points to beat Central Gwinnett 15-14 and advance to the third round where they will hit the road to face Etowah next Friday.

Maya Pipeline Speeds Completion of Valiant From VanguardAll 3D assets for animated family film completed in 15 months (February 03, 2005)
Valiant - all-CG animated feature film from Vanguard Animation
Taking advantage of Alias' Maya software, the price and performance of modern PCs from IBM and Boxx Technologies, plus a pool of animation, production and technical talent, Vanguard's producers reduced the cost of delivering Valiant to below $0.5 million per minute and completed the delivery of all 3D assets in under 15 months.
Vanguard Animation was founded in 2002 by John H. Williams - the producer of Shrek, Shrek 2 and Valiant - with Valiant being the first of ten full-length animated features it has planned. Once financing was in place, pre-production started in L.A. in January 2003. The principal production was then shifted to Ealing Studios, West London, where Vanguard established Europe's first purpose-built, digital CG production studio. Maya modeling, animation and camera layout began on September 15 2003, with all of the 3D assets completed on December 10, 2004.
The 75-minute family film is the story of a little wood pigeon named Valiant who, despite his small size, aspires to become a member of the Royal Homing Pigeon Service during World War II, delivering vital messages from the French Resistance to Allied Forces, while trying to evade lethal enemy falcons. The movie has an all-star cast, including the voice talents of Ewan Mcgregor as Valiant, plus John Cleese, Ricky Gervais, Tim Curry, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent and Hugh Laurie.
"History says you cannot deliver a film of this quality in less than five years and for under $80-million. But, with Maya at the core of our pipeline, we have done it in less than two years, and for $40-million - just half the cost," commented Curtis Augspurger, the movie's co-producer. "With Valiant the whole landscape for CG animation has changed. The paradigm shift that Valiant represents is likely to make major studios rethink the way they deliver animated films."
"The starting premise was that we could finance more films if we could reduce the overall costs, and Valiant is proof of our new paradigm," added Valiant co-producer Buckley Collum. "Alias put us into play on this movie. Maya helped give our investors the confidence to back the project. It's a recognized name, that offers off-the-shelf plug and play-ability and instantly allowed us to tap into a large pool of animation talent."
Valiant's Maya Pipeline - VFX methodology:
During the production stage at Ealing Studios, Vanguard recruited 135 digital artists from around the world, representing 17 different nationalities, with Maya skills covering character animation and rigging, modeling, camera set-up and layout, sets, lighting, effects and rendering.
A key decision from the outset was to base Valiant on a VFX pipeline - where background plates and characters are created and rendered-out as separate layers from Maya for subsequent compositing - rather than rendering complete scenes in camera, a potentially time-consuming and costly process. Valiant contains approximately 1,150 shots and the animation team was able to deliver 100 shots per week during peak production.
"The way we pipelined with Maya meant we hit our marks every time and kept costs low," said Collum. "The big advantage with the VFX pipeline approach was that we had total creative and technical control of the images throughout the animation and compositing stages. If any shots or animation needed changing, or the final renders contained any errors, we could quickly re-render those components with our Maya-based pipeline and send them off to the compositing team, instead of going through the time-consuming, and potentially uncertain, process of re-rendering entire scenes. It also gave us control of the lighting balance and overall look of the movie throughout."
Optimized Character Rigging and Rendering:
Optimizing the character rigging was also fundamental to the efficiency of the pipeline. The characters are virtually all birds, with feathered wings that function as gestural arms and fingers, as well as wings.
To make the animation processes easy and fast, Vanguard developed one highly sophisticated, stand-alone character rig in Maya, which could be adapted as required to other bird characters in the movie. This ensured that every animator would be familiar with any character's controls, allowing them to work with any character on any shot. In addition, a custom-developed Maya plug-in called Chanko enabled the animation team to create a library of poses and clips, which could then be shared between the character animators, ensuring shot-to-shot continuity.
To maximize rendering speed and efficiency, Vanguard harnessed the full range of Maya's native, mental ray and RenderMan rendering options.
RenderMan was the chosen rendering tool for most of the characters, sets and props. Optimizing the RIB output in Maya meant characters could be output quickly, with the advantage that the animation team was able to deepen the visual experience by adding wardrobe and military regalia over the feathers.
Using mental ray, Vanguard's technical directors were able to light scenes and produce global illumination renders, then bake the lighting information into the color textures. This did away with the need to render the sets using multiple shadow-casting lights, and which ultimately made rendering much faster. The Maya native renderer was used to render visual effects passes, such as smoke, steam, atmospheric dust, fires and explosions.
"Delivering a CG film production like Valiant would not have been so fast and efficient five years ago, and Maya played a pivotal role," added Curtis Augspurger.
About Valiant and Vanguard Animation:
Valiant is a Vanguard Animation Production in association with Ealing Studios. The movie will be distributed internationally by Odyssey Entertainment, and in the US by Buena Vista Pictures. The producer of Valiant is John H. Williams. Gary Chapman is the director. Executive producers are Barnaby Thompson for Ealing Studios, Ralph Kamp for Odyssey Entertainment, Neil Braun for Vanguard Animation, Robert Jones for the UK Film Council and Keith Evans from Baker Street Media Finance. Co-Producers are Eric M. Bennett, Curtis Augspurger and Buckley Collum for Vanguard Animation.

Okonjo-Iweala's mum: Kidnappers demand $1billion ransom
Posted On 10 Dec 2012
Tag: featured, News, Nigeria, Okonjo-Iweala
By Dailytimes
Latest report says kidnappers of the mother of Nigeria's Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo Iweala have made contact with the family, demanding for a ransom of $1billion failure of which they threatened to kill their victim.
Iweala's mother was kidnapped on Sunday from the palace of the traditional ruler of Ogwashi-uku, Obi (Prof.) Chukwuka Okonjo.
Mrs.Kanene Okonjo, 82 years old, the queen mother of Ogwashi uku was abducted at about 2pm by a gang of armed men who seized her at the gate of the palace at Ogbe-ofu and took her away. The husband was said to have travelled out of town.
The police yesterday arrested a man who allegedly left the compound few minutes before the incident took place.

Revealed: Titanic was doomed before it set sailBreaking News
Research suggests that, even if the ocean liner had not struck an iceberg during its maiden voyage, structural weaknesses made it vulnerable to any stormy sea.
The flaws, uncovered by researchers who found, filmed and analysed previously undiscovered portions of the Titanic's keel, also reduced the length of time the vessel remained afloat after hitting the iceberg on April 14, 1912 - scuppering the chances of rescue boats sent to the scene arriving in time and thus condemning hundreds of passengers and crew stranded on board to death.
To date, the received wisdom has been that after striking the iceberg, water flooded into the ship. The weight of the water in the bow forced the vessel's stern to rise until, when it reached an angle of 45 degrees, the ship snapped in half and sank.
advertisementHowever, the findings of the new research project, a collaboration between the History Channel and Lone Wolf Documentary Group, an American film company, suggest that the Titanic broke in half when its stern had reached an angle of just 10 degrees - a scenario that could have occurred in heavy seas during any severe storm, never mind in the aftermath of hitting an iceberg.

The changes were indeed made, but the Olympic crossed the Atlantic safely many times before those changes.
Alexis Turner - 6/11/2007
The Olympic was *not* "essentially identical" to the Titanic, given that it was retrofitted with a double hull and higher bulkheads shortly after the Titanic disaster. Among other things, these differences added about 30 tons (200%) to the original weight, changing the way the ship held itself in the water and how it reacted to pitch (tilting motion from front to back).
Another engineering consideration to remember is that the point on the ship at which the pitch occurred (the pivot point) matters. It's entirely possible for a ship to ride out a storm while pitching severely, yet be sunk in the next, lesser, storm because it hits its sweet spot on a wave.
