Correspondence to: Pınar Yıldız, MD, Kartaltepe Mahallesi, Ömür Sokak, No. 20/8, Bakırköy, Istanbul, Turkey; e-mail: email@example.com
We read with great interest the article by Jones and O'Driscoll that appeared in CHEST (June 2001).1 They reported that supplemental oxygen treatment during fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) was required in 151 of the patients (14.4%), and nearly half of the patients who need supplemental oxygen therapy had FEV1 levels <1 L in a large-scale study. We have recently investigated the predicting factors on the changes in saturation during FOB in a prospective study. In our unit, based in a 500-bed teaching hospital in Turkey, supplemental oxygen is not administered routinely to all patients during FOB. Forty-four patients (33 male and 11 female patients; mean ± SD age, 51 ± 17 years) who did not require oxygen treatment at least 2 weeks before FOB were included. Bronchoscopies were performed transnasally, and low-to-moderate doses of IM midazolam and atropine were used as premedication in all patients.
Oxygen saturation was monitored during the procedure with pulse oximetry (PO) [model 305; Palco Laboratories; Santa Cruz, CA], and arterial blood gas levels were measured before and after FOB. For predicting the lowest saturation value during FOB, age, gender, primary disease, presence of pleural effusion and/or atelectasia, time of FOB procedure, and basal saturation values were taken as independent variables.
No difference in saturation values was found between arterial blood gas levels and PO analysis both before and after FOB. This finding suggests monitoring of saturation with PO during FOB is a noninvasive and reliable method. Saturation values (mean ± SD) were significantly decreased after FOB (from 96.5 ± 1.0% to 91.6 ± 3.6%, p < 0.001), and desaturation (arterial oxygen saturation < 90%) was detected in 22 of the patients (50%) during the procedure.
In linear regression analysis for predicting the lowest saturation values (model r = 0.68, p = 0.008), duration of FOB (p = 0.008) was found to be the only independent variable. However, no association was found with other variables.
In conclusion, monitoring by PO should be performed in all patients during FOB. Supplemental oxygen therapy might be required in patients for whom the duration of the FOB procedure was longer.
Pulse oximetry is an established method for the detection of hypoxemia.1 Yildiz et al have monitored patients during bronchoscopy by pulse oximetry and measured arterial blood gas levels before and after the procedure. Their findings support pulse oximetry as a valid and reliable tool for monitoring saturation during flexible bronchoscopy. The authors comment that half (n = 22) the patients studied had an episode of desaturation during the procedure, although they did not state if the episodes were transient or prolonged, and the number of patients who required supplemental oxygen is not given.
Their finding of an association between duration of the procedure and lower patient oxygen saturation values is of interest, but unlikely to influence clinical practice for bronchoscopists because oxygen is likely to be administered to hypoxic patients whether the problem arises early or late in the procedure. Furthermore, for most cases, it is impossible to prospectively predict the duration of the procedure.
Supplemental oxygen is not mandatory for all patients, but it can be commenced during or after flexible bronchoscopy for any patient who has a prolonged episode of desaturation. We agree with Yildiz et al that it is essential to monitor all patients for the development of hypoxemia during and immediately after flexible bronchoscopy, as a fall in oxygen saturation may occur for any patient, regardless of duration of procedure, FEV1 level, or use of sedation.

He looks like the type who might hurl a beer bottle at my head just because he's still ticked off about a hangnail he had last April.
Someone introduces him as Dale Fuller, the CEO of Borland.
"I thought Borland was dead," I blurt, suddenly certain I am about to feel the impact of a Budweiser missile.
Fuller peels open a rugged grin. "That's what everybody says!"
We sit and order iced teas.
The technology industry needs a feel-good story. Borland's isn't the only one, but it's a good one. It has a message of survival. It might cheer up a few tech executives and investors and make them think: "It could be worse. I could be Madonna's movie agent."
Besides, Borland has Fuller, who comes across as a straight-talking, working-class antidote to the Andrew Fastows of the corporate scandal universe.
Borland had pretty much disappeared about seven years ago. In the decade before that, it was one of the great success stories of the personal computer age. The company was started in 1982 by Phillipe Kahn, a big, flamboyant Frenchman who played serious jazz saxophone and windsurfed.
Unless you were a computer geek, you'd probably never have known what Borland did. It made software development tools, which is basically software that makes it easier for other people to write software applications. In a way, it's like Prego spaghetti sauce — prepared food that helps other people assemble dinner.
Borland became famous for three reasons. One: It had Kahn, who was so brassy he built a resortlike corporate headquarters with a moat stocked with exotic fish. Two: Its revenue shot up to $500 million a year, making it one of the biggest software companies of the late-1980s. Three: Kahn decided in the mid-1990s to expand out of tools and take on Microsoft in applications — at which point Microsoft shredded Borland like piranha. That marked the beginning of Borland's descent.
In the late-1990s, Kahn left and a series of CEOs tried different focuses. One renamed the company Inprise, which sounds like a car aimed at retirees in Florida — the Buick Inprise. In 1999, as the rest of tech soared, Inprise was burning through $10 million a quarter, had little revenue coming in and had no new products ready. "It was days away from gone," Fuller says.
Which is when Inprise hired Fuller, who recalls that his first reaction, after taking the job and assessing the situation, was, "Oh, Lord, why did you bring me to this company?"
"They would've had a better business making jelly beans," Fuller says.
A lot of tech folks can probably relate. Jelly beans, sod farming, body piercing — any of those might sound like a better business than tech right now. Any day, I'm sure I'll get some MBA-crafted press release: "So-n-So Technologies, a leading supplier of decision-support systems, today announced its new strategic focus on cranberry bog enterprise management and cranberry sauce Thanksgiving feast solutions."
Anyway, if you're a down-and-out tech company, how can you follow Borland's turnaround path?
First, you extort $100 million from Microsoft.
Well, it worked for Fuller. He'd been around the block. He was an executive at Apple Computer and then started Internet search company WhoWhere? — which he sold to Lycos. He recognized that Inprise owned a number of basic software patents on which Microsoft was infringing.
"I went to Microsoft and said, 'I don't want to sue you. Maybe we can work out a licensing agreement,' " Fuller says. Ha! Nice timing. Microsoft was in the middle of its painful antitrust trial. Chairman Bill Gates needed a patent suit like he needed the shingles. Microsoft gave Inprise $100 million and invested $25 million in the company.
For the record, Microsoft said it paid Inprise the $100 million "for the rights to use Inprise-patented technology and to settle a number of long-standing patent and technology licensing issues."
The money bought Fuller time. He then recognized that the company owned a lot of valuable technology that could, in geek-speak, let developers create software that could work across platforms. That means that if a developer uses Inprise to write an application for Microsoft Windows, the developer can easily make the app work on Java-based cell phones, IBM Linux-based servers, video games and in just about anything else.
As tech increasingly connects all kinds of devices, demand is rising for that kind of cross-fertilized portability. Borland dived in to claim that niche.
Or as Fuller says, "We are the Switzerland of software development." And these days, Switzerland is apparently a good place to be. All kinds of tech companies — BEA Systems, VeriSign, Google — have said they want to be the Switzerland of something. It means you don't get blown up by the superpowers, you get money from all sides, and you can have an army that is famous not for its fierceness but for its pocketknives.
Fuller then needed to win customers back. The company had jerked them around for years. So at his first developers conference, Fuller apologized to 2,500 angry people. "I told them we'd abandoned them, and we'd never do that again."
They gave Fuller a chance. He renamed the company Borland and started delivering on its promises. A smaller Borland turned profitable in June 2000 and has been profitable every quarter since. For a tech company, its stock price has hung in there at about $10 a share, down from a 52-week high of $18.40.
Earlier in October, Borland bought another software company, Starbase, for $24 million.
Here's the remarkable part: Borland never touched the $100 million from Microsoft. It's still in the bank, plus $200 million more.

For those who have ordered the Hydrogold, how do you plan on maintaining your results once you have achieved your desired skin tone?
For those who have ordered the Hydrogold, how do you plan on maintaining your results once you have achieved your desired skin tone?
I was wondering the same thing. Hawa is no longer selling the even tone product
Is the even skin tone product the one that doesn't have any hydroquinone?
I want to know how are they going to maintain the results because once I stopped using steroids I started getting browner again.
I'm of the mind that I'll tackle that problem when I get there. I'm not planning to go beyond my natural coloring (evening out), so this is more of a curiosity to see how my skin will handle its melanin production when I start to wean it off the product. That said, I've heard consistently good things about Obagi.

What's a little pain, to get what you want?
That's a good question because I started skinlightening properly in Sep last yea and I started at Megan goods color but there was a lot of sun damage as I never used sun screen until I joined this site, anyways I started with labI'djanes cream oil and lotion and retin a for a month, then I heard about megatoner and was -like yea I need this in my life so I got it thru ebay then directly from Nigeria so I used it with la lotion and I went almost rihAnna we found love colour then I started cooling of a bit now my body is that colour but my face is like 3 shades away and acne prone so that's way I have decided just to try oBagI nu derm and for my bottom I'm waiting for my hydrogold. So I think when ur skin gets to a certaIn stage it can maintaIn if I just use la lotion kojie san and moIsturIser
I'm only looking to use the hydrogold for knuckles and knees. I'll see what happens after and deal with it then.

Purchased his polish in 2 colours (Buy 2, Get 1 Free Sale!)
1. "Innocence" - Goes on light, needs a few coats but really clean and pretty
2. "Recycle" - Planning to use it in the Fall
3. "Liquid Leather" - Planning to use in Fall
The polish includes the base coat which is great! Goes on smooth and lasts long, barely any chips a week later. Price is about $12-14 a bottle. To be used with UV Gel Lamps only.
I am a big fan of this nail polish! It applies very evenly, not streaky. There is an amazing assortment of beautiful and bright colors to choose from. It dries to a beautiful, shiny finish and best of all, it is quite chip resistant.
I've been using this product for about a year. It goes on well, and lasts for a week without chips or lifting. Combined with the top coat, this makes for a perfect shining manicure (and pedicure!). I wear nail polish every day, and the bottle lasts for forever!
Love love love!! My fave China Glaze colours in gel polish form!!
I found this polish recently when I visited my local Sally Beauty Supply and was very happy with my decision on this purchase! The polish cost approx $13 CAD, which is more or less the average price of gel polishes in the current market. The polish can be cured under LED and UV lamps so it can easily be used by anyone with either machine at home.
I got the polish in "Peachy Keen". So far I really enjoy this polish compared to China Glaze's regular polishes (which I absolutely hate), so it is definitely a must try for those who did not like their regular polishes. Here's my take on it so far!
- Includes base-coat in formula
- Two layers of polish and one top layer and you're done!
- Easy application process
- Opaque colour after two coats
- Wide range of colours
[None so far yet, but I'll keep this updated after a week. I've only just applied it today!]
I really enjoy this product so far. This is a great polish for beginners to use as it's not too sticky nor does it dry immediately when you put it on (so you can remove the excess polish easily for a thin coat for curing). I highly recommend it!
You can purchase this polish line at Sally Beauty Supply. Here's the website if you're interested! http://gelaze.com/
After a week with the polish on my nails, I can conclude that they have not chipped or peeled! They are still just as nice as they were the first day I applied it and it's been a week! Way to go China Glaze! I will definitely be buying this polish again!

Explosiveness is key for every defensive lineman, but it happens to be the defining characteristic of Robert Nkemdiche's game.
Nkemdiche's college film reveals a remarkably rare ability to burst off the line of scrimmage at the snap of the ball, which is why the Ole Miss product was selected 29th overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. Nkemdiche's explosiveness has been on the minds of everyone in the Cardinals' organization since his draft selection, but in recent weeks, it's been for a different reason.
Until Monday, Nkemdiche had yet to appear in training camp because of a high ankle sprain, which is the type of injury that has the potential to linger and hamper a player's overall explosiveness.
On Monday, Nkemdiche finally returned to the practice field in a limited capacity after missing three weeks of training camp, and sounded relieved and excited to put the pads on again.
"It felt good today, it felt good being back out there with my teammates and just feeling the energy again of being in pads and it feels good to be back in a football mode."
Arizona's first round draft pick stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 296 pounds, and was widely considered one of the most talented overall players available in this year's draft. A defensive end at Ole Miss, Nkemdiche also played offensive reps as a fullback and tested out with a 4.87 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine this spring.
Nkemdiche's quick-twitch movements have the potential to make him an elite NFL lineman, and at Monday's practice, Nkemdiche looked close to moving at 100 percent.
CardinalsSource studied Nkemdiche closely during the individual drills he participated in, and Nkemdiche had little difficulty working with angled rushes and side-to-side movements. In fact, Nkemdiche's footwork was noticeably better than some of the other Caridnals' defensive linemen, and his potential jumps out from the moment he uncoils from his stance.
Nkemdiche said it was difficult to watch three weeks of practice pass by on the sidelines, especially because this is his first opportunity to experience an NFL training camp.
"Just being out and watching your teammates grind through training camp and you want to be out there helping them," Nkemdiche said. "There's a couple of D-linemen that went down and I want to be out there helping them, seeing all the guys taking all the reps, they work so hard and you want to be there and join them."
Nkemdiche looked at or close to 100 percent in terms of his ability to move freely and put pressure on his ankle, but CardinalsSource is hoping to evaluate Nkemdiche in live situations against offensive linemen to determine if Nkemdiche's injury is still impacting his ability to disengage from offensive linemen when Nkemdiche needs to have lane integrity.
"I didn't feel like I was behind at all, it was just the ankle and getting back used to those sharp movements, those explosive movements, so I'm just taking it day by day," Nkemdiche said.
On Monday, Nkemdiche was using his hands more violently than other Cardinals' defensive linemen in individual drills, and demonstrated an excellent ability to shed blocks and cut up field in such drills. While there's not nearly as much perspective to be gained from these situations because defensive linemen are facing little resistance and thus putting less pressure on their legs, we're confident Nkemdiche can contribute this season if his ankle does in fact return to 100 percent.
The Cardinals had Tuesday off, but on Wednesday the team will begin preparing to face the Houston Texans in their third preseason contest. Though Nkemdiche has yet to participate in team drills, head coach Bruce Arians said the Cardinals hoped to have him in the lineup Wednesday, and Nkemdiche didn't rule out the possibility of taking game reps on Sunday.
"Of course, it's just really like I said, I just want to take it step-by-step and keep going through protocol of you know, the time that I'm supposed to be out there and do what I'm supposed to do," Nkemdiche said.

ASSISI, Italy — Violence in the name of God does not represent the true nature of religion and must be condemned by all faiths, Pope Francis said. Read more »
Catholic News Service
ASSISI, Italy — Jesus' cry of thirst on the cross is heard today in the cries of innocent victims of war in the world, Pope Francis said.
Christians are called to contemplate Christ in "the voice of the suffering, the hidden cry of the little innocent ones to whom the light of this world is denied,"" the pope said Sept. 20 at a prayer service in Assisi with other Christian leaders, including Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople and Anglican Archbishop Justin Welby of Canterbury.
Far too often the victims of war "encounter the deafening silence of indifference, the selfishness of those annoyed at being pestered, the coldness of those who silence their cry for help with the same ease with which television channels are changed," the pope said in his meditation.
The pope arrived in the morning by helicopter and was whisked away to the Sacred Convent near the Basilica of St. Francis.
After arriving in a blue Volkswagen, the pope raised his arms to embrace Patriarch Bartholomew and, together, the two greeted the other religious leaders present. Archbishop Welby, Syriac Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II of Antioch and leaders of the Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and Buddhist communities also welcomed the pope to Assisi.
Several refugees were among those who greeted the pope, including a young Yezidi woman from Iraq's Sinjar district who survived the August 2014 massacre committed by the Islamic State. "I want to thank you for praying for the Yezidis and your support for acknowledging our genocide," she told the pope.
"You have suffered a lot. I pray, I will pray for you with all my heart," the pope said as he placed his hand over his heart.
After having lunch with a dozen refugees and victims of war, Pope Francis and the Christian leaders went to pray in the lower Basilica of St. Francis. Members of other religions went to different locations in Assisi to offer prayers for peace in their own traditions.
During the solemn celebration, prayers were offered for countries where violence and conflicts continue to cause suffering for innocent men, women and children.
One by one, several young men and women placed lit candles in a round stand as an acolyte read the names of each country, including Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Nigeria and Ukraine.
The prayer service began with a Liturgy of the Word, which included a meditation after each reading.
Reflecting on the first reading from the prophet Isaiah, Archbishop Welby said that the world today "struggles to distinguish between what something costs and what it is worth."
Despite this, God responds with "infinite love and mercy" and offers to receive from him freely because "in God's economy we are the poorest of the poor; poorer than ever because we think ourselves rich," he said.
"Our money and wealth is like the toy money in a children's game: It may buy goods in our human economies which seem so powerful, but in the economy of God it is worthless. We are only truly rich when we accept mercy from God, through Christ our Savior," he said.
Christians are called to be rich in God's mercy by listening to him in the voice of the poor, by partaking in the Eucharist, by coming to him through his mercy.
"We are to be those who enable others to be merciful to those with whom they are in conflict. We are called to be Christ's voice to the hopeless, calling, 'come to the waters' in a world of drought and despair, giving away with lavish generosity what we have received in grace-filled mercy," Archbishop Welby said.
Patriarch Bartholomew commented on the second reading from the book of Revelation in which God calls "all who are thirsty come: all who want it may have the water of life, and have it free."
Christians from around the world, he said, answered God's call in Assisi "to invoke the Lord for the greatest of his gifts, peace, from him, the king of peace."
Jesus comes to all who thirst for peace, he continued. However, Christians must experience an inner conversion in order to listen to him through "the cry of our neighbor," to experience a true conversion and to give prophetic witness through fellowship.
"Then we shall offer living water to the thirsty, endless water, water of peace to a peaceless world, water that is prophecy, and all shall listen to Jesus, who will thrice say: 'Surely I am coming soon,'" Patriarch Bartholomew said.
In his meditation, Pope Francis reflected on Jesus' words on the cross, "I thirst," which he said was not only a thirst for water but also for love.
Like St. Francis of Assisi who was upset by the reality that "love is not loved," the pope said Christians are called to contemplate Christ Crucified in those "who thirst for love."
He also recalled the example of St. Teresa of Kolkata, who asked that all Missionaries of Charity houses have Jesus' words, "I thirst," inscribed in their chapels next to the crucifix.
"Her response was to quench Jesus' thirst for love on the cross through service to the poorest of the poor," Pope Francis said. "The Lord's thirst is indeed quenched by our compassionate love; he is consoled when, in his name, we bend down to another's suffering."
In response to Jesus' thirst, he said, Christians are challenged to hear the cry of the poor, suffering and the innocent victims of war.
Those who "live under the threat of bombs" and are forced to flee from their homes are "the wounded and parched members of his body," he said. "They thirst."
However, all too often they are offered only "the bitter vinegar of rejection."
Pope Francis called on Christians to be "trees of life that absorb the contamination of indifference and restore the pure air of love to the world."
"From the side of Christ on the cross water flowed, that symbol of the Spirit who gives life so that, from us, his faithful compassion may flow forth for all who thirst today," the pope said.

ASSISI, Italy — Churches that are not reconciled with one another weaken the experience of mercy that unites believers to God and with each other, Anglican Archbishop Justin Welby of Canterbury said.
By not reconciling with one other, "our worship is diminished and our capacity to grow close together with God
is reduced," he said Sept. 20 in Assisi during a discussion on ecumenism.
"The failure of ecumenism imprisons mercy and prevents its liberation and its power with one another," he said.
Speaking before Pope Francis arrived in Assisi for an interreligious peace meeting, Archbishop Welby joined other Christian leaders exploring how love, charity and mercy help foster peace and unity among Christian denominations.
Mercy is the "engine of reconciliation," Archbishop Welby said, and it is "the source of our capacity for the evangelization of the world in which we live."
"Mercy begins with the mercy that each of us experiences in the sacrament of reconciliation; the knowledge that we ourselves are accepted," he said.
Suffering and martyrdom, the archbishop added, also unite Christians and are a visible sign of ecumenism for the world.
"If we do not suffer together, we do not know the meaning of the ecumenism of mercy," he said. "When they kill us, they do not ask if we are Anglican, Presbyterian, Catholic or Orthodox; we are one in Christ for them. So why are we divided when they are not killing us?"
Echoing Jesus' prayer "that they may be one so that the world may know that I come from the Father," Archbishop Welby said that the evangelization of the world "depends on that ecumenism of mercy."
While they may have theological differences, he said, Christians must learn to "disagree well" and "learn to love one another with good disagreement."
Evangelization depends on the visible sign of love and unity. If not, churches will be unable "to carry out Jesus' command to go out into the world," he said.
"It depends on the world seeing visibly that we belong to one another and that we love one another," Archbishop Welby said. "Without that, we have nothing to say to a world that is incapable of resolving its own differences."

VATICAN CITY — The world expects all people of religious faith to work with everyone for a better future, Pope Francis told representatives of major religions.
"We can walk together taking care of each other and of creation" in joint projects that fight poverty, war and corruption and help people live in dignity, he told them during a special general audience dedicated to interreligious dialogue.
The audience in St. Peter's Square Oct. 28 marked the 50th anniversary of "Nostra Aetate," the Second Vatican Council's declaration on relations with other religions; the audience also recalled the historic first World Day of Prayer for Peace in Assisi, Italy, Oct. 27, 1986.
"The flame, lit in Assisi, spread to the whole world and marks a permanent sign of peace," Pope Francis said in his address.
The rain-soaked square was awash with color as thousands gathered under colorful umbrellas or plastic ponchos. Large groups of people came from other Christian communities and from other world religions and many held aloft olive branches. Representatives of many religious traditions sat in a VIP section near the pope and prayed in silence with him at the end of the audience.
Inviting the thousands gathered in the square to pray according to their own religious tradition, the pope said, "Let us ask the Lord to make us be more like brothers and sisters, and more like servants to our brothers and sisters in need."
In his written address, the pope said, "The world looks to us believers, it urges us to collaborate with each other and people of goodwill who do not profess any religion, it asks from us effective responses to many issues: peace, hunger, poverty," the environmental and economic crises, corruption, moral decay and violence, especially that waged in the name of religion.
Religions don't have a special "recipe" to solve these problems, he said, "but we have a great resource, prayer. Prayer is our treasure," which believers turn to in order to ask for those gifts people are yearning for.
Concerning the future of interreligious dialogue, he said, "the first thing we have to do is pray. Without the Lord, nothing is possible; with him, everything becomes" possible.
He asked that prayer lead people to follow the will of God, who wants everyone to recognize each other as brothers and sisters and to form a "great human family in a harmony of diversity."
Unfortunately, much of the violence and terrorism unfolding in the world have made people suspicious or critical of religion, he said.
However, "although no religion is immune from the risk of fundamentalist or extremist deviations," he said, people must look at the positive aspects of religious beliefs, especially how they are a source of hope for so many.
Pope Francis said respectful dialogue can lead to friendship and concrete initiatives between religious believers in serving the poor, the elderly, the marginalized and immigrants.
In fact, the upcoming Year of Mercy is the perfect occasion to work together on charitable projects, he said.
Charity, "where compassion especially counts, can unite with us many people who do not consider themselves to be believers or who are seeking God and truth," and with anyone who makes those in need a priority, he said.
The pope also praised the profound improvements in Jewish-Christian relations. He said the past 50 years have seen indifference and conflict turn into collaboration and goodwill, and enemies and strangers have become friends and family.
Mutual understanding, respect and esteem make up the only path for fruitful dialogue, not only with Jews, but with Muslims as well, he said.
"The dialogue we need has to be open and respectful," he said, and includes respecting people's right to life, physical integrity and fundamental freedoms like freedom of conscience, thought, expression and religion.

ASSISI, Italy — A common thread ran through many of the speeches and invocations of this year's "prayer for peace" encounter in Assisi: the uneasy sense that the world is facing not merely conflicts and wars, but a much broader crisis that affects social and cultural life in every country.
Environmental damage, the rich-poor divide, erosion of cultural traditions, terrorism and new threats to society's weakest members were cited as increasingly worrisome developments by speakers at the interfaith gathering in the Italian pilgrimage town Oct. 27.
Catholic News Service
ASSISI, Italy — Taking 300 religious leaders with him on pilgrimage to Assisi, Pope Benedict XVI said people who are suspicious of religion cannot be blamed for questioning God's existence when they see believers use religion to justify violence.
"All their struggling and questioning is, in part, an appeal to believers to purify their faith so that God, the true God, becomes accessible," the pope said Oct. 27 during an interfaith gathering in the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels.
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI prayed that his interreligious pilgrimage to Assisi Oct. 27 would promote dialogue among believers of different faiths and help the world move toward peace and reconciliation.
"In a world still torn by hatred, divisions, selfishness and wars, we want to pray that tomorrow's meeting in Assisi would promote dialogue among people of different religions," the pope said Oct. 26 during a prayer service at the Vatican.

Team of 30 IP experts at Pernod Ricard organized into six dispersed centers of excellence
Less than four years ago, Pernod Ricard created six dedicated hubs of intellectual property lawyers and paralegals specialized by different categories of alcoholic beverages. About 30 of them work in these hubs, which are usually located near the production facilities. All this is spelled out in the Leaders League 2010 Intelligence Report at 72.
This arrangement is analogous to a business unit orientation for a law department but carried out for specialty area of law and expressed geographically. It will confront the inevitable issues of silos, consistency, and competition for resources, but no structure is perfect.

A prominent Pakistani politician was killed outside his London home last night.
Dr Imran Farooq – a leading member of one of Pakistan's largest party, the MQM (Muttahida Quami Movement) party – was found seriously injured at 5.30pm after police were called to reports of a serious assault in Edgware, north London. Dr Farooq, aged 50, was suffering from multiple stab wounds and head injuries. Treated by paramedics at the scene, he was pronounced dead just over an hour later. No arrests were made in connection with the incident.
Mr Farooq is reported to have claimed asylum in the UK after several years on the run as one of Pakistan's most-wanted fugitives. He was wanted on charges that included murder but insisted the claims were politically motivated.

Luca: Only one.Mature
"Luca, my muse and my God," she smiles. Now that is how you stroke a guy's ego.
Hells to the yeah!
I grin and kiss her firmly. "I love you," I whisper in her ear. I'm not just saying that because I just had great sex, or because she called me her god, by the way.
"I love you more." She grins back and I shake my head.
"Impossible," I say confidently. I might not be able to put it into words, or describe it, but I certainly feel like I love her more than anything. Not like many things would get me off drugs. In fact... I don't think anything would get me off them willingly. Other than Gemme. Five days sober. I probably shouldn't feel so proud of myself for that. Heh. She simply smiles at me, listening to what's going on in my head.
"That was enough words." She whispers and I smile. I remember how hard it was for me to even think about the word 'love' before she wiped whatever it was from my memory, and now it's so good to be able to say it without stuttering. There might be things missing, like the knowledge I should apparently have about 3 doors down, but it was worth it, I think.
"Good. 'Cause I dunno how else I would put it," I laugh slightly.
"It's fine. Now I know." I shift and kiss her cheek lightly, content in the quiet as we lay there just hugging.
"I'm gonna have to change these sheets tomorrow," she whispers and I chuckle.
"I'll do it later. I don't wanna sleep in Ben's jizz, thanks," I laugh. How hard can it be to change bed sheets anyways? She laughs too, the idea of me changing bed sheets apparently amusing her. A lot.
"Yeah... I'll watch then." Oh, good.
"An audience! That's just what I need," I laugh again, sitting up. She claps.
"Bravo!" I glower at her as I pull my boxers and pants back on.
"Sorry... I'm gonna get a shower first, I feel stiff." She moans, pushing herself up. I nod and smile as she wanders off to the shower. I go downstairs to get something to eat, passing Benny on the way. I just smirk knowingly at him and he laughs, shaking his head as I walk into the kitchen.
When I'm done eating, I go back upstairs, vaguely remembering her putting sheets in the airing cupboard. I just need to find that first...
When I find it, looking through all the stuff in there is like a mountaineering adventure. In other words, an avalanche. From the pile of clothes and towels and sheets on the floor, I pull out a duvet cover and... "Fuck this," I mutter and put it back in the closet, closing the door on the mess, hoping I'll have time to clear it up before Gemme gets out of the shower. I go into the room that had been mine - and was now Benny's - ignoring Benny's protests as I tear the duvet off the bed, dragging it back to Gemme's room. I take the duvet from the bed in Gemme's room and take that one to Benny and dump it on the end of his bed.
"No offence, mate, but I don't really wanna sleep in your jizz stains," I grin and leave again. I smooth the duvet over Gemme's bed and lie down on it, lighting up a cigarette, waiting for her to get out of the shower. When she walks back in, wearing clean clothes, I smile up at her.
"Sorry, I got impatient," I say, hoping she won't notice that I simply swapped the duvets.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to do it." she noticed, then. Damn.
"I was gonna," I mutter, thinking of the mini mess I made in the airing cupboard, "but I couldn't be bothered. Next time, eh?" I grin; she laughs and rolls her eyes.
"Next time I'll do it." I nod.
"That's an even better plan," I say, blowing smoke out as I talk. I screw my cigarette butt into the ashtray and smile at her.
"Why didn't you use your telekinesis anyway?"
"That only works when I actually know how to do something. I can only make a car move by itself when it has gas because I know fuck all about cars other than how to use the pedals and the stick shift." I shrug. "I guess changing sheets isn't that hard, but I've never done it or watched it being done before."
"It's okay; I'll stick to cleaning the house then." She giggles. I smile, but...
"Now I just feel like some kinda sexist prick," I mutter, lighting another cigarette. Just like my dad. Ugh.
"Why? I said it." she asks, and I shrug again.
"Dunno." I shake my head, clearing my mind, "sorry."
"For a tough guy you apologise a lot." I laugh slightly.
"Only for you," I tell her.
"I feel special." She smiles, "but you don't really need to." I grin and beckon her over to me as I put the cigarette in the ashtray.
"You are special. Only person I'd stay sober and apologise for. Only person I truly care for," I murmur as she sits beside me. I put my arms around her and kiss her firmly, smiling.

I currently have a G19, which is a compact. I like the size and weight of the gun and am thinking about purchasing a 45 auto. Since Glock doesn't offer a 45 auto in compact not sure if I want to go with a 32 (sig 357) which is a compact or a 21, which is a fullsize 45 auto.
Does anyone have both of these and have an opinion. I belong to a club, so no gun rentals.

How about the Glock 36 its about the same size as the Glock 19 in length and actually thinner.
Unless you really like the 357 sig, I would stick to the .45acp. I would also recommend the G36. It isn't as soft shooting as the G21 but it is quite manageable.
*WARNING - I may or may not know what I am talking about.
OR you could try a Glock 30. It's a Glock 19 sized compact .45 that will also take the newer generation Glock 21 mags.
Personally the G21 is my favorite gun by far. It's accurate to 50 yards (haven't tried farther) and reliable as can be. I've spoken with Glock 30 shooters who love theirs as much as I love mine. Having said that, I did have Robar reduce the grip to fit my hand better. As I understand it, the G21SF (Short Frame) is supposed to be really close to what I had done. A Glock 30SF will be pretty close to the feel of your G19.
In teaching shooting I have a dislike of the Glock 36.
I never saw any of them operate as reliably as every other model. To be fair, maybe they just needed 500-800 rounds to settle in.
I had a father son team on my range with 36s. They failed epically through the first two days of training. Moving along we changed ammo and kept plugging away. On the third day after about 800 rounds had been through each gun, Dad started with WWB and the kid had Wolf, which I was using.we switched their ammo with each other and now dad is shooting Wolf and his son shoots WWB. They both finished very well for the course. The son said he is going to turn it in and get a G21.The dad didn't say much of anything, but I'm sure it wasn't a love note to Glock.

In my book, the Glock 30 is a compact 45 (Glock calls it a sub). It is only 0.1 in. longer the the compact G23 and, of course, a bit wider. I have both models and the Glock 30 is not bad for concealed carry, and it is a great shooter. Try one before you decide on some other 45 cal model, you might be glad you did.
Chose a weapon that goes bang EVERY time!
The 32 will fit all your gear for your 19 so that is nice, but the 21 is a fighting machine. Who can argue with 13+1 of .45 acp? Tough choice.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
When faced with this very same question, I went with the G21. Can't say I regret my decision.

my wifes uncle handed me his G30 the other day to check out, and all i can say is that is a fat gun. i really did not like the feel of it at all. i have shot the 21 years back and from what i can remeber the recoil on it was very nice, i can't remeber how it felt in my hands though? i handled the G36 a few weeks ago and that felt very nice in my hands, i would get one if i did not already have a P45. i guess after carrying kahrs for a few years the glocks just seem very fat. i am going to get a G19 soon though. My vote if you really want a 45 for concealment would be the G36. i have never handled a SF model but would really like to get some feedback on how they compare to their counter parts. a significant difference in width or what?
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
I have both a G19 and a G21. Love both guns, but there is a world of difference between the two. If you want a .45 Glock comparable in size to the G19, I would recommend that you take a serious look at the G30 or G30SF. From what I've seen, the G30SF is closer in size to the G19 than the G36, and carries 10+1 rounds (as opposed to a smaller magazine capacity in the G36.) G30 will be my next Glock purchase, and I have the same questions about the SF model as Nick060200. As always, head to a range, rent and/or handle your options and decide what fits YOU best!

Go with the .45 cuz then you have the option to go with conversion barrels. My .45 (Glock 30) has a 10mm and a 9X25Dillon barrel for it.

Thanks for all the replies. Living in NJ, I can not file for another purchase permit for 3 more weeks (just filled one out for 22 handgun). That gives me 3 weeks plus processing time to do some more research.

"I've got a movie in mp4 format on my hard drive. How can I burn this MP4 movie onto a DVD disc for playback on my home DVD player? Or…is this just a waste of time? Or..is there a way to convert the mp4 format into something playable on a DVD player?"
There are many reasons why you might want to burn media files to a disc. For example, if you're planning a long road trip, you might want to select a mix of favorite songs and then burn these songs to an audio CD or DVD disc so that you can play in your car. In this post, you will learn multiple effective solutions to convert and burn MP4 to DVD disc on Mac and Windows.
It's quite easy to burn MP4 to DVD only with the help of DVD burning software. However, it's important for you to know what kind of source MP4 files and target DVD disc you want to burn, since these things would determine which kind of MP4 to DVD burning software you should adopt. For example, to burn MP4 files to data DVD disc, you could directly use Windows Media Player, which is unable to burn MP4 video to video DVD.
"DVD-Video" is a DVD format playable on DVD players and computers. Commercial and rental DVDs are in DVD-Video format. It is playable on most DVD players for homes and computers. DVD-Video format is recommended if you wish to share your videos on DVDs with families and friends, as the format is playable on most DVD players.
On the other hand, "Data DVD" is a DVD format that stores videos as data files on DVD. Contents on Data DVD can be edited on computers, or extra contents can be added later. Data DVDs can be played on computers. For playing back on a stand alone DVD player, the player needs to support the data format of the DVD. Data DVD format is recommended for PC users who wish to edit videos or add extra data on created DVDs.
Being clear of the purpose of burning MP4 to DVD, you could check the following content to get proper MP4 to DVD burning solutions. It should be noted that for every MP4 to DVD burning, these things should be prepared:
If you're a Windows user, Windows Media Player will not be a stranger to you. It's the Window's defaulted media player which also provides the facility to burn CDs and data DVDs with your DVD burner drive. You can use Windows Media Player to copy music, pictures, and videos on your computer to a blank CD or DVD. This process is called burning. Check the following steps to learn how to burn MP4 to DVD with Windows Media Player.
Apple actually offers several apps for its users to edit videos and burn videos to DVD on Mac, like iMovie, iDVD, Final Cut series, etc. iMovie and Final Cut series are used for video editing, while iDVD is a specialized video to DVD bunring program for all Mac computers. iDVD allows user to add QuickTime Movie, MOV, DV, AVI, MP4 video, MP3, WAV, AIFF audio and digital photos to a DVD for playing on DVD player. The below steps show you how to burn MP4 to DVD on Mac with iDVD.
While Windows Media Player only creates data DVD disc from MP4 files and iDVD may fail to recognize your MP4 video source, Leawo DVD Creator successfully avoids these shortcomings and becomes the best choice for you to burn MP4 to DVD on Mac and PC. officially known as Leawo Blu-ray Creator, you can easily convert and burn AVCHD to playable DVD disc for playback on your home Blu-ray Disc Player or PS3.
Download and install Leawo DVD Creator on your computer. Then follow the below steps to learn how to convert MP4 to DVD on PC and Mac (The Mac version shares the same MP4 to DVD burning steps):
Note: Insert a blank and writable DVD disc into the disc recorder drive if you want to burn MP4 to DVD disc. At the bottom, select disc type according to the disc you've inserted to the disc drive, and set disc aspect ratio and quality.

Taking the reins: The distrubution of Fiat and Alfa Romeo in Australia has now officially been taken over by Chrysler.
1 May 2012
By MIKE COSTELLO
CHRYSLER Group Australia will look to expand the dealer network of the Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Fiat Commercials brands as it settles into its new role as official distributor, starting from today.
There are currently 17 sales centres Down Under for Alfa Romeo – most of which also sell the Fiat passenger line-up that for now comprises solely of the 500 city car – and 18 selling Fiat commercials.
Chrysler Australia director of corporate affairs Lenore Fletcher told GoAuto that there had been "a lot of interest" in both brands from potential new dealers.
"We have access to quite a wide number of dealers underneath the Chrysler/Jeep brand as well, so our contacts in the dealer world are quite extensive", she said.
"I would say that it is highly likely that there will be additional Fiat/Alfa dealers going forward."
The company has confirmed that all existing dealer agreements will remain in place for at least the next nine months, at which point they will be free to decide whether to stay on under the new distributorship.
Chrysler recently held an inaugural dealer lunch in Melbourne, where it introduced all Fiat and Alfa dealers to the new management, headed by Chrysler Group Australia managing director Clyde Campbell.
Ms Fletcher said it was "very positive in terms of the way that the dealers were reacting to us; I guess it was a little bit of a mutual admiration".
Chrysler takes over the helm as distributor from Ateco Automotive, who re-introduced Alfa Romeo to the Australian market in 1997 – five years after the Fiat Group removed it – with the launch of the Spider and GTV coupe.
Fiat re-emerged under Ateco's distributorship in 2001 with the Ducato commercial range, with the passenger range arriving in 2006 with the Punto hatch.
Ms Fletcher said Chrysler was "extremely grateful for the job that Ateco have done with establishing the brands in the Australian market, and how they looked after them over the past few years".
From top: Fiat Freemont, Fiat 500 TwinAir and Alfa Romeo 4C.However, she said Chrysler would do things a little differently by leveraging its factory links with Fiat and Alfa Romeo to get better vehicle supply, and would seek to broaden the current portfolios.
"From our management team's point of view, if there's the possibility of having a steering wheel on the right-hand side of the vehicle, we will be looking at it," said Ms Fletcher.
"There will be no shrinking violets when it comes to looking at potential product for the Australian market, that's for sure."
Possible new additions to the line-up include the Fiat Viaggio small car shown at last week's Beijing motor show, as well as the Freemont MPV – essentially a re-badged Dodge Journey.
As we reported last week, the Dodge brand looks set to be dropped from the Australian market as part of a wider global strategy, and Fiat is likely to take up the vacancy with its take on the popular Journey, which accounted for 1016 sales last year.
Ms Fletcher confirmed that Chrysler had taken on certain "brand specific" people from Ateco, including five Alfa Romeo staff involved in parts and accessories.
Ateco public affairs manager Edward Rowe told GoAuto that most other Ateco staff in areas like distribution, warranty, finance and IT will remain with the company, which represents brands including Citroen, Lotus, Great Wall and Chery.
Mr Rowe said Ateco's main legacy as distributor for Fiat passenger, Fiat Commercials and Alfa Romeo was to establish each as "viable and profitable" businesses.
"I think the other thing that we've transformed is the reputation of those brands in Australia; they now have a strong reputation and we've sold back a strong viable business (to Chrysler)," he said.
Ateco – which has previously been the agent for Volkswagen, Audi, Suzuki and Kia – is understood to be looking to add new brands to its portfolio, but Mr Rowe said its policy is "not to talk about individual companies or brands until we've completed the negotiations".
However, he said the group's long-term target is "to have representation in all of the major market sectors of Australia with our brands".
"Chery and Great Wall will cover increasing numbers of areas in the market, but there are still market sectors that we are looking at, particularly commercial vehicles," he said.
One possible candidate is iconic British marque MG, now owned by Chinese company Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), which as we reported last week is understood to be the target of at least two independent importers.
At last week's Beijing motor show, MG unveiled the radical Icon small SUV concept, which took inspiration from classic MG sportscars as well as chic modern SUVs like the Mini Countryman and Range Rover Evoque.
