Effect of Fractionated Dose of Radiotherapy on Oral Mucosa in Head and Neck Cancer Patients: A Cytological Assessment
S. Khan1, SMA Feroz2, M. Jain3, V. Mathur4, Sameera Khan5
Background: Cancer therapy couples with it a plethora of complications of short and long term effects which can be so distressing that patient may tolerate only lower less-effective doses of therapy, may postpone treatments or will discontinue treatment entirely. Fractionated dose of radiotherapy coupled with therapy induce local or systemic infections due to high cellular turnover rates of the oral mucosa, diverse and complex microflora and trauma to oral tissues. Several mucosal abnormalities often results in epithelial and glandular destruction and inflammation, which can be so devastating that it may cause atypical changes on the area exposed to radiation. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using cytological evaluation to detect oral epithelial atypia among Head and Neck cancer patients receiving fractionated dose of radiotherapy.
Methods: Study was conducted on 125 head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. Subjects were divided into 5 study groups on the basis of fractionated dose of radiotherapy from 10th-50th fractions respectively. Mucosal changes were evaluated by exfoliative cytology and atypical changes and inflammatory cell infiltration were assessed.
Results: Without prior knowledge of the subjects' group, oral epithelial atypia was detected with increase fractionated dose of radiation. Dense inflammatory nfiltrate were identified in nearly all study groups irrespective of dose of radiotherapy.
Conclusion: Cytological atypia and inflammatory infiltrates were detected after exposure to radiotherapy.
Keywords: Atypia, cytology, oral mucosa, radiotherapy, inflammatory infiltrate

P. Kannan1, A. Mukherji1, K. Saravanan1, K.S. Reddy2, S. Vivekanandam1, C. Shamsudheen3, V. Santhosh4
Objective: To assess the change in the quality of life (QOL) in Oropharyngeal, Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal cancer patients treated with concomitant boost radiotherapy by Volumetric Intensity Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) technique.
Keywords: Head and neck cancers, volumetric arc therapy in head and cancers, concomitant boost radiotherapy, IMRT, altered fractionation, quality of life, head and neck cancers.
Prostate biopsy handling: special tissue embedding technique with sponges affects the yield of prostatic tissue available for microscopic examination
K. Sitpura, E. Salmo
Prostate cancer is considered as the second most frequently diagnosed malignancy and the sixth leading cause of cancer death in males. The quality of the prostate biopsy and its processing techniques may influence the outcome of the histopathological assessment which is the gold standard for cancer diagnosis. An audit of 240 prostate biopsies from 20 patients was conducted to compare the quality and length of tissue before and after the implementation of sponge embedding technique. The average length of prostatic biopsy before the procedure was 5.8 mm (range 1-15 mm) and the average length after implementation of the procedure was 9.5 mm (range 2-17 mm). This equates to a total of 60% increase in tissue volume after implementation of sponge embedding. A simple modification in the embedding of prostate biopsy in the laboratory resulted in higher quality biopsies available for histopathological examination.
Keywords: Prostate, biopsy, cancer, sponge, technique
Expression of VEGF-A in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Correlation with Morphologic Types, Grade and Clinical Stage
C.S. Premalata1, K. Umadevi2, K. Shobha2, M. Anurekha1, L. Krishnamoorthy3
Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression pattern of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF A) in epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC) and to correlate the intensity of expression with morphologic types, histologic grade and clinical stage of the disease.
Keywords: ovarian cancer; tissue microarray; VEGF, VEGF-A expression
Efficacy of Different Protocols in Treatment of Nephroblastoma: A revisit
O.M. Zakaria1,2, M.Y.I. Daoud1 , S.H. Farrag2, AS Al Mulhim1
Background: Management of Nephroblastoma (NB) remains a subject of debate despite the fact that it ranked first among primary childhood's renal neoplasm. We have previously discussed this issue 13, 14, yet, the sample size was limited.
Key words: Nephroblastoma, SIOP, NWTSG4, Children, Chemotherapy and Surgery.
Ectopic Intrathymic Parathyroid adenoma demonstrated on Tc-99m Sestamibi SPECT-CT
S. Usmani1, M. Oteifa2, F. Abu Huda1, A. Javaid1, H.G. Amanguno3, F. Al Kandari1
Intrathymic parathyroid adenoma is a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. In this case, Tc-99m Sestamibi SPECT-CT successfully localized abnormal tracer uptake in the mediastinum with corresponding low density lesion on CT images suggestive of mediastinal parathyroid adenoma which late on confirmed on histopathology. After the median sternotomy a large intrathymic parathyroid adenoma was identified and excised. With the help of gamma probe the surgeons detect the lesion early and with more confidence as well as reducing the total operation time. Tc-99m Sestamibi SPECT-CT scintigraphy and gamma probe localization is recommended for preoperative and intra operative localization of ectopic parathyroid adenomas.
Keywords: Tc-99m Sestamibi SPECT-CT parathyroid scintigraphy, parathyroid adenoma
Is cutaneous leishmaniasis a risk factor for basal cell carcinoma?
M. Chisti, R. Almasri, I. Hamadah
Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common epithelial neoplasm of skin. Risk factors for the development of BCC include intermittent intense sun exposure, radiation therapy, family history of BCC, immune suppression and fair complexion, especially red hair. It can originate in scars like small pox, vaccination, chicken pox or surgical scars.
Keywords: basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous leishmaniasis, scar
Bilateral Choroidal Metastases from Prostate Cancer revealed in a patient under Abiraterone - Fourteen years after diagnosis
H.R. Kourie1, J. Antoun2, F. Bteich1, A.Jalkh2, M. Ghosn1
Choroidal metastasis from prostate cancer is very rare and usually presents late during the disease. Since 2010, many new drugs were approved in the treatment of castrationresistant prostate cancer, including Abiraterone acetate. We report a case of bilateral choroidal metastases from prostate cancer 3 months after the initiation of Abiraterone. Abiraterone was not efficient in controlling the progression of the disease in this case, especially the choroidal metastasis. More case reports are essential in order to evaluate the role of Abiraterone in controlling choroidal metastases from prostate adenocarcinoma.
Keywords: prostate cancer, abiraterone, metastases
Spectrum of Presentation of Anorectal Malignant Melanoma: Experience of a Tertiary Care Centre of North India
A. Gupta1, P. Prakash2, A. Rattan2, N. Wadhwa3, S. Kumar2, V. Rathi4
Malignant melanoma of the anorectum is a rare but highly aggressive tumor. We report our experience of anorectal melanoma in five patients. Of these, two have advanced disease, two had localized disease and one patient had florid systemic metastases with a history of hemorrhoidectomy one year prior. One patient whose metastatic workup was negative, expired on post-op day 15 of abdominoperineal resection due to unsuspected but florid cerebral metastases. Another patient with localized disease underwent an APR with curative resection and post-op whole body PET scan negative for occult or residual disease. Advanced stage patients were referred for chemotherapy. To improve prognosis, it is important to detect anorectal melanoma at an early stage.
Keywords: anorectum, melanoma, malignant
Metaplastic carcinoma of breast: A case series of seven patients from a tertiary care center and review of literature
R. Benson1, R. Madan1,2, P.K. Julka1, G.K. Rath1
Purpose: Metaplastic carcinoma of breast (MCB) is a rare histological subtype of breast carcinoma and accounts for less than 1 percent of the total breast cancer cases. Here we are reporting a series of seven patients of MCB from single institute along with review of literature.
Keywords: Metaplastic breast cancer, treatment, outcome
DNA methylation and Cancer: Identifying and targeting epigenetic modifications may be the future of cancer therapy?
G. Maresca1, P.S. Wismayer2
DNA methylation has been recognized as one of the most important epigenetic mechanisms regulating the expression and inhibition of genes giving rise to an organism's phenotype. It is hence of no surprise that when DNA methylation mechanisms are disrupted by intrinsic or extrinsic causes, the likelihood of tumourigenesis increases. Both hypermethylation and hypomethylation may predispose to cancer formation through aberrant inhibition or expression of particular genes and this is seen in different types of cancers, such as laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and acute myeloid leukaemia. By increasing our knowledge and understanding of these epigenetic mechanisms, we will be able to develop diagnostic techniques such as methylation profiling, to screen for and detect aberrant methylation patterns which may predispose to cancer formation in our patients. This would enable early diagnosis and treatment which may also involve the use of drugs developed to provide directed epigenetic therapy, shifting away from the current trend which involves the use of radical anti-cancer therapy. These diagnostic and treatment options may be the future of cancer management.
Keywords: Epigenetics, DNA Methylation, Cancer, Epigenetic therapy, methylation profiling
Novel agents in second-line therapy for EGFR wild-type Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
L. El Amarti1,2, I. Elghissassi1,2, M. Layachi1,2, H. Mrabti1,2, H. Errihani1,2
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide owing to its advanced-stage at the time of diagnosis. The majority of patients will require a second-line therapy after progression during first-line treatment. While treatment for NSCLC with EGFR mutation or EML4/ALK fusion, target therapy is the favored second-line therapy if not already used in first-line therapy, NSCLC with EGFR wild-type remains an unmet need and many oncologists favor cytotoxic therapy. Recently, a better understanding of lung cancer biology, with a better selection of patients based on histology, molecular biology and the identification of potential target antigens in the immune system have significantly improved patient outcome. This article will provide an update on different treatment options available for patients with EGFR wild-type advanced NSCLC who relapse after first-line therapy, which includes essentially ramucirumab, vandetanib, nivolumab, and pembrolizumab and considerations that may allow clinicians to a better choice of agent for second-line therapy.
Keywords: EGFR wild type, non-smal

|Daniel's Mystery Fruit Tree in Full Bloom, March 2011.
|Mystery fruit from my backyard, June 2011.
|Fruit from Daniel's Mystery Fruit Tree, November 2010.
Of course, all of this information just makes us more excited to solve both mysteries and we're hoping readers-- especially our friend Bharati-- can help. At the end of this missive, I am reprinting the letter that Daniel wrote to Bharati via this blog updating her (and the rest of us) on the fruit situation this season. If anyone has input or research suggestions for solving our botanical mysteries, we'd love to hear from you.
|Mystery Fruit leaves and pits, October 2011. Photo courtesy Daniel Marlos 2011.
Dear Susan,
Where we last left this story last season, your friend Bharati wanted to see a cross section of what I have been calling a Sliva or a Mystery Fruit. Today was the first opportunity I had to get a photo in quite some time, and to my dismay, the tree was stripped of fruit. There were not as many drupes this year and they were not yet ready when I checked two weeks ago. While I am unable to provide Bharati with a cross section of the fruit, I can provide her with a photo of a pile of pits. The squirrels sit on this stump and eat the fruits. If you recall, that was the catalyst for my baking experiments last year. There were a few pits on the stump and I gathered the others from around the stump. There is a small branch with leaves from the tree included in the photo. They appear more like peach pits than plum pits.

Pence moves Lottery chief to transportation agency
The director of the Hoosier Lottery is moving to the Indiana Department of Transportation for his second stint as the agency's head.
Governor Mike Pence announced Wednesday that Karl Browning will serve as his new INDOT commissioner.
Pence's announcement marks a return for Browning, who ran INDOT from 2006-2009. The agency is overseeing work to complete major projects, including the expansion of U.S. 31 and the Interstate 69 extension.
Brandye Hendrickson will continue serving as INDOT's interim commissioner until Browning takes over.
INDOT commissioner Michael Cline stepped down as the agency's chief last month to take a job with former Gov. Mitch Daniels at Purdue University. Numerous Daniels aides have decamped state government over the last few months to work with Daniels on the West Lafayette campus.

I hope they keep it and tear it down. This noise cannot be normal. I mean hello if they rent you a car get a 2012 Focus and try it. I'd bet you that is is quite! I have driven several others and they are quite. I feel your frustration, seems we can't get any resolve and Ford just wants to skirt the issue.
Hey just put it in sport mode and drive the heel out of it! I hear from Ford that will make it all better!

Courtesy: MAAC Sports Related Links 2011-12 MBB Preseason Poll Sign Up For Free Email Updates Springfield, Mass. - Iona College, the runner-up in last year's title game, is the preseason favorite to win the 2012 MAAC Men's Basketball Championship, according to the MAAC Preseason Coaches' Poll. Iona received eight of the first-place votes and 97 points, followed by last season's preseason pick Fairfield University, which received two first-place votes and 92 points. Loyola University Maryland finished in third with 76 points. Rider University followed in fourth place with 71 points, while defending champion Saint Peter's College took fifth with 52 points. Siena College received 44 points to finish sixth, followed by Niagara University (42 points) in seventh, Manhattan College (33) in eighth, Canisius College (25) in ninth and Marist College (18) in 10th to round out the poll. Last season, the Gaels made their first appearance in the MAAC Championship final since winning the league crown in 2006 and also reached the title game of the 2011 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Iona returns three starters from that squad -- preseason All-MAAC First Team picks Mike Glover and Scott Machado and Third Team member Kyle Smyth. Glover, named to the Preseason Top 50 List for the John R. Wooden Award, is the league's top returning scorer (18.4 ppg) and rebounder (10.1 rpg). Machado finished second in the nation in assists per game with 7.6 an outing. Smyth averaged 10.1 points per game during his sophomore campaign, connecting on 45.1 percent of his shots from the field and 39.3 percent from three-point range. Second-year head coach Tim Cluess will also look to senior Jermel Jenkins, junior Lamont Jones and sophomore Sean Armand to help lead the Maroon and Gold in their quest for an eighth MAAC Championship. Fairfield returns four starters and eight letterwinners that helped earn the MAAC regular season title last season. The Stags, who previously registered a league-high scoring defense of 58.3 points per game, will be led by preseason All-MAAC First Team selections Derek Needham and Ryan Olander as well as Rakim Sanders of the Second Team. Needham recorded 14.1 points and 4.5 assists per game during his sophomore campaign, while Olander averaged 10.4 points per game and shot 53.2 percent from the floor. First-year head coach Sydney Johnson will also rely on the efforts of juniors Colin Nickerson and Sean Crawford along with sophomores Maurice Barrow and Jamel Fields as the Stags look to earn the program's first MAAC championship title in 15 years. 2011-2012 MAAC Preseason Coaches' Poll 1.

After two ads, Microsoft has dragged Jerry Seinfeld behind the shed. What happened back there, no one knows, but sources say that there was the recitation of a mildly amusing nasal monologue ( "Say, what's the deal with hog slaughtering tubs?"), the sound of thrashing and then sudden silence. Good riddance.
This is the new advertisement campaign: "I'm a PC." I thought this was going to be awful: on the surface of things, a John Hodgman look-alike is such a creatively bereft idea that I wondered how Microsoft could not realize that such an ad was an admission that Apple had won.
But Microsoft's done something clever here. The Hodgman doppelganger is just the scene setter, a tacit acknowledgement of Apple's campaign while, simultaneously, being an implicit observation that in Apple's ads, the PC is portrayed by the hipper, smarter guy. The ad then quickly flutters through dozens of PC users: from adorably gawky schoolgirls in Africa to astronauts and famous celebrities. A sea of cool, creative, innovative and intelligent people who — with few exceptions — do far more to improve the world than the insufferable Justin Long.
It falls apart in the last ten seconds: some pretentious egghead mumbles something about "not being a human thinking or doing, but a human being." He then leans back in his chair, a wash of smugness inflating his face, as if this were a fact to be proud of. Does Microsoft really want to conflate the mere, passive act of existing with its operating system? "Hey, just like Windows, existing's basically all I ever do anymore!"
But that sort of meaningless pretentiousness can be preened out in future ads. This is a great Parthian shot at Apple... a year and a half too late, alas. The message is clear: "Yeah, I'm a PC. So fucking what, asshole?" Microsoft should have been saying this all along.

I am curious on what the cost is to instal a new or low mileage 5.9L 24 valve Cummins + new or low mileage Auto. trans into 3rd generation Dodge Ram 3500 (1 ton) pickup that came from the factory with a Cummins and Auto trans.
Just the installation cost , not the cost of the parts.
I was wondering if it might be more cost effective than rebuilding the engine and trans.
I realize costs vary by region, so best estimate will do. Oh and I am in Wisconsin.

DeNormandie Named to BIG EAST All-Freshman Team
Nov. 10, 2011
HARRISON, N.J. - University of Cincinnati men's soccer forward Cole DeNormandie (Lincoln, Mass./Lincoln-Sudbury Regional) was named to the BIG EAST Conference all-Freshman team on Thursday night at an awards ceremony held on the eve of Friday's conference semifinal matches at Red Bull Arena.
DeNormandie becomes the first Bearcat to earn BIG EAST all-Freshman honors since UC joined the conference in 2005. He is the sixth all-freshman honoree during head coach Hylton Dayes' tenure at UC.
The 6-0 forward led the Bearcats with seven goals and 15 points in starting all 18 contests up top. He was the second-leading freshman goalscorer in the conference and scored the most goals for a UC freshman since Paul Jungkunz scored 12 in 1983.
The Bearcats finished the season 6-11-1 overall dealing with injuries and youth throughout the campaign. UC started five true freshmen and a first-year transfer, getting 14 of its 22 goals from first-year players.

International Medical Corps is a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs. Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, International Medical Corps is a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that build local capacity in underserved communities worldwide. By offering training and health care to local populations and medical assistance to people at highest risk, and with the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency situations, International Medical Corps rehabilitates devastated health care systems and helps bring them back to self-reliance.
International Medical Corps Worldwide is a global humanitarian alliance that comprises the resources and capabilities of two independent affiliate organizations, International Medical Corps and International Medical Corps UK. Together, our mission is to save lives and relieve suffering through the provision of health care and training. With headquarters in the United States and the United Kingdom respectively, we collaborate to maximize resources for the delivery of appropriate relief and development activities.
The establishment of International Medical Corps in 1984 was a development that had global significance, not because it added another name to the pool of international relief agencies, but because it boldly declared the emergence of a new kind of relief agency. By providing health care through training, International Medical Corps challenged— indeed, changed—the very definition of relief.
International Medical Corps was founded by Dr. Robert Simon, who, as a young emergency-room physician at UCLA Medical Center, was moved to take action after reading of the tragic plight of the Afghan people as a result of the 1979 Soviet invasion and subsequent occupation. All but 200 of the country's 1,500 doctors had been executed, imprisoned, or exiled, and all relief agencies had been ordered out of the country, leaving ill and injured civilians, pregnant women and developing children with essentially nowhere to turn for basic health care. Simon began making trips to Afghanistan to provide medical assistance directly to civilians. But he also saw that the problem was much too big for one person to tackle, and he spent much of the summer of 1984 contacting international humanitarian agencies about setting up operations in Afghanistan. To his dismay, each explained that their mandates did not allow them to work in country. So in September 1984, he founded International Medical Corps, knowing that it would need to take a different approach to relief. "I saw right away that a few little clinics weren't going to amount to much," Simon recalls. "The real problem for the Afghans was how to reconstruct their entire medical system. Something more had to be done." International Medical Corps quickly shifted its focus a few miles to the east, where, amid the relative stability of Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province, it could set up a full-time Afghan medic training center. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) liked this strategy and gave International Medical Corps its first grant for training. International Medical Corps recruited trainees from the most remote and underserved areas of Afghanistan who, at the end of their nine- month training, would travel back to their communities with a stock of essential equipment, supplies and medications to set up clinics, which were resupplied every six months. At the end of one nine-month training, our Afghan medics could diagnose and treat 75 to 80 percent of the injuries and illnesses they encountered in the field. In 1986 Nancy A. Aossey joined International Medical Corps as President & CEO and has led the organization since. "At that time, almost everyone in the relief community said training in a war zone couldn't be done," says Aossey. "The prevailing opinion was that you couldn't simultaneously provide relief and build local capacity in such an unstable environment. International Medical Corps challenged that notion." Under Aossey's leadership, another USAID grant soon followed, and with this steady stream of support, International Medical Corps went on to produce astounding results. By 1990, International Medical Corps had graduated more than 500 medics who helped established 57 clinics and 10 hospitals in 18 provinces throughout rural Afghanistan—serving more than 50,000 patients per month. International Medical Corps has gone on to provide lifesaving care in 70 countries worldwide, responding to almost every emergency in the last quarter of a century. It deploys quickly in emergencies and then stays on to teach lifesaving skills so that people locally can become self-reliant. Its training assures continuity and a new level of care for those impacted by conflict, tragedy and extreme poverty. Over the years, International Medical Corps has responded to the world's most devastating man-made and natural disasters, including:
More recently, International Medical Corps has been fighting the Ebola outbreak on the frontlines in West Africa. International Medical Corps was also a first responder after the the typhoon in the Philippines, the cyclone in India, the humanitarain crisis in Syria and surrounding countries, the violent uprisings in South Sudand and CAR amongst others. International Medical Corps is also among the dwindling number of humanitarian agencies still working in Darfur and Iraq.

New York, NY —
State regulators have wrapped up the most extensive report so far on last July's fatal steam pipe explosion in midtown.
It says that Con Edison tried to repair the section of pipe responsible for the blast at least 2 different times over the previous 2 years.
The report, by the state Public Service Commission, says that it took months for the utility to gather the necessary materials and designs and that when they tried, the conditions in the manhole were too hot or dangerous to do the work.
The report calls Con Ed's inspection and maintenance "lax and deficient."
The utility says it will work with state regulators to ensure the safe operation of its steam system.

"We'd been drinking so I started at a four. He was on top and climaxed first. Next he got my vibrator and helped me finish--thank God for sex toys! Then we basked in the afterglow."
"We tried a new position which got me close, but I got frustrated and fell back to a five--then we used some old favorites and it was a quick trip to 10 from there!"
"My first orgasm happened quickly, and I was still turned on, so I decided to try for two. I had to work really hard for the second, after which I immediately collapsed."

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue…
By Arianna Johnson
February 11, 2011
Valentines Day is essentially the national day of chocolate. Everywhere you go you see those huge heart boxes filled with an array of confections. Now, Im not going to attempt to make chocolate or suggest that anyone does because, for one, Im pretty sure you need training, and two, its ridiculously time consuming; Im no Chocolatier, so Ill just leave that to Godiva.
I was brainstorming, trying to think of something not too cliché, but also something that everyone can enjoy. And believe it or not there are some people out there who dont like chocolate; shocking, I know, but its true. I have come across some of these people and I have yet to find a good reason as to why, expect for allergies. To me chocolate makes the world go round any time of year, but especially on February fourteenth. However, as I searched, I did find a recipe that sounds quite tasty and doesnt contain any chocolate. But for those chocoholics out there like me, Im including a recipe for that as well.
And dont feel bad if you dont have a Valentine to share these with. Just be with someone that you love and spend a little quality time with them. Heck, if it has to be your dog, thats perfectly fine. Then hopefully next year, the kiss you receive wont be wrapped in silver foil.
Raspberry Lemon Heart Cakes (Serves 4)
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter, melted, warm
1 cup milk, room temperature
Raspberry jam
Prepared lemon curd
Powdered sugar
Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line heavy 18×12×1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk first 3 ingredients in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl until very pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Beat in butter, then milk. Fold in flour mixture, then just beat until blended. Spread batter evenly into baking sheet.
Bake for 26 to 28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top in lightly golden. Place baking sheet on a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Using 4-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 8 hearts from cake. Spread thin layer of jam over top of 1 heart cake. Spread heaping teaspoon of lemon curd over; top with other cake heart. Repeat with remaining cakes. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and garnish with fresh raspberries.

Fighter Bio:
Ray "Sugarfoot" Sefo is a professional New Zealand kickboxer, boxer and martial artist. He is five time Muay Thai World champion and eight time K-1 World Grand Prix Finals tournament participant, currently living in Las Vegas, NV and training with Xtreme Couture.
Trained in Wing Chun as a youth, Sefo developed his Muay Thai fighting style under Thai legend Kiosot as well as Lollo Heimuli. Sefo had an impressive unbeaten record as an amateur and a professional in the Oceania kickboxing league. Ray Sefo trained in the same gym with Jason Suttie, Jayson Vemoa and brother Rony Sefo.
His first major breakthrough was becoming a WKA cruiser weight champion, after which he also acted as a sparring partner for fellow New Zealander David Tua when Tua first returned to New Zealand for a fight after turning pro.
Holding five world title belts, Sefo is well respected in the professional fighting community, having been invited to compete in the prestigious K-1 events and holds an impressive record in the K-1 World Grand Prix events and maintains the highest KO ratio in K-1.
Sefo is particularly known for being able to take (and dish out) a tremendous amount of punishment. At times he will taunt his opponents by letting his hands and his guard down completely and inviting them to hit him repeatedly. Some enjoy his antics but others find them akin to showboating. Nevertheless his peers respect him, other fighters consider him an aggressive and competitive fighter but only in the ring.
He excels at fast and hard combinations from all angles, excellent footwork and speed, often employing uppercuts to get through the opponents defence, lastly he is known for devastating and painful kicks including lowkicks and kicks to the face.
Sefo is considered one of the very best K-1 fighters to never win the title. In the K-1 organization Sefo has fought some of the best and/or most well known names including Ernesto Hoost, Semmy Schilt, Jérôme Le Banner, Remy Bonjasky, Peter Aerts -all (former) World Champions and many others including Bob Sapp.
Because in K-1 World GP 2006 in Osaka, Sefo lost to Stefan Leko, and also he did not get any regional GP title in 2007, he could not participate in K-1 World GP 2007 in Seoul Final 16. However, as FEG enlisted Sefo to the match as a fan-favorite fighter, he faced Peter Aerts, one of the legends still dominant over K-1.
Titles Held:
2000 K-1 World Grand Prix Finalist.
1998 WKBF Super Heavyweight World champion.
1997 WKBA Super Heavyweight World champion.
1996 WMTF World Heavyweight champion.
1996 ISKA World Super Cruiserweight Champion.

Gay Africans and Arabs come out online
By Andrew Heavens
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - When Ali started blogging that he was Sudanese and gay, he did not realize he was joining a band of African and Middle Eastern gays and lesbians who, in the face of hostility and repression, have come out online.
But within days the messages started coming in to black-gay-arab.blogspot.com.
"Keep up the good work," wrote Dubai-based Weblogger 'Gay by nature'. "Be proud and blog the way you like," wrote Kuwait's gayboyweekly. Close behind came comments, posts and links purporting to be from almost half the countries in the Arab League, including Egypt, Algeria, Bahrain and Morocco.
Ali, who lists his home town as Khartoum but lives in Qatar, had plugged into a small, self-supporting network of people who have launched Web sites about their sexuality, while keeping their full identity secret. Caution is crucial - homosexual acts are illegal in most countries in Africa and the Middle East, with penalties ranging from long-term imprisonment to execution.
"The whole idea started as a diary. I wanted to write what's on my mind and mainly about homosexuality," he told Reuters in an e-mail. "To tell you the truth, I didn't expect this much response."
In the current climate, bloggers say they are achieving a lot just by stating their nationality and sexual orientation.
"If you haven't heard or seen any gays in Sudan then allow me to tell you 'You Don't live In The Real World then,"' Ali wrote in a message to other Sudanese bloggers. "I'm Sudanese and Proud Gay Also."
His feelings were echoed in a mini-manifesto at the start of the blog "Rants and raves of a Kenyan gay man" that stated: "The Kenyan gay man is a myth and you may never meet one in your lifetime. However, I and many others like me do exist; just not openly. This blog was created to allow access to the psyche of me, who represents the thousands of us who are unrepresented." Continued...

Discussion in 'Android' started by floky, Nov 9, 2011.
Please help, the same problem.
Any news on the project? I'm have iOS version and don't have much time to change Resource load scheme to AssetBundle(.
very much looking forward to this... For the sake of not sitting on my ass just waiting for this to come through, I worked on porting our iOS project to Android and getting it to work with AssetBundles (nightmare...). Main issues that seemed impossible to solve were the terrible loading times (sometimes as high as 10 minutes) and crashes between scenes (probably due to running out of memory). Noticed some very nice new features in the Unity 3.5b update though (keep in mind it's a beta, it's still pretty buggy for the moment):
These solved most of our issues...amazing christmas present from Unity! The game sometimes still crashes between scenes though and there's still some minor 'bugs'. However, whenever this installer appears I'll most likely chuck out the AssetBundles and use Floky's system anyways, it looks very promising...
Thanks for making this huge community effort Floky! You're the man!
I'm really looking forward to this, too. I've also looked at the Amazon Kindle Fire, and their store doesn't have this lame size restriction, so maybe I'll try there first while waiting for this Android Market solution.
Regarding to application size, does anyone tried the unity android eclipse integration:
If you use it with an empty unity project, your apk will be at least 15MB sized! This is because of the asset folder.
Did anyone overcome this problem (without using those separate assets download methods)?
Does anyone know if with the Pro License this asset folder will be reduced?
I am really sorry for the delay. I was very busy at work with solving some unexpected issues for an important deadline and couldn't find the time to prepare the project for uploading it on Google Projects.I just have to prepare one of Unity's sample iOS projects as a demo for porting it quickly to Android using this tool and I just need to organize a bit the documentation so people will be able to quickly understand how to use the tool. It seems all the bugs have been crushed (but, never say never ).
Right now I'm out of town for Christmas but as soon as I get back I'll do everything I can to wrap this up to upload it and post the link here. Sorry again for the delay. The tool is finished and has already been successfully used in production here at Mobility Games.
It is good to know you are still working in it
Just wondering how it was going, Floky? Just a thought: Since it's going to be open source any way, you might want to consider releasing it in its current state and letting interested parties work on bug fixes or documentation. Might always have bugs no matter how much debugging considering all the different app types out there.
I'm waiting for this to release my game
Ok guys, I'm not going to hold you back any longer. I just can't seem to find the time to prepare a sample Unity project with a short usage tutorial and put everything in a Google project. The holidays and preparations for the New Year with friends and family is my priority right now.
But I've managed to quickly cook up some README.txt files in the important folders of the project.
Without any further delay here it is guys, a small Unity Android Build Tool:
View attachment $Unity Android Build Tools.rar
Until next year, I won't be able to respond to too many questions.
BTW, it only works on the Mac OS. No importance has yet been given to Windows compatibility. (but this will eventually be fixed, sry Windows Unity users)
Hope it helps you guys! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! (too soon? )
Wish I had an Android license right now to test this on. Thanks floky! You proved one can find a way despite what other people say.
Thanks for releasing it floky!
When you have some time, a tutorial would be appreciated!
Yep, didn't have time right now. Until then read the README.txt files in the project folders.
There is one describing the setup process.
Best of luck!
Thanks floky! I'll check it
Happy new year!!
I'm getting the following errors when trying to export Jar file of UnityInstaller
JAR creation failed. See details for additional information.
Class files on classpath not found or not accessible for: 'Installer/src/com/mobilitygames/downloader/Downloader.java'

Class files on classpath not found or not accessible for: 'Installer/src/com/userCustom/installer/InstallerActivity.java'
Spartan, I think the JAR export failed because Eclipse didn't manage to compile the project java files.
After you imported the eclipse project into Eclipse have you checked to see if you have any compile or classpath errors before exporting the src to jar? If you have project classpath errors and you have the Eclipse Android ADT plugin installed then it should warn you to use the ADT auto fix project dependencies and then do a project cleanup. It's standard procedure when importing another Android Eclipse project.
Hope it helps.
Don't worry, as soon as I have some time (after the holidays) I will write a detailed tutorial about the setup and Eclipse import project and export jar procedure.
@floky, thanks, I'm new on Eclipse , I will wait your tutorial
I'm getting this error:
Description Resource Path Location Type
Project 'Installer' is missing required library: '/Users/florin/Desktop/AndroidPlayer/bin/classes.jar' Installer Build path Build Path Problem
Ups, I think I forgot to mention this in the setup process. You must change the classpath for this Unity Android library. Or better, I can directly include it from Unity 3.4 so you don't have to. I will fix this and re-upload the project here.
Until then, Eclipse is looking for a file classes.jar located in your installed Unity package in the folder PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer. You must set the correct path to this lib in your Eclipse project Build Path settings. Right-click your Eclipse project and find the option "Build Path" i think it's called.
@floky, what do you mean with Unity Package? Which one? Did I miss to download a unity package for this project?
In your zip file there isn't a file called: classes.jar
update: found the class on unity installation folder
Yeah, sorry about the misunderstanding created. I meant to say the unity installation folder instead of Unity package.(too much drinking)

This usually happens when you forgot to name the bundle of your unity project with the same name as the Eclipse Installer package and like I explained in the setup process in one of the README.txt files, this causes a mismatch in the auto-generated R.java class.
So to fix this, if you're using the eclipse installer template project as you find it in the project archive, you will see that the android package name of the eclipse project (you can see it in the AndroidManifest.xml in the Eclipse Installer project) is "com.unityInstaller.template". Name your unity project bundle the same: com.unityInstaller.template and you shouldn't have these conflicts anymore.
Remember, the Unity project bundle name must be the same as the Android manifest package name from YourUnityProject/Assets/Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml. (package="com.unityInstaller.template ") And this package name must also be set the same in the AndroidManifest.xml from your Eclipse Installer project (in this case the template installer).
This is happening when I try to Export Install src folder as a Jar, it doesn't have a relation with Unity yet , so it doesn't matter the bundle (also I was working with my custom bundle).
Will be nice if you can upload a unity package and an Eclipse project working together to know how it works, because it's a headache to get this working from the scratch receiving those errors
Hi, how about an asset store package?
Oh, sorry, now I understand your problem. You didn't explain when those errors appear in the first place.
Yes, I will provide a usage tutorial project during the next week. (in my spare time)
For you it's also a little bit of a headache because of the lack of knowledge in working with Eclipse.
Meanwhile, have you reset the classpath to the Unity library called "classes.jar" correctly? As I specified in one of the posts above, that library is found in the Unity installation folder in Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/bin/classes.jar. You must add this path in the java build path of the Eclipse Installer project like this:
1) Right click project in Eclipse and select "Build Path -> Add External Archives"
2) Go to UnityInstallationFolder/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/bin/classes.jar and select it.
Now you should have the Unity java library in your project build path. I will add this library directly in the project next time so these steps won't be necessary in the future. Try exporting the installer jar now.
Hope this helps.
Mmmm...I don't think it's suited for the asset store. I want it to be open-source so anyone can easily contribute with something to it.
The best place would be Google code.
1) Prepare a demo project, simplify the setup process a bit and update and better organize the documentation in a nice doc file not in separate readme.txt files .
2) Automate the setup process to avoid some beginner hassle.
3) Upload the entire package on Google code so it can be easier for anyone to contribute to it (making it better in the future, more flexible, with more options maybe...don't know yet ).
I uploaded the package here right now because everyone seemed to be in a hurry to try it out. I hope to finish the above steps in the next 2 weeks cause I'll be working in my spare time.
Thanks for your support so far guys!
You can certainly put an open source project in the asset store, and putting something in asset store doesn't have to be an exclusive deal, you can put it on google code at the same time. Its just convenience for the Unity users to have a central place to download something that's already packaged for use in Unity. However its just a suggestion.
floky I think I love you! lol I was just dealing with this Android size limitation issue and was NOT looking forward to restructuring our iOS game for asset bundles. I cannot wait to dig into this tonight when I get home!
You're right! As soon as I automate the setup process a bit more(for better beginner usage) I will make a unity package and upload it on the asset store too.
I never uploaded to the asset store before. The thing is that it's a solution consisting out of 2 parts: an eclipse android project(which isn't directly unity related and mustn't be located in the unity assets folder) and the unity required postprocess build tool (which must be setup directly in a unity project).
So the 2nd part can be easilly packed in a unity package for the asset store, but what about the first part mentioned? How can I fit it on the asset store? Any helpfull links related to this subject would be appreciated.
@floky, any hope to get this package for beginners soon?
OK, floky, I got it all set up, everything's compiling like the readme's say it should, the files end up in my unity project plugin folders like the readme says it should... no warning signs at all up until it tells you to make the normal unity android build. When I make the normal Android build, nothing happens. No build tool window opens up or anything else happens.
Here is a snapshot of the project after all of the setup and build steps are followed from the readme's.
Can you see anything wrong with this, or possibly have an idea as to why the builder window isn't launching? What kicks it off and causes the plugin to run to begin with?
Thanks in advance.
Ah! Yes. GREAT feedback Syllus! I see the problem.
The file "PostprocessBuildPlayer_AndroidBuilder" is a perl script that must be executed by Unity. As the Unity documentation specifies
(http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Manual/Build Player Pipeline.html) the script must be named "PostprocessBuildPlayer". )
I named it "PostprocessBuildPlayer_AndroidBuilder" to avoid situations where someone might overwrite his own postprocess script.
But there are situations where one might need multiple postprocess build scripts to be executed. There is a solution thanks to a man called Rob Terrell. He made a simple post process script that will auto-execute all other postprocess build scripts in the current folder as long as they are named like this: PostprocessBuildPlayer_XXX". His little script will be the main "PostprocessBuildPlayer" that Unity will execute.
So, just copy this script in the same folder with the "PostprocessBuildPlayer_AndroidBuilder" script.
View attachment $PostprocessBuildPlayer.zip
Thanks again for this great observation. I will add this script in the next package update.
Syllus, by the way. I just noticed in your above screen shot that you have a JAR file in "Plugins/Android/AndroidBuilder.jar" and that it has the same name as the AndroidBuilder.jar tool setup in "Editor/AndroidBuilder/" folder. I hope that isn't the same file you've copied there.
"Plugins/Android/AndroidBuilder.jar" should be name to something different to avoid confusion because this jar should be the installer activity plugin for your android project. This jar file should be obtained from exporting the "src" folder of the EclipseInstallerTemplateProject as specified in the readme.txt.
But in case you've already done this and it's just a naming similarity, it's ok. Just wanted to mention this for other users out there.
i am a new Androider , our game 70M,now need you tool help us ,wait day by day!!
hope the final update
now i use the tool error here:
step 7 : signApkWithDebugKey()
jarsigner error keystore was tampered with ,or password was incorrect.
i create a new keystore in unity called debug.keystore( witch you code in ) , and copy this to .android folder , and run the PostprocessBuildPlayer_AndroidBuilder manually , i still get the error here , so hope you help.
I fix this , i copy the windows :C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.android to Mac .android folder.( i don't kown why Mac don't have this file).
and now pack ok , i will try this installer is work ok , later reply.
wwwgy1982, you must NOT setup a new keystore inside Unity and overwrite the debug.keystore file from ".android". That's what's causing your problem. The default debug.keystore from ".android" is the debug keystore with which the Android Builder tool will sign the new generated APK files. If you overwritten the "debug.keystore" provided by the Android SDK please re-build it with this info:
Keystore name: "debug.keystore"
Keystore password: "android"
Key alias: "androiddebugkey"
Key password: "android"
CN: "CN=Android Debug,O=Android,C=US"
So the tool will be able to sign the APKs with this development keystore.
See "http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html#setup" for details about generating a keystore from the command line.
The Mac Android SDK has this file but because you've setup different keystore in Unity project settings it was modified.
Thank you i will study this later , now i installer is work download from my gameServer do download gameData.
buy when finished download , the app will crash , and start Again still crash.
can you help ?
Please provide the crash log from the point where the app crashes.
The crash can be caused by various reasons. I can't help without some detailed feedback.
how can i find the crash log in device , sorry for ask this , i am new.
Look here:
Read about: Enabling logcat Logging.

com.walnut.strive is our game name ,and androidManifest.xml is the same name for Package name.
I find this error log! can you tell me what's error?
I think I know why you're getting this error. But just to be sure, please upload here or send me a PM with the AndroidManifest.xml from your Unity project to investigate it.

this xml is in the /Temp/StagingArea folder , this is you want?
Yes, that's the xml. After taking a quick look over it i noticed a mistake here:
"com.userCustom.installer.InstallerAc tivity" . You have a space char in the "InstallerActivity" part of the name and the log you sent me tells you that it can't find these activities.
Also check the name:"com.floky.unityLauncher.UnityLaunche rActivity" cause it also has a space char in the name.
I am sorry, I made a mistake :
com.floky.unityLauncher.UnityLauncherActivity (there is no space char)
The fact is :com.mobilitygames.unityLauncher.UnityLauncherActivity(in my project)
and all are worked , installer download from the game server and the game runs well.
Thanks for you help "floky"!!!!!! Love You Tool.
there is another question :
The game will show Black Screen when it plays the movie by Iphone.iPhoneUtils.PlayMovie.
Do you have any idear to solve the problem?
Needing your help! Thank you very much!

It seems to be an error from the Unity Video player activity. I don't think it's caused by the Android Builder tool.
It may be because the video you are trying to play is not a suitable format and it can't play it correctly.
Have you tried playing the video in a separate small test project without using the Android Builder tool?
@floky when do you expect to release the unity package of your tool or something to get it working easily?
Since I am working in my spare time on this project, I can't promise anything. Hopefully this weekend...give or take a few days.
Thanks again for working on this Floky! We're looking forward to using this as well. I sure hope the Unity guys see this thread and think about the usability of your system vs theirs and possibly integrate some changes in the future! This project will be a must have for any Android project > 30MB.
