text: URMC / Labs / Choe Lab in vivo Cancer Detection Light focused on a clear plastic container filled with water travels straight. Diffuse optical methods based on near-infrared light illumination have a great potential for detection and therapy monitoring of disease by providing information on several unique deep tissue functional/metabolic parameters. With diffuse optical spectroscopy and tomography (DOS & DOT), oxygenated hemoglobin, deoxygenated hemoglobin, water and lipid concentrations, and tissue scattering properties can be reconstructed. With diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), blood flow information is accessible optically. DOT, DOS and DCS are non-invasive methods that are based on surface measurements. On the other hand with minimal invasion, tissue micro-environment (e.g. vascular leakiness) or selective uptake of molecular targeted agent in the diseased tissue can be probed by measuring fluorescence signal of exogenous optical contrast agents. In addition to these unique functional parameters, diffuse optics utilize non-ionizing radiation (thus enabling frequent measurement), and low cost instrumentation. These features make diffuse optics suitable for providing complementary information to traditional clinical imaging modalities (e.g. X-ray, Ultrasound, MRI, PET/SPECT), and for monitoring progression or therapeutic response of a disease. Near-infrared light focused on a turbid medium with similar optical properties to tissue goes through multiple scattering events. Diffuse optical techniques quantify optical properties based on photon diffusion equation for modeling photon propagation in tissue-like turbid medium. From the optical properties, one can extract physiological/metabolic information such as total hemoglobin concentration, blood oxygen saturation, and blood flow. In our laboratory, we assess and improve the capabilities of diffuse optics in breast cancer detection, diagnosis and therapy monitoring. In clinical measurements of human breasts with tumor, we focus on identifying functional parameters which can serve as early indicators of therapy efficacy. Using a preclinical animal model, we study the metabolic mechanism of varied responses to therapy seen in the clinic, and investigate new therapeutic drugs and interventions. Also, we explore new functional and metabolic parameters (e.g. glucose metabolism) accessible through near-infrared fluorescent optical agents. In the near future, we plan to expand our research to different cancers (e.g. head & neck tumor, lymphoma) and to different organs (e.g. brain).

Ethnic passing across the Jewish literary diaspora
MetadataShow full item record
In my dissertation, I examine the works of six writers (George S. Kaufman, Moss Hart, Clarice and Elisa Lispector, Evgenia Ginzburg and Vasilii Aksyonov) who did not explore their Jewish identity in their texts and were subsequently left out of the canons of Jewish literature in their respective countries. My goal is to recalibrate the concept of the Jewish canon from the charged notion of identity to a theory of shared thematic material in which the works of hyphenated Jewish writers will be considered under the category of 'Jewish American, Brazilian, or Russian' if they share definite attributes. This was a transnational study showing that similar forces were at work not only in one country, but across continents, affecting the sensibilities of Jewish writers in remarkably similar ways. On a larger scale their de-thematized narratives share thematic tropes and belong to a 'minor, liminal, marginal narrative,' a narrative which attempted to work within the scope of the master narratives produced by the hegemonic culture. I have claimed that even though these six writers did not thematize identity in their texts, because of the negative political and social situation for the Jew in the first half of the twentieth century in western civilization, this situation and the writers' own alterity produced similar and overlapping narratives.

The acoustic guitar playing of Rod Poole is among the most mesmerizing to enter human heads over the past two decades. Although he started picking in 1972 in a traditional rock / blues vein, by the time the pastel and florescent colors of the '80s began to burn their brightest in the mainstream, Rod dove headfirst into the dimly-lit underground free-improvisation scene, largely inspired by the icon of the genre, Derek Bailey. As the next decade revved up, Rod befriended microtonal composer Kraig Grady and added several frets to his Martin acoustic guitar to employ an obscure pure tuning system known as Just Intonation, which can support many more notes per octave than the standard 12-tone scale common to Western music.
In the mid '90s, Rod released two CDs in this style called The Death Adder and December 96, both of which were solo affairs chock-full of austere, crystalline beauty. He then formed the Rod Poole Trio (known in a live setting as Voice of the Bowed Guitar) with Joseph Hammer and Douglas Williford, who released Iasis; and another group with Nels Cline and Jim McAuley at the dawn of the new millennium called the Acoustic Guitar Trio, who released a self-titled CD. Both units simply produced some of the most hypnotic acoustic drone music to be found anywhere.
I was lucky enough to get splashed by water from Rod's pool on two occasions at the Smell. The first time was in 1998 at the venue's original location on Lankershim in North Hollywood. As a small crowd gathered in the narrow, confined space, Rod sat solid at the infinite center and fingerpicked his heart out, flanked by Joseph and Douglas with bows in hand, who sawed the evening into a stunning, droning standstill.
Sometime around 2002, after the Smell moved to downtown Los Angeles, I caught Rod again in a solo setting as he deftly released his swirling arpeggios and otherworldly overtones into the ever-expanding ether. The fact that only a small crowd was present to witness such rare musical beauty mirrored the current puzzling state of humanity. The ultimate proof of this fact arrived on May 13, 2007, when, during a slight traffic mishap at Mel's Drive-In in Los Angeles, Rod was murdered by a violent psychopath. His body may be gone, but Rod Poole's adventurous spirit will live on through his truly transporting music.
Timeframe: Post-Altamont.
Public Impact: Although Rod Poole is not a household name, his playing has cut its own unique path through the tiny, bramble-filled realm of microtonal guitar music. And his influence out there in the thickets is only likely to grow as time marches forward.

Zombie is neither a race nor a class but rather a modifier of the "state" the creature is in. While most Zombies are human but come without a race identifier, Zombies have come in various races such as Ogre, Elf, Lizard, Beast and so on. Zombies have been used as the primary tribe for black in Onslaught Block.
Zombies due to their flavor of being reanimated corpses often have a theme related to death in their mechanics, often with abilities that trigger when the card leaves play or is put into a graveyard. Regeneration is also often a trait.
Zombie is also the primary creature type for black creature tokens. These tokens are usually 2/2.
Zombies are often treated as blacks' primary race and therefore are usually given Lords.
- Death Baron
- Gravespawn Sovereign
- Lich Lord of Unx
- Lord of the Undead
- Soulless One
- Undead Warchief
- Zombie Master
- Cemetery Reaper
- Diregraf Captain

- Fatestitcher
- Metathran Zombie
- Reef Pirates
- Scornful Aether-Lich
- Havengul Skaab
- Tattered Drake

- Svogthos, the Restless Tomb - A land that can turn into a Plant Zombie creature
- Unholy Grotto - Onslaught's Zombie Tribal Land. Can put Zombies from the Graveyard on top of the Library. Often compared to Volrath's Stronghold.
- Grimoire of the Dead - An artifact that has the ability to bring all creature cards from all graveyards to your side of the field. in addition to that it also makes them become black zombies in addition to their other creature types and colors.

Single momma
I am so tried of being single. I focus on ym kids 24/7 I work & try to hang out with friends but I can't get rid of this nagging feeling that I am still alone. i have no guy to spend time with, no commitment or ring on my finger. Everyone I know seems to getting into serious relationship or getting married & making happy families. & while i am happy for them I keep asking when it it my turn. I have tried that stop looking & wait for them to come along.
I need words of advice.
No words of advice from me except to hang in there. I, too, am lonely and have no bf. I was married to my ex for 26 yrs when he told me of his three yr affair and two kids he created. So many of my friends and family have told me the best of my life is still ahead. I see them with families and happy marriages. Sometimes I get lonely. Then I snap out of it when I start to think about the misery I was in 24/7 when I was married. My ex is a loser in every which way to think of a man to be. He's a miserable louse for a father. I really should thank the heavens above for finally getting him out of my life. I would still be miserable and working (by myself actually) for happiness in my deadend marriage. You are young. Enjoy life and get out there and enjoy your life. There is someone out there waiting for you!
When its meant for someone to be in your life, than it will happen.
Until than enjoy what you are doing for your children, they will hopefully grow up to thank you and may even do the same for you.

There Is a New Record for Most Bollywood Lyrics Ever Written, and Other NewsBy Sadie Stein
- Lyricist Sameer Anjaan has entered The Guinness Book of World Records—they had to make a new category—for writing the greatest number of Bollywood songs, ever. By the numbers: 3,524 songs, 650 films, 33 years. Writes his biographer, "Sameer was a hit both with the fans and the singers because he wrote songs that did not require dictionary to understand. He wrote in the language of the common people." Listen to his top twenty-five songs here.

"Polish nuns do the majority of cooking at the Vatican, but the Swiss Guard chefs do step in to make food on formal occasions or to fulfill a special request. Though a guard cooking is a rarity, these men know more about the Pope's eating habits than anyone else, since they are no more than a few steps from him at all times."

Lower Burrell woman who helped police officer's killer hide gets probation
A Lower Burrell woman was sentenced Monday to two years' probation for helping fugitive Charlie Post elude capture in the days before he killed Lower Burrell Patrolman Derek Kotecki in 2011.
Westmoreland County President Judge Richard E. McCormick Jr. handed down the sentence to Amanda Christyn Walters, 25, of Cleveland Drive.
"You appear to me to have reflected on all of what has happened," McCormick said to Walters. "Letters from family and friends said you have a good heart and an inclination to help people, particularly the elderly members of your family. Hopefully, you will not make such a bad judgment ever again.
"Try to make some success for yourself."
McCormick instructed Walters to enroll in a high school diploma equivalency program and not to have contact with the Kotecki family.
Assistant District Attorney Leo J. Ciaramitaro had asked McCormick for a six-month jail sentence for Walters.
"The Commonwealth is not blaming her for the actual death. However, her actions contributed to Post being able to hide," he said.
"If Miss Walters would have used a cell phone and called police, obviously Officer Kotecki may still be alive today."
From the bench, McCormick said Amanda Walters' probation is in the standard range of sentencing.
The six-month jail sentence that Ciaramitaro had sought is within the range of sentencing involving aggravating circumstances that could apply at the judge's discretion because of Kotecki's death.
Kotecki's father, Richard, of Lower Burrell and Lower Burrell police Chief Tim Weitzel attended the sentencing.
"Lower Burrell police and the Kotecki family are extremely disappointed with Judge McCormick's sentences for both Nicole and Amanda Walters," Weitzel said.
Amanda Walters apologizes
When addressing the court Monday, a crying Walters apologized to Kotecki's family and Lower Burrell police.
In a soft and at times wavering voice, Walters said she was "very sorry" and "remorseful."
Walters said she and her aunt, Nicole Walters, wouldn't have been involved if they knew helping Post would end in Kotecki's death.
Last week, McCormick sentenced Nicole M. Walters, 39, of Lower Burrell, to two years of probation with six months of house arrest.
Prior to Walters' sentencing, defense attorney Ryan Matthew Tutera told the court that her father died when she was a year old and she later was abused until she went to live with her grandparents.Records show she attended school as far as 11th grade.
As is standard procedure, Walters was ordered to submit to random drug-and-alcohol testing during probation and pay court costs. She must pay for mental health and drug and alcohol evaluations and counseling, if the evaluation shows the need.
The Kotecki killing
On Oct. 2, 2011, Charlie Post, 33, fired a number of gunshots at a man in the Clarion Hotel parking lot in New Kensington.
Prosecutors said he was on the run when his brother, Chad, helped him to escape. Later he got help to hide.
Ten days later, prosecutors said, James A. "Lutzo" Ameris III tipped police that he would be driving Charlie Post to the Lower Burrell Dairy Queen in a white Jeep at about 7 p.m. Ameris went into the restaurant while Post stayed in the Jeep.
As Kotecki, armed with a rifle, approached the Jeep, Post fired a .40-caliber pistol repeatedly through a closed back window, county detectives said.
Kotecki was hit twice and died.
Post then got out of the SUV and ran to the rear of the parking lot. Trapped by a chain-link fence, he squatted near a Dumpster, turned his pistol to his head and fired one shot, Westmoreland County Coroner Kenneth A. Bacha said in a report.
Bacha said that autopsy indicated that Post "didn't die instantaneously."
Police car-dashboard camera footage shows that within the next 30 seconds or so after Post shot himself, Post was still alive and clutching the pistol and ignoring orders to put the gun down when a New Kensington police officer shot him twice.

The Smith and Wesson model 627 is one of the company's most popular target revolvers. It's chambered for .357 magnum and .38 Special or .38 Special +P. It has an eight-round cylinder rather than the usual six. It's easily recognized by its tapered barrel shroud.
The sights on the 627 are target style, with the rear sight having micrometer click adjustments. The front sight blade is interchangeable, allowing you to fit the gun with just the right sight blade for your style.
The revolver has Hogue rubber grips with finger grooves, giving you a comfortable hold on the gun, and a consistent grip with your fingers in the grooves. The trigger is a smooth chrome finished target style, and is .312" wide for a firm, consistent finger placement. The hammer is different from most Smith and Wesson hammers, with the rear portion being half an inch wide for easy cocking.
The model 627 is all stainless with a satin finish.
The 627 has a rich history. For more about the revolver's history, click here.

A Brief History of the Model 627
In 1935, Smith and Wesson introduced the first revolver chambered for the new .357 Smith and Wesson Magnum. Initially it was called "the .357 magnum Registered Magnum", a name that was used for years before it received the model 27 designation. The Registered Magnum was considered to be almost a collector item. Each came with a certificate of authenticity, with the serial number on the certificate.
Despite the fact that 1935 was right in the middle of the Great Depression, and despite the Registered Magnum's relatively high price, the gun was an immediate hit. It was so successful that Smith and Wesson found themselves with a four-year waiting list for the gun.
In 1939, Smith and Wesson changed the name from "Registered Magnum" to ".357 Magnum". The gun was popular with police departments, not to mention the FBI. None other than General George Patton carried a model 27, shown in the photo on the right, with his favorite ivory grips engraved with his initials.
The model 27 spawned a number of variants from Smith and Wesson, most notably the models 19, 66, and 686. It was in the late 1990's that the company introduced the eight shot stainless steel variation, the model 627.

text: First Midwest Bancorp's capital ratios declined as a result of the credit actions, but remained strong relative to regulatory requirements. The regulatory ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets declined to 11.65% as of Sept. 30 from 13.68% the previous quarter, but was well above the 10% required for most banks to be considered well-capitalized. The company's ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 8.26% as of Sept. 30, declining from 8.83% the previous quarter. First Midwest CEO Michael Scudder said during the company's earnings conference call that "the remaining pool of non-performing and potential performing problem assets are better situated to improve or, as necessary, be liquidated," which "positions us for significantly lower future credit costs and we expect the resulting capital pressure to be relatively short-lived when these benefits are added to our current business momentum." The company's total portfolio loans declined by 2% during the third quarter, to $5.4 billion, as a result of the loan transfer. Commercial and industrial loan balances grew 1% sequentially and 9% year-over-year, to $1.6 billion as of Sept. 30. Third-quarter net interest income totaled $70.6 million, increasing from $70 million in the second quarter, but declining from $73.9 million a year earlier, as yields on interest-earning assets declined, following the industry trend. The company's third-quarter net interest margin -- the difference between the average yield on loans and investments and the average cost for deposits and borrowings -- was 3.83%, narrowing from 3.88% the previous quarter, and 3.97% a year earlier. First Midwest CFO Paul Clemens said during the conference call that "even with $250 million of average earning asset growth over the past two quarters, we continue to maintain over $400 million in short-term overnight instruments." This liquidity, along with our significant decline in non-accrual loans should enable us to further mitigate market pressures" on asset yields. Clemens also provided some forward guidance on the margin, saying "we think the margin is going to hover around where it is right now," and "maybe actually improve a little bit because we're going to be redeploying first of all about $70 million worth of non-performing, non-accruing loans."

Antonio Margarito's Retirement & Reflecting on his Status Antonio Margarito retired this week and it seemed like the general tone of the public was "good riddance." It's difficult to remember a more reputation-damaging event than when Antonio Margarito got busted loading wraps for his fight with Shane Mosley. Ironically, Mosley retired the same week that Margarito hung 'em up. The almost simultaneous retirements provide an interesting parallel and contrast. Margarito's retirement was met with feeling of vitriol, while Mosley seemed to get a good-natured sendoff. Mosley was caught up tin he whole Balco deal. He took roids unbeknownst to him, as he claims. Margarito claims the same thing. Is there a distinction? I guess it's an easier task to sneakily rub roid cream on a guy than load plaster onto his wraps without him knowing, but isn't that splitting hairs? Credit: Chris Farina - Top Rank And from what I know, Mosley actually was on the juice in the second De La Hoya fight....

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 22, 2012
In order to build the next generation of nuclear reactors, materials scientists are trying to unlock the secrets of certain materials that are radiation-damage tolerant. Now researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have brought new understanding to one of those secrets-how the interfaces between two carefully selected metals can absorb, or heal, radiation damage.
"When it comes to selecting proper structural materials for advanced nuclear reactors, it is crucial that we understand radiation damage and its effects on materials properties. And we need to study these effects on isolated small-scale features," says Julia R. Greer, an assistant professor of materials science and mechanics at Caltech.
With that in mind, Greer and colleagues from Caltech, Sandia National Laboratories, UC Berkeley, and Los Alamos National Laboratory have taken a closer look at radiation-induced damage, zooming in all the way to the nanoscale-where lengths are measured in billionths of meters. Their results appear online in the journals Advanced Functional Materials and Small.
During nuclear irradiation, energetic particles like neutrons and ions displace atoms from their regular lattice sites within the metals that make up a reactor, setting off cascades of collisions that ultimately damage materials such as steel. One of the byproducts of this process is the formation of helium bubbles.
Since helium does not dissolve within solid materials, it forms pressurized gas bubbles that can coalesce, making the material porous, brittle, and therefore susceptible to breakage.
Some nano-engineered materials are able to resist such damage and may, for example, prevent helium bubbles from coalescing into larger voids. For instance, some metallic nanolaminates-materials made up of extremely thin alternating layers of different metals-are able to absorb various types of radiation-induced defects at the interfaces between the layers because of the mismatch that exists between their crystal structures.
"People have an idea, from computations, of what the interfaces as a whole may be doing, and they know from experiments what their combined global effect is. What they don't know is what exactly one individual interface is doing and what specific role the nanoscale dimensions play," says Greer. "And that's what we were able to investigate."
Peri Landau and Guo Qiang, both postdoctoral scholars in Greer's lab at the time of this study, used a chemical procedure called electroplating to either grow miniature pillars of pure copper or pillars containing exactly one interface-in which an iron crystal sits atop a copper crystal.
Then, working with partners at Sandia and Los Alamos, in order to replicate the effect of helium irradiation, they implanted those nanopillars with helium ions, both directly at the interface and, in separate experiments, throughout the pillar.
The researchers then used a one-of-a-kind nanomechanical testing instrument, called the SEMentor, which is located in the subbasement of the W. M. Keck Engineering Laboratories building at Caltech, to both compress the tiny pillars and pull on them as a way to learn about the mechanical properties of the pillars-how their length changed when a certain stress was applied, and where they broke, for example.
"These experiments are very, very delicate," Landau says. "If you think about it, each one of the pillars-which are only 100 nanometers wide and about 700 nanometers long-is a thousand times thinner than a single strand of hair. We can only see them with high-resolution microscopes."
The team found that once they inserted a small amount of helium into a pillar at the interface between the iron and copper crystals, the pillar's strength increased by more than 60 percent compared to a pillar without helium.
That much was expected, Landau explains, because "irradiation hardening is a well-known phenomenon in bulk materials." However, she notes, such hardening is typically linked with embrittlement, "and we do not want materials to be brittle."
Surprisingly, the researchers found that in their nanopillars, the increase in strength did not come along with embrittlement, either when the helium was implanted at the interface, or when it was distributed more broadly. Indeed, Greer and her team found, the material was able to maintain its ductility because the interface itself was able to deform gradually under stress.
This means that in a metallic nanolaminate material, small helium bubbles are able to migrate to an interface, which is never more than a few tens of nanometers away, essentially healing the material.
"What we're showing is that it doesn't matter if the bubble is within the interface or uniformly distributed-the pillars don't ever fail in a catastrophic, abrupt fashion," Greer says.
She notes that the implanted helium bubbles-which are described in the Advanced Functional Materials paper-were one to two nanometers in diameter; in future studies, the group will repeat the experiment with larger bubbles at higher temperatures in order to represent additional conditions related to radiation damage.
In the Small paper, the researchers showed that even nanopillars made entirely of copper, with no layering of metals, exhibited irradiation-induced hardening.
That stands in stark contrast to the results from previous work by other researchers on proton-irradiated copper nanopillars, which exhibited the same strengths as those that had not been irradiated. Greer says that this points to the need to evaluate different types of irradiation-induced defects at the nanoscale, because they may not all have the same effects on materials.
While no one is likely to be building nuclear reactors out of nanopillars anytime soon, Greer argues that it is important to understand how individual interfaces and nanostructures behave. "This work is basically teaching us what gives materials the ability to heal radiation damage-what tolerances they have and how to design them," she says.
That information can be incorporated into future models of material behavior that can help with the design of new materials.
Along with Greer, Landau, and Qiang, Khalid Hattar of Sandia National Laboratories is also a coauthor on the paper "The Effect of He Implantation on the Tensile Properties and Microstructure of Cu/Fe Nano-bicrystals," which appears online in Advanced Functional Materials.
Peter Hosemann of UC Berkeley and Yongqiang Wang of Los Alamos National Laboratory are coauthors on the paper "Helium Implantation Effects on the Compressive Response of Cu Nanopillars," which appears online in the journal Small. The work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and carried out, in part, in the Kavli Nanoscience Institute at Caltech.

BRADENTON - Manatee County deputies are investigating an attempted sexual battery.
It happened around midnight on 57th Avenue Terrace East in Bradenton.
Deputies say the victim was walking home when the suspect approached her. He put his hand over her mouth, held a knife to her throat and told her over and over, "Don't scream or I'll kill you!" He then forced her behind a house.
The victim told investigators he put his hand down her pants, and then stopped. She then says they both walked away.
Authorities are looking for 39-year-old Mike Hope, who is a person of interest in the case.

Sunday, July 27, 2014 | 2 a.m.
David Flowers receives a message on Facebook from a friend challenging him to a game of darts. They agree to play in an hour.
When Flowers arrives at his soft-tip darts home, the Crowbar, 1113 S. Rainbow Blvd., he gets back on social media with his smartphone and messages he's ready to begin.
It's 2 a.m. in Las Vegas and Crowbar is virtually empty, especially near the row of five electronic dartboards where Flowers stands alone. His challenger isn't a member of his local leagues, the Southern Nevada Darts Association or Las Vegas Darts.
Rather, the challenger is in Japan. Electronic dartboards keep score for the competitors in different locales, then log the information online with the DARTSLIVE app to calculate player ratings. Flowers has the app on his smartphone.
"It's global. You can play anyone in the world," he said. "I've played against people I have never met (in person)."
Where to play
• Crowbar, 1113 S. Rainbow Blvd.
• Aqua Lounge, 6000 Spring Mountain Road
For steel-tip:
• CD's Sports Lounge, 3025 E. Desert Inn Road
• Rum Runner, 1801 E. Tropicana Ave.
• Little Crown & Anchor, 4755 Spring Mountain Road
It's $10 for a 14-week season with Las Vegas Darts, the area's soft-tip organization. Competitors spend about $4 in game fees each week. Contact Las Vegas Darts through its page on Facebook. The Southern Nevada Darts Association charges a $20 annual membership fee, which covers the league's affiliation with the American Darters Association. Contact the association at sndadarts.com. Most players join both groups. The groups frequently work together on socials and tournaments.
How to throw like a pro
Tips from Stacy Bromberg, multitime world champion:
1. Similar to excelling in other sports, winning at darts starts with focus and concentration. You have to be zeroed in on the target before throwing.
2. Don't bend your knees or bounce; lock your leg — if you throw right-handed; lock your right leg
3. Follow through on your shot.
The standard height from the floor to the bull's-eye is 5 feet, 8 inches. Throwing distance from the front of the board to the toeline is 7 to 9.25 feet for steel-tip and 8 feet for soft-tip.
Did you know?
In major darts tournaments, air conditioning is turned off so it doesn't interfere with participants' throws.
Not needing your opponent at your side isn't the only way technology has transformed darts, the throwing game played mostly in bars or basements.
The interactive electronic dartboard keeps score and instructs competitors how many points they need on a specific throw and where to aim to collect those points. Each opponent starts with 501 points and works to lower that number to zero with three throws per turn.
In steel-tip darts, competitors have to calculate the score themselves. It's part of the game's challenge. A bad calculation, regardless if you hit your point, can lead to a loss. A dry-erase board is next to the dartboard for keeping the running tally.
The technique and scoring are the same in both steel- and soft-tip darts. But in steel-tip darts, a dart can 'bounce-out,' meaning the throw doesn't stick to the board and no points are awarded. That's not a problem with soft-tip. As long as the dart hits the board, even if it doesn't stick, points are credited.
And there's no online interactivity for steel-tip darts.
"Because of the electronics age with iPads and social media, this brings a younger generation into (darts)," said Pat Carrigan, president of the Southern Nevada Darts Association, the area's steel-tip group.
Soft-tip games cost fifty cents or $1 at Crowbar, depending on whether it is a league match. For steel-tip games, which also are offered at Crowbar and other establishments across town, play is typically free. Players can leave their ID to borrow darts from the bar or bring their own.
"This game is for everybody," said Stacy Bromberg, who heads Las Vegas Darts and is a multiple-time Women's World Darts champion. "You don't have to be physically fit to play. You don't have to spend days practicing. You can just show up, make new friends and have a good night."
Bromberg, 58, makes a decent living off the game and even has her own line of darts. She has traveled around the globe competing in and winning events. She's won so many prizes, she's lost count of her accomplishments and medals. Most victories included a cash prize. Later this summer, one of her sponsors is sending her to Japan so she can participate in an exhibition.
She understands both sides of the sport — the competitive and the camaraderie.
But on Wednesdays during one of Las Vegas Darts' league play nights, she's in her element helping beginners and recreational players.
Whether it's working with Flowers, who is in his 20s and is considered the area's best player, or a retiree still learning the ins and outs of darts, Bromberg's passion is obvious. Her energy level is unmatched.
"She's the real deal. Nobody is better. Nobody is more knowledgeable," Flowers said.
The scene on league play nights tells the story: Most players have a beer and eat chicken wings between throws. They talk about their day, families get to know each other, and frequently, players are so occupied socializing they don't realize when it's their turn.
"This is all social," said Richard Rehm, 66.
Carrigan met his wife, Rose, during a league night almost 20 years ago. They both continue to play.
When Bromberg was diagnosed with cancer, she turned to her dart friends for support. She's beaten cancer multiple times, using darts for a sense of normalcy and fellowship.
That's why she has no hesitation using darts to give back to others. For each set of three darts sold from her signature collection, $10 is donated to her "Score For Charity" program. A set of three darts typically costs $55. Since 1996, she says the program has donated more than $100,000 to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
"I just love (darts). This is an incredible group of people," she said.

It may be full size smaller than larger projectors like the Sonys, JVCs and larger BenQ and InFocus models, but it's fairly large compared to the very smallest, like the Optoma HD20. All considered, it's a larger, small projector. It is finished in a shiny off-white casing with matching white side panels and silver lens trim.
Like the other Epsons, it's hardly gorgeous, more boxy, but has some curves and some contrast. Not bad looking.
The local dealer only version of the 8700UB – the Pro Cinema 9700UB, comes finished in black, instead of white.
The lens is mounted to the right side (if looking at the front of the projector), with a large vent on the left side. The lens protrudes out about 2 inches from the case. (When figuring out placement distances, one normally measures from the front of the lens.) There's an infra-red sensor in the front for the remote (and another in the top back). Below the front, are two screw thread adjustable feet. The control panel is located on the side with flush buttons (I much prefer control panels to be located on the top, where they are almost always accessable, if needed). Still, that's not a real issue.
To focus the lens, and adjust the zoom, simply rotate the appropriate rings on the lens. To control the lens shift, there are two dials on the top of the projector near the lens. It's that easy.

While I'm not a fan of side control panels (Epson, Sony), because I tend to use control panels a lot while testing, for most folks it really won't matter much, since they will rely on the remote control.
One thing though, I refer to it as being on the side, but I should point out that the power button and source switch are located on the top of the projector. The control panel functions are rather typical.
Closest to the front of the buttons is a large Menu button. To its right, the four arrow keys on a rocker (diamond configuration, with a center Enter button), I'm not a fan of the rocker type four way around the enter button, but, its functional. Finally closest to the back, is the Escape key which takes you back up a level in the menus.
It's that simple, should you misplace your remote!

No surprises here, everything is the same as on last year's Epson projectors, in precisely the same places.
The Home Cinema 8700UB has a fairly typical selection of inputs and outputs. There are (from the left) two HDMI (1.3b) inputs, a component video input (3 color colded RCA jacks), the basic S-Video and composite video inputs, and an analog computer input (standard HD15 connector), which can double as a second component video input. At the top, above the PC input, is the rear infra-red sensor for the remote (partially cut off).
There is an RS-232 serial port for controlling the projector from a computer or room control sytem. Additionally, this Epson projector has one 12 volt screen trigger.

Insurance not a factor in determining dental treatment
Dear Editor:
As a dental hygienist in Ahwatukee, I enjoy meeting and providing quality dental hygiene services to all my patients. I work with two meticulous, conscientious, conservative-minded dentists. The letter to the editor on Oct. 28 ("Frustrated with dentists," AFN) from Faye Verska, raised a few points I wish to respond to: X-rays requirements, types of dental cleanings and insurance.
Dental X-rays are a diagnostic tool used to determine overall oral health. The American Dental Association (ADA) and Food and Drug Association (FDA) guidelines state the following for an adult patient: a new patient should have "individualized radiographic exam consisting of posterior bitewings with panoramic exam or posterior bitewings with selected periapical images. A full mouth intraoral radiographic exam is preferred when a patient has clinical evidence of generalized dental disease or a history of extensive dental treatment." A recare patient should have "posterior bitewing exam at 24-36 month intervals."
These guidelines would explain the 18 to 20 X-rays Verska experienced as a new patient, and her recare X-rays as an existing patient for seven years. Unfortunately, in order to capture each tooth within the images, multiple views are required. Often new dentists will accept a copy of the X-rays from a previous dentist to avoid repeating the X-rays. The amount of radiation from a single X-ray is minimal. Each X-ray is .5 millirem (mrem); therefore, 18 X-rays would equal 9mrem. This is the same amount of radiation a person would absorb from flying cross country, three times, one-way. X-rays should not be taken without reason; however, without X-rays, a dentist cannot see between the teeth, examine the bone or view the roots of the teeth.
The ADA recommends a professional cleaning and exam twice a year. During the exam, gum measurements are taken to determine the space between the gum and the tooth. If the measurement is deeper than normal, it indicates gum disease may be present. The X-rays aid to identify the destruction of bone, and the gum measurements determine the extent of the disease. Periodontal scaling and root planning is often called "deep cleaning" and is done when a patient shows signs of gum disease. "Deep cleaning" procedures are generally done in quadrants or half the mouth per visit. This treatment involves cleaning the bacteria and calculus below the gumline. Unfortunately, there are many factors that cause gum disease, including oral hygiene, genetics, and/or age. Therefore, a person may not show signs of the disease until later in life.
Dental insurance is a benefit some people are fortunate to possess. However, insurance is not a factor in determining options for dental treatment. As a dental professional, my responsibility is to inform our patient of all treatment options regardless of insurance coverage. In these economic times, we all have budget priorities; but, I worry about those who elect to wait on treatment that directly impacts their oral and overall health. My goal is to provide total patient care, not to treat patients based on their dental insurance, but to allow each patient to benefit from the insurance they have. I hope this provides readers with some information regarding those often asked questions Verska brought to attention in her letter of frustration.

Family values?
Dear Editor:
Liberals loathe the shibboleth – family values – which to them is code word for conservatism and pro-God, pro-life religious faith and tradition.
But now the Peoria police and The Arizona Republic have usurped "family values" as a euphemism to obscure radical Islamic, pseudo-religious, immoral, felonious activity – i.e.: honor killing!
"What in the wide, wide world of sports is goin' on here," to quote Slim Pickens.
So, if you're of the Islamic faith, you can attempt to murder, or murder (as in the Buffalo, N.Y., decapitation) your wife or daughter without consequences now in the United States.
Are we Americans going to allow the Balkanization of our laws, moral values and cultural standards by allowing these barbaric, inhumane cultural traditions and medieval malevolence to trump the American culture for the sake of diversity?

A New York lawmaker has proposed a bill that would ban iPhones from being sold in the state, unless Apple provides special "back doors" that would allow law enforcement to spy on users.
That's a double dose of the Nanny State: setting rules for what can be bought and sold, while giving the government an easier way to spy on residents' everyday activities.
The bill is sponsored by State Assemblyman Matthew Titone, D-Staten Island, and it would mandate that iPhones and other cell phones sold in New York be "capable of being decrypted and unlocked." The bill has support, perhaps unsurprisingly, from Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance and other law enforcement groups in the state.
According to U.S. News and World Report, "Vance reportedly recommended the bill to Titone," and a member of Titone's staff told Newsweek the bill was proposed by 62 New York district attorneys seeking the assistance of their legislators."
Apple's newest iPhones come with default encryption settings and would be banned from the state by the legislation unless Apple created new software for phones sold in New York. Google has followed suit and offers data encryption as an option on some newer devices.
Those default settings help protect iPhone users from unwanted hacks — from malicious hackers, government spies or law enforcement agents.
If the bill passes, Apple would face fines of $2,500 for every device sold in New York.
"The proposed bill comes as lawmakers and Silicon Valley tech giants are figuring out how to come to a compromise on device encryption without handing over the keys to the government, or giving its law enforcement and intelligence agencies unfettered access," reported ZDNet.com, a technology news site.
And it's not just happening in New York.
A few days after Titone's bill was introduced, California State Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Sacramento, introduced a similar bill to ban the sale of encrypted cell phones.
It's again no surprise to learn that Cooper has a cozy relationship with law enforcement. Before becoming a state lawmaker, he worked for 30 years in the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, including a stint as the department's top spokesman.
Cooper's bill includes nearly identical language to Titone's — it's almost like law enforcement lobbyists might be asking their friends to introduce the same bill in multiple states — and would also impose a $2,500 fine for every encrypted device sold in the state.
Regular visitors to this space might recognize Titone's name. The Staten Island Democrat is seemingly on the fast-track to the Nanny State Hall of Fame.
Last year, Titone was the lead sponsor on a bill that would have re-instituted New York City's failed "soda ban" on a statewide level for New York residents under age 18.
READ MORE: New York's soda ban could be back — but for kids only
The soda ban in New York City — pushed and approved by Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2012, before being tossed by the state Supreme Court in 2013 — was rightfully mocked for its absurd attempt to control individuals' decisions. Titone's proposal would have affected only minors, but is still difficult to defend on constitutional grounds.
This new proposal, however, is far worse.
It would be bad enough for New York to propose banning iPhones because Titone believed they were increasing childhood obesity or harming Staten Islanders' health — you can almost hear him shouting that kids should put down their cell phones and sodas, can't you?
But the real motivation behind this latest Nanny State proposal is far worse. He wants to force Apple and other cell phone manufacturers to give the state unlimited access to New Yorkers' most personal information and communications.
That's not merely nannyism, its borderline authoritarianism.

A few questions w.r.t. fully-expanded syntax: 1. Chapter 12 of the language manual gives the syntax for fully expanded expressions without reference to internal definitions. Does this mean that all "blocks" of internal definitions followed by expressions are compiled to expression forms? 2. If that's the case, i.e., there are no internal definitions in core syntax, why does the core syntax allow for "implicit" begins in the bodies of lambda, let-values, etc? Wouldn't it be simpler to expand e.g. (lambda formals e1 ... en) to (lambda formals (begin e1 ... en))? Without internal definitions I don't see how this might break equivalence, but I'm sure I'm overlooking something. 3. It appears that "fully-expanded" does not necessarily mean that all macro definitions are removed. Presumably this is because-- thanks to the presence of local-expand-- more macro expansion may occur on fully-expanded syntax? 4. I tried running local-expand on (lambda () (define-syntax foo (syntax-rules () [(_) 42])) (define y 10) y) and got a letrec-syntaxes+values body. But letrec-syntaxes+values is not listed as one of the core forms of fully-expanded syntax. Should it be? Thanks, Dave

Hercules was next sent to Augeas, King of Elis, who had immense droves of cattle.
Augeas had promised him a tenth of the herd, but refused this, alleging that Heracles had acted only in the service of Eurystheus.
Heracles now marched against Augeas to execute his vengeance on him also for his perfidious conduct.
There is still one piece of dirt left in it—and that is a cheating knave, Augeas by name.
Probably the legitimate line of Salmoneus, represented in Augeas.
Augeas did not wait for the decision; he grew angry and commanded his son as well as the stranger to leave his kingdom instantly.
Heracles thereupon sent an army against him, and, though at first defeated, finally slew Augeas and his sons.
But when Augeas heard that this was one of the labours imposed by Eurystheus, he refused the promised guerdon.
Augeas, having broken the bargain, was deposed and slain by Hercules.
But then the stable was that of Augeas, King of Elis, which was at once the largest and the dirtiest in the whole world.

Airport stings keep catching insiders pilfering millions of dollars worth of passenger property from bags that can no longer be effectively locked, thanks to a TSA rule that insists on luggage being equipped with locks that are all vulnerable to the same passkey. Read the rest
The FBI has turned over a redacted set of documents from its investigative archives related to Maricopa County, Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, a notorious strong-man whose antics have cost the taxpayers millions in civil suit settlements for actions ranging from racial profiling to stealing a defendant's paperwork in open court to arresting newspaper owners who refused to turn over readers' identities to torching a house and killing a puppy in the process of investigating traffic citations.
The FBI archives, which go back to 2008, reveal that the Bureau recommended that some or all of former County Attorney Andrew Thomas, Arpaio and his officers be indicted for felony counts of "obstructing criminal investigations of prosecutions, theft by threats, tampering with witnesses, perjury and theft by extortion." This recommendation was ignored by federal prosecutors, who concluded that there was not enough evidence to proceed.
County officials who tried to rein in Arpaio have had their offices swept for bugs, believing that Arpaio's regime engages in dirty tricks and illegal wiretapping against local politicians that are hostile to his tactics. Arpaio's office filed several charges against hostile local politicians, none of which led to convictions (by contrast, Arpaio's friendly county attorney Andrew Thomas was unable to get reelected and was eventually barred from practicing law altogether).
Arpaio's bid to quash the FBI investigation and his campaign against local politicians have cost Arizona taxpayers over $44M to date. Read the rest

A welder in Phoenix assembled a robot out of car and motorcycle parts that serves as a wine-rack. It weighs "Approx 1,000lbs," stands six feet high, holds 32 bottles of wine (or other beverage of choice) and is liberally wired up with glowing LEDs. Yours for a mere $7,000.00.
For the discerning individual who appreciates artwork and wine - you now have a great opportunity to meld those together into one piece of artwork that will display your bottle collection like no other wine rack. This will make you the talk of your wine club, HOA, alcoholics anonymous support group, etc...
There are only several times in one's life when one has the opportunity to purchase something that is RIDICULOUSLY COOL. This is one of those moments.
Need something unique? Sure, you could certainly go to the local Mercedes dealership and pick up a G55 or wait until next year's G63 comes out and yes, it would be unique, you'd be the talk of your friends, and ride around in style but it wouldn't be any different than the next G55 or G63 rolling around. Nooooo waaaaaaay man! Those suckers are mass produced!! You see those all over the place in Scottsdale!
What ya need is a one-off piece of artwork that you will not find anywhere else in the metropolitan area and likely - the entire state.
