In this letter, we report the first use of oblique incidence diffuse reflectance spectrometry to conduct in-vivo measurements of optical properties of three different types of pigmented skin lesions, including melanoma, dysplastic, and common nevi. Both absorption and reduced scattering coefficient spectra were estimated from the spatially resolved diffuse reflectance within the wavelength range of 455–765 nm for 144 pigmented skin lesions including 16 melanomas. The absorption and reduced scattering spectra were found to change with the malignancy of the skin lesions, which were generally higher for the malignant cases than the benign ones. Based on the measurement results, the physiological origin leading to the change of the absorption and scattering properties is also discussed.
Melanoma is the most malignant type of skin cancer (the most common form of human cancers) and also the leading cause of death from skin diseases.1 Early detection and treatment of melanoma can significantly improve patient outcomes. Unfortunately, melanoma is difficult to diagnose by its appearance as it can closely resemble some other pigmented skin lesions, such as common nevi, dysplastic nevi, or seborrheic keratoses. As a result, an invasive biopsy procedure is generally required for accurate diagnosis. Recent studies suggest that the optical properties (e.g., absorption and scattering) of various skin lesions (pigmented or nonpigmented) would change with their different development stages,2- 5 which could be utilized to develop new noninvasive approaches for skin cancer detection. However, the optical properties of melanoma and other pigmented skin lesions have not been well studied or compared up to this date. In this letter, we report the first experimental study of the in-vivo optical absorption and scattering properties of 144 pigmented skin lesions, including 16 melanomas, 98 dysplastic nevi, and 30 common nevi. By using the oblique incidence diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (OIDRS), the spatio-spectral diffuse reflectance (within the visible spectrum) of the skin lesions were measured in vivo. The optical absorption and scattering spectra of the skin lesions were then estimated from the measured diffuse reflectance data. Both the absorption and scattering spectra of different types of skin lesions are compared and their pathological implication is also discussed.
The data acquisition was conducted at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX). The diffuse reflectance spectra were collected from 144 pigmented skin lesions and adjacent healthy skin (for referencing). After the measurement was completed, the skin lesion was biopsied and submitted for histopathological diagnosis. To facilitate the in-vivo characterization of the pigmented skin lesions, we have developed a unique OIDRS measurement system (Fig. 1). The OIDRS system consists of a white light source, a fiber optic sensor probe, and a data acquisition interface.6 The white light source (halogen lamp) provides a full visible wavelength spectrum (455–765 nm) for the OIDRS measurement. The fiber optic sensor probe consists of one or more source fiber for a 45 deg oblique incidence and two linear array of 10 collection fibers to collect the spatial distribution of diffuse reflectance for the estimation of the absorption and scattering parameters of the skin lesions.6 The sensor probe (with an active sensing area of 2×2 mm2) was fabricated using advanced microfabrication technology to ensure high precision and performance for the OIDRS measurements even on the smallest skin lesions. The data acquisition interface consists of an imaging spectrograph to resolve the diffuse reflectance spectra (Fig. 2), which is captured by a CCD camera and stored in a personal computer (PC) for subsequent analysis. Before the actual OIDRS measurement was conducted, the entire measurement system was calibrated with optical phantom solutions.7
The estimation of the absorption and scattering parameters of the skin lesions from the measured diffuse reflectance was conducted based on a combinative approach based on both the diffusion theory and the scalable Monte Carlo simulation.8 In the fiber optic sensor probe, the collection fibers array (detector) is placed in a close position (∼1 mm away) from the incidence fiber (light source) to characterize the smallest skin lesions included in this study (limited to 2 mm in diam). Since the optical transport mean free path (Lt′) is a function of the wavelength of the incident light, the location of the detectors may fall either within or outside the range of Lt′ at different wavelengths within the wide spectrum (455–765 nm) used in the OIDRS measurement. At certain wavelengths, when the location of the detectors falls outside the range of Lt′, the absorption and scattering optical properties of the skin lesion can be directly calculated from the diffuse reflectance using a straightforward diffusion-theory based analytical model.9 However, this model would fail at other wavelengths when the detector location falls within Lt′. In this case, the Monte Carlo simulation can be conducted to deduce the absorption and scattering optical properties of the skin lesions in an inverse problem by calculating and matching the simulated diffuse reflectance results with the actual measurements. However, the Monte Carlo simulation is very inefficient and slow when used in such iterative manner. For this reason, we used the scalable Monte Carlo method.8 First, a initial single reference Monte Carlo simulation was conducted with a fixed anisotropy factor g. The precalculated time-resolved diffuse reflectance R(x,y,t) was computed for reference absorption and scattering parameters (μar and μsr) and saved in a computer file. The time-resolved diffuse reflectance R(x,y,t) for any new optical parameters, μa and μs, is calculated based on the following relationship

As shown in Fig. 3, the absorption coefficient spectra for the melanoma and dysplastic cases are similar, which otherwise are generally higher than those for the benign ones. In human skin, the dominant optical absorbers in the visible spectrum range are hemoglobin and melanin. From the absorption coefficient spectra, the concentration of hemoglobin and its oxygen saturation (StO2) can be estimated.10 The absorption coefficient spectra μa(λ) is related to the known extinction coefficients of oxy-hemoglobin (ɛmel), deoxy-hemoglobin (ɛoxy), melanin (ɛoxy) and other absorbers by

As shown in Fig. 3, the reduced scattering coefficient generally increases with the degree of dysplasia or malignancy of the skin lesions within the entire visible spectrum. From the reduced scattering coefficient spectra, the size distributions of the tissue scatterers are estimated using the inverse Mie theory,12 while assuming that size distribution of the scatterers is Gaussian N(μ, σ2) with a mean of μ and a standard deviation of σ (Table 2). It is clearly shown that the melanomas have an average scatterer size significantly larger than those of the dysplastic and benign ones. This result conforms to those observations made in previous studies on skin lesions. Mitochondria, other cytoplasmic organelles and cell nuclei, are believed to be the major light scatterers in the skin tissue.13- 14 The atypical nuclei with larger size existing in the malignant lesions would be a main factor for the significant increase in light scattering.

Hyundai Shell World Rally Team Secures First Double Finish In Style With Podium
Posted by: newsla on Mar 10, 2014 - 06:44 AM
Hyundai Shell World Rally Team Secures First Double Finish In Style With Maiden Podium At Rally Mexico
The Hyundai Shell World Rally Team has celebrated a landmark result in the gruelling Rally Mexico with lead driver Thierry Neuville scoring a maiden podium for the team. Aussie Chris Atkinson also secured a points finish in his first competitive outing in the Hyundai i20 WRC, fighting his way back to a commendable seventh place after overcoming technical difficulties early in the rally.
Thierry Neuville with his co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul were on scintillating form over the weekend after initially struggling with the gravel terrain and high altitude on the first full day. The Belgium put in a string of competitive stage times on Saturday to edge his way into a podium position by the end of the day before continuing his fine form into Sunday's final stages to consolidate the result and pick up 15 drivers' points.
The result wasn't without its moments of drama, as the #7 Hyundai i20 WRC developed a radiator leak at the conclusion of the final stage. Neuville and Gilsoul were able to fix the leak in the road section and make it safely back to the service park enabling the drivers and the team to celebrate their well-earned podium result.
Neuville said: "We are incredibly happy to have scored this podium result and especially in a rally as demanding as Mexico. We kept our heads down and focused on delivering the best results we could in each stage without going over the limit. Our objective has always been just to bring the car home and finish the rally, so to take a podium is a really nice bonus for the team, who have worked so hard. Having the first-hand experience of rally competition is so valuable for the team and the data we have gathered this weekend will be extremely useful in further development of the Hyundai i20 WRC and the team overall. We are delighted with this result and to have exceeded our targets. It's been a real team effort and I'm proud of what we've achieved, even if there is much more to come."
For Chris Atkinson Rally Mexico was his first competitive WRC event for over a year and his first as a driver for the Hyundai Shell World Rally Team. The Aussie exceeded the team's expectations by completing the gruelling event in his Hyundai i20 WRC finishing a highly commendable seventh place overall, picking up six well deserved championship points.
Atkinson and his co-driver Stéphane Prévot had to overcome some technical issues on the opening day but still registered a top ten position heading into Saturday's stages. The pairing continued to fight hard despite encountering some demanding conditions through the Mexican gravel terrain as one of the first drivers to contest each stage. They achieved the target of completing the rally and ensuring that Hyundai Shell World Rally Team, in just its third WRC event, brought both cars to the finish for the first time.
Atkinson said: "It's not been an easy weekend but what a way to end it for the team to celebrate a two-car finish and our debut podium. Mexico is a tough rally and I have had to deal with a few issues during the event. We had a suspension problem on Friday which put us down the order and then we had to run early in the subsequent stages which meant a lot of slippery conditions. We had to play things sensibly and drive cautiously to achieve our objective of finishing the event, which I am pleased we did comfortably. We made some improvements during the rally and I'm pretty satisfied with seventh overall and more importantly to finish. This experience will be really useful for the team to improve the car for the rest of the year. I look forward to returning to the cockpit of the Hyundai i20 WRC later in the season and thank the team for all their support this weekend. Everyone deserves the podium result today."
Rally Mexico has been the toughest test so far for the Hyundai Shell World Rally Team with some of the longest, arduous stages and physical demands on the team with the high altitude in Mexico. The result marks the first time that both Hyundai i20 WRC cars complete a full rally event but to do so with a podium result far exceeds the team's objectives and adds 23 championship points to its 2014 tally.
Hyundai Motorsport was only established 15 months ago so the WRC programme is still in development with plenty more for the team still to learn in the remaining rallies of the year. The team has focussed on gaining experience and information from each event with the target of a two car finish still very realistic aims.
Team Principal Michel Nandan said: "Our team is still very young so this result is hugely significant for us. Not only have we finished one of the toughest rallies with both cars, but we have also scored a debut podium in the process. It's fantastic. We are learning all the time and we are pushing hard both on event and back at our factory in Alzenau. The WRC programme is a big challenge and one upon which we embarked with a very short time scale. This result today is a huge reward for a lot of hard work and determination, so thanks must go to the entire team in Alzenau and also to our colleagues in the Namyang R&D centre in Korea. We are building a great team of people and we are going to celebrate this together before getting straight back to work, preparing for Portugal. Our learning curve continues despite this good result."

Continium. Cube. Columbus. What sounds like characters in a comic book series is really the three defining components in "C-City", a new museum district located at the entrance into the Dutch-German border town of Kerkrade. Designed by Rotterdam-based Shift Architecture Urbanism, the €20.5 million project recently broke ground and is currently scheduled to open by the end of 2015.

C-City will bring technology, science, and design in one integrated museum district. Next to the existing Discovery Centre Continium will be the C-Square, a sunken-square space for student labs, restaurants, and other public amenities. C-Square will also serve as an underground pathway landscape that connects all of C-City's facilities.

The documentary Lagos Wide and Close - An Interactive Journey into an Exploding City, arose from Rem Koolhaas' 2001 visit to Lagos, Nigeria with filmmaker Bregtje van der Haak, hoping to document a phase in one of Africa's fastest growing cities. The doc's unique direction allows viewers to switch between two video and three audio channels in realtime, mixing and matching different perspectives on the city. At once documenting Lagos from the personal perspective of bus driver Olawole Busayo ("Close"), and an aerial urban view ("Wide"), the interactive piece samples from Busayo's daily journey, interviews with Lagos' citizens, and comments by Koolhaas.

After visiting in 2001, Koolhaas continued to research Lagos throughout the early 'aughts with the Project on the City at Harvard's GSD, leading to the interactive documentary's release on DVD in 2004. The film is now available to experience online, where viewers can take full advantage of the multi-modal storytelling, and flip through ...

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
So here is another question, following the previous one, as I have globally understood the reason of hearsay exception. This is what happened, on which i would like to have your advice: Plaintiff asked for alleged unpaid rents but did not come up with a valid lease agreement. The reason why is becuase a flood occurred just before the end of the lease, sewage problem - it was a lease purchase option - and the house was contaminated so we left the property without moving out our stuff and went to live somewhere else, and the owner (plaintiff) decided a bit later that once the works would be done (by us) we could stay rent free until we would buy the property. Therefore he applied to his insurance for loss of rent indemnities, stating that the lease was terminated and that we had vacated the property due to inhabitability. The document i wanted to exhibit was precisely the copy of that declaration and the sworn statement of loss, to prove thta we were no longer in a rental situation, but just occupying the house for free. I also had an email to confirm, butobviously as hmy lawyer had stepped out just before the calendar hearing without telling mewhat was left to be done, I realized too late that I had missed that important hearing and so practically the court case was lost after the judge refused a motion of continuance to reset the calendar hearing. So even though Plaintiff had declared under oath to his insurance that we were no longer renting his place and got paid $15,000 for his loss of rents, he claimed the opposite to the judge, that we had stood at he property as renters, and got $31,000 from the judge in addition to the $15,000 he got from the insurance. What do you think about that ?
Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX excellent advice. Unfortunately i had a series of mishaps before that hearing that came up to us in a very short notice of time to prepare. I had hardly 10 business days notice. I need to calculate this. My mishaps include 2 printers having a break down, then another breakdown with the car on the way to photocopy and then to the hearing. I am referring to the correspondence of the private adjuster of my opponent, asking for refund of loss of rents and stating thta we had vacated the property after the lease becuase inhabitable and terminated the lease.I have also the sworn statement in my exhibits, but I could not photocopy it, there was also a problem with the photocopy machine at the Court, can you beleive that ? So I ended up with a limited number of exhibits with 3 copies, and they were discarded with hearsay exception rule.What made me lose too is that the Defender's lawyer failed to respect a number of precedural rules. I will go over this in next questions.As of now, the reason why I am asking the above questions is the following :What do you think of the situation of the Plaintiff who asks for indemnification of losses of rents to his insurance swearing that the renter had left the premises etc.. and next he opens a lawsuit pretending the contrary to get payment of the alleged lost rents ?

Comments about Dorman - OE Solutions Anti-Lock Brake Sensor With Harness:
Paid for on line with online coupon and picked up at store 10 minutes later. Best price I found. This sensor was an exact replacement for my 2003 Silverado that had low speed activation of ABS that caused pedal fade. Replaced then reset ABS. Perfect
Best Uses
Comments about Dorman - OE Solutions Anti-Lock Brake Sensor With Harness:
The ABS would kick in on my 2000 Silverado when stopping under five miles per hour causing me to continue to roll. This is a common problem when brake dust and dirt get between the hub and ABS sensor. I went to remove the old sensors to clean them and one of them broke off in the hub. This sensor was a perfect fit for my truck and very easy to install. The only difficult part about the install was that I needed to remove the rust from my truck in order for the plastic connectors to attack to the truck itself. Just a few minutes with a round file and they went right in. Just remember that you have to remove your wheel, caliper, and rotor to get to this sensor. It is very easy to change and this is the best price compared to the other auto parts stores.

Comments about Dorman - OE Solutions Anti-Lock Brake Sensor With Harness:
The one-way fasteners were all in the exact same place as the OEM I took off. Nice touch. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I haven't had it on long enough to attest to durability.

Q:Just so I'm not mixing this up with anything else, this sensor and harness is the same piece that runs from the wheel hub assembly to the sensor located in the wheel well behind the tire, correct? The ABS light in my 03 Silverado keeps going on and off and I'm noticing that the brakes pulsate a little every now and then, and when I checked that line earlier today I noticed that there was a spot where the outer lining had eroded away and wiring was exposed, which I think might be causing my problem.
1 answer
A:Happy to help, Mike! Locate the ABS sensor on the wheel hub behind the brake rotor. Alternatively, you should be able to see the sensor and pump from the backside of the wheel hub. The front of the sensor, however, is facing the back of the rotor. The ABS sensor looks like a small "L" shaped black or silver box. The box will have one electrical connector plugged into the bottom of it (on the back of the sensor). Being that the ABS light keeps going on and off indicates a bad or loose connection or low brake fluid level. If it was a sensor or module the light would stay on continuously. The most common is the wiring going to the wheel sensors. As the car moves over bumps and rough road the wiring flexes and may make or break a connection. Check to make sure the connections are tight and secure, check for continuity in the wiring when the light is on. The light will automatically turn off when the malfunction is terminated or connection is re-established. Also check your brake lights, especially the third brake light in the middle. Check to make sure your brake fluid level is full. When light is on, disconnect the wire connector going to the master cylinder to see if the light goes off as the float inside the reservoir could be the problem.
Q:What is the specified output for a normal functional front wheel ABS for this Vehicle (2002 /Silverado) in Milli Volts AC when the front tire is spun by hand?
1 answer
A:I'm glad to assist you! There is no fixed AC voltage output since it varies depending on wheel speed. However, as you turn/spin the wheel, you should see AC voltage, not DC voltage coming out of the sensor.
Q:2001 Silverado 2WD 2 door plain p/u has no ABS function working, and ABS light on dash is on. Sometimes the red brake light will come on also, but it doesn't stay on. Brakes are in good shape, but I have previously replaced whole LF bearing/harness assembly several years ago. Do you think I bought a defective part, and do you think the ABS sensor might fix the problem? Will mechanic's diagnostic machine be necessary to identify which component may be bad?
3 answers
A:I could be of help, Rob! This could be caused by several things. A diagnostic scan tool would be the only way to pin point the issue. It could be a hub/abs sensor, ABS module, rear speed sensor etc.
A:Happy to answer that question for you Rob. It may be possible the sensor may be faulty, but if it was defective it would have failed when you first got it. I suggest checking the master cylinder; the brake fluid level sensor may cause the brake light to intermittently come on and off if the level Is low. That may trigger an ABS trouble code causing your ABS light to stay on. Additional diagnosis from your mechanic will be necessary before you make any purchases.
A:I'm happy to help, Rob! It's possible that a faulty ABS sensor could cause your ABS system to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp on your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2WD 5.3L V8 standard cab. It's also possible that damage to the tone wheel or failure of another ABS system component has caused your ABS indicator to illuminate.

Q:what are the steps for installing the Dorman anti-lock brake sensor on a 1999 Silverado 1500 regular cab, short bed, 4WD w/ 5.3L engine?
1 answer
A:With reference to this Dorman - OE Solutions Anti-Lock Brake Sensor with Harness - part# 970-011 for installing the (ABS) wheel sensor on a 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500, Raise and support the vehicle. Use a socket wrench to remove the tire and wheel. Disconnect the brake rotor with a socket wrench so you can release the mounting clips for the wheel speed sensors from the frame, knuckle and upper control arm. Unplug the electrical connector for the wheel sensor and remove the wheel speed sensor mounting bolt with a socket wrench. Pull the wheel sensor straight out of the bore in the wheel hub/bearing assembly. Clean the wheel sensor mounting surface with a wire brush to remove any corrosion and apply a thin layer of wheel bearing lubricant to the hub surface. Install the new wheel speed sensor by reversing the removal steps. Ensure the sensor lies flat against the wheel hub and use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel sensor mounting bolt. For any further assistance, you may also visit your nearest Advance Auto store or call us directly at 1-877-ADVANCE (238-2623) and one of our representatives there would be more than happy to assist you.

Here's my Don Cheadle story: At the Toronto premiere of Iron Man 3 on Monday, the place is a zoo, packed with fans who'd lined up for hours, dozens turned away. Cheadle, who plays Iron Man's ally, Lieutenant-Colonel James Rhodes – and his metal-suited alter ego Iron Patriot – is there. During a Q&A before the curtain rises, Cheadle is asked, "Will this film be your legacy?" He answers, "No." He pauses for the laugh, then elaborates – no one knows what one's legacy will be, yadda yadda. The audience puts on limited-edition, red-white-and-blue 3-D glasses, and the movie starts.
It's exactly what you'd expect, a clangtastic clangfest of clanging as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) saves the world. Cheadle does his thing, which is to jazz each of his lines with his signature brand of amused intelligence.
But he's not in it much. None of the humans are, what with all the mayhem. So afterward I tweet, "Asked if this film will be his legacy, Cheadle answered, 'No.' He is correct." Soon a tweet comes back. From Cheadle. It reads, "Um … ouch?"
In our interview the next afternoon, I come clean about our Tweetlationship. (I trademark that!) Cheadle is unfazed. "Yeah, it's a big, summer, tent-pole fantasy entertainment spectacle, and the target audience wants the clanging," he says. "I know that going in. But I'm glad to be in it. I think it's fun." (Not to mention lucrative – only a lucky few get to gambol about in multibillion-dollar film franchises.) He admits that a lot of scenes are figured out on the fly, and that much of the time, he and Downey Jr. don't even know what special effect they're reacting to.
So every day on set, "there are dollar signs flying by, with fear signs right behind them," Cheadle continues. "Because if you're doing it strong but doing it wrong, it's going to stink strong. You have to take a big swing, which I like."
Cheadle can swing with the best of them. Whether the role is small but potent, as in the recent Flight, or important and Oscar-nominated, as in Hotel Rwanda, his body of work is classy and diverse, from Boogie Nights and Crash to the Ocean's Eleven trilogy. He's 48 now, the father of two daughters (with his long-time partner, the actress Bridgid Coulter). His skin is glossy, his teeth dazzling, his suit sharp. I feel I need sunglasses just to gaze upon him, and tell him so. Just then his phone beeps, and he holds it up in front of his face to check who's calling. "You taking a selfie?" I josh, and he plays right along, saying, "Go ahead, you were saying," while preening into his screen.
He puts the phone down, back to business. "It's how I think about most of what I do: 'Be wrong strong,'" he adds. "If you're going to do something, go big. Don't limp your way in."
That philosophy is also why he signed onto his day job, as Machiavellian management consultant Marty Kaan on the Showtime series House of Lies. Well, that and the fact that they shoot for only three months a year, the set is 20 minutes from his house, and he really likes his character. Marty's a divorced dad "with serious issues in every aspect of his life" who can't quite pull off being the most cynical user in a cynical, using world, because he still has feelings, however much he tries to bury them. The writing is sharp and dark, and only someone as charming as Cheadle could make palatable Marty's nastier impulses.
"When I read the script, I went, 'Wow, are they going to let us do and say these things?'" he recalls. "It could run for 10 years and I'd be happy, because I think there's so much to mine."
And then there's the nudity. House of Lies is the opposite of Iron Man – quite often, Cheadle strips down to naked, and is his own (very) special effect. "It's not the most comfortable thing in the world for me," he says. "I'm not an exhibitionist. But it's an adult-themed comedy, and it's true to the character. To go demure at key moments makes no sense. We have to go for it."
I tell him that after I saw one scene – in which Marty, his pals and a bunch of hookers all have sex in the same room – I polled male friends about whether that was realistic. Grinning, Cheadle asks, "And what did they say?" then switches into an overly innocent voice and answers for them: "'Noooo, no, men don't do that, that is pure fantasy.'" Then he scrunches up his face in disdain and mouths, "Yeah, they do."
Cheadle developed his charm early, as a self-titled "education brat" whose family bounced from Kansas City to Nebraska to Denver, living in student housing while his father, a psychologist, pursued advanced degrees. "I guess being able to be facile helped," he says. He caught the acting bug while playing Templeton the Rat in a sixth-grade production of Charlotte's Web; he acutely remembers sitting in a diner with his mimeographed script, inhaling the toner scent and making extensive notes in the margins.
"I took it very seriously, even at 10 years old," he says. "I wanted to get it right. I wanted to be good. And the response gave me a very different feeling than I'd ever had before." He was a hit? "I brought the house down," he deadpans.
Now perched in the catbird seat, Cheadle nevertheless remains realistic. Discussing a story from last Sunday's New York Times, about how Kerry Washington is the first African-American woman in decades to headline a successful network TV drama (Scandal), Cheadle says, "I think what they're realizing is, 'Oh, we didn't have to be racist all this time? The show's a hit, people love it? See, it's okay. See?'" He rolls his eyes. "The people who argue, 'Hey, the [U.S.] president is black, racism's dead,' I'm not going to change their minds anyway."
Though he's happy to be lauded as an African-American headlining a quality show, he insists that success is "always an individual definition, an individual quest. I don't know how it looks from the outside, but my journey is totally different from Will Smith's or Denzel's or Jamie Foxx's. We're all trying to do a similar thing, ultimately. But the ways that we got here are all very different. People think I've 'made it,' but every time I finish a job, I'm unemployed. I don't know what the 'it' that I've made is."
He rhymes off the five stages of every actor's career: "Who the hell is Don Cheadle? Get me Don Cheadle. Get me a Don Cheadle type. Get me a young Don Cheadle. Who the hell is Don Cheadle?" He says he's not sure which stage he's in. "I think I have a foot in all of them. But all of us have 'Who the hell is …' coming. So I'm just trying to enjoy the middle three."
When I get home, I tweet to thank him. He tweets back ":)"Report Typo/Error

Should marked symptoms of exhaustion or of cyanosis arise, the bathing should be at once stopped.
cyanosis of the extremities seemed to have been present only at first.
Like pneumonia, anesthesia may kill the fetus if kept up for a long time, or if marked by cyanosis.
In other cases of phthisis and of cyanosis the nails and finger-ends become clubbed like acorns.
The duration of the attack is not longer than ten seconds, and there is no cyanosis or distress of any kind.
The nausea and abdominal pain are more marked, while the dyspnoea, cyanosis, and shrunken condition of the skin are less marked.
That's not a lay term either, but when the patient is in oxygen need or oxygen want, cyanosis would be apparent.
With the re-establishment of respiration the cyanosis rapidly fades, to be succeeded in some cases by pallor and perspiration.
Still, we have patients in the state, as far as cyanosis and agonal type respiration, who are resuscitatable.
cyanosis of the extremities (bluish tinge, due to excessive venous circulation).

A bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes resulting from inadequate oxygenation of the blood.

Strohmer, Bernhard and Schernthaner, Christiana and Pichler, Maximilian (2003) Nearly Fatal Torsade de Pointes with Sotalol. [Journal (Paginated)]
Full text available as:
A 75-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) experienced recurrent seizures at home. Holter monitoring (each line 50 sec) showed repetitive runs of torsade de pointes (TdP), degenerating into ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia (VT). Abrupt asytole heralded end of electrical activity and life. Amazingly, 6 min after cardiac arrest a slow ventricular escape rhythm arose spontaneously without resuscitation. At baseline, repolarisation was markedly prolonged (QTc>660 msec) and ventricular bigeminy triggered short bursts of TdP after "long-short" sequences. No hypokalemia or renal dysfunction was present. Following intensive treatment (sedation, magnesium iv, acceleration of heart rate) the patient recovered without neurological deficit. Except left ventricular hypertrophy and incomplete left bundle branch block the results of angiography, electrophysiological study and ajmaline test were normal. There was no family history of sudden death. Months ago a cardioversion attempt with ibutilide triggered polymorphic VT. Therapy with metoprolol (95 mg/day) was discontinued due to poor efficacy of rhythm control. Thus, sotalol (240 mg/day) was initiated in-hospital without signs of QT prolongation within 4 days (QT 416, QTc 432 msec). However, two weeks later the patient presented with an "idiosyncratic" proarrhythmic response to sotalol (IKr-blocking drug) and a life-threatening arrhythmia.1 There is growing evidence that drug-induced long QT syndrome (LQTS) may be due to "silent" mutations on LQT genes.2,3 Although not proven by molecular analysis, our case seems to resemble a subclinical, inherited form of LQTS that makes the patient vulnerable to the QT-prolonging effects of a variety of cardiac and noncardiac drugs. The concept of "repolarization reserve" suggests that any factor that impairs the repolarizing currents renders TdP very likely when IKr-blocking drugs are used. Avoiding torsadogenic drugs should basically prevent recurrence of TdP. However, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was placed for safety reasons.4 During a follow-up of more than two years a few non-sustained episodes occurred, the longest, a short-coupled polymorphic VT lasted for 25 beats resulting in a diverted shock..

text: I know all of us want to compete for the super bowl THIS year and want to see every hole filled. The problem with looking at every year as "do or die" is that it forces your hand to keep guys that seem irreplaceable in the short term, but who hamper us in achieving the ultimate prize on down the road due to bloated contracts or force us to reach to fill the position in the draft. I don't think we should force any picks AT ALL this year based on need. The team's number one goal out of this draft should be to acquire as many quality players as possible out of this draft class, regardless of position. If we can trade down and pick up a couple of more players out of this draft class, that is even better. If there is no one we want and cant trade back this year, trade for a future pick and acquire more picks next year, in a higher round. If we are on the clock in the first round and the next Jason Witten is there, select him and move on. If the next Troy Aikman, or Emmitt Smith (the wordsmith) or Michal Irvin is there, pull the trigger. Stop trying to plug a hole just to say you filled it and then watch the guy underachieve based on draft position. Draft football players who can play and move on. We probably won't go to the super bowl next year using this approach, but the odds are in 2015 our cap will look much healthier, we will have an influx of talent that will stick, the contracts of aging players will start to come off the books, and most importantly .... there will be fewer busts.

LOS ANGELES - Calling Proposition 13 a corporate tax give-away, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa asked state leaders today to eliminate the benefits of the law for commercial properties as part of a "grand bargain" to boost funding for public education.
The mayor called for changes to Proposition 13 during a speech at the Sacramento Press Club.
He said the 1978 ballot initiative that placed strict limits on property taxes has led to a decrease in investments in public education and infrastructure.
Villaraigosa called for a Homeowner and Public Education Act that would eliminate the cap on how fast commercial property taxes can rise. The changes would generate between $2 billion and $8 billion in new revenue for the state per year, the mayor said. He said the money should be evenly applied to education and toward reducing property taxes for homeowners.
Villaraigosa also called for ending a provision of Proposition 13 that requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to raise taxes.
"Let's end the tyranny of the minority in California and give the governor and the Legislature that ability to pass a revenue increase by majority vote," he said.
The changes to the law should come as part of a larger "grand bargain" between progressives who favor taxes and the business community, which opposes taxes.
Villaraigosa called for liberals to agree to eliminate some taxes that "don't make good economic sense." He suggested providing credits for employers who increase hiring and eliminating a tax on corporations.
At the same time, Villaraigosa called for a new tax on services, which could include legal, accounting, and real estate services.
"It's crazy that we are taxing donuts and not lawyers," he said.
The mayor also took shots at state lawmakers and Gov. Jerry Brown, saying they were "aiming low." He credited state Democrats in the legislature and Brown for passing a budget on time, but described it as "crisis management" and said it "blew huge holes in the budgets of families" in the form of increased tuition for public colleges and universities.
Villaraigosa said increased fees for the UC and Cal State systems amount to a 12.5 percent tax increase on families.
The mayor spent the majority of his speech talking about the problem of public education.
He said the state's eighth-graders placed 46th in the country in math scores, while one-half of Chinese applicants to U.S. colleges had perfect math SAT scores.
"I laugh out loud when I hear that our schools are adequately funded," Villaraigosa said, adding that private schools spend as much as five times more per pupil than California spends. "Believe me, affluent parents aren't engaging in wasteful spending."
The mayor's speech amounts to "a war on Prop. 13," said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, an anti-tax group named for a co-author of Proposition 13.
Coupal sent a letter to Villaraigosa asking him to meet with his group or debate him on the subject during the mayor's visit to Sacramento. He said he has not received a response.
Coupal said he would throw "significant resources" at any effort to change Proposition 13 and doubted even a split roll, with different laws for taxing business and residential properties, would have much success. Polls have consistently shown strong support for Proposition 13.
San Francisco County Assessor Recorder Phil Ting failed to obtain enough signatures in 2009 for an initiative that would have created a split roll.
Any changes to Proposition 13 would have to be placed on a ballot by a two-thirds vote of each house of the Legislature or by an initiative and approved by voters.
The trip is Villaraigosa's sixth outside Southern California since mid- June.
Villaraigosa was in Baltimore and Washington June 17-20 for a four-day meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors; in Chicago and Aspen, Colo., June 30- July 3 for a Clinton Global Initiative America meeting and the Aspen Ideas Festival; in San Francisco July 14 to speak to a group of lawyers supporting gun control and meet with the San Francisco Chronicle's editorial board and former Mayor Willie Brown; in Washington July 21 to testify before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works in Washington on behalf of a transportation bill; and on vacation in Iceland July 26-Aug 2.

Studies with actual math in them conclude that momentum in sports, as most of us understand it, is largely an illusion.
What people tend to single out as pivotal events are, when you dig down, generally not so pivotal.
That's not an effective line of reasoning with Toronto Argonauts coach Scott Milanovich.
In his mind, the Argos' Sunday date with the Montreal Alouettes hinged on a play in the third quarter. The Argos had just whittled a 23-8 Montreal lead down to 23-15 on quarterback Zach Collaros's 21-yard touchdown scamper.
With Montreal driving on the next possession, Argos safety Jermaine Gabriel blitzed rookie Als pivot Tanner Marsh, hitting him just as he tried to deliver a pass; the ball landed in the considerable arms of defensive end Kiante Tripp, who cantered 54 yards for a touchdown.
It was their second score in the space of 1 minute 10 seconds.
"Tripp's touchdown was the game changer ... you could just feel the momentum on the sidelines shift at that point," Milanovich said after the game, which featured the largest crowd at Percival Molson Stadium since 2011.
Regardless of whether momentum is an actual thing – and many empiricists insist it is not – there are benefits the Argos (6-4) can draw from a 37-30 final that allowed them not only to snap a two-game skid but prevented the Alouettes (4-6) from grabbing a share of first.
That they were able to do so without star receiver Chad Owens and with their backup quarterback and third-string running back makes it, in the coach's words, a "season-changer."
"We talked about it being a character day for us. Not so much a statement day, but let's see what kind of character we have when everybody thinks we're not good enough," Milanovich said.
"That's what I'm proud of. I told them after the game, there won't be another time all season that they doubt that they can win a game."
That's something the team in the other dressing room wishes it was able to say.
The Als frittered away leads in losses to Calgary and Saskatchewan earlier this season, and after a first half in which their smothering defence dominated the Argos offence – and roughed up Collaros to the tune of four sacks and several more knockdowns – it all fell apart.
The fact Marsh ended the day 13-for-28 with three interceptions and a fumble didn't help.
Asked to rate his performance, the Texas native summarized it in one word.
"Bad. You can't win with that, I've got to be better ... I just made too many mistakes, you've got to win that game, man," he said.
That's undoubtedly true, but it's unfair to hang this one just on Marsh – had the Argos not dropped a sure touchdown and missed three field goals, a comeback wouldn't have been required against the injury-riddled Als.
And if the Montreal defence had the Argo offence figured out in the first half – defensive end John Bowman stripped the ball from John Chiles on the Argos' third play of the game, cornerback Geoff Tisdale scooped up the ball and scored the day's opening touchdown – whatever adjustments Milanovich and his staff made at halftime more than compensated.
And when Collaros managed to stave off the baying hounds of the Montreal pass rush and find some open receivers early in the second half, the Argo offence came into the game.
"We burned them a couple of times on their pressure stuff, Spencer Watt caught a pass down the sideline," the former University of Cincinnati standout said. "In the fourth quarter it scared them out of it a little bit, and we were able to have a little more time to execute things."
It can be argued that had a bigger effect than Tripp's interception, Milanovich called the second half "a big growth spurt for Zach."
"I knew he was a physically tough kid. It's the mental toughness that makes or breaks quarterbacks, particularly young quarterbacks," he said.
As Collaros found his stride in the second half, Marsh struggled to get into a groove, despite a long touchdown pass to Duron Carter – his first pro score – Argos defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones predictably made his life uncomfortable.
The low point for the Als was a trick play in which receiver S.J. Green lobbed a pass upfield to no one in particular. It was intercepted by Jamie Robinson.
With less than two minutes to play, Toronto took the lead for good on Collaros's nifty pass to Dontrelle Inman.
When the Als got the ball back, Marsh struck the gun-slinger's pose and flung a ball upfield to Jerome Messam for 45 yards.
On the next play, he hit London, who appeared to have scored the tying touchdown. No such luck – he had stepped out of bounds, the Als were stuffed on a running play, then Marsh threw his final interception.
Unlike his first two CFL starts – wins against B.C. and the Argos – there would be no happy ending.
"We didn't put it away when we had a chance to," Als' GM Jim Popp said.
That's a lesson the Argos appear to have assimilated; the Als' season depends on them learning it.Report Typo/Error

The secret weapon. The art of surprise. The shock tactics. We don't see a lot of it these days in the NRL. With so many commentators, experts, journalists, social media and in this world of perfect information, it's almost impossible for an NRL coach to spring the unexpected on an unsuspecting opponent.
It happened on Sunday though. Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur fooled everyone with his unpredictable decision to play regular halfback Chris Sandow in the fullback position to replace the mercurial Jarryd Hayne, who was unavailable through State of Origin representation. It proved to be quite the master stroke and without doubt one of the deciding factors in the Eels' 22-12 victory over the Bulldogs.
Of course, it's one thing for the coach to take the calculated gamble on such a positional change. It's totally up to the player and his teammates to make it work. Full credit goes to Chris Sandow. He was absolutely brilliant.
The last time the Eels were forced to play without regular fullback Hayne, they struggled to compete. Sensing his team obviously relies on Hayne's talents of speed, footwork and playmaking ability, coach Arthur elected this time to replace him with a player capable of providing such a skill set.
Sandow certainly delivered. Standing at fullback in defence, Sandow was now spared the normally heavy tackling workload he experiences each weekend when positioned in the front line of defence. All opposition teams choose to run their big men at the little fellow to wear him out. As a result, every time the Eels had possession, it was a fresh and highly energetic Sandow who buzzed around looking for the ball at every opportunity.
He sparked many of Parramatta's attacking raids and came up with several clean line breaks and many half-line breaks with his blinding acceleration and elusiveness.
The move to fullback and the extra space it provided this gifted footballer certainly took the Bulldogs by surprise. They weren't prepared for it at all. It really was the difference between the two teams on the afternoon. The Eels looked far more dangerous than their opponents with the ball in hand.
In praising the Sandow performance to this contest, it would be wrong to dismiss other factors that contributed to the success.
The Parramatta goal line defence was outstanding. They were forced to defend their try-line for long periods on a couple of occasions but appeared determined to repel all challenges. There was unity in the way players moved together. There was desperation in their actions when it was needed most. These are great indicators of tremendous team spirit and a happy football team. They are playing for each other – and obviously playing for their coach.
Mind you, the Bulldogs' attacking game hardly provided the most difficult of examinations for the Eels' defenders.
The Bulldogs, without their regular playmakers and several other key players, looked cumbersome and disorganised for most of the match. They tried hard enough, but with so many players playing out of position they just couldn't muster any cohesion at all when in attacking situations.
It's one of my real concerns with the NRL that current salary capping models and development pathways do not provide adequate depth of talent in key positions to cover NRL teams for the unavailability of key players. For mine, that's not a professional football code. Playing substandard players clearly not up to NRL level, or asking others to play out of position to cover for missing troops, is surely not a great look for our game. We continuer to gloss over these issues and hope no one raises them each year. It really is time for a summit to deal with this problem once and for all.
The Bulldogs' situation was made even worse when two of their players, fullback Sam Perrett and young front-rower David Klemmer, were forced out of the game with injury before half-time.
It simply wasn't the Bulldogs' day and much of this was totally out of their control.
The Eels though; wow, this is developing into quite a serious football team. They have big, athletic and fast outside backs. They have creativity. You can see a number of promising young forwards starting to find their comfort zone in the top grade.
I see a real future here. Parramatta fans should be getting excited. They should also be excited they have a coach who is prepared to take a chance and back the talents of his players to get a result.
Coach Brad Arthur took a punt on Sandow. Sometimes you make the right decision. Sometimes you make the decision right. Both Arthur and Sandow played their part on a great Sunday afternoon for the Eels.

Using various data, from public commentaries and survey data to the content of film genres, he shows how filmmakers use media violence to advance their careers; evangelical Christians use it to draw moral lines; young men use sexual violence to bond with each other, affirming their authority and status over their victims; and rape educators use media violence to undermine that male power. Also, he and Toni Calasanti research expressions of ageism and agency in popular and academic culture.
