Argentina will gain control of the Falkland Islands within 20 years, the country's foreign minister claimed today.
Hector Timerman denounced the United Kingdom as "fanatics" and said they were only interested in the islands because of their oil reserves.
Speaking on a visit to London, he said he would hand Britain a "diplomatic package" that would see an end to the 180-year-old dispute over the ownership of the Islands.
"I don't think it will take another 20 years.
"I think that the world is going through a process of understanding more and more that this is a colonial issue, an issue of colonialism, and that the people living there were transferred to the islands," he said.
Mr Timerman also lashed out at Foreign Secretary William Hague for refusing to hold face-to-face talks on the future of the Falklands.
He pulled out of a meeting with Mr Hague after the Foreign Office insisted a representative of the Falklands also attended.
"The United Kingdom has never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity to find a solution for the Malvinas," Mr Timerman said.
He added: "We have been trying to find a peaceful solution for 180 years.
"I think the fanatics are not in Buenos Aires but maybe in the United Kingdom because they are 14,000km away from the islands.
"And I think they are using the people living in the islands for political (reasons) and to have access to oil and natural resources which belong to the Argentine people.
"I think we are not fanatical at all.
"There is not one single country in the world which supports the right of the United Kingdom to govern over the Malvinas. Not one.
"According to the United Nations, there are only two parties to the conflict - the United Kingdom and the Republic of Argentina.
"It is an issue that has to be resolved by Argentina and the United Kingdom."
The Foreign Minister said the interests of the islanders would be protected under Argentinian rule, including "their way of life, their language and right to remain British citizens".
Mr Timerman dismissed next month's planned referendum of the islanders on whether they want to remain part of the British Overseas Territories as meaningless.
"If you ask the colonial people who came with a colonial power and replaced the people who were living in the islands, it is like asking the British citizens of the Malvinas Islands if they want to remain British," he said.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are still very much open to a meeting with Mr Timerman and the original appointment is still in the foreign secretary's diary for tomorrow.
"We hope that he will accept this offer and that we can engage in a meaningful discussion on issues of mutual interest.
"Mr Timerman's own plans in the UK are clearly focused on the Falkland Islands issue and since we remain concerned about the Argentine government's recent behaviour towards the Falkland Islanders, it is right and proper that their political representatives are involved in the part of the meeting that concerns them.
"We continue to make that clear to the Argentine government in diplomatic exchanges and the Foreign Secretary's offer of a meeting on these terms still stands."
The Falklands Islands parliament tonight wrote to Mr Timerman warning "no amount of harassment and intimidation" would change their minds that they did not want to be ruled from Buenos Aires.

Russian artist Salavat Fidai creates miniscule sculptures with a ubiquitous yet unusual material – graphite pencils. Their tips are fashioned into figures of pop culture like Yoda, Bart Simpson, Batman, and many more. The amount of detail that Fidai achieves is impressive considering the scale of these figures. Eyes, feathers, and the draping in Yoda's robe is all expressed through angular carving. Considering how dark the graphite is and all of the characters' tiny features, Fidai might've used a softer lead for his work. A pencil in the "B" would probably be easier to cut and form.
It's possible to buy one of Fidai's creations. He has them for sale in his Etsy shop. In addition to these unconventional sculptures, the artist also sells paintings on pumpkin seeds. (Via Demilked)

| Drug Approvals: Circumstances under which an active ingredient may be simultaneously marketed in both a prescription drug product and an over-the-counter drug product
|FDA Comment Number :
|Submitter :
|Ms. Diane Lamotte
|Date & Time:
|09/20/2005 02:09:21
|Organization :
|University of California Santa Cruz
|Category :
|Health Professional
|Issue Areas/Comments
| A. Should FDA initiate a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of section 503(b) of the action regarding when an active ingredient can be simultaneously marketed in both prescription drug product and an OTC drug product?
| Yes, I believe a rulemaking is in order. It doesn't seem too different from a medication being OTC in one case and not being OTC when combined with something else - especially when that something else is also OTC. Note Guaifenesin - long acting vs short, with or without a decongestant. Patients ask us why these items are prescription but can be bought separately OTC when combined.
|B. Is there significant confusion regarding FDA's interpretation of section 503(b) of the act?
| I believe that health professionals and consumers expect the FDA to make a decision. Also they expect that the FDA can make any decision - and we will of course comply, whatever it is - even if it is novel.
|C. If so, would a rulemaking on this issue help dispet that confusion?
|Yes, just give us the rulemakeing.
| A. If FDA limited sale of an OTC product to a particular subpopulation, e.g., by making the product available to the subpopulation by prescription only, would FDA be able to enforce such a limitation as a matter of law?
| I believe that the FDA can enforce whatever it wants or needs to. Pharmacies currently comply with a multitude of regulations and policies. I manage a small pharmacy at a student health clinic and have no space for OTC self selection (or payment). Therefore, as a matter of policy, we pharmacists put OTC's into our Rx computer system and house them inside our pharmacy - so that the patient has to request the OTC item. We have personalized records on everyone regarding Rx and OTC medications. This is great for medication review and counseling.
Additionally, I have practiced pharmacy in 3 different states. The pharmacists comply with both federal and state regs. The state regs change from state to state and we keep the records as required - logs for needles and syringes - C-V cough medicines can be signed out in some states - whatever the ruling, we'll comply.
|B. If it could, would it be able to do so as practical matter and, if so, how?
| I visited Ontario, Canada and saw that they had a form to fill out and keep regarding EC. Of course, Canada already has that third class of "OTC, but limited and behind the counter", where patients must request the medication. We have a similar system in California, where pharmacists can prescribe and dispense EC. This works very well - if you have enough counseling space in your pharmacy.
Whatever you decide will be what is complied with. How about checking ID like for alcohol purchasing, or accepting implied truth of asking for the patient's birthday and believing them.
Obvoiusly, if patients over 16 years of age can get it OTC, then it will be easy to acquire and anyone old enough can get it and give it to whomever they choose.
| A. Assuming it is legal to market the same active ingredient in both a prescription and OTC product, may the different products be legally sold in the same package?
| I think it is perfectly fine to use the same packaging. The patient will benefit from the best packaging whether they are 15 or 35. Also, the packaging is the same for C-V cough medicines that are prescription in some states but behind the counter in other states, where patients sign a special book.
|B. If the two products may be lawfully sold in a single package, under what circumstances would it be inappropriate to do so?
|Don't know of any...
| It seems to me like the United States is behind the eight ball on this one. Many other developed countries have EC OTC - there is precidence elsewhere - we are not re-inventing the wheel here. I know that women have sex (what a surprise!) and either have a problem with their contraception or, the couple didn't plan ahead. The woman should not be the only responsible party here - it takes two to tango.
I help women every day avoid abortion, by providing contraception and EC. I would think that every health care provider would want to join me! I am sure you are aware of the JAMA article about access to EC that points out that promiscuity is not increased by the availability of EC. And abortion rates have been reduced since EC has been available. Our pregnancy numbers have reduced here at UC Santa Cruz when we began providing EC through the pharmacy. You can't argue with success!
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

On one hand, we seem to have a little problem with prison guards smuggling stuff in to prisoners.
On the other hand, we also occasionally have issues with public school teachers taking leave of their senses.
What is called for is some out-of-the-box thinking. This is so obvious, oh beloved State of Texas, I can't believe you didn't already think of it yourself.
Texas has lots of prison guards. Texas also has lots of teachers.
For a one-week trial period, effective immediately, all teachers will report to the prison nearest you for guard duty. Meanwhile, all prison guards will report to your nearest public school – you'll be teaching classes.
I'm guessing it could be a win-win for both education and public safety. It's also possible that neither the guards nor the teachers would notice a substantial difference.
I should bill you people for this stuff.

As federal agencies struggle with social media policies that can facilitate a flow of information without tarnishing an agency's public image, a blogger from the health care industry offers 12 magic words that might do the trick. They even rhyme, creating an aid to memorization.
Dr. Farris Timimi, medical director for the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media, proposed the 12-word social media policy in a blog post on April 5. It might help feds because, like agencies, health care organizations deal with sensitive information, rules regarding disclosure of information and a need to protect their reputations.
The 12 words are:
Don't lie, don't pry,
Don't cheat, can't delete,
Don't steal, don't reveal.
To read Dr. Timimi's more detailed explanation of what these six two-word directives entail, click here to read his blog.

Hey, do you remember 25 years ago?
It was 1987. Ronald Reagan was president, just halfway through his second term. Nobody had ever heard of the Internet, a smart phone or an "app." Want to take some music on your jog? Load up the Sony Discman with a CD and hit the trail. That'll keep you entertained for 45 minutes or so.
Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., a specialized newspaper called Federal Computer Week launched, bringing federal managers and contractors news about the technology world and how it was changing.
And oh, how it changed. That era seems quaint today, even though many of us are old enough to remember it fondly. Here at Federal Computer Week — still going strong all these years later — we're preparing a special issue next month to trace the history of federal IT during those years.
So we're asking you to share your memories — fond or not — of the past quarter-century. What do you see as the important trends, milestones or turning points? What regulations helped move things along — or contributed to holding things back? What technologies do you miss?
Share any thoughts you have about the era in the comments here.

Who have been the pivotal leaders of the federal IT community in the last 25 years?
As part of an upcoming special issue, Federal Computer Week, which hits the quarter-century mark this year, is looking at the people, policies and technologies that have had a formative influence on federal IT.
Formative is the key term. In flipping through issues from the early years of FCW, we have come across a lot of story lines that were big news at the time but did little to shape future policies or programs. How many stories did we write about Desktop IV protests? And the Clipper chip? But wait: One might argue that the Clipper chip was important to later debates about technology, privacy and law enforcement... You see the difficulty.
Assessing the legacy of individuals is even more challenging. While policies and technologies often remain influential for long periods of time, morphing in response to the changing environment, the accomplishments of IT leaders are often forgotten after they leave the scene and others step onto the stage.
Our goal is to identify the five, or perhaps ten, individuals whose fingerprints can still be discerned today, even if the current generation of leadership is unfamiliar with their names.
We've created a short list of people that seem to fit the bill. We'd like to hear what you think. How do you rate these individuals? Who doesn't belong on the list? And who is missing? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
* Rep. Jack Brooks. The Brooks Act, the Competition in Contracting Act and the paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 were seminal pieces of legislation that still influence federal IT and acquisition policy, even though they have been superseded.
* Lynn McNulty. One of the early advocates for information security.
* Steve Kelman. During his tenure as head of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, Kelman was a relentless advocate for innovation in acquisition, helping agencies learn new ways to leverage their buying power.
* Colleen Preston. First as counsel for the House Armed Services Committee and later as deputy under secretary of defense for acquisition reform, Preston took on the herculean task of revamping a defense acquisition process that was woefully ineffective and amazingly resistant to change. She made it happen.
* Paul A. Strassmann. During his time as director of defense information, Strassmann helped to create a new culture at the Pentagon, convincing DOD leaders up and down ranks to see information technology as a strategic management resource.
* Adm. Arthur Cebrowski. Cebrowski crystallized the concept of network-centric warfare, a concept that continues to shape the Pentagon's IT strategy, even if it the term has fallen out of favor and the technology has gone beyond what Cebrowski could have imagined.
* Dendy Young. A dark horse, perhaps. But it might be argued that during his tenure at Falcon Microsystems and then GTSI during the mid-1990s, Young served as the crucial middleman between federal agencies, who were eager to take advantage of a new generation of commercial software and hardware, and IT vendors who were not ready to invest their own efforts in the federal market.
* John Koskinen. Koskinen was the Clinton administration's point person on Y2K, which consumed a lot of the federal government's time and money during a four-year stretch. The question is: Did it matter in the long run?
* Rep. Tom Davis. At a time when a lot of congressional leaders were resolutely clueless about technology, Davis recognized that IT was an essential component of government operations.
* Frank P. Pugliese Jr. Pugliese oversaw the rapid expansion of the GSA Schedule contracts, fueled in part by the addition of IT services, which gave agencies a new way to jumpstart projects. He also helped make the Federal Supply Service a sustainable operation.
* David Brailer. Brailer, the first national health IT coordinator, was the evangelist who through his personal vision and charisma spread awareness of health IT outside the clinical realm and into such fields as public health, health reform and population health studies.

HMC Offers One Setup Machining
Related Topics:
The Millac-800VH by Okuma is a five-axis HMC that offers production of complex, multi-face parts in one setup to improve accuracy and reduce overall cycle time. The box-type bed design and wide rectangular ways provide rigidity while large, pre-tensioned ballscrews with rigid supports ensure positioning accuracy. The spindle can be positioned to any angle within its 150-degree range, which reduces cutting time and extends tool life by allowing the use of a standard end mill or face mill rather than a ball end mill. The geared headstock pivots every 0.001 degree and positions with curvic coupling every 5 degrees to provide access to critical part surfaces. The X-, Y- and Z-travel is 40.16", with a rapid traverse rate of 1,181-ipm per axis. The company employs a cam unit to provide high speed and high durability for the HMC series. The twin-arm ATC and sequential address magazine are designed for easy access. Powered with the THINC-OSP control, the HMC has 40 GB of plug-and-play capability and Ethernet connectivity to run Windows-based software at the machine and/or from a remote location.

But sandboxing is a Band-Aid approach: It separates the user experience as well, so you have to check multiple calendars, contacts lists, and email inboxes -- a surefire way to double-book yourself. But it's the fallback that IT and users alike can count on to separate business and personal.
Cloudsourcing. All the major mobile OSes -- now that BlackBerry OS 6 includes a WebKit-based browser -- can run apps from the cloud, whether public or private. So businesses can provision Web-based apps whose data never resides on the mobile device. It's a perfectly sensible way for businesses ilarge and small to provision apps across devices, especially as wireless broadband becomes nearly uniiversally available (it's even in aircraft now). But it becomes awkward for mainstay tasks such as email and calendars for the same reason as sandboxing: Users have to jump back and forth between isolated views of calendars and so on that are better seen as a whole. Still, it's an option.
As HTML5 adds more capabilities, including local storage and support for geolocation and other mobile sensors, such Web apps could become more popular, though the notion of local storage raises once again the issue of how to secure the corporate data. IT may have to create local applets to do so, says Tom Goguen, vice president of enterprise product development at RIM; he notes that the BlackBerry developer environment offers a widgets capability that can be used for such management.
Thin clients. One of the most popular iOS apps in the Apple App Store's Business category is consistently Citrix Systems' Citrix Receiver app, which lets you run Windows apps from an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. (It's available for Android and BlackBerry as well.) Just like desktop thin clients, the mobile thin client provides a pane of glass to a Windows terminal services environment, so you can run apps and access files across the Internet regardless of the device you use. And IT gets the complete separation of data needed to meet the stringent security requirements at highly regulated companies, notes Chris Fleck, vice president of community and solutions development at Citrix.
On a smartphone, working with the back-end app such as Microsoft Office for Windows is a pain, as most such apps are designed for a full desktop monitor and thus require endless scrolling on a small screen, but on an iPad, I found it really easy to run Windows Office via Citrix Receiver. Citrix and competitors such as Wyse Technology have done the necessary UI conversion for their mobile clients, such as converting touch-based gestures to keyboard shortcuts and mouse movements, so server-based apps not designed for mobile UIs nonethless can work with them.
Client virtualization. This doesn't exist yet, but EMC VMware is working on it. It's more technically complex for the vendor than source tagging, but it provides an advantage for IT that source tagging cannot: It lets IT write one version of a mobile app that works (via a virtual machine) on multiple mobile OSes. The concept is more like Java than traditional desktop virtualization; I tend to think of client virtualization as allowing non-native apps and related services to run on a software abstraction layer (SAL) on top of the operating system. Thus, companies would create VMware client apps that ran on iOS, BlackBerry, WebOS, and so on through this SAL.
Perhaps VMware could deliver a more complex form of client virtualization that included a subset of Windows to also provide access to Windows apps that may have no mobile clients (workable on an iPad or slate, though painful on a smartphone), such as for emergency management of a server by an off-duty IT admin.
In VMware's view, smartphones would have multiple profiles -- a personal default one from the operating system, with additions as desired, such as one provisioned by the company. IT could manage the company profile remotely, and all data and apps are stored in or associated to that profile. Users wouldn't see these profiles as distinct operating system; the calendar would appear to be unified, for example, with perhaps different colors for different accounts as iOS and the rest already do. But under the scenes they would be separate, unified at the interface level by the virtualization software.
Also, users wouldn't launch a virtualization app as a Mac user today might launch Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion to run Windows and Windows apps. Instead, mobile OS vendors would include the client in the operating system, so it launches as needed when you open an app from your home or equivalent screen, says Srinivas Krishnamurti, senior director of mobile solutions at EMC VMware. He says today's smartphones have fast enough processors and enough memory to run such an embedded client, especially because the client virualization that VMware envisions for mobile is not the full-on OS environment à la VDI but functions more on the app level.

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier doesn't like worrying about his team's defense. The 13th-ranked Gamecocks gave him no choice after what he saw at Georgia.
Spurrier said his team had a "bad coaching day" in a 41-30 loss to the Bulldogs last weekend and now is hoping to turn that around when South Carolina (1-1, 0-1 SEC) hosts Vanderbilt (1-1, 0-1) on Saturday.
The coach didn't like his team's defense on third down or how the players were aligned. He also said some players on special teams didn't give the kind of effort the Gamecocks are used to the past two seasons.
"There's nothing embarrassing about losing as long as you play smart and play with a lot of effort. We didn't do those two things," Spurrier said Tuesday.
The problems were particularly glaring on defense. Two South Carolina defensive assistants got into a shouting match on the sidelines, linebacker coach Kirk Botkin getting into the face of defensive ends coach Deke Adams.
Spurrier talked with them and they understand that scene can't happen again.
"We hashed it out. They know we're not going to have any more of that," Spurrier said.
Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney said Georgia's game plan played away from him, something he also saw with South Carolina's opening week opponent, North Carolina.
Clowney got his first sack at Georgia, but spent most of the game trying to chase down quarterback Aaron Murray, who threw for 309 yards and four touchdowns. It's been a frustrating start for Clowney, although his season stat line of six tackles and a sack is the same as his sophomore season when he finished with 13 sacks and a school record 24 tackles for loss.
"It's hard out there trying to chase from the backside, and they just took me right out of the game," Clowney said after the contest. "They want to move me around, that's up to them."
Spurrier's got an idea about that, too.
"We need to line up on the other side (from Clowney) and put about five guys over there and anticipate they're going to run over there," the coach said. "That's what we should do but we didn't get lined up well the other day."
The Gamecocks have had strong defensive showings in recent games against Vanderbilt.
The Commodores managed only 77 yards - four on the ground - in a 21-3 defeat at South Carolina two years ago. The Gamecocks notched five sacks in last season's nail-biter in Nashville to leave with a 17-13 victory.
Vanderbilt coach James Franklin doesn't see many problems with Clowney or the Gamecocks defense, no matter what Spurrier says.
Franklin said he'll use tight ends and running backs to help slow down Clowney. He even joked that he appealed to SEC to go with Canadian Football League rules and allow the Commodores a 12th player, "an extra offensive tackle to just kind of stand over his head the whole game."
Gamecocks linebacker Sharrod Golightly said the team's problems at Georgia are correctable with hard work and repetition.
"That's what we're going to do this week," he said.
Golightly said he didn't see assistants Botkin and Adams arguing, but was confident it has not affected the team's unity or focus going forward.
Tailback Mike Davis, who rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown against the Bulldogs, said players on all sides of the ball were hurting and want to come out strongly against Vanderbilt.
"We're all looking at it as a statement game. Everyone's angry and we're looking to take it out on somebody," Davis said. "No one's chill, no one's laid back, no one's laughing about it."
Spurrier found deficiencies in other areas as well last week.
He said the Gamecocks were not aligned properly when Georgia pulled off an onside kick in the first half that led to a field goal. Quarterback Connor Shaw still struggles at times in getting the ball off for a downfield pass, choosing to run when there are open receivers, Spurrier said.
"We didn't look very good. We're going to try to get our guys lined up in the right place and let them go play," Spurrier said. "See if we can play a lot better."
Vanderbilt bounced back from a season-opening 39-35 home loss to Mississippi by beating FCS program Austin Peay 38-3 in Nashville last Saturday.
Austyn Carta-Samuels ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, and Jordan Matthews had six catches for 111 yards after posting a career-high 178 receiving yards against Ole Miss.
The senior has caught a TD pass in his last seven games, and Vanderbilt has scored at least 35 points in its past five contests.
The Commodores won their final four road games last season after dropping 14 of 16 away from home.
"The biggest thing is that the margin for error is a lot smaller," Matthews said. "On the road in the SEC you are in hostile environments, places you aren't used to playing so that makes it tough."
Matthews had eight catches for 147 yards and a TD last season against the Gamecocks.
"I know once we step onto that field that we have a group of guys that have been together for so long that we always feel like we can pull out a win," Matthews said. "I have more confidence with this team than I've ever had with teams past and I think that will help us in this game and games going forward."

Back in November 2009 I was working on a project to port Scribd.com code base to Rails 2.2 and noticed that some old plugins we were using in 2.1 were abandoned by their authors. Some of them were just removed from the code base, but one needed a replacement – that was an old plugin called acts_as_readonlyable that helped us to distribute our queries among a cluster of MySQL slaves. There were some alternatives but we didn't like them for one or another reasons so we've decided to go with creating our own ActiveRecord plugin, that would help us scale our databases out. That's the story behind the first release of DbCharmer.

Summer is the time to wear bright lip colors, but we don't have to stick to the usual watermelon pinks and pretty peach glosses. Orange and coral have been big this year. Eschewing the scary shades of the 1980s, today's formulas are sheer and more wearable, instead of opaque and bold.
Two of my favorites:
Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Papaya
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti
Both are great for my tanned skin. Papaya is a little too sheer for my liking, but I handle this by applying Smashbox Medium Lip Pencil over my whole mouth and then adding a layer of Papaya gloss.
I want to try NYX Lip Cream in San Paulo, but the Cherry Culture website is sold out of that shade 😦 I have already added it to my wish list, so they will inform me when they restock.
How about you? Have you taken to the orange/coral trend this summer? If not, what are your fave go-to summer lip colors?

Daily Maximum Power Output – One SUNRNR, Two Panels, 6 hours moderate sunshine each day
These charts show examples of using the full power output capability using the terminal block of the inverter while saving enough power to remain sustainable (each day similar to Day 1). In the first one, usage is spread throughout the day like a residential well pump providing water at varying intervals, especially in the morning. At this rate, even a small 10 gpm pump could provide 240 gallons of water. The second chart applies to an application where full output power would use all the available (and still be sustainable) stored power over a period of 25 minutes once a day.

West Mifflin keys in on neutralizing Belle Vernon's Johnson
When West Mifflin coach Ray Braszo looked at the schedule for this week and saw his team was playing at Belle Vernon, he gave his players some advice.
"I told our kids not to say anything to get them mad," Braszo said. "Especially the big guy."
That would be 6-foot-6, 290-pound senior two-way lineman Dorian Johnson. The Titans would like nothing better than to have Johnson in a mellow mood when the teams meet at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Jim Weir Stadium.
Johnson had verballed to Penn State but since has opted out of his commitment because of NCAA sanctions handed down after the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Johnson is one of the most highly prized FBS line prospects in the WPIAL and will play in the annual Under Armour All-America Game at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., on Jan. 4.
"Guys like Dorian don't come around that often, and he's really elevated his game this year," Belle Vernon coach Aaron Krepps said. "He's playing much more physical and consistent, and it's very noticeable because he's jumping off film at you, and that's what we need out of him. We need him to be that type of player."
It isn't like this is the first time West Mifflin has seen Johnson. The Titans have had to deal with him throughout his developmental phase and into last season, when he came into his own. But the Leopards haven't had the kind of success they would have liked with such an imposing force up front: They are 1-2 in the past three years against West Mifflin, including a 27-0 loss in 2011.
West Mifflin has a plan to neutralize Johnson, as 6-foot-1, 175-pound senior linebacker Marcus Martin and 6-foot-1 260-pound senior lineman Jimmy Popa will double-team him in an effort to open gaps for linebackers to attack Belle Vernon running back Cory Urlacher.
"Our kids have a lot of pride, and they are starters and they know it's going to be a tough task," Braszo said. "We played them last year, and they know what to expect from him, and obviously he's a little bigger and stronger, but they know what to expect, and we'll do the best we can with him."

Content We Love: Travelocity's Photo Adventure
There is something special about traveling. New places. New food. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that impact you. For me, the beauty is having a camera strapped and ready in my hand. Vacations require photos!
Travelocity's New Brand Campaign Urges Consumers To 'Go & Smell the Roses'
When I saw Travelocity's new campaign, I was instantly wanting to book a vacation. On the release, Travelocity takes its iconic Roaming Gnome to great heights by having an adventure and capturing it! Laid before my eyes were beautiful images of foreign lands to go hand-in-hand with the message.
Within this release, the different adventures, travels, and trips are not only outlined with an enthused tone throughout, but showcase the travel options with unique photos and a video.
- Would you buy a house without first seeing it?
- Would you book a vacation without first scoping out the area?
Images are important!
So what does this mean for press releases?
When telling your story (via a press release), it is imperative to show your audience the full story so they can understand. And given the point that "pictures are worth 1,000 words," adding images and video will instantly attract viewers. We are visual people in a visual world.
The icing of the touring cake is the hashtag #GoSmellTheRoses which transports the campaign to social media channels. Not only can you view the video on the release, but you can also see the YouTube channel which hosts a video of the Roaming Gnome in each destination mentioned!
Including your content on multiple channels (and connecting them) presents your message on a wider platform. This introduces your message to an ever bigger audience. It is like learning a greeting in a new language.
Guten Tag, Social Media!
Thank you to Travelocity for taking us places with your multimedia adventures!

Yes, the IJ MRCA is just the most recent fellow who was ancestral to both I
and J. Certainly his ancestors were also ancestral to I and J. IJ began
after F as you say. But how much after is more difficult to work out. I
can find the MRCA of J clades or I clades with the very small F clade found
in European databases today. And that gives me one estimate. It suggests
IJ was squeezed somewhat between previous node and terminal node, but the
confidence intervals on these estimates are pretty big. F survives in
Europe; IJ so far has not shown up.

Singer Morrissey has blasted Britain's royal family ahead of Prince William's wedding later this week, insisting he won't be watching the event.
Prince William is set to wed Kate Middleton on Friday and the impending nuptials have been met with excitement from stars including Helen Mirren and Snoop Dogg, while David Beckham and Victoria Adams will be among those in attendance.
But the former The Smiths rocker, Morrissey, who is famously anti-royal, admits he can't understand the hysteria surrounding the marriage.
He tells BBC 5Live, "Why would I watch the wedding? Why would I watch it? I couldn't take any of that seriously. I don't think the so-called royal family speak for England now and I don't think England needs them. I do seriously believe that they are benefit scroungers and nothing else. I don't believe they serve any purpose whatsoever."
"The press reports from Buckingham Palace tell you that people love them, but go out now and speak to people on the street and they will laugh at you. They really will."

I bought this armoire unfinished from Sears in 1989. During the mid to late 80's I was heavily into country decor. I never liked the goose and duck look, however I did like mauve and Williamsburg blue. My living room had floral Bishop sleeve curtains in shades of mauve, cream and Williamsburg blue with lace panels in between and matching floral slipcovers,(whew that's a lot of flowers).Those colors led me to believe it was a good idea to assault the armoire with a mauve pickling stain! What was I thinking? Then I decided on a whim one day to paint it brown, I hated it right away and halfway through aborted that mission, so it sat like that for years!
This is what I started with, WARNING!!! it's atrocious.
See I told you it was baaaaad. To get the ugly out of your mind here's another after shot.
|please forgive the ugly wall and unfinished baseboards we are prepping to paint and put in new floors
I bought a can of flat white paint and added about 1/4 cup of whiting. That thickened the paint. The idea was to give it a chalky texture, like that famous paint,you know the one that's not in my budget LOL, then I added black pigment to the paint until I got the shade of grey of wanted.
My husband cut crown molding for me and we attached it to the top to give the armoire a little more presence. Then I painted it with my homemade concoction. I used a cheapo paint brush and slap dashed the paint on to give it variation in texture and color. After I painted it I put a coat of clear wax on and while the wax was still wet, I applied another coat of wax that I tinted white with one part pigment to five parts wax. I wiped off the excess wax and after it dried I applied another coat of clear wax and after the wax dried I buffed it lightly.
The white wax softened the gray and it has an aged and sort of whitewashed appearance. This was my first time trying this technique and I'm pretty happy with the results. If you wanted too you could distress it further but I elected to keep it this way, I wanted it simple and just softly worn.
This will be going in my bedroom, another huge undertaking. Thanks for looking. I'll be joining these great parties this week,

Overreaction or not, the threat from al-Qaida remains very real
With no successful foreign attack on the United States since 9/11, and repeated assurances that al-Qaida is splintered and its ability to commit a major attack diminished, the suggestion of closer relations between terror leaders in Pakistan and Yemen is disturbing. It is also a timely reminder of the undiminished appetite of radicals to inflict pain and death on Americans.
The implication of closer ties flows from the recent closure of American embassies in the Middle East and Africa and the travel warning issued to Americans. It was based on intercepted communications between Osama bin Laden's successor, Ayman al-Zawahri, and Nasir al-Wuhayshi, the leader of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. Those communications included an order by al-Zawahiri to launch an attack.
Some critics contend the Obama administration overreacted to the threat because of the criticism it took following the attack last year in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. Others say the closure of embassies and travel warning were a ruse that was meant to snuff out criticism of the National Security Agency's program of tracking email addresses and telephone numbers.
It is certainly possible that the administration overreacted, though in fairness, it would have been vilified if it hadn't acted and another attack occurred. There are dangers to overreacting, including a loss of stature and encouragement to terrorists. But there is a worse price for failing to act when information is available.
As to the canard that the administration was simply seeking to boster its surveillance program, enough members of Congress from both parties have endorsed the administration's action to downplay the criticism.
That doesn't mean the surveillance programs aren't troubling. But, if you believe the responsible sources, the threats to the country are there.
The question is whether they are growing. Closer ties between the Pakistan and Yemen al-Qaida organizations would certainly suggest that possibility, especially given that al-Wuhayshi's growing stature may lead a loose group of terror cells to give more attention to planning attacks in the West.
There is no going back. Even 12 years after the 9/11 attacks, the nation and its leaders have to remain vigilant. That may cause occasional overreactions – or not – and that vigilance infrastructure requires intelligent oversight, but we already know what can happen when we don't pay attention to terrorists bent on achieving their goals.

Environment Canterbury Bill Passes Second Reading
Hon Chris Tremain
Minister of Local Government
13 February 2013
Media Statement
Environment Canterbury Bill Passes Second Reading
The Environment Canterbury (Temporary Commissioners and Improved Water Management) Amendment Bill, which extends commissioner governance of Environment Canterbury until the 2016 local government elections, has passed its second reading in Parliament.
Local Government Minister Chris Tremain says the Commissioners' impressive record to date includes:
• Receipt of eight out of ten Zone Implementation Programmes under the Canterbury Water Management Strategy;
• Successful applications to the Fresh Start for Fresh Water Clean-Up Fund for Lake Ellesmere and the Wainono Lagoon;
• A massive increase in consent processing timeframe compliance, up from 28 per cent in 2008 to 93 per cent.
"However, the job is not done yet and it is vital that the Commissioners can complete their turnaround of the situation in Canterbury," says Mr Tremain.
"A number of critical initiatives are still in progress. The second generation Land and Water Regional Plan and other plans will not be adopted by late 2013. Nor will the Canterbury Water Management Strategy be fully implemented. These initiatives are critical for freshwater decision making, and unlocking Canterbury's economic potential.
"In addition, the impact of the Canterbury earthquakes has reinforced the need for a consistent, competent approach to infrastructure and recovery.
"I acknowledge the concerns raised by many submitters to the Select Committee regarding the postponement of elections until 2016. This decision was not taken lightly. The Government's clear intention is to transition the regional governance of Canterbury back to elections by 2016, with a review in March 2014.
"This Bill is about providing Canterbury with stable and effective governance. In order for the region to prosper, we must allow the Commissioners to continue their vital role."

A pedestrian killed after being struck by a lorry outside Balham Station two weeks ago has been named.
Somalian national Osman Awees, 34, was killed instantly after being struck by the heavy goods vehicle in Balham High Road just after 4pm on January 17.
An inquest for Mr Awees, from Abercain Road in Streatham, was held on January 21 at Westminster Coroners Court.
A post-mortem examination prior to the inquest gave the cause of death as multiple injuries.
The incident was witnessed by a number of other pedestrian, some of whom required treatment for shock.
The lorry driver stopped at the scene, but no arrests have been made.

Thanks, Sarah, for mentioning my Writer's Digest piece about women authors and beauty standards. As usual with such articles, I got way more feedback from the queries I sent out than I could cram into the story, so here's a few extra anecdotes—and, despite the wild headline, totally SFW photographs—to further entertain you.
"I've never been pressured to get a makeover, being a total makeup queen myself," says Lauren Henderson. "But publishers have certainly laid out money to get me the most flattering photo possible, and they are very aware of which of their authors look like a moose (to use a English phrase) and which of them are 'TV friendly' or 'mediagenic,' two of the main euphemisms for 'attractive and photographs well.'" The picture at right was actually taken for a friend's portfolio of photos of people in their favorite article of clothing, but when the UK publisher of Jane Austen's Guide to Dating wanted a new publicity snap, she sent it in on a lark. "Nothing less appropriate, right? They used it everywhere and were over the moon about it. Looking sexy absolutely trumped the fact that I had written a sober, hopefully intelligent dating guide—and they were probably right, as regards sales. We'd be naive not to acknowledge that sex sells."
Ayun Halliday's author photo for No Touch Monkey!: And Other Travel Lessons Learned Too Late also came about through an effort to help a photographer friend. "She needed to flesh out her photography portfolio in hope of attracting paying customers to sit for 'sensuous portraits,'" Halliday recalls, "so I agreed to be a naked guinea pig in return for prints. It was kind of shocking to see what time had done to the old bod, but there was this one winning head shot mixed into the batch that made me feel like, 'Thank god someone had a camera, because I'll never look that good again.' The photo ended up on her book jacket, and "I had to write a disclaimer on my website, acknowledging that I was not in real life this over-the-top glam," she quips. Fans who've seen the more recent pictures at Halliday's official website might beg to differ, though!
(In the interest of fairness, if you're a male author with a tasteful nude and an entertaining story behind it, we're more than happy to provide equal time. I emphasize the word tasteful, you understand.)

Walcot's boxing twins Kieran and Jordan O'Donoghue get the chance to perform in front of their home crowd on Friday when the Swindon club host their first event of the season, writes DAVE VEYSEY.
The talented 14-year-olds have already achieved much during their fledgling careers.
Kieran has reached the semi-finals of the national schoolboy championships for the past two seasons, and is rated in the top four in the country for his age and weight.
He encounters Jake Spooner of Brentwood ABC.
Whilst Jordan narrowly lost on points in last season's national schoolgirl final, and She faces Abbey Bates of Burslem. Dad Jason is a Walcot coach and he can't wait for the action to start.
He said: "Kieran and Jordan meet tough opponents on Friday so it should be a good test for both.
"I am very proud of what my two have achieved so far, but I feel there is more to come from both of them."
All together there will be around 16 contests on Friday at the Supermarine Sports and Social Club.
As well as the O'Donoghues, Walcot also hope to have their national schoolboy champions Patrick McDonagh and Said Eltuyev on the bill.
Tickets are £10 at the door which opens at 7pm, with the actions starting at 8pm.

Olive Pierce was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1925. Since her father had a secure job as a banker, her family's lifestyle was not much changed by the Depression. However, she was profoundly affected by driving through the Dustbowl in the early thirties and seeing families who had lost everything moving west in trucks. She was educated at Vassar College, graduating in an accelerated wartime program in 1945. In 1948 she went to Poland as a secretary to a post-World War II medical mission. She returned with snapshots of Auschwitz and Warsaw in ruins and with the desire to become a photographer.
Pierce had as her mentors and teachers photographers Berenice Abbott and Paul Caponigro. In 1976 she received a fellowship from the Radcliffe Institute which turned her toward documentary work. In 1986 she published
The 1990 Gulf War shocked Pierce into political awareness about American foreign policy in the Middle East. To oppose the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq, she went illegally to Baghdad and Basrah in 1999 under the auspices of Voices in the Wilderness to photograph children. In 2004, after fifty years of working as a photographer, she turned her attention to an audio documentary about the death of a Maine lobster fisherman. She is presently working on a novel with a related theme.
Pierce's photographs have been shown in Massachusetts, Maine, and Chicago, Illinois. She is represented in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts; the Portland Museum of Art; and the Farnsworth Art Museum in Maine.
The Olive Pierce Photographs span the years 1960-2004 and are arranged in three series: Photographs, Manuscripts and Printed Material, and Electronic Material. Documentary black and white photographic prints taken by Olive Pierce focus on New England life and landscapes from 1960-1993, and life in Iraq in 1999 and 2003, as well as protests in the U.S. against that war. The earliest body of Pierce's work (1960-1968) features landscapes and individuals in Maine. A second group of images from Maine assembled by the photographer date from 1963 to 1993. Other prints document social and political controversy in Cambridge, Massachusetts during the early 1970s; social life in the Jefferson Park neighborhood in Cambridge during the 1970s; teenage life in a Cambridge high school in the early 1980s; everyday life of a fisherman's family in Maine from the late 1980s to the early 1990s; the daily lives of Iraqi children in 1999 during the period of UN sanctions; and protests in the U.S. against the war in Iraq. Collection also includes Pierce's

Marine dealer exemption could be on the table todayPosted by mtrocchi on June 22, 2010
The Conference Committee dealing with the financial reform bill will reportedly begin taking up various provisions and changes to the new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP) as you read this blog today (June 22). Our quest to get marine dealers excluded will be on the table.
"The National Automobile Dealers Association has done outstanding work on this issue," reports Mathew Dunn, NMMA's legislative director. "In essence, the House has included in its 'offer' (the basis for negotiations with the Senate conferees) our sought-after expanded dealer exclusion language written by Sen. Sam Brownback. The language includes auto, marine and RV dealers."
You will recall the new BCFP will have extremely broad authority to regulate almost all "financial products." Because that will include dealer-assisted financing, marine dealers will be subject to onerous new reporting, accounting and other regulatory requirements as if they were banks. This, in spite of the fact that boat dealers don't originate loans and the banks that do will be fully regulated anyway. Accordingly, it makes sense to exclude product dealers because no added consumer protections will be realized and dealers will be faced with unnecessary costs, reports and requirements.
The action needed now is to contact the Senate conferees and urge them to accept the expanded dealer exclusion language that the House is offering. Generally, Republican Senators are in support of the dealer exclusion. But as you'll see from the list of Senate conferees below, Democrat senators either voted against or didn't vote two weeks ago on Brownback's "motion to instruct":
DEMOCRATS: Dodd (Conn.) – voted NO on Brownback motion (ph 202/224-2823); Johnson (S.D.) – voted NO (ph 202/224-5842); Reed (R.I.) – voted NO (ph 202/224-4642); Leahy (Vt.) – voted NO (ph 202/224-4242); Schumer (N.Y.) – DID NOT VOTE (ph 202/224-6542); Lincoln (Ark.) – DID NOT VOTE (ph 202/224-4843); Harkin (Iowa) — DID NOT VOTE (ph 202/224-3254).
REPUBLICANS: Shelby (Ala.) – voted YES on the Brownback motion (ph 202/224-5744); Corker (Tenn.) – voted YES (ph 202/224-3344); Crapo (Idaho) –voted YES (ph 202/224-6142); Gregg (N.H.) –voted YES (202/224-3324); Chambliss (Ga.) –DID NOT VOTE (ph 202/224-3521).
Bottom line: It's crunch time on this issue. If any of these are your Senators, call them today and ask them to accept the expanded dealer exclusion language offered by the House. Even if your Senator is one of the Republicans, calling them will reinforce the fact that this issue is important to you as a boat dealer.
Even if your Senator is not a conferee, calling your Senator and asking him or her to urge their colleagues who are conferees to accept the House offer could push things over the top for dealers.

Toilets were in a state. I was bunched with some permanent residents who spun me yarns of uncomfortable stories. On the positive, the location isnt bad. But this place was a bit shabby, the 'lounge' was basically a couch in the passage. Pay the extra 20-50 bucks and rather stay somewhere else...

dimangmic Review
I first saw this movie by coincidence on cable. I had never heard of it before. It was very entertaining and many parts kept you guessing as to what was really the intentions of the main character played by Kirk Douglas. Kirk Douglas plays an eccentric millionaire trying to decide who should inherit his money and estate while he is still living because he fears he is losing his memory. His relatives are all phony and he knows it. Michael Fox plays his estranged nephew who is summoned by the other relatives to convince the old man to give his estate to them,however, the old guy decides to give it to the nephew and then the sparks really begin to fly. All the members of my family enjoyed this movie so much they all bought a copy for themselves. I highly recommend it!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Exact

Tim Cigelske was always drawn to quirky T-shirts yet frustrated by their prices. "I got really sick of paying $25 for a T-shirt that's going to be entertaining for about a week because it's got a certain slogan on it," he explains. "It's kind of a knee-jerk reaction, that you need a new T-shirt — a new T-shirt."
Teecycle — the virtual company that Cigelske runs with his wife, Jess, from their Whitefish Bay, Wisc., home — resells gently used T-shirts for children, men, and women for about $7 each (plus $3 shipping). Some might even qualify as collectables, such as a vintage Budweiser shirt and a summer 1997 Phish tour tee. Sourced from rummage sales, friends, and thrift stores, $1 of each sale is donated to River Revitalization Foundation. Teecycle's slogan: "Change your shirt, change the world."
Initially, Tim photographed each shirt artfully arranged on the floor. Not satisfied with the results, he asked Jess to model. Their friends soon donned the T-shirts, too, posing in parks, along Lake Michigan, and in other natural settings. "I didn't want this to be like Craigslist or eBay. I wanted it to have personality – the more entertaining, the more visual," says Tim, whose day job is in marketing and communications at Marquette University in Milwaukee.
With no startup capital or outside financial support, social media allowed the couple to get Teecycle off the ground. After a year of hosting a self-designed site on Blogspot.com, and then WordPress.com, iWeb, and SquareSpace.com, Tim decided it was time to amp up the marketing by tapping into social media.
In 2008, he joined Twitter. At first, he was unsure how the site worked, but he quickly figured out its potential. Intent on spreading the word about Teecycle through tweets, Tim typed in "T-shirts" in the search box on Twitter.com. Soon he was following Tcritic.com's Twitter feed and asked if a blog post about Teecycle was of interest. (It was.) "I didn't even know a T-shirt blog existed before I joined Twitter," Tim says. "I instantly started getting orders from London, Atlanta, New York City – worldwide." Teecycle also has a presence on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Flickr.
Two cash awards have also provided a boost. In 2009, PepsiCo awarded Teecycle a $4,500 grant in its "What's Your Pitch" contest, in which entrepreneurs had 60 seconds to pitch the company behind Pepsi soft drinks, Frito-Lay, and Quaker Oats. In early 2010, Teecycle won the Best Social Venture track in Marquette University's 2010 Business Plan Competition. Prize money allowed Teecycle to hire a professional web designer and give the site a fresh look.
"Social media has helped me reach a worldwide audience on a shoestring budget. Making connections on places like Twitter has directly led me to sales as far away as Denmark and Australia — and the best part is it's free," says Tim.
Tim says he also listens to dozens of business books each year via Audible.com while jogging and driving. He's also working toward an MBA degree at Marquette. He says he'd like to pursue partnerships with companies that have cast-off tees to unload, perhaps as a result of misprints or unclaimed orders. Teecycle would re-release these tees with a different logo. But first, he'll need to acquire warehouse space, which presents a new challenge — but more room to grow.

Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Pilot/Phase II Study of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Brain Metastases Using 3Tesla MRI and Rational Dose Selection
- Rate of Local Control Over time (RECIST Criteria) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
Response or progression of the radiated lesion will be measured by change in the largest unidimensional measurement.
Additionally, response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee
Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in the RECIST criteria. Local control is defined as a lack of progressive disease, as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria of a 20% increase in the longest diameter for a target lesion.
If the lesion grows beyond 20% of the longest diameter of the pre-treatment, but subsequently regresses without further lesion-targeted radiotherapy, it will be assumed that the lesion was treatment related radiation necrosis in analysis
|Study Start Date:
|November 2013
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|February 2018
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|February 2018 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
"Rational dose selection" is a concept wherein doses used for stereotactic radiosurgery is selected based on tumor volume, prior irradiation with whole brain radiotherapy, and the relative radioresistance of the tumor (radioresistant = melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, sarcoma; radiosensitive = breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal cancers).
Dose may be altered for lesions in the brainstem, adjacent to the optic nerve, optic chiasm, or motor cortex, or other clinical scenarios as defined by the treating physician. Reason for dose alteration will be recorded at the time of treatment.
For patients with 10+ brain metastases with multimorbidity or difficulty in tolerating a supine position, doses may be modified by the treating physicians for patient comfort.
Procedure: Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. No other treatment, investigational or commercial agents or therapies other than those described below may be administered with the intent to treat the patient's brain metastases.
Gamma knife radiosurgery is a one day out-patient procedure. Time from initiation of treatment (premedication and placement of a stereotactic frame) until end of treatment (completion of radiation delivery and removal of stereotactic frame) ranges from 3 to 16 hours.
Detailed Description:
The aims of this study are to pilot a study to measure local control after "rational dose" selected gamma knife radiosurgery for brain metastases and to measure treatment related toxicity for rational dose selected gamma knife radiosurgery for brain metastases. In addition, the quality of life and neurocognition of patients undergoing gamma knife radiosurgery will be measured using the validated European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BN20 survey instruments. "Rational dose selection" is a concept wherein doses used for stereotactic radiosurgery is selected based on tumor volume, prior irradiation with whole brain radiotherapy, and the relative radioresistance of the tumor (radioresistant = melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, sarcoma; radiosensitive = breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal cancers).
Eligible patients will have histologically confirmed cancer and MRI evidence of metastatic disease within the brain. Patients will be eligible for the trial if intracranial radiosurgery has been recommended for treatment of brain metastases. Patients will be excluded if they have an extremely radiosensitive tumor (leukemia, lymphoma), a radiosensitivity syndrome, a resection of a brain metastasis, or cannot tolerate the MRI or placement of a stereotactic head frame. All patients must sign informed consent.
Radiation will consist of gamma knife radiosurgery delivered using doses selected based on the concept of "rational dose selection" as summarized above.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed malignancy (not leukemia or lymphoma). There must be metastatic brain disease apparent on magnetic resonance imaging which offers a medical indication for brain radiation. - Age > 18
- Karnofsky Performance Status > 70
- MRI performed within 4 weeks of trial enrollment
- Medical oncologist or consenting physician verifies that chemotherapy options exist after treatment with intracranial therapy, and that chemotherapy is planned to initiate after completion of radiation. Or, survival as estimated by the medical oncologist or enrolling physician is > 3 months.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Extremely radiosensitive tumor (lymphoma, leukemia)
- Radiosensitivity syndrome (scleroderma, dermatomyositis, other genetic syndrome that predisposes to adverse radiotherapy complications)
- Evidence of leptomeningeal dissemination
- Resection of brain metastases, otherwise untreated with radiation for those brain lesions (presenting for postoperative consolidative radiotherapy)
- Presence of a medical device (pacemaker, stent) or allergy that precludes contrast enhanced MRI
- Patient is unable to tolerate placement of a stereotactic headframe
- Pregnancy

Subject: [DNA] Do daughters inherit any paternal genetic markers of significance?
Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2002 15:05:23 -0700
References: <firstname.lastname@example.com>
I've read that the father passes along the Y-chromosomal DNA to son and
the mother passes the mitochondrial to daughter and to son (with the
son's going no further); however, is their any paternal DNA of
significance passed to the daughter?
My great-grandfather married three times and many of his female
descendants from all 3 marriages have inherited several of the same
physical traits from the paternal line--where we resemble each other in
appearance. What paternal DNA is being passed along to result in this?
Appreciate any feedback.

Karthus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build focuses on AP and 1337ness. Last few (10+) games with my team have gone really well once we got to know each other's abilities and play styles. The team basically consists of Karthus, and then random other champions (what can I say, my teammates are pretty awesome). The highest I've gotten my AP to has been 777 with Baron's buff. At this point, my Lay Waste was hitting for 700+ and my ultimate for 1,500. On my last game, I ended with 21/0/6 with my teammates close to that.


text: It is loosely known as the James Bond phone and might well make an appearance in the upcoming Skyfall movie. So it's just as well that the Sony Xperia T will launch in time for the movie's debut in UK cinemas.The latest Bond flick is doing the rounds in early October, just after the UK launch of the phone, which is now expected to be on the shelves between 27-29 September, according to a spokesperson from Expansys.However, that will be network-only, with no SIM-free models expected in the UK until the start of 2013. So if you want one, you'll have to be willing to sign a contract. The phone should be available across all the networks online, but will initially only be available from a couple of high street retailers, believed to be Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4u. Both of those retailers have deals on offer right now with O2 and Orange.As for the phone itself, it is likely to slip in at the top of Sony's range, packing a 4.6-inch screen powered by the Mobile BRAVIA engine, a 13-megapixel camera with 'Sleep-to-snap' feature to take a photo double quick (just over a second from hibernation), NFC connectivity and a dual-core chip. Sadly, the British secret service is sending Bond out with a phone running on the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android rather than Jelly Bean. Not to worry though, an update is likely to follow pretty soon.If that's not a problem, you can pre-order your slice of James Bond cool now at those two retailers.Source: TechRadar

More security at event following Boston bombings
Photos: Heightened security at Grand Prix | Grand Prix Racing - Friday | Pro/Celebrity Race Qualifying
LONG BEACH -- Scott Pape brings a certain cachet when it comes to evaluating what a typical Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach looks like.
The 50-year-old Pape, an Orange resident, has been attending the race since the late 1970s when the street circuit hosted Formula 1 racers such as Gilles Villeneuve, Alan Jones and Nelson Piquet.
So, with organizers forced to step up security due to Monday's Boston Marathon bombings, Pape took a good look around the merchandise and food booths sprawled outside the Lifestyle Expo at the Long Beach Convention Center.
He was among several veteran race fans who said they didn't notice more security than normal on Friday, the first of the 39th annual Grand Prix's three days that caps off Sunday with the IZOD IndyCar Series race.
"Maybe they're behind the scenes," said Pape.
That's probably the case, according to Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell.
This weekend, McDonnell said, "You will see an increased presence by uniformed officers and we will have undercover officers there as well, but we still need the public's help. "
Police have adopted a "See something, say something" motto for the weekend's three-day event, the city's largest of the year.
Security screeners may also more closely scrutinize items brought to the track, in particular backpacks.
"The bulk of our security plan did not change because of Boston, we modify the plan after each race to make it better each year," he said. "We feel very comfortable that this will be a safe event. "
McDonnell added that there have been no credible threats related to the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Grand Prix Association of Long Beach president and CEO Jim Michaelian said expected good weather has officials hopeful that attendance could reach typical levels of about 175,000 spectators.
"It just depends on how much walk-up we have," Michaelian said.
The high temperature on Friday was 86. Sunny skies and 80 degrees is the forecast today, according to the National Weather Service, and fog Sunday morning should give way to partly sunny weather and a mild spring high of 72.
An improving economy also has race organizers hopeful.
"That would seem to be working in our favor despite the tragedy in Boston," Michaelian said.
This year's event features seven races, including the first night racing in the Grand Prix's history when the Motegi Racing Super Drift Challenge takes to the streets Friday and Saturday.
Friday afternoon, race fans were turning out by the thousands to watch as drivers from IndyCar, Firestone Indy Lights, the Toyota Pro/Celebrity race and others took turns practicing on the track.
Alan Randle, a Santa Ana resident, prefers the first day's more relaxed atmosphere.
"The practice day is great because it's not too crowded," said Randle, 65, and a United Kingdom native.
Abraham Villalbazo of Long Beach was rained out last year when he came to the Grand Prix's first day.
"It looks more alive today. There are definitely more people," said Villabazo, 18. "And it sounds pretty amazing. "
The racing is definitely loud, with sound waves from turbocharged engines and mufflers choked by downshifts bouncing and echoing from surrounding buildings and bridges.
The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach is the longest-running major street race in North America, shifting over the years from Formula 1 to Championship Auto Racing Teams, Champ Car and in 2009, the IZOD IndyCar Series.
Pape, the race vet, has seen all the turnover, so how much has the Grand Prix changed over the decades?
"Believe it or not, not too much," said Pape. "It's sort of a beach atmosphere. I like checking out the girls and the cars. "
Grand Prix tickets are still available at gplb.com or on a toll-free ticket hotline, 888-82-SPEED (827-7333).
