Adjuvant Treatment After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: Is It Really Necessary?
Adjuvant Treatment After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: Is It Really Necessary?
Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) is a major cause of mortality. Management approaches including surgical and locoregional strategies such as transarterial chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation, ethanol injections, transarterial chemotherapy infusion, and systemic chemotherapy have proved to be disappointing. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) continues to give patients the best chance for cure, but recurrence of the disease remains a problem. Several investigators have looked into the value of adjuvant chemotherapy in HCC with or without other local neoadjuvant treatment modalities after OLT. Studies have looked at various treatment modalities, but overall results have been disappointing. No adjuvant treatment is currently advocated after OLT in HCC. This review summarizes the current data on efficacy and rationale of adjuvant treatment for HCC after OLT, as well as future prospects.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer, accounting for about 90% of primary malignant liver tumors in adults. It is the sixth most common cancer and the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide.[1] While HCC is more prevalent in Asia and Africa, its incidence has been growing in the United States and Europe, secondary to discovery of hepatitis C infection in patients who have remained asymptomatic for many years since the diagnosis.[2]
Surgical resection and orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) offer the only potentially curative treatment options. Surgical resection of HCC is usually reserved for patients with well preserved hepatic function, intact hepatic vasculature, and no evidence of portal hypertension. However since surgical resection usually leaves a diseased liver in place, patients treated with these methods have recurrence rates of 50% at 3 years and 70% at 5 years, and this complication still represents the main cause of death.[3,4] The most recent meta-analysis addressing adjuvant treatment after hepatic resection showed no benefit from either systemic or local therapy in terms of preventing recurrences.[5]
On the other hand, OLT is a more viable option for curative treatment as it addresses both the underlying liver pathology and HCC. The fairness of organ distribution among non-HCC and HCC patients continues to be a matter of debate.
Early experience with OLT in HCC was disappointing due to high recurrence rates and poor overall survival.[6] But a landmark study by Mazzaferro et al showed that patients with single tumor ≤ 5 cm, or up to three separate lesions with none larger than 3 cm, no evidence of gross vascular invasion, and no regional nodal or distant metastases, (now known as the Milan criteria) had a 4-year survival of 85%.[7] The current system allows extra MELD (Model for End-stage Liver Disease) score points in patients with HCC who are within Milan criteria. With such criteria, however, few HCC patients were eligible for OLT. Yao et al from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) tried to overcome this issue with their own expansion of the Milan criteria (Table 1). In a retrospective study, authors showed that outcomes using UCSF criteria were comparable to those based on the Milan criteria, with an overall survival of 90% and 75.2% at 1 and 5 years, respectively.[8]
More recently, Silva et al suggested different criteria (Table 1) and showed that 5-year survival and recurrence rates were also comparable to those using the Milan criteria.[9] However, these patients are still at risk for recurrence for many reasons including intraoperative dissemination of tumor caused by extensive manipulation of the native liver, undetected micrometastases prior to surgery, and acceleration of tumor growth by immunosuppression. A recent study looking at salvaged blood during surgery showed that up to 50% of salvaged samples were contaminated with tumor cells and responded to leukocyte depletion filters. This suggests a possible role in recurrence secondary to manipulation of the native liver, although this needs to be studied in more depth.[10]
There are no standard adjuvant treatments after OLT. But with the recent approval of sorafenib (Nexavar) in advanced HCC, there has been a renewed interest in adjuvant treatment for HCC. A large global study is currently underway (the Sorafenib as Adjuvant Treatment in the Prevention of Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma [STORM] trial), looking into sorafenib therapy after potentially curative treatment with liver resection or radiofrequency ablation. This review will discuss adjuvant treatment in patients with HCC who have undergone OLT and possible future directions for management in this setting.
Prognostic Factors for Disease Recurrence After OLT
Patients who meet the Milan criteria and undergo OLT tend to have a favorable outcome, as actuarial 4-year survival and recurrence-free survival rates of 85% and 92% are achieved. However, those beyond the Milan criteria can present with both intra- and extrahepatic posttransplant recurrence, accounting for reduced survival. Therefore, it is important to identify prognostic factors that can predict high risk of tumor recurrence.
Registry review of 800 HCC patients who underwent OLT showed that nodal metastasis, tumor size > 5 cm, and histologic grade (G3 and G4) were significant predictors of a decreased probability of patient survival. Recurrence-free survival was influenced by node status, bilobar spread, tumor size > 5 cm in diameter, and vascular invasion.[11] Other studies indicate that alpha-fetoprotein levels > 1,000 ng/mL, poorly differentiated histology, age ≥ 55 years, and tumor diameter > 8 cm were associated with a reduced 1-year survival of 50%.[8] A study by Kirimlioglu et al showed that vascular invasion was the strongest predictor of disease recurrence after OLT.[12] In the absence of macroscopic or large-vessel invasion, they showed that the largest tumor size, apoptosis/mitosis ratio, and number of tumors were independent predictors of disease-free survival. Since HCC is a highly angiogenic tumor, some data suggest that vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) expression was associated with poor differentiation and tumor progression.[13] Unfortunately, there are currently no effective methods to diagnose pretransplant microvascular tumor spread, despite the advances in imaging studies, and even though small studies have tried to use positron-emission tomography (PET) scan to predict tumor recurrence. In other studies, VEGF expression in HCC have been shown to correlate with shorter overall survival.[14]
A group from Pittsburg developed a molecular predictive marker using a fractional allelic imbalance (FAI) rate index. The FAI rate index is defined as the number of mutated markers divided by the total number of informative markers. This retrospective study concluded that FAI was the strongest predictor of HCC recurrence currently available, surpassing all components of the tumor-node-metastasis classification system for staging of malignant tumors, and vascular invasion.[15] A caveat about FAI, however, is that this requires liver biopsy prior to OLT.
Adjuvant Therapy After Liver Transplantation
Systemic Chemotherapy
Various chemotherapy agents have been tested in the adjuvant setting after liver transplantation. The rationale behind this approach is to eliminate micrometastasis that may be present at the time of transplant.
Doxorubicin is one of the older chemotherapy drugs that have been frequently studied. The benefit of doxorubicin has been suggested in several uncontrolled small series but with modest results. Stone et al conducted a pilot study in 20 patients with unresectable advanced-stage HCC who underwent OLT and received doxorubicin preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively.[16] A total of 17 patients (85%) had tumors > 5 cm. Actuarial survival and tumor-free survival rates were 59% and 54%, respectively, at 3 years. The authors concluded that doxorubicin given in this protocol had a favorable impact on posttransplant survival in patients with HCC. However, an updated series of 43 patients revealed a 66% 1-year survival, 52% 2-year survival, and a disappointing 37% 5-year survival, suggesting that adjuvant treatment with doxorubicin delayed recurrence but did not significantly alter overall long-term survival compared to historical controls.[17] Other small studies using perioperative doxorubicin reached similar conclusions in that the drug did not improve either survival or recurrence-free survival in patients with HCC undergoing OLT (Table 2).[18,19]
The combination of doxorubicin with other chemotherapy agents has been investigated as an adjuvant treatment after OLT, but no improvement in outcome was noted compared to single-agent doxorubicin. Olthoff at al reported a 3-year overall survival rate of 46% in a small study of 25 patients with doxorubicin, cisplatin, and fluorouracil (5-FU).[20] Bernal et al studied 43 patients with HCC who underwent OLT based on the Milan criteria. Twelve patients were considered to have a high risk for recurrence and were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin and doxorubicin monthly for up to seven cycles. Recurrences occurred in seven patients, six of whom died within the first 3 years.[21]
Newer agents are being explored to improve outcomes of patients after liver transplantation. Gemcitabine (Gemzar) was shown to have activity against HCC by Graziadei et al.[22] Hsieh et al later studied the combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin in 17 patients who did not satisfy the Milan criteria and found better 2-year disease-free survival and 3-year disease-specific survival rates of 78% and 56%, respectively, compared to controls (32% and 38%, respectively). Thirteen patients had tumors > 5 cm in diameter. Overall survival data were not reported, and follow-up was short.[23]
Intra-arterial Approaches With or Without Systemic Chemotherapy
In contrast to normal liver parenchyma, the majority of the blood supply to HCC is derived from the hepatic artery rather than the portal vein. Techniques designed to cut off the tumor's blood supply by particle embolization with or without cytotoxic chemotherapy into branches of the hepatic artery supplying tumor masses have been shown to be effective. Various methods of intra-arterial approaches include bland embolization, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with or without lipiodol (an oily contrast agent thought to promote intratumoral retention of chemotherapy), and transarterial infusion of chemotherapy. Several studies have shown promising preliminary results when combining transplant with preoperative locoregional control with or without adjuvant systemic chemotherapy in the treatment of unresectable advanced HCC. The rationale for neoadjuvant therapy of HCC is to control tumor growth during the waiting period for liver transplantation and to induce tumor necrosis, which may reduce the risk of tumor dissemination during surgery, while adjuvant systemic chemotherapy after surgery targets undetected distant metastases.
Carr et al reported the use of preoperative intra-arterial doxorubicin and cisplatin and subcutaneous alpha-interferon followed by 12 months of postoperative doxorubicin in 11 patients. Results were promising with a 1-year disease-free survival of 82%, but follow-up is too short to draw any real conclusions.[24]
• TACE Chemotherapy—A pilot study was conducted by Cherqui et al in nine patients undergoing liver transplantation who were treated in a multimodality approach consisting of preoperative TACE (using iodized oil, doxorubicin, and gelatin sponge), radiotherapy (5 Gy in one fraction immediately before surgery), and postoperative systemic chemotherapy with mitoxantrone. Seven patients had stage IVA tumors.The 3-year actuarial survival was 64%. Updated results in 14 patients revealed 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of 85%, 62% and 54%, respectively.[25] Outcome was likely worse due to advanced-stage HCC at the time of transplant.
Similarly Bismuth et al looked at 20 patients who underwent preoperative TACE and postoperative chemotherapy using 5-FU and doxorubicin, which showed 50% tumor necrosis. Long-term survival was not available (Table 2).[26] Roayaie et al evaluated 43 patients with localized unresectable HCC with tumors greater than 5 cm treated using a combined multimodality protocol that included selective TACE with mitomycin, doxorubicin, and cisplatin at the time of diagnosis, followed by liver transplantation and intra- and postoperative systemic doxorubicin.[27] TACE was repeated as often as needed every 3 months while patients were on the waiting list. Overall and recurrence-free survival at 5 years were reported to be 44% and 48%, respectively, which still falls considerably short of the 83% recurrence-free survival rate at 4 years reported by Mazaferro for patients with smaller tumors.[7] These results are relatively similar to survival rates for tumors beyond the Milan criteria, as also reported by Mazaferro's group (for patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy).[28]
TACE has some limitations. It is contraindicated in patients with severe liver failure (Child-Pugh class C), jaundice, and portal thrombosis. Because of the localized effect of TACE, it does not address potential extrahepatic disease. Major complications of TACE are uncommon but include acute liver failure, acute renal failure, encephalopathy, ascites, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and hepatic or splenic abscess.[29] There is also a concern that neoadjuvant TACE can increase serum VEGF expression, which is associated with the development of metastasis in HCC after TACE.[30]

Lil Wayne, Scammed By Bosh's Wife.
Looks like there's more to the story regarding Lil' Wayne's recent boast on Chris Bosh's wife Adrienne. Wayne allegedly told the crowd at a Houston nightclub that he'd slept with Adrienne because he was upset that he'd been banned at NBA games by Bosh's Miami Heat.
But according to GlobalGrind, Wayne and Adrienne used to have a thing back in the day that went sour after she scammed him out of money. A source tells GG that Adrienne told the rapper she had cancer and needed money for treatment, then skated after he put up the funds. The source adds that Bosh knew about his wife's shady past, but choose not to make an issue out of it.
While Adrienne has not directly commented on the allegations, she did send out a cryptic tweet stating, "Truth prevails. Today stand in your truth and ignore the chatter around and about you."
Meanwhile, the NBA is denying that they've banned Wayne from games, telling the Miami Herald that the rapper's allegations were "not true."

I really loved the tie but 79 is still a bit steep for someone who has just finished school. I have 3 questions, the third is probably the dumbest: 1) is a Barneys house line tie worth 79. I see them for 30 at the warehouse sale all the time. 2) Will it get any cheaper before the warehouse sale in september 3) is there an original manufacturer who might be selling it for cheaper? Thread Edit: I realize now that the title was misleading, as it probably made it sound like I was announcing a sale as opposed to asking a question about a sale. Sorry and thanks.

Two-thirds of U.S. cities and counties consider the environment and energy conservation a priority, but far fewer have taken steps to address those issues, a new survey reveals.
While 70% called energy conservation a "priority" or "high priority" and 62% did the same for the environment, specific plans are slower to take hold, according to the survey of 2,176 local governments by the International City/County Management Association.
"While there is near shared agreement in the desire to create more sustainable communities, putting goals into action is a larger challenge," Tad McGalliard, ICMA's director of sustainability said Thursday in releasing the findings.
Most (63%) said they had conducted energy audits of government buildings, but only 10% reported requiring new construction meet federal Energy Star or U.S. Green Building Council standards. The survey also found:
The survey, which was was sent to 8,569 local governments, was developed with input from ICMA's Center for Sustainable Communities, the Center for Urban Innovation, Arizona State University's Global Institute of Sustainability and the Alliance for Innovation.

Question: What is the dark line on my pregnant belly?

Answer:

The line on your pregnant belly is called the linea nigra, sometimes called the pregnancy line or misspelled linea negra. About 80% of pregnant women will see the linea nigra form in pregnancy, usually after the first trimester. Though it can form when you are not pregnant, even in men.

What Causes a Linea Nigra to Form in Pregnancy

This line is caused by hormones in your body increasing in pregnancy. An old wives tale includes that this only happens to the mother of boys, but I have spoken to many women with babies of both sexes, all of whom have found the linea nigra present. Given the prevalence of this pregnancy line, it would be difficult to say that 80% of women experience it when we know that about half of the pregnant women will have a baby girl. So, it is not a way to tell if you are having a boy or a girl.

Typically it runs from your pubic bone to the top of your umbilicus (belly button), but it can extend all the way to your sternum. You may see that it gets lighter as it goes up. This is not a problem. It may also be darker or lighter than others but is usually always present.

"I don't even remember when it happened, it just seemed to pop up one day," remembers one mother. "I don't remember seeing it the day before and as I was getting out of the shower, I noticed it from the bathroom mirror. I didn't know what to make of it.

Some women are disturbed by how it looks. There isn't really anything that you can do to make it go away, short of giving birth. However, doctors warn against using medications or lotions on it. Bleaching the skin is harmful and will not remove the line. If you are really concerned, please talk to your doctor or midwife. Your sensitive skin will thank you.

What Happens to the Linea Nigra After You Give Birth

It will fade after you give birth. That vast majority of them will see it fade in the first months postpartum, as the hormone levels return to a pre-pregnant state. When this happens varies slightly woman to woman. Most women aren't even paying attention to it and simply notice at some point that it is no longer there.

"I actually miss the line," says Amanda. "It seemed like a pregnancy indicator to me. I had it with all of my pregnancies and when it went away that last time, I knew I wouldn't see it again."

While the video recorded is shaky, the sight of a blinding ball of light in the distance is unmistakably clear.
"What is it?" asks a female voice from behind the camera.
"Fireball lightning," says Roman Tregubov, the man who shot the video.
"Argh it's moving away," he adds, as the luminous orb seems to glide over a field before disappearing into the woodland opposite.
Roman continues: "This is fireball lightning, it's the first time I see one in my life. It's going to move away.
"[It] is very rare, yet it can appear anywhere at all.
"I was astonished to see fireball lightning of such size - and not just that, but to catch the whole process from the beginning when it appeared until the end."
Ball lightning, while rare, lasts considerably longer than the familiar split-second flash associated with a normal lightning strike.
While the Novosibirsk State Technical University graduate offered an explanation as to what the phenomenon was, some viewers still aren't buying it.

EDITORIAL >>Vote no on Act 1
The Arkansas Family Council, whose angry agenda targets gay and lesbian people for punishment, put the proposal on the ballot. It would prevent judges and child welfare people from ever allowing an unmarried couple to adopt a child or serve as custodial parents for neglected and abused children.
Denying unmarried couples the pleasure of rearing needy children is one thing. It is questionable whether they have a constitutional right under the equal-protection clause to raise children on the same basis as married couples. But punishing children is quite another matter, and that is what Initiated Act 1 would do.
The Family Council thinks that God does not like gay people or unmarried couples and doesnt want them around children. We are not sure of Gods feelings about human sexual proclivities, but we do remember the Redeemers keen interest in the welfare of children.
Who has not by now had their fill of horrible news about children left in the states care by abusive, neglectful or absent parents? More than 3,700 are in the states custody on any given day but there are so few ready and able parents to take custody of them that only about 1,100 are in foster homes. The rest are warehoused in group homes and shuttled from one unhappy place to another. Every few months, a death or a prosecution for severe abuse is reported. Arkansas has one of the highest rates of transfer of these poor children in the country.
Initiated Act 1 would perpetuate the situation and make it even worse by rigidly restricting the ability of judges to find the best home for the children.
This all started with a foster-care board appointed by former Gov. Mike Huckabee. It adopted the Family Councils agenda of eliminating gay couples from serving as foster parents even if there was no better option or any other option at all. The Arkansas Supreme Court unanimously struck down the rule but the Department of Human Services has kept it in practice and expanded it to bar any couple that is not legally married for whatever reason until last week. Child-welfare officials, pediatricians, social workers and others pleaded with the department to end the practice so that more sorrowful children could get into caring homes. Gov. Beebe finally had enough. He let the department know that its only standard should be what is best for the children.
But if Initiated Act 1 passes, those narrow restrictions will be the law again.
Thirteen retired judges, including three former chief justices, signed a statement opposing Act 1. They had had to deal personally with the heart-rending cases of these unhappy children, for whom the chances of having a loving home are so sparse and growing ever sparser.
Here is what the judges wrote: The choices available to neglected and abused children and to the judges who must find homes for them are already tragically limited by the childrens circumstances. Instead of imposing a blanket rule that would apply to every case, the needs of these children and the best means of satisfying their needs, should be left to elected judges to decide on a case-by-case basis.
The state ought to do more for these children, but at the moment defeating Initiated Act 1, as the judges suggested, is the best we can we do for them.

George Bush, Real Man
By James Benton
You could see it in his eyes, hear it in his tone Tuesday night in the second half of his State of the Union speech: this was a man not to be trifled with, a man who would see a difficult, dirty business through to the end, and God help anyone who stood against him as he does battle against the foes of America and her ideals. If anyone had doubts about Bush's commitment to victory in the War on Terrorism, they were laid to rest Tuesday night.
Rarely in history has an American president faced as much adversity as George W. Bush has in his first two years in office. Probably only Washington, Lincoln and FDR have had as tough a time as Bush, becoming president during tumultuous, difficult times, having so much happen so quickly.
Washington had to forge a nation; Lincoln had to fight a war; FDR battled the Depression from Day 1. However, Bush has probably had the worst time of all since taking office.
For those of you keeping score at home, so far President Bush has endured:
-An incredibly close election whose outcome was delayed for over a month,
-The first attack by a foreign power on the continental United States in nearly 200 years,
-A world war which may not be won before he leaves office,
-More terrorism at home with anthrax,
-A teetering economy,
-Fierce opposition from his political opponents if he does anything more than sneeze,
-The destruction of Columbia on Saturday and the loss of seven more heroes.
And that's just the highlights of his first two years in office, with Iraq and North Korea on the horizon and God knows what else still to come.
Yet, with all this going on, two indisputable facts have surfaced about the man in the Oval Office.
First, this is a man we in middle America have always identified with and trusted. We know his word is his bond. He's not perfect, he might not always be right, but we instinctively know he makes his decisions based on what he believes is best for the American people. If America were a small town, Bill Clinton would be the used car salesman everyone but newcomers and idiots avoided; George W. Bush would be the owner of the general store who also happened to be mayor, chewing the fat with the locals around the wood stove on Saturday mornings and helping them to get things done that needed doing.
Second, this is a sincere, pious man, which is also the underlying reason for the first point. George W. Bush demonstrates a quiet yet confident faith in the Creator, which governs his everyday life and decisions. We have seen it all too often in his eyes in the past 18 months - there is real pain there, real tears when things have gone truly bad, tears shed not for himself but for those of us who are suffering emotional or physical pain. Again, if we saw America as a small town, George would be in church on Sundays and would try to close up early on Wednesdays to get to church then also. He'd be one of the first on the phone to you when a family member died, and no doubt Laura would be by soon with a covered dish and just the right words of comfort.
In short, this is a real man, and it's been too long since such a person - such a family - has graced the White House. After eight years of scandal and a me-first attitude, Bush & Company have restored many American's respect for the office of president far fast than anyone believed possible. Respect may not wipe away the tears of tragedies and war, but it's a start at helping to keep us from total despair. God only knows what we would be feeling or how much confidence we'd have that everything will turn out all right if Clinton or Gore were at the helm; the mere thought gives me nightmares.
I would say I hope George W. Bush stays the course no matter what he faces, but that would be merely stating the obvious. He will. We instinctively know this, those of us who work a real job, worried about mortgages and kids. We know this, because at heart he's one of us, a working man, doing his best for all of us.
A real man. Thank God.
To tell the truth, I don't idolize politicians. I usually don't LIKE politicians, regardless of party or policy. I wasn't sure I'd like Bush when he was elected, but I do now, for his handling of the job under some unbelieveable pressures, any one of which would make most people fold.
That's why I call him a real man today. He's done his job and kept the faith with us through some rough times.
This just might be the best description of the differences between the two that I have ever read.
One can also mention fierce political scrutiny if he watches a football game and eats a pretzel . . . .
What did he know about the pretzel and when did he know it?
God bless President Bush.
Wonderful article. If recognizing and admiring humility, passion for goodness, effective action, strong leadership, faith in our Creator, on and on and on, passes for idolizing politicians, I'm surely guilty. I'd admire those qualities in the man no matter WHAT house he lived in. I'm just ever grateful he's in the White House.
God hasn't neglected us. He gave us Dubya. Thank You, God, from the bottom of my heart.
You know, 'Jumpin Jim' may have been a blessing in disguise. After that incident, Pres. Bush knew that accomodation would not work, even if Trent Lott and other senior Congressional Repubs. didn't yet realize it. Pres. Bush has been moving toward his own goals since, quietly, but perceptibly, and he knows he can NEVER trust the Democrats again.
He told them, when he entered office, that he'd be willing to work with him, but they have been intractable in their opposition, trying to undermine him at every turn. So be it; Dubya will win, in the end, against both Saddam and Little Tommy and his gang.

San Francisco's Speakeasy launched its limited-edition, barrel-aged Syndicate beer series in 2013. Today it's an annually released series, "united by barrels and graceful age," with Syndicate No. 03 now hitting the shelves and kegs.
Here's what's inside:
Syndicate No. 03 is a blend of seven different strong beers matured between 13-37 months in bourbon barrels. Every barrel in Speakeasy's collection was sampled and carefully considered to create the final blend. Together they form an elegant, delicious, and complex brew, that won't be repeated.
Scarface Imperial Stout, aged 13 months (46%)
Imperial Black Hand, aged 37 months (18%)
Experimental Stout II, aged 20 months (12%)
Experimental Stout III, aged 19 months (11%)
Imperial Payback Porter, aged 19 months (10%)
Scarface Imperial Stout with Philz Coffee, aged 13 months (2%)
Joe's Ale of Strength, aged 18 months (1%)
Fans of barrel-aged beers will absolutely love what Speakeasy has done here. The nose is loaded with coffee and toffee notes, both lightly sweet and bitter in near-perfect balance. Loaded up with dark brown sugar, raisins, and a touch of fresh cigar notes, it's a sultry after-dinner sipper that is amazingly compelling without being overwhelming — watch for a hint of mint on the very end, even.
Barrel aged beers aren't for everyone, but Speakeasy Syndicate No. 03 is one that I can heartily recommend to nearly anyone.

A Date With God - Poem by Jocelyn Dunbar
This is the day to connect to his higher ground,
An accord to view his wholeness being God.
The highest privilege to talk direct to him,
Be alone engage to his presence.
The spirit relax sitting and talking a lot of things to
Share and give to his hand. The mind goes away freely,
Move smoothly, feel the freshness of sight through thoughts
Occupied space. The eyes and vision combine
Absorb the distance.
The cleaning time, to hang loose
Every thing of matter in the mind,
Surrendering all things,
Laying my head in his side every thing feel in.
His loving arms works slowly cradle me,
Hanging in the air, feel free from any disturbing notion.
He shelter me put all the colors to my day
Inspire me and balance my life.
The resting time, love sound mind, present
Moment heaven by my side. I saw his creation,
I wonder his marvelous deeds!
He give the deepest full meaning of
Himself being God, Fabulous!
My deliverance set me up in the sky
To hold his hand someday and live with him;
Beautiful scene.
God provision, every day he offer.
I find my satisfying self to his care.
He given me reason to live and be happy everyday.
I give back my free will being human,
His will and way be in my life,
I surrender all and let him fix my life.

You may remember an earlier Bleeding Cool story about Wolverine travelling in time, and getting his healing factor damaged as a result. Well, readers of Age Of Ultron this week will have seen one of those shoes dropping. It was to the events described in the most recent issue that we were referring to…
Wolverine will also be time travelling, it seems, in next year's X-Men: Days Of Future Past movie.
Age Of Ultron is written by Brian Bendis, who is also writing All New X-Men in which characters written in 1963 travel to 2013. 2013 was the year that the original Days Of Future Past storyline was set in, when published in 1983.
There's time travel all around Bendis at the moment. Unlike the Mark Gruenwald Marvel rules of old, it seems that such action can now affect the current continuity rather than being shunted off into a parallel universe.
And from Marvel's July solicitations, we're seeing the effects.
Spinning out of the events of Age of Ultron!
Hulk's sent on his most dangerous mission yet, working for a secret subdivision of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
History's breaking–and only the Hulk is strong enough to hold it together!
Time travel. There's a lot of it about.
There clearly needs to be some kind of Big Red Reset Button to be pressed in Age Of Ultron, but the effects may be felt all over the place. Wolverine's health, the nature of reality, dimensions breaking (and yes Avengers and New Avengers, I'm looking at you) and… something coming through.
Like Angela?
Like Marvelman?
We're going to have an entertaining summer…

The Death of Osama bin Laden
Osama bin Laden (March 10, 1957-May 1, 2011) was the mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, is reported to have been killed by U.S. forces in Islamabad, Pakistan on May 1, 2011. The evening of May 1, 2011, President Obama announced that bin Laden was killed by an American team in a compound deep inside Pakistan. After a firefight in which bin Laden was killed, the American forces took custody of bin Laden's body.

I went to add torquedev at supercluster.org to the default CC list for the torque components in bugzilla, but it gives me an error since torquedev at supercluster.org is not a bugzilla user.

Agreed. But when the student leaves school can he still afford the pro

I agree with this. But what if one does not see a favorable return on

The man who killed his brother
by Stephen R. Donaldson (Author)
Work details
The Man Who Killed His Brother by Reed Stephens (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Although originally published as by Reed Stephens, these are actually the wordsmith Stephen Donaldson's books where he can try out a different voice, in a different genre. The feel is much closer to some of his short story writing. A lot less convoluted, and despite being noir PI tales invovling drugs and child prostitutes (a la Chander) actually less dark than his Sci-Fi or Fantasy tales.
The tale is nothing to do with a man who killed his brother. That is merely a brief description of the 'hero' Mick Axbrewder, and the incident is described within the first chapter. The consequences however are ongoing throughout the story. Mick retreated into the bottle, as many such PIs seem to do. Fortunately for him he has a partner, Ginny, younger, cleverer (or at least differently clever - less intuative more deductive which is a nice twist on the standard gender models), licensed and female who is prepared to pull him out of his worst drunks. Especially when she needs someone with more bodymass to do some investigating. There is little or no romance between them (properly noir style) - but Mick does seem to genuinally appreciate her repeated attempts at salvaging his life.
The latest salvage occurs when Ginny learns that Mick's niece (daught of the brother he shot) has 'gone missing'. And it soon transpires that she isn't alone. Over the last couple of years nine other young girls have dissappeared from school, and not been seen again, until their bodies were found months afterwards. Mick and Ginny know they have a race against time and gangsters to try and save his niece.
Well written. It is nothing like as wordy or complicated as his other work - which alos means it isn't as rich or deep or so fully immersive. Somehow I don't get the feeling that he was actually aiming for a Noir style detective even though that is very much how it comes across. The alcholic cravings are particularly noteworthy - far moe detailed than just wanting (or having) a drink! Ginny is a bit of an odd character, she's very important for the plot, Mick's sanity, and the overall cohesiveness of the writing, but she is barely detailed at all. A brief paragraph of description, and a few short snappy lines. She doesn't come across as convincingly feminine for some reason.
Should be read by anyone who nejoys the crime genre.
P.I. Mick Brew Axbrewder agonizes over his alcoholism, etc.
There's an over used cliché that seems to adorn the covers of half the thrillers on the bookshelves today: "I turned the pages so fast I left burn marks on the paper." Or something similar. I'm not going to say anything like that but if I did I wouldn't be just supplying an off pat testimonial just for the publicists - I'd actually mean it. Ok so the plot isn't great; its got holes aplenty and skates too close to the absurd a few too many times but that doesn't matter. Donaldson/Stephens has a knack of creating characters who really shouldn't hold the sympathy of the reader. Somehow you end up loving them anyway.
Mick "Brew" Axbrewer is a drunk. Mostly ending up that way after killing his brother. Occaionally saved by Ginny Fistoulari who uses him in her PI practice, even though he lost his PI licence a while ago. Brews' 13 year old niece is mising and the invesstigation turns up more dead girls that the police seem disinterested in.
This isn't a book to read for the author name but it is a good read. It's really not SF or Fantasy, it's firmly a mystery.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0765302039, Hardcover)
A wounded hero must confront his own worst enemy: himself
Mick "Brew" Axbrewder was once a great P.I. That was before he accidentally shot and killed a cop-worse, a cop who happened to be his own brother. Now he only works off and on, as muscle for his old partner, Ginny Fistoulari. It's a living. And it provides an occasional opportunity for him to dry out.
But their latest case demands more than muscle. Brew's dead brother's daughter has disap-peared. His brother's widow wants him and Ginny to investigate. And both of them seem to expect him to sober up. Because the darkness they're find-ing under the surface of Sunbelt city Puerto del Sol goes beyond one missing teenager.
Axbrewder will need all his talents to con-front that darkness. Most of all, he'll need to con-front his own worst enemy-himself.
More than two decades ago, bestselling author Stephen R. Donaldson published three novels about Mick Axbrewder and Ginny Fistoulari as paperback originals under the pseudonym Reed Stephens. More recently, under his own name, Donaldson published a new novel in the se-quence, The Man Who Fought Alone. Now, for Donaldson's millions of readers worldwide, the first of the original books, The Man Who Killed His Brother, appears under Donaldson's own name, in revised and expanded form.

Hi, I've been quite happy following Paleo for several months and lost 2 stone but my weight loss has stalled for a couple of months now although I have lost inches and become more muscular. I still have a stone of fat to lose though and it's not happening. I walk 4 miles a day with the dog, another 3-4 hours per week on various gym cardio and follow a typical split for body building 4 days a week. I have done this before but on a typical high protein low fat diet so I'm wondering if I need to cut the fat a bit. Typical days food - Scrambled eggs with coconut oil and cream and then 2 meals of fish or meat with veg both cooked with ghee or coconut oil. Occasional glass of wine. 4 coffees with goats milk and coconul oil. I cannot tolerate any protein shakes bars or other supplements. I'm 50 although I'm not sure that makes any difference. Any constructive help appreciated.
No announcement yet.

have you tried reducing the cardio a bit? on top of the body building it might be to much, check marks blog on over exercising
I'm aware that I don't eat enough for the exercise that I do but I don't feel hungry enough to eat more. The dog walking is only a brisk walk essential for well being so I thought I might need the cardio while I'm aiming to lose weight. I'll check out the over exercising blog. Thanks.

GM Omar Minaya said he'll have a sit-down with agent Scott Boras and Barry Zito sometime this week. When? We could know that some time to day. Again, a meeting. Maybe a day or two. Perhaps an offer. Boras to use that offer vs. Texas. Maybe a counter.
Count me surprised if it gets done this week. And, I don't see it happening X-Mas/New Years week. Logic says early January.
What I can see happening is Minaya re-visiting the trade market, if for no other reason that to tell Boras he has other options.
Other than that, there's nothing pressing with the Mets. They might tinker with their bench, but nothing substantial on the horizon.

Google to Use PC Microphones to Listen In? (Slashdot)
seriv writes
"The Register reports that Google plans to use PC microphones to collect statistics on a user's environment.
Peter Norvig, who directs research at Google, told Technology Review that this software would start to show up in Google software 'sooner rather than later'.
The software collects short sound clips and removes background noise. Google then targets its ads based on the statistics collected.
With the current level of online privacy, this new level of invasion would seem to have frightening possibilities."

Phil Gamble remembers going into UConn's Guyer Gym to shoot a few baskets, and seeing the new tape.
"Coach told me a new rule was coming in," Gamble said, "and he wanted me to practice shooting from there. So that's what I did – I practiced, and practiced and practiced."
It was the summer of 1986. The Huskies had a new coach, Jim Calhoun, who was going to change the program forever, and the NCAA had made the three-point basket universal, setting the arc at 19 feet, 9 inches. This would forever change college basketball in many ways, some anticipated — more scoring, more spacing, greater opportunity for comebacks — and some not.

The end of the year is a tricky time to buy mutual fund shares in a taxable account. The tax law forces mutual funds to distribute their recognized capital gains annually, and they often do so through a big December distribution. This means you can buy an entire year's worth of tax liabilty for a mutual fund share in a single day.
Fortunately, many funds, including the Vanguard family of funds, let you know when they plan to drop the capital gain bomb. It's worth a few minutes to check these figures before invest that check from Grandma.

text: NAJAF, Iraq (AP) Shiite militiamen fired several mortar shells at a U.S. base in Najaf early Tuesday and at a city hall guarded by Bulgarian troops in another Shiite city. Elsewhere, four U.S. soldiers died after their Humvee overturned during a combat patrol, the U.S. Army said.The sporadic overnight shelling of the U.S. base in Najaf followed intense attacks Monday by militiamen loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who pounded the base with mortars and fired rifles and machine guns. No U.S. soldiers were killed in either attack. U.S. officers estimate about 20 Iraqis were killed by U.S. retaliatory fire.In Karbala, 50 miles north of Najaf, the city hall and the police headquarters, which are guarded by Bulgarian soldiers, came under mortar fire before dawn Tuesday, Bulgarian Defense Ministry spokeswoman Rumyana Strugareva said.No casualties or damage were reported after that attack which lasted about ten minutes. Al-Sadrs forces have battled coalition troops since the occupation authorities sought his arrest last month for the killing of a rival cleric last year.North of Baghdad, four U.S. soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division died from injuries sustained when their vehicle rolled over Monday night during a patrol near Khalis, some 40 miles northeast of Baghdad, the military said in a statement.At least 759 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.In Najaf, U.S. commanders said they are holding back fire to avoid serious clashes in the city, which is home to one of the most holy Shiite Muslim shrines.I think every soldier here understands the sensitivities of the situation, said Lt. Col. Pat White. He added that U.S. troops would maintain our defense posture until someone much, much higher than me makes a different decision.The Tuesday shelling was light compared to Mondays sharp clashes.White estimated that 20 militiamen were killed in the Monday battle based on bodies and watching young men fall after being hit. He said there were few civilian casualties because troops were using precision fire.In Fallujah, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Abdul-Latif, who opposed Saddam Hussein, took over as head of a new force that will replace U.S. Marines in the city, subject to a final background check by U.S. officials. Abdul-Latif would replace another general who may have been involved in Saddam-era repression.During a brief news conference in Fallujah, Abdul-Latif condemned the brutal killing and mutilation of four American contractors there last month, which triggered the three-week siege of the city. However, Abdul-Latif said the people of Fallujah collectively were not to blame.The people of Fallujah should take pride in the fact that that mutilation was condemned from every (mosque) pulpit, he said. The people of Fallujah do not share responsibility for this prohibited act.Abdul-Latif met Tuesday with former officers of Saddams army at the headquarters of Iraqi security forces in Fallujah.Fallujah residents have been celebrating what many see as a victory over the U.S. Marines, who are lifting a monthlong siege and pulling back from positions. The Marines are being replaced by an Iraqi force that is largely made up of former soldiers. U.S. officials have acknowledged they did not vet the forces commanders for the extent of their ties to Saddam before letting the new brigade take over.The new brigade has taken up positions in the south of Fallujah and is expected to replace Marines in the north and start patrols in the city soon.U.S. officials say the Fallujah Brigade will crack down on hardcore guerrillas in the city even though the force itself will likely include some of gunmen involved in fighting against the Marines. Since Friday, masked and armed insurgents have moved freely in the citys streets.In Najaf, U.S. troops fought for hours with Shiite militiamen Monday who barraged the U.S. base with mortars overnight, then in the afternoon opened fire from several directions. U.S. soldiers responded with heavy machine gun and tank fire.The fighting subsided late Monday, but overnight, insurgents fired several more mortar rounds at the base.The U.S. military moved soldiers to the base inside of the city after Spanish peacekeepers withdrew following a decision by the new Madrid government to terminate its involvement in Iraq.U.S. troops took over the Spanish base as the coalition was cracking down on al-Sadr, who has taken refuge in Najaf, the holiest city in Shiite Islam.Al-Sadrs forces have stepped up attacks in recent days apparently either to pressure U.S. officials to negotiate an end to the standoff or to goad troops into retaliating and raising Shiite anger.The U.S. military has vowed to capture or kill the cleric, whose militia launched an uprising across the south in early April.Associated Press correspondent Hamza Hendawi contributed to this report from Fallujah.

Patio Heater Spare Parts
Patio Heater Help & Repair
Factory Clearance Lines
Recycle Patio Heaters
Patio heaters from the branded BFX range that have come to the end of their life can be 100% recycled. They do not use plastic in the manufacture making the scrap metal very easy to dispose either via the local recycling centre or returning to our warehouse. Most recycle centers now take scrap metal and will accept domestic appliances recycling. The metal contained will be either steel for powder coated models or stainless steel for stainless steel types. The reflector will have high quality heavy duty aluminum, flame screen is mainly stainless steel, with a small amount of aluminum. Stripping down the burner will reveal copper pipes, stainless steel copper gas valve and steel mantle.
Recycling reduces the need for expensive landfill sites and steel along with copper has risen in price making it worthwhile for scrap metal merchants to take all parts from a patio heater. In some areas metal scrap dealers now offer a collection service, check locally for one near you.
Recycling via Patio Heater Warehouse
To return your patio heater for recycling please either drop it off to our warehouse, see direction to
warehouse directions
or alternatively pack it up securely into a box and send via post/courier. Please enclose a copy of your name and address with all recycle returns, if purchased direct add the order number. All redundant heaters returned to the warehouse will be stripped down by our qualified engineer and metal sorted into groups. The whole patio heater will be broken down and returned to one of Europe's largest metal recycling companies based in Swindon.

The article, it's noted, was written by someone not on PCWorld staff.
They did get some facts wrong, and their impressions mostly suck.
In any event, my experience at the MARCH booth area was that many
people seeing it, did not have much of an impression of what that
large computer was all about. I offered an explanation of that PDP-8's
background to "some local computing advocates" (no names) and they
were bored. I imagine their reaction was something like "old Compac
server heavy, slow and therefore no good equals old bunch-o-cards
computer heavier, slower and therefore even more no good".
I'm not a MARCH officer but I'll consider posting something there
myself. NOt just because it misrepresented the 8 or MARCH, but also
because it described the flea market - including where I was selling
some of those described iMacs - in terms far worse than it should have
been described.
All this goes to the point that MARCH, in my opinion, needs to get its
"voice" out there, or the only comments will be from those with no
clue about computer history. MARCH needs to have good descriptions of
the computers they exhibit. Those descriptions must show not just the
"how", but the "who" and "why". Blinkin' lights alone will not tell
the story; and not all computers can play Missle Command. I believe
the story of the RESISTOR's PDP-8 is very compelling, for those
interested in a story.

According to one scholarly review of Bart Ehrman's book, Misquoting Jesus, "there is nothing earth-shaking in the first four chapters of the book. Rather, it is in the introduction that we see Ehrman's motive, and the last three chapters reveal his agenda."^ [1]^ He notes that "almost none of the variants that Ehrman discusses involve sayings by Jesus"^[2]^
Variants discussed
- Mark 1:41
- Matthew 24:36
- John 1:18
- John 7:53-8:11
- 1 John 5:7-8 (the Johannine comma)
- Hebrews 2:8-9
Quotes from the book
- "It would be wrong to say as people sometimes do that the changes in our text have no real bearing on what the texts mean or on the theological conclusions that one draws from them. We have seen, in fact, that just the opposite is the case." ^ [3]^

Make learning about sharks even more fun by grabbing your pals, the remote, and a printout of the semi-structured rules to the game of Drinking to Shark Week. To make the game last longer, change the word "drink" to "sip". If you can only catch one episode, or if time is limited, substitute your light drink of choice for something more potent. Or make up your own blasted rules!
1) Drink every time you hear an Australian, South African, or British accent
2) Drink every time you see a diver in a cage.
3) When a great white is 'jumping' out of the cage, drink from when the shark exits the water til the re-entry
4) Drink every time a person mentions chum, a shark attack statistic, or a shark fact (note: this can only happen once every person)
5) Drink every time the camera shows a surfboard or person underwater in the same frame as a shark. Also drink if they show you a chewed-up surfboard.
6) Every time a new person is interviewed, drink
7) Every time a person is declared a "shark expert," drink
There are many more guidelines to follow (or not) for this game. Feel free to add or subtract your OWN rules, but just remember the goal of the game is to _________ (insert your desired result here)!
