A representative for the 'Avatar' actress is quick to shoot down rumors that she and her 'The Words' co-star got 'hot and heavy' over two months ago at a Manhattan nightclub.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Zoe Saldana is not dating Bradley Cooper. After Star magazine came out with the report suggesting that the twosome got "hot and heavy" at a nightclub, a representative for the "Avatar" beauty issued a denial, telling E! Online, "They are not dating. They are just friends."
The hook-up speculation itself spread after Star magazine claimed to have been informed by an eyewitness that Zoe and Bradley were "acting like two high school kids going steady" at a Manhattan club. "The way she and Bradley were sharing affectionate contact, you certainly wouldn't have guessed that Zoe had a fiance at the time," so dished the source.
Accordingly, the pair who starred opposite each other in "The Words" arrived at the club at 3 A.M. on September 16. "They were in a group of about 20 people, but it was obvious from the start what was going on between Zoe and Bradley," the observer said. "They were casting sexy smiles at each other."
"Every time they were within arms reach, they made sure to give each other a sneaky little rub on the shoulder or hip. It was like they were sharing naughty little moments," the witness went on. "Bradley suddenly put his arm around Zoe's shoulders. She then put her arm around his waist, and they left all their friends behind as Bradley let her out of the club. They didn't return."
Less than a month later, Zoe announced that she and her fiance Keith Britton have called it quits after 10 years of dating. Through her representative, the 33-year-old actress said despite the separation, she and Keith will "remain committed business partners as co-founders of fashion resource MyFDB.com."
Meanwhile, 36-year-old Bradley was photographed recently with French actress Melanie Laurent. On Tuesday, November 29, the Phil Wenneck of "The Hangover" went to have lunch at Ralph, an eatery adjacent to Ralph Laurent store in Paris, with the "Inglourious Basterds" beauty, before moving to La Comedie de Champs Elysees.

Pros: Economically priced,gets the job done.
Cons: Could have an extra fan header,otherwise it's just a basic board and it has enough features to build a decent pc.
Other Thoughts: I have bough maybe a dozen of these boards from biostar or something similar,and have not had any issues.This board is compatible with almost any 775 cpu.I used it the last time with a pentium d 3.0 and it worked perfect,even though it isn't on the compatability list from the manufacturer.No pentium d's or pentium 4's are on the list but I am willing to bet it will run pentium 4's too,along with all the newer dual and quad core cpu's for 775.READ FULL REVIEW

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Each spot (pixel) that you view in the picture is made by a single mirror moving back and forth on the DMD. In total, there are over a million of these tiny mirrors, and the white spots you see are those mirrors that have stuck in the "On" position. These mirrors get jammed and hence this problem.
You can contact Samsung Support for the same. You have to call 1.800.726.7864 and request a service. Since it is only 4 years old, they might consider it as a premature failure of light engine and give you a discount, but you will have to persuade for that. Usually it costs around $800 to fix the problem. Hope it helps. If you have any other queries then I would be glad to assist you further.

Health savings accounts (HSAs), touted by their promoters as a way to save for future health-care costs in retirement, will likely end up leaving retirees short of the money they need. By Judy Ward | September 2008 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article Illustration By Brian Staufer Health savings accounts (HSAs), touted by their promoters as a way to save for future health-care costs in retirement, will likely end up leaving retirees short of the money they need.That is the conclusion of an Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) paper, "Saving for Health Care Expenses in Retirement: The Use of Health Savings Accounts," published in August. While they may provide some help in retirement, the paper says, "the maximum savings that can be accumulated in an HSA will be far from sufficient to fully cover the savings needed in retirement for insurance premiums and out-of-pocket expenses.""There is a misinformed belief that they will be more helpful than they really will be in retirement," says the paper's author, Paul Fronstin, Director of EBRI's Health Research and Education program. "You have got the certainty that this is the most money that you can contribute and accumulate, and you have got the uncertainty of how fast health-care costs are going up, what the rate of return will be in retirement, and how long you are going to live."EBRI points to several drawbacks that HSAs have as an accumulation vehicle for funding retiree health expenses: Only those with a high-deductible health plan can have these accounts; those accountholders face contribution limits; given the coupling with high-deductible plans, HSA holders likely will use a significant amount of the balance for medical expenses during their working years; and distributions cannot be used for employment-based retiree health insurance premiums until age 65.The paper offers hypothetical examples, including a 55-year-old in 2008 who starts contributing $2,900 annually to his or her HSA. If this person makes catch-up contributions, he or she would accumulate $59,000 after 10 years.However, according to EBRI estimates, a man age 55 in 2008 will need between $132,000 and $261,000 (depending on prescription drug use in retirement) by the time he reaches age 65 to have a 50% chance of having enough money for premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for Medigap and Medicare Part D.If an individual preserves only 90% of his or her end-of-year account balance each year, the HSA would have just $38,000 after 10 years—and many or most people likely will preserve a lower percentage."That 10% distribution of the account balance each year has a huge impact on savings and, as you get older, you use more health care," Fronstin says. "The benefit of a 401(k) account is that you cannot simply tap into it. With an HSA, there is no penalty for withdrawing money: If you need money for health-care expenses today, you take the money out of the account.""What they basically say is that, even if somebody maxes out on contributions, he will not have enough money," says Jay Savan, a St. Louis-based Towers Perrin Principal, of the EBRI paper. "We have asked these things to be both a spending account and a savings account. They, by necessity, tend to be a spending account, because they are tied to high-deductible plans but, in order for it to be a savings account, you cannot touch it to pay for expenses."

From birth announcements to consumer surveys to genealogical information, Internet predators are finding new ways to exploit even Web users who consider themselves safe and savvy, a consumer advocate warned Utah law enforcement officers Thursday.
"Every one of you . . . is a commodity," Internet security expert Linda Criddle said at the Utah Attorney General's Economic Crime Conference at Salt Lake City's Embassy Suites. "Somebody is willing to pay to know the color of your eyes."
That kind of personal information can give criminals access to financial accounts, help them select and profile potential victims, and even put users' friends and relatives at risk, Criddle said.
Criddle described a family tree her own father posted online to display the fruits of his genealogical research. He took it down once she pointed out that "mother's maiden name" is a common security backup question for online accounts.
"Utah is a big state for genealogy," she said. "If you are into genealogy, you should not be putting that information out there."
Online obituaries, wedding registries and birth announcements often contain much of the same data - along with a notice to potential identity thieves that those named are involved in an emotional event and may not notice new, mysterious debts.
"There is an opportunity every step of the way," Criddle said.
Social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace also give predators a bevy of clues into the lives and families of users, many of whom believe they have preserved their anonymity, Criddle said.
She pointed to one MySpace profile that itself offers scant details, but also displays three comments from friends who reveal the person's full name, school mascot, age, birthday and details of a pending party.
Criminals also can use personal information to tailor a fake online personality designed to win a victim's trust, Criddle said, using as an example two seemingly innocuous photos from the profile of a 15-year-old girl.
In one, the girl is sitting on the porch. Her haircut, clothing and home indicate she is not wealthy and may be attracted to "bling," Criddle said. Her body language - open, but with tense shoulders - suggests she is new to social networking sites and may be an unsuspecting victim.
A second photo shows a man who appears to be the girl's father, which suggests he is an important part of her life. To a financial or sexual predator who wants to get close to the girl, that signals that "playing the daddy roll is not effective," Criddle said. The photo also shows a city flag in the background, and the porch photo shows her house number: 101, almost certainly an address at an intersection, Criddle said.
The conference continues today with a presentation by Chris Hansen, correspondent for "Dateline NBC."

Mexican League playoffs
PUEBLA, MEXICO – The playoffs are different here.
The top five teams in each division get in. Currently, we're in second place with two games to play. We are assured a spot in the playoffs but with just one win in two games we stay out of the 4/5 spot. Those two play in a winner take all one-game playoff.
I have been on a few teams that went to the playoffs but I have only participated in two. The 2004 Durham Bulls and the 2008 Milwaukee Brewers, both of which were first round exits. This year, I hope to play a little longer, be a little more sore and win the last game we play.
With today's game a need-to-win, we will be playing it like a playoff. They have pitched me a lot and it seems I am warming up just about every day. I am throwing the ball very well, which is great – it keeps me pitching but doesn't allow for much rest.
I love being counted on. Pitching important innings is much different than being a long guy or an innings eater. Every out is stressful and exciting at the same time.
The high fives in the dugout are harder. The managers eyes while saying "good job" have so much more appreciation than when you go one two three in a mop up situation.
Of course, the opposite is true: when you mess up in mop up duties and you just eat the innings and give up a few runs, at least you're saving the pen. You mess up in high leverage situations and you kill the pen, you kill your teams chance to win. All things good in this game come with a dark side if you don't succeed. You have to be able to have a strong willed mind and heart to pitch out of the pen! Or be completely stupid and talented. Both works.
One thing that is different here in Mexico is the clubhouse commerce. Every place we play, people are in the clubhouse selling you things. Kids and adults run around taking orders all hustling to make a few pesos off the ball players. At any given time there can be 10 people in the clubhouse who have absolutely nothing to do with the team.

But few stars could have provoked such unwanted attention as that which the singer received from one of history's most depraved and despicable men, terror chief Osama bin Laden.
Extraordinary as it might seem, bin Laden is said to have lusted after Houston, dreamed of marrying her and at one point even plotted to murder her husband Bobby Brown.

Jessie Poole, Theatre
The Body as a Vehicle for Performance
In the acting program at UMBC, we are taught not only movement and voice work but also how to connect to an active inner emotional life. When combined, skills in these disciplines contribute to vulnerable and compelling performance. I would like to further bring together body and inner emotional life through the study of physical theatre, specifically through work with "neutral mask." Neutral mask, as developed by theatre luminary Jacques Lecoq, helps the actor achieve greater expressiveness by developing movement and gesture that is free of mundane, pedestrian patterns. This work is important because performers share traits with athletes. We must have strong, present, and enlivened bodies because our bodies are the vehicles for performance. My own experience has shown me that I have access to more compelling performance choices as I study and practice various movement disciplines. I plan to pursue my research at a workshop at the Center for Movement Theatre called the "Neutral Mask Comprehensive Summer Intensive" at the Academy for Classical Acting in Washington, DC. The workshop is taught by Dody DiSanto, a teaching protégé of Jacques Lecoq. I plan to hold workshops with my peers culminating in a performance at URCAD, which will incorporate and demonstrate my research. My overall long-term goal is to create new performance pieces focused on movement in connection with human emotion and experience.
How did you learn about the URA program at UMBC?
I first learned about the URA program through our department chair Dr. Alan Kreizenbeck and my academic advisor, and now URA mentor, Ms. Lynn Watson. I went to them knowing only that I wanted to take the acting training I've received so far at UMBC and explore new ways of creating theatre. What I would do, or how I would be funded, came later with my application and acceptance into the URA program.
What kind of research do theatre students do?
Most of the work we do in our acting classes is experiential, and we work to translate cerebral techniques into our physical bodies. A theatre student can "research" by reading and studying acting theory or method text, but it doesn't do any good if it cannot be implemented with the body.
How did you decide on the project you proposed? How did you find a mentor?
Ms. Lynn Watson, who was at the time my academic advisor, and Ms. Wendy Salkind, a movement and acting teacher at UMBC, both suggested the "Neutral Mask" work. Ms. Watson offered to be my mentor. I did some research on neutral mask and the work of Jacques LeCoq, but I knew that a workshop where I could try it out for myself was imperative. Luckily a student of his, Dody DiSanto of the Center for Movement Theatre holds workshops in DC, and I applied and was accepted.
Was the URA application difficult? Did your faculty mentor help you?
I found the application difficult because it was early in the process. I knew what I wanted to study, but I wasn't sure where it would all take me, I wasn't sure of the outcome. Ms. Watson assured me that it is a process, that it was okay to be in the middle of it. And that it was important to be open, I didn't have write the ending to my story before the beginning.
How much time do you put into your project?
The majority of the workload is still to come. In June I participated in the six-day workshop in downtown DC. Since then, I've spent a lot of time note-taking about my experience. Now that the workshop is over I can respond to the information my body received and start the process of creating my performance piece. I've also been exploring further the work of Jacques LeCoq and his L'École Internationale de Théâtre in Paris. Next I plan to research other types of masks beyond the Neutral Mask, and explore what a mask does to a ritual or performance.
What has been the most rewarding thing about the project?
So far, the most rewarding part of the project has been the dialogue I've begun with myself, my professors and my colleagues at the workshop about what theatre is. The workshop was an incredibly diverse group of people, I was one of only two undergraduate students. Everyone else was either a professional actor, a theatre professor or a graduate student, and all were participating in different facets of theatre art.
The most unexpected? The most difficult?
The most difficult and yet most surprisingly unexpected part of my experience thus far was that my training at UMBC has prepared me for the professional environment at the workshop. However, it was still difficult at times to keep up, and important to not worry about "being good" at the work, but to just do it.
Would you suggest that other theatre students pursue funded research through URA?
Absolutely! There are so many things to do and learn, and people to meet and connect with, that as artists we simply cannot afford to miss out on this opportunity.
What are your plans for after UMBC?
I hope to go to graduate school for theatre, and hopefully continue this dialogue about what theatre is and how we can make it new.

Bio and Links
I'm a Yankee transplanted to South to pick up the pieces of a life gone awry. After spending a great deal of my life in school studying history and working in the museum field, I have now settled on computers as a new outlet for my interest in history. My family's history can be traced back to at least the Norman Invasion of England and I (with my sister) descend from kings of the Scottish Celts, Irish Celts and Norman Scots, which I have known for as long as I can remember -- my history always being a part of my present. Because I grew up going to cemeteries with my parents to visit the graves of relatives, I have a long-standing affinity for burial places, whether a dolmen in Ireland or a weed filled forgotten family plot. My idea of relaxing when my mind is in turmoil is to go clean the graves of those long gone and forgotten, just to let them know that someone thought about them. My blog will be a place where I can showcase my interest in death art via photographic journeys through cemeteries and finding noted articles of interest. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in having me perform any research or photograph a grave in my area for your genealogy.

Rev John E. Skipper
I am researching our church history � Ft. McCoy UMC in Ft. McCoy Florida. (ftmccoyumc.org) found your memorial for Rev. Skipper on find-a-grave (http://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=73292612)
Rev. Skipper was a pastor of the Burbank Methodist � which folder and merged with the Ft. McCoy church, thus he is part of our history. I know that he attended Birmingham College in 1915 and served about a dozen churches in north central Florida over the course of his career. But, don�t know not much else about him and don�t have a picture.
Just thought I would check and see if you would allow me to use your gravestone picture in our church history (website history section).

Roberts Family
I am looking for my relatives. The story is long and bittersweet. My beloved grandmother was raised in the Baptist Children's home due to the death of her father when she was 6 years old. Her mother could not afford to care for 7 children... the year 1909. She attempted to keep them for a year after her husband's death, but at various times had to place one child after another in the BCH. Elliott Roberts and Angeline Roberts are my great great grand parents as I have recently found out due to the records still being available in the BCH. Their son was John Madison Roberts who married Cora Barnard. They had 7 children: Rena, Cassie, Alvah, Thomas William, Angeline(my grandmother), Elliot, and John( Cora was pregnant with little John when his father,John Madison, died). Is there any way for you to add a picture to his listing (J M Roberts birth and death unknown) or all of those that are in the family plot? My father has since passed on with all of his siblings with exception to one. My aunt is the last remaining child of Angie (Angeline's) and she will turn 90 in June. I would so very much like to include any photos into the booklet I am making for her as all in our family have missed knowing who all of these people were/are. Thank you for doing all that you do for those of us that no longer live in areas in which we can go to view for ourselves. Your interest and devotion fills a void many of us have had for years. Again, many thanks and blessings.

Victor Barron, a former judge convicted last year of taking a bribe from a lawyer, is an inmate at the Clinton Correctional Facility. But unlike his fellow prisoners, Barron is paid nearly $US88,000 ($120,000) a year through his state pension.
Gloria Davis and Joseph Marino are two other New York officials convicted of bribery collecting huge state pensions - $US61,290 and $US400,000 respectively. Mr Marino, a retired New York tax assessor, admitted taking $US4.1 million in bribes for lowering tax bills on some Manhattan properties.
Legally, there is nothing wrong with paying pensions to public employees who have committed crimes while on the clock. After all, many legal experts and labour lawyers point out, pensions are not handouts but deferred salary, an employee's property.
This has not stopped some outraged city officials from trying to change the law governing New York's pension system. One city councillor, David Yassky, said: "It's absurd that people who have been convicted of crimes, betraying public trust, should continue to receive pensions funded by taxpayer dollars."
Mr Yassky introduced a resolution in July urging state legislators to act. "Taxpayers should not be asked to continue paying people who have cheated them," he said.
This is not the first time the laws have been challenged. In the late 1980s, after a wave of public corruption trials, the city's mayor, Ed Koch, called on state legislators "to eliminate the loopholes in the city's pension laws". In 1995, new laws were touted that would reduce or eliminate public pensions for convicted criminals. However, the bills went nowhere.
Now a new bipartisan generation of city and state officials, including the state Governor, George Pataki, have come out in favour of taking another swing.
Mr Pataki's spokesman, Todd Alhart, said: "The Governor supports the concept of rescinding pension benefits for public officials or employees that have been convicted of crimes involving official misconduct."
Rose Gill Hearn, the commissioner of the city Department of Investigation, which investigates corruption in city agencies, said this week "it's an issue whose time has come".
Pension laws have been overhauled in several other states. In Florida, state employees convicted of using their jobs to commit bribery, embezzlement or theft must forfeit almost all of their pension money.
In Illinois, a 1955 law forbids pensions for state employees convicted of felony crimes related to their public service. In New Jersey, a committee in the Treasury Department decides whether to allow pensions for convicted public officials on an individual basis.
Even in West Virginia, a state with a strong tradition of unionised labour, pensions can be withheld from public employees whose service has not been honorable at all times.

Three Anglican bishops who have decided to join the new ordinariate for former Anglicans will be ordained deacons on January 13 and priests two days later at Westminster Cathedral in London.
This is huge to my mind. The news accounts do not mention it, but these will presumably be "conditional ordinations" akin to a church baptism when the baby was already baptized at the hospital. We call it "supplying the rite" because, of course, you can't be baptized twice. You also can't be ordained twice. So, these bishops, who have been bishops for some time, are acknowledging that they actually are not bishops, or not fully bishops.
I have to wonder if they really believe that? Do they really believe that their previous ordinations were deficient, that they are not really bishops right now, before Jan. 15? The question is an important one. If they are leaving the Anglican communion simply because it has tolerated the ordination of women and gays, then they cannot reasonably present themselves for Catholic orders. If, on the other hand, the fact that the Anglican communion has acted in these ways has convinced them that the Anglican Communion is not truly apostolic, that they now can see what the Holy See claimed all along, that their orders were invalid, they can reasonably present themselves for ordination in the Catholic Church. If this latter thinking is the case, then these men are doing something larger than most commentators have allowed. They are genuinely converting. And, that is huge.

Not true.
Dont get drunk before you play.
Beer is full of B12
So all of a sudden people drink beer before a game because it is an energy drink. LMAO What is your belief about b12 anyway? I ask this because I take B12 everyday in large doses so I do not get sick and die, I have Pernicious Anemia. I have a disease that requires it and will need to take 7,000 mcgs a day for life to maintain blood levels. The absorbtion rate of b12 is really terrible and high doses are needed to actually get extra B12. It takes years for your liver to store 5 years worth since food is relatively low in B12 because your liver stores it and does not use much when it is needed.
Before you answer .... it takes up to 3 days for any "extra" B12 to be put into use by your body if you need B12 because your B12 levels are low. If your levels are NOT low B12 is a water soluble vitamin and ANY extra is passed out in waste. Your liver stores 5 years worth of B12 and uses it as needed as you get very very little in everyday food. Intrinsic factor, a protein secreted by your stomach, bonds with B12 and is carried off through your digestive system to your liver.
B12's main benefit is blood production and the resulting nerve health and increased metabolism and not extra energy. You are confusing an elevated metabolism with an instant before game consumed energy drink. It just does not work that way ..... at all.
And throw in beer drinkers lower folic acid levels it creates more problems than it benefits from the consumed B vitamins. Folic acid is a b vitamin by the way, B9. You see ALCOHOL is not good for your liver and how it distributes vitamins necessary to be healthy.
Well I'm just saying .... glorifying drinking alcohol before playing hockey is pretty stupid B12 or not. How's this .... playing buzzed hockey is playing drunk hockey, just like in the drunk driving commercials. Drinking before a game is as stupid as drinking before working in the wood shop with power tools.
In any case some of things you come out with amaze me. I'm still thinking of your comments about how a skate hollow determines how fast a blade dulls like somehow a shallower hollow weakens the metal or something.

The Dangerous Lord (Lord Trilogy, Book 3) (edition 2000)
by Sabrina Jeffries
Work details
The Dangerous Lord by Sabrina Jeffries
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Won an signed copy from Sabrina Jeffries's "Sabrina's Summer Series Sweepstakes."
Good historical romance with an interesting plot and I especially liked the strong heroine who held her own and stood up for her principles. It's always fun when it the male pursues the female. Viscount Ian is determined to confront Lord X who wrote an article about him and is surprised to find Felicity.
I thought the gossipy plotline and his deceptions in this Regency were a bit over the top, yet it was still an enjoyable read.
Ian Lennard, Viscount St. Clair has a deep dark secret. To escape it, he fled England to become a spy on the continent. Six years later he's back and on the hunt for a bride so that he can fulfill the stipulations in his father's will and claim his birthright. (He has to produce an heir before he's 32). Because of his traumatic past, Ian is very secretive and private. So when he learns that an anonymous gossip columnist, Lord X, has been spreading rumors that he's taken a mistress, he's reasonably upset and determines to hunt the man down and make him recant. Imagine his surprise when he finds out Lord X is actually the nom de plum of Felicity Taylor, the struggling sister of four who lives off her meager earnings from the newspaper. There's instant attraction between them, as well as antagonism, and Ian begins pursuing Felicity. She, in turn, wants to know all his secrets. He tells her that he hasn't taken a mistress, that the woman Felicity chanced to see with him and whom she has accused of being his mistress is no such thing. She doesn't believe him. The following romance between this two revolves around Ian telling Felicity the truth, Felicity never believing him, and Ian paying for it.
Love is blind they say. Because the heroine of this story is awful. There's a fine line between being strong and being a shrew. Felicity Taylor has obviously mistaken the latter for the former and crosses that line again and again until she's long lost to the company of dimwitted, obnoxious, "feisty" heroines I so despise. As a gossip columnist, she brags about puncturing the egos only of those who deserve it, of exposing the sins of spoiled rich men for the greater good of deceived women everywhere - these are all excuses, mere bluster to cover up her unprincipled, selfish, hypocritical, meddlesome, self-righteous, disrespectful, and damaging rumor mongering. She's a silly gossip, a precursor to the parasitic paparazzi, and her efforts to elevate her "job" to some sort of art form or religious vocation are ridiculous. She's so in the wrong, is so unaware, so unrepentant. In short, I can't stand her. Other books have featured writer heroines without resorting to this perversion of the profession. I don't know why Felicity has to be like this.
I'm equally bemused by the fact that I actually enjoyed most of the book. Considering my reaction to Felicity, I know this sounds crazy. But even with such a wretched heroine, Jeffries manages to suck me in with the way she writes this story. Ian is a great guy, and so sexy. Even though I wish he'd bestowed his affections on a worthier partner, there's still tons of chemistry in their interactions, so that, while I'm reading I don't let Felicity bother me too much. It's more in describing her character in retrospect that I start to get really annoyed with her. I have no idea why Ian likes Felicity - she slanders him in print and to his face, preaches to him about her nonexistent good works as a gossiper, judges him when she has absolutely no moral high ground whatsoever and doesn't know anything about him besides her own preconceived notions that he's a philandering rake because she's convinced that all noblemen are scum, threatens and blackmails him, never admits she's wrong, violates his right to privacy, acts like his secrets and his past are her personal property to exploit, manipulates his friends so they turn against him, breaks up his engagement with her lying column… ugh. It's disgusting.
I'm even less pleased when the two heroines from the previous books in this series butt in to join forces with Felicity, speculating about and condescending to Ian, championing and praising Felicity and, worst of all, playing matchmaker (Sara's more the problem here than Emily.)
If all this wasn't bad enough, when Ian proposes to her, she refuses him for the stupidest of reasons. She's dishonest with him and with herself, playing mind games instead of being an adult. She operates from the premise that everyone is guilty until proven innocent and goes through the whole book demanding that Ian prove himself to her. She's got a bee in her bonnet about the woman she thinks is his mistress, knows he's hiding something, and is determined to get this secret out of him if she has to pry it from his cold dead fingers, all while blowing the whole issue up with her speculations and irrational jealousy. He tells her the woman isn't his mistress until he's blue in the face, and even though she has no reason not to believe him, she never listens.
But still I tore through much of the book. Maybe I was able to just discredit everything that Felicity says without giving her the consideration she doesn't deserve, gleefully waiting all along for a delicious comeuppance that will have her groveling at Ian's feet. Sadly, I'm left hoping. And when I realize no comeuppance is forthcoming, my interest wanes. After Ian finally gets Felicity to marry him, the spark goes out of the story. The last 100 or so pages were really hard to plow through. Ian has an evil uncle who's trying to ruin Ian's efforts to marry because if Ian fails to produce an heir the estate will go to the uncle. Ian's dark secret also involves this evil uncle. The unraveling of the secret is a disappointment, given that it entails Felicity getting her way and having Ian grovel at her feet instead of the other way around. At this point, Felicity stops treating Ian like crap and decides she must heal him. There's irony for you. Once she starts acting decent, it's far too late for me to care. Poor Ian in turn wants to be a martyr and has an attack of conscience, thinking he's maltreated Felicity – when he really hasn't. He tries to give her what he thinks she wants, an annulment. All this would be hilarious if it weren't so maddening. It's no wonder he doubts himself and feels horrible after all her mixed messages and guilt trips. I'm beyond annoyed that he feels the need for self-flagellation, apologizing to Felicity and bending over backwards for her. His deep dark secret comes out, there's a rather awkward resolution that dispenses with the evil villain, and our hero and heroine get to enjoy their happily ever after. I can only regret that Ian has to be stuck with Felicity for the rest of his days. The secondary characters are interesting and entertaining - even Felicity's siblings, which is a shocker for me. I love her servant, Mrs. Box, too. The only woman, besides Lady Brumley, who talks any sense. And Ian is a great hero, a well drawn character who's able to carry the book a lot of the way, but Felicity ultimately sabotages it. Sad.

WEST CAPE MAY — Five years into her silk-screening company, Susan Lotozo faced a critical issue shared by other small-business owners — the major hurdle of trying to grow.
What would become the Flying Fish Studio originated as a side business in her living room while Lotozo worked as a hotel general manager.
Lotozo, an art school graduate, started small, selling wholesale T-shirts with her artwork and designs to area businesses and restaurants for their employees or to sell to their customers.
After her first child, she rented a storefront to pick up more wholesale accounts but found people were interested in buying her products retail, too.
"I didn't have any capital investment (in wholesale). In general, you would get paid as soon as you delivered the goods, and it would be profitable. But people kept knocking on the door and wanted to see what I was doing and would buy things," she said.
This led to one of Lotozo's major business decisions for the Flying Fish Studio, which now has eight employees seasonally and produces "tens of thousands" of silk-screened articles of clothing a year.
Lotozo sought the advice of the U.S. Small Business Administration, which stressed the importance of investing in inventory for retail. She ended up getting a $25,000 low-interest loan.
"I was at this growth point where I needed employees, but as soon as I started paying people, any profit that I had was going away. … They put me in a program with a female CPA in Atlantic City to write a business plan. … They said if you do this the right way, this $25,000 will revolve and make money for you, and you have to make that investment. And that was a stumbling block for me," she said.
"That made a really big difference. It allowed me to increase the square footage of store and be able to fill it with inventory without expecting to have to pay for that inventory from the sales right away," she said.
Wholesale and retail are now about evenly split.
Lotozo, 54, of West Cape May, owns a unique store on Park Boulevard, with a bright blue exterior. Inside, the shelves and racks arehold their own charm — fashioned from old doors and paint-splattered ladders.
The merchandise involves a variety of her designs, including T-shirts and sweatshirts with drawings depicting area beaches, such as Poverty Beach. A popular seller has been a T-shirt with artwork of birds congregating around a utility pole, an image Lotozo based on a pole outside the business's front door.
About a decade ago, the business occupied a large workshop out back where it does its printing on hand-operated machines, one at a time.
The Flying Fish Studio sells at other locations as well, including a retail location just a minute's walk away: the West End Garage on Perry Street, which includes an artists' co-op gallery and an assortment of stalls and shops.
"It seems like it might be weird to do retail right across the street from yourself, but I knew the power of marketing that was going into making that successful as a whole," Lotozo said. "I felt with 50 different vendors and 20 different artists in the co-op, they were all going to be marketing people to come in."
Lotozo said the next idea she plans to implement she got from a carton of eggs she bought at an Amish market — a short description about the family and the farm that produced the eggs.
"Every retail customer is a potential wholesale customer, and that's what I'm going to maximize on next, my next marketing plan," she said.

What is a really funny prank to do to someone?
But because you trace circles with the coin the pencil will rub off on there forehead and they will have a line on there head all day
Next year, egg decorating will have to be Palm Sunday or wait until 2013.
This is the guy who asked, "Can my girlfriend move in? She can help you with the baby."
The haircut that was more like a scalping was memorable to all. For this one to work, you need a pattern of regular, timely haircuts, a little or a lot of alcohol and the unmitigated gall of a cheap philanderer with a sense of entitlement. You would think he'd have noticed the piles of curls on the kitchen floor.
I don't think April 1st played a part in that last prank but it was even more hilarious!!

text: I am working on migrating from another cluster resource manager/scheduler and am currently trying to get the queues to work out nicely. I essentially have a high, medium, low queues (one for each architecture, but I already figured that out). Basically I have these queues defined in Torque and have set priorities for them (say low=20 medium=30 and high=50). I would like Maui to use these priorities and the behaviour I would like to see is jobs run proportional to their assigned priorities. So assuming I have 100 node cluster I would hope to see (roughly) 50 jobs from high running, 30 from medium and 20 from low. Based on the comment here: http://www.supercluster.org/pipermail/mauiusers/2005-September/001743.html and information here: http://www.clusterresources.com/products/maui/docs/5.1.2priorityfactors.shtml I have tried to set CLASSWEIGHT[0] = 1 which has the obvious effect of running the high priority jobs first rather than the lower priority jobs which were submitted first. But I don't seem to get a mixture of jobs. My fundamental goal is to get a decent balance of jobs running where (nearly) everyone will have at least a few jobs running regardless of their priority. At this point, we don't want anyone to have exclusive use of all of the cluster nodes based on their higher priority. Thanks for any help you can provide. Austin Godber godber at mars.asu.edu PS - Here is some configuration information: Output of "qmgr -c 'p s'" http://www.mars.asu.edu/~godber/public/qmgr.out Output of "schdctl -l": http://www.mars.asu.edu/~godber/public/schedctl.out PPS - My test cluster is a 6 node vmware team. So I only have 5 compute nodes at this point, is it possible that things are working the way I want them but I just don't see it since I have so few nodes? (e.g. it doesn't really kick in until a certain number of compute nodes are present?).

Carmageddon was one of the most polemic games ever, to the extent that some say that the poor image videogames have nowadays comes straight from that PC game released back in 19 97, when media worldwide echoed of how governments banned the game and pull it out from the shelves. In hindsight, we can say that it wasn't a so good game then, but it was fun, and players worldwide enjoyed playing something "forbidden". Whether people knew that it was brazenly inspired by a film premiered more than twenty years earlier (David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone, it ain't chopped liver), the legend was born.
Sixteen years later, Carmageddon lands on Android in a complete different environment: there are umpteen similar games, physics and graphics have far evolved from those un-rendered 3D models, so there was only a way left to cut through the noise, this is, play the nostalgia and the controversy cards at the same time, and that's what we have here. Carmageddon is a mediocre racing or driving simulator game, because it isn't either of both. It's a game about chasing, crashing and hear the screams of enemies and passers-by alike. By the way, controls are smooth though your car hasn't to be so, don't forget to use the map (you can/should prowl anywhere, but there are checkpoints for a reason called "laps") and play with the replay, even when unfortunately there isn't a way to record your catches.
Therefore, it's fun. It isn't children-friendly fun. It isn't even morally acceptable fun, and perhaps that is the true message behind this game then and now: to ask ourselves what fun is.
This promo version will only be available on May the 10th, 2013. Game will cost $2 thereafter.

The Research Park Corp. voted Monday to give a $1.5 million grant to a new program aimed at making investments in high-potential startup tech businesses across Louisiana.
The Catalyst Fund plans on making three or four grants a year to companies in fields such as social media, cloud computing, big data and mobile services, said Jeanne Bayless, CEO of Innovation Catalyst.
Those fields were selected for investment because they are "capital efficient," Bayless said. The grants will be between $50,000 and $250,000.
"We'll help these companies refine their business plans and help them to find capital sources," she said.
The grants for the Catalyst Fund will be spread out over a three-year period and are separate from the more than $1 million grant for operations the RPC will give Innovation Catalyst between now and 2016.
The money will come from the RPC's funds, which are largely generated by a parishwide hotel/motel tax and from the return on the RPC's investments.
The nonprofit fund will provide seed and early-stage capital. Any return on investments will be put back into the fund.
Bayless said the next step is to get state funds for Catalyst through the federal State Small Business Credit Initiative, which would match every $1 of grant money with 66 cents.
About $1 million exists in the fund, she said.
The fund will seek out businesses that have "go-to-market" models that are easy and inexpensive, address a critical point and a large market, and are run by people who can be coached and mentored.
Catalyst Fund is one of five programs Innovation Catalyst (formerly known as Step One Ventures) will launch to help Louisiana's entrepreneurial climate. Plans are to start the ION Fund, a for-profit venture fund aimed at providing growth-stage capital, next month. Unlike traditional venture capital funds, investors will not get equity in a company; they will get a cut of the revenue.
"The good thing is our investors don't have to wait for an exit to start getting money back, such as the company going public or getting acquired," Bayless said. "For the company, it's really beneficial because if they really believe in the company, they're not giving away a lot of equity."
In other business, the RPC approved a new five-year lease with the Bon Carré Business Center on Florida Boulevard for its Louisiana Technology Park, which serves as an incubator for fledgling companies.
The exact dollar figure isn't known yet because it will be based on what the Consumer Price Index is for Dallas and Houston in December. Stephen Loy, acting director of the tech park, said estimates are the figure will be about $9.71 a square foot, which will put the rent at just under $365,000 a year beginning in January. The current rent is $8 a square foot, or just over $302,000 annually.
The 2013 audit of the RPC was accepted. The audit, performed by LaPorte, found no material weaknesses and no instances of noncompliance with government standards.
Board members also discussed the recent decision to hire an outside search firm to find a permanent CEO for the RPC. "Hopefully, we'll come out with a very dynamic person," said Terrell Brown, chairman of the commission.

Release Notes: A fix for a bug that made it impossible to access the Preferences dialog.
Release Notes: A fix for a bug in gnuboy option generation, smarter code for locating the glade files, and a new column in the main list wherein the romname gets displayed.
Release Notes: VGB-GUI now looks in the right place for gnuboy options.
Release Notes: Support added for 2 gnuboy options: scale and density. ROM count added to the status bar. Support added for multiple ROM directories. Bug fixed - it is now possible to use gzipped roms that have filenames with spaces in them.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug that made it impossible to use roms that weren't gzipped with gnuboy, and as VGB and gnuboy savegames are compatible, they are now kept in the same directory.
Release Notes: Basic support for the gnuboy gameboy emulator (you have to edit the .gnuboy/gnuboy.rc file yourself to make changes to the way gnuboy behaves) When using gnuboy, savegames are placed whereever the gnuboy.rc file says they are to be placed (default ~/.gnuboy/saves) and not where specified in the preferences dialog. VGB-GUI is able to make gnuboy support gzipped ROM files, which requires that the program gunzip is in your path.
Release Notes: It is now possible to specify a directory for storing saved games. The preferences dialog was rearranged by splitting it into options specific to VGB and options related to vgb-gui. It is now possible to specify the location and name of the VGB binary. Support was added for controlling the autofire options, the pocket printer option, the washed out CGB palette option, the SHM option, and the CPU saver option.
Release Notes: Support has been added for more file extensions (*.gb, *.gb.gz, *.gbc, *.gbc.gz). It now works with filenames with spaces in them
Release Notes: First public release.

Those in political power don't want fuel and power to be affordable. But the knowledge to run vehicles on sea or fresh water engine generators has existed since World War II. A German submarine ran on sea water.
They speak of alternate fuels and wind power. Motor companies speak of fuel cells and selling hydrogen. And many know about vehicles running here in the United States on water. Kits are being sold on the Internet. You can find plans about HHO on the Internet.
How are those in political power and the oil and electric companies going to stop this? Tax laws. Socialism cannot permit this.

Supplement Forms/Alternate Names:
- L-Taurine
Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Taurine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of proteins. Found in the nervous system and muscles, taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body. It is thought to help regulate heartbeat, maintain cell membranes, and affect the release of neurotransmitters (chemicals that carry signals between nerve cells) in the brain.
There is no dietary requirement for taurine, since the body can make it out of
vitamin B
People with diabetes have lower-than-average blood levels of taurine, but whether this means they should take extra taurine is unclear.
Meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products, and fish are good sources of taurine. Legumes and nuts don't contain taurine, but they do contain methionine and cysteine.
Therapeutic Dosages
A typical therapeutic dosage of taurine is 2 g 3 times daily.
Therapeutic Uses
Preliminary evidence suggests that taurine might be helpful in congestive heart failure (CHF), a condition in which the heart has trouble pumping blood, which leads to fluid accumulating in the legs and lungs. 1Warning : Keep in mind that CHF is too serious for self-treatment. If you're interested in trying taurine or any other supplement for CHF, you should first consult your doctor.
There is also some evidence that taurine may be helpful for acute viral hepatitis . 2
Taurine has additionally been proposed as a treatment for numerous other conditions, including alcoholism , cataracts , diabetes , epilepsy , gallbladder disease , hypertension , multiple sclerosis , psoriasis , and stroke , but the evidence for these uses is weak and, in some cases, contradictory. 3-7 Taurine is also sometimes combined in an "amino acid cocktail" with other amino acids for treatment of attention deficit disorder , but there is no evidence as yet that it works for this purpose.
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Taurine?
Congestive Heart Failure
Several studies (primarily by one research group) suggest that taurine may be useful for
congestive heart failure
. For example, in one
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
, 58 people with CHF took either placebo or 2 g of taurine 3 times daily for 4 weeks.
Then the groups were switched. During taurine treatment, the study participants showed highly significant improvement in breathlessness, heart palpitations, fluid buildup, and heart x-ray, as well as standard scales of heart failure severity.
Animal research
as well as small blinded or
studies in humans have also found positive effects.
Interestingly, one very small study compared taurine with another supplement commonly used for congestive heart failure,
coenzyme Q
Viral Hepatitis
There are several viruses that can cause acute viral hepatitis , a disabling and sometimes dangerous infection of the liver. The most common are hepatitis A and B, although there are others (with such imaginative names as C and D).
One double-blind study suggests that taurine supplements might be useful for acute viral hepatitis. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 63 people with hepatitis were given either 12 g of taurine daily or placebo. 15 (The report does not state what type of viral hepatitis they had.) According to blood tests, the taurine group experienced significant improvements in liver function as compared to the placebo group.
Acute hepatitis can also develop into a long-lasting or permanent condition known as chronic hepatitis. One small double-blind study suggests that taurine does not help chronic hepatitis. 16 For this purpose, the herb milk thistle may be better.
Safety Issues
As an amino acid found in food, taurine is thought to be quite safe. There is strong evidence that taurine is safe at levels up to 3 g per day, although higher dosages have been tested without apparent adverse effects. 17 However, maximum safe dosages of taurine supplements for children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease have not been determined.
As with any supplement taken in multigram doses, it is important to purchase a reputable product, because a contaminant present even in small percentages could add up to a real problem.

Andy Murray beat Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero in straight sets, 7-5 6-3 6-2, to make it into the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time.
After winning the first set, the world number three went 3-1 down, before winning five games in a row and then storming to victory in the third set.
The match seemed to be much easier for Murray than his fourth round tie against Stanislas Wawrinka on Monday.
Now he'll have to beat America's Andy Roddick for a place in Sunday's final.
Roddick had to battle for his place in the semi-finals in a five-set thriller against Australian Lleyton Hewitt which ended 6-3 6-7 7-6 (7-1) 4-6 6-4.
Earlier on Wednesday, Roger Federer became the first semi-finalist by beating Ivo Karlovic in straight sets.
The five-times Wimbledon champ won 6-3 7-5 7-6 (7-3), as he became the first player of this year's tournament to break Karlovic's powerful serve.
Roger Federer now faces Tommy Haas in Sunday's final after Haas scored a surprising win over Serbia's Novak Djokovic, 7-5 7-6 (8-6) 4-6 6-3.
Girls' title
It's not just the men playing at Wimbledon on Wednesday, 15-year-old Laura Robson has also been on court defending her Wimbledon girls' title.
Unfortunately, she lost her third round match against Quirine Lemoine, 6-2 4-6 8-6, in a match that took two hours and 18 minutes.

The lamothe house has an incredible location, we could walk and explore the French quarter very easily. The staff was super friendly, the pool Is beautiful, the room was clean and I loved that they used Aveda products in the hotel bathroom. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and will most likely stay here my next trip to New Orleans.
Very close and convenient to Frenchman Street...choose enough to French Quarter area without being in the middle of it all Nice quiet area, loved having the secure parking lot right there
Great room with huge shower and jacuzzi tub. Bed was very comfortable. Rooms were very much in the style of the French quarter. Great for people that are not using the hotel for more than a place to sleep comfortably with great location for a French quarter experience. No bar attached
Great price, comfort, and convenience. Parking
Quaint, comfy, good value. Walk or street car to most sights.
Loved the environment and the old world historic nature of the entire place not really
The complimentary wine and cheese each evening was fantastic. Particularly as there was a large couch in a window bay on which to recline while enjoying the wine and cheese. The bed was high off the ground and totally luxurious. The bathroom was huge. The swimming pool was fabulous for the New Orleans heat. My only complaint is that the staff did not tell us that the pool would be covered over in preparation for a wedding on our last day.
I liked the older mansion look. The rooms were a good size. The staff were not accommadating.; They claimed we did not make a reservation through you. Luckily I had my confirmation email. There was no free wine and cheese. Breakfast was sparse. the air conditioner in the room did not work. I would not stay there or recommend the hotel to anyone.
We enjoyed how close the bed and breakfast was to the French Quarter. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. We were supposed to check in at 3 pm on Monday the 1st (of February). The innkeeper texted us to let us know the BnB was not open on Mondays. If the room was clean before 3 pm we would be allowed to check in. We arrived to the BnB and found our room at 11 am hadn't been cleaned from the person before. So we decided we would just wander and come back at 3 pm. We did so and when we returned we found the room in the same condition. At this point I'm tired and frustrated. We call the innkeeper and he tells us there is staff at the property that should be taking care of it. After that they quickly cleaned our room and we were allowed in around 415 pm. This was one pitfall. I understand if you are closed on Mondays, but what I don't understand is why you don't have the staff to help run the place. In our price we were offered a continental breakfast... But the chef was in Houston and we did not get the continental breakfast the next day. We got a knock on our door at 8 pm to give us our breakfast. This included a yogurt, Apple, granola bar, croissant, and water. I'm in no way upset with any of the staff. I'm just a little frustrated that all of this couldn't have been told to us prior to our arrival so that if we wanted to find another hotel we could have. Value overall due to it being close to the French quarter was good. Value for the service provided, don't think so. I think I'll be staying somewhere different next time.
A nice European style breakfast was served, and the WYFI worked well. For a cozy B&B the Burgundy was fine. The walk to the French Quarter would be too much for most adults but it was an easy enough drive.
Convenient location. Quant digs. Comfortable. Hot tub. Back patio area. Friendly staff. No.
Location Staff was knocking on the door to ask us to leave fifteen minutes before checking out
The hosts were genuinely kind and welcoming. The rooms are immaculate with all the amenities one would want. There is plenty of street parking which not only saved me money but also made it easy to come and go. You don't need to drive to get to the French Quarter because it's only a few blocks away. The neighborhood is beautifully maintained and safe. I was traveling alone and Benjamin helped me carry my luggage to my room and Ed was so welcoming when I checked in. They offer wine and cheese from 5-6 every evening which is a great way to meet some of the other guests and share places to visit. There was a huge selection for breakfast in the morning in beautiful surroundings. The home is warm and charming. Each room has its own elegant charm. I was ill the day I left with a stomach flu and Ed was so kind and took care of me just like a close friend. He made sure I was well enough to travel and printed my boarding pass for me and checked to see if my flight was on time. I felt like I was staying with dear friends. There wasn't one thing I didn't like. I will definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect place to stay while visiting New Orleans.
Kim and Charly are great hosts. If your looking for somewhere to lay your head after a long day this is the place.
The Inn was a very nice place to stay. This staff was extremely nice and helpful, the Innkeeper let us know all the good places to eat and that weren't the mainstream places. It was clean and pretty roomy, for two people. It wasn't a very big place, which I liked because it wasn't loud or crazy. Even the neighborhood it was in was a very quiet area, but it was close enough to the Quarter that we could just walk there. The only things lacking are nit-picky things. For example there was not ice available. And they only had showers not tubs. There was street side parking only and it was hard to find places to park at times because it is in a residential area. But as I said for all the pros, these are just little nitpicky things.
Ubicación perfecta, justo entre French Street y Bourbon Street. Unos anfitriones muy atentos. Permiso de aparcamiento facilitado por ellos. El desayuno perfecto, las habitaciones muy únicas - nos encantó!!!! Pudimos usar la cocina, que era muy práctica. La piscina era un lujo. Sin duda nos alojaremos de nuevo, cuando vayamos de nuevo en Nueva Orleans y recomiendo este sitio a todo el mundo
Excelente ubicación para una estancia en pareja con comodidades. Habitación suite doble estupenda, pero faltaba el aire acondicionado en muchas. Además, uno de los ventiladores de techo no funcionaba. Tuve que comprar un ventilador de pie para no derretirme del calor.

Project DescriptionDesigned and built for the 2009 U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon, this solar-powered, 800-square-foot prototype house is tailor-made for northern climates. The project combines a responsive louver and building-integrated solar-panel skin with a savvy interior that contributes to the overall building performance.
Any architect pursuing LEED points knows that the actions of the occupant can have more impact on a building's energy performance than any single technology, so the team concentrated on developing a building management system—called the Adaptive Living Interface System (ALIS)—that is both easy to use and informative. The program collects data and monitors energy use and production, water use, and indoor and outdoor environmental conditions. This information can be accessed via a Web-based application that parses the data and can track patterns over months or years.
Since changes can be made and monitored in real time, touchscreen panels are integrated throughout the house and translate information into a dollar figure of savings or expenditures for the day. And to make monitoring simple, the design team based the system on open-source calendar and social networking softwares that are easy to use and require no new learned skills. It was this level of integration that intrigued juror Cristobal Correa. "They looked at all the systems and they talk about the user. It's very important for these things to actually interact with the user—this house is like a living thing," he said.
Energy usage is also minimized by the smart interior design, which incorporates elements such as a custom cellular ceiling. Composed of 4,500 individually formed cones, the ceiling is made from window-shade material that helps to absorb reflected sound and direct light from the perimeter further into the core of the space, an added functionality that impressed juror Frank Barkow. "I really like the ceiling idea," he said, "especially the components that made it and how it was conditioned by local and general lighting conditions." The jury admired the house's overall combination of form and function, but it was the monitoring system that especially caught their attention.

Lymphatic spread of mesenchymal renal tumor to metastatic parathymic lymph nodes in rat
David Rozsa1, Gyorgy Trencsenyi1, Pal Kertai2, Terez Marian3, Gabor Nagy1 and Gaspar Banfalvi1
1Department of Microbial Biotechnology and Cell Biology, 2Institute of Preventive Medicine and 3Department of Nuclear Medicine, University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary.
Offprint requests to: Prof. Gaspar Banfalvi Ph.D., D.Sc., University of Debrecen, 1 Egyetem Square, Debrecen 4010, Hungary. e-mail: email@example.com
Summary. Rat mesenchymal renal tumor cells (NeDe) transplanted under the kidney capsule of F344 rats resulted in metastases in the parathymic lymph nodes. Tumor cells were isolated from these tumor-bearing lymph nodes and 106 cells were implanted under the kidney capsule. Tumor growth after this implantation could be traced within six days. India ink was implanted to prove that there is a connection between the lymphatic vessels of the kidney capsule and the parathymic lymph nodes. The distribution of the radioligand 18FDG in different organs also provided evidence that the parathymic lymph nodes are the primary sites of metastatic tumor growth. Tumor growth was followed after staining sections of biopsies of normal, tumorous kidneys and parathymic lymph nodes embedded in paraffin. The progression of tumor formation was seen as a frontline between the healthy and tumor bearing tissue. This demarcation line was sharp at the beginning of the invasion and at the peripheral regions of the tumor, while the central region infiltrated into the healthy kidney tissue. The initial invasion gradually turned to an infiltration resulting in the disruption of the renal tissue, especially at the periphery. Accumulation of lipids and flow of blood to the lymphatic vessels was due to the lack of angiogenesis, leading to an increased pressure of the interstitial fluid. Interstitial damage ultimately led to the appearance of blood and the growth of tumor cells in parathymic lymph nodes. The kidney capsule-parathymic lymph node complex is proposed as a suitable metastatic model for the isolated in vivo examination of tumor development and for the analysis of secondary tumors.

TRURO - Sweet 16 indeed.
Krystal Reynolds won't forget her milestone birthday anytime soon, especially since the Truro teen got to celebrate it with a championship as her Truro All-Star Cheerleading Company Senior 2 squad won its division title Sunday at the Cheer Nova Scotia Provincial Championships at RECC.
"It feels amazing, Reynolds, a co-captain with the squad, said afterward. "We're from Truro and it was at home and my family was here and they don't normally get to come to competitions."
The victory was part of a larger celebration by the club at the two-day event, the first competition hosted in Truro in four years. As it has all season, TACC made its mark with three of its five squads claiming division titles.
Along with the Senior 2s, who won five of the six events they've entered this season, the Truro Tigers kept their perfect record on the provincial scene intact with their fourth title in the Small Youth Level 1 division. The Truro Leopards finished atop the Youth Level 2 category for their fourth win in five appearances.
"We worked really hard all year, so it feels really good to get first," Kyra Shearer, a 10-year-old member of the Tigers, said.
Truro's Senior 4.2 team, which had four wins in five events going into the weekend, finished in the runner-up spot in its division while the Truro Cheetahs came home fourth in the Large Youth Level 1 group. They posted five victories this season.
Truro club owner and head coach Mary Gonzales said she was thrilled with her team's performances at the event, which attracted about 2,000 people each day.
"I was really happy with our results," she said. "It was a good day."
The event had been one the Truro athletes had been looking forward to all season. Typically the club's teams must travel at least an hour to compete during the provincial competition season, which runs from January to May. With many of those events being two days, the trips also typically involve overnight stays, making it tough to continually have extended family members join the athlete to take in events.
"I think it was special for all of our teams to compete regardless of where they finished," Gonzales said. "Just to be able to compete at home in front of their families and friends, it was nice for them to have the opportunity to be here in front of their home crowd."
It was also part of what helped the Truro teams cap one of the best season's in the club's history.
"We got to have extra people in the stands and we were excited about that", Leopards captain Kloey Newby said.
Holly Gogan, a co-captain with Reynolds on the Senior 2 squad, agreed, adding the hometown crowd gave the team a bit of a boost.
"They were a lot louder than other competitions we go to and we really fed off that," she said.
The teams used that energy to lay down clean routines.
"That's all they needed to do," Gonzales said. "They had the difficulty and skill in their routine, they just had to execute and they did."
Gogan said the results are a sweet payoff for the effort the athletes, coaches and parents have put in this season. Truro teams had been working hard all year with the knowledge they would be hosting provincials at the end of the season.
"The whole year we worked for this weekend and now we've got it and it's amazing."
Gonzales said the event went off without a hitch and said she hopes it won't be another four years before the club hosts another event.
"There were a lot of unknowns going in because it had been four years, but things worked out really well.
