- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs such as SU5416 may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without SU5416 in treating soft tissue sarcoma.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without SU5416 in treating patients who have stage IB or stage IIA soft tissue sarcoma.
|Drug: semaxanib Procedure: conventional surgery Radiation: radiation therapy
|Phase 1 Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Randomized Phase I/II Study Of Preoperative Radiotherapy With/Without SUGEN 5416 (NSC # 696819; A TK Inhibitor Anti-Angiogenesis Compound) In The Management Of Low To Intermediate Grade Soft Tissue Sarcoma Of The Trunk or Extremity
|Study Start Date:
|August 2001
|Study Completion Date:
|October 2003
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of SU5416 when combined with neoadjuvant radiotherapy in patients with stage IB or IIA soft tissue sarcoma.
- Determine the antiangiogenic effects of SU5416 in these patients.
- Determine any synergistic antiangiogenic effect of SU5416 with radiotherapy in these patients.
- Compare the disease-free survival, local recurrence, distant metastases, and overall survival rates in patients treated with neoadjuvant radiotherapy with or without SU5416.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study of SU5416 followed by a phase II randomized study.
Phase I:
- Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks. Patients also receive SU5416 IV over 1 hour twice weekly beginning on week 1 and continuing until 2 days before surgery.
- Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of SU5416 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Phase II:
- Once the MTD has been determined, additional patients are accrued and then randomized to receive either treatment as in phase I at the MTD vs preoperative radiotherapy alone.
All patients undergo surgical resection 70-80 days after beginning therapy. Patients with positive surgical margins receive additional radiotherapy daily for 8 days and SU5416 IV over 1 hour on days 2, 4, and 9.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 18 patients will be accrued for phase I of this study within 1 year. Approximately 28 patients will be accrued for phase II of this study.

Transportations projects account for about $25 million of the $57.6 million, 2011 SPLOST list. Newton County and Covington recently approved their final transportation lists. See all of the proposed projects below.
The 2011 SPLOST would provide the recreation department with $1 million to repair and upgrade various parks. The board of the Newton County Recreation Commission recently approved a list of proposed repairs:
This is the third part in our Sunday SPLOST series leading up to the SPLOST special election on March 15. Today's story will examine six of the larger projects included in the 2011 SPLOST list, and tell you why officials believe they're needed.
This is the second part in our Sunday SPLOST series leading up to the SPLOST special election on March 15. Today's story will look back at the $58.8 million, 2005 SPLOST approved by voters and detail how that money was spent. We'll also look at how the 2011 SPLOST was compiled, get answers as to whether it should have been handled differently and briefly look at how other counties prepare for their SPLOSTs.
Supporters of SPLOST point to the fact that non-residents pay sales tax, and; therefore, contribute to Newton County projects. The opposition isn't sold on the entire list and some simply want to end a tax that they can actually control.

The aim of the Historic Core Zone in Bradford on Avon is to 'rebalance the relationship between pedestrians and vehicles and to reduce the dominance and intimidation of traffic'.
This is how the initiative has developed...
2008: Taming the Traffic survey tried to establish solutions to traffic problems.
2009: Priority for People initiative suggested Historic Core Zone in the town centre.
2010: Bradford on Avon Area Board gave its support to HCZ, and Wiltshire Council adopted the project.
2013: Public consultation on phase one of the plans Plans: Increasing pedestrian footway space and reducing carriageway widths, ramps to reduce traffic speed, five 'courtesy' crossings in place of the Market Street zebra crossing, decluttering' the street by removing yellow lines and unnecessary signs.
2014: Traffic Regulation Order for a Restricted Parking Zone within the HCZ (published in today's Wiltshire Times) allows a four-week consultation period in which comments can relate to any area of the HCZ's first phase.
The final proposals for the first phase of the scheme, together with the results of the consultation, will be put to Bradford on Avon Town Council and the Community Area Board.
If they endorse the scheme for implementation, then cabinet member for highways, Cllr John Thomson, will be invited to approve the budget and the scheme will go ahead.

And I think you are making the mistake I did that time. Have you tried creating helper/auxillary functions? If not then don't hesitate to create them as described in as early as section 3. From my HtDP experience, I've figured out that the template only provides you with the "general structure" of the main function. It does not forbid you to create helper functions. And if I remember properly, you're going to create a whole legion of helper functions. But, of course, that is just an answer and not the answer. (When creating helper functions, I find it easier to decompose the problem first in a pseudocode. That's when I realize what the "logical divisions" of my task are. For each logical division, I create one helper function.) You took your dog for a walk earlier? That's good thinking. The beginner's mind is a fresh place to come from.

Rapsody – "Illuminaughty (Chinchilla)" (Prod. By 9th Wonder) [LISTEN]
Rapsody isn't letting up in these closing days of the year. She's going to make sure she's heard, as the Internets receive a new record from her titled "Illuminaughty (Chinchilla)."
The North Carolina has another quality track in the can with 9th Wonder. Here, she flexes her lyrical prowess over a menacing beat with a mean bass line. "When you realize you're superwoman, above the average/ I'm a poet baby, laureate, don't relate to ratchet," she rhymes.
But this isn't where the potent lines end. Rapsody laced her verse with tons of layered quotables for listeners to peel back and analyze.
"Illuminaughty (Chinchilla)" was preceded by another track by Rapsody called "Betty Shabazz." Stream the cut below, and be sure to share your opinions in the comments section.

id and Bethesda have announced that all attendee registration for QuakeCon 2010 will be
handled on-site at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Texas. The new, streamlined process is stated to have been "designed to reduce the time BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Computer) attendees spend waiting to register equipment, and generally better serve all those in attendance."
QuakeCon will begin on Thursday, August 12 at 9:00am and end at noon on Sunday, August 15. The event is still free, and The Hilton Anatole is now taking room reservations through their custom QuakeCon Reservation Page and by their toll-free reservations number, 1-800-HILTONS.
The Hilton is also running a limited discount on rooms for the event. You must request the group rate for "QuakeCon 2010" or book through their QuakeCon page when making your reservation to receive the special room rate of $154.00 (single, double, triple or quad occupancy) and the special daily guest-only, self-park rate of $8. A first night's deposit on reservations is also required, though it is refundable up to 48 hours in advance of the first day of the event.
In addition to all of the tournaments, hands-on demos, contests, panel discussions, sponsor booths, and parties, QuakeCon 2010 will have a 250-seat tournament arena so that spectators can get a clear view of the top matches. For those on the go, there will also be large screens with play-by-play commentary from this year's shoutcasters to keep those on the go abreast on tournament details.
Also, due to the new partnership with Bethesda, QuakeCon attendees will also get a chance to check out some of Bethesda's upcoming offerings, including Brink, Fallout: New Vegas, and Hunted: The Demon's Forge.

Mellow Vibe Prevails At HPMA Afterparty
Photos by Matthew Keever
It had been a while since Aftermath had been to Dean's, and we were happy to find the place packed after the HPMA ceremony; near the end of last night's ceremony, Warehouse Live had nearly cleared out before it had even ended, so we were a bit worried that the afterparty would be a dud.
It wasn't.
By the time we showed up a little after 11 p.m., The Fox Derby and Spain Colored Orange had already played. Aftermath came straight from the ceremony to Dean's (after gassing up, that is), but we really wish we could have seen everyone. Nevertheless, what we did see was sincere and impressive.
As we walked in, we heard a voice that sounded a bit like heartfelt, acoustic rock and roll. It belonged to Adam Jermstad, the only artist performing at the afterparty who wasn't nominated this year.

An Evening With Justin Furstenfeld Of Blue October
TicketsSat., Sep. 30, 8:00pm
Not only did we thoroughly enjoy Jermstad's performance, but we talked to him for a bit and found out that his producer is none other than Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey. Jermstad has the intention of forming a band in town, but for the past few years has performed as a solo artist.
"I came to Houston to start a band," he said. "I moved to Houston a little over two years ago; it gets a bad vibe [from music critics], but maybe it's not such a bad place."
Coming from Austin, Jermstad has been both disappointed a lot of the time but then pleasantly surprised by many "cool spots."
"I needed to take a breath; I needed a break," he said. "And then I came here, and it was really nice. Honestly, there's some really cool communities and a lot of artist cooperation, but when anything gets too saturated, it gets really hard. And I think you're going to have more success with somewhere like Houston, where you have room to breathe artistically."
Jermstad hopes to have a band formed by next year's HPMAs. "The goal is absolutely to do a full-band thing," he said. "Unfortunately, a lot of people don't necessarily listen to the acoustic guy."
He smiled and laughed, perhaps somewhat defeated.
"The feel (of a show) is what's important to me," he said. "I want it to be an emotional thing, I want it to be a genuine thing more than this-sound or that-chord. And any band that I would be in would have to be something a little more... personal."
Since he's got the talent, the looks and his heart is in the right place, Aftermath wouldn't be too surprised to see Jermstad playing - or at the very least nominated for something - next year's HPMAs.
2 Dollar Sound
Before 2 Dollar Sound took the stage, we ran into the band's bassist, the Wedge, washing his face in the restroom. He admitted to being drunker than he planned to be right before their performance. But he performed like a champ and impressed long-time fans and new listeners alike.
"I've never really won anything," said vocalist Moji. "In fact, I've never won anything, so this is amazing."
For most of the night, at least 40 percent of the crowd was outside conversing and smoking, but at 12:45 a.m., when Ellypseas took the stage, everyone in the crowd came inside and stayed inside for the duration of their performance.
Satin Hooks were on the set list, but no one saw them all night, so when Ellypseas finished up at about 1:15 a.m., the show ended, and fans began to disperse much slower than when they left the HPMA ceremony. But then again, that may be because Dean's was still serving liquor for another 45 minutes, while Warehouse Live cut everyone off when the party ended.
Overall, the afterparty wasn't so much a party as it was a chance for the ceremony's attendees and musicians to relax without having to quit drinking. And no one got plastered and acted belligerent, which, as a regular concertgoer, was a nice change of pace. So we're all for it.

Dropbox is not a backup solution. It replicates whatever folder you choose as your Dropbox folder to your computer so basically you are duplicating your external drive on your internal hard drive. That is why it is now full.
yep. Its there.
I am in the process of backing up the internal drive and external drive to BackBlaze. If I get rid of files that I have stored on DropBox that should alleviate problems with the start up drive being too full? Is the start up drive the same drive as the Macintosh HD??

We all strive for the perfect roast chicken — juicy meat and a perfectly browned, crunchy exterior. This recipe combines parsley, cilantro, tarragon, dill, garlic, olive oil and chopped walnuts — a mixture that is rubbed over and under the skin, sealing in flavor. The chicken is basted with its own drippings, creating that crispy skin everyone craves.

Kakamora Caves - mystery of the dwarf people
Main characteristics
|-10.4164 S 161.5746 E (very approximate, wild guess)
|194 (list of all attractions)
|Caves, Cryptozoology
|Archaeology, Unexplained, Geology
|Australia and Oceania, Solomon Islands, Makira - Ulawa Province, central part of Makira Island
|Alternate names:
|Kakangora Caves, Pawpawronga Caves, Caves of Oranggo
Makira Island (earlier - San Cristobal) is sparsely populated, jungle covered island - possibly the wildest large Solomon Island. Most people here live in coastal villages. The rugged rainforest in the interior part of the island is virtually free of human influence - there are stories about some tribes still living there and even about the cannibalism traditions still alive there - but these as well could be just legends.
Weird creatures of the jungle
There are though other exciting tales, which often seem to represent something more than just legends: the tales about kakamoras in the central part of Makira.
According to these stories kakamoras are small creatures similar to people - but by far not ordinary people. They are very small - some are 1.4 m tall (such kakamoras are more characteristic for the other Solomon Islands), but on Makira they are especially small - just a bit over 15 centimetres large.
Kakamoras go naked and have dark skin (but some are white), small teeth, long hair up to shoulders and even up to knees. Some say that whole body of kakamora is hairy. Their nails are very long and very sharp.
These small creatures are told to be extremely strong - as strong as 3 - 4 men - and men in Solomon Islands are not weaklings at all. Nevertheless they can be easily wounded - their weak spots are buttocks. Kakamoras reportedly have disgusting odor.
Crude tricksters
Kakamoras speak unintelligable language, they are timid and shy and in general considered harmless. But they may become very dangerous to stray children or other lonely travellers.
Legends tell that they might start beating one of their own tribesman and he would weep like a child. Traveller would think that there is a lost child in the jungle and would look for it. Finally traveller gets lost and hears kakamoras sitting high in the trees and mocking him. There might be much worse ending - kakamoras may attack and stab with their sharp nails and eat their victim. There are also stories about unsuccessful attempts of kakamoras to steal children from villages.
But if a lonely traveller feels that kakamoras are bothering him, it is enough to wave a white cloth and all these creatures are terryfied and run away.
Dancing in the moonlight
Kakamoras supposedly live in remote limestone caves in the interior of Makira. More stories are from the western part of the island - Arosi land. They eat nuts, fruits and are especially fond of possums.
These forest creatures can not make fire themselves - but are not too afraid of fire either. They have been noticed stealing firebrands from the fires made by humans and playing with them.
They seem to have also a queen or king. Kakamoras are bending low, when running. But at the same time they are seen dancing - groups of kakamoras have been seen dancing in moonlight or also in heavy rain. Some tell that they are even singing.
There is a popular traditional dance - play in Solomon Islands, imitating a legendary dance of kakamoras. Supposed kakamoras are dancing in accompaniment of dull notes of conch shell. Suddenly canoe people arrive across the waters and small people of trees are running in panic.
Local people not always are eager to tell stories about kakamoras and even less - to show the supposed places where they live. Often this issue is considered to be tambu - taboo, and, of course, many people just consider this to be a nonsense not worth talking about.
There are though heard legendary stories about some kakamoras captured by especially skilled hunters. Those who manage to capture them, might get magical powers from kakamoras.
Aborigines of Makira?
According to legends, kakamora were living on Makira when people (e.g. current Melanesians) came here. Kakamora then retreated to mountains without any serious resistance.
Similar stories are heard in many other islands of Melanesia - other Solomon islands, New Britain. Several groups of small people still live in New Guinea, Flores and other locations of this region.
Thus it is possible that legends about kakamora refer to a tribe of such small people, living here before the coming of current Melanesians. As the time passed, they turned into mythical beings in the tales of Bauro, Arosi and other local people.
Are kakamoras still living?
Most researchers and also many local people consider that kakamora is just another invention in the rich collection of Solomon Islands fairy tale characters.
There are though stories which let to believe that there is something more than imagination:
Makira islanders have noticed that sightings of kakamoras almost ended in the early 20th century, when many local people obtained firearms. Firearms were forbidden around 1920 and in a few months time there came first reports about sightings of kakamoras - they again were stealing fruits in gardens and seen near villages.
At this time many villagers believed that this is just a matter of time when kakamora would be caught and shown to white people. Many expected that they will receive large financial reward for this and were combing the forests in the search of mythical beings.
There are no known sightings of kakamora by Europeans, but at least one - Charles Elliot Fox (he described this in his book "The Threshold of the Pacific", 1924) - saw traces of these small people. He was travelling through the western part of Makira with a group of Arosi people. One of locals, who was going ahead of the group, saw kakamora in a river they were going to ford. As the group reached this river, Fox found raw, half-eaten fish and few small, wet footprints on a dry stone in the river.
Most frequent reports about the sightings of kakamoras came from western Makira, Arosi land. Even in the mid-1970s Arosi people reported about a kakamora caught by their hunters. It escaped after several days.
Legends of Makira people show: it is very possible that the limestone caves in the central part of island really may hide interesting evidence of the past of Solomon Islands.

WASHINGTON - The Federal Reserve's new boss, Ben Bernanke, has the same concern as the old boss - that inflation could flare up. So interest rates are likely to move higher.
Bernanke, at his first meeting as Fed chairman, boosted borrowing costs to a five-year high. In doing so, Bernanke stuck to the script written by his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, who had run the central bank for 18 1/2 years.
Wrapping up a two-day meeting Tuesday, Bernanke and his Fed colleagues struck a mostly positive tone, saying the economy "rebounded strongly" in the January-to-March quarter from an end-of-year lull.
Prosecutors rest in Enron fraud trial
HOUSTON - Federal prosecutors rested their fraud and conspiracy case Tuesday against former Enron Corp. chiefs Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling and dropped four counts against them to streamline an already complicated case.
The defendants appeared undaunted after almost two dozen witnesses bolstered the government's claim that they committed crimes at the energy trading company before it sought bankruptcy protection in December 2001.
Their defense teams will begin presenting their case in the premier trial to emerge from Enron's rubble on Monday.
Lay and Skilling will enter the defense phase a little lighter because U.S. District Judge Sim Lake approved a government request to drop several charges against them for which it had presented no evidence. Two counts of securities fraud and one count of lying to auditors pending against Skilling were dropped, leaving 28 criminal counts against him; and a single count of securities fraud against Lay was dropped, leaving six in his case.

Beautiful earrings. My Leo friend loved her gift :)

I got a lovely note with my item and they arrived in a timely fashion. These earrings are just as beautiful in person and I've already received lots of compliments on them. Very happy with my purchase.
Creating handmade, small-batch jewelry to last a lifetime
ElisabethSpace Jewelry was born out of a desire to create with the stones, rocks, and minerals I've loved since I was a child. After coming home from an impromptu visit to my first bead show back in 2005, I found myself with a heap of beautiful stones, but no knowledge of what to do with them - buying stones for their inherent beauty seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to me. After staring at the beads and rocks for 3 months, I decided to try to cobble something together, hoping it wouldn't fall apart while wearing it. As luck would have it, that first necklace was a success (one that I still wear to this day, pictured above) and I was hooked. Even though I never assumed this would be my life's path, I've been fortunate enough to be my own boss for a little while now, focusing on jewelry and the inner-workings of a small business, day in and day out.
The metal tumbler & soldering pickle pot (yes, that's a thing!) might get left out on the kitchen counter and what was once a dining room is now my chaotic studio. I feel fortunate that my home life and work life are so visibly, deeply intertwined, allowing me to never forget how grateful I am for being able to do what I do on a daily basis.
Follow me on Instagram & Twitter for peeks at works in progress. I love connecting with my buyers! Feel free to hashtag any images of you and one of my creations with #elisabethspace so I can see the piece being worn in its new natural habitat.

Kids today have plenty to worry about, from cyberbullying to getting into a good college to how much Axe body spray is too much. But after superstorm Sandy last year, Peyton Robertson had other things on his mind. The Fort Lauderdale 11-year-old recently captured the title of America's 2013 Top Young Scientist after winning the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. How? He built a better sandbag. "Living in Florida, I'm keenly aware of hurricanes and saltwater flooding," he told NBC News. His Sandless Operational Sandbag (SOS) is filled with a mixture of salt and an expandable polymer. When dry, it is lightweight, easy to move and easy to store. Once the bag is positioned, users hose it down with water. The polymer absorbs the water, swells and fills the volume of the bag. Peyton tested the bags in the bathtub and a kiddie pool, where they easily outperformed traditional sandbags. Super! Now, if he's not too busy auditioning for Shark Tank, can we put this kid on the Obamacare website problem?
Genius? It's in the (sand)bag

Crafty Vaporizer Review by Mr. Puff | Storz and Bickel Crafty Vaporizer ReviewPosted October 18 2014
The Official Crafty Vaporizer Review Video
Wizard Puff is proud to be an official retailer of the Crafty and Mighty Vaporizers by Storz & Bickel!
Crafty Vaporizer Official Review
The Crafty Vaporizer represents the very best the industry has to offer and is simply put, the best portable vaporizer available, period.
Absolutely discreet, convenient and effective... the Crafty Vaporizer is a true symbol of Storz & Bickel's world class german engineering.
Every single feature of the Crafty Vaporizer's design has been thought out and meticulously executed with flawless manufacturing techniques.
The Crafty Vaporizer features a super rugged medical grade plastic construction while being ultra lightweight.
The plastic grooves offer exceptional grip to the user and its shape is ergonomically tapered as well.
Filling, cleaning and operating the device is absolutely simple and intuitive.
Vapor Quality / Herb Efficiency
The Crafty & Mighty Vaporizers offer the most efficient herb usage I have ever experienced in a portable vaporizer.
Draw resistance is next to none (thanks to the german's great bowl design) and is incredibly enjoyable.
The Crafty App works flawlessly and allows the user to start vaping low and end hot.
Herb Efficiency is outrageous, even better than the FlowerMate V5.0S!
The size is right and the operation is effortless, too bad battery life wasn't just a little better.
You should definitely purchase an external battery bank for your Crafty as it only offers around 40-45mins of vaping time on a full charge.
Other than that, the Crafty is discreet, super effective and stupidly portable.
This Crafty is designed so well that you should see yourself using everyday, no joke.
Not to mention the App is not a gimmick, it rocks.
4.5/5 (You should buy an external battery, 40-45mins isn't enough for most)
$399 is incredibly steep for a portable vaporizer.
One has to ask themselves, is the Crafty Vaporizer really four times better than the game changing $100 FlowerMate V5.0S?
My answer is no, however, the price you pay for the Crafty Vaporizer is the premium to own a product that is (in my opinion) undisputedly the very best available. The FlowerMate V5.0S is like a Honda Civic. The Crafty is a Lambo.
Both get you perfectly fine from Point A to Point B... You get the idea.
3.5/5 (Not the best value, but the very best)
Final Verdict
If you're serious about portable vaporization and have the budget to justify the purchase,
I promise you that you will absolutely not be disappointed.
This vaporizer is absolutely incredible and has set the new standard in the industry.
- Mr. Puff
The designers at Storz & Bickel really did think of everything...

Maxime Chin purposely made her pitch for more pay by voice mail, calling human resources on a Sunday afternoon when she knew no one would answer. She practised what she was going to say, and made notes so she wouldn't forget. "I was very nervous," says Chin, a mechanical engineering student in Vancouver. Her case was strong. She had co-op experience with the oil and gas company, and rave reviews from her boss. When the job offer came, she stalled: "Most students just say yes, right away. I told them I would think about it." She used the time to do her research, confirming the typical salary and seeking the advice of experienced female engineers. Then she left her message, and waited. "If you can have a vision in front of you of what your worth is," she says, "you have the confidence to go out there and ask for what you deserve."
It's not just her first paycheque that's at stake. While recent statistics show that gender wage differences for educated women have substantially narrowed at entry level, it widens as their careers progress. Studies have found that young women have lower salary expectations than their male peers, and expect to wait longer for promotions. With a well-executed counter-offer, Chin may have pre-emptively narrowed the gender wage gap and advancement prospects that continues to disadvantage women, especially those in male-dominated fields.
"If you start low, it is hard to catch up," says Dr. Elizabeth Croft, an engineering professor at the University of British Columbia who conducts an annual workshop on negotiating salaries for her female students. At the seminar, she points out that women often accept lower salaries – a decision that has an impact on subsequent raises – and are more reluctant to demand promotions that force employers to recognize the value of their work.
Economists call this the "negotiating divide," and cite it as a contributing factor to the persistent gender wage gap – despite the "binders full" of highly educated women launching careers and the fretful foretelling of the "End of Men." New research is exploring the role that salary expectations and reticent job bargaining play in women's wages, as well as a shortage of mentors to set the record straight. Meanwhile, there are still records to be settled: Last fall, a group of female employees finally won a decades-old dispute about fair wages with Canada Post, even as Conservatives passed federal legislation limiting the right for women to sue employers.
The OECD has given Canada middling ratings when it comes to wage equity, and a report released this week by the World Economic Forum on the "global gender gap" saw Canada slip out of the top 20 in a list of 135 countries. It's an alarming result for a nation that prides itself on one-year maternity leave and female-dominated universities, but also somewhat misleading: The most disconcerting finding was the comparative lack of female politicians in leadership roles, but Canada actually ranked 12th in economic opportunities for women, and had high scores for health and education.
Compared to two decades ago, the wage gap has certainly narrowed, but there's no guarantee it will disappear with the next generation of women. As Croft observes, this isn't about one gender trampling over another: In a society of double-income families, ensuring that the Maxime Chins of the workforce get their fair share would represent a $126-billion cash infusion to Canadian households, according to a 2005 study by the Royal Bank of Canada.
These days, for educated women, the sexist boss is a more marginal player than the pressures to maintain an upwardly mobile career while making time for the kids. (It's hard to network, when the laundry and homework is still mostly a mom's responsibility.) It's often cited that women in Canada earn 72 cents for every dollar that a man earns, but that figure is based on annual salaries, lumps full and part-time workers together, and buries the more challenging reality for lower-income women. When hourly wages are compared, accounting for the fact that women often work fewer hours than men, the gender gap shrinks to about 85 cents. Women's salaries are also influenced by the occupations they choose. In health care for instance, where women dominate, the wage gap is 98 cents on the dollar; it remains wider in traditionally male fields such as engineering, partly because women, having only recently entered those occupations in large numbers, are clustered at entry-level jobs. The narrowing gender gap is also due to the fact that with the decline of manufacturing jobs, men tend to earn less. Still, the pattern remains: While new graduates start out equally, a study by Ottawa University economist Ross Finnie found that, between two and five years, the gender wage gap had widened again.
But that's where economists such as Nicole Fortin, at the University of British Columbia, suggest the "negotiation divide" comes into play. "Men tend to be overconfident and boast about their ability, and women might be more shy," shes says, suggesting the pattern takes root from early job experiences, when young women have traditionally taken low-paying jobs. It may be that young women start with a lower "reservation wage" – the amount at which they feel a job is no longer worth their time – and that follows them into adulthood. That's why she says parents and schools should do more to teach young women about salary expectations and job bargaining, suggesting stronger negotiation skills could reduce the gap by as much as 5 per cent. After all, a reticence to demand what's fair has a bottom-line impact, especially as an increasing number of women earn more than their husbands.
Wondering how Maxime Chin made out? Three days later, the company confirmed an 8-per-cent salary increase. What's more, she received a written clarification of her benefits, including a guarantee that her job was safe if she were to take maternity leave. "I am aware of my potential," she says. Next time, she won't make that point by voice mail.Report Typo/Error

CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga. - It's been more than two decades since we've seen snow fall in Jacksonville back in 1989. Now, we're looking at the possibility of snow in Southeast Georgia.
People in that area could be dealing with freezing rain as this arctic chill pushes through.
Monday, officials in Camden County got together some preliminary plans and they're making final preparations Tuesday. People who live in the area began bracing for it Monday, too.
"If it comes, I'll be ready for it," said Debra Dougherty.
Dougherty chose to hit the grocery store early, making sure she and her two children were prepared for the possibility of freezing rain and ice.
"It's always good to stock up, having wood for the fireplace," said Dougherty.
All across Southeast Georgia, people were starting to get ready for the big freeze.
County officials and the Department of Transportation say they'll be finalizing their contingency plans Tuesday as well.
"We are covering 24 counties in Southeastern Georgia. We are really gearing up for ice and snow so we have our trucks equipped with snow plows. We've got salt and snow spreaders and we are prepared to be on the road if need be, all night tomorrow night," said Jill Nagel with the Georgia Department of Transportation.
The GDOT said 300 employees will be on call covering nearly 7,000 miles of road. They'll be equipped with 200 tons of salt and more than 4,000 tons of gravel, 12 snow plows and 40 other pieces of equipment.
The Camden County Sheriff's Office is also keeping a close eye on this storm.
A spokesman for the department says they'll be in contact with the school board today to determine if school needs to be delayed or cancelled.

Skelton is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of the City of York, in North Yorkshire, England. It is 4 miles (6.4 km)north northwest of York city centre, west of Haxby, and on the east bank of the River Ouse. Skelton was in the ancient royal Forest of Galtres which covers 977.3 hectares (3.77 square miles). Skelton was made a conservation area in 1973.
The village name probably began as the Anglo-Saxon 'Shelfton' – 'the settlement on high ground'– becoming the present 'Skelton' under the invading Danes. The village, along with nearby Overton, is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 1640.
Prior to 1996 it had been part of the Ryedale district. Before the nationwide municipal reorganization of 1974, Skelton was part of Flaxton Rural District. Historically, it was an ecclesiastical parish in the Bulmer Wapentake.

Farrow & Ball Estate No.205 Skylight - Eggshell Paint - 750ml is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best Paint in the World. Pity about Homebase I have used Farrow and Ball paints for decades and wouldn't use any other for my 400-year old cottage. At one time, Homebase would let you order the unusual colours and they would be delivered free to your local branch. Now they let you spend hours and hours on line, having ordered the paint, only to find that it not longer does that, and that the unusual colours are at no branch whatsoever. So youhave to pay for the postage. Not a good service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Lovely paint - fabt colour This paint is quite expensive but worth every penny as (I am told) it went on like a dream and looks really beautiful. The end result (using 2 coats) is a lovely blue-grey. I used it on my bedroom and it is a perfect colour for a bedroom or study. I kept the ceiling and bulk head white so you can see the contrast between the skylight colour and the white. Really nice - would definitely recommend.

Tiger Woods' Alleged Mistress Arrested
Jaimee Grubbs, one of Tiger Woods' first exposed mistresses, adds to her reputation with a stint in jail.
-Faye Brennan
If you didn't already know that Jaimee Grubbs isn't a classy girl (maybe it was her missing tooth that clued you in), perhaps this latest development will convince you.
Tiger Woods' alleged mistress was arrested in West Hollywood yesterday on three outstanding warrants. The 24-year-old apparently couldn't resist the urge to drive, even though her license was suspended.
Read Creepy New Tiger Woods Ad
Her bail is set at $30,309. We wonder if she can scrounge up the money from her cocktail waitressing tips plus whatever's left over from her shameless Maxim photo shoot.
Boy, a mega rich sports star boyfriend who has a wife would so come in handy right now. (TMZ)

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited condition in
which numerous polyps (growths that protrude from mucous membranes) form on the
inside walls of the colon and rectum. Having FAP makes it very likely that a person will get colorectal cancer.
People with FAP develop polyps in their 20s and 30s or even earlier. They may have hundreds to thousands of polyps throughout the colon by their 30s. Surgery to
remove the colon (colectomy) is the recommended treatment, because FAP almost
always develops into colon cancer.
The gene mutation that causes FAP can be detected by a genetic screening blood test. If the test result is positive, immediate family members should also be screened. Yearly screening with sigmoidoscopy beginning at age 10 or 12 is recommended. After polyps are found, surgery to remove the colon (colectomy) should be done to prevent colon cancer.

While she was growing up in the home she shared with her grandparents who raised her, Sharon E. Scott felt that the gospel singer Mahalia Jackson was living right there in their midst.
"I always felt like Mahalia was in our house," Scott said. "In our house, we had a picture of Martin Luther King Jr., JFK and in the center was Jesus. But on the record player was Mahalia."
Scott, an actor and singer familiar to St. Petersburg stages, speaks admiringly not only about Jackson's talent but of the woman she was and how she touched Scott's life. It seems only fitting that Scott wrote a play about Jackson's life and songs, titled Just As I Am, the Life, the Times, the Voice of Mahalia Jackson. It features songs such as How I Got Over, Didn't It Rain and This Little Light of Mine.
The play, directed by Bob Devin Jones, will run on a limited basis through Oct. 25 at the Studio@620 in St. Petersburg.
Mahalia Jackson passed away in 1972, but her story should not be lost, said Scott, who recently spoke with the St. Petersburg Times before an afternoon rehearsal of the show. Here's an excerpt of the interview.
How did Mahalia inspire you?
She's always been a part of my life. Not only am I a round, brown woman who can sing, but I'm also a round, brown woman whose grandfather was a minister, as was Mahalia's. There are a lot of similarities between us. The story that's most prevalent is that on Sundays my grandmother would get up before the sun was up to make dinner. She would always put on a Mahalia Jackson record. I would hear her in the kitchen, singing.
Tell me a about the show.
It is a two-person show. My acting partner in this production is Steve Garland, who is stellar, fabulous and magnificent. The way I've structured the show, the female is Mahalia. The male character is Everyman. … The character Steve plays is a composite of Louis "Studs" Terkel, her friend for more than 30 years; her first vocal coach; a motorcycle trooper; and the voice of her grandfather. He is Everyman. … In this economic crisis, theaters are closing left and right, and to do productions, you need small shows with big voices, and that's what this is.
How did you come up with the name?
I like being just the way I am. That's one of the reasons I called it Just As I Am, and Mahalia said that was one of her favorite songs. I liked that concept.
What is the message of the show?
Don't give up; keep going. It's not about who you are or any of those things. It's finding your passion and going for it. I think it's a great story for so many reasons. There are a lot of messages, some subtle and some overt. The most important thing is Mahalia's voice, her energy and her songs. She is incredible.

The Angelina Jolie fantasy movie took over the top spot this weekend, kicking 'Frozen' from its 16-week throne.
"Frozen (2013)" has ended its amazing reign in Japan's box office as "Maleficent" rises to the top. The former film held the top spot for four long months and was forced to give up the throne to the Angelina Jolie film after such an impressive run.
"Frozen" opened at number one in Japanese theaters on March 15 and quickly became a phenomenon in the country. Adding $1.8 million this weekend, it was the highest-grossing Disney film ever in Japan with a total of more than $240 million. The tale of two sisters is also the biggest animated movie of all time with global income of more than $1.2 billion.
As for "Maleficent", the film opened to $7.1 million in Japan, making it the year's biggest for a live-action movie in the territory. It is also the biggest bow for a Jolie title in the market. The Sleeping Beauty tale has earned up to $630 million globally.
"We've had an incredible run with 'Frozen' and it's been a terrific platform for exposing audiences to 'Maleficent'," Disney's head of distribution Dave Hollis told TheWrap. "There are some significant similarities between the films - its female-empowering message, for one - and we think it will be embraced there."
It is predicted that "Frozen" will slide down to number 3 as "Edge of Tomorrow" enters the Japanese market as well.

VATICAN CITY -- The president of the Vatican bank, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, has been placed under investigation by Italian magistrates in a money-laundering probe, the Italian state television RAI reported.
RAI, citing judicial sources, said the move followed the seizure Sept. 20 by Italian treasury police of 23 million euros (US$30 million) that had been deposited in a Rome bank account by the Vatican bank.
The Vatican expressed "bewilderment and amazement" at the legal action, saying its operations were legitimate and documented.
Last fall, Pope Benedict XVI named Gotti Tedeschi, an Italian banker and professor of financial ethics at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, as president of the Vatican bank, known formally as the Institute for the Works of Religion. The appointment was seen at the time as a move toward greater transparency in the bank's operations.
According to the RAI report, no proof of money-laundering had emerged in the probe, but investigators said the Vatican bank had failed to disclose information about banking operations as mandated by Italy's 2007 law against money-laundering. It said a second unnamed official of the bank was also under investigation.
A statement issued by the Vatican's Secretariat of State Sept. 21 said the Vatican bank was committed to "full transparency" in its operations and had been actively working for some time with Italian and international authorities to comply with procedures that ensure funds are not used for terrorism or money-laundering.
It said the necessary information on the particular banking operations being probed were readily available to investigators.
"The Holy See therefore wants to express the maximum trust in the president and director general of the IOR," the statement said.
The Vatican bank was involved in a major Italian banking scandal in the 1980s, when fraud led to the collapse of Italy's Banco Ambrosiano. Although denying wrongdoing, Vatican bank officials made what they called a "good-will payment" of about $240 million to the failed bank's creditors.
[An earlier version of this story incorrectly calculated the euro to U.S. dollar conversion. The figure $30 million in this report is correct.]

Watermelon Rind Jam
READY IN: 24hrs 15mins
Recipe by Stacia_
(Kurdistan) (Iraq)
Top Review by UmmBinat
Didn't like the texture and the taste wasn't really good. I have had Iraqi watermelon rind jam from the store and it is so yummy. The rind I used was pretty thin, some watermelons do have thicker rind, organic cane sugar, Billy Bee liquid honey, no melon seeds as the watermelon was seedless, freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus the rest of the ingredients. Made for WELCOME TO IRAQ! July 2012
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb watermelon rind (measure after removing the green outer skin and all traces of pink)
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 1 strip lemon peel
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 melon seeds
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 whole cardamom pods
Directions See How It's Made
- Cut rind into 1/3-inch strips. Cover in cold water and bring to a quick boil. Reduce heat, and let simmer slowly until transparent, about 30 minutes.
- Drain, and reserve 1 1/2 cups of liquid.
- In a heavy pot, completely dissolve sugar in reserved liquid. Add honey and lemon peel, and bring to a boil, skimming as needed. Add drained rind and seeds and boil gently over medium heat, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside overnight.
- Boil again over medium heat, until syrup thickens, about 15 minutes. Test for doneness.
- Add lemon juice and mastic or cardamom 5 minutes before jam is done. Let jam cool completely then store in a sterilized jar.

This bed was not designed for cats. It's not a cat bed. They've just made use of an object that was already there. Turns out, evolutionary biology is chock full of this kind of thing.
In fact, there's even a word for it — spandrel. Coined by Steven Jay Gould, spandrels are phenotypic features that are useful to a plant or animal even if the feature didn't specifically evolve for that use. Basically, it's the evolutionary biology of accident. Not all of our features were specifically sought after by evolution. Some , instead, are the side effects of selection pressures directed at different parts of the body. In other cases, selection pressures shape a feature, and we end up using that feature in ways that have nothing to do with why it originally evolved. Spandrels are the antidote to overly-tidy "just so stories" about evolution and they're important to keep in mind when you read headlines that proclaim, for instance, that the human hand evolved for punching and the human head evolved to get punched.
Brian Switek explains why spandrels matter, and why the head-punching paper is a particularly egregious attempt to ignore the role spandrels play in life.
Although Morgan and Carrier focused on the bludgeoning qualities of modern human hands in their previous paper, their new review suggests that our ancient relatives and forebears – the australopithecines – had faces that were molded into punching bags by natural selection. No sooner did humans come out of the trees, Morgan and Carrier suggest, than they started whaling away on each other. The trouble is that they undercut their own hypothesis, leaving only a crumpled heap of speculation.
Citing crime statistics from western countries, Morgan and Carrier write that fistfights often result in broken noses, jaws, and other facial bones. Therefore, they reason circularly, prehistoric humans that punched each other in the face should have more robust facial bones to cope with such blows. Given that early humans Australopithecus and Paranthropus – the latter often called "robust australopithecines" – had broad faces with wide cheeks and thick brow ridges, they're obviously perfect candidates for Morgan and Carrier's favored interpretation.
Morgan and Carrier didn't study whether or not the hands of the early australopithecines could form a fist. Their previous work was on our species, Homo sapiens. Nor did they look for signs of broken facial bones or blunt-force trauma on prehistoric skulls, or even try to model how early human skulls would have reacted to the stresses of an incoming fist. The entire argument is simply that australopithecine skulls look like they could take a punch.

My phone won't turn on. I have had the common problem where the key pad turns on and it vibrates but nothing shows up on the screen. I updated and fixed it and have had no trouble since. But that was around 2 years ago. Now it does nothing when i push the power button. I was taking some pictures and after one of the pictures the screen went black. The phone was still on and the back light for the LCD was still lit. it appeared to freeze when it was saving the picture. I removed the battery and put it back in. Now i get nothing. The camera lends is stuck open. Does anyone know what it could be? I know this phone is pretty old but i'm happy wit it :)
Thanks all!

The weather in Texas just can't seem to make up its mind. Today it is drizzling ice, but earlier this week, the sun was still shining. Today's Fashionisto looks great while adding a layer of warmth (albeit a thin one) in a vest. This Fashionisto picked out an outfit for less severe weather, but there is a style lesson here that can be applied in situations ranging from nippy to outright freezing.
A vest is a garment that has different meanings around the world. Most commonly, a vest is considered a sleeveless under-jacket (although vest styles are now commonly worn as an outer-most layer) that covers the upper body. Whether you don a formal one as part of a three-piece suit, a fringed one for some southwest flair, a leather one to add edge or a puffer-style for a ski trip, a vest can really make your outfit. Vests excel as a means of breaking a look up. Any garment you layer can serve as a tool to mix colors, patterns and textures. A vest, however, does it in a really unique way that allows your first layer to still show. The resulting effect is visually cohesive. This look is popular right now. It can be achieved, not only achieved with a vest, but also in a different form. You have probably seen a lot of mixed media jackets online and in stores, such as this or this. Options for males include this or this from Forever 21.
Vests are generally valued for their utility, whether protecting from bullets, climate or any other extremities. Vests boast other perks, such as less constriction on one's arms and increasing mobility. Sometimes vests are just a clever way to add some pockets. Other times, vests can add a punch of color when the splash provided by a tie or scarf just isn't enough. To further illustrate this point, use your imagination to delete the gray vest from this Fashionisto's outfit. The remaining outfit of a gingham button-down with solid, neutral slacks is still good, but the look is a modicum less interesting. Not to mention, the Fashionisto in this situation is a few degrees colder. Check out how to recreate this look with eBay here.
Hint: Certain vests really look best suited for winter, while other styles of vests are easier to pull off year-round. Examples are a vest in classic black leather or a denim vest. Challenge yourself to find a warm way to wear a thinner vest now for a look that is unique. Try a lighter vest over a cable knit sweater or graphic sweatshirt.
