Genetic Counseling for Hereditary Cancer
Genetic Counseling for Hereditary Cancer
Genetic counseling should be an integral component of the management
of hereditary cancer. This paper will provide an overview of genetic
counseling in cancer using hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal
cancer (HNPCC) as a prototype. Our purpose will be to describe
an approach to genetic counseling that is in concert with the
genetics, natural history, surveillance, and management of HNPCC.
Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer
Hereditary colorectal cancers are exceedingly heterogeneous (Figure
1). Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectcal cancer, one subset of
these disorders, is subdivided into Lynch syndromes I and II.
Lynch syndrome I is characterized by early-onset (age, 40 years)
colorectal cancer that shows a predilection (70%) for the proximal
colon (ie, to the right of the splenic flexure) and has a high
rate of metachronous colorectal carcinoma. (In patients who undergo
less than a subtotal colectomy for the initial cancer, the rate
of metachronous cancer is approximately 45% by age 40.) The Lynch
syndrome II variant has all of the features of Lynch syndrome
I, but in addition, includes a litany of extracolonic cancers.
Foremost among these is endometrial carcinoma, followed by carcinoma
of the ovary, small bowel, stomach, and pancreas, and transitional-cell
carcinoma of the ureter and renal pelvis. The penetrance of the
HNPCC genes is about 90% [1,2].
Although HNPCC is not a polyposis disorder, affected individuals
do form colonic adenomas, and there is strong circumstantial evidence
that these adenomas are precursor lesions to malignancy.
Histologic Features
The colorectal malignancies in HNPCC do not have unique histologic
features, but some differences have been observed when large series
of HNPCC and sporadic colon cancer cases have been compared. Most
comparison studies indicate that HNPCC is more likely to produce
poorly differentiated carcinoma, coupled with an excess of mucinous
and signet-cell histologies. A small, but significant percentage
(9%) [3] of colorec tal cancers in HNPCC form solid sheets of
cells with an expanding growth pattern and a marked host lymphocytic
response-a pattern that has been referred to as "medullary
carcinoma" by Jessurun and Manivel [4]. This pattern is interesting
because it is the usual histology of sporadic colon cancers with
defective mismatch repair [5]. In turn, this immunologic response
may be responsible for the improved prognosis noted in some HNPCC
patients [6].
Molecular Genetics
Molecular genetic studies have identified germ-line mutations
in an increasingly large number of hereditary cancer syndromes
(Table 1). The genetic basis for HNPCC has been proved by genetic
linkage between cancer occurrences and chromosome 2p in some families
and chromosome 3p in other families [7,8].
Localization of a DNA mismatch repair gene in the critical region
of chromosome 2p was documented by Leach et al [9] and Fishel
et al [10] with the discovery of hMSH2 mutations in this gene
in several HNPCC families. Subsequently, a second mismatch repair
gene (hMLH1) was identified in the critical region of chromosome
3p, and mutations of that gene were found in the HNPCC families
previously linked to chromosome 3p [11,12]. Mutations in these
genes appear to account for 90% of all known HNPCC families [13].
Also, hPMS1 and hPMS2 have been demonstrated to be mismatch repair
genes in HNPCC [14].
Defective DNA mismatch repair results in a steady accumulation
of mutations. The mutation load can be detected as errors in long
tandem repeat sequences, which produce microsatellite instability.
A tumor with microsatellite instability is said to show replication
error phenotype (RER+).
Interval Cancers
Vasen et al [15] followed a cohort of 51 HNPCC families that included
394 first-degree relatives who participated in a nationwide colonoscopy
surveillance program. During mean follow-up of 5 years, these
researchers observed an unexpectedly high rate of advanced colorectal
cancers, which were diagnosed within 2 to 5 years after a negative
colon screening examination. The shortest interval between a negative
screening examination and the diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma
was 2 to 3 years (six patients).
Our experience with interval cancers has been comparable. For
example, a woman with Lynch syndrome II who had manifested endometrial
carcinoma at age 36 years underwent colonoscopies every 2 years.
Eighteen months after a normal colonoscopic evaluation, she was
diagnosed with a Duke's B1 cancer of the transverse colon and
underwent a segmental colonic resection. At that point, she insisted
on having colonoscopies every 6 months. Five months after her
most recent colonoscopy, she was found to have two primary colon
cancers-a Duke's B1 tumor in the cecum and a Duke's A lesion in
the lower rectum.
There are several possible explanations for these interval cancers:
First, lesions may have been missed at the time of colonoscopy.
Also, it is possible that the gene accelerates the progression
of adenomas, even those that are very small, to cancer. The latter
explanation is consonant with postulates of Jass et al [16] who
suggested that adenomas in HNPCC are more likely to show a villous
growth pattern with a high degree of dysplasia than are adenomas
in a necropsy series, and that these features cause the HNPCC
adenomas to undergo more rapid malignant transformation. The hypothesized
rapid progression of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence in HNPCC,
which may be as short as 2 to 3 years, is in striking contrast
to findings from the National Polyp Study, which found that the
adenoma-carcinoma sequence in the general population is about
8 to 10 years.
Another potential explanation for interval cancers in HNPCC is
that gene carriers develop "de novo" cancers [17,18].
Adenomas and Accelerated Carcinogenesis
As mentioned above, strong circumstantial evidence suggests that
adenomas are precursor lesions to malignancy in patients with
HNPCC [19-21]. Leach et al [9], however, found that the HNPCC
genes do not initiate adenoma development, but rather accelerate
adenoma evolution. In turn, Cannon-Albright et al [22] have shown
that genetic factors are responsible for proneness to develop
It is hypothesized that when adenomas do occur in patients with
HNPCC, they are more likely to progress to carcinoma than are
adenomas in the general population. In theory, the "mutator
phenotype" of HNPCC could drive the promotion of adenoma
to carcinoma, once the neoplastic process has been initiated.
The existence of "aggressive adenomas" in HNPCC is supported
by prospective surveillance studies showing a much lower adenoma-to-carcinoma
ratio than in the general population. Jarvinen et al [23], for
example, found 22 adenomas and 5 cancers in HNPCC families over
a 3-year period. In the Netherlands, 14 adenomas and 6 cancers
were discovered in a screening program of HNPCC kindreds [24],
and Jass et al [25] in New Zealand found 25 adenomas and 2 cancers.
In contrast, data from the National Polyp Study suggest that 41
to 119 polypectomies are required to prevent 1 colorectal cancer
in the general population [17,18].
Surveillance and Management Guidelines
Knowledge of the natural history and molecular genetics of HNPCC
has been useful in developing the following guidelines for surveillance
(Table 2) and management of high-risk patients:
Genetic Counseling is initiated at age 20 years.
Full Colonoscopy--We recommend that these patients undergo
full colonoscopy beginning sometime between age 20 and 25 (flexible
sigmoidoscopy is not adequate). Colonoscopy is repeated
every 2 years to age 35 and annually thereafter. If colonoscopy
expertise is unavailable, double air-contrast barium enema can
be used instead.
Endometrial Curettage should be done yearly, beginning
at age 30 years.
Ovarian Screening--Transvaginal ultrasound, Doppler color
blood flow imaging, and CA 125 determinations are all initiated
at age 30 years and are repeated annually thereafter.
Patients Who Develop Colorectal Cancer--If colorectal cancer
occurs, surgical resection must be no less than a subtotal
colectomy because the entire colonic mucosa is at risk for
malignant transformation. Women who have completed their families
at the time they manifest colorectal cancer are given the option
of undergoing a prophylactic total abdominal hysterectomy and
bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at the time of their subtotal
Prophylactic Surgery--Individuals who have germ-line mutations
(hMSH2, hMLH1, hPMS1, hPMS2) are given the option of prophylactic
subtotal colectomy or lifetime colonoscopy screening.

Belgium 2 Algeria 1

Super subs Marouane Fellaini and Dries Mertens rescued World Cup dark horses Belgium in a come from behind 2-1 win over Algeria on Tuesday.
Algeria had taken a 25th-minute lead from a penalty by Sofiane Feghouli after he had been hauled down by Jan Vertonghen.

But Fellaini, who endured a miserable, goalless season with Manchester United, levelled with a powerful header in the 70th minute.
Ten minutes later, Mertens buried the second goal to give Belgium a winning start in a Group H which also includes Russia and South Korea.
Algeria stunned the fancied Belgians after Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen wrestled livewire Valencia striker Sofiane Feghouli to the ground.

Vertonghen was yellow-carded while Feghouli held his nerve to tuck a confident penalty beyond Thibaut Courtois in the Belgium goal.
It was Algeria's first World Cup goal since 1986 and conjured up memories of their famous 1982 win over West Germany.
Belgium were poor in the first half and had to wait until the end of the first half for their first serious attempt on goal when Nacer Chadli was put clean through by Eden Hazard.
But Chadli's effort was well-saved by Rais M'bolhi.
Belgium coach Marc Wilmots, who has never lost a competitive fixture as national team coach, took off the sluggish Romelu Lukaku.
On came Divock Origi and then Fellaini and the more muscular approach paid off.
Fellaini headed in a pinpoint cross from Kevin De Bruyne's and 10 minutes later it was 2-1 as Mertens was left in too much space by the tiring Algerians and the Napoli man drove the ball home.
Another Fellaini header was tipped over by M'bolhi as Belgium finished the strongest.

PROSPECTIVE MEP candidates battled it out during a hustings at Bournemouth University last night.
Just one week before voters take to the polls for the European Parliament elections, candidates from six of the seven parties standing in the South West region took part in the Question Time style debate in front of a 100-strong crowd.
On Thursday May 22 Dorset residents will vote to elect their local Members of European Parliament (MEP) by selecting the party they wish to represent them at the European Parliament.
The county falls within the South West constituency, which has six MEPs, and covers from Cornwall to Gloucester and also includes Gibraltar.
Last night's debate, organised by students from the university's media school, largely focused on whether the UK should remain in the European Union (EU).
Other hot topics included immigration, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and reform of the EU.
Prospective MEP candidate Mark Chivers, representing the Green Party, received a round of applause for his comments regarding the UK's membership to the EU.
He said: "Too many decisions that affect our lives are made in corporate boardrooms. The EU will continue to exist if we pull out or not. Why would we not want to be there participating in the decisions that affect us."
Current MEP Ashley Fox, Conservative, used the debate to reiterate the Tories' call for "renegotiation" on EU membership.
He told the room: "I'm an optimist. If we go to our European partners and we seek a new deal I think we will get one."
The lead prospective MEP candidate for the Labour Party Clare Moody spoke of the need to remain in the Union for "protection for workers."
And UKIP's MEP prospective candidate Julia Reid received mixed reaction from the crowds with her calls for the UK to withdraw from the EU.
David Smith, MEP prospective candidate for An Independence from Europe Party, also called for the UK to withdraw from the EU and said his party wanted to scrap tuition fees.
Lib Dem prospective MEP candidate Jay Risbridger used the debate to call for expansion of the EU.
He added: "In ten years time about 30 per cent of population the will be over 65. Who is going to look after them in their care homes? Who is going to pay taxes for their pensions? I think we need more immigration."
And it was a rather embarrassing affair for Amanda Hopwood, MEP prospective candidate for the English Democrats, who repeatedly apologised to the chair as she struggled to answer questions.
Following her somewhat brief opening speech she said: "I'm sorry. I haven't prepared for this."
The British National Party is also standing for the South West region in the European Parliament elections.
The organisers of the hustings said no candidates from the BNP had been invited to attend due to the university's anti-racist policy.

TrkB receptor also known as TrkB tyrosine kinase or BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor or neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 2 (NTRK2) is a single transmembrane catalytic receptors with intracellular tyrosine kinase activity. TrkB/NTRK2 is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family. TrkB tyrosine kinase (TrkB) or NTRK2 is coupled to the Ras, Cdc42/Rac/RhoG, MAPK, PI3-K and PLCgamma signaling pathways. There are four members of the Trk family; TrkA, TrkB and TrkC and a related p75NTR receptor. Each family member binds different neurotrophins with varying affinities. TrkB/NTRK has highest affinity for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and is involved in neuronal plasticity, longterm potentiation and apoptosis of CNS neurons. Other neurotrophins include nerve growth factor(NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4. TrkB/NTRK is a membrane-bound receptor that, upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. Signalling through this kinase leads to cell differentiation. Mutations in TrkB/NTRK have been associated with obesity and mood disorders.

He just comes across as weak and bitter
Colin Kaepernick unloads on Richard Sherman
Normally reserved 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick had plenty to say today, sending some pointed words at Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.
The last we saw Kaepernick, he was throwing a game-ending interception in the NFC Championship Game, which was followed by Richard Sherman making the choke sign in his direction and then starting the post-game interview rant heard round the world.
Did that make you feel better about yourself? Then go ahead. Because Im not worried about you, Kaepernick said, via Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post.
Kaepernick had several other choice words for Sherman, including:
Hes afraid of our receivers, and thats something Im looking forward to [exploiting] next year.
If I throw that ball one foot farther, its a TD and now youre the goat, Richard Sherman.
His comments were ridiculous. If you have to tell people how good you are, then how good are you really?
Those words stand in such sharp contrast because Kaepernick usually has little to say. Unfortunately, they come after the Seahawks final player media availability of the week, meaning it will be after the Super Bowl and before every upcoming 49ers-Seahawks game before we can get a reaction.

A big fan of the Slim Shady, the 'Skyscraper' hitmaker gushes that 'anything with him would be amazing.'
Demi Lovato is aiming big for her future project. Already collaborating with Timbaland and Missy Elliott in her third studio album "Unbroken", the former Disney star is now eying for a duet with another heavyweight hip-hop artist.
"Hopefully, I can work with Eminem," the 19-year-old singer told Marc Malkin during a recent Seventeen luncheon at The Redbury hotel's Cleo restaurant in Hollywood. "He's my favorite rapper so anything with him would be amazing."
She, however, sees her goal not just as a singer who scores hit single. Her experience of going through dark days has taken it to "a whole new meaning." She explained, "Now I cherish a whole new meaning to my career, which is to be an inspiration. I think I've been given a voice for a reason."
Demi was applauded by her close friends Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez during the event. Kim wrote in a heartfelt message, "Thank you for always being a true friend, for always following your heart and for being an inspiration to me and countless other girls around the world."
"Your strength and kindness will never go unnoticed," the note was read by Seventeen's editor-in-chief, Ann Shoket. "I am looking forward to seeing you grow both personally even more and to create many more unforgettable memories together."
Selena additionally stated, "You have courage - courage to want to change to be better for yourself. The amount of respect I have for you is indescribable. You have gone through one of the hardest chapters in your life and I praise you for wanting to share that journey and walk away from it all as a better person."

Twenty-three countries, including the United States, are making preparations to take part in the Maccabiad which opens here April 2 and which is considered a world Olympiad in miniature.
The program of the Maccabiad will consist of eighteen forms of sport, embracing practically the entire Olympic program. All events will be held in the Fair grounds. The largest halls, namely the England and Palestine Pavillions, will be used for the indoor events, while in the smaller halls will be concentrated the dwellings of the athletes according to their various nationalities, with the advantage that they will be near the scene of activities.
The stadium, which was used in the first Maccabiad, has become almost useless and must be reconstructed. It is of the greatest importance that the track should be without fault. The inner space, which will be used for football, basket-ball and hockey, will be pulled down and a new stand of larger and more massive proportions will be constructed to hold 40,000.
Recently, a private company has succeeded in beginning the construction of a swimming bath in Bath Galim, at which ninety men are working in day and night shift. It will be fifty meters long and eighteen meters wide and stands will be erected at the sides to seat 5,000 spectators.
The climate of Palestine is very suitable for track events. In most other countries, the track is impossible from October until March. In Palestine, this is the most suitable period for training for track events.
The Palestinian competitors will have six months training behind them at the time of the Maccabiad. The number of fast runners in Palestine is extraordinarily large.
In Tel Aviv there are Maranz, Sussman, Feiwisevitch, Steinberg, Salvador. In Ness Siona there are Levy; in Haifa the two Chassans and Weil. Their average time is about 11.4. In the 400 meters Palestine has Peter Staffel, who has a good chance to place. Eli Katz, the Finnish long distance runner and winner of the 1924 Olympiad in Paris is staging a comeback after an interval of two years and victory is expected from him. Training is taken very seriously and a preliminary competition against a services team is being arranged to round off training.
The Maccabi of Tel Aviv have made great progress in football, thanks to the efforts of their trainer, Pollak of Vienna. Every two weeks practice games are being played between A and B teams. Shortly before the Maccabiad, matches will be played against representative teams from Egypt and Syria.
Regular practice basketball games are being played between the best twenty-two of the best players in the country.
Palestine has a very strong team, composed mainly of former Austrian and German players. The team has a very good chance of gaining a high place in the Maccabiad. In all probability, a team from India will compete, which is very interesting, as hockey in India is of very good quality. The Palestinian team is playing 'frequent matches against service teams.
Six boxers will represent Palestine, including the Polish champions, Birnbaum and Finn. During February, the Palestinian team will be matched with Syrian and Egyptian teams. Palestine is the only country to be represented at this sport.

THE Assad regime in Syria brought about Muammar Gaddafi's death by providing France with the key intelligence that led to the operation that killed him, sources in Libya have claimed.
French spies operating in Sirt, Gaddafi's last refuge, were able to set a trap for the Libyan dictator after obtaining his satellite telephone number from the Syrian government, they said.
In what would amount to an extraordinary betrayal of one Middle East dictator by another, President Bashar al-Assad sold out his fellow tyrant in an act of self-preservation, a former senior intelligence official in Tripoli said.
With international attention switching from Libya to the mounting horrors in Syria, Dr Assad offered Paris the telephone number in exchange for an easing of French pressure on Damascus, Rami El Obeidi said.
''In exchange for this information, Assad had obtained a promise of a grace period from the French and less political pressure on the regime - which is what happened,'' Mr Obeidi said.
While it was not possible to verify Mr Obeidi's allegation independently, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy played a leading role in both the NATO mission to bomb Libya and in bringing international pressure to bear on the Assad regime.
The claims by Mr Obeidi, the former head of foreign intelligence for the movement that overthrew Gaddafi, followed comments by Mahmoud Jibril, who served as prime minister in the transitional government and now leads one of Libya's largest political parties.
He confirmed at the weekend that a foreign ''agent'' was involved in the operation that killed Gaddafi, but did not identify his nationality.
But the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera quoted Western diplomats in Tripoli as saying that if a foreign agent was involved ''he was almost certainly French''. The news of the Syria deal has the potential to embarrass NATO, which initially claimed that it did ''not target individuals''.
According to the alliance's official version, a Royal Air Force reconnaissance plane spotted a large convoy of vehicles trying to flee Sirt on October 20 last year, two months after Gaddafi fled Tripoli.
NATO warplanes bombed the convoy, apparently unaware of who was in it, before militia fighters found Gaddafi hiding in a drainpipe.
He is believed to have been
killed by his captors on the way to Misrata, west of Sirt.
But Mr Obeidi said France had essentially masterminded the operation by directing Libyan militiamen to an ambush spot where they could intercept Gaddafi's convoy. He also suggested France had little interest in how Gaddafi was treated once captured, although the fighters were encouraged to try to take him alive.
''French intelligence played a direct role in the death of Gaddafi, including his killing,'' Mr Obeidi said. ''They gave directions that he was to be apprehended, but they didn't care if he was bloodied or beaten up as long as he was delivered alive.''
According to Mr Obeidi, French intelligence began to monitor Gaddafi's Iridium satellite telephone and made a breakthrough when he called two of his senior loyalists, Yusuf Shakir and Ahmed Jibril, who had fled to Syria.
A spokesman at the French foreign ministry refused to confirm or deny the claims.

The director of the state Environmental Protection Division said Tuesday that the state is readying a response to Florida's allegations that Georgia is using more than its fair share of water from the Chattahoochee River.
"You betcha we will," said Carol Couch when asked if the state would respond. "We're in preparation of that response and it will be issued at such time as the governor determines."
She said the state would be emphatic in defending Georgia's use of water.
Michael Sole, secretary of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, sent a letter last week to both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers condemning a proposal that would limit flows to the Apalachicola River, which begins at the Florida/Georgia border.
Sole criticized the plan that would help Georgia keep more drinking water during dry times in reservoirs such as Lake Lanier, calling the impact "potentially disastrous."
The letter outlined the effects of the plan on Florida's ecosystem and the oyster industry that's a large part of the economy in the area where the Apalachicola River empties into Apalachicola Bay.

Say Morgan Stanley's European equity strategists:
« We believe the fall in the oil price is set to translate into a significant boost for European corporate earnings. Energy accounts for around 10% of European earnings – and historical precedent suggest a 50% drop in the oil price should lead to a 25% fall in energy EPS. Earnings for chemicals, utilities and mining, which together account for a further 10% of European earnings, should also experience a net negative impact from lower oil prices. However, the remaining 80% of European corporate earnings should see a net boost of around 13% on our estimates, as lower material costs lead to higher gross margins. In aggregate, we estimate that even on conservative assumptions a 50% drop in the oil price should translate into a net boost of around 7% to European market-level EPS. »
And to make things clearer, here's the data:

Nature, the great British science journal, has offered the animal rights movement a new cause. "Posters that feature an endearing marmoset face peering out of a cage and a caption denouncing experiments will make for an emotionally appealing campaign," it says in an editorial.
Of course Nature, which publishes papers involving animal research in every issue, does not advocate such a campaign.
But its editorial is warning about the implications of an experiment described in this week's edition. Japanese scientists have created transgenic marmoset monkeys that glow green in ultraviolet light – and passed the added gene for green fluorescent protein (GFP) on to their offspring.
Although several research teams have tried to produce transgenic monkeys that transmit their new genes to subsequent generations, Erika Sasaki of the Central Institute for Experimental Animals in Kawasaki and Hideyuki Okano of Keio University are the first to report success.
GFP, derived originally from jellyfish, is a standard "marker gene" in molecular biology, which scientists use to demonstrate that genetic engineering has worked. While glowing green marmosets have little practical application, the experiment shows that transgenic monkeys could be important research tools for investigating human diseases, as transgenic mice already are.
The Japanese researchers transferred 80 transgenic marmoset embryos to surrogate mothers. Five healthy offspring were born, which passed the GFP gene on to their own offspring.
Dr Okano told a media briefing that the next step would be to generate transgenic monkeys that carried genes for brain disorders, starting with Parkinson's and motor neuron disease. Marmosets would be better vehicles for studying such diseases than mice because their brains are much more like those of humans.
Nature supports such research, as does the FT, so long as it offers sufficient benefits, in the form of more sophisticated "models" of human disease, and the experiments are carried out responsibly.
But the researchers must be ready to deal with the broader ethical questions involved and to be open about their use of animals. As Nature notes, that may not be easy for Japanese scientists, who freely admit their dislike of public confrontation.

This cruise is a mixed bag: Majesty of the Seas Cruise Review by 1_to_travel_on
Overall Member Rating
This cruise is a mixed bag
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
Room - I booked Superior Ocean View specifically because of the larger size. The room was just fine for the two of us. My husband is a big guy and I'm slightly over average. We had enough storage/hangers to put all our stuff up. The bathroom is okay, a bit tight, but it works. Generic shampoo/body soap in dispenser in the shower, I brought my own. Room was clean and maintained well during our stay. It says that it is an obstructed view because the lifeboats hang just below us, but looking out and across was still good.
Food - I chose RC over another line because they had a reputation for better food, I don't think that is any longer true. Our stateroom attendant asked us if we wanted fresh ice in the am or pm, we told her both and were accommodated - that More was the highlight. Overall, we were really disappointed by the food. Both the buffet and the dining room were bland and limited in offerings. In hindsight, it may have been worth it to pay for Johnny Rockets, we just kept hoping it would get better. Even the pizza was terrible, that's hard to mess up. I can't quite bring myself to pay for the premium restaurants when, in my mind, the food is included and I wonder if it is a scam to provide low quality food for free to get me to splurge for the up-charge. We carried a couple 6 packs of water on board and it was perfect for the amount of time we were there. Took two bottles with us each day in port instead of paying for it. Took part in the BBQ lunch on Coco Cay - it was even worse than what we had on the ship - probably because it's even harder to prepare and distribute food on an island if you're bringing it from the ship. If you have a coke package, bring your cup as the ones on the island are tiny.
Misc - I wasn't sure about beach towels so I brought one. Turns out we had no problem checking towels out from the pool area for our excursions. The shops were limited in offerings, but we still managed to spend some money there. The best deal is the 2 for 20 t-shirt time. I don't want to spend $16.95 for a t-shirt, but will gladly spend $10. The photos are pricey as they are on any ship, but they do leave the pictures up for the entire length of the cruise so you can wait until the end to pick the best one.
Disembarkation - overall only ended up taking an hour. We debated on carrying of or having it picked up. Carry off was 7:30-8 and our pick up time was 8-8:15. We went with carrying it off. We had breakfast at 7:20 and by the time we were done at 7:50 the elevators were jam packed. Once off the ship waiting for customs, there were two lines for people who carried off and since we were at the tail end of that it seemed like a while. The people that had theirs picked up and delivered down were able to walk up to their luggage carrier and waited in a line on the other side. It looked like it was actually a faster process, especially if you are in one of the first groups.
Transportation - Taxi to Port from South Beach - $17, Port to Airport $24, plus tips. Airport to south beach the night before where we were was $32, but the sticker on the cab window indicated there were some higher priced sections.
Excursions - Coco Cay - Went with the snorkel package and glad we did. Starting at 9 am helped as the crowds were low and we were the only RC ship docked. As the day went on the entry point got pretty murky, but that isn't really where the fish peeping is. The roped in area is okay for general clarity and we went to all 3 sites of sunken this/that. We did see the lionfish and a stingray. The more beautiful views were when we went out to the deeper designated section. Highly recommend that. Also highly recommend reapplying sun screen hourly. We applied heavily before, but never reapplied and are still paying the price 4 days later. We walked around the rest of the island and it pretty much seemed the same. There were some local vendors that set up shop on the island - they were overpriced and not too friendly (it is really hot and little breeze so maybe I'd be grumpy too if I had to sit there all day), but they did have some picture frames I wish I bought because I didn't find similar nice ones in Nassau. I think they only took cash.
Nassau - Dolphin Encounters, dolphin swim. This place is well kept and the animals are cared for, not just a money maker. It is expensive, but worth it. The dolphins are amazing and getting to hug and kiss one is unbelievable.
We may travel RC again, but it will be based on price and destination. Less

Ranking the Risk of Overbuilding in Commercial Real Estate Markets
[HTML] [PDF] (438Kb PDF file - PDF help)
The degree of risk borne by commercial real estate lenders is dependent on local market conditions, which are in turn dependent on local supply and demand factors. Following from the experience of the 1980s, when overdevelopment led to declining property values in various markets across the country, the threat of oversupply is watched with keen interest by lenders and regulators alike. This paper highlights various metropolitan markets that may be vulnerable to overbuilding based on the rapid pace of development occurring within those markets. This analysis is further supported by the opinions and research of credible industry experts. The ranking schemes presented are intended to serve as a basis for prioritizing more in-depth analysis of depository institution risk exposures to individual markets and to specific market segments. While this study does not predict an imminent downturn in those markets highlighted, it does raise the degree of concern over rapid development and a related increase in bank construction lending within these markets.
Metropolitan Atlanta Construction and Development Lending Trends
Although national real estate markets seem to be in equilibrium, some supply/demand disequilibrium appears to be forming in a few metropolitan markets. The Atlanta metropolitan area is one such market that merits attention. FDIC-insured institutions headquartered in metropolitan Atlanta have been actively supplying credit that is fueling the recent wave of building in the area. This paper analyzes the participation of FDIC-insured institutions in the current building boom in Atlanta. Comparisons are made with the last real estate bubble that burst during the economic recession in 1990-91. Current economic conditions in metropolitan Atlanta as well as the condition of the residential and various commercial real estate sectors in the area are analyzed. Moreover, we examine structural forces--in particular, real estate investment trusts--which may be influencing the area's commercial real estate sectors. Bankers should closely monitor economic and real estate conditions in metropolitan Atlanta because of the sizable construction and development lending concentrations at FDIC-insured institutions operating in the area and the intrinsic volatility of this lending.Return to Financial Institution Letter

ST. PETERSBURG — Dr. Paul Wallace often bought unusual cars.
He had owned an antique fire truck, a Model T, and one of the first Jaguar XK-Es to hit the street.
But the prominent orthopedic surgeon who loved cars was best known for a dark blue 1938, nine-seat Cadillac that had chauffeured presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Dr. Wallace bought the "Queen Mary," as the car was dubbed, in 1956. It still had running boards, a jump seat and a case between the front and rear seats for machine guns.
He might have raced cars but wanted to be a doctor more. As it was, Dr. Wallace chaired racing organizations, serving as medical director for Sebring races for decades and as medical director for the first incarnation of the St. Petersburg Grand Prix.
"Who are you to feel you can tell a man how to make his living?" he replied when a reporter challenged him about the sport's safety. "I don't feel as if I can."
Dr. Wallace, a former chief of staff at what is now All Children's Hospital, died May 22, several months after suffering a stroke. He was 92.
" 'Flamboyant' doesn't sound right, but he kind of was," said Jonnie Swann, his daughter. "He liked to make a scene and tell jokes."
He pulled over for car wrecks or even pursued them from home. "If you could hear a siren, we were out the door," said Swann, 64.
Her father was a founding member and president of the American Association for Automotive Medicine, which studied the effectiveness of safety devices such as seat belts and roll bars. "Then we realized that many of the things that were happening in racing to make it safe to continue as a sport were readily adaptable to ordinary use," he said in 1960.
Paul Fleugel Wallace was born in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 1921. After serving in the Army as a sergeant, he earned an M.D. from the University of Chicago. He moved to St. Petersburg in 1950 with his first wife.
Dr. Wallace married and divorced three times before marrying Rae Catlett in 2000.
He headed orthopedics at what is now Bayfront Medical Center, St. Anthony's Hospital and Mercy Hospital; and served as the first team physician for the fledgling Miami Dolphins in their 1966 training camp in St. Pete Beach.
In his spare time, he recruited Jimmy Appley, an engineer, to help customize his latest limousine. Dr. Wallace enjoyed a powerful look, requesting such additions as search lamps on each side, ornamental radio antennas, a dashboard siren and flashing red lights inside the grill.
They met when Appley broke his leg playing high school football in 1954. Dr. Wallace was the team physician. "He was always enthused by speed," said Appley, 74.

FOR more than three years school children had to forgo the daily trip to the village shop for sweets.
But that is about to change because Marcham Village shop will reopen next month as a community operation.
Ten years ago, there were three shops in the village and a pub, but the last shop closed three years ago and the pub is up for sale.
In the meantime, locals operate a community transport scheme to take elderly neighbours so they can do their shopping in Abingdon.
But after a year of planning, a loan, a grant and lots of fundraising, villagers are breathing new life into their community.
The shop, in North Street, is being refurbished and to help villagers get off to a flying start the landlord has agreed a year's free rent.
Company secretary of the Marcham Village Shop board Mike Hudson said: "We don't expect to make a huge profit and if we did make a profit it will either go to something we need in the shop or to the village to try and help other projects.
"As long as we break even and keep rolling that's what's important.
"We have got a huge number of villagers who have volunteered to help run the shop. We have 30 to 40 willing to do that, and there will be three part time paid staff.
"We understand we can't compete with the big boys. We are not expecting people to do their weekly shop there, that's why we are going to stock nice local stuff."
The group secured a £10,000 loan from the Co-operative Loan Fund, and a grant of £10,000 from the West Oxfordshire-based Plunkett Foundation. Villagers raised £15,000 themselves from donations and selling shares.
The shop, which will open at 7.30am until 6pm, will sell locally sourced food including fruit, vegetables, milk and wine, and there will be a small cafe.
Board member Christine Ricketts said: "Marcham has not had a shop in over three years, which we all miss as it is difficult to reach our nearest supermarket.
"Everyone is very excited for the opening next month.
"Without the funding we have received, the whole process would have taken much longer, and we would not have been able to fit the shop to the good standard we can now."
Ian Rothwell, of The Co-operative Loan Fund, said: "Marcham is a big village with an immense amount of community spirit.
"The shop is well located right in the middle of the village and should do incredibly well."

Transaction Action
NL East Tweakery
Released RHP Jeff Bennett. [7/28]
Acquired 1B-L Adam LaRoche from the Red Sox for 1B-L Casey Kotchman; recalled 1B-R Barbaro Canizares from Gwinnett (Triple-A). [7/31]
Activated 1B-L Adam LaRoche; optioned 1B-R Barbaro Canizares to Gwinnett. [8/1]
As much as the data suggests that LaRoche-for-Kotchman is a mild push as exchanges go because they're both bopping around the .270 mark in terms of EqA, I think this deal ends up working for the Braves as an improvement in a couple of ways. First, there's the nice wrinkle of having the Red Sox pay LaRoche's remaining salary, which means that the only thing the Braves had to take on as far as the cost of this transaction was Kotchman's upside and future service time. Another couple of years of Casey Kotchman isn't exactly the sort of thing you really want to sign on for if you play in the league where pitchers hit; he's a nice glove and a nice placeholder if you have stars spattering your lineup, but that's the sort of luxury a team as win-now as the Braves must be at present can pass by, having already sampled the limited benefits. The apologies made for Kotchman at this point of his career have become legion; he's in his age-26 season now, and still hasn't broken out any more than the brief bits of goodness he showed off in 2005 and 2007, years in which (by EqA) he was an adequate hitter for a hitter's position. Most of the time, he's been below that, to the point where it would be a false comparison to call him the new Mickey Vernon for his inconsistency; Vernon at least had stretches where he'd post EqAs in the .330s, above anything that Kotchman's achieved as of yet.
LaRoche, in contrast, has been that good or better in 2006 and 2008, and my thought is that if you're stuck employing a near-adequate first baseman, why not go for the guy with the slightly better track record, someone who, in his age-29 season, is also within his notional peak phase, someone you've already have some modest success with, and someone you can let leave as a free agent after the season so that, come your winter shopping trip, you might replace with someone better? LaRoche's career, strange as it has been, has its own share of excuses as well, and returned to a Braves lineup where he doesn't have to be a star, he just has to be better than Casey Kotchman, I like the chances that he'll give the Braves two good months before getting out of Dodge. Long-term, if you don't have one of the premium first basemen, I'd argue you're better off without any long-term commitments; the danger of employing Casey Kotchman is that, a year from now, you'd still be employing Casey Kotchman, because his service-time clock has buzzed to let you know you can just stop making it so by looking for something better.
Acquired 1B-L Nick Johnson from the Nationals for LHP Aaron Thompson; designated UT-R Andy Gonzalez for assignment. [7/31]
Activated RHP Matt Lindstrom from the 15-day DL; activated 1B-L Nick Johnson; optioned OF-R Brett Carroll and 1B/3B-R Gaby Sanchez to New Orleans (Triple-A). [8/1]
Placed RHP Burke Badenhop on the 15-day DL (strained trapezius); recalled RHP Tim Wood from New Orleans. [8/2]
In talking with Clay Davenport at SABR this past weekend, he alerted me to his findings about how much good adding Nick the Stick to the Fish meant to the team. I hardly wanted to jump the gun and remark upon what he'd determined, but now that the Marlins have upped their PECOTA-informed odds to about 10 percent, I wonder if we didn't understate the case a bit as far as how much of a difference getting Johnson into the lineup for Emilio Bonifacio changes matters; express it in terms of MLVr, and it doesn't get us any closer, because Bonifacio's -.195 to Johnson's .149 is a full run's worth of improvement every three games, or a win every 30, or a little more than two wins between now and season's end. This is where I know I something wonder about statistical currency; putting a .400 OBP in a lineup in front of Hanley Ramirez seems likely to do a lot more damage than that in terms of generating big innings. There's also the question of whether there's a defensive hit at third of some sort; Jorge Cantu's not a good third baseman, but Bonifacio wasn't all that special either, and the net gain that comes with adding a pretty good first baseman like Johnson ought to actually improve the defense.
There is of course yet another area of obvious improvement in this lineup, in that Chris Coghlan isn't really doing that much to help the Marlins score runs as a left fielder. While adding a veteran rental for the stretch drive now that we're in the waivers portion of the process of making deals might be doable, the Marlins' reluctance to take on salary probably handicaps them more than most others. So why not revisit their thinking from Opening Day, and turning to Cameron Maybin? He's currently crushing Triple-A pitching at a .328/.415/.471 clip, walking in almost 12 percent of his plate appearances, and he's still a plus defender in center. That performance translates to a .280 EqA, which even overlooking the defensive gain suggests that the Fish ought to go back to what they saw as a good idea in March.
Released CF-L Corey Patterson. [7/29]
Traded 1B-L Nick Johnson to the Marlins for LHP Aaron Thompson; traded LHP Joe Beimel to the Rockies for RHPs Ryan Mattheus and Robinson Fabian; purchased the contract of RHP Jorge Sosa from Syracuse; recalled OF-S Elijah Dukes from Syracuse (Triple-A). [7/31]
They didn't get top talent in this small-scale teardown of the terrors down in the basement, but they got arms, two per guy, no less, though none of them are present-day Vendittes or latter-day Greg Harris wannabes. The pair received from the Rockies aren't really prospects. Mattheus has been out with shoulder woes, but the chunky right-hander's impressed people with a decent, low-90s sinker. He's been out for the last six weeks or so, but once back, he might be able to contribute in 2010 as a grounder-on-demand righty situational type. He's the prize in this deal, but then what else would you expect, acquiring a guy you hope enters to the sounds of Falco. Come on, you all know the words: "Rock me, R-Mattheus! R-Mattheus, R-Mattheus/R-Mattheus..."
Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about Fabian is that he is not to be mistaken for Buff Bagwell (who as we all know wrestled as 'Fabulous Fabian,' however briefly), but he is perhaps equally combative, having hit 19 batters in 155
As for the Johnson trade, Thompson's notionally less disappointing as a bit of swag goes, but he's nevertheless something of a disappointment as a former Houston high-school arm picked with the 22nd overall selection in the 2005 draft. (One pick ahead? Cliff Pennington. One pick behind? Jacoby Ellsbury. Matt Garza went 25th overall. Yes, there's an element of crapshootery involved in the draft once you get past the obvious prospects.) He never really developed, but he's a lefty who can get over 90 now and again, and pitching as a 22-year-old in Double-A this year, he's allowed five runs per nine while striking out six and walking a touch more than three. He's managed to avoid getting hit hard, allowing an opponent's ISO of .095. The expectation is that he might just pan out as a big-league pen man, because he supplements the low-velocity fastball with a good curve, and he has a good move to first base, but maybe there's something more there; certainly, there's nothing that says he might not be the next Joe Beimel, and that was worth something once, not just R-Mattheus and Fabian.
Finally, the addition of Dukes back to the big-league ballclub is to take over in right field, with Austin Kearns remaining safely rooted to the bench, and with Adam Dunn's charity towards flying things getting shelved for a new role as the regular first baseman. They're still shy a second baseman, and Josh Bard's season has slowly fizzled, but an outfield with Josh Willingham and Dukes flanking Nyjer Morgan's not too shabby, and we'll see if Dunn conjures up defensive comparisons to Dave Kingman at yet another position.

CK- I've picked up on a certain affinity for Cliff Pennington in your writings. Can I ask.... why?
Aug 04, 2009 19:21 PM
Ah, much clearer. On the back of the O-Cab TA, I was in a rush to judge you as a Pennington apologist. Crapshootery, indeed.
Aug 04, 2009 22:01 PM
Consider my interest scientific. There was no point in employing Cabrera further,* and if Pennington's going to make it (or not), best to invest the last two months of the season on a fact-finding mission.

I think the A's were more hurt by Eric Chavez being expensive and perpetually unavailable "but on the brink of returning from injury".
Aug 05, 2009 17:39 PM
I love all this talk about how the Marlins will be improved by the presence of Nick Johnson, forgetting the fact that he's Nick Johnson and more fragile than fine crystal. I'd make the impact as minimal, since he won't be in the lineup long enough to make a difference. I'll set the over/under at 60 PAs.
Aug 05, 2009 10:09 AM
Nano, Nick has 424 PA's already this year, 13th among 1st basemen. Perhaps he's not ready to be called the new "iron man", but what would be the basis for your over/under at 60 more?
Aug 05, 2009 14:27 PM
A couple of minor corrections for the Nats' analysis; Mattheus doesn't have shoulder issues, rather he's recently undergone Tommy John surgery on his elbow, and Thompson has been pitching in AA this year, not AAA.

Massages can keep your muscles relaxed and stress levels so low that you can catch an arrow in your hands, assuming the arrow is gently tossed to you. Get zen with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $29 for a one-hour massage and pain consultation at Schulze Chiropractic Center (a $164 value)
During the initial consultation, a practitioner delves into the patient's health history to see when aches first appeared and how long they've been impeding daily activities, such as walking and restful sleepwalking. Palpation and other diagnostic measures seek out the root source of the individual's hurtful symptoms during a comprehensive pain evaluation. With this newly gleaned information, the massage therapist—under the doctor's direction—artfully kneads muscles and joints in an attempt to exorcise pain, relieve stress, and provide emotional release without turning to drugs or surgery.

Design blogs often direct a lot of negativity toward projects of different kinds — especially within comment threads. So, now and again I like to remind myself that it's almost impossible to give a balanced critique of another designer's work without knowing a few important things:
- The details of the design brief
- The relationship between the client and the designer
- The relationship between those on the client committee
- The lengths the designer went to when pitching the preferred option
The next time a studio completes a design project for a high profile client, my first thought will be one of congratulations for achieving consensus on a particular outcome, because getting the decision makers to agree is often a designer's most difficult task.

SCHOOLCHILDREN in Marlow now have a new place to play after a housing association spent £30,000 improving and updating a dilapidated park.
Located between Marlow C of E and Holy Trinity School on Sandygate Close, the children's play park had been in disrepair for some time.
But it has been given an overhaul thanks to funding from housing agency Red Kite with support from residents.
After the council housing agency approached residents in the area, an application was put together for an improved play area and was agreed in partnership with its tenant-led Neighbourhood Interest Group, and the agency Board.
Marlow Mayor Suzanne Brown cut the ribbon on the new area, which features a slide, swings and a spinning climbing frame.
And pupils from tried out the equipment for the first time on Friday, putting the new equipment through its paces to dizzying effect.
Ben Eales, Red Kite community project manager said: "We're so pleased to be able to improve the local area for children and residents by opening the new park.
The previous facilities were very basic and didn't encourage the community spirit that we stand for. "Knowing that the children now have fantastic equipment to enjoy makes the job worthwhile! Applying for the budget for improvements such as this is really easy, with forms on our website.
"As long as the improvement benefits everyone, has the support of local people and the community and displays our values of partnership, respect and pride, we are more than happy to help where we can."
Young people in Marlow will soon have another place to spend their free time, with another play area underway.
Marlow Town Council has agreed to agree to take over an area off Wycombe Road from Wycombe District Council, which will feature play equipment for public use.
When the play area near Bobmore Lane is fully installed and ready, the town council will maintain it using funds of over £70,000 supplied by WDC for the long term upkeep of the site.
Councillors gave the handover the green light at a full town council meeting last month.

Over the holiday we spent some time with family on the central coast, a fringe benefit of which is access to an uncle's machine shop. The last few times up there, things were too busy to get any projects worked into the schedule, and this trip was the start of catching up.
I have a love affair going on with the no longer made Sakae Low Fat pedals. They have just about everything I thought I wanted in a pedal, wide, light-ish, easy to service, durable, a full cm wider than anything else on the market, etc. The down side is that they have not been made for 15 years or more. Needless to say I have a bit of a horde. Then came the Specialized touring pedal, just an idle curiosity at first. The Low Fat seemed so rough around the edges, even chewing holes in the bottoms of some of my shoes. The touring pedals, also no longer made, seemed so much closer to what I wanted in an every day, practical sort of road pedal. Much more refined, lacking traction spikes, my feet still never slipped, the finish was almost like jewelry, really nice. But they were lacking too, while wide, the end shape was awkward to use with clips, straps and my Flintstone feet. So close to perfect, missing the mark by a little as well.
I decided it was time to start working out what I really wanted the pedals to be and make it a reality. Using a beat up set of Low Fats as a starting point, it was off to the mill. They were a bit awkward to clamp in the vise, the mill was still a better starting point than a file. I knocked off all of the teeth, excepting the toe flips, and brought the edge of the cage a little closer to the pedal body.
There is still a bit of clean up, fitting of the toe cages, etc. to get these ready to roll, but I am excited to give them a go. Here you can see a pair before and after;
I was able to squeeze in one more project, and turn a couple of headset spacers for our tandem, another languishing project.
The project list is still long, I wish I had my own machine shop, more shop space in general, but am incredibly grateful to be able to visit and use my Uncle-in-law's shop – Thanks Marty

Don't think you are better than the other player cause he doesn't have Adaman Hauberk or Crimson Cuisses. Respect others, and you get respected.
I think there is a really bad tradition in gaming now -- the concept of "owning." More traditional competitive gaming and sports stress self development and sportsmanship. The concept of owning centers around humiliation, and humiliation is about showing disrespect. I am not saying camping HNM gear and having a very good parse is trying to "own" someone. Trying to "own" someone is a motivation and behavior, they are not numbers.
You can be elite and first class, while being respectable. You can also choose to to show "ownage" -- trying to be elite and first class by putting other down.
Back to sportsmanship. It including the honor of the written and unwritten rules of the games. Written rules are black and white (botting is against the rules). Unwritten rules include to not to do things that is frowned by majority of other players (and spectators). In English football, as vague as the rule is, the referee has the right to punish a player for lack of sportsmanship (of course the referees are subject to peer review themselves).
May be I am born in another generation. I do not understand a lot of the gaming subculture now.

It's spring at Casa Juan Galan and everything is busting into bloom.

It's spring at Casa Juan Galan and everything is busting into bloom.
The tiny house is still for sale. If you get out to the Taos New Mexico area, check it out.
The apples have been picked, the Casa is still for sale–although there has been some interest lately.
I'll try to answer some questions that always arise even though they are mostly addressed elsewhere in this blog or on the web page http://CasaJuanGalan.com.
Yes there is water for all year round use from the rain and snow collection. I did have to have water delivered one drought year–cost me about $150. Now there is a community subscription well down the road towards Taos. Some folks use this for their drinking water. The Casa has a reverse osmosis filter for drinking water.
The property is 3/4 acre–(3) 1/4 a. lots together in an "L" shape.
My opinion is that the house is a great size for one person or a couple. It might be too small for children also. But, another room or more could be added if one wanted to spend more money. The pavilion attached to the tank house could be closed in to make a nice studio or office. It's about 8′ x 12′ . The 'bedroom' is about 8′ x 16′ with a queen size loft at one end.
In regards to owner financing, I haven't quite figured that out yet. I would probably give a better price with more money out front. I would have to work that out with the buyer. I don't think I can give a fixed answer yet.
There are no community or governmental regulations that would keep one from having animals.
I will try to answer any other questions you may have. Please, if you're not serious, don't start a dialogue.
Peace, John

Bruce Willis & Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson To Return To 'G.I. Joe 3′
More tidbits from last weekend's San Diego Comic-Con are spilling out, as director Jon Chu confirms The Rock and Bruce Willis for G.I. Joe 3.
The filmmaker admitted to Collider quite a bit of information regarding the Joe's next adventure. After indicating that both the former WWE heavyweight champion and the Red 2 star are ready and willing to come back, the next move is to acquire writers, according to Chu.
Below are just a few highlights with the video afterwards:
- :09 Talks about all the people waiting to get his autograph.
- :35 The fan reaction when he signed on to direct G.I. Joe: Retaliation and earning their respect.
- 1:07 What he learned from making Retaliation and why that excites him for G.I. Joe 3.
- 1:41 Release date for G.I. Joe 3. It hasn't been announced yet, but he says Dwayne and Bruce only have a certain amount of time in their schedules—confirming that both will be back. "Do we need to get going? It would be really awesome to get going now."
- 2:11 Says they've discussed a variety of dates, but whether it'll be in summer or not is up to the studio.
- 2:30 Will they be shooting in 3D and/or IMAX? Says everything's on the table, but having both shot 3D and post-converted, there are some benefits to post-converting.
- 3:13 What did he learn from the fan reaction to the first film? Says he learned that they're okay with stretching things a little further, noting that they can "double down on the adventure part of this movie." He cautions that they won't go sci-fi, but they can "push the boundaries of the world a bit more."
In addition to the highlights above, Chu talked a lot about what's on the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Blu-ray DVD, the legacy of the Hasbro property, and how they can incorporate some of those things in the third film. Our personal highlight moment came when Chu talked about his own personal nerdy collections, how he wants to hear from fans, and the latest about Masters of the Universe.
Watch the video and leave your thoughts at the bottom:
