Jose Canseco agreed yesterday to an incentive-laden contract with the Anaheim Angels, who are desperate for a designated hitter. It could pay him as little as $200,000 or as much as $5 million.
Canseco, a free agent slugger, got a deal heavily based on plate appearances, along with an invitation to spring training.
Canseco, 36, is 23rd on baseball's career home run list with 446. He has been sidelined by injuries in each of the last six years, with back problems slowing him in four seasons.
The Yankees claimed Canseco on waivers from Tampa Bay last August, then cut him after winning the World Series. The Yankees declined a $4 million option on him in November, instead paying a $500,000 buyout.
Canseco hit a combined .252 with 15 home runs and 49 runs batted in in 98 games for the Devil Rays and the Yankees.Continue reading the main story
The Angels were third in the American League with 236 home runs, but their power-packed lineup was without a steady and productive designated hitter.
Canseco is a career .266 hitter with 1,358 R.B.I. in a major league career that started in 1985.
DOCTORS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT TED WILLIAMS: Doctors remained optimistic yesterday even as Ted Williams was back under sedation in intensive care a day after he had a long operation to repair failing heart valves.
Doctors at New York Presbyterian Hospital's Weill Cornell Medical Center were encouraged by Williams's response to commands right after surgery, The Boston Globe reported.
The 82-year-old Williams, a Hall of Famer and baseball's last .400 hitter, could not speak when he awoke from surgery because he was still intubated, but he did respond to doctors' commands, said Dr. Jeffrey Borer, the cardiologist overseeing the Williams case.
''I think things went well,'' said Dr. Wayne Isom, head of the 13-man surgical team, after Monday's nine-hour operation. ''The next 48 hours is the critical period. It'll be touch and go, but I'm an optimist.''
Williams is expected to remain in the hospital for the next 10 to 14 days.
Williams had a pacemaker inserted in November, but continued to suffer from shortness of breath, caused by the leaky heart valve.Continue reading the main story

So a little anecdote before I start. I am out of town until Monday attending a conference. I check into the hotel with my friends and I am told that internet costs 10 dollars a day. I am a poor college student and I think I can just skate by using my handy 3G phone. Yeah, this isn't working so well. I told myself if the chapter wasn't anything special, I would not write a blog on it but the chapter just had to be great when I was willing to not write for a week. I had to read the chapter on my mangastream app which is terrible. I refuse to pay for internet but editing on a phone sucks. Just figuring out how to write this blog was a pain. I better get extra comments for all the trouble I am going through for you guys. Anyway, this blog will deviate a bit from my usual format. As there is not a lot happening in this chapter, just a lot of explanation, I will just give a basic summary and give a lot of my thoughts on what has been happening. If my grammar is bad, blame it on the phone bcause you know my grammar is usually impeccable.
So we start with a cool little page of Sado, not bad. Ichigo is getting attacked by mad Beast Pork and Riruka looks a little worried. We get a hint of Girikos abilities. Riruka says Pork is ugly and Giriko reveals that the timer is his. (Sidenote that probably only Lemursrule will get: Anyone else imagining John Cleese voicing this guy?) Anyway, Riruka and Sado want to pull Ichigo out of the box but Giriko explains his abilities. He sets timers on things with which conditions have to be met before they expire or else... Yeah, kind of cool. Then explains that Ichigo just has to last 30 minutes but if they pull him out early, the box, Ichigo and Pork will burst into flames. Ichigo tries to use Fullbring again and Sado gives him the key. It is pride. Sado explains he has pride in his skin and Ichigo needs to have pride in being a Shinigami. He thinks and it works as we see the shape of his Bankai sword emanating from the badge.
So, while not the greatest of chapters, I liked it for a few reasons. The first being Girikio. I love his ability. That is just awesome. I love time based abilities and the ability to set a time limit on accomplishing something or things go haywire is just amazing. As I said, I picture John Cleese saying his lines. For those of you who do not know John Cleese, WHY DON'T YOU KNWO JOHN CLEESE? He is only one of the greatest british comedians of all time. Look him up now, Ministry of Silly Walks on youtube go now. Anyway, yes I imagine him with a very nice birtish accent. It seems his ability has something to do with his eye as well as it said what power lies behind the eye but I am confused there as it shows him holding a pocket watch. I also liked this chapter because it finally showed some depth with Riruka. She was upset, she seemed to care for Ichigo. This is the first time she has showed anything but anger really. I like my characters to have depth and so if she is going to be around for a while, she needs some depth. Sado was one thing that really pissed me off a little. HIS SKIN? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HE ACTIVATES HIS FULLBRING WITH HIS SKIN? How lame can you get. I call shenanigans. I usually trust in Kubo's writing ability as he always surprises us but this just doesn't cut it. This angers me. For once I pray for a retcon.
Here is the other thing that is going on. We have all been having this debate for a while now. How is Ichigo using Fullbring? Kubo has done a terrible job with explaining this to us. There is no answer at this point. We can only guess and that is making me mad. One chapter he says they are going to restore his Shinigami powers so that they can give him Fullbring but now he has to use Fullbring to get his powers back. It is just stupid. The other question is even if he can use fullbring, how did he get it. There is only one plausible story in my mind right now. The Six Fullbringers said that the Fullbringers had a parent who was attacked by a Hollow, it did not say mother. It says that a piece of the Hollow stayed with the mother until she gave birth though. My only somewhat plausible explanation of this is genetics and that the piece of the Hollow is passed on through genetics during conception. This would mean that Isshin, who was probably attacked by a Hollow hundreds of times, passed on the Hollow piece. If that does not work out than nothing will as there is officially nothing else there. No reason whatsoever... and now my battery is dying so I am going to end this and find my charger.
As always, comments are very much appreciated but keep them clean. (Remember, extra love this week because of all I went through to write this.

How do I fix a cake that is falling apart as I ice it? It's a square cake and it cracked a little when I was putting the top layer on. But When I iced it it fell over and crumble to oblivion!!! I traveled out of town to make this cake for my cousin and I don't know where any stores are and I also don't have any of my cake pans with me. What do I do?!?!
3 replies
I truly don,t think you can save it. I would have to buy the layers from a grocery store or a bakery somewhere.
Cake pops!

I think your icing was too dry.

Kitchen island pictures appear in various forms, shapes, sizes, colors, etc. Kitchen island is proven to be useful for cooking purpose since it gives you an extra workstation. However, you should know that this one can be used for display as well at the same time.
It requires big island where one half will be the workstation and another half will be open storage for display though. You can find this kind easily by browsing kitchen island images on the internet. Island like this is pretty useful for kitchen that is directly connected to living room, for example.
Simply put, the island will stand as divider in which half of its part belongs to the kitchen as workstation and another half for the living room as storage for display. Kitchen island pictures can prove how amazing it looks.

Army, IGNOU ink MoU to grant degrees to soldiers
Indian Army and IGNOU today signed an MoU to grant degrees to soldiers, with the aim of providing a second career option to them.
New Delhi: Indian Army and IGNOU today
signed an MoU to grant degrees to soldiers, with the aim of
providing a second career option to them.
"We have signed the MoU by which we will ensure that
all army men who retire from now onwards have graduation
degrees, which will enable them to go for a second career and
also enhance the amount of workforce in the country," Army
Chief General Deepak Kapoor told reporters after the signing
of the MoU.
The project named `Gyandeep`, will help to confer a
graduation degree to soldiers who join the force just after
school. Based on US` community college system, the project is
expected to benefit the 1.2 million soldiers in the Army.
The MoU was signed by Army`s Adjutant General Lt Gen
Mukesh Sabharwal and IGNOU Vice Chancellor Professor V N
Rajasekharan Pillai in the presence of the Army Chief at South
Block today.
Under the project, soldiers would be provided with
bachelors degrees in arts, commerce, management and various
other disciplines, which will be market driven and help them
to secure jobs for the jawans.
Under the new arrangement, IGNOU will register Army`s
regimental training centres and schools as `community
colleges`. The Army-IGNOU Community Colleges will continue
functioning as autonomous bodies conducting examinations and
their courses.

Boys Tops £2.50 @ Mothercare
Mothercare has a range of long sleeved boys tops, with patters such as cars, trucks and animals, all for £2.50 each. These are quite good quality tops, with a reasonably thick material. My son had a few of them when he was a toddler, and I can definitely say they wear well, and keep their colours.
To see the range of t-shirts available, click on the link above. When the pages opens, look down and to the right, and click on the left and right pointing arrows at either side of the top under 'see more in this range'.
Or click on the 'see all' link to open the window showing all the range. There's tops in short and long sleeves. Although as summer is now drawing to a close (deep sigh) long sleeved is probably the better choice.
The Mothercare Boys Hungry Crocodile T-Shirt shown above is just gorgeous – a fun and bright long sleeve t-shirt in orange with a cute crocodile graphic. A great value option for matching with jeans!
The tops are made of 100% cotton, so nice and comfy, and are machine washable. Which makes me wonder. Who on earth would make, or buy, babies clothes that had to be handwashed?

Barbie And Spider Man As A Single Cake For Twins B/day ??
Decorating By wevskysgirl1 Updated 16 May 2010 , 3:21pm by wevskysgirl1
please can anyone think of away to combine barbie and spider man as one cake , its for a twins b/day in july ... and my brains just gone blank
thanks for any help you can give
Can you give us any ideas on what size and shape of cake you're doing? Are you doing a sheet cake? Or a tiered cake? Square?
Are you trying to divide the cake so it's 1/2 barbie 1/2 spiderman or are you trying to incorporate both of them into the same scene?
both on the same cake , i was thinking a tower with barbie at the top and spiderman climbing it ... and the mums just asked me to make the characters look like the twins ... eek
Spiderman rescuing Barbie
Spiderman spinning his web around her
both of them rescuing a dog together
Difficult to say, if we don't have an idea how many servings, whether carved, sheet etc
carved i think would work best , and min of 25-30 servings thanks
Well..It won't let me post any photos....not sure why..PM sugarchicone and ask her to send you thepic of Spidey and Hannaha Montana combined..Maybe it will help with the ideas.
Is it possible to do two cakes? Maybe two smaller rounds so you don't have to try to combine the two? Barbie and Spiderman are such different sizes, I believe.... the proportions would be really off....at least I think they would be.
And I don't know how you're supposed to make characters that look like these kids - how old are they? Barbie is a full-grown woman and spiderman is at least a 20-year old boy.... I don't know, just think it would look weird.... and how is spiderman supposed to look like a kid? You don't see his face and the body is the body of a man.... maybe mom didn't really think that request through...
For Barbie, the hair and eyes could be the same color as the little girl.... but that's about as close as you are going to get to "making it look like her"....
Of course, you may be super talented and be able to pull it off some how. Good luck!
There is a really awesome one on Flickr. I will try to find it late and post the link
thanks for all the suggestions ... the mum has decided that she wants a fondant boy in a spiderman outfit and a little barbie girl .... and she wants a rapunzel tower (stacked cakes ) with spiderman climbing up the tower to rescue barbie
i worked out the cost and i think she was a tad shocked to find it would cost a tad more than the £20 that she was thinking .. even though i had asked what was the upper price limit and she said ohh price is no object .
mind you even if she decides that she cant afford it , im going to have ago at doing the cake for my kids just to see how it would work
thanks once more for all your help this site is brill

Early results of prostate cancer radiation therapy: an analysis with emphasis on research strategies to improve treatment delivery and outcomes
Global health
There is scant data regarding disease presentation and treatment response among black men living in Africa. In this study we evaluate disease presentation and early clinical outcomes among Ghanaian men with prostate cancer treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).
A total of 379 men with prostate cancer were referred to the National Center for Radiotherapy, Ghana from 2003 to 2009. Data were collected regarding patient-and tumor-related factors such as age, prostate specific antigen (PSA), Gleason score (GS), clinical stage (T), and use of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). For patients who received EBRT, freedom from biochemical failure (FFbF) was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Of 379 patients referred for treatment 69.6% had initial PSA (iPSA) > 20 ng/ml, and median iPSA was 39.0 ng/ml. A total of 128 men, representing 33.8% of the overall cohort, were diagnosed with metastatic disease at time of referral. Among patients with at least 2 years of follow-up after EBRT treatment (n=52; median follow-up time: 38.9 months), 3- and 5-year actuarial FFbF was 73.8% and 65.1% respectively. There was significant association between higher iPSA and GS (8–10 vs. ≤7, p < 0.001), and T stage (T3/4 vs. T1/2, p < 0.001).
This is the largest series reporting on outcomes after prostate cancer treatment in West Africa. That one-third of patients presented with metastatic disease suggests potential need for earlier detection to permit curative-intent therapy. Data from this study will aid in the strategic development of prostate cancer research roadmap in Ghana.
Prostate cancer is currently the second most often diagnosed cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer mortality among males worldwide
The available medical literature for prostate cancer is primarily from Europe and the United States. Although the literature does emphasize the outcomes of males of African descent, the subjects included are those who live in developed countries
Reports on cancer patterns among Ghanaian men referred to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) revealed that prostate cancer comprised 64% of all genitourinary cancers during 1980–1990
Clearly, Ghanaian men present with prostate cancer that is more advanced than observed routinely in the United States, and the cancer treatment resources differ dramatically. Our research team plans to develop treatment regimens tailored to the needs of Ghanaian men, which may differ from guidelines currently utilized in the Unites States and Europe in order to better address the disease burden and improve mortality rates in Ghana. In this study we examine early results for definitive radiation therapy for prostate cancer at KBTH, and develop a research roadmap for improving radiation therapy delivery and outcomes in Ghanaian men.
Patient selection
With Institutional Review Board approval from KBTH and Thomas Jefferson University, patient and treatment data were collected retrospectively from the charts of all patients referred to the National Center for Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine at KBTH for prostate cancer treatment from January 2003 to December 2009, representing a total of 379 patients. These patients comprise the cohort for evaluation of patient- and tumor-related factors presented in the current report (overall cohort). Among these patients, a total of 251 patients (organ-confined cohort) had non-metastatic disease and were, thus, considered eligible to receive treatment with curative intent consisting of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) (Cobalt-60 unit), brachytherapy, and/or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). A subset of this group, the Freedom From biochemical Failure (FFbF) analysis cohort, was identified for evaluation of outcomes after EBRT, with or without ADT (52 patients). Patients who received radical prostatectomy were not included in this analysis, since follow up data were not available. Patients who received radical prostatectomy prior to EBRT or were treated with brachytherapy were excluded from the FFbF analysis cohort, as were patients with radiologic or pathologic evidence of metastatic disease prior to treatment. Inclusion criteria included a biopsy-proven diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma, a minimum of 2 years of follow up data, and at least 2 of the following available: clinical T stage, Gleason score, or initial PSA. All patients were initially evaluated by a thorough history, physical examination (including digital rectal examination) followed by routine laboratory studies, bone scan, and serial serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) during and after treatment. All patients were staged according to the 1992 American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system
Treatment details
External beam radiotherapy
Until 2008, prostate EBRT was performed with 2-dimensional treatment planning using a conventional fluoroscopic simulator. A 4-field box technique was applied, with parallel-opposed pairs of antero-posterior and lateral fields, to deliver up to 68- 70 Gy in 34/35 fractions over 7 weeks. The superior border was placed at the lower sacroiliac joint, with the inferior border 1 cm above the bottom of the ischial tuberosities. The anterior border on the lateral film split the pubic symphysis, and posterior border split the S2/S3 vertebrae.
Following the acquisition of a three-dimensional (3D) treatment planning system in 2008, prostate EBRT involves computed tomography (CT) planning. CT scan images were obtained in the supine position with 2.5 mm slice cuts and transmitted to a Prowess Panther Treatment Planning System, version 4.6 (Prowess, Inc., Concord, California). A 3D conformal radiotherapy technique was used. Clinical target volumes (CTV) included the prostate, with or without seminal vesicles. For low risk patients, the CTV included the prostate only, whereas the CTV in intermediate risk patients included the prostate and the inferior 1 cm of the seminal vesicles. The entire seminal vesicles were included in the CTV for high risk disease. Typical margins used to generate a planning target volume (PTV) by expanding the CTV were 1 cm, except posteriorly where the margin was 0.6 cm.
A range of 54-60 Gy was delivered to the initial CTV followed by a second phase, delivering an additional 10 to 14 Gy to the prostate only. Patients received a cumulative central tumour dose of 68 to 74 Gy in 34 to 37 daily fractions over 7 to 7-1/2 weeks. A minimum PTV coverage of 95% coverage was required, with dose inhomogeneity of less than 10% and maximum point dose was not to exceed 107% of prescription dose. Dose-volume histograms (DVHs) were obtained for each patient, with a constraint of V60<40% and or V40<60% for the rectum. Appropriate shielding with customised blocks was employed to decrease the dose to the rectum and femoral heads. Radiotherapy was delivered using a Cobalt-60 teletherapy (GWGP 80, National Power Institute of China). Portal imaging was obtained from Cobalt 60 machine prior to and midway through treatment course with correction of any set up errors identified.
Brachytherapy seed implantation
All patients were seeded using the real-time transrectal ultrasound-guided technique
Androgen depravation therapy
ADT consisted of orchiectomy or a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (goserelin acetate) with or without non-steroidal anti-androgen (flutamide or bicalutamide). The use of ADT was dependent on the risk category of the patient. Short term ADT was offered to intermediate risk patients (given only concurrently during the 7–8 weeks of radiotherapy). High risk patients received long term ADT, given for a total of 24 months, beginning 3 months before initiation of radiation
KBTH occasionally receives referrals for consideration of prostate EBRT for patients with rising PSA levels who previously received orchiectomy for localized disease, and who were not assessed at initial diagnosis for radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy. These individuals are evaluated with bone scintigraphy and CT or MRI of the pelvis to determine whether regional or distant spread of prostate cancer is present. Those without clinical or radiological evidence of metastases are then considered for EBRT with curative intent.
Follow-up and treatment endpoints
All patients in the FFbF analysis cohort, but not the overall cohort, had a follow up of at least two years. Patients were seen in follow up every three months for two years, then every six months for the next three years and once a year subsequently. At each follow up visit, evaluation included DRE and serial PSA values were determined and recorded. When data were available, biochemical failure in the analysis cohort was defined according to the Phoenix definition (PSA nadir + 2 ng/mL). Time to biochemical failure was defined from the end of EBRT. Freedom From biochemical Failure (FFbF) was used as an endpoint in this analysis, since it serves as a surrogate for disease-free survival
Statistical analysis
Frequency counts and descriptive statistics were used to present information regarding clinical and pathological features of the cohort. Associations between initial PSA level and other factors, including Gleason score, clinical T stage and patient age, were tested using Wilcoxon-Mann–Whitney tests due to the highly skew distribution of PSA levels. For the FFbF Analysis cohort, 3- and 5-year FFbF rates were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Comparisons of FFbF were performed using the log-rank statistic. The threshold for statistical significance was defined a p-value of <0.05 for all tests. Analyses were performed using the SAS 9.2 statistical software package (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC).

Over the last few decades, there has been a noted increase in the burden of chronic diseases, especially cancer, in Africa
The current study describes characteristics of prostate cancer patients referred to KBTH in Ghana and provides insight into early clinical outcomes for the treatment of advanced disease in this population. These data are significant, in terms of defining priorities for cancer care in West Africa, since the majority of the prostate cancer literature originates from the United States and Western Europe and there is an increasing awareness that results obtained from one ethnicity may not necessarily apply to individuals from a different ethnic origin. Over the last two decades, data have emerged from hospital-based cancer registries in a few African countries that provide valuable information. Data from several articles on prostate cancer from 1981 to 2005 indicate an increased prostate cancer risk and mortality among Nigerian men
PSA screening
In our study population of Ghanaian men with prostate cancer, >90% of patients with available data presented with intermediate- or high-risk disease, >95% with clinically T2 or greater disease, and 70% with PSA > 20 ng/ml. In contrast, in the US population, 40-60% of prostate cancer patients present with clinically inapparent disease, mostly diagnosed as T1c upon trans-rectal ultrasound guided (TRUS) biopsy
There are major concerns that PSA screening leads to over-diagnosis and overtreatment of indolent prostate cancer in men which if left untreated would have little or no impact on life expectancy
Challenges to treatment delivery
Out of 251 patients eligible for definitive radiation treatment with curative intent only 141 patients (56.2%) actually received EBRT. A number of factors acting as barriers to treatment delivery include the use of alternative medicines and traditional healing methods coupled with inadequate health education, which often delays correct diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Furthermore, taboos, stigmas, and false beliefs that cancer is a "curse" often lead to delayed diagnosis and non-adherence to treatment. Other barriers specific to radiation treatment delivery among Ghanaian men included fear of radiation, inflated perception of the cost of treatment, difficulty with access to transportation to and from daily treatments, and loss of income due to absence or inability to work.
Ghana has a population of 24 million serviced by only two megavoltage machines in two radiation treatment centers 250 kilometers (180 miles) apart. The lack of accessibility to treatment centers as well as time loss and costs incurred by patient transportation presents a huge barrier for compliance to daily treatments. Furthermore, the national health insurance re-imbursements payment rate to the health care facilities is very low, which in turn renders the out of pocket cost per treatment course per patient enormously expensive for the average working-class Ghanaian man. Currently, shorter course ("hypofractionated") treatment schedules are being explored for prostate cancer, in an effort to improve patient convenience, reduce costs, and to take advantage of unique radiobiological characteristics of prostate cancer that make large fractions potentially more effective
Treatment outcomes
To date, the data presented in this article provides the only source of published information on outcomes for prostate cancer treatment in the West African region. Our results showed that the 3- and 5-year FFbF for Ghanaian men with mostly intermediate to high risk prostate cancer receiving EBRT +/− ADT was 73.8% and 65.1% respectively. In light of differences in patient disease characteristics at diagnosis and older treatment techniques one must consider whether to evaluate these outcomes with respect to the latest published data using dose escalation as reported by Zietman et al.
Future research needs
Results presented in this study have demonstrated that the majority of Ghanaian men diagnosed with prostate cancer present with very advanced stage disease. Current treatment recommendations for advanced stage prostate disease are based on clinical trials that include conventionally-fractionated radiation therapy and long-term ADT
We have described presentation and early clinical outcomes for a cohort of patients who received prostate cancer treatment at KBTH in Ghana. Based on these results, our group has proposed a plan for future research aimed at identifying an appropriate role for PSA screening in this population, developing radiation therapy treatment schedules that better fulfill the needs of Ghanaian prostate cancer patients, and contributing to understanding genetic factors associated with prostate cancer risk and treatment response.

What Are You Doing Here?
In the past, I called this type of post How Did You Get Here? I would then post the most interesting search terms that people typed in and would be as helpful/snarky as I could be. But I think the more appropriate title would be WHAT Are You Doing Here? … Read on and tell me if you don't agree:
do you fill like doing pooh in labour – DUDE, first, learn to type what you really mean. Fill and FEEL are totally different. But since you're here, this is one thing that I think about anytime I think about pregnancy…it scares the shit out of me, accidentally pooping while in labor. *shiver* You can bet that when I get pregnant and go into labor, you'll be reading about that here. I have no shame.
reason to win a wii fit – erm…do you need a reason? I don't understand the question.
how do you say dennis lehane – uhh, I think it's den-is le-hay-n…past that, I'd recommend an English teacher.
things about myself – I dunno. You tell me. You know you. I don't know you. I only know me.
hey lady! whatcha readin'? – wow. Someone even got the punctuation right.

ending of gone with the wind – This is like asking for the ending of Star Wars. Even I know the ending and I never saw the movie. But I guess I'll tell you…Rhett and Scarlett don't end up together. Sorry.
i hate spiders scream – What do you mean? Do you mean you hate spiders when they scream, or you hate spiders so you scream? I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream!! Sorry. I guess I scream when i see spiders, too.

The New Mexico Independent - 'Net Neutrality' Lost?
An axiom of our world is that things have sped up. The effect has increased exponentially with each passing generation, and for many of us who came of age in the 1980s and 1990s we've seen and felt it proceed at almost mach speed. In many ways, it's due to increases in productivity we can produce more because our transportation and information infrastructure is incredibly quicker and more efficient than it used to be.
Much of this has to do with the Internet, which has changed how we communicate drastically, becoming an essential aspect of how we participate in both our democracy and our economy. Providing us with instant communication -- of all sorts -- the Internet is a virtual superhighway, facilitating the exchange of both our ideas and our commerce, not to mention serving as an innovation platform for both large and small enterprises. Plus, in a very important way, it's opened up the world in general for those outside the jet-set.
And while still fairly new, those of us who have access to it now already in large measure take it for granted.
But maybe we shouldn't.
As it turns out, our access to the Internet is for the most part provided by large private telephone and cable companies. In most markets, you have to choose between one or the other as your Internet service provider, or "ISP." In this way they're like a duopoly -- which means Internet access is controlled in most areas by just a couple of companies. Like the telecommunications industry in general, which has consolidated from 50 controlling companies in 1984 to about six today, it's hardly a highly competitive market.
And many fear this structure threatens the "neutrality" of the Internet. The term "net neutrality," in essence, refers to the idea that in order to be most useful, the Internet shouldn't discriminate among users. Tim Wu, a Columbia Law School professor, uses the analogy of an electric grid:
New Mexico's future congressional delegation
The New Mexico Independent was curious about what those who are running for federal office in New Mexico think about the issue. As it turned out, Democratic contenders were all informed on the topic and knew where they stood. Conversely, none of the Republicans running for Congress responded to the inquiry. They either declined to comment because of the complexity of the issue or declined all comment. First Congressional District candidate Darren White refused to respond despite several requests.
Democrat Ben Ray Lujan, who is running for the Third Congressional District seat, said corporations shouldn't be "gatekeepers of the Internet" and that a tiered system would stall innovation and slow growth. "I've been very vocal when it comes to companies ensuring access is there for all New Mexicans, and will be just as vocal about keeping the Internet open," he said.
Lujan also was the only person who spoke directly to the issue of capacity. He told the Independent that the Internet access should be viewed as a responsibility of government as well as private industry. If capacity isn't being met, he said, state and federal government should work together and look at ways to having funding mechanisms in place to ensure capacity creation while protecting neutrality.

Author has written 4 stories for Xiaolin Showdown.
What's up? My name's Alex and I'm 20 years old.
I'm currently a junior in college studying film-making. Some things I like to do for fun are writing stories on here (just XS fics for some reason), hanging out with friends, partying, paintballing, playing sports, watching TV/movies, etc. My favorite current TV show is Prison Break, and my favorite movie is The Big Lebowski. Anything else you want to know about me, just ask.
I'm in the (slow) process of finishing old fics I started back in Summer '05. I've also began a new story on top of that, which really isn't going to speed up the resolution of my older fics.

Hello. I understand how fleets work in terms of applying non module related bonuses and structure. I know that the best skill will filter down, so that if the Wing Co spot has some at level 4 and the Squad Co spot has them at 5 then the Squad Members will get all the relevant fives!
My question though, does the same apply to gang link modules? Let's assume the following: members have the necessary fleet structure skills trained; an Eos with Information Warfare Links in the Fleet Command spot; a Damnation with Armoured Warfare Links in the Wing Command and a Vulture with Siege Warfare Links in the Squad Commander spot.
Will the Squad Members and Commander receive all nine of the above Warfare Link bonuses when the modules are active and all are in the same system?

minimal bulk, maximum warmth
Perfection is a big word to throw around, but sometimes it's merited. We returned to our signature Insulated Shirt again this season, and after several iterations over the last few winters, we're hard pressed to find any room for improvement—which is a good problem to have. One modification we made was reducing the fabric weight by a few grams. It's a minor detail, but when something is so close to its perfect form, it's all about the fine margins. Minimal bulk, maximum warmth. The insulated shirt you love, only lighter.
About Primaloft
Primaloft is a patented synthetic microfiber insulation, originally developed for the US army as a water-resistant alternative to goose down. The ultra-fine fibers of Primaloft form air pockets that trap heat from your body, keep the cold air out, and provide an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. If insulation gets wet it loses these air pockets and so the ability to insulate, but the Primaloft fibers undergo a waterproof treatment so they retain their insulating properties even when wet. We use Primaloft Gold in our garments, the highest standard of all synthetic insulations.

Answering students, faculty concerns: Fall 2016 President Round Table lets students voice their opinions and questions
Texas A&M University-Kingsville students and faculty gathered to discuss campus concerns at the President's Round Table forum on Monday.
The semi-annual event, sponsored by the Student Government Association encourages students to have their voices heard by administration. Those present included President Dr. Steven Tallant, Provost Dr. Heidi Anderson, Dr. Terisa Riley, senior vice president for fiscal and student affairs, Randy Hughes, chief of staff, Dr. Dolores Guerrero, dean of College of Arts & Sciences; and D. Scott Gines, vice president of intercollegiate athletics and campus recreation.
Tallant addressed the now publicized Oct. 5 meeting and attempted to put to rest some persistent rumors.
According to the TAMUK president, talk of a merger is nothing new and has been a running dialogue before his administrative term began in 2008.
"This has not been a series of magical, undercover meetings," Tallant said.
He advocated how forward thinking will promote the university's status.
Tallant made it a point to say that A&M-Kingsville is far more advanced compared to any other sister school within the system. Considering what students in 30 years will need in order to be the best, he thought that the merger was a worthy idea to discuss.
After a series of negative stories in the local media, however, he feels the timing is not yet right to move forward.
Tallant said the merger concept lacks legislative support and is "…as dead as a doornail.
"It won't happen for 400 years, promise," Tallant said.
The merger was not the only major issue Tallant and other administrators addressed at the forum. The issue of parking shortages due to construction of the new music building was raised.
A portion of Manning Hall's lot is barricaded and students are forced to play
a game of musical chairs in hopes of acquiring a spot. Tallant assured students that space would be available behind Cousins Hall, near the intramural fields, and catty-corner to the presi-dent's house.
At the beginning of the year, students were having trouble accepting financial awards, and so financial aid was also a topic for serious concern.
A mass email was sent out to students soon after issues surfaced explaining how a system glitch was the cause.
Tallant said, "[The system] is in the best shape it's ever been in history."
After reassuring students about financial aid, Tallant addressed a profane remark written inside a facility restroom earlier this month.
He shared his disappointment and disgust as to how one could target an ethnic group.
The president hopes that TAMUK will come together and stay united and supportive of diversity.
Provost Anderson stressed that college deans and higher authorities rely on course evaluations and comments from students to evaluate faculty and course offerings.
Administration would like to further develop a more reputable way of knowing what motives a student may have when filing grievances and how to respond in an orderly manner.
Lelyn Adams, freshman business major brought up the topic of outdated com- puters within the College of Business and Engineering. According to Adams, the lack of software maintenance has posed itself as a problem. He hopes that a resolution will be formed and those needs will be met. "We have a plan to refresh computers whether it be updated programs or new computers," Riley said. David Barrera, SGA president, spoke on the advantages of having the semi-annual forum.
"Any time to sit down and talk with the president or upper administration
is a good time. I think it's super important to be able to connect with these people… have everyone come together and at the end of the day, have students voice their opinions," Barrera said.

Amelia Earhart
For my biography report I chose to write about Amelia Earhart. My first reason I chose Amelia Earhart is because I thought she would be very interesting because she made the choice to be an airplane pilot. Another reason why I chose Amelia Earhart is because I might want to be an airplane pilot when I grow up. The final reason I chose Amelia Earhart is because I wanted to learn about her life.
Amelia Earhart was born in her grandmother's house on July 24 1897, in Atchison, Kansas. Their house was high on a hill. Amelia's grandparents had a lot of money. But Amelia's father had problems keeping his job. When Amelia was seven her dad finally had enough money to take her family to go see the World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri.
After Amelia went on a plane ride at an air show she made the choice to be an airplane pilot. Amelia was invited to fly across the Atlantic Ocean but just as a passenger to learn. Amelia's teen age years were hard. Her Dad couldn't keep his job, so the family split up. Amelia's mother took Amelia and the girls to Chicago. Amelia went to Hyde Park High School in Chicago. After that Amelia trained to be a nurse aid at a hospital in Toronto.
Amelia wanted to prove that women can do everything men could do. Amelia was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. To fly across the globe Amelia needed a special plane called the Electra. Amelia needed two navigators with her. One of Amelia's navigators couldn't continue the flight with her. Some time before she disappeared Amelia opened the doors to the world and said, '' You can do anything you wish to do.''

This was a beautiful tiled Riad. It was cool in the heat with nice chairs and lounges to sit and relax in the public areas. Our room was large as was the bathroom. The room and the bathroom were clean. There was even a sofa to sit. There were fresh flowers in the room-a really nice touch. The staff was outstanding-if we wanted to walk somewhere they offered someone to show us the way, if we wanted a taxi one was called right away. The dinner and breakfasts were very good and nicely served. The rooftop terrace had nice seating and a nice view of the streets below. It was a little way to the main square as it sat near the medina edge but it was worth it for the surroundings and outstanding friendly staff. It was a beautiful place to end our Moroccan trip.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/5/2013 (1574 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Manitoba Jockey Club and Peguis First Nation are in the final stages of negotiations to put up a massive new hotel and convention centre development on the site of the Portage Avenue thoroughbred racetrack.
MJC officials say the new partnership will be a major step towards securing the future of live horse racing in Manitoba for years to come.
Just 90 days after learning through the media that the provincial NDP government had hatched a backroom plan to bankrupt the MJC and turn their lands over to the Red River Exhibition, MJC officials were buoyant on Thursday as they discussed a partnership with Peguis they say guarantees live horse racing this summer and lays the groundwork for many years to come.
Assiniboia Downs CEO Darren Dunn was elated Thursday afternoon following a news conference and luncheon at the Portage Avenue track at which he laid out the details of a full summer racing meet many were venturing even just weeks ago might never happen.
"To be able to stand here today in front of a full house of people just 90 days after learning the government was trying to bankrupt us and tell everyone that there will be a guaranteed 60-day live meet this year is a great feeling of satisfaction," Dunn said in an interview following the news conference.
"We owe a lot a lot of thanks to our unwavering partner, Peguis, who have stood by us through all of this. And we owe a lot of thanks to all the citizens of Winnipeg who were disgusted by the government's behavior in this whole process and have told us they intend to vote with their feet for us and with their voices in the next election."
Dunn said negotiations with Peguis on a new development adjacent to the Downs on the 140-acre parcel of land the track controls — including two new hotels and a convention centre — are nearing completion.
"We're in the late stages of finalizing our deal with Peguis First Nation," Dunn told the Free Press. "We've secured an architect, drawings are underway, plans are being formulated as we speak and we expect to have that plan concluded within the next 60 days and have everyone back here to show them what we've been working on for a year now."
The first of 60 days of live racing will go to post this Sunday afternoon. Dunn said after an initial lull created by the uncertainty generated by the government's plan to bankrupt the Downs, trainers and owners from across North America have given the track's plan to survive a big vote of confidence in recent weeks.
Dunn said a total of 550 horses are on the backstretch right now, with about 100-150 more expect soon, which would be more than the track operated with last year.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I will be raising a nice tall drink in celebration at the end of what I'm sure will be a very long day on Sunday," Dunn said.
Dunn said NDP MLA Jim Rondeau was invited to attend today's news conference, but he declined. Opposition leader Brian Pallister did attend, however, pledging his support for the MJC and scolding the government for developing a hopelessly botched plan for Manitoba horse racing in a "backroom... on a cocktail napkin."
A judge's ruling is expected to be handed down this Monday in response to the MJC's motion for a court to impose an injunction on the government's plan to strip the track of $5 million a year in revenue it earns from the 140 VLT's it operates at the Downs.
Sources said the RCMP are also continuing their investigation into a formal complaint the MJC made to police alleging finance minister Stan Struthers' behind the scenes machinations to bankrupt the Downs and turn over their land to the Ex constitutes breach of trust and maybe even fraud.
Dunn was also in the news himself on Thursday, as he announced he is retiring as the track's announcer after calling over 15,000 races to focus his full attention on the new partnership with Peguis.
Meanwhile, the Downs will also be the centre of particular attention this Saturday when the Kentucky Derby goes to post. Goldencents, a three-year-old colt out of a Manitoba-bred mare who once raced at the Downs and was owned by local entrepeneur Phil Kives, is listed as the third-favorite at odds of 5-1.
It's the first time in memory that a horse with such strong connections to the Manitoba breeding industry has run in North American thoroughbred racing's marquee event.

Hey everyone,
I am a UK resident, currently living in Australia on a 417 subclass working holiday visa. This expires April 2016 at which point I would like to go and travel Canada.
I don't have any information on Canada at the moment so I am looking for advice from fellow travellers.
How long are you allowed to stay there for, are you allowed to work whilst there? Ideally I would like to teach snowboarding or work at a ski resort whilst I am there.
Any tips, info or advice would be a massive help.
Thank you in advance

Part 3 of New Apple MacBook Series:
MacBook Pro
In January, after the release of the MacBook Air, I had issues with the product and was telling people to wait until it was revised a bit before buying. I didn't think it would take over 9 months to update but I think the next release will hit the sweet spot. So let's go back to my January post and see if Apple can improve on any of the ten things I found to be lacking in revision 1.
- The processor. This will be a big difference. Instead of a 65nm processor, the new Air will get a 45nm processor that will be significantly faster per clock cycle and at the same time, squeeze more life out of the battery. Intel's SL9400 (1.8GHz) and the SL9300 (1.6GHz) use a 1066MHz FSB and carry 6MB of L2 cache at 17 Watts. These are the most likely candidates but perhaps Apple will get another custom job from Intel.
- Wireless. Honestly, if Apple doesn't integrate 3G wireless (at least as an option) into this version, I am going to run amok. Three years ago Dell and HP were offering this on their laptops. Is there a laptop on earth better suited to having 3G integrated? Steve Jobs said that it was too difficult (1) to put the 3G components into a computer? I've heard some companies even managed to get these internals into a phone so I am not buying this or his rationale that it would limit carrier choice!
- Rev 1 parts are glitchy. Actually they were pretty reliable - especially compared to the MacBook Pros. Rev 2's are traditionally better. False alarm.
- 80GB Hard Drive is still slower than I would like. It will probably be upgraded to 120Gb just like the iPod Classic that shares the same drive. If Apple could add 3 millimeters of space, the Toshiba 240Gb 1.8 inch drive becomes an option. * wipes drool*
- That
$1000$500 64GB SSD drive will hopefully be updated to an 80Gb (Intel) - 128Gb (Samsung, others) variety. The $500 price cuts about halfway though the cycle helped make it more palatable...but it is still a hefty price to pay for a technology that isn't bearing as many fruits in the performance/power area as originally thought. Snow Leopard might be able to take better advantage of SSDs.
- Docks. Not much has happened in this area - I guess the idea of a dock is a legacy one...Perhaps I was inspired by Apple's patent on a iMac type dock. I am still holding out hope. On a related note, I'd like to see the Air get some beefier integrated graphics. Enough to drive a 30 inch monitor natively would be about right.
- Overall speed. The new processor, faster motherboard FSB and additional RAM should help in this area. Don't expect to model gene splicing on this little guy but you might be able to do some quick Photoshop work if you aren't too picky.
- Expandability. I don't need to get at anything inside this computer as long as it has what I need inside from the get go. RAM and battery issues have been a sore spot for the higher end MacBook Air users. I think (hope!) Apple will double the RAM to 4Gb and throw a better processor and other software and hardware optimizations can get a few more hours out of the battery per charge. Oh, and one guy actually managed to get EVDO into his Air. Apple...hint, hint.
- Size. OK, I was wrong on this. Apple, nice work. Keep it the same. Oh...a little tidbit here. The likely choice of 16:9 screen updates across the line don't come in 13.3 inch sizes. Will we see a 14.1 inch MacBook Air with less wasted space around the side edges of the screen like on MacBook Pros? I hope so!
- Price drops. Apple has already delivered on this largely, dropping the MacBook Air SSD option by $500. I think Apple will up performance rather than drop prices more to avoid competing with regular MacBooks.
After waiting over nine months, I am hoping the MacBook Air can deliver on at last some of these expectations. They aren't a huge stretch for the price premium Apple expects to get for the Air over a redesigned MacBook. Help a fanboy out...
Air does not come with the built-in ability to connect to a speedy wireless data network run by various cellular carriers. Jobs told me last week that Apple considered it but that adding the capability would take up room and restrict consumers to a particular carrier. Through a USB modem, he says, you can still subscribe to wireless broadband with your favorite carrier.
