We already demonstrated that the addiction of PBS to Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) has no negative effects in term of ovarian function, evaluated by anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Antral Follicle Count (AFC), mean ovarian diameters and Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV). In addition, in our experience, no negative surgical outcomes (in terms of operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative return to normal activity and complication rate) are related to PBS step in TLH.
Although the good statistical reliability of our retrospective data, we want to prospectively confirm our results. Moreover we aim to refine PBS safety demonstration by collecting also 3D ultrasound parameters [AFC, ovarian volume (OV), Vascularization Index (VI), Flow Index (FI) and Vascularization Flow Index (VFI)]. Hormonal and ultrasonographic parameters may possibly be unified into a new diagnostic algorithm (already at an advanced stage of production in UMG Department) able to estimate the ovarian function both in term of reproductive ability that in term of distance from menopause.

|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Laparoscopic myomectomy plus PBS
A Laparoscopic myomectomy plus Prophylactic bilateral salpingectomy will be performed in women which have accomplished their reproductive desire
Procedure: Prophylactic bilateral salpingectomy
Salpingectomy will be performed by coagulation and section of the tube, beginning from the very distal fimbrial end, carefully preserving the ovarian vascularization, and proceeding toward the uterine cornu
Other Name: PBS, bilateral salpingectomy
Active Comparator: Laparoscopic myomectomy without PBS
A standard laparoscopic myomectomy without any prophylactic salpingectomy will be performed
Procedure: Laparoscopic myomectomy without PBS
Standard laparoscopic myomectomy without salpingectomy
Other Name: LM
Detailed Description:
We will enroll the first 77 patients who will agree to implement PBS to laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) (study group), starting from September 1, 2013. Other 77 patients who will ask us to undergo LM without the addiction of PBS will constitute the control group. For each patient, ovarian reserve modification before and after surgery will be recorded as the primary outcome. Specifically, one month before and three months after laparoscopy, on day 1 to 4 of menstrual cycles serum AMH, FSH and E2 will be evaluated and a transvaginal ultrasound examination (Voluson E8 Expert or Voluson-i - GE Healthcare Ultrasound) to assess AFC, OV, VI, FI and VFI, will be carried out by the same experienced ultrasonographist responsible for the ambulatory of ovarian reserve in each Unit.
Ovarian reserve modification will be defined as the difference (expressed as Δ) between post-operative and pre-operative values of AMH, FSH, AFC, OV, VI, FI and VFI. For each surgical procedure, moreover, operative time, variation of hemoglobin level, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative return to normal activity and complication rate will be recorded as secondary outcomes.

Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian described his political career as "bad timing all around" in an Aug. 29 appearance at the Rotary Club of Los Altos.
Simitian faced a number of challenges during his previous term on the Board of Supervisors, 1997-2000; as assemblyman for the 21st District, 2000-2004; and as state senator for the 11th District, 2004-2012.
His examples of "bad timing" included serving during the state's energy crisis, budget crisis and recall of former Gov. Gray Davis. To top it off, in his first six weeks in Sacramento, a driver crashed his truck into the State Capitol building, setting it ablaze.
Once again elected to the Board of Supervisors last November, Simitian and fellow supervisors must address the potential imminent bankruptcy of the ambulance company that serves the area and the possibility its collapse could endanger reliable response to 911 calls.
"Nevertheless," Simitian joked, "it's great to be home."
Simitian summarized his three primary areas of responsibility on the county board: safeguarding the fiscal strength and stability of local government; preparing county residents for the Affordable Care Act's Oct. 1 enrollment and Jan. 1 operation dates; and solving problems in the 10 cities he represents.
In determining priorities, Simitian said he asks himself, "Does it make a difference in the daily lives of the people I represent?"
According to Simitian, local problems include homelessness, transportation, education, elder abuse, highway safety and prison realignment, a plan that would transfer many state prisoners to county jails.
During a question and answer session, an audience member raised the state's challenge in funding $1.8 billion in state employees' pensions and health care. Simitian agreed that unfunded liabilities might be the county's most pressing problem.
To address the pension problem, Simitian said the Board of Supervisors recently voted to move $100 million from reserves to the CalPERS Employers' Retiree Benefits Trust to generate a 7.5 percent return rate. In addition, 60 percent of new redevelopment funding will be applied to unfunded liabilities. Simitian said San Francisco lawmakers tackled a similar problem a few years ago in a collaborative way and suggested that Santa Clara County take the same approach.

The Bank Trade Finally Rotates
Time to unwind one of the biggest trades I have seen in some time: buy the big banks and sell the small ones. For the longest time, the large mutual funds and hedge funds have been buying up Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) and selling the regional banks, like BB&T (BBT), First Horizon (FHN), Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) and KeyCorp (KEY).
The thought? The big banks have many levers and are extremely undervalued compared with where they have traded in the past, while the regionals are just hostage to the mortgage market and to how little they can make by lending for homes because of how low interest rates are....559 more words left in this article.

" Brand: John Frieda / Type: Conditioner / Texture: Cream "
I am a massive fan of all the John Freida Frizz Ease range and this is my favourite product in the range. I'm not a big hair product user but this one for me, coupled with the hair serum from the range, is an essential item. I have been using this product now for more than 10 years and have never found anything that compares. I have long dark hair that has a slight kink to it (not a curl) and a frizz to it, especially when subjected to moisture (rain/humidity/shower etc)
The conditioner comes in a top down, tube style silver bottle that is smart and effective, no spillages etc and you get every last drop out of the bottle. It is only available, as far as I am aware in one size which is 250ml and costs around £5 a bottle (I usually buy it in Boots) although you can pick up cheaper when on offer. The conditioner is white with a thick creamy consistency, it has nice smell which stays in your hair even after drying. The smell is difficult to describe but is pleasant and fresh.
I use the conditioner every second day, sometimes after using the matching shampoo and sometimes not, either way it works effectively. I find it best to smooth it onto the ends of my hair and leave it for a few seconds before working it through all the bottom of my hair. It rinses easily in a few minutes and doesn't leave any build up on my hair. It can be used on the roots but my preference is not too as I am prone to greasy hair. Once towelled dry I find my hair very easy to comb and much easier to blow dry than if I use any other conditioner. My hair always has a glossy shine and looks in good condition and less frizz than normal which I think is due to this product
This is a product I would highly recommend to anyone who has frizzy, curly or generally troublesome hair. It is a must for me.
I have what you might call 'problem hair'; it is long and naturally curly, and has a tendency to be dry and go mad doing its own thing! Because of this, I have tried quite a number of different conditioners that claim to make your hair less dry and more manageable, but this is far and away the best one I have used. This product has fairly nice packaging, but the lid is a bit of a pain! The 'tin' itself (its metal and more like a deodrant can than a shampoo bottle) is silver, and does look quite 'sophisticated' (if its possible for a conditioner bottle to do so!), and contains 250ml of the product. The lid, however, is quite strange; you twist it round and this lifts up the top so you can pump the conditioner out. This sounds fine, but it has to be down to twist it back, which can be quite tricky to accomplish with wet hands and conditioner in one of them, and also means that sometimes you end up dispensing more of the product than you really need, as you forget to hold the lid down, so can't close it! The conditioner itself is thick and white, and smells a bit like hair wax, although it isn't overly scented. It is quite a floral smell, and does linger a bit on your hair, so I'm not sure if blokes would like to use it! Applying it is easy, but it can be quite hard to rinse it all out, especially if like me you haven't got a shower so have to wash your hair in the bath! On the plus side, this conditioner really does work. Since I started using it, my hair is a lot less frizzy and more glossy than it used to be. It isn't the cheapest of conditioners, around the average of 2 quid for a 'designer' product, but I think it is definitely worth the money as it does exactly what it claims to do, unlike so many I have used in the past! I haven't seen this product available in many shops (I got it from Sainsburys), but I expect that Boots and bigger places will be stocking it soo
n if they aren't already! If you have dry, curly or damaged hair, this product is really fantastic at improving the condition and looks of it, well worth giving a try, although it probably wouldn't be suitable for fine hair as its a bit rich and might make it look greasy!!

WASHINGTON, D.C. The Department of Homeland Security has teamed up with Walmart to bring its "If You See Something, Something" campaign to more communities throughout the United States.
More than 230 Walmart stores nationwide are now playing a short video message at select checkout locations. A total of 588 Walmart stores in 27 states will implement the program in the coming weeks, the company reported.
"Homeland security starts with hometown security, and each of us plays a critical role in keeping our country and communities safe," said Secretary Janet Napolitano. "I applaud Walmart for joining the 'If You See Something, Say Something' campaign. This partnership will help millions of shoppers across the nation identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to law enforcement authorities."
The "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign originated in New York City through its Metropolitan Transportation Authority and over the past five months has expanded to other states.

Baker forced to switch lineup after D-backs drop DH
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Reds manager Dusty Baker and D-backs skipper Kirk Gibson didn't see eye-to-eye over having the pitcher bat during Monday's Cactus League game, which led to a heated exchange.
In the original Reds lineup posted on Monday morning, Shin-Soo Choo was leading off and the designated hitter. That was the plan Baker wanted to go with because Choo had missed a few days with tight right quadriceps and he didn't want to use him in center field again just yet.
"He's well enough to DH. He was well enough yesterday but I want to make sure he's feeling good," Baker said before the team left its complex in Goodyear.
Upon arrival at Salt River Fields, the Reds found that Gibson had a different plan.
"He wanted his pitcher to hit and I wanted Choo to DH," Baker said following a 7-2 Reds loss. "They sent over word that's what they wanted to do. It would have been fine with me to do both. It's up to the home team of what they want to do. Usually here we let teams DH early."
Baker also was denied the offer of letting his team use a DH while the D-backs use their pitcher to hit.
In the new Reds lineup, second baseman Cesar Izturis -- originally the No. 2 hitter -- moved up to bat leadoff. Baker said he would have been OK with his team using a DH and Arizona having the pitcher hit. But that didn't happen.
Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto had to bat for the Reds and struck out looking in the third inning.
"That was a big surprise. I was not allowed to swing the bat," Cueto said.
D-backs starter Brandon McCarthy also had one plate appearance in the third and grounded out to the catcher.
"It was a good locker-room talk. Read between the lines," Gibson said after the game. "It was a good talk. It was just, whatever. They knew that we were going to do it that way. I had it happen last year with a team, they tried to put the DH in there and that's not the way it's done. I wanted to play a National League game, I notified them several times and they just wanted to do it their way and they couldn't do it. So they didn't like that. But we play by the rules here, that's the way it is. We go over there, we play by their rules. It's very simple."
At the exchange of lineup cards, there were some words between the two managers. Gibson offered to shake hands, but Baker refused.
"We didn't have a very pleasant encounter at home plate," Baker said. "That's how it goes. It's over."
Choo did appear as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning and flied out to left field.

TNA Business Model Part II
by, 10-15-2012 at 05:02 PM (5440 Views)
Hello again folks in last weeks edition I looked at TNA going into major venues for PPV events and got many questions on how this would be done well this week I will gladly explain how things will become.
December 3rd 2012 Game Changer
President Andy Barton of TNA wrestling along with Dixie Carter, Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Jarrett is in a conference office at the TNA world headquarters in Nashville awaiting a meeting a knock is heard on the door. Enters Cary Silkin President of ROH wrestling, Ross Abrams - Executive of ROH and founder of ROH Rob Feinstein and Gabe Sapolsky into the conference room. Gentlemen have a seat today we are here to discusses are future Partnership and plans.
TNA Buys ROH wrestling to become one. they will however keep there spert shows TNA Impact Wrestling will be moved to NBC keeping it's same time slot at 8pm to 10pm on Thursdays. TNA Ring Of Honor would debut on Spike TV at a 8pm to 9pm time-slot on Tuesdays. Now you may wonder why I kept TNA the company name and moved Impact wrestling to NBC in its same time slot and day and ROH to Spike TV in a one hour format. Keeping TNA the company name is simple it is known around the world thus why putting a well known show like TNA Impact Wrestling on a channel everyone gets no matter what is a smart move. Now my reason for making TNA Ring of Honor a one hour format on Spike is simple yes ROH has a fan base but its not globe like Impact Wrestling is. This would be the same way Impact Wrestling started on Spike years ago and then advanced to a 2 hour show. The two company's s are one now but the goal is to make them feel like to separate company's even tho there not TNA guys would only appear on Impact Wrestling and Ring Of Honor wrestlers would only appear on TNA Ring Of Honor. The Only time we may see a cross promotion match is at a monthly PPV.
December 10th 2012 Going Public
On this day in New York Total Non Stop action becomes a public traded company on the new york stock exchange. Later that evening they hold a press conference at Madison Square Garden. Announcing the new Presidents of TNA Wrestling now with the addition of ROH. They are as followed.

- Concise review : interferon-free treatment of hepatitis C virus-associated cirrhosis and liver graft infection (2016)
- Chronic hepatitis C is a major reason for development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and a leading cause for liver transplantation. The development of direct-acting antiviral agents lead to (pegylated) interferon-alfa free antiviral therapy regimens with a remarkable increase in sustained virologic response (SVR) rates and opened therapeutic options for patients with advanced cirrhosis and liver graft recipients. This concise review gives an overview about most current prospective trials and cohort analyses for treatment of patients with liver cirrhosis and liver graft recipients. In patients with compensated cirrhosis Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CTP) class A, all approved agents are safe and SVR rates do not significantly differ from patients without cirrhosis in general. In patients with decompensated cirrhosis CTP class B or C, daclastasvir, ledipasvir, velpatasvir, and sofosbuvir are approved, and SVR rates higher than 90% can be achieved. Especially for patients with a model of end stage liver disease score higher than 15 and therefore eligible for liver transplantation, data is scarce. Reported SVR rates in patients with cirrhosis CTP class C are lower compared to patients with a less severe liver disease. In liver transplant recipients with a maximum of CTP class A, SVR rates are comparable to patients without LT. Patients with decompensated graft cirrhosis should be treated on an individual basis.
- Baseline MELD score predicts hepatic decompensation during antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C and advanced cirrhosis (2013)
- Background and Aims: In patients with advanced liver cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection antiviral therapy with peginterferon and ribavirin is feasible in selected cases only due to potentially life-threatening side effects. However, predictive factors associated with hepatic decompensation during antiviral therapy are poorly defined. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, 68 patients with HCV-associated liver cirrhosis (mean MELD score 9.18±2.72) were treated with peginterferon and ribavirin. Clinical events indicating hepatic decompensation (onset of ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hospitalization) as well as laboratory data were recorded at baseline and during a follow up period of 72 weeks after initiation of antiviral therapy. To monitor long term sequelae of end stage liver disease an extended follow up for HCC development, transplantation and death was applied (240weeks, ±SD 136weeks). Results: Eighteen patients (26.5%) achieved a sustained virologic response. During the observational period a hepatic decompensation was observed in 36.8%. Patients with hepatic decompensation had higher MELD scores (10.84 vs. 8.23, p<0.001) and higher mean bilirubin levels (26.74 vs. 14.63 µmol/l, p<0.001), as well as lower serum albumin levels (38.2 vs. 41.1 g/l, p = 0.015), mean platelets (102.64 vs. 138.95/nl, p = 0.014) and mean leukocytes (4.02 vs. 5.68/nl, p = 0.002) at baseline as compared to those without decompensation. In the multivariate analysis the MELD score remained independently associated with hepatic decompensation (OR 1.56, 1.18–2.07; p = 0.002). When the patients were grouped according to their baseline MELD scores, hepatic decompensation occurred in 22%, 59%, and 83% of patients with MELD scores of 6–9, 10–13, and >14, respectively. Baseline MELD score was significantly associated with the risk for transplantation/death (p<0.001). Conclusions: Our data suggest that the baseline MELD score predicts the risk of hepatic decompensation during antiviral therapy and thus contributes to decision making when antiviral therapy is discussed in HCV patients with advanced liver cirrhosis.
- Soluble serum CD81 is elevated in patients with chronic hepatitis C and correlates with alanine aminotransferase serum activity (2012)
- Aim: Cellular CD81 is a well characterized hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry factor, while the relevance of soluble exosomal CD81 in HCV pathogenesis is poorly defined. We performed a case-control study to investigate whether soluble CD81 in the exosomal serum fraction is associated with HCV replication and inflammatory activity. Patients and Methods: Four cohorts were investigated, patients with chronic hepatitis C (n = 37), patients with chronic HCV infection and persistently normal ALT levels (n = 24), patients with long term sustained virologic response (SVR, n = 7), and healthy volunteers (n = 23). Concentration of soluble CD81 was assessed semi-quantitatively after differential centrifugation ranging from 200 g to 100,000 g in the fifth centrifugation fraction by immunoblotting and densitometry. Results: Soluble CD81 was increased in patients with chronic hepatitis C compared to healthy subjects (p = 0.03) and cured patients (p = 0.017). Patients with chronic HCV infection and persistently normal ALT levels and patients with long term SVR had similar soluble CD81 levels as healthy controls (p>0.2). Overall, soluble CD81 levels were associated with ALT levels (r = 0.334, p = 0.016) and severe liver fibrosis (p = 0.027). Conclusion: CD81 is increased in the exosomal serum fraction in patients with chronic hepatitis C and appears to be associated with inflammatory activity and severity of fibrosis.
- Anti-angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment : current evidence and future perspectives (2011)
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the most common cancer diseases worldwide. Arterial hypervascularisation is an essential step for HCC tumorigenesis and can be targeted by transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). This interventional method is the standard treatment for patients with intermediate stage HCC, but is also applied as "bridging" therapy for patients awaiting liver transplantation in many centers worldwide. Usually the devascularization effect induced by TACE is transient, consequently resulting in repeated cycles of TACE every 4-8 wk. Despite documented survival benefits, TACE can also induce the up-regulation of proangiogenic and growth factors, which might contribute to accelerated progression in patients with incomplete response. In 2007, sorafenib, a multi-tyrosine kinase and angiogenesis inhibitor, was approved as the first systemic treatment for advanced stage HCC. Other active targeted compounds, either inhibitors of angiogenesis and/or growth factors, are currently being investigated in numerous clinical trials. To overcome revascularisation or tumor progression under TACE treatment it seems therefore attractive to combine TACE with systemic targeted agents, which might theoretically block the effects of proangiogenic and growth factors. Over the last 12 mo, several retrospecretrospective or prospective cohort studies combining TACE and sorafenib have been published. Nevertheless, robust results of the efficacy and tolerability of such combination strategies as proven by randomized, controlled trials are awaited in the next two years.
- Thymostimulin versus placebo for palliative treatment of locally advanced or metastasised hepatocellular carcinoma: a phase III clinical trial (2010)
- Background: Thymostimulin is a thymic peptide fraction with immune-mediated cytotoxicity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vitro and palliative efficacy in advanced HCC in two independent phase II trials. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of thymostimulin in a phase III trial. Methods: The study was designed as a prospective randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter clinical phase III trial. Between 10/2002 and 03/2005, 135 patients with locally advanced or metastasised HCC (Karnofsky [greater than or equal to]60% / Child-Pugh [less than or equal to]12) were randomised to receive thymostimulin 75 mg s.c. 5x/week or placebo stratified according to liver function. Primary endpoint was twelve-month survival, secondary endpoints overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), tumor response, safety and quality of life. A subgroup analysis according to liver function, KPS and tumor stage (Okuda, CLIP and BCLC) formed part of the protocol. Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN64487365. Results: Twelve-month survival was 28% [95%CI 17-41; treatment] and 32% [95%CI 19-44; control] with no significant differences in median OS (5.0 [95% CI 3.7-6.3] vs. 5.2 [95% CI 3.5-6.9] months; p=0.87, HR=1.04 [95% CI 0.7-1.6]) or TTP (5.3 [95%CI 2.0-8.6] vs. 2.9 [95%CI 2.6-3.1] months; p=0.60, HR=1.13 [95% CI 0.7-1.8]). Adjustment for liver function, Karnofsky status or tumor stage did not affect results. While quality of life was similar in both groups, fewer patients on thymostimulin suffered from accumulating ascites and renal failure. Conclusions: In our phase III trial, we found no evidence of any benefit to thymostimulin in the treatment of advanced HCC and there is therefore no justification for its use as single-agent treatment. The effect of thymostimulin on hepato-renal function requires further confirmation. trial registration: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN64487365

"There should be no doubt or label of fluke on our championships," said Hakeem Olajuwon. "As for Michael Jordan, a lot of people don't know and never looked up our matchups with Chicago during that time. If you check the records, you'll see that we beat them on a consistent basis when Michael was playing and winning his first three championships.
That made me think, what if Jordan didn't retire in 93? Would the Rockets have beaten the Bulls? Or better yet, would they have beaten the Pacers to even get that far?

text: The The Fury wiki last edited by Novawing on 12/01/14 01:41PM View full history OriginEarth-238On an alternate Earth (Earth-238), Mad Jim Jaspers created the Fury to kill all superhumans save himself. Jaspers was a being capable of altering reality, so though the Fury is mechanical, it isn't like any other machine or cyborg. Part robot, part living flesh, the Fury is certainly one of the most feared supervillains due its killing efficiency and durability. Fury did what it was programmed and killed every superhero in its world except for Captain UK, who escaped to Earth-616. Mad Jim Jaspers was found to be too dangerous so the temporal overseer destroyed Earth-238, but the Fury escaped to Earth-616 where it continued its mission to kill superhumans. Fury also found this reality's Mad Jim Jaspers and decided that since he wasn't the original Jaspers, it could kill him. They battled. Jim could alter reality, but the Fury could adapt itself in order to counter anything Jim did. So, they were at a stalemate until the Fury transported them both to the now empty void where Earth-238 had been. Mad Jim had no reality to manipulate so the Fury killed him. When it returned, the Crazy Gang, then Captain Britain, and finally Captain UK attacked it while it was still weak, each further damaging it before being overpowered, until Captain U.K. finally destroyed it.Earth-616 FuryA severely weakened version of the Fury was created by Jamie Braddock (Uncanny X-Men #444) to test the X-Men. On the first go-round it broke Cannonball's leg, knocked Rachel into the sky, knocked out Bishop and came close to killing each of them individually. He then used Sage's glasses to take over her mind. It was only defeated when Rachel Grey created a black hole inside of it, with the help of Storm, Sage and Bishop, sucking it in and teleporting it away, but not destroying it. It later returned to Earth-616, but Merlyn used the Captain Britain and Spider-Man of Earth-9411 to cast it back into the interdimensional void. It pursued Captain Britain-9411 back to his reality, slaughtering most of that world's superhumans, before Captain Britain used the Ultimate Nullifier to destroy it.Later on in Uncanny X-Men #462, Mad Jim Jaspers was resurrected in Otherworld, but his body was tainted by a portion of the Fury that slowly grew within him. Then he created an army of creatures similar to the Fury; though the weakest versions yet, they slaughtered many of the Captain Britain Corps, but when the Fury taint tried to usurp Jaspers' body, he destroyed his own Furies while trying to resist it. The Fury ultimately took over his form, transforming it into a duplicate of it's own body, but, weakened by Jaspers' mind still fighting for control, it was destroyed by Excalibur and the Exiles. CreationThe Fury is a Marvel comics character who first appears in Marvel Super-Heroes #387 released in 1982. The Fury was created by Alan Moore and Alan Davis. Fury receives his name from Alice in Wonderland, like many of the other characters from his first story arc do. Powers and AbilitiesThe Fury is capable of adapting itself in any way in order to complete its assignment to kill superhumans. Its powers exists as long as he needs them. Since it can give itself any power it needs, no list of its powers would ever be complete. It is able to see superhumans' weaknesses and adapts itself accordingly, to help kill them all. It can find a way to kill anything and survive in any situation. From every attack used against it, The Fury learns to neutralize it. The Fury is also virtually impossible to destroy. If even the smallest part of it remains, it can rebuild itself completely by using surrounding materials. The greatest showing of this is that it was the only thing to survive when the entire reality Earth-238 was destroyed (Daredevils #6).The Fury has great analytical and tracking devices. It can even track its targets between dimensions; so it is almost impossible to escape it. The Fury would never stop until it has accomplished its goal to exterminate all super-humans. The Earth-616 version of the Fury was severely reduced in capability compared to the Earth-238 version, but still posed a lethal threat to the X-Men.

Jason Spezza is having back surgery that could keep him out two months. Ergo, the Ottawa Senators are in some trouble.
Spezza, 29, had 84 points in 80 games last season. He suffered a herniated disc against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday and will have it repaired on Friday. Senators GM Bryan Murray said there won't be timetable until Spezza starts rehab, but told reporters it'd be approximately two months—or about two-thirds of the season. The hope is that he'll be ready by the playoffs.
"Like us, he's devastated," Murray said of Spezza's reaction to the news, according to TSN.ca. "We all know the importance of Jason and what he brings to the table here as well. For him, and a young man coming off a great year, he was hoping to build on that."
Spezza, the league's fourth-leading scorer last season, had a similar procedure in 2006. He had five points in five games before his injury.
What this likely means is Kyle Turris centering the team's top line between Milan Michalek and Daniel Alfredsson. Turris, 23, has seven points in seven games this season, but has struggled mightily to drive puck possession at even-strength. It could also open up more playing time for top prospect Mika Zibanejad, who had an assist on Monday after Ottawa called him up. Zibanejad, 19, had four goals and 11 points in 23 games, six of which came in in his last eight.
Ottawa, a surprise playoff team last season under rookie coach Paul MacLean, is 5-1-1 and tied with the Boston Bruins for first place in the Northeast Division.

I own 2 Ionic Air Purifiers that I purchased from a retail Sharper Image store before they closed. In time the germicidal bulbs burned out. I researched and looked high and low to try and find replacemnt bulbs. After exhaustive searches I finally gave up and listened to the naysayers that said these bulbs were no longer available. Then lo and behold I discovered bulbs.com and searched their site and within a few minutes ordered the Phillips germicidal bulbs that fit the Ionic Breeze. The air purifiers were in perfect operating condition but I almost discarded them and would have had to spend hundreds of dollars on replacemnt air purifiers. Thanks to Bulbs.Com I am extremely satsified.

Update on number of suspected human cases of avian influenza A(H7) notified to CHP
The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) today (May 10) provided an update on the latest number of suspected human cases of avian influenza A(H7) notified to the CHP, including cases fulfilling reporting criteria and remaining ones not fulfilling reporting criteria.
From noon yesterday (May 9) to noon today, the CHP received notification of one case which fulfilled reporting criteria, and three cases which did not fulfil reporting criteria. (…)
This brings the total number of notifications received by the CHP since March 31 of cases fulfilling reporting criteria of suspected human cases of avian influenza A(H7) to 22, and the total number of notifications not fulfilling reporting criteria to 84.
A DH spokesman urged travellers not to visit wet markets with live poultry in the affected areas, and to avoid direct contact with poultry, birds or their droppings. If contacts have been made, they should thoroughly wash hands with soap and water.
"Influenza A(H7) is a statutorily notifiable infectious disease in Hong Kong.''
''Locally, no confirmed human cases of avian influenza A(H7N9) have been recorded so far," the spokesman stressed.
The spokesman reminded doctors to report to the CHP any suspected case of influenza A(H7). The Public Health Laboratory Services Branch of the CHP is ready to receive and test specimens whenever necessary.
The public may visit the CHP's avian influenza page (www.chp.gov.hk/en/view_content/24244.html) for further information.

SAN BERNARDINO – Police are looking for three men who were standing with a man when he was shot and killed Sunday at the Meadowbrook Tower apartments.
The homicide victim, identified Tuesday as 22-year-old Anthony Eugene Yearby of Los Angeles, died at Loma Linda University Medical Center at 12:51 p.m., San Bernardino County coroner's officials said.
Police have been able to interview two of the men who were standing with Yearby, but they can't find the other three.
"We're still looking for three males that need to be questioned," said San Bernardino police Sgt. Gary Robertson.
Police came to the parking lot of the complex in the 100 block of West Second Street about noon on a report of a shooting.
They found Yearby suffering from gunshot wounds.
A 35-year-old woman, described by police as being homeless, was standing in a homeless encampment with her boyfriend about 300 yards away when a stray bullet hit her on her right side.
Paramedics also took her to Loma Linda, where she underwent surgery and was listed in stable condition.
Robertson said Yearby and five other men were standing around several vehicles when at least one person in a vehicle drove up to the group and opened fire.
Investigators are unsure if Yearby, who was in the area visiting his girlfriend, was the intended target.
"At this point, we don't have anything to indicate that words were exchanged prior to the shooting," Robertson said.

The automotive aftermarket is a $31 billion a year industry and the lion's share of those parts purchased are made for Chevrolet products (past and present). One of the hottest cars in the aftermarket right now is the fifth-gen Camaro and Chevrolet Performance is looking to get its share of those dollars.
We traveled to Las Vegas Motor Speedway to drive a host of new Camaros equipped with Chevrolet Performance's latest and greatest hardware. Chevrolet Performance has released a comprehensive collection of factory-engineered performance parts and accessories for fifth-generation Camaros, 2010 model year and newer. Many of the parts preserve the vehicle warranty when installed by a Chevydealer, an advantage aftermarket installers cannot provide, according to Chevrolet.
"The same people who design and engineer these vehicles are designing and engineering these aftermarket parts," saidShandor Piszar, GM's Performance Vehicles & Motorsports Director. "The people buying these parts know they will be durable components that fit exactly right."
Mark Dickens, Director, Performance Variants, Performance Parts & Motorsports Engineering, added, "We know the tradeoffs that are made for production, so we have a parting place to start engineering these parts. We use the same facilities to develop these parts as we do the production cars—the proving grounds, the wind tunnel and the race track. No aftermarket company can match this."
According to Chevrolet Performance, the portfolio of parts is designed to make the fifth-gen Camaro V-6 and SS models more capable on the street and track and includes components from the high-performance Camaro ZL1 and the road racing-oriented Camaro SS 1LE package.
For customers interested in drag racing or high-horsepower projects, Chevrolet Performance offers the new ZL1 rear driveline system. It is the strongest independent rear axle option available for the Camaro, featuring a 9.9-inch rear differential mounted in a robust cast iron center section (vs. the aluminum center section in SS and V-6 models) and additional high-strength components.
For customers interested in road-racing or improved handling, Chevrolet Performance offers suspension components from the Camaro 1LE, which is homologated for competition in SCCA's T2 class. The same components in the Chevrolet Performance 1LE Track Pack enabled a production Camaro SS 1LE to circle Virginia International Raceway in less than three minutes.
"Chevrolet Performance is the first stop for owners building a competitive, durable Camaro for the track," said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice president of performance vehicles and motorsports. "These Chevrolet Performance parts are based on Chevrolet factory-validated production components that were tested on racetracks and validated tostandards unmatched in the aftermarket industry. Quite simply, they're tailored for improved performance and built to the highest standards."
The parts are available directly from Chevrolet dealers, which can be found on the dealer locator at chevroletperformance.com or chevrolet.com.
On the track's road course, we got to do comparison drives of stock V-6 and 6.2L V-8-powered Camaro SS models and then similar cars with the 1LE suspension goodies, the ZL1's robust Brembo brakes with six-piston calipers and 3.91 gears. The results were startling. The ZL1 brake output is 20 percent better than that of the SS (which also uses Brembo components, though they employ four-piston calipers). In brake testing you could drive the cars faster and stop in considerably shorter distances with the ZL1 binders.
As for the handling, there was no comparison between the SS cars with the 1LE components and those without. The 1LE-shod cars were flatter in corners, more stable in transitions, and had a considerably higher level of grip.
As you can imagine, the 1LE suspension goodies turned the V-6 into a genuine Café Racer. According to Chevrolet's testing, the 1LE kit reduced body roll on the V-6 car by a whopping 40 percent and from behind the wheel we can tell you they're not exaggerating. It totally transformed the cars we sampled. The upgraded cars were so much more nimble and tossable there was no comparison. A car so equipped would make an outstanding daily driver with excellent fuel economy that could be a super fun weekend autocross/open track demon for less than the cost of an SS. It would have you searching out new, twisty roads to take to work.
As for the new CNC ported LS3 head and cam package, it ups the output by 40 horsepower and the heads can support a lot more than that. They flow like gangbusters: more than 350 cfm (intake side) with 276cc intake runners and 2.165/1.590-inch valves. The high-lift LS7 camshaft makes the most of the heads' airflow capabilities, with 0.558/0.558-inch lift and 211 degrees/230 degrees duration at 0.050-inch and a 121-degree lobe separation angle. Contents include the camshaft and fully assembled cylinder heads.
We were able to do some mad launches at the drag strip with a couple of SS Camaros equipped with the head/cam package, 3.91 gears, the ZL1 rear upgrades and Nitto NT05 drag radials (305/35x20). The cars made exceptional power throughout the rpm band—in fact, the rev limiters were raised to 7000 rpm! With the slick ZL1 short-throw shifter, we had a ball, though we only got to make two launches.
Camaro ZL1 components:

A trade between the New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers involving cornerback Darrelle Revis isn't off the table. SN correspondent Roy Cummings writes for the Tampa Tribune writes the Bucs still are very much interested in acquiring Revis, and their talks with the Jets will "heat up" again in the near future.
With the NFL calendar into April, it means the 2013 draft is just around the corner. The Bucs know that the Jets don't want to pay Revis, but they have been reluctant to meet the demands of that team wanting an immediate high draft pick in return.
The Bucs are aware they'll have a clear shot at one of this draft class' top corners if they stay put at No. 13 overall. Their preference for the highest possible compensation for Revis would rather include a first-rounder in 2014.
There's no question Tampa Bay needs a top-flight cornerback, and Revis is its ideal short-term solution. Expect the teams to work out something during the draft in three-plus weeks.

Artist: Capital Cities
Album: In A Tidal Wave of Mystery
Release Date: June 4, 2013
By: Stephanie Griffin
It took me seeing them live this past weekend to realize how awesome this band is. Capital Cities, whose top hit "Safe and Sound" is played on various radio stations, is definitely a new band to highlight before this year is over. Their debut album called In A Tidal Wave of Mystery, was released in the beginning of summer. The first single off the album, "Safe and Sound" became a top Summer favorite. Capital Cities is growing even more popular as they currently tour Fitz and the Tantrums this Fall. As a whole, In A Tidal Wave of Mystery is the ideal party album. What makes Capital Cities so unique is how they are able to bring an eighties pop feel in their songs, with the use of brass instruments and synthesizers. This combination just works, and every track brings its own little taste to their indie style.
Capital Cities is an indie electronic band out of Los Angeles. It first started as Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian, who began as jingle writers. Once the band was formed in 2010, they released some independent EP's with their first single, "Safe and Sound" actually being one of their first recorded tracks. The newest members include bassist Manny Quintero, trumpeter Spencer Ludwig, guitarist Nick Merwin, and drummer Channing Holmes.
The album kicks off with their first single, "Safe and Sound." Listening to the lyrics, the song can be interpreted for many different types of relationships: romantic, friendships, or even family. It's a song about promising to be there for each other. As the lyrics say, "I could lift you up, I could show you what you wanna see and take you where you wanna be."
Next on the album is "Patience Gets Us Nowhere Fast." The song sounds happy though its lyrics are pretty sad. The song goes, "I want it all and nothing less, I want it all, I want the best for you, I'm telling you the truth." Even though the lyrics portray some type of frustration with a relationship, the synthesizer in the background just makes you want to dance.
The third track is by far one of the best and hopefully a future single for Capital Cities. On tour, they open with "Kangaroo Court," another fun dancing song. It's one of those songs where the lyrics don't make sense, but in this case- who cares. This song is best for its instrumental sound, like the amazing part with the trumpet before the bridge.
The party album continues with more electronic catchy songs. "I Sold My Bed, But Not My Stereo" is one of those songs with a one-line chorus that can easily get stuck in your head. "Farrah Fawcett Hair" is another dance song that features hip-hop artist, Andre 3000, where again, the lyrics don't really make sense but it's a cool song to listen to. Then you hear tracks like "Chartreuse" and "Origami" that sound for a second as if they are songs to open for a video game. But what Capital Cities does best is take this electronic pop sound and give it a little funk with the use of piano and brass instruments. Whatever they use, each song has its own feel so you get a little bit of everything: dance, pop, electronic, rock, indie.
Towards the end of the album, it seems like this dance party is coming to an end. Songs like "Lazy Lies" and "Tell Me How To Live" are rather slow and different from the beginning of the album. The lyrics are also kind of depressing. As the lyrics of "Lazy Lies" say, "Sick and tired, and you wanna see a change
But you don't wanna change for me." You are basically going to hear certain songs on the album where the lyrics may not make sense. But songs like "Lazy Lies" actually tell a story. This variety works though and can show us Capital Cities can do more than just upbeat dance songs. Though they weren't my favorite songs on the album, the change in tone is something good to have. You don't want every song sounding the same.
It is clear though Capital Cities does a good job with getting songs stuck in your head. You will be looking forward to the last two tracks on this album because they are catchy, cute, and fun. "Love Away" is almost the perfect song to end a romantic comedy with. In this case, it's the best way to end In A Tidal Wave of Mysterybecause it is simple and cute. Anyone who listens to bands like the Fitz and the Tantrums, Miniature Tigers, Imagine Dragons, or Grouplove will definitely enjoy Capital Cities. Indie music nowadays is expanding to more subgenres like electronic, pop, dance, funk, and more. Capital Cities has a little bit of everything to offer on In a Tidal Wave of Mystery. They can continue their music career safely and soundly, as they become one of the best new artists this year.

Are market players waiting around for Congress to resolve the fiscal cliff, or for Friday's employment number, before they do anything? I ask because it sure felt like no one was interested in trading much Thursday. In fact, the market was so dull that I kept waiting for someone to tweet, "Never short a dull market," but the phrase never appeared in my Twitter stream.
As far as statistics are concerned, we have both good and bad news. On the positive side, once again, was Nasdaq breadth as measured by volume -- i.e., upside minus downside volume. This indicator has now eked out a higher high vs. last week, while the index itself is at a lower high.
On the negative side of the ledger, the Russell 2000 once again refused to play along, underperforming the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. That meant another rise in the ratios of the Russell to both of the other indices. Since mid-November this indicator has been heading lower as the Russell has outperformed. In the past two days it has been a laggard relative to its bigger-capitalized siblings. If you are on the bullish side of the market, you want to see the small-cap names get back in gear.
Away from that, when the major indices first reached resistance a week ago, I drew in a line showing the resistance. When the market got overbought, that line remained in place. The pullback has been relatively mild, and saw the development of the right shoulder in a potential head-and-shoulders bottom. If the market rallies some more, I expect many will begin to see this pattern.
I have picked on Nasdaq as my example, since here the head-and-shoulders formation is quite clear and almost symmetrical. What I would like to point out is that this 3025 area is not only the neckline, but also the underside of a broken uptrend line and downtrend line. It will not be easy to get through there, and I am not yet convinced the index is set up to do so, but it surely shows us the level to which we must pay attention.
Turning again to European exchanges, which I've been reviewing all week, here is the final installment: the U.K.'s FTSE 100. This index has been toying with this 5900-to-5925 zone for a week now -- or, shall we say, for three months. There isn't much difference here from what we're seeing on the Paris Cac and the German Dax, which we looked at earlier this week. The European markets have all outperformed that of the U.S., as well as bourses in the emerging markets. But, while they don't want to decline, they are spending a lot of time spinning their wheels at the old highs, almost as if there is not enough "oomph" left to push them over the hump.
Finally, I'll fulfill one more request and take a look at the chart of silver. If you'll recall, I already noted the other day that I thought gold should bounce off the support lines on its chart. It has done so -- albeit rather lethargically so far.
In any case, it's been quite some time since we checked on silver, and I don't see much to note here, other than the fact that the price has held above the uptrend line. I suppose the question is whether silver appears as though it can rally, and the answer is yes, but I don't think it will climb above $34 per ounce. To me it looks as though silver is trapped between $32 and $34. If it rallied poorly or just chugged around, it might even start to look as though it wanted to roll over and break $32. So the key is whether the metal can rally off this support area -- and so far it has not done so.

Krabbe disease is a rare genetic disorder of the nervous system. It is a type of brain disease called leukodystrophy.
Globoid cell leukodystrophy; Galactosylcerebrosidase deficiency; Galactosylceramidase deficiency
A defect in the GALC gene causes Krabbe disease. People with this gene defect do not make enough of a substance called galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase (galactosylceramidase).
The body needs this substance to make myelin, the material that surrounds and protects nerve fibers. Without it, myelin breaks down, brain cells die, and nerves in the brain and other body areas do not work properly.
Krabbe disease can develop at various ages:
Krabbe disease is inherited, which means it is passed down through families. If both parents carry the nonworking copy of the gene related to this condition, each of their children has a 25% (1 in 4) chance of developing the disease. (See: Autosomal recessive pattern)
This condition is very rare. It is most common among people of Scandinavian descent.
Symptoms of early-onset Krabbe disease are:
Symptoms of late-onset Krabbe disease:
Vision problems may appear first, followed by walking difficulties and rigid muscles. Symptoms vary from person to person. Other symptoms may also occur.
An exam of the
Tests that may be done include:
There is no specific treatment for Krabbe disease.
Some people have had a bone marrow transplant in the early stages of the disease, but this treatment has risks.
United Leukodystrophy Foundation -- www.ulf.org
The outcome is likely to be poor. On average, infants with early-onset Krabbe disease die before age 2. People who develop the disease at a later age have survived into adulthood with nervous system disease.
This disease damages the central nervous system. It can cause:
The disease is usually life-threatening.
Call your health care provider if your child develops symptoms of this disorder. Seizures, loss of consciousness, or abnormal posturing may be emergency symptoms.
Genetic counseling is recommended for people with a family history of Krabbe disease who are considering having children.
A blood test can be done to see if you carry the gene for Krabbe disease.

The public is invited to participate in a panel discussion Sept. 19, 2013 about the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed in 2010. The public will be able to learn about the impacts that ACA is having on how health care will be delivered beginning next year.
The panel discussion—entitled "Affordable Care Act: Triumphs, Challenges, and the Local Response"—will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 19 in the Donald R. Wright Auditorium at the Pasadena Central Library, 285 E. Walnut St.
KPAS, the City's government cable access TV station, will record the event for broadcast on KPAS, seen on Channel 3 for Cox subscribers and Channel 99 for AT&T U-Verse subscribers. The program also will be streamed on the "media" page of the City's website, www.cityofpasadena.net/media, and on the KPAS website at www.pasadenamedia.tv/kpas.
If you are unable to join the discussion Sept. 19 or watch any of the broadcasts, a second panel discussion covering the same topics will be held at the same location with the same panelists from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 24. The discussions are part of an overall effort by the City and community organizations working together to ensure Pasadena residents understand the ACA and are prepared for the changes and the resources that will soon become available.
Dr. Eric Walsh, Director of the Pasadena Public Health Department and the City's Health Officer, will provide important background information about health care reform, challenges that the law creates and what is happening in Pasadena to help the law work best for residents. He will be joined by Steven Abramson, Marketing Manager of CHAPCare, who will discuss Medi-Cal Expansion and the State Marketplace Exchange (Covered California); Rosalie Garcia, Executive Director at URDC Human Services Corporation (Bill Moore Health Clinic), who will address the need to provide health care services for those who do not qualify for insurance; and Mary Donnelly-Crocker, Executive Director of Young & Healthy, who will review available community resources and assistance to implement health reform in Pasadena.
There will be ample opportunity to ask questions or share concerns about the ACA. Download the flyer here.

Thanks, will do.
Your calendar brings up another point. How is the date "decided" ? For instance full moon in January 2013 is on 27'th, at 04:38 GMT, but you list 26'th as Uposatha day ?

Handmade with pure honey, gum arabic, glycerine and the most lightfast pigments available, each color is individually crafted to develop its own unique character. Because of its love of moisture, honey absorbs water from the atmosphere. Colors made with honey do not dry up in the tube or on the palette and always dilute easily, often after months or years of disuse. Honey has been used extensively throughout the history of art as an ingredient in water base colors of all types.
