What Happens After Treatment for Salivary Gland Cancer?
For some people, treatment may remove or destroy the salivary gland cancer. Completing treatment can be both stressful and exciting. You may be relieved to finish treatment, but find it hard not to worry about cancer coming back. (When cancer comes back after treatment, it's called recurrence.) This is a very common concern in people who have had cancer.
It may take a while before your fears lessen. But it might help to know that many cancer survivors have learned to live with this uncertainty and are living full lives. Understanding Recurrence gives more detailed information on this topic. You can read it online, or call us to have a free copy sent to you.
For other people, the cancer may never go away completely. These people may get regular treatments with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other therapies to try to help keep the cancer in check. Learning to live with cancer that does not go away can be difficult and very stressful. It has its own type of uncertainty. See Managing Cancer as a Chronic Illness for more about this.
Follow-up care
If you have completed treatment, your doctors will still want to watch you closely. It's very important to go to all of your follow-up appointments. During these visits, your doctors will ask questions about any problems you are having and may do exams and tests to look for signs of cancer or treatment side effects. Almost any cancer treatment can have side effects. Some may last for a few weeks to months, but others can last the rest of your life. This is the time for you to tell your cancer care team about any changes or problems you notice and any questions or concerns you have.
Most doctors recommend follow-up exams every few months for the first couple of years, and then less often after that if nothing abnormal is found. If you had radiation therapy to the neck, your doctor will probably want to get blood tests as well to check your thyroid function.
Imaging tests such as CT scans may be done after treatment to get a baseline idea of what the head and neck area look like. Further imaging tests may be done if you later develop any signs or symptoms that might be due to a return of the cancer.
You may be advised to see your dentist after treatment to check on the health of your teeth. Your doctor will also want to keep a close eye on your hearing, speech, and swallowing, which can be affected by treatment. If you are having problems with any of these, your doctor may refer you to a therapist for help with rehabilitation.
It's important to keep health insurance. Tests and doctor visits cost a lot, and even though no one wants to think of their cancer coming back, this could happen.
Should your cancer come back, treatment will depend on where the cancer is, what treatments you've had before, and your overall health. For more information on how recurrent cancer is treated, see Recurrent Salivary Gland Cancer. Coping With Cancer Recurrence can also give you information on how to manage and cope with this phase of your treatment.
Your appearance and other changes
Surgery or other treatments can affect nerves and other structures in the face and neck. This can affect how you look. Ask your doctor about reconstructive surgery options that might be available for you.
Surgery around the jaw or neck can sometimes lead to ear numbness, weakness in raising your arm above your head, and weakness of the lower lip. If this happens, your doctor can refer you to a physical therapist, who can teach you exercises to improve your neck and shoulder movement.
Treatment of salivary gland cancer can sometimes cause problems such as trouble speaking or swallowing, dry mouth, or even tooth loss. This can make it hard to eat, which can lead to weight loss and weakness due to poor nutrition.
Some people may need to adjust what they eat during and after treatment or may need nutritional supplements to help make sure they get the nutrition they need. A team of doctors and nutritionists can work with you to help you manage your individual nutritional needs. This can help you maintain your weight and get the nutrients you need.
If treatment affects how you speak, there might be both surgical and non-surgical options that can help. Your doctor will probably refer you to a speech therapist, a professional who is trained in helping people with speech problems. Some people might need to learn new ways of speaking. The speech therapist can play a major role in helping with this.
Dental care is often very important at this time as well, especially if you your mouth is dry as a result of surgery. If needed, your doctor can refer you to a dentist, who can help you care for your teeth and offer ways to help with dry mouth, such as using artificial saliva.
Tell your doctor or nurse about any other problems you are having. There are also groups that can provide support and help teach you how to manage any lingering problems you may have.
Seeing a new doctor
At some point after your cancer diagnosis and treatment, you may find yourself seeing a new doctor who does not know anything about your medical history. It's important that you be able to give your new doctor the details of your diagnosis and treatment. Gathering these details during and soon after treatment may be easier than trying to get them at some point in the future. Make sure you have the following information handy:
- A copy of your pathology report(s) from any biopsies or surgeries
- If you had surgery, a copy of your operative report(s)
- If you stayed in the hospital, a copy of the discharge summary that doctors prepare when patients are sent home
- If you had radiation therapy, a copy of your treatment summary
- If you had chemotherapy, a list of your drugs, drug doses, and when you took them
- Copies of any imaging tests, such as x-rays and CT scans (which can usually be stored digitally on a DVD, etc.)

Mountainbike Hardtail
Extended MTB tours in a clean look
4 bikes
JARIFA i29
Price from
Do you have high expectations of a modern e-bike? The JARIFA I29 is changing the world of
e-mountain bikes. The dynamic shape with integrated battery in the down tube creates a clean look. This allows you to take full advantage of our Impulse motor on long mountain bike tours, without having to worry that the aesthetics of the bike are compromised by the battery.
The JARIFA I29 is an aesthetically appealing E-MTB for long tours. The hardtail is intended for easier trails and long trips.
Our XXL battery with 612 Wh capacity is discreetly tucked away in the down tube.
Stand, mudguard and pannier rack are quick and easy to fit.
Via Bluetooth, you can connect your smartphone to the IMPULSE SMART LCD display – and steer your route with the IMPULSE navigation app.
The cables and hydraulic lines are routed inside the frame for protection, creating a neat look and extending the service life of the lines for perfect gear shifting and braking at all times.
When speed is of the essence, the IMPULSE EVO RS Speed drive provides assistance up to a speed of 45 km/h.
An electronic drive usually reduces the assistance it provides as pressure on the pedals drops. If Climb Assist is activated, the assistance will be sustained for a moment to ensure constant uphill motion. Climb Assist can be activated from the handlebar, and the strength is individually adjustable.
The shift sensor integrated into the frame detects gear shifting operations and interrupts the drive's power assist for fractions of a second so that shifting is as quick and smooth as with aconventional bike.
Butted aluminium tubes are designed so that the walls are thicker at areas under more stress, with a constant external diameter. FOCUS aluminium tubes are triple-butted. This reduces the weight without impacting on the stability.
The tapered head tube increases the headset stiffness while also reducing the steering weight.
The DONNA line focuses on the female rider. We've considered the essential differences that exist. Those points of contact with the bike are decisive. That's why we fitted female-specific bars and saddles, so that you'll feel great on the bike, whatever you ride. Your preferences. Your colourways. Your bike. This is where you come first.

I've been wondering lately why we're so hell bent on testing houses. After all, we're a bunch of smart building scientist type guys and gals, right? We may not be Joe Lstiburek's (for which our families and fiends, unbeknownst to them, are mighty grateful), but we have a working knowledge of air and moisture movement, thermal and pressure boundaries, various Deltas (T, P, and the rest), and all that other stuff BPI made us learn. We don't assess houses one day in Tallahassee, the next in…Continue
What an ugly picture!
Hey, I'm still struggling with my crawl space stemwall efflorescence. Did you take the guy, Rich Cowperthwaite's PG&E crawl space class? His suggestions to me: French Drain, Structural Engineer, Reduce Landscape Irrig. & replace turf with native plants, Get rid of old crawl FAU & replace/w sealed combustion unit, Seal all crawl space vents & weather strip access -All good but I was hoping for something cheaper.
See you Tue. 12/14

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has declined to OK an American Indian tribe's proposal to relocate a casino in the Upper Peninsula.
The governor's office says he was open to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community's plan to close a casino near Marquette and open a larger one at the former county airport. But he says the tribe declined to discuss a broader deal under which it would continue sharing some revenue with the state even if gambling is expanded in Michigan.
Snyder said Tuesday the Keweenaw tribe is the only one that has a casino agreement still letting it stop sharing revenue with the state if future gambling competition develops.
The governor also wants to make sure tribal businesses collect taxes on transactions with non-American Indians.

"cake, Rattle, And Roll"- 1950's Music Cake
My entry for the 2012 CNY Cake Competition that took place in Ithaca, NY, on October 6th. I placed second in the Adult 3 (Advanced) division! The cake took about 36 hours and actually had a bottom tier that broke horribly 2 minutes before reaching the hotel after a 5 hour drive! The black records are made of gumpaste and have a styrofoam core. TFL!

Cobb eager to take first swings at Coors
DENVER -- Though he's in his third big league season, Rays starting pitcher Alex Cobb's head is spinning with thoughts of a Major League milestone he'll pass when he starts Sunday's series finale with the Rockies.
He'll have the chance to do something he hasn't done in a baseball game since he was a senior at Vero Beach High School in Florida: swing a bat.
"I'm pretty excited," Cobb said of the opportunity that has eluded him through his first two years in the American League. "I've got to contain myself a little bit and not focus too much on the hitting part of things. Remember, I got a game to pitch, too. I'm very excited, I've been taking extra BP. I have a lot of swings running through my head where it's usually pitching mechanics. I'll make sure to get my mind right before I step on the mound."
Cobb described himself as a "three-hole" hitter in high school, hitting for average and power and comparing himself to Evan Longoria.
"I like to think of myself as Longo," Cobb said. "I had a decent average. I think I had three or four home runs, nothing to talk about. I probably had a .350-to-.400 average."
Cobb was happy to see Friday's starter Matt Moore get the green light to swing in two at-bats with men on base and none out in the series opener, a sign of confidence from manager Joe Maddon.
"It depends on who my pitcher is and who their pitcher is," Maddon said. "If I think our pitcher who's hitting can handle their pitcher, then I'll let him swing. If I don't think that they can, based on what I'm seeing, then we're apt to try to bunt."
On Friday, the Rockies had Jeff Francis on the mound, and with a fastball topping in the mid-to-upper 80s, Maddon liked the matchup with Moore, who moved the runner both times with infield grounders.
"You got a good athlete in Matty Moore -- he can hit," Maddon said. "If Francis had made a mistake there, I could see a double going down that right-field line, too. In [Coors Field], it's hard to just play for the one-run victory early in the game. I learned that lesson many years ago. So I don't even want us to think about that. We have pitchers on this team that are offensively challenged that I would have had bunting right there, absolutely. But if the guy's got some ability, we'll let him hit."
Asked if he'll be borrowing a bat from one of the position players, Cobb seemed taken aback.
"I've got my own," Cobb said. "It's the big leagues. It's got my name on it and everything."

thereductor wrote:Hey all.
I agree that every practitoner should seek reputable instruction, and discuss their experiences with a teacher wherever possible.
However, I do not think the theravada community is best served by staying silent on issues of attainment. This long standing silence makes errant claims more frequent, and the consequences further reaching, than they would be otherwise (or so I suspect).
On the net there are forums set up where they proclaim attainment and enlightenment regularly, appropriating buddhist terms and concepts while removing the context in which they were orignally placed. There is emotional satisfaction and conceit satisfaction, and just enough wisdom to make it all very alluring. It is delivered directly to a person's computer, where they lap it up with relish.
Yet there is little coming from the online theravada community which might counter act this. There is a reluctance to discuss the fruits of traditonal practice and views in a way which would connect with a seeker of a certain sort. Claims are mostly met with suspicion, and the better responses are text based. Little is said by anyone that might betray the actual depth of experience among the theravada practitoners. And to me this lack seems to be a loss.

alan wrote:Hi Ben. Agree with most of what you say, but I don't get the fruit simile. It doesn't seem to follow that people of high attainment will always be humble. And should we take humbleness as a sign of high awareness? That seems to create its own problems.
Ben wrote:
One thing that Valerie touched on earlier which was incredibly insightful is that its through one's behaviour that one's progress on the path is most accurately reflected. The other thing I want to say is that with progress comes humilty. The greater the progress, the greater the humility.
Humility (adjectival form: humble) is the quality of being modest, and respectful. Humility, in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue in many religious and philosophical traditions, being connected with notions of transcendent unity with the universe or the divine, and of egolessness.

Welcome to Train with Grain Summer/Fall 2011! We had such a blast meeting folks from all over the country last fall and are really pumped up about some of the events that will bring us to a city near you (we hope). Here is a run-down of some of the events that have us excited to hit the road:
Pacific Crest Sports Festival (Sunriver, OR): How can we NOT be excited? Not only is it near Bend, Oregon (one of the prettiest places on the planet and home to awesome micro brews), but the weekend is filled with live music, family activities and races for every level of athlete. Did we mention the beer garden opens at 10 am and there are shuttles to the event location?
Dates: 06/24-6/26/11
Website: http://www.racecenter.com/pacificcrest/index.htm
Ironman Lake Placid (Lake Placid, NY): First of all, this is one of the oldest Ironman competitions in the United States AND it's held in Lake Placid, NY. While I've never been myself, Lake Placid looks like a small chunk of heaven nestled in upstate New York's Adirondack Mountains. This event runs for five days and is packed with everything from a Fun Run for the kiddos to a massage tent to a pancake breakfast.
Dates: 7/21-7/25/11
Website: http://ironmanlakeplacid.com/
Ironman Boulder (Boulder, CO): First of all, we LOVE Boulder. This Ironman boasts strong volunteer support, promises loads of spectators and its challenging course has spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains at every turn. With a reputation for great food, entertainment and known as one of the friendliest cities in America, Boulder is a great place to visit and test yourself against other Ironman athletes.
Dates: 08/05-08/07/11
Website: http://ironmanboulder.com/
Mayor's Cup Criterium (Boston, MA): Not only is a criterium a wonderful spectator sport, but it's a pretty darn fun way to race too. If you're not familiar with a criterium, this is essentially (all of you pro's can just pipe down) a closed-circuit bike race. No getting lost, just around and around in downtown Boston! Beyond the bike fun, the city is in full celebration mode. Before the criterium is a city-wide bike ride and after the race the city hosts the Boloco Block Party which boasts live music, booths, great food and, we suspect, a beer garden where one could find a cold beverage to enjoy while watching the Mascot Race.
Date: 9/25/11
Website: http://tdbankmayorscup.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=471130
These are just a small smattering of the events we'll be at this summer. We're excited for each and every one of them and cannot wait to meet you in person and share some of our cool gear with you. For a full list of events, check here and follow us on twitter (@bobs_red_mill) for updates on where we'll be.

Texas Rangers Receive OF Rafael Ortega on Waiver Claim from Colorado
Arlington, Texas-The Texas Rangers today announced that the club has received outfielder Rafael Ortega on a waiver claim from the Colorado Rockies.
Ortega, 22, batted .228 (36-158) with one homer, 10 RBI, and 9 stolen bases in 42 games for Double-A Tulsa of the Texas League in 2013. The left-handed batter was the Drillers leadoff hitter and centerfielder before sustaining a hairline fracture of his shin on June 20 and missing the remainder of the season. He was also sidelined from April 21-May 10 with a staph infection.
Ortega has returned to play winter ball and is currently batting .261 in 30 games at LaGuaira in Venezuela.
Signed as a non-drafted free agent by Colorado in January 2008, Ortega has played six seasons in the Rockies organization. He recorded 147 stolen bases in his first 5 minor league seasons from 2008-12 with 30 or more SB 3 times. After batting .283 with 36 steals at Class A Modesto in 2012, Ortega made his major league debut with Colorado that September, going 2-for-4 in two games. He was named as Colorado's top defensive minor league outfielder by Baseball America prior to the 2013 season.
With today's move, the Rangers have 39 players on their major league roster.

This aptly-named British band sports a massive sound on their ambitious debut album. Part of the new wave of British prog-rock, Oceansize share some similarities with groups like the Cooper Temple Clause, Muse and Radiohead while also hearkening back to earlier prog-rockers like Pink Floyd, but unlike most of their modern prog-rock peers, they also draw fairly heavily from metal and grunge. Ultimately though, they're hard to pin down, alternating between delicate, ethereal passages and violent bursts of hard-rock intensity in their often-lengthy but rarely tedious songs. 4/26/2004 - Don Yates

Mike Poindexter is a man with a plan.
His plan involves not only food safety, but provides for 80% growth in capacity at Poindexter Nut Co. in the next four years.
Poindexter, general manager of the Selma-Calif.-based nut growing/packing company, started planning about 2 1/2 years ago for the improved food safety systems that the company put in for the 2011-12 season. He opted for a pasteurizing unit from Napasol AG, a Swiss company, which combines steam and a vacuum to kill pathogens.
"Customers are also looking at labels and want some kind of assurance that the fresh foods they are eating are safe," he said.
In the wake of peanut butter and tomato recalls in recent years, Poindexter said he started looking for a system that would allow him to get nuts to customers as fresh as possible. He found it frustrating to have a trailer loaded and then have to wait on test results before shipping it.
"Now with the pasteurization, we know we can go ahead and ship," he said, adding that they they still test for pathogens, but with the pasteurization process they are able to ship product immediately rather than place it on hold waiting for lab results.
And, when there is confusion about the source of an outbreak, Poindexter said he now has proof that his nuts were not the source.
Poindexter said he believes more nut grower-shippers will add pasteurization to their food safety plans, especially since a federal judge has upheld the 2007 regulation requiring the pasteurization of almonds.
Poindexter works with about 280 growers who shipped about 19,000 tons of nuts through his facility for the 2011-12 season.
But with a waiting list of customers who want Poindexter nuts, the company is in the midst of expanding with the goal of quadrupling capacity by building a new plant. Groundbreaking is expected by the end of March, with Phase 1 of the expansion anticipated to be running by 2013.
Poindexter said the one Napasol unit should be able to handle some of the additional volume, but he will look to add more pasteurization capacity as the expansion proceeds.
Specialties Commodities installs Napasol pasteurizer
Specialties Commodities Inc., Fargo, N.D., began pasteurizing food products, including nuts and dried fruit, in a Napasol AG pasteurizing unit in February. Corporate officers at the importing company decided to add the food safety step, citing nearly 400 FDA recalls in 2011.
SCI's quality director David Pedro said the Napasol unit's vacuum/flash steam technique is relatively low stress for the product and similar to the autoclaving of medical instruments. It requires only a few minutes and does not involve radiation or chemical residues.

Nobody really looks forward to tax time – except maybe tax preparation professionals. The rest of us just want to get through the process with the least amount of work and stress possible. Here's how you can put together a simple organization strategy that you can apply year after year, say goodbye to the March madness and April anxiety, and put that tax season dread to bed once and for all.
Do a quick sort by category
Just grab your box of statements, bills and receipts, clear off your dining room table, and start sorting into categories. The most common categories are:
- Income such as W-2s and 1099s, Social Security statements, and dividend/interest statements
- Expenses and deductions for health care, property taxes, child care, donations, etc.
- Investments such as stocks and IRAs
Prepare your category piles and you've got a great head start!
You're bound for success
Next, you'll want to keep all your paperwork together in one place, such as an Avery Heavy-Duty Binder. These durable binders stand up to frequent use, and the One Touch EZD™ locking rings open and close easily when you need to add or remove papers. Plus, with convenient interior pockets, you've got a handy place to store loose paperwork or documents that need immediate attention.
Organization with oomph!
Want to make it easy to reference your categories of paperwork? Organize them with Avery Index Maker® Clear Label Dividers and give each category its own section. Dividers are easy to customize with the free Avery Design & Print Online program. There's no download required—once you sign in, you'll get access to our library of blank and pre-designed templates for all your project needs. Select the template that fits your Avery Index Maker Divider product, fill in your categories, then print, peel and apply the labels to your divider tabs. The clear labels virtually disappear when applied, giving your dividers a professionally printed look. The result will be a totally buttoned-up presentation of your records. And if you're having a tax professional do your taxes, your organized paperwork will be a tax preparer's dream
Build a library of records
Once you get your tax return back, you'll want to add it to your binder. Print the tax year on your binder spine and keep it on a bookshelf for future reference. For information on how long you should keep specific tax records, visit the IRS website.
Time-saving tip: Much of the information on your return will be useful when filling out the information on next year's return, especially if there haven't been major changes in your life such as the addition of a spouse or baby, or buying and selling a home.
Be twice as organized next year
Get set up for next year's taxes now and you can save lots of time and stress later on. During the year, spend a half hour filing your tax-related paperwork at the end of every month, and your tax time organization will be virtually done when tax time rolls around next year. Won't that be a nice change!

The Bloomsbury Poet & The Cambridge Photographer: Julian Bell & Lettice Ramsey
Julian Bell was born in 1908, the son of the painter Vanessa Bell and her husband, the art critic Clive Bell. He attended King's College, Cambridge (1927–34), where he contributed to The Venture, and was a member of the intellectual discussion group known as the Apostles. He published two books of poems: Winter Movement (1930) and Work for the Winter (1936).
At Cambridge, Bell formed a relationship with Lettice Ramsey (1898-1985) whose firm Ramsey & Muspratt specialized in photographing the staff and students, many of whom were mutual acquaintances. In 1935 Bell accepted the position of Professor of English at the University of Wuhan in China. He returned to Europe in 1937, anxious to participate in the Spanish Civil War, where he was killed on 18 July 1937.
Photographs in the display by Ramsey & Muspratt include studies of Julian's father Clive Bell, his brother Quentin Bell and several of his Cambridge circle and the Bloomsbury group with whom he was associated, such as Virginia Woolf, Roger Fry, Maynard Keynes, G.E. Moore, Dadie Rylands and John Cornford.
The display coincides with the publication of Julian Bell: from Bloomsbury to the Spanish Civil War, by Peter Stansky and Williams Abrahams (2012).

What Makes the Jaguar E-Type So Pretty?
Price: $23,110
EPA Fuel Economy (city/hwy): 22/28
KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT: Are we seriously comparing the 167 hp Miata to the bad-boy, muscular Nissan 370Z and its 332 horses? Yes, we are, and in part to prove that point that convertibles aren't always about bravado. If you want the purer sports car of this pairing, there's no doubt the Nissan wins by every measure. But for sheer grins per mile, the Miata still has the right balance of low weight, quick turn-in and joy at sane, safe speeds that you won't get from the Nissan.
Vs. Nissan 370Z
Price: $38,200
EPA Fuel Economy (city/hwy): 18/25
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS: Comparing the Miata to a Nissan 370Z, the glaring difference is the $15,000 price disparity. But to properly judge these two cars, we'd suggest taking them for a drive in manual gearbox guise (the Miata gets a five-speed, the Nissan, a six-speed). Each has a unique character, and each is rewarding. At 2480 pounds, the Mazda is nearly 1000 pounds lighter than the Nissan. And even though the Nissan boasts a tight, 32.8-foot turning circle, the Miata's is just a smidge under 30-feet. It feels quick from apex to apex because it is, though you'll want to bolt on a bunch of aftermarket parts if autocrossing is your goal. Also, the Mazda's quarters are tighter by most measurements, and the manual roof means you'd better get quick at folding up the top in the event of a rain shower. The 370Z has a power folding top.
Winner: Nissan 370Z

Groupon and Zynga Revisited
Apparently, I ruffled a few feathers by raising the question, "Which is a bigger scam, Groupon (GRPN) or Zynga (ZNGA)?" Of course, one simple question can be construed in many different manners. Both companies are legitimate companies. Whether you agree with the viability of their business models or not is something else, but it doesn't make them a scam. However, the path to going public and what has occurred since then does raise a few questions.
The biggest scam here wasn't Zynga or Groupon but the valuation that Wall Street banks were able to bring for both of the companies when they went public. Retail investors were sold a bill of goods. Of course, we could sit here and argue all day long that something is worth what someone else is willing to pay for it, but there is somewhat of an expectation that Wall Street will do a little bit of honest work before bringing a company public. The scam here was the valuation Wall Street sold to the public, not the companies themselves....240 more words left in this article.

Republican Rep. Wants Taxpayers to Pay for Piracy Police (Again)

Tax and expand the federal gov't says Texas Rep. Lamar Smith (R)
"When there's copyright infringement / In your neighborhood / Who you gonna call? / The U.S. federal taxpayer funded IP task-force!"
I. SOPA Returns, Renamed and Pared Down
It sounds like a joke, but that's precisely what the
The Intellectual Property Attaché Act
[PDF], hopes to implement. The goal is to fight "global" piracy, but the proposal admittedly acknowledges that the taskforce -- a sub-agency of the
U.S. Department of Commerce
-- could be used in the homeland, as well.
In fact, it seems more than likely that the task-force created by the IP Attaché Act, would operate
in the U.S., given difficulties in sending IP "cops" overseas to quasi-hostile infringement-prone regions like China. (What would they do in China, "arrest" street merchants selling knockoff DVDs?)
Overseas complaints are already well-policed -- or about as well policed as is possible -- by the
World Trade Organization
So the new Commerce Department copyrights cops are essentially redundant, unless their policing happens to primarily focus on the U.S. And you can bet it does.
The bill is essentially a repackaging of the heart and soul of the fortunately deceased
) and the U.S. Senate's Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) (
). In fact, it's authored by the same fellow --
Rep. Lamar Smith
(R- Tex.) -- who wrote SOPA.
Rep. Smith surely was sweating a bit under the collar when SOPA went down in flames. After all, big media wrote him a check for $85,000 USD during the last campaign cycle [source] and lawyers, many of whom represent big media clients, chipped in another $58,000 USD. [
Rep. Lamar Smith feels he's above the laws he's looking to subject his lowly proles to.
[Image Source: Lamar Smith]
Together these contributions gave him about 10 percent of the money he needed to crush Lainey Melnick 69-to-28 percent voting margin (Mr. Melnick only raised $34,000 USD lacking sufficient big media sponsors). To be fair, many of Rep. Smith's colleagues
received similar payouts
from big media.
That kind of money doesn't come for free or cheap. It comes with big favors. In this case the cost of the donations was likely a commitment to tirelessly push "anti-piracy" legislation even if it ignores big media corporations'
own flagrant
copyright theft
, wastes taxpayer money, and likely tramples on civil liberties.
Clearly Rep. Smith doesn't truly take his rhetoric to heart, given the fact that he
ripped off an independent artist's work
for his homepage art, and reportedly initially refused requests from the artist for acknowledgement.
II. Will it Pass?
So does the IP Attaché Act stand any more of a chance of surviving than Rep. Smith's last monstrosity, SOPA?
The largely politically apathetic public burned through
a great deal of energy
killing the last bill
. And this revised version will likely draw
less corporate opposition
in that it appears to remove its provisions for sweeping website takedowns in its draft.
Further, the SOPA v. 2.0 (of sorts) has the support of House Oversight Chairman,
Rep. Darrell Issa
(R-Calif.) -- who initially supported SOPA as well, but later became a critic who helped sink the measure.
has obtained a statement from Rep. Issa's office,
Rep. Issa is set to support the legislation, with small modifications. The Intellectual Property Attaché Act is written to help American individuals and companies that are experiencing intellectual property infringement in certain foreign countries. The legislation will place USPTO trained IP attaches in countries around the world, focusing on areas where American job creators and innovators are experiencing especially high levels of IP-theft. These attaches will work with the foreign governments to help eliminate in-country IP theft that is occurring. This is a net benefit to all Americans both IP holders and consumers. Also, the training and other programs that the attaches may provide can also help local law enforcement to deal with IP-infringement that is occurring. The cost for these attaches will come from collected PTO fees, meaning that the bill is revenue neutral. Additionally, we expect that an amendment will be made to the legislation before it is marked up that will instruct the attaches to promote clear IP exceptions like fair use – already codified in U.S. Law.
The biggest hope for killing the measure perhaps lies in its likely substantial costs and sweeping expansion of the federal government. Ballooning federal government and burdening taxpayers with the expense of large new federal programs certainly sounds outside the line of traditional fiscal conservative rhetoric that's in vogue these days.
SOPA v. 2.0 has crawled back onto the scene, but might be killed yet.

Some Republicans may balk at essentially voting for "a tax" in order to scratch the back of big media. Although, the fact that big media donated generously to a great many members of Congress may allow them to look past their own political beasts and shove this copyright debt on the shoulders of the masses.
At least overseas there are signs of a break in the storm of big media trolling. Denmark has
turned off
its warning letters program. And Canada has implemented strong protections/permissions for user-generated content (e.g. montages) and
capped non-commercial infringement
at $5,000 USD.
In other words, the U.S. is one of the last places where big media can hope to sue individual citizens for millions of dollars for pirating a few songs. It also looks to become one of the few nations to install a special redundant "copyright police" agency at the federal level, financed by its citizens' tax burden.

McCann quickly regaining timing at the plate
PHOENIX -- Brian McCann's right shoulder should continue to get stronger as he moves further away from the surgical procedure he underwent in October. But the veteran Braves catcher already has made a good impression during his first week back at the Major League level.
Since recording one hit in his first eight at-bats after being activated from the disabled list, McCann has looked much like he did while winning five Silver Slugger Awards. The 29-year-old catcher entered Tuesday with six hits, including three home runs, in his past 13 at-bats.
"I think this is as good as I've seen him in a while," Braves pitcher Tim Hudson said. "This is the guy that I remember from before he got hurt, the way he's swinging it and the way he's throwing it. His throwing is still a work in progress with the shoulder. But he's definitely feeling comfortable at the plate."
Despite the fact he will likely not regain his normal arm strength before the 2014 season, McCann has thrown out two of the four opponents who have attempted to steal a base against him this year. This is certainly encouraging given the fact that he threw out just 17.8 percent of the opponents that attempted to steal against him the past two seasons.
This is essentially the first time McCann has been at full strength since straining his left oblique on July 26, 2011. He looked uncomfortable the remainder of that season and battled right shoulder discomfort through much of last season.
"He's healthy and feels good about himself," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I think we are bringing him around the right way."
Sticking to a schedule that has not allowed him to catch more than two consecutive games since he returned last week, McCann rested during Tuesday night's game against the D-backs. But Gonzalez said McCann might catch each of the three games during this weekend's series against the Dodgers.
"He's getting to that age where you have to keep an eye on him," Gonzalez said. "You don't want to wear him out."

LOS ANGELES—It was just a season and a half ago that the Philadelphia Phillies had the look of a dynasty about them with a dominant pitching staff in place and star offensive players playing right around expectations.
The Phillies won 102 games in 2011 before a shocking postseason upset to the eventual World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals. It was that final October loss in the NLDS that changed what the Phillies believed they would become, slamming shut their window of opportunity while the organization never realized it was being locked inside its own suddenly fictitious world.
AMARO'S MINDSET: Paps, Lee not available
That potential for a dynasty started to disintegrate when Ryan Howard's Achilles' tendon did on the final out against the Cardinals. In 2012, the team was often injured and its stars hardly played up to billing, and it finished .500. This season, guys are mostly healthy, but many aren't playing like the stars they once were. The once-dream pitching staff is more like a forgotten glitch during a REM cycle.
This brings the Phillies to a simple conclusion, one they are struggling to realize: It is time to break down this roster and separate from a dream it can no longer fulfill. It is time for the Phillies to become sellers.
"I think this happened to them quicker than any of them realized," a National League scout said over the weekend. "It was like they were World Series contenders and then they blinked and are not even a .500 club now. It happened faster than any of us thought, but it's like they are the only ones not seeing it."
The scout was referring to "they" as the Phillies, but more specifically, to general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. He is the one who ratcheted up the payroll to more than $165 million and he would be the one responsible for dismantling the roster and selling it for parts that will be more valuable in three years rather than now or by next April.
The problem is, Amaro is not willing to do such a thing. Not yet, at least.
"I've been telling our (beat writers), it doesn't make sense right now," Amaro said. "We have to contend here, we are expected to contend here. And we still can."
That was before the Phillies came here and lost three of four to the Los Angeles Dodgers, lost with their ace (Cliff Lee) on the mound, fell five games under .500, 9 1/2 games out of first in the NL East and 7 1/2 out of a wild-card spot.
Scouts were already descending on the team to look at potential trade chips, and after that disastrous weekend series, the scouts will become more noticeable. Closer Jonathan Papelbon, second baseman Chase Utley, third baseman Michael Young—Utley and Young are free agents after the season—and Lee all could have suitors, but it is Amaro's decision if he wants to trim payroll and build for the future or hang onto hope with his current highly paid veteran team.
"We are getting healthy," Amaro said. "We see us being able to do this."
As of now, reality is saying something different.
North Side sale
Almost nothing is guaranteed when it comes to trade rumors, but two NL executives said if there were such a thing this summer, it would be the Chicago Cubs trading starters Matt Garza and Scott Feldman and closer Kevin Gregg. All three are free agents after the season and the Cubs, who would have traded Garza last season if he were healthy, don't have a need for any of them as they attempt to rebuild.
One of those executives, who's in charge of his team's major league scouting, has heard the San Diego Padres are one of the serious teams when it comes to Garza. It could be a fit on both ends as Cubs GM Jed Hoyer is only a couple seasons removed from holding the same position with the Padres. It could be a chance for Hoyer to recoup some of the prospects his regime brought into the organization.
However, the Boston Red Sox like Garza and know he can handle pitching in the thick American League East, as he was with the Tampa Bay Rays for three years before being traded to Chicago. Boston sent Gary Hughes, one of its top scouts and a former Cubs assistant GM, to follow the Cubs as they visited the Seattle Mariners last weekend and the Oakland Athletics this week, the Chicago Tribune reported.
This would be another compatible match since Hughes is familiar with the Cubs' system and Hoyer and Cubs president Theo Epstein are familiar with Boston's.
Several teams are interested in Garza, but the way to land him might be to strike early. Epstein and Hoyer are willing to move Garza sooner rather than closer to the July 31 deadline, but it would take a team going out and winning the bidding rather than the Cubs settling on an offer as the deadline draws close, the scouting executive said.
"The Cubs are about maximizing the return on Garza, so if a team wants him for an extra month or three weeks, then they can come in and make that big offer that ends all the speculation," the executive said. "Theo and Jed will listen to that."
MARMOL TAKER? Dodgers reportedly close to acquiring ex-closer
Stock rising
The Phillies might not know their direction, but scouts are flocking to see Utley, who is hitting .368/.429/.763 with a 1.192 OPS and four homers and three doubles in his last nine games.
At the scouts' dining room table at Dodger Stadium over the weekend, Utley was the talk of dinner.
"The way he's playing, they can get a ton in return for him from a team needing offense," one scout said. "They'll kick themselves if they don't trade him and don't end up contending. They can always bring him back. He's a free agent."
Utley has 21 teams on his no-trade list, but if he is approached with a winning situation, it is possible he would accept the move. The Phillies on the other hand, are far less willing to trade Utley, as Amaro has said he wants the second baseman to retire a Phillie.
Be careful with…
… Ricky Nolasco, one of the more coveted starting pitchers on the market. The Miami Marlins right-hander is sure to be moved and teams like the Padres, Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates are all interested. But the Marlins are asking for a solid prospect in return, and they want the other team to pick up all of the approximately $6 million still owed Nolasco, who can be a free agent after the season.
That asking price is enough to depress interest in Nolasco, but his performance is doing a decent job of that as well. He has allowed 13 earned runs in his last four starts (23 innings, 5.09 ERA) and was thumped in his last outing against the Padres (six runs over five innings).
An important week for…
… Minnesota Twins right-hander Kevin Correia. If the Twins decide to move pieces, he could be a valuable one as contenders look for help at the back of their rotations. He is under contract for next season at $5.5 million, which is attractive for a buying team.
However, Correia was not overly dominant in June, just good. In his final start of the month Sunday, he allowed five runs in five innings against the Kansas City Royals. On Friday, Correia will start against the Blue Jays in Toronto. Scouts will be watching and a good outing there against a good-hitting lineup could do a lot to bolster Correia's stock.

FGCU, Wells Fargo Team Up for Make a Difference Day
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Close to 200 volunteers from Florida Gulf Coast University and Wells Fargo joined forces Saturday to help out at six area organizations in observance of national Make a Difference Day.
About 125 FGCU students, alumni, faculty and staff teamed up with 70 Wells Fargo employees to garden, paint, pack groceries, walk homeless dogs, clear nature trails and more at organizations in Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Naples.
"Service is part of our DNA," said FGCU President Wilson G. Bradshaw. "Our students have given more than a million hours of service to the community in the past 15 years. Service is not just what we give, but what our community gets."
"I'm going to look forward to working with Wells Fargo to make a positive impact on our community in the years to come."
Laura Worzella, Wells Fargo area president, addressed the volunteers, talking about the cooperative effort and how the two organizations' symbols - FGCU's eagle and Wells Fargo's stagecoach - were linked to each other and to the purpose of the day.
"They are two symbols of American history that give people something to believe in," she said. "Our organizations are getting together and making a difference in our community today. Today is the day you are giving people something to believe in."
Volunteers split up into six groups to carry out the following projects:
� Help beautify the Bonita Nature Place.
� Work in the native plant garden and record residents' stories at Cypress Cove Retirement Community in Fort Myers.
� Help paint the building of the Gulf Coast Humane Society in Fort Myers, beautify the grounds and walk dogs.
� Work in Harry Chapin Food Bank�s Fort Myers warehouse preparing food packages for distribution throughout Southwest Florida.
� Paint the FGCU Family Resource Center and help improve the grounds.
� Assist students with their community garden and wormery at Eden Autism Center in Naples.
Bradshaw, Worzella, Wells Fargo regional president Carl Miller and Melissa Buchanan, the company's national manager for volunteerism made the rounds of the sites, pitching in and thanking volunteers for their efforts.
USA Weekend Magazine created Make a Difference Day in 1992 as a way to illustrate the importance of voluntarism and the impact it can make. On the fourth Saturday in October, millions of people around the country step up to call attention to the vast needs not-for-profit organizations have and the many ways there are to help.

Laurens wrote:I feel that the mystery surrounding topics such as rebirth is appealing for some people - to use Buddhist terms, perhaps it could be called an attachment. The fact that there is something out there that is plausably exsistant, yet currently unproven means that we can adopt our own little logical inferences and circumstancial evidence as something that is ours, our belief, something that seperates ourself from non-believers. The fact that not all people can see these little logical inferences and might reject circumstancial evidence means there is a divide between those that do believe and those that don't. Would you ever admit that there might be a little bit of pride surrounding your belief in rebirth? You know that kind of feeling that there is something out there that is reasonibly apparent or perhaps even obvious to you, that not all of us can see.
There was a time when I accepted rebirth and kamma - I felt that it can be seen in nature that things die and are reborn in various forms, and I also lapped up the cases in which people have recounted past lives etc. I recently realised that I was believing in something utterly unproven, there was no rational arguement that I could come up with to explain rebirth. For instance, the logic that 'I can see rebirth happening everywhere in nature' is flawed because a creationist would argue 'I can see design everywhere in nature' its a pattern which I had overlayed upon nature, not a reflection of nature itself. I started to wonder why I believed it, especially when rationality told me otherwise, and I realized that there was a delight in being one of those who could supposedly see the way things really are, amoung those who are blind to it. I was taking pride in rebirth, in a 'I know the secret and you don't' kind of way.
Now I'm not trying to tar everyone with the same brush here, I'm offering my perspective and you can freely take it apart if you wish. I just feel that in some cases, an attachment and a delight in being one of the minority who believes in rebirth and kamma is the main driving force behind the belief rather than any real kind of rationality. That feeling of being part of a special group takes precidence over rational thinking.
If rebirth and kamma were as accepted as the laws of Gravitation, i.e: the were was some hard evidence that these things were fact, and were no longer a matter of belief, would this affect your practice? Without that devide between those of us who believe it and those of us who don't, would the loss of the mystery surrounding it affect you? The absense of being in that special group? Do you admit there is any pride in your beliefs or not? I don't feel especially excited by gravitation for example, because it is a given and is not a belief, I suspect, however I would feel differently about it if I was one of a minority who believed it amoung a majority of non-believers, I would probably feel distinctly more passionate about it and proud to be one of the believers (obviously that is a poor example, because gravitation is real and testable, and rebirth is not testable and thus not proven to be real, but I'm not talking overly about the science, I'm talking about personal passions and feelings). What I'm trying to see is whether or not there is any pride surrounding your belief, if not then good, you shouldn't have any difficulty answering these questions. If, however you feel distinctly challenged by these questions, or you are upset that I am even asking them, then perhaps you do take a lot of pride in your belief.
Another thing I would like to ask is this (this is a question aimed more at a short term reaction); if, hypothetically speaking, you wake up tomorrow and the news the headline read 'Extraorindary! Scientists prove rebirth' how would you feel? What would your initial reaction be? Would you feel excited and filled with glee because you were right all along? If so does that not show you that you do take pride in your belief? What if the article went on to explain some fact that shattered your intial beliefs about the mechanics of rebirth and rendered your ideas falsified? Would you feel crushed that your belief system cannot function in light of the discovery? Would you simply ignore that and continue to believe what you did before regardless? All of which show some kind of pride and attachment to your beliefs.
I don't want dispassionate imitation-Buddha answers, I want the truth, from deluded beings who are subject to ignorance (no insult intended, that is, I believe the terminology applied to most of us in Buddhism) - how would you really feel? Not how Buddha would want you to feel. Maybe your feelings would be perfectly inline with what the Buddha would do, but I suspect in most cases our deluded minds would take charge in light of such revelations and we would react in a distinctly human manner.
I apologise for the challenging nature of this topic, but I feel its healthy to get challenged sometimes. If your belief in rebirth is in someway motivated by passion, is that not in contradiction to the Buddha's teaching?
These are all questions I have asked myself, and my response? My belief was motivated by passion and not by reason, and as a consiquence I no longer accept rebirth and kamma and I will not accept them until I see for myself that they are true.
Perhaps you do have some personal evidence that affirms your belief, if so feel free to share it, this topic goes by the generally accepted notion that there is no scientific evidence for rebirth and therefore it is a belief rather than a testable scientific process. I personally doubt any personal experience such as seeing into ones past life, for the same reasons I doubt that people's visions of the Virgin Mary are proof of Jesus' devinity, no matter how convincing the experience seems to the beholder.

FreeLifetimeTech Support
You can now operate your SteadyStar Adaptive Optics Guider with MaxIm DL (5.19 or later) imaging software! A plug-in is now available for download in the SteadyStar Adaptive Optics Guider product support section.
If you're serious about astrophotography, Orion brings you a new way to eliminate bloated, elongated stars and increase guiding precision, even in adverse conditions.
The SteadyStar Adaptive Optics Guider (AO) makes any imaging-capable mount, even if a modest one, perform more effectively. Precise tracking is one of the most critical facets of astrophotography and this tracking is limited to the accuracy of your mount, plus external factors like wind and atmospheric seeing conditions. The SteadyStar AO Guider overcomes these limitations and challenges and takes control with super fast and accurate guiding.
Traditional autoguiding involves moving the mount and telescope, along with all of your attached imaging accessories to correct for tracking errors. Furthermore, autoguiding can typically only make a single correction every couple of seconds or so; during that time your tracking is vulnerable to periodic error from your mount, wind, and atmospheric seeing conditions.
Better Than Traditional Autoguiding
Seen below are two raw images of NGC 281 cropped at 100% zoom. They are a direct comparison of SteadyStar AO Guiding at 5 corrections per second vs. regular autoguiding at one correction every two seconds. The images were taken the same night in succession. Each image is a stack of 3 x 12 minute exposures taken with the Orion SSDSMI III and EON 120ED Refractor. The image taken without the SteadyStar AO Guider shows star elongation in R.A. as a result of periodic error.
We've illustrated a smaller cropped portion below of the same two images of NGC 281 magnified at 200%. The difference seen in this faint star field is immediate. The SteadyStar improves the tracking performance resulting in sharper stars, rounder stars and improved image contrast.
How Does it Work?
The SteadyStar AO Guider can easily make several tracking corrections in one second without lugging the weight and inertia of the whole telescope. Rather than move all that weight, the SteadyStar AO Guider makes guiding corrections by tilting its on-board optical window, allowing for quick and precise movements several times faster than any traditional autoguider could ever hope to correct. A slight tilt of the optical window actually moves the imaging plane in your camera. This refractive correction, while different than the adaptive optics used in professional observatories, is capable of making extremely fast movements to overcome even the most severe tracking errors. Even though most tracking errors can be compensated by tilting the optical window, the SteadyStar can still send corrections to your mount like a traditional autoguider if the optical window's tilt range is exceeded.
Fast Guiding Corrections
The SteadyStar AO Guider is capable of correcting motion more than 40 times per second, depending on guide star brightness, autoguider camera used, and computer speed. This means you will overcome your mount's periodic error, wind, and even compensate for some of the negative effects of turbulent seeing conditions. Quite simply, the SteadyStar is the fastest AO Guider used for amateur astrophotography on the market today!
Boost Your Astro-imaging Performance
With the SteadyStar AO Guider attached, even a modestly priced equatorial mount will perform like a much more expensive mount! The SteadyStar's broad compatibility with imaging cameras and autoguiders makes it even more attractive. It works with any Orion CCD camera and autoguider, as well as other popular imaging cameras like DSLRs.
The SteadyStar AO Guider was designed to fit right in with your astronomers gear, requiring only 90mm of inward focus travel when used with Orion imaging cameras. In fact, you can add up to 30mm worth of accessories, such as a filter wheel, to the SteadyStar without adding to the total backfocus.
The 40mm diameter on board optical window supports APS-C format sensors including DSLRs and amply sized CCD cameras. SteadyStar software is included for full guiding control to both your mount and the AO Guider, and it can communicate with MaxIm DL to enable advanced imaging features as exposure sequences and dithering. Windows XP, Vista 32/64 bit, Windows 7 and Windows 8 compatible.
A hard carry case is included as well as a 10' USB cable, 10' autoguiding cable, and 12 V DC power cable.
Take high resolution astrophotos like never before with the SteadyStar Adaptive Optics Guider!

If the leaders of Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System hope to ever regain the trust of the community, a crucial first step is to stop listening to their lawyers.
A state audit report this week spanked the hospital and its board of directors for lavishly compensating key administrators, for quietly creating a pension system that let former CEO Sam Downing walk away with a ridiculous $5 million payout, for breaking state public meetings laws and for otherwise acting as though they were running a country club rather than a taxpayer-supported hospital.
But the key finding was that the directors and Downing had engaged in contractual, donation and investment practices that raised serious conflict of interest questions, some so serious that the state Auditor's Office has asked the Monterey County District Attorney's Office to explore the possibility of criminal charges.
In most instances, we suspect the DA's Office won't find anything to prosecute over. For one thing, the DA's Office has shown little interest in pressing cases against powerful interests. And for another, most of the conflicts cited in the 82-page report stop short of constitituting criminal behavior.
California lawmakers, having no interest in laws that would cramp their own styles, have crafted conflict of interest rules that allow California elected and appointed officials to show considerable favoritism to friends, relatives and business associates as long as there is no direct flow of money back to the officials.
For the most part, the codes say that public officials can be prosecuted in connection with contracts or the like only if their actions provided them with direct financial benefit. If hospital director A votes to give a contract to his brother-in-law, despite a lower bid from a better vendor, the law says it's OK unless the brother-in-law slips some of the resulting cash to the director.
That's where the hospital lawyers come in. Based on the auditor's report, and the SVMH board's reaction to it, it appears the hospital lawyers have advised time and again that it was OK for the directors to approve cozy contracts, deposit hospital money in a director's bank and contribute to a director's favorite charity as long as the decision didn't put actual cash in the director's pocket.
Never mind that the public would find many of those decisions to be unacceptable, unethical and unsupportable.
Unlike California's weak conflict laws, the public doesn't approve of official decisions that provide political or indirect benefits to the officeholders. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours is a way of life in politics, particularly small-town politics involving lifelong acquaintances, but it's a big part of the reason for the public's disdain.
Instead of asking the lawyers to bless slippery deals, the hospital directors and others in power should ask their friends, neighbors, ministers and mentors for advice. Conflicts or even remotely possible conflicts should be declared early and loudly and the deciding factor should be the smell test, not the legal test.
