|Official Title:
|A Multicentral Prospective Study on Prediction of Malignant Progression of Oral Epithelial Dysplasia With p16 Methylation
- Cancer rate in patients with oral epithelial dysplasia containing or NOT containing p16 methylation [ Time Frame: frome 3 months to 63 months ]
152 participants were p16 methylated informative. 29 participants were NOT informative because enough DNA was not extracted from their paraffin slides.
Among these informative cases, oral specimens from 48 patients were p16 methylation positive and 104 patients were p16 methylation negative. The cancer rate in the p16 methylation positive patients during the followup period will be compared with that in the p16 methylation negative patients statistically.
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
|Study Start Date:
|February 2009
|Primary Completion Date:
|March 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
p16 methylation positive
48 patients with mild or moderate oral epithelial dysplasia containing methylated p16.
p16 methylation negative
104 patients with p16 mild or moderate oral epithelial dysplasia NOT containing methylated p16.
Detailed Description:
Background:Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is one of the common precancerous lesions among Chinese adults. To investigate the clinical predictive value of p16 methylation diagnostic reagents in the early diagnosis of oral cancer, the investigators carried out the prospective multi-center double-blind cohort study.
Methods:180 patients with histologically confirmed mild or moderate OED were included in the present study. The investigators using p16 methylation diagnostic reagents to analysis of the p16 methylation status in these patients. Building two follow-up queue by p16-methylated and p16-unmethylated. The Statistical analysis used SAS6.12 software. All P-values were two-sided. P<0.05 was considered to test for statistical significance difference.

I need both seals freezer and fridge does this part(s) cover the bases
Hi Joe,
Thank you for your inquiry. The gaskets for the refrigerator and freezer sections have different part numbers. The part number for the refrigerator door gasket is PS11738523 and the part number for the freezer door gasket is PS11738524. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
Bought a replacement gasket for the Refrigerator to solve the leaking air problem. After replacing the gasket, nothing changed, so it appears the problem is the door itself, so if you have a separation between in the gasket, be sure it's the gasket and not the door itself.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
First I went on line and found detailed instructions how to do it. I also covered the frig with a large piece of card board to keep the "cool" in to some degree. I put the new gasket in a tub of hot water. I unloaded the door. Loosed all the screws..pulled off old gasket/seal.... carefully put the new one on the door. This was tedious but okay. then I tightend the screws. Closed teh door...made adjustments ..leveled the refrigerator... checked for leaks by putting a flashlight in the frig and closing the door. I also used a dryer to help the seal form easier. awesome! Like a new refrigerator.
Step 1: Removed door because I wanted to change the opening from left to right. Step 2: Place door on 2 saw horses and remove gasket with a nut driver. Step 3: Install new gasket. Step 4: Reinstall refrigerator and freezer doors.I found this proceedure to be one of the easiest I have ever accomplished.
Unscrewed the old gasket (took off about 24 screws) and screwed in the new gasket. Be careful as the entire door shelf comes off when all the screws come out. Have someone hold the shelf so it won't fall during gasket removal and install.
First I read other repair stories which really helped. I decided to leave the door on and use a 1/4" nutdriver plus a flat blade screwdriver. I loosed the screws on one side at a time. I pulled off the old seal and replaced with the new, using the flat blade to help tuck the seal in as needed. I also had to use a hair dryer to soften the new seal at some places in order to form it properly. Overall, I had great success!
I removed everything from the door, and unscrewed all of the nuts. I left the door on the refrigerator, mainly because I didn't think I needed to remove it. The gasket can be put on with the door attached, but I can see where it would be easier to take the whole door off. It would be easier to position the gasket laying down. All in all, the repair went fine and the door seals much better.
1. I removed all screws holding the old gasket.2. I removed the old gasket.3. I removed and unfolded the new gasket from the shipping package.4. I used a hair dryer to heat and straighten the gasket.5. I installed the new gasket and secured it with the screws.6. Some gasket deformation still remained, so I used the hair dryer again the next day to heat the gasket. Adding a small piece of cardboard behindthe gasket also helped to restore the gasket shape.
First placed the gasket in warm water so it would easily stretch over the door. Took off the inside front door cover and placed gasket on (magnet side out) then placed gasket on door and reattached. Works great and your prices and time of delivery were wonderful. Thanks
Star at the the right hand corner of door, loosen the screws, pull the old gasket out and at the same point push the new gasket,, tight all the screws chek for any air leaks ...problem solved.
Took door off, and put on saw horses. Loosen (don't remove) screws. Remove old gasket, put new one one, and tighten screws. Put door back on.
Ended up taking the inner face plate off, putting gasket around it and then repaced to ref/freezer.
I followed the instructions that came with the refrigerator and those that came with the gasket. Everything went smooth and fast. It is best to take the door off the refrigerator and lay it down and then do the replacement.
Pulled out old gasket. Removed inner door molding then fixed new gasket around the edges. Replaced screws around entire inner door and snugged gasket into place. Unfortunately, it seems that the new gasket's magnets were not so strong and the door tends to pop open easily. I suppose it is better than it was...we'll need to keep an eye on it and perhaps get a manual latch of some sort....
Removed doors and door panel and gasket , Clean and replase gasket,Had no problem installing gasketIt took about 45 minutes
First removed door, then removed all screws, then removed inside door panel, then removed old gasket, then installed new gasket, then reattached inside door panel and all screws, then reattached door, then used hair dryer to get gasket to seal in several areas.

October 31, 2009
The National Inflation Association today released the following statement:
"While most mainstream economists such as Nouriel Roubini are warning of deflationary threats to the U.S. economy, it is our belief that massive price inflation has already begun. The Federal Reserve's policy of massive monetary inflation in 2009 has caused the Dow Jones to bounce over 50% from its low, oil to rise 100% from its low, and gold to surge to a new all time nominal high. One NIA co-founder just saw his health insurance premium rise 16% over a year ago; and the average tuition for a four-year public college increased this year by 6.5%.
Prices are rising all around us, yet agricultural commodities have for the most part been left behind and remain at historically depressed levels. Fundamentals for agriculture are improving on a daily basis. A worldwide shortage of farmers combined with food inventories falling to record lows is setting up the perfect storm for an explosion in agriculture prices. There is a huge opportunity today to invest at the ground-floor into what will likely be one of the biggest boom industries of the next several decades.
Wheat is currently down 60% from its all time nominal high set in 2008 and 80% from its inflation adjusted high set in the 1970s. Corn is currently down 50% from its all time nominal high set in 2008 and 75% from its inflation adjusted high set in the 1970s. Wheat and corn have only bounced 13% and 26% from their 52-week lows this year respectively. While sugar has faired much better and is now at a 28-year nominal high, sugar is still down 70% from its inflation adjusted high set in the 1970s.
With crude oil back above $80 per barrel, we will soon see a renewed interest in alternative energy. This will create increased demand for wheat, corn and sugar which are used to make ethanol and other biofuels. A massive rise in agriculture prices is just around the corner.
We receive countless emails on a weekly basis asking about if Real Estate is now a good investment and if rents will likely climb during hyperinflation. While rents will increase nominally during hyperinflation, they will plummet compared to agriculture. No longer will Americans eat more than most other countries, yet spend less of their income on food. When Americans are forced to pay more for food, it will take away from what they can spend on rent.
The average American consumer today spends approximately 30% of their income on housing and only 10% of their income on food. We expect these numbers to reverse in the years ahead as the U.S. dollar loses its purchasing power. In Germany during hyperinflation, rents fell from 30% to less than 1% of the average households' expenditures while food rose from 30% to a high of over 91%.
The U.S. is currently the world's largest exporter of wheat and corn and the fifth largest exporter of sugar. When American consumers purchase food at their local supermarket, they are competing against consumers from all around the globe. As the Federal Reserve prints trillions of dollars out of thin air and causes our currency to lose its purchasing power, Americans won't be able to afford to eat as much and farmers will be forced to increase their exports to countries with stronger currencies.
When it comes to an apartment in the U.S. that a landlord is trying to rent to a tenant, there is no global market to drive rent prices up. The rents landlords receive depend on the strength of the local U.S. economy. With unemployment continuing to surge and a huge glut of homes on the market, it is only a matter of time before real rent prices decline and become a smaller monthly expense than food.
While Americans will eat less in the years ahead, Chinese citizens will be able to afford to eat more. Despite China's rapidly growing economy, there are major food shortages in China. Chinese agriculture companies have a chance of becoming the market's biggest gainers of the next decade. Our last China agriculture stock suggestion gained over 83% after our profile in a little more than six months. We will be announcing our new China agriculture stock suggestion on Tuesday."

Atlanta - A 67-year-old federal judge's wild relationship with a stripper started with a lap dance, prosecutors said, and quickly escalated into escapades of prostitution and gun-toting drug deals for cocaine and prescription pills.
Senior Judge Jack T Camp, a veteran jurist who had achieved a status that allowed him a lighter case-load, now finds himself in a peculiar position, in front of one of his peers, and with lawyers combing through his decisions, wondering whether they have grounds to challenge them.
"I don't know whether the allegations are true or whether they infected the decision making, but it's incumbent upon me to raise these issues," said Gerry Weber, a civil rights attorney who is readying an appeal in a case that Camp ruled on in June.
Camp, a Vietnam War veteran who was appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, built a reputation for handing out stiff sentences, including for drug convictions. He could face years behind bars on drug and gun charges.
The judge's attorney has said he intends to plead not guilty.
The stripper, who previously had a felony drug trafficking conviction, had been secretly working with the FBI since the spring to build a case against the judge. In exchange, prosecutors pledged not to charge her.
Camp's relationship with the dancer, who was not identified in court documents, began earlier this year.
Sex on the tab
A day after receiving his first dance, he returned to the Goldrush Showbar for more dances, and added sex and cocaine to his tab, authorities said.
Over the next few months, the two used cocaine and other drugs together, sometimes at the strip club, and the judge would pay $40 to $50 to join her getting high, according to a sworn statement.
In June, the judge followed the stripper to a house in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta to buy drugs, carrying a semi-automatic handgun with him he later told her he brought to protect her, the affidavit said.
The relationship finally unravelled on Friday. Camp, who is married with two grown children, told the stripper he would try to help with her criminal record and advised her to tell a potential employer who had rejected her application that "it was a minor offence and that one of the judges on the court can explain that to him," according to the affidavit.
A few hours later, the dancer asked Camp to follow her to a grocery store parking lot to meet a drug dealer.
Camp then gave the stripper $160 to buy the drugs from an undercover officer. About ten minutes later, FBI agents swarmed the judge's car when he drove to a nearby night club.
Conflict of interest
They recovered the plastic bag containing blue pills and a white substance, along with two guns from his front seat.
Not only has the case shocked the legal community, it has created a conflict of interest mess. For Camp's bail hearing, prosecutors were flown in from Washington and a magistrate travelled from Alabama because the local judges recused themselves from the case.
Camp supervised several cases while he was being investigated, including an April trial involving a pilot charged with shipping cocaine for drug traffickers. A jury acquitted the pilot after a trial in which prosecutors carted out 174kg of cocaine in front of the jury several times.
It's unclear whether any of the judge's decisions will be revisited.
"If you could establish that a judge was under the influence of some substance at the time he presided or ruled, then you could conceive of a basis for a challenge," said Pete Donaldson, a criminal defence attorney based in Albany, Georgia.
"You can envision all manner of circumstances where that might come into play."

Testing the stability of implied probability density functions
Implied probability density functions (PDFs) estimated from cross-sections of observed option prices are gaining increasing attention amongst academics and practitioners. To date, however, little attention has been paid to the robustness of these estimates or to the confidence that users can place in the summary statistics (for example the skewness or the 99th percentile) derived from fitted PDFs. This paper begins to address these questions by examining the absolute and relative robustness of two of the most common methods for estimating implied PDFs - the double-lognormal approximating function and the smoothed implied volatility smile methods. The changes resulting from randomly perturbing quoted prices by no more than a half tick provide a lower bound on the confidence intervals of the summary statistics derived from the estimated PDFs. Tests are conducted using options contracts tied to short sterling futures and the FTSE 100 index - both trading on the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange. The tests show that the smoothed implied volatility smile method dominates the double-lognormal as a technique for estimating implied PDFs when average goodness-of-fits for both methods are comparable.

As always my order was delivered quickly, thank you.
This was my 1st actual dildo so thought I would play it safe with a smaller model. I was keen to try it out and see how it would fair... Amazing!
This has become a welcome addition to my toy box and one of my favourite toys. I tend to keep this one as a treat for when the boy has to work away!
- Pros
- It feels soft (not too soft) has a more natural feeling compared to other vibes.
- Cons
- The rubber smell was a tad strong, but has dispersed with washing.
- Bottom line
- Amazing. Tempted to go the next size up...

Boy is it good! The veins and thickness prove very effective, the material makes it feel more human compared to the fake plastic that you can buy.
Even though this has no actual suction cup, the base provides more than adequate if using on a solid base e.g. stool/ tile etc.
Me and my partner are loving this!
- Pros
- Thickness and veins a***.
- Cons
- The smell of the material used.

A brilliant basic dildo
Reviewed: 16 October 2012 by wetbunny, a Straight Going Steady Female
I bought this dildo as I was missing the feeling of having something inside me. I have many vibes but wanted as good as it gets without a man there and this filled the job.
It is quite stable for "cowgirl" use and I find the balls a handy handle for missionary use.
Yes it did smell and have to say a couple months later still does, but I kinda of like it, reminds me of school swimming lessons and the baby powder in the swimming, that powdery rubber smell.
Easy to wash and clean. Does pick up bits of fluff I find, so keep somewhere bit free.
All in all the perfect dildo, not too big, not too small, and it certainly does the job.
- Pros
- Value for money.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Perfect.

We have lived here in Rossmoor for almost two years and could not be happier with our home. We have looked at other 55+ homes near by and the community I feel is a more homey place to live. The neighbors I have met here are all friendly and I feel the amenities here are exactly what I was looking for.
I love the new england like community but the maintenance fees are absurd and out of control.. and no extra services are offered to us.. :( We pay Much more than any other community
We've lived here for nearly 5 years now and really like it. The community is a little older but the people here are very friendly and make you feel like family. We found a beautifully updated home here when we bought and it was worth every penny. I'm glad we were able to find a place that didn't need a lot of extra work. Some of the amenities could use a little updating but overall it's a really great neighborhood.

Have you marked the drive as active? If its not active I don't think it will show in windows explorer.
So, I have a Toshiba canvio basics 500 GB HDD. Everything was fine and well, until I opened up EaseUS and made a FAT32 partition. (For GC)
I can get to open it through Computer Management>Storage>Device Management, and this and EaseUS say the drive is okay.
The main problem is I cant access it normally through My Computer or any other way in Windows Explorer.
Can't afford to wipe/format/delete drive. Help guys?

Mmm yup. And that's what device manager says :/
Simpler questions: are you in fact, following a wiihacks guide on the Game Cube and USB? If yes, why are you starting a new thread rather than asking in said thread? If no, why aren't you?
In "Disk Management" Find the USB drive Right-click the portion of the screen that represents the USB drive, and then click the "Change Drive Letter and Paths..." option.
Click the "Change..." button in the window that opens.
Make sure the button next to "Assign the following drive letter:" is chosen, choose the desired drive letter for your USB drive, and then click the "OK" button

AN al Qaeda-linked Islamist group in Mali says it is ready to negotiate the release of a French hostage, as a French-led offensive to rout Islamists from the north gathered steam.
"The MUJAO is ready to negotiate the release of Gilberto," said Walid Abu Sarhaoui by phone, spokesman for the Movement for Jihad and Oneness, referring to Gilberto Rodriguez Leal who was kidnapped in November.
The spokesman, speaking on the 16th day of the French-led campaign which has halted the Islamist advance south, said: "We Muslims can come to an understanding on the issue of war."
Gilberto Rodriguez Leal, a 61-year-old French national of Portuguese origin, was seized on November 20 by armed men in western Mali near the border with Senegal and Mauritania while travelling by car.
His kidnapping was claimed by MUJAO.
A total of seven French hostages are being held in the Sahel, of whom six are captives of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

Police are urging people to be aware of garage security following a spate of break-ins.
There were 29 garage-break-ins or attempted break-ins reported to Crawley police over the past two weeks.
Sussex Police said the break-ins had mainly been at domestic garages and sheds and there was no specific area targeted.
Power tools, fishing equipment and bikes have been stolen.
A spokesperson for Sussex Police said: "With the weather warming up, more of us are starting to be active in the garden.
"This greater frequency in accessing property in our garages and outbuildings can lead to an increased chance of them being left insecure."
A Honda motorcycle was stolen from a garage in Trent Close, Gossops Green.
Sussex Police said the owner discovered the motorcycle was missing on March 10.
Tools were stolen from a garage in Town Mead, West Green, on March 16.
A Sussex Police spokesperson said it was believed eight garage break-ins which took place in Ifield on March 8 were undertaken by the same people.
Police arrested two males in the vicinity and bailed them until April for further enquiries.

This girl can twirl
Former Kansas Miss Majorette starting her high school career
Natalie Brent works hard at honing her craft even if most people around her have no idea what it is she does.
The 14-year-old DeSoto High freshman twirls the baton.
It's her passion.
She practices several hours a day twice a week and uses a lot of her free time rehearsing at the school. However, she does so in relative obscurity.
"When I tell people I'm a twirler, most of them ask 'What's a twirler?'" she said. "I tell them it's those people you see in parades, marching in front of the band and flipping the silver stick."
After her performance at the National Competition at Notre Dame University last week, obscurity may be obscure for the twirler.
Brent finished in the top half in all events, and had two top 10 places, in the flag baton and team princess event.
"I felt special because I was chosen by my team for both attendance and my attitude for the event," Brent said.
Brent said she was happy with the finish, particularly because there were so many competitors and teams.
"It's great if you even finish in the top half," she said.
Brent is preparing for her first season with the Dazzlers, the combined dance/flag team that will perform at this year's high school games and assemblies. Although Brent works with the team on the dance moves in case it needs an extra member, she plans to focus on performing for the crowds.
"I'm really looking forward to [performing] at games and in front of people," Brent said.
This love for twirling started five years ago while she was attending a dance recital.
"I saw baton twirlers there and I knew that was what I wanted to do," Brent said.
Since then, Brent has been studying baton and twirling routines in Kansas City, Mo. Her instructor Heidi Jacobson said she has watched Brent grow into a team leader and a good example for the younger twirlers.
"Natalie knows how to mix in work with having a good time," Jacobson said.
Brent's hard work began to pay off when she tried her skills in local, regional and national competitions. She was named Kansas' Miss Majorette in 1998.
DeSoto Principal Debbie Lynn was among those who urged Brent to become involved with the Dazzlers as a way of showing her school spirit.
"Twirling is a lost art and I think that her performance does a lot not only for the school, but allows her to present herself and a rare specialty," Lynn said.
Brent plans to continue twirling in high school and, perhaps, through college. However, no matter what happens, she believes the lessons twirling has taught her will stick with her for the rest of her life.
"What ever you do, you have to try and do your best," Brent said.

Fargo flu clinic won't allow people to stand inside while waiting for vaccine Saturday
FARGO -- People who arrive early for Cass County's H1N1 vaccination clinic Saturday morning will have to wait outside, so health officials said they don't want lines forming before the clinic opens.
Because of how the clinic is being set up at Fargo North High School, the first parents and children to line up will not be able to wait inside despite possible inclement weather, said Ruth Bachmeier, director of Fargo Cass Public Health.
Bachmeier said they are still anticipating lots of people to come and plan to administer all of the 1,500 to 2,000 doses of H1N1, or swine flu, vaccine they have available.
Tomorrow's public H1N1 vaccination clinic is the first in Cass County.
Children ages 6 months through 9 years old are eligible to receive either the FluMist or injectable forms of the vaccine.
The clinic runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., or until the vaccine runs out. Non-North Dakota residents can participate.

We introduced the ideal convergence of generalized difference sequence spaces combining an infinite matrix of complex numbers with respect to -sequences and the Musielak-Orlicz function over -normed spaces. We also studied some topological properties and inclusion relations between these spaces.
1. Introduction
Throughout the paper,,,, anddenote the classes of all, bounded, convergent, null, and p-absolutely summable sequences of complex numbers. The sets of natural numbers and real numbers will be denoted by and , respectively. Many authors studied various sequence spaces using normed or seminormed linear spaces. In this paper, using an infinite matrix of complex numbers and the notion of ideal, we aimed to introduce some new sequence spaces with respect to generalized difference operatoron-sequences and the Musielak-Orlicz function in-normed linear spaces. By an ideal we mean a familyof subsets of a nonempty setsatisfying the following: (i); (ii)imply; (iii), imply, while an admissible idealoffurther satisfiesfor each. The notion of ideal convergence was introduced first by Kostyrko et al. [1] as a generalization of statistical convergence. The concept of 2-normed spaces was initially introduced by Gähler [2] in the 1960s, while that of-normed spaces can be found in [3]; this concept has been studied by many authors; see for instance [4–7]. The notion of ideal convergence in a 2-normed space was initially introduced by Gürdal [8]. Later on, it was extended to-normed spaces by Gürdal and Şahiner [9]. Given thatis a nontrivial ideal in , the sequencein a normed spaceis said to be-convergent to, if, for each,
A sequencein a normed spaceis said to be-bounded if there existssuch that
A sequencein a normed spaceis said to be-Cauchy if, for each, there exists a positive integersuch that
In paper [10], the notion of-convergent and bounded sequences is introduced as follows: letbe a strictly increasing sequence of positive real numbers tending to infinity; that is,
We say that a sequence is -convergent to the number, called the-limit of, ifas, where
The class of all sequencessatisfying this property is denoted by.
In particular, we say that is a -null sequence ifas. Further, we say thatis -bounded if. Here and in the sequel, we will use the convention that any term with a zero subscript is equal to naught; for example,and. Now, it is well known [10] that ifin the ordinary sense of convergence, then
This implies that which yields that and hence is -convergent to. We therefore deduce that the ordinary convergence implies the-convergence to the same limit.
An Orlicz function is a functionwhich is continuous, nondecreasing, and convex with andforand, as. If convexity ofis replaced by, then it is called a modulus function, introduced by Nakano [11]. Ruckle [12] and Maddox [13] used the idea of a modulus function to construct some spaces of complex sequences. An Orlicz functionis said to satisfy the -condition for all values of, if there exists a constant, such that. The-condition is equivalent tofor all values ofand for. Lindentrauss and Tzafriri [14] used the idea of an Orlicz function to define the following sequence spaces: which is a Banach space with the Luxemburg norm defined by
The spaceis closely related to the space, which is an Orlicz sequence space withfor. Recently different classes of sequences have been introduced using Orlicz functions. See [7, 9, 15–17].
A sequenceof Orlicz functionsfor all is called a Musielak-Orlicz function.
Kizmaz [18] defined the difference sequences , , and as follows.
. For, , and , where, for all. The above spaces are Banach spaces, normed by. The notion of difference sequence spaces was generalized by Et and Colak [19] as follows:. For, and, where, and so that. Tripathy and Esi [20] introduced the following new type of difference sequence spaces.
, ,, and, where, for all. Tripathy et al. [21], generalized the previous notions and unified them as follows.
Let and be nonnegative integers, then fora given sequence space we have where, for.
2. Definitions and Preliminaries
Let andbe a linear space over the fieldof dimension, whereandis the field of real or complex numbers. A real valued function onsatisfies the following four conditions:(1)if and only ifare linearly dependent in;(2)is invariant under permutation;(3)for any;(4), which is called an-norm onand the pairis called an-normed space over the field. For example, we may takebeing equipped with the-normthe volume of the-dimensional parallelepiped spanned by the vectorswhich may be given explicitly by the formula where for each.
Letbe an-normed space of dimensionanda linearly independent set in. Then, the functionondefined by defines an -norm on with respect to and this is known as the derived -norm. The standard -norm on , a real inner product space of dimension , is as follows: where denotes the inner product on. If we take, then
For, this-norm is the usual norm.
Definition 1. A sequencein an-normed space is said to be convergent toif
Definition 2. A sequencein an-normed space is called Cauchy (with respect to-norm) if
If every Cauchy sequence inconverges to an, thenis said to be complete (with respect to the-norm). A complete-normed space is called an -Banach space.
Definition 3. A sequencein an-normed space is said to be-convergent towith respect to-norm, if, for each , the set
Definition 4. A sequencein an-normed spaceis said to be-Cauchy if, for each , there exists a positive integersuch that the set
Letbe a sequence; thendenotes the set of all permutations of the elements of; that is,is a permutation of .
Definition 5. A sequence spaceis said to be symmetric iffor all.
Definition 6. A sequence spaceis said to be normal (or solid) if, wheneverand for all sequences of scalars withfor all.
Definition 7. A sequence spaceis said to be a sequence algebra if; then.
Lemma 8. Every-normed space is an-normed space for all. In particular, every-normed space is a normed space.
Lemma 9. On a standard-normed space, the derived-normdefined with respect to the orthogonal setis equivalent to the standard-norm. To be precise, one has
for all, where.
For any bounded sequenceof positive numbers, one has the following well known inequality: ifand, then, for alland.
3. Main Results
In this section, we define some new ideal convergent sequence spaces and investigate their linear topological structures. We find out some relations related to these sequence spaces. Let be an admissible ideal of , a Musielak-Orlicz function, and the forward generalized difference operator on the class of all sequencessatisfying the propertyand an-normed space. Further, letbe any bounded sequence of positive real numbers; we will define the following sequence spaces:
Let us consider a few special cases of the aforementioned sets.
(1) If, for all then the previous classes of sequences are denoted by, , , and , respectively.
(2) If for all then the previous classes of sequences are denoted by , , , and , respectively.
(3) If, for all and, then the previous classes of sequences are denoted by , , , and , respectively.
(4) If we take, for allandas then we denote the previous classes of sequences by, , , and, respectively.
(5) If we takeandas whereis a nondecreasing sequence of positive numbers tending to ,, and , then we denote the previous classes of sequences by,, , and .
(6) Ifas in (22), then we denote the previous classes of sequences by, , , and.
And if for all, then the previous classes of sequences are denoted by, , , andand they are a generalization of the sequence spaces defined by Bakery et al. [22].

Fairbanks, Vernier make first court appearance in Mahnomen deputy shooting
The standoff brought out 18 different law agencies and the first court appearance of Thomas Lee Fairbanks and Daniel Kurt Vernier, though on a smaller scale, brought out a large variety of law enforcement as well.
The two men, involved with the shooting of Mahnomen County Sheriff's Deputy Christopher Dewey and a standoff with police after the incident, made their first court appearances Friday morning in Mahnomen County Court. Dewey is in MeritCare in Fargo and is in critical but stable condition.
At least 50 police officers packed into the courtroom Friday, along with about a dozen family members and supporters for the two men, waiting half an hour for the hearing to begin. It was delayed half an hour due to the extensive list of charges against the men.
Public Defender Kip Fontaine had to make sure Vernier and Fairbanks understood the charges.
Vernier, 27, appeared first before Judge Michael Kracker, and was charged with 17 counts; Fairbanks, 32, followed with 22 counts filed against him.
Fairbanks has been charged with attempted murder in the first degree, attempted murder in the second degree, felon in possession of a firearm, convicted felon in possession of a firearm, 12 counts of assault in the first degree, attempted theft of a motor vehicle, four counts of reckless use of a dangerous instrument and failure to render assistant for great bodily harm.
Vernier is charged with felon in possession of a firearm, convicted felon in possession of a firearm, 12 counts of assault in the first degree, attempted theft of a motor vehicle, failure to render assistance for great bodily harm and misdemeanor criminal contempt for disobeying a court order to not consumer alcohol due to waiting sentencing on two domestic assault cases.
Vernier's bail has been set at $500,000 cash, $500,000 surety bond or $50,000 cash bond. Given the severity of Fairbanks' attempted murder charges, his bail has been set at $1 million cash, $1 million surety bond or $100,000 cash bond. Other conditions of release include no alcohol, no drugs, no firearms, no going into an establishment that has alcohol, no contact with Dewey or his family and not to leave the state of Minnesota.
Fontaine said in talking with Fairbanks he learned Fairbanks was born in and grew up around the Minneapolis area, but moved to Mahnomen in 2008 when his father was ill with cancer. Fairbanks works for White Earth transit as a driver, and has four children from age 12 years to 10 months. He is in a relationship with the mother of his youngest child. He purchased a house in Mahnomen and is "attempting to turn his life around," Fontaine said.
He requested bail be set lower because the $1 million was "impossible to meet," and Fairbanks would like to continue to work.
Given the seriousness of the charge, the request was denied and set for $1 million.
According to court documents, Vernier and Fairbanks purchased alcohol at Lucky 7 Liquor in Mahnomen. They then went to the Shooting Star Casino and drank until the bar closed. After they left, Shooting Star Casino called the White Earth Tribal Police Department about the possible drunk driving. The information was later given to the Mahnomen County Sheriff's Office.
At approximately 4:11 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 18, a resident reported the vehicle was located outside his home in a field. Deputies Dewey and Chad Peterson located the vehicle off Fifth Street in a field west of Washington Avenue. They found footprints in the snow, leading from the vehicle to a blue trailer house at 402 West Washington Ave. The deputies knocked but there was no response. They could see shoes inside with unmelted snow on them though.
At 6:22 a.m., the Mahnomen County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call of five possible gunshots fired in the area of West Washington Avenue. The two deputies returned to the area, along with Investigator Paul Osowski, and the three cleared the area after not finding the source of the possible gunshots.
Four minutes later, the sheriff's office received a call from another resident in that area that someone was knocking on the door. Two minutes later the sheriff's department received another call from a different resident saying someone was knocking at the door.
Dewey arrived at that residence as the two males were still on the steps in front of the woman's home. One of the individuals -- later identified as Vernier -- walked past Dewey. Dewey side stepped and the other male -- later identified as Fairbanks -- stepped forward and fired two rounds at Dewey, hitting him in the abdomen and right side of his head.
One minute after he arrived at the scene, a resident called in that someone had been shot. Peterson heard the shots and radioed Dewey to see if he had heard them. When there was no response, Peterson drove to the area and noticed Dewey's squad car rolling backwards. He also saw the two suspects, one with a gun, run across the street to the trailer house.
Peterson put the car in park and radioed for backup.
Dewey was taken to Mahnomen Health Center and lifeflighted to MeritCare. His gunshot wounds caused damage to his liver and one bullet was still in his nasal cavity.
Officers surrounded the West Washington Avenue residence to detain the two occupants, which turned into a standoff involving over 150 law enforcement agents. During that time, gunshots were fired inside the trailer house. Evidence showed later four shots were fired at a north wall in the general direction of law enforcement.
Vernier surrendered around 9:30 a.m. He later gave police a statement, identifying Fairbanks as the shooter and adding that Fairbanks had demanded they steal the squad car. Fairbanks surrendered around 4 p.m., but he refused to give a statement to law enforcement.
Fairbanks has previously been convicted of burglary in the first degree in August 2001; Vernier has been convicted of felony domestic assault in November 2008 and also second degree assault.
The next court appearance for both men is Thursday, Feb. 26, at 9 a.m. in Mahnomen County.

Bedford is raising heck over the tent Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi pitched in their town last month.
The suburban town's attorney said the firm that rented Donald Trump's estate for Gadhafi's encampment has been fined $1,000 for violating zoning codes.
But Bedford Town Attorney Joel Sachs also noted Trump is off the hook because the lease made the tenant responsible for permits.
The tent, which the Libyan leader never visited during his United Nations stay, was taken down Sept. 23 at the town's insistence. But it was put up again the very next day -- and that triggered the lawsuit.
Sachs said Belleweather Strategies LLC pleaded guilty Thursday night and a judge levied the maximum fine. Sachs said Belleweather was an agent for the Libyan government.
Robert Gaudioso, who represented Bellewether in court, said Friday he could not comment.

Through the S-Logic™ Natural Surround Sound the usual headphone sound will be moved out of the head in the room around you. The sound is no longer locked in, but appears broad and detached. Directions and distances can be heard and perceived - it's just like being in a live concert.
For this new technology additional equipment is not required. A pair
of ULTRASONE headphones plus your sound device and you will be
ready for the 3-dimensional music enjoyment!
The S-Logic™ Natural Surround Sound System allows an up to 40% lower dB output (3-4 dB) for the same loudness sensation, thereby the risk of hearing defects may be reduced enormously.

It is certified and recommended by Technical Surveillance Organi-
sations and Consumer Advice Centers with certified low magnetic field emissions.
The sound has been tested by DJs and competitors and proved as the best in the whole DJ-sector. With its black & white outfit it glows slightly in the UV-lights of discotheques and the DJ1-logo is recognizable where ever it shows up. For the needs of DJs it is most important to deal with S-Logic™ headphones considering safer hearing aspects.
Its robustness in addition to the Natural Surround Sound System makes the DJ1 to one of the most demanded headphones in the this sector. With its particularly efficient 50 mm Mylar electro acoustical driver these headphones are especially designed for DJs. As a result of the high efficiency they produce an impressive sound pressure even with a high environmental sound intensity. Furthermore they are made for high power input.

Broadway Financial Corp. Reports Operating Results (10-Q)
Posted by: gurufocus (IP Logged)
Date: November 13, 2009 06:16PM
Broadway Financial Corp. (BYFC) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2009-09-30. Broadway Financial Corporation's principal business is serving as a holding company for Broadway Federal. The company's and Broadway Federal's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Broadway Financial Corp. has a market cap of $11.4 million; its shares were traded at around $6.534 with a P/E ratio of 14.8 and P/S ratio of 0.5. The dividend yield of Broadway Financial Corp. stocks is 3.1%. Broadway Financial Corp. had an annual average earning growth of 25.9% over the past 10 years. GuruFocus rated Broadway Financial Corp. the business predictability rank of 3.5-star.
Highlight of Business Operations:
Net earnings for the third quarter of 2009 were $333 thousand, or $0.10 per diluted common share, down $296 thousand, or 47.06%, when compared with net earnings of $629 thousand, or $0.34 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in net earnings was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in the provision for loan losses and a $0.6 million decrease in non-interest income, which were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses.
Non-interest income totaled $34 thousand for the third quarter of 2009, down $551 thousand, or 94.19%, from the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to $267 thousand higher provision for losses on loans held for sale, net losses of $11 thousand on mortgage banking activities in 2009 compared to net gains of $222 thousand on mortgage banking activities in 2008 and $51 thousand lower service charges in 2009 compared to 2008. During the third quarter of 2009, a loan held for sale that was modified during the first quarter of 2009 became delinquent under the modified terms. As the value of the property securing such loan had declined significantly, we increased our specific loss allocation related to this loan by $270 thousand. Net gains on mortgage banking activities was lower in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008 as the prior year quarter was positively impacted by a $198 thousand valuation adjustment on our mortgage servicing rights asset. The decrease in service charges primarily reflects lower retail banking fees in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the third quarter of 2008.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, non-interest income totaled $447 thousand, down $800 thousand, or 64.15%, from a year ago. The decrease primarily reflected $617 thousand higher provision for losses on loans held for sale and $251 thousand lower net gains on mortgage banking activities which were partially offset by $66 thousand higher service charges. Due to increased delinquency on several loans held for sale and decreasing values of the underlying real estate collateral, it became necessary to increase the allowance for losses on loans held for sale by $617 thousand, from $260 thousand at December 31, 2008 to $877 thousand at September 30, 2009. The $251 thousand decrease in net gains on mortgage banking activities was primarily due to the 2008 valuation adjustment on mortgage servicing assets as discussed above. The $66 thousand increase in non-interest income from service charges resulted from increased late fee income charged for delinquent loan payments and increased loan servicing fee income with the growth in our serviced loan portfolio.
Non-interest expense totaled $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2009, up $192 thousand, or 7.32%, from the third quarter a year ago. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in FDIC insurance premium expense, compensation and benefits expense and professional services expense. Partially offsetting these increases was lower other expense. FDIC insurance premium expense increased $98 thousand, or 188.46%, as the regular assessment rate was increased over the prior year rate. The increase in FDIC assessments became necessary to recapitalize the FDIC insurance fund as the result of insurance claims paid for numerous bank failures in 2008 and year-to-date in 2009. Management expects FDIC insurance premiums to remain at elevated levels through at least 2011. Compensation and benefits expense increased $88 thousand, or 6.07%, primarily due to higher salaries expense and payroll tax expense resulting from annual pay increases and staff addition, higher health insurance expense, and higher stock option compensation expense related to new option grants, which was partially offset by lower bonus expense. Professional services expense increased $65 thousand, or 41.40%, primarily due to a $121 thousand increase in legal expenses which was partially offset by a $37 thousand reversal of accrued SOX consulting fees. Other expense decreased $61 thousand, or 21.40%, primarily due to decreases in donations, sponsorships, and promotions.
At September 30, 2009, assets totaled $520.0 million, up $112.0 million, or 27.47%, from year-end 2008. During the first nine months of 2009, net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $102.7 million, or 28.70%, and securities available for sale and held to maturity increased $6.0 million, or 22.36%. Other increases in assets were in real estate owned (REO) which increased $1.1 million and deferred tax assets, net which increased $1.3 million due to an increase in our allowance for loan losses which is not currently deductible for tax purposes.
At September 30, 2009, non-performing assets, consisting of non-accrual and delinquent loans 90 or more days past due and REO, were $14.8 million, or 2.84% of total assets, compared to $3.5 million, or 0.85% of total assets, at December 31, 2008. Non-accrual loans at September 30, 2009 totaled $13.7 million, of which $3.8 million represented one-to-four family loans, $1.5 million represented multi-family loans, $6.0 million represented commercial real estate loans, primarily church loans, and $2.4 million represented commercial and unsecured consumer loans. This compares to $3.5 million of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2008, of which $0.2 million represented a multi-family loan, $3.1 million represented commercial real estate loans, including church loans, and $0.2 million represented commercial and unsecured consumer loans. At September 30, 2009, real estate owned totaled $1.1 million, consisting of two one-to-four family residential properties and a residential lot. The Bank had no loans in foreclosure or REO at December 31, 2008.

I've been playing the beta demo on the 360 obsessively for days now. Finally... a mariokart for a platform I own! Other posts on this seem to be devoted to the PC version, which has people saying 'meh', but I'm really enjoying the 360 version.
This is the first game that actually makes me want to use the internet connection on my 360. Any takers?

What about prior to three years? History is what happened in the past and it is probably correct given that credit reports the history over 7 years. Keep paying your bills on time for the next 4 years and you will have a new score of "A"

Miami (UPI) Oct 29, 2008
Production at Brazil's newly discovered offshore oil fields may be delayed by the lack of legislation to oversee the finds, according to energy officials.
Since the first large offshore oil deposits discovery in 2007, Brazilian lawmakers have begun seeking ways to spend what surely will amount to a multibillion-dollar windfall.
However, profits from what some experts say is a 55 billion-barrel reserve off the Brazilian coast are not guaranteed, considering that investment in the deepwater drilling is expected to surpass $100 billion.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, a longtime champion of the left whose monetary policy has been somewhat conservative during his first six years in office, said the country's oil profits should be spent revamping Brazil's educational system, particularly for the country's vast poor populace.
A former union leader, Lula said in September that Brazil's recent oil fortunes would help Brazil wipe out endemic poverty once and for all, a bold claim considering the South American country has one of the world's largest economic divides been the haves and have-nots.
Lula warned that the money must not be spent on "silly things," a direct reference to the recent frenzy of discussion among lawmakers in Brasilia on how to spend Brazil's future oil fortunes. Among the recently proposed expenditures is a fleet of nuclear submarines.
With full-scale production years away, talk of costly warships and the pricey revamping of an antiquated educational system is premature, analysts warn.
"All of the findings so far are probable. żż They aren't proven yet," Jorge Pinon, energy fellow at the Center for Hemispheric Policy at the University of Miami, told United Press International.
Along with uncertainty about just how much oil lies beneath the Atlantic off Brazil is the difficulty in retrieving it from beneath thousands of feet of water and salt deposits under the ocean floor.
While the pre-salt findings at the much heralded Tupi field -- believed to hold somewhere between 5 billion and 8 billion barrels -- went online for the first time last week, the post-salt reserves are far deeper and could prove extremely difficult to access.
Though state-run Brazilian energy firm Petrobras is a world leader in offshore oil drilling, extracting oil from extreme depths is a difficult and costly endeavor, said Pinon.
"It's not that Brazil doesn't have the technological know-how -- the industry as a whole doesn't have the experience," he said. "It's a new geological frontier."
Others contend that Brazil's wealth of experience in deepwater drilling will allow it to make good on its projected timetable for production to begin in Tupi.
"As one of the industry's premier deepwater players, Petrobras absolutely has the ability to profitably develop recent huge discoveries," said Michael Lewis, an analyst with PFC Energy.
Drilling difficulties aside, the current global economic climate could hamper production from starting in the near future.
Last week OPEC President Chakib Khelil noted the $100 billion price tag on drilling Brazil's offshore deposits and the problems Petrobras could face, considering the large amount of capital it would need to borrow and the worldwide credit freeze.
Hoping to forge ahead, Brazilian energy officials maintain they will have 11 offshore platforms operating in the Tupi oil field by 2017.
