Philosophers and literary theorists argue about three things: what fiction is, how fiction should be interpreted, and what imagination is. In Only Imagine, I suggest that all three questions can be illuminated simultaneously. I aim to build a theory of fiction that also tells us about the imagination, and vice versa.
My focus is on texts. First, I defend a theory of fictional interpretation (or 'fictional truth' as it's sometimes called). When we read a novel or story, we understand certain things as part of the plot: 'truths' about characters, places, and events (though of course these are usually not actually true, but made up). A lot of the time, these 'truths' are made explicit – directly referred to by the words used by the author. But equally, in many cases, plot elements are only implied, not referred to explicitly. By what principle does or should the reader work out what such elements are, for a given story? Whether explicit or implied, I argue that fictional truths are to be discerned by working out what the author of the story intended the reader to imagine.

But for those who are not technically capable, Mac4Lin is a linux distribution that can make your PC look like a Mac. Of course, there are programs that are exclusive to Mac and have not been ported to linux. I have never been a fan of making one OS look like another. However people do things just because they can. So, if this is your thing, try it. (My thoughts: looks like Mac in some ways, but does not "feel" like it though)
The Inquirer: Designed by Anirudh Acharya of San Diego, California, Mac4Lin looks like the real thing. Only instead of a fully blessed by Steve Jobs Leopard OS X under the bonnet, it runs something which is not proprietary and is free.
Mac4Lin supports GNOME 2.26 and is backwards compatible. It is unlikely to appeal to the Linux purist, who probably wouldn't stoop to stick anything like a Windows 7 look on Linux either.
Maybe it is just the fact that one has a OS that resembles a proprietary for free that makes people want to do things like this. I would like to hear your thoughts if you do like to skin your operating system.

Cloudy Monday afternoon at the Kadriorg stadium as the protagonists were preparing for the derby match of round 13 from Premium Liiga between Levadia and Sillamäe. Both teams are in chase for the top of the table as they both haven't been defeated in the last 5 rounds and it was a great opportunity for one of them to make a serious step towards top 2.
The match started with an active game on both sides. Levadia had a bit more possession, but it was Sillamäe who had the first chance of the match. Sidorenkov nicely sent a ball in the box from the left side, but Kvasov's header went over the bar. In the 14th minute dangerous cross from Artur Pikk on the other side but Teever was few centimeters short. 3 minutes later Luts tried his luck from distance but his shot went wide. In the 19th minute new chance for Sillamäe and again Kvasov in the main role as the striker of the guests missed the ball by little. In the 22nd minute the biggest chance of the match so far as Peetson perfectly found Omar in the box, but the Egyptian couldn't pull out a proper shot. In the 30th minute corner for Sillamäe from the left side and yet again Kvasov with a header over the bar. In the following 10 minutes both teams kind of lost breath and couldn't create any chances that would endanger the goalkeepers on both sides. In the 40th minute after a mess in Starodubtsev's box, the ball went in corner. Kruglov sent a nice curled ball towards the middle where Rakhmanov was left completely unmarked and almost effortlessly sent the ball in the net. 1-0 deserved lead for the hosts and super difficult situation for the guests. In the 44th minute the home team almost doubled their lead after Peetson again nicely found Omar at the edge of the box. This time El Hussieny managed to pull out a nice shot but Starodubtsev with a nice save denied him. Soon after that the referee Frischer blew the whistle to end the first 45 minutes.
Interesting match between two quality teams and certainly more action can be expected in the second half.
At the start of the second 45 minutes coach Frantcev decided to make changes so he introduced Toomet and Volkov instead of Silich and Kvasov. However, it was still Levadia the team that pressed higher, although without shots on target. In the 50th minute great ball for Teever at the edge of the box, but good save from Starodubtsev. In the 55th minute massive chance for Sillamäe, but Volkov's header went just wide. It was definitely period for the guests as they tried hard to score, but Levadia was very dangerous on the counter. During one similar situation Levadia got a corner after which a mess was created in Starodubtsev's box. The full-back Juuso Laitinen received the ball inside the box, created space for shot and with a small deflection managed to double the reigning champions' lead. 2-0 and little chance for Sillamäe to come back in this one. In the 70th minute Omar nicely sent a ball inside the box towards Peetson, but his header went just over the bar. 2 minutes later the Egyptian tried himself after sneakily taking the ball away from Dubõkin, but his shot was off target. In the 76th minute Rakhmanov almost scored a brace after Starodubtsev didn't react very well inside his box. Sidorenkov managed to clear the ball away. In the 81st minute Hindrek Ojamaa nicely made his way inside the box, but the goalkeeper of the guests this time with a well timed tackle managed to save his goal. Until the end of the match the reigning champions routinely kept the guests at bay to register their 3rd win in the last 5 matches and cement themselves on the third position.
After the shaky start of the season, Levadia have definitely found their rhythm and in the few rounds to come they will seriously push for the top. As for Sillamäe, this loss puts them in a bad position as they trail 3 points behind Levadia and 7 behind the leaders Kalju.
RdS Man of the match: Rasmus Peetson

I think we may be able to help. We have a large selection of operators like this, which you can see here. I can't quite tell what would be best for you, though. I recommend browsing through this part of our catalog to see if you can find a good match. If not, we will need you to remove the operator from the window and show us a clear picture of the link and gear arm. I will also need you to measure the distance between the installation holes and let me know what you get. Thank you!

5 Things the Browns Could Learn from Super Bowl XLVI TeamsFebruary 5, 2012
5 Things the Browns Could Learn from Super Bowl XLVI Teams
Super Bowl Sunday: The biggest day of the year for football and its fans. The day on which the last two teams standing at the end of the season get to play for all the marbles. And a day which the Browns will spend sitting at home on the couch, as they have on every other Super Bowl Sunday prior to this one.
The Cleveland Browns have come painfully close to getting to the big dance a few times, been painfully far away from it too many times to count, and have landed somewhere unspectacularly in-between the rest of the time. But regardless of how close they have come, they have never made it all the way.
This Sunday is, of course, no different. The New England Patriots and New York Giants will square off in Super Bowl XLVI, with the Browns, along with the 29 other NFL teams watching from home.
But while finishing at the bottom of the AFC North with a 4-12 record made for yet another disappointing, Super Bowl-less season for the Browns, perhaps there is still a small something to be gained from the 2011-12 season for the Browns.
Perhaps today, amid the beer and the chicken wings and the spectacularly bad half-time programming, the Browns just might learn something useful from watching the Super Bowl contestants giving everything they've got for the chance to win it all.
An overused-but-true sports platitude says "you can't win 'em all," and if you're the Browns, you can't win most of 'em. But perhaps Cleveland might at least get something useful out of today's championship game, even if they were a long way from having a chance to actually participate in it.
Following are five things the Browns could learn from watching the Patriots and Giants today in Super Bowl XLVI.
1. Diversify the Offensive Game Plan
One of the biggest problems the Browns had in 2011 was predictability on offense. Everyone, including the opposing players, the commentators, and every armchair quarterback watching the Browns from the local bar, knew exactly where the ball was going the second the Browns snapped it all season long.
A lot of this had to do with the much-maligned play calling the Browns got from head coach/offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, but it also relates to a lack of depth on the team and not having the proper personnel to be able to regularly sustain a game plan based on keeping the opponent guessing.
Both the Giants and the Patriots do an excellent job of spreading the ball around, running complex offensive schemes in which the type of plays called vary greatly, and generally keeping the opposing defense in the dark about where exactly the ball might end up on any given play.
Obviously, the Browns don't have the depth of talent at any offensive position, especially at receiver and tight end, to allow them the same myriad possibilities available to the Giants and Patriots, both of whom are able to run heavy receiver sets or two-tight end plays when necessary because they have so much depth of talent.
Still, that doesn't mean the Browns can't watch and learn something from them. If nothing else, seeing what the Giants and Patriots can do with their talent pool should motivate the Browns to continue to work harder to build depth at these positions.
And regardless of whether they're working with less resources than New England or New York, they should also be able to take cues from those teams as to how they might vary their offensive game plan and play calling a bit more, using what personnel they do have to work with.
2. Adapt to a Pass-Happy League
The San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens apart, the top competitors in the NFL in 2011-12 are all pass-happy teams.
The NFL has become a largely pass-first league, at least among those teams who are regular playoff contenders.
The Browns have gone a different route over the past few years, adopting a largely run-first offense and seemingly avoiding passing plays at all costs. It's an odd scheme for a supposed West Coast Offense, which typically survives mostly on short pass plays, but the Browns haven't exactly been running the WCO by the book.
Some of that, again, is a lack of proper weaponry, but regardless of the reason they continue to stubbornly run the ball far too often in a league where it has been proven many times that a pass-heavy offense is a big part of what will get you to the Super Bowl.
Obviously there are loads of other components that go into building a Super Bowl team, but looking at the Giants and Patriots, this is clearly one of the biggest.
Regardless of whether you agree with Bernard Pollard that the Patriots "run a dink and dunk offense," the fact remains that they run a pass-first offense and that it works. The same can be said for the Giants, who have relied far more heavily on their big three at wide receiver than on injury-prone and semi-underachieving running backs Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs.
Clearly the Browns can only work with what they have; if the personnel isn't there on the field and the play-calling abilities aren't there on the sideline, they can't just decide to run a more pass-driven offense. However, they still need to be cognizant of what the trend is in the league right now, and how they might need to adapt some, if not all, of their offensive scheme to follow suit.
3. Build a Killer Pass Rush
We've said it a million times before, and it makes sense to say it one more time here: The Browns defense needs to build a killer pass rush to solidify its improving and high-potential defense.
There are plenty of jokes going around about how on earth the Patriots even got into a Super Bowl with their sub-standard defense, some of which are well-deserved and some of which are exaggerated, but nobody is kidding around about the New York Giants' killer front seven.
The Browns might take a page out of the Giants' book here. There are few teams that demonstrate an explosive, aggressive pass rush better than New York, and the effect it can have on the success of their entire team has shown.
Defense obviously isn't the Browns' biggest problem heading into 2012, but their difficulty stopping the run and lackluster pass rush clearly need improvement.
The Giants' pass rush terrifies opposing offenses. The Browns' front seven might surprise opponents on occasion, but they have yet to consistently play at a level that establishes a reputation that will give opposing quarterbacks nightmares the week before they have to face them.
The good news on this particular area requiring improvement is that the Browns aren't that far off from where they need to be. Unlike their problems on offense, Cleveland's coaching staff has shown it has the chops to build up something impressive in this area and personnel-wise, they are only a few players away from being able to make this happen.
4. Consistency, Clock Management, and Playmaking When It Counts
Unless you happen to be blowing the doors off an opponent or getting your own doors blown off, in the NFL, timing is everything.
Whether you're racing against the clock to score in time to get ahead or managing the clock to keep an opponent from having many opportunities to score themselves, football is all about timing.
The Browns, unfortunately, were spectacularly bad at time management during their 2011 season.
Neither the Giants nor the Patriots run a ball-control offense (nor should they), but both teams definitely manage the clock well. They know how to use time effectively, whether its in the form of efficiency and scoring quickly when they need to or running time off the clock to take opportunities away from the opponent.
The Browns, on the other hand, failed miserably on both counts this season, and seemed unable to efficiently march down the field to score on the fly when precious time was ticking away, as well as unable to slow the game down enough to keep opponents from creating more scoring chances for themselves.
A lot of our demands for the Browns this offseason revolve around coaching and play-calling issues, but clock management has to be one of the highest-priority items on that list. Until the Browns get better at this, they will continue to have to fight against both the opposing team and the clock in a manner which has proven to date to be too much to handle.
5. It's Time to Get a Little Bit Angry
All week long, the Giants and Patriots have been trading barbs and subtle insults. It has been irritating, predictable, and also, completely necessary.
As much as we are all sick of hearing about Brady's quote that supposedly implied that the Patriots had this thing sewn up already or the rest of the subtle and not-so-subtle jabs that have been traded between New England and New York this week, there's always something reassuring about hearing two teams talking about one another in a manner that, even if disrespectful and slightly irritating, shows just how badly each wants to beat the other and win.
The Browns have been missing that sort of fire for quite some time. Sure, some of that is to be expected given their lack of success. It's easy to be fired up when you're playing in the Super Bowl. Staying that motivated when you're trying to match your sad 5-11 record from last season requires an entirely different level of ability to sustain mind over matter.
Still, regardless of the fact that for the time being, the Browns are confined only to games that take place on a far smaller stage and with far less importance for football as a whole, they need to recognize that this stuff still matters to their stubborn, fiercely loyal fan base.
Even if they ultimately fail to follow through on the threat, we want to see our team go out there every Sunday with intent to kill, crush, humiliate, and besiege their opponent until it has nothing left. Even if Cleveland still loses, at least this way we would know their hearts were in it.
The Browns were much too quiet in terms of trash talk this season. Some might consider that a good thing, but I think a little war of words with an opponent can be a good thing, especially for a team that often appears defeated and unmotivated.
Obviously any regular season game, no matter who is playing in it, will never warrant the level of trash talk that a Super Bowl will. But if the Browns could just get a little angrier, a little pushier, and a little more fired up, the change in attitude might end up making a huge difference in their caliber of play.

Organizations face more complexity in the type of work they do, the problems they face, and the markets they interact with. This is due to increasing connections between everyone and everything. To deal with this complexity, organizations should loosen hierarchies and strengthen networks. This challenges command and control management as well as the concept that those in leadership positions are special. Leadership in networks is an emergent property.

Despite what we see with some so-called leaders (with naricissistic tendencies) in politics, schools, and corporations, leaders assume responsibility and understand they cannot control everything. Good teaching is premised on this as well.
Although managing is essential in certain situations, it is too often conflated with leading.

For many people, their home is their biggest asset, and if they find themselves in financial difficulty, they may consider selling their home to release its equity. However, this course of action isn't for everyone, and it's shouldn't be taken lightly. It's important to get independent financial advice before you sell, and think about the short and long term ramifications of selling. Here are some things to consider before you put your house on the market.
Secured or unsecured debt?
If you are behind on secured debt, such as mortgage payments or secured loans, then missing payments may mean your property will be repossessed. If you're starting to fall behind, then you may feel that selling is your best option, before a repossession takes place, but again, it's important to get financial advice first.
If you have unsecured debts such as credit cards, payday loans, or store cards, then you may have options other than selling your home. This could include negotiating an informal payment plan, or going a more formal route such as an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), which could mean you could keep the house.
Time and cost involved with selling
Some properties will sell more quickly than others, and homes in undesirable locations or poor condition could take a long time to sell. However, there are still options. You could sell through Quick Move Now, who buy any mortgageable home in England and Wales, regardless of condition, for cash. This also save you from having to pay fees, which can add up to several thousand.
Housing situation
Once you've paid off your debts, there's often a sense of relief, but then you'll still have the worry of keeping a roof over your head. Selling your property might mean you need to move to rental accommodation, or live with relatives, and it can be hard to get back on the property ladder. It's worth thinking about what will happen once your house has sold. Will you have enough money left over as a deposit on a new place, or will you be stuck renting forever? This is why getting professional financial advice is so important when making these decisions.
Taxes and fees
The amount of tax you pay on your property sale will vary depending on where you live and your property situation. If the house you're selling is your primary residence, then you might not have to pay capital gains tax, and the amount of stamp duty you pay will be relative to the selling price of the property, with places under £125,000 in England being exempt from stamp duty. It's worth thinking about any taxes that you'll pay on your profits, and whether the net amount from the sale will be enough to settle your debts.
If you are heading for repossession, or simply struggling with your debts, then it might be tempting to put your house on the market. However, it's not the best option for everyone, so you'll need to do some research, think about the long term effects on your finances and family, and come to a decision that's right for you.

Brisbane Lush HaulSaturday, August 13, 2016
Hey guys! My adventures in Brisbane last weekend led me into Lush (oh, what a surprise) and I picked up a few goodies that I've been drooling over for quite a while now. My room currently smells like a Lush store and I'm not complaining one bit! I thought I'd share these with you now, as I'm sure they're going to disappear rather quickly!
Think Pink Bath Bomb-This one looks and smells very similar to the Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb that Lush brought out at Easter, which is totally OK with me as Fluffy Egg is one of my favourite bath bombs ever. I love the colour this goes in the water, and combined with the sweet scent it's just the ultimate pick-me-up!
Sakura Bath Bomb- I just had to pick this one up in honour of the trip to Japan my family will be going on soon! The description reads 'Imagine the cherry blossom falling softly... in a warm gentle breeze into your bath'...how cute! This one has a really gentle scent and I can imagine it will be so relaxing to use.
Sex Bomb Bath Bomb- Anyone else got the song stuck in their head? Because I definitely do! This bath bomb has scents of jasmine, sage and ylang ylang and it smells absolutely divine! I can tell it's going to look amazing in the bath as well. I absolutely can't wait to try it!
The Experimenter Bath Bomb- I've been wanting to try this one for so long, it's so colourful and I've seen it feature on Instagram so much! It has a lovely vanilla scent, but I am wondering what this will look like once the colours mix in the bath-I can imagine it might turn a wonderful shade of grey? I'm going to find out!
Frozen Bath Bomb- This is another bath bomb I've had my eyes on for ages! I was so surprised when I smelt this bath bomb, I thought it was bound to have a cool minty kind of scent-but it's grapefruit! It was totally unexpected but also works so well. The blue bath bombs are always my favourites so I'm really excited to try this one out!
Did you catch my last Lush Haul? Have you tried any of these bath bombs? What are your favourite Lush Products?Kate x

free sw to model ocean wave energy device?
Can anyone recommend free software to model and predict the amount of energy that can be captured by an ocean wave energy conversion device (OWEC)? The software would have to model both the ocean waves and the effects of the device, its surfaces, mass, buoyancy, and the externally generated damping forces that are dynamically applied to the device. A 2D linear inviscid model that could be used to compute the steady-state energy conversion for mono- or poly-chromatic waves would be adequate to start. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There are Still Uncertainties about the Benefits of Proton-Beam Radiotherapy (PRT) over Conventional Radiotherapy
February 3, 2013 by Sunday
Filed under Prostate Cancer News
Radiotherapy is a treatment procedure in which high intense ultra violet ray is administered on a patient with cancer to destroy the affected cells.
It is one of the common known treatments for prostate cancer while others include surgery and chemotherapy, etc. Radiotherapy has its demerits of which a notable case is when non-cancerous cells are destroyed by the high intensive radiation light.
Many types of radiation treatments have been developed and Proton-Beam Radiotherapy (PRT) is one of them. This procedure helps to treat cancer cells better without damage to the unaffected cells.
However, PRT has been criticized as been expensive without being a better treatment than the conventional treatment. The extract below reveals more details on why the uncertainly about proton-beam Radiotherapy still lingers:
Proton-beam radiotherapy (PRT) is much more expensive than conventional radiotherapy, but is it any better? The question is unanswered because few studies have compared the 2 directly.
The main claim is that PRT is safer than conventional radiotherapy.
"Proton therapy gives us a better dose distribution, so there is less harm to healthy tissue," William Hartsell, MD, medical director of ProCure's Proton Therapy Center in Chicago, Illinois, told Medscape Medical News. "This therapy is particularly valuable in children," he explained, because radiotherapy can be quite damaging and have long-term effects in this population.
Because proton treatment is so much less damaging to normal tissue, the course of treatment can be compressed, he added.
It is being used in a variety of adult malignancies, including tumors of the brain, central nervous system, head and neck, lung, and prostate. "The precision of proton therapy has made it possible to reach tumors at the base of skull and along the spinal cord, which are very difficult to treat," said Dr. Hartsell. "We are able to effectively treat more of these patients now."
Increasing Use of Proton Therapy
The first proton accelerator for medicinal use was located at Loma Linda University in California in 1990. There are currently 10 centers in operation in the United States and 9 in various stages of development, according to the National Association for Proton Therapy. By mid-2008, almost 20,000 patients had been treated with PRT in the United States, and more than 30,000 had been treated globally.
There are centers in China, Japan, and in several European countries, although there are still only about 40 worldwide, Dr. Hartsell noted. "But there has been substantial growth over the past decade, and we may be looking at 50 or even 70 centers in the next 10 years."
However, the increasing interest in PRT has been criticized. In an opinion piece published in New York Times last year, Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, an oncologist and former adviser to President Barack Obama, criticized the Mayo Clinic for building 2 proton-beam facilities, at a cost of more than $180 million each. He referred to it as being part of a "medical arms race," and noted that PRT, which costs taxpayers billions of dollars, has not been proven to be better than less expensive options for many patients.
It is "crazy medicine and unsustainable public policy," he wrote.
The higher price would be worth it if PRT cured more people or significantly reduced adverse effects. But to date, the evidence is not there, save for a "handful of rare pediatric cancers," such as brain and spinal cord cancer, he explained.
"For children, the treatment does a better job of limiting damage to normal brain cells and reducing the risk of cognitive impairment and hearing loss," Dr. Emanuel wrote. However, fewer than 3500 children are diagnosed with these cancers each year. It is impossible to keep the "existing proton-beam centers in full use, much less the approximately 20 others in planning or construction, with so few patients."
This is why patients with other types of cancer, most notably that of the prostate, have been targeted, he noted. Click here to read the full extract.
Finally, from the facts presented in the extract above, the importance of administering the Proton-Beam Radiotherapy (PRT) cannot be overemphasized. However, we are still reminded of the fact that the benefits this treatment have over conventional radiotherapy are yet to be clearly proven.
These facts still remains and issue of concern that still lingers.PRT is an expensive procedure compared to conventional radiotherapy and it requires huge investment to establish its facilities. Perhaps, from the above article we can readily make decisions on which of the radiation types to go for.
Study Suggests Regular Consumption of Deep-Fried Food Increase the Risk of Prostate Cancer – It also has Strong effect on the more Aggressive Form
February 2, 2013 by Sunday
Filed under Prostate Cancer News
It is no news that consumption of certain diet is linked with cancer of the prostate. A new study is now suggesting that another dimension of diet can lead to aggressive form of prostate cancer.
The regular intake of deep-fried food has been associated with increased risk of prostate cancer. The findings of this study have been posted online in The Prostate.
Researchers with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center carried out the study and below are more details on the study:
Regular consumption of deep-fried foods such as French fries, fried chicken and doughnuts is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, and the effect appears to be slightly stronger with regard to more aggressive forms of the disease, according to a study by investigators at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Corresponding author Janet L. Stanford, Ph.D., and colleagues Marni Stott-Miller, Ph.D., a postdoctoral research fellow and Marian Neuhouser, Ph.D., all of the Hutchinson Center's Public Health Sciences Division, have published their findings online in The Prostate.
While previous studies have suggested that eating foods made with high-heat cooking methods, such as grilled meats, may increase the risk of prostate cancer, this is the first study to examine the addition of deep frying to the equation.
From French fries to doughnuts: Eating more than once a week may raise risk
Specifically, Stanford, co-director of the Hutchinson Center's Program in Prostate Cancer Research, and colleagues found that men who reported eating French fries, fried chicken, fried fish and/or doughnuts at least once a week were at an increased risk of prostate cancer as compared to men who said they ate such foods less than once a month.
In particular, men who ate one or more of these foods at least weekly had an increased risk of prostate cancer that ranged from 30 to 37 percent. Weekly consumption of these foods was associated also with a slightly greater risk of more aggressive prostate cancer. The researchers controlled for factors such as age, race, family history of prostate cancer, body-mass index and PSA screening history when calculating the association between eating deep-fried foods and prostate cancer risk.
"The link between prostate cancer and select deep-fried foods appeared to be limited to the highest level of consumption – defined in our study as more than once a week – which suggests that regular consumption of deep-fried foods confers particular risk for developing prostate cancer," Stanford said.
Deep frying may trigger formation of carcinogens in food
Possible mechanisms behind the increased cancer risk, Stanford hypothesizes, include the fact that when oil is heated to temperatures suitable for deep frying, potentially carcinogenic compounds can form in the fried food. They include acrylamide (found in carbohydrate-rich foods such as French fries), heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (chemicals formed when meat is cooked at high temperatures), aldehyde (an organic compound found in perfume) and acrolein (a chemical found in herbicides). These toxic compounds are increased with re-use of oil and increased length of frying time.
Foods cooked with high heat also contain high levels of advanced glycation endproducts, or AGEs, which have been associated with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Deep-fried foods are among the highest in AGE content. A chicken breast deep fried for 20 minutes contains more than nine times the amount of AGEs as a chicken breast boiled for an hour, for example.
For the study, Stanford and colleagues analyzed data from two prior population-based case-control studies involving a total of 1,549 men diagnosed with prostate cancer and 1,492 age-matched healthy controls. The men were Caucasian and African-American Seattle-area residents and ranged in age from 35 to 74 years. Participants were asked to fill out a dietary questionnaire about their usual food intake, including specific deep-fried foods.
The first study of its kind
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to look at the association between intake of deep-fried food and risk of prostate cancer," Stanford said. However, deep-fried foods have previously been linked to cancers of the breast, lung, pancreas, head and neck, and esophagus.
Because deep-fried foods are primarily eaten outside the home, it is possible that the link between these foods and prostate cancer risk may be a sign of high consumption of fast foods in general, the authors wrote, citing the dramatic increase in fast-food restaurants and fast-food consumption in the U.S. in the past several decades.
The project was supported by the National Cancer Institute and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Click here to read more.
To conclude, this is another study that lends to the effects of fried foods to the body. Deep-fried foods can form carcinogens on the body cells increase the risk of disease like prostate cancer. We should learn from this research and monitor what we eat.
Previous research findings have linked deep-fried Foods with other similar cancerous diseases in the past. For more details on the report of the study, checkout the link for the Online Library provided above.
Prostate Cancer Diagnosis – Scientists Analyze Genetic Information in Exosomes to Diagnose and Monitor Cancer Progressions
February 2, 2013 by Sunday
Filed under Prostate Cancer News
An effective noninvasive approach to diagnose cancer easily has been discovered by scientists. This method makes possible the analyzing of strands of genetic information contained in the RNA of fragments of cancer cells.
The proteins shed by these fragments are studied to determine certain forms of cancer and the possible progression. The good news about this approach is that it non-invasive and less painful or life-threatening like the biopsies.
An online report about this study provides the following facts:
Strands of genetic information preserved inside microvesicles, called exosomes, may help scientists diagnose certain forms of cancer and monitor tumor progression. Image: everystockphoto
Fragments of RNA that cells eject in fatty droplets may point the way to a new era of cancer diagnosis, potentially eliminating the need for invasive tests in certain cases.
Cancer tumor cells shed microvesicles containing proteins and RNA fragments, called exosomes, into cerebral spinal fluid, blood, and urine. Within these exosomes is genetic information that can be analyzed to determine the cancer's molecular composition and state of progression. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital discovered that exosomes preserve the genetic information of their parent cells in 2008, however exosomes have not seen widespread clinical testing as a means of cancer diagnosis until now.
"We have never really been able to detect the genetic components of a tumor by blood or spinal fluid," says Harvard University neurologist Fred Hochberg. "This is really a new strategy." He says exosome diagnostic tests could potentially detect and monitor the progression of a wide variety of cancers. He is one of the lead researchers in a multicenter clinical study using new exosomal diagnostic tests developed by New York City-based Exosome Diagnostics to identify a genetic mutation found exclusively in glioma, the most common form of brain cancer.
When treating other forms of cancer, surgeons are able to biopsy tumors to diagnose and monitor the state of the disease. For brain cancers like glioma, however, multiple biopsies can be life threatening. Bob Carter, head of neurosurgery at the University of California, San Diego, says well-preserved RNA in blood and spinal fluid enables researchers to test and monitor for these genetic changes noninvasively.
He says study researchers separate exosomes from bio-fluids with a diagnostic kit and then extract the relevant genomic information. Once the specific cancer mutation is identified, clinicians will periodically draw additional bio-fluids to monitor the mutation levels to determine whether a patient is responding to therapy.
Whereas Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a useful tool, tumors only show up on imaging scans once they are at least one millimeter in diameter and comprise about 100,000 tumor cells. By that time, it may be too late for an early intervention. On the flip side, MRIs can also yield false positives. Hochberg says individuals who have been treated with conventional radiation therapy often have benign residual tissue from dying tumor cells that have been killed by the treatment but which the body has not yet eliminated. This tissue is often mistaken for tumor growth on a MRI scan. "You would identify to the patient that the drug is not working when in reality it is doing well," Hochberg says. "On the other hand, having an easily accessible biomarker for glioma would give you a clear response."
There are 18 U.S. hospitals participating in the clinical trial, sponsored by the Accelerated Brain Cancer Cure Foundation. Hochberg says study researchers have recruited 41 of 120 patients so far. Preliminary results will be presented in April at the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles Symposium in Boston.
From a technical standpoint I don't believe there is a barrier," Carter says. "This test can certainly be used now, what we are trying to finalize is the sensitivity and specificity of the test."
Exosomes may be a reliable method of screening for prostate cancer as well. A PSA test is currently the most common, noninvasive means to screen for prostate cancer in the U.S. PSA testing measures for elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced by the prostate gland that is used to liquefy semen in men.
The higher a man's PSA level, the more likely it is that he has prostate cancer, says James McKiernan, director of urologic oncology at Columbia University Medical Center. There are additional reasons, however, for high PSA levels-and some men with prostate cancer do not always have elevated PSA, he added. In addition, for many cases of prostate cancer, new research published in May 2012 in The New England Journal of Medicine shows that treatment does not actually extend the life of the patient. Click here for more details.
In conclusion, if the above diagnostic method for cancer is validated, then it becomes really clear that diagnosing cases like prostate cancer would become less painful and non-life threatening.
Already, many patients are overwhelmed with the rigors and frustrations of having to go for biopsies.
The application Exosomes could be dependable and replace the now controversial Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test.

BAR Council chair Peter Goldsmith QC outlined a dual role for the Bar of asserting itself in the debate over changes to the justice system while adapting to the threat of professional competition.
Speaking at the Bar's AGM about proposed changes to the system, he singled out the Lord Chancellor's legal aid Green Paper and Lord Woolf's package on civil justice reform as needing "the most important areas of debate outside our own agenda".
"We are deeply concerned about both the principles and detail of the legal aid proposals which the Lord Chancellor is putting forward. They are of enormous significance to the future of the system of justice…and of enormous importance to the Bar."
He announced an open meeting on 4 July to debate the Green Paper and to feed barristers' views into the Bar Council response.
Both Lord Mackay and a Labour Party representative will attend.
On direct access, Goldsmith confirmed that talks had taken place with the Lord Chancellor's Department over Bar proposals for instructions in legal aid cases from the Citizens' Advice Bureau. Sources indicate the LCD is showing strong interest in the proposals.
On education, Goldsmith said the Bar Council would next year take over the regulatory role currently shared with the Inns through the Council of Legal Education.
On the threat of professional competition it was taking "real and concrete action" to "help the Bar compete and thrive".
Bar treasurer Michael Blair and chief executive Niall Morison warned delegates that extra costs of developments and initiatives were squeezing resources and that the Bar Council's current staff of 44 would need to be expanded.

Here we go!
I'm not sure how active this board is but I sure need some support.
Hubby and I have been married four months and the last month has been HELL. So many issues with his father I don't know where to start.
We were married under the impression that we would receive a majority share in the family business this month. Imagine how we felt when we found out that he only got 37% ownership with no control for six years! I've been crying for days because when we started out we knew how controlling and tyrannical the father was and we thought we would be through with it in a matter of months. Now we literally have to live under this crazy man's thumb for the next six years.
My husband has been very emotionally abused by his father-- never good enough, never smart enough, could never live up to expectations but his father never told him what expectations to live up to. The father has turned on me... I was working in the family business but the old man started screaming and yelling at me, right in my face over simple mistakes. He was reaching out and putting his hand on me and yelling at the same time. I left that day and I have not been back to work since. I really thought I was going to lose it and hit him! You don't just get in a persons face and yell at them and put your hands on them!
I just read through this and I realize it is all over the place. Hopefully I can find some friends, support, and advice here. It is hard not to fight with hubby over all this. I love him and he is so wonderful. I never thought this would be the first months of our marriage, though!
Tell me your worst inlaw horror story and hopefully we can commiserate together.
Re: Here we go!
I am very sorry for all you are going through. Perhaps your husband can find a job elsewhere and walk away from this business. (((hugs))))
Re: Here we go!
I'm very sorry that you and your DH are having problems with his father. My DH and I have been married less than a year, and I've never had a problem with his mom, but his dad is a completely different story. I try to avoid him as much as possible. He usually manages to say something completely unpleasant and out of line.
Re: Here we go!
We got through Easter dinner, so that is fine. Neither his mother or his father spoke a word to me, so it was pretty awkward. But at least no verbal attacks.
I haven't seen them since. I know MIL was supposed to retire when we got married and had four months of freedom and now she has gone back to working full time at the age of 70. I feel so, so guilty but how am I supposed to manage working 7 days a week under such hostile conditions?
DH's is very supportive of me going back to work in my last position and I know in this economy I am lucky to have a fallback job that pays well. So, I'm looking on the bright side for now.
Re: Here we go!
Ugh!!! It is so ridiculous for people to think that just because you are part of the family they can use and abuse you. What kind of business is it??

ParagonX9 - No. 5 (NG Edit)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
If you go to newgrounds.wikia it states that Paragonx9 is a man, although the profile indicates otherwise. Pictures thought to be of Paragonx9 are apparently of his girlfriend.
Regardless, great song. I listen to this on loop when I need to study. The sound at the middle of the 17th second seems a bit overused in songs, but then again you made this in 2006. If it had a "fuller" sound I would have given it the 10th star.
Song of Storms Remix [mod15]
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Really good potential but...
There's that stupid beat that starts at 0:26. Now it only becomes a problem at the end of 0:41 when it starts to get irregular. Then it feels like a woodpecker is trying to get in through my headphones.
Honestly if you made with without that beat (or stopped the beat in question at 0:42, or make it not so damn annoying) I would give this a 9/10. I would really like to see you take another whack at this song. I imagine removing it would be the easiest for you if you have other projects you're working on... Hope to see more!
PS: i'd donate but i'm a student and thus so poor I have negative money.
I wish I could remove it.
Like, seriously. It just won't let me. Because it has over 3000 views/listens. But I reeeaaalllllllyyy want to get rid of it.
I may eventually take another crack at it, but not right now. I've got a bigger project at the moment.
And I completely understand the negative money part. I'm a high school student.
On another note, if I do ever take another try, I'll send you a PM about it.
Mary Zop - Mike Sever
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Reminds me of...
Reminds me of trans Siberian orchestra. Would have been nice to hear something longer (but isn't that always the case?). You made this back in '08 so i'm doubting you'll remake this. It has a very interesting sound to it and I like it, good job!
8-bit Countdown
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Great but...
At around 22 seconds in I start to hear a faint ringing noise in the background which is annoying. It only appears at higher notes so it might be my speakers but I don't seem to have this issue with any of your other songs and its consistent with all 3 earphone sets I used. If it wasn't for this i'd have it on a loop for hours at a time. Love to hear this song with this minor issue fixed. Your stuff is always great!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I really like this... you should work to make a version with more "depth" (get more than one set of beats going on)
Thanks for your input! It takes a while for me to have enough time to remake a song though...
Sorrow - John Sercu
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Good... could be better
But it always sounds like you're putting too much force when you hit the keys (if you were to play on a piano)... What the left hand would be playing sounds especially heavy.
In my opinion this would sound better if you varied, its good to have hard sounding notes but when you use an instrument like a piano you want to explore softer tones too.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I liked it all except the "intrument" you used for the tetris base sounded annoying after about 5 seconds.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I'm reviewing on the assumption that the intent is supposed to be chaotical. I think there some cool aspects but alot more you could have done.

|McKee Jungle Gardens
(Flickr user Rain0975/CC)
In 1929, Waldo Sexton and Arthur G. McKee purchased an 80-acre hammock along the Indian River. They had intended to plant orange groves, but were so impressed by the natural beauty of the existing stands of live oak, cabbage palm, and pine that they decided to take a different route with the land.
The partners hired tropical landscape architect William Lyman Phillips to design trails, streams and ponds through the property. Plants were brought in from around the world. Indeed a notable feature of the gardens were important collections of orchids and water lilies. They also brought in monkeys birds and animals from around the world to add to the jungle environment.
The attraction opened in 1932 to tourists as The McKee Jungle Gardens. The Florida Society of Horticultural Sciences noted in their 1935 newsletter:
Somber, winding vistas of Nature's cathedral aisles; massive columns of lofty oaks and native palms entwined with clinging vines and garlanded with moss and epiphytes; bright sunlight filtering down through in arched tree tops forming an ever shifting filigree pattern of lights and shadows on forest floor; dark pools where variegated water lilies raise their heads above green masses of lily pads; disintegrating, prostrate trunks of forest monarchs-mute evidence of departed grandeur; solitude and stillness, broken only by faint sound of rippling water and occasional note from feathered choir o'erhead; the forest primeval, preserved unspoi1ed from the devastating hand of man; a quiet eddy, as it were, close by the mad, onrushing traffic stream, where one may relax from nervous tension and find composure and rest in Nature's sanctuary.

The TC Palm describes a few of Sextons architectural creations:
In 1940, Sexton built his two-story Hall of Giants, built around the world's largest mahogany table. He drew his building plans in the dirt and his friends and sons helped build it. His other Vero Beach landmarks were designed the same way — the Ocean Grill, the Patio and the Driftwood.
His Spanish Kitchen was designed after one Sexton saw in Mexico. On weekends, he'd cook 100 steaks at a time, with swamp cabbage and potatoes cooked in rosin.

Much of the land was sold to developers who built a condominium development and golf course. But 18 acres of the old property were not razed for the construction. They just sat idle...for almost 20 years.
The Indian River Land Trust purchased the 18 remaining acres in 1995. Work was begun to restore the area to its former glory as in the days when the tourists would flood in as stop on the road to Miami.
Original plans were consulted. Plants were replanted, trails cleared, and other landscaping was done. The long looted and half decayed buildings on the property were restored. A gift shop, restaurant, and visitor center were added.
In 2001, the parks was reopened as the McKee Botanical Gardens. It is listed as both a Florida Landmark and a National Historic landmark and has returned to its status as a great Florida roadside attraction.

This weeks trip to the Jungle gardens is perfectly suited for an exotica duel between legends of the tropical lounge sound, Martin Denny and Les Baxter both perform their interpretations of the exotica classic, Jungle Flower.
An old time calypso number follows from calypsonian Wilmoth Houdini. Monkey Swing makes our list in tribute to the monkeys that were a featured part of the McKee Jungle Gardens experience.
Michael Hurley follows. Michael Hurley is an Oregonian who has deep connections to the Holy Modal Rounders, Les Clamtones,and the Freak Mountain Ramblers. His The Monkey Song is on his out of print vinyl album Land of Lo-Fi available in the amazon store link for this post.
Diana Krall slows things down with her romantic garden visit, Garden In The Rain from her album Love Scenes.From there we take a classical folk turn with In the Garden a track from the album Uncommon Ritual by Edgar Meyer, Bela Fleck and Mike Marshall.
You probably have never heard of the last track, but you may have heard the story behind it. The song is Growin In The Garden by Jacobs Ladder. It came with a book titled The Far Out Story Of Vortex I .
The book tels the story of a music festival that was approved an encouraged by Oregon Governor Tom McCall as a diversion for young people who might otherwise protest against the Vietnam War at an American Legion convention being held in Portland that summer. Hippies were pulled over by police and state troopers and invited to attend the party being hosted by the state in the woods outside Portland. The event was a legendary, unorthodox Oregonian success story.
Jacobs Ladder was a headline act that festival in Oregon in 1971 called Vortex 1. We close this weeks playlist with Growin In The Garden, probably not a song about growing waterlilies and orchids.

Paced by a stellar defensive effort which held Fontainebleau High School without a field goal in the first half, Mandeville defeated the Bulldogs 26-17 in girls District 6-5A action on Friday night in Mandeville.
Mandeville (12-7, 2-2) was led by Jaz Menina's game-high nine points. Madison Futrell, Elise Reilly and Jannah Boudreaux each had four points and Janeica Menina and Shantel Short combined for four points in the win.
"Our defense kept us in the game even though we struggled so much offensively," Reilly said. "It was really the difference in the game. We were able to stop them when we needed to the most and it helped us pick up the win.
"When you don't hit shots, you have to keep yourself motivated and your head in the game. Our defensive effort did that for us tonight."
Fontainebleau (16-5, 3-1) was led by Kayla Torregano with seven points. Southeastern Louisiana signee Jaclyn Scholvin had seven points while her sister, Jenna Scholvin, added three.
Breaking out to a quick 8-2 lead on baskets from Jaz Menina, Reilly and Futrell, the Skippers held an 8-6 lead after the first eight minutes.
The lead grew to 15-7 in the second quarter on a 3-pointer from Jaz Menina with 32.3 seconds left in the half.
The Skippers defense once again paced the effort, holding Fontainebleau to a single point — a Jenna Scholvin free throw.
"Fontainebleau is a good team, and we were fortunate to come out victorious tonight," Skippers coach Melissa Weinmunson said. "They did a good job slowing the game down and limiting the possessions for both squads. It really put extra stress on us to be efficient with every possession we had on the floor.
"Thank goodness early on we pushed the ball down the floor and got some early transitional buckets."
A basket by Jenna Scholvin with 4:53 to go in the fourth quarter cut the Mandeville lead to 19-17, but that was the last points for the Bulldogs as Mandeville finished the game on a 7-0 run.
Reilly said now that now that the Skippers are fully healthy, she expects big things the rest of the season.
"Now is the time to kick it into high gear," she said. "Coach Weinmunson told us before this game that a victory tonight could ignite us on a run. Hopefully this is the start of good things to come because this team needs to get into the playoffs.
"We need to make the postseason."
Weinmunson echoed Reilly's comments.
"Having so many injuries early on has allowed us to really build quality depth, which will hopefully help us as the season progresses," she said. "This was a really big win for us because we have been trying to find a rhythm. We needed a win on the road against a quality team and we were able to do that tonight."
