Northampton Ends with Hamlet Before Year Closure
Editorial Staff • West End • 10 Feb 2005
The Northampton production of Hamlet will star Tobias Menzies (pictured – whose other credits include Complicite's Light, Sergeant Musgrave's Dance and Michael Blakemore's Three Sisters) as the Prince of Denmark with Jane Birkin (star of over 60 films and infamous for the song "Je T'Aime" recorded with her partner, Serge Gainsbourg) making a rare stage appearance as his mother Gertrude. The cast also features Paul Shelley (as Polonius), Hilton McRae (Claudius), David Ganly (Horatio) and Poppy Miller as Ophelia.
Hamlet follows Goold's 2003 staging of Shakespeare's Othello. Other acclaimed Royal productions in recent years have included Paradise Lost and Arcadia (which also featured Menzies). Elsewhere, Goold's credits have included Sunday Father and the Whatsonstage.com Award-winning Scaramouche Jones, starring Pete Postlethwaite.
Hamlet is designed by Laura Hopkins and has original music composed by Adam Cork. It runs from 17 March to 3 April 2005, when the theatre will hold a special final performance to mark the closure.
The Royal's current in-house production is a revival of Tom Stoppard's multi award-winning 1982 comedy The Real Thing, which continues its limited season until 26 February 2005. Directed by Gareth Machin, it stars Matthew Lloyd Davies as Henry , the smartest, sharpest and most wickedly witty playwright of his generation. But writing about betrayal is one thing - living with it is another. When Henry starts to blur the boundaries of life and art, his relationships with the women in his life get rather sticky.
Visiting productions during the Royal's brief spring 2005 season next month are Kathy Burke's Sheffield Theatres' revival of Joe Penhall's Blue/Orange and the Eclipse Theatre premiere of Roy Williams' Little Sweet Thing.
Over in the twinned Derngate Theatre, the schedule of visiting productions includes kids shows Scooby Doo's Stagefright, the Chuckle Brothers and Postman Pat, as well as the Russian State Ballet, Marie Jones' Stones in his Pockets and Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I.
Both theatres close in April 2005 for a 14 month redevelopment and are due to reopen in late summer 2006.

My server is comprised of three major components - node.js + express + mongojs. Right now I am looking for a way to plug in server side validation of the client input. Mongoose offers it through its Schema definitions, however, I would like the validation to be independent of the particular DB layer.
Ideally, I am looking for something supporting declarative validation rules (again, like the mongoose schemas), but without any coupling with mongo.
Any ideas?
I am mentioning Express, because my intention is to plug the validation layer as an Express middleware. This should work, shouldn't it?
An extra bonus, if the same javascript code can be utilized on the client side as well.

This communication presents a novel design of a compact microstrip antenna practical for both the global positioning system (GPS) and digital communication system (DCS). The proposed antenna consists of two parts: a fundamental mode truncated square patch antenna and a higher-order mode annular ring patch antenna. The truncated square patch operated in right-hand circular polarization at 1575 MHz with 8-MHz CP bandwidth, making the design suitable for the GPS. Further, four slots were embedded into a ground plane to meander the current path of the annular ring patch at the TM21 mode, which considerably lowered the resonant frequency and effectively increased the impedance bandwidth. These features reduce the antenna size and make the design appropriate for DCS. Both radiators are placed in a common space but operate independently. The experimental results show that this design is ideally suited for GPS/DCS dual-band mobile communications.

I love it! You can't tell from the photo but the girl on the front is cut out and stitched on to the shirt and then the lettering is screen printed on top. It says "Let the good times roll" and it wraps around onto the back of the shirt too. I love how it fits, and the v-neck isn't too low cut.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Two Tucson-area Girl Scout troops were crime victims as thieves grabbed and ran off with the troops' cash boxes from cookie sales.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that both thefts took place over the weekend.
In one case, two women spoke with girls selling cookies outside a grocery store before one of the women grabbed the cash box containing about $375. The women fled in a car that had its license plate covered.

Warren Buffett is the face of the company and Charlie Munger stays mainly in the shadows.
That works well for the two billionaires, who together have developed one of the most successful investment records ever.
But while Mr. Munger downplays his own contributions - he is known for repeating "I have nothing to add" after Mr. Buffett's expansive comments at the Berkshire shareholder meetings - his role is key to much of the company's success.
Mr. Buffett himself credits Mr. Munger with pushing him beyond his early investing strategies and says the two men have never had an argument - even though they occasionally disagree.
Mr. Munger's influence as vice chairman of Berkshire is considerable, but mostly private.
"He strikes me as somebody who is just a very good sounding board for Warren," said Morningstar analyst Justin Fuller.
Berkshire's board has a plan in place to select a new management team for the time when Mr. Buffett and Mr. Munger are gone, but whoever takes over the company will have a hard time matching their success and synchronicity.
Mr. Munger answers questions alongside Mr. Buffett for hours each May at the Berkshire shareholders meeting in Omaha, Neb., and again on his own at the annual meeting in California of Wesco Financial Corp., a Berkshire subsidiary that he leads.
Mr. Buffett sometimes relies on Mr. Munger to repeat questions because his hearing is better. After one shareholder asked a lengthy question this year about how Mr. Buffett got started investing and what mindset an investor should have, Mr. Buffett turned to Mr. Munger for help.
So Mr. Munger summed it up: "He wants you to instruct him how to become less like a lemming."
When Mr. Munger does weigh in, he often cuts through Mr. Buffett's longer answer to its heart. And sometimes he critiques Mr. Buffett's response.
"Well, that was real useful advice," Mr. Munger said this year after Mr. Buffett answered a question about choosing good managers by saying Berkshire buys businesses with strong management teams in place. Then he compared that to saying the best way to get through lean times is to keep a couple million dollars lying around.
He can get away with rebuking the world's richest man because they've been friends for nearly 50 years.
Mr. Munger, who at 84 is seven years older than Mr. Buffett, grew up in Omaha about five blocks from Mr. Buffett's current home. Both men worked at the grocery store Mr. Buffett's grandfather and uncle ran.
By the time they met at an Omaha dinner party in 1959, Mr. Munger was practicing law in Southern California and Mr. Buffett was running an investment partnership in Omaha.

Article: Effects of Prenatal Leydig Cell Function on the Ratio of the Second to Fourth Digit Lengths in School-Aged Children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Prenatal sex hormones can induce abnormalities in the reproductive system and adversely impact on genital development. We investigated whether sex hormones in cord blood influenced the ratio of the second to fourth digit lengths (2D/4D) in school-aged children. Of the 514 children who participated in a prospective cohort study on birth in Sapporo between 2002 and 2005, the following sex hormone levels were measured in 294 stored cord blood samples (135 boys and 159 girls); testosterone (T), estradiol (E), progesterone, LH, FSH, inhibin B, and insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3). A total of 350 children, who were of school age and could be contacted for this survey, were then requested via mail to send black-and-white photocopies of the palms of both the left and right hands. 2D/4D was calculated in 190 children (88 boys and 102 girls) using photocopies and derived from participants with the characteristics of older mothers, a higher annual household income, higher educational level, and fewer smokers among family members. 2D/4D was significantly lower in males than in females (p<0.01). In the 294 stored cord blood samples, T, T/E, LH, FSH, Inhibin B, and INSL3 levels were significantly higher in samples collected from males than those from females. A multivariate regression model revealed that 2D/4D negatively correlated with INSL3 in males and was significantly higher in males with <0.32 ng/mL of INSL3 (p<0.01). No correlations were observed between other hormones and 2D/4D. In conclusion, 2D/4D in school-aged children, which was significantly lower in males than in females, was affected by prenatal Leydig cell function.PLoS ONE 03/2015; 10(3):e0120636.

Article: Brain-bladder control network: The unsolved 21st century urological mystery: Brain-bladder control network[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A review of functional brain imaging studies of bladder control in participants with normal control and pathological conditions. In the normal condition, bladder and urethral afferents received in the periaqueductal gray relay the information to the insula, the anterior cingulate cortex and the prefrontal cortex. During the storage phase, these superior regions control the pontine micturition center to inhibit voiding. In overactive bladder patients, brain responses are different. Cortical responses become exaggerated, especially in the anterior cingulate cortex and the supplementary motor area. That is what presumably evokes the "urgency". The supplementary motor area is activated during contraction of the pelvic floor muscles, and provides protection against incontinence. We believe that functional brain imaging studies are promising not only for the understanding of bladder dysfunction, but also as an aid to the development of therapeutic options for chronic disorders. © 2015 The Japanese Urological Association.International Journal of Urology 02/2015; 22(4).

Article: Molecular basis of non-syndromic hypospadias: systematic mutation screening and genome-wide copy-number analysis of 62 patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: What percentage of cases with non-syndromic hypospadias can be ascribed to mutations in known causative/candidate/susceptibility genes or submicroscopic copy-number variations (CNVs) in the genome? Monogenic and digenic mutations in known causative genes and cryptic CNVs account for >10% of cases with non-syndromic hypospadias. While known susceptibility polymorphisms appear to play a minor role in the development of this condition, further studies are required to validate this observation. Fifteen causative, three candidate, and 14 susceptible genes, and a few submicroscopic CNVs have been implicated in non-syndromic hypospadias. Systematic mutation screening and genome-wide copy-number analysis of 62 patients. The study group consisted of 57 Japanese and five Vietnamese patients with non-syndromic hypospadias. Systematic mutation screening was performed for 25 known causative/candidate/susceptibility genes using a next-generation sequencer. Functional consequences of nucleotide alterations were assessed by in silico assays. The frequencies of polymorphisms in the patient group were compared with those in the male general population. CNVs were analyzed by array-based comparative genomic hybridization and characterized by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Seven of 62 patients with anterior or posterior hypospadias carried putative pathogenic mutations, such as hemizygous mutations in AR, a heterozygous mutation in BNC2, and homozygous mutations in SRD5A2 and HSD3B2. Two of the seven patients had mutations in multiple genes. We did not find any rare polymorphisms that were abundant specifically in the patient group. One patient carried mosaic dicentric Y chromosome. The patient group consisted solely of Japanese and Vietnamese individuals and clinical and hormonal information of the patients remained rather fragmentary. In addition, mutation analysis focused on protein-altering substitutions. Our data provide evidence that pathogenic mutations can underlie both mild and severe hypospadias and that HSD3B2 mutations cause non-syndromic hypospadias as a sole clinical manifestation. Most importantly, this is the first report documenting possible oligogenicity of non-syndromic hypospadias. This study was funded by the Grant-in-Aid from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology; by the Grant-in-Aid from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science; by the Grants from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, from the National Center for Child Health and Development and from the Takeda Foundation.

Article: The inflammatory cytokine IL-1β is involved in bladder remodeling after bladder outlet obstruction in mice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: AimsWe investigated the relationship between IL-1β and morphological and functional changes following partial bladder outlet obstruction (pBOO).Methods Female wild-type C57/BL6 mice (WT) and IL-1β-/- mice (KO) were used. Animals were sacrificed either 1 or 3 weeks after pBOO or sham surgery, and their bladders were harvested to determine bladder weight, for RT-PCR to measure interleukin-1β (IL-1β), insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) levels, and for histological analysis with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining. Cystometry was performed on conscious animals 3 weeks after surgery to evaluate urodynamic parameters. IGF-1 was also administered intraperitoneally to KO with pBOO, and bladder weight was then investigated.ResultsIL-1β-mRNA levels were significantly higher in WT-pBOO than in WT-sham. IGF-1-mRNA and TGF-β-mRNA levels were also significantly higher in WT-pBOO than in WT-sham; however, these increases were smaller in KO-pBOO than in WT-pBOO. Bladder weight was significantly higher in WT-pBOO than in WT-sham, while increases in bladder weight were significantly suppressed in KO-pBOO. HE staining revealed the thickened bladder wall in WT-pBOO, and this phenomenon was less in KO-pBOO than in WT-pBOO. Regarding the urodynamic parameters examined, micturition pressure and bladder capacity were significantly higher in WT-pBOO than in WT-sham, but remained unchanged in KO-pBOO. The administration of IGF-1 to KO-pBOO led to similar increases in bladder weight and the thickened bladder wall as those observed in WT-pBOO.ConclusionIL-1β has the potential to induce bladder remodeling and deteriorate urodynamic parameters in pBOO.

Article: Supraspinal Projection of Serotonergic and Noradrenergic Pathways Modulates Nociceptive Transmission in the Lower Urinary Tract of Rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives To investigate the effect of descending serotonergic and noradrenergic pathways on nociception in the lower urinary tract (LUT).Methods Female Sprague–Dawley rats were used. Following intraperitoneal administration of Vehicle or Milnacipran (30 mg/kg), which is one of serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), 0.1% AA was infused into the bladder in normal (n = 4, each) and spinal cord injury (SCI) (n = 4, each) rats for 2 h on consciousness, and c-Fos, 5-HT and DβH were stained using immunohistochemistry at the L6 spinal cord as spinal areas associated with LUT.ResultsIn SCI rats, 5-HT or DβH-positive fibers were not observed at the L6 spinal cord, while there were many 5-HT and DβH-positive fibers in normal rats. The total number of c-Fos-positive cells was significantly increased in SCI rats compared to Normal rats (209.4 ± 7.1 in Normal, 336.4 ± 28.9 in SCI, P < 0.05), which indicated that interruption of supraspinal modulation enhances nocieptive transmission in the LUT. Regarding the effect of Milnacipran administration, the number of c-Fos-positive cells was significantly decreased at all region of the L6 spinal cord in normal rats (P < 0.05), while this reduction was not observed in SCI rats. This result demonstrated that administration of SNRI attenuates nocieptive transmission in the LUT, indicating that 5-HT and noradrenaline work as mediators of endogenous analgesic mechanisms through the supraspinal descending pain pathways.Conclusions Supraspinal projections of descending serotonergic and noradrenergic pathways to the lower lumbar spinal cord modulate nocieptive transmission in the LUT. Administration of SNRI attenuates nocieptive transmission in the LUT, which could result from enhancement of modulating descending serotonergic and noradrenergic pathways.Lower urinary tract symptoms 01/2015; 189(4).

Article: Postoperative detrusor contractility temporarily decreases in patients undergoing pelvic organ prolapse surgery[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives To assess the postoperative lower urinary tract function in patients undergoing pelvic organ prolapse surgery.MethodsA total of 24 women with advanced anterior vaginal wall prolapse underwent transvaginal repair using a polypropylene mesh. The preoperative, 1-week and 3-month postoperative evaluations were carried out by urodynamics. Maximal flow rate detrusor pressure at maximal flow rate, voided volume and bladder contractility index were measured. A value of P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.ResultsThe mean age of patients was 73.5 years (range 49–84 years). The mean postoperative maximal flow rate, voiding efficiency and bladder contractility index decreased significantly after the operation compared with the preoperative values (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed between preoperative and 3-month postoperative parameters. Of the patients, 33.3%, 11.1% and 50% were classified as having normal/strong contractility preoperative, 1 week and 3 months, respectively. The proportion of normal/strong contractility decreased significantly after the operation, and it recovered 3 months postoperatively. The grade of obstruction did not change significantly.Conclusions Patients undergoing pelvic organ prolapse surgery present temporary impaired detrusor contractility, which improves significantly during the midterm postoperative period.International Journal of Urology 11/2014; 189(4).

Article: Impact of laparoscopy for diagnosis and treatment in patients with disorders of sex development[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective To review laparoscopy in patients with disorders of sex development (DSD) in order to clarify its usefulness in diagnosis, devising subsequent therapeutic strategies and managing patients with various conditions. Patients and Methods Between April 1992 and December 2012, 29 laparoscopic surgeries were performed in 25 DSD patients. Among them, ten were diagnostic laparoscopy including gonadal biopsy, and 19 were therapeutic laparoscopy. Surgical procedures and complications were evaluated. Results For diagnostic laparoscopy, laparoscopic gonadal biopsy was performed in three patients. Inspection, with or without open gonadal biopsy, was performed on four out of seven patients with 46XY DSD or mixed gonadal dysgenesis (MGD). Additional surgery was planned and performed based on diagnostic laparoscopic findings in six out of seven patients. In the three patients with ovotesticular DSD, the gonadal pathology was diagnosed as: testis/ovary in one, testis/ovotestis in one and ovary/ovotestis in one – this was from the laparoscopic inspection and gonadal biopsy. However, the final diagnoses were bilateral ovotestis in two patients and ovary/ovotestis in one patient. For therapeutic laparoscopy, surgical procedures were: gonadectomy in 17 patients (bilateral in 13, unilateral in three, partial in two); hysterectomy in two patients; orchiopexy in one; and sigmoid vaginoplasty in one patient (included multiple procedures). There were no severe perioperative complications. In the four patients with a history of diagnostic laparoscopy, no severe intra-abdominal adhesions that would disturb therapeutic laparoscopic surgery were observed. Conclusion While diagnostic laparoscopy was helpful in devising a therapeutic surgical strategy in most of the patients with DSD who were suspected as having complex gonadal status or Müllerian duct derivatives, attention must be paid to precisely diagnosing the gonadal status in ovotesticular DSD. On the other hand, therapeutic laparoscopic surgeries were valuable procedures in treating DSD patients, even with a history of previous diagnostic laparoscopy.Journal of pediatric urology 10/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.jpurol.2014.03.006 · 1.41 Impact Factor

Article: Contribution of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells to the morphological changes in the bladder after partial outlet obstruction: A preliminary study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the contribution of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells to the changes in bladder morphology in response to partial bladder outlet obstruction. Allogenic bone marrow cells were transplanted from transgenic rats expressing green fluorescent protein into female Sprague-Dawley rats 1 day after their bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells had been destroyed by irradiation. This generated chimeric rats in which green fluorescent protein labeled bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells replaced host bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The animals received partial bladder outlet obstruction or sham surgery 6 weeks later. The animals were killed 6 weeks after the surgery, and bladder tissue was prepared for immunofluorescence with antibodies against a urothelium marker (AE1/AE3), a myofibroblast marker (vimentin), a smooth muscle marker and green fluorescent protein. More labeled bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were found in the partial bladder outlet obstruction group than in the in the sham group. Most bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were present around the basement membrane (laminin) and lamina propria below the urothelium. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were also found in the urothelium layer, and some of them were double-stained with green fluorescent protein and AE1/AE3. Some bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, which were located in the interstitial tissue, were double-stained with green fluorescent protein and vimentin. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, which migrated into the smooth muscle layer, showed fusiform morphology, and some were double-stained with green fluorescent protein and smooth muscle marker. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells home to the partial bladder outlet obstruction bladder, and these cells have the potential to differentiate into the several components of bladder tissue including the urothelium, myofibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. Thus, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells contribute to the morphological changes of the bladder in response to partial bladder outlet obstruction.International Journal of Urology 03/2014; 21(7).

Article: Preoperative renal scar as a risk factor of postoperative metabolic acidosis following ileocystoplasty in patients with neurogenic bladder[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives:We investigated relation of preoperative renal scar to incidence of postoperative metabolic acidosis following ileocystoplasty in patients with neurogenic bladder.Patients:Thirty patients with neurogenic bladder, who underwent ileocystoplasty, were enrolled in the present study. Median age at ileocystoplasty was 13.9 years and median follow-up period after ileocystoplasty was 8.2 years. Metabolic acidosis was defined based on the outlined criteria: base excess (BE) is less than 0 mmol l(-1). Preoperative examination revealed that no apparent renal insufficiency was identified in blood analysis, although preoperative (99m)Tc-DMSA scintigraphy indicated abnormalities such as renal scar in 14 patients (47%). Incidence of postoperative metabolic acidosis was compared between patients with and without preoperative renal scar, which may reflect some extent of renal tubular damage.Results:Postoperative metabolic acidosis was identified in 13 patients (43%). Incidence of postoperative metabolic acidosis was significantly higher in patients with renal scar (11/14, 79%) compared with patients without renal scar (2/16, 13%; P<0.01). Particularly, all eight patients who had bilateral renal scars showed metabolic acidosis postoperatively. Compared with patients without preoperative renal scar, pH (P<0.05) and BE (P<0.01) were significantly lower postoperatively in patients with preoperative renal scar. However, there was no significant difference in PCO2. Hyperchloremia was observed in each patient with or without preoperative renal scar.Conclusion:Incidence of postoperative metabolic acidosis was significantly implicated in preoperative renal scar. If renal abnormalities are preoperatively identified in imaging tests, we need to care patients carefully regarding metabolic acidosis and subsequent comorbidities following ileocystoplasty.Spinal Cord advance online publication, 28 January 2014; doi:10.1038/sc.2013.175.Spinal Cord 01/2014; 52(4).

Article: Stromal Cell-Derived Factor 1α Induces Accumulation of Intraveneously Administered Marrow-Derived Stromal Cells in the Partially Obstructed Rat Bladder[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives: We investigated the time course of the stromal cell-derived factor 1α (SDF1α) expression and behavior of intravenously administered bone marrow-derived stromal (BMS) cells in the urinary bladder of partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO) rats. Methods: Study 1: Recombinant SDF1α or saline was directly injected into the bladder wall of female rats followed by intravenous administration of BMS cells isolated from green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic rats. The bladder was examined with immunohistochemistry to determine whether SDF1α would enhance migration of BMS cells to the bladder. Study 2: Following surgery of PBOO or sham in female rats, bladders were removed on days 1–14, and expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) and SDF1α were examined with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determine if PBOO preferentially increased their expression. Study 3: Female rats underwent PBOO or sham surgery followed by intravenous administration of GFP-positive BMS cells. Bladders were examined with immunohistochemistry on days 1–14 to determine whether BMS cells preferentially accumulated in the bladder. Results: BMS cells were accumulated in the injection site of SDF1α but not saline in the bladder. SDF1α and HIF1α increased at day 1 after PBOO compared to sham. More BMS cells accumulated in the bladder of PBOO on day 1, and some BMS cells expressed smooth muscle phenotypes by day 14. Conclusion: SDF1α induced with ischemia/hypoxia due to PBOO is implicated in the accumulation of BMS cells in the bladder and regeneration of the bladder for PBOO.Lower urinary tract symptoms 09/2012; 4(3).

Article: Changes in Urodynamics and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms after Radical Prostatectomy: Implications of Preoperative Detrusor Contractility[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives: Our goal was to identify changes in urodynamic parameters and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men followed for1 year after radical prostatectomy (RP) compared to the preoperative measures with a specific focus on detrusor contractility.Methods: This study enrolled 43 patients who received RP (laparoscopic 27, retropubic: 16) and pressure flow studies (PFS) pre-RP as well as 12 months (M) after RP. No patients complained of urinary incontinence preoperatively. Urodynamic studies and questionnaires regarding LUTS and urinary continence were conducted before and 12 M after RP. Detrusor underactivity (DU) was defined as <10 (W/m2) in preoperative maximum watts factor value.Results: Urodynamics demonstrated that RP improved urodynamic parameters by releasing bladder outlet obstruction without affecting overall detrusor contractility. Meanwhile, RP did not affect bladder capacity, bladder compliance, or detrusor contractility. LUTS in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), including the IPSS subscore, was not improved. The quality of life score was significantly better at 12 M after RP and continence rates were gradually improved to be at a satisfactory level in more than 80% of patients by 12 M after RP. DU was preoperatively identified in 21(49%) patients, influencing urodynamic parameters and LUTS preoperatively. However, DU did not affect urodynamic parameters and LUTS after RP.Conclusion: Although RP improves urodynamic parameters, it does not significantly affect LUTS. Urinary continence gradually improves and is satisfactory within 1 year after RP. The status of preoperative detrusor contractility did not affect urodynamic parameters or LUTS after RP.Lower urinary tract symptoms 05/2012; 4(2).

Minimal is short for minimal techno but also for minimalist music. This genre can be considered originally American and consists of experimental or downtown music named in the 1960s based mostly in consonant harmony, steady pulse (if not immobile drones), stasis and slow transformation, and often reiteration of musical phrases or smaller units such as figures, motifs, and cells. Starting in the early 1960s as a scruffy underground scene in San Francisco alternative spaces and New York lofts, minimalism spread to become the most popular experimental music style of the late 20th century.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Apps are coming in a big way to your Internet-connected television, or Smart TV, pretty soon. And Boxpay will be there to help you buy them. It will do so by setting up a way for you to make purchases on your smartphone touchscreen and billing it through your phone carrier. The idea is to use the convenience of paying via mobile phones to lower the friction that gets in the way of Smart TV app purchases. Buying apps on Smart TVs is still a nascent activity, but it is expected to grow as hundreds of millions of Smart TVs are sold each year. Boxpay showed its system off at the Casual Connect game conference in Seattle this week. Boxpay's software development kit (SDK) works with Google's Android operating system, which is becoming more and more popular in Smart TVs. The problem is that registering online to make a purchase is a hassle, and nobody really wants to enter a credit card number into a TV set, particularly when the input device is a remote control. Boxpay gets around that hassle by allowing you to simply type your phone number on your smartphone's touchscreen. Then you can verify and pay for your online purchases or in-app commerce via text message. "It's quick and convenient," said Iain McConnon (pictured right), co-founder of Boxpay, which is based in Dublin, Ireland with offices in San Francisco. "We feel this is the start of something big." Makers of TVs, Smart TV app developers, and Android app creators can integrate the SDK into their systems quickly and easily. This opens the market for Smart TV apps to more consumers, including those who don't have credit cards or won't put up with the hassle of entering their card data. Boxpay customers can make a mobile payment using carrier billing since Boxpay has relationships with 280 carriers in 65 countries. Boxpay is now looking for both Smart TV manufacturers and app developers. "We are still in the early days of Smart TV," Gavin McConnon said. "But the vendors are interested." The McConnon brothers have been around for a dozen years running a ringtone company and direct-to-consumer business in Dublin, Ireland. Two years ago, Iain and his brother Gavin (pictured left) started Boxpay and began working on their mobile payments system. They launched it in January and are now making the SDK widely available. They have 1,500 merchants using the system. Rivals include Zong (part of PayPal) and Boku. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Apr 13, 2011It's a welcome reminder of this band's current status, because one hopes that Do Whatever You Want All the Time isn't an end, but another new beginning.
May 13, 2011It is gleeful and vigorous, full of echoes, pan pipes, samples and shimmering surf guitars. [Jun 2011, p.94]
May 25, 2011Here, they iron it out into something more epic and exploratory. Strange basslines float under guitars that riff on high-life note-picking and fractured, heavy rhythms.
Apr 13, 2011Do Whatever You Want All the Time is a candy-colored descent into madness, one which tames the wildness of the group's previous efforts in the interest of a far more mature style.
Jun 8, 2011Siegel's Yoko Ono-esque vocals may be a hurdle for fussy listeners. but the indie rock scene needs such joyful music. [May 2011, p.86]
Apr 15, 2011Ponytail fans will surely enjoy this relatively formed incarnation of the band's energy.
Apr 13, 2011To truly grasp the vigour of Do Whatever You Want All The Time, do it yourself. Grab four mates, pick up some instruments and go nuts. Just don't cut an album from the sessions.

The Zebras will have to do their best against Bafana Bafana without one of their best players, as the SuperSport United player is unavailableBotswana have suffered a major blow ahead of the 2014 World Cup qualifier against South Africa in Gaborone after Mogogi Gabonamong withdrew from the team.
Gabonamong, a long-time servant of The Zebras, cited family problems as the reason behind his decision to opt out of the match.
The SuperSport United midfielder has since written a letter to the Botswana Football Association explaining his decision.
"We have agreed that I will not be available for the game because I have to attend to family problems," he told BBC Sport.
There have been reports in Botswana suggesting that the former Santos midfielder's decision to turn down the call-up was down to a money dispute involving the players and association since the country, but Gabonamong would not elaborate.

is there a way to check if an object can be fetched by the garbage collector?
Somewhere in my code I've got a reference to an object:
MyObject mo = myObject;
Then, via Eclipse Debugger, I get the objects memory location. Afterwards, I set the reference null:
mo = null;
Is there any way to check if the previously referenced object is now suitable for garbage collection or if there's somewhere another reference to it?
Thanks a lot,

A Geisha's coiffure needs a stiffened pillow;
her loneliness, a bedtime toy.
So if you want to give her joy
stuff this misbegotten armadillo,
present it with a serenade– a wild fandango!
Sin thereafter with abandon! Dance a tango
to sounds of Theramin, Mandolin and Koto–
offer eternal sacrifice to Eros, ex voto.
Your fun spells extinction for the Pangolin?
Anthropocene self-pardoned peccadillo!
At the clamorous insistence of numerous Asiatic kin, Parthian agreed to post this "tribute" to another species facing imminent extinction. He promises to abandon the post of lyrical zookeeper soon, as yet another round of political nonsense makes its mischief felt.

Manu Ginobili SG SA 1 month ago
Ginobili played in his 13th season with the Spurs in 2014-15, averaging 10.5 points, 1.3 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 1.0 steal in 23 minutes.
Ginobili will be a 37-year-old unrestricted free agent this offseason. While he played in more games this season (70) than any other since 2010-11, Ginobili still had to fight through injuries. Last summer, he dealt with a stress fracture in his fibula, and during this season, he sat out some games with back spasms and dealt with a sprained right ankle for a few weeks during March. Before the All-Star break, Ginobili played in 46 games, while after the All-Star break, he only played in 24 games, averaging six less minutes and four less points per contest after the break. This downturn in his production is not necessarily a negative sign because Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is famous for resting his players. What this means is that Ginobili, one of the oldest players in the NBA, should continue to play a meaningful role in the Spurs' rotation next season if he decides to re-sign with the team and continue his NBA career.
Manu Ginobili SG SA 2 months ago
Ginobili posted 14 points, three rebounds, six assists, and one block in 18 minutes of action in Game 5 against the Clippers.
Ginobili played just 18 minutes but was able to contribute solid numbers. He's doing a good job in his bench role, and he'll need to continue playing well for the Spurs to close out the series in Game 6.
Manu Ginobili SG SA 2 months ago
Ginobili logged 22 minutes in Game 2 against the Clippers before fouling out. He posted nine points, two rebounds, three assists, and one block.
Ginobili is an intergral part of the Spurs' offense -- particularly off the bench -- and it's a shame he fouled out Wednesday. He would have had an opportunity to put up more minutes, with Tony Parker ailing throughout the game, but that was not the case. Still, Ginobili figures to be a solid option moving forward.
Manu Ginobili SG SA 3 months ago
Ginobili scored 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 18 minutes off the bench Wednesday.
It was his most productive game since returning to action from an ankle injury on March 24. Ginobili will likely continue to see his court time restricted as the Spurs close out their regular season schedule, as they try to keep him healthy for the playoffs.
Manu Ginobili SG SA 3 months ago
Ginobili (ankle) played 16 minutes Tuesday after missing four games, but was held to just seven points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assist and a steal.
Ginobili has dealt with a variety of injuries this month, only playing in six games so far in March. His performance has been sporadic lately. In his past 10 games, he's scored in the single digits in six of them and is averaging just 3.3 rebounds per game since February.
Manu Ginobili SG SA 3 months ago
Ginobili (ankle) will dress for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Dan McCarney of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Coach Gregg Popovich stopped short of saying Ginobili would play, but given that the Argentinian guard is considered probable, it seems highly unlikely he'd suit up and just sit on the bench. Ginobili's return from a four-game absence will likely cut into the minutes of Danny Green and Marco Belinelli.
Manu Ginobili SG SA 3 months ago
Ginobili (ankle) is considered probable for Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks.
Ginobili's sprained ankle has kept him out for just over a week, but that sideline spell appears destined to come to an end Tuesday. With Ginobili likely to play against the in-state rival Mavericks, Danny Green's minutes may be scaled back slightly, with Marco Belinelli also a candidate for some cut in playing time.
Manu Ginobili SG SA 3 months ago
Ginobili has been officially ruled out for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Dan McCarney of the San Antonio Express News reports.
Ginobili was expected to miss 7-10 days after spraining his ankle on Sunday against Minnesota, so this game against the Hawks would have been on the earlier end of his initial timetable. Danny Green has played 34 or more minutes in the three games that Ginobili has been sidelined. Ginobili's next chance to return will be Tuesday against the Mavericks.
Manu Ginobili SG SA 4 months ago
Ginobili is expected to miss approximately one week to 10 days with a sprained right ankle, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Gregg Popovich made the estimate in the aftermath of Sunday's win over the Timberwolves, after Ginobili had to be helped to the locker room during the third quarter. While it's best not to put too much faith in the initial estimate, Ginobili is clearly expected to miss time. His minutes will likely go to some combination of Danny Green, Marco Belinelli and Patty Mills.
Manu Ginobili SG SA 4 months ago
Ginobili left Sunday's game against Minnesota with an apparent right ankle injury, Mike Monroe of the San Antonio Express-News
Ginobili had to be helped to the locker room, putting no weight on his injured ankle in the process. With the Spurs leading by 30 at the end of three quarters, Ginobili can safely be ruled out for the rest of the game. It sounds as if he may need to miss time beyond Sunday, in which case Danny Green, Marco Belinelli and Patty Mills would all be candidates to pick up some extra minutes. San Antonio's next game is scheduled for Tuesday against the Knicks.

The Boys and Girls Club are trying something a little bit different this year. Normally they have an annual 5k walk and run, their "Race for Reasons" - but this year they thought they'd shake it up a little!
The 24th annual CMA Fest Celebrity Softball game wasn't without competition, but in the end, the cause and a good time were most important things. Florida Georgia Line, Scotty McCreery, Danielle Bradbery, Sara Evans and Jana Kramer were just a few of the stars who stepped up for City of Hope.
