Shadow Economies and Corruption all Over the World: What Do We Really Know?Friedrich SchneiderJohannes Kepler University Linz - Department of Economics; CESifo (Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute for Economic Research); Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) September 2006 CESifo Working Paper Series No. 1806 Abstract: Estimations of the size and development of the shadow economy for 145 countries, including developing, transition and highly developed OECD economies over the period 1999 to 2003 are presented. The average size of the shadow economy (as a percent of "official" GDP) in 2002/03 in 96 developing countries is 38.7%, in 25 transition countries 40.1%, in 21 OECD countries 16.3% and in 3 Communist countries 22.3%. An increased burden of taxation and social security contributions, combined with labor market regulation, are the driving forces of the shadow economy. Furthermore, the results show that the shadow economy reduces corruption in high-income countries, but increases corruption in low income countries. Finally, the various estimation methods are discussed and critically evaluated.

If only Bobby Ryan's empty-net try scooted an inch to the left of the post instead of the right. If only Jonas Hiller had just sat on the puck and waited for the referee's whistle. If only Ryan Getzlaf had attempted those blind passes.
Had any of those scenarios happened, the Ducks would probably be talking about starting their seven-game homestand in the right fashion, a stretch that will most likely decide whether they'll be in the playoffs or not. But they didn't and a 4-3 shootout loss to Montreal in which they led 3-0 after the first period cost them a critical point when they can't afford to give any away.
If that defeat took place in November, it could be excused as one of those tough defeats you try to move past. But this kind of loss occurred in March to a team that has to overtake four others, most notably Detroit, to steal the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Simply crushing.
"If at the end of the season you're not in the playoffs, you're going to say you regret that point that got away," center Todd Marchant said. "If you're in the playoffs, you're going to say 'Hey, forget about it.'
"We had an opportunity to get two points. We didn't. We got one. Now we've got to pick ourselves up and be ready to come out and play like we did in the first period but for 60 minutes."
The Ducks suffered their second consecutive loss at Honda Center after winning a club-record 11 in a row there. Up next is Columbus, a team that's already out of the playoff picture.
Simply put, if the Ducks don't snap out of their post-Olympic funk and win this one, they can forget about the postseason. Still coming on the homestand are West leaders San Jose and Chicago.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle remained confident that his team will bounce back from a debilitating defeat.
"I think that we'll learn from it," Carlyle said. "This group historically has been able to push these thigns behind us. I think right now it's better to flush it. it's not easy. But that's part of the responsibility of a pro athlete. You can't harbor every win or loss.
"We understand the situation that we're in. It was dramatic. We blew a point. We lost a point for ourselves. We'll move on."
Saku Koivu acknowledged that the homestand will decide their fate and said they don't have a choice but try to forget about the loss.
"These next two weeks are going to be critical for us," Koivu said. "We can make a difference and make a push if we're successful on this one and that's what we're looking for."
I am way past listening to the same ol' " Must Win" – been hearing that since at least January. That should have started much sooner and the game plan and the players should have demonstrated they really had that attitude.
I have a friend in Phoenix – we talk hockey on occasion. In a recent conversation she made the comment the Coyotes are a group of mostly average players – few stars.
Amazing isn't it what such a group can accomplish with the right coach and a group of players committed to winning…..
Exactly! Average players yet look at their success. ALL BECAUSE OF THE RIGHT COACH! Thank you….
Well said – I think that the coach of the year award will come down to Phoenix coach Dave Tippett and Colorado coach and ex-Duck Joe Sacco. Both teams play hard all the time and are relentless, and both have certainly embarrassed us and exposed our lack of work ethic. I still think we have better players than both those teams (albeit Colorado has some tremendous young players who are coming of age) but our performance on the ice has stunk for the most part of this season. Really disappointing:-(
Was last night's loss the crushing blow? Whisker close but no, not quite.
In the glass half full, Ducks have 3 games this week. We get Columbus and Nashville on the back end of two road games in two nights and San Jose on Sunday.
In the maybe a swig left in the glass shows the Ducks 6 pts out of a playoff spot with just 17 games left. To make it our Ducks must take 7 more pts than Detroit, 6 more than Calgary and 2 more than St. Louis and Dallas. Plus we must stay ahead of Minnesota who trail by 1 pt but have a GIH.
Worse, we don't play Detroit or Calgary. We need somebody else to do some of our winning for us. Let's say our Ducks go 12-4-1 in the remaining games. If Detroit goes just 10-7 or Calgary goes 11-6 we're done.
So let's put the magic number at 3. That is 3 losses from this point forward and our Ducks miss the playoffs. Sorry gang but that's the absolute best positive spin I can put on it.
Last night was an easy one to analyze for me.The Ducks just stopped playing after the first period.The defense again was weak. Getzlaf, talented as he is, showed his propensity for making boneheaded plays that led directly to two goals. In all three games since the Olympic break,there has been very little passion or desire to win and make the playoffs by this team. You can't pin this on Carlyle,the players have to want it. As much as I love the Ducks and am a die hard fan,stick a fork in the Ducks-they are done!!!
I think that you were right there…you can pin a lot of this loss squarely on Getzlaf. Personally, I don't understand Carlyle's love affair with the guy. He makes a huge turnover which leads to a Montreal goal, and yet he's back out there on the next shift. You don't rewards poor, lazy play with more ice time…you move him to the end of the bench and let him ride the pine for half a period.
Great point DFan. But it fits RC's approach. Brown & Sexton may have been the most effective forwards last night. Definitely had more energy then most of the other forwards. But RC won't play them because of his fear of them making a mistake….like a blind back pass to try to get out of your own zone.
You mean just like the ones Getzlaf was making in his own zone?
It ain't over till it's over. The Ducks are allowing the flame of hope to die out more and more each game, but the fact is there is still hope. You don't have to be happy about what you see, but there is still hope for this team. Live up to "Die Hard Ducks fan" and don't give up on them.
They stopped playing because of Rc's shut down mode tactics. Go on defense and stay on defense. Don't you dare give up an out numbered attack. You could almost see it in the players effort, like why bother trying to rush the puck or get some sort of tranistion game going. Nope, just dump the puck, get it out of the zone, next shift.
I agree BC, this week is the pivot week, we are out of games to try and catch up, if we don't run the homestand table, we are out….someone please notify the skaters of our first two lines that we need to score four goals a game to compete with our division with the way we turn it over…simple…four goals to compete 5 to win….almost every night…nto the same as years before, and I think we blame that on RC but the players are the ones coasting…do you honestly think RC is telling them to ease up, and just sit back? They are their own worst enemy….Montreal laughed their way off the bench and onto a plane last night….watch the tape…they laughed! Even they knew they shouldn't have won…what a gift.
Unfortunately, as a season ticket holder I was at the game. I couldn't believe how the game plan changed during the 2nd period. Instead of attacking, they were defending, not shooting the puck. Definitely didn't see the same intensity in some of the players compared to their performance in the Olympics which was extremely disappointing since there were a good deal of Canadien fans there last night. I don't blame Hiller except for the "shootout" goal. He had some amazing stops. We didn't attack Halak and we missed a clearly easy open goal to end the game. Unless the intensity changes, we're done.
We have met the enemy, and he is us.
I agree, especially the way Perry was acting last night.
We're too heavy on players who are locked in without fear of being traded (yet). Phoenix is a great example of what can be done with the right coaching and right motivation.
Not expecting the Ducks to get into the play offs, pretty much being realistic but I will be hitting Phoenix for some play off games.. hope they play the Kings and win!
Well said ASeg. Your Phoenix reference is right on.
As a canadian fan, i can tell you guys that you're very polite with your home club.
Had this come back appened in Mornréal, the entire club would had been linched.
Thanks for the very needed two points.
Au revoir et merci de Montréal.
You guys know I am not a Getz fan…not a leader yet wears the 'A' ,good skills, yet too too lazy……….lots of stupid bone headed plays, but wants to compare with Thornton. The guy should have had a ton of healthy scratches and if that didn't work…..ship him out. I agree…you do not reward a bone head with more ice time. I truly believe he has a cup and a gold medal with lots of cash….what's the motivation. Players with that attitude need to be dumped no matter how good some people think they are
We're recent Stanley Cup champs who will fail to make the playoffs. We are loaded with talent however not motivated and sorely lacking in preparation. Coach is to blame for failures on ice and GM is to blame for coach's failure to motivate/make sure the club is prepared for battle. Troops ain't buying Chief's message and don't believe in XO's system & tactics. We've gone 'round and 'round with the Murph-Model New-Player Parade . . . players from all over the galaxy 'been coming and going for a while now. It ain't workin'. All tell tale signs this regime's time is past. A further sign of overall lack of leadership and vision is their amateurish denial in public as to where the blame lies. GM's comments about "players going before coach goes" and coach's blithering about "well, I've told 'em over and over again so don't look at me . . . " blahblah . . . yadayadayada . . . etc. . . et. al . . . are very bad signs to say the least.
I'm sorry to say that Ducks fans but I think your coach has made a terrible mistake in the game vs Montreal. He left out Koivu and put Visnovski instead during the shootout. But that's Randy Carlisle. No Clue Carlile should I say. Koivu has some nifty moves comes shootout time. I know I'm a habs fan and I've seen him time and time again. Against his old team he would have more than welcome the opportunity to do good. No class M. Carlisle.

While reading the book Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear? as part of our BFIAR learning fun, we took "Dee" and her friend on their first ever trip to Build-a-Bear, to "create" and dress their own bears.
Dee, of course, chose a pink bear. :) She watched as the bear was filled with "fluff", then she picked out a special heart to place inside her bear before it was sewn shut.
The girls then "scrubbed" their bears, before going to the computers to make them a "birth certificate".
Dee chose a colorful summer outfit (pink, of course), with a matching pair of pink flip flops for her bear, then proceeded to the dressing area to dress her bear.
All Done!
I love the look of delight on these faces!

Tout Quarry on Portland
Last week I drove back to Weymouth for the day, for an interview with Ruth Meech of the Dorset Evening Echo. She's writing a piece about Stonewylde for the special Saturday paper, and hopes it'll be out on Saturday 13th, one week before the book launch in Dorchester on Oct 20th.
After the interview, I went to visit a very good friend and we drove across to Portland for a walk. You can see how blessed we were with the weather - it had been absolutely pouring on the drive down, with so much spray on the motorway that visibility was dreadful. But just look at that glorious blue sky in the photo!
We walked to Tout Quarry, which is actually the place that inspired me for Quarrycleave. Tout Quarry is a disused quarry near Easton, and it's been turned into a sculpture park. It's wild and natural - you just turn up and wander around. It's enormous and would take several hours to see all of it; it's well worth the time.
Tout Quarry is an amazing place, but it's not the Place of Bones and Death that features in Stonewylde. That idea came to me in a nightmare a long time ago and scared me so much that even many years on, it still frightens me. But when I began constructing Quarrycleave in my imagination, it was Tout that kept popping up in my mind's eye. The boulders, the swarming ivy ...
There are canyons of stone, dead ends, great blocks, hidden recesses. And without wishing to put any spoilers in here, there's a carving called "Still Falling" which had a profound effect on me. I think of it often. Can you see the falling man?
Tout is full of unusual carvings and sculptures. It's a strange place - not terrifying like Quarrycleave, but with a certain atmosphere that would definitely put me off visiting after dark. Not exactly haunted or creepy, but not comfortable either. And just look who's crawling back up!

I'm afraid that your lovely quarry reminded me too much of the Stonewylde quarry.... especially the HAND!!! and as I'm re-reading Shadows I found the pictures creepy.... what an imagination I have!!! just shows what a good writer you are doesn't it. you were well blessed with the weather though. thanks for sharing. can't wait til Shaman is popping through my letterbox :-))

We used to go to Tout Quarry quite often when the children were small and they used to love it.
I will look forward to reading the article in the Echo, and your new book.

Online Christian Books
Death & Immortality
Largest collection of books and articles on the internet pertaining to the Biblical argument for Conditional Immortality.
Tradition verses the Bible
Eschatology - Were Jesus' Phrophesies Fulfilled in 70ad?
Some of the most powerful evidence that proves Jesus to be Whom he claimed to be is found in the historical fulfillment of the prophsies He foretold in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 a.d. Yet the Church, for the most part, has allowed it to go unnoticed. Read the book the "Parousia" by James S. Russell (below) for a faith strengthening, eye opening experience!
Social Issues - Politics - Ethics
Doctrine & Theological Issues
The bible teaches that those who reject God's message of reconciliation and gift of eternal life will be cast into the lake of fire, as in complete incineration which is described as "the second death." This is eternal damnation with no hope of resurrection. The purpose of this book is to examine the Holy Scriptures to determine the precise nature of this "second death" and show why it is the soul's destruction and not everlasting torment. Thankfully, many biblically sound, evangelical Christians are now coming to realize this important scriptural truth including John Stott, Clark Pinnock and Dr. David Reagan to name a few.
Let me emphasize beforehand that there's absolutely no disputing the fact that eternal damnation is a horrifying reality in Christian thought. We should take the bible's repeated warnings of such seriously, and encourage others to do the same.
I do not attempt to prove the existence of God or the reliability of the Judeo-Christian scriptures; such issues are beyond the scope of this writing.
This study is intended for anyone who has an interest in finding out what the bible plainly and consistently teaches about the nature of hell and related subjects (including a fascinating exploration of human nature in Appendix B). So, whether you're a devoted Christian, a doubting Christian, an agnostic, an atheist—or simply a fellow human being who disdains all such labeling—I welcome you on this journey of discovery.

Tricks of the Trade: Negotiating with Wedding Vendors
By Rachael Halpern ~ January 27th, 2012 ~ Guest Blogger | 2 Comments |
Guest Post By Rachael Zebrowski, Vintage&Lace, Wedding Planner
One of the best pieces of wedding planning advice I received shortly after my engagement came from a newly wed friend who said, "Negotiate! Negotiate! Negotiate!"
From my friend's insight, I soon learned that one of the best-kept secrets in the wedding industry is the incredible willingness of most vendors to negotiate a trade.
Many couples on a tight budget take one look at the price of a venue and write it off as out of their range. However, if you get creative, there are ways to craft a better deal.
Instead of just asking for a discounted rate, ask yourself what you have to offer that might be of value. For example, my husband and I chose a brand new wedding venue to host our reception. Knowing that the venue would need photos for their marketing material, we offered them the use of our wedding photos in exchange for waiving the Event Use Fee. Recognizing the offer as a win-win for both parties, the venue took the deal. They received loads of professional photographs to use in their marketing campaign while we saved $2,000 (which we then used to hire a top-notch photographer)!
The possibilities for trades are endless; think about what goods or services you can bring to the table and start negotiating. It never hurts to ask and you have nothing to lose!
Look for more ways to save soon, like substitutions, being flexible with your date and time, and joining forces with another couple. Happy Planning!

Ticket #14139 (closed enhancement: wontfix)
xinstall needs to support recursion
Reported by: | rhwood@… | Owned by: | macports-tickets@… |

Component: | base | Version: | 1.7.0 |
Keywords: | Cc: | and.damore@…, ian@…, egall@… | |

xinstall needs to support recursion so that the installation of Bundles (not a concept at the time install(1) was developed) can be done without resorting to "file mkdir ... ; file copy ..."
Change History
comment:3 follow-up: ↓ 4 Changed 2 years ago by ian@…
To stoke the fire I've just added a patch that brings Facter to 1.6.2 and Puppet to 2.7.6.
It seems like the --destdir and --configdir options to install.rb do enough of the right thing in 2.7.6 to be passable. I've removed all the reinplace's accordingly. I've noticed that puppet master --genconfig outputs everything without ${prefix}, but I wouldn't consider that a show stopper. I'll submit a patch upstream for it. If anyone feels it needs to be addressed from the get go I can attack it with Ryan's suggested @PREFIX@ approach.
I also dropped the xinstall of ${prefix}/var/puppet/rrd as I was building up from what wasn't working for me. I can add it back with Ryan's suggested destroot.keepdirs fix as needed.
I added copying of the config examples to ${prefix}/share/examples/puppet/etc/puppet. I was going to add all the examples, but then I realized xinstall doesn't recurse directories (Ticket #14139). Is there a preferred way to handle a sizable tree otherwise?
There are so many ways to setup puppet that I'm curious to get people's input on whether default config and startup items would be desired, and if so what should they look like? For my initial use case I'm just using puppet apply on demand instead of puppet master and puppet agent. Perhaps startup items for the master and agent daemons, configured for localhost only, with a manifest that otherwise does nothing, would add some warmth and fuzziness to the port?

Oops, ignore all that, wrong window.

xinstall is meant to be a builtin implementation of install(1), which also cannot operate in a recursive mode.
How would the modes be applied in recursive mode? Directories need +x, while it should not be set on non-executable files. Would we have to two separate mode arguments; one for files, one for directories?


text:
After using the file, the process should use the close system call.
This system call usually takes some arguments indicating a file path, the kind of access requested on the file (read, write, append, etc.) and how the file information should be interpreted (text, binary, record-based). In several operating systems this system call can also be used to create a non existent file and returning a file descriptor for it.
int open (const char *pathname, int oflag, .../*,mode_t mode */);
The value returned is the new file descriptor (in POSIX, file descriptors are non-negative integer values). This integer is usually an index on a table of open files for the process. The operating system keeps independent tables for different processes. The file descriptor contains, among other things, a position pointer that indicates which place of the file will be acted upon by further file operations.
The same filesystem file can be opened simultaneously by several processes, and even by the same process (resulting in several file descriptors for the same file). Operations on the descriptors like moving the file pointer, or closing it are independent (they do not affect other descriptors for the same physical file). However, operations of the physical file (like a write) can be seen by operations on the other descriptors (a posterior read can read the written data)
Alternatively, open can return a negative number indicating that the open operation failed
The pathname argument is the name of the file to open. It is a file path indicating in which place of the file system the file should be found (or created if that is requested)
There are a multiple options for this function, which are specified by the oflag argument.
This argument formed by OR'ing together one or more of the following constants (from Optionally, you can also use the following parameters (the following list is not exhaustive, it intends to show what kind of options can be used with open):O_APPEND
the mode_t argument is optional, and is relevant only when creating a new file. It indicates the
file permissions for the newly created file.

Deal: Get a free pair of Nokia Purity headphones with Windows Phone purchase from the Microsoft Store
Posted by
Saad Hashmi
The official Twitter account of the Microsoft Store has announced a new promotion across retail stores that should be perfect for Windows Phone buyers still on the fence.
If you purchase a new Windows Phone from a local Microsoft Store, they will throw in a free pair of Nokia Purity headphones. We were able to confirm with the Microsoft Store that they are the Nokia Purity Stereo Headsets (WH-920). They are normally priced for $99.99, so we definitely consider this deal a true bargain. Plus they come in Black, Cyan, Magenta, and White so you should be able to match them with your own colorful phone (depending on availability of course). Here is Nokia's official product page, which includes specs for the audiophiles in the crowd.
It appears this offer is only available in-stores, so happy hunting!

- This article is about the Twilight Princess item. For the Phantom Hourglass enemy, see Shell Spinner.
Spinner | |
The Spinner | |
First appearance | Twilight Princess (2006) |
Found | Arbiter's Grounds |
Use | Climb railed walls Cross quicksand Spin gears Attack enemies |
- "You got the Spinner! This ancient machine allows you to float in the air."
- — In-game description
The Spinner is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is an ancient device found within the Arbiter's Grounds, and its appearance is that of a large top with a gear along the outer edge. The Spinner has three main uses. It can attach itself to certain rails on walls, and since Link stands on it, he is able to ride on top of the Spinner up to areas he could not normally reach. The Spinner can jump from one rail to another if the second rail is located on the opposite wall. Additionally, Link can use the spinner to cross areas of quicksand or weak floor tiles such as the ones of City in the Sky. Inside dungeons, the Spinner can be fit into certain holes in the ground where a gear would normally be. Spinning the Spinner will turn the gears, usually causing part of the dungeon to move, such as stairs, platforms, and bridges. If not used along a rail, it eventually loses speed and stops.
The Spinner can also be used as a weapon, though to a much lesser extent than other items. Pressing A (or B in the Wii Version) while riding the Spinner on the ground makes it spin hop for a split instant. This attack does minimal damage to enemies, but is invaluable when fighting Stallord. It is initially used to break Stallord's spine; Link can then damage Stallord by slamming it into his head with the Spinner's attack.
Theory warning: This section contains theoretical information based on the research of one or several other users. It has not been officially verified by Nintendo and its factual accuracy is disputed.
It is possible that the Oocca also designed the Spinner along with the Clawshot. This can be explained through similarities in design and the fact that the Oocca have Spinner gear holes, but have fallen out of communication with Hyrule, which is the where the item would have been designed if not in City in the Sky. Also, the majority of weapons and tools built in Hyrule are primitive, but the fact that the Spinner is a disk that rotates at high speeds on the outer rim, but rotates the inner rim simultaneously, so that the user does not spin much, would suggest it is far more advanced than almost anything else built in Hyrule.
Theory warning: Theories end here.
Non-canonical appearances
Non-canon warning: This article or section contains non-canonical information that is not considered to be an official part of the Legend of Zelda series and should not be considered part of the overall storyline.

Fairyland of Festivities
A magical ice palace was built for Bonhomme, the Carnival's guest of honour, for the first time in Jacques-Cartier Square in 1955. The impressive ice construction even had a dungeon, used to jokingly jail Carnival-goers who refused to honour Bonhomme's effigy. From 1956 to 1972, Bonhomme's palace was located at Place d'Youville. Crowds gathered to dance and celebrate at the site that had special lighting and entertainment for the occasion. In 1973, Bonhomme's ice palace was moved opposite the Québec Parliament.
The Carnival kingdom's palace was built from snow from 1979 to 1994 with around 9,000 tons of snow compacted into enormous bricks. The bricks were shaped and assembled according to an artist's blueprints. The result was a castle of impressive dimensions; 50 metres wide, 20 metres deep and 20 metres high. Fifteen men worked continuously for two months to create this immense snow sculpture. The estimated cost of the project was $65,000 CAN, to which and additional $20,000 was added for electric installations, light displays and special effects. The work is always worth it, since the palace is the centre point for many Carnival activities.
To the delight of all Carnival-goers, the ice palace made its return in 1993. The move is seen as a refreshing return to Carnival's origins…
Site of Bonhomme's Palace
At the very beginning, the Palace was built in Place d'Youville. In the early 1970s, it was built on the Esplanade du Parlement. In 1999, the Palace was built in front of the Drill Hall since repairs were being done in front of the Parliament. From 2000 to 2011, Bonhomme's Ice Palace has been set at Place de l'Assemblée-Nationale, near the traffic circle. In 2012, the Palace will be directly on the plains of Abraham. Look at the photographs!

Study on CCSVI in MS at Cleveland Clinic Foundation
In June 2010, the National MS Society (USA) and the MS Society of Canada committed over $2.4 million to support seven new research projects on the role of CCSVI (chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency) in MS (http://www.nationalmssociety.org/ccsvi), an abnormality of blood drainage from the brain and spinal cord in MS originally reported by Dr. Paolo Zamboni. The new projects take a comprehensive look at the structure and function of veins draining the brain and spinal cord in people representing a spectrum of MS types, severities and durations, and compare them to structure and function of veins in people with other diseases and healthy volunteers. The studies incorporate high standards of experimental blinding and controls designed to provide unbiased results.
Title: "A Multi-Modal Assessment of Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency"
Robert J. Fox, M.D.
Cleveland Clinic Foundation
Cleveland, OH
Term/Amount: 7/1/10-9/30/13 (extension granted); $571,261
- A series of recent publications have suggested that some people with MS have obstructions in the veins that drain blood in the brain and spinal cord that may contribute to nervous system damage in MS.
- Dr. Fox and a multi-disciplinary team are seeking to reproduce these findings in 90 people with MS and 80 control subjects without MS, using various tests, as well as examining vein tissues obtained via autopsy.
- Data from these studies will provide a comprehensive foundation upon which to either design further longitudinal and intervention studies, or reject this hypothesis of MS pathogenesis.
About the Investigator: Dr. Robert J. Fox is an award-winning clinical researcher who is dedicated to finding better therapies for people with MS. He is currently Medical Director of the Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis Treatment and Research at Cleveland Clinic, where he conducts clinical trials in MS and serves as a peer reviewer and advisor to many agencies including the National MS Society's headquarters and local Ohio Buckeye Chapter.
He graduated with a BA in neuroscience Summa cum laude from Amherst College and received his MD from Johns Hopkins University. He did his residency in neurology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. His National MS Society-supported Sylvia Lawry Physician Fellowship at Cleveland Clinic enabled him to gain hands-on experience conducting MS clinical trials and to pursue a Master's in clinical research from Case Western Reserve University.
Dr. Fox's multi-disciplinary team includes the medical director of the Cleveland Clinic's neurovascular laboratory, an expert cardiologist in venous ultrasound, the section head of imaging sciences, and others with expertise in neuropathology, anatomy, biomedical engineering, and biostatistics. By assimilating such a diverse team of experts in their respective fields, a complete and accurate assessment of CCSVI will be performed.
Project Details: Recent preliminary studies have suggested that a phenomenon called Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI), a reported abnormality in blood drainage from the brain and spinal cord, may contribute to nervous system damage in MS. This hypothesis has been put forth by Dr. Paolo Zamboni from the University of Ferrara in Italy. This pilot study warrants a subsequent larger and better controlled studies to definitively evaluate the possible impact of CCSVI on the disease process in MS.
Dr. Fox and his team are seeking to reproduce these findings in 90 people with different forms of MS and 80 controls without MS. His team is conducting the same tests that were done in the original studies (ultrasound tests of the veins in the neck), an MRI test that looks specifically at veins, and neurological examinations. Most of these MS patients have been followed for the past 10 years in a longitudinal study using quantitative clinical and imaging measures, which will provide an opportunity to compare CCSVI findings to MS disease evolution. To distinguish whether vein abnormalities are from atrophy (brain tissue volume loss) and not specifically MS, they also are comparing the MS group to people with atrophy from Alzheimer's disease. Finally, they are examining the neck and spinal cord veins obtained via autopsy from people with MS and non-MS controls.
Data from these studies will shed light on the meaning of Dr. Zamboni's original reports and how CCSVI relates to disease activity in MS.
Progress updates
October 2013
Team publishes results from a small study related to hydration levels and CCSVI assessments.
June 2013
Dr. Fox requested an extension to this grant to finish analyzing scans and prepare results for publication in scientific journals. He has presented preliminary results at several medical conferences.
September 2012
Researchers continue with their progress in the seven Society-funded CCSVI studies in MS. Read about the most recent progress
January 2012
Dr. Fox's team continues to use MR venography, ultrasound, MRI and clinical measures in people with MS or who are at risk for MS (CIS) and comparison groups to evaluate vein drainage. The ultrasound team, which underwent training in the technique originally used by Dr. Zamboni, found several aspects of the published methodology ambiguous, and they have standardized the protocol and analysis to achieve consistent results.
Early on they identified physiological and technical factors that can complicate screening for vein blockages using ultrasound, including that heartbeat irregularities, stages of breathing, head position and pressure applied by the operator could alter results; and that the state of hydration of the subject (whether they drank adequate amounts of fluids) might impact results of several of the criteria used to determine CCSVI.
The team reported at the international ECTRIMS/ACTRIMS congress in October 2011 preliminary results of ultrasound assessments. Pooling the results of the ongoing, blinded study of CCSVI in MS and non-MS controls, they reported results from the first 20 subjects, finding that 6 (30%) met criteria for CCSVI, four subjects met no criteria, and none met criteria for reverted postural control of cerebral venous outflow. Nine subjects (45%) had a flap and/or septum/abnormal valve. Identifi¬cation of deep cerebral vein reflux depended upon the ultrasound technique. They noted that this finding highlights the importance of ultrasound methodology in performing and interpreting deep cerebral vein assessments. (P1104 – "Ultrasound assessment of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency." R. Fox, L. Baus, C. Diaconu, A. Grattan, I. Katzan, S. Kim, M. Lu, L. Raber, A. Rae-Grant)
At the same ECTRIMS/ACTRIMS meeting, the team shared preliminary results from an ongoing study of vein structure in autopsy specimens from seven people who had MS in their lifetimes, compared to six people who did not have MS. In this unblinded study, they identified abnormalities inside the vein tubes (lumen) that drain the brain and found a variety of structural abnormalities and anatomic variations in both groups. However, they reported higher frequency of abnormalities in those who had MS (2 abnormalities in 2 out of 6 controls versus 9 abnormalities in 6 out of 7 MS patients). They noted that MR venography may be less effective than ultrasound for identifying these venous abnormalities, and that ultrasound that examines only vein wall circumference may miss some intraluminal abnormalities. (Abstract 134 – "Anatomical and histological analysis of venous structures associated with chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency." C. Diaconu, S. Staugaitis, J. McBride, C. Schwanger, A. Rae-Grant, R. Fox)
Quotes – Dr. Robert Fox
- "A series of recent publications have indicated that some patients with MS have abnormal veins in the neck and chest. The same authors have also suggested that these abnormal veins could cause some or all of the symptoms of MS. To date this work has not been independently reproduced by other researchers, a step which is key in any new scientific discovery."
- "We will study a group of patients with MS and see if we find the same vein abnormalities. At the conclusion of these studies, we will have a clear understanding of the relevance of CCSVI to multiple sclerosis."

A game-day GreyTone Prognostication.
by Aggrey Sam and Toney Blare
TB: Two 50-plus win teams and, could it be, the Birdman is the key?
AS: Very possible, but I see it being Tyson's health. All grudges aside, I can't see D. West going for delf. Of course, we can't forget the big matchup between Chris and Chauncey Billups. The Bees' success is usually based on the fact that most point guards are to CP are like broads to Lawrence Phillips.
TB: Wow, there's your analogy for the day, people.
AS: Yeah, that was a little over the top. I thought we were going Rae and Ghost on this one. Would have been epic, another Cuban Linx! And N.O. was technically 49-33, so I'll drop it.
TB: Regarding Birdman, the Hornets' bench is factor No. 1A in their somewhat anti-climactic regular season. Basically, no one showed up much, except for Sean Marks and Posey when it wasn't raining or there were no cracks in the sidewalk (i.e., less and less as the season went on). Contrast this with Birdman being probably Denver's best rebounder and the usual JR Smith craziness and Denver, while not especially deep, at least has some dynamics.
AS: True indeed. I wonder if Mo Pete has any vet mojo left. It would be nice if Lord Byron let Julian Wright loose like last season, but I think this season has proved that last year was special, no matter how much Hornets fans would like to live in the past. Actually, the buzz (no pun intended) around the city about CP and the Bees in general, seems to have faded. Not to beat a dead horse, but this all started when they didn't re-up Pargo, last year's playoff hero. His production off the pine would have been very welcome. Where have you gone, Mike James and Bonzi Wells?
TB: Regarding Tyson's health, factor No. 1B, who knows? Looked aiight vs. Spurs, did not seem to make Peja's jumper fall. This is actually a fairly big point in his career, or rather, in how the Hornets proceed with him. We all scoffed at OKC sending him back, and then he missed most of the games after that initial eight-win vengeance run. If they're going to move him, they can't exactly shrug off the "fragile" tag at the negotiating table. And if he joins the other four starters (who until Game 82, hadn't been together in a month and were 10-4 in 2009 when united) and they take out the No. 2 seed then–this could happen–beat Dallas or S.A., how does management keep up the "basketball reasons" excuse when shopping the big fella this off-season?
AS: All Ty needs to do is be a force on the boards and pretty much cancel out Nene, who's had a wildly underrated season. A couple of Crescent City Connection oops from Chris would be nice be eye candy, too, but just the threat of an athletic big rolling to the basket when CP has a ball screen should open up things for the shooters (Rasual Butler, Posey, Peja, Mo Pete). As far as the off-season, I think they need to blow this thing up. I don't want this to happen, but I don't wanna see the Hornets waste CP's early prime. As far as I'm concerned, he's the only untouchable on the roster, West included. Speaking of, back to the battle of point guards.
TB: I think Chauncey is probably the key, but I wonder if he's all that hungry. We know Chris is, but whether anyone besides West can put the ball in the basket, we'll have to wait and see. Chauncey's had a great year and I guess experts will expect him to post Chris up, but Paul's a prince among thieves. I'm not worried.
AS: See, I always appreciated Chauncey, but I was more of a believer in Detroit's team dynamic then his own personal greatness. However, since his arrival in the Rockies, you can't deny how completely different the Nuggets look. 'Melo looks like the 'Melo he's supposed to be (but not the superstar we hoped he'd become), JR Smith has a niche and the bigs do what they're supposed to do. Basically, he makes things function correctly. This is why George Karl shouldn't get Coach of the Year votes.
TB: The problem for the last, oh, 20 games for New Orleans has been the lack of support for the two All-Stars. I missed a few games but hit the last one here vs. Dallas. Hard to believe 2-on-5 that game was offensively. If no one steps up, Denver has too many options and can win in a high-scoring series. I'd like to say that Byron has scrappy vets like Ryan Bowen and Mo-Pete who are made for grind of the playoffs, but at this point, my faith in Lord Folded Arms is at an all-time low. His big move will be shortening the rotation to squeeze out whatever's left, then complain about guys not showing up.
AS: When I said N.O. needs to blow this thing up, Byron wasn't excluded. He actually should be forced to stick around for the rebuilding process to see if he can actually coach. I think Byron and Karl are in the same, but you're right–Denver just has more options. Outside of Posey, who on the Hornets can make a comparable impact to Linas Kleiza, Birdman, even an energy guy like Renaldo Balkman or steady vets like Dahntay Jones and Anthony Carter?
TB: Altitude/Attitude: as others have noted, this series involves a difference in 5,280 feet between the two cities. I've made that trip before and it was no joke. Other contrasts include: Jon Benet Ramsay/Hurricane Katrina, John Denver/Dr. John, Coors/Hurricanes, the Rockies/the Mississippi, Columbine/that wild Mardi Gras parade shooting this year with the dudes wearing house arrest bracelets, what?! Anyway, attitude is another interesting subplot, easily illustrated by K-Mart vs. D-West. One will touch your face, the other wears red kiss marks on his neck. Wait…
AS: I'd get a tat on my neck for Trina, too–back in 2001. Seriously though, that power forward matchup should be interesting. At some point, West decided that rebounding and even his ground-bound, old-man D were both optional. He even went away from his post game, for the most part. If N.O. has no presence in the paint (again, Tyson's health), that will be a problem, so he can't resort to being a straight jump-shooter. K-Mart, on the other hand, seems to have been experienceing flashbacks as of late. If he's active on the boards and can manufacture some easy buckets via Chauncey (think back to his Jersey days; he's most effective when playing with a true point), that will be big.
TB: What about Posey on Melo? Much maligned (and in street clothes) during the second half of the season, the supposed next Robert Horry wasn't ready for a full 82-games assignment in the sixth man/stopper/No. 1 scorer-off-the-bench role. Can he make up for this by harassing Melo, or will B-More's finest shine and hit a couple clutch shots? Really, sorta weird that Melo isn't the first or second player we think about when discussing this series. I never had much faith, but you'd expect him to make some noise against Peja or Rasual, so it's up to Posey to keep him out of the second round.
AS: Yeah, this series will really shape my view of Melo. If he's cool with taking a back seat to Chauncey and is truly just a secondary guy (even though he isn't facing the same daunting matchup at his position), then maybe he's a T-Mac, a sidekick who's ill-equipped to be that dude on a successful squad. We'd just see it earlier in his career, which is a good thing. Putting it all on Posey to limit him isn't a wise move. Although he was picked up for that purpose and more, as you mentioned, if he's charged with shutting down Melo alone, I don't think we can expect him to contribute much on offense. This isn't Boston or Miami, you know. He's like third option at times here. Rasual's D is better than people think and like I said earlier, Julian Wright should (but likely won't) see some tick on the wing. Julian and Hilton both need to get burn or the starters will get burned out, second round or not. Denver just has too many bodies and athletes.
TB: Denver's always been my least favorite lockerroom to cover (except, strangely, for Karl, who went to high school with my dad and uncle; Penn Hills!), and I wonder if they can endure a war with the Hornets, or if the Bees will be thrown off by the rap snitch vibe.
AS: I'm not a big fan of their locker room either, from when I did a piece on Rodney White and DerMarr Johnson back in the day. They won, but you would have sworn they lost by a dub. I heard a real funny George Karl story from neighbor last week, back in his ABA playing days; with the New Orleans Bucs, ironically. Anyway, just to cover all the bases, watch out for JR and Kleiza.
I could see JR going for 20-plus a couple times and Kleiza having one of those surprise games where he's the difference. Rasual and Peja have the potential to do the same thing. The difference is, the Hornets need them to do it, while it's a luxury for Denver. Prediction?
TB: Bees in seven.
AS: I'm with you, for no other reason than CP. They probably shouldn't win and won't deserve to win, but Karl is a choke artist and is smelling himself right now, while Byron knows enough to leave Chris alone. Chauncey thinks the game like no other, but Chris is close and I think he can will N.O. to three wins (they can steal one in Denver; I don't see the altitude affecting him) and get enough from West and Co. to win another at home.

Premiere: An Unreleased Live Nirvana Song From the Bleach Reissue
By Tom Breihan on September 30, 2009 at 01:45 p.m.
On November 3, Sub Pop will reissue Nirvana's classic 1989 debut Bleach. The 20th anniversary deluxe edition, which will be available on CD and 180 gram white vinyl, will include a complete live recording of a 1990 gig at Portland's Pine Street Theatre. Bleach producer Jack Endino mixed the previously unreleased show from the original tapes. Now, we've got one track from it.
Endino really did a hell of a job on "Scoff", which sounds about a million percent crispier than your average live recording. Kurt Cobain's voice here is even more ragged than on the Bleach version, if that's even possible, and the song just bangs. You owe it to yourself to check this one out. Click below. -
Lily Allen Preps Deluxe Reissue
By Ryan Dombal on September 28, 2009 at 11:10 a.m.
It's been seven whole months since Lily Allen's It's Not Me, It's You hit stores, so it's high time for one of those quickie, holiday-season reissues record companies are so fond of nowadays. According to the singer's site, the CD/DVD package features a nine-song live set taped at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire, along with the requisite music videos, acoustic alternate versions, and covers of Britney Spears and ELO. (Via NME.) It's due for release in the UK November 16 via Parlophone.
It's also been four whole days since Lily announced she might quit music, so it's high time for her to plan two new 2010 tour dates as well, apparently. Lil has marked a couple March gigs in London and Manchester with rapper Dizzee Rascal-- check out all of her currently scheduled shows at her MySpace. It's Not Me, It's You SE tracklist below: -
News in Brief: Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, Bauhaus, Russian Circles, WFMU Fest
By Tom Breihan on September 25, 2009 at 04:45 p.m.
-- Last night the Chicago chamber-pop group the Scotland Yard Gospel Choir got into a bad tour van accident in Indiana, which sent the entire band to the hospital and destroyed all their gear. Bassist Mark Yoshizumi had to be airlifted to a Chicago hospital, where he's in serious condition, and other band members sustained injuries. Bloodshot Records, the band's label, has set up a PayPal account for donations to offset their medical and equipment expenses; go here to donate.
-- On October 19, 4AD will release deluxe omnibus editions of two albums from goth O.G.s Bauhaus: In the Flat Field and ...And Remains, the former of which is actually the first album 4AD ever released. Trent Reznor is amped. Check here for details.
-- Chicago slow-burn post-rockers Russian Circles will release third album Geneva on October 20, via Suicide Squeeze. The band will spend their autumn touring with cerebral metallers Red Sparrowes and Young Widows.
-- The beloved Jersey-based freeform radio station WFMU will hold its WFMU Fest at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg October 1-3. Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Faust, Cold Cave, Pissed Jeans, Sightings, and TV Ghost will all play.
Numero Group Readies Coffee Table Book, Eccentric Soul Revue Tour
By Tom Breihan on September 24, 2009 at 03:15 p.m.
The Chicago-based reissue label Numero Group isn't just interested in unearthing obscure music from bygone eras (though that's certainly a noble enough pursuit). They're interested in making those bygone eras come to life. This fall, they're branching out in pursuit of that goal with a book and a tour.
Tompkins Square Readies Gospel Box
By Tom Breihan on September 23, 2009 at 03:15 p.m.
Tompkins Square will take us to church with Fire in My Bones: Raw + Rare + Otherworldly African-American Gospel, a three-CD box set of obscure post-World War II African-American gospel music. No Aretha Franklin on this one.
Produced by Pitchfork contributor Mike McGonigal, Fire in My Bones collects nearly four hours of studio tracks and field recordings of songs and sermons. Most of the material, by artists like Leon Pinson, Elder & Sister Brinson & the Brinson Brothers, Grant & Ella, and Straight Street Holiness Group, has never been released on CD before. The box is due October 27.A portion of sales will go to the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund.
Fela Kuti Catalogue to Be Reissued
By Tom Breihan on September 23, 2009 at 01:45 p.m.
The late, legendary Afrobeat bandleader Fela Kuti is a figure so compelling and influential that bands have based entire careers on single strands of his music. But for years, many of his records remain hard to find in America. Not for long, though. Knitting Factory Records is getting set to reissue pretty much everything the man ever did-- 45 albums, to be exact.
Neutral Milk Hotel Albums to Be Reissued on Vinyl by Merge
By Tom Breihan on September 22, 2009 at 12:05 p.m.
It has now been 11 years since the last time we heard a new album from Elephant 6 soul-stirrers Neutral Milk Hotel, and we still don't know if we're ever going to hear another full-on rock album from the band or reclusive leader Jeff Mangum. If anything, NMH's two albums have only grown in stature, especially 1998's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. The last time Aeroplane was reissued, Pitchfork dropped a 10.0 on it.
On November 3, Merge will reissue both Neutral Milk Hotel albums (Aeroplane and the 1996 full-length debut On Avery Island) on 180 gram vinyl. Both records will come with download codes so you'll be able to get the albums at 320 kpbs. No bonus tracks or anything, but there's no bad reason to buy these albums again. -
Gonzales Challenges Andrew W.K. to a Piano Battle in NYC, And He Accepts
By Tom Breihan on September 18, 2009 at 03:30 p.m.
Back in 2007, the Feist/Jamie Lidell collaborator Gonzales released an album of solo piano compositions called, appropriately enough, Solo Piano. Then, this past May, Gonzales set a new world record for for the longest concert by an individual, playing piano in Paris for 27 hours and three minutes. With these two triumphs behind him, Gonzales is now ready to take on another challenge: Going toe-to-toe with his fellow avant-pop auteur turned solo pianist, Andrew W.K.

In The Neighborhood Series Ep. 03
I admit, I might have had a little too much fun on this shoot. The fellows of L.A. based Warm Weather were in town on tour and were happy to hang out with us and film an episode of In The Neighborhood last month.
The band plays an older song, "I Only Know," just a block or two away from my house at a location I go past countless times a day. We even got them to sling back a couple of "Philly specials" with us at a local spot I love to periodically pop into.
Check out the group's latest music here and be sure to keep tabs on them as they're gearing up for a new release soon.

Llama – An Introduction
Thursday, August 3rd, 2006Llamas are members of the camelid family. The camelids originated on the central plains of North America about 40 million years ago. Primarily a beast of burden, they also provide native herdsmen with meat, fiber for clothing, hides for shelter and manure pellets for fuel. Differentiating characteristics between llamas and alpacas are that llamas are larger and have more elongated heads. Alpacas are sometimes considered to have more valuable fiber, as it is typically finer than that of a llama.

My son and I rode the route yesterday and while he handled the "shared" lanes well, it was a little nerve wracking at many points. Let's build consensus on this and resolve the fighting without making it political. I volunteer to host a party at my house where all parties involved can settle this over foosball, ping-pong, archery (recurve), rope climbing and arm wrestling. Heck, I'll even mount a jousting beam if they're up for it.
Jousting sounds like a solution! Winner takes all.
