- If you have time to do it the night before, put the orange zest and juice in a bowl with the sultanas. If you don't have time, on the day simply stir the zest, juice and sultanas together and microwave on Medium for 1-2 mins.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and grease and line the base and sides of a 2lb loaf tin. Whisk together the oil and eggs. Mix together the sugar, flours, mixed spice, cinnamon and bicarb in your largest mixing bowl. Add the sultanas with any juice and zest left in the bowl, grated carrot, walnuts and whisked egg mixture into the dry ingredients, then thoroughly mix with a wooden spoon. Tip into the loaf tin and bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr, or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool the cake in the tin.
- Once cool, remove from the tin and make the icing. With an electric whisk, beat together the soft cheese, butter, icing sugar and cinnamon until smooth. Spread over the top of the cake and decorate with walnut halves.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, June 2010
Comments, questions and tips
I'm new to baking and wasn't sure which soft cheese to use for the frosting. I chose Mascarppone but with hindsight I think that made it a little too rich so I will probably use something else next time. Cake was absolutely delicious, my husband said it was as good as you get in high street coffee shops.
This is a lovely moist recipe!
I didn't make the frosting because I felt there was enough sweetness/calories in the cake recipe and it was not missed.
Made a double mix, the first cake was taken to my mum's for a family afternoon tea. The texture of the second one was unbelievably even better the next day.
My teenage kids were not keen when I told them it was 'carrot' cake but they couldn't get enough once they had tried it!
This is another 'GoodFood' addition to our family favourites list and I will probably use this recipe for the next scouts cake sale.
I love this cake! I sometimes bake this in a lined 9" square cake tin, it cuts into nice deep squares, and freeze it without the icing. It makes a brilliant warm pudding with either Greek yogurt or custard - a great standby! I also freeze individual slices from a loaf tin. Wrap in paper towelling and defrost in the microwave gently for 1 minute - instant tea and cake for unexpected visitors - and it's as fresh as the day it was made.
this was absolutely scrummy - a 2lb loaf tin sounded a bit small as a birthday cake so I decided to double the quantities and made a 10 inch square cake. The alterations that I made were to reduce the sugar slightly (the equivalent would be 125g of soft light brown sugar); I used rape seed oil instead of sunflower and in the topping I shot in a dash of vanilla extract in addition to the other ingredients. I also dusted it with cinnamon as I love it.
The mix looked a bit sloppy when I poured it into the dish and I was worried that the oranges I'd used were too big. The result however was a nice deep (2inches plus) moist cake with a generous helping of topping that was delicious. I'll definately make this one again!

So here is why I showed up here. I have a Droid phone, run Entourage (Outlook for Mac) and use Microsoft exchange (hosted by 3rd party Intermedia). The app on the phone is called Exchange by Touchdown by Nitrodesk. The phone syncs with the server using Active Sync (the only option). Guess what? After hours setting up GTD on Entourage (using categories as contexts, using the Task function, etc.) Email, Contacts, Calendar sync flawlessly BUT - Active sync does not support Tasks! Maybe someday, not now. So I have the following position:
I want to implement GTD by the book
I want my Tasks program on the mac syncing wirelessly with my Droid (both ways). Prefer it to be part of my whole database management system, but willing to separate.
What would you do? (Moving away from Entourage is an option, but not the best one). I hate the thought of being tied to a web based system - i.e. Google.
I will reluctantly consider manual syncing. Any ideas out there?
OmniFocus looks awesome, but have not taken time to see what sync issues are. I know they have app for IPhone, but that is 2 years away and I hate AT&T. Thanks

I, Michael BennettPolice officers shot Detective Michael Bennett arrests an infamous Mexican crime lord in a deadly chase that leaves Bennett's lifelong friend Hughie McDonough dead. From jail, the prisoner vows to rain epic violence down upon New York City-and to get revenge on Michael Bennett. Judges murdered To escape the chaos, Bennett takes his ten kids and their beautiful nanny, Mary Catherine, on a much-needed vacation to his family's cabin near Newburgh, New York. But instead of the calm and happy town he remembers from growing up, they step into a nightmare worse than they could have ever imagined. Newburgh is an inferno of warring gangs, and there's little the police-or Bennett-can do to keep the children safe. Target: Michael Bennett As violence overwhelms the state, Bennett is torn between protecting his hometown and saving New York City. A partner in his investigations, federal prosecutor Tara McLellan, brings him new weapons for the battle-and an attraction that endangers his relationship with Mary Catherine. A no-holds-barred, pedal-to-the-floor, action-packed novel, I, Michael Bennett is James Patterson at his most personal and most thrilling best. |

Message-id: | <email@example.com> |
Dear all, maybe the last chance to have a decent connection until
next Thursday!
I provide here some thoughts at the generic level, since the
technical level is not going to be the main focus of the summit
anyway. I'll do my best to participate in the two sessions as
At 23:59 +0100 10-03-2006, Nicola Guarino wrote:
There are eight invited panelists and any decisions by the panelists needs to be taken as a group. At this point, it does not appear that a majority of the eight panelists will agree that the "three formal upper ontologies" should have some priority in Tuesday's meeting. If five of the panelists agree to Adam's Tuesday agenda, I would support those changes. Raising too many issues on which ontologies should be discussed
and on the technical (un)feasibility of relating them is not the best
idea for me. As a matter fact, the major (justified) complaint against
the UO solution to interoperability is that none will (hopely) impose
the best partition of the world in logical terms, and that UOers like
discussions more than real world applications ;).
On the other hand, showing that there exist good practices, with
practical applications, of UO creation and use, seems a reasonable
Well, concerning the other five UO besides OpenCyc, SUMO and DOLCE, let me clarify that: 1. DOLCE is rather different from BFO, and developed totally independently of it. Indeed, in our final WonderWeb Deliverable http://wonderweb.semanticweb.org/deliverables/documents/D18.pdf, we present BFO as *ONE* of the modules of the WonderWeb library of foundational ontologies, and we attempt a comparison with DOLCE, wich turned out to be difficult at that time since the BFO formalization work was still in progress. Since then, I know that BFO has evolved, but I am not aware of a stable formalized version. Despite this, there are certainly strong similarities between the two ontologies, and the two research groups have been pretty much in touch. 2. D&S is a specialization of DOLCE especially developed to account for "socially constructed" entities. It adds to DOLCE some high-level entities such as "Descriptions", and a number of middle-level entities useful for a wide range of applications. In addition, while working on D&S Aldo has introduced the notion of "Ontology Design Patterns", which a compact renderings of a set of interrelated notions useful for a certain class of applications. These are two different issues.
D&S is a constructivist ontology, meaning that it does not
put restrictions on the type of things and relations that someone
wants to postulate, either as a domain specification, or as an upper
ontology. Postulated types and relations are said to be the
"ground vocabulary".
On the contrary, D&S provides means to "redescribe"
things and relations from another viewpoint.
This approach has cognitive foundations like the RR
(Representational Redescription) theory by Annette Karmiloff-Smith,
Nozick's "invariances", schemas from cognitive semantics,
From the logical viewpoint, D&S takes seriously the task of
providing a vocabulary for logical reification, e.g. a description can
be seen as the reification of an (even polymorphic) intensional
relation, a situation can be seen as the reification of an extensional
relationship, a concept can be seen as the reification of an
intensional class, a collection can be seen as the reification of an
extensional class, and so on (reification of intensional vs
extensional entities must be interpreted as in Galton's type- vs.
From the traditional upper ontology talk, D&S quantifies on
social entities: methods, plans, norms, situations, cases,
organizations, collectives, tasks, roles, parameters, etc.
The current OWL encoding of D&S assumes DOLCE as a ground
top-level vocabulary (DOLCE seems well suited to accomodate for the
large reification vocabulary of D&S, see Masolo et al. KR2004
paper on social descriptions), and in this form D&S has been
applied to several ontology projects.
--Content Ontology Design Patterns (Codeps)
Codeps are recently proposed creatures (there is a paper of mine
at ISWC 2005, but some preliminary material has circulated for two
years), which provide a framework to annotate "focused"
fragments of a reference ontology.
A focused fragment is a part of an ontology that only contains
the types and relations that underly "expert reasoning".
Notably, Codeps can be very general, like the *Participation* pattern
in DOLCE; at the core level, like the *Norm<->Case* pattern in
legal ontologies like CLO (an extension of DOLCE+DnS); or very
specific, like a certain protein interaction pattern in a bio
Codeps can be specialized, composed, etc., but they remain
dependent on the original reference ontologies for full blown
Codeps can be partly related to other ideas and theories, like
Peter Clark's "knowledge patterns", data modelling patterns,
and the OWL design patterns proposed by the SWBPD W3C working group.
They will be exploited in the newly started NeOn EU project:
http://www.neon-project.org, which also addresses the issues that I
mention herewith.
Concerning some of the communication aspects discussed in these
days, I strongly favour a communique that makes tolerant claims
concerning UO.
In my opinion, provided their suitability to a certain task, and
their structural/formal well-formedness (at least to a certain
degree), more than one UO can be more or less equally
Differences will be made by varied aspects: user feedback,
availability of use cases driven by them, accessibility in tractable
languages, etc.
I see several ways of relating ontologies.
At a macro-level, two ontologies can be both valid for a certain
task if they can act as references for the relevant patterns of
expertise (similar Codeps in my terms), if they provide the structure
to draw certain inferences or to answer certain queries, etc. etc. At
the macro-level, ontologies can be related across their focused
At a micro-level, two ontologies can only be related if their
fine axiomatic granularity is taken into account. The micro-level can
be addressed within different time frames from those of the
In other words, relating ontologies can be also undertaken as the
pragmatic issue of having selection criteria for them, which
paramtrize their patterns or "hubs" of types and relations,
e.g. by matching them to user needs.
Sorry for the many issues raised into one email, but that's my
two cents by now, on which I can tell something next week.
Good luck

Its a sound a guitar makes.
well, RB needs to expand it's audience or it will keep shrinking as it has been. i think the pro instruments, and pro guitar in particular, was an attempt to expand the appeal of RB beyond just the party game crowd or the hardcore button mashers, to people who actually want to learn instruments. that might be too small a niche to significantly enhance the game's appeal, but if it had been implemented better, we'd have a better idea of whether it could have succeeded or not. whatever RB's excuse for implementing pro guitar the way they did (and i don't buy the lag thing, RS seems to have proven the lag issue could be overcome, but who knows if HMX was even aware of or looked into licensing the technology that UBI licensed for RS?), i think the end result is that RB3 pro guitar ended up, at best, as a relatively insignificant niche that may well be overshadowed by this new game, and i can't think that's what they had in mind for it when they decided to put it in RB3.
Yeah, I still get tempted to get one of their guitars even though I REALLY don't need another guitar. I'd do some research on various web forums for the styles you are interested in, I only looked into the Tele and Les Paul styles. Additionally, I've mostly heard about the SX and Agile lines, but not much about the Douglas line that is kind of in the middle of those two. I've heard that the owner of Rondo Music is pretty good with customer service and taking care of issues if there are any.
They have an e-bay store in addition to their website, sometimes you can find different colors on ebay than they have available on their site.
Edit: when bass support becomes available for Rocksmith, I will definitely be taking a close look at their Basses.
Edit #2: It's also worth noting that the Agile Les Paul and SG derivatives have set necks vs the bolt-on necks of the epiphones
Last edited by Funk-n-stein; 10-21-2011 at 03:19 PM.
HMX knew only a small crowd would go for the guitar learning, and they tried it out. In all honesty I don't know if they can expand the audience anymore. RB3 to many felt like a big tech demo instead of solid game overall.
They don't always need something wildly different to attract people, but that's apparently how they're thinking in terms of RB. In that manner it's hit and miss. Those returning/continuing for something familiar won't find it... and if it keeps going the unregognizeable route it'll loose more if it goes further and further away. And unless the 'new' thing is the bestest thing ever, it'll be hard to get new players too.
As for Rocksmiths' popularity in the long run. Wait and see what happens. Don't worry too much about it totally covering up something in another game. Besides RS isn't going to compare itself to RB3, it's like buying a Lexus and them outright telling you the Toyota Avalon is a Lexus in disguise....business would probably drop.
Yes, I still do want to see another RB game in hopes to revive the love.
requiring the player to play notes/chords in a specific position is overrated. with pro mode, we're dealing with actual music now, not just pressing buttons to get a score. who cares if the note gets played on a B string or an E string? does anyone ever listen to a song and say "that B chord played in 7th position sounded terrible, but if he'd played it at the 2nd fret instead it would've been AWESOME!"? nevermind the fact that pro mode itself is so lax that you can usually get away with only playing a few notes of a chord instead of the whole thing, not muting strings or chords that are supposed to be muted, etc. so in lots of ways, RB3 lets you get away with more "wrong" playing than RS, which scores you based on how you sound and not how you choose to produce that sound, does. and by forcing you to fret harmonics and not allowing you to bend notes, RB3 actually forces you to play the wrong notes a lot of the time as well.
It has been stated that RS can tell the difference between the open A string and the A produced at the 5th fret of the low E string, etc. Has anyone said that it will accept the open G chord when it asked for the barre chord that sounds similar?
RB3 pro guitar is a brilliant acheivement (and I think that the position wave notation is particularly cool), but it falls flat in terms of teaching people to play. You can do things while holding strings down at all the frets it's asking you to which will sound like crap if played aloud; you can get through an entire song playing in a fashion that would render the tune unrecognizable if you'd performed it out loud. Since you can't play out loud while playing the game for a score the player isn't encouraged to listen to himself play, whereas in RS he can't avoid it. To my mind, RS has far higher potential as a teaching tool. It gives me minigames and a slew of technique challenges; drills like these are something that I was looking for in RB3 which it largely failed to deliver.
On the other hand, RB3 ***** slaps RS in terms of presentation. Navigation through RS is bizarre and annoying. Dealing with its song list is hard now--I can't imagine what it'll be like when there are even 100 songs in my library, much less the 650-and-growing RB songs that I have now.
Mike Scott, San Diego, CA, USA (XBL: MikeHellion, PSN: MarcHellion)
Generally, this has been said, but one of the many reviews I've read so far implied that this wasn't the case. Of course, that person may have needed to correct his/her guitar's intonation.
In terms of what the Squier is capable of, I do feel that RB3's pro guitar system leans toward the side of simulation instead of authentically playing the songs or learning guitar. I do love pro guitar as a whole though and don't see how Harmonix could have done it very differently without making the game largely unfamiliar to existing RB gamers. Screen space for multiplayer is one example. If Harmonix didn't have to keep the game playable for so many people at once, pro keys could have easily accepted six octaves and allowed for two handed keys charting.
"Why can't I use any guitar for Rock Band 3 like I can in RockSmith?"
"Well, Rock Band is trying to do something different, so they aren't..."
I may check out the Bass functionality come summertime provided (a) RockSmith is still going at that point, (b) the bass functionality has been added as DLC, and (c) I can afford a bass.

Comments about U.S. General Mini Toolbox Gift Tin:
It's a little tricky to find a housing for an Arduino project. This box is a great fit for an Arduino and one or more shields plus mounting space for connectors, switches and lights on the end. This is a low cost solution for keeping the project neat. And the included cute little carrying handle accessory is just the cat's meow. It makes your project portable. :-)

It's a happening weekend in New Albany as the community's biggest annual event, Tallahatchie RiverFest, spotlights our community and its downtown.
The situation with the American Red Cross operation in New Albany continues to deteriorate with the resignation of Sally Zemek, the local part-time staff member.
One of the area's favorite events for families with young children takes place Friday and Saturday at the Union County Heritage Museum.
It's an exciting time in the world of New Albany and Union County tourism with the announcement last week that the Tanglefoot Trail is on its way to becoming a reality.
Early survey response from New Albany students about a program requiring them to do summer reading is somewhat negative. Is anyone surprised?
The key to the state's economic future depends largely on increasing the educational level of our citizens.
The results of Mississippi standardized tests in the schools have been released and they generally show decent scores for both New Albany city schools and Union County schools.
Gov. Haley Barbour has done the right thing and acknowledged that he was mistaken when he lashed out against a bill passed by Congress and signed by President Obama that will provide as much as $250 million to Mississippi schools.
The revelation that three New Albany employees and a member of the Board of Alderman had been given special treatment in the handling of unpaid utility bills should concern all city residents.
School is underway in both New Albany and Union County and it's time to make our annual plea to drivers to be extra careful.
Gov. Harley Barbour again has let his partisanship as head of the National Republican Governors Conference get in the way of the needs of Mississippians.
I was struggling to get the tent up. The front was sagging and it was barely big enough for two people to squeeze in.
Well, it's over. And I have to admit, it was better than I expected. I'm talking about my wife's 40th high-school reunion in Independence, Ky., a suburb of Cincinnati.
Being a grandparent comes naturally to some people. I am not one of them.
The pressure is on at our house. We've made no real progress and there are only 10 days left.
I had no idea ya'll were so much fun! When I rushed home after work on Friday, I didn't feel much like going out again. At the end of the week, I'm usually ready to loaf.
A significant increase in New Albany sales tax collections is welcome news as the city begins work on its budget for the coming fiscal year.
Dear Editor:
Over the past few months, I have received several mail-outs from Congressman Travis Childers citing his support of various programs or projects.
Last week I had the opportunity to go to the Union County Fair with the clients and staff of New Haven School. This was the first school trip on the new bus!
Let me start by saying I'm technology challenged. But I try. That's how I happened to be in the electronics store Saturday asking for something called an SD card for a video camera. "Is it high def?" the young clerk asked, probably knowing all the time that I would have no clue.

Kessel signs long-term deal with Toronto Maple Leafs
Maple Leafs' Kessel, Sabres' Rolston disciplined for brawl
Toronto's David Clarkson slapped with 10-game suspension
Philip Joseph Kessel, Jr. (born October 2, 1987) is an American professional ice hockey forward currently playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Kessel is a product of USA Hockey's National Development Team and became that program's all-time leader for goals and points in his final 2004–05 year. Kessel finished his amateur career by playing collegiate hockey for the University of Minnesota in the WCHA. He was the fifth-overall pick of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, taken by the Boston Bruins. In his rookie season, he was awarded the prestigious Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.
Kessel had an outstanding 2004–05 junior season, one in which many NHL scouts ranked him as a prospect comparable to Sidney Crosby (and one of The Next Ones). Born in October, Kessel missed the 2005 NHL Entry Draft cutoff by only one month. However, in 2005–06, Kessel experienced several setbacks that hurt his ranking as a prospect. Considered the most talented player on the favored United States team in the 2006 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, he scored only one goal and the team finished in fourth. His college performance was less spectacular than expected; by season's end he was playing third-line minutes for a loaded Minnesota Golden Gophers squad, though he did score 18 goals and finish with 51 total points, a solid season for a freshman forward.
Kessel was still viewed highly enough that he was drafted fifth overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by the Boston Bruins. Prior to the draft he dropped in ranking from first to second place among the North American skaters and in the final ranking he was ranked fourth among the North American skaters. At one point during his draft year he was projected to be the number 1 overall pick but was ultimately surpassed by Erik Johnson and then continued to drop.

Aside from distant metastases, cervical nodal
metastases are the worst prognostic indicator for survival in patients with
head and neck carcinoma. Presence of
nodal metastases decreases survival by fifty percent. Surgical therapy for cervical metastases has
evolved over the past two centuries. In
the early 19th century, the presence of nodal metastases indicated
incurable disease. As surgical technique
improved into the late 19th and early 20th century,
surgeons began to advocate treatment of nodal mets. Kocher advocated wide margin lymphadenectomy
and also recommended that the submandibular triangle always be dissected in patients
with lingual cancer. The first published
account of en bloc tumor and lymph node resection along with non-lymphatic
structures was performed by Jawdynski in 1888. (1)
In 1905 and 1906 Crile's description of en bloc lymphadenectomy became the standard operation for the majority of the 20th century. This operation removed the submandibular salivary gland, internal jugular vein, greater auricular and spinal accessory nerves, as well as the digastric, stylohyoid, and sternocleidomastoid muscles. In 1926 Bartlett and Callander advocated preservation of non-lymphatic structures (XI, internal jugular vein (IJV), sternocleidomastoid (SCM), platysma, stylohyoid, digastric), citing similar rates of recurrence when compared to more inclusive or radical procedures. Blair and Brown maintained that lymphadenectomy could not be complete without sparing the accessory nerve in 1933. In 1951, Martin et al reviewed 1450 cases of en bloc lymphadenectomy. He concluded that complete cervical lymphadenectomy was impossible without concomitant removal of the IJV, SCM and XI. Martin's refinement of Crile's 1906 operation became the template for the modern radical neck dissection.
As Martin advocated radical neck dissection (RND) in
Management of the N0 neck has been debated
since the 19th century. In
1885, Butlin questioned radical neck dissection for N0 disease. Solis-Cohen recommended lymphadenectomy in N0
patients with laryngeal carcinomas in 1901.
Until the late 20th century, RND was the primary surgical
therapy for nodal mets. With the advent
of the FND, the frequency of RND has decreased but still remains the gold
standard to which all other therapies are compared to. In the 1960's, MD Anderson physicians began
to advocate selective removal of high risk nodal basins depending on the
primary tumor site. In the last thirty
years, the trend towards more conservative surgical therapy has been
accompanied by improved efficacy of radiation therapy. Currently, surgical therapy for clinically
positive nodal metastases will consist of a modified radical neck dissection or
radical neck dissection depending on the involvement of tumor with any
non-lymphatic structures. In general
selective neck dissections are performed more as staging procedures for
patients with N0 disease.
Since cervical anatomy is complex, there are many ways
to divide the neck into different triangles and zones. The lymphatics in the head and neck are
extensive and there can be up to 300 lymph nodes in specimens depending on the
patient's age. A more detailed
description of pertinent cervical anatomy can be found in prior ground rounds. Evaluation
of nodal drainage patterns and primary tumor locations by the Sloan-Kettering
Memorial Group has helped standardize the nomenclature in regard to cervical
nodal basins. The cervical nodes are
divided into six groups which have been further divided into subgroups. A brief outline of the boundaries and regions
which drain primarily into each level follows:
Level I: Submental and submandibular nodes

The "N" or nodal classification for cervical metastasis is consistent for all mucosal sites except the nasopharynx. Thyroid and nasopharyngeal carcinomas have unique nodal classifications that are based upon tumor behavior and prognosis. The staging systems for cervical metastases have been established by the American Joint Committee on Cancer. These systems are based on the best possible estimate of the extent of disease before first treatment. Clinical information including physical exam and imaging modalities are used to contribute to this estimate.

In order to communicate effectively between institutions and compare data related to surgical procedures, a classification scheme for neck dissections has been endorsed by the American Society for Head and Neck Surgery. The nomenclature uses the radical neck dissection as the standard which all other modifications are compared to. Preservation of any combination of the IJV, SCM or XI is a modified radical neck dissection (MRND). Preservation of lymphatic groups normally removed in a RND is a selective neck dissection. An extended neck dissection removes any structure or additional lymph node groups normally preserved in a RND.
Radical Neck Dissection
The radical neck dissection is the gold standard for oncologic treatment of lymph node metastasis in the neck. It involves removal of all lymphatics from levels I-V. In addition, removal of non-lymphatic structures including the spinal accessory nerve, the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the internal jugular vein is carried out. It does not include removal of the postauricular and suboccipital nodes, periparotid nodes except for a few nodes located in the tail of the parotid gland, the perifacial and buccinator nodes, the retropharyngeal nodes, and the paratracheal nodes.
Modified Radical Neck Dissection
Modified radical neck dissection involves excision of the same lymph node bearing tissues from one side of the neck as is performed in a RND with the preservation of one or more non-lymphatic structure including the spinal accessory nerve, the IJV, or the SCM.
Selective Neck Dissection
There are several types of selective neck dissection. They focus on removing the highest risk nodal groups depending on the site of the primary tumor. The Supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOHND) removes levels I-III and is performed in patients with oral cavity primaries, Merkel cell carcinoma, some melanoma of the face and SCCA of the parotid. Bilateral SOHND are considered with anterior oral cavity and cutaneous lesions along with lateral lesions that approach or cross the midline. The lateral neck dissection removes levels II-IV. It is performed for patients with oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal or laryngeal primaries. The posterolateral neck dissection removes levels II-IV, suboccipital and postauricular nodes. It is performed primarily for patients with cutaneous lesions on the posterior scalp or neck. Then anterior neck dissection removes the anterior compartment (level VI) and is indicated in some types of differentiated thyroid carcinoma, parathyroid carcinoma, subglottic carcinoma, and lesions of the cervical esophagus.
Extended Neck Dissection
The extended neck dissection removes any lymphatic or non-lymphatic structure that is usually preserved in a RND or MRND. Examples include removal of parapharyngeal nodes along with a pharyngectomy specimen. Removal of the carotid artery with reconstruction may be attempted in some circumstances. Preoperative balloon occlusion may be performed to determine if the patient can tolerate carotid ligation without reconstruction.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
The role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in head and neck carcinoma is still being established. It has been effective in the treatment of melanoma of the head and neck but its role in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity or pharynx is still being developed.
The central tenet of sentinel lymph node biopsy is that a primary tumor will spread via lymphatics to a primary node. Examination of the primary node for tumor then directs the need for further surgical management of the nodal basins. The evolution of the sentinel node concept began in 1955 when the concept of the first echelon node was introduced. Gould coined the term "sentinel node" in 1960 and the first successful sentinel node biopsy was performed in 1977 in a patient with penile cancer. The concept was revived by Morton in 1992 and applied to N0 melanoma. Since then, it has become the standard for treatment of N0 melanoma and breast cancer.
Application of sentinel node biopsy to the head and neck has not been as feasible as its application to the trunk and extremities. O'Brien delineated four drawbacks to its application to the head and neck:
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been successfully performed in patients with cutaneous malignancies of the head and neck. Since 1996 several investigators have displayed the feasibility of SLNB in squamous cell carcinoma of the pharynx and oral cavity. The first reported use was in the hypopharynx. Since then more investigators have focused on N0 disease for patients with oral cavity SCCA. There are multiple small case series that display the feasibility of SLNB in these patients although no there are no standardized techniques between institutions. All the series compare the efficacy of pre op lymphoscintigraphy, intraoperative localization with the gamma probe with or without blue dye and the results of final pathology for the completed neck dissection specimens.
Pre operative techniques for SLNB include injection with a radiotracer. The tracer has to be able to be taken up by the lymphatics but large enough to remain in them to make detection possible. Technetium is the most commonly used radiotracer. It is injected submucosally in quadrants surrounding the tumor one day prior to surgery. The total dose injected does not affect the ability to locate sentinel nodes on lymphoscintigraphy according to a recent meta-analysis. The use of local anesthetic is debated because some investigators feel it may affect tracer uptake. Spillage of the tracer should be avoided in the oral cavity at time of injection.
About 45 – 60 minutes following tracer injection the patient should undergo dynamic lymphoscintigraphy followed by static lymphoscintigraphy. Typically a sentinel node can be seen within fifteen minutes during the dynamic imaging. AP, lateral and oblique static images help confirm the dynamic imaging and delayed static images reveal sentinel nodes when the dynamic images are non-revealing. Using a cobalt pencil to mark landmarks like the mandible, chin, cricoid and sternal notch also aid in localizing the node.
Not all investigators use blue dye to help locate sentinel nodes. Those that do use it inject the dye about 20 minutes prior to surgery. Intraoperative gamma probes are used in conjunction with the dye to localize the sentinel nodes. A distant site on the patient is scanned to record the background levels. Then the operative bed is inspected with the probe and high signal nodes removed. Once removed, the node is probed away from the patient and then the counts are compared to the wound bed. If there is a significant drop after the node is excised, then it is sent to pathology for fine cut frozen section. All other nodes that have counts of 10% or more of the original node are also removed. Depending on the site of the primary, a lead malleable may be useful in shielding the tracer counts from floor of mouth tumors and nodes in level I. Sometimes it is useful to excise the primary tumor to remove any interfering signals. Overall, sentinel nodes are able to be located in more than 90% of cases but this success is highly user dependent. A European survey found that surgeons with less than ten cases only had a 56% success rate in finding sentinel nodes. When sentinel nodes are located, there are usually 2-3 nodes present and occult malignancy has been reported to be as high as 46%. Overall there is about a 10% false negative rate which was associated with larger primary tumors (T3) and could be due to gross nodal involvement rather than microscopic tumor metastases.
Complications for SLNB are reported to be less than one percent. All of the complications have been reported in cutaneous malignancy primaries. Almost all complications are related to limited incisions and subsequent facial nerve damage.
Trials are ongoing to evaluate the efficacy of
sentinel node biopsy in N0 oral
SCCA when compared to watchful waiting or elective treatment of the neck with surgery
or radiation.

The short story is of a strict, problematic nature; its code could be the following:
A.) A discretional limit of six characters.
B.) The declaration of all the terms of the problem.
C.) An avaricious economy of means.
D.) The priority of how over who.
E.) A reticence concerning death.
F.) A solution that is both necessary and marvelous.
The books in this room could not be read, not a second time.
I chose another volume from the shelf. Again, there was no title to the book, and even more of the pages had words missing from them. Some of the pages were almost completely blank.
'Please, do be careful,' said the attendant.
I turned to a page where most of the words were still present, and then started to read.
'Hence the potency of Bowie's impact on England: the marriage of alien and dandy giving birth to the ultimate outsider figure for the modern age, the queer messiah from space...'
Again I had to stop. Seeing the words disappear from the pages like this, it brought only a sadness.

President's Message
Our ride began with an idea from our very brave terminally ill beloved friend, The late Michael Tye. Michael passed away after a long courageous battle against Multiple Myeloma Cancer. His idea was simple - A One day ride from Boston (Harbor) to Provincetown (Bay) with very low overhead, no salaries and a commitment that 100% of all rider pledges go directly to support our fight against HIV.In 2003 Michael Tye and handful of Club Café staff and dedicated friends who shared our dream set out to launch the 1st Harbor to the Bay 126 mile, 1 day, AIDS bike ride.

DMA07 and Nonprofit Federation: Donor-Focused Nonprofit Day Sessions to Add Value
August 29, 2007 With the Web, todays consumers are more informed and more in control. Consequently, donors, too, are more informed and in control. Certainly, in this interactive environment, donors expectations have risen. And with increasing competition for donor attention, knowing which marketing strategies work best to raise support is all the more essential for todays nonprofit professional.
So at DMA07 Conference & Exhibition on Tuesday, October 16, a day after business icon and author Kenneth Cole presents a keynote presentation about fusing fashion marketing with social action, nonprofit professionals will have a golden opportunity to spend a day honing their charitable skills in ways that will help bolster their organizations fundraising endeavors in todays multichannel marketplace.
DMA07, the six-day multichannel event of the year for nonprofit as well as for-profit marketers, will be held from October 1318 at Chicagos McCormick Place West.
Nonprofits can learn many lessons and gain insights from the commercial perspective, said Xenia Senny Boone, who serves as the executive director of the Nonprofit Federation of the Direct Marketing Association (DMANF) and DMA vice president and special counsel. DMA07 will keep nonprofit professionals ahead of the fundraising curve in todays rapidly evolving marketplace. In one information-packed day, we have put together two nonprofit sessions and a networking event specifically for nonprofit attendees at a special rate.
Nonprofit Day
Tuesday, October 16 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
At this special day of nonprofit programming, dynamic, informative sessions will focus on the issues key to nonprofit marketers. Attendees will also have the opportunity to roam the extensive DMA07 Exhibit Hall, which will showcase more than 550 state-of-the-art solution providers.
· Advanced Fundraising: Building Long-term Supporters
David Lawson, Vice President, Market Strategy, Kintera
11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Nonprofit organizations need more than triage fundraising drives. Lifelong donors help support long-term goals, and this DMA07 Nonprofit Day session will discuss the future of direct marketing and fundraising by looking at current and future tools and analyzing their potential use in tomorrows fundraising efforts. Just as commercial businesses do, nonprofits can use the advances in technology and direct marketing strategy to increase fundraising success as marketing evolves.
· Email Deliverability: Out of the Bulk Mail Folder and Into the Inbox
Bill Pease, PhD, Chief Scientist, Convio
2:45 to 4 p.m.
Its difficult for nonprofit organizations to raise money if potential donors dont know the charitable groups need funds. Email filters, spam, and deliverability issues can stop worthy communications including fundraising appeals from reaching the recipients inbox. This DMA07 Nonprofit Day session discusses the ever-changing rules of email marketing, including what nonprofits can do today to ensure that their organization is not labeled as a spammer. Topics covered will include the importance of being whitelisted and email authentication.
Nonprofit Federation Networking Reception
Tuesday, October 16 4 to 5 p.m.
After the intellectual workout of DMA07s Nonprofit Day, cool down begins immediately. Join the Nonprofit Federation for a special networking reception geared for nonprofit fundraisers and colleagues, where attendees will have the chance to relax and compare notes with fellow attendees and nonprofit professionals. The fun begins at 4 p.m.
Capacity for this special networking event is limited, so please be sure to sign up early! RSVP to Helen Lee at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202.861.2496. Reservations will be accepted until October 1.

This is the fifth route from the left. This route starts right of Sea Breeze, and stays so close to it that it's not totally clear where one is supposed to climb to avoid the holds on that route. Very contrived.
3 bolts, joins Sea Breeze. 5 bolts in all.
I did this route a few months ago, and seemed like a fun climb - i.e., I TRd it, and wanted to come back and lead it. Went back last weekend, and tried it again, and I am convinced that a crimper toward the top has BROKEN OFF - after you move right from the vertical seam, above bolt #3, I think. There are good crimpers for both hands on the height of the 3rd bolt, and a long armsreach above, a new, blank piece of rock that seems to be where the next hold was last time. I'd be interested to see what other people say.
Walt - The route is called "The Minstrel". As for the previous comment. I am not sure thay anything has broken off, there is a small crimp and the feet can be worked up a little higher perhaps for you to reach the holds just a little bit out of reach before you join back in with Seabreeze. Head back and try it again, just use the higher feet on the slab.
This one gets my vote for Most Contrived route at the Riviera for which there are several contenders. Do Sea Breeze, which is excellent, and skip this one.
This was kinda contrived. Climb up the corner, clip a few bolts moving up the face on thin crimps. Right next to Sea Breeze so it's tough to keep to one route. Sea breeze is better. CL
It may well be "The Minstrel." Note, however, that "Mistral" is much more in keeping thematically with both "Riviera" and "Sea Breeze." Since Rossiter lists it as "Mistral," it's probably useful to list it as an alias for folks that are cross referencing MP to printed guides, and for "Mistral" to appear in the text of this page so it shows up in a search. I didn't find it difficult to keep this route and Sea Breeze separate--I pretty much climbed the bolted line, and so stayed clearly (though not dramatically) right of Sea Breeze, mostly centered on the short face. As such, this route was, for me, definitely the more difficult of the two (and earned its 11a rating).
As of today this route is a little harder. My friend hulked out and broke off the third or fourth crimp before the first bolt.
Shares too much real estate with Sea Breeze and Au Natural.

Product 12/13
Gay male romantic thriller. U.S. diplomat Chet Bender saves young Nabil Shabili in an extraction from Palestinian refugee camps inside Lebanon, in the shadow of an impending Israeli attack that will lead to a massacre in the camps. He subsequently accepts Nabil into his life, bed, and heart. Nearly twenty years later, Nabil is in the running to take the presidency of Lebanon and the forces promoting this rise are busy cleaning up loose ends in his past. And one of those loose ends is Chet.
And on that first trip you made to the camps, you met Nabil? Malcolm Moorhead asked, in his familiar voice. Familiar to millions of viewers, his weekly show was one of the top-rated programs in the States.
Yes. Yes, we didnt fill all the seats with the people we had come to get. A lot wouldnt believe us and wouldnt leave.
I sipped some water from the glass on the small table beside me, remembering that day. Still vivid after nearly twenty years. Grateful now that I was letting it all flow out of mewell, most of the story at least. I kept a large part of what Nabil was to me withheld. It was something that Malcolm Moorhead was interested in doing this interview for his show after all these years. It would be more interesting, but surely banned, if I told him the full story. And the full truth would mean disaster to Nabil. That was what I had to come to grips with before the interview: what I wanted for Nabil.
I was not supposed to be there alone, but we were suddenly without the Marine who was supposed to drive the busand to back me up in case of trouble. On such short notice, I went alone that time because I knew how to drive the bus and we were under a time constraintthe Israelis had given us a very small window of opportunityand there was no one else at hand who could go with me.
Moorhead sat across from me, cameras going, and him giving that welcoming, sympathetic look he so professionally had mastered.
I had been driving one at home, in the States, before I took my first foreign assignment, I continued. A church youth group bus. The call to go to the camps came in for this quick extraction trip into the camps, and my usual driver was off sick with stomach flu. So, either I went alone, or the mercy trip was canceled. I would have gone anyway. I determined who got on the bus. Now, however, it was just me, no one else to share the responsibility and the horror with me.
I realized I was repeating myself and talking in circles. I wanted to convey how much more terrifying it was to be doing this alone that timewhich, I think went far in causing me to lower my guard where Nabil was concernedbut I was making a hash of this, so I just clamped my jaw shut and hoped that Moorhead would ask a question that moved me out of this failed attempt to make him and his viewers understand the full horror of what Id experienced.
And when did you first see him?
Nabil? I frowned, After a couple of hours I knew some of those on the list were never coming with me, so I began to say yes to anyone who looked like they could fill someone elses place. Similar age, sex, look. I had papers for every seat. There were quite a few young men who stood around looking at us. It got quite scary. They no doubt were combatantsthe ones the Israelis wanted to neutralize. Ones who would cause me trouble at the checkpoints if I tried to get them through. But old people would queue up asking if I would take their sons, saying their sons had futures if they could only get out of the camps. How could I tell them that it was their sons who had brought the destruction down on the camps? Then this young man turned up and said, Who would want to go with you? Who trusts you?
