- If you have previously used the LMU Pre-Professional Advisory Committee you may request a copy of your Committee evaluation be sent to the professional schools to which you are re-applying. Only your composite committee evaluation will be sent; faculty letters cannot be sent again by this office. The request form to release a copy of your committee evaluation can be picked up in the Academic Affairs Office, 201 Duke Hall. This can only be done the following year after your file is reviewed by the Committee. Under no circumstances will the re-applicant be reviewed again by the Committee.
- It is very important to get your application in early.
- As a reapplicant, it is in your best interest to solicit new faculty letters to be submitted directly to the schools to which you are applying. These letters of evaluation should be written on departmental/individual letterhead and not on the Committee faculty evaluation form.
- You should also know that it is generally considered a big "NO-NO" to enroll in a graduate program that you do "NOT" intend to complete.
- It is usually best to schedule an appointment at the professional school in the summer to discuss how you can improve your application for the following year.

Global Accessibility Awareness Day: Getting the Word Out
Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. To mark the day and promote the goal of the day, groups of developers and designers interested in accessibility offer webinars, presentations, and networking events to interest and educate more people about why accessibility is important and how to address accessibility in web content, documents, and software.
Keep Designing for Easy Interaction
Sarah Horton and Whitney Quesenbery's article last week includes a lot of accessibility concepts that we thought people might want to dig into a little deeper, so we assembled a few key resources that may be of interest.
Flash MX: Moving Toward Accessible Rich Media
Andrew Kirkpatrick of the CPB/WGBH National Center for Accessible Media tackles Flash MX from the developer's perspective, showing how authors can more easily generate accessible Flash content, and where roadblocks remain.

PAIGE SUTHERLAND Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — An FBI agent says two friends of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) signed consent forms before being interviewed by investigators.
Special Agent Farbod Azad said in federal court on Wednesday that the two were read their rights and told that they were not under arrest. Another agent testified that he told them they could leave if wanted.
According to documents shown in court, Dias Kadyrbayev (DY'-us kah-dur-BY'-ehv) signed consent for the FBI to search his car, apartment and laptop.
Kadyrbayev is charged with tampering with evidence for removing Tsarnaev's laptop and a backpack containing fireworks from his University of Massachusetts Dartmouth dorm room.
His attorney argues that his client was interviewed involuntarily and his apartment illegally searched. He is fighting to keep Kadyrbayev's statement out of his September trial.
Kadyrbayev will likely testify Thursday.

We carry a variety of kids lamps and lamp shades at affordable prices. You may already have a ceiling light or floor lamp in your child's bedroom, but a kids table lamp is still very useful. Think of the quiet time right before bed as you read your child a story. A smaller bedroom table lamp is just perfect for this, and quick for the child to turn on and off from the bed. Our kids lighting is perfect for all the time your son or daughter spends in their bedroom. They might use it for a little playtime, reading, or looking for a lost toy. If you have already purchased a children's bedroom lamp, you can select from the many kids lamp shades we have available on this page.
We pride ourselves on our wide selection of kids bedding. Many of our bedding sets feature coordinating accessories, and a matching bedroom lamp is common. For that reason, many of the kids lamp shades and lamps below coordinate with bedding sets on our site. If you are just starting to decorate your child's bedroom, you might consider browsing our selection of toddler, twin, full or queen bedding first and selecting coordinating kids bedroom lighting.

Best of ShadesCool sunglasses for hot cities
Summer, Sun, Vacation. With these new sunglasses the next city trip will be a feast for the eyes.
Large lenses and round shapes are the key elements of the elegant look of the new models, with a touch of retro from the 70s and 80s also playing an important role. We've researched the perfect locations for you to show off your new eyewear – the most beautiful suntraps of the most stylish cities:
Shaded views in Cannes
The glamorous look of these BOSS Womenswear Sunglasses demands a big stage and is therefore perfect for a sunny day on France's luxury Côte d'Azur. The elegantly curved shape, the golden inlays on the temples featuring the logo and gradient gray-tinted lenses give any outfit that certain je ne sais quoi that's de rigueur when enjoying a cool refreshment, for example on the beachfront terrace of the Zplage Private Beach Restaurant. Healthy cuisine and ocean sounds are on the menu.
Shaded views in New York
With the transformation of New York's former elevated rail line into a park, High Line, the Big Apple has proven once again that urban landscape, modern age and nature can harmonize. The nonchalant look of this elegant pair of rounded BOSS Womenswear sunglasses in the style of the 70s is just perfect for a walk along this strip of green right in the middle of Manhattan. This model's highlight: the sunglasses' transparent acetate frame allows the metal temple to shine through in a subtle and classy manner.
Shaded views in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is Scandinavia's fashion capital and, as such, the ideal location to present the look of the latest HUGO sunglasses. The striking unisex model, available in several color combinations, is a tribute to the 80s and should appeal to men and women alike. Enjoy the stunning panoramic coastline either from the park of Museum Louisiana or from the leafy green garden of the trendy Mielcke & Hurtigkarl restaurant.
Shaded views in Milan
Milanese women are masters of the classic style and manage time and again to reinterpret it using fashionable details. The perfect eyewear for a stroll through the sunny Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli with a delicious ice cream from Milan's best gelateria Biancolatte in your hand, are the new BOSS Orange sunglasses. What at first looks like a simple brown and black toned frame, turns out to be a refined, two-part synthetic pair of glasses with the upper part resembling charmingly aged wood.
By the way, check out the best men's sunglasses styles for your travel companion here.

AMERKS SIGN DEFENSEMAN NICK BAILEN TO ATONews | 3/26/2013 10:24:27 AM | ROCHESTER AMERICANS
The Rochester Americans announced today that the team has signed defenseman Nick Bailen to an Amateur Tryout.
A native of Fredonia, NY, the 23-year-old Bailen recently completed his collegiate career at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Bailen led RPI in scoring this season with 31 points (12+19) in 35 games. His 12 goals and seven power play goals also tied for the team-lead. The 5-foot-9, 185-pound Bailen was a two-time All-ECAC First Team honoree (2010-11, 2012-13) and finished his college career with 105 points (33+72) in 149 games with RPI (2010-11 to 2012-13) and Bowling Green University (2008-09). Bailen also played four seasons with the Indiana Ice of the USHL.

TD Ameritrade (
TD Ameritrade Review
) is less expensive for active investors than Vanguard Brokerage (
Vanguard Review
): $9.99 per stock and ETF trade versus $20 ($7 for the first 25 trades) at Vanguard. While TD Ameritrade doesn't have annual, inactivity or maintenance fees, Vanguard charges $20 annual fee for accounts with less than $50,000 (waived if account is signed up for electronic statements).
Vanguard provides limited trading tools and research amenities. One of the main advantages the company offers is their own ETFs that clients could get commission-free. We also like free dividend reinvestment and an ability to dollar-cost-average mutual funds investing.
TD Ameritrade is better brokerage than Vanguard for beginner investors, offering easy access to online trader community, where users can ask questions, learn from more experienced members, and even get investment ideas. It also offers free virtual trading environment that allows users to practice trading without risking their money.

Copp On Fire by Don Pendleton
In this second book of Don Pendleton's best-selling Joe Copp mystery series of six novels, private investigator, Joe Copp's case pulls him into the corporate halls and backlots of Hollywood, behind the glamorous facade of the movie industry, where subjects of a stakeout are murdered. After an undercover narcotics officer is nearly killed, Copp is charged as an accomplice to murder, and is thrown into a real-life Hollywood scenario where death becomes the favorite plot device for the whole bloody show.
Publishers Weekly: "A throwback to the vintage Spillane era, Pendleton knows how to keep us turning the pages."
St. Petersburg Times: "Pendleton has a great new character in Copp. His style is fresh, the pace is brisk, and there are enough twists to please any mystery fan."
Library Journal: "Pendleton, author of the long-running paperback Executioner series, shows in his first hardcover that hardboiled writing can be insightful as well as action-packed."
ALA Booklist: "This is the real thing, the hardcover debut of the author of the perennially popular 'Executioner series'…the charm of the Executioner books."
Milwaukee Sentinel: "Pendleton is a master of action and dialog and 'Copp' is a taut detective story."
Published in Hardcover by Donald I. Fine Publishing, papereback by Warner Books. Published by Pendleton Artists in print and Kindle.
Don Pendleton is creator of the original The Executioner: Mack Bolan Series of Action/Adventure novels and is considered the "father of the Action/Adventure" literary genre. He also authored the Ashton Ford, Psychic Detective Series, SciFi and nonfiction books.

Driver profile: Heikki Kovalainen
Heikki Kovalainen says he joined Lotus - now Caterham - in 2010 to re-establish a reputation that had been somewhat damaged by two seasons alongside Lewis Hamilton at McLaren.
Kovalainen's stats and facts
- Team: Caterham
- Team-mate: Jarno Trulli
- Nationality: Finnish
- Born: 19/010/81, Suomussalmi
- Grand prix debut: Australia 2007
In that, he has succeeded, up to a point. Consistently impressive performances for the novice team have made him their go-to driver, and in 2011 he completely outperformed partner Jarno Trulli - hammering the renowned one-lap specialist 16-2 in qualifying.
Kovalainen says he will leave Caterham only if one of the 'big four' teams comes calling, which realistically means he will probably be there for the long haul.
Together, team and drivers hope to extricate themselves from the no-man's land they occupied in 2011 - clear of the other two 'new' teams - but not quite on the back of the midfield pack.
To their disappointment, the team have not quite made that leap this season, although there have been encouraging signs of late. But Kovalainen continues to produce reliable, consistent, pacey performances.

A successor to the mighty Bugatti Veyron is under development, and our spies have caught two intriguing prototypes in early testing at the Nurburgring. It looks like Bugatti plans to up its game in the wake of rival hypercars like the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder arriving on the scene.
While the black and brown test mule gives very little away besides a telemetry aerial stuck to the roof, the white car is altogether more mysterious. An aluminium structure is clearly visible protruding from the engine bay, suggesting some serious upgrades to the Veyron Super Sport's 1,183bhp 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine are being applied.
Wolfgang Schreiber, Bugatti's CEO until Wolfgang Durheimer takes over on June 1 this year, has previously stated that the Veyron's successor will be significantly more powerful, but whether it will feature a boosted version of the existing engine as some reports suggest, or a hybrid element will be added, is still the subject of debate.
• What is the world's fastest car?
However, when we spoke to Bugatti's chief vehicle engineer, Jens Schulenburg last year he told us: ""The big challenge on the next car will be reducing weight – we are looking at some incredible technologies, such as wheels made entirely from carbon fibre. Hybrids are definitely something we're looking at, too," suggesting significant weight savings in the car's construction and electric motors to supplement the 8.0-litre engine.
With power expected to climb as high as 1,500bhp and torque to around 2,000Nm, performance should be characteristically unhinged. A 0-62mph time of well under 2.5 seconds and a top speed north of 270mph is possible, snatching back the title of the world's fastest car from the 1,244bhp 270.49mph Hennessey Venom.
With the four-door Galibier now officially axed from Bugatti plans, the Veyron successor is being line up to enter production soon after the fewer than 50 remaining Grand Sport Roadsters are sold. That means it's unlikely we'll see the newcomer in 2014, although a debut towards the end of 2015 is feasible, with a price tag that could approach the £2m mark.
Find out all about the fastest cars in the world here
So what's new, the paint colour? LaFerrari has just completely leapfrogged the VW Bugatti bus, with something beautiful, lightweight, innovative and exquisitely engineered. You know, something like a real Bugatti....
LOL! It's taken a decade for Ferrari to 'leapfrog' the veyron! Remember also that it's quite rare for Ferrari to launch a model that is widely considered 'great' whereas the Veyron was pretty much universally admired by all who had the chance to try it! In terms of performance stats, it was one of the world's fastest cars for a decade!
Who says the LaFerrari has just completely leapfrogged the Bugatti? It looks like the Veyron is still faster, even after all these years!
Why is a Veyron being compared to the LaFerrari they couldnt be two more diffent cars! You cant even adjust the seat on the ferrari where the Veyron has electric heated seats and all the luxurys. Its a grand tourer that you could use ever day if you had the money that just happens to be faster than every other car in a straight line. The ferrari is a stripped out track car made for one thing going fast round a track.
Comparing this behemoth with the new hypercars from Ferrari or, indeed McLaren and Porsche is not relevant. Unless you're driving them up a runway the other 3 would completely monster the Veyron as impressive as its power stats are.
I don't think Ferrari are much interested in producing a car with a stack of power to reach a high maximum speed. If a backstreet mechanic in Texas can produce a car to beat the Veyron then Ferrari could if they wanted to.
But Ferrari would die of embarrassment if their so called fastest car could only clock 7:40 at the Nurburgring. Ferrari will be looking for a Nordshleife time getting on for a minute quicker than the Veyron could manage.
Corners are what cars are all about, imagine waiting almost a minute for your competitor to show up at the finish line.
I believe that a Ferrari F40 of 1988 vintage has a faster 'Ring time than the Veryon has managed.
There's so much BS posted here. Here are the times of the Veyron vs F40. Obviously no time for the LaFerrari yet.
07:07.572 - Buggati Veyron 16.4 '09 - ABS1 - Tire Wear Off - CSLACR -
07:38.27 Ferrari F40 -ABS(1) -Wear off -AW400
Ferraris have never been that good at the ring because Nurburgring is more like a real road than a F! type smooth track.
The above figs are for stock models.
Out of the 3 new hypercars we know that only the 918 has done the ring in under 7 mins. The McLaren is unlikely to have bettered that. So that makes them around 8 seconds faster than the Veyron. Not much difference. Also, the Veyron is probably much, much faster in a straight line. So if we could take a mean of slightly slower around a track and a much faster top speed the Veyron still wins. Impressive when you consider that it's a comfortable Grand Tourer!
But the other cars are NOT GTs -- and you could buy the Porsche and the Ferrari for the price of the Veyron !
Eh? The Veyron 16.4 which got the 07.08 time round the ring costs £839,285 according to Autocar. That's a lot less than the LaFerrari. The Veyron is also miles more desirable IMO.
"With a price tag that could approach the 2m mark" Well for the new one they're working on in any case.
Surely not 800k anymore? Not unless you've got a Time Machine in your garage! 1.5m quid if you want one now .
Veyrons are now surely all sold out, apart from special editions. As the LaFerrari is also sold out, it too will only be available in special editions. TBH I don't know and I can't be bothered phoning the Bugatti dealer in London.If you google "bugatti veyron price uk" you'll see the autocar story. It lists the basic veyron at 800k and the supersport at £2m.
Maybe, one day, someone will be lucky enough to get hold of all 4 of these cars and compare them on the road and track. Until then we can amuse ourselves speculating.
The veyrons whole purpose was to be fast in a straight line, it wasn't some accident that just happened when they were making a comfortable gt car
I read somewhere that the veyron had only managed 7.40 or thereabouts, plus ferraris don't join in on the nurburgring fad and test there cars at their own facility which is why they are not always optimised there

The Queen and Prince Philip welcomed South African President Jacob Zuma to London with a full display of British pageantry on Wednesday.
The monarch and her husband joined senior politicians and troops on Horse Guards Parade to greet the leader as he began his state visit to the UK capital.
After the Band of the Grenadier Guards played the South African national anthem, Mr Zuma and Prince Philip inspected 101 men of Nijmegen Company.
A traditionalist Zulu, the 67-year-old statesman's lifestyle has been the subject of some controversy.
He has three wives, the newest of whom, former bank clerk Thobeka Madiba, 36, is accompanying him on his trip. He also has 20 children born both in and out of wedlock.
After a private lunch with the Queen at Buckingham Palace, Mr Zuma travelled to Muswell Hill to unveil a plaque at the former home of Oliver Tambo, the man who helped Nelson Mandela found the modern South Africa.
On Wednesday night the Queen will host a state banquet in his honour, while he's set to hold talks with Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Thursday before meeting Prince Charles at Clarence House on Friday.

Senior on verge of what will be an emotional PGA win
BY Bruce Young | Australasian PGA Tour | 2003 Australian PGA Championship | Round Three | 13 Dec 2003
The 18th hole in round three of the Australian PGA Championship may well have provided a crucial moment in the outcome of this tournament when Peter Senior's birdie and Rod Pampling's bogey saw a two shot swing that might yet be important at the end of seventy two holes tomorrow.
Peter holed a fourteen metre putt at the last that saw him regain his five shot advantage that he had going into the third round and Pampling's bogey saw him fall back into a tie with Wade Ormsby and Craig Parry at thirteen under.
When asked afterwards as to just how important that putt was on the last, Peter said "It feels like I picked two shots up and I pretty much stayed exactly how I started. If I go out and shoot a good score tomorrow then the other guys have to catch me. I can't afford to protect my score because as we saw today Wade Ormsby went out and shot 63 so I've got to keep going. I figure around twenty under is needed. My drive at the first was important to get the round under way and the putt from around five metres made it even better."
Once again there was an air of understated confidence about Senior after the round.
"I haven't felt that nervous and I am excited about tomorrow. I know Wade well although more especially his family. I used to stay with them whenever I went to Adelaide and I said to him at the start of the week that it would be nice if we were playing together on Sunday on twenty under. It's turned out that way with the two of us playing together tomorrow at 12:15 with me at eighteen under."
It will be a big test for the 23-year-old South Australian Ormsby, but it appears if this week is not the week then it won't be long before he tastes victory.
Pampling too is playing well and his form was acknowledged by Senior.
"Rod has really become a great player over the last two years and it was good to play with him today as we are both working on the same things (both are coached by Gary Edwin) and it is always good to watch a good ball striker. He will win in the US before too long."
Parry is again sneaking into things. He was there or thereabouts all day and at the end of round three he was there ready to challenge for the title, should Senior falter. Scott Gardiner and Peter O'Malley are just one shot further back with American Ryan Palmer at ten under.
Greg Norman added even further value to a fascinating Sunday when he fired a 66 today to be at nine under and although perhaps too far back he is likely to have a large percentage of the gallery with him. Peter Lonard also came back into the tournament, at least for a top finish, with his round of 67.
It is all set up for tomorrow with the chance of one of Australia's greatest golfers over the last twenty years about to restart his already significant career and add to an outstanding list of victories. If he is able to do so, it is a fair bet that Peter Senior will shed a tear of happiness as this is a man who now plays tournament golf with a renewed passion and love for the game.
Parry, Pampling and Ormsby may well have different ideas and will no doubt challenge, as will others, but all will acknowledge the 44-year-old's rightful place in Australian golf and salute him if he is able to pull it off.

All You Need Is Now, initially released as a download this past December, gets a physical release today (3/22/11) … and many a critic, including this music reviewer, likes what he's hearing. Watch the vid below and see if you agree:
Hungry Like a Wolf (#3/1982): The song that made them an international sensation, thanks mainly to heavy MTV airplay … you know, back when MTV actually played videos and wasn't so fascinated with documenting the lives of pregnant teens and other assorted spoiled brats …
Ordinary World (#3/1993): The bands first U.S Top 10 hit since 1988
The Wild Boys (#2/1984): The only studio track on the live album Arena. Based on the 1971 novel The Wild Boys: A Book Of The Dead
Notorious (#2/1986): Their first release as a 3-pieces band after the departure of Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor
The Reflex (#1/1984): Their first and only single to hit number one on the U.S. charts …

John Ashcroft
TRB From Washington: Enemy Within
May 03, 2004
REPUBLICANS SAY THEY ARE dismayed by the partisanship of the 9/11 Commission and, if you define partisanship as criticism of the Bush administration--the working definition on much of the right--they are exactly right. But, if you define partisanship the way it's traditionally understood--as placing party interests above national ones--then the 9/11 Commission hasn't been very partisan at all. And that's what really irks the GOP: They're dismayed that the 9/11 Commission isn't partisan enough.
The Same And Different
September 09, 2002
After September 11, 2001, how could America not change? And how, after September 11, 2001, could America change? Staying the same and not staying the same are both forms of resistance, of retaliation. The enemy wished to destroy what we were, so let us be exactly what we were; but we were too frivolous and too complacent, and so we cannot be exactly what we were. And yet American frivolity is one of the world's joys, the expression of an unprecedented civilizational happiness.
Finger Tip
June 24, 2002
On its face, Attorney General John Ashcroft's plan, announced last week, to fingerprint about 100,000 foreigners visiting the United States each year sounds prudent. Since "fingerprints don't lie," as Ashcroft recently put it, fingerprinting visitors from Arab and Muslim nations should be a reliable way of identifying terrorists who would otherwise quickly disappear inside the country. In fact, until recently even liberals endorsed this logic.
On the Hill: Plan B
June 24, 2002
At an early June meeting of Republican activists in California, White House political director Ken Mehlman set the stage for the November congressional elections. Delivering a slick PowerPoint presentation with 27 slides bearing short, declarative sentences and nifty national maps, Mehlman summarized the parties' competing approaches with boardroom efficiency. First he explained the by-now-familiar Democratic strategy: Support George W.
Home Alone
June 24, 2002
As TNR went to press, John Ashcroft's revelation that the United States had captured an Al Qaeda operative seeking to build a dirty bomb was distracting attention from President George W. Bush's dramatic unveiling of his plan for a Department of Homeland Security. That announcement, in turn, had distracted attention from whistle-blower Coleen Rowley's testimony about FBI bungling, which, in turn, had distracted attention from the Democrats' call for a blueribbon commission to investigate the intelligence failures preceding September 11. All of which is fine, as far as it goes.
Bad Faith
March 25, 2002
A month or so ago, in a speech to the National Religious Broadcasters' annual convention, Attorney General John Ashcroft said the following: "Civilized individuals, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, all understand that the source of freedom and human dignity is the Creator. Governments may guard freedom. Governments don't grant freedom.
Right Turn
December 17, 2001
These are heady times for conservatism. The last 20 years have seen a decisive shift in the West toward market economics and away from statist intervention. The welfare state as it has historically been understood is an endangered species. Culturally, the importance of family structure, religious faith, and personal responsibility is affirmed by a wider array of people than for a generation. And with September 11, the bedrock conservative insight that the world is an inherently dangerous place has been decisively proved once again.
Duty Free
December 16, 2001
On July 11, exactly three months before the World Trade Center fell, David Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union, wrote a column in The Hill newspaper entitled, "Privacy: An Emerging Front-Burner Issue." In it, he made an argument that today rings rather strange. He accused the Clinton administration of being so obsessed with the threat of terrorism and crime that it had trampled civil liberties.
Holding Pattern
December 10, 2001
Of all the new security measures adopted by the Bush administration since September 11, the most draconian involve the detention and interrogation of aliens. In his dragnet effort to uncover evidence of terrorism, Attorney General John Ashcroft has authorized the detention of some 1,100 noncitizens. Some have been held for months and--thanks to recently passed legislation--may be held indefinitely. Critics call the Ashcroft detentions unconstitutional.
Sin Of Commission
October 08, 2001
Two weeks after George W. Bush's declaration of war against terrorism, a battle plan is taking shape. We are putting the screws to Pakistan to end its history of mentoring terrorists. We will now treat Afghanistan like the rogue state that it is. The Treasury Department will try to choke off Osama bin Laden's financing. Intelligence agencies, at long last, will share information with one another. And if the Bush administration has its way, the CIA will revert to its pre-1995 guidelines, which allowed operatives to recruit informants with sketchy human rights records. All sensible moves.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study is being done to investigate the influence of giving radiation to the liver on tumors involving the liver. Investigator is specifically looking at this effect on the blood vessels within the tumor. This effect will be measured by studying substances in the blood that the tumors produce and that cause blood vessels to grow. The effects seen on these substances may help design other treatments to improve the results of the radiation used to treat these tumors.

liver cancer
Patients referred for SIRT will be considered for this investigation. These patients will predominantly have stage IV colorectal metastases with liver dominant metastases or hepatocellular carcinoma. A team of oncologists, interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists and oncologic surgeons will determine that the patients are not candidates for surgical resection or ablative therapy. The patients will then be screened to confirm the patient's eligibility to receive standard of care SIRT treatment. SIRT treatment and imaging studies included in this investigation are standard of care for the patients' liver dominant disease.
Detailed Description:
Subjects are invited to participate in this study that have undergone a procedure as their standard of care. This procedure is known as Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), a procedure designed for the treatment of cancer in the liver. This includes cancer that has started in the liver as well as cancer that has spread to the liver. The purpose of the study is to collect blood samples to assess for "biological markers," or substances within the blood that may promote cancer growth by causing new blood vessels to form. This study will also use a new method of analyzing medical imaging (CT scan, PET scan) to try and better understand how cancer in the liver forms new blood vessels. SIRT is standard therapy and not part of this study. This study involves blood draws only.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 85 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Probability Sample
Subjects that have undergone Selective Internal Radiation Therapy for the treatment of liver cancer
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients between the ages of 18-85 who have been referred for SIRT as standard of care treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma or colorectal metastases to the liver and qualify for treatment with SIRT
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients are excluded from participation in this study if they are not undergoing the SIRT procedure

Productivity Trend popup is somewhat broken
Asked on Feb 14, 2014 - 15:02 UTC
Hello, it appears that the dates went missing from the productivity trend popup: I have no week dates and even the current week's task histogram only has the names of the weekday, nothing else.
I can send you a screenshot if you'd like.
All responses
Replied on Feb 14, 2014 - 17:06 UTC
Hello Nick,
Thank you for the screenshot. Aside from our new design showing the letters representing the days and the task count on the right, please clarify - are you also missing data for the last 3 weeks? Or is the redesign the only issue?
Best regards,
Replied on Feb 14, 2014 - 17:45 UTC
Not missing any data, the counts appear to be accurate. I suppose I didn't realize it was a new design. Looks a bit barren to my taste, but as long as it's an expected behavior...
We are good :)

Lena is a princess mermaid, sea king's daughter who dreams of someday marrying a wonderful prince. After disobeying her father, Lena visit the sea surface and first sees the Prince Stephan, who falls madly in love. Soon after, the ship that sails the Prince Stephan sinks and the youth's life in danger until Lena manages to save and bring to a beach near the school where he studied Princess Anne. Lena comes to the aid of the witch Cassandra and gives voice to change legs to walk in the outside world and meet her prince. Cassandra gives Lena what she asks with the warning that if Lena fails to win the hearts of Stephan and marry another, Lena will become sea foam for the rest of her life. Lena drinks the potion, and loses her voice, and goes to the surface. Above, she walks on shore naked (except for her shawl, flower necklace and the wreath of pearls her sister Tris gave for her birthday). She is later helped at the palace by two doves, Cecil and Claudiette. Things are going well, but Lena is dumb, Prince Stephan takes her fondly, as he feels he should show her the same kindness that the person who had saved him from the wreck. Over time, Stephan arrives in love with Lena and wants to marry her, but then comes Anna, the young princess who earlier found Stephan and Cosgrove on the beach, as she brought him to the them medical care they needed. Stephan feels grateful to Anna and her father of this desire, agrees to marry her, but Anna is in love with Maxwell. Bink, the dolphin pet friend of Lena, intervenes and tells the king of the sea what happened. His intervention fixes things, King Malcolm agrees to make Maxwell his son-in-law, and Lena finally marries Stephan, saving her life.
- Lena - The heroine of the story, Lena is a carefree, beautiful young mermaid princess living with her father, the Sea-King and her sisters in their grand underwater palace. Lena has a loyal companion, a dolphin named Vink, and it is him to whom she tells about her longing of finding the perfect prince, who will be the love of her life. Lena falls in such a deep love for Prince Stephan that she willingly sacrifices her beautiful voice.
- Cassandra - Cassandra is the evil Sea-witch dreaded by the mermaids. The Sea-King has forbidden any of his daughters to have anything to do with her. When Cassandra finds out that Lena has fallen in love with a human prince, she tricks her into trading her beautiful voice for human legs, warning her that if Prince Stephan were to marry someone else, she would then turn into seafoam for all eternity.
- Bink - A dolphin that is Lena's faithful royal pet. As much as he cares for Lena, he sometimes doesn't feel up to joining her in all of her wild adventures. When he finds out that Lena's life may be in danger, he quickly comes to her rescue and immediately notifies the Sea-King about Cassandra's doing.
- Prince Stephan - The handsome human prince with whom Lena falls in love. He has a faithful servant and companion named Cosgrove. When they are shipwrecked, they are both safely brought to the beach by Lena, then pulled onto the sands by Princess Anna and her schoolmates, none of which ever know about Lena's existence.
- Princess Anna - The daughter of the King Malcolm, who fears an attack from Prince Stephan's father, king to a foreign land. After Prince Stephan believes that only Anna was involved in rescuing him and Cosgrove, he decides to marry her to show his gratitude. Although Princess Anna loves someone else, her father insists on Anna's marriage with Stephan, to prevent his father from attacking his kingdom.

Moray RAF homecoming parade
Moray's local parliamentarians have attended the Moray RAF Homecoming parade in Elgin where thousands of people lined the streets to welcome back RAF Kinloss and RAF Lossiemouth personnel from operations.
Speaking after the parade the local MP Angus Robertson, who is Westminster SNP Leader and Defence spokesman said:
"This poignant and well attended parade illustrates the close association between the Air Force and wider Moray community. It may be the last time that personnel from RAF Kinloss join their colleagues from RAF Lossiemouth in such a parade as their base is closing later this year.
"The men and women returning from operations include air and ground personnel from across the range of RAF ranks and responsibilities. We are grateful to them all."
Moray MSP Richard Lochhead said:
"Thousands of people lined the streets of Elgin to thank the service personnel. It was a very moving parade and underlines the long association between the Air Force and Moray.
"We all hope that there can be similar events long into the future which is why there is such a strong campaign to retain RAF Lossiemouth as an air force base. My appreciation goes to all those personnel who have returned from operations and their families.
A joint detachment of RAF service personnel from RAF Kinloss and RAF Lossiemouth marched through Elgin on Saturday 19th February 2010 at 11am.
It is likely to have been the last time such an event included service personnel from RAF Kinloss before it closes later in 2011, and the large public turnout showed its appreciation to the servicemen and women.
Members of 14 Squadron, 51 Squadron and members of 2622 Squadron were joined in the march by other personnel who have also recently returned from deployment. There was a Tornado flypast, with 4 Tornado GR4s flying in close formation.
The salute was taken by Lord Lieutenant of Moray Grenville Johnston, Moray Council Vice-Convener Allan Wright, RAF Lossiemouth Station Commander Andy Hine and Major General Seymour Monro, Honoroury Air Commodore of 2622 Squadron. The Homecoming Parade was attended by Moray MP Angus Robertson and MSP Richard Lochhead.

Held from Oct. 20-22, 2010, the blow-out SPTechCon Boston (www.SPTechCon.com) smashed attendance records with 1,174 total registrants. Conference registration had to be cut off fully five weeks before SPTechCon. The event packed the Hyatt Regency Cambridge hotel — whose guest rooms had been sold out for two months.
SPTechCon Boston also set records in its expo hall, with 46 exhibiting companies and sponsors including Microsoft, AvePoint, Quest, FPWeb, Mainsoft, EPC Group, CommVault, ESRI and Hewlett-Packard. Exhibit space had completely sold out 10 weeks before the event.
Highlights of SPTechCon Boston included a standing-room-only keynote by Steve Fox, Microsoft's Senior Evangelism Manager for the Developer and Platform Group. Noted author and speaker Bill English, founder of Mindsharp, delivered a keynote address that led to a spontaneous follow-up class attended by 50 people.
There were numerous products and services announced at SPTechCon Boston, including SPTechWeb: Your SharePoint Technology Resource (www.SPTechWeb.com), the leading Web portal for SharePoint news, analysis, community, products, service and resources.
Ted Bahr, president of BZ Media, said, "SPTechCon Boston was an incredibly exciting conference for attendees, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors. Completely sold out, filling every nook and cranny of the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, the enthusiasm was tremendous. The excitement that the SharePoint community and industry have for SPTechCon has overwhelmed the Hyatt Cambridge and we're looking forward to moving to much larger quarters next time we're in Boston!"
SPTechCon in 2011
BZ Media has announced the 2011 dates and venues for SPTechCon: The SharePoint Technology Conference.
SPTechCon San Francisco will be held February 7-9, 2011, at the Hyatt Regency Burlingame. More than 45 exhibitors are already signed up. Both the expo hall and conference registration are expected to again be sold out. The technical program and keynotes are complete, with more than 90 classes and workshops being offered. Seewww.SPTechCon.com for the complete list of speakers and sessions.
For the sponsorship opportunities that remain, please contact Dan Gaiman, +1-646-454-0932,firstname.lastname@example.com.
SPTechCon Boston, June 1-3, 2011, expands to the Sheraton Boston in centrally located Copley Square – the city's largest hotel. More information will be available in early 2011 but exhibiting companies can sign up now.
