Mesothelioma Treatment And Life Expectancy
Courtesy of Clara Rothko for redOrbit Health Watch
Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos. Only a small percentage of patients survive long after they have been diagnosed. Usually mesothelioma life expectancy for patients is approximately 4 to 18 months, after they have been properly diagnosed with the disease. Less than 10 percent of diagnosed patients live more than five years. Mesothelioma patients go through four stages as the disease spreads throughout the body. Medical chemists are working on a cure to prolong the life expectancy of mesothelioma victims. As patients typically live less than a year after diagnosis, patients should know of common questions about mesothelioma lawsuits and how to ensure that their loved ones can support themselves if the unfortunate should happen.
The first stage of the disease is often found in one central location. If the disease is detected in this stage, there is a great possibility that the tumor can be removed, and a full recovery is expected. In stage two the cancer is no longer localized, it has moved to other areas of the body, and surgery may or may not be an option. In stage three patients have very little chance of recovery. Surgery is only used at this point to alleviate pain, and make the patients feel at ease. Stage four is the final stage for mesothelioma patients. The cancer has spread throughout the body, and the patients are in much pain. The mesothelioma life expectancy in the final stages is incredibly low.
Patients have a higher survival rate when the disease is caught early. The symptoms of Mesothelioma don't usually occur right away. It usually takes years for patients to find out they have the disease, and when they do, it is usually too late. Later stages of mesothelioma do not respond well to treatment or surgery.
When the disease is detected in its early stage, more mesothelioma treatment options are available. Patients may be eligible candidates for aggressive treatment programs such as chemotherapy or radiation. Patients in the early stage of mesothelioma, and who are not advanced in age, are normally good candidates for the extensive treatment program.
Mesothelioma treatment is very aggressive. Patients must be in good physical condition to undergo extensive treatment. Life expectancy is determined by prognosis and histopathological factors. Patients usually implement holistic and alternative medicine so they will have a better chance of survival. Patients using these types of methods usually live longer than their life expectancy diagnosis.
There are presently several forms of mesothelioma; Pleural, Pericardia and Peritoneal. Pleural Mesothelioma affects the tissues around the lungs. It is the most common of the disease. Peritoneal and Pericardia Mesothelioma affect the stomach and heart respectively and remain the most difficult types of cancer to treat.
However, there are several forms of therapy outside of traditional medicine that are effective in alleviating mesothelioma symptoms. Patients claim they find comfort in acupuncture and holistic healing. Healthy eating also plays a major role in combating mesothelioma. The healthier the body, the stronger the body becomes, and the better the body can fight disease. It is important for patients to develop and maintain a healthy immune system.
Clara Rothko is a part-time blogger currently working for her RN. She's usually writes about rare diseases in the hopes that greater awareness will encourage more people to recognize symptoms and get checked out. Early diagnoses mean better chances of survival.

In a striking blow of unbelievable news, Julia Reichert and her partner (in life and filmmaking) Steven Bognar were met with a dreaded telephone call when they stepped off the airplane in Salt Lake City last week en route to the Sundance Film Festival. The directors of "A Lion In The House," the competition doc about five children and their families dealing with cancer over nearly eight years, learned that Reichert herself had been diagnosed with lymphoma. After attending their first two Park City screenings last weekend, then introducing a third in Salt Lake City on Sunday, they decided to return home to Ohio where Reichert is now hospitalized.
Throughout the week, Sundance organizers and those close to the project told friends, colleagues, and screening audiences that the filmmakers had left town to deal with personal medical reasons. Some twelve families and leading oncologists traveled to Sundance this week to see the nearly four-hour film and discuss it with audiences, but doctors ultimately advised Reichert to return home immediately for treatment.
Bognar and those involved with the film have begun notifying friends and colleagues in the film community. A spokesperson for ITVS, a funder of the PBS documentary, explained to indieWIRE this morning that Reichert has been diagnosed with lymphoma and is now under the care of the head of the lymphoma unit at the James Cancer Hospital in Columbus, OH.
An ITVS spokesperson told indieWIRE today that Bognar and Reichert are asking friends to refrain from calling the hospital, but are instead encouraging well-wishers to send cards and get well notes:
Julia Reichert
Room 1037
James Cancer Hospital
300 W. 10th Ave.
Columbus, OH 43210
The filmmakers began making "A Lion In The House" more than eight years ago after seeing their daughter battle cancer. In a personal email exchange this afternoon, Steven Bognar reiterated that Julia is a strong, resilient woman and added that they are grateful to have spent eight years with role models and advisers who can now help them through these times. He added that they were fortunate to have been able to share the film with audiences here at Sundance before returning home.
Earlier this month, indieWIRE published an email interview with Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert, kicking off a series of profiles of Sundance competition filmmakers. The indieWIRE team in Utah want to wish Julia, Steve, and their family warmth, strength, and peace.
The Future of Exhibition
"Going, Going, Gone? The Culture of Moviegoing" was the subject of a panel Wednesday afternoon at the Filmmakers Lounge on Main Street. The ubiquitous pessimism that has created gloom among some circles of exhibitors and within the film biz in general -- including concerns about the advent of new technologies, declining box office, DVD piracy, as well as day and date distribution -- took center stage in the initial conversation, but a historical perspective regarding the ebb and flow of the industry also became a focus.
"The one thing that this [downturn in theater attendance] topic reminds me of is how I've heard this before. In the '60s, there was a conversion of art house theaters into porn theaters, and there was fear then. Then came the advent of home video, and everyone thought nobody would go to movies anymore, and that video would become the 'paperback' for film," detailed veteran San Francisco-based critic B. Ruby Rich.
She acknowledged that following the introduction of new forces changing the way moviegoers view movies did usually result in a temporary downturn in cinema audiences, but they usually returned.
Former United Artists head Bingham Ray acknowledged that technology, including big plasma televisions in homes were a challenge, but said the desire to ultimately enjoy the movie-going experience with others is paramount.
"Our need to get out of the house and [our] desire to commune with people like ourselves and [with people] not like ourselves is great," Ray said. "People have wanted group storytelling since [historic times] with the Shaman telling a story. Even with big plasma screen TVs, there is not the same group experience as in the theater."
Ray continued, saying that any cyclical downturn has caused undue panic within the film business. "This industry expects a record- breaking year every year, and they look for something [to blame]."
The art house theater was also a big focus of discussion Wednesday. California Film Institute founder Mark Fishkin (who also runs the Mill Valley Film Festival) said he is fearful of giant exhibitors pushing out smaller venues, while Russell Collins, CEO of the Michigan Theater, cited the role films played in replacing live theater as the primary means of popular entertainment, just as television did in the '50s.
"I'd be more worried if I were a multiplex owner than an art house owner," explained Rich. "The arthouse caters to their communities." Rich later added, "Something art houses can do is promise to show films that are unrated, and they can use that as a brand. They have that going for them."
Wednesday's Parties...
Sundance hosted an afternoon press and filmmaker reception at the Riverhorse on Main Street Wednesday. The event was closed off to publicists and one who tried to make it inside at the beginning of the soiree was turned away. Many filmmakers attended the event, of course, snacking on food and chatting up members of the press and each other. As the party went on, a few publicists had made it in. "I don't understand why they don't want us here," said one. "How are the press members suppose to know who the filmmakers are? And a lot of them can be shy."
A storm that threatened to dump another ten inches of snow Wednesday night didn't seem to derail the bash hosted by the New York State Governor's Office for Motion Picture and Television Development several miles further up the mountain above the Stein Erikson Lodge in a swanky gated community. The party was held at a private residence - a mansion to be more specific - complete with an indoor basketball court where about 150 - 200 people partied down. Despite the snow and cold temps, several attendees decided to where their summer skimpiest. Bellybuttons and bosoms were presented in their full glory.
IFC also held a party for "This Film is Not Yet Rated" near Main Street, while "American Hardcore" hosted its party complete with a concert from '80s punk bands The Circle Jerks and DOA. The gift bag for that one included a Vans T shirt and a gift certificate for a free pair of custom-made Vans shoes.
All Tomorrow's Parties...
Slamdance will host its awards ceremony and party Friday night. Other then that, go to dinner with friends and chill out. You deserve it.

Mississippi quarterback Seth Adams will get the start again this week at No. 23 Auburn, but coach Ed Orgeron says today (Monday) he'll be quick to pull the senior if Adams continues to struggle.
Adams has thrown 10 interceptions in his last three games, including four in a 44 to 8 loss to Arkansas last Saturday that grounded Ole Miss' offense.
Brent Schaeffer entered the game and threw a touchdown pass, but Orgeron believes the team's best chance to win comes with Adams under center.
Orgeron says he's examining why the turnovers happened and thinks they're very correctable.
The Arkansas game was the first time Adams, a walk-on who beat Schaeffer for the starting job in the offseason, did not throw a touchdown as a starter.
Adams says he knows he has to eliminate the turnovers.

Dodgers' win streak reaches end of the road
ST. LOUIS – Imagine what the Dodgers could do if the best pitcher in baseball would stop dragging them down.
Left-hander Clayton Kershaw allowed two runs – gasp! – in the fifth inning and the Dodgers' franchise-record road winning streak came to an end Tuesday night with a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
The Dodgers had won 15 consecutive road games since a July 6 loss in San Francisco. According to Elias Sports Bureau, it was the fourth-longest road winning streak in major-league history – the 1984 Detroit Tigers and 1916 New York Giants each won 17 in a row and the 1912 Washington Senators won 16 straight.
"Just means we need to start a new one tomorrow," Kershaw said. "You knew it was going to end eventually. It just happened to be tonight. What's great about baseball is we get to come out here again tomorrow."
Kershaw would be forgiven if he didn't feel all warm and fuzzy about baseball after losing another game he deserved to win.
The Dodgers' only two losses in their past 11 games have come with Kershaw on the mound. They lost to the New York Yankees a week ago despite the fact that Kershaw pitched eight scoreless innings. The Yankees scored three runs in the ninth.
His teammates didn't do much better this time, offering him just one run in support. The Dodgers have scored three runs or fewer in 15 of Kershaw's 24 starts, a total of only 61 during the 174 1/3 innings when he was in the game.
As a result, the Dodgers are a decidedly mediocre 13-11 when Kershaw takes the mound despite his major-league low 1.91 ERA.
"I wish I had them," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said when asked for theories to explain Kershaw's dampening effect on his own hitters. "Seems like you see a lot of guys in the Kersh category who just don't get runs. It seems like when those guys pitch the team kind of watches them pitch."
Kershaw's teammates preferred to tip the cap at the opposing pitcher rather than point the finger at themselves.
"Maybe give it to the pitchers on the other side, knowing they've got to step it up going against someone as good as him," Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier said.
Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis agreed.
"The other team's pitchers tend to pitch really great game because they know runs are going to be sparse," Ellis said. "Where Kersh is always at that level, they only have to match it one time. It's easy to get up like that one time. Maybe they lock in a little bit more.
"That was a tough one today. He doesn't want to lose ever."
It took half of the Cardinals' pitching staff – starter Joe Kelly and five relievers – to match Kershaw on Tuesday.
The Dodgers' only run came in the sixth inning when Carl Crawford led off with a double and scored on Adrian Gonzalez's RBI single. They went on to load the bases with one out but Ellis bounced into an inning-ending double play.
"I knew what he was going to do to get me out," Ellis said of the at-bat against Cardinals right-hander Seth Maness. "I had pitches to hit during the at-bat but he did a good job. He came in to get a ground ball and he got it."
It was one of four double plays the Dodgers hit into Tuesday and their major-league leading 12th bases-loaded double play this season (no other team has hit into more than eight). They are batting just .196 (19 for 97) with the bases loaded this season, 29th in the majors.
"We can only go from today's game," Mattingly said, dismissing the cumulative numbers. "It was a run-scoring opportunity where you want to get the ball in the air. They want to get the ball on the ground. Their guy got ahead in the count. That puts you on the defensive and their guy gets the ground ball."
The Cardinals put the game away with three runs on home runs by Carlos Beltran and Matt Adams off reliever Brandon League in the eighth inning.

Israeli focus on Syria gives Hagel respite on Iran
JERUSALEM On Chuck Hagel's inaugural visit to Israel as U.S. defense secretary, Syria surpassed Iran as the security threat of greatest urgency to the U.S.' closest Mideast ally. That quite unexpectedly gave the new Pentagon chief a temporary respite from the delicate duty of tempering Israeli warnings about attacking Iran to stop it from building a nuclear bomb.
Israeli leaders see Iran's nuclear ambitions as a threat to their country's very existence, given Tehran's vow to wipe it off the map. But Syria suddenly has emerged so prominently that it overshadowed Iran during Hagel's three days in Israel.
That explains, in part, why Hagel repeatedly stressed in public Israel's right to defend itself and to decide on its own, if necessary, whether and when to attack Iran. He gave less emphasis than usual by American officials to Washington's wish that diplomacy and sanctions be given more time to persuade Iran to change course.
Notably, Israel's new defense minister, Moshe Yaalon, said at a joint news conference with Hagel on Monday that he, too, thinks non-military means ought to be pursued further.
"By one way or another, the military nuclear project of Iran should be stopped," Yaalon said. "Having said that, we believe that the military option, which is well discussed, should be the last resort anyhow." He added, "There are other tools to be used and to be exhausted, whether it is diplomacy, economic sanctions, or even more support of the opposition in Iran."
Hagel seemed to sense slightly less urgency in the Israeli concern about Iran, although he by no means dismissed the problem. One year ago, Hagel's predecessor, Leon Panetta, was letting it be known that he feared Israel could attack Iran in a matter of weeks. Washington worries that such a strike could ignite a wider war in which it would be difficult for the U.S. to avoid getting involved.
That was before the Syrian civil war had reached the point of widespread concern that its illicit stockpiles of chemical weapons could pose a threat to Israel and other neighbors.
Jordan, too, is worried about transfers of Syrian chemical weapons. Hagel stopped briefly in Jordan Tuesday.
"The United States and Jordan share mutual concerns about the ongoing crisis in Syria and continue to consult closely on a number of issues including chemical weapons and the demands posed by the influx of Syrian refugees fleeing the violence," Pentagon press secretary George Little said after Hagel's meeting in Amman.
Little said the Pentagon has provided more than $70 million to Jordan this year to help secure its border and prevent the transfer of chemical weapons from Syria.
Hagel ended his day in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he met with Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, who also serves as the Saudi defense minister. Little said they discussed a proposed sale of advanced U.S. missiles for Saudi F-15 fighters as well as mutual concerns about Iran's nuclear program and the violence in Syria.
The Israelis see immediate dangers in the Syrian civil war, not only in the threat along Israel's northeastern border but also in the grim possibility that Syrian chemical weapons could fall into the hands of extremists. Israel says each of those possibilities is a "red line" beyond which it would have to act.
The concern is that if President Bashar Assad is overthrown, any of the Islamic extremist groups trying to oust him could turn his extensive arsenal against Israel.
A senior Israeli military intelligence official said Tuesday that Assad has repeatedly used chemical weapons against insurgent groups. It was the first such public claim by Israel and appeared to increase pressure on Washington and other Western countries to intervene in Syria.

Three Key West entrepreneurs have joined forces to open a laid-back beer and wine joint geared toward locals and its all in a historic and reportedly haunted Old Town home.
The Porch at 429 Caroline St., at the intersection with Duval Street, has quickly stirred up positive buzz around town because of its selection of handcrafted microbrews and chill atmosphere.
We just wanted a good little local speakeasy, co-owner Chris Shultz said. He and co-owners Jamille Cucci and Keith St. Peter opened up July 17.
Cucci and St. Peter own and run the popular vegetarian restaurant The Café on Southard Street; Shultz is the co-author several books about the Southernmost City, including the popular Quit Your Job and Move to Key West.
Our concept is to be accessible, Cucci said.
You know, Shultz said, you could come in and be sitting next to a waiter or a billionaire. They all drink the same thing.
Draft beers range from $5 to $8 and include such unique brews as Magic Hat #9 and the continually hopped Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA, which boasts a whopping 9 percent alcohol.
Another unusual draft is Captain Elis Root Beer, made with natural cane and brown sugar in small batches up in Maine.
Then there are a number of bottled beers, including the standout Saranac Pomegranate Wheat brewed in Utica, N.Y. by the family-owned Matt Brewing Co. Its a light-bodied, golden wheat beer with a sweet, but not overly so, pomegranate finish. And theres a drawing of a bear juggling pomegranates on the bottle another obvious plus.
Shultz described the ample and varied wine list as a modern selection of very accessible wines priced between $20 and $50 per bottle.
The location itself is rife with interest, as the Porter House, built circa 1838, is said to be haunted by the spirit of Dr. J.Y. Porter among others, including some of the numerous children he treated for yellow fever in the home.
Dr. Porter hangs out in the corner, Cucci said, motioning toward the door. Were told the ghosts love a party, so
The Porch, for beer, wine and a good time, is open Monday through Thursday from 11 p.m. until 1 a.m. or later, Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. until 2 a.m. or later and Sunday at noon.

HAFTR Highlights
Summer break is on the horizon
1 2 Next page >
As the school year winds down, Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway (HAFTR) High School students are in the process of taking Advanced Placement (AP) exams and preparing for finals and Regents exams.
May is perhaps the busiest month of the year for HAFTR High juniors. Students taking AP exams are inundated with tests one after the other. There is hardly time to breathe in between! AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP English Language, AP Political Science — too many at once! Nevertheless, it is the most relaxing feeling walking out of the test after extensive preparation by our outstanding teachers. "I am so happy to have gotten it over with. It was hard, but now we are stress free," said junior Danielle Kramer.
Juniors are also taking SAT and ACT exams before the school year ends. All students are preparing for finals and Regents exams in June. But, at the end of the day, once everything is completed, we savor an incredible sense of accomplishment. We feel as though despite the level of difficulty, it was all worth it.
Students are eager to complete their schoolwork, and we are looking forward to an incredible summer. HAFTR students are spending their summer in a variety of different ways; students are pursuing the activities about which they are most passionate. Some are participating in science research programs or internships in various fields, while others are working in the district court, or taking pre-college or college courses. Others are working locally or in camps. After many years of looking up to their counselors as campers, it is an honor to be able to finally have campers of their own; the roles are finally reversed.
Whatever the activity, students must first finish out the year's coursework. Students who have earned high grades this year may be eligible for several honor societies. Students who attained a 92 average in both General Studies and Judaic Studies classes are eligible for induction into the Deah Chapter of the National Honor Society. Membership in Spanish, French, and Hebrew honor societies is bestowed upon those who have done exceptionally well in language classes.

DENVER, Colo. (1/15/04) A 3-point shot at the buzzer from Ragan Neblett rimmed out and the North Texas (5-9, 1-1) women's basketball team defeated the Denver Pioneers (7-7, 0-2) 70-68 in Sun Belt Conference play from the Magness Arena.
North Texas, trailing 68-66 with 36 seconds remaining, got a three-point play from true freshman Mia Ajekwu to take a 69-68 lead. Junior guard Jill Medlock added a free throw with 10 seconds left to give the Mean Green a 70-68 lead before Neblett missed the 3-point shot to win the game at the buzzer. Ajekwu ended the game with 13 points and five rebounds.
"It's a great win for us to prove that we can win a close game and win one on the road," said North Texas head coach Tina Slinker. "It's really good to see Mia Ajekwu hit a big shot for us down the stretch. She just seems to play with a lot of confidence and composure in pressure situations".
North Texas had all five starters score in double figures led by senior forward Kim Blanton with 18 points as the Mean Green took a 41-34 lead into the break. The Pioneers battled back to slice the North Texas to one at 53-52 with 11:03 left in the second half.
Denver took their largest lead of the game at 60-57 with 5:34 remaining on a 3-pointer by Neblett. The Mean Green regained the lead at 66-64 with 2:16 left on an Erika Bobo jumper. The Pioneers answered with four straight points to make it 68-66 before the heroics of Ajekwu.
"We were able to put ourselves in a position to win tonight and we came up with the big plays down the stretch when they mattered," said Slinker.
The win by the Mean Green is the third straight in Denver and ends their eight-game road losing steak. North Texas wraps up their three-game road trip on Monday January 19 in Miami against Florida International.

Under the new Revocation of Charter for Lack of Academic Performance policy, only low-performing charter schools are subject to closure by the NC State Board of Education. There is no equivalent policy for district schools. This study asks the question: How many public schools would close if the state instituted the policy three years ago and applied to charter and district schools alike?
Governments have been seeking ways to adopt or advertise their efforts at open government, sunshine, and transparency. Recent history is rife, however, with examples of how they have failed - such as Gov. Mike Easley's financial dealings and the hole in the state health plan.
Open government is just as important in a modern republic as it was two centuries ago. Larger bureaucratic states threatened to overwhelm the ability of citizens and their representatives to keep track of government.
North Carolinas school districts are not parent-friendly organizations. While a handful of school districts fare reasonably well in the final ranking, the highest score was a 3.4, or a B+.
School districts in western North Carolina generally fared very well in the ranking, while the Triad, Triangle, Charlotte, and northeastern regions fared poorly. Seven of the top ten school districts are located in western North Carolina.
In 2004, the legislature went too far in passing a complete and permanent ban on gun possession by all ex-felons. In August 2009, the North Carolina Supreme Court in Britt v. North Carolina held that those changes were unconstitutional as applied to the plaintiff, Barney Britt.
Proposed spending for FY 2010 is $20.4 billion, $775 million more than actual spending FY 2009. Gov. Bev Perdue cut $1.7 billion in spending during fiscal year (FY) 2009 without causing further hardships in the state.
According to the North Carolina General Statutes, school boards have three broad functions: 1) to maintain general control and supervision of all matters pertaining to the public schools, 2) to enforce and execute the school law, and 3) to ensure that the administration of schools is efficiently and more economically accomplished. To simplify the process of understanding the work of school boards, the John Locke Foundation has developed a checklist for school board candidates and citizens.
In 2008 the EPA dramatically tightened its standards for defining a high ozone day. Even under EPAs more stringent new standard, North Carolina both as a whole and within its major regions has experienced significant reductions in the number of high ozone days.
Wind power advocates are pushing for commercial wind turbines along the mountain ridgelines - the mountains and the coast are the only locations where wind is viable in North Carolina. These commercial wind turbines can be as tall as 500 feet or the height of 50-story skyscrapers. The Ridge Law generally prohibits most tall buildings over 40 feet from being built along the ridgelines.
City council members hold the reins of the first level of government that affects most North Carolinians. With a proper perspective on the uses and limits of government, these leaders can foster prosperity in their communities through free individuals pursuing their own dreams without fear of the city arbitrarily curtailing their activities or usurping their property or wealth.
In 2007, the passage of Senate Bill 3 (SB 3) in North Carolina required that all of the state's public electric utilities increase the percentage of electricity generated from new renewable energy sources. The Beacon Hill Institute in conjunction with the John Locke Foundation has set out to estimate the costs and benefits of SB 3 and its impact on the state's economy.
This guide is a first step in a larger effort to correct decades-old misconceptions about North Carolina's private schools. In the spring of 2009, the John Locke Foundation conducted a survey of all private schools in North Carolina. Much of the information below comes from responses to the questionnaire.
A 25 percent income tax credit on film production expenses would cost the state $63.3 million more each year than the current 15 percent credit, which loses $11.2 million. Ernst & Young estimated the state lost $0.02 on each dollar of tax credits assuming all film-related economic activity result from the tax credit.
Better information about North Carolina's private schools is the first step toward persuading legislators and policymakers to increase educational options for North Carolina families. To this end, the John Locke Foundation conducted a survey of North Carolina's private schools to gather and analyze data on private schools generally not available to the public. This policy report provides a descriptive overview of questionnaire results of North Carolina's private schools, focusing on private school academics, students, personnel, finance, and attitudes toward school choice.
Because of their high costs, tiny benefits, and interference with property rights, North Carolina should not attempt to provide high-speed rail service. Instead, it should use its share of the $8 billion stimulus funds solely for incremental upgrades, such as safer grade crossings and signaling systems, that do not obligate state taxpayers to pay future operations and maintenance costs.
In North Carolina, the government can invoke eminent domain and seize private property even if reasonable alternatives exist to using this power. A recent Senate bill (SB 600) would allow conservation easement holders to challenge takings in court by requiring the government to prove that no prudent and feasible alternatives exist to condemnation of properties encumbered by conservation easements.
The original House budget proposal for fiscal year (FY) 2009-10 used $1.5 billion in Federal bailout funds to craft a budget that spent $19.3 billion. Although it is nearly $3 billion less than the original $22 billion request, the original House plan would have been just $1 billion less than actual appropriations in FY2008-09.
North Carolinas public schools continue to add administrative, non-instructional, and instructional support positions at rates that far exceed enrollment growth. Since 2000, North Carolinas public school student enrollment (Average Daily Membership) has increased by approximately 13 percent, while school personnel has increased by nearly 18 percent.
North Carolinas pupil/staff ratio decreased from nearly 8:1 in 2003 to just over 7:1 in 2006.
The City of Salisbury recently decided to build a $30 million fiber-optic cable system that will offer Internet, phone, and television service to Salisbury residents and businesses. The city is paying for this system with 20-year bonds.If the system cannot attract enough subscribers, city officials have stated that they will use an increase in property taxes of 9.5 cents per $100 valuation to fund the project.
Either version (House or Senate) of the smoking ban bill is a major threat to personal freedom and property rights. The Senate is considering a bill that would prohibit smoking in public places and places of employment, such as restaurants. The House version has the same general prohibition, but it also would include a very narrow exception for businesses that do not serve or allow entry to minors.
Policymakers in the many local governments of North Carolina face a host of important challenges. This issue guide offers solutions to problems that confront North Carolinians at municipal and county levels. The common thread in these recommendations is freedom. By increasing individual freedom, local governments can foster the prosperity of all North Carolinians and keep open avenues to innovative solutions from enterprising citizens.
North Carolina's system of taxation aggressively interferes with individual liberty and retards economic growth. Policymakers should begin to change the tax system.
Only 14 of the 100 schools that received services from dropout prevention grant recipients had substantially lower dropout rates and higher graduation rates from the 2006-07 to the 2007-08 school year. Of the five types of recipients awarded grants, grants to non-profit organizations appeared to have the most success.
The budget proposal outlined here reduces appropriations in fiscal year (FY) 2009-10 to $18.8 billion, $2.6 billion less than the final budget for FY 2008-09, and similar to the budget for FY 2006-07. In this proposal, per-capita spending adjusted for inflation of $1,969 remains higher than in FY 1997-98 or any year before.
North Carolina may for the first time begin regulating emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), an invisible, odorless gas prevalent in almost every sector of the economy and also vital to human health. The Environmental Management Commission, a state commission that adopts environmental regulations, is considering regulations that would mandate certain facilities to report their CO2 emissions. These regulations would lay the groundwork for far costlier CO2 regulations.

Not Bad for the priceI started using this a few years back when my beloved clinique stay true makeup was discontinued. Living in Texas and having slightly oily occasionally acne prone skin , it was the only makeup to survive the weather, the sweat and the grease. Now I bought this on a whim and a budget to get me through till I could get something else I never switched! And with pale skin, on sale at Walmart, I coul...read mored afford buying shade 505 and 510 and mixing it according to how much sun I had for the day. It is true, it melts in after about 5 hours, but 98% of makeup does down here. By mixing shades and applying a little extra it lasts a little longer, also follow it up with Mac blot powder, and it will last! I'm a fan. Not cakey, not heavy, and if it's fall to winter I get most of the day out of it. Good luck! — 1 year, 8 months agoabbym9 | 1 reviews

SARAJEVO – A Bosnian court has convicted four members of an elite former Bosnian Serb force – three of them Bosnian Serbs and the fourth a Slovene – for their role in the Srebrenica killings of 1995.
The court ruled the four men took part in the deaths of some 800 Bosnian Muslim men and boys at a military facility during the massacre at Srebrenica, where some 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed.
The four were convicted of committing crimes against humanity.
Stanko Kojic was sentenced to 43 years in jail, Zoran Goronja and Slovenian Franc Kos to 40 years, and Vlastimir Golijan to 19 years.
Judge Mira Smajlovic said the panel of judges acquitted the four of charges of genocide, ruling there was insufficient proof of "genocidal intent."

Arsenal and Liverpool are in need of some extra goals, and it seems both clubs could be looking to Poland for their next striker. Gornik Zabrze forward Arkadiusz Milik is said to be a target for both clubs, while Spanish side Sevilla and German champions Borussia Dortmund are also in the hunt for his signature. talkSPORT's Transfer Spotlight has more...
Name: Arkadiusz Milik
Date of birth: 28 February 1994
Birthplace: Tychy, Poland
Club: Gornik Zabrze
Position: Forward
International appearances: Two Poland caps to date (12 December 2012)
What's the latest?
Arkadiusz Milik, 18, has been heavily linked with Sevilla in recent months, with the Andalucians sending scouts to watch him in action, but it looks like the Spanish club will be priced out of a move, after it emerged that Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Liverpool have also taken an interest in the player. Milik's current contract runs until 2016, and after Borussia Dortmund reportedly offered €2m (£1.6m) for his signature, Arsenal and Liverpool will need to moved fast if they want to pip the German club, whose star striker Robert Lewandowski was signed from the Polish league in 2010.
Did you know?
1) Milik made his first team debut with Polish fourth division side Rozwoj Katowice in the 2010/11 season as a 16-year-old, scoring two goals.
2) The striker was soon offered a trial with professional side Gornik Zabrze, but despite scoring once in two games with the club, he wasn't offered a contract. Milik then went on further trials with Reading and Tottenham before returning to Poland to play with Katowice again.
3) In July 2011, Milik was finally rewarded with his first professional deal, signing a five-year contract with Gornik Zabrze. He made his Polish first division debut as a 17-year-old in July 2011 and provided an assist in the tie against Silesia Wroclaw. He had to wait until April 2012 to score his first goals with the club, however, netting twice against Koronie Kielce. He finished the 2011/12 season as the youngest scorer in the Polish League season and the seventh youngest in the history of the first division.
4) The 2012/13 season has been the striker's best yet, scoring two in his first two matches and being voted player of the month of August as a result. He currently has six goals in eight appearances in all competitions this year, no doubt impressing the scouts who have came to Poland to observe him.
5) Milik has played at U17, U18, U19 and U21 level for Poland, and was called up to the senior team for the first time to face South Africa in an October 2012 friendly, making his debut in the 58th minute. He played his first competitive match with the Poland first team against England in a 2014 World Cup qualifier on 17 October 2012, coming on in the 82nd minute.
They say
"He's a player who is a pleasure to watch. He has a great left foot, good speed. He has everything to have a good career. I think he should stay in Zabrze, maybe even for two-three years. He's young and has plenty of time to leave. Early departures aren't always good for footballers. Sure, he could probably leave now and click immediately, but it's not certain." Lukas Podolski talking to Polish news site Gwizdek24 on Milik.
Video evidence (nice title - 'competent striker')
Would Milik be a good addition to Liverpool or Arsenal in winter, or should they risk letting Dortmund get in first by waiting until the summer? Leave your thoughts below...

The waters of Puget Sound and Hood Canal are becoming more acidified as a result of rising carbon dioxide from industries, power plants and vehicles. Scientists from the University of Washington and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warn that the shifting water chemistry could damage the region's shellfish industry.
The waters in Puget Sound's main basin are acidifying as fast as those along the Washington Coast, where wild oysters have not reproduced since 2005.
And in parts of Hood Canal, home to much of the region's shellfish industry, water-chemistry problems are significantly worse than the rest of Puget Sound.
Scientists from the University of Washington and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned Monday that the changing pH of the seas is hitting Puget Sound harder and faster than many other marine waters.

That increasingly corrosive water — a byproduct of carbon-dioxide releases from industries, power plants and vehicles — is probably already harming shellfish, and over time it could reverberate through the marine food chain.
"We are concerned that ocean acidification may be contributing to the recent loss of oyster larvae reported by oyster hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest, including Puget Sound," UW scientist Jan Newton said.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, producing acids that raise the water's corrosiveness. As seawater becomes more corrosive, it can kill fish eggs and essentially dissolve the shells of small crustaceans, baby shellfish, and other tiny creatures at the base of the food web. Among the hardest hit: oyster larvae.
Since the dawn of the industrial revolution, the pH of ocean surface waters has dropped about 30 percent, and is expected to drop far more over the next century.
But NOAA scientists a few years ago found marine waters off the Washington Coast were becoming more acidified far sooner than anyone expected. And because of the way marine water circulates in our part of the Pacific Ocean, waters were becoming even more corrosive closer to shore, where most sea creatures live.
Deep, cold water typically carries more carbon dioxide than most surface waters, but that water rises along the Pacific Northwest in "upwelling" events. That acidified water pushes into the Strait of Juan de Fuca and into Hood Canal and Puget Sound, where natural processes lower the pH even more.
In southern Hood Canal, for example, poor water circulation and nutrient-rich runoff from pollution and leaky septic tanks stimulate the growth of phytoplankton and other organic matter.
As the phytoplankton dies and sinks, it produces carbon dioxide, which starves the stagnant water of oxygen and lowers its pH. That has led to massive die-offs of fish, octopus, crab and other creatures in recent years. Acidification from greenhouse-gas emissions just compounds the problem.
On the pH scale, strongly alkaline materials such as oven cleaner measure about 13. Hydrochloric acid has a pH of 1. Seawater usually measures around 8.1.
In some places, the waters of Puget Sound measured 7.7, similar to some of the lowest measurements taken along the Washington Coast. Parts of Hood Canal were as low as 7.4
"The pH levels we saw there [Hood Canal] were far lower than anything we've seen in the open ocean," said oceanographer Richard Feely, with NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seattle, the lead author of the new study.
Results were posted online Monday in the journal Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science.
Feely estimated that a quarter to a half of the increased corrosiveness in Hood Canal was due to man-made carbon dioxide dissolving in the water. That percentage could increase to more than 80 percent in coming decades.
Little field work has been done to directly tie any of Puget Sound's many ecological problems to acidifying waters. But scientists say there's strong evidence to suggest corrosive waters are already impacting oyster production. Wild oysters in Willapa Bay did not reproduce again in 2009, the sixth year in row.
The Taylor Shellfish hatchery on Hood Canal's Dabob Bay had its first good year in several in 2009, but company spokesman Bill Dewey said he suspects that's merely because the winds cooperated, preventing acidified seawater from entering the relatively stable bay.
The company recently installed sophisticated pH monitors at its hatchery to determine when it's best to draw water off the surface, from way down deep — or not at all.
Using similar instruments, operators of a hatchery in Oregon's Netarts Bay have improved oyster reproduction by only sucking in seawater in the afternoon, after photosynthetic organisms have bumped up the water's pH.
Scientists Monday said they will soon deploy the most sophisticated array of instruments in state history 15 miles off La Push to help gather more data about changing ocean conditions.
They urged Congress and others to find ways to immediately scale back carbon-dioxide emissions, but warned even if that happens soon, acidification will grow for years to come — a message the shellfish industry has already received.
"We know we've still got a lot of hurt coming our way," Dewey said.

European, Canadian enterprises approach BYOD cautiously
European and Canadian enterprises are allowing BYOD in increasing numbers, but more than half of IT professionals in those regions believe that the security risks outweigh the benefits.
In Europe, 28 percent of enterprises allow BYOD, compared with 34 percent in North America and 48 percent in Oceania (Australia and New Zealand), according to a survey of 4,500 IT professionals who are members of the nonprofit IT association ISACA.
The percentage of European enterprises blocking BYOD has dropped from 58 percent last year to 30 percent this year, suggesting a growing acceptance of BYOD on the continent.
At the same time, 54 percent of those surveyed still believe that the risks of BYOD outweigh the benefits, with a mere 15 percent saying that the benefits outweigh the risks. 31 percent said they believe the two are balanced. More than one-quarter of enterprises did not have a BYOD security policy in place.
The ISACA survey also found that European enterprises are increasingly allowing employees to use their corporate-owned device for personal activities. More than two-thirds of enterprises allow employees to access social networking sites from a corporate-owned device, and close to three-fourths allow employees to shop online using a corporate-owned device.
In Canada, more than 60 percent of enterprises allow BYOD, with about half applying some restrictions. More than half of Canadian IT professionals surveyed see the risks of BYOD outweighing the benefits and more than one-third of respondents said their enterprises did not have a formal security policy for BYOD, or were not sure whether they had a policy.
Enterprises in both Europe and Canada use encryption, password management, and remote wipe capability to decrease the security risks from BYOD, the survey found.

In an OpenVMS Cluster system, a master bitmap is created on the node that issues
the DISMOUNT or MOUNT command that creates the bitmap. When a master
bitmap is created, a local bitmap is automatically created on all other nodes in the cluster on which
the shadow set is mounted, provided the nodes have sufficient memory.
A master bitmap contains a record of all the writes
to the shadow set from every node in the cluster that has the shadow
set mounted. A local bitmap tracks all the writes that the local node
issues to a shadow set.
Note that if a node with a local bitmap writes
to the same logical block number (LBN) of a shadow set more than once,
only the LBN of the first write is sent to the master bitmap. The
minicopy operation uses the LBN for the update, not the number of
changes to the same LBN.
When there is not enough memory on a node to create
a local bitmap, the node sends a message for each write directly to
the master bitmap. This degrades application write performance.

Hi all
So I have actually only been riding for about 3 months, bought my first bike in November. Since then I have logged about 400km on my MTB. I would say about 50/50 trail riding and riding on hill/flat paths.
One of the first goals I made for myself was to try and ride to the beach from here, stay over (camp or hotel it), and ride back the next day. Its about 50km from my house, which to some may sound like nothing, but the farthest I have done is about 30km in a day, and that was quite a challenge to me.
So my question is, does anyone have any tips for taking on the trip on a MTB?
should I invest/borrow some semi-slicks?
any tips on saving weight? I can buy food there btw
PS I am planning this trip for late march/april depending on weather, to beat the heat/traffic.

Villa 2-0 Cardiff verdict: Lambert - We were worthy winners
Paul Lambert hailed Villa as "worthy winners" over Cardiff.
Lambert was thrilled with the second half performance of his claret and blue troops as they piled on the pressure to earn the victory.
Villa boss Lambert was especially pleased with goalscorers Leandro Bacuna and Libor Kozak.
He said: "I thought we were excellent.
"We have a lot of injuries at the moment. We had nearly half a team out. You know things are really bare when you're putting two young kids on your bench.
"But I thought we were worthy winners.
"I thought Leo's free-kick against Man City was world-class. But I thought that one surpassed it.
"It was a terrific free-kick. But Leo can do that. I have seen him do that in training. It was fantastic technique.
"When I watch him at Bodymoor, every time he hits one you think he's going to hit the target. That one today was excellent.
"It started by the post. It gets up and down quickly. There wasn't much room to aim at. The technique was excellent.
"Libor has done great for us. It's his first time in Britain. He's come from a league that isn't as quick. He's adapted to it.
"That's him scoring two important goals for us. I am delighted with his contribution so far.
"But overall in the second half we were dominant, put on the pressure and picked up the tempo. The lads galvanised it.
"I saw us create chances against Everton and West Ham. I knew we'd create. It was about persevering and believing in what we were doing. Thankfully we got a couple of goals."
Lambert admits he's thrilled there is an international break now before the West Brom match, with the boss hopeful of seeing several injured players return.
He added: "Thankfully we have got through this game with a win.
"If we can get three or four of the lads back for the West Brom game then good. We hope to get a few back."

Beauty at any price
The tanning, tucking, tightening terror of summer is upon us
It's not the most important passage in the Bible but one that has intrigued me for years. Jezebel, peering out her palace window, imperiously surveys in the distance the dust cloud of Jehu's horses as he "drives like a madman." Jehu son of Jehoshaphat is on an errand from the Lord, his purpose set like flint to take out this Baal-worshipping daughter of Tyre. Queen Jezebel, always the smarter half of the marriage to Ahab, knows what Jehu has come to do-and so she coolly makes her way to the vanity table, calmly (as I imagine her) regards her visage in the looking glass, and paints her eyes in antimony (2 Kings 9:30).
I called a friendly Old Testament expert to see what he made of it, and he thought Jezebel figured a little sex would help the situation. But I demur, both on the grounds of her tone in verse 31 and as a woman. I think the truth is darker still. At the risk of being risible, I offer that the lady wouldn't be caught dead without her makeup on. In the remaining half hour of her life, looking square in the maw of death, when her options are whittled down to futile resistance or repentance, the woman is concerned that she look "hot."
Summer is upon us, and men have no idea what women in this far-flung land go through. The anxiety starts building in March, and the first odd warm day augurs a cascade of warm days ahead, when there will be no more disguising another year's ravages of gravity and the culinary lapses of winter. The canny ads promise "40 pounds by Memorial Day," those devious hawkers of beauty and true love being well aware of their clients' quiet desperation. Naomi Wolf, in her 1991 bombshell of a book, The Beauty Myth, informed us that "33,000 women told researchers they would rather lose ten to fifteen pounds than achieve any other goal."
There is no indication that the sentiment has gotten anything but more intense. Over a decade later, in today's "Makeover Nation" (U.S. News & World Report, 2004), we have not only nail salons, tanning salons, waxing services (for almost any cubic inch of skin) that include depilatories or laser removals of hair, but also chemicals that will lend your skin the melatonin mother nature denied you. We have mainstreamed the magic formerly affordable only to the stars-taking out a line of credit to tuck, tighten, suction, implant, and inject poison, all a devil's bargain for a few weeks of looking like Gwyneth Paltrow (if Gwyneth Paltrow even looks like Gwyneth Paltrow).
I have the cure, ladies. Here it is. It's seeing life from The Other Side. In The Great Divorce a newcomer to heaven, observing for the first time the goings-on under the sun through new eyes, notes the following flatfooted encounter between the "Solid People" of heaven and a vamp (such as may grace the Cosmo covers) dropping in for the day from below:
"I think the most pitiable was a female Ghost. . . . This one seemed quite unaware of her phantasmal appearance. More than one of the Solid People tried to talk to her, and at first I was quite at a loss to understand her behavior to them. She appeared to be contorting her all but invisible face and writhing her smokelike body in a quite meaningless fashion. At last I came to the conclusion-incredible as it seemed-that she supposed herself still capable of attracting them and was trying to do so. She was a thing that had become incapable of conceiving conversation save as a means to that end. If a corpse already liquid with decay had arisen from the coffin, smeared its gums with lipstick, and attempted a flirtation, the result could not have been more appalling. In the end she muttered 'Stupid creatures,' and turned back to the bus."
Oh, to have the eyes of Saints in glory every minute of the day, my sisters! Much of what we crave we would not crave; much of what we fear we would not fear. And looming summer days would hold no terror to our souls.
