Leica reported to be planning mirrorless interchangeable lens camera
Leica's CEO is reported to have confirmed the company will introduce a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system. The British Journal of Photography (BJP) quotes Alfred Schopf as saying: "It's more than an idea. You will see something at the next Photokina [trade show]." He also told them that it will use an: "APS-C sized sensor at least." The move would see the German company (which already makes the fixed-lens APS-C-sensor X1 model, pictured) join Panasonic, Olympus, Sony and Samsung in the large-sensor mirrorless market - the fastest growing camera segment in most countries. (From BJP)
Good news
If this thing is reasonably priced it might be worth checking out. So far I haven't been too impressed with many of the 4/3-mirrorless cameras. That's not to say they are bad cameras, just not something for me. The issue with Leica coming out with a camera in this area of competition is that little red dot you pay for. If this is priced $1500 USD or over I would much rather just get the fixed focal length on the x100 and just use that as my quick, semi-small camera. It's a huge bonus that the x100 is a rangefinder too, if this new Leica doesn't have a viewfinder built on to it and it's still priced over $1500 with an extra $200 for a hotshoe VF... NO THANKS. Leica makes great cameras but they are tough to sell to people that aren't just loaded with cash.
Could we see a possible future in this for our beloved R lenses? Probably not...but its fun to specualte.
It seems to me another example when Leica missed the boat and arrived late. It should have been Leica to be the first FF camera. Kodak had the sensor and instead of fooling around with Fiuji as it later did with Panasonic where identical product came out only branded Leica and with a higher price tag, Leica could have been there at the start. I realize the the company was on the ropes at that time but it was a moment lost forever. The M-8 was a failure nd the M-9 it too pricey and although a great camera it's outside the budgets of many. It is also in a precarious marketing place. It Voigtlander comes out with a true RF like it tried before under the Epson brand but with more up to date features and with FF, it could relegate Leica back to the "collector's" camera category where it was for many years. It's too bad.
Once upon a time there were no mirrors.People never complained about other than the pinch of price tag, because they had mirrors at home but not in their cameras. Leading brands are again thinking in the retro ways. Very soon (may be in another decade) the mirrors and the DSLRs will be the part of antique items.We will have cameras with silent movements.But do not put everything on tauch screen. Please keep spme knobs and buttons to fiddle with and a true voew finder a la Fujifilm FinePix X100. We want to see the real world not through the looking glass of Alice (LCD).
Sweet... It'll only be the sold at the competitive price of $5000 or so...
put an EVF in the M9 (M10?). see through the lens.
add some zooms lens in M mount.
What they now call "mirrorless" will be the wave the future... The "shutter flapping and mirror flapping" will go away, sooner or later, hopefully sooner. These electronic LCD viewfinders, EVF, have such high resolution... Like upwards of a million pixels in a 20mm mini LCD screen... The real advantage is in low light... Where traditional pent-prism viewfinders, you cannot really see well... But with a modern EVF the seen appears illuminated due to the camera's ability to auto-expose the proposed image... If anyone has seen SONY's EX-3 video camera... Albeit a video camera,,, the viewfinder is totally amazing... Hopefully the pro DSLR will adopt some of the features of today's digital video cameras... JimW.
It only make sense if it's a rangefinder camera with manual control lenses. Leica is not a world electronic leader such as Panasonic, Sony nor Samsung. So Leica could hardly compete with M43, Nex or Nx and their electronical performances and gimmicks. On the other hand, beetween the FF M9 and the rather awkward association of m43/Nex/Nx with manual control lenses (especially M mount), there is a plain market to satisfy _ the Fuji X100 proves it. With the choice of a smaller sensor (M8 was an APS-H), Leica protects its M serie from cannibalization and can make even smaller camera. The big drawback is the cost of production and hence how to sell a cheaper camera that will not impact too negatively the reputation of Leica. Nowadays, real Leica products are handcrafted. It's time to move to a more industrial and robotized process.
I hope it has at least a good EVF otherwise it's useless for me.
i hope that people gonna sell their M8 and M8.2 because of that news, and prices drop to around 1k€
also i do hope that the x100 was just a test for leica and fuji to announce there partnership.
i am waiting for a ricoh 645d module for the gxr
and i hope there will be a weathersealed M10 this fall with lifeview and iso 12800 so that rich guys sell their M9 hehe
we reached the point where i will stop buying new cameras and only buy used, like in analog times
Perhaps a rebranded Sony this time?
I can't afford one. I mean, I have the money, but I can't justify the price tag because I'm not a pro photographer.
So, give me a full-frame X2, with 50 f/1.4, for $2k. Thank you.
I agree Leica is in a very weird spot now.
Photojournalists used to prefer Leica because of its film load, that even if the camera was badly damaged, the shots in film would not be exposed. That advantage exists in all digital cameras. MP might still have a slight advantage in that it is less likely to fail than digital, if abused. But Pros always carry backups anyways.
Leica is now sort of desired for their attention to detail in addressing the need of photographers, in design and engineering. But, other manufacturers' method of pumping out newer versions often to let their so-so designs evolve, seems to work very well too.
So, Leica is now priced for pros ( meaning, people who are ok with those price points, due to revenue they can earn from using the tools ), but is more likely to end up being desired by consumers.
I think there would be a big demand for a new M mount body from Leica with a sensor no smaller than APS-C. I wonder if Leica are seeing that there is demand for a new lower cost camera because of the Sony NEX and the upcoming Ricoh GXR modules. I can't imagine Leica would introduce a new lens mount for this camera. They did produce a second body in the form of the CL some years ago that was a great success and a nice camera (I still have one producing great photos). I would hope they will also continue with the rangefinder format. Surely this body is going to come in at something between US$2,500 - US$3,000.
Obviously they forget on the M9 system ??
And Ricoh, don't forget to mention that the GXR is also an APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens camera.
1) Will I need a mortgage to buy it?
2) Isn't an M9 a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera already?
Where is Nikon in this rush to tap a new marketplace??
Well, I would guess that body will cost at least as much as the X1 and than you add the lenses. Say $3000 - $4000 for body plus 35/2.0. Just a wild guess of mine of course.
I do not expect to see lenses faster than f/2.0 (not that I would need faster anyway) - the M9 will be left to keep the advantage in that regards I guess.
I am really curios to say at least.
Hmmmm.... the price ?
Wondering why Sigma is not mentioned as a maker of mirrorless cameras with large sensors ?
I am in if a viewfinder of some kind would be included.
Sorry if this is a repeat.
I guess yes, however, not large-sensor-mirrorless.
Since the talk was about large- sensor- mirrorless. :-)
Well then Casio to my knowledge does not include in its line up large-sensor models, hence not included.
Was no mention of system mirrorless. :-)
Thanks for this in any case. Keep cool and kind regards.
i would like a cambody that shifts the lensmount for autofocus. that could perfectly work with m-lenses, but i guess even the smallest lens is to heavy for that ..
It would be a bit reminiscent of the Contax AX, a 35mm SLR from the mid-1990s that moved the film plane back and forth in order to autofocus the (generally superb) Contax / Zeiss manual focus range. That would be clever, especially if it could be combined with the sensor cleaning mechanism.
I thought Leica is the leading brand for mirror less cameras in the last many many years including both film and digital. M-system AFAIK lack mirror.
Err, doesn't Leica already have a "mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system" for the last 100 years?
Don't be surprised to see Fuji associated with Leica system somewhere along the line, Fuji's industrial might would be a fine association for camera sensor and lens manufacturing.
A format between aps-c and full frame makes a lot of sense especially with Fuji's announced plans to take on Nikon for market share, something Leica would be keen to capitalize on.
Fuji has shown Leica what the x1 should have been by producing the x100, that would certainly not have gone unnoticed by Leica. Both parties would bring a lot to the market in a new venture. Time will tell.
Didn't see your earlier post Vadimka, better thought through and articulated than mine – Leica and Fuji would be an exciting pairing, one that would see some real movement in the market with new and exciting quality products. :D
Yes, it will be pretty exciting. Especially if they make some nice improvements to the EVF.
Some people mentioned NEX collaboration, but I don't see it happening. Sony E-mount was built with Pro Video in mind more that a photography. Thats why their NEX cameras look so awkward. You can slap a monster lens on a Cine camera and it will be fine, but its different in photography. I think Sony shot themself in a foot with such a small flange of only 18mm, which means they will have to make another system pretty soon to go FF with decent sized lenses.
The appeal of Leica to me is the very high quality of their lenses. If the new lenses are not made by Leica and to the same quality as their M-series lenses then I see little point in buying the proposed new camera.
This was reported weeks ago by the British Journal of Photography. If it doesn't have a viewfinder it's a non-starter and, if it does, it will directly compete with their super expensive M Series. One way or another, Leica is going to misstep on this one
How about a body where the sensor moved to focus, leaving the lens in a fixed position? With various adapters you could use Leica R, Leica M, and other brand lenses. You would set the f-stop on the lens and focus in "stopped down" mode, but the image would be bright on a electronic viewfinder.
for 50mm focal length, and that's moderate telephoto for NEX, you only need to move sensor by a few millimeters. That's not much.
And having movable sensor doesn't mean lens cannot have a focusing system (in that case, only telephoto lens would have it, and normal and wideangle wouldn't)
Here is what I'm talking about (from wiki camera lens):
"To improve performance, some lenses have a cam system that adjusts the distance between the groups as the lens is focused. Manufacturers call this different things. Nikon calls it CRC (close range correction), while Hasselblad and Mamiya call it FLE (floating lens element).[1]"
I would be very surprized if it is a new lensline. I don't think they do have the capacity do produce a new lens line by Leica Germany. The introduction of the S2 line and lack of capacity for 3 lines (S2, M, R) was the reason for discontinuing the R Series. This was mentioned in one of the Leica product management interview movies on luminous landscapes.
Something outsourced to Panasonic like Zeiss does it with Cosina might be more likely. But than I would rather prefer a Sony NEX with an adapted original Leica M lens.
That's a good point. A new lens line means it takes a long time until the whole system of camera+lenses is ready for real use.
I expect them to be backwards compatible with M lenses by doing image plane focusing in camera (like the Contax AX). That way you can autofocus with M lenses!
From a systems perspective, they would also create lenses that only work on the new camera. These lenses will be cheaper, since image plane focusing means fewer moving parts in the lens.
IPF would also bring the total weight of the system down, compared with systems that have focusing motors in every lens.
Cheeper, lighter, and autofocus. What's not to like.
Mirrorless is a good start. Now if they can also eliminate the heavy shutter with the 'thunk' that Panasonic uses, I'm interested.
i hope Leica means *autofocus* mirrorless. arent the M8/M9 already manual-focus mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras ?
something along the lines of an AF version of M-mount, with backward compatibility with old M manual lenses.
the errors one gets from doing MF wrong is far worse than the gains using Leica glass.
i guess they will make an x2 with a new lensmount like microM together with a few AF lenses (like 20 35 50) and the possibility to use an m-mount adapter together with a clip-on evf
and i REALLY hope it looks like an leica 1f
today i will start to make a fake 3d prototype of what i like to have, and then spread on the net hehe
Leica likely will enter m4/3 mount due to their ties with the system (Panasonic makes Leica-branded lenses for m4/3) - if not than perhaps they will try to use one of their already existing mounts. Otherwise there have been some rumors about Leica using Sony E mount but that's as much possible as creation of entirely new mount by them.
No - the GF3 is a m43. The guy from Leica says it is APS-C at least.
@John - the M cameras are range finders. And they actually have a mirror in the range finder mechanism.
What is called "mirror less" cameras are in reality EVF (electronic view finder) cameras, where you either use the big LCD on the backside or a dedicated electronic finder.
Oops! Make that the M8.2.
Someone in the PR dept at Leica must be new. They already have this camera in production. It's called the M9.
So Leica plans to release a Panasonic GF3 with a red dot on it?
Ladies and gentlemen, we have two big contenders for the Mirrorless World Championship Title ... On the left hand corner you the age-old legend, Leica, and on the right hand corner, you have the new history-making star, Fuji!

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun
Review by viper9
"A good game, but some seirous prolbems"
Introduction: when this game came out I was so excited and got it the first day it came out. What I wanted was a game that improved on frontline by a vast amount. What I got was a game that only improved a little with some very serious problems.
The graphics in the game look very nice and polished when you are far away, but get close and you will see that they are in fact, very blocky. Apart from that though the background was very nice looking. It is tough to make a jungle setting but I think that EA games did a nice job.
Absolutely beautiful. The sound was so well done it makes up for the graphics. You here the footsteps, gunshots and the pain of some one when they get shot. This is the games most redeeming quality.Ea seems to have spent most of their time retooling the sound when they were making this game and not much else
Just and average okay story. Nothing special here. You are marine Joe griffin who goes about the pacific on various missions. Do everything from blowing up a carrier to killing hundreds of enemy soldiers. All in a day for a Marine.
As in the previous games you can set the controls to a number of setting allowing you to pick what feels best. Choose from about nine options so you can play the game as best as you can.What I would have liked to see however was a custom setting where you can make your own button settings so it could be that much easier for you.
Lasting value:2/10
Oh no! This is where it gets bad. Only 9 levels and not much else to do. You could go back and find all the extras, but they really needed some extra levels.Ea should not have waited till next year to make another game and should have included a second disk with more levels
Overall this is a fairly good game but lacking any replay value. EA really needed to make more levels because once you play through the game once chances are you will find yourself wanting so, so much more.
Rent or buy
Rent. You will play this game once, maybe go back to get some of the cheats but you most likely wont want to play it again any time soon. Plus with the money you save you can buy another game with more replay value

Statement From Senator Golden Regarding the Enactment of the 2011-2012 State Budget
Albany- State Senator Martin J. Golden (R-C-I, Brooklyn) has issued the following statement in response to the passage of the 2011-2012 New York State Budget:
"Shortly before midnight last night, the New York State Senate enacted the 2011-2012 State Budget before the constitutionally mandated deadline of March 31st, marking the first early budget for the state since 1983. Working in an open, transparent and bipartisan way with Governor Cuomo we enact a fiscally responsible and balanced budget that closes an estimated $10 billion deficit without resorting to raising taxes or a risky borrowing scheme.
In short this budget reduces spending, cuts taxes and will help to create private sector jobs. While the fiscal crisis in the state posed great challenges and tough choices throughout the budget process, the enacted reduces year-to-year spending by 2 percent and decreases State operations expenses by 10 percent. Both actions are key to reducing the deficit for the 2011-2012 fiscal year and will make significant reduce the deficit in future years.
The enacted budget addresses many of the key priorities important to our community. It includes the full restoration of Title XX funding, which is instrumental to keeping our local senior centers open and their vital services available. The $22.5 million restoration of Title XX funding this budget now brings the total funding for Title XX to $33.6 billion.
Under this budget, New York City will receive $53 million more in education funding than what was proposed by Governor Cuomo. Additionally we restored funding to "4201" schools which provide an education to children who are deaf and blind. These programs in New York City will receive more funding than any other region in our state. The enacted budget also eliminates the City from a $100 million cost shift to city tax bills with a $33 million restoration in summer school employment programs and a nearly $60 million for special education.
New York spends more than any other state in the nation when it comes to the Medicaid program. I have made reforming the Medicaid system and protecting hardworking taxpayers in New York from escalating cost in the program a top priority. The enacted budget cuts New York's Medicaid spending by $2.8 billion and takes the first steps towards reforming and right sizing the program. With New York City paying a 25 percent share of Medicaid these reforms when coupled with the Medicaid cap will help save New York City hundreds of millions of dollars both in the short and long term.
Additionally, starting April 1, the state sales tax exemption on clothing will be reduced resulting in no sales tax on clothing under $55 with an entire expiration taking place later in the year. This action will provide a great benefit to New York City's middle class families and clothing retailers.
From the very onset of the budget process, I stood up and fought for the programs and issues important to the people I represent- from the senior centers, to education and reforming New York's Medicaid program. Restoring accountability and making your state function again- are firm commitments I have consistently made to our community. I have kept that commitment strong with the passage of a smart and fiscally sound budget that will put New York on the road to recovery today and into the future."

I've been in a daze
It seems like days that I've been waiting
For this dream to pass
It goes so fast
It seems nothing lasts
I think I've lost something
Stuck here with these people
While you wake I crush our bodies in one space
I feel your hot breath on my tongue
I wonder where you've gone
And the ever turning spinning wheel of people, places
Lies I feel
The restless beat of the sleepless night to come
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb
Hopeless these three years like smoking years
I go from place to place
Just endlessly and half asleep
Like I'm falling alone at some endless breach
I don't know where I am
I don't know what I've done
I just go over it again and again and again
I can't sleep at night
I cant breathe
But If I drink tonight I'll get you off my mind
And the ever present pit I feel
I'm turning on some spinning wheel
Of faces and the scenes I see
And none of it seems real to me
Just the bleary haze of the morning still to come
I just want to be numb [x5]

A longtime music journalist, whose work has appeared in/on MTV Hive, Thrillist, American Songwriter, Paste, the Hartford Courant, and the Food Network.
It's 4/20. You've absolutely got to get the Beatles into your life.
Korn have seen better days. The exit of drummer David Silveria in 2006 (one of the hardest, finest skins-beaters of the nu-metal era) and a few ill-timed lineup changes have resulted in some below-average music compared to their first few albums. Coupled with a general apathy for anything that has to do with the genre, it's led to a steep decline in interest in the group by the general public. Don't get us wrong, loyal Korn fans still exist; you just don't see too many mainstream ones these days.
Given their rocky past, it's amazing that former Byrds frontman and lead guitarist Roger McGuinn and co-songwriter/singer and rhythm guitarist David Crosby are even on speaking terms, no less friends. Still, a new article suggests that it's unlikely they will do anything to celebrate the group's 50th anniversary in 2014.

Flu shots provide valuable vaccination
Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:42:05 GMT —
Flu season is now upon us so it's important to take the proactive approach of getting a flu shot while staying informed about the harmful disease.
Everyone from the ages of six months all the way up to 100 plus years old need flu shots.
Over 1,000 deaths per year are caused from complications stemming from the Influenza virus. These vaccinations are preventative procedures and come in two types, trivalent which covers three strains of Influenza and quadrivalent which covers four strains.
It's important to note that these shots are for the Influenza virus and not the common flu.
Lynelle Diers, Wapello County Public Health Clinical Director, said there is a big difference between the two with Influenza being much more catastrophic.
"Influenza can cause aches and pains, headaches, high fever, and it can put a normal, healthy individual down for up to two weeks from work with this," said Diers.
The common flu is much more innocuous and usually causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Influenza is spread through droplets, usually by coughing, so always cover your mouth when doing so.
Flu shots are available at Wapello County Public Health.

SAHS Athletes of the Week
Anchoring a deep and solid lineup, Natalie Gerber was a steady run-producer and solid shortstop all season for the state champion Ponies softball team, which featured just three seniors on the roster.
Gerber, a sophomore, was one of three Ponies named to the All-Tournament Team after collecting five hits and 5 RBIs in three games at state, including a solo homer for Stillwater's first run in an eventual 11-inning victory over Mankato East in the semifinals. She also drove a two-run single in the decisive four-run 11th inning. Gerber also delivered an RBI single to plate Stillwater's first run in the 6-2 victory over Maple Grove in the championship game to cap a 21-8 season.
Wayde Hall – Boys track and field
Competing for the first time in an individual event at the state track and field meet, Stillwater junior Wayde Hall performed like a veteran while placing third in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter races last weekend at Hamline University.
Hall, who contributed to last year's state title as a member of the 4×800 relay team and was Stillwater's top finisher en route to another state championship in cross country last fall. On Friday, Hall completed the 3,200 race in 9:19.68 and followed another third-place finish while running 4:14.58 in the 1,600 meters. Hall was the biggest point producer for the conference and section champion Ponies, who scored 27 points to place 10th in the team standings at state.

ORLANDO, Florida-Updated
data from two separate studies
ratify earlier results showing that
following CHOP (cyclophosphamide
[Cytoxan, Neosar], doxorubicin
HCl, vincristine [Oncovin],
prednisone) with radiation improves
results for patients with early-
or limited-stage non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma (NHL), according to
data reported at the 43rd Annual
Meeting of the American Society of
Hematology (abstract 3023) .
The final results of E1484 showed
that radiotherapy was successful in
converting patients with limitedstage
diffuse aggressive NHL who
had achieved partial response following
treatment with CHOP to
complete response. In a trial conducted
by the Southwest Oncology
Group (SWOG), patients with early-
stage aggressive NHL receiving
CHOP plus radiotherapy continued
to realize survival advantages superior
to patients receiving CHOP
alone at greater doses.
New Results, Old System
In reporting the final results of
E1484, Sandra J. Horning, MD, of
Stanford University in California
noted that the study had "the advantage
of mature follow-up, but
the disadvantage of outdated classification,"
having been done before
the International Prognostic Index
(IPI) or the WHO and REAL classifications
became standard.
Patient accrual and randomization
ran from October 1984 to September
1992. "The objectives of this
study," Dr. Horning explained,
"were to determine the complete response
rate and the toxicity of
CHOP for early-stage diffuse aggressive
lymphoma, to compare the effect
of involved field radiotherapy
after a CHOP-induced remission
with end points of duration of response,
survival, sites of relapse, and
toxicity, and lastly to determine the
ability of radiotherapy to convert
partial responders to complete responders."
Predominantly Diffuse
Large-Cell Lymphomas
Most patients in the study (82%)
had diffuse large-cell lymphoma. To
be eligible, patients had to be in stage
IE/II/IIE, or to have mediastinal, retroperitoneal,
or bulky disease, defined
as ≥ 10 cm if stage I.
The vast majority of patients had
a performance status of 0 to 1 and
slightly less than one-third had bulky
disease. A total of 81% of patients
had fewer than three disease sites,
according to the Ann Arbor classification.
Stage I disease was present
in 31% (14% stage I, 17% stage IE)
and the remainder had stage II disease.
Extranodal disease was present
in 47% of patients (and in this study
the spleen was considered an
extranodal site). The median age of
participants was 59 years.
Patients were initially stratified
based on performance status, tumor
mass, and number of disease sites.
"Randomization was up front," Dr.
Horning said. "Patients in both arms
of the study received a full eight cycles
of CHOP. Those in arm 1 who
achieved a complete response were
observed, whereas those in arm 2
received 30 Gy of involved field radiation.
Partial responders in either
arm received 40 Gy of radiation."
Among the 324 patients who completed
all eight cycles of chemotherapy,
the only four deaths were due to
CHOP toxicity. Among the worst
toxicities, 33% were grade 3 and 45%
were grade 4. Almost all toxicities
were restricted to neutropenia.
Conversions From Partial to
Complete Response
Among patients for whom response
data were available, "215, or
61%, achieved a complete remission
as defined in the protocol, with relatively
narrow confidence intervals,"
Dr. Horning reported. "Note that
28% of patients converted from partial
response to complete response
with the addition of radiation therapy,"
she added.
A smaller subset of patients actually
received consolidation treatment.
These were the 79 patients in arm 2
who achieved complete response and
went on to receive 30 Gy of involved
field radiation. In arm 1 there were
93 patients who achieved complete
response and were then observed.
Partial responders numbered 71.
Among those receiving consolidation
therapy, there was a 17% increase
in failure-free survival at 5
years and 15% at 15 years, Dr.
Horning reported. Time-to-progression
data showed only one relapse
after 6 years of treatment in either
arm of the study.
"I think it is notable that 78% of
the patients in the radiation therapy
arm are still in remission or estimated
to be in remission at 15 years," Dr.
Horning stated. Multiple regression
analysis showed performance status
of 2 to 4 and more than three involved
sites to be statistically significant adverse
factors for time to progression.
"Bulk, stage, extranodal disease, age,
and gender were not statistically significant,"
Dr. Horning said.
Curves for overall survival diverged,
came together, and again
separated somewhat at 15 years.
There were no statistical differences
in overall survival. "This study does
suffer from a small number of patients,"
Dr. Horning acknowledged.
"In conclusion, the complete response
rate in this study was 61%
after eight cycles of CHOP therapy.
We found that 28% of partial responders
converted to complete responders
with 40 Gy of involved field
radiotherapy. Overall, induction
CHOP of eight cycles was relatively
well tolerated," Dr. Horning said.
Important Difference Between
the Two Trials
Updated data from the SWOG
trial found that survival advantages
shown at 4.4 years median followup
for CHOP(3) (three cycles of
CHOP) plus radiation compared to
CHOP(8) (eight cycles of CHOP)
alone were essentially unchanged at
about 8.2 years. Overall survival
rates were 82% for CHOP(3) plus
radiation vs 74% for CHOP(8). Failure-
free survival rates were 76% for
CHOP(3) plus radiation vs 67% for
Patients eligible for the SWOG
trial had biopsy-proven intermediate-
or high-grade NHL, except lymphoblastic,
according to Thomas P.
Miller, MD, of Arizona Cancer Center
in Tucson. "The important difference
between this trial and the
one presented by Dr. Horning is that
nonbulky stage II and IIE, that is,
patients with a single mass measuring
10 cm or greater than one-third
chest diameter, were ineligible, presuming
three cycles of CHOP would
be inadequate therapy."

My ggg-grandfather John McMILLAN was from Cheterfield County, SC, before going to Monroe County, AL and then to Colorado County, TX before 1843.

Richard Singletary 10/25/98
I am looking for John MELTON and Amanda Atkinson MELTON families. These two showed up on the 1880 Census of Chesterfield County, SC. I could not find them again on the 1890-1900 Census for Chesterfield County, SC. I did find John MELTON on the 1860 Census for Chesterfield County, SC with a different wife -- Rebecca! This fits with the family history of John having two different families! I can't find John with either family in the 1870, 1850, or 1840 census records. These could be my ggrandparents. I would like to get info on both the ATKINSON families and the Melton families -- both MELTON families as well as John's parents, if possible. If you can help, please contact me.
Rod Miller 3/21/98
Am looking for any trace of a John MILLER, supposedly from Chesterfield County, SC. We know he was last in Calloway County, KY, married for the third time there in 1828, and died there in 1841. Along the way, he supposedly married in Montgomery County, TN. I am guessing he could have been in Chesterfield County, SC in the range of 1760 to 1800 (birth) and married there? from 1780 to 1820. We know he was last married to a Rebecca CLAYTON MIDGETT? in Calloway County, KY. Any leads as to this mystery would be greatly appreciated.

Seeking information about the NORRIS families who were listed on the 1800 Chesterfield Co. Census, all households on the same page: James, Joel, William and Edetha. (A James NORRIS born SC was in Warren County, GA in 1801) Joel no longer is listed in 1820 but both a James and Joel appear in Warren County, GA. Can anyone help me with the NORRIS surname in Chesterfield? The James NORRIS I am searching for was a Rev. soldier and was reportedly at Cowpens and with General Francis Marion. Could this have happened if he was from Chesterfield County? Did other Rev. soldiers from Chesterfield have similar records? Thanks.
Riki Goodman 8/15/98
Seeking any information which might connect the OLIVER families of Chesterfield County, SC. Sarah OLIVER was born in 1816. She lived in the Mt. Croghan area for at least 20 years. I believe the following people were her children, but have found nothing to substantiate that: Alexander C. OLIVER born 1835, Ervin OLIVER born 1845, William P. OLIVER born 1847, Marshall OLIVER born 1851, W.B. OLIVER born 1852, Hardy OLIVER born 1853, Sarah, Jr. born 1858, Frances born 1865. The real intent is to connect James Augustus OLIVER in there somewhere. He was born 1881 in Chesterfield County. We know he was illigitimate and had two sisters Perl and Nealie or Nellie. I believe he belonged to Sarah, Jr. who in the 1900 Census shows Perl still at home age 21 and Lanner (Nealie?) age 12. James Augustus age 19 was boarding with Isaac Rivers. He married my grandmother, Martha Eva JOHNSON in 1901. Can anyone help me with this?

I have just learned that Humphry B. ROGERS, b. 1831 in Tuscaloosa Co., AL is listed in the 1900 census for Chesterfield Co., SC. He was in SC at the end of the Civil War, but he went to DeKalb Co., AL and is listed in the 1870 census there. I could not find him in DeKalb census for 1880. I think he must have gone back to SC, maybe to Chesterfield Co. His wife's name was Ruth M. ?, and I think they had two daughters, Elizabeth and Ida and a son, also named Humphry B. Rogers, b. in 1876 -- maybe in Chesterfield Co., SC. I find no ROGERS in Chesterfield Co. surnames list, but I do find ADAMS. Humphry B. ROGERS mother was Anna Adams ROGERS.

text: One of my neighbours has just been arrested. He had an argument with his girlfriend, threw her out of his flat and refused to let her back in to collect her stuff. They had a screaming match, her in the street, him shouting out of his second floor window. They're well known for this sort of thing - according to a neighbour he's an alcoholic. Somebody called the Police. I think the girlfriend said she'd been assaulted. An ambulance came but I don't think they gave treatment to anyone. The guy wouldn't let the Police into his flat. He seemed cheerful, albeit off his face. He put on a wig, which he said was his girlfriend's, before throwing it out the window. The whole scenario seemed quite harmless. Then the Police taped off the street, saying the guy had threatened to jump. Half an hour later about eight officers in riot gear broke in, subdued him and took him away. Maybe there are other things which justified the Police action, but...are they supposed to break in if somebody is threatening suicide? I suppose they looked up his history before breaking in, maybe that gave them cause for concern for his wellbeing. But it didn't look to me as if he was in a suicidal mood. More like a party mood really. His window can't be much more than 15 feet up, hardly high enough to break more than an ankle unless you dive head first. Another neighbour told me he was convicted for GBH the other day and sentenced to community service. I don't know whether that's true, but if it is the Police might have been itching to straighten him out. I dunno...maybe they were doing the right thing but with Brixton police you never know. Looked to me like bored officers on a slow day brutalising someone vulnerable.

The CAPA London Program Application
The CAPA application form is designed to give the internships team as much information about you as possible. The more detail we have about your experience, interests and aspirations, the more closely we can match you to an appropriate site. How you fill in the form is therefore essential.
CAPA Information Links
Completing The Internship Application
(Please read the section below carefully!)
Follow this step-by step guide and you will have the prefect application. Please refer to the sample application following the step-by-step guidelines in this section.
Step One: Personal Details
Fill in all your personal details including your age. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the UK, your date of birth is included on all applications, so please fill it in.
Step Two: Education
List all courses taken that are relevant to your internship areas by course title. Do not list courses by course number as they are listed at your home campus, since course numbers are not standard across United States institutions of higher learning and may not accurately reflect the content/purpose of the course. Remember to include courses relevant to any of the three areas of interest you have listed. Do not just concentrate on your first choice.
Step Three: Experience
Give as much detail as you can about the kind of experience gained in each position you've worked in. Do not simply but a job title.
- Use bullet points for each specific duty and skill required in each role.
- Where possible, relate your experience to your areas of interest.
Step Four: Placement Areas and Types of Work
This is the MOST IMPORTANT section of the application form. Your options may be severely limited if you do not fill out each section carefully.
You cannot afford to be too vague. This will invariable result in an internship that is only vaguely in your area of interest.
- For example: 1) Marketing 2) Real Estate 3) Theatre
This list reflects the choice of someone who hasn't really decided what they want. If marketing was your primary area of study, choose which aspect of it most interests you. Then offer some generalized alternatives for your second and third choices.
- For example: 1) Sports Marketing 2) Marketing 3) Public Relations
Never be overly specific however, as this offers the internships team no scope.
- For example: 1) Sports Marketing for Queen's Park Rangers Football Club 2) Sports Marketing for a soccer team 3) Sports Marketing
Never quote specific companies as a choice. If you have a particular company in mind, mention it only as a possibility.
- For example: Theatre (if possible with the RSC or Gate Theatre)
Be aware that certain internships are only available to students with experience in the field. Internships within high profile corporate companies, for instance, are extremely competitive and only the very best applicants with the most extensive experience will usually be considered.
Internships in creative fields such as journalism, broadcasting, graphic design and theatre, do not guarantee creative input. If you are applying for internships in any of these fields, please make sure you read the "Realistic Expectations" section of the handbook.
Step Five: What are your future career plans?
Be as informative as you can, but be open. If you have no specific aspirations, say so. If you have a very clearly defined career path, let us know that also. The more information we have, the better our match will be. Have reasonable expectations, though. Internships in the UK are very different from what you may have experienced elsewhere, and some steps you may be anxious to take to advance your career may just not be feasible within the internship environment.
Step Six: What type of duties do you expect?
All realistic expectations will be met by any of our sites. The type of work will vary, however, depending on the site and your particular assignment. Some sites offer team projects, others offer individual projects and still others will offer experience helping out on a day-to-day basis. Some will involve client contact, some may not.
If you have a particular preference for the type of work you want to do, let us know and we will do our best to meet your expectations.
Step Seven: Additional Information
Tell us everything that may be a selling point, such as: computer skills, languages, academic prizes and particular interests. If you have lived or studied abroad or visited the UK before, it will be of interest to our placement sites.

Hot nightclub, minus global warming
Kicking off in Rotterdam's Off_Corso on October 14th is the Sustainable Dance Club. The kick-off party will feature biological beer on tap and fair-trade clothing brand Kuyichi helping clubbers customize their clothes. The end concept will go much further. Enviu, an environmental NGO for young people, is working together with architectural firm Döll to create a truly sustainable nightclub. The club they envision will feature energy-generating dance floors (excellent way to extract kilowatts from energetic clubbers), toilets that flush with rain water, walls that change colour as a reaction to temperature changes, a rooftop garden and other elements that combine to create a sustainable clubbing environment.
