The are plenty of good new 52 villains and a few really lame ones. But batman has a lot of very good villains, in fact he's got the best rogues gallery of the entire superhero community. There are many I'd like to see return in the new 52. Here's ten of them. 10. The riddler. He was already in batman issue one but he hasn't been doing anything interesting lately, I hope someone gets around to him soon. 9.KGbeast. He was so severely underused in the previous universe and I'm longing for another story with this guy. 8. Lockup. The one time villain from batman the animated series who we didn't see enough of and I really like to see more of. 7. Firefly. The pyromaniac with the gear, he is an awesome villain that must return. 6. Roxy rocket. She appeared on one episode of the new batman adventures before crossing over for a few issues and just once again didn't get used enough. I really want to see her since the only female villains we have are talia al ghul and poison ivy. It'll be nice to have another female villain thrown in the mix since catwoman hasn't been much of one lately and Harley Quinn moved to the suicide squad. 5. Hush. Must appear, enough said. 4. The ventriloquist. A severely underrated villain that had only appeared on one issue of batman: the dark knight, which I prefer to forget. Good stories can be told with this character if the right writer can get his hands on him. 3. Victor zsaz. Like the ventriloquist, appeared in the same book as a steroid induced zombie. He really needs his reputation revived. 2. Man-bat. Needs to appear. 1. Dr Hugo strange. His son Eli strange just will not do.
Batman villains I'd like to see return in the new 52
some of these might need reboots : killer moth, firefly, spook, catman, wrath, nocturna, magpie, reaper, anarky,
@colonyofcells: i would love to see killer moth get rebooted as a serious version of what he attempted to become (a batman for villains) he needs a villain he cannot beat . someone who can outsmart , out tech , and out strategy him . hush was good but got brought down , red hood was good but became a anti-hero and in my eyes fell flat to what he aspired to be , prometheus was too complicated for his own good. maybe have ted kord take up the mantle as there is already the cosmic blue beetle . both kord and wayne are rich dudes who have amazing tech , just tweak kord to a unique villain , that does not have a drawn out and beaten-to-death backstory, i like ted kord to me he was the technology side of peter parker and to see that kinda mind as a villain(if done right) can be a great threat to batman

Wrath. He'd be cool to see again.
@Skewer: I'm glad you mentioned Roxy Rocket. Despite very limited appearances, she's a very fun character and it would be a pleasure to see her again.
And definitely the Ventriloquist. So much potential for story with him. I would even mind seeing Peyton Riley (Ventriloquist II) again. I thought she was pretty interesting.

B'wana Beast is a Batman villain? Since when?
Calendar Man, Crazy Quilt, and Clayface
Which Clayface ?

Hell yes. (on Jones)
I want to see Zsaz as a serious threat instead of some nut easily taken down. A man who cuts himself every time he kills and is totally covered in scars/cuts is imo really only out crazy'd by Joker.
@Stormbox@colonyofcells Was talking about Matt Hagen, my bad for not being clear.

Bring on Mustard Man. I liked that episode of BTAS.
But seriously, your number ten should be your number one. Not to mention, he's coming back soon after Death of the Family. In fact, (Batman #15 spoilers)

I agree that some of those characters should have a complete reboot. Riddler is on the way, so that's good. I would also love to see Victor Zsaz make a comeback. Most of all, The Ventriloquist would an amazing story, especially written by Scott Snyder! The only problem is that I fear many of these villains could not hold their own in a full fledge story arc. I think that some of them(like The Ventriloquist) should share an arc. Zsaz & The Ventriloquist would be a sweet story by Snyder.

Bwana Beast isnt a Batman villain. he's a hero who isnt related to Batman anyone outside certain cartoons.
Captain Stingaree ?
@Skewer said:
I also wanted to add two-face! I screwed up by leaving him out because we didn't get a proper story with this guy. Same goes with bane, hopefully we don't see the one from batman the dark knight.
Two-Face has already been given thrice appearances since New 52 began, four if Batman 1 is counted: Batman: the Dark Knight 1-2, had his own mini-arc within Detective Comics, and The Judas Coin. Nevertheless, he will be back, along with Riddler, in Batman 21-28.

I'd like to see a badass Hush return...not Hush: The Bitch
You know which villain is due for a reboot. Mad Hatter.
And I never complain when we get Ra's, and it drives me crazy that vandal savage is getting so much more exposer than Ra's when Ra's is WAY more interesting.
Villain wants to take over the world = boring
Villain that wants to save it by killing most of humanity = way more interesting

Killer Croc!
Have to be the third to voice the Mad Hatter getting an epic rebooted story line.
Killer Croc when done right is always good.
I'd really prefer if they scrapped the current version of Freeze for the old one, and this one just turned out to be a clone or something of that nature.
OH, and let's get Hugo Strange back into the mix!!!
@ngroove said:
Mad Hatter = See Through The Looking Glass, Dark Knight 8, Detective Comics Annual 1, and upcoming Dark Knights, starting with 16 beginning of next year
Killer Croc = Batman 1, previous issues of Batwoman, expect him next year in a Speedy special.
What he said. Also, the Arsenal special Ngroove means is DC Present.

Preston Payne/another Clayface.
I just want them to return to Basil Karlo and make him interesting.While Preston was definitely a unique one at the end of the day we have too many Clayfaces running around and most of them are basically the same.
Hatter is getting a story next year.@Skewer said:

This is subjective but Vandal is more interesting than Ra's right now IMO.
Ra's always has the same doomsday plan to annihilate the world and then he gets beaten before the plan could be executed,Vandal wants a lot of things(not necessarily world domination) and he to some extent succeeds in it.Also the problem I have with Ra's these days that he relies too much on his mercs/assassins,they practically do everything both intellectually and physically but Ra's gets the credit just for sitting on his chair and doing nothing.I dunno just doesn't feel organic at all,he becomes the uber mastermind just cause the writer says so.
Oh and the whole"I want an heir" thing doesn't make sense,it tries to make him look honorable.In reality we have seen that he will cheat death no matter what so that angle is kinda useless too,
Some of his top tier assassins like say Shiva could kill him and take the pits for herself,why exactly is she loyal to him? and how would she benefit from the destruction that Ra's feels is needed to save the world?
DC made the wrong call when they chose to bring him back in Resurrection,Talia seems more compelling a leader of the LOA than Ra's
@CalebHara said:
@ngroove: whos the second guy there?
Some Nemeses I requested:
1. Thief of Night / Night Slayer - Masterful thief-later mega-jealous murderer, whose technique commonly involves using his costume to blend in the darkness, added with his learned fighting styles. Most impressive feat, I would say, would be the time he actually held his own against Batman, Robin (Jason Todd), and Catwoman, before the catastrophic red winds of the CRISIS took footing of the battle. Active 1983-1986, last seen, still at large, Batman 400, broken out by Ra's, as well as just about every other Bat-Rogue of the peroid.
2. Cornelius Stirk - Incredibly insane, first of many (Mister Zsasz, Long Halloween-verse Calendar Man, New 52 Riddler, as of Batman 15) Hannibal Lecter wannabes, purely believes in consuming people's chemicals derived from fear, so he murders, cooks, and eats people's hearts. Could also fool people in his sway, by somehow having illusory powers, that he could appear in a form more "pleasing" to them (in the past, Jesus Christ, Abraham Lincoln, a woman, even Batman). Despite his craziness, convinced he's "sane". Often a former staple at Arkham, mostly used by creator Alan Grant, between 1988, to his only appearance after Grant was fired around 1999, was by Kevin Smith of all people, in "Widening Gyre" which has since been claimed not even of New Earth continuity.

The fun part about consulting is that no two days are the same. You should have a learning mindset, ready to experience new ideas and situations regularly.
We want someone who likes to solve problems. Clients don't come to us when the problem is easy. You should enjoy taking on the hard stuff.
And because we work with clients, excellent communication skills are important – both written and verbal. Translating technical concepts into layman's terms is an essential skill.

- Network of technology champions – There's no fun in being the only geek in the room. Centric celebrates all things tech. For example, we hold a yearly gathering called Camp I/O. In the vein of TEDx talks, Camp I/O is an opportunity for technology-minded people across Centric to get together and show off what they can do when not constrained by client requirements and platforms. Check out some of the innovative presentations from last year.
- All-company (paid!) vacation trip – Who doesn't want to go someplace warm in the winter?
- Prefer to contract?
- Contractor friendly environment – Contractors are an important part of our Centric family and we treat them as such. You will find that our policies and practices make it easy for you to contract with us.
- Benefits eligibility – As a W2T temporary employee, you are eligible for Centric's W2T benefits package which includes medical and dental coverage. We are also open to Corp to Corp arrangements (no benefits in that case, however).
- Full-time potential – Many of our full-time employees originally started as contractors. If that's something you are interested in, we can explore those options. That said, if you want to remain a contractor that's fine too. We are flexible!
Centric believes the best solutions come from diverse teams. We strive to have an environment where everyone has an opportunity to be successful regardless of their race, color, religion, gender, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, military or veteran status, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Hershey high school graduate Tucker Hicks fulfilled a dream Wednesday by accepting a wrestling scholarship to Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa.
When HIcks started making his college plans, Morningside was his first choice. However, he turned down their first offer as it would not meet his financial needs. Hershey wrestling Coach Jeff Linden said the college was able to free up some scholarship money and make him a better offer.
"They really wanted him to come there and came back about a month later with the offer that he accepted," Linden said.
Hicks was a two-time state tournament qualifier at Hershey, and amassed 40 wins his senior year.
Linden said Hicks is a good student and a hard working athlete who hasn't reached his full potential. "When he hits the weight room he will become a really good college wrestler," Linden said.
Hicks is the son of Jeff and Paula Hicks.

Mahesh Babu has grown to be a superstar over the years and he is also responsible for creating some new records. For a long time, his film 'Pokiri' stood as the biggest blockbuster in Tollywood history. Then he restarted a new trend of multi-starrers by agreeing to work with Venkatesh for 'Seetamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu'.
Now, it is heard that Mahesh is likely to create history. This is by working with a director duo. So far, Tollywood has always seen solo star directors working with star heroes. But it is heard that Mahesh is showing interest to work with the team of Raj Nidimoru-DK for a bilingual. Though the duo is Telugu they are famous in Bollywood.
Reports say few months ago Mahesh was impressed with their Hindi film 'Go Goa Gone' and since then they were in touch with Mahesh with different story ideas. If any of them gets locked then Mahesh will become the first star hero in Tollywood to work with a team of directors and create history.

[Score.] Musicworks: The Mission
My compositions are driven by a three-point philosophy:
- I write video game music to help developers make their games into complete works of art. Video games have limitless potential as an art form, but that potential can only be realized if all facets of the games are artful.
- I write video game music for both gamers and musicians alike. I strive not only to enhance gamers' experiences through playing to my music, but also to create thoughtful, original music that would be of interest to my fellow musicians.
- I write video game music to ensure that the magic of yesterday's game music is not lost. Some of my most beloved musical memories stem from the shrewd melodies of classic game composers. My music aims to latch onto that magic and bring it into more modern contexts to meet today's demands.
The mission of [Score.] Musicworks is to engage all three points in meaningful ways while working professionally with game companies in order to become not only an asset to their games, but to each company as a whole. In this way, together as a team we will further the advancement of video games as an artform.

Hong Kong is the world's tenth largest trading power and the third largest financial center in the world. Hong Kong's economy is often cited as the model of capitalism. Its ultra-liberal operating system was heavily exposed to the global financial crisis but ultimately proved to be resilient. In 2012, its growth rate was weak due to the slowdown of the Chinese economy and the recession in Europe. According to estimations, the country's growth must have slightly increased in 2013 (about 3%) and inflation was 4.6%.
Household consumption has increased and the country retains huge fiscal reserves. The government rarely intervenes in the economic sphere, but due to political pressure, it has been asked to adopt a number of measures. In the current ambiguous international environment, the budget proposal for 2013-2014 focuses on growth and employment. It includes an increase of more than 30% in welfare spending, as well as tax cuts and energy subsidies. In order to encourage long-term growth, the government seeks to strengthen Hong Kong's role as a global warehouse and to support the development of the industries of logistics and funds management. The fight against environmental pollution and senior citizens welfare support are also among the priorities. In 2014, the government will continue to center its control in a budgetary discipline. Tourism is an important sector, in 2013 about 54 million visitors, mainly from continental China, visited Hong Kong. This year, the government has applied new measures in order to reduce the price of real estate which could eventually weaken the growth perspectives of Hong Kong. Lastly, the country's attractive fiscal policy, which is one of its major advantages, could be threatened by the competitiveness of the emerging regional countries. In 2014 a constitutional reform should be passed, but at the moment there is not a consensus regarding this subject.
The economic crisis had led to a demotion on the labor market, particularly in the financial services. However, the unemployment rate has decreased again and remains at a historical minimum (slightly above 3%). Nevertheless, Hong Kong must deal with high levels of social inequality.
Since the agricultural sector is almost non-existent, Hong Kong has to import 80% of its food supplies. Hong Kong does not have any natural resources and depends entirely on its imports of raw materials and energy. Agriculture, practically does not contribute at all to the country's economy.
The manufacturing industry's contribution to the GDP is also very low. The country's main industrial sectors are textiles, electronic components and household appliances, computer technology and telecommunications.
The tertiary sector, particularly financial services, is the heart of the country's economic activity. It contributes to around 90% of the GDP and employs more than 85% of the active population. Hong Kong acts as a service center for Asian companies, especially those that trade with China. According to the figures published by the Commercial Register, there are over 900,000 companies registered in Hong Kong. The tourism industry is booming, mainly due to an exponential increase in the number of visitors from mainland China.
Hong Kong's economy is considered a model of capitalism because of its dedication to free trade. Trade represents nearly 430% of the GDP (2009-2011 average). Hong Kong is one of the top fifteen exporters of trade services and it is also among the top fifteen largest trade-based economies in the world.
Foreign trade was pursued intensively during these past years, supported by the growth of the Chinese economy. Structurally in deficit, the trade balance of Hong Kong has a tendency to deteriorate due to the unfavorable international context, which is harming imports. In 2013, this deficit became larger, imports progressed a little faster than exports.
The island's main trade partners are China, Southeast Asia and Japan.
According to the "World Investment Report 2013" published by the UNCTAD, Hong Kong was the 3rd largest recipient of FDI in the world in 2012, and it has kept its second place in Asia after China. It is also the the third supplier of FDI outflows from Asia.
The flows of FDI, which had slowed down due to the global recession, began to increase again since 2010. In 2012, FDI influx to Hong Kong more than doubled compared to 2011, reaching USD 6.12 billion. Therefore, Hong Kong surpassed Singapore in the ranking of FDI recipients. This trend will continue due to the key role which the Asian region will play in global growth. According to the classification Doing Business 2014 issued by the World Bank, Hong Kong ranks second for its business climate.
Hong Kong's attraction is due to its several assets: its strategic position which makes the island the access gate to the Chinese market, its status as a free port, its simple and very incentive tax regime, its efficient infrastructures and its legal security.

The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corp. (NOHFC), Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, has announced plans to provide $1 million to metals recycling company Triple M Metals to assist in the company's expansion project.
David Orazietti, a member of the Canadian Provincial Parliament for Sault Ste. Marie, says the money, which will include a loan of $500,000 and $500,000 grant, will be used toward purchasing new equipment, including an auto shredder for a Triple M Metals facility in Sault Ste. Marie.
"We are providing provincial funding to Triple M Metal through the NOHFC to support the expansion of a local business that is upgrading its equipment in order to increase competitiveness and create local jobs," Orazietti says. "Boosting economic opportunities in Northern Ontario is a top priority for our government, and we are ensuring the $100 million NOHFC fund is protected in the 2013 budget in order to help entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes," he adds.
"Triple M Metal LP is very excited about the start-up of our new, state-of-the-art automobile shredder at our Sault Ste. Marie facility," says Joe Caruso, president of Brampton, Ontario-based Triple M Metal LP. "In addition to providing up to five new positions, the installation has provided work for various local contractors. The new shredder enables Triple M to locally process scrap material originating in the North, and provide much needed raw material for the production of new steel."
The auto shredder is expected to cost around $4 million. Triple M operates 16 facilities, including 12 sites in Ontario.

Albuquerque police detectives are asking for help in finding a persistent, and determined, purse thief.
The same thief is suspected of taking three purses at city gas stations, all within one day last April, according to spokeswoman Tasia Martinez.
Detectives say the thefts took place on April 26 between 7:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. The thefts occurred at the Valero Gas Station, at 2900 Bridge SW, the Smith's Gas Station at 111 Coors NW, and a third station at 141 98th Street SW.
In all three thefts, the suspect either opened an unlocked door or smashed the window of an unattended vehicle. In one of the crimes, the suspect got into a physical fight with the purse owner, Martinez said in an email.
In another theft, the suspect is seen in a video surveillance tape stealing a purse and driving a green/silver van.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 843-STOP OR 242-COPS.

Tips and tricks for natural body care
Natural Lip Balm: Addicted to Lip Balm: Organic Essence Eco-Tube Lip Balms
Organic Essence has done it again! The same company that brought you shea butter in a compostable jar now offers five yummy lip balms in eco-tubes—biodegradable encasings that you can compost in your backyard—with 20 percent more balm than before. This is exciting for someone who is addicted to lip balm.
Organic Essence lips balms now come in eco-tubes with 20 percent more balm. Photo Courtesy Organic Essence.
The eco-tubes are cute. They remind me of push-pops. Another added benefit of this eco-tube is that you can get the very last bit of balm when the tube is running out—no wasting!
As always, Organic Essence eco-tubes are USDA Organic, with no preservatives, artificial colors or animal testing. And this time, no plastic container!
Flavors available are almond, grapefruit, mint, natural and vanilla. My favorite eco-tube is grapefruit, mostly because I have never had a balm in that flavor. Eco-tube balms cost $6.99 and are available at Organic Essence online.

Recommended Stories For You
What services do you offer? I offer yoga for beginners to intermediate students. Hatha yoga is a practice that uses active postures to increases endurance and strengthen muscles. Restorative Yoga is a more relaxed slower paced practice that helps calm your nervous system and relieve body pain. I also offer private sessions. Right now I am having a Spring Break Special. All new customers get their first drop-in class for only $5 (reg. $10) I also have a few affordable packages.
How long have you been in Windsor? I have been a yoga instructor for nearly a year, but I just started teaching yoga out of RMCSIC in January 2013. I have lived in Windsor for seven years. This is home, I wouldn't want to teach anywhere else.
Who is the owner? Elizabeth Kueny is the owner and operator of VIP Yoga.
Why did you want to start this venture? Any experience in the past? In 2007 I had an autoimmune reaction that the doctors couldn't figure out or treat me for it. I was left in a lot of pain with no answers or cure. I decided to try yoga. It helped me so much that I knew one day I wanted to help people to achieve their optimal wellness.
Why should people do business with you? My tagline is Yoga for Real People. I strive to make everyone's yoga experience positive and comfortable. I want people to reach their own potential with yoga and not worry about what the person next to them is doing. It is a serious practice without the serious environment.
What's the most challenging part of operating in the community? I am small and I don't have a variety of classes like the bigger fitness centers. As my class sizes grow I will add more classes.
What makes you unique? I bring a unique approach to my classes. I am the yoga student who gets intimidated in classes. When I started doing yoga I couldn't touch my toes. Today I can touch my toes but my body isn't built to be the most flexible person in the room. I have learned to embrace my flexible limitations and use it to help people feel more comfortable with what their bodies will allow them to do. I want to challenge my students in a noncompetitive environment.

So I started working out and watching my food back on Wednesday before Thanksgiving (I know why in the world the DAY before thanksgiving). Then I was 265 lbs. Since then 5 weeks of weigh-ins I'm down to 243 (22 lbs in 5 weeks). My problem isn't with weight loss (after 10 pounds the first week it has been ~3lbs per week).
My problem is shin splints. When I started running I was running only 1/2 a mile. Started out slow since it had been a long time since working out. In the 5 weeks I have increased up to 1.5 miles. I don't recall having any pain until I put myself through some HIIT runs ... something like 100m runs.
Now it seems to hurt whenever I run ... this seems tolerable (I feel it more in my calves/ankles). AFTER the run the shins hurt for up to an hour and then subsides for the most part.
Any Ideas? I just bought new running shoes cause I thought that might be the issue.

The ex-Gunners executive has spoken out in defence of the man he recruited to the north London side in September 1996 and believes success is a matter of squad building
Goal.com revealed in February that the French tactician is keen to remain at the Emirates beyond the current campaign despite heavy criticism, and would welcome the return of Dein to the club despite an acrimonious departure in April 2007.
Dein has now shared his belief that the 63-year-old Gunners manager, who he originally recruited during his time with the London outfit, still possesses the drive necessary to bring the side success.
|We're ready for a fight - Wenger
|Arsenal are 4/11 with Coral to finish in the top four
"I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be there. He is one of the best managers in the world. He has been coaching for thirty years."
Arsenal have fallen a long way behind league leaders Manchester United and Dean stressed the need to bring in new players, and is adamant that Wenger is the right man to oversee such rebuilding.
"He knows what he is doing. He knows what he wants and I think it's just a question of identifying the right talent," he continued.
"Clearly they have fallen 20 odd points behind Manchester United which is not good enough and it speaks for itself that he has to strengthen the team and I know he will do that."

Rumors had been flying around that there had been a celebrity death in Korea and it's now been confirmed that actor Choi Jin Young (39) had committed suicide on March 29th. An official at Yongdong Severance Hospital said, "Choi Jin Young committed suicide today. There were visible red marks around his neck when he arrived and he had already passed away. We understand from the police that he had hanged himself with electric cables on his own rooftop." After his KBS drama Is It Okay to Love in 2007, it was difficult to see his face or work in the media again. Choi Jin Young had reportedly been suffering from a mix of personal and professional issues in recent times before his death. Choi Jin Young's older sister Choi Jin Shil also committed suicide back in October 2008 after suffering through depression as well. Since her death, he has had to take on the heavy burden of raising her children together with his mother. It remains to be seen exactly what led Choi Jin Young down the same path as his sister. It's really tragic for Choi Jin Shil's children and her mother who now have to cope with 2 deaths in the family in the span of two years. His funeral procession will happen on the 31st where his body will be cremated and his ashes laid to rest beside his sister's grave.

The Basics of Astrology
Miss Gemini: compatibility with ?
Disclaimer: compatibility between signs constitutes only a small part of the characteristics of the couple's relationship. Indeed, it would be nonsensical to claim to be able to assess two persons' compatibility, or the lack of, on the sole position of the Sun in the sign where he is found in their astrological charts.
However, for some reason, it is obvious that certain signs get along better with some other signs. We provide here a short synthesis of compatibility basics. Its level of accuracy depends on how strongly your Sun sign is emphasized in your natal chart.
Our indications are given for a woman's chart. For a man, the meaning is quite the same, except that it is exactly the other way around. So, it is very simple to adapt our texts to the opposite gender. And don't forget to take a look at our advanced advices about astrological compatibility, at the free Love test and of course at the famous free CeleStar.
One last detail: does a zodiacal sign get along well with itself? The answer is not necessarily positive, contrarily to what one might think at the outset. The place where the Sun is posited expresses a will, a need for self-assertion, and some sort of authoritarianism; wills of a similar nature may clash in spite of the fact that they can understand each other. Therefore, harmony is uncertain and depends mainly on the remainder of the partners' natal charts. Nevertheless, compatibility is usually good, although not as much as in the case of complementary signs.
Perfect harmony
Miss Gemini, you will be very often attracted to men who have the Ascendant or the Sun in Sagittarius. You tremendously enjoy their taste for travelling, their mobility, and their vitality. They are not as sparkling as you, but they are warmer and they are driven by an imperative need for change and for faraway matters. They will slake the thirst for contacts and renewal that is part of your nature.
Excellent harmony
You will get along very well with Libra and Aquarius men. Libras are very charming, refined. They socialize a lot and you tremendously enjoy sharing their taste for parties and outings. Aquarians are very intellectual and witty. You equally appreciate their uniqueness and their ability to amaze you, thus keeping boredom at bay.
Good harmony
Leo and Aries men will also arouse your interest. You enjoy the enthusiasm of Leos, their capacity to take action, as well as their innate powers of seduction. You equally appreciate the swiftness, the spontaneity and the dynamism of Aquarians who will take you from adventure to adventure without giving you the time to get bored!
Possible conflicts: watch out!
There is a danger that conflicts will crop up with Virgo and Pisces men. Virgos are too calculating and tidy. Their seriousness will ultimately wear you down. Pisceans are very sentimental and passive. They will very rapidly give you the strange feeling that you are not on the same wavelength.
What about the four other signs?
To tell the truth, you must know that adjacent signs have nothing in common. Thus, the relationship you may experience with Cancer and Taurus men will be a bit neutral, neither good nor bad, certainly nothing nasty. Cancerians are so emotive, soft and deep that to you they seem to be from a different planet. Taurus are too placid for you, too slow and too far from your sense of humour.
Hot and cold, double-edged energy
Scorpio and Capricorn men stir up in you blended feelings of warm curiosity and natural distrust. Scorpios are so secretive, mysterious and introverted at the outset, and Capricorns are so stern, deep, and thoughtful, that the outcomes of the challenge seem quite uncertain!
Here are a few famous people with the Sun or the Ascendant in Gemini: thousands of celebrities with the Sun in Gemini, thousands of celebrities with the Ascendant in Gemini!
You can immediately look at the natal chart of each celebrity and their picture. Most often, a biography is also available along with the planets' positions, the house cusps, and the list of aspects. Of course, detailed birth data are provided: date, time and place of birth. With the famous Celestar, you are also offered the possibility to get an estimate of your affinities with about 35000 celebrities or measure it among them, and to examine dynamic charts featuring graphic options that you can customize. Our celebrity database is updated daily. To access our statistics and visualize natal charts with pop ups, the easiest way is to use the Celebrities, Statistics and Planets page.

text: Hi all, new poster here & I am concerned about the application process. About us: I'm from the United States & my wife is from the Dominican Republic. We've been legally married since 2003, after six years of dating. We have the marriage certificate from Costa Rica & we've already proved we are legally married once while applying for her US Visa a few years ago. We also have three daughters who were born in Costa Rica, but are US Citizens. A year ago my business in the Dominican Republic went broke & we decided to move back to the United States for good. We arrived in July & her Visa expired in August. I didn't have the $1400 to apply for her Green Card until now. We've been receiving food support to help us get by. We're settled now in the states & we have her interview tomorrow afternoon to turn in our paperwork for her Green Card. Here's the issue....Since I'm unemployed & don't have any money left after relocating our family to the US, can I sponsor her? I don;t really have any family who can or would be able to sponsor her. It's been very difficult for me to work with her being illegal because she can't drive or get around which makes me responsible for every aspect of our daily life. I'm 6 months short of my degree & am returning to college in January. What type of response should I expect? What should I be prepared for? Thanks in advance, Jim Mason

The sounds and smells of Christmas are in the air at Cedar Lake Tree Farm in Iron Station, where area residents are in search of the perfect Christmas tree.
Bill and Ruth Cline operate the farm, in business for its eleventh year. The Clines moved their tree farm and landscaping operation to Lincoln County from the Mt. Holly area to make way for I-485.
On Friday, the farm was doing a bustling business as families admired the large selection of mountain grown Fraser Firs along with a large stand of "cut your own†Virginia pines grown on the property.
"The first two weekends after Thanksgiving are the busiest of the season,†Bill Cline said. Cline prides himself on the freshness of trees available at the farm. He makes periodic trips to the N. C. Mountains to get freshly cut Fraser Firs and keeps them bundled until the day they are ready to be sold to preserve their moisture. Once customers choose their trees, workers take them to a station where workers saw a fresh cut off the base so that the tree will take up water when placed in its tree stand. The tree is then wrapped in nylon netting for easy transport.
The trees aren't the only draw to the family operated farm. In two farm sheds, Cline's wife Ruth and sister-in-law Sharon Rowland decorate handmade wreaths with a variety of bows and other decorations. Wreaths are crafted from fresh fir and boxwood into traditional circular shapes as well as other designs such as crosses. Customers will also find an abundance of freshly made garland for decorating their homes.
A variety of farm animals is on display for children and adults to enjoy. Alpacas from nearby Good Karma Alpaca Ranch seemed to be a crowd favorite with the adults, while the children seemed amazed by real turkeys trotting around in a small lot near the barn. In addition, chickens, guineas, cows and donkeys were available for customers to enjoy.
Kids can also enjoy climbing on the giant haystack and snacking on hot chocolate and homemade reindeer cookies.
Unlike some areas of the country, North Carolina experienced a very good growing season for Christmas trees this year.
"We had an excellent year,†Cline said. "We got plenty of rain and our trees grew very well.â€
Want to go?
Cedar Lake Tree Farm is located at 5829 East Hwy. 27 in Iron Station. The farm is open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays. The farm will be closing Dec. 20.

Gerard Butler confirms romance
Gerard Butler has been dating his girlfriend for seven months.
The Scottish actor has been linked to actress-and-model Madalina Ghenea, although he has not confirmed or denied the reports before.
Gerard squirmed during an interview on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno when he was questioned about the alleged romance and admitted he had been seeing someone on a regular basis.
"It's been seven months now… is it a record? No, it's not a record," Gerard joked. "Two nights is my usual standard."
Gerard appeared on the show to promote his new rom-com Playing for Keeps in which he portrays a former sports star who has fallen on hard times and starts coaching his son's soccer team as a way to get his life together. His attempts to grow up are met with challenges from the attractive soccer moms, who pursue him at every turn.
The movie also stars Jessica Biel, Dennis Quaid, Uma Thurman and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Gerard revealed a humorous incident that occurred during filming.
Gerard stayed on a houseboat during the shoot and while it wasn't that flashy to look at the cast enjoyed taking trips on the vessel.
During one such journey, Gerard's questionable captaining skills posed a problem for Dennis.
"One day Dennis came out with us and we were in this dock, with three sides to it which is where we parked it. Then I was driving it out, when I heard someone shout. I turned around and saw Dennis, he was there clinging onto the boat, but his feet were still on the jetty and he was hanging on for real life!" Gerard laughed.
"Then he falls in, so now he's hanging from the boat with his feet dangling in the water so I had to stop and get out and run round and get him back on the dock. I felt so bad! Then the boat was stuck as well, I was feeling so bad for Dennis I decided to jump into the water. It was literally this high [illustrates a height mid chest] hardly deep. And there I was thinking, 'Oh no I've killed Dennis Quaid!'"

© 2017 Toronto Argonauts. All rights reserved.
Now Reading
TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club would like to congratulate Head Coach Scott Milanovich who has been announced as one of three finalists for the 2012 CFL Coach of the Year award (Annis Stukus Award). This marks the second time in three seasons (Jim Barker, 2010) that an Argonauts head coach has been nominated for this award.
Commented Scott Milanovich, "I am truly humbled and honoured by this nomination. This was made possible by the work of many people throughout our organization including our entire coaching staff, personnel staff, players and front office. Congratulations to Coach Hufnagel and Coach Benevides, both of whom had tremendous seasons and are more than deserving of this award."
In his first season as a CFL head coach, Milanovich led the Argonauts to victory in the 100th Grey Cup championship game. His club powered to five straight wins down the stretch while players like CFL Most Outstanding Player, Chad Owens set career, club and league regular season and playoff records. The Argos' starting Grey Cup roster boasted five CFL rookie starters on defence and the team placed three players on the CFL all-star team. He installed a new and dynamic offence that returned explosive, winning football to Toronto. Under his guidance, the Double Blue scored more points (445) than any Argonauts team since 2005, and propelled QB Ricky Ray to his seventh career season with at least 4,000 passing yards.
With this announcement, Milanovich becomes the first Argonauts head coach to be nominated for the award since Jim Barker won it in 2010. Since 2002, an Argonauts head coach has been a finalist for the Annis Stukus award eight times (Michael Clemons from 2002-2007, Barker in 2010, Scott Milanovich in 2012).
The 2012 Coach of the Year nominees were selected by 45 voting members of the Football Reporters of Canada. Milanovich is up against Calgary's John Hufnagel and B.C.'s Mike Benevides for the award. The winner will be announced at a special luncheon on Thursday, February 28 at the Delta Regina in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Pepe Deluxe Release Deluxe Edition Of 'Queen Of The Wave' As A Coffee Table Book
When Pepe Deluxe release a record it's never something done by halves, but this possibly takes the biscuit (though in the most lavishly inspiring way ever!)
The Deluxe Edition of 'Queen Of The Wave' is out on Monday 26th November and is a true collector's item. Here's the video for 'A Night And A Day'. For more visit www.pepedeluxe.com
In January 2012 Pepe Deluxé – aka Finland's James Spectrum and Sweden's Paul Malmström – released 'Queen of the Wave', an album aptly described by Pop Matters as "the most impressive album ever painstakingly assembled across space and time" -10/10. It was an exhilarating, adventurous, and boldly experimental album ( "…an odyssey bursting with energy, colour and invention" – MusicOMH 4/5) in which Pepe Deluxé mixed up beats, psychedelia, funk and pop, like a pair of mad scientists, into a high-octane sonic explosion of a record. Inspired by the themes of Atlantis, Venus, sci-fi futurism and reincarnation – all written of in the mystical 19th Century novel 'A Dweller On Two Planets' – 'Queen of the Wave' could be described as the sound of a deliciously bizarre pop-opera, one which sonically "…makes Queen or Kanye's madly eclectic sonic excesses look like a campfire strum-along" – Mixmag.
'Queen of the Wave' featured: the Great Stalacpipe Organ (the world's biggest instrument, built into one of the Caverns of Luray, Virginia); an eclectic and talented pool of 63 collaborators including Samuli Kosminen of Múm, master metal drummer Kai Hahto, ArcAttack and their lethal Tesla coil synthesizer, the Czech Film Orchestra and the female voice actress of Shrek and Moomins; Edwardian and Victorian equipment and instruments, including a modified Edison ghost hunting machine (all painstakingly restored and played to sound like snippets from ultra rare records); and let us not forget the accompanying album companions with their comic-esque, b-movie scrapbook aesthetic and content including genuine linear notes from the Princess of Sweden to Professor of Astronomy (and part-time bad ass biker) Esko Valtaoja.
So it might be hard to see what could possibly better the original 'Queen of the Wave' brimming as it is with all the above and heralded as "the most ambitious, unique and fantastical pop opera this side of the sun." – Artrocker (Album of the Month). Simple. Never underestimate the inventive and creative powerhouse that is Pepe Deluxé for they have, with their 'Queen of the Wave' Deluxé Edition, surpassed even themselves.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
All of his symptoms are probably related to the same infection. It sounds that he probably does have pink eye (conjunctivitis). This and his other symptoms could be due to either a viral or a bacterial infection. With him having this combination of symptoms and the fever I would recommend that you take him to his pediatrician tomorrow.If this is bacterial then he would benefit from antibiotic therapy. If viral then at least the doctor would have a baseline for possible future comparison should his recovery not follow the expected rate of improvement. Also with cough plus fever it is important to listen to the lungs to ensure that there are not clinical signs of pneumonia.
I hope this information helps. Further questions are welcome if you have others. If my answer has been helpful and to your satisfaction then please remember to press the "ACCEPT" button. Thank you and Best Regards,

Legendary conductor Herbig makes the most of a rare piece with BPO
By Mary Kunz Goldman
News Classical Music Critic
"He's tough."
So went the whispers at Kleinhans Music Hall on Saturday night, regarding the guest conductor, Gunther Herbig. Herbig, a legend in his 80s, is making his debut with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. He is conducting an awesome, challenging symphony, Bruckner's Eighth. And – so the rumors went – he was really putting the musicians through their paces.
That was only one of the things making this weekend's concert so exciting.
The Bruckner Eighth is so massive and problematic that you do not hear it much. Josef Krips conducted it twice here, but there has been only one other performance, and it was more than 20 years ago. So it says something that Herbig, a compact and powerful figure, knows the mountainous symphony by heart and is conducting without a score.
Also, though the massive Bruckner often stands on its own, it is being paired this weekend with Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, with the 23-year-old violinist Benjamin Beilman as soloist. Beilman, in a last-minute twist of fate, is playing the "Mary Portman" Guarneri owned by Buffalo philanthropists Clement and Karen Arrison. The priceless instrument was once owned by Fritz Kreisler. A few years ago, the Arrisons suggested to The News that they thought it was pleasantly haunted, that it had a way of determining the next violinist who would play it.
So there you have it: a symphony you almost never hear, conducted from memory by a demanding Old World maestro, plus a violin phenom playing a haunted violin. Is this a wonderful town or what?
The concert is unusual from the word go. Beilman is a rare and wonderful violinist. He has a quiet singing tone that brought out the graces of the temperamental instrument that had just been placed in his hands. It suited the delicate nature of this concerto, with all its quicksilver, scampering melodies. Beilman also plays with guts, though, when the situation requires it. In the clear acoustics of Kleinhans you could feel the bow dancing across the strings and hear the occasional scrape. It made things thrilling.
Herbig, meanwhile, was the perfect conductor for the job. He is clearly detail oriented and aware of everything going on in the orchestra at any moment. Whereas some conductors are hands off and vague, Herbig is hands on. He holds the baton in his right hand and shapes the music with his left. He is always communicating. It was unusual how, from time to time, he turned directly to face Beilman and stayed there, eye to eye with him. They were that way through the entire crescendo at the end of the first movement.
And what a crescendo it was, the music speeding up just so, every swift note in its place. In this warm, witty, romantic concerto, precision is everything. And they had it, from the low sweep of the cellos to Beilman's trembling, dog-whistle high notes. The famous, songful Andante sang. (You know this, even if you don't think you do. Andrew Lloyd Webber ripped off the main theme for "I Don't Know How to Love Him," from "Jesus Christ Superstar.") The crowd gave the performance a passionate standing ovation.
The Bruckner, after intermission, began almost too suddenly. I would have waited a minute more just to finish setting the mood.
Otherwise, I would not dream of telling Herbig what to do. What a performance this was. This symphony is as massive as the Mendelssohn is delicate. The orchestra has been expanded for it. There are two harps. (Bruckner hoped for three, but ordinarily, we have just one.) There are eight horn players, and if you watch the four along the back wall, you will see them, now and then, swapping their French horns for gleaming "Wagner tubas," special instruments Wagner called for in his "Ring" cycle.
The symphony had depth and intimacy and held the interest all the way through, though it is well over an hour long.
Herbig paid loving attention to the music's subtleties, and the orchestra responded with some of the most beautiful playing I have heard in Kleinhans. The rapturous slow movement was incredibly polished, with delicately shifting colors and dynamics. There were brief, sculpted silences and then the music would emerge anew as if from a completely different angle.
One finely etched interlude that stands out in my mind had the flute playing solo against the backdrop of the Wagner tubas. Herbig paced the music well so that it never dragged and built to glorious crests. This symphony has the nickname "Apocalyptic" because the devout Bruckner supposedly had in mind St. Michael the Archangel's triumph over evil. Whether that is true or not, the ending Saturday was apocalyptic. Everything and everyone was in play. What a moment. What a concert to remember.
The adventure repeats today at 2:30 p.m.

Verna Edington
The Nebraska Signal
15 March 2000
Verna Nelson Edington was born in Chelsea Township on May 31, 1906. Her parents were John August Edward Nelson and Tekla Peterson Nelson. She died at Tabitha in Lincoln, on March 6, 2000, at the age of 93.
Verna attended Alpine School District 65, and graduated from Geneva High School in 1923. She then taught at Alpine before attending Wesleyan University and obtaining her teacher's certificate. It was while teaching in Grand Island that she met her future husband, James T. Edington. Verna continued to teach in Sterling, Colo. and Fairbury where her husband worked for the Chamber of Commerce. During and after the polio epidemic Jim worked with the Polio Foundation throughout the United States. Jim later served as Director of the Nebraska State merit System, and they made their home in Lincoln. Verna left teaching to raise their son, James R. She joined Methodist Churches wherever she lived and was a loyal member of St. Paul's in Lincoln until her death. She was also an active member of PEO, Chapter FW.
Verna's life was full of service to others through her church, PEO and teaching. She was a talented seamstress and singer, a wonderful cook, a devoted mother and wife, and a "devout" Swede. Rheumatoid arthritis struck Verna in her early 30's and yet she willed herself to keep active and useful and deal with that pain for almost 60 years.
Verna was preceded in death by her parents; husband, James T. Edington; sister, Sylvia Beams; brother-in-law, Albert Beams; brother, Oscar Nelson; and sister-in-law, Wilma Nelson.
She is survived by her son James R. Edington, daughter-in-law Karen, and grandson Ryan of Omaha; a niece, Christie Andersen of Seattle, WA; nephew, John Nelson and wife, Judith of Omaha; grandnieces and nephews, Martha, Andrew and Braden Nelson and Sarah Andersen.
Funeral services were held at the United Methodist Church on Thursday, March 9, with Rev. Brian Kottas and Rev. Warren Swartz officiating.
Delwyn Myers sang "Amazing Grace' and "The Lord's Prayer' accompanied by Susan Kleinschmidt.
Casket bearers were John Nelson, Braden Nelson, Keith Nunns, Rodger Anderson, Lowell Anderson and Tom Novak.
After one last trip to the farm where she was born and raised, interment was in the Geneva Public Cemetery.
Farmer & Son Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements.
Memorial donations can be given to Nebraska Wesleyan University or The National Arthritis Foundation.

Labour & European Law Review Weekly issue 200 13 January 2011
Tilson v Alstom Transport
Tribunals can "imply" a contract of employment between agency workers and "end users" in certain circumstances. In Tilson v Alstom Transport the Court of Appeal said, however, that they could not imply a contract if the parties would have acted in exactly the same way had there not been a contract.
Basic facts
Mr Tilson started working for Alstom as a technical engineer in August 2004 but his "relationship" with the company was terminated summarily in November 2006.
The relationship was complex in that Alstom paid his salary to a payroll company, Silversun. It had a contract to provide his services to a human resources company, Morson which, in turn, had a contract with Alstom.
A clause in the contract between Silversun and Morson said that neither Morson nor Alstom could exercise "any supervision, direction or control" over Mr Tilson in the "manner or performance" of his work.
Whilst working at the company, Mr Alstom had his own line manager; he had employees reporting to him; he had the power to recruit permanent staff; he was authorised to discipline and dismiss permanent employees; he signed time sheets for them; he worked full time; he had to notify his line manager before taking holiday; and he had to turn up personally to do the work required of him.
The company offered him a permanent job at one point but he turned it down, saying there were more tax advantages to his current arrangement under which he paid his own tax and National Insurance.
On termination of the relationship, he claimed unfair dismissal but the company said that as he was self-employed the tribunal could not hear his claim.
Tribunal and EAT decisions
However, the tribunal disagreed, saying that the contract between Silversun and Morson was "not a genuine reflection of the relationship between the parties", as Mr Tilson was clearly under the supervision, direction and control of Alstom in that he was fully "integrated" into the company.
As the contract between the two was a sham and the relationship between Mr Tilson and Alstom could not be explained by the contractual arrangements in place, the tribunal said it had to imply a contract to make sense of it and this could only be a contract of service.
But the EAT disagreed, saying that even if the clause was a sham, it did not invalidate the entire contract. Nor was there enough evidence to substantiate a finding of an implied contract of service. It pointed in particular to Mr Tilson's refusal to become an employee which, it said, showed that he considered himself to be an independent contractor.
Court of Appeal decision
And the Court of Appeal agreed with the EAT.
Relying on James v Greenwich Borough Council (weekly LELR 55), the Court said that a contract should only be implied when it was necessary to do so. It was not open to a tribunal to imply a contract just because it objected to employers "entering into arrangements of this kind in order to avoid incurring the obligations they owe to their employees."
The contract between Morson and Alstom under which Morson undertook to provide the services of Mr Tilson fully explained why he was working for Alstom. There was no evidence that Alstom acted inconsistently with the terms of that contract.
It agreed with the EAT that just because a clause in the contract between Silversun and Morson was bogus, that did not mean the entire contract was invalid. In any event, Alstom was not a party to that contract.
Instead, it said that the only proper inference to make was that the parties would have acted in exactly the same way if there had not been a contract and that "was fatal to the implication of a contract", a conclusion strongly reinforced by the conduct of the parties themselves.
Mr Tilson's case was not helped by the fact that he turned down a contract of employment. Arguably, the label that individuals put on their employment relationship should not be decisive. Even so, this case suggests that employees cannot expect to have their cake and eat it by taking the tax advantages of self-employment when it suits them but then arguing for employee status when it doesn't. In any event, following James v Greenwich Borough Council it is very difficult for agency workers to be able to successfully argue that they are employed by the end-user. This case is just another illustration of that.

Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-ray or particle beams to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. Typically it is a local treatment, affecting only the area of the body being treated.
Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer and is an option for men with various stages of prostate cancer. If you have early-stage, localized prostate cancer, your doctor will probably give you a choice of treating your disease with either radiation or surgery (radical prostatectomy) since cure rates are about the same for both of these treatments and at this point no studies have definitively established that one treatment is better than the other. Radiation also may be used after surgery if your cancer returns or in combination with other therapies if you have advanced prostate cancer. In the latter case, radiation may be used to provide pain relief at sites where the cancer has spread, such as the bone.
Radiation therapy is provided at several Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) locations. Two main types are used for prostate cancer: internal radiation therapy and external-beam radiation therapy. Some men with prostate cancer may have both types.
Internal Radiation Therapy
For prostate cancer, internal radiation therapy typically means brachytherapy. In addition, an injectable radiation therapy was approved in 2013 to treat advanced prostate cancer.
In brachytherapy, radioactive seeds are surgically implanted in the prostate to kill the cancer. The procedure takes about one-and-a-half hours. You may receive a general or a spinal anesthetic beforehand. The seeds are left in place and deliver low doses of radiation for weeks or months. The radiation typically travels only a short distance, which limits exposure to healthy tissues.
Brachytherapy is generally used in men with early-stage prostate cancer that is relatively slow growing. It may not be appropriate for more advanced prostate cancer and may also be limited by other technical factors. For example, it may not be suitable in men with large prostate glands, which makes correct placement of the seeds more complicated.
Radium 223 Dichloride (Xofigo)
In May 2013, radium 223 dichloride was approved to treat advanced prostate cancer that has become resistant to testosterone-lowering treatments and has spread to the bones. This form of radiation therapy is administered by intravenous (IV) injection every four weeks for six cycles.
External-Beam Radiation Therapy
External-beam radiation therapy aims radiation beams from outside your body at your cancer. This treatment can be used to cure localized prostate cancers or help relieve symptoms of cancer that has spread. It is typically given five days a week for seven to nine weeks, using a machine that looks like an X-ray machine. Getting in place for the treatment typically takes longer than the treatment itself, which lasts only a few minutes. The procedure is not painful.
Depending on your exact needs, your radiation oncologist will likely recommend one of three forms of external-beam radiation therapy: proton therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
Normal daily variation in your internal anatomy and the position of your prostate, bladder, and rectum presents challenges to delivering external radiation to your cancer while minimizing effects on your healthy surrounding tissue. Before you begin treatment, imaging tests are done to find the exact location of your prostate. Marks made on your skin and body molds may be used to focus the radiation beams accurately during each treatment session.
GPS for the Body
SCCA incorporates the latest technology to provide the most precise treatment possible. Our radiation oncologists were instrumental in developing the Calypso System, also known as GPS for the Body. We use this system to detect even the slightest tumor movement during radiation treatments so your tumor gets the right amount of radiation and other nearby organs don't receive radiation that is not meant for them.
The position of the target tissue is tracked using radiofrequency waves from miniature Beacon electromagnetic transponders implanted in your prostate in an outpatient procedure much like a biopsy. Your radiation oncologist uses signals from the transponders to accurately align your prostate before each session and to monitor the position of your prostate at all times during the session. If your prostate moves outside of the thresholds set for your treatment, this is adjusted for in real time to make sure you get the most precise treatment possible.
Proton Therapy
Proton therapy is an advanced form of radiation treatment. Because doctors can focus proton beams so precisely on tumors, limiting radiation to surrounding healthy tissues, proton therapy is recommended most often for anatomically complex tumors, where it's imperative to avoid damaging nearby organs and other structures. This makes it a good option for prostate cancer. Learn more about proton therapy for prostate cancer.
IMRT uses a computer-controlled linear accelerator to move around the patient to deliver radiation. In addition to shaping the beams and aiming them at the tumor from several angles, the intensity of the beams can be adjusted to lessen the dose that reaches sensitive normal tissue. This technique may be used if tumors are near important structures.
Similar to IMRT, VMAT typically takes even less time, as the linear accelerator rotates around the patient in a continuous arc. This may permit even more precisely tailored radiation plans and benefit patients who find it difficult to be still for the usual treatment duration. Monitoring tools and 3D volumetric imaging allows doctors to accurately locate the tumor and precisely deliver the dose.
Side Effects of Radiation Therapy
Normal cells that are near your cancer may be affected by radiation, which can lead to side effects. The side effects and the time it takes to get over them vary greatly from person to person and depend on the type and dose of radiation and your overall health.
The most common short-term side effects of radiation therapy for prostate cancer include fatigue, slight reddening of the skin in the treatment area, temporary lowering of blood counts, and urinary and bowel side effects. Brachytherapy and radium 223 dichloride may have some additional or different side effects.
Talk with your treatment team about the side effects that are most common with your treatment and about the possible long-term effects. Your doctor may give you medicines to prevent or relieve side effects. For general advice, see the symptom management section. Read more about potential urinary and sexual side effects of prostate cancer treatment.

Pizza delivery drivers robbed minutes apart in Raleigh
Posted June 21, 2013
Raleigh, N.C. — Two pizza delivery drivers were robbed within minutes of each other Friday at separate locations in Raleigh, prompting renewed concerns about occupational safety.
The first robbery happened at 10:40 a.m. as a Papa John's employee was delivering to the 6500 block of Daybrook Cricle, police said. The driver was robbed of cash and the pizza.
Three minutes later, a Domino's driver was robbed of cash and pizza while delivering to the 6200 block of St. Regis Circle.
Raleigh police said the second robbery may have been a crime of opportunity while the first was intentional.
The crimes have pizza shop owners worried.
Rania Droubi and her family recently bought Mr. Pizza & Salad on Peace Street. They plan to start delivery service next month.
"When we said we don't have delivery, they get mad and tell us bad things. We're going to lose business and we're going to lose customers," she said about the decision to start delivery.
Pizza delivery drivers are often called to unfamiliar neighborhoods. The uncertainty of what may happen can be unsettling, but drivers say it's part of the job.
"We should be careful," Droubi said. She plans to set safety guidelines for her drivers.
"One of the rules: They can't go inside. Just give them the delivery," she said.
