The 2009-2010 newsletter features profiles of Terasaki Chair Daniel Foote and Terasaki Postdoctoral Fellow Mayumi Manabe.
Welcome to the new academic year. The Paul I. and Hisako Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies is set for a busy, exciting year. Indeed, we managed to get started even before the start of classes. On September 11-12, with support from the Terasaki Center and the UCLA International Institute, I hosted a 30-person Workshop on Japan's Post-Bubble Political Economy. The Workshop took place less than two weeks after Japan's historic general election, in which the ruling party was swept from power after more than 50 years on top. We began the meeting with a lively roundtable about the causes and expected consequences of the change in government before turning to the presentation of a dozen excellent papers spanning everything from local politics to international relations.
We have two more research workshops on the docket this year, led by Professors Shoichi Iwasaki and Torquil Duthie, respectively, as well as a graduate student symposium in mid-October. And, as always, we are assembling a full slate of colloquia. We include in these pages the schedule as it stands now, but I invite you to keep tabs on the Center website for updates, especially for Winter and Spring quarters.
We were very honored in 2008-09 to have Professor Shigeru Nakayama as the Terasaki Chair for U.S.-Japan Relations. We are thrilled this year to have Professor Daniel Foote, from the University of Tokyo Law School as the Chair holder. Professor Foote is already teaching a course in the UCLA School of Law, and will offer a senior seminar on "Politics and Justice in Japan" in the Political Science Department during Winter Quarter.
Professor Aaron Moore has returned to Arizona State University after a very successful year as the first-ever Terasaki Postdoctoral Scholar. Our second Terasaki Postdoc is Mayumi Manabe, a scholar of Japanese literature. She will teach a course in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures in the Spring. CJS Staffer Lorena Olvera has interviewed both professors Foote and Manabe, and summaries of those conversations are included in this Newsletter. Welcome to Dan and Mayumi!
You will also see in the Newsletter an announcement of a major new acquisition by the UCLA Library, the Prange Collection, that we at the Center were privileged to support. We have used the Terasaki Program Support Fund to invest in special storage cabinets and a dedicated microform reader, and we created a Visiting Researcher Grant Program to entice scholars to come to UCLA to take advantage of the Collection and contribute to the Japanese Studies community here. We are very grateful to everyone at the library who worked to make this happen, and I would particularly like to single out History Professor William Marotti and Japanese Studies Librarian Ms. Toshie Marra for their efforts in making the case to acquire the Prange Collection.
As we all know, the UC system is in the midst of an unprecedented fiscal crisis. State support for the university has been slashed, and deeper cuts are expected over the next several years. Accordingly, UCLA support for research centers such as ours is likely to decline dramatically. We are more grateful than ever for the generous support of our donors, without whom our commitments to graduate student and faculty research, to public colloquia and community outreach, and to a broad-based approach to Japanese Studies would quickly become unsustainable.
On behalf of the Faculty and Staff of the Terasaki Center, I wish you a healthy, prosperous academic year.

The truth about spygate - read this article before shooting your mouths off !!
Tom Brady, as a general rule, does not play all that well against the Baltimore Ravens.
Sure, he's 5-2 against them in his career and beat them to reach the Super Bowl last season. But he had almost as much to do with the Ravens' near-upset in the AFC title game as he did the Patriots win — Brady completed 22 of 36 passes with no touchdowns and a pair of interceptions.
Even when New England knocks off Baltimore, that's pretty par for the course for Brady, whose 74.1 career QB rating against the Ravens is his worst against any team in the league.
"You play against a team like this, that's able to adjust because of their personnel and because they do a lot of things schematically, there are a lot of 'what ifs' in preparation throughout the course of the week," said Brady this week, according to the Associated Press. "That's really what we're trying to hone in on this week."
Brady will be down one big weapon on Sunday: tight end Rob Gronkowski. Even with Gronkowski in the lineup for the majority of last year's conference championship game, Brady struggled to find a groove against Baltimore.
Two annoying thorns in Brady's side were, not surprisingly, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. The Ravens used those two as key swing points in their defense, asking them to cover, at different points during the game, just about every potential receiver the Patriots had.
Our second "Break It Down" of conference championship week looks back at Brady's AFC title-game performance against the Ravens last season …
The Ravens most often rushed four against the Patriots in that game, but when they brought three or blitzed, that change-up often was accompanied by Jarrett Johnson's presence on the field or Paul Kruger dropping in coverage.
The Patriots do not have to worry about Johnson this time around — he left via free agency last offseason — but the Ravens feature many of the same pass-rushing weapons in Haloti Ngata, Kruger, Terrell Suggs, plus Ma'ake Kemoeatu, who sat out 2011.
It's not hard to figure why Baltimore chooses to simplify its rush against Brady: the more defenders in pass coverage, the better.
Here, the Patriots send five out against a two-deep look from the Ravens.
Both Aaron Hernandez and Gronkowski headed to Brady's right on the play, and he looked to those two targets first — Hernandez, who came out of the backfield, was covered by a cornerback; Gronkowski had Johnson all over him.
Brady's third option was Wes Welker, who landed right in Lewis' area over the middle.
By the time Brady made it to choice No. 4, Deion Branch, the Ravens were closing on him as well. The result was an incompletion.
Hernandez will not come out of the backfield much, if at all, on Sunday, due to Gronkowski's absence and the Patriots' solid stable of running backs.
But, back to Lewis and Reed. Their defense up the middle, ideally if you're Baltimore, takes away huge chunks of real estate right in front of Brady, pushing the Patriots' offense to the boundaries.
The tough part for Brady is that Baltimore does that in a variety of ways. In the shot below, the Ravens dropped Bernard Pollard into a one-deep look, then moved Reed up just offset from Lewis.
Lewis then just planted in the middle of the field, almost as a defender spying on the quarterback would. Reed pulled down in man coverage on Welker, leaving Pollard alone in deep help. This is a fine scenario for the Ravens — and it resulted in a Lardarius Webb interception, as Brady tried to hit Julian Edelman deep.
Why this worked for Baltimore: Reed took away Welker, Lewis shut off the short-middle, the Ravens trusted their outside corners to defend Edelman and Deion Branch one-on-one, and both Gronkowski and Hernandez ran into tight coverage to Brady's blindside.
The Ravens rushed four, had a man deep and covered all their bases underneath.
Here's another example with a similar approach. Baltimore sent just three in the play pictured below, again setting Lewis in the middle of the field and asking Reed to come down on a receiver (Hernandez, this time).
Brady tried to hit Gronkowski out wide, only to overthrow him.
While it's true, as Brady said, that the Ravens shift their looks around frequently, the basics are relatively tame — count on the rush to create a little pressure and work the matchups in the back seven.
This is another incompletion from Brady. He tried to hit Hernandez, sweeping wide up the left sideline, with Reed tailing him. Lewis then stepped up to cover Danny Woodhead.
The coverage was there, and Brady could not fit a pass in between Reed and Pollard downfield.
Brady's challenge is to find the holes in Baltimore's defense and adjust his play calling to hit them. He can be brilliant at that aspect of the game, but he has struggled to pick it up against the Ravens.
And those holes are there, by design. Baltimore often sacrifices a ferocious pass rush against New England (it had just one sack in last year's AFC title game) and leaves some manageable gaps, in an effort to force the Patriots where the defense wants them to go.
For example, on that play we just looked at … here's how the field looked behind Lewis and in front of Pollard:
There's a huge gap there, but the Patriots could not find it.
When Baltimore blitzes, Brady has an easier time eyeballing those openings. Even when the Ravens blitzed conservatively last year, such as on the play pictured below with Lewis and a cornerback coming, it simplified Brady's job.
All he had to do there was throw at the blitz.
Hernandez made the catch for a 9-yard pickup above, with Welker also open next to him.
Per Pro Football Focus, the Ravens blitzed eight times in last year's AFC title game … and Brady completed 100 percent of his passes (8 for 8 for 93 yards). When the Ravens did not blitz and still generated pressure, Brady's completion percentage dropped to 14.3 (1-for-7). And in Baltimore's Week 3 win over New England this season, Brady hit 12-of-15 passes when the Ravens blitzed.
Why the disparity?
Well, the Ravens' front is talented enough to create some havoc without extra help, and the seven- and eight-man coverage walls put the Patriots at a numbers disadvantage, even with five-receiver routes.
New England's best success in the AFC title game came when they flipped the matchups, such as in this play pictured below when the Patriots managed to get Welker in space against Lewis.
Lewis does a lot of things well, but that's not a matchup he will win often.
The Patriots found those mismatches against Houston last week by utilizing their running backs — specifically, Shane Vereen, who bounced from the backfield to out wide, allowing the Patriots to move those one-on-one RB-vs.-LB showdowns to better spots.
With Gronkowski out of the lineup this week, the Patriots likely will try to do more of that.
The question is: Can Brady find those advantageous situations and exploit them? He has not been able to do so with any regularity in the past against Baltimore, including in the 2012 AFC title game.
The truth about spygate - read this article before shooting your mouths off !!
There is a difference this time around. The Pats have established a strong runnning game and Brady has great chemistry with his RBs coming out of the backfield. The Ravens may have a harder time getting to Brady if the Pats are gaining 4 or 5 Yards running the ball. Looking for the Pats to run the ball at least 40% of the plays. Those screen passes in the flat to the RBs is just another form of running from the Pats offense. Pats will find the mismatches and exploit it to their advantage. Should be a close game......24-20 Pats.

With an excellent view of the harbor, this place is a great place for a boozy brunch or a happy hour cheers!
Horrible Service and Poor Management – The service at this new restaurant was awful! The new ownership is inexperienced and I definitely will not be going to this location again, nor do I recommend it to anyone. Such a shame too, because I enjoyed the food served at the Redondo Beach location 15 years ago and was looking forward to it.
very good food! – They must have opened about a year or so ago at this location. The food is great. Their signature dish with the sauce to dip is very good but a little bit spicy for me. Overall very nice restaurant on the waterfront.
Just like I remembered... – I love coming here!! All these bad reviews makes me wonder if someone put them up to it, just saying... I had a wonderful experience, food, service, ambiance, it wasn't lacking in anything. I felt the recipe was exactly as I remembered it, but the shrimp were much better and bigger. I had no problems with service at all!!!! However I'm a firm believer you get what you give, so perhaps.........
Anyway, if you're an ol Killer Shrimp fan, you will be happy their back. Hope this helps
Best Service, and Best Food in L.A.!!!! – Unbelievable how awesome this place is. Dont listen to these A holes that are bashing the place. I have eaten at this restaraunt more than anyone, so I have the right to be the one critic that you listen to and trust. I have had everything on the menu, and it is prepared absolutely perfect everytime. The menu has expanded, and they even have the best Pork Chop on Earth now!!!! I never thought i would go to a sea food joint and have a pork chop, but it is unbelievable!!!! Anyhow, if you havnt tried the place, come on down. The staff will treat you perfect, and the price is right! You get 5 star food, for a very slim price. The chef is a master, and he and his crew, are right there for you to view, and see your food being prepared. This is also one of the few places that you will go to, that the owner of the restaraunt is also present. That says a lot..... This place cares, and i challenge you to find better service, better food, or a friendlier staff, at a price you can afford. All the haters that left bad reviews on here, Thank You for not coming back... Saves room for us honest people!!! Gods Speed, Rob
HORRIBLE SERVICE. AVERAGE FOOD – I was extremely disappointed in the service. Waitress never brought the baked potato. I reminded her, then waited 10 minutes to receive it. By that time, I had finished 1/2 the meal. She never came over to ask how the meal was nor even asked if I ever needed water in my 1/2 full glass.
The manager comped the potato and then with a transparent smile asked if I wanted some water.
BTW, shrimp was bland in the heavily buttery broth.
This restaurant is on my NO recommend list.
bad bad bad even as bait it's bad – The food is so bad it would not make good bait. I'll never eat there again. went there with 6 friends and they all say the same.
I SHALL NOT RETURN – I ordered the original shrimp bowl with bread. For some reason it was not as good as I remember. The broth was watery. It lacked the complex spiciness I remember. There was also an oil or fat component that was missing. I tried to remedy this by adding butter myself. But that cut the spiciness.
I've always had great meals at the Valley and old MDR location. So good that I always looked forward to returning. I will not return to their new location for the food. GREAT location, though. Maybe I should try their drinks in the bar and just enjoy the view of the Marina.
Can't believe it,it wasn't so bad
Great food, but I've had better service EVERYWHERE else – If I was basing this review solely on the food, it would be 5 stars easily. However, sadly the service is so poor here that I can't help but voice my opinion on this.
Food: Amazing. 'Nuff said. If my review was based solely on this, it'd be 5 stars.
Atmosphere: The bar area where I eat every time I come here has music WAY too loud where everyone else in the room has to talk over it. That and the acoustics in there are HORRIBLE. But not taking off any stars for this.
Service: I've eaten here 4 times and each time the service has gotten worse and worse. I've seen my beer sitting up waiting for the waitress to pick it up & I've been neglected at the bar for so long that I want to reach around and pour myself another one and just tell the bartender. However, today's service took the cake. First, our waitress walks up REEKING of cigarettes and talking like she's extremely hung over, mumbling her words and speaking so softly we had to ask her to repeat everything she said. We put in our order of beers, shrimp pasta bowls, and some appetizers. Our waitress was so busy putting the happy hour cards on tables that our appetizers came out before our first round of drinks. As she's putting down my beer, she spills it on the chair next to me, all over my sweatshirt I put down there. No apology, no napkins, nothing from her. Good. Our food comes, and I ask the waitress to switch one of the TVs to the UCLA football game. She says she'll get right on it. We eat, she comes back about 3 times and asks how the food is and how we're doing, but nothing on switching the game over. She then starts putting candles on every table, including ours while we're eating. We finish, the bus boys clear our table, and we wait. 10 minutes go by, she doesn't come back. 15 minutes go by, she finally comes back. I hand her my credit card to expedite the process. Boy was I wrong. It took her TEN minutes to go back, run my card, and give me my receipt. Honestly, you have to try hard to suck this bad at being a waitress. It's sad that eating at Killer Shrimp is such an ordeal because I love the food here. If they ever decide to step up their service game, this would be a great restaurant. Until then, I'll only eat here when I know I have an extra hour to waste dealing with the wait staff.
Welcome Back – Happy you guys are back...have been twice and both times service was great and so was the food. Can't wait to take my parents here when they visit for the holidays. Yum Yum!
Absolutely delicious! – I am a huge fan of shrimp so I recently went online to find local restaurants that have great shrimp dishes. . . thank god I found Killer Shrimp! I got the Shrimp w/ rice and my girlfriend got the the Lobster Macaroni and Cheese. Both were great, but I think I would stick with the shrimp with rice. It was spicy without burning my mouth. I think we're definitely going to be regulars at this one!

I shut 'em down. This was an initial inspection on this store. W2 was also disconnected. Having the shop quote them for a thorough heat insp, but I'm going out on a limb here to say its the plugged evap coil.

1995. There's a 3rd Carrier up there, also a 1995 that has a plugged distributor manifold. Which we're quoting repair and replace.
Bet my next paycheck that hx is full of holes. Flames rolling out tripping the bypassed limits.
Heat inspection? Just remove the 20 screws holding the side discharge cover on.
That style notorious for holes in hx after 6yrs..replaced alot last heating season
I'd quote to replace those units. They're 119 in dog years.

A buddy of mine scored almost all of the remaining supply of the mythical Fred Johnson mag rims, and i'm helping out with the last steps so they can hit the road.
The last steps being the cutting, sleeving, joining and drilling.. Here's what we got (this is about 1/4 of them):
Some of you are familiar w/ these rims from Donald's amazing Ruegamer WW bike. He has tuned them down to around 215g w/ some aggressive drilling on the rim beds. These are about 285g stock, without doing anything crazy to them.
Looking at these, i wonder about all the rim manufacturers and what they had to figure out to cut their rims accurately. I take for granted that they are always going to be the same diameter, w/ a good seam, and that a tire will always fit not too loose/ not too tight..

Prostate Cancer
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in American men. Despite the fact that this cancer was diagnosed in an estimated 241,740 American men in 2012 and led to the death of approximately 28,170 men, there is no universally agreed-upon strategic plan for its detection, diagnosis, and management. The estimated number of cases increased from the previous year. However, the death rate per 100,000 people declined 3.7% per year from 2004 to 2008, and the denominator (the older population) grew, so the overall rate of death is lower.
The risk of developing prostate cancer begins to increase at age 50 years in white men who have no family history of the disease and at age 40 years in black men and those who have a first-degree relative (father, brother) with prostate cancer. Risk increases with age, but, unlike other cancers, prostate cancer has no "peak" age or modal distribution. There has been a downward "age migration" in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) era such that the median age at diagnosis is now approximately 60 years.
The highest incidence of prostate cancer in the world is found in American black men, who have approximately a 9.8% lifetime risk of developing this cancer. This rate is slightly higher than the 8% lifetime risk for American white men. Black men have an incidence of prostate cancer that is 1.6 times that of white men.
The Japanese and mainland Chinese populations have the lowest rates of prostate cancer. Interestingly, although Japanese immigrants to the United States have a higher incidence of prostate cancer than Japanese people living in Japan, their rate is still about half that of American whites.
Socioeconomic status appears to be unrelated to the risk of prostate cancer, and the explanation for racial variability is unknown. However, an interplay of diet, hormonal factors, and genetics likely accounts for the variability.
The incidence of prostate cancer is highest in Scandinavian countries (22 cases per 100,000 population) and lowest in Asia (5 per 100,000). Risk may be inversely related to ultraviolet light exposure, as the incidence increases the farther one lives from the equator. However, studies show extremely high rates of prostate cancer in populations of African heritage, such as Jamaicans.
Etiology and Risk Factors
Family History
Men who have a first-degree relative with prostate cancer have approximately a twofold increased risk of developing prostate cancer during their lifetime. An individual who has two first-degree relatives with prostate cancer has a ninefold increase in lifetime risk.
True hereditary prostate cancer occurs in a small number of men and tends to develop at an early age (< 55 years old).
Dietary Fat
Although early studies suggested a link between dietary fat and prostate cancer risk, more recent studies have failed to confirm these observations. Thus, the relationship between dietary fat and prostate cancer risk remains unclear. Using animal models, one study pointed to high levels of simple carbohydrates being a culprit in promoting prostate cancer growth.
Studies indicate that progression of prostate cancer, which is likely to be more clinically relevant, has different risk factors from those associated with its initiation/incidence and that some of these risk factors are likely modifiable. Findings from the Health Professionals Follow-up study have, however, demonstrated different dietary risk factors for the incidence compared with progression of prostate cancer. For example, African-American race, a positive family history, low consumption of tomato products, and high consumption of alpha-linolenic acid have been associated with higher risks of incident prostate cancer. However, height, body mass index, low physical activity, smoking, low consumption of tomato sauce, high calcium and alpha-linolenic acid intake, African-American race, and positive family history have all been associated with more advanced cancer.
In addition, findings suggest that cruciferous or brassica family vegetables may reduce the risk of advanced prostate cancer. This family includes broccoli, cauliflower, cole slaw, and sauerkraut. Interestingly, the intake of brussels sprouts, spinach, and mustard greens did not appear to be protective, and the consumption of fruit was not associated with the incidence or progression of prostate cancer.
Several large epidemiologic studies suggest that vasectomy may increase the relative risk of prostate cancer by as much as 1.85. However, these same studies do not report an increased risk of dying from prostate cancer associated with vasectomy but do indicate a statistically increased risk of dying from lung cancer. These findings argue against an association between vasectomy and prostate cancer. Currently, this association is unproved and does not constitute grounds for fundamental changes in the use of vasectomy.
Sexual Activity/Sexually Transmitted Disease
A large prospective study of more than 29,000 men demonstrated an association between high ejaculatory frequency (more than 21 ejaculations/month) and a decreased risk of prostate cancer, with a lifetime relative risk of 0.67. However, there may be several confounding factors associated with high sexual activity, such as differences in prostate cancer screening or lifestyle. There was no associated increased risk for men in the lowest ejaculatory frequency category.
Inflammation may underlie the findings associated with a relatively higher risk of prostate cancer in men seen in sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics, but it may also be related to screening bias. Several cohort studies and one meta-analysis have demonstrated a protective role for the daily intake of aspirin and the risk of prostate cancer. In addition, the lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory statin compounds have been associated with a reduction in the risk of high-grade tumors. These findings require prospective validation in randomized trials.
Recent data related to a possible viral etiology of prostate cancer (ie, the XMRV virus) have now been formally withdrawn; they were likely due to a contamination artifact and are unlikely to be causally related to prostate cancer.
Active research into the chemoprevention of prostate cancer is ongoing. Two prospective randomized trials have demonstrated a 20% to 25% reduction in the risk of prostate cancer among men randomized to receive either finasteride or dutasteride (Avodart) daily vs men on the placebo arm. Finasteride or dutasteride chemopreventive agents have not been universally accepted, however, because of concerns over the relative merits of prevention of low-grade disease, with little effect on high-grade tumors. In addition, concerns over side effects such as impotence, as well as reductions in PSA levels with these therapies that may make cancer detection more challenging, have limited the generalized use of these drugs and thus an individualized risk/benefit discussion about use of these agents as preventive measures is recommended. Finally, randomized trials using selenium and vitamin E have failed to demonstrate a benefit of these agents to reduce prostate cancer risk. Ongoing studies will examine vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acid supplementation as preventive strategies in cancer, including prostate cancer. Andriole and colleagues reported on a long-term prostate cancer prevention study with dutasteride (a dual 5-alpha reductase inhibitor) in men with an elevated PSA level and a negative initial biopsy. They demonstrated a 22.8% relative risk reduction overall in prostate cancer incidence (5.1% absolute risk), although the for-cause rate of biopsies (ie, not protocol-specified) was not different between the two arms. There was an apparent greater reduction in this trial of low-grade (Gleason score < 7) tumors, and no major effect in preventing higher-grade tumors, with a higher percentage of Gleason score 8-10 tumors detected in the dutasteride arm in years 3 and 4. Dutasteride is known to reduce PSA levels by more than twofold, and its use in prevention should take into account consideration of risk and uncertainty around the benefits, appropriate surveillance strategies for patients while they are being treated with a dihydrotestosterone inhibitor, and side effects including erectile/sexual dysfunction. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ruled that dutasteride is not approvable for prostate cancer chemoprevention.
Sidebar: Studies of smoking in relation to prostate cancer mortality or recurrence in prostate cancer patients are limited, with few prostate cancer–specific outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the relation of cigarette smoking and smoking cessation with overall, prostate cancer–specific, and cardiovascular disease mortality and biochemical recurrence among men with prostate cancer. This was a prospective observational study of 5,366 men diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1986 and 2006 in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. There were 1,630 deaths, 524 (32%) due to prostate cancer and 416 (26%) due to cardiovascular disease, and 878 biochemical recurrences. Absolute crude rates for prostate cancer–specific death for never vs current smokers were 9.6 vs 15.3 per 1,000 person-years; for all-cause mortality, the corresponding rates were 27.3 and 53 per 1,000 person-years. Smoking at the time of prostate cancer diagnosis is associated with increased overall and cardiovascular disease mortality and prostate cancer–specific mortality and recurrence. Men who have quit for at least 10 years have prostate cancer–specific mortality risks similar to those who have never smoked (Kenfield SA et al: JAMA 305:2548-2555, 2011).
Sidebar: The initial report of the SELECT trial (Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial) found no reduction in risk of prostate cancer with either selenium or vitamin E supplements. The study aimed to determine the long-term effect of vitamin E and selenium on risk of prostate cancer in relatively healthy men. A total of 35,533 men from 427 study sites in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico were randomized between August 22, 2001, and June 24, 2004. The current report includes 54,464 additional person-years of follow-up and 521 additional cases of prostate cancer since the primary report. Compared with the placebo (referent) group, in which 529 men developed prostate cancer, 620 men in the vitamin E group developed prostate cancer (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.17; 99% confidence interval [CI], 1.004–1.36, P = .008), as did 575 in the selenium group (HR = 1.09; 99% CI, 0.93–1.27; P = .18) and 555 in the selenium plus vitamin E group (HR = 1.05; 99% CI, 0.89–1.22, P = .46). Compared with placebo, the absolute increase in risk of prostate cancer per 1,000 person-years was 1.6 for vitamin E, 0.8 for selenium, and 0.4 for the combination. Dietary supplementation with vitamin E significantly increased the risk of prostate cancer among healthy men (Klein EA et al: JAMA 306:1549-1556, 2011).
Signs and Symptoms
Early-Stage Disease
Men with organ-confined prostate cancer often are completely asymptomatic, given the predominant posterior peripheral zone location of prostate adenocarcinomas. Men with a large component of benign prostatic hyperplasia often present with bladder outlet obstruction unrelated to prostate cancer.
Locally Advanced Disease
Bladder outlet obstruction is the most common sign of locally advanced prostate cancer. A few men with locally advanced disease present with hematuria, urinary tract infections, and irritative voiding symptoms secondary to bladder outlet obstruction.
Advanced Disease
Rarely, men with bulky lymph node metastasis may present with bilateral lower-extremity edema. Men with bony metastasis often present with bone pain and, uncommonly, with lower-extremity weakness or paralysis from spinal cord compression.

Celtics Morning Joe: Green needs to continue good play
|Posted by shawn cassidy on February 2, 2013 at 5:30 AM
Green has worked him self up as of late. Jeff Green must take Rondo's spot in a sense as the guy who needs to score, and do the intangibles. Green has given us a year of highlights, and a year of up, and down basketball. But he hold the ball in his court, and I think more opportunities come up because Rondo is gone, and I also give him kudos because I haven't seen anything out there that suggests Green has bashed Rondo.
Asked what a highlight-reel dunk does for him, Jeff Green shrugged and offered, "Nothing. Two points."
Maybe the answer should have been expected, but the reporter was incredulous. Nothing?!
"Well for my team, it's an extra boost of energy and you see the way the bench reacts," added Green. "The crowd goes wild. That helps us out. But it's two points at the end of the day. I just try to make a good play. It just happens to be that."
So, the reporter pursued, you're suggesting it doesn't get you going?
"You've seen me, same facial expressions, same demeanor," said Green. "I don't have any kind of -- I don't yell, I leave that to Kevin [Garnett]. I don't do the antics, the chest bump."
Then Green stopped, realizing he had caught himself in a bit of a lie. After a thunderous poster jam over Nikola Vucevic, he did his little Ironman/Superman rip-open-the-chest celebration that serves as a calling card in his first season back from heart surgery.
"I did it tonight. I did it tonight," Green said with a smile. "But that's because of [Jason Terry]; he wants me to do it. But my first thought is to get back on defense. I don't want [Celtics coach] Doc [Rivers] yelling at me."
Green's defense has sparked my interest. He played very against Lebron, and he three amazing blocks Friday night. Doc wants more rebounding from everyone since Sully is out, and frankly since Rondo is gone. Green can be something truly special this season if he continues to play like this, and he'll get the chance since the Celtics are not as deep as they were.

So yeah, I'm glad that Green has awoken, finally. Just don't ask me to sing songs for him.
Franklin says...
Paul sing for him.lol Green playing hard defense is what I care about.
It's a little late for me to sing for Green. I'll sing for KG and Sully. The rest I guess I gotta tolerate... for now ... if this team stumbles some of them will be gone, maybe a lot of them

Benefit Corporations (a legal designation) and Certified B Corporations (a third-party certification) are changing the landscape of sustainable business. Here's the latest from around the web about this important movement:
- Momentum continues to spread: Pennsylvania has become the 12th state to sign B Corporation legislation into law!
- Ready to become a Massachusetts B Corporation on December 1st? The Massachusetts Secretary of State has released guidance on benefit corporations to help you.
- Best read this week: a great summary of the B Corp movement from the New York Times, which labeled B Corps as the yardstick for socially conscious companies.
- Ben & Jerry's is now a B Corp! The Guardian provides a great summary of why this news is so big: Ben & Jerry's is not only a huge, well known company, they are also the first subsidiary of a publicly traded company (Unilever) to become a B Corporation. For more details on the Ben & Jerry's B Corp story, see what the Huffington Post, Fast Co, and Triple Pundit have to say about it. To read an interview with the Director of Social Mission at Ben & Jerry's, check out CSRWire. Craving more? Ben & Jerry's has made their B Impact Assessment public, which you can download here.
- For Etsy, simply passing their B Corp certification wasn't enough. Soon after their certification was announced, Etsy employees dedicated a day of work to improving the company's B score. In this Harvard Business Review article, B Lab co-founder Jay Coen Gilbert writes, "[this] may result in better policies and a higher B Impact Score, but there's more to it than that. It's already spurred employee initiative, innovation and intrapreneurship – all in the name of making Etsy better."
- What are the biggest benefits to becoming a B Corp? Sustainable Industries notes 5 huge benefits noting that, "while other third-party certifications like LEED, Fair-Trade, and Energy Star are beneficial for any business, B Corp certification is particularly noteworthy and well-respected because it evaluates your entire business model."
- But does it pay to be a socially conscious company? You bet it does! Forbes outlines 7 ways it pays to become a triple bottom line business and highlights B Corps as a means to this end.
- Ever enjoyed an article or infographic from GOOD? Now they're a B Corp too! You can read more on the GOOD website or check out Triple Pundit's article on how GOOD bolsters the B Corp network.
- Congratulations to Easy Office (nonprofit accounting), Alterrus Systems (vertical farming systems for urban gardens), Lotus Foods (fair trade and sustainable rice), and Sleep with a Purpose (socially conscious bedding) for joining the B Corp Movement!
Finally, watch Ben and Jerry's Director of Social Mission explain the company's excitement in joining the B Corp community.

Undoubtedbly the Cubs wil be selling as the July trade deadline approaches with Matt Garza, Scott Feldman, Kevin Gregg & Nate Schierholtz being the most likely chips on the table. There certainly may be others, but those players make the most sense. Let's take a look at some potential trade partners:
Free online checking with Capital One
Hi Arizona Phil,
What happened to Frandy de la Rosa who was also in the same scary car accident as Kevin Encarnacion? Thanks!
4 hr, 4 doubles, and 10 walks in 60PA helps that go down easier.
Kris Bryant is striking out 26.7% of the time at AA and I just couldn't care less.
Free agency is a dice roll for pitchers.
veras gives up a HR to the 1st batter he faces...ugg.
...and a 2nd homer 2 outs and a walk later...ugg.
also, j.baez returned to action in iowa...0-4, 3Ks
Good to hear Beeler is getting better--I've become anxious about all Cubs pitching prospects.
Does anyone know if firstinning.com is ever coming back? What's going on over there?
When did Eric Wedge turn 60?
AND Darwin Barney really gotta hold of one. The bad news with that is it may have bought him more playing time. Maybe the good news will be that another team noticed.
Nice move by Rob's new webmaster on moving the site over to cloudflare. This will be a great help for security for those of you worried about that kind of stuff.
AZ Phil: I am not familiar with any of the manager/coaches at EST. Are they all new to the organization and is anyone a holdover from before Theo/Ged/McLeod took over?
AZ Phi: any comments on the Extended Spring Training manager/coaches? I'm not familiar with any of them. Are any of them holdovers from pre-Epstein era?
excellent point!
AZ Phil, have you heard if there is a new injury to Fujikawa? I know he left the mound early this week. Thanks.
AZ Phil, do you feel Jimenez and Torres will stay in Mesa for the summer? Thanks

"You feel comfortable," she said. "It's an open mind for everybody."
Salazar, the managerial auditor in charge of compiling revenue data from the casino's gaming areas, hotel and restaurants, was hired in 2004, first in accounts payable. While much of what she deals with is data, Salazar also helps the company by serving as a Spanish-language translator as needed.
As a Latina, Salazar is one of many employees putting a face on Circus Circus' interest in diversity, an interest that is helping its reputation. MGM Mirage, the Las Vegas-based corporation that owns Circus Circus in Reno, was recently named by Latina Style magazine to its list of the 50 best places for Latinas to work.
Salazar received the Hispanic Employee of the Year award for Circus Circus in 2007 and was honored at a dinner hosted by Nevada Hispanic Services. She was born in Mexico City and grew up in Los Angeles. She came to Reno when her husband was transferred for his job.
But integrating into northern Nevada as a Hispanic has not been easy, Salazar said. She said she often feels she gets the cold shoulder for being bilingual or that many people assume that she doesn't speak English.
"They don't understand the culture or the language," she said. "And I can agree with them, too. ... Sometimes, they may get uncomfortable."
But at Circus Circus, she feels respected. She said her ability to translate is highly valued and she is asked several times a month to help out in meetings with unions or is asked for advice with wording for company newsletters, she said.
Jennifer Cunningham, the director of sales and marketing for the Reno Circus Circus, said working with people of various backgrounds is a part of its philosophy.
"The word 'diversity' means something to everybody," she said. Cunningham said the employees of Circus Circus "respect cultures of all different backgrounds."
"We really bring more to the table when we have a diverse group of individuals," she said.
Part of the ongoing enforcement of equitable practices among employees are classes Circus Circus offers, which consist of three-day training seminars in which participants learn how it feels to be discriminated against in the work environment. Those who complete the training become diversity champions. Currently, more than 200 employees have achieved that status, Cunningham said.
The face of Hispanic businesses and employees in the Reno-Sparks community has become more prominent since the merging of the Sparks Chamber of Commerce with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Sparks Chamber executive director Len Stevens said the move was important for the local workforce in these hard economic times. The merger, completed in August 2008, provided the Sparks Chamber with 370 additional members. It also provided more opportunities for further training of Hispanics and other workers of different nationalities.
"With this downturn, we're going to see a whole new set of jobs that out come of this," Stevens projected. "We see people doing some about-faces with career changes, attaining more education to get better knowledge in various areas of expertise."
MGM Mirage chairman and CEO Jim Murren said the Hispanic population, particularly Latinas, are an important part of the company's dealings.
"We are pleased to be acknowledged for our efforts to increase the involvement of Hispanic women in all aspects of our business," Murren said. "Our guests and company benefit the most when we engage diverse perspectives."

I have only played around with drupal briefly, and I am impressed with how easy it is to work with. I am still having a little trouble understanding how srupal is developed.
Re: Drupal Downunder 2012
Submitted by cafuego on Wed, 2011-08-03 23:36.
It's actually developed quite similarly to Linux, in that there is a benevolent dictator (Dries Buytaert) who has trusted lieutenants who are in charge of specific parts of the codebase.
There isn't a mailing list for discussions and patch submission, instead there is http://groups.drupal.org/ and the issue queue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal
Patches are submitted to the issue queue, where they're tested by both an automated test system and humans before being applied to Drupal core.

Records show that William Ferguson has been held at the Clark County jail since Aug. 19 on burglary and theft charges.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Ferguson now also faces an indictment stemming from the theft of $29,000 in chips from the MGM Grand, Rio, Treasure Island and LVH casinos.
A state court judge set bail Wednesday at $500,000.
Prosecutor Noreen DeMonte says Ferguson worked with an accomplice. While one distracted the dealer, the other grabbed chips and fled.
The Review-Journal reports that authorities have recovered $80,000 of nearly $179,000 in chips they think Ferguson has stolen from various casinos.

Best Politician
Martin O'Malley
Published: September 18, 2013
Love him or hate him, this has been a good year for Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley (D). Two O'Malley-backed laws got the nods of the majorities of Maryland voters in last fall's elections—one granting gay-marriage rights, the other offering in-state tuition discounts for qualifying illegal immigrants (the DREAM Act).This spring he signed into law the death-penalty repeal he'd long sought as well as sweeping gun restrictions. What's more, by slowing spending growth while adding new revenue, he's all but obliterated a $1.7 billion structural deficit that had long dogged Maryland's budgets. These accomplishments have prompted talk that he'll be a good 2016 candidate for president. Whatevs. The guy's not all that. Since O'Malley was elected mayor of Baltimore in 1999, we've found him to be a cutthroat, manipulative Machiavellian prone to prideful preening, but maybe that's precisely what makes him so effective. He has, after all, been a pretty good governor, especially this year.

You can take up to two pets in separate containers. No pet may travel under sedation.
Are you traveling abroad?
Each country has its own regulations on admitting pets. Contact the health authority in your destination and/or transit country to learn about the rules and documentation needed for transporting your pet. It is not permitted to transport animals to the Galápagos Islands.
How much does this service cost?
Bear in mind that the cost of the service is per flight and that the rate will depend on the weight of your pet and cage and the flight route. Also, pricing always comes under the excess baggage transport conditions, even if you are traveling without luggage.
Guide dogs and emotional assistance dogs travel free of charge, but they must be duly certified and have documentation.
For further details, please get in touch with our Contact Center.
Emotional assistance dogs
You may travel with your emotional assistance dog provided you can show a medical certificate that explicitly states that your pet is indispensable to you. This document must be no more than one year old, and must be on the letterhead of the psychologist or psychiatrist who is treating you, or alternatively, if you are from the United States, your specialist medical practitioner (Licensed Clinical Social Worker).
Please inform us of your requirements when you are buying your ticket at our Sales Office or call us at our Contact Center after making your purchase at LAN.com.
On the day of travel, your dog:
- Must be muzzled. In Colombia, it must be muzzled and on a leash.
- It must travel in the space available below the seat in front, at the feet of the passenger transporting it. If your dog does not fit or behaves aggressively, it will have to travel in the hold of the aircraft.

We Fightin' At The U
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
Done to the tune of "The U" by Uncle Luke.
Remember yesterday when I listed a few reasons why I was happy college football was back? Here's another: fights between fans in the stadium. By now, you've either seen and/or heard about the Miami/Florida A&M game and the brawl that ensued in the stands. Don't not what started, nor do I care. Watching folks get thrown around, all in the name of college football fandom — although, I doubt it was a "my team's better than yours" argument that started the fracas.
It was probably over a girl; although, if it was over any of the ladies in the lead image, completely understandable.
What to watch for: Pony-tailed guy getting tossed (13-second mark) and the slap-fight that directly follows it when the camera pans up. I'm not sure any of those "punches" connected:
As for Part 2, I'm just impressed with the guy in the wife-beater. Even with a bunch of folks piled on top of and blows raining down around him, he just wants to be left alone to enjoy the beatdown Miami was putting on FAMU.
Did I mention how happy I am now that college football is back?

The Company
Jim Jannard is the founder of Oakley. His first invention of revolutionary eyewear Eyeshades® became such a big success that even professional athletes were after his eyewear inventions. Leading athletes including Greg LeMonde and Lance Armstrong demanded the performance and protection which can only be offered by Eyeshades®.
"I always knew we would succeed. That comes from believing in what you're doing, and striving to do it better than anyone thought possible." – Jim Jannard
Prescription Eyewear
Jannard continued to develop and redefine sport eyewear with each design bettering the last. His designs have been awarded with more than 600 patents worldwide which ensures the protection of his closely-guarded technologies.
Oakley prescription sunglasses are available with many of the all-time bestselling models:
For Women – Beckon, Commit, Confront, Discreet, Fringe
For Men – Dispatch II, Fast Jacket, Fuel Cell, Holbrook, Pitbull
Patented Technology
For sportsmen and athletes who require the most advanced level of sports optimising technology but have a prescription range, the brand had designed a special patented technology for their sunglasses. Oakley True Digital™ lenses provides you with sharper peripheral vision and clarity without distorting the lens vision.
Impact Protection
All of the company's eyewear passed the US sunglasses standard (ANSI Z87.1: 2003) for UV protection and the FDA standard (CFR 801.410) for impact resistance testing using a steel ball bearing.
Tests for high mass impact are also conducted by dropping a metal spike weighing more than 1lb (0.45 kilograms) from over 4ft (1.2 metres) vertically onto the eyewear. These tests are carried out to ensure that their eyewear consistently provides its wearers with the highest level of safety.
Sport, Active Or Lifestyle?
The models are divided into three categories; sport, active, and lifestyle. The names are pretty self-explanatory.
If you are a professional athlete or sportsmen, you're going to want the sport range for the best performance. If you regularly exercise to keep active, the active range would be ideal for you as it offers you a great range of technology but not at the level sporting professionals require.
If you like the brand, want to experience what Oakley has to offer, or simply demand protection for your eyes from a leading eyewear brand, the lifestyle range is right for you.

Costa Rica is a wonderful place to go for a vacation, honeymoon, elopement, or wedding. It is uniquely beautiful thanks to its lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and breathtaking volcanoes. Costa Rica offers up a wide range of activities that cater to a variety of interests from sunset horseback riding to whizzing through the forest canopy on a zipline to surfing some legendary waves. But beyond its beauty, excitement, and romance, Costa Rica is a safe place to visit. It is the most politically and economically stable country in Central America. Violent crime is almost non-existent here, a country that does not even have a military. Compared to its neighbors, Costa Rica is a wealthy nation and home to some high-quality private hospitals. This is a country that you can feel safe bringing your loved ones. But, like any country – including the United States – there are some safety precautions that everyone should take to avoid ruining their visit.
Tips for Avoiding Crime
Violent crime is rare in Costa Rica, but pick pocketing can be a problem in some areas. San Jose is particularly known for its petty thieves. One of the best ways to avoid being pickpocketed is to blend in as much as possible with the locals. For the tall blue-eyed blondes out there, this is a bit trickier, but your wardrobe can do a lot. Men and women should stick to jeans, even if it's hot outside, because this is what the ticos wear. Women can wear sleeveless and short-sleeved shirts, but try to avoid anything too tight or revealing. This is not only good for escaping the attention of pickpockets, but also for escaping the attention of local men who are sure to express their admiration loudly and without restraint. Do not wear any jewelry that looks expensive and make sure that your bag or purse has a zip closure. Men can wear whatever they want on top, but should try to look as neat as possible. Although it may feel funny at first, men should keep their wallets in a front pocket instead of the back pocket. Better yet, keep your wallet in an inside zippered pocket of a zippered backpack.
Another favorite spot for pickpockets is on public transportation and in bus terminals. The Coca-Cola Bus Station in San Jose is in a pretty sketchy area, so try to spend as little time there as possible. Always keep a hand on your bags. Never leave them unattended or under the supervision of someone who may not pay close enough attention. When on the bus, always hold your bag in your lap or put it in the compartment underneath the bus. Never put your bag in the overhead areas.
Tips for Staying Healthy
Before going to any foreign country, it is a good idea to talk to your doctor about any vaccinations or medications you should bring. Most doctors will tell you, however, that Costa Rica is a pretty disease-free place. The two exceptions are malaria and dengue fever, mosquito-spread diseases that have become common in coastal areas all over the world. While it is a good idea to take precautions no matter what part of Costa Rica you visit, the majority of serious reported cases have been on the Caribbean Coast.
The best way to avoid getting dengue or malaria is to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes. Wear good insect repellent at all times, but especially at dawn and dusk. Wearing light-colored, loose clothing is also recommended. Stay in rooms with air conditioning or with mosquito nets.
At the end of the day, the vast majority of tourists visiting Costa Rica do not get pickpocketed or contract dengue fever or malaria. Take these simple precautions and then focus all of your attention on having an incredible trip. Fear should never get in the way of enjoying your vacation, especially if you're visiting Costa Rica!

I store my photos in these albums chronologically until I have a chance to scrapbook them. This gives my family a chance to still enjoy looking at the photos even if it takes me a few years to get the scrapbook pages completed ;)
Reasons why I LOVE this product:
1. 3 ring binder allows me to re-arrange pages.
2. Sturdy pages let me put duplicates or near duplicates together in one photo pocket.
3. Pockets also allow for 5x7 enlargements.
4. Sturdy album holds up!
I don't understand why I have such a hard time finding this product. I can find the spiral bound Pioneer albums exactly like this but I HATE the spiral binding and prefer the 3 ring binder. I used to buy this from another online store that has recently discontinued it. I hope sb.com carries this product FOREVER!
Stacy Julian refered me to these albums in her Library of Memories Class on Big Picture Scrapbooking.com. They are great. The pages are durable and can withstand mutliple photos stuffed into one sleeve. The three ring binding makes it easy to add or take away pages or to re-arrange.
I would definately buy them again and again. I'm glad I took Stacy's advice.
The 3-up albums work just as Stacy Julian says in her book, Photo Freedom. They are re-arrangeable, you can add more pages to them, and they allow enough room for several photos in the same pocket. I found that I can fit 4 or 5 (it's a squeeze) in the same pocket. There is plenty of room to write a description next to the photograph as well.


text: On The Glenn Show, Glenn and John debate whether racism has shaped Obama's presidency. Referencing the Trayvon Martin case, Glenn argues that Obama's race is still symbolically powerful. The discussion turns to the leaked video of Romney at a fundraiser. John is appalled by Romney's comments, but Glenn offers a partial defense of Romney. The two then discuss the free speech implications of the YouTube video that helped trigger violence and protests in the Muslim world. Plus: Is there still the possibility of a dialogue between Islam and the West?

The results of the 2012 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, released this month by the Office of Personnel Management, indicate that federal employees' remain dedicated to their jobs in spite of an overall decline in morale.
The 2012 FEVS, which reached more than 687,000 federal employees, was the largest and most detailed survey since the FEVS debuted in 2002, OPM said.
"These results show that federal employees continue to be as dedicated to their agencies, their mission, and to public service as ever before," said OPM Director John Berry.
Those positive findings persist, OPM noted, "notwithstanding a very slight decline in morale from the highs of recent years."
Part of that decline was evidenced in the survey's measure of government-wide "global satisfaction," which combines four other measures: employees' willingness to recommend their organization as a good place to work, and their satisfaction with their job, their pay and their organization. Overall, the measure of global satisfaction declined 3 percent in the 2012 survey, after posting gains between 2008 and 2011.
All of the measures that make up the global satisfaction measure declined as well. Employees' willingness to recommend their organization as a good place to work dropped by 2 percent, to 67 percent. Employees' satisfaction with their job and organization fell 3 percent each, to 68 percent and 59 percent, respectively. And only 59 percent of employees expressed satisfaction with pay, a 4 percent drop from the prior year, and the lowest level since the 2004 survey.
While OPM downplayed those results, one federal employee union characterized them as an indication of a "disturbing trend."
"Federal employees are as committed as ever to their jobs and the missions of their agencies, but recent attacks on pay, retirement and an uncertain political climate have led to declines in morale, a hazardous trend for our nation," stated a reaction to the survey issued by the National Treasury Employees Union.
The group's leader homed in on pay in particular.
"The 27-month pay freeze must end," NTEU President Colleen Kelley said in a statement. "Federal employees have contributed $103 billion over a 10-year period to solving our country's economic troubles through the pay freeze and increased retirement contributions for new hires. Clearly, federal workers have done more than any other group in the name of deficit reduction."

Sexy but too long
January 31, 2014
I am 5'9" and like my long dresses and skirts to sweep the floor. This skirt is long but too long! I'll probably get it hemmed so I don't walk all over it. The fit is perfect though.
Pros:Perfect hugging fit.
Cons:Too long and I'm a tall person.

U.S. coins, as well as many other countries' coins, used to be made out of silver and not what we see today: combinations of nickel, copper, and aluminum.
So, seeing this bag of coins I've collected, I decided to try to make something out of them. I don't cut up the Mercury dimes or Buffalo nickels, but I do use the quarters and nickels from the late 50′s and early 60′s. This is a project I wrote about on my blog, Sir Richard's Tool Kit.
These two crosses were textured with a propane torch.
Step 1: You will need...
You'll need:
a coin
wire cutters
small drill bit and drill
jeweler's saw and block or a hack saw
small files
a hammer
maybe a pin vise
If you choose to partially melt the silver for texture, you will need a propane torch.
safety goggles- plase wear them. I've gotten metal and wood in my eye before and scratched my cornea. It is not fun. It will ruin your day.
Step 2: Marking
If ur going to destroy it.
I like the project, very nice result from simple steps!
Question: Could you (or anyone!?) help me out with the name of the mini hand drill pictured in step #6? Looks like the type you push and it cranks itself around with a spring and spiral action, but I don't know what to call that type of tool!
"I cut Jeffersons face...but he was askin for it!"
God Bless
