The city of living ghosts
Tangier, perched on the northernmost tip of Morocco, was a European outpost on the African continent right into the 1950s – a halfway world, smuggler country, a magical place that captured the imagination of artists and writers alike. Our author went on the streets, and visited bars and time-honored hotels in search of the old Tangier
Now a caress, now a whiplash, there's always a wind blowing in Tangiers. It carried them all here, the Phoenicians and the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Arabs, the English, the French and the Spanish. It also brought the poets and the junkies, not to mention the billionaires, eccentrics and dreamers with their dreams. The eras come together like old acquaintances beside the graves atop the rocky plateau a hundred meters above the new coast road. The dead here were likely Phoenicians. They are thought to have founded Tangier in the dim and distant past, sometime between the 12th and 5th century B.C.E., but the historians lack conclusive evidence for this.
The living are families from the neighborhood, teenagers, the odd tourist. I was brought here by Mounier, a student who supports himself by driving a taxi. He was raised in the neighborhood of the Phoenician cemetery, but moved to a cheaper district long ago. Lapping below us, the hermaphrodite waves of Atlantic and Mediterranean – the Strait of Gibraltar. On the other side, Spain dozes beneath a blanket of mist. The wind toys with the ferries plowing back and forth between Algeciras in Andalusia and the port of Tangiers. In the hinterlands, pine-covered mountains with royal palaces; below us, construction sites dotted around the marina, and bling-bling apartment blocks worthy of Dubai lining the bay that curves as far as Cap Malabata lighthouse.
Before me, the perfect, picture-postcard panorama: blue sky, a blaze of bougainvillea, white city. I see Mediterranean beauty, but I see no mystery. What remains of the darker side of the city that from the 1920s to the 1950s was an internationally administered zone and the first address of decadence? Is the mystery that drew the poets of the Beat Generation still alive? Tangier, show me your soul!
On the edge of the necropolis, Café Hafa. Mounier, my guide, knows the waiter – of course. The plastic chairs at the tiled tables face northwest – just like the graves. Sitting here, your gaze is directed at Europe, if it's not trained on your cell phone. Giggling middle-class teenagers – the boys' heads artistically shaven, the girls' draped in designer headscarves; interested glances; friendly lethargy. The sweet smell of smokes people have brought along. It's always been this way. Authors William S. Burroughs and Paul Bowles would come here to drink and watch the fisher boys. The Beatles and the Stones were here, too, and recently, Mounier tells me as he rolls himself a thin, herbal cigarette, Princess Lalla Salma, the wife of Morocco's King Mohammed VI, dropped by for a glass of mint tea.
The next morning, the wind is my alarm clock. It whooshes in off the sea and rattles the windowpanes. I awaken in Hotel Rembrandt, just like Bowles on his first visit to Tangier in 1931. Tennessee Williams was also here, and later on, David Bowie. The Rembrandt has an honest three stars. Its beds are a bit saggy, but the true luxury of this hotel is the friendliness of its staff. Its best feature is its location, right on Avenue Pasteur, which appears to meander into 1960s Europe – or perhaps into a Europe that never actually existed.
Across from the Rembrandt, there's the Number One Bar, where I drank Flag Spéciale beer last night and met a painter, Ilias Selfati. There's a whisper on the street here in Tangiers that the King recently bought some of his works. That kind of information is sure to give any artist's career an extra boost in Morocco. Where would I find the soul of Tangiers, I asked Selfati. His reply was a detailed lesson in the proper way to pronounce the Arabic word for "cheers," "bsharraha" – or was it "basaracha?" Or "bsorachah?" The difficulty lies in pushing out the sound that mutates between an "h" and a "ch" at the beginning of the second syllable. I tried all evening and failed.
Breakfast on the Petit Socco, Medina, old town. I'm sitting on the veranda of the Café Tingis. Passersby hurry, stroll, chatting hand in hand, jostle their way through the crowd, swearing, or are carried by their own murmured prayers along the Grand Socco road from the harbor to the market, or turn off toward the kasbah via Rue des Chrétiens to head in the opposite direction toward the Grand Mosque. And now, surrounded by hustlers and fake guides, here comes a group of cruise tourists, who have ventured beyond the safety of their ship. They take the same path Germany's Emperor William II rode in 1904, on his way to ask Sultan Abd al-Aziz to be his ally against France.
Ghosts populate Tangiers. I encounter them at every turn: the German emperor on the Petit Socco; the beatniks in the boozy dives; and the painter Eugène Delacroix on the roof terrace of Galerie Conil, where, surrounded by paintings, I drink a light Moroccan gris with Olivier Conil, the gallery owner. He came here years ago with his parents and today runs Tangier's leading gallery for Art Brut and Moroccan naive contemporary art. Two paces from the Petit Socco, he found a building that was a drinkers' bar in the Interzone period and before that, served Delacroix as a studio. The view of the kasbah he painted here is one of the most important Orientalist works. I repeat my question for Olivier: "Where will I find the soul of Tangiers?" "Ha," he replies, "the soul of Tangier has no address. Good luck with your search!"
Walking through Tangier reminds me of dream passages, in which you move quickly and slowly at the same time, up and down, are light- and heavy-footed, chasing after an idea you will never catch. Dreams are the wind of the soul, I think to myself.
The gods of Beat literature got together with their disciples in the hotel bar Tangerinn
Villa Muniria is at the bottom of a steep hill. It's a cheap hotel that used to be a still cheaper one, known to its guests back then as "Villa Delirium." Junkies injected themselves in its corridors, and it was in litter-strewn room number 9 that William S. Burroughs wrote his sex-porn epic Naked Lunch. A photo from 1961 shows a scowling Burroughs in the villa garden with Paul Bowles in linen suit, with tie, pocket handkerchief and arms contentedly folded. Downstairs in the whisky-lit fug of the Tangerinn, the hotel bar, these gods of Beat literature got together with their disciples, with drifters and loafers. These days, the moral tone is somewhat higher at the Tangerinn, now a techno club serving innovative cocktails to rich kids from the suburbs.
On to the Gran Café de Paris. Here, I find police officers smoking in the bar, soccer on the television, and all of the tables on the sidewalk out front occupied. Lean gentlemen, who have been pensioners their entire life, sit here, breathing in gasoline fumes and gazing into their café noir, nersa (with a little milk) or nouss, nouss (with lots of milk). As dusk falls, the windows above the café shed a muted red light onto the street below from the second floor, where raucous Berber pop music has dancers swinging their hips, while the drinkers drown their dreams.
The Terrasse des Paresseux (loafers' terrace) also opens onto the bay, where shades dance among ancient cannons. Rue Velasquez plunges steeply into the abyss between tapas bars, antique shops and the famous bookshop, Les Insolites. A friendly mongrel stands guard over the old Jewish cemetery with its crumbling Art Deco facade. It is the death mask of the Gran Teatro Cervantes, closed since 1976. Rumor has it that plans for its renovation will finally come to fruition. Rumors, those desired certainties, sometimes even come true, as they did in the case of the Cinéma Rif movie theater, also exquisite Art Deco. The program is at least as good as the architecture: international and North African independent movies. But the best film of all airs every day outside the cinema, at the cinema's street café, where the youngsters of Tangier with more than a ghost of intellect hang out from morning till night.
The storms of time. Decline and revival. Tangier experiences both simultaneously; destroys money, attracts money. More and more shopping malls, major construction sites alongside ruins. They say King Mohammed loves Tangier, whereas his father, Hassan II, mistrusted the city, found it monstrous. This year, a high-speed train is on track to bring Casablanca two hours closer to Tangier. Hopes are flooding the city. Renault-Nissan, Bombardier and Volvo are investing in Tanger Automotive City. The Chinese aviation technology group Haite is pumping billions into its African base, which includes an electric bus factory. Petrodollars are turning into skyscrapers, and the trading profits from the green gold of dreams produced in the city's hinterlands, the world's largest cannabis-growing region, are also entering circulation.
The kasbah stands high above the old town, the new town and the conceited bay. From an outbuilding of the Sultan's Palace, I hear the quietly voiced instructions of young theater director Hamza Boulaiz, who is rehearsing with his newly formed company. The play is about corrupt bureaucrats and how limited their power turns out to be when met with insubordination – about self-empowerment. Boulaiz, 27, is the likeable, tousle-headed type and also the shooting star of the North African theater scene. Successful productions in Casablanca, a scholarship at the Sundance Institute. Now he's had a truck converted into a mobile stage and is traveling the Moroccan provinces with his troupe. "We play in villages culture generally gives a wide berth," says Boulaiz, "but art belongs to life."
The city's geographic and spiritual location enforces openness
An ecstasy of light and wind on the terrace of the Nord Pinus hotel, Anne Igou's smart guesthouse. The owner was in a relationship with Peter Lindbergh for a long time, and some of his works grace the rooms. I meet author Philippe Guiguet Bologne here, a lean man with neat movements and a nimble mind. He loves Tangier and its people, has written three books celebrating the city, and recently brought out a volume of poetry, Treize (Thirteen), illustrated by the painter Selfati, my private "cheers" pronunciation tutor. Can the author describe the soul of the city to me? No. But he does tell me this: "Its location forces the city to embrace openness."
Tangier lies between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, Europe and Africa, Islam and Christianity, tradition and modernity. It would not exist if it did not connect these worlds with each other." In other words, carry on exploring Tangier, ascending and descending its steep slopes, drawn by the light, driven by the wind and chasing dreams. Come without a plan. Forget time. Forget the search for mystery because Tangier is now.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — Austin Richie and Shayne Whittington combined for 38 points as Western Michigan easily defeated Miami (Ohio) 68-57 Saturday.
Western Michigan moved into a tie with Toledo atop the Mid-American Conference West Division after Eastern Michigan drubbed Toledo 65-44 Saturday. Western Michigan and Toledo both are 9-3 in the MAC.

Western Michigan led 39-32 midway through the second half when the Redhawks went on a 11-3 run, capped by a Will Sullivan 3-pointer, to lead 43-42 with 8:47 remaining. Whittington answered with a tip-in to take the lead for good.

Welcome to Sunday Matinee, where we highlight classic car reviews or other longer videos I find on YouTube. Kick back and enjoy this blast from the past.
A few years back I remember watching an episode of Top Gear and frothing at the mouth a bit, because I just saw them seriously compare a Mercedes-Benz E-Class with a Chevy Camaro. It was apples to oranges if I ever saw one, if the apples had legs and the oranges had yogurt. The comparison was so weird that it made no sense at all.
But that's not the first time Top Gear's made weird comparisons. Take this one, for instance, where Jeremy Clarkson starts off with a Bentley Arnage, and ends up comparing it to the Ferrari 456M. I get what he's saying, in that if you want ultimate luxury you should just get a Rolls-Royce, and if you want sporty luxury you should get a Ferrari. But it begs the question – what if you want sporty luxury, and four doors? Because a Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph of the time wasn't the place to get it.
What do you think, though? Is a Bentley vs. Ferrari a fair comparison? Or did the Bentley have no parallel?

text: Is it just me or does it seem that of late that the cache quality in our state is getting to be quite low? Seems like everyday I see less and less effort going into cache placement and the micro seems to be the cache of choice. Don't get me wrong, there are some great micros placed as well as some pretty bad traditional caches being placed as well. I think what really got my attention this morning was when I read about a new cache that was placed at a transfer station. Isn't a transfer station just a better word for the DUMP? I know nothing about the placers of this cache and I'm sure there was some good reason for placing this in their eyes, but for me I think there are more appealing and appropriate places for even the micro that seems it be taking over the state recently. Sorry if this seems cruel to some but I just had to vent about something and I think this is just my attempt at trying to get others to place caches that really have some thought put into their placement and not just thrown out the window of a moving automobile as you drive by. :rolleyes:

Consumer Goods and Retail FDA Site Inspections USA
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the United States' medical devices market. To sell in the US, most manufacturers are required to have a quality management system (QMS) based on 21CFR Part 820, although no certification is required or issued.
SGS is approved under the Accredited Persons Programme to undertake FDA Site Inspections (also known as FDA Audits) and can offer this service globally from our network of local offices. Our audits check the FDA regulatory compliance of your quality management system against the Code of Federal Regulations CFR 21 Part 820 Quality System Regulation and associated regulations (usually Parts 11, 803, 806 and 821). Audits can be carried out directly on behalf of the FDA, when conditions allow, or as a gap analysis in preparation for an FDA Site Inspection.
SGS UK was the first certification body to be approved under this programme and has been undertaking FDA Site Inspections since 2000.
FDA Site Inspections can often be combined with other scheduled audits such as MDSAP (PMAP programme) and CE marking to reduce significantly the total audit cost and time to the company management. The right medical device certification at the right time is the key to winning contracts, launching new products and entering new markets. Regulatory compliance demonstrates your commitment to meeting your customers' requirements.
Meet FDA QMS standards with an FDA Site Inspection from SGS.

The custom of eating sweetened snow supposedly began with the Roman Empire, but in New Orleans, the practice took off in 1934, when Ernest Hansen invented a device called "Hansen's Sno-Bliz." Sno-Bliz, a motorized ice shaver, took the labor out of sno-ball preparation, which, in the pre-Hansen era, required a lot of hard work with a hand plane.
The uninitiated often confuse the sno-ball with the snow cone, which is common throughout the country but in sneered at in NOLA. The chief difference between the two ids the quality of a sno-ball's ice. It is shaved to a deliciously fine consistency and is far creamier than the crushed ice used in the sno-balls granular cousin.
The ice is shaved from a hefty block, scooped into a paper cone and sweetened with the syrup of the customer's choosing. Most sno-ball shops keep fifty or more kinds of syrup on hand, ranging from fruit flavors to piquant innovations such as orchid cream vanilla.
Sno-balls are sold at humble neighborhood stands and serving windows all across the city, though sno-ball aficionados generally swear allegiance to one of the titans of the local scene: Plum Street Sno-Balls at 1300 Burdette Street in the Riverbend area (11 min from our Uptown bed and breakfast), or Hansen's Sno-Bliz Sweet Shop (5 min from Southern Comfort), which is still owned and operated by Ernest Hansen's family, at 4801 Tchoupitoulas Street. Despite their popularity, both shops heed seasonal tradition and close their doors from September to Easter.

The New $2 Coin
Like the new one-dollar circulation coins, Canada's new two-dollar circulation coins are manufactured using the Mint's Multi-Ply Plated Steel technology.
While the new two-dollar coin maintains the traditional "Polar Bear" design, there are three visible changes:
- The addition of two laser marks of maple leaves, each within a circle, at the bottom of the coin's reverse – i.e. on the side with the Polar Bear design.
- A virtual image of two maple leaves will appear at the top of the coin – a different image is produced as the coin is turned from side to side. The virtual image is produced by engraving different patterns on each side of two-sided grooves on the face of the coin.
- Edge-lettering of the words "CANADA" and "2 DOLLARS" are engraved along the coin's outer edge.
- Specifications:
Diameter: 28mm
Edge Height: 1.75mm
Weight: 6.92g
Outer Ring –Multi-ply nickel plated steel
Insert –Multi-ply brass plated aluminum bronze

I recently spoke to someone who's been volunteering at a nonprofit's live auction for ten years — and in a major role, too. He's the one who stands up in front of the room and solicit bids from the audience.
He's not an auction professional, but it's fair to say he's learned a thing or two during that time — strategies that he's noticed the pros sometimes overlook.
His main tips can be broken down, so to speak, into the following:
- Break costs down. When you're trying to solicit bids for a big-ticket item — let's say, a starting bid of $1,000 for a weekend at a local resort — do the math, so that people are not focusing solely on that big total number. You might, for example, say, "Hey, this place sleeps eight people, or four couples. If you get your friends together, that's only $125 per couple per night, and it comes with tennis privileges and a nearby pool!"
- Break the flow up. A good auctioneer keeps an eye on the audience, and is ready to respond when there's a lag in the energy, or when people just need a moment to breathe. Telling a story can help, or bringing in something 0r someone new. One year, a good strategy for this developed spontaneously, when a member of the audience jumped up and said, "I was the winning bidder on this dinner last year, and let me tell you what a fabulous experience it was . . . ." You could, of course, arrange for such testimonials in advance.
- Break the audience up. That's right, humor. Easy to aspire to, hard to carry out. But it doesn't have to be yuck-it-up jokes. Stories from the experiences of the nonprofit staff and board — those inside anecdotes that you laugh (or cry) about at lunch — can be great to share with the crowd.
Even if your nonprofit hires a professional for the important role of auctioneer, doing some of the background work suggested by the above tips can help keep the bidding fast, furious, and fun. For a comprehensive guide to holding a nonprofit auction, see The Volunteers' Guide to Fundraising (Nolo).

If you're like me, then you use a computer and write for The Nature Conservancy. And like me, you wistfully recall a time when the only people who had computers were astronauts, chess masters and captains of industry. "The past," as they say, "is past." Or maybe "passed."
Long gone are the days of Jukt Micronic's infamous Sequoia laptop, a redwood-encased notebook device boasting scrimshaw keys and an ivory-lined CD-ROM drive. Floppy diskettes, once woven from thousands of wafer-thin layers of French moleskin, are now baroquely known as "USB drives" and are constructed from modern alloys of plastic, steel and synthetic wood. Wither Magnetbox's notorious die-cast dot matrix printer? Consigned to the dustbin of nostalgia, along with disposable keyboards and asbestos modems.
Luckily, today's computists are far more savvy about the environment. They demand wares — both hard and soft — that dovetail with a"conservation ethos" seeded in computer labs and nurtured to blossom in chat rooms and Web forums. But whether you compute in home, an office or a home office, there are simple ways you, too, can protect Motherboard Earth.
Reduce and Reuse
One of the simplest "green computing" measures you can take is to reduce your amount of digital space. For instance, limit the number of new folders or files you create. Rename an unwanted folder instead of creating a new one, or write over an old document to save space. If you must create a new folder, opt for one made of FSC-certified e-materials.
When beginning a new project in Microsoft Word or Excel, be mindful of the impact your document will have on the planet. Choose the smallest font size possible, even if it means overriding the defaults. Widen the margins to create a larger writing space. Together, those simple steps can result in up to 40 percent fewer screen pages — 50 percent fewer in print preview mode!
As a welcome side-effect, limiting the number of files and folders — not to mention draining the battery before travel — keeps a laptop lighter, making it less of a burden to carry.
Search-engine emissions standards haven't changed much since the days of Netscape, but though technology may be lagging behind public sentiment, it won't be long before users have the option of using hybrid search engines. Until then, try to keep your e-footprint small by only visiting web addresses within a 50-mile radius of your computer.
When it comes to disposing of electronic waste — the deleted messages, documents and files that form the detritus of a typical system — the computing powers-that-be are oddly inconsistent.
Most PC-based operating systems offer users the option of recycling such items in a desktop bin, while the otherwise progressive Apple systems still cling to dated and unsustainable trash cans. And while it's easy enough to recycle PC desktop matter, word processing, e-mail and accounting programs still require users to "trash" unwanted data without an easy recycling alternative.
At The Nature Conservancy, we advise computists to load trash files onto portable drives, transfer them to PC-based systems and then manually recycle the data. Time-consuming, perhaps, but worth it. It's important to remember that not all computer data is recyclable, though. Tweets and IMs should, whenever possible, be composted.
Think Organic
Few things are worse for cyberspace than viruses. From Trojan horses and blaster worms that compete with native species for precious nutrients to rampant overphishing of personal resources, invasive viruses threaten the very fabric of our digital world.
And while prescribed firewalls can be an effective means of control, vigilant monitoring is the safest way to keep these meddlesome pests out. Unfortunately, the harsh coding within most virus sweepers and scrubbers can be harmful, too. The environmentally minded should consider organic virus scrubbers, such as those containing natural exfoliants made from oatmeal, lemon or sea salt.
In addition, there are countless other options for organic computing — from only enabling cookies made with fair-trade certified sugar to demanding shade-grown javascript — that can help you work with a clear conscience.
Wrap it Up
For dozens of months now, The Nature Conservancy has been working with computing experts around the world to design sustainable, Earth-friendly computing systems.
From creating pasture rotation plans on our server farms to eschewing pen-raised servlets in favor of those written in free-range coding, we are helping to ensure that the cyberworld of tomorrow will contain blue cloud-computing skies…and that the Internet's rich and bountiful harvest will remain intact for nextgen users.

Asceticism In Today's Russia
The Moscow Patriarch has issued an instruction to his clergy:
The head of the Orthodox Church in Russia, the country famous for its penchant for expensive cars and an unsafe driving culture, called on his clergy to choose their vehicles "with modesty" and not to drink "holy sacraments" before driving.
The Russian Orthodox Church has been marred by scandals in 2012, some of which were vehicle-related. Social networks, popular with the Russian opposition and the country's politically active middle class, have been inundated with photos of the clergy's expensive cars.
In August, a monk identified as Ilya crashed into road workers in Moscow while driving his Mercedes SUV. He killed two people in the incident, leaving the scene without calling for help, said the police, according to state-run news agency RIA.
In July, Abbot Timofei, of the Church of Elijah the Prophet, got on the news after roadster BMW Z4 he was driving, carrying Maltese diplomatic number plates, crushed into two cars. He refused to take an alcohol test when police arrived, the police said. The Church later said he was driving the roadster as "a private person."
"Private person"? Oy.

Cute MonstersFriday, April 3rd, 2009
Some folks I know get up to some pretty neat stuff. Such is the case with fellow webcomicker Jamie Noguchi, artist of Erfworld. He's begun an illustration tutorials site called Monster Cutie that's much awesome. Last week he posted an hour long digital painting tutorial and I figured I'd follow along and do my best to follow the instructions.
This reflects the first 14 minutes or so of the tutorial, with Jamie's monster on the left, and my attempt at digital painting on the right. It took me about an hour to get to this point, as I would play the video, watch, pause it, switch to Photoshop, and mimic what I just learned. My goal was to spend an evening and do it this way, then record my own attempts at doing it on my own all by myself afterward. The evening had other plans, and I only got this far.
Soon I'm going to finish the tutorial and I'll share what I've drawn. After that I will absolutely make my own video of my botching an unassisted attempt at recreating it all. I foresee it turning out better than I'd originally thought, actually. You see, I'm a terrible artist, and for me to produce what you see above speaks volumes about the quality of instruction you're going to get out of Monster Cutie. It isn't the same monster, no, but it's a crap ton better than I expected out of myself. So check it out and get your digital painting on!

HOUSTON (AP/RNN) - George H.W. Bush, who shaped history as 41st president and patriarch of a family that occupied the White House for a dozen years, was remembered in a final funeral service in Texas on Thursday and brought to his final resting place at a family plot on the grounds of his presidential library.
Funeral services for Bush were held at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston, where the Bush family has worshiped for decades.
His casket was then brought by train to College Station, TX, passing crowds of onlookers and well-wishers paying respects along a nearly three-hour journey.
It arrived in the late afternoon, and was brought by servicemen to a hearse as the Texas A&M band played the "Aggie War Hymn" and the Bush family looked on.
He was then brought to the family plot for a private burial, laid to rest alongside his wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush, who died earlier this year, and their daughter Robin who died from leukemia as a 3-year-old.
As his casket was removed from the hearse at the library, a 21-jet flyover in "Missing Man" formation was performed in his honor.
At the funeral, the Rev. Russell Levenson, Jr. told mourners that Bush had a "resolute faith" and once asked what heaven would be like.
He told those gathered at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church that he imagined Bush was greeted in heaven by his wife "with her hands on her hips, saying 'What took you so long?'"
Levenson said it was OK to cry because George H.W. Bush was never afraid to shed tears himself.
Bush's longtime pastor ended the homily with the same prayer used at the president's 1989 inauguration.
The grandchildren of the former president - including Barbara Pierce Bush, a daughter of George W. Bush, Noelle Lucila Bush, daughter of Jeb Bush and Elizabeth Dwen Andrews, whose mother is married to Neil Bush - gave readings from the Bible.
Two of George H.W. Bush's granddaughters read from Corinthians: Nancy Ellis LeBlond Sosa and Georgia Grace Koch, who are the daughters of Dorothy Bush Koch.
His grandsons served as pallbearers.
James Baker, the president's close friend, made some remarks and got emotional. And George P. Bush, a Texas state official and grandson of the 41st president, also paid tribute.
Musical guests included The Oak Ridge Boys and Reba McEntire.
The country said goodbye to him Wednesday in a national funeral service that offered high praise for the last of the presidents to have fought in World War II — and a hefty dose of humor about a man once described as a cross between Mister Rogers and John Wayne.
After three days of remembrance in Washington, a plane brought Bush's casket to Houston for Thursday's funeral.
After the funeral, a hearse carried Bush's casket from St. Martin's to a Union Pacific facility north of Houston near the international airport named for him. There, his casket was placed on the special train that brought him to his presidential library in College Station for burial.
In addition to George W. Bush and other family members, former basketball star Yao Ming and Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt were among a handful of sports figures at the funeral.
Baseball Hall of Famers Nolan Ryan and Jeff Bagwell also arrived Thursday morning for the service.
Bush was a fan of his hometown teams. He joined his son, George W. Bush, on the field before Game 5 of the 2017 World Series in Houston.
Astros owner Drayton McLane and former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda are also in attendance.
In the service at Washington National Cathedral a day prior, three former presidents and President Donald Trump looked on as George W. Bush eulogized his father as "the brightest of a thousand points of light."
The cathedral service was a tribute to a president, a patriarch and a faded political era that prized military service and public responsibility. It was laced with indirect comparisons to Trump but was not consumed by them, as speakers focused on Bush's public life and character — with plenty of cracks about his goofy side, too.
"He was a man of such great humility," said Alan Simpson, former Republican senator from Wyoming. Those who travel "the high road of humility in Washington, D.C.," he added pointedly, "are not bothered by heavy traffic."
Trump sat with his wife, a trio of ex-presidents and their wives, several of them sharp critics of his presidency and one of them, Hillary Clinton, his 2016 Democratic foe. Apart from courteous nods and some handshakes, there was little interaction between Trump and the others.
George W. Bush broke down briefly at the end of his eulogy while invoking the daughter his parents lost in 1953 and his mother, who died in April. He took comfort in knowing "Dad is hugging Robin and holding Mom's hand again."
It was a family that occupied the White House for a dozen years — the 41st president defeated after one term, the 43rd serving two. Jeb Bush stepped up to try to extend that run but fell short when Trump won the 2016 Republican primaries.
The elder Bush was "the last great-soldier statesman," historian Jon Meacham said in his eulogy, "our shield" in dangerous times.
But he also said that Bush, campaigning in a crowd in a department store, once shook hands with a mannequin. Rather than flushing in embarrassment, he simply cracked, "Never know. Gotta ask."
Meacham recounted how comedian Dana Carvey once said the key to doing an impersonation of Bush was "Mister Rogers trying to be John Wayne."
None of those words would be a surprise to Bush. Meacham read his eulogy to him, said Bush spokesman Jim McGrath, and Bush responded to it with the crack: "That's a lot about me, Jon."
The congregation at the cathedral, filled with foreign leaders and diplomats, Americans of high office and others touched by Bush's life, rose for the arrival of the casket, accompanied by clergy of faiths from around the world. In their row together, Trump and former Presidents Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton stood with their spouses and all placed their hands over their hearts.
Simpson regaled the congregation with stories from his years as Bush's friend in Washington. More seriously, he recalled that when he went through a rough patch in the political game, Bush conspicuously stood by him against the advice of aides. "You would have wanted him on your side," he said.
Simpson said Bush "loved a good joke — the richer the better. And he threw his head back and gave that great laugh, but he never, ever could remember a punchline. And I mean never."
George W. Bush turned the humor back on the acerbic ex-senator, saying of the late president: "He placed great value on a good joke, so he chose Simpson to speak."
Meacham praised Bush's call to volunteerism — his "1,000 points of light" — placing it alongside Abraham Lincoln's call to honor "the better angels of our nature" in the American rhetorical canon. Meacham called those lines "companion verses in America's national hymn."
Former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney praised Bush as a strong world leader who helped oversee the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union and helped bring about the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico, signed into law by his successor, Clinton.
With Trump, a bitter NAFTA critic, seated in the front row, Mulroney hailed the "largest and richest free trade area in the history of the world." The three countries have agreed on a revised trade agreement pushed by Trump.
On Wednesday morning, a military band played "Hail to the Chief" as Bush's casket was carried down the steps of the U.S. Capitol, where he had lain in state. Family members looked on as servicemen fired off a cannon salute.
His hearse was then driven in a motorcade to the cathedral ceremony, slowing in front of the White House. Bush's route was lined with people much of the way, bundled in winter hats and taking photos.
Bush's death makes Carter, also 94 but more than 100 days younger, the oldest living ex-president.
Following the cathedral service, the hearse and a long motorcade drove to the National Mall to pass by the World War II Memorial, a nod to the late president's service as a World War II Navy pilot, then transferred his remains at Joint Base Andrews for the flight home with members of his family.
Woodward reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Laurie Kellman, Ashraf Khalil and Darlene Superville in Washington and Juan A. Lozano, David J. Phillip and Nomaan Merchant in Houston contributed to this report.

The Grade 9 student arrived for the first day of school last Wednesday and was set upon by a group of six to 10 older students who mocked him, called him a homosexual for wearing pink and threatened to beat him up. The next day, Grade 12 students David Shepherd and Travis Price decided something had to be done about bullying. RELATED: Pink shirts legend grows "It's my last year. I've stood around too long and I wanted to do something," said David. They used the Internet to encourage people to wear pink and bought 75 pink tank tops for male students to wear. They handed out the shirts in the lobby before class last Friday — even the bullied student had one.
I applaud these guys, although they stop a bit short of what I would have wanted them to articulate. They point out that nobody should be made fun of for what they're wearing, but they don't, in any article I could find, even really mention that it's not about what somebody was wearing, really, but about homophobia. Their sentiment seems to be 'people should be able to wear what they want', when the sentiment really should be (and probably is, underneath), that people shouldn't be bullied for being gay. I think it's interesting that even these two brave students (because it was brave--the social pressures to go along with bullies are strong, especially in high school) haven't yet quite connected all of dots: It's not the pinkness, it's teh gay.
Still, ya gotta start somewhere, and these guys are way, way, way ahead of where I was when I was their age. And, as far as activism goes, they're way, way ahead of me now.

Job Search / Re: Studying for the BAR, huge DEBT, no JOB, WHAT DO DO?« on: May 09, 2010, 11:20:02 PM »
I got a job with the feds doing legal work but not practicing. All of my coworkers in the same position and my supervisors are attorneys and legal analysis is my main job duty. However, it is a temporary one year position and I can't count it as experience practicing law. So I think I will keep looking for jobs after I take a month or so break from the search. However, it seems that permanent positions in my department open up frequently and they like to move current employees into them so I hope I can get a permanent position before my term ends.

Welcome to Little Car in the Big City, where I highlight fascinating cars I found walking around a town that is known for being bigger than everything else, but where every car is fighting to stand out: New York, New York.
When we featured a Volkswagen Rabbit on Nice Price or Crack Pipe just this past Friday, I like to imagine a little scenario went down. The Ford or the GM or the Chrysler or the Toyota or the Nissan or really any big automotive product development chief, doesn't matter which, was enjoying their coffee like they do every Friday morning. They see their daily NPOCP post, which is the only one they read since everything else is about brown diesel wagons, and they find a nice little pickup truck. It's small, it's economical, it's got the potential to be a true workhorse.
"Ha," says this strawman that I just set up. "Look at the silly things Americans used to have, like small, economical pickups with the potential to be a true workhorse! Good thing no one would ever in a million years use something like that again. Welp, back to the office, to cancel any further dreams of anything like a new Ranger in the United States."
And then everyone else is all sad, because this strangely callous product development chief has managed to strategically ignore the overwhelming 64% victory that a $5,000 Volkswagen Rabbit could achieve.
But here, in the flesh, is proof that people are still using them for their intended purpose.
Yep, that's what we in the business call "stuff," in the back. How about that? And on historic plates, too.
This small Volkswagen Caddy is ideal for a lot of people who have to do physical labors in tight spaces. As urbanization increases, we Americans are going to need increasingly more innovative solutions in small packages. And what better proof do we have, than how well this little pickup fits on an urban street?
And what better mark of innovation is there, than copying something from the past?
Plus, it says SPORTRUCK on the side in enormous letters, which is just the best thing ever.
Every big auto manufacturer, get on this one. You'll thank me later.

The SEC has made steady strides in coaching diversity over the course of the last 11 years.
The Southeastern Conference has made steady strides in coaching diversity over the course of the last 11 years.
Sylvester Croom was hired as the league's first African-American football coach in 2004, spending five seasons at Mississippi State. Last season, there were three minority head football coaches patrolling SEC sidelines. One, Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin, earned SEC coach of the year honors.
In basketball, the SEC is even more diverse. Of the league's 14 men's basketball coaches, more than half (8) are minorities. There are seven African-American coaches and one Hispanic coach. First-year South Carolina coach Frank Martin, a Miami native, is Cuban-American.
"It's awesome that this league believes in everybody, not just in certain stereotypes or whatever it may be," Martin said. "I think it's phenomenal."
Of the six BCS conferences, the SEC (57.1 percent minority) is the most diverse, followed by the Big East (4-15, 26.6 percent), Pac-12 (3-12, 25 percent), Big 12 (2-10, 20 percent), ACC (2-12 16.6 percent) and Big Ten (1-12, 8.3 percent).
"First and foremost, it speaks to our league, the SEC," Alabama coach Anthony Grant said. "I think you look at guys are making hires for guys they think are the best qualified to do the job."
Grant, one of the SEC's seven African-American coaches, spent 12 years as an assistant coach under Billy Donovan at Marshall and Florida before getting his first head coaching job at VCU in 2007. Alabama hired Grant two years later in 2009.
Grant credited Nolan Richardson at Arkansas and Tubby Smith at Kentucky as examples of minority coaches in the SEC who showed they could win national titles with the right support. Richardson led Arkansas to a national title in 1994, while Smith led Kentucky to the 1998 national championship.
"Those guys are really the guys that paved the way for guys like myself and some of the other coaches across the league," Grant said. "Certainly, I'm privileged to be in the position I'm in, and I appreciate the opportunity I've been given. Now, it's just up to us to go out and produce successful programs."
Missouri coach Frank Haith got his first opportunity at Miami in 2004, leading the Hurricanes to an NCAA Tournament and five postseason appearances. In 2011, Haith was hired as Missouri's third African-American men's basketball coach in school history. Last season, Haith led Missouri to a 30-5 record and earned Associated Press College Basketball Coach of the Year honors.
"It's been tremendous progress that has been made," Haith said. "I know at one point in time, in the ACC, we had seven African-American coaches. We've done a good job with that. And particularly in the SEC, predominantly most teams in the South, I think it just says a lot about how it's been a positive in terms of us having opportunities."

Bladder output obstruction: Causes in men?
Bladder outlet obstruction in men is a blockage that slows or stops urine flow out of the bladder. Bladder outlet obstruction can cause urine to back up in your system, leading to difficulty urinating and other uncomfortable urinary symptoms.
Possible causes of bladder outlet obstruction might include:
- Enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — this is the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction in men
- Scarring of the urinary channel (urethra) or bladder neck, as a result of injury or surgery
- Use of certain medications, including antihistamines, decongestants or drugs to treat overactive bladder
- Bladder stones
- Prostate cancer
Prompt diagnosis and treatment of bladder outlet obstruction is important to prevent serious problems caused by urine backing up into your system.
If you can't pass urine, emergency treatment includes insertion of a tube (catheter) through the tip of your penis and into your bladder. This tube helps urine drain from your bladder. If your condition doesn't require urgent care, your doctor might order tests, such as an ultrasound, to determine the underlying cause of your bladder outlet obstruction. Treatment might include medications or surgery.

Maybe you want to get into boat ownership, but can't be bothered to keep a full-sized one around. Maybe a jet ski isn't your style. Maybe you just like minature things. In any of those cases, you might like the Marinekart.
Very much the boat-equivalent of a go-kart (why they didn't call it a the boat-kart is anyone's guess), the Marinekart weighs around 55kg and has a 6 hp outboard engine that can get it up to around 20 mph. It's probably best enjoyed solo, but you can pack up to four people on if that's seems like a good idea to you. So far, the price is TBA, but it'll surely be less than a real boat, and probably closer to jet ski territory. Whatever the price, it beats the hell out of a paddle boat. [Marinekart via Uncrate]

"Love makes us feel alive"
Tough guy or sensitive soul, Javier Bardem can play anyone. He talks about Farsi, keeping work in perspective and his love for Penélope Cruz
Señor Bardem, You've portrayed legendary baddies in movies like Skyfall and No Country for Old Men. What's more your style, playing the average guy or the villain?
The two are worlds apart, but I always try to understand a character's motivation. The fact that people always do things for a reason is one of the things that makes this job so enjoyable. I started studying human behavior as a kid, the only difference being that I expressed myself by painting. But I already felt the urge to understand humanity.
You went to art school, but you never attended acting school …
I always wanted to understand the stories behind the faces. I was never interested in colors and shapes, and I never painted a still life, only faces. The powers of observation that a portrait requires fits with my perspective on life: How a person talks, moves, deals with others, behaves – this is what fascinates me. That's why I became an actor.
Does the soul life of a 007 villain interest you as well?
There are many aspects about Silva that would provide a good starting point: His mother betrayed him, he felt like a child who'd been banished from his home and felt the kind of jealousy for Bond that he might for a big brother. It sounds so dazzling, playing a Bond baddie, but I saw him as a person whose broken childhood and the fear he felt as a child explain the anger and hate that he feels today.
Are popcorn movies, pirate sagas and Hollywood a world away when you are shooting in the Spanish provinces – as you did for Everybody Knows – with two-times Oscar winning director Asghar Farhadi from Iran?
I really love entertaining teenagers! But working with Farhadi was a totally different experience. He shows such sensitivity toward his actors and his stories speak a universal language of truth, loyalty, authenticity – and always of love. Love builds us up, only love makes us truly feel alive.
What insights into your culture were you able to give Farhadi while shooting in Torrelaguna near Madrid? Anything to do with food or cooking?
Asghar already knew a lot about us. He came to live in Spain for six months, studied our mentality and even wrote the script in Spanish. All I had to explain to him was why the Spanish wear their tie around their forehead when they're drunk – and that we have plenty of other similarly absurd customs!
What did you learn from him?
I was surprised to hear Asghar often say the work baleh, which sounds exactly like the Spanish vale. And I found out that it means "yes" or "okay" in Farsi, too. So I speak a little Farsi! Every morning, Asghar would quote a work by the Persian poet Rumi that had a bearing on the scene we were playing – wonderful! We were all madly in love with this man. I would shoot another film with him straight away if the opportunity arose.
Speaking of love: You have made four films with your wife Penélope Cruz. Did they dictate the rhythm of your relationship?
The first time we worked together, on Jamón Jamón, she was just 16 years old and I was 21. Incredibly young, right? Then it was another 16 years before we made Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona together. But we weren't a couple then …
… but you fell in love on set. How did that happen?
Well … something takes place, nothing obvious, nothing specific. We both felt a kind of buzz and thought, "That's odd …" But we had a job to do. We got married straight after!
Our reality as a family is more important than any fiction, any story
Now you have two children, one seven and the other five. What is the most amazing thing about being a father?
How quickly you learn to live in the moment. My kids don't let me sit around thinking. When I'm with them, there's no space for anything else. They take my full attention! Every moment has its own surprises. That's the best of it: You have no expectations but are constantly bowled over by what your kids come up with.
Is working with Penélope different for you now?
We are both adults who know that our reality is more important that fiction, than any story. Our kids want to experience me as their dad, not as a character. And they don't want to see Penélope as the distraught Laura she plays in Everybody Knows, but as their mom.
Is it hard to separate your work from your private life?
We decided to draw a line between our work and our family. We have both learned to set our characters aside in the evening, and it's actually improved our work because now we have such an appetite for the role when we are on set. But once the scene is in the can, that's that. I don't need to keep on chewing over my character's experience like a cow.
In Everybody Knows, Penélope plays a mother whose daughter has been kidnapped, and you play her ex-husband who supports her through the crisis. How does it affect you to see Penélope suffering, even if it is "only" for the movie?
In front of the camera, she goes through a painful process for art's sake. But it was her decision! I respect that kind of work, can give her the space she needs to do it and will always be there for her if she needs help.
That's a twofold declaration of love – to your wife and your job.
An actor's work is a very personal thing; it's like psychotherapy. And I am a huge fan of therapy! I am in therapy myself and can only recommend it. As an actor, it helps you to bring out a very vulnerable part of yourself that you don't have to bury away safely afterwards.

After days of anticipation, James Corden's Carpool Karaoke segment with Adele is finally here.
The Brit late-night show host drove around with the one and only Grammy winner, and it's safe to say that the two hit it off right away.
Adele and Corden wasted no time in getting down to business, with pitch-perfect duets of one of her most famous tracks from the past like "Rolling in the Deep," followed by her current chart-topping ballad, "Hello."
U.S. & World
And as usually tends to happen with Corden's Carpool Karaoke segment, the "Late Late Show" host's chemistry with his musical guest (and passenger) is absolutely undeniable.
During a preview clip from earlier this week, the 27-year-old chatted about her newly chopped locks. Corden admitted he's "loving" the new look, reassuring a hesitant Adele after her big hairdo change.
Adele turns to the comedian and explains that she's contemplating wearing a weave for an appearance the next day, to which Corden replied, "What I like is that you're coming to me for this advice."
The two immediately burst into laughter before going right back into singing tracks as they cruise around London.
"It's such a shame that it's running because I think Americans are going to assume that England is rubbish," Adele told Corden before launching into "Hello."

The two also bonded over their mutual love of The Spice Girls and Adele's heartbreak after Geri Halliwell quit the band in the late '90s. "That was the first time I was, like, truly heartbroken," Adele explained before covering "Wannabe" with Corden.
Corden had also heard that Adele is a skilled rapper, so he put her skills to the test as she recited Nicki Minaj's lines from "Monster."
Before the ride ended, the two had a few laughs talking about EGOT possibilities, being "THE Adele," and remixing "Rolling in the Deep."
But don't take our word for it; check out the video of these two above and enjoy.

WORCESTER'S MP gathered 150 signatures on a petition to get a council to rethink a parking charge hike which will he says will "hurt the High Street".
Robin Walker was joined by local councillors, Philip Bradbourn MEP and Alex Avern, who is a candidate to become an MEP for the West Midlands in Worcester on Saturday.
The petition reads: "We the undersigned are concerned that plans to raise parking costs in Worcester by 10 per cent will hurt the High Street. They would be bad news for local businesses and may not even raise more money.
The city council should be doing everything it can to help small businesses. Higher parking charges risk driving visitors away and adding to the parking and traffic problems in nearby residential streets.
We therefore urge that parking charges in Worcester City Centre be frozen or reduced."
The increase in charges, if approved at a full council meeting at Worcester Guildhall on February 25, will come into force on April 1.
Although the weather conditions meant that many shoppers were unable to stop and sign the petition, almost everybody who took the time to read it agreed that putting up parking charges would be a bad idea and in the space of just over one hour over 150 people signed, Mr Walker said.
These included managers or staff as almost every shop in the lower end of the High Street and many of the shops in CrownGate and residents on nearby streets. Mr Walker said: "It is very clear that there is enormous concern both amongst shoppers, High Street businesses and people living around the city centre about the Labour Group's ill thought out plans to increase parking charges. After the previous administration cut the cost of parking and offered discounted rates, revenues fell by less than expected because more people used the city council's car parks. Surely they can see the opposite is likely to be the case if they put charges up?"
But Cllr Adrian Gregson, the Labour leader of Worcester City Council, said: "I'm disappointed that Robin Walker seems determined to turn car parking prices into a political football. The removal of the half hour car park window fee is very supportive of of retail businesses. It means people will spend more time in the city in the shops, cafes and restaurants. We have also kept St Martin's Gate Car Park open at the same price - £3.60 per day which is excellent value for commuters and for people who want to stay longer in the city." He also said Worcester's car parking was good value compared to other similar sized towns or cities like Cheltenham and Solihull. He said: "To suggest we're not supportive of small businesses is a nonsense." Cllr Gregson said the issue was much broader than parking charges and included business rate relief to help small businesses.

Something that sounded like Good-bye;
And everybody thinks that you are dead,
But I.
So I, as I grow stiff and cold
To this and that say Good-bye too;
And everybody sees that I am old
But you.
And one fine morning in a sunny lane
Some boy and girl will meet and kiss and swear
That nobody can love their way again
While over there
You will have smiled, I shall have tossed your hair.

International Registry on Cholangiocarcinoma Treatment (CHOLANGIO)

- How to Read a Study Record
Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare and very aggressive neoplasm that arises from the biliary epithelium, constitutes approximately 2% of all reported cancer, and accounts for about 3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies. Up to date, there are many modalities to diagnosis and treat with a range of sensitivity and specificity, and also the advantage and disadvantage of its modality. Cholangiocarcinoma has a poor prognosis. Surgical resection offers the only curative option and usually requires a major hepatic resection in addition to resection of the cholangiocarcinoma. Unfortunately, curative resection is possible in only about 30% of patients due to locally advanced disease, distant metastases or comorbidity in elderly patients. Even after resection, the recurrence rate is approximately 60%, resulting in a low 5-year overall survival (OS).
Patients with intra-hepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) have a very limited benefit from systemic chemotherapy, indeed, in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma Overall Survival with systemic chemotherapy is less than 1 year. Since most cholangiocarcinoma patients develop distant metastases at late stages only, locoregional therapy is an interesting therapeutic strategy.
Locoregional therapy studies in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma employing radiofrequency ablation (RFA), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or external as well as internal radiation therapy yielded promising results in the last couple of years.
TACE is safe and may be effective for prolonging the survival of patients with nonresectable combined hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) -cholangiocarcinoma, as compared with the historically reported survivals of these patients. Tumor vascularity is highly associated with tumor response. The patient survival period after TACE for combined HCC-cholangiocarcinoma is significantly dependent on tumor size, tumor vascularity, Child-Pugh class, and presence or absence of portal vein invasion.
Currently, few centers perform TACE therapy for unresectable Cholangiocarcinoma. Several European studies have reported the efficacy and safety TACE for ICC.
The establishment of a registry to obtain the majority of Cholangiocarcinoma cases treated with locoregional approach within and outside Europe can help the investigators evaluate a larger and non-ambiguous sample population. This would help the investigators evaluate the technical success rates, clinical success rates, feasibility and safety of TACE for ICC.
|Condition or disease
|Drug: Doxorubicin
Study Design: Prospective observational study
Primary objective: This is a data collection study where the main purpose is to collect information about the treatments that patients receive for their unresectable cholangiocarcinoma.
Secondary objectives: To create an international Registry including patients undergoing locoregional treatments, to correlate tumour characteristics with outcome, survival and prognosis; to identify criteria for guiding therapy including TACE, chemoinfusion and other locoregional treatments
Treatment modalities for TACE
Day -1 Doxorubicina 50-75 mg/mq has been charged onto 2 ml of 70-150 µm M1 microspheres at Pharmacy.
Day -1 : prehydration, antibiotic prophylaxis and setting up of a therapeutic scheme appropriate for analgesic prophylaxis (3-day duration) as previously reported 1 vial of tropisetron (diluted in 100ml of physiological solution) administered by slow drip Day 0: Upon admittance to the radiology room, the patient receive morphine hydrochloride 10 mgr diluted in 100 ml of salin solution i.v. (to be repeated one hour after the procedure and if necessary also after 6 hours).
Tropisetron i.v. if needed. Intra-arterial premedication with 2.5 mgr of verapamil 2.5 mgr diluted in 4 ml of normal saline solution followed by 4 ml of lidocaine 2%.
Selected arterial Infusion (considering tumor uptake and dominant disease) of doxorubicina 50-75 mg preloaded into 2 ml of 70-150 µm M1 microspheres.
Second infusion of doxorubicin at the same dose into 2 ml of 70-150 µm M1 microspheres can be administered in a further TACE (oncologist's planning of cure).
Day +30: The above procedure is repeated. Day +90: In case of response, a third administration following the above procedures will be repeated
Evaluation of response
Response must be assessed by repeating the following examinations at Day 30, Day 90 and Day 120 after start of treatment:
Chest-abdomen CAT scan with and without contrast medium (refer to Section 4). Evaluation will be based on the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) cancer markers (CEA), Cancer Antigen (CA) 19.9)
Assessment of quality of life The Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) is used to monitor health conditions and quality of life.
The questionnaire must be filled in by the patient unaided by family members or by health care personnel, over a period of about 15 minutes. Assessment of quality of life will be performed during the baseline visit and at Day 30, Day 60 and Day 120 from start of treatment.

BASE jumping from New River Gorge bridge, Bridge Day, West Virginia, USA. BASE jumping is the sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for the four categories of objects from which one can jump; (B)uilding, (A)ntenna (an uninhabited tower such as an aerial mast), (S)pan (a bridge, arch or dome), and (E)arth (a cliff or other natural formation). BASE jumping is much more dangerous than skydiving from aircraft and is currently regarded as a fringe extreme sport. -from Wikipedia.

Long answer: Cosmic Encounter (CE) is hard to describe. It's a board game, it's a
card game, it's a power game, it's a beuracratic game, and yet
at the same time it is none of these things.
It's not a role-playing-game, though ever single RPG'er that I've taught CE to has loved it.
It is initially a simple game, but then the players are given powers that let them bend, change or break the rules. It was the inspiration for Richard Garfield's famous game 'Magic: The Gathering,' but unlike M:TG, you only need to buy it once.
Well, sort of. CE has been published by a number of gaming companies in a number of countries, and geeks like me like to get them all.
It's fun, basically. That's it.

The Chemistry program prepares students for professional work, graduate work or teaching in chemistry, biochemistry, materials science and environmental science. In view of the diversity of goals students bring to the study of chemistry or biochemistry, the department offers both the bachelor of arts and the bachelor of science degrees. The B.A. degree is recommended primarily for students who plan to enter fields related to chemistry or biochemistry, for which additional graduate work is not required. Students should realize that additional coursework may be needed to prepare them adequately to achieve their goals. The B.S. degree is recommended for students who intend to pursue graduate study in chemistry or biochemistry.
A chemistry or biochemistry major can also be used for preparation for medical school, dental school, veterinary medicine school or any of the other professional health sciences. A career at a forensic laboratory is also available to qualified students upon graduation.
With the growing popularity of forensic science, students are entering the field of forensic investigation. Specifically, interest in the role of the scientific laboratory in forensic investigation has attracted students who want to achieve competence in forensic science. The concentration in laboratory forensic science requires students to become well grounded in the fields of chemistry or biochemistry. The Chemistry Department's forensic chemistry concentration is directed toward preparing students for careers in the science laboratory, not at the crime scene.
The forensic chemistry concentration consists of 62-63 credit hours of core courses, 10 credit hours in one physics sequence, and 8 credit hours in Advanced Forensic Chemistry I and other courses such as Biochemistry, Research, Internship, Special Topics or Independent Study. A total of 80-81 credit hours will be required for the chemistry major with the forensic concentration. This concentration will give students a competent foundation and prepare them for graduate study in the fields of forensic science, chemistry, and/or biochemistry.
The Chemistry Department also co-sponsors with the Biology Department a B.S. degree in Environmental Studies with a concentration in chemistry.
All majors in programs sponsored by the Chemistry Department must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75 as well as a GPA of 2.75 in Chemistry or be dropped from the department. All transfer students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 as well as a minimum GPA of 2.75 in Chemistry. All students, whether majors in programs sponsored by the Chemistry Department or majors outside the department, may take a Chemistry class only twice at Lewis University. If a student has not achieved a minimum of a C after the second attempt, the student may not repeat the class at Lewis University.
Majors in various Department of Chemistry programs may wish to take a minor in Marketing for Science Majors
