Wellesley, Mass. — The global market for thin films in energy applications is projected to reach $3.9 billion in 2013 up from $1.1 billion in 2007 for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.5%, according to BCC Research.
The new technical market research report, The Global Market for Thin Films in Energy Applications, divides the market into application segments for photovoltaics, concentrating solar power, geothermal energy, nuclear energy, batteries and fuel cells. Of these, the photovoltaics segment holds the largest share of the market, with $916.4 million in revenues in 2007. This is slated to increase to $1.2 billion in 2008 and over $3.3 billion in 2013, for a CAGR of 23.6%.
Thin films for fuel-cell applications are the second largest segment, with sales exceeding $82.0 million in 2007. Sales are expected to increase to $98.7 million in 2008 and $301.0 million in 2013, for a CAGR of 25.0%.
Thin films for batteries consume the third largest share of the market, worth $36.0 million in 2007 and an estimated $39.2 million in 2008. This segment should reach over $98.0 million in 2013, for a CAGR of 20.1%. This segment is followed by applications in nuclear energy, which are expected to see the slowest growth of any segment. Revenues in 2007 exceeded $25.0 million and are expected to increase only slightly in 2008. This segment is projected to reach $33.1 million in 2013 for a CAGR of 5.0%.
Concentrating solar power applications are expected to see the most robust growth of any segment. Sales for thin films in this segment generated $14.7 million in 2007 and an estimated $23.4 million in 2008. This is expected to reach $93.0 million in 2013 for a CAGR of 31.8%.
Thin films for geothermal applications hold the smallest share of the market, worth $2.7 million in 2007. This is expected to increase to $3.0 million in 2008 and $5.3 million in 2013, for a CAGR of over 12.0%.¹

She's hot on the heels of Amy Schumer and fast on her way to becoming a household name!
Iliza Shlesinger is on fire and taking no prisoners! In what has been a whirlwind rise to popularity in the last few years, she's the only female to have won the title of NBC's Last Comic Standing, her debut comedy special Warpaint was one of the most downloaded comedy specials on Itunes and Netflix picked up her follow up Freezing Hot, a hilarious stand-up special that showcases her high-energy observational routine and sparky digs at the gender divide.
Fresh from filming her Netflix comedy special, Elder Millennial, Iliza Shlesinger is taking the hilarious show onto the road. From her expressive body language to her 'Party Goblin' persona, Iliza knows how to own a stage and how to mock being an Elder Millennial.
Shlesinger is bold, brash and hysterical as she confronts the age old myths that surround womanhood. Her humour puts a fresh spin on the mars/venus debate while her ballsy observations cover everything from what it means to be a 30-something single woman on the town to ignoring the mischievous "party goblin" that comes out to play when she drinks.

ISPRS 2003 The Messenger Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS): Imaging Strategy at Mercury
The MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) spacecraft will launch in March of 2004, beginning a 5-year journey to Mercury. Mercury has been visited by only one spacecraft, Mariner10, making it the least explored terrestrial planet. Mercury is an endmember planet in terms of position, density, and composition, and knowledge of its geology and geophysics is fundamental to understanding the evolution of the inner solar system. The spacecraft will make two flybys of the planet, in July of 2007 and April of 2008, before settling into a year-long orbital mission in April of 2009. MESSENGER will carry a set of miniaturized instruments optimized to investigate such key science questions as the origin of Mercury's high density, the composition and structure of its crust, the physical properties of its core, the planet's tectonic and volcanic history, the nature of the radar bright deposits found in craters near the pole, and the characteristics of the planet's thin atmosphere and miniature magnetosphere. The Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS), a narrow-angle and wide-angle multispectral imager, will map landforms, surface spectral variations, and topographic relief.

I liked this book because it is my favorite television show in the world. I also like it because it has funny pictures. My favorite characters are Scooby-Doo and Shaggy. I think the funniest part is when Scooby-Doo says "Raggy Rook at me I'm a hot dog." If you like funny books and mystery stories, this is the book for you.
I recommend this book to people that like mystery stories. A reader who likes funny mysteries would like this book. People who watch the television show would also like this book. These books are small and easy so any age can read it.

Can God create a rock so heavy that he can't lift it?
It has been suggested that this article be merged with Omnipotence paradox
The paradoxical question, "Can God create a rock so heavy that he can't lift it?" is a rather silly conundrum designed to show that the term omnipotent is actually meaningless.
Omnipotent means "all-powerful", which is typically understood to mean "able to do anything". If God can do anything, then he should be able to create such a rock. But once the rock is created, he should also be able to lift it, which contradicts the first claim.
This is reminiscent of a story about a medieval arms salesman who boasted that his sword was so sharp that it could penetrate any armor, and his shield was so tough that it could withstand any attack. A member of the crowd called out, "What happens when you strike your sword against your own shield?" The salesman was stumped.
The answer is that the salesman was lying about one of his products. Or to put it another way, a perfect sword and a perfect shield cannot exist simultaneously. If there exists any sword that can penetrate all shields, then by definition there does not exist any shield that can withstand all attacks.
Similarly, there cannot exist a rock that cannot be lifted in a universe that also contains a God who can lift anything. Yet this proves that there is something that God cannot create.
How do we get out of the paradox? An atheist would answer that the very idea of being "all-powerful" is meaningless and not worthy of consideration in the real world. However, apologists often respond that "all-powerful" means "God can do everything... that is logically possible" (a common example given is that God can't create a square circle). This also is a limitation on God as if God is bound by logic, then he can't be the author of logic.
As C.S. Lewis states in Mere Christianity:
- "His omnipotence includes power to do all that is intrinsically possible, not to do the intrinsically impossible. You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense."
This raises the question of what exactly a miracle is, if not doing the impossible. Of course, the qualifier intrinsically is an important one. Still, this seems to paint a picture of God as simply the most powerful being in the universe, instead of an all-powerful one.
Also, God cannot improve himself since that would mean that he lacks a necessary attribute, although improvement is something which is logically possible to all human beings. Therefore, God is not omnipotent.
Of course a person of the Catholic faith might argue that this paradox can be resolved by the idea of the "Holy Trinity", in so much that the "Heavenly Father" could easily create a rock that Jesus, being human, could not lift. Since they believe the "Heavenly Father" and Jesus are one and the same. However, this is fallacious as in such a context, "God" would refer to the entire trinity.

So long, Camp Rotary.
The embers have grown cold on the last campfire. Only ghostly giggles drift through Happy Hollow. The flag will be raised and lowered no more.
On Sunday, Girl Scouts past and present gathered on their sacred ground to say goodbye to the spot held tightly in so many hearts.
The Farewell to Camp Rotary closed a chapter in local and regional Girl Scouting written over 80 years.
It was another century, another time in the way girls� lives were ordered when the camp opened, thanks to the generosity of the Gastonia Rotary Club.
For years, girls learned the ends and outs of �roughing it� � taking nature hikes, canoeing on the lake, sleeping on cots in screened-in cabins, singing �round the campfire, mastering first aid and learning the difference between the bathroom back home and a latrine!
As years passed, two-week-long sessions morphed into day camp with girls returning to their own family quarters to sleep in their own beds in their own rooms. Girls and their interests changed, and so did Girl Scouts, the organization constantly working to remain relevant to girls of the day.
The particulars of attending Camp Rotary changed over its long history, but the core experience remained the same.
At Camp Rotary, girls learned skills that helped them grow into leaders, to choose a vocation, to make their place in the world they would live in.
They learned that homesickness would not break a young heart and that once cured, like chicken pox, would never return.
They learned that, at age 9 or 10, Crowders Mountain seemed mighty far from home, but only a few years later would be just down the road of their happiest memories.
And then there were � still are � the friendships, cemented by the common experiences of youth.
Over the history of Camp Rotary, new friends stayed in touch to relive fun times and catch up on the latest, whether that meant writing long letters or sending a quick text.
Old friends found their bonds strengthened, bringing the experiences of Camp Rotary into their ongoing lives at home and school.
Gastonia Rotarians and the Peaks to Piedmont Girl Scout Council are working on a final division of Camp Rotary property. The Scouts plan to sell their share.
The land surely will find another use, one that fits the needs of the current time. Camp Rotary will be lost to the ages � but never to the memories of the thousands of girls who went there and left with a piece in their hearts forever.
So long, Camp Rotary. Farewell, old friend.

A jury has acquitted two cousins accused of attacking a Kentucky man because he is gay, the first time prosecutors pursued federal hate crime charges in a case where the victim was allegedly targeted due to their sexual orientation, media reports say.
However, Anthony Jenkins and Jason Jenkins were convicted on Wednesday on kidnapping and conspiracy charges in the assault on Kenneth Pennington in a state park last year.
The Department of Justice had argued that the pair assaulted Pennington, 29, because he was gay and said the intent was to kill him. Anthony Jenkins' attorney, Willis Coffey, denied that, saying it was a plan to buy drugs that went wrong.
Jurors did not comment after the decision was rendered, nor did federal prosecutors, The Associated Press reported.
Relatives of Anthony Jenkins wept, while Pennington made an audible sigh when the verdict was read, media reports said.
"You'd like to have an acquittal on all counts, but he's happy he was found not guilty of a hate crime," Coffey said, according to The AP. "So am I."
The cousins allegedly punched and kicked Pennington while yelling anti-gay slurs at him during the April 4, 2011 attack in Kingdom Come State Park, The Lexington Herald Leader reported. Defense attorneys argued the attack stemmed from drug and alcohol abuse, said the paper, but the prosecutor argued otherwise.
"This is not about drugs, this is about the fact that Kevin is gay," U.S. Justice Department civil rights attorney AeJean Cha told jurors, according to The AP.
Pennington described the attack after he escaped in a 911 call played by Assistant U.S. Attorney Hydee Hawkins.
"They're trying to kill me," Pennington said. "I didn't know what they were going to do. I think it's because I'm gay."
Coffey, the defense attorney for Anthony Jenkins, said his client -- who has an IQ of about 75 -- told the court on Wednesday that Jenkins never formulated a plan to attack or kill Pennington, and called the anti-gay allegations "the nearest thing to nothing I have ever seen," reported The AP.
The Jenkins were the first people prosecuted under part of the federal hate crime law that makes it a crime to hurt someone because of their perceived or real sexual orientation. The pair faces life in prison on the kidnapping charges when they are sentenced on Feb. 21, 2013.
In April, Anthony Jenkins' wife -- Mable Ashley Jenkins, 19 -- and his sister, Alexis LeeAnn Jenkins, also 19 -– pleaded guilty to assisting the kidnapping and assault of Pennington because he is gay, the Justice Department said in a statement.
It was the first federal convictions nationwide for violating the sexual orientation provision of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act.

Long-Term Herceptin Usage
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My sister has stage IV breast cancer and is being treated with Herceptin and Tamoxifen. Assuming the treatment continues to work effectively, is taking Herceptin long after the chemotherapy treatment is over considered risky?
Kevin Fox, MD Assistant Director, Clinical Affairs and Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The safety of long-term Herceptin treatment is unknown because the medication is so new. The longest stretches of Herceptin treatment alone reported in the literature approach two years. Unanticipated problems have not emerged to date, but studies are ongoing. We generally recommend close cardiac monitoring with evaluation of ejection fraction every two to three months because cardiac toxicity has been reported in patients receiving chemotherapy at the same time as Herceptin.

Technology has simultaneously been the Millennial generation's best friend and worst enemy. While they have grown up with social media and iPhones, they've also lived under the specter of Mark Zuckerberg, Kevin Systrom, and Mike Krieger.
Seeing Facebook and Instagram make these twentysomethings into billionaires has upped the ante for what young people expect out of life—and their careers.
While many workers of this generation may anticipate an overnight success of their own, they'd be better off working their way up.
Back to the Future
Wait, working your way up—isn't that how our grandparents wound up toiling away in the same companies for decades? That's so 1950.
It's easy for inexperienced professionals to get caught up in the Zuckerberg example—he didn't finish college and didn't spend 80 hours a week working his way up in a traditional corporation. With a lack of context, it's tempting to believe we're all destined to be exceptions on the level of Facebook.
That's just it—these guys are exceptions and not the rule. Many things must coincide to be that lucky. I don't mean these guys were lucky in that they had good ideas; with any good idea, timing and opportunity must meet. It's dangerous, for young people especially, to think that's the road to travel.
Magazines like to glamorize Hollywood stars' career trajectories as if they were, well, straight out of a movie. The reality is that most actors work menial jobs, take endless acting classes, go on 10,000 auditions, and then finally land the role that opens the door to more work. The myth of their "overnight success" is exactly that: a myth.
Strategize Your Way Up
Your best bet—if you plan to have a career that spans more than 10 years—is to find your niche and strategize your vertical move from there. While you can make wildly zigzagging moves across industries, remember one thing: What you skip over is often what you need in order to be successful later.
I found success in the mattress industry, partly because I didn't want to do what everyone else was doing, and partly because I modeled myself after the most successful people I found. These moves were key to my upward trajectory:
- I learned the basics. I took people I emulated to lunch, and I replicated the basics of what they did. The basics are overlooked by many starting out, but they're called basics for a reason. If you aren't good at them, don't plan on being talented at much else.
- I developed my own strategy. I tried to swim upstream whenever possible. While other trainers focused on the products they were selling, I took speaking classes because I wanted to be the most dynamic person in the room. My strategy was to give the salespeople a skill and help them make more money. They were teaching spec; I was educating them on sales, which is a skill that would benefit them no matter what industry they worked in.
- I had pure intentions. I genuinely wanted to help people - hence, my focus on developing people's skills. If you're trying to provide information, you'll be somewhat successful. If your intention is to help people find a new approach to doing things, you'll create ripples that last a lot longer.
- I put in the effort. Many people fail to follow through and end up disappointing those around them. If you say you're going to call, pick up the phone. If you can learn from someone who works on Saturdays, use your day off to enhance your days on.
- I was memorable. You can be memorable for being the guy who never met a 3-hour lunch he didn't want to take - or you can be memorable for doing things no one else does. Call a customer on his birthday, remember the names of his children, and send him a fishing article when it reminds you of him. He'll remember you, simply for remembering him.
How do you know if these tools are paying off? First, you have to define what success is to you. It could be a salary, a certain position in a company, or some other personal measure. Once you know what your own success is, set goals to achieve those things, but be aggressive. You will know you have the right set of goals when they make you a little uncomfortable.
Hitting the Ceiling
These benchmarks are good gut checks to determine whether you're actually finding success in your chosen field. But what do you do when it becomes apparent that you're not meeting standards?
Being a success means being open to criticism. You take all of the good feedback you receive and let that fuel you; why don't you let the negative critiques fuel you just as much? As I say to my Little League kids, you have to have a short memory. You are going to screw up. If you never screw up, you're not trying hard enough.
Make sure you know what you did so you don't repeat it, but go even more aggressively after goals than you did before. If you hit the ball three out of every ten times you're at bat, you'd make millions in the majors. That means you get to screw up seven times!
Not the Right Kind of Success
This sentiment may be cliché, but are you doing the work you love to do? Or are you just enduring the grind on your way to the top of an industry that doesn't really fire you up? All the time, I see people walking the halls of companies who are just showing up for the paycheck.
When you look closer, there is no purpose in coming to work every day, and their approach to the job really lacks something. Most of the successful people I know love what they do and when I say "love," I mean they are excited about getting to work every day. If you are reading this and can't really relate to what I am writing, my guess is you might fit the unhappy category. People who love what they do inject passion into the work, which often means they succeed at higher levels.
A guy named Kevin cleans our offices, so I get to chat with him every day around 5pm. He loves what he does for a living, so I enjoy talking with him. Kevin is a huge success in life. Compare him to the guy in accounting, who makes twice the pay, but goes home every night completely unfulfilled. Kevin wins in my book, because if you are not enjoying the ride, get yourself a convertible and drive a different road.
Many Millennials have been told that they can be whatever they want. For the most part this is true—but do you want to be happy and good at whatever you want, or do you just stubbornly want to be whatever you want? There's no shame in moving to another niche if you're not passionate where you are. You can carry with you all the tools you've developed.
In the end, it's your own opinion of your journey that determines your level of success. Stop comparing your path to that of Mark Zuckerberg. His success has nothing to do with yours—and your lack of "overnight" speed doesn't make yours any less valuable.

Major Section: EVENTS
Example: (defevaluator evl evl-list ((length x) (member x y)))See meta.
General Form: (defevaluator ev ev-list ((g1 x1 ... xn_1) ... (gk x1 ... xn_k))where
ev and
ev-list are new function symbols and
g1, ...,
gk are
old function symbols with the indicated number of formals, i.e.,
gi has
n_i formals.
This function provides a convenient way to constrain
ev and
to be mutually-recursive evaluator functions for the symbols
gk. Roughly speaking, an evaluator function for a fixed,
finite set of function symbols is a restriction of the universal
evaluator to terms composed of variables, constants, lambda
expressions, and applications of the given functions. However,
evaluator functions are constrained rather than defined, so that the
proof that a given metafunction is correct vis-a-vis a particular
evaluator function can be lifted (by functional instantiation) to a
proof that it is correct for any larger evaluator function.
See meta for a discussion of metafunctions.
Defevaluator executes an
encapsulate after generating the
defun and
defthm events. Perhaps the easiest way to
understand what
defevaluator does is to execute the keyword command
:trans1 (defevaluator evl evl-list ((length x) (member x y)))and inspect the output. This trick is also useful in the rare case that the event fails because a hint is needed. In that case, the output of
trans1 can be edited by adding hints, then
submitted directly.
ev is said to be an ``evaluator function for
gk, with mutually-recursive counterpart
ev-list'' iff
ev and
ev-list are constrained functions satisfying just the
constraints discussed below.
Ev and
ev-list must satisfy constraints (1)-(4) and (k):
(1) How to ev a variable symbol: (implies (symbolp x) (equal (ev x a) (cdr (assoc-eq x a))))
(2) How to ev a constant: (implies (and (consp x) (equal (car x) 'quote)) (equal (ev x a) (cadr x)))
(3) How to ev a lambda application: (implies (and (consp x) (consp (car x))) (equal (ev x a) (ev (caddar x) (pairlis$ (cadar x) (ev-list (cdr x) a)))))
(4) How to ev an argument list: (implies (consp x-lst) (equal (ev-list x-lst a) (cons (ev (car x-lst) a) (ev-list (cdr x-lst) a)))) (implies (not (consp x-lst)) (equal (ev-list x-lst a) nil))
(k) For each i from 1 to k, how to ev an application of gi, where gi is a function symbol of n arguments: (implies (and (consp x) (equal (car x) 'gi)) (equal (ev x a) (gi (ev x1 a) ... (ev xn a)))), where xi is the (cad...dr x) expression equivalent to (nth i x).
Defevaluator defines suitable witnesses for
ev and
ev-list, proves
the theorems about them, and constrains
ev and
appropriately. We expect
defevaluator to work without assistance
from you, though the proofs do take some time and generate a lot of
output. The proofs are done in the context of a fixed theory,
namely the value of the constant
(Aside: (3) above may seem surprising, since the bindings of
a are not
included in the environment that is used to evaluate the lambda body,
(caddar x). However, ACL2 lambda expressions are all closed:
(lambda (v1 ... vn) body), the only free variables in
body are
among the
vi. See term.)

text: Well for my AI utility thing, I've been toying with the idea of using fractals as a basis for some algorithms. I got the idea when I realized that for what I'm wanting to do, the perceptrons would not be storing normal geometric functions and things like that, but would each work independently to work with a seemingly random set of numbers to find some level of organization. When I pictured this, it reminded me of a fractal graph I had seen in math. I thought fractals, because of the iterative nature would be perfect for predicting things. Unfortunately, we didn't really do much with fractals in math, and I have no idea how to generate a fractal, based on the regular (x,y) (with a z in there somewhere) graph. I got on google and had a look around, but I can't find a tutorial that explains any of this well at all. Anyone?

after following the guide posted at github "https://github.com/SchedulesDirect/mfdb-json/tree/API-20141201"
I was able to add and link lineup using sd-json into mythtv but I did run into a few problems.
1- sd-utility.php is unable to create schedulesdirect database's tables when running for the first time. I had to manually create 3 tables and the perform sd-utility.php --reset in order to get the script to recreate all the tables from scratch.
2- while searching for lineups (using option #2 sd-utility.php) The script keeps showing this message:

3- the script is unable to set the schema version in the database. I have run the sd-utility.php and add a few listing to my account, linked it to a channel lineup and update it. everything works well ...

Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw Plan 2012 Tour and Duet
Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw are reportedly planning a 2012 tour that will be tough to beat. The country superstars are rumored to be finalizing details on a co-headlining show that will rival the 2011 dates Chesney did with the Zac Brown Band.
Industry trade publication Country Aircheck reports that the official announcement isn't expected for a few more days. Whether this will be a stadium, amphitheater or arena tour remains to be seen, but there's little doubt the two could sell out football stadiums like Chesney and the Zac Brown Band did last summer.
In addition, Country Aircheck reports that the two singers are working on a duet. If this is true, it seems likely that it'd end up on a future Chesney project, as McGraw's recording career has been put on pause while he works out legal differences with his label, Curb Records.
Chesney and McGraw are longtime friends and have previously worked together on Tracy Lawrence's 2006 hit 'Find Out Who Your Friends Are.' In June 2000, both men were arrested after Chesney failed to follow police orders to get off of an officer's horse in Buffalo, N.Y. McGraw came to his aid and both men were charged but later cleared. We're confident any upcoming collaboration will not result in Faith Hill bailing them out.

This is Vegas aims to be a kind of open-ended Las Vegas simulation, but it's not simulating the real Las Vegas. It's more like you've stepped into the leading role of a National Lampoon movie, and you're going to tear this town a new one by living the dream. You know which dream I'm talking about: stiff booze, subservient women, high stakes gambling, fast driving, and in-your-face fighting.
While the game is open-ended, there's a method to your party-going madness. Billionaire fast-food tycoon Preston Bowyer wants to turn Vegas into a sterilized, family-friendly fun park, and it's up to you (and a cast of ludicrous extras from the city fringes) to get this party town back on track.
The gameplay demo we saw at E3 was nearly identical to the build we saw in April. See our earlier preview for details on the mechanics of the fighting, partying, and card-playing mini-games.
As we played through the demo this time around we focused on a couple of things, one of which was the wet tee-shirt contest. (Hey, nobody at Midway is trying to argue that this is a high-brow game).
We also paid attention to how the different game systems work together. The world is a dynamic, living place. So, if you're sitting at a casino playing Blackjack, stuff happens around you as the world goes about its business. Drunk guys stumble between the slot machines. Cocktail waitresses wander by (you can stop them and order drinks). Crowds gather to watch if you win a lot of money.
It turns out that Blackjack is a whole new game when you cheat, and in some ways it's a lot more interesting. In This is Vegas, the cards are marked, but not with their actual values. An "x" on a card means that it's either a face card or an ace, for instance, so there's some guesswork involved. Suddenly a run-of-the-mill game of Blackjack becomes a logic puzzle as you try to decipher what a dealer's holding, and you adopt new strategies, like drawing cards until an "x" shows up on the shoe that you know will almost certainly bust the dealer.
Unfortunately only Blackjack, poker, and slot machines are available for gaming, so the game won't mimic GameSpy's favorite pastime: high-stakes shirtless drunken craps.
But there's something to be said for the seamless open world. For instance, as we were playing Blackjack we spotted a car rotating above a bank of slot machines as a grand prize. "Can we vault over the slot machines, jump in the car, and drive it through the casino?" we asked. The answer? Yes.
This is Vegas definitely isn't for everyone. The sophomoric humor rewards players for acting like, well, total jerks. Not everyone will find it funny to beat up fluffy mascots with the assistance of a Frank Sinatralike, hijack a limo, then go into a club to set people on fire. But hey, we rarely get to act like jerks in real life, so if there's a game to help us unleash our inner "Animal House," we just might get on board.

Kim Kardashian fuels baby sex speculation with ballerina baby shower invitations
Pregnant reality star KIM KARDASHIAN has fuelled rumours she's expecting a daughter with rapper KANYE WEST - the invitations to her baby shower feature a dancing ballerina.
The socialite's sisters Kourtney and Khloe are hosting a special bash for the mum-to-be on 2 June (13) and they spared no expense when sending out the party invitations, which appropriately contain music boxes that, when opened, play West's song Hey Mama and put into motion a twirling toy ballerina, according to Eonline.com.
The over-the-top mailings have prompted many to suspect the socialite and fashion designer is planning for a girl, especially since photographers snapped multiple photos of Kardashian's assistant carrying a pink-themed baby gift basket into her home in April (13).
Actress-turned-TV host Kathie Lee Gifford, who is the beauty's godmother, first sparked speculation the couple was expecting a girl on U.S. breakfast show Today in February (13), when she said Kardashian was "four months pregnant, I think now with her little girl".
The stars are set to become first-time parents in July (13).

July 23, 2011- Mrs. Dorsey's Kitchen launches at Dekalb Market, in Downtown Brooklyn.
The how the where and perhaps the why
While I have some sources who may be able to find out details beforehand, the next big update on whether they will successfully take over the space presently occupied by Shane's (798 Washington) will occur on June 3rd.
That is when the CB8 Committee on alcohol permits meets.
Are "long time reader first time poster" things popular here?
Saw this thread through a friend, I'm sure Mrs. Dorsey's Kitchen isn't looking at Shane's space, but rather potentially looking at a spot next door, community board and other things pending. I'd know more but the two guys running the show are busy at work at Madison Square Eats and I haven't seen my neighbor all month!
Definitely looking forward though!
This makes sense in that Shanes would have been a huge grilled cheese place, and I do believe the location next door is vacant.
Friends and neighbors...be sure to check out the MDK grilled cheese at Madison Square Eats until May 31st
Welcome ronjohnjunion,
From your profile, http://brooklynian.com/forum/profile/ronjohnjunior , I assume you may be in the know about this place.
Are they/you taking over Shane's?
The postal place is still open and is located a few store front away (to the right of Ginos, just out of the below picture).
However, the sign/printing (orange awning) place is vacant.
Also, the soon to be vacant, soon to be former, location of Gino's Pizza could also be an option.
It has a kitchen, with venting....
Folks willing to endure a community meeting to figure out which storefront this will be located in, could attend the CB8 SLA mtg on June 3rd.
The former printing place in the photo had a sign in the window yesterday that made it clear it will be where Mrs Dorsey's is located - some sort of legal notice (I didn't stop to read through) that had the name of the business on it in bold letters.
The owners presented at the SLA Committee on June 3rd. They have done mostly smallish venues in other locations, such as Dekalb Market.
He'd like to be open until 2 AM, and serve food, along with beer and wine.
This is a small venue, which is being professionally designed.
This place seems like it will be yummy.
whynot: did you go to the SLA meeting tonight? There were a bunch of cliffhangers due to be presented tonight, right?
Does the SLA make any on-the-spot decisions like the CB does?
Any chance of a rundown thread?
Bullets would be acceptable.
I have updated the threads that were discussed.
No cliffhangers were resolved.

This evening, 7/24/2013, I saw the proprietors in the aforementioned 794 Washington, former printing place.
They were designing the space.
Build out will begin soon.
Hey Whynot_31 "Former" Lurker...Come by and say hello, next time, LOL. We are residence of the neighborhood, and friendly people (mostly because we're from the Midwest, ha!).
I spent my college years in Dayton, OH, so I do not fear your midwest ways.
I'll say hi the next time I see you guys. On the street, I can often been spotted as a result of having my dog with me. He is my avatar.
I spent my college years in Dayton, OH, so I do not fear your midwest ways.
I grew up in Dayton, Ohio!
I got a Bachelors degree from UD in 1992, and ate a few grilled cheese sandwiches along the way...
I flew the coop to Ohio University, down in Athens.
Do you have an estimate as to when you'll be able to open?
Nov 1, 2013?
Has the landlord told you his plans for the space next door, the former site of Ginos?
Awesome...I grew up between Cleveland and Toledo, OH! Then moved to Michigan...and graduated from the Great University of Michigan '06.
If all works out perfectly (knock on wood) we should be open by September. Its not that big of a space, just need to get it restaurant ready.
No details on the old Gino's spot.
I may have passed you Whynot_31...I have a golden pitt-mix. He's my business card, LOL the dog walking community is looking forward to MDK. (If you know anyone interested in adopting this little bugger let me know, he's 11 months, and licks everything)
As of Aug 15, the beer and wine lic is now in pending status:
Note: Both storefronts jabbered about above are known as 794 Washington to the NYS SLA, which contributed to the brief confusion.
Sept 7:
Demolition of the interior space has occurred, and brick walls have been exposed.
Due to the small size of the space, construction might not take long.
I hope "our" grilled cheese place is going to be as good this one that is about to open in Park Slope:
Oct 12:
Construction is well underway. A new concrete floor is presently being created, and it looks like they are doing some venting work.
This place might open by Dec 1.

Last-Minute Shoppers Settle For Less
It's early January, and you are just beginning to entertain a number of grand ideas about the most romantic way to demonstrate your affection to your sweetheart for Valentine's Day. Now imagine the calendar rolls forward to February 13, and you still have not bought a gift. The unpleasant possibility of waking up tomorrow morning empty-handed probably weighs heavier on your mind than any grandiose notion of thrilling your sweetheart with the perfect present. Suddenly, getting a gift that is merely "not bad" is of paramount concern.
When time is short, consumers settle for products that are just good enough rather than products billed as having a special zing, according to an article coauthored by Jennifer Aaker, the Xerox Distinguished Professorship in Knowledge at the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business; Cassie Theriault, a marketing Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business; and Ginger Pennington, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Busines.
On the other hand, with ample time to choose, consumers are more likely to desire goods and services that promise positive outcomes, such as the perfect gift, Aaker and her coauthors show in a forthcoming article.
"Last-minute shoppers on a tight deadline will pay more for a product advertised as a means to prevent a negative outcome (such as disappointing their spouse) than for a product advertised as a means to promote a positive outcome (such as thrilling their spouse with the perfect gift)," Aaker explains.
The trio's article, "Time Will Tell: The Distant Appeal of Promotion and Imminent Appeal of Prevention," is scheduled to appear in the February 2008 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.
After conducting a series of experiments with hundreds of college students, Aaker, Theriault, and Pennington found that the time before deciding to make a purchase is a critical factor in a consumers' decision making.
One study involved a group of students facing midterm examinations who either perceived the exams as "soon, only a week away" or "still a full week away." These students received sales pitches from a fictitious tutoring service that were presented either as a way to avoid failure – highlighted with the marketing slogan, "Don't do poorly in any class!" – or, more ambitiously as a way to achieve success, with the catchphrase, "Ace every class!"
The experiments found that consumers caught in a bind of having to buy something as soon as possible worry about failing their goal. This concern leads them to settle for products advertised as having the bare minimum features needed, as in the case of the tutorial service pitch claiming to help students to "not do poorly in class."
With more time to make a decision, however, consumers become more confident that they can reach "higher goals" in their purchase, so a product that is "good" will likely appeal more than a product that is merely "not bad," according to Aaker. Moreover, Aaker found through her experiments that consumers are willing to pay more for items that sellers present as having desirable features, or products that are "promotion-framed," sold under such sales slogans as "You desire the very best!"
For marketers, the findings suggest that the decision on whether to promote a product as something positive or as a means to prevent something negative should not be taken lightly. The results indicate that advertisements for products or services that are inherently prevention-oriented such as insurance would benefit from limiting the apparent time left before the purchase. For example, the negative consequences of not going to the dentist to deal with cavities could be framed as an imminent rather than a future concern in order to increase consumers' motivation to pursue preventative dental care.
For consumers, the research poses important questions on how they make decisions. Should they worry that their standards decline when time is running out? And if they have more time to decide, should they think about setting overambitious goals, and perhaps even ask themselves: "Would I really buy this if I had to make the decision tomorrow?"

Map of Beleriand and the Lands to the North
The Map of Beleriand and the Lands to the North, appearing in the The Silmarillion, depicts the region of Beleriand.
The map is a redrawing by Christopher Tolkien from J.R.R. Tolkien's "second 'Silmarillion' map", which was divided on four sheets and which was the last map of Beleriand that John Ronald made (the "original" maps, without alterations, were reproduced in The Lost Road).[1] However, Tolkien continued to add and change names or features on the map manuscripts; these were reproduced by Christopher in The War of the Jewels.[2]

Area B: Perspectives
What are the Principles behind Area "B" of the Core Curriculum?
The initial development of the Perspectives courses to fill Area B at VSU was motivated by the following goals:
To provide institutional definition in keeping with the University's mission statement that calls for a "scope of influence defined by the needs of a specific region of the state, and by particularly outstanding programs or distinctive characteristics that have a magnet effect even beyond the region."
- To provide collaborative teaching and learning experiences in keeping with the University's mission statement that calls for "a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary academic programming."
- To satisfy the principles of the University System of Georgia's Core Curriculum, which requires that each institution offer a significant, coherent, and cohesive general education component and that it foster "interdisciplinary learning" and global awareness.
- To demonstrate commitment to the University's General Education Outcomes by encouraging a connection between local issues and the demands of a global society.
- To provide intellectual reinvigoration and opportunities for creative collaboration.
- To provide a venue for courses that are characteristic of programs that fall outside traditional offerings.
Perspectives Courses: Student Information
At VSU, students are required to complete two PERS courses from two different Perspectives Areas.
1. Perspectives on Ethics and Values (PERS 2100s)
2. Perspectives on Tradition and Change (PERS 2200s)
3. Perspectives on Human Expression (PERS 2300s)
4. Perspectives on the Environment and Physical World (PERS 2400s)
5. Perspectives on Race and Gender (PERS 2500s)
6. Perspectives on Cross-Cultural Understanding and Expression (PERS 2600s)
7. Perspectives on the World of Work (PERS 2700s)

I just want to say a sincere thanks to everyone who submitted questions under "Q for Ray" subjects. I know some people are disappointed that we did not directly read questions and attribute them to those who wrote in, but we did read through a lot of them before the show. I think everyone who watched the show would agree that the conversation was plenty jam packed without breaking to read a canned question.
However, both Matt and I read through several dozen questions, took notes, and found themes which helped us to formulate what to say. Some of you probably recognized pieces of your questions surfacing in the dialog. So… it may not have seemed like we were paying attention to you, but we were. Thanks for your support and we appreciate you.

Germany's powerful Constitutional Court looks like it's having it both ways by criticizing the European Central Bank's bond-buying program but leaving the decision on its legality to the more European Union-friendly European Court of Justice. But the red-robed German jurists could still offer a sting.
The Karlsruhe-based court, often described as the most-respected government institution in Germany, found that the ECB href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304680904579368230722176484?KEYWORDS=constitutional">probably overstepped its bounds with the program, but kicked the legal ruling to the European Court of Justice, the European Union's top court.
The program, known as Outright Monetary Transactions, or OMT, was formulated weeks after ECB President Mario Draghi in July 2012 vowed to do "whatever it takes" within the bank's mandate to preserve the euro. The existence of the never-used program, which can be fired up to buy virtually unlimited quantities of government bonds under strict circumstances, is credited with pushing Europe's debt crisis to the back burner by allowing Spanish and Italian borrowing costs to climb down from potentially unsustainable levels.
The European Court of Justice is widely seen as siding with EU institutions when it comes to interpretations of EU law.
So in one move, the Karlsruhe-based court managed to uphold German probity, delivering a lecture of sorts to ECB President Mario Draghi on the perils of monetary financing of government debt while simultaneously avoiding the unpleasant task of calling into serious question a program credited with short-circuiting the debt crisis and clearing the way for a recovery.
The move "could either be a sign that the Court has reached its legal limits on European issues or that the issue is so tricky and touchy that it is better to pass it on. As regards the short-term outlook, the announcement should clearly reduce the Karlsruhe fear factor for the ECB. But not entirely. It is not a given that the European Court of Justice will only rubber-stamp the OMT program," said Carsten Brzeski, economist at ING Bank in Brussels.
Indeed, the euro betrayed jitters, dipping in the aftermath of the announcement.
The ruling doesn't fully remove the judicial risk, and not just for the reason Brzeski notes. Ratings agency Standard & Poor's said the decision has no immediate ratings impact, but noted that the German court could still revisit the issue after the European Court rules. In addition, the limbo created by the wait for a ruling from the European Court of Justice -- a decision that could take more than a year -- could stir doubts.
"Until a preliminary judgment from the [European Court of Justice] becomes available, political resistance to activating OMT, should it be required, is likely to have grown following today's strong and skeptical arguments by the [German Constitutional Court]," S&P said. "Differences between the two courts are likely to make a political consensus for activating OMT more difficult, both inside and outside the ECB."

Alumni chapter breaks gift drive record by serving 159 children
In November and December, the Beaver Valley Area Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association conducted its most successful children's holiday gift drive to date by gathering gifts for a record 159 children who are clients of Beaver County Children and Youth Services (CYS). Last year the group collected gifts for 129 children. This is the 19th consecutive year that the alumni chapter and CYS have partnered to solicit gifts from the community for children who might receive few or no gifts during the holidays. Project donors had two options: purchase and wrap a gift themselves to deliver to the CYS Committee or make a cash donation that enabled committee members to buy gifts. This year's cash donations totaled $975. Each donor was asked to purchase a gift or gifts valued at $25 to $30. For information about how to participate in next year's CYS Gift Drive, contact the Beaver campus Office of Campus and Community Relations at email@example.com or 724-773-3815.

'This year's Festival promises to be the best one yet,' stated Bruce Neckels, President of the Chamber and Chairman of the event for the third year. 'With The Beach Toys, a Beach Boys tribute band, as our headliner on the main stage, we hope the event will remind everyone of an endless summer, Southern California style.'
Starting things off on the main stage was The Cody Bryant Show, who greeted guests with toe-tapping, foot-stomping Country & Western music. Featured at the entrance stage was Alana Sweetwater and the Heavysteppers, a bluesy rock and roll band complete with tap dancers, and Makadoutious, the state champion hip hop dance squad comprised of students from North Hollywood, Grant, and Burbank high schools, and Walter Reed middle school.
'The Beach Toys perform all over the country and have a huge following,' said Neckels. "This is an homage to the great Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson and Al Jardine." The Beach Toys have recreated the sight, sound and mannerisms of this most recognizable band. From the striped shirts and Sansabelt slacks, to the suede "Beatle Boots" and wavy hair, right down to the definitive harmonies and groundbreaking lyrics about life in California. They play the same instruments and even wear the same aftershave.
'Be prepared to catch the hypnotic wave of true California music on the Fourth,' added Neckels. 'And to spice up the flavor of this era, the Southern California Woodies Club will also be on hand displaying over 30 vintage Woodies.
Besides the traditional Food Court, Pendragon's Magic Show, Children's Fun Zone, live music, and grand finale fireworks display, the Festival also included the Studio City Chamber of Commerce Business Expo. Chamber Members had the chance to market and promote their business.
Neckels, President of the Studio City Chamber of Commerce turned Stage 17 into a VIP Lounge. "It was such a tremendous success last year, we just had to do it again."
The VIP Package @ $100.00 per person included; Privileged parking, entry into the VIP Lounge, an ole-fashioned smokehouse BBQ picnic, wine-tasting, and the opportunity to dine and mingle with the stars. Join the stars at the rooftop-VIP-area viewing for the spectacular fireworks display. Only 400 VIP tickets were available and they went fast, so don't wait, purchase your tickets early!
Proceeds from this event benefit the Studio City Chamber of Commerce and Children of the Night. The SCCC sponsors other community events such as the Holiday Open House & Parade, monthly First Friday Club Breakfast's & Mixers, and this year for the first time, will reserve proceeds to benefit the SCCC College Scholarship Fund for underprivileged high-school graduates who excel in Business and Economics.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
University to Pay $210,000 to African Employee Called 'Monkey' and 'Gorilla' by Supervisor
NEW YORK – New York University, the largest private university in the United States and one of New York City's ten biggest employers, will pay $210,000 and furnish other relief to settle a race and national origin harassment and retaliation lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC had alleged that NYU violated federal law by subjecting an African-born employee to a hostile work environment that included degrading verbal harassment.
According to the EEOC's suit, the supervisor of the mailroom in NYU's Elmer Holmes Bobst Library regularly addressed the employee, a native of Ghana, with slurs such as "monkey" and "gorilla" and insults such as "go back to your cage" and "do you want a banana?" The supervisor also derided the employee's accented English as "gibberish," and expressed hostility toward immigrants, particularly Africans. NYU took months to investigate the employee's many complaints and then took virtually no corrective action, even after being alerted that the supervisor had retaliated against him, such as by fabricating grounds for discipline.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed its lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (10-CV-7399) (LTS) (JCF) in September 2010 after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
Under the settlement, which was entered by the court as a consent decree and will remain in place for three years, NYU will pay the employee $210,000 in lost wages and compensation for the emotional distress he experienced as a result of the unlawful conduct. It also will take several actions to prevent and address discrimination, harassment and retaliation, such as implementing university-wide enhanced policies and complaint procedures; designating an equal employment opportunity (EEO) coordinator to monitor NYU's compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws; conducting in-person, comprehensive EEO training sessions for employees, supervisors, and HR staff; and maintaining records, to be reviewed by the EEOC, of its responses to future employee complaints of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
"This suit shows that ugly harassment and retaliation can happen anywhere, even at a prestigious university," said Gillian L. Thomas, a trial attorney in the EEOC's New York District Office. "Under this settlement, the victim will be compensated for the mistreatment he suffered, and NYU will be required to do much better by its employees in the future."
Elizabeth Grossman, regional attorney of the EEOC New York District Office, added, "Harassment based on national origin and race is still all too common in today's workplace. EEOC will continue to aggressively expose and remedy such conduct, no matter where it occurs. No employer is above the law."
The EEOC is the federal government agency responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws in employment. Further information about the EEOC is available at www.eeoc.gov.

Although he graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's in anthropology, Shephard, who can be seen weekly as a Braverman sibling on NBC's acclaimed drama "Parenthood", pursued acting and after eight years of failed auditions, he finally booked his first paying gig as a prankster on MTV's "Punk'd" in 2003. He hasn't stopped working in both film and TV ever since, building a resume that includes cult fave "Idiocracy", ""Robot Chicken", "Baby Mama" and the upcoming "This Is Where I Leave You". Growing up outside the Motor City with parents who both worked in the auto industry, it was only natural that he'd develop a love of classic cars. He poured that love into writing and directing 2012's "Hit and Run", which features vintage wheels from his personal collection and his wife Kristen Bell as costars. Bell, who he met at a party in 2007 and married in October 2013, returned the favor and asked him to appear in the Veronica Mars" film. Their other co-production, daughter Lincoln, was born in March 2013.

April 21, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 30 Florida State men's tennis team started the day strong sweeping doubles and honoring their seniors before singles, but the Seminoles were unable to hold on to the match as No. 52 Virginia Tech (14-8) topped FSU (17-9) 4-3 on Sunday at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center.
"It was a pretty hard loss with the team losing on Senior Day," said head coach Dwayne Hultquist. "We did great in doubles, it was a good start to the day, but we just lost the momentum at the end of the first sets of singles."
Beginning in doubles, the Seminoles raced ahead on courts one and two to give the team an early lead. The No. 42 tandem of junior Blake Davis and sophomore Dominic Cotrone posted their second consecutive upset by defeating No. 22 Andreas Bjerrehus and Amerigo Contini 8-1 on court one.
On court two, the No. 58 duo of senior Andres Bucaro and sophomore Benjamin Lock won 8-4 over Hunter Koontz and Trpimir Kujundzic to clinch the point. On court three, seniors Anderson Reed and Jordan Kelly-Houston were down 3-5, but fought hard and came back to win 8-6 for the sweep.
After a break to recognize seniors Bucaro, Reed and Kelly-Houston, the teams returned to the courts for singles play. Virginia Tech fought back from losing doubles and managed to win four first sets to set up an upset.
"That was the key to the match," continued Hultquist. "We only won two of the first sets. Virginia Tech got the momentum. Michael (Rinaldi) did good fighting back to force a third set but Virginia Tech ended up playing stronger in the end."
Lock upset No. 98 Bjerrehus 6-0, 6-3 on court two to give Florida State a 2-0 advantage but No. 52 Contini defeated No. 95 Cotrone 6-2, 6-1 on court one to make the score 2-1. Sophomore Cristian Gonzalez Mendez gave Florida State the 3-1 lead with a 6-2, 6-1 win on court six over Aaron Gomez.
After that, the Hokies tied it up 3-3 with Koontz defeating Reed 6-1, 6-1 and Joao Monteiro topping Davis 6-3, 6-4. With the match tied, it came down to freshman Michael Rinaldi on court five.
Rinaldi lost the first set to Lucas Oliveira and as the only court left in play, he took control and won the second set to force a third set. They both held serve for the first two games until they went on to break one another for three straight games. With the match 5-3 in advantage of the Hokies, Rinaldi fought hard to hold his serve to make it 5-4. Rinaldi tried to break Oliveira but was unable as the Hokie won 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 to clinch the upset.
The Seminoles travel to Cary, N.C. for the ACC Championships next weekend. For more information, check back to Seminoles.com. You can also follow the team at Twitter.com/FSU_MTennis.

This is the longest stage of this year's Tour. However, with no classified climbs it will be far from the toughest as it heads eastwards towards the centre of France. Once again, the flat straight roads give every advantage to the sprinters' teams in the last chance before the terrain gets decidedly hillier tomorrow. Aspiring breakaway specialists may have other ideas though, and those who took it a bit easy in the time trial yesterday might fancy a tilt at this one.
This is the third Tour de France to feature the town of Cholet, and the second stage of this year's race as it hosted both the start and finish of yesterday's time trial.
Châteauroux has only hosted the Tour de France once before – in 1998 – when Mario Cipollini finally managed to open his account that year after a first week of crashes and bad luck. The route is slightly different – and a few kilometres longer – but the stage start and finish are the same as those ten years ago.
Apart from the Château Raoul, that gives the city its name, Châteauroux's big claim to fame is that it was the birthplace of French acting legend Gérard Depardieu.

Celebrity Quotes on Eating Disorders
Celebrity Women Get Real About Body Image Issues
Celebrity Women Get Real About Body Image Issues
She may have won two Golden Globes last weekend for her HBO series, Girls, but lately the most-talked about topic in regards to writer, filmmaker, and actress Lena Dunham has been her weight, not her talent. Radio host Howard Stern is in hot water for calling Lena a "little fat chick." And while Lena told David Letterman last week that the comments "put me in the best mood," the 26-year-old has been honest that she's had a love-hate relationship with her body, despite displaying it so freely on her show. She told New York Magazine:
"It's a very specific body. Even great reviews will be like: chubby, portly, overweight. . . . Sometimes I'm like, 'Ugh, how did I make myself the guinea pig for this?' But on the other hand, hating my body has not been my cross to bear in this life. Which I feel very lucky about."
Several famous women have opened up about their struggles with body image and eating disorders. Katie Couric revealed on her talk show that she struggled with bulimia when interviewing another famous lady who's dealt with eating disorders, Demi Lovato. And Lady Gaga, who has faced criticism about her weight gain, launched a movement called A Body Revolution to encourage body acceptance. She said she started it to "inspire bravery," adding, "Be brave and celebrate with us your 'perceived flaws,' as society tells us. May we make our flaws famous, and thus redefine the heinous."
Many celebrity women have courageously talked about what they don't like about their bodies, their past eating disorder issues, and how they've overcome a negative body image. Let's be inspired to accept our bodies just how they are with these encouraging words now!

Having an
ectopic pregnancy may affect your future fertility, and it increases your risk of having another ectopic pregnancy. When an ectopic pregnancy grows in a
fallopian tube, it can damage the surrounding tubal
tissue. This may make it more likely that an egg will get stuck there in the future. But early detection and treatment can minimize the damaging effects of
an ectopic pregnancy.
Your chances of having another ectopic pregnancy will be affected by your own combination of risk factors (things that increase your risk). These can include smoking, use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) to get pregnant, and how much fallopian tube damage you have.
Your future fertility and chances of having a successful pregnancy in the future will also depend on:
Early detection is the key to avoiding new tube damage.
As long as you have one healthy fallopian tube, salpingostomy
(small tubal slit) and salpingectomy (part of tube removed) have about the same
effect on your future fertility. But if your other tube is damaged, your doctor
may try to do a salpingostomy. This may improve your chances of getting
pregnant in the future.
If you become pregnant and are at high risk for ectopic pregnancy, you will be closely watched. Doctors
do not always agree about which risk factors are serious enough to watch
closely. But research suggests that risk is serious enough if you have had a
tubal surgery or an ectopic pregnancy before, were exposed to the chemical
DES (diethylstilbestrol) before birth, have known
fallopian tube problems, or have a pregnancy with an
intrauterine device (IUD) in place.

ArQule and Daiichi Sankyo Announce Discontinuation of Phase 3 MARQUEE Clinical Trial in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
DMC Recommends Discontinuation of Study for Futility
No Unexpected Safety Findings from Interim Analysis
MARQUEE is a randomized, double-blind, controlled pivotal trial to evaluate the investigational selective MET inhibitor, tivantinib (ARQ 197), in combination with erlotinib in previously treated patients with locally advanced or metastatic, non-squamous NSCLC.
"We are disappointed that the MARQUEE trial did not provide
statistically significant results for overall survival in a disease and
treatment setting which remains a major unmet medical need," said
"Fighting cancer is a complex process in that therapies work differently
in different tumor settings, so we will continue to investigate
tivantinib in other tumor types," said
Approximately 1,000 patients were recruited in MARQUEE from more than 200 clinical sites worldwide. The primary endpoint in the trial is overall survival (OS) in the overall intent-to-treat population. Secondary endpoints include OS in the subpopulation of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type, progression-free survival (PFS) in the ITT population, and further assessment of the safety of tivantinib in combination with erlotinib. Tivantinib has not been approved for any indication in any country.
