Nope. If it builds on Windows and not on Linux the first thing I'd look for is case sensitivity issues. But it's still looking in the wrong place, and the fact that it wants something out of /home/continuum/apache-continuum-1.3.6/data/working-directory/myProject... (without a numbered directory under 'working-directory') still makes me think that you are using relative paths somewhere.

Most baseball fans pay little attention to holding runners on base: as long as a pitcher throws the ball well to home plate, it barely matters whether he can also throw to first effectively. But the impact of runner-holding is far greater than commonly believed, and ignoring or minimizing it is perhaps the biggest weakness in the current evaluation and projection of starting pitchers. This presentation will demonstrate why this skill matters so much, analyze what the best pitchers do to keep runners close, and explain how both major league teams and fantasy players can use it to their advantage.

I passed a minivan, packed to the roof with bike parts plus a trailer full of bikes, from the Netherlands today that was apparently (at least according to the writing on the trailer) on it's way to Beijing for the Olympics.
Everything else aside, that's a seriously long drive.
Also, I'd be much happier if my official two years at the clinic would be over now and not in two months, because all the vet schools offering residencies in anaesthesia put up their announcements now with closing dates for the end of April and while having to wait for a whole year because of this month is not the end of the world, it's still a bit annoying.

Ira Steven Behr recalled Danus thusly: "So then I go to a guy I don't even know, this guy Richard Danus, who is literally a dead man walking. The first thing he says to me is, 'I'm on a ten week contract; they're not picking up my contract; I'm gone in like two weeks. I've never met Rick Berman, I've never met Gene Roddenberry, don't talk to me, I'm dead'." [1]

There are now two credible claims of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and Republicans are standing by their man.
This is not surprising, since standing by men is what Republicans do.
Look no further than their President, Donald Trump, who was welcomed by GOP leaders despite the Access Hollywood tape and the ensuing 19 credible accusations of groping, grabbing and sexual assault.
Now, Trump's hand-picked nominee has been accused of the attempted rape of a high school contemporary, Christine Blasey Ford. And on Sunday, the New Yorker published allegations that Kavanaugh exposed himself and forced unwanted touching of his genitals on a college classmate, Deborah Ramirez. Meanwhile, Kavanaugh and the White House have denied the allegations, with the latter also questioning the validity of both women's stories. According to the New Yorker, senior Republican staffers knew of the second accusation when they initially moved to proceed with a committee vote on his confirmation early this week, a plan which has since been dropped to allow for Thursday's hearing.
Women have noticed that the GOP doesn't believe women (aka doesn't believe in "ruining men's lives," right Lindsey Graham?), and have responded with an outpouring across social media of their stories of being sexually assaulted, raped, shamed, intimidated and disbelieved. The hashtag is #WhyIDidntReport and the impetus was a tweet from Donald Trump which said: "I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents."
And after a week of being gaslit and gropesplained by Republicans like Chuck "65 signatures" Grassley and Orrin "This woman may be mixed up" Hatch and Ed "like Carrie Mathison but for terrible and very possibly defamatory theories" Whelan, it was the Gropesplainer in Chief who sent women over the edge, and lo, the dam burst.
#WhyIDidntReport flooded Twitter, in story after story, from women -- and men -- with all the reasons they stayed silent about their sexual assaults (and in many cases, with the repercussions they faced when they did). Tweet upon tweet spotlighted the cravenness of Trump's casual, fact-free assertion with first-person testimony packed with all the many reasons they themselves knew better.
(Men: you may recognize this feeling from ever having started a sentence with "Well, actually...").
I know better, because I am one. But this isn't about me, nor is it about my friend Jill (not her real name) or my other friend Tori (not her real name) or my friend Jessica (actually her real name, because she published this list of assaults by men in her lifetime that has since gone viral). It's not about this open letter to Senators from my friend Alison which has 272 signatories including this anonymous one: "Just turned 13, he was 18." It's not even about how I can't open Facebook now without reading another wrenching account of an unreported rape, or one that was dutifully reported, but nothing actually happened. This is about how again, in 2018, the default assumption for the GOP is not to believe a woman when she says she's been sexually assaulted.
And by the way, saying "believe women" does not mean saying "automatically convict a man of sexual assault beyond a reasonable doubt." That's the standard of a criminal trial, involving the presentation of evidence on both sides. In this case, "believe women" just means taking the claim seriously. "Believe women" means not reflexively disbelieving them because you're eager for a vote and an investigation would be inconvenient.
"Believe women" means acknowledging how shockingly, terribly normal it is for women and men to be sexually assaulted, and how shockingly, terribly normal it is for men to be the ones sexually assaulting them.
This isn't a debate. I am aware that not all men are rapists, and thank you to those eager to point it out. I am aware that women can be assailants, you're quite right -- I, too, can Google, and have. You can find a wealth of relevant statistics here and here.
This right here, right now is about men. Men sexually assaulting women, and men normalizing sexual assault. It may be the strategy of the White House and patriarchy to deny, deny, deny, but #WhyIDidntReport is undeniable. Yes, there is a problem, and yes, it is men.
And yes, this sounds familiar. Remember #YesAllWomen, the viral hashtag that sprang up after Eliot Rodger killed six people in California because he was angry he hadn't had sex? Women from everywhere came forward to talk about being assaulted and living with the threat of physical violence from men as an everyday given. (To quote Margaret Atwood, "Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them." Hey wait, what else did she write?) It was in response to #YesAllWomen that #NotAllMen sprang up, a retort that said, "Well actually, let me just interrupt you talking about your systemic gender-based trauma to center the narrative around me."
But then there was #NotOkay, the hashtag that erupted in the wake of the Access Hollywood tape showcasing then-candidate Donald Trump talking about grabbing women "by the p****" and kissing any attractive woman he liked because "when you're a star, they let you do it." That hashtag, created by writer and comedian Kelly Oxford, invited women to share their stories about sexual harassment and violation punctuated each time with the assertion that -- guess what -- it's #NotOkay.
(Memo to Trump: It's still not, and it never was.)
And then, of course, we all know about #MeToo, which was women reacting to the monstrous revelations about Harvey Weinstein's sexual assaults and predations by literally saying "me, too."
And still we hear the fretting: Oh, no wait -- is all of this fair to men?
It's a funny thing about that word "fair." According to Merriam Webster it's supposed to mean "marked by impartiality and honesty : free from self-interest, prejudice, or favoritism." But it keeps being defined as, "This guy deserves a TV show, or his CBS stock options, or a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court" and not "Hey, we should probably hear all the evidence from this woman who says this thing happened to her." Women know the difference, and they know that "fair" shouldn't just be another word for "Would you like a promotion with your privilege, sir?" They know "fair" doesn't mean "what were you wearing" or "why didn't you tell sooner" or "well gee, if Mark Judge says it didn't happen then it must not have happened." (Actually "fair" would mean bringing Mark Judge in for questioning because in Professor Blasey Ford's version, he's an assailant or at least an accessory. And see, who says I'm not being fair to Brett Kavanaugh?)
Well actually... Donald Trump says so. (I know, get your smelling salts.) In dismissing the allegations as "political" today, he opined that, "There's a chance that this could be one of the single most unfair, unjust things to happen to a candidate for anything." Leaving aside, say, Merrick Garland, this statement is exactly what you get when you think fairness and justice apply only to men.
What is fair is to recognize the torrent of horrifying #WhyIDidntReport stories as an epidemic and say, ENOUGH. Enough dismissing women in order to promote men, and enough of making them relive their traumas, again and again so maybe -- just maybe -- you'll consider believing them.
Memo to the GOP: "Believe women" means treating their stories seriously on the way to seeking the truth. But alas, for that to happen, truth would have to be a goal.

This is great news. President Trump beat Booker in a landslide. Far-left candidates like Cory Booker do not appeal to the majority of Democrats and independents.
They may gain traction in very liberal areas, but their message doesn't resonate with most people. It won't play well on a national level.
If the Democrats want to beat President Trump and win the presidency in 2020, they need to push a moderate candidate.
If You Had Any Doubt Why Cory Booker Was Grandstanding, He Just Placed Staff In Iowa For 2020 https://t.co/15vsSiLjEe via @weaselzippers

Trending: A Message for Obama – "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil."
According to multiple sources, Cory Booker has placed four staffers on the ground in Iowa, helping Democratic candidates, as he moves to position himself for a potential presidential bid.
The New Jersey senator has long been mooted as a presidential possibility in 2020. This week he raised his national profile by daring Senate Republicans to bring ethics charges against him for releasing documents related to the supreme court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.
He announced on Saturday that he will speak at the Iowa Democratic party's annual gala, a key event for activists in the first state to hold presidential nominating contests.
Among the candidates whom Booker is aiding are Rob Sand, a former state assistant attorney general recently profiled in the New York Times, and Deirdre DeJear, who would be the first woman of color elected to statewide office in Iowa. More
Will Trump's nickname for Booker be T-Bone or Spartacus? Either way it'll be hilarious! Booker will, of course, claim racism.
Geeeee, I'm … ho-hummmm … Shocked ????

Facts and Figures
Moscow is the capital of Russia. This is an ancient city that dates as far back as 1147, though archeologists believe that the area was first inhabited during the 7th century B.C. Moscow covers about 255,000 ha, while its population is over 12 million people. The capital is subdivided into 12 administrative divisions and 146 districts.
Moscow's tourist "gates" are its 4 international airports, 9 railway stations and 2 river ports. Getting around town is easy, convenient and fast due to the Aeroexpress shuttle connecting the airports with the city center and Moscow train stations that are generally close to its center.
The capital of Russia is situated on the Moscow River bank. Green areas such as gardens, parks, mini-parks, manors, wildlife reserves, etc., account for a third of the city's area, all of them boasting recreational and sports facilities.
The Moscow City Department for the Physical Culture and Sport has established the Moscow Tourist Call-Center to provide up-to-date information on the city tourist resources and options, the city transport infrastructure, and to ensure the prompt consulting assistance in case of emergencies.
the call-center provides consulting services in Russian, English, German, French and Chinese. The service is provided using the following phone numbers: 8 (800) 302-31-12 and 8 (800) 350-51-12, which are free of charge for Russian and foreign tourists from the phones of all Russian mobile operators, as well as from stationary phones located in the Russian Federation. 8 (495) 587-71-12, which is used for receiving incoming calls from abroad, as well as from foreign mobile operator numbers used by the foreign tourists in Moscow using international roaming. Payments are made in accordance with operators' rates.
Tourist Sights
There are over 300 museums and exhibition halls, 237 theaters, over 120 movie theaters, more than 120 natural parks, 118 natural conservation areas and 64 landmarks that represent palace architecture and landscape gardening art.

Hadley Freeman, feminism and intersectionality
Hadley Freeman on Sheryl Sandberg, feminism and intersectionality (from today's Guardian)
The above is an article by Hadley Freeman, who is one of the Guardian's fashion columnists who also writes increasingly about feminist issues in her other column, about the responses to a book by one Sheryl Sandberg, a former US Treasury chief of staff who has also worked at Google and now works at Facebook, titled "Lean In", which she describes as a "sort-of feminist manifesto". I haven't heard of her before and haven't seen or read the book, but what interests me is Hadley Freeman's take on "intersectionality", the notion that people may be disadvantaged in multiple or different ways rather than simply by virtue of their sex:
The tendency to dismiss a woman discussing feminism because of her background is not a new development. Intersectionality in feminism – which argues that any feminist theory that does not take into account the different levels of oppression experienced by minority groups, such as women of colour and gay women – has been around since the 1980s and is, to a large extent, beneficial. Second-wave feminism in its early incarnation was notoriously bad at looking beyond the white middle classes and clearly greater representation is a positive development. But there comes a point when a well-intentioned move for greater inclusivity becomes an excuse for bullying exclusivity and a way for women to shut one another up. When Donald Trump writes a book about how to get ahead in business – which ultimately is what Sandberg's book is about, but with a female emphasis – men don't write articles claiming he is being elitist (they might write articles claiming he is an idiot, but that is another story.) No, Trump is not attempting to speak for all men in his book but neither is Sandberg attempting to speak for all women.
This makes it sound as if intersectionality only applied to women who also have other sources of potential disadvantage, such as being disabled, from an ethnic or religious minority, or gay. In fact, it means that someone may be affected by one or other of these factors, and possibly be more disadvantaged than the average woman for whom race or disability is not an issue. Mainstream feminism has long been concerned with two particular issues — the economic advancement of women, and violence against women — and both of these are important, but if you turn up at the local feminist association to find them only talking about these things, and they meet in the basement of the local Costa so your disabled sister cannot attend, and therefore cannot discuss the barriers to her advancement … or maybe you'll find that they don't have much to say about the difficulty of finding suitable care or education for your disabled adult son or daughter (or you), or healthcare for your chronically ill son or daughter (or you) which doesn't come with cruelty or assumptions of fakery, or about the discrimination your mixed-race son or daughter has suffered at school or their harassment by the police. In which case, the local feminist association might not have much to say that is relevant, even if you are a woman and even if you can get to the meetings.
A few months ago I responded to a ridiculous article by Cathy "Bug" Brennan, an American radical lesbian feminist, which reduced the murder of Trayvon Martin in Florida to a matter of "male violence". Never mind the fact that it was about race, and racial oppression and violence in western societies is something white women have a great deal of responsibility for, particularly in the USA (not the greater part, but still, a great deal). Her type of feminism only sees male oppression of women, and has very little to say about race or disability. This type of feminism does not seek the participation of men in any case, but is highly alienating not only to them and particularly male survivors of abuse, of which there are plenty (regardless of the sex of the abusers), but also to women whose family members are affected by these issues, whichever their sex. It has little relevance to straight women or those who have no intention of cutting men (or "Nigels") out of their lives or blaming them for everything, or de-feminising themselves.
Applied to feminism, intersectionality makes it accessible and relevant to women outside the mainstream; it is not about competition about who is most oppressed or bragging rights for the stereotypical "blind, one-legged black lesbian" (and "female" doesn't have to be in the list). But it doesn't just affect feminism, but all social movements, whether they be about race, religion, disability, the rights and welfare of children or anything else. It's about making sure everybody concerned is included and considered and minimising the likelihood of toe-treading or offence.

In this video, we visited the false Church of the Latter Day Saints otherwise known as the Mormon Church at Murray, Ky to spread the gospel. Mormonism is not Christian and all Mormons unless they repent and believe the gospel will perish in hell for eternity. See this link for a biblical breakdown of why Mormonism is not Christian with the holy scriptures - http://carm.org/is-mormonism-christian
We were tipped off about this church because they had missionaries spreading a false gospel on the campus of Murray State University. They have a blog which has since been blocked after I commented and confronted them about spreading a false gospel.

Expert CritiqueFROM THE AGA Reading Room
Most patients are diagnosed with nonresectable disease. The treatment options for these patients tend to be palliative, not curative, and are meant to preserve quality of life. Patients with resectable disease (~10%) undergo potentially curative surgery. Unfortunately, among those patients who do undergo curative surgery, recurrence rates are high. The 5-year survival rate when considering all patients is estimated at 5-15%, with a median overall survival of ~12 months.
The poor prognosis and high relapse rates of BTCs highlight the need to optimize adjuvant strategies. Cisplatin/gemcitabine combination chemotherapy is the first-line treatment regimen. Gemcitabine, a nucleotide analogue that inhibits the synthesis of DNA, was found to be active against advanced pancreatic cancer and has been extensively evaluated in patients with metastatic BTCs. Cisplatin is a well-known chemotherapeutic drug that crosslinks with the purine bases on DNA. By cross-linking purine bases, cisplatin interferes with DNA repair mechanisms, resulting in DNA damage and cancer cell apoptosis. Addition of a nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab) paclitaxel to the standard combination of gemcitabine-cisplatin appears promising.
Paclitaxel has an unusual chemical structure and a unique mechanism of action. Paclitaxel is a complex diterpene; in vitro paclitaxel enhances the polymerization of tubulin to stable microtubules. Paclitaxel-induced microtubule cytoskeleton reorganization causes mitotic arrest, which leads to cell death. Addition of paclitaxel to the standard cisplatin/gemcitabine regimen in the cited study increased the median progression-free survival of BTC patients. These studies suggest that using drugs with unique targets and mechanisms of action may provide an added benefit to BTC patients.
BTCs share a common spectrum of mutations in cancer-related genes, including activation of Kras and loss of function of tumor-suppressor genes. Activating missense BRAF mutations are also present in some BTCs. Treatment of BTCs harboring BRAF mutations with dabrafenib, a BRAF kinase inhibitor, and trametinib, an inhibitor of MEK activity (a downstream target of BRAF), showed encouraging efficacy and acceptable safety.
Collectively, these studies point to the potential role of genetic identification in developing a targeted therapy for BTCs.
Although uncommon, biliary tract cancers (BTCs), including cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer, are resistant to chemotherapy and have a notoriously poor prognosis. A minority of the 6,000 new U.S. cases a year present with resectable disease, and relapse rates are high. New treatment options are desperately needed to combat these stubborn malignancies.
Triple Chemotherapy
Recent research has suggested that adding nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab) paclitaxel to the standard combination of gemcitabine-cisplatin may prolong survival in this problematic disease. This was the promising conclusion of a recent open-label phase II study published in JAMA Oncology.
The trial of 60 advanced BTC patients by Rachna Shroff, MD, of the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson, and colleagues found that use of the triple therapy resulted in a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 11.8 months (95% confidence interval, 6.0-15.6) and median overall survival (OS) of 19.2 months (95% CI 13.2 months to not estimable) in an intention-to-treat analysis. In historical controls, the median PFS was just 8 months and the median OS was 11.7 months. The partial response rate was 45%, and the disease control rate was 84%.
"These tumors are similar to pancreatic cancers in that they have a very dense stroma with inflammatory cells and fibroblasts that act as a protective barrier and make them hard to penetrate," lead author Rachna Shroff, MD, of the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson, told the Reading Room. Since paclitaxel was effective in pancreatic cancers, the thought was that it might also be helpful for BTCs compared with standard therapy and result in improved response and survival rates, the team said.
The mean age of patients in the study was 58.4; 63% had intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and 78% had metastatic disease. Patients were started on gemcitabine at 1,000 mg/m2, cisplatin at 25 mg/m2, and nab-paclitaxel at 125 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles. Hematologic adverse events prompted dose reductions of the three agents to 800, 25, and 100 mg/m2, respectively.
Grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred in 58% of patients, with neutropenia the most common, and 16% of patients withdrew due to treatment-related side effects.
Shroff said that a phase III randomized trial of a projected 268 patients drawn from all U.S. cancer trial networks is now underway, with the first patient enrolling in Feb. 2019 and an additional 21 enrolled since then. The trial is expected to be completed in 2 to 3 years, with interim readouts on utility and tolerability along the way. She said that based on the phase I results, the team is optimistic about the new trial, adding, however: "This is basically a three-drug regimen, so we want to make sure patients can tolerate this and that if we do add a third drug, they have clinically meaningful improvement without safety issues."
Targeting BRAF V600E and MEK
With activating BRAF V600E mutations reported in about 5% of patients with BTCs, U.S. researchers participated in the phase II open-label ROAR study, an international basket trial of nine rare malignancies, including glioma and hairy cell leukemia. The trial assessed the efficacy and safety of dabrafenib and trametinib in patients with BRAF V600E-mutated BTC. This inhibitory combination showed encouraging efficacy and acceptable safety, and the identification of several genetic mutations in BTCs suggests the possibility of targeted therapy.
The double-therapy study, reported at the 2019 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, enrolled 35 BTC patients during 2014 to 2018. After a median follow-up of 8 months, 33 of the evaluated patients had a partial response rate by investigator assessment of 42% (95% CI 24-59), and 36% by independent review.
Seven patients had a response lasting at least 6 months. Median PFS was 9.2 months (95% CI 5.4-10.1), and median OS was 11.7 months (95% CI 7.5-17.7). In general, median PFS in second-line BTC is less than 5 months, the authors noted. Stable disease was observed in 45% and 39% of patients in the two assessments, respectively, and 12% had progressive disease according to both.
"These results were better than we expected," co-investigator Zev A. Wainberg, MD, of UCLA, told the Reading Room, adding that most BTC patients present with advanced disease, and the 5-year survival rate is approximately 15%.
The median age of patients in the study was about 58, and 91% had BRAF V600E mutations. A total of 74% of the cohort had BTCs -- 17% with hepatocholangiocarcinoma and 9% with cholangiocarcinoma -- and 74% had stage IV disease. All participants had received previous chemotherapy, with 80% having at least two lines. The median duration of treatment exposure was 6 months, and 86% of patients were treated for more than 3 months.
The protocol included dabrafenib at 150 mg twice daily and trametinib at 2 mg daily until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or death. Dabrafenib blocks the BRAF protein, while trametinib inhibits MEK, a kinase in the same signaling pathway as BRAF. A grade 3 or 4 adverse event was reported in 57% of patients.
Combined BRAF+MEK inhibition has been effective in BRAF V600-mutated anaplastic thyroid cancer, melanoma, and lung cancer, but less so in BRAF V600E-mutated colorectal cancer, the authors noted. In addition, biomarker analyses in the cohort revealed a "heterogeneous genetic landscape" with a low tumor mutational burden and a higher baseline expression of MAPK pathway genes in patients not responding to the double therapy.
Such routine testing may open the door to targeted therapy, said Wainberg, noting that he foresees the formation of larger collaborations to increase the number of patients. "I think these data speak for themselves. The biggest challenge is that this is a rare group of patients and it's hard to study them. But the data are compelling enough that we think every patient should be tested for BRAF mutation and if a candidate should be considered for BRAF+MEK inhibition."
Preventing Recurrence
In other recent research, investigators from Gangnam Severance Hospital at Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul, Korea, reported findings about the risk factors for locoregional recurrence after resection for distal bile duct cancer. The study investigated which patients might most benefit from postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy, whose place in treating this population remains unestablished.
For the study, conducted from 2001 to 2013, the researchers followed 93 patients treated at the hospital (median age of 67) for a median of 46 months after surgical resection without adjuvant radiotherapy. Metastatic lymph nodes were found in 3.8% of patients; the 3-year locoregional failure-free survival rate was 50.7%, and overall survival was 53.2%.
During follow-up, 60.2% of patients overall had a recurrence, mostly locoregional, and the liver was the most common site of primary metastatic recurrence.
Significant prognostic factors of locoregional failure-free survival included preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen level, resection margin, histologic grade, and T and N stages.
The initial locoregional recurrence rate was 53.8%, and recurrence was more frequent in patients with preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels above 37 U/mL, a positive resection margin, T3 stage, and positive lymph nodes. Initial locoregional recurrence was observed in 85.7% and 78.4% of patients with positive resection margins and lymph nodes, respectively.
The researchers said that based on these findings, they recommended adjuvant radiotherapy for patients with positive margins and lymph nodes. "Because of these results, we now do concurrent chemoradiation therapy in all margin-positive and other high-risk patients at our center," co-author Joon Seong Park, MD, PhD, told the Reading Room. "Many GI oncologists are still debating the use of adjuvant radiotherapy, but I think it has an important role now in treating high-risk patients."
Park and his associates called for well-designed randomized controlled trials to clarify the role of adjuvant radiotherapy.
Asked for his perspective, Kevin Stephans, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center, said that determination of the appropriate adjuvant therapy regimen for patients with resected extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma remains challenging. He noted that while retrospective reviews have supported both chemotherapy and radiation, a meta-analysis suggested benefit from either chemotherapy alone or chemoradiation, with risk reduction the greatest for chemotherapy alone, and no evidence of benefit for radiation alone.
"At the same time, radiation techniques have evolved significantly over time, and prior data are difficult to interpret given the relative rarity of this disease along with significant heterogeneity in presentation by location of tumor, surgical techniques, and management paradigms across different centers," Stephans continued.
He noted that the prospective SWOG S0809 study demonstrated excellent tolerance and favorable recurrence outcomes for adjuvant capecitabine and gemcitabine followed by concurrent capecitabine and radiation. Patients with positive margins or positive lymph nodes have typically been identified as those most likely to benefit from adjuvant radiation following chemotherapy.
Stephans said that although Park and colleagues addressed an important question as to which patients are at highest risk of local recurrence, the study lacked a control group of radiated patients, and the effect of radiation on locoregional recurrence in these risk groups remains unknown. The study lends support to considering radiation for those with positive margins or nodes and other risk factors, but "in the absence of larger pooled or randomized data with an adequate control group this decision must remain individualized to the patient, the tolerance of prior therapy, and the threshold for undergoing further treatment with potential but as of yet unverified benefit," he concluded.

Pakistan's military establishment, which orchestrates proxy wars waged by Islamist terror groups in the country's neighbourhood, would be happy that the Pulwama attack on CRPF convoy in Kashmir — the deadliest terror attack ever on Indian security forces — on February 14 has sent its message to India and the US.
The message to Delhi is that whatever compromises on the client terror groups it would make in the ongoing the peace process in Afghanistan under heavy US and Saudi pressure, they do not mean any change in its stance of using such groups as a policy tool in Kashmir. The message to Washington is that the Americans should factor in the cost of escalated state-sponsored terrorist attacks in Kashmir if they want Pakistan's cooperation that would help the US cut a face-saving deal with the Taliban and withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
It is ludicrous that Pakistan has brought up the idea of 'investigation' to establish its complicity in the Pulwama attack claimed by a terrorist group sheltered by it. After India said there is incontrovertible evidence of Pakistan having a direct hand in the attack, Pakistan said it rejects "any insinuation… to link the attack to Pakistan without investigations." Yet again, the same subterfuge of evidence and investigation Pakistan has been shamelessly using since the 2008 Mumbai attack by Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Jaish-e-Mohammad, or the Army of Mohammad, which claimed the February 14 attack, represents the group of rabid Islamist terrorist thugs that operates freely in Pakistan. Masood Azhar, a globally recognized terrorist, continues to be a free man to lead the group that he founded in 2000, months after he was released from an Indian jail in return for the release hostages of an Indian civilian passenger plane hijacked to the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in December 1999. In the past few years, Jaish-e-Mohammad has replaced Lashkar-i-Taiba as the group preferred by Pakistan to wage state-sponsored terrorism in Kashmir.
After the Pulwama, India has vowed a befitting reply to Pakistan. It wants to diplomatically isolate Pakistan and economically, it taken the step to withdraw the most favoured nation trade status to Islamabad.
All attention is on the military response. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the armed forces have been given complete freedom to respond, and another surgical strike across the Line of Control is anticipated. The surgical attack conducted by the Indian Army in September 2016, in quick response to Jaish-e-Mohammad attack on Uri army base, was limited in time and choice of targets.
As the clamour for a severe retaliation grows strong just ahead of the Lok Sabha election, the compulsion to give an even stronger response makes the military option fraught. The Trump administration has called on Pakistan to "end immediately the support and safe haven provided to all terrorist groups operating on its soil", but the US would almost certainly oppose any broad and sustained Indian military strikes across the LoC because not only they risk a wider conflict but also they might upset its peace gamble in Afghanistan.
India's sharp attention ought to be on the diplomatic front, rather than military — convincing mainly the US and Saudi Arabia, and seek guarantees from them, that whatever Pakistan, the country with a permanent begging bowl, does under their pressure to help bring a semblance of peace in Afghanistan does not come with a price tag of an accelerated proxy war against India.

Information about us:
Registered UK Office:
5A, 80 High
Street, Egham, Surrey, TW20 9HE, UK
Founders: Anne and Arthur Finch
We are an English registered charity founded by Anne and Arthur Finch, concerned with the plight of greyhounds everywhere, and especially in Spain, where most of our work is done.
Since starting this work in 1991 we have rescued and found homes for several thousand dogs with the help of many Spanish volunteers who carry out primary rescue work, and the homing groups and individuals in Europe who, in sympathy with our work, are promoting adoption in their own countries.
Greyhounds and galgos (Spanish-bred hunting greyhounds) make excellent family pets, and, contrary to popular opinion, their requirements for exercise are moderate and many can live happily with cats.
GIN is the leading greyhound rescue charity working in Spain and has unique knowledge of conditions there, and has permanent need of donations to enable the rescue work in Spain to be continued and expanded.
is a member of the Greyhound Forum, chaired by the Dogs' Trust and comprised,
amongst others, of representatives of the major animal welfare groups such as
the R.S.P.C.A., I.S.P.C.A., Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, Blue Cross, as well as
members of The British Greyhound Racing Board and National Greyhound Racing

64-year-old Pierce Brosnan is an Irish actor. He is also a film producer and activist. Pierce Brosnan is the native of Ireland and also has an American citizenship. In 2001, Pierce was voted "Sexiest Man Alive" by People Magazine.
The Hollywood hunk has been married twice and has been in numerous relationships. His first wife was Cassandra Harris, who is no more. She died in 1991 due to ovarian cancer. Currently, he is married to Keely Shaye Smith, who is an American journalist. They got married in 2001 and have two sons together.
The former James Bond superstar has an extraordinary lifestyle. He is beloved by media. His every move is under watch and on record. Let's find out more about his personal life, his married life, affairs, and children.
The honorary Officer of the Order of the British Empire was once married to Australian actress Cassandra Harris. The two were introduced by actress' stepson David Harris, and one of Richard Harris' nephews in 1977. Following their meeting, they began dating.
Brosnan and Harris got married on 27 December 1980. Pierce has a son named Sean with Harris, who is now 35 years old. In 1991, Brosnan became a widower. The cause of death of late Harris was ovarian cancer. The same was the reason for her daughter Charlotte's death.

In 1986, Brosnan adopted Harris's children Charlotte and Christopher after the death of their father Dermot Harris.
After the heart-breaking period, Pierce was determined that he won't get married again. But he found love in 54-year-old Keely Shaye Smith. Pierce met the TV correspondent during an interview in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in 1994. Soon afterward the couple started dating.

Pierce and Smith tied the knot in 2001 at Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland. Smith looked gorgeous in the all-white wedding gown and Pierce wore the black tuxedo on the wedding day. The pair had welcomed their first child Dylan even before their marriage, in January 1997. Their second son Paris was born in February 2001.
The death of late wife Cassandra resulted in Brosnan to be heartbroken. Though the moment was tragic, Pierce carved out his way to the top in Hollywood as Cassandra had wished.
Pierce has romanced several beautiful ladies on-screen and off-screen as well. In 1993, Pierce had a brief relationship with Memories... Then and Now actress Kathryn Kinley.

Pierce was also romantically linked with Tatjana Patitz, Julianne Phillips, Barbara Orbison, Brenda K. Starr and Denice D. Lewis. Most of his affairs were short-lived until he had met Keely Shaye Smith.
The happily married couple have been together for 24-years, and there are no rumors of them being in long-term arguments. Hope the love they have for each other will continue to grow.

For years, we have recommended that everyone do a skin check on themselves once per month to get used to the way things look. In that way, a change is more likely to be noticed. We ask our patients to look for a change in size, shape, texture, color-anything that seems different. In Dermatology literature, we look for the A,B,C,D,E's.
A-asymmetry. Moles tend to look the same from all directions. If portions jut out in different directions, it can be meaningful.
B-border. Edges of a mole tend to have a sharp definition from the mole to the normal skin. If the border blends into the surrounding skin, or has a scalloped edge, that can be significant.
C-color. Moles tend to have an even color throughout. If a mole changes color, for example, if it gets darker in a portion, that can be significant. It can also be significant if a mole loses color or takes on a pinkish or reddish color,
D-diameter. Most moles are the size of a pencil eraser or smaller. In some people, it is normal for them to have larger moles.
E-evolving. Refers to the sudden or gradual change in a mole.

Measurements from ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission show that ice has thinned significantly in the seasonal ice zones, with extensive areas less than half a metre thick.
Sea ice has a large influence on the heat exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere. The heat flux can change depending on the sea-ice thickness and the air temperature. Sea ice is also affecting atmospheric circulation at mid-latitudes.
Although not originally designed for looking at ice, the SMOS satellite's data are being evaluated to monitor Arctic sea ice.

MLB trade rumors: Yankees said no to Brandon Phillips for Brett Gardner
Brandon Phillips to the Yankees for Brett Gardner. Makes sense. The Reds are looking to deal Phillips, the Yanks need a second baseman, and New York has an outfielder (Gardner) who can fill a need in Cincy.
MORE: Yankees interested in Johan Santana
Well, it might make sense to us, but not to the Yankees.
#yankees turned down a brandon phillips for brett gardner offer. #reds
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) December 12, 2013
Some of the reasons:
NL source: before yanks turned down phillips-for-gardner bid, phillips asked to re-open his contract (add $) to agree to deal
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) December 12, 2013
Sources: #Reds' Phillips has no-trade to #Yankees. Might have wanted $$$ to approve deal. However, Reds did not ask him to waive no-trade.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 12, 2013
Phillips owed $50M over next four seasons. Gardner will earn $4M+ in walk year. #Yankees continue to say they are reluctant to trade him.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 12, 2013
#Yankees value Gardner's speed, on-base ability, superior defense - and even his clubhouse presence. He's a longtime favorite of Cashman's.

So, no deal.

The American Bar Association (ABA) will not revoke its "well qualified" rating for Justice Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court, after allegations of sexual and professional misconduct prompted the group to reopen its review of Kavanaugh's record.
An unnamed ABA official told CNN that the ABA rules provide that the review process should close with the nominee's confirmation.
"Per the published policy and historical practice of the Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, once a justice or judge is confirmed, the Standing Committee's rating process is closed," according to the ABA's standing committee on the federal judiciary.
The standing committee's evaluations are separate and distinct from the Bar Association, though the ABA itself urged the Senate Judiciary Committee to postpone its consideration of Kavanaugh's nomination pending the completion of an FBI investigation.
The ABA is the largest professional lawyers organization in the United States.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will lead a separate inquiry into 15 separate complaints lodged with Kavanaugh's former court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The complaints allege Kavanaugh gave false testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee and failed to maintain a judicial temperament.
Kavanaugh's former colleague, Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, referred the complaints to Chief Justice John Roberts, who in turn forwarded them to the 10th Circuit.
It's not likely that Kavanaugh will face consequences, however, even if the complaints have merit. Now that Kavanaugh is a Supreme Court justice, he is not bound by the judicial conduct rules that govern other federal judges, and can only be removed from office through impeachment.

Firefox 38 brings UI tweaks on Android and support for playing protected video content on the desktop
Mozilla has released the latest stable version of its desktop and mobile Firefox browsers today, bringing support for playing back DRM-protected content from sites like Netflix and a few minor tweaks to the interface on mobile.
Explained today in a blog post, Firefox on the desktop now includes the Adobe Content Decryption Module (CDM) to allow protected content to be played back if it has been placed inside the HTML 5 Video tag.
As Firefox is open-source, there will be some users who aren't very pleased with the introduction of a proprietary DRM technology. Mozilla has anticipated this, however, and is offering the browser sans CDM support for anyone who won't need it to stream content from BBC iPlayer, Netflix or a range of other services.
Other new features in Firefox 38 include support for the Ruby HTML 5 markup, which is used to help show the pronunciation of words in Chinese and Japanese and a couple of tweaks aimed at making developer's lives easier.
On mobile, the Android version of Firefox now also includes support for Ruby markup and offers a few tweaked screens and interfaces – there's a new 'Welcome screen,' Reader View controls and a new Synced Tabs panel layout on tablets.

Participatory water management in India: Theory and practice
2 Abteilung 2: Grundwasser und Boden, Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR)
O 19.15 in Young Hydrogeologists forum
21.03.2018, 16:15-16:30, 3
When turning our attention away from the (ground-)water situation in industrialized countries and setting the focus on countries characterized by rapid population growth, urbanization and climate change impacts, it becomes clear that the exploration of groundwater resources alone is not a sufficient basis for initiating water management strategies to solve water problems in both quality and quantity. Hydrogeology projects in such countries, therefore, increasingly focus on bottom-up approaches and cooperation between hydrogeologists and social scientists (see UpGro project by BGS). The advantage of this method is that it puts both, the solutions which are locally implemented to solve water problems (e.g. by NGOs or government) and the outcomes of hydrogeological research projects, to a more sustainable use. However, in pursuing this approach numerous unexpected challenges have to be overcome.
Insights from an ongoing case-study in Jaipur, India, focusing on participatory community-based water management in low-income areas, under the lead of the Indian NGO Mahila Housing SEWA Trust and funded by the Global Resilience Partnership, illustrate the challenges hydrogeologists face both during the field work and in the cooperation with local partner organizations. One of the biggest challenges are the often unrealistic expectations people have towards hydrogeological research, as they assume it will solve all water-related problems in a short time. Additionally, the work is highly influenced by the way people imagine groundwater, which has also a huge impact on how they deal with it. A basic understanding of groundwater as well as of the necessity of an ongoing monitoring, however, is of great importance for the sustainability of a participatory approach.

Saturday, September 21
Red Pencil conferences are hosted biennially by the Northwest Editors Guild as a learning and networking forum for its members, colleagues, and friends in the editing community. It is the largest conference specifically for editors on the West Coast. Over 200 editors participate from the Pacific Northwest, California, Canada, and beyond. For more information about the conference, please visit our FAQ page.
The 2019 conference will be held on the campus of Bastyr University (14500 Juanita Dr. NE, Kenmore, WA 98028), 16 miles northeast of downtown Seattle. The setting is a true Northwest experience, nestled in the woods on a beautiful campus that features gardens, walking paths, and nearby trails.
The 2019 conference presents opportunities to explore the theme of "voice and voices" from multiple angles:
• The personal: How can editors listen to and support their own inner voice in their branding and business practices?
• The professional: How can we improve our ability to support each client's authentic voice, while improving their ability to connect with their audience?
• The public: How can we support the voices of a greater range of writers and readers, both in our work and in our editorial community?
Join us as we listen, learn, and expand our understanding of the world of editing.
We are excited to bring Viniyanka Prasad to Seattle to help us explore this year's theme. Her keynote presentation, "The Power to Hear Another's Truth," is a discussion on recognizing the central and essential in stories told from another's perspective, and on embracing our capacity to provide structure without reshaping. For more information about Viniyanka,
please visit our FAQ page.

Dining Dollars Offers Alternative Selection For MIT Plastic Cash
The class of 2010 will be the first to meet TechCASH's younger cousin, Dining Dollars, which isn't quite legal at all campus convenience locations. TechCASH accounts will include a new feature that allows students and parents to earmark money to be spent only on food beginning this fall, announced Director of Campus Dining Richard D. Berlin III. The separate account, called Dining Dollars, can be maintained and accessed just like a normal declining balance TechCASH account, but the funds can only be used to purchase food.

In a post to the USENET group alt.video.ptv.tivo (Google Groups) user Douglas Bullard shared a cautionary tale. Apparently Western Digital changed something in the way they prepare the My DVR Expander eSATA drives and this causes the TiVo HD to not recognize it as an approved drive. (Since the Series3 works with most eSATA drives I'd expect it to still work with the S3.) It seems that Douglas was the first (un)lucky person to discover this change in the wild, so the extent of the issue is currently unknown.
TiVo and Western Digital are now aware of the issue and are investigating, so there will probably be a fix for the issue forthcoming. TiVo is replacing Douglas's drive with one that will work with the TiVo HD. So if you buy a WD My DVR Expander and have trouble getting it to work with your TiVo HD you might want to contact TiVo and/or WD. If this impacts a batch of drives just returning to a store for another may not solve the issue, as other drives on the shelf are likely to be from the same batch.
