PAUL COOK is set to unleash 'assassin' Conor Chaplin on Macclesfield.
Cook has confirmed the teenage hitman will start against the Silkmen in today's FA Cup first-round clash at Fratton Park.
Chaplin will be handed a place in the Pompey boss's starting XI, as he makes his first appearance from the outset since the clash with Exeter in September.
Cook feels he cannot leave out the 18-year-old, who has five goals to his name this season.
And he is certain Chaplin will bring the predatory instincts which are a hallmark of his game to the table.
Cook said: 'Conor's a massive tick.
'I see Conor more as a number nine in the modern-day game.
'He's a finisher, he's an assassin – the one who fires the ball into the net.
'I've always thought he was a number nine.
'Some of the coaching stuff think he's more of a 10.
'He's an attacking player.
'His job on the pitch is to score goals, so you have to build the team around him.
'He has to have minutes on the pitch.'
With new-face Marc McNulty eligible for the game, Cook intends to give an extended run out to the loan arrival.
Cook added: 'The new boy has only come in yesterday.
'Common sense tells you he'll come on the pitch at quite an early stage, but that depends how the game is going.
'It gives him a little chance to have a look at the things we do.
'It's a chance for more minutes for Adam McGurk.
'It's a chance for more of these players and hopefully for more penetration.'

AN open-air gig headlined by Swedish DJ Avicii turned into an orgy of drink and drug-fuelled violence, witnesses claimed.
Police arrested 29 yobs – one for serious assault – at Bellahouston Park, Glasgow, on Saturday night as the second Summer Sessions descended into bedlam.
Many escaped from the "horrendous" scenes early in the show, while those living beside the park were terrified as drunken louts stumbled in and out of their gardens.
Clyde One DJ Diane "Knoxy" Knox-Campbell witnessed the violence from inside the 35,000 capacity outdoor arena.
She tweeted: "Yep, lasted 5 mins of Avicii - the most disgusting display of people I've ever seen. Neddy little gimps, never felt more uncomfortable!!"
Another twitter user said: "Did you see the violence?? Honestly, feel embarrassed I invited my friends to that. Horrendous!"
DJ Avicii and rap sensation Tinie Tempah shared the stage, with doors opening to the outdoor gig at 4pm. But families living in Mosspark Boulevard, which runs parallel to the park's side entrances, claim their street descended into drunken chaos from early afternoon.
One man said: "The police failed, the licensing authorities failed, DF Concerts failed and it wasn't stewarded well. It was a disaster.
"Young people – many under 18 – were drinking outside our house from 2pm. There were so many people being sick and passing out on the pavements. It was chaos."
Gig organisers DF Concerts did not respond to our inquiries.
US superstar Eminem will appear on the Bellahouston stage tomorrow night.
Police said 22 people were arrested for public order offences at his Saturday night concert at Slane, Ireland.

Almost all writers have heard the phrase "write what you know." It's the kind of common sense advice that is too soon disregarded; not that we are to be limited by our experience, but that we should let that experience inform and guide our writing. And if a certain topic lies outside our realm of experience, it is usually possible to expand our realm of knowledge – after all, what else is the internet good for? (Actually, don't answer that.)
The point is, it can be difficult for writers to force a perspective to which they cannot relate, and stories ought to be at least as varied and diverse as the authors who wrote them.
Unfortunately, that is often not the case.
As often as writers are told to "write what they know," they can be told that what they write needs to appeal to a wide audience – and often by the very same people. This doesn't sound like terrible advice, especially not to a writer looking to get published; the problem, however, arises when the two pieces of advice come into conflict.
Too often, this imagined audience consists of the white, cisgendered, heterosexual, able-bodied, upper middle-class public, which, apparently, is incapable of enjoying any work not centered around it. As a result, writers who step outside this boundary are forced to justify their characters' very identities – why is she black; he doesn't need to be gay; no one wants to read about a trans* protagonist; her MS adds nothing to the story! There's a sense that if the story isn't about the character's identity, then there's no need for it to be mentioned. After all, why bother having a diverse cast of characters when we can just let the readers assume that they're normal, and make sure no one is put off.
Except that these identities are part of our characters, just as they can be part of us. I don't need a reason to be gay, or trans, or asexual – I just am. And some of my characters are too. After all, it's what I know – and there's nothing wrong or abnormal about it.
More than that – and this all goes for all forms of media, not just fiction books – it can be disheartening for members of so-called minority groups to never see strong characters with whom they can identify. It's easy to feel alone, or unimportant, when there are no icons who look like you, and who know what you're feeling and what you've been through. On the other hand, when you do find that character, the one who has the same colour skin as you, or binds his chest just like you do, or has no interest in romance and sex – the rush is incredible. It's the feeling of finally being acknowledged, of knowing that not only are you not alone, but that you too can be the protagonist of your own story.
So if you're a writer, or a film maker, or an artist or of any kind: don't let anyone tell you who is and is not important, or beautiful, or worthy of having their story told. Equality in media is a huge step toward equality in culture; so even if you're part of the privileged majority, dare to have a diverse set of subjects, and treat each character's identity with the respect it deserves. Write what you know – but expand upon your knowledge when you can. It'll be good for your art, good for your audience, and good for our culture.
And if you do this in your work, let me know – I'd like to give it a look myself.

Lost permission of a folder
I recently lost permission to one of my folders (Pictures folder) and the all contents inside. I still have Read and Execute rights, but I lost all others. I don't know if it has anything to do with Homegroup sharing because I recently set up a Homegroup and shared the folder. I removed the folder from sharing but it didn't fix the problem.
Something odd I noticed was in the Properties->Security tab, where it lists all users who have access to the folder, it lists Account Unknown followed by a long string. Normally it lists [my name]\[computer name] or SYSTEM. I have a feeling that the unknown account is actually my account, but somehow the computer is not recognizing that fact. I tried to manually edit permission to give the unknown account full control but it wouldn't let me do it (access denied error).
I could just live without it, I can probably create a new pictures folder and move all the files, but I'd like to know how to fix the problem.

The Gallery is a showcase for things created by Northern Califonia weavers, spinners, dyers and basket makers. Do you have a work of your own, or know of someone's work that you believe should be here to inspire the world? Send it to us! A click on any of the thumbnail photos below will bring up the full size photo for your viewing pleasure.
January-February 2014 – Eugenia Gwathney
A basketry and gourd artist since 1982, working originally with collected natural materials, I have mastered some reed and bark techniques, as well. My favorite style is twining, with natural materials from my yard. Plaiting diagonally and twill are my latest challenges. I started embellishing gourds early in the gourd revolution, but have returned to basketry, my first love in fiber arts. I am a member of the Bay Area Basket Makers, since 1986, and served as President for 7 years. With the Sacramento Weavers' and Spinners' Guild I set up the basket display for the annual Open House each February. A constant learner, I continue to take classes from other basket teachers. My favorite teachers are Judith Olney and Flo Hoppe. Besides BABM and SWSG, I also belong to the Misti Washington Basket and Gourd Guild and the National Basketry Organization.
As with many fiber artists, I travel to collect. My basket collection is from Africa, Asia, Europe, Mexico and the Pacific Rim. In addition to basketry I enjoy sewing, paper crafts, embroidery and photography.

Katie Alcorn spotted this image in the New York Times about 2 years ago and could not get it out of her head. "I was struck by the absolute drama of the dancer's pose and the flowing red fabric against the dark background. I wanted to see if I could capture it all in tapestry. I began by dying wool yarns, some store bought, most hand spun, in many variations of red–which were the hardest to do. The rest of the colors came much easier, it was a very limited palette. It took me about 2 months to complete and was woven on a cotton warp."
February 2012
Wendy Bertrand was walking in the rural countryside of La Drôme, France when looking at the spring flowers among the meadow grass led to wondering "Could I catch this delight in one of my rugs?" French Meadow is a 35″ X 59″ three-end block rug (hand-tied shaft switching on a Fireside loom), using 12 different colored commercial wools accented with hand spun mohair threads. The warp is linen. Note the 3-D effect of the poppies, an easy fun variation. Wendy enjoys spinning and weaving with the Windy Weavers and Spinners in Crescent City and with the Loom & Shuttle Guild in San Francisco.
September 2011
Barbara Nitzberg of the Loom & Shuttle Guild made this piece. Barbara writes: "Every once in a while a structure captures the imagination and just won't let go. That's how I feel about Warp Wrapping, a fascinating structure from Pre-Columbian Peru. I've examined textiles done in this structure, drawn diagrams, woven samples and still new ideas keep coming. All those intriguing "what ifs". What happens if I change the warp/weft balance, what if I move warps to the side, what if I combine with plain weave? Endless, wonderful possibilities!"
June 2011
Linda Cannefax of the Redwood Empire Handweavers & Spinners Guild made this jacket. Linda writes: "The jacket is plain weave,100% cotton. The ikat strips were hand dyed by me while the other cotton is from my stash. I designed the jacket so that there is not a lot of fabric waste, it's a short jacket with pleats in front and in back . I did not have a preconcieved plan for the stripes, I really just go by what feels right to me. This jacket looks good on most figures. I find that it is fun to try all kinds of combinations."
February 2011
Gudrun Polak of the Santa Cruz Handweaver's Guild made this cardwoven band using 24 pattern cards and 2 border cards. Gudrun says "The fascinating thing about card weaving is that you always weave two patterns, one that you designed and one that shows up "accidentally" on the other side. Sometimes these two patterns are similar, sometimes they are the same pattern upside down. In this case they are quite different and you can choose which side to call the real deal."
September 2010
Barbara Cabrol of the Sacramento guild was very excited to have her "High Desert Twilight Wrap" accepted into the Convergence 2010 Fashion show. The hemp and hand-dyed silk warp was originally designed as a 12 shaft Bedford Cord in 2006. After various wefts failed to cause the desired diagonal ridges to appear it was set aside until January 2010. Finally woven on the same threading with a fine blue cotton as the ground weft, the same hand-dyed silk weft completes the window-pane plaid around the now intentionally non-shrinking white silk diamonds to insure the fabric remained flat.
June 2010
Aiko Kobayashi Gray's tapestries use plain weave in two techniques, weft face and a balanced weave. Aiko's loom is a simple wood frame which she scores at top and bottom for warp placement. No cartoon is used but Aiko does start with a general idea of theme and then adds color and materials. The materials range from handspun wool to synthetics in a variety of sizes. Aiko hopes to convey a sense of movement of air, wind, smell, sound or music. To learn more about Aiko, who is a member of the Diablo Weavers Guild, visit her website: www.aikokobayashi.com
April 2010
Patty Townsend of the Loom and Shuttle Guild made this painted silk table runner. "I used Alchemy Silken Straw as warp & weft in the top layer. The weave structure is Swedish lace, and it served as a canvas for hand painting afterwards. The piece began as a scarf, but I discovered that this particular silk, stunning as it was, did not drape well. Thus, I backed it with a wider piece of silk and it is better suited as a decorative runner instead."
February 2010
Martha Stanley of the Santa Cruz Handweavers Guild created this piece she calls her "ply split sisal floor doily". The technique is ply-splitting and Martha used material left over from a project of her mothers.
January 2010
Beryl Moody of the Sacramento guild sent us this photo of her woven shibori scarf. She writes: "I used soy protein yarns in both warp and weft and a point twill design for the ground cloth in this woven shibori scarf. Soy protein dyes with acid dyes, so I painted the gathered scarf with Lanaset dye and heat set it using steam. I was quite surprised when I found that the soy protein fiber permanently pleated with the heat."
September 2009
Pat Stewart of the Loom and Shuttle guild wove this prize winning shawl in fine wool and wool/silk yarns. The top layer of the plain double weave portion is smaller, leaving the offset edges open. The "Wave" motif is woven as a stitched double cloth. This shawl was the winner of HGA and Complex Weavers awards at the CNCH Conference in 2008.
July 2009
Mollie Freeman of the Sacramento Guild created this beautifu jacket using a number of different techiniques. The fabric is cotton and rayon, a painted warp woven in plain weave. Mollie then used stenciling and a twin needle with her sewing machine to achieve the lovely surface design.

Hi friends! I hope you enjoyed your long weekend and that you had a bit more sun than we did in California. But not to worry, we didn't let the rain stop us:
Do you know what you are looking at?
This is my husband working in our front courtyard on the crown molding for our master bathroom. {Maybe the courtyard should be a project in and of itself in the near future, ya think?!}
That umbrella is not up to shade him from the sun…it's protecting him and the saw from the rain!
The crown is going up in our bathroom…just needs some caulk and paint now and it's done. D.O.N.E. Not just the crown, but the whole bathroom!! Shhhh, it's only been a year.
Tour to come later this week…stay tuned! Smile!
Oh and on a separate note…I have some posts coming up about cooking and grocery shopping with kids…but I just want to make sure I keep it real and you know that I sometimes struggle with the best of –em….here's a picture taken while cooking this evening with my darling children:
Nice, huh?

2017 Dodge Challenger
2017 Dodge Challenger at Brennan Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram for Minden, LA
The 2017 Dodge Challenger strikes a nuanced balance between retro-inspired looks, forward-thinking features, and powerful engine options. A two-door coupe with an emphasis on performance, the Challenger features plenty of amenities to keep the ride safe and fun. There are five different trim levels which ensure that each engine will be paired with equipment that supports it. At the highest trim level, the Challenger is capable of generating an impressive 707 horsepower.
Under the Challenger's Hood
The Dodge Challenger is powered by one of four available engines, three of which are V8s. There are five trim levels meaning almost every trim level is powered by a different engine. The first available engine is a 3.6-liter V6 engine which offers 305 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. The starting V8 engine is the 5.7-liter V8 which can generate 372 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Standard on the R/T Scat Pack and the SRT 392 trim levels, the 6.4-liter V8 offers 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. The Dodge Challenger Hellcat model is a true muscle car. It comes equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine capable of generating 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission comes standard with the Dodge Challenger but a manual transmission is available if you would prefer.
Design of Dodge Challenger
The Challenger's design balances a retro-inspired style that conjures images of the heyday of muscle cars and futuristic, high tech features that keep the Challenger feeling fresh and innovative. Each trim level includes features that work well with the engine that comes standard with that trim providing a nuanced and optimized experience. Dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless ignition and entry, heated mirrors, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, and 18-inch wheels all come standard at the entry-level trim. The top-tier trim level is the SRT Hellcat and comes with automatic wipers, automatic high-beams, quad exhaust tips, and a unique exterior design. Many of the Challenger's controls are all integrated into the Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment display, making all the controls easily accessible in one convenient place. The Challenger comes equipped with many features that help to support its performance. It also includes design elements to accentuate its identity as a muscle car.

Some of the stand-out safety features include 911 call/assist call, adaptive cruise control-plus with full stop, full-speed forward collision warning-plus, and lane keep assist. There are also some features available to help the driver park in difficult situations. This includes the optional ParkView rear back-up camera.

Urban Apiculture: Raise Bees in Your Apartment
The following is an excerpt from Fresh Food from Small Spaces: The Square-Inch Gardener's Guide to Year-Round Growing, Fermenting, and Sprouting by R. J. Ruppenthal. It has been adapted for the Web.
I am not a beekeeper. I have known beekeepers. I have watched them look after their bees and have been fortunate that some have shared their knowledge and honey with me. Each time I have tasted raw, local honey, I have wished that I had my own colony of bees. But I guess everything takes time and we need to pick our paths. For now I have my hands full with many of the other pursuits mentioned in this book, not to mention a family and a full-time professional life. But I do hope to try raising my own bees someday, and I hope you will consider it also.
Since I am not an expert, my information comes from books and from others who have raised bees and told me about it. And there are a number of reasons that we should all consider raising bees, which reportedly take less work than other animals you could keep. They also do the world a lot of good by pollinating our plants and trees. And of course they produce delicious honey, which is a valued commodity that you can eat, share, and sell if need be.
Your first step in considering whether to raise bees should be to examine local ordinances and make sure there are no restrictions on keeping bees in your county, city, neighborhood, or building. Bees can be loud and they can sting, so you'll also need to make sure that no one in your family, nor the immediate neighborhood, has allergies to bee stings. Offering to share some honey the first year with neighbors might mitigate adverse reactions to the idea of your keeping bees.
Bees have a place in the city. Wherever there are flowering plants and trees, we need bees to pollinate them, and the urban green roof movement is accelerating this demand. Chicago, which has been a leader in retrofitting many downtown buildings with green roofs, has a City Hall building with both a green roof and an apiary of bees on top. The roofs of the famous old opera building in Paris and posh Fortnum & Mason in London's busy Piccadilly Square are two more examples of famous urban buildings that play host to colonies of bees. In addition to their pollination services, bees provide honey as a nice byproduct, and this is the reason many become beekeepers.
If you have an outside area that is bordered by a hedge or fence, then this could be a perfect place for a hive, shielding the bees from neighbors' view. In addition, such a barrier can force bees to fly higher on take-off, minimizing the dangers of human interaction. Beehives do not need to be in full sunlight, and even in cold temperatures, bees work to seal off the hive from wind and they cluster in the center of the structure where their combined body heat can keep the colony going through a cold winter. According to Backyard Beekeeper author Kim Flottum, keeping bees takes more work over the course of a season than keeping a cat, but less work than keeping a dog. That may be an underestimation with the more recent disease problems that have resulted in a honeybee die-off in many regions, but with adequate research and preparation, you can become a successful urban beekeeper even on a small scale.
Keeping bees is a commitment, just like keeping pets. Before taking on such a responsibility, you would be wise to talk to some local beekeepers in your area and perhaps see if you can spend a day with one of them and his/her hives. There are a number of state and local associations across the United States and around the world. The San Francisco Beekeepers Association offers an introductory beekeeping class for both members and nonmembers; for those who do not have space for their own hives, the association also can host your hive for a small fee. The Vermont Beekeepers Association also provides workshops for novices, as well as a mentoring program with experienced beekeepers. A former president, Ross Conrad, wrote the book Natural Beekeeping: Organic Approaches to Modern Apiculture. The Texas Beekeepers' Association has an extensive network of local affiliates that hold regular meetings and provide support to novices. The Toronto District Beekeepers Association offers prospective beekeepers an opportunity to meet with experienced beekeepers and discuss the craft. (They also hold a honey-tasting competition.) Try searching on the Internet or checking with your local Cooperative Extension agent to see if there is an active beekeeping club in your area that could give you some advice on starting up.
Beginning beekeeping kits, which generally include two hives with eight frames as well as the basic equipment you need to get started, cost in the neighborhood of $215 at Betterbee. Dadant Beekeeping and Golden Bee sell basic kits beginning around $150. If you decide to start with a kit, make sure that it is made of durable materials and that it can accommodate expansion with more frames and hives in the future. And before buying anything, I would advise approaching your local association or a neighborhood beekeeper for some advice on how to get started.
Another reason to start local is that you will, at some point, need some bees. And while you can mail order them, bees do not transport all that well. They can die or get stressed in transit, plus you may not know whether a particular variety is well suited to your region. Getting locally proven and healthy bees from someone in your area, if at all possible, is the way to go. If these are not available or if you need to re-queen, then order from a reputable mail-order source; your local beekeeping group should be able to recommend some. And before getting any bees, it is instructive to take a class or read a beginners' beekeeping guide such as one of the books mentioned above, that can teach you about the different types of available honeybees and their attributes, advantages, and disadvantages. These include their tendency to swarm or defend the hive as well as their winter cold-hardiness and their proneness or resistance to certain diseases.
Speaking of diseases, the onset of colony collapse disorder (CCD) in many regions of Europe and North America has deservedly received some media attention in the last few years. CCD is a term coined to describe the sudden disappearance of worker bees from a colony, which causes it to collapse suddenly. For reasons that are not entirely understood, more than two-thirds of the managed bee population in North America has died off in the course of the last few seasons following similar reports in Europe. This follows a dramatic decline in our wild honeybee population, which has been a trend for some time. Since at least 30 percent of our world's fruit and vegetable crops need bee pollination, CCD is an extremely serious issue for humans as well as a cautionary flag for would-be beekeepers. Scientists do not fully understand whether CCD has resulted from pathogens, tracheal or varroa mites, pesticide use, climate change, or other factors. Since bees pick up whatever is out there in our environment, even the small-scale hobbyist beekeeper needs to be proactively prepared to combat mite infestations and disease problems. You owe it to yourself, as well as your future colony of bees, to research your responsibilities fully before taking them on. That being said, there is so much to be gained from beekeeping, and your bees provide such a service to the world around you, that I hope you do strongly consider this noble pursuit.

When: Tuesday, July 19, 2016
Hot Spot: Broken Spanish, Los Angeles, CA
Deets: Before test driving the 2017 Lincoln MKZ, guests were invited to a quick light breakfast/lunch fare at Broken Spanish, 2015 Chef of the Year Ray Garcia's restaurant in DTLA. Lincoln executives spoke briefly about the process of creating the new MKZ. Shortly after, guests were invited to take a Lincoln MKZ for a test drive around Los Angeles.
"The new MKZ is a driver's car with the desire to excite, and the power to do it. Equipped with one of the most powerful engines Lincoln has ever produced-- the all-new 3.0 liter GTDI V6-- MKZ puts 400 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque at your disposal, all made possible by twin-turbocharging, direct-injection technology. Underfoot, it's planted with the help of Dynamic Torque Vectoring and Intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD). This duo of technologies can send up to 100% of the available rear-axle torque to one outside rear wheel while cornering to deliver a smooth and seamless driving experience."
Click here for more details on the MKZ.
Hint For The Average Socialite: Lincoln opened a Lincoln Experience Center in Newport Beach! Check out what events are happening there.

...is more volunteers.
Ok Jim, I'll bite. How do you get more volunteers?
One of the ideas I thought was neat at the recent Washington Koi and watergarden show clean up crew after, was to treat them to supper .
A chance to unwind and socialize over a meal...I'm used to seeing a welcoming barbeque on friday night for the set up crew.....
I also noticed the head judge because of his connecting flight didn't leave till monday morning, great opportunity to have a name drawn to spend some time sunday evening and talk koi.
I think the resources are there it's just a matter of recognizing them.
At Louisville we are playing around with the idea of "Vendor Bucks". For each hour you help setup the Show you get a X amount of Vendor Bucks to spend with a Vendor during the Show. They could be handed out on Friday evening at the Welcome Dinner, I believe the Vendors love the idea.
Troy, I really like the vendor bucks idea. Thanks for sharing....
One of the issues is that we are relying on a volunteer network. Expecting volunteers to run a business is going to end in disappointment. And for those that don't think that the koi show is a business they are wrong. Licenses, insurance, banking, tax paperwork, vendors, sponsors, rentals, rented venue- sure sounds like a business to me!
My club hires temps to assist in setup and breakdown. It's cheaper than buying dinners at the end when everyone's beat and eager to get home, anyway.
Mike, can we help vendors here to recognize that the shows are how to expand their customer bases? What do we need to change in the format to become more welcoming to vendor support? I think that the time to act is now, before we lose any more ground. Sure, changes will not be instantly successful. Perseverance can pay large dividends, though.
How much is the success of this hobby worth to you? To any of us? We spend a lot of money on our own ponds and fish, but perhaps we should first consider securing shows as lasting ways to expand the hobby before we consider getting the next exciting new thing. Is buying and carefully raising high quality koi reward enough if the shows fail? If we need the shows, and I think we do, we need to worry more about building the hobby and shows so that they are here for the next generation than obtaining and keeping beautiful fish that no one will ever see.
I've been adopting this attitude. My pond is a QT, and will stay that way for a while yet. My meager money is going to attend and volunteer at shows, to help other koi keepers to get to shows, whatever I can do to build the hobby and shows. To me, there's no reason to buy and maintain a Mercedes if the roads suck. Gotta fix the roads first.

With our new grants for research into the uses of liquid biopsies, Dr Sophie Lutter explains why they allow scientists to read clues about how a prostate cancer responds to treatment, and how they could revolutionise the way men are diagnosed and monitored with the disease.
At the moment, precision medicine – that is finding the right drug for the right man at the right time – is the watch-word of the day. It's what experts around the world are predicting to become the new gold standard for prostate cancer care.
But what actually needs to happen to find out which changes in a man's tumour DNA are driving his cancer and could be targeted with treatment?
The truth is that prostate cancers have always sent out clues to their molecular weaknesses, but it's taken years of research to reach the point where we can not only see those clues, but also start to unravel their meaning. It's just like a 'cold case' crime scene. The clues were always there, but until we understood how to use a fingerprint – or later on, a trace of DNA evidence – we didn't know that these were clues, or understand how they could help us identify the criminal.
Liquid biopsies could predict how serious a man's cancer might be, work out which treatment will work best for him, and monitor how well he responds
It's very similar with cancer, except we're not quite at the 'solving cold cases' stage yet. Scientists have known that cancers shed cells and genetic material into the bloodstream for a while. But the technology to be able to isolate the tumour cells and DNA from normal cells and DNA in the blood, and then to 'read' and interpret what it means, is only really coming into its own now.
This technology is called a liquid biopsy. It's still being developed, and it represents the real cutting edge of prostate cancer therapeutics. Liquid biopsies could potentially be used to predict how serious a man's cancer might be, work out which treatment will work best for him, and monitor how well he's responding to treatment. If the treatment isn't working, a liquid biopsy can help doctors understand why.
This just isn't possible with a traditional biopsy. While some genetic changes may be present in the tumour from the time a man is first diagnosed (and has his first prostate biopsy taken), most cancers will evolve during the course of the disease. They acquire more and more mutations that can affect how the cancer responds to treatment.
On top of this, not all cells are the same. Some cells in the same tumour may have a different genetic make-up to other cells. And finally, if the cancer grows and spreads outside the prostate and forms secondary tumours elsewhere in the body, the genetic changes in those tumours may well be different to those in the main prostate cancer.
This means that it's quite possible that a traditional biopsy, even of the secondary tumours, could miss the cells – or even the tumours – that have the key mutations we need to find. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Not only that, but once a man is already receiving treatment, if doctors want to monitor how well he's doing, a series of traditional biopsies – especially of secondary tumours – just isn't practical. Not only would this be physically demanding and incredibly invasive for a man who may well be feeling increasingly poorly anyway, but it would also be very expensive and time consuming.
The demands on the patient from a liquid biopsy are very slight – it's just a blood test
On the other hand, the demands on the patient from a liquid biopsy are very slight – it's just a blood test. This can be done every time the man comes in to see his doctor. And because the tumour cells or DNA circulating in the blood are likely to come from all parts of all tumours, there's a higher chance that this will reveal the clues to which new treatment will work best, how well a current treatment is treating a man's cancer, or why a treatment may not be working as well as expected.
Repeated testing also allows for quick action. Right now, if a drug stops working, it's only when the man's PSA levels start to rise and/or imaging shows his tumours are starting to grow again that a new treatment option might be given. But what if we didn't have to wait for these physiological changes? What if we could track the moment the cancer's DNA changes to make it resistant to treatment?
With liquid biopsies, that may well be the reality and a man could save precious time, and possibly increase his quality of life, by not continuing to take a treatment that is no longer working for him with all the side effects that entails.
Developing, refining and validating this new technology to get it into the clinic as soon as possible is going to play a big part in cancer research over the next few years, and cancer treatment in the years after that. It's important that prostate cancer doesn't get left behind.
That's why we're already using funds from the Movember Foundation to support projects that will use liquid biopsies to deliver precision medicine to men with prostate cancer. You can read more about these projects in our news story and on our funded research pages.

|Sun exposure & HIV
Apr 19, 2006
One of the immediate changes in my body's working when I became HIV+ was that I went from dsomeone who had hardy skin and rarely burned to not being able to be in the sun without sun poisoning, itching rash. Can intense sunblock help this? I hate never to go on a boat or swim again!
Response from Dr. Henry
In my experience increased sun sensitivity in the setting of HIV infection is more often due to use of drugs (such as sulfa antibiotics) that directly cause photosensitivity. HIV can cause all sorts of skin problems and so a small minority of patients may experience an exagerated response to UV Light injury to the skin from sun exposure. Heavy use of skin block usually would be helpful in that situation. KH

Miley Cyrus Siding with Mom in Parents Divorce?
Miley Cyrus shared an interesting picture over the weekend on her Twitter page.
After recent news that her mom had filed for divorce from her dad, Bill Ray Cyrus, it seemed the pop singer was siding with her mom when she posted a picture of herself, mom Tish, and sister Noah. On Father's Day no less!
Later on though, Cyrus showed Billy Ray some Twitter love also by tweeting him the message "Happy Daddy Day." This not to long after calling her dad out saying he hadn't been communicating well with the family since the divorce news broke.
Is communicating through Twitter a good thing for Miley?

ORANGEBURG, S.C. — Presidential candidate Wesley K. Clark called Thursday for L. Paul Bremer III, head of the U.S. reconstruction effort in Iraq, to be removed as part of a broad strategy to end the U.S. occupation.
Clark said Bremer and the Coalition Provisional Authority he heads should be replaced by a non-American in charge of a new Iraqi Reconstruction and Democracy Council that would include representatives from the United States and its allies.
Clark, a retired Army general and former military commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, also broke with many of his Democratic rivals by raising the possibility of increasing the number of U.S. troops to complete the mission. "An increase doesn't mean you're failing," he said in a speech here at South Carolina State University.
Clark said the United States needed more special forces and other lighter units so the military could "strike hard" against the enemy and win the war. He said more Arab Americans should be recruited to help provide cultural expertise.

Hello Everyone,
Hope you all have a wonderful and safe 2013.
Last week, we spent a day visiting all the blogs and sites for all the Ladies and Gent who applied for our 2013 Design Team. All I can say is that it was a very hard task. The standard of submissions was outstanding. There is such incredible talent out there!
We would have love to have everyone and found it really hard narrowing it down to a short list.
If you didn't make the final team then please don't despair as we will be contacting 11 of you to be a guest designer for one month this year.
We will also be sending everyone who applied, a small sample of our chipboard to play with and ask that the project you make using it be loaded up to our ning site.
It is always hard saying good bye to team members leaving us. Some of our wonderful girls from this year have decided to move on and we wish them all the love and luck in the world for their future crafty adventures.
So over the next few days we will be posting some of our favorite projects done by our departing team members.
We are saying a saying a sad farewell to...
Asuka Miyamoto
Gloria Stengel

Hello, said Ms. Johnson, I'm Ms. Johnson. Hello, said Ditto, I'm Ditto. Nice to meet you, Ditto. Nice to meet you, Ms. Johnson. I understand, said Ms. Johnson, that you had some trouble with the Dibels test. Yes, said Ditto, the words didn't make any sense. Didn't the schoolmarm explain, said Ms. Johnson, that the words were make-believe words? Yes, said Ditto, but even make-believe words have meaning. I don't understand, said Ms. Johnson. Aren't all words, said Ditto, make-believe words? All words? said Ms. Johnson. Yes, said Ditto, the word "tree" has no ontological relationship to the thing we call a tree. We might invent any word and make believe it refers to a tree. In fact, that's what we've done since the beginning of language—the word for tree is different in every language that exists—all the different words are simply make-believe words that we've agreed upon to refer to trees.
You're exactly right, said Ms. Johnson. And if someone is asked to read a group of make-believe words, said Ditto, how do they know that the words don't have make-believe pronunciations? They don't know, said Ms. Johnson, because the group of make-believe words might constitute a make-believe language, with its own grammar, syntax, and pronunciation. Exactly, said Ditto, that's why I had trouble with the test. Would it have helped, said Ms. Johnson, if the schoolmarm had said the words were "meaningless"? Meaningless? said Ditto. How could they be called meaningless if they've determined where I have to spend my lunch hour? Yes, said Ms. Johnson, the two of us are going to get along very, very well.

Levels of Care
Detox (DTX): In our detox programs, we provide nonmedical/medically supervised medically supervised detox treatment and 24-hour supervision by an experienced staff. Our staff helps our patients through the withdrawal process and helps prevent any life threatening issues from arising. Nutritionally assisted detox is also available at our San Clemente, CA, facility.
Residential Treatment (RTC): The Sovereign Health residential treatment program, available at our Fort Myers, FL facility, provides 24/7 supervised specialized care and crisis intervention services in environments that promote relaxation and recovery. Patients staying at our Fort Myers facility have spectacular scenic views, plenty of walking and hiking areas, and a number of activities to choose from in weekly or family outings. We also provide individual and group therapy, along with a number of holistic therapies, such as equine or art therapy.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP): This medically supervised program provides comprehensive and structured medically supervised care and therapeutic services at least 5 days a week. The program also provides a series on face-to-face therapeutic sessions that range in level and frequency depending a patient's needs. Patients may choose partial hospitalization as an alternative to residential treatment (RTC) or go from our residential therapy program to partial hospitalization.
Intensive outpatient therapy (IOP): This program is a step-down from partial hospitalization or residential services, and is considered more intensive than traditional outpatient services.
This program provides a number of therapeutic sessions that help patients in reducing the symptoms of mental health disorders and addiction. IOP services are also provided in the evenings, for those who have work or school during the day.
Outpatient treatment (OP): This program provides a number of therapeutic sessions that help patients in reducing the symptoms surrounding mental health disorders and addiction. This is a less intensive form of extended treatment that provides needed support for those in recovery while allowing them to stay at home and go to work or school.

Gnat sat at the pilots station, and absentmindedly watched the display readings. This late watch was always the most boring, with everyone asleep. Another 15 hours or so would bring them to New Haven and payment for their most recent job. She was still compiling the after action report for Ivan, but for the time being she wasn't worrying about it. Same as she wasn't worrying about their cargo, their own doctor seemed to think that it was important to question Drake and the man wouldn't talk. Since the job was to recover Drake and they had done that, Gnat didn't care much herself, but she didn't figure she could fault the man for trying.
A soft knock at the door alerted her to company. Keying it open, she tuned to see the smiling face of Freddy Maglis, she couldn't for the life of her understand how the "great and wise" Captain Ivan Korsogan had been duped into hiring the little con man as his chief of security. She smiled, "couldn't sleep?"
Freddy held out a steaming cup of tea and smiled charmingly, "nope, but tea always helps me relax. Would you, like some?" He didn't wait for an answer, but instead placed the mug in the recessed holder on her chair arm. "Any word on Gary?"
"Richard says he'll be fine, most of his injuries looked worse than they actually were. What's with Richard's purple eyes?"
Freddy shrugged "I'm not sure, he said something about the people on his home world were into genetic screening at birth or something. The crazy part though was Hienrick; I mean, he not only brought a knife to a gunfight, but he won. We seem to have a crew with some special skills…" Freddy's voice trailed off as he leaned towards Gnat, his eyes searching for signed of a spark between them. He almost breathed the words "how about you Ms Specter, what are you good at?"
Freddy's eyes widened as she began to mimic his lean, he caught his breath as her hands pulled at his pants. In one swift action Gnat upended her mug of hut (but not scalding) tea down the front of his pants. As his eyes shot open wide she whispered "misdirection Mr Maglis, misdirection."
Freddy muttered several hurried excuses and backed out of the bridge, ears burning as her laughter followed him from the room. She had tricked him like a common rube. Freddy made his way back to his room to change. As he walked his embarrassment faded…she had gotten the better of him yes, but that just made her a challenge, and her laughter hadn't sounded mocking, more like she had been having fun. Maybe, just maybe….

Danny Flamberg's Blog
Danny has been marketing for a while, and his articles and work reflect great understanding of data driven marketing.
Eric Peterson the Demystifier
Eric gets metrics, analytics, interactive, and the real world. His advice is worth taking...
Geeking with Greg
Greg Linden created Amazon's recommendation system, so imagine what can write about...
Ned Batchelder's Blog
Ned just finds and writes interesting things. I don't know how he does it.
R at LoyaltyMatrix
Jim Porzak tells of his real-life use of R for marketing analysis.
One of the hassles of installing the free VirtualPC from Microsoft (and the free VMWare Server from VMWare) is that they add all sorts of drivers, virtual network cards, etc.
When I asked a friend about the lowest impact offering, he mentioned QEMU, but that was just too barebones… and slow.
But then he suggested VirtualBox by Innotek, which is now open source and includes some aspects of Qemu, but is far advanced from what Qemu offers. So I installed it on a laptop…
And it's really phenomenal. Easy to install, easy to use, and very speedy. In fact, it felt faster than VirtualPC to me, though not as fast as VMWare (but by a hair; most people wouldn't notice the difference). However, it didn't install tons of junk, no extra drivers lying around, no need to reboot after installation.
And it just works.
Well, for the most part. For some reason, every Linux installer and LiveCD startup assumes 24-bit color instead of 16-bit color or 32-bit color, and VirtualPC (prefers 16-bit) and VirtualBox (prefers 32-bit) both have trouble with. Select F4 at the Ubuntu LiveCD screen and select a X x Y x 32 mode and then let it roll; if you install your Linux into a disk image, you can configure a 32-bit display manually instead of letting the LiveCD pick it incorrectly every time and skip this whole concern.
Other than display issues, things worked pretty well. BTW, this display issue will also prevent modern games from running too well under VirtualBox or VirtualPC, both of which still emulate old VESA VGA cards. VMWare Workstation can run DirectX8 (though not all that quickly).
So, if you want to test Ubuntu or other Linux distros via LiveCD, but don't want to run the risk of blowing up your PC, VirtualBox is a great option. Especially if you've struggled through issues like Ubuntu 7.04 and No Mouse on Virtual PC and Ubuntu 7.10 and No Mouse on Virtual PC, two of the more popular links on this blog.
I'll update with more info about my experiences soon.

Should I worry about a heavy vaginal discharge?
Ask the Doctor
Q. I'm concerned about the heavy vaginal discharge I have been having lately. Could this be a sign of an infection?
A. Vaginal discharge is natural, and an increase may reflect normal changes in your body. However, it frequently raises concerns and is a common reason women decide to see a gynecologist.

Finding Common Ground: Regional Collaboration for Marine Resource Management in the Coral Triangle Initiative
Sarkar, Saiontoni
MetadataShow full item record
The Coral Triangle is an area with high marine biodiversity that encompasses four Asian (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Timor Leste) and two Melanesian (Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea) countries. The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI) is a partnership between these six countries to strengthen marine and coastal management in the Coral Triangle. In 2009, the countries adopted a Regional Plan of Action to work towards this goal. Regional collaboration on marine conservation provides an opportunity for countries to jointly address issues that are shared among nations and collaborative processes designed to engage diverse stakeholders have the potential to improve marine resource management. Through participation in the CTI's regional meetings, working groups and learning exchanges, representatives from participating countries along with transnational NGO partners had several opportunities to engage with each other. This study uses a combination of qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys with representatives from six countries and non-governmental organization involved in the CTI's regional activities to explore their perspectives on collaborative activities at the regional level. Results indicate that participants engaged in regional CTI activities valued the CTI's approach to marine conservation due to its potential to address shared concerns and raise awareness about the Coral Triangle region. In addition, this study finds that CTI activities created opportunities for social learning, which facilitated the development of collaborative relationships and the identification of common goals for marine resource management.
