Well, why don't we talk about Cross's innocent?
Grave of Maria... does that imply something? And it seems that he just come out from the ground. What do you think?
Well, why don't we talk about Cross's innocent?
Grave of Maria... does that imply something? And it seems that he just come out from the ground. What do you think?
hmm..or maybe it is some kind of ability to control souls...even those of noah...or atleast be able to control it in just a few seconds and be able to teleport to where that soul is^^
"thy will be done"
hmmm maybe controling the deads like Earl controls akuma. That would be awesome!
i'm wondering if Cross's Grave of Maria attack is a reference to Mary (as in the Virgin Mary) and if so, she wouldn't technically have a grave (since in Roman Catholic faith Mary was Assumed into heaven)....it was just a thought of mine...but either way Cross's Innocence is pretty kick-ass.
Cross's innocent's name is Grave of Maria. Grave is for the dead. So one of it's abilities probably is that it put it's ememy inside and let them "reborn", which will convert them.
i think tyki is right. but i also think it has the ability to travel through dimensions, and by looking at cross the innocence since to be a part of him...somewhat like allen's. but one thing i know it is an equipment type so literally speaking it is extremely powerful. but we just have to wait until the next chapter to see what happens
but why does it make him look like a crazy guy wit the skull mask?
Thats like asking why Allen's arm is the way it is. It is Cross' innocnece!
Top 5 manga: 1.One Piece, 2.Reborn, 3.D. Gray-man, 4.Fairy Tail, 5.BLEACH
I don't really know what to think of it and I probably won't try to guess...
But, this Grave of Maria seemed to remind me of the poster in Allen's room of the goblin holding the coffin on his back and walking.

HUNTINGTON - Ronald Percy Carpenter, age 71, passed away on Sept. 25, 2011. Ron was born July 28, 1940 to Percy and Rosemarie Claycomb Carpenter in Dunlo, Penn. He married Carla Oldham. After their divorce, he married Kay Fuller whom he also later divorced. He then married Joanne Pace on June 11, 1988 in Price, Utah.
Ron was an active member in Locals 6394 and 2176 of United Mine Workers of America serving on Health and Safety Committees. He worked for Wilberg Mine at the time of the disaster in 1984, and he was able to help with the rescue efforts. He was a member of Sinbad Radio Club, Huntington Lions Club, and the San Rafael Car Club.
Ron loved serving as an Assistant Scout Master of Den 304 for 11 years. He looked forward to putting up flags throughout Huntington every holiday. He was passionate about classic cars and had his own special way of restoring them. He enjoyed mowing grass, plowing snow, repairing small engines, and fixing lawn mowers for anyone in need. Ron also fixed bikes for children at Christmas time. We will miss his loud singing and his laughter. His last hours were spent doing what he loved: fishing, hunting, spending time in the outdoors, and, most especially, being with those he loved.
The family extends special thanks to North Sanpete Rescue Units, North Sanpete Hospital staff, and to those at the accident site for their compassionate care and service in Ron's time of need. Also to Dr. Glenn Etzel, his staff and the folks at Lincare for their compassion and care in Ron's behalf.
Ron is survived by his wife, Joanne; children: Cathy (Owen Knisely) Reighard of Beaverdale, Penn., Rose Liebal of Ft. Hood, Texas, Jodie Crum of Las Vegas, Nev., Jamie (Tab) Jensen of Cleveland, Utah, Ronald P. Carpenter, Jr. of Newcastle, Del., Colleen (Louis) Duman of Mineral Point, Penn., and Skylar Carpenter of Savannah, Ga.; a brother, Gary (Barbara) Carpenter of Midlothian, Va.; two sisters-in-law: Yvonne Carpenter of Maryland and Patricia Carpenter of North East, Maryland; 17 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Kenneth and Dale Carpenter.
Funeral services were held Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011, at 11 a.m. at Fausett Mortuary (720 N. Center St., Castle Dale). There was a viewing Friday, Sept. 30, from 6 - 8 p.m. and Saturday prior to the services from 10 - 10:45 a.m., both at the mortuary. Interment will be in the Price City Cemetery. Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Family and friends may sign the guest book and share memories of Ron at www.fausettmortuary.com.

So I was looking at them, both have the opposite eye covered.
They both are high level shinobi and both old. Madara is known to have lost part of his power and is weakened. I think the answer is obvious.
danzou is madara's brother.
yes they both have one EMS sharigan and one that's not.
root and the mist practice's are very similar so i figured there was a connection and while I was trying to figure out the connection i realized this.
also you have to figure how DID madara know what itachi pulled. he had to have someone inside, someone specific that would know that itachi threatened danzou (which could only be danzou).
their hair is similar and they both only use one eye..
and well simply put any theory about danzou being madara or something like that, all that evidence supports that its his brother.
and the fact that it makes so much more sense for it to be his brother than madara himself or just a friend.
i dont really need to get into detail since most have read every madara/danzou connection theory, so just take all that evidence and apply it here...
(really im just to lazy to type up and list all the reasons lol)

I have blue plastic pipe leading from the street into my house. I understand it is prone to failure. Where can I get information? David
David:---Go net find, and type in Polybutylene class action suit. This fund is running out of steam and money. There are some pretty stringent prerequisites in order to participate...better hurry......lots of luck...Ahr.
This type of plumbing pipe, often called PB, was installed in a limited number of homes beginning in the late 1970s. Some homeowners have had trouble with leaks. And if you redid the plumbing in your house, mobile home or other structure within the first 15 years of installation - or do so by Aug. 20, 1999 - you could receive 10 percent of the replacement cost, and 10 percent of any past damages caused by leaking.
PB pipe showed great promise because of its inherent flexibility, which reduced labor costs. The product has been sold under the trade names Qest, Thermoguard, Flex-Temp and others.
The Spencer settlement grew out of a national class-action lawsuit (Spencer vs. Shell Oil) filed in Alabama. DuPont, which supplied plastic raw material used to manufacture plumbing parts, agreed to pay $120 million. (There also are some larger settlements related to PB plumbing.)
For further information, call the Spencer Class Facility, 1-800-490-6997, or write to it at: P.O. Box 81448, Atlanta, GA 30366. There also is a Web site, which has photographs: http://www.spencerclass.com
The Spencer class-action settlement does not cover metal insert fittings used in PB systems. If you have this type of fitting, contact: Brasscraft Claims Facility, 3600 Orchard Hill Place, Novi, MI 48376.
What if you have PB pipe on the outside of your home? This is the black (but sometimes blue or white) pipe that brings water from the water meter to your home, regardless of the type of interior plumbing system used. Most houses in our area built in the last 30 years or so have PB water-service pipes.
If you don't have PB, your house has galvanized metal (if the house is older) or copper (if you specifically requested it). This PB pipe also has had its share of troubles, although not of the frequency that the interior systems have had.
If you were just thinking to yourself that for every product failure there is an accompanying class-action suit, you would be right. This one is a biggie, too, since it covers so many potential claimants. Meet the Cox class, a $950 million settlement covering exterior PB plumbing-pipe failures.
If you had a leak in your exterior PB water-service pipe between Aug. 21, 1995, and Aug. 21, 1997, you are eligible for 100 percent replacement cost.
Cox class settlement information is available through the Consumer Plumbing Recovery Center, 800-356-3496. The Web site is: http://www.kinsella.com/polybutylene
The center helps consumers get through the legal maze and avoid overlapping claims. Its address is: P.O. Box 869006, Plano, TX 75086-9006.
Do not confuse PB pipe with PVC or CPVC plastic pipes used in many homes. CPVC is a rigid plastic pipe with glued fittings, used more extensively than PB in this area for interior systems. I am not aware of any problems with this material.
Q: I want to add a small water heater near a remote sink. I have heard that you shouldn't feed warm water into a water heater and this has me concerned.
A: This must be one of those pesky Internet rumors. There is no problem feeding warm water into a water heater.
Q: I just read your article regarding gas heating. I am interested in a new house that has propane. I know nothing about this fuel. What am I getting into?
A: Natural gas and propane are very similar in that it is relatively simple to convert from one to the other. You can use the same supply piping and exhaust systems, and most other appliances you may have. To convert you simply change a spring loaded valve and adjust the "water column," which is the gas pressure, to the manufacturer's specs for that type fuel.
You will need to consider whether you want to own or lease the propane storage tank, although you may be contractually obligated for a period of time by whatever arrangements the builder made.

All About Cholangiocarcinoma
What is cholangiocarcinoma?
Cholangiocarcinoma is cancer of the bile duct. A bile duct carries bile from the liver to the small intestine. About 95% of cholangiocarcinomas are classified histologically (what type of tumor cells are seen when the tumor is examined under a microscope) as adenocarcinomas. Cholangiocarcinoma develops in the epithelial cells which line the bile ducts. In general, cholangiocarcinomas occur in the bile ducts within the liver (intrahepatic), the bile ducts just outside of the liver (perihilar) and distal bile ducts. The majority of cholangiocarcinomas (about 60-70%) appear in the perihilar region. About 25% arise from the distal ductal system and 5-10% from the intrahepatic ductal system. Cholangiocarcinomas do not include cancers that arise from the Ampulla of Vater or the gallbladder. Cholangiocarcinomas that involve the area where the right and left ducts meet to form the common bile duct have a special name (Klatskin tumors).
Cholangiocarcinomas are rare tumors. It is estimated that approximately 2000-3000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma annually. Approximately 2% of all cancer diagnoses in the United States will originate in the liver or bile ducts, with a diagnosis incidence of about 7.9 per 100,000 individuals. There is a higher prevalence of cholangiocarcinoma in the Middle East and Asia due to a higher prevalence of liver flukes, a common parasitic infection, and an increased incidence of biliary stones. Cholangiocarcinoma tends to occur in older persons. It is estimated that two out of every three people diagnosed are over the age of 65. There is data that suggests that the incidence of cholangiocarcinoma and liver cancer is slowing rising.
What is bile and the biliary system?
Bile is a greenish substance made in the liver, and stored in the gall bladder. Bile assists in the digestion of fats by breaking them down into amino acids, fat soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D,E and K) as well as disposed of hemoglobin from old red blood cells which are no longer functional.
The network of ducts which transport the bile is known as the biliary system. This system can be broken down into several sections:
The ducts which are inside of the liver (intrahepatic)
Small bile ductules in the liver combine with each other to form larger ducts known as intrahepatic bile ducts. The liver can be grossly divided into two lobes, the left and the right. As the intrahepatic ducts combine with each other they form two large ducts known as the right and left hepatic ducts. The left and right hepatic ducts come together to form the common hepatic duct.
The ducts immediately outside of the liver (perihilar)
The gallbladder sits just below the liver and the cystic duct delivers bile into and out of the gallbladder. As the common hepatic duct exits the liver it connects with the cystic duct to form the common bile duct.
The distal biliary tree
The common bile duct enters the pancreas. It combines with the pancreatic duct. Secretions from both the pancreas and the common bile duct exit into the duodenum through the Ampulla of Vater.
Risk factors and prevention
Risk factors associated with cholangiocarcinoma include increased age, obesity, hepatitis and a family history. There are also certain medical conditions that can increase your risk for cholangiocarcinoma including primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), ulcerative colitis, cholechochal cysts and biliary infections (like those that occur in typhoid carriers). There is also a possible link between exposure to certain chemicals, nitrosamines, dioxin, asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls and cholangiocarcinoma.
There are few recommendations for prevention of cholangiocarcinoma. Experts recommend decreasing exposure to the previously mentioned chemicals. Hepatitis vaccinations may decrease risk of cholangiocarcinoma. It is also important to be sure to eat well, exercise regularly, quit smoking (or don't start!) and see your primary care physician annually for a routine physical exam and lab tests.
What screening tests are available?
At this time, there are no tests that have been shown to be effective in screening for or detecting cholangiocarcinoma. However, there are several blood tests that can be used to help monitor treatment efficacy in cholangiocarcinoma. These tests include the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) and the Cancer Antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9).
CEA screens for a protein that is usually associated with fetal development, but has also been shown to be elevated in people with certain types of cancer; most often colon cancer. CEA can also be elevated in some lung, breast, pancreas, ovarian cancers, and cholangiocarcinomas. A CEA screening is not a full proof test, as several non-cancerous medical conditions, including cirrhosis, infection, pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel disease, can cause an elevated CEA. Smoking is also known to increase blood levels of CEA.
Studies have investigated the use of CA 19-9 in detecting cholangiocarcinoma. Elevated levels of CA 19-9 are most commonly found in people with pancreatic cancer, though it can also be elevated in colon and stomach cancers and cholangiocarcinoma. Several non-cancerous medical conditions, including cirrhosis, pancreatitis, cholangitis, and gallstones, can also cause an elevated CA 19-9.
There have been several challenges in the application of CA 19-9 to cholangiocarcinoma, including the difficulty in determining how high a CA 19-9 needs to be in order to indicate if a cancer is present. Currently, the best use for CA 19-9 may not be as a screening test for cholangiocarcinoma, but rather as a way to check if the disease is responding to treatments. There are also studies underway to use the results from both the CEA and the CA 19-9 tests to screen people at high risk for cholangiocarcinoma, such as those with PSC.
Imaging studies (x-rays, CT scans, MRI's) that are used when the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma is suspected have not been found to be effective screening tools.
What are the signs and symptoms of cholangiocarcinoma?
Most symptoms associated with cholangiocarcinoma result from the obstruction of the biliary tree by the tumor. Symptoms include painless jaundice (the presence of too much bilirubin which results in a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), itchy skin, weight loss, fever (in conjunction with biliary tree infection), gray/clay colored stool and dark urine.
During physical examination, your physician may detect an enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly) or may feel a mass in the upper right part of the abdomen. Infrequently, the gallbladder may be enlarged and can also be felt during physical exam.
How is cholangiocarcinoma diagnosed?
If cholangiocarcinoma is suspected, several imaging studies can be used to identify the tumor. An endoscopic or laparoscopic ultrasound uses sound waves to image the biliary tree and check for abnormalities. An endoscopic ultrasound is performed by inserting a camera through the mouth and into the small intestine where is can be placed closed to the tumor. The ultrasound can then determine the size of the tumor and the depth to which the tumor has invaded into the surrounding tissue. A laparoscopic ultrasound is performed during a surgical procedure, where a camera is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen. Again, the ultrasound is placed near the tumor and used to determine tumor size and depth. During both of these types of ultrasound procedures, instruments can be used to take a small sample of tissue (biopsy), which is sent to a pathologist to determine the tumor type.
Another specialized endoscopic technique known as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can be used to find blockages or compressions in the bile ducts which may be related to cholangiocarcinoma. An ERCP is similar to a regular endoscopy procedure in that a small camera on a tube is inserted through the mouth and slowly advanced to the Ampulla of Vater, where the bile drains into the small intestine. Then dye is injected. The dye is observed via x-ray and reveals areas in the biliary tree that are blocked or narrowed. During ERCP, small samples of the bile duct cells are taken using a small brush to gather cells inside the ducts. Brushings can detect cells associated with cholangiocarcinoma 35-70% of the time. During ERCP, the physician can also place a stent to relieve the blockage.
Cholangiography is another method to visualize the biliary tree. During this procedure, enlarged biliary ducts are identified using ultrasound. A needle is then inserted through the skin into the biliary duct and an x-ray visible dye is injected. The dye identifies obstructions in the biliary ducts that may be cause by cholangiocarcinoma.
Another method is cholangioscopy. In this procedure, an endoscope is used to identify the Ampulla of Vater. Then a smaller scope is fed through the larger scope and passed into the Ampulla of Vater and then the biliary tree. The smaller scope can visualize obstructions and allow for biopsy samples to be taken.
Identifying how much tissue the tumor has invaded, and if it has spread to other organs, assists your treatment team in determining the stage of the cholangiocarcinoma. This information helps your team determine the best course of treatment for you.
There are several imaging studies that help your treatment team visualize the size of the tumor, as well as check for possible metastasis, or spread to other organs. A CT (computerized tomography) scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis is typically ordered. During the CT scan, x-ray views are taken from different angles. Then a computer processes the pictures and creates cross sectional images of the bones, organs and tissues in your body. CT scans can also be used to determine if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. Contrast dye is often given prior to the study, either by mouth or IV (intravenous) to help clarify the pictures of specific areas imaged by the CT scan.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a test that uses a large magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to take images of parts of the body. MRI can also help determine the size of the tumor and if it has spread. As with CT scans, IV dye may also be used to produce better images. MRIs have some advantages compared with CT scans for imaging of the biliary tree, as they may produce clearer images and do not utilize radiation as CT scan does. However, some patients cannot tolerate MRI due to claustrophobia. A special type of MRI called an MRI MRCP can be performed to visualize the biliary tree and identify tumors.
PET (positron emission tomography) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance, called a tracer, to detect disease in the body. Whereas a CT or MRI scan will show organ structure and blood flow, a PET scan shows us how organs and tissues are working or not working. PET scans also help your healthcare team identify benign versus cancerous masses.
After imaging and lab testing are completed, your healthcare team will assign a stage to your tumor.
Stage 0: In this stage, the cholangiocarcinoma only involves the lining of the bile ducts and has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs.
Stage IA: Cholangiocarcinomas that invade the bile duct.
Stage IIB: Cholangiocarcinomas that have penetrated through the bile duct to the surrounding fat tissue or liver, but have not spread to lymph nodes or other organs.
Stage IIIA: Cholangiocarcinomas that have invaded into adjacent organs, such as the liver, or surrounding fat, or if the tumor has invaded a branch of the portal vein or hepatic (liver) artery.
Stage IIIB: Cholangiocarinomas that have invaded into adjacent organs, such as the liver and surrounding fat, or if the tumor has invaded a branch of the portal vein or hepatic (liver) artery and lymph nodes are involved.
Stage IV: Cholangiocarcinomas that have spread to other distant organs.
See Appendix A [CV1] below for further information regarding TNM staging guidelines that your team may use to help describe your tumor as well as to determine treatment plans. The TNM results are compiled to come up with the stages above.
Treatment of cholangiocarcinoma
Treatments are generally based on the stage of the disease. For people with stage 0 or Stage 1 disease, surgery alone is generally recommended. However, people rarely present with early stage disease because they often do not have symptoms until the tumor has progressed further. Generally, for higher stage cholangiocarcinomas, the ability to resect the disease becomes the most important predictor of survival. Surgery is recommended if imaging studies suggest that the disease is resectable and there is no evidence of cancer spread. After resection, if visible portions of tumor have been left behind, chemotherapy and radiation are generally recommended. In unresectable disease, chemotherapy and radiation may be used, as well as surgery or stent placement to bypass obstructions in the bile duct and relieve symptoms.
Surgical removal of the tumor is the only curative treatment for cholangiocarcinoma. The goal of surgery is to remove as much of the tumor as possible and achieve tumor-free surgical margins. The larger the percentage of tumor left behind, the higher the risk for cancer recurrence. Intrahepatic (tumors within the liver) and perihilar tumors (tumors near the liver) are difficult to resect completely, with tumor free surgical margins obtained in only 20 to 40% of surgeries.
Not all individuals with cholangiocarcinoma can have surgery. Generally, surgery is not possible if the large blood vessels which travel next to the common bile duct, the hepatic artery and the portal vein, are surrounded by tumor, and/or if the tumor has grown into the liver or has metastasized to the liver, lymph nodes or abdominal cavity.
The location of the tumor greatly influences the extent of surgical resection necessary, however all are extensive procedures, which require an experienced surgical care team and significant recuperation time. Due to the complexity of these interventions, serious post-surgical complication rates can be as high as 25-45%.
Intrahepatic (in the liver) tumors are generally treated with resection of the tumor, which can require the removal of an entire lobe of the liver. Perihilar (near the liver) tumors often require resection of a portion of the liver, bile duct, and gallbladder. Additionally, the removal of part of the pancreas and small intestine may also be indicated. Distal tumors (those located further from the liver) can generally be treated with resection of a portion of the small bowel or pancreas.
If the tumor is found to be unresectable, the surgical team may perform a surgical bypass of the blocked portion of the biliary ducts. The procedure involves connecting the portion of the bile duct before the obstruction with a portion of the bile duct beyond the obstruction. This type of procedure allows drainage of the bile alleviating the symptoms of jaundice. However this procedure can have a high incidence of post-surgical complications and studies have suggested that biliary stenting is as effective as surgical bypass in providing relief from obstructive jaundice. Thus, in most cases where imaging studies, such as CT scans, suggest inoperable (unresectable) disease, stent placement is preferred. Up to 50-90% of people with cholangiocarcinomas have tumors which are unresectable when they are diagnosed. In these patients, the primary treatment goal is preventing further blockage of the biliary tree and symptom relief.
A stent can be placed in 70-90% of these cases. A stent is a small flexible plastic or metal tube that is inserted into the bile duct and allows bile to flow again into the small intestine. Stent placement is typically not an invasive procedure and can often be done during ERCP. Metal stents are preferred because they are able to keep ducts open longer, but plastic stents are easier to adjust. Stent placement is a palliative measure, it does not cure the underlying cancer diagnosis, but provides symptom management. A stent is not always a permanent solution to biliary blockage. The tumor can grow into the stent and cause another blockage in the bile ducts. Sometimes radiation is used to prevent this from happening.
Some treatment centers may consider liver transplantation in combination with chemotherapy and radiation for treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. However, this is a controversial procedure that yields minimal favorable outcomes and does not appear to impact overall survival rates significantly.
The goal of radiation treatment after surgery is to decrease the chances of tumor recurrence, particularly if there are positive margins. However, radiation's role as an additional treatment in tumors which have been completely resected is unclear, with studies indicating that it is beneficial and others suggesting that it may be harmful. Radiation for cholangiocarcinoma can be given externally using a machine called a linear accelerator or internally using a technique known as brachytherapy.
External beam radiation delivers radiation similar to that used in X-ray machines. However, the energy of the radiation used in linear accelerators is much higher. There are also side effects associated with external beam radiation including skin irritation, nausea and fatigue.
In brachytherapy, a catheter, (flexible tube) is placed in the area where the tumor was. A radioactive source then travels through the catheter to the area where the tumor was/is and delivers radiation directly to that specific area. In inoperable cholangiocarcinoma after stent placement, brachytherapy has been shown to increase the length of time that previously placed stents remain functional (patent) by preventing tumor cells from growing into the stent and blocking the flow of bile. However, there are potentially serious side effects from brachytherapy including cholangitis (infection of the bile ducts), stricture formation (scarring of the bile duct leading to obstruction), and ulcer formation in the intestine.
Chemotherapy can be used alone or in combination with surgery and radiation. There are several different chemotherapy options for cholangiocarcinoma. These treatment options are not curative, but offer palliation (symptom management/relief) and control of further tumor progression. Various combinations of chemotherapeutic agents are used in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma, including 5-FU, mitomycin-C, gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, cisplatin and doxorubicin. Chemotherapy side effects vary based on how the medication is administered (IV vs oral) as well on the types of chemotherapy agents utilized.
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) delivers chemotherapy to a targeted tumor area, while preserving the health of surrounding tissues and organs. This procedure is most commonly used in intrahepatic (inside the liver) cholangiocarcinomas. During TACE, the tumor is targeted in two ways. First, a very high concentration of chemotherapy is delivered directly into the tumor. Second, the blood supply to the tumor is then cut off, entrapping the anti-cancer drugs within the targeted site. The tumor is then denied oxygen and other nutrients it needs to continue to grow. This procedure is performed by an interventional radiologist, in conjunction with your primary oncology team.
Follow up
For patients who have had surgical resection, further treatment options may include radiation therapy and chemotherapy. For all patients, surveillance imaging is considered every 6 months for 2 years post resections if clinically indicated.
Future Directions
Research into the treatment of cholangiocarcinomas continues to develop and evolve. Some options being studied include the use of targeted chemotherapeutic agents including Nexavar, Tarceva, Avastin and Erbitux. These drugs block certain mechanisms that contribute to tumor growth.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is also being studied to treat cholangiocarcinoma. With this type of treatment, a medication known as a photosensitizer, is utilized. When the photosensitizer absorbs light it creates oxygen free radicals which are toxic to the tumor and can destroy the tumor cells and structure. PDT has been studied in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma and has been shown to be effective in maintaining the function (patency) of stents. Additionally, several small studies have shown an improvement in bilirubin levels (better drainage of the bile ducts), quality of life, and survival with the use of PDT.

Lawmakers: Obama Watering Down Iran Sanctions, PA Punishment
Latest update: December 30th, 2013
There are some in Congress who are fed up not only with the unilateral actions taken by the Arab Palestinians to subvert the agreed-upon path to Middle East conflict resolution, but also with this administration's repeated efforts to create unlevel footing such that Israel is doomed to stumble and fall on the world stage.
Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-CO5), is one long-time supporter of Israel who is deeply unhappy about recent events that endanger the Jewish State, and the reluctance of this administration to aggressively block – and sometimes is the one that needs blocking – of those actions.
In response to the Arab Palestinian effort to upgrade their status at the United Nations from non-state to state non-member observer, pro-Israel, pro-peace (the real kind) members of the U.S. Senate moved to impose consequences on the Arab Palestinians for thumbing their noses at the Obama administration and Congress and for shredding the remnants of the Oslo agreements.
Even before the U.N. Resolution passed, Sens. John Barrasso (R-Wy.), Mike Lee (R-Utah) and James Inhofe (R-Okla. ) introduced amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act to cut funding to the PA and to close the PLO mission in Washington, D.C., which is what the Arabs were told would happen if they moved forward with their U.N. ploy. Pro-Israel groups such as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the National Council of Young Israel and the Zionist Organization of America condemned the U.N. resolution and urged that stiff consequences be imposed.
However, when the NDAA was reported out of the Senate in early December, the amendments designed to enforce consequences on the PA for its unilateral U.N. action had been stripped from the bill. There was some speculation at the time that it was pressure from the White House, or even that it was left-wing anti-Israel political heft that forced lawmakers to remove those measures.
According to Washington, D.C. journalist Alana Goodman, the amendments were removed because of Senate procedural rules. She wrote,
The amendment was dropped from the bill because of a technicality in Senate procedure, according to Senator Lindsey Graham's office, which sponsored it.
"Once cloture was invoked, the amendment was not eligible for a vote because it was not technically germane to the legislation," said Graham spokesperson Kevin Bishop.
Cong. Lamborn believes that "the NDAA is too far along in the process – it is going to conference, probably by next week" – to affect aid to the PA through that vehicle, but he told The Jewish Press that concerned members are already working on vehicles to impose the necessary consequences on the Arab Palestinians.
But Lamborn is also deeply concerned with continued efforts by the administration to "water down" the latest sanctions on Iran. While U.S. administration cheerleaders continue to extol their efforts in passing "biting" sanctions, there have been reports that even in the latest efforts to sanction – i.e. punish, deter, prevent wrongdoing – Iran for moving forward on its path towards nuclear weaponization, this U.S. administration insists on weakening the efforts.
The latest sanctions which passed unanimously through the Senate on Nov. 30 as part of the NDAA, would blacklist Iran's energy, port, shipbuilding and shipping sectors, and impose new barriers to Iran's ability to obtain insurance for those industries. It would also greatly increase U.S. support for human rights in Iran and impose harsh penalties on those who divert humanitarian assistance to other purposes.
But Tommy Vietor, the National Security Council's Spokesman, explained that it is "the White House's view the sanctions aren't needed and aren't helpful at this time," according to Josh Rogin in "White House Opposed New Iran Sanctions," in Foreign Policy.
Journalist Rosie Gray posted in an article the administration's redlined draft of the Senate amendments to the current Iran sanctions bill she said were submitted to the Armed Services Committee of the House and Senate. One of the most significant proposed changes is the doubling of the time in which the sanctions would take effect, from the 90 days which the Senate proposed, to 180 days. Gray said the document was provided to her by a Democratic source.
Gray writes,
The bill as passed by the Senate would bar transactions with businesses owned by Iran's government, which are on a Department of the Treasury list of "specially designated nationals," or SDN's. The administration wants to prevent this part from applying to any of these business entities that aren't already flagged for terrorism, human rights abuses or proliferation. The administration also wants to remove sanctions from metal providers.
Perhaps of greatest concern is that the administration continues to insert or offer additional waivers to countries, thereby undercutting what other wise might actually be biting sanctions.Lori Lowenthal Marcus

Imported and Older Comments:
In November, the American public had a chance to get rid of Obama. Instead, what do the people do, elect the same man wasted hundreds of billions of dollars by throwing money at corrupt companies like freddie mac, fanny may, AIG, and others with no way to track where those funds went and what were they used for, not coming up with a viable plan to improve the economy or decrease unemployment. But, for me the most egregious act from the Obama administration is his maltreatment of Israel and his insatiable appetite for appeasment of the Arabs. But, the American public voted for Obama for another term and if you think the first four years were bad, it will pale in comparison to what Obama has in store for us in the next four years. This is why I get very agitated at Prime Minister Netanyahu for not being aggressive enough in standing up for Israel's rights. When I found out Netanyahu agreed to stop the recent "pillar of defense" operation I was furious. What Netanyahu should have said is while I appreciate the concern from the administration, this operation will commence until every last vestige of Hamas is rooted out. There have been thousands of innocent Israelis who have been murdered by this lunatic fringe terrorist group and it will finally be removed to ensure the well being of Israel and her people. If Obama doesn't like it, then let him go to therapy to deal with it. As a result of listening to Obama, violence increased and the Arabs consider it a win for them. Israel is a independent nation and must act accordingly. The same thing in deciding to strike Iran, Netanyahu backed down. Unfortunately, Obama is here for the next four years, it will be incumbent on Israel to stand firm on their beliefs and actions, regardless of what the U.S., UN, EU, and anyone else thinks. When you are running a nation it's not a popularity contest, all decisions should be made exclusively by Israel, that will help to ensure the survival of Israel, a Jewish state, and the only one we got, let's not destroy it with poor decisions.
It is not for us here in the diaspora to second guess the Prime Minister of Israel on security matters. There is no real evidence that he ever wanted a full scale war in Gaza this year.
These 'sanctions aren't needed and aren't helpful?' What the hell does that mean? This is a very dangerous man who is sitting in the W.H.
This is what the Jews of America voted for so now live with it!
At the risk of repeating myself: Obama is Israel's biggest enemy in America. And with all the Americans that seem to be unhappy with hin, how did he get re-elected?
iran will get the bomb and obama will do nothing.
iran will get the bomb and obama will do nothing.
North Korea just ignored U.S. warning and launched its missile.. Both Afghanistan and Iraq are under U.S. occupation/control and both still do not recognize Israel. Nobody listen to the U.S. anymore
One of the tragic outcomes of the Obama election is the "dropping of Israel" by the U.S. administration. We, the people – love, support and stand with Israel… but all aid, military help, etc. is tied to Obama. He is no friend of Israel, but don't feel bad or left out – he isn't a friend to Americans either! We are heading into the most dangerous and destructive (within) period in American history. I hope that, along with Israel, we can ALL hang in there and survive. The take-over by the Muslim Brotherhood will come to haunt us all – and by all – I mean the total world.
Now that President Obama has been re-elected will he keep his promises made during the debate with Romney about keeping a military option to attack Iran's nuclear weapons program on the table?
Not if he appoints Chuck Hagel.
Chuck Hagel is the wrong person to be Defense Secretary at this time.
According to the Obama Administration a military option to attack Iran if it does not stop its nuclear weapons program after some brief negotiations is on the table.
This is what the President promised the American people during the election.
But Hagel is only committed to negotiations and has no commitment to a military option on the table.
Iran has always cheated on all its previous agreements. It only even talks about any compliance issues after it has been exposed with its fingers in the cookie jar. So any agreement with Iran is really worthless.
Iran will never give up its program. Even if it wanted to , it cannot go to it's people and say "Sorry we put you through years of sanctions we were wrong."
So if President Obama appoints Hegel, and he means what he says, How can Hagel lead the attack on Iran that will be the only way to stop its program?
Voter fraud!!!!
A lot of Jews didn't vote for him, but even if all the Jews didn't vote for him, he would have been elected by any means necessary! Especially voter fraud!
There is no difference between the US of obama and nazi germany 1930s.

About this Collection
This collection offers access to the four Walt Whitman notebooks and his cardboard butterfly that were among 10 notebooks which went missing from the Library of Congress after a 1942 wartime evacuation of treasures. The five items were returned on February 24, 1995, leaving six notebooks remain missing.
The Thomas B. Harned collection of the Walt Whitman papers spans the period 1842 to 1937, with most of the items dated from 1855 to 1892. Harned, an attorney and one of Whitman's three literary executors, donated it in 1918. The collection later became a magnet for other major Whitman donations much larger than the Harned/Whitman collection. The whole collection consists of correspondence, poetry and prose manuscripts, notes and notebooks, proofs and offprints, printed matter, and miscellaneous items.
The four notebooks shown here feature personal philosophy, poetry trial lines, notes on Civil War scenes, notations on needs of wounded soldiers in Washington hospitals, names and addresses.
About Whitman's Notebooks
Thomas Harned donated to the Library of Congress a total of forty original Walt Whitman notebooks. There are others in the Feinberg-Whitman collection in the Library of Congress and several each in collections at Duke University, Yale University, New York Public Library, and other public repositories, as well as some which are still in private hands. It is safe to estimate that Whitman created at least one hundred notebooks of greatly varying sizes and descriptions. Some are basically commercial notebooks in which he wrote with any implement at hand (pencil stub, pen, crayon) and which he amended at will by cutting out and replacing pages and pasting in clippings, photographs or scraps of manuscripts. Others are home-made notebooks which he created by folding and/or cutting sheets of paper and fastening with a pin or ribbon. A few come down to us as loose sheets.
In these typical writer's notebooks, Whitman jotted down thoughts in prose and expressions in poetry. The earliest examples include journalistic entries with ideas for articles he might write. His first trial lines for what would soon become part of the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass appear in an early notebook (LC #80) which bears an internal date of 1847; it was his habit, however, to use these notebooks over a number of years, filling in blank pages at will, and the remarkable trial flights of verse for "Song of Myself" in it are likely to date closer to 1854.
In the Civil War years, he was more apt to carry tiny notebooks in his shirt pocket in which he took notes about the needs and wants of wounded soldiers whom he visited and comforted in the hospitals in and near Washington, D.C. In these he noted what treats a soldier might like on the next visit — raspberry syrup, rice-pudding, notepaper and pencil — or notes and addresses of family to whom Whitman would then write in place of the gravely wounded or dead young man. Occasionally he would also describe scenes on the battle-field, probably from reports from others in the camps.
In later years, he used the notebooks for literary lecture notes, drafts of poems, and recording of national events, such as how New York City looked the day after Lincoln's assassination. Many notebooks have become known by their very partial contents, when in reality each book is apt to cover many subjects. The wide range of topics in the other notebooks demonstrate the great diversity of subjects included in the poet's reading and range of interests: English history and literature; Lucretius, Shakespeare and Spanish literary masterpieces; physique and the science of swimming; faith, death and organized religion; the Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Long Island; oratory and lecturing; his 1869 trip to Boston; notes on Columbus and on Lincoln; slavery, democracy and the meaning of America. Whitman cut out many pages of these notebooks which apparently had been used earlier for more mundane purposes, such as accounting. In re-sewing the books to incorporate some loose pages, the Library's conservator kept the stubs of the cut pages intact. Thus, such missing pages are included in the numbering but bear no text.
Notebooks Lost in 1942 and Found in 1995
Of the notebooks missing from the Harned collection, the ones returned in 1995 are Library of Congress catalog number 80, 86, 94, and 101, and the cardboard butterfly is number 220. In the Library of Congress illustrated 1954 pamphlet, "Ten Notebooks and a Cardboard Butterfly Missing from the Walt Whitman Papers of the Library of Congress," they are numbered 1, 2, 5, 7, and 11. Most of their content was published, based on research done before their disappearance from the Library, in the following: Emory Holloway, The Uncollected Poetry and Prose of Walt Whitman(1921); Clifton Joseph Furness, Walt Whitman's Workshop (1928); and Charles I. Glicksberg, Walt Whitman and the Civil War (1933). The fullest edition of their texts may be found in Walt Whitman: Notebooks and Unpublished Prose Manuscripts, ed. Edward F. Grier (New York University Press, 1984), in volumes 1 and 2 of 6 vols.

I would love to see Guyver and/or Rurouni Kenshin remade.
- Claymore (complete re-animation since it lacks some features that are in the manga)
- Highschool of the dead (for the lulz) ~going to be animated~
- Rosario + Vampire (and this time it better follow the manga)
- Psyren
- World Embryo
- Gantz (they simply have to continue it T_T)
- D. Gray Man (gawd, I wish they would of continued it)
- Tenjou Tenge
- 07 Ghost (would like a season 2 for more of the lulz)
- Beelzebub
- Soul Eater
- Ao No Exorcist
would of added berserk to the list, but the season 2 is already on its way w00t!
I would also love to see an Ao No Exorcist anime (already decided on who would be awesome at voicing Rin! :3) but obviously that's a loooong way off, considering we're only up to chapter 12. XD
I'm surprised Psyren hasn't been animated yet... there's already 100 chapters done and it seems to be doing well... I didn't think Durarara or Tegami Bachi were as popular yet they've already been animated... o_O
Let's get this party started.
I don't mind seeing Ane Doki, Mx0, Flame of Recca and Sanctuary animated although I'd prefer to see Sanctuary made into a live film with a large budget.
Animated: Psyren
Re-Animated: Gantz & Air Gear

Ereaders don't give the same 'warm & fuzzy' feeling
I vowed I would never abandon my paperbacks, but I broke down and bought an ereader in January. Why? Because I'm an avid library patron and my LIBRARY forced my hand. I discovered that some of the newer titles I wanted to read were ONLY available from the library as downloads! It was either buy an ereader or buy the book from the local bookstore. My ereader is convenient to a point -- I don't have to wait for the library to open to get a book. On the other hand, a paperback doesn't have to be recharged. I can only loan an ebook from my library for two weeks (it's three if I take out a paperback) and there isn't any way to renew an ebook if I need more than two weeks to finish it. And, somehow, curling up with a cup of tea and my ereader just doesn't give me the same warm & fuzzy feeling as settling down with a good old-fashioned book.
Ereader vs. Tradition
I resisted the urge to get an ereader for a long time, until my wife surprised me with a Kindle for my birthday last year. I am an avid reader and own over 2000 "old fashioned" books...from hardcover to paperback in my library at home. To me, there's nothing like the smell of a good old leather bound book, or the crinkle of the pages as they are turned. That being said, when my wife presented me with my Kindle, I immediately fell in love with the portability and the amount of books I could download. I have since purchased a Kindle Fire. I've not completely switched over, as I still enjoy buying old books, but I do like the ereader format a lot more than I ever expected I would!
Ereaders vs. Tradition
I listened to your program this a.m. & also read 5-6 books per week - I do get them from the library - so don't have books all overs my house - I am considering a Kindle - so that when I have finished the books I have at home - and can'tget to the library - I would use it as a back-up (otherwise I might read the dictionary - LOL)

By Warne and Zenna Linton
Due to circumstances beyond our control Zenna and I made the decision to move back to Minnesota. The decision to make the move is in regards to Zenna's health. She is now in the stage where she requires 24-hour care. We felt we would have more family support by living near our son and my brother.
This was not an easy decision to make, I assure you. The 20 years we have lived in Emery County has been very rewarding for both of us. People of Emery County, as a whole, appreciate each other and go out of their way to help their fellow man. We are leaving behind many cherished and dear friends and relatives.
I thoroughly enjoyed my 10 years of teaching at Castle Dale Elementary. The staff, parents and students at Castle Dale Elementary are special. I enjoyed the 10 years I served as chairman of the Emery County Republican Party. Zenna and I enjoyed our involvement in politics. We met many interesting people.
We are grateful to the many friends and relatives who came and helped us sort and load our belongings. It was my desire to spend time seeing as many friends and relatives as possible, however, my brother was anxious to be on the road. It was a good idea as we were just ahead of a snowstorm in Colorado.
We have enjoyed the opportunity of living in Emery County and hope we have been an asset to the citizens of the county.

EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.
Use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update your registration information with a new name or address, or register with a political party.
Note: If you wish to vote absentee and are a uniformed service member or family member or a citizen living outside the U.S., contact the Federal Voting Assistance Program to register to vote.

EAC has several projects under way to assist states in serving military and overseas citizens who register and vote absentee under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. Learn more
The IEEE 1622 Working Group is accepting public comments for its draft Standard for Voting Equipment Electronic Data Interchange. Go here to review the draft standard and to submit comments.
The draft standard defines common data interchange formats for blank ballot distribution to facilitate the casting of ballots by military and overseas voters. The draft standard is being developed primarily to meet the requirements of Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) and the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act. Please note that the current scope does not include the return of cast ballots by electronic means.
The draft is the initial step in developing a complete set of international standards specifying electronic data interchange formats used by components of the voting system for exchange of electronic data (also referred to as "common data format standards"). Subsequent standards will address other requirements for electronic data interchange formats used by components of voting systems for exchange of electronic data.
EAC has several projects underway to assist states in serving military and overseas citizens. Learn more.

Title says it all.
Title says it all.
Yes, Yes they are and its kinda killing Naruto for me by trying to figure out whats going to happen all the time, but I just cant help it sometimes (the theories are pretty good too occationally). I tried not reading anything one week and then I read the Naruto chapter for that week and it was awesome, I actually liked reading it again but then I fell off the wagon again and am binging on theories once again.
Trying to uncover the mystery of Naruto is whats killing it for some people...
Im going to just live in the watercooler from now on and stop reading theories.........maybe
A pie in the sky?
yes, they are.
The mass of Naruto theories got excessive a long time ago, now they're mostly just absurd
Why don't more people read these mangas?
It's pretty ridiculous at the amount of theories.
The Bleach board has like, one theory. And none in the One Piece board. >_>
I have no problem with well thought out theories, ones with actual proof behind them. Unfortunately they seem to be vastly outnumbered by "i fink dis hapun cuz i dun no but der lodz ov pruf." theories. That's why I haven't posted anything I've thought of, none of it can be backed up with a decent amount of proof.
Remember kids, every time you make a ridiculous speculation Jesus punches a kitten in the face.
every one has theories and these Discussion Boards just give them a place to share their ideas some of them are really good some of them are wildly Imaginative however it does not stop us from posting replays to correcting the strayed belittle them or just laugh our ass off at times.
Come on lighten up a little.
Naruto theories getting a bit excessive? here is one
Kurenai Yuhi is Kakashi baby Mama!. ...lol...
Conspiracy theory
Finally Ekess has Come back to Mangashare
Finally Ekess has Come back to Boredom Zone
Finally Ekess has Come back to The Corupted wish game
Finally Ekess has Come back Home.!
Spoiler!MangashareSpoiler!ForumsSpoiler!General DiscussionSpoiler!Boredom ZoneSpoiler!The Corupted wish gameSpoiler!OrSpoiler!
MangaShareSpoiler!General Manga / AnimeSpoiler!NarutoSpoiler!WhereSpoiler!AreSpoiler!YouSpoiler!???
The Perfect Analyzation.
By all means, the amount of Naruto theories out there are spurting crap of the nine hells. The amount of idiocy serves as a indication of the dark side of our human evolution regarding the great contrast between reality and the inner mind set of an average human(male). However look at the bright side, at least the amount of crap do serve as much needed exercise for the mind(poking fun at them) and a break from all the basket ball games-which is why I am here, yet never joining any Naruto discussion.

Virgin Blue To Launch Direct Alice Springs â Adelaide Flights12/08/2004
$99* For 99 Seats For 9 Days On Every Flight In November
Virgin Blue has today announced it will begin services between Adelaide and Alice Springs from 31 October 2004, providing a high quality, low fare alternative between the two cities.
The South Australian capital has long had strong ties with the Red Centre and is the most convenient connecting point to East Coast capitals.
To celebrate the launch of this new route the airline is committing to offer 99 seats on every flight during its first month of operating this new route for the incredible price of $99* for bookings made until midnight 21 August for travel between 31 October and 8 December 2004. After the introductory offer everyday low fares will start from $149* one way on the net providing guests with more than a 20% saving over the competitors current lowest fares.
Adelaide – Alice Springs is also a natural market for Virgin Blue as the route is currently only serviced by one carrier and comes after discussions in July with key stakeholders in Alice Springs who made it clear that affordable and convenient links to Adelaide were something that would be valued by numerous Territorians.
The airline will also offer convenient connections from Alice Springs to Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne and Sydney via its Adelaide hub.
David Huttner, Head of Strategy and Communications for Virgin Blue, said, "The Alice-Adelaide run is likely to cater to a wide cross section from both communities including cost conscious business travellers, people looking for an exciting weekend getaway, those travelling to see medical specialists, and of course adventurers taking a one way flight back from an outback overland experience."
Virgin Blue intends to operate the route on a daily basis, but will start off with 4 weekly services during the low season. At the same time, the airline will suspend its direct Sydney-Alice Springs service, but will continue to serve the important city pair with convenient connections via Adelaide.
Mr. Huttner added, "During our July discussion in Alice Springs, Virgin Blue worked with various stakeholders to ensure that services to this important tourist destination remained viable and the Centre was not returned to the high priced monopolistic situation it faced before the arrival of Virgin Blue.
The discussions highlighted that the variety of increasing costs, set against a strong leisure traffic skew, was making it difficult to maintain the low fares that Virgin Blue brought to the Alice Springs market last year. By offering services to the Red Centre through the shorter flight sectors offered from South Australia, Virgin Blue can continue to keep its promise that it will do its utmost to ensure Territorians benefit from low fare competition on a sustainable basis."
Guests booked on the existing Alice Springs to Sydney services beyond 30 October 2004 will be contacted by the Virgin Blue Guest Contact Centre Team to organise alternative flights on Virgin Blue or will be given a full credit or refund if no satisfactory solution can be found.
* All fares are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone. The $99 launch fare offer is on sale from today until 21 August 2004 and flights are for travel from 31 October to 8 December 2004. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak days.

Comfortable and cute
"Shoes exceeded my expectation. Very cute and comfortable."

Very Fun Shoe
"I bought these shoes because I thought they were just adorable! They are very cute in person, seemed to be a little short at first, but not enough to go up in size. A few minutes walk around the house in bulky socks did the trick. I bought them online, so did I not have the benefit of trying before buying. But the fit is fine. There is not much padding in the shoe, so if you have to walk or stand for hours a light gel insole may be helpful. These shoes certainly make a bold statement! So if you have a big personality and are confident in your fashion style, you will rock these booties! Paired with black, gold or red leggings/ tights with matching top and a leather jacket or vest. You are certainly everything HOT! lol Love these shoes!"

TUPELO – The Lee County School Board approved on Tuesday for the district to use available bond money to buy new buses.
The district will buy five new school buses, including one equipped for special education. The purchase will be funded by $450,000 that was unused from a 3-mill resolution the district issued two years ago. The board's vote allowed the district to use that money for the buses.

B-1 Visa Information
Make your business trip to the U.S. very productive by learning more about the American culture and language.
The Business Visa (B-1) allows you to travel to the United States to conduct business or to learn more about your profession. As a business traveler in the U.S., you are permitted to enroll in training workshops or attend conferences that are related to your work. You can also register for a part-time business English course at the IELI if it does not interfere with your primary activities.
You should not apply for the B-1 if you plan to become a full-time student in an American college or English language school. It is a serious Immigration violation if you do so.
To apply for the B-1, you must:
- Make sure the expiration date on your passport is valid for more than 5 months in the future.
- Contact the American Embassy and request an appointment for the B-1.
- Prepare for a possible interview with an embassy official about your visa request.
- Show the embassy official proof that you can support yourself financially in the U.S.
If your B-1 application is approved, you will be permitted to travel to the U.S on a business visa. When you arrive at the airport, an Immigration officer will interview you again and ask you what you plan to do in the U.S. If you are doing research for your company or consulting work, make sure that you explain this clearly to the officer. This information will help him/her decide how much time you will need to complete your activities in the U.S. In general, if the Immigration officer is satisfied with your answers, he/she may approve your entry to the U.S. for up to 3 months.
During your business visit in the U.S., you may decide that you want to become a full-time student at the IELI. It is very difficult to change your B-1 visa to an F-1 (student status) visa in the U.S. However, you may still request permission from the Immigration Department if you have strong reasons. If you would like more information about changing visa status, we recommend that you come in to speak with the IELI International Student Advisor. You can also email your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Freedom Electric Marine Twin Troller X10 Basic Boat
This Item is Drop Shipped. Please See Details Below
The Freedom Electric Marine Twin Troller X10 Basic Boat is one of the world's best fishing boats. Designed by lifetime anglers, it's the only boat made specifically to increase the angler's ability to catch fish through its design.
Equipped with a patented electric propulsion system and hands free foot control, the X10 is powered by two 36lb thrust MotorGuide motors giving you 72lbs total thrust. The independent foot control pedals and corresponding trolling motors allow this two-man fishing boat to move in any direction depending on the amount and type of pressure placed on the foot pedals. Straight forward or straight backwards, you can make 90-degree turns to the left or right, or rotate 360 degrees in one location. If you need to get in a tight spot, or fight the wind and hold your position on a key spot, the X10 is the boat for you. These boats can spin on a dime and have plenty of power. There are no other boats on the market with this type of hands-free control.
The X10′s compact design also allows you to access bodies of water that many other boat designs just can't get to. With its new in-hull motor design, there are no motor props below the boat bottom to hit obstructions, allowing the X10 to operate in as little as 8 inches of water. You can run over logs, fishing line, lily pads, and more! The X10 goes where the big fish go, but other boats can't!
Twin Troller Boats are extremely stable as well due to the pontoon hull design and vacuum effect of the patented propulsion system. Two people can easily stand up and cast. In addition, the construction material used in the boats is actually lighter than an equal amount of water, which makes the boat virtually unsinkable.
From passenger comfort to its unique hull design the Twin Troller offers best in class features and construction. Freedom Electric Marine offers a full 5-year warranty on the X10 hull. The boat is roto-molded using state-of-the art SURPASS polyethylene resin. SURPASS polyethylene, used both for the hull shell and the integral foam core, maintains high impact strength, from summer heat to -40 Degrees. The resin is both lighter and much tougher than fiberglass. It's easy molding characteristics allow the hull to be roto-molded in one piece, complete with features such as equipment trays and cup holders. The hull is free of seams and joints, and wipes clean easily. Color is molded throughout the part, making minor scratches disappear. The hull resin is UV protected for a long outdoor life and can be recycled.
The Freedom Electric Marine Twin Troller X10 Boat comes delivered to your door fully rigged, ready to hit the water with the Twin Troller Propulsion System, seats, and seat rails. 48-inches wide, it can slide conveniently in the bed of any pickup truck and many SUV's.
