- Description
Located at an old Lucent Technologies site (now a county park) right next to a main road, this is a testing ground for different preservative treatments and coatings for telephone poles. Many of these samples have been there for years or even decades. See akthejefe.blogspot.com/2008/10/pole-farm.html for more than you ever wanted to know about this local landmark.
I have been told that it is very common in the area for parents to tell their young children that this is a telephone pole farm, and that the poles that are planted there will grow up into full size poles.
I discovered that my camera will only stop down to f8.0, so the depth of field on this shot isn't anywhere as good as I had hoped. There wasn't a position far enough away with a decent view to get a better panorama.

Story highlights
- A corpse flower at the U.S. Botanic Garden has started blooming for the first time ever
- Native to the rainforests of Indonesia, the stinky plants can take years to bloom
- When they start blooming, they may remain in bloom for 24 to 48 hours, then collapse
Finally, we have a new arrival.
No, not the royal baby. A corpse flower.
The titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum) at the United States Botanic Garden Conservatory finally started blooming and stinking like rotting flesh on Sunday around 4 p.m.
It may remain in bloom for 24 to 48 hours, and then it will collapse quickly.
The plant, which has lived at the garden since 2007, doesn't have an annual blooming cycle. This is its first-ever cycle, and dedicated fans might wait years or decades between cycles.
The garden is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday. If you can't make it to the nation's capital, watch it online on the garden's live flower cam.
Once the garden confirmed on July 8 that the plant was going to bloom, staffers moved quickly to display it publicly on July 11.
The plant tends to heat up, starts smelling stinky and usually blooms overnight or in the early morning hours. The heat and smell are to attract pollinator insects such as dung beetles in its natural habitat, said Ari Novy, the garden's public programs manager. The garden doesn't have any such beetles, but resident flies may visit, he said.
A native of Sumatra, Indonesia, this particular plant is part of the garden's collection of 14 corpse flowers. They are rarely put on display because they require a lot of heat and humidity, which is why they are grown at the garden's production greenhouses in Southeast Washington -- rarely open to the public.
The U.S. Botanic Garden last displayed a blooming titan arum in 2007. At least seven U.S. institutions have at least one titan arum in their collections.
The National Botanic Garden of Belgium saw its oldest corpse flower bloom earlier this month, attracting about 4,000 visitors over three days, said garden spokesman Franck Hidvegi. It previously bloomed in 2008 and 2011. The garden has another four plants in its greenhouses, but Hidvegi said they are still too young to bloom.

Topic: Miracle Man does it again!
After 5 months of a tube and drainage bag, after 2 days of temperatures over 104 all bags and tubes are off and both kidneys are working.....over time. Now the complaint is he can't stop!!! OMG will nature ever get it right???? I am almost sure Teddy will come home tomorrow. The Urologist was a stitch today as he reamed the hospital twice. Once when he saw the house doctor wanted to give T a pint of blood and the other when they wanted him to come home today. Hurrah for aggressive doctors. Next is the PET Scan the 27th right on T's 76th birthday. What a gift if all is good. Thank you for all your wonderful notes.
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Security
Wednesday, July 20 is the final day of EFF's Summer Security Reboot, a two-week membership drive that focuses on taking stock of our digital security practices and bolstering the larger movement to protect digital civil liberties. Besides a reduced donation amount for the Silicon level membership, the Reboot features sets of random number generators: EFF dice with instructions on how to generate stronger and more memorable random passphrases.
It's been a rough month for Internet freedom in Russia. After it breezed through the Duma, President Putin signed the "Yarovaya package" into law—a set of radical "anti-terrorism" provisions drafted by ultra-conservative United Russia politician Irina Yarovaya, together with a set of instructions on how to implement the new rules. Russia's new surveillance laws include some of Bad Internet Legislation's greatest hits, such as mandatory data retention and government backdoors for encrypted communications—policies that EFF has opposed in every country where they've been proposed.
The World Wide Web Consortium has published a "Candidate Recommendation" for Encrypted Media Extensions, a pathway to DRM for streaming video.
A large community of security researchers and public interest groups have been alarmed by the security implications of baking DRM into the HTML5 standard. That's because DRM -- unlike all the other technology that the W3C has ever standardized — enjoys unique legal protection under a tangle of international laws, like the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Canada's Bill C-11, and EU laws that implement Article 6 of the EUCD.
Making Sense of a Troubling Decision: New Court Ruling Underscores the Need to Stop the Changes to Rule 41
We wrote about a case last week that was deeply disturbing: a federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia held that individuals have no reasonable expectation of privacy in a personal computer located inside their home. In this court's view, the FBI is free to hack into networked devices (aka, pretty much everything) without a warrant.
Fortunately, this is only the opinion of a single district court judge, so it's not controlling precedent throughout the country. But the decision makes one thing clear: we need to stop the changes to Rule 41, amendments that will make it easier for the government to get a warrant to remotely search computers.
The anti-security proposal promoted by Senators Burr and Feinstein is "dead," according to a Reuters report. The news agency spoke to sources within congressional offices, the administration, and the tech sector, who confirmed that the bill "likely will not be introduced this year and, even if it were, would stand no chance of advancing."

By Robbie Ward/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Chuck Imbler Jr.'s influence in Tupelo continues to grow with each street constructed through the city's Major Thoroughfare Program.
Friends say the local businessman applied the same patience to improve the area that he did to fight cancer for about a decade. Imbler died Tuesday at age 56.
His funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Friday at the First United Methodist Church. (See the full obituary elsewhere on this page.)
Friends describe Imbler as a fellow who didn't sit on the sidelines, whether in the local Kiwanis Club, as a member of the Major Thoroughfare Program committee or supporting the area's public schools.
"He was a visionary," said Greg Pirkle, chairman of the Major Thoroughfare Program committee, who has known Imbler for decades. "Chuck could see what Tupelo could be and was determined to be part of helping it become that."
Milam Elementary School Principal Travis Beard was an assistant football coach and teacher at Carver in 1971, when the ninth-grade team went undefeated. Imbler played center on the team.
"Chuck always had a goal in mind," Beard said. "He was always determined to be the best in whatever he did."
With a bachelors and master's degree from the University of Mississippi, Imbler served as the national president of the Navistar Corporation before joining his dad, Chuck Imbler Sr., in owning the Truck Center in Tupelo.
Attorney Pat Caldwell, 56, attended junior high and high school with Imbler and was roommates with him during their freshmen year of college and later when they pursued advanced degrees.
He remembers his friend always using "we" when talking about the community. However, he also recalls Imbler's sense of humor and dedication to Ole Miss athletics.
"We did a lot of bad basketball together," Caldwell said.

Editor's Note: Robert M. Danin is Eni Enrico Mattei Senior Fellow for Middle East and Africa Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is a former Director for the Levant and Israeli-Palestinian Affairs at the National Security Council. He writes the blog Middle East Matters at CFR.org.
Monday's Fatah-Hamas unity agreement announced in Doha marks the latest in a series of unimplemented accords between the two Palestinian adversaries. The two sides announced - again - their intention to unify their efforts and form an independent caretaker government to shepherd the Palestinians in both the West Bank and Gaza to new elections.
In an innovation that apparently violates the Palestinian Basic Law, the two sides agreed that Mahmoud Abbas would serve as both president and prime minister of the Palestinian Authority (PA). Recall, the PA's prime minister position was established in 2003 and Abbas was appointed to that post to reduce the absolute powers of the presidency, then in Yassir Arafat's hands. Ironically, it is now Abbas as president who is seeking to claim back what he once tried to take away.
Monday's announcement is more of a statement of intent than it is a full-fledged accord. When it comes to Palestinian unity agreements - and there have been a few - the announcement is the easy part.
Recall the February 2007 Mecca Accords and last April's unity agreement –each either collapsed rather quickly or was never even implemented. In the case of last April's unity agreement, many of the key details were left to be resolved. Such is the case today. Will finances be shared under the unity agreement? Will Hamas agree to disband, let alone agree to recognize previous PLO agreements (including recognition of Israel)?
Another key question is: just how independent would such a transitional government be? The approach adopted last April, while calling for a technocratic government, also called for an outside steering committee comprised of Hamas and Fatah that would provide direction to the government.
Such directional control would have been enough for such a government to be considered untouchable by the United States, and probably the other members of the Quartet. These kinds of critical details will need to be addressed before the two sides reconvene in Cairo on February 18 as they have agreed to do.
Perhaps the more interesting question is why, after just last week when Fatah officials criticized Hamas for failing to consult in earnest, did the two sides come together with today's shotgun announcement?
Two sets of shifting, interrelated regional dynamics are at play here. First, both Fatah and Hamas have effectively lost their respective patrons - Mubarak in the former case, and Assad in the latter. This has created something of a vacuum that has led to a second phenomenon: other regional players stepping in to try to help encourage Palestinian developments along.
Over the past month, Jordan has shepherded talks with Israel in an effort to guide the two parties back to final status negotiations. Amidst intensive Jordanian diplomatic efforts, the Qataris called Abbas and Khaled Meshal to Doha, and apparently made them an offer they couldn't refuse. It remains to be seen if Abbas said yes as a polite guest, or if he is serious about moving forward.
In all likelihood, Abbas probably said yes in order to create options for himself and create two parallel tracks - a potential negotiating track brokered by the Jordanians and the Quartet, and a reconciliation track brokered by Qatar. Such an approach will not be welcomed by many in the region - Israel has already registered its strong opposition - and others such as Jordan and the United States will also likely tell Abbas that he can only have one approach: negotiations with Israel that do not include Hamas. Yet, Abbas will want to keep his options open.
It is possible that this time is different, and that the region's uprisings have so altered Palestinian politics that real reconciliation will now ensue, leading to new elections later this year. The fundamentals still argue against it: Fatah enjoys exclusive control of the West Bank and is fighting Hamas on the ground to keep it that way; similarly, Hamas is resisting any Fatah encroachment on their supremacy in Gaza, and it is inconceivable that the militant Islamist organization will relinquish control there should it lose elections.
Hence, PLO chairman and PA president Mahmoud Abbas must make some difficult choices now: reconcile with Hamas thereby establishing greater Palestinian unity but incurring greater international (and possibly regional) isolation and risk losing his Fatah party's remaining control in a region quickly giving rise to Islamist parties. Or partner with the initiative launched by neighboring Jordan and endeavor to negotiate with Israel. He has long professed this latter option as his preference.

Binghamton University's Institute for Child Development celebrates new social learning center
BINGHAMTON, NY— Children, parents and teachers associated with Binghamton University's Institute of Child Development (ICD) joined friends and supporters in celebrating the opening of its new social learning center.
Specifically designed to meet the needs of children associated with the ICD, their siblings, and others who participate in ICD service programs, the social learning center provides a year-round safe place to play outdoors. With safety as a top priority, features include age-appropriate play areas, all-weather high-tech safety surfacing, attractive fencing and a variety of playground equipment approved by the National Program for Playground Safety.
"The social learning center will be an important part of the therapeutic experiences we offer at ICD to children and their families," said Ray Romanczyk, director of the ICD. "Play, as part of social development, is key for our children as it helps them to develop relationships, and builds confidence and problem solving skills. This center takes it a step further in that it is specially designed to assist in the development of these skills in a fun but safe environment."
Offering a 'zoned' environment, the learning center offers 'quiet' spaces where children can participate in individual or small-group activities, as well as 'active' spaces for more challenging tasks. From a project pavilion, which features tables and benches under a brightly colored canopy, to a carousel of spring-powered bouncing riders, the center offers a variety of age-appropriate creative social and teamwork building areas.
Funds to complete the center are being raised by parents, teachers and ICD community and corporate friends through a host of activities and events. Contributions can be made to the Binghamton University Foundation PO Box 6005, Binghamton, NY 13902-6005. For more information, please contact Mary Woolson at 607-777-2054 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the ICD:
The Institute for Child Development at Binghamton University promotes the welfare of children who are challenged by autism and other developmental, learning and emotional disorders by focusing on research and training programs and disseminating basic and applied knowledge about them. It supports two units that provide treatment and educational services for children: the Children's Unit for Treatment and Evaluation and the Children's Unit for Learning Disabilities.

I had one of my customers contact me tonight to advise me the dog he purchased from me needs an entropian correction. As I understand it the lower right eye lid has folded into the eye and the lashes are now irritating the cornea. Has anyone else encountered this? and if so what would be a reasonable cost for the corrective surgery?
Unfortunately the dog is now a few hours away - can anybody reccommend a 'working dog vet' near Shakopee MN.......... Thanks

"Three goofballs and a guy in a monkey suit."
i found rotk stuff at the tru in glen burnie
I saw them today at Columbia Target, when I almost fell over myself marvelling at the Lord of the Rings toys, also spotted at Toys R Us. I guess I queried too soon!Originally Posted by sparkytheclown
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Fixer, PM coming your way.
Decided to go up to Fair Lakes area today and stopped off at Target and TRU. Only new thing I saw were 2 Unleashed ObiWans at TRU.
The Gaithersburg Target had 2 sets of the Vader (?)wave at 10.30, bought one set, went back at 4 and the rest were gone. No cinema scenes in sight.
Found the Bounty Hunter 4-pack at TRU in Frederick today. They had several more. An associate there told me the warehouse had just gotten in the Cinema Scene packs and they should be around the area by early next week.
What time was that mtriv? I was at Frederick toysrus and didn't find anything. I picked up the Vader Wave(minus vader) and Han Solo Hoth and Mynock Hunt Chewie at Frederick Target.
I was there around 3:00pm yesterday. I can't believe they would sell out so quickly since the imperial forces 4-pack (which is much better in my opinion) has been moving so slowly. Maybe they had just put them out before I got there and you came in before me.
I just got the last one. I think there are scalpers in the Frederick areaOriginally Posted by mtriv73
I don't know if it's scalpers or just collectors and kids buying them. With these 4-packs you get a lot of toys for a little money which would make them attractive to parents to buy for their kids. At any rate, they've restocked the imperial sets several times so I would expect they'll do the same for these. I can't wait for the hoth set now.

So I'm going to be turning 25 years old in a few months. Lately I have been hearing that your brain stops developing at 25 years old. This is worrying because there is still so much I want to learn in life (musical instruments, another language and learning to be a good sales rep).
It would help if someone over the age of 25 with an ambitious attitude to learn share your experiences?
I'm really feeling old right now and it would help to hear!

NARSAD Independent Investigator Dr. Catalina Betancur has succeeded in finding powerful but uncommon "one-hit" genetic errors in a growing number of autism patients who have taken part in studies in which she is involved.
As a result, Betancur has enjoyed what for a research scientist is perhaps the rarest of satisfactions: with the help of clinical geneticists, she has shared precise knowledge of disease causation in specific cases with families of affected individuals. "We've had this opportunity several times, and it is really wonderful - this is information that can truly be life-changing for a family."
Betancur participates in two important autism projects in France, where she is an Investigator at INSERM, the French equivalent of America's National Institutes of Health. At her lab in Paris, she has access to patients enrolled in the Paris Autism Research International Study (PARIS) and participates in the multinational Autism Genome Project (AGP), a large-scale study involving thousands of autism patients, their relatives and healthy controls.
Her goal is to learn how very rare genetic variations perturb the biology of the developing brain to cause the wide range of symptoms - from severe and debilitating to comparatively mild - seen across autism spectrum disorders, or ASDs.
Betancur not only scrutinized DNA samples of people with ASDs; she also makes a point of examining carefully the clinical information about the individuals she studies. She begins from clinical signs and works her way back toward the genetic mutations that are the root cause. She's well-suited for this task, having been trained in clinical medicine and neuroscience and genetics. Betancur, whose father is a neurologist, remembers "always wanting to be a doctor, like him," but being interested also in "the question of how the brain works." After earning a M.D. in her native Colombia, she pursued a Ph.D. in neuroscience in France, and then began to study autism.
"We find many rare variations in patients with ASDs. But we don't know at the beginning if they're important - if they occur in a place in the genome where they might give rise to pathology." An extraordinary process of winnowing ensues, involving high-tech genome sequencing, clinical work-ups of patients, family interviews and neurobiology studies. "When we find a candidate genome variation, we do experiments to determine if this area contains a gene of importance in brain development."
Knowing genes and pathways involved in ASDs is the starting point for development of future therapies. It is also a basis for the genetic counseling that Betancur and colleagues have seen change lives. If a rare variant found to cause autism is de novo - if it occurred spontaneously in the fertilized egg at the time of conception - then by definition, the parents are not carriers, nor are any other relatives. If a variant is inherited, then it has precise implications for parents, siblings, even cousins. "This is information that helps everyone make reproductive decisions. And being able to help families is what makes me absolutely passionate about the work I'm pursuing with my new NARSAD grant," Betancur says.

A fluid imbalance refers to an abnormal level of fluids in the body.
Water imbalance
Your body is constantly losing water through breathing, sweating, and urinating. If you do not take in enough fluids or water, you become dehydrated.
Your body may also have a hard time excreting (getting rid of) fluids. As a result, excess fluid builds up in the body. This is called fluid overload (volume overload). This can lead to edema (excess fluid in the skin).
Many medical problems can cause fluid imbalance:
A fluid imbalance is often associated with imbalances of sodium (
Medicines can also affect fluid balance. The most common are water pills (diuretics) to treat blood pressure.
Treatment depends on the specific condition that is causing the fluid imbalance.
Call your health care provider if you or your child have signs of dehydration or swelling, in order to prevent more serious complications.

We spent 6 days at the Baan Fah resort in one of the beach front rooms. The room was stunning, clean and exactly like the pictures on the website. We were able to open our doors and walk down a few steps to the beach, which was cleaned every morning. The staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Even before we left home I had exchanged emails because of a change of flight time and the hotel picked us up at the airport. Breakfast is included in the price and there was a choice of what you could have. Maenam itself is a very quiet resort, there are a few resaurants and bars along the beach, but not much else in the way of shops. This was a worry at first but we were able to get a taxi every day into Bophut to shop and find other restaurants for about 250 bht, although there was a lovely man at Baan Fah who would drive you for 300 bht. and the one next door to Baan Fah was very nice. It is a small friendly resort. No swimming pool but it is so close to the sea we didn t mind. We will be going back next year.

Accommodation and facilities:
A tiny and comfortable hotel. I guess there are about 5-7 rooms, not more. Not crowded at all. And one has more freedom there. The stuff is very friendly. We stayed in a honeymoon suit as the beachfront ones were unavailable, but anyway we had a nice time. The room is very spaceous, even is we had an additional bed for the third person. There are beach chairs on the balcony, which we found very useful. It s only a pity, the sun was on the balcony only in the morning. The only drawback about the room is that the lavatory flush wasn t working properly from time to time. The beach is very neaty and cleaned every morning. There are always free beach chairs. The breakfast is not reach though, don t expect a buffet with a wide variety of dishes. But you can go to a nearby restaurant, it s not a problem. What we liked most was the location. There are good restorants near on the beach and the hotel is sutuated in the centre of the village, so a supermarket, a pharmacy, restourants are very handy. At the same time in the hotel and on the beach it s peaceful and quiet. We don t regret staying there.

The hotel is pretty good. We stayed at the beachfront room, which was large and nice. Huge bathroom. TV and aircon good (aircon a little loud, but usually is!) Only downfall is the beach. They rake it every morning, and it looks nice, but the water is murky. Wouldn t go back there because of the sea water.
Reservation service:
Good. Dunno if transfer would have happened. Lomprayah Ferries do a free transfer from the ferry to this area (and 7 others on samui) including dropping off at resort.

Very god value for money. All rooms are recently renovated, are located at the seaside. Hospitality was funtastic as rarely met in more expensive hotels. Staff responded to all of our needs, booked trips and entetainment. We were also offered car transfer sevice at very competitive prices. On our leave we were given a courtesy room free of charge. The location is by the sea, more expensive rooms have a sea view and are just about 5 meters away from the water. It was very quiet. For cost aware travellers I would recommnend the cheapest rooms. They are somewhat farther from the beach (just 5-10 meters) and provide less privacy but still are very pleasant to stay in and their price is very competitive.
Reservation service:
The booking service was very good. I was constantly informed on status of my booking and everything went as booked.

there are good reasons not to do that.
There is some very interesting work going on with mozilla and the browser. Maybe the mail client will receive something similar, though I must say the mail client is very nice and 1.0 promises to be an excellent release.

This is an awesome weapon pack that replaces the Desert Eagle, silenced pistol, Spas-12, Tec-9, Micro uzi, MP5, Ak-47, sniper, and country rifle with a Vp70M, Mac-11 silenced, new Spas-12, Auto9, Mac-11 SWD, FnP90, new Ak-47, G3sg1, and G3sg1 combat version, respectively. It also comes with a new skin for Carl that includes a mohawk, leather jacket, and hockey mask.

Also, I'd just like to point out that I've edited pafileDB's system a little bit. I made it so that I can upload up to four images per download (I could make it higher, but I think that four is enough). The images show up as thumbnails on the download page, and you can click any thumbnail to make the larger image pop up in a new screen. This gives visitors more views of the mod, which is what most people want. Big thanks to brokenfish for helping me out with the MySQL databases, couldn't have done it without him :D

First diary entry in millenia. My how some things change and others just stay the same.
Some of the ambitions from a couple of years ago have been fulfilled. I released a lot of the code I was working on. For the big projects, like corengine, in some respects the system is better than anything else I've seen in the same field; but in some respects it's definitely not. What took 12K lines in corengine I've now done in 6K lines here at the office (and that code is slated for an open source release sometime this year) with much more power.
As an experiment in actualizing some ideas that project was a success: objectified content (now called "microcontent" I suppose) is a win, reusing objects by encoding structure as a generalized graph (so iterators are graph traversals; graphs can render to XML, really -- XSLT makes subgraphs) is also a win. Trying to write an useful objectified renderer in a language like PHP which has no mixins, interfaces, or multiple inheritance, is an exercise in futility. Coding (dirty nasty hacking) to a demo schedule when the next evolutionary design phase is clear, is a lose.
Oh, and cut-and-paste of objects through a web application to speed workflow: a big win. Hopefully more on that in the future.
The most recent news is that we (i.e., I and Brandon and Sean) finally re-released Litestream. I had been having email exchanges with Gene Kan before his death about getting litestream.net back online and loosening up the litestream license to a pure BSD license (no advertising clause). He renewed the domain, dug the machine back out for hosting, and agreed to a BSD license. And then he passed away.
I can't say that I knew him -- I just had a passing acquaintance with him over the Internet at the end of his life. But his death affected everybody who had any contact with him. I feel that we (all of us) really lost a lot when Gene left us.
After some months we approached Yaroslav and some of Gene's other XCF friends and asked if we could follow up on Gene's wish to bring litestream back online, update the license, and get the project going again. They said, yes, that Gene was happy when he was working on litestream and that we should bring it back.
It took us a year to get our act together -- we had to decide how we were going to maintain the project, and we set up a website, mailing lists, all the cruft that goes with development. Then we pulled out the code and spent a lot of time looking through it and testing it. Gene wrote really great code. Compared to the other streaming tools out there it's as if litestream is a Predator drone that can do Mach 2, while the competitors are like doublewide trailers that bounce up and down on rusty springs. I say that having looked closely at the code of a number of streamers.
We found one bug on Linux that has to do with how Linux handles non-blocking sockets, so we fixed it. In the process we added debug scaffolding (a probably ancient version of Fred Fish's public domain DBUG macros), updated the license, and took out the compiled-in mp3 (a relic from the old license).
We've got ideas for a litestream2 -- things like factoring the backend and making a liblitestream, e.g. It's daunting, though, looking at how well the code is written, to undertake big changes to a solid product. That's the beauty of open source though: both development and testing are parallelized. So, we'll see.
Anyway, it seems people are happy to see Gene's good work back in circulation again. I hope we can do him credit with maintaining what he left behind.

text: National Cancer Institute Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP) The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, selected St. Joseph Hospital to continue participation in its national network of community cancer centers. A member of the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP) since 2007, St. Joseph Hospital was awarded $1,044,324.15 to fund participation in the NCCCP network for the program's next two years. The NCCCP is a collaborative network of community hospitals working to: expand cancer research, enhance access to cancer care, and improve the quality of care for cancer patients served by community hospitals in urban, suburban and rural areas, with an emphasis on underserved populations. The majority of U.S. cancer patients are diagnosed with and treated for the disease in their local communities, where they can remain closer to home rather than commute to major academic medical centers. The NCCCP network has served approximately 53,000 new cancer cases each year. Launched in 2007 as a pilot program comprised of 16 community hospitals, the NCCCP added 14 additional sites to the network in 2010. Funding available from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allowed the 30 NCCCP hospitals to recently compete for a program extension; 21 of them were awarded funds to continue program participation. St. Joseph Hospital's selection ensures that the NCCCP network's ongoing efforts to offer state-of-the-art coordinated care and to create research opportunities will continue to be addressed in the Orange County community. With a major focus on reducing cancer healthcare disparities, the 21 NCCCP community hospitals will continue efforts to enhance patient access to the latest, evidence-based cancer care, improve the overall quality of care, and expand research opportunities across the cancer continuum. St. Joseph Hospital's continued participation in the program helps to support NCI's overall mission of accelerating cancer research and improving outcomes for cancer patients across the U.S. Quote from Maria Gonzales, B.S., Director of Operations, The Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment, Co-Principal Investigator, NCCCP: "Our continued NCCCP selection is an honor for St. Joseph Hospital and continues to exemplify our commitment to cutting edge cancer care. Our continued partnership with the National Cancer Institute furthers the St. Joseph Hospital mission of serving the Orange County Community" For more information about the NCCCP network, visit ncccp.cancer.gov.

Mercedes launched the SL with a drive day in chilly September, but we went the full Monty - instead sampling it in summer weather, with 800km over a week of driving that included a trip away fully loaded. That meant not only packing for a work event, plus a family weekend, but fitting a dolls-house in the boot, too.
We'd have laid money that even if it fit, the (car's) roof would have to stay up however sunny the weather to hold the full 504 litres. That it still folded and allowed space for clothes is proof of the packaging miracle Mercedes' style-meisters have wrought in penning a car that is both aggressively elegant and useful.
It's also pretty damn quick thanks to weight cut from an all-aluminium body, and a 4.7-litre 320kW/700Nm twin-turbo V8 engine sending power to those overworked rear tyres via a seven-speed auto transmission.
Phenomenal acceleration is yours at a tap of the throttle along with a feral soundtrack entirely at odds with this car's opulent red leather interior.
The cabin is designed for the long-distance cruising at which the SL excels. But the car's also surprisingly nimble despite its generous dimensions and still-hefty weight, in sport mode at least, when the accurate steering and fat rear rubber conspire with this outrageous motor to fling you through a set of bends, if not with the agility of a 911, at least with the sort of panache any red-blooded buyer will enjoy. That buyer will need a fair chunk of wedge, your $265,000 accessing Bluetooth "hands-free telephony", reversing cameras and active park assist, an electric draught stop and air scarf to keep you warm when the roof is down, and a TV tuner to entertain you if the cabin proves too cosseting to want to leave it at your destination. But the piece de resistance is the optional panoramic sunroof with Magic Sky Control ($5850): press a button to turn the clear glass opaque, blocking the sun's rays and the gaze of envious passersby.

The Atlantic alliance has demonstrated remarkable resilience over the past two decades. Most alliances do not outlast the dissolution of the threat that brought them into being. nato, however, not only survived the collapse of the Soviet Union but went on to welcome a host of new members from Central Europe and to undertake military missions in Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Libya. As the Cold War came to a close, few observers could have predicted that NATO, twenty years later, would be in the midst of a major mission in Afghanistan while simultaneously carrying out a successful air campaign to topple the Libyan government.
NATO's surprising longevity and activism notwithstanding, the Atlantic alliance has certainly suffered its fair share of setbacks. The Iraq war of 2003 severely strained transatlantic relations and underscored the differences in approach and policy that had come into stark relief after President George W. Bush took office. The election of Barack Obama then seemed to guide the United States and Europe back into alignment — but only temporarily. Soon enough, Europeans began to worry that Obama was a "post-Atlanticist" president who would focus his attention elsewhere — on Asia, in particular. So, too, were Europeans disappointed when Obama backed away from some of his campaign pledges, unable to close Guantanamo or implement a credible U.S. program to curb global warming. For its part, Washington begrudged the EU's sluggish response to its financial crisis and its inability to muster more coherence and capability on matters of defense.
The Western alliance has, however, admirably weathered these ups and downs, and proved wrong its many naysayers. Only a decade ago, many analysts were convinced that the transatlantic coupling was on the rocks. Robert Kagan predicted in these pages that a Hobbesian America obsessed with power and coercion was destined to separate from a Kantian Europe wedded to taming the world through law and institutions. In The End of the American Era, I foresaw a European Union whose deepening integration would gradually give it the wherewithal to chart its own course, fostering an independence that would come at the expense of Atlantic solidarity. Others, such as Ivo Daalder, the current U.S. ambassador to NATO, fretted in Survival about the "effective end of Atlanticism" and a strategic drift that could result "in separation and, ultimately, divorce."

text: I would have preferred this stand alone as Zartan's origin without the Born Losers/Billy Jack episode. Zartan as a petty biker thug doesn't sell me. If we didn't know why he was in federal prison and were only alluded to what he might have done to deserve it, he'd be a more mysterious, intriguing character. There is no real mystery to any of the iconic characters so far. Cobra Commander has half a mask, which maybe in time will become a full mask after he is scarred by a confrontation with Joes. I'll keep watching GI Joe:Origins, I mean Renegades, but I just wanted more than waiting for the cool cameo of the week.

Dir. Gary Sherman
AKA Raw Meat
When students Alex and Patricia (David Ladd and Sharon Gurney) find a dying man on the London Underground, naturally they go for help. However, when they return the man has disappeared. Inspector Calhoun (Donald Pleasance) launches an investigation which leads them into London's murky Underground system, where they make a grisly discovery – a group of cannibals that have been feasting on the flesh of London commuters!
Death Line is one of the more interesting and unusual British horror films from the Seventies, with its tale of cannibalism in the London Underground and a scathing, scarily accurate commentary on the bygone British Class system. No mean feat for a film written and directed by an American.
The sleazy opening follows a distinguished looking gentleman on a trawl through the seedy, neon-drenched streets of Soho, as he wanders through various peep shows, smut-rag stalls and propositions various women before venturing into the London Underground where he is attacked by an unseen assailant. The grimy demeanour of the Underground is milked for maximum effect here and sets the moody tone of the film. As recent films such as Creep and Midnight Meat Train have demonstrated – Underground rail systems make for suitably atmospheric locations in horror films. By day they are bustling with preoccupied commuters and there is rarely a quiet moment. However at night, when things quieten down – and the imagination goes into morbid overdrive, they become vast, empty expanses where potential threats lurk and creep about every dark corner and just-out-of-sight space.
Sherman's script is razor-sharp and delivered with aplomb by Pleasance, who relishes his snarky role. As the tea-obsessed Inspector Calhoun, Pleasance commands attention with droll delivery that is at times comically off-kilter as he sprays his fellow cast with sarcastic one-liners, barbed with spiking wit and vitriol. The film is his and he provides what is arguably one of the best performances of his career. His banter with Detective Sergeant Rogers (Norman Rossington) provides the otherwise grim, bleak film with a warm core and light, unobtrusive comic relief.
As 'The Man', Hugh Armstrong is initially a gruesome figure of fear. His loathsome, pustule-flanked visage incites disgust and repulsion. However, after a rather lengthy and really quite impressive camera trek around his dingy, eerily lit underground lair – taking in an abundance of rotting corpses, rats and blood-soaked paraphernalia – we are eased into his world to steal a momentary glimpse. And what we see is quite surprising. A strangely sad and lonely figure, The Man tends to his dying partner and eventually mourns her passing. We later discover that he and 'The Woman' were the last descendents of a group of workers buried alive during a cave-in in 1895, and left to die by rich employers who went bankrupt. Surviving on the dead and breeding amongst themselves for generations, this clan has eventually died out. Its last survivor, The Man, now ventures into the surrounding tunnel systems looking for food. And now that his partner has died, he needs a new one. He now appears to be a tragic victim, and becomes strangely sympathetic – despite the 'monstrous' acts he has carried out. It is all he knows and he represents a form of humanity whittled down to its pure essence that will do anything to survive.
The film isn't really hampered by a number of plot holes: the caved-in workers were able to reproduce before being eaten by one another? For five generations? And if they have been surviving on the odd London commuter here and there, for this long, wouldn't that bring attention to them? And if they can move around in the tunnel system in order to get at the commuters, why not just leave and go to the surface? These are just a few questions the script fails to answer, however, with such a compelling story they are not the hardest inconsistencies to overlook.
As mentioned, the film also takes pot shots galore at the British Class system. The Civil Servant trawling Soho for cheap kicks to sate his lust is feeding, figuratively, off the needy. The 'showdown' between Calhoun and a shady Upper-Class MI5 Agent (Christopher Lee in a memorable cameo), plays on the vast class differences between the two men. And of course there is Calhoun's initial distain of the students. Each faction of society feeds off the other to further their own gain and social standing – including the cannibals – who literally feed off society – but do so indiscriminately.
Whilst the film does begin to plod in a few places, Sherman continuously draws us into the story with consistently fresh dialogue and the cast provides a number of sturdy performances – notably Pleasance. The sound effects that occur throughout proceedings also create a dank, unsettling atmosphere and things are rarely quiet – even in the forgotten underground lair with its constant dripping, echoing and distant clacking noises. A highly unusual score courtesy of Wil Malone, which is by turns sleazy, funky and sufficiently brooding, also adds to the overall despairing feel of the film. As events move, albeit in their own sweet time, towards the genuinely suspenseful climax, Death Line proves to be a memorable, strangely moving and thoroughly captivating ride.
A grimy jewel in the jostled crown of Seventies British horror cinema.

Backus Council cracks down on illegal parking
The Backus City Council on Monday, July 1, set into motion efforts to eliminate illegal parking taking place on Church Lane leading to the Lakeside Baptist Church.
Church Lane is an asphalt road between church property and an apartment complex. The council was presented with a photo of cars illegally parked in the grass ditches along that street. The vehicles in the photo are presumably owned by residents and visitors to the apartment complex next to the church property.
Backus City Clerk Jeff Turk said he has monitored the parking lot ever since the issue was brought to his attention. Each time he has passed by the lot, he said there have been cars parked on one or both sides of the street.
This parking causes congestion leading to Lakeside Baptist Church, makes it difficult to see people walking from between the cars, and is reportedly responsible for damage to the street, as the edges of the asphalt there are breaking off.
It was explained that there were "no parking" signs in Church Lane, but they have disappeared.
"We just need to have that enforced. We don't want to repair any streets that we don't have to," said council member Rae Borst. "It's a safety factor."
The council approved the purchase and installation of two new "no parking" signs, and asked Police Chief Paul Sand to have his officers monitor the parking on Church Lane.
In other business July 1, the council:
• Scheduled a public hearing at 6 p.m. Monday, July 15, for the creation of a municipal development district and the establishment of a tax-increment finance district.
• Scheduled a special meeting for Monday, July 15, to hire a new city clerk/auditor. This will take place after the tax-increment finance public hearing.
• Approved the 2012 audit.
• Adopted a city ordinance relating to criminal history background checks for applicants for city employment and city licenses.
• Accepted the resignation of firefighter Ben Pollack.
• Heard from Pollack that the recent city survey revealed one of his buildings to be encroaching on city property by approximately 7 feet. Pollack said he was willing to remove the building if the city asked him to. The council decided, instead, to draft a lease agreement for use of the property encroached upon, thus allowing Pollack to keep his building, which is used for storage of a wrecker.
• Approved street repair by Schrupp Excavating for Point Road and the road near the Backus Post Office.
• Renewed the liquor and cigarette license for Willards.
• Renewed the town home leases.
• Denied a request by a town home resident asking permission to install a utility shed on town home property. This was done to avoid difficulties in the future stemming from liability issues and setting a precedence.

OKOLONA – After one of the toughest December schedules this side of Ripley, the New Site Lady Royals disappeared into division play.
But now the calendar is in the postseason, and the defending Class 2A state champions re-announced themselves Friday with an 81-49 victory over the Baldwyn Lady Bearcats in the Division 1-2A championship game.
"This time of year, your record doesn't matter," said New Site head coach Byron Sparks, whose Lady Royals improved to 26-4. "You've got elevate your game."
"Our experience is good, they know what to expect at this point in the season."
The Lady Royals knew to take control of this contest early against the Lady Bearcats (20-7), a team they had already beaten twice during the regular season.
After a slow first portion of the opening quarter, New Site threw in a quick 8-0 run for a 10-2 lead. Then the Lady Royals closed the period on an 8-2 spurt, with all eight points by Christin Pharr, for an 18-8 advantage.
decisive quarter
Another New Site scoring effort in the second quarter pretty much decided this matchup. A 14-0 run saw Grace Elliot begin the spurt with a driving layup, then close it with a 3-pointer as the Lady Royals eventually claimed a 37-18 halftime lead.
"We really pushed the ball after defensive rebounds," Sparks said. "We were able to run the floor and get some easy baskets."
Pharr scored 25 points for paced New Site and Elliot had 23. Timaya Stewart tallied 20 for Baldwyn.
"I don't think we played intense for four quarters," Baldwyn head coach Reneetra Shelley said. "We couldn't get it going, too many turnovers."
Both teams host 2A North Tournament games Monday, with Riverside at New Site and O'Bannon at Baldwyn.

That is right and he took the limelight away from who needed it. It was not an effective convention, and your boy needed it to be.
You sir got your head so far up your boys ( YOU KNOW WHAT) you did not even hear a word he said.
I read your drivel and for the life of me cannot understand how a man of your age have such little common sence. I bolded sense so you would feel at home.
I got a chance to meet Clint Eastwood a couple of years back,wife didnt impress me (she was very attractive) but next to George Strait, cant think of any man that men want to be like, and women want to be with...the dude just has IT
I read yours too. You act as if you elect Romney the world will change and you will be better for it. Let me let you in on a little secret....only thing that will change is the folks that don't need help will get more breaks and the debt will keep rising and the economy will continue to grind its way out of this mess, but Rush and Glenn will tell you that its all good and you will be happy. Actually live is more exciting with Obama as president because you can complain an blame someone. If Romney gets elected you have noone to blame....what would life be like with noone to blame?
You are delusional. I have 620 post you have 1166 look back at yours and how many times have you used rush or beck to fall back on. Trust me the party of blame lies squarly on your side. I will take boring and keep my own hard earned money any day VS tax me and give it to a bunch of lowlifes. BTW. how can live get exciting??
Your guys tax and give to the upper class....where my guy taxes and gives to the middle class. Your wantabe is a modern day Robin Hood in reverse

Rhodes Chroma Polaris
The Chroma Polaris was the second synthesizer made by Fender/Rhodes after they took over ARP, following their classic Rhodes Chroma. It has a classic analog ARP-like sound, kind-of tinny but also fat. Sounds can be layered up to 6 voices. It has typical analog synth controls including a cool 'sweep' knob for sweeping through the LFO or analog filter cutoff parameters. It also has a simple real-time sequencer and 132 memory patches.
There's also a nice and colorful layout with sliders similar to Roland Juno synths, membrane push-buttons and a large velocity sensitive 61-note keyboard making the Chroma Polaris a very nice synth. Fully MIDI-equipped, the Polaris will transmit and receive all its edit controls through MIDI as well as the ability to play up to three patches at once. Unfortunately they are rare and usually hard to find. It has been used by Leftfield and Jimmy Edgar.

Wow. Lucas Arts is really spoiling us this fall with their release of three console Star Wars games. Star Wars : Bounty Hunter, Star Wars : Clone Wars and Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic are all coming out this fall. Just look at these beautiful pics.
Knights of the Old Republic :
Bounty Hunter :
Clone Wars :
The Clone Wars starts where Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones ends. You can play as : Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu or Obi-Wan Kenobi. And you lead the Republic Army in the greatest battles of the epic Clone Wars. Your directive: to stop the Separatists from reassembling an ancient Sith weapon of mass annihilation.
In Bounty Hunter, you pay as Jango Fett, the galaxy's most dangerous bounty hunter, hired to hunt down the elusive leader of a mysterious cult - dead or alive. There are 18 levels based in six worlds. Face off against galactic scum, fearsome beasts, and brutal competition that stand between you and your prey: a deranged dark Jedi.
In Knights of the Old Republic, you are in the Golden Age of the Republic - over 4,000 years before the first Star Wars film, when both Jedi and Sith number in the thousands. With the Galaxy reeling from a recent conflict with the Dark Lords, the ongoing battle between the Jedi and the Sith rages on. Your actions determine the outcome of this colossal galactic war - and your destiny as a Jedi.
Damn. All three of these games are really interesting. Clone Wars and Bounty Hunter are for the GCN and PS2, while KOR is exclusive to the Xbox. Looks like I will be getting an Xbox, because KOR is the most interesting game.

Goodfellows fundraising on track, Salvation Army Red Kettles less full
The Old Newsboys' Goodfellow Fund of Detroit has raised $797,251, nearly 66.4 percent of its $1.2 million fundraising goal for 2013.
That amount is similar to what the organization had raised last year at this time, said Sari Klok-Schneider, executive director of the Detroit Goodfellows.
Of the total amount raised this year, $52,166 was from the 100th Annual Detroit Goodfellows' Sales Day on Dec. 2, when a special Goodfellow edition of The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press was sold by Detroit Goodfellows, police officers and firefighters across the city, according to a news release.
In addition to the holiday gift packages, the Detroit Goodfellows provide free shoes, emergency dental services to children, scholarships to Wayne State University and assistance to send hundreds of disadvantaged kids to camp each summer, said the release.
Donations to help reach this year's fundraising goal will be collected until Jan. 31, the end of the organization's fiscal year.
Salvation Army donations lagging
The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit reported today that it is nearly 10 percent off last year's pace to reach its $8.75 million annual Red Kettle Campaign Goal by Jan. 31.
The organization has raised $4.3 million at its 470 locations, said Major Mark Anderson, general secretary and metro Detroit area commander of the Salvation Army.
He said Red Kettle donations go toward providing 10,000 holiday food baskets, toys and warm clothes among other things to families in metro Detroit.
The majority of the Red Kettles will be removed on Christmas Eve; donations will continue to be accepted through the organization's website, phone and text messages, according to the news release.

If any two sectors were more unloved than utilities and materials heading into the Fed meeting today, it was materials and utilities. Materials because they were linked to the price of precious and other metals whose prices were falling as interest-rate expectations rose; utilities because their big dividends looked smaller against higher Treasury yields.
Well, both sectors are big winners today after the Fed said it would not start reducing its bond purchases today. With bond yields falling–the 10-year yield has fallen to 2.76%–and gold rallying SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) is now up 2.7% on the day–both sectors look far more appealing.
The best performing stocks in the S&P 500 now include Newmont Mining (NEM), which has gained 5.6% to $30.13, Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF), which has risen 3.9% to $23.31 and Peabody Energy (BTU). Top performing utilities include NextEra Energy (NEE), which has gained 3.4% to $81.67 and the Southern Co. (SO), which has advanced 3.1% to $42.43.
