What GOP Senate candidate Todd Akin of Missouri offered up as gynocological-psycho-babble the other day is really not the heart of the story. Here's what Akin said that created the call for him to step down from the race against sitting Senator, Claire McCaskill....
"First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare," Akin told KTVI-TV in an interview posted Sunday. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
22,000 women who were raped last year became pregnant.
The real story here is not Todd Akin's pseudo-understanding of how ladyparts function and so forth. The real story is found in the fact that Missourians are still prepared to put Todd Akin in the U.S. Senate. Polls following Akin's Marcus Welby MD moment still show Akin leading over current Senator, Claire McCaskill.
Of course the bigger story.....which corporate media refuses to mention because it would be a sign of taking sides.....is that today's GOP has moved so far to the extremes that now cases of rape or incest are no longer considered exceptions to the party's 'no abortions' policies. Quite frankly, I don't understand this particular feature of the Republican Party's move to the extremes.
It's also important to note that Todd Akin co-sponsored a bill with.....Paul Ryan....called the "personhood amendment".....Sanctity of Human Life Act....which would outlaw all abortions, including in the cases of pregnancies caused from rape and incest, except in the rare case where the life of the female is in jeopardy. "Personhood" laws are so radically extreme.....so nucking futs....that a personhood state initiative in Mississippi was voted DOWN last year.
Many conservative voters and advocates resented Democrats when they called what Republicans were doing in passing over 100 state bills in the last year and a half to limit a woman's right to choose part of a larger "war on women" by the GOP. The sanctimonious faux-outrage by the extreme right over women having access to no-co-pay contraception through Obamacare was also considered as a battle against female autonomy in the conservative "war on women."
Well, how about forcing a victim of rape or incest to carry her rapist's child to term? What should that be called? How does the conservative movement avoid the claim that they are waging war against women when its members call for the enslavement of women to the destinies that their rapists have determined for them against their own wills?
To hear Todd Akin's gibberish about the rape of women is insulting to all women everywhere. But the much larger insult....the much bigger, and uglier, picture here is the ongoing paternalistic war on women being waged by Todd Akin's political party.
Akin will not step aside even though Holy Mitt is calling for him to do so. And in a way I don't blame Todd Akin. All he did was give voice to the now-mainstream policies of the most radical Republican Party in our nation's history.
If you care anything at all about the females in your life.....you most certainly should not vote for any Republicans.

The New York Jets will be without running back Chris Ivory and cornerback Dee Milliner when the team takes on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Both players are being held out due to hamstring injuries. The good news is that Sheldon Richardson, who missed practice this week, is listed a probable for Sunday's game. The Jets will have Kyle Wilson and Darrin Walls ready to pick up the slack for Dee Milliner, while Bilal Powell and Alex Green will have to do the heavy lifting at running back.
The New York Jets will be missing two important offseason additions this weekend against the Tennessee Titans, as Chris ivory and Dee Milliner will miss the game with hamstring injuries. The Jets drafted Dee Milliner with the No. 9 overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft, but he has hit some tough luck so far to start his career. The Jets pulled Dee Milliner against the New England Patriots when Tom Brady started going after him. Now he's dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in practice, and he missed time during the offseason due to a shoulder injury.
Kyle Wilson will be expected to start at cornerback opposite Antonio Cromartie, with Darrin Walls sniffing around for some significant playing time. Walls has performed well so far in limited action. Alex Green should expect a larger role on Sunday in the absence of Chris Ivory.
Sheldon Richardson has been dealing with his own shoulder injury. He sat out of practice this week, but is listed as probable for Sunday. The injury will likely be something Richardson has to battle through for the rest of the season. Luckily for the Jets, Sheldon Richardson has been able to manage the situation and continue to be a big part of the defensive line rotation.
The Jets are also expecting some players to continue to return to form. Santonio Holmes feels that he still has a long way to go, and Quinton Coples will be playing his second game of the season on Sunday.

Yoga is better for burning calories than the usual exercise called jogging. It is easy and relaxing and is better for the joints of your body. You will not sweat a lot in Yoga but, it does not mean that you are not burning any calories inside your body. In yoga, your joints will even become stronger and more flexible than jogging. The latter only leaves your joint achy and stiff. It is because of the fact that the yoga's liquefied movement permits your joints to move smoothly over one another. And thus, this helps in your goal of developing the mobility and the strength of your joints.
If you have been looking for an easy way to lose inches and stubborn pounds and you have tried everything to make your tummy flattened, the Shapeshifter Yoga is the answer and solution to your problem. You can also simply make your tights slim and make your butt firm.
Shapeshifter yoga (a program created by Kris Fondran) is an easier and safer way to perform yoga. I like it because it gets better and faster results. This is also simply created to perform yoga the safe and easy way possible. You can also simply enjoy all the amazing moves in shaping your body and gaining a lot of health benefits. It is also very easy, enjoyable, effective and convenient to use. This is also entirely based on the experiences and yoga training.
Here are some of the things you will experience after using the Shapeshifter Yoga program:
- Tones and sculpts your muscles so you can burn more fats. The Shapeshifter is the right tool to use for doing yoga. It also does target specific points and certain areas of your body. This can also help burn more fats and sculpt your muscles. And thus, the result is you get a leaner and stronger body.
- Lowers the cortisol. Cortisol is known to be a hormone. This is the main reason why you eat when you are stressed out. Shapeshifter helps you stop stress eating. In order to relieve stress, you should breathe.
- Help you love your own body. Shapeshifter helps you connect with your body all over again. And thus, this leaves you loving your own body to the fullest. It will help you also feel young and appreciate your body more. And, you will also feel happy on how you look.
- It gives you everything that you need to be more fabulous, look younger, stay stronger and shape your body faster than any other products offered on the market.
Once you have started doing it, you'll get and feel the result to your body. You'll also feel less pain and feel the best out of your body. You will also get flatter tummy, firmer butt and slimmer tights. In starting using this program in just seven days, you will be more flexible in doing all the poses and some activities.
And in just 14 days, you'll start to realize that your clothes exactly fit well to your body. You will also feel more energized and you can sleep peacefully at night. You will also feel that your belly is a little bit flatter as compared to your previous stomach.
On the 30th day, your butt is firmer than before and you enjoy having a flat tummy. You also have abs, slim tights and you will also look leaner. That's how Shapeshifter works that is faster, easier and more convenient to use.
This program helped people in shaping their body, maintaining it in its good shape, having stronger and leaner joints and muscles. In addition, people become happier than before when they started using the program. They don't feel stressful and they are even more comfortable with their lives. It also helps them gain healthier lifestyle and have stronger bones. Some people also experienced their sexual desires boost and they feel satisfied with it. They said they have gained the energy and health even if they have aged.
There are lots of products coming out on the market today. These are also simply after providing you with more stuff. But sometimes, they fail you in getting the results. Be aware that there are some imitations and they do not exactly give you the exact result. This program, the Shapeshifter Yoga, will give you the result that you want for your body. It will also last longer and it is also easy to maintain than any other program. It will help you lessen the stress and ensure that you will have the right poses in making and targeting the right points on your body!

Former Ravalli County Justice of the Peace Ed Sperry has been elected Vice Commander of the American Legion for the state of Montana. And Sperry is turning the office into a campaign platform to keep the Legion alive in Montana.
Montana has one of the highest per-capita concentrations of veterans, more than 100,000. One of every eight Montanans has served in the Armed Services. More than 8,000 veterans live in the greater Missoula area.
But despite that, the American Legion has only 12,000 members statewide. That's not enough for Sperry. He helped campaign successfully on a national level to change Legion bylaws to allow more service veterans to become Legion members.
"Just as it is 'publish or perish' in academic circles, it is 'recruit or die' for the Legion," Sperry says. "There are about 120 posts around the state. This year my goal is to bring many more into the Legion. I'd like to see a Legion post in every community where there's a school."
Sperry is a seasoned campaigner, a retired, 26-year U.S. Air Force colonel who spent 13 years serving as Ravalli County justice of the peace. He is a former commander of the Stevensville American Legion post and was state Chaplin last year.
He plans membership drives in all 11 districts across the state this fall. Without new, younger members, the Legion and other service organizations are doomed, Sperry says.
"Our theme this year is 'Recommit,' and we urge veterans to do just that," Sperry says. "The Legion has a great deal to offer them and the community. We want to get that word out."
Unabashedly patriotic, the Legion awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to graduating high school seniors each year, winners of an oratory contest whose subject is the U.S. Constitution. The Legion helps sponsor Boys State and Girls State. Legion baseball is a summer staple and locally the Missoula Mavericks, the Red Sox and the Bitterroot Bucs are Legion-supported.
Sperry believes his mission will succeed. As Vietnam-era veterans age and need help, they often have to battle Veterans Affairs to receive that assistance. The Legion is their strongest advocate and support, Sperry says.
"We need younger members. If we don't seek them, we'll find ourselves irrelevant. The deeper I get into the Legion, the more I discover what it does and can do. We need to tell that to the world," he says. "I'm going to be telling everyone in Montana who will listen."

Neal recently told People Magazine, "He looks great but is still struggling to use both of his hands. I don't know if he'll ever fully recover, but he's a tough guy with a work ethic," meanwhile his father, Harold Traywick, told Contact Music, "I'm sure he would just like to get back to work."
I for one wish Randy the best possible recovery and will keep him in my prayers. God Bless ya Randy!

acv in co-wash?
Hi all,
I'm wondering if instead of doing an acv rinse i could put a half teaspoon in with my conditioner when I co-wash once every other week or so? has anyone tried this or is there a good reason it won't work? May be a ridiculously bad idea, but I thought I would throw it out there, cuz this is all new to me and I'm all for making my routine as simple as possible. Thanks in advance for any advice!!
I've never tried it but you can do lemon with conditioner so it might work.
I'm resurrecting this thread in hope of a few more responses :) It has also occurred to me to try mixing some ACV in with a CO wash conditioner because I have dandruff from time to time and don't want to have to use shampoo, especially not a dandruff shampoo! I thought that if the ACV changes the pH of the conditioner it might be more suitable for my scalp.
Has anyone tried this?
Ive done something like this before except I added brown sugar and baking soda to the mix as well in an attempt to make my own cleansing conditioner. I don't have dandruff so I can't say if it would help with that or not but my hair and scalp were definitely clean after using it and it didn't dry my hair out. hth
I do this. It helps if you are co washing any oil treatment from your hair. My question is can I add a few tbsp of vinegar to my co washing conditioner bottle. Will the conditioner go bad? My conditioner is a bit thick. I like watering it down with a bit of vinegar

Lindsay Lohan's fashion adventure ends after one show
By Sophie Hardach
PARIS (Reuters) - Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan's design career has ended after a single collection for Parisian label Emanuel Ungaro, leaving the fashion world divided over whether her work was a disaster or a much-needed bit of fun.
Ungaro designer Estrella Archs, who worked with Lohan on last year's widely panned show of buttock-revealing dresses and strippers' nipple stickers, showed her second Ungaro collection on Monday. She said Lohan had no hand in it.
"You have up and downs and you learn a lot, more from the downs than from the ups," Archs told reporters backstage when asked about the dire reviews of last year's show with Lohan, who acted as artistic adviser.
"I feel that I have to work, work, work and work ... I've been doing this for a long time, with different people and different houses, and I think this is the best medicine," said Archs, looking close to tears.
Their joint collection has just hit the shops, but Lohan has gone back to buying rather than producing fashion -- she was seen at Roberto Cavalli in Milan, and was invited to Dior in Paris on Friday, though she came late and missed the show.
Archs, with no entertainment career to fall back on, has stuck with Ungaro, turning out an autumn/winter collection of jewel-colored dresses, bustier tops and leopard print trousers.
She can take heart at the fact that retailers have, on the whole, been less vitriolic than critics.

Filip DeWinter Addresses The Concern Over His Relationship With Jean-Marie Le Pen
Today, I noticed that Christine at Center for Vigilant Freedom has posted an interview wherein DeWinter addresses this issue. Check it out:
Q: You are said to have on your desk two pictures in which you are shaking hands with Le Pen and Haider. Why display those two photos? What does it say about you that you have selected those two pictures to highlight on your desk?
A: Such photo's exist of course. But they are not on display in my office.
We have contacts with Haiders en Le Pens parties. On issues as immigration, we even have common ground. But we don't like Haiders kowtowing for dictators as Saddam Hoessein or Khadaffi.
We don't like Le Pens typically French views of centralisation, we don't like his anti-Americanism and we absolutely don't like his anti-Jewish provocations. Just as almost all French politicians, he has this disastrous illusion that it's France's destiny to have a special, privileged relation with the Islamic world.
This explains the French's biased political position against Israel. This explains their alliance with Saddam Hoessein, their support of Khomeini when he was preparing to topple the shah.
Le Pen shares this views, and we don't like that at all. He is not the monster the leftists say he is. But I am not identifying with him. We are certainly no holocaust deniers. In Belgian parliament we supported the law who punishes holocaust denial. Recently we even published an article in our party magazine about Raoul Wallenberg, who saved ten of thousands of Hungarian Jews.
In our party magazine, we repeatedly denounced arsons against synagogues and violence and racist insults against Jewish people, even when most of the mainstream press kept silent about this, because the perpetrators were Muslim youths.
That's an indication too: our party is very strong in Antwerp. We have more than 100,000 voters there. There were many attacks against Jews in Antwerp: a car bomb, a grenade attack on a school bus with Jewish children, some murders and attempted murders, and many, many cases of harassing, insult and intimidation. But the perpetrators were invariably Muslim youths or foreign Muslim terrorists.
In thirty years, not one of our militants ever committed even one anti-Semitic act. These are not empty words. These are facts. You can check them. Ask the Jews in Antwerp. This is at least a strong indication that we are no anti-Semites.
Mr. Marinower says we are evil guys, just pretending to be decent right-wingers. People can play a misleading role for some years. But is it possible that tens of thousands of people play a misleading role for almost thirty years?
Ok, he certainly makes good points. However, his answer that,
"Such photo's exist of course. But they are not on display in my office..."
is an obfuscation. True, the photo is not in his office. Instead, the fact is, the photo is displayed, as I said, prominently in his living room. Here, watch this video:
If he has nothing to hide, then why the obfuscation?

Zimbabwe's captain Tatenda Taibu was making arrangements last night to stay with friends or relatives after hurriedly leaving his home in Harare on Thursday night following a telephone call threatening violence. He said: "I am taking the call very seriously, so much so I have decided to go to stay somewhere for a while"
Taibu, who has stayed at a hotel since the threat which he reported to police, together with the name of the caller. He said police were investigating.
On Thursday Taibu and Zimbabwe's 74 contracted professional players issued a four-page statement complaining about their contracts for the 2005-2006 season not having been negotiated. The players declared they would "down tools" if this were not resolved quickly.
Taibu and others at a meeting jointly held with provincial chairmen, including Dion Ebrahim, Blessing Mahwire and Brendan Taylor, also complained about violence during a match at Harare Sports Club last month.
They said: "We were threatened with our lives by a group of persons.Nothing was done despite our pleas to the managing director of Zimbabwe Cricket, Mr Osias Bvute. Criminal charges have been pressed by an affected player but ZC did nothing."
Taibu said his stance had not changed, despite the threats. He added: "I will not be deterred by the threatening phone call in pursuing what I and all the others believing what is right for us but I left home for a while for my own safety."
Sri Lanka have dropped their experienced opening batsman and former captain Sanath Jayasuriya for their three-Test tour of India next month. The 36-year-old, with 100 Test appearances, has struggled in the current one-day series against India.
The left-hander dislocated a shoulder in August and scored only 85 runs in the first six games of the series which India lead 5-1. It is the first time in a decade that Jayasuriya has been axed since cementing his place in the team with a century against Australia at Adelaide.
"We decided to drop Sanath on the grounds of poor form and a lack of fitness," said the chairman of selectors, Lalith Kaluperuma.
The wicketkeeper, Kumar Sangakkara, preparing in Vadodara for the final one-day match against India today, spoke up for his former captain. Sangakkara said: "Up to now there has been no doubt about the class of Jayasuriya. He has scored 10,000 one-day runs in an illustrious career. I don't see any problem."
The teenage middle-order batsman Chamara Kapugedera has been selected for the first time while the opener Avishka Gunawardene has been recalled. Also brought in are the A team leg spinner Malinga Bandara and the uncapped left-arm spinner Sajeewa Weerakoon.
Sri Lanka return home after today's final one-day match at Baroda and travel back to India for a three-day practice match in Bangalore on November 26 before the first Test starts on December 2 at Chennai.

Description: TRRS connectors are the audio-style connectors that you see on some phones, MP3 players and development boards. TRRS stands for "Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve," which reflects the fact that, unlike a standard stereo connector, this actually has three conductors and a ground. Some devices use the extra conductor for a microphone (like hands-free headsets) or to carry a video signal (like in some MP3/MP4 players). This breakout board makes it easy to add a TRRS jack to your prototype or project by breaking out each conductor to a standard 0.1" spaced header.
Great, any reason you are not selling the connector without the breakout board ?
Screw holes? Where are the screw holes!?! Gah! The lack of screw holes makes it so much harder to use these things in projects (well, my kind of projects). Please please please add screw holes to any breakout…please!
I agree that this is useless without mounting holes.
ever heard of adhesives? they work quite well! But they aren't so good for temporary uses….
they are meant to go in a breadboard for prototyping.
Will this work with a Tip and Sleeve plug?
The connector only is PRT-12639
This connector would be great where space is at a premium. Would like to buy some of these w/o breakout. How about it?
How do I hook this up to an arduino for FFT and spectrum analysis
Answering this for people who are looking :P
Arduino FHT can provide you a quick solution for frequency analysis: http://wiki.openmusiclabs.com/wiki/ArduinoFHT
What is the part number for the connector on this board? I'd like to find out more information on it. Is a datasheet available?
Hello? Anybody?
We put up datasheets if we have them. What in particular do you want to know?
"What is the part number for the connector on this board?"
"Is a datasheet avaiable?"
I did some research for you, this one should be equivalent.
Ah great! Thank you.
With a vast supply of cheep ipod shuffle cables out there this would be a slightly noisier but more robust usb connector for a project.
It's not quite clear in the photo if the center of the headers are hollow or if they are metal contacts. Can someone please clear this up for me. Thanks!
they are holes.
This is an awesome board, now i just need to makeup a project around it xD
Based on 5 ratings:
Nice little unit! I soldered it into place without incident. Maybe I'll get to plug the earbuds into it and detect nuclear decay from my newly built bGeigie Nano Geiger counter.
This is exactly what I needed and works great! I'm glad that it is a 4 pin connector so I can fully use my headset!
This is the only 4 pin 3.5mm headphone jack breakout we could find anywhere online and its working great.
Works great as expected
ordered them for final prototyping before soldering direct… this is a pretty basic product, well made and worked flawlessly. not much to say other than it's a high quality jack (nice tight pressure in the jack) and breakout board.
If you are using with RasPI and GPIO you need to pay attention exactly how you plan your connections…. Not putting your connections in the right order, based on your pin out plan can be the different between being able to Hot Swap 1Wire sensors and causing a reboot due to shorting the pins as you plug it in……

Redskins mascot not going away for now
DRIGGS, Idaho - Teton High School's Redskins mascot won't be changed in the immediate future, the Teton School District superintendent said Thursday.
Monte R. Woolstenhulme had said Monday night that Teton High School will no longer be recognized as the Redskins. The word refers to Native Americans, and Woolstenhulme had said in order to teach the students about respect, the mascot had to go.
But in an email to the media Thursday, Woolstenhulme said the mascot wouldn't immediately change.
"As this week has progressed I've taken feedback from many people that are passionate about this issue, those that agree with the decision and those that strongly disagree with changing the Redskin mascot at Teton High School," he said. "I appreciate people taking the time to share their opinions."
Woolstenhulme said the decision came after talking to School Board Chair Doug Petersen.
He said no funds will be spent at this time to change the the mascot. No Redskins signs or logos will be removed.
The price tag for replacing all athletic uniforms for teams and to replace signs with the mascot name over a five- to eight-year period is $100,000. Those funds would be from existing budgets, not funds that could go toward paying district employees, Woolstenhulme said.
Although the mascot is not changing immediately, the matter is not closed. It will be open to public discussion at a July 8 school board meeting at the Teton High School Auditorium at 7 p.m.
Woolstenhulme said the district is reaching out to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes at the Fort Hall Reservation for feedback.
Teton High School has been known as the Redskins since 1910.

A Border Town Feels The Peso's PinchGary Mcwilliams
The rapid beat of Tejano, the Tex-Mex version of country music, shakes the air tonight. The car-radio-borne rhythm lends an illusion of haste to the line of traffic snaking slowly into the U.S. over the Rio Grande's Gateway to Americas bridge. My family and I, in Laredo, Tex., for the weekend to soak up the sights and sounds, are in one of the cars. Mexican customs is funneling cars from the neighboring Jurez-Lincoln crossing, creating this minibackup.
On a typical weekend, such backups thread across both bridges from Mexico's Nuevo Laredo as shoppers head to the U.S. But these are not normal times along the U.S.-Mexican border, so the line of cars only stretches three- quarters of the way across the bridge. The 43% decline in the peso is dampening economies on both sides of the border. And nowhere is the pinch felt more than in Laredo, a onetime frontier outpost turned modern city of 162,000. In January, crossings from Nuevo Laredo fell 31% from a year ago. That loss of day-trippers into the downtown area caused nearly 20 businesses to shut and many others to cut hours. "It's a big crisis," says Luis Lidsky, president of the city's Downtown Development Corp.
The biggest worry here: Despite the North American Free Trade Agreement, the currency crisis has prompted Mexico to enforce a $50 limit on goods brought from the U.S. That has cities and towns all along the border seeing revenues from sales to Mexican customers dry up. Laredo already counts itself $468,000 poorer from declining crossing fees and retail sales taxes during December and January. It is stalling action on 20 municipal job openings until the economy turns. "Border areas are affected first and hardest," says James T. Peach, a professor of economics at New Mexico State University, who studies the effects of devaluations.
HOSPITAL DISCOUNTS. This time is no different. At the gleaming Mall Del Norte, an upscale shopping center just five miles from the border, business is slow. True, bright yellow license plates from Mexico's Tamaulipas state still dot the parking lot. But inside, security guard Rolando Chavez notes a difference: "You don't see as many shopping bags--they're not buying as much," he observes.
At least they are still coming to Laredo. Unlike in the past, when devaluations were seismic events only along the border, this one is being felt well inland. Mexico's early-1990s boom extended its economic influence into such metro areas as Houston, Los Angeles, San Antonio, and San Diego. There, Mexico's emerging middle class joined their wealthier compatriots in seeking professional services and vacations in the U.S. That change, says Ben Anderson, Mexico desk partner at Deloitte & Touche, means the major cities of the Southwest "are more tied to Mexico's economy than we'd like to think."
At Houston's Galleria shopping mall, long a mecca for visiting Mexicans, many skipped traditional stopovers for New Year's sales. The Westin Galleria Hotel saw post-Christmas international bookings fall 30% overnight. "The reemergence of the Mexican economy had given a lot of buying power to the middle class," says Jose NPound ez, executive director of international affairs at Houston's Methodist Hospital. "[Now] a segment will not be able to come to the U.S." The hospitals saw referrals drop off as long ago as last summer, as Mexican patients began to sense a devaluation was coming. To forestall new cancellations, Methodist and St. Luke's Hospital are offering international clients cash discounts or payment grace periods of up to a year.
"PEAK EFFECT." It's not just the cities that are hurting. Border-state economies are all feeling Mexico's pinch. Economists say the biggest impact will be felt in Texas, where exports to Mexico last year climbed to 40% of total exports from 33% in 1991. Texas livestock exports alone fell nearly 56% in January. "I had three different Mexican buyers scheduled to come last week," says Darryl McDonald, the Texas Agriculture Dept.'s director of livestock marketing. "They all called and canceled."
California, which sent $5.6 billion in goods to its southern neighbor in just the first nine months last year, exports 9.5% of its total output of goods to Mexico. Arizona counts on Mexico for more than a quarter, and New Mexico one-fifth, of total exports. Economists at DRI/McGraw-Hill estimate the peso's fall will clip 12% to 17% off estimated employment growth for California and Texas, the two most populous border states, through 1997. DRI's Sara L. Johnson says the "peak effect" on jobs in the region will occur in 1997, lagging the export decline.
Most of the Southwest states' job markets had benefited from exports to Mexico. Even Southern California, where a defense industry downturn sent unemployment spiraling, saw hope from Mexico. San Diego Chamber of Commerce President Gil Partida says border crossers accounted for 10% of retail sales in San Diego county. What's more, the rising trade with Mexico during the early 1990s occurred at a critical juncture for the economy. The retail and transportation sectors "were nice job generators during a recession," says Partida.
Of course, not everything is bad for the border-state economies. U.S. residents are already flocking to low-cost winter vacations in Mexico and could soon see falling food prices. Continental Airlines Inc. and Southwest Airlines Co. are cutting prices on flights to Mexican resort cities. And retail beef prices should soon fall, reflecting Mexican ranchers selling off herds to raise dollars. In January, Mexican exports of livestock to Texas rose 90% from a year ago. California produce growers also say their labor costs should fall as more migrants head north for the summer harvest.
SIGNS OF ADJUSTMENT. What's new to Houston or Los Angeles is old sombrero to border areas, which have ridden out major devaluations before. Having been through peso declines in 1986-87 and 1982, Laredo's municipal government set aside economic reserves for such disruptions. "If this is the extent of the impact, we can manage," says Laredo City Manager Peter H. Vargas. Any further devaluation, though, and the city would defer road improvements.
Because of such contingency planning, says New Mexico State's Peach, border cities such as Laredo that tumble the hardest usually recover the fastest. There are already signs the border economies are adjusting. On the Mexican side, "prices in Nuevo Laredo and Ciudad Jurez [shops] are quoted mostly now in dollars," he says.
Laredoans in both countries have a long tradition of adapting quickly to disruptions. And both have become industrialized by serving one another's needs. Laredo's warehouses and transportation hubs rely on Nuevo Laredo's maquiladora plants.
The buildup means neither quite lives up to its frontier past anymore--certainly not enough for Hollywood's sake. The sequel to Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove, Streets of Laredo, is now being filmed 400 miles up the Rio Grande near Lajitas, a remote outpost in the Big Bend county. Laredo has become more Tejano than western.

Broncos cry foul over draft plans
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
Brisbane are ready to blow up if the NRL does not significantly alter the preliminary model of a territorial draft it put to the clubs at the annual conference last week.
The clubs were asked not to comment until they saw the proposal in its final form, but The Sun-Herald has learned that it shocked Broncos chief executive Bruno Cullen.
The model subdivided the city of Brisbane and its surrounds into plots, some of which would fall to other NRL clubs and allow them first call on the best juniors.
"Look, I can't say too much because we're waiting on the final model and we want to see what's in that, but if it doesn't change we're going to have a big problem with it," Cullen said.
"We wouldn't like it and we would fight it, because we would be losing valuable territory and the Brisbane market would no longer genuinely be the Brisbane market."
Cullen said the Broncos and the other NRL clubs expected to see the final model tomorrow and that the issue would be a major topic of discussion at Brisbane's scheduled board meeting on Tuesday.
"I'll make sure it's on the agenda," Cullen said. "The way we read it, we would be the only club to lose territory and I don't see how that can be acceptable. Apart from losing the opportunity to sign good, young players who come from the heart of Brisbane, it could cost us fans and sponsors as well.
"If the fans see that the best young players from their area of town are going to another club they might hold it against us, and if the sponsors who thought we covered the whole of the Brisbane market start thinking we're not covering it because of the effect of a draft they might not want to pay as much.
"We're just going to have to see what's in the final model and weigh it up after that."
Broncos forward Dane Carlaw came from the Redcliffe area but in the future, under a territorial draft, a player coming through the same region could be lost to the club.
Cullen said the Broncos supported the idea of preventing clubs from stockpiling young players, but he thought there might be better ways of doing it.
"The idea I've got is that each club keeps its existing junior area, but is not allowed to sign more than five junior players up to the age of 18 in any given year," he said.
"I'd have that idea as my first preference, with a pure draft second and the model of the territorial draft that we saw at the conference third."
A "pure" external draft would involve clubs picking junior players according to their finishing positions on the NRL ladder, starting with the bottom club having first pick.
High-profile club chief executives Shane Richardson (South Sydney) and Denis Fitzgerald from Parramatta are among the supporters of the pure draft concept.

The government collected Rs2.46 lakh crore from indirect taxes and Rs3.80 lakh crore from direct taxes in the past fiscal, according to provisional figures
The Centre mopped up Rs2.46 lakh crore from indirect taxes in the last fiscal, as much as Rs2,000 crore more than the revised target, despite stimulus packages, reports PTI.
On the other hand, it collected Rs3.80 lakh crore from direct taxes against the revised estimate of Rs3.87 lakh crore, Union revenue secretary Sunil Mitra said at a function hosted by the Bengal National Chamber of Commerce and Industry today.
However, Mitra clarified that these were only provisional figures, and the final ones would be released by the Controller General of Accounts.
Sources said that direct tax collections would go up further when final figures come in.
Estimates of indirect tax collections were revised downwards to Rs2.44 lakh crore for the last fiscal, from the Rs2.69 lakh crore estimated at the time of the budget.
While the customs duty mop-up target was scaled down by Rs3,523 crore to Rs84,477 crore, excise duty collection was reduced by Rs4,477 crore to Rs1.02 lakh crore.
Similarly, service tax collection estimates were cut by Rs7,000 crore to Rs58,000 crore.
Sources said this had happened because the cut in excise duty by 6% and service tax by 2% had hit the exchequer drastically. Besides, the slowdown in demand had cut the need for greater imports, affecting customs duty collections.
The government had set the target for direct tax collection at Rs3.70 lakh crore in the 2009-10 budget, but later revised it to Rs3.87 lakh crore.
For the current fiscal, the government has estimated that Rs3.15 lakh crore would be collected through indirect taxes.
Out of this, Rs1.32 lakh crore is likely to come from excise duties, Rs1.15 lakh crore from customs and Rs68,000 crore from service tax.
The government, during 2010-11, proposes to mop up about Rs4.30 lakh crore through direct taxes. Of this, Rs1.28 lakh crore is expected from income tax, despite widening of tax slabs, Rs3.01 lakh crore from corporate tax, and Rs603 crore from wealth tax.
SEBI's client-broker relationship guidelines throw up operational and cost challenges for brokers; they are seeking relaxation in the rules
Market watchdog Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in its circular dated 3 December 2009, had laid out rules pertaining to the broker-client relationship in a bid to increase transparency.
Among the various rules were authorising running an account once in a year, increase in font size of all documents and settlement of funds once in a calendar quarter or month. Following apprehensions from the broker community, the regulator extended the deadline to 30 June 2010 from its earlier deadline of 31 March 2010. However there were no amendments to this circular.
While brokerage houses are gearing up to ensure that they comply with the circular, they are still facing operational glitches.
"The implementation faces practical and operational difficulties, for example, quarterly settlement of accounts for all clients on one single day is not possible as it may require a huge amount of working capital for rollover/margins/replenishment of exposures, etc. The broking industry is proposing its relaxation, to at least once a year instead of quarterly adherence. They are trying to impress upon the authorities to find a practical solution—implementing it in batches for a set of clients so that in a given period, all client accounts are settled as stipulated so as to remove the pressure of settling all accounts on a single day. The rotational settlement covering all clients will meet the desired objectives," said a spokesperson from Anand Rathi.
"Most of the clients have given a mandate to square off the account in a quarter. We are planning to do it from 30th June. We have around one crore demat accounts in the country. If we are told to take new forms from them then there is a cost of Rs100 per form. It will be a very difficult task. There will be a burden of around Rs100 crore on the industry," said a Mumbai-based broker.
"It is a yearly affair; hence a broker can send statements of balance of funds and securities to all his clients. Of course, it is a subjective matter in terms of cost escalation. Some brokers may charge a cost for the same under courier, despatch charges, etc," said Chandrashekhar Layane, senior vice president, FairWealth Financial Services.
According to industry sources, some brokers are seeking a further extension and possible amendments to SEBI's circular.
For renewing the accounts, the operational cost in terms of printing material, paper, and courier charges, etc, per account could go up to Rs25. Printing all documents in a font size of 11 is also likely to add to the costs. Besides, SEBI also has certain modifications to the 'know your client' (KYC) forms.
"A running account of a customer with a broking firm is similar in conformity with the established commercial practice for any financial relationship like a banking account, mutual fund account, a buyer and seller (trading) account and a supplier-customer account. An initial authority for setting up such an account with an authority to revoke with the customer should suffice. The new system of periodical squaring off and quarterly statements of accounts strengthens the system further. In view of this, yearly renewal is unwarranted," adds the spokesperson from Anand Rathi.
The exchanges are trying to convince brokers to implement the circular by 30 June 2010.
Mumbai-based Godrej Consumer Products Ltd said it has entered an agreement to acquire a 100% stake in Laboratoria Cuenca, Consell SA, Issue Uruguay and Issue Brazil (collectively referred to as 'Issue Group'). No price details were provided.
Godrej Consumer Products Ltd is a major player in the Indian FMCG market with leadership in the hair colour, household insecticides and fabric care categories. The Issue brand enjoys volume leadership in Argentina with a market share in excess of 20%. The business had revenues of over $33 million in 2009.
Godrej Consumer Products ended 2.62% down at Rs312.20 on the Bombay Stock Exchange, while the benchmark Sensex closed 0.15% up at 16,469.55 points.

As most of Chicago was just preparing for work this morning, the Chicago Bears were finishing up the rookie contract for sixth-round pick J.T. Thomas. The former-West Virginia linebacker signed a four-year deal for an undisclosed amount. Shortly thereafter, Cliff Stein, the club's lead contract negotiator, came to undisclosed terms on a four-year deal with fifth-round selection Nathan Enderle.
Enderle was a four-year starter at quarterback for Idaho, finishing as the school's all-time leader in attempts (1,427), ranking second in school annals in completions (779), third in passing yards (10,084), and fourth in TD passes (81) and total offense yards (9,935) in 45 games.
The 6-4, 240-pounder has the type of frame and arm strength coordinator Mike Martz looks for in his signal callers. He personally scouted Enderle before the draft and liked what he saw.
QB Nathan Enderle
Rob Christy/US Presswire
"Martz went out and worked him out this year and really kind of fell for the kid in terms of the intangibles that he brings. Obviously, the size and obviously, the arm strength," said Tim Ruskell, Chicago's director of player personnel. "Coach Martz had a real strong conviction on him and we agreed with the traits that he saw."
As a starter, Enderle's teams lost more than they won and his 55-percent completion percentage his senior season also raises some red flags.
"I thought [his completion percentage] was better the year before. I felt like he had more people around him. He had a tight end and a receiver to throw to that were of pretty good caliber. His offensive line was a little bit better," Ruskell said. "You would love that [percentage] be in the 60s or better. But we think he has the potential to be that kind of a quarterback."
The pick raised some additional eyebrows due to the team already having what most assumed was an already established No.2 in Caleb Hanie. The team will head into training camp with Hanie as the primary backup and Enderle as the No. 3. Yet news of the club's interest in former-Jets receiver Brad Smith adds a twist to this scenario.
Smith played receiver, running back and quarterback for New York, often out of the Wildcat. It's been rumored that if the Bears sign Smith, they may roster him in one of the now-mandatory, three-quarterback spots. In that way, they can insert a playmaker who can be used at multiple positions on offense, and who is also a prolific kick returner, all for the price of a roster spot that most likely would have gone unused. It's a smart strategy, considering each team now must carry three passers on the 53-man roster.
This could create some intense competition in training camp between Hanie and Enderle. Something to watch for with camp opening up this Saturday.

Bartender gets $17,500 tip
(NEWSER) – After hours of fruitlessly searching for an affordable couch last week, Oregon bartender Aurora Kephart's day picked up when she went to work and got an amazing tip.
A regular customer asked her to pick two from his handful of unplayed Keno lottery tickets, the first of which won $5 and the second of which won the big prize, Kephart told the Register-Guard.
That big prize: $17,505.
She has worked at Conway's Restaurant and Lounge in Springfield for nearly four years.

Tamara on north London plot. Picture: Howard Sooley
In a further installment of our series from other plot-holders with stories to tell, Tamara Cincik tells us about her new allotment in Belsize Park, north London and how she inherited her nana's love of gardening
It's cold, it's grey, the rain feels like the second great flood. I've just passed another birthday: another grim milestone of what I have and haven't achieved or done with my life. If I take stock of the past 12 months, trying not to panic about the innumerate grey hairs sprouting on my head, or the new wrinkle taking form on my forehead, I can with a deep breath of appreciation smile at the best thing which happened this year - okay I lied - one of the best things which happened, I'm not that old! In June I was given my allotment plot in Belsize Park. Antrim Grove is an oasis, tucked behind a children's playground, as soon as I knew I was top of the waiting list for the next plot there, I'd go up the path, stare through the gate and wonder at the secret garden which lay behind it.
Having a key into this secret garden has been no less magical: arriving in June, I'd missed the main spring planting opportunities; but there were strawberries to be picked, an artichoke to revive and beans to plant. Elsa, who'd had the plot before me, had loved and tended it well. Through snippets of allotment talk, I gathered she'd had help to tend it, but had been overwhelmed and is now living in New York with family. As I dug up planks of wood and concrete slabs she'd laid, I suppose to aide her walking steadily around the space, or ate the strawberries she'd planted, I fantasised about her new, urban Woody Allen existence. My nana died last autumn, she was a great gardener, in taking on Elsa's plot, in my imagination I was now in dialogue not only with her, but also with nana.
My nana: when I describe her she sounds like the archetypal perfect grandmother: all knitting, all baking, all gardening, and yes she was all those things; aside from being always at the end of the telephone and always delighted to share the highs and the lows. As I set about trying to rework the allotment I'd often think what would nana do? Probably prune, okay I'll try that then. This allotment has then been a cathartic form of grieving my nana, I've learned a little about vegetables and a lot about my nana in the process.
So now summer's over, I've eaten the last of the raspberries, frozen the rhubarb and the beans, covered the cabbage and sown some onions and garlic (we shall see if they take). It's not as much 'fun' to be up the allotment in the cold, truth is, I should be up there more than I have been in the past few weeks, what with poor weather and work trips abroad; but the very knowing it's there - my space - no one else's, is an amazing gift. I'm not a lover of bracing weather or the rain; but it is a good feeling to know I am responsible for a plot of land, for watching how long vegetables take to grow, for composting more of my home's waste, it's shifted my awareness. I've learned that the more I nurture them, the better they are. There's a metaphor there I'm sure - nana would be proud!
So yes, the grey hair is a drag, the new wrinkle isn't cute, and there's always more to do, but the pleasure gained from that plot genuinely does far outweigh.

Dread Zeppelin
Dread Zeppelin's second album, 5,000,000*, followed in 1991, but already the joke was growing stale, and the following summer Tortelvis, Ed Zeppelin, and Fresh Cheese left the band; Butt-Boy rechristened himself Gary B.I.B.B. and assumed vocal duties for the follow-up, 1992's It's Not Unusual, a disco record which effectively alienated much of their core audience as well as executives at IRS, who dropped the group immediately after. Tortelvis and Ed Zeppelin returned for 1993's Hot & Spicy Beanburger, a return to past glories issued on Jah Paul Jo's own Birdcage label; shortly after Dread Zeppelin made a cameo in the 1994 film comedy National Lampoon's Last Resort, Carl Jah and Ed Zeppelin then left the lineup, with the latter's brother Bruce and bassist Derf Nasna-Haj signing on for 1995's No Quarter Pounder. Jah Paul Jo's subsequent departure preceded 1996's The Fun Sessions, the group's lone recording for the Imago imprint; both the live The Song Remains Insane and the rarities collection Ruins soon followed. Deja Voodoo was released in late 2000, marking a return to the Led Zep tributes that constituted the group's bread and butter. The band soon started their own label and website, creating a cottage industry selling music direct to their fans. Live DVDs and CDs plus their first all-original album, Spam Bake, kept hungry Dread Heads satisfied. The music/video hybrid CD Chicken and Ribs from 2005 included the band's version of "Kung Fu Fighting". ~ Jason Ankeny

I have a confession to make — I'm in love with the idea of the beauty subscription box. Who wouldn't be? It's a great investment for those of us who aren't quite privy to the ins and outs of the beauty world. The ease and excitement of trying new hair, skin, and makeup products picked by experts each month is simply thrilling. This week, I unwrapped the October 2014 Glossybox and I can honestly say there wasn't one thing inside I didn't want to try immediately.
The October 2014 Glossybox came complete with Tarte Cosmetics Power Pigment in "Flush", Proganix Volume Root Boost Finish + Body Builder, Nails Inc. Wesminster Bridge Matte Top Coat, Vince Camuto Amore Eau De Parfum, and Sesha Botanical Hydro Mask.
Tarte Cosmetics Power Pigment in "Flush"
Inspired by tarte's cheek stains, this sheer berry-hued lip tint features a slim, twist-up design (let me stress how amazing it is not to need a sharpener with this pencil!) for precise application. The creamy formula contains shea butter and a hint of mint to give your lips an added comfort. (Full Size $24.00)
Proganix Volume Root Boost Finish + Body Builder
Many of us can agree that when it comes to hair, bigger really is better. I, for one, am a sucker for volume. The Volume Root Boost Finish + Body Builder from Proganix helps to give hair a bit of a lift with its intricate blend of soy protein and energizing caffeine. I love how light both the spray and the smell were in my hair. (Full Size $11.99)
Nails Inc. Wesminster Bridge Matte Top Coat
I am a big fan of fashion-forward British brand Nails Inc., and this matte top coat was one of my favorites. Despite the sheen of the polish I used initially, one brush of this polish softened out the color. This top coat will help your manicure last well into the week. (Full Size $10.00)
Vince Camuto Amore Eau De Parfum
This darling perfume from designer Vince Camuto is perfect for on-the-go, or when you need a quick perfume touch up. The fragrance exudes romance, with its fruity top notes blended with subtle hints of cashmere, sandalwood, and floral scents. (Full Size $78.00)
Sesha Botanical Hydro Mask
What's better than a bit of relaxation after a long day? This one-time use sheet mask from Sesha delivers extracts of moisturizing cucumber fruit, green tea, and marigold, used for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Get your glow on! (Full Size $9.00)
Overall, the $20 per month Glossybox has quickly become one of my favorite ways to get the low-down on the hottest beauty products on the market. Receiving one of these on your doorstep is like getting a birthday present each month from your Fairy Godmother of Gorgeous. I say treat yourself to a subscription — you deserve it.

If a salad is going to be the centerpiece of a meal, it needs to be hearty enough to carry off its obligations without being overly filling. With cornbread served on the side, this grilled chicken salad is a satisfying and flavorful entree. Pesto sauce, used here in the marinade and dressing, is a natural, and each vegetable -- particularly the crunchy jicama -- adds a different texture.
Servings: 6
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup prepared pesto
- Salt
- Freshly ground white pepper
- 3 medium (12 to 15 ounces) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 2 heads romaine lettuce (tough outer leaves removed), torn into bite-size pieces
- 3 medium carrots, shredded
- 1/2 pound jicama, cut into julienne (very thin slices)
- 1/4 pound white mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced or cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted*
Related Recipes
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, oil and pesto and stir to mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place the chicken breast halves in a resealable plastic food storage bag and pour in 1/4 cup of the pesto sauce mixture, reserving the rest for the salad dressing. Turn to coat and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
Meanwhile, place the lettuce in a large serving bowl. Add the carrots, jicama, mushrooms and tomatoes and toss gently.
When ready to cook, prepare the grill. If using a gas grill, preheat the grill to medium. If using a charcoal grill, start the charcoal or wood briquettes. When the briquettes are ready, distribute them evenly under the cooking area for direct heat. Oil the grate. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill about 3 inches from the heat until opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Transfer to a carving board and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices.
Place the warm chicken strips on top of the salad. Add just enough of the reserved dressing to moisten the salad and toss gently. Scatter the pine nuts on top. Serve immediately, and pass the remaining dressing at the table.

MIAMI (June 2, 2014) – Abakan Inc. announced that it has increased its ownership position in its majority owned subsidiary, MesoCoat Inc., to a 87.5 percent direct and 89.9 percent direct and indirect ownership. The increase is the result of converting an additional $6.2 million in MesoCoat investment into equity and exchanging 21 percent of ownership in Powdermet for 65.3 percent of Powdermet's shares of MesoCoat.
By issuing 2 million restricted shares of Abakan to Powdermet, Abakan intends to acquire those remaining shares of MesoCoat held by Powdermet in exchange for those remaining shares of Powdermet that it holds and the issuance of additional shares of Abakan, to the extent necessary, on receipt of independent business valuations of MesoCoat and Powdermet on or before Aug. 31.
The price per share of the latest conversion of Abakan's investment in MesoCoat is at a 58 percent premium to the last price that Abakan converted invested capital to equity.
Abakan's commitment to providing lowest total cost of ownership, long life wear and corrosion solutions, led by its CermaClad and PComP product platforms, is clearly demonstrated by its decision to focus on near term commercial applications ahead of diverse contract research and development activities.
Robert Miller, Abakan's CEO, announced that Abakan director, Stephen Goss, will replace Andrew Sherman as CEO of MesoCoat effective immediately. Goss brings operational discipline and commercial focus, in a shift away from the technology development focus to commercial expansion. The transition will continue to be supported by Sherman.
"Getting our important products to market is the focus of our immediate efforts at MesoCoat," Goss said. "Our products are necessary to meet the ever expanding demand for downtime reducing cladding and coating materials in connection with corrosion and wear protection for oil and gas activities, mining concerns, metal processing, and eventually infrastructure applications."
This decision to divest the company's ownership of Powdermet, as disclosed Feb. 10, was mutually agreed upon by the boards of Abakan, MesoCoat and Powdermet, and is an acceleration of the staged acquisition planned on Abakan's initial investment in 2009.
"I am very excited about MesoCoat's transition to becoming a major commercial provider, which is the realization of my long term vision 'to bring the benefits of advanced materials to the world,'" Sherman said. "I fully support Mr. Goss and believe he is exactly what the organization needs at this time. We have an exceptional team, and a look forward to the continued advancement and expansion of MesoCoat's revolutionary nanocomposites and large area cladding product portfolios for years to come."
Abakan develops, manufactures and markets advanced nanocomposite materials, fabricated metal products and metal composites for applications in the oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, aerospace and defense, energy, infrastructure, and processing industries.

These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book, including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE), which probed back in time to within 300,000 years of the universe's beginning and revealed wrinkles in the fabric of space-time that he had projected. Eager to bring his original text the new knowledge revealed by these many observations, as well as his most recent research, for this expanded edition Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book, written an entirely new chapter on the fascinating subject of wormholes and time travel, and updated the original chapters. This edition is enhanced throughout with more than 240 full-color illustrations, including satellite images, photographs made possible by spectacular technological advances such as the Hubble Space Telescope, and computer-generated images of three and four dimensional realities.

A phase 2 study of standard R‐BAC (rituximab 375 mg/m2, bendamustine 70 mg/m2, ara‐c 800 mg/m2) has been recently ultimated at the Vicenza Hematology Department involving several regional centers on both untreated and previously treated patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). An interim analysis conducted on 30 patients showed that rituximab + bendamustine + ara‐c combination had very good clinical activity, but a quite relevant hematological toxicity, especially in previously treated and older patients (Visco C, ICML 2011 Lugano Conference, Poster 236).
The primary objective is to determine the activity (complete remission rate according to Cheson 2007 criteria) and safety of age‐adjusted Rituximab‐Bendamustine‐Cytarabine (RBAC500) regimen at the end of treatment in older untreated patients with MCL.
The secondary objectives are to determine:
- The rate of molecular response (characterized by labs of the FIL)
- The progression‐free survival (PFS)
- The overall survival (OS)
- The duration of responses (DOR)
- The rate of patients that complete the expected treatment schedule (6 courses)
- The rate of patients that are subject to dose reductions or delays

- complete remission rate at the end of treatment [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The primary objective is to determine the activity [complete remission rate (CR) according to Cheson 2007 criteria]
- Toxicity will be represented by the occurrence of any of the stop treatment criteria or of any episode of relevant toxicity [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Relevant toxicity:
Grade 4 cytopenia lasting for more than 6 days or Grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity or Febrile neutropenia lasting for more than 3 consecutive days.
Stop treatment criteria:
- Occurrence of relevant toxicity for two subsequent or consecutive cycles.
- Grade 3-4 hematological or non-hematological toxicity on day +28 of a cycle not resolving within two weeks.
- Grade 3-4 hematological or non-hematological toxicity on day +28 of a cycle after 25% dose reduction.
- Patient refusal to procede with further cycles due to perceived excessive toxicity.
- Any unpredictable drug related event that suggests against study continuation

Experimental: 1
One arm for all patients.
Drug: Rituximab, Bendamustine, Cytarabine.
6 cycles of 28 days with Rituximab, Bendamustine and Cytarabine (R-BAC). Rituximab 375mg/mq; Bendamustine 70mg/mq; Cytarabine 500mg/mq.
Detailed Description:
Study End points Primary efficacy end point of the study is the proportion of CR defined according to Cheson criteria (2007) at the end of treatment (6 or 4 cycles). Primary safety end point is the occurrence of any of the stop treatment criteria or of any episode of relevant toxicity, as above defined.
Secondary end points are MRD defined response, OS, PFS and DOR (Cheson 2007). Molecular response is the proportion of patients with molecular rearrangements at baseline that become negative during treatment, measured by qualitative and quantitative PCR.
OS is measured from enrollment until death from any cause. PFS is measured from the time of enrollment until disease progression, relapse or death from any cause. DOR is measured from the first assessment that documents response (CR or PR) to the date of disease relapse or progression. Minimum follow up required for all patients will be 24 months.

They sneak in undetected on pets, clothing and even garden flowers. If you ignore the pesky critters, for even a few days, you could end up with a full-blown flea invasion. Unwelcome in any number, fleas can be carriers of diseases and parasites, and if you find one in your home, more are probably lurking nearby. An adult female flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs within three weeks of hatching. A few home remedies and natural products can get help rid of fleas but the keys are prompt treatment and persistence.
Flea-Fighting Power
Fleas can jump quite high, but they typically congregate at floor level -- burrowing deeply in your carpet, where they rapidly breed. Successful flea treatment involves laundering towels and bedding, vacuuming carpet, upholstery and even hardwood floors frequently -- as well as applying one of the following three products:
- Borax: common laundry detergent booster
- Salt: finely powdered
- Diatomaceous earth: pulverized fossil powder found in farm-supply stores
You can find finely powdered salt in some grocery stores, or you can whir it to a fine powder in your food processor. Both salt and diatomaceous earth are desiccants and kill fleas by drying them up. Borax has insecticidal properties that kill fleas. Use one or more of the products in the ensuing manner.
Step 1
Sprinkle carpet with enough powder to look "dusty."
Step 2
Sweep the carpet with a broom to work the powder as deeply as possible.
Step 3
Leave the powder in the carpet for one to two days.
Step 4
Vacuum thoroughly.
Diatomaceous earth may also be mixed with water and sprayed on animal bedding, but don't use salt or borax on or around your pets. Purchase only food grade diatomaceous earth – not the kind used in swimming pool filters – to ensure your pet's safety.
Flea and Tick Repellants
Stuff your pet's bedding with fresh cedar chips, to repel fleas and ticks. Sprinkle some ground fennel, rosemary or eucalyptus leaves around the bedding or make small fabric sachets and tuck them in the doghouse to send fleas scurrying.
