Extensible Detection and Indexing of Highlight Events in Broadcasted Sports Video
Tjondronegoro, Dian W., Chen, Yi-Ping Phoebe, & Pham, Binh L. (2006) Extensible Detection and Indexing of Highlight Events in Broadcasted Sports Video. In Estivill-Castro, Vladimir & Dobbie, Gill (Eds.) Australasian Conference on Computer Science, 16-19 January, Hobart, Australia.
|PDF (411kB)
Content-based indexing is fundamental to support and sustain the ongoing growth of broadcasted sports video. The main challenge is to design extensible frameworks to detect and index highlight events. This paper presents: 1) A statistical-driven event detection approach that utilizes a minimum amount of manual knowledge and is based on a universal scope-of-detection and audio-visual features; 2) A semi-schema-based indexing that combines the benefits of schema-based modeling to ensure that the video indexes are valid at all time without manual checking, and schema-less modeling to allow several passes of instantiation in which additional elements can be declared. To demonstrate the performance of the events detection, a large dataset of sport videos with a total of around 15 hours including soccer, basketball and Australian football is used.

I think it's an underrated gem (as does Vanity Fair), but not exactly a thrill ride. Director Warren Beatty gave the movie a leisurely pace that made it feel a little stilted at times.
Madonna, who at the time had been bad in more films than she'd been good, was quite good in this one, looking and sounding fantastic and jiggling away with most of her scenes.

Liposuction - Houston, TX
After more than a year of thinking it over, I have decided to go through with liposuction to remove excess fat around my waist. I am 26 years old and 175 lbs. over the past 2 years my weight has bounced around between 145 and 190. I have always stored my weight around my waist and I hate my stomach too. I took the treatment and I am very happy that my bumps are nearly nonexistent and very... READ MORE

The 2013 Eisner Smooches: Neil Gaiman, Jonathan Ross, John Barrowman And Chip Kidd [Video]
We've filled you in on last night's Eisner Award winners, but we'd be remiss if we didn't also report who smooched who on the ceremony's main stage. Sandman creator and longtime comic book/novel scribe Neil Gaiman and British television show host/comedian Jonathan Ross took the stage at the end of the show to present its final few awards, but between reading winner names, Ross explained his desire to try kissing his friend again after not quite getting the results he'd hoped for at the ceremony a few years back.
Gaiman didn't exactly reject Ross in 2007, who was inspired to try smooching him following Ellen Forney and Alison Bechdel's smooch celebrating the Eisners' record number of women and queer nominations. Still, Ross insisted on a rematch following a warmup with another man… who turned out to be Torchwood and Arrow star John Barrowman. Thing is, Barrowman went for Ross instead.
Gaiman didn't completely miss out on the action, though, as designer Chip Kidd brought some affection of his own to the writer while accepting the Best Publication Design award on behalf of Chris Ware for his work on Building Stories. We weren't quick enough to catch that kiss, but we did get the aftermath.

71 Mauser question
Hello all,
Just picked up a 71 Mauser, made in Belgium. That's the basis of my question - I think based on the stamp it was made in Liege, but there are no German stamps on it - it even says "B Mod 71" instead of the normal "IG Mod 71." I assume that was used for Belgian-contracted rifles? Can anyone shed any light on the other markings? On the 2nd photo, is the sight missing an inner part that should extend up/down for long-range? Thanks!
- Jeremy
on bolton hexaform at base of receiver - looks like proof/acceptance marks? looks like a star over D?

I just need money and I'd be set.Originally Posted by SOUTHPAW
Next purchase is a set of ported cylinder heads, valve job, dual springs. Buddy of mine has them for a cheap price. Then decide on a cam. Probably going with a 230' intake lobe and a 114 LSA. Longtubes, intake, pulleys, tune. I want the fast intake, might buy the fast 90 and nick williams tb combo and sell the tb so I can get the intake for ~$700 ish.
I want 450-500whp. Shouldn't be too tough.
Great pics! Thanks for sharing. Looks like a fun little run.
Nice cars!! Is that the shocker I see in the first pic???

That is also the exact setup I was going to go with before I decided to order a centrifugal blower...
I love my cam (.228/.232, .588/.595, 114lsa), it is perfect if you later want to go with a FI setup... With only the cam, full pipes, and intake, I dynoed at 420 whp. The cam gained 43 whp by itself!

Pacific Standard magazine has an interesting article that suggests that Americans should start eating guinea pigs, as some cultures in South America do. There are several good reasons for this, including that they are healthier for us and the natural environment:
Andeans have been eating guinea pigs for thousands of years, so long that there are no longer undomesticated members of the species Cavia porcellus around, although (apparently much smarter) wild cousins like the Brazilian guinea pig and wild cavy do exist in unthreatened abundance. The proto-guinea pig was thought to be larger and meatier—not capybara size, to name another tasty South American rodent—but several-pounds-of-meat size. So while millennia of inbreeding have probably seen the species shrink, modern breeding is re-inflating the cuy…
Most recent scientific work looking at guinea pigs and diet mostly concerns what the animals eat (as a proxy for humans), and not having them eaten (by those same humans), but research from the 1980s finds guinea pig is good for you, with more protein and less fat than flesh from pigs, cows, sheep, or chickens. Guinea pig is also good for Mother Earth—you don't need a Ponderosa-sized spread to raise them, and they convert their feed into edible protein twice as efficiently as a cow.
Some will undoubtedly have an "ewwwwwwwwwwww" reaction, thinking of them as pets rather than as food. But what is the difference, other than cultural assumption? Someone from India is every bit as shocked and appalled that you would eat a cow as you are at the thought of eating a guinea pig or a dog or cat. But they are all sources of protein; they are, in short, meat. And there is no coherent moral distinction between eating a guinea pig and eating a real pig. As for me, I would gladly try guinea pig if I ever have the chance. But then I draw the line at bugs, which many cultures have eaten for thousands of years without thinking it in any way odd or icky.

Comic Relief promises to be as entertaining as ever this year with One Direction, Michael McIntyre and Rowan Atkinson leading the performances.
March 15 will be a night full of charitable fun with One Direction performing their charity single, a cover of Blondie's One Way or Another, while Jessie J will have her head shaved live on TV. She said today: "I won't deny that I'm nervous but I am also honoured to be part of this year's campaign."
The night's fundraising entertainment will be hosted by some of Britain's top comedy talent including Michael McIntyre, Rob Brydon, John Bishop, Zoe Ball, Lenny Henry, Davina McCall, Jack Whitehall, Nick Grimshaw, Jonathan Ross and Claudia Winkleman.
It will also be packed full of sketches from the Call the Midwife cast, Rowan Atkinson as the Archbishop of Canterbury, Fresh Meat and a special Russell Howard's Good News.
Back in 1995 Dawn French had a dream come true when people paid £1million to see her smooch Hugh Grant. This year, when Harry Styles was asked by Heat magazine if he'd fill in for Hugh Grant and give Dawn a snog, he rather uncharmingly replied: "Anything for Comic Relief." Watch this space.

Objective: To compare the clinical effectiveness and hospital costs, the initial empirical treatment, Oxacillin / Ceftriaxone and Amoxicillin / Clavulanate in children with Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) severe.
Methods: Clinical prospective randomized study in children aged two months to five years of age with a diagnosis of severe CAP, according to criteria of World Health Organization (WHO), admitted to the Pediatrics Ward of the Hospital of the Medical School of Botucatu- UNESP. We excluded children with comorbid disorders (primary and secondary immunodeficiency) with acute or chronic kidney disease, referred patients receiving antibiotics proposal and history of allergy to antibiotics proposed. We included 104 children who were randomized into two groups to receive: Oxacillin / Ceftriaxone IV (GCO, n = 48) and Amoxicillin / Clavulanate IV (GAA, n = 56). Patients of the GAA, after clinical improvement, has been receiving the same oral antibiotic, and maintaining clinical stability, were discharged from hospital, the GOC received any IV treatment. The outcomes analyzed were time to clinical improvement (fever and tachypnea), duration of oxygen therapy, hospitalization time, need to expand the antimicrobial spectrum progression to pleural effusion / empyema (DP / E) and hospital costs. Treatment failure was determined by the need to expand the antimicrobial spectrum after 48 hours of hospitalization.

The Sandersillion
One Recipe to rule them all...
During the 12th century of the Second Age, Colonel Sauron approached the Elven chefs of Eregion, promising the power to change Middle Earth to reflect the culinary wonders of Valinor. Tempted by power, these chefs forged 13 secret herbs and spices to enhance their recipes.
However, Colonel Sauron busily forged his own recipe in the heart of Kentucky: The One Fried Chicken Recipe, designed to be so delicious that it would dominate those who wielded the 13 secret herbs and spices.
Realizing they had been betrayed, the elves cast off the spices they had created, vowing to never use them. But Colonel Sauron's dark machinations spread to mortal men, and he lured them into his restaurants with the promise of poultry power.
The men were corrupted by the fried chicken, and became slaves to the Dark Lord's recipe. Slowly these once-mighty kings and captains grew fat and complaisant, unable to resist the finger-licking deliciousness of the One Recipe. They became Nazgizzard -- chicken-wraiths -- suffering unending life in the succor of their lord.

The staff explained the game's production is over - indeed, an extensive playable demo had been released quite a few months ago already, said demo being reviewed here. However, the staff has been working on a "volume up" version of the game, willing to offer "more polished contents" than originally planned. It's been over two years since the game's first screens have emerged, and hopefully, the game will see a release sometime before this year's end.
While there is unexplicably still no Japanese release date for the game, as the staff "cannot give concrete information on the release date", it "should be announced very soon" though. Hoshigami's price has already been announced: as if to make up for all the delays, the game should retail at the rather low price of 4,800 yen (about $39). The US version should release on December 12th, and the box art can be seen here. By the way, did you know Hoshigami means 'Star god'?

May 16, 2013
PITTSBURGH—University of Pittsburgh women's soccer coach Greg Miller announced on Thursday that seniors Morgan Sharick and Caroline Keefer have been appointed team captains for the 2013 season.
"We are excited to have Morgan and Caroline lead this group next fall," Miller said. "Being seniors, they have the experience and leadership skills to guide our returners and the sizable freshman class into our inaugural year in the ACC. Each captain brings something different and unique with their personality and leadership style and they complement each other well."
A senior from Lower Burrell, Pa., Sharick has emerged as a defensive leader in the backline throughout her three-year career. A starter in 47 of her 49 career matches played, Sharick led the 2012 team in minutes played and ranked second on the squad in goals scored (four) and third in points (10). All four of her goals were scored off corner kicks, which established a new school record for career and season corner kick goals. In addition, she also set the school record for header goals in a career and a season. A three-time Big East Academic All-Star, Sharick is a chemical engineering major.
Keefer, a senior from Moon Township, Pa., has proved to be a versatile player while seeing action in either the midfield or backfield over her first three seasons. She has started 54 of her 58 career games played and tallied 12 shots. In 2010, she was named to the All-Big East Rookie Team as well as TopDrawerSoccer.com's "100 Freshman to Watch" list. A three-time Big East Academic All-Star, Keefer is enrolled in the College of Business Administration with an emphasis on marketing.
Pitt's first ACC women's soccer season will feature eight matches against opponents who ranked among the nation's top-25 teams last year. Pitt's 2013 women's soccer schedule also includes nine home games at Ambrose-Urbanic Field at the Petersen Sports Complex and 11 matches which will be played in the Pittsburgh area. Pitt opens its season at Duquesne on Sunday, Aug. 25.
Pitt players will report back to campus this summer to begin preparations for the 2013 regular season. The team reports for preseason workouts on Tuesday, Aug. 6. NCAA mandated practices begin on Wednesday, Aug. 7. The 2013 season will be Miller's second as Pitt's head coach. Pitt returns nine starters and 12 letterwinners from a 7-10-2 team. In addition, Pitt adds a 12-member recruiting class.

DeepShadows English Forum Gone
Looks like the old forum is no longer. I haven't been able to connect there for a month. There was no warning from the sys op, but it had been fairly inactive for a long time with no new members.
I notice the Russian DeepShadows forums are still online.
I was really sad when ShadowMoses' original xenus.net forum closed. We had a great community there that really enhanced gameplay of Boiling Point: Road to Hell. All the tech tips, and mission guides by Little Fluffy Clouds were all lost, and the friends we made there have all dispersed and moved on to other games.
Thanks to the DeepShadows forum, we had the translation patches that allowed us to play White Gold: War in Paradise in English. Great work by a lot of people, especially badmofo, wesp5, meyers 90, guenthar.
Just as well we have a lifeline from RPG Watch, thanks guys.
Its sad, but it was expected… and as I see, the offical site of White Gold and Precursors are dead too. Of course the important is, this RPG Watch community is still alive, but I hope there will be a bit more life on it in the future!
Yes thanks RPGWatch for keeping this iteration of the Deep Shadows community alive.
Such a shame that Deep Shadows went the way it did; I'd love to know what happened to them and whether they'll develop anything again, but I won't be holding my breath…
The truth is I don't really understand them. They had to release the SDK and made a real english version for Precursors and Xenus 2 too, and I think they would be more successful with this two game, and they would have more chance to stay on feet with developing a higher category game, than that adventore games, what they're making now.
Hm, the choice for survival they made is very clear to me. Short development time, small team and steady sales for the current hidden object games compared to long development time, large team and high risk for failure (bad reviews !) for the RPG hybrids.
Plus they don't have a reliable business partner for the english speaking market.
Yeah, even GSC have problems with their STALKER series right now and they even got the needed international hype and media cover which Deep Shadows failed to aquire.
On another note, I could release an updated patch for White Gold soon, which fixes a lot of things and improves the translation some more, but I would like to release the Precursors patch at the same time too. So could someone help me out with the needed 1.1 saved games to look into the flyer problem?
I have a lot of ideas what I want to implement for Xenus 2 in the future, but I have to make some fixes for the SDK before I begin modding… So I working on it now. But there is an important problem, what I probably cant do, and its the converter for the old rf2 models. Because the current engine dont handling the old files. (as i know the response objects not working with them…) Maybe someone else could do it?
Larian did the same thing with switching to easy to make games and eventually when they had the resources went back to the Divinity games. That means there is potential for the return of Deep Shadows.

Re: Cool way to protect the V from the kids
I get it. As I said, I don't have kids, but I dated a woman with a child for a long period of time, and I also have several friends with young children.
Much of my reaction as you pointed out, depends on the reaction of the child. However; I would not be able to hide my anger, nor do I think that punishment would be out of the question. But no, you don't freak out and act like a crazy person and make a child scared of you. I've just dealt with a lot of children who have no respect for their own things, and therefore have no respect for other people's things either. THAT is a problem. Sounds like your kid knew that he scratched your favorite toy! He was sorry for it, not much else you can do. No if it happens again, or a third time, that is a totally different story...
Re: Cool way to protect the V from the kids
I take him to Cars and Coffee here in Cleveland on a regular basis and he knows that the number one rule is: "NO TOUCHIES." Thankfully, he is more interested in playing on the grass or with his iPad than in touching the shiny cars nowadays. He can also point out a Porsche Carrera GT (we have one that comes out on a regular basis) or a Corvette. Smart kid!

> Services > Foam Latex Mask Making
Making a Foam Latex Prosthetic
Special effects makeup artists use a variety of techniques to achieve realism in the characters they help bring to life in the theatre and on film. Prosthetic appliances are generally made of superior quality foam latex or specially formulated silicones that look and act very similar to real skin. The prosthetics are applied to an actor to visually transform them into the character they are playing.
Let's get started.
Step I – Character Design
In this example, the character has a relatively simple costume – a black robe – so we will focus on the face. Our alien has bulbous eyebrows and a nose without nostrils.
II – Creating a Life Cast
The next step requires the actor to have a life cast taken of their head. This involves using alginate (not Plaster of Paris!!), a material that is also commonly used to make dental impressions. A bald head cap made of rubber latex is applied to the actor's head to cover their hair. Vaseline is used to coat facial hair such as eyebrows and moustaches before application of the alginate. Once the alginate has been applied to the actor's head, quick-set bandages are used to build up a hard shell layer to support the alginate when it is removed, since the alginate remains soft and flexible.
Step III –
Creating a Positive
The next step is to create a positive from the alginate mold by pouring Ultracal 30 (a gypsum product similar to Plaster of Paris) in the alginate mold. Ultracal is much harder and more durable than other plasters, and picks up every detail in the mold. The result is a life cast of the actor.
Step IV – Sculpting the Prosthetic
The life cast of the actor is then used as a canvas to sculpt on. Soft clay (in this example Super Sculpey™) is used to create our alien creature. A good alternative which is becoming very popular in the special effects industry is called NSP Medium Sulphur-Free Plasteline Clay by Chavant. I use the NSP Chavant clay regularly. The clay can be reused, never drying out.
A wall of clay around the outside creates a cutting line for the edge of the foam latex. The clay will be replaced by foam latex when the part is cast.
Step V – Making a Mold
An Utracal 30 mold is made from the soft clay sculpture as shown in the photo. What looks like a positive casting or three-dimensional mold is actually a negative casting (the image plays a visual trick on our eyes and looks like it is coming out of the page while in fact it is going in to the page).
Step VI – Casting the Foam Latex Part
Finally, the mold is ready to be used to cast the foam latex part. Casting the foam pieces is an involved process unto itself. The best foam pieces are made from a "hot" cast foam system, which involves four components and a recipe. In the special effects industry, this is called "running foam" which takes experience and trial and error to achieve successful results. Our foam latex appliance shown here has been airbrushed and is ready for application on our actor. The makeup application will take about 2 hours and involves the use of a special adhesive called Pros-Aide to attach the appliance to the actor's face, and applying makeup to blend in the edges with the actor's skin.

The image, she says, pays homage to portraits of Henry VIII, as well as a famous photo of David Bowie parked next to a Great Dane.
Meeker personally connects to the customers he sells to because he himself is a dog enthusiast and owner of a Great Dane.
Nina remembered how Giovanni had nearly choked the Great Dane, and she shuddered slightly.
Here it was necessary to shoot the Great Dane pup we got at the Salchaket.
Then the sight of the Great Dane plunging to the rescue freed him.
She's not alone either; that Great Dane, the watch-dog, keeps her company.
Then, and not till then, Ardea got up on her knees and put her arms around the neck of the Great Dane.
All through the desert night the Great Dane pup lay shivering beside his man.
And then the Great Dane let a howl of anger out on the night wind, and the beast leaped forward again, Trent running behind it.
Just then a big dog, the kind called a Great Dane, came stalking into the hall where the Bunker family was gathered.

UF Bans Cheer Team From Performing Aerial Stunts
GAINESVILLE- Many on the University of Florida cheer team are still in shock at the University Athletic Association's decision to ground the team.
The recent accident at the source of the controversy left one Orlando Magic cheerleader with a broken rib and three broken vertebrae, and a University of Florida cheerleading team prohibited from performing advanced stunts.
Many area cheerleading administrators say they watched footage of the incident and feel it's an accident that could have been avoided.
Santa Fe College Cheer Team Advisor, Stacey Ledvina said, "First for me, I didn't see a spotter which there was no one behind her. For us, there should always be someone behind you in case something like this does happen."
The Santa Fe Saints cheerleading team isn't alone in their adherence to a strict set of safety guidelines outlined by the American Association of Cheer Coaches and Administrators.
The University of Florida also follows rules that may have prohibited accidents like the one on Orlando.

While it's more general malfunction than aggressive A.I. out for revenge, a computer-controlled anti-aircraft gun went haywire in South Africa, killed many soldiers nearby. (The one picture above is the same model, but not the same one.)
The anti-aircraft weapon, an Oerlikon GDF-005, is designed to use passive and active radar, as well as laser range finders, to lock on to "high-speed, low-flying aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and cruise missiles." In "automatic mode," the weapon feeds targeting data from the fire control unit straight to the pair of 35mm guns, and reloads on its own when its emptied its magazine.

Hoping to Get Rid of This Muffin Top !! - Mobile, AL
Im a 29 year woman and have 2 kids. I am about 5'2...
day before my pre op
I go tomorrow for my pre op and to pay for my procedure !!!! im super nervous ...... im so scared that the cuts they make to put the tubes in will HURT that's all im really scared about I have so many questions and will ask them tomorrow. wish me luck
I am 1 week away from having smart lipo and I am super excited. Just wondering if any one elsa was giving these vitamins to start taking a week before. RECOVERY SUPPORT PROGRAM BY VitaMedica ? They cost me 65.00!!! Hope that they are really a good thing and just not a way to get more money ....
3 days left !!!
I only have 3 days left until I have my smart lipo !!! I have mixed feelings , I super excited and super scared !!! But no pain , no gain ......
I'm told to come back one week after surgery for some laser healing ? I didn't know anything g about this til I was all dopped up. Has anyone Elsa had to do this. I was told to take a pain pill n 2 Valium before I arrive n have a driver with me.
not leaking much should i b worred
had surgery yesterday n it was fine felt nothing at ALL I was so drugged up I didn't know a thing. Im feeling pretty good today also just really sore tring to get up and down out of the recliner. I just tried to take my first shower and my dr says to roll on floor on towel on back for 10 minutes and on stomach for 20, so I try my best to do this and get nothing out. So I get in shower and try to sqeeze the holes and get some of the fluid out but cant stand to squeeze and when I can cant get much out. Please let me know if any one elsa had this problem and if I should b worried.
How long did it take anyone to be able to get up and down with ease? My biggest problem is getting up and down I'm fine up or Down my dr told me not to sit up right in a chair for days . And I'm not seeming to drain hardly at all he told me I'd b a human sprinkler and I'm not should I b worried ? Also I have to go back on Thursday and they are going to squeeze my holes and try to get out more fluid. Ouch !!!!
wondering when and if i should start massaging stomach
I go back for my first check up on thur. and my dr has warned this will be my worse visit. I haven't been told to start massaging yet so I guess ill wait couple more days til I see dr and follow his directions. As far as the whole lipo thang it is not near as bad as I thought it might be. I went back to work today , Monday , and had the lipo on thurs. I haven't been sitting up right much don't want to case any ridges in my new shape. I can sit at work but did a lot of moving around today and will until I see dr . Worse part for me so far was getting up and downing into the recliner or onto the couch. I can not wait for all this to be healed and to see how I will look, there is already a huge difference in my shape. I was alittle worried about having extra loose skin at the bottom of my stomach but it just seems to get better and better every time I take off garment to shower ..... I totally think its worth it .......
Hoping more of bottom will shrink in
Things have been going great !!! Thursday will be 3 weeks n I have to go for some sort of massage . I haven't hurt hardly any it's been a easy ride . I know I'm still swollen one bottom I just hope the skin gets to shrinking too !!!! I'm happy if it doesn't because I look great with clothes on n that was my main concern but to look good with them off would n a plus too !
not lumpy
im not lumpy at all I just still am alittle swollen and hard in my lower part which Im sure is where he had to work the hardest. also I did have a bad burning feeling in my left should blade area if I pulled my arm back or moved it to fast or to far backwards which is just about gone now. I know im still early in my healing so I cant wait to see myself in two months . I would say do it if anyone ever ask me for my advice on the smart lipo. I stay in my garment 24/7 besides my shower, and I wear a binder and got a waist trimmer at walmart in the work out section that I wear around my lower stomach area , I was told to do this by my dr. I don't sleep in the binders but I do my garment it hasn't seemed to gotten looser like I see some people post they are in a different stage garment not sure that may come soon .
5 weeks out of surgery
Thursday will be 5 weeks since I had my lipo and let me say I see huge changes !!! I am down from a size 12 to a size 8 !!!!! My clothes look sooo much better on me and I love it. I am still wearing my CG and will for another week and still after that told to wear for another 5 weeks at lease 10/12 hours a day. I am still a little numb in some areas and its so weird but I have no pain and very little swelling . So far I am soo happy and very excited to see if I keep changing , I do hope to have a little more skin shrinking in my lower stomach, other than that I am super pleased !!!

Why We Must Defend Net Neutrality [Video]
So, if you're like us, you've heard the term "net neutrality" in the news quite a bit recently.
Net neutrality, basically, means that all data on the Internet is treated equally, and nothing that you try to access gets preferential treatment over other data.
There's a huge push going on right now to defend net neutrality, and the video below really brings it into language that is easy to understand in case you haven't been able to follow along.
It's a quick watch, but very informative.

Anyone know the pairing code for connection by Windows 7?
The datasheet lists it as automatic, but when trying to connect via the COM port it keeps asking for one… The normal "0000" or "0001" do not work.
Update: Called Techsupport and the paring code is "1234".
No public wish lists :(

Imaging & Biopsy
In determining whether a suspicious lesion, bump or affected area is cancer, doctors will take a biopsy — removing all or part of the abnormal area — and send it to our dermatopathologists for examination and testing. For suspected non-melanoma skin cancers, your physician will likely do one of the following procedures:
- Shave biopsy – abnormal growth is shaved off with a sharp blade
- Punch biopsy – a sharp, hollow device removes a small but deep sample of tissue
- Incisional biopsy – only a piece of the lesion is removed
- Excisional biopsy – the entire mole or growth and some tissue around it is removed with a scalpel
Other Tests
Basal cell carcinoma rarely spreads to other places in the body. However, squamous cell carcinoma may spread to lymph nodes and other organs. You'll have additional blood tests and imaging to learn whether the cancer has grown deeper in the skin, spread to lymph nodes, or other parts of the body. Whether or not cancer is found in these areas helps determine the stage of your cancer. These additional tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Chest x-ray
- Computerized tomography (CT)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Positron Emission tomography (PET)
- Octreotide scan (for Merkel cell carcinomas)
- Lymph node tests
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy – removing cells, a portion of the node or the entire lymph node most likely (such as closest in proximity) to contain cancer
- Fine needle aspiration – uses a thin needle to remove cells from a lymph node
- Excisional lymph node biopsy – removes a portion of a lymph node

Hello fellow backtrackers.
I'm a little new to Backtrack, and for the last couple of weeks i've been successfully working with hacking WPA and WEP.
Now i've come to Bluetooth hacking, as i think this is interesting.
I've been working with it and been watching and reading different guides/tutorials, but it seems to me that those are slightly to old
to be usefull today.
No matter what i try with etc. Bluesnarfer, i cant seem to bypass the "paring screen" on the phone.
Im pretty sure this is possible, though many of you might want to keep the secret to yourself.
I hope theres a friendly soul out there who might want to help me increase my knowledge.
and ofcourse your methods stays with me, im not some noob who is going to publish it with a youtube video or something.
Peace out

Is the #1 ect the one for the dme, or the one for the dashboard temp gauge ? You need to unplug the one for the dme.
Try this (and we're on a fishing expedition here), unplug the ect, clear all the error codes (via the stomp test or by unclamping the ecu for a few minutes), then run another test.
While we're on the fishing expedition, lets rule out the o2 sensor as well. If the above does not help, then pull the O2 sensor's relay. It should be in your dme box...please check with the bmanual for the exact location for your car. That's an easy way to deactivate the o2 sensor. Then drive the car again and see if the problem recurs.
Whatever you try, if the problem does not recur, keep it in test running mode for 2-3 days to confirm this, then change the relevant component.
If these do not work.....well......check the hose that's under the throttle body, that fits into the icv. Make sure it is properly fitted, as best as you can. There should be pretty much no wiggle in it.
Poor idle issues can be traced in the following manner. Start the engine, let the engine's note stabilise, then get a can of carb cleaner, and start spraying at possible vacuum leak points. I'm talking the icv area, the throttle body area, the intake manifold gasket area, the vcg vacuum fitting area, around the afm (air flow meter or air mass sensor) etc. If you hit the right spot, the idle will improve...the car will be sucking in carb cleaner, which is flammable, and combustion will improve leading to a better idle. Even if you find a spot, check through everything that you can think of.
I will do a test with a fuel pressure regulator later and let you know if a bad one can cause idling problems and not merely overfuelling ones.
