PET Scans with a Pacemaker
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My 88 yr. old mother is scheduled to have a PET scan this week but has a pacemaker. Can this test be performed on a patient with a pacemaker?
Peeyush Bhargava, MD, Chief Fellow in the Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Patients with metallic implants, prostheses, pacemakers, or other devices can safely undergo a whole body PET scan . These devices are not a contraindication to performing the exam.
Patients should remember to inform the technologist about the presence of these devices at the time of the scan. If recently placed, these can give rise to inflammatory FDG uptake around them, similar to how a tumor would, so this would need to be clarified. These can also cause artifacts if the patients are undergoing a PET-CT study, with the CT data being used for correction of PET images. Usually, with prior knowledge, the radiologist is able to read around these artifacts or to recognize them on the images.

Norbert is also giving a 16 page PDF FREE in which he explains his Bollinger Bands Strategy that has been programmed into this robot. Norbert claims that he is making $15.4K per month average with his robot.
Seattle, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/15/2014 -- German Binary Robot has been developed by Norbert (German Banker). Norbert claims that this German Binary Robot makes him over $15,400 every month. He has made a video where he logs into a few of his trading accounts live on camera and shows huge amounts made by him in each one of those accounts.
German Binary Robot uses highly optimized risk and money management strategies that never risk more than 5% of the account in any trade. It has got set and forgets settings that don't require hours of tweaking. The drawdown is just 2.83%, which can be considered ultra low. It uses a breakthrough partial stop loss technology. This partial stop loss technology ensures that when this German Binary Robot opens a trade, it takes the earliest opportunities to begin closing out parts of the trade to keep your principal investment safe. Then it keeps on siphoning profits out of the market little by little giving maximum profit potential with just a tiny fraction of the usual risk!
This is what Norbert says: "I've got a confession to make: I haven't done any of my own trading for years! What I've been "trading" with… and steadily perfecting… is a 100% automated version that exploits this hidden "glitch" hands-free 24/5/365… without any "interference" from me except checking the account balances… A TRULY autopilot system based exclusively on what has WORKED for me in my own trading (and not just for a few weeks or a few months… but five full years)…"
This is what Jaden S. says: "I started using German Binary Robot on a "demo" account just to test it… and the account tripled. Needless to say, I tried it on my "real" money account. Results? Over $11,000 pure profit in just 3 months of trading. Thanks so much!"
German Binary Robot is also giving full 10 days of no questions asked money back guarantee so that anyone interested can test drive his robot. He has also included a few fast action bonuses:
Fast Action Bonus#1-The Broker Report
Binary options brokers are notorious for changing the real market values between the buy and sell prices so it is very important that the right broker is chosen.
Fast Action Bonus#2-Full license of German Binary Robot
About www.GermanBinaryRobot.com
The whole strategy of German Binary Robot trading formula is extremely easy for people to understand. Novices can learn through easily. Moreover, the percentage profit of this software will not be altered by any rectification in the market trends.

What If the Early Customizers Had Been Truck Guys?
One of the biggest advantages to choosing an early '60s theme for his custom '58 Chevy Apache is that it gave Pete Wittenberg a lot of freedom and flexibility. By that era, custom styles had become wild and diverse. Build a vehicle with a '40s or '50s theme, and you're inviting criticism from people eager to insist that "they didn't do that back then." When you move up into the '60s, comments like that lose their clout because the whole point of '60s styling was to do something different.
When Pete got it, the '58 was a non-running, all-stock Stepside. He'd already been given a '74 Chevy C10 and was getting ready to rebuild the motor and use it as a shop truck. A friend owned the Apache and wanted to trade it for something he could drive right away. So Pete fixed the '74, traded it for the '58, and decided to build the older truck quickly as a "rolling business card" for Pete's Rod & Custom, his shop in Anaheim, California. With that initial investment of $0, the project began. Pete doesn't consider it a "project" as much as seven years of constant variations and changes that eventually ended up like this.
When work began, the exterior was pretty rough, with rust on the cab corners and elsewhere. Once the sheetmetal work began, it was hard to stop. The truck underwent most of the custom mods the '60s are remembered for: nosed hood, moulded seams, sectioned crown, one-piece door glass, and shaved door handles and trim. Pete performed a taper chop on the top, carving 2½ inches at the A-pillars and 2 inches at the B-pillars. The rear window was kept stock, but lowered; other glass was chopped by Paul Rick. Justin Bergsto and Jason Pyne contributed to the bodywork as well.
As you can see, a Fleetside shortbed takes the place of the original Stepside. A custom rear pan replaces the rear bumper. The bed floor is 16-gauge steel. Clamshell doors in the wheel tubs allow access to the airbag suspension. A white furry fabric cover takes things straight back to the show rods and customs of 50 years ago. The DuPont paint color is a custom gold pearl/green mixed and applied by Pete and Justin Bergsto. West Coast 'striper Dennis Ricklefs added the gold scallops and pinstripes.
The look is completed with period-style wheels and tires. Wheelsmith 15-inch steelies have been powdercoated glossy black and dressed up with Starburst wheel covers from Mooneyes. The nostalgic wide whitewalls are American Classic low-profile radials.
With those looks, this truck had to be a pavement scraper. Step-notched rear framerails, reversed and de-arched rear leafs, Doetsch shocks, and front and rear Firestone airbags put Pete's '58 in the weeds. Air suspension compressors and tanks were located in front of the bed. A '78 Olds front clip was added to the '58 frame, and the stock rearend was replaced with a mid-'70s Camaro 3.20:1 rear. For braking, an ABS master cylinder, booster, proportioning valve, and pedal assembly are plumbed to Olds discs and Camaro drums.
The engine compartment is packed with a Chevy 350 small-block built by Pete in period style. The center of attention is the Cadillac-style air cleaner, finished in gold paint and white pinstriping. Below that, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor is mounted on a vintage-looking GM polished aluminum dual-plane intake with a breather tube. An HEI ignition provides fire. Stock exhaust manifolds and 30-inch Blue Streak glasspacks take care of the exhaust. Ron Walzak in Anaheim built the Turbo 350 transmission, modified with a mild shift kit.
Inside the cab, things are finished with period simplicity. At L's Upholstery in Anaheim, the stock bench was reupholstered with a diamond tuck pattern, like you would have seen in the customs cruising Bellflower Boulevard at one time. The black Naugahyde is contrasted with green stitching and piping that matches the body color. The door panels were kept simple with black semi-gloss. Pete smoothed the entire steel dash, 'striped by Ian Hartley, and installed Auto Meter gauges underneath. Kick panel speakers are part of the Alpine stereo system. A tall Gennie floor shifter replaces the old column shifter, and a '70-something Chevy van tilt column is topped with a Mooneyes metalflake steering wheel.
Since we took these photos, the Chevy taillight lenses have been replaced by '50 Pontiac lenses in the Chevy bezels, and fender spears have been highlighted with silver 'flake paint and chrome tape. That's why we couldn't get Pete to call his truck "finished." Typical of early '60s customs, the '58 is still undergoing constant variations and changes—and always will be as long as Pete's having fun. "I got carried away," he told us, "and now I don't use it for anything but showboating!"

Fiscal Monkey Business
Congress pulls another stunt to break the sequester spending caps.
WSJ Editorial, October 1, 2013
As the budget histrionics continue, both parties are slyly doing what Congress does best—spend more money. We reported last week that the GOP House has already agreed with Senate Democrats to raise spending in 2014 by $19 billion over the Budget Control Act caps—to $986 billion from $967 billion. But now Senate budget experts have identified in the spending bill some $18 billion more of mostly phantom savings from "changes in mandatory spending programs," also known appropriately enough as Chimps.
Here's how it works. While the budget caps cover mostly discretionary spending, they include a few mandatory programs. The House bill moves $18 billion from those programs from 2014 and pushes them into future years. For example, the bill moves into 2015 $8.9 billion from the Justice Department's "crime victims fund" and $1.6 billion from the Justice and Treasury mandatory budgets, and another $800 million from the Department of Agriculture into 2015 and beyond.
This frees up $18 billion more for Congress to spend in fiscal 2014 on discretionary accounts like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting without technically violating the sequester caps. It's a classic shell game to let Congress spend more while pretending it doesn't. The Members are betting they'll make a deal before 2015 to break the caps, so they'll get to spend more this year and more in the future too.
"We're almost $36 billion over the caps," says GOP Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, a rare spending whistleblower. Too bad no one is listening, least of all the Republicans who are beating their chests over a "defund ObamaCare" fight they have no chance to win. They are, however, losing leverage over spending.

CHALLENGE TITLE: Embrace Clojure
CHALLENGE: Use Clojure to write any sort of application you like. Use it to write a web application, a desktop application, or anything in between. Use some of your existing Java code in Clojure, or create a clone of one of your Java apps in Clojure. Have fun.
Clojure is an amazing new language that was created two years ago by a man named Rich Hickey. It is not an implementation of an existing Lisp, but a whole new Lisp in itself. It isn't held back by the limitations of the Common Lisp standard. It embraces the JVM to offer direct and idiomatic interoperation with Java (or any other JVM language), so you can use any existing Java code in Clojure, without wrapping it in a Lispy wrapper.
Here is what is written on the front page of clojure.org:
"Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine (and the CLR ). It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection.
Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system that ensure clean, correct, multithreaded designs.
I hope you find Clojure's combination of facilities elegant, powerful, practical and fun to use."
Clojure is the fastest growing language I've ever seen. It has gained a large following in just two years of development. The language has a book called Programming Clojure written about it, and three other books are in the works (one of them will be finished in February). If Clojure can do everything it has done in two years, I feel this language has an amazing future ahead of it.
There are lots of resources right at the homepage at http://clojure.org/, including API documentation, very good screencasts, a list of libraries, a cheatsheet, and various other general information about Clojure.
There is a relatively stable Eclipse plugin in active development, here: http://code.google.c...ounterclockwise, though it doesn't offer auto-indentation yet. I've been bugging Laurent about that lately, so it shouldn't be too long.
There is a stable and pretty feature-complete Netbeans plugin you can find information about here: http://www.enclojure.org/
There is also an IntelliJ plugin you should be able to google to find.
By far, most Clojure users use Emacs coupled with clojure-mode and swank-clojure and Slime as their development environment, including myself. You'll get the most out of Clojure by familiarizing yourself with Emacs a bit, and setting it up with Slime as detailed on the swank-clojure github page, but you don't have too. I do strongly recommend it.
There is a very comprehensive Clojure tutorial here that some say is on par with the Programming Clojure book: http://java.ociweb.c...re/article.html I've not read it, though I think I will when I get a chance. I'll point out that some things are probably a bit outdated, but as long as read changes and such after reading through the tutorial, you should be fine. Programming Clojure is a little outdated as well, but luckily, a ton of more books are being written. For instance, Clojure has protocols (which are like interfaces in OOP), and types which are kind of like C structs. Types created with deftype are making Clojure's struct-maps obsolete, so if you're using Clojure from it's master branch, where deftype and defprotocol now exist, remember to use deftype instead of structs. If you are going to use the last major release (Clojure 1.1), deftype and defprotocol don't exist and struct usage will be fine. Just a little tidbit of knowledge for yas!
I'll note with enthusiasm that you do not have to know Java in order to learn Clojure. Yes, it definitely helps, and it helps even more if you know your way around the Java API, but it isn't necessary. As a matter of fact, learning and using Clojure can expose you to Java a bit, and make it easier to find your way around if you learn Java in the future. Since Clojure can directly access Java code, you have the entire Java library at your disposal. Where Java isn't broke, Clojure doesn't fix it.
Beyond what I've explicitly mentioned, I encourage you to explore the Clojure website I linked first; it has tons of good information.
Oh yeah, and you're going to want this: http://github.com/te...mancy/leiningen
This depends on what editor you decide to use. There is really no point in putting getting started information here. If you use Emacs with Leiningen (or maven) as your build tool, this will be self explanatory. Leiningen (or maven) will handle dependencies for you, even Clojure and the companion group of libraries, clojure-contrib. Otherwise, you'd just want to slap whatever Clojure version you want on the classpath (you probably know how to do this in the popular Java IDEs) and start coding.
- Write a tool you can use for your Java development.
- Plan to write something in Java? Write it in Clojure instead!
- For more advanced users: Think of a language feature you wish Clojure had, and then write that feature as a freakin' macro!

Lions sign fullback Jed Collins to 1-year deal
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) The Detroit Lions have added a fullback to their offense.
Detroit signed Jed Collins to a one-year contract Wednesday. He started 26 of 47 games the previous three seasons for the New Orleans Saints.
Collins reunites with Lions offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, who was previously an assistant coach in New Orleans. Lombardi plans to use a fullback, a position Detroit had phased out under former coach Jim Schwartz.
Collins started eight games last season for the Saints and had 15 carries for 45 yards rushing and a touchdown along with 14 receptions for 54 yards. In Collins' career, he has 19 rushing attempts for 49 yards and three touchdowns and 39 receptions for 174 yards and four scores.

presents the 2nd Annual
The Summer Reading Program has activities available for teens and adults, but the largest participation is in the children's department. There, weekly summer programs make books come to life with puppets, science experiments, crafts, live animals and more. Prizes and books funded by the Foundation are given to children who read books and complete their progress charts.
The Imagination Station is an interactive, hands-on learning opportunity for young library patrons. The usage of the Teen Room, where the Imagination Station is housed, has increased dramatically. The Library's Teen Room has become a social gathering place for teens, as well as a place to study and do research. The Foundation funded the Imagination Station and hopes to add to it in the future.
The Foundation has established a community partnership with the Vanderbilt Monroe Carrell Children's Hospital at Williamson Medical Center. The Imagination Library Middle Tennessee and Ingram Books donated books through the Foundation to be placed on a cart for patients to have access to during their stay.
In addition, students at Oak View Elementary collected used books to be placed in the Emergency Room. Future connections through this partnership are planned.
The Williamson County
Library Foundation sponsored the first annual Student Art Show, featuring one
piece of fourth grade art from almost every elementary school in Williamson
County Schools and the Franklin Special School District. There was a reception
for student artists, their families, teachers, and principals, as well as other
community leaders, at the main library in Franklin.
The student artwork will be displayed in the student's local public library until next spring when other pieces will then be submitted from the schools. The libraries are excited to showcase this student artwork, as many families and community members will be able to view the art throughout the year.
The library has offered "A Visit with Santa Claus" for four years, and it is a delightful time for young and old alike. Pat Petty IS Santa Claus. There are over 200 children who come with their families to see Santa. The library staff decorates the story theater and it looks magical. The parents are very appreciative because it is such a pleasant experience. Families from all walks of life come, including those who could not afford to take their children to the mall. The Foundation pays for Santa's time and for the goodies that are handed out to the children.
Another program funded by the Foundation is the monthly Lego programs. The Lego blocks that the children build with were purchased with Foundation money. It is extremely well attended and the kids are enthusiastic and engaged.
The writing workshop for adults, Best Practices for Self-Publishing, was presented by the Foundation. This all day workshop featured published authors and industry professionals who offered ideas and suggestions to help participants make their books stand out.
MTEMC GRANT Early Literacy Computers
Library Foundation uses MTEMC grant to help buy computers for WCPL's Children's Dept.
The Williamson County Library Foundation recently received a $9,600 grant from the Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation through the MTE Customers Care program, which is intended to support projects that benefit communities in their service area.
The Library Foundation has supplemented this grant and has purchased a total of five AWE Computers for the library system. Four Preschool Computers were purchased for the branch libraries and an After School Edge Computer was purchased for the Williamson County Library's Children's Department.
The computers, which are aligned to state educational standards, offer a safe, self-contained learning environment not tied to the Internet. The After School Edge is designed for use with elementary school children ages 6 - 12 for exploration, remediation, enrichment and homework assistance.
Local author Wren Anderson signed copies of her latest book, Smile Spotters, at the main branch of the Williamson County Public Library. The book tells the story of Tooth Fairy helpers who encourage children to brush and floss their teeth regularly. The set includes a boy or girl Smile Spotter, which children can name and clip to their bathroom mirrors to report back to the fairy boss about the child's dental hygiene habits. The event featured the Smile Spotters themselves, and those in attendance were served treats and given toothbrushes to take home.

Mary N and Katy Searcy read Smile Spotters to a few of the children at the book signing event.
Bullets and Bayonets: A Battle of Franklin Primer was funded by the Foundation and published by Academy Park Press, an imprint of the Williamson County Public Library. The project was a collaborative creation by library staff, and it tells the story of the Battle of Franklin in the words of the participants. Soldiers and citizens bear witness to what they observed, experienced and felt about a battle that forever changed the lives of all who were there. Both school systems in Williamson County have purchased numerous copies to be used in classrooms, and the book continues to be a best seller among library patrons, history buffs, and community-minded citizens. Visitors to Franklin find this a good resource that contains concise information and outstanding pictures as a resource for reference or a memento of their visit. Sales of the book benefit the Foundation, which in turn supports the work of the library.
The first Evening with Storytellers, featured authors Eric Jacobson, Thomas Flagel, and Bryan Lane as they shared their insights, based on years of research, as to why the Battle of Franklin is the Greatest Story of the Civil War. The program began with wine and appetizers, and was enthusiastically received by a large crowd in attendance. The Foundation plans to host future author events to benefit the library and to increase community awareness of all the library has to offer.
The Foundation sponsored a program for children in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Franklin. Highlights included President Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address, Margie Thessin, author of Lizzie's War, hands-on activities with a Civil War Traveling Trunk from the Tennessee State Museum, and Civil War re-enactors.

There's a lot of propaganda in the media about how walkers can be dangerous and dirty. But they are the most gentle friends in the world. I once saw a coil leg model carefully stepping over some tree frogs that were crossing the road. Just because they're big and bulky doesn't mean they'll hurt you.

The mere mention of options can send shivers down the spine of investors who have only heard about them through the news. Many of the ways options are used are given exotic sounding names, like the butterfly spread, and require complex mathematical models to understand. And, to be sure, when used imprudently, options can do a great deal of damage to a portfolio. But, when used prudently, options can be a valuable addition to an investor's toolbox.
There is one option strategy that is particularly easy to both understand and use, even for the novice options investor: covered calls. For most cover call sellers, the basic idea is simple: sell the right to buy a stock when the expectation is that the call buyer will not want to exercise that right. Hugh?
In simple terms, you may own a stock that you don't expect to advance materially in the near term. You might believe it will stay flat, rise only modestly, or even fall. When you sell a call on such a stock, presumably at a price that is near or higher than the current value, you are selling to someone the right to purchase that stock from you at the higher price. You get paid for giving them that right. If you are correct and the stock does not advance beyond the price stipulated by the call, you get to keep the price that was paid for the option and the stock (which you presumably want to keep). If you are wrong, and the stock advanced beyond the price stipulated by the call, you may have to sell it at that price. In this case, you get any profits from the sale of the stock (based on your original purchase price) plus the amount received for selling the call.
There is very little risk involved in this type of options trade because you own the stock in question. The worst-case scenario is that you have to sell the stock you own, which potentially limits your upside potential. The best case is that you get to keep the stock and the price of the call you sold. These are the only two outcomes if you don't close the position prior to the maturity date of the call.
How can this help you? Keeping it simple, it can increase the amount of income you generate with your portfolio. There are some mutual funds, such as Gateway Fund (GATEX), that use this technique (see related article ), as well as some exchange traded funds (e.g., PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio (PBP)) and closed-end funds (e.g., BlackRock Enhanced Dividend Achievers Trust (BDJ)). You might consider examining these investment options to get a handle on what the managers of the funds are doing and how you could apply their methodologies to your own portfolio. You might even decide to stop there and "outsource" this technique to a professional.
Pairing your portfolio with Value Line's Options Screener, however, is the easiest way that a subscriber to The Value Line Options Survey can use the covered call technique. There are several ways to do this, but the simplest one is to put the tickers of the stocks in your portfolio into the screener and the screener will provide ranks for several different option trades, including call writing, for every stock ticker you put in. Using this as the starting point, you can evaluate the potential covered call transactions available to you.
Clearly, more homework is needed on using Value Line's Option Service before you jump in and do a trade, but it's meant to be pretty simple to understand and apply the System's recommendations. That said, covered call writing isn't terribly complicated, so going it alone is a viable "option", too. In that case, you should consider educating yourself fully on the topic before heading out to call your broker. To that end, Value Line provides a primer on covered calls in our option education section that is quite useful.
Once you are more confident with covered calls, you might find other options strategies of interest. But covered calls are probably the best starting point for adding options to your portfolio.

Realtek Gigabit 8169SC Network card not workies!!
I brought a 'Plexus' (technically unbranded) gigabit pci card. The dmesg output is that there's no driver attached.
First i tried with re and rl activated in the kernel, as the kernel says re(4) is for the 8169 cards, but realtek say the 8169sc is rl. Then I downloaded new rl drivers from realtek and then 'cp if_rl.c to /boot/modules/if_rl.ko', i removed both re and rl drivers from the kernel, recompiled and added if_rl_load="YES" to loader.conf, this has not changed anything however.
I have a nfe card built-in to the motherboard and another 10/100 realtek pci card on rl0.

Thanks to anyone who may be able to help!
I know some work was going on with this recently due to the fact that that chip and some other of Realtek's new cards use a different setup and therefor required changes to the FreeBSD driver. Updating to a recent -STABLE (csup tag RELENG_7) may solve your issue, and it should appear under the re driver. Try it first with a GENERIC kernel.
Great thanks, Il give that a try!
Is there any stability issues with RELENG_7 instead of RELENG_7_0?
To change to RELENG_7 do I change cvsup, cvsup sources, make buildworld, make buildkernel, make install kernel, boot into single user mode and make installworld?
I've read through the handbook and this is (as far as I can make out) what I have to do? I did this plus mergmaster to upgrade from 6.2 to 7 and mostly seemed to go ok!
Yes, but make sure you keep the handbook close. Don't leave out/misorder steps. Other than that it's pretty straight-forward.
Generally, STABLE is not recommended for production environments, except in cases where you have needs like new drivers that haven't found their way into a RELEASE yet. Like this case
Oh, and use csup instead of cvsup. csup should be built-in to your system.

Is there any step like adding pci identifiers or something?
I just found ebuyer sell a D-Link DGE528T for £2 more, and a customer review on that site said it actually works out the box with freebsd 5.3! Damn, all for £2 more! Teach me for being so cheap!
Shall I cut my loses and go buy that instead?
For 2 pounds? Why not...

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh has, in the past, said that gay players would be welcome on his team, but a clip aired on the Artie Lange show on Tuesday night seemed to indicate that cornerback Chris Culliver doesn't agree.
When asked by shock jock Lange at Super Bowl media day if there were any gay players on the team, Culliver answered, "No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.
"Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah … can't be … in the locker room man. Nah."
Asked in November how he would react to coaching an openly gay player, Harbaugh said, "I have no discrimination in my heart. I ask all players to play through their own personality and be who they are. What you ask of a player is to be a great team player and be a good player. My expectations (of a gay player) would be the same."
Other players asked the same question for a 49ers digital magazine story said they would also accept an openly gay player.
Here is a statement from the 49ers about Culliver's comments:
"The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made yesterday, and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community."
And here is a statement released Wednesday afternoon by Culliver:
"The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel. It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience."
The clip can be heard below:

It's a new year and I'm determined to be more productive than last year. There were so many things I wanted to accomplish last year, but didn't. I just didn't have the physical or mental energy to get it all done. So perhaps I need to come up with a better plan.
After watching an episode of Sister Wives, I had an idea. Why aren't there any Brother Husbands? You know, a bunch of husbands that serve a Wife? Think about it.
Jesse Metcalfe could cut the lawn, plant the annual flowers and clean the pool. Oh wait, I don't have a pool. Whatever.
Ryan Scott could heat things up in the kitchen. I'd even let him use my new bronze Kitchenaid mixer.
Scott McGillivray could put up the Christmas lights and do whatever needs fixing in and around the house! He can start with building me a new garden room and then figure out how to retrofit one of the kitchen cabinet hinges which broke months ago.
Seems I'm not the only Diva that thinks like this. Just think of the possibilities! I'd have endless hours to craft and shop!
Now first let me say, I do love my Mr. Diva™…he's a great guy. He lets me be ME. He doesn't put any restrictions of any of my craziness. And he puts up with all my quirks (like how I have to separate all my food on my dinner plate, no red in the house, etc.). However, Mr. Diva™ doesn't help with much around the house. He doesn't do yard work, can't fix things and would never think of doing housework. In his defense, he doesn't insist that I do it either and he is more than willing to pay someone else to do it.
Guess I'll keep him. Anyway, what if all my husbands were sports fans who rooted for opposing teams? And could you imagine the piles of laundry and the dishes?
Happy New Year!

Gerrard: Comments were harsh
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has backtracked on his claims that Everton play like Stoke, admitting he went too far with his comments.
The England midfielder spoke immediately after Sunday's controversial 2-2 draw at Goodison Park, where Luis Suarez had an added-time goal wrongly ruled out for offside.
Emotions were running high in the aftermath and Gerrard accepts he overstepped the mark with his opinion. "Just to clarify I've watched the game again, and I've seen some of Everton's matches this season, and what I said in relation to their style of play went too far," he told the Liverpool Echo.

This week, Papa Kenn reviews THE APPARITION!
"The Apparition"
Director: Todd Lincoln
Writers: Todd Lincoln
Starring: Ashley Greene, Sebastian Stan, Tom Felton
Review Transcript:
The Apparition is horrible. I'm talking "Star Wars Episode 3 'No, I love you more' dialogue scene" horrible. So horrible, I'm giving spoilers to tell you why you should never bother with this movie. If you really want to see it anyway, stop the video now.
The acting is absolutely horrid. Almost as bad as the voice acting in the first Resident Evil game, and that is no exaggeration. The only actor that gave a halfway believable performance was Ashley Greene, better known for her role as Alice Cullen in the Twilight movies. I'm going to repeat that. THE ONLY NOT COMPLETELY CRAP PERFORMANCE WAS FROM A TWILIGHT ACTOR. Then you have Tom Felton, aka Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter films, and Sebastian Stan, aka BUCKY FREAKING BARNES from Captain America!
You know what, I'm actually going to focus on Sebastian for a minute. Now I'm not going to say that his performance as Bucky was anything spectacular, but it was a believable performance and we actually cared about the character throughout the movie. In The Apparition he plays Ben, an unlikeable douchebag that looks like Leon Kennedy crossed with John Connor from Terminator 2.
Anyway, beyond the horribly wooden performance, if this were a superhero movie then his name would be Captain Obvious. I lost count how many times something would be going on in the film, something that only the thickest of the thick (stupid) wouldn't get, and he would blatantly point it out! There's a scene where Twilight and Bucky go to Draco's house, and for some strange reason his audio journal is playing over the house's intercom system. We've heard the audio since they got there. It has been playing nonstop. After two whole minutes of hearing Draco talk to himself, Bucky looks at Twilight and says, "These are his journals." Really? Are you sure?
If you're a horror fan, you know that most horror movies (especially the bad ones) have what I like to call the "camp factor" to them. No matter how bad they are, there's always that campiness to show us that everyone involved in the movie knew it was bad and decided to have fun with it. There is nothing fun about this movie. Nothing! Instead, it takes itself way too seriously and ruins everything for everyone.
Finally, and this should go without saying, but the movie is simply not scary. You see so many cliche scares and "moments of horror" from films like The Ring and Poltergeist. In fact, the only good part about this movie…the only reasonably scary moment in the entire film was at the very end. The very last scene before the credits roll is creepy, unnerving…and it's the poster for the movie. Plus, they show that very scene in the trailer! They took the only part of the movie actually worth seeing and made it the focus of the marketing.
There's so much more that I could complain about: the pace, the plotline, a camera supposedly controlled by a ghost that hopped around like it was on the back of a frog (seriously).
Avoid this movie at all costs, even if you're a horror fan that loves to watch the bad ones just because you can. It's a waste of money, a waste of time, and not even a tub of popcorn drowning in butter can distract you from how painful the experience is.
I give The Apparition: 1/10.
I can't even say they scraped the bottom of the barrel with this one, because that would be offensive to the barrel.
I'm Papa Kenn, and I'll see you next review.

SPF of Clothing
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have seen clothing that has SPF on the label. Is this effective?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
It�s good that you are thinking outside the sunscreen box for ways to reduce sun exposure. Most people do not use nearly enough sunscreen or reapply often enough to get the labeled benefit of that sunscreen. Clothing, hats and sunglasses are important pieces to the sun protection puzzle.
Studies on the sun protection offered by summer clothing found that almost half provided less than the equivalent of an SPF of 30. A typical white t-shirt has a sun protection factor around 7, and this drops to about 3 when it is wet. Darker colored clothing and those garments with tighter weave provide more protection. The more worn or stretched out a garment becomes, the less SPF it offers. All of these variables make it difficult for people to assess the protection of clothing, so a system was developed to test and certify the sun protection of fabrics.
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF, UVPF) is the clothing equivalent of SPF for sunscreen. The standard UPF ratings were developed in Australia, where melanoma is an enormous health concern, by ARPNSA (formerly the Australian Radiation Laboratory). The U.S. FDA or EPA does not regulate clothing ratings, but two organizations have standards that manufacturers can voluntarily utilize. Those standards are the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists Test Method 183 and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D6544. The latter tests clothing after two years of wear.
Clothing is given a rating from 15 to 50+, with higher ratings referring to more protection. A rating of 20 means the garment allows 1/20th of the UV rays to pass through it. A rating of 30 means the garment allows 1/30th of the UV rays to pass through it and so forth. The ARPNSA standard rates clothing according to the percent of UV rays blocked and assign the ratings to a protection category based on this (good, very good, excellent) (table below). UPF of 50 is the highest recognized, so any garment testing above this is labeled as 50+. If a garment is made of different fabrics or different colors, the rating is that of the lowest UPF of all the fabrics/colors in the garment.UPF Ratings and Protection Categories
UPF Rating
Protection Category
% UV rays blocked
15, 20
25, 30, 35
Very Good
40, 45, 50, 50+
97.5 or higher
Clothing that has been tested by these standards will display it�s rating on a hangtag. These products are often quite expensive and may not be necessary for everyone or every situation. Those with particularly sensitive skin and children and babies should consider protective clothing. When you cannot avoid the sun in peak hours or are in for high sun exposure, such as the beach, these garments can be a helpful piece of the puzzle.
You may also see products that can be added to the laundry to boost UV protection of clothing. Many laundry detergents contain brightening agents that can actually improve the protection over multiple washings, but this is not reliable, as some fabrics will lose protection with wear and laundering. Rit Sun Guard is a product you add to your laundry to add UV blocking equivalent to an SPF of 30. It reportedly works in one wash and only needs to be re-applied every 20 washes.

Applying Communication
|Introduction | Equivalent Expressions | Problem Reflection | Classroom Practice | Communication in Action | Classroom Checklist | Your Journal
When we have students work in small groups or as a class and share their thinking using gestures or other motions, materials, pictures, numbers, and words, they are communicating with and learning from one another. Communication, however, can also take place at the individual level as a result of reflecting on our own thinking. You did some very real communicating with yourself as you looked at each of these expressions and determined whether or not they were equivalent to 20.

1. First and foremost, use your common sense. Be aware of your surroundings. Always keep tabs on where you are in relation to your hostel, hotel or other public places. If you're lost, don't look the part. If your eyes are glued to a map while you wander aimlessly into a dark alley, you will look like a tourist. Correction, you will look like prey.
2. Consider mapping out a sight-seeing route before you leave the hotel. Ask for a contact card at the reception desk. This will help you find your way home. Or, at the very least, it will provide you with a number to call if you get lost.
3. Don't stuff your fat wallet filled with cash into your back pocket. (Consequently, watch out for pickpockets in the train stations.) Instead, wear a money belt inside your clothes. Wear it everywhere. And don't carry a lot of money on you. Only bring what you think you'll need for the day.
On the money front, only deal with authorized agents when exchanging money. And don't wear a lot of expensive jewelry. Remember the "prey" comment?
4. Lock your luggage. Lock your luggage. Lock your luggage.
5. When you arrive at your destination, talk to the airport, train or bus station officials about areas to avoid around town. Other travelers are also a great source of information about where and where not to go. (Be cautious about the people you meet. Locals are still strangers. Be selective about the information you share – especially information about your accommodations.)
6. Look out for the tap water in exotic locations. In fact, just don't drink it. Don't order drinks with ice. And don't brush your teeth with it, either. Stick to bottled water and you'll be fine. Be leery of the sanitary conditions of your food, too. Nothing's worse than a bad case of food poisoning. Well, maybe a bad case of food poisoning and a blistering sunburn.
7. Finally, trust your instincts. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. Period. If you happen to get into trouble, contact your embassy. When it comes to legal matters, they're there to help.
Happy travels!

PSA Status after Radical Prostatectomy
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I had a radical prostatectomy 4 years ago for and early stage prostate cancer. I am concerned that my PSA is slowly rising. What should be my next steps? Am I able to have more treatment if necessary?
Neha Vapiwala, MD Senior Editor of OncoLink and Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania responds:
Early-stage prostate cancer patients who appear to have all of the disease confined to the prostate and who have negative margins of resection (margin refers to the rim of normal tissue surrounding the tumor when it is removed from the body - a safety margin, if you will) usually do very well with radical prostatectomy. In many studies, 70 - 95% of these patients will never develop any recurrence of the cancer after surgery. Patients who undergo radical prostatectomy successfully should have and maintain undetectable PSA levels, since the entire prostate, including all of the cancerous tissue, should have been removed.
However, if the serum PSA starts to rise to a detectable level in the absence of new clinical symptoms, one may have what is called a "PSA failure". A PSA failure, also called a biochemical failure, means that the PSA rises above zero but there is NO clinical proof that the cancer has come back on digital rectal exam or radiographic studies. A detectable PSA suggests that there may be prostate cancer present at the microscopic level. In these situations, further imaging studies of the abdomen and pelvis along with a biopsy of the vesicourethral junction may be indicated.
Treatment options in this scenario include no intervention but just continued interval checks of the PSA and periodic rectal examinations. Proper intervention may be necessary if you have more symptoms or if the PSA gets "high enough" (what defines "high enough" should be decided between the patient and his doctors).
One such intervention is external beam radiation therapy delivered to the area where the prostate used to be, called the prostate bed or prostatic fossa. This local therapy can be given for a second chance at cure (salvage radiation) if there is felt to be a relatively high risk of local recurrence based on pathologic factors and time since surgery. In contrast, if there appears to be a higher likelihood of distant recurrence at a site outside of the prostate bed, hormonal therapy is an option and can be given alone or concurrently with radiation therapy to the prostate bed. Hormonal therapy in prostate cancer refers to androgen ablation; these ablative drugs essentially cut off the stimulating effect of testosterone on prostate cancer growth.
Ultimately, it is very important that each patient discusses the details of his case in depth with his urologist and/or oncologist

Cotton Could Serve as Cleanup Medium for Oil Spill: Researchers
(PhysOrg.com) -- The same Texas Tech-created nonwoven cotton technology that keeps soldiers safe from chemical and biological warfare agents may also serve as the perfect sponge for sopping up oil that has polluted the Gulf of Mexico.
As oil continues to gush from the exploded Deepwater Horizon oil rig, a Texas Tech expert in nonwoven cotton technology says the "fabric of our lives" may do a better job to absorb the oil spill than the booms made of synthetic material.
"Already, several million feet of the oil-containment booms have been used to capture the oil spilling into the Gulf," said Seshadri Ramkumar, associate professor of Nonwoven materials at The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH). "They are made of synthetic materials, don't biodegrade and absorb only a third of what raw cotton can do. The properties of raw cotton allow it to soak up 40 times its weight. With chemical modifications, it can soak up to as much as 70 times its weight. And it won't just stay in a landfill forever."
Ramkumar's research focuses on developing value-added materials using nonwoven materials and nanotechnology. He supervises the Nonwoven and Advanced Materials Laboratory at TIEHH.
He is the creator of several nonwoven cotton technologies including FibertectTM, which is used in the U.S. military's decontamination kits. He and a small group of his graduate students are researching ways to use lower-quality cottons that don't make apparel grade for uses such as this.
"The nonwoven industry in the United States is well equipped with technologies that can develop oil-absorbent pads from natural fibers like cotton," Ramkumar said.

You've just got to love my readers.
King Solomon's readers brought their red, white and blue face paint to Saturday's Texans-Bengals football game, Fuel Fix readers brought their suite tickets and MeMo readers brought their binkies. So what did my readers bring? Sound-level meters.
Reader Alisonymous sent Mr. Alisonymous to the game with a portable sound meter, noting to me:
"I don't attend those games with him for a variety of reasons, one of which is that I think it's bat-sh*t crazy to risk inducing hearing loss for the sake of what I personally consider to be mindless entertainment."
I disagree with that, but I'm glad her hubby brought a sound meter. Below is a picture he took during one of the persistent maximum sound level readings at Saturday afternoon's game:
That's 118.3 decibels. Just how loud is this? It's above the level of sandblasting and a loud rock concert, and just beneath the level at which pain begins.
The level also exceeds safety levels specified by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration. The federal organization says a workplace is unsafe if employees are exposed to levels of 115 decibels for more than 15 minutes a day.
I guess this made Reliant Stadium a hazardous workplace for the Bengals offense on Saturday.
Don't know about you, but I have no problem with that.

The inspiring digital imagery is other parts of Bicycle Pedals: What Work for You? piece of writing which is classified within , , and published at March 25, 2016 1:11:41 pm by Sport Reviewer
Bicycle Pedals: What Work for You?: Bicycle Pedal Covers
Bicycle pedals on average bicycles you might buy at a toy or big box store are usually flat with some rough edges and perhaps reflectors on them. They swivel around a metal rod that attaches to the gear-edged plate that turns the chain and thus propels the bike forward.
Bicycle pedals actually come in a wide variety of styles including clipless, toe clip and formed pedals that look like small baskets for your toes to go in. Choosing the right pedals for your ride style takes some consideration.
Flat bicycle pedals are fine for anyone who just rides recreationally on occasion. Although your feet may sometimes slip off, this doesn't happen frequently and you can recover as you coast for a little while. Since these flat pedals come stock on most bikes, they are the most cost effective option as well.
Bicycle pedals with toe clips or toe baskets or any kind are sometime created to work best with dedicated bike shoes. These shoes have more rigid soles and wider toe boxes and fit inside the clips or structure of the bicycle pedals securely.
The point of affixing the foot to the pedal is to maximize the effort to propulsion ratio. This means that when you push down on the bicycle pedals, the force from your legs does maximum benefit to the forward motion of the bike. When your toe is clipped in or otherwise attached to the pedals, you do not lose any of the inertia and your foot will never slip off.

Chamomile - A Natural Anti-Inflammatory
Chamomile has many medicinal uses. This discussion only involves one of its many uses, its anti-inflammatory properties.Chamomile a plant which belongs to the family of sunflowers and has natural anti-inflammatory properties. It contains antioxidants from flavonoids, such as quercetin and luteolin, and chamazulene(an essential oil). For hundreds of years, this plant has been used by many to cure many illness from diarrhea to skin problems and even anxiety because it has a relaxing and calming effect. We'll discuss only the anti-inflammatory properties of this remarkable plant.A background on inflammation:The onset of inflammations like arthritis, acne and rosacea constricts the blood vessels as the tissues become inflamed. This results to a less blood supply going to the cells in the area of inflammation.Less Blood Supply Lesser Cell FunctioningCells need ample amounts of blood for it to function properly. Lesser blood supply deteriorates the cell's performance until it becomes almost useless. Since it does not function normally anymore, our body treats it as a threat and attacks them. Our body mobilizes antibodies to get rid of these malfunctioning cells.Our AntibodiesOur antibodies attacks threats by encapsulating them and produces free radicals to kill the invaders. Free radicals can cause a chain reaction and eventually kill the cells inside the encapsulation. The term for this is respiratory or oxidative burst. That is how our body kills invaders, by generating free radicals.This process can cause some free radicals escaping the encapsulation and could trigger free radical chain reactions to healthy cells. These free radical chain reactions can lead to oxidative damage to healthy cellsTherefore the cell's functions in inflamed tissues deteriorates which then triggers our own antibodies to attack them leading to exposure of free radicals to nearby healthy cells. The more the tissues are inflamed the more our cells are exposed to free radicals which could result to cell damage caused by oxidative stress.AntioxidantsAntioxidants can neutralize or quench these free radicals escaping the encapsulation. Our bodies are equipped with its own antioxidants to neutralize free radicals but may become depleted as the demand rises.The need for extra antioxidants become apparent. Chamomile is a source for antioxidants to protect the cells from oxidative damage and subdue the inflammation with its anti-inflammatory properties.Chamomile can be taken internally or externally.Dried leaves of chamomile can be used as an herbal tea. Drinking this tea can introduce the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties of chamomile inside your body. It is also commercially available and packed in tea bags.Other Health Benefits of Chamomile - to name just a few.-As an herbal home remedy for rosacea and acne.-treatment for diarrhea, indigestion, irritable bowel movement, ulcers-treatment for anxiety, insomnia-treatment for eye irritations and conjunctivitis-helps in healing woundsAs you can see, chamomile has many other medicinal uses. It may be good to consider chamomile as a part of an anti-inflammatory diet but it is not advised for pregnant or breast feeding women. People allergic to ragweed are also not advised to use chamomile. If you are taking other medication, please consult a health professional before embarking on a chamomile diet.

As Ian Brown wandered out on to the stage, looking like a posturing male chimp, he didn't look like a man who was worried about whether he was going to be able to sing.
He looked, as you'd expect the lippy Stone Roses frontman to be, defiant and cocky. But really, whether Brown's notoriously fickle vocal cords were going to perform was what most of the Roses' fans at an almost sold-out Vector Arena were waiting to find out.
And as he sang the opening lines to I Wanna Be Adored - the first song off their classic self-titled debut album - it was clear, he can sing. Hallelujah. So let's party like it's 1989 at a rave at Manchester's famously hedonistic Hacienda night club.
The Stone Roses - who were leaders of the Manchester music scene in the late 80s and early 90s before a messy and bitter break up in 1996 - reformed in 2011 and this was their first time to New Zealand. And they delivered a thrillingly nostalgic, and sometimes shambolic, 90-minute set.
After a fine start, with the lively and vocal crowd helping Brown out by hollering along to the chorus of I Wanna Be Adored, Mersey Paradise (a B-side to single She Bangs the Drums) was worryingly trashy and murky, before it took back off with early single Sally Cinnamon.
There were a few other shaky moments, like on Shoot You Down when Brown struggled to find his voice on the gentler, more subtle song. But next up, and coming midway through the set, was the band's great, psychedelic dance rock anthem Fools Gold - and from there they just got better and better.
Though it clocked in at 10 minutes-plus, Fools Gold was not nearly long enough, and 15 or even 20 minutes would have been far better.
But the version they did was a far different beast from the original as it morphed from a smouldering and trippy groove into a searing and noisy jam with guitarist John Squire's mix of psychedelic squalls and frilly flourishes, and bass player Mani and hard-hitting funky drummer Reni leading the charge.
After two false starts (with Brown giving poor old Mani a telling off), Waterfall was the most beautiful song of the night with its gorgeous spiraling waves of sound, and Don't Stop (basically Waterfall backwards) was masterful.
But the biggest and loudest sing-a-longs were saved for Made of Stone, escalating epic This Is One, where the band really started to kick in together, and a suitably sprawling and beautifully chaotic extended version of I Am the Resurrection to end.
The band looked downright chuffed to be here as they lined up on the stage taking a bow, and ending with a group hug (although Mani got left out. Poor Mani).
"Sorry we took 20 years to get here," offered the bass player before walking off.
And it was all over a bit too quickly really, a bit like Fools Gold, and you were left wanting more, like Elephant Stone for example.

China is Russia's most important and responsible partner in the international arena. The five years that have passed since the beginning of the fundamental complication of relations between Russia and the West have shown that despite prejudices and lack of trust at the grassroots level, relations between the two countries remain friendly.
This is a special issue of Russia in Global Affairs, dedicated to this big topic. Thirty years after the end of the Cold War, euphoria over the triumph of liberal ideology, which is "omnipotent because it is true," has given way to dark pessimism about the future and led to the loss of ideational and moral guidelines.
Our age is witness to a proliferation of discourses about the 'commons'. They are emerging from more and more quarters, and the word is being applied to more things than ever before. One important strand of discourse, claiming to be communist, seeks to apply it to all kinds of spheres, from the earth and its natural bounty to culture, and to all sorts of resources, from the most immaterial, such as common knowledge, to the most material, such as the use of the earth's finite natural resources. Internet activists refer to information and knowledge that exits on the web as the 'digital commons'.
The year 2018 was marked by escalation in trade tensions among the world's largest economies, mostly via bilateral trade restrictions.

Sekula-Gibbs picked as write-in candidate
GOP precinct chairs decide to back her run for former DeLay seat
PEARLAND — Republican Party precinct chairs endorsed Houston City Councilwoman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs on Thursday night as the write-in candidate for the congressional district vacated by Tom DeLay.
"Hopefully now we will have some clarity as to who our one candidate will be," said state GOP chair Tina Benkiser, who called the meeting. "Certainly if we have one Republican candidate on the ballot we'll get behind and start making the calls and walking the precincts and licking the envelopes and running a hard grass-roots campaign."
The precinct chairs, who met behind closed doors, chose Sekula-Gibbs over a handful of opponents, including Sugar Land Mayor David Wallace and former state Republican Party executive committee member Tim Turner.
"Tonight was an opportunity for the Republican Party in Congressional District 22 to come to some healing," Sekula-Gibbs said after the group's decision. "We have come together and there is now a consensus, a majority, and we are going to go forward and win against the Democrats in November."
Wallace, who already has filed and has said he will campaign regardless of the party's action, could not be reached for comment late Thursday night. He did not attend the meeting because of a schedule conflict, but supporters came carrying his campaign signs.
Republican officials had disagreed about whether the meeting and vote was an appropriate mechanism for selecting a candidate for the party to rally behind, but most candidates known to have an interest in running showed up.
And any of them can file as a write-in candidate with or without the party's support.
Select GOP attend
About 250 people attended the meeting at First Baptist Church Pearland, said Harris County GOP Chairman Jared Woodfill. The two-hour meeting was closed to all but precinct chairs in the district and some other party and elected officials.
DeLay spoke and received numerous standing ovations, Benkiser said.
She and other party officials were hoping for a consensus about whom the party should support in what all agree will be a difficult effort to keep the district in Republican hands by mounting a write-in campaign.
DeLay stepped down after winning nomination in March for a 12th term in the 22nd Congressional District, and a court prohibited the state party from replacing him on the November ballot.
Remaining on the ballot are Democrat Nick Lampson and Libertarian Bob Smither, who has urged Republicans to vote for him to continue conservative representation of the suburban Houston district.
It includes parts of Fort Bend, Harris, Brazoria and Galveston counties.
Smither handed out campaign material outside the church Thursday night.
County chairs disagree
Republican discord arose earlier this week as Fort Bend County GOP Chairman Gary Gillen urged candidates to boycott Thursday's meeting.
Gillen said the party's candidate should be picked by a wide cross-section of Republicans and not by an elite few.
He did not attend Thursday night.
Woodfill disagreed with Gillen's stance, saying the gathering was the only practical way to identify the candidate with strongest party support.
