A mere six months ago, it seemed a good bet that Hillary Clinton would win the Democratic presidential nomination. It didn't turn out that way. The Op-Ed page asked 13 political experts to explain why they thought her campaign didn't live up to expectations.
1) The Problem Wasn't the Message — It Was the Money
By Mark J. Penn, an adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton since 1995 and a top adviser to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Perhaps the most frustrating part of losing a close race is thinking about what else you could have done to win. You replay the campaign over and over again in your head. As an adviser to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, I sure do.
But the endless armchair chatter often obscures what actually needed to be done.
The conventional criticisms of Mrs. Clinton's campaign are these: she had no message; she ran just on experience; she should have shown more of her warmer side; she was too negative; President Clinton's campaigning hurt her; and she presented herself as inevitable. It is amazing she got any votes at all.
So let's take on a few of the myths. Even schoolchildren got the message that Mrs. Clinton was ready to be president on Day One. As a result of her campaigning and ads, people saw her as a strong commander in chief, a good steward of the economy and a champion for people who needed one.
As the primaries came to an end, she had built a coalition of working-class voters, women, older voters and Latinos, and it held together — and even strengthened — as Barack Obama gained enough superdelegates to put him over the top. Nearly 18 million people responded to her message with their votes. But she went from a lead of 120 superdelegates in early February to a deficit of 40 before last Tuesday.
Experience was a major part of the campaign message, but far from the only one. She talked about the strength it takes to make change happen. Her campaign plans were bold: universal health care, universal preschool, new retirement accounts, a strategic energy fund. She was the first to jump on the housing crisis. She showed a relentless focus on substance and issues, which appealed to working-class and middle-class voters.
She did show her warmer side, and campaigned often with her mom and with her daughter. But it was her strength as a warrior that voters saw — as they had in New York — as she won primary after primary against the odds.
President Clinton tirelessly served as her adviser, fund-raiser and relentless campaigner. He drew enormous crowds and gained significant votes for his wife. In Pennsylvania, for example, she won by almost double the typical margin in the rural and suburban counties he visited.
The Clintons have spent their lives fighting as much as any leaders in their generation for greater equality across racial and gender lines. I believe nothing they said was ever intended to divide the country by race. Any suggestion to the contrary was perhaps the greatest injustice done to them in this campaign.
Are there a lot of other things the campaign could have done differently? Of course. We should have taken on Mr. Obama more directly and much earlier, and we needed a different kind of operation to win caucuses and to retain the support of superdelegates. From more aggressively courting young people earlier to mobilizing the full power of women, there are things that could have been done differently.
While everyone loves to talk about the message, campaigns are equally about money and organization. Having raised more than $100 million in 2007, the Clinton campaign found itself without adequate money at the beginning of 2008, and without organizations in a lot of states as a result. Given her successes in high-turnout primary elections and defeats in low-turnout caucuses, that simple fact may just have had a lot more to do with who won than anyone imagines.
And sometimes your opponent just runs a good campaign.
2) Lost Friends
By Mark Halperin, an editor at large at Time magazine and John F. Harris, the editor in chief of Politico. They are the co-authors of The Way to Win.
People who invested the past five months of their lives following each twist and turn of the Democratic presidential drama should ask for a refund. At the close of the contest, it is now clear the race was on a nearly irreversible trajectory from its opening shot, the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3.
Barack Obama's victory in Iowa established two trends that were decisive. The first was his organizational prowess, which he would repeatedly demonstrate in later caucus states. The second was more profound. He showed African-Americans that he could win among white voters.
Before Iowa, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama were competing vigorously for black support, with Mrs. Clinton winning her share of elected officials and party leaders. After Iowa, black voters saw Mr. Obama as a viable candidate, and he won African-Americans overwhelmingly in every state.
Mrs. Clinton's loss of African-American sympathies was the only major departure from her husband's old coalition. Soccer moms, working-class whites, and "New Democrat" centrists all backed Mrs. Clinton with even more intensity than they had her husband.
Mr. Obama's narrow victory came from a powerful combination of two constituencies. The first was white, highly educated, reform-minded Democratic elites. It's easy to forget how skeptical this bloc historically has been toward the Clintons, whom they view as slick and scandal-stained opportunists. They rooted for the improbable Paul Tsongas in 1992, and for Bill Bradley over Al Gore in 2000.
The second was African-Americans. Bill Clinton overcame political adversity in 1992 and throughout his presidency in large measure because of support from African-Americans, but this time they went for Mr. Obama.
A collection of Hillary Clinton's tactical campaign mistakes would be a thick book. But she lost the race because Mr. Obama summoned the support of one group that never much liked the Clintons — and of another group that always did until now.
3) Divided She Fell
By Ana Marie Cox, the Washington editor of Radar and the founding editor of Wonkette.
Hillary Clinton's 1998 invocation of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" put her squarely among those Richard Hofstadter classified as practitioners of the "paranoid style of American politics," those for whom "what is at stake is always a conflict between absolute good and absolute evil, what is necessary is not compromise but the will to fight things out to a finish."
Barack Obama spoke of a world without these Manichean dualities. He dismissed the notion of "red" and "blue" America. He refused to demonize his preacher or Iran, and painted governance in a palette of grays. Mrs. Clinton could not see anything in terms that were not — it pains me to use this metaphor — black and white.
Her view of the world was in turn embraced by the press that covered her, due in no small part to what Hofstadter might recognize as the paranoid style in American punditry. If she cried, surely it was because her campaign had focus-grouped the tears. If she exaggerated sniper fire, it was only because she thought she could get away with it. And if she mentioned an assassination, well, it might be prudent to beef up Mr. Obama's Secret Service detail. Few commentators allowed that she might be motivated by something as human as pride or as simple as unfounded optimism.
And if she saw a conspiracy in their coverage, well, this time she may have been right.
4) Stuck to Iraq
By Kathleen Hall Jamieson, the director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
Had Hillary Clinton's vote to authorize the use of force in Iraq proved uncontroversial, or had she provided a compelling explanation for it, she might now be the Democratic nominee. Instead, she was saddled with a vote mistakenly remembered as an eager embrace of war.
Mrs. Clinton failed to persuade Mr. Obama's antiwar coalition that she had voted to give President Bush the authorization to go to war as leverage to force weapons inspectors back into Iraq. She failed as well to make real the context of a vote cast after the president declared that "approving this resolution does not mean that military action is imminent or unavoidable." As a result, key groups of Democrats tagged her as a candidate who abetted a Republican president's unwarranted pre-emptive action.
5) Boys on the Bias
By Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey and the head of the Environmental Protection Agency from 2001 to 2003.
Fifteen years after I was elected New Jersey's first female governor, women running for office continue to face huge obstacles. Indeed, watching Hillary Clinton these last few months, it's clear that voters and the news media still struggle with images and expectations of women as candidates.
When Mrs. Clinton made points forcefully, people called her shrill, not bold and determined. When Mitt Romney teared up, he was described as compassionate, while she was labeled weak.
For its part, the news media paid too much attention to Mrs. Clinton's haircuts and jackets, ignoring the male candidates and their endless parade of blue suits and red ties. The press presented Barack Obama with his two years in the Senate as an agent of change, not a novice. In contrast, ABC's Charles Gibson asked Mrs. Clinton if she would "be in this position" if it weren't for her husband.
To this day, a businessman with no elected experience is considered qualified for high public office; a woman with the same background is called unprepared.
Mrs. Clinton's sex was not solely responsible for her loss, but the implicit and explicit challenges that women face are such that we as a country must take notice if we want all people represented in public service.
6) An Accident Waiting to Happen
By Michelle Cottle, a senior editor at The New Republic.
At the Oct. 30 debate in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton could not explain whether she supported a proposal to provide driver's licenses to illegal immigrants in New York.
No candidate could have survived this primary's 1,018 debates without the occasional misstep. But her refusal to take a clear stand fit too neatly into the image of her as a slippery operator willing to say and do anything to win. And just like that, the 16-year stockpile of public ambivalence about and obsession with the Clintons boiled over.
Early in her public life, Mrs. Clinton was criticized for being a true believer. Many of her defining failures (think: health care) stemmed from an unwillingness to compromise or play politics. She was a zealot. A know-it-all. A thudding moralist who always knew best. But shifty? Valueless? That was her husband, with his smooth talk, easy betrayals and parsing of what "is" is. But by the time he left office, she had taken on the same baggage.
Political watchers will talk endlessly of how Bill Clinton hurt his wife's campaign with his impolitic behavior. In truth, his behavior helped degrade her image more than a decade before she set foot on the trail.
7) No Exit
By L. Douglas Wilder, the mayor of Richmond, Va., and the former Democratic governor of Virginia.
Hillary Clinton's campaign was done in by a sense of entitlement and hubris.
There is no greater evidence of that than the fact that, three days after the final two primaries in the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, she had yet to gracefully acknowledge her defeat. By waiting so long, she threatened her future stature within the Democratic Party.
The question now should not be, "What about Hillary?" but rather, how does Mr. Obama plan to win and to lead — with or without Mrs. Clinton.
8) Hermione Clinton
By Heather Wilson, a Republican representative from New Mexico.
The Democratic nominating system favors the most liberal candidate — in this case, Barack Obama.
But there is a second reason Hillary Clinton lost that some are reluctant to openly acknowledge: a latent and lamentable sexism. She lost because the superdelegates — the Democratic establishment — went against her.
She became a caricature: too smart, too strong, too assertive, too rational, too competent. Think how the young Harry Potter and his male friends initially reacted to Hermione Granger and you get the idea.
9) The Gentlewoman from Illinois
By Bob Kerrey, a former Democratic senator from Nebraska and the president of New School University.
I am a supporter of Hillary Clinton with an unusual perspective: I was defeated by her husband in the Democratic presidential race of 1992. I like her, I admire her and I am confident she would make a great president. As a resident of New York, I am glad she is my junior senator, and I am proud of her performance in this campaign.
No doubt she's feeling the disappointment that all of us who have lost races feel. And no doubt she is rewinding the tape to examine mistakes she made that cost her the nomination.
She shouldn't be too hard on herself. If Barack Obama had been born 10 years earlier and had been a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1992, neither I nor Bill Clinton would have defeated him.
Focusing on her mistakes is an exercise in making someone who is already miserable even more so. As is true with every other walk of life, mistakes in politics shrink to insignificance if you win and are magnified beyond their actual importance if you lose.
The hard truth is that from the moment Mr. Obama announced his candidacy in Springfield, Ill., on Feb. 10, 2007, Mr. Clinton was facing a candidate with greater skills than any candidate her husband had ever faced in his life.
So, the most accurate answer to the question of which of Mrs. Clinton's mistakes was most costly is probably one I have heard from a number of people and has been written by many others: She and President Clinton should have moved back to her home state after they left the White House. By doing so, she would have been elected the junior senator from Illinois in 2004, thereby reducing the chances that Mr. Obama would have been in a position to run against her.
10) Forced to Be a Pol
By Jane Swift, a former Republican governor of Massachusetts and an education adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign.
It is hard to be first. Hillary Clinton, the first viable female candidate for president, had to determine whether to run a traditional campaign that addressed the perceived challenges facing women (a strategy that worked in her successful Senate campaigns), or an alternative one that would have flaunted her gender. Mrs. Clinton took the safe course.
At the time, it seemed the right thing to do. She answered the questions: Is she tough enough? Can she keep us safe? But her choice put her at odds with liberals in the primary electorate who wanted new and different, not tried and true. For this reason, it was fatal.
11) Low Riders
By Carl Bernstein, the author of A Woman in Charge.
Faced with unanticipated adversity, Hillary and Bill Clinton took the low road too often, and voters noticed. So did the party leadership and superdelegates, who abandoned her and the idea of a Clinton Restoration.
Barack Obama's candidacy was the Clintons' worst nightmare. They had dreamed of the day when an African-American could be elected president. But they never anticipated it would happen on their watch and were utterly confounded.
12) Faking Umbrage
By Michael Kinsley, a columnist for Time magazine.
For Democrats, it's been a long time between swoons. Anyone younger than 60 was too young to vote in 1968, when Gene McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy last stirred genuine excitement among Democratic voters. Since then it's been George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and John Kerry. These men elicited support, agreement, admiration, maybe even enthusiasm. But quit-your-job-and-join-the-cause passion? I'm afraid not.
This year, millions of Democrats swooned for Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton couldn't do much about it. Suddenly, college students were registering to vote, and elderly widows were sending money.
No doubt the irony leaves Mrs. Clinton very, very bitter. She was supposed to be the candidate of "change." By the mere fact of being a woman, she incarnated a revolution. But then an even bigger revolution came along and her patient, methodical, I'm-a-normal-politician-in-all-respects-except-one approach left her representing the establishment.
The final death blow, however, was self-administered. The theme of this campaign has been umbrage. The candidates took turns pretending to be offended by something another candidate had said — or the other candidate's failure to denounce what some third party had said.
All the candidates played this game, but Mrs. Clinton played it with the most unscrupulous joy. The low point was when she piled on during the ridiculous debate about whether Mr. Obama harbored snooty attitudes toward small towns in Pennsylvania.
So, at the end, when her own clumsy comment about Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June was willfully misinterpreted to suggest that she was wishing that fate on her opponent, it served her right.

The elder Romney would make headlines by walking out on nominee Barry Goldwater because of Goldwater's opposition to civil rights legislation. In a subsequent letter to Goldwater, Romney wrote, "The rights of some must not be enjoyed by denying the rights of others." Romney refused to endorse Goldwater's candidacy, embittering conservatives within the party and solidifying Romney's reputation as a more liberal iconoclast.
When Goldwater complained, the governor wrote, "Dogmatic ideological parties tend to splinter the political and social fabric of a nation, lead to governmental crises and deadlocks, and stymie the compromises so often necessary."
This one comes at the top of my list for 2007, for two reasons.
(1) Romney was not speaking off the cuff. He had plenty of time to think about what he was saying and do his research. The Boston Herald quoted Romney as saying that "my father and I marched with King" as far back as 1978.
(2) He continued to defend the statement after it was challenged, arguing about the meaning of the word "saw."
As governor of Michigan, George Romney supported the civil rights movement, but the Romney campaign has not been able to show that he ever marched with King. Rather than acknowledge the mistake, the campaign put the Politico website in touch with eyewitnesses who claimed that they had seen George Romney "hand in hand." Contemporaneous newspaper reports show that the two men were in different parts of the country on the date in question.
A: I'd far prefer having the representatives of the people make that decision than justices. But I believe the issue of marriage should be decided at the federal level. People move from state to state; they have children. If one state recognizes a marriage and the other does not, what's the right of that child? What kind of divorce proceeding would there be in a state that didn't recognize a marriage in the first place? Marriage is not an activity that goes on within the walls of a state. Marriage's status should be constant across the country. I believe we should have a federal amendment in the constitution that defines marriage as a relationship between a man and woman, because I believe the ideal place to raise a child is in a home with a mom and a dad.
(BEGIN VIDEO)Q: Do you stand by that?
ROMNEY: He is pro-choice & pro-gay marriage & anti-gun, and that's a tough combination in a Republican primary.
ROMNEY: That was very early in the process, in March. He wasn't a candidate yet. I think I have a better perspective on his views now. I'd rather let him speak for his own positions. I can tell you that I am pro-life and that I'm opposed to same-sex marriage, and I support the Second Amendment.
GIULIANI: The reality is that I support the Second Amendment. I clearly believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, although I did support domestic partnerships and still do. And [we should] put our emphasis on reducing abortions & increasing the number of adoptions
Currently, the state party platform does not mention same-sex marriage or voter initiatives. By contrast, the Republican National Committee platform supports President Bush's call for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
Romney suggested that the GOP put language in the platform endorsing a voter referendum on certain issues [like gay marriage].
The state Democratic Party has voted to endorse gay marriage in its platform. The national Democratic Party does not go that far, but calls for equal benefits for gay couples and condemns a nationwide constitutional ban on gay marriage

This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Kaposi sarcoma is a disease in which malignant tumors (cancer) can form in the skin, mucous membranes, lymph nodes, and other organs.
Kaposi sarcoma is a cancer that causes lesions (abnormal tissue) to grow in the skin; the mucous membranes lining the mouth, nose, and throat; lymph nodes; or other organs. The lesions are usually purple and are made of cancer cells, new blood vessels, red blood cells, and white blood cells. Kaposi sarcoma is different from other cancers in that lesions may begin in more than one place in the body at the same time.
Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is found in the lesions of all patients with Kaposi sarcoma. This virus is also called Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV). Most people infected with HHV-8 do not get Kaposi sarcoma. Those infected with HHV-8 who are most likely to develop Kaposi sarcoma have immune systems weakened by disease or by drugs given after an organ transplant.
There are several types of Kaposi sarcoma, including:
Tests that examine the skin, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract are used to detect (find) and diagnose Kaposi sarcoma.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
Classic Kaposi sarcoma is found most often in older men of Italian or Eastern European Jewish origin.
Classic Kaposi sarcoma is a rare disease that gets worse slowly over many years.
Symptoms of classic Kaposi sarcoma may include slow-growing lesions on the legs and feet.
Patients may have one or more red, purple, or brown skin lesions on the legs and feet, most often on the ankles or soles of the feet. Over time, lesions may form in other parts of the body, such as the stomach, intestines, or lymph nodes. The lesions usually don't cause any symptoms, but may grow in size and number over a period of 10 years or more. Pressure from the lesions may block the flow of lymph and blood in the legs and cause painful swelling. Lesions in the digestive tract may cause gastrointestinal bleeding.
Another cancer may develop.
Some patients with classic Kaposi sarcoma may develop another type of cancer before the Kaposi sarcoma lesions appear or later in life. Most often, this second cancer is non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Frequent follow-up is needed to watch for these second cancers.
African Kaposi sarcoma is a fairly common form of the disease found in young adult males who live near the equator in Africa. Symptoms of African Kaposi sarcoma can be the same as classic Kaposi sarcoma. However, African Kaposi sarcoma can also be found in a much more aggressive form that may cause sores on the skin and spread from the skin to the tissues to the bone. Another form of Kaposi sarcoma that is common in young children in Africa does not affect the skin but spreads through the lymph nodes to vital organs, and quickly becomes fatal.
This type of Kaposi sarcoma is not common in the United States and treatment information is not included in this summary.
Immunosuppressive therapy–related Kaposi sarcoma is found in patients who have had an organ transplant (for example, a kidney, heart, or liver transplant). These patients take drugs to keep their immune systems from attacking the new organ. When the body's immune system is weakened by these drugs, diseases like Kaposi sarcoma can develop.
Immunosuppressive therapy–related Kaposi sarcoma often affects only the skin, but may also occur in the mucous membranes or certain other organs of the body.
This type of Kaposi sarcoma is also called transplant-related or acquired Kaposi sarcoma.
Epidemic Kaposi sarcoma is found in patients who have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Epidemic Kaposi sarcoma occurs in patients who have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which attacks and weakens the immune system. When the body's immune system is weakened by HIV, infections and cancers such as Kaposi sarcoma can develop.
Most cases of epidemic Kaposi sarcoma in the United States have been diagnosed in homosexual or bisexual men infected with HIV.
Symptoms of epidemic Kaposi sarcoma can include lesions that form in many parts of the body.
The symptoms of epidemic Kaposi sarcoma can include lesions in different parts of the body, including any of the following:
Kaposi sarcoma is sometimes found in the lining of the mouth during a regular dental check-up.
In most patients with epidemic Kaposi sarcoma, the disease will spread to other parts of the body over time. Fever, weight loss, or diarrhea can occur. In the later stages of epidemic Kaposi sarcoma, life-threatening infections are common.
The use of drug therapy called HAART reduces the risk of epidemic Kaposi sarcoma in patients infected with HIV.
HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) is a combination of several drugs that block HIV and slow down the development of AIDS and AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma. For information about AIDS and its treatment, see the AIDSinfo Web site.
There is a type of nonepidemic Kaposi sarcoma that develops in homosexual men who have no signs or symptoms of HIV infection. This type of Kaposi sarcoma progresses slowly, with new lesions appearing every few years. The lesions are most common on the arms, legs, and genitals, but can develop anywhere on the skin.
This type of Kaposi sarcoma is rare and treatment information is not included in this summary.
Recurrent Kaposi sarcoma is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. The cancer may come back in the skin or in other parts of the body.
There are different types of treatment for patients with Kaposi sarcoma.
Different types of treatments are available for patients with Kaposi sarcoma. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Treatment of epidemic Kaposi sarcoma combines treatment for Kaposi sarcoma with treatment for AIDS.
For the treatment of epidemic Kaposi sarcoma, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is used to slow the progression of AIDS. HAART may be combined with anticancer drugs and medicines that prevent and treat infections.
Four types of standard treatment are used to treat Kaposi sarcoma:
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type of cancer being treated.
Certain types of external radiation therapy are used to treat Kaposi sarcoma lesions. Photon radiation therapy treats lesions with high-energy light. Electron beam radiation therapy uses tiny negatively charged particles called electrons.
The following surgical procedures may be used for Kaposi sarcoma to treat small, surface lesions:
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). To treat local Kaposi sarcoma lesions, such as in the mouth, anticancer drugs may be injected directly into the lesion (intralesional chemotherapy). Sometimes the chemotherapy is given as a topical agent (applied to the skin as a gel.) The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type of cancer being treated.
Liposomal chemotherapy uses liposomes (very tiny fat particles) to carry anticancer drugs. Liposomal doxorubicin is used to treat Kaposi sarcoma. The liposomes build up in Kaposi sarcoma tissue more than in healthy tissue, and the doxorubicin is released slowly. This increases the effect of the doxorubicin and causes less damage to healthy tissue.
See Drugs Approved for AIDS-Related Kaposi Sarcoma for more information.
Biologic therapy
Biologic therapy is a treatment that uses the patient's immune system to fight cancer. Substances made by the body or made in a laboratory are used to boost, direct, or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer. This type of cancer treatment is also called biotherapy or immunotherapy. Interferon alfa is a biologic agent used to treat Kaposi sarcoma.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.
Classic Kaposi Sarcoma
Treatment for single lesions may include the following:
Treatment for lesions all over the body may include the following:
Treatment for Kaposi sarcoma that affects lymph nodes or the gastrointestinal tract usually includes chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with classic Kaposi sarcoma. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Immunosuppressive Therapy–related Kaposi Sarcoma
Treatment for immunosuppressive therapy–related Kaposi sarcoma may include the following:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with immunosuppressive treatment related Kaposi sarcoma.

PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Southeast Asian countries need to rethink growth and development strategies and rely more on domestic demand to adapt to changing international market conditions. In addition, disparities ought to be examined beyond differences in income level. Broader analysis of gaps in infrastructure, tourism, trade and investment, information and communication technology (ICT), human resources, and poverty revealed that disparities are at their widest in poverty and human resource development.
With growth forecast at 5.5% until 2017, ASEAN economies show resilience. However, development gaps – in the broad sense - need to be narrowed in order to sustain robust growth, said Deputy Secretary-General Rintaro Tamaki at the launch of the Southeast Asian Economic Outlook 2013, at the ASEAN Business & Investment Summit in Phnom Penh on 18 November 2012.
Africa sells increasing volumes of its resources to the world, buys much more from it than in the past, but still adds and retains little value on its soil. Mario Pezzini cautioned against unreasoned optimism about the sustainability of Africa's growth path at a Friends of Europe's Ascending Africa conference in Brussels.
Quoting the Centre's ongoing work with the African Development Bank and Prof. McMillan on Structural Transformation and Natural Resources in Africa, he stressed the urgent need for new, labour-intensive economic activities to absorb excess labour from agriculture and channel it into more productive sectors. The results of this work will be published in the African Economic Outlook 2013 on 27 May, 2013.
Most recent indicators on tax revenues from 15 Latin American (LAC) countries confirm that the region is gradually approaching OECD levels: the average tax- to- GDP ratio reached 19.4% in 2010, compared to 33.8% among OECD countries. This shows that tax revenues have already recovered to pre-crisis levels, but still have big potential for further expansion. More than half of this revenue comes from indirect taxes - mainly VAT - and so there is room to make the tax system more progressive.
These are some of the main messages of the second edition of Revenue Statistics in Latin America, launched in November 2012, which covers the period 1990-2010 and provides tax policy officials in Latin America with detailed and comparable data to inform their tax policy decisions.
The evolution of recent economic and social challenges has refocused attention on the importance of institutions and governance for making development happen. Policy makers and thought leaders are increasingly pointing to the importance of how policies are implemented and by whom, not just their design. The OECD Global Forum on Public Governance brought together over three hundred policy-makers, academics and civil society organisations from 63 countries across the world to share lessons learned, good practices and innovative solutions for advancing governance reforms.
The discussions moved beyond the conventional focus of institutional economics on transaction costs, towards emphasizing the critical role of inclusive institutions and inclusive policymaking. The main conclusions were: 1) Providing a level playing field for all stakeholders was seen as an overarching objective for ensuring inclusive policy-making and equal access to opportunities. 2) Efforts to strengthen public sector institutions need to be undertaken within broader governance systems, including the legislature, judiciary, independent oversight institutions, civil society and media.

From what I'm seeing....... the mousepad is further than it should be. anyway, A very nice color compination though. As for lighting..........depends on what kind of scene it would be.

I have trouble understanding the second task scheduling constraint (2.7.1, p59, l29-32):
"Other scheduling of new tied tasks is constrained by the set of task regions that are currently tied to the thread, and that are not suspended in a barrier region. If this set is empty, any new tied task may be scheduled. Otherwise, a new tied task may be scheduled only if it is a descendant of every task in the set."
Does the above talk about just explicit barriers, or implicit barriers too (at the end of worksharing constructs without nowait)? Shouldn't the set also exclude tasks suspended in taskwait regions?
For the latter I'm asking because when a task hits a taskwait construct, but all its descendent tasks are running in other threads (that can happen if the implicit tasks in those threads encountered
barrier region or if the implicit tasks exited), the taskwait will have to be suspended if the only new queued tasks were created by other implicit tasks, while the thread CPU time could be used to work on some new task in the mean time.

The weather also seems to be cooperating with my "take it easy" attitude by being a bit grey and wet so there is nothing for me to do except stay inside and play. ;)
I've actually had this beautiful Marie Antoinette stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie's for quite some time but it took getting this new Sweetness paper pad for me to actually ink her up. I just thought that cool floral print was so Rococo looking and a perfect match for her. I replaced the kinda scary looking crow like bird that came with her for this cute little bird that came with one of my Pergamano Fairy sets... it had that sweet look that I was going for on this card. I also covered her whole dress with clear Spica glitter pen but no luck in getting it to show up in the pic... such is life. Oh and I used some more of Kiara's yummy crinkled ribbon... can't get enough of it! All in all I think this card shows that sometimes you just need to go all out girly and pretty and you can never have enough pink! LOL
Real quick before I take off... be sure to hop on over to the Color Me Copic blog if you haven't already. There is a brand new video tutorial from the fabulous Kelly Booth and it is all about how she gets her perfectly pretty make-up on her stamped girlies... LOVE it! :)

Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Kenny Wayne Shepherd digging into his Fender Custom Shop Signature model during "I Don't Live Today." The Strat features an alder body, a thick maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, and custom-voiced single-coils.
Of all the players who took the stage in Milwaukee, Kenny Wayne Shepherd was the most like a man possessed of Hendrix's spirit. He wielded an array of Strats ranging from Custom Shop models based on his '61 to a replica of Hendrix's Monterey guitar, but it wasn't his gear choices that were so reminiscent of Jimi. It was the fact that he gave the most provocative and aweinspiring performance of the night.
During his four songs, he plugged his Strats into a handwired Fender '64 Vibroverb reissue and a Tycobrahe Octavia and played with a passionate, fearless stage presence that dripped with Hendrixian charisma. Others played with their teeth and behind their back—as did Shepherd—but he raised the bar by playing under his leg, squatting down with his headstock pointed skyward (just like Jimi in the liner notes of Axis: Bold As Love), slid on his knees during solos, and covered the gamut of Hendrix-inspired moves without shame or inhibition—and without coming across as cheesy or schmaltzy.
Tonally, Shepherd lit the place on fire during "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)." The first five seconds of the song had barely reverberated through the soldout Riverside Theatre before the crowd was on its feet, pleading for him to take it to another level. And he obliged. He worked his Crybaby wah with precision to ensure the proper wah-chuk-a-wah sounds.
The extended solo contained some of the finest guitar playing of the night—it closely resembled Hendrix's recorded rendition but also had Shepherd's own bent. He ended the tune on his knees, reenacting Hendrix's 1967 Strat burning at the Monterey Pop Festival. The way Shepherd owned the stage was an art form in itself. For his set, KWS was Hendrix.
Shepherd plugged into the first input of his Fender '64 Vibroverb reissue's Vibrato channel. The mic is a Sennheiser e609.
During "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," Shepherd played this Fender Custom Shop Hendrix Monterey Pop Festival Strat, which has a maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and three vintage single-coils. The alder body features a recreation of Jimi's original artwork that was hand-painted by Pamelina H.
To get Hendrix-style tones, Kenny Wayne Shepherd mixed up his pedalboard for this particular tour. He went with a Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner, an Analog Man AR20DL Analog Delay, Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2, an Analog Man BI-CHORUS, a handwired Ibanez TS808HW Tube Screamer, an Analog Man King of Tone overdrive, a Tycobrahe Octavia, and a Dunlop Crybaby wah.

Tehran, Iran, Aug 21 : Iran's official news agency says the country has upgraded a short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile just weeks after it was test-fired.
Tuesday's report by IRNA says President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled the new version of Fateh-110, or Conqueror.
IRNA says the new version has a quicker launch capability and longer life but gave no other details. It has been in service in Iran over the past decade.
Iran claimed earlier in August that it successfully test-fired the missile, which has an improved accuracy to strike land and naval targets within a 300 kilometer (185 mile) range.
Iran has been pushing to upgrade its missiles, which already can target Israel and other parts of the region.
The pursuit is part of Iran's efforts since 1992 for a self-sufficient military program.

SALT LAKE CITY – When it comes to head lice, there's an inescapable ick factor.
So when parents are notified of an outbreak at their child's school or they see them on their child's head, most rush to the store to buy a fine-toothed comb, specially formulated shampoos or other products designed to eliminate them.
Because head lice reproduce quickly and have evolved to resist treatments, eradicating them can be difficult and time-consuming.
Ashley Hafer, a surgical nurse, says her personal experiences of ridding her twin daughters of head lice were instructive.
"Both of my girls had bugs in their hair. It was the bane of my existence. However, it became a business opportunity," she told the Deseret News.
Hafer and scientist Rita Skolnick are owners and operators of Hair Maidens professional lice removal service that recently opened a clinic in downtown Salt Lake City. Hair Maidens uses technology that literally blows lice away.
More correctly, the AirAllé medical device blows air warmed to precisely 130 degrees at a specific velocity that dehydrates lice and their eggs.
Hair Maidens first operated as a mobile business. Recently, Hafer and Skolnick opened an office at 231 E. 400 South, Suite 355, which is across the street from the Salt Lake City Main Library. Appointments are available seven days a week.
The AirAllé medical device was developed by University of Utah researchers, led by evolutionary biologist Dale Clayton.
Clayton studies host and parasite interactions, primarily among birds and bird lice. When he moved his lab to the University of Utah from Oxford University 17 years ago, Clayton had difficulty keeping lice alive on birds.
"We discovered it has to do with the arid conditions, and if we would humidify rooms, we could keep cultures of lice alive on birds," he said.
The research team also discovered the inverse was true: Using dry air could kill lice. About the same time, Clayton's children got head lice, which opened his eyes to an application for the knowledge beyond keeping birds lice-free for lab experiments.
"This turns out to be a serendipitous, useful thing. If you want to kill lice, you can make it even drier than it is in Utah by blowing warm air across a kid's head," Clayton said.
But creating a medical device that can safely and effectively kill head lice and their eggs presented significant challenges. Fortunately, the university has an established track record of supporting research from labs to practical applications in the marketplace.
Clayton's lab was a Center of Excellence, meaning "the state of Utah spent about a half-million dollars on the research. That helped us figure out the delivery to achieve high kill rates," Clayton said.
While some lice and eggs can be killed using a handheld hair dryer, "you can't get anywhere near the effectiveness. Getting that last 20 percent is the hard part, as you can imagine," he said.
Beyond that, most people who get head lice are children, which means their heads could easily be burned by handheld hair dryers.
"It's the combination of temperature, air flow, delivery angles and duration, and yet not having it be uncomfortable. (It's) kind of the hard part to get the combination right," Clayton said.
More than a decade of biological and engineering research went into developing what was initially named LouseBuster. The device has Food and Drug Administration approval and is marketed through the spinoff company Larada Sciences Inc. under the product name AirAllé.
"Quite often, one treatment does the trick, and it doesn't take very long; and it's chemical-free so people like it," Clayton said.
Hair Maidens, the only Utah clinic certified to use the AirAllé device, also performs a comb-out of a patient's hair to remove dead nits and lice. Treatments start at $99. The device can be used on children ages 4 and older, but Hair Maidens offers other services to assist younger children who have lice.
"It's been really rewarding to do this. It's been fun to do this together and really fun to help families. It's been very satisfying for us," Hafer said.
Although there is a stigma attached to lice infestations, they are not dangerous, Hafer said.
"It's more annoying," she said.
Lice do not fly or jump. They thrive on the blood of human hosts and the vast majority of infestations result from head-to-head contact.
While many of Hair Maidens' clients are children, mothers often contract them from their children.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, head lice infestations are most common among preschoolers and elementary school-age children and members of their households.
"Now on average, one in four kids get head lice, so they're very common," Clayton said.
Getting head lice is not related to cleanliness of the person or his or her environment, the CDC's website states.
Hafer said she was utterly fascinated to see mummified lice in the "Mummies of the World" exhibit hosted by The Leonardo museum last winter.
In order to survive millions of years, lice have evolved to resist the array of chemical treatments developed over the years intended to eradicate them.
"They're a highly successful species," Hafer said.

Written By: NM State Athletic Dept.
SEATTLE, WA - The New Mexico State soccer team started the final road trip of the season on a strong note with an early goal but fell to Seattle, 2-1.
Sophomore forward Layla Todd scored her third goal of the season in the seventh minute for the Aggies (2-13-3, 0-6-1 WAC) but the Redhawks (8-7-2, 3-2-2) tied the game before halftime and won the game on a penalty kick in the final minutes of regulation.
The Aggie offense attacked early when freshman midfielder/forward Miranda Valdez found Todd to give NM State a 1-0 lead in the seventh minute of action. Todd now has a team-high three goals, and the assist was a career first for Valdez.
"Again, we played very well," head coach Blair Quinn said. "We had a great attitude to start the game. We really controlled the game for the first 25 minutes. We scored a great goal. Miranda Valdez, who has been our best player for the last two weeks, played a great through ball to Layla Todd, who scored another great goal."
Seattle evened the score at 1-1 with a goal in the 28th minute. The game was tied until the Redhawks converted a penalty kick in the 86th minute.
"We were up 1-0 and playing well and then we made a mistake and gave up a goal," Quinn said. "It was a good goal from Seattle's standpoint. We lost a runner and the girl scored on a one-timer."
"In the second half, they were pressing because they needed the points to insure they are in the conference tournament, and we got caught sitting a little too deep, a little too long. We came out of that and started playing again and taking the game back to them a little bit. A girl made a nice play to get into the box, she cut one of our midfielders, who was trying to get by one of the backs, and the girl that was behind her, wasn't trying to foul her but poke the ball but ended up getting her. It was a PK and they scored."
With the Aggies down 2-1, senior defender Courtney Irwin was given a yellow card in the 88th minute, which was her fifth of the season. As a result, the rules of college soccer state that Irwin has to miss the following match, and therefore, her streak of 76 consecutive starts will be snapped.
"She has started every game in program history and her last game she is not even going to get to play," Quinn said. "It's a tragedy. To be honest, the officiating was good except for that moment. I completely disagree that was yellow card."
The Aggies conclude the 2012 season at Idaho, Sunday, Oct. 28 at 2 p.m. in Moscow, Idaho.

Brendan McPhillips has bravely offered his "Thank You Fellow Bloggers Meme" as an example to others of how grateful we should be towards those who helped us get here.
Inspired by the loss of a some noted, altruistic celebrities, and the gushing thanks from the recent Oscars, McPhillips decided it was time he held his own awards ceremony to give thanks to those who help him blog better.
…I want to extend this sense of appreciation to the whole blogging community. I want to publicly thank all of the fellow bloggers that, although they don't know it, have helped me very much. I also think that this kind of public thanks is the best way we can show our fellow bloggers how much we appreciation each other (maybe "tipping�? is the best way and please do so if it's accepted and you have the means). So let's see if we can start a Thank You Fellow Bloggers Meme. Who has helped you start your blog? Who has taught you how to increase traffic to your blog? Who has shown you how to earn money from your blog? Who has best explained the key blog characteristics like comments, trackbacks, tags, categories and blogrolls? Who taught you about RSS and feed aggregators? In general, let's publicly thank our fellow bloggers, particularly those that don't already know us, who have helped us with our blogging.
I wanted to post this right away so you could consider your thank you list while I consider mine. I believe in giving credit where credit is due and this is a good reminder to continue to show appreciation for the amazing efforts so many have given to help us all blog better, wiser, and stronger.
And yes, I'm mentioned in the thank yous. I'm humbled at such recognition. Still, this is a wonderful thing to do.
Who are you thankful for helping you blog and helping you learn how all this web stuff works? Which bloggers inspire you and keep you on the blogging track? If you were to stand in front of an audience of millions today, honored for your blogging, who would you thank? And why?
Site Search Tags: thank, you, thanks, appreciation, honor, respect, blog, blogging, thank+you

Last weekend was one of the few weekends in several months that we were able to spend at home, with no obligations other than what we wanted to do. Jamie planned to work on his car as much as possible, and I planned to try a few recipes, edit some photos, and do some reading.
So on that Saturday, which also happened to be the first day of fall, I put on a pot of coffee, simmered some apple cider with cinnamon and nutmeg on the stove to sip on later, and baked up a batch of muffins for breakfast.
The idea of mixing orange marmalade right into muffin batter as a substitute for some of the sugar just came to me one day, and I immediately started formulating the recipe in my mind until I had a chance to write it down. I couldn't wait for the chance to try it out, and hoped my idea would taste as good as it sounded.
The orange marmalade muffins exceeded all my expectations - they were soft and slightly sweet, so moist, and with just a hint of orange. A little orange extract would further enhance the flavor, but I just added some cinnamon to complement the orange marmalade.
A crunchy brown sugar and oat streusel topping was a delicious contrast to the soft muffin, and was just perfect for the first day of fall.
Later that morning, I sipped hot, spiced cider and my mind wandered to all the other fall baking I hope to be able to do in the next few months - I just love a quiet day at home...
Orange Marmalade Muffins with Brown Sugar Streusel
printable recipe
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sweet orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup oats
- 3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray, or line with 12 paper liners.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the orange marmalade, applesauce, oil, brown sugar, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just until moistened. Spoon batter into the cups, filling them 3/4 full.
In a small bowl, use a pastry cutter to blend the topping ingredients until coarse and crumbly. Sprinkle topping over the batter and press down lightly with your fingers.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, with orange marmalade on the side.
Yields 12 muffins.

I don't often get the chance to visit blogger events due to my work, so I was happy when I was invited again to the Beauty Proefparade. An event that's filled with beauty brands presenting their (new) products! Check out my report:
Last year I attended the Proefparade for the first time and it was great succes , so I headed to Amsterdam with Anna of Fashionanna to see what the latest trends and brands were.
Marc Ibane tanningspray. Love the packaging, and can't wait to try this.
We received a spray, mitten and supersoft kabuki brush to apply fake tan to the face.
W7: A budget beauty brand. Many of their products look quite familiar… I think the packaging and colors are meant to aim at a young target audience.
Nak hair: an Australian brand.
This lovely lady explained and told me all about Nak hair.
She also advised me what products to use for my very damaged hair, and gave me a bag filled with items.
Divine Sensation: A refreshing spray similar to Mac's Fix+, but with natural ingredients.
Picture time!
Kneipp presented the beautiful shape line.
It was a great day, lovely to meet new people and brands and had a blast with Anna trying out some of the products!
All pictures of me were taken by Anna.
I'll be back to tell you more about the brands and products.

Carl Icahn May Buy More Herbalife But Can't Buy it All
Bill Ackman can almost let out a little sigh of relief. Carl Icahn won't be staging a buyout of Herbalife and completely taking out his short in one fell swoop.
Icahn has reached an agreement with the nutritional company, getting representation on the board. He also agreed to a standstill pact that will keep his ownership at 25% or below.
While giving Icahn representation on the board will help shore up confidence in the company, Icahn had earlier seemed to hint that he might try to discuss strategic alternatives with the company.

There is an ongoing thread titled "Best Greek NT Commentaries" http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/vie ... f=16&t=198. One of the resources for this topic is an 'Annotated Bibliography' by Dr. Jon Weatherly of Cincinnati Bible College. I have contacted him and he released his list to be augmented by anyone else who will fill out any gaps and bring it up to date. I think this could be a good resource to add to the B-Greek forum. Interested members can find a pdf copy of his annotated bibliography currently hosted at http://www.letsreadgreek.com/resources/ ... graphy.pdf. The latest publication in his list is from 2002.
Personal websites come and go, but B-Greek hopefully will be a resource that will pass from generation to generation, formerly an e-mail list and now a Php forum, and twenty years from now, who knows what kind of interface B-Greek will be using. But I would really like to see B-Greek host resources which future generations can modify and update. A list of NT commentaries, with comments on how valuable each is to the student of Greek would be a very valuable addition to our current resources for all our members and guests. And with now over 1000 members strong, a strong board of qualified administrators and moderators, and many participating teachers and specialists, we have a strong community of people who can add and augment such a list and give comments on each commentary.
I am suggesting that we take Jon Weatherly's list, and augment it and host it here on B-Greek. This is a project, because Weatherly's current list is out of date, the list has new additions monthly, and his summaries of each commentary need to be updated and qualified, each commentary given a fuller explanation of its strengths and weaknesses for the student of Greek. We have numerous members who are very interested in particular books, authors, theological traditions, and have the familiarity with any given commentary to tell other members what they appreciated and what they thought was lacking in any particular work. Perhaps 'Greek Commentaries' could be a new forum with one sub forum for each Book of the NT, and one topic for each commentary, with a sticky topic for each commentary's blurb, with comments below that blurb. (Unfortunately, our PHP forum does not allow nested threads like our old e-mail list allowed). Or we could host an HTML page in the same format that Weatherly's list is currently formatted. Since our list is not a conservative, evangelical site, but an independent unaffiliated site which has members that have no required religious affiliation, I suggest that some of Jon's remarks be changed to identify the theological orientation of all commentaries. But his list is a great start. I'd really like to see B-Greek, an entity which is now 20+ years old, add some solid, weathered, well-vetted resources to its resources.
Is this a project that anyone would be willing to help with or think a valuable addition? How could we go forward with this type of project? We would need several qualified people from differing traditions and theological orientations to agree to the 'blurb' for each commentary. Any comments or suggestions? (I know there is a book out there which talks about the various NT commentaries, grammars, theological studies, etc. - I cannot think of the name at the time, perhaps someone can chime in. Perhaps the B-Greek website could produce an online version of that work, but focus only on the Greek-orientated NT commentaries).

Thanks to an agreement with Nuance Communications, Palm will be delivering voice command capabilities to Palm OS supported smartphones like the Centro and the Treo. More specifically, Palm will be utilizing Nuance's VSuite apps to handle functions like name dialing, digit dialing, message addressing for text, picture, and video messages as well as application launching.
There will also be an optional Voice Control feature that will allow users to browse the web, create calendar entries and send emails/text messages using voice commands. Just don't let all of this hands-free freedom go to your head. It still doesn't give you carte blanche to multi-task while driving down the highway. [InformationWeek]

One week after seeing its lengthy winning streak come to an end, Fox was back on top of the primetime demo heap thanks its nonscripted hits.
NBC, meanwhile, was boosted by the return of "America's Got Talent," edging out ABC for second place in adults 18-49 even though the Alphabet benefited from Game 6 of the NBA Finals. The Tuesday hoops action stood as easily the week's top-rated program.
Overall for the June 16-22 frame, according to Nielsen estimates that incorporate live viewing plus same-night DVR playback, Fox's 2.3 rating/7 share put it comfortably ahead of NBC (1.9/6) and ABC (1.8/6). Univision moved up to fourth (1.6/5), followed by CBS (1.5/5), USA (1.0/3) and TNT (0.8/2).
Fox also won in adults 25-54 (2.4/7) and persons 12-34 (2.0/7), while NBC prevailed in total viewers — edging out CBS (6.48 million to 6.39 million) for the net's first victory in this category since the first week in January, when it aired an NFL opening-round playoff game.
For Fox, "Hell's Kitchen" set the pace (4.0/11 in 18-49, 8.25 million viewers overall), standing as the week's No. 1 entertainment program despite facing the concluding game of the NBA Finals. It won its hour in all key female demos.
"So You Think You Can Dance" also continues to win its timeslots on Wednesday (3.3/10 in 18-49, 8.85m) and Thursday (3.1/9, 8.87m), and the net dominated Saturday with "America's Most Wanted" (1.8/7, 5.13m) and "Cops" (1.8/7, 4.73m for its 8:30 p.m. repeat).
Coverage of Game 6 of the NBA Finals, in which the Boston Celtics closed out the Los Angeles Lakers, was a big ratings winner for second-place ABC (6.9/20 in 18-49, 16.88m). The Finals as a whole finished up significantly from the previous year and with the best averages since 2004.
Elsewhere for the net, "The Bachelorette" cracked the top 10 (2.5/7 in 18-49, 7.05m), but the Daytime Emmys telecast fell to all-time lows Friday (1.2/4 in 18-49, 5.38m).
At NBC, the return of "America's Got Talent" (3.7/10, 12.78m) performed well despite facing much tougher competish than a year ago, logging the best numbers for a preem this summer.
And although the net didn't have great numbers anywhere on its sked, it drew the best demos for an entertainment program in the 10 o'clock hour on five nights, including Wednesday with "Celebrity Circus" (2.0/6 in 18-49, 5.71m).
Also pitching in was the start of the U.S. Olympic Trials, with Sunday's women's gymnastics portion winning its time period (2.0/7 in 18-49, 6.30m).
Univision had a strong week, joining ABC and Fox as broadcasters improving upon their performance vs. a year ago. Highlights included Sunday's three-hour finale of "Yo Amo A Juan Querendon" (I Love Irresistible Juan), which averaged a 1.7/5 in 18-49 and 3.7 million viewers.
Top shows for CBS were Monday comedy repeats "Two and a Half Men" (3.7/8 in 18-49, 8.95m) and "Rules of Engagement" (2.3/6, 6.66m).
Summer newbies "Swingtown" (2.1/6, 6.01m) and "Million Dollar Password" (1.5/5, 8.20m) both posted their lowest scores to date, though the former did win its Thursday hour. As for "Password," it fell to fourth place for its hour in adults 18-49 even though it again led its slot in total viewers.
Of note in the usually tight evening news race was a decisive victory for NBC's "Nightly News" (2.1/9 in 25-54, 7.99m) over ABC's "World News" (1.8/8, 7.04m) in the first week following the death of the Peacock's news staple Tim Russert.
One of the top cable stories of the week was Disney Channel's "Camp Rock," which averaged a big 8.86 million viewers on Friday to outdraw the original "High School Musical" (Daily Variety, June 23). It earned a whopping 49 share in female teens.
More than 21 million Americans watched some of "Camp Rock" during Disney's multiplatform launch over the weekend. Pic broke traffic records on Disney.com and averaged 3.47 million Saturday in its broadcast airing on ABC and 3.73 million Sunday on ABC Family.
Elsewhere in cable, USA had a strong week behind two hours of "WWE Raw" on Monday (2.0/6 in 18-49, 5.21m from 9-11:10 p.m.) and the Sunday drama duo of "Law & Order: CI" (1.6/4, 4.69m) and "In Plain Sight" (1.4/4, 4.67m).
Both "Plain Sight" and Lifetime's "Army Wives" (1.5/4, 3.75m) continue to perform well in the 10 o'clock hour, though "Army," which doesn't benefit from a strong lead-in, was down vs. its first two weeks.
Other top cable draws in 18-49 included Discovery's "Deadliest Catch" (1.4/4, 2.91m) and History Channel's "Ice Road Truckers" (1.4/4, 3.06m).
