DURHAM — It had to be a difficult week for the UNH defense after giving up record-breaking numbers in last week's loss at Old Dominion.
The Wildcats couldn't wait to get back on the field and atone for that performance.
They blanked Delaware for most of the second half Saturday, giving up only a meaningless touchdown late while enabling the offense to do its thing in a 34-14 come-from-behind win.
"Great defensive effort throughout the game," said coach Sean McDonnell. "Very, very proud of the kids and the staff. (They) bounced back after a tough, tough game last week."
The Wildcats came up with six sacks and two interceptions overall, despite playing the game without two starters and losing another early in the second quarter.
UNH held the Blue Hens to 30 total yards on 20 offensive plays over the first 26 minutes of the second half as the Wildcats rallied from a 7-0 halftime deficit.
"It goes back to the resiliency of some of the kids in this program that were embarrassed by last week's game and wanted to come back and show we can play a little bit up here," McDonnell said.
"Everybody was hungry," said safety Manny Asam. "We just flew around. We had to do our jobs. Everybody played hard and everybody played disciplined, and that helped us be successful today."
Delaware gained 234 yards overall, including 94 rushing, the majority coming from Andrew Pierce, who ran for 82 yards on 18 attempts.
"I thought we did a real good job of containing the run," McDonnell said. "Against a kid like Pierce that's a really good job."
While the Wildcats were scoring on their first six possessions of the second half, the defense was making stops. It held the Blue Hens to three first downs and two three-and-outs on their first four drives.
Two others ended with interceptions by converted running back Dontra Peters, who was also credited with half a sack in the game.
"The defense made it easy for us to relax," said quarterback Andy Vailas. "They were making stops and we didn't put a point on the board in the first half. We just realized we had to do our jobs like the defense was doing theirs."
Peters' picks came on back-to-back possessions as the Blue Hens tried to answer UNH scores.
The first interception set up a 28-yard field goal by Mike MacArthur and the second led to a 60-yard touchdown run by Jimmy Owens two plays later.
"Created some turnovers in the second half," McDonnell said. "Dontra's two interceptions were huge. He cat-and-moused the kid twice and got picks on the play."
The Wildcats also pressured Delaware quarterback Trent Hurley. A week after managing just one sack in 79 passing attempts, they sacked Hurley six times.
Robbie Zauck had two sacks, Asam had one and a half and Matt Kaplan had one. Asam led the team in tackles with 11, including eight solo.
"We stepped it up from last week," Asam said. "We knew we had to fly around and that's what we did today."
They did it all without tackle Jared Smith (knee) and free safety Chris Beranger (concussion) and with a limited contribution from linebacker Alan Buzbee, who was injured early in the second quarter on a running play and did not return.
Buzbee was replaced by sophomore Shane McNeely, who finished with seven tackles and half a sack.
"Just very, very pleased with the way those guys responded," McDonnell said. "Some young kids came through for us and did a good job."

Among RJ Harris's seven receptions was a circus catch that went for 36 yards and a first down at the UD 20. It set up a 23-yard field goal by Mike MacArthur that made it 24-7 with 8:16 left.
Harris actually caught the ball while lying on his back after being interfered with by a Delaware defender.
"I saw the ball bounce off his helmet," Harris said. "I was on my back and the ball was in the air, so why not try and catch it."
Harris finished with seven catches for 129 yards and two TDs from Vailas. It was Harris's third 100-yard receiving game this season and seventh of his career.
"We felt that we had some good matchups with RJ in the slot," McDonnell said. "Andy settled down a little bit in the second half, put the ball on some people and made some nice plays."
n n n
Vailas credited Justin Mello with jumpstarting the offense in the second half when he caught a pass that was thrown behind him on the Wildcats' first play from scrimmage, broke a tackle and ran for a first down.
The play led to the tying touchdown.
"That really got us rolling," Vailas said. "The offensive line did a phenomenal job allowing me to make my reads and get the ball to the right people."
n n n
Offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Ryan Carty was back calling plays after missing the three previous games because of a medical issue.
Carty is a former quarterback at Delaware.
"He did a great job," McDonnell said. "Made some great adjustments. It's good to have him back."
Wildcats' defense rebounds from rough outing
DURHAM — It had to be a difficult week for the UNH defense after giving up record-breaking numbers in last week's loss at Old Dominion.

Beyond spell check there are other benefits to technology. We can do research from the comfort of our own homes - of course, as Shane so perfectly pointed out earlier, that doesn't always work out as planned. We can also order Pizza from our cell phones while having writers block and acoiding doing research - we don't even have to get up and grab the land line anymore. Come to think of it why do I stil have a landline anyway??? And of couse we can e-mail, facebook, tweet, check the stock market, watch a game or a TV show we missed. We can even video conference and skype with fans - not sure they want to see us eating Cherios at nine in the morning but you get the general idea.
And who really wants...
Wait a minute - telling stories - oh yeah, that's actually our job.
Alright, I change my mind.
So I say chuck it all - except for that spell check thing, we going to have to make an exception somewhere. By the way - why can't it spell Cerrioos correctly :/ I'm going off to find a dictionary. If I still have one, it's probably over near the land line somewhere.

Flames come under fire, finish sixth, eighth in muddy event
February 9, 2013 | Canton, Ga.
Liberty University's paintball team returned from its first competition of the spring semester muddied but unbowed, Saturday at the KSU Dirty South Open, the third MSCC Class AA event hosted by Kennesaw State University in Canton, Ga.
Both of the Flames' two five-man teams faced off against Central Florida, Georgia State, Georgia Tech, and N.C. State in pool play. Liberty's Red team, led by junior Noah Burns' standout performance, placed sixth out of 10 teams with a 2-2 record while the Blue team, anchored by Bobby Majuk's consistency under fire, finished eighth despite going 0-4.
"These teams were really good teams, some of the better teams in the country, especially Georgia State, Georgia Tech, and Kennesaw State, which we did not meet," Liberty head coach Todd Hoglund said, noting the Flames split two matches with the Owls in their Nov. 4 season opener in Lynchburg. "This gives us a really good look at what we're going to have at our home event on March 30 (and) some of the teams that will be competitive at nationals."
Liberty has placed fourth, fourth, and third, respectively, at the past three Class A national championships.
"That's usually where we perform really well," Hoglund said. "Today, for Class AA, it was a different format and these were some of the best teams we've faced in a while, which is why we didn't do as well, that and the playing conditions."
All paintball tournaments are played on fields of regulation size, but this particular grass field was wet and worn, exposing some of the Georgia clay beneath the surface.
"The field was very muddy," Hoglund said. "Some fields are turf, some are grass. Today, we played on a lot of mud. We're so used to playing on the turf of our home field that going from turf to mud was very different."
He said that made the eight-hour trip worth the time and cost involved.
"It was really good to get outside and away from the home field advantage we have," Hoglund said. "It was good, almost like a wakeup call for some of our players, and good tournament experience for the newer players, who haven't really had any yet. It gives them direction as to what we need to focus on in practice."
He said communication is a key facet the Flames need to work on, along with laning, which involves taking away opponents lanes of attack by firing through them, and also recovering from being down.
"If you get shot once, you're eliminated," Hoglund said. "We started games, pretty early in the game, shorthanded. If we lose a body … being on the wrong side of a power play, we've got to work on coming back, not panicking at that time."
Though the Flames were at full strength, they lost 12 out of 15 players from last year's team to graduation, or other sports, and are in full rebuilding mode. Hoglund hopes traveling to an event like Saturday's will open his players' minds to ways they can improve their games.
"To play against somebody else, they give you another look," he said. "We saw some things we weren't expecting. At times, things didn't go according to our game plan, so we had to adapt.
"You definitely go into a game with a strategy, realizing that strategy will need a shift," he added. "You might have a play in mind and they have something that totally counteracts that play. How quickly in the game you can adjust," and formulate a new game plan determines a team's rate of success.
The Flames have seven weeks to fine-tune their game plans and execute their strategies in preparation for hosting MSCC Class AA event No. 4 on March 30.

Identical glasses are placed in a triangular tower structure, such that the top level (L = 1) comprises one glass, the next level down (L = 2) comprises three glasses, the next level down (L = 3) comprises six glasses, and so on.
Follow the link to see a diagram shows the first three levels. The glasses in each levels are represented by the blue circles, while the yellow circles represent the positions of the glasses in the next higher level.
Water is poured into the top glass at a constant volumetric flow rate. When the glass is filled, the water starts spilling over and into the glasses below. Note that water only spills outward , meaning that at some point, some glasses will remain empty.
Given the volume of a glass in liters, v, the volumetric flow rate in liters per second, u, and an integer, L, representing a level in the glass structure, return the total number of glasses in that level, g, the number of glasses in that level that will be filled with water, f, and the time, in seconds, it would take to fill all "fillable" glasses in that level, t, starting with no water in any of the levels.
Input: v = 0.25, u = 0.1, L = 2
Output: g = 3, f = 3, t = 10
could someone explain the different between g and f in this problem? don't all the glasses get filled in the bottom level?
Chris, the problem states (in bold font) that "water only spills outward" and therefore not all glasses are necessarily filled.

text: I transferred to Georgetown last year and I live in an apartment building called Senate Square, which is right behind Union Station. It is within walking distance to the law school and is basically brand new. It's a bit pricey, but it does allow pets. I believe you can get a 1br for somewhere in the $1700/month range right now (with specials, etc.). The rent is about the same as Mass Court, but it's quite a bit nicer. My wife and I looked at Mass Court and weren't impressed at all.

For those of you who are interested in car-free parenting stories, I highly, highly recommend Car Free with Kids, a blog written by Angela and Dorea Vierling-Claassen, two mathematicians and bike/bus/T chicks who are raising a child (soon to be two!) without a car. In a recent post about surviving car-free babyhood, they almost perfectly described my feelings on the subject.
So if it really is this hard, why do it? Why do the work of navigating pregnancy, babyhood and toddlerhood (perhaps several times) without a car? What, exactly, is the payoff? The payoff is a life in which your entire family is firmly integrated in your local neighborhood and your child isn't made to sit still, strapped in, as you drive endless mindless miles from one thing to the next. The neighbors you meet as you are out walking or regularly frequenting the local park (because it is so close, and you can't really drive to the nicer one a little farther away), become the friends that you call when your whole family is throwing up, but you are out of pedialyte and soda crackers. And if you are already a person who loves the freedom and independence of biking and minimal dependence on a car, isn't that something you want to share with your kid(s)? Life changes when kids come into the picture, but you don't have to leave what matters to you behind. Better to keep the things you love and are proud of, and include your children, even if it's a little inconvenient at first.
I couldn't have said it better–except that I don't think it's that hard. Well, maybe sometimes. There are days when I come home and complain to Bus Nerd about particular struggles, which generally involve errands with Chicklet or attempts to visit far-flung friends.* I tend to start my rants by saying something like, "I don't regret our choice to live this way and don't want to change it, but … daaaaaaaaaaang!" Nerd usually gives me his "What's the big deal?" look (sometimes he even says, "So what's the big deal?"), and I eventually get over it.
From now on, I'll just check in with Angela and Dorea when I need some encouragement.
* An example: My friend Sundee, a fellow biracial, left-handed, writer, mom, and Good Shepherd member, lives in unincorporated King County, also known as Land of No Buses–or sidewalks, for that matter. I have to rent a Zipcar (which involves reserving the one car that's within walking distance–assuming it's available–and then schlepping Chicklet and her car seat the three plus blocks to pick it up) every time I want to visit her, so it doesn't happen very often. I'm all for sticking with what's in your neighborhood, but–unlike dry cleaners and video stores–friends aren't interchangeable.

It's finally here – the AM Audio Media interview with Rikki Wright and Andrew Chalmers!
If you're not familiar with the fine folks behind the Doctor Who Dark Journey radio drama, check out the embedded #TWTT video or podcast below. You can also visit the official AM Audio Media web site, home to delicious Doctor Who fandoms. Skip ahead for breaking news from our friends at AMAM and the interview double-header. It's FANTASTIC!
As some of you know, I had a recent hard drive crash right after one of my computers started to act up. We've been recovering from the losses but fortunately we had backups an the support of fine folks like Mike T. He's even sending us some new Doctor Who sound bits to use on our soundboard and post-productions. The one and only MA Tamburro also added some breaking Whovian news that is somewhat exclusive so – YAY!
BTW We're planning a launch of Series 2 of Dark Journey at the end of the month if you'd like to mention that to your listeners. We'd love to be on the show at some point in June and intro a full new episode.
So it turns out we are posting these interviews right on time, after all (PHEW). Stand by… AM Audio Media nterviews warping in!
I've always been a fan of third person games, from the Doom and Duke Nukem era through Goldeneye through to current incarnation of the Grand Theft Auto series. I like driving games too so when you combine them into something like Driver or Getaway, that's what really cranks my chain… or floats my boat or… erm… let's just say I'm particularly fond of them. ~Rikki Wright a.k.a. "Just Fred"
Three Pantomimes & Interchangeable Pertwee Head Scarecrows
Rikki Wright: For fun, I run marathon's to raise money for various charities, I am an activist for certain group that promotes freedom of speech but who shall remain "anonymous", and I actively get involved in the rescue of puppies from illegal dog fighting rings. Really? No, not really. I rarely leave the comfort of my Lazy-Boy recliner where I spend most days as close to horizontal as possible while watching reruns of 1980's game shows, eating cheesies and scratching myself with a medium sized stick (interestingly I found that a large stick whilst providing greater coverage was too heavy and hence required a greater consumption of cheesies to generate the energy to use properly). Really? Also no, not really. The reality is almost less interesting than both of those extremes. As a father of 2, I spend most of my "spare" time running kids from swimming lessons to hockey practice and birthday parties. I am on the board and coach at my local rugby club and in those rarest of moments when I do find time for myself, I pretend to be an actor both on stage, on camera and in the case of Doctor Who Dark Journey, behind a microphone. Occasionally I turn my pen towards paper and have written (and produced) three pantomimes.
As a child growing up in the 80's in England, Doctor Who was quite popular and so when I think of Doctor Who (the classic era) it reminds me of my childhood. More recently however, with the latest regenerations of the Doctor, it reminds me that my wife often goes to bed much earlier than me and thus I get free reign to watch whatever I want on TV! Mixed emotions then.
I became involved in Dark Journey after answering a casting call I came across online. I auditioned over the phone reading from a play I performed in when I was about 15 years old… so just a few years ago.
Andrew and I share a very similar sense of humour (or as he would pronounce it "youmer") – recording with the cast was always a challenge as Andrew and I would crack jokes (often with double entendres providing the punchlines). The challenge was always continuing recording after a good giggle and trying to keep a straight face. I'd regularly have to close my eyes or turn away from Andrew to avoid making eye contact and cracking up again. Unprofessional… maybe! I will not miss the small and overly warm recording studio that somehow managed to create the most unusual smells with no apparent source material.
I have a romanticised idea of liking the third doctor Jon Pertwee because of another TV character he played on Worzel Gummidge (a scarecrow with interchangeable heads!) I really should go back and watch some of the episodes from that era, particularly as he is often compared to the current Doctor Peter Capaldi whom I have a difficult time warming to. If I were to pick a favourite Doctor (who I can actually remember clearly), without a doubt it would be Tennant. In terms of least favourite Doctor, I will probably be lambasted for this but I didn't like Matt Smith, too quirky and full of self importance… although that could describe most Doctors.

Clamoring for news on Apple's rumored Siri-powered HDTV? A new report suggests that Apple will show off yet another redesigned UI for its Apple TV set-top box at next month's WWDC that'll also drive the real HDTV that the company is building.
Up until now, we've really heard virtually nothing substantial on Apple's HDTV/iTV. Here's what BGR's moles hear:
We've heard Apple is actively trying to court manufacturers to use a new "control out" API in order for third-party manufacturers to make accessories that are compatible with the new Apple TV OS and the upcoming "iTV." It's said that by using the API, it will be possible to control any connected components all from the Apple remote (and the Apple remote iOS app as well, we're assuming).
This would be a huge change in the home theater landscape, which has until this point relied on a mess of thousands of infrared codes and physical cables in order for devices to be interoperable, or Wi-Fi-controlled apps for each component and piece of hardware.
The control out API is said to work with all aspects of various popular components, even allowing control over things like program guides on a cable operators' set top boxes and
other hardware components.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
From BGR's description, it would appear Apple's figured a way to drastically simplify and unify the living room's pile of gadgets. As MacRumors points out, BGR's track record for nailing leaks has been murky as of late.
It also seems rather soon for another Apple TV UI update, considering the last one came only two months ago alongside the new Apple TV set-top box. Then again, former Apple TV engineer Michael Margolis did say that the current Apple TV UI was an idea Steve Jobs tossed out five years ago.
More revealing info comes from Apple CEO Tim Cook himself. In yesterday's AllThingsD interview with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, Cook revealed a few things about the current Apple TV set-top box experience:
"We're not a hobby kind of company, as you know It's not a fifth leg of the stool. It's not of the same market size as the phone business or the Mac business or the music business or the tablet business. This is an area of intense interest for us. We are going to keep pulling the string and see where this takes us."
Clearly, Cook is reversing Steve Jobs' belief that the Apple TV was a "hobby." On the matter of an actual Apple HDTV, Cook said:
"I'm not going to tell you. We would look not just at this area, but other areas, and ask, can we control the key technology? Can we make a significant contribution far beyond what others have done in this area? Can we make a product that we all want? ... Those are all the things we would ask about any new product category."
Sounds like Apple knows what it wants and won't deliver until it knows it has the right product.

If you'd like to check out director Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, you're in luck (if you live in the Austin, TX area)! The Alamo Drafthouse Ritz will be screening the film in 70mm this coming Monday, September 10th at 7:30 PM. As a way to announce this event, a new, NSFW clip has been released that features Joaquin Phoenix as Freddie Quell taking a Navy psychological examination. While we never get to see the inkblots in question, it's clear that Quell only has one thing on his mind. Hit the jump to see what that is.
The Master, also starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams opens in limited release September 14th, with expansion on September 21st.
The new clip from The Master follows below along with ticket information for the advanced screening. Again, it's NSFW mostly due to ridiculously inappropriate language:
Be sure to get caught up on all our previous and continuing coverage of The Master here. If you're interested in tickets for the screening this Monday, September 10th at 7:30pm, just to inform you, all proceeds will be donated to The Film Foundation. Tickets are here, and remember the $25 ticket price is for the benefit of the foundation.
Here's the synopsis for The Master:
A striking portrait of drifters and seekers in post World War II America, Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master unfolds the journey of a Naval veteran (Joaquin Phoenix) who arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future — until he is tantalized by The Cause and its charismatic leader (Philip SeymourHoffman).

Highest Marks
Fund: Matrix Partners
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-01-05
I've gotten to know Nick Beim well from pitching him on several occasions and from working in a company in which he and Matrix invested. Having worked closely with several other VC board members in 4 different companies and having pitched many more, I would give Nick the highest marks in terms of integrity, thoughtfulness, fairness to the entrepreneur, energy/enthusiasm, and being an all-around good guy. He works as hard as any VC that I know and proactively adds value through strategic probing, thoughtful analysis, idea brainstorming, and relevant introductions.
The only area where he doesn't get a top grade from me is in his level of experience, as he is younger than the average VC and has invested in fewer companies. His other positives significantly outweigh his youth, however, and I would strongly recommend him as an investor / board member / advisor, particularly for internet-related ventures.PRIVATE: Members Only

[YOUR NAME HERE] thought you might be interested in this story from the University of Rochester.
MEDIA CONTACT: Sara Miller email@example.com
585.275.4128; 585.281.9495 (cell)
March 5, 2013
Robert Clark has been named senior vice president for research at the University of Rochester, and has been appointed to a second, five-year term as dean of the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. University President Joel Seligman made this announcement at a special March 5 event in Munnerlyn Atrium, Goergen Hall for Biomedical and Engineering. Both five-year appointments have been approved by the Board of Trustees and are effective April 1.
Clark was selected as senior vice president for researcha position he has most recently served in an interim rolefollowing a national search.
"Rob's service as dean and interim senior vice president for research has been exemplary, and I am delighted to appoint him to both roles," said Seligman. "He is an academic leader of extraordinary energy and focus, with the ability to listen and work well with a variety of constituencies. I was deeply impressed by the overwhelming support he received to be reappointed as Hajim School dean, and the strong endorsement of his abilities to dually manage the trajectory of our interdisciplinary research excellence. Few other academic leaders could wear both hats."
"I know I speak for the entire board in expressing my enthusiasm that Rob will serve the University in these two critical roles," said Ed Hajim, chairman of the University's Board of Trustees and a 1958 engineering graduate of the University. "Rob is a thoughtful strategist and proven leader with the impressive credentials that make him supremely qualified for these positions at the University. And as a member of the business community, I see Rob as a great ambassador to this very important area of our economy."
In summer 2012, the University Board of Trustees approved a restructuring of the Provost's position recommended by President Seligman and announced the new senior vice president for research position, charged with shaping the initiatives and infrastructure of the University's rapidly growing research enterprise. The position manages the University's online academic initiatives, the research component of information technology, and oversees the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, the Sponsored University Research Group, Office of Research Projects Administration, Center for Entrepreneurship, Office of Research Alliances, Office of Human Subjects Protection/Research Subjects Review Board, the Office of Technology Transfer, and the University's Health Sciences Center for Computational Innovation (HSCCI).
Clark was named as the first interim senior vice president for research in June, and has since orchestrated a comprehensive review of information technology, supervised efforts to pilot online programs, and helped secure $5 million of support for the HSCCI through the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council.
The national search for the senior vice president for research began in October and involved a significant number of external and internal candidates. Clark was selected from among four finalists that were interviewed by a search committee, as well as 25 University senior and academic leaders and Board of Trustee Advisory Committee members.
As Hajim School dean since 2008, Clark has grown and strengthened the faculty, introduced cross-disciplinary master's programsincluding the MS in technical entrepreneurship management in collaboration with the Simon School of Businessand significantly increased the undergraduate enrollment in engineering.

The Kentucky Heritage Council is holding a pretty neat contest to celebrate National Historic Preservation Month.
In addition to the annual running of the Kentucky Derby, May is National Historic Preservation Month, and the goal is to highlight the many different kinds of historic places that Kentuckians feel at "home."
"Historic places matter to Kentuckians. We want to invite people to share how and why they value Kentucky's historic places, and build interest in the reuse and preservation of historic buildings," said Craig Potts, KHC executive director and state historic preservation officer. "We want people to be able to tell their own story about how historic buildings and places make them feel."
To enter, participants download the contest sign, found at http://www.heritage.ky.gov, or make their own; hold it in front of their favorite "Old Kentucky Home"; get a snapshot; then "like" the Heritage Council's Facebook page at facebook/kyshpo and submit it to win – the only rule being, the site must be 50 years old or older. Participants will be asked to tell where the photo was taken, and why the place photographed is special.
Participants may submit one photo per Facebook account, but can vote once a day for their favorite photos. Posters are encouraged to share all their photos on social media using the hashtag #myoldkyhome and tweet their photos to @kyshpo.
The contest period began at noon (EDT) today and continues through midnight (EDT) Friday, May 23. The top five photos with the most "likes" will go into a random drawing to determine the winner, who will be announced during the last week of May. The grand-prize winner will receive an all-expense paid weekend in Bardstown, courtesy of the Bardstown-Nelson County Tourist & Convention Commission.
The prize package includes overnight accommodations at one of Bardstown's historic bed and breakfast inns, a gift card for downtown dining or shopping, and admission for two adults to My Old Kentucky Home State Park/Federal Hill; The Stephen Foster Story (June 14-August 16, 2014); Civil War Museum of the Western Theater; a private tour of Wickland, the home of three governors, or a visit with the Spirits of Wickland; Heaven Hill Distilleries Bourbon Heritage Center; Barton 1792 Distillery; and Willett Distillery.
Federal Hill is a beautiful site, and if you haven't been, this would be a good chance to win a free visit.
The historic place in Kentucky where I feel most at home is Cumberland Gap. (Well, it's in three different states, but Kentucky is one of them.) I'm also partial to Lincoln's birthplace, Fort Boonesborough, the Old Statehouse Historic District in Frankfort, the Midway Historic District, and Boone's gravesite.

This is too cute! Happy WW!!!ReplyDelete
i don't have any issues on potty training my kids. i started training them since they were six months old. I usually placed their favorite toys around the potty to help make potty training fun and easy.ReplyDelete
The joys of parenting!
Happy WW.
I thank my lucky stars nearly every day that the "joys" of potty training are over for me!ReplyDelete
You're doing the right thing. Kids pick it up at their own pace. LOVE this pic, lolReplyDelete
I'd do what you're doing. The potty sure brings out her creative side!ReplyDelete
Yes teaching them early...Now we all ready, write and draw in the Wash Closet.ReplyDelete
I know that I was a lot less stressed about potty training than some of my friends, and some where down right horrified that she was 3 1/2 before everything completely stuck; but in the end you can't look at the kids and tell who trained when.
Calico Contemplations
Yikes, looks messy. Thanks for the great blog read and for the comments over on my post! Come check out the book sometime, tell your friends!
Looks like she had too much to do while she was on there. lol The last daycare kiddo that I helped potty train was not getting it then his doctor said completely forget it for 30 days then jump at it again full force, no diapers at all. Wham, he was potty trained in two weeks:) Good luck!!
My WW http://lovemy2dogs.blogspot.com/2009/10/wordless-wednesday-grrr.html
I decided with both my kids not to stress out about it and just wait and they both were potty trained with very little trouble -- just not as early as some people might have liked :-) I was sure my son was never going to potty train but he did before he was four so that was better then I expected -- LOL.
Cute photo!
try the real toilet - it may work better - I never had good luck with the tiny potty seats - but great luck with the real dealReplyDelete
How sweet! I think you're right--she will go on the potty when she wants to! (Usually happens before 25:)Take care!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, that photo is hilarious!ReplyDelete
Good that you decided to take some stress off both of you and wait. Sometimes it's more hassle than it's worth!
Oh no! I'm dreading potty training, and I know it's sneaking up on me.
I hope she does better the next time around. Maybe get her some sort stickers for her potty so she can decorate it and entice her to use it.
LOL!!! She'll get it soon.. I know she will!ReplyDelete
That's exactly what I did and I am so glad I did! When I started again I was less stressed and she was more ready, so she trained in 1 week! Totally worth waiting. Good luck!ReplyDelete
Haha, this is so cute! Don't worry, she'll get it soon. :)
Thanks for visiting my WW.
Thank you for visiting. I love your comments and will visit you also if you have a hyperlink. #ThisIsTheDay

BacMam 2.0 Technology and Other Imaging Tools for Live-Cell Studies
The study of neurons is vitally important in understanding how the brain develops and functions. The ultimate goal of many neuroscientists extends well beyond the analysis of normal brain functioning to the dissection of the cellular changes underlying the myriad of devastating neurodegenerative disorders. As highly specialized postmitotic cells, neurons sense the environment and then either store or rapidly convey this information through electrical and chemical signals that propagate along physical pathways in the brain and peripheral body, ultimately controlling behavior. Investigating these complex and dynamic processes in living neurons requires tools that can target specific neural cell functions without disrupting normal cell activities.
Imaging Applications For Neuroscience
By examining events up close with a microscope, scientists can capture imagery that reveals molecular interactions, protein expression patterns, and the interplay of signaling pathways. These images can provide important information about structure and function that span perspectives from the molecular dimensions to the subcellular and macroscopic levels. Moreover, live-cell imaging has transitioned from requiring years of experience and ultra-specialized equipment into a technology that requires minimal training to obtain dramatic and informative data. With the increasing availability of a variety of spectrally distinguishable labels for imaging-based assays, microscopic analysis of neurons and neural networks is now more accessible than ever before.
For several decades Molecular Probes® reagents have been used with fluorescence microscopy to examine neural cell components and signaling mechanisms, as well as the anatomy of neural networks and functions of the brain and nervous system. For example, Molecular Probes® calcium indicators are commonly used to monitor calcium fluxes and record neural activity [1] (Figure 1), the FM® dyes serve as reliable membrane markers for following synaptic communication [2], and fluorescent neural tracers and labeled cholera toxins have been used to dissect the anatomy of neural populations [3]. Here we describe the latest addition to our probes for neurobiology research: BacMam 2.0 gene delivery and expression technology for the transduction of primary neurons and transient expression of exogenous genes.
Figure 1. Differentiated NG108-15 neural cells loaded with fluo-4 AM. NG108-15 cells, a hybrid of mouse neuroblastoma and rat glioma cells, are often used to model primary cells from the central nervous system. Like many stem cell–derived neural cells, NG108-15 cells are cultured in a propagation mode and then switched to a differentiation medium that arrests cell division and promotes the elaboration of axons and the expression of a variety of neural-specific genes, including voltage-gated ion channels and synaptic specializations. Shown here are differentiated NG108-15 cells grown in culture and loaded with the calcium indicator dye fluo-4 acetoxymethyl (AM) ester . The image was generated as an overlay of phase-contrast and green fluorescence images collected using the Till Photonics Polychrome V excitation source.
BacMam 2.0 Technology Enables Live-Cell Imaging in Neurons
Like many terminally differentiated, postmitotic cell types, neurons are not only difficult to culture but also resistant to the delivery and expression of recombinant genes. These challenges have greatly hampered basic research and drug discovery efforts that rely on functional measurements in living cells.
BacMam gene delivery and expression technology alleviates one of the main technological hurdles for live-cell imaging; it provides a system to deliver and transiently express targeted fluorescent proteins and biosensors in mammalian cells without perturbing normal cell function. The BacMam system relies on a baculovirus strain with envelope-protein modifications that allow the virus to infect mammalian cells (so-called pseudotyped virus particles). The genetic cargo of the virus has likewise been engineered to deliver genes encoding fluorescent protein fusions under the control of mammalian expression signals. Mammalian cells ignore the polyhedron insect cell promoters in the baculoviral DNA, expressing only the mammalian promoter–driven transgenes in the engineered cassette. The BacMam gene delivery and expression system has several important features:
- Lack of cytotoxicity—even at very high ratios of virus particles to cells
- Ease of use—simply incubate cells with the virus particles in normal culture medium
- Safety—P1 safety level: the virus cannot replicate in mammalian cells
- Straightforward modulation of gene expression—higher virus/cell ratios yield higher expression levels
The new BacMam 2.0 technology employs a VSVG-pseudotyped capsid protein for more efficient cell entry, a strong mammalian promoter, and a posttranscriptional regulatory element to boost expression levels. With these modifications, the BacMam 2.0 reagents can now be used to introduce and express fluorescent proteins and biosensors in cell types that could not be transduced with the original BacMam system, including primary neurons (Figure 2), stem cells (Figure 3), and cardiomyocytes.
Figure 2. Live-cell imaging with BacMam CellLight® reagents or Premo™ Autophagy Sensor LC3B-GFP. Cultured primary hippocampal neurons are labeled with either (left) CellLight® ER-GFP, which labels the endoplasmic reticulum with green fluorescence, or (center) Premo™ Autophagy Sensor LC3B-GFP, which labels autophagosomes with punctate green-fluorescent accumulations of the LC3B protein. (right) A Schwann cell has been double-labeled with BacMam 2.0 GFP transduction control and CellularLights™ Actin-RFP. Note that the actin-RFP in this image was transduced into Schwann cells using the first-generation (BacMam 1.0) reagent, which will label glial cells and many dividing cell types but does not work well with neurons.
Figure 3. BacMam expression in primary and neural stem cell types. (A) Phase-contrast and (B) fluorescence images of BacMam GFP transduction control expressed in rat hippocampal neuron cultures. Dose-dependent GFP expression in human neural stem cell cultures (NSCs) exposed to (C) 1% (v/v) and (D) 10% (v/v) of the BacMam GFP transduction control reagent.
Live-Cell Imaging Tools for Cell Structure, Autophagy, and Calcium Flux
Scientists at Life Technologies have introduced a suite of BacMam 2.0 probes that are compatible with live-cell imaging of primary neurons, including the CellLight® reagents and the Premo™ sensors. The CellLight® reagents are prepackaged, ready-to-use DNA constructs for the expression of organelle- or cytoskeleton-targeted fluorescent proteins (Figure 2), as well as the nontargeted BacMam GFP transduction control (Figure 3). The Premo™ Autophagy Sensors provide a LC3B–fluorescent protein chimera, which serves as a general marker for autophagic membranes. These BacMam 2.0 reagents can be used to probe a variety of neural processes, from trafficking of intracellular organelles and cytoskeletal dynamics, to the induction of autophagy. While standard cell lines such as HeLa and CHO cells typically express these fluorescent protein fusions for about 5 days, expression has been demonstrated for up to two weeks in some primary cells, and in terminally differentiated neurons we have images recorded more than three weeks after transduction.
For multiplex imaging experiments with green-fluorescent probes including the BacMam 2.0 GFP reagents, we recommend the red-shifted calcium indicator rhod-3 AM (Figure 4). This calcium sensor is ideal for reporting transient changes in neural cytosolic calcium signaling in cells expressing GFP. In addition to its red-shifted excitation and emission maxima, rhod-3 dye typically displays more uniform cytosolic distribution and improved signal compared with the traditional red-fluorescent calcium indicator rhod-2, which is used primarily to visualize mitochondrial calcium dynamics in living cells.
Figure 4. Excitation/emission spectra of rhod-3 dye and time-lapse calcium imaging in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons loaded with rhod-3 AM during depolarization with elevated potassium chloride (KCl). The tight absorbance and emission spectra of rhod-3 dye are ideal for measuring cytosolic calcium in cells expressing GFP. The affinity of rhod-3 for free calcium is ~570 nM, providing an ideal dissociation constant (Kd for the measurement of cytosolic calcium as it enters through voltage gated ion channels, as shown in this time lapse series. In this experiment, cells loaded with rhod-3 AM were positioned adjacent to flowpipes containing control solution or elevated KCl during acquisition, as frames were taken every 100 milliseconds. Elevated (50 mM) KCl depolarizes the cells and opens voltage-gated calcium ion channels, allowing calcium to enter the cells and bind to rhod-3, increasing fluorescence 2- to 4-fold, depending on the preparation and calcium concentrations involved.
Our Commitment to Live Neural-Cell Imaging Studies
Few cell types are as dynamic to work with as neurons and their glial counterparts. Molecular Probes® ready-to-use live-cell imaging tools help you capture dramatic evidence of a wide range of cell processes. In addition, Life Technologies offers Gibco® neural primary and stem cells, plus a complete suite of neural cell culture products—including media, supplements, substrates, and growth factors—all developed to work together for optimal performance.

After I wrote my recent essay, Tortured Reasoning, I sent copies via email to several friends I thought might be interested in it. A vigorous and eventually testy debate ensued. No, not about torture; these are my friends, after all. Rather, it was about the term "conservative", both its definition and whether someone who claims to adhere to Catholic social principles has any business describing himself as a conservative. Interestingly, I did not use the term in the essay, though I did speak of torture apologists on "the Right", and I did cite a couple of examples, who identify themselves as conservatives. And Tom Storck used the term in his comments on the post. As none of the defenses of torture have come from anyone remotely on the political Left I don't think Tom and I misspoke using conventional nomenclature, nor were we implying that all conservatives defend the use of torture. I said some time ago all I have to say on the subject in my essay of May 5, 2006, The Imitation of Christ: Why I am not a Conservative, so I just sat back and watched the fireworks.
On the one side were a handful of friends who identify themselves as conservatives, and on the other, a couple of friends who argue that "conservative" is not a fit label for a Catholic; that Catholics can have no home on the American political spectrum. The conservatives initially argued that the defenders of torture and militarism were not really conservatives, as they broke with the true faith, er, ideology, in so many ways. When pressed on the incompatibility of that ideology with Catholic social doctrine they seemed to shift: well, conservatism is not really definable, is more a matter of temperament. The holistic Catholics, for lack of a better term, pressed their point with true Thomistic doggedness and the defenders of conservatism became defensive and prickly.
As my sympathies in this quarrel are obvious, I probably did not describe it fairly in the minds of the conservatives. Sorry, I didn't follow the arguments closely, though I did keep an eye on them.
I revisit this debate because the most recent issue of The American Conservative arrived the other day, and it has several articles that illustrate the rampant controversy over the Right Wing crackup and the problematic nature of the term "conservative" and its various definitions. TAC, a few issues back announced that it was going to cease publishing a print edition. Happily, reader response to this bad news has enabled them to restructure to a monthly from a biweekly. Thank God, for in spite of its title TAC is my favorite political magazine. It is really a lively and diverse hodgepodge of outlooks: paleo-cons, traditionalists, localists, anarchists, libertarians, as well as a number of writers who could hardly be categorized on the Right at all. What seems to be the common thread is a rejection of neoconservatism, militarism, and the Democratic and Republican mainstream.
The current issue has a number of articles illustrating the general confusion swirling around the term "conservative". On the one end of the spectrum, Patrick Buchanan offers a pretty conventional "cultural warrior" strategy for a Republican comeback. Similar to this, W James Antle III, associate editor of The American Spectator, also sticks to a pretty normal rightish prescription for a GOP recovery of power. Less conventionally, David Bromwich argues more for the conservatism-as-mood viewpoint, with a distinct anti-war angle. And Rod Dreher wrings his hands over the cultural vulgarity of the Right, making his case for a sort of aesthetic traditionalism.
But surely the most original piece is Bill Kauffman's Found Cause: Don't call me a Conservative. Mr Kauffman, as I have noted before, is one of the most original and refreshing (and witty) voices on the American scene. This article is no exception; the sort of raucous, joyous, and unpredictable prose we have come to expect from the author. Unfortunately, whoever decided which articles from the current TAC would be available online skipped this one, clearly the finest in the issue.
Bill Kauffman says:
I do not say this better America would be a conservative America because for half a century "conservative" has been a synonym of-and a slave to-militarism, profligacy, the invasion of other nations, contempt for personal liberties, and an ignorance of and hostility toward provincial America that is Philip Rothian in its scope. The conservative movement, like the empire whose adjunct and cheer-leader it is, is a daisy chain of epicene dissemblers and vampiric chickenhawks who feast on the carrion of our Republic. The c-word is quite simply beyond reclamation.
Well said, and if he had stopped there I would have no qualm with him. But he goes on:
If we have to play Name That Tendency I'd opt for Little American, front-porch republican, localist, decentralist, libertarian, or to borrow Robert Frost's term, Insubordinate American- anything but C!
There is one term in that otherwise fine list that stands out as unsuitable for the adherent of Catholic and distributist principles, and for many of the same reasons that "conservative" does.. I speak of "libertarian". When both Ron Paul and Howard Stern are described as "libertarian" how could that term have any coherent meaning? And I need look no further than the back cover of this issue of The American Conservative to make my point.
There we find a full page ad for something called "Freedom Fest 2009", to be held this summer:
Dear fellow libertarians, Unwind, relax and become un-reasonable for 3 glorious days. Join me and a thousand other free minds for the time of your life: Freedom Fest 2009. Just think 7-11 in Vegas. (Huh? Do any definitions of 7-11 make sense in this context?-DN) We have big plans: over a hundred of your favorite speakers… 9 great debates…lots of food and drink…beautiful people…and entertainment galore: Vegas shows and our very own gala Saturday night banquet.
Nathaniel Branden said it best, "I feel an electricity I haven't felt in years."
Why Las Vegas?
Conservatives (CPAC) meet in Washington DC but we hate Washington and all it stands for. Doug Casey calls it the Death Star. We prefer Las Vegas, the world's most libertarian city.
Just allow that to settle in for a moment before I proceed. If Mr Dreher is seeking evidence of cultural barbarism on the Right he need look no further than the back cover of the journal in which his essay is printed.
I recognize only a few of the names that are mentioned in the ad, beginning with Nathaniel Branden, whom I did not realize was still kicking around. Mr Branden was the disciple and adulterous lover of Ayn Rand when that wicked woman was still alive (her name is invoked elsewhere in the Freedom Fest ad). He went on to a career in psychology, where he put the capital Self in self-help. Other names familiar to me include Charles Murray, Steve Forbes, Al Regnery, Bob Tyrrell, and unfortunately the Catholic writer Tom Woods. Ron Paul will also be making an appearance, to his discredit.
If I knew nothing else about libertarianism than this ad, it would be enough to keep me as far away as I could from that political sect. Any group which can cite Las Vegas, the very incarnation of what is most tawdry in the postmodern West, as a model city deserves to be laughed off the stage of public opinion. They ought to rename themselves "libertineists", and are about as far from a sane vision of the common good as can be imagined.
Catholics can expect no earthly home, let alone a place at the political table. Our City on the Hill is not DC or Las Vegas or the USA, but the New Jerusalem. Our Kingdom is not that of the Democrats or the Republicans or the Libertarians, but of God. In saying this I am not counseling removal from this world or from political action, but if we lose our perspective, if we forget our true home, we will wander lost in the dark, making alliances with those who are ultimately our enemies.

At this point I have a tile based game. The tiles are stored in a 6 by 12 array labelled 1-10. I need to search the board to find if there are 3 or more in a row or column after the player makes a switch, btw switches can only happen on the x axis and only with other tiles. I have the event listener all set but to search the board but after an event happens all I have is about 50 lines of if statements after two for loops. Each statement compares the x and y to x+1 and x+2 or x1 and x-2 and so on.
I have searched google and do know how to search 2d arrays but only for individual pieces, is there a way to expedite and unclutter the process of searching for rows or columns of 3+ of the same tile??
Also as a second question a move is made the tiles in row or column that have 3+ consecutive tiles of the same value will disappear and the remaining tiles will move up. again i do this with lots of if statements first changing the tiles found in 3 ore more to 0 my null number then replacing them with the next tile in the row the is not 0. Is there a better way to do either of the above processes that does not involve the millions of if statements i am currently using?

Hello Beauties,
This is my first guest post on Indian Beauty Zone and I am super happy , Thanks Radha for publishing my post . Today I am reviewing my current favorite foundation, Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation in the shade Warm Golden. It has been making quite a rage in the blogging world and supposedly replaced Revlon's hit product, Revlon Colorstay Makeup.
About The Product:
|Revlon colorstay whipped creme Foundation warm golden Review, Swatch & FOTD
Price- INR 800 for 23.7 ml.
Shades- There are three shades available.
1. Natural Ochre
2. Warm Golden
3. Natural Tan
Product Description:

The smooth, silky texture of Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup blends right into your skin, with no heavy or cakey feeling. The formula, containing silk and botanicals, goes on silky smooth with coverage you can build to even out skin tone. Presented in a sleek glass jar, the luxurious creme makeup leaves a soft matte finish that will enhance any complexion. Skin looks flawless with up to 24 hours wear!
• Time release technology balances skin for a continuously flawless look.
• This next-generation patent-pending whipped creme formula feels lightweight and comfortable, so makeup looks flawless all day, without rubbing off
• Bouncy, whipped formula feels ultra light and silky smooth
• Soft Matte finish
• Buildable to full coverage
• Wears up to 24hrs
• Fragrance Free
• Oil Free
Warm Golden suits me to the T :) Here is the swatch: -
The foundation comes in a frosted glass jar with a round black screw cap. It also has a small lip separating the cap roof and the product. The white lid makes sure that no product gets accumulated in the cap making a mess. It is not the most convenient packaging but I have figured a way out to make sure it doesn't get contaminated.
Since the quantity is huge, it is going to last long and the chances of introducing bacteria to the foundation increases by manifold. First of all, I don't dip my fingers into the pot at all. I take a clean q-tip to take the foundation out. I take a coin size amount of the product with the help of a q-tip and transfer it to a small jar (like the ones they give you in Clinique stores for product samples). This way I don't open the jar as often and the foundation doesn't get introduced to any kind of bacteria.
Coverage & texture-
It offers medium coverage. I like to add two thin layers. That way it doesn't look cakey. It has a very thick creamy texture.
My experience
I have acne prone combination-oily skin. Most of the foundations break me out and that includes MAC, EL & MUFE. On one hand all our lovely bloggers' HG foundation comes from these brands, I stay away from them :( Thankfully, it has not broken me out. Once the foundation is set, it stays and stays, even through Delhi heat & humidity. Sweating makes my face shiny which can easily be resolved with a blotting sheet.
I have worn it for 10 hours and it didn't fade at all. Yeah, can you believe it? It is appropriate for long hours even through non-AC environment. I have tried using brush as well as fingers with this foundation. Fingers give better coverage while my RT Expert Face Brush sheers out the coverage a bit. Let sum up the pros and cons :)
Pros: -
1. Medium coverage.
2. Buildable.
3. Apt for combination-oily skin.
4. Very long wearing.
5. Doesn't fade easily.
6. Didn't break me out.
7. Huge quantity is given and a very small amount is required every time. So the jar will last a long time.
Cons: -
1. Tub packaging.
Overall, I just love the foundation
God Bless!

Hello hc,
The few FAL's I have worked on needed barrel shims to get the proper timing.
The bolt when locked should bear against the breach not the cartridge head. The reason for that is to avoid cartridge compression on ammo that extends out the chamber a bit but otherwise seems to headspace. Therefore check your barrel vs the bolt with a guage or round first to see if the round or guage separates the two.
On a 16 TPI threaded barrel one rev of the barrel equals 1/16 inch axial displacement. Therefore a shim of less than 1/16 inch may be needed to get the barrel timed. Sometimes a tiny bit off the shoulder will do the job.
Marshal Tool and Supply Corp has the 1 x 16 TPI tap (p/n 2144-0401) listed @ $49.03 each. Metric FAL barrel sizes HSS taps are a few bux more.
Can you tweek the warp manually (arbor or hydraulic press) from your receiver casting ??? The steel is supposed to be in the soft condition.
The FAL ejector block is the BATFE control item. A semi-auto only E-block will be needed.
I'm looking forward to your build.

If you were fortunate enough in this past election to have someone other than your campaign committee pay for the production of your radio or television ads — or for their air time — you might want to check your disclosures.
In an opinion handed down today, the state Court of Appeals ruled that sponsors of political ads aired on radio or television include both the producers of the message and the buyers of the media time, and that any such ads must disclose both in order to comply with the state's "stand by your ad" law.
The case arose out of the 2010 battle for the 47th Senate District seat between Democrat Joe Sam Queen and Republican Ralph Hise. Hise won that election, and as we reported earlier, Queen later sued the Hise Committee for failing to disclose in television ads that the Republican party had purchased the air time for those ads.
Both candidates received contributions from their respective parties which they used for ad buys. In Queen's case, the Democratic party wired money to his campaign committee, which in turn used those funds to buy media time. But for Hise, the Republicans sent funds directly to the media buyer, which then bought air time once Hise approved an ad.
Queen argued that because the Hise committee never had control over those funds, it could not disclose itself as the sponsor of ads; rather, the Republican party should have been identified as the sponsor.
But the Court of Appeals didn't reach that argument, finding instead that both campaigns failed to comply with the law by not disclosing who paid for both the production and the air time for their respective messages.
"We hold that payment of production costs for the 'message,' here the videos, constitutes part of the sponsorship of an
'advertisement' under [the law]," wrote Judge Donna Stroud for a unanimous panel. . . . "Thus, where different entities or individuals jointly purchase the message, the air time, portions of either, or both, they must disclose joint sponsorship under this section."
Because the law requires aggrieved candidates to have otherwise fully complied with its provisions — which Queen did not — he could not recover any damages from Hise.

Second malignant neoplasms among survivors of pediatric Hodgkin disease treated with low-dose radiation (15-25.5 Gy) and chemotherapy
Contribuidor de contenido: Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Fecha de la última revisión: 3 de junio de 2009
Presenter: M.M. O'Brien
Presenter's Affiliation: Standford University
Type of Session: Scientific
- There has been a steady improvementin the survival rates ofpediatric patients with Hodgkin's diseaseas more effective treatment and more accurate staging techniqueshave become available in the last few decades.
- As the number ofHodgkin's disease (HD) survivors increases, we are seeing an increased number of late-term toxicities, including second malignant neoplasms (SMN), which are the most common cause of death in these patients.
- It is well-known that the occurrence of second malignant neoplasms in these patients is associated with both chemotherapy and radiation.
- Current published studies that have reported rates of second malignancies in pediatric patients with HD were treated with radiation 20-30 years ago with radiation doses often exceeding 40 Gy.
- Modern protocols use much lower doses of radiation in children with HD, however these studies have been limited by short follow up (median f/up is approximately 10 years).
- While it is theorized that lower radiation doses may be associated with lower SMN risk, long-term follow-up of children treated with low-dose radiation is lacking. Therefore, we do not have adequate data on second malignancy risk in these patients.
- Pediatric HD patients at Standford University have been routinely on an in-house protocol where low dose RT (15-25.5 Gy) and chemotherapy are used. The main objectives of this protocol were to decrease the risk of complications from radiation for these patients and see a benefit in efficacy.
- This retrospective cohort study was performed to examine the occurrence of SMNs among pediatric HD survivors treated at Stanford with chemotherapy and low-dose radiation from 1970 to 1990.
- The hypothesis of the current study was that lower radiation doses would lower SMN incidence and provide a longer latency period the development of SMNs.
- Pediatric HD patients at Standford were treated on the Ped HD1 protocol from 1970-1982, in which patients received 6 cycles of MOPP (mechlorethamine, vincristine, prednisone, procarbazine) with 15-25.5 Gy (dependent on bone age) radiation ± 10 Gy boost. Children on HD1 had to have a bone age< 15 years and radiation was given to a modified involved field.
- From 1982-1990, they were treated on the Ped HD2 protocol with 3 MOPP and 3 ABVD cycles (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) with 15 Gy radiation ± 10 Gy boost to bulky disease. These children had were age <19 and also received radiation to a modified involved field.
- Follow-up was obtained through 9/1/2007 by the form of questionnaires.
- A thorough central review of pathology reports of secondary malignancies was performed.
- Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and absolute excess risk (AER) for SMN were calculated using the SEER9 database (1973-2004).
- Kaplan-Meier method was used to determine the cumulative SMN incidence.
- Univariate associations were evaluated with the chi-square test or t-test, and multivariate analysis was performed with Cox proportional hazards regression using chronological age as the time scale.
- 110/112 patients achieved remission; median follow-up was 20.6 years.
- In the Ped HD1 protocol, the median age was 10.5 years and the median mantle field radiation dose was 20 Gy. The median follow-up for this group was 25.4 years.
- 4 patients in this group developed secondary leukemia, and 6 patients developed solid tumors (2 breast, 2 thyroid, and 2 other).
- In the Ped HD 2 protocol, the median age was slightly higher at 12.4 years. The median mantle field radiation dose was 20 Gy and 90% of patients got below 25.5 Gy. Median f/up was 19 years.
- No patients has secondary leukemias, 11 patients developed solid secondary malignancies (thyroid, breast and sarcoma).
- The median time to development of SMN was 15.5 years.
- In total, of all patients treated on these 2 protocols, fifteen patients developed 17 secondary solid tumors (5 thyroid carcinomas, 6 breast carcinomas, 4 sarcomas, 1 bladder paraganglioma, 1 melanoma) at a median of 15.4 years.
- All solid tumors except the melanoma occurred within or at the margin of radiation fields, ranging in dose from 15-26.5 Gy.
- There were no cases of lung, gastric, or colorectal carcinoma.
- Cumulative incidence of any SMN is 17% (95%CI 10.5-26.7) at 20 years following HD diagnosis. For solid SMNs, the cumulative incidence was 14.3% at 20 years.
- Overall, the SIR for any SMN is 22.9 (95%CI 14.2-35) with an AER of 93.7 cases per 10,000 person-years.
- The analysis of risk factors for SMN development was limited by the small cohort size.
- However, in univariate analysis, older age at HD diagnosis (>11 years) and female gender were associated with SMN (p<0.05).
- In multivariate analysis, there were no statistically significant associations.
- The incidence of SMN in pediatric HD survivors continues to be elevated following treatment with chemotherapy and low-dose radiation.
- Low-dose radiation does not prevent or delay the occurrence of solid SMNs.
- The cumulative incidence rates and SIR estimates of sarcomas, breast, and thyroid carcinomas occurrence seen in this study were similar to cohort previously treated with high-dose radiation on trials like LESG, CCSS, and the Nordic trial.
- Future work should involve:
- Refinement of XRT techniques.
- Radiation dose reduction or elimination.
- Studies of genetic predisposition of patients to SMNs.
- As the treatment of Hodgkin's disease improves, children are surviving longer due to higher rates of cure. This brings about a growing concern over the long-term toxicity of treatment that involves both radiation and chemotherapy.
- One of the most worrisome and lethal late-term toxicities in these patients is the development of a second malignant neoplasm.
- SMNs may be caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, as both can lead to tumor formation. They may also be due genetic predisposition.
- The results of this retrospective study were negative, and show that despite using much lower doses of radiation, the incidence of SMN in pediatric HD survivors continues to be high following treatment with chemotherapy and radiation. Moreover, the rates seen in this study were similar to previous studies where larger doses of radiation were used.
- The elevated risk of SMNs haslargely been attributed to the effects of radiation by the authors of this study. However, we must remember that the chemotherapy agents used in these protocols are also carcinogenic and may be contributing in large part to the elevated risks of SMNs in these patients.
- Furthermore, there are likely othercontributing factors including an impaired immunesystem related to treatments or the disease itself and/or geneticsusceptibility in some of the patients.
- We must be cautious when trying to reduce radiation treatment doses for pediatric patients with HD because this may come atthe expense ofa higher relapse rate, which has been seen when chemotherapy is used alone.
- Our foremost goal is improvingthe Hodgkin's disease cure rate, and therefore we must balance the need to reduce late toxicities such as SMNs with making sure we continue to deliver appropriate therapy for the patients' initial HD.
- One limitation of this retrospective study is that follow-up data is based on patient questionnaire and there is varying follow-up time of the different treatments astherapeutic approaches for Hodgkin's disease evolve over time.
- Our goal in guiding practices to reduce the rate of SMNs should be to continue to identify other non-treatment risk factors for the development ofsecond malignancy after Hodgkin's disease treatment.
- Modifiable risk factors(e.g. tobacco use, sun exposure, dietary habits) should be identified as these patients become older.
- Counselingand behavioral modification both at the time ofHodgkin's diseasediagnosis and during follow-up may serve to lower the risk.
- Patients should also be targeted formore vigilant follow-up and more intensive cancer screening.

From the East River to Bushwick Avenue lies one of Brooklyn's most culturally diverse enclaves—Williamsburg. Now home to some of the borough's best restaurants, art and music venues, fashion boutiques, and actual record stores, this neighborhood has grown significantly over the last 15 years to the point that it has cultivated a global reputation. But, at the heart of Williamsburg still lies a DIY ideology and an independent culture that's centered on self-expression. And it is this that makes the neighborhood so attractive to small business owners looking to take their companies to the next level. At WeWork, we have spacious shared workspace that's specifically designed to help you reach your goals.
In 1903, the iconic Williamsburg Bridge was opened. At the time, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world and Williamsburg has never been the same ever since. The bridge connected working-class Williamsburg to Manhattan's Lower East Side and as a result, Williamsburg's once predominant German and Irish populations moved across the bridge in search of jobs. This vacancy resulted in an influx of artists, instrumental in shaping the colorful community that Williamsburg has since become. And, much like the community it resides in, WeWork's shared office spaces in Williamsburg offer energetic and inspiring environments for local businesses of 1 to 100. Our office buildings aren't so much a collective of companies; it's an engaged community that's enhanced through organic networking and lunch-and-learns, not to mention custom art and supportive services. Plus, there's free micro-roasted coffee, well-equipped conference rooms, and onsite staff to help make your day run smoother. Discover the dynamic impact WeWork's Williamsburg office spaces can make on your business by scheduling a visit.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... History and Old Stuff...
This magnificent old house is in Guthrie, Kentucky, on Highway 41 less than a half-mile from the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. Guthrie is in Todd County, one county east of us, about 20 miles from our home. This little town was the birthplace of the noted Kentucky poet, Robert Penn Warren.
When Keely was home Saturday with her boyfriend, we drove over to Clarksville to do some shopping, and we stopped at Guthrie particularly so Keely could admire this house again. It's been one of her favorites for years and she hadn't seen it for a while. I think she likes the turret (the small tower); turrets are a recurring theme in her favorite houses.
When we first moved here, this house was showing signs of deterioration and disrepair, but about ten years ago, a carpenter purchased the house and began a loving restoration of it. It's now the jewel of the little town of Guthrie. I don't know if the same family still owns the house or not. I believe it was offered for sale several years ago.
Concrete statuary adds to the fairy-tale charm of the house. There are gargoyles on the rooftop obelisks, a cherub on the ledge of the attic window, urns on the porch pillars, and much more. This house has enough gravitas to carry off all that ornamentation, though I think much more would be too much.
The stonework and masonry are superbly done with exquisite details. It would be interesting to know something about the workmen who built the home. I wonder if they were local craftsmen or if they were recruited from somewhere else. Were they directed by the architect, the builder, or the homeowner, or was the master stonemason allowed to exercise his creativity and his own judgment?

Haters gonna hate, seriously, try doing this. People whine about how easy 10 man is, try doing it this way. It's HARD. RNG is much more of a bitch and if you lose one person, it's usually a wipe.
4th? I thought there were a lot more 10man strict guilds farming him, guess I was wrong;
Anyway, grats, hope to see 10man guilds prosper in Cata as well
Grats on the world 4th kill with the intended gearlevel.
The most people complaining in this thread probably got their LK10 HC kill in full 277 gear. If they even killed it at all.
4th eh nice one, big gratz to you... the guild im in is a strict 10 man raid guild, we dont any 25 mans at all and are currently doing lk heroic all geared with icc 10/heroic gear (except maybe the odd person who got a lil icc 25 gear (not heroic tho so only iLvL 264).. weve had 4 solid nights on him so far and are currently at about 35%, making it in and out of the frostmourne phase quite regular now.. slight loadin delays for a couple of folks made this bit a lil awkward for us on the few tries weve had at this point of the fight.. but yea within a week or so we will have killed him im sure..
Last edited by invader; 2010-11-10 at 10:47 AM.
Without doubt its harder to get a proper gear setup from 10 mans due to itemisation. (no im NOT talkin item lvl)
well,, we finally killed lich king heroic last night.. so not sure where that ranks as us now as a 10 man guild to have killed him .. i think were the only 10 man guild on our realm to have killed him tho, but ill have to check... awesome fight tho
eres me incase u wanna check
Big congratulations!
And to everyone saying it's not impressive, come back when you'v done it yourself.
Because I can with all certainty say, you will not make it, EVER.
Being in a 10man strict means no weapons from 25, no trinkets from 25, no DBW / Dislodged / Sindra / Albacus at all.
No shadowmourne, yeah.. most top guilds that killed 10LKH had people with shadowmourne, because they just didn't have the gear for him before that, and yet, they were 25manHC-geared.
Cordination and timing in 10man is alot more important than the 25man fight, concidering 1 misstake will wipe the raid, whilst in 25man, you can spare 1 person @ some point. In 10man, no.. you just can't do that.
Best trinkets availible for tanks is also a joke. ~Skeleton Key.. wow, imbah.
Also, gearing in 25's is 3x(maybe even 4x) faster then 10manHC-gearing.
running 10man HC + 25man / 25man HC, more gear, better gear, MORE emblems.
10man HC guilds get half the emblem loot and 1/3 of the gear a 25man guild does, thus making it alot more time consuming to grind the gear.
Even with the 30% buff, it's a damn good accomplishment, many people saying it's not impressive.. I doubt could even make it with a 50% buff.
7-11 never stop
Grats Entro & Unspoken, From one 10man strict raider to another
Our guild stopped raiding a week or 2 after getting our 10 man drakes, as at that time (i think 15-20% buff) no one for strict had done it, and pretty much no one thought it would happen (i guess they were right)
I wish the attendance boss hadnt wiped us out, as i think we would have got it down well before anyone else on ourserver, but unfortunatly, 30% buff, 4.0 talents made complete horribles look like superstars on ourserver
Shame about the trolling from some people in this thread.
We are still working towards the LK 10 HC kill at the moment. Progress is very slow however at least there is some progress. Really pleased for you that you have killed this - it gives us a little hope that this can still be done by normal none pro elitest guilds
well i must say it was a massive achievement for us,, nearly all of us have only 10 man or 10 man heroic gear (i was tank and only have mainly 251 gear), apart from maybe the odd person who has a lil 25 man gear from the odd pug run a while ago, but not much. so that means it wasnt really a strict 10 man kill but its not far off. but yea mechanics maybe a lil easier with 10 people running away from defile instead of 25 etc, but we ran 3 healers and 5 dps as we couldnt cope with only using 2 healers probly due to gear maybe,we also didnt have a shaman either so no Bloodlust for us, so dps had to be on there toes to kill valks asap, kill raging spirits asap etc,, it was a mega fun tense fight all round, really enjoyed the progress building upto it
hard work and perseverence finally pays off (also nobody had any lag issues last night which helped immensely lol)
cheers folks
definately not an easy encounter for anyone, so a major gz to you guys as a guild! keep it up
Have a Nice Day ™...

XLR8R Adds Miami to Their Guide

XLR8R's City Guide now has Miami.

Great puzzle game with graphics by Eboy himself.

Twin Shadow has been making some waves throughout the internets lately. I recently purchased his new album Forget, and I must say I quite like it. I am also really liking this remix he has done for Hooray For Earth, who I had never heard of before this song, but will surely be checking them out after hearing it.
The last I heard of Muscles he had quit the music business because of problems with his label Modular. This disappointed me because I love his music. However, I was happy to see that if the rumors were true at the time he has apparently changed his mind. A new EP by Muscles titled Younger & Immature is due out October 29.
Here's a remix of the first single from the EP 'Girl Crazy Go'. Check out the music video for the original version here. From the sounds of it Muscles hasn't lost his musical touch, or his ego.
Music by Bassnectar isn't something I would normally post here. For the most part I feel his stuff is for dirty rave hippies, and if you read this blog at all you probably know how I feel about the wobbly bass-heavy Dubstep. That being said this remix done of Sleigh Bells' song 'Run the Heart' is still bass-heavy, but not completely overboard. It also manages to keep a lot of what makes the original track so good.
Chances are if you spend any amount of time on the internet you have heard 'Hello' by Martin Solveig featuring the lovely Dragonette (considering it went number one on Hype Machine). But I couldn't resist posting this super-fun dance-pop masterpiece. It's basically impossible not to want to dance to this song. I don't know a lot about Martin Solveig, but from what I have heard and seen so far I am liking his stuff. Purchase the EP with several remixes on Beatport now.
Millionyoung, aka Mike Diaz, is shaping up to be one of my favorite artist of 2010. I really love this cover he has done of Neon Indian's 'Local Joke'. He adds his own personality to the song, so much that it sounds as though he could have written it. I am looking forward to a full-length album from him.
