The optimal use of radiotherapy in small cell lung cancer.
J Natl Compr Canc Netw. 2013; (1): 107-14
Small cell lung cancer is an aggressive malignancy that is highly responsive to radiation therapy (RT), which has an important role in all stages of disease. For locally advanced, limited-stage disease, the standard of care is chemotherapy with concurrent radiation, which should be started early. The optimal radiation dose and field design remain to be determined. Randomized trials are currently being conducted to determine if dose intensification will improve outcomes, whereas consensus on elective nodal irradiation is evolving. Current studies are evaluating the potential benefit of consolidative thoracic RT in the management of patients with extensive-stage disease that has responded favorably to chemotherapy. Finally, prophylactic cranial irradiation improves survival in both limited- and extensive-stage disease that has responded to initial therapy.

Well today we took advantage of some of the last days of beautiful summery/autumny weather during out canoe building master class led by David Payne, a curator with the Australian National Maritime Museum. David is over with us from Sydney where he has been running canoe building workshops. He has an amazing self-taught knowledge of building bark canoes and is sharing it with us this week. We started off with a large pile of bark collected by Keryn Walshe, curator of the SA Museum earlier this week (thanks Keryn!). Although the pieces weren't large enough to build a full scale canoe, we certainly made use of them to make several smaller scale models. David's lecture about Indigenous canoes was intriguing and raised more questions than it gave us answers. Not to say he doesn't know a whole heap about canoes in Australia, but as he points out, there is so much to be learnt. David showed us a great map he's been working on which demonstrates the distribution of types of canoes around Australia and pointed out places where students might contribute with thesis projects! He also discussed the materials and types of canoes that we'd be constructing in the master class. We were pretty excited to get our hands dirty and start constructing. So here are a few photos of our first day.

The summary of the decisions is as follows:
Low Knowledge Stocks
The Minister has decided to adjust total allowable catches (TACs), total allowable commercial catches (TACCs), allowances and deemed values for a number of stocks, using an average of landings over the past seven years, plus 10%; The Minister's decisions on specific stocks are:Orange Roughy (ORH 1) The Minister has decided to withdraw the Adapative Management Programme(AMP) for ORH 1 and: i) Reduce the TAC for ORH 1 for the 2006–07 fishing year to the pre-AMP level of 840 tonnes, and within that TAC; - Set a 40 tonnes allowance for other sources of fishing-related mortality, and zero allowances for customary Mäori interests and recreational fishery interests; - Set the TACC for ORH 1 at 800 tonnes; - Request industry to implement a structured fishing plan to spread catch and effort across four sub-areas of ORH 1, with sub-area catch limits of: • Sub-area A reduced from 200 tonnes to 125 tonnes; with a 100 tonnes annual feature limit; • Sub-area B reduced from 500 tonnes to 275 tonnes; with a 150 tonnes annual feature limit; • Sub-area C reduced from 500 tonnes to 275 tonnes; with a 150 tonnes annual feature limit; • Sub-area D reduced from 200 tonnes to 125 tonnes; with a 75 tonnes annual feature limit; • Retain the ORH 1 bycatch-only limit for the Mercury-Colville 'box' at 30 tonnes; • Retain the unstandardised CPUE thresholds for feature limits from the current AMP; ii) Implement 100% observer coverage of all ORH 1 fishing trips and all fishing in the Mercury-Colville 'box'; Orange Roughy (ORH 3B) The Minister has decided to reduce the TAC for orange roughy in ORH 3B from 13,335 tonnes to 12,075 tonnes for the 2006–07 fishing year, and within the TAC: i) Set an allowance of 575 tonnes for other sources of fishing related mortality; ii) Set zero allowances within the TAC for customary Maori and recreational fishery interests; and iii) Set the TACC at 11,500 tonnes; The Minister has decided to set the following designated sub-area catch limits within the TACC: i) Northwest Chatham Rise to be reduced from 1,500 to 750 tonnes; ii) East Chatham Rise to be maintained at 7,250 tonnes; and within the East Chatham Rise to allow Deepwater Stakeholder Group (DSG) to establish catch limits that recognise sustainability concerns for: - the "Spawning Box' fishery at 4,000 tonnes during the spawning aggregation months June through August; - the Northeast Hills fishery at 200 tonnes; - the Andes Complex fishery at 700 tonnes; - with the remainder to be distributed about the North-eastern Flats and Spawning Box outside the spawning months (June through August); iii) South Chatham Rise to be maintained at 1,400 tonnes; iv) Arrow Plateau to be reduced from 1,000 tonnes to 0 tonnes, acknowledging: - the declining fishery interest in the Arrow Plateau (60 tonnes harvested in 2004-05); and - the DSG initiative to designate much of the Arrow Plateau as a BPA with prohibitions on bottom trawling; v) Sub-Antarctic to be increased from 1,300 tonnes to 1,850 tonnes including a specific feature limit for the Priceless region at 500 tonnes; The Minister has decided to seek Industry support for implementation of the catch limits for ORH 3B by way of voluntary agreement; and i) Acknowledge the objectives and operational implementation of the Deepwater Fisheries Management Agreement prior to the 1 October 2006 fishing year and each year thereafter; ii) Request that annual updates and specific DSG annual agreements that pertain to the ORH 3B fishery be submitted to MFish; iii) Request that monthly monitoring reports pertaining to catch levels by ORH 3B designated sub-areas be submitted to MFish; iv) Request that MFish be notified when catch reaches 80% of the feature limits, and also be notified when any feature limit has been reached; v) Request that DSG work with MFish Science group to develop and present a stock assessment research programme for the Sub-Antarctic.
Paua (5A)
The Minister has decided to:
· leave the TACC unchanged at 149.98 tonnes; and
· require that an appropriate research programme be undertaken to remedy the current deficiencies in the stock assessment information; and
· Noting that the industry has agreed to implement their proposed integrated package of management measures, include a 45 tonne catch reduction and effort spreading.
Rig (SPO 7) The Minister has decided to set a TAC of 279 tonnes for SPO 7 and within that TAC set: i) a customary allowance of 15 tonnes; ii) a recreational allowance of 29 tonnes; iii) an allowance of 5 tonnes for other sources of fishing related mortality; and iv) a TACC of 221 tonnes. Alfonsino (BYX 1) The Minister has decided to retain the status quo AMP arrangements in the fishery for a further two years, that is: i) TAC for BYX 1 of 304 tonnes, and within that TAC: - Maintain a 2 tonnes allowance for customary Maori interests and 2 tonnes for recreational fishery interests. No allowance has been set for fishing related mortality; - Maintain a TACC for BYX 1 of 300 tonnes; - A maximum of 60 tonnes to be taken per 1o square of area; ii) Maintain existing AMP reporting and review requirements: - Bycatch management provisions; - Completion of logbooks; - Annual review of performance indicators; The Minister will encourage industry in writing to improve compliance with AMP information requirements.

These sentimental cities help couples set the mood for a vacation to remember
Franklin, Tenn. (PRWEB) February 05, 2013
Livability.com, a national website that highlights more than 500 of America's best places to live and visit, has released a list of the Top 10 Romantic Cities 2013.
The list highlights those small towns and mid-sized cities that set the stage for couples to write their own love story by sharing an exquisite meal, a romantic walk in the park or along the beach, or a night of live entertainment – all in picturesque surroundings.
To narrow down the list, editors asked travel writer Paris Permenter, co-publisher of Lovetripper.com, a site that specializes in honeymoons and romantic trips, to help determine what makes a city romantic. Permenter suggests that the most romantic cities are those with charming hotels and B&Bs, intimate restaurants, breathtaking scenery, and a unique and alluring atmosphere.
Finally, editors factored in the number and type of amenities for couples, such as outdoor recreation, arts and culture, and nightlife.
"With this list, we specifically looked for smaller, more intimate destinations where couples can enjoy all the city's romantic amenities without having to fight crowds," says John Hood, Livability.com spokesman. "But we also chose cities that have a unique appeal, whether it be the haunting history of Savannah or the stunning mountain views in Scottsdale."
Top 10 Romantic Cities 2013

4. Charlottesville, VA

It's season finale time and your favorite TV show just ended with the title character's life in jeopardy.
Will she live or die?
In a few short months, you'll find out....
This type of ending is known as a cliffhanger.
Some believe that the idea of a cliffhanger can be traced all the way back to the beginning of storytelling.
One of the earliest cliffhangers occurred in the serial novel, "A Pair of Blue Eyes" by Thomas Hardy in 1873.
One new pair of blue eyes every month
The story was published in the newspaper with one chapter appearing each month. Hardy ended one of the months with his main character hanging off a cliff facing his rocky death.
The actual word "cliffhanger" doesn't appear in print until around 1937 when many popular authors and silent films were using cliffhangers to keep interest in their novels and films.
Check out Kid Kred from the beginning.
Writers of books, television, movies and comic books continue to use cliffhangers. For example:
- Most television series end their season with a cliffhanger not to be resolved until the coming fall. Example: "Lost."
- Movies such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" used cliffhangers to lead into the next movie.
Cliffhangers continue to be an important part of entertainment and literature to this day because of their ability to grab attention and keep interest.
In AJ's "Kid Kred" comic serial, the editors used cliffhangers every seven weeks to get your vote for the direction of the series. At every cliffhanger, AJ's artists and writers had three weeks to develop the comic strips for the next four weeks, thus determining the course for the entire series.

Store all of your beautiful scrapbook layouts in this durable memory album from KMA. This 8 ½" x 11" album is made of Naugahyde, a dur... Full Description & Details.
I have a number of these albums and they are great!! Well made!!
I have always been pleased with this line of albums. That is why I am a repeat buyer of them!!!
Being a "non-scrapbooker" but a photo archivist, I have ordered a number of 3-ring photo binders in the past for my photos. All the albums had the D-rings. This most recent order of photo binders/memory albums no longer has them. I noticed a significant difference between my binders/albums that have the D-rings and the newer ones that don't. The pages lay flatter, turn easier, and more pages can be placed in an album with the D-rings. Have they stopped manufacturing albums with the D-rings?
Other features that I like on all the photo binders/albums is the reinforced corners and the different colors to choose from.

* This mod uses some assets from Sins of the 13th Tribe (credit will be listed in the readme when released).
Quick synopsis
This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach.
Colonial Fleet
Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.
Defense Forces - You believe disagreements can be resolved politically. You are more likely to build alliance with the majority of factions making it easier to reach cease fires and pacts. Your Titan is more defensive and able to act as a mobile fleet command when needed.
Separatists - You believe all Cylons are Toasters and can't be trusted. You also have a anti-Xeno bigotry that extends to all non-human factions. Your Titan is heavily offensive capable of inflicting mass damage.

That's a good one Koobalt
In dolynick's Stargate mod, the Asgard envoy's have the ability "Quell Unrest" which can restore planet allegiance over time... There are probably other ones that are out there that are better anyway...
I like this too!
Do the colonials or cylon have superweapons? (planet structures that is)
Colonial - hull
Organic reinforcement hull - gain from cylon separatist, allow slow regeneration hull hit points and small defense buff.
That is the old Advent envoy ability that was removed because it didn't really affect gameplay.
There is no modifier that increases allegiance similar to what the advent starbase can do is what I meant. This is what I would want as an envoy ability.
TBH, I don't like superweapons in their current form for various reasons and spend less time thinking about how to mod new stuff in for them.
Currently colonials don't have anything specific for a superweapon and the cylons of the resurrection hub though it doesn't do anything cylon'ish right now.
Makes sense.... in the series the colonials don't actually have anything like a superweapon. The Cylons kinda do with the resurrection hub (which i believe is going to be linked in to the resurrection ships). Although the player should only be able to build one of these? Z?
Not sure that I like this... the assumption would be that in the game that the Colonials will have an allegiance with the cylons? Perhaps this could be unlocked if the cylons become allies of the colonials? may be more suited to an unlocked pact through diplomacy...
Sounds good...
One of the oldest and biggest ship, from Kobalt Defense Fleet, the Cetus Battlestar, if ZombiesRus5 will want it and if i find time to complete it perhaps a Titan for Colonials
Looks awesome Koobalt.
Looks pretty different to the other battlestars.... I like it!
But I guess we already have the Jupiter though?
this ship is based on the image belove, from description on site i find it, it's the oldest battlestar that actually was leading one of the exodus fleet from kobol, know to be lost found abandon in space, refited to newest technology the biggest of all ship in colonial fleet.
well if Koobalt is able to finish it. I vote for the cetus. For one thing it looks more like a colonial Battlestar than the Jupiter. All so it just looks tough.
I vote for both personally. Both would make good looking Titans and I like the back story to the Cetus.
Similarly Cylons will have two buildable Titans.
yes... and a question is there a change in max weapon per site in rebellion or still 3x20 per each site??
and do we wont a visible guns since i think it may look cool but it's a waste of poly, and they will no rotated so sometimes it looks at least strange?
Titans have 5x20 is my understanding right now.
Also, I like some visible turrets. Like for KEW I find the visible turrets add more to the immersion and didn't add a lot of performance penalty. For FLAK i don't care to have any.
Missile tubes could be from textures so some visible view is there.
I believe rebellion is adding two new weapon types too of FLAK and RAILGUN. Not sure if Railgun fits, but Titans will have KEW, Autocannon, Flak, Missile, 5th could be railgun or one of the other weapons with maybe higher damage longer cooldown or some such.
Rail guns would fit the colonials. I was thinking Bow mounted Heavy Rail guns for the titian. Mounted in Batteries of Two.
Don't want to be a stickler for detail... but the ship that left Kobol was called the Galleon... although I guess there could have been others.
no the Galleon was the ship that take the leaders of 12 from capital to the Tomb of Athena on kobol.
there is no where said what ship or ships take part in exodus from kobol, the story of Cetus is most likely someone fanfic created to the image of very cool battlestar.
by the way if anyone find any image of this Galleon give me a message.
i checked all of my BSG sites and couldn't find any images of the Galleon. and Mord_Sith84 is right the Galleon was the ship that took the Twelve Tribes of Kobol to the colonies. Which means it would be Huge!
Yep! Would need to be a Cylon Colony-sized ship at least... because i would imagine that it would need to fit millions of people!
what is the poly limit for a titan class ship??

Comments about Grasshopper Kits Grasshopper Preschool Prep Kids ABCs & Following Directions:
I was really dissapointed by this box. While the book has useful activites, it is not worth the price-tag. The box is far too big for what it contains and there really isn't much in it. I was really dissapointed by this although again, there are some good uses/activites for it. Still, if I had been able to see it in a store, I would not have purchased it.

Just like Bill Hewlett and David Packard, Janie and Victor Tsao had a garage. "Everybody starts with a garage," Janie says. Hewlett and Packard's was a tinker's shed, a rustic hut that to this day whispers of science-fair projects and woodshop dreams. It's the epicenter of technology's sepia-tinged creation myth, the kind of place where you find a stone and brass monument naming it the "Birthplace of Silicon Valley." The Tsaos' garage, on the other hand, sits on a cul-de-sac in the Woodbridge section of Irvine, Calif.–the preplanned heart of Orange County–and dominates a khaki-colored house that faces a park dotted with bolted-down picnic tables. Framed by brick columns and a basketball-hoop crown, the garage speaks of SUVs, recycling bins, and home repair. It is an unexceptional place: mass market, suburban, retail. It is in this garage that, in 1988, Victor and Janie founded the company that would become Linksys, the computer peripheral company whose seven-year run on the Inc. 500 list culminated last spring with its purchase by Cisco Systems for $500 million. And if the Hewlett-Packard garage symbolizes the quintessence of an inventor's jolting inspiration, the Tsaos' garage signifies the other side of entrepreneurship, an immigrant story of hard work and calculated risks. THE ENTREPRENEURIAL CLOCK Two decades after emigrating from Taiwan, Janie and Victor Tsao have created, in Victor's words, a high-tech version of a "mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant," dividing the work in half and watching costs with the tight fist of someone who turns out the light on leaving a room. They are both tall and straightforward and they are steeped in the minutiae of their company, even now with 300 employees. They are frugal but not cheap (until recently they drove a 12-year-old car, but it was a Mercedes) and they are willing to let their company permeate their life to an incredible degree. "We never set up any systems or boundaries, like not talking about work at dinner," says Victor. Most important, they work hard and fast. They don't fancy themselves as inventors; they are popularizers of technology, which means any advantage they have in a price-slashing, commodity market that includes brutal competitors like NetGear and D-Link comes from making the right intuitive leaps, getting out new products a few weeks faster, keeping costs down, and negotiating tough. Like not a few business owners before them, the Tsaos heard the entrepreneurial clock ticking: They were determined to be independent before they reached the age of 40. Victor was 37 and Janie was 35 when they decided to put to use their familiarity with Taiwan (where they'd met at Tamkang University). They were both working in information technology–Janie at Carter Hawley Hale and Victor at Taco Bell–and with Victor a step higher on the corporate ladder they decided that he would continue to punch the clock while Janie launched the business, a consultancy they named DEW International. The new company mated American technology vendors like Northgate Computer with Taiwanese manufacturers that could make their wares cheaply. Soon, one of those manufacturers brought them an idea. At the time, the cables used to connect printers and PCs could extend only 15 feet before the data began to degrade. To solve this, the manufacturer invented a setup that used telephone wire to extend the reach to 100 feet. This company needed someone to market the thing in the U.S. "With companies like that," says Victor, "actual English was not their strength." The manufacturer came up with products that connected multiple PCs to multiple printers, and the Tsaos renamed their company Linksys. Victor quit his job in 1991, and within two years Linksys had moved twice, eventually to a 2,000-square-foot office, and each month was selling 8,000 Multishares, as those units were called, through tech catalogs like Black Box. In these early years, the Tsaos invested $7,000 in Linksys, the only capital the company required until it tapped a bank loan for the one and only time, in 2001. (They paid that loan off in less than six months.) Linksys slowly expanded from printer-to-PC connectors to PC-to-PC Ethernet hubs, cards, and cords, gear that let small businesses and nerdy households connect computers so that they could share data. It was a niche market, and with 1994 revenue of $6.5 million the company was far from a behemoth. But slow growth was the only way the Tsaos could expand without taking on debt or investors. While Victor managed operations and finances as CEO, Janie handled sales in her job as vice president of business development. As Mike Wagner, the company's director of marketing, puts it, "Janie brings the money in, Victor keeps everyone from spending it." Frugality and a focus on the future were obvious in the Tsaos early on. While taking M.B.A. classes at Pepperdine in the mid-'80s, Victor met Bob Klein, who recalls Victor telling him that someday he would move to Newport Coast, far tonier than Irvine. The Tsaos made that dream a reality in 1997. Klein and Victor's first business lunch occurred at the Japanese fast-food chain Yoshinoya–and they meet at comparable places to this day (though, Klein says, Victor has taken to picking up the check). Indeed, on the night the Cisco purchase was announced, there was no celebration. Instead, Victor ate a $5 dinner box at his desk. "It wasn't good at all," he admits. With the birth of Linksys, Victor took to working 100 hours a week, with occasional naps on the office floor. He involved himself in every part of the business, dealing with U.S. operations during the day and Taiwanese manufacturers at night, and his employees still know him for his 3 a.m. e-mails. He drew no salary until the mid-'90s–he refers to the preceding years as the "Linksys Peace Corp" era–while the couple and their two boys got by on Janie's salary of $2,000 a month. Linksys operated with comparable leanness. Calvin Liu, a designer who Victor calls "Mr. Linksys Look and Feel," first worked for the company as a freelancer in 1991. As it still does, Linksys produced its own graphics. Liu would photograph the products, scan the photos, send them to the printer, and later glue the labels to the product boxes. Linksys caught a crucial break in 1995. Until that point, tying computers together with Linksys gear required installing software. But when Microsoft moved from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, it built in networking functions. Suddenly it was simple for small offices and homes to operate networks. Instantly Linksys' potential market expanded. Janie attacked sales with tenacity. She went to the opening of a Fry's Electronics store and watched in fascination as customers with full shopping carts queued up a dozen deep at the cashiers. "That really opened my eyes to the potential of retail," she says. By 1995, Linksys was in Fry's and revenue almost doubled, to $10.7 million. Still, if catalogs like Black Box and regional chains like Fry's were good, national retailers were better. They promised the big score. The problem was that they were nearly impossible for a tiny company to crack. Janie wanted to get Linksys into Best Buy, but she called for months to no avail. Then, in April 1996, she attended RetailVision, a trade show intended to introduce manufacturers to retail buyers. Janie set her sights on Best Buy, and when she wasn't able to make contact with Best Buy's buyer–Wayne Inouye, now CEO of eMachines–at the scheduled sessions, she and a sales associate tracked him right to his hotel room door. They presented to Inouye right in his room and, amazingly, he ordered just under $2 million of gear. Janie kept cool until she made her way from Best Buy's offices to her rented car. Then, in a move that is difficult to imagine for this sensible, focused woman, she started to scream. NO SECRETS, NO GENIUS Revenue doubled to $21.5 million in 1996, then leapt to $32.1 million in 1997 and $65.6 million in 1998. Linksys moved its headquarters to a 20,000-square-foot office. But success did not lead to extravagance. To this day, Victor and Janie file vacation forms like anyone else and all new employees–even executives–must endure a 90-day waiting period for benefits. No one is allowed to work from home, with the exception of a small mobile sales force. "Victor and Janie are willing to let good talent walk away if they're not the right fit," says the company's human resources head, Niki Lee. "We could get the best VP of marketing out there and if Victor and Janie realize that he's not hands-on, he wants an admin [administrative assistant], and he only wants to give orders and not be in the trenches, then they just won't deal with it." Not surprisingly, this lean, fast, hard-working environment, coupled with a pay scale that in Lee's words is not "top dollar," leads to a young work force (average age: 27) and high annual revenue per employee (about $1.8 million per full-time employee, compared with about $560,000 for Cisco). More surprising is that annual turnover is only 5%, compared with an industry average of 9%, according to Mercer Human Resources Consulting. Glen McLaughlin, vice president of North American sales for Linksys, attributes this to a culture in which employees are allowed to run their own projects. "We'll give you enough rope to either hang yourself or be successful," he says. McLaughlin tells of Victor and Janie letting him switch from 15 regional to three national product distributors in 1996 even though they doubted his rationale. Other than e-mails from Victor demanding updates, they did not meddle. Luckily for McLaughlin, it worked. "Victor and Janie really like to see people execute," says Mike Wagner. "They're not afraid to weed people out." As home broadband Internet use began to bloom in the late '90s, at costs significantly higher than those for dial-up connections, Victor realized that people were going to want to hook all their small-office or home computers to one line. To do so they would need a router, a high-tech cord splitter allowing multiple computers to hook into one modem. These already existed–Cisco was making its living off them–but at $500 and up they were too expensive and complicated for a non-techie home. So Victor ordered up the product that proved to be the turning point for Linksys: a $199 four-port router that employed an easy browserlike program to lead people through installation. After introducing the product at a trade show in late 1999–the first sub-$300 consumer router to market by three months–Linksys exploded. The company's share of the networking market leapt from 10.8% in 1999 to 18.6% the following year, according to NPD TechWorld, an organization that tracks trends and consumer sales in the industry, and revenue went from $107.6 million to $206.5 million. "They invented consumer home networking," says Steve Baker, an NPD analyst. The introduction of the four-port broadband router was in perfect tune with Linksys' personality. The decision to go with it was based on intuition and listening to manufacturers, not drawn-out market studies. Liu handled the product design in-house, the price was cheap, and the technology was off-the-shelf. It was not a futurist's invention but an obvious technology made easy. "Everyone knew in the late '90s of the broadband explosion," Victor says. "It wasn't really a secret." "I won't say Victor has a vision for 10 years," says Liu. "But I think he has a vision for two, which gives you a good chance to be successful if you do the right things." With the industry's eyes on them, Janie and Victor had to keep running. Janie continued to sign up catalogs, distributors, and retailers (the list now runs from Amazon.com to Radio Shack). Victor kept introducing products around the four-port broadband router–products such as cards that allowed laptops to connect to routers–while he looked for the next big thing. He found it in wireless networking. The only thing better than letting people connect all their computers to one modem was to let them connect without a cord. In January 2001, several months after a wireless transmission standard called 802.11b (or, less clumsily, Wi-Fi) was finalized, Linksys launched a system of wireless routers and computer cards. Though Linksys wasn't first out of the gate this time, the brand was embedded in consumers' minds, and in 2001 Linksys revenue and market share jumped to $346.7 million and 34.2%, respectively. Again the Tsaos had capitalized on a known technology by introducing inexpensive products before most of their competitors. In that way, Victor makes his moves in the open, much as he plays basketball, his only hobby. According to Roger Bundy, his Taco Bell boss, Victor telegraphs his basketball shots with his eyes. "Shorter people could block him because he'd announce to the world that he was going to shoot," Bundy says. The difference here is that Linksys gets off the shot before its competitors get off the ground. Liu describes an instance last February when a Taiwanese manufacturer was in town. Victor asked him to come to a meeting at 10:30 on a Saturday night. The two men talked about a new design for a small-business product. The basics were decided that night–square instead of rectangular, gray and silver instead of blue and black–and by Monday the design was finalized. That's not unusual. Malachy Moynihan, the company's vice president for engineering, says Linksys and its Taiwanese partners were recently able to move a product from idea to production in three weeks. Sometimes Linksys even jumps ahead of itself. In fall 2002, while an industry board was finalizing a faster wireless standard called 802.11g, the Tsaos decided that they wanted to have 802.11g products in stores for Christmas, final standards be damned. After a September meeting with chipmaker Broadcom convinced them that users could easily upgrade the 802.11g chips with free software if the final standard changed, they plowed ahead. On December 24, Linksys launched its 802.11g products, beating its competitors by three months. It sold 300,000 units in the first two months. Again: no secrets, no particular genius. The company was fast, frugal, and right, as it had been before. Victor seems almost proud that his success is not built on something more spectacular. "There's not a lot of difference," he says. "We all went to business school or read books or listened to lectures. We all know we need to work hard, make sure capital is coming in, all these things. Execution is the key." Linksys now owns 49% of the networking market, and Glen McLaughlin says it is aiming for 70% by 2005. Because the brand is so well known, Linksys products fetch a $20 or $30 premium over competitors' wares. "Their dominance is unbelievable," says CompUSA buyer Doug Lane. Linksys hit revenue of $430.4 million in 2002, and Ehud Gelblum, a JP Morgan analyst, estimates the company will pull in $538 million for the fiscal year ending this June. But the Tsaos have never stopped sweating the small stuff. Victor still occasionally answers customer-support calls and Dan Sherman, the Cisco senior vice president who led Cisco's investigation of Linksys, was shocked when he brought up complaints he'd read on an Amazon.com message board and Victor not only knew the exact problems but had read the same board and responded to several of the posters. For her part, Janie continues to supply a straightforward approach to negotiating with retailers. CompUSA's Lane describes her sales force as "definitely not shy," and Todd Magnuson, a buyer at Best Buy, says, "The first time I met Janie, it was a short greeting and right into business. Very focused and very adamant on protecting their market share." She isn't all steel, though. "Janie impressed me because every year she would call at Christmastime and leave a holiday message," says John Herr, a former Buy.com buyer who had received plenty of holiday cards before but never a phone call from a company founder. "It was a nice personal touch." STILL DRIVEN Riding an essentially unbroken string of successes, the Tsaos weren't particularly eager to sell their company. But it was–of course–a practical matter. More than 90% of Linksys' revenue came from the U.S. and Canada, and the company didn't have the cash or the infrastructure to expand overseas. More important, Dell, HP, and Microsoft are all aiming for the market, and Victor felt certain that eventually somebody would try to crowd Linksys out. Victor met with bankers from CSFB to examine raising money with a public offering. CSFB instead suggested a sale, and Victor agreed to consider it. The attraction for Cisco Systems was obvious: With a huge share of big-business networking but no small-business and home-office products, Cisco was hungry for a retail company. Cisco contacted the Tsaos in fall 2002, and by March 2003 a deal had been announced. Cisco would pay $500 million in stock for the company, which, except for a small employee stock option plan, was owned by Janie, Victor, and their two sons. As part of the deal, the Tsaos agreed to stay on for two years and Cisco agreed to let the company remain a standalone unit, something it had never done in its 80 other acquisitions. "Going forward, their biggest risk is that they stop being Linksys and become Cisco," says NPD's Baker. Victor says he wants to quit if that happens, but so far little seems different. Except for six Cisco transplants, the executives are the same, and the decision-making speed remains that of a small company. Mike Wagner describes going to the company's new vice president general manager, a Cisco exec named Tushar Kothari, with plans for a $600,000 German ad campaign. "Within four days he had made the decision," Wagner says. "Maybe it's not one hour, but it's not six weeks. He's definitely got the spirit." Linksys has started to sell an 18-product collection of wireless networking devices, including a wireless router and a wireless adapter that lets people link televisions and stereos to a network so MP3 songs can be streamed from computer to stereo and chosen on TV. And Cisco has launched Linksys offices in China, India, Australia, Hungary, and Italy, and has made it possible, for the first time, for Linksys to advertise on national cable and broadcast television. As for Janie and Victor, they're traveling more to open new markets and Victor is saying he plans to retire in five years and maybe teach, a claim no one believes. "If there's a contest for the most boring couple in Orange County," says Janie, "I think Victor and I would win." Victor is now 52, Janie 50, and the company has been their life for 15 years. Victor says he has no significant regrets, except in one area: his children. His sons are now in college. Sometimes Victor managed to play basketball with his boys, but too often, quality time together took the form of the kids coming to the warehouse on Saturdays to help ship products. That's what 100-hour weeks will do. "From age 13 to 15, they just shot up, taller and taller," says Victor. "Whoa, what happened?" But the family tries. Victor started to delegate more two years ago, and he's down to about 70 hours a week. Last February he even found time to hook up a home network at his own house. The Tsaos have even taken a vacation. Last May the family took a car tour of the Grand Canyon. "For four days," Victor says. "The four of us just drove." Linksys' Irvine headquarters is a modest, two-story structure in a pedestrian-unfriendly office park where people walk in the street because there is a dearth of sidewalks. Desk-high scuffmarks circle the walls where temporary tables were erected at a time when workers had to cram two to a cubicle, before Linksys opened its new warehouse and call center in 2001. An ad hoc photography studio overlooks the old warehouse space, where overflow customer service reps were once housed in temporary heated tents. In the back, Janie sits in a windowless office unadorned save for four art prints and neat piles of manila folders. In the front, a temporary divider splits the office that Victor shares with Kothari. Wearing a monogrammed white button-down, Victor looks surprisingly lively–considering that less than 24 hours before, he and Janie had returned from a four-day trip to Taiwan. The trek had started after a sleepless night (he'd worked through until morning, with only a 20-minute break to pack) and came four days after he'd returned from another 10-day Asian excursion. Victor's dark office is as unadorned as Janie's, except for a burst packing box on the floor and an AARP cord taped to his monitor in a mocking gesture at age. Soon Cisco will move the headquarters to something grander. That suburban garage may become legendary yet. Sidebar: Be Patient For the Tsos, growth is central, rewards are for later. 1988 Revenue: $500,000 Employees: 3 Janie and Victor Tsao form DEW International, later to become Linksys, in their garage.

Mike Concannon makes it sound pretty straightforward when asked why he started offering more hot food at Concannon's Bakery and Cafe on Muncie's north side.
Ask Bassam Helwani the root of his success as a restaurateur, and you might be surprised when he brings up his earlier career as a computer guy who once started his own information technology company in Kansas City.
The Talking Pints guys trek to Savage's Ale House to look for the hard-to-find ales and bring them to you.
When the weather turns warm, I find myself craving the smell and taste of a great homemade burger off the grill.
Created by The BBQ Queens for the U.S. Potato Board
Pasta carbonara richly cheesy, creamy and studded with crisped pancetta is easily one of the most comforting of pasta dishes. The only trouble is, with the onset of warmer weather we tend to crave salads more than steaming bowls of pasta.
Hard-boiled eggs always seem to go to waste in my house.
More than 10 years after she first served up her barbecue to hungry festivalgoers, Linda Strange has turned what had been a hobby into a full-time career.
The pickle-on-a-stick at Joe-Joe's Sweets & Eats looked big as a miniature baseball bat.
It doesn't matter how skilled or not your kids are in the kitchen. This easy, fruity mousse parfait is a great Mother's Day project they can help with.
Sleep well tonight, folks. The future of American desserts is in good hands.
Warm weather when it finally arrives in East Central Indiana and sticks around prompts changes for restaurants. Diners often shift to a later eating schedule during the summer.
The Talking Pints guys descend into the hallowed catacombs of The Fickle Peach with Owner Chris Piche. Finding no Amontillado on hand, Chris gives a preview of great things to come available only at The Fickle Peach.
Sweet and smoky and spicy are three flavors that work wonderfully together, and this recipe for roasted chicken thighs is a fast, easy and delicious way to make that point.
Time for a confession. As a child, I never once celebrated Mother's Day. My parents thought the holiday was nothing more than a cheesy excuse to sell greeting cards, and who was I to argue?
No matter how unimpeachable whole-wheat pasta is in terms of nutritional cred, I've always found it off-putting.
Victor Carrillo laughed when I asked him how his westside Muncie restaurant, Victor's Gyros and Pancake House, could offer a menu that amounted to pages and pages of fine-print goodness.
For food from a truck, not to mention a truck named Slop on Top, it's mighty fine fare.
You shouldnt have any trouble finding food grade cedar planks. Most grocers sell them near the seafood and meats. If you buy them from a hardware store, be certain that they are untreated.
The Horizon Convention Center won top 'Taste' honors at Cornerstone Center for the Arts' 27th Annual 'A Taste of Muncie' event.
All of us fans of 'The Simpsons' remember when tavern owner Moe tried to turn his little hole in the wall bar into a family restaurant, bragging that the new establishment would appeal to customers who like 'a whole lot of crazy crap on the walls.'

Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace are having a demonstration.
This is to commemorate the anniversay of the start of war on Afghanistan.
They will start at the Placita Church area by Olvera Street. They will march to the Federal Building (which is near City Hall).
There will be a civil disobedience (however, I would guess that OccupyLA is not invited to participate in that aspect of it unless you get the training indicated in the flyer).
Their message aligns with OccupyLA: "Fund jobs and human needs, not war."
I'm an atheist, but like this group and have been to some events. They have been around for most of the 00s.

I would recommend -easy setup
By Assistant
from New York, NY
About Me Frequent User
Comments about HP LaserJet Pro M1536DNF Mono Multifunction Machine:
This printer is compact and less noisy than most.The scanner is excellent for a small machine and after you scan it shows you where your document is saved. My other printer I always had to search for the document. The copy quality is excellent as well as the printing of envelopes and stationary.The setup was easy including the fax setup,The price was right for the resolution as well as the quiteness of the machine.I would definitely recommend this machine for small offices and it does not take up your whole desk.

Good machine with minor faults
By A friend of Carly and Willow
from Mullica Hill
This machine, while advertised as print and copy duplex capable, will not copy duplex (a fluke with the instructions as well as the keyboard on the machine). So--if that is a show stopper for you, look elsewhere. Otherwise, this is a good bargain. My experience is as follows: copies are clear. The fax works well and instructions are easy to follow. The scan function is easy to use. Print is a no brainer, and reasonably fast.Prints only in black and white. So--if color is your bag, do not buy this machine. Cost per copy is reasonable--more so if you have been on the revolving door of ink-jet replacement cartriges in the past. As always--and I am not advertising for Staples, you will find them easy to deal with if for some reason you are not happy with the machine. I make this last comment because I was initially not happy with the lack of copy duplex and Staples was right there ready to offer a refund, or a replacement machine (no hassle, no issue). No that was easy (had to say it)!
Document feed breaks down
By Ruth Ann
from Charleston WV
About Me Heavy Duty User
The document feed is broken adn I cannot get it fix. It stillcopies and prints very well , but very inconvenient for faxes and multiple page copies
VERY Pleased
By Satisfied Buyer
from USA
Functions VERY WELL! Paper tray & catcher are flimsy ... but over all the printer if perfect for a small office or department printer! Full functionality works great & installed VERY easily on both XP Pro & 7 Pro.
Overall good quality, sturdy machine
This is an overall, good solid machine for anyone that wants black and white only. Set-up is easy, and operating instructions are clear and concise. One drawback: it doesn't copy duplex as HP advertised. It does print duplex. The manual clearly states it will copy duplex. The control panel clearly states it will copy duplex. I discussed this with HP as well as Staples. HP initially said the machine was supposed to copy duplex, and I spent about 2 hours over the course of two days trying to achieve a work around with HP technicians over the telephone. They also sent me several e-mails with different driver updates to fix the problem, but again--no solution. Then, one of their technicians tells me the printer was never meant to copy duplex and the manual, as well as the keyboard are clearly not correct. End of subject. The staff at Staples took an entirely different view on the matter. They reviewed the manual (in a manner of minutes), noted the manual clearly stated the machine was supposed to be equiped to copy duplex, had no idea why HP took the position they did, but Staples was glad to refund my money, or apply the purchase price as a credit towards another printer. The copy duplex matter is not a showstopper for me, but HP's position was a serious concern. Especially considering their attitude once they could not find a workaround to fixing the problem. I like the keyboard versus touchscreen keyboard controls. I'll admit I was ready to drop $500 for a touchscreen, color laserjet printer; however, after seeing the higher priced printer in action at the store, and the difficulty the clerks had in getting the system to operate, and even with the minor duplex issue that I experienced after my purchase with my printer, I am still happy with the printer I purchased. All in all, I am happy with my purchase.
Great Printer for exec offices
By Queen of Office Supplies
from Eugene OR
Printer is used daily but not heavily. It is perfect for our shipping dept to keep up with the printing load. Also our executives find it is a very reasonable product for their offices. We are able to use the same toner for multiple units and it is very handy to do so.
HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Printer
By Don Ralstin
from Soap Lake, Washington
I like the efficency and quickness of this printer. It prints a very sharp copy in black also does well printing envelopes. This printer is also capable of doing large jobs in a quiet and efficient manner.
A little slow for my use/but good value
By "Mike"
from Larchmont, NY
Good value for a home copier. Too slow, flimsy and noisy for office use.
overall pretty good
By PT Office
from PA
We use this product all day (10-12 hrs a day) for 5-6 days a week. It does everything- fax ,scan, print, copy- even 2 sided. We can fax remotely through it as well. We have had this product for about 2-3 years now before the fax wheel stopped working. We could still fax but you had to fax through the glass, one sheet at a time, which was not efficient for us. Since I was told that they could not fix the wheel, I went back and bought the same model. We now use the old one only as a printer and the new one has replaced it as the main fax machine. It is a hardy machine and takes alot of wear and tear in our office.

Storm Whips Up Acts Of Kindness In Northeast
This week's violent storm along the East Coast has left death, destruction and a long recovery ahead. But it also whipped up acts of kindness. A lot of people lucky enough to have power looped extension cords under their doors so that people could recharge their phones, the electronic lifelines that let friends and family know that they'd survived. A doctor in New York's East Village put out a sign to offer free medical care. Newark's mayor, Cory Booker, invited citizens over to use a vacant apartment in his building to relax, eat and get warm. The mayor sent a message over Twitter, quote, "Police have reported zero looting or crimes of opportunity in Newark. And ceaseless reports of acts of kindness abound everywhere." In New York, a dozen food trucks fanned out to deliver free dumplings, tacos, cupcakes and slices of thin-crust New York pizza to areas with no power, in which food was spoiled and scarce. David Weber, president of the New York City Food Trucks Association, which organized the efforts, says Queens' Rockaway Peninsula looked especially hard hit.
DAVID WEBER: We were getting reports back from trucks out there that it's just been devastated. People have lost their homes. And, you know, it was really meaningful for them that someone was out there to share what they could with them.
SIMON: They shared about 11,000 meals, and they'll do it again today, even traveling outside the city to reach people. Though David Weber says a lot of people longed for something almost as fundamental as hot food - hot water to wash.
WEBER: I think if someone had a mobile shower truck, they would be even more popular than a mobile food truck.
JOHN BURNETT, BYLINE: This weekend, many people from Maryland to Manhasset will probably witness their own acts of kindness. When the going gets tough, the truly tough are kind. This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Long, 34, was set to leave Northampton this summer and join their Premiership rivals Gloucester, but those hopes have been dashed due to the effects of a degenerative neck injury.
Long won two Test caps for England, making his debut in Clive Woodward's first game as head coach against Australia at Twickenham in 1997.
"I have achieved everything I wanted to achieve out of rugby," said Long, who also had spells with Bath, Munster, Rotherham and Newcastle.
"I've had 200 games of Premiership rugby and played for some great clubs who have all had magnificent supporters, and I am at peace with the fact I'm having to retire.
"That said, I had signed for Gloucester so I wanted my career to continue, but I'd been carrying an injury which was causing me a few problems towards the end of last season and the rehabilitation time from an operation would have meant that I would have been on the sidelines well into next season too."
Gilbert has released a new line of rugby cleats. The Gilbert Virtuo 8S is part of the exciting new product. Check it out.
