Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Anyone dreaming of an Oakland superintendency had better have their resumes polished and their references lined up. Tomorrow, at long last, the Oakland school board will tell the world that it's looking for a new leader. Officially.
About time, isn't it?
In the weeks to come Next week, there will be a series of community meetings to discuss the ideal qualities of Oakland Unified's next superintendent with search firm Ray and Associates. The dates were just posted today, for meetings next Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Not much notice, huh?
You can find a copy of the meeting dates and times here.
In the meantime, each board member taps someone special to serve on an advisory committee, which will interview the two or three finalists before the board does. I'll bet there's some healthy backstage politicking for those appointments.
Any nominations for OUSD's next boss?

Should You Give In To Her Ultimatums?
reader's questionHey Doc,
My problem is a little unusual. I'm looking to you for some good advice.
I was dating Samantha for about seven months before she had to go out of state to attend the best university business program in the country. (She was accepted before she even met me.) She said that if she'd met me beforehand, she would have accepted another offer she got that was closer to home, but as it is, she's going to be gone for a little over a year.
We've been doing the long-distance dating thing for about four months now and she's always talking about how she wants to marry me. As far as calling and e-mailing me, she is completely consistent. I fly to see her and she flies to see me once a month. Once she finishes the program, our goal is to go to graduate school in the same city. In other words, things are going fine between us, but I have two concerns about our relationship.
two little issues1- Samantha constantly asks me when we are going to get engaged. She says it in a joking way, but I know that she's serious. My question is, how should I respond? I'm completely in love with this girl and want to marry her, but what is the correct response to keep her Interest Level up? (Sometimes I joke that we should go to Las Vegas tomorrow. Other times I'll give her a more serious answer and say that we're headed in that direction. But I'm not sure that it would be the best idea to tie the knot so soon.)
2- Samantha cries at least twice a week when we're on the phone about how she wants me to pretty much drop everything right now and come and live with her. She tells me that I won't have to pay for anything, and that I can just live in her apartment. This week she took it a step further and gave me a sort of indirect ultimatum by telling me that she didn't know how she was going to deal with living apart from me for a whole year. "You need to move down here right now," she said. I found myself a little panic-stricken at the idea.
Doc, how should I respond to this pressure? Our plans for the future sound fine to me as they are: Samantha finishes her program and the two of us go to grad school together.
I tell her to relax about what's going on, but she insists that she misses me entirely too much to even concentrate on her work. I really hope you can help me here, Doc, before I do something stupid.
Keith — who doesn't know what he should do with her
doc love's answerHi Keith,
Let me start off by saying congratulations, man. I have to take my hat off to you — you've got Samantha exactly where you want her. Your goal should be to keep her right there.
Should he cave and move in with her?

Anticipating Obama's speech at West Point, David Brooks writes:
What's emerging appears to be something less than a comprehensive COIN strategy but more than a mere counter-terrorism strategy — shooting at terrorists with drones. It is a hybrid approach, and as we watch the president's speech Tuesday night, we'll all get to judge whether he has cut and pasted the different options into a coherent whole. It's not the troop levels that matter. What matters is how this war will be fought.
Some very smart people say that the administration's direction is already fatally flawed. There is no such thing as effective COIN-lite, they argue. All the pieces of a comprehensive strategy have to be done patiently and together because success depends on the way they magnify one another.
Others are concerned that there will be too much "exit strategy talk." Tom Ricks observes:
Perhaps most importantly, is his heart in it, and can he bring along a good portion of the American people, especially part of his base? Or is he gonna say we're giving it 12 months and then we're outta here? … If he uses the phrase "exit strategy," or dwells on the subject, then you'll know you're probably looking at a one-term president. In other words, file under "Jimmy Carter," not "Abe Lincoln."
All this, of course, is what comes from months of public agonizing and a sense that domestic politics, and domestic political advisers, had overtaken the process of developing a winning war strategy. In a feverish effort to keep the unplacatable Left placated, Obama runs the risk of making his own job — leading us to victory — more difficult.
This is obviously not a role he relishes nor a process he has excelled at. There are choices to be made: McChrystal or not, exit-strategy limited or not. It is excruciating to watch the White House try to please this and that constituency as if this were an ag bill. But as Donald Rumsfeld once said of the Army, we fight wars with the president we have. This president has a chance to — for once — put aside pedestrian domestic concerns and demonstrate he understands both the nature of our enemy and the requirements of fighting a self-described critical war. If he does that, the politics will sort themselves out. If not, he'll have far greater problems than keeping Nancy Pelosi happy.

La Tasca Tapas restaurant Arlington Hts il: Love La tasca
Absolutely love this Tapas restaurant. We have been going to La Tasca for past 16 years with boy friend (now Hubby), girls night out and for large group parties. The food has improved over the years tremendously. Some of our favorites are baby octopus, sun dried dated, herbed goat cheese, beef kebabs, calamari, paella, and of course the Sangria and Flan. We have introduced La Tasca to many others and never have had one complaint; in fact we bump into many of our friends on live band nights. La Tasca always has fun new item to try on the specials and my sister eating Gluten free will always be pleased on the Gluten free menu they offer. I also personally like Café Iberico when downtown but between driving from the burbs, valet, and all the commotion we frequent La Tasca much more. Iberico is really good when downtown, I wouldn't bother much on try any others. La Tasca is spectacular choice for tapas in the burbs and no brainer for anyone to try. YUMMY!
Dress Code: See people in suits and dresses but also in fun jeans and skirts
La Tasca tapas: Tastiest tapas
La Tasca tapas restaurant of Arlington Heights is the most highly acclaimed restaurants in Arlington Hts for the past 16 years. We believe that out of the half dozen tapas restaurants we have tried in Chicago land area that La Tasca is simply the one with most flavors and welcoming staff. The combination of quality of their tapas, festive and romantic atmosphere, and inviting menu selection make it the perfect place to eat and sample tapas and Sangrias. In fact many of the places we sampled in Madrid and along the southern coast of Spain were not as good as La Tasca…. But we were on a budget in Spain and went to tapas restaurants that probably run on tourist and not repeat diners. Some of our favorites that we like to mix up along with daily specials are CANALÓN FRÍO DE ATUN Pasta filled with yellow-fin tuna salad, asparagus, basil, red onions
and topped with a creamy white wine vinaigrette, PIMIENTOS ASADOS Fire-roasted, tri-color peppers with olive oil vinaigrette, PATATAS BRAVAS Fried potatoes with a creamy cayenne sauce, VERDURAS HUERTANAS Plate of grilled fresh vegetables drizzled with a fresh basil vinaigrette, PINCHO DE SOLOMILLO Grilled brochette of beef tenderloin, mushrooms and pearl onions, drizzled with a Spanish sour cream sauce over shoestring potatoes ,the YUMMY QUESO DE CABRA herbed goat cheese baked in a tomato basil sauce, served with tomato baguettes, CHAMPIÑONES RELLENOS Jumbo mushrooms stuffed with ground pork tenderloin with pine nuts, marinated in Spanish brandy CHULETAS DE CORDERO Grilled lamb chops brushed with herbed olive purée, PAELLA Fish and the best we have tasted… Silky FLAN. Their home made Sangria's rock and will knock your socks off, traditional red and mango are our favorite, but beware they go down easy but are strong with added gin, triple sec, brandy, etc… We attended a rehearsal dinner at La Tasca with what must have been over 100 people and the food and service was just as good as the two of us eating at one of the live band nights. Bravo and Ole La Tasca!
Dress Code: Dress to impress
La Tasca Tapas of Arlington Heights: Fantastic eats
La Tasca tapas Restaurant is simply the best tapas restaurants in IL period! The food is always concistant and very tasty tapas, the atmosphere is lively, comfortable, and clean. The staff make you feel like you are over for dinner like friends and company. The Sangria is flowing, special martinis are everywhere, layered coffee drinks and fantastic deserts on the tables. Patrons are jokeing and flirting and makeing friends all night long. They have bands, flamenco, salsa, wine tastings... Chicago mag in April said that La Tasca tapas restaurant is one of Chicogo's best and they were correct. The building must be a centruy old and the tapas experiance is over the top. Last time we were there we saw a famous Bulls player, and Judd Sirrot and Wayne Menmer the annoucer of the Chicago wolves. We met people that were from Barrington, Chicago, Gurnee, and from Weaton, they draw from all over. They have recieved many awrds on food from Phil Vatelle, Pat bruno, Daiely herald, A.O.L., City Search, etc.. Overall makes for a great tapas experance!!!! BRavo La Tasca of Arlington Heights, I hope you will be around for another ten years!
Dress Code: Dress to Impress, Casual elegance!
La Tasca: Tapas -- small portions of excellent foods
Danny and Peter bring the Spanish tradition of tapas to Arlington Heights. The tables have many plates to share your tapas with your friends. An excellent way to sample many different kinds of food! Choose many or bring lots of friends!

Figures can be described in this way: $(p, i)$.
For example, the red square has a $(p,i)$ of $(4,0)$, the grey triangle $(3,1)$, the green triangle $(5,0)$ and the blue shape $(6,4)$:
Each figure you produce will always enclose an area ($A$) of the square dotty paper.
The examples in the diagram have areas of $1$, $1 {1 \over 2}$, and $6$ sq units.
Do you agree?
Draw more figures; tabulate the information about their perimeter points ($p$), interior points ($i$) and their areas ($A$).

I'm havin' a beer reading your report tonight and thinking what a treat it is to read the writing of someone with passion. You are absolutely rockin' it dude! Travelling changes you fundamentally. I've been addicted to adventure travelling by backpack for 35 years and your mention of a $8.00 beach hut sent me back to Thailand, mid eighties. My passion is China, I've been probably 15-16 times now, I buy stuff to sell, send it home and just get off the beaten track. Hence my Shanghai to Lhasa or bust motto. It's coming soon, but not on my DL1000. Speaking of bikes, I've gotta think a DL650 VStrom would be great, super value, super reliable.... but I've settled on a GS800 for my next bike. Guest room is always open to travellers, the Great Lakes region has awesome riding!

Researchers from Boston University studied post-death brain samples from 85 people, ages 17 to 98, who had subjected themselves to repetitive mild traumatic brain injury such as concussions throughout their lives, comparing them to the brains of those without such a history (the control group).
The findings, recently published in the journal Brain, showed that nearly 80 percent of all the people with repetitive hits to the head showed evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition that results in gradual degradation of brain tissue.
This study lacks validity because it does not prove that "repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries" took place on the field. All it shows is that if you have routine severe head injuries in your life, you are more likely to develop CTE. Another problem I found with this study was the age range of the participants. Shouldn't there be a difference between a 17 year old brain and a 98 year old brain? And is that how all of the participants died--because of head trauma? The study seems invalid. There sample was only 85 brains, which is quite small in the research world.

Material from Team Observers.
In a country where the media is completely state-owned, this young Cuban blogger is extremely brave. In this post, she talks about the release of the Academy Award-winning German film, 'The Lives of Others'. Set in Communist East Germany in the mid-1980s, the film tells the story of a Stasi agent assigned to monitor an East-German playwright suspected of subversive intellectual pursuits. The film details the alarming efficiency of the East German snooping machinery, including bugs planted in apartments and around-the-clock monitoring of a suspect's private life.
But for Yoani, the film is not so much about 'the lives of others' as it is the lives of people she knows - as well as her own - in Castro's Cuba.
For the people who managed to see the film, Weisler (the Stasi spy) could just as well have been our 'Carlos' or 'Eric'. Weisler's way of tapping the telephone, perversely listening to private conversations; these are techniques that the Stasi share with our Interior Ministry
I realised a long time ago that the best way to avoid the secret service is to say everything you think and know aloud. Talk loudly. State your real name. Don't conceal anything, and spies' work gets pretty hard. Let's save them their long hours spent listening to secret recordings, the money spent on petrol getting them from A to B, and their long Internet searches for 'outspoken' voices."
It is also "the lives of us-chinese citizens"
I thought Yoani's posting was very courageous if - as she says - the film could be renamed "The Lives of Us". It was very chilling to think that she will almost certainly be targeted for writing this. I particularly liked her comment: "Talk loudly. State your real name." This is so true because it is often the silent ones who disappear first (easy targets). Keep up the good work!
This site is very good in as much as it reveals stories from people who are at the heart of the issue, not just those viewing from he safety of the sidelines.
Don't you think that the cuban government has other things to take care of? The US embargo is killing this country. For the cuban government, feeding his people comes first. Freedom of expression is a problem of rich coutries. And anyway, she's not in jail, is she?

Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal makes a speech during the congress of Turkey's Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Ankara September 30, 2012. REUTERS/Kayhan Ozer/Prime Minister's Press Office/Handout
GAZA CITY: The Hamas movement in Gaza expressed "deep regret" on Wednesday over a commentary aired by Syrian state television that criticised the group's leader Khaled Meshaal.
The remarks, broadcast on Syrian state television on Tuesday night, came after Meshaal attended a conference on Sunday of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development party, which has been a staunch of the Syrian opposition.
"We in the Hamas movement express our deep regret over the attacks and insults carried by Syrian state television against brother Khaled Meshaal, leader of the movement, and against the movement itself," the group said in a statement.
"The Hamas movement is bound to its people and its resistance and its rights, and distances itself from entering into any media polemic," it said.
"It will remain with the Arab and Islamic nation, and with the aspirations of its peoples for freedom, dignity and democracy."
The unprecedented Syrian television diatribe against Meshaal, delivered by a news presenter, accused him of having "sold out the Palestinian resistance" and "forgotten Jerusalem" in exchange for "promises of normalisation with the Zionist enemy and the US administration."
"Syria is content to have been abandoned by those who sold the resistance out for power," the presenter said, recalling that Damascus had offered Meshaal refuge when other regional powers were not willing to provide him with a base.
Hamas has found itself in an increasingly sensitive position as Syrian rebels battle troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
Syrian members of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, from which Hamas sprung, were among the first to participate when protests erupted against Assad's rule in March last year.
As peaceful demonstrations turned into all-out war between armed rebels and the regime, Hamas quietly moved its offices from Syria, evacuating most of its members, while publicly denying it had shifted its headquarters.
It tried to walk a careful line, expressing support for the Syrian people, while declining to publicly criticise the Assad regime, once one of its strongest allies.
But in Turkey on Sunday, Meshaal appeared to offer public support for the uprising.
"We salute the revolution of the Syrian people for freedom and democracy," he said during the meeting of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Justice and Development party.
"We are with the aspiration of the people for freedom, justice, democracy, dignity and real independence," Meshaal added.

This is a picture of our family room. It originally had white painted walls and a bare beat up hardwood floor.
We got a good deal on some navy blue carpeting and we were trying to figure out what color to paint the walls. After wandering around a local paint store for the better part of an hour we settled on this 'fresh green' color.

Pigliaru, Francesco (1996) Economia del turismo: note sulla crescita, qualità ambientale e sostenibilità. Working Paper. CRENoS.
Official URL: http://www.crenos.it/working/pdf/96-12.pdf
We analyse some key problems facing a small country for whom specialisation in nature-based tourism is an available option, and who aims at maximising non-resident tourists' total expenditure. We discuss and develop some of the main results of the thin economic literature on the topic. As for growth prospects associated with specialisation in tourism, we find that few plausible changes in assumptions generate more favourable results than those previously known in the literature. Then we turn to the impact of tourism development on the quality of the resource. We show that, since in the tourism case the exhaustible components of the latter are characterised by a quality-quantity trade-off, a specific economic incentive exists such that the optimal rate of exploitation is more conservative than in the case of traditional natural resources. Finally, we briefly discuss problems of sustainability as well as some specific market failures in the presence of non homotheticity and of strong exogenous seasonality in demand patterns. We conclude that even though potentially the economic consequences of specialisation in tourism are promising ones, market solutions implying unsustainable economic exploitation of the natural resource are likely.

It seems like every election cycle brings with it a growing interest in the mathematics of elections. Whether it is due to an increased effort among mathematicians to sell our field, an increased use of mathematics and statistics by political scientists, or the presence of strong third party candidates in three of the last four elections (not to mention those hanging chads...), it seems to me that accounts of Arrow's Theorem and similar results have been showing up with increasing frequency in colloquium talks for students, articles in the newspaper (not to mention MAA Online), as well as in textbooks for math courses aimed at humanities students. When you also throw in the large number of articles about the Bowl Championship Series and related issues in sports, it becomes clear that there is a growing interest in the mathematics of voting systems, also known as social choice theory.
However, until recently there has been a problem facing mathematicians who are interested in learning about this field. While there are lots of short expository articles which give you a flavor of the field (I particularly enjoyed Dana Mackenzie's article in Discover magazine in November of 2000), and lots of research papers which go into many technical details but do not give significant background information or an overview of the field, there has been a lack of much in the middle. If you wanted a book that started at the first step and went through a detailed treatment of the mathematics, there were not very many choices, and many of those choices were in the Political Science or Economics literature and did not do as much justice to the mathematics as many mathematicians would like. I am pleased to say that this is no longer the case, as Alan D. Taylor's recently released Social Choice and the Mathematics of Manipulation fits this bill perfectly.
Make no mistake about it — this is a serious math book, which develops things in a serious way. I started reading this book in bed, and quickly found that I needed to be sitting at my desk scribbling notes to keep track of all of the definitions and notation to follow his development of the material. But if you put the energy into the book, it pays off, as Taylor gives an excellent overview of the field of voting theory. He begins with a chapter filled with motivating examples and a small amount of history before diving right into a description of Arrow's Theorem, which (roughly) says that in an election between three or more candidates there is no voting system which satisfies a handful of nice properties. The final section of the first chapter gives the details for twenty different possible rules for a voting system, including the unanimity rule (an option has to be everyone's first choice — or tied for their first choice — to win), the dictator rule (in which a single person's first choice wins regardless of what anybody else wants), the antidictator rule (where a single voter's last choice wins), the plurality rule, and sixteen others. He also lists in detail six properties that we may want a voting rule to satisfy (including anonymity, which the dictatorship and antidictatorship certainly fail, and neutrality, for example).
The second chapter introduces the notion of manipulability and set preferences. We would all agree that honesty is the best policy, and therefore that we would like a voting system in which it is never to your advantage to lie about who your preferred candidate is in order to get a more desirable outcome. [Insert snarky comment about people who voted for Nader in 2000 here.] In the second chapter of his book, Taylor makes these notions more precise, discussing concepts such as single-winner manipulability, manipulability by optimists or pessimists, and agenda manipulability. The third chapter of the book continues the discussion of manipulabilty by giving a detailed treatment of the Gibbard-Satterthwaite Theorem, which was established independently by a philosopher (Gibbard) and an economist (Satterthwaite) in the 1970s and which says (again very roughly) that the only non-manipulable voting schemes are dictatorships.
This ends the first part of the book, all of which is very accessible. Taylor litters the first half of the book with many exercises, some of which are computational, while others are more theoretical. These exercises, along with the thorough yet accessible treatment of the subject material, would make this book very useful as a textbook in a course on these theories, perhaps taught jointly with a political science department. The second part of the book gets even more technical, and would likely be much more difficult for a non-mathematician to follow. Chapter Four looks at the situation where the outcome of an election is no longer a single winner but instead may be a set of winners. While Taylor does not discuss how this would work in real life — this reviewer cannot help but think of Saturday Night Live's 'Presidential Odd Couple' skit from November of 2000 — he does discuss some interesting generalizations of the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem and similar results. There is also a nice section which discusses expected utility results in the context of non-resolute voting systems, and how voters might choose to prefer certain sets of winners over other sets of winers, depending on the tie-breaking procedures.
The fifth chapter of the book delves deeper into the idea of social choice functions — that is, a scenario where out of a given set of preferences we want to determine not a winner (or set of winners) but rather a way of choosing a winner (or set of winners) from any nonempty subset of the original collection of choices. Again, we are concerned with which methods for determining a social choice function are manipulable, and more specifically what it even means for these to be manipulable. The final chapter in part two moves into the realm of the infinite, and asks what we can say if there are either an infinite number of voters or an infinite number of candidates on the ballot, a scenario approximated by the 2003 California Gubernatorial race, though Taylor does not prove the conjecture that these scenarios will always lead to movie stars getting elected. Instead, he focuses on results such as an infinite version of Arrow's Theorem and the Gibbard-Satterthwaite Theorem, which requires introducing the concept of ultrafilters — collections of subsets which have certain nice properties that imply nice properties of the related social welfare functions — to make them precise.
The third part of the book consists of three more technical chapters on a variety of results which are interesting, though not as integral to the cohesive narrative throughout the rest of the book. These sections read much more as though they are excerpts from papers in the literature of the field, and in the final chapter of the book, the author changes the very definition of what elections look like, considering situations such as approval voting and quota systems. It is hard to imagine using these later chapters in a course, but they make for very interesting reading, at the level of articles in American Mathematical Monthly — highly readable, yet technical enough that they require real thought rather than just skimming through the results.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Social Choice and the Mathematics of Manipulation. Several times while reading it, I would find myself popping over to visit my colleagues in the Political Science department, as I was eager to hear their thoughts on these subjects to learn about the field from their perspective. However, full disclosure forces me to note that when I showed Taylor's book to one of these colleagues, he recoiled in fear upon seeing some of the technical mathematics contained even early on in the book. So there is little doubt in my mind that this is a book for mathematicians, or at the very least people who are mathematically inclined. But for those of us who are mathematically inclined (which I imagine is true of most perusers of MAA Online) and wish to learn some of the serious mathematics happening in the field of political science, Taylor's book provides a great introduction.

Former Vogue editors Meredith Melling Burke and Valerie Boster, who appeared at a party for the Fendi Baguette's 15th anniversary, have started their own company, La Marque, which will provide fashion clients with styling, creative direction. Vogue via Pinterest
The UpTake: If you leave Vogue, the fashion industry will ask, "but, why?" perhaps more than once and definitely with feeling. But for Meredith Melling Burke and Valerie Boster, the answer was simple: they wanted to be entrepreneurs, and they saw a big opportunity to use what they learned at one of fashion's most-coveted gigs.
Although the women are keeping friendly ties with Vogue (such ties will surely benefit their clients), the intersection of content and commerce is an arena where the competition—indirect anyway— includes Vogue owner Condé Nast. Late last year, the publishing company (which like Upstart Business Journal parent American City Business Journals is owned by Advance Publications) announced that it was launching a new online shopping division led by Fran Zayan, who headed up e-commerce activities at Paris' department store destination Galeries Lafayette.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

- How to Read a Study Record
Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is a health problem that continues to have a poor prognosis. The positive impact of chemotherapy is limited by the developed of intrinsic and acquired resistance, manifested clinically by progression early and transient responses. Current chemotherapy regimens have limited efficacy, with a modest benefit in terms of survival and leads to significant toxicity resulting in many patients can not receive this treatment, even in the context of firstling therapy. Therefore, there is great need to provide patients with less toxic agents, including novel targeted therapies with the potential to improve efficacy and maintain good quality of life with low toxicity.
BIBW 2992, an irreversible inhibitor of receptor Epidermal growth factor type 1/2 (EGFR/HER2) has shown benefit as a single agent in pretreated patients who have progressed despite platinum-based chemotherapy with minimal toxicity. BIBW 2992 is also currently (EGFR), with promising preliminary results of efficacy. In a phase II arm used BIBW 2992 in patients with lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutations, shows evidence of a definitive clinical benefit provided by the irreversible EGFR inhibitor BIBW 2992 in patients with NSCLC.

All patients will receive: BIBW 2992 50mg every 24 hours orally, where a cycle corresponds to complete this treatment for 28 days; option 40mg/day dose reductions and 30mg/day, according to established criteria.
Not to be compared with any other drug.
Other Name: Afatinib
Detailed Description:
This protocol will be proposed as a Phase II controlled trial, integrating a group of Mexican collaborative research of lung cancer. Whit this protocol, we hope to offer the possibility of access to treatment with BIBW2992 to patients who could benefit from this treatment, during the regulatory review process and before the license is granted BIBW 2992 in Mexico.
In a study extended use that is currently recruiting (BIBW 2992) investigates the response rate and safety data BIBW 2992 in approximately 80 patients who progressed to cytotoxic chemotherapy and EGFR inhibitors, recruited from Instituto Nacional de Cancerología.
The propose of this study is analyze in Mexican patients the response rate and safety data and provide this treatment after failure of first line platinum-based chemotherapy or without treatment only as a second line EGFR inhibitor therapy and will report independently to the study of extended use, adding to prognostic analysis of K-Ras mutations and EGFR and number of copies of HER2 by FISH.

Hey guys, I just want so show you that I´m still working on the mod. The reason for not uploading screens or something similar is only that I don´t want to do.
I´m finally able to create my own textures so I can customise nearly everything now. And so I do: The are currently a few new entitys and environment objects like walls, cellings, floors, etc.
And were will be defnetly more, like new monsters (two at least), new characters, much more stuff and so on.
I konw it sounds like I want a bit too much but I don´t want to create a half-heart mod, just because I don´t have enough endurance for it. Although I like programming and stuff like that it is quite sad that I have to create nearly everything by my own. But I´ll take it if I have to because, as I said, I will finish this mod, with or without help!
So thats it for now and like always: have a nice week ;)

maps look very big i am sure this will be a heavy full conversion hope pc can handle cuz lag will really spoil the fun anyway looks awsome im tracking this 1 4 shure
Look on the screenshots.
I hope you have a good computer or else you're computer will be lol'd
when you're playing.
Dual core AMD and Nvidea 8800 GT haden´t any problems whith the mod yet.
Besides I try to save resources as good as I can.
i understand but it will be a disappointing if you dont add some details around the level. but that will trigger the lag around big levels
And because that, I will release a demo half way. If too many lags are in one map for example you can tell me and I´m able to fix it.
where is the donwload link?

Would you send a random guy a picture of your Vagina?
What's up with girls sending random guys a picture of their p****? I don't get it. WTF. These random guys could be freaks or pedophiles. Why do girls... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I don't get it. It crosses a line for me to send that type of pictures to anyone. Yeah, I wouldn't want some random freak my pictures, or any pictures for that. I don't know why girls do it, maybe because that's some sad effort on their part to feel hot, that another male human being finds them attractive (*sigh*) and I'm sure you know why guys like it.
What Guys Said 10
I used to waste a lot of time and money on those sex dating sites. Seeing nothing but boobs and snatch gets boring in a hurry. For one thing, who is to say the pic actually shows off her real stuff? Lots of fakers out there, met a bunch of them too.
You want to impress me? Show me everything with your face, not just your genitalia. In fact, you don't have to show me any nudes. Men are born with the ability to peel a woman's clothes off with our eyeballs so a nude is not required. How else do you think we came up with computer graphics? Hahaha.
Don't think I'm just picking on women. Men are equally bad about pics of their shlongs than pics of their face.
I would think freaks and pedophiles probably enjoy p**** as much as anyone else. The girls could have many different reasons, maybe they get turned on seeing the guys reaction. Maybe they would like the guy too send them back a similar pic. Why do you care what other people are doing? I can understand if you don't want to do it, but why would you want to urge others not too? And finally, yes most guys would probably enjoy receiving a pic.
Because (if they're under 18) they want their 'boyfriends' to be arrested on possession of child porn and be classified a sex offender.
Ok probably not, but that's what can (and does/has) happen. My brother is a high school teacher and 'caught' a guy with 'indecent' pictures on his phone of his 'girlfriend'. There was a big sit down with the both kids and their parents, and also the police. They explained the law to him (both pictures and age of consent, as she was 15), but also showed him (with a different phone) how even if he deletes the file, savvy tech people can restore it. (This was important, because it was to show how if he deleted it and sold /gave away the phone, others could get the pictures back).
He was lucky in that the police used a bit of discretion and thought a bit laterally, but as I wrote, some people have been arrested for it.
So, if you're a girl and you're into this, realise the risk you're putting your Boyfriend in.
well, I'm a guy, and I honestly wouldn't like it, I have a girlfriend, we have fun, If a random girl sent me one of those pictues I would instantly delete it, I think it would be disrespectful to keep pictures of other girls while going out with someone who you have strong feelings for. Even if your not in a relationship, I find that kinda gross. so, yeah, I'm a guy, and I wouldn't like it.
What Girls Said 9
Not a chance of it ever happening.
Why not, random person or total stranger.
What can go wrong?
@turbosrbin I'm not sure if you being serious or sarcastic.
I would send a random guy a random picture of a random vagina - as long as it wasn't my own.
Why, what is wrong with yours?
- Show Older Hide Older
*sigh* If you guys got a pic of my perfect vag - it would ruin all vags for you. It's like the Holy Grail of vags, you know. ; p
Hahahahaha.... now I gotta see
i think that's insane and gross. most girls nowadays have no class and don't respect their body and just want to show it off to anyone and everyone to make them feel good about themselves.
i can't see how that would honestly make them happy because their just messing themselves up in the long run.
No I would not ever send random guy pictures of my vagina! Any decent guy probably wouldn't be too impressed with girls that do that any ways? Some girls do it because it's the only way they know of keeping a guy interested or the only way they know to get male attention. I usually imagine the sort of girls that do this to be imature, desperate and under the illusion that the men will fall for them if they give the them what they want. I can't believe these girls honestly think that all guys want is sex!There's a lot more to guys than sex. Maybe those girls will never realise that though, because they will only ever be seen and used as a sex object if that's the only way they know of communicating with guys. They will just end up being F***ed then dumped, over and over! Don't blame the guys for encouraging it either they must think the girls who do it are so dumb and no doubt, ultimately easy!. Yes it probably does keep the guy interested for a while, but what guy would seriously want anything other than sex with a girl that was willing to show all before they even met and knowing that she has more than likely sent these pictures to lots of other men, just to get a cheap ego boost that means nothing! Its sad.
Have an opinion?

Photographer Ben Roberts explores the secret spaces of London's Occupy movement
The Occupy Protests which started in NYC and spread around the world are remembered as a socio-economic snapping of patience, when people's anger with the way of the world boiled over in a visceral, bitter and noisy few months. But photographer Ben Roberts' Occupied Spaces series takes a different tack, focussing on tents used by the protestors at the two London sites by St Paul's and in Finsbury Square. Devoid of people we are left to take in the prosaic details, the quiet behind-the-scenes worlds away from the mainstream media's incessant glare. But they also make you wonder where everyone is, and the mind starts to make certain assumptions in line with your views on the movement.
Ben was inspired to make the series after sneering press reports based on controversial thermo images suggested the majority of the tents were empty, leading many to dismiss those taking part as fair-weather f**k-the-system types. By deliberately removing people from the shots, Ben is making his point in a mischievously tangential way.
The pictures have also been collected together into a really nice publication, with an essay by Naomi Colvin contextualising but not overshadowing the project.

Your brand is more than your logo. In fact, customers view brands through three distinct lenses – verbal, visual and experiential.
Your logo and the broader look and feel of your brand identity certainly drive a customer's visual interpretation of your brand. How they are treated when engaging with your brand drives their experiential impression of your brand. That leaves the verbal lens, which is all about your brand's spoken and written voice.
Ever wonder why some small businesses become powerful brands and others stagnate? Often, it comes down to brand personality, or lack thereof.
Take ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's, whose owners founded the company on the principle of "If it's not fun, why do it?" That brand personality resonates both inside and outside the company. Employees have fun at work and that sense of enjoyment permeates to the outside world as well. Known for fun flavors like Cherry Garcia, named for the Grateful Dead front man Jerry Garcia, the brand now promotes a controversial flavor of the month, such as Imagine Whirled Peace, What a Cluster, and Karmel Sutra.

Saint Leo, Fla. (September 23, 2006) – Asmir Pervan (Sr., Simmern, Germany) scored two goals and added the game-winning assist, as the Saint Leo University men's soccer team (5-4, 1-1 SSC) came away with a hard fought 3-2 win over conference rival Tampa (5-5, 1-3 SSC) on Saturday night.
Saint Leo senior forward Brandon Jones (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) scored his first goal of the season in the 67th minute, which proved to be the eventual game-winner, as Tampa closed to within one goal twice in the match but could never pull even with the Lions.
Pervan scored both of his goals in the first half, as he opened the scoring in the 20th minute firing home his own rebound. He then doubled the SLU lead just four minutes later when a through ball from Brandon Whitsett (Jr., Palm Harbor, Fla.) put him in a footrace with UT goalkeeper Ryan Thompson. Pervan got to the ball first midway inside the Tampa half and hit a shot that sailed into the empty net for his eighth goal of the season.
Tampa battled back in the second half and made it a one-goal game in the 52nd minute when Ricardo Cardoso deflected a Ryan Vetzel shot beyond Lions' goalkeeper Sam Luedke (Jr., Deltona, Fla.).
Saint Leo restored its two-goal lead in the 67th minute with Jones' strike, which turned into the eventual game-winner. The striker got on the end of a brilliant ball from Pervan and took a touch before unleashing a drive beyond the reach of Thompson for a 3-1 lead.
The Spartans pulled within a goal again in the 80th minute to make it a frantic finish, but SLU held on for all three points and its first win in the SSC this season.
Saint Leo will continue its SSC schedule on Wednesday night with a trip to Winter Park, Fla. and a match against Rollins College. The game will kick-off at 7:00 p.m. and will be broadcast live on the Internet via the SLU Athletics Audiocast Network.

Another cracking wine from Mount Majura, this time a blend of Tempranillo (56%) Shiraz (31%) Graciano (13%) aged in older wood. I haven't seen a lot of Graciano aorund, I'd be interested in seeing what else is being done with this variety here. These kind of blends are really showing potential in Australia, and the resulting show a bit of Spain, a bit of France, but show through very much as Australian. Putting an Aussie stamp on Tempranillo can only be a good thing.
The photos might be a little wierd for the next couple of posts, I've upgraded a much more complicated and capable camera (a Canon 7D). However, my skill level still leaves a lot to be desired!
A good robust nose full of cherries and plums,`earthy notes, a little herb and pepper action. Soft and gentle in terms of texture, but the flavour profile is robust. More of that cherry and plum, a little liqorice, some cola notes and black pepper. It's an open weave kind of wine, easy to drink but highly enjoyable. Excellent value too. 89 Pts.

About Us
Infection Control
A healthcare-associated infection (HAI) is usually related to a procedure or treatment used to diagnose or treat a patient's initial illness or injury, which appears between two and four days after a patient is admitted.
Hays Medical Center strives to improve its quality of clinical care by carrying out ongoing surveillance and monitoring of infection in seven major areas related to healthcare associated infections. These include central line infections, surgical site infections, respiratory infections, blood stream infections, urinary tract infections and Clostridium difficile infections and MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) related infections.
Not all infections can be eliminated, but many can be prevented through good medical and nursing care. HaysMed emphasizes good hand hygiene and the use of gloves and other personal protective equipment. In addition HaysMed employees are required to have a flu shot every year and be updated with all vaccinations.
MRSA Infections
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium responsible for several difficult to treat infections in humans. It may also be called multidrug-resistant staphylococcus aureus or oxacillin-reistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA). MRSA is especially troublesome in hospitals where patients with open wounds, invasive devices and weakened immune systems are at greater risk of infection than the general public.
Prevention of MRSA includes; screening of patients upon admission, surface sanitizing of hospital equipment and examination rooms, appropriate hand washing by healthcare workers and caregivers, isolation of MRSA cases and restricting antibiotic use to prevent resistance.
Blood Stream Infections
Bacteria can enter the bloodstream as a severe complication of infections.
In the hospital, indwelling catheters are a frequent cause of bacteremia and subsequent nosocomial infections because they provide a means by which bacteria found on the skin can enter the bloodstream. Other causes include; urinary tract infections, clostridium difficile colitis, dental procedures, herpes infections, intravenous drug use and surgery involving mucus membranes.
Treatment is with antibiotics and prevention with antibiotic prophylaxis can be given in situations where problems are to be expected.
Clostridium-difficille(C-diff) Infections:
Acquisition of Clostridium.difficile occurs by oral ingestion of spores that resist the acidity of the stomach. These spores germinate into vegetative bacteria in the small intestine and result in severe diarrhea and colitis. These spores persist in the environment for many months and are highly resistant to cleaning and disinfection measures. The two major reservoirs of Clostridium-difficile in healthcare settings are infected humans and inanimate objects. Clostridum-difficile can also be obtained by over use of antibiotics that destroy the good flora as well as the bad flora of the intestines. Transmission occurs via a fecal-oral route, so any activity that may result in movement of the organism into the mouth must be addressed.
Prevention of C-diff infections at HaysMed is surface sanitizing of hospital equipment and patient rooms, appropriate hand washing with soap and water, isolation of C-diff patients and restricting antibiotic use.
Surgical site infections:
The CDC bench mark for health care-associated surgical site infections is 2% monthly. This means that 2% of all in-patients will get an infection at the site of surgery every month. Hays Med is below the bench mark of 2% every month.
Surgical site infections are prevented at HaysMed by good hand washing with soap and water or the cleaning of hands with our hand gels, good housekeeping, aseptic technique in the operating rooms and proper use of antibiotics.
Respiratory infections:
Respiratory tract infection refers to any of a number of infectious diseases involving the respiratory tract. An infection of this type is normally further classified as an upper respiratory tract infection (URI or URTI) or a lower respiratory tract infection (LRI or LRTI). Lower respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, tend to be far more serious conditions than upper respiratory infections, such as the common cold.
Our respiratory infection rate at HaysMed is very low (0-0.5) %. Not all respiratory infections can be eliminated, but many can be prevented by good hand washing, ambulating patients as soon as possible and other good nursing cares.
Catheter associated urinary tract infections:
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs in someone who has a tube (called a catheter) in place to drain urine from the body. If a urinary catheter is left in place for a long time, bacteria will grow in it. A harmful infection may occur if the number of bacteria becomes large or if specific harmful bacteria grow in the urinary tract.
Catheter associated urinary tract infections can be prevented by good hand washing, aseptic technique with the insertion of the Foley catheter, use of gloves, early ambulation and good medical and nursing care of the patient.
Catheter associated urinary tract infections have decreased considerably over the past year at HaysMed.

Nokia's Bizarre New Ad Is Freaking People Out
Harry Potter meets Sweeney Todd meets The Addams Family. Still want a Nokia tablet?
To promote its new Lumia 2520 tablet, Nokia pulled out all stops and went hundreds of shades of, er, creepy.
Its bizarre new commercial revolves around the concept of the mullet hairstyle: business in the front, party in the back. Work and play in a single tablet. Get it? This concept could have worked had the ad's execution not been so weird. It is set to an out-of-place Harry Potter-esque background score with an air of both Sweeney Todd and The Addams Family. The ad has more than a few people scratching their heads:
Why is Nokia promoting its tablet in such a strange way? The company is soon to be subsumed into Microsoft, so it's not clear what benefits it gets from accruing sales of the product en masse—which ad campaigns are, of course, all about. But the ad does establish the Nokia tablet as unusual in a market full of extremely similar, and thus boringly unsurprising devices. Nokia may be attempting to give its brand some identity in an attempt to ensure it sticks in people's minds when Microsoft takes over. This ad certainly has people buzzing, but perhaps for all the wrong reasons.

What the hell??
The worst part of the ad is that the haircut is not even a mullet. Perhaps a bad 80s hairband style. But it's not a mullet.
The fingernails are creepygross. The tennis outfit is utterly confusing. Otherwise the manic tendency of the ad certainly does capture my curiosity.
Oh my gawd! That ad was BRILLIANT! I'm not even joking. I laughed hard, and was intrigued by the characters... ads are supposed to get your attention, and this succeeds very well. The only thing that's going to hurt sales is the fact that it runs Windows, not Android.
It's just a bad ad...plain and simple.
a few years later....
Love it!
What the hell was that lol they've just dug a hole they're not coming out of any time soon, apps and gadgets are about relevance now they went back in time. Good Night Nokia
What did I just watch?
