TEAMS: New York Yankees
So the Alex Rodriguez saga continues, but no one can seem to find him? Alex Rodriguez – Yankee Stadium. Well according Bill Maddon of the New York Daily News : "The latest word on Alex Rodriguez, wherever he is, is that he's scared. Not scared because of all these revelations about his involvement with an associate named Tony Bosch, an alleged dispenser of HGH and testosterone creams in South Florida, who has also gone underground. But afraid that all these damaging stories might be part of some sort of conspiracy by greater powers (MLB? The Yankees?) to torpedo his career once and for all." This theory comes as no shocker, as I alluded to this idea a week ago in Are the New York Yankees justifying their own agenda regarding Alex Rodriguez It is no big secret that the Yankees owe A-rod $114 million over the next five seasons, and you can be sure that penny-pinching Hal Steinbrenner is sweating at night because of it. The Yankee brass would love to weasel their way out of A-rod's c...

Cabo Roig, Costa Blanca, Spain, is a magnificent beach resort with huge appeal for luxury, active and adventure holidays. Ideally situated in the South of Spain, Cabo Roig is an exclusive destination, away from the main crowds of the Costa Blanca. It is an exclusive resort with broad avenues, palm trees and elaborate gardens, often referred to as the 'jewel of the Costa Blanca'.
The two main beaches of Cabo Roig, Cala Caleta and Cala Capitan are beautiful clean, well-maintained sandy beaches. From the ever-popular beach bar of Cala Caleta, the La Zenia cliff walk offers spectacular panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast.
There are three 18 hole championship golf courses within 10 minutes of any Cabo Roig villa rental. Vilamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor golf courses are very popular throughout the year, but it is easy to fit in a round from your Costa Blanca holiday.
Cabo Roig has been singled out by the World Health Council as the healthiest place to holiday due to the dry climate and exquisite health spas.
The Cabo Roig Club Nautico is an exclusive marina at the bottom of the Cabo Roig cape, where sailing, windsurfing and boat hire are available. Lessons for people of all abilities and experience or equipment hire are available from the marina and along the beaches. Scuba diving is a hugely popular activity from Cabo Roig holiday rentals, and there are PADI courses and dive centres providing trips for wreck diving, marine reserves and night dives from Playa Flamenca.
Cabo Roig offers a huge range of facilities and amenities including a theme park, two water parks, theatres, cinemas, a bowling alley, night markets and a large range of water sports.
Alicante, Elche, Torrevieja, Orihuela, Murcia and Cartegena are all close by along the coast, within walking or a short drive from a Cabo Roig townhouse.
Torrevieja is a short walk along the promenade from your holiday rental villa in Cabo Roig, which will take you past the beautiful beaches of Playa Flamenca and La Zenia.
The sporting complex of La Manga Club is slightly further along the coast, and defiantly worth visiting for any sporting whims you develop whilst on holiday in a Cabo Roig villa!
Taking a Cabo Roig holiday villa will almost certainly expose you to magnificent weather. With a yearly average temperature of 20°C, and over 300 days of sunshine every year. Experienced sunbathers flock to the beaches of Cabo Roig during July and August when the temperatures can soar to over 40°C, whilst those who like it slightly cooler enjoy the months of May and October. Winter does not ruin the fabulous resort. Cabo Roig villas are still filled with walkers, golfers and sports tourists as temperatures rarely drop below 15°C.
Cabo Roig holiday rental apartments, townhouses and villas are all within 35 minutes drive of Alicante Airport (ALC). Due to the popularity of the destinations along the Costa Blanca, there are huge numbers of daily flights direct from the UK. There are regular deals and offers on cheap flights to Cabo Roig.

Paranoid personality disorder
Paranoid personality disorder is a psychiatric condition in which a person has a long-term distrust and suspicion of others, but does not have a full-blown psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia.
Alternative Names
Personality disorder - paranoid
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The causes of paranoid personality disorder are unknown. The disorder appears to be more common in families with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and delusional disorder, which suggests genes may be involved. However, environmental factors may play a role, as well.
The condition appears to be more common in men.
People with paranoid personality disorder are highly suspicious of other people. As a result, people with this condition severely limit their social lives.
They often feel that they are in danger, and look for evidence to support their suspicions. People with this disorder have trouble seeing that their distrustfulness is out of proportion to their environment.
Common symptoms include:
- Concern that other people have hidden motives
- Expectation that they will be exploited by others
- Inability to work together with others
- Social isolation
- Detachment
- Hostility
Signs and tests
Like other personality disorders, paranoid personality disorder is diagnosed based on a psychological evaluation and the history and severity of the symptoms.
Treatment is difficult because people with this condition are often very suspicious of doctors. If treatment is accepted, talk therapy and medications can often be effective.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outlook usually depends on whether the person is willing to accept help. Therapy and medications can reduce paranoia and limit its impact on the person's daily functioning.
- Extreme social isolation
- Interference with work
Calling your health care provider
If suspicions are interfering with your relationships or work, contact a health care provider or mental health professional.

Cutter Family Finances: The Cost of Raising a Child in Today's Society
By: Jeffrey Cutter, November 27, 2013
Kids are expensive.
Last Wednesday, I made a guest appearance on the "Morning Show" at New England Cable News (NECN) with Kristy Lee.
Kristy wanted advice for NECN's viewers on how to tackle the rising costs of both child care and college.
I told Kristy that her timing could not have been better. I had just returned from a three-day "economic summit" in California on Monday. The purpose of the summit was to gather wealth and financial advisors with leading economists from around the United States, to discuss the current economic conditions and their impact on Americans and the markets. We discussed such topics as market cycles and trends; global approaches to the US markets and the international markets; monetary and fiscal policy; retirement strategies for uncertain times; and active investment strategies to protect wealth. One of the hottest topics of discussion was the financial burden the middle-class American family is carrying during this economic recovery.
Kristy and I discussed a recent study that shows how most middle-class families will pay more for child care than they will for their child's higher education. In fact, the study shows Massachusetts leading the way, finding that couples here in the Bay State spend more than 15 percent of their income on child care each year. I told Kristy about a US Census report we studied at the summit that shows that over the last five years, the average middle-class household income has fallen over 10 percent, while child care and college costs are continually rising, on average, 3 percent and 6 percent, respectively. No wonder the US birth rate is at a 30-year low.
I explained to Kristy that while the numbers on child care are staggering, it's only part of the price to be a parent in today's uncertain economic conditions. We talked about a recent study from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) that shows a middle-income family will spend more than $300,000 on a child from birth to age 17. This is astounding to me since the study does not even include the rising cost of college. But when you factor in all child-rearing costs, from food, clothing, and child care down to toothbrushes, it adds up quickly. I mentioned to Kristy that since I have three girls, I also have to consider the cost of items such as fancy headbands, iPhones, phones, and "skinny" jeans, which are not cheap! (I still do not understand the concept of "skinny" jeans. I guess it is probably best I don't, since I am the father.)
My advice to the young couples watching NECN last Wednesday was the same that I give to you, our Cutter Family Finance readers. Financial planning is more critical than ever for this demographic. First, do not wait until your new baby arrives to begin a "baby" budget. Young couples must run the numbers to see how much they will spend on everything from food and formula to diapers. I recommend using the USDA's Cost of Raising a Child Calculator (tinyurl.com/lcllued), which calculates the annual cost per child based upon a child's age.
Secondly, immediately start implementing the changes that such a "baby" budget requires. As the cost of child care keeps skyrocketing, some families are being forced to make a very tough decision: one parent is giving up his or her profession to stay home with the baby (my wife, Jill, and I went through this in 2003). My advice is if you are considering going from a two-income household to a one-income household, start acting like the changes are effective today, which could mean big cuts to your expenses. Take action now.
Lastly, build a cash cushion. I recommend that young families have an emergency fund of at least six months, given how unpredictable life with kids can get. Prospective parents should start saving during pregnancy and save as much as possible. This is also the time to cut debt since there is more financial certainty.
At supper last Wednesday, Jill, the girls and I talked about the TV interview I had with Kristy and NECN that day. I shared the report with them about the significant costs associated with raising children. I told them that we need to cut back on the fancy headbands, iPhones, and skinny jeans. Almost in unison they yelled, "Not happening, Dad!!" Hmmm...I think I am overruled on this one.
Be vigilant and stay alert, because you deserve more.

Hmmmm ... where to begin.
Olympic probe into gymnasts' ages:
The governing body of world gymnastics has asked China to provide more proof that none of its gold medal-winning women's team were under age. The International Olympic Committee had asked gymnastics chiefs to investigate a number of "apparent discrepancies". Chinese passport records appeared to show their gymnasts were aged 16 or above, which met Games regulations. But questions about their ages have been raised via reports in papers and online, claiming some may be just 14.
China accused over iTunes outage:
BEIJING, China (AP) -- Customers in China of Apple's iTunes online music store were unable to download songs this week, and an activist group said Beijing was trying to block access to a new Tibet-themed album. In Internet forums, iTunes users complained they had been unable to download music since Monday. That was a day after the Art of Peace Foundation announced the release of "Songs for Tibet," with music by Sting, Alanis Morissette, Garbage and others, and a 15-minute talk by the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan leader. Michael Wohl, executive director of the New York City-based group, said he believed the album was the reason for the iTunes interruption, though he had no proof.
Probe into gymnast He Kexin could rule soon - but censorship stops online debate
News of the investigation has set the Olympics abuzz, but the reports have been hidden from ordinary Chinese. None of the major Chinese news websites has published the story and some where reports of the inquiry had appeared have been closed down. This has not prevented some online debate – although several chatrooms where debate had been heated earlier in the day have since been shut down as site hosting companies censor what could be a sensitive topic. Many Chinese were indignant, if not furious, at the doubts raised over the eligibility of a new national heroine. BYY wrote : "People said this all along: you should prevent press freedom being used by enemies. Now look at the impact that has put China on the back foot."
The China syndrome:
IT WAS John Gilmore, founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who said that the internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. For years, the Chinese authorities have done their best to prove him wrong. Now a group of hackers has launched an attempt to stamp out censorship there - and they want your help to do it. Earlier this month week the Chaos Computer Club, a German-based hacking group, used its website, ccc.de, to launch a toolkit designed to help journalists reporting from the Olympic Games get uncensored access to Western websites. The toolkit was made available to journalists on a USB key that the CCC calls the Freedom Stick.

Renewing City Government to Reflect a New Economic Reality
Like families and businesses everywhere, Denver city government has struggled to make ends meet during the recession. Michael grew up without much money in some of Denver's toughest neighborhoods, so he knows the value of a hard-earned dollar. As the CEO of a nonprofit, Michael understands how to balance a budget, manage a payroll and run an organization. And as President of the City Council, Michael worked closely with Mayor Hickenlooper the past three years to tighten the city's belt by closing budget shortfalls of $350 million.
Denver's next mayor will have to eliminate another $100 million deficit in 2012 and each year for the foreseeable future until the city corrects a 10 percent to 15 percent structural imbalance in its $900 million General Fund. Bringing spending in line with revenues will be one of Michael's top priorities, and a comprehensive review of the city's finances – called for by Michael for the last two years – is now getting underway.
Revenues simply are not keeping up with expenses. Gaping shortfalls of this magnitude are not sustainable, and they cannot be solved by tinkering around the edges. Recently announced federal and state budget cuts will impact the city's finances as well.
As Mayor, Michael will ensure fiscal responsibility and strong oversight of taxpayer dollars. He will eliminate programs that no longer reflect the needs of Denver residents and businesses. He will streamline services, offices and functions that are repetitive or wasteful. And he will achieve ongoing savings by making government more efficient, effective and customer-friendly.
This will require tough and at times unpopular decisions, shared sacrifice and collaborative problem-solving. But by renewing and realigning government, by providing strong leadership, Michael will make Denver a better place for all residents, businesses and neighborhoods.
Tough Questions, Tough Decisions
- Michael will engage all of Denver in an open and transparent process of examining and prioritizing what services we value the most, how they are best delivered, how much they truly cost, and how we pay for them. He will ask the tough questions and make the tough decisions necessary to re-shape city government for today and for a sustainable future.
- As Mayor, Michael will request a detailed fiscal analysis for all new ordinances and policies so the cost of new proposals is clear to the public and the City Council.
- Michael will invite all members of the public to participate in resetting priorities and redefining city government through a series of open meetings, interactive online surveys and other forms of public input.
- Michael already has begun convening roundtables of business owners and economic developers. He is gathering their input to help remove obstacles to economic recovery and to help improve the city's fiscal sustainability.
- Michael also will engage members of the city's 11,000-employee workforce to provide their front-line ideas on how to make government more efficient, cost-effective and innovative. Employees know better than anyone where systems are outdated and inefficient, and they can provide some of the most creative ideas for improvement.
Comprehensive Analysis of Government Structure, Finances and Operations
For the past two years, Michael has called for a comprehensive analysis of city government, including its structure, finances and operations. That review is now underway and is expected to produce recommendations within the new mayor's first 180 days in office. Realigning city spending with available revenues in a post-recession environment will not be easy. It will require a complete re-thinking and re-prioritizing of core services, particularly when 70 percent of the General Fund is committed to personnel costs, and it will require all options to be on the table.
As Mayor, Michael will:
- Realign resources across various agencies to reduce wasteful redundancies, giving close scrutiny to the Department of Safety, Division of Environmental Health, youth programs and services, and Office of Economic Development.
- Reduce the many layers of bureaucracy involved in revenue collection, finance, operations, budgeting, planning and permitting.
- Increase efficiencies, save money and improve service delivery by spinning off, consolidating or eliminating certain functions.
- Better deploy technology to streamline city services and make government more modern, efficient, transparent and accountable.
- Pursue new partnerships with stakeholder agencies such as Denver Public Schools, non-profits and neighboring communities to increase efficiencies and save money.
- Examine innovative best-practices in communities around the state and across the country to save money and streamline services in areas such as jails, drug-and-alcohol treatment, prevention, diversion, health and human services, and children and youth services.
- Improve the effectiveness of the city's 3-1-1 system.
Peak Performance
Central to Michael's plan to realign city government is Peak Performance. Modeled after the successful CitiStat initiative in other cities across the country, Peak Performance will provide direct, real-time performance data that will allow Michael and top city leaders to continually improve the way city government delivers services to its customers – and save millions.
The Peak Performance system of constant analysis and feedback will infuse government with a nimble and responsive private-sector model to drive efficiencies, cut costs and meet high standards of performance. Peak Performance data will allow Michael to make tough decisions to eliminate, consolidate and streamline services based on facts and finances, not politics.
Using the Peak Performance system, Michael will establish clear goals for each department, including the speed and quality of services delivered, citizen input, and cost. Outcomes will be measured against goals, and in regular meetings with the Mayor's Office, department managers will be held accountable for not meeting their benchmarks and congratulated for their successes.
As Mayor, Michael will use Peak Performance to:
- Cut red tape and improve processing times for permits, inspections and other services vital to job creation and business growth. Peak Performance will be piloted in key offices such as Economic Development, Excise and Licenses, and Development Services.
- Establish standards, benchmarks and checklists to help new businesses start and existing businesses expand by letting companies know exactly what to expect, including how long it will take to obtain permits.
- Help each neighborhood receive the same quality of services and speed of delivery. Under Peak Performance, Michael will map performance measures neighborhood-by-neighborhood to identify and eliminate service inequities.
- Replicate innovative services being provided by city employees and realign resources so frontline workers can do their jobs with the tools they need.
- Identify new ways to deploy 21st century technology to improve service delivery.
Michael knows there are no easy answers or simple solutions to the city's budget challenges. But as Mayor, Michael will fix the structural imbalance in Denver's budget and lead us toward a sustainable fiscal future for all of Denver.

it was ok
the art was pretty good and the animation would do except for the fact that the voices and music combined make it impossible to understand whats going on or whats being said. to put it plainly, the music drowns out the already hard to understand voices. I like your art style but definitely work on your sound quality.

Icelandic sheep
The Icelandic sheep (Icelandic: íslenska sauðkindin)[1] is a breed of domestic sheep. The Icelandic breed is one of the Northern European short-tailed sheep, which exhibit a fluke-shaped, naturally short tail. The Icelandic is a mid-sized breed, generally short legged and stocky, with face and legs free of wool. The fleece of the Icelandic sheep is dual-coated and comes in white as well as a variety of other colors, including a range of browns, grays, and blacks. They exist in both horned and polled strains. Generally left unshorn for the winter, the breed is very cold-hardy. Multiple births are very common in Icelandic ewes, with a lambing percentage of 175% - 220%. A gene also exists in the breed called the Þoka gene, and ewes carrying it have been known to give birth to triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, and even sextuplets on occasion.
Ewes can be mated as lambs as early as five to seven months, although many farmers wait until the ewe's second winter before allowing them to breed. They are seasonal breeders and come into estrus around October. The breeding season can last up to four months. Rams become mature early and can start breeding as early as five months.
Descended from the same stock as the Norwegian Spelsau, brought to Iceland by the Vikings, Icelandic sheep have been bred for a thousand years in a very harsh environment. Consequently, they are quite efficient herbivores.
Color genetics[edit]
The colors of Icelandic sheep are inherited in a similar way to those of other sheep, but they display more variety in color and pattern than most other breeds, and there are some variations not seen in other sheep. Each sheep carries three genes that affect the color of the sheep, and for each gene, there are dominant and recessive alleles. Each lamb will receive one allele from each parent of each of the genes shown below.[2][3]
|Gene name
|Dominant alleles
|Recessive alleles
|Base color
|brown (moorit)
|A (agouti gene)
|white (gray, badgerface, mouflon)
|(gray, badgerface, mouflon) solid
|no spotting
The base color of all Icelandic sheep is either black, white or moorit (brown), each coming in a variety of shades and tones. Black is the dominant allele. The appearance of these colors can be altered by patterns and spotting.
There are six patterns alleles in the breed. The most dominant pattern of these is white, which will conceal any other pattern, color or spotting that may be present, producing a solid white sheep.
There are several other patterns which will change the appearance of the color the animal shows. One of these is gray, which, together with the base color gene, will give rise to either gray black or gray moorit. Another is "badgerface", which shows as lighter coloration on the back, sides, neck, ears and face, with a darker color on the underbelly, under the tail, parts of the neck and around the eyes. Once again, this pattern will show as either grey badgerface or moorit badgerface. A further pattern is "mouflon". These sheep will be light-colored where badgerface sheep are dark, and dark where badgerface sheep are light.
The gray, badgerface, and mouflon patterns are equally dominant. A sheep can display any of these patterns individually, or they can display two of them at the same time. Sheep carrying both badgerface and mouflon show as plain-coloured sheep with slightly darker markings where the two patterns meet.
There is also a single allele that is currently found only in Iceland that displays as gray mouflon – it is separate from the normal mouflon pattern. This single gene is dominant to all genes other than white.
The least dominant pattern is solid, which is essentially no pattern at all. Solid-patterned animals will simply show their base color all over. To be solid, a sheep must inherit the solid pattern from both parents – the parents could be solid themselves, or they could carry a solid allele hidden by another other pattern allele.
White sheep can also carry any one of the five other patterns, but it will be hidden by the dominant white color (note that white in sheep is genetically a pattern, not a color).
This gene gives rise to white markings on the feet, face, head or over large parts of the body. The unspotted areas may be any of the patterns and colors described above.
There are two alleles for spotting: spotted, and unspotted; unspotted is dominant. Only when bearing two spotting alleles will the sheep display spotting.
Meat production[edit]
In Iceland, this breed is almost exclusively bred for meat.[clarification needed][4] Lambs are not fed grain or given hormones. The lambs are ready for killing by four to five months, when they weigh 70 to 90 pounds (32 to 41 kg). The meat has a fine grain and distinct, delicate flavor. The meat of the Icelandic sheep is considered a gourmet style of meat.
Icelandic fleece is dual-coated. In Icelandic the long outer coat is called tog and the fine inner coat þel. When separated, the outer and inner coats are used for different woolen products.
Tog is generally classified as a medium wool around 27 micrometres in diameter. It is good for weaving and other durable products.
Þel, being the finer wool and classified as such, is generally around 20 micrometres in diameter. This fine wool is used for garments that touch the skin.
Tog and þel are processed together to produce lopi, a distinctive knitting wool that is only made from the fleece of Icelandic sheep.
Historically Icelandic sheep were used for milk. There is an eight-week period where Icelandic ewes give milk.[citation needed] After the first two weeks, the lambs were weaned off the mother's milk. Then for the next six weeks, the ewes would be milked daily. Most provided about 1 litre (2 imp pt) of milk per day, while good ewes gave 2 litres (4 imp pt) to 3 litres (5 imp pt). The milk was used directly, or made into butter, cheese, an Icelandic soft cheese called skyr, or naturally sweet yogurt. Sheep milk is good for cheese, because it is high in fat and dissolved solids. A high yield of high-quality cheese can therefore be made from small amounts of the milk.
Sheep are not milked in Iceland today, and instead the lamb is allowed to continue suckling.
Icelandic sheepskins come in many colors and are generally not dyed. The hide is quite soft and is generally 6 square feet (0.56 m2) to 8 square feet (0.74 m2) in size. Depending on whether the wool has been shorn, the wool can be up to 8 inches (200 mm) in length.
Dry-cleaning will strip the natural oils out of the skin and wool, rendering it scratchy and rough. Gentle wool cleaners are generally used to keep the sheepskins soft.
The sheepskins are used for mittens, gloves, hats and to upholster footstools. When stitched together, they are used for rugs and blankets. The variety of colors inherent within the sheep often makes articles made from Icelandic sheepskin quite striking.
Breed history and leader-sheep[edit]
The only type of sheep in Iceland is the native northern European short-tailed sheep brought there by the settlers, the Vikings, 1100–1200 years ago.[5] Without them Icelanders would not have fared nearly so well through centuries of hardship on an isolated island just south of the Arctic Circle. Sheep grazing in winter was one technique which had to be utilized in order to sustain the people of Iceland. As a result, a unique, small population of sheep developed which displayed outstanding abilities to help the farmers and shepherds manage the flock on pasture, namely the so-called leader-sheep (Icelandic: forystufé). Although farming practices have changed and reduced their role, these highly intelligent sheep with special alertness and leadership characteristics still form a population of approximately 1000-1200 sheep within the total national sheep population of just under 500,000.
Most leader-sheep are colored and horned – even four-horned in a few cases. They have a slender body conformation, long legs and bones generally, yet of lighter weight than other sheep in the flock because they have been selected for intelligence, not for meat traits. Leader-sheep are graceful and prominent in the flock, with alertness in the eyes, normally going first out of the sheep-house, looking around in all directions, watching to see if there are dangers in sight and then walking in front of the flock when driven to or from pasture. They may even guard the flock against predators. There are many stories on record about their ability to sense or forecast changes in the weather, or refusing to leave the sheep-house before a major snowstorm. In fact, Icelandic sheep have long been featured in Icelandic stories, from Independent People to The Odd Saga of the American and a Curious Icelandic Flock.[6]
In a quest to preserve the Icelandic leader-sheep, in April 2000 a group of interested individuals founded the Leader-Sheep Society of Iceland. Chief among their priorities is to improve the individual recording of these sheep throughout the country and to plan their breeding more effectively. It has been noted that the "best" leader-sheep have been found in flocks in northeastern Iceland, but farmers in all parts of the country are interested in their conservation. The society is also supported by people who do not keep sheep, because they feel that Icelandic sheep in general have a special role in Icelandic culture.
In North America (both the United States and Canada), the Icelandic sheep is only registered through the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation (CLRC). Registration involves tattooing to the CLRC standard.

Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment (Patient)
General Information About Small Cell Lung Cancer
Small cell lung cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the lung.
The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped breathing organs that are found within the chest. The lungs bring oxygen into the body when breathing in and take out carbon dioxide when breathing out. Each lung has sections called lobes. The left lung has two lobes. The right lung, which is slightly larger, has three. A thin membrane called the pleura surrounds the lungs. Two tubes called bronchi lead from the trachea (windpipe) to the right and left lungs. The bronchi are sometimes also involved in lung cancer. Small tubes called bronchioles and tiny air sacs called alveoli make up the inside of the lungs.
There are two types of lung cancer: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. This summary provides information on small cell lung cancer. (See the PDQ summary on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment for more information.)
There are two types of small cell lung cancer.
These two types include many different types of cells. The cancer cells of each type grow and spread in different ways. The types of small cell lung cancer are named for the kinds of cells found in the cancer and how the cells look when viewed under a microscope:
Smoking tobacco is the major risk factor for developing small cell lung cancer.
Anything that increases your chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. People who think they may be at risk should discuss this with their doctor. Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer. Risk factors for small cell lung cancer include:
Possible signs of small cell lung cancer include coughing, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
These and other symptoms may be caused by small cell lung cancer. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:
Tests and procedures that examine the lungs are used to detect (find), diagnose, and stage small cell lung cancer.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
For most patients with small cell lung cancer, current treatments do not cure the cancer.
If lung cancer is found, participation in one of the many clinical trials being done to improve treatment should be considered. Clinical trials are taking place in most parts of the country for patients with all stages of small cell lung cancer. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from NCI Web site

I just upgraded my old NexRemote software (that came with my CPC1100) to v. 1.7.22 and I notice this has the latest GEM and NXS firmware to version 4.21 - I also have a newer Nexstar+ HC with my CG-5 mount and I realize now that I never saw the CD or it did not come with NexRemote software. So my question is, can I use my NexRemote software GEM 4.21 plugged into the newer NexStar+ HC or is that a non-starter? Is there another NexRemote software for the newer + HC ? The firmware on my NexStar+ HC is 5.20.

12 U.S. Code § 344 - Discount or purchase of bills to finance agricultural shipments
Upon the indorsement of any of its member banks, which shall be deemed a waiver of demand, notice, and protest by such bank as to its own indorsement exclusively, and subject to regulations and limitations to be prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, any Federal reserve bank may discount or purchase bills of exchange payable at sight or on demand which grow out of the domestic shipment or the exportation of nonperishable, readily marketable agricultural and other staples and are secured by bills of lading or other shipping documents conveying or securing title to such staples: Provided, That all such bills of exchange shall be forwarded promptly for collection, and demand for payment shall be made with reasonable promptness after the arrival of such staples at their destination: Provided further, That no such bill shall in any event be held by or for the account of a Federal reserve bank for a period in excess of ninety days.

And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; Tekel, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting; Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.
~ Daniel 5:24-28
Society and morals in present age are very similar to those of Rome before its infamous fall. And they were similar to those of Babylon in days of Belshazzar king. History tends to be very repetitive:
What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.
~ Ecclestiastes 1:9
And so we can see that this spirit of Babylon always starts to show itself when people become more and more immoral. Incredible amount of earthly riches, incredible arrogance, incredible immorality. All of these happened in Babylon's final days. All of these happened in Rome in its final and not-so-glorious days:
What has become of those laws which checked extravagance and ostentation? those which ordered that not more than a hundred pence should be allowed for a dinner, that not more than one fowl and that not specially fattened should be served, which removed a patrician from the senate, because he had ten pounds weight of wrought silver, on the ground that this was a notable proof of ostentation, which proceeded at once to destroy theatres as they rose for the corruption of morals, which did not allow the badges of office or noble birth to be employed lightly or with impunity? (I ask these questions) for I see dinners, which can only be called centuries from the 100,000 sesterces they cost, and whole mines of silver worked out into plates, a small thing if they were the property of senators only and not of freedmen or of those who are still liable to be flogged. I see too that one theatre, or a theatre open to the sky, is not enough for each town; for doubtless it was to prevent their immodest pleasure from being too cold in winter, that the Spartans first invented their cloak for the sports. I see too that there is no difference left between the dress of matrons and that of prostitutes.
~ Apologeticum, Tertullian
And we see that God, after a time, weighted Rome and saw it wanting, unworthy, lacking. It was destroyed.
We should wary. "Mene, Mene, Tekel and Parsin!" This is a warning, a message God is now speaking to this morally depraved, ungodly world! He is coming again, Christians! And when He comes, will He find us holy or wanting?
"…Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy. Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
~ Revelation 22:11-13

- Birthday celebrationCeeceeDined on 9/15/2014I had a birthday dinner there. Our server, Karla, was outstanding. She made me feel like it was a special night. The food was delicious and the evening was lovely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FiletstanthemanDined on 9/13/2014I had the filet with the bone-in which was a special. That was the first time in my life I had filet served that way. That says a lot about a restaurant, when you can have a truly unique dining experience. It was very good. The waiters were friendly and catering, even to the many children there that evening. It was the One Direction concert at the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately, the filet will be discontinued on Tuesday due to rising costs. I'm glad I got to try it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic dinning experience!Luvtwodineout22Dined on 8/30/2014Great restaurant for a special occasion with your significant other or a nice dinner with your girlfriends. Overall, the food was amazing and the drinks were yummy. I highly recommend the pomegranate martini..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingFoodMagnetDined on 8/29/2014Ruth Chris is by far the ultimate in fine dining around the country. Outstanding evening with nice company and very seductive atmosphereSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014The steaks were as wonderful as we remembered them. The Lobster Bisque was exquisiteSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good choice.HaroldyVIPDined on 8/24/2014Everything was absolutely delicious from the steaks to the fish to the desserts. Only thing is the lobster mac & cheese left a lot to be desired. More like lobster and cheese topped onto some basic elbow pasta. Would not order it again but everything else tasted great and we will be back again soon.
- Best Ever!Yaya2013Dined on 8/19/2014This visit to celebrate my birthday was the best ever!! Patrick was amazing giving attention to every detail. We will be back soon.Special Features:
- Normally great but........loydmanVIPDined on 8/17/2014Probably got sat in the wrong dining room. Service was not what I'm used to at Ruth's Chris, nor was the ambience. Light and kind of loud. The Palm Desert Ruth's Chris puts Pasadena to shame on all fronts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SimonsVIPDined on 8/16/2014Had requested for a private area in the open table notes section but was denied right on arrival. Too pricey for the service, quality of food was just ok. They need to innovate else there are better alternatives all around for customers to enjoy. Overall, not worth the price.Special Features:
- SurpriseLilyDined on 8/15/2014Surprise...they do have a kids menu. I always knew the food was awesome, but didn't know that the risk of taking my little one would turn out to prove successful thanks to awesome waiter. Gave her coloring page, small bowl of strawberries and a toy cow at the end. Great night! And food...amazing! Favorite steak houseSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect night!MrTravelDined on 8/13/2014We decided to celebrate our anniversary for a night out in Pasadena at Ruth's Chris steak house and everything was perfect. The staff was excellent, the food was great, and we got a booth table as we requested through my Open Table App. on my cell phone. I definitely recommend Ruth's Chris for a romantic night out on the town, our menu's were even personalized with our names and that said Happy Anniversary. First class treatment without a doubt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentNonnieDined on 8/9/2014Ruth Chris was in no way disappointing! The Dodd was absolutely delicious, service was perfect and waiter was attentive; it was all together a great, great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No food for us.MeatEaterDined on 8/6/2014Wednesday night, restaurant half empty, reservations 6:15pm. We waited for an hour and never got more than drinks and bread. When I asked the waiter, he looked like a deer in headlights. I asked him how much longer before we get our corn chowder? He said, let me check. Then instead of coming back with two dishes of corn chowder, he says, it will be just a few minutes. I said bring a manager instead. Manager comes to our table and I said we are leaving because we have not received any food and it's been an hour. Before I let him try to explain I asked him, do you agree that starters should not take an hour to bring out? He said yes, to which I said at least you understand why we are leaving.
- Higher Prices Demand High ExecutionSeaborn7VIPDined on 8/5/2014When you go to any steak house these days it is hard to believe the official BLS numbers on inflation, about 2.5% a year. I remember when a petite fillet at Chris was about $26. Don't think it was much more than a decade ago. Now you pay $40. The issue is the price of grain (for cattle feed) which is rising. Still, this is a problem everywhere and Chris remains a solid steak house choice. Only complaint this night was my filet was way overcooked and the waiter never returned to check. But, it was still a great meal and good experience. Think they have the best creamed spinach around. But instead of slightly over $100 for two, expect closer to $200, including the tip. And higher prices will demand better execution in the future.Special Features:
- Food good/service excellentyntbomVIPDined on 8/3/2014The two of us who ordered steaks, liked them...didn't love them. My mom, though, loved her stuffed chicken which was oozing with cheese. The vegetable sides and fresh bread/butter were probably all of our favorites. Service was oustanding.Special Features:
- SteakDannyDDined on 8/1/2014The flavor of the ribeye was amazing cooked perfectlySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MidasVIPDined on 7/31/2014We had an excellent dinner made up of an assortment of appetizers and vegetable sides. Even though Ruth's Chris is known as a steak house, the side dishes are done very well and we chose to to go that route. It was a most enjoyable dinner. The service was excellent and we had a wonderful evening.I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Birthday Treat!JmesDined on 7/31/2014The place was perfect. The menu was outstanding. Very difficult to choose what to have. My wife does not eat meat, but does do seafood. The scallops were done perfectly and flavorful. I had the filet and shrimp. I don't think I ever had a better filet, and the shrimp was a nice touch. The presentation and service was consistent with a five star restaurant. Although it may seem expensive, you certainly get more than what you pay for at Ruth's Chris!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent service and food.SilverOrchidDined on 7/30/2014We went on our anniversary. Everyone, even the person who sat us down at our table, was so attentive! Great details of our Anniversary that we will cherish forever. Jaime the bartender was on top of it when it came to our drinks. Patrick and Jose were extraordinary waiters that went above and beyond our needs. To top it off, the food was top notch. I have eaten at several restaurants and the food here was excellent, by far the best I have tasted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TrinaDined on 7/30/2014I booked a reservation for a really good friend of mine and his wife for a really special night out. I made it a point to put in the OpenTable note section that the reservation was for them and not for me. Upon arriving the person who would have normally checked them in without hesitation, gave them a pretty hard time and couldn't understand why they weren't me (the person who made the reservation). My friends were seated for a bit in the waiting area while things were sorted out and when they were brought back up to the desk, apparently the girl finally saw the note. When they were finally seated, the food was bland and service was just okay. Steak was fabulous as always but that was it! :-\ I will continue to go to Beverly Hills instead.
- Pre-Bar Exam dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/28/2014Our server Patrick was excellent! The food was decent, but we were blown away by the service. The ambience was also nice.Special Features:

- Ruth ChrisOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014After many recommendations to eat here, I finally took the opportunity to try it out with the great deal via Dine LA. As soon as I arrived (15 mins before my reservation time), I was seated immediately. Service was great, I did not need to ask for any refills and everything was brought to my table timely. As for the food, all my friends were right, I was not disappointed. The ribeye and filet were amazing. Can't wait to come back and try some different cuts of steak as well as some new sides. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves steak!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Indulging a carnivore in the familyLadybergVIPDined on 7/24/2014Usually we go for happy hour. The one here is outstanding! Dinner here is special occasion time. The place is impeccable, the service top notch, and the steak is off the charts. Even the sides are nicely presented and delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Night at Ruth'sJassstarDined on 7/23/2014Went to Ruth's for my anniversary. It was pleasant but our waiter wasn't completely listening. He made two mistakes on our order. He was nice and apologized and eventually got it right. I ordered my steak medium rare. The steak came out on the tough side. Typically, I'm very satisfied with food quality at Ruth's. Thus night I wasn't impressed. Even the mashed potatoes seemed like instant potatoes out of a box. I'm not sure what happened. To top it off, it took an extraordinarily long time for our food to come out. The staff was very nice to our two year old daughter who accompanied us to dinner. Out of the many times we've visited, this was the worst. Always impressed each time before this last visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Luv2eatDined on 7/22/2014We came here during dineLA to treat my mom for her birthday and she loved it. The seared ahi tuna was delicious with a kick of wasabi in every bite. The corn chowder was one of the best we've ever had but lobster bisque was a bit disappointing, it left a weird after taste in my mouth. My favorite side was the creamed spinach. We also got the mashed potatoes and mushrooms, too bad there were only 6mushrooms. And lastly the garlic sea bass according to my mom was really good,she finished all of it. And as for the cowboy ribeye, a MUST TRY. It was so juicy, flavorful, it melts in your mouth. Thank you ruth chris steak house, i know i will be going back. Ps thank you shawn for being very attentive and helping us with anything we needed.Special Features:
- Great food and servicemyra2uDined on 7/21/2014Ruth Chris is a favorite of mine. I love the great food and service it provides. The last visit topped them all. Three wonderful entree's were served along side selected wines from Nickel and Nickel Winery they were superb!Special Features:
- 30th Anniversary Dinnersfoster911Dined on 7/20/2014This was my first time at Ruth's Chris. I was looking for a place to take my Best Friend for there 30 Anniversary Dinner. Ruth's Chris made it a special and wonderful evening. Thank you, OpenTable for your recommendation. S. FosterSpecial Features:
- Awesome Customer ServiceClassyFineFilipinaDined on 7/20/2014Jin was our waiter and he was great! What I love about Ruth's Chris, is that they greet you by your name. Well, Jin blew me away when said my last name correctly! My last name is difficult to pronounce but he was on point. I also liked that the manager, Paul, asked to see how our dinning experience was. Very professional. The staff overall was awesome. I wish I remembered their names so I can personally give them a shout-out. I will be definitely coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect event!foodieinsgvDined on 7/19/2014I love Ruths Chris! I usually go for date night with my husband but for this event i arranged dinner for my cousins bachelorette party. I had informed the restaurant that it was a bridal/bachelorette dinner party through opentable and they gave us a room to ourselves. It was absolutely perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dine LA weekShaunDined on 7/17/2014We came here during the Dine LA restaurant week. So, it's hard to make a reservation on Friday night. The restaurant is over crowded with big loud noise. The food is fantastic! We order a fillet mignon and a ribeye steak with cream spinach and sautéed mushrooms. Cooked perfectly! Few things to complaint, 1st is our waiter accidentally spill my wife's cocktail on our table and the glass become very sticky. 2nd is our waiter is way too busy that he doesn't really have time to clean up the appetizer dishes and wait until our steak is ready by our table. I believe it will be a better service quality when I revisit during normal business days.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- If you want a great steak come hereSteakLoverDined on 7/16/2014The menu lists tons of chicken and fish dishes, but I've always ordered the steak. And I've never been disappointed, so I'll probably never sample any of their other offerings. The sweet potato casserole is classified as a "side dish" but it could easily be dessert. I have to get this every time. The summer menu has a few special dishes that offer a nice change of pace too.Special Features:
- Ruth Chris PsadenaCoffeyfanDined on 7/16/2014Food was great. We had the 12 oz ribeye. Cooked to perfection. Only a tad too salty by the last few bites for me. Service was excellent. Staff was very friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingVikileeDined on 7/15/2014Great service from Frank and Pedro; professional, courteous and knowledgeable. The bartender was also superb; best blueberry mojito ever. Actually, the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was quite good, but secondary to the service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/14/2014This restaurant always serves good steak, any Ruth Chris for that matter. However, my personal experience with this particular location wasn't as grand as the other locations because our waiter, in particular, spent more of his time catering to a larger party of 6 people near us, and as a result, neglected us. We had to keep asking for our water glasses to be filled.Special Features:
- Good food, not amazingMMMMDined on 7/14/2014Steak was cooked to perfection, but the extra hot plates actually caused it to be over-cooked by the time we were halfway done. Cocktails and wine are acceptably-priced. Service was decent, but not on par with the standards you would expect at this price point. Decor is nice - it could have been romantic except for the abundance of casual diners and families.Special Features:
- Almost PerfectPasadenanDined on 7/8/2014If you are looking for a steak, it's as good as it gets. The meal was just lovely. If I'm looking for a criticism, the after dinner coffee was not especially hot. But, that is really reaching for something to whine about. The spinach may be their best kept secret.Special Features:
- Absolutely amazing..CindyDined on 7/5/2014Ruth's Chris steak house is absolutely amazing! Our waiter Joaquin did a wonderful job servicing our table. Ruth's Chris steak house has never failed my husband and I especially during our birthdays and anniversary. Having the reservations available through open table makes things soo easy. I would highly recommend Ruth's Chris steak house to anyone with their sizzling 500 degree plates, melting butter, yummy bread, mouthwatering steaks and scrumptious crab cakes!! Yum-My!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Valentine's Day brought quite a bit of excitement to the residents of the fictional Genoa City on "The Young and the Restless".
Speculation about whether or not Cassie Newman was still alive began months ago when Camryn Grimes was spotted on the set of the "Young and the Restless" taping scenes as "ghost Cassie". On Feb. 14 "Young and the Restless" viewers found out that someone who looks an awful lot like Cassie Newman is in town and had a secret meeting in the park with Victor Newman.
According to reports the "Cassie" and Victor Newman storyline will include the duo trying to keep Nick and Sharon apart by exploiting Sharon's bipolar disorder. In the midst of doing so the duo will discover that Sharon has an "explosive secret" and will not rest until they expose it to everyone in Genoa City.
In a recent interview Camryn Grimes, who portrayed Cassie Newman until she was killed off in 2005, reveals that fans will not find out exactly who the lookalike really is for "quite a while" and will be surprised at the "nature of her relationship" with Victor.
