The 23-year-old was due to join Leeds after a deal had been agreed to make his loan deal permanent, but the change of manager at Elland Road left him surplus to requirements.
Stewart started his career as a youth player at Manchester United but moved on to Hull in 2011 after failing to make a first-team appearance.
The Manchester-born winger helped Hull to promotion to the Premier League and had spells on loan with Burnley, Blackburn, Charlton and Leeds before his contract expired this summer.

Despite technical advances, the main treatments that are used today to treat cancer (surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy) reduce tumor burden, but are not curative in about half of cancer patients. Over half a million Americans continue to die from cancer every year. Most of these patients eventually die because the cancer spreads throughout the body using up all the body's available energy. Successful treatment of metastatic disease is a great challenge because tumors can develop throughout the body, requiring administration of therapy to the entire patient rather than just to the cancer. Surgery is not always an option, or if used, will not remove every cancer cell. Alternatively, effective radiation and chemotherapy not only kill cancer cells but also many healthy cells leading to a high level of toxicity for the patient. Therefore, there is a great need for more effective and selective methods to destroy cancer cells.
Dr. Sawicki's laboratory is developing new therapeutic strategies that hold great promise for improving the treatment of metastatic cancers, including prostate, ovarian, pancreatic, and cervical cancers. These strategies are based on the delivery of genetic material (i.e. DNA or RNA) to tumor cells exclusively to protect healthy cells from undesired damage. In one approach, DNA encoding diphtheria toxin is delivered to cancer cells. This is a safe and very powerful technology as only tumor cells die in response to targeted toxin production: the toxin is only produced inside cancer cells and does not affect other cells. To carry the genetic material inside cancer cells, extremely small particles called nanoparticles are being developed with our collaborators at MIT, Drs. Robert Langer and Daniel Anderson. In a second approach, nanoparticles deliver RNA rather than DNA to cancer cells. These special RNA molecules inhibit production of a specific protein required by tumor cells to survive. Dr. Sawicki and her colleagues recently demonstrated that both DNA- and RNA-based nanotherapy, effectively suppresses the growth of prostate and ovarian tumors. She is now testing these nanoparticles for their ability to kill pancreatic and cervical cancer cells. With minor modifications, she believes that nanotherapy can effectively treat additional cancers such as breast cancer.
Dr. Sawicki is applying lessons learned from her stem cell research to the nanoparticle therapy project. To this end, she is working to identify and isolate adult stem cells in the prostate. Adult stem cells can survive current standard therapies and are likely responsible for the development of aggressive prostate cancer. Using nanoparticle therapy to target the death of prostate stem cells holds promise as a new, effective and sustainable treatment for prostate cancer.
Approximately 30,000 men die from prostate cancer and 14,000 women die from ovarian cancer each year in the U.S. Despite technical advances, the main treatments used today to treat cancer -- surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy -- reduce tumor burden but are not curative in about half of cancer patients, most of whom die because they have metastatic disease. Successful treatment of metastatic disease is a great challenge because tumors develop throughout the body, requiring systemic administration of therapy to the patient. Surgical procedures are impractical, and effective doses of radiation and chemotherapy therapy often damage or are toxic to normal cells.
Systemic delivery of targeted gene therapy holds great promise for improving the treatment of metastatic cancers, including prostate and ovarian cancer. Targeted therapy can be accomplished by restricting the delivery of DNA to specific cells and/or restricting the expression of genes to certain cell populations. In our laboratory, we are developing a gene therapy strategy to deliver and effectively target expression of a so-called suicide gene encoding diphtheria toxin, DT-A, to prostate and ovarian tumor cells. This toxin is an especially potent inhibitor of protein synthesis, so its expression in tumor cells results in their death. We are exploring ways to modify both viral and non-viral vectors to deliver the DT-A gene specifically to tumor cells and to neovasculature associated with tumors. A new class of polymers, poly(β-amino esters), developed at MIT by our collaborators, Drs. Robert Langer and Daniel Anderson, condense DNA into nanoparticles, and show promise as an effective new way to deliver DNA systemically to patients, while avoiding adverse toxicity and immunogenic responses associated with other vectors. We are also studying the utility of different genetic regulatory elements for targeting DT-A expression to prostate and ovarian tumor cells. We use transgenic mouse models for prostate and ovarian cancer, and imaging technologies (optical bioluminescence and microCAT) to test the efficacy of new therapeutic designs.
In related research, we are working to identify adult stem cells in the prostatic epithelium and fetal stem cells harbored by mothers after they have given birth. Identification of these cells will lay the groundwork for the development of cell therapy strategies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases in the future.

The Detroit Red Wings added to their blue line on Saturday by signing Ian White to a two-year deal worth $5.75 million.
The deal will pay White $2.875 million per season.
It will be White's fifth club in the last 18 months. He was traded from Toronto to Calgary in January, 2010, and was then dealt to Carolina and San Jose before becoming an unrestricted free agent at the end of last season.
The 27-year-old scored a combined four goals and 22 assists in 77 games with three teams last year. He had one goal and eight assists during 17 playoff games with the Sharks.
White was a sixth-round pick of the Maple Leafs in 2002. The native of Steinbach, Manitoba has 36 goals and 143 points in 401 NHL contests.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls man suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries when he was hit by a truck driven by a man he had been arguing with.
Officer Sam Clemens says 35-year-old Scott Denys O'Brion allegedly hit the man with his pickup after the victim used a two-by-four to damage the truck.
Clemens says O'Brion drove away but turned around and drove at the victim. Clemens says police have a witness who saw O'Brion drive purposely at the 20 year old Sioux Falls man and accelerate as he got closer. He says the victim was hit by the truck and the drive fled the scene.
Clemens says O'Brion drove to the Law Enforcement Center where he surrendered to police.
O'Brion is charged with D-W-I and aggravated assault.

The Savoy Travel Humidor
Michael Moretti
Posted: May 19, 2003
However, we still have not mastered the intricate art of moving a bag from one place to another. The thought of having your precious cigars rot at a luggage depot in some third-world country has forced many an aficionado to take matters into his own hands, packing cigars in his carry-on or breast pocket. The Savoy Travel humidor from Ashton Distributors and Holt's Cigar Co. is a simple suitcase for your smokes that can mitigate the load of the weary traveler and protect his cigars going en route. It doesn't look as if smoking will be brought on board anytime soon, but staying close to your smokes guarantees a warm reception upon landing.
A mini-version of the larger Ashton Travel humidor, the Savoy comes in two sizes. The small version measures a compact 9 1/2 by 5 3/4 inches and the large is 10 1/2 by 9 3/4 inches. Either can fit comfortably into a carry-on or overnight bag; the small size can nestle into one of the many pockets in your travel coat. Crafted in genuine leather, the case has a simple design.
The large humidor is available in black or tan leather; the small comes only in black. The large holds 15 to 20 Churchill-sized cigars and the small can store up to 10.
The Savoy Travel Humidor retails for $85 for the large size and $60 for the small and is available at retail tobacconists. Call Ashton Distributors at 800-523-1641 for more information.

Alumni win public relations award
Larry Bowie (left) and Karin Koser (right) were recognized for their work on an educational video series about spinal cord and brain injuries. The two were honored with a Silver Anvil Award of Excellence in the health care services category, presented by the Public Relations Society of America. Created by the Shepherd Center and KPKinteractive, the video series targets families and loved ones of those affected by catastrophic injury. Bowie (ABJ '97) is director of marketing and public relations at Atlanta's Shepherd Center, a nonprofit hospital specializing in spinal cord and brain injury. Koser (ABJ '81) is owner of KPKinteractive, the video and interactive division of Decatur-based KPK & Company, a marketing communications firm. The series, "What you need to know about brain and spinal cord injury," took a year to make and was distributed to 140 hospitals and associations nationwide. Above, Bowie and Koser pose with author and activist Lee Woodruff, whose husband Bob sustained a catastrophic brain injury while serving as a reporter imbedded in Iraq. Woodruff makes a special appearance in the video.

Packaged bakery-goods maker Flowers Foods Inc. (FLO, $29.31, +$1.46, +5.24%) rises after multiple media outlets reported it had won the bidding for the majority of the bread-making business of Hostess Brands Inc., including the Wonder bread brand. A representative of Flowers didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Gulfport Energy Corp.'s (GPOR, $38.76, +$2.80, +7.79%) much-anticipated longer-term production data from the Utica Shale arrived in conjunction with strong fourth-quarter earnings and was bullish, Sterne Agee said in a note. The independent oil and gas company's fourth-quarter earnings per-share beat consensus. "On the earnings front it was a strong, albeit messy quarter, with a lot of moving parts," Sterne said.
Guidewire Software Inc.'s (GWRE, $37.20, +$5.67, +17.98%) fiscal second-quarter earnings climbed 49% as the provider of software for property/casualty insurers reported double-digit revenue gains across its segments. Results topped the company's expectations.
Joy Global Inc.'s (JOY, $63.18, +$3.22, +5.37%) fiscal first-quarter earnings were roughly flat from the year before even as revenue edged up, as the heavy-duty mining-equipment maker recorded a higher income tax provision. Results beat Wall Street estimates.
Lamar Advertising Co.'s (LAMR, $45.53, +$1.92, +4.39%) fourth-quarter profit rose 13% as the company recorded higher revenue and stronger margins. The provider of outdoor advertising and logo sign displays also posted revenue slightly above its own estimates.
Live Nation Entertainment Inc.'s (LYV, $10.42, +$0.30, +2.96%) fourth-quarter operating loss widened amid a $62.7 million write-down at its Artist Nation marketing business, masking the concert-promotion company's broad revenue growth, led by its concert business. But revenue came in slightly above Wall Street's expectations.
Wunderlich initiated coverage of OpenTable Inc. (OPEN, $56.94, +$2.87, +5.31%) with a buy rating and $68 price target, saying the provider of online reservations has a strong competitive advantage in the U.S. market due to network effects and has plenty of opportunity for growth.
Optimer Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OPTR, $12.12, +$1.40, +13.06%) said it has begun exploring a "full range" of strategic options and also named Chairman Henry McKinnell as its new chief executive, part of a larger overhaul of top management.
Papa John's International Inc. (PZZA, $51.86, -$4.79, -8.46%) has restated its financial results for the 2009 through 2011 fiscal years as well as the first three quarters of 2012 due to an accounting error for one of its joint-venture agreements. The pizza-delivery company on Tuesday also reported its fourth-quarter earnings rose 9.2% as it benefited from an extra week of sales in the latest period, though core earnings fell short of analyst expectations.
PDC Energy Inc.'s (PDCE, $47.00, +$5.29, +12.68%) fourth-quarter adjusted loss came in below consensus due to higher exploration and interest expense, said Suntrust in a note to clients. However, in Utica, the company's second test, results were higher than the prior test, the Onega Commissioners, Suntrust said.
Priceline.com Inc.'s (PCLN, $699.30, +$20.81, +3.07%) bookings momentum was back on the ascent in fourth quarter, with earnings rising 28% as international business surged. The company's adjusted earnings came in ahead of guidance.
Questcor Pharmaceuticals Inc. (QCOR, $34.38, +$1.72, +5.27%) raised its quarterly dividend 25% to 25 cents, while also reporting that fourth-quarter revenue and per-share earnings comfortably beat Street views.
At-home soda machine maker SodaStream International Ltd. (SODA, $48.01, +$1.64, +3.54%) signed another brand and will now be adding fizz to cranberry juice through a new partnership with Ocean Spray that will make three flavors available in the second half of the year.
VirnextX Holding Corp. (VHC, $35.94, +$1.98, +5.84%) said a federal court upheld a $368 million jury verdict in its patent-infringement suit against Apple Inc. (AAPL, $447.33, -$1.64, -0.37%), which had sought to reduce the award. The court also denied Apple's request for a new trial on the liability and damages portion of the verdict. An Apple spokesman wasn't immediately available for comment.
Weatherford International Ltd.'s (WFT, $11.60, -$0.33, -2.77%) fourth-quarter loss widened as the oilfield-services company posted $122 million in special charges, offsetting record revenue for the period. Per-share earnings fell short of the company's own estimates.
Zogenix Inc. (ZGNX, $1.66, +$0.45, +37.19%) said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notified the drug developer that it doesn't expect to make a decision on its extended-release Zohydro painkiller by the planned Friday deadline, but it expects any possible delay likely would be short. Leerink Swann Research says it views "the continued FDA review of the ZoHydro NDA (for pain relief) as positive since the agency could have simply issued a complete response letter if it wanted to follow the panel recommendation from last December."

Are you ready for border blockages?
If you have a comment on the particulars of the upcoming project to expand State Route 543, locally known as the truck route, to five lanes between Boblett and the border crossing into Canada, your chance to meet with the responsible officials from the state department of transportation (WSDOT) comes Thursday evening, May 4 at 6 p.m. at the Blaine Senior Center.
Dustin Terpening of WSDOT's office in Burlington said, "things will undoubtedly get worse before they get better. The meeting is an informal open house where we want people to come and ask all the questions they can think of."
When contacted about why the WSDOT is calling an open house about the state-funded project, Senator Dale Brandland (D-Bellingham) said he will not be able to attend. Rep. Doug Ericksen (R-Ferndale) will also miss the meeting but said that as a member of the house transportation committee he's been working on this project since he got to the legislature eight years ago.
"We've got the money now and have to get this thing going on time, but will make sure we minimize the impact of the project." Ericksen invited those with questions to call him at 360/786-7980.
construction schedule calls for closing the extra truck
lane that runs from Boblett Street to the border in
June until the project is finished sometime in
the fall of 2008. Terpening said this is needed
to drill the holes for 1,400 pilings needed to
support retaining walls on each side of the lowered
roadway plus a planned D Street overpass.
That work will continue through the end of this year. In 2007, the highway will be lowered as much as 25 feet and an overpass will be installed for D Street traffic.
In 2008, the road will be poured, using concrete from H Street north and asphalt (to save money) from H Street south to Boblett.
Closing the truck lane is seen by Blaine truckers as a virtual guarantee of traffic gridlock for the entire two to three years it will take to build the new highway.
Chuck Schamel, vice-president of TC Trans, located on Odell just south of Pipeline Road said, "Right now trucks back up daily from two or three in the afternoon until 10 or 11 at night,"
Schamel's company provides tractor-trailer combinations to carry freight north across the border to Canadian destinations "for truckers who can't cross into Canada," he said, "and in doing this we make about 60 border crossings each day."
Schamel said that during construction "anything that keeps trucks and cars separated is a good thing. They should be working with the Canadians to move cars to I-5.
As it is, this will create longer backups when the cars mix with the waiting trucks." Schamel said that as much as this will delay the trucks, it's going to be difficult if not virtually impossible for cars to cross on SR543.
With the two types of vehicles mixing in a single northbound lane before going to their separate Canadian inspection lanes near the border, "a backup in one backs up the other one, too," Schamel said.
Figures from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicate that though the total amount of vehicles crossing the border varies, the proportion of cars crossing at the Peace Arch and the truck route remains very roughly constant, with the Peace Arch getting from 55 to 70 percent of the traffic.
In 2005, for example, 1,366,000 cars crossed northbound at the Peace Arch. At the truck route 1,091,000 cars crossed northbound.
These figures suggest that diverting cars from the truck route could come close to doubling traffic at the Peace Arch.
Suggestions for keeping cars and trucks separated to expedite travel include working at night; moving waiting trucks out of the construction area; closing only the portion of the road actually being worked on; and adding a temporary lane on the west side of the roadway to divert cars off I-5 onto a "business loop" that would get people waiting in line off the freeway and onto Peace Portal Way, where they could take advantage of Blaine businesses.
Terpening, however, said that predicting problems and thinking up solutions is often counter-productive because "the reaction traffic has to an obstacle is often hard to predict accurately."
Blaine police chief Mike Haslip agreed, saying that "to deal with this effectively it's better to provide an alternative or detour that's obvious and attractive rather than trying to outguess motorists before a project starts ... And don't worry, we'll be on scene to help out."
Regardless, Schamel said the project is worth doing "even though it's going to be a painful couple of years to get there."
He said his preference would be for trucks to exit I-5 onto a re-built exit 274 and directly onto Odell Street and then to the border either via H Street and the present truck route, or by a completely new route, "to get the trucks away from the school."
He said such measures are justified because,"Blaine's only here because we're on the border, and because of that, trucks are essential to Blaine's continued existence."
The project will be nice when it's finished, he said, but it will be "10 years out-of-date the day it opens."
Planners at WSDOT agreed that eliminating the trucks-only lane and closing SR543 down to two lanes will undoubtedly jam traffic for the next three summers. But due to poor soil underneath the road, Terpening said, 1,400 pilings will be needed to support it and for that they need to drill holes 80 feet deep.
"That requires bigger drilling rigs and more room to work," he said, along with the large cranes that will be lifting steel off trucks and into the shafts. With all this equipment, we need quite a bit of room. It's going to be a tight squeeze as is.
"Trying to keep the truck lane open would substantially lengthen the project. When you extend the length of a project you also increase the cost of the project exponentially."
Blaine Chamber of Commerce president Gail Kruk said in an e-mail that the project "sounds like a nightmare for Blaine residents and businesses, individuals crossing the border and for our truckers.The tourists will not come!"
Kruk predicted tough times locally, pointing out that "the board walk is in progress, we have new businesses coming and now we will be negatively impacted by the truck lane closure.
"I think for some Canadians this will be the final straw, or they will use the Lynden or Sumas crossings, thereby passing Blaine completely.
"The same goes for Americans traveling north – they will avoid the Blaine crossings... it could be a disaster for our restaurants, retail stores and hotels/motels."
Kruk suggested that truck traffic could be re-routed to Sumas, "and make both the Peace Arch & SR543 crossing strictly car crossings until the truck lane re-opens, but again, we are moving folks out of Blaine and that is never good for our economy."
The other issue cited by Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic is, that, of how congestion within Blaine will affect such things as emergency access across the truck route during construction and school bus traffic to and from Point Roberts.
"I know they've given this a lot of thought at WSDOT," Tomsic said, "so the question is whether anyone has identified specifically who will be impacted by this user group – for example, what is the impact on school traffic?"
Carl Wagelie, director of transportation for Blaine schools, said that he met with WSDOT officials when the project was first proposed two years ago.
"I've been guaranteed that we'll have
good border access as well
as access across 543 during construction."

Behind the HSP's simple value proposition for end-users is a complex business model. The HSPcomplete calls for numerous service providers, partnerships, and alliances to put all the pieces together in the hosting service business.

According to Forrester Research (1999), 22 percent of enterprise and small to medium-sized business customers outsource their mission-critical applications to hosting service providers for sound business reasons. First and foremost, there is a general shortage of Internet IT expertise for hire in the marketplace - this was the reason cited by 67 percent of businesses that have outsourced their applications. Other major reasons mentioned are time to market, reduce cost, and reliable network connectivity. "The Internet has fundamentally transformed the way business is conducted throughout the world. Service providers including hosting service providers and data centers are finding new market opportunity in application hosting, which uses the Internet to deploy and deliver software applications to business customers."

HSPcomplete helps to simplify and automate a complex business model in hosing service business to unprecedented access over a robust network infrastructure that excels in reliability and security.
"SWsoft has formed a business collaboration with 1-Net Singapore. 1-Net will offer HSPcomplete as one of its suite of hosting services. The simplified server management feature which include automation and scalability will be a great asset for 1-Net to leverage on. To do this, we will pool together our expertise and technology to1-Net." Said Serguei.

We are glad to have SWsoft's commitment in service and support for HSPcomplete and look forward to working closely with SWsoft in rolling out this service." Said Gregory Chia, Chief Operating Officer, 1-Net Singapore.

We will provide top level of software expertise and technology to facilitate new generation hosting business."

Are expensive HDMI cables a rip-off?
There are few products that look the same and do the same thing, but range in price from 1 cent to $300.
This post comes from Brandon Ballenger at partner site Money Talks News.
If you're in the market for a new television set, Best Buy is selling a Toshiba 32-inch flat-screen HDTV for $290. Not a bad deal, right? But you'll need something called an HDMI cable to get that high-definition signal from your cable box or DVD player to your new TV. Best Buy sells those, too. For example, you can buy a 3-foot-3-inch AudioQuest HDMI cable -- for $295.
You read that right. The cable costs more than the TV. But did you know that cheap generic cables are just as good as pricey name brands? Stacy Johnson explains why in this video report. Check it out, then read on for more.
Of course, Best Buy sells cables that cost less than $295. A 4-foot Monster cable costs $120 -- it's longer and cheaper. So what's the difference? And why does RadioShack sell a 20-foot Monster cable for $200? That's five times longer for less than twice the price.
Even more confusing, you can buy HDMI cables for as little as $10 for 6 feet or as much as $1,100 for 65 feet.
If people are willing to pay $60,000 for a bottle of water, I guess it should come as no surprise that they'd pay $300 for a TV connection cable. But at some point common sense has to win over silly hype.
Lest you harbor doubts about what Stacy said, here's the Popular Mechanics comparison he mentioned. These are the cables they compared:
- 13-foot generic, $13.
- 13-foot Monster HDMI 1000 HD, $200.
- 16-foot Honeywell with CURxE Light Technology, $300.
The price difference is significant. But what about the audio and picture quality?
"None of our editors could tell the difference," the magazine said. "The fact is, HDMI is digital, meaning you either get the feed or you don't. High prices and gimmicks like gold-plating don't affect 1s and 0s."
Here's the kicker: The Popular Mechanics study dates back to 2008. It's four years old, yet the price of HDMI cables in electronic stores is still off the charts. Obviously, people who don't know better continue to take their advice from commissioned salespeople rather than experts.
More evidence: In 2010, tech website CNET agreed with Popular Mechanics. Two years ago, it declared:
The editors at CNET are so confident that cheap HDMI cables offer identical performance, we've been using inexpensive Monoprice HDMI cables in the CNET Home Theater Lab for more than a year with no issues. ... If cheap HDMI cables are good enough for the eagle-eyed video professionals at CNET, we're betting they're good enough for your home theater.
CNET says you shouldn't pay more than $10 for one, and I agree: I bought a 1.5-foot cable from Monoprice for $3 a few years ago, so I could hook my Xbox 360 up to my computer monitor. It works just fine, but it turns out I overpaid. Because you can buy HDMI cables for 1 cent, plus a couple of bucks for shipping, at Amazon.
Bottom line? If you feel the need to throw money down the tube -- or behind it -- with expensive cables, well, it's a free country. But if you paid more than $100 for your HDMI cables, I've got a bottle of water you might be interested in.
More from Money Talks News and MSN Money:
Oh, then there are undercoating, upholstery protector, extended warranty, etc. for that new car. Actually, there's that new car itself, especially if it's leased through the dealer! There's a reason why car dealers bought exemptions from the new Consumer Protection law from Congress.
And $1100.00 for HDMI and USB cables.
10' of hospital grade Fiber Optic cable $89.00 from a company that supplies it those in the science industry.
10' of the same grade Fiber Optic cable from a company that supplies cables to the high end audio community: $795.00.
I would love it if someone would investigate the high end audio industry.
From cable lifts for your speaker cables, to component racks for as much as $10k, to pens with green ink used on CD's to control the laser beam.... and the list just goes for ever.
Anyway, I do agree with the Article in that anything over about $10 is too much. in Australia I get my HDMI Cables from these guys...
Articles like this are misleading and very frustrating for someone who knows what they are talking about. First, paying for expensive cables for normal devices (cable tv, dvd players, game consoles) is silly and unnecessary. However, there are several points in this article that are false:
1) Digital signal isn't "either get the feed or you don't" as they put it. You can easily have too much data traveling over a cable that gets corrupted and causes visual fragmenting, loss of signal and other issues. Ever seen a digital cable or HD signal get box fragmenting or lost completely? Of course you have, digital doesn't mean crystal clear perfect or not there at all.
2) There are devices on the market (3D TVs and newer Audio Receievers 2010+) that require a higher amount of bandwith from a cable to function. If you get one of these devices they will not function with a cable that is unrated or rated for less than the bandwith required (most often HDMI 1.4 at 10+ gb per second). They aren't super common, but it is a fact that cheap HDMI cables will not work with these devices and it was tested at CES a couple years ago and duplicated in my store when I was still working in sales.
What you end up paying for in a nice cable is rated throughput. Instead of a couple gigabytes per second you get upwards of 15-20 gigabytes per second, which using 3D and audio return channel requires to function. There is a big difference between selling someone something they need and trying to pad your wallet, personally I was always of the opinion that honesty creates more return customers. I'm no longer in sales (I'm using my Bachelors) but it bugs me to see patently false information spread through articles like this with little more than opinions as proof.
So go ahead and buy those monoprice cables for your Xbox or PS3 or cable box, but when you go buy a high end reciever and some nice speakers and you can't figure out why your 3D TV doesn't work anymore don't come looking to me for answers because I won't have any sympathy for you.

I bought 4 of these items and just returned them all to Overstock as they did not fit my Galaxy S4. Firstly, the fit was wrong and each of them came off the phone. Secondly, when you pulled them out of the holster gently the ends fell off. They are a super value that is why I ordered 4 but when they all did not fit I feel the manufacturer of the product needs to revisit the "fit" for the phone. The Galaxy S4 is a very expensive telephone and these were bought to protect the investment. However, if they are not going to fit properly than there is no point to keep them. I thank Overstock for a really special value and ask that product control revisit these items so I can consider purchasing them perhaps at a later date.l
The quality of the product is good. The problem is that the belt clip only works if you dont have the phone cover on. The clip is too tight and the rubber sides stop you from getting the phone out of the clip without wrestling with the phone to get it out. Good idea but bad design. I had to get someone else get the clip off the phone as it was just too hard for me to do. I thought it could be bacause the cover was new but it is not loosening up at all.
This product is OK but you can't stuff a Samsung Galaxy S4 in it. The key may be that the package has an "S4" sticker over some other phone type. The quality of the product is good if only I could use it for my S4. Don't buy if you have a Galaxy S4. Returning it.
Belt clip broke off on first use. Otherwise, it seems to offer reasonable protection.
Moulding of silicone is mishapened from mass production.
I really like this case especially that it comes with a touchpad pen which is very useful and they have a variety of colors also it's a very sturdy case. I love it.

WASHINGTON, Ill. (AP) — Illinois residents affected by the Nov. 17 tornadoes can get access to disaster relief and information at a new facility in the central city of Washington.
More than 20 local and state agencies are staffing the Multi-Agency Resource Center, or MARC.
It opened Saturday at a fitness and community center called Five Points Washington. It's open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Tuesday.
Gov. Pat Quinn calls it a "one-stop shop for people affected by the deadly tornadoes" to get assistance and information on the recovery process.
Quinn has declared 15 counties state disaster areas, opening the door to state resources such as trucks, communications equipment and heavy equipment for debris removal.

Looks like Jeff Jarrett has made a major stride in the formation of Global Force Wrestling. It has now been announced that the promotion will be doing a pay per view on January 4, 2015. Since he has a business relationship with New Japan, and they do their biggest pay per view event on that day, there are speculations that Jarrett could be promoting that show as a GFW branded event in the United States.
September 30, 2014
Despite not being a major topic of conversation among the internet wrestling community, the season premier of Total Divas did really well this week. They managed to draw in over a million viewers. If the show can manage to maintain that type of number, then there's a very good chance that the relationship between WWE and E! will continue. Rosa Mendes was added to the cast this year, so a new diva could be added if another season were to follow.
September 9, 2014
The relationship between WWE and Rey Mysterio might be worse than what a lot of us already thought. Reports have surfaced that the company and the popular masked performer are not communicating with one another nowadays. Many were under the belief that a discussion would be had when Mysterio made a taped appearance at TripleMania for AAA. Apparently, WWE is letting that issue slide for the time being, as lawyers have yet to get involved.
August 28, 2014
While the negotiation continues between the two sides, the belief is that Bully Ray and TNA are far apart on the financial terms. Management wants to keep their former world heavyweight champion around because he is quite the asset to the roster. However, they are limited in what they can pay him, much like how they had to let AJ Styles leave. Since neither side is willing to budge, it looks like the relationship could be over soon.
August 21, 2014
There were some talks backstage in WWE of bringing in Rey Mysterio to help do promotions for Summerslam 2014. He lives three hours away in San Diego and is especially popular in southern California. However, that never happened. The shows how bad the relationship is between the two sides, as Mysterio reportedly wants to be free of his contract with the company.
August 21, 2014
The relationship between Hulk Hogan and WWE has been further extended, as the former world heavyweight champion is now going to be involved in a movie for the company. WWE Studios is producing Celebrity Death Pool, featuring Ken Jeong from the Hangover series and David Hasselhoff. Hogan has a small role in the movie, but the company is expected to promote him heavily to draw in their fan base.
August 21, 2014
Rumors are spreading that Alberto Del Rio could possibly become one of the bigger names to sign with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling. The speculation is due to the fact that the two of them will both be at TripleMania this weekend. Jarrett has a business relationship with AAA and will be wrestling at the pay per view, while Del Rio, fresh off of a controversial release from WWE, will be making an appearance.
August 12, 2014
While making an appearance at the Comic Con event in southern California, Scott Steiner was asked about his relationship with WWE. He stated that the company has tried to get him to sign a Legends contract in the past. However, Steiner revealed that he did not sign the deal because his lawyers advised him against doing such a thing because WWE would basically own his name.
August 9, 2014
It looks like WWE will be utilizing the relationship between Cameron and her boyfriend a bit more during the next season of Total Divas. The belief is that something drastic will happen, where the couple will either break up or do a wedding. The heel turn and split from Naomi Knight was designed to put more attention into her character on the reality television show next season.
July 28, 2014
For the longest time, it seemed like Sting would never ever work for Vince McMahon or wrestle for WWE, but things have taken quite the turn. The relationship between the two sides have grown rather quickly. It now appears inevitable that the legendary WCW star is going to work a big match for the company. Sting has repeatedly stated his desire to do a match at every public event that he has attended recently.
July 25, 2014
In a rather interesting and bizarre bit of news, Natalya Neidhart is being sued by a prisoner in the state of Pennsylvania. Christopher Donnelly is alleging that the WWE diva mentally, physically and emotionally abused him from 2005 until 2009. He also claims that Natalya had an abortion during their sexual relationship. Donnelly is attempting to gain $250,000 from the lawsuit.
July 9, 2014
While a lot of fans are hoping to see WWE giving Dolph Ziggler a push again, the on screen relationship between he and Summer Rae is more about the diva than the former world heavyweight champion. Management needed someone to pair her up with, so that she can continue her feud against Fandango and Layla El. WWE still wants to give her a nice push heading into the next season of Total Divas.
July 6, 2014
When Seiya Sanada first joined TNA, the belief was that he was only temporarily here in the United States to boost his credibility with fans in Japan. However, since the relationship has worked out well for all sides, there are talks now of Sanada sticking around for a bit. A joint contract between the former X division champion, Great Muta and Dixie Carter is being discussed that will keep Sanada in the US a bit longer.
July 4, 2014
After their segment on Monday Night Raw this week, there is a lot of speculation going around about Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae. There has been no confirmation that they are dating in real life. The belief is that this is a move by WWE to make both of them slightly more relevant and to have a foil for Fandango and Layla El. This on screen relationship between Ziggler and Summer could be a short term thing.

Rumors are heavily floating around right now that TNA and House of Hardcore are working together. When Tommy Dreamer cut what seemed to be a shoot interview about Dixie Carter pulling Bully Ray from his show, some felt that it was out of character for Dreamer to do that, as he is viewed as one of the more respectful guys in the industry. Plus, Dreamer himself has a working relationship with TNA already, so it would not be hard to fathom that he would align his company with Carter.
June 8, 2014
Earlier this week, it was discovered that Bully Ray had been pulled from the House of Hardcore event that Tommy Dreamer was promoting. It has now been revealed that TNA pulled Bully Ray, so that he can go represent the company at a Spike TV television event. Since contract negotiations on a new television deal are ongoing, TNA wanted to maintain a good working relationship with Spike TV, and Bully Ray is one of their best representatives.
June 8, 2014
An interesting situation took place at the House of Hardcore show in New York tonight. Tommy Dreamer bashed Dixie Carter for pulling Bully Ray from his show at the last minute. He stated that the TNA president pulled Bully to appear on a promotional event for Impact Wrestling. Dreamer has a working relationship with Carter, so there are rumors that this was simply a story line to generate interest in both promotions.
June 6, 2014
The rocky relationship between Roddy Piper and Vince McMahon is apparently back on bad terms again. WWE officials are said to be quite upset with the former United States Heavyweight Champion for comments that he made about Legends House during promotional events. Piper, who is no stranger to backstage heat over the years, also made some derogatory comments towards Pat Patterson during a shoot interview recently.
May 30, 2014
In a sign that she should be called up to the main roster in the near future, Ashley Flair has been given the WWE NXT Women's Championship. She defeated Natalya Neidhart to capture the belt. Management has long praised her athletic ability, and with her father, Ric Flair, coming back to Monday Night Raw soon, WWE could be looking to capitalize on that relationship.

Toland organizes powder puff game
The lineup of homecoming activities at Powell High School got a boost this week thanks to the efforts of Hannah Toland.
Toland, a senior student-athlete at PHS, approached PHS activities director Jeff Jones with the idea of conducting a powder puff football game as part of the 2008 homecoming lineup. Upon hearing Toland's proposal, Jones gave her the green light to move ahead with her plan.
"She came to me early on and asked about the possibility of a powder puff football game. I told her I didn't see it being a problem as long as it was well organized. I've seen it done at other schools, and powder puff games are a lot of fun if they are done the right way."
Toland, who incorporated a fund-raising twist to the event and used it as her senior project, took Jones' approval and ran with the idea. With the help of family, friends and several school officials, Toland turned the project into what proved to be a smashing hit with those involved. In the process, the game raised money for families in need in the Powell area.
"I had a lot of help," Toland said shortly after the game's conclusion Monday night. "It's something I've always wanted us to have, and I think it went over really well. I've had people tell me they had powder puff games here at one point in time, but it's been a long time."
Because the event was so successful, Jones said he hopes to add the event to the annual list of homecoming activities.
"It will (become a tradition) if I have anything to say about it," Jones said. "Hannah did a great job organizing it, and that helped make it a success. She met with me twice a week, and I was very impressed with her initiative and ability to follow through. She took it seriously, contacted churches in order to locate families who needed help and showed a lot of professionalism."
As an added bonus for Toland, her Pink team, which was composed of seniors and sophomores, emerged victorious in the contest. They won the game 22-14 in overtime. When asked if the outcome was ever in doubt, Toland answered with an emphatic, "No!"
"We knew we were going to win from the very start," she said. "We just wanted to make it interesting at the end so people would remember how exciting it was."
Leslie Thronburg opened the scoring with a touchdown for the Pink team, but the ensuing conversion run failed.
The Purple squad, which was filled with freshmen and juniors, answered the score with a touchdown by Mikala Starcevich. The Purple squad also got the two-point conversion to go ahead 8-6.
In the second half, sophomore Stephanie Paul put her track skills to use by scoring the Pink's second touchdown of the game. Laura Morse added the conversion run for a 14-8 lead.
The score remained in the favor of the Pink team until an interception by the Purple squad's EmiLee Bapst with less than 25 seconds to play.
Bapst returned the interception about 75 yards for a touchdown to tie the score at 14-14 with three seconds remaining in the game. Time ran out on the failed conversion attempt.
Senior Galen Mills, who coached the Pink team along with his twin brother, Gavin Mills, served as the offensive coordinator, and he defended his decision to have his quarterback throw a pass with time winding down and his team holding a six-point lead.
"They wanted to throw the ball," Galen Mills said, stating that all of the players in the huddle were adamant about going for more yardage and another possible touchdown. "There was no way I was telling them 'no.'"
Fortunately for the Pink coaching staff, Paul bailed them out during the overtime period with another touchdown run and the two-point conversion attempt.
The Purple squad, during its one overtime possession, nearly scored on a long run by Katie Kipp, but she was stopped when her flag was pulled at the Pink team's one-yard line. The Purple team was stopped for no gain on its next play thanks to a first-rate defensive play by McKenzie Danforth. On the following play, the Purple squad fumbled the ball and the senior-sophomore team recovered it to seal the victory.

Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) Obstruction
What happens under normal conditions?
Kidneys produce urine by filtering the blood and removing wastes, salts and water. The urine must then drain from the kidney through an internal collecting system.
That system ends in a funnel-shaped structure called the renal pelvis. From there, it flows into a natural tube called the ureter.
Each kidney must have at least one functional ureter (some have two) to carry the urine from the kidney to the bladder.
What is ureteropelvic junction obstruction?
The most common cause of a child's urinary tract blockage is an obstruction at the point where the ureter joins the renal pelvis. This area is known as the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ).
Obstructions like these happen to roughly one in 1,500 children.
How is it detected?
Obstructions will develop in a forming kidney before a child is born. We can usually spot them on prenatal ultrasound screenings.
In UPJ obstruction, the kidney produces urine at a higher rate than what can be drained into the ureter. This causes urine to accumulate within the kidney. This is called hydronephrosis.
Hydronephrosis can easily be seen on ultrasound. That's how our doctors can predict the presence of UPJ obstruction before the baby is born.
What are the symptoms?
Ultrasounds allow doctors to identify most UPJ obstructions long before birth. However, if this screening doesn't catch it, symptoms can include:
Abdominal mass
Urinary tract infection
Flank pain, especially with increased fluid intake
Bloody urine
Pain, with or without an infection
Because some UPJ obstructions are irregular in nature, urine may drain normally at one time and be completely blocked at others. This will produce sporadic pain.
How is ureteropelvic junction diagnosed?
Ultrasound helps, but it can't diagnose a UPJ obstruction on its own. So we will perform a functional test on your child, which allows us to measure how well the kidney can produce and drain urine. The classic version of this examination is called the intravenous pyelogram (IVP). Here's how it works:
A dye is injected into the blood stream, and the kidneys remove that dye from the blood. The dye passes into the urine and eventually out of the bladder.
The dye is visible with X-rays throughout the process, allowing our doctors to see the shape of the kidney, renal pelvis and ureter.
While this test continues to be helpful, there's a more useful examination for children called the furosemides renal scan. This test is similar to the intravenous pyelogram, except that a we use a special (and completely safe) radioactive material, rather than the X-ray dye.
By following the material with a special camera, this test can give more accurate information about kidney function and drainage.
How is UPJ treated?
Before considering treatment, remember that poor drainage through the UPJ in infants and young children less than 18 months of age may be temporary. This subject remains controversial, and many experts hold different opinions.
However, here's what we do know: Many infants with good kidney function and poor drainage will have a dramatic improvement of drainage over the first few months of life, while some will not improve and others will get worse.
For this reason, patients in this age range who suffer from hydronephrosis (fluid-filled enlargement of the kidney) are watched with repeat CT scans and ultrasounds. If there is no improvement within the first 18 months of life, we'll establish a diagnosis of UPJ obstruction. From there, the condition requires surgical treatment.
Treatment: Minimally Invasive Surgery
Newer treatment of UPJ obstruction involves minimally invasive surgery. There are two options:
Option 1: We perform a laparoscopic pyeloplasty by placing several instruments through the abdominal wall.
Less pain and nausea, especially in older children and adults.
Could potentially cause scarring or adhesions within the abdomen.
Surgeons cannot use techniques that are as delicate in a laparoscopic as in an open procedure. The clear advantages of laparoscopic surgery are less pain and nausea especially in older children and adults.
Option 2: We insert a wire through the ureter, then use it to cut the tight and narrow UPJ from the inside. A special ureteral drain is left in place for several weeks and then removed.
The UPJ heals in a more open manner in most patients.
Less pain and nausea than open surgery.
The treatment may need to be repeated.
Success rates are clearly less than those of open surgery.
Treatment: Pyeloplasty
With pyeloplasty, our doctors perform an open operation to remove the ureteropelvic junction. We then reattach the ureter to the pelvis of the kidney. This creates a much wider junction between the two.
Usually, the surgery's incision is just below the ribs, and just behind a line that would pass from the patient's arm to their leg on the affected side. The incision is typically two to three inches long.
Hospitalization after surgery depends on your child's age.
There are a variety of drainage tubes we use to promote healing. Their use depends on the surgeon's preference.
What are the advantages?
A pyeloplasty allows rapid and easy drainage of urine produced by the kidney.
It relieves symptoms and the risk of infection.
The procedure only takes a few hours.
It has a success rate in excess of 95 percent with one operation.
The incision is usually just below the ribs and just behind a line that would pass from the patient's arm to their leg on the affected side. The incision is usually two to three inches long.

TXDot holding onto $1.6 million CMAQ funds
Tuesday, October 8, 2013 - 7:27pm
El Paso, TX (KDBC) — City council decided on Tuesday to move forward with plans for a scaled back bike share program.
The city, UTEP, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality have already invested a combined $400,000 in the program -- which will consist of six stations between UTEP and downtown. Each will contain 12 bikes.
TXDOT has refused to hand over one point six million dollars in federal money for the program. The Federal Highway Administration has already OK'd the funding – but TXDOT manages the money and so far is not releasing the funds.

Mind you this time around it's an Air Jordan 1 KO High OG – so there's Nike Air branding and a Vandal sole on the bottom. See the detailed images after the click and watch for more previews on Fall 2014 Air Jordans right here on Sneaker News.

Not only can this festive bird really dress up a Thanksgiving table, it also does double duty serving up your dinner rolls.
The Turkey's Body:
Trim the bag so that it measures about 8 inches tall. Then fold down the sides so that they are half the height and double the thickness. Cut the cardboard to fit in the bottom of the bag and insert it. Next, fold a paper plate in half and fit it inside the bag where the tail will go, bending the sides as needed.
Staple the plate in place. Then staple a second plate (don't fold this one) to the outside of the bag behind the first plate. For wings, fold 2 paper plates in half and staple one to each side so the bag is sandwiched between it.
For the turkey's head, fold and staple another paper plate, as illustrated. Decorate all the paper plates, including the head, by gluing on torn bits of colored paper. Then add a balloon wattle and googly eyes.
The Feathers:
Have your kids glue colored paper shapes on paper plates, layering different prints or creating bold patterns if they like.
When the glue is dry, cut feather shapes out of the plates and stick a craft clothespin to the back of each with tacky glue so your child can attach the feathers to the paper plates. For an extrafancy finish, they can add decorative notions or even their names.
